#rwby v 7 spoilers

[itsclydebitches]

there was also a clip of chapter one released, idk if you saw it when watching the teaser, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCZTf1JNrsk

the mouse is cute, at least? not entirely sure what to think of the rest at this point, though. some people have been saying that lindsay's voice lost its high pitch for ruby because of her emotional struggle but i just don't think CRWBY put anywhere near that kind of thought into it. i could be wrong, though!

I hadn't found it before you sent your ask, anon, so thanks for that!

Yeah, Little is indeed cute and, as said, I'm a sucker for an adorable animal companion. Do we know if that's Luci Christian? Because I immediately went, "Oh, Little sounds a lot like Honey from Ouran."

Beyond Little's cuteness though I'm... kinda underwhelmed by the teaser. I mean same, anon, I'm in a "not entirely sure what to think of the rest at this point" stage, but it is notable that it hasn't gotten me real excited either. Honestly, I think I'd be hyped for this whole Wonderland concept if it were coming off of a different, earlier Volume. There's nothing inherently wrong with having a cute moment with a talking mouse, but after everything in Volume 7 and 8 - the betrayal, the deaths, losing an entire Kingdom, the Relics, failing this spectacularly that they've wound up "dead," etc. - I just feel like we're not appropriately grappling with all that. And of course this comes with all the normal disclaimers: we don't know how this will read in context, the whole Volume can't be doom and gloom, they might have isolated a rare moment of levity to avoid plot spoilers... all of which is potentially true, but at the same time I'm watching Ruby cry for only a hot second, coming off of the comedy of Little watching her, moving into the comedy of a talking mouse, and I'm going... really? After everything that's happened, tossed into a totally foreign world, separated from her team, not knowing if the others made it out alive, trapped in a freaky magic forest that keeps her going in circles... this is the most emotion we get?

Again it might get better, but I can't help but worry that if this is what Ruby is like at the start of the journey while isolated and fresh off the trauma of Everything™, her emotional expression is unlikely to increase as things start improving: making new friends, finding the team, settling on a mission, etc. Not unless they pull a Steven Universe and only have Ruby truly break when she realizes she's safe...

But I'm thinking about how someone pointed out that Ruby angrily closing the chest actually sports a very Neo expression. How someone else theorized that her shocked, vacant look might just be at seeing Little's village. How for years now RWBY has tried to be the grittier drama AND the lighthearted action show, with the latter inevitably undercutting the former, again and again. How we still haven't worked through sooooo much shit from previous Volumes and the more the plot keeps piling things on the more we're inevitably going to just leave behind, unacknowledged. Now here we are, the characters coming right out of the single worse loss they've ever been dealt and... we're gonna put the focus on a nonsense Wonderland with super cute mice.

I like Ruby's interaction with Little, I'm just not sure I'm going to like it coming right off of Volume 8. RT has continually ramped up both the horror and the consequences of their story, yet I don't think they're going to stick the follow-through this time, especially considering they didn't coming into those Volumes either.

There are details I really like here, such as the fairy tale-esque favor for a favor (she gets Little the cheese plant, Little helps her find other humans), the continuity (yes!!) of Ruby only knowing that Yang and Blake fell, the rockinghorse fly, Little's cutsey movements accompanied by the squeaky sound effects... there's a lot of good stuff here that just, sadly, might not have been put in RWBY at the right time. We'll have to see though.

I'm still on the fence about the animation as a whole though. Things look more like an iffy video game to me. where the group isn't really fitting in with the backgrounds (which could potentially be a cool choice if I thought RT was doing it on purpose: the foreign characters are animated differently to highlight the fact that they literally don't belong in this world). This feeling increased like whoa when Ruby first walks out into the clearing, the dodo bird screams, and she... doesn't react? At all? Doesn't even look its way? I'm like, there's a giant, fantasy bird screaming at the top of its lungs right next to you, some short time after you fought a deadly battle that threw you here, and you're just gazing calmly up at the tree? In both the trailer and the teaser it doesn't feel like Team RWBY is fully interacting with the world around them, more like characters who were photoshoped out of one story and plopped into the background of another. Cool crossover! But it's clear these two things don't fully mesh.

