Oh fuck Volumes Six and Seven are a trip you've got Some Shit waiting for you. And at least one of the big revelations in the early chapters of Six particularly is semi-relevant to Raven as it at least explains why she decided "fuck this shit" in regards to the Ozpin/Salem conflict? But other than that, yeah, no Bird Mom.

Yang's callout of her at the end of V5 was so cathartic I was just cheering her the whole time through. Especially since from Tai's description she was... probably not always so fucking terrible? Which kinda makes it worse.

For Summer, I grab fanart from google searches and crop it. It's about as simple and basic as possible.
