Ruby was right. We're here to make the world better.
[[folder:Volume 1]]
[[folder: Ruby Rose ]]
* In a strange way, Ruby admitting that she doesn't like skipping two years to go to her dream academy, because she doesn't want to be seen as special. It shows that she's quite responsible despite her usual bluster.
** Also, immediately after Ruby admits that she doesn't want to be seen as special, Yang puts an arm around her shoulder and says, "But you ARE special." Awww, Yang!
** Made even better by the fact that she doesn't say it in her usual enthusiastic tone, but rather, in a calm, sincere voice, showing that she isn't just trying to boost Ruby's confidence, she just considers it a fact.
* The voices of Torchwick's goons in the first scene were a pair of MakeAWish beneficiaries. A kind gesture from people who played some bad guys.
* The Japanese dub begins with [[http://i.imgur.com/b9NCQ69.png this.]]
[[folder: The Shining Beacon, Pt. 1 ]]
* Jaune's interactions with Ruby in general are [[{{Adorkable}} very awkward yet very sweet.]]
[[folder: The Shining Beacon, Pt. 2 ]]
* Blake starting to warm up to Ruby when Ruby says she also likes books. Ruby then talks about how she was inspired to become a warrior after Yang read to her stories of heroes.
-->'''Blake''': That's...very ambitious for a child. Unfortunately, the [[RealityEnsues real world]] isn't the same as a fairy tale.\\
'''Ruby''': (smiles) Well... that's why we're here. [[AWorldHalfFull To make it better]].
* The credits theme, [[https://soundcloud.com/jeff-willizams-55/gold Gold]], is all about Yang being a good sister to Ruby.
[[folder: The First Step, Pt. 1 ]]
* Pyrrha's genuine friendliness towards Jaune, even when he ignores her to hit on Weiss and just as readily moves to hit on her, is kind of nice.
* Yang trades some friendly banter with Jaune after Weiss and Pyrrha leave, and Ruby helps him up and walks him out to the deployment area. It's all quite nice to watch, and the two social misfits certainly have some great chemistry.
[[folder: The First Step, Pt. 2 ]]
* Pyrrha quickly looks around upon landing and sees Jaune flailing through the air, and her first instinct is to save him, by way of impaling her spear through his clothes from at least a hundred feet away. Keep in mind that it pretty much leaves her with a plain shield in the middle of a forest infested with creatures of Grimm.
* Ruby, mulling over who she knows at Beacon, considers Yang, Jaune, and Blake as partners... before running into eye contact with the one ''other'' person she knows: Weiss. Despite their rocky relationship prior, neither party does the BigNo, and they accept each other as partners with minimal fuss (beyond Weiss briefly checking to see if another candidate is nearby). Ruby even smiles shortly after eye contact and is happy when Weiss returns to her.
** The fact that Ruby immediately brings up Jaune when thinking about getting another partner apart from her sister. All because he's ''nice and funny''. If only because he doesn't look strong enough, Ruby would be completely comfortable with the idea of spending the next four years with Jaune as her partner.
* When Pyrrha arrives to where Jaune is still pinned, she teasingly asks him if he still has room on his team. After some feigned offence on Jaune's part, the two look and smile at each other.
* Despite her efforts to get Ruby to make new friends and saying it might be better for her to partner up with someone else, Yang's first instinct is still to look for Ruby.
[[folder: The Emerald Forest, Pt. 1 ]]
* Despite their relationship still being rocky (before and afterward), when a flaming tree nearly falls on Ruby, Weiss' first instinct is for ''both of them'' to cut their losses and run. She could have easily left her there, but chose not to.
** "I could have KILLED you!" Weiss actually seems more [[AngerBornOfWorry mad about almost hurting Ruby]] than she does having her attack interrupted. Keep in mind: Weiss is the "Technicial", compared to Ruby the "Performer".
* Pyrrha's prayer-like [[SuperEmpowering unlocking]] of Jaune's Aura.
** Most of Pyrrha and Jaune's interactions in general. Jaune not knowing things about the RWBY universe, and Pyrrha going out of her way to explain things to him. Other people would have probably been annoyed at his ignorance, but not Pyrrha.
** In a way, the aura unlocking could be seen as a sort of marriage, with their souls binding together.
* "Boop."
** [[TheStoic Ren]] smiles for the first time after Nora "boops" him. Not just any smile, mind you; it's the ''adorable'' "what am I gonna do with you" smile.
** Listen to Nora's tone; it's the softest she's ever sounded. Not surprising, considering exactly [[CannotSpitItOut what]] she's really saying to Ren.
[[folder: Players And Pieces ]]
* [[CallBack Once again]], Ruby is in trouble, and Weiss' first instinct is to save her. And this time, it wasn't something that endangered herself at all.
* The only time Nora loses her cool in this episode is when the Deathstalker slams Ren into a wall. Process that for a moment. Being in the middle of a ''death-forest'' doesn't stress her. Being besieged on both sides by what could qualify as living ''mobile fortresses'' doesn't stress her. Ren possibly getting hurt? Yeah, PrepareToDie immediately.
* What Ruby whispers to herself after Weiss buries the hatchet with her. Not to mention the burying of the hatchet itself.
-->'''Weiss:''' You're ''[[BeYourself fine]]''. ''[walks off]''\\
'''Ruby:''' [[spoiler:...[[IJustWantToBeNormal Normal knees]]...]]
* Yang rushing to try and saving Ruby from the Deathstalker, and as soon as she's had her moment with Weiss, the first thing she does is run up and hug her little sister.
* Yang's smiling, wordless SoProudOfYou moment as the teams are leaving the temple.
-->'''Blake''': What is it?\\
''[{{beat}} of watching Ruby leading the way]''\\
'''Yang''': Nothing.
** Plus, Blake's smile after the above exchange suggests that she could tell what Yang was thinking.
* For one of the final parts of Team RWBY's plan to beat the Nevermore, Weiss has to cast a dozen Glyphs in an instant to propel Ruby up the cliff. A moment after Ruby lands on the cliff wall, the camera pans back to Yang, Blake and Weiss. Blink and you ''might'' miss it, but Weiss falls to one knee in exhaustion after pumping out so many spells so quickly. Consider this for a moment: not only does Weiss trust Ruby enough to exhaust herself for Ruby's plan, but Ruby reciprocates it by leaving her safety in Weiss' hands, since, if the spell had failed, Ruby would no doubt have gotten killed either by falling or being exposed to a direct attack from the Nevermore.
* In Episode 7, Professor Ozpin had seemed only vaguely aware of Glynda's comments about Jaune not being ready for Beacon until the team announcements at the end of Episode 8. He singles out Jaune alone for personal praise with a very "I'm proud of you" tone. In other words, he's basically announced to the entire academy that Jaune has proven he has every right to be at Beacon.
* Pyrrha's brilliant grin the moment Jaune is announced to be the leader of team JNPR.
* Jaune's surprise at being named team leader by Ozpin. He was clearly not expecting it, as he was looking at Pyrrha moments before Ozpin said his name, expecting her to receive the honor.
* Yang's reaction to Ruby getting put in charge was rather sweet. It really shows how supportive she is of her little sis.
[[folder: The Badge and The Burden, Pt. 1 ]]
* [[TheStoic Blake]], who prior to this has been mostly cold and standoffish, is now gleefully engaging in Ruby's and Yang's morning antics.
** There's also the fact that Weiss deigned herself to participate in decorating the room ''at all.''
[[folder: The Badge and The Burden, Pt. 2 ]]
* Professor Port gives Weiss a combination of a mild lecture and a pep talk when she complains about not being leader of Team RWBY, rounding it out by encouraging her to focus on being the best ''person'' she can be, instead of worrying about being the best ''leader.''
** Not to mention his unshakable faith in Professor Ozpin's judgement.
* Professor Ozpin's pep talk to Ruby is also pretty heartwarming, as she was feeling rather down after being chewed out by Weiss earlier. He told her off about her assumption of leadership, warning her that she may have been given it, but she still has to earn it, but he does so in a gentle way that gives her confidence to take his advice instead of knocking her spirit even further.
* Weiss making up with Ruby at the end of the episode after getting over the fact that she wasn't made team leader and having taken Professor Port's advice to heart (and seeing that Ruby's trying to take her role a bit more seriously by studying - taking Ozpin's advice even though Weiss doesn't know that).
-->''[Weiss nudges Ruby to wake her with a soft "Ahem!"]''\\
'''Ruby:''' Weiss! I-I-I was studying, and then I fell asleep--I'm sorry!\\
'''Weiss:''' ''[covers Ruby's mouth and spots her mug]'' How do you take your coffee?\\
'''Ruby:''' I-I don--\\
'''Weiss:''' ''[irritably]'' Answer the question!\\
'''Ruby:''' [[SweetTooth Cream and five sugars!]]\\
'''Weiss:''' ''[sighs]'' Don't move. ''[drops down to her bunk and comes back with coffee]'' Here.\\
'''Ruby:''' Um...thanks, Weiss...\\
'''Weiss:''' ...Ruby, I think you have what it takes to be a good leader. Just know that I am going to be ''the best'' teammate you will ever have. Good luck studying. ''[goes to leave but stops to point at Ruby's paper]'' That's wrong, by the way!\\
'''Weiss:''' ...Hey, Ruby?\\
'''Ruby:''' Uh-huh?\\
'''Weiss:''' ...[[JerkWithAHeartOfGold I always wanted bunk beds as a kid.]] ''[exits]''
[[folder: Jaunedice, Pt. 1 ]]
* Glynda's expression as she finishes her lecture on Jaune. She obviously doesn't think of him as a competent fighter, but that only makes her even more concerned about his well-being.
