As promised... Here is my RWBY Enneagram chat !

Here are close-ups for the text (can be hard to read on tumblr)

If you're not an avid typologist you might ask... What IS Enneagram ? And it is my duty to at least quickly introduce you to the concept & not just dump this chart on you :D

For an extensive reading of each type, you can check out this link

And for a quick overview : Enneagram is a typology system (like MBTI or Socionics). It can be a pretty helpful tool, because its focus lies on WHY you act the way you do : discussing the coping mechanism that built themselves out of your childhood struggles/traumas (big & small).

Enneagram is about your core fears, motivations, and how you relate to 3 main emotions (fear, anger & shame). There are 9 types, divided in 3 groups for each emotion & distinguishing 3 main ways to react to them.

Head types deal with Fear

Heart types deal with Shame

Gut types deal with Anger

And the three main ways Enneagram describes to deal with these emotions are : Embrace, Dissociate and Deny.

If I use the Gut types as an example :

Type 1 DISSOCIATE and detach themselves from their anger. They're aware that they're frustrated & angry, but resist this emotion because they want to rationalize it, and only share anger when they feel it is deserved. Their frustration eventually leaks out, and 1s become overly critical. By keeping their emotions and expressions on such a tight leash, 1s grow frustrated and appear as controlled & rigid individuals.

Type 9 DENY and avoid their anger. They numb it until they can barely recognize that they're angry at all. They dumb down or run away from pain & confrontation, in search for simple and painless solutions. Anger has never done anything for them, so they don't feel as though it is worth losing so much energy over. Since they tend to avoid conflict, 9s appear complacent and agreeable.

Type 8 EMBRACE and control their anger. They accept it as part of who they are, and don't care to tone it down for the sake of others. Infused with their anger, they become tough & assertive, chasing away vulnerability and those who would try to control them. Anger protects them, and they use it as a tool. Because they refuse to show weakness and see no reason to bend for others, 8s appear agressive and confrontational.

The same gymnastic happens for the Head or Heart types, but with their respective emotions. Technically, as the 3 groups each deal with different emotions; anyone trying to use enneagram to analyze their own behaviour should also be able to find 3 types (one in each group) they're able to relate to ! Together they make up your tritype :)

There is of course a lot more to enneagram that I woud love to delve into (such as the triads, which are another way to look at the types repartition and what aspects they have in common) but this is the gist of it ! If you're interested or have any questions, you can check out more links at the end (and the Amino community I'm in) oooor just ask me questions !! I'll always be happy to help or answer

Tests do exist like for any personnality theory BUT I happen to know & think they suck; because no one knows & understands you as well as yourself. You can check out answer in an online test, but you can't tell him WHY you chose that answer, and the why is what matters most in Enneagram. So... If that's your kind of thing, just slowly gets to know the theory and yourself. There is NEVER any rush.

Good evening to you all ! *bows*

What to do when things go wrong (Tm)

Hello everyone, I'm back on my bullshit

Let's all be grateful that Weiss & Jaune aren't too busy panicking or blaming themselves to make a plan. Although for Jaune, V9 might prove me wrong real quick

Oscar, Clover and Marrow are the sweet trinity of "we don't have to fight"

Emerald, Mercury and Ozpin left all emotions behind years ago :)

1/4 of the cast will apologize for their existence if you so much as spill your orange juice apparently

Some bitches love to laugh & joke (or rag someone) in the face of danger; Yang & Watts are bitches

IT'S MEME TIME COWBOYS !

Time to start a fight ⚔️

For even more characters than usual, I made one chart for the kiddos and one for the adults. Enjoy ~

It's hard to find characters who avoid fighting because they know they'll lose in a show filled with characters who KNOW how to fight

For approximatively 90% of the meme conception Oz was the only pacifist adult and if that doesn't summarize the stress he's under I don't know what will

Almost everyone is ready to throw hands at any given time in this show. Even the nice and responsible ones

Penny, Sun and Pyrrha are 100/10 friends, will have you back anytime, just wanna be included

If you wonder at any point why Ilia is here, remember she won't hesitate to break your teeth

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYONE

I took full advantage of the lack of precision each RWBY character has regarding their orientations or gender; and I made use of that fun template I found.

