The Remnant Retention Regiment (RRR):

A secret organization established to maintain public order. Their primary objectives include hunting down spy networks and conduct surveillance of the public.

Primary tactics include the use of brutal violence, wiretapping, cruel and unusual torture, intimidation, and much, much worse...

They're feared by the public, though they remain ghost stories to their own kingdoms, referred to only as "The Secret Police".

Cordovin: Hm? Is there a reason you're here? Mm? Orders from the general? Fine. Best of luck, Specialist Arc.

Saphron: Thank you, ma'am~! I'll do my very best~!

SAPHRON COTTA ARC, AGE TWENTY-NINE.

THIS WOMAN IS A VETERAN SPY-HUNTER.

---------------------------------------------------

Clover: Man, what was General Ironwood thinking, hiring such a cherub-faced girl? Especially for this line of work?

Cordovin: If I recall, his exact words were...

Ironwood: "Who, Sapphy? She's a cutie, ain't she? Kinda like a doll~!".

Clover: Seriously?

Cordovin: That's what he told me. Besides, that might be just what this kingdom needs. Regardless, she gets results, whatever it takes.

---------------------------------------------------

Saphron: So, nice to meet you, Mister... Mann, was it?

Shay: I ain't got nothin' to say to you-

Saphron: Oh, listen to this! My baby brother just got married~! I'm just so excited to go out and celebrate with them~!

Shay: Uh, that's-

Saphron: And he's such a good man! So kind and generous and smart and he gives the best hugs ever! He means the world to me...

Shay: Yeah, so-

Saphron: Oh! Maybe you've met him? He works here in Vale, too! How lucky am I to make it here with the Argus team to aid in conduct a spy hunt!

Saphron: Shoot! That reminds me! I still need to call him and let him know I'm in the city! But just between you and me, I haven't told him I'm visiting, so hush-hush on that, okay?

Saphron: But for everything else, just lay it all out.

Shay: I dunno what you're goin' on about! I ain't a spy!

Saphron: (Drops photos) These are you, aren't they, Mr. Mann?

Qrow: Hey! What the hell?! Why didn't we get those photos?!

Saphron: I've been so excited to be here, I guess I just forgot to deliver them. Clumsy me~!

Saphron: Now, as for you, Shay D. Mann... WHY DON'T YOU START COOPERATING?

Some time later...

Shay: And that's it. That's everything I know. All I did was make copies, deliver them to the drop site, and they paid me for them. That's it. Dunno anything about the woman who picked them up. Said she was from out of Vale, but didn't say where.

Saphron: Was there anything you could point out about her? Any unusual ticks or features?

Shay: Far as I could tell, she was a totally normal chick.

Saphron: Mhm... I see... Tell me, Mr. Mann... DOES THE NAME "NIGHTSHADE" MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

Shay: ...No? Who's that?

Saphron: She's a spy from outside of Vale. They say she's a master of disguise. She's planning to destroy everything we hold near and dear. She's the exact kind of spy why the RRR was made. Help us catch her, and all of this goes away. Okay?

Shay: W-Well, let me think of something-

Saphron: Something truthful and honest, yes, because you already know that lying doesn't work on us, and lying only gets you into more trouble.

Shay: Ghk! Alright, listen! I just needed the cash, okay?! To meet girls! I wasn't hurting anyone!

Saphron: ...Meeting girls? What about your wife?

Shay: J-Just for fun! Marriage is it's own other thing, y'know? You're married, too, ain't'cha?! All I did was give 'em some scraps of paper! It ain't like I'm plannin' a revolution! Cut me some slack!

Saphron: ...

Saphron: (Stands up) Let me be perfectly clear, Mr. Shay D. Mann. While it's true that I am married, neither my spouse nor my own brother knows that I work for the RRR, and I don't plan to, either. Part of the reason is so I can keep my loved happy because I'd hate for them to worry about my dangerous job. (Slips on black gloves) But the other reason... IS I DON'T WANT THEM TO KNOW JUST HOW DIRTY I GET MY HANDS SOMETIMES.

Saphron: (Grabs him by his hair, Slams down) Mr. Mann, I don't think you quite understand. You don't see the reason. Your crime is called treason. Those papers may only be "scraps" to you, but to everyone outside Vale, they're tasks on their to-do!

Saphron: (Grips hair tight, Grinds face down) Unlike you, I love my family. I love my spouse. I love my brother. And I will do anything to keep him safe, regardless of what kingdom they live.

