Small Yang raising ruby vs rebellious phases

Homophobic Ruby strikes again

Bonus

Ruby’s listening to mcr and they aren’t telling her that’s really gay but they’re totally thinking it

[flightofaqrow]

I have had this blog for three years and still no Jaune and qrow bonding over trying to look like big damn heroes but really they're just giant dorks.

Ask

Crossover

Is it true that Mirio's first meeting with Fem!Qrow was her being drunk and flirting with him? How did she react when she sobered up and remembered that?

Mirio: *Embrassed* She indeed was drunk and flirted with me in our first meeting with each other.

X—xx—X

Qrowe:…fuck…

[littleblackqrow]

((Sometimes I wish I could draw bc Qrow at a wedding, tie tied around his forehead, jacket vest, and the top four buttons of his shirt undone, and definitely drunk dancing on point wont leave my head.

[drindrak-art]

It was a mistake – drunken horniness, on Qrow's part; fleeting sentimentality (but also some drunken horniness), on Salem's. Both were aware of who the other truly was, yet uncaring in the moment.

But their little mistake leads to something permanent; something Qrow never knew could happen.

And no. He's not talking about the marriage.

ok but ruby doesn't deserve to be carrying all of this weight like what-

Ruby next to Qrow lmao

[screechingfromthevoid]

I have such a bad feeling they're going to time into the next season and idk if I can do that.

Ren and Nora being older than the rest of them? Isolating them from their friends who were supposed to be their forever family?

Oscar catching up to them or surpassing them? Maybe not even being Oscar anymore? Unable to differentiate between oz and Oscar?

Qrow thinking he's lost his nieces forever? Essentially losing literally everyone he's ever been close to? No friends or family left, finally going insane?

[kinaesthetiqueer]

im very fond of qrow's role in this, by the way. he's doing what no one did for him when they lost summer.

[lovingdabeessss]

One of my favorite things about Rwby

Is this dynamic

Ruby Weiss and Blake all have world altering importance

And yangs just like a very determined older sister

Yang just wants her family all safe and happy and would happily die to ensure this

Yangs just like “this is my found family” and it’s like the most important people in the world

Not that this is at all new she’s just like surrounded by them her uncle is one of the best huntsmen alive despite being falling over drunk all the time considering he does all of ozpins missions personally and always by himself Ravens so good of a criminal she was on salems radar plus she’s MAGIC and can turn into a damn bird AND so yangs gif that in her I guess + the whole maiden thing summers super important somehow connected to salem as well ironwood who was the general for a WHILE was so close to qrow he might be her or rubys god father ozpin liked strq so much he gave two members magic so he might be a godfather too cause he seems to be really close to the family too

She’s like a magnet

And Yangs still just kinda there and she doesn’t consider any of these people like high and mighty or anything for being so important

She talks to ironwood super casually for the highest ranking military commander ever when he visits her after she becomes a criminal in v3 Qrows just her uncle when she speaks to Raven she’s totally ok with the idea of beating up her entire clan of criminals to get what she wants and then doesn’t respect a THING she says even after the reveal that MAGIC IS REAL and then when they Talk again after Raven joins salem, the bad guy and reveals she’s the MAIDEN which is super powerful yang insults her over and over with only one of her arms like she’s in no danger and then when she confronted ozpin/ Oscar about what Raven told her she gives him no special treatment for being a magical wizard that her entire family (minus Raven) trusts to make any decisions

Yang makes no exceptions no one is special yang would look the gods in the eyes and go “fuck off” and see nothing wrong with that

Yang & Ruby's Childhood

Oh how I wish, I wish that people would stop ignoring canon and pretending Yang & Ruby had functional adults who were good parents in their lives after Summer died. 

Because the fact of the matter is that they did not and canon has spelled this out again and again for the audience with increasing clarity every single time.

In Volume 2, Yang overtly states that Tai shut down following Summer’s to the point where his neglect became so pronounced a 5 and 3 year old who were grieving were left alone for hours and could disappear into a Grimm inhabited island looking for a different parental figure. 

Its re-established again in volume Five when Yang spells out to Weiss in no uncertain terms that after Summer disappeared, Yang, a five year old, was the one who needed to keep the family together and the trauma this inflicted on her alone is obvious. Let alone Ruby, because she was both being neglected and being raised by someone only two years her senior. Something Ruby fully acknowledges was the cast. 

There’s a multitude of other things I feel Tai has done wrong as both a teacher and a parent, but these one’s are undeniable, openly stated facets of the household. 

