RWBY Fanfic Recommendation List
Fics that have really struck me, vaguely organized by ship and/or topic.
Bumbleby (Blake x Yang)
first off, basically anything by pugoata. She's the goddess-empress of the Bees. I'm gonna give particular props to Banshee, as it was the first longer fic and AU that I read, and it really opened up my mind to what fanfic could be.
You're a Mountain, Full of Glory - a ski/snowboard with amazing characterization and a closing scene that will live rent-free in my head forever, in a good way.
They Can't Steal the Love You're Born to Find - childhood soulmates repeatedly torn apart and reconnecting, with courtroom drama. One of the most angst-ridden Bee fics I've ever read.
Fucking In Love - pornstar AU that gets right to the sex and slow burns the romance. Hot as hell while also full of tenderness and pining.
Midnight Menagerie - exotic dancer, kinda-cyberpunk dystopia AU. Edges you forever with the sex, earns all the angst tags, and we are majorly trusting @kaelidascope when she promises an amazing happy ending.
Bite Me Like You Love Me - one of the hottest Bee smutfics I've ever read.
You and Me - Blake discovers she's pregnant the day Yang goes MIA on a mission and struggles through being a single mother teaching their child about her amazing other mom. Short, happy ending, amazingly sweet.
WhiteRose (Ruby x Weiss)
The Foxtrot - Ruby and Weiss repair their broken lives after the war. It's one of the most popular RWBY fics of all time for a reason.
Can You See My Strings?/Deja Vu - premium mentally ill Weiss escapes from child abuse angst, with a happy ending if you read the sequel.
But Your Voice Used to Be Mine - Weiss escapes abuse to join RBY's punk band whose smash hit she inspired.
Just One Cigarette - Ruby and Weiss have a little meetup roleplay and it's really good.
Faunus Weiss (generally major themes of struggling with internal and external racism)
Craving the Sky - Weiss has painfully concealed her faunus heritage while she tries to earn her father's love. The support of her team, and the love of Blake and Yang (BeesSchnees) help her soar on her own.
Black Swan Theory - faunus Weiss struggles to recover from child abuse and navigate a deeply racist society while building a relationship with Pyrrha (Schneekos).
Clipped Wings - secret faunus Weiss, dealing with racism and abuse from Jacques, this time slow burning towards Pollination.
Villainesses
Melting Glace - Cinder and Neo find love, and no redemption, in the trauma of failing to destroy Beacon. Will make you cheer for them to win by the end.
Rise from the Ashes - Cinder has a Vader moment and saves Ruby from Salem, and Ruby's pure heart helps her heal, and their adversarial relationship turn to affection. Peak RWBY enemies-to-lovers.
Odds & Ends
The Bermuda Triangle - great modern AU BeesSchnees that gets filthy hot at the end.
Midnight Rose - Summer rescues and adopts Cinder out of Atlas. Their relationship, and Cinder coming to love the Xiao Long-Rose family, is beautifully depicted. Still very much ongoing (no ships as of yet).
Fallen Maiden - Jaune dies protecting Pyrrha at Beacon, and the Fall Maiden power remains split. Will Pyrrha's bloody crusade of vengeance consume her? Or, 'Pyrrha goes full Magneto and fucks Cinder up'.
What's In A Name? - Winter and May grow up together, struggling to cope with their feelings for each other against the background of the Atlas aristocracy.
Red Sky at Night - This excellently-composed fic has a hacked Penny as the primary antagonist of the Beacon arc and builds it to Nuts & Dolts. It captures both Penny's horror at being controlled in her own body and RWBY's fear in fighting a seemingly unstoppable enemy, almost like Terminator vibes, and ultimately takes it to a very sweet relationship.
Linked In Life and Love - I'd be remiss if I didn't mention this one. I really, really love the first act, where Team RWBY sees Blake suffering terribly through a surprise heat cycle and decides that they will all "help" her with it. It's sweet and tender and feels legit for them. I'm not a huge fan of where all the series has gone since, but I would invite anyone to judge that for themselves.
