#whitley: how can i help?
Note
You reblogged something once about how sometimes rwby quotes feel out of nowhere or make not a lot of sense for the character or situation. i wondered if you have a least favorite quote for any of the characters, not to like dunk on the writing or anything just like how you said sometimes they're mildly baffling. do you have a least favorite weiss quote? i feel like most of hers are good
That's a good question, thanks for the ask! Well, the dialogue exchange I'd had in mind when reblogging that (I think? It was a long time ago lol) was the end of v6
Ruby: Is it weird that I'm a little nervous?
Yang: No, I'll believe we've made it to Atlas when I see it.
Weiss: Well, believe it.
It just felt... off? Ruby asked about nervousness, not whether they'd actually get there. It feels like Yang's line was just meant to set up Weiss' rather than respond to Ruby's. (Also idk how much time passed on that airship but wow did they get to Atlas fast)
But that's a pretty inconsequential example :P If you're asking for a least favorite Weiss quote... I've got one, and oof, it's a doozy, I'm so sorry XD I can't just share the quote and leave it without explanation, cause it's all about the context, so this may get long. It's not just confusing for the timing or phrasing, but contrary to the situation, and actively (in my opinion) detracts from Weiss' character.
Now, to preface because I know how easy it is to see the beginning of something and assume the rest (especially if the topic is similar to one you've heard ad nauseam & ad hominem): this is not about whether Ruby should've lied to Ironwood. I'm neither debating that morally nor narratively (actually, I liked the initial decision to have Ruby do that; it was an interesting character moment!). This is about this specific line in this scene with these characters and how it impacts the larger message and themes in play. I love Weiss, she's one of my faves, but this particular writing choice irks me.
Ok, with that out of the way, here's my least favorite Weiss quote:
"Everyone thinks what they're doing is right. But usually, they're just looking out for themselves. And their secrets."
This was said to Winter in a scene alone together in v7ch5. She's drawing a clear line between their discovery of Ozpin's secrets and their worry about Ironwood. Which is good! The volume had been establishing the Oz parallel really well: ch 2 when Ruby lies (and Oscar's leitmotif plays during both her lies/half-truths) and glances to Oscar the exact moment he looks away from her in disappointment, and she looks hurt; ch 3 when Yang expresses discomfort with the choice but begrudgingly goes along, asking how Oscar feels about it, and we flash back to Oscar confronting Ruby by saying "doesn't that feel like what Ozpin did to us?" and Ruby looking guilty (as Oscar's motif plays over her once again); ch 4 where Ruby confesses to Qrow she can't tell if what's best is what's right, or if she's no different from Oz (I'm ignoring Qrow's response for now or this'll be way longer lol); ch 5 with this line to Winter.
The issue I have with this line isn't the first sentence, because it's by and large accurate: most people do generally think they're doing what's right. And oftentimes they're actually hiding things to do so. For example: YOU RIGHT NOW, WEISS.
Again, this isn't about whether or not I think the lies were justified. It's about how this line makes her seem like -- and I hate to say it, but it's the most accurate word -- a hypocrite. It'd be one thing if the show addressed this and had her realize that, but it never does. It doubles down in the later scene with the Winter Maiden. Winter says that Ironwood isn't keeping secrets, not from her. Weiss replies, "Can you be sure?" To demonstrate how crucial she is to Ironwood's plan and how much he trusts her, Winter entrusts Weiss with this huge secret: that she's planned to be the next Maiden. But rather than having Weiss reflect on how honest her sister is being with her while she continues to hide the very secrets they resented Ozpin for, she smiles and says they've both carved their own path :)
Eddy in the commentary for v7 said they were going to have Weiss tell Winter the truth there (I'd have to double check for the exact wording), but that "it worked better as Winter telling secrets while Weiss kept them from her." I have to disagree. It would have worked if the narrative addressed it, like if Weiss felt bad about it, or afterwards went to talk to Ruby about it. Maybe asking if she can at least tell Winter, to have Ruby respond that Winter would just tell Ironwood, and they couldn't risk that yet. Then later (and they can still do this in v9), have Ruby feel guilty when Penny gets the powers, knowing her choice to accept them was based on incomplete information, regardless of whether or not the complete info would have changed her decision. That choice is what made Cinder target her. That power is why she died. Just like Pyrrha.
I know Pyrrha had less information about Salem than Winter did at that point (correct me if I'm wrong, it's been awhile since I've watched v3), but in essence, important truths about the dangers of being a Maiden & fighting Salem were kept from them both. After Pyrrha's death and the Fall of Beacon, I'd expect the team to want to prevent anyone else from taking on that burden without knowing the price and full risks. But Weiss didn't bat an eye when told her sister was in the same position. We don't know for certain whether Weiss told her team about the plan offscreen, or what we're supposed to assume, but because it was never brought up and never reflected on, it comes across as Weiss bitterly (I say bitterly bc of the line delivery) insulting Oz and insinuating Ironwood is likely lying to Winter and may not be trustworthy, while she herself continues to remorselessly lie to her.
In one line, it shows her opinion of Oz hasn't changed, her self-justification for lying as an exception to the rule because they're actually "doing what's right" -- the irony of that line would've been so cool to explore -- her disdain of others' secrecy, and her complete lack of self-awareness that she's making accusations of things she herself is doing without a trace of regret or doubt.
It's just a frustrating line to me, because it takes a really interesting morally grey setup for the protagonists, makes it an even darker grey, and instead of challenging it, frames it as a cute sister bonding moment. All while simultaneously showing that despite making essentially the same decisions, the team (or at least Weiss, Qrow, Ruby, and Yang based on her line in the v6 finale) is still blaming and/or resenting Oz rather than reconsidering the difficult position he was in now that they're in it and following suit. Which, tbh, is where I thought that plotline was headed, but that's another conversation :P
If they'd followed it up and had the hypocrisy impact her view or lead to character growth, thus highlighting the complexity of these decisions and setting up the team's understanding of Oz (instead of a flimsy "trust is a risk"), it might have wound up as one of my favorite lines of v7. There was so much potential there, and the choice to ignore it as confirmed in the commentary is one that will forever flabbergast me.
Ok, all done! Sorry if this was too ranty, anon -- I uh. I get kinda carried away in analysis and sometimes come off as more emotional or upset than I am 😅 I just wanted to express my dislike for this line thoroughly to avoid confusion (and hopefully prevent people getting heated in the replies, especially since those often showcase they didn't actually read the whole post and/or took it in bad faith). I'm not bashing or saying you can't like this line or plot point! RWBY is a piece of media I enjoy watching, so when something like this happens that I feel is inauthentic to a character or message, I care about it strongly.

how do you come up with all those crazy cool outfits for tomiko? or any of your characters in general, all my characters' outfits are just so similar and the same goes with hairstyles. i keep having that impulse to give all my female characters that side swept bangs yknow (like tomiko's, her swoop is super fun to draw)?
i was kinda hoping someone would ask me about this cause NOW I GET TO TALK ABOUT FASHION YAAAYYYY!!
my secret, cap? I research and reference a LOT. Like if you have a specific vibe you wanna go for, look up characters that also have that vibe, or outfits from a certain time period. Like if I needed to draw, like, a weird space walk suit, for a wild example. I’d not only look up sci-fi outfits, but I’d also look up old timey sea diving outfits and diving bells to give it an interesting twist. Then pulling design elements from all my findings and bam!! Another example is for Whitley from my comic, the Alice white knight character, I don’t just look up armor but also blacksmith outfits. Having multiple sources, some unexpected, can really help!
As for Tomiko, I’m gonna use her apocalypse outfit cause that really shows my “reference everything” method with her haha
Tumblr media
this goes for a lot of Tomiko’s outfits as well. Her regular outfit is the spirited away teal top + shorts + some extra red bows and details. Her battle nexus outfit is the big mama + bellhops aesthetics, but in the shape of vintage hotel maid outfits.
In conclusion, RESEARCH A LOOOOT. find a vibe you wanna go for and gather a BUNCH of interesting shapes that suit what you’re going for, then throw them together and see what works!

Honestly I thought we'd left the “Tai was neglectful” discourse back years ago.
Because yeah, he was. I get him: he was left by his first wife and her second one disappeared and never came back, and that he suddenly saw himself a single father of two, still having to work to support them while he was still grieving, and the only person who could help him probably had to keep his distance most of the time because he was afraid his bad luck would affect them. And I understand that he was incredibly depressed, and that he loves his daughters more than anyone in this world and that eventually he came back from it (we see him spending time with his daughters and reading stories to them in canon content), and Yang did say in volume 5 that her father was always busy with school, so I also assume that the guy worked a lot and that he always made sure Yang and Ruby had their basic necessities covered. But he did neglect Ruby and Yang emotionally for a while, and that did affect Yang. That's it. He's not a bad person, he just wasn't the best father for a while.
