@ blake friend you're a bitch and also liable for assault occasioning grevious bodily harm both in criminal and tort jurisdiction IF you let Daniel cut his hair. The ball is in your court. Godspeed.

I feel kinda bad for flooding you with asks...but like I said I cant help myself, makes me feel better knowing you dont mind though. Anyways how about one of Yang's old signal "buddies" (boy or girl) just openly hitting on Yang and making her a little uncomfortable with everything they say to her, causing Blek to get protective, especially when they start actually touching Yang. (Sorry I just really really really enjoy this headcanon)

Not going to lie, I enjoy this headcanon too.

So have some badass partners, some absolute assholes who can’t take no for an answer and some confident bees 😊

“Why don’t you show me all of that fun you blondes have, eh?”

Yang growled under her breath and tried to shift away from the boy next to her. Jett had always been persistent but this was a new level of stubborn, even for him.

“I said no, Jett.” Yang said simply, brushing past Jett and his team, planning to walk away until she felt a hand circle her wrist, stopping her in her tracks. She inhaled deeply and released it. They were in a public place and as a student of Beacon Academy, she knew that she was pretty much a representative of the school. Getting caught in a fight wouldn’t be a good look.

“Jett. You know that I fully capable of kicking your ass several times over.” Yang warned, glaring at him as her eyes shifted to red. “So I recommend that you let me go.”

“You really think that’s possible when his team’s right here?” Laughed one of his teammates. She really couldn’t be bothered to lean the bastard’s name. It’s not like she planned on getting to know any of them after this. “Damn Jett, you were right. Talk about a dumb, blonde bim-“

The sudden sound of metal hitting a brick wall made them all turn their heads.

“I assure you that Yang is still capable of kicking all of your asses several times over, even when you fight as a team.” Blake said quietly, shifting Gambol Shroud and running her fingers along the blade in a very pointed manner before sheathing it as Yang bit back a smirk. “So for your own wellbeing, I recommend that you let her go… Jiff, right?”

“It’s Jett!” He dropped Yang’s wrist and stepped towards Blake. Yang shook her head, knowing that it was going to take a little more than that to intimidate either her or Blake.

“Considering the fact that you’re harassing my partner, I couldn’t care less what your name is.” Blake said with narrowed eyes. “Here’s what’s going to happen; you’re going to apologise and then, you’re going to run away with your tail between your legs as you realise that you’re batting way out of your league.”

“I’d listen to her, Jett.” Yang grinned sharply. “The girl tends to be right most of the time. I mean… I chose her for a reason.” She added, sending Blake a playful wink. She smirked when Blake arched her brows elegantly.

“Really?” Blake asked as she strolled through the group of boys, completely ignoring their protests as she pointedly shoulder checked them. “Because I’m pretty sure you’re the one who’s right most of the time, little miss future valedictorian.”

“Aw, Blake!” Yang said, placing her hand over her heart as the boys looked at each other in confusion. “You’re making me blush! Ugh! I think I feel a swoon coming on!”

“I assure, most beloved, that I will catch each time that you fall!” Blake crowed, just as dramatically as Yang. “For what kind of gentlewoman would I be if I failed to catch such a beautiful and intellectual damsel?”

Yang grinned and allowed herself to fall into Blake arms in an over exaggerated swoon, covering her eyes as Blake effortlessly held her up.

“Hey!” Jett snarled, storming over to them. “We were in the middle of a conversati-Ugh!” He let out a grunt when Yang’s foot collided with his solar plexus.

“And now we’re in the middle of a fight.” Yang smirked. Eh, being a representative was boring. At least she and Blake would be in detention together.

“More like an ass kicking.” Blake laughed, shifting so that she and Yang were back to back between the group of four now very offended boys. “There’s no way that these guys can offer any sort of challenge. Look at them! A bunch of soft whelps. It’ll be like crushing a can of pop.”

“Have I told you that I love it when you’re feisty?” Yang yelled as she ducked under a fist and sent the guy sprawling over her back to be met by Blake’s foot colliding with his chest. She heard the sound of one of Blake’s opponents hitting the ground shortly after. She caught the foot that was aimed at her head and sent a strike to the back of his knee, forcing him to collapse to his knees before kicking him between his shoulder blades. “Because I totally do.”

“You hear that, Jett? She loves it when I’m feisty.”

Yang turned around to see Jett swinging at Blake with his fists as she kept just out reach, a smug expression on her face. Yang quirked an eyebrow. Blake wasn’t striking back. She was toying with him.

“Don’t play with his fragile, little heart, Blake.” Yang called, grinning as she leaned against a nearby pole. “You’re giving the poor boy false hope.”