* Ruby and Pyrrha sharing the same concern for Jaune because of how [[JerkAss Cardin]] treats him. They try to get him to admit he's being bullied so he can ask for help. It just shows how much they care about Jaune.
** Nora can also be seen with a sad expression on her face during the discussion, something very rare, and offers to help, if [[DisproportionateRetribution "We'll break his legs!"]] can be called ''help''.
[[folder: Jaunedice, Pt. 2 ]]
* Pyrrha telling Jaune that she "really ''will'' break [Cardin's] legs", after watching Jaune just take his crap ''again''.
* The simple fact that Pyrrha was more than willing to help Jaune train.
[[folder: Forever Fall, Pt. 1 ]]
* So, [[spoiler:Cardin is Blackmailing Jaune]]. What makes Jaune decide enough is enough? Being forced to be their lackey? He can live with that.. An inspirational speech from Ruby? It's effective, but nope. Tasked to get a large amount of Rapier Wasps in the middle of the night? Nope (though admittedly he doesn't get stung for his trouble). An attempt to get revenge on Pyrrha? ''Oh yes.''
* Pyrrha throughout the episode. While she does act cold, and the looks she gives are heartbreaking, all of it points to just how much she cares for Jaune.
* Ruby's little chat with him in the hall, with her expressing to him the same confidence in Ozpin's decision as Professor Port had about Ruby's. Plus, passing on some of the gist of what Ozpin had said to her that day.
** And quite frankly, the way she kept saying, "Nope!" was adorable.
-->'''Jaune''': ...I'm a failure.
-->'''Ruby''': ''(cheerfully)'' Nope!
-->'''Jaune''': "Nope" ?
-->'''Ruby''': Nope! You're a leader now, Jaune. You're not allowed to be a failure.
-->'''Jaune''': But what if I'm a failure at being a leader?
-->'''Ruby''': Hmmm... ({{Beat}}) Nope!
-->'''Jaune''': Heh...you know, you're not the easiest person to talk to about this kind of stuff.
-->'''Ruby''': [[RuleOfThree Nope!]]
[[folder: Forever Fall, Pt. 2 ]]
* Do what you want to Jaune himself, but here's some friendly advice: you ''don't'' mess with his team ''or'' his friends. '''''Ever'''''. That is a '''''terrible''''' idea.
* First, the obvious: Pyrrha manipulating Jaune's shield to protect him from the Ursa's right paw. But also the conversation with Ruby and Weiss afterward. It's clear that we don't really need to know ''why'' Pyrrha's very supportive of Jaune; all we need to know is that she'll always be there for him, even when Jaune himself doesn't know it.
-->'''Ruby:''' We have to tell them what happened!\\
'''Pyrrha:''' Or... We could just keep it our little secret.
* Jaune acknowledging he had been a jerk for the last few days (weeks?) and apologizing to Pyrrha. And Pyrrha accepting without reservation.
-->'''Pyrrha:''' Jaune, it's okay. Your team really misses their leader, you know.
* The smile on Pyrrha's face when Jaune finally asks for her help in training his combat skills.
[[folder: The Stray ]]
* In spite of all the drama, seeing Weiss and Ruby low-five (which one would hardly expect from Weiss) was pretty cute, and shows their friendship really does exist.
** Even more potent is that Weiss is the one who initiates the low-five.
* Ruby can't help but say yes to Penny's request for friendship despite the wishes of her teammates. Penny's exuberance is adorable, if uncanny.
** This also shows the CharacterDevelopment Ruby has undergone over the course of the season. Accepting a friendship request even at the discouragement of one's existing friends is quite a difference from the girl in Episode 2 who didn't feel the need to socialize when her sister was around.
* The fact that Weiss [[spoiler:even went out with Ruby and Yang to look for Blake. How she feels about Blake is unknown, but she's willing to put those feelings aside and help her friends.]]
[[folder: Black and White ]]
* Weiss declaring she doesn't care that [[spoiler:Blake was once a member of the White Fang]] and insists that she talk to her teammates the next time something serious happens.
** Also when she proceeds to talk to Sun, you can hear her nearly call him by the names she used in the last episode, but she stops herself just before she does so. It could be for Blake's sake.
* Penny decides to wipe the floor with a few dozen White Fang goons because they hurt Ruby, thus rewarding Ruby for agreeing to be her friend earlier.
** Also, Ruby telling her to stay back where it's safe.
* Blake as a child [[spoiler:protesting alongside White Fang]]. She's so [[BadassAdorable adorable]]...if you can ignore the context, at least.
* Ruby trying to "diffuse" any possible situation with [[spoiler:Blake and Weiss]] at the end.
** The {{Adorkable}} part is that Ruby doesn't quite understand the actual problem. [[spoiler:"Weiss; it's not what you think; she doesn't actually wear a bow; she's got these kitty ears, and they're actually kinda cute!"]]
* Aside from Weiss choosing to look past Blake's past and consider her a teammate, there's just something poignant in the way she restrains herself from disparaging Sun in front of Blake. Considering how liberal she's been with insulting the Faunus an episode earlier, she's clearly not the girl she was 12 hours earlier.
* Sun hanging around with Blake--a near-total stranger--for two days, because he thought she needed the company. [[HeroicBSOD And she did.]]
[[folder:Volume 2]]
[[folder: Best Day Ever ]]
* Emerald and Mercury may be a new pair of antagonists for this volume, but their VitriolicBestBuds routine can be quite endearing. One might wonder how either would react to the other being in any genuine peril.
-->'''Mercury''': ''[in a sarcastically pleading fashion]'' Oh Emerald, master thief! Please don't take my money! I barely have enough to get by!
* Blake looks over her notes, which contains a pencil drawing of ''Adam'' from the back, with his rose symbol just below that. She doesn't say anything, but it's clear that despite deserting him in the Black trailer, she's still a little worried about him.
** On a secondary note, on the facing page is the ''old'' White Fang symbol and Adam's drawing has a training sword and no Grimm mask. These were before their violent turns, showing how she prefers to think of them, rather than what they are now.
* Let's take a brief moment to bask in Weiss' character evolution so far. When Blake makes a move to isolate herself, Weiss stands up and encourages them all to do something together. She was doing two things here which warm the heart. First, after Ruby explained her intentions in detail about spending their last day of free time together Weiss is the first to support her efforts. While she might not be advocating for the specific scheme Ruby has in mind, she is taking the initiative to accomplish Ruby's endgame of spending time together. This is in major contrast to how she started in volume one, where she treated Ruby as either a hindrance or as a rival through most of the episodes. Second, she is specifically attempting to wrangle Blake back into the group and not allow her to isolate herself. While this gesture is not as obvious as it becomes in episode two, Weiss is clearly trying to reach out to the girl. It's particularly poignant considering all the things she said about Blake's species and former organization at the end of volume 1.
** Then she promptly gets ''pied in the face'', which was fairly adorable in its own right. Doubly so if we take Nora's sudden cry of "I got it!" to mean that her solution to what to do today was in fact the ensuing food fight. And while we cut away from her full reaction, anger didn't seem to be part of it ''at all''.
* Gotta love the bromance going on between Sun and Neptune in the episode.
* Sun is ecstatic over the opportunity of introducing Neptune to Team RWBY, speaks of them in idolizing tones, and makes a point of emphasizing Blake's desire for secrecy of her heritage in earnest. He's got a big smile on his face when he sees what the two teams [[FoodFight are doing.]]
-->'''Sun''': I love these guys.
* The mere fact that everyone is willing to engage in this wholesale silliness is pretty heartwarming by itself. Yes, this would come naturally for Nora, Ruby, and Yang, but this seems like the kind of situation that Blake, Ren, Weiss, (and to a lesser extent) Jaune and Pyrrha would just as well like to avoid. That everyone jumps right into it without a second thought speaks to how much the teams have loosened up and become more tightly knit.
** When Ruby is haming it up with the "fallen comrade" scene, Weiss doesn't react. She's playing along as the "fallen comrade" in question. In other words, she's indulging her silly teammate.
* During the food fight, you really get to see how good the teamwork in RWBY has gotten. They trade off on fighting and block blows for each other throughout the fight. This enables them to stand in equal footing to [[BoisterousBruiser Nora]] and [[TheAce Pyrrha]].
* The epic food fight between RWBY and JNPR has ended, Glynda has cleaned up, and finished chewing them all out. How does everyone react? Nora belches loudly, Yang falls through the roof, and after a brief pause? Both teams, still a complete mess, bust up laughing. Then Ozpin shows up just in time to cool Glynda's head--they ''are'' still kids, after all.
[[folder: Welcome To Beacon ]]
* According to Jaune, Weiss was nice enough to tell him and his team about Blake's "status".
** Even better [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykADdGwqwpU according to a livestream interview with Monty]], Blake had said it was ok to tell them. It shows that Blake must trust team JNPR as much as she does her own team.
* When Weiss' advantage in their card game crumbles she falls back down into her chair in waterfall tears. Then Ruby, still in tears herself over her own move being ruined, tries comforting her.
-->'''Yang:''' Trap card.
-->'''Weiss:''' Huh?
-->'''Yang:''' ''[rearranges the board]'' Your armies have been destroyed!
-->'''Weiss:''' ''[slumps into her chair crying]'' I ''hate'' this game of emotions we play!
-->'''Ruby:''' ''*[leaps into Weiss lap and hugs her still in tears herself]'' Stay strong, Weiss! We'll make it through this together!
-->'''Weiss:''' ''[still emotional, hugs Ruby back and pulls her close]'' Shut up! Don't touch me!
