Penny Polendina - Blog Posts
Yes, I want to talk about rwby
Soooooo new volume!
I might have fallen in love with Winter (again) and there's also all the new characters and penny is back!!!!!! Omg!!!!! I love the way it is going right now (as usual), but that doesn't mean I have no criticism.
Honestly the only thing that I feel really sad about right now is that our faves didn't get a weapon design montage, though I guess there were more pressing matters like introducing new characters, maybe it just didn't fit in? I dunno it's just a bit sad, I would've loved to see Ruby geek out about weapons and new designs and Blake repair hers with gold (we all know the symbolism behind that) but maybe we will in the future.
After chapter 2 I was a bit miffed about how they handled the whole lying to ironwood thing but it got resolved in chapter 3 and now I am just curious how it will play out.
I really hope we get to see Oscar walk through atlas and meeting some new people, or talk to Pietro about the cane maybe. I just want to see more Oscar please.
But yeah, I love RWBY and I love that we finally get to see more and I am hyped! (Also omg the ace ops ahhhhhhhh)
Last thing: is there a RWBY fandom discord channel? If yes, can someone send me the link? If no, would anyone join if I made one?
Putting my animation diploma to some real use for once and animating my girls
Definitely had some challenges with this one as it's a fairly technical shot, but I'm proud of where it ended up!

Valentine's day quick sketch
being both a Kingdom Hearts and RWBY fan means that every time art of Strelitzia from KH:Uχ appears on my dash I have to pause to double check it’s not Penny Polendina, that other teal-eyed ginger in a lovely skirt and bow neckpiece doomed by the narrative whose murder someone was framed for
It won't pull me down (Keep moving forward now) The weight of impossible days (Keep your head above the clouds) I'll stand tall (I'm right with you, I will lift you) I'll rise up and carry us all the way (Just hold on)
Nuts and Dolts art inspired by "Atlas Falls" - Shinedown (2:41)
Listened to this song by Ado and randomly imagined Ruby and Penny partying in Vacuo ♥
Song : 唱 Another Story by Ado
some practice expressions I did of Penny in 2022

comic commissioned by @bravewriting for their lovely RWBY/Nuts n Dolts role-reversal fic linked above :)
Nuts and Dolts Week 2023 - Day 7 - First Kiss
Hey peeps!
So hey! That was one hell of a Nuts & Dolts Week! Huge props to everyone who participated in this lovely week, because goddammit I desperately needed the serotonin
(Also sorry I couldn’t do all the prompts! I still had some timing issues and couldn’t get everything done when I wanted it to be. Sorry!!)
Anyhoo, here we are! First kiss
I really wanted this piece to be special, so I went ham on absolutely everything
I concepted Vacuo Outfits! I nitpicked every little pose/position! I made sure the facial expressions were perfect! I had really fun lighting! Background could be better but who cares! Let these girls be happy dammit!!
So yeah!
Happy Nuts and Dolts Week, and I can’t wait for next year!
Ruby takes Penny to Bubba Bubba Boba to try boba ♥
(that's a lot of boba)
(Click on it for the actual resolution in case Tumblr messed it up)
Omg a non TWST art it's probably going to flop so hard but lmao i guess I'll just accept that. Yeet I haven't drawn anything RWBY in a year... I'm hyped asf for Volume 8's continuation lol. I was planning on posting this on 2021 but I finished early so yeet lol
ALSO TWST MUTUALS GET INTO RWBY PARA ASTIG LOLOLOLOLOL
AU where Ruby works in a music store and hosts a local radio and Penny starts to come regularly mostly to see her (totally inspired from Life is Strange True Colors-)
I hope they release an official figure of Cordovin eventually, but for now I’ll happily make one of my own.
I used Yang’s body and Nora’s head from the Series 3 collection.
These are legit my favorite two screenshots. I love every expression and pose in them. You can tear RWBY from my cold dead hands.
shoutout to RWBY Volume 9 for making me ship both Nuts n Dolts and Rosegarden when neither Penny nor Oscar were even in the volume
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 !
It has been years but I wanted to do it except it was my finals so, I'm sending in a late submission sorry -
It was kind of hard to decide tho ? I don't project a lot on characters tbh hhhh (introspection my frenemy)
My top two FAVORITE characters :
(no this is not two times Oscar, it's a *trap* )
My top two COMFORT characters :
The two characters I PROJECT onto/RELATE to the most :
(but mostly Weiss)
The character who has HELPED/INSPIRED me the most :
I'm- not sure I have anyone for this one, sorry. But I did most of the assignment ? xD
I don't know really who to tag, but anyone who sees this is welcome to participate !
There's been a lot of negativity in the RWBY fandom recently (when isn't there) so I thought I'd cleanse the dash and tl with some positivity.
Let's play a game of sorts. Post your:
- top two favorite characters
- top two comfort characters
- two characters you project onto/relate to the most
- one character that has helped/inspired you the most
You don't have to give reasons why, you can if you want to, I just thought we could see our love for RWBY and how its helped a bunch of us. You can also repeat characters, if one overlaps in a category.