Also, final random note: is it weird that Ruby has such an extreme reaction to Little talking when she hails from a world where her dog is capable of powering up and taking out the equivalent of a fantasy tanks? I'll go with "no" for the sake of kindness and the fact that, as Volume 5's bird conversation proved, any deviation from the established norm is treated as full-blown, horrifying, shocking impossibilities... never mind that they're actually just a little left of what happens on a day-to-day basis lol

I feel like this bit in particular speaks volumes because one of the main reasons everything went to shit with oz is because oz didn't have a choice. nothing about that situation was on his terms, and it's pretty clear to me a lot of oscars actions are based off of what he personally experienced last season. I think it's also very reassuring that oscar seems to recognize that oz made mistakes but he clearly doesn't hate him and is actively working on bringing him back. he loves oz, tHATS HIS DAD

Not gonna lie, I kind of hope that when they get to Vacuo, Team RWBY or ORNJ just shoots the head master of Shade.  Like I’m sure he’s a fine fellow, but at this point it’s better safe than sorry

As much as there is a lot of talk going on I think its interesting to look at how Clover's lack of decisionmaking led to his death. Ultimately, when it comes down to it, his need to follow orders trumps his independent needs. We see it with him in the aircraft, immediately not backing down from trying to capture Qrow leading to Robyn fighting him. We see it when he fights Qrow, ignoring Tyrian in order to follow orders. He even says it himself "James makes the decisions." For him there was no need to question this loyalty for Ironwood despite the out of character choice to have a group of teens and a friend imprisoned. Its not that he has no agency, its that he actively denies the fact he has any at all, leaving him in the right no matter how things go. It was easier for him to make no desicion than one at all, and that ultimately led to the scenario where Qrow had to make the hard decision for him.

Do you think crwby even cares about Oz and Oscar? Because I feel like they don't. They keep brushing them aside like they're not important while trying to tell us that they are. I've expressed concern about that myself (on ozpin-defense-squad) but I wanted to know your thoughts on the matter. Do you think crwby even cares about our Oz boys?

i think that oscar has been historically mishandled and consistently used as oz’s meatsuit, and i had hopes that this would change this volume. we’ve seen glimpses but i’m still afraid that oscar is going to be shoved into the background yet again. though, we still have an oscar and james training scene to see so !! maybe he’ll finally tell papa wolf ironwood about rwbyjnr’s abuse of him and ozpin lmao. james is gonna be the new social services for atlas.

crwby consistently keeps on throwing ozpin under the bus and it’s getting real tiring lmao. he and ruby are literal parallels this volume and they’re still finding a way to go oh, b-but it’s okay when ruby lies and puts innocent lives in danger bc shocker, it’s hard to trust now isn’t it cupcake. there was a lot of talk last volume and i’m not seeing the action this volume to make it count so. maybe that’ll change in the next few episodes.

The last of the character images, it seems like I didn’t win the contest, so maybe I’ll do something else with these. 🤷‍♀️✨ Also #rwbyspoilers ahead: I cannot believe they found circumstances for Tyrian and Qrow to work together, and that Qrow was stupid enough to do that!!! Like???? What??????🤯🤯🤯

@hollrvaldr asked for a Winter Maiden Winter starter.

“Remember how I told you that something big was coming, Skoll?” Winter asked as she looked at him. Then she activated her maiden powers and opened her eyes to look at him again. “Well this is just one part of it.”

“Dr. Watts? Do you mind if I hide out in here for a little while?” Ren asked as he stood at the door of the older man’s office. “Mercury and Tyrian are...being their usual selves and I just can’t take it anymore.”