** Notice especially that Weiss says not to touch her--and THEN goes in for a ''bigger'' hug. Her heart seems to know better than her head. Or hold more sway than her head.
* The flashback in which Ozpin tries his damnedest to get Blake to open up. It's very clear he cares about his students and is saddened by prejudice that the faunus fall under.
-->'''Ozpin''': I admire your drive, and I am proud to run a school that accepts individuals from all walks of life. Rich, poor, human... ''[beat, takes a sip of coffee]'' ...faunus...\\
''[Blake looks away.]''\\
'''Ozpin''': ''[with a hint of sadness]'' Why do you wear that bow, Blake? Why hide who you are?
** Even when he becomes a bit more down-to-business during that conversation, while asking if Blake still has connections with the White Fang, it's not because he's judging her--he is protecting his world, and his students. Only when he begins to mention a possible threat does his expression and tone turn hard, and when that passes, he goes back to a worried and sad expression, asking Blake to please speak to him if anything is bothering her, not just if she has any more information about the incident. He makes it clear that he does care about his students, ALL his students, very much.
* How much Ozpin believes in protecting his students, and very subtly, that he believes they can take care of themselves as well - all expressed in one sentence.
-->'''Ironwood:''' But ask yourself this: Do you seriously believe your children can win a war? (slowly turns to leave)
-->'''Ozpin:''' ''[when Ironwood leaves]'' ...[[WarIsHell I hope they never have to.]]
* Weiss noticing Blake's depression, and calling her out on it, getting her to open up to them, just as Blake promised at the end of Volume 1. The way she dramatically poses on a chair just to ask Blake what is wrong is adorable ''and'' funny. Looks like Ruby's rubbing off on her.
** Following this, Blake does indeed tell them what's wrong; what's bothering her. They listen. Weiss tries to tell them to wait until they're ready, but when she's outvoted (again) she decides to lend her support as well.
[[folder: A Minor Hiccup ]]
* Sun's response to Ruby's attempts to discourage him from helping them investigate the [[WesternTerrorists The White Fang]].
-->'''Ruby:''' Sorry Sun. We don't wanna get friends involved if we don't have to.\\
'''Sun:''' That's dumb, you should ''always'' get friends involved.
* After Jaune fails to flirt with Weiss and everyone leaves, Yang ruffles his hair and tries to reassure him on the way past.
* Despite how scared Penny obviously is, she's adamant that her father loves her and is genuinely worried about her well-being.
** Ruby herself expresses an understanding and appreciation in regards to her own father.
* There's something about the delivery of Ruby's "...oh" at the end that seems to carry an understanding, almost comforting tone, instead of something more shocked or along the lines of "...huh. Interesting."
* Ruby and Penny's interactions are very sweet. When they meet to discuss what happened after the night at the docks, Ruby appears by Penny's side with a hand on her shoulder, just smiling. From then on, the entire thing almost feels like a date.
[[folder: Painting The Town ]]
* Ruby takes Penny's RoboticReveal very kindly and assures her that she has a heart and soul.
-->'''Ruby:''' You think just because you have nuts and bolts instead of squishy guts makes you any less real than me?\\
'''Penny:''' ''(surprised and confused)'' I don't... Um... You're...taking this extraordinarily well.
* Weiss sending Blake a glyph to attack on, even though it means Weiss herself falls.
* Penny's conversation with the soldiers while Ruby was hiding was particularly telling; they really were worried for Penny. Ruby's smile suggests this wasn't lost on her, either.
[[folder: Extracurricular ]]
* The episode opens with Pyrrha kicking the ever living crap out of Team CRDL. Yes, it's awesome seeing her beating them all on her own, but if you remember how much they bullied Jaune back in Volume 1, along with the hints that she loves Jaune and the '''[[NoKillLikeOverkill brutal]]''' way she finishes off Cardin, it's pretty likely that she asked to face them at least partly because she was still mad and wanted payback. [[CallBack It's just too bad she didn't get to live up to her threat to break Cardin's legs.]]
* Team RWBY has taken up the task of planning the dance in hopes of trying to cheer Blake up who is not doing so well thanks to the worry born from previous episodes. So far it seems to be for naught, as Blake angrily declared the dance to be "a colossal waste of time".
* While training Jaune gets this confident little smile on his face when he manages to surprise Pyrrha. Immediately after she gets that same mischievous smirk from volume one right before she knocked him on his butt and does it again. This time she can't help but laugh after she knocks him on his butt during training but it has a charming mix of amused friend and proud teacher.
-->'''Pyrrha:''' ''*Laughing*'' Well done! You sword play has improved immensely!\\
'''Jaune:''' Couldn't have done it without you.
* While it mostly shows how [[ObliviousToLove oblivious]] Jaune is to Pyrrha's feelings, it is also rather heartwarming at how ridiculous he finds the thought that Pyrrha isn't popular among the guys.
-->'''Jaune:''' Please, if you can't get a date, I'll wear a dress. Ha!
[[folder: Burning the Candle ]]
* Seeing that Jaune's feelings for Weiss are genuine and how he only has eyes for her to the point of obliviousness for other women. It was nice to know that he really does admire her and can look past her RichBitch attitude to see her good points.
** Despite knowing each other for a few months and the fact that he barely ever speaks, Jaune already trusts Ren enough to divulge such personal feelings. He considers Ren to be like the brother he never had. Ren even admits that he feels the same about Jaune.
* Pyrrha's IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy moment, where she encourages Jaune to speak from his heart about how he feels about Weiss. Nora dejectedly tells Pyrrha to practice what she preaches.
** Even more so when you realize Nora's not just telling Pyrrha that... she knows that ''she'' should take that advice as well, given the song "Boop."
* Yang's backstory while [[TearJerker sad]] has it's heartwarming moments, namely when she's talking about her family. Specifically, Summer Rose went missing while on a mission, and Yang's own birth mother left as well for reasons unknown. Yang, determined to find out more about her mother, took Ruby in a wagon and searched through a dark, dirty, and dangerous forest. When she got to an abandoned house, Yang was about to fall off her feet from exhaustion... and was greeted by a pack of Beowolves. The only reason she and Ruby survived was because [[BigDamnHeroes Qrow was nearby]]. This also implies the person she was looking for in the Yellow trailer was her mother - and instead of being weak and tired, that was when Yang is strong and powerful. She's definitely grown since that incident.
** Blake's reaction was very telling. For most of this episode, and the one before it, Blake has been moody, morose, and cold. While Yang was speaking (very softly, at that), Blake's fatigued and stern glower slowly drops. By the end of Yang's monologue, Blake's looking down at the floor, clearly upset, offers her sympathy, and even admits that she understands now why Yang's trying to get her out of this funk. Even at her absolute worst state, Blake still manages to be TheEmpath.
* Yang is ''pleading'' with Blake to calm the hell down regarding her obsession with White Fang and Torchwick. Blake vehemently believes that capturing Torchwick is more important. It gets to the point where Yang ends up shoving Blake to the table in frustration. When Blake, peeved, gets back up, Yang simply... [[YouAreNotAlone hugs her.]]
* Blake greets Sun with, [[CallBack "I knew you'd look better with a tie on"]] before he gets a look at her and it's [[DistractedByTheSexy left without words]] for a moment until he asks her if they're actually going together. The smile on his face when she says yes is really {{Adorkable}}.
* A minor one, but Weiss is seen talking with a stranger and smiling, which shows how she has been [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosting]].
** Also minor but no less sweet, is Yang's reaction to seeing Ruby in her dressed-up outfit. The level of proud sisterly squee in "Ooooh, you look so beautiful!" is certainly touching.
* The fact that Yang had no idea that Summer wasn't her real mother until ''after'' she went missing definitely counts. The woman clearly loved Yang as if she were her own.
* Ruby and Ozpin's chat during the dance was very interesting. They discuss how fighting is like dancing, how one cannot spend all their time on the battlefield, and how amazing it is when friends can spend time together. Ozpin is speaking to Ruby in a tone of equality, and it's very interesting how easily the two can converse.
[[folder: Dance Dance Infiltration ]]
* Ruby and Jaune's friendship is still going strong.
-->'''Jaune:''' So I see you're hiding behind the punch bowl as well.\\
'''Ruby:''' Yeeeuuup.\\
'''Jaune:''' ''[holds up his glass in mock seriousness]'' To the socially awkward.\\
''[Ruby giggles, and they clink their glasses]''
* Jaune took a joking remark that he made to Pyrrha, and held himself to it.
** And Jaune setting his own anger/jealousy aside, in the end, talking to Neptune.
* After learning that Pyrrha didn't bring a date, and settling things, there's only one thing left for Jaune to do; arrive wearing a freaking dress. Despite everyone laughing, even Pyrrha (though good-naturedly, and after a valiant attempt not to), he's not embarrassed in ''the slightest'' as he asks if she wants to dance--which she's ''thrilled'' to. Even more heartwarming is to hear Pyrrha go from depressed to completely giddy schoolgirl as Jaune takes the lead, pulls her to him, and then leads her onto the dance floor.
