Don't you know the meaning of I, personally, think...

So refrain from going hostile with me ok? Just because I disagree with you doesn't not mean I'm saying that you guys are wrong, much less idiots. And before you try to break my opinion, how 'bout you hear the full one ok? I ain't shutting you guys up so don't try that with me either.

@73.Anon.52 So far, everything we've seen about Pyrrha makes it look like the girl has hardly got any chances to make real friendships or lost them at some point. I can agree with the idea that she did have people before since there is even proof of it. What I meant is, despite her past, Pyrrha still has a hard time acting around people. The way she apologizes for everything, gives up on her own feelings so easily and always gives people what they want even shows that Pyrrha is truly a very unselfish person. But that actually makes me think that she's very submissive because she's afraid of losing the friendships she has. They mean too much to her especially because she never got to that close to anyone before or because she lost that at some point when she had it in the past.

Y'know. If that's the case then I can see the bad guys (Mercury maybe?) getting close to Pyrrha, becoming her friend and then using that to get her to do what he wants just like Weiss did to her during their meeting. Pyrrha speared the guy she was interested in because Weiss told her to do so. She's not one to think before acting if a friend is giving her an order.

But enough of that. My other idea (and this is something several people agree with me) is that none of Pyrrha's interactions truly look like she was flirting or was dropping hints. I can see it as Pyrrha being a good partner and that's what I meant by RT saying that Pyrrha is the mother of the team. She treats Jaune so kindly ok, but would you think it's special or see it as a hint since Pyrrha treats her other teammates like this too? It's why I think Pyrrha's personality is worth mentioning because given how she tries so hard to not get disliked, she can be very unselfish and kindly with everyone and that includes people apart from Jaune. That's why I can understand why Jaune never got the message. Would you think of it as a hint if she was sending the same message to everyone else in the room?

@VendranThell I get perfectly what you mean but I try to see it from the Canon POV too. Maybe Ruby didn't make sense in the story but in general it does. Like I said, the three main ships. The story, out of nowhere, throws Ruby into the picture and even the author admitted that she was meant to get a bigger role but he refrain from giving her that. Still, knowing Ruby and Jaune personalities, their interactions in canon and seeing it as one of the main ships of the fandom, it makes sense.

That's what I meant by not giving them their happy shipping ending. Pyrrha would have worked out too since she got part of the story but it still goes against what the story is trying to say: Jaune and Pyrrha can't work it out. And whole fanfic was also telling us the whole time that Weiss wasn't going to work out either. Maybe it came out of nowhere and you're very sensitive about proper build up and while that can take out some ups and become lots of downs about this story, it still doesn't mean the ending was terrific or thrown out of the window. That's more like just trying hard to hate it. Granted, you can dislike it if that's not your preference but if the author thought it was satisfying, then, it does show that he gave it a thought and that's more than enough for me to like it. Especially since I talk to GEP about his fanfics. That's how I noticed that the guy wasn't GEP but another reader.
