Pride Month Game ! Part 2

We have evolved past the need for pretty lies so let's be honest

RT only killed Pyrrha and Ozpin because of how beautiful they are. They knew they would have had too much power in the new engine, and we weren't ready for them.

Now we know better. Give us Pyrrha and Ozpin in the new engine cowards.

Darius: Angry blond kid?

Darius: Hey, that’s MY angry blond kid!

Ooooh that's a lovely idea !! I'm planning on some Pride posts but honestly I had a long day & I'm beat so... great reblog idea for tonight before going to bed

I identify as asexual just like OP ! And uh... my romantic orientation is Error 404 My gender is "binders are great and being a sexless being would be the best but I don't experience dysphoria nor care about/understand pronouns enough so I don't feel legitimate calling myself anything </3"

Yeaaah identity stuff is hard for me, sorry. That said...

I headcannon Lie Ren as a romantic asexual ♡

I actually don't headcannon easily characters, so I'll see later if I can't think of anyone else. But Lie Ren just vibes very ace to me and I also yearn for representation ;;

Let's play a game! In honor of Pride Month, reblog with the flag(s) you identify with, and then underneath, post the flags of a character you headcanon with the same or similar identities!

I'll start!

I identify as: aromantic asexual - he/they demiboy

I headcanon Ruby Rose as: demiromantic asexual

The RWBY character ask still going on, don't hesitate to ask if you have nothing better to do <3 (it lets me organize my thoughts because when I'm not speaking I don't think apparently)

(i'm reposting instead of reblogging bc the original post is getting long, sorry)

Send me a RWBY character and I’ll tell you:

My fav ship(s) for the character

My least favorite ship(s) for the character

My fav & least fav platonic relationship(s) for the character

My favorite thing about the character

My biggest criticism for the character

When was their writing at the peak according to me (ex : best season)

A song I think fits them & why

A headcanon to make up about them

What I would change about them if I was making a re-write

My guess for their MBTI/Enneagram

One aspect that I think would be nice to delve deeper into ? (optional)

Here's my reblog to officially get this going !

For clarity :

if I use "&" it means platonic

I love certain relationships from one side, but I can have other pairings I find more interesting for the other character.

If there's a > here or there, it's just to indicate that I prefer the relationship as platonic over romantic, or the other way around, or I'm more interested in some relationships than others in the team

════════════════ *.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*════════════════

Ruby Rose

Gngrbrd/Rosegarden they are so SOFT and so good for each other. helping the other up. disagreeing healthily but still being allies & here for each other. sharing what hurts, what's ugly and not perfectly optimistic. they just;; are here for each other and i love them for that

Ruby & Qrow they are so cute, Ruby was never cuter than when she interacted with Qrow in Vol1-3 she looked up to him so damn much; and he loves & cares so much for her in return. AND NOW HE THINKS SHE'S DEAD don't touch me i'm sad. I want a reunion hug

✦

Weiss Schnee

Freezerburn i'm sorry, there are few RWBY conversations I have loved more than Weiss & Yang's in V5, i loved them so much in this volume and they still have a chokehold on me. i love them so much also they would absolutely not divorce come on i know "weiss ice queen" jokes have not died out but Weiss has gotten so much softer, also her & Yang have never had a strong disagreement and she'll defend her with her life.

Team RWBY (Yang = Ruby > Blake) THEY ARE FOUND FAMILY i love

Weiss & Winter

✦

Blake Belladonna

Blake & Sun/Blacksun i wasn't particularly invested in the ship for V1-V3 but Blake really needed help & a steadfast presence in V4-V5 as well as some sunny optimism and Sun was there for her so yeah i'm sorry i still love them so goddamn much. also, he just had so much impact on Blake in general by finally geting her to accept her friends' help and stop making choices for them. he might lacks tact but come on he cares for her it's dishonest to argue the countrary. BLAKE HAS TWO HANDS IF THAT'S WHY YOU DISLIKE SUN. JUST SAYING.

Blake & Yang (V1-V5) i really like their relationship, i loved Burning the Candle & i don't have any problems with Bumbleby fundamentally. however i would have liked more for the resolution of their V5 conflict (like a soft & deep convo similar to what Yang & Weiss had, or Lumity in last week's ep if you watch it too). Just my preference. All that Matters is a song I absolutely love, but for me it's not a love song but a very sad one and I would have wanted another resolution than the one we got.

✦

Yang Xiao-Long

Freezerburn

Yang & Tai he's not a bad dad at all okay, i will fight some people. and the way he & Yang are so similar but also he's so much more chill are very nice to see. they complete each other well.

Yang & Ruby

Yang & Blake (V1-V5)

✦

Lie Ren

Ren & Nora > Renora no problem with Renora at all, i love these two together but i also don't feel strongly about the ship, platonic would have been by me. plus i didn't really like the kiss scene we've got, i don't think it was a very good one given that neither of them were in the right headspace. i love most of their relationship otherwise

Ren & Emerald/Envy Zinnia i saw a fanart by *iwantofall* and have never been the same since. please look it up.

Ren & Oscar they are brothers your honor

✦

Nora Valkyrie

Nora & Ren > Renora

Nora & Jaune

Just... Renoarc ;; Nora & her boys. she loves them so much. she takes such good care of them. her 2 beautiful idiots. "jaune stop hurting yourself" & "ren you're good enough stop throwing yourself at dangerous Grim". i care them

✦

Oscar Pine

Gngrbrd/Rosegarden

Oscar & Ozpin dadpin dadpin dadpin dadpin dad-

Oscar & Murder Kids Oscar & Emerald are gonna be a riot I can tell. He's her whole moral compass. and Mercury is gonna be even worse than Emerald. I can't wait. I wanna see Mercury get reluctantly attached to our farm boi. Oscar won't catch a break with these two but he'll have a protection squad ready to do anything for him.