(As I see this getting a decent amount of traffic, I'll just point out that, if it's convinced you [correctly] of my impeccable taste in fanfic, you might want to check out my own RWBY writings)

Weiss: We are not stealing a criminal's weapons!
Ruby: Wouldn't it be cool if I had a big ol' "fuck off" sword?
Blake: Imagine if Jaune had a plasma sword.
Ruby: (Gasps) He'd be unstoppable!
---------------------------------------
Jaune: What's wrong, little squire?
Adrian: (Sniffles) Someone on Ao3 said my Darth Jaune fan-fic was cringe!
Jaune: Aw, there there, buddy...
---------------------------------------
Jaune: I'll be taking THIS now!
Jaune: (Holding red plasma blade) Get ready, Adrian. I'm about to make your fan fiction into FAN FACT!

How would you label/explain the dynamic between each pair of RWBY girls?
Ruby and Yang seem simple on the surface since they're sisters but you throw in Yang being a substitute parent for Ruby for her formative years and then Ruby being team leader it makes things complicated. Right now, I'd say they're mostly normal siblings but with this undercurrent between them where Yang is still worried about Ruby's safety and mental state and Ruby having a need for Yang's approval.
Weiss and Ruby are essentially what you see on the surface. They're good partners and good friends with a strong bond between them. Even if they don't always know how to help each other with their deeper traumas they'll work through it.
Weiss and Yang - I feel like they've been best friends since toward the end of V5. It's a teasing, fun friendship but you get the impression that they're ride or die for each other. Weiss is, of course, so happy that Yang and Blake finally confessed because she's been there for nearly the entire thing.
Blake and Ruby - They haven't interacted a lot but they definitely have mutual respect for each other and I think that in time they'll become even closer since they're pretty much related at this point. I can see them settling into a very friendly sisterly relationship.
Weiss and Blake....There's still some distance there. I know they care about each other but they're not very demonstrative about it but between Weiss standing up for Blake during her talk with Yang in V5 and Blake standing by Weiss' side and holding her hand when she confronted Jacques in V7 you can see that they're family.
And that leaves....
Blake and Yang - Do I really need to say it? Partners to friends to lovers. So much respect, so much admiration, so much LOVE.
Theirs is a relationship that has been tested over and over again and they've fought so hard to be together and are so much stronger for it.
And in combat they're unstoppable, seemingly able to read each others thoughts.

Your thoughts on semblances are fascinating! Have you pondered the possible semblance our favorite war machine magical girl Penny might’ve had? If she’d had the time to discover it for herself. Thoughts on why she didn’t have a semblance?
i think the answer to why she never manifested a semblance is probably right there: she was built to be a weapon of war. the atlesian military built a robotic super-soldier and then gave it the soul of an idealistic young girl who just wanted everyone—including herself—to be safe, free, and happy. she was was kept isolated and taught to expect harsh rejection from anyone who found out she wasn’t a “real girl,” then murdered to make a political statement, then brought back and isolated again and made responsible for the safety of an entire city where civilian self-defense is criminalized. whatever her semblance might have been, penny wasn’t going to find it while being crushed in the jaws of that machine.
this is not true of every character, but it is true of a lot: a character’s semblance often reflects or represents how they deal with problems. when ruby’s on her game, she thinks miles ahead of anyone else and zips around obstacles like they’re not even there—when she isn’t, she falls apart and runs away. yang takes whatever life throws at her and finds strength in adversity through sheer refusal to give up. blake knows how to mask her vulnerability and retreats from things she isn’t ready to face, but when she is ready she’ll fling herself headlong at the problem with everything she has. jaune doesn’t care what happens to him, but he’ll do anything for his friends. ironwood will sacrifice whatever it takes to achieve his ends, no matter the cost. et cetera.
penny is a character so defined by the unstoppable force-meets-immovable object struggle between duty and desire, what she needs to do versus what she wants to do versus what she’s able to do, that i feel any semblance posited for her has to speak to that somehow or another to feel right for her.
how does penny deal with her problems? how does she try to extricate herself from between the rock and the hard place?
