A menagerie is a group of wild animals kept in captivity which makes the name of the island kinda messed up 😅 I love the fact Sun went with her (though I’m not an advocate for stalking). Blake is suck in a cycle of running away from her problems. Which in this case is fine as she needs the time to recoup, but she’s also ran away because she feels guilty for what happened. Which is why having Sun there is so good because acts as the reassurance she needs that what happened wasn’t her fault! In Yangs case it definitely something she needs to push through herself, though her father is there is give her a nudge. I find she’s the sort of character that won’t make the steps in towards healing unless it’s her decision to do so.

MY SISTER! She's convinced she's an empath and knows people better than they know themselves. I don't tell her stuff anymore because it's absolutely infuriating when she tells me I'm wrong about my own feelings. I can't get too mad at a guess, but after I've told you how I feel, you can't just tell me I'm wrong. No one can tell me I'm wrong about what's going on in my own head.

God that Yang scene always get me. Like i have PTSD Ive BEEN there and still kinda am; the low energy and depression, the flashbacks, the fear of moving forward even when close friends and family try to help. Its all so real and beautiful and painful. Like I get wanting Yang to put the arm on and move on but its not that easy, being in such a state and trying to to make such a big change is absolutely terrifying and takes so much time and care. This is one of the reasons why I love this show so much, the way trauma/abuse/recovery is depicted is done with so much care and respect to both the tough topics and the characters going through it. I just love Yang's arc in general cuz its just soooo accurate and beautiful and just great. Like I'm better now but still have off days that look almost EXACTLY like what Yang goes through here. Sorry for the long comment but this is really important to me and I just wanted y'all to know.

The captain is such a fun minor character. Also I appreciate Blake finally ditching the bow—cause now we can see her kitty ears emote with her.

Man, Yang's arc this volume hist me so hard. I have PTSD from how badly I was bullied as a kid from 3rd-9th grade. A lot of people in the fandom say that it was handled poorly. At somebody WITH it, I heavily, HEAVILY disagree. I understand a lot of the little nuances that come with it. And Yang shows a LOT of them in this Volume and the next. My personal favorite PTSD scene for her is in the next volume, though. But the ones in this Volume is SO good. Yang's lethargy in this chapter is beyond relatable. Even though she's being presented with a chance to help recover, she pushes it away. You can see there's already been a SIGNIFICANT timeskip between the end of V3 and her story. It's either spring or summer (everything is lush and green). So that means she's let herself settle into that darkness and despair. Once you get there, it becomes SO hard to leave. There's a reason the trope Hope Is Scary exists. It's because it IS. The darkness becomes comforting. It feels safer to stay there because the hypervigilance that comes along with PTSD tells you to avoid situations that could replicate what you went through. Why risk it? You'll end up hurt like that again. The seduction is SO easy to fall into. Look back at my comment on the Indomitable video (on YT itself). I was in a deep depression for over two years to the point of giving up the thing I love absolute most (writing). It honestly took me until early last year to finally pick myself up fully out of it thanks to that song. Having people to support you is one of the best things in mental illness. Someone like Taiyang. They can give you small nudges to help you, but, in the end, you can't pick yourself up until you're absolutely READY to. Even if you're presented with the opportunity... You won't take it until you FEEL ready. I wasn't ready to start writing again for a long time. It took a MAJOR push from a freaking PANDEMIC to get me to do what I loved most. But I was just in such a dark place with no healthy coping mechanism. So I went back to the thing that helped me above all else. And that's what Yang's arc is. She won't be able to put that arm on until she's READY for it.

Is it weird that I was, at this point just happy for Yang to be alive? She's my favorite character and my friends were absolutely convinced she was dead to rights partway through volume 3.

Yeah this volume is definitely the recovery volume. Everyone, even Cinder, is still reeling from what happened at Beacon and everyone is totally scattered both literally and mentally.

Also a fun fact about Menagerie: it's actually mentioned WAY back in V1 during the Burden and the Badge stuff. Oobleck was talking about the Faunus Wars/Faunus Rights Revolution.

I think the most annoying thing a person can say is "I know exactly how you feel/what you're thinking." There's no way a person can actually read my mind or know what I'm thinking, and even if they're close the full scope of the thought/experience can't be fully expressed. Similiarly "I know what you're going through." Every person has a different experience, and even if a person has been in a similar situation there are nuances that another person isn't going to fully grasp. Alter it to "here's what I think" or "I've been in a situation like...(x)...but what's your take on it?" It allows conversation flow without trying to predict/assume.

Edit: Not quite the same topic, but similar. One of my favorite quotes is from Robert Asprin's "Phule's Paradise" : “There are no silly fears....If you’re afraid of something, it’s real, and it affects your thinking and performance no matter how invalid or valid someone else thinks it is. It’s like there’s no minor pain when it’s yours. If it hurts, it hurts. What you got to do is figure out how to deal with it, not use up your energies trying to decide if it’s real or not.” We all experience pain, fear, and trauma differently. While talking it out and getting help is a critical part of healing, there is no way the other person is going to fully understand what you're going though, nor should they assume they know what you're going through.

Somehow I feel like the Schnee family is far from losing their livelihood, lol

So the Blake situation is complicated. She knows that Adam is obsessed with her and will never leave her alone, She also knows that even if Adam didn't have the support of the White Fang she couldn't possibly fight him by herself. That fact was made painfully clear during the Fall of Beacon. However, she feels that she cannot ask others, like her friends, to fight with her as they would get hurt. Again, during the fall of Beacon, after Adam tells her, "I will make it my mission to destroy everything you love," and Yang shortly after enters the view of the window calling out for her, you can see the fear in her eyes. Not for herself, as she had been defiant against Adam up to that point, but for Yang. Adam saw that too, and that's why he stabbed Blake: he knew that her crying out would get Yang's attention and cause her to come rushing in to within striking range. Also, when Adam approached Yang to finish her off, Blake crouched down protectively between him and her despite how outmatched she was. Between these two examples I think that it's clear just how much Blake cares for her, but she feels that she cannot involve Yang or her other friends any further even if Yang were in any condition to fight (Blake doesn't know about Ironwood commissioning the cybernetic arm for Yang.) As long as he refuses to leave her be, her continued presence would only continue to put her friends in danger from Adam who's been shown to be way too strong. Therefore she's doing the only thing that she can think of to do to keep the ones she cares about safe: run away and put as much distance between them and her as possible so that Adam won't even think of targeting them again. As for why she's returning home, Blake probably believes that Adam, even in his obsession wouldn't go and attack his own kind, and Menagerie is a word that literally means "a collection of animals in captivity", though it can also mean "a strange or diverse collection of people or things". Due to this Blake thinks that this might be the one place she can go and get her thoughts in order in peace, but only time will tell if she's right.

Fun little character lore easter egg in this ep, most of the characters are based on a fairy tale / folklore / myth, and Sun is based on Sun Wukong from Journey To The West! So when he says on the boat "it'll be a regular journey to the east!" .. yeah :)

Definitely one of my favorite episodes. I absolutely love the sea fight with Blake and Sun and I’m hopelessly in love with the song that plays during it, Like Morning Follows Night.

I feel that often a broken relationship can never return to the way it "used to be" but rather it becomes an entirely new relationship with new dynamics. I have also found that anytime you have a relationship with a lot of emotion tied to it that giving it some time and space is key to moving forward.