What is your take on rwby chara's mbti types? I think
Weiss - xSTJ, thought that she was ESTJ at first but ISTJ makes a lot of sense too.
Winter - ESTJ
Pyrrha - ESFJ
Emerald - ISFJ (I've seen some ppl type her as INFJ but I don't see how she is a Ni dom?)
Whitley - ENTJ? I'm honestly not sure abt that..
Adam - fucked up xNFJ, probably INFJ (seen him typed as xNTJ but his delusional thinking process imo screams unhealthy Ti and I think his manipulation of Blake and the WF is more Fe than Te
Qrow - was thinking ISTP but with the more recent volumes I'm really not sure..
Penny - ENFP
Ozpin - Uuuuuh INTP maybe?? But I've seen some people type him as INFJ. INFJ 5w6 would make sense as to why he might appear as an INTP but idk..
Bartholomew- ENTP
Jaune - no fucking idea honestly
Ironwood - ENTJ
Sun - Seen ppl type him as ENFP but I don't see any Ne at all..,,ESFP?
Yang - ESxP, maybe ESTP
Cinder - INTJ
Mercury - ISTP
Oscar - ISFJ
Ren - ISTx?
Hello anon ! I see my love for typology hasn't gone unnoticed 😂 Thank you so much for the ask !
I prefer enneagram over MBTI because I find it easier to type; so fair warning that I'm not an authority on MBTI-typing. But I do have have an ongoing RWBY typing that includes MBTI sooo... here goes !
(I'm putting my ennea typings along with it, but not explaining them on this post)
➸ RWBYJNPR
Ruby • xNFP 6w7 9w1 2w3?
I just can't decide between the two fors Ruby because... it kind of goes both way ??? Like Ruby definitely feels as INFP for the first half of the series; she's got a clear Fi > Ne preference... But then when she develops her Tert in V6 it's just... Te ? And she really doesn't show much Si actually she fits more the Si inf vibe in the form of forgetting about bad memories and her mom until people dig it up and she's like "nooo !" ?? So it looks like Te > Si but also Fi > Ne; conclusion idfk
Weiss • ISTJ 1w2 6w5 3w4 sp/so
Clear Fi tert rearing its head along with the 1 so I'm going with ISTJ; I also never really saw any Ne. Her type isn't too disagreed upon so tell me if you want a lenghtier explanation.
Blake • ISFP 6w5 9w8 4w3 (in some order)
Wooh this might get the anger of some (i have experience with the INFJ typers) but Blake goddamn REEKS of Fi. Less so recently but for the first seasons oh my god. She straights up catch you by the shirt and tells you "I'm doing the right thing"; and said right thing is so heavily dependant on her own subjectives values, which is why Blake can't reconcile with the current White Fang; because she doesn't have a strong Je vision of "what objectively works in the end", she only sees actions in terms of immediate right and wrong, and this b&w dichotomy stems from herself. What the WF is doing is wrong and the circumstances don't matter for judging the morality of their actions (of course I'm not talking about murder here bc that's pretty wrong ALL THE TIME but for example the stealing occuring in V1 bc of the WF is a better example)
Yang • ESXP 7w8 8w7 2w3
I'm sorry about that but I can't help you on that aspect anon, I still can't make up my mind about whether Yang has Fi or Ti. I have seen arguments for both, and i'm not the best at picking up on Ti so it's hard for me to tell.
Jaune • ESFJ 6w7 3w2 9w1
No strong opinions on his MBTI, it's kinda just based on vibes
Nora • ENFP 6w7 9w8 3w2
Textbook ENFP, not much to say here x))
Pyrrha • XXFJ 2w1 1w2 6?
In my list Pyrrha is currently written down as ISFJ but that's mostly based on the general consensus and me wanting to get rid of the XX. I don't actually have any convincing arguments to decide on Ni or Si, so I could go either way if someone else makes their case well. I feel like she's Fe aux more than dom, but even about that I could change my mind. Pyrrha didn't have that much screentime in the end :((
Ren • ISTJ? 9w1 5w4 4w5
Ironically I'm not sure about his type, kind of like you. I've mentionned I'm not very good at picking up on Ti right ? And Ren was a background character before V4 really. I had him written down as ISTP for a while but I've seen some convincing arguments for ISTJ so I might lean toward that actually but who knows. The thing I'm very confident about is his 5 fix = )
➸ Faunus bonus
Sun • ESFP 7w6 2w3 9w1 so/sx
I don't see any Ne at all either so I don't understand the ENFP typings...?? Maybe the 7 stereotypes ? Imo Sun is just a very good boy; certified ESFP 7 himbo; triple positive sunshine !
Ilia • Ti-Fe axis ?
Again, not enough screentime for me to make an educated guess. My only certainty is : not high Fi. It's the source of their conflicts. Blake confidence in absolute right & wrong, tracing lines in the sand between acceptable & unacceptable. Whereas Ilia can only shake her head and say "Because it works", or cry out "I don't know what else to do !"
