RWBY SHIPPING II - Blacksun

Hello again everyone !

Onward with the shippy songs, I'm continuing with Blacksun !

Why ? Because, sue me I still like them, and I'm very happy with their choice song since it's a song I've rarely seen used or recognized Their theme song is Communist lovesong - Soltero

WHY THIS SONG ?

This song fits in my opinion both Blacksun as a couple, as well as their WF-related storyline from V4-V5 and it's this specificity that made me choose this song for them.

The song notably presents someone who is disillusioned with certain ideas & has been convinced that things cannot work out even if the original idea was well-meaning. It's a view that perfectly fits Blake's relationship with the White Fang during V4-V5.

As the song continues however, the singer seems to get back on his feet. Imagining this song as a back & forth between Blake and Sun, Sun alleviating Blake's sadness at the WF current's state and encouraging her to keep going, makes the song fit them especially well.

A few noteworthy lyrics :

When V4 rolls over, Blake has nearly given up on the WF & her determination at stopping their harm. The WF was a great idea, well meaning & well conceived, but got lost somewhere along the way until Blake didn't feel like she belonged with them. Faced with the attack on Beacon, the WF involvement and Yang's state, Blake isn't sure that fighting is worth the price anymore.

Sun on the other hand, is as ready to lend a hand and provide some advice as ever. He helps Blake to accept others' help & respect their choices in spite of her guilt. Guilt that he doesn't allow her to dwell in.

More than anything, and even if his timing isn't always the best, Sun knew how much the WF mattered to Blake, and kept an open eye even when she herself didn't feel up to it.

Thanks to a bit of rest, as well as Sun's steadfast attempts to help with the WF and her pent-up guilt, Blake manages to reconcile her disapproval for the WF current methods with her desire to still fight for what the WF was supposed to be. People might think that all of WF is bad & rotten, but Blake knows that to be false. And she's determined to build back up and to try again.

Blake & Sun are both Faunus and as such, even if Sun wasn't born & raised here, he's still concerned by the WF actions. Menagerie is a haven for Faunus of all kind, *their* land and Blake in particular is tied to it. All throughout V4-5; they walk their land together, Sun being particularly determined at helping Blake with her struggles.

And that's it for Blacksun ! Don't hesitate to tell me what you think. If you find my shipping + songs list, you can also ask me to do X ship next.

I think putting lyrics on gif is less time consuming for me. So I'll prob keep doing that when I can. Tell me if they gifs aren't too ugly zkffnqj

Gudnight everyone !