tries to have the rock and eat the hard place too, mainly. penny needs to be the protector of mantle and she wants friends, which the protector of mantle “doesn’t have time for,” so she tries to befriend everyone up and down her chain of command. but when the chips are down and penny has to make a choice, she chooses to do what she wants—holds her best friend in her final thoughts so she can say goodbye, rather than take the pragmatic/strategically correct option of giving the magic to weiss.
and. there is also: “let me take the relic to salem, and maybe she will call off her attack on the kingdom.”
penny is at best passively suicidal in v8 and i do think that influences her thinking here, but also—it’s safe to assume team rwby looped jnor in on what went down in ironwood’s office, including salem offering the terms of her siege, because oscar’s response (“i don’t think we can trust salem to actually do that”) suggests awareness of what salem said (“the people of atlas have suffered enough; surrender the lamp and the staff to me, and they needn’t suffer any further.”)
everyone else takes it for granted that salem is lying through her teeth. penny does not. she doesn’t take salem at her word either—maybe she will call off her attack—but she is the only character who even considers that salem might have been honest. as the winter maiden, penny is also the one who gets final say over whether or not that vault is opened, and it is her responsibility to decide. her instinct, in this situation, with this burden on her shoulders, is to spend a lot of time quietly thinking about it in the corner while everyone else quarrels, and then hesitantly question the assumption that salem cannot be negotiated with. oscar shuts that down and yang adds “no one is turning you over to anybody” (notice how penny goes from active subject to passive object there? “let me take the relic to salem” -> “no one’s turning you over.”) so nothing comes of it.
but it’s uh. probably not an accident that Penny Polendina is the first Good Guy to consider taking a risk on salem.
and i think it’s instructive to imagine how things might have gone if penny put her foot down and said no, let’s really talk about this. because “let me take the relic to salem” does not mean “let me deliver the relic to salem on a silver platter and then lie down for cinder fall to kill me” necessarily, penny is thinking in terms of a bargaining chip, and this is penny we’re talking about. penny is not a pushover penny is absolutely, one hundred percent, the kind of person who would have flown up there with the staff and very bluntly demanded to know Why Salem Is Doing This and Will She Really Leave If Penny Gives Her The Staff. and then done her level best to explode the whale if she didn’t find salem’s answers persuasive.
which—bringing this back to the question at hand—is sort of the distilled essence of how penny Deals With Things when she’s acting in accordance with her own best judgment. see also, amity, and “i can fix this,” and holding up an entire satellite on her shoulders.
she does not do half measures or harm reduction or damage control; she does i can fix this. she does maybe i can get salem to turn around and leave.
unstoppable force, immovable object.
so what’s her semblance? how do we convey this essence symbolically? (there is the obvious answer of just taking “immovable force” literally, but i don’t think penny would have a combat-oriented semblance for thematic reasons.)
have you ever heard of the pinocchio paradox? it’s a variant of the liar’s paradox (“this sentence is false”) occurring when pinocchio says “my nose grows now”—if it is true, then his nose does not grow, which means he is lying, which means his nose does grow, which means he is telling the truth and so forth. there is, i think, some appealing thematic strings to pluck here in that it’s a fairly common trope in science fiction for artificial intelligences to be stymied by liar’s paradoxes; penny, being a person, would not have this problem. likewise she is honest to a fault whereas pinocchio is, famously, a liar. and infinite regress is an unstoppable force of a kind.
what’s the immovable force? how do you solve the liar’s paradox? there are many ways, some more interesting than others, but one is to reject the bivalent logic and conclude that the statement is neither true nor false. take the excluded middle road. if the unstoppable force is true-false-true-false-true-false in a vicious spiral, the immovable object might be equivocation. maybe. it depends.
i tend to think penny’s semblance would entail splitting the difference in some form or another. the thorny piece for me is deciding in what form and context, because again i think for thematic reasons it can’t be combat-oriented. some way of refusing a fight is conceptually interesting to me; something like creating a space or a moment where violence isn’t just not the answer but isn’t possible. maybe a sort of reverse of gus caspian’s semblance, a wind that banishes volatile feelings and brings emotional clarity. an answer to “i do not like it when friends fight.”

