RWBY SHIPPING II - Blacksun

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH WHAT THE FUCK

I love Ozpin's laugh on top of this 🥺 He scrunches up his nose and chuckles in a very endearing way (at least he did in Oscar's body)

I just think he should be able to laugh without restraint every once in a while

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

I LOVE THEM TOO okay let's review, i'm gonna make this a thing

Blake & Pyrrha very on point yes, unsure how to react (+ awkward because Pyrrha probably often got that actually ??)

WHITLEY HAS PROBABLY NEVER SEEN ANYONE WINKING AT HIM EISGSKUGSH I want that image, I wanna see him seeing a flirty wink for the first time. His brain is gonna "???". Maybe he's gonna be a tomato since he's so pale. And pretend to be all huffy about it.

Rosegarden mutual blush go go.

All of these adults would absolutely wink back. And Qrow, like the disaster that he is, would actually get flustered over a loving smile & a soft look instead. WAIT actually the last time someone winked at him he just kinda stood there like o. but there was the whole semblance thing so imma give it a pass

i love how Yang, Nora and Penny, Tyrian are all in the same case but for very different reason. Yang & Nora are just chaotic & over the top as usual. While Penny is just : is this a human custom ? is that how you do it ? *holds one eye close for a whole minute* did I do it right Tyrian is threatening you while laughing maniacally

Jaune is confused or doesn't notice indeed. Winter is more than confused, she doesn't even understand what she's confused about. she must have seen wrong

Ironwood & Emerald being sandwiched between confusion ??? and IMMEDIATE SUSPICION is so on point I can already see it. (well i can't because i can't visualize to save my life but you get the point)

And again Weiss' suspicion would be different from IW & Emerald because the latter two are just like : ?? what do you want from me ?? meanwhile Weiss is just being her usual responsible representative looking at the winker like "what are you doing ?"

Ozpin is squinting like : i... i am literally your headmaster what are you doing. then he probably just jiggles his mug a bit, smiles & tries to... forget. totally will forget. yeaa. well depends who's winking tbh

Jaune & Ruby are good in the oblivious corner too, but Ren is the true king & reigns supreme in that category. which i absolutely relate to. ren is an ace icon, i mean have you SEEN THAT COOKING APRON ?

here have another XD

How can Ruby both be flustered AND oblivious, you ask? She's just that powerful.

Ozpin: This is just a reminder that all psychiatric and therapy services are completely covered by our health insurance plan

Qrow: Why do you always look at me when you say that

Honestly I agree with everything about this. Also because from what little we saw of him I think the original Ozma is more akin to a well-menaning himbo than a gentle & wise professor 👀

Finals are done, so Ozpin headcanon time!

Ozpin is one of the most eloquent and soft-spoken of all the reincarnations; and while there is more than one reason for it, this trait mostly stems from Ozpin becoming Beacon's headmaster so young.

Becoming the youngest headmaster put him in a position of power over not only the students barely younger than himself, but gave him political power with a seat on the council with people who were most likely older elected politicians. For the sake of his students- many who would view any act of authority from him with skepticism due to the small age gap- he had to learn how to present himself as someone approachable without making himself seem like a pushover to be challenged. And as a politician, Ozpin similarly had to show his own competence as a politician- to make sure the remaining council members didn't try to walk all over him- while making sure he didn't come off as too overpowering since he wasn't elected to his seat like the others were.

The answer to this was to learn how to use words to his fullest advantage. That means not only knowing the words to say, but how to say them. Ozpin quickly mastered how to use tone, body language, pitch, and other factors to help his words carry weight without them landing like an attack on others.

He also quickly learned how to use this skill guide people's thinking- which is fantastic for when he is encouraging students to think in new ways, as well as deflecting questions or conclusions from people who want to know a little too much ;P

RWBY as Chess Pieces

The King

The heart. The most crucial yet vulnerable. The team needs his direction and he needs their defense. If he falls, the game is over (or so we think).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Queen

The most powerful piece with the strongest will. Independent. Takes no nonsense and gets things done. Dignified but ruthless when necessary.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Bishops

The overlooked pieces. Wise and strategic. They strike when least expected, effects often fatal. Their stealth is unmatched.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Knights

The unpredictable pieces. Quick-thinking and versatile. They jump over obstacles, offer unconventional solutions. Honorable and fiercely loyal to the queen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Rooks

The heavy hitters. Tough and protective. Standing at the front lines, they attack directly. They are the strongest pieces.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Pawns

The underestimated pieces. Late bloomers. Once they reclaim their agency and destiny, They become a decisive winning advantage.

