If I was Winter I'd dye my hair white too. Can you imagine growing up looking exactly like your abuser of a parent because of genes while your siblings seem to get the ¨better colors¨, but somehow forget to do your eyebrows too?

Confession #221

[moonchemistry]

i couldn't help myself with this one i HAD to

[brockleejones]

There’s nothing more annoying then people constantly saying freezerburn is divorced-coded or divorced when those two have never fought once or argued in the show. It’s such a forced dynamic that’s not even funny. They literally have no divorced tension whatsoever and Yang and Weiss have always got along with Yang being the only person Weiss didn’t have beef with at the start. Blake and Weiss have more of a divorced energy then them and even Ruby and Weiss to some extent during volume 1

[misstrashchan]

Mmmmm been having some thoughts on Ruby and Weiss rn

Ruby is set up to be foiled to Alyx, both in the opening, trying to retrace her footsteps in her story in the first couple of episodes, picking up Alyx's knife at the blacksmith's:

And in the latest episode, her lashing out being met with her intepreted as being cruel and selfish:

"Like Alyx, she wasn’t just a little petulant or inconsiderate. She was selfish, cruel. Like this whole word was simply make-believe and the rules didn’t apply to her."

"What about you? It's *all* about you!"

JWBY all seem to have different ideas of who and what Alyx was. She exists to teach a moral lesson, she's just a girl trying to survive and find her way back home, she was a mean little girl, she was the villain who rewrote the story.

But then we also have this line from the book said by Oscar in V8:

"She brushed off her bumps and bruises, for nothing hurt worse than the loneliness in her chest."

And... I'm reminded of Ruby's own loneliness, how distant she feels from her own teamates and friends right now, from the pressure of expectations to always be the one with a plan, with a smile and something positive to say to inspire everyone to Keep Moving Forward, put on her by both herself and the people around her. How Weiss is mourning her kingdom, Yang and Blake get to sort their feelings out, Jaune gets to have his breakdown, to the point his own over shadows Ruby's and her feelings are dismissed. And how the way she lashes out at them was both understandable and a long time coming, but also terribly cruel and messy. And that no one can be blamed for not seeing or reaching out to Ruby more when she refuses to let others know how much she's hurting and ask for their help. Ruby is still entitled to her own feelings. So is Jaune and WBY.

Which brings to mind a certain quote shown at the beginning of a certain someone's trailer:

"Everyone is entitled to their own sorrow, for the heart has no metrics or forms of measure. And all of it... irreplaceable"

Weiss's arc involves her looking outside of herself and learning to see and understand those around her, their own sorrows and burdens they carry with them. And of course, loneliness is a big reoccurring theme in Weiss's arc. Meeting her teammates and supporting them is what leads to her understanding their struggles, hence why Weiss develops from wanting to be the leader to instead dedicating herself to being the most supportive member in team RWBY, and thrives the most when she's fighting with them, but also emotionally supports them through their own struggles.

She's the one who notices something's off with Blake first in V2, and gets her to open up to the rest of her team so they can all work it out together:

"So, Blake Belladonna, what is wrong!?"

She supports Yang when she's confronting Raven and dealing with her abandonment issues

"It's okay if... you're not okay."

Her own sense of self and relationship to loneliness is a healthy one at present, and is something she can use to relate to others.

She understands other people’s loneliness, that Blake in V5 needed space and in time she’d come back, and Weiss would be ready to be there for her when she did. And she also understands Yang’s loneliness in the same volume and that she needed someone there to support her.

“But you’re right. I don’t know loneliness like you do. I have my own version. And, I bet Blake has her own version too.” 

"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."

Weiss understands that no one's version of loneliness is the same, and every individual needs something different to have their feelings respected and understood. And now in V9 Weiss has to reckon and come to understand Ruby's own version of loneliness after seeing Ruby snap and how much everything has been weighing down on her, and what she needs from her as a friend and teammate.

All the way back in V1, Weiss grew to accept Ruby as leader and promised to support her:

"Ruby... I think you have what it takes to be a good leader. Just know, that I am going to be the best teammate you will ever have."

And I believe she'll try to hold true to that as best she can for Ruby going forward.

Hey

If the Curious Cat knows about all about WBY’s past from episodes prior

And now has Neo’s semblance to create any illusion

Does that mean we can potentially see WBY fighting fer their lives against the likes of Jacques, Raven, Adam, etc etc etc?

Shit imagine it makes WBY fight against several Rubys asking each of them why they failed her like. You were my teammate who said you’d support me. You were my sister who promised to protect me. You were my partner who was supposed to be the one person I could always count on no matter what.

“Why weren’t you there for me?”

“Where were you when I needed you most?”

“How could you just let me die?”

[cartoontees]

ok yeah cinder's going to be pissed something fearsome to see that ruby is still alive but weiss? she's killed weiss like twice now and she's still not dead. what do you do then.

[chlothequeen]

Before volume 9, I kinda wondered where the whole deal with Ruby and Weiss being partners on team RWBY was going, but…

There are some parallels between Ruby’s current arc and Weiss’ arc during Beacon, in that they’re both trying to conform to expectations and struggling to find themselves. Weiss was the one to realize what Ruby was going through in volume 9 because she’s been through a comparable experience herself (just go listen to path of isolation).

Given that Ruby chose herself thinking she would be enough to bare her burdens, I have a feeling she’s going to try to take on a leadership position again back on Remnant—except now, in Vacuo, she’d be dealing with tensions between this kingdom, Atlas, Mantle, and Menagerie, there’s the maiden to worry about, and Salem (or even just Tyrian and Mercury) could show up at any time.

