Was Watching Random Early Vol. Clips Of Rwby And Suddenly Remembered Ironwoods Crush On Glynda! Genuinely

was watching random early vol. clips of rwby and suddenly remembered ironwood’s crush on glynda! genuinely so cute and wish we could’ve seen them two interact more. at first it seems like glynda can’t stand him, but then they have that moment together when they talk and you realize that they really are friends and she cares abt him! they didn’t even necessarily have to get together, but it would’ve been great to see more of their friendship. maybe even if glynda got to show up in vol. 8 and “talk ironwood down” or whatever. 

it’s just such a shame bc even though ironwood clearly wasn’t perfect in the early volumes, he clearly had such good intentions and was only doing his best. there was a clear intention for his worst aspects to be redeemed later on. but somewhere between his last appearances in vol. 3 and 4 & then his reappearance in vol. 7 there was a clear shift in the way crwby wrote & perceived ironwood, and that showed. he went from being a flawed but well-intentioned man who, even after everything, had a strong connection with his allies (his scene with glynda & the moment when qrow saves him from the grimm during the fall of beacon shows that) to a villain, a military man, a stubborn asshole, etc.

even then, there are so many moments of humanity in vol. 7 with him. his awkwardness, his emotions, him hugging qrow, his interactions with rwbyjnr at the start of the volume… i’m not saying that he was a perfect man. i’m not even saying the idea of him spiraling downwards and no longer allying himself with the heroes was a bad idea (i love a good fallen hero storyline & aspects of his militarism and lack of ability to trust others is apparent his early volumes!) i’m just saying that fully & completely trying to fit him into an irredeemable role just does not fit. he definitely didn’t deserve to be completely written the way that he was by the end

just think abt glynda’s words to him in the early volumes… that he always did what he thought was right/best even despite protest, and how that was admirable, but he needs to learn to trust his allies better. that does not equal a straight up villain in my eyes.

Beautiful.

Quick! An animation studio wants to animate HP, but you have to change one scene and make Adam say 'Pinkie Pie is really best pony' without it looking out of character.

Easy: when Adam saves that family from the debt collectors, the little girl is nearly inconsolable but her father grabs her toy ponies for comfort, one of which she's named Pinkie Pie. Adam does his best to comfort her, which involves him awkwardly repeating her insistence that "Pinkie Pie is really best pony."

You've seen RWBY tackle the difficult subject matter of racism!

...by beating up the minority and perpetuating the current system.

You've seen RWBY tackle the difficult subject matter of classism and wealth inequality!

...by beating up the union leader and perpetuating the current system.

Get ready for RWBY's next adventure, which based on this pattern will probably be them tackling the difficult subject matter of colonization!

...by beating up the indigenous peoples and perpetuating the current system.

I would rather Ironwood fight barehanded with pro-wrestling moves.

I hate that due process was literally just gungun

Its so stupid

Actually I hate that nearly every weapon in RWBY is a gun

Im tired of guns

Anyway Ironwood fans, how would y'all feel if we gave Ironwood a big ass axe? :P

Sooooryyyyy