I've been having THOUGHTS again (very dangerous I know, someone take my brain away) but about Summer this time bc I saw a post with the same premise aka...

Please, PLEASE don't make her a Ruby 2.0

The show kind of loves to emphasize their Ruby-Summer similarities... Their designs are very similar, and most of the time when her personnality is mentionned it's to drive home how much Ruby took after her.

But I really don't want it to BE that ?

EVERYONE is their own person. And even then in general, trapping a child in the confines of who their parents were is bad for them on many levels. It stifles growth and self-expression and in Ruby's case since her mom is very appreciated by those she left behind, it's also a kind of "role model" she feels she HAS to reach. Even though Ruby's growth right now should lean more toward acknowedging her flaws, her trauma with honesty and gentleness instead of being "perfect" like her mom. I don't want Ruby teared down, but i also don't particularly want 3 speeches a day about how good she is because it doesn't help nor fixes her core issues.

BUT ANYWAY, back to Summer Rose. Make Summer her own characters. Give her flaws, her own personnality, her own dreams. Why did she join Beacon academy ? How did she get along with everyon ? What I love most about her design are the little things that differentiate her from Ruby. A warmer skin (though let's be honest Ruby being pale as a sheet makes no sense when BOTH of her parents are more tanned wyd RT xD); a white cape; hair even redder that her daughter

Give me a Summer who has the same drive and optimism as her daughter but who is her own person. Give me a bratty Summer. Give me a Summer who knows how to make herself respected. A Summer who is warm and bright and sunny but won't coddle you. A Summer with a temper. A Summer who went toe to toe with Qrow's shenanigans. A Summer able to butt heads with Raven without flinching and laught it off afterwards like a warm summer wind.

In a fanfiction I read, someone went ahead and gave Summer & Clover parallels and similarities as a way to tie up how easily Qrow fell into that relationship. Give me this sort of thing : let Summer exist outside of Ruby. Tell Yang how she inherited some of her mother's quirks too. She knew her in a way Ruby didn't. Show that.

Give me her mistakes and her flaws without making Ruby the "upgraded" version who is everything Summer was without her failings. Instead, give me a human Summer and a human Ruby who are both their own person with their own flaws, similar but also so very different. Let Ruby recognize that without making it about "being Summer but better". I know that "the world is in good hands with the new generation, they're better than us" is compelling to many and there were already hints of that...

But I wish for something slightly different. Just a step to the left

it would b efunny if you did the "which is gayer" meme with wallace and steven from pokemon

I live to serve anon ! Enjoy your meme 👀

I did play Alpha Sapphire but I forgot these two. Their outfits rock though

I really hope Whitley gets glyph like his sisters soon. It would be really cool! (^ ▽ ^)

Ooooh that's a lovely idea !! I'm planning on some Pride posts but honestly I had a long day & I'm beat so... great reblog idea for tonight before going to bed

I identify as asexual just like OP ! And uh... my romantic orientation is Error 404 My gender is "binders are great and being a sexless being would be the best but I don't experience dysphoria nor care about/understand pronouns enough so I don't feel legitimate calling myself anything </3"

Yeaaah identity stuff is hard for me, sorry. That said...

I headcannon Lie Ren as a romantic asexual ♡

I actually don't headcannon easily characters, so I'll see later if I can't think of anyone else. But Lie Ren just vibes very ace to me and I also yearn for representation ;;

Let's play a game! In honor of Pride Month, reblog with the flag(s) you identify with, and then underneath, post the flags of a character you headcanon with the same or similar identities!

I'll start!

I identify as: aromantic asexual - he/they demiboy

I headcanon Ruby Rose as: demiromantic asexual