However, Weiss has already brought up with the rest of the team how leadership has been effecting Ruby. And I have a feeling none of Ruby’s team is going to let her spiral again, so I imagine Weiss will have to have a talk with Ruby about how she goes about being a leader, and how her team can be there for her.

“Just know, I’m going to be the best teammate you’ll ever have.”

To Earn Ones Favor Ch.1 - For Your Favor

Summary: Weiss was suffocating in her life as royalty. Suffocating to the point where she could barely breathe. So, when the chance to leave, to run away from her duties, from her Father who wants to marry her off, she takes it. Leaving with two silver-eyed women her life changes but whether for the better or not, well, only time will tell.

Words: 3,057

Main Relationship: Weiss Schnee/Ruby Rose/Maria Calavera

Rating: T

Notes: A commission for @powertaco to write a Deaths WhiteRose AU. Hope other people enjoy it as much as they do!

Fic:

The capital city of Atlas was a hive of activity as the birthday celebration for the King’s youngest daughter was in full swing and all were excitedly enjoying the festivities. All except for the youngest daughter whose celebration this was in honor of. She sat in the shade of a tent near the front of the tournament grounds watching as the servants set up for the main draw of the day. 

Weiss leaned into her hand, letting out a heavy sigh. “Is something wrong, Your Highness?” Klein spoke as he poured tea from a porcelain pot into a matching cup. “Are you not enjoying your birthday celebration?” 

“Did anyone even think to ask me if this was something I wanted?” Weiss grumbled as she took the tea, bringing it to her lips she took a deep breath of the black tea before taking a small sip. “Did anyone think to ask if this was how I wanted my 21st birthday to be celebrated?” 

Klein was silent nodding as he returned to standing at attention. “Well,” He spoke slowly. “Perhaps you can try and find something to enjoy? Even just something small maybe?” The butler smiled, eyes crinkling with the action. 

“Maybe.” Weiss sighed as she set her cup back on the table, watching as the servant continued to put up the tournament brackets. Standing up she moved to look at the finalized brackets. A lot of men had signed up. Of course, they had. After all, this was a chance to show off and earn a favor from the King and Queen. It didn’t make Weiss feel any better about what she was being forced to endure. Not much to enjoy when her birthday was being used as a way to try and find a suitor. 

As Weiss dragged her eyes over the names, two suddenly jumped out at her because they were women's names. Ruby and Maria. Maybe this would be a little less of a sausage fest than she originally thought. ‘Interesting. This will be…interesting.’ She thought as she returned to the shade of the tent, collapsing back into the wooden seat. She reached for her tea, watching as people moved back and forth past the opening, putting the finishing touches on the tournament grounds. Erecting the stands where spectators would sit observing the combatants and a stage where the announcements would be made. 

Speaking of announcements, as the preparations finished the announcer climbed on the stage and spoke into a cone, voice echoing through the grounds. “Will all combatants please make their way to the tournament grounds!” 

“Shall we?” Klein spoke leaning forward, smiling brightly.

[cowcowwow]

Weiss doodles plus Weiss if they were a mew!!! EXPLODES :3

[darkmoonravewolf]

I just had the best idea of

Ruby as Puss

Weiss as Kitty

Little/Somewhat as Perrito

I'm going to draw it later but now that it's in my head I want to do something with it.

[lesbianuravity]

thinking about team strq (in an au where summer is alive) having bets on when yang and weiss get together because the first time they saw those two together all four of them just knew that yang was head over heels in love with weiss

[lovingdabeessss]

We don’t talk about how these scenes are parallels enough and I think that’s a crime

Like DUH it’s the first time they meet all together and then it’s the first time they all meet together AGAIN (like metaphorically due to how much they’ve changed it’s them meeting again like reintroducing themselves kinda thing which is so fun and insane and great)

And that’s all good and great for OVERALL analysis like it represents the tensions between them all the uncertainty but also how they’ve been through it before and the hope that they can do it again while simultaneously being dooming because it didn’t work out the first time why would it the second and blah blah blah

But that’s not what THIS is an analysis of I’m talking about THE BEESS specifically and how it’s SUCH an on the nose acknowledgment and representation of how they switch places and how they’re whole dynamic is as a whole like COME ON!!!!

So we’re all so very aware of how clearly Yang and Blake are supposed to be like yin and yang(obviously) their color thing with souls and eyes, the cat and dragon thing, they’re whole vibe, like. It’s SOOOOO obvious

SOOOOO obvious, I don’t need to go into that we all know this

But something not 100% glaringly Obvious about Yin and Yang as a concept is that they transform into each other night transforms to day, day into night they switch

And we watch as this happens with Blake and Yang

As Blake becomes mentally better Yang becomes mentally worse that’s pretty much all of v4-5

Blake is awkward trying to start up conversations immediately defending Yang at every turn desperately trying to have a relationship with her again not by asking or begging for forgiveness but by genuinely attempting to earn it by proving she can count on her that she’s not going to run anymore that she does care and understands(she doesn’t really with this part but she’s trying) her feelings

Yang is closed off she’s expecting the worst expecting Blake to be the same as before only allowing herself to be around Blake because she’s willing to go through how bad it was the first time again just to have a little bit more of her life spent with her but never because she actually thinks things will change

They switch dynamics

And this is shown SOOOO clearly and obviously in this scene

Additionally in the first episode when they all meet they have a different first meeting where all but one are there it’s Blake Weiss and ruby arguing about dust and all that fun stuff

We have that here to!! It’s the other!! reunion when Weiss and Yang show up at the house

But of course!!! Yang and Blake are swapped!! Instead of Blake explaining the terrible history of the schnee dust company it’s Yang explaining the history of ozpin lying to them all the time

THEYRE SO RAHHHHGGGGGGG
