Juniper and more Whiteknight meme

I'm sorry but wwwwhhaattt, no way that cute, adorable, steed going to back with them to their world. If that does happen, best decision ever, Jaune gets to keep his trusted steed.

And of course here you go.

Girl they got me too...Didn't see it coming but they got me real fast and real strong.

... all right vol 9 and whiteknight shippers... you've swayed me... I'm into it now.

Honestly I like this way more than the hug itself. Like, this is just way more intimate in my opinion. Just the placement of his hand, there’s no platonic explanation for that. Literally. That’s the way you would see a husband hold his wife.

[enjeru0taku-blog]

Oh yeah. I'm all for this ship fr. Volume 5 had me like "ohhhkaaaayyyy I can see it...." then they continued to have little moments in the following volumes that never really gave my eyebrow reason to lower. Like I been peaking them but V9? Oh yeah. Absolutely. All in. Gimme this. They were so cute, I feel like I've been sleeping on this ships potential. Like Injew it could be a thing but I didn't think I'd love it sm!

I've never really been a whitenight shipper but..

This little moment might have sold me on it

The way I SCREAMED lmfao!! Why are these so absolutely correct?! I was chuckling for Eren and Armin but Mikasa on? Dead!

Reiner...baby no. 😂😂😂😂😂

And jean, omfg

eren's is basically older eren probs talkin about younger eren

These are all so fucking perfect!!!

[enjeru0taku-blog]

this is such a stupid take like.

cinder doesn't have "daddy issues", the abuse she suffered came primarily from the women in her life with rhodes playing a nominally small part otherwise, & he's not her father or even in a father figure role. not every male mentor is a father figure.

raven's parents aren't even mentioned in show, let alone whether or not her father was a major part of why she is the way she is.

winter doesn't have "daddy issues" , she has parental abuse from both parents. stop trivialising abuse with a silly term.

velvet definitely doesn't have any form of daddy issues, she just sometimes has natural conflict with her father? 😭

rwby fans consistently show they have never known the paternal guidance of a father figure.

[enjeru0taku-blog]

Bitch wtf omggg lmao No, I can not. Who what when where and why the fuck 💀

rwby fans be normal challenge (instantly failed)

BROOOOOOOOOOOOO

WHY ARE RWBY FANS LIKE THISSSSSSSSS

[enjeru0taku-blog]

If I were in her position, I doubt I would've turned out any different so murder away queen. I mean, wait no. Um. Uh...Get some therapy! Get lots and lots of reeeeeal good and intensive therapy! And then kill the therapist bb!

Can i just say how glad I am Cinder fans are generally on the same page about her? You don't really see any of the apologia, or the woobifying or any of the 'villain did bad thing therefore problematic' discourse that makes talking about most villains online so unbearable. We're all keenly aware Cinder is a rotten, murdering bastard and that's awesome.

A Failure with a Death Wish

These days, among the many RWBY thoughts that cloud my mind, I think about how Cinder Fall is synonymous with failure.

It’s funny in a way because for all her failures, Cinder is still around and, honestly, doing rather well. At least in the sense of she’s not dead when she could have been on a few occasions, and she has not yet provoked Salem’s wrath to the point of complete condemnation. But anyway…

In every critical moment of her life, Cinder has come off worse in some way. Her attempt to escape her wretched childhood and find freedom only led to losing the one person she actually trusted and looked up to - and then falling into Salem’s orbit, replacing one cruel Madame with another. Even her greatest triumph - the Fall of Beacon - was her greatest psychological and physical loss. She attained the power of the Fall Maiden and fulfilled her mission only to be left so seriously maimed that she could not speak nor leave Salem’s side for months. She lost at Haven because she got too ambitious according to Watts, although I’d argue that Raven didn’t help by throwing a curve-ball into the deal. And of course, she got her ass kicked twice in Atlas when pursuing the power of the Winter Maiden. As for her temporary victory over Team RWBY at the end of V8, time will tell what sort of loss she will suffer from that.

