《只为自己开的花》 A Flower That Blooms Only For Itself by Da Zhangwei, performed by Da Zhangwei and Penny Tai on Our Song Season 6 Episode 2.

Re-posting this, now with translated lyrics! (I started with a machine translation to have a base to work from, then went through line by line and fixed it with my middling Mandarin + multiple dictionaries. I in no way claim it's 100% accurate, but I think it's mostly ok.)

Sunny Side

Whitley:Ruby. Wake up. *shakes her*

Ruby:Mmm, where’s the fire? It’s like five in the morning.

Whitley:It’s strawberry season in Patch.

Ruby:I am aware….

Whitley:Let’s gets some fresh fruit in breakfast. You can sleep on the airship.

Ruby:Okay- wha?

[The airship]

Ruby, half awake:….*looks to the right*

Winter: *listening to music*

Sparrow:I bet I can fly this.

Penny:Sir, please sit down. I already have a co-pilot.

Oscar:That is- he is a literal retired soldier.

Jaune and Weiss:*reading*

Nick and Summer:Zzzz

Ruby:Uncle Qrow?

Qrow:*playing cards* Yeah?

Ruby:We married rich.

Qrow:Is that sinking in now?

Ruby:Little bit.

Nora:And we’re reaping the benefits.

Ren:Whitley just didn’t want to feel your anger about a breakfast trip.

Valerie:*writing* I’m not complaining. My book report wasn’t finished.

Ruby:…Baaaaabe?

Whitley:What’s up sleepyhead.

Ruby:Can we make a detour?

xxxxxxx

Bzzz bzzz b-

Yang:*grabs scroll* Uuuuggh. Where’s the fire?

Ruby:Look outside bitch.

Yang rolls out of bed and practically crawls to her window where Blake is staring to see a fancy airship hovering near her house.

Ruby:Grab your pants, wife, and child. We’re gonna make mom’s pancakes.

Yang:….Sure.

xxxxxx

Whitley:Welcome to the breakfast express.

Yang:You need less money.

Blake:I bought some honey, syrup, and spices my mom made.

Whitley:This is why you’re my favorite member.

Ruby and Weiss:Wow that’s craaazy.

Veronica casually walks on board in her pjs and heads straight towards the twins without a second thought. She picks up a sleepy Summer that leans on her brother and moves her one seat down, then sits down. She tugs Summer so she falls back in place, offering her own right arm as a substitute while resting her head on Nick before promptly going back to sleep.

Yang:…At least she was nice about it.

xxxxxx

Knock Knock Knock

Tai:*opens door* ….Strawberry picking?

Yang and Ruby:Hehe, yeah.

Tai:I’ll go grab your old baskets.

xxxxxxx

Nick was used to the rich life, but even had to admit it was pretty surreal to be at home in the cold one moment, then woken up a few hours later to put on a sunhat and pick some berries. Everyone this morning was just…cool with it. This was life right now. Singing early birds and strawberry baskets.

Nick:Wasn’t there school today?

Summer:Don’t be lame and keep picking. Gods it smells nice out here. I’m a little jealous we don’t come here more often.

Valerie:The sun has barely risen and yet it’s so warm.

Veronica:Country air smells different from the sea or city life. I visit Gramps occasionally and even I’m not used to it. It’s pretty jarring.

Summer:Kinda like waking up in a different plane seat.

Veronica:If that’s what you want to compare it too.

Summer:Don’t sweep that under the rug!!!

xxxxx

Ruby:Pancakes 🎶

Yang:Whoop whoop🎶

Weiss:Pancakes 🎶

Winter.Whoop Whoop🎶

Nora:Pancakes pancakes pancakes pancakes🎶

Ren:Buttermilk, Strawberry, shortcake, or tall!🎶

Jaune:You already know I’m eating them all!🎶

Qrow :Crack a few eggs and hash a few browns!🎶

Tai:Put em on my plate and I’m gonna chow down!🎶

Penny:Grab a plate and some friends to tag along…🎶

Everyone:Took making cooking fun with the breakfast song!🎶

All the kids slowly set the table as they watched the grown ups cut up fruit, flip pancakes, pour drinks, and butter pans.

Veronica:You’re not gonna sing?

Blake:There are enough people in that kitchen.

Oscar:Yeah satisfied fixing chairs.

Whitley:*sitting* Zzzz

Sparrow:This guy planned everything and now decides to sleep!? *pokes face*

Ruby:Leave him alone!

Sparrow:Did she even turn around?

Oscar:Did she really need to with you?

xxxxxx

It took about half an hour before the smell of breakfast was rich enough to wake Whitley just in time. Now it was his who was wide awake as she happily carried trays in hand alongside Yang, Weiss, and Penny; they happily danced side to side in messy aprons as they put food on the table for everyone. Nora would’ve joined if she could be trusted, and Winter was happily on Nora restraint duty.

Stacks of strawberry pancakes in the shape of roses and buttermilk pancakes in the form of the sun were presented with hash browns, eggs, sausage, biscuits, ham, the whole spread and additional goodies for everyone to eat. They took their seat and looked at Whitley as if he wanted to make some grand speech.

Whitley:*smiles* You waiting for an invitation? *raises glass* To a good day.

Everyone:To a good day!

Not a moment was wasted passing around plates. Whitley went to grab a fork when his empty plate was suddenly replaced with a full breakfast by Ruby. The lady quickly cut a piece of the pancake drizzled in cinnamon syrup and raised to his face to make him blush.