And Qrow doesn’t get an out by being the uncle either, oh no. 

Ruby makes it expressly clearly despite how much she loves and admires her Uncle she is very much used to him dropping back into her life shit faced drunk and being carted home by a stranger and needing to be taken care of. 

Again, by children! 

He has his reasons and his problems, but amazingly that doesn’t stop this from being a shitty way to grow up. No matter how much Tai & Qrow might love these two, they were not ‘great parents’, I wouldn’t even call them good. 

These two adults were negligent and damaging to the children under their care despite how much they may have loved them, and the fact that is ignored really burns me up inside.

Family

Ruby: F*** you!

Raven: F*** you!

Yang: F*** you!!

Raven: F*** you!!

Qrow: F*** you!!!

Jaune: Why are they screaming at each other?

Nora: I don’t know. Probably, because Raven abandoned them and is the worst mother ever.

Jaune: Isn’t that your mom then?

Nora: F*** you.

Jaune: Yep. Anyways… Yo!

RYBB: WHAT?!!!

Jaune: Can’t you all talk about this? You know like a family.

RYBB: f-

Jaune: Try me. Try me and see what happens. Understand, you all can be or are on my shit list. I already have my issues with my family. I already talked to Winter about hers. I will humble all of you. 

Raven: Look kid this has-

Jaune: It’s crazy how you know about family but abandoned your kin for a bunch of strangers.

Raven: … 

Jaune: It’s crazy how you’re your daughter's biggest stalker but just like one you can barely have a conversation with her.  And attempt to take her life the moment your views differ from one another.

Raven: … 

Jaune: It’s crazy how you risked your tribe, only to give the relic to your daughter, probably the only present you’ll ever give her out the years of her life. And what’s insane is you did all that because you didn’t want to deal with Salem even though she held your tribe hostage. Speaking of your tribe where are they now?

Raven: *silent*

Jaune: Sit you no leadership, die-hard shogun ass down.

Raven: *sit down*

Qrow: Well damn kid-

Jaune: Bitch I’m older than you now but even before that I was more man than you.

Qrow: Now hold-

Jaune: I will admit you showed up when Tyrian came. However, you want to know why I was pissed and made those assumptions?

Qrow: I mean I saved Ruby and your lives.

Jaune: Yeah. You were watching us from a distance. Good. But you were late. Which means when you were late we encountered Grimm. Now what could cause that?

Qrow: Um…

Jaune: You were drunk.

Qrow: Well-

Jaune: Back to the journey to Mistral and after you could have been more useful in almost every event.

Qrow: Woah kid I was-

Jaune: Dude when you couldn’t find any hunters, you didn’t even bother trying to help any of us improve. When we were trapped in a room with Salem's allies and your sister, your first thought was to stand around, do nothing, and find out.

Qrow: Okay b-

Jaune: Raven kicked your ass. Hazel punched your back out. And the only one you were protecting was Oscar. What happened to Ruby and Yang being your nieces? Speaking of Oscar didn’t you punch him in the face and never apologize for it?

Qrow: That was for Ozpin.

Jaune: In Oscar’s body, don't try to defend this. Suppose a huntsman saw that, would you not be arrested?

Qrow: Okay now that I think about it-

Jaune: Oh, and when Oscar went missing what the f*** were you doing? Getting drunk, again.

Qrow: I was having a hard time.

Jaune: Screw you.

Qrow: Well at least I didn’t endanger my friends.

Jaune: At least I didn’t get one of my friends killed. Like with Clover. Which I will say, great job in letting Tyrian escape. It’s crazy how even sober you are still an idiot. Also, you’re a fraud. Qrow: Well I-

Jaune: Like now there is no comparing us, I’ve been through more shit than you will ever imagine. And I wasn’t given a choice. You were. And that’s misfortunate. Your nieces almost died a couple of times and you weren’t there to help them. I was. God I’m starting to realize why your team is a mess and why, Tai, hates you. You are both a downer and a deadbeat. Pick a struggle.

Qrow: *silent and sits with Raven*

Jaune: *stares at Ruby and Yang*

Yang and Ruby: *sat down immediately*

Jaune: So what are you all going to do?

RYBB: Talk like a family.

Jaune: Good. Now you excuse me I need to write a letter to my mother who I am not on the best of terms, right now. Bye.

Nora: Jaune? Jaune, is there something you want to talk about? I’m openly available.

Jaune: F*** you too, Nora.

Qrow: How long was he on that island?

