#Good Fuck Charm (Qrow)

[raunchyremnant-relaunched]

Qrow was a slightly-above-average seven inches; one of the very few things he'd ever gotten lucky on in his life... Seeing Kali down on her knees for him, that was definitely another. He inhaled sharply as the faunus licked his now-exposed member. "Ngh... I guess... That wouldn't be so bad~"

"Mmm. Ghira is definitely thicker, but you have a good length there. Would be great having both in at once." She teased simply, winking at him as if she had just won the jackpot, before getting to her knees.

Licking his member with a deep hunger. A pur radiating from her throat

[ruins-of-tragedy]

Old habits die hard it seems. Not as thorough, but here you have some random thoughts on volume four of RWBY...

- Cinder may be bad, but she is a good villain and shouldn't have to take shite from Watts. Especially when she did get the job done... Misogyny in the workplace. Can never truly escape it.

- Salem is pretty in a creepy fashion. Does she have a dust stone in her?

- How is Jaune still okay? He was hit by rocks. So were his crown jewels, if you catch my drift. And then his face as well. Glad he is somehow still standing though!

- What do you mean his armour and weapon now have Pyrrha's too?! ...I am not crying. Am not!

- Please tell me this butler of the Schnees is Calvin Klein. Such humble origins! 😂

- That whole video with Pyrrha while Jaune and Ruby listen. Why?! Why must you hurt me like this...

- It also shows Beacon in the background. 🥺

- Pyrrha is going to haunt the narrative and I wouldn't have it any other way.

- Ghira and Kali Belladonna are great parents. Kudos to them for trying their best while still not being too over bearing during difficult situations.

- Jacques Schnee should come at me and meet his demise. Whitley is annoying.

- Two things. Why did Professor Ozpin sound like Baymax the first time he scared the living shite out of Oscar? Secondly, I legit thought either this is Ozpin's kid or that he reincarnated again. (Apparently, was closer to the truth than I imagined)

- Cheered every time Zwei was on-screen.

- "I will be there for you." -Tai, F.R.I.E.N.Dly father. 😆

- Well. Qrow is a tragic character. "Bad luck charm." Fucking hell. I love him.

- What traumatic hero hellhole did they make Lie and Nora's backstory in?

- Holy fuck. Ren is going through so much shite mentally. And he still came back. Best boy!!!

- Funny thing, his semblance really confused me at first. He took away the colours when using it and I assumed that meant they go invisible. Had to enlist my friend to help figure it out. Big brain moment. 😅

- Now, here's to friends like Sun who are there for us when we don't want them to! Or allow them to, but still need.

- As someone who adores purple, Salem's lair is my dream house. I just need to get rid of the occupants. And install some warm lights.

- Casey Lee Williams brings it every time she has to sing for RWBY and I love that!!!

- This season felt more like a filler, but a necessary one...

- Yang underwent the using-her-head-full-of-wonderful-gold-locks-first, instead-of-relying-only-on-brute-strength arc. 👊🏻

- Weiss' family is an absolute mess and now we know why she is the way she is. But also that she is better than them too. She has to be. Especially after everything that happened. ❄️

- Blake really needed to realise letting people be there for her is important. Even more so because they want to, since they love her. 💖

- Team RNJR is grieving and getting better and possesses a whole lot of emotional baggage they need to sort out. At least they have each other's backs! And are not named team JNRR. 😆❤️‍🔥

- The plot too is moving forward. Picking up pace. "What's your favourite fairytale?"

- Much respect for the people who watched RWBY as it came out. I could not have waited to learn what happened next without losing my mind.

(You spoil me, I become Yang and punch you into tomorrow. A presto!)

Something else about Semblances I find interesting:

Qrow Branwen's Semblance manifests in ways that bring misfortune to the people around him, but basically always works out to his advantage. As such, he came to believe his Semblance was a Bad Luck Charm, blaming himself for every horrible thing that happens to the people around him.

Clover Ebi's Semblance brings him good fortune, sometimes at the expense of the people around him. But he instead let himself get careless, because his Semblance would basically ensure that every roll of the dice would be in his favor. So he thinks his Semblance is a Good Luck Charm that will always make the odds turn up in his favor.

They both have the same basic superpower, but interpreted it in WILDLY different ways due to Qrow growing up in an abusive environment (where his Semblance would've hurt his abusers enough for them to drill it into his skull that he's nothing but trouble) while Clover grew up in a position of privilege (where his Semblance would mostly just hurt people he views as beneath him in his climb to the top).

This ultimately gets Clover KILLED when he puts himself in a situation where luck can't save him (ordered to arrest Qrow by Ironwood, ignoring the escaped serial killer to focus on that order, and also threatening to deny an unconscious ally medical care if Qrow doesn't surrender, resulting in Qrow being FORCED to accept the serial killer's offer of an alliance if he wants to survive), whereas Qrow ends up discovering his Semblance isn't a curse when his Semblance saves the day (stopping an armed nuke from falling out of an aircraft a spiteful police officer had hijacked as part of the world's second deadliest temper tantrum).

First off, love the phrase "The world's second deadliest temper tantrum"

Secondly, I actually fucking adore this because just fuckin. Yeah the. The entire thing of same power different perspective.

Qrow: ugh…

Ozpin: what is it, my friend?

Qrow: nothing. I just don’t want to be here around a bunch of pretentious assholes.

Ozpin: I’d keep your voice down if you swear. No offense.

Qrow: no, you’re right…

Ozpin: …!

Qrow: ?

Ozpin: heads up, my lovely “friend” is coming over.

[ Ozpin straightens himself up, and puts on a smile, waving to Ironwood ]

Qrow: [ ??? How the hell does he- ]

Ironwood: hello there Ozpin, how are you

[ the two men shake hands ]

Ozpin: I’m quite alright, a bit tired from traveling but I knew you’d want me to come anyways.

