Random thought, an interaction I would love to see in Volume 8 is Fox Alistair and Oscar Pine. If Fox can read minds, then wouldn't he be able to listen in on Oscar's conversations with Ozpin?

RWBY Random Rant #4

The injured one?!

Last episode comes out the day after tomorrow, so I think I've managed to piece together at least part of the finale.

⚠️Warning: this is pure speculation. There is a very, VERY high chance I could be wrong.⚠️

You have been warned. If I'm wrong, then shoot me.

Alright, now that I've warned you, let's start.

So, according to some of the little hints we've gotten from the writers, and some images and events that have already taken place, we kinda have a vague idea of what's to come in the finale. So I'mma gonna break down what I think might happen.

We leave off at team RWBY,

who are splitting up to go tackle different life goals. Weiss and Ruby are going to protect the winter maiden, while Blake and Yang are going to find team JNPR.

These two might be in for more than they bargained for.( and, no. I don't ship Bumblebee. Plus, that's not the point.)

Meanwhile, with JNPR, things are looking pretty bad.

With Neo after the relic, the team is tied up. When the fight erupts, it's going to get pretty crazy, and it'll only get worse when Blake and Yang find them. At this point, Nora might become the winter maiden, and Yang will encourage Ren and Jaune to bring Nora down to Mantel to help fight Grimm, and keep the maiden away from Ironwood. This leaves Yang, Blake, and Oscar to fight a three on one battle with Neo. At first, it'll be strategy detecting for Neo, but then, someone will get hurt.

This image says it all:

Blake is going to get impaled. In the heart.

How do I know the exact location of her injury? I don't. For all I know, she can lose a leg, or something. But, because of Blake's inspiration, Beauty and the Beast, the Beast almost dies of a broken heart. But this kinda already happened in Volume 3, sooo...

The big point is that Blake is going to get mortally wounded. And this is the point where we receive that scream from Yang we were promised.

Anyways, another character comes into play: Oscar.

At this point, he will unlock his semblance, but we're still debating on what it is. There are two possible outcomes. (Wth! There's literally LIMITLESS possibilities!)

#1) Oscar's semblance is sealing aura. He will use this to destroy Neo's semblance, and she will retreat.

#2) Oscar's semblance will be Time Manipulation. He will use this to reverse the damage on Blake, while Yang beats the stuffing out of Neo.

In the end, Neo probably will somehow escape with the relic, while the trio go after Ironwood to try and change his mind. At this point, Ozpin will be back, and will help defend Mantle from everyone who wants or needs to kill.

That's it for today's rant! If you have any questions, or ideas then please let me know! Please like and reblog!!!☺️☺️☺️

[ask-ivory]

It is Wednesday, Mi dudes.

There is only ONE episode left, and Oscar has a semblance that needs to be unlocked.

So, which will it be? The ability to seal away aura, or Time manipulation?

Place your bets!!!

Hey Guys, something great just happened to you! I got bored!

So I decided to try 2-D animation (ft. Velvet Scarletina). This isn't very long. If I get 8 likes before Saturday, then I'll see about making a longer animation.

RWBY Random Rant #3!

The true inspiration behind the headmasters?!

I know this post relatively close to the previous one, but after reading a recap done by @imdcathsmeow I realized something critical.

We were WRONG.

We all know that each and every RWBY character is inspired by a fairy tale character, or characters from classic books. But we've been looking at Ozpin's faction of allies the wrong way completely. I mean, characters like Glynda are in the clear about this, but I'm talking about the headmasters, Qrow and Raven.

Here's what I figured out.

Leonardo Lionheart

This character is a coward. This is obvious and everyone knows, but doesn't really care. But we all know that Leo is based off of the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz. The lion wanted to be brave, but couldn't find the courage to do so. But thanks to the Wizard, he became brave.

Leo is the same way. He felt brave with Ozpin's advice, but he was a big coward deep down. And Salem took advantage of this by threatening him with his life and used his position to turn Leo's allies against him.

