Rwby Slogblog V8E7

Ironwood does something good for once in ordering them to evacuate. Ironwood is also an idiot (this battle was initiated with a strike by burrowing grimm at the forcefields, and now he wants to put all the civilians into cramped corridors with only one-way out) Winter and Co are still bootlickers, Jaune Ren and Yang are back in chains. (Is Ren still on Team Bootlick?) Ah a classic “operation feed it a bomb”. A strategem the immortal witch definitly isnt familiar with by now. At least Winter is starting to feel bad about James’ orders. (she might leave Team Bootlick before Ren does) Em’s beginning Operation Treason! Finally plotbeats are resolving again...  ------ Nora is still recovering from the lightning-gate “how did it all get like this” indeed ruby. I miss when this show was allowed to be more then a constant slog of depression and misery. Hazel (and Em/possibly neo cause she’s been silent for a while) have the password (now if only Neo wasnt a mute she could use it herself) Tyrian is the sane one for once, Mercury nods his daughter goodbye one last time. -------- Rens finally spitting out that bootleather. Oh Ren is getting a powerup, he can see souls now. wait how is winter the only one who has “complicated” feelings.  ------- Speaking of colour-coded emotionalstates: Klein is back!  Whitley proves he cares. (i love hugs) Penny is here, just in time to “die” from her injuries again. (im losing count on the number of times we’ve faked out this particular death at this point).

So since Ren’s an empath now, we get a special look into what Winter is feeling right now, with this shot in particular:

It’s made obvious that her feelings are very mixed up and conflicted, but what exactly are they?

The main colors of petals Winter has are Red, Orange, Blue, and Green. 

Red and orange are the most obvious- when Ren sees Harriet and Elm with the red and orange, he understand it to mean rage- they’re furious. Winter could be angry at a lot of things, but I believe she’s furious at herself for failing to defend Penny and the Winter Maiden, the Aceops for fighting, and even at Ironwood to a degree.

Next, the blue- we see the blue with Marrow. While blue typically represents sadness, and I believe it may do so to a degree, what we mostly see out of Marrow is him being anxious and confused, and if the blue truly was just sadness Ren wouldn’t have had such certainty that Marrow’s defecting. And we get that with Winter too. She’s unsure about what she’s doing, confused about what’s right and wrong anymore, and not necessarily trusting in her decisions.

The green is the one that’s hardest to read. We only see it in Vine, someone who’s known for not being overly emotional. But since we’ve already covered Winter’s anger and her confusion, what’s left? That’s right- her fear. Vine was the one with the clearest view when Ironwood shot someone dead for speaking out, Vine is the one whose semblance most depends on the rest of the team, or specifically Elm. And of course fear would be the emotion he hides- he’s an Aceop, he can’t let them know he’s afraid. And we see green around Winter because of how much she has to be afraid for. Penny. Whitley. Weiss. Winter is afraid of them all getting hurt.

And together, her anger at herself and the establishment, her uncertainty in what she’s doing, and her fear for the ones she loves are going to drive her to defect. We’ve already seen her emotions guiding her in making decisions other than what Ironwood told her to. 

So Winter’s going to do what a Schnee does when their emotions are going against what they’ve known all their lives.

Run to what their emotions tell them- to the ones they love.

So I know you're a fan of mutual trauma however, what else about the ship do you like

While I do like the mutual trauma, it’s really just a spring-board. In the sense of the canon story so far, (V8E7 Emerald theories aside) Neo hasn’t shown much sway on leaving Salem. She hated everything about the Grimm and the Whale, but she’s mostly still sticking around Cinder. She’s still a “bad guy”. And thats where we have to start, we need something to draw her towards the “good guys”. And Jaune going into the Whale next episode gives me THOUGHTS.

But beyond that: these two characters compliment and build off of each other so well. You’d never put them in the same category of fighters - Neo is fast and agile and appears to be the better fighter, while Jaune focuses on defense and hasn’t really shown in combat yet. But they both carry a sword and shield and neither are generalists.

