                                          Episode 2: Uncovered  

                               -SUPER LONG POST. SPOILERS-

*There may be typos, incorrect spelling, and bad grammar due to me trying to rush this and episode 3. Bare with me plz. The amount of gifs made for this was overkill and will lighten them up in the next post. Also, I will be referring to these posts as commentary since that’s what they mostly are and not reviews/reactions. Without further ado:

-Fade in from black-

~Ah Haaa ahhh ahhh Ahhh Ahhhhhhh~

So Cinder’s still alive. Not surprised tbh because of the intro.

Wait. So you’re telling me. That the vault to one of the Relics, a vault that has a gate to another dimension, is now wide open to walk in now? Oz, how about a little bit of house keeping?  Oh I don’t know, maybe have some thicker walls or something???

Welp. That’s a shame. Another one bites the Dust. Poor lady didn't deserve that fate.

“We need to take the Relic to Atlas?”

I said it before, poor child had barely escaped now they have to go back.

Blake ready to throw Weiss under the bus LOL. I felt some snark coming from her haha.

“Ex-Heiress, actually.” That volume one throw back.

YANG IS ON BOARD THE “THROW THE WEISS UNDER THE BUS” TRAIN. Poor Weiss LOL. 

Just look at her.  ¯\_(~‿^)_/¯

The Lantern can answer any questions? Any 3 questions? So it’s like. Knowledge is power kind of thing? I guess you could say that. The Lantern’s magic is quite. Enlightening.

JESUS FUCk, NORA PLEASE.

OH MY GOD, NORA PLEASE. Your Yandere is showing.

Nora has the best characterization. So full of energy. So full of Mood.

Yang in there, Yang.

Oscar, the MVP, is on board the “Throwing People Under the Bus” Train, now featuring Ozpin.

“Do you really think Leo was the first? That he didn’t say those exact same words to me? I’m sorry, but you have to understand my behavior is backed by experience.”

I have to say Oz has it rough. Having lived multiple times only to have close allies betray him, multiple times he implies. I don’t blame him for walling himself off from others. But at the same time, his approach could be. Better? I’m not saying he should entirely trust Team RWBY, but he should really tell them all the important details of, well, everything, if he’s to lead them to stopping Salem in whatever the fuck she plans to do with the Relics.

Also shout out to Aaron Dismuke for such great voice acting on this part for Oscar/Ozpin. The way he said “Do you really think Leo was the first?” shook me.

What’s really strange about this part is that Ozpin forgot about the Relic. Like it’s very important to keep an eye on this thing right? I found it surprising that he didn’t realize he no longer had it on him for such a long time. Sure, he might have been distracted, but I feel like his priorities were kind of “Relic first” ya know?

Wtf, he’s still hiding more shit??? Oscar what are you doing.

“Her name is Jinn”? 

WHO IS “HER”? AND “JINN” LIKE A DJINN? LIKE. A GENIE?

If there was ever a time for a more mature/vulgar dialogue for Team RWBY, 

It would be, RIGHT ABOUT NOW.

 BECAUSE:

ITS. FUCKING. GENIE.

TEN THOUSSANNNNNNNDDDDD YEARRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSS CAN LEAVE SUCHA CRICK IN THE NECK. RUBY ROSE, YOU AINT NEVER HAD A FRIEND LIKE ME.

(I think this is just me but her eyes make me feel uncomfortable. I think its the lashes..??? They look SUPER huge???)

ME TOO RUBY. ME TOO.

Qrow, you don’t have to pretend to be so modest. 

So where did Cinder end up exactly? She’s still somewhere in Mistral but this looks like a very Black Market-y kind of place. Also Idk why but she looks good in those clothe- I just remembered she killed someone for them. Hm.

?????SPIDERMAN????

“Looks like your life’s savings.” “It was somebodies.”

I have to admit, that was a good line. Cute indeed.

“Little Miss Malachite”. I’ll be honest I totally forgot about the Little Miss Muffet rhyme. BUT MALACHITE. I can only think of 2 other specific twins with that last name in this show! But it might just be a coincidence... 

So. Okay. What I don’t understand is why is Cinder looking for RWBYJNR. She knows Raven is the Spring Maiden, but she doesn’t know that Raven gave Yang the Relic. Cinder was tossed off the edge before Yang even got down there. If anything Cinder should be looking for Raven since she might be the one with the Relic.

Hm but I guess if Raven betrayed Cinder, then Cinder could assume Raven was working with the opposing party. Hmm...

I get she got her ass whooped by Raven and is a bit jumpy, but Cinder, you’re basically an Avatar. You could wipe the floor with anyone in that building. It was implied that her powers got weakened after she crawled out of the water, but by how much? And was that even the Maiden’s power or her own semblance?

Information trade is a business. SO SOMEONE MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR CINDER.

So the first I want to bring up (with the ordering not being important) are the Malachite twins, Melanie & Miltiades Malachite. I bring this up first cuz I feel like this is the unlikely people or group looking for Cinder. Despite, again, both Little Miss and the Twins share a “last name”, I doubt they’re linked in any way. I mean one is here in Mistral while the other in Vale. The only connection the Twins would have with Cinder is Roman. And of course we see Roman’s hat fly by Cinder in the OP.

