RWBY Volume 9 Episode 10: Of Solitude and Self

i have thoughts. here are some of those thoughts.

I am going...to try and keep this in chronological order, but it's midnight, and I tend to ramble the longer I've been awake. So bear with me.

First off, okay, so we're definitely going to get details of exactly what happened with Summer later down the line. Presumably, she, Raven, and Qrow ('cause who else would Raven have portaled too yanno), along with maybe some others who knows, went on the offensive vs Mommy Salami and things didn't work out. If that's the case, boy does that color Qrow's character even further. It's no wonder he used to stay far away from the people he cares about. Also wow Raven nice to see you again, been a couple of volumes.

I'm glad that Rubes got to have a sort of posthumous pep-talk from her mother, even if it's something as simple as "I love you the way you are". I appreciate that she didn't need to be talk-no-jutsu'd into getting the theme of the volume, but rather it's a conclusion she came to herself. After a whole volume of seeing her all morose and depressed, it put the biggest smile on my face to see her finally accept that she is Ruby Rose, and that's all she's ever needed to be.

On a less profound note

WHOOOO RED LIKE ROSES PART III FUCK YEAH BABY THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. Whoever animated that first little sequence of Ruby going ham on the cat with Crescent Rose? I want to kiss you. You deserve the world. Brings me right back to volume 1. (Was it Arryn? I feel like it was Arryn considering how much they love Soul Eater but I can't remember if they've done any combat sequences aaaah)

The Cat got the shit kicked out of them in a great team fight. Doing a whole ass 5 v 1, even with someone as formidable as the CC in the fray, couldn't have been easy to choreograph, so props to the whole team on that one for making it feel sick. The Cat is a bit of a more tragic character in retrospect with the tale the Blacksmith told (also--the Ever After is the primordial world? The Brothers didn't make it? Shit, color me surprised), but at the same time...yeah RIP Bozo.

'Twas curiosity that killed the cat or something like that idk

The fuckin piano reprise of This Will Be the Day oh my GOOOOOD. Chills. The music in this volume has been absolutely phenomenal. Of course there are the vocal tracks, but the score??? Martin Gonzalez you beautiful man. Bless your heart, bless your body, bless your soul.

Neo. Neo Neo Neo. Neopolitan, baby girl...I'm gonna miss you, as I'm sure a lot of people will. Even the people who hate this show like you because you're just so much fun. I remember back in the day when I was a kid and unironically used the word waifu to describe female characters I was fixated on, you were my precious little Ice Cream Wife and I would burn the world for you. It's so weird thinking about your origins as a character (Inspired by a genderbent Torchwick cosplay, Monty threw you in at the last second in order to not have to animate Torchwick escaping...though I'm sure there's more to it than that), to how you've progressed, to where you are now. This is the last we're gonna get of you for now, I'm sure. But at the same time, I can totally see you showing up for the final fight vs Salem or Cinder or whoever to get your licks in. You were a welcome addition this volume, even if you DID drive Ruby to drink the Bad Tea. It's hard to hate you when you're so fucking cute.

I am...not going to pretend to not be a little disappointed that Boomer Jaune was but a temporary thing. When The Blacksmith was talking about Alyx fixing what she'd broken, I was expecting like, idk, his sword to be repaired, but I quickly realized that she wasn't even the one who did that, and then I was like "oh no" and before I knew it, BAM back at it again with the yee-yee ass haircut. At least next volume comes with new designs so we won't have to deal with that any longer. I appreciate the streaks of grey, symbolizing that it's not like he's regressed in any way, but...Jauney Boy, get that wolf's tail back. You rocked that shit.

That's all I can bring myself to write down for now. I'm sure I'll be talking about this episode--and this whole volume--for a WHILE. I'm gonna sit on it for a bit, but I think it might take volume 6's spot for my favorite of the bunch, which is impressive because volume 6 is hella good y'all. Thank you so much to the crew (GOD I hope certain people who worked on this volume return for the next one, I could feel the love they have for the craft and for this show and I've adored getting to see their thoughts on each episode as it aired these past few weeks) and everyone involved in bringing to us. It's been rough lately, that's for sure, but I mean it when I say that RWBY is one of my favorite shows out there, and I wish nothing but the best for its future and the future of everyone who brought it to life.

now I wait probably about a year or so to see Nora/Ren/Sun's reaction to Blake and Yang finally getting together. Until then, I will drown myself in fanfiction.

500 FOLLOWERS MILESTONE !!!

well holy shit. i really don’t think i could say i expected this on my multi, and, especially after the last year i’ve had with creative ruts and then feeling so completely out of sorts with my writing, i’m beyond thrilled and happy to have all of you here!

first, because i’m a picky ass bitch, let me say that you’re all fucking phenomenal writers, lovely humans, and you all deserve the world. here’s me hoping that you’re all drinking water and keeping healthy and safe, and me reminding y’all that you’re GLORIOUS, so never forget it!

thank you for taking interest in my lame ass honestly, because writing is like the one thing i feel creative in, and i appreciate you all for sticking around despite me being, yanno, a complete waste sometimes.

now, to some little notes of love!

steph ( @skysplita​ / @earthsplita​ ) - steph steph steph steph. i couldn’t be more thankful and lucky to have someone like you in my life. i’ve pretty much rolled on waxing poetic all too recently, but i’ll never exhaust in my love for you. i think you, more than anybody else, has seen a lot of my ups, my downs, my glorious moments, and my worst. and yet here you are. i am completely undeserving of you, and i know that it’s all too often that i’m the one left not doing enough for our friendship. your patience is deep and unending, and i want you to know that i never take you for granted. beyond the iconic pairings, and the yellings, etc, i truly am excited for you to come to canada to stay someday. i can’t wait for paris. i just think you’re a wonderful person, and deserve to be reminded of that fact, day in and day out.

cc ( @joc-cook​​ ) - ummmm, so obviously, what a month, i can’t believe we have literally machine shit out this much writing and plotting and i am just!!! thrilled because it’s so lovely to be on vibes with someone who’s feeling the same. it’s been such a blast and i really really really hope you stay because i adore our ship and it’s been so thrilling to write like, all this pure unadulterated angst and to build up the slow burn and everything. like you know it’s real when you’re fucking writing timelines with all your memes because you can’t keep that shit straight anymore. anyways, love you loads, so fucking excited.

noct ( @ofeden​​ / @feardrawn​​ / @bringwar​​ / @rooskcya​​ / @sarpelui​​ ) - this might be super lame of me, but honestly, i am so grateful we write so much. i know we don’t sit there gushing and wailing, or the usual stuff, but frankly, you are always someone i’ve loved to write with across all the blogs you’ve ever written. in fact, like i’m positive i even missed some up there, but whatever, fuck it. you’re mad fucking talented, and you always make me feel appreciated, and i want you to know i feel the same. the rpc is a better place with you in it.

sam ( @untamedshe​​ / @blakeforged​​ ) - is it weird to say i feel closer to you now than even amsterdam?

to the euphoria babes ( @maddypcrez​​ / @naivefell​​ / @kitkween​​ / @ghostbloomed​​ / @cfknights​​ ) - i’m so glad you guys are here, watching you all write and when we write together seriously brings me genuine joy. i know the show is A Lot sometimes, but you bring a really fantastic spin to each character and i couldn’t be happier or more proud to write alongside with you. season 2 baby!!!
