#perfect end

And it is: the GO fandom is great, they're all having a nervous breakdown as we speak 😂😂 (I'm the " I'll wait and see "-type)

Part of me feels sorry for Neil Gaiman. The other part fell in love with his responses 😁

Note from self:

Since the rwby tag is about to be flooded by every rwde jackass bitching about the finale and how it screwed up apparently, I’m going to show you why6 it’s awesome:

SPOILERS! (Seriously, do not read if you haven’t seen it yet. I am dead serious.)

1. The Nucklevee fight, which is so awesome I need to make sub points for it: A: The Nucklevee has been hyped of for quite some time now and it did NOT disappoint. With elast5ic arms, freakish movement, constant screaming that sent chills down my spine each time and a freakish amount of intelligence displayed in how it adapted to team RNJR’s tactics. B: Jaune’s sword upgrade. While minor and not really worth anything in the grand scheme of the fight, Jaune’s upgrade is representative of two things: One is his development into becoming a Huntsman truly by having a huntsman-sque weapon. And two it represents Pyrrha motivating and improving him from even beyond the grave, both physically and mentally. I have only seen one mentor do that so well and he was someone so great he’s used a comparison to Monty himself. C. The fight itself is awesome because it feels like something straight out of Monty’s book. There was only one instance of physics getting bent over and the rest was used making Physics it’s bitch. The flow was great, I was always on edge even in the more character driven parts or humorous parts (Jaune got punted away like a hockey puck. Twice, the second time after he got an upgrade reveal. And people call RWBY a Jaune empowerment show.) Speaking of the fight- D. Ren and Nora are the centerpieces in this fight as they should be. The Nucklevee is THEIR enemy, their foe that caused them pain, their demon to face! And the battle treats it as such. While Ruby and Jaune do have respective moments (Jaune’s unveiling and Ruby’s sniping) Ren and Nora have the attention of the camera, the writing and the audience with Nora doing the most damage by crushing the skull of the Nucklevee horse and Ren being the most active fighter and getting the final blow. E. The final blow against the Nucklevee was perfection! The usage of tactics to pin down the Nucklevee’s arms, Nora smashing it’s skull in with her harm and Ren slowly but surely cutting away at the beast, filled with a silent but burning rage as he took vengeance as he cut the monster’s head off. And my god, the visual story telling. The Nuckelvee slowly went from being a disastrous monster that has robbed so many people of their lives in it’s inhuman crusade to being an armless mess that can only scream. And all of this was portrayed without words. I went from fearing the Nucklevee, praying it won’t kill anyone, to feeling nothing but disgust and triumph over it as Ren killed. This shows one thing that has been constant in RWBY: Don’t fuck with humanity.

2. Ren and Nora’s relationship. In this episode, the relationship between Ren and Nora, an already strong as hell aspect of the show, is reinforced so much here. Especially Nora here. While Ren’s moments here were nothing short of awe inspiring, Nora’s were nothing short of tearjerking and just love incarnate. She saved Ren’s life TWICE in this episode...WITHOUT AURA, she kept him ground in his anger despite knowing what the Nucklevee did to them, called back to their first meeting and kept him from sacrificing himself and was rewarded in the end by a loving hand holding by Ren. Not to mention despite her filling Ren’s role in this episode, Nora still manages to be quirky by telling Ren not to look up her skirt. I say this because I just so happened to pause right before that ended and saw Nora smiling. She knew what she was doing.

And on Ren’s part we have him always acting as the anchor for Nora, constantly playing straight man to her antics as well as acting as her anchor so she doesn’t fly off the handle or, in episode 10, be scared. Here it displays what true love is: True love is puytting the otehr person first an dbecoming better for their sake. Ren and Nora are perfect for each other and I am officially throwing my lot in with Renora.

3. Ruby’s monologe. Many people say that Ruby Rose is an under developed character. And they are right, she is one of the least developed characters in RWBY. It’s a fact.

However, what she is not  is a bad character. Ruby Rose is a great character in the same vein as Jotaro Kujo: They are both tough characters. In her monlouge, I listened and realized just how much pain and suffering Ruby has been going through, just how much stress she’s had to endure.Just how much she has endured,  She has woken up everyday afraid of what will happen next, so far away from home and what she knew, what was safe. Ruby has fought against her fear and suffering for nearly NINE months. And yet, she keeps moving for4ward.,Not only that, she has learned to move beyond her fears and her pain and keep moving forward. Not just for her sake but for those she has lost. Essentially: Ruby turned her weakness into strength.

Again, I have only seen this kind of strength twice before. And those two were Noriko Tayaka and Simon The Digger, two of the biggest badasses in mecha anime. Simon’s anime, Gurren Lagann, helped inspire RWBY. So Ruby is just as strong as a character who her creator loved. Beautiful.

And with the monologe, I realized something: Ruby wasn’t just speaking about herself and the people she knew. Ruby was also speaking about US, the fans. How many times have we wished they would go back to Beacon and the formula of Volumes 1 and 2? How many times have we awoken on Saturday, praying that our characters would be fine? How many times have we thought about returning to what is safe instead of what is new? Rooster Teeth knew this and they wove their reassurance into the narrative by having Ruby act as a stand in for us and have her reassure us. Just as it os their duty to keep moving forward, it is our duty to do so as well!

4. Everbody lives...
