hi yes my name is nev and i either cant focus on anything or i hyperfocus and do something like this in four hours

If you have even a shred of respect for artists & think that engaging in the sharing of patreon-exclusive content with non-patrons is bad, don’t join the RWBY Fan Creations Community server on discord. If you’re currently in it, leave.

This will probably end up on the server, so I’ll say this too: Just because I’m no longer there doesn’t mean that I don’t know what’s going on, there’s several people I know in the server itself so it’s not like I’m basing this on past experiences, it’s still happening and arguably getting worse. I won’t reveal them and they won’t reveal themselves, but it’s safe to say the more people you invite the more people become aware of how toxic and anti-artist your whole server and especially the owner is.

(in response to a post made in the #nsfw-gallery, no I didn’t leave because my friend convinced me. I was already planning on leaving)

Boost - I’ve heard nothing but bad things from that Discord since it was created, and the things I’ve seen 100% support the notion that it’s an awful place and the people in it (especially the owner) are equally awful people.

I’ve seen shitting on artists work, begging for free art, harassing artists to share their WIPs and other works for free, hounding artists to join and not taking no for an answer, and more.

It’s a shitty place, and everyone would do well to avoid it and ensure you keep your uploads resized if you don’t wish the high res versions to be leaked - they abuse tumblrs automatic resizing to get fullsize images regardless of if the artist wanted them to be shared or not, plus patreon leaks and absolutely no repurcussions for the people who engage in the shitty behaviour to begin with.

Tl;dr: Avoid, spread the word, don’t let yourself or any of your artist friends suffer through that shithole.

i love seeing people interact with one (1) of our taiqrow posts and then going through our entire taiqrow tag on our art blog fjdjjdjfjdg.

I’m really emotional about Qrow in V4

You would think Qrow would be emotionless

His archetype is cold and distant but Qrow’s not

In fact he shows himself to be really emotional and vulnerable in this volume

When we see him fight Winter back in V3, he knows he’ll win because of his semblance, and even in moments of surprise, he doesn’t seem all that fazed

He puts four kids in danger and he PANICS. He looks more scared than he did at the Fall of Beacon.

When he talks to Raven he’s clearly very angry at her, but the anger’s been there a long time so it comes out really passive-aggressively which is really all we’ve seen up until the fight with Tyrian

He’s so angry at Tyrian he can’t even finish his sentence before he launches at him

He gets stabbed and the first thing he does is look at Ruby and it’s the first time you really see the shines in Qrow’s eyes (the little white shiny things.) On Qrow’s model they’re usually not as prominent, and I took it as him being so panicked he’s on the verge of tears, but he’s worried about Ruby, not himself

Later he gets so stressed from Jaune’s comments he snaps at him a little bit.

Ruby calls him out for not trusting her enough and he tries to avoid the subject until Nora makes him talk

And when Jaune makes a remark about his semblance, Qrow doesn’t brush it off. This middle aged, veteran huntsman is highly affected by the words of some 17-18-year old guy he doesn’t know

In his little spell of delirium he calls out to Taiyang in desperation

Qrow grabbing Jaune’s hand wasn’t really clear to me, but I was certain it was sign of desperation and more panic

Then later he holds Ruby’s hand because his niece is trying to comfort him and he needs her there with him

The whole scene after Ruby’s letter where she sits by him, he says Ruby saved him and I forever scream because he sleeps curled up in a ball (he lays on his back or sleeps up against a tree in earlier episodes, and this position makes him look a lot more vulnerable and small)

When he meets Oscar, he’s completely caught off guard by both Oz and Oscar and you see it register on his face

Tl;dr: let qrow cry so that I don’t

Canon Ages

I’m gonna give a run down of the ages (or approximate ages) of some of the cast at present based on what we know

Ruby - 16 years old. volume 3 ended in the Fall semester and Winter came along before the time skip, Ruby’s birthday is October 31st, meaning her birthday fell during the brief skip between the fall of Beacon and Ruby leaving for Mistral - as discussed here, it’s been a year since the start of volume 2 in-universe, meaning Ruby is weeks or a couple months at most away from her 17th birthday

Weiss, Blake and Yang - at least 18, as mentioned, it’s been a year since volume 2, and it seems that no birthdays were celebrated over the first semester, so they were presumably all still 17 at the start of that volume, and turned 18 since

Nora, Ren and Jaune - see above

Winter - according to the AMA, she’s 5/6 years older than Weiss, putting her at around 23/24 years old

Oscar - we’ve been told that he’s 14 years old

Sun - 18 or older - again, it’s been a year, but Sun’s an interesting case because we never actually got confirmation that he was a first year, and his dialogue referring to Neptune as an ‘old friend’ in volume 2 doesn’t make sense if they’re first years, considering partway through the first semester Sun ditched his team and stowed away on a boat for… unexplained reasons, which might suggest that Sun was a second or third year student (the latter of which would answer the question of how Yang knew he was ‘the competition’ when he was just a random stowaway - if he’d fought in the last tournament she might’ve recognised him, because the event is televised)