SO SECOND, which I believe is on most people’s mind is NEO. The next closest, and probably the closest person connected to Roman is probably the one looking for Cinder, since she, too, has worked for Cinder. And we don’t know if Neo actually knows what happened to Roman since she flew off the airship. And the only 2 people that might know would be Ruby Rose or Cinder Fall. And perhaps Neo has been trying to track down Ruby all the way to Mistral. But now that Ruby and the gang are leaving the continent, but Cinder is still in town, it might be easier to go after Cinder instead.

Just bring back my Neopolitan.

OKAY SO. JINN. GOD OF LIGHT. 3 QUESTIONS. But luckily, there’s 2 left. 

So, one, what the fuck Oz? Why you lying? WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL OF THE QUESTIONS ALREADY BEING USED UP???

Two: WHAT WAS THE FIRST QUESTION??? 

Three: GOD OF LIGHT??? Is this God one of the Brothers Grimm???

Again, I feel bad for Oz, but at the same time I still think he should’ve said more about, again, everything, to prevent

This. I understand keeping some deep dark secrets to yourself, but if the world is at jeopardy, then mayyybeee some of those secrets should be brought into light??? I mean look, Yang Weiss and Blake are already, and literally, up in arms. If Oz had shared more, then this situation couldve been avoided, or at the very least, diffused.

Also, Team ‘Protect Ruby Rose at ALL COSTS”

If I were Qrow, and I too, were kept in the dark, I would want to know more about everything as well. And I’m sure he trusts his niece to do the right thing.

That was quite a visceral scream.

Oz, what were you even planning to do to Ruby? Like???

Also looks like Ruby took the Red Pill cuz welcome to the fucking Matrix.

-Shameless self made gif insert- but then again arent all these gif self made?

SALEM. 

DID OZ LOCK HER UP IN THE TOWER? WHO IS SALEM REALLY?? MAY YOU SUMMON ME A CHEEZBORGER??? 

THESE ARE MY 3 QUESTIONS, JINN. PLEASE. IM HUNGRY.

Aside from answering virtually any question and granting people an AR replay, can Jinn do any other sort of magical things? Cuz if she can conjur up some food.  👌 👌 👌

                                           Episode 1: Argus Limited  

                                      -SUPER LONG POST. SPOILERS-

LETS START OFF WITH SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT:

SMILES. When the girls smile, I smile. It’s such a good feeling.

“LONG. LIVE. THE KING.”

...Anyone else feel like having some soft serve right about now? A soft serving of White Rose-

It’s funny because while watching this part in the theater, I think everyone unanimously said in a whisper: “what the fuck was that?” and then laughed. Cuz I know I did LOL.

Keep crying Adam.

Vale is still fucked up, confirmed.

Honestly look at her. How can you not smile.

...Is. Is it Yang’s birthday or something?

You know, if I didn't know any better, I would’ve said Nora’s semblance is instant-posing and teleportation.

AND THE THEATER GOES WILD.

Honestly though, poor Weiss. Breaking out just to. Go back in.

Ugh. LOL. Im sorry, that IS my reaction still. 

LIKE. LOOK. THEY FEEL THE SAME TOO.

...Weiss is packing the most, but. She FLED Atlas. How much could she possibly have- DIDNT SHE RUN OFF WITH JUST ONE BRIEF CASE???

Indeed Sisters.

Take a moment and enjoy the facial expressions.

More happy/excited Ruby. There’s never enough.

Ooo Ilia with some new threads, very nice~ Also that piano version of Smile. My heart.

DID SHE JUS-

Oh. Of course she didn’t. YOU CANT JUST SETUP A SHOT LIKE THAT. THAT’S THE UNIVERSAL “Tippy toe kiss off screen” SHOT.

Sun’s turn to say goodby-

NEPTUNE. WOOO. THE BRO-SEIDON. This is a meme in the making. Also where are Neptune’s legs.

Sun is me, Neptune is my brain trying to tell me to do things.

Neptune. Don’t. She doesn’t. (But look at her though, look how cute.)

Welp, there he goes.

The poor useless noodle. LOOK AT BLAKE. SHE WANTED TO STOP HIM BUT. LOL.

Sun is such a good boi. Like. He just wanted to help Blake, help her to realize it’s okay to have her friends’ help. And now:

She’s back with her team.

BUT WHAT’S THIS???

AND THE THEATER GOES: WOOOOOO!!!

See you in Volume 7/8, Team SSSN. Seriously. Scarlet. Sage. It’s over due time. 

THE GANG IS BACK TOGETHER. IT’S LIKE THEIR DORM ROOM. AHHH-

Blake. It’s okay. You really don’t have to do that. Yang is fine. 

UGHHH YANG, YOU BEAUTIFUL SOUL. 

The team is just happy that they’re back together again. And I think everyone is too.

I, too, would whoop my niece’s butt in video games. It’s not like shes almost 2 years old or anything.

Yang is. Always. ARMED AND READY.