His cowardly acts brought him to his end.

General James Ironwood

He is based off of the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz, while also barring reference to the Ironwoods from the Norse mythology. The Tin Man wanted a heart, but wasn't given one. He eventually got his heart from the Wizard.

Ironwood is the same way. In front of Mantel, Atlas, the ASOPS, and Teams RWBY and JNPR he acts like they're supposed to be under his control. But around Oscar, and Ozpin, he acts either like a father, or a friend. Because when Ironwood is around Ozpin, it's like Ozpin GIVES Ironwood a heart. A solid friendship between the two allows Ironwood to be more kind to everyone else around him. Ozpin also tries to keep Ironwood under control so he doesn't do anything rash.

Oscar seems to fill the role that Ozpin played to keep Ironwood sane. We see this several times in the Volume. We see Oscar giving Ironwood advise, keeping his hopes from crumbling, and when things get dark, it's OSCAR who tells Ironwood the truth. If no one else noticed, Ironwood didn't blame Oscar for lying, but he DID blame Team RWBY.

The point being, without Oscar there to reassure Ironwood, Ironwood will do anything and everything to keep Salem from winning. No matter what. He would literally sacrifice his heart towards others to do this.

Headmaster Theodore

(Sorry, no image.😁)

Many of us suspect that he is based off of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. This is where we are wrong. According to the thumbnail for the next upcoming novel Before the Dawn, a small part mentioned that Theodore was unsure of what to do with the Fall of Beacon. This makes it obvious that Theodore isn't the best person when it comes to strategies. And THAT can only mean one thing.

Theodore is the Scarecrow. Not Qrow.

In the Wizard of Oz, the Scarecrow doesn't have a brain. He is stupid basically saying. But the Wizard gives him something that resembles a brain.

Theodore is the same way as well. Around Ozpin, his mind is clearer and his able to make better decisions with Ozpin's advice. But without him, Theodore does his best, but in the end, the choices he makes aren't really very good. Right now, he is gathering huntsman from all over Vacuo to help defend the academy from the Grimm. He might not have thought this through very well, but right now it seems like the best option.

So,now that that's clear, Who is Qrow based off of?

Well right now, we definitely know that he and Raven collectively are based off of the Ravens of Odin.

Both are gifted with the ability to turn into birds. And a crow and a raven are in the same family of birds.

Raven is also based off of the raven from Poe's poem.

So that means Qrow has a second inspiration, but I have no idea what it is.

He could be based off of Sinbad the Sailer because of his luck semblance, everyone around him dropping dead while Qrow's the last one standing. Then again, I'm not sure.

Now, let's get to the last part of the rant.

Professor Ozpin's Role

Like I said, he holds everything together. Ozpin inspires courage, kindness, mercy, and strategy in the other headmasters. He keeps them all together, and helps them in anyway possible. Since he's had thousands of years of experience, he knows how to deal with a certain scenario. When the Grimm attack, or if groups of rebellious people rise to try and bring the academies down, Ozpin knows what to do.

And Salem Knows this.

THAT is the big reason why she went after Beacon first, why she was glad when she heard that Ozpin was dead, and why she was furious when she found out that he was back so soon. As Watts stated, "He's the only one with a chance of getting through to Ironwood." He wasn't joking. Ozpin is so inspiring, that all of the headmasters (except for Leo) would listen to whatever he had to say. And Salem knows that without Ozpin, the fatal flaws of the other headmasters would activate, and slowly, but surely destroy them, eventually leading to the fall of the academies.

Well that's it for today's rant! If anyone has any ideas on who Qrow is based off of, or has any questions or ideas for future rants, please let me know!☺️

RWBY Random Rant #2!

What villain is the best? (Cinder vs Roman)

Second rant everyone! This one may be a bit longer than the first, so if you don't have time but find this interesting, then I suggest reading this later. If you have infinite time on your hands and your board, then this might help depending on your interests. So let's jump into today's rant!

