thinking about how Ruby was presented to us as the light of her family.
when the goblins went back in time and got her instead of Lulu, the present of her family was dark, gloomy and unhappy and it was showed to us in the colors and lighting of the scenes after that, which were very different from the setting we first saw. she is the literal sunshine of her family. the light that changed a woman who was "fostering" kids for money into someone who adopted them and cared for them as her own and kept their pictures on her fridge so she could remember them every day. changed an old lady from sleeping all day with no interest of the world around her into someone who is charismatic and happy and makes jokes about tea.
in the very episode of her introduction we already know how much of an effect she has on the people around her and how important she is, how much of a positive and light energy she has.

This might be my favorite single line of the entire volume so far.
Something something what could Ruby ever do to feel like she's done enough? Something something while her team and Jaune should support and love her, real change only comes from within. Something something, measuring up to Summer Rose.

not the first time i've brought up "agreements like these are built on trust. and forgive me for saying, but i don't trust a single one of you." in relation to summer's "trust me." but uh. what prompts that from raven is actually cinder's "so, are you with us, or against us?"
there's no neutrality within this war—not when you're in the know.
for unknown reasons, raven had already left ozpin's inner circle and while summer was acting on her own—it was a summer secret, not an oz one—, based on ruby's speech and salem's response to it, she was still looking to end this war once and for all.
the inner circle functions with great secrecy, but also great suspicion; even qrow, who no doubt had proven his loyalty over and over again, was thought compromised for being out of contact for weeks.
raven could have been out of contact for years, if she hadn't made her reasons for leaving clear beforehand—and even if she had made it clear she wanted nothing to do with ozpin's cause anymore, that still doesn't count out the possibility she switched over to salem.
so, are you with us, or against us? summer was already pretty upset with raven if the shoulder check is anything to go by, so i wonder if this suspicion and uncertainty, if this no neutrality stance played a role there.
either you're with us, or you're the enemy.
and raven wanted no part in any of it... though perhaps an exception could be made if it meant ending the war, once and for all.

The leadership: [jumping off a cliff]

...and their final smash is a cinematic screen-wide attack that shatters the moon, dealing massive damage and knockback. Next, the curious cat’s neutral special is projectile that on hit...*continues to info dump*

Ruby V7C9: Oh... I might have some kinda feelings for Oscar... [Next scene] Oh my fucking god I think I have some kinda feelings for Oscar. Is THIS what that feels like??? Oh my god.
Ruby V9C7: Oh SUUURE, Blake and my sister get to work out THEIR feelings for each other, meanwhile I have to listen to Afterans talking about "merging" with the tree as my friends debate whether it means death. SO COOL you get to be here with each other when I might never see Oscar again and even if I DO by that time who knows how far along they'll be merged? I JUST WANT NORMAL GODDAMN KNEES AND A NORMAL GODDAMN CRUSH
