(copy/pasted from the original E8 upload, but deleted over there) I haven't watched the episode yet but I've been waiting for this one for a few weeks. Why? It has what I think is one of the best-written scenes in the show. It's where the Blake button gets hit for Yang and, god, that hits me so close to home. That's how PTSD just WORKS. A ton of people shit on how Yang's PTSD is written but those people that usually DON'T have PTSD. I've seen SO many people with it comment on how well written it is and I think this scene exemplifies it so much. I won't do a 100% breakdown on it because that'd take too long. I did along-form breakdown of this and it relied heavily on more technical stuff. I'll try to summarise some specific points about that scene. But seriously, when I was writing out the intial scene breakdown, I was legit crying. All of Yang's behaviors just hit me so close to home. -The second Blake's mentioned, Yang's walls go all the way up. She's trying to avoid the topic entirely. Avoidance is one of the hallmark traits of PTSD. Weiss and Ruby don't really know how to handle it, so they just keep pressing the issue which leads to the Red Eyes Take Warning moment without her even realising. Outbursts of anger are also one of the diagnostic criteria. -Her hand shaking as it's brought to her attention is important. It hits on two of the diagnostic criteria, being intense/marked psychological and physiological reactions to things that remind the person of their past trauma. -She just walks away. There's the avoidance. Again. Also not wanting to get angrier at them. It's such a small scene, one easily overlooked, but the ebb and flow of the PTSD is just freaking MASTERFUL. The same thing happens when I start approaching my PTSD trauma. My walls go up, I want to get away, I get angry and frustrated... Even at my THERAPIST. I DON'T want to talk about it because it's so painful. It's upsetting and scary to try to go back to those moments. It's easier to just shut everyone out and try to push the awful feelings away. It hurts less to stay in the darkness than to actually get what you need.

Blake just gets all the suitors am I right?? 😂 but for real that Illa seen was so good, and her confession was surprising but really well done and I was so excited to finally see one of my own represented in the show!!

To answer your question on rather it’s a manipulation tactic yes and no. From my own experience my sister was very manipulative especially when I was in high school and made me feel like I was a bad person and tried to make me change to fit her expectations. However I also had teachers who taught me to question things the right way rather than accepting what I was told such as when looking at history and finding the true reasons for why people do things. So it can be a good thing and a bad thing depending on how it is used.

Yes, it's a manipulative tactic to make you question everything. It's a little thing called "gaslighting." it's what Jacques tried to do to Weiss when she said she wanted to leave. In the case of Raven and Yang, I think it was Raven more trying to poison the well. She was trying to get her to question if Ozpin really is worth following to try to turn Yang to her side. Others will probably say it, but the reason they're heading over to Raven's is because that's where the Spring Maiden is. Remember Leo works for Salem out of fear now. Qrow told them they thought the Spring Maiden was over with the Branwen tribe which is why Qrow was trying to gather so many of his contacts...but they were all mysteriously dead. Then Leo passed that info onto Watts (the smug, tall prick in a suit).

Fun little tidbit, the song playing when Weiss is talking about loneliness is her song "The Path to Isolation" My own version of loneliness is kinda self imposed to survive. Growing up with a speech impediment meant every time I met someone new at best they made comment on how cute my voice was, worst was the mocking. And then I moved to a new town and I had none of my old friends... and middle school kids can be brutal. Now the best case scenario was being called a weirdo and the worst case was being pushed down staircases. All the while the teachers turn a blind eye. When that is the case you have to decide, toxic abusers as friends.... or isolation. At first I choose the former, and it hurt every day until one day I found I was not able to bring myself to speak {selective mutism still hits me sometimes but not too often}. After that the bullying got worse and to little 10 year old me isolation sounded like the healthier option. Slowly I got my voice back and I would have people I would be friendly to but friends.... that was a different case. It took me years to have another friend and even to this day people irl that I consider friends is a short list. It takes a real effort for me to be comfortable around people and part of me is almost always scared still.

