HELLO THERE BUMBLEBY ENJOYERS I miss tumblr a lot and I’m trying to get back the habit to post here so, I’m accepting some bumbleby doodles requests! (feel free to ask for other rwby characters as well tho)
so shoot me your ideas and i’ll draw it right away!! >:)
Hello, I’ve recently had a really rough time with a bad breakup followed closely by family troubles and losing my job and was wondering if maybe you could write a short fic with Qrow comforting his crush or S/O after a similar events? I’d imagine he’d be a little awkward, but he’d genuinely try, and I feel like it’d be nice to just hug the drunkle (and maybe have a good cry hidden away in his chest).
i do apologize this took so long to get to. if you need someone to talk to, don’t hesitate to message me. this goes for everyone. times are very difficult and i hope, even if not just through writing, i’ll be able to support you through this rough patch! stay strong.
SILENCE
The rain always made things gloomier, and with the heavy weight that continued to build, it didn’t make your mood any better. As you watched the rain droplets hit against the glass and slowly trail down your window, you sniffed, ignoring the soreness of both your eyes and nose. You looked to your faint reflection through the window, looking at the redness of your sclera and circles underneath your eyes.
It was too recurring, the constant grief that filled you. The conflicted thoughts that loitered in your mind, shifting from temple to temple, drew out more inner pain and it exhausted you. Why was it always when you were least expecting it? Why was it always when you were trying your hardest? Were you not good enough? Were you just making a big scene? Were there steps you needed to take but didn’t see?
As you sat silently on your bed with your knees pulled to your chest, you couldn’t make anything of it. How pathetic you must’ve looked, sitting in the dim light of your room as it poured down raining. By this point, feigning any and all smiles were null and void. Exhaling deeply, you felt the water form at the corners of your eyes, but your face did not visibly release your physical sadness.
If you had performed better, they told you, you would still have it. If you paid more attention to the marks of tardiness that affected your attendance. If you “toughed it through” and didn’t let your anxiety get the best of you, causing you to call off so often. You promised us an outstanding employee, and you failed to meet your promise to us. Things happen, right? It’s not that you didn’t try, just…
Wait.
Maybe they were right – especially your family. The constant fighting and unhealthy passive-aggressive nature of your parents, less than approving of your shortcomings – and now your termination – made them think less of you. “Home” was more of a foreign land for you now, and the years of complications made the lump in your throat appear even bigger. You rubbed your temples, murmuring something to yourself incoherently as you felt the rush of anxiety take hold of you.
It squeezed you, the clasp most heavy on your heart and around your throat, causing you to shake. The one thing – the one that did tie you together, and help you – One of the most dreadful hits to your heart that happened ontop of it all – losing the one you cared about the most. Not being able to see their smile, having them here, when you needed them most. You did something, you knew it, and they wanted to separate. Nothing to do with you. It just kept building. One thing, after the next, after the next, after the next.
It hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt…
“Hey,” a deep, gruff voice snapped you out of your spiraling, and you almost immediately lifted your head. Your swollen eyes looked frantically around the room before you landed them on a raven-haired figure, leaning distance from you against the wall.
“Oh,” you uttered, blinking. “Qrow… I didn’t–” You exhaled and relaxed your posture, straightening your back. He narrowed his eyes, a slightly embarrassed you laughing nervously. “Sorry, I promise I’m not–”
“You weren’t at the mission briefing today.” He interrupted you from your would-be lie, eyes never left yours. “Figured you’d be here.”
You lifted your hand, as if you were going to make a point to the former teacher, but sighed, knowing it was useless. You lowered your arm, focusing your eyes elsewhere. While you were not going to discuss everything to the scythe-wielder, you knew you couldn’t exactly walk your way around the Huntsman. He knew you too well, knew too many of your quirks.
“Just a lot is going on, Qrow.” Your statement was vague, and it prompted the male to cross his arms tightly against his chest. “I… Sorry.”
He walked towards you, the sounds of his shoes clicking against the hardwood floor. While he was closer, he gave you breathing room. You both were on good terms with the other, but never really had… this sort of conversation. Ever. Qrow was never the type to display his emotions so outwardly – deeper ones, at least – and drowned himself in booze whenever he could.
“Look, I’m not gonna get all sappy, and I see you’re going through… Something.” Qrow hesitated. “I’m worried because you’ve been doing this more and more. And I need to know if you’d rather just–”
“I’m sorry, Qrow, I’m just going through something and it’s not going well and I can’t exactly be around people right now and–” you found yourself rambling and looked away from him as you felt the wave of tears come once more, affecting your voice slightly. “I didn’t even hear you come in. Sorry I’m like this. I’m fine, just, I’ll… I’ll talk to you later.”
There was a tension in the silence that followed. So much so that Qrow felt the need to exhale loudly, drawing your attention. He rolled his eyes, sitting next to you and clearing his throat. Arching an eyebrow, you looked to him quizzically and watched as he took out his canteen. Expecting him to drink from it, you waited, and were surprised as he simply took the cap off.
“I don’t know… All of what you’re going through.” He began. “But I can tell you that you’ll get through it. Can’t give up on yourself. You’ll end up like me.”
You shoved his shoulder playfully, laughing. “You say that as though that’s a bad thing. Hush up.”
Hardened, crimson irises met yours and the Huntsman remained silent. The look he had, a solemn one, made you anxious so you created more space between the two of you. Just from that he chuckled, and you held your arm. “You must apparently think highly of me to say that.”
His cheeky remark made your cheeks warm and you shoved him again, “Be quiet, I…”
You withdrew into yourself again, unsure as to why your emotions were all over the place. Qrow caught note of this, studying his rings before speaking. “I can’t speak for you, and I don’t know all the ins and outs. We’re close, but.. Y’know. You want your privacy, and I get that.” He listened as it thundered loudly, a crack of lightning piercing the sky faster than you could turn your head to turn to see it. “Shit, even I got crap I need ta deal with.”
It made you jump, feeling his hand suddenly on your shoulder. The male Branwen didn’t meet your gaze at that moment and instead looked out of your bedroom room, continuing. “It hurts, I know it. It’ll hurt like hell. But this’ll make it easier for you to get stronger. To bounce back.” He glanced down to the brown liquid within his silver canteen. His voice became quieter, but more stern.
Hi everyone! Just to let you all know I am open for gif requests
Here are some examples of gifs I’ve done: link1, link2 & link3
Be aware that those examples are basically all I am able to do, I can’t, for example, edit in characters, make graphical designs, uses colours, effects, etc because I don’t have photoshop and such
A few rules as well:
Rwby only
No rwby chibi (tbh i’m not that into it)
Be patient, i might not be able to do requests straight away when i receive them
I prefer canon ships if you are going to request a ship gifset but i’ll still do non canon ship requests (i don’t ship outside canon much, it’s not that I don’t like ships like bumblebee, it’s just how my brain works)
no bashing of any kind, whether it be about things in rwby or things irl, i’ll just delete requests that involve hate and discrimination
That seems to be about it so if it all sounds alright to you feel free to send your requests my way and i’ll get onto them as soon as possible
As part of those RWBY requests I asked about a couple days ago I asked @echollama for a request and was asked to draw one of his RWBY OC’s Perseis Corsair fishing.
Hope you like it! it was really fun to draw one of your OC’s and I am more to happy to draw the rest of team PLSM if you would be okay with that.
(RWBY Requests are still open for those interested. Just drop me an ask)
