Have you done Snowbird?

I'm going to answer both this one and @rachelnicole-san 's ask both here bc I dont remember which one is qrowxwinter or winterxrobyn. So I'm just gonna do both in one post.

Winter x Robyn

Hmmmm I ship it...? Maybe. Not because I dislike anything about it, Im just not that strongly attached to it.

But! The whole opposites attracts thing it has goin on is pretty neat! Honestly their relationship could be a little comical, esp if they went to atlas academy together... I would like to see it

Winter x Qrow

Honesty, I feel about it the same way I feel about winter x Robyn. It's cool, I've got nothing against it at all. I wouldn't mind if it was canon and if winter and qrow were actually flirting in v3.

Tldr:

#rwby #winter schnee #robyn hill #qrow brawnwen #ask

I'm the anon who mentioned WinterXRobyn, Happy Huntresses spinoff idea and STRQ prequel. "No one's done May or Joanna with Robyn" EXCUSE ME KDIN NO??? WE DO NOT SPEAK OF THE FORBIDDEN POWER COUPLES, THEY WOULD RESULT IN THE END OF THE WORLD. THEIR POWER LEVEL IS TOO HIGH. but yes they would be heccin adorable (also u just wna smash robyn im p sure, its ok everyone else does too)

Oh anon, you ain’t ready for this, but it’s comin’ anyway!

As many of you know, I’m a huge fan of classic literature, myths, and legends.

And my top post on Tumblr is literally criticizing Disney’s Robin Hood by comparing it to it’s origins.

So let’s do this!

Robin Hood’s closest person has, was, and always will be Little John. Throughout every adventure, every retelling, and every medium, the person Robin Hood trusted above all others was John and ONLY John.

Robin was always promiscuous in his nature, playful banter, witty dialogue, all backed up by skill. But when all that failed him, who would always be there for him? John.

Their relationship was always one of intimatacy and comfort when alone. Trust between these two was unspoken and yet unbreakable.

Not to mention you don’t go naming your group the “Merry Men” without just a bit of a smirk, if you ask me.

Let’s move along...

In more recent interpretations, the newer books of the olden years, and of course the actual NEW NEW stuff. Robin and Maid Marian are that intended to be trope, but the mythology of Robin Hood always took that just a bit further.

Marian was beautiful, well off, and of royalty. And yet she was also sharp of tongue and sharper of blade!

Where Robin could best anyone with a bow and arrow, Maid Marian would never know an equal with a sword.

To which, in this most common of cases, Marian would pose as a man and venture into the forest to find Robin and ask for assistance. Robin being a bit of a goof and not the smartest (just very clever) saw this man as an intruder and the two would begin a duel that lasted for HOURS.

It ended with Robin conceding victory to this mystery man and beg him to join the Merry Men... only for that man to reveal himself as Marian, but the offer still stood, and Marian joined Robin. Not as an underling, but standing next to him as an equal and better in many ways.

Their relationship was build on strength of will and courage, where John was Robin’s truest friend, Marian was the one to truly challenge him.

BUT BABY WE AIN’T DONE YET!

Let’s go allllllll the way back to the earliest writings where good ol Maid Marian was NOT royalty.

What was she you may ask? A SHEPHERDESS!

Yes Maid Marian tended to the sheep on a farm just outside the forest’s edge and she would see a very regular visitor concerned for her safety but mostly looking for a true companion as this person saw Marian for who she was and her true potential!

Who WAS this person you may ask?

FRIAR TUCK!

Yes, ladies, gentlemen, and NBYS! The ORIGINAL coupling for Maid Marian was NOT Robin Hood but the short and kind FRIAR TUCK! Who would go on to court her and begin a emotional (and physical) relationship with her.

SO MY GOOD PEOPLE!

According to the vast array of Robin Hood lore you have CANONICAL ROBIN AND JOHN, CANONICAL ROBIN AND MARIAN, AND CANONICAL MARIAN AND TUCK!

And kids that’s just scratching the surface! We didn’t even get to talk about Robin’s close relationship with Friar Tuck and ALL THE OTHER CHARACTERS that Robin had very very very close relationships with, like the good bard Alan-A-Dale!

So what I’m saying is... Robin Hood was wanted by all, so much so that even in old classic literature, throughout the many interpretations, by various authors and storytellers... everyone had different ships and made them as canon as they could.

Isn’t classical literature FUN? It’s essentially the Ye Old English version of fanfiction to be honest.
