A dream, a vision, or a hope?

Ruby was following a vision, a dream. She needed to help, they needed her.

She didn't know much, but she did know she could help.

Well that, and she knew that Death must die!

New perspective 2/3 A table for two, but leave space for a third

Winter and Ruby have a fun outing, and Winter makes a few…realizations as Weiss comes to her own conclusions.

Hopefully nothing can ruin the evening.

Time for a new perspective 1/3

One of the inevitabilities of life is that it marches onward. While not all things get better with time, sometimes it can heal all wounds, and sometimes it can give us a new perspective on something we thought we knew, and understood.

When Winter finds Miss Rose sitting alone at the top of shade tower she never could have expected where it would lead her.

Your Soul in Mine - 2- Shaky Alliance

Neo makes a few discoveries as a new creature finds and attacks the unarmed huntress.

Of course things get worse from there.

As Coco would say, the fact that Pyrrha is straight is huge blow to lesbians everywhere.

Okay so, I'm of two minds regarding RWBY.

On the one hand, Pyrrha and Weiss have a lot of potential as a couple.

On the other, Pyrrha being the token straight would be hilarious.

That's hilarious actually

Hard to say. I like Transmigration, but that's an au based off Hiru's work.

Maybe Contractual Obligations? Ruby and Maria are government 'contractors' or essentially hit-women for the paranormal entities they government can't contain or deal with.

They accept the jobs because the supernatural usually threatens innocents, and as paranormal creatures themselves the government lets them live a mostly interference free life with pay in return.

It's a fun life until for some reason they get a contract from their superiors for a respected family. The Schnees?

And then everything changes.

Question of the Week: What's your favorite AU that you've created? (shout yourself out XD)

False Pretenses -Point redemption 1 shot

Ruby really really liked being a creator, and inventor. She really didn't like all the other stuff that came with being in charge of a tech company, but thankfully she has her secretary, bodyguard, and secret girlfriend there to help her get through the day.

It's not like there was anyone that would walk through the door that would change that…or would it? In the best ways?

I do have to agree with your confession about Volume 9 being the weakest.

It tries to hard at being "Symbolic", but the fact that even the confession between Yang and Blake had to be forced with death made it painfully obvious they were taking short cuts in writing. Couldn't have it be a simple talk under the stars? Had to do that? Are words so hard to say?

Every scene was kind of awkward. While the beginning was comedic and brought charm, the volume got more and more scene's that made people question some decisions.

I mean, we all know the one where Weiss and Yang were literal inches from Ruby, but they left her face down in the dirt. We all know what part of the fan base that awkward moment was directed at, and that's just mean, taking from the volume.

They see she's not fine, but efforts to do anything to help her were minimal. The scene from the Caterpillar smoke suggests everyone's now confident and strong, but the writers didn't allow them to let Ruby lean on them. When Yang was asking Ruby "Are you fine?", you could feel that Yang was restrained, wishing to do more, for the sake of the tea drinking scene.

That may be a characteristic thing for Ruby to not lean on people, but Weiss, Yang, and Blake know sadness and know it's not good to deal with it alone. Weiss had Klein, Blake had Sun, Yang had Tai. If the plot didn't need it, Ruby wouldn't have drunk the tea if her team was allowed to talk and comfort her. But ya know, writing decision of "none of them thought Ruby needed them."

Yang didn't confront her and stop her spiraling, which as Yang herself spiraled into depression after the fall of Beacon, you'd think she'd have experience with it.

Then characters felt absent from scenes even though they were right there in multiple instances, and all you have is 6-7 to work with, are you serious?

My worst gripe is Jaune tho. You're gonna blow up at Ruby, blaming her for everything, even though you know she's breaking right now. You're a grown ass man, and you're blaming a child for a village you've been trying to protect from itself, great to know you'll never mature.

And once again, the other 3 felt absent from this tantrum, who didn't interrupt it and let him continue yelling at the top of his lungs at Ruby. Forget what Neo did, in my opinion, she drank the tea because of Jaune.

And I wouldn't hate Jaune this much this volume of they simply acknowledge it. But no. Jaune gets the hugs, the reassurance, even after Ruby's "death". Come on Miles, you know better than to show favoritism for the character you voice.

This volume made it felt there was a lack of time to script, to focus group, to reconsider choices, to see if "that's what the character would do."

I know they wanted it to be special, and meaningful, and while I don't really care much about them the fact that they basically HAD to confess to solve the issue is that they didn't get to do it on their own. I know they wanted to end the series by having Bees be canon, but there were other ways to do imo, and like I said it just made me dislike canon bees because it showed that they focused essentially on only each other until Ruby drank the tea.

A very too little too late thing, and they don't seem to acknowledge that they got too caught up in each other or anything, and much like Ruby's mental issues are just kinda brushed aside.

We lose great storyboards of other partners who aren't bees interacting.

You really don't even have to ship WR to see that they're supposed to be canon best friends, and a single scene like this is not too much to ask.

We got an entire episode basically devoted to the bees, and loooots of jaune time, but we can't get a single scene elsewhere in the series for something like this to give the girl partners a chance to, you know, interact, or be meaningful.

I know there were problems but they knew going into it that this was likely it, and had years to work on it. This volume is exceptionally rushed.

One of the biggest problems I have with the show is that it's named RWBY, and there's so much character bloat, and even among the named cast the team barely interacts outside of their partners.

