RWBY Ship Headcannons #74: Arculus Rift

God, Jaune is the sweetest guy. He'll leave little post-its for Penny to just say he hopes she has a nice day. He always makes her breakfast even if he wakes up after her. He's a very affectionate partner.

Penny has little memory lapses every so often, so she and Jaune both write memos on each other's skin. The most common one - and one they eventually get tattooed - is 'You're perfect as you are'.

She has his coffee order memorized to a tee.

Despite all the romantic shit he does, Jaune cannot handle being pampered without blushing like a maniac. Penny buys him a gift and suddenly he's all red and stuttering. His teammates think its adorable, and Penny thinks he's precious.

If they see something that reminds them of each other, they HAVE to get it immediately.

He cuts her hair. Pretty regularly, and he's very gentle about it.

Meanwhile she braids his! They're messy but she's getting better and more coordinated thanks to the practice.

RWBY Ship Headcannons #68: Silent Knight

Jaune brings home takeout from his late-running Huntsman missions. His favourite kind is Thai and Neo's is Indian, they both handle their spices very well despite Jaune being...y'know, Jaune.

If she knows he'll get home later than her, Neo will hide in any place she can fit. Being tiny, this is a lot of places! Most of the time she does this to try and make Jaune find her, but sometimes she'll just tuck away and then pop out to scare him. This works every single time to her continued amazement.

They communicate in texts exclusively in emoticons.

Despite sleeping very lightly, Neo takes up the majority of the bed space. Like a neapolitan starfish.

Jaune gets a LOT of migraines, mostly from stress. Neo somehow knows exactly where to press on his wrists and temples to relieve the pain, or she can get strong pain relief meds. Truly his saving grace.

RWBY Ship Headcannons #70: Nordic Winter

Weiss likes physical contact as a love language but does not know how to ask for it. Thankfully Nora is the most no-personal-space person around, so she never HAS to ask!

At Nora's insistence, they have a pet raccoon.

Okay, well, pet is a loose term, he lives in the alley outside their apartment. They make up little stories to go along with what he does. Weiss calls him Dominic, Nora calls him Dec, they agree he has D-name energy no matter what.

Nora can bench five of Weiss and it is very flustering.

They both weave little threads and ribbons into each other's hair. Nora will show up to JNPR missions with blue bands, and Weiss ties off her braids with pink pieces of gold.

They share food, mostly casually and in passing. Despite the disparagement between their tastes, they agree on fruit-heavy breakfasts with pancakes, waffles, or crepes. Pomegranate pancakes are a common share.

RWBY Ship Headcannons #75: Gauntlets and Greaves

They're very much a hot and cold couple. Pun fully intended. Either they're able to relax and go on normal-person dates, or they have to spar in the backyard to blow off steam.

Merc is a very talented mechanic and Yang knows quite a bit of engineered thanks to learning her arm's upkeep. She's gotten into enough really bad scrapes where Merc's had to patch the wires with stray copper and she's incredibly grateful for it. Similarly, Yang has had to use sheet metal on Merc's legs, which he doesn't complain about. He thinks it looks sick as hell.

He does all her haircuts, which are rare but not unheard of.

Something only Yang knows about Mercury is his love of stupid sitcoms. He has a full boxset of the corniest stuff on Remnant and it's her core blackmail. As if she'd have to use it.

He's always cold. She's always hot. In the summer, she clings to him like a koala to keep cool. And in the winter, he lays completely across her torso for warmth.

RWBY Ship Headcannons #67: Pollination (No En*bler) Kids Edition!

First, a quick run-down of all the kids and their names, in age order!

Honey (Blake x Yang)

Maraschino and Tango (Blake x Ruby)

Rosenwyn (Weiss x Ruby)

Eirwen (Weiss x Yang)

Aspen, Storm and Frost (Blake x Weiss)

And now onto the headcannons!

In general, all the kids love their Uncle Qrow. Qrow is a very present role model in their lives, especially the younger kids after Blake steps out of the Huntsman game and decides to stay home with Eirwen and the Monochrome triplets.

Honey knows the least of Qrow. He doesn't have a lot of bond with him to say the very least. Honey always wanted to go with his mamas on missions and would SCREAM the place down if he was left without even one of them for five minutes. But as he gets older, Honey just isn't interested in the majority of his family. He has friends at school and annoying little siblings, that's enough for an introvert like him.

