there’s somewhat of a prevailing fan theory that taiyang was the one who fell hard for raven and over time she kept squaring off against his advances, but eventually reciprocated to the point of having a shotgun wedding, and the rest is history and just? fantastic, but not exactly my cup of tea
give me parallel developments, give me messy romance, give me the story of bandit girl who realized that when all the dust settled, her eyes lingered on one particular person far longer than she would anyone else, give me the tale of an equally dense mistral boy who misunderstands raven’s conversations with him as pure friendship with no underlying wishes, give me the suspense and shock that comes when qrow carelessly reveals that his twin likes taiyang, and he watches tai’s nonchalance crumble when he realizes he might like raven back
give me the record of growing pains and hilarious misunderstandings that arise when Tai assumes society’s expectations of Raven, and for her, none of that from him, and all the associated drama and life lessons that they learn together, both as a couple and as a squad.
give me raven forcing taiyang to wear a miniskirt once she realizes how hilarious and absurd the entire motion is
this is all i want for christmas, please and thank you