part two
one with self: this technique is taught by rens family for the main part and now ren is the only one who knows how to do it. he goes on to teach it to everyone in his team though. the philosophy is simple for the most part even those with their aura unlocked don't have access to 100% of their power anyways as you naturally reject power coming from parts of yourself that you don't like. by accepting that these parts do exist and are a part of you you gain access to the whole of your soul's power. in time you can shrink or even remove these parts by replacing them with parts of yourself you seek to grow. thus making you a far more capable fighter even if you haven't experienced as much or grown for as long as others. meditation for this one mainly centers around sitting down and calmly sorting through your thoughts and past experiences. breathing exercises help with this. as a result users of this style are far more stable and stoic than others. though they can tend to be slow to react to issues.
Avalonian imperative: a man is measured by the impact they have on another's life. through inspiring others, whether through virtue or vice, their souls begin to send the power that naturally emanates from them to you regardless of distance. providing effectively infinite power though typically less than a soul would produce normally unless they impacted a lot of lives and knew how to atune themselves to the people they impacted. again you have to not only accept the world view of every one of these soul refining methods but also learn to use the power granted by them. The Avilonian imperative is meditated on by reaching the state of avilon, we would call this the flow state, where the world narrows to only the actions you preform allowing you to feel more keenly the connections you have to others. users of this style either become over the top villains sparing all they defeat to help inspire more fear in others to feed their legend and impact on others, or shining knights of the world protecting and helping wherever they can empowering their virtues as they do because the energy feeds into that part of their souls.
team jnpr become the fastest growing team in beacon by use of combining the avilonian imperative with one with self. each side of their new chivalrous refinement style being taught by either ren or jaune. pyrrha starts off getting far more energy than she knows what to do with due to her already global fame and her access to 100% of her soul. but the others quickly catch up as they start helping around beacon and vale and winning in various smaller fighting tournaments held throughout the city or through taking on tasks or challenges for others naturally growing their own souls while increasing the impact they have on other's lives.
rwby on the other hand start learning about sacrifice and learn some of the more esoteric abilities, like weiss learns delayed gratification or investing as a training technique. by agreeing to grow slowly now while in beacon she guarenties that her potential will remain limitless for the future. blake learns specialization by giving up on certain abilities her other abilities and skills increase their growth by orders of magnitude. yang learns to trade pain for power taking blows she could otherwise dodge or block in order to gain aura. effectively making her unstoppable when combined with her semblance. and ruby learns the heroic oath from watching jaune. by swearing to do something she gains greater power in order to complete the task she's sworn to, but it can lead to obsession if she promises something too difficult for her to accomplish quickly. the oath taking up more of her thoughts the more power she gains to accomplish it.
thoughts on the idea of soul refining and any ideals or philosophies you think would work to refine a soul? also thoughts on the Avilonian imperative? really just tell me what you think of everything lol
These are all really good ideas for explaining how Aura works. And need to be shared.

Hi ! Can I request TBP boys HCs x reader ( GN if possible ) who knows martial arts / knows how to defend themselves ? Thanks for reading man 🫶
Teehee I really like this one!!!
TW! Cursing, name calling. that’s like literally all-
TBP boys x reader who can defend themselves
Vance Hopper
⋆your the first person the ever try and defend yourself with him.
⋆most people just accept that there gonna end up in the hospital and others beg for mercy
⋆but when you stood your ground and fought against him he was shocked.
⋆he definitely tried picking fights with still to try and prove he was better
⋆but after finally seeing that you weren’t gonna back down from a fight and let someone beat you around like a pile of rocks he found some respect for you.
⋆no longer trying to fight you but still throwing insults your way every know and then
“Watch where you’re walking dipshit.” And then you’d say
“watch who your talking to dipshit” and he’d just stay silent and not make eye contact with you at all.
⋆maybe yall would become friends at some point 🤷🏻 but it’s definitely not him asking
Finney Blake
⋆we all know Finney was incredibly weak before The Grabber incident
⋆and even after The Grabber he still wasn’t that strong
⋆so when you stood up to him he was definitely scared.
