I don’t really have any other words about this death other than the fact that it was just...fucking cruel? Like, it’s not to say that the other deaths and traumatic events in this show haven’t been awful and had implications behind them, but this one just felt so unnecessarily cruel and sickening.

We spent entire VOLUMES with Penny for her to get development and affirmation that she’s real and has a heart and soul despite anything that would suggest otherwise and it was thrown away for a shock value death that most likely will serve the purpose of traumatizing a character who’s already had so much screentime and development, ESPECIALLY with regard to loss.

Her death COMPLETELY negates the message they were hinting at only episodes earlier, wherein the team wouldn’t sacrifice her because they valued her as an individual and refused to treat her as disposable like Ironwood or Atlas has, and isn’t that the message of the entire fucking volume? That it’s worth taking a risk because every life is valuable and every life has meaning?

And I don’t care if her death was something she chose to inflict upon herself or not. It doesn't change the VERY deliberate writing decision they made to kill her like this.

Am I biased because I love Penny as a character? I’m sure I am, considering that her return was one of the reasons I caught up with the show again, but it’s not even just about that. I’m failing to see how this death is going to be meaningful in literally any capacity knowing how the writing is.

It just felt cruel, and no amount of Penny waxing poetic about taking her own life into her own hands is going to change the fact that it’s cruel, ESPECIALLY considering how they also went out of their way to write a song from Penny’s perspective for the end credits about her "heroic sacrifice.” It’s cruel, dissatisfying, and it’s moments like this that I despise the most because it feels like shock value takes priority over the show’s heart.

I've been watching this show since 2013, but I don’t know if I can stomach being disappointed again.

Anger about the implications of the song and Penny’s death itself aside, what really, truly upsets me about "Friend” is just how...happy it is?

Not to say that it’s out of character, but when you consider the context of it all, it’s heartbreaking. The song says that Ruby literally made Penny feel alive and instead of being upset about her own death and all the hopes and dreams she could have had, she just says that it was worth living if it meant she got to meet Ruby.

And it’s even MORE upsetting because one of the recurring themes is about making wishes, and the idea that even if Penny’s initial wish was to be a real girl, it morphed into wishing to be around people who would view her that way despite her circumstances, and I-

#anyways I'd like to say that I didn't almost burst into tears listening to this song again while making dinner but #then I would be lying #RWBY #RWBY8 #RWBY8 spoilers #Penny Polendina #Ruby Rose #Nuts and Dolts #scroll.txt #react.txt

I need you all to remember that Weiss literally had a FUCKING bomb dropped on her this episode when Ironwood said that he ordered Winter to take the maiden’s powers.

The last time that happened in the show, Pyrrha died. You can’t expect Weiss to just ignore the fact that her sister is essentially being sentenced to death by Ironwood.

Winter is one of the closest people in Weiss’s life. It’s completely realistic for her to be distraught and act removed from the situation after hearing that Winter is going to be put in an incredibly dangerous and potentially fatal situation.

So her not comforting Ruby isn’t an unrealistic reaction when she’s experiencing her own trauma at the same time!

I am once again asking for FNDM not to take this joke that seriously because it’s not that deep but if there’s any time to make a companion piece to this, I guess it’s now.

Underrated comedic moment in this episode

Oscar casually popping food into his mouth while he watches shit hit the fan with Whitley and Weiss.

Can we talk about how Qrow and Jaune both lost someone they loved and now carry a piece of that person with them everywhere...

Okay sorry, rewatching that clip really put it into perspective for me.

This whole time we’ve known that Ruby’s dream has been to become a Huntress. Now that she is one, she’s expected to conduct herself like a professional, but what does she do when she watches Penny get flung across the city?

She immediately stops what she’s doing to check on her. She’s not thinking about what a Huntress would do in that moment, she’s thinking about whether or not she lost Penny again.

And don’t get me wrong, I think she’d be willing to do this for a lot of people, too. It’s in Ruby’s nature to be a caring person, but it hits hard with Penny because Ruby literally watched her die.

I also think it’s interesting that we saw this happen when Harriet talked about how the Ace Ops don’t consider each other friends, only colleagues, and she was the one with them when it happened.
