Yeah, no. I gotta agree with anon on the first one. Ship what you want, but there's no evidence to suggest that Clover was ever supposed to be a love interest. Just because there were artists on the show shipping them allegedly, because no proof of that has been provided, that's not a direct contribution to the show and the artists aren't the ones calling the shots on the narratives, therefore even if it is true, it's not Canon. Additionally the point of Clover was to give Qrow a sense of security around someone, a reason to believe they were safe, just to break him down and show that he can't let his guard down for any reason. Clover's opposing semblance was supposed to provide Qrow with a false sense of security. Not gonna lie, I find the notion that the opposing semblances are proof that they were supposed to be love interests not to be a great one, because that is the most uninspired, boring, predictable thing the writers could have done. If they were going to ship them at all, maybe staying away from overused OC tropes would be the best bet. It's the shipping equivalent of a Mary Sue that fans have been doing for years, long before Clover existed, and if you really want to go into the "tension." between them, there was more romantic tension between Qrow and Ironwood in that hug than there ever was in vol 7 -8 between Qrow and Clover. As for RWBY lacking in rep. Guys, Bumblebee was literally made Canon in season 9. RWBY's first canonic trans character was brought in volume 7. Juan's sister is married and has a kid with a woman, and the background introduction of Mystral in vol. 5 features a gay male couple. Sure, they could use a male couple in the show, but they are by no means lacking in representation there. RWBY is an action-packed fairytale story about 4 girls with badass weapons using their bond as a team to save the world first and foremost. If they can sneak in some romance and lgbtq representation, then that's great, but that's not what RWBY is about. If you're after the more romantic side of things, go pick up a romance novel. That's not what RWBY is.

"Qrow gets a male love interest who doesn't die this time"

He didn't have a male love interest in the first place, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

"Jaune takes a backseat to the titular team"

He's done that the past three volumes.

"He didn't have a male love interest in the first place, so I'm not sure what you're talking about."

I'm talking about Clover. I remember there being behind the scenes info about people working on the art side of the show shipping them, and I'm pretty sure the visuals implied that the spark was there at times (I'd have to go back and look again to be certain). Plus, they had complimentary Semblances, and Qrow was visibly getting better on an emotional level after he started spending more time with Clover. Even without canon evidence, I think it would've made sense for them to get together.

On top of that, this show is currently pretty lacking in canon LGBT representation, especially when it comes to male characters (they've got, what, one?). This could've alleviated that issue somewhat. But it didn't, because Clover dies, in what felt like a pretty contrived scenario to boot. I don't want to accuse the writers of burying their gays until I have concrete proof that they did just that, but to kneecap a potential gay ship like that (even if nobody, writing or otherwise, implied that it could happen) doesn't sit right with me.

"He's done that the past three volumes."

He does take a backseat in Volume 7, but not in Volumes 8 and 9. In Volume 8, he's on the team that ends up directly confronting Salem (while this is alongside Yang, Ruby hasn't actually been face to face with the main villain yet and Jaune has), and he's also one of the last people standing on the bridges in the void during the final battle (so is Weiss, but again Ruby is absent by now and Jaune also gets a dramatic run to get to the portal before the paths all disappear).

This leads to him being in Volume 9. I will concede that he's absent for half the volume, but when he does show up, he still takes up a lot of screentime and plotlines until the finale. Heck, Ruby's team prioritizes him over her until the finale (as shown by the group hug in episode 9, or the end of episode 7). To me that time could've been better spent on developing the main four further, since lately they've kind of had to fight for space to do that amongst all the side characters the show also focuses on.

So yeah, that's why this is stuff I hope that they'll improve on. Sorry if this is cluttered. Thanks for sending this ask, though! I'm glad I could clarify my thoughts on those two boxes.

WIP: A smol part of a bigger piece.

Low key be thinking of making Tex a Chihuahua faunus for funny hahas due to her gremlin energy. Qrow doesn't know how to deal with a pretty goth lady holding his hand like that. They both tragically explode in an accident caused by their short stack behavior.