Now you see him.

...Now you don’t.

...O-Oh. Did. Did he actually just die? Oh shit.

OH.

GOD.

NO. 

I. I feel bad now.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE RELIC ATTRACTS THE GRIMM??? The team had all the right to be angry.

...How strong is Gambol Shroud and Blake? One swipe to be able to decouple a caboose? Also, throw back to the Black Trail-

Speaking of the Black Trailer.

Oof. Not the kind of memories you want to remember.

Does Oscar’s/Ozpin’s fighting style make anyone think of Sora from Kingdom Hearts had he gone with a one handed fighting style?

THE DUEL SCYTHE ACTION. YAS.

Team RWBY: OH GOD, IT’S VOLUME 2. NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN.

Well, at least there’s no Grimm this time.

AYE ITS KATARA. #WaterTribe

OPENING REVIEW:

Blake and Ruby look really bad ass in this shot. Composition people.

Im guessing based off the credits, this character’s name is Maria Calavera?

There was a post I saw a few days ago speculating that Maria was once a warrior with Silver eyes, much like Ruby. IS SHE GOING TO TEACH AND EXPLAIN THE POWERS OF SILVER EYES TO RUBY? FINALLY? WILL RUBY BE THE NEXT AVATAR? 

Who’s this hooded figure? Getting more Kingdom Hearts vibes again-

YOU DON’T KNOW HOW LOUD I ACTUALLY GASPED WHEN I SAW ROMAN’S HAT. LIKE I DONT THINK IVE EVER GASPED BEFORE IN MY LIFE. EVER.

“Who is this hooded figur- wait, that’s RoMAN’S- *GASPS* IS THAT NEO!?” PLEASE. BRING MY ICE CREAM ASS KICKER BACK.

But. Upon more observation, there’s 2 things to account for:

The skeleton like left hand. Perhaps a Grimm left hand. Though it is missing the dark Grimmy aspect to it.

The hand and the sword:

Welp, there goes the Neo aspect.

BUT WAIT. What if it was Neo who had Roman’s hat, and it’s NEO’s perspective that we’re seeing. NEO OUT FOR REVENGE FOR ROMAN? WHETHER IT BE CINDER OR RUBY???

...Neo has Silver eyes too, right?

There’s so much gay energy coming from this LOL. WHY WOULD WEISS BE RUNNING FROM RUBY WITH SUCH A HAPPy LOOKING EXPRESSION. ITS NOT LIKE HER??? LOL.

:(

Is that Zelda?

Local boy beats up Farm boy.

LOOK AT THIS TEAM. A GOOD START TO THE VOLUME.

[essu-rwby-desu]

                                 Chapter 4: Lighting the Fire Reaction  

                                                    -LONG POST-

ITS SO COLD IT BURNS SO GOOD. (?????)

THE FASTEST IVE PROBABLY PUT OUT A REACTION POST BECAUSE HOLY SHIT BALLS, MOM.

“You wait here, I’ll go check if the coast is clear.”

Yang is totally not buying into your bullshit, buddy.

Better get ready, just in cas-. THE GLOVE. AND THE ASS CAPES ARE COMING OFF.

You know what would be neat? Since Yang is kind of the ‘tank’ in the group, her new arm could use like, oh I don’t know, maybe a small shield?

“I can’t believe you were dumb enough to let me lead you here.”

Sorry buddy, but you’re the dumb one for leading her there.

They’re scared of the small barrel popping out of her right arm? I’d be more terrified of her, oh, I don’t know, HER OTHER ARM WITH A BELT FULL OF SHOTGUN SHELLS???

…Or maybe they’re all surprised because “OH, IT’S ALSO A GUN.”

LOOK AT THIS STRUT.

See, a small shield would be nice, but I guess she’s still fending off the bullets.

This string and percussion version of I Burn tho.

LOOK AT THIS BAKUGO ASS MOVE THO. APPROVE.

AND THEN THIS SLOW GUITAR OF ARMED AND READY.

You mess with the wrong bird, and I don’t mean Yang.

Ruby, please, you can-

RUBY, YOU LITTLE SHIT.

AND AT THIS MOMENT, OSCAR KNEW, HE FUCKED UP.

SMASH.

“You forgot to engage your aura, again.”

“WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?!”

“Because this method makes you less likely to forget.”

I mean. Oz isn’t wrong. But.

“Not bad, Ms. Rose. But Oscar doesn’t have the years of training that you do. Or I do.”

HACKS ON. ENTERING THE AVATAR STATE.

THIS IS WHAT FEAR LOOKS LIKE. AT THIS MOMENT, RUBY KNEW. SHE WAS GONNA GET FUCKED UP.

YOU’RE A THOUSAND YEARS TOO EARLY TO BE FIGHTING ME. 

Like. Literally a thousand years. Or more. Cuz Ozpin is apparently fucking immortal.

Sometimes I feel like everyone should rewatch the episode just for like, not necessarily screen shots, but to look for frames like these. Like. Even though it’s a straight forward shot, this is a nice shot.

Does anyone else do this in real life? I mean the whole talk and look at the person with one open eye thing. Me only? Ok, let’s just. Keep moving forward.