[ Ironwood laughs ]

Ironwood: you know me so well. I hope you’re enjoying yourself.

Ozpin: I am, thank you.

Ironwood: anyways, who’s this?

[ he gestures to Qrow ]

Ozpin: ah, this is my bodyguard, Qrow.

[ a pang of emotional pain shoots through Qrow as he hears the lack of “friend” in that sentence ]

Ironwood: oh really? Shouldn’t he be in his pursuer uniform then?

[ ouch. Second pang of emotional pain ]

Ozpin: ah- well, I’m testing the system, we don’t have official uniforms yet.

Ironwood: that’s right, you guys are only just implementing the system. Well, be grateful, Qrow, you’re going to be part of something great.

[ Qrow nods quietly ]

Ozpin: and this pursuer is…?

Ironwood: Ah yes! This is Winter! My personal Pursuer and one of the best alongside Clover.

Ozpin: you… have names for them?

Ironwood: of course, they’re my personal pursuers, so they have the privilege of having a name. I kept their original names since I thought of them as fitting. Winter because she’s very cold and calculated, and Clover because he’s a good luck charm to me.

Ozpin: I see…

[ As the two men continue talking, Qrow’s eyes wander over to Winter, who is staring at him. He feels suddenly violently uncomfortable. ]

[ Ozpin notices. ]

Ozpin: Qrow. You may go get something to eat if you’d like.

Ironwood: ah that’s right haha, I forgot that they need to do that. Winter, you can go patrol, and feel free to do the same.

[ Winter nods ]

[ Qrow immediately books it to a quiet corner, he takes a sigh of relief. ]

???: Councilman Pine told you to go eat.

Qrow: !!!

[ he snaps his head around to see the blank expression of Winter. He sighs in annoyance. He can’t stand pursuers. ]

Qrow: He told me I could go eat “if I’d like.” Which means I have the option to do something else.

Winter: hm. I see. I am not familiar with being given an option.

Qrow: [ that’s really depressing. ]

Qrow: what do you want, really?

Winter: pursuers are not supposed to get attached.

Qrow: excuse me?

Winter: you are attached to Councilman Pine. We are not supposed to get attached. It’s against the rules.

Qrow: . . . Leave me alone.

Winter: you can’t deny the rules. Stop caring, you will end up hurt otherwise

[ “stop caring, you will end up hurt otherwise.” ]

[ maybe there’s a truth to that. ]

[ but he’d be damned if he got caught admitting that to a fucking pursuer ]

[ maybe he’d just have to speak her language. ]

Qrow: the rules are different between Atlas and Vale.

[ Winter’s eyes widen ever so slightly ]

Qrow: we’re allowed to care. And so hard I haven’t had any issues when I care a lot. I think it makes you more compassionate to whoever you’re helping. I think they help more than they hurt.

If you don’t care, then why continue to do your job?

[ She stands there silently. Qrow can feel a quiet anger seething off of her. ]

Winter: goodbye. Qrow.

pssh…show off

[yuli-the-bi]

It took me a while to recollect myself after today's chapter. After excitedly getting up super early (went to bed around 4am, woke up at 7) and waiting patiently for the episode to come out, I had such high hopes, y'know? (Warning: this gets a bit long.)

But that quickly ended in a punch to the gut that, honestly, left me speechless and with full-body tremors. I haven't had an anxiety attack in a while but it hit me hard and took me some time to calm down. I'm used to disappointment from series I watched in the past, but I sincerely did have faith in this one. V7 was what got me back into rwby, mainly because I had dropped it after skipping around the events of V5. I had noticed Qrow getting attention on this site, and went "sure, why not?" and checked the tag. This was when chapter 3 aired, and man, was everyone going wild over it-- for completely good reason. I've always been attached to Qrow as a character. I've had the lowest times in my life where I didn't think I would get back up, and here he was, the character that I saw parts of myself reflected in-- suddenly earning a potential partner that, for once, could balance his semblance and quite possibly everything else. We weren't wrong in the least in that regard.

Speaking from a narrative design point, the outer, cinematic dialogue for c12 was just... so wrong in many ways. It felt like characterization was thrown out the window, Tyrian aside. I've written countless scripts for games, and as a writer you are responsible for forming an immersive dialogue/monologue that will direct the audience into experiencing specific emotions. The lines here, while beautifully delivered by the amazing voice actors, gave me the feeling of two utter, complete strangers that were pitted against each other rather than two people who have been together for quite some time and have developed a bond. The words, especially from Clover, were visceral, cold, and almost robotic. Completely OOC actions aside, the tone set in the scenes were so unnatural it caused me to pause the video several times to digest what had been said.

It hurt to hear Clover of all people, the same man throughout the volume show his concern for ALL civilians, including Mantle (cue back to c9 where he was the one to panic about rushing the rwbyjnr + ace ops/qrow to Mantle to save the people, as well as his stern orders to prioritize the safety of the people), to suddenly become a callous soldier set in his ways. He turned his back on the people that depended on him, which seems to be a reoccurring theme in these past few episodes. That doesn't reflect the man I've seen, admired, and analyzed throughout the volume. This one today felt unnatural and lacked all empathy that he had once shown (literally just in c11 you can *hear* the relief and joy in his voice once he reports that they've apprehended Tyrian, the psycho who has been out on a killing spree and Clover explicitly expressed malice to). This episode just completely forgoes the warmth I've been hearing in his voice.

I'm angry, depressed, and quite frankly, so fucking annoyed at how this episode was handled, from the standpoint of a narrative design/script writer and a fan of the show since high school. There were so many other routes they could have taken, granted, that could have given us just as much angst/shock value without the cost of a character that was a major pillar of support for Qrow. There has been so much wonderful development throughout the volume that sincerely gave me hope that it was going to be okay for him, and in turn, be okay for me and many other individuals who see themselves in Qrow's shoes. But that hope was demolished the moment I heard Clover speak so coldly, just barely showing reluctance he had so boldly delivered in previous chapters. I knew something was wrong, but didn't want to believe it. When I write dialogue for my scripts, I always envision myself as the character speaking, including gestures, facial expressions, and tone/pitch used to create a 'realistic' voice for them. I'm not one of the writers, but they demonstrated a very transparent purpose of closing off the possibilities of character growth with just those few lines. The intention was there. It probably has been from the start. And that isn't okay.

