I suspect some members of this forum will be happy to see the "thirsty moms" seem to be closer to Saphron's age than Willow's. I am not happy. That is not nearly as funny and if that scene is all it was then that is disappointing. :(

On an unrelated note, I am getting kind of annoyed at the sort of revisionist history here with Weiss so far this Volume. Worse is they are literally having her speak the revisionism to affirmations from everyone else. Like, what is that "Father's view of the world no longer matches with mine" remark about? The whole point of her going to Beacon, as she explained herself, is that she didn't agree with her father and his view of the world, so she set out on a plan to try and fix things. Pretty much every story she has told makes it seem as if Weiss and Jacques were never really in tune with each other.

It happened before with her remarking about being "complacent" in the SDC's abuse of the Faunus. Given what she herself said about her reasons for heading to Beacon and her feelings about what Jacques has done in the family name, it is hard to see where she was complacent. Maybe when she was really young she could have been complacent, but that is hardly her fault. Once she got into her teen years it was established that she was aware and took issue with the actions of her family company and wanted to change things. Hopefully, at some point, someone will actually call this out rather than essentially nodding in agreement. Whole thing is feeling a lot like a retcon at this point otherwise.