Idk why, but when Nora said Ren’s semblance can mask emtions, I immediately started playing Reflections from Mulan in my head. It really has nothing to do with the fact that Ren is supposed to be designed off of the idea of Mulan. Or maybe I did subconsciously. Hm. The song has NOTHING to do with his semblance either! Brain, what are you doing.

Two songs from Mulan in 2 review posts. And I haven’t watched the movie in ages.

WHOOOOOOOOOO ISSSSSSS THAT GIRRRRRRRRLLLLLLL I SSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE-

MORE POSITIVE REIGNFORCEMENT RUBY. YES.

5 Volumes in and we get an in-show description of what Semblances are. I know they talked about it in the World of Remnant shorts, but they were just that: Short. It’s nice to have it actually explained in the show since not many of us watched the short seri-

“Oh. Struck by lightning, didn’t die, Crazzzzzzy Thursday/”

NORA. PLEASE.

“Unlocking your semblance isn’t the end. It can still grow and evolve.”

HMMMM.

Just because Ruby.

THEY’RE. THEY HAVE GOT TO BE WITHIN 50 FT OF EACH OTHER BY THIS POINT.

OK. She’s opting for the stealth escape route.

THE LITTLE *DINK* SOUND EFFECT IT MADE. OMG. HAHAHAHA. YOU CAN DO IT LITTLE BUDDY. YOU’RE DOING GREAT.

“So after all this time, you decided to visit me.”

Mother- What?! YANG DIDN’T EVEN KNOW WHERE YOU WERE. IT’S NOT LIKE YOU WERE AT A RETIREMENT HOME OR SOMETHING?

“They started it.”

I heard this and was like “HAH. Like how a kid would try to make an excuse to their parent.”

“I’m not here for you. Ruby is somewhere in Mistral. She’s with Qrow and she’s going to need my help. I just need you to take me to her.”

You know, I get the feeling that a lot of people are gonna be like

“YOU FINALLY FOUND YOUR MOM. THE PERSON YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR, FOR YEARS. AND YOU’RE JUST GONNA ASK HER TO TAKE YOU TO RUBY? DON’T YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY OR ASK?”

I do feel that to a certain extent, but at the same time I feel like Yang may also have grown out of it. Whatever the reason she had for looking for her mom before isn’t the same now. Yang obviously has questions for Raven, but she also knows how important it is to find Ruby, and she probably feels like that outweighs whatever personal things she has with her mom, it just so happens that Raven was also the answer to finding Ruby.

And besides. Yang now knows where Raven’s camp is. I suppose she could just come back, albeit she may not be welcomed with open arms. Or arm. Just the one. I’m sorry.

“Because we’re family.”

OHHHH, GET FUCKED, RAVEN. Your own daughter throwing that sarcastic shade at you.

So we’ve seen what Raven’s semblances is, but not how it works, until now. She ‘bonds to certain people’ and can make warp gates to them. Yang says that she has her, Tai, and Qrow marked.  Yang also says to teleport her to Qrow, NOT Ruby. It could simply be that Raven had no reason to mark Ruby as someone to teleport to, or maybe it’s because Raven can only teleport to people that are close to her: Her Family.

That begin said, Raven seems to not like the whole family thing since she does say “Family - only come around when they need something.” Maybe her semblance was found due to the opposite nature of her personality. Having a semblance that literally takes her back to her family when she has such disdain for the idea does raise a few questions. But I’ll leave it at that.

Yeah. The way her face was animated and sass she threw in with her words. Badass/Evil mom status.

Before we move on I just want to know: What the fuck is that thing on her head? Like. I get it. RAVEN. FEATHERS. BUT LIKE. WHAT. IS THAT? Is it just like one giant super long hair extension or is that literally all part of her hair?

I laughed. SO HARD. At how long this shot was held for. Like.

Oh. Hi. Uhmmm. Uhh. Hello?

“Yang?????”

“…WHYiss you here?!”

THERE IT IS. FIRST CONTACT. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-

THE ILLUSION OF CHOICE IN VIDEO GAMES: CHOOSE STEALTH OR BUST OUT? OH YOU CHOSE STEALTH? TOO BAD, YOU’RE GOING TO BUST THE HELL OUT.

YASSSSSSS. IDC IF YALL HAVE SEEN GIFS AND SCREENSHOTS OF THIS ALREADY, THIS IS V IMPORTANT.

W: “What are you doing here?”

Y: “Well. That’s my mom. And she can take us to Ruby.”

-Slowly taking in what Yang just said.-

“That’s my mom.”

“That’s…

My….

…mom.” ?!?!?!?!?!?!

“… uhhhhhhh”

 Never in my life have I thought I would hear those words. In any form of media.

Also let’s not forget that Raven straight up curb stomped Weiss in the face.

W: “YOUR MOM CURBED STOMPED ME. SHE KICKED ME IN THE FACE.”

Y: “… YOU DID WHAT!?”

Weiss’s knight could EASILY cleave through half that camp at that size. Jeez.