✦

Penny Polendina

Penny & Winter i have no words for how much I loved Penny & Winter. they made me cry. they care so much for each other. they were trying so hard. never judged the others for their decisions & still looked out for each other. we don't deserve them.

Penny & Ruby (V1-V3) absolutely loved Ruby's acceptance of Penny in the earlier volume. set such an important tone for our redhead sweetheart. last volume soured the relationship for me because of the whole "now you have a flesh body" plot, and taking decisions for Penny (even if well-meaning) in a volume where she struggled with agency. i'm sorry.

✦

Jaune Arc

Jaune & Marrow/Guard Dogs they were so cute & fun. Marrow just can't get Jaune name right but he worried so much for him. and they're just fun you know

Jaune & Neo

Caduceus i blame iwantofall again. but the art is,, too cute. it's just very hard for me to ship jaune. i can't vibe with white knight & lancaster at all; but these two ships pass the test. guard dogs more because there is canon content. and they are wholesome.

Renorarc

✦

Qrow

Qrow & Clover/Fair Game they were so good for each other okay i don't care i don't want any clover slander here :( they worked very well together and clover was great for qrow's self-esteem because he didn't let his self-deprecating jokes slide. none of them !! as he should !! they deserved better

Qrow & Ozpin/Cloqwork

Qrow & Ruby

✦

BONUS (no more pictures)

Mercury & Emerald

each other aka Murder Kids (platonic/found family) i really can't ship emercury sorry, but they clearly care about each other a lot they've been together for years. i hope it'll stay platonic but as it is i really love their relationship. please mercury redemption don't separate the murder kids.

Murder Kids & Oscar

Mercury & Qrow qrow had a shitty life too, both have semblance-related struggles & their arc was/is about getting out of the shitty background they were raised in. the potential here is unparalleled. they'd clash so much but also.. there's something soft under. i wanna see it.

Emerald & Ren

Winter

Winter & Penny

Winter & Ironwood this was her dad (affectionate)... they trusted each other so much

Whitley

Whitley & Oscar > Snowpines

Whitley & Ruby i just want good things for Whitley. that is the basis of him interacting with Oscar & Ruby. I WANT HIM TO HAVE FRIENDS. also Oscar & Ruby are an inspiration, maybe it'd alight something in him.

Whitley & Qrow qrow is so opposite to everything he was raised in but that's what makes it appealing. i saw fanfics of this, i love the idea of Whitley admiring Qrow and starting to emulate him a bit even though it's so out of place for a schnee kid. but it would be the point wouldn't it : he can finally stop fawning.

AAAAND I tag @hyperfixation-hideout, @greenteaandtattoos, @gunchucks-wukong ! Spread the game ? if you want - anyone else who sees this is welcome to participate !

RWBY Relationships Tag Game

Okay, this has probably already been done but A tagging game for fun while waiting for V9, and to celebrate all our different tastes in characters & relationships !

For each character in RWBY : share your favorite platonic and/or romantic relationships for that character !

Doesn't have to be canon at all : if you love Yang & Emerald go for it, if you love Freezerburn go for it ! And if it's canon that great as well : if you love Emerald City go for it, if you love Bumbleby go for it ! No judgment from my side whatsoever, just share whatever relationship catch your eye & tickles your interest.

You don't have to do every character, but don't hesitate to do a good amount if you're in the mood ! Just skip characters you aren't interested in, but otherwise background characters are just as welcome as main teams.

I'll start with a reblog, and tag some people at the end. If you don't wanna play, no pressure ! I'm not close to many people so I'll just tag some people I think are cool, sorry if it seems like it's coming out of nowhere :') Just ignore my tag if you don't wanna join in !

i have never even watched rwby chibi, but just from the few gifs I've seen on the rwby feed I want to say, from the bottom of my heart... bring back sun's melanin coward who the fuck is this

why is he as pale-skinned as Winter

WHAT IS THIS

💛🤍💜🖤 !! NB Ozpin my beloved

And hell yeah for bi Qrow

wanted to do a cute lil doodle for sgbi :-) so it turned into my hcs hehe... happy pride month

I can't even fanthom the sheer CONFIDENCE with which these people qualify RG shippers as gross 30 yo when this ship is just two wholesome children trying their best. There is nothing sexual about it, there's no power imbalance between Oscar & Ruby, they respect each other, they just finger-gun each other or blush a bit. How do they even make that jump to "ew gross" I genuinely CAN'T understand

Also you know they're not even worth it when they outright say "if you see me attack people who are just existing & liking a sweet ship between 2 teenagers, don't call me out." Someone really missed the "having differing likes and preferences doesn't allow you to attack a person" classes uh

Rosegarden Antis: "Why are you always shoving rg in our faces??? You're disgusting and it's inappropriate and you're all toxic!"

Also Rosegarden Antis:

One: *confused 20-year-old noises*

Two: You're telling people to mind their business as you harass and attack rosegarden shippers who are *looks at scribbles on hand* minding their business?

Three: When people call you out on your bullshit, you claim that they "proved your point" and that they're the bad guys for... defending themselves?

Four: This person ALSO did a post asking what people's unpopular RWBY opinions were and added, "No HTDM!" as if they weren't part of it.

Nora : In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Ren : Wasn't Jaune with you ?

Jaune : In my defense, I was also left unsupervised