Raven, Qrow and Taiyang - at least 40, possibly as old as 43, for reasons I discussed here, but as Yang is 18 (as above) and Raven was confirmed to have graduated Beacon, she had to have been at least 22 when Yang came along, meaning she and the rest of her team have to be at least 40 now

[taiqrow]

me: i have no intention of ever opening commissions

feh: comes out with units i really want

my gatcha loving ass: h

[good-rwbyaus]

Everyone else is so used to Yang and Ruby addressing Qrow as ‘Uncle Qrow’ that they start calling him that as well without even giving it a second thought. This reinforces the concept that Qrow has basically adopted a group of angsty teenage nieces and nephews

Great!

Headcanon on Team STRQ and swearing

Raven and Qrow were among the most foul mouthed students in the history of Beacon Academy. However, Raven swore in the traditional sense. Saying things like, “What the fuck,” “You son of a bitch,” and “Eat shit, asshole.” Qrow on the other hand, swore far more frequently but used them as sentence enhancers, and almost always used them in a positive way. Obviously, the Branwen twins went to detention frequently because of this, but this did not dissuade them from swearing more and continued out of spite or just not caring. Taiyang would rarely ever say one of the major swears, only in times of great stress and usually catching himself before saying the whole word. However, he is much more liberal with the use of “damn,” “crap,” and “hell” and only tries to censor himself when there is an authority figure present. But, by senior year, the colorful language of the Branwen twins had rubbed off on him, and would not longer stop himself from saying “fuck,” “shit,” and “bitch.”

Summer was certainly the outlier of the team. Not just by having the most PG vocabulary, but also having the most anti-swears. “Great Googly-Moogly!” “Oh higgledy-piggledy…” “Fry my hide!” Just to name a few of the dozens of things she would blurt out in stressful times. And while she initially would get on Raven’s, Qrow’s, and even Tai’s case about their swearing in their first semester together as a team, she eventually learned it was going to be a battle she just couldn’t win.

Summer is however, the only member of team STRQ to say “Cunt.” Which she said under her breath during the team’s final mission of senior year when she was 10000% done with her team’s bullshit. The combined stress of all nighters studying for finals, tutoring her teammates so they would pass their finals, and having to run this train wreck of a team while fighting probably 100+ Grimm was just too much to bear and it just slipped out. This actually was enough for the rest of her team to collectively think, “Oh fuck…” Get their shit together and complete their final mission with flying colors. No one ever brought up Summer swearing ever again.

team STRQ are/would be in their 40s right now

we know that, circa her second semester at Beacon when she was still 17, Yang told Blake that Raven left just after she was born, meaning she’s been gone at least 17 years

we also know that Raven had to be at least 22 when she left, as team STRQ were confirmed to have graduated from Beacon in volume 3 - Beacon students start at around 17, meaning they’d turn 18 during that school year (for Ruby to be considered two years younger when she’d turn 16 just after the tournament, as her birthday end of October), there are four school years, so graduating age is 22

so during the first three volumes, Raven, and thus Qrow and Tai, would’ve been at least 39

volume 5 ends the day before the start of the Fall semester - volume 2 started the day before the second semester, which was also the Fall semester (as the Vytal Festival is confirmed in that same episode to take place during that semester, and vol 3 confirms that it’s Fall), so Yang’s definitely 18 by the end of volume 5, meaning Raven and the others have to be at least 40

and of course, maximum age is not much above 40 either, because the unofficial cutoff for becoming a Maiden is 30, and we know the last Spring Maiden only ran away from Haven ‘over a decade ago’ - so could be as much as 12/13 years before volume 5, which in terms of potential maximum leaves 'Raven became a Maiden not long after Spring showed up and she was in her late 20s and so she’s 40 now’ or 'Raven was already/nearly 30 when Spring showed up and so is 42/43 now’

I only just now saw it, but if you still wanted to do that CHARACTER ASK MEME - how about for Yang and Ruby? C:

3 things i have in common with yang:

mom friend

adrenaline seeking

coping with depression/trauma

3 things i have in common with ruby:

big sweet tooth

loving and adoring dogs

more fascinated by engineering than being social

3 things i DON’T have in common with yang:

long hair (mine’s short!)

preference to fists over longer ranged weapons (i’d rather fight with a staff or sword)

confident regardless of the situation (i’m often rather shy and unsure and keep to myself)

3 things i DON’T have in common with ruby:

overly energetic (i’m much more relaxed)

unable to read social cues (i’m really good at reading people)

fast (like not necessarily in reference to her semblance, but i can’t run much)

[taiqrow]

I'm at work with the wordt headache thibki about my debt and internally crying. And Qrow is extremely busy spring break so I'll see him like. Once. Hhhhhoh.