Ruby, and Blake interact more in her imagination in the Emerald Forest and the first episode of IQD than they do in most of canon.

Weiss and Blake trade a few catty remarks for fun in atlas,and despite supposing to be deuteragonists JNPR is largely just Jaune.

We don't get scenes of Ruby, Jaune, Nora, and some of the others playing games. Ruby, and Ren baking as Nora awaits her feast. Blake having a book club with Ruby, Weiss, Pyrrha, and Ren, or even working out with Yang, Nora, and Pyrrha.

It makes the relationships feel kind of hollow, and now that WR apparently forgot they're partners for most of the last 3 volumes I mean it's just the bees show really, and as I said V9 showed me their worst side. If you wanted to convert me you failed miserably.

I realize that's unpopular because as long as team bees win it's perfect, but I don't care if people don't like my opinion.

The bees deserved better than a forced confession, like rwby deserved a proper non rushed ending. (also side note wasn't jax lobotomized in the novel? So why break him out?)

To bring back your point yes it is annoying they leave Ruby in the dirt. People were saying they left Ruby in the recovery position which you know great, but that's doing the writers job for them. It wouldn't have taken much for Weiss to fret, and put Ruby in the position, or Yang while they talk to the others. It's like a first draft that needed another run over.

I know in the white void Ruby's first instinct is to call for Weiss, and Yang, and yet again for the sake of making her speedrun a breakdown everything conveniently works against her.

There's a game called Evil Within. Sequel is fun, but the 1st game has a goal of getting to the lighthouse. The issue is that you're inside the mind of another person so one moment you can go from a forest with the lighthouse in the distance to a closed house, then a medieval battlefield, and so on.

Essentially there's no sense of progression, or rules you can really enforce because of the setting.

Ever After bothers me for that reason. I understand it's fantastical, but without some rules there's no sense of urgency, or weight, or stakes to whatever actions can happen.

Could they open a random door, and Salem be there sipping coffee? It's EA so why not?

Ruby's mental breakdown and suicide don't matter because it's EA.

Side note Weiss you have glyphs put one over the teacup so she can't drink it. Of course your sister could have also used one to catch you too as you fell so maybe forgetting you can do that is a family thing. Hmmm, thoughts for later.

Jaune isn't in a great headspace. I don't like that he yelled at Ruby, but I do understand him snapping after decades alone, and venting his frustration. I mean I get pissed if my cat knocks out the ethernet cable. I don't scream at it, but it didn't cost me 20 years worth of effort either.

My point being that I agree that one of Ruby's teammates, especially her partner should have stepped in at that point, and many others to protect Ruby, or each other, and they don't.

They're not a cohesive team anymore. They're Bees who care about each other, and if they can bother to remember the others then the others.

Weiss is adrift with no arc AT ALL, , and reduced to comedy. I hate it. We have seen time, and time again that Weiss will have hard talks and yet now of all times she just can't? Must be those darn ever after rules making her suddenly not talk at all.

Jaune's...idk him returning to normal is boring because the idea of him needing to meet and interact with new peers and his friends despite being older is interesting, and hey older jaune meeting older jess in the JL P2 would have been pretty neat to see.

If we ever get a V10 you can bet he'll go right back to being the same old Jaune except he might sometime say something wise and nora might mock his gray hair. Yay what a waste.

I still would have prefered Nora falling so she can learn who she is away from Ren and he from her then when she was reunited in V10 they could be ready for a relationship.

Plus Nora would be well used to wearing a happy + mask so she'd actually talk to ruby or get mad weiss or none of the others were.

I will also accept maria jumping down after Neo screaming round two bitch, and somehow getting the dagger, and turning young. This would also be acceptable and make just as much sense as anything else in Ever After. You know I have to work it in there. Bonus, she wouldn't accept Ruby acting like that, and would confront her on it.

If Maria can handle Neo then she can handle a moody Ruby.

At any rate I'm rambling but yes Ruby got a team hug, and came back basically the same as ever (for real give her a semblance upgrade or power up she's fighting what's close to a god) except she's more confident.

Neat.

I know there's no victory in strength, but there's only defeat in weakness too so I meeeeean.

Idk just me though. Prob why Vol 8 time travel or fix it fics are so common. Just an easy pathway into them.

Double update Monday! -

Secret Expansion Plans!

Plans are formed…in secret, but will they be for good? For Ill?

They'll be funny if nothing else.

Your soul in mine

She was going to kill her! Not even falling into a void would stop Neo from getting the revenge she deserved!

Of course Ever After is a weird place, and one should assume a plan will go as they want.

They've discovered it's more about mitigating things than anything. Not that Maria is any better when a good fight could be had.

Weiss pretends to be annoyed but she's the kind that would fistfight God if she felt insulted so really they are just peas in a pod.

But yes.

Gonna tag this for @scham-wcan, @it-me-butts, @trialbystory, @willownoir1112 @fillmargarin

For me. Maria in my HC - While she'll do it when she's surprised or angry when she's really touched by something Weiss or Ruby do for her she'll start speaking in spanish because it's instinctual and she's too frazzled to speak english.

Typically this is because they've surprised their shared girlfriend with something horrifically sentimental and sweet, such as learning and practicing behind her back to share her own language with her, or when they splurged and build her a small observatory so she could stargaze better.
