Ill Protect You No Matter What !

I’ll protect you no matter what !

Consider this: Sakura secretly loving swords (bc she's a lesbian and what lesbian doesn't love swords??)

i absolutely agree and offer this iconic sword lesbian official art

but also consider: why stop at swords

just wanted to post this because i love this frame so much. protective gf squishing her face against her unconscious gf.

Ugh why didn't suigetsu become a master swordsman who d be able to weild all the seven swords like he wanted to collect them , he could have saved them all up in scrolls but use it like pokeballs , also that d be some cool character development , would be badass .

I honestly really love the weapon symbolism in RWBY. Ruby says in the second episode that their weapons are extensions of themselves, and it’s absolutely true. 

Like, take Crescent Rose for example: in Volume 4-6, it’s scarred, it’s cracked, it’s beaten up, but it’s still working. Much like it’s owner. And in Volume 7, it’s upgrade isn’t in firepower or something new and fancy, it adds adaptability.

Crocea Mors is also a fantastic example. In the beginning, it is literally not Jaune’s weapon. It’s his great-grandfather’s. It’s a manifestation of the legacy Jaune is desperately trying to live up to. 

Come Volume 4, and Jaune adds Pyrrha’s diadem to the shield, symbolising that he’s now attempting to live up to Pyrrha’s example as well. Plus, it gains a mode where Jaune sacrifices his defense for offense, foreshadowing his suicidally reckless belief that he doesn’t matter.

(It’s not a coincidence that this form is first revealed when Ren is going through a bit suicidal recklessness.)

Come Volume 7, and he now focuses on the Shield, symbolizing how Jaune has switched his focus to supporting and defending those around him. 

We’ve also all noticed that Gambol Shroud now intergrates Kintsugi into the design: the idea that something that has been repaired, healed can be more beautiful than before it was broken. 

But I really love Cinder’s weapon symbolism. 

Chronologically, the first appearance of Midnight is in Beginning of the End. Where it’s an actual metal weapon that Cinder carries around with her. But once she gains half of the Maiden powers, she tosses it to the ground and burns it. 

Symbolically, Cinder has sacrificed a part of herself in her quest for power. 

Throughout Volume 2 and 3, the Midnight we see is a facsimile, a fake created with the Maiden Powers. Cinder is trying to use the powers to replace a part of herself she’s lost. 

But that Midnight is made of glass. It’s fragile, easily broken. 

And after Volume 3, she hasn’t used Midnight at all. She’s trying to distance herself from what Midnight represents, what she’s left behind in her search for power.  There’s nothing actually stopping her from reclaiming it, reforging it, creating it anew… except herself. 

And if you’ll notice, when Cinder creates obsidian blades now, it’s never the same blade. The RWBY Wiki lists nine different sword designs she uses just in last few episodes of Volume 5. Even in Volume 6, when she’s making daggers down in the Vault, there’s five different dagger designs. And in the fight with Winter and Penny, she uses three of those swords, and one of the knives. 

Combine that with her incredibly frequent outfit changes, and it paints a picture of a young woman who doesn’t really know who she is, only who she doesn’t want to be. 

I’m going back through the war arc and wondering if Sasuke even lets Naruto use sharp eating utensils.