[texasthegreatdestroyer]

Hmmmmm- I wonder why the detective that gets uncomfortable with his ability to see ghosts would be spooked by Auron.

HMMMMMMMMMMMM-

Shi(t)p post.

OC x Canon: Qrow x Tex (My fluffy ass baby doll OC)

Pssssh, color go brrrrrrr.

I love these two. They both hate life, just one has a more upbeat way of dealing with said hatred of life. Both be emo af, in Tex's case, she didn't fully leave the my space emo boy look back in the 90's.

Sksksksksksksk.

I'm making a semi horror fan fiction about chibis. Qrow's story, in particular, is really tragic. Some world lore is that chibis are a species looked upon as wild life and, in some cases, live stock or pets. They're cute and cuddly, and whenever they are eaten, they taste like sweets of various sorts. Qrow was once a well loved chibi as he was the lead commander of a group of soldiers who protected their village called the Guardian Corps. He unfortunately had to step down amidst a psychological breakdown he had after his nieces were found dead and partially eaten. He'd heard stories about humans, but no one in town had ever seen them and thought humans were just myths. Ironic considering they all made their town within an old, abandoned house made for giants. Based on what knowledge he did hold, he could only assume that Yang and Ruby's unfortunately deaths were caused by glutinous humans. When he tried to tell everyone, they all looked at him like he was insane and slowly, but surely he did become insane. The loss of his dear nieces and his eagerness to learn of the humans and warn his fellow townies only to be met with cold shoulders and laughter mentally broke him. Now, he can often be found at the foot of his watch tower, holding up signs with apocalyptic messages scribbled all over them. His last ditch effort to save everybody...

Background isn't mine. I made this a few years back when I was going through a realism background callage phase.

I don't see how this is any different from perma paywalling cc and mods when you're making it for a free 3D modeling program that you did not create and are charging for it. It's actually worse in this instance because you're doing it to an indie project that was crowd funded in order to get off the ground in the first place and is strictly funded by donations. Not gonna lie, that's pretty disappointing coming from you of all people who was one of the anti paywall voices.

Rotate UV Islands AUTOMATICALLY!!!

Hi everyone! It's Ren here! I created a Blender Plugin that will automatically rotate most of your UV Islands to match the face direction of your mesh for you. I've been doing it by hand and as I'm sure some of you know, when you have a detailed mesh it can take hours to manually rotate each island. This will cut your time in half. It doesn't rotate ALL islands, but most.

I am super excited for this! I hope you enjoy! You can find it on my ko-fi for purchase!

Dawned in wannabe gold jewelry and a low cut, long, flowy, glittery gown with slits at the legs, The silver and black haired wolf faunus approached from the opposite side of the restaurant with her rose in hand, apprehensively at best. She wasn't even sure if she got the right color of rose. She couldn't even tell the difference between a scarletta and a black magic. Scarletta? Scarlatta? Yup. She definitely did not know a single thing about roses. Ironic considering she had them tatted on her skin. She was pretty nervous herself. It had been quite awhile since she'd dipped her toe into the dating pool. Too many run ins with the wrong guy, and when she found a man worth a damn for the first time, he left her hanging at a bar to run back to his ex wife. Not that she could blame him too much, she was absolutely stunning, but when someone tells you they want you apart of their forever, till death due us part means exactly that. If he was willing to break that off for the likes of her, surely she would have thought he'd stick around. Guess not. Safe to say, she was less than optimistic about this date, but she couldn't help but get this feeling. The feeling she just had to go and meet this guy. That maybe things could be different this time around. The restaurant had an absolutely stunning atmosphere. The warm glow of the windows shining on her skin made her feel in the moment, and the smells from the inside left a beast clawing at her stomach. On the downside, the restaurant looked like it was going to be rather expensive. Good thing she just got paid for a job recently, so she had enough money to throw around for something like this. She wasn't walking into this assuming the other party was paying for her food. She began looking around for her date, particularly a guy holding a red rose. Pretty quickly she did find a person. A fairly handsome man with slicked back brown hair and blue eyes in a tux. That must be him! And so she approached with a confident smile. A contradiction to her shaky nerves. The two approach each other, and just as she says hi, he completely side steps her, handing his rose to his girlfriend of which caused him to look at Tex with a sorry smile and his girlfriend to in turn give her a dirty look. Her face turned bright pink and she walked around the couple. There stood another man with a red rose, he who was pacing around and grabbing at the collar of his shirt, hopefully far too distracted to have witnessed that absolute blunder on her behalf. She admittedly found it quite amusing watching him pace around as he waited. It made her wonder if he was one of those "walking thinker" types, the ones that pace around as they chew on their thoughts. And so she approached him. "Man, you're just as much of a mess as I am tonight. You gotta be my date." Her quip was playful and sweet in nature, complimented by her alto pitched voice with a country folk's twang to compliment, She held the rose up to her face, presenting her invitation in plain view. "I forgot if I told you this when we arranged to meet, but the name's Tex. Nice to meet ya!"

