you're. like. FINE. WHATEVER.

anyways: what to say!!! you were a doorway to me not being afraid to be Properly In Fandom. an introduction to so many people who i love. including you, i guess. not that i would admit it. literally no one is more willing to fight a bitch over bullshit opinions than you are and honestly you're the fuckign knight in shining armor of my entire life. i would still be in hiding if it wasn't for you!!!

I wish I liked her more. She’s rough around the edges and pretty fun, but she also feels like the least defined character in the entire series to me and that’s kinda lowkey annoying.

She’s gotten plenty of screen time but she just feels improperly used in most cases?

This year, myself and five others did a Secret Santa fic/art exchange for RWBY! Since we posted during a pretty busy holiday week (and also posted 6 things at once), I figured I’d compile everything into one post, just so that all this RWBY goodness wasn’t missed by anyone: 

Fics: 

the simple math of family by @perpetuallyfive​ - gen with background ships, Branwen Twins focused, canon compliant 

There are many different ways of living, all over Remnant. The one constant for the Branwen twins has always been family. 

twenty years asleep in a state of grace (come together til we find a way home) by @fiddleabout - Blake/Yang, Tomb Raider AU!

“I’m not babysitting you.” Weiss folds her arms over her chest and juts her chin out. She’s not wearing heels, for the first time that Yang can remember in years, and she’s so small. She stopped growing less than a year after they disappeared and Yang had a growth spurt two years later, but Weiss has been the same height the whole time, as if her body gave up on moving forward after they were gone, and it hurts sometimes to remember how caught in the past they both are sometimes, in their own ways. “I don’t know how many more ways to say it, Yang. You’re not the only one who lost them.”

roads that lead you home by @thecousinsdangereux (me! apparently you can tag yourself) - Weiss POV with background Blake/Yang, canon compliant 

Snapshots of Weiss Schnee (age seventeen to twenty-nine) and her evolving definition of family, as shown through the meals she shares with the people she loves.

Ready, Get Set, Bake! by @maladyofthequotidian - Blake/Yang, Great British Bake Off AU!, Rated E 

Yang's probably not the first person who's ever developed a crush on a fellow baker. Probably.

(made you) smile and look away by @mermaidandthedrunks - Blake/Yang, fake dating!, soulmates!, canon compliant through Vol. 6

“So let me get this straight.” Qrow assesses the room. “You two,” he points to Blake and Yang, “will pretend to be a couple in the hopes of finding out what happened to your other friends who went in there pretending to be a couple. You two,” he points to Ruby and Jaune, “will infiltrate this establishment as the help.” Ruby and Jaune nod comically. “And you,” he looks at Weiss, “will go as an ambassador for a Dust company and aid with back-up.”

He looks around the room, and everyone nods. “Well, okay then."

Art: 

Ghira and Kali from @perpetuallyfive‘s RWBY dishonored AU “much sweeter than it ought to be” plus a bonus awkward family portrait doodle lol 

i really loved designing their outfits 

Beca is the definition of a needy bottom and I really don't know how anyone can fall for any of her posturing nonsense.

There’s actually a name for this, if you want to look up more examples. It’s called diegetic sound.

I feel a great fear.

are you kidding me the music alone!!! winter has one of my favourite leitmotifs and i’m shdfj really excited to hear it in a fight again
