~~PENNY'S NOTEBOOK~~
- Blue butterfly at mention of Alyx
- Human(s) killed(?) Red King - Alyx?
- Weiss recognizing past behavior - character growth
- Ruby ready to end Prince after Penny's sword is tossed
- Guards being executed is fucking *dark*
- Ruby's "normal" personality shows during game - has something to focus on
- Her mood immediately darkens when her friends' safety is in her hands
- Rules of the game are immediately rendered irrelevant lol
- Little is mimicking Ruby
- Appreciate that WBY can easily kick the shit out of chess pieces
- jfc yang is so fucking hot holy shit oh my god--
- Confirmation that semblances work
- Blake's eyeroll + blush + dilated pupils - she's down bad
- Prince is SO dramatic
- Humans are bad news in the Ever After - related to Ambrosius's warning?
- Chess fight is so incredible, S-tier fight scene
- Checkmate also an amazing song, absolute bop
- Weiss blowing hair out of her face is so so good
- Blake focused on Yang, doesn't notice incoming attack
- Gambol low on ammo because of Weiss at the end of V8
- ANGEL WEISS!!
- PLAYERS AND PIECES CALLBACK!!!
- YANG WITH A *S W O R D*!!!!
- Visual parallel to Raven in V5?
- Robby Daymond!
- Don't Trust The Cat
- Prince put on acre to win games - Alyx beat King resulting in King losing his purpose resulting in death?
- Cat playing with marbles is cute
- WBY still tiny + Ruby w/o a weapon - very vulnerable
- Visuals during chase are amazing
- Cat has met other humans and finds them "interesting"
- "Rubes" from Yang is perfect
- Jabberwalker can bleed
- Neo is pink comet - 2 blue comets in opening = Alyx and person behind her in portrait?
- Theory: Alyx wasn't alone and never left Ever After, story was written by someone else

9:23 Oh good observation! I never realized that the episode putting Ruby in charge of the game, with her friends as pawns, was meant to bring to mind the image of Ruby as a leader in the war against Salem-with her decisions each putting her friends at risk.

[@RedTheRoyal]

Oh yeah absolutely, especially with all the chess imagery present in the Atlas saga!

Hey if you go back to ep 1 and 2, there are hints that the cat has been following them especially in the first scenes with Weiss and blake you see Blake look back as if her cat ears picked up on a noise that human ears can't pick up but Weiss distracts her from investigating.

[@RedTheRoyal]

Ooh I never caught that before, that's a really cool detail!