⋆but I don’t really see Finney doing anything to start a fight
⋆he’s a sweet boy!
⋆but if anything did happen he wouldn’t know what to do
⋆PLEASE DONT FIGHT THIS LIL BOY😭🙏🏻
⋆Finney is definitely gonna get patched up by Gwen
⋆and if Gwen tries going after you after the fight with Finney it’s just gonna be the other way around and she’s gonna be patched up by Finney
⋆I feel like if he even has the courage to come up to you after the fight, he’d ask you teach him how to defend himself.
Robin Arellano
⋆was shocked the same as Vance when you stood up and fought back.
⋆but he liked you for that.
⋆I feel like maybe he asked to be friends and yall would practice together.
⋆yall also play fight a lot!
⋆helping each other patch up after fights🔛🔝
⋆yall tag team on the other people who try to fight yall
⋆you could be at school and yall are on different sides of the school and he’d come running to join the fight with you
⋆you guys will win every fight together. 2/1, 2/2, 2/3, 2/4! Yall always win
⋆unstoppable duo
Billy Showalter
⋆I feel like he might now how to fight a bit-
⋆but definitely can’t fight like you.
⋆your fighting skills are obviously good and like we all know— you literally stand higher then Vance himself and like Gwen said “Robins the toughest kid in school since The Grabber got PinBall Vance Hopper” and you still stand higher then the both of the boys and hold your tittle well.
⋆ANYWAYS-
⋆I feel like Billy is the kid to get his lunch money stolen and steal others lunch money as well-
⋆so if yall ever got into a fight it was because of that💀
⋆you definitely had to chase him around the school in order to beat his ass but it didn’t take you long to catch up to him🤗
Griffin stagg
⋆okay but like- WHY TF ARE YOU TRYING YO FIGHT THAT LIL BOY?
⋆he’s the kid getting his lunch money stolen leave him alone😭
⋆all ima say is he doesn’t know how to fight at all-
⋆you could flick him and he’d break a bone-
Bruce Yamada
⋆same with Billy I feel like Bruce knows how to fight a tiny bit more then Billy himself does.
⋆but to be honest- I don’t see Bruce getting into a fight nor trying to make one-
⋆we’ve seen him and he’s super sweet and supportive
⋆BUT- if he EVER did get into a fight with you he’d be scared and I feel like he’d try and apologize and tell you he didn’t wanna fight at all
⋆that don’t matter tho 🤗
⋆after the fight and AFTER he was all patched up, he’d come to you and apologize again tell you he sorry and didn’t wanna fight😭
⋆poor Bruce

Bet you can’t criticize this FRWBY post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/RWBYcritics/s/QuqWXp1RMQ
I bet I can!
So it starts off by saying that the Malachite twins as Cinder's sidekicks, having Yang listen to Blake's backstory instead of Sun, and having Roman be Ozpin's vessel are good changes. Except none of them are, whatsoever.
The Malachite twins are an unnecessary addition to the story. As of V6, they exist as another instance in which the majority of Fixing RWBY revolves solely around Roman.
Yang listening to Blake's backstory gives no opportunity for character development between Sun and Blake, nevermind the fact that Blake opens up to Sun because he is a Faunus.
And lastly, Roman as Ozpin's vessel. This is purely about the white guy Celtic Phoenix adores replacing a PoC character. Now, the post you link whines about "character bloat" (while acknowledging Fixing RWBY dragging up Cardin fucking Winchester of all characters), except Roman's role in both the original show and Fixing RWBY highlights the idiocy of said complaint. Roman in the original show is a minor character. He's a villain of one story arc, then no longer plays a role beyond that story arc. That's not "character bloat", that's how stories work.
But people who write and adore stories like Fixing RWBY want "character bloat", in that they want all of the white male characters to permeate the story and remain constant fixtures of it. Roman isn't a fitting vessel for Ozpin whatsoever, nor does Fixing RWBY even utilize the contrast between Roman (a largely selfish individual who only gives a crap about himself and Neo) and Ozpin (someone who isn't "morally grey" no matter how much douchebags want to feel smart, but someone genuinely trying to do good despite his mistakes and flaws). Heck, Fixing RWBY's Roman Torchwick isn't Ozpin, nor is it even Roman Torchwick—he's just a bland jerkass who's made special so the actual protagonists of the show have to be subservient to him, with the main character treated as his sidekick.