Saphron: (Twists hair, Lifts head and bashes) WHATEVER. IT. TAKES.

Ironwood punishing Cordovin after she caused a scene in Argus with the Giant Mech

Her emotions left her reckless and endangered Argus, the Atlas military, and public reputation.

So Ironwood does what he does best.

Fuck his subordinates back in line. I mean how else do you think Winter has become so loyal to General over the years?

Calling Cordovin into his office and making quick work of her, this isn’t the first time having to discipline her. Her short body, her bubbly ass, her bouncing tits.

Ironwood loves to pick her up and fuck her as she remembers her place in the Atlas Military. All hail the General and Glory to Atlas! (Which I 100% will get the Yang chapter out for before December 31st)

I feel like cordovine is gonna have to make a new policy just to protect jaune’s privacy after that latest post…

Codrovin: It's not my job to keep Arc's philandering in check. And God help an NCO who tries to stomp out the rumor mill.

Dunno if this is the optimal time to post this, but I finally have time to write it and I generally hate seeing things sit in my drafts/inbox so I'm gonna knock it out anyway. Criticism of RWBY under the cut, so anyone who wants to avoid that can skip over it.

As much as I hate to sound like I'm agreeing with the idiots over at r/rwbycritics, I do think RWBY has a problem where it just... doesn't put in the work to get from A to B, the fans fill in the blanks with (often very well-thought-out and plausible) explanations and headcanons of their own, and then the community holds it up as an example of impeccable writing on the part of the show when it's the audience that's done the work the writers were supposed to do in the first place.

Like, I'm not saying the writing needs to spoonfeed us everything, but sometimes stuff needs to be acknowledged in-universe. We need to know that the characters are taking the same things into account and coming to the same conclusions as the audience.

The best example I can think of for this is the decision to steal a Manta from the Argus base in Volume 6. I think the intent is good and I get what they're going for - it's the standard "Young Adult protagonists rebel against corrupt/obstructive authority" plot we're used to seeing in YA media at this point - but I don't think the execution was very good. Specifically, I think it failed to establish the necessity of stealing the airship instead of any other alternative.

The other option critics usually pose is to send Weiss alone with Qrow, which is a stupid plan for a number of reasons. First, Weiss demonstrates a very real fear that the Atlesian military will return her to her father on multiple occasions. While she may just be paranoid, I don't think that's the right explanation. We know that Ironwood and Jacques have a close working relationship from Volumes 2 and 4 (Jacques describes Ironwood as a friend to the Schnee family and the Schnee Dust Company helped develop the Paladin), and we know that when Weiss ran away, she specifically sought Winter's protection, because her sister is one of the few people in the Atlesian military with both the incentive and influence to shield her from her father.

We also know that Jacques abused Weiss. We've seen him do it on screen and Weiss has talked about his treatment of her family multiple times. According to the critics, she should've just sucked it up and gone back to Atlas alone anyway, despite a whole story arc about escaping it and searching for her allies and family because she couldn't deal with Jacques alone, as if abuse is something easily conquered in five minutes because the greater good demands it, as if her fears that she'll be returned to his custody are baseless, as if her superior physical prowess is enough to keep her safe when her father exerts financial control over her, has an entire PR team and law firm at his disposal, and can afford to hire security personnel that can physically force Weiss to comply with his commands.

There's no guarantee that Weiss will get to Ironwood, which is why the critics want to stuff Crow Qrow in her suitcase and send him along. This sounds reasonable on the surface, since Qrow is both strong enough to protect Weiss and has enough of a relationship with General Ironwood to have a decent chance of getting Weiss in to see him (assuming him appearing out of nowhere doesn't freak the soldiers out and get them both arrested), but... Qrow is not reliable at the moment. Qrow is (understandably, given what he's recently learned) trying to drink himself to death and needs Ruby to yell at him before he stops being dead weight and starts actually contributing again. Sending him off alone with Weiss does little to guarantee that he'll actually do his part and carry out the mission instead of giving up or going off to raid Ironwood's liquor cabinet. Qrow is not a reliable asset at this stage of the story, and it's no coincidence that he's not an integral part of the plan the protagonists ultimately go with.

(This sounds a little unsympathetic to Qrow, I suppose, and I do feel for him. I'm just trying to make the point that from a purely pragmatic perspective, Qrow is not useful right now. He cannot be relied upon for anything essential.)