Ruby:Thank you for the trip. Now say aaah~

Whitley:I-In front of everyone?

Ruby:Don’t be shy now. It’s just for the first bite. It’s tradition here. Then you give me a bite.

Qrow:If your sister can do it, you can too.

Winter:*chews shamefully*

They look at Weiss to see her eat off of Jaune’s fork without hesitation. She even opens her mouth again to receive another bite before giggling. Meanwhile the likes of Penny, Nora, and Blake, treated this like an everyday occurrence. With a display like that, Whitley had no choice but to summon the courage to say “aah” and get fed a bite.

Ruby:How is it!?

Whitley:…I can go for another.

Btw, posting it to tumblr resulted in way lower audio quality. Watch the original on his weibo (along with his other two performances this episode) for better quality!

DZW and Penny Tai performing his single 只为自己开的花 on Our Song S6. I love them both so much and they’re so great together! 😭

Tai helping his daughter in his own way-

Comic commission for @/Ulterfr on Twitter ! He's serving the Nuts and Dolts ideas, I always love to work on them ♥

Write that Down! Write that Down!

Tai Rose-Arc(blond-haired with red streaks, looking at his older sister): Pyr, are you sure you know how to set up a tent?

Mash Rose-Arc(pinkish blonde-haired, sweat-dropping as Pyrrha turns to look at them): Yeah, you’re not exactly who comes to mind when we think of someone…“outdoorsy”…

Pyrrha Rose-Arc(rolling her silver eyes as their parents set up their own tent with their baby sisters Penny and Summer): Oh please~!

Pyrrha(as she unpacks the materials for the tent): Just watch and take notes you two!

Pyrrha(looking down at the fabric before her as her siblings pull out a pair of binoculars and a notebook and pencil respectively): Um…

Pyrrha(grabbing the fabric): I just have to carefully…

Pyrrha(as she accidentally rips the fabric): Oh…

Tai(eyes going wide in awe): Customization!

Mash(quickly writing in her notebook): Genius!

Tai(as Pyrrha starts beating the materials with her spear in frustration): She’s tenderizing the ground!

Mash(eyes wide): Of course!

Tai(frantic as Pyrrha finds herself entangled in the materials and struggles to free herself): Write that down! WRITE THAT DOWN!!!

Mash(frantic): DON’T RUSH ME!!!

Penny(seeing her oldest sister thrash around like an angry worm): Is big sis okay?

Jaune(sighing as he finishes successfully pitching a tent): Unfortunately, she takes a bit more after your mother Pen…

Ruby(teary eyed as she finds herself in the same predicament with Summer struggling to free her): Jaaauuuune! I’m stuck again!

Thinking about RWBY as my hyperfixation wears off and I think, as with all fairy tales, there’s a moral, of course. And I think RWBY’s is this:

“You are who you choose to be.”

Blake chose not to be the monster.

Adam chose to be the monster.

Weiss chose not to be like her father.

Jacques chose to be a miserly weasel to the end.

Raven chose not to be a mother. Summer chose to be Yang’s mother. And Yang chose to be the mom Ruby couldn’t have.

Qrow chose to be a drunk and bitter.

Emerald chose to be a bad guy, but she also chose to leave that behind when confronted about it.

Ironwood chose to be a bad guy and doubled-down when confronted about it.

Penny chose to be more human than most and chose to die a hero.

Cinder chose to let her past define her and to lash out against the world.

Trivia chose to become Neopolitan and again chose to become someone else when she realized that wasn’t who she needed to be.

Ruby was forced to be the hero before she was ready but chose to be that hero even when given an out.

Ozma chose to be the white knight, believing himself to be the only one able to save the world.

Salem chose to be the witch, looking to destroy the world.

I think, truly, no one is beyond redemption if they truly want it and are willing to work for it. We’re all victims of circumstance, but we choose our paths and who we are. We can blame the world for our problems, but we should never let our problems define us. You choose who you want to be.

Guess what!

Remember how I said back here that I'm in the middle of a project to edit down Our Song episodes, fix the subtitles, and add annotations?

Well, I'm starting to post them! I've got Ep 1 up now and Ep 2 I need to adjust a few translations but then it's ready. Ep 3 and 4 I've got rough drafts of. The rest of the season (12 episodes in total) will take a while, since I haven't started editing them yet.

I also have help with translation now!! @artknifeandglue offered translation from Chinese in @fandomtrumpshate and will be doing song translations for me - since I'm mostly done with the first few episodes he'll just be doing some spot-checking of things I wasn't sure on, but beyond that he'll be doing full translations of many of the songs!

I'm hosting the videos on GDrive, because they'd probably get taken down from YouTube for copyright violation, and I also have copies of the annotations in docs in the same drive.

But! I am also posting the annotations - with links to the videos - on AO3!

So if you're actually interested, you can subscribe so you're notified when I post a new episode!

I'll post here, too, of course.

Below the cut I'm tagging everyone who expressed interest before - please let me know here if you'd like me to keep tagging you when I post future episodes (even if you're not tagged here, let me know if you want to be added!)

[marlo-noni]

There are already a bunch of clips up on Weibo from today's Our Song episode, and Liu Yuning and Penny Tai are just so great together! The song they sang is a bit too sweet for me, but every interaction between them is so lovely. (And kinda shippable!)

[skeletalheartattack]
