the reveal that mizu is not only the ronin but also the bride is so well executed. the way she walks the line between man and woman, white and japanese, victor and victim... it's good fucking writing.

Blake is really requested, she's in a lot of ships omg-- Have some Monochrome reading together
the thing that gets me about the barbie movie being framed as an "anti-men" movie is that it's fundamentally untrue to the message it's sending out. the movie is an empowering feminist piece as much as it is a cautionary tale about men letting their insecurities and doubts about their place in the world lead them to falling into the alt-right/incel/mra pipeline. it's looking out for men just as much as it's looking out for women, and the only reason you might find this as an "anti-men" message is because you somehow deeply believe that this is the wrong message to send

Nothing will ever break me more than Ruby saying "I just...dont wanna be Me...anymore."
Mostly cuz like. That shit resonated with me in a very real way. I'm sure it resonates with A Lot of people.
Where there are bees, the schnees are soon to follow!
I always loved you, I think
Oh my god…there are tears in my eyes???
Y’all don’t understand how much more the bumbleby confession and kiss hits when you, as watcher, are in a great relationship with an amazing gf because you just get it
god though it’s really getting to me that like. jaune sees penny and his younger self. ruby is being haunted by summer rose whether she lets herself look or not. but weiss? weiss is carrying the fall of atlas on her shoulders. the complete destruction of an entire kingdom. as she sees it, the sacrifice of thousands of people’s homes for a gamble to save the relics that didn’t even pay off. her friends are weighted down by the ghosts of their personal failures, small individual pains, but weiss blames herself for the agony of an entire kingdom’s worth of people. im distraught
RWBY Volume 9 in a nutshell.
I’ll never forget last summer when I met Arryn Zech at a convention and burst out crying as I said “Thank you for helping bring Blake to life, growing up that representation of queerness meant everything to me” and then she proceeded to hold my hand and say “I think you’ll really like the upcoming volume” before she gave me a hug
AND SHE WAS RIGHT, I REALLY LIKE THIS VOLUME BECAUSE 🐝
And the list keeps growing ✨
All this episode confirmed for me is that Weiss Schnee likes dilfs AND women
Love how they're semi confirming that Weiss would beat the shit out of her V1 self
This is.... Absurdly cute. What the fuck.
It's worth noting that the reason the beaver wants the water to be deeper in the first place is that the Beaver is using the deep water as a pantry:
All summer and fall, beavers gather up branches with the leaves they actually eat, and store it in the deep end of the Pond, where the cold water and limited oxygen keep the leaves fresh all winter, so when it's negative 20 outside, a beaver can take a dip out of it's lodge, grab some refrigerated leaves in the (relatively) warmer water and go back to it's cozy little nap hole while everything else is out there suffering and eating bark or the like.
So it's less "there's a leak in my house" and more "OH SHIT THE FRIDGE!!"
I love how Weiss keeps her sass when she starts talking to her V1 self because it’s so her and I love that it shows a confident and strong woman can still be as sassy as she wants
