my hot take for today, rwby gets better when you realise that blake definitely did have a crush on sun in the early days but didn’t follow up on it because she realised post-fall that her feelings were stronger for yang and that sun just wasn’t the one.
1) it makes all the eclipse moments in early volumes not feel like they’re shitting on bumbleby (the eventual canon couple)
2) it highlights that yes, blake is indeed bi
3) it tells a very realistic story of how some crushes just aren’t meant to be
do i still think blake had a bit of a crush on yang at beacon? absolutely. do i still think yang fell first and was so head over heels for blake at beacon? absolutely! blake seriously has a type, and sun and yang are both that type.
the difference comes in how they treat her. sun may be fun and flirty, but he’s also senseless and pushes blake out of her comfort zones far too often without realizing why she doesn’t appreciate it. yang on the other hand is patient with her, invites her into her life to have fun without pushing her way in and trampling all over her boundaries.
and that’s what’s fun about sun and yang being so similar !! like, not only does blake have a type, but it shows the variance in that type and what she needs in a relationship. it’s a great narrative !!
and it works extra well when you consider that sun doesn’t get jealous and actively encourages blake to go on her own way (subtext: to get her girl), because then it makes him somewhat of a narrative foil to ilia, who was jealous of adam and let that jealousy fester, as opposed to sun, who let go of those conflicting feelings to let blake — who he undoubtedly loves — be herself and do what she wants. (it’s also why i really love the dynamic of sun and ilia, himbo and lesbian duo getting over the girl they loved)
long story short, eclipse isn’t bad but it also wasn’t meant to be and that’s okay. better, even, for the story they wanted to tell for blake.

Just thought of a new ship: Killcode Moon x Sun.
What do you think?
This would be so fucking funny.
Also, i'm a big fan of Sun x the whole Murder family, gives me that dream x bad guys vibe.

Smt I hate the algorithm, I actually spend like 1 hr and 45 mins on smth and it gets 10-15 likes, then I spend 15 mins on smth and it gets 55 likes? Like how does that work? Anyways here take the little ruin droplet. Remember I don’t own any of the Droplet charcters these all belong to Potatotato-26 and their droplet au. This is just some fanart for it!
It might take longer for the next piece for the droplet au or just art in general, my horse is sick and she is my top priority at the moment. It’s nothing bad but I just don’t think I will have the time or motivation to do any art until she is ok again!