Ruby: Uncle Qrow, we had our first argument on that island.

Qrow: Oh… s***.

[tumblingxelian]

All right let's do this, I am probably gonna be blocked again for it but this irks me & so warrants a response, @strqyr

No one wants bad or inconsistent writing, that is in fact the opposite of what we want and why we want the story to address what its set up regarding the Rose-Xiao Long sisters and their broken home.

You ask for "resentment", which feels rather loaded as it basically says "Victims have to act this way to qualify as victims". For a more recognizable comparison, "She didn't get overtly angry when he sexually harassed her so she wasn't upset." Do you see why this is a problematic approach to the situating off the cuff?

Though if you want some examples, the fact Yang's first instinct upon arriving at Beacon was to slip away from Ruby & then to try and suggest Ruby be on another team while being overtly nervous. Each time followed with her falling back into a caretaker role for Ruby which she then continued. Well there you have it. Also the fact Tai takes Ruby to visit Summer's grave but not Yang.

Again, you are demanding resentment, performative outrage in order to justify trauma being "real" which feels unfair at best. I don't express my resentment at loved one's who traumatized me, because its unhelpful and stressful at the best of times and won't fix things.

What you should be looking for is the fact that they got a package from home and Yang views it as a means to cheer Ruby up while being indifferent to its presence herself.

Yang literally has brought this up:  I had to pick up the pieces. I had to keep things together. Alone.

Though if you are asking why she didn't bring it up to her dad when they were arguing, I imagine its again, because doing that doesn't help. Tai shouted insults at her for less and she only laughed when Oobleck dropped his cup and reminded her company was over.

You mean in the scene we didn't even get to see because it cut away? Plus, again, you keep demanding resentment like that's the only valid way to express having trauma. Its deeply wrong and unfair.

It should be enough that Yang felt shamed by the implication she is what kept Tai home & then when better (not really) she ended up taking on the caretaker role again while he stayed home to indicate that the family's dynamic is messed up.

As has been noted by @bestworstcase children raised by their parentified older siblings usually report a much nicer childhood than their siblings. We also know Tai sees Raven in Yang despite the traits he described not fitting her, and projects Summer onto Ruby, one he resented one he revered.

The fact you think Tai leaving a grieving 5 and 3 year old alone in the house long enough for Yang to pull Ruby in a cart for hours seeking a different parent qualifies as good parenting is confusing.

You do realize said memory could be from before Summer died right? & also that someone whose been traumatized doesn't have only sad moments right?

Yang also read Ruby bed time stories, and that is in the official actual show canon. Also trips to a boba place do not parenting make. Again, you demand victims have lived lives of only perpetual misery. & you presume excellence from frankly rather superficial examples of parenting that either don't align with canon or don't carry much weight. Hell, just look at the contrast in how Yang & Ruby view their visits to the Boba store, to Ruby its a magical memory from childhood, to Yang it was potentially stupid and insignificant.

In order for your take to be accurate, Yang ad Ruby have to be liars, given Yang's outright said she had to keep the family together and Ruby has openly stated that Yang raised her.

I see you discuss the writing and I want to draw you attention to something.

Neither Ruby or Yang express resentment about Qrow's drinking. When Qrow is introduced, his drinking is framed as part of his roguish charm. Its a funny quirk and a joke that he starts swigging booze in meetings, everything's fine, they're happy, this is a functional man, with a functional family dynamic with his nieces.

Then we get to Volume 5 and 6 and we see Ruby is very used to Qrow being dragged in blind drunk by strangers and needing to be taken care of. We see that Ruby and Yang are deeply unhappy with Qrow's drinking but also extremely familiar with it. This has been a problem all their lives, but it took three seasons from Qrow's introduction to actually highlight it as such.

Not to be blunt, but your read on Yang seems about as accurate as Tai calling the manifestation of her soul a temper tantrum. Despite the fact her Semblance does not gain power from anger, it just so happens being hurt tends to piss people off. As well as not understanding that she can hit her foes multiple times before she runs out of charge. You are also forgetting her feeling the need to apologize that she reminded Tai of her birth mother. She has complicated feelings on the subject to say the least.

She didn't frame it as being with them, it was in general, because his absence is confusing given Vale's been overrun and they explicitly don't know where he is and that is weird.

Said daughter upon waking up plied him for information, barely even let herself tear up around her uncle and then sought out her recently crippled sister for emotional support & guidance. Said daughter treats him as an afterthought in her letters, did not confide her plans or concerns in him and has explicitly referred to her sister as the one who raised her.

