Letting go to find what's next

Blake rather enjoyed the mall, or to be more specific she enjoyed a bookstore. More specifically a certain adorable girl working at the bookstore. Of course one day she noticed another woman in there talking to her, and she didn't like that. Not one bit.

Art by the incredible @amelia-yap and she has earned the right to name Weiss's Gumoss.

Weiss continues to do her best to continue on despite how much life wants her to suffer. It just wasn't fair.

Whiterose is a ship that started as generic tropes but they grew together.

If you want a ship that's 'omg 2 girls that's hot' then look at the fact that people ship Schneewoodforest (Robyn/Winter) despite the fact that they don't talk to each other, and are barely on the screen for more then 2 seconds together, once, and that Robyn, and Qrow seem like a pretty sure thing based on the epilogue, and all of their many reactions.

Ruby helped bring Weiss out of her shell, and makes sure she takes the time to smell the roses, and Weiss pushes Ruby to be the leader she knows she can be.

Ruby and Weiss are stubborn, and strong willed, and they need a partner who can stand up to them. There isn't anyone else in the show that can do that for them.

Ruby runs roughshod over any other people they want to ship her with, but when Weiss puts her foot down then Ruby knows she needs to listen, but likewise Weiss will always back Ruby's plays because she knows Ruby will do what's best for them.

They have changed each other and still do for the best.

Weiss might touch others, and have become better about initiating touch now, but notice that outside of group hugs, Weiss DOESN'T like to be touched. When Penny grabs her inside the vault she kinda tenses up, and just keeps talking doing her best to ignore it, but when Weiss has Ruby come up and touch her to gently lead her away she allows, and relaxes into it.

Ruby can just on and to other moving missiles but HAS to hold onto Weiss to stay seated on her Lancer, and Weiss allows it?

No, but please tell me how her one comment about him being mature that Kara had to walk back right after the episode aired (weiss isn't attracted to Jaune but maturity itself), and the fact that Ruby had tree therapy so is likely to be more mature herself now means something. Somehow that's greater than the entirety of the partnership slow burn that is WR.

I understand it's not the super dramatic omg i love you of Bees, but neither Weiss nor Ruby are Blake and Yang, and the would have a different relationship, and expecting the same bombastic over the top love story for them is silly.

I love these idiots

She made him a memorial or helped make one for Ruby. Look at how they interact. These two idiots. I love them.

Bedroom adjacent eyes from Robyn to Qrow. Or janitor’s closet eyes. They’re not picky.

I also like how WR are standing together and the helps to bring the inner monologues to the fore and point to WR. Also like that Jaune has dropped back so Weiss is standing next to Ruby as she should.

Wait a minute..what’s that I see? Let’s move the camera a little to the right and past Jaune…

My god…I knew it

Reblogging this because I've never been more right. Jailbirds is basically canon in my mind and you will never convince me otherwise.

No one outside his family has ever been so invested in Qrow and his wellbeing before. I love them.

No maria in the trailer makes it a 0/10 though.

Transmigration 4 -A chord of three strands…

An offer is made, while various plots are carried out. All roads lead to Beacon, but the paths there twist, and wind in unexpected ways. Still if all paths converge…

I wasn't going to have Vernal regrow her hair but then that madlad hiru https://twitter.com/Hiru3152 drew this, and gentlemen we were ROBBED! So she'll be regrowing her hair.

For now this is my last bit of pre done content. I'll try to get more done, but honestly I expect to get very little done while I deal with this staph infection. It's been wild man.

Resident RWBY 3 - Motivational Mansions

Jaune is rescued in a sense as Alpha team continues to explore the mansions to discover its secrets. Meanwhile a meetup is planned between a trio as Yang finally gets Blake name from her in return for agreeing to assist her with a project. Hopefully it doesn't lead to any shenanigans!

Promptmas 19 - Blindly Seeking

Summer was nervous. Just a bit. This was her first date since her divorce, and she’d accepted it mostly to get out of the house, and because her daughters had asked her to at least try. 

Hopefully this blind date would go better than the last few. As soon as she saw her date she knew it was going to lead to either the best night of her life, or the worst. Time to roll the dice.

Happy Promtpmas @erros429 !

Resident RWBY 1 -Making a Mockery...

Alpha team has arrived to the dreaded mansion after trying to find the rest of Bravo Team. If only they would take it more seriously…for Winter's sake.

Sorry about the lack of updates. No one noticed but hey. At any rate

Promptmas is coming along. An index is already out under my ao3 so you can skip around to days or pairings you're interested in. The first comes out thursday night (technically Dec 1st according to ao3).

A killer inspiration -kofi request 1 shot

“So if you were going to kill someone, metaphorically, how would you go about it?” Pyrrha asked offhandedly, ready for him to sputter and make up an excuse to leave. 

Instead without missing a beat Whitley replied. “A small shot of air between the toes. It would look like a heart attack unless they were looking for it, and most morticians wouldn’t bother unless there was a reason.”

Oh. There it was. She felt a flush reach her cheeks, and her heart beat in a way it hadn’t outside of her job in years. How…wonderful. 

Maybe she’d stay, and see this date through after all.
