I'm so serious rn. I cannot wait for volume 10. My only wants are that Ruby gets family hugs with Qrow and Yang. Big ol family hug time. And the Ruby and Raven confrontation to be ◇spicy◇ and filled with ~tension~ Like Ruby better be borderline aggressive about this. If these do not happen I don't want it! *obviously jk I want it no matter what. If I don't get volume 10 soon I will perish*

an underappreciated qrow fact is whenever he sees one of his nieces sitting alone and feeling down, he activates his Supportive Uncle Mode™.

he's also pretty darn good at it, too.

I have a headcanon that 'Branwen' is not Raven and Qrow's surname from birth, nor was the name of their tribe at the time. When the tribe got their hands on the documents and decided to send the twins to Beacon, they needed to give themselves a surname. The one they were born with was long forgotten by that point (hell, they were too young to remember what their given names were before the tribe took them).

Qrow, who already rebelled against the tribe by idolising The Reaper, suggested to Raven they take a name from a story. Raven agreed, and the two began searching through what few books they owned for inspiration. Eventually they settled on 'Branwen', the name of a warrior with a close association to corvids.

Ozpin knew from the moment he saw them that their surname was made-up. It came from a story he wrote, after all (and he already figured out they were from a bandit tribe because, well, they weren't exactly discreet enough to fool him).

But the name 'Branwen' is still theirs now, regardless of its origin. Qrow was named so because of his misfortune. Raven's name was given after Qrow's, because she was an afterthought. Their abusers gave them those names. But 'Branwen'? That was all the twins. That was their first taste of freedom.

Giving themselves a name.

Aight you want Rare Pairs? Death's WhiteRose. My ot3. Ruby/Weiss/Young Maria Calavera. I have people refuse to draw art of them because it's 'problematic' ignoring that it's almost always a Maria was born later au.

Maria gets two people who don't care about her name she can trust to watch her back (cause clearly silver eye warriors have to worry about salem trying to kill them so in that they can be united).

Ruby gets a slightly older S.eves mentor, Weiss gets people who care about her for her, and Whiterose get a more battle hardened battle bae who will teach them how to fight to survive.

Ruby and Maria are gremlins off the field and help Weiss relax as Weiss helps keep the two of them on track.

Weiss supports, and fights at range. Ruby can do either, but Maria is the close combat master between them.

Their songs are all counterpoints of each other (using Grimm Reaper as Maria's songs), they have complimentary colors, and Maria is absolutely the type to make them talk things out when the going gets tough.

Each of them is missing a parent, at least one rather, and they're all very very lonely people, and the idea of them finding companionship in each other is great.

If maria was young in canon I do have to admit I don't know if I'd ship Ruby with Weiss, or Maria more, but thankfully with fanfic I don't have to make such a choice.

I feel like this gets slept on because it's a m/f ship. I have no honest idea why people ship Robyn with winter instead because Qrow outside of Ruby and Yang is the only person to show interest in who Qrow is as a person.

Clover usually just ignored Qrow's semblance or feelings because he didn't HAVE to deal with the side effects of Qrow's semblance, but Robyn, did, and does.

She stays regardless. On the plane when Clover got up and was about to arrest Qrow, Robyn literally goes straight to the nuclear option of 'i will murder you if you try to arrest this man'.

She, and Qrow are both headstrong people, but Qrow has shown he's willing to listen to her, and she to him. She talked him down from wanting to murder Ironwood, he clearly values and listens to her.

She built him a monument to his niece, and they have complimentary fighting styles (she can fight out of range of his semblance ala Ruby in the Tyrian fight). They're both the sort of fighter who learns the same way.

When the chance to escape happens the first thing they do is make sure the other is alright.

Time, and time again she has had to deal with his semblance (hey plane crash, tyrian escaping, getting arrested and so on), and the bad luck it brings, and time and time again she has consistently chosen to be there for Qrow, and treat him like a person and not his semblance.

Imagine Qrow having a bad day, and then Robyn just gently takes his hand, and tells him he is more than his semblance, and he's a great person worth getting to know, and she's not leaving, and then her hands glow green.

Just god man, but not let's ship Robyn and Winter because it's two women who never interact but are both from Atlas. Gag me.

I have more, but eh flooding your ask enough as is.

Confession #110

[hiraganasakura]

[ID: Three images of pairs of sibling characters across various pieces of fiction. The first image shows Miles Edgeworth and Franziska von Karma from Ace Attorney, both smiling, but Edgeworth's is softer while Franziska's is more cocky. The second shows Qrow and Raven Branwen from RWBY, scowling at each other on opposite sides of a table. The third image shows Zuko and Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender, and whereas Zuko looks nervous, Azula looks calm and composed. End ID.]

If I had a nickel for every time I got strangely emotionally invested in a pair of fictional siblings that grew up in toxic environments; in which the brother struggles with self-esteem issues, unhealthy coping mechanisms, self-destructive trauma responses, and problems with how some unjust system or another is upheld; and the sister is very aggressive, violent, and perfectionistic, refers to her brother condescendingly to feel some degree of power over him, and hides what are likely self-esteem issues of her own behind masks of what she falsely perceives as "strength"; I'd have three nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened three times.

I miss my old men (Ozpin and Qrow)…

[almea]

Please, I just want to know who I need to fistfight to get volume 10 greenlit.

Especially because RAVEN, MY BELOVED. I am thriving on the knowledge that she really must have felt Something when Yang fell into the Ever After and she was the first one to know when they came back.

And I've gathered that it's a scrapped epilogue for volume 9 and having Raven portal them to Qrow, which was very "Raven portaling Yang and Weiss to Qrow in volume 5," without showing Raven portaling to RWBY and Jaune first is better for the Mood, but I will simply die if I don't get to see Yang's reaction to Raven showing her face in front of her. Like, you cannot rob me of this.
