#as it seems the fndm's nature is to be Intensely Serious That This Specific Thing Will Happen at times

[littlecactiguy]

I’m not saying Ruby getting separated from mini Weiss, Blake, and Yang (perhaps during a confrontation/conflict of some kind) is going to happen, but I’m not not saying that it would be a way to bring her to her absolute lowest point.

Currently Ruby isn’t in a good headspace, but she still has something to hold onto, her team and Little.  If she loses them (and thinks it’s her fault, either bc of how she loses them or bc it was her idea to play the Red Prince’s game that got them shrunk in the first place) and ends up alone, I don’t think she’s going to be making good decisions.  Plus the weather mirrors her emotions, so, you know, giant stormy weather potentially too.

Somewhat on topic, but writing this out made me think of fairy tales where the princess has to be rescued (think Sleeping Beauty in her castle surrounded by sharp thorns etc), except a twist on that.  Ruby is the one holding herself prisoner in the middle of a maelstrom, her team is trying to fight through it to get to her, but she’s not letting them get close.  The only way to resolve it is for her, probably with their help, to address the underlying emotional issues causing it.

Ergo, endgame Volume Finale Battle: WBY vs. Ruby

(as always I function at 50% serious and 50% ‘is a clown’)
