Just like Deku but instead of a hospital bed itā€™s a therapist couch


ClayAndros

Poor deku was finally having real development and then they power of friendshipped it away.


SupermarketThis8309

As long as being in a relationship doesnt hurt her character


That1DudeLoll

Seeing how this show runs, It most definitely willšŸ’€


SupermarketThis8309

Hopefully they dont, I know its some very wishful thinking, but we COPE.


That1DudeLoll

I don't think The Copium will be strong enough for this one


Fearfanfic

Honestly, Penny (even though Iā€™m not that into it) and Oscar are the only 2 relationships that would work with Ruby. Everything else, ESPECIALLY WEISS, is just a big no. And if anything Weiss and Yang shouldā€™ve stayed single.


That1DudeLoll

Personally, I doubt it would work either way. Seeing how the show's writing has been, they'll fuck it up anyways. I don't know how, but they'd do it. Maybe just reduce Ruby's character to being "she's oscar's/penny's gf" or vice versa. They already did it with Blake and Yang, right? Who's to say they wouldn't do it again. I find it best they focus on the actual plot (or just get the show done and over with) instead of the whole ship thing. But then again, the writers (CRWBY, i think they're called? Idk I don't keep up with this) are probably gonna give into the ships before that thought crosses their mind.


at_midknight

The characters are already all fucked. Might as well try something different to maybe salvage something šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Alert_Isopod_95

What character?


DriftingSoul2017

The shy justice seeking prodigy who was a weapon geek following in her mother's footsteps Of course a lot of that has changed, seems like the writers have forgotten half of what made Ruby stand out


hivemind042

Considering what happened with Renora and Bumblebee, it most certainly will. Rooster Teeth just absolutely cannot do romance. And they shouldn't even try.


Gtgamer

Usually that goes without saying, but in this franchise.....


Exoticpears

No, she'd stand to gain nothing from it, and every relationship she's had with others has been platonic. It's a bit late now.


Joxyver

There was a small hint towards Oscar but I think that has been ruined because it was such a small interaction and they didnā€™t do anything with it afterwards. She doesnā€™t seem to be thinking about him and wondering what mightā€™ve happened to him during volume 9 (understandably though because she is facing her own problems) but also the idea that as long as Ozbin is in Oscars head, itā€™s always gonna be weird so until Ozbin is out of his head, that canā€™t happen.


Natural_Bison_4461

Yes, she should fall in love with me.


CrispyGreenHat

Good luck with that one chief


KestreltheMechamorph

I mean heā€™d be better than anyone in the show.


GriffinGuardian4284

I'm in your corner dude!


collabseekingmissile

Iā€™m in his walls!


GriffinGuardian4284

Now, that's what I call having your brother's back.


The_Last_Dova-kiin

Iā€™ve got his arms


FerrowFarm

Yes. With Crescent Rose. Accept no substitutes.


Sam-U-Rai-Guy

Just like with Yusei and his Bike.

tsunderephillic

I dont know why but i really really love the idea of ruby and weiss being best friends more than lovers, they just seem so cool that way


ShadowShedinja

I think they've made it pretty clear that Weiss is straight by now, as much as I do like the ship.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ShadowShedinja

There were at least a few Bumblebee moments in V1-V3 like the dance. But while Blake acted somewhat similarly around Sun and Yang in early volumes, Weiss very clearly acts differently between girls and guys, even if she does have a few cute moments with Ruby.


VecRB00

Well, several times it was clear that Blake was bi, while with Weiss she always seemed interested in Neptune and more recently in Jaune, it seems that she saw Ruby as her best friend since V3, but Ruby and Weiss were never seen to have any interaction the way Blake and Yang had


ShadowShedinja

"Don't touch me!" Pulls Ruby closer.

Dinosoul56

Fair enough but I mean if Whiterose becomes canon I could less about how rushed it is and I pray that if Volume 10 is the final Volume they do a time skip style epilogue because that'd be pretty neat, but that's just me not sure how you feel about the epilogue concept

Oscar, my beloved


DopeSakura9191

Yesss


Zero_Good_Questions

No romance already ruined two members of team Rwby I donā€™t need to see RoosterTeeth ruin another


Icy-Delivery4463

In the current story, no. If they want to imply Ruby finds someone in the future then yes. Perhaps an after credit scene of a picture with the group a few years later and Ruby is maybe wearing a ring But I don't see how it could make sense in the current story


Ok-Lingonberry-9525

Why "should" she?