And yet, for all her failures and setbacks, Cinder lives. She keeps banging her head against that metaphorical wall. She clearly remains a vital part in Salem’s master plan, so she gets to live until she has served her purpose in retrieving the Relic of Choice. Perhaps Watts’ tirade during ‘Ultimatum’ was the first time Cinder was really confronted with how big a failure she really is. Of course, it appears that she doesn’t learn from it, but why would she? When you’ve been powerless and had nothing to lose and everyone around you is better off than you, does it really matter how many times you fail if you’ve decided you will do whatever it takes to put yourself on top?

The problem for Cinder is that she’s never been shown a viable alternative. So she’s stuck in a failure loop until, hopefully, the relic she’s destined to find will give her that choice. But wouldn’t it be fitting if a certain silver-eyed warrior could identify and empathize with that sense of being a failure? Someone who has tried so hard to do what is right and at this moment in the story likely feels like a complete failure because they seem no closer to victory?

I suppose we’ll find out eventually.

[enjeru0taku-blog]

It has always felt that way to me. It's the only thing that makes sense, as she's the only Maiden who is hurt by Ruby's Eyes on two separate occasions. I'm not sure if Salem just decided to try out implanting Grimm insects inside of/grafting limbs onto humans or if there is something specific to Cinder that makes her specifically a candidate for these fusions, similar to Silver Eyes Warriors being prime candidates for being made into Hounds.

This is headcanon territory, but i wouldn't be surprised if we found out down the line that there is, in fact, something that sets Cinder apart from a regular human. It would make sense as to why Salem would target this random orphan child as her vessel for Maiden powers. They make it clear that Salem chooses her followers but why would she choose Cinder? How does she even know Cinder exists tbf. She was a random orphan who was made into a slave; I doubt Salem is reading through the files of all young girl orphans in Remnant. Also, why would she think that Cinder would be capable of housing 4 powers, were there nothing special about her?

Silver eyes affect Maidens right? Or do they not?

Just a thought experiment after hearing Critiques on the Silver Eyes conveniently being able to affect Maidens due to Salem's Comment

Volume 4 "The Next Step"

Watts: My thoughts exactly. Even without her new power, it should have been effortless.

Salem: It is because of the Maiden's power. Make no mistake, Cinder, you hold the key to our victory. But your newfound strength brings with it a crippling weakness. Which is why you will remain by my side as we continue your treatment.

But in all honesty I think Salem was personally lying about the possibility of affecting Maidens with Silver Eyes.

Where's the Proof?

Notably two instances throughout the course of this series Volume 7 Finale & Volume 5's last few episodes

Ruby activated her Silver Eyes to protect Penny in the first instance and Jaune in the second instance

Both examples had Maidens(Raven & Penny) be unaffected and look alright

The only one was affected in those same instances was Cinder who's failure was a result of the Grimm's infection

While it is true that Cinder didn't have a Grimm Arm in Vol 3,You could argue that the Grimm's injection was slowly growing over time; especially after using the Grimm glove to drain Amber.

But what would she gain from Lying?

From my perspective,she most likely lied in order to get Cinder's need for rage to burst out more and with this cautionary statement of hers

Cinder will promise to grow stronger and therefore become a more valuable asset than she already was

Salem: Then I see no reason for your cruelty towards young Cinder. She's become our Fall Maiden, destroyed Beacon Tower, and most importantly, killed dear Ozpin. So I'm curious, to what failures are you referring?