Spring Maiden putting a halt to this BS.

Weiss giving that stern anime look and pose.

“If you’re really going after your sister, then you need to know the truth.”

HMMMM. OKAY. SO HERE’S ANOTHER CHOSE YOUR ADVENTURE MOMENT:

So we know everything’s that been going on with Salem and Cinder and Ozpin and yaddie yaddie yadda. So once Raven tells Yang and Weiss everything, what’s going to happen? Are they still going to regroup with Ruby and join her with Qrow to fight against Salem’s assault on Haven with the White Fang? Or are Weiss and Yang going to try and convince Ruby to pull away from Haven because shit is about to get real and they shouldn’t haven’t to deal with it?

I HIGHLY doubt that Raven is going to tell them about how literally the Spring Maiden is within the camp grounds. But if she does, then??? Do the 2 of them stay? Or will Raven teleport Yang and Weiss, just to then later pick up camp and move to a new location? Cuz by then EVERYONES gonna know who and where the Spring Maiden is.

SO MANY POSSIBILITIES. 

YES. FUCKING. FINALLY. YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. ONE OF THE MANY MOMENTS WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

I TEAR UP. EVERY TIME. AND IT DOESN’T HELP THAT THE BACKGROUND SONG IS “HOME”.

-UGLY HYSTERICAL SOBS-

I maybe reading into this too much, cuz you know, emotions rising, and with knowing the lyrics to the song, I want to talk about the symbolism in this last shot.

Weiss has gotten quite a bit of development coming from Volume 4 to now. And in my opinion, it started all when she was able to successfully summon her knight. 

After being told she was no longer the heiress to her family’s company, she was held against her will to stay in her room. As soon as she was able to summon her knight, she decided to take action. She was able to escape with the help of Klein. He was probably going to be the last trust worthy person she knows that she’s going to see in a while. Even while doing so, she’s had her guard up the whole time because she knew she’s no longer in a safe place. All the way up to being captured by bandits, she still shows initiative to get out. 

Then she reunites with Yang. She has finally found someone she cares and trusts. Someone she probably considers as part of her family, the family being Team RWBY. So the knight fading away in this last shot is visual representation of Weiss finally letting her guard down because now she’s with family. AND WHERE DO YOU USUALLY FIND FAMILY? HOME. THE TITLE OF THE SONG THAT’S PLAYING. AND I JUSTLKSA:LSKDJA:SLKJDWOIASK jEXCUSE ME WHILE I GO REPLAY THIS SCENE FOR THE REST OF TIME UNTIL MORE OF THE TEAM GETS BACK TOGETHER.

TL;DR: Weiss’s knight fading away at the end of this scene is the visual representation of  Weiss finally letting her guard down now that she’s found Yang; a team mate, a friend, a person she might consider as family.

But I may just be reading into this too much. I MEAN HOW COULD YOU NOT?

GIVE ME THE NEXT EPISODE, PLEASE ;A;

P.S.:

I SUPPORT

SMOLS GETTING HUGS FROM SWOLS.

[essu-rwby-desu]

                                                       HERE IT IS.

                               Chapter 1: Welcome to Haven Reaction  

                                                    -LONG POST-

 First I want to say:

I love that they’re putting art back into the show.

URARAKA?!

So they’re obviously going to head to where ever that broadcast is coming from right? I mean if the pilot doesn’t go, Weiss certainly will.

I MEAN.

SHE CAN SUMMON HER KNIGHT NOW RIGHT?

CAN SHE SUMMON OTHER THINGS?

LIKE.  A GRYPHON? OR A NEVERMORE?

SHE COULD HOP ON THEM AND FLY THERE?

AND HOW MANY GRIMMS CAN SHE SUMMON AT ONCE? In Weiss’s character trailer, Winter was able to summon a handful of Beowolves to help her train. And when she was fighting Qrow, she summoned a bunch of tiny Nevermores.

WEISS COULD BE A ONE WOMAN ARMY. I’VE HAD THIS THOUGHT SINCE V3.

I’m really digging the building designs.

Hmmm. Wasn’t there a similar courtyard like this back at Beacon? If there was, then its a nice tie-in to connect all the schools via design.

“Maybe try…louder?” I can’t tell if she’s sarcastic or not, but because it’s Nora I feel like she was genuinely suggesting to go louder. Best.

I noticed this camera focus and was like “Nice.” /Facepalm I’m such a dork. TECHNICAL STUFF IS COOL, OKAY? I’m also sorry for the terrible screenshots. Idk wtf happened.

Lulz

“You… Filled them in?” Excuse me while I go wash my brain out with soap.

Nora has best lines this episode.

“Total Garbage.” Is what Sun said. “THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT!” is what I heard.

DEEZ FACES THO.

WAO, LOOK AT-

-DAT ARMOR.

RWBY has come such a long way with voice acting, and Ilia is no exception. Very convincing, much emotion. Especially with her last line: “I know.”

I really. Really can’t help it but.

Every time I see Blake’s shirt with those crossing stripes, I always think “That’s gonna leave a a weird tan line.”