Not when there has been, admittedly, so many scenes where it touched upon gentler, more open emotions like trust, which is supposed to be such a huge factor in this volume. It was used horribly in this chapter, as it was meant to twist Clover's words, making it seem as though Qrow was completely in the wrong when we all fucking know it's two sides of the same coin. Not one side is completely right or wrong. "I wanted to trust you too" really hit me in all the wrong places. It crushed the hope for their bond, and all for what? Dramatic flair? If that's the case, then it was a real poor stylistic choice. Qrow was spot on when he said Clover was being manipulative-- because those words, while they sounded as if they were filled with pain, were all transparent in terms of closing off any more development between them. All these lines served one purpose, and that was to stamp out whatever had been blooming underneath all their previous interactions. Very melodramatic, I've seen about a thousand of these used, and none of them ever get me to react the way the writer intended for. It just left the worst taste in my mouth. (And don't even get me started on that ending. It might've appeased whatever audience they were going for, but bluntly put I've seen commercials that delivered stronger emotional impact than that. It clearly shows even more how Clover is distanced from Qrow in that regard. The "Good luck" at the end is a call back sure but the words exchanged really just... left me feeling so empty rather than a heart full of emotions. I only started crying once I heard Qrow's anguished scream and saw the light fade from Clover's eyes.)

I've seen all the wonderful AUs and fix-it scenarios that many of you have been posting and I really appreciate all your positivity through this horrible misstep in show production. (Thank you to those who are liking and reblogging my fair game comic I made a while back.) This has hurt me so badly that I know I probably won't open up and trust shows like this for quite some time, if ever. I'm skeptical about any changes that might occur in the finale, but I'll be looking at it with cold indifference nonetheless. I'll probably take a break from the series again afterward, but will definitely continue basking in the absolute joy of the fair game community and ignoring... whatever the hell that was. (I actually have some WIPs for fics saved that I might work on and publish once I get time off work). I'm sorry for my rambling and that it might not make much sense, but I had to voice my thoughts on the situation today. It is not okay by any means, and everyone who is upset by this is valid.

[drenosa]

Once more, time passes

Qrow: *Arriving with Winter at the ground current residence* ... and that's why you knock before entering the kids' place. I really didn't need to know Pinky and Twinky are enthusiastic practitioners of the [Kama Sutra]. I didn't need to know Thief Girl is 100% a service bottom to both them. And I definitely didn't need to see my own niece face-down-ass-up with the Cat Girl locked on her lips!

Winter: *Equal parts intrigued and repulsed by the stories of Weiss' friends* How charming?

Qrow: *Snorts a laugh* Yeah sure, that's one way of putting it. Seriously though, I might have done some questionably freaky-deeky things when I was their age, but the runts are rutting more than a college frathouse with free booze.

Winter: *No longer intrigued* That's just crass. You're talking about your niece and her friends. My sister's friends!

Qrow: That I am, and I'm calling them for what they are, a bunch of young adult hormonal little fu- *Sees Ruby sitting on a bench outside the house* -uuu... huh? Heya Squirt. Why you waiting out here?

Ruby: *Tired monotone* Oh, hey Uncle Qrow. Being inside was just a bit much.

Qrow: *Cringing* Do I want to know?

Ruby: Know what? That all my friends and my mortal enemy have been having sex, are still having sex, and are going to continue having sex for as long as their stamina, Aura and Semblances last? That the noise is ringing in my ears like the lewdest, nastiest tinnitus imaginable? Or the smell? Oh gods... the smell!

Winter: Excuse me, but what was that about your enemy?

Ruby: Huh? Oh, yeah. Cinder's on our side now.

Qrow: The fuck happened?!

Ruby: Correct... the fuck happened.

Winter: That... that is quite the development.

Ruby: Sure, sure. Whatever.

Winter: And what about the relic?

Ruby: Oh yeah, that thing. Here. *Reaches under the bench, tosses the Relic of Destruction towards Qrow* You can do whatever with it.

Qrow: Gah! *Nearly fumbles catching it* Yeah, sure thing Kiddo. We ah... we'll take good care of it.

Ruby: Be honest with me now, you two.

Winter: About what?

Ruby: I haven't slept in 36 hours and I obviously can't get any rest in this sex-house. So are you two fucking?

Qrow&Winter: *Spluttering sounds of ineffectual denial*

Ruby: UUUUUUUUGH... I'm just gonna go find a hotel or something.

Cinder: *Holding the Relic of Destruction, doing her evil villain speech* ... and just like that, Vacuo will fall just like all the other kingdoms! And there'll be nothing and no-one who can stop me. No, goody two-shoed brats-

Ruby: *Sick of Cinder's shit* Rude.

Cinder: ... no destitute little princesses-

Weiss: *Sick of Cinder's shit* Just shut your trap already.

Cinder: ... and certainly no sad excuses of a knight!

Jaune: *Definitely done with Cinder's shit* You really need new material.

Cinder: Speaking of pathetic knights. I see the tinned man picked up a helmet. What's wrong, wretch? Don't want your snot-smeared face to be seen by little old me?

Ruby: Jaune. Take of your helmet.

Jaune: Uh, you sure? The Atlas refugee moms were rough and the Vacuans weren't any better. Those married ones were a menace!

Weiss: Just do it.

Jaune: Well... alright then. *Begins taking off his helmet*

Cinder: *Mockingly* What, did the useless one among you have a little accident? Did children run to their mewling mommies to warn about... the... *Sees what's under the helmet* monster?

