So basically Winter and Marrow goes to the same school, both on scholarships. Since they're both on scholarship they talk a lot. Marrow gets accused to cheat a lot of time since he's a faunus.
One time, a student said they saw Marrow going in the teacher's room at night to steal the answer and Winter was like "No, Marrow was in my room the whole night."(had a project together for the military program)
People misunderstand her words but Marrow doubles down and is like "Yeah, so don't accuse a Schnee's partner without proof."(still talking about the project) so Marrow gets way less bullied and accused now. The two realise that people misunderstood but don't correct cause Marrow is free from many problems and Winter doesn't have to deal with potential suitors.
After one year, those two forget it was fake dating, move in the same dorm and date for real. They only remember it was fake at first when Weiss asked who confess first.
Basically, proposing to someone in wonderland is different than in Auradon
Red : Thanks for letting Chloe stay for the weekend, mom.
Bridget : Well, I wasn't going to refuse a slumber party with you two and Pink.
Pink : It's gonna be fu...
The three women look at the Charming, flabbergasted. Chloe was holding three flowers, one blue one red one purple. She had chosen them because they meant respectively 'thank you', 'you're amazing' and 'I respect you'. The three wonderlandians, however, saw the colours, red for the redheaded princess, blue for Chloe and purple, a mix of them.
Bridget : You have my blessings! Oh Clocks, I have to prepare everything! Pink, be a dear and help your mother. You'll be the best Hare, I'm sure Red is choosing you!
Pink : Sis, you didn't have to hide it from me! Don't worry, it'll be perfect.
Red is silent, looking at the confused girl in front of her.
Red : Y...Yes. I... do, Chloe, I do.
Bridget and Pink squeal in delight and leave a blushing Red and a confused Chloe. It's only when the auradolian goes to the library and reads about marriage proposals that she realises how much she fucked up, not that she's going to stop the wedding or anything. She just had to tell her parents and brother she accidentally proposed to a girl she's not even dating yet, and that Chad will be the best Caterpillar.
> I think once Ragno stops being so butthurt after the All Stars game, he'd come around to really respecting Ssyelle.
> Like, she really just got thrown into a high-stakes game right off the streets - no training, no prep, no experience- and STILL held her own WITHOUT her tama (the only time she actually got to use it, Key retcon'd the whole thing).
> If nothing else, I could see him having a heart to heart with her as a fellow Captain in the future.
> She'd be his gateway to befriending the rest of the Knights let's be real
Next up is...
2. Ameline & Freki
> The silent x silent type
> She could ride on his shoulders (she could ride on anyone's shoulders)
> I think Freki would feel bad after wrecking her room and destroying her books.
> He'd gift her replacements & she'd give him a head-pat as a thank you; by doggy law, that's his wife now.
> They just quietly start spending more and more time together in the background.
> They never say anything, but have full conversations.
> Years go by before anyone finds out they're dating.
> The Knights all ask in shock, "SINCE WHEN?!?!"
> Ameline shrugs & just says, "Thought you knew."
> Skadi knew, but she wasn't about to blab about her brother's personal life.
3. Milo & Callista
> I call this one...
> Keeping it in the family.
> "Our brothers are dating, so why shouldn't we?"
> They got dragged into a "double date" situation with their respective brothers on one of their "back together" outings & decided to just roll with it.
> In all honesty, Milo's calm, docile demeanor might be exactly what Callista's psycho personality needs to keep in touch with reality.
> "We should kill them!!" "No, sweetie, remember, murder is bad :)))"
4. Surya & Caliban
> Omg could you imagine after the last episode???
> Talk about Family Drama
> They started dating shortly after a meet & greet between the parents & Goyens.
> The twins became 10x more unhinged after the fact as a result.
> By god, they needed a maternal figure & their father thought SURYA SUNSPEAR was gonna fill that role???
> RIP the twins' sanity
5. Behemot & Ssyelle
> He canonically thinks she's kind of cool.
> And she is cool!! Very based observation, Behemot
> Call me crazy, but they could be the next Edina x Dino
> Just living their best slice of life lives after they retire from Gorotama
> I can picture him 1000% saving Ssyelle as she's falling from a great height.