Ruby screen time and lines TvT

Get the feeling class courses and materials weren’t the only reasons why he quit teaching.

Winter For Creation, Summer For Destruction, Fall for Choice, Spring for Knowledge

I find it a bit strange and bit interesting about the Maiden’s respective relics.

For example, Fall’s is Choice. Pyrrha was elected to become the next Fall Maiden. Even though Oz and the rest felt like she was the perfect candidate, she still could’ve declined and walked away. Instead, she accepts to inherit the new power, not because she wanted to, but because she felt it was the right thing to do. On the flip side: From what we know about Maiden’s and their powers, they can only pass the powers onto a new person to someone they think of before their time ends. Cinder had successfully stolen the Fall Maiden’s power; Both times when she first initially attacked her and again at the chamber where the Maiden was kept alive. Cinder had taken the Fall Maiden’s ability to choose who to pass her powers onto.

Now we know that the Spring Maiden is Knowledge. So how will it work for and against her? Did knowing what a Maiden was excite her and motivate her to train her powers? And did obtaining more knowledge and understanding the importance of being a Maiden cause her to eventually run away?

Shit son, stay tuned for the next episode of RWBY Volume 5.

Back to the rest of the post:

THE SPRING MAIDEN IS KICKIN’ IT WITH YANGS MA-MA!?

ONE SHOT. ONE OPPORTUNITY. OR RAVEN GONNA SLICE YOU UP INTO SPAGHETTI.

Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury all forged their papers to get into Haven. Feel the burn, Jaune. Get on their forgery level.

-In Michael’s voice- A lion?! MORE LIKE A RAT, YOUUUUU RAT FUCK.

Qrow, please. I know you were designed to have crow-alities, but your back. Plz. Looking like you’re straight out of a Persona game.  Guess you could say Qrow is the Persona-fication of a crow- ok ok I’m moving on.

Shout out to the Yellow Trailer. Speaking of trailers, Yang’s character short reaction thing at the bottom. Short and sweet.

Dude, the 80’s called, they want their entire look back. -Take on Me plays in the BG-

”Not too bulky, not too lean.”

“Just right.” Ah, Goldie Lockes- wait a minute, what was this gas station calle-

G’damn it, Barb.

”And your hair-“

Ok first of all, she doesn’t want anything to do with you, buddy. Second, what makes you think, after telling you off, that she wants you to touch her in any way?

And third:

I hope you’re ready to live with the consequences.

Get wrecked.

Rest in pieces.

See’ya, space cowboy.

Back to Yang:

Still on the road of recovery. You’re doing great sweetie.

“I’m looking for Raven Branwen. She’s my mother. I’m gonna give her the award of The Best Worst Mom Ever. And by ‘reward’, I mean my cold hard metal fist.”

#Mood

“Is there a ruby rose here?”

“Why?” In other words: “Tell me why, right now, before I break your legs.”

LOL. DRUNKLE QROW.

#ThatsMyUncle #Facepalm #Same #NotThisShitAgain #Mood

”Did you get drunk again?”

“Did I? I STILL AM!”

“Oscar, say to Ruby ‘You have Silver eyes.’, it’ll be great, I promise.”

“What the F*CK did you just say? The last person that said that to me got incinerated. Allegedly.”

“Guess what? I lived, b*tch.”

#Mood. Also don’t take up your uncle’s bad back habits, Ruby.

“I DID IT.” I feel like, no matter what or whoever you are, this is the #Mood for even doing the littlest of things.

CINDER IS BACK AND OUT INTO THE FIELD. AND WHOS THIS? IS THIS THE FALL SPRING MAIDEN (Woops, messed that up.)?

I really like this shot of Weiss.

REMATCH I WILL BE WAITING FOR.

I think I’ll be vectoring this screenshot. 

Also, I can only wish that when Weiss summons her knight, it will appear on screen Trigger-like animation style. I can only wish.

AW YIS. THE TEAM IS ALL HERE,

NOW WE CAN DIE TOGETHER.

 You know. When I was at the theater watching this, and we all saw team RWBY back together in the new intro, everyone shouted and hooray’ed in excitement. 

Then.

When this came on the screen, everyone suddenly got quiet.

I don’t think it was because seeing Monty’s name made us sad, but because it made us happy: We were happy, or at least I was, to see how far this show has come. In a way, it was also out of respect with a humbling feeling.

 BONUS: YANG’S TRAILER REACTION:

LOOK AT HOW PURE RUBY IS.

The fighting/choreographing has gotten better!

#FeelsBadMan

CLENCH THOSE BUTTOCKS.

AND SCREAM THIS, FROM THE DEPTHS OF YOUR HEART.

SMMMMAAAAASSSSSSSSSH!!!!!

–You Say Run goes with everything–

If you made it all the way to the end, you’re a legend. Thanks for sticking all the way through this long post. The episodes have become so long now, so reaction posts will be inevitably long as well. I would do videos, but after attempting to do lets plays and stuff, man I hate my voice (and even worse my own face LOL).

Anyway thanks again, and I hope you enjoyed!

ALRIGHT I’VE BEEN SUPER DELAYED BUT HERE WE GO:

LOOK HOW ADORBS.