The problem is that none of this is addressed in the show. Cordovin shuts down the initial plan (asking for passage) and then we jump straight to stealing an airship. There's no attempt to come up with an alternative plan and only minimal pushback against a plan acknowledged as drastic and risky in-universe. The show doesn't adequately establish the sense of urgency that makes a measure like this necessary - we know the Relic of Knowledge attracts Grimm, but we don't know how strong that attraction is. From what we actually see in the show, it's not that big a deal (certainly not enough to justify rushing to Atlas at all speed) - from what we've seen, it attracts a Manticore pack to the Argus Limited, apparently an event common enough that the train has defenses installed and Huntsmen hired to protect it (and ordinary enough that no one thought it was particularly remarkable until Ozpin revealed that the Relic had attracted them); the Apathy kind of cluster around it (but they're already trapped in a confined space and don't do much of anything anyway); and the Leviathan and its flunky Grimm attack Argus (again, a common enough occurrence that Atlas has countermeasures in place to deal with it). The protagonists aren't constantly harried by Grimm as they cross Anima to reach Argus and we don't see evidence of abnormal Grimm presence around Argus once the group actually arrives, unless you count the Leviathan attack. No one ever explains in explicit detail how the Relic draws Grimm or what the strength or range of that attraction is. Nothing that we see on-screen manages to sell the necessity of moving as quickly as Ruby and her allies decide to.

So now that we've failed to establish the need to jump on the first half-baked plan that someone comes up with, we need to make the case that stealing an airship is the best available option, and that means we need a scene where alternatives are actually discussed. We need a scene where someone says "hey, what if we sent Weiss?". We need a scene where Weiss balks at the idea and points out that she barely escaped from her father the first time and Cordovin has already explicitly stated her intention to return her to her family and not the military. We need a scene where somebody suggests smuggling Qrow in Weiss's luggage and someone else (Ruby, perhaps) counters that by bringing up Qrow's near-constant inebriation and general unwillingness to be productive. Maybe Weiss volunteers, clearly reluctantly, to take the risk anyway, despite the fact that her father could exert control over her once she lands, because they desperately need to get the Lamp to Atlas. Maybe one of her teammates (I like Yang for this since she's the one with the protective instincts, but Ruby or Blake work just fine as well) responds by saying there's no way in hell they're sending her back to Atlas alone, just like Ruby did earlier. Maybe they even float another alternative and shoot it down. Regardless, we've actually done the work to establish that stealing an airship is the only, or at least the most viable, path left.

This isn't the only place where RWBY struggles with this concept. I was gonna talk about the wall conflict in Volume 7 and how we can easily come up with reasons why Robyn and the people of Mantle can't just casually plug the hole(s) in the wall but still needed to be shown that the people in-universe were aware of these reasons, but I'm too tired to make this post any longer. Maybe I'll do it later.

RWBY Cordovin’s Allusion

Today we will be going over Caroline Cordovin’s Allusion. The title of the episode she fought our heroes in (“The Lady in the Shoe”) basically gave it away, but I will be going further in detail about other nods to her allusion that many have missed.

*most of these notes can be found on Cordovin’s page on the RWBY website, because it was ME who found these facts and edited them onto her page*

The tale goes like this: “There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do.”

So boom. Cordovin is based on the Lady in the Shoe. She fights in a giant mech (that she enters via a door on it’s foot) and fights a bunch of kids because “she doesn’t know what to do”. Pretty simple right? Well, there’s a little more to it.

Let’s start with her name. Cordovan is a type of leather used for certain types shoes, often formal. This is also reinforced by Nora calling Cordovin’s face a big dumb boot, because of her old appearance, having wrinkly skin like leather. So what about her first name?

This is Queen Caroline of Great Britain. Why is she brought up here? Well, it it rumored that she was the inspiration for the fairy tale of the Lady in the Shoe, which is why Cordovin’s first name is Caroline. This Queen had 8 children, and how many people was Cordovin fighting?

Ruby, Weiss, Jaune, Nora, Ren, Oscar, Qrow, & Maria count for 8 people Cordovin was fighting. Also, there are coincidentally 8 “children” in Ruby’s Party (including Blake & Yang).

Even the Nubuck guards help fuel this allusion. Nubuck is a type of leather also used for shoes, more specifically, boots. Their design makes them look sturdy and durable, with their hats resembling the tongues of a shoe. Also, the fact that there are two of them can relate to shoes coming in two.
