greetings, my name is winry. I am 22, i use he/xe/they pronouns, i’m bisexual, and this is my emercury side blog to solely post my fics & blab abt emrc.
DO NOT INTERACT IF: you are a proshipper, any kind of bigot, don’t think fiction affects reality, hate rwby or its titular characters.
if you choose to follow me peace & love to you
havent colored in forever, idk what im doing
What are your favorite aspects of Emerald & Mercury’s relationship?
this is a very broad question…. my gosh where do I begin?
I’ll start with how they didn’t choose each other each other by their own accord. emerald initially vetoed against mercury joining their party. it took them a while to actually accept the other’s very existence. em asks merc why he joins them. he says it was fate. cinder and her show up looking for his father the night he killed him? what else could that be except destiny. as we know, destiny & fate are heavy theme in rwby. the characters have to spend time challenging their ideas of that. we see that with pyrrha, ruby, weiss etc… but the thing is whether they were fated to meet… mercury and emerald subconsciously choose one other—despite their own protests. they’re the only people their age (literal seventeen year olds at the beginning of the show) they are each other’s first friends—and perhaps first loves(?) (wishful thinking on my part)
i also enjoy the symbolism around them. they foil and compliment each other nicely.
emerald is the gemstone of the planet mercury! in her concept art for v2, she’s seen wearing gold (linking her to cinder) jewelry. it’s later changed to silver (linking her to mercury).
emerald also has light/day symbolism! and mercury also has night/dark symbolism. every blocking of each scene they are in together has emerald in the light, representing how she’s always been morally good; and mercury teetering into the dark, representing how he keeps getting swept toward morally bad people. figures since he’s named mercury. he’s gonna be the one who is more morally grey than his peer. (haha, get it?) but as we see, emerald will get him to face the light.
their struggles also foil each other too. she projects a pseudo sister-mother relationship onto cinder, since she lacks that familial connection. she yearns for love above all else. it’s why she joined and stayed with cinder for so long. his father raised him to be killing-machine. to be the best of the best in his craft. of course he was never enough. (insert silver medal joke here) mercury craves respect above all else. it’s why he joined cinder. it’s why he accepted salem’s hasty promotion. he wants to be taken seriously very, very badly.
though unknowingly to both of them—they have what they want already!
mercury loves emerald unconditionally as she so desperately desires, you can see he cares for her. He might not show it in the best ways possible all the time, but he does. what is love if not wanting to crack a joke in front of the cute girl you barely know who’s now your partner in crime any chance you get? what is love if not trying to convince your best friend (though you’d never admit it aloud because your dad called it a weakness) to let go of the woman who is not a mother or sister to her whatsoever? what is love if not protecting the only person you give a damn about from some weird freak of a grown man who keeps threatening her?
emerald respects—dare i say admires—mercury as he badly craves. what is respect if not immediately going to apologize for upsetting him when he brought up his terrible childhood and abusive father because you assumed he didn’t know what it’s like to have such love for a parental figure (one who constantly failed you, not that you can admit it)? what is respect if not immediately trusting him with new information you overhead from a prisoner? over your mentor who just returned from the dead mind you. like, of all people, why is he, the boy you didn’t want, your first choice? if you don’t respect him why do you use his fighting style to escape a sticky situation and his favorite snarky insults? if that’s not respect, then do tell me what is?
and notice how i never said mercury wants love—like yes, he does. but not over respect. he wasn’t raised to need love. to be honest, he never makes a huge point about wanting because he already knows what it is. he learned it from emerald; her respect is her love. which is why he is trying to reciprocate that in the only ways he knows how. emerald doesn’t think her respect is love. her respect for cinder is more unwavering, unhealthy devotion. that’s not love. it’s one-sided. her begrudging obligation to give a damn about mercury has sprung into something much more.
both of them are too stubborn to realize it, but they’re getting and giving what they ask for. once they eventually—oh i can’t wait to see the epiphanies and developments that come from that!
anyways this was very long, sorry. you can see that i’m clearly passionate between these two!
back very briefly? not sure if i’ll post a fic ( i am writing i promise) just wanted to pop on here and check my notifications and shit. i am in a mood to answer asks if y’all wanna leave some idfk.

How do you come up with the ideas for your stories?
Honestly…Ao3 prompt generators and tumblr prompt posts. I’ll mix & match the prompts and I go from there. Or if I’ll base them off another media as an AU. Sometimes they’ll just come to me! For example, I was researching holidays in other countries and it gave me an interesting idea. Or I’ll create a story based around a headcanon. So yeah, that’s how I come up with a lot of my works.
feeling chatty, so send me an ask if you see this (only if you want to)
It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
one year already?

happy new year, we are soooo back.
here’s a short post-canon (because they deserve more post-canon content) emercury one-shot where they are temporarily long-distance. enjoy
do you ever think about how cinder is the personification of the red string of fate and is the only reason why emerald & mercury know each other. mind you she wears red when they recruit mercury on that night, and mercury even said he felt like it was meant to be. mind youuuuuu cinder’s whole shtick is about destiny too

It feels like they keep arguing in circles. They’re too stubborn and proud to admit their wrongs to stop now.