-->'''Pyrrha:''' ''[Turns to see what everyone is laughing at]'' ...Jaune...? ''[Smirk starts to creep across her face]''\\
'''Jaune:''' ''[In a dress with no trace of embarrassment]'' A promise is a promise.\\
''[beat, Pyrrha tries not to laugh, smile growing bigger by the second]''\\
'''Pyrrha:''' ''[Bursts out laughing]'' Jaune! ''You didn't have to!''\\
'''Jaune:''' Hey, [[IGaveMyWord an Arc never goes back on his word]]. Now, do you want to stand there and laugh at me... ''[Offers his hand]''...Or do you want to dance?\\
'''Pyrrha:''' I...''would love'' to dance! ''[Jaune suddenly pulls her to him]'' Oh! ''[He leads her to the dance floor]''
** The look on Jaune's face as he's revealed wearing the dress. He's putting himself through enormous ridicule and mockery, in front of the entire school, no less, all so he can make Pyrrha smile. The fella may be ObliviousToLove, but he clearly cares for Pyrrha in his very own {{Adorkable}} way.
* Thanks to Jaune's advice, Neptune approaches Weiss again after things went a little sour and puts a good word in about Jaune to boot:
-->'''Weiss:''' So what made you change your mind?\\
'''Neptune:''' Huh?\\
'''Weiss:''' You said you were embarrassed at first. What made you come talk to me?\\
'''Neptune:''' You're looking at him. ''[scene briefly shifts to the dress-wearing Jaune still dancing with Pyrrha]'' You've got some good friends looking out for you.
** And if you watch Weiss' face carefully, you'll notice her smile going a bit crooked as Neptune says this. Point that Jaune's intentions were actually good all along has been taken.
* Pyrrha's friendship with her team and RWBY gain a new light after we learn about her past. She knows perfectly what love and friendship are but lost these two after becoming a champion. This whole time she has been searching and hoping to find these again and we even see her attempting this with Weiss, only to be placed on a pedestal once again. Cut to her meeting Jaune. From this point forward, her ''dream come true''.
* Penny's guards don't treat her like a "thing." The one in red was dancing with her by the end.
* The only two people who don't seem to be having fun are Ozpin and Glynda, who are standing together on the sidelines, in a silent but comfortable sort of way, watching everyone else having fun. Unlike the other teachers, they're not even drinking. Ironwood interrupts them to ask Glynda, who was coldly dismissive of him a few episodes ago, to dance. She rolls her eyes and looks at Ozpin who gives her a subtle nod of permission, resulting in her instantly accepting Ironwood's request as she actually smiles.
* For some reason, Ren's expression when asking "Wait, what is happening?" looks like he knows what's happening, but is teasing Nora. Ahh, playful banter.
* Blake laughing along with Neptune and Sun, and generally enjoying herself at the dance, after having spent the past two episodes in a prolonged emotional and physical breakdown.
[[folder: Field Trip ]]
* Ruby is feeling ashamed about letting [[spoiler:Cinder Fall]] escape from her at the dance. Ironwood reassures her that what she did was honorable and brave.[[note]]This is after a lot of fans fearing he would be blaming Ruby for the events.[[/note]]
* Weiss, Blake, and Yang, aware of what happened during the ball, crowd around a downtrodden Ruby once she's back from Ozpin's office. While Weiss notes that Ruby's decision was rather risky, Blake, who'd recently been running herself ragged trying to investigate what was going on, defends Ruby's actions while Yang reassures Ruby that things will be alright.
** Many fans feared Blake would go back to running herself ragged after hearing the news of what happened while she was having fun, but thankfully, this isn't the case at all.
* Ozpin, realizing that Team RWBY would go to the southeast region, rules or no rules, bends the rules for them. The girls appear to be genuinely grateful for his lenience.
* Ruby and Yang discovering that their father mailed them the family dog Zwei in a tube. It's undoubtedly bizarre, but the way they act makes it obvious that the two of them enjoy their father's antics.
** Such antics also serve as proof that their father has somewhat managed to recover from the loss of his wife.
** Then there's the pure joy and giddiness Ruby displays at seeing Zwei again: a huge smile upon seeing him, jumping for joy, and baby talking to him in the background while Yang explains Zwei (or Taiyang) to the others.
* Weiss almost immediately taking a liking to Zwei.
* The reason why so many characters are [[ColorfulThemeNaming named after colors]]? As a reminder of the great war, where art, culture and freedom of expression were all oppressed. People named their children after colors to show that no matter what, what they fought for will live on forever.
* It's a small moment, but Velvet was never worried about failing their mission, which ran a week late, simply because she had Yatsuhashi looking out for her.
** It was also good to see the show of concern from the main cast and them interacting with her versus how she had to deal with team CRDL's bullying alone.
[[folder: Search and Destroy ]]
* Just when you think Ruby's gonna get chewed out for doing ''two'' things wrong, Doctor Oobleck immediately approves of Zwei joining them on the mission, gushing over their excellence performance in hunting and such things.
* Doctor Oobleck's entire speech on why he became a Huntsman, especially his conviction on how to best serve mankind. It made him shoot up in a lot of fan's favorites list.
-->'''Oobleck''': As a Huntsman, it is my job to protect the people, and although I am capable of doing it with traditional weaponry, I believe I can make a much larger impact if I do it with my mind. As a teacher, I'm able to take knowledge, the most powerful weapon of them all, and place it in the hands of every student that passes through my classroom. I look at this wasteland, and I see lives that could have been saved, but I also see an opportunity; an opportunity to study these ruins and learn from this tragedy, and therefore become stronger. I am a Huntsman, Ruby, because there is nothing else in this world I would rather be.
* Oobleck's interaction with the team is very endearing. He was introduced as a somewhat impatient MotorMouth constantly zipping around, and upon seeing that he would be their guide, Team RWBY obviously didn't think much of him, particularly his combat abilities. Oobleck is then shown to be a very considerate and thoughtful person- he concedes to Ruby's [[LoopholeAbuse logic]], praises her ingenuity in bringing a dog to a tracking mission, converses with the girls respectfully, listens to and carefully thinks over their words, encourages them to think deeper about their opinions and motivations, and conducts his lessons in a slower and more mellow pace than previously seen in the classroom.
* While the rest of her team is struggling to figure out their true motivation for becoming huntresses, Ruby almost reflexively takes first watch. As she watches out over the city, Weiss, Blake, and Yang are clearly struggling to get to sleep. Ruby, stroking Zwei as she does, says, "Don't worry. Things will be better, tomorrow." There's a reason why Oobleck didn't have to ask Ruby why she chose to fight.
[[folder: Mountain Glenn ]]
* Glynda comforting Ironwood when he expresses his fears that Ozpin is leaving him out of the loop despite his years of service.
* Team RWBY, sans Ruby, discuss their reasons for why they wanted to be Huntresses, and to make a difference in the world. However, just like last episode, they think the answers they gave before weren't satisfying enough, and begin to understand that being one is/takes a lot more than they expected...but it's still a worthwhile job. In the corner, the (apparently) asleep Oobleck overhears them--and has a [[SoProudOfYou tiny little smile.]]
* Weiss reveals the reason she left Atlas: she's fully aware of the morally-dubious turn that her family's company has taken, and she hopes to put things right--something a regular job wouldn't do for anyone.
[[folder: No Brakes ]]
* Yang catching Ruby and spinning her around in their reunion hug.
* When the team needs back-up, Ruby ''immediately'' decides to call for Jaune.
* Weiss has no hesitation in handing Blake a clip full of Dust right before they go into battle, as well as attacking the White Fang's lieutenant and trusting Blake to finish the job up ahead. Given their differences at the end of last volume, they've come a long way.
** Even better, the Dust clip provides elemental effects to Blake's [[NinjaLog Semblance]], allowing her to use them for something else than running away. Not only did Weiss hear Blake's concerns about the matter, but she ''listened'' and deliberately provided something to alleviate those concerns. Moreso when you realise that Weiss may have sourced said Dust from her own rapier, sacrificing her own combat abilities to help her teammate.
* When Blake is offered the choice between taking her revenge out on Torchwick, who was taunting her this whole time, or helping Weiss, she quickly goes to her friend's aid (though she does knock-out Torchwick with a kick, just for good measure).
* Doctor Oobleck's bond with Zwei, and vice versa, as well as their FastballSpecial attack.
[[folder: Breach ]]
* When Jaune gets a missed call from Ruby, his team isn't entirely worried about it, but he figures something is wrong and tells them they are investigating. He even assures Ren that they can go to the village he wanted to visit in the future. What a true friend.
* When Pyrrha sees Jaune about to square off against an Ursa, she is genuinely frightened for his safety (the last time he faced one, it would have killed him if she hadn't intervened). When he proceeds to [[CurbStompBattle hack it to pieces in no time flat]], she gives him a satisfied smile, clearly pleased that his training has gone so well.
* When Fox's punch made a big Ursa explode and send spikes flying everywhere, Yatsuhashi stands in front of Velvet, shielding her from the spikes.
[[folder:Volume 3]]
[[folder: Round One ]]
* Ruby paying a visit to Summer's grave to give her a summary of her adventures in the previous Volumes.
** It ends with a flock of birds flying into the setting sun, recreating Monty's rather unique signature.
* According to Emerald, Team RWBY is always happy around each other and friendly to everyone they meet. Yes, that includes the normally stuck-up, temperamental Weiss and the antisocial, brooding Blake. Seeing Team RWBY so comfortable with one another is such a far cry from the tensions that nearly tore the group apart in Volume 1.
* Pyrrha offering to pay for Team RWBY's meal after Weiss' credit card gets declined.
* Minor example amidst the otherwise hilarious scene of Blake vainly trying to save her bowl of fish. The moment it gets nabbed by the shopkeeper, Weiss' look towards the dejected Blake indicates she feels bad the latter may not be getting her fish just because her card got declined.
* Learning that Nora and Ren have nowhere to go (apart from Beacon) because they're orphans gives a new light to their relationships with each other, and the others of Team JNPR + Team RWBY: as far as they're concerned, they're the only family they have. It also makes Jaune's remark that Ren is like the brother he never had, and Ren's admission that he feels the same way a lot more heartwarming in hindsight.