Replying to the philosophical question: love is definitely stronger than fear. You see the same message in Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings. The dark side is the quick and easy path. You want short term, easy gains? Tap into fear, anger, hatred. You want lasting, positive change? Love is the only way, even though it's harder to harness than fear. Fear, hate, anger and darkness only appear stronger but they aren't really. They may get you the results you want but they will ultimately leave you and the rest of society worse off. Love and compassion, the light side, is the only way to achieve lasting change and move society forward. As true in RWBY as it is in real life.

if you mean the bad guys? - remember the explanation about the artefacts - 4 powerful things locked away in 4 vaults under the 4 schools and each vault needs the power of the coresponding maiden to be opened - and the maiden for mistral's vault is in raven's camp

My version of loneliness has to do with trauma I have from an abusive relationship as well as growing up without an ADHD diagnosis until I was 13. People don’t know what ADHD really is and what it entails, nor is it seen as a legit disability. As someone who struggles with impulse control with talking, and I talk when I’m anxious/stressed, I grew up with people telling me I was annoying. In my past relationship, I was constantly told that no one else would ever love me because I was annoying and needy. A symptom of ADHD is RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria), and its an almost physical pain in reaction to the smallest rejections. I tend to isolate myself out of fear that people will reject me, call me lonely, think I’m needy, or see me as a burden. But by isolating myself I make myself much more lonely, and the need I have for validation grows exponentially. It’s an illogical cycle that spirals into panic sometimes. The more I need people, the more I push them away due to my own fears and past experiences.

Love vs Fear It depends on what you love. If you love a person for what they offer you - their love, validation, entertainment, etc. - then fear will overwhelm those things. Those things are replaceable. But if you love someone for who they ARE, their flaws and their strengths, their mannerisms and quirks and their heart...that’s not replaceable. That’s when love overcomes fear...when it comes down to preserving what we love.

Brad Kirkwood

love is stronger than fear but only when you let it be, let fear control you and it WILL beat love, stand up to it and be ready to fight for your love and it will be stronger though going that way can lead to pain

Wow, what a handsome comment that was at the beginning. To the follow up question? Yeah, definitely.. Sadly I think it's somewhat common.

Oh boy I have many thoughts First, around 10 minutes, you talk about Weiss saying that all boys care about is the perks of her last name and how that ties into her father’s abuse. As a probably 8+ time watcher of this show, that’s something I’ve never picked up on, and I really appreciate both you noticing it and the opportunity to have some light shed on another part of the awesome writing that I didn’t recognize before now. Also, Weiss saying that everyone has their own version of loneliness hits so hard... for me, I found it easier as a child to avoid people than deal with the awkwardness, difficulty, and potential rejection that could come from being social as an autistic person. For many years I was content just, being alone, but around when I became a young adult (18), I grew up and grew out of that mentality. Generally speaking, I really became present in the world for the first time, no longer passively existing. I formed political and social opinions, found new hobbies, started trying new things and acting in the interest of my future self. But most importantly I found that I desired friends. Unfortunately, the shame and doubt I feel about myself still holds me back and I don’t make or have many friends, but I try every day to be more comfortable around people. Lastly, love vs fear. I think fear is more powerful than love. It is very easy to fear someone or something, and it is also very easy to instill fear in someone or something, while it’s very hard to love or instill love in someone or something, but doing that is what makes the world a better place, so that is what we must always strive to do.

You could say, she got... ...Yangry =D

I still have mixed feelings of Yang being angry at Blake. Blake went to see her family after not being in contact for so long. Ofc Yang doesn't know this but as a viewer, it makes me uncomfy

