I've Spoken Before On Raven And Darling And How They're Such Good Foils To Each Other, But I Really,

i've spoken before on raven and darling and how they're such good foils to each other, but i really, really just want to emphasize this scene right here because it makes me LOSE it.

(also please don't mind maddie and her expressions)

i personally love the way darling looks at raven in the first panel, because you can see her confusion there. everyone knows that apple and raven are best friends forever despite all their differences, and everyone knows just how much apple and raven care for each other, and how they would do anything for each other.

but i really love how this is framed because you can see darling looking at the way raven looks at apple; with so much longing, with so much sorrow, so much hurt, and so much love, and you can just see it click for her in the next panel.

the way she's questioning it at first, the way she's thinking for a second that that is not the way you would look at someone who's 'just a friend'.

and then the resignation and the sadness in the next moment, where i think darling realizes 'oh, we're both in the same boat; we're both in love with apple white'.

and i love that look of mixed pity and camaraderie; that look that shows that darling knows what raven's going through and what she's feeling (even if raven herself may not understand it right now) because she's also in love with apple.

of course there's just plain sadness because she feels bad for raven, whose best friend is currently in her magical coma, and it makes sense why she would sympathize with raven for that.

but i personally like to see it in the light that darling's heart is torn realizing that they're both stuck here, next to the girl they love, a love that will probably remain unrequited because (at this point yk) daring's supposed to be apple's prince, and apple herself will never know about how they feel, and apple will never return either of their feelings.

to cut it short, it's darling looking at raven looking at apple and thinking "oh my god i thought i was the only gay bitch in love with apple white".

My name is HAMDI AHMED, and I'm a disabled Palestine queer. Tragically, my family's evacuation plans from Gaza were thwarted by the loss of my father, our breadwinner, during the genocide. Recently, my mother fell victim to an airstrike in Deir Al-Balah, leaving me without a home. With no income and relying on the kindness of friends, I urgently need to evacuate to Egypt for safety. Any donation, no matter how small, would make a world of difference. Thank you for your support.

Please donate if you can!!! This is so important! Any amount helps no matter how small!

how?? just how?

I like rapple as a doomed relationship, i like rapple in a unrequited matter, I like rapple in a angsty Matter.

Simply because i love how in show and books they feed us 90% Angst and 10% fluff, I don’t ship rapple in a mutual romance because i personally think they don’t work and i find it hard to ship two characters if the feeling never feels like working in a mutual matter. BUT THATS ALSO WHY I LOVE THEM! they are so toxic, They aren’t meant for each other and it makes it so fucking angsty and delicious.

It just makes it 100% better when Apple starts crushing on her FUTURE enemy because GOD it’s evidential, it’s written everywhere, the whole “i want you to sign” vs “i don’t want to sign” is literally a metaphor of Apple wanting to be with raven while raven doesn’t want to be with her.

It just makes it better when apple has DREAMT of a future with raven, It just makes it better how Apple is always conflicted between destiny and her personal feelings when it comes down to raven but none of her other friends IT JUST MAKES IT BETTER!

And then there’s raven who Straight off gives Apple the same treatment she gives all her friends, it’s like How raven had saved Apple many of times she has done it to many of her friends as well(Mainly Maddie) add to ravens obvious liking towards dexter.

It makes it so better how every time Raven is just like “You are a great friend” APPLE IS JUST SUFFOCATING INSIDE!

UNREQUITED RAPPLE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED BY ME! BECAUSE I LOVE HOW DESPITE RAVENS FEELINGS NOT GOING AS FAR AS THAT EVEN AT THE BEGINNING SHE TREATED APPLE LIKE ANY OF HER OTHER FRIENDS!

SHE BASICALLY SAYS THAT APPLE IS SOMEONE SPECIAL TO HER!

EVEN WHEN THEY ARE BOTH SPECIAL TO EACH OTHER IN DIFFERENT LEVELS OF FEELINGS!

SRC BABY TIME

It’s Sunday and I lost my old headcanons and stuff so I gotta re-up em while I’m still in the mood…. Keep in mind NONE of this is canon and COMPLETELY stuff I’ve fantasized about, a whole bunch of people worked on this project and almost definitely have different ideas of how things play out after the epilogue 

Ruby/Weiss baby = Rhydderch. Only child, has to navigate the intense pressure of being the heir for Crescent Rose and Myrtenaster at the same time. W/R might adopt/have another kid but at that point they’d feel shitty about it because they very clearly are just trying to get another heir to ease the strain on their firstborn and that’s not what a family is supposed to be!!! But sometimes royal families be like that!! DRAMA!!!  (Also Weiss’ family spoils the fuck out of the kids) (ALSO???? THIS BABY IS A MESS OF WHITE AND RED? Ruby looks down at her newborn infant with their fucked up Greater Spirit inheritances and is just like “weiss our baby is a mess. it’s like the schnee genes and the rose genes had a fistfight on our baby.” Yang agrees. “That is the whitest baby I’ve ever seen. That baby’s skin is LITERALLY the color of bones and snow.” Weiss, in tears, “STOP TALKING ABOUT MY CHILD THIS WAY”)

Ren + Nora baby =  Have too many complicated feelings. I don’t think they want kids. (They probably adopt a bunch, if they have kids.)

Pyrrha/Ruby babies =  Aegis and Harpe! Both adopted after the chimera crisis left them orphaned.

Yang and Ruby = adopt some kids, I think named Altai and Jin and Ruyi

Ruby and Penny = no bebby

Ruby/Blake babey = CROWN! PRINCE!!!! CATBOY!!!!! KALIBURN!!!!!!!! Everyone calls him Kali for short and Weiss and Yang are Disaster Aunts who cannot control him. He has a super fast mother and another mother who can vanish into shadows, which makes him a nightmare to babysit. His first word was “Cwesent.” 

Ruby/Jaune babeys = Roland and Rhun. Twins! I imagine them both blonde with silver eyes but realistically the Rose genes are strong as fuck and they’d look more like Ruby. Roland might have one blue eye though. They have a pretty special relationship with Crescent Rose.

Any Kind Of Pairing Where Crescent Rose Somehow Severely Infects/Influences The Baby In Utero: if through a freak accident Crescent and Ruby managed to make a spirit babey, the baby would be named Ruedmorr but everyone would call them Rosebud because they spontaneously generated from a giant stone rosebud that formed on the throne. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH THIS BABY. Everyone is in crisis mode because now the spirits can make their own heirs??? somehow???? Crescent is just like Don’t look at me, I don’t know how I did this either

You can tell Shuro can’t actually handle Falin bc the moment he heard about the black magic he threw a fit. Like oh, you wouldn’t throw away your soul to bring her back? You wouldn’t commit unspeakable atrocities for her? Grow up.

Meanwhile, as soon as Falin is revived and hears they’ve been eating monsters, she wants to join. And Marcille is like, so unsurprised. You think Shuro could handle that? No. Leave the heavy lifting to the lesbians 🙄 you don’t have what it takes.
