Seriously tho, nani da fuq THIS EPISODE WAS A LOT.
LIKE A LOT OF GOOD STUFF BUT ALSO HOLY HELL MY BRAIN.
The first 6 minutes or so were more or less what I'd expected but like...what I'd expected the whole episode to be and then there was like 10 minutes still left and I'm like ohhhhh crap are we gonna get another relic vault cage match?
WE GONNA GET A LESSON IN SCHEMATICS AND SPACE-TIME!!!
Starring Ambrosius the Phenomenal Cosmic Himbo.
I'm so glad all the Relics have spirits? Maybe? Probably? I love these all-powerful blue trolls and how much they immediately like these dumb kids because they're creative and earnest.
Also thank you for not only putting a lamp-shade on that foreshadowing, Ambrosius you like...lit a neon sign over it that says, "Somebody gonna fall."
And I still don't trust it.- /shot
Freaking Winter was absolutely gonna leave Jacques on a slowly falling Atlas.
AND NOT A SOUL WOULD BLAME HER.
Also CRWBY...I saw that gun-gun. The gun made out of guns, that I think also always had smaller gun barrels on top of them.
NUTS AND DOLTS OUT HERE GIVING THE BEES A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY IN GAY HOLY COW.
I'm a little sad that Ruby's gf is no longer also a gun but she was never a gun in the first place anyway and there are a lot of FEELINGS to unpack here but aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Penny, the Maiden of Creation made
herself a real girl and she is perfect.
Also that Disney's Beauty and the Beast fairy tale transformation scene I'm dying.
Weiss now has competition in the Hugging Fiend Olympics.
Penny's little eye sparkle as Yang comes over like OOO NEW PERSON TO HUG AND SHE TOL. Also Blake's hug is so cute weh
PENNY DESERVES ALL THE HUGS.
And some shoes...somebody...maybe give her some shoes at some point please.
Oh and I love that Ironwood deciding to shoot Oscar off the dang platform in V7 ALSO came back to bite him in the ass because there was a gigantic af hole leading directly to the vault that NOBODY was told to fix because tunnel vision.
Pietro does have shoes that make you dance!
Maybe not those shoes! 8'D Even if they sound like fun. XDXDXD
Penny just like...No Father, I MUST DAHNCE.
Also like with the spirits, presuming they were both made from the God of Light, so are the other two gonna be the goth siblings?
IT'S HARD TO TELL. THEY'RE ALL SUCH DORKS.
Honestly I kinda hope Destruction like...is this sweet little girl djiin who just wants to like grow flowers or something but she can't because EVERYTHING SHE TOUCHES DIES.
I'm 100% here for it being somebody sassy who will call Ambrosius a himbo to his face.
ROFL somebody please call Ambrosius a himbo to his face. It'd probably be a compliment. XDXDXD

The Prophecy of the Gun-Gun has been fulfilled.
lbr that would be emerald
ALSO MY GAWD I FORGOT TO RAVE ABOUT EMERALD
to call ambrosius a himbo, that is
gottacatchemall That absolutely would have been Emerald WHAT A MISSED OPPORTUNITY.
the season isn't over yet okay
she already called yang a bimbo, she has the right vocabulary
Somebody go re-summon him a third time but specifically only so Emerald can call him a himbo.
if anyone in the cast can invoke himbo it's her
So glad I gotta wait another episode for the inevitable Emerald/Cinder confrontation. ...No really. I'm happy to wait. 8'D That's gonna hurt.
I'll just focus on Emerald being an adorable cheeky troll.
Also I can't find a gif of it but I love that Oscar can now break out the legendary Poke attack.
ALSO ALSO Jaune being everybody who's ever live-streamed during their first livestream. Good jorb.
Marrow'll be happy Juan survived though. XDXDXD
Meanwhile "Do not fall." ..../nervous glance towards the V8 intro with Team RWBY falling away from everybody
I mean, Ambrosius didn't say what would happen if somebody fell. Just that they shouldn't. Which...could range from "You will definitely die" to "You'll be trapped in the abyss for all eternity" to "You're just not gonna end up where you want to go and it's gonna be suuuuuuch a pain to get there the hard way".
I'll laugh if it just like...drops them off in Evernight. Which is actually way safer than it could be right now because Salem's all the way over in Atlas and NO ONE IS WATCHING THE BLACK QUEEN'S CASTLE.
I'll also laugh if it drops them off in Vale because I'm still suspicious of that Glynda model being ready-made but WE SHALL SEE.

Freaking showoff-y mages. XDXDXD
YES WEISS. WE GET IT. YOU'RE A SUMMONER. AND Final Fantasy X is your favorite game- /shot
i hope there's a joke about an e-vacuo-ation at some point
pageantry One of the Schnees should absolutely make that joke.
Because any Schnee making a pun gives me life XDXDXD
it can be weiss and whitley and winter will just shake their heads and deny that she's their sister
ROFL she was all about reuniting with her family until she heard that pun.
................. Oh my god, I just got it. If Jinn is the Genie of the Lamp, Ambrosius is the Blue Fairy/Fairy with Turquoise Hair.
Oh yeah! That makes sense
I always assumed Freiya was the blue fairy but with the addition of Ambrosius that makes sense.
Yeah I think it's probably both since Fria absolutely recognized Penny as the Real Person she was by bequeathing her the Maiden powers and Ambrosius basically just...helped her out of her shell?
He didn't "create" that body for her in the technical sense since it would have vanished when he made the doors (like the robot body did) he just sorta...helped her Aura take a sustainable form of her choosing?
Idk Penny is Penny and we love her for it X3
