#you BETTER believe they're jumping on the ruby hype cult REAL fast

[anthurak]

Continuing the discussion of Ruby potentially getting a cult, one factor I imagine would make a particularly interesting influence is how any potential in-universe lore and myths surrounding the Silver Eyed Warriors might come into play.

Like we already know the SEWs are mysterious, legendary figures in Remnant culture, and it's pretty much a given that Ruby's status as one of them would be well known at this point. Certainly her friends and family would have no reason not to share that information, not to mention Ruby's exploits in Argus.

Basically, depending on what kind of lore surrounds the SEWs and how 'mystical' they might be seen, I imagine how much that lore ends up being attached to Ruby is going to be the difference between her being seen as some ideological idol, or a full-on religious figure.

Frankly, I'd say it's a good thing that Ruby and Maria don't seem to have ever bothered sharing their theory that the Silver Eyes probably come from the God of Light with anyone else.

Because if THAT idea was more well known, I think we can all agree that Ruby would be getting full-on deified REAL quickly.