So, the world of Remnant is a big place. There, you'll find friendly people, weird people, mean people, and people who are just flat out crazy. But today, we're looking at a certain group of people: Villains. Now before we jump in to the blender of craziness, this post is an analysis that can be used for predictions and plot lines. I may be wrong, but I'm writing this off of what I know.

Anyways... Let's start with the basic question, What IS a villain? A villain (or for the more technical term: antagonist) is a character who is trying to stop the hero (or protagonist) from accomplishing his or her goal. Either this, or they're trying to get something and the hero is trying to stop them because what the villain wants is wrong. This is the loosest definition, so you can imagine that this goes way deeper than you think.

There are some things that you need to ask and have answered before you confirm who is the villain in a story. Some of which includes the following:

Who is this guy? (Basic background)

Why is he or she interested in this scenario? (Could this benefit to their cause?)

Why are they doing this? (If so, then why?)

So if we take this and try and apply it to the "villain" we can tell if this is a VILLAIN. Another important thing to note is the quality of the character. What sort of events cause the villain to act like this, and why?

Well, when we're talking RWBY, then villains come in different shapes and sizes. Some villains are immature, and others have experienced enough pain and defeat to know exactly what will work to achieve their goal and/or stop the hero. Then you have the peeps in the middle who aren't as overwhelming as the big baddie, but have enough common sense to know what's going on, what needs to be done, and why they're doing it.

So I'mma gonna start at the bottom of the rainbow and work my way up to the best colors. I'll also be rating these characters on a scale of one to ten. I won't do everyone. Let's start with the entire fandom's LEAST favorite character.

Cinder Fall

Stars: 0/10

Now if I was a writer for the show, I think the most interesting thing that could happen to Cinder is if she just dropped dead. That's how bad she. Literally. Now, what makes her so disgusting? There are two answers.

She did horrible things. Like hacking the communication towers (With help from Watts, of course), making the people at the Vytal Festival Tournament doubt the leaders of Vale, and, to top it off, KILLED Pyrrah and Ozpin.

But these are the actions a normal villain would do, so what really makes her Terrible? The second answer has the reason.

2. She's a poorly written character with a lack of depth are perception.

I have no idea what made the writers want to make Cinder a hated character, but whatever did worked really well. Honestly, it's like Roosterteeth did the opposite of what Disney did to Cinderella. But when I say she lacks depth, I mean there is nothing that makes her character any good. She's also one of the biggest mysteries in the show, and I don't mean that in a good way. Here are some of the questions that I often ask about her:

Why does she want power?

Does she want to rule the world?

Why does she wear an outfit that's guaranteed to help her freeze to death?

Does she want to kill Salem?

Why doesn't she learn from her mistakes?

WHY THE HECK DOES SHE EVEN EXIST?!?!?!

Well, after some examination, I found out something shocking. She is just a plot device. She may talk and act evil, but in reality, she's just there so that the characters have something to worry about. She has nothing that makes her good, or relatable. To add to that, she's like the Grimm, all she does is attack and kill and if she loses, she DOESN'T reflect on her actions, and she DOESN'T try to fix her mistakes. She just goes back into the fight with the same strategy as before. If the main protagonists studied Cinder's basic movement, then they would be able to take her down, no doubt.

Can Cinder be saved? The answer is no. I bet that, judging from the road she's going down, her strategy will be her ultimate end.

Hazel Rainheart

(I may have spelled his name wrong. Sorry.😁)

Stars: 2/10 ☆☆

Now Hazel is a bit more interesting. Unlike Cinder, he has a reason he's on the side he is now, but like everyone, he has his flaws. He lets his anger get the better of him, and he's quick to judge. But the real reason why he's not so good is because of his reasoning. His sister died on a training mission because SHE chose to become a huntress. But Hazel takes all of his anger out on Oscar and Ozpin just because he (Ozpin) was the headmaster of Beacon, and let her into the school in the first place.

And I gotta say, this reasoning is understandable, but it's still dumb.

