In RWBY weapons are a part of a person, an extension of yourself, as Ruby puts it in V1. So, a weapon can say a lot about a person in how it appears and what it's used for.
Looking at Crescent Rose compared to our other main characters' weapons and it's immediately one that stands out from the size alone, it immediately draws our attention, it usually takes up the screen.
Tumblr media
Like Ruby, it's striking, awe inspiring and larger than life. It's beautiful, resilient and strong, but evolves to be more adaptable during the Atlas Arc, when Ruby herself has to be more flexible and think outside the box, and her worldview is consistently challenged. It's also very easily the most intricate and complicated design, by her own admission:
"I guess I did go a little overboard in designing it..."
Which, while on the surface means it looks cool and flashy, it's also incredibly complex, just like Ruby.
And as we know from V9, a weapon like that would also be a heavy one to carry at all times too, and it weighs on her. Just like being "Ruby Rose" means to shoulder all the responsibilities and entanglements that come with being who she is, a huntress, a leader, a hero, a spark of hope and light who inspires others. In the end her resolve as a huntress and in who she is, and her purpose, is renewed and stronger than ever before, and wields her weapon once more with confidence.
That doesn't mean her burdens have gotten any lighter though, in fact upon returning to Vacuo, because of her message, all of humanity is now looking to her. No matter how strong, confident and resolved she is, that's a heavy weight for one person to carry alone.
Which brings me to Oscar's weapon, the Long Memory. Which is a cane, smaller, simple and straightforward, but has it's own hidden light stored inside. A cane is meant to take someone's weight by design, that's it's purpose. To be something that's leant on as a crutch when you're hurting to alleviate the pain by taking the pressure off yourself, so moving forward is made easier. Because everyone needs that support sometimes and it's okay to be weak, it doesn't make you lesser, it just makes you human. And it is incredibly human for us to care for and lean on one another for support. That vulnerability leads to our greatest strength as humans.
Tumblr media
The one who carries the heaviest weapon vs The one who has a weapon that can be leant on to take pressure off yourself. Ruby who carries a heavy burden and Oscar being someone that can be leant on for support. ooooooohhhh the cymbal ism of it all.

I ship them to hell and back! Funny, I wasn’t that involved in this ship at the start, I liked it, sure, but I preferred other ships. And now it’s my RWBY OTP! Haha, why? Well, one is their growing chemistry. Volume 7 framing them together along with Bumbleby, the fact that Oscar immediately goes to Ruby and not his own team when he learns of the party, the fact that Ruby is clearly affected by Oscar’s opinions on her plan, the bumping into each other straight out from a shojo anime
The fact that Ruby NEVER doubted Oscar’s identity as his own person And, even beyond all of that, I love the community it has! It seems to be, from the people I’ve interacted with at least, that it’s a chill and friendly fandom full of nice, thoughtful people And contrast that with the haters it gets, and so THE PURE SPITE FUELS ME to continue shipping them in hell and I so far the show is validating the shit out of me, and that makes me all the happier for the wholesome and not so wholesome reasons! XD drinking haters tears
Send me a ship and I will explain why I do or don’t ship it

oopsies! i accidentally deleted the last anon while trying to answer it but it was something along the lines of
stop co-opting songs from the canon couple, it's weird
I assume you're talking about this post, and to that I say I can't 'co-opt' from canon couples because RG is a canon couple, you silly goose!! Just like BB and Renora who were the other two ships focused on in that scene!
We start with the sister reunion:
Tumblr media
Then we get friends/teammates reunion:
Tumblr media
Then big focus on the bumbleby reunion:
Tumblr media
Then the tease to renora:
Tumblr media
and then big focus on rosegarden!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Which, if you remember, is a direct parallel to one of their earlier scenes back in v5, just reversed!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, I did some googling and can't find crwby anywhere mentioning that Treasure is only about one specific pairing. So until they come forward and clarify, it is up to interpretation! Hope you have a good day and are looking forward to the RG reunion hug as much as I am!! 🤗💕

