Ruby: So, hey! Welcome to the team, uh…how exactly does your semblance work?
Emerald: Oh, it’s a metaphor for being gaslit.
Blake: Nice! Mine’s a metaphor for dissociation!
Ruby: Haha, wow! Must be wild to have a semblance with symbolism like that. Not like mine, you know, with the charging headfirst into problems, the pressure and danger of always needing to make high-stakes snap decisions while constantly moving without ever really slowing down to process them! ….Ah, beans.
Jaune: [raises a hand wearily] Deep-rooted belief that my worth is tied to what I can give to others even if it destroys me to do it.
Nora: [also raising hand] Channeling intense pain inflicted by deadly forces outside my control that would have killed most people into strength and a distracting lightshow.
Ren: [sigh]
Ren and Nora, both pointing at him: Emotional repression.
Yang: ….y’all m-my semblance is punching things, it’s–it’s not that deep, guys.
Yang: Like, all I do is take strength in constant blows from the world and redirect my pain to motherFUCKER–
Weiss: Wow that all sounds so stressful, it’s a good thing I don’t have to worry about my semblance being an individual expression because my family just assigned me it at GODDAMNIT.
Pyrrha: I’m lucky to have been blessed with such a wonderful semblance which definitely isn’t a metaphor for how people are drawn to me because I’m so different from them, leaving me with only superficial connections, but those who might actually understand me are held at a distance and pushed violently away if they ever get too close…
Cinder: Ha! You foolish children- held down by your pitiful emotions. My semblance only reflects my raw power! I will take the dirt and ash the world hurls at me and forge it into the blade with which I’ll cut you down! This has nothing to do with my childhood traumas, NOTHING!!!!
RWBY name: pick a color
RWBY weapon: pick a weapon, add a gun. If it’s already a gun, add another gun.
RWBY Semblance: pick an emotional trauma.
Never forget that Mermista is canonly super strong and can lift/hold/carry her idiot pirate boyfriend effortlessly

“doesn’t it remind you of the first time we met? you also tried to kill me then! couldn’t wait to sweep me off my feet?!”
“UGH. why are you like this?”
“because i love you, dearest. and also because it’s a good distraction! i hope you forgive me for this when you’re back to normal.”
the gentle brushing of her hair from her forehead immmmm so SOFT
RWBY Volume 7, Chapter 11:
Or As I like to call it:
THE MOST ANXIETY-DRIVEN 18 MINUTES OF 2020 SO FAR
“He always assured me that what we were doing was right. But his view of the world turned out to be not right for everybody.”
(sorry for the low quality, don’t have photoshop anymore lol)
What if... What if Ruby lose her eye in the last chapter of this Volume and that's the last thing we see before Volume 8...??