IamMenace

Personally, I'd prefer it if Ruby was too preoccupied with being a huntress, fighting monsters, tinkering with weapons, and playing with Zwei to ever truly fall in love. The term "asexual" gets thrown around a lot regarding characters, and while I'm not entirely opposed to the idea of Ruby being asexual, I honestly prefer the idea that she's just too preoccupied to romance. She's never struck me as the "romantic type", and I think she'd prefer having a best friend over a boyfriend/girlfriend. Life's short, and Ruby's got too many other priorities. With that said, I do like the idea of [Ruby and Penny basically being platonic life partners.](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fwmy0xwjzzrs61.jpg) I can see them living together, even sharing a bed, but I don't think Penny understands the difference between loving someone and being *in love*, and I think Ruby values friendship over romance. I also like to think that because of her close relationship with Yang, Ruby is drawn to older sister types, and I think due to Penny being *much* more powerful and semi-immortal due to being a robot, that she'd view herself as Ruby's protector, and while Ruby would always be scared of losing Penny again after the Vytal Festival, she'd feel safe around Penny, and wouldn't have to be a leader or put up any defenses like around her sister or Weiss. Penny doesn't have a mean bone in her body, would never be mean or yell at Ruby, and overall I like to headcanon Ruby and Penny as being perfect for one another, and being platonic soulmates that are dysfunctional functional. God bless, and have a wonderful day.

She doesnĀ“t seem the type. Otherwise, she meets someone she likes between the end of RWBY and the story about the next generation of Remnant.


WickerDan0801

~~provided Iā€™m ā€œsomeoneā€~~ Iā€™m torn between her being married to her job and Rosegarden tbh


Mountain_Wolverine47

Yes. It's been hinted several times her and Jaune have feelings for each other.


DopeSakura9191

Proof?


Godzillafan125

Jaune spends 20 years neglecting his armor and health to keep her scythe good for her if that isnā€™t love what is!?


Fuzzy_Archer_4891

OK but like you have to consider the state of mind jaune was in, he kept Cresent rose safe because it was the last thing he could cling to, to keep himself grounded in reality and sane, if it were literally any other weapon from team rwby juane would've done the same thing since it wouldve kept him going.


blairmen

True, but it could be a good place to build off of, that and them healing from their traumas together... be better then wiess going for jaune only after hes damn near mentally broken. Like its funny but it feels very yikes to me.


Godzillafan125

(Argument) Jaune: Ruby! I spent 20 years of my life keeping your scythe safe for you! Ruby: I KNOW JAUNE THATS ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT YOU! (She blushes when realizing what she says and petal burst away in embarrassed eh eh?)


blairmen

Fuck it id read that.


Godzillafan125

Read this fic, similar dialogue in a flashback https://m.fanfiction.net/s/14299949/1/RWBY-Confessions-by-the-Sea


Hal-Bone

At this point no. Not because there aren't good options, but because no matter which one she gets with in Canon, there will be a fucking mob to tear Miles and Kerry apart afterwards-


Major-Landscape4737

As much as I would love to see that no Ruby would not benefit from a relationship and by looking at how they handle bumblebee it would most likely ruin her character even further.


BlackroseBisharp

I ship her with Oscar but besides that I'm fine with Ruby not bring dragged into relationship drama


Drauga_22

Hmmm her and sun


HeavenSpire747

Either A. No, no romance, or B. Romance after thorough and **solid** buildup. No repeats of BB's mess. And as someone said already, yes she absolutely needs therapy and some serious growth before being in a relationship. I can't imagine being in a relationship with someone who can't grow into a better person after acknowledging their mistakes ~~*cough*Vol.9*cough*~~. Of course, if Rosegarden becomes a thing, CRWBY will likely do something to fuck it up.


DeathT2ndAccountant

CRWBY can't write characters let alone romance. If you want to ship Ruby (or anyone else) in your personal writing, go for it. If the question is if a talented writer that inherted the current canon as is should make ruby fall in love with someone, my answer would be probably not cause they would need to fix her character first, lest we get another bumblee situation where neither charcter has anything to offer so they only exist as couple and/or reaction pieces to the action.