But there is something that makes Hazel a huge threat to the heros: his semblance of pain nullification. This gives him the ability to block out pain. And I kinda get where it comes from.

When his sister died, he was broken. She was probably the only family Hazel had, and when she was killed, he wanted to block out the emptiness, the grief, the pain. Thus his semblance was unlocked and he could no longer feel pain. This ability is probably how his aura charges up so quickly. If pain can block aura from charging, then he has the tools to be a force to be reckoned with. The only downside is that just because he can't feel pain doesn't mean that he's not hurt.

Can Hazel be saved? Maybe. But if he goes on a redemption arch, then he will probably die. But that doesn't mean that he's a lost cause. There's still plenty of things that can be added to Hazel's character to make it better. But at the present, he could be better.

Adam Taurus

Stars 2/10 ☆☆

This character is relatively horrible. In fact, he's worse than Hazel!

But the thing is, he's like Hazel in a special way: he has a tragic past. Certain events that wreck a kid's childhood can scar them for life. Adam was discriminated for his faunus traits, and this set him on a path of revenge that would be his bitter end.

He was a threat, but small compared to the real one. His semblance made him very dangerous, but it also makes sense. To be more specific, his semblance is, what I like to call, absorption of impact (or for the EruptionFang version, moon slice). This gives him the ability to absorb any damage done by the enemy into his blade, then release it back at a more powerful rate. This can cause devastating damage to both the enemy and the environment. As for why he had this semblance is pretty basic once you think about it.

Adam desired to get back at those who mistreated him. He wanted them to feel his pain, but a lot more extreme. He wanted them to feel what he felt, but worse.

Adam had a lot of potential, but, well when you get stabbed in the back, it's not easy to get back at your enemies. Over all in terms of writing, the thing that would've made him better was a better understanding of what he went through.

Tyrian Callows

Stars 4/10 ☆☆☆☆

If Adam wasn't crazy enough for you, then Tyrian's your go to guy.

I think that Tyrian is insane enough to join Salem, but has enough sense to know how to kill. He's kinda tough to figure out, but thanks to some much needed information in Volume 7, we now know a bit about Tyrian's past.

Tyrian was a mad man killer on the continent of Anima but was captured. He was then rescued by Salem and her Grimm. Since he's mad he owed his life to her ever since.

He's mad, so there's no bad excuse. And to add to that, he is flat down dangerous. His semblance is the ability to cut through aura, making him a hard to beat.

Can Tyrian be saved? Not really. The only way to kill him is for someone to fall victim to him while another strikes the killing blow.

Doctor Aurthor Watts

Stars: 5/10 ☆☆☆☆☆

Alright. Here we go!

Watts is very interesting. That's saying alot. Now that we have more information on him, it's easier to see why he wants to screwer Ironwood.

He was an Atlasian scientist who went against Pietro in the effort to make something great for Atlas. While Watts helped write the Atlas security code, Pietro found that the best inspiration is found inside. That was were Penny was created. Watts was disgraced and faked his death. Then Salem found him and he joined her group to get both revenge on Ironwood and respect from Atlas. Though he is clearly unaware of what Salem's true plans are.

He is a wiz when it comes to technology. Besides that, I believe he has some experience with combat. His semblance could have something to do with technology, but we're still figuring that out.

Can Watts be saved? Writing wise, maybe we can get more details about Watts in the final episodes. He's not a lost cause when it comes being a more interesting villain.

Story wise though? He's a dead man.

Salem

Stars: 6/10 ☆☆☆☆☆☆

Yes, I didn't save her for until the end.😼

Now from the writer's point of view, Salem's backstory has been completely fleshed out. It's pretty complicated so I won't go into details. But from that alone, Salem's actons make sense. As a prisoner of life, she yearns to be free. She wants to die. And she believes that the only way to do this is to divide humanity and summon the gods in there darkest hour. Then the gods destroy the world and Salem is free. She doesn't care about the people she is hurting. She hates humanity and wants to destroy everything. But above all, she wants to get permanent revenge on her ex Ozma (or Ozpin or Oscar). She wants him to die and stay dead when millennia ago she made great sacrifices to try bringing him back from the dead.

