One thing that always feels so funny for me when it comes to the Rosebird Parents Theory isn’t when people simply disagree with the theory, but rather people apparently seeing the prospect of a ‘Raven is Ruby’s real father’ reveal to be this totally unthinkable thing and how could anyone ever think this could happen?!
Because once you get past the whole ‘two ladies making a baby’ hurtle, Raven being Ruby’s dad really fits into so many well-known fantasy/sci-fi tropes. Many of which RWBY notably has not done yet, or have already been tied to Raven herself.
I mean, the mysterious villainous and/or anti-heroic loner with ties to the family pulling an ‘I am your Father’ reveal on the protagonist? That’s a fucking CLASSIC. Hell, let’s consider a few things about Raven:
Tumblr media
Big, intimidating helmet.
Tumblr media
Clear Samurai inspiration.
Tumblr media
Wields a katana-like sword that technically has an energy blade (dust=energy) which is generally RED-colored.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Possesses mysterious and terrible over-worldly powers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Has a mysterious past tied to our protagonist’(s) family.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Was probably in love with our protagonist’s (apparently) dead mother.
Tumblr media
Yeah I’d say Raven makes for a pretty good Darth Vader-expy.*
Beyond that specific case, we’ve already seen the story connect Raven to a BUNCH of ‘mysterious and angsty deadbeat dad who left their kid for unclear reasons’ tropes when it comes to Yang. Why not have those apply to Ruby as well? People have been clamoring for years about wanting to see Summer’s narrative dynamic with Yang explored as much as the one she has with Ruby, so why not have the reverse be true with Raven and Ruby as well?
After all, it seems that the story has now given Ruby a reason to seek Raven for answers just as Yang once did.
And as I’ve noted in previous Rosebird Parents posts, No I don’t believe Raven also being Ruby’s deadbeat dad would be somehow ‘redundant’. Particularly because the context is completely different: Yang has known that Raven is her birth-mother for most of her life, whereas Ruby would only just now be finding out that Raven is her birth-father. Far from being redundant, this would allow the story to explore two very different responses of kids to an absent parent: One who has had to live with the knowledge of that absent parent for years, and one who hasn’t and has to deal with this NEW information suddenly getting dropped on her.
Plus, as I alluded to earlier, it’s rather notable that RWBY hasn’t done some big ‘dramatic parent reveal’, given how much of a staple it is to the genre. And given how reimagining, twisting and flipping classic and well-worn fairytale/folklore/fantasy tropes (often via playing with gender-roles) is basically RWBY’s bread and butter at this point, I’d say giving the series heroine an ‘I am your father’ reveal from a woman would fit PERFECTLY in this series.
And if you’re going to ask ‘but how do two ladies make baby?!?’,
Raven can be intersex. Boom. Done.
Alternatively, magic.
As an aside, yes Summer being trans is a perfectly viable alternative. I just think logistically speaking, Raven being intersex and being Ruby’s ‘father’ makes a dramatic reveal a bit more streamlined. Also, the idea of Raven managing to be BOTH a deadbeat mom AND a deadbeat dad is just too funny XD
*Of course, this comparison gets even more fun when we consider Summer having her own Vader-parallels, ie; Summer almost certainly being taken by Salem and given what we can probably assume to be a Vader-esque makeover via grimm-hybridization in setup for a big reveal. So when we combine this with Raven, I think we can view what happened on their last mission as ‘What if Padme/Obi-wan got turned into Vader INSTEAD of Anakin?’ Like Raven in the present is basically Anakin doing Obi-wan’s traumatized hermit shtick, except all angry and edgy because it’s still Anakin.

The way Ruby looks at Weiss when she says they're not friends is absolutely heartbreaking:
Tumblr media
Just a second before, she was looking confidently at Jackass, but then, Weiss says they're not friends- and you know, you just KNOW, Ruby is reminded to their time at Beacon, where Weiss would deny they're friends every time Ruby referred to them as such, and she absolutely can't believe it.
She can't believe that after everything they've veen through together, Weiss would still deny their friendship. She's so surprised and shocked and hurt, but then, Weiss calls them Family. She openly tells her abusive father that these people are so important to her, they're more family to her than him. And just look at Ruby's face after:
Tumblr media
She is So Happy and PROUD of Weiss, and so honored to be a part of her family. I just can't, this is such an important moment. Even if you don't ship Whiterose, it's undeniable that Ruby Loves Weiss, they're Best Friends, and none of them would ever dare deny that again.