It's sort of like Willow. She was a caring mother for her children when their kids were little; Weiss really implied it. And seeing she is able to summon Grimm, I assume she could fight and that she even could have been the one who taught Winter how to do so (and Winter's original outfit seemed to be based off hers in portrait, so I assume they were close). But then Weiss' tenth birthday happened, and everything came crashing down. She became very depressed, and started drinking to numb that pain, becoming an alcoholic. I do feel bad for Willow; I know that she really does love all her children, and that in volume 8 she took a turn, stopped drinking and started repairing her relationship with at least two of her children. I know she's trying to be better now, but that doesn't change the fact that she was neglectful towards her kids as well. She didn't only allow Jacques to still abuse her those years, she also allowed her kids to be abused because she was usually to drunk or depressed to do anything. We saw that the closest thing to a proper mother figure Weiss had growing up was Winter herself, who was only fifteen when her mother shut down and had to take on that role. We've all also seen how Winter turned out, emotionally repressed trying to distance herself as much as she can from her entire family as possible, not just Jacques. And we saw Whitley; how lonely he felt because his sisters got to leave and he's stuck with their abusive father and their alcoholic mother, that he was so young when his mother shut down that he probably doesn't even remember when she was a loving mom, and how he at first could barely even stand being in the same room with Willow or her talking to him because he resented her.
They both made mistakes and that has shaped their kids being the way they are, not only because their mom left or died or because their father is abusive. That doesn't mean I hate them, of course. I love both Willow and Tai, I don't think they're bad people, I want to see their families heal and I wanna see them spend time with their kids, and most of all, I know that they'd give their lives if that meant seeing their kids safe because despite everything, I don't doubt that Tai loves Yang and Ruby and that Willow loves Whitley, Weiss and Winter as well, more than anything in the world. That's all.

Jaune is a genius au: With the need to rebuild and restructure the SDC in a way her grandfather can be proud of Weiss turns to Jaune: with both the morals and intelligence to aid her he’ll be an incredibly boon to her efforts. And if it gives her more time to try and capture his heart again all the better;
Whitley: -in short, the SDC needs your help Mr Arc. Or at least, it would be faster to ask your help instead of waiting for pen pushers to finally accept our plea for help.
Jaune: *thinking* Really, it's more a political question than a scientific one in this case. As you know, the SDC still has the casi-monopol on dust mine but your refineries have been destroyed in the fall of Atlas. You could construct a new one or try buying the old one from Vacuo. They technically are still operable since the country used them for cheaper dust. And let's not forget that-
Meanwhile, looking at them
Weiss:... Ruby, do you think i still got a chance with Jaune?
Ruby: *choking on her cookie* *cough* uh... I mean, maybe? You did kinda told him in every way imaginable how you weren't interested in him back in Beacon. And uh... Between you and me, you got a lot of competition.
Weiss: *sigh* I was a fool. Of every guy who tried to date me, he was the only one that was completely sincere.
Ruby: *hugging her depressed friend* Like i said, it's not impossible, right? W- i mean you just have to work hard on it.

Jaune: I am too! We're going to be switching on and off throughout the day!
Ruby: What.
Penny: Knowing that you identify as 'Asexual' I inquired what romance felt like to Weiss, who was on her way to ask Jaune on a 'date.' Jaune brought up how Polyamorous relationships were uncommon but plausible, so Weiss agreed to spend her time with us both!
Ruby: ... Oh.
Weiss: Yes, and I still need to finish readying up! Please leave so that I may Dress!

Loud Thumping and groaning may be heard behind Ren and Nora's Door, along with slapping sounds.

~~~~~
Oscar: Hey Ruby! What're you up to?
Ruby: Finding you! Everyone else is busy with Valentines, so I figured "hey, Oscar hasn't seemed interested in anyone, and he know what romance is" so I looked for you so we could have a Totally Platonic hangout. Which, for Valentines day would be weird-
Whitley: *Barging in* Hello my Evergreen~ I brought Cinnamon raisin Oatmeal cookies for my most sweet of sweets~

Ruby:  ̄へ ̄
~~~~~
Ruby: *Knocking on Door* HEY UNCLE QROW!

~~~~~
Ruby: ... Hey? Hey Torchwick!
Roman: *Sitting at a table at a cafe* Little Red, I'm not in the mood for any of our games today.
Ruby: What do you mean?
Roman: Look, Neo's a free spirit, and on today of all days, she's reveling in Warm bodies rather than cold blood, leaving little ol' me out to dry, just cause the way I get down and Dirty is only ever stylish not sexy.
Ruby: ... yeah, I get that. Everyone I can think of is either being horny or romantic. It's annoying.
Roman: Oh-ho-ho! It seems the little nightmare for all the criminals in Vale is and Ace of Spades, huh?
Ruby: Well ... *Unfurling Crescent Rose as she takes a seat* Wrong Farm tool, but yeah, my flags fly white, gray, Green and Purple.
Roman: ... how about truce for today? I get the feeling if we stay out of each other's trouble our friends and family can have a nice day.
Ruby: No assault, theft from Mom and Pop shops, no murders, no trafficking and no destruction of property.
Roman: ... take off destruction of property.
Ruby: Hostile architecture only.

There’s some 70’s slang, here are the meanings “Don’t flip your wig! = Don’t be upset.”Casanova = a lady’s man” “foxy mama = a hot looking woman” “Later days = A form of saying ‘Goodbye.’” (proof read by @/alex-whitley-187)
Chapter 1 | Chapter 2

Tumblr media
The one girl Vance always found very interesting always caught his attention. The blonde curls on his head and the beautiful blue ocean eyes of his made many girls fall in love with him on sight. Then there's his tendency to pick fights with anyone, no matter where or who they are. The way he truly never cared who he was fighting. Everyone knew him. 
With all that, surely he could talk to a girl, right? Nope. He could never talk to you. Sure, he’ll stare at you. In class, in the hallways, in the lunch area, even when walking home. He just… like, loves you. I mean could anyone really blame him? It’s you. There was nothing he didn't love about you. With your beautiful silky smooth hair that shines in the sun, and your beautiful smile that warms everyone's heart. With how your hips swing when you walk, not to mention how sweet and kind you are. You’re perfect in his eyes. In terms of cheesiness, Vance is not the type who would think about these things. He just couldn’t help it, you’re truly his dream girl… but he always thought a girl like you would NEVER like a guy like him. Though… there’s always a small part of him that thought maybe you two had a future together.
You, on the other hand, always see Vance. I mean, everyone in town knew who he was. You already knew that he always gets into fights. You already knew how he has girls drooling all over him. Oddly enough, you never saw him go out with any of them, something that seemed weird to you. I mean he does look like the type that would just go out with a different girl Every. Single. Day. Just like the other girls, you also had a tiny (huge) crush on Vance. I mean how could you not find him at least somewhat attractive? You loved everything about him. Vance and you do live pretty close so you will always see him outside of school. Which for you is such an amazing opportunity to see how handsome he is. If he ever found out that you always look forward to seeing him he’d probably think you were weird. He probably already thinks that you’re a weirdo. I mean you already knew that there’s no way that Vance is the type of guy that would like a girl like you. But a girl can dream.

1978
Your normal routine was to wake up, eat, go to school and sleep, then do it all over again. Nothing interesting ever really happened to you. I mean sure, you sometimes hang out with your friends, but those times quickly ended almost as soon as the conversation started.
It’s not that you dislike them. No, no, no, that’s far from it. It’s just, you didn’t know how to hold up a ‘normal’ conversation, though they do try to talk to you. They do try, but you kept pushing them. You just have that horrible habit.
But somehow someone did break that habit of yours. Jennifer. She really tried her best to be around you and be close to you.
 She basically became your only friend, one that you somehow didn’t push away. That was one of your many problems. But as of right now, you were getting ready to head off to school. Your mom wasn’t here today, she was off at work. You quickly went outside and started to head off to school, only one thing, or person, can make your day.
That special person was… Vance Hopper. Yes, the guy with the puffy blonde hair. The one with anger issues. I mean, insult him in some way and you were on the ground with a broken nose, broken arm, and covered in blood. Yes, that Vance Hopper. 
