So with that reblog did Mama arc adopt Nora?

You bet your barnacles she does!

(Follow-up from here!)

Ren: …I’m still very confused…

Mama Arc: It’s a very simple question…

Mama Arc: *giving Ren her best Mom Look™️ over her tea* What are your intentions with my little girl…? 🤨

Ren: Uh…we’ve been close for years, but we’re not exactly “together-together,” so…

Mama Arc: Oh, you’re one of THOSE boys, are you? I don’t approve! My little Valkyrie deserves commitment!

Ren: Nora, are you seriously going along with this?

Nora: *sipping homemade Arc cocoa in a pink knitted sweater* Can’t hear you! I’m enjoying my new mom’s love! 🥰

How Nora and Ren get married, Jaune of course is the one who marries them being team leader and all

I hope this is the Will/Elizabeth marriage from World’s End

*clicks link*

Good, it is

Also I love the implication that the leaders of Huntsmen teams are ordained. Jaune, you are not beating the religious figure allegations

Might I ask for some JNP(enny)R shenanigans?

Nora: Subs are so fun to play with. All you have to do is hint at what you might do, back them into a corner with a look, or grab their wrist in a certain way and they're a wide-eyed mess.

Jaune: What the fuck kind of Subway are you going to?

Penny: Substitute teachers deal with so much disrespect, and that sounds at though it's assault.

Ren: *Rubbing bruised wrists* Guys.

~~~~~

Jaune, Nora & Penny: screaming

Ren: *runs into the room* What's wrong, Penny?!

Jaune: Wait, why are you asking Penny that when Nora and I are also here?

Ren: Because Penny wouldn't scream unless it's an emergency. You two scream whenever you have the chance.

~~~~~

Ren: What’s the announcement, Penny?

Penny: It’s a lecture. Jaune’s gonna tell us everything they know about sex.

Nora: It should be an enjoyable 60 seconds.

~~~~~

Nora: Ren, I have a great idea.

Ren: Let’s hear it.

Nora: We trick Jaune and Penny to go out on a date together.

Ren: YES!

Ren: And hey, if that doesn’t work out, maybe you and me could go out, get some drinks—

Nora: *hits Ren with a book* THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU.

~~~~~

Nora: I sleep with a gun under my pillow.

Ren: I sleep with a knife.

Jaune: Both of you are pathetic.

Nora: Oh yeah? What do you sleep with?

Jaune: Penny.

~~~~~

Penny: *sees Nora and Ren together*

Penny: They're cute. I would put them on a boat.

Jaune: You mean… you ship them?

~~~~~

Nora: ARE YOU READY FOR THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD!

Penny: *Flinching at the volume* I am as prepared as I can be.

Ren: Then here is your first pancake. I hope you enjoy.

Penny: *Nom Nom ... nom ...* Well. It is certainly sweet.

Nora: It's great right?!?

Penny: Uhm. The Texture is rather 'Cakey' for my palate, as well as being denser than I enjoy. I do not know that I can finish this. I'm sorry.

Nora: *Shocked Silence*

Ren: Oh. I'm sorry. I know Nora likes them very much. Perhaps Waffles would be better for you.

Hi! What do you think of Ren and Nora? I like them, but to me they don't really seem to fit in the main story... differently from all the other main characters :(

So, I don't think you're wrong about this, and I think others have noticed too. However, I was recently thinking on it, and I honestly believe this might be precisely the point of Ren and Nora's arcs: that they don't fit.

In comparison to the others, they definitely don't. Yang and Ruby are children of Team STRQ. Yang is the bio daughter of the Spring Maiden, too. Their mother was turned into a Grimm by Salem, and their uncle is Qrow, someone who's been in Oz's secret circle. Weiss is a Schnee, the daughter of powerful people in Atlas, and Blake's the daughter of the leaders of Menagerie.

Jaune doesn't have that linkage, but he is directly tied to Pyrrha and Penny's deaths, and he comes from a legacy of Huntsman and Huntresses. Oscar is literally chosen and called by Oz, who inhabits him.

Ren and Nora more clearly mirror Emerald and Mercury's situations, which also makes them a mirror of Cinder to a degree. All five of these characters are orphans, but because Cinder directly works for Salem, Emerald and Mercury are therefore tied to the main plot in ways Ren and Nora aren't.

