Ozpin: How did you manage to burn down all the dorm rooms?
Summer: Well….. we wanted to experiment if Qrow’s semblance could be modified by Dust.
Ozpin: ……oh dear

Volume 7 (and possibly 8) isn’t a retread of Volume 3, but a subversion.
SPOILERS FOR V7 Ch6
I know everyone is pointing out the death flags and parallels setting up for something similar to the Fall of Beacon, but on a kingdom-wide scale. I’d like to raise a new hypothesis.
V7 (and maybe 8) would be like if the heroes won during the battle at Beacon. However, it won’t be a perfect victory.
When we leave Atlas, things will be messy and delicate, but it’ll still be holding itself together for just long enough for RWBY and the others to go to Vacuo and do whatever it is they need to do there. People are still apprehensive of Ironwood, Jacque (if he’s still around), Robyn, etc. But the situation is so dire that, for now at least, the people of Atlas and Mantle are banding together to keep disaster at bay. This will create a ticking clock for RWBY and the rest. If they don’t win this war soon, Atlas, and possibly the rest of Remnant, will fall. That would be a great way to raise the stakes. We might even see the death of one of the most powerful members of the cast, like Qrow or Ironwood, meaning that our heroes will have to learn how to solve everything on their own without an adult figure to guide them.
What is the Evidence?
Opening Theme: Trust Love
This is what inspired me to start the post in the first place. V3 started off very optimistic in tone, but the opening theme was very dark and foreshadowing what is to come. From there, the next three opening themes were about overcoming the past and confronting the harsh realities of the world. ‘Trust Love’ conveys the message that bright futures aren’t a fantasy, but something you can achieve if you work hard and “trust love”.
232Amber Vs Fria: Choices
A common response to my take on how Ironwood treats Fria is that “Ozpin was planning to do the exact same thing.” But the circumstances surrounding the Fall maiden’s powers were very, very different.
When Amber was attacked, half her powers were stolen. Between the split magic and the fact Cinder had attacked her, there was no way for anyone but her assailant to inherit the Fall Maiden’s powers. Unless, of course, you didn’t let Amber lose the power at all.
By having Amber’s Aura, her soul, transferred to another, the Fall maiden’s powers would stay at least partly in the hands of the good guys. There was absolutely no other way to keep Salem’s agents from having a full force Fall maiden on their side.
In Fria’s case, none of this is necessary. While having a huntress and trusted military operative as the Winter maiden is certainly beneficial, that’s not the only option.
Say you let it just happen naturally. Maybe a young woman from Fria’s family or a close friend inherits her powers. This person probably won’t have much combat experience, but as long you explain the Salem factor, they’re likely to understand. Even if the person in Fria’s final thoughts doesn’t inherit her powers due to not meeting requirements, that’s not such a loss. It just means they’ll waste a little time trying to find the new Winter maiden. There are other options that are far more humane and will not have a significantly negative impact.
It’s also worth noting most of the problems in Atlas are political, not security. They don’t desperately need a combat ready maiden, especially not with Cinder’s status up in the air. No, they want a maiden to represent Atlas, not to protect all of Remnant. Winter makes it very clear what her order of priorities as a maiden will be. Her kingdom, the military, will come first.
In Amber’s case, the choice was between a) finding someone to transfer her soul to, or b) letting Cinder, a murderer they knew to be allied with Salem, inherit the full power of the Fall Maiden.
In Fria’s case, the choices are a) to let the powers pass on as they were always meant to, to someone who matters to the previous maiden or to someone random. b) to force Fria to interact only with the person that Ironwood groomed as her successor in the hopes she inherits those powers ‘naturally,’ or c) to forcibly take Fria’s soul from her to guarantee that the person Ironwood chooses becomes a maiden.
Again, the FNDM is comparing two completely different situations to prove a (wrong) point.

Part 4 of Qrow and Rosemary’s short stories !
Is it why people call him morally gray like his hair ?
Cuz he is a sassy headmaster~
I really loved how goofy he could be in Volume 1 !
Also, RIP Qrow.
Yes, he is a BiiiiiRb. The worse is that it’s true and Rosy doesn’t even know it.
Next parts will be Christmas specials !

Look and see….
This is the face of the one who gave his so many lives to protect humanity, to protect Remnant.
Now tell me…
How can he be so sad ? So guilty ? So misjudged ?
“Can’t anyone free me… Once for all ?”

Raise your hand if you would love to hear Oz singing a sweet little lullaby of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”?
*shyly raises hand*
41idea: post-canon rwby spinoff where salem’s been defeated, but almost all the ozmas have passed on, so it’s about oscar and ozpin having goofy adventures and solving problems in both the living world and the afterlife now that they don’t have the fate of the world on their shoulders