I'm putting the blank at the end : don't hesitate to reblog with your own headcannons. With or without the templates tbh, you can just tell me "I headcannon X as Y", that's still interesting !

This is a big mix of what I headcannon, what I can imagine best, and also just trying to complete the template in general x)

(Trans here encompass ftm, mtf or NB ! So go wild with your headcannons !)

As a bonus that I wasn't able to put here : my main headcannon for Ozpin is Agender Ozpin 🖤🤍💚 I like asexual Ozpin too but I'm really not picky and I like most content with him. Agender Ozpin is always super nice to see on the other hand ;;

Blake & May are both canon LGBTQ+, good for her ❤

Other than that I feel strongly about asexual Ren, bisexual Qrow & Pyrrha, gay Clover and bi/pan Sun ! I put the Aro/Demiromantic spots late into the making, but I'm pretty satisfied with the three I put there honestly. Weiss & Mercury here stand as Demiromantic, and Harriet as aromantic !

I have so many ideas of songs to apply to RWBY characters in one way or another, like I can picture it perfectly in an AMV, I'm imagining the lyrics with the scenes in the background...

Except I've never ever made an AMV, idk how to or what programm to use 😭 I'm coping with music posts to at least put the ideas OUT THERE instead of just letting them rot in my brain, but the yearning to just... snap my fingers & make them into AMVs is so strong

I'm putting my long list of song ideas under the cut if anyone's interested If per chance someone who sees this makes AMV, all these ideas are like... free to take just give me the link to the results if you use them 🙏 (and like, if you credit me for the idea in a corner that'd be NEAT but really not mandatory)

Yang - Piece by Piece (Kelly Clarkson) ➸ About Raven's abandonment, how Tai/Qrow made up for it, and her inconditional love for Ruby

Blake & Yang - Forgive me friend (Smith & Thell) ➸ About their fallout in V4-V5 due to their respective issues

Ruby & Yang - Trenches (Beth Crowley) ➸ About their respective Branwen relationships, Qrow & Raven, and the struggles they put them through at times (the difference between the two being that Qrow is always willing to change and do better) .

Ozpin & Ruby - Burned out (Dodie) ➸ On the concept of leadership, and the similarities between the two

Oz-carnations - I was Wrong (the Oh Hellos) ➸ About their story and mistakes, but mostly how guilty and sorry they feel about it

Blake & Ozpin - Savior (Beth Crowley) OR Don't Make Me (MALINDA) ➸ About their respective abusive relationships with Adam & Salem

Ozpin - Liar (Arcadian Wild) ➸ On Ozpin's lies, his guilt fighting his desire to appear strong and reliable. Ends with showing how RWBYJNRQ succumb to the same need to save face and hide their struggles. .

Ren - Keep you safe (Crane Wives) ➸ About Ren's struggles with risk and the fear of failure

Renora - Line without a Hook ➸ About their relationships, ups-and-down. Alternating PoV. .

Qrow - Ship in a Bottle (Steffan Argus) ➸ About Qrow's downward spiral, and how Ozpin/Clover factor into that

Adults in the RWBYverse - Human (Rag'n'Bone Man) ➸ To highlight the humanity of the adult cast. About their mistakes, and how they boil down to humanity's fallibility. My top adult pick for this one are Ozpin, Qrow, Ironwood & Raven. Then Winter probably ? And maybe others can be found. .

Sun about Blake - She wants me (to be loved) (The Happy Fits) ➸ One-sided love that realizes they won't be loved back, while acknowledging that Blake does love Sun (platonically) and wants the best for him. The most anti-incel song, 10/10

Sun & Weiss - Soap (The Oh Hellos) ➸ Sun singing to Blake and Weiss to Yang, platonic love, V4-V5 focus .

Penny & Pyrrha - If I die young (The Band Perry) ➸ About their lives, cut short. Highlight on their sacrifice and the good times

Penny - Bright Idea (Mother Mother) ➸ About the love Penny found in her life, her relationships, her growth and choices, and simply how great of a person she was. Good vibes .

Ironwood - Hunger (Monsters & Men) ➸ On his struggles & shot mental health, and his jarring behaviour in V8.

Emerald - Be my Escape (Relient K) ➸ About Emerald's doubts & subconsequent redemption, and Oscar's role in it.

Emerald - 10 feet tall (Cavetown) ➸ On the need to appear big & tough when her main goal is to find a home & family .

