Have I mentioned lately I hate people, more specifically people in fandoms who spend their days worshiping one actor with a history of shitty behavior as their god and harassing his victim to the point she deletes all her social media accounts in an attempt to get some peace? Because I HATE assholes like that.

The wretches chased Arryn off all her social media, I fucking hate every last one of them.

I think we can also heavily blame "Naruto" for the disdain for the term and use of "Talk No Jutsu" >.>"
Luckily for me my fav shows are Hero Shows like Pretty Cure, Super Sentai, and Kamen Rider, so dramatic speeches are a thing I am used to.
Heck I hold "Go! Princess Precure!" to be one of (if not THE) best seasons of the franchise, and I say people should give it a watch, especially for the final 2 episodes and how they wrap up that season's version of "good vs evil".

I can no imagine both Brawnwens clinging tightly to each other while screaming their lungs out and cursing Ozpin, and he is just on the cliff with his mug and thinking "Yup....gotta keep an eye on those two."

Do people not recall Yang's "I love it when you're feisty" line from volume 2?

Maybe, I only watched up to early Shippuden and only vaguely recall the Chuunin Exam invasion arc so there's not a lot I can offer there.

That is a perfect mental image XD

People who defend Adam tend to ignore anything and everything that doesn't suit them and fabricate what they desire, at least in my experience, so yes.
Ghira - Peace - Alive
Sienna - Violence - Violent End
Adam - Extreme Violence - Violent End

This feels like an oversimplification given Ghira would have been dead if not for Sienna sending Adam in to violently deal with the lynch mob.

It's not like Ghira is a softy that can't take hits.
His aura wasn't even low (he only got shot once), and in more current times we saw Ghira be a beast of a man in the defense of his home and family by fighting White Fang attackers with nothing but his own physical might, and even took a stab to his back and still had enough in him to both catch and hold a burning balcony so it didn't squish a gay lizard.
Judging by the fact his Aura violently flickered and he was cradling his arm and leaning on Sienna for support, and that Sienna reasonably argued he'd his life had been saved, I am pretty sure he was one shot away from death.

wanted to edit my post, sorry bout that.

If you can recall how Naruto stopped Gaara's rampage, I want you to imagine that scene with Ruby (as Naruto) and Salem (as Gaara).

I have vague image flashes and recall Gaara's horrible childhood but little else.


Why copy paste this section?


Basically Salem and Ruby have both experienced loss, however while Salem has harbored hatred and spite, Ruby has instead chosen hope and love.


as for the copy paste, idk, tired and not sure what I am doing.

Could be interesting.

Fair enough.

Oh, that is nice art of Carmine.

Eh, not what I'd take from it. Keep in mind that Ghiras way didn't entirely work. I'd argue somewhere between Ghira and Sienna is what Blake will end up working for. Much like their real life equivalents, sometimes violence is necessary.

One thing I always keep in mind is that RWBY don't believe working within the systems rules will inherently net the best or desired results. They are totally fine with breaking the law dismissing the cops and bucking the government if they feel its necessary and or right. They'll open with diplomacy, they'll even give you a second chance, but if you hit them, they will hit back.

A very interesting post both in regards to Watts and Penny (or possibly Pietro) going forward and the very concept of nemeses in the show:
I'm a big an of this one, it fits well with how RWBY enjoys playing with these kind of tropes and even has the characters sort of believe in them themselves, Cinder thinks Ruby is her rival but Ruby doesn't give a crap about her except as one more obstacle to be removed and can do so on a whim, there's no battle to be had between them anymore and I find that fascinating.

Actually here is another good point on Watts
I'm a bit more ambivalent on this one as while his plan had some similarities to Cinder's that feels more rooted in what made strategic sense over him being bereft of imagination, though the idea that cos he was such a pain to Cinder before meant she wouldn't heed his advice is an interesting one, though given Cinder's ego I am unsure she'd ever listen to someone who couldn't kill her.

So, I am sure there are still people out there that want to see what happened next in regards to the volume 5 stinger (Raven Portals To Patch/Tai), but let's be honest, how can we fit that scene into current proceedings (especially after volume 6) and have it not mess with the flow of the story?

Very wholesome feels!

Assuming anything happened, I imagine we might get it in a brief flashback or explained in a brief monologue.

Oh hi. Have a thing:
That was amazing XD
