They are sisters.

[hadesisqueer]

Weiss: Does the phrase “fucked up and evil” imply you can be fucked up and good?

Yang: Yes.

Weiss: Example?

Yang: Our sisters.

FINAL BRACKET - ROUND ONE: SCHNEESTER LOVE VS HELLBIRDS

Propaganda is below the cut.

SCHNEESTER LOVE

“The affectionate older one and the idolizing younger one my beloved <3 and they’ve got the range! Do you like rougher, more abusive ships? V3 onwards has got you covered with Winter’s almost disdainful treatment of Weiss, or maybe you like sweeter, more doting ships? Then V7 onwards has got you covered with Winter clearly adoring Weiss—all in one package!”

HELLBIRDS

"canonical choking out, whats not to love. that moment where they swap weapons midfight tho, I am looking disrespectfully."

"It should've been me."

[thesparringpanther]

Yang: If Winter tells you to jump, you'd ask how high.

Weiss: Don't be ridiculous.

Weiss: I'd already be in the air.

On the ground floor of the Gala

Willow, just before departing a chat with Cinder and Ruby: Oh, would you two give me one moment? Mister Inceeus, a word?

Ruby, sighing happily before turning fully to Cinder: These Galas just keep getting longer, huh?

Cinder, smiling with a sigh: One more hour, Red.

Cinder, smirk growing, with a point to the second floor: Oh, look at that

Ruby, following Cinder’s prompt to see both Winter and Weiss with stupid smiles leaning over the veranda staring down at them: Aww, they look so pretty!!

Cinder, raising a glass in salute to the pair, as Ruby waves:

Winter and Weiss, their smiles flat lining as they become brilliantly flushed red:

Ruby: Aww they’re embarrassed

Cinder: Tsk tsk, smitten little fools

The coursework wasn't so much difficult, as it was that Winter had a harder time focusing at home than she did at school. There were far too many distractions here, from the grandfather clock ticking out in the hallway to the constant hustle and bustle of the house staff. The last thing she needed was a distraction bursting into her room, and without so much as looking up from her work, she had spat out the remark at her sister.

She didn't need to look to see the disappointment and hurt on Weiss' face. Exhaling a heavy sigh, Winter shakes her head and sets the pen aside, turning to fully face her sister. How many more years would they have together like this?

"No, Weiss, I..." Whatever apology she wants to say dies on her tongue, and she instead closes the book and gets to her feet. "Come. I'll have Klein make us some tea, and then we can talk all about what you've been up to."

“ i didn’t know where else to go. “ (from winter!)

@schneesters

"Come here my dear," Willow motioned for Winter to come over to the couch she was sitting on. Whitely was sleeping. Everything that had happened with the falling of Atlas has been a lot. willow didn't fully understand. But she felt the loss of one of her children, in Winter's haunting expression when she'd come through that gate.

She hadn't been much of a mother in a long time. But now, she had to do her best. Whatever was happening was much bigger than her, and her babies needed her.

"Sit, rest,"

My favorite scene in volume 7 is in episode 5, the entire talk between Weiss and Winter.

They were just training and Winter semi-compliments Weiss' progress, sorta in a pompous, tough-teacher way, and Weiss just smiles and teases her, which surprises Winter.

After Willow became depressed, Winter took Weiss under her wing—writers confirmed she also tried to take Whitley under her wing as well, but Jacques made sure it didn't happen—. Winter basically took on the mother role for Weiss while being barely more than a kid herself.

The situation it's way different than with Yang and Ruby, because while Yang also became some sort of sister-mom to Ruby they were also closer in age. And Yang wasn't Ruby's mentor: Qrow was; her uncle was her teacher and the person Ruby, along with Summer, that she looked up to him growing up that she got a scythe just like him.

Winter and Weiss are different: Winter is about five or six years older than Weiss. They didn't have an uncle Qrow that Weiss could look up to and learn from; Nicholas Schnee was most likely dead by then, and while I'm sure that Willow probably was Winter's teacher... She wasn't emotionally available. Therefore, Winter didn't only have to be sorta like a mom; she also was Weiss' first teacher, her mentor, the one that taught her how to fight and how to use her semblance. Winter wasn't just a sister, she was some sort of mother figure and an authority figure in Weiss' eyes. That's why she acted extra formal and pompous in volume 3 when Winter arrived. Weiss always saw Winter as more than just her older sister: Winter was her idol, her mentor, and she wanted her approval, just like a kid wants approval from her favorite teacher or her parent, she wants to make Winter proud.

That's why Winter looked so surprised when Weiss teased her in volume 7, like a normal sibling would. In volume 3, Weiss would have never done that. And that's why Winter chuckles; she realizes how much Weiss has grown, that she no longer does things to seek Winter's approval, and that she doesn't really need Winter to be a mentor anymore. Winter can just-- be her sister now. And Winter drops the formality as well, and she starts talking to Weiss not as a student or a kid, but as her equal, listening to her opinion and never brushing it off, confiding in her. And that was something I really liked.

I/NCEST BRACKET - SEMI FINALS: ENABLER VS SCHNEESTER LOVE

Propaganda is below the cut.

ENABLER

“they are incredibly close, also Ruby was totally jealous in vol9, she told me herself.”

“Yang basically raised Ruby and has been there for her since day one. Protective big sis Yang and her precious little rose. The dragon and her baby sister. They are just meant for each other. Not to forget that the red and yellow goes together so well.”

“The original! Before there was White Rose there was Enabler—it’s history really, and damn if they aren’t cute. Goth little sister x jock older sister, trying to protect your baby sister x trying to be as cool as your big sister? So good.”

SCHNEESTER LOVE

“The affectionate older one and the idolizing younger one my beloved <3 and they’ve got the range! Do you like rougher, more abusive ships? V3 onwards has got you covered with Winter’s almost disdainful treatment of Weiss, or maybe you like sweeter, more doting ships? Then V7 onwards has got you covered with Winter clearly adoring Weiss—all in one package!”

I would have loved the Jacques Dinner episode more if it had started with Weiss saying she's tagging along to support Winter and her friends agree to tag along to support Weiss primarily because its sappy and the show needs to be sappier
