I wonder how Tai and Qrow would feel about Summer not being held on such a high pedestal anymore, I feel like they were the ones that started the whole “Raven evil and bad Summer good and perfect” thing that fucked up their girls to begin with
I think in their own way they were trying to protect the girls. Summer was Ruby's mom and the only mom Yang really knew until much later. No kid wants to know that their mother is flawed and fallible and made mistakes.
The thing is, I think Tai and Qrow carried it too far and for too long and turned Summer from a good mom into an unattainable goal.
I know they did it because of love but like I said in another post, sometimes intentions are irrelevant when you're doing harm.

I apply the same rule to RWBY as any other sci fi/fantasy shows set on any not Earth planet.
They may say they're called human, look like them too but they're not actually human so any irl physical limitations do not apply.
Lift a boulder without issues? People can just do that on their world. Got stabbed and walked it off? That's just their biology being different to ours.
Exactly. While there are definitely parallels between the people of Remnant and Earth, the peoples of Remnant definitely had a different evolution and very different environmental stresses.
So, I don't think it's a stretch that they could be superhumans if they were on Earth.

MUCH GOOD NEWS!
According to the RWBY livestream, they're getting along quite nicely with a potential partner about Volume 10, AND the current CRWBY is likely staying on as the creative team! Though they can't go into specifics yet, and there's gonna be more news in the coming weeks.
Excellent! Here's hoping they make it a renewable contract, means they can keep the animators employed at a steady rate.

My mood has just improved dramatically with the recent RWBY news. Let's hope they land a good deal with everyone.
I feel good, really good about the situation. It makes sense that they can't go into details just yet.
If we get to keep the same creative team, VAs and the animators get a good deal then the sky's the limit for RWBY.

I feel like we're moving to "when" not "if" regarding RWBY and that makes all the difference in the world.

So I’ve been thinking more about one of the more subtle but striking questions brought up by Ruby’s tree vision:
Namely; to where or rather to who were Raven and Summer portaling to? After all, it’s been established that Raven’s semblance, Kindred Link, allows her to create portals specifically to people she has established a certain bond and connection with.
And this is particularly interesting, because of the people we thus far know have Raven’s ‘Link’, only ONE was otherwise not present in the flashback; Qrow.
And wouldn’t you know it; Qrow also happens to be one of the people we can definitively say DOESN’T know what happened to Summer, going off his talk with Ruby in Volume 7 where he mentions having no idea where Summer went or what she was doing on her mysterious last mission.
Now, as I’m sure some people will bring up, it IS possible that Qrow was actually present and is simply keeping quiet about it to Ruby. However, personally I seriously doubt that. As I simply don’t see the writers cheapening such a personal and important scene between Ruby and Qrow by later revealing that Qrow was actually outright lying to Ruby at the time.
So that seemingly leaves us with seemingly only one other option: That Summer and Raven portaled to someone else.
As to who that someone might be? Well personally, I think it would have to be someone we likely haven’t met yet. I know some people have suggested it could have been Ozpin, but frankly I don’t buy that one bit. Whatever happened to Summer is clearly meant to have MASSIVE implications, impact and general status-quo shattering revelations, all things it would make much more sense that Oz has NO idea to. Not to mention it’s kind of hard to imagine Raven forming a link, clearly a very close connection, with someone she seems to have always distrusted like Ozpin. Meaning that we’re left with a character that we simply haven’t be introduced to yet.
However, after giving it some more thought, I think there may be a THIRD option:
Raven and Summer DIDN’T actually portal to a person.
Remember just how we learned the mechanics of Raven’s semblance?
It was via Yang explaining it, via information she was told by TAI.
Here’s the thing though; Tai certainly knew how Raven’s semblance worked back when they were a team with Summer and Qrow. But it’s also been a LONG time since then. And wouldn’t you know it, these last couple volumes have ALSO introduced us to the concept of SEMBLANCE EVOLUTION.
So what if in the near-twenty-odd years since leaving her team, Raven’s semblance ALSO ‘evolved’? To the point where she can form her ‘Links’ with more than JUST people?
Perhaps now Raven can form a link with objects that have particular significance to her? Or, and this one I find the most compelling, LOCATIONS that are particularly important to her?
It’s funny that we’ve never actually known for sure where or to who Raven has been portalling to all the times we’ve seen her. Sure, in hindsight I think we’ve all been assuming it was Vernal in Volumes 2, 3, and 4, and to Taiyang at the end of Volume 5. But the funny thing is, we DON’T actually hear the characteristic sound of Raven’s portal opening in the V5 post-credits scene with Tai, only the flapping of wings. Implying that Raven may not have actually portalled to Tai directly…
Meaning that throughout the show, perhaps Raven wasn’t actually portalling to Vernal, but rather to the camp, the home which now has great significance and meaning to her. And at the end of Volume 5, she portalled not to Tai, but rather to the home she once had on Patch. Or, for the REAL spicy alternative, to Summer’s grave.
So what if at the start of their world-most-homoerotic-suicide-mission together, Raven and Summer portalled not to a person, but rather to a LOCATION that Raven was able to set up a link to?
(shoutout to @mikey-polo420 for the ask that got me thinking about this :D)

holy shit yang getting her arm cut off was foreshadowed since the TRAILER.

Who do you think Raven and Summer portalled too?
That's definitely one of the million-dollar questions we have at the moment.
For one, I DON'T think it was Qrow, simply because it doesn't line up with what he told Ruby in Volume 7. And I doubt the writers would cheapen a very important and personal moment between Ruby and Qrow by later revealing that Qrow was lying to Ruby at the time.
I have a feeling this is going to be one of those questions that DOESN'T have some foreshadowed or already alluded-to answer, and instead has a entirely out-of-left-field answer or otherwise relies on information we simply don't have yet.
