actually obsessed with the matching Flapjack tattoos
that's actually really interesting. the only way for Emma to turn in the car is if she's bitten in Chapter 4, but if she stayed infected after you killed Chris then that obviously can't be the case. the wiki says she can get infected by Max by doing what you described, but again if she stayed infected after Chris died then that can't be right?? it's also really weird that she apparently got bitten off-screen
also reminds me, there's two variations of the car scene with Emma as a werewolf, one with everyone outside and one where Dylan ends up hiding in the car, and I still haven't figured out how to get that second version of the scene. don't know if it's related to what you've got going on
definitely lemme know once you figure it out
quick FamilyEcho of the werewolves, who infects who and when, because I can never remember all of them off the top of my head
blue boxes are unavoidable, pink boxes are dependant on player choices
I checked the wiki and every bit of ending text I could find, so I'm fairly confident these are all correct, but feel free to say something if you see an error
fun things I realised while making this:
Abi is the only counsellor who is guaranteed to be cured if she gets infected
not counting individual QTEs, Dylan has the most opportunities to be infected, two of which are caused by his hand being bitten
Caleb has the most guaranteed infections, while Silas has the most potential infections
Dylan and Kaitlyn are the only counsellors who can be infected by Silas, meaning they would be the only ones still infected if Caleb died and Laura failed to kill Silas
it would be impossible to get an ending with everyone infected, as Abi will always be cured and Ryan cannot survive without killing Chris, curing everyone Chris infected
Dylan can be infected again after losing his hand, but it will not grow back. this is either because he doesn't stay infected long enough to turn, or maybe werewolf regeneration simply isn't strong enough
if Jacob is infected, he can actually survive having his head crushed in a bear trap
Nick is the only counsellor who can infect an NPC, that being Bobby, however Bobby will always amputate his finger to prevent infection
Laura, Max and Emma are the only counsellors who can infect other counsellors
Max is only counsellor guaranteed to infect someone, and the only counsellor who can potentially infect multiple people
Abi, Dylan, Ryan and Kaitlyn can never kill anyone while in werewolf form. Abi and Ryan are cured too soon, Kaitlyn is infected too late, and Dylan seemingly stays in/near the scrapyard after turning
Emma and Dylan are the only counsellors who can be infected by more than one werewolf, meaning they're also the only ones who can turn at various times
Dylan will only turn in-game if infected in Chapter 5, meaning Emma is the only counsellor who can turn at various times during the game
Ryan is the only counsellor whose survival is dependent on being infected. infection can save multiple characters from various failed QTEs, but Ryan is the only one guaranteed to die unless infected
Laura is the only werewolf that can potentially infect someone while still in human form, and consequently the only one who can infect someone with consent
if Dylan and Kaitlyn are not infected by Silas, every character could hypothetically be cured by killing only Caleb. unfortunately this wouldn't work in-game, as Kaylee always dies, Chris can't die after Caleb, and surviving the Hackett House forces Ryan and Laura to confront Silas
Tumblr is fun because one of my posts will get 30k notes and then I'll have one that only gets like. 12
I'm not caught up with Prime Defenders yet and at this point I'm scared to, did Wiwi fucking kill someone?? like I'm already spoiled on him drugging Tide, just tell me if he has blood on his hands so I can sleep at night
on second watch, I've realised Volume 9 feels like a love letter to not just early fans, but also to Monty
the focus on Neo and her relationship with Roman
acknowledgement of Pyrrha's sacrifice and the guilt Ruby feels over it
reversed Whiteknight dynamic
Ruby breaking down for the first time since V3
RWBY using their team attacks
and his specialty: fight scenes with story and character
an emphasis is put on Blake and Yang fighting side-by-side, because their feelings are finally out in the open and they're more in sync than ever. Weiss using all sorts of glyphs and dust and summons, because she no longer cares about being prim and proper and noble, she will be as loud and chaotic as she likes so long as it keeps her friends alive
and Ruby,
Ruby doesn't fight at all until the finale, because she doesn't feel like she can. she stays out of the way and never really tries to defend herself. even when she's being tortured by Neo's illusions, even after her Aura breaks, she doesn't fight back until she's right on death's doorstep. but then she speaks to the Blacksmith, and she hears that her mother loves her, and she knows that she is enough. she always has been, since the very start
so, she goes back to the start. whirling and spinning, using her Semblance, zipping around with her scythe in a way reminiscent of Monty's choreography, as if reliving the Red trailer in her mind. and once she's had that chance to show her newfound confidence, what she's truly capable of, her teammates step in to help her, because now she finally sees that they are there, and they finally see that they weren't there enough. they don't even have to talk to understand what's changed. Ruby grew the most, but they all learned from this, so she takes the lead at first but they finish it together
I just think Monty would've liked this volume
Merrin: Dragons are such wonderful creatures... It's a shame I only have Lady Veyle and the Divine One to talk to.
