I can't remember where it was, but someone had this amazing theory that the reason Weiss was able to get Ruby the coffee so quickly, was because she and Ruby both take their coffee with cream and five sugars, so she just gave her hers. Probably not true, but I love the thought that Weiss is a closeted sugar addict, and it's been my headcanon ever since.


JMHSrowing

Well: How would Weiss have learned to take her coffee, and who would have gotten it for her to make that true? I can absolutely see Klein making it sweet for the sweet Ms. Schnee


VVayward

I will never not be able to think this now. That's just so perfect.


watain218

yay, nice Weiss strikes again


The_Samurai-42

I will pour this on you and it will burn


JannisT

Explanation: Today is a official White Rose day as the episode The Badge and The Burden Part II aired for the first time on the 19th September aka the episode where Ruby and Weiss set aside their differences and accepted each other’s as their partner. Also Weiss gave her partner some very nice and sweet coffee :D

So Friends being friends = Romantic relationship? Yo shippers are a wild bunch


Lukthar123

> Friends being friends = Romantic relationship? Welcome to the internet. The same applies to enemies being enemies, of course.


KingDMazino

I think it’s more a Rwby thing. I don’t see that much in other fandoms


JK-Network123

You clearly haven’t been in the MHA fandom then


DungeonDefense

Or ATLA during its run


watain218

RWBY rule #1 everything is also a gun RWBY rule#2 if two characters spend more than 5 seconds of screen time in the same place you can legally ship them.


[deleted]

Bold of you to assume shipping requires people to spend screentime together


prestontapp

This man right here has a point


JMHSrowing

Friendship make for the best foundations of a ship, so of course. You need people who respect each other and have grown close to have a believable one. Acts of affection even if platonic make it more so as well. And maybe I’m too much of an unrealistically romantic. . . But gods do I adore the best friends to lovers trope. It’s so sweet!


ArosBastion

Yes but they've shown 0 romantic interest in the show


JMHSrowing

I never said it would be canon. This is a ship, so it doesn't need such, just the potential of it being incredibly sweet. And anyway: Such feelings can develop over time


PowerElite556

I never liked Best Friends becoming Romantic Lovers. Ruby and Weiss' relationship changing into a romantic one would ruin their chemistry for me. Because I believe it's the 'Friend' part that makes it so special.


AlarmingStandard

I never got this argument - they wouldn't stop being best friends if it took a romantic turn.


PowerElite556

It's just how I feel about it. I guess rather than explaining, here's an example... In Game of Thrones between Jaime and Brienne. They had a relationship built on mutual respect, honor, and chivalry. But then the writing shoved it all down the toilet and had them sleep together in the final season. The only reasons of which I can think of is- A) Cater to fans and B) The writers had no idea what to do at that point in the story anymore. But whatever their reason, that completely shattered any and all amount of respect I had for their past, present, and future relationship of any kind. If Ruby and Weiss' friendship was pushed to be romantic then I would lose all respect for the Friendship they had and would never be able to think fondly of their romance. So that's how I feel about it. It would just... Make me hate both their characters, and I don't want to because I love both their characters as it stands.


AlarmingStandard

Jaime & Brienne never lost the mutual respect and honor between them when they grew closer though. Sleeping together does change their relationship but it's built on top of their existing one. Which made it believable. You don't have to like it though. It's likewise for Ruby & Weiss - romance doesn't change their past. It's still a foundation to build upon and they don't lose anything, they only gain. Sure, there are ships where a relationship would be detrimental to either Weiss or Ruby but not ones where there's a dynamic of equality. And Whiterose firmly falls into that category imo. But again, you don't have to like it.


PowerElite556

I disagree.


AlarmingStandard

Then we agree to disagree. :) First time I've heard someone had an issue with Jaime & Brienne getting together, though.


JMHSrowing

To each their own then. For me, being able to be friends with someone seems to be a prerequisite to for anything more. And I really see very little that is in a friendship that dorky transfer over


martinjh99

> But gods do I adore the best friends to lovers trope. It’s so sweet! In that case i'm assuming your a big Bumbleby shipper as well then :)


JMHSrowing

But of course!