Salem - The Angry River (The Hat)

Mercury - The Moon will Sing (Crane Wives) ➸ A different look at Mercury's harsh persona, focused on his status as an abuse victim who feels trapped by the darkness they were raised in

Adam - This is Love (Air Traffic Controller) ➸ About his twisted personnality & abusive behaviour toward Blake

Neo - Snowcone (Rei Ami) ➸ About the duality of Neo, who is such a competent bad bitch but also so vulnerable without Roman, and still lost as to what to do with herself since his death

Okay I might have to pause this "one chart a day" thing I have going on, I'm starting an internship at the hospital & I'm not sure I'll have the time to keep going. So... Enjoy this one !

This is a hand-made template so I'm putting it at the end in case someone else wants to give it a go :D

THE WHY-s

Oscar sweetie I love you very much and you're doing great but when you're constantly dealing with your trauma offscreen I'm forced to put you in the "no emotional vulnerability" category

When you're constantly yelling at your ex & her blonde teammate about your problems and how hurt you are, I'm putting you in oversharing (yes this is about Adam. Bitch)

Mercury & Emerald : emotional vulnerability ? never heard of her. Just on slightly opposite ends of the axis

RWBY just love piling up the angst & breakdowns on their emotionally-stunted adult men am I right. Sorry about that Oz, James, Qrow.

YES YES.

THIS. SO MUCH.

The finale with Fria was so good and more than enough of a real girl confirmation 😔 It was basically magic itself telling Penny, our Penny just as she is, "yes you're a real girl."

Giving her a human body was so unnecessary and it even goes against the previous reassurances of "real girl Penny" :((

Ah I have so much to say about Penny

I love her but she deserved better

I know this meme is a LITTLE LATE but so is Penny, so

And another meme for the road !

I made myself sad with this meme bc I realized that the last box is basically just characters who learnt that disagreeing lead nowhere good and they can't win :) (headcannonish in Tai's case but I just can't see Raven concede a point to anyone in a debate) *holds gently the three* You deserve better.

For clarification :

- Cinder only avoids people who disagree with her in the sense that she kills them. - Maria ain't got time to argue with people and she doesn't care.

- JRP + O are civilized and then there's Nora - RWBY all have different ways of dealing with disagreements so I guess they're balanced in that sense at least

I established the difference between "Their opinion is as valid as mine" & "I will talk to them" in that characters in the latter are firmly convinced to be right and aim to change others' mind. Whereas characters of the former category have their opinions but don't necessarily think they're more right.

If you're looking at this and thinking "wow, biased much ?" then yes Full bias, bias intended, they're MY fav and I get to make them fill out the Valid category 😤

I don't think anyone in the show is more qualified for Chaotic Bastard than Tyrian I like James Ironwood but for legal reasons called "whatever-happened-to-you-in-Vol8" he's going here

Ozpin is smart but also a dumbass. Qrow, Vol 7 Ep 12, need I say more ?

The meme chain continues !

Some fun headcannon includes : - James Ironwood is nearly half metal, and his all of his organs aren't intact. He metabolizes slowly and is actually a lightweight because of this. Since he overworks himself a lot, drinking tends to knock him out cleanly. It's a tactic his friends use to put him to sleep when he's exhausted but refuses to stop.

- Ozpin rarely drinks around others for fear of letting slip out truths he isn't ready to share. Qrow managed to convince him sometimes, and tipsy Ozpin's would always end up sharing embarassing or unpolite anecdotes about his stuck-up political entourage or figureheads of the past.

- Marrow is the baby of the Ace-Opps and a drunk Marrow is a loose canon. There's an unspoken rule that he must be looked after at all time when they go out drinking.

- Oscar and Ren will fall on asleep on one another quickly. Nora and Yang stay up late into the night, they're up to no good and their shenanigans are demultiplied on drinking nights.

- Weiss and Jaune aren't good with alcohool. Jaune has a hard time judging when enough is enough so he often ends up laying on the ground with slight nausea. Weiss knows what to expect and thus drink very little : she prefers to take care of the more inebriated ones.

- Blake, Whitley and Emerald are constantly filmed during drinking nights bc the loss of inhibition make them surprisingly earnest & wholesome :)

.

