#rwby volume 9 episode 5

[shadowfiredemonwolf]

when jaune returns from the ever after he will deage

but he wont go back to how he was in v8 it will be in the middle to represent that while he has healed from trauma  he has still changed due to his time in the ever after and wont be going back  like say he will be in his 20′s or older than what he used to be

There's so much to this episode that I don't even wanna analyze, cause I'll tie my brain in knots but I just gotta say, I love how Little's first response when she woke up and saw the metal lady was "We should leave immediately."

[a-tale-as-old-as-taiyang]

Man things are just parfaited to not go smoothly for team RWBY in the Ever After. In particular Ruby had to deal with that blacksmith hammering away at her with questions, how is she supposed to forge ahead under that pressure. That first jabberwalker wasn't to much trouble with the rest of the team finally rising to the occasion by returning to normal height and a surprise help that Knight by a now apparently old friend.

You know, the longer I think about it, the more I realize that it actually makes perfect sense that an online company so incredibly pro-military and pro-veteran (RoosterTeeth) would write the worst black-and-white, unbelievable, morally bland, and utterly boring and worldbuilding breaking anti-military story I've ever seen.

It's like they thought if they even slightly tried to make it realistic, even slightly tried to make it believable, we'd all realize how similar it was to the US military and go "you hate veterans!"

But instead we got a military that makes no sense. A story that relies on you not paying any attention to the worldbuilding. And a bunch of dead people who didn't mean anything because by the end they were just fucking caricatures. James is the evil general. Clover is the too-loyal right hand. Vine is the self-sacrificial meditative type. And they aren't anything else.

All of Atlas is flat and cardboard and cartoon-y and bad. And I genuinely think so much of it is the inability of these fuckers to stop sucking off the US military long enough to understand something called nuance. Because they fired so completely in the opposite direction to their on-camera shit (we love veterans! we love soldiers! fight the bad guys!) as opposed to RWBY (all military evil there is no nuance no middle ground nope just evil! James is as bad as SALEM!) that they lost every discussion and every interesting detail in the sprint between the two podiums.

This isn't the real world! We can have discussions about stuff we wouldn't approve of in real life but make interesting stories! We can have discussions about redemption and revenge and making choices!

But nah let's just have them all be evil evil people and then save Winter (maiden, sure), and Elm, Harriet, and Marrow (and I'm not going to lie here. I genuinely think the reason Harriet lives instead of Vine is because RT was TERRIFIED of another Sienna Khan backlash.)

Atlas was bad.

It was rushed. It was sloppy. It broke characters. It broke worldbuilding. It broke the internal logic of the universe.

And we still learned fucking nothing about its people, its culture, or its history. Just like in Mistral.

Setpieces. Empty destructible setpieces. Only this time there was nothing else to prop up the building facades.

Truly, the only good thing Atlas gave us was Penny.

And look how that turned out.

What it feels to be loved

The fact that that cat is so obviously voiced by Goro Mother Fucking Akechi is just instantly making me expect it to betray everyone

[fluffy-the-beowolf]

So, the black Smith's symbol shows a birch leaf, which symbolise spring and rebirth. So the fact its on fire shows that it's something of a "rise from the ashes" kind of conundrum. Since death doesn't really exist in the ever after, see the red king and the red Prince with the red Prince being the "reincarnation" of the red Prince with one goal. The blacksmith is the person who either forges the goal or forges the idealism that the person wants to follow. They were essentially asking Ruby to put down the scythe and pick up a sword or the axe to become the new penny or the new Summer.

Butterflies typically symbolises rebirth and hope, things like that, the fact that the blacksmith was forging one either means they've got something to do with the reincarnation process or they've going to rejuvenate Ruby's hope in the world.

They also have a striking resemblance to Pyrrha,

Ik we've all been focused on jaune being old and the jackalope but I think there's so much symbolism behind just this scene and Ruby giving away her emblem.