> Ssyelle inspires him to really stand up to Ragno & stop being a bully, once & for all.
> And Behemot teaches Ssyelle that Dragons really CAN turn a corner <3
6. Sugoi & Surya
> Despite their decades of mourning/despising Edina, they finally decide to make good on an old deal they made at graduation.
> Something something something if neither of us are married by 40, we'll just marry each other.
> It was originally supposed to be 30, but THAT happened &, uh, yeah, they were both too emotionally stunned to speak.
> They already know how each other takes their coffee from years of sharing a break room, what more is there to a marriage?
7. Sanga & Surya
> I mean, not really, but looooook
> Look at how worried Surya was about himmmm
> Sanga was probably his favorite teacher when he was in school.
> They don't share much in common, but that's his pappy.
> Sanga probably gave Surya a lot of life advice; maybe not good advise, but advise nonetheless.
8. Sanga & Volgora
> I just like their accents tbh
> Honestly wouldn't be surprised if they're married.
> But they keep it so lowkey nobody knows unless they ask.
> There's a spike of disbelief every year from the new students who find out for the first time.
> Their polar opposite personalities are what keeps things fresh in their marriage.
> Volgora originally only started talking to Sanga because she found Osupa (his crow) adorable.
> She's the Dorothy to his Scarecrow <333
9. Tiffania & Milo
> Okay, but why was Odward giving Milo such a hard time about his jelly tama when there's literally already a player on the Bards with a BUBBLEGUM tama???
> Miss me with that mess, Odward
> I think these two would bond over their candy-themed tamas.
> How they were both underestimated because who in their right mind would fight ghosts, dragons, & the elements with CANDY???
> But damn won't they do it.
> They go on cute dates to try all the new pastries & ice-cream flavors at their favorite cafes idc idc idc
> I like this one a lot tbh it's not even crack
10. Ragno & Brunelca!
> Once again, I just think it's funny
> But also wouldn't it be so cute
> He's the big, gruff bully of the season
> She's the school nerd but in a socially acceptable way
> Jock x Nerd OTP coded
> She starts out as a big fan of his but then quickly jumps over to the Knights team within a single game.
> It lowkey bothers him so he starts doing the most random out of pocket shit to get her attention back on him.
> And it doesn't work so he winds up sobbing at her door at 2am, asking why isn't he good enough anymore & why doesn't she cheer for him like she used to & what does he need to do to get her approval & & &- (someone get this kid some therapy STAT)
> She takes pity on him & starts meeting up with him once a week to let him vent about his problems & offer him some practical (& impractical) advice, as both a gorotama player & as a person.
> Where other people find her super annoying, he finds her endearing. She's probably the healthiest friendship he's ever had & he's super grateful for her energizing spirit.
Since my first post about Red was liked, here's a second one.
Because of the OG timeline, Red associates punishment with wip or nights in the dungeon. One day, she breaks Pink's teacup by accident and leaves immediately. Pink is annoyed that she didn't apologise but her and Bridget starts getting worried after some time because they haven't seen Red anywhere after that. They order a search party. Meanwhile, Red has chained herself in the dungeon and brags to Maddox about her girlfriend(Chloe).
They only find Red the next morning when they feed Maddox breakfast.
Imagine Red has some bad scars on her back from getting whipped in the OG timeline when she was younger but was used to everyone knowing about it so one day she wears something backless and everyone in the castle is panicking, especially Pink and Bridget but Red is like 'mhm, winds feels good on my back.'

So I was trying to draw a drawing for every ship day (as a personal challenge) and i ended up not making the 1st day and right now the 2nd day is very bad sketches. So instead here's a list of future/married headcanons i wrote a long time ago for my current RWBY OTP: Winter x Marrow
BOTH
Mixed Atlas ring tradition with faunus armband tradition, and got non-matching rings in each other’s color (Marrow wears Winter’s color, ice blue; Winter wears Marrow’s color, blue-green/teal). This is a growing trend in Mantle.
Neither are big on PDA. Marrow will put his arm around her and she’ll lean in. Winter will grab and link his arm sometimes when they walk, which means she really likes him right now. Sometimes they’ll hold hands.
