WOW

I did not expect them to actually address May being trans in the show. I love the metaphor though, she became a new person when she left in more ways than one.

Ok normally I wouldn’t do this but I’ve seen three infuriating posts in a row and lost my ability to shut up and mind my own business. Let’s talk about Winter Schnee.

I love her. She’s a complicated person with a nasty habit of ignoring her messy feelings and pretending it’s all about duty. I feel that. BUT. Can we please stop pretending that “You’re not serious” “I outrank you” spat she had with Harriet was cool or hot or Brothers forbid empowering???? Pretty please???? 

And I mean, it’s not even just about it being a rich white woman talking down to a woc. Sure that’s very much what it is, but beside that, just narratively? That scene is meant to be the final and ultimate representation of how the Ace Ops are not a team, their power dynamics are all wrong, they’re all more or less bitter at each other/at Ironwood/at Atlas in general and refuse to be adults and face the music. This scene is about the difference between fighting alongside the ones you love and doing a job because you’re told it’s the right call. It’s about cracks between the Ace Ops which have been there for a long time and are now about to make the whole squad crash and burn. It’s about the Atlas military and how it trains its operatives either to obey mindlessly or to enforce tyrannical authority, in both cases diminishing the humanity of everyone involved. 

I agree that Winter Schnee is hot. She is cool, collected, and confident. She is attractive. She is interesting. But she has issues and flaws and faults and that is what this scene is about.

I gotta say, even though it’s what I always wanted now that it’s finally happened there is a part of me oddly sad to see the death of the Cinder/Emerald/Mercury dynamic. It’s just been such a constant of the show for so long! And now it’s gone, and it’s for the best for everyone involved (especially for Emerald), but even so

pour one out for the worst internship in history

#rwby #rwby spoilers #emerald sustrai #cinder fall #mercury black #rip trash squad 2x01—8x09 #more like 8x07 really but now it's official #emerald finally has the family she always wanted #and mercury is stuck on a road trip with a serial killer #and cinder has nothing

[emeraldsredemptionarc]

also like... emerald went to MERCURY first. she’s devoted to cinder, but when she had suspicions about salem’s plans and worries for the future, she went straight to mercury to tell him first, not cinder.

she’s gonna get out of this whale and out from under cinder’s thumb, isn’t she?

#I still have worries about the coming episodes in case things go wrong #but the redemption arc is so close I can FEEL it there #emerald sustrai #mercury black #rwby spoilers #rwby 8 spoilers #rwby 8x07 spoilers #she might still tell cinder in the future but the point remains that she went to Mercury FIRST #and from the look mercury gave her and how much he clearly hates Tyrian I think mercury is gonna join her in the future #I think it’s actually gonna happen and they’re gonna leave the villains side #(not at the same time but they both will imo) #I need emerald to steal the lamp and find out the truth then rescue Oscar #WAIT THE RESCUE SQUAD COMING IN TO RESCUE OSCAR BUT THEY SEE HIM WITH EMERALD #OH NO I DO NOT SEE THAT ENDING WELL BUT I WANT IT TO END WELL #please let it be okay I hope they let emerald escape with them #jesus Christ this volume has played HAVOC on my emotions #okay I just saw someone say that cinder might have already left the whale and okay yeah that sounds plausible #but STILL let me HAVE THIS please

...I really really don't get why people are worried about Penny "replacing" Oscar as JNR's teammate.

JNR took three volumes to mourn Pyrrha and gradually accept Oscar as a member of their team, we heard from Oscar in 8x02 how important it was to him that he felt like he was finally part of the team, how much Jaune was worrying about Oscar when he's been missing, insisting the team isn't the same without him, and Ren had a whole speech in 8x07 about how you can't just replace one of your team members to the Ace Ops and how much they all care about Oscar. None of that exactly says to me "they're going to have Penny as their new member so they can be JNPR again" (guys there's a reason they didn't call themselves that even when Oscar was on their team when his surname starts with a "P")

Penny's shown within the group (RWBY+JNR) because she's the one who needs to know that she's surrounded by the support and help of her friends right now because, y'know, she's trying to fight against a freaking virus as well as getting used to her new role and the weight of being the Winter Maiden. Oscar is standing apart from the group because he's currently acting as a bridge between them and Emerald, who is still new, and even though she's with their group now doesn't yet feel as if she's a part of it, which is why at the moment she's positioned herself the furthest away.