Blind date night: Open Starter

Qrow absentmindedly pulls on his collar and paces in front of the restaurant. It was apparently a very nice steakhouse with a vast selection of cuts available. The scents wafting through the air are mouth watering, but he can’t go in yet. The most eligible bachelor in Remnant was waiting for his date. His blind date, but still. The two had never met, but would know each other by the matching roses they were holding.

[texasthegreatdestroyer]

Why did Rooster Teeth have to take this away from us? Why was there no more Qrow "Slickin back the hair means I'm about to fuck you up." Branwen?

[texasthegreatdestroyer]

This pisses me off on so many levels, setting aside the fact that this could potentially hurt someone because the stories in the reblogs make this more than apparent that it's a shitty thing to do. Why are you going to go out of your way to be shitty and sabotage someone's health and need for improvement just because you're pissed off they're trying to keep their weight down? Speaking as someone who is overweight, Im constantly feeling fucking miserable because of my fulltime job and my weight makes everything hurt. Why the fuck would you want to be vindictive towards people who don't want to live that way? I cannot imagine ever being this miserable to try and bring people down with me over the smallest things like that. Some of these people making these images really need to take a good, hard look at themselves.

DO NOT DO THIS.

This makes me so angry.

If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you.

My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic.

When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die.

If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded.

Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing.

Please signal boost this so people know.

Auron: "What you're telling me is that you abandoned your kids, boyfriend, your brother, and your friend to become a crime lord and you've not been in their lives since?"

Raven: "Correct."

Auron: "... No wonder Qrow doesn't like you."

Raven: "Really? That's why? I thought it was due to the crushing weight of knowing I will always be better than him in every way."

Auron: "... ... ... Let's drop this..."

Raven: "What? I'm just being completely honest."

Texas: "Yooo- the bisexual lighting is real in this photo."

Auron: "The what?"

Free: "Why do we all look so good?"

Eden: "Daaaw~ And you said you couldn't take cute pictures, Auron!"

Auron: "What is bisexual lighting?-"

Qrow: "I won't lie. I would so fuck everyone in this photo. Myself included."

Free: "Pretty sure that last part is just masterbation."

Auron: "Is everyone just going to avoid my question?"

Qrow: "Not if there's an audience, Free. Not if there's an audience."

Eden: "Yeah. That's just foreplay or a performance."

Auron: "That would be a yes..."

[texasthegreatdestroyer]

Pearcy: "Auron! Come in! Take a seat!"

Auron: Auron does as he asks, taking a seat in one of the chairs across from Pearcy at his desk. "Yes, Sir? I assume you have another mission for me?"

Pearcy: "No, not this time. I just want toooo... ask you some questions."

Auron: "Unfortunate. Alright. Ask them."

Pearcy: "So this is going to sound really weird and I promise my intentions aren't to make you feel weird or uncomfortable. As you know, I value the comfort level of all of my workers, like how I won't make Free stand guard in the back stage, or how I won't make Eden work with hard core kinksters-"

Auron: "Out with it, Pearcy. I don't have all day for your nervous diatribes."

