Tha really does feel like such an odd move for the narrative. The whole point of Ironwood’s plan was slowly integrate the populace for Salem and get all organized to minimize the panic worldwide . But Ruby drops it like nothing and now everyone’s all in harmony in like months after ?
I mean you’d think the people who easily got fucked up by Cinder’s speech in Beacon’s Fall who sneed evidence to reassure them this is all true, especially after the whole Two Dead Cities. Frankly I kinda wondered how Ironwood was going to convince people anyways that an immortal witch was out there vuven his word was not what it used to be
Historically seems like Vacuo would have alot of problems vuven the whole history of military occupation, and I can’t imagine Shade being able to police an entire kingdom even with whatever remains of the Atlas military (as to my understanding the novels reveal Vacuo has like zero Dist so how is this shit powered)
Just feels like they wanna rush to the United we stand /final stand thing to wrap everytvung up wjgh a bow about unity and heart and what have you