On that point, they tend to mirror each other as well, like FOILs. Neo is the quick thief dex build. Jaune is the party healer constitution/wisdom (dump intelligence) build. Jaune has more determination and resolve than Neo does. Neo has run away, limped away, or backed down from every fight in the series (Except being thrown off the ship by Ruby in V3, or the Vytal festival matches). Whereas Jaune stays in the fight until his opponent is down or he’s down. He hasn’t run away, not even from the Death Stalker in the Emerald Forest. He tells Pyrrha back in V1E12 that he is ”tired of being the lovable idiot. Stuck in the tree as his friends fight for their lives” (which is what Pyrrha makes him do at the Fall of Beacon anyway locking him up and sending him away). Neo fights to survive, and runs away if thats what it takes. Jaune would rather die in combat than see anyone else get hurt. 

*Pats Jaune’s head” and this himbo can fit so much damn support and love in him. They can learn from each other. Help each other grow. They’re two sides of the same coin. 

Back to the FOILs: Jaune is a leader. His greatest strengths are calling the shots, making a plan, and seeing the bigger picture. Neo is the follower. She’s goal orientated and hyper focuses on one task at a time (fight Maria, steal the lamp, find Cinder, etc). 

I think they can help each other grow past what they are, and into something even better. They can understand each other better than anyone else, and they can compliment each other so well, dare I say like some of the other great RWBY pairs. 

They both have their mistakes and flaws, but that makes them believable. And they both outlived their allusions, (Jaune dealt with Cardin, where Joan of Arc should have been burned at the stake. And Neo lost Roman, where Tinkerbell never left Peter Pan). They’re out of their stories. On their own now. And both in need of a new partner.

RWBY V8E7? And, since it'll be on hiatus until February, thoughts on the Volume so far?

No major thoughts on this one. Not that there wasn’t good stuff, there DEFINITELY was with lots of development on lots of ends, but it’s pretty much all self-explanatory. Not much to say about the season as a whole yet either, it’s not building on an obvious structure in the same way as Volume 7 that made that easy to discuss at the time, though one of the writers declaring this the ‘tame’ half of the season certainly induces some fear.

“Now what am I good for” though? Agony.

RWBY V8E7 Thoughts

WOW but this episode was an emotional Tug-o-War. But will it break us before the mid-season break?

SPOILER ALERT

SPOILER ALERT

SPALER OILERT

So. Atlas is under attack. Ironwood calls for citizens to be evacuated to the subways, the city’s getting zerg rushed like crazy....and oh joy, The Ace Ops are gonna drop a nuke on Monstra.

Hazel and Ozcar’s little heart-to-fist continues, I see. Hazel trying to kill Salem over and over hardly seems surprising; proving to him how futile it is to fight her in order to make him think her way is the only way he’ll get his revenge is some classic cult-brainwashing.

Especially scary since she’s kinda right; the only way he’ll get revenge is to kill Ozma, and the only way THAT will happen is to help her end the world.

...Okay, Oscar. THAT was one hell of a Hail Mary play. Now the question becomes, does Hazel take the opportunity to get answers for himself, or give the passcode to Salem?

Huh. May’s trans. Neat. Not sure if “went trans to fully separate from her family” is a good backstory for a trans character, but I digress. The “with us or against us” mentality she’s starting to show? Not so neat. Kinda scary having 2 Ironwoods in all this.

Emerald’s confliction was my favorite part of the episode right up until the last bit with Weiss and Whitley. Seeing her start to question whether what they’re doing, whether continuing to follow Cinder, is the right thing for her to do...I’m really hoping she ends up helping with Operation Get-Oscar-The-Hell-Outta-There in the end. It may end in a “death equals redemption” fashion, but who knows, she may finally have a new lease on life.

Seeing the world through Ren’s eyes was...wow. He can literally see people’s emotions? Harriet’s fury, Marrow’s fear, Winter’s holy emotional train wreck, woman! No wonder he’s so insightful. So glad Winter’s giving them a chance to go get Oscar...even with the time limit.

Glad Ren finally took a look at himself there...may help him piece a few things about himself and Nora together. Speaking of...

This has to be one of the heartwarming highlights of the series right here: Whitley doing the right thing and calling Klein back to help tend to Nora. Especially since he didn’t do it for Weiss, but simply because he’s not the monster his father is. The fact that, after all his life has been, he can actually be a good person is very refreshing to see. Hopefully his mother can see this side of him at some point. Maybe help her put the bottle away.