The p5r brain rot is so strong that I couldn’t even enjoy RWBY’s episode, usually seeing Penny and Pyrrha would have made me sob but I only began to cry when I realized Torchwick is voiced by Billy Kametz and I had to stop every time the curious cat talked, this game has ruined my life

It’s been so long since there was a new saturday-morning rwby episode that I’m going to have to fight so hard against my habit to check social media in the morning so I don’t immediately get spoiled lol

[n1blakelover]

always open films episodes around a month in advance to when it actually comes out,, which means this episode will probably come out around when episode 7 or 8 of rwby is coming out 👀👀👀

rating different ozpins out of 10

There's a lot of them. Long post ahoy.

Volume 1: pale ass man. flings his students into Grimm-infested forests and does not give a FUCK. not actually listening to anyone half the time my autistic king. despite the limited animation, you look into this man's eyes and you can tell he's secretly a little shit (affectionate). 9/10

Volume 2: I was gonna put a screenshot of his face and talk about how much better the lighting is in this volume but I saw this on the wiki and this man has NO ASS. He has NO CAKE. the dilf caring mentor vibes this volume are off the charts yet i can't get over this shot. 4/10 the no ass really hurts him

Volume 3: Colourful lighting, soft gaze, blorbo burdened by the weight of his sins. Not so pale that it hurts to look at. His mischievous demeanour is gone in place of sad immortal old man vibes. A shame to see the silly go, but I love a man with flaws who tries his genuine best to do good. 8/10

Volume 5: This part of the OP was always so jarring to me. The silly has returned but they flattened him and it looks odd. Is he doing the :3 face? 2/10 for hiding it in profile.

Volume 6: The first Ozpin in Maya! Unfortunately, he has to contend with the original Ozma this episode, and sadly his one second of sad old man hours kind of gets outshined by fucking. everything his past incarnations go through. Nice to see him in model again though. 6/10 (Ozma is like. 10/10 btw)

Volume 9: this isn't even ozpin. -100000/10.

Chibi: This is peak. I don't even care anymore. I'll say it. RWBY chibi is the peak of rwby content and I'm tired of pretending it's not. this man is the embodiment of silly. he would :3 and he would have the decency to look at the camera when he does. if this oz ever met salem... okay he'd probably make things a lot worse but it would be really funny. 11/10

Ice Queendom: ∞/10 daddy? sorry. daddy? sorry. daddy? sorry. da

This one render: what are you scheming about you shifty little fucker. this is the face of a man who has done something to mildly inconvenience you and he's waiting for you to realise it. gay ass smirk. i appreciate it for bringing back mischievous ozpin in the maya engine but there is something about this i do not trust. 6/10

(bonus) the exact same render but in this thumbnail with his ex wife: 9.5/10. Salem addition really brings out the best in this one. Ozlem in a romcom. He gets pegged and he's proud of it.

Volume 3 japanese poster: eh. it could be better. I don't sense the silly OR the sad old man OR the fuckable mentor in this one. 1/10.

Volume 6 poster: YEAARGHHH THATS WHAT I CALL ANGST, BABY!!!! 11/10!!!!

Viz manga: with this and ice queendom, the jp side of rwby understands how to make an ozpin that appeals to me, specifically. 20/10.

Playing card: the hand in his pocket. the other hand resting lazily on his cane like it's a fucking samurai sword. the slightly cocky smirk. this is Ozpin after spending a day with the Branwen Twins. a young raven and qrow saw this and thought he was the coolest fucking dude ever (he is not). was going to rank it a bit lower but due to my headcanon going straight to ozpin and bird twins I like it. 8/10

this shirt: i would comment more if i could see. 3/10?? he looks sad i think which is nice

DC Comics: PUT THAT FUCKING MOP HAIR BACK!!! -10/10!!! YOU GIVE QROW HIS HAIR GEL BACK RIGHT NOW MISTER

RWBY/JL: this is an imposter. his hair looks like fits on his head like lego figure hair. -2/10

conclusion: i want him to whimper.