Jaune: *Grey streaked hair in an elegant tail, his well-groomed beard perfect in every aspect, an A-grade Arc Specimen* So...

Cinder: *Tosses the Relic to Ruby, flies towards Jaune* Mine, mine, mine!

Jaune: *Runs in a futile effort* Oh crap, it's worse than the married moms! *Gets caught* Gah!

Cinder: *Already naked and on top of Jaune* MINE!

Ruby: *Catches Relic* Ha! Mission accomplished. I knew it would work!

Weiss: So you don't feel bad? Like at all, about what Jaune's being subjected to now?

Ruby: *Looks over to where Cinder's wrestling Jaune* Nah, I can go subdue her in a min- *Sees the progress of the match* an hour or so, and we'll be fine.

Weiss: *Watches on with morbid interest, realizing that she's fine with an hour* We are terrible people.

[etruatcaelum]

Summer breathes out a laugh, self-deprecating. “I did the same,” she admits. “Saw the light and booked it to the tower, I mean. I–”

She’d been closer than he was. Dressed down to blend in with the crowd, sitting near an exit high in the stadium, ready. Beacon was Ozpin’s fortress, the seat of his power, and Salem wanted to make good and sure her first move knocked him down. It wouldn’t come without cost—they knew that—accepted that. Their plan had little room to spare for mercy.

But staying calm and authoritative in a crisis could give one person a lot of power. Summer knew the way to the emergency corridor, had walked it enough times to follow it in her sleep, and she was forewarned, and when the grimm siren began to wail, she’d been the first out of her seat and giving instructions at the top of her lungs. Panicked faces swung to her like flowers turning to the sun; desperate for someone who knew what to do.

While the rest of the stadium erupted in pandemonium, she’d kept her section from boiling over. Gotten people out faster and safer than a stampede. No one died in an out-of-control rush for her exit. It was something.

“…Knocking out the CCTS wasn’t part of the plan,” she says, sort of feebly. Arthur had been pissed; Salem had cooked up those seers in record time. “So I knew something had gone really wrong; and when I realized Ruby was up there too—” It fell like a second hammer blow. “My first thought was thank fuck Qrow’s here. I knew you’d be looking out for her.” Summer pauses, kicks a bit of sand in his direction. “Bad luck charm notwithstanding, birdbrain. Yang probably doesn’t remember this ’cause she was like, three, but I told her once that Uncle Qrow’s semblance makes him a little accident prone, so that's why we bring out the plastic cups when he comes over. Not what I’d call the stuff of ruined childhoods.”

Qrow gets that. Not like his social circle has been that wide, the last 14 years. Hell for a few years it was almostly exclusively Tai and the kids, and then long bouts of seclusion while he went on missions for Ozpin.

He really doesn't like to think about those years.

"We're a lot to get used to again," he offers gruffly, although not unkindly, taking another sip of water from his flask. They were a bunch of weirdos at the best of times, never mind when your only company has been people who don't talk a lot. He got the feeling Salem didn't chat much, anyway, but hey, maybe he was wrong.

The thought that they only just missed each other that night is like a stab in the heart. Although brothers, he probably would have assumed he was seeing things from stress if he did see her. Summer Rose, alive? Crazy, right?

"Yeah, that was me. When I saw that silver it wasn't hard to figure out where she was." He'd been terrified for her safety at the time, that she'd hurt herself, that one of Salem's goons would have seen her and tried to take her. Apparently, one had thought about it. Qrow didn't know what he would have done, if he'd found her with Summer.

"I... really wanted her, both of them, to have a childhood. As much as we could give them. They deserved that much." They deserved better, than what their parents had had. "I didn't even tell them about my semblance until I had to."

Day 2: Only one bed/Fake Dating

Clover was starting to think this wasn’t a great idea anymore. Sure, it was an opportunity to get closer to the elder, but it was more a selfish reason, after all, who wouldn’t want to date Qrow Branwen?

He knew the man was only doing this just to get Raven, Tai, and Summer (namely Raven) off his back about being single. They were only worried, though he suspected it was also because the man really did want someone around.

His heart ached at the idea of Qrow being with someone else. He wouldn’t blame them though, for the man, despite being his late 30’s, was good looking and kind and funny and... and he was perfect. Despite his semblance being misfortune, Clover saw past that, and saw a man that just wanted to be around people.

Speaking of the man, Qrow grumbled as they walked outside. Raven had been insistent that not once has she seen Qrow give actual affection to Clover. Clover didn’t mind, holding hands and hugs were enough for him (tho he wouldn’t mind a kiss on the cheek or forehead.. or the lips-)

Clover must have been daydreaming pretty hard, cause then Qrow snapped his fingers in his face. “Oi, lucky charm, you listening to me?” Clover snapped out of his thoughts, “Huh? Sorry about that birdie, just.. thinking.” He smiled. Qrow’s face flushed.

“Well now you gotta pay attention to me-“ as if Clover hadn’t already, “cause now Rae wants to see us kiss.” Clover froze. No way. “I.. beg your pardon?” Qrow rolled his eyes.

He then placed his arms around Clover’s shoulders. “You heard me soldier boy, we’re gonna kiss just to get my sister off her back, so you better make this convin-“ Qrow hadn’t even gotten to finish before Clover dove in.

It caught him off guard, but he eased into it, Clover’s soft lips against his. It was nice. It felt nice to kiss Clover. It... felt nice being with the man he was head over heels for- wait. FUCK-

They pulled away from each other, both faces flushed. Raven grumbled, and they heard her walk away, but they had yet to pull away from each other. “That was... uh..” Qrow had no words. Clover smiled a little smile, “Wanna try again?” Qrow could only nod, and the smile became bigger. “Me too.”

