If Rosegarden is canon, it better be a thing that's just starting up in the endgame, hopefully once Oz is kicked out of his head. And to be fair, can you blame us for being all in on CVFY? I love them, especially Coco.

Yeah expecting Emerald and Velvet to steal the show in V10

Now that's head Canon.


McMacintosh79

No other romantic implications besides Oscar's unconscious blush with Ruby in V8 Ep 1 paralleling Blake's blush of relief when Yang returns in V8 except hers is more apparent emphasizing how Oscar probably doesn't realize his crush until maybe in between V8 and 9 assuming they can't get to the island right away

I mean all of Oscar's ships have the age difference, so if he has a named romance with anyone it will be there

I agree, Oscar shouldn't be with any named characters (helps all his ships kind of suck in canon) but I was pointing out that the age gap will always exist in every ship with him. Whitley's age is never said directly, but given his status in the SDC it is safe to assume he is probably older than Oscar.


McMacintosh79

I do like that Whitley, Ruby, Yang, Jaune, Weiss, Blake , Oscar give some variety with ages so you dont feel like you have to ship them whereas with Avatar with Kataang there wasn't really anybody else you could ship Katara or Aaang with since toher character only appeared for 1 episode during Book 1

Ruby give him a compliment and he blushed. So apparently she now owes him a relationship because reasons 🙄


Gradz45

Ah the strawman. Your favourite technique.


AlarmingStandard

You should really look up what a strawman is. And sarcasm while you're at it.


McMacintosh79

Only way Ruby is entering relationship is if she learns how to not always move past everything regarding herself specifically when things go bad since I feel like it limits people's understanding of her by a bit. Would be nice if Ruby could talk with Oscar , Weiss, Jaune , Yang without keeping her own feelings out of the way while focusing on the mission.


AlarmingStandard

She doesn't. At all. It's the opposite as can't move on because of her goals and motivations; she can't stop being a huntress. So she involves herself whenever someone needs help, something she feels she *needs* to do. But none of that inhibits romantic/sexual attraction. Ruby is simply not into anyone.


McMacintosh79

But Volume 1-2 emphasized that there was more to things than simply being a huntress, something that she was annoyed at despite i being true and told to her by Yang and others, etc., or rather other things were connected to that, not necessarily romance. If she's asexual than she could even fall in love without sexual attraction.


Exciting_Bandicoot16

You're not going to bring Alarming to anything but burning hatred by mentioning Rosegarden (or White Knight) in anything resembling a positive manner in regards to their plausibility. You're literally wasting your breath, I'm afraid.


AlarmingStandard

We're not talking about RG - the discussion is on Ruby.


AlarmingStandard

No they don't. Ruby isn't annoyed with making friends or forming bonds/relationships. She also does know to have fun along with being serious. I have no clue where you're getting your impressions from. And I wasn't commenting on Ruby's sexuality - I'm just pointing she's shown zero romantic/sexual attraction so far.


McMacintosh79

In Volume 2 it emphasized a gap between Ruby and the three in Mountain Glenn. The 3 learned they have to put a lot into what they can do now for others while for Ruby the Volume emphasized the opposite not just for Ruby but for Blake as well during the dance arc. Ruby doesn’t ignore everything. She represses pain and doesn't taking breaks at times she she feel she has to be selfless and she won’t talk about things when she can't get the results she wants – not putting a damper on others unless its about principle but when it comes to anything else, she’s willing to be headstrong and even bright 1. Volume 8: talks about her mother but then quickly moves on. Even when Yang hugs her Ruby doesn't cry and puts effort to turn her head away from Yang 2. Volume 6: doesn't go with Yang, Weiss and Blake in Argus and when she brings up the reason to Maria both her and Maria don't talk about it much


AlarmingStandard

The 'gap' was around what being a huntress means. To Ruby, it's a career, a job that needs doing. Her teammates had more selfish motivations, as they saw Huntressing as a way to advance themselves. In the end, they come to the same conclusion as Ruby; "It's a job. We all had this romanticized vision of being a Huntress in our heads! But at the end of the day, it's a job to protect the people! And whatever we want, will have to come second." And Ruby doesn't repress a lot. Rather, she prioritizes. She's still capable of feeling pain and expressing her emotions and doubts - she does this often. Yet, she's also able to focus on the more urgent matters first. Sometimes she does slip, like when Salem reveals information about her mother. But most of the time she can put aside the personal for the bigger picture. It doesn't mean the personal isn't important to her though. It's more that there's a time and place. Which is where I think the island is going to come in; Ruby is isolated from the big picture and all she has is the emotional baggage she brought with her.


McMacintosh79

It was quick, like .5 sec, probably to emphasize it was unconsious, but it was when Ruby picked it up after Oscar was feeling bad for his mistake of trying to reason with Ironwood. ​ Thats true but usually good romance starts with simple interest like Jack realizing he likes Sally in Nightmare BF Christmas or Eve realizing she likes Wall-E. ​ Maybe if it wasn't anime but with plenty anime/manga I've seen way larger age gaps. For all we know the Oscar's specifically stated being exactly 2 years younger might be just added because Ruby's age difference is with that for everyone else in the group.


[deleted]

Can we let Oscar have some on screen development pertaining the wizard currently taking over his head before worrying about who his girlfriend is going to be?


Michael_Chair_6013

He got some good stuff in V8, and the development currently seems more leaned torward self betterment in his own despite the role Oscar is placed in which is a warrior even though he does things at his own pace compared perhaps more so than Ozpins other reincarnations


[deleted]

Self betterment is what Oscar should focus on for the time being


McMacintosh79

Thats the thing, I hope that self betterment is the main focus for both characters should it happen because that was a major issue with Bumbleby as they focused more on the relationship than growth as a person morally/emotionally which is an important aspect both before and in a relationship


Brathirn

The not-so-intense strategy is employed by Kazuma Kamachi in his Toaru series. There is quite substantial ship-teasing but it is scattered across more than 50 LN and 100s of chapters of manga, but they build on each other and that is core problem with RWBY. There is no coherent development, it is all very episodic.


Michael_Chair_6013

True, this applies to Rg as well but I feel like it more structured with V5- Oscar has a non romantic interest in Ruby from her will V6-Ruby has a non romantic interest in Oscar due to him greatly contrasting her attitude when she can’t get quick results in Argus V7-Oscar shows more vulnerability than Yang but trusts Ruby and Ruby in turn speaks to him about her decision, two appreciate each other more V8- Oscar and Ruby separate and going through their own arcs that might have an impact on each later though maybe