“Fine. But only for you, sweetheart.” Yang pretended to fan herself as though flattered. Jett did not seem to like this and charged at Blake, who rotated to the side and swept his legs out from under him. As he crashed to the ground, she very calmly pressed her heel into his chest pointedly. “Now… about that very sincere and genuine apology that you’re going to give her…”

“I’m not going t-augh!” He yelled out as Blake dug her heel in slightly. Not enough to do damage but just enough to get her point across. “Okay, I’m sorry! I am really, really sorry!”

“Fine.” Yang shrugged, glowering down at him. “Just don’t ever speak to me again. I won’t be so kind or patient next time.”

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

“Thanks for the assist, partner.”

“Oh please.” Blake rolled her eyes, playfully hip checking Yang as she smiled up at her. “You could have taken them without me.”

“Uh, duh. Obviously I could have.” Yang winked cheekily at her friend, draping her arm across her shoulders and pulling her in. “But I’m not going to say no to backup. Besides, it’s not like you were fighting my battles for me. We help each other… like partners should. So thank you, I guess. For not pulling the whole “damsel in distress” card on me.”

“Of course not!” Blake snorted indignantly, her arm curling around Yang’s waist. “You’re capable of taking care of yourself. If you have to fight a battle, then I’m going to fight it with you. Not for you.”

“That’s what being partners is about, I guess.” Yang smiled softly at her friend. “Supporting each other. Working with each other.”

“Yeah.” Blake agreed quietly. “We’re lucky to have a partnership that works well.”

“Yeah.” Yang said softly, affectionately placing her head against Blake’s as the slightly shorter woman, in a rare show of affection that was slowly becoming more frequent around Yang, rested her head on Yang’s shoulder. “We are.”

They didn’t fight each other’s battle for the other.

They didn’t try to stop the other from fighting her own battle.

Instead, when they fought; they fought together. They worked together to achieve a goal and that was why they worked so well together.

It wasn’t one that guarded the other. No. Instead, they supported each other.

a thing about rw.by

this is a whatever. not a meta or a theory or really a well-thought out critique. if anything I guess im just voicing my frustrations. if you like rw.by, please, please dont read this. you wont like what i have to say and i am in no way looking to upset rw.by fans, i just need a good old fashioned shout into the void. theres some things i liked in here too that actually came out whilst writing aha, so its not all my bullshit.

my main gripe with rw.by at the moment is the lack of character development for ruby rose. you know, the main character? which i think is the reason why my heart breaks a little that i dont love it as much as i used to. i identified so much with ruby. a little girl with a heart too big for her brain, who just wants to protect and help, having to come to terms with the fact that the real world doesnt make noble goals like that easy? thats my childhood right there. 

the latter is something that hasnt been touched on as far as ruby rose’s character development goes until this season, and even then it hasnt really been touched, or lightly brushed, its been mentioned. ruby thought saving the world wouldnt take that long, that the world wasnt as big as it is; she apologises to jaune for dragging jnpr along with her. all INCREDIBLE MOMENTS I was really happy about, but they werent expanded upon. it was like the writers wanted to hit a checklist of ‘make sure the audience knows ruby is naive and sad but hopeful’ rather than making it more engaging to learn about as aspects of her character, which is just lazy storytelling. 

show, dont tell. they’ve done that with juane. they’ve shown that he’s upset about phyrra’s death, they’ve shown him get mad at the situation and with qrow. he’s never outright voiced these things about his character like ruby has about herself, and we all knew she was a little naive. season one, weiss accusing ruby of being a bad leader and them showing the audience ruby trying to get better was so much better than just having her be like ‘im a little naive but ill fight for the greater good!’ like she has so blatantly been this series. 

like, why would she not get mad at her own uncle for keeping her in the dark about someone wanting to kill her?? ruby’s what, 16 at this point? 15 at the least? would she not at least be a little bit annoyed, and would that not show some character growth on her part if she was? my naivety ended, personally, when i stopped trying to be so dang optimistic, (this can become more complicated to explain, as obviously you still have to have hope in the world while keeping a level head and ruby is still young, but, thats another conversation) and if that moment hasnt happened for ruby after 1. penny dying 2. phyrra dying 3. her uncle keeping important information from her 4. her sister having her arm sliced off 5. her friends being split up from her 6. nearly dying to a foe way more powerful than she is, even with her silver eyes -- then when?! 

and lets just get it out of the way -- i dont fucking hate juane. i really, really like him as a character but i just fucking wish he got less of a spotlight because so much more attention is being payed to him and his journey and how everything affects him over ruby. it just is, and it sucks. i like theorising about his semblance, im pretty certain he’s really fucking powerful just like ruby is, but if he unlocks and masters his thing before ruby does i will be so pissed, and the only reason i say that is because it feels like thats the way its headed. 

