Alright, let's talk more in depth about Yang's interaction with her younger self because there is genuinely SO MUCH to it, that I'm losing my mind.

There is this interesting choice of words with "go forward" and "go back"

Yang's never-> ImageImage
been someone to go back. Just like she said, she's someone who's always gone with the flow. And the flow never goes backwards, it always moves forward.

But this is her younger self speaking. The same person who already had doubts about how far she can truly go this way.

The-> ImageImageImage
Yang from right now already knows the answer to "But how long can I really do that for?" Because the answer is up until the point she lost her arm.

This younger self was a manifestation which prayed on that. On the fact that going with the flow wasn't a choice anymore.

But-> Image
things were much simpler back then, weren't they? So that's what's ultimately being offered here. A ticket back to the simpler times when she could keep going with the flow.

Back to before she lost her arm and had to learn to be cautious of her every move. Back to when-> Image
Yang Xiao Long was Yang Xiao Long. The quirky brawler with not a worry in the world. The one whose heart wasn't broken by the consequences of the flow. The one who was "whole".

But...our Yang instantly refuses. Because it's an easy thing to refuse, really.

She's broken,-> ImageImage
she's suffered more than most ever did, but that doesn't mean she isn't whole. On the contrary, that's what makes her be whole.

The Yang Xiao Long who got beaten down again and again, and who stood back up no matter what, is the Huntress that's standing there.

And if she ever-> ImageImage
feels like she lost a piece of herself, well...that piece isn't lost, it's just missing. Waiting somewhere, some time, out there to be found.

And the best testimony for this is exactly Yang's arc with her arm. Just like she told Tai, this IS the new normal for her. But back-> ImageImage
then she needed time to adjust. And she did. Now she's confident in it, and the only way she got to this point is exactly that. She kept going. Never going back, always moving forward

And all of that? Well, all of that is what makes her Yang Xiao Long

The sunny little dragon.-> ImageImageImageImage
A sister. A friend. A partner. And of course...

A Huntress.

She's already whole. ImageImageImageImage

I'm gonna make one thing clear

To all the people who are upset that "I make everything about Yang", look around at the way the fandom treats her character.

I did not make Ruby's breakdown be about Yang, people had to make it be about Yang being a bad sister.

I simply responded
Yes, I do talk mainly about Yang, but that's because there isn't a day in this fandom when someone doesn't talk shit about her, and I don't see it on my tl.

When people stop mischaracterizing her and making her out to be the worst human being possible, then I will stop->
"making everything about Yang"

But until then, yes, instead of replying to people with bad faith, I will make threads only on her to show my love and appreciation to her when all y'all do is treat her like shit👍

All the threads I did where I overanalyze particular moments, scenes, characters and more from #RWBY

If you're bored and want to read threads of anywhere from 20 to 60 tweets on the smallest things, here😭

It will be updated as I make more, and it will stay a pinned tweet. Image

#RWBY

I want to talk a little about this scene in particular because for me, this is still one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the entire show even after all this time.

For the longest time when I rewatched Volume 5 I had to skip past it because it genuinely hurt too-> Image
much to watch. Let me explain why.

The scene in itself, along with the context, is obviously sad.

This is someone who just got abandoned by her own mother again, just so she can grab a relic that would put a target on her back from the most powerful being on Remnant.

But->
what truly made this scene for me be in particular so incredibly heartbreaking is...the framing and direction of this specific shot.

It's genius, really, to direct it the way they did, but I also need them to pay my therapy bills because it was unfair.

I want you guys to-> Image

ALRIGHT

Gonna do this here, so if you don't want to see your TL spammed, mute this thread✨
Okay, come on, y'all know this is easy💀

Yang to both questions, she has my entire life and soul, and she's also one of the strongest fighters in the show
Weiss for favorite, but now on who would win...hm, it would be hard.

Sure, Weiss has her Summons, but Pyrrha was a candidate for maiden powers and the top of her classes both at Sanctum and at Beacon

So I'm not sure tbh

Reasons to #GREENLIGHTVOLUME10 for #RWBY

-a 🧵
#GREENLIGHTVOLUME10
#RWBY9Spoilers
Ruby is still dealing with her trauma and PTSD, and considering how we've been told this is just the start, I don't think these issues will be fully resolved this Volume.

We can't just let her end up in a miserable state🥹
#GREENLIGHTVOLUME10

Winter just saw Weiss fall to her death. Her, Whitley Klein, and Willow all think that she is gone forever.

We can't not ever see a reunion between them

Hey guys, I love RWBY.

Really, truly, from the bottom of my heart, this show means the world to me.

It's a great show with good writing, amazing characters, beautiful animation, and stellar voice acting.

That's all I had to say☺️
I know how tempting it is to get angry when people hate on the show because that's what's "cool" to do, but don't.

It was tempting to reply directly to *that* tweet, but at the end of the day what's the point.

Those are people who barely bothered to watch a few episodes->
of the show and decided to stick into the "Haha RWBY bad, are we cool now?" crowd.

You can't do anything against herd mentality, that's how people are.

But the influx of people who started the show recently without having people screaming into their ears about how bad it is->
