RWBY SHIPPING II - Blacksun

Hello again everyone !

Onward with the shippy songs, I'm continuing with Blacksun !

Why ? Because, sue me I still like them, and I'm very happy with their choice song since it's a song I've rarely seen used or recognized Their theme song is Communist lovesong - Soltero

WHY THIS SONG ?

This song fits in my opinion both Blacksun as a couple, as well as their WF-related storyline from V4-V5 and it's this specificity that made me choose this song for them.

The song notably presents someone who is disillusioned with certain ideas & has been convinced that things cannot work out even if the original idea was well-meaning. It's a view that perfectly fits Blake's relationship with the White Fang during V4-V5.

As the song continues however, the singer seems to get back on his feet. Imagining this song as a back & forth between Blake and Sun, Sun alleviating Blake's sadness at the WF current's state and encouraging her to keep going, makes the song fit them especially well.

A few noteworthy lyrics :

When V4 rolls over, Blake has nearly given up on the WF & her determination at stopping their harm. The WF was a great idea, well meaning & well conceived, but got lost somewhere along the way until Blake didn't feel like she belonged with them. Faced with the attack on Beacon, the WF involvement and Yang's state, Blake isn't sure that fighting is worth the price anymore.

Sun on the other hand, is as ready to lend a hand and provide some advice as ever. He helps Blake to accept others' help & respect their choices in spite of her guilt. Guilt that he doesn't allow her to dwell in.

More than anything, and even if his timing isn't always the best, Sun knew how much the WF mattered to Blake, and kept an open eye even when she herself didn't feel up to it.

Thanks to a bit of rest, as well as Sun's steadfast attempts to help with the WF and her pent-up guilt, Blake manages to reconcile her disapproval for the WF current methods with her desire to still fight for what the WF was supposed to be. People might think that all of WF is bad & rotten, but Blake knows that to be false. And she's determined to build back up and to try again.

Blake & Sun are both Faunus and as such, even if Sun wasn't born & raised here, he's still concerned by the WF actions. Menagerie is a haven for Faunus of all kind, *their* land and Blake in particular is tied to it. All throughout V4-5; they walk their land together, Sun being particularly determined at helping Blake with her struggles.

And that's it for Blacksun ! Don't hesitate to tell me what you think. If you find my shipping + songs list, you can also ask me to do X ship next.

I think putting lyrics on gif is less time consuming for me. So I'll prob keep doing that when I can. Tell me if they gifs aren't too ugly zkffnqj

Gudnight everyone !

I have so many ideas of songs to apply to RWBY characters in one way or another, like I can picture it perfectly in an AMV, I'm imagining the lyrics with the scenes in the background...

Except I've never ever made an AMV, idk how to or what programm to use 😭 I'm coping with music posts to at least put the ideas OUT THERE instead of just letting them rot in my brain, but the yearning to just... snap my fingers & make them into AMVs is so strong

I'm putting my long list of song ideas under the cut if anyone's interested If per chance someone who sees this makes AMV, all these ideas are like... free to take just give me the link to the results if you use them 🙏 (and like, if you credit me for the idea in a corner that'd be NEAT but really not mandatory)

Yang - Piece by Piece (Kelly Clarkson) ➸ About Raven's abandonment, how Tai/Qrow made up for it, and her inconditional love for Ruby

Blake & Yang - Forgive me friend (Smith & Thell) ➸ About their fallout in V4-V5 due to their respective issues

Ruby & Yang - Trenches (Beth Crowley) ➸ About their respective Branwen relationships, Qrow & Raven, and the struggles they put them through at times (the difference between the two being that Qrow is always willing to change and do better) .

Ozpin & Ruby - Burned out (Dodie) ➸ On the concept of leadership, and the similarities between the two

Oz-carnations - I was Wrong (the Oh Hellos) ➸ About their story and mistakes, but mostly how guilty and sorry they feel about it

Blake & Ozpin - Savior (Beth Crowley) OR Don't Make Me (MALINDA) ➸ About their respective abusive relationships with Adam & Salem

Ozpin - Liar (Arcadian Wild) ➸ On Ozpin's lies, his guilt fighting his desire to appear strong and reliable. Ends with showing how RWBYJNRQ succumb to the same need to save face and hide their struggles. .

Ren - Keep you safe (Crane Wives) ➸ About Ren's struggles with risk and the fear of failure

Renora - Line without a Hook ➸ About their relationships, ups-and-down. Alternating PoV. .

Qrow - Ship in a Bottle (Steffan Argus) ➸ About Qrow's downward spiral, and how Ozpin/Clover factor into that

Adults in the RWBYverse - Human (Rag'n'Bone Man) ➸ To highlight the humanity of the adult cast. About their mistakes, and how they boil down to humanity's fallibility. My top adult pick for this one are Ozpin, Qrow, Ironwood & Raven. Then Winter probably ? And maybe others can be found. .

Sun about Blake - She wants me (to be loved) (The Happy Fits) ➸ One-sided love that realizes they won't be loved back, while acknowledging that Blake does love Sun (platonically) and wants the best for him. The most anti-incel song, 10/10

Sun & Weiss - Soap (The Oh Hellos) ➸ Sun singing to Blake and Weiss to Yang, platonic love, V4-V5 focus .

Penny & Pyrrha - If I die young (The Band Perry) ➸ About their lives, cut short. Highlight on their sacrifice and the good times

Penny - Bright Idea (Mother Mother) ➸ About the love Penny found in her life, her relationships, her growth and choices, and simply how great of a person she was. Good vibes .

Ironwood - Hunger (Monsters & Men) ➸ On his struggles & shot mental health, and his jarring behaviour in V8.

Emerald - Be my Escape (Relient K) ➸ About Emerald's doubts & subconsequent redemption, and Oscar's role in it.

Emerald - 10 feet tall (Cavetown) ➸ On the need to appear big & tough when her main goal is to find a home & family .

Salem - The Angry River (The Hat)

Mercury - The Moon will Sing (Crane Wives) ➸ A different look at Mercury's harsh persona, focused on his status as an abuse victim who feels trapped by the darkness they were raised in

Adam - This is Love (Air Traffic Controller) ➸ About his twisted personnality & abusive behaviour toward Blake

Neo - Snowcone (Rei Ami) ➸ About the duality of Neo, who is such a competent bad bitch but also so vulnerable without Roman, and still lost as to what to do with herself since his death