[enjeru0taku-blog]

When Salem said "it is because of the Maiden's power..." I took that to mean, "it is because of Cinder's power". As in she was referring to Cinder as "the Maiden" in that moment vs "it is because of the power of the Maidens". So Salem could have been referring to any power specific to Cinder, but in this instance I think she was specifically referring to whatever it is that enabled her to fuse a human girl with the body parts of evil goo creatures. Cinder has been gifted with the ability to gather more power via Grimm infusion but because of it, she's left extremely vulnerable to Silver Eyes. Would explain why neither Raven nor Penny were effected by the eyes. Also, Cinder would immediately catch on to the fact that she's the only Maiden affected by the Silver Eyes, so Salem lying wouldn't make much sense. I think this is a Cinder specific curse

[enjeru0taku-blog]

My main issue with Rhodes drawing his weapons on Cinder is...well, he can see that the Madame is actively electrocuting Cinder via the shock collar as she's being strangled. If he didn't know how bad her abuse truly was, and I agree that writing it off as unfair treatment implies that he doesn't, then he did in that moment. He's seen Cinder wearing that necklace from the day they met. In that instant, he should've realized that the girl he'd trained, who'd managed dealing with years of "unfair treatment", was actually dealing with years of outright torture. Shouldn't that have had some effect on how he handled the situation?

I get that he's a licensed Huntsman witnessing the tail end of a triple homicide; he has to subdue her in some way. Drawing his weapon really doesn't seem like the smartest idea, however. She turned to him with no intent to attack. Granted, she looked...unwell...but the ones she viewed as a threat were already dead. He could've attempted to de-escalate the situation but he immediately wrote her off as a lost cause and drew his weapons. Her face prior and after he drew his weapons indicated that she never even considered attacking him. I'm assuming his huntsman training included more than just "beat up the enemy 101". Regardless of her skill level, which yes indeed he would've known she was a prodigy in combat, she is still a child. A child who wasn't a threat to him until he became one to her. Her being skilled doesn't negate her age; the 14/15 year old, severely traumatized girl who is clearly fracturing in front of him, who he now sees has been wearing a torture device around her neck the whole time, needed something other than to be condemned to a life of running and the threat of her newfound "freedom" being snatched away. His grades at Atlas Academy must've been pretty mediocre because I can't even see Ironwood fumbling the ball this hard.

Also, I know that Cinder had also killed two...uh...innocent...children before going for the Madame but

1) she was also a child. A child who seemed a few years younger than them, actually. She wouldn't see them as simple bullies, strictly products of a toxic environment. She would've seen them as 2 parts of the 3 person team that have been making her life hell for half a decade. Rhodes would recognize that they didn't really deserve death, but Cinder had every reason to think they had to go.

2) And I'll give my honest thoughts here, the kids at the orphanage from earlier in the episode were bullies; those girls were monsters. Unlike Rhodes, they knew what their mother was doing to Cinder. They knew how just how poorly she was being treated. The way they gleefully ran to her to snitch on Cinder once they discovered the weapon? Yeah, no way that was a one-off. They're actually shown setting up situations which would get Cinder in trouble, knowing what type of punishments were in store for her. Their little strawberry teasing becomes a lot more sinister when you remember that Cinder was pushed to eat the discarded scraps of the hotel's patrons to avoid starvation. There tricks become darker when you remember that Cinder seems to make up the majority of the hotel's "help" and intentionally increasing her workload would put her behind and result in further "punishment". Their mother is worse, she's a grown woman torturing a child for entertainment but they are still awful. Unlike Cinder, I'm highly doubting that they spent 100% of their time in that hotel; it's very likely that they have perspectives outside of their mother to draw from. School, social lives, other rich folk activities? As bad as Atlas is, especially with it's treatment of Faunus, I'm doubting that human child torture is widely accepted considering that the worst abuses are intentionally hidden from the public.

One thing that I completely disagree with is the take that Cinder killing the 2 sisters before her stepmother and then her mentor makes her situation less tragic. Cinder spent the entirety of her early life being heavily abused by others, physically and mentally, for no reason other than they had the power to do so. She's basically been enslaved for about half a decade. She's not going to just lay her weapons down and say "take me in boys, I've done what I needed to do". It wasn't just about the abuse she was suffering; when she first met Rhodes, she didn't even mention the abuse. "You can do whatever you want. Go wherever you want". Moreso than her being abused, she hated that she was forced to sit there and take it. She hated that she lacked the freedom to leave the situation; the fact that said situation was so extreme just made it that much worse. The Madame wasn't her only barrier, the sisters were also obstacles. When Rhodes pulled his weapon on her, he too became an obstacle.

