RWBY Relic Pieces in Volume 1, Symbolism of the Pieces, and How It Ties To the Broader Narrative.

Did a quick searchup on the symbolism of chess pieces, and taking what I saw into consideration (note that this is very abridged, and possibly not entirely correct):

CRDL and the Black Bishop

Bishops are representative of religion, as well as spirituality, morality, and wisdom, and a direct reference to Cardin's mythological reference, the Cardinal of Winchester. In regards to the broader narrative that RWBY sets up, he can be considered V1's partial representation of the institution of Huntsmen, more specifically the deeply flawed and darker side standing opposite to the better/neutral aspects of Huntsmen that RWBY/JNPR represent, due to being a racist bully who stands against Grimm, yet also willfully persecutes and harms the people he's supposed to fight for, such as minority groups like Faunus and (given Jaune at this point is basically a civilian in huntsmen's clothing and training wheels) the people depending on the circumstances. Also acts as a form of foreshadowing to the other deeply flawed or outright bad huntsmen we'd come to see later in the series, as well as highlighting the lack of wisdom and morality that can blight the institutions that Huntsmen are supposed to be, represent and protect.

The Black pieces in chess always move second, which highlights how the Huntsmen are a highly reactive organization, and how this severely limits their ability to truly tackle the bigger problems regarding threats like the Grimm, Salem, society's deep internal problems, and in the bigger picture, Ozpin's divine mission.

JNPR and the White Rook

Rooks are representative of the land, being symbolic of the fortress that guards a city or land and its royalty, and how they essentially "guard" the other pieces, as well as representing stability. The majority of JNPR come from civilians compared to the likes of RWBY, with this becoming completely the case after Pyrrha's death and Oscar's inclusion, and they're shown consistently throughout the series as having the strongest connections to civilians on a personal level. They also frequently as the bedrock and stabilizing influence, through Jaune, Nora and Ren's friendships and roles as supporting characters. Being white pieces also highlights how as time goes on, they would develop an increasingly proactive role through the questioning of the narrative told to them by the metaphorical "royals" (in this case, Ozpin's secret circle) and the latter's failure to actually protect them.

This is especially notable in regards to Jaune, Nora, and from a story perspective Ren, given how the former consistently questions Ozpin and his inner circle's shadier actions throughout most of V4 - V8, and Nora and Ren were failed miserably and made orphans due to the lack of huntsmen and the society around them failing to protect them, while putting them into a situation where their only recourse is to become part of the system that failed them.

RWBY and the White Knight

Knight pieces are representative of the medieval military, fitting given the status of Huntsmen, as well as being considered adventurous, valorous, and unpredictable due to their unique fighting style allowing them a level of unpredictability that other pieces don't have, fitting of how RWBY are the main proactive force to pushing Ozpin and the true nature of the secret war against Salem out into uncharted territory, forcing them to actually change and grow.

Knights are also often historically drawn from nobility, much like how every major character in RWBY has some kind of tie to Remnant's most illustrious groups or some kind of major player (Ruby and Yang being part of major Huntsmen lineages, Weiss being a rich heiress to the most powerful corporation in the world, and Blake being effectively the Princess of the Faunus, as well as having ties to the most prominent civil rights activists and movements in all iterations of the White Fang).

Much like JNPR, they are far more proactive compared to the royals they serve, actively pushing the latter outside their comfort zone in a two-pronged attack alongside JNPR, but the series also strives to highlight and deconstruct the messier aspects of their relationship as huntsmen (and thus a form of warrior caste/mercenary, with the following tension in that relationship with the people they are trying to protect) and how the unpredictable nature of their changes results in as much positive and messier forms of change, for better or worse.

This got way longer than I thought it would.

Just watched RWBY Beyond, and as always loving any new RWBY content we can get no matter how small it is. Good to see the Junior Detectives back in action again after so long and providing some much needed laughs, and then we got to hear more of Jaune's story! Not surprisingly it was a feel trip, especially this part:

Besides the art style being different, this looks like a scene straight out of Volume 3 or earlier, not just because Pyrrha is there (side note: it's so nice to see our Forever Fall again, and this time it's not a hallucination made by someone to hurt Jaune 😅), but also the happiness and carefree vibes of everyone in this moment. For Jaune it's like being back in the good ole days.

Another scene I really love is this:

I'm so happy to see Jaune talking with someone about his struggles, and I'm really glad it's Oscar he decided to talk to. If/when we get a Volume 10 it'd be great to see these two interact more.

The way I screamed. Me when Pyrrha is on screen for 0.2 seconds: *incoherent high pitched noises*

This episode made me so happy for a number of reasons.

1. JNPR content because I adore them (Nora telling everyone Jaune was the Rusted Knight and people believing it's some kind of inside joke because there's no way this guy is an actual fairy tale character right? >>>>>>)

2. Jaune talking to his fellow man out of time, Oscar. (Or, well, Ozcar would perhaps be more appropriate at this point)

And, most importantly

3. Jaune's time (and trauma) in the Ever After being addressed properly, even with the little time they had on their hands. I was SO scared they would just...go back to how he was before, as if nothing had happened, but I'm glad to see they acknowledge the devastating impact all that happened must've had on him. And let's not forget he's like forty now. I had seen people speculating about whether or not he would've lost some of his memories after being reverted to his nineteen/twenty-year-old self, and while I didn't think that would happen, it's nice to see a confirmation that he did, in fact, retain all of his memories.

Bonus: the journaling bit was a welcome surprise. It's therapy time.

While I would've liked some mention of Penny, I'm more than happy with what we got.

Showing Affection

Blake: …and then Yang actually picked me up and carried me through the puddle! 🥰 It was so romantic~!

Yang: *flexes her arm* 😁

Weiss: Ruby actually managed to contact the cake chef my family employed in Atlas and made my favorite when I was having a difficult day. It was the most wonderful thing anyone has ever done for me!

Ruby: *blushing a bit, but proud* 😊

Nora: Oh yeah? Rennie made me a whole stack of heart-shaped pancakes! He didn’t even cut them to shape, he made them look like that in the pan!

Ren: 😌

Blake: Does Jaune do anything romantic for you, Pyrrha?

Pyrrha: The other day at lunch he sorted all the most tightly-curled curly fries out of his order and gave them to me!

Blake/Weiss/Ren: …uh…that’s nice?

Yang/Ruby/Nora: *all crying* 🥹 That’s the most romantic thing we’ve ever heard…! 😭

Thinking about how we now know that Jaune thinks that the only people who understand him, who see him for more than what he is, but what he CAN be, are his team.

Pyrrha, who volunteered to help him learn how to fight when his imposter syndrome is at its worst at Beacon. When everyone else doubted him, she defended him.

Nora and Ren, who know his secrets and still trust his leadership with their own lives - and almost more importantly, each others lives. Who don’t hesitate to follow his directions because they know, even before he believes it himself, that he’s a brilliant strategist and will never endanger them.

Jaune may not see it, but his team has always known he’s a hero.

Nora: the best part about Dating two faunus is the four dicks.

Yang: That's cap. No way both of them got that.

Snake!faunus Ren: ... *Sips tea*

Shark!faunus Jaune: *Blushes, looks away*

Yang: ... Pyrrha. Pyrrha tell me she's lying.

Pyrrha: ... It is not her favorite part of the situation.

Yang: Everytime I talk with the four of you I learn something new.

Yang: And sometimes I'm reminded Ignorance is Bliss.
