okay its time to share one of my DUMBEST headcanons woohoo
Team RWBY using their semblances for anything BUT fighting. (this was partially inspired by that comic about yang's hair lighting up when she kisses blake but ive also been wanting to yap about this for a while so)
Imagine Ruby using her semblance to type really fast, or to button mash at the speed of light, or maybe just to get somewhere quickly. She's the least late to class out of Team RWBY but Beacon is DROWNING in rose petals. maybe her stellar attendance is perfectly balanced with her horrific grades
Weiss using her glyphs to hold random shit, or to fire an ice projectile at the light switch to turn it off, or to do literally ANYTHING tbh her glyphs are sooo op and sooo cool. gasp what if she summons little nevermores and beowolves just for fun or to scare some of the assholes at Beacon HELL yeah
Yang using her semblance to warm them up when its cold. or to help them cook marshmallows when they're camping. who needs a campfire when you have a yang. also super strength? Ruby has made the mistake of jokingly punching her sister in the shoulder TOO many times
now, the headcanon that started this whole rant. imagine if Blake instinctively used her semblance when she was startled. Yang walks into the room and calls out to her while she's reading the filthiest freakiest most VILE smut on the planet of Remnant, and Blake jumps so hard she accidentally shadows herself out of the bed and falls on the floor. Yang never lets her live it down EVER.
or what if someone taps her too hard on the shoulder and scares the mcfuck out of her? instant shadow away and bonus points if Blake trips and falls flat on her face. also she's impossible to prank because of this habit. she hears it coming from a mile away and always shadows out of there before she can do anything. she's more than willing to get revenge tho (flashbacks to my Evil Big Sister Blake post)
this goes for other characters too btw!!! Jaune using his semblance to heal minor wounds or to make someone stronger or faster. Nora uses him to cheat in her and Yang's arm wrestling lmfao
or maybe Ren calming his team down for a really hard test. using his semblance to make them all better at lying to the teachers about their regular escapades.
Nora charging their scrolls. they just leave their scrolls on her body while she's sleeping and BOOM instant 100%. or Nora being able to make team CRDL's scrolls always dead or on the verge of dying
Pyrrha moving metal shit just for fun. there's so many mundane uses you could give to someone with ferrokinesis so I'll let yall have fun with this one
this post is super long but I just need to see semblances in RWBY being used in more mundane and non-fighting related ways!! I think it could range from normal to fun to OUTRAGEOUS :D
