Qrow: Alright this has got to stop. First the garden, then the scrapbooking, and now this…this.. knitting?
Taiyang: It’s actually a lot of fun. Here take this.
Qrow: What the hell is it?
Taiyang: Its a sleeve I made for your flask. See it even has a little bird on it. Do you like it?
Qrow:<voice cracking slightly> it’s ok I guess
Summer: Stars can’t see how brightly they shine..they can only see the shadows they create.
Taiyang: Why be high as a kite when you could be fly as a kite?
Raven: Bring a shoe that’s three sizes too small and use it to leave a shoe print at the scene of the crime
Qrow: When people say “it’s a long story” it’s usually code for “Mind your own damn business”
Something’s been bugging me for a while about the introductory sequence in RWBY for a while, and I couldn’t put my words on why. Coming from the anime community, I’m very aware that the final background story hasn’t been entirely plotted. Often manga artists have such long stories ahead of them they can sort of roll with an idea and come up with the rest later, which doesn’t make their “hints” in the beginning of their stories 100% able to correspond to what they decide to do with the Explanation later.
However, I came across an interview (don’t ask me where, I can’t remember) where Miles and Kerry stated that Oz’s and Salem’s background story was some of the first they’d finalized. In other words, the beginning of RWBY should correspond to what we’re shown in the beginning of Volume 6.
Now, what I first want to point to in volume 6 are three facts:
First, we’re shown how Salem manipulated humans into waging wars on the gods. She feeds their greed and she suggests that they can basically become gods themselves; Immortal, at the very least.
Second, the series goes out of its way to point to Salem as the root cause of Humanity 1.0’s destruction. While it was certainly the God of Destruction that purged humanity off the surface of the world, if she had not gotten involved it would not have happened at all. Idk if I agree that it is so black and white, but the fact that she “blames everyone but herself” certainly speaks to the fact that she never thought she was to blame, which I definitely disagree with.
Third, when Ozma returned she didn’t tell him that she had played a part in humanity’s destruction. She blames it on the gods. And Ozma, having only been told by the God of Light “I’m afraid that your world has suffered a terrible tragedy at my brother’s hands” and “humanity is no more” probably ended up believing her.

-Yang or Ruby: Mom-
Raven and Summer, simultaneously: What?
-Ruby has four parents who are Concerned™️ that Ozpin let her into Beacon early, but also proud af because they all helped train her.
-“You’re not my real dad!”
-At least 50% of the student body at Beacon has Summer listed as their emergency point of contact, either because she lives closer than their family or because they have no one else.
-Yang: Can I-
Raven: Ask your mother.
Yang: …mom.
-STRQ are frequently guest speakers at Beacon, and after the girls start going, Raven and Qrow start competing over who can embarrass them the most.
-Ruby, after Qrow won’t let her do something: Tai is my only dad now.
-Summer: Your whole team is invited over for winter break.
Ruby: What about Team JNPR? They don’t have anywhere to go for breaks either.
Summer, already tripling recipes in her head: Just invite everyone.
-Raven gets Yang and Ruby to do her dirty work and pull pranks on Qrow and Tai (she’s still not over the fact that they don’t let her participate in their prank wars). Summer pretends like she doesn’t notice (they don’t let her participate either).
-Raven questions Blake relentlessly about her skill and semblance the first time they meet, until she’s satisfied that Blake is a good partner for her daughter. Yang is embarrassed, and Blake is On Edge because what is it with her and black-and-red-themed-red-sword-wielders?? Once she becomes more comfortable around Raven though, she admires her and talks with her frequently about fighting and attack moves.
-Weiss is Overwhelmed™️ because Parents Are Like This In Real Life?? Warm hugs?? Conversations over meals?? Family sit down dinners that aren’t uncomfy and stilted and forced?? Ruby I can’t believe your mom knitted me a sweater she doesn’t even know me?? “What is this?” “Affection.” “Gross….do it again.”
-Nora calls Summer “Mom”. Everyone is 100% okay with this.
-Taiyang helps Pyrrha train Jaune. Qrow observes and offers scathing -but surprisingly helpful- comments.
-Ren helps Summer in the kitchen. Once he gave Summer a hug because she told JNPR that they’re welcome to come over any time, and Summer was the one who cried.
-Raven, clutching both Yang and Ruby: Don’t talk to me or my children ever again.
-STRQ watching the Vytal Tournament.
Raven, any time any of team RWBY do anything: I TAUGHT HER THAT MOVE!!
-Team RWBY fighting alongside Team STRQ when Cinder attacks Beacon. As a result, Beacon not falling but RWBY being clued in on the secret war raging between Ozpin and Salem.
-Summer helping Ruby understand and control her Silver Eye traits.
-STRQ being protective because RWBY are too young to be in a war.
Ozpin: They’re almost the same age that you were.
Summer “Momma Bear” Rose: Is that supposed to help your case?
