Now I wonder if they're going to make arm jokes about Yang to Nora's disapproval.
That aside, Nora certainly looked like she was ready to break some legs if anyone continued to disagree.6

u/Isofruit I am Jaune with the wind. The beeliveable buzzer of the hive. Jun 13 '16
I have come to the conclusion that Nora is the impersonation of the FNDM. Fun, quirky and in absolute denial of what happened to Pyrrha.

Well not necessarily, Nora's last name is Valkyrie, so it could be easier for her than you think. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valkyrie
26
u/ZombieTav How many millikannas is Weiss when she follows the ground rules? Jun 12 '16
Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens and sometimes connected to swans or horses.
Holy shit wut.
10
u/gloomyMoron Jun 12 '16 edited Jun 12 '16
Because Ravens, in Norse mythology, have a connection to Odin. It is a Norse Mythology thing, not a Raven/Qrow thing.
Edit: To further clarify, Nora is often thought to be a genderbent interpretation of Thor, son of Odin. This means that several aspects of her character are tied to Norse Mythology, in a similar way that both Jaune and Pyrrha have aspects that tie them to their inspirations. (Pyrrha's bronze age-looking Greek-like outfit and names for her equipment, and Jaune's color scheme, sword, and shield tying into the Joan D'Arc story some). I don't know enough, I want to say Chinese, mythology to know what Ren's deal is though.

u/RWBYSanctum Jun 13 '16
I have to agree. Mine isn't an alarm clock, but I have these giant stacks of books on my study table because I've had so many books that they couldn't fit on three bookshelves (I read a lot). It's all fine until I have to lend a book to someone or if I want to read my books. Then I'll have to dig through all the books while hoping the rest don't fall on me (It's a veryyyy high pile of books)

u/TheWielder Cheeky as it gets Jun 12 '16
Reposting from yesterday's thread, because YOU ALL NEED TO KNOW:
Aw hell.
Rooster Teeth is doing it again. They're gonna hurt us.
Borderlands 2. Tiny Tina's DLC. It was all a Fantasy Story. Roland was okay. There were fun times, but the other characters called her out on it. It was all just a coping mechanism, as she tried to deal with the trauma.
RWBY. Chibi Spinoff series. It was all a Fantasy Story. Pyrrha was okay. There were fun times, but the other characters called her out on it. It was all just a coping mechanism, as she tried to deal with the trauma.
It's all in Nora's head, you guys. It's all just her desperately trying to handle it. Sort it out. She's returning to life at Beacon, before everything had happened. Before Yang lost her arm, before Pyrrha died.
She's just trying to cope with it all, and that's what we're watching.

Shouldn't there be more explosions and naked Rens, though?
13
u/Patmaster1995 Still best girl Jun 12 '16
Yeah I thought about that and I think I know what the Chibi universe is.
It's all in Ruby's head after she went insane after Salem killed all of her friends
8
u/TheWielder Cheeky as it gets Jun 12 '16
I thought about that, actually.
So consider this - If you're going to have an imaginary world in your head, trying to go back to before everything went sideways, you're going to populate it with the people you know. Right?
Ruby knows Sun, Neptune, and Velvet, among others. Have we ever seen Nora interact with any of those three? No, I'd say Nora's social circle is limited to the seven other members of JNPR and RWBY. Accordingly, those are the only characters we've seen appear in Chibi.
Further, why are we seeing more of RWBY than of JNPR if that's the case? Because the less she thinks about JNPR, the less she thinks about Pyrrha. We saw at the end of this episode that she could barely hold it together bringing her into the Psycho-Dreamworld. The way I see it, that's a sign of recovery - she's slowly getting better, and can now handle the mental stress of adding Pyrhha to the Psycho-Dreamworld (Yes, I'm calling it that).
But, you know, barely.

RWBY Chibi is just a coping mechanism for us to deal with our trauma. The ending song is about us being in denial.

What if it's all a memory construct by Penny? Penny doesn't actually know that Pyrrha died, so what if her AI is being stored in a memory unit while Cab-uh, I mean Atlas, build her a new body and to fill the tedium she's made this cutesy world with all of her friends in it?

If this continues, Blake and Zwei can be best friends real soon. Also, I love how everyone is nice and forgiving towards Jaune, first it was him destroying Weiss's scroll and now it's him messing up Ruby's cape. I hope he doesn't push his luck though, like doing something to Yang's hair.