Pearcy: "Okay then! Straight to the point it is! I know you're abstaining, but have you ever considered sex work? Like at all?"

Auron: "... ... ... Why no, Pearcy. Im abstainant. Why are you asking?"

Pearcy: "Well you see, and this is just a suggestion in the form of a request. Every month, I have to meet with my bosses. You know, the guys who pay me and keep my lavish business alive. It's usually around this time of a month that we see a dip in profits because, well... Im the only male worker."

Auron: "Oh no-"

Pearcy: "A lot of my ladies low key got daddy issues, and you give off some major single dad vibes, so I think you would be perfect for my replacement for the three days I'm away."

Auron: "Sounds like they need therapy for that, not sex. I regret to inform, but my dick is not a certified licenced therapist."

Pearcy: "Well... Im gonna take that as a no, and I whole heartedly respect that. Thanks for at least humoring me. It's much appreciated."

Auron: "Happy to oblige. If you need me, I'll be drinking the memory of this conversation out of my head."

Pearcy: "Okay, Qrow Jr. No need to be overdramatic now." Pearcy’s eyes widen as he's hit with an idea. He has a smile on his face while Auron side eyes him weirdly. "Oh Qrow~ Can you come to my office real quick?

[texasthegreatdestroyer]

Waiter: "Im really sorry to have to ask. The ID laws however have tightened up quite a bit. I won't trouble you further and give him a pass on his age check."

Qrow: "Thanks man. I don't think he would have given it to you anyways. He's kinda ornery..."

Auron: He's death glaring back and forth at the two men talking about him as if he's not there.

Waiter: "Oh I get it. My father is the exact same way, so Im used to it. Cheers to stubborn dads, am I right?"

Qrow: Snickers. "Yeah! Let's go with that-"

Auron: "Excuse me!? Did you just call me his dad?" Auron whips out his own ID, and then grabs Qrow’s wrist with his ID still in that hand showing that Auron is 5 years younger than Qrow. "LOOK AT IT. LOOK LONG AND HARD. DO YOU SEE THOSE DATES? DOES IT LOOK LIKE IM THIS MAN'S FATHER?-"

Waiter: "O-oh! Im so sorry-"

Auron: "THERE IS NO WAY I AM HIS FATHER. I DIDN'T GET TO ENJOY THE FUN TIME OF PLOWING HIS MOTHER TO MAKE THAT THING HAPPEN, I WASN'T EVEN BORN YET- I CERTAINLY WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR CREATING THIS SAD EXCUSE FOR A FUNCTIONAL ADULT-" Continues to rant and rave.

Qrow: Meanwhile Qrow is laughing his ass off. "Wow dad, you're on one tonight."

[texasthegreatdestroyer]

Qrow: Breaks down Auron's apartment door and while blowing on a party blower. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLD GEEZER! You're one year closer to death! How do you feel?"

Auron: "Better, knowing you'll die five years before I do."

I try to go for as close to canon as possible with the ages, but considering RWBY doesn't give an official age for Qrow, it's my closest guess and personal head canon that Qrow is 40 years of age. Final Fantasy 10 however does provide a canon age for Auron, putting him at 35 years old for the first game which is what I go by for my AU. It's also hella funny, because arguably Qrow aged much better than Auron did, and as a result, people will often mistake Auron for being Qrow's father despite the fact that Qrow is literally 5 years Auron's senior. R.I.P Auron.

[texasthegreatdestroyer]

Auron: Has a broken leg. "Qrow... I hate to say it, but this is the end of the line. We can't both make it out of here alive." He hands a pistol over to Qrow. "I need you to do what they do in those movies you really like to try and discuss with me, but I don't really care about. I need you to put me out of my misery."

Qrow: "What?" O_O

Auron: "I need you to use that gun and put me down. They can't interrogate a dead man."

Qrow: He just stared at Auron and then drops the gun.

Auron: "Qrow, really, Im flattered you don't have the heart to do it, but it has to be done-"

Qrow: "What the hell do you think this is, the vet? Do I look like a veterinarian to you? Put yourself down, man!" Walks off.

Auron: "Oh..."