She didn't automatically become a budding mass murderer in the making when she originally stole his weapon; she was a desperate 10 year old willing to do anything to leave. She wasn't a budding mass murderer in the making when she killed her stepsisters and the Madame; she was a desperate kid, barely into her teens, who'd quietly endured unnecessary cruelty for years and finally snapped.

The fact that she went on to commit evil in the future is a direct result of the situations that other people put her in, not because she simply made a bad choice. She made the only choice that would make sense to her and the fact that she was then found by an immortal being hellbent on vengeance and world destruction may have had a bit to do with the whole "went on to commit further atrocities" thing. Do people really think that the slave child who'd freshly murdered her way to freedom, with zero knowledge of the outside world, found an ancient eldrich abomination witch lady on her own? Salem found her, same as all of her followers. Judging by how much Cinder subconsciously emulates her (and Madame to be fair), she found her pretty early on. What...I just don't...how the heck would this girl have been a well-adjusted member of society?

Back to Rhodes. y'know, considering that she was distressed enough to steal a deadly weapon at 10, maybe don't give her one when she's still a few years shy of being able to actually leave the distressing situation? When the main thing you taught her was how to use the weapon, but "don't do that tho cuz all you'll do is run. K bye". She's still in the same situation, being treated the same way, there is nothing to prevent her mental state from worsening other than " ...one day in the future you'll get to go to school and not get treated unfairly. K bye again". Also, did he not consider it being discovered rather quickly? Like it was? Where would she hide it? What privacy did he think she had?

I disagree with how he handled everything from Day 1, up to and including trying to bring her in but he likely could have accomplished his goal had he attempted to de-escalate the situation and subdued her at the right time.

i totally get having to leave Cinder with her step-family. my only concern with rhodes is that he took out his wea-PONS to fight a child and told her running from an abusive situation is bad, actually. like why is that always regarded as the coward's way out in this show? also what could Cinder now be metaphorically running from? a sense of inferiority?

1,000% agree that the whole "Running from abuse is #bad because you must face every problem head on like a Real Hero!" we sometimes see in storytelling is a terrible message packed with all sorts of problems, but in Cinder's case I think fans forget that Rhodes is specifically talking about running in the context of killing the Madame:

Rhodes: I’ve seen you around and I think it’s safe to say you’re not getting the most fair treatment, yeah? I can’t really blame you for what you’re thinking.

Cinder: You don’t know what I’m--

Rhodes: But hurting them isn’t going to make your life any better. You can run, but you’re going to be running for the rest of your life. Or you could find another way to handle it.

Rhodes isn't just saying the metaphorical, "Don't run from your abuse," he's also saying the literal, "Don't murder someone and then be on the run." Cinder has stolen his weapon and he knows she plans to kill with it. The question isn't whether Cinder should run away, the question is whether Cinder should commit murder and then run away. THAT'S how she's trying to solve the problem of her abuse. Not just by running, but by killing, which is the part Rhodes wants to avoid, helping her to find "another way." And as a huntsmen who has a very limited view of this situation (I also think fans forget that Rhodes doesn't see everything that the audience does. He frames this as "not getting the most fair treatment" because all he's seen is what the Madame is willing to do in public. AKA, nothing too terrible), he's obviously in camp Don't Kill People That's Very Bad.

The second part of this conversation is equally important:

Cinder: Like you? You can do whatever you want, go wherever you want.

Rhodes: Ah... how old are you?

Cinder: Ten.

Rhodes: And you want to be like us? You want to be a Huntress?

[Cinder nods]

Rhodes: Then we’ve got about seven years.