That handsome guy. He always walked in the same way, everyday. Which made you so happy! Walking to school? Yeah, that totally sucks ass. Walking to school, BUT stare at a cute guy? That made it all better. 
Since you were just thinking about him, he appeared at the corner of the street right in front of you. You could only see his back and his curly blonde hair bouncing with every step. With his denim blue sleeveless jean jacket, white shirt, tight bright jeans that got wider at the bottom, and brown boots. You always adore how he dresses. 
You arrived at school before you knew it. Then he was off with his own little friend group. You sighed. When you entered the halls there were so many people talking and crowded together, a few random couples making out in-front of their lockers. 
Until you saw your own friends, like you said before you kinda had a habit of pushing away your friends. Well not just your friends, maybe some other people. You just couldn’t help it. They didn’t say anything since they had just given up on talking to you. Until you saw your Jennifer.
“Hey girlfriend! So how was your little walk to school?” She said while wiggling her eyebrows, clearly knowing what she was saying with that. 
“Oh hush, it was boring like usual.” You say while dryly laughing. 
“If you say so.” Jennifer said while closing her locker. “Are you still up for going to the diner?” 
“Sure! After school, right?” You said. 
“Yup, but you’re paying this time. Right now I have a dollar to my name.” She said while laughing.
“Right, Right. I guess it is my turn.” You answered while smiling. 
“It totally sucks, too. I really wanted these cute shoes I was looking at.” she replied with a hint of sadness. 
“Don’t flip your wig!” You rejoiced, smiling at her. 
“Yeah, I guess you're right. Plus, that shows I need to be more careful with my money, '' Jennifer sang, laughing.
Just then the bell rang. 
“I really should get going. If not, Mr. Smith will kill me for being late. Again.” You say with a sigh. 
“Gosh, his class is so boring! Okay, cya.” Jennifer spoke while walking away.

“Then he said I was late again?! Like sorry Mr.Smith, I just hate your boring class!” You ranted, chewing your lunch. 
“Right?” Jennifer commented while eating her own lunch. “Anyways, you know Jerry right?” 
“Uhh, yeah. The football guy?” 
“Well, guess what?” The girl marveled grinning ear to ear. She placed her fork down and clapped her hands together. 
 “You know I'm bad at guessing.” You said while giggling at her. 
“Yeah, you're right. Okay, so Jerry asked ME OUT!!” She beamed while shaking her hands and giggling. 
“No way! I’m so happy for you!” You chimed. You stopped eating and looked into her eyes that were full of happiness and excitement. You really did feel so happy for her.
 “So… enough about my love life.” She spoke while giggling, a higher pitched sound than before. You knew what she was going to say. When Jennifer does that you knew she was going to say something that you won’t like. “Did you ever try to talk to Vance?” Jennifer asked with a devilish grin on her face.
“Pfft, no! He probably has a girlfriend or is already talking to some girl…” 
“What? No! Vance is too busy with his dumb game. He literally just got into a fight over that game.” Jennifer grumbled, rolling her eyes. 
You already knew about the fight, since basically everyone has been talking about it for the past week. “I know, but every girl in town has a crush on him!” 
“Maybe you can be the lucky one. Hm?” Jennifer said giggling and giving a goofy smile. “Vance, oh Vance! Your hair looks like a poodle and I love it!” She mimicked your voice and put hand to her forehead when she said the last part.
“Oh, hush! Most people have better ears than my mom!” You stated, trying not to laugh at her antics. “Right, sure.” she said, smirk still on her face. 
“Plus, Vance is a Casanova. I mean just look at him!” You say while daydreaming about him. “That’s true but you're a foxy mama.” Jennifer joked while winking at you.
“Oh shut up you!” You said laughing at her comment. “Hey! It’s true.” Jennifer added while smiling brightly at you she was truly the best at making you smile.

“Later days!” Jennifer spoked as she threw a peace sign at you. “Yeah see you later.” You replied while you were walking out of school. Playing with your hair you couldn’t wait to go with Jennifer to the diner later, though you still need to go and get your money.
‿︵‿︵୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ - - ୨˚̣̣̣͙୧‿︵‿︵ ‿︵‿︵୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ - - ୨˚̣̣̣͙୧‿︵‿︵ ‿︵‿︵୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ -
Vance walked quickly to catch up to her just to at least see her. One day you were walking a few blocks in front of him and he saw you playing with her hair. He was taking every little detail about you, the way your hair flew in the wind. 
The way your hips swayed as you walked he really liked the outfit you were wearing today, it just made you look even more beautiful. He kept looking at you with basically hearts in his eyes. 
Not looking at the ground since he was too busy looking at you. He fell on the hard Concrete floor. He grunted while letting out a small ‘fuck’. He saw you turn around looking right at him.
His checks turned into a light pink color. He saw you walking towards him. ‘Fuck, fuck, fuck!’ He really wished this wasn't how you were really going to talk. All of his thoughts were quickly stopped, when you offered your hand to help him up. You giggled just a bit. He loved the way you giggled, “Hey, are you okay?” “I was better.” He said his cheeks were still light pink. “What’s your name?” 
“It’s Vance… Vance Hopper.”

AND OF COURSE THAT'S THE END
I SHOULD HAVE FREAKING KNOWN
First off, her full name appears to be Ilia Amitola. A very cool name, not that I know what it means
Speaking of SUN GOT FUCKING STABBED?! THAT'S TWO PEOPLE THIS VOLUME!! I know it's not a lot compared to V3 BUT IT STILL HURTS!!
He's gonna be fine, I know that. He didn't die on screen, so he's going to be fine, it's bad form to leave that to another episode. Besides, he's gotta live so he can probably knock some sense into Blake about how this isn't her fault
Weiss summoned the knight!! Fully and successfully!! Plus she seems to putting a plan in motion to get out of Atlas, or at the very least out of the house. But probably out of Atlas so she can reunite with her friends. Please just take Whitley with you, kid needs help
Yang got some fight talk and some emotion talk from her dad. Including how she's like Raven but not TOO much like Raven, which is good because Raven is a Not Good Person
And then we finished off with Sad Teens in the Woods for Ren's trauma to finally be brought to the forefront. Kuroyuri, the village that he almost certainly used to live in and was destroyed. AND THEN THEY SPLIT UP!!! THEY SPLIT THE FREAKING PARTY AND THERE'S A GIANT GRIMM WANDERING AROUND!!!
Sigh
I'd be interested to know what Kuroyuri means. I know Kuro means black (Curse you Voltron), but I don't know what yuri means other than the femslash internet meaning. Someone let me know!
As for me, I had a good time this episode, and I can't wait for the next one. There's a lot of plot threads that are getting close to wrapping up, which is good because I'm pretty sure there are only two episodes left this volume.
World of Remnant is next, and that'll be on Tuesday or Wednesday depending on when I get the time, and then the next episode will be on Friday! If you're a Patreon, I'm gonna be doing the next Volume 3 song on the Discord over the weekend
So until then, thank you all so much to the people on Patreon for supporting this, thank you to the Discord for helping kick my ass back into blogging, and thank you to all of you for reading!
See y'all next time!

Non-Descript Winter Holiday Party
Weiss: Hello- Oh... It's you two.
Emerald: Wow. Aren't you cheery?
Oscar: Hey, Weiss! Uh, everything okay?
Weiss: It's fine, it's fine. Honestly, I'm a little relieved. You're the first non-couple I've seen all night.
Emerald: Really?
Oscar: Really...
Weiss: Yes, and it's a little grating on my nerves to have so many couples over with no other single people to talk to. Everyone is just finishing each other's sentences and rubbing and kissing oh so wholesomely~!
Weiss: It almost makes me want to puke.
Emerald: And a bah humbug to you, too.
Weiss: Well, thankfully you're here, so I don't have to worry about you two sucking face all night.
Oscar: Yeah...
Weiss: Anyways, come on in. There should be plenty of food left unless-
------------------------------------------
Nora: (Shoves another fruitcake into her mouth)
Jaune: ...
Nora: (Mouthful) Whuh? Iz nundezkri-
Jaune: I know what it is, Nora. I just wished you practiced a little self control every now and then, y'know?
Nora: (Swallows) Oh, believe me, I am. You think I'm not holding myself back from taking you and this food into the back room and-
Yang: OKAY! I think that's enough from Nora for tonight. Seriously, were you always this weirdly horny for food and guys?
Nora: Not just any guys. Just the guys I like, like you, but mostly you~! (Snuggles Jaune)
Ren: Even though we never did anything.