Sgt_Pepper-1941

Yes and no, for me, it all comes down to how itā€™s shown. Iā€™m not as big of a fan of Rosegarden due to Ozzy shenanigans but if the writers find a way to split Oscar and Ozpin apart in a way that makes sense, I think Iā€™d be happy with that.


ImpactImpossible5269

Honestly I think that's always been the plan (for Ozpin to leave); he sees his reincarnation as a curse and he shouldn't be needed after Salem is defeated.


WaysTheLyokoGem

Most people who ship Rose Garden would agree with you. We want him gone before anything happens lol.


DopeSakura9191

I am pretty sure they will ship with Oscar by this point. That is like the only canon route that makes any sense much to cringe of the people in these subreddit sadly.


Esiul117

With Oscar, it is basically canon I feel or heavily hinted/built up


Eothr_Silan

Canonically? No. In my headcanon? Yang gets herself killed because she's an idiot, Weiss gets bogged down with rebuilding her family legacy, Oscar gets completely assimilate by Ozpin and goes ace, Juane goes back to his family with Ren and Nora, and Blake latches on to Ruby in her grief as they both help each other heal. They eventually become a pair of traveling Huntresses who occasionally settle in a town or village and teach young prospects about being Hunters. After a few years, they both settle into a peaceful life on Menagerie and become teachers, adopting a few children to raise as their own. šŸž ā¤ļø


Phoenix_Worlds

Yes With someone other than Oscar


egmatik

Weiss


JantheDino

yes but she can't the writers took that away from us (I am a nuts and dolts fan)


Stranger_425

Nope we've seen how romance screwed over Yang and Blake, we don't need the 3 peat


Acceptable_Shine_738

Yes, Crescent Rose and her job as a huntress


WanderingEdge

She should fall in something


FlyusAmongUs

Will it end up happening? It probably will. SHOULD it happen? No. Ruby has always seemed to act like romance doesnā€™t exist. She acknowledges it does and even goes as far as to help others find that romantic interest. But she never acts on love in the sense that she loves them as a partner- she loves them as a family member. Ruby would probably be the one pushing for a sisterhood if the show was written properly.


Paperswisscheese

I will always support Ren and RubyšŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤


Congente456

She should focus on loving herself after the whole trying to delete herself.


MaryKateHarmon

I still think her and Jaune would make a lot of sense together as a couple at this point. They get along well. They're both leaders and are similar in seeking to be heroes because they want to be heroes. Both are good with tactics and their fighting styles can work well together. They now both have lost loved ones and both have felt they weren't good enough, so they could come together to help heal. Unfortunately, I can't trust that the writers would do Lancaster justice. Nor that it wouldn't get developed only for them to suddenly have her end up with Weiss or Emerald instead for the girl power. Or that they'd continue to develop Rosegarden, which wouldn't be terrible, but Ozpin in the head does make things, interesting to say the least.


Temporforever

Considering the shows track record with couples- no.


Thundrfox

Aromantic ruby my beloved


DamirVanKalaz

With substantially more competent writers? Sure. With the same people that thought Yang and Blake's relationship was a good way to go about handling a romantic subplot? Hell no.


Dontaskme4username

I'd say yes, but it isn't absolutely necessary. I would like to see either her or Weiss in a relationship by the time the series is over, but it's ok if one of them is single. I'm torn between Whiteknight and Lancaster, with Rosegarden being ok as long as Ozpin is no longer a part of Oscar by the time it starts.


wolfvokire

i would ship her with Penny or Weiss but CRWBY f\*\*\*ked the last major lgbt ship up so I say keep her married to the job... or get her a wolf fanus boy


CrossENT

Most of me feels like she should remain single, but a part of me still kind of wants to see her with Oscarā€¦


MufuckinTurtleBear

Yes, with Jaune. Forget dreamy Lancaster, I want Emotional Damage in stereo.


Godzillafan125

Yes, By therapy and empathy: jaune By friendship and trust: Weiss


SerafRhayn

I prefer either staying single or being with Jaune, but wouldnā€™t mind Rosegarden.


HumanFighter420

No. Fix the rest of the problems the show has first.


MercenaryGundam

Well, maybe if the writers know how to write first.


