#using weiss bc similar height

[strawberry-seal77]

guys I went to a zipline place today

(exaggerated for comedy)

[help-i-need-a-cool-username]

So some stuff has come up and i dont think i'll personally be able to finish RWBY March. But ive been building a headcanon list for a while, so i guess now's the perfect time to share it!

General (main cast)

Nora refers to JR/JRO as "the boys" (canon?) but to RWBY as "RWBY" (canon?)

Pyrrha was insecure about her height (6'). The only one who knew was Nora. Nora's not insecure about her height (5'1") she's just mad at it

Weiss is also mad at her height. And Yang used to be insecure about hers in middle school

Everyone has carried Nora at least once. Whether because they wanted to or she forced them or they had to drag her out of something

Salem is colorblind (either by birth or by Grimm Pond dive)

Blake once licked her whole hand and then used that hand to push Ruby's hair back. No one will let her live that down

Sun likes to play with other peoples hair and clothes and gets really happy when they do it back (grooming is a important social aspect for primates). This behavior makes people think he's dating either Blake (who gets it) or Neptune (who's used to it and just lets him do what he wants)

At Beacon Blake wouldnt let anyone touch her hair out of fear they would move her ribbon or they would notice her cat ears. She actually really likes brushing or braiding her own or other people's hair

Pyrrha has a scar on her neck. Thats why she's always covering it. She always admired Weiss for walking around with hers on full display

Blake hung out with Sun and Neptune a lot in V2/V3. Thats why she knew Neptune was afraid of water

Emerald has never kissed anyone

Mercury went to school

Mercury was always a quiet kid. When he was talkative it was because he was having fun or being mean

Emerald dresses the (almost) exact way that Yang does but if anyone drew the same first conclusions about her that she did about Yang she would be very upset

Salem stopped going by "Princess Salem" after her rescue, only bringing it up if it would help a situation her and Ozma were in. She started somewhat going by it again when she was recruiting her army. She didnt go by "princess" again but she did go by "queen" and "goddess" after her false god stint

Faunus in General

Bc they need more animal characteristics outside 1 physical trait and goodish night vision

Faunus senses are a lot stronger than humans (other than sight*, which is equal to or less) *its canon they have night vision, so this is in regards to normal daytime 20/20 sight

Most faunus' can smell other faunus, down to the species-type (is there a word for that?)

Theres an old wives tale that the more human DNA you have, the weaker the strength of your senses are

Faunus who marry other faunus tend to end up with a spouse of the same or similar species-type. (Theres no socialital push its just statistics. Like how ppl tend to marry other ppl from the same backgrounds or class as them)

Depending on the species-type, some faunus have internal characteristics that allow them to: growl/howl (vocalcords/voicebox), have a higher bite force (jaw muscles), etc

There are stereotypes surrounding species-types. Cat-types like fish, primate-types will go through your stuff, rodent-types are short, that faunus who resemble solitary animals avoid social situations, etc

There are ridiculous rumors that faunus have a mating season/go into heat and that they lay eggs instead of giving birth

Perfumes and other scented things created and used by faunus are made differently, since their sense of smell is so strong. Walking into a human mall can be very disorienting because of the strength of human perfumes/candles

Animals were named after the types of faunus, not the faunus after the animal

STRQ

The partners were Summer x Taiyang and Raven x Qrow

Raven is also a alcoholic

Raven and Qrow started drinking at a young age and drank fairly often at Beacon (Tai wasnt complaining then but he complains now)

Both of them became functioning alcoholics well before anything truly bad happened (ex. Summer's death or Raven's exile)

Everyone has tattoos

STRQ has one matching tattoo, they were all suppose to get partner tattoos but instead only Summer and Tai got them while Raven and Qrow got completely different tattoos (they're already twins and will already be tied together for the rest of their lives by Raven's semblance. Plus they'd never agree on one)

Raven has a portal to Ruby

Tai married Qrow first while they were in the Remnant version of Las Vegas for a mission. They were drunk and thought it would be a hilarious thing to lord over Raven. And it was ("i shouldve stayed married to Qrow", "hey, Tai put a ring on my finger before he ever put one on yours!", "you see, my sister married my ex-husband, which means she was the second choice", "well, for your information, i have married every member of my team")

my brutally honest rwby ship opinions

i tried to list every ship i knew of that was at least slightly popular but if u have more u wanna hear my opinion on tell me and i'll add! anyway here’s my takes. they’re not really that spicy.