Now she has nothing to show for it except endless years of war, hatred, and suffering. There is some relation that one can have with Salem. If anyone who is reading this tried to do something for someone you cared about, but got nothing to show for it in return, then that's what Salem would be feeling. And this has caused her to spiral into madness. She is the purest definition of crazy.

Can Salem be saved? It depends at this point. Story wise, most likely not.

Emerald and Mercury!

Stars for them both 7/10 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

These two are going to be paired in honor of their beloved ship: Emercury.

Both characters have tragic pasts, so that gives them some common ground, but both are looking for something different. Emerald is looking for love, the one thing that she never had in her entire life. Mercury is looking for a purpose in life, a way to make himself Worthy of greatness. He claims that Cinder recruiting him was just destiny.

Both of these peeps are incredibly good at what they do. Both can fight better than the members of team CFVY.

Emerald's semblance is Perception manipulation, which makes perfect sense in her case. In a very special case, her semblance is similar to Adam's. She wants others to see what she sees, Emerald wants people to see how alone she is, and just how much she needs family. Her semblance is an incarnation of her desire. And she uses it to make people see what she wants them to see.

Mercury's semblance is currently unknown at this time. But we do know that his semblance was stolen by his father. After killing him, Mercury probably got his semblance back, but lives under the illusion that it's still gone.

Mercury grew up in an abusive household, under the guard of a murderer. He was tortured everyday by his father.

Emerald grew up on the streets.

Basically, these characters are well written, and both have great potential as well. There's even some hope of a redemption Arch for these two, and possibly some romance.

Can Emerald and Mercury be saved? Writing wise, yes. More trauma and info can definitely help. Story wise? Hopefully, yes.

Roman Torchwick

Stars: 9/10 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Time for the classics!

This charming young schemer has been the first character in the actual show. Fans everywhere love him, and will often mark him as the best villain. Honestly, I have nothing against it. But for the sake of this post, let's break down this lovely character and examine his awesomeness.

Roman's origin is currently unknown, but maybe we'll get some light cast on it with Neo's backstory as well. Many believe that he is somehow connected to Brunswick Farms, and it's still a possibility that has yet to be ruled out.

Roman is a good fighter and a master mind behind the underground crime rings of Vale. By himself, he is a relatively good fighter. Though his semblance has yet to be determined, he has his own Roman candle.

Another aspect of this character that won the hearts of fans is his charming personality. I mean, who can blame him? Though his death was sudden, and unfair, his handsome face will live on in the hearts of many.

Neo Politan

Stars: 10/10⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The star of the show, folks!

Neo made her big enterence in Volume 2 episode 4 Painting the Town, and ever since has been one of the most popular characters in the entire show. If you break down Neo's character based on what we know, then it's actually really interesting. Let's scoop ice cream!

Neo's backstory is unknown, but we're hoping to have some light shed on the subject. Based off of the song "One Thing", we can tell that Neo's backstory is tragic in some way. She lost everything except for Roman. And she is willing to fight to protect Roman from the death. How do I know?

Her semblance is called illusions by many, but Unicorn of War calls it Mirrors, which I think is the most accurate. Her semblance gives her the ability to reflect her opponent's attacks upon themselves, and she can change her appearance right down to her hair and eye color.

What does any of this have to do with protecting Roman? She will use Any means necessary to protect what little she has left, and to her, that one thing is enough. She Will change her identity as many times as possible, and she often gets away with it. But she is so fierce in protecting that during a fight, any pain that the enemy can dish out to her dumdum would make her determined to kick her opponent's butt. She would give them a taste of their own medicine and literally reflect their attacks upon themselves.

She is a reflection of protection. And like that reflection she represents, she says not a word, but shows people how exactly they can hurt the one she loves.