Yang: Which is still amazing because Ren is such a-
Jaune: I think it would be better for everyone here to practice a little more self-control.
------------------------------------------
Ruby: And what the heck is that supposed to mean?
Blake: I have nothing against the effort, but I just feel there wasn't enough effort put into the relationship for the ship to mean anything.
Ruby: What do you meeeean?! There was so much effort put in! The setups, the music, the kiss!
Blake: Felt forced, didn't fit the scene, and was weirdly good for two characters in a realistic teen drama to be kissing so well together, despite neither having ANY prior relationships before each other.
Whitley: ...I thought the story was okay.
Sun: Yeah, and the music was sick! I still have that rock song playing on my scroll all the time.
Ruby: See! Sun agrees with me!
Sun: Huh?
Blake: Whitley was right. The story was only okay.
Whitley: What? Nonono, I said-
------------------------------------------
Weiss: So then I told her, "Well, this was your fault for trusting me in the first place!"
Oscar: Hahaha!
Emerald: Heh. Sounds like you guys had fun at Beacon.
Weiss: We did, though you would know, since you were there, too.
Emerald: Yup. Plotting and scheming with Cinder.
Weiss: How did you three pass for students?
Emerald: Apparently, Haven doesn't look too deep when it comes to "late age" students, which probably came from when Spiders would lend out their lackeys as students as a sort of "student exchange" between real students and gangsters.
Weiss: Really?
Oscar: Yup. It's part of why I didn't go to any sort of huntsman schooling. Well, that and my aunt needed my help with the farm.
Ozpin: (Thinking) It's sad to see how far Leo fell, after fighting so hard to get where he did.
Weiss: Oh, excuse me. There's someone at the door.
Emerald: ...What did you guys grow out there?
Oscar: Oh, uh, carrots, turnips, beets. Y'know, the usual.
Emerald: Y'know, I can't say I've ever had beets before.
Oscar: You haven't? They're really good!
Emerald: Yeah? All I see are those red blobs in cans.
Oscar: Well, yeah, but those are actually really good. Especially when you slice them up and put them in your salad.
Emerald: Guess I'll have to try out this recipe of yours then.
Oscar: Really?! Er, I mean... Cool. Cool.
Emerald: Heh heh...
Ozpin: (Sighs)
------------------------------------------
Weiss: ...Is there a reason you're sitting here alone?
Ilia: Ack! I, uh... I'm just, y'know, relaxing, winding down-
Weiss: Staring at Blake?
Ilia: Staring at Bla- No! Of course not! I would never do that!
Weiss: Really? Because from where I'm sitting, there is an entire room of people all conversing, both couples and single people alike, and yet the only thing you've said tonight beyond "Hello" is a sigh. Just because you're single does not excuse your isolation from everyone else here.
Ilia: Oh, what do you know? You've always had someone to talk to! But some of us only had one person, and that one person then chose to leave us behind!
Weiss: It's called growing up. It's a new thing, I know, but it works wonders, I hear.
Ilia: Oh, screw you!
Weiss: ...Wait. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so hostile with you. I've... I know what you mean by being left behind. Everyone at this party is someone I got close to or was the reason they left. It's not easy being single in a party of couples, but... But the least we can do when we're single is to be happily single. So... What say we be happily single... together. Just for tonight.
Ilia: ...Okay.

DATING WEISS SCHNEE — headcanons°.✧
⤿Pairing: Weiss Schnee x Fem!Reader
⤿Content Warnings: Fluff, Weiss is your personal sugar momma credit card, she also can't cook.
⤿A/N: Weiss is a lesbian, I stand by that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
✦Her love languages include gift-giving and acts of service, you know this girl loves helping you. You need help on homework? Let her help. You're at a restaurant and want to sit down? She'll pull the chair for you. You want a drink? She'll pour a glass for you. You can't open a jar of pickles? See, this is why you need to work out sometimes.
✦Speaking of gift-giving, since Weiss has her father's credit card, she's eager to spoil you and make you happy. One time you were celebrating your birthday and walked to your room to find many of your favorite goods along with flower bouquets. You would warn her not to spend her entire money on you and get in trouble with her father, and she would huff just to declare, "I don't care what my father thinks; I just like it when you smile."
✦Your personal spot with Weiss would be a comfortable cafe where you two would catch up. It's one of the first places you two have gone during your dates. It's a memorable spot for Weiss. She'd buy your favorite drink and sit with you while having a conversation about how your days have been.
✦She really has a good fashion sense, from dressing in white dresses to white overcoats to white suits even (along with a rose in her hand).
✦On a date, you wore the baby-blue dress she had bought for you along with a dark leather jacket with boots, and I have to tell you that her jaw was wide open, but she quickly composed herself and coughed with a red blush plastered on her pale cheeks. She tried hard to contain a serious look but couldn't help but smile at your gorgeous appearance! She felt like she was going to explode—in a good way.
✦Weiss can't cook, but it's cute seeing her attempt to make something for you. With that, she's banned from the kitchen. You take the lead in cooking; she appreciates it a lot. In some days, you two would sit together and relax to eat cookies you baked (also with Ruby trying to steal one but that results in Weiss scolding her) with tea.
✦Weiss is shy with affection; she would give you a peck on the cheek or a small kiss. She would get very red if you tried to initiate a kiss; she would call you a dolt after that. On some occasions, however, she gains the confidence to sweep you off your feet. She would hold you by the waist and connect her soft lips to yours. She'd pull back with a soft look and say, "You're lucky you're cute, dolt."
✦She might come off as arrogant, a bit insensitive, and mean sometimes, but for you, she's the softest person ever. Whenever you're around, her ice queen persona suddenly disappears, and her teammates notice it, especially Yang and Blake. Yang would tease the white-haired girl, and Blake would just sit back, smirking with a book in her hands.
"Who would ever thought there's actually someone who can melt the ice queen's heart!" Yang laughs.
"Shut up you brute!" Weiss exclaims, irritated.
✦She doesn't call you any pet names much at the start of your relationship because she was timid, but after a while she loves calling you "Princess," "Honey/Hun," "Love," and with a frequent "Darling." "Dolt" is a playful nickname she calls you. She's actually pretty lovey-dovey and cheesy, and it honestly makes Ruby question whether to aw or barf.
✦Weiss loves you very much—much more than you know. She's honestly hesitant to tell her family about you out of fear, but now that you're deeper into the relationship, she's not scared to show you off; she will not care about what her father thinks, and she knows her sister will support you two. Whitley is indifferent about it; he's probably busy being a brat, Weiss thought. She is willing to fight for you; she is protective and will defend you in any way. You would do the same for her as well, and that makes her love you even more.
"You make me feel like I'm me, I just want you to know that I love you, you don't know how much I do," she smiles shyly, she kisses you and softly voices "Maybe one day, you'll take my last name."

Desk Gremlins
NSFW
[home office]
Weiss:*writing*
Jaune:*walks in* How’s filling in for your brother?
Weiss:I don’t know why I ever wanted to inherit the company. The moment he gets back from vacation I am taking one.
Jaune:It’s been two weeks.
Weiss:That’s too long!
Jaune:*hands her a plate* Does this help.
Weiss:Thank you. I’ll eat it in a moment. I have an online meeting in 5 minutes.
Jaune:A good one?
Weiss:It’s a company meeting. Good versions of those don’t exist. Only old people in suits talking for at least an hour while I write what I think is important.
Jaune:So nothing?
Weiss:I’ll write their names. That way I can tell Whitley which ones annoyed me the most. They just need a Schnee to oversee the meeting since they can’t be trusted to not try something under our noses.
Jaune:…And they aren’t fired because…?
Weiss:Name of the game. These particular people haven’t tried anything. It just happened so many times over the years we now have to keep an eye out. *leans back* I can’t wait for this to be over.
Weiss lets out a long sigh. A boop on the nose manages to get a small laugh out of her. Weiss looks at Jaune as he starts leaning down. She slowly sat forward, ready for her goodbye kiss. However, it never comes. Weiss watches continue to lean down until she audibly gasps as he gets underneath the desk and pulls her chair in. A gentle kiss on her right knee and fingers trailing up her legs jumpstarts Weiss’s brain into speaking.
Weiss:Sir!? Excuse me!?
Jaune:Lift your hips…
Weiss:I am working!
Jaune:You’re stressed and just observing aren’t you? Keep focus up there and I’ll focus down here.
Weiss:That is not the p- eep!