They don’t kiss that often but Marrow will kiss Winter’s cheek sometimes (usually as a greeting or a goodbye, not often in public) and Winter will get a little smile on her face, most of the time she blushes. Sometimes he’ll stay a couple seconds longer and sniff her hair, which she responds to by putting her hand on his face and shoving him away (he’s laughing). Winter hardly ever kisses Marrow. If he’s sitting down and she comes up behind him and puts her arms around his shoulders, she’ll usually kiss the top of his head.
Getting together in the first place was a huge scandal for Winter’s parents. A Schnee dating/eloped with a faunus?! Also there was a lot of military paperwork to go through so they didn’t break fraternization rules.
Winter’s parents were not happy when they heard the news, but they did not disown her. They even tried to control the press so they could put a more positive spin on it (AKA attempt to save some Schnee reputation), making it sound more like a publicity stunt.
They do not attend any Schnee functions. They do not want to lose a whole day being miserable and being asked/overhearing insensitive questions about how their relationship works. The few they attend are usually because its being thrown for Weiss or Whitley, and Winter does want to support them occasionally when its actually something big.
They have a lot of inside jokes and watch stupid youtube videos together
Neither of them are really tactile people, but Marrow’s tail always wags when Winter plays with his hair. They subconsciously created a routine where Marrow will put his head in her lap when they’re on the couch and she’ll run her fingers through his hair. Most other touching occurs on the arms and back, and they do like to lean into each other in a side-hug type thing but it doesn’t happen all the time.
Marrow is the only person Winter lets hold her when she’s upset. She still doesn’t like him to see it but she lets him. She used to lock him out and it frustrated him.
They ended up sticking to more classic petnames, “honey” and “sweetheart”. “Babe” was in the mix for a little bit but it didn’t last long.
If they had kids it would be a boy/two boys. According to RWBY genetics he/they would both be dog faunus.
MARROW
Is the Fun Guy Husband married to the Emotionless Badass Wife. A lot of people don’t understand their relationship and it upsets him.
He managed to injure his hip, and whenever it hurts again he has to put up with “old man” jokes.
Tells Winter a lot of bad jokes and she loves them, he can see her fighting not to smile and when they’re touching he can feel her silent laughter. Most people can’t tell, and think his jokes fall flat and don’t understand how he hasn’t given up on that yet. The most anyone who does know Winter will get is if she snorts, which is practically actual laughter for her, but people who don’t know her will interpret it as a “please stop”.
Winter has come home to find him sitting in the dark and wakes up sometimes in the middle of the night to him moving around in pitch blackness. He forgets he can see in the dark sometimes (when it’s a gradual progression of light).
Occasionally Marrow will come up behind Winter, put his arms around her, lean his head down, and then take a big loud breath in to smell either her hair or her neck. She always pushes him away but sometimes she actually giggles. She has her own version of this, where instead of sniffing she just blows a raspberry into his neck. He thinks that’s legitimately gross but Winter grew up with siblings so its just another tactic in the Annoying Arsenal for her.
Marrow is not above chasing Winter around with whatever bug he found in the house she asked him to kill.
WINTER
Maintained damage from her battle with Cinder, worsened by her continuous movement afterward and her fights with Ironwood. She has limitations she was angry with at first, but over the years she’s learned how to ask for help.
She can’t carry a lot of weight. Her and Marrow have developed a routine where he picks her stuff up for her without her asking, and it just looks like a husband carrying his wife’s bags. It used to make her angry when Marrow did that without him asking or her asking, but now she appreciates it. This way it doesn’t make Winter look “weak”, and she feels a little bit of love every time he does it without her asking (which is almost every time).
When it gets cold or rains her body will hurt, and so does Marrow’s. Her and Marrow are considering moving to a warmer location because of this.
She still works for the military(?) but isn’t on active duty.
She finds Marrow really funny, but most people can’t tell that she does. He’s learned to read her micro-expressions.
She’s much more relaxed now. Winter had it ingrained into her from a young age to always look good, put together, and wear nice (mostly uncomfortable) clothes. You’ll now often find her with her hair in a ponytail (instead of her bun) and slightly less nice clothes. She even gives small smiles sometimes.
She got into wearing sweatpants and sweatshirts while at the Academy. She still wears them now (and Marrow’s old sweatshirt to bed in the winter) but only around the house. If her parents knew they would be ashamed.