The fandom, both through just legit faulty memory as well as a desire to paint every character they dislike as black and white Bad, has inarticulately boiled the situation down to something it wasn't. The fandom remembers this as Cinder wanting to run away, Rhodes totally having the ability to sweep her off to safety, but he refuses and instead forces Cinder to endure seven more years of torture for the hell of it. In reality though, Cinder wanted to kill her family, Rhodes stopped her, he gives no indication that he can/is willing to essentially kidnap this child whose situation, based on dialogue, he doesn't realize is as horrific as it actually is, Cinder expresses a desire to leave but she also dictates the limitation that's stopping her (she can't go wherever she wants like a huntsmen can because she has no power. AKA combat ability), so Rhodes provides the solution: I'll make you a huntsmen. I'll give you that power.

That's what it boils down to. Cinder goes, 'I wish I had the freedom of a huntsmen' to which Rhodes responds, 'Cool, I'll make you a huntress.' Cinder never asks him to help her run away and Rhodes never tells her that's bad outside the specific context of murdering to get there. Cinder recognizes that flight isn't an option without resources, so Rhodes provides the resource: his training.

So yeah, as said and agreed upon there are reasons he left her there. But there are also reasons why he cautions against running, ones that exist specifically within the context of Cinder solving her abuse with murder. I mean, people will never agree on whether that's justified or not - personally, it's too complex an issue for me to make any blanket claims - but the important thing here is that Rhodes believes that killing people, even in self-defense against abuse, is both morally wrong and, as he emphasizes, bad for the victim too. That's why when Cinder claims she doesn't have to run anymore now that her abusers are dead, Rhodes disagrees and says that's "all you'll ever do." Taking those lives might have freed Cinder from their physical hold on her, but emotionally/spiritually/morally/soul-y/whatever it's harmed her in a way she'll never fully recover from. Which, again, we might not agree with that message, some people might go, "Fuck that, killing your abusers is great and I'd be just fine afterwards!", but that's not the message RWBY is interested in upholding. This is a show that's trying to send a message of peace and cooperation (no matter how badly it's messed that up recently), so of course RWBY isn't going to be team Killing is Fine, Actually. The show isn't self-aware enough to realize when it's fumbled that message, but that doesn't mean it's not upholding it elsewhere, and if that's a message the audience doesn't like... they're watching the wrong kind of show. I don't mean that as an insult, just as a simple statement of fact. Some shows grapple with the complexities of killing. Others do not. It's not wrong for a show to take a moral position and maintain it even through extreme situations. Insert the similar, "I can't believe Steven Universe had him forgive literal, genocidal dictators. What do you mean this is a kid's show? What do you mean there's a moral code driving the entire series that is not beholden to the messiness of real world, ethical dilemmas because it's a fiction about magical space rocks? What do you mean this is all built on generations of storytelling where the Pure-Hearted Hero (or the simple soul...) forgives even the most heinous of crimes to instill an ethical perspective that, while not literally applicable to daily life, helps teach viewers to approach others with an open mind and the benefit of the doubt?"

So RWBY says that killing is bad and, lo and behold, when the villain kills people things get worse. Cinder does not heal after murdering her abusers. It does not bring her peace. She is not free. Metaphorically and literally, she never stops running. She becomes a career criminal, is incapable of forming any true relationships, and most importantly, walks back into an abusive relationship (with Salem) because that's all she knows. Rhodes tries, however messily and fraught with mistakes, to lead Cinder away from that path, encouraging her to become a huntress who leaves her abuse without taking life and instead devotes herself to helping others, allowing herself to heal in turn. Instead, Cinder chooses violence - or more accurately, chooses power - and it's done nothing to serve her in the way she hoped it would. In the real world we'll always continue to debate whether it's justified/morally right/healthy/etc. for an abuse victim to kill their abusers in self-defense, but in RWBY's world, in this fictional world, taking that action is framed as a massive mistake.

Which is why Rhodes pulls his weapons on Cinder. Honestly, I don't have a problem with that like so many others do. Firstly because she's fully trained now. She wins. This isn't a fighter attacking a child anymore, it's a fighter facing off against another who, plot twist because power scaling doesn't exist in this show, is somehow better. If we can accept hero Ruby at 15 leading huntsmen in battle, we can accept 15-ish Cinder defending herself for her crime. This has always been a problem with RWBY: accepting the characters' ages for one thing, but not another. Either we run with the idea of child fighters or we don't. If Cinder is a child who Rhodes shouldn't fight then, sorry, but our title protagonist shouldn't be out fighting either.