My version of loneliness from my childhood: first my parents divorcing, I hate change, and constantly going between homes was hard, then my dad found a new partner, they married in a year. It was fine at first, but then the yelling started. I got yelled at by my stepmom a lot. Sometimes it felt like my fault since the things I got yelled at were how I acted and reacted in certain situations. Now I know I have autism and adhd and that explained a lot, but it still didn't mean I should be treated like that. She also complained (and still does) about my mom to me and it hurt so bad, she doesn't know my mom and accuses her of things that aren't true. At the same time that was happening, I started to get bullied at school for my weight, and I guess being "different" due to my disorders had something to do with it. I didn't really have real friends until I was 13 and I still sometimes feel like I don't fit in even with my current friends (who have been through similar things and understand me thankfully). There are so many things I could add but you get the idea. But as a nice ending: Me and my girlfriend have been together for almost 6 years, and sure during the first few years I felt "lonely" due to insecurities, trauma response is hard to get rid of. But I've always known she wouldn't leave me and still to this day she is the one person I can trust 100% and don't feel lonely with.

That's the whole thing. We have information that the characters don't. It's unfair to use that information to cast aspersions on a character who is angry about the information that they do have. You can't be mad at someone for something they don't know.

Oof, I feel you on the Autistic loneliness bit. I've at least had a couple of good friends all my life, but now that I've reached adulthood (almost 30), it's pretty crippling. Especially during lockdown. I have some IRL friends, the same ones I did as a kid, but it's not like I can hangout with them. I have some good online friends too, but it's not the same as face-to-face interaction. I *want* more friends. But getting out is hard and I still feel the loneliness from being Autistic.

About love and fear, I don't necessarily think one is stronger than the other, it all depends on the person. For some, the two may even be intimately linked. As we see in this episode, Yang has a fear of abandonment, but loves Blake, it is precisely the abandonment felt at Blake's departure, which awakens her fear, because she cares about her, which makes him so hurt and angered her. It is a fact, some people take fear over love, like a parent overprotecting their children. But love can also be triumphant in overcoming fear. To stay with my last example, a child reassuring his parents, proving to them that he loves them and that they don't have to worry so much, will allow their love to overcome their fear. In another genre, a person revealing to be transgender or homosexual, will be less afraid if he is surrounded by love from his relatives (families and friends). I have spoken here just of individual cases, but even as a group, fear will only creep into those who are sensitive to it, just as love will reach those who are more sensitive to it too. For me, all is a matter of sensitivity above all.

Ironically my kind of loneliness is being around people who you can't relate with and who don't allow you to be yourself, ostracising you if you don't conform. Once you can't act/speak what you really think & feel you don't even have yourself to keep you company. That's when you're truly alone.

My version of lonliness is being in my wheelchair. It's not the loss of legs. But the loss of freedom. I also have grand mal seizures and no matter how hard I try I'll never be "me" again from 23. They all try to say I'm still me on the inside but I'm not. The chair changes fundementally who you are. You'll always be a second class citizen because you just can't make the world 100% accessible. I can't even go into my towns pizza parlor or use the park veranda. I'm 41 now and I've been in the wheelchair 18 years. I've basically been in a wheelchair my entire adult life too sick to work and have fun, and just well enough to want more out of life. Making peace with your own fate is the only thing that got me through it. I have a pretty decent life and husband. Everyone always sees my smile and "happiness". I never let them see the hurt.

My version of loneliness would be realizing early on that I would always be second choice, never first. Mother chose herself first before me, father chose significant others first, and the repeating pattern with the relationships in my life made me also choose myself second. It's been a constant battle to find my self-worth after years, but I'm getting there slowly. It's because of this that I feel I relate closely to Weiss and Blake, their choices, thought processes, and life experiences are very relatable to me personally.

My version of loneliness has to do with me being very obviously disabled (I use a power wheelchair). The loneliness has less to do with what I can't do than what people assume I can't do. I've lost count of the number of times people haven't invited me somewhere because they assume it's something I can't do even though in most cases I could've made it work. It's gotten worse since I started college, which has a lot to do with the fact that I take up most of a dorm room with my big ass chair. I've always been in a wheelchair, so sometimes I forget how long it takes people to get used to it. My endless stream of bad wheelchair jokes definitely helps

I love rewatching this with you because for the first time I noticed that Ilia's eyes change color too and that she's blushing when telling Blake how she felt