He got bold and put her right leg over her shoulder, pulling her waist a little closer and burying his face between her legs. Blush reached Weiss’s ears as Jaune’s breath made her spine tingle. Instead of repeating his request, her dummy of a husband decided to moved her panties to the side and give Weiss a slow, deliberate lick along her clit that made her legs clench.
She was about to try protesting again when her laptop blinked and the call started. Weiss’s face went stone cold and she put her hands in front of her on the desk.
Investors:Greetings Mrs. Schnee. Ready to begin?
Weiss:Absolutely. Start whenever you’re ready.
In life, fortune favors the bold, and Weiss couldn’t believe she didn’t what was happening. Such risky behavior should make her upset, but that was a rather difficult when it was for her own pleasure. Jaune at least had enough sense to keep the pace slow, yet there was no way to stop her heart from skipping a beat when she felt is tongue slide in. Weiss began writing so she had an excuse to look away from the screen when possible. This was cruel! In Jaune’s efforts to be discreet, Weiss had to endure entrance being traced repeatedly and his nose rubbing against her.
Ironically enough, Jaune tried not to needlessly distract her by looking up or making noise. That second part was a little difficult the wetter she got. He got into the zone a little as her sweet scent dulled his senses. It would’ve stayed that way if he hadn’t received a flick on the forehead. He looked up to see her still focused on the laptop. Perhaps he was going overboard? Jaune tried moving back to give her a moment, but found himself caught off guard when the leg on his shoulder kept him firmly in place. The hand that had flicked him now combed through his hair, gripping it gently as Weiss pressed him harder into her. Oh…his eyes flickered. Weiss wanted more. Jaune couldn’t help but smile before pressing his tongue deep into Weiss’s core, earning a tighter grip on his hair.
The young woman quickly glanced down to see seductive eyes devouring her. She did her best to give a “how dare you” gaze, but even that wasn’t convincing when her body so easily betrayed her expression. Weiss gave a tiny huff to steady her breathing and refocus on the laptop. This was gonna be a long meeting.
xxxxx
Whitley:*sipping tea* I wonder if Weiss is okay?
Ruby:She’ll be alright. I gave Jaune a list of ways to help if she gets annoyed; like how I help you.
Whitley:*squints*
Ruby:Ya know…cooking and kisses!
Whitley:Oh, yeah that makes sense.
Ruby:(Hehehehe….)

——
“It just doesn’t feel right, naming your child after your own sister. I’m sorry, you cannot name your baby Alexis.”
“Hold on. You will not talk to your daughter like that,” Kelly defended, “she has birthed a child today. Our child, not yours. She and I have the right to name our child whatever we want.”
You reached over and ended the FaceTime call. 
“Are you okay?” He asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I’m not changing the name though.”
“Maybe if we give her some time, she’ll come around.”
“Why would she even say something like that?”
“Let’s not focus on her right now. The only people that matter right now are you and Alexis. I’ll take Alexis and let you get some sleep.”
“It’s a good thing I’ve got you to take care of me. I don’t know what I’d do.”
——
Kelly rubbed your arm as to wake you up from your nap. 
“Baby, Doctor Calhoun is here. She wants to check on you,” he whispered as you started to open your eyes.
“Thanks,” you exhaled, sitting up in your bed.
“How are you feeling?” Dr Calhoun asked.
“Sore, but my baby is okay and that’s all that matters,” you smiled.
“Any issues with feeding?”
“None so far. Eats like a champ,” you laughed.
“Must be the firehouse blood in her,” Kelly smiled.
“I’ll be back to check on you in a bit,” Doctor Calhoun replied.
As Doctor Calhoun left the room, you passed Alexis to Kelly.
“Baby, what’s wrong?” he asked.
“I’ve got to go talk to a nurse. Aaron wanted to meet the baby,” you replied, getting the slippers from your bag.
“Let me get you a wheelchair.”
“I’m fine.”
“You just had a baby. I’ll get you a wheelchair and we’ll go together. Take Alexis, I’ll get the wheelchair from the hall.”
You took Alexis from Kelly’s arms. He ran to the hall and brought a wheelchair back in.
“Thank you, baby,” you winced, sitting down.
He smiled, wheeling you over to the nurse’s station. 
“Can you help me find a patient?” You asked.
“I can try,” the nurse responded.
“I’m looking for Aaron Whitley. He was here for a valve replacement this morning.”
“Let me check which room he’s in.”
“Thank you.”
As the nurse searched through the records, you rubbed Alexis’ back.
“I’m sorry Mrs Severide. Mr Whitley passed away in surgery. Cardiac arrest.”
“Oh,” tears filled your eyes, “thank you. I guess I’ll go back to my room.”
Kelly brought you back to you room and got you back in your bed.
“I can’t believe he’s gone,” you admitted, tears running down your face, “he came in for a damn valve replacement and we made a plan to meet up after.”
“Matt and Sylvie wanted to come by. Maybe that’ll cheer you up.”
“Aren’t they still on shift?”
“Apparently 51 is getting a little restless because it’s been a light load of calls this shift.” Kelly couldn’t help but chuckle at his own sentence.
“Sure. Invite the firehouse. It would be good for them to meet Alexis.”
“Mind if I take Alexis off your hands while I call Boden?”
“Go for it. I’m going to go talk to the nurses.”
You hopped back into the wheelchair and brought yourself into the hallway to the nurses station to find the same nurse you had just spoken with. 
“Excuse me. Can I ask you if Aaron Whitley had anyone in the waiting room during his surgery?”
“I’ll phone down to the surgical floor and ask for you. Just give me one moment.”
After a few minutes of the nurse talking on the phone, she had finally finished her call.
“The staff on the surgical floor said they spoke with a son to tell him Mr Whitley passed. A young man by the name of Mark Whitley.”
“Is he still here?”
“They said he was saying a final goodbye. If you’d like to speak with him, he should be in 1216.”
“1216? Thank you so much.”
You wheeled yourself back to your room. 
“Kelly, I need to go to 1216 right now,” you rushed, “bring Alexis too please.”
Kelly handed Alexis to you and brought you into the elevator.
“Where are we going?” He asked.
“Aaron needs to meet this baby.”
“Baby, Aaron is dead.”
“He still should get the chance to meet her.”
As the elevator dinged, the doors opened and Kelly brought you down the hall to room 1216. A younger man was outside the door.
“Excuse me, are you Mark Whitley?”
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry, I met your father earlier today. He was going for his valve replacement and I was waiting for my c-section. We spoke on the benches out front and he told me about you. Said he hadn’t seen you in a while so I offered to bring the baby down, to sort of cheer him up.”
“So you knew him almost as well as I did.”
“Do you mind if I pay my respects?”
“Go ahead. I’m not staying.”
Kelly brought you into the room where Aaron was.
“Ready?” He asked, his hands at the top of the sheet covering Aaron’s face.
You nodded slightly as Kelly pulled back the sheet revealing Aaron’s lifeless face. 
“I told you I’d bring the baby to see you,” you began to tear up, “she’s healthy and she’s beautiful and you couldn’t stay alive long enough to keep your side of our deal.”
“Baby, this isn’t about Aaron anymore,” Kelly began to rub your back.
“You just had to go through it by yourself. Didn’t tell anyone. There were people who love you. We could’ve helped.”
Tears streamed down your face as you held Alexis a little tighter.
“Why don’t we go back to the room?” Kelly asked, covering Aaron’s face with the sheet.
You nodded and Kelly brought you out of the room and over to the elevator.
Tucking yourself back into your bed and Alexis back in her own, you feel more tears stream down your face.
“Baby,” Kelly started, “what can I do?”
“He just reminds me so much of my dad,” you cried.
He sat on your bed and hugged you, holding your head over his shoulder. Your tears fell on the shoulder of the squad jacket he was wearing. 
“Is the whole thing with your mom affecting it?” 
“Yeah,” you whimpered.
He rubbed your back as you cried more and more. 
“It’ll be okay, baby. It’ll all be okay,” he assured you, “what can I do?”
“Take care of me.”
“Of course baby. I’ll always be here to take care of you.”

Blake 'only child' Belladonna suddenly finds herself with three new siblings
In my previous post, I talked about some headcanons I have fer the ship Snowleopard regarding how the parents would interact with the kids. Now, it's time to unleash some ideas I got fer how Blake and the Schneeblings would interact if their parents dated in a super healthy bi4bi4bi pilfish polycule, or as I like to call it, Bellaschneebling headcanon time >:)))
-First and foremost, poly pilfs = endless potential fer never before seen Winter and Blake shenanigans
-Can y'all imagine Winter acting 'weird' towards Blake- appearing outta nowhere to give advice like 'your form would be better if you did xyz' or randomly giving Blake water bottles throughout the day or glaring at strangers and being super tensed and serious when they're out in town together in an otherwise chill walk to meet up with the others- and when Blake goes to Weiss outta concern and explaining the situation Weiss is like, "Oh! Oh my dust! Blake, do you know what this means???"