Got a qrowin headcannon for you. After Winter and Qrow get together, Qrow likes to tag along with Winter in bird form. Mostly just sitting on her shoulder but sometimes flying on ahead to scout etc.. well one day Winter has to do an inspection of some new troops and there is Qrow sitting on Winter's shoulder. One of the new recruits works up the courage to ask what they are all thinking, "why do you have that bird on your shoulder?". Winter just pauses and reaches up to pat the crow on the head before saying "It's my good luck charm." Qrow would later admit he was so shocked and touched that he almost transformed back into a human right then and there. Its honestly one of the many moments that made him realize how much he loves Winter.

my fucking heart oh my god

through violet eyes

“Qrow’s disarmingly honest, and that’s my favorite kind of man.”

She digs the stubble. It’s the first thing she noticed, especially since it gives away the touch of rugged in contrast to that crisp Atlas suit. The loop-tie undershirt suggests some woodsy-ness, too. He’s got taste. 

Qrow stands on the edge of disaster most days. He could turn for better or worse with the right push. She sees his struggle, how hard he tries, and admires how he fights the good fight. She wants to support it, to push him the right direction. She’s seen so much corruption, it’s incredibly attractive to know how resilient Qrow’s conscience is. 

His dumb charm. It’s so genuine it instantly puts her at ease. The more he fucks up the more attractive it is. 10/10 would actively cause situations to throw him off just to watch how animated he gets, and to try and help him laugh at himself.

He listens. He listens. He listens. Robyn has spent so much of her life being underestimated and brushed off. When he steps back and gives her space and lets her go off and actually takes it in and then thoughtfully responds - even if it’s disagreeing - her heart grows three sizes. He makes her feel respected. He looks at her like she’s the person she wants to be.

He’s got a slimmer figure but still some lean meat where a man should have it, that’s called bisexual compromise, baby. Robyn really enjoys running her hands all over his physique. He can hold her and be held just as nicely.

Everyone has their fair share of bad luck. You could have made a bet on team BRNZ to beat JNPR in the Vytal festival. You might have even decided to take a thrilling bounty mission in Mistral at the request of Leonardo Lionheart! But, what if you were bad luck itself? What if... you could never be sure if someone's misfortune was your doing? This, is the story of Qrow Branwen, the man who idolized the Grimm Reaper, maybe because just like her, he was always destined to fight alone. Qrow never needed much more than a swig from his flask and the weight of Harbinger in his hand as he thrust himself into the many lonely battles that would be his career. Planning? Preparation? Hah, what use was all that when anything that could go wrong, would go wrong? Qrow could not even afford the luxury of having NO expectations, he always had to expect the WORST. When life was nothing more than a series of unfortunate events, all he could ever do was take a long sip, push back his hair, and fake a smile. Cheering Tai on from afar and watching his beloved nieces grow was one of the only thing keeping him going after Summer vanished and Raven ran away. So, seeing Yang in pain after losing her arm and Ruby starting a dangerous journey, Qrow makes the hardest decision he's ever made. To be around the ones he loves, even though it may bring them misfortune. Praying that he is strong enough to protect them from even worse things. "I guess you could call me a bad luck charm." -Qrow"

This is legit some of the best AA art in a long time and certainly one of the better bios in a while. Good job Uyalago.

Also hot damn Qrow you’re such a fucking Dante with your barely-held-together depression. 

I love you. Please don’t die.

[onewomancitadel]

What do you think of fairgame?

I actually chortled upon seeing this in my inbox, like Tom Nook.

You KNOW this is the one ship that would cause such a controversy, you're a real trickster!!!!! Yes, I was peripherally aware of the stuff that went down with this ship and the emotional fallout of it in the fandom.

I have a lot of thoughts about it, that people who like the ship probably wish to wilfully ignore. Stop reading here if it's turned up in the tags.

As I have elaborated before, I did make gesture to twisting of canon and not reading what the intentions of a story are. I don't think that Clover was ever meant to be a wilful love interest - I'm you, if you didn't suck is probably one of the worst set-ups, ever, for a romance. That was not remotely in question of canon and I'm honestly sort of shocked people wanted to twist the show to claim otherwise. It also doesn't share narrative beats like another canon ship, BB.

When Clover dies, it's meant to suggest that Qrow - poor Qrow, bad luck charm Qrow, last of his team Qrow, sad Qrow, drunk Qrow, Qrow nobody takes seriously - is the better person who tried to do the right thing, and Clover - worshipful of duty, like Qrow was - is the one who made the real error.

If one wishes to purely read narrative foiling as suggestive of romantic intentions, then one's version of romance is probably quite poor. I would not wish to cast aspersions on people who ship Qrow/Clover, but it's no accident that a majority of shippers were convinced it would be canon - I think there was some drama because fanart of it was drawn by a member of team CR/WBY, which led some people on? - and absolutely refused any other suggestion otherwise, and were extremely angry when it was not.

Let me quote myself:

I'm not interested in twisting canon to make a pet ship fit the canon, though. I do really enjoy thinking about what motivates creators and what seems genuinely likely, but there are ships in other fandoms where I'm like, yeah you're having a great time but you're setting yourself up for paining expecting that to be canon, and acting like it will definitely be canon is, again, setting yourself up for pain.

In some ways it's not just being led on by a story, though, but fundamentally refusing to read a story the way it's 'meant' to be read and trying to make it something else. I'm speaking really generally and broadly here because even for a ship game I don't want to cause a stir, but that is exactly the sort of viewer I'd never wish to be.

It's part of that canon-shipping and the legitimacy of a ship. I understand that approach - that's my approach - but if you read canon poorly, it's your fault.

I understand that there's a want for M/M ships - and I think something like Sun/Neptune could be good for the story - and that always makes the shipping conversation much more difficult, because it's possible to levy the accusations of, God forbid, queerbaiting, fridging, and irresponsibility of storytelling. But for the record, Qrow/Clover never could have ended happily (which is what I imagine people wanted, not a tragic romance) - not with the direction the Atlas arc took, even if Clover had survived - then you run into that other brick wall which is Ironwood's fall arc, which people also take issue with, and then it's like, WHAT SHOW ARE YOU FUCKING WATCHING???????