After Roman's death, Neo Politan is determined to reflect her loves justice upon the true enemies. If you can't face yourself, then you can't face Neo.

So, there you have it, villains everywhere.

Be sure to reblog if you found this interesting!

If you have questions, then ask away!😁

[ask-ivory]

I'm starting to think that the theme of the volume might be indirectly pointing out exactly what Oscar's semblance is. There's a certain theory going around that Oscar's semblance is the ability to seal away aura. If Neo was stripped of her aura then her semblance would disappear leaving her exposed to her enemy with still a way to fight, but without a means of defence. The reason why I say that the theme song is saying this is because one of the lines in the song is: "The truth is there but sometimes in disguise." If Oscar unlocks his semblance then it would most likely be used to destroy Neo's means of illusionary.

Okay but with Neo apparently now after “the farm boy” and her demonstrated ability to turn into Ruby, I almost refuse to believe that ability won’t come into play again oh dear Oscar

But also like, if she and Oscar do end up fighting, you think we’ll get his semblance reveal??

RWBY Random Rant #1!

The Secret of the Snowman?

This is the first rant under it's title so I wanted the chosen topic to be good. So the subject of today's rant is another look at the Neo Politan Snowman and the true meaning behind it.

So, as we all know, the snowman featured in the RWBY chibi skit "Prank War" was used as a funny gag that Mercury threw at Cinder as we see here:

Everyone was astatic with the snowman, saying that it was a clue for the identity of the winter maiden. Of course, they all thought the current maiden was Neo (and believe me I strongly believed this too, until episode 2 of volume 7.) But now that we know that the maiden is Fria, the snowman is useless, right?

Wrong. This prop may not reveal an identity, but it can still foreshadow the future events to come in the current volume. What more can this seemingly "innocent" snowman tell us upon further examination?

Well most people were to busy freaking out over the snowman to actually consider the prankster's victim: Cinder. How was Cinder reacting to this whole thing? She was overly excited, she was thrilled, but as the day went on, she started getting annoyed. Then at the end of the day, she realized she was tricked.

How does the reaction tie into the winter maiden? Let's just say that this skit foreshadows some of the important events of today's volume. The possibility I'm aiming for is Neo's Master Plan.

Honestly, I have no idea what Neo is planning, but I have a few ideas. This is it.

Neo knows about Cinder's maiden powers. She knows that if she tried to take Cinder on, she would loose. And thanks to a desperate idiot who could've gotten her revenge in the volume 5 finale, Cinder has told Neo everything she needs to know about the current situation. Cinder then tells Neo to avenge Roman's death by killing Ruby. Neo is going along with this plan so that she can later wreak havoc on Roman's employer. But she's also throwing a wrench in the basic plan to help her achieve her ultimate goal. Neo knows she's not strong enough to challenge the Fall Maiden, so she hopes to obtain a copy of the same power. In other words, she hopes to become the winter maiden.

Will this work? If it does, then Cinder is in serious trouble. But consider if all the pieces did NOT fall into place. What if something goes wrong? What if killing Fria isn't enough? The current maiden is very old and old people aren't really very mentally stable. If Nora becomes the maiden then that might cause Neo to panic. She would try to retreat but Cinder would catch on to Neo's plan. Cinder would then try to kill Neo with everything she's got. At first, Cinder would enjoy it, but as time goes on and the fight gets longer, then she would start to wonder, "When will this fight end?" If Cinder succeeded in killing, then she would be really ticked off when she learned that the real maiden was gone.

What I'm basically saying is that Cinder would be left with a dead hire and no direct way of killing Ruby. On top of it all, she would need to find the maiden. And considering how conscious Ironwood is, he would immediately force Nora to Atlas, so that last part wouldn't be too hard.

Even though Nora would be drowning in security, Cinder could still get to her. Mainly because that all of Remnant's security is made of paper. Sorry, that's just how TERRIBLE it is!😏

Welp, that's today's rant! You can reblog this and add anything related to the topic. If you have any other ideas for the future, then please let me know!☺️

[ask-ivory]

Hi Everyone!☺️

So, a new year has just started and I thought about doing a brand new, totally original (I think), RWBY themed project! this new set of posts are going to be called the RWBY Random Rant.