Maraschino and Tango are always joined at the hip! They got the heft of babysitting with Qrow, since he was quick enough to catch them while they had kitty-cat zoomies. Tango is the gentler one and would grab Qrow around the ankle to drag him back. And Maraschino likes to grab sticks and whack them against anything she can find. Failing this, Mara just...gnaws at her great-uncle's hands. As the girls get bigger, Tango stays clingy and Maraschino stays feral, so whenever Qrow sees them, he ends up with a new 'BEST FUNCLE' bracelet in those clunky little beads, courtesy of Tango making them and Mara wrecking them.

Rosenwyn is and always has been a stuffy little sweetheart. She prefers being on her own well into her preteens. She has a little flip-phone because she keeps wandering off without her moms and getting lost in the process. Qrow's had to find her more than a few times, but she always insists she's fine walking on her own so he just tails her in bird form to keep an eye out. She considers him the most fashionable of her relatives (spare Mama Weiss) so if she goes into stores to look at pretty clothes, she'll ask Bird Qrow for his opinions through the store windows.

Eirwen is the kid who openly prefers Tai over Qrow, but will still go to Qrow when he's very upset. He will latch onto anyone he can find for a hug and Qrow already gives very good hugs, so it’s a natural decision to his tiny kid brain.

The Monochrome twins ADORE their great-uncle Qrow. They’re still babies so they love most everyone but Qrow is their favourite babysitter and person to see, whether they go to him or he visits them. Aspen is his favourite. Though he’ll never tell Storm and Frost that.

You have no idea how much I LOVE Jewel Lizard, I swear to gods.

RWBY Ship Headcannons #76: Jewel Lizard

Ilia has a very specific assortment of colour to her scales whenever she sees Emerald. First they turn bright pink, then a mix of ice blue and purple, then they settle on the same shade of green as Em's hair.

Em likes to always be holding Ilia is some shape or form. Her favourite kind of cuddling is around the waist, and she casually links their pinkie fingers whenever they're remotely close.

Em calls her 'Beau' and Ilia calls her 'Gem'.

If Emerald's reading, Ilia treats her like an audiobook. It's nice to lay in her lap and just listen. If she wants her to pause, she'll boop her nose in a move very much learned from Nora, which Em finds endlessly sweet. More than anything, Ilia finds Em's voice relaxing. She's fallen asleep like that before.

They give so many cheek kisses.

RWBY Ship Headcannons #78: STRQ White (Semblances Edition)

Summer is fucking FERAL. Yeah, sure, she's the rock of the team and their leader so she has a great head on her shoulders, but the twins have no idea what to expect whenever she sees a Grimm. It's a toss up on whether she has a plan or is just gonna go at it with her teeth.

As for her weapon, well, we know this now. She has to practice a whole lot to make sure all the mechanisms work like they're supposed to. More than a couple of times, Qrow has seen her smack herself in the face with the handle. And Tai's had to apply her band-aids from slicing her face up a little.

Her Semblance is a little odd. She can very specifically make SU-style bubble shields. She mostly uses them to hamster-ball around in fights. But one of her techniques is popping out of a Grimm that's eaten her like an explosive!

It's messy when the others learn about it for the first time. VERY messy.

Qrow thinks it's sick. He's a little on edge about sleeping around others, so Summer's more than happy to use her bubbles to guard him while he naps during the day.

Raven and Tai are both of the opinion she should only use it in battle and she thinks that's no fun at all!

Tai's semblance is similar to Yang's, a major power-up thanks to a certain emotional state. His only activates when he's in state of tranquility.

Summer, upon learning this, makes it her life's mission to make sure the twins don't piss him off during a fight. The twins, naturally, don't listen at all. Which is fine, because Tai is a calm and sweet guy overall.

RWBY Ship Headcannons #77: Silver Bull (Jealous Edition)

Adam is extremely prone to jealousy. And the crowd goes mild!

Like, obviously he's the jealous type. He's gotten better since getting rehabilitated and sorting through his trauma, but he still gets bristled whenever someone flirts with Mercury.

He'll not-so-subtly link his arm with Merc's, or lazily hug his waist. The most his restraint allows him to do is kiss at Merc's neck while he's talking.

Mercury doesn't mind. He knows how Adam gets, it's fine for him to get a little clingy when he feels insecure. They always talk about it afterwards and he's getting better about that stuff.

Meanwhile Merc does not get jealous all too often.

Sure, he might send dirty looks at someone if they speak a little too closely to Adam, but it's not a major thing. He's chill.
