Have you done a ship of the Malachite Twins and Weiss? I’d call it, or any of the Schnees with the Twins, Candy Cane.

Just the Way You Are

This volume of RWBY isn't one that I've felt like writing a ton about. It's existed as a bit of background noise to my weekends, a must watch but in passing. It was a wonderful journey, but not as impactful as I thought it should be to me. It hit all the right marks. Well-written, well-animated, great music. It wasn't until the finale, where I was reminded, again, of why I loved this show in the first place.

I've been seeing an outpouring of love for V9 that seemed to spur a re-examination of it as a series, in both what RWBY means to fans and what Ruby means to the audience. This whole volume she's been a proxy facing the show's vocally decried imperfections: for what the could have beens and should have beens keep saying. In Ruby's own personal doubt, we see the seeds of the show's very own history of grappling with fan expectations, critical analysis, commercial success, and the complicated legacy of the tragic passing of the show's creator.

But CRWBY's love for this volume is so evident it seemed to drown out any bad faith arguments: this is RWBY as it was always meant to be.

In finishing this volume, I see once more that fiction can help us suture the parts of us that seep. That its creators are people we may never know but whose ideas we stitch into the membranes of our core. RWBY doesn't have to be a masterpiece emerging fully formed from the minds of its writers and animators. It is a vision expanded upon, a messy beginning built up, a work of surfeit love, flawed and lovely in the mess.

As a perfectionist I tend to chase that critical clout, to draw from external sources the meaning of my own art, to wonder if the interpretations are good enough, if the writing and characters are done with enough mastery that I can succeed in other's eyes. But RWBY will never be a success to some, and in that we see that even the most collectively beloved things are criticized by their detractors. We will never create a bulletproof thing.

Life is exposure. Love is vulnerability and art in service to that love - of self, of others, of vision - exacts the same toll of knowing. Even against the diatribes on Youtube that have stated otherwise, RWBY's heart is worn on its sleeve. It is a show fully sure of its sincerity. This volume seems meant to present that to us and to Ruby, as a character. She has always been the heart of the show. Pursuant of hope in the face of insurmountable odds, always picking up the pieces of others, always with the weight of the world on her shoulders. But, at her core, she has always been a simple, more honest soul.

RWBY and Ruby have faced failure after perceived failure. Ruby always tried hard but never quite got it and now, in the sea of her doubt and the under the current of others' expectations, she sees herself as less than. As incapable of serving the people she loves most. Ruby's fear of failure does not come from her need to be beloved, it doesn't come from a selfish interest in public opinion, but rather from a stalwart need to do what she believes in.

RWBY has long been the scruffy underdog of the animation world, an easy little show to poke fun at. This isn't to say that critiquing is inherently bad faith, or that there's no place for it. There is, and there always will be things that irk or bother us to some degree with every piece of media we consume. But, much like the people we love in our lives, those imperfections are part of them, and we can either take them as is and have faith enough that they'll grow just as we do, that their center is good and worth it, or we can simply let them go.

Choose for yourself one who can leave your burdens behind, or chose one who can be enough to bare them.

There's something to be said about the moral simplicity of a show like RWBY, in which things don't always work out, but in which the characters have enough faith in themselves, and the world, to still seek to save it. This is a fairytale, but it is one that hopes to impart on reality a little bit of that kindness.

It is wholly intentional that RWBY is thus stylized as a children's fairytale. It lacks the tonal shift of grit and anger that adulthood seems to impart on innocence, and posits that: no, you don't need to be anything else, even if others decry that self as naive or emotional or exposed. There is a beauty to RWBY's vulnerability and it's always been there, baked into the show itself.

V9 feels like a love letter to RWBY as a whole. It has always been a show set on positivity, on pursing that goodness at all costs. RWBY does not partake in the labor of being something else more gritty or mature or indifferent. It is what it's always been.

A simple, more honest show.

someone uploaded a new Hoffmann production on VK and I decided it might be time for me to watch my 50th production and as I'm doing so realizing it's been like 2 years since I've sat at a kitchen table eating dinner while watching an opera on my laptop? I could never really do that when I was living with someone else.

anyway the prod so far is questionable--too soon to really tell--but this image of Nicklausse is enough to keep me going

#that's Lindorf's hat they stole it hahahahahaaa #also they were singing andres' part for some reason which idk #it's interesting that Nicklausse is the one who has the letter from Stella #doesn't make too much sense but I'm curious where they're going to go with it #also they didn't want to give it to Lindorf #but he threatened them with his cane which was also a gun #(insert RWBY meme here) #anyway #let's see where this goes #les contes d'hoffmann #opera #opera tag

Just thinking about...

Oscar Pine didn't have Long Memory when he fought against Oz's control and revealed his secrets.

But he did have the cane in Argus when he basically submitted to the merge.

Oscar didn't have the cane when he won over Hazel by telling him how to use the Lantern.

But he did have it when lied about Oz taking the brunt of the torture.

HMMMM...

Hi, I watch it on CR, here to tell you that they do not in fact have any hotline numbers for suicide. Or anything else for that matter.

You’re absolutely right about that vague as fuck warning not helping anything. As someone who’s experienced a lot of physical abuse and assault, it was a disturbing episode, to put it lightly. I’m fine with anime characters taking a beating, but something about Ozpin whacking Ruby with his crane until the only thing she could was lie on ground, sob, and consider killing herself… invoke some not so fun memories 🙃

I'm going to release hornets in their office

#anon #unofficial adam answers #rwde #rwby spoilers #that ozpin scene was absolutely uncomfortable #obv the point from an in-universe perspective - neo is fucking with ruby #but for us. watching an authority figure beat a child with a cane...yikes. #sending you virtual hugs anon

So what happens next in Blind!Weiss Redux? Besides people getting on Weiss's nerves, obviously?