If Winter hears you disrespecting her husband while he’s not around to stop her she will come after you. She is very good at the “what did you say. No, no, I wanna hear it” intimidation thing.
Winter can, will, and has fallen asleep on the couch right after sitting down. She’s the napping dad in this marriage.
Marrow’s sense of smell is much stronger than hers, so she went through this process of learning to remember to buy certain things with this specific smell or to look for the no scent options. She does it automatically now. She eventually threw out all her perfumes.
Tell me more about this fake relationship au I’m interested 👀
I AM GLAD YOU ASKED
So its not all that thought out right now, because I thought it up last night. I'll make a whole post on it when I'm done because it has become clear to me that this is about to become one of my AUs (aka way to thought out and researched). So you're about to get what my brain decided to spit ball at me last night. It was basically 3 dif scenarios. One was time travel of all things 🤷♀️
So the root of all these is that Jacques did something (again) that upset a lot of people, and people are huddled up in a group (in the training room? break room?) talking about it. Someone mentions how it doesnt matter what anyone does, it doesnt really effect the guy personally. Marrow says something along the lines of "I wish we could hurt him personally, just once, just to finally get a hit in" (is he allowed to say that on the job? idk but its fanfic so). And either Weiss or Winter suggests the fake dating/marriage idea. I like to think Winter has a lot of personality inside her, she just only expresses anger/irritation outwardly, which Marrow will discover through this journey 😏. So does she like the idea of facing her dad when he's mad? Its canon that she doesnt but Weiss seems to enjoy making him mad when she's not there to get yelled at so I'm transferring that to Winter and dialing it up a bit. So basically Marrow wants to take a potshot at either Jacques or just Atlas elite society in general and Winter is always down for pissing off her dad.
Now heres where things get shifty. Right now Im only coming up with Married For Years dynamic or Oh Shit This Is Serious level of situation which doesnt quite work with the prank vibes this began as. Like Winter and Marrow being forced to have dinner with her parents and stuff after they "eloped", which is just angst, and i was going for Winter and Marrow playing into whatever crazy thing the tabloids are saying. And like by doing this (real or fake) they could be breaking a lot of fraternization rules, turning a fake scandal into a real one. Granted the media, and therefore everyone Jacques has to talk to at functions, cares more about a Schnee dating a faunus. Winter and Ironwood are pretty tight so I dont think either would loose their job. They might try to get Ironwood to officiate their wedding, in a version where they go all in, and he has to say no because if he does that he will officially burn every bridge he has with Jacques and the military kinda needs his dust.
so basically i gotta decide if its gonna be funny, and in turn how much i can stretch their personalities before they get OOC, or it would be serious, with Winter and Marrow trying to keep this up when they dont actually know much about each other and the Ace Ops making unhelpful commentary (*cough* referring to Winter by names Marrow now knows Winter hates, like "cold-hearted" *cough*). I dont see it as "we were drunk and in Vegas and thought it was a funny idea" type thing but also that would be HILARIOUS and i just cant take it off the table yet. Im also having trouble coming up with why Marrow would agree to this, because someone would def try to talk him out of it and a lot is on the line for a prank
as for the time travel one (it was actually this first one that popped into my head and i dont even like that trope, and now its kinda my fav option for this) it was Winter (and Marrow?) ending up back in time during V7 or before era, and present!Marrow seeing a whole nother side of her when she slips and acts like this version of him is her husband, and the Ace Ops actually seeing her express emotion since future!Marrow has managed to pull some personality into her external expressions. And the whole reason they are happily married never wouldve happened if they hadnt gotten married to piss off Jacques. Also Ice Queen Schnee glaring at everyone but being soft around her fun guy husband. Like she's staring daggers at Harriet while Marrow hands her a ice pack and sits next to her on the couch before putting his arm around her and she leans in. Maybe the fight with Cinder left her with lasting injuries (it prob did. I mean she was in a exoskeleton just to walk in V8) and in the following year Marrow got hurt too, so Ruby is over in the corner calling them "old" when they start complaining about how the Atlas cold is making their bodies hurt and "this is why we moved to [insert warm location here]"
