Little Red Headcanons: Ruby the Teenage Silver Eyed Warrior

alittlesiren replied to your post “RWBY Musings #49: The Bandit and the Assassin. A Squiggle Meister’s...”

This was pretty good to read and think about. I knew I wasn't the only one who thought "Huh..." whenever I saw the Merc and Cinder interactions on Chibi. Honestly Cinder does seem like the type to use sex to manipulate and control someone.

Squiggles Answers:

I know right? It kinda does seem like something she could do. But then again, as I said, I’m not sure if RWBY will introduce those kinds of mature themes in the series. I know at NYCC RWBY + GEN:LOCK Panel, Barbara mentioned V6 introducing themes never explored before in RWBY. I know sex is a stretch and I wouldn’t exactly call it a theme exactly.

But perhaps it can be in the sense of certain characters coming into touch with their sexuality for the first time in the series or the characters understanding what love and attraction means from their own perspectives.

It’s been some time since we’ve had one of those more...I dunno, slice of life kind of episodes in RWBY where our heroes get to act like regular people learning to socialize, deal with feelings of intimacy and relationships rather than being huntsmen fighting against the forces of evil. The last time we got that was in V2 with the whole Ball episode.

With the team travelling for most of V6, I’m excited, not so much for the battles but more so for all those quite moments where characters can just have a real talk with each other. I’m one of the FNDM fam who actually enjoy when characters talk to each other. It’s a sign of characters bonding and two characters getting to understand each other is what makes me like them more in RWBY.

I know the endgame is the characters facing off against the forces of evil but....I hope we do get some more moments where our heroes can just be...well, kids and teens.

This is going to sound a little weird from me but in the case of Ruby Rose, I want to see how Ruby feels about herself. I know she’s confident in her skills as a fighter but…how does she see herself, physically…y’know as a girl…as a young woman growing into adulthood or whatnot. Is Ruby comfortable in her own skin or is there a part of her that secretly feels insecure about her looks especially when she starts to compare herself to the rest of her team.

Yang is constantly pursued for her beauty. The same can be said for Weiss and Blake practically has her own harem. But with Ruby; she is at that tender age where a girl’s appearance, how she values herself and how she measures herself as a woman is a theme I’ve never seen really done for her character before.

I want to know if Ruby thinks she’s beautiful. If she feels beautiful or is it something she’s never honestly considered about herself or tries not to think about too much because quite frankly she has other things to focus on like her huntsmen training, becoming a full-fledged Silver Eyed Warrior and combating Salem.

I just…want a moment or an episode where instead of being a huntress ---Ruby Rose can just be a teenage girl for a day and is allowed to act like one without the weight of all her other responsibilities looming over head.

How does she feel about boys or how does she feel about girls or anyone in particular? How does she feel about herself? About her looks. Is she confidant in herself as a woman or does she have insecurities about herself that is only bolstered by how she measures herself against other beautiful girls her sister and her teammates.

We got a tiny taste of that back in V2 with the ball episode. It showed me how Ruby felt about putting on a dress and wearing ‘lady-stilts’ and for the first time since the start of the show, it showed Ruby as just a regular girl who is uncomfortable with stuff like that but will do it anyways.

I want another episode like that for V6 or the Atlas Arc times one hundred. Especially now since Ruby was younger back in V2. She has matured a lot emotionally since her earlier Beacon Days so it’d be interesting to see how she feels about that kind of stuff presently at age 16.

Has she gotten better at walking in them lady stilts or does she still feel as awkward as ever? Is she still not a fancy, pantsy, dancey girl or just wouldn’t mind being one for a certain precious freckled farm boy?

It’d love for another dance themed episode where our heroes get some downtime to get dolled up, have fun and just dance the night away, y’know what I mean? I want it because I’d love to see a parallel where Oscar is standing awkwardly in the corner, afraid to dance and it’s Ruby to approach him and coach him on enjoying himself, like how Oz did for her back in V2.

Let’s say…Oscar discloses to Ruby that the main source of his nervousness is because he’s been building up the courage to ask a pretty girl he’s been eyeballing since the start of the night to dance with him.