Plus if this volume has proven anything is that we're at the point where we can mix and match different teams out of the whole group more moving forward. So it's kind of redundant to get your panties in a twist over whose on whose team anyhow. And this episode cements Penny and Emerald as part of the main group, not to mention with Nora saying to Ren she needs more time apart from him to figure out who she is means it's likely we'll see Nora have different team ups in the future anyway.

So like. I think we're fine, guys.

RWBY 8x07: Back to Madness

Welcome back everybody! In case you forgot, here’s what happened last time on RWBY: Ren calls the Ace-Ops out on gasp having emotions, Oscar makes a play to swing Hazel, Penny crashes (get it? Cuz she’s a computer), and Joe sniffles into the microphone a bunch. Sorry about that last part.

RWBY Volume 8 - Chapter 7: War

Thoughts & Theories

1. Salem framed trying to bring Ozma back as a wrong that needed to be righted. It wasn’t. It was just selfishness. Now, she does the same thing with all of her followers. Hazel’s vengeance for Gretchen, Neo’s for Roman, Mercury mad at the world for the loss of his semblance, Watts’s vendetta against Ironwood, Cinder’s quest for power. The only exception is Emerald. unsurprising that she seems to be the one with the most doubts.

2. I LOVE the way Ren’s new powers are being visualized. I’m super curious though why Winter’s petals are a huge variety of colors? Does it represent conflicting emotions?

It also explains the flower petal he tries to catch in the opening. I can’t wait for him to use his semblance to connect with her feelings.

3. Ren out here saying what we’ve all been thinking. I want Marrow to connect with Harriet, and Elm with Vine. I want them to accept that being close to one another isn’t a weekness.

4. I haven’t seen this many death flags since Pyrrha. Winter really is gonna suicide bomb the whale huh?

5. Ooooh! So Harriet lost her old partner? That explains why she fears getting attached. Also haha Tortuga means tortoise in Spanish.

6. I don’t think Hazel will turn, but Emerald? She has the password, time for Aladdin to use her magic lamp. Will she try to turn Cinder though? How will Cinder react? I’m hoping she turns on Salem but tries to seek power on her own.

7. I love that May is blunt and honest without being an active dick like the Ace-Ops. She’s right. Not every story has a happy ending, not every problem has a solution that solves everything, people ae going to die. It’s important for the girls to hear this, and they look devastated about it. Look at Blake’s ears!

8. Oh Nora you are good for so much! I can’t wait for her and Ren to reunite. He needs to see her feelings and tell her how much she’s worth.

She needs to know she isn’t replaceable.

9. Klein returns! Whitely is a soft boy after all!

10. The boys are on a road trip to Vacuo huh? I wonder if this will lead into a Vacuo arc in the show, or be addressed in another book?

11. When was he last time these two were apart for an extended period?? The way they look at each other... I gotta admit, I ship it.

12. Of course Tyrion knows the truth. Should have guessed.

13. I really like the consistency of Jaune stepping up and being the man with the plan. He really has become an excellent leader.

14. Blake being worried about the others is sweet but they are not ok! Honey, your girlfriend is about to charge into Salem’s home base!

15. I just really love this moment. As a transwoman I totally understand how transition can feel like becoming a whole new person. And I love how it was mirrored with her leaving Atlas for Mantle. She found her true identity and her true home. The son of Atlas became the daughter of Mantle.

16. Yeah were the hell are Qrow, Robyn and Watts during all this? I can’t believe we have to wait six weeks for the prison break.

17. What are you sorry for honey you did great! Unless she knows Watts has control... and she’s about to do something horrible she doesn’t want to...

Because we were all thinking of it: I overlaid the track Minas Morgul from the ROTK soundtrack over the last scene of RWBY 8x07, and...yeah, it works.