"If I did, I wouldn't be asking you for help right now."
"Blake, my sister officially sees you as her own younger sibling!"
"Are, are you sure?"
"I'm positive! Winter is not the most conventional when it comes to showing it, but she really does care in her own way. When she gives you criticism, it's because she knows you can do better and she wants you to the best you can possibly be. The water thing is something she used to do for Whitley and I growing up, I've always believed it because she picked it up from Klein that making sure people stay hydrated is a form of love. The glaring thing is probably because people were staring at your ears, I know I do it all the time."
"...Excuse I think I need to lie down and cry a little."
-No because fer real it's so funny to think that the once snobbish Schneeblings are all ready to throw absolute h a n d s fer their new Faunus sister like, "Oh, you're a racist prick? Whitley, please call a paramedic because-" *gets into summoning form where Arma Gigas launches Winter at the asshole*
-Meanwhile instead of calling for medical staff to clean up the bloodbath that's about to ensue Whitley's just typing away on his scroll doxxing the shit outta the racist asshole's worst secrets and wow Blake feels so loved right now, like, kinda concerned, but very loved right now
-Anyways, it's funny to joke about Winter scolding Blake when she learns about her terrorist past, but overall after her growth in V8 I think she'd be more like, "While I still don't approve most of the stunts you pulled as a vigilante child, stealing from the hyper-exploiting SDC is... fairly understandable."
-After clearing the air about Blake's past, we get Winter being lowkey protective of Blake bc MANNN does that Eldest Daughter Older Sister Instinct ™ go crazyyyy sometimes like this shit does not discriminate. Winter sees a new younger sibling figure and BAM she's already taking the young Belladonna heir under her wing
-Blake has no idea how to handle having an older sibling figure looking out fer her because she grew up as an independent only child who could only count on herself. To make matters worse it's the eldest Schnee she was never personally close to now, uh, giving her almost backhanded compliments as advice fer fixing her form, suddenly popping up asking Blake if she's ate yet, small lectures on the importance of a balanced diet and how important it is that she takes care of herself, etc etc
-In the end, Blake can tell Weiss was right and these random interactions from Winter come from a genuine place of care and she's honestly super honored to be accepted as a younger sibling to the stern woman
-At one point, Winter asks Blake to spar with her because she wants to study her newest sibling's fighting style up close and personal and therefore assess any weaknesses she should strengthen. At first Winter's like "Oh she's mainly a sword user I'm an expert on swords alright I have a foundation on how to fight her" but then Blake switches over to chain scythe gun mode with her cleaver sheather in the other hand (see black trailer) and suddenly all that goes OUT THE WINDOW OKAY DANG
-I personally headcannon that Winter never really got to see Blake go all out in her fighting, and since Blake really wants to impress her new older sister she pulls out her best moves and tricks and Winter is really impressed!!! She still beats Blake bc she's a master huntsman with tonnnss of experience (not to mention maiden powers giving her boosted strength and endurance) but man she has never fought someone like her new sister before!! She's so!!! Versatile!! Especially with those dust infused clones that kept her guessing
-Winter doesn't outright say it but Blake can tell she's proud of her new sibling from that prideful glint in her eyes and wow okay is this how Ruby feels everytime Yang praises her because this feeling is GREAT
-Speaking of Yang, she teases Blake relentlessly at her becoming Winter's new target of Eldest Sister Protectiveness™ and Ruby joins in like, "Get used to it, Blake, trust me I'm the expert younger sibling here."
"Hey!!! I'm not as weird about it as Winter is!!"
"Uhhh huhh- WHA YANG AKFMAKFKQK!!"
-As Winter and Blake watch the Xiao Long-Rose sisters wrestle on the ground, the eldest Schnee daughter turns to her newest sibling and says, "While I accept you as my family, I don't believe our dynamic will ever reach that... level."
"Oh, agreed."
-Yang and Blake both being sisters to Weiss through relationships because I am a filthy, filthy Whiterose shipper. When the parents first told the gang that they were dating, Yang was like, "HAH! Sorry Blake, but imagine being a sister to the ice queen herself!" to which Blake just replied, "Uh, Yang..." and tosses a pointing thumb over to where Ruby is hugging and comforting a confused as all fuck Weiss with forehead kisses and everything and Yang is just like, "Damn, you got me there."
-(Weiss did come around to adoring the Pilfadonnas pretty quickly but she was just so confused and shocked at first like weiss.exe isn't working like my girl bluescreened so hard so just give her a minute to process please and thank you)
-What I'm saying is can we get Yang antagonizing Weiss on TWO (2!) separate fronts? "Hey you're dating my baby sister" shovel talk type shenanigans only turn around with such a shiteating grin that only "Hey I'm dating your sister and there's nothing you can do about it" bullshit can pull? Please? Suffering Weiss™ forever and ever
-But know what's better than Suffering Weiss™? Suffering Weiss™ AND Suffering Winter™ babbbyyy :DDD!!
-I really need Robyn teasing the utter shit outta Winter at how quickly she got attached to Blake in an Older Sister Must Protect™ way shortly after learning of her mother's relationship with Blake's parents. Why, you may ask? Because I am also filthy, filthy Schneewood Forest trash who is going to insert my Schneewood Forest Reconnecting Exes AU into any Winter related thing I can
-To add to the Suffering Schneeisters Agenda™, we're going to move on to the Whitley and Blake potential in my Snowleopard rotted brain
-At first, Whitley is 'testing' Blake to see if she's worthy as a sister (he's actually just being a little shit and already knows of Blake's many merits) and Weiss is telling him to knock it off because bro is borderline ANTAGONIZING her to see what he can get away with
-But then it's like oh damn are those ninja moves are actually cool as fuck okay yeah she's defo waayyy cooler than his other sibs and next thing you know Whitley is very publicly announcing Blake as his new favorite sister by far just to mess with Weiss and Winter and see their reaction
-They know he's just being a little shit and they roll their eyes and say, "I'm glad you're finally warming up to Blake as a sister" but like, deep down they're grumbling, "I could do those cool ninja flips too.. probably..."
-Just like how her token only child ass isn't used to the protective care of an older sibling, Blake isn't used to the lowkey hero worship that comes with a younger sibling looking up to her. It's a strange feeling at first, and takes a bit to get used to, but in no way bad. Whitley tries to act all above it all at first, but Blake easily catches the way his eyes sparkle when she recounts her White Fang adventures to him and finds herself rather fond of the younger boy since he's finally letting go of his old snobbish ways and shaping into a good kid. Yang is just so proud of her girlfriend and says, "Yeah, it's quite a bit of pressure to live up to their expectations of you, but that feeling of wanting to try for them anyways never really goes away."
-Once Whitley lets himself relax around Blake he actually comes up with epic prank ideas involving her clone semblance and oh my god bro they're absolute menaces together because let the kids be KIDS your honor
-Suffering Weiss™ is at an all time high especially when Yang joins in on the fun because she'll never miss out on an opportunity to flex her title as the CEO of Suffering Weiss™ Instigation
-Suffering shenanigans aside I think Blake would be a really good influence fer Whitley. He'd be super open to Blake's suggestions/guidance on how to use the SDC resources he's now in control of and together they can work on ways to help better the Faunus who have been exploited by the SDC fer so long
-Family bonding where Blake makes and pours some tea fer the Schneeblings, and she nonchalantly mentions how this tea recipe is the one she grew up with and often shared with her family and how some of her happiest childhood memories are laced with the warmth of this special tea and casually says, "I'm just so happy that I can make new memories with my new family- are you guys okay?!"
-No the Schneeblings aren't all in various state of Big Emotions right now whattttt (Weiss has tears in her eyes and a shaky smile, Winter is turned away staring at a random wall with her jaw visibly clenched, Whitley is trembling a little tryna process all of this because for so long he was alone and isolated)
-We all been knew that Weiss would not hesitate to kill fer Blake but it took Winter and Whitley like .2 seconds to throw themselves onto that same train once they really got to know her, making Blake Belladonna prolly one of the most protected people in all of Remnant (she's got all three of the Schneeblings and everything that the SDC can provide, her badass parents with all of Menagerie at their beck and call, the rest of her friends who are formidable warriors like Xiao Long-Rose sisters, JNR, Qrow, etc etc etc)
-In conclusion, the Bellaschneeblings have my whole entire heart and I hope y'all love 'em too, I'll prolly post more headcanons of 'em when I can :DD!!

