RWBY Vol 9 Ep 6 Thoughts

So Bumbleby finally has another chemical wedding, the elevated chemical wedding, and kissed...

All elements were present, and the violence of the previous chemical weddings was not present. Air (storm, winds), earth (flowers, where they meet), fire (sun, lightning), water (storm/rain):

And White Knight, the ship I thought they should go for but might not explicitly pursue, got pretty much confirmed. (If you show a crush, you should follow it up; the most likely way crushes are followed up on in stores is canonicity; including it the same ep Bumbleby get together--clearly a romantic episode--is also a tell.)

All in all, a win of an episode.

I also really liked the macrocosm-microcosm scale of the episode. The Ever After is a microcosm, a simplistic version of the complex Remnant.

The Cat is also the gods: neither good nor bad, just wants a complete story. He doesn't see the world or life and death the same way humans like Jaune and Alyx and Lewis do. However, he's not doing this because he's cruel or stupid, but just because his understanding of life and the cosmos is very different.

I don't think Jaune's assumption that the Cat is a villain is actually accurate in the most objective sense, but it's well done in that it's clear why the Cat would seem like a villain to them... while also not necessarily being one.

It's Salem's conflict all over again. The cat, like the God of Darkness, is used by someone who is ultimately only concerned about her own happiness. Salem and Alyx seem like they're doing it what they're doing because they care about the people around them (Ozpin and Lewis), but the reality is that they ultimately want control. But to have complete control limits choice, which is one of the gifts of the gods that RWBY should explore after Vacuo's "destruction."

Oh, and Ruby is absolutely going to try to sacrifice herself to get the others home. I just think she'll be stopped somehow. Oh and Jaune will be remade as his old self at some point.

when blake said "I have to admit. I think I was kind of getting used to having you around."

when sun said "I go where I'm needed! And you don't need me anymore."

when sun said "Look, despite the drama and the fighting and the numerous attempts on my life, I had fun."

when blake said "Sun...I don't think I'll ever be able to thank you enough."

when sun said "I've got a feeling you haven't seen the last of me." and blake in return told him "I certainly hope not." before kissing him on a cheek-

RWBY Musing: Adam's as The Beast

But god, Adam's allusion being The Beast is so good on so many levels.

What is the Beast's curse? To remain a monster until he can learn to love and love in return. What does RWBY establish again and again and again is the only way to heal from trauma and pain and injustice? To be shown kindness and compassion, and to learn to show those in kind.

What is the foundation of love in RWBY shown to be again and again? Friendship, companionship, security, understanding. What is Adam denied again and again, by both his own actions and the actions of others? Friendship, companionship, security, warmth.

In the movie, The Beast is surrounded by people who care for and understand him: not just Belle, but Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs Pots, etc. Even though their servants, and made into literal objects by the curse, their willing to help him, to guide him, to tell him when he's wrong or being an asshole, and to encourage him to keep trying. Adam is surrounded by White Fang members who are blinded by combination of adoration and fear, who lionize him as a hero for his capacity for violence and who are utterly unwilling to confront or challenge him, even when they know he's wrong. And when things go south as a result, when he no longer appears to be this flawless savior, this avatar of their vengeance, what do they do? Abandon him, because their loyalty was never real, never based on anything more then his capacity to do violence.

And then their's Blake: Belle is willing to stand up to her Beast, to tell him when he's being a jerk and to refuse to play along. Even though she's entirely in his power, she refuses to let fear control her actions, to just capitulate. They come to love each other because of this, because the Beast learns to do better and be better, and because Belle refuses to accept less. Blake on the other hand, as we see in the Adam Character Short, is perfectly content to accept less. She accepts Adam's excuses, his violence, his growing monstrosity, because she's afraid of what it will mean if she doesn't. She's left everything behind to be with him, and to keep fighting for the White Fang: her family, her home, the ideals she was raised with. And what happens when it gets to be to much? When she can no longer let herself be blind to what Adam has become? She runs, rather then confront him. Because she knows how he will answer that confrontation, the same way he deals with everything else: with violence.

Even the mirror: the Enchantress leaves the Beast a mirror that can show him anything in the world, a way to gaze out at what lays beyond his prison, to show him him humanity and teach him. And what what group is absolutely swathed in mirror and reflection symbolism in the RWBY world? The SDC and the Schnee family. And what does the SDC do to him? It blinds him in one eye. It takes away his ability to see, and in so doing destroy his ability to see the good in the world (like the mirror in Hans Christian Anderson's Snow Queen). The SDC enacts onto an innocent boy such a terrible violence that he is forever marked by it, and twisted by it.

Adam is the boy the world only hurt, again and again and so all he knows is how to hurt. That's the essence of his Semblance: he absorbs all the damage with his sword, all the pain thrown his way and channels it out back into a weapon. He literally takes the pain and turns it into a tool to lash out. Because that's all Adam has ever known: being hurt and hten hurting the world in return. Yang's Semblance lets her channel the hits she takes into raw strength, not just damage, and that's what allows her to snap Adam's blade in two, because their's a difference we're reminded again and again, between being powerful and being strong.