...Okay, how high up was Amity exactly? Because, uhh...hi, Penny? I mean, in hindsight she must have been near the edge of space to have an fiery re-entry, but WOW.

...Aaaand that’s the episode. Have to admit, Penny invoking a bit of Pyrrha at the end there felt like the perfect kind of cliffhanger to go into the break on.

MAN these next few weeks are gonna be rough. Take care, everyone.

SPOILER TRAIN DEPARTING...

WELL, THAT’S THAT. YOU MAY RESUME REGULAR SCROLLING.

How The JRY/Ace Ops + Winter Scene In RWBY V8E7 Could've Been Done Better

From the RWBY Volume 8 Midseason Trailer: ......................................................................... Winter and the Ace Ops are, presumably, heading towards the whale with that bomb. It looks ridiculous to me considering she’s all “CHARGE!!” and they’re shuffling along with this massive thing. But the size does tell us that no, this can’t be a quick in-and-out mission like some of us hypothesized before, nor will it be an easy stealth mission (which is perhaps off the table entirely given Winter’s yell). Whether Team JRY has gotten Oscar out yet, given the Ace Ops information about the whale layout, or if they’re still inside is unknown.

. In regards to the JRY and Winter + Ace Ops scene from RWBY Volume 8 Episode 7 "War", I think it could've been done better. Like, what we got was alright, but a little more thought could've made the whole scene a whole LOT better. This is what I mean. . I think it's cool that Ren's Semblance is evolving to where he can sense emotions in general. It fits. Plus, it gives him some more versatility with his Semblance. . My real issue with the whole Ren's speech scene is that I easily thought up of an obvious way that whole scene could've been improved. Like, it's so freaking obvious, so why didn't the writers think of it? The components are right there. Anyways, here's how that whole scene could've been improved. . I kind of like Ren's whole "no one is replaceable" speech, so I think keeping the "muh feelings" aspect is fine but it can be improved by adding some rationality and strategy to it. If the writers would allow Jaune to be competent (for once instead of always relegating him to inept cringy comic relief) , he could've come up with a brilliant plan that could've turned the tide like this. He could first ask Winter to patch him to Ironwood, saying that he has a plan that could save all of them. Winter reluctantly agrees and gets Ironwood on the line. Jaune explains his brilliant plan that could turn the tide: . Jaune: "General Ironwood, I've come to make a bargain, so that we can both get what we want. We want to save Oscar who's in that Grimm Whale and retrieve the Lamp but you're not going to let us go without a good reason. Ace Ops' mission is to get into that huge Grimm Whale and deliver a bomb so that it can hopefully kill it and save Atlas. But how are they going to get through the hundreds of Grimm surrounding the Whale while also carrying the heavy Bomb? And even if they could get past all of them and make it inside the Whale, we don't know what type of Grimm or who else could be inside the Whale or if the Whale could be able to sense them inside it. They don't have any clear shot of going through those Grimm undetected while carrying the Bomb. That's where we come in. Ren here has a Semblance that allows him to mask negative emotions, allowing him and those under his Semblance to be completely invisible to Grimm, walk right past them. Thing is, he can only use it on 2 people by himself. That's where I come in. My Semblance allows me to amplify Aura and you know that I can do a whole lot from there. I have lots of Aura and you know how strong my Amps are. I've tanked a hit from a Colossus mecha head on and kept on walking. I healed Weiss from nearly dying to a flaming spear to the liver and lungs from Cinder during the Battle of Haven. Ren, Yang, and I are low on Aura but with a few minutes of intense concentration, I can regenerate my Aura and subsequently their's as well. From there, I can Amp Ren and his Semblance, allowing him to mask dozens, even over a hundred. With Ren and I, we can mask the Ace Ops and get them through the Grimm and into the Whale undetected. With Ace Ops backing us, we can fight our way through Salem's forces inside the Whale, retrieve Oscar and the Lamp of Knowledge, and plant the Bomb with some boosting on my end for good measure. In order to get what we both want, we have to work together, in order to save Atlas and Mantle. So do we have a deal?" . There is some silence on the other end as Ironwood contemplates on Jaune's deal before making a decision. . Ironwood: "Very well Mr. Arc, we have a deal. Ace Ops, coordinate with Arc, Ren, and Xiao-Long for the Payload Mission. Ren and Arc are the only real vital assets we need to pull this