I noticed how the lyrics of "Path to isolation" can suit volume 9 Ruby not just Weiss so here's an analysis to show you what I mean

"It starts with the loss of something dear. The warmth that comforted and cradled just disappeared."

The loss of her mother, Penny death, and Yang's falling.

"And in its place there's nothing but an empty endless hole. The light that showed the way is gone and darkness takes control."

Darkness appears to be victorious, and the light is no where in sight as Salem destroys kingdoms left and right.

"Bitterness and anger are quick to fill the void. The path to isolation is littered with the dreams that laid destroyed."

Ruby lashing out at her team. Ruby feeling like she's no hero for failing to save Atlas and Mantle.

"The cold seems to grow in my soul I'm unraveling. Confused, and I'm losing myself in the storm."

Ruby can no longer feel happy and the sadness over her losses are consuming her. She no longer knows how to be herself.

"Growing jaded; being pushed, being pulled, I'm unraveling. Can't find myself when I'm constantly forced to conform!"

She is constantly under stress as a leader going up against impossible situations, and has to put up a false front to keep herself and her team moving forward but its tearing her apart from the inside out.

"Enemies surround me but the worst appear as friends. Liars and pretenders who only seek their ends."

She feels like she cannot rely on her teammates and is bitter towards them for placing such a burden on her. The second line can refer to the Curious Cat who lied to everyone and betrayed them, and tried to Ruby for their own selfish desires.

"Everything is breaking right before my eyes. Looking in the mirror, I see someone I no longer recognize."

Ruby finally gave up, and Ascended. Ruby didn't know what she wanted to become, and struggled for awhile before finding her answer.

"The joy that my heart used to know is eluding me. Removed and the one thing I feel is alone."

Ruby no longer knows how to feel happy, or even make a fake smile. She feels completely separated from her teammates and thinks they are better off without her, because she is a mere shell of the leader they had looked up to.

"Smile's faded, and I'm spinning and sinking, I'm weakening. Frozen in solitude, loneliness chills to be bone."

This focuses on Ruby's gradual mental decline, her being lost, as well as her no longer being able to fight like she used to. This could be a callback to when she froze in fear during the fight against the Jabberwalker. She was disconnected not just from herself, but her teammates during this scene and they didn't notice until it was too late.

"Memories escaping as my heart begins to drain. Scars that cover wounds can't hide the self-inflicted pain."

This refers to Ruby being attacked by Neo's illusions of the fallen, and them acting completely out of character and tormenting her. This results in Ruby finally giving up and Ascending.

"Everything my mind wants in conflict with my heart. Fighting back, surrender. But every day I'm falling more apart."

Ruby wants to be a hero but her heart wants to be happy, and she's realizing the hard way she cannot have both and possibly not even one. She's cracking under the pressure of her failures, and doesn't know if she even wants to keep trying anymore.

"Mirror, what's this thing I see? What is staring back at me? A stranger to my heart has filled my mind. Mirror, help me, who am I?"

Ruby no longer knows who she is, or what she wants to be. She desperately needs help and the Blacksmith does what she can, but Ruby cannot make up her mind while looking at the possibilities the Blacksmith presented her. Eventually, she decides to be who she has been along, because it is the only answer that sounds right. She may not be perfect, but being herself is what matters most, and the Blacksmith helped her remember that self-importance she had forgotten.

I was showering and listening to RWBY songs, and the line "Can't find myself when I'm constantly forced to conform" hit me like "Fuck, Weiss definitely wrote this before coming out as trans". Can you write something about that? Maybe with her and Team RWBY? (Since Ruby definitely was a fan of Weiss' songs in v1Ch1)

(You mean canon, right? But seriously, nothing about Weiss says cishet, especially with the songs)

Weiss sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror, feeling her chin to make sure she didnt have any stubble from shaving. She paused for a moment, her hand slowly lowering a bit to cover her adam's apple. No matter how hard she tried, she always felt like she wasnt presenting herself right. She could imagine what her father would say now, not like she had to imagine hard. He made sure she exactly how he felt. Especially after a few of the songs she sang.

A knock on the bathroom door snapped her back to reality. “Yes?” She quickly started finishing getting dressed as she answered.

Yang’s voice could be heard from the other side. “You finished getting ready yet? You’ve been in there for almost an hour.”

“Y-yeah, I’m almost ready.” Weiss looked herself over after getting her skirt and blouse on, flattening out the skirt and making sure no unsightly bulges could be seen. Her eyes lingered on her chest as quickly adjusted her padded bra, trying to make sure that everything looked natural. A small smile formed from her lips as she looked at herself in the mirror, grabbing her makeup and making her way to the desk.

Yang rushed past her as the door opened so she could take a shower. “About time you finish up. What takes you so long to get dressed?”

“It takes time to look this good.”