I feel like this chart veers hard into headcannon territory, so this time I'm giving you all the clean version too ! Don't hesitate to reblog w your own interpretation and headcannons ;)

I made some renders for the sake of my memes so I'm posting them here in case anyone else can make use of it :D

Gonna make some memes for fun in the following days

Enjoy (or not and yell at me for my dubious choices)

SALUTATIONS !

Saw this on the main tag and figured it was a good way to start off my blog (even if I've already posted/reblogged a few things shh)

Hello friends ! You can call me anything from Nexyra to Nex. She and They are both fine; I'm Ace and an ISFP 2w1. As well as french ;) That's pretty much it sfsjhgfqj I created this blog mainly bc of RWBY content on Tumblr but there are many fandom I care about so there's probably gonna be other stuff later but well.

I'm mostly planning on fun posts like attributing a Love Language to characters, typing them (Enneagram & MBTI are my jam) and also music posts kind of (lyrics + gif) ! Here's a fun jar of RWBY I saw in the main tag. Good way to show who my faves are and what you should expect from this blog haha

(no Ironwood discourse on this post please, I don't condone his actions in Vol8 but I prefer to focus on his character in Vol 7 </3)

In any case... a very good day to you all !

Oh and here's the clean copy !

To be honest these two were one of my favorite part of the Atlas arc ;; Winter, Penny... I care them. That scene made me tear up, they're too good for this world

“I thought of you… and here we are.”

“Oh, Penny.”

When Winter realized what Penny meant… the way her voice just cracks

THIS WAS SO BITTERSWEAR I CAN’T

RWBY's Love Language - Part 1

Okay so I'm very new to Tumblr and that means I don't know yet how everything works lol So this is kind of supposed to be a reblog except if I use reblogs then it won't show up in the main tags and I spent too much time on it for that soo; here goes (and I'll edit my reblog afterwards) Inspired by greenteaandtattoos' post "Everyone has a different way to express their affection towards someone. This is called a love language. Each person has a different one. Not everyone expresses their love through intimate physical contact. Some enjoy praises, and others find the strongest love through hugs." What would be everyone's love language in RWBY then ? Here's my opinion !

***

Ruby Rose

Ruby's main love language would be Words of Affirmation ! From her tendency for optimistic speeches to how honest she is in her relationships, I think a lot points to that really. Her love is freely given, and she is earnest in a way that enables her comfort to land & reassure. Touch is used a lot within RWBY to symbolize the bonds between people and Ruby isn't an exception. But in her case it's aaaalways paired with words and a heartfelt talk. If you're feeling down one way or another, you only have to ask Ruby and she'll tell you just how incredible you are and how to find the strenght to keep going. (Also particularly visible with Penny & Oscar. Whether romantic or platonic one thing is for sure : these three deserve each other <3 )

“You think just because you've got nuts and bolts instead of squishy guts makes you any less real than me?”

“Alright! Come on team, let's do this!”

“Hey, Oscar? This isn't gonna be easy, but the fact that you're even trying says a lot about you. You're braver than you think.”

-------------------------------------- Weiss Schnee

For our resident Ice Queen, I would lean more toward Quality Time. During her convo with Yang, Weiss expresses a sense of loss at how isolated she felt in her own house despite everyone living together mostly because there was a strong lack of family time. "Separate lunches & dinners, then it was no recitals..." In general, Weiss' relationships really shine when she's allowed a moment to just BE with the person she cares about. These scenes are rather diverse but still boil down to simply spending time with others. May it be by listening to Yang, making coffee for everyone, going to the movie with Oscar & Jaune or training with Winter... All of these are show of love in Weiss' eyes.

“I would do anything for you three, and I'm willing to bet Blake feels the same way. So, when she's ready, I'll be there for her. And I know we're not as close, but... I'm here for you too.” “It was really good to see you, Winter.” “I've always wanted bunk beds as a kid.”

-------------------------------------- Blake Belladonna

I'm much less sure of what Blake's preferred love language would be.. Partly because I feel like she mirrors others a lot. And because of that I don't know how much of it is her own preference. However, for lack of a counter-example I'll say that Blake does seem to have a thing for Physical Touch. She feels safe in her father's arm, she reciprocates Sun's shoulder comfort, Yang & her have many soft touches together and group hugs are the best. I'm not quite certain of how much Blake initiates in this kind of love conversation but it's safe to say she doesn't have an aversion to it. On the countrary !