Adam • 3w4 8w7 6w5
I honestly don't really have much of an opinion about Adam's MBTI, i'm sorry anon ;; I don't know enough about how he thinks
➸ Oz-related things and his circle
Ozpin • INFJ 5w4 2w1 1w9
I would personally call him an INFJ. I... never really got INTP vibes from him ? I don't see the Fe inf work out with his interactions : he's always rather at ease, he knows how to navigate around people... His focus inherently lies on doing what's best for the "group", the people, humanity. Fx functions are both concerned with ethics, in different ways, and I think Oz reflects that well. He IS concerned with the moral weight of his actions, but it's a more adaptable and unpersonnal concern than Fi people. He regards Ironwood's soul machines as something wrong, but can still agree to use it if the situations demand it for example. So... if the INFJ + 5 makes sense to you, well that's what I'm typing him personally. I also feel like Ni fits him more than Ne. Ozpin has a very linear way of planning, he does use his fair share of symbolism in every day conversation... Even when taking decisions, he... kind of cares about the meaning of things a lot ? It's hard to explain but like; the way he highlights the difference between an army and a guardian, and the emotionnal response it brings. I don't know it feels like there's some Ni vibes in there x)
Oscar • ISFJ 9w8 6w7 3w2
Oscar's type honestly isn't the one I would have the easiest time explaining in lenght but yea. It's mostly vibes; also just like Ozpin he doesn't seem to have a particularly Fi reasonning. And he feels more grounded, I don't really remember any Ni so... yay ?
Ironwood • ENFJ 6w5 1w2 3w4 (pre-Vol8); ENTJ (post-Vol8)
Might be weird if you think he was a dictator from the start, but I kind of entertained the idea of Ironwood being Fe dom ? From his very first interaction it was very clear that he was a Je dom to me; he's all about objective results; he doesn't give off the "internal framework" or "personnal values" vibe AT ALL; so it was more a matter of picking Te or Fe. He LOOKS super Te don't get me wrong; but he also has an enneagram tritype that is very common amongst XXTJs (and TJs stereotypes thus derive from it). And just like Oz, his focus at all time seemed to be the greater good and doing what's best for the people still. So I was like... Eh, a "harsh" ENFJ I think that's interesting ? Plus Fe ethics actually derive from their environment, kinda like "everyone agrees that Y is wrong", and if you consider that James is from Atlas... Well his way of thinking and ethics align pretty well with the military.
His character took a turn for the worse in V8 (whether too quick or not depends on who you ask) and past that point he's a clear ENTJ; but I feel like it was more debatable before that. Idk though I might be overthinking this in the hope of making more interesting combinations xD
Qrow • ISTP 4w3 6w7? 1w9? sp/sx
I don't really see anything else than ISTP for Qrow... But he's not a character I would want to find Ti arguments for either.
Raven • ENTJ Cp6w5 8w9 3w4
Most villains get called ENTJ at the first occasions tbh zlqfznhqzkf but I think it fits Raven for the most part actually...
➸ Atlas
Winter • ESTJ 1w9 3w4 6w5
The whole Schnee family has the same enneagram tritype in different order/different wings, it's ridiculous I think she has a higher Te than Weiss, and Fi inf fits her more. She struggles more to reconcile with her emotions and the idea of a personal right/wrong than her little sis.
Penny • ENFP 4w3 6w7 9w1 sx/so
Perfect example of a healthy 4, she's a great friend a cutie pie. ... Sorry we were talking about MBTI x) Well again, textbook ENFP. Not much to debate here.
Whitley • 3w4 1w9 6w5?
Not enough material for me to guess a MBTI type correctly either, sorry... I could see some kind of xNTJ yea but it's really just vibes and not enough concrete.
➸ Antagonists and Extras
Cinder • 8w7 3w4 6w5
Never cared to guess her MBTI type. I hereby type her as insufferable qkfqskfq. More seriously, I don't really know sorry Anon :/
Emerald • 2w3 ?w? ?w?
I never got Fe vibes from her tbh, I just think she's a 2. And Fe as a function is very infused with 2 stereotypes. So yea. Like, she isn't even that worried about the morality of her actions or anything more than the other villains. She just cares more about her personal relationships and being loved, so she automatically looks much nicer, especially with 2 mechanisms of trying to make herself useful and needed. Also because she's surrounded by 8-ish people xD
Mercury • 8w9 7w8 ?w?
ISTP doesn't sound too farfeteched, but I never MBTI-typed him either, sorry.
+
Bartholomew Oobleck • xSxJ 5w4
The only vibe he gave me is Si somewhere because of all his talks about learning from the past and everything repeats itself and it's a mine of informations at Mountain Glen... That's really the only time I tried to put down anything for him, and it was Si + 5. He could be some kind of xNTP nerd too for sure, but that's more vibe and I couldn't make an actual argument for it.