I'm sorry! This is the brutally honest shipping game! But it had been foreshadowed since V2!!!!! Lionheart of Haven had already betrayed Ozpin, and Ironwood was that experienced in real-time to see what it was like! How someone could become like that! How Ozpin had to endure that betrayal, again and again, and still think fondly of that person! He remembers every single person who has. (cf. misstrashchan for the astute observation on Lionheart and Ironwood).

Like, admit at a certain point you don't like R/WBY or you don't understand R/WBY's storytelling style if you take issue from bottom to top with Ironwood's fall plus the non-canon Qrow/Clover ship.

I think Qrow/Clover is a snoozefest and not remotely interesting as well, and Clover was a character made to be hated, only redeemed by Qrow's affection because, 'Yay, his Semblance can make my Semblance not suck!' It's like Ilia loving Blake made me love Blake more. I don't like Clover, and I don't like the idea that Qrow's perfect fit is because 'well, he makes me not broken', when I don't even think Qrow's Semblance is bad luck anyway... it's not a pleasant romance, it's not something that defies all things, it's something that makes Qrow accept a half-measure solution rather than his own internal spiritual resolve.

Clover's death is, yes, in service to Qrow's narrative - that's the point of a story - but ultimately it's not a tragic romance, and I feel sorry for the people who wanted it canon. They deserve a story that compels them and a story which they can read in the manner that they want, but R/WBY wasn't it in this respect. I also generally prefer feminine-driven ships, and for me R/WBY is very much a feminine-driven show, so my interest is also much less in this respect - Qrow is not a character I'm as invested in as, say, Cinder, or Ruby, but mostly in terms of what he services to the story. I think it's a lot that he does, for the record, and I really enjoy him as a character, but it's not like Qrow freeing the Relic of Choice is something that's going to happen in the story.

It's great that he's had his own reformation and he's begun to find himself, and I'd like to see him reunited with team STRQ, for the record.

So in essence:

I cannot cover the topic with enough breadth, and I'm sure somebody will take issue with what I've said here. I think Qrow/Clover isn't an interesting ship, it was never set up as canon and no, I really didn't read Clover as flirting with Qrow - I think that if they wanted to avoid that sort of thing in future, they should think about the wink, though - but Clover being 'I'm you, if you didn't suck' is a sure way to put me off a ship.

Qrow/Clover also embodies a lot of issues in modern fandom: presumption, lack of narrative literacy, disliking a story being told because they got an idea of it in their head a couple of years ago, etc.

The issue with these sorts of ships, they make the conversation of 'what sort of stories do you want to tell about M/M ships?' harder. (Plus, it's hard when representation and shipping intersect).

Because there's probably argument that a tragic romance between Qrow/Clover might've even been possible, that would have probably been construed as inappropriate too. It's a really difficult question with lots of different answers, and quite honestly it's not a conversation I personally want to have, nor do I really want to speak on that element anymore.

Thank you for humouring me, and apologies about the formatting. That was a close one, I nearly lost the whole post and had to repost then fix it up.

Interdimensional Moms: part 1

Intro <-

Yang:So how we doin this? Drawing straws or... well we actually don’t have straws here so-

Weiss:It’s obvious that you wanna go first.

Blake:Extremely obvious.

Ruby:All over your face.

Yang:Hey now, don’t call me out like that! We all have so much to sort out here. I don’t even know where to begin. Differences could start and stop anywhere for all we really know.

Blake:From what it seems, Beacon itself would have one or two minor changes, but the real changes start after the fall. At least, for you three that is.

Weiss:You saying you’re different?

Blake:Unless you three started going on dates with Jaune at Beacon, then yes, I’m different.

RWY:(They’ve been together that long!?)

Yang:Okay, starting from Beacon...nothing really stands out too much. Jaune and I were just friends. *cringes* Back then, a certain faunus caught my eye.

Blake:Ah...right. I guess that tracks in practically every universe.

RW:Oh yeah it does. You two are joined at the hip.

Yang:Haha, really? Glad to hear it. My Blake and I are best buds! Remnant has never seen such a dynamic duo! Can’t say it didn’t take a lot of time effort after a rough patch. We actually dated in my world.

Blake:Same.

Yang:What!? How long?

Blake:I don’t know, it was pretty on again off again.

Yang:Well for me it was after Haven. Both of us had gotten pretty serious. All the growing we’ve done together and apart had brought us closer. However, Adam unintentionally put a wedge between us. His attempt to change and the problems that came with it were-

Yang stopped midway and saw the confused faces of her otherworldly teammates. They were shocked, confused even. Especially Blake, who looked the most shocked of all.

Yang:Umm did I say something odd?

Blake:Adam, he...isn’t dead?

Yang:Oh, well I guess that’s the start of the major changes then. Blake and I fought Adam at Argus. Stabbed him through the chest and watched him fall down rocks into a river.

Ruby:That lines you with my world. Dude died that day. Like any normal person should.

Yang:Well Adam is anything but fucking normal. Man has the craziest luck. A young women, the winter maiden in fact, she saved his life. She’s not exactly normal either. The maiden, Jacquelyn, ended up sticking by him to see if she could change his ways. This naturally meant we’d run into them again. And that’s how things fell apart.

Blake:What do you mean?

Yang:You were fully committed to seeing if Adam could actually change. I wasn’t, so we constantly butted heads in any situation involving him. Then we would fight about things that had nothing to do with at all. Eventually, we broke it off. We remained on decent terms but I was pretty heartbroken about the disconnect. Enter our lovable blonde idiot. Jaune did everything in his power to cheer me up.