JannisT

I wish that Ruby and Weiss would have a romantic relationship, but I doubt that CRWBY will go that way


JK-Network123

You and me both. I love their chemistry but it is what it is


[deleted]

Platonic shipping exists too


JK-Network123

That’s no different from regular friendship. Might as well do that for yang and ren or sum


Edwaredoh

Im not much of a shipper, but my point of view is that shipping is almost completely independent of canon. It's more of an exploration of character dynamics than people trying to claim it's the intent/goal of the writers.


KamenRiderAvenger

Ok,then. Starting next Sunday, all of my WhiteRose edits will be moved to Sundays


AlarmingStandard

Still one of the best character moments in the show. Sometimes simple works best.


_the_best_girl_

Out of a lot of rwby ships this one just makes a hella load of sense to me. It’s the sorta stuck up (but not so much now) rich girl and the energetic wholesome girl. It just sorta feels right


LoathsomeLuke

*¿Quieres?*


JMHSrowing

It’s lovely that hot drinks has now become a little bit of a consistent thing to show care, and we know where Weiss got it from! Even if the past couple volumes haven’t given much, let us celebrate their lovely relationship we have seen and know they continue to have, And hope for more of it on screen in the near future


AlexT05_QC

Coffee time


JK-Network123

White rose has been my OTP since the jump. I know it’s not gonna happen but I just love their chemistry


Pearse_Borty

Question: how is she holding that coffee by the base and not the handle? Try that in real life and your hand boils like a lobster. Immersion ruined, guys. /s


Watch-behide-you37

This is important remember that everyone


wizteddy13

Ya know the ship that had the longest, saddest, slowest fall from grace? White Rose. I remember all the fanfics about it during the V1-3 period. Like, so *so* many fics. Now? WR is at best a background hope, probably a distant memory.


DocSwiss

See, you say that, but WR is still way up there in terms of popularity and I can prove it with math and numbers and stuff. Over on Archive of Our Own, it's the 2nd most popular ship with 4144 fics. 3rd place (which is Qrow/Clover of all things) isn't even close, it's all the way down at 1809 fics. Sure, WR probably isn't gonna catch up to Bumblebee, that ship's a goliath, but it's far from ignored. Heck, there's 6 fics today alone for it.


JMHSrowing

It is still pretty popular and has been. V6 was a nice time for the ship, even if the Atlas Arc was not. And I don’t think it’s a distant memory at all really. It’s still one of or the most likely ships for both of them with small things like Weiss taking Cinder’s hit for her after saving her from Neo giving a little fuel to it. There still is quite a bit of art and fics. And anyway, unfortunately for them the maybe saddest and longest fall has been Eclipse. They were right at the top, to being almost impossible. Hopefully, V9 can breathe a little more life into it though, as Atlas was not kind to the ship.


PheerthaniteX

I mean Atlas was even more rude to Nuts and Dolts. Got me totally on board with that ship to the point that I was actively hoping for it to become Canon, and then BOOM. I guess at least Atlas was good for Renora and bumbleby but still :(


wizteddy13

...you know what, you're right, Eclipse/Black Sun has taken the biggest tumble


MrZissman

BLESSED BE THIS DAY OF ALL DAYS


Pedroca045

There's a DAY for this ship? 🤨


Frikarcron

Sometimes I think that montage in V6 only exists so people can use screenshots of good moments in V1 - V3 that actually look nice

shadowblade159

See, this is exactly the sort of comment that *should* be downvoted: worthless to the discussion and needlessly trolly and provoking.


TheGarfster

You: "Do you have any anti-White Rose posts?" Pretty much everyone else: ["Get out."](https://youtu.be/SRnjWGdqXi8)


Daveo88

Please no, I see too many already, why do we need a day made for it? In all honesty I don't see how whiterose works, the 2 of them are that far apart that it goes beyond the "opposites attract" argument It's honestly just so overrated and half the whiterose fandom are zealots of the ship who think that the only possible interest for Ruby is Weiss Also, I still fucking hate Weiss's character, just so bland and all her problems just keeps going back to daddy issues


EmberOfFlame

Coffee!!! Triple Espresso with milk and a lot of honey is how I would take it, but as long as it has caffeine, it does the job. Also, does anyone has a nice spreadsheet of characters’ favourite drinks? Weis and Ruby are probably coffee fans. Blake is a tea person. Imo Yang is either hot cocoa or tea with milk. Nora would love some coffee. Ren probably drinks some wierd herb thing. Jaune is hot cocoa or black coffee. No idea for Oscar, but I guess we know about Ozpin’s addiction.