* Ren telling Jaune to stand up for himself against a rather hurtful comment about his fighting skills even if it came from Nora, his own partner and Jaune's teammate (not to mention, Jaune technically is Nora's leader). It's a notable step on their friendship considering he didn't really bother to say anything to Jaune when he was being bullied in the past.
** Jaune doesn't get mad at Nora and, instead, accepts that she's "not wrong" about him, which also hints that he ''has'' gained some confidence without letting it go to his head.
* Ruby makes a comment about "girl pockets" when Emerald gives her wallet back. A small friendly poke about Monty stating in a tweet that he intentionally designed each character with pockets so that cosplayers could carry around their valuables at conventions.
[[folder: New Challengers ]]
* When Nora first uses her semblance in the match against BRNZ, Port says that she's one of his favorite students.
* Ruby and Weiss cheering for Jaune and Neptune respectively.
* Pyrrha's about to laugh at the team attack name but as soon as Jaune thinks she might not like it, she stops and tries to convince him of otherwise.
* When Jaune is arguing with BRNZ, Pyrrha calls for him and he takes a moment to suppress his anger before speaking to her. It's a small thing, but considering that he previously raised his voice against her in Volume 1, the fact that he made such an effort just to not accidentally do so again says a lot about much he has grown to care for her.
* Weiss complementing Jaune's [[TookALevelInBadass increase in skill]] during JNPR's fight. Especially because she's the only one of his friends who didn't have faith in his ability.
* Blake blushing when Sun gives her a smile after SSSN's victory and empathizing on his dork nature.
* Weiss's reaction to seeing her sister arrive via airplane. Points to her voice actress, Kara, for being able to convey so many feelings in just two simple words.
[[folder: It's Brawl in the Family ]]
* Weiss's [[BigBrotherWorship entire behavior]] around her [[CoolBigSis older sister Winter]].
* Despite [[JerkassFacade Winter initially scolding Weiss for her performance in the tournament]], she doesn't question her about anything else related such as her grades or her ranking and, instead, puts the topic aside and shows to be more interested in Weiss's health, daily life, and even her friendships. Lastly, she decides to use what little free time she has left to be with her younger sister.
* Weiss points out Ruby when Winter asks her if she's made any new friends. The little interaction they have right after just makes it clearer.
** While it's as crisp and stiff as every other sentence out of Winter's mouth, and prefaced with her comment about finding Ruby underwhelming, Winter thanks Ruby for being friends with her sister.
* When Qrow pushes Weiss aside to confront Winter, we see Winter narrow her eyes in anger that someone would treat her sister like that.
* Ruby first seems concerned when Weiss tells her that someone is attacking Winter, but as soon as she sees that it's her uncle, she starts jumping up and down with excitement and loudly cheering him on.
* Penny waving at Ruby and Weiss before she leaves. It brings a smile to both of their faces.
* Ruby's reunion with her uncle Qrow and his reaction toward his niece's enthusiasm. It's very evident that Ruby absolutely ''adores'' her uncle. And sloshed or not, Qrow adores her right back.
** He even repeats her favorite phrase "nope!" right back to her when she asks if he missed her, probably a sort of childhood game between them or one of Ruby's quirks growing up.
** The entire interaction, from Ruby [[TheGlomp hurtling out of nowhere and latching onto Qrow's arm]], her exuberant "Hi!" and excitedly asking if he missed her to their little fist bump as Qrow leaves is so tooth-rottingly adorable you'll need to schedule an appointment with your dentist.
-->'''Ruby''': '''''UNCLE QROW!!!''''' ''(Jumps and latches onto his arm)'' Hi! ''(Qrow raises his arm, bringing her up to eye-level)'' Aahh, it's so good to see you! Did ya miss me? Did ya miss me?!\\
''([[{{Beat}} beat]])''\\
'''Qrow''': ''(smirks)'' Nope! ''(Tussles her hair)''\\
'''Ozpin:''' Qrow. A word, please.\\
'''Qrow:''' ''(whispering to Ruby)'' I think I'm in trouble.\\
'''Ruby:''' You ''did'' kinda tear up our courtyard.\\
'''Qrow:''' ''(smiles)'' Yeah. ''(winks)'' I did. ''(fist bumps Ruby)'' Catch ya later, kid.
* Even though it looks like Winter started the fight, Ironwood doesn't jump into conclusions nor scolds Winter. And when they meet with Qrow at Ozpin's office, he defends Winter and puts the blame on Qrow for provoking her.
* It's small, but despite their two family members duking it out in the courtyard and each siding with their respective relative, Weiss and Ruby don't seem to have let the Winter v. Qrow fight come between them and go back to joking about after it's over.
[[folder: Lessons Learned ]]
* Velvet's shocked response to Coco's defeat shows how much she cares about her teammate. And then to top it off Fox wordlessly leans across and puts a hand on her shoulder reassuringly. CFVY is clearly a very close-knit team, and this just demonstrates it again.
* Qrow, Yang and Ruby are all playing a video game together in Team RWBY's dorm. Its just a nice family moment.
* The sheer pride in Qrow's voice as he talks about Team STRQ. He even carries a photo of them around from their student days and waxes nostalgically about many crazy adventures they used to go on. He even called them the "coolest team that ever has ever graduated Beacon."
** When Yang locks onto her mother in the photo, Qrow ''immediately'' puts it away and changes the subject. The man cares for his nieces and he knows them well enough to avoid that subject.
* Qrow giving advice to Ruby and Yang about their future as huntresses, and he brings out this one inspiring quote from a [[Creator/MontyOum certain someone]].
-->"You two, you're going to go far. But only if you keep learning. '''''If you never stop moving forward'''''."
** Switches over to TearJerker if you have the Youtube captions turned on:
-->*Excuse your transcriber as she goes and cries in a corner*
* Winter and Weiss having tea together, where Winter compliments her sister's progress made on her own, tutors her in her glyphs, gives her a hug and then encourages her to live her own life outside their father's influence.
** As Winter leaves, we get an uplifting reprise of "Mirror Mirror".
-->''Some believe in fairy stories, and the ghosts that they can't see.'' \\
''I know that I could do so much, if I could just believe in me.'' \\
''Mirror Mirror, I'll tell you something. I think I might change it all.''
** A really minor detail, but still endearing: right as Winter and Weiss turn to go their separate ways, Winter looks over her shoulder at Weiss one last time. While only a small gesture, it really cements how much Winter cares about Weiss's well-being.
** Similarly minor, but last episode, while under the watch of Atlas military escorts, Winter says her mission + how long she was staying were classified. In private with Weiss this episode, she told her sister the details of both parts, without reserve and despite military training that classified ''means'' classified no matter what.
[[folder: Never Miss A Beat ]]
* Penny seeing Ruby and immediately making a beeline for her and giving her a flying hug.
* Penny likes having Ruby for a friend so much that she wants to transfer to Beacon.
* At the start of the fight, when Flynt was talking to Weiss, Yang tried to leap to Weiss' defense before Neon cut her off.
* Flynt and Neon are at first extremely rude to Weiss and Yang. While Neon is just agitating Yang to be TheGadfly, Flynt has a more personal reason for disliking Weiss: Flynt's father owned a Dust shop that was put out of business by the Schnee Dust Company. [[spoiler:After Weiss sacrifices herself to save Yang from him by shoving him into a flaming vent:]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Flynt''': That was a gutsy move, Schnee... [[WorthyOpponent I dig it]].]]
** Even better is that this is a CallBack to Mountain Glenn where Weiss explains that she wants to become a Huntress so her family name will be remembered fondly instead of reviled for her father's actions, which is exactly what happens here.
** Weiss simply offers a heartfelt apology for what her father had done, without any of the indignance or defensiveness that the Weiss from previous volumes would've shown.
* After Neon spent the entire match ruthlessly taunting and mocking Yang and setting herself up to be an AlphaBitch bully opponent, it's actually kind of sweet that she drops that act the minute the match is over, enthusiastically congratulates her opponents, and expresses a genuine interest in getting to know them outside the arena. Turns out the baiting just that--good old-fashioned trash talk that was never malicious.
--> "That was...amazing! You guys were so super-crazy-awesome! We should ''definitely'' party sometime."
* After winning the fight Yang goes right to Weiss to [[spoiler:see if she was OK after she took a hit for her]] and is soon joined by Ruby and Blake, who [[spoiler:congratulate the two.]]
** Yang gently teasing Weiss about her form at the end of the match, a CallBack to the beginning when Weiss instructed Yang to watch her form.
[[folder: Fall ]]
* Pyrrha still humbly declares that she only made it to the singles round thanks to her teammates.
** When Qrow insinuates that the opposite is true, Pyrrha actually becomes angry, and in her own subtle way, asks Qrow just who the hell he is to her.
* The story of the Four Seasons. The Maidens chose to help the Old Man out of the goodness of their hearts for no other reason than it was a kind thing to do. In return, he blessed them with power. [[spoiler:Power great enough that its still exists to this day.]]
** Pyrrha mentioning fondly that her mother loved that fairy tale in particular.
* [[spoiler:Despite being thrown into the deep end with shattering revelations about the world's history, Pyrrha unhesitatingly agrees to become the new Fall Maiden in order to safeguard humanity. Crosses with TearJerker, as it's very obvious throughout the whole scene that Pyrrha is very upset and scared by everything that's going on right now and doesn't ''want'' to be the Fall maiden, to have yet another spotlight on her, but will go through with it because she's [[ExtremeDoormat Pyrrha]] and she holds everyone elses needs above her own.]]
