“I don’t know what Volume 6 will be about, but it might be fear.”
Oh you sweet summer child…
S6 hype coming!!
For me, Yang crying wasn’t about her being afraid. It was her finally mourning the relationship she COULD have had if Raven wasn’t so afraid. Not only afraid of Salem, but of her relationship with Taiyang, and of being a mother. Because that’s my headcanon: Beneath all the lies and delusions she sells to herself, Raven is afraid of being happy, and that’s why she ran away from her marriage with Tai and Yang – she was so messed up by her upbringing among bandits that she could not wrap her head around the idea of a stable, safe, happy, and comfortable life. Qrow was able to grow beyond that mindset as we see, but sadly Raven hasn’t.
Yet.
Because the shipper in me is hoping that the last scene means that Raven has been forced to take a long, hard look at herself and is wanting to put forth the effort to heal and make amends. So I hope that – by the end of the series – we see her and Taiyang cuddling on the porch, and her visibly pregnant.
As for Bumblebee? Even now, I just do not see it. Betweens Yang’s abandonment issues and Blake’s guilt, I don’t see them as lovers or as partners other than the Teammate sense.
To me, a vital element of a healthy relationship is how support, improvement, and character growth comes from the relationship. And because of that, Black Sun is the more healthy and more probable relationship.
Then again, I’ve never seen a homosexual relationship that organically worked. It always came off as either pandering to that demographic that likes it, or a naked attempt at cheap drama, or masturbation bait. Then there’s how I have also seen that side of the fanbase being a cesspool of toxicity and caustic drama, so I am predisposed to not wanting to give so much as an inch. Plus there are private matters that make me not willing to buy it without on-screen explicit proof, such as a kiss.
Because why can’t two people just be friends dammit all!
Unfortunately I think Raven just used her portal to Tai because it was the only one she had that was away from the battle. There’s no sign in that short clip that she stayed to talk to him at all. Remember: she’s only got these portals bonded to 3 people in the whole world that Yang listed: Tai, Qrow, and Yang herself. She probably also had one to Vernal, but as with the one to Yang, it was completely useless in that situation.
So what’s next, RWBY Chibi Season 3 or the Adam Character Short?
i will say that for me i feel that the only real pay off of this ending was the reunion and the maiden fight as well as exposition for the next season but aside from that i was expecting a full second battle of becaon style shit in the same style and thought the faunect army would be in uniform rather than just handed a shield and spear or gun and told good luck and on top of that i wanted adam to go down fighting and hurt sun bad and have sun stuck in mystral after this season for a little while til we head to vaccuo and see him again and i loved black sun more than bumblebee (sorry bumblebee fans, black sun just has a better dicotomy of opposites working together and being one unit that i just find more appealing, entertainging, and intresting to watch tan the future “edgy” love that those two have) with the reason why adam goes down is because he is a narcisist who refuses to let blake get away with saying that but also he refuses to stop fighting to undo the wrongs done to him.
all in all it wasnt a bad end per se cus they did it correctly in a understandable way but it was way to underwhelming for me at least, strange concept i know that opinions differ but i will say something that i have been curious about for a while and this fight between raven and cinder with the opening frames of her gun being shot out of its sheathe like adams, plus the grim mask like adam, plus the very similar color and outfit stlye like adams, plus the red blade and especially the willingness to kill and the thought of strength being everything makes me wonder if raven trained adam and just in gerneral if there was supposed to be a connection there or if i am just insane looking to into something that either never existed or was abandoned…
Why can’t I watch this?
