New AU: "Tai"ing it all Together

I wish Taiyang Xaio Long was better in canon. He has everything I love, single dad, handsome, slight himbo energy, yet he falls short because of his lack of interaction with his kids, Yang's mention of him being distant, and an overall lack of screen time. So, I'm going to write an AU where he has more importance to the story. Oh, there will also some Qrowdad (for Ruby specifically, but not in a way that makes Tai worse), Raven going out for milk and cigarettes and Ironwood being a stud. This is more lighthearted than my Reforming Bullies: AU, but it will have some drama. Will figure it out as I go.

RWBY questions game

i never get anything for ask games so i decided to just do it lmao. skipped and deleted the ones idk what they mean or i don't want to answer. unfortunately tumblr's numbered lists are silly so theyre incorrectly numbered now https://www.tumblr.com/thuskindlyshescatters/755265757960601600/rwby-ask-game?source=share

Favorite debunked fan theory? Qrowdad no question. I kinda believed it at the time, and the way CRWBY have backed away from it is absolutely hilarious especially if they make poly STR real and Summer/Qrow is one of the only nonromantic relationships on the team. Doubly so if Rosebird Parents comes real.

Rank the soundtracks! 9 >>> 6 > 7 > 4 > 8 > 1 > 2 > 5 >>> 3. i do think v3's is noticeably worse than the others but aside from that and v9 going off there's not much differential for me.

Favorite Ruby ship? HARGH this one has been rapidly changing for me over the last couple months. i love NND and have for a very long time, it might still be my answer, but i've fallen hardcore for gemstones lately too. (artificial gemstones is excellent as well, i think penny/emerald could be really cool.) but i've also gotten very into the idea of post-v9 complicated emotions ruby/neo lately. artificial gemstones if you make me choose.

Pick a design choice for the new outfits! GIVE 👏 RUBY 👏 MORE 👏 BELTS more seriously i'm curious if ruby will have any colors representing those who have fallen. obviously penny is the big one but i also think it would be cool if she has a little rainbow sleeve or somesuch with Summer, Penny, and Pyrrha all represented. Maybe Lionheart, Ozpin, Clover, and Ironwood too, representing the more negative aspects of her guilt. Also Neo

Favorite redhead in the show? Penny.

Favorite lines? "So, when she's ready, I'll be there for her. And, I know we're not as close... but I'm here for you, too." all of Ruby's speeches to Qrow in 6x9 and 6x10 "She'll find herself. One way... or another."

Any characters you wish had lived? Penny, Pyrrha, Roman. that answer hasn't changed since v3 lol.

Any characters you wish had died? honestly, the only characters i wanted to die were adam and jacques, and they're already dead, so...

Favorite soundtrack moments? all the RWBY soundtracks since i got back into the show have released either on my birthday or a few days before and i don't notice them until my birthday. that's been incredible for me, it feels like casey is giving me a present lol.

Favorite visuals/shots? Penny against the moon in V8 i think is the best-looking shot in the show. i also love the moment when the dust clears in blake + yang vs adam, it looks perfect. all of Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble looks amazing, it's the best episode imo. the fight animation in everyone vs ironwood is so smooth and i love it, also crescent rose during the first 10 seconds or so of ruby vs the cat in v9c10. the look ruby gives neo at the end of the fight is really impressive to me too - they managed to animate her expression subtly while giving it as much emotion as a real actor would have. that look says a thousand words of concern and worry and understanding and it's so impressive that they pulled it off.

Best idea for a RWBY crossover? RWBY X Homestuck fighting game. I will sacrifice both Miles Luna and Andrew Hussie to whatever god can make this happen.

Most nostalgic part of Poser animation? i love the way yang's semblance hair looked in the old days. the maya hair is cool too but there's something about how it moved in poser.

Favorite location? visually, the house in TATT. emotionally, RNJRWYOQ's house in mistral still feels so comfy to me, i want everyone to move there at the end of the show.

Theory for the Relic of Choice? it allows you to pinpoint a choice in your life and visualize what would've happened if you'd chosen differently. i don't think it lets you actually go back and change it, though - just take that into account for any future choices.

Theory for the Relic of Destruction? i don't have a serious one but i do think it'd be really funny if it's just like. A Really Good Normal Sword with a spirit that tells you to Kill

Favorite Weiss ship? Bee's Schnees and particularly freezerburn. i'm not much of a fan of bumblebee honestly but freezerburn and monochrome carry bee's schnees hardcore.

