[up][up]Things like that seem obvious unless you think people would put aside what's actually going on in the story aside for cheap jokes.

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

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

[up][up]I'm not though? At least, I don't think I am?

[up]Adam is also pretty bug-fuck scary if you get down to it [lol]

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

The running away scene probably couldn't have been done better but it really didn't make much sense, because it relies on Adam just letting them get away for some reason.

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

Also, her confrontation with him always rubbed me the wrong way. Like, I didn't expect her to beat him yet, but it seemed like she was barely trying to fight and then they went with some stereotypical abusive man weak woman stuff...

It felt really off.

[up][up]... 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.

[up]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

[up][up]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 timesevil grin

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.

[up]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

Adam just letting them get away for some reason.

Because Adam is a creepy abusive ex-boyfriend. And creepy exes have to nail that exit raepwalk.

Make someone else fight Adam...I thought that was the thing people were against.

Thinks that first option be a better choice.

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."

[up]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 staycool

If I was Adam, I might find where Blake is hiding and send her a box containing Yang's arm.

The other arm. evil grin

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.

Yeah, unfortunately Yang ended up just lending Adam a hand in his effort to crush Blake psychologically.

[up]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

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."

[up]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 armevil grin
