I love them so much

Hey everyone, I just needed a place to gush about this ship because it has done something to my brain that no other piece of media ever has.

For some context, I've never been to big on shipping culture. Outside of a few character dynamics that I really like I've never really had serious investment in fictional character relationships in other anime shows or games.

But putting these two together? The chemistry and the dynamic changed me.

There is something so alluring about this ship. Their dynamic leads to so many interactions that are over-the-top cute. Not even accounting for the aesthetic appeal of their design contrast, something about these 2 being in love just hits me. Ruby brings out the best parts of Weiss and Weiss brings out the best parts of Ruby. Maybe the parts that the characters don't share with anyone else but each other.

Just for the record, I'm not personally attracted to either of them aside from the fact that they are aesthetically cute. It's almost like I'm crushing on the ship and not the characters.

And yeah, it's really the cute factor that hits for me. I feel like as an outsider to shipping culture, I've always viewed things like fanfic to be sexual in nature, but that's not at all the case with the WR content I've been finding and recently seeking out. And it's like I want them to stay pure in that regard. That said I love some playful innuendos and heavy flirtation, but keep the more, let's say intimate, parts simply implied.

Honestly I'm so in love with this ship that if Weiss canonically ends up with Jaune or anyone other than Ruby I will be outraged. Even though I think Ruby is too in love with the plot for a relationship in the show, but I digress.

Anyway, I just wanted to gush about this ship. Anyone else start out mostly indifferent to shipping until WhiteRose (lovingly) ruined them?

I wanna see more white rose combo attacks in the future

The ice flower combo is really the only one they have which is a shame because their combat styles and semblances actually compliment each other quite well and I feel like after the time skip and Weiss awakening her summoning that she could've taken that experience to teach Ruby how to power up her own semblance so that they could do more combos together.

For example Weiss casts the haste glyph on Ruby and applies a heat glyph to her scythe blade.

Then we could have a revamp of their original ice flower combo but instead of ice flower we could do Fire flower, thunder flower, etc etc.

A new attack I like to call Winter Garden where Weiss casts gylphs across the ground and each act like an acceleration pad(think dash pads from Sonic games) and so then Weiss and Ruby can zip, skate and dash along the various gylphs getting exponentially faster the more glyphs they dash across.

Another new attack that involves Weiss' summons that I call Astral Rose. Where Weiss coats Ruby in the arma gigas armor and Ruby for a moment uses the knights sword in combo with her own semblance.

Then we have an attack that involves both Weiss' summons and Ruby's silver eyes though this combo can only be used when they are fighting the Grimm. By combining ice dust with the sword of her knight she created a highly reflective surface for Ruby to shine the light of her eyes off of. This attack is called Knight Light.

Lastly an attack called Winter Thorn, where Ruby grabs Weiss using her semblance and launches them forward at high speed and Weiss accelerates them faster using haste, turning them into a swirling death spiral coming at you at mach 5.

How strong would a fusion between Ruby and Weiss be? Art by Dishwasher1910

Ruby's speed, Weiss' glyphs and their combined battle IQ/instinct; a fusion like this would be insanely powerful especially if somehow this also gave her silver eyes an amp which I believe it would.

Quite frankly I think this character is easily maiden level depending how you scale her semblance and combat abilities.

Her weapons being a Halberd/scythe that has the same element chamber system as Weiss' rapier is perfect in my opinion.

Ruby & Weiss vs Neo & Emerald would've been an amazing match up

When you stop and think about it Neo and Emerald's semblances in combination are BUSTED and would make for a very good challenge for Weiss and Ruby.

Just imagine the kind of messed up illusions Neo and Emerald would've made to throw them off.

Where would this fight have happened? I would like to think vol 8 and you could even use this fight to foreshadow Emerald changing sides though PERSONALLY I would've kept her evil but that's just me.

Either way this would've been a fun team fight but what do y'all think?

I read Through the Flames by Mikotyzini, and I need to talk about it

Mikotyzini is and always has been and always will be my favorite fanfic writer. Rush was my first introduction to WhiteRose, and quickly made it my favorite ship. Flashing Lights and Diva are also among the best I've read and just reinforced that love.

But Through the Flames is something else. I didn't expect anything to beat what I've read, but this story is legitimately among the straight up best fiction I've ever read. The emotion that comes though this writing is beyond words, it shakes me to my core and has left me breathless. The romance, the angst, the ups, the downs, the rollercoaster it's taken me on. The dichotomy of feel-good and tragedy is masterful. I've been more emotionally invested in this fic than I thought I could be in fanfiction.

Anyway, I just need to gush about this fic, it is unbelievable, it will make you love WhiteRose even more. I highly recommend you dop everything and read this story, it will change your life.

I'm so happy and thankful for Mikotyzini for sparking my love of our two dorks and indirectly introducing me to this wonderful community.