What are you looking forward to seeing in Vacuo? Emerald Emerald Emerald i need her character development i need her being awkward with RWBYJ because she doesn't know if they'll continue to accept her

Favorite RWBYxJL character design? imma be honest i didn't like those movies very much. i like jess's design alright.

Characters you want to see redeemed? i would say emerald but she's hopefully not in question at this point. honestly i think all of the villains should get a genuine chance at redemption but my next answer is definitely Neo. my perception of purpose is that, when your purpose is fulfilled and you ascend the normal way (unlike Ruby), your new purpose has to do with bettering your old purpose. whether you had ineffective means or insufficient ends, your target is going to be the same. so i think regardless of whether she comes back as herself or someone else, neo's new purpose will be about ruby. this could be a really cool spin on redemption imo.

Favorite trans character headcanon? urghhh so many characters are so trans in this show. trans ruby is near and dear to my heart though. but trans weiss also kicks ass

What would be your Aura color/color theme? i think it would be pink and green. which one my aura would be idk but they're my two favorite colors and i like how they look together

Favorite voice performance? Lindsay Jones in v9 especially 9x7 through 9x9. they did an incredible job of letting Ruby's emotions pour through and i love how gravelly she got. i've never heard a high-pitched gravelly voice before and it sounds amazing

Favorite opening to sing along to? Trust Love. v7 also has the best intro sequence overall and i will die on this hill

Free space, ask me anything! if you have more questions you wanna hit me with send me asks! i'm always happy to get asked things about my special interests tagging @starlightsaphron @scp-bumblebee. also tagging @yangs-right-arm to be done AFTER she actually watches v9 :p

I think it's pretty intellectually bankrupt to think you can get away with blatant impersonation and slander using a low effort YouTube video made by a burner account; and creatively bankrupt to steal other peoples' work without credit and edit them shoddily.

Troy does not exist. Troy has no reason to impersonate me. You know who does? The obsessed Taiyang fan who's spent thousands on Tai commissions, to the extent of saying they want to saturate the fandom with pictures to sway CRWBY into treating it better.

The person who gets angry whenever the mere idea of Qrow x Summer or Qrowdad is brought up. The person who has a history of hating RWBY AUs and rewrites and will stop at nothing to defame or mock them. The person to whom multi-accounting is second nature and has no qualms pretending to be people they're not, so making a burner YouTube account is child's play to them. The person who's known to spend thousands of dollars on commissions so has no problems paying people to do work for them, like making fake screenshots and editing a video, even if it's such barebones effort that even a beginner with some determination and desperation could do it, i.e. themselves. In the words of another anon ask, "Why would I make a video on a channel when I literally have associates I can hire for that?"

This is all the same person. This is Eren.

Since when did canonseeker make videos involving the RWBY Fandom? And when did canonseeker have the ability to doctor images? You've always called him creatively and intellectually bankrupt, now suddenly he's able to do this? You know something is off. And its not the first time somebody pretended to be him. Who is Troy?

Canonseeker's actually made it clear for a while now that he had been wanting to make a video. While I'm pretty sure this Ask Me is just Canonseeker himself, in the 1% chance it's not, I'll try giving an answer as to how he made this video based on my experiences with video editing and image manipulation. If you're really not Canonseeker, I'd appreciate being messaged directly in Tumblr's chat instead of an Ask Me, because it makes verifying who is who much easier and differentiating between people who don't know about Canonseeker and people who do know. Again, sorry for the inconvenience. Moving onto the explanation! The quality of the video in question is something I could do in about 10 minutes in Vegas Pro 14. It's got two layers - Video and Audio. Video is where all of the images he used are uploaded to, while Audio is taken up solely by the music he picked. He starts the video with 8 seconds of blank screen (black) before it directly cuts to an edited version of SYTO's artwork. This image is the only one that lasts longer than 4 seconds that isn't the manufactured "conversation".

After this, each image he uses fades into the next one, and it isn't even timed properly to account for the dialogue that Canonseeker himself edited in since each image is on screen for the same amount of time, excluding the first and last one. What I think happened was that Canonseeker just dragged and dropped the images, overlaid them on top of each other in one layer, and called it a day. Their timestamps are too similar for this to not be the case.

After all the stolen art, the video directly cuts to a single, very vertical, image of the "conversation" between Canonseeker and CYTOseeker. This can be done quite easily. In Vegas Pro 14, you can click on an icon that brings up a timeline, set two points, and simply reposition the image so the video box is at different locations on the same image over a period of time. The program does all of the movement in between Point A and Point B for you. This can be done in under 30 seconds.