It also completely misses the point of why a new character became Ozpin's vessel, rather than an established character—so said character could be inexperienced and untrained, not overshadowing the actual protagonists. In the case of Fixing RWBY, the entire point is to have Roman be treated as the main character even by the titular heroines of the show.
Then the post you link to claims the show better develops the characters, except it fucking doesn't. It wastes time on minor and inconsequential characters (because the creator likes any white male character more than the lead heroines). The perfect example of this is how the post fawns over Vernal, a character who's written to be Celtic Phoenix's underage-fanservice cultural-appropriation daughteru, a character whom the protagonists barely know as an enemy and then come to care about more than their own family members.
And of course it touches upon Adam, a character losers like Celtic Phoenix and his stans wanted to be a more important villain than he ever was in the show, purely because Adam is white and male. They can't stand the fact that he wasn't the most unstoppable badass in existence, because they can't stand a white male character not being just better than everyone else.
Along with more stupid claims (like saying Cardin/Velvet is good writing, when as we all know it's about a white man believing people like himself deserve love from non-white women just for not being a racist piece of shit to them), the post claims Bumbleby is better written. To note, Blake and Yang have barely any interaction that isn't caustic throughout the entirety of Fixing RWBY V6, and the "mending" of their relationship that courses throughout the original V6 is hastily thrown out at the last second in FRWBY V6 (because the story cares more about Adam having an impact on them than each other).
The post does acknowledge glaring flaws with Fixing RWBY (the incredibly poor job it does at foreshadowing anything, the random and stupid character antagonism, the way Adam is written to be invincible against Team RWBY and instantly jobbed by anyone else, the fact that a "fix"-fic still rips off 95% of the plot and lore), but then proceeds to complain about complaints it thinks are invalid. Such as:
Faunus heat cycles (it doesn't matter how briefly it's mentioned, it's stupid garbage purely for fetishy fanservice)
Roman as Celtic Phoenix's self-insert (it's fucking obvious)
the queerphobic "jokes" aimed at Ren (yes they are queerphobic, much like Celtic Phoenix minimizing the presence of queer characters and treating a queer woman of colour who prevented a massacre as less sympathetic than a straight white man who committed a massacre)
All in all, it's a shitty "review" written by someone who highlights how the audience for Fixing RWBY is white men who hate stories where anyone but white men matter to the story.

character bingo (take two!): blake, ollie, and/or cam?
Thinking about these three made me realize some stuff abt them so I think that's neat! We'll start with Blake and then go from there. (If you want to see Milo's like you originally asked for, I just posted his!)
blake
Tumblr media
I think Blake is a really difficult character. I like him a lot, and I think he's absolutely stupid. I will admit I haven't listened to his most recent stuff, but I've heard about it here and there and, honestly, he's a dumb idiot and I can't wait to see what the hell he ends up doing.
I WANTED to kiss him at some point, but I think my love for him is actually more of admiration because of how weird of a guy he is (/pos). I honestly believe he should just accept bestie's fate and cherish their presence for as long as he can instead of wasting his time trying to stop the unstoppable or whatever.
ollie
Tumblr media
my sweet, sweet lover boy. I adore ollie sososo much. I've heard a lot of people say he's boring and a really empty character (why I marked everyone is wrong about them and the fandom is so mean smh) and while I respect everyone's opinions, I truly think ollie is the best character when it comes to soft, cozy, domestic stuff.
There's something about his and his baby's relationship that feels so pure and realistic to me in comparison to the rest of the couples (which I adore too, because the diversity is great!!!!) that I wouldn't trade for the world. I hold him very close to my heart for sure.
cam
Tumblr media
I haven't listened to cams audios. I think I listened to two of them, maybe? But that was a really long time ago and I honestly don't feel a deep care for cam's existence. I do think the idea of a demon who takes care of others but can't seem to fix himself is truly interesting, but again, I'm not a super fan of him. Cam designs are soooo cool, though! I adore that.

