#pilot ruby

[anthurak]

So here's an odd little RWBY headcanon I've actually had for a while:

Obviously, Yang has been and always will be Team RWBY's designated driver. Whether on Bumblebee or any kind of car or truck, if Team RWBY is using any kind of land vehicle, Yang WILL be the one behind the wheel.

However, while Yang might be the designated driver, if/when Team RWBY gets their hands on an aircraft (or maybe spacecraft...) to use, I like the idea of Ruby being the team's PILOT.

Why exactly? A few reasons, most of them vibe-based.

Ruby's always been the most aerial-focused of her team when it comes to mobility, not counting Weiss's summon-mounts, so she feels like the one most comfortable moving in three-dimensions.

Also we have a bit of a precedent set for this with Maria, a fellow silver-eyed-warrior being the group's pilot in Volumes 6-8, so it could be fun to see Ruby follow in those footsteps. Not to mention there's a trope of ace-pilots having keen eyes, so Ruby's whole thing with her own Silver Eyes could symbolically play into that.

It also gives Ruby something to nice distinguish herself from Yang.

Finally I've always felt like if anyone on Team RWBY would be a mech-pilot, it would DEFINITELY be Ruby, so this is something of an offshoot of that.

Finally... I dunno, it just kind of fits Ruby, you know? Ruby pulling sick aerial maneuvers in an aircraft/spaceship/mecha, clearly having the time of her life...

...all while her teammates are holding on for dear life and/or using a barf-bag XD

Reporter: So last month, you and your sister accepted an award for Best Huntresses in Patch. Any comment on why you accepted it without pants?

Ruby: *Nervous laughing* Yeah well, a few years ago, before we even went to Beacon, Yang and I made a deal that if we ever won that award, we'd accept it with no pants.

Reporter: *turning to Weiss* Did you know that your wife was gonna run on stage with no pants on?

Weiss: *Rubbing her forehead* I didn't know what they were doing until I heard Ruby start unbuckling her belt.

thinking about the way sam’s behaviour changes when he’s possessed and during his addiction/relationship with ruby (which is analogous to possession), especially when dean isn’t around. he becomes aggressive and far more masculine. according to carol clover “female body almost always serves as a portal, susceptible to the infiltration of evil” and “portal possessed by a demonic influence often becomes increasingly masculine during this time, often to the point of toxic masculinity”. “toxic masculine behaviours are a sign of demonic possession, of the change that has taken place within the feminine portal due to the infernal invasion” (examples: regan of the exorcist (1973), linda of witchboard (1987) and arnie cunningham of christine (1983), who become “increasingly foulmouthed, hostile, aggressive - indeed, macho”)

something something sam’s true/unpossessed nature is feminine

Hey! Here's part two for that TMSP fic I wrote earlier! I'll leave a link to part one here in a sec! Enjoy! :3

Edit: Here's Part One!

Ruby’s day had been going quite well! He was feeling a lot better and was finally able to get out of bed. Although he was still a bit achy, getting to just walk around with Vintage made everything worth it. Some of the other members of their little town even joined in, it seemed like only Viking was missing. It wasn’t until Vintage had mentioned that they needed some materials for a build they were working on that things went wrong.

Climbing down through the cactus farm left the little group scrambling to adjust after coming from the late afternoon sun and soon they were all stumbling their way over to the chests lining the wall when Box spoke up. 

“Do ya hear that? Mighty strange noises ya got down here.” He looked around as if trying to locate it but not immediately seeing anything. 

“What do you mean? I don’t-” Ruby started but they were quickly cut off by Vintage

“It sounds like… crying, almost. It’s faint, but I can definitely hear it.”

Ruby looked at Jay but he just shrugged, unable to hear anything either.

“Yeah! Maybe one of our neighbors is in a bit of trouble! Let’s go check it out.” Without waiting for an answer, Box ran over to the tunnel leading to the clock tower. The rest of them followed after, the sound getting louder as they approached. While the other three were distracted by the massive tower hanging from the ceiling, Ruby’s eyes locked onto something at the bottom of the cavern. The blue and yellow mass was shaking next to a pool at the bottom, tears in his clothes showing that he had most likely fallen down the side of the cavern at some point. He seemed to be weakly gripping his head, fingers tangled in his wild mess of hair, showing that this had been going on for a while. 

“Viking!” His name tore itself from her lips as Ruby saw her closest friend fall limp. Jay had to hold her back from practically throwing herself down the pit and instead, they all carefully rushed down the stairs haphazardly carved into the wall. Running over, Ruby collapsed next to Viking, his knees practically giving out as he rushed to make sure he was even still breathing. When that other person had told him to make sure Viking didn’t kill anyone, Ruby never imagined Viking himself would have to be put on that list. 

Placing a hand on his forehead, Ruby gasped. “He’s burning up! Ca-can you guys help me get him back to the surface? I don’t think being down here is any good for him. “

Box immediately scooped him up like he was nothing while Jay and Vintage helped Ruby back to his feet. Together, the group made their way to the surface, material collecting forgotten for the moment, and towards Ruby’s house as it was close and didn’t have a bed on the roof. No one really knew why he thought that was a good idea. Box placed him on Ruby’s bed and then took a step back as she sat down next to him. He was pale, dark circles under his eyes making it clear he hadn’t been sleeping well. His eyes were scrunched tight and his breath came out in short pants. It was clear that he wasn’t doing well.

After looking him over, Ruby spoke. “I-I didn’t realize, I mean- He seemed tired yesterday but not like this!? I need-” 

Vintage cut them off, “What you need to do is take a deep breath, and know that we’re here to help. What do you need us to do?”

