The callback to “Life’s not a fairy tale” and “that’s why we’re here, to make it better” really did hurt though.
Like, Ruby knew that being a Huntress was a serious and difficult undertaking. She knew there was risk, that not everyone who does it survives, that she might lose someone.
But knowing is different from experiencing. Ruby had so much hope that she could make things better, but she feels like she’s failed as a leader and consequently has convinced herself she’s made things worse.
That’s why she can’t comfortably claim to be a Huntress anymore. Because she thinks she’s failing at it.

Mmmmm been having some thoughts on Ruby and Weiss rn
Ruby is set up to be foiled to Alyx, both in the opening, trying to retrace her footsteps in her story in the first couple of episodes, picking up Alyx's knife at the blacksmith's:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
And in the latest episode, her lashing out being met with her intepreted as being cruel and selfish:
"Like Alyx, she wasn’t just a little petulant or inconsiderate. She was selfish, cruel. Like this whole word was simply make-believe and the rules didn’t apply to her."
"What about you? It's *all* about you!"
JWBY all seem to have different ideas of who and what Alyx was. She exists to teach a moral lesson, she's just a girl trying to survive and find her way back home, she was a mean little girl, she was the villain who rewrote the story.
But then we also have this line from the book said by Oscar in V8:
"She brushed off her bumps and bruises, for nothing hurt worse than the loneliness in her chest."
And... I'm reminded of Ruby's own loneliness, how distant she feels from her own teamates and friends right now, from the pressure of expectations to always be the one with a plan, with a smile and something positive to say to inspire everyone to Keep Moving Forward, put on her by both herself and the people around her. How Weiss is mourning her kingdom, Yang and Blake get to sort their feelings out, Jaune gets to have his breakdown, to the point his own over shadows Ruby's and her feelings are dismissed. And how the way she lashes out at them was both understandable and a long time coming, but also terribly cruel and messy. And that no one can be blamed for not seeing or reaching out to Ruby more when she refuses to let others know how much she's hurting and ask for their help. Ruby is still entitled to her own feelings. So is Jaune and WBY.
Which brings to mind a certain quote shown at the beginning of a certain someone's trailer:
"Everyone is entitled to their own sorrow, for the heart has no metrics or forms of measure. And all of it... irreplaceable"
Tumblr media
Weiss's arc involves her looking outside of herself and learning to see and understand those around her, their own sorrows and burdens they carry with them. And of course, loneliness is a big reoccurring theme in Weiss's arc. Meeting her teammates and supporting them is what leads to her understanding their struggles, hence why Weiss develops from wanting to be the leader to instead dedicating herself to being the most supportive member in team RWBY, and thrives the most when she's fighting with them, but also emotionally supports them through their own struggles.
Tumblr media
She's the one who notices something's off with Blake first in V2, and gets her to open up to the rest of her team so they can all work it out together:
Tumblr media
"So, Blake Belladonna, what is wrong!?"
She supports Yang when she's confronting Raven and dealing with her abandonment issues
"It's okay if... you're not okay."
Tumblr media
Her own sense of self and relationship to loneliness is a healthy one at present, and is something she can use to relate to others.
She understands other people’s loneliness, that Blake in V5 needed space and in time she’d come back, and Weiss would be ready to be there for her when she did. And she also understands Yang’s loneliness in the same volume and that she needed someone there to support her.
“But you’re right. I don’t know loneliness like you do. I have my own version. And, I bet Blake has her own version too.” 
"When she's ready, I'll be there for her. And I know we're not as close, but... I'm here for you too."
Tumblr media
Weiss understands that no one's version of loneliness is the same, and every individual needs something different to have their feelings respected and understood. And now in V9 Weiss has to reckon and come to understand Ruby's own version of loneliness after seeing Ruby snap and how much everything has been weighing down on her, and what she needs from her as a friend and teammate.
Tumblr media
All the way back in V1, Weiss grew to accept Ruby as leader and promised to support her:
"Ruby... I think you have what it takes to be a good leader. Just know, that I am going to be the best teammate you will ever have."
And I believe she'll try to hold true to that as best she can for Ruby going forward.

so i'm rewatching rwby with my girlfriend, and it is so interesting how the show has grown with its audience (or maybe vice versa?) but like. we're at the end of volume 1 right now, and with all the volume 9 context to it, the conversations between ozpin and ruby and then subsequently ruby and jaune are just. so upsetting. like here is a child saying that she needs to put everyone before herself and that she's not allowed to make mistakes. here is a fifteen year old already putting the weight of the world on her shoulders, and she doesn't even know it yet.
but when i watched this the first time, when i was even younger than ruby was, i heard that and went "oh yeah that sounds like a good pep talk :) that sounds like good advice :)" and my gf said she thought the same. but in hindsight we were both like "hm this is fucked up actually." idk this is mostly rambles marge simpson meme i just think its neat

Weiss, you don’t get to say a word about attitude.