I've seen speculation that this "orphan" idea might well tie into Nora's backstory, which is still somewhat mysterious in that we know she lost her mother and ended up in Ren's village, but we don't know what happened prior to this. Given the horror of Cinder's backstory, I've seen a lot of people wondering if Nora faced something similar, and frankly this could be the case. There's no direct evidence for it, but it would make sense and help set up empathy for Cinder.

I've also seen speculation that given the clear foreshadowing for focus on finding out "who just Nora is" in Vacuo, that Nora will end up the Summer Maiden. I'm less into this idea, but it's not impossible.

The reason I'm less into Summer Maiden!Nora, though, is because I actually think that Ren and Nora have no place in the story... but they choose to have one.

I think this could tie very interestingly into the theme of "choice" and the relic thereof in Beacon. It'd be far more interesting to me than Nora finding her identity in a Maiden. (The potential backstory doesn't actually impact this, so I don't mind whether that's true or not.)

No, Ren and Nora aren't connected to the main plot in the same way as the others. They don't have a legacy to uphold. But, they choose to become a part of a story greater than themselves anyways, because it was their teammate Cinder killed. It was their friend she made their other friend kill. It is their friends who are threatened and their loved ones whose lives are at risk.

They may not be directly tied to all the plots like the others are, but don't ordinary people have a place, too? They might just be kids with dreams who decide to take on the world for no other reason than that they are there and they care. If that is emphasized appropriately in Nora's coming arc, I think It could be really powerful. There's a particular type of quiet beauty in people choosing to make themselves a legacy out of choice and belief that people deserve to live.

In the words of Samwise Gamgee, there's some good in this world, Mx Anon, and that's worth fighting for.

About you getting hate for liking the Freezerburn ship and then getting even more hate for politely asking to be left alone:

idk what the fndm's been drinking lately to get like this but it's kind of everywhere nowadays, which is one reason I no longer participate in things like the freezerburn ship week or stuff like that. It's become so popular to cyberbully people in this fandom, especially if they hold any opinion outside the extremely limited and strictly enforced one-way-only 'acceptable' opinion, and for some inexplicable reason, Freezerburn has been declared Unacceptable and Wrong and Bad, and that goes double for the shippers.

I once saw someone say that shipping Freezerburn was "homophobic."

A ship... between two female main characters... is "homophobic..."

The reason given as to why it was "homophobic" to ship those two characters was because the person making the declaration irrationally declared that every single Freezerburn shipper is also a BlackSun shipper and furthermore declared that the "only reason" anyone could ever possibly claim to like Freezerburn was if they were "pairing Yang off with a random girl so they could force Blake to belong to a man without being accused of homophobia"

I also once saw someone say that shipping Freezerburn was "disrespectful" and "egotistical" and "ungrateful" and - again - "homophobic" because Yang kisses Blake in canon and apparently that means that every viewer is legally obligated to praise the ship and make it the center of all their fics and fanart, because anything less is you "choosing to hate bumblby because you're a homophobe" and "failing to show the proper gratitude and reverence to the writers" and "stuck up and conceited and arrogant enough to think you could come up with better ideas than the writers" and "disrespecting all their hard work"

Aaaaand I've also seen people post lists of "rules" that every fic-writer or fan-artist is apparently required to follow, and if they don't then they get written off as "part of the HTDM" and they become a socially-acceptable target for cyberbullying and harassment, on the grounds that "the HTDM refuses to respect rwby, so why should we respect them?" And what'd'ya know, one of the many rules every fan is now expected to follow is literally "you must ship bumblby and you must make Blake and Yang get together, and you cannot pair either character with anyone else in the series."

I'll tell you what; the show claims to be about artistic expression, freedom of speech, and trusting love - but the biggest fans never got the memo.

No one is allowed to make art unless it is Canon-Compliant

No one is allowed to express an opinion unless it is a Glowing 5-Star 10/10 Two Thumbs Up monetizable recommendation

And no one will choose kindness if you break either of those two rules. Differences and Dissent are the enemies in this fndm, and if you get pronounced guilty of them, you become an acceptable target.

Because you ship two female main-characters with each other

Just not the ones that became canon

And the fndm seems unwilling to confront the fact that "doesn't ship bumblby" isn't included in the definition of Homophobia - but "attacking people and inciting hate against them through smearing their reputation and getting them branded as a toxic monster for no other reason than they posted content about a wlw ship on their tumblr" kind of is

Anyway Freezerburn is awesome

Ah. Yeah I've been out of the fandom for a minute, fell out around volume 4 and came back in with a recent rewatch so I was around when Shipping freezerburn was less controversial I guess. That and one of the only people in this fandom I've been following for the past decade is a multishipper who only posts postive content.