“Okay, okay um- Jay, can you go to Viking’s house and see if he has any extra potions? I kinda burned through all of mine.” Jay nodded and dashed out the door. “Box, can you um-um-um oh! We should make some fresh soup! Can you help gather some ingredients for it! Lots of fresh veggies! And Vintage, you can help me make it! We can start prepping the broth!” Soon, everyone was working, doing their best to help out their fallen neighbor. A cool cloth had been placed on his forehead and the two in the house kept throwing glances at him but he never seemed to change. Box returned first and the soup was well underway when Jay came back. 

“Alright, so, I got the potions, actually had to brew up some more because he was running low but, it seems like he’s already taken a lot of them? There were empty bottles all over his house, it’s actually a bit concerning.” Jay gives a nervous laugh, not sure what to do with this information. 

Everyone seems to pause at this. If Viking had been using potions to combat whatever this was and they hadn’t worked then that was bad news. Any number of things could be happening to him and even Viking himself might not know what it is. Before anyone could speak, however, a groan suddenly came from the direction of the bed. All heads whipped towards the source as Viking started to shift, hands coming up to clutch his head. He started to violently shake as tears began pouring down his face. He started moving around so much that he almost fell off the bed, only stopped by Box jumping into action. The two were now on the ground with Box holding him up. 

“Hey there! Don’t be doing tha-“ Box cut himself off as he got a good look at Viking’s face. “Oh… now that’s- that doesn’t look quite right.” A twinge of concern leaked into his voice. “Eyes don’t normally change quite like that.” 

At this point, everyone rushed over to try and see what he was talking about. Viking’s eyes were wide and unseeing, almost as if someone was forcing them open. They kept darting around as if searching for something but never latching on to anything. The most worrying part was the color. His usually yellow eye seemed to almost be flickering, looking a bright green at times while the blue one seemed to have the same color slowly pulsing around the pupil. All the while, he was gripping his head tight enough that they all worried he was going to tear out chunks of his hair. 

His eyes caught onto Ruby. They reverted to normal for a split second and then went back to their strange and colorful battle as things seemed to get worse. He started whimpering through gritted teeth and thrashing around as much as he could. It almost looked like he was fighting with himself, and losing. Box had given up on trying to hold him still at this point and was just staring in shock along with the others. Ruby did her best to approach, trying not to get hit by his spastic movements.

“Viking?” their voice shook seeing him like this, but they pushed on. “Hey, I don’t know if you can hear me but I think I know what’s going on? Well, maybe not know but I have a guess? You- you need to sleep Viking, do you understand? Just- it would be for the best if you just went to sleep.” At this, he seemed to panic, frantically trying to put space between himself and Ruby while trying to cover his head. He tried to say something but his voice was still shot, the only noise coming out was a hoarse rasping thing. Upon trying to stand he slipped, slamming his head on a nearby barrel as he fell. “Oh gosh! Is he dead?” Shrieked Jay as Viking landed with a sickening thwack back on the floor. The poor farmer seemed stuck between rushing over to the body and backing away as quickly as possible, keeping him rooted to his spot. Vintage started making her way over to him but stopped when he dazedly sat back up. 

He rubbed the back of his head and groaned as he shakily got to his feet, eyes pinched shut. He then sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as tiredly opened his eyes. It was then that everyone noticed this was no longer Viking. A green eyed stranger stood in his place, a handful of signs at the ready for any questions that would be thrown at him.

Maiden Raven and Hound Summer will take the Monsterfucker genre to a whole new level

Oh we can only hope XD

Though I will admit that I do think it's rather presumptive to assume that Grimm Summer will be just another 'Hound'. Rather, I imagine (hope) that Salem's Grimm Hybrids will each have their own unique forms. With Summer herself essentially being the mythical 'Humanoid Grimm' that the fandom has been theorizing about for years now.

That being said, if Summer is in fact our equivalent to the Witch King, I could also imagine her also having a monstrous, winged form as a reference to WK's Fel Beast (or maybe she just rides an unfrozen Kevin into battle).

So we could see Summer using her giant monster form to battle Raven, and when Raven is defeated, Ruby destroys Summer's monster form with a Silver Eye blast much like how Eowyn kills the Witch King's Fel Beast. Which likewise leads to Ruby (and Yang) fighting Grimm Summer, now fully unmasked and in human form, on foot.

Meaning we can still totally ship Maiden Raven with Grimm Summer in her monster form XD

@whiterose-fans-blog Whiterose Week 2024 Day 8: Free Day! (Reassurance)

[Weiss and Ruby sitting on the edge of a roof watching the Vacuo night sky]

Ruby: Hey uh, Weiss? Can you promise me something?

Weiss: What is it, Petal?

Ruby: Just promise me this... if I lose to myself again... you won't mourn a day.

Weiss: *reaching over to hold her hand* Ruby... what happened in the Ever After won't happen again.

Ruby: How can you say that? People they... they backslide all the time.

Weiss: True, but I promised to be the best teammate you would ever have. I failed that. So here's what I will promise. I will be the best wife you will ever have, and I won't let you lose yourself again. I promise.

Theoretically if I made a lackadaisy rp discord server, would anybody actually join?

[autisticlalna]

Viking: Okay. Siblings… especially older siblings, generally. Um, they protect. Their instincts should be to protect, to help. Now of course, there’s some fun to be had. You know what I mean? There’s some fun to be had, you can- you can mess around a little bit. But there is fun to be had. Siblings- siblings, you know, when push come to shove, have your back. They should not be the ones… knocking you into a pit, so to say. So to say. You know. Blindsiding you, leaving you in the dark. [clears throat] But siblings are on your side.

augh.