off but Xiao-Long should be useful as extra muscle, provided she doesn't just betray us like last time. But keep this in mind. Whether you escape from the Whale with Oscar and the Relic or not in time, this Bomb WILL go off. I will not put the lives of thousands of Atlesians at risk for the sake of 4 people. So be prepared to take responsibility for your own lives." . Jaune: "Understood." . From there, everyone gets to work, preparing for the Mission. Ren uses his Semblance "Tranquility" on himself and Jaune so that Jaune can intensely focus on meditating and utilizing his extremely fast Hazel-level Aura Regeneration Factor. The other Ace Ops don't put up a fuss, because they've been there during training with Jaune and his friends, so they know that he's being truthful and accurate in his and Ren's capabilities and how they can help make their suicidal mission an actual success. I may have been a bit overly detailed with all that Jaune said in that but I wanted to avoid CRWBY’s tendency towards annoying vagueness and not have Jaune repeat his stupidly vague "Hit them harder" thing, so I kept it a bit detailed so that both Ironwood AND the audience can know exactly what Jaune is proposing and how it's plausible enough to be effective. So in that scene, Jaune was persuading not only Ironwood but the audience as well. Ironwood and Ace Ops know that they would need the help of Ren and Jaune in order to make the Bomb Mission a success and if that means helping them with finding Oscar and the Lamp, then it's an acceptable risk/compromise that works for both sides' favor. Given that the Grimm Whale "Monstra" (that's the official name for it by the way) is several times bigger than the previously largest shown Grimm, the Leviathan, there's not a strong possibility that whatever Dust Nuke that Ironwood and the Atlas Army was able to cook up at the last minute would be powerful enough to take out the Grimm Whale. Jaune using his Semblance to drastically Amplify the Dust inside the Dust Nuke would act as a logical action to take as his Semblance can be the lynchpin to making sure the Dust Nuke would be powerful enough to destroy a colossal size Grimm like the Monstra. Plus, this serves as payoff to all the set up with the Training Scenes in Volume 7, especially the one in RWBY Volume 7 Episode 6 "A Night Off" which showed Jaune training his extremely fast Hazel-level Aura Regeneration rate. Not only that but it more logically connects JRY's goal and Winter + Ace Ops goals together, which also helps from a screentime perspective. . Anyways, after Jaune has fully regenerated his Aura, he uses his Semblance to Amplify the Aura Regeneration rates of Ren, Yang, and even Winter and the other Ace Ops so that their Auras are more than full. From there, they pick up the large heavy Whale Killing Bomb and then disembark from the Bullhead when they reached the closest they could come. From there, they get out. Jaune touches the shoulders of Marrow and Winter, Amplifying them. Marrow uses his Amplified "Stay!" to freeze the Grimm Horde attacking Atlas, with hundreds of avian Grimm dropping from the skies due to paralysis. An Amplified Winter Summons hundreds of full sized and Giant sized Beowolves, Ursi, Goliaths, Gryphons, and Nevermores, with her army of Summons tearing through the paralyzed Grimm Horde. This serves as reinforcements to the frontlines of Atlas soldiers and Mechas who were struggling against the Grimm, with several of the avian Summons entering the city to tear through the Grimm that made it through. This continues for a few minutes before Jaune, Marrow, and Winter have to stop, with Winter's Summon Army dissipating. Tearing through those Grimm would only be good so far as the Grimm Whale wouldn't stop producing more and more Grimm. By this time, the reinforcements have given the frontlines enough breathing room that they can relaunch the offensive with a second wind. . From there, Yang, Elm Ederne, and Vine Zeki (with his Aura Vines) lift and carry the large, heavy Whale Killing Dust Bomb while Jaune stands with Marrow and Ren in front, touching their shoulders and using his Semblance to Amplify the both of them, so that Marrow could Paralyze any enemies they face and Ren could mask everyone's negative emotions along with using his new Emotion Sensing ability to keep track of Grimm and even provide some protective fire with StormFlower. Jaune, Ren, and Marrow act as vanguard while Yang, Elm, and Vine act as middleguard with carrying the Bomb, and Harriet Bree and Winter Schnee cover the rear, with each using their Semblances to quickly and stealthily take down any paralyzed Grimm or enemies that they encounter, both in the front and rear. With this formation, the group ventures forward through the belly of the beast. Anyways, other stuff happens, blah blah blah, Oscar and