💙 for Cy and Blake?
💙 — Angst
Cyrus/Cyra: A sad chuckle falls from their lips, pain etched within every part of their face. “You’re like a hurricane in human form sometimes. Completely unstoppable, impossible to avoid, and even harder to ignore.” They shake their head, arms crossed around their abdomen in a protective hold. “I was foolish to let it get this far, you know? Foolish to forget the most important thing of all.” Golden tears brim their eyes when they look back at you. “What happens when fire and water meet?”
Blake: “You don’t understand,” they hiss, violet eyes flashing almost violently. The laidback disposition they show to the world completely gone— in its stead being someone, or something, you’ve never seen before. “I thought if I acted like it didn’t matter, then it wouldn’t. Shows what kind of fool I am, huh?”

idk much about the rwby x dc crossover except jealous bumbleby but i did sort of keep up with the latest rwby season and your comment about dick and ruby getting along makes so much sense to me.
like ruby is the leader and it’s really been weighing on her for a couple of season until it kinda comes to a head in the latest and she snaps. like this season has rwby + jaune go through basically a wonderland dimension and while the others went through instances where they faced their inner selves/troubles there’s a being that actively made sure ruby couldn’t and that lead to the others becoming more sure of themselves and even for blake and yang to finally get together and it’s great and sweet!
only issue was ruby had been closing herself off slowly the entire season and putting on a brave face until she couldn’t. because as much as the others were getting better they never stopped looking at her to lead and she basically goes why am i always the one with the plan and the one who’s happy etc until she runs off after she realized she snapped. which all leads to her having a no good bad time where the others are too late to uh. let’s say stop her from “remaking” herself into a new person who fundamentally isn’t ruby anymore.
she does get a therapy session in and realizing it’s ok for her to love herself and be herself burdens or not and coming back to kick ass with everyone.
sorry for the ramble especially if you’re already kept up on rwby but idk ruby and dick to me have so many parallels with both being the youngest and leader in their respective og teams (rwby and teen titans) as well as the burden of being the one who always has to move forward through everything. also both of them being literal beacons of hope with how ruby in the season before last sent out a worldwide transmission asking for help and giving hope in the same speech and dick being dick. ok now i’m done thanks for reading the word vomit <3
Not at all I loved reading all of it!
I'm actually not caught up with the RWBY but I really got into Ruby when I stumbled across the RWBY: Ice Queendom opening scene.
youtube
And I was instantly hooked!
I kept watching the show and I just fell in love with Ruby. My favorite type of characters are those that are cheerful and sweet but unstoppable badasses. AKA RUBY AND DICK. Not only that, both Ruby an Dick are the leaders of their teams. Ruby with the RWBY team and Dick with everyone. Literally, he'll walk into the room and everyone else automatically treats him like the leader.
Saw this by @hadesisqueer-
Tumblr media
and went Dick Grayson.
They're so alike!!
I never knew that about Ruby closing herself off but that's another way they're so identical.
Dick loves his family and friends but on his worst days he's really closed off.
Tumblr media
Outsiders (2003) Issue #12
As Huntress calls him emotionally repressed.
But that's what his friends are for and Wally points this out. The Titan's are there for Dick so he doesn't turn into Batman.
"she basically goes why am i always the one with the plan"
OH MY GOD THAT'S A CANON DICK MOMENT
Tumblr media
The New Teen Titans (1988) Issue #77
Word for word! I'm starting think that dick and ruby might be the same person in a different universe.
Lindsay Jones who plays Ruby described her mentality as, "selfless, but that means she's not dealing with her own issues. Compartmentalizing and internalizing her grief is what might eventually destroy her."
ALDHFBAKHADKFHALKH I LITERALLY WROTE AN ENTIRE POST ABOUT DICK'S COMPARTMENTALIZATION AND HOW HE INTERNALIZED HIS GRIEF SO HE DOESN'T BURDEN OTHERS WITH IT AND ALSO ACT LOVING AND HAPPY
Ruby also has a strong sense of moral justice and her understanding of the battle field makes her battle tactics one of the best in the entire RWBY universe. Much like Dick, the two of them are able to understand the situation quicker than everyone else and are able to formulate a plan that leaves them winning practically every time.
