1) ....Not again. :C

2) The way it's portrayed just screams "Forgiven and Forgotten". Blake says "Forgive", but everything in that scene screams that she also applies "Forget" at the same time. And everyone else rolls with it, with Ratman being the only sane person who questions it.

But speaking of Weiss, I wanna see Ilia's reaction when she finds out that not only does Blake have at least 3 Human friends, but one of them is even the (ex-)Schnee Heiress.

As for the "double standard".....no, it's different.

>Blake realized an unknown amount of time prior to Vol.1 what the WF had become, left it, and since then has fought against it and what they stand for, which is a false equality.

>Ilia didn't, she continued helping the WF with minimal second thoughts about it, defended their ideals, but most importantly, exploited Blake's trust (via the letter) to bring her to a trap, to kidnap her and take her to Adam, without regrets, while she helped kill her parents, despite the fact that Ilia lost her own parents and knows better than anyone how it feels.

If anything, it was worse since Ilia lost hers in an accident. Different from helping the Albains kill them.

Basically, Ilia didn't just realize it later, but her crimes, personal and perfectly-legal, far outnumber Blake, and unlike Blake, her "redemption" was, quite literally, at that moment, while Blake herself was fighting the WF for at least a good chunk of a semester (V1-3).

So, no, there is no double standard. This is comparing a hummingbird to an albatross. The scale of their crimes is what makes the diffference, and unlike Blake Ilia changed her mind just now, so we can't even say she's been trying to redeem herself for a while.

3) Honestly, I don't think Sun and Weiss have even interacted personally. At most, Weiss calling him a criminal back in Vol.1. And back then, he was a criminal, even if it wasn't a major crime.

With Blake, hey, being interested in her is 80% of his character and role in the story. Of course he would just take it and suck it up. Besides, he likely understood (after getting tazed) she was undergoing a bit of an emotional storm inside at the time.

As for the stab....just because it "seemingly just needed some bandages" doesn't mean it wasn't life-threatening if he didn't get help. Especially since it's not a stab, it's an electrified stab.

The stab was on the right-upper side, I don't recall where exactly. But if it was in the torso, it could've hit and shocked an organ or muscle, like the lung, which potentially could've hit the heart and that would be bad.

If it was on the shoulder, there's huge blood vessels there, as well as delicate veins and a pretty complex joint. But in summary: Injuries anywhere can be lethal. Even a shot on the foot can be lethal. In fact, the only place mostly-guaranteed to not be lethal if you're injured there, is the buttcheeks.
