When One Of Them Is Trying To Change The Law To Help People And The Other Is Acting Outside The Law To

Matthew's ears are slightly pointed like that because of the Gormotti ancestry

oh and he definitely got that scar doing something stupid as a kid. that or Na'el punched him

Handle With Care.

if no one else is gonna say it, then fine, I will.

on second watch, I've realised Volume 9 feels like a love letter to not just early fans, but also to Monty

the focus on Neo and her relationship with Roman

acknowledgement of Pyrrha's sacrifice and the guilt Ruby feels over it

reversed Whiteknight dynamic

Ruby breaking down for the first time since V3

RWBY using their team attacks

and his specialty: fight scenes with story and character

an emphasis is put on Blake and Yang fighting side-by-side, because their feelings are finally out in the open and they're more in sync than ever. Weiss using all sorts of glyphs and dust and summons, because she no longer cares about being prim and proper and noble, she will be as loud and chaotic as she likes so long as it keeps her friends alive

and Ruby,

Ruby doesn't fight at all until the finale, because she doesn't feel like she can. she stays out of the way and never really tries to defend herself. even when she's being tortured by Neo's illusions, even after her Aura breaks, she doesn't fight back until she's right on death's doorstep. but then she speaks to the Blacksmith, and she hears that her mother loves her, and she knows that she is enough. she always has been, since the very start

so, she goes back to the start. whirling and spinning, using her Semblance, zipping around with her scythe in a way reminiscent of Monty's choreography, as if reliving the Red trailer in her mind. and once she's had that chance to show her newfound confidence, what she's truly capable of, her teammates step in to help her, because now she finally sees that they are there, and they finally see that they weren't there enough. they don't even have to talk to understand what's changed. Ruby grew the most, but they all learned from this, so she takes the lead at first but they finish it together

I just think Monty would've liked this volume

Ranboo: “I’m so unbelievably sad.”

OH, BOOHOO! LET ME PLAY YOU A SAD SONG ON THE WORLDS SMALLEST VIOLIN—-

MY GOD THE TIMING

I'm so glad enough time has passed for people to stop caring and acknowledge that Engage is just FUN

girl help, I've had Soren's bracelet for like 5 minutes and it's already making my entire army incredibly uncomfortable. why does Ike exclusively talk to him in that voice