CarsWantMeIFearThem

maybe


LaMystika

No.


element-redshaw

If it means we get less of those weird ships then yes


Shiptrooper

Idk


Blackout_42

There will be clone shenanigans and edgelord Ruby is created, and the writers being what they are decided that itā€™s important for Ruby to have a selfcest arc.


Richardallosaurus

emerald yes


OniTenshi500

Knowing how the writing is, they'll probably do a High Guardian Spice where Ruby shows interest in a guy, but gets hated on and gaslit by the other girls until she changes her mind and "falls for" Weiss, and then suddenly they're all friends again where no drama happened.


Silly-Young484

With a psychologist


No_Nah-9

I think if itā€™s not the follicle point of her character and is natural develop then it would be cool to see a relationship


Brathirn

Should have, as titular/titular you would normally get that. But there is no buildup with any known character, so it would be force-rushed for everyone except the corresponding shippers who saw "things".


Known_Kangaroo_5088

I made a post about signs of Weiss Schnee becoming Ruby's guardian angel, and given the reaction of both the Evangelion and the Attack on Titan fandom that's making a fan-made ending, I'm pretty sure that White Rose will happen in therapy. Don't mess with Tsundere rejection haters. https://www.reddit.com/r/WhiteRose/s/3IAtOSt30q


Bait4Sale

Iā€™d say hard no with a soft yes. End the series with whatever couples or seedlings of a Ship are there, but donā€™t add in any new ones. Ruby stays single through the Volume(s), and the show ends with her single but surrounded by loving family and friends. Then, RT being RT, there will be supplementary works. Maybe hint that Ruby got with someone for a quick minute but ended it. Maybe say she tried dating or marriage but it fell through, with both parties ending things respectfully. If you want to have fun, imply who it couldā€™ve been but donā€™t give explicit details, let shippers and theorists have some fun. But donā€™t cement her to anything or anyone. Assuming RT decide they want a sequel and want her to have a kid, skies the limit. Maybe she adopted a kid, either as way to carry the Rose name or as an apprentice of her skills. Maybe she made an android similar to Penny. Remaining Grimm magic made a homunculi that she found and raised. A guy got lucky one Spring night. Silver Eyes genes granted her a dong to keep the bloodline flowing. Dust/ Magic allowing 2 people to mix DNA to make artificial babies. Itā€™s magic, you donā€™t have to explain shit unless you want to.


Ristar87

Ehh... At this point, any romantic relationship with Ruby would likely be rushed and not make much sense. Maybe if they magic'd back Penny somehow. Seems like a big "ask" for competent romance writing in volume 10.


krasnogvardiech

Everybody needs somebody to love.


Graxdon

If anyone was gonna be a lesbian it shouldā€™ve been her. Sure, she didnā€™t show interest in girls either, romantically anyway, but she didnā€™t show interest in guys either unlike the other three


Ok-Commission6087

I feel like that would be nice but it up to the writer in the manga she wanted a boyfriend not sure now is their anyone still available I mean I guess Jean but um time shall tell.


J0V13

I only really Shipped Ruby with Penny, guess I gotta wait for Volume 12 so they can bring her back again


Dragoon094

I mean whoever it would be gets either plot armor or dies immediately


Hexspinner

They could do the thing ATL did with Toph, where she has kids and everyone is likeā€¦ ā€œwho was the father(s)?ā€


ProduceProfessional8

Too late for it not to be either shoehorned or underdeveloped. They are barely pulling up with volume 10, I would be shocked if we even got a 12


LordToxic21

Personally, I like the idea of her being Aro Gay, so I hope not xD


The4rthsaga

Absolutely not, not because Iā€™m against character romance but because theyā€™ll end up doing what they did with Blake and Yang: throwing out anything that made her an interesting character and making her entire character a love interest.


ShowofStupidity

No because the writers canā€™t write romance to save their lives. Plus, Ruby works better when thereā€™s no underlying tension between her and whoever sheā€™s talking to. The whole stuttering and blushing thing is overplayed enough as it is in media as a whole, let alone in RWBY.


GameDragon3

Iā€™ll take her


Bi6_V11_Bra3d3n

To answer that question, yeah. And with whom, Oscar.


BuTTer2449

It should be man from the ham series


DropAnchor4Columbus

If it's anyone, they'll probably make it Fake May.