Sun. My Boi. Even though you’re technically a support character, you given so much god damn support.

“We have been able to ascertain that Adam Taurus-

is an absolute fuck.”

“We must go to Haven and protect it at all costs!” Uhhh.

Uhm. Hmm. Going to war… doesn’t sound like a good idea tbh.

“Before we proceed any further, I’d like to invite my daughter to share her story-“

-INTERNAL PANIC- “(DAD NO. NOT PUBLIC SPEAKING. WE DIDN’T AGREE TO THIS.)”

Ilia does make some valid points.

Hm. So maybe. Just maybe. Something happens later like the White Fang actually showing up on Menagerie. Shit happens and Blake is caught up in a civil war between the faunas groups. Then maybe in at the end of it, they see that the current White Fang really needs to be stopped and then form a coalition and send an army/fleet to Haven to prevent the school from falling like Beacon? And that’s how Blake and Sun end up going to Haven!

Maybe.

Everyone's like “LOOK AT THIS LITTLE SHIT.”

If I were in Oscar’s shoes, I’d be so uncomfortable…

Post-Drunk Qrow is actually quite considerate.

Look at these kids. They’re already posing for their next poster.

That little chuckle. How adorable.

MAGICAL GIRL TRANSFORMA- Never mind sorry.

This screen shot: Mood. Same. I am both.

So. Will this be Professors Ozpin’s final form? Find out next time, on Drago-

“I am the combination of countless men that spent their lives trying to protect the people of Remnant. With every rebirth, my soul is merged with another, and I am changed, but my memories stay with me.”

Similar, but nothing like One-For-All. K got it. Too bad it didn’t come with super strength, Oz.

 Weiss, my child…

WHO AH YOU!?

I mean. Obviously they’re gonna ransom her to get money from her dear papa. Pretty standard bandit thing to do, I suppose.

Aw yis. Big sis to the rescue!

Orrrr not. The entire Atlas military has gone home. BUT WEISS CAN STILL TOTALLY BUST OUT ON HER OWN. NO PROBLEM.

“THIS IS PERFECT!” Whoa geez, throw back to Volume 1.

I love Nora.

“Leo isn’t following instructions? Shit aint right.” Is pretty much what Ozpin said.

Nora and Ruby always seem to have the best facial reactions whenever it’s just their faces visually shown in a shot.

Not complaining for course.

“Getting you four into fighting shape!”

BE A MAN

WE MUST BE SWIFT AS THE COURSING RIVER

WITH ALL THE FORCE OF A GREAT TYPHOON 

WITH ALL THE STRENGTH OF A RAGING FIRE 

MYSTERIOUS AS 

THE DARK SIDE OF 

THE MOON-

SHIT.

BUT SERIOUSLY. INC TRAINING MONTAGE.

That being said. If they have a whole month to train, how will the rest of the time line work? I mean Weiss and Yang are nearly about to converge, but how far are they away from Haven? Blake probably will probably need more time to set forth to Haven? But even so, Team RNJR is supposed to go find the Maiden right??? SO??? RNJR AND WEISS AND YANG ARE GONNA MEET UP FIRST????? SUPPOSEDLY????

Aww shit, time to bust out of this joint.

This is the part in a video game where you decide to go stealth and make your way out with your tiny knight to cut off your ties and use the tiny sword to pick the lock,

Orrr have your knight regrow in size and go full Gurren Lagann, and bust out of this business by full force.

Hmm but she still needs to get Myrtenaster back.

HOPE YALL ENJOYED. Quick and simple for this one. SEE YA NEXT TIME.

                                    Chapter 2: Dread in the Air Reaction  

                                                    -LONG POST-

LETTTTS GOOOOO!

GEOFFRY~ (If you’re an Achievement Hunter fan, then you know how it sounds when they say it. Also could you imagine Geoff actually voicing Wats or Arthur or whatever his name is?)

Ah I get it. Cowardly Lion. Ozpin. Glynda Goodwitch. Wizard of Oz. HARHARHARHAR- 

That being said, is Ironwood really suppose to be the Tin man? Cuz there’s two more schools left and that leaves enough room for Tin man and Scarecrow. I MEAN IM JUST SAYIN’.

-Insert anything that Geoff Ramsey might say- 

“Anime was a mistake.” I’ll just leave it at that.

“If Ruby Rose has learned to harness her gift, then you must take care to protect yours.”

We still don’t know jack shit about what Silver Eye’d owners can do, but this implies that they can do something to the Maidens power? 

Like if Ruby learns to go Full-Silver, can she suck the Maiden powers right out of Cinder? Do the power of the Silver Eyes just nullify the Maidens? Or does it just simply mean that Ruby could just eviscerate Cinder in. A blink. Of an eye? Eh? Eh?

“Tell Tyrion that I’d like to have a word with him.”

Da Smirk™

Boi is gonna get more than his tail cut off.

I’ve personally have not worn a skirt (at least not in a very long time), but. 

Her butt.