Tai being asleep at her bedside is nice and all, it also means the currently one armed Yang is in her room alone and as before, a gesture does not a parent make. Parenting is being there consistently which Tai very much is not. Especially given he just leaves Yang alone during panic attacks and his idea of helping is to try and get her "Back out there" and to insult her and outright withhold his support until she is "Done moping". His terms, his words, not mine.

No one said he didn't love them. Loving someone doesn't make you good at being a parent however.

I have already addressed these points. Frankly, the idea that all of STRQ and the previous generation have fucked up majorly and its TRWBY's generation who are fixing things and the elder one's who need to change is baked into the narrative themes. Tai cannot and should not be an exception to that and him grudgingly telling Yang a tiny fragment of information about Raven is not the same degree of character growth as Qrow's had.

Your stance that Tai is a solid, functional, generally good dad makes a liar out of our protagonists.

It props up a man who has done nothing but sit at home for the last five volumes while his children fought and died.

It protects a man who has been outright stated to have not kept his family together but needed his eldest daughter to do so.

Your take instead makes both his children into at best, over dramatic brats, and at worst, liars.

Because I again remind you:

Ruby: If you thought we wouldn’t come for you, then you must’ve forgotten who raised me.

genuine question: do people want bad, inconsistent writing? is that it? because that's the only way "taiyang is and always has been a horrible father and yang had to raise ruby all on her own and she resent him for it" makes any damn sense.

like. where's the resentment?

where is yang, while happy that ruby is one step closer to achieving her lifelong dream, feeling just slightly frustrated that she's once again sharing a room with her sister, when going to beacon was supposed to be a place just for her for at least two years without having to watch after ruby and feel guilty over it?

where's the resentment when tai sent zwei to the girls to be taken care of while he's away on a mission, placing that responsibility on yang again? why show yang instead being flippant about the whole ordeal, and shrugging it off like it's nothing, being ready to leave zwei alone in the dorm room for the week they're away because he has the absurd amount of food and a can opener tai provided them?

where's yang bringing up how she had to apparently grow up early because tai wasn't there, when she wanted to be treated like an adult?

where's the resentment when yang was about to leave home under the assumption it was her keeping her father from going after ruby, only to find out he isn't coming with her, once again leaving the responsibility of taking care of ruby on her shoulders?

because the show i watched, it doesn't exist. to even remotely get to that point you'd have to ignore ruby talking about their dad in a way that makes it clear he was present and raising them, you'd have to ignore yang having to wait for him to be out of the house to leave herself once again proving he was present and attentive of them, you'd have to ignore ruby's first happy memory being from that same time period (and with no corresponding sad memory to counter it), you'd have to ignore him reading them bedtime stories and taking them out for boba after school, making sure he's spending time with them even when he's busy with work.

you'd have to ignore that both yang and ruby have a good relationship with their father.

that is not to say tai doesn't have his flaws—every damn character in this show does—, but that's exactly what V4 is about. the rift that existed between yang and taiyang was his refusal to talk about raven and doing his best to prevent her from looking for her. that's it. just compare the difference in tone between yang's "oh, so now we can talk about her?" and "i don't know. some things you just need to be there for." and it's clear as a day where the resentment actually lies.

therein lies the core of the arc between yang and tai, and like many issues between characters in this show, it gets resolved: for the first time ever, he properly talks with yang about raven, and when yang is about to leave, he doesn't try to stop her like he has before; instead, he asks her where she's going, and gives information that might help make her journey easier.

if they intended there to be any lingering resentment from yang, 'boba' was not the way to do it. we know what yang's resentment looks like: anger, snappiness, the like. it's not quiet, almost somber.

they could have written yang treating tai's absence in vacuo as something she has come to expect from him, but they didn't; instead, she wonders why, because she can't fathom what could be more important for their father than being there, in vacuo, with them.

and that alone comes as validation for everyone who has wondered the same: why is tai staying in patch when everyone else is on the move? this is a character we're first properly introduced to as a father who has fallen asleep by his daughter's bedside waiting for her to wake up, a father who is almost brought to tears by relief that both of his daughters are back home and safe.

a father we last saw being absolutely desperate for his daughter to come back on screen when ruby's message cut short.

and beyond brings a sledgehammer and says yes, it is odd that taiyang hasn't left home to be by his daughters' side. wonder why that is, must be something important, wink wink ;)

and if you ask me, that sounds like a pretty damn good "long con", and damn good writing.
