Here we are in the first post of one of the dumber ideas I've had. RWBY is going first because it's the first list I finished. Links to the songs mentioned will be under the cut. (AJ specifically should beware of spoilers because I still want you to watch this.)
Ruby "You Are Enough" by Citizen Soldier. Just go watch the V9 finale, then listen to this song, and try to tell me it is not Ruby Rose. You will never convince me that this song is not hardcore Ruby Rose.
Weiss: "Speechless" from the live action Aladdin movie. Didn't like this movie, did like this song, and there is a reason there are at least three AMVs of this song featuring Weiss already up on Youtube. It's because it's perfect.
Blake: "This Is Me" from The Greatest Showman. This is not the attitude she started with but it's the attitude she grew into and you love to see it!
Yang: "Phoenix" and actually I'm not sure who does it, pretty sure it was written for League of Legends. It's catchy though. Anyway, I know that her name means dragon, but have you considered that between the fire and her character arc this girl was made for phoenix imagery?
Jaune: "Lullaby" by Nickelback. The vibes are correct. That is all I can say.
Nora: "Crazy Angels" by Carrie Underwood. I admit, this is the one I was least convinced about. Maybe I'm just listening to the wrong kind of music, but Nora is actually really hard to find a song for. I landed on this one because "sweetheart with a wild side, girl next door with a rebel smile" isn't a bad description of our favorite Valkyrie, even if it isn't the best, and this is absolutely the kind of song that I can see her enjoying, unlike most of the others.
Pyrrha: "Just a Dream" by Sam Tsui and Christina Grimmie. I also contemplated "Watching for Comets" or "Lucy" by Skillet, or "Living Without You" by Beth Crowley, but I'm not that mean. It's a very sweet, sad song about lost love and lost opportunities.
Ren: "True Colors" originally by Cindy Lauper, covered by everyone and their dog, I'll be linking the Celtic Woman version because I like it the best. Go watch V8 again if you don't know why this one fits.
Oscar: "I'm Still Here" from Treasure Planet. Oscar's character arc, plus the vibes, ended up making this one win out.
*Bonus!* Emerald: "Lovely" originally by Billie Eilish but the specific version I'm assigning her is a rock cover. I don't have any real concrete reasons, but the vibes of the song combined with the way (In my interpretation) Emerald has always wanted to be safe and loved made the choice for me.
You guys don't get it but I can tell when some of you are white as hell cuz you come here saying RBY would listen to Taylor Swift or any white mainstream singer and it's like... Ruby canonically listen to rock and I'm not talking about only white bands, Blake was an edgy emo back in Beacon so she probably listened to early Paramore with a bit of Lana Del Rey and then switch at listening back to her old music before Adam and it's probably a lot of faunus music which could be translated to mostly poc singers in our world and then there's Yang that's probably is the most eclectic of them 4 so she probably vibes with any type of music unless is too cringey so she would probably would not listen to singers like TS, Olivia Rodrigo or Conan Gray, just like that one song everyone likes of them or something, so that girl will vibe to fucking Cardi B while training and then at night she's crying with Mitski.
Yang probably listened to freaking Tracy Chapman back at V4 while remembering Blake as if she got draft for war or something. Hell, Blake probably went all stage of grief everytime her mom put Toni Braxton.
If you're familiar with RWBY then you should know some songs are dedicated to certain pairings of characters, to name a few
Arkos: Shine, Dream Come True
Renora: Boop
And of course Bumbleby: Bmblb, and Worthy
So with Whiteknight getting a surge of popularity I was thinking what would be a good song for them. So I search throught my vast play list and found quite possibly the best song that describes both of their feelings.
Honestly it shocked me when it's coming from this anime but hey I think this song really does capture their mutual feelings for one another or rather soon to be. But I'm curious to see what the Whiteknight Fandom has to say feel free to list the songs that best suit the growing relationship of Weiss and Jaune and how far they come in their journey
Easily the wildest thing about theory-crafting for where Ice Queendom is going to go is the realization that, given the setup of everything so far, a ‘Big Damn Whiterose Kiss’ is an ENTIRELY PLAUSIBLE, and even LIKELY option for how Ruby wakes Weiss up XD
Ppl making freezerburn divorce memes like whiterose wouldn't file for a divorce after one day, or bees wouldn't have this slow burn communication problem that festers.
(yes I know this is late)
Yang could literally go out to get cigarettes and Blake's having a breakdown in the shower, let's not start throwing molotovs in the glass houses besties.