Yang rolled her eyes and shut the door.

Weiss sat down for a moment, looking at the makeup in her hands before adjusting the mirror on her desk. She was still nervous to come out to her team, not quite sure how they’d accept her. She knew she didnt have much to fear since Ruby was open about herself being nonbinary, but her own situation was different. Ruby hadnt been in the public eye for years and coming to Beacon just to present as she pleased would be easier. But for Weiss, she shuddered at the thought of people finding out. Her father and mother didnt exactly approve of her, Winter hadnt spoken to her for the last couple years after coming out… even Whitley seemed to give her weird looks anytime she wore a dress or skirt around the house. But here at Beacon, she could finally be herself and hide who she used to be. And it’s not like she changed her name much, just adding an extra “s” at the end to make it look more feminine. She could play that off easily enough by saying it was just rumors the Schnee heir was a boy.

Ruby finished adjusting her binder, looking over her reflection smiling. “Ready for our big day today?”

Weiss paused for a moment as she was brought out of her thoughts. “Big day?”

“Today is our first training mission! Which… I totally signed us up for early and not at the last minute.”

Blake rolled her eyes a bit. “In other words, you forgot until yesterday, didnt you?”

Ruby sighed as she finished getting her shirt and cloak on. “...yes…”

Weiss shook her head as she listened to her partner. “And then you wonder why I call you a dolt.”

“Its not my fault… well… not entirely… I got a bit sidetracked.”

“Dont what?”

Ruby blushed a bit as she started stammering. “O-oh, well… know… just listening to music.” She quickly rushed to her bed and hid the albums under her pillow.

“Ruby, we all know your obsession with that song!” Yang yelled from the shower.

“Its not an obsession… it just… speaks to me.”

Weiss looked at her curiously. “Which song?”

“Path to Isolation.”

Weiss hesitated as she heard the name of the song she used to sing all those years ago. “O-oh? That one?”

Ruby nodded, finishing packing her bags. “I swear the song was written for me. You can just hear the frustration in the way he sings it, knowing he has to conform to how the world wants him to be and being powerless to find himself. The worries and the fears he had… its… all the same things I went through.” She paused for a moment before continuing. “Although, I’m sure I’m just digging a bit deeper into the meaning of the song than what was intended to be a cry of someone who is unable to find themself.”

Weiss wiped away a tear from her eye while trying to finish her makeup. This was the first time that she’d heard just how much a song that was personal to her meant to someone else, someone who had the same fears she did. “I… I think you’re getting exactly what that song is about.”

Ruby hoisted her bag over her shoulder and smiled. “Yang, I’ll try to get you some breakfast!”

Weiss finished her makeup and grabbed her own bag. “I’ll come with so we can save her a spot too.”

“Alright.”

Weiss smiled a bit as she started walking with Ruby to the cafeteria, feeling a little more relaxed. Tonight, she thought to herself. Tonight I’ll tell them the truth.

I gonna break in this acocunt with me being angry about something that doesn't really matter (very fitting for tumblr if you ask me), this article.

First: "And I’m sorry to open with this, but part of that is due to the age difference between them. Two years is hardly worlds apart (I’m personally working with four), but a 12-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl are. Especially the way these two are drawn. Not to be too voyeuristic about Y7 cartoons, but Katara has clearly gone through puberty, while Aang hasn’t. There is something just…off, about a sixth grade boy having a full on make-out sesh with a high school girl."

This argument is one of the most stupid ones if you ask me, because it blatantly ignores the culture we have been presented by the show. I can understand why people find this weird, but we have to try not to look at it as if its our society, because its not. In A:tla, specifically the water tribes, 16 is marrying age. Right there, our "age norms" (idk what else to call it) are very different. And there are no divisions between ages in their world like we have with middle and high school. To me, two people are fit to be together based on their maturity, not their age. That's why 45 & 40 is not the same as 15 & 10, or 20 & 15. This is the same for Kataang. They have very similar life experiences and matured together, literally side by side, so a two year ago gap is irrelevant.

Second: "...Katara took on a very maternal role with Aang. Sure, she’s a caretaker and sort of a “mom friend,” but it’s a bit more than that. She served as his literal guardian during the show’s run—there’s just no other way to look at it. By the third episode, she called herself his “family,” and later even went on to role play as his mother to get him out of trouble at school. Aang, meanwhile, was… Well, I wouldn’t say “immature” for his age, […] However, Katara is 14 going on 25, while Aang is just, Aang."

There's a compilation of Katara doing thing with Aang that if someone saw a mother doing with her son they would call it incest:

Katara definitely acts motherly towards Aang, but that is just her nature. She is more than just motherly with him. And some people like to call the check kisses familial (which is kinda weird imo), but we know Katara herself doesnt think that:

"Easy there, big brother" She pushes Sokka away. Not to mention, this was about a scene or two before she kisses Aang on the check.

