*sits down calmly and takes a sip of tea* so when do you think i'll be able to look up Ruby fanart without discorse about how she should have spoken up sooner therefore missing the point of the She Doesnt Feel Like She Can regarldess of team RWBYs actions because she perfected repression at 5 years old because they lacked a reliable adult

REAL. REAL. SAY IT LOUDER

how was wby supposed to know how ruby was feeling when she consistently insisted that she was fine. when she put all of her feelings aside to focus on the task at hand. when she was told by the adults around her that she's the team leader, she has to be the one responsible for her team and to perform at her very best at all times. that she's the last of the silver eyed warriors. that she's essentially the last hope against salem

she has so much pressure to succeed and to put on a brave face and pretend that everything will work out in the end and like. it's the internal conflict of needing help but not wanting help. im so glad that she can get help now tho, that her friends and family are so so supportive of her

Yang taking acountability for her actions in making Ruby feel like shes jusy The Leader and also making a code word for when things are all ajeodjrkekkrr qith the brain

(Thinking of Ruby sayinf boba in the middle of a epic fight and Yang going WAIT PAUSE at the baddie and team RWBY having a family session in front of them while they go ???? Excuse you what??????)

i wonder if the boba code word is just going to be between the sisters of if they extend it to the rest of the team...... because yang was also kinda speaking on behalf of all of them when she was like "we're not putting pressure on you to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, we're not going back to how things were before"

i just aughghh i love that they had ruby outright say that she doesn't know how to ask for help. she wants help, but she's afraid of asking for it. and yang coming up with the code word system to help her express these feelings??? goodbye. that's EVERYTHING. best big sister ever i don't take criticism

if you look at the faraway shot of yang and ruby sitting you see yang manspreading again 😭 funky little butch lesbian

oh my god...... funky little lesbian i love you

do you know how much it means to have your biggest comfort character of all time look directly into the screen and say "you're not alone" im sobbing my eyes out

oh this hit me like a truck

rwby beyond really made me cry

Ruby and Blake short when

RUBY AND BLAKE SHORT WHEN

im so excited for rwby beyond
