Folks like @SAlle1304, @aleviahwolfe and @GearBearArc, etc. who love to bring us all fun and interesting analysis and perspective regarding both scenes from the show and the-
characters we love so dearly, and what they mean to them.
Folks like @Chaikachi or @EtincelleArt who's incredible art i've completely fallen in love with this year whether its been adorable and wholesome or... slightly emotionally devastating but in that good way!
Folks like-
@gh0xttherebel, @RondueSon and so many others who've joined into the reactor space here this past year and change to bring so much positivity and passion for the show that is just utterly infectious. And even then that's only a couple from the youtube side of things, whether-
through volume 9 or otherwise we've also gotten to fall in love with the reactions of folks here on twitter like kirrba, LUMlTY KlSS or our very own blacksmith herself Kimlinh Tran. It's been an absolute delight watching these folks go through and experience the show!
Honestly-
the lists go on and on and on and there's plenty of spaces I'm personally not just that deep in like I'm sure the fan fic space or other musicians alongside folks like the @sirsmadamsent gang (I still keep the Neo song on repeat). Or folks creating entire fan series and love-
letters to the show we love so dearly like @Remnant_Tales and Wanderer of Remnant.
Or even just some folks holding down the fort against the bad that constantly tries to ruin everyone's day whether that's just rando bad, missinformed, malicious takes. Big or small.
And this barely touches on mainstays from amongst the community and such.
This FNDM constantly brings such joy and fun and positivity and I hope they/you all know that.
Its been a crazy wonderful ride, and I cant wait to see what comes next in vol 10. #GREENLIGHTVOLUME10
and last but not least sorry for tagging anyone that would rather not be tagged hahaha, I was originally going to also toss in tags for our new currently watching live tweeting folks but figured I'd rather not run the risk of spoiling them somehow, so just go give them love!

perfect, not closer per say to Weiss' arc as displayed through the soundtrack but very much so the moment where she truly embraces who she is, who she was always meant to be, and who she can still become. Not just a representation of her struggles like much of her other OST rep-
or a desire to change like illustrated in "It's my turn" but a pure, unapologetic condemnation of those hinderances, of her previous ideologies and her father/kingdoms influences. In much the way some of the upcoming volume 9 songs are looking to do for Ruby, This life is Mine-

I might never have really been able to understand romantic Whiterose that much, BUT I will absolutely say they are an utter treasure when it comes to being partners and besties.
I don't really think they've had quite as much time to shine in their antics and or their-
personal interactions super recently but think that's down to both Ruby spending a lot of time mostly with Penny and Weiss either being more spread out across the board with with say Jaune. That and I think Weiss has LONG since out grown her need to go all tsundere with it and-
pretend they aren't as close friends as they are. Especially recently that lack of silly banter and more focus on simply I think it more goes to show how she's not just accepted Ruby as a leader but fully supports and believes in her (as we saw in vol 9) arguably to a fault-
#RWBY Hey so forgive the bright overly simplistic insanely obvious visual aid... but I just happened to pass by something that... has proved its clearly not obvious to everyone.
RUBY'S. CHARACTER. ARC. IN. VOLUME. 9. IS. NOT. FILLER.
It's been bad enough dealing with-
this about the volume in general but it is utterly baffling to me that I keep seeing this in regards to Ruby's character arc.
"You are enough"
DOES NOT MEAN THAT RUBY IS THE EXACT SAME PERSON AS SHE ALWAYS WAS. IT DOES NOT MEAN HER GROWTH WAS "REVERTED"
The things that have-
happened to her throughout the course of the show have still happened, the only thing that has happened is she now understands that the insane unrealistic expectations she has foisted upon herself since childhood based on her mother are unrealistic and that to be the hero the-
This is kind of a pretty complicated one honestly, cause outside of literally like everyone fighting and ending her all at once at the very end, it's going to be fairly impossible to nail a perfectly satisfying end w/ her, not because of any bad reason more just because she's-
managed to be responsible for so many peoples very personal pain, Ruby, Jaune, Winter, Neo, etc. etc. and knowing her i'm sure she'll find a way to make that list grow still. So again outside of literally EVERYONE getting their hit in (which very possibly might be how it goes)-
I think it has to be either a situation where she just sort of destroys herself/has her arm completely take over as a way of truly illustrating that hunger for power, violence and revenge just eats away at you (a very consistent theme in the series as we've seen), they have to-
Maybe someone can help explain it but not gonna lie, the weird random Ice Queendom hate from the #RWBY FNDM seems... weird and unnecessary to me...
Not because its better than the OG or anything like that, more just cause its not... bad and so often it really feels like... just-
trying to gatekeep the show which seems weird and seems counterproductive to me.
If you have genuine issues with like pacing and stuff, I don't really personally get it but its fair enough, we all have our personal tastes for flow and story progression.
Outside of that. It-
Feels pretty arbitrary and weirdly mean to me. Like almost leaning into that exact same weird takes that we constantly have to deal with from people outside the community talking about RWBY proper. It a lot of the time just reads as gatekeepy and unhealthy for the growth of-