Day 6: Favourite Ship- This was most likely the easiest one for me. I absolutely love Renora and they have been through so much together so you can imagine just gut wrenching vol 8 has been thus far. However, I eagerly wait to see what’s in store for them after the hiatus...

So I rewatched RWBY for the 300th time(that's an exaggeration). Time for my updated ranking of the volumes.
1. Volume 6 - Just an all around stellar volume, full of important character moments and plot. The finale is a bit weak
2. Volume 7 - Another very good volume, my only problem is the lack of team rwby interactions, and it slows a little in the middle before probably the best finale of the entire series.
3. Volume 3 - One of the most emotionally impactful volumes of the series and the home to the biggest plot point in the series. The fall of beacon kicked everything off and is the thing everyone talks about, and for good reason.
4. Volume 1 - Our introductory volume. It introduces characters, has some fun jokes, and starts to teach us about stuff and has a tiny sprinkle of plot, but honestly doesn't bring much to the table, it's only higher than volume 4 because of nostalgia, they would be equal otherwise. With it being the first volume the animation is almost painful to watch.
5. Volume 4 - I know a lot of people don't like this one but I enjoyed it. It has important character beats and introduces themes that were used for the full Haven arc. It's the first volume in the current animation program and thus has some rough patches in animation.
6. Volume 2 - Honestly doesn't do much for me. It introduces the vytal festival, and Sun, and has the very fun Yang v Neo fight with the CVFY fight as well, but plot wise and character wise it just feels weak. It's not memorable, and isn't super interesting to watch.
7. Volume 5 - It's better than people give it credit for, but still isn't great. Animation has really picked up in this volume and it looks pretty good, not great, but good. There are a few important character beats, such as Blake's new determination to not run, her acceptance that she is brave. Blake helping Ilia. But RNJR at Haven is just bland and boring. Sure Oscar arrives but it's a very blank feeling volume. It's much better in the longer format than how it originally aired, but watching it all in one sitting can only do so much. Oh and Weiss gets kidnapped and that whole "Your mom kidnapped me?" Scene is hilarious. And I do love all of the reunions. When Ruby dropped that tea tray? Delicious. When the first thing Blake said upon seeing her team again was "Yang"? DELICIOUS. But those touching reunions can't do much to help the poor storytelling and bland ending fight, even if Cinder v Raven was rad.
Final thoughts:
This ranking constantly changes. Volumes 1&4 switch a lot, as do 2&5, but firmly in top 3 are 6, 7, and 3. They just are so fantastic every time I watch them. And I love rewatching RWBY because everytime I notice something new, and everytime is just as satisfying as the first time. CRWBY has done well to craft a tale that keeps me coming back again and again. I love the well crafted relationships*cough* *cough* bees. Even though there was a serious dip in fight scene quality in 4&5 they still manage to pull together scenes that have my eyes glued to the screen. I love RWBY and will continue to love RWBY. It's just a fantastic show and I can't wait for what comes next.
Thanks for reading all that shit. It's 2am and I get rambly.

You know what would be a good summon for Weiss to add to her collection?
The Nevermore from Volume 1.
I know what you might be thinking- Ruby was the one who dealt the killing blow, so it wasn’t Weiss’s kill.
But do we know for sure if it needs to be Weiss’s kill for her to summon it?
“Think to your fallen foes. The ones that forced you to push past who you were and become who you are. Think of them, and watch as they come to your side.” (Winter Schnee, Volume 3 Chapter 4.)
Tumblr media
We don’t know for sure that Weiss had to be the one to kill it. We just know it has to be an enemy she faced that is now dead.
The first full summon Weiss ever managed wasn’t something she earned alone. She didn’t kill the Boarbatusk until after she listened to Ruby. Weiss had to set aside her ego and take advice from the leader she didn’t yet respect.
And having one of her most powerful summons be something she mostly assisted to kill is a good meta of both Weiss and her fighting style.
Weiss’s fighting style isn’t much good on it’s own, to the point where she’s infamous for losing 1v1s. It’s when she fights alongside and supports her team that her abilities are best used.
And with Volume 8 likely including messages about standing together with those you love, it would make sense for Weiss to add another teamwork earned summon to her collection.
After writing this, I realize there are many powerful Grimm Weiss assisted in slaying which she could potentially summon. The Sphinx or even the Leviathan from Volume 6 would also be fallen foes. She assisted with both fights; distracting the Sphinx so Ruby could fire at it and then clipping it’s wings. Her Queen Lancer summon was what allowed Ruby to reach and kill the Leviathan. Both of them are indeed fallen foes which tested her, meaning they could easily be summons as well.

Since Volume 7 is upon us, I have decided to make a tribute to all of the Grimm. Maybe after our girls leave Atlas I will make the Sayber Grimm, and the Centinal Grimm. But for now I will stick to the Grimm that have been defeated, so far. The Nevermore, Leviathan, Queen Lancer, Manticore, Sea Dragon, Ursa, Beowolf, and The Apathy. There are obviously a whole heck of a lot more, but I only had so much room on the page.