These particular posts are going to be posted at completely random times, so I could do 2 in only one day, or I could delay a post for a longer period of time such as 2 years! (Ok, not that long, but you get the idea.)

As for what exactly this is, this is going to be like a series of prediction and theory posts on completely random RWBY topics. These topics can be anything from the lore of the show right down to the smaller details found in the RWBY series, World of Remnant, and even RWBY chibi! These posts can be about topics that were dropped in the past decade, or they could be made out of brand new shinny silver that is polished so brightly that it can evaporate Grimm. (In other words, info we literally just got.) Basically, I take the given topics, and try to break them down, examine the facts, and try to put them back together in hopes of getting a better understanding of the show, and hopefully enabling us to try and predict the direction the series is heading in. These posts could even help piece together evidence of the topics that can answer some of the mysteries that we still can't figure out.

And that's were you come in.😉

If there is a topic you want me to try and unravel, (remember, it can be anything in the series: missing character info, object analysis, character action, studying past events to try to figure out the future, or even, dare I say it, shipping,) then you can reblog this post or comment on what topic you want me to break down first! Your suggestions are all welcome and appreciated.

You gotta have more Ozpin in your life. You may hate him, but many of us think he's great!☺️

[ask-ivory]

IS IT STARTING?!

After seeing the new clip from FRWBY, (rip ForestÓ╭╮Ò) it is obvious to tell you that things in Mantel are definitely NOT good right now. I mean, Dr. Watts has the potential to start a freaken riot! But it's so much more worse than anything we have seen in the past. This time, there is a massive Grimm invasion, but unlike before, the mammoth Grimm that show up seem to know what they should be doing in order to get into Mantel. They seem to be specifically designed for the purpose they are trying to fulfill. If you want to know what I'm talking about, then watch the video if you haven't, and (spoilers beware) you'll notice that the Grimm's tusks seem to be able to break down a wall. And from the looks of it, I think that's were they're aiming.

But breaking down the walls of Mantel seems like an all to suspicious objective for the Grimm. What if this attack is the Start of the Fall of Atlas? If in the remaining chapters of this volume get worse, then I think Salem is out there in the tundras plotting her next move. Does Salem have a plan? Most likely. And I think I'm starting to understand exactly what it is.

The fall of Beacon was a horrific tragedy for everyone. If you lost another city to the Grimm, then that would not abode well with others. To be more specific, the counsel. If Mantel fell, then Ironwood would take the blame to heart, as many Innocents would die for Watt's actions, but the first action that caused it all would look like Ironwood did it. Or at least look like Ironwood had it done. Or maybe even Jaques could have ordered it? Who knows what to think?

Tearing people apart and then down is Salem's trade mark way of trying to destroy humanity. She has seen it work, and she will do it again. Her plan is to turn everyone against each other, and then go after Atlas, or more specifically, the relic. Salem doesn't know what Ironwood is planning (or maybe she does if Watts found out about it) but she knows that the maiden is in Atlas. She knows that if she sends the right people up, they can take the maiden's power. Once the relic is removed, Atlas will fall.

So, to wrap this prediction up, try to expect more blades and guns in the next episodes. Especially considering the Winter maiden. If you think something else will happen, then please let me know!☺️

Thanks for reading!

Maybe she can bring a defeated unit/s back to the game, or summon historical characters like the old Salem or Ozma.┐( ∵ )┌ Who knows?

Actually, I just found out that she can pause time. But it's not as good as it sounds. She can only freeze time for every unit but ONE of your own. And the time freeze only lasts for about seven seconds. I am not impressed.😒

My sisters and I exchanged gifts tonight (because we are so freaking impatient). This is what my younger sisters gave each other.

Credit goes to my youngest sister for coming up with this!