Weiss:Sounds like him. Always such a bleeding heart. That boy just can’t help himself. Let me guess, his kindness and concern made you feel all warm and fuzzy?

Yang:Hehe, guilty. It was more of his willingness to laugh at my puns. Jaune’s always been interesting to talk to. He tries to act cool and calm even though he’s terrible at it, then comes clean right after. Before I knew it I was telling him things I hadn’t talked about with people before. I could tell he looked at me like most guys do, but also genuinely wanted to listen to me. Talk about playing unfair; he got defenseless. Suddenly I was smiling again. Anytime with him was time well spent. Then one day, I kissed him.

Ruby:Happily ever after?

Yang:Not even close! Hahaha!

Weiss:Why do you sound proud?

Yang:It’s funny looking back at it to a certain degree. Gods, I was such a brat. More than a few fights are on me. Between Blake, Raven, and other experiences, my insecurities flared up in ugly ways over nothing. It even got us to break up too. I was officially done with dating. My Ruby was out in an uncomfortable position.

Ruby:I bet! I’d never want you two fighting. Especially in my world. Picking between the person I love and my sister!? I don’t know what will happen.

Yang:I kinda do. *sets up* You’d start dating Jaune because you’ve looked at him since Beacon. The two of you would confide in each other and share a special kind of love, but it would be bittersweet. All because your sister still pines for him and never met to make him leave, and Jaune never says it, but he hates how things fell apart. He’s faithful to you and would never do you wrong, a guy to truly cherish. So... you let him go. Watch him walk back to your sister like you asked, because my happiness was worth that much to you.

Ruby:....

Yang: In my world at least. Honestly it’s still the most amazing thing I’ve seen you do. We must’ve cried over that conversation for hours. I felt so guilty and you only smiled, hugging me tight. Jaune and I had a few more stumbles. Nothing serious though. Eventually we moved in together when the world was saved. You and Oscar got together officially which made me happy. Even made our weddings a competition of who’d make dad bawl his eyes out the most. You won by the way; Raven came back into our family and into dad’s arms. Last but not least I had a baby. Yujin Xiao Long, my fucking pride and joy from above.

Weiss:Wow, that’s a lot.

Blake:What am I doing? Did I marry Sun?

Yang:Yep. You and blondes Blake, I tell ya.

Weiss:Hold the phone! Who am I with!?

Yang:Pretty sure you’re technically single. Buuuut, Neo and your have gotten pretty friendly from what I managed to interrogate out of you.

Weiss:That’s, highly unexpected. For a number of reasons.

Yang:Better believe it. Besides Cinder, a few crazies, and Salem, a few people made something of themselves. Dying sucks after all.

Ruby:You have a dead Cinder?

WBY: You don’t?

Ruby:*crosses arms* Hmph, I’ll wait my turn. Yang, you said you’re the only mother from our team. If Blake and I have been married for quite some time then what, we don’t want kids?

The joyful sunshine from Yang slipped into grayer skies. Her smile faded and it increasingly got harder to look at this Ruby without thinking of her own.

Yang:Are you sure that’s something you wanna know? I’ll tell you, but I didn’t want to bring down the mood with the problems where I from.

Blake:Problems? How big of a problem.

Yang:The biggest we’ve faced. It’s...a lot.

Ruby:Well we’ve listened this far. *takes hand* Lay it on us.

Yang:Pfft, oh boy. So...umm...another secret war came up. One that caused us to leave our friends and family for over a decade.

Weiss:A decade!?

Blake:What gets worse after Salem!? Who tries anything after a grimm queen!?

Yang:So a majority of Remnant was still unaware of her, but a fight like that can only be kept under wraps so tightly. Plenty of people still learned fractions of the truth. A few of those people weren’t exactly nice guys. They idolized her efforts and became her followers that wanted to keep her will alive, starting with taking revenge on the people who defeated her. We were so unaware. So caught up in normalcy. They ambushed us, and I mean everyone. We...we didn’t come out unscathed. Ren was crippled badly. Weiss, you almost your brother. Jaune’s family got hit but thankfully lived. The real casualties were aimed to hurt Ruby.

Ruby:Oh, of course. S-So, either you’re about to say I had no time to start a family, or...

Yang:...

Yang:When I tell you the look you made when you learned what happened to Oscar, to Qrow... that’s the moment it felt like my little sister left forever. Till this day you don’t smile like you used to. Very recently, now that it’s finally over, you’ve started looking better, but those ten years were hell. We choose to go out and fight again, avoiding contact with family. I haven’t had a real opportunity to be in my daughters life.

Ruby:How old is she?

Yang:Sixteen soon. Left her when she was four so you know. *tearing up* I missed everything. Just about anyways. Ironically it was Raven and Adam that helped her through the years with Jaune and Dad. Eventually we came back and ooohh boy was Yujin not thrilled in the slightest. Hehehe. Her right hook is really strong. I only had about a week with her before things got complicated again. *wipes eyes* But it’s okay. We left on good term. Something I definitely don’t feel like I deserve.

Blake:I can’t believe a thing like that would be possible.

Yang:Cults are a huge problem in Remnant now. You’re definitely aware of that. You actually oversee a little group from the shadows to deal with them in secret. An idea you got from experience. Adam works for you and everything. Hate to admit, but he’s become the guy you wanted him to be. Even has a family. I’m grateful to him. He personally kept my girl safe.

Blake:To think I’d hear you say that. Now I know this isn’t my world.

Yang:Don’t get me wrong, I still will hit him if given the chance. My life hasn’t been charmed and sacrifices too great were happening way too many times but it finally has gotten to a point where everyone feels like we’re taking steps towards a better future.

Weiss:Moving forward?

Yang:Yes, I was trying to avoid the phrase but yes Weiss, we’re moving forward. Still... *looks at Ruby*....

Ruby:W-What?