---------------

bumbleby- the best ship. maybe not just in rwby, but in anything. they’re not even explicitly dating yet but they’re very clearly in love.

renora- the second best ship in rwby. way better than probably any m/f ship out there. they have no right being as good as they are. hope they fix their issues soon.

whiterose- very cute, a classic if not overused trope. would probably like it more if not for the fact its fandom can’t seem to accept that it won’t be canon.

freezerburn- v5 endeared me to them a lot. I love their height difference. hot/cold juxtaposition; very good.

ladybug- hello??? someone call triple zero this ship is too adorable and I love all the fanart I see of it.

monochrome- even more tropey than whiterose. I still like it though. wondered if it was going to be canon someday back in v1.

ena*ler- please get the fuck out

arkos- rushed, but still cute and ultimately tragic. a good old ‘high school romance’

lancaster- don’t ship it but I adore their friendship

blacksun- it’s okay from an objective standpoint but i still really don’t like it. they’re best friends though.

white knight- no thank you. their friendship is worth a lot more.

nuts n dolts- best ruby ship. wholesome as all fuck. thank you crwby for them.

rosegarden- I have expressed my hatred for it many times. do not make me explain again.

iceberg- same as white knight expect they’re not even friends

schneekos- arkos but better. weiss clearly had a crush on her.

greekfire- two hot buff girlfriends?? yes please

pink lemonade- two hot buff girlfriends but double the chaos?? even more yes please.

sugar rush- they’d burn the world down. I love them. probably the only characters within the main cast whose energies match each other’s.

martial arcs- I wrote a single-tweet ship fanfiction with them and now I think they’re really cute

snowpines- would be very cute but only if ozpin fucks off forever

emercury- I understand the appeal but they read as siblings to me and I prefer them that way

gel*to- I have also explained my hatred for this one. please no.

spicecream- could maybe be cute if cinder weren’t cinder. but she is so. no.

sunflowyr- would be cute if I didn’t headcanon yang as a lesbian.

sunflakes- the only reason I don’t headcanon weiss as a lesbian. it’s good.

strawbana- i only like it from a meta point of view. if you know, you know.

catmeleon- good. that’s really all I have to say.

spumoni- a lot of people don’t realize it but neo and emerald are so very similar and I think they’d be great together

snapdragons- basic, but cute. I wish they could be happy together.

phoenix- listen they literally hate each other. or at least strongly dislike. they are divorced. not healthy.

rosebird- now this is where it’s at. yes. I love them.

hummingbird- extremely basic and annoying heterosexual. no, qrow is not ruby’s dad. shut up.

fireball- probably the least-considered strq ship but there is some validity to it.

crosshares- mmmmmm yes please

cinnabun- cute! but it’s not crosshares

seamonkeys- someone please make them realize they’re in love. please.

fairgame- good. couldn’t really get attached to it bc I couldn’t really get attached to clover but they deserved better. honestly thought it’d happen.

ironqrow- was good before but. y’know.

qrow*n- don’t come anywhere near me.

tau*adonna- i will fucking block you if you so much as mention this ship in a good light

magpie- I don’t even like roman but fuck if this ship didn’t make me hate him a bit less

pomegrenade- underrated but just imagine them for a second. they’d be so cute???

snowbyrds- pretty good so long as I stick to my headcanon that robyn is in her late 20s and not her mid 30s.

springthyme- see above but I like it a fair bit more because did you see v7c6

goldleaf- I made a whole ship week for them of course I love them

marrowgold- ehhhhhhhh may’s a huge fuckin lesbian but I guess it’s alright.

guard dog- still hesitant to ship it bc marrow’s age is so vague but assuming they’re close in age it’s valid

slush puppies- see above

wishbone- ew no. we know roughly how old they are now. please keep it away from me.

prismatic ponytails- a very cute concept. wish I could stop getting it mixed up with weiss/emerald and ilia/emerald even though those are both way less popular

narration- they try to kill each other a lot I don’t know why anyone would ship it

pyrruby- got very attached to it after coming up with that dumb au I came up with once

baked alaska- would have some mount of validity if neo hadn’t almost killed her on purpose. maybe if neo switches sides. maybe.

emberald- oh my god fuck off. why does this fandom like canonically abusive ships so much.

purrha- very cute but I’m not using the other name fuck you
