I have so many ideas of songs to apply to RWBY characters in one way or another, like I can picture it perfectly in an AMV, I'm imagining the lyrics with the scenes in the background...
Except I've never ever made an AMV, idk how to or what programm to use 😭 I'm coping with music posts to at least put the ideas OUT THERE instead of just letting them rot in my brain, but the yearning to just... snap my fingers & make them into AMVs is so strong
I'm putting my long list of song ideas under the cut if anyone's interested If per chance someone who sees this makes AMV, all these ideas are like... free to take just give me the link to the results if you use them 🙏 (and like, if you credit me for the idea in a corner that'd be NEAT but really not mandatory)
Yang - Piece by Piece (Kelly Clarkson) ➸ About Raven's abandonment, how Tai/Qrow made up for it, and her inconditional love for Ruby
Blake & Yang - Forgive me friend (Smith & Thell) ➸ About their fallout in V4-V5 due to their respective issues
Ruby & Yang - Trenches (Beth Crowley) ➸ About their respective Branwen relationships, Qrow & Raven, and the struggles they put them through at times (the difference between the two being that Qrow is always willing to change and do better) .
Ozpin & Ruby - Burned out (Dodie) ➸ On the concept of leadership, and the similarities between the two
Oz-carnations - I was Wrong (the Oh Hellos) ➸ About their story and mistakes, but mostly how guilty and sorry they feel about it
Blake & Ozpin - Savior (Beth Crowley) OR Don't Make Me (MALINDA) ➸ About their respective abusive relationships with Adam & Salem
Ozpin - Liar (Arcadian Wild) ➸ On Ozpin's lies, his guilt fighting his desire to appear strong and reliable. Ends with showing how RWBYJNRQ succumb to the same need to save face and hide their struggles. .
Ren - Keep you safe (Crane Wives) ➸ About Ren's struggles with risk and the fear of failure
Renora - Line without a Hook ➸ About their relationships, ups-and-down. Alternating PoV. .
Qrow - Ship in a Bottle (Steffan Argus) ➸ About Qrow's downward spiral, and how Ozpin/Clover factor into that
Adults in the RWBYverse - Human (Rag'n'Bone Man) ➸ To highlight the humanity of the adult cast. About their mistakes, and how they boil down to humanity's fallibility. My top adult pick for this one are Ozpin, Qrow, Ironwood & Raven. Then Winter probably ? And maybe others can be found. .
Sun about Blake - She wants me (to be loved) (The Happy Fits) ➸ One-sided love that realizes they won't be loved back, while acknowledging that Blake does love Sun (platonically) and wants the best for him. The most anti-incel song, 10/10
Sun & Weiss - Soap (The Oh Hellos) ➸ Sun singing to Blake and Weiss to Yang, platonic love, V4-V5 focus .
Penny & Pyrrha - If I die young (The Band Perry) ➸ About their lives, cut short. Highlight on their sacrifice and the good times
Penny - Bright Idea (Mother Mother) ➸ About the love Penny found in her life, her relationships, her growth and choices, and simply how great of a person she was. Good vibes .
Ironwood - Hunger (Monsters & Men) ➸ On his struggles & shot mental health, and his jarring behaviour in V8.
Emerald - Be my Escape (Relient K) ➸ About Emerald's doubts & subconsequent redemption, and Oscar's role in it.
Emerald - 10 feet tall (Cavetown) ➸ On the need to appear big & tough when her main goal is to find a home & family .
Salem - The Angry River (The Hat)
Mercury - The Moon will Sing (Crane Wives) ➸ A different look at Mercury's harsh persona, focused on his status as an abuse victim who feels trapped by the darkness they were raised in
Adam - This is Love (Air Traffic Controller) ➸ About his twisted personnality & abusive behaviour toward Blake
Neo - Snowcone (Rei Ami) ➸ About the duality of Neo, who is such a competent bad bitch but also so vulnerable without Roman, and still lost as to what to do with herself since his death
You clearly have no idea how lighting in animation works. Plus, Sun’s just tan, his skin’s never been that dark.
The gifs show Sun right next to Coco who has always been extremely pale in show, and apparently even takes pride in her pale skin in the books. So nah, I'm sorry to say it's not JUST lighting.
I didn't say Sun was POC because that's not my place (although based on his chinese allusion and how I've seen people describe him I wouldn't say that's necessarily inappropriate) and it's also why I won't be speaking of white-washing because AGAIN, not my place. Saying he's just tan works for me if that's what you want to go with; doesn't change the fact that Coco clearly ISN'T. He's not Emerald but Sun's skin is still arguably one of the darkest of the show along with Tai, Ilia or Oscar so I think it matters.
Yea I took a V1-V3 Sun screenshot because I can already hear the argument that Coco is only THAT pale bc of the different engines. Yes but that's not the problem : same season, CLEARLY different skin tones. And they're both in day lightning in the first screenshots.
Now Chibi. They're in the exact same place at the same time under the same lighting : Sun should still be clearly more tanned than Coco. Point blank
(again i don't watch Chibi so maybe this isn't NEW and back in the first chibi seasons they had already stolen his melanin; but that doesn't change the fact of the matter.)
Annnnd the rest of my DIluc week drawings, from @drawingwithdonnie ‘s promo list awhile back! I believe the prompts were: Phoenix, Then and Now, Vision (haha blind Diluc), Family, annnd Happy Birthday (going for a reconciliation thing because. Wow they need it.)
