I don't like talking about this topic anymore cuz of the lack of media literacy some have but a Twitter post reminded me of it and since I never dissected V9 with my Xiao Long-Rose glasses, I'm doing that today.
V9 was beautiful and I enjoyed it really much, I have problems with it but the majority of problems I have with RWBY in general is because of the lack of time or budget they have so I will not go in details about it.
We got to see Ruby going through an emotional and mental journey to be able to heal a part of her and learn from the death. With this comes her childhood trauma and her more recent traumas, with Penny being an important figure within it.
Ruby this time doesn't confined to Yang, she doesn't talk to her sister and neither opens a bit of her mind to her which causes confusion and frustration to Yang.
I know people took it as Yang hates when people aren't honest and how she always has her heart on her sleeves and while that's a way to read it (and it's not wrong either) I see it more of how Yang is Ruby's mom and sister. She's the person Ruby talk to about her insecurities, her triumphs, her emotions, etc.
A good example is exactly when they finally find Yang at the beginning of V9 and Ruby confirms the audience that her sister was indeed the one that raised her. So, what Yang said in V2 and V5 wasn't totally wrong; as I'm seeing people starting to claim; Yang did have to be a parent and a sister to Ruby during many years while Taiyang got eaten by his depression and Qrow was still an alcoholic. In this point Yang is not an unreliable narrator, Ruby is confirming this to us.
This makes Yang feel uncertain about her sister and at the same time it makes a fracture in their relationship by accident. Ruby did not meant it but at the time it was a necessity, if you have read my other post about the sisters you will see how I've talk about Ruby codependency on her sister and how she needed to be more independent emotionally.
This helps Yang confront that fear she has about Ruby and what it means losing her sister or at least growing apart from her, which it tragically reminds me of the fears a lot of parents has when their kids grow up; and I mean tragically because Yang is only 2y older, she shouldn't be a parent to her 2y younger sister.
Funny enough, this has been a fear Ruby has been harboring since at least the end of V3. As she sees Yang getting eaten away by the different mental illness she suffers, Ruby decides to leave with team JNR, that scene is a trigger, Ruby may be young but it was exactly how her dad was years ago and at the same Yang was so far away from her.
Ruby needed her sister at that moment the same way Yang needed someone, anyone (specifically Blake) for her at that moment. But they were so far away of each other, both emotionally and mentally.
This fear goes away momentarily in V5 thanks to the team going back together and Yang being back again to be her mom and sister. But it kinda comebacks in V7 and V8 as Yang criticizes her and leaves, yes Ruby knows Yang loves her and this fight means nothing but Yang is not just a teammate, she's the person that raised her.
Ruby can take Weiss or even Blake criticizing her, but Yang is a different story. This starts a distance between them that we finally see it exploding in V9; by accident, mind you.
Again, Ruby did not meant it and everything she says is insecurities that come from her own mental illnesses; her rage from episode 7 made her say things to her teammates, she didn't point fingers to Yang directly but indirectly.
"Gotta stay positive! Right?!" "Smiles all around! Maybe even finally get our feelings sorted out! Good for you, by the way. We’re all so happy for you!"
While Ruby was indeed codependent of Yang, the same was the other way around.
Yang needs to see her sister well, if Ruby is ok, if she's smiling, if she's happy then Yang is ok, then she can relax, then she's doing something right.
This comes back to Yang having to be a parent at such a young age and to Ruby having to see her sister struggling to raise her.
If Ruby is ok then Yang is ok and if Yang is ok then Ruby is ok, that's how their codependency works.
But this time Yang head wasn't about Ruby, while we as the audience know Yang tried a lot of times to help Ruby, little wolf woof didn't felt that way, she saw was Yang flirting with Blake, them finally being together.
Ruby starts feeling left behind, not only by the bees but by Weiss as well. She doubts herself, who she is, her purpose, what she wants and all that finally explodes which that's how Ep8 happens.
A life without Yang is a life without love for Ruby and a life without Ruby is a life without hope for Yang.
Yang is the one that loved her not matter what, the person that was always there for her during her 17y of life, she read her stories at night, she comforts her when she cries, she plays with her, etc.
Ruby is the one that made her keep going, everytime she had a dark cloud in her head then Ruby would be the one helping her clear it.
There's something so beautiful and poetic about how Yang was the one that raised Ruby and the youngest ended up being a beacon of hope for the world.
Which is why Yang understanding and accepting Ruby ascension and just waiting for her to comeback no matter what is so important.
Ruby finally found herself and fought with ther traumas, their relationship is not going to be the same but it's a start for both of them to finally create a more healthy relationship between them.
And it's really important that Weiss was the one helping Yang come to that conclusion and Blake being the one comforting her.
The xiao long rose sisters are slowly learning and growing, and we love to see it.

The new rwby short reminded me of one of my favourite aspects of team rwby. Which is that it starts with Weiss and Blake being two traumatised teens with dark backstories who meet Ruby and Yang who are like wow! You guys seem to have a lot of baggage and we'd like to help with that. We're just normal sisters but we'll do our best :D
And then cut to 9 seasons later when Weiss and Blake have conquered their demons, reconnected with their families and are slowly healing meanwhile every small drip of lore we get about Ruby and Yang's family feels like this

Ruby: Ask him out already!
Yang: I can't! I don't know what it is, but any time I try to ask him out, I freeze up!
Weiss: Well, he's helping out at the vet clinic if you're so interested.
Yang: Yeah, but Zwei is completely fine.
Zwei: (Runs in, Barking)
Blake: (Smashes a chair over Zwei)
---------------------------------------------------
Jaune: Oh, hey, Yang! What's up?
Yang: H-Hey, Vomit Boy. Uh, could you take a look at Zwei? He doesn't look so good.
Zwei: FUCK. YOU.

All I wanted is a Happy Xiao Long Rose Family AU in RWBY.
Instead, all I see are fanfics trying to tear the family apart.
Why can't there be a happy fanfic of the family?

There's just something so kind and lovely about WBY ready to wholeheartedly accept Ruby for whatever she chooses to come back as, that no matter what happens Ruby is still their family and they will love her all the same and there is literally no force in the universe that will break them apart like-- they are stuck in the world of dreams and terror and the exit is there but they will protect Ruby with every ounce of their being from the cat, they will give her the time to figure whatever it is out and there is literally no doubt in their minds that they will be there for her like
The situation is fucked, Ruby was pushed to the brink and her team bore the brunt of her frustrations and Ruby is sorry and her team is sorry but there's this unquestionable love that wraps around it all like a blanket and the very essence of their relationship is how much they care about each other and I think that's so special

Yang and Ruby’s definition of love was based on each other as that’s the love they got
What do you think it did to them
What would it do if your definition of love had no choice but to hurt you what would you do if you had no choice but to hurt them back
Yang could be the best older sister in the world that won’t give her a bigger age gap it won’t give her a parenting guide book it won’t make her tall enough to reach a medicine cabinet at 5 years old it won’t bring her mom back to life or give her a healthy framework to base how she treats Ruby she can only guess and even with all the best guesses it would still mess Ruby up
Ruby could be the most well behaved kid in the world that won’t make her any less of a toddler it won’t make her less hungry it won’t make her less confused it won’t make her ok after her mom died it won’t make her any less upset when her needs can’t possibly be met it won’t save Yang it won’t bring their childhoods back
They love each other so so so much they kept each other alive in a broken situation after the tragedies that befell their family but their was no other options it had to hurt