Yang:It’s unreal seeing you like this. My Ruby has become so strong and endured but hasn’t really picked herself up completely. All her tragedy stemmed from the loss of Oscar and Qrow; her last talk with Oscar was fight about kids too. That’s the entire reason she went off alone in the first place. Looking at you I can’t help but question my own choices. If...I just let her stay with Jaune, then maybe-

Ruby:Nope.

Yang:Huh?

Ruby:Look, if I know anything about your world, then it’s gonna be me and I can tell you without a doubt your Ruby doesn’t blame or would consider her own happiness without you. She loved you enough to take the chance to find love again. You really think there’s anything you could’ve done differently at that point. That girl is as stubborn as they come! *smiles* So buck up cowgirl. You deserve it.

A sense of warmth came over Yang as she heard those words. This other Ruby smiled at her with the same love as her own; completely caring about Yang’s feeling before her own. Yang felt so...unburdened. She couldn’t help but cry a little, laughing softly as she did. Who would’ve thought love could transcend worlds? It was so vindicating, therapeutic even.

Yang:Ruby, you’re something else entirely, you know that?

Ruby:It’s my curse. All I ever wanted was normal knees but the world said “no, special eyes!”

Yang:Well I guess I should thank the world then?

Weiss:You said your Ruby is getting better? That’s good. Still, it must be pretty weird looking at Jaune. Can’t imagine how lonely it must feel losing a love twice.

Blake:It never numbs.

Yang:Geez you two, lighten up. We can’t all be depressed. Ruby also didn’t lose Jaune. Actually....there may or may not have been an interesting...arrangement for a brief period of time.

Ruby:Ehhh what?

Yang:Hehehe well, hahaha, ummmm a decade is a very long time without feeling any kind of pleasure in a bleak situation. And you know me, I have to share things with you all my life.

Ruby:OH MY GOD!!!

Blake:*grinning* Yooooo! You loaned out Jaune!?

Weiss:That’s....accurate; in a lot of ways.

Ruby:That’s so scandalous! How could you!?

Yang:I didn’t force it! I gave the option, you said no, then you changed your mind because things got real stressful. Like come on, a decade of death and loneliness.

Ruby:Sigh...yeah. I can see it. Still, it’s so filthy. He’s a married man. What, so I’d just look at you and say “Yang I’m gonna sleep with Jaune, don’t come in the room.”

Yang:....

Ruby:What?

Yang:....Nothing.

Ruby:Bullshit! What is it!?

Yang:*scratches head* Well, I was lonely too, and a week is only so long-

Weiss:Oh so it was a group thing!!?

Ruby:WHAT!?

Yang:Only sometimes!

Ruby:SOMETIMES!?

Blake:HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! THAT IS AMAZING!

Ruby:Why are you laughing!?

Blake:Because that’s just so extreme, and not, all at the same time. I could totally see that happening.

Weiss:Same. Dang, Jaune slept with sisters. That’s dangerously close to being like your dad.

Ruby:That’s different!

Blake:Is it though?

Yang:Eh, I don’t see the problem. We’re all grown and make choices. Plus I’m the one who guided you through awkward teenage changes. It not like we didn’t share a room for years.

Ruby:That doesn’t make it okay.

Yang:Eh debatable.

Ruby:*red* It isn’t though! How could I do something so bold!? So taboo!?

Weiss:It isn’t like you’re the one who did it. Just a version of you.

Ruby:Not better!

Yang:Awwww it’s okay Ruby. Let’s hug it out. Hehehe *opens arms*

Ruby:Don’t touch me!

Weiss and Blake laugh until their sides hurt as Ruby tries escaping the bear hug that terrorized her. Yang’s world found interesting for sure. Weiss finally decides to help Ruby out.

Weiss:Got a picture of Yujin?

Yang’s eyes lit up and pulled out her scroll. Her team huddled around her and collectively cooed like that parents they are at the sight of a blonde young girl with gorgeous blue eyes with a black combat school graduation cap and gown and a certificate proudly raised up high. If it wasn’t for those eyes and shoulders length hair, they might’ve mistaken her for Yang.

Yang:She’s going to Beacon early because she’s fucking awesome like her mom.

Ruby:I think you mean her aunt?

Yang:I know what I said.

Weiss:I bet she’s just as hardheaded.

Blake:What do you think your kid is up to right now?

Yang: Well...*smiles*

xxxx

The girl in question sat at a work bench with oil on her face and her hands busy tinkering with gauntlets. She looked over at blueprints in a journal. If they were right, then she was definitely doing something wrong. How her mother made something so complex was crazy!

Yujin:Come on Yujin. You can fix a car, making gauntlets into a sword that don’t break should be easy!

Footsteps came up from behind her and a plate stacked with sandwiches. She looked up and smiled at her dad that gave her a wink, then kissed her forehead.

Jaune:Haveing fun, you grease monkey.

Yujin:Jokes on you, I like monkeys. Just a few more attempts and I’ll have the coolest weapon in Remnant. That entrance exam is as good as aced.

Jaune:Not if you don’t have a landing strategy. Tomorrow we’re going on a trip.

Yujin:Does it happen to be near a cliff?

Jaune:Who can say? Rule one of being a huntsman, be prepared for everything.

He ruffled her hair and left, laughing evilly. Yujin could tell he’s been waiting for this day. She pulled out her scroll and searched through a collection of videos labeled “mom” and found a super early one. She hit play and watched her mother give a peace sign to the camera as trees increasingly got closer from below.

Yang:Beacon rules!!!! Wooohooo!

The camera flipped and focused on a familiar blonde flailing through the air like a doll in the distance.

Yang:Oof, hate to be that guy! Wait, that’s vomit boy! Hahah, hope he survives. He owes me shoes. Poor dude. I guess he needs more training in flirting and landing. Wait, eugh I think he barfed again! Hahaha!

Jaune:Stop watching that one!!!!

Yujin:Hahaha but it’s the best one. The ending is priceless.

Jaune: *walks back down*