Second, it's by no means unprovoked. Again, so much of this comes down to whether we think Cinder's murders were justified, but Rhode's moral code as a huntsmen says he needs to take her in. It's the same sort of situation Clover faced: follow an arrest order, or let the (potential) criminal go free because you have a bond with them? For me, given that RWBY is a world FILLED with villainy and subterfuge, I can't ever fault a character for playing it safe. Clover doesn't know who's working with Salem. Rhodes doesn't know if Cinder is going to hurt anyone else. Neither of them are trying to kill the person in question, just get them into the justice system, and too often fans map our own flawed systems onto RWBY's world and assume that an arrest equals police brutality, or a rigged sentencing, or the person disappearing into some black hole of the government. All Rhodes did though was look at someone who'd just murdered three people and went, "I can't let you walk away from that" and... yeah. Hard agree.

Especially because third, Cinder killed two innocents. The sisters were not her abusers, they were her bullies. It's an important distinction (and I say that as someone who suffered a LOT of bullying as a kid). They're shown to be roughly, if not exactly the same age. They've grown up modeling their mother's behavior with no one to teach them differently. Their attacks on Cinder consist of meanly eating strawberries and leaving muddy footprints for her to clean. That's in no way comparable to a shock collar. I might have a different opinion of Rhodes going into full arrest mode if Cinder had only killed the Madame, especially if it still happened in the heat of her torture with that collar. As it stands though, Cinder started with the sisters. To me, that's a crime in a way killing the Madame is arguably not. RWBY could have framed this as Cinder only killing someone who truly deserved it and being tragically punished for her self-defense. However, RWBY instead went the route of Cinder being eager to kill from the get-go, taking out her abuser, and those around her who were never a true threat to her. Oh, and then when the consequences show up, Cinder decides to kill her mentor too. She could have laid down her weapon and allowed herself to be arrested (flashback to Ruby fighting the Ace Ops...) If this was really just about freeing herself from the abuse, Cinder could have taken the Madame's life, thrown the sword aside, and accepted whatever her life would be now because at least it's not the horror she was living. Instead, Cinder chose to kill the one person who had ever been kind to her. That's not Tragic Abused Child Making Ethically Dubious Decisions territory, that's Classic Villain in the Making territory. Which we obviously know given that Cinder is a villain who loves killing for the hell of it, but Rhodes was getting a glimpse of that too when he walked in on a massacre. Actually, it's kinda funny how audience knowledge tends to inform fan readings except when it's supposed to. Idk, but I'm not sure how anyone can look at future Burned Beacon, Killed Pyrrha, Stabbed Weiss, Serves RWBY's Devil Equivalent in Her Efforts to Destroy the World, and Successfully Helped to Perma-Kill Penny + 'Kill' the Title Team Cinder Fall and go, "I can't believe a huntsmen would try to fight her!" She's the bad guy. Literally our first episode is a soon-to-be huntress fighting her. The fact that Rhodes fought her early is just a way for him to thematically recognize what she'd become. Because she stole his weapon and wanted to #murder with it. And then she did that. And then she killed him. RWBY gave Cinder her expected, tragic backstory, but she's still the villain. The villain does villainous things and the good guys (huntsmen like Rhodes) try to stop her. That's the story.

Lemme tell ya. Which ones did you check out, for curiosities sake. I've personally not found any of them better than the series proper. I'm entertained when listening to them? But definitely not moreso than say, the audio book versions of the E.C. Meyers novels. Those are fire, whereas most rewrites are like audio book versions of a mid au fanfic

I watched some RWBY rewrite videos just to see what they had to say and why were literally almost all of them bad 😭 writing is not easy and y’all need to stop having this “it’s bad writing because it didn’t happen like I wanted it to happen” mindset about the show.