“And I told you that I dont need your help!” Weiss shut the door to the bathroom and let out a heavy sigh as she used her white cane to keep from tripping over anything. For two weeks she had been living in the dorms with her team, and for those two weeks, they had done nothing but bend over backwards to help her and kept getting in the way. It was one thing when she needed help to get around the Academy for the first few days, still unused to how everything was set up, but now it was almost like second nature to her. She knew all the cracks in the pavement, every spot where the carpet in the halls seemed to bunch up, the fact that the hallway leading to Goodwitch’s class was narrower than the hallway leading to Port’s… everything she learned on her own while being guided. And yet…

“I know you’ll be fine but we’re teammates,” Ruby said through the bathroom door. “And as your team leader, its my job to make sure that we’re all taken care of-” 

“And I can handle this on my own!” Weiss threw the door open and jabbed Ruby in the chest with her cane. “And if you want to make sure we’re all taken care of, then you need to know that I can take care of myself. I spent my whole life with people treating me like I cant walk down a hallway or go to the bathroom myself, I dont need you to do the same!” 

Ruby hesitated and pulled back a bit. “I… sorry, I uh… I didnt know-” 

“Now you do.” Weiss closed the bathroom door and sighed. “If I need help, I’ll ask for it. Until then, let me handle this myself.” 

“Then you wont mind if we help you around Vale later today, will you?” Yang asked from her bed. “You know, to check out the competition for the tournament as they come around.” 

“Oh, I’d love to see who we’ll potentially be fighting.” Sarcasm dripped from Weiss’ words as she spoke. “But unless I decide to ask what they’re using and what their semblances are-” 

“While you might not be able to see them yourself, you are the one who can push her aura out to get a feel for what things look like,” Blake pointed out. “So even if you cant exactly see what they look like, you can at least learn a bit from what you can get.” 

*Dont remind me,* Weiss thought to herself as she pulled her hair back. Her mind drifted back to when she first saw Blake with her aura and saw the ears herself. Of course, she had decided it was best to keep quiet about it for now until she could figure out what she was really up to. Afterall, every faunus joins the White Fang at some point, or at least that’s what her father had told her. “I said I’d go, but I dont care enough to find out who our competition is yet.” 

“And why not? Figured you of all people would.” 

“Because the best way to prepare is to train, not worry about what someone has.” Weiss tightened the hair tie she had in her hair and made her way back to the rest of her team. “While I may not be perfect yet, I still think its a waste of time to prance around Vale.” 

“Even if it means you can get away from the school for a bit?” 

Weiss sighed and shook her head. “Fine. But only for a few hours.” 

Yang pulled Weiss close and grinned. “Dont worry, you’ll enjoy yourself.” 

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weiss slowly started to trail behind her team, her white cane tapped around the pavement in front of her to help her find every crack, every step… and to make sure she didnt stay too close to anyone else. Her aura pulsed to see everyone near her, her gaze stayed on Blake and ears she hid. 

“What do you think, Weiss?” Ruby asked. 

Weiss paused for a moment. “W-what was the question?” 

“What do you think’s going on with the White Fang?” 

“What prompted that?” 

“That.” Yang pointed to a dust shop with broken windows and police tape. She paused and cleared her throat. “A uh… dust shop was hit by the White Fang… again.” 

Weiss sighed and found herself focused on Blake once again. “Maybe they’re just showing their true colors as faunus.” 

“And what’s that supposed to mean,” Blake asked. 

“Faunus only know how to steal, hide, take from the shadows… as far as I care, they can all be arrested for the trouble they cause.” 

“They’re just misguided.” 

“Misguided?” Weiss made her way to Blake and jabbed her chest with her finger. “You’re one to talk with the way you’ve been hiding yourself!” 

Blake took a step back. “I… I dont know what you’re talking about-” 

“I know you’re a faunus.”

Blake pulled away and took a small breath. “Fine, yes, I’m a faunus.” 

“And just like all faunus, you’re part of the White Fang-” 

“Not all of us are part of the White Fang! And even for those of us who are, maybe we’re all just tired of being pushed around by people like you!” 

Weiss glared at Blake and created a glyph to make herself rise. “All anyone like you ever does is kill, steal, cheat-” 

“All I’ve ever wanted to do was survive and live!” Blake pinched the bridge of her nose and took a breath as she turned to walk away. “You know what, if this is how you’re going to be, then maybe I dont need to be around.” 

“Then maybe that’s for the best-” 

“Weiss, that’s enough.” 

Weiss winced as she felt Yang grip her shoulder and pull her back a bit. “Let me go so I can-” 

“Not until you can calm down and talk to Blake.” 

“But she’s a faunus and-” Weiss paused for a moment as she pressed her aura out. “Where’s Ruby?” 

“She went after Blake to talk to her.” Yang pulled Weiss to a bench and pushed her down to sit. “Why does it matter if Blake is a faunus? If she says she’s not part of the White Fang, then why keep trying to push it?” 

“Because the White Fang is the reason I’m blind!” Weiss wiped back a couple tears she didnt notice until they rolled down her cheek. “So maybe I want to make sure anyone who’s part of them pays.” 

“Even if that means hurting a friend?” 

“Blake isnt a friend!” 

“Though, she is a teammate. So you’re going to calm down, and then once we’re back at the dorm, you’re going to apologize to her.” 

“And what makes you think I’m going to do that?” 

“Because you dont have a choice.” 

“And if I walk away?” 

Yang smirked and grabbed Weiss’s cane. “Can you really make it far without this?” 

Weiss sighed and took hold of Yang’s shirt. “Fine.”