* RWBY happily cheering Yang on in the finals round, [[spoiler:even if it does end badly.]]
-->'''Ruby:''' [[HarsherInHindsight Break a leg, sis!]]
* [[spoiler:When Yang wins her fight against Mercury, the rest of her team congratulate her with cries of joy - Blake even leaps to her feet to applaud her. [[TearJerker Too bad it doesn't last though]].]]
[[folder: Beginning of the End ]]
* Emerald's affection for Cinder suddenly makes sense when we learn that, before Cinder recruited her, she used to make a living out of robbery.
-->'''Cinder:''' Follow me, and you'll never be hungry again.
-->'''Emerald:''' Thank you...
* The main villains interacting inside the ambulance is a bit funny and heartwarming sight. Especially after seeing how they came to be.
-->'''Cinder:''' Well, you all performed marvelously. Driver included.
--> [[spoiler:'''Neo:''' (''smiles at Cinder'')]]
* The moment when Amber, the Autumn Maiden, sees a crying child by the side of the road. She gets off her horse and comfortingly offers the little girl an apple. True, [[spoiler:the scenario was an illusion, but the kindness was real.]] Too bad [[spoiler:that kind act utterly blew up in poor Amber's face moments later.]]
[[folder: Destiny ]]
* Ironwood's sad expression when he informs Team RWBY that they're disqualified. He and the staff at Beacon are seemingly on Yang's side, and believe the incident to be nothing more than an unfortunate accident. However, there's nothing they can do to help her since it doesn't change the fact that millions of people had just watched her kneecap an "innocent" person on live TV. Either way, despite his harsh tone and having to raise his voice at one point, Ironwood seems to legitimately regret having to disqualify them.
* Ruby and Weiss immediately believe Yang's pleas of innocence. Blake needs a bit more convincing, but it's understandable given [[DarkAndTroubledPast what happened with Adam]]; even then, it doesn't take much for her to come around. What's most telling is that ''Weiss'', the one who you'd expect to be laying into Yang for her actions, is ''the first one to defend her'', even getting mad at Blake, [[TookALevelInKindness which just goes]] [[CharacterDevelopment to show how far she's come]].
** More than just supporting Yang, Weiss' entire tone for that scene implies she is downright ''pissed'' at how her friend is being treated:
-->'''Weiss''': You're hotheaded, but not ruthless.
** After seeing Yang driven to tears, Blake instantly regrets insinuating that her partner is lying. She explains that her past experiences are why she can't really trust Yang after this, before admitting "But you're not him," and choosing to trust Yang after the latter honestly says that she saw Mercury attack her first. It's nice to see Blake slowly grow out of her trust issues here.
** After leaving Yang to have some privacy, it's kind of nice to see Weiss and Blake go off to have coffee/tea together, cementing the fact that, in spite of their earlier issues, [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther the two of them really are friends.]]
** Team JNPR also express their concern for Yang. In turn, Ruby wishes Pyrrha luck in the tournament. Just shows how much the two teams care for one another.
* Team JNPR doing everything they can to help Pyrrha prepare for the tournament. Even if it doesn't last, seeing her laugh at Ren and Nora's antics was quite refreshing, given the heavy load that had just been dumped on her.
* After questioning what made her [[spoiler:shoot Mercury, and telling her that Raven won't come to her aid again if she needs it, Qrow tries to lift Yang's spirits and offers her a hand in helping her track Raven down if she ever wishes to do so.]]
** Its heartwarming in another way as well. Qrow KNOWS Yang considers finding her mother one of her major goals in life. While Raven does contact Qrow, he affirms that she only does so when it suits her and it's implied to be sporadic. He never told Yang about this before because he's afraid that Yang will be crushed when she finds out what Raven is actually like.
** The moment where Qrow affectionately calls Yang "Firecracker". It sounds like the kind of nickname her uncle's had for her for years.
** Despite their obviously disagreeing world views, her choices and sparse contact, Qrow initially speaks fondly of Raven. Its clear that despite their differences he still dearly loves her sister.
* Jaune and Pyrrha share quite a [[ShipTease touching moment]] where Jaune's presence alone comforts Pyrrha immensely. Jaune putting his hand on top of hers probably helped too, and the fact that he wasn't even nervous; he's just that focused on trying to help her.
** Easy to miss that Jaune never even bothered to ask Pyrrha what's wrong. He doesn't press her about it and, instead, he settles with letting Pyrrha know that she has his full support. Whether she decides to share her concerns with him or not it's her choice only and Jaune is considerate enough to accept that.
** The maple leaves deserve mention. The first one that landed in front of Pyrrha caused her to become distressed as it was a reminder of what's coming to her. Then Jaune comes in to comfort her and another maple leaf [[YouAreNotAlone lands right next to the other one reassuringly]].
* Velvet's appearance in the episode is just a nice moment between her and Ruby, where she expresses concern for Yang, disgust at how people are treating her and offering Ruby a small consolation that Coco also underwent 'battlefield hallucinations', unintentionally giving Ruby a thread to spot. It's nice to know that Velvet, an older student, supports her first year friends even though she must have few chances to interact with them regularly. [[{{Adorkable}} Her moments with her photography are cute too]].
[[folder: [=Pv P= ]]
* Nora and Ren enthusiastically cheer for Pyrrha, while Jaune looks worried for her.
* Weiss and Blake actually went to the cafe together.
* It's oddly adorable to see that Neo brought Roman his hat, even if she didn't need to.
* Crossing over with TearJerker, [[BigNo Port's reaction]] to [[spoiler:Penny's death]] seems very genuine, less out of shock at [[RoboticReveal her nature]], and more at the fact that [[spoiler:a student just died.]]
* This is a testament to how much Ozpin cares about the people: Despite Cinder staining Gen. Ironwood's actions regarding bringing his army to Vale. What does he do first when James calls? He [[spoiler:doesn't immediately accuse him or lock him out]]; instead, [[spoiler:he basically tells the general to do what he promised to do and use his army to do it]].
[[folder: Battle of Beacon ]]
* Blake assuring a worried Yang that Ruby can fend for herself. Shows how much she's come to trust her teammates and her leader, despite having been shown to have major trust issues in previous chapters.
* Weiss expresses sadness at [[spoiler:Penny's death]]. In "The Stray", Weiss (along with Blake and Yang) were [[spoiler:creeped out by Penny upon meeting her]].
* Jaune, Nora, and Ren are still in the stadium despite the chaos, with Jaune shouting at Pyrrha to move, finally just jumping down to rush to the platform.
** Immediately after this, Nora yells after Jaune, with a similar tone to the one she used in "New Challengers" (after Ren was briefly knocked down); she's truly worried for her teammate.
* When the Nevermore is bearing down on Pyrrha, [[spoiler:it's suddenly attacked by Ruby... using one of Penny's swords]].
-->'''Ruby:''' Leave her alone!!
* Pyrrha apologizes to Ruby, and Ruby assures her that [[spoiler:Penny's death]] wasn't her fault, followed by Jaune bringing her weapons and adding:
-->'''Jaune:''' We have to make sure they don't [[spoiler:take anyone else]].
** Jaune and Ruby give Pyrrha exactly what she's been needing for a very good while: {{Forgiveness}}. Jaune for her shoving him into a pillar, and Ruby for what happened to Penny, and it's exactly what Pyrrha needed to get back in the fight.
* Right as Ruby, JNPR, SSSN, ABRN, CFVY, Flynt and Neon are about to fight the Grimm in the stadium, Port and Oobleck step in and tell them to leave.
-->'''Oobleck:''' Ms. Rose. This day will surely go down in Remnant's history. I'll prefer it, if my students could live to tell about it.
* Team ABRN and half of Team FNKI [[DefeatMeansFriendship jumping to Ruby's aid]] just as quickly as Teams [[FireForgedFriends JNPR, CFVY, and SSSN do]] is a really touching moment.
** Not only that - look at it even more deeply. There's a very high chance that by staying to fight for Beacon, they could either die or never see their homes (Mistral to ABRN, Atlas to FNKI) for a long, long time. But when given the explicit choice to either go home or fight for a place they don't even live in, they don't hesitate to take the latter option.
* Blake and Weiss, who spend the last portion of Volume 1 butting heads, fighting off Grimm together. Weiss, who contested Ruby's leadership in Volume 1, lets Blake take the lead in fighting off the White Fang at the docks. Blake pushes Weiss out of the way of an Atlesian robot's line of fire. When the two of them split up to deal with multiple threats, Weiss tells her to be safe.
* As Team SSSN and JNPR are lining up for battle, we get a little scene of Jaune and Pyrrha exchanging this adorable little look between them. Despite being stuck fighting a nearly hopeless battle, they're just happy to be at each other's side again.
** Not only that, but Pyrrha is copying Jaune's dramatic pose. [[http://i.imgur.com/izeCoBF.gif D'aww.]]
[[folder: Heroes and Monsters ]]
* Roman [[spoiler:giving a very concerned - yes, even fearful - shout for Neo when Ruby activates her parasol, sending her flying off the ship. This is followed by an uncharacteristic display of blind rage.]] It's the first time in ''three seasons'' that he's shown an emotion other than smug superiority and subtle annoyance, which really drives the point home that [[spoiler:Neo is not just any henchman.]]
* Velvet's sheer excitement at [[spoiler:finally getting to use her weapon]] is ''adorable''.
** In the ensuing sequence [[spoiler:where Velvet reveals that her ability is PowerCopying]], there's a bit where [[spoiler:she activates Penny's weapon]] and it almost feels like a tribute to Penny.
