“qrow give me my chips back”

wakes up first.   clover. for some reason, he gets up earlier than winter and she never thought anyone would be up before her.

sings in the shower.   clover. if winter does, she’s in a really good mood.

makes breakfast every morning.   winter. clover might get up first, but she makes sure they have breakfast before going to work.

is the first to think about adopting/having a child.   it’s tough because they both were thinking about it but didn’t know how to bring it up to the other. winter caves in the end and says something first.

gets sick the easiest.   winter. it’s rare that she gets sick but it’s easier with her than it is with clover.

loves to cuddle.   both of them. they’re both guilty as charged.

falls asleep on the couch while they’re watching a movie.   winter usually but sometimes it’s clover, if not both of them because of work taking its toll.

is super clingy.   they both are. considering they’d lost partners before, they both cling to each other because they can’t bear the thought of losing anyone else, especially each other.

Domestic Starters - Accepting! - @hisluck

@hisluck.   prompt.   accepting.

thought of it causes silver heart to seize in her chest, painfully so. stealing her breath for a moment as summer imagines a world without clover. without his cocky smile, without small words of encouragement murmured every morning.

she can’t.

arms don’t hesitate in tugging the much larger man into soft, tender embrace ; face nestled against her neck as they wrap around him.　❛ don’t say that. ❜　the feeling is so raw, plea in her voice. the story of people losing their partners, their teams wasn’t a new concept ; not in their line of work. people died, they  .  .  .  they didn’t come home. whether to grimm or misfortune or other, more human threats. they didn’t return.

the thought of it happening to clover had embrace tightening around him.　❛ you’re  —  you’re here. ❜　in her arms. she can feel a shuddering exhale against the soft curve of her neck, almost feel the tears hot & stinging. how long had he been made to bottle this up by the expectations placed upon him? wow, you’re a real lucky one aren’t you! summer’s joyful accolade, she’d almost been puzzled by the pained edge to teal gaze.

sometimes the luck blessed weren’t so lucky.

❛ i’ve got you. ❜　it was an encouragement, for him to let go. he didn’t have to be so strong, not with her. not here. where they were safe.

I can’t believe you’re making clover’s two husbands fight, Yang. For shame.

This is such a good match up, though. Both of them have the experience and the training, though Ironwood would have a few years in my opinion since I have him as nearing his fifties compared to Qrow’s early forties, but regardless they both have around the same amount of time fighting and training, on top of both being formally educated and graduating from Huntsmen Academies.

Besides from that, they’re both two distinctly different fighters with pros and cons to each side.

Ironwood has Qrow outclassed in the strength department. Wielding a scythe as big as Harbinger takes some upper body strength, and Qrow is by no means lacking, but Ironwood is in a whole ‘nother league with not only his physical strength due to his large frame and muscles, but by his metal prosthetics. If Ironwood can get hold of Qrow, he’s going to feel it. 

On the other hand, Qrow is going to be difficult to catch if he fights smart. He has a wider range of arsenal than Ironwood. Due Process may have gravity dust to help Ironwood move around, but they’re lacking in versatility. Meanwhile, Harbinger has three different modes; scythe, shotgun, and big ass sword. Each of them have their own perks and flaws, but Qrow shows efficiency in wielding all of them, he did train Ruby in it after all, and even though the story seems to have forgotten, fighting with a scythe is considered one of the hardest fighting styles by Ozpin, to the point that he only knows one other person to fight with it; Qrow.

Qrow also has superior speed. He’s been shown to keep up with Tyrian, another known speedster, and held on long enough that, despite having his own Aura broken, he broke Tyrian’s as well. The same Tyrian that took one four people at once, even if they were still students at the time. The only downfall with his speed is that, unlike the lighter and slender weapons that speedsters use like Neo with her parasol, Tyrian with his mounted wrist blades, and Weiss with her rapier, Qrow uses Harbinger. The giant sword/scythe that’s bigger than him also weighs a lot more than the other weapons mentioned above, and if crwby remembered this and stopped having everyone flinging their weapons like they’re made of paper, he would be slowed down by that weight. 

