general headcanons and canon divergencies for my little guys! this will up updated over time as i solidify my years-old thoughts and headcanons, and will be linked on my muselist page.

starting off with none of my guys are cishet. most of them are nonbinary, some are trans, and their sexuality ranges! eventually i will note this on my muselist page itself. currently, their pronouns are whatever the show has given them, but i will make an announcement when this changes!

i am still unsure as to where exactly i will take ruby— i am fond of flown north, and it is part of my main canon on this blog (hi aesop and cole), but i am not sure if that's where i want to take my ruby at this moment. as a whole, my ruby is still taiyang and summer's daughter, but i can easily adapt this for my writing partner's canon. in short: i'm going with the flow! <- as a whole this note applies to when i eventually add qrow.

zwei (yes, zwei headcanon) is an emotional support animal for the rose-xiao long-branwen household and their guests. i'm still thinking (and frankly researching) on whether to make him a psychiatric service dog or not.

i do have aus planned for roman and pyrrha where they live— roman's is easy, pyrrha's not so much. i will detail a full post for this later, but roman's tldr is that he survived somehow and has been on the run since. whereabouts unknown, but probably slinking off to mistral's underbelly.

as a whole, there are parts about the white fang that i think need to be critically examined and will be rewritten on my blog, especially in regards to the very flat "peaceful protests=good, violent protests=bad" angle that rooster teeth is going with. to be clear: i am a person of color living in the u.s. (i'm south korean) and do face racism from a variety of angles, and i am also very interested in the history of and actively participate in social activism. i am not talking out of my ass, but criticisms are always welcome! all that to say, i think that adam and the system that enables him within the white fang is the problem within the organization, but on the whole, racism directed against the faunus is the true root of "evil." this is something my characters recognize and acknowledge, especially blake, ilia (at least re:adam), weiss, etc.

^ get back to me about the faunus racism part in regards to marrow, i want to see where volume 8 takes his character. i will say for now that despite marrow being treated as a kid and as a soldier blindly following orders, that does not make him naive or ignorant of atlas' issues. he knows and understands them— there's definitely something bigger than that that makes him loyal to ironwood.
