~After the Battle at haven~

M!Blake: Yang!

Yang: Blake- Is that Stubble?

M!Blake: *Rubbing his chin* Uh, Yeah? I didn't have anythign to shave with-

Yang: *Rubbing his chin too* Wow ... It's scratchy ...

M!Blake: If you don't like it-

Yang: *Blushing* No I like it!

M!Blake: ... *Blushing* Ah.

Weiss: ... Gods, will those two just fuck already?

Ruby: Blake's been back for three minutes Weiss.

Weiss: I know! And I've already had to sit back and watch them pine for too long!

I know a lot of people have said the same thing but it's making me so emotional to see how far Blake has come in terms of being able to feel like she owns her own agency and attraction, and doesn't have to be wary of it. We know how badly Adam's abuse affected her, even long after she was out of that relationship (and it didn't help that her attempt to heal was continually interrupted by him trying to hunt her down), and you can clearly see this in her demeanor and just how clearly wary she is of any connection throughout the beginning of the series.

It's really after V6 that we see her start to really open up, and before that we never really see her like...initiate any touch, let alone flirting, with Yang (or anyone, but Yang is the person who she starts opening up towards most) even though she is clearly into her for the majority of the show. It feels very true to life that we see the way she has trust issues, and is hesitant about her own feelings, when we know a fair amount about what she has been either stated or implied to have been through in her past relationship, and hearing her talk about her own sense of self as a result of it during several points of the story but especially V8 says a lot about how she wants to change, but change is a process.

So it's so so so fucking meaningful and powerful feeling to see her taking the lead so much this volume, not just in her plans for them getting out of the Ever After but in the way she is, to put it bluntly, thirsty as fucking hell and not afraid to show it. She's taking every opportunity to initiate touch with Yang, and to flirt and send very obvious signals and it's such a fantastic sign of her own growth and confidence and feeling of safety and trust - which is doubly powerful because of how much Yang probably needs exactly that given her own issues still clearly kicking around.

SO IN THIS ESSAY I WILL DISCUSS HOW BLAKE SHOULD BE THE ONE TO INITIATE THE KISS -

Cinder, decked out in a new custom outfit: "If I'm gonna be doing raids, I'm gonna look hot while doing it."

Blake: "Weren't you the one who came to the irl meet dressed in a ratted out hoodie-"

Cinder: "SHUT."

No offense to many writers, but most of the Vance × Finney Fics I've seen is just basically making Finn a vulnerable kid who can barely speak for himself 😭 And then there's Vance, who's surprisingly.. alright i guess. But please for the love of god, DON'T make him too SWEET. You all know damn well that he isn't gonna speak so nicely to Finney, as much as it's lovely let's not forget his rude and violent nature at times despite him being very misunderstood; Vance can be nice but don't just change his entire character because he has some nice moments in your own writing. 😭

Side note:

This is a personal opinion that no one needs and that's fine, you don't even need to actually listen to what i just said because you have a right. OBVIOUSLYYYY please don't make me seem like a bitch since I'm just giving an uncalled for advice. And please READ the tags before i get flamed here

It's amusing that RWBY in all likelihood, actually accomplished Adam's dream by destroying the SDC and Atlas in V8. They posthumously fulfilled his wishes without even meaning to lol.

The man also seemed to want the destruction of the academies and yeah so far the team is 3 for 3 on that front.

Siblings! Siblings! Siblings!!

wildbow thought of the name for the main character, which he thought was terribly clever, but was worried that it was too clever, and thus nobody would understand his cleverness. Thinking this a terrible tragedy, wildbow thus put a sphinx in there, to ensure nobody would end up too confused.