juane is a lovely character. he’s heroic, he’s actually quite brave and smart, and he’s a good fucking friend. he’s a brilliant support character. but for the love of all that is holy, focus more on ruby when they’re in the same scene. about how he’s helping her on her journey, why could they not have had one conversation about phyrra on screen is my question. they did it really, really well it season one, and i was very loud about the fact that no, juane doesnt get more screen time or attention, but during season four it feels like he -- like everyone that isnt ruby or the other three titular characters -- has over ruby. 

just, please, rwby season five -- give ruby rose more character development. prove me fucking wrong and reveal that you were playing the long game, please.

also; i havent watched the last two episodes, but if it turns out the ‘’’cure’’’ to yangs ptsd is a new arm. fuck, man. please no. but i cant really comment on that yet so, we’ll see. i actually, up until seeing the preview for her spraying her arm and all that, really liked yangs journey. and taiyang is such a sweetheart i adore him. he was so patient and gentle and loving with yang, a few moments had me cringing but overall, an enjoyable part of the season. i hope yang gets to punch adam in the face. 

blake’s journey is one ive enjoyed also. and tbh, i think sun following her and thinking she was on a personal mission to take down the white fang is a very sun thing to do, and i think blake surprising us all by saying no im not gonna do that is a very blake thing as well. sun is spontaneous, carefree to a point and very dedicated to taking down bad guys. projecting that onto blake was his mistake, and im really glad that blake is the one to voice the audiences frustrations at how annoying it is that he follows and harrasses her into taking action (even when a part of us knows that she should -- a really, really well written aspect of blakes journey actually, i really liked it) (sun really needs to have a ‘okay im being a creep im really sorry’ moment but i dont see it happening. again; prove me wrong, guys.)

blake so, so needed to see her family. im glad she could see that and im not surprised that she wanted to run under the guise of ‘resting’ like. come on blake, we all know you’re scared shitless. her characterisation was on point, probably the most out of the four girls. blake was a+ in this season and im really happy about that, come to think of it aha. i hope she gets to punch adam too.

weiss im satisfied with too, although i really wish that ironwood and her got to talking. he didnt necesarily need to save the day for her, i would think that a guy fighting her own battles -- even if it is a ‘good one’ like ironwood -- would irk her, so it wouldve been nice for them to talk. (im still fucking salty about juanes ‘you can have her’ to neptune like lmao fuck off you fucking dudebros THAT WAS SO ANNOYING anyway) weiss being able to call off the thing she summoned before it hurt the lady would be a sign that yeah she’s getting strong but she’s learning control, so. shrug. 

papa schnee is an asshole, where is mama schnee?? and i FUCKING LOVED THE PLOT POINT THAT HER DAD MARRIED INTO THE FAMILY. please let this be an opening for a badass but subdued for Reasons mama schnee (although my hope is not that high)

my main, number one, OVERALL problem with rwby since the end of s3 to s4 is that they dont give the characters that need and deserve the most time and attention just that. i know its a small crew, i know that what they do and the time they do it in is amazing and admirable, and i do admire it and applaud it, they work so fucking hard and deserve praise for that. but they dont use their time wisely when it comes to assigning it in the narrative. and thats more of a writing issue, anyway. 

and another fucking thing. the majority of the interesting characters that arent the main four and are alive and have been developed or made mysterious enough to warrant interest from the audience are fucking men. and yeah, no duh jade, welcome to every piece of media for fucking ever. qrow is an asshole that everyone loves, raven is probably going to turn out to be a bitch -- the majority of salem’s ‘court’ or whatever are dudes. ironwood. ren got backstory over nora. blakes dad. adam taurus. for all that i love him, fucking juane. did we learn anything about phyrra that wasnt her explicitly telling us her backstory? no. we felt sad that she died because of her connections with other people, but, lets face it, mostly juane. im still adamant that she didnt die just for him, that she knew there was a bigger picture and genuinely loved him, but from a narrative pov him and his reactions was a bigger focus point especially in the aftermath with season 4. 

(ruby fucking unlocked an ANCIENT POWER BECAUSE SHE SAW PHYRRA DIE AND SHE DOESNT GET TO HAVE THE SAME EMOTIONAL SCENE ABOUT IT THAT JUANE GOT??? PLS LAST TWO EPISODES. GIVE HER THAT AT LEAST. PROVE ME WRONG.) 

i remember at a rwby panel at rtx one year, when asked about making a series that has four female protaganists, the guys said that they didnt see it that way, that they were just writing a story about a bunch of kids and yeah, i get that. but its not. 

its a story about four strong, tested, young women and they need to stop being oblivious to that because the narrative is fucking suffering.
