The issue here is Blake running away is a chararter flaw, she said so herself in voume two(granted it didnt have much sense there because her arc was about rushing to stop roman) when she finally face Adam, the source of her fear, what happen?
Blake: im not running Adam: you will
And...run she did, run she did
she maybe did the right choice, but Yang feel devasted for that, because in a way she dosent trust they can take him so run is the only option, that is why she is push back into square one, because Adam prove that yeah, you do need to run
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"![]()
I'm not though? At least, I don't think I am?
Adam is also pretty bug-fuck scary if you get down to it
I mean, he's either the leader of, or a very high up, in a well-known terrorist organization. Which is not something most people want to deal with

Now that I think about it, Yang, Weiss and Blake fill the scarecrow,tinman and coward lion analogy:
Yang was trick into a trap because she didnt THINK before acting, rushing into combat
Weiss need to lister her heart to stop being the "ice princess"
And Blake need to have bravery to stand on her own aainst Adam
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"![]()
... That does make sense now that you point it out.
It also illustrates that, despite being the most "childish" of her team, Ruby is, ironically, the most well-adjusted.
Yang's too headstrong, Weiss puts up too many emotional barriers, and Blake has issues with facing her fears.
As I said before, I'm honestly thinking Blake was in shock and scared as hell that Adam was there. the Faceless Mooks of the White Fang are one thing, but Adam being there is a whole 'nother thing. It wasn't that she wasn't putting up a fight for the "stereotypical abusive man weak woman stuff", but more like she was scared shitless, which negatively impacted her fighting ability.
Aaaanywhoo, I'm going to pass the hell out. G'night all

It feel jarring become a moment earlier she said "im not going to run", a moment later she is beaten easly, if you see the whole thing quickly, it look like worf efect.
Also, in many ways I like the whole Adam/Blake/Yang scene because it look like the typical subversion of the "friend/love one come to rescute" which help to establish how much of a treat Adam is.
And like i mention a lot, is funny how Adam, being a Bull taurus just stay there while Yang CHARGE at him....like a bull, irony can be funny a times

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"I feel that to face Adam, Blake needs more than just bravery. Namely, strength and strategy.
Ideally, also diplomacy. It would be great that instead of having to fight him straight on, she can somehow either convince that he doesn't want to fight her (or at least, that fighting her goes against her interest), or make someone else fight him.
Of course, none of the students are capable of something of that capacity.
Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.
Is bravery to face Adam AS TEAM, not a loner who just happen to be friends around, they are her team, not her burden.
Also I doubt that will work out, Adam was already betrayed by her so he wants revenge, any talk is over and he is not going to stop until every friend of her lose their hand, that way they will learn
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Make someone else fight Adam...I thought that was the thing people were against.
Thinks that first option be a better choice.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.You know, about Blake running away to save her friends from Adam... I feel like her running away would make things worse. Because Adam seems like a guy who when he says he will do something, he will do it, no twists or buts about it. In fact, he would probably be more motivated to do it since then he can guilt trip the hell out of Blake.
"You abandoned your friends like you abandoned me, Blake. And look what happened to them? This is all your fault."

Only sometimes posts
Pretty much, Adam kick Blake right into "is all my fault, I cant make friend" phase by showing what he could do, now she have her fear justified
and that walk....while I fun to make fun of Adam for being a edgelord, black nocturen is right, the guy is pretty damn scary since he is the dread, at least to Blake an it very well show why.
so, yeah, the edge is here to stay
Would you also look up her school records...see if she's doing well...
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.![]()
And them mock her for it
"Look dearling, you fail Math and go and - D? another thing that is your fault"
Also, there is some sense of dark humor about Adam did to yang, after all Yang tend a hand to Blake and he made sure he cant do that anymore.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"
For some reason I imagine this
Sun: you come from me like you did with yang?
Adam: no
Sun:....what?
Adam:I mean, why?
Sun: well, im Blake boyfriend
Adam: you?.....really? she never spoke of you
Sun:no? no once?
Adam: let me guess....you are Neptune right? way no, you are Sage, no no that is not right.....Jaune right?
Sun:......I hate you

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"At this point, I'm starting to wonder what's even the point of the Team SSSN.
I'm not a Bumblebee shipper (because fuck that ship, and yes, I said it), but I rather dislike Sun X Blake either. And don't even get me started with Weiss X Neptune, I don't need to be a White Rose shipper (because hell yeah, Lancaster!) to loathe that "ship."
Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.
why you dont like bumblebee, curiosity more than anything I think both are the posibility(which is diferent from outright been somthing) of being a thing, I think Sunx Neptune work better(ether as couple or a bromance) white and Rose...yeah I dont see, even less Neptune X Weiss, for some reson I do see Sunx Velvet
And of course, Adamx Yang arm

I don't know how often that happens here, but there will probably be angst about it.