Regardless, just like Raven, Qrow has the ability to turn into a bird. This ability is magic and isn’t bound by Aura like Semblances are, so Qrow wouldn’t have to worry about weakening his Aura by spamming it. He can use it to evade heavy attacks and put himself in a better position to strike back, like he did on the train in V6. While Ironwood can use gravity dust to quickly catch up with Qrow, Qrow can just turn into a bird and slip away. I don’t know if you tried shooting a bird with a pistol, but it’s really hard.

Finally, the Semblances themselves. Ironwood hasn’t shown his yet, so I don’t know what it is and can’t add it here. Maybe when it gets revealed, or if it does, I can look back on this and think differently, but right now poor Ironwood is on his own. 

Qrow’s is Bad Luck. I don’t know how it exactly works if his enemy’s bad luck is his good luck, but regardless he’s a walking Bad Luck Charm(TM). That alone can put things in his favour, or in Ironwood’s. Guns can jam, platforms they’re standing on can give way, it all depends on where they’re fighting. Honestly? It depends on luck in the end. Either the bad luck affects Ironwood and Qrow gets the advantage, or the bad luck affects Qrow and Ironwood gets the advantage, I don’t know exactly how Qrow’s Semblance works and I’m not sure even crwby knows.

Quick addition but also environment plays a part. Open ares given Ironwood and Qrow the space to move, but less obstacles that Qrow’s Semblance can be used on and for Qrow to retreat to if he needs the space, especially since Ironwood can move through obstacles easily since he’s the Army Dad(TM). More closed in spaces means that Qrow and Ironwood would have to fight closer, and without the space to swing Harbinger properly, on top of Ironwood able to use his superior strength, Qrow’s in trouble.

So, really, it’s a really hard choice. Out of most situations, I’d have to give it to Qrow just because of his versatility, his unpredictable Semblance, his unorthodox methods like straight up decking someone in the face, and the fact that he has magic that isn’t tied to dust or Aura, something that Ironwood doesn’t have. If the situation was perfect for Ironwood, I’d see him having a chance to win.

send in a character.

how i feel about this character.

some fanon clover > canon clover. we didn’t care much for clover in canon before he died because there was very little to care about beyond him being qrow’s sentient self help boyfriend. however building him up with friends & seeing what he could’ve been & the complexity he could’ve had has made us love him much more.

any / all the people i ship romantically with this character.

marrow, winter, james, taiyang, summer, robyn, sun.

my favorite non - romantic relationship for this character.

harriet & elm for luke ; ace ops for me. i really wish we’d gotten more for them than we had in canon.

my unpopular opinion about this character.

His character is very flat and there’s nothing to him, even with the concept of his character being very interesting in terms of his semblance and his relationship but that’s all hindered because canon wanted to and made him purely Qrow’s self help boyfriend who was meant to die.  —  luke.

clover is very much defined by one character & where it would be called out with a female character, like some people think pyrrha is while ignoring she had two volumes worth of characterization away from jaune, it’s ignored or excused with clover bc uwu mlm ship & maybe gay character which was never confirmed.  —  owl.

one thing i wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

that he had gotten more scenes surrounding his character, for how much of a focus was on him this volume, we know next to nothing about clover. not about his family, his life, any interests, etc. all we know is just how he felt about getting into the ace ops & . . . that’s it. we don’t know even that really, or important things like how he feels about his own semblance, it was just used to drive home how much qrow hates his own semblance which like, we got for 4 whole volumes & a whole ass song about.

favorite friendship for this character.

i’d say the ace ops but apparently they’re not friends lmao. what was implied in his history with james was really interesting, ignoring how he changed his mind five seconds later, & i wish we’d gotten more about that too. clover doesn’t really have connections, in depth connections like other characters outside of this volume do & it’s really telling how the writing & character development took a giant hit.

my crossover ship.