** Coco's complete faith in Velvet's ability to kick ass on her own, up to and including indicating to the others to hold fire on the Paladin to give her shy, underestimated teammate her chance.
* Ren and Nora's brief scene shows how important they are to each other. Nora shoves Ren out of the way of a Paladin to [[TakingTheBullet take the hit]] for him but Ren's too shocked at the sight of her being hurt to dodge the Paladin's second strike.
* Qrow's StabTheScorpion scene to save [[spoiler:Ironwood]], given how tense things have been between them and how the former seemed to hate the latter's guts.
** Points to the latter, given how they could have easily shot Qrow out of the air, but instead turned their weapon around and took a defensive stance as if to minimize any pain or suffering should the two come to blows.
** Extra points must be given to Qrow, who could have easily shot at the beast or called for [[spoiler: Ironwood]] to turn around, but instead charges it himself. JerkWithAHeartOfGold, indeed.
** Also the fact afterwards Qrow seems genuinely insulted [[spoiler:Ironwood]] would believe Qrow blamed him for the turn of events.
-->[[spoiler:'''Ironwood:''' (''terrified'') Qrow! This isn't my doing!]]
-->'''Qrow:''' You idiot. I know you didn't do this.
* Ozpin refuses to [[spoiler:activate the machine until Pyrrha gives her explicit verbal consent]].
* Weiss [[spoiler:throwing herself in front of the Paladin to protect Velvet. She wasn't expecting to manage a summons to save her, she was simply trying to protect her friend.]]
** It also shows how far Weiss has come as a character. Way back in Volume 1 she held so much contempt for the Faunus that it wouldn't have surprised anyone if she did nothing.
* Coco's shout after Velvet when the Paladin finally gets in a lucky blow right when the poor girl is between hard-light weapons, and the snarl she gives as she fires up the minigun again to pull its attention back to her. Just before the Atlesian control network goes dark, there's a brief shot of the final Paladin charging the group which has arranged itself around Velvet, tucking her behind Coco in the centre of the defenders.
* Ruby's ShutUpHannibal to Roman is a testament to her beliefs that she mentioned way back in volume 1, that she and the rest of the Huntsmen and Huntresses are there to make the world better.
-->'''Ruby:''' I don't care ''what'' you say! We ''will'' stop them and I ''will'' stop you! '''BET ON THAT!'''
* During her fight, [[spoiler:Velvet utilizes the various weapons that her friends have used]]. What is the [[spoiler:final weapon she brings out? Penny's swords.]]
** Also, take note of how the scene and the music both take special care to put emphasis on the part where she channels Penny. Between that and Ruby using one of her swords to fight the Nevermore, you can tell that Penny will not be forgotten by her friends or the show creators any time soon.
* When Pyrrha is [[spoiler:in the Aura transfer pod]], all she does while [[spoiler:Cinder kills Amber, and absorbs all of the Fall Maiden's power]], is desperately bang on the door. But when [[spoiler:Cinder attacks Jaune?]] She pushes the door away with her Semblance and charges at [[spoiler:Cinder]].
* Ozpin [[spoiler:staying behind to hold back Cinder, who has now absorbed all of Amber's powers, while Jaune and Pyrrha escape]].
* The ''intense'' action in the ending. [[spoiler:As Yang searches for Blake, she turns right as Adam plunges his sword into Blake's stomach, triggering her anger and sending her lunging at Adam, yelling at him to get away from Blake. The scenario ends with both Yang and Blake seriously wounded but escaping successfully together through tricking Adam with a semblance clone of Blake's. There's also the subtle implication that throwing herself in front of Yang has allowed Blake's semblance to become more advanced like an actual illusion than a copy she leaves behind, as there's no indication that it's even an illusion before Adam attacks it (Blake normally leaving these illusions behind whilst she's still visible).]].
** Making the above example more bittersweet, [[spoiler:is the fact that earlier, Blake expressed mistrust at Yang after the latter's incident in the Vytal tournament and directly compared her to Adam. Blake watched these two clash resulting in Yang getting herself maimed trying to defend her, and in doing so, [[UndyingLoyalty Yang demonstrated that she has a far stronger bond with Blake than Adam ever did]].]]
[[folder: The End of the Beginning ]]
* The strong friendship of our main characters is further emphasized given the grave situation:
** Weiss attempting to shield Ruby from the sight of her injured teammates.
** Blake reaching out to hold Yang's hand while tearfully apologizing to her.
** In spite of their wounds, Ren and Nora refuse to abandon their teammates. If only were they able to stand on their own, they would still be at Beacon searching for Jaune and Pyrrha.
** Sun might come off as bad for wanting to leave Jaune and Pyrrha behind but he makes clear that he doesn't want anyone else to be put in danger. Not after they all barely made it out alive.
** Weiss showing nothing but concern for Jaune. He constantly asks her to find and save Pyrrha and each time she responds by asking about his safety instead to the point Jaune screams at the top of his lungs to forget about him and focus only on saving Pyrrha.
* This exchange, cementing how far Weiss has gone from being the JerkAss of the group to a [[TrueCompanions true companion]]:
-->'''Ruby''': I'll find them. I'll find them, and I'll bring them back.\\
'''Weiss''': No. ''We'' will find them.
* After 3 volumes of relationship development, Jaune and Pyrrha finally [[spoiler:kiss. Even if it ended up as a LastKiss, that moment was a long time coming.]]
** Pyrrha even engages in FootPopping as Jaune [[spoiler:starts to kiss her back]].
* Cinder [[spoiler:talking with the Dragon winds up becoming a twisted version of this as she coos the dragon]].
-->'''Cinder:''' [[spoiler:This is your home now.]]
* In the midst of the chaos of [[spoiler:Ruby watching Pyrrha die and awakening her latent powers, the screen goes white, and then...]]
-->'''Qrow:''' It's alright, I got ya, kiddo... I got ya!
* [[GoodParents Taiyang]]: He's been sleeping on a chair next to Ruby waiting for her to wake up, tries his best to reassure her about Yang's state even when though he's equally depressed about it, [[TearsOfJoy almost cries because his daughters were brought back home alive]], gets angry at Qrow for separating him from Ruby, and finally says goodbye to her with a peck on her head. On top of that we later see him bringing breakfast to her bed.
-->'''Taiyang:''' I'm just glad to have [[spoiler:my girls]] back at home.
* Ruby makes the decision to [[spoiler:go to Haven]]. Her team isn't going with her [[spoiler:(Weiss was taken back to Atlas, Blake ran away, and Yang is too emotionally drained to care)]], but she isn't going alone. [[spoiler:The remaining members of Team JNPR are following her there, and from the looks of it, Qrow will be keeping a watchful eye on them.]]
** Incidentally, the conversation makes it clear that [[spoiler:Jaune doesn't blame Ruby for not saving Pyrrha]].
* [[spoiler:The group stops by Summer's grave so Ruby can say goodbye]].
* The end of the credits, where it scrolls over the Rooster Teeth logo, followed by [[spoiler:[[InMemoriam Monty Oum 1981- 2015, followed by his signature and "We love you, Monty"]], to the finishing lyrics of "Cold".]]
-->''But your star's still in the sky''\\
''So I won't say goodbye''\\
''I don't have to say goodbye''
[[folder: World of Remnant: The Four Maidens ]]
* The fairy tale as a whole is the touching story of how four sisters befriended a bitter and lonely old wizard, convincing him to finally step outside his home.
* The ending of the tale, where the wizard bestows all his powers upon the kind maidens who became his friends and they all promise to come together and meet him each and every year.
[[folder:Volume 4]]
[[folder: The Next Step ]]
* ''[[BigBad Salem]]'' gets one when she reassures Cinder that despite all the injuries she has taken from Ruby and what the other members of the inner circle say, she is still important to their goals and should feel proud of what she accomplished. Salem then goes on to say that Cinder is being kept near her so that she can make a full recovery.
* The scene where Ruby makes fun of Jaune's Pumpkin Pete Hoodie is mostly just [[CrowningMomentofFunny really, really funny]], but it also serves to show us that, despite everything bad that happened in Volume 3, our heroes can still laugh.
* When Jaune picks up a reforged Crocea Mors from the blacksmith, he complements Jaune on the metal he gave him to reforge it. Where he got it from? Pyrrha. That's certainly one way to honor the fallen.
** And the new design of the shield has Pyrrha's circlet on it.
* From Volume 1's soundtrack:
** "Gold": A bubbly song that about being a protective, comforting, and generally positive influence on someone's life.
*** And according to Jeff Williams, it's about [[CoolBigSis Yang's]] [[BigSisterInstinct relationship with Ruby]].
** "I May Fall": It's a song about the DarkestHour and the protagonists HeroicResolve to not die, [[TrueCompanions that with their friends]] [[PowerOfFriendship they can not, will not fall.]]
** "Wings": The ending credits song for the sixteenth episode, and a heartfelt anthem about enduring hardship, surpassing pain and finding strength in those who care about you.
* From Volume 2's soundtrack:
** "Shine": The song from the JNPR dance in [=V2E7=]. ''The'' official Arkos theme song. It's basically Pyrrha singing about how Jaune saved her from loneliness and how much she loves him. Shipping feels! It can also be interpreted as a Bumbleby song, since Blake's and Yang's bond was stronger by the time of the dance.
** Although the purpose of "All Our Days" is still unknown, the meaning behind it is very clear. It's presumably another song about how much Yang adores and cares for Ruby, and how she'd never abandon her.
** "Boop": A song about Nora wishing that she and Ren were "Together-Together". Also, when she says Boop, she's really [[CanNotSpitItOut trying to say]] "I love you".