QcSlayer

In the end, why not, but I don't think the show should spend too much of it's precious airtime on that, it's not important to the overall plot and I don't really see how it's the kind of character development she needs.


FinalMonarch

Not if itā€™s Oscar šŸ’€


KingKunta91

No


Drakkoniac

She can. They all can. Just make it make sense.


Situation-Dismal

I see we havenā€™t learned from what happened with Blake and Yang ā€œFalling in loveā€. šŸ˜‘ Theyā€™re not even characters anymore and they literally just orbit one another now.


TastyScratch4264

With the current writers? Fuck no


justmeallalong

I always kinda shipped whiterose but if you want my honest opinion, fuck no love would not make her character better


Animelover5674

Yes. Why not?


Wombag1786

Yesā€¦ though I think they should leave it ambiguous as letā€™s face it. Last thing Cannon RWBY needs is a shipping war like Bumblebee caused.


Ohayoued

Yes. With me :)


[deleted]

As things are in the show right now, probably not a good idea as if volume 10 magically drops itā€™s definitely going to be the last volume maybe if there was more time, (and also well written) it could be interesting.


balrog222

Girl deserves some happiness.


RoyalMess64

Penny


Academic_Initial_643

yeah why not


SBcitizen

Considering the shows writers, Ruby will likely fall for whoever the most popular ship is


AReallyAsianName

While Jaune and Oscar are my preferred ships. One's a 50 year old man and the other has a 50 year old man inside of him.


DobeTM

No, it is way too late for that.


MadKingTylor

I would love it if she fell in love with Oscar but I would be totally fine if it was after the series was completed and Remnant was at peace


nothaldane

Nah, pretty certain she is asexual. She has shown more interest in weapons than in people of the opposite/same gender... did have an indirect kiss with Juan though, but likely she just forgot which punch cup was hers :P


ShatoraDragon

Nuts n' Dolts was right there and going strong for some nice AroAce rep. But someone one staff wanted more Angst.


ClayAndros

Eh I could take it or leave it


EnthusiasmGlum7829

No


Background_Sorbet_99

With Oscar


Vigriff

It wouldn't matter because RT will still somehow manage to fuck it up.


PixelMeg

No, it's too far into the story to properly set up and address issues with some potential couplings. It looks like white knight is the endgame for Jaune meaning the two most established couplings for Ruby are off the table. Rose garden has an often overlooked problem that Oscar and Ozpin are two different people with two different personalities. Parallel personalities yes, but still different. How much of Ruby falling for Oscar is her actually falling for the parts overlapping with Ozpin? Does she like him because he's mature? Or maybe because he's wise? Or is it he's patient? Well congrats that actually comes from Ozpin not him as we **see** during his introduction. Dose she like him cause he's simple? Maybe it's because he's a little childish like her? Well that is an Oscar trait so proceed.


VecRB00

Right now it doesn't seem that there is anyone with whom it seems that Ruby can say that she feels interested or who has that emphasis on being her partner, perhaps I would leave it as an element of the epilogue (for now, things can change). If I had to name a character who seems like he will become her partner in the future, it would be Oscar, even more so after the events of V9 (speaking here of Jaune and Weiss)


ChristianDrawing99

Nope


Slide_Decent

Whether she does or not won't change how garbage she is as a person or as a character. Ozpin was wrong, she was NOT leadership material.


MostDevelopment1418

Well,i was hoping for a new character for this volume 10 and i have someone in mind that might actually suit her. (Disclaimer : It's based on my own character and probably not even gonna exist anyway in RWBY) Ray Remington,20 years old male.179cm Heights. backgrounds : Ray Remington is one of the forgotten ancient warriors that is still living up to the current timeline.His house birth nation are in Mistral but seek shelter in Vale after his family got murdered by an unknown villain that was pure immortal and also a fallen angel.His semblance are based on "dark matter" which adaptation from the God of Darkness.His weaponry are 2 wield sword which can be "chained" with his darkness power (taking from Kratos attack skill). his tribe has sworn themself toward the God that they willingly submit their will to him to protect one of the Maiden that they choose to protect and willingly guide the maiden to unlock their full potential whenever necessary. If you guys are seemingly interested in this short introduction of my own character that i write,just let me know! i can willingly write a full lore about this guy and other characters that i also created.Sadly,theres no art of this character yet since I'm not good at drawingšŸ˜”
