They’re not the same picture but it’s an interesting parallel nonetheless.

In case anyone was wondering, for me the main difference is that I think Ironwood was being much more genuine. Both Blake and Winter were groomed and manipulated, but Adam did it all knowingly while I don't think Ironwood was doing it as intentionally (not defending him though.)
Expanding on this, Blake's storyline with Adam was very much a narrative of personal abuse showcasing how predatory individuals take advantage of people, while Winter's arc with Ironwood is more a commentary on the dangers of authoritarian militaristic systems as a whole.

The discourses I predict after that premiere:

— Yang is still apparently a terrible sister because even though she willingly separated from Blake for the good of the mission she dared to speak bluntly to Ruby so clearly she hates her.
— B/umbleby is already bait or being dragged out too long because they didn’t kiss in the first episode even though R/enora got the same brief focus and this chapter was 90% plot stuff to set up the Volume.
— Ironwood is still somehow redeemable after being happy to kill two innocent people for no reason because “gruff tough macho man always right let me lick his boots even more blah blah blah.”

Okay fuck it I’m still only half awake and I’m watching the Destiel confession scene on YouTube because I need to laugh
HOW IS CASTIEL WRENCHING EVERY WORD FROM THE DEPTHS OF HIS SOUL YET STILL SOUNDING SO INSINCERE WHILE DEAN IS JUST LIKE 😑
The over the top drum sound effect is killing me who the fuck thought adding it was a good idea like.....

Dean: Why does this sound like a goodbye?

Cas: Because it is.

Sound effect: BOOM! CAN YOU TELL THIS IS MEANT TO BE EMOTIONAL AND DRAMATIC YET???

How much does he get paid to be Adam's PR person? I'm genuinely curious as to why so much of his mental energy goes into defending an abusive mass murderer who groomed an underage girl and blaming everything on his victim. I guess cause the incels are the only audience he has.
Also it's funny that he says Yang when he means Blake at one point, and his “source” is the same dude who didn't remember the basic events of the Black Trailer. Another chapter in the “RWBY ‘Critics’ Claim to Care About Facts While Being Allergic to Actual Facts” saga.

Okay strap in, y'all, because we need to talk about Blake Belladonna. Specifically, we need to talk about the disrespect some of you put on her name which I am sick and tired of seeing. Now, let's run down why Blake is a flawed (just like all of us) but incredible person.

#RWBY
First, this woman not only left behind her abuser and an increasingly toxic environment, which is extremely difficult all on its own, but she did it with no support system! And she even managed to save innocent lives in the process by cutting the rest of the train off.
But I'm not here to focus on that, so let's move forward to after V3. Blake leaves the team to try and protect them, which is undeniably a very bad decision even if it's understandable in the circumstances. She's pretty much borderline suicidal at this point and hates herself.

People yelling “b-but the team dynamic!!” when arguing about ships in #RWBY sound so strange because it's like they don't understand basic human interaction. Newsflash: it's literally impossible to have identical relationships with everyone in your social circle.

Y'all really think that people spend exactly equal amounts of time with all of their loved ones and talk to everyone they're close to the exact same way? That is completely unrealistic lmao. Why does all reason go out of the window whenever the Gay™ is involved?

(2/10)
Every one of your relationships, whether friendship or romance, will be unique because shock horror, we're all unique individuals. Just because someone doesn't spend precisely an hour with each of their friends every day doesn't mean they care less about some of them.
