Here's my reblog to officially get this going !
For clarity :
if I use "&" it means platonic
I love certain relationships from one side, but I can have other pairings I find more interesting for the other character.
If there's a > here or there, it's just to indicate that I prefer the relationship as platonic over romantic, or the other way around, or I'm more interested in some relationships than others in the team
════════════════ *.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*════════════════
Ruby Rose
Gngrbrd/Rosegarden they are so SOFT and so good for each other. helping the other up. disagreeing healthily but still being allies & here for each other. sharing what hurts, what's ugly and not perfectly optimistic. they just;; are here for each other and i love them for that
Ruby & Qrow they are so cute, Ruby was never cuter than when she interacted with Qrow in Vol1-3 she looked up to him so damn much; and he loves & cares so much for her in return. AND NOW HE THINKS SHE'S DEAD don't touch me i'm sad. I want a reunion hug
✦
Weiss Schnee
Freezerburn i'm sorry, there are few RWBY conversations I have loved more than Weiss & Yang's in V5, i loved them so much in this volume and they still have a chokehold on me. i love them so much also they would absolutely not divorce come on i know "weiss ice queen" jokes have not died out but Weiss has gotten so much softer, also her & Yang have never had a strong disagreement and she'll defend her with her life.
Team RWBY (Yang = Ruby > Blake) THEY ARE FOUND FAMILY i love
Weiss & Winter
✦
Blake Belladonna
Blake & Sun/Blacksun i wasn't particularly invested in the ship for V1-V3 but Blake really needed help & a steadfast presence in V4-V5 as well as some sunny optimism and Sun was there for her so yeah i'm sorry i still love them so goddamn much. also, he just had so much impact on Blake in general by finally geting her to accept her friends' help and stop making choices for them. he might lacks tact but come on he cares for her it's dishonest to argue the countrary. BLAKE HAS TWO HANDS IF THAT'S WHY YOU DISLIKE SUN. JUST SAYING.
Blake & Yang (V1-V5) i really like their relationship, i loved Burning the Candle & i don't have any problems with Bumbleby fundamentally. however i would have liked more for the resolution of their V5 conflict (like a soft & deep convo similar to what Yang & Weiss had, or Lumity in last week's ep if you watch it too). Just my preference. All that Matters is a song I absolutely love, but for me it's not a love song but a very sad one and I would have wanted another resolution than the one we got.

Yang Xiao-Long
Freezerburn
Yang & Tai he's not a bad dad at all okay, i will fight some people. and the way he & Yang are so similar but also he's so much more chill are very nice to see. they complete each other well.
Yang & Ruby
Yang & Blake (V1-V5)
✦
Lie Ren
Ren & Nora > Renora no problem with Renora at all, i love these two together but i also don't feel strongly about the ship, platonic would have been by me. plus i didn't really like the kiss scene we've got, i don't think it was a very good one given that neither of them were in the right headspace. i love most of their relationship otherwise
Ren & Emerald/Envy Zinnia i saw a fanart by *iwantofall* and have never been the same since. please look it up.
Ren & Oscar they are brothers your honor
✦
Nora Valkyrie
Nora & Ren > Renora
Nora & Jaune
Just... Renoarc ;; Nora & her boys. she loves them so much. she takes such good care of them. her 2 beautiful idiots. "jaune stop hurting yourself" & "ren you're good enough stop throwing yourself at dangerous Grim". i care them
✦
Oscar Pine
Gngrbrd/Rosegarden
Oscar & Ozpin dadpin dadpin dadpin dadpin dad-
Oscar & Murder Kids Oscar & Emerald are gonna be a riot I can tell. He's her whole moral compass. and Mercury is gonna be even worse than Emerald. I can't wait. I wanna see Mercury get reluctantly attached to our farm boi. Oscar won't catch a break with these two but he'll have a protection squad ready to do anything for him.
✦
Penny Polendina
Penny & Winter i have no words for how much I loved Penny & Winter. they made me cry. they care so much for each other. they were trying so hard. never judged the others for their decisions & still looked out for each other. we don't deserve them.
Penny & Ruby (V1-V3) absolutely loved Ruby's acceptance of Penny in the earlier volume. set such an important tone for our redhead sweetheart. last volume soured the relationship for me because of the whole "now you have a flesh body" plot, and taking decisions for Penny (even if well-meaning) in a volume where she struggled with agency. i'm sorry.
✦
Jaune Arc
Jaune & Marrow/Guard Dogs they were so cute & fun. Marrow just can't get Jaune name right but he worried so much for him. and they're just fun you know
Jaune & Neo
Caduceus i blame iwantofall again. but the art is,, too cute. it's just very hard for me to ship jaune. i can't vibe with white knight & lancaster at all; but these two ships pass the test. guard dogs more because there is canon content. and they are wholesome.
Renorarc
✦
Qrow
Qrow & Clover/Fair Game they were so good for each other okay i don't care i don't want any clover slander here :( they worked very well together and clover was great for qrow's self-esteem because he didn't let his self-deprecating jokes slide. none of them !! as he should !! they deserved better
Qrow & Ozpin/Cloqwork
Qrow & Ruby
✦
BONUS (no more pictures)
Mercury & Emerald
each other aka Murder Kids (platonic/found family) i really can't ship emercury sorry, but they clearly care about each other a lot they've been together for years. i hope it'll stay platonic but as it is i really love their relationship. please mercury redemption don't separate the murder kids.
Murder Kids & Oscar
Mercury & Qrow qrow had a shitty life too, both have semblance-related struggles & their arc was/is about getting out of the shitty background they were raised in. the potential here is unparalleled. they'd clash so much but also.. there's something soft under. i wanna see it.
Emerald & Ren
Winter
Winter & Penny
Winter & Ironwood this was her dad (affectionate)... they trusted each other so much
Whitley
Whitley & Oscar > Snowpines
Whitley & Ruby i just want good things for Whitley. that is the basis of him interacting with Oscar & Ruby. I WANT HIM TO HAVE FRIENDS. also Oscar & Ruby are an inspiration, maybe it'd alight something in him.
Whitley & Qrow qrow is so opposite to everything he was raised in but that's what makes it appealing. i saw fanfics of this, i love the idea of Whitley admiring Qrow and starting to emulate him a bit even though it's so out of place for a schnee kid. but it would be the point wouldn't it : he can finally stop fawning.

RWBY Relationships Tag Game
Okay, this has probably already been done but A tagging game for fun while waiting for V9, and to celebrate all our different tastes in characters & relationships !
For each character in RWBY : share your favorite platonic and/or romantic relationships for that character !
Doesn't have to be canon at all : if you love Yang & Emerald go for it, if you love Freezerburn go for it ! And if it's canon that great as well : if you love Emerald City go for it, if you love Bumbleby go for it ! No judgment from my side whatsoever, just share whatever relationship catch your eye & tickles your interest.
You don't have to do every character, but don't hesitate to do a good amount if you're in the mood ! Just skip characters you aren't interested in, but otherwise background characters are just as welcome as main teams.
I'll start with a reblog, and tag some people at the end. If you don't wanna play, no pressure ! I'm not close to many people so I'll just tag some people I think are cool, sorry if it seems like it's coming out of nowhere :') Just ignore my tag if you don't wanna join in !
