Thoughts on V9's arc handling 🫂
I'm not gonna talk about Vacuo here, just Wonderland. As a RG and N&D fan and supporter i have to say that RWBY has abundantly focused on these two dynamics for a long while, so now that we have a chance i want some more deep moments between Ruby and her "old" dynamics aka Jaune and Weiss. I think that because Jaune is the one directly correlated to Penny's death, it is possible they might set up deep moments between him and Ruby, but i also want Weiss to be present in those! I think i would love to see Jaune and Weiss argue with a Ruby in denial/overwhelmed by the news, and i want to see both of them go comfort Ruby in different moments or together, idc, i just want to see these two important Ruby friendships remind us of just how much these mean to Ruby. Because while they got moments here and there reminding us of how their dynamics evolved during these volumes, i also think it would be neat to focus more on them now that we have a chance, considering there's only 6 characters stuck on this island. I think this is the best moment to pick up these dynamics again, since bees will likely do their little romantic trip on this island. Of course i want to see bees also interact with Ruby in regards of this but i also think the main focus will be on their romantic relationship considering what happened to them in the finale. If you sum the fact that bees might have their own sub-arc, the fact that its been a while since the real focus was on Jaune&Ruby and Weiss&Ruby, and considering V9 is all around looking like another theraphy "filler" volume more focused on the characters and the lore rather than the plot, i would say i can see there being two main arcs (who intersect each other) one regarding the bees and the other Jaune/Ruby/Weiss, with Neo being the interference throughout those and oc multiple little other subarcs. I think its even possible that bees might get separated from the rest for a while enough to let them build up closure on their romantic situation...bc the feeling i got from these past volumes is that the authors struggle to write bees with the rest of the squad as to not make it sound out of context, and if you think about it since the reunion in V5 Blake and Yang's biggest moments have always been when they were alone. The Barn scene, the Adam thing, the Robyn mission and so on. They were always alone. So i think we might get a Emerald Forest parallel where for few episodes Ruby/Weiss/Jaune might find each other and be on their own while Blake/Yang are stuck together looking for the others. Eventually they reunite and the plot/lore kicks in and they find a way out. Or at least this is what i'm hoping because both these arcs desperately need alone time in my opinion.

Kai: "Oh, uh, sure. I guess it's only fair..."
Kai stepped inside, leaving Azura alone with his partner, and silence fell Leon seemed to be giving Azura a chance to speak, only speaking up himself when he didn't
Tumblr media
Azura: "I-I'm sorry I just... I thought that-" Leon: "Easy, now, Don't have a heart attack there. I'm just messin with you. At least... Mostly"
Tumblr media
"I'm sure you had your reasons, and if Kai was willing to accept you back after hearing them it's enough for me. I won't pry"
"But I need one thing to be very clear between us, Azura"
Tumblr media
Azura: "... yeah... I understand"

Continuing from This Post
"When I got that letter I thought... I was afraid it was just some kinda joke by someone else... or even just you messing with me but... but you're really here..."
Azura, still stunned into silence for the moment, raised his own paw up, grasping onto Kai's arm, as if to convey the same disbelief
Tumblr media
Amidst the swirl of emotions there was, at least, relief that his fear of anger or even violence had been apparently unfounded. Despite that, the smeargle still felt almost at a loss for what to say first. An explanation? He knew it was probably the first thing Kai would want to know, but even still; the idea of the first words to kai after the few years it had been being to defend himself felt... wrong.
After several moments of the two standing frozen in place like that, the one feeling that kept working its way to the front of Azura's mind finally made it's way out
Tumblr media
Kai meanwhile faced his own similar conundrum. His own mind a jumbled mess of questions he wanted to ask and emotions gone unaddressed all this time. His original plan, long out the window by now, had been to act cold towards the entire situation, as if Azura leaving hadnt phased him at all, or at least that he'd gotten over it way before now, but... he knew even before now that his old partner wouldn't have bought that. No matter how well he kept up his cool, cocky facade, Azura had seen too much through to the other side of it for it to fool him anymore. Leon back home, too, for that matter
As the emotions bubbled to the surface, each fighting to form their own words in the Zangoose's mouth, he found a common ground between most of them to start from. Letting out a heavy breath, and pulling a shaky claw away from the smeargle, he found his voice
Tumblr media
"Did- Did I do something? Was it my fault, W-Was I not good enough anymore!?" He stammered, seeming to work himself back up, Azura flinching and finding it harder to look him in the eyes as each one piled on
Even as much as Kai had tried to talk himself up, often more to convince himself than others, nothing scared him more than the ide of being abandoned by those closest to him. First, it had been his own family, and when he had finally started to move past it, to a new life with a new family
Azura left too
All that time after had been spent in a cycle of thinking he'd gotten over it only for little things to bring it all crashing back down, now coming to a head with the Smeargle standing here in front of him again
"N-No, No, Nothing you could have done would have made me leave like that!" He answered "I... I was happier here with you and Leon than I'd ever been" for the first time, he broke eye contact with the Zangoose, shame over his old cowardice washing over him
Tumblr media
"I just... I didn't want... I couldn't let them...." he stopped, the sad irony of it maybe hitting him for the first time now that the threat had finally passed. "But I did.... didn't I? I... I let them take my family from me twice...."
Tumblr media
Even through all the sadness, anger, and abandonment he might have felt swirling like storm in his mind, Kai watched his old friend open up to him and just felt… relieved
There was no spite, or contempt driving azura’s actions; despite everything Kai felt like he could be sure of that now.
Beneath it all, he was just happy that Azura was okay. That they were okay, or at the very least; that they could be.
All those imagined arguments and the negative feelings behind them just faded away. Things wouldnt be the same; and there would be a lot that needed to be addressed before they could be close. But no matter how much Kai had hurt before… he at least had his friend back, and there was only one thing he wanted to do now
Tumblr media
Kai’s tail wrapped itself around the shocked smeargle, his arms lifting him and squeezing him tight against himself.
Azura almost couldnt believe it. When he’d set out from Emerald town he’d been prepared to be starting from square one, treated by his old friend like a stranger at best.
When Kai felt the smeargle’s own arms wrap around him in return, he began to cry.
Every layer of the facade falling away, if only for the moment, for the only person who Came Back for him
When Kai finally set him down, letting out a sigh and wiping the tears from his eyes, Azura looked up and recognized his old friend; looking much more like the Kai he’d known before

Azura turned, Kai standing there, watching as his friend got ready to leave again
Tumblr media
Azura stopped, turning back around. He knew leaving again wasn't gonna be easy. But what could he do to reassure him now ..... He had an Idea. He walked back over to him, holding out his paw Azura: "Here, Give me your hand"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kai: "I- A-Are you sure? Isn't that like a Major thing for you?"
Azura: "Listen it's my back so I get to make the choice. I'm okay with it"
Tumblr media
Azura stepped away again, the Meowstic to his side drawing the bubble around him Azura: "I'll see you around, alright?" Kai: "Yeah... See ya, 'round"
