there's one scene in V5 that i love for reasons i don't see brought up often that i don't think i've talked about before either, and it's this scene between blake & sun, specifically certain things that blake says:

sun: [ilia] was your friend, huh? blake: she was. her chameleon traits meant she could pass as human. she could've lived a normal life if she wanted, but she didn't. i always admired that. she lost her family in a mining accident when she was young, then she joined the white fang. like me, she was more or less trained on the road alongside other faunus. she learned to survive, to defend herself, but as people like sienna and adam started to gain a following, she became more dangerous. i guess i did too.

in a scene where blake tells she has one word per person she associates them with—a word that can change over time, and one that she takes her time to land on—but when it comes to ilia, there's none of that; blake lays it out clearly exactly what she admires about ilia. and they were friends, close enough to have personal conversation, just two of them on the roof, close enough that blake even says that she could have left the white fang with her parents, but she had ilia (and adam), after all. why would she?

and then there's this:

blake: i'm going to try and help her the way you helped me. [surprised sun face.png] blake: you showed me that sometimes you need to be there for a friend even when they don't want you to be. i was drowning in guilt and fear, i tried to push you away, but you didn't give up on me. and i can't give up on ilia. it's about time i saved my friends for once.

blake, thanking sun in her own way for being there for her even when she wasn't in a mental state she thought she needed someone to stick with her; that despite the fact she hurt him on two separate occasions by slapping him, he still didn't give up on her.

but it's also about blake recognizing that she hasn't been that person to her friends, that she's more used to running away, but she's ready to change that, not just as a thank you to sun for believing in her when she couldn't quite believe in herself, but also for ilia. blake's not going to give up on her, full well knowing what the path in front of ilia might look like, what it might have looked for her had she stayed in the white fang rather than leaving when she did.

and i just— i love this trio so much y'all ಥ_ಥ

This isn't the end, but the start of something new. Have some faith!

I wrote some words about this on Twitter that you can read below, but for now, thank you, Crwby

The people who think the 'Blake is a cat' jokes in RWBY are problematic are somehow even stupider than the people who get up in arms about the 'Toph is blind' jokes in Avatar. Could you at least stick to being terminally discourse-brainrotted about a non-fictional minority?