The only thing that can save Adam is being loved and loving in return and it impossible. His own violence destroys any chance he might truly be loved: he can only be feared or revered. The violence he's been through has kept him from ever learning how to really love: no one has ever shown him kindness and compassion so he doesn't know how to show them in turn.

And if you listen to Lionize it's especially sad because it becomes clear that all Adam wants is to be a hero just like the rest of the Beacon kids. But his reasons are different, neither as altruistic as Ruby's desire to save the world for its own sake, or as messy as Jaune's desire to live up to his family legacy. Adam wants to be his people's savior, to be adored and revered by them because he thinks that will finally be enough to heal what the SDC destroyed in him. But violence alone can not save the world, can not make peace, and violence is all Adam has to offer the Faunus, because he was never taught anything else. His ending, perusing the path of throwing violence against those who wronged him past all reason and sense, until it literally destroys him, is a tragedy. They even say it in Nevermore outright:

There's no cause to celebrate Another soul consumed by hate and spite Another destroyed life There's no pleasure, there's no joy It's just a story of a boy who lost his way Into shadows strayed

Using Fairy Tales to explain RWBY Plots: Mercury’s Opponents

So Mercury alludes to Mercury, the Roman messenger God with winged sandals. Important factors of Mercury revolve around feet and the element Mercury (Quicksilver). It seems that parts of his allusion were used as stand-ins for certain elements (feet/shoes/silver) of other characters’ stories, which in turn fueled his own allusion. And they do this through the fights he participates in.

Mercury fights Pyrrha in Volume 2. Pyrrha is based on Achilles, who gets shot in his foot. This battle was symbolic for Achilles’ foot (Mercury) causing him pain and being his weakness, which explains why Mercury was fighting Pyrrha. He was trying to find her weakness.

Mercury killed Tukson in his bookstore in the beginning of Volume 2. Faunus represent creatures, and in this case Tukson represents the dark beast that reveals himself in the night (the lights were dimmed in the scene). Dark beasts in fiction are subjugated to be evil monsters, and can only be fought with the power of silver weapons. Mercury is the silver weapon that killed Tukson, the monster.

Mercury (who represents silver) seems to have a rivalry with Yang (who represents Goldilocks). Gold and Silver are commonly rewarded to competitors in first and second place respectively. So in a way they are battling for the top spot. Since gold is given to the winners, Yang is the victor of the fight.

Circling back to Pyrrha; Being a world known fighter, she was put on a pedestal for always winning (earning gold), but for once she just wants to have a genuine opponent (or partner/just something really), so you can imagine her frustration when her fight was forfeited by Mercury, resulting in her being the winner, or losing to second place (silver) once again ("we're obviously leagues apart").

In Volume 3, Ruby also tells Qrow that second place (almost) wins silver. A few episodes later, she gets challenged to a foot race against the clock with Mercury, where she almost saves Penny, And her reward? A grinning Mercury (her silver medal).

Ruby also represents Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (embodying the Ruby slippers). But in other versions of the story, they are silver slippers. Ruby vs Mercury serves as the debate on what color Dorothy’s sandals originally were (they were silver).

Mercury leaves Cinder in Volume 8 to work under Salem. Cinder (Cinderella), racing against the clock, loses her slipper (sandals/feet/kicks/Mercury you get the idea).

#tldr: yeah so he’s kind of a jerk #fun fact #Ruby activated her *silver* eyes after *almost* saving Pyrrha from turning to *gold* #I’m so sorry #mercury black #emerald sustrai #cinder fall #pyrrha nikos #yang xiao long #ruby rose #quicksilver #rwby volume 2 #rwby volume 3 #rwby volume 5 #rwby volume 6 #rwby volume 8 #rwby vol 8 #rwby v8 #rwby allusion #allusion rwby #rwby analysis #hermes trismegistus #achilles #goldilocks #wizard of oz #cinderella #rwby meta

[the-path-to-redemption]

RWBY has one thing Edgerunners doesn't, and that's not believing women exist as props for male characters' stories. Enjoy being a lowlife.

*W H E E Z E*

Oh, like how Pyrrha throughout 80% of her presence and even after death is only fuel for Jaune's angst?

Or how Neo is only Roman's partner and nothing else even after his death?

Or how Salem's entire backstory is still revolving around a man?

Or like how out of all the 4 kingdoms and academies, there's still not a single woman leader/headmistress. And Glynda was just Ozpin's second hand?

Anon, don't kid yourself. RWBY has never had respect for women, IRL or in their show. And if you had the cojones to actually talk about it, you would've gotten off Anonymous and say it to my face.

Fuck off and lick them RT boots some more.