Not to mention, they both have sweet tooths. Ruby with her sugary coffee and Dick with his sugary cereal.
There's so much I could go on about the similarities between these two. The crazy intelligent cinnamon rolls with the tactical sense of Sun Tzu and the heart of Mansa Musa.
I was so happy to see all their interactions.

Weiss: So if I understand what you're saying, Jaune, you created a file on how to defeat every member of both Team RWBY and JNPR? I thought we were all friends!
Jaune: I'm sorry, Weiss, but in a world where a mind control semblance isn't just a pervert's fantasy, it's a necessary evil.
Yang: Well, for the sake of transparency, I think you should tell us what you have planned for us. Otherwise, how can we trust you?
Blake: Nyeah. It's only fair.
Jaune: Fine, but just remember that these were only meant to be used as a last resort. Yang, for you, I have specialized poison designed to amplify your sensitivity to heat, and set of scissors to cut your hair.
Yang: (Cuddles her hair) My god!
Jaune: Pyrrha, I would use a hallucinogenic chemical to have you fight an unstoppable foe, and lead the paparazzi right to your carnage.
Pyrrha: By Zeus!
Jaune: For you, Ruby, I had to dig a little deeper into your past. See, I would jam your scroll and convince you Yang was in trouble with a decoy. When you came to rescue her, you would be too distracted to notice my trap.
Ruby: My god...
Jaune: For you see, I would be hiding behind a boulder, holding a rope, and on the other side of the rope is an anvil.
Ruby: ...What?
Jaune: I would let go of the rope, releasing the anvil, crushing you. As for you, Weiss-
Ruby: Wait, wait, wait! ...That was just a Road Runner sketch!
Weiss: Wait, that totally was!
Jaune: What? No, what? I don't know what you're talking about.
Ruby: The anvil, and the boulder. That was a cartoon trap!
Yang: Yeah, no offense, you were going to mess with my biology and then light me on fire, but for her, you were just going to go all Wile E. Coyote?
Jaune: No, no, I made them completely on my own. I even ran simulations on this.
Ruby: What simulations? Looney Tunes?
Jaune: You know what? Fine! I have more than one plan for each of you! For instance, you may be fast, Ruby, but what if I told you I know how to be just as fast as you are?
Ruby: Is it tying yourself to a rocket?
Jaune: ...It would still work.
Ruby: What are you talking about?!
Pyrrha: Oh my god...
Weiss: These are just Road Runner sketches, Jaune.
Jaune: I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't even know what a roadrunner is.
Ruby: Jaune, you can just admit you ran out of ideas.
Jaune: JAUNE ARC NEVER RUNS OUT OF IDEAS! You have all your semblances and your silver eyes! All I have is my mind! I have to be good at something. I have to be good at this!
Yang: Easy, Vomit Boy. We're sorry. We didn't know you felt so personal about this.
Ruby: Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, too. Look, why don't you try again? I'm sure you can come up with a good one!
Jaune: Alright. Okay! (Ahem!) I know everything about you, Ruby Rose. I know your dreams, your hopes, your passions... and your fears. The fear of not being good enough. The fear of losing your sister the same way you lost your mother. Because you weren't fast enough.
Ruby: Alright! I've got chills!
Jaune: ...I would paint a tunnel on the side of a cliff-
Ruby: God dammit, Jaune...
Jaune: -because you would run at it, and slam into it, knocking you unconscious, because you thought it was a tunnel.
Ren: (Gives his opinion in lack of dialogue)
Weiss: What are you even saying?! You're not making any sense!
Ruby: Okay, well, what if I ran into the tunnel, and it became an actual tunnel, but when you tried to follow me, it turned back into a cliff?
Jaune: ...The simulations did warn me of that.
Yang: THIS IS JUST LOONEY TUNES! THIS IS JUST WILE E. COYOTE!