the Lamp are retrieved and the Bomb is planted and Jaune uses his Semblance on the Bomb itself, Amplifying the Dust inside. (If he can Amplify Aura and Semblances, then it only makes sense that he can also Amplify Dust which can enhance both Aura and Semblance as well, with the function of Jaune's Amps being akin to a more potent version of Coco's Semblance "Hype") . Meanwhile, Ruby somehow arrives inside the Whale as well. Salem is pissed and is ready to dish out her 5-Maidens-worth of Magic against them but Ruby uses her Silver Eye Burst. It doesn't really hurt or kill Salem, as she's probably faced hundreds of Silver Eyed Warriors in the past who were much stronger than Ruby, but it does succeed in distracting Salem enough to prevent her from instantly annihilating them all with her Magic. Using that distraction, Jaune grabs on to Ruby and Amplifies her Semblance, with Ruby using it to grab all of their allies and very quickly flies out of the Whale at Mach speeds, before depositing everyone outside near the frontlines. We then see Salem watch the Bomb detonate at ground zero, with the Amplified Dust Bomb utterly destroying the Whale and causing a massive shockwave to spread throughout the air. And that's how they could turn the tide. . Anyways, I'm not the only one who was thinking something as obvious as this, right? . To conclude, these are the reasons why this rewritten scenario of how the JRY and Winter + Ace Ops scene in RWBY Volume 8 Episode 7 "War" would've been a logical and obvious improvement over what we've got in the show...... FIRST, the additions here make it clear that JRY, Winter, and Ace Ops are teaming up together. This not only gets around splitting the screentime between JRY and Winter + Ace Ops by having it so that they're both together instead of splitting off. SECOND, it gives a logical reason for why JRY and Winter + Ace Ops would both try to go inside the Grimm Whale and more naturally facilitates a team up rather than them going separately. Also, in my scenario, I had it where Ironwood is actually contacted (instead of being kept in the dark) and is offered a logical plan that allows JRY and Winter + Ace Ops to team up so that they can both get what they want. Even with saving Atlas and Mantle being his foremost priority, Ironwood could recognize the importance of retrieving Oscar and the Lamp of Knowledge, and the fact that Jaune's offer of an alliance is not only logical and beneficial but also is one that is being offered to him straight rather than being done behind his back, makes the offer all the more enticing. Not only that but Ironwood and Ace Ops would already know that Jaune's claims are true and accurate because they've spent weeks training together. THIRD, everything I've pretty much outlined in the scenario not only payoffs what's been set up before in Volume 7 and 8 but also serves as a natural and logical solution  for the Good Guys to net out a victory and save Atlas and Mantle without requiring an Ass Pull or Deus Ex Machina. All the components are there to make it happen. FOURTH and finally, this would show JRY and Ironwood/Winter/Ace Ops putting aside their differences and working together to save Atlas and Mantle, which is a FAR contrast to Ruby "Sipping Tea While The Apocalypse Is Happening" Rose and her compatriots'' irrational irascible refusal to work together with Ironwood which only makes things worse for everyone.

   . What do you all think?

Man but like, can Ruby Rose catch a fuckin’ break?  

CRWBY is really out here like,   

“Hey Ruby, remember the first of two huge deaths that massively traumatized you a couple years ago? One of the first real dear friends that you ever made? The one that like, wrecked you? Then after a year where you thought she was dead it turns out she was alive again and it was like a miracle? And you hung out, and talked, and were there for each other, and the friendship you had only deepened? (possibly into more?) And then she got powers she never wanted and a responsibility she never wanted and she was manipulated by her authority figures? And you were there for her? And then you protected each other against the spec-ops team sent to retrieve her? And then you sent her on a special mission in part to keep her safe? And promised that you’d see each other soon? And the message she was supposed to send out got mostly out but then cut off. And you were kinda’ worried about that. But there was a lot going on so you did what you always do with your concerns and pushed them down and ignored them?

You remember that friend? 

Well she just crashed into your best friend’s front lawn, bleeding profusely, made a massive crater, apologized to you then passed out. Hope this doesn’t reawaken any latent traumas. Good luck.”  

And that’s only like, one of 5 things she’s got going on right now