It must be cold and in pain from sitting on, what I presume, a metal container. AND ON A CARGO SHIP- NOT A NORMAL AIRPLANE. I JUST GOT BACK FROM A TRIP ON AN AIRPLANE RIDE. TURBULENCE MAN. That can’t be comfortable.

These 2 seconds of animation, pose, and lighting. Like. It’s really good. The animation felt really natural and the lighting/shadows and pose reads really well. I would recommend to watch this bit again to see what I’m talking about. 

One thing I would like to see improve is the lip sync/animation. 

She says “Where are we?” 

As odd as this is gonna sound to people who don’t animate, her lips should visually read “OoAh-Ah-OOee” than “Mah mah me.”

BUT THIS IS STILL GOOD NONETHELESS.

“Lancers. Freakin’ Lancers.”

YOU GUYS DON’T EVEN NEED TO BE GRIMM TO BE COMPLETE ASSHOLES. REAL LIFE WASPS ARE ALREADY A NEST OF DICKS.

“Officially: No. Actually: Yes.”

Time to exterminate these BAHSTAHDS.

What is this pose tho.

A very good frame.

Next to shooting elemental spells and summoning, I want to see Weiss just. Conjure a bunch of freakin’ weapons that shoot out of her glyphs. 

Weiss confirmed as the Heroic Spirit Gilgamesh.

Just look at her be magical.

Aw. She used an icy shield. What happened to her red glowy deflecting spell from the White Trailer? :<

Crater Face V2.

But seriously, just look at this screenshot; it’s like it’s from a traditional 2d anime. BUT IT’S IN 3D. Technical advances!

Damn, compared to her normal glyph, the summoning glyph has like 7 layers.

THERE IT IS YO. Though not really a knight-like stance :P

IT’S NOT AN RT VEHICLE FIGHT SCENE WITHOUT JUMPING OUT SAID VEHICLE.

K.O. - UWAH, UWAh, Uwah, uwah… -

WE’RE GOIN DOWWWWWNNNNN-

You can skip to the next image since these next couple of paragraphs are a head canon I came up with prior to V5.

I had a head canon that if the ship were to crash before Weiss got to her destination, she would have a case of amnesia; Waking up in the forest on fire, and having to make away from the wreckage, only later, at a safer place, discover she doesn’t remember who she is.

Long Story Short: She finds herself at some small village or town, cuts her hair, gets a new outfit, tries to find answers, but to make enough money to survive, becomes singer at a cafe/bar (also somehow despite forgetting a lot of things, knows how to play the guitar :P). Then she sees or hears on tv something about Haven Academy being attacked and sees Ruby and the rest on screen and be like “Hey those people are on my scroll thingy mabobber. Maybe they know who I am.”, remembers a few things everything, then yaddie yaddie yah, blah blah blah, rushes there, and then you have ½ of team RWBY back together.

Yo. Like. Fucking. Yo. I like her design very much.

YOU WERE THE CHOSE ONE. IT WAS SAID THAT YOU WOULD SAVE THE FAUNUS, NOT DOOM THEM TO A WAR AGAINST THE HUMANS. BRING BALANCE TO FAUNUS AND HUMANS, NOT LEAVE THEM IN BLOOD SHED.

God Damnit Adam.

“…they are examples of your short-sightedness.”

Well. Maybe if he took that visor off he would get a better view of the bigger picture. Haha. Jokes. Ez mode.

Don’t know much about Hazel, but I definitely like him more than Tyrion and Arthur.

Hm. What are those scars on his arm? Right where his shirt stops.

Nope. Don’t do it you fucker. Don’t get any closer.

“Humans should not just fear the Faunus, they should serve the Faunus.”

:|

Hazle: What are you doing?

Seriously. Wtf are you doing Adam.

Don’t you fuckin-

God-

DAMN IT, ADAM. First you stab Blake, then you cut off Yang’s arm, now you’re stabbing your boss? Honestly, of all the villains, I want Adam to be completely sliced the fuck up.

………..she’s so smol….

You know what. I doubt she’s actually dead. Like...

From a design stand point, they probably put in a lot of effort to design Sienna. They could’ve modeled some generic person and then killed them off, but she’s intricately designed. 

Look: She has stripes, she has a white spot on her ear, she has detailed clothes, a VERY distinguishable hair style. Like why would you put so much effort into one character you’re gonna throw away.

From a character stand point, if she survives, shes not gonna be strong after a stab straight through the stomach. Shes going to have to retreat. Find a safe place and recover. And perhaps plot revenge against Adam. Plus, she was the head hancho of the White Fang. She probably knows EVERYTHING (except her attempted assassination) about what their operations, bases, and intel are. I mean she could go to the Belladonna’s for help, despite their differences of what the White Fang should be, but it wouldn’t be to stop and change the White Fang, it’s to straight up stop and murder Adam’s  fuckboi ass.

But if she’s actually dead, then fuck me right?

“Nobody needed to die today.”

I, uh, wouldn’t be asking for help from people carrying a machete around.

Mama Bird just caught herself a nice treat.

WAIT, NO NOT THE FAC-

                                      Well alrighty then! That’s Chapter 2. 

                                                       Fuck Adam.