Once the nonsense passes by, it cuts to black again for about 7 seconds, but there's a flash frame at the end entirely in white. I'm not sure why this is the case, but it might be a piece of something else Canonseeker is working on, or just an image he forgot to slip in that he zoomed in way too far for.

The audio is the laziest bit about this. It's just music. No sound effects, no blending, no nothing. Dragged and dropped and that was that. This takes less than 3 seconds to do.

To answer on this "Troy" person, "Troy" is just a Canonseeker alt, considering the account was made yesterday and the video uploaded shortly after. "Troy" has never been mentioned or name dropped at any other point in the history of Canonseeker's shenanigans, so I really don't see why or how someone who is significant enough in Canonseeker's life would suddenly appear now of all times instead of several months ago when people were still unsure as to who or what Canonseeker was during all the callout posts.

That's all I'll say for now. See ya.

When a young crow leaves the nest before they can fly the crow's parents hover and watch over their young-- Kinda sounds familiar,,

Hmm. Fruit for thought..

[fire-the-headcanons]

Someone: the qrowdad theory has been shot down twice

What I'm thinking: red eyes are clearly an incompletely dominant trait because yang's are purple, a mix of raven's bright red and taiyang's blue but qrow's eyes are paler than his sister's implying that he has heterozygous genes for eye color like yang but with a netural color like gray OR SILVER so the question then becomes whether or not silver eyes are a dominant trait because if not then ruby would need to inherit a silver eye gene from her father in order to have -

What I say: it's just an AU, let people have fun

If you hate the theory that much block the tag already

This is why I shouldn't be allowed to brain past 10

Dose Yang know?

After looking into the Qrowdad theory- I’ve found Yang is commonly written out of the theory. Refered to as Ruby’s actual (unknown to her) Cusin but at heart her sister -end of story.

But- if this theory were to be true, would that really be the end of the story?

Or is there something deeper?

Dose Yang actually know that Ruby isn’t her sister but chooses to keep that to herself? If when Summer died Yang was old enough to understand and process that Raven was her biological mother, then unless Summer, Tai, and Qrow were lying from before Ruby was even born- Yang should know that Tai isn’t Ruby’s father, right?

The most popular opinion I’ve seen on this theory is that Qrow left after Summer died, so following that point of view little Yang would’ve had a lot of questions when all the sudden her cusin was calling her father “Dad”.

Anyway, just a small question that came to mind, feel free to discuss! I really want to know what others think of this.

[fire-the-headcanons]

I keep seeing “Qrow is Ruby’s father” Discourse so I wanted to submit my essay:

A lot of the people who don’t like it say they don’t because they like found family stories - but if Qrow were her father that would mean Ruby and Tai were found family. But their argument against the theory is still valid for the same reason that I really like the theory: Tai and Ruby’s relationship has no development. 

Ruby's had one conversation with Tai. One. THAT QROW. INTERRUPTED.

We've had three scenes that show the importance of Summer to Ruby: the Red Trailer, the beginning of Vol. 3, and the final memory in Vol. 6 that lets her trigger her eyes. I'm throwing the net a bit wide here, but Summer's dead, so that is a LOT of focus on their relationship! Does Ruby even really remember her?

Tai and Yang were the first memory Ruby tried to draw on to get her eyes to work. Yes! Good! Support for the canon! Other than that: he was present in the background for a few seconds when she visited Summer, and half a conversation that Qrow interrupted.

So Tai is canonically Ruby's father. But their relationship is so underdeveloped I'm not interested in it. I'm willing to believe Tai is Ruby's dad but I need to see them talk for more than 83 seconds. Yang and Qrow ALSO had only one conversation with just them, and they talked 56 seconds longer!

As for the parents’ relationships with each other, Phoenix has a lot more development than Rosedragon, but I’m willing to chalk that up to Raven still being alive and relevant to the plot. But boy I do love Hummingbird/Flown North and the delicious angsty idea of Qrow giving Ruby up to keep her safe from his Semblance because he blames it for Summer’s death. And the idea of Tai getting Summer pregnant about 14 months after Raven leaves is squicky to me - I mean, he still seems like he’s not over Raven

I will abandon the Qrowdad theory when canon develops Ruby and Tai’s relationship in ANY interesting way. So, probably the Vacuo arc? Unless Raven portals them to Atlas to help. Who knows. Miles and Kerry. They know.
