Propaganda is below the cut.

HOLYBUN

"Their colors match and compliment each other so well, the browns and golds and bits of grey give it a cozy Fall day vibe to them. Also the depth of a Cardin redemption to Velvet forgiving him type story is wild. Truly the abuser to lover story just hits right."

EMERALD LAIR

"salem can't go five seconds without putting her hands all over Emerald, and with Cinder not wanting her Emerald needs someone to be devoted to."

ABUSE BRACKET - ROUND TWO: FALLEN PETALS VS EMERALD LAIR

Which ship do you prefer?

Fallen Petals (Ruby Rose x Cinder Fall)

Emerald Lair (Salem x Emerald Sustrai)

Propaganda is below the cut.

FALLEN PETALS

"can't call this one abusive yet specifically but it totally would be but it would also be fun. Literally that 'lets just add some hatred- oh, no, that's obsession, whoops' meme. The red/black/gold colour scheme vs red/black/silver, magic vs antimagic, (if you really wanted you could do a dark fairytale aesthetic: girl lost in the woods vs monster in the woods), this could truly be so deep and you know that if Cinder got her hands on Ruby she'd break her mind into shards goddamn, can't get more fun then that."

"Cinder would think death is too good for Ruby and would try to mentally break her."

"The OG hero/villain toxic doomed yuri of RWBY—what’s better than Cinder becoming violently passionately obsessed with a teen girl who doesn’t care that she exists? Wanting revenge in any way she can get it, desperately trying to possess the evidence of her failures… while Ruby doesn’t know what’s going on but can’t tolerate Cinder’s crimes—it’s juicy <3"

EMERALD LAIR

"salem can't go five seconds without putting her hands all over Emerald, and with Cinder not wanting her Emerald needs someone to be devoted to."