You Don't See Me: Dojo Scene vs. Ruby's Breakdown
This episode was very powerful and was a long time coming. I don't have a lot of words in me to talk about it, but I did want to try and line up the parallels between these two scenes because the comparisons are very hard to ignore.
Lindsay Jones has gone on record multiple times stating that Ruby is someone whose "compartmentalization and internalization of her grief is what might eventually destroy her.” And we saw the dam break both figuratively (with Ruby's outburst) and literally (with the paper houses being flooded and washed away).
I had very few doubts in my mind about RG being endgame before this episode, but this volume continues to hammer it home despite, but also because of Oscar's absence. Ruby, who reached this breaking point by never feeling seen or supported by her team or her friends because there was always something else that had to take priority. Someone else who's feelings mattered more.
Ruby, who has only ever talked about her grief on screen without being interrupted once.
Oscar who was the only damn person to do it. To see through her mask and acknowledge just how hard this all is on her. I just. I gotta let the parallels speak for themselves.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oscar: But this? Who would ask for this? - Ruby: Why do I have to be the leader anyway?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ruby: If it had been me instead, I know they would have kept fighting too. No matter how dangerous it was. So that's what I choose to do. To keep moving forward. - Ruby: No time, right? Gotta get home! Gotta help Jaune! Gotta find someone who isn't just going to screw everything up! Gotta stay positive, right? Smiles all around!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ruby: We just have to press on and- Oscar: How can you be so confident? - Blake: Guys, I know things are bad but- Ruby: Shut up. Don't... do that. Just don't.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oscar: How do you handle all of this? // How are you okay with any of this?! - Ruby: Why are you asking me? Because I'm the leader? Because I'm just supposed to have something to say? Cause I don't. I mean, why do I have to be the leader anyway? Why do I always have to be the one to pick people up?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oscar: This must be really hard on her too... - Ruby: What about me?!
That last one paralleled to the new song lyric:
No, you don't see me anymore
Her friends and her team do care about her. I'm not arguing that. But none of them have been able to offer Ruby the support she's needed. None of them have been able to foster an environment where she feels safe enough to open up about these things. There have been a few times she tried but every single time she got cut off or interrupted by something more important or someone else's feelings who mattered more. She has been dealing with her own kind of loneliness all this time. All alone in crowded rooms.
Oscar was the only one that saw it right away. The only one that brought it up. That pushed her to talk about it. That has stood up for her time and time again when these instances keep happening.
And for now he's not around.
that! reunion! hug! is gonna! hit! like a! bus!!!!!!!!

I can’t yet imagine their wedding at this stage, but I can imagine how much embarrassment can be at someone else’s wedding!

Day 6: The Hound / Final Battle
And so we wrap up my final art piece of the week with my favorite of the lot. Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Had a lot of fun with this one, got to try out some new things.
This may or may not be my last piece of the week so I just want to say thanks to everyone who tuned in and left such nice comments, and to the others out there who also made content. This was the first ship week I've ever participated in and it's been a lot of fun ^.^
Have a nice day!

So ...about "The Warrior in the Woods"...
Okay so this morning, this squiggle meister took a read at a preview for one of the stories that would be featured in the upcoming RWBY: Fairy Tales of Remnant set to release this year September 15th. It’s titled “The Warrior in the Woods”. If you haven’t read the small preview of the tale for yourself, you can find it right here on kobo.com where you can also preorder a digital copy of the book.
Speaking of, does anyone know where one can preorder a hardcopy version of this book? Or do I have to wait till it comes out in September to order the hard copy version then? Of all the upcoming RWBY-related projects that I was most looking forward to, it’s definitely this one and I’d definitely love to own a tangible copy of the book for myself if it’s available.
Anyways let’s talk about “The Warrior in the Woods” story specifically. Obviously I read it and without spoiling much from the short story, all I can say is that I definitely loved it. I think right out the gate, I’m going to peg this one as one of my favourites of the fairy tales purely because I found it to be a rather sweet one.
[SPOILERS AHEAD! NUFF SAID]
Keep reading