Giggling, Ruby being Ruby gives Oscar some very Ozpin-like advice and advises him to just go for it as she’s confident that the girl he’s interested in will accept his offer. Oscar nervously complies. He decides to take Ruby’s advice and much to the Silver Eyed girl’s surprise, Oscar extends a very shaky yet courteous hand to her as he asked her to dance with him.

Though stunned by the gesture at first, Ruby’s shock melts into content as she accepts Oscar’s hand. The two smaller, more honest souls then exchange blushing smiles as they made their way onto the dance floor hand in hand.

I would really love something like this for V6 or another moment in the series. Just the kids being kids.

Ruby is the youngest member on an all-female team where ¾ of her squad are older beautiful girls who are more or less been the object of someone’s affection before. Like I said, Blake has had Adam, Sun and Illia desire to be with her before. Weiss has had Jaune, Neptune and Henri Marigold. Though no main suitors, it is noted that Yang has been catcalled by Junior and that one guy from the Branwen Tribe.

But…Ruby has never been the object of someone’s attention before. Unless it’s a sleazeball villain who saw her as an incessant adversary or a mentor character like Ozpin who saw her for the influence her persona had on other character, Ruby has never received attention for being a pretty girl. She’s never had a boy romantically interested in her. At least…until…

Enter the Precious Freckled Farm Boy from Mistral!

This is why I’m eyeballing Oscar so much because…I think Oscar will be the first guy Ruby will interact with that’ll actually like her for more than just being a huntress. I want to see how Ruby will react if she found out that a boy actually likes her. How would she react if she realized she might have a crush on someone?

How would she react when she realizes she might be falling in love with someone? These are questions I want answered. While everyone else is waiting for all the badass Grimm fights and for Ruby to unlock her Silver Eyes, I’m the squiggly weirdo who’s anticipating the ‘Ruby the Teenage Girl’ moments more than the ‘Ruby the Huntress’ moments. Sorry, not sorry.

But that’s just me. Anyways, thank you so much fellow RWBY fam. I’m glad you enjoyed reading through my musing!

alittlesiren replied to your post“BNHA Fandom: MOMO’S OUTFIT IS TOO SEXUALIZED!!!  Also BNHA Fandom:...”

Momo's outfit makes sense due to her quirk though...so idk fandom is weird and hypocritical at times.

lol no it doesnt

when i post this I didn't claim that Momo’s outfit wasn’t sexualised cause it is (like even the author made an outfit earlier on with none of the revealing details. The opening part was on her back, still letting her use her powers. There was no reason to make her outfit the way it is NOW other than fanservice)

What im doing is calling out the double standard of the fandom that only scream justice for sexualisation of girls  but still sexualise the boy characters. Both are wrong.

I hear you’re new around here too, Sergeant.

@alittlesiren-anon

Straight outta the 40s, ma’am. 

[stevebarnesrogers-anon]

You’re touring Italy! How exciting and beautiful is it? The oceans there are so breathtaking. You should go explore then if given the chance, Mr. Rogers! I’m Carley by the way! 🧜🏻‍♀️

@alittlesiren-anon

I am (we are)! It's gorgeous, we spent several days in Sorrento on the Amalfi coast and it's so nice we bought a vacation home there. The ocean is a glorious blue there, I can't wait to go back. Only a couple of days here in Florence, we came to see the art and now we're going to Venice. After that we'll go to Rome and then fly home but I doubt it'll be long before we're back.

Call me Steve. Nice to meet you, Carley. Hope you're having a great day wherever you are.

[stevebarnesrogers-anon]

I do post the occasional comment or picture, there's so much to see and do here that I'm not always the best at it. No ocean time today but we did get some quality pool time.

You’re touring Italy! How exciting and beautiful is it? The oceans there are so breathtaking. You should go explore then if given the chance, Mr. Rogers! I’m Carley by the way! 🧜🏻‍♀️

I honestly don’t think I’ve seen him with a camera but he’s tricky.  Just Italy this visit, who knows next time.