* From Volume 3's soundtrack:
** The reprise of "Mirror, Mirror" gives the original somber and lonely song much more hopeful and positive lyrics, suggesting that Weiss's time spent with Winter and her experiences at Beacon away from her family are changing her for the better and helping her grow more confident as a person.
-->''Some believe in fairy stories''\\
''And the ghosts that they can't see''\\
''I know that I could do so much''\\
''If I could just believe in me''\\
''Mirror, Mirror''\\
''I'll tell you something''\\
''I think I can change it all''
** On a more [[{{Tearjerker}} depressing note]], "Cold", the second song played in the credits of the last episode of Volume 3. It's heavily implied to be from [[spoiler:Jaune's perspective about Pyrrha]] (and a tribute to Monty from Roosterteeth). It's about how someone has inspired them to become a hero, when up until that point, they felt as if they'd never accomplish anything great, and how dearly they miss that person.
* [[http://roosterteeth.com/news/entry.php?id=2214459 Monty's reaction to the response of the first episode.]]
* Whenever Monty mentions his lack of sleep (he's usually working towards a deadline) in the office or on twitter he is immediately besieged by requests by coworkers and the fanbase to catch a few winks. [[TheWorkaholic He usually continues to]] [[DoingItForTheArt work until he's done anyway.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NGiNynnPJvo This video]], which is a compilation of fan support for both Monty and the show as a whole.
* With the Velvet Costume Contest closed and over 1300 submitted pieces, Monty [[https://twitter.com/montyoum/status/414276370714202112 takes it upon himself to open every single one individually so he doesn't miss any.]] The fact that he would take the time to do this on top of everything else is just...damn, that's a lot of tabs.
** He also made a point of stating that none of the entries ''lost'', so much as [[SadisticChoice only one was able to be used.]]
* The first volume's opening depicted Pyrrha [[YouAreNotAlone reaching out to Jaune reassuringly]], foreshadowing her support of him in the future episodes; the second opening depicts a similar situation, only with their positions [[NowLetMeCarryYou reversed]].
* The closing titles of the second volume use Fanart for their visuals.
* It's quite clear Monty loved his fans to cosplay his work. He has stated in several tweets that he specifically designs the character costumes so they can be easily cosplayed, in particular designing the shoes on a real-life counterpart so cosplayers can find them easily and at a good price and integrating pockets into the design so cosplayers could carry their personal items around safely at conventions.
* Mere hours after news of [[TearJerker Monty Oum's passing]] hit the public ear, the ''RWBY'' site on [[Webstie/FanFictionDotNet Fanfiction]] was hit with a slew of fics dedicated to his memory, art and RWBY fan-sites exploded with pictures and tributes to Monty, and even more had notices that pledged their support to Monty's family and friends at Creator/RoosterTeeth. Goes to show just how much this moment truly means to so many people.
** Even before his death was announced, the reaction to the news that he had been hospitalized was nothing short of amazing. The Go Fund Me page that was set up to raise money for medical expenses reached its goal of 50k in ''less than a day''. By the time it closed out, the total donated to Monty's family was around ''245 thousand dollars'' (almost quintuple the goal) by almost 10,000 donors. It really goes to show you how many fans he had.
* Someone [[https://twitter.com/RoosterTeeth/status/562642175838543872/photo/1 scattered rose petals outside the office]] in Monty's memory.
* ScrewAttack's Remastered Samus vs. Boba Fett WebAnimation/DeathBattle was dedicated to Monty. In the ending credits, instead of the usual Death Battle theme, the credits rolled alongside "Shine" and a 3D animated dance video made by Death Battle's main 3D animator, Torrian. Dancers include Samus and Boba, numerous Storm Troopers, a guest appearance from Deadpool, and to really drive it home, a certain "Zero-Suited" Spartan from his first animation, ''Haloid''. Afterward, Ben and Chad had a brief piece about how Monty's work inspired them to create Death Battle and their personal memories of him.
** Later on Screwattack honored Monty again with the Yang Xiao-Long vs Tifa Lockhart Death Battle to celebrate the third season of RWBY. They even let Barbara voice Yang for the show.
* JesuOtaku has made his dislike towards the series pretty vocal. However, before Oum died, he retweeted a link to his charity drive and even expressed his condolences.
* The crew kicked off the RWBY RTX 2015 panel with a moment of silence for Monty.
** Later in the panel, it was revealed that Monty's brother Neath will be continuing Monty's work voicing Ren.
*** And judging by the reactions to Volume 3, the fans have received his voice warmly.
* In the update on Rooster Teeth's website about Volume 3's premiere, the last paragraph says this:
-->We had a gathering last night at Rooster Teeth, people from all over the company joined us to screen Chapter 1. It was a special moment to watch this new first episode together. Monty, you were supposed to be there. Maybe you were. We hope we did ok. We miss you.
* During the RWBY panel at RTXAU, one question raised is what universe Ruby and Yang would like a crossover with. The answer? [[spoiler:[[MutuallyFictional Ours.]]]]
* [[http://roosterteeth.com/post/51197815 Barbara Dunkelman's letter to Monty a year after his passing]] is [[TearJerker heartbreaking]] but very uplifting in that she talks about how massive the show and its community have continued to grow across the world since his passing.
-->"We've kept moving forward, but don't for a second think we're not taking you along with us."
* It's no secret RT (and the RWBY Production Crew) encourage and enjoy reaction videos - in one person's case though, they appreciated his support so much that they personally sent him gifts in appreciation, and their reaction-to-his-reaction of "[=PvP=]". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qumbPCdcYoU See his appreciation here.]]
* In the livestream leading up to the Volume 3 finale, they talk about Neath for a moment, and mention the level of support they have gotten from the Oum family.
* In the credits of RWBY: Chibi's first episode, it's revealed that RT took on 'Mojojoj' (see Memes section) as a concept artist.


text: One irrefutable fact we're learning at Men's Market is that if you're a brand from Copenhagen you do fucking work, and Han Kjobenhavn serves as a testament to this Danish dominance. We also learned that Han Kjobenhavn means "Him Copenhagen," so that's neat, right? For really real though, this collection was arguably the best thing we saw at Capsule. There's a unique quality to Han that falls somewhere in the middle of the Venn Diagram of traditional sportswear, technical and futuristic high-fashion that coalesces into truly wonderful menswear. Han Kjobenhavn (which we're insensitively pronouncing around the office as "Ko-Ben-Have-In") has only been producing apparel since 2010, but they're well on their way.

For a side-by-side comparison of current personal firewall products, visit http://personal-firewall-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
From IBM's Site:
IBM Internet Security Systems has announced the End of Life for BlackICE PC Protection (formerly known as BlackICE Defender) and BlackICE Server Protection (formerly known as BlackICE Defender for Server). The End of Sale date for these products is September 19, 2007. You will not be able to purchase BlackICE products after this date. We will update and support BlackICE products until September 29, 2008. These products will not be supported after September 29th, 2008.
BlackICE PC Protection by Internet Security Systems prevents intruders from accessing your computer, and that's the main job for a firewall. BlackICE PC Protection lacks the extra features that our top-ranked products offer; these give you added protection from Trojans, adware and intrusive cookies (data stored on your computer by websites you visit).
Firewall Performance
BlackICE PC Protection has some unique features, including the ability to block or trust a visitor. This tool allows you to block for an hour, a day, a month or forever—we liked the flexibility this offered.
BlackICE has some powerful filtering features. You can specify the exact type and duration for each rule you create and you can make these rules specific to a given port on your computer. Without getting into much networking terminology, you can block a certain kind of message from entering or exiting a given location on your computer. This tool helps you fine tune your filtering. You can also turn application control and communication control on or off.
With BlackICE PC Protection, you can customize your firewall to record all of your computer's interactions. But to use these records (logs) to track data to its origin you'll need to buy trace file decoding software.
Additional Security Features
The BlackICE screen is not as simple to use as screens in other firewalls. BlackICE PC Protection has a good control panel and a useful history screen that lists past events and network traffic, but improvements would help push this firewall higher in the rankings.
Help and Support
BlackICE PC Protection did an excellent job keeping our identifying computer data stealth (hidden); viewers couldn't see our computer. The firewall also protected us from Trojans (dangerous software). BlackICE PC Protection failed to block an outsider's view of our browser information, however (the referrer test). This means that websites I visit can see what browser I'm using, what region I'm in, and last website I've visited, even with my firewall up and running.
BlackICE PC Protection is a good firewall software program that needs control panel improvements to help novices take advantage of customization. With these improvements, BlackICE PC Protection has the potential to become a top contender.
BlackICE PC Protection provides many customizable features, enough to allow you to set up a small network if you want. But this would take an experienced computer user time to get right.

He's right, my point was when you have kids, why do you HAVE that stuff? Shouldn't you rather be doing things with your kids rather than be playing computer games?

My bad Chaz. I missunderstood. I honestly dont really play any systems until after 7pm. With family there isnt enough time. I try to play 1 system each day so I dont feel like money is just sitting collecting dust. I try to be the all around dad but sometimes that doesnt always happen. Ok back on topic.........
dedpoet777 all these problems are old and have been fixed. and the lines on the screen thing only happens when ur an idiot and dont how how to set it up.

Grant-making toolkit on LGBTQ communities of color
Funders for LGBTQ Issues launched a historic, online resource to help grantmakers understand the critical issues facing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBTQ) communities of color. This toolkit includes a range of original funder tools, perspectives from foundation and nonprofit leaders in the field, related publications and much more. We hope to enhance the philanthropic conversation on opportunity, diversity and equity.