Calling someone close to you your family does not mean you see them in the same way you see your parents/siblings. And Sokka played Aang's father in that scene, but we aren't sitting here using that as evidence to call him Aang's paternal figure.

Something Aang haters forget (or chose to ignore) is that being lighthearted and goofy does not equal immature. Yes, Aang does some juvenile things, but that shouldn't take away from his growth and maturity.

Third: "In fact, in the last season, Katara was shown to be uncomfortable each time Aang kisses her, and even went as far as to tell him to back off with the romantic stuff in the episode before the finale, because she was confused about how she felt. [*new paragraph*] Yet, in the end, she just trots up and blushes at Aang, than happily makes out with him when he goes for it,"

Katara initiated 2/4 of the kataang kisses (not including the check kisses). The kiss in The Cave of Two Lovers and the kiss in the finale. Yes, she's the one that "goes for it" in the finale (she also initiates the hug). She only pulls away once out of the 3 times we see a kiss end (this would be excluding the kiss in The Cave of Two Lovers). She wasn't confused about her feelings, she didn't want to have to worry about a relationship when they were nearing the end of the war.

Fourth: "The post-canon comics only furthered the lack of exploration of her feelings in this relationship"

Fifth: "[referencing a scene in The Promise in which Katara is jealous of a fanclub being around Aang] "I'm sorry, this amazing, adult communication is blowing me away"

The are both still teenagers, who have zero previous relationship experience. Also, Aang had no ill intentions and Katara recognized it.

Sixth: [refencing Katara's role in The Legend of Korra] "Did Katara want to do anything other than sit in a healing hut and be known for having Aang's kids?"

This is another argument that just pisses me off. You can not use Katara's lifestyle in her 80s (she is 85 in s1) as judgement for her adulthood. It's purely assumption based. Constantly this author assumes that because she is in a relationship with Aang, Katara would drop her whole personality. What? Katara would not and could not be forced to do something or conform to some label and Aang wouldn't let it get to that point either. He would squash any idea that she is just "The Avatar's wife" or "The mother of the Avatar's children" the minute he heard it.

Seven: [comparing Katara's reaction to Aang The Desert to Aang's reaction to Katara in The Southern Raiders] "You'll spend a long time looking for her condescending tones. "Anger won't help, Aang," Katara never said, because she got that he was processing something painful and needed to sort it out himself. This difference in behavior is something that would be really fitting for a twelve year old boy to learn and understand. There's just no indication that he ever did."

Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but I don't remember Aang being condescending towards Katara. He was offering his advice because he knew her and knew that she would regret doing what she thought was right when her judgement was clouded by anger. And guess what. He was right. He never forced anything on her, either. Sure, he was a bit more pushy than he could've been, but in the end he let her go on the trip with no complaints. He even agreed that this was something she had to do.

Eighth: [referencing The Ember Island Players] "When the actor says 'Wait! I thought you were the Avatar's girl', Aang agrees. Katara is his."

You know damn well Aang doesn't see Katara as just his. And she's give him PLENTY of reason to believe that his feelings are reciprocated (which they are).

Ninth: "It's the story of a woman who swallows everything lest the man she's interested in has to learn anything about his behavior that violates her boundaries."

Ha! You said she was interested in him.

But in all seriousness, you mentioned how Katara stood her ground and told Aang that she was confused, but apparently now she's swallowing her feeings.

Tenth: [talks about the cloud babies daddy issues]

I don't disagree with what is said here, for the most part, but I don't think it is a reflection on Aang and Katara's relationship.

Eleventh: "... given what what we got with Kataang, it's completely unsurprising that Aang and Katara's parenthood/adult life was defined by a lack of communication and availability, at least from what we can tell. This also puts Katara's choice to immediately moved to the South Pole once Aang died in perspective; perhaps the city he poured all his energy into, at the cost of his family, held some bitter memories."

Once again with the lack communication. We can't use the early years of their relationship to determine their whole relationship. Also, there wasn't consistently a lack of communication, you just pointed out one time and ran with it.

We don't know at what point Katara moved back to the South Pole, but there are plenty of reasons for Katara to leave Air Temple Island:

a) Her son moving in/or planning to move in with his family.

b) She was no longer needed in the city and thus had no need to stay.

c) She wanted to go back to her native home for comfort after the love of her life died at a relatively early age.

d) The next Avatar was discovered and she came home to train them.

That's all. Thank you for reading my unnecessary rant if you made it this far, and I just want to close out with a few things:

- There were some things in the article that I did not include for the fear of this becoming a novel of me repeating myself.

- I agree with most thing said in the final segment of the the article. Most, not all.

- I appreciate the author for not trying to shove Zutara in just because Kataang wasn't there. That is becoming increasingly uncommon, so it was nice to see.