But this all does track. I did at one point ship Blacksun but it's been years since that happened and I find a lot of enjoyment in Blake and Sun's sibling/friend dynamic more than anything.

Even funnier since my post that started this mentioned that I support Yang having two girlfriends, but I have seen how serious rwby fans get about people criticizing the show even before I left. I remember when there were wars about posting in the rwde tag and fans who would start fights with bloggers for posting in it because they didn't think people were being nice enough in the rwde tag despite it being labeled that way for a reason.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain fandom history I missed out on to me.

Been a freezerburn shipper since volume 2, and surprisingly, that hasn't changed even after 6 years of being gone. If there's one thing I'll always support, it's Yang and her many suitors.

Ask (Original Stud AU):" Tonight...you" for Ren from Nora

Nora: Renny. Tonight...You.

Ren stared at his dear friend with a baffled look on his face as he saw Nora look at him with a deadly serious look on her face as she walked away from him with a strong, menacing gait.

Yearly RWBY Writers Collab

It is time once again for the yearly writers collab!

Here's how it works. You sign up and are paired at random with another author.

You will then write at least a 2 chapter story based on a picture from a talented artist.

The first month is sign ups. If you need to drop out at any point during this time just let us know

Once the sign ups are done you'll be given an option of what picture you want to write a story for.

Discord is preferable for partners as that’s the easiest way for me to get you two in touch but if you both have tumblr or another way to work it out that’s also fine.

Pictures can and will be comissioned for each pair with various prizes being awarded for groups that finish their stories! Prizes are a secret until they're completed.

There is no time limit on this only that you finish it at some point.

Whether you and your partner each write a chapter to go with the other or just collab for both is up to you!

The fic is to be gifted to whomever the artist's picture you're writing a story about is.

Sign ups are June 5th to July 5th

Pictures will be given out as the coms are done/ July 5 unless they come in sooner.

If you want to participate as an artist feel free to let me know and we'll get your work involved!

This is open for WR, Arkos, Renora, BB, Jaune/Jessica etc (as long as background WR or WR+1 are in it, WR+, etc. Essentially WR or WR+ must be in the background at least even if all they do is greet the other main characters once.

When you sign up please let me know what you will/won’t write. Ie if you can’t stand Arkos and wont’ write it let me know. If you won’t write anything but WR let me know, etc.

Now she must stake her claim before one of the many beautiful women that surround him on a daily basis does. Only one problem, she has never been in a relationship and doesn’t know how to flirt or what to do.

I Haven't seen the Movie, But I'll try my best to get Her Right.

Jessica: (Internally) How could I ever compete with all of these Women! I'm not Lithe and Graceful like Weiss or and Amazon like Pyrrha ...

Weiss: (handing Pyrrha a Flower) You look lovely today Pyrrha.

Pyrrha: Thank you very much Weiss. Though, you are a far prettier picture than this flower, I will cherish it greatly.

Jessica: I'm not cute and innocent like Ruby ...

Ruby: (Holding Hands with Penny)

Jessica: I'm not wild and cool like Nora ...

Nora: 337 ... 338 ... 339 ... 340!

Ren: (Getting Bench pressed by Nora) Good Job, Nora.

Jessica: I'm far from having the kind of Body Blake and Yang have ...

Blake and Yang: (Actively Making Out)

Jaune: Hey Jess, what're you thinking about?

Jessica: *sigh* How do I ask Jaune out on a date ...

Do you think Ren and Nora will still end up together? Because their respective character arcs make it seem like that may not be the case. Not sure which outcome I would prefer since I’ve been a shipper of them since day one, but at the same time Nora does need to find out who she is without Ren and Ren needs to maintain his healthy coping mechanisms.

I think they're going to stick together.

The story's made it clear that they do love each other, and are very supportive of each other. Their separation isn't cliched "relationship troubles" separation, but rather one of them wanting to work out deeply-rooted insecurities that have been built up since early in the story—and Ren supporting her doing so highlights how respectful and caring their relationship is.

The two of them having some time apart will help them grow, but I'm sure that they'll be all too happy to reunite in the end.
