THANKS FOR THE ANXIETY.

I do appreciate that I got my dream of Winter summoning even if we didn't actually see her do the summoning itself, I'll take it.

Somebody definitely watched Alien before working on this volume.

You mean Willow not Winter, yeah?

Whitley Schnee is gonna sneak his way into my list of favorites at this rate and I don't know how to feel about that that's a lie, I love it

malkuthsoldier ROFL yes, wrong Schnee. XDXD

and god yes Whitley being a good boy when he's not in that toxic environment.

Like instantly when he gets positive reinforcement for good and helpful ideas.

Whitley out here, doing more for the people of Mantle in 1 hour than his father has done in like...years.

...Or Ironwood for that matter geezes.

Whitley has stepped up and I'm so proud of him!

Schnees working together is so good

I AM SUPER PROUD OF WHITLEY. Go earn your place in the Good Boys club.

God I'm just imagining what he might get up to if they do like an epilogue at the end of the series.

At this point I'm totally fine if Whitley gets the company (because Weiss decides she has other stuff she'd rather do) but then runs it right.

Willow though, just speeding past Raven in the Good Mom's category.

SPEAKING OF RAVEN THO.

WHICH CORVID WAS THAT?

I THINK THAT WAS QROW BUT I CAN'T BE SURE AND I TRUST NOTHING.

And if it was Qrow like...why did he suddenly go birb.

Someone said they were pretty sure it was Qrow both because Raven's bird form has smooth feathers on the head and because it says "Crow Caws" in the subtitles

ROFL fair enough. It did look like it had Qrow's little tuft crest. X3

Also he probably did it to duck under the fireball explosion. Smaller body means less likely to get hit.

A GOOD POINT. Also easier to hide because I don't blame him for GTFO-ing with Cinder playing ding dong boom.

Freaking Cinder with her swagger. I love how much she hates Watts.

THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD EPISODE FOR CR CONVERSATIONS THOUGH HOLY COW.

PENNY AND NORA. BLAKE AND RUBY. GOOD STUFF. REALLY GOOD STUFF.

THIS EPISODE WAS FULL OF GOOD STUFF. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING UPSETTING HAPPENED IN IT.

NO SIR.

Bye bye Hound frend, I will miss you

Everything's fine. This is fine. I'm fine.

What concerns me is that since the Hound was just some rando, Salem could easily start kidnapping people to do this with more people.

YEP.

I don't...think it's specifically a silver-eyed person thing. Like, it shouldn't be because Cinder is right there with a Grimm attached to her.

Oh yeah for sure but I meant more like people of a certain fortitude or something or it taking a particularly long time to do.

YEAH. Particularly the long time to do would make sense.

We've seen Salem "build" Grimm (or at least modify them) and it seems to take at least some effort and time to drop wings on a Beringel so I would figure the more complicated the Grimm the longer it takes.

If it doesn't require that though and that's literally just somebody she had like Tyrian kidnap while they were in Atlas originally

That is deeply concerning

LOL YEAH. EXTREMELY.

Salem may also have a small store of SEWS she keeps locked up to experiment with because that sounds...plausible-ish?

So it could have just been that was less someone Tyrian recently kidnapped and more somebody she already had imprisoned who really lost the Salem Lottery.

I'M SURE WE'LL FIND OUT EVENTUALLY.

I will laugh really hard if they somehow show Cinder the remains of the Hound when she inevitably shows up for Penny though.

Because that's absolutely a fate awaiting Cinder.

Minions getting too free-willed? TURN THEM INTO A MINDLESS GRIMM.

...... SEWs... like... sewing material... ..... (HUGS EVERY SILVER-EYED WARRIOR)

Flashback to those V6 theories where people thought the Sphinx Grimm was Cinder. YOU MAY YET BE RIGHT.

If there's one thing that might convince Cinder to ditch at this point, it'll be that and if she takes one look at that and goes "NAH THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN TO ME" then she kinda has what's coming to her.

still wouldn't be okay but like CInder please...

ROFL just thinking on that, it would be something if Salem is left with essentially no minions after V8 (maybe V9) and that's why she has to retreat.

Cinder ditches. Emerald ditches. Hazel either ditches or redemption death's himself to blow her up and buy them time. Watts goes back to jail and/or dies, and Tyrian/Merc are on their way to Vacuo.

LMAO and they just call in like, "Soooooo, how's the conquering going? :3 /IMMEDIATELY HAVE TO HIT THE MUTE BUTTON DUE TO ENRAGED SCREAMING"

Like, seriously at this point the only thing Salem isn't counting on is people not doing what they're told.

I can't imagine she'd expect Hazel trying anything after she figures she subdued him ages ago, and Emerald is way under her notice.

And that theme could also extend to the Ace-Ops not doing what they've been told by Ironwood and defying orders at the last moment to do something actually helpful.

IDK BUT I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

I mean I definitely was thinking it

I was hoping whitley and weiss would do a hi-5 with their cute back and forth of ideas ;o;

Still, they're all so cute and functioning like a healing family so it was nice to see...

pageantry I LOVE THE SCHNEES SO MUCH (except for Jacques). NOW TO SAVE WINTER FROM MAKING A DUMB CHOICE.

lbr Jacques isn't a real Schnee and probably dyes his hair to look more like one.

ROFL THAT'S MY FAVORITE THEORY. Jacques dyes his hair to look more like a real Schnee.

I also think the Winter dyes her hair to look less like her dad theory is really funny but also kinda mean to Winter lbr XD

Look at this dum borf, sure he's a manifestation of darkness and a horrible human experiment but just look

Dumb Grimm dog playing in the snow.

Wasnt it confirmed already?

Jacques hair when he got married was black

It's kind of hard to tell in RWBY what's greying and what's like Schnee white

^^^ This. His hair was definitely black/salt 'n pepper in his younger years going by his portrait but I don't know if it's been confirmed whether or not he dyed his hair to be more "Schnee" or if it's just age.

In my heart that's absolutely the truth though rofl.