Please do not tag with shipping tags, thanks!
I’ve seen takes that are like “do we need to label every platonic boy and girl relationship as being like siblings, can’t they just be friends?” And these takes are correct, we do need more of these relationship to be defined as friendship. BUT Luz and Hunter are the pinnacle of a sibling dynamic, I could not describe them in any other way.
The last time they saw each other, they parted ways on very tense terms, Hunter threatening her with a staff and Luz sadly admitting that he wasn’t her friend but just a servant of Belos. And then immediately afterwards he defended her from Kiki, a distraction she used to escape with the palismen. They never addressed their last interaction ever again.
In Eclipse Lake, Hunter is dealing with the failure of his last mission. He could have resented Luz for being the reason he failed, but he doesn’t. He only blamed himself. The extent of Hunter’s anger towards Luz in that episode seems to be that she’s been going around calling him a “bad but sad boy” which embarrasses him. And in turn, Luz’s description of Hunter to Eda seems to be of a similar opinion. Nothing she says about him comes across as resentment. But she’s clearly poking fun at him, just a little.
And then the next time they interact, it’s Luz annoying him with emoji-filled texts, as though they’re buddies. And he’s pissed about it and yet he doesn’t ignore it or block her. (Idk if he knows how to block people but him replying with “LEAVE ME ALONE” is so very big brother-ish of him.)
And then when Luz saw him in town and needed to talk with him, her first instinct was to TACKLE HIM TO THE FUCKING GROUND (self explanatory) and then he’s all in a huff and it’s like he was about to win at Mario kart and Luz deliberately fucked it up for him. And THEN he tears off his mask because it’s just Luz and he really doesn’t give a shit about upholding his persona for her. Luz doesn’t need to know that she has angered the Golden Guard but Luz DOES need to know that Hunter thinks she’s an asshole.
And then they’re in the mindscape and Hunter manages to stay pissed off at her for like less than a minute before he gets bored of being mad so they just start chatting casually about how mindscapes work and he sees something cool and he’s like “HOLY FUCK LUZ LOOK AT THIS” because that’s just how they operate.
The way Luz smirks at him when he’s being cutesy with Flapjack, the way Hunter smugly nudges her when he thinks she’s been proven wrong. The way these two kids have legitimate reasons to despise each other but they just don’t. Neither hold serious grudges as they’d rather just bicker about petty shit and then buddy it up two seconds later. It’s like.
They’re best friends. They both think the other is the most annoying person on the planet. They would do anything to protect each other. They would break into a fist fight if given the option.
What the fuck could I possibly call them but siblings??

The truth about Huntlow is that if they were out on a date and happened to meet Gus they would stop the date and just hang out with Gus.
Okay, I'm really curious to see everyone's thought on this so...
If you had one complaint, or if you could change one thing about the Atlas arc... What would it be ? And why ?
The answer can be anything, from "I'd put a Bumbleby kiss somewhere" to "I wouldn't make Ironwood a villain" so just... go wild, I won't judge !! I just wanna see your answers :D (in reactions, or reblogs or a separate link, anything really). Ramble as much as you want !!

I'm so sorry I couldn't come up with a better name for Blake and Oscar but the existing name is cattree and I don't want it. Blackpines? I've also heard Blakeberry but idk I don't associate Oscar with berries. Feel free to share your suggestions bc I'm drawing a blake. Emerald City is used for both romantic and platonic shipping, so I left it. Also there's no improving on "Data Farms" believe me I've tried it's too good a name :P
If you have a different favorite lmk! It only let me put 10 options >:(
If you say Ozpin you're cheating and if you say Hazel I'm gonna throw something /j
I've come to the realization while playing our campaign yesterday that this is straight up the best way to describe our party interactions regarding sacrifices or life & death situations
In other words, we all have the mentality of 12 years old
At least we care about each other I guess A bunch of stubborn adventurers on the road... multiplying the threats of death by sticking together bc they all have their own plot-related problems...
What could go wrong s/
Qrow becoming a father figure to Mercury is such an underrated scenario it hurts me. Besides Qrow's personal villain being Tyrian who is tormenting Mercury as we speak, their individual narratives, albeit on opposite sides of the war, complement each-other so well.
Qrow saw no value in his life because of his semblance bringing harm to those he loved so he isolated himself in addiction and pledged unconditional loyalty to someone who lied and (to an extent) used him. Mercury had his semblance taken away from him for being "weak", which led him to reduce his personal value to strength, latching onto anyone to whom his skillset as an assassin can be useful in exchange for safety.
At least an interaction over their self hatred leading them to unhealthily follow people who gave them value and purpose, even if treated as a means to an end.
Luz remembered what the collector said differently.
In "Edge of the World" she recalled it being "let's slash and rend and crush and bruise, let's curse the land in nine bright hues". In "Hollow Mind", it was "we'll play together me and you, when we paint the land in nine bright hues".
This also happened in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" where she remembered her mom telling her to never go back to the boiling isles but in "Yesterday's Lie" she actually told Luz to promise her to stay home and that she'll swear things will be different.
It's no surprise that she remembered those two events differently since they were both pretty emotional moments and plus human memory isn't perfect.
I know someone has said this before and that a lot of people figured it out but I thought it was still a cool detail.