Rebirth au: I can believe that Winter could considering Weiss and Whitley are more... physically alike because they got their dad. Winter was bigger thanks to getting that Arc DNA in her working with Willow DNA.
We Have Some Questions
A legacy.
She was the progenitor of the, Schnee legacy. A legacy of honour, duty, and compassion that help shaped the nation of, Atlas into what it was today.
One that strove for the betterment for all of the world’s inhabitants, whether they be human, or faunas. It didn’t care for where one was from, who one was, all that mattered was that they could help their fellow man.
Schnee. A name that bore honour, and duty with pride. One that all could gaze upon with pride.
A name that was now one that all those he said cursed, and spat upon, all because of one mans insatiable greed, and the blindness of one poor woman.
A woman who once had everything that truly mattered: A family to love, a husband that loved her, and a family name to bare with pride. And, now she had nothing, nothing, but the bottle of vodka that lay in her hand, and the many more that lay strewed about the floor of her room.
This was to be the sorry life of the sad drunkard, Willow Schnee. Whose only escape from purgatory was to be found at the bottom of a bottle.
Willow: Here’s to the, Schnee family… I’m sorry for failing you dad…
She was about to take another drink when a comforting hand rested upon her shoulder, while another gently grabbed the bottle, and took it away from her.
Willow: Huw…? Wait, who are…? J-Jun…?
Juniper: Hello, Willow.
Willow turned to see a face with a pearlescent smile, eyes that shined like the finest cut amethyst gems, and hair that shinned like finely woven golden threads. It was the face of her dear friend, Juniper Arc.
Willow: J-Jun…? I-Is that really you?
Juniper: I’m really here, Willow, you haven’t been drinking that much.
Juniper took her eyes away from her friend for a moment to examine all the empty bottles that littered the floor about her before returning her attention back to her friend.
Juniper: At least I hope so…
Willow: W-Why are you here…?
Juniper: We needed to talk with you.
Willow: We?
She felt a weight on the bed sit next to her. Willow’s icey blue eyes turned to stare in deepest blue eyes she knew. A soft smile showed across his face, as he lovingly wrapped an arm around her, and held her close. She thought she would never see this blond hair man ever again, but as she gazed upon him, tears started to swell in the corners of her eyes.
Willow: A-Achiues…? Is that you…?
Acheius: Hello, Willow, it’s me. It’s nice to see you again.
Willow: Acheius… Jun… W-Why are you here? How did you get in here at that?
Juniper: Klein let us in, and we’re here because we needed to talk with you.
Willow: A-About what…?
Juniper: About…
Acheius: Jun… I think we better sober her up first before we ask her anything. She’s not in a good mind set to answer our questions.
Juniper: You’re right… we best get you out of here then, Willow. Besides, I don’t like being here, this place feels like it’s been defiled with his taint.
Acheius: Can’t argue with that. Now, let’s get out of here before we accidentally come across that thing. Come here, Willow.
Willow: W-Wait…? What’s going on…?
Willow would have tried to fight them off, but she was too inebriated in her drunken state that she couldn’t put up a fight, and the gentle swaying of her body as, Acheius effortlessly carried her away swiftly let sleep fall across her as the duo stole her away.
~~~
The first sight, Willow saw when she woke up were bedsheets that were not her own, and yet they felt more comfortable than any other. She tiredly removed herself from her bed, feeling a soft texture upon her body, looking down she saw she was wearing pyjamas they were not her own, a deep rich violet that smelt like lilacs. She pounder at who these belonged to for a moment before she slowly got up, and made her way through the door.
As she passed through the door she heard the sound of food frying, and soft humming. As she came closer she saw her friend, Juniper give her a warm smile as she gestured for her to take a seat at the table. Nothing was said between the two as a cup of coffee was set down before her. Willow picked up the cup, and smelt the rich aroma of vanilla waft through her nostrils. She took a sip as her mind was filled with happier, simpler times.
Willow: You know… If I had woken up in my bed, I would have thought that seeing the two of you was a drunken hallucination. And, yet, here you are… But, why?
A plate of scrambled eggs, and well cooked sausages were placed before her before, Acheius sat next to his wife on the opposite side of the table.
Juniper: We’ll explain after you’ve eaten, okay?
Willow: Very well…
The trio soon started eating the only sound being heard was the scrapping of utensils on plate. They quickly finished their breakfast, and move to the couch with, Willow sitting in the middle, with the two, Arc’s sitting on either side of her.
Juniper: I know you have many questions to ask us, why we’re here, and why we well… kidnapped you, but before that I need to know how you’re feeling, Willow.
Willow sighed before she looked at her dearest friend with a tired smile.
Willow: My head aches from another hangover, and I feel exhausted… But, just having you here, Jun makes me feel worlds better.
Juniper smiled as she reassuringly squeezed her friends hand. Her hand soon left hers as she took a deep breath before she locked her gaze with her friend.
Juniper: Willow… We need to talk to you about something…
Willow: About what?
Juniper: Do you… Do you remember the night… The night we held your, Hen Night…?
A blush spread across, Willow’s face. She remembered that night. Juniper, and her friends had gotten together for her, ‘Hen Party.’ It was a wild, and boisterous night where they just danced the night away, and then in the evening, Juniper decided that the night wasn’t over for the two of them.
Juniper had drag, Willow to the hotel where her, and her husband were staying at, and decided that she should spend the night together. That the three of them should spend the night together intimately. Whether it was because of her inebriated state of mind, or how she was just swept up in the passion of the moment. She didn’t deny their advances, and looked back on that night as one of her fondest memories.
Willow: I remember… Even if we were quite drunk at the time, I do remember.
Juniper: G-Good… That’s good… Willow… That night the three of us got together happened twenty-three years ago. And, your oldest daughter… Winter Is now twenty-two years old now. So… Willow…
Willow: Yes?
Juniper: I-Is… Is, Winter…?
Juniper: …
Juniper: Is, Winter…!
Acheius: Jun, I need to be the one who asks her this.
Archeius smiled softly as he stared into, Willow’s eyes, he gently held her hand as he steadied his breathing before he asked her a question that he never thought he would have to ask.
Acheius: Willow… Winter… She isn’t, Jacques daughter is she, she really mine, isn’t she?
Willow’s eyes widened in fear as a sharp gasp was caught in her throat as she turned her away from, Acheius. He head hung low as she felt, Juniper hesitantly placed her hand on her back. She took a deep breath before she spoke.
Willow: I thought, we all thought, Winter was born prematurely, but she was a perfectly healthy baby so we thought nothing of it. But, when she was about one years old, she got sick so I took her to the hospital, during the checkup, they gave me a list of information… And, I discovered… Winter’s blood type is, O-.
Acheius: …
Juniper: W-What does that have to do with anything?
Willow: My blood type is, B+, Jacques blood type is also, B+… And, so is my other daughter, Weiss, and my son, Whitely.
Juniper: Okay…? I ask again: What does that have to do with anything?
Acheius: Juniper… Children often inherit their blood types from their parents.
Juniper: And…?
Acheius: My blood type… My blood type is O-.
Juniper: Wait…?!
Acheius: Winter Schnee is not, Jacques Gelés daughter… She’s my daughter.
Juniper’s eyes widened in shock as the knowledge settled in. Of course she was willing to accept the idea that, Winter could be, Acheius daughter, but to confirm that she actually was his. Well, how the duo would choose to act next would decide a great many things.
Acheius: Willow… Willow please look at me…
Willow slowly rose her head, tears welling up in her eyes as she revealed her face to, Acheius. A storm of shame blew across her heart as she feared the next words he would speak.
Acheius: Willow… Why didn’t you tell me, why didn’t you tell either of us for that matter? Were you scared how we would react to this?
Willow: You two just had your second child a few months before that night. You have been happily married for years. I didn’t… I couldn’t come between the two of you, and potentially ruin what the two of you have. So… I said nothing. No one, but me knew who the real father is, so… ‘The best way to keep a secret is to tell no one you have a secret…’ So, I did…
Juniper: Oh, Willow…
Willow turned to gaze upon her friend who softly smiled at her dear friend.
Juniper: Listen… It was me who said we should have a threesome in the first place. If your getting pregnant because of my husband is anyone’s, anyone’s fault it’s mine. And, if we knew you were pregnant with, Acheius’s kid back then, we would have taken responsibility.
Willow: You would have…?
Acheius: If I had know that I accidentally knocked you up, well, I would have barged in the middle of your wedding, screamed, ‘I object!’ Clocked, Jacques square in the face, picked you up, and ran off back home with you.
Willow: R-Really…?!
Acheius: Without a shadow of a doubt.
Willow: B-But, you two are married?! Y-You wouldn’t divorce, Juniper just to be with me!
Juniper: Meh. Polygamy is legal in, Vale. You would just be, Acheius second wife, and my first wife. No big deal.
Willow: Polygamy is legal in, Vale?
Juniper: Yep. Gotta keep the population up somehow.
Willow: How do you know this.
Juniper: I’ve been pushing my son to have a harem, and most of his potential harem partners at the moment happen to be his siblings. So I need to make sure the legality is not in the way of propagating the future, Arc legacy.
Willow: …
Willow: What…?
Acheius: Best ignore her, trust me, it easier that way.
Willow: So… If I was not married to, Jacques right now… What would you two do…?
Acheius: Well… I’m not really sure… I don’t know you as well as, Juniper does. But, you are the mother to my child. So, I would be willing to die to protect you, Willow. To protect you both.
Willow: You would…?
Acheius: Arc’s promise.
Willow smiled as a blush spread across her face. She knew that she couldn’t trust on her husband to do the same, he would probably leave her behind to die in fact to buy himself time to escape. So, the warm feeling that spread through her heart from his sincere words were the sign that she knew of the truth of this mans words.
Willow: And, what would you do, Juniper?
Willow turned to address her friend who smiled comfortingly as she gently grabbed her friends face, and pulled her close to plant a soft yet passionate kiss upon her dear friends lips. They stayed lip-locked for a while before, Juniper broke the kiss, smiling a smile of love that, Willow had never before seen.
Juniper: I would have shown you what true love is, and remind you everyday what love truly is.
Tears started falling down down, Willow’s face as she pulled in her dear friend for a deep hug as the duo basked in a warm embrace that soon grew more powerful as, Acheius, stood up, and knelt before the pair, wrapping his arms around them like a guardian angel watching over his loved ones.
The hug lasted for quite some time before the trio broke the hug, and separated themselves. Willow dapped away the tears with her hand, before she smiled at the pair. It was a smile filled withe hope, hope, and joy, a pair of emotions she had nearly forgotten during the course of her heartless marriage. But, with these two wonderful people besides her, she knew she would never lose this feeling again.
Willow: So, what do we do now?
Acheius: Well… There are many things we could do… Getting rid of, Jacquues, and getting control of the , SDC back to you would be a good place to start.
Juniper: We should ask, Jaune to help us with that. He could probably help us get away with murder if we let him do it.
Willow: M-Murder…?
Acheius: Possible, Highly possible… But, before we devise, Jacques ultimate downfall. There is one thing we must do first.
Juniper: What’s that?
Acheius knelt before, Willow, gently placing his hand in hers before staring deeply into her eyes.
Acheius: Willow… Can you introduce me to my estrange daughter?

Hi, I hope this question isn’t weird.
I’m writing a fantasy piece involving romance between a white man and a black man who end up living together and eventually married. Would it be inappropriate for the white man to learn how to help his husband with his hair, specifically with stuff like braiding? He would be learning how from his brother in law. I just think the idea of them playing with and doing each other’s hair was cute but I realize that the white husband may have to learn some things before he is able to reciprocate well. I worry that this may come off as something other than him doing it out of love for his husband (although I don’t know what that would be so that may just be paranoia).
Thank you!
Can my white character braid their black partner’s hair?
Absolutely, they can. A white partner or even friend can definitely braid their Black partner’s hair. There’s a certain amount of cultural sharing that goes into having a close relationship with someone of another background. Common ones I see are the sharing and exchange of food, language, traditions, and at times helping and learning about one’s hair and how they care and style it. And I would expect no less from a white parent that has Black children. 
I agree with you that it’s a cute. bonding moment to see. (And if I knew how to braid and style well myself, maybe I'd teach my husband, although sometimes I have him help me wash and detangle..!)
Tumblr media
Marvel’s Misty Knight and Danny Rand in Secret Wars: Secret Love Vol 1 #1 (2015). Danny is putting Misty’s hair in bantu knots. Story: Jeremy Whitley, Artist: Gurihiru
I only find it weird when it’s hyped up like an amazing feat when a white person can do things that BIPOC do on the daily. Appreciation and being impressed at their skillset is fine, but just remember that it doesn’t make them some celebrity [insert the cringe proverbial cookout invite]. It could also just be a discussion and casually happen.

Im actually gonna cry of laughter.
Okay so Jaune says to Ruby this: Oh let’s not forget the REASON we’re in the Ever After in the first place is because of YOUR plan that didn’t work!
So he’s accusing Ruby of their being stuck in the Ever After because HER plan didn’t work, right. HER plan.
So I went back to Volume 8 and I rewatched the part where the plan to use the Staff was made, in V8 episode 12. Because using the staff is specifically why they’re in the Ever After. And... well:
~~~
Nora: Guys, she has to go to the Vault.
Ruby: That’s actually a risk we haven’t considered.
Jaune: We've been so worried about keeping the Vault closed that we never considered using what's inside.
Oscar: The Staff of Creation.
Ruby: Maybe we could use it to save Penny and get everyone in Atlas and Mantle back to safety.
....
Okay, so Ruby, Oscar, AND Jaune are ALL framed as together coming to the revelation that they can use the Staff here. They’re essentially all talking about the same thing to build to Oscar spelling it out explicitly, and then Ruby just elaborates by saying “Hey! Maybe we can use it to solve both of our problems!”
Point being, they all have equal say and are all framed as coming to this conclusion. Keep that in mind.
....
Weiss: So we've got people trapped in Atlas and Mantle that we can't evacuate unless we use the Staff which is located inside the Vault. If we open the Vault, Penny terminates. If Ironwood gets wind of any of this, he blows up Mantle.
Oscar: There's something else to consider. Once the Staff creates anything else, the city drops. Atlas has enough natural Gravity Dust to keep it from plummeting immediately, but, well, nobody's going to want to be around when it touches down.
Jaune stops using his Semblance.
Jaune: Okay, then let's use the Staff to teleport everyone to safety. Maybe even to another Kingdom.
~~~
So, this is in the mansion, when they’re hashing out how to use the Staff. We’ve shifted from Ruby, Oscar, and Jaune being the most proactive with planning to Weiss/Whitley, Oscar, Jaune, and Ruby.
Oscar is mainly relaying info about the Staff so they can account for it, and Weiss is just revising their current situation. Neither are doing much actual problem-solving aside from Weiss’s vague suggestion at the end of the scene that she has a way to deal with Ironwood and his bomb.
Ruby has lines about planning not in this specific scene, but as a voiceover about them entering the vault to get the staff to stop Penny’s termination. In the actual vault, she’s the one who spearheads appealing to Ambrosius to help Penny. She’s constantly associated with the half of the plan involving Penny, as in, she doesn’t even have lines pertaining to the evacuation aside from her initial suggestion.
Now, JAUNE is the one who is elaborating on using the staff to take care of the civilians, specifically saying they should use it to move them to another kingdom, and WEISS/WHITLEY are the ones who supply the schematics for the paths and spearhead asking Ambrosius about this part of the plan. Furthermore, JNR are the ones associated with and taking care of the evacuation, with Jaune spearheading it. The evacuation portion of the plan is specifically what landed them in the Ever After, especially considering the Staff has a significant degree of flexibility in how it can be used despite the limitations.
All this to say that this was not Ruby’s plan alone. She doesn’t even get lines about it aside from her initial vague idea to use the staff to solve both their problems. This plan is also Jaune’s. It’s also technically Weiss’s. They are the ones that contributed the most to putting that part of the plan together, specifying how exactly they’re going to use the Staff for the evacuation, and leading it. They are all framed as equal contributors to the plan.
So where the FUCK does Jaune get off only blaming Ruby for this? Like he’s some subordinate just following Ruby’s plan when he’s not only a team leader himself, but he ALSO was shown to have equal say and even a majority association with the part of the plan that landed them in the Ever After. Ruby certainly didn’t force him into it.
He can apparently (vaguely) angst over his responsibility in Penny’s death but as soon as he can slough off the blame he’s alllll for yelling at Ruby and ignoring his own part lmfao.