“Shut up! Do you think I like being alone? Every day... every day I think about them! Ruby, Weiss, Yang... they were my friends! I loved them like I never thought I could love anybody. And I hope they hate me for leaving.” “It's about time I saved my friends for once.” “I don't have a choice. I have people who actually care about me, and I promised I'd never leave them again. So I'm not dying now.”

-------------------------------------- Yang Xiao-Long

For our local hand-to-hand fighter I have to go with Physical Touch ! Out of everyone in team RWBY, Yang is the one who communicates the most through all kind of touches. Linking hands, forehead touches, hugs and even sparring, the sunny dragon shows her care with her whole self and others naturally reciprocate that language. Yang isn't the most eloquent with her affection, and conversation can be hard because she's got opinions and isn't scared of showing them. But her touches are especially tender and always go beyond the simple act of hugging. It's a melody of "I missed you too", "I forgive you" and "I love you" all wrapped up in the softest brush of hands; and I'm certain it's what matters most to her.

“You can spout off whatever you want, but nothing is going to keep me from my sister.” “I've missed you, too.” “No one blamed her for anything! If she had just talked to us, she would've known that! How could I be there for her if she doesn't let me? What if I needed her here for me?”

-------------------------------------- Lie Ren

Lie Ren (why does no one in the show call him by his 1st name actually ? Were we ever given a reason ? It's weird. Anyway - ) Lie Ren sucks at talking. Emoting is not his forte, grand displays of love though hugs and tender words either. But one thing is for sure : you can count on him for everything else. He's the responsible one. When Oscar is in trouble, Ren is the most hellbent on saving him. He's the cook of the group, as well as an open ear to anyone who might need one. Acts of Service is the way he shows how much he cares day by day. And though he could certainly stands to get better at articulating how he feels... Being the best partner you can be and making sure you're always here to help when needed is just as important.

“No, it's not. He's our friend. We will do whatever it takes to find him, because we care about him. No one is replaceable ! ” “I've been so...angry, at myself. For not being as good as the Ace Ops, for what happened at Robyn's rally, for losing the lamp. I thought if I just focused on working harder, getting stronger, that we...I, wouldn't fail. ” “You know I've... never... been really good with talking.”

-------------------------------------- Penny Polendina

For our resident and lovely Penny, I'll have to go with Physical Touch and Acts of Service ! From the very beginning, Penny has had a passion for tight hugs, tackles, fist bumps and let's not forget... hand-holding. Our favorite robot loves nothing more than to share comforting touches with others, and the care that shows through them. And NO I don't buy the whole "never felt the warmth of hug before getting a human body", take that canon elsewhere and throw it in the trash ! Penny has always been enthusiastic and loving; and it's though physical touch that she's best comforted. Additionally, Penny took the sentence of "always help your friends" right to the next level, and you can be certain that if there's anything she can do for you, any way to help... She'll get right to it, and you have absolutely no chance of deterring her.

That's terrible! Well, don't you worry, Ruby my friend! I won't rest until we find your teammate!” “That is not... I choose to fight for the people who care about me.” “I won’t be gone, I’ll be part of you.”

Also Penny more than deserve a second gif for how wonderful she is, so take it and not a word.

-------------------------------------- Jaune Arc

And then it's Vomit Boy time as they say. If you're thinking "wow we're really lacking in the Gift Giving love language" well... You're right. Since no one ever gives others gifts in RWBY, I feel like that's the hardest to guess lol. However, among our heroes Jaune in particular seems to care about material memories in more tangible ways than the other. He rebuilt his sword around Pyrrha's weapons, and kept her red sash as well. It seems highly plausible then than Gift Giving might be a way for him to show care & affection as long as he's allowed to put a lot of thought in the gift. Other than that, I'd say Words of Affirmation is a safe bet as well : him and Ruby are certainly good at tag-teaming to lift the other up along the way of a conversation.

“I guess... I'm just trying to say that... you've always been there for me... even when I didn't deserve it. And I can tell there's something on your mind, so... I don't know. How can I help?” “You didn't drag us along. You gave us the courage to follow you.” “Ruby is your sister, she's always going to love you even if you disagree with each other.”

-------------------------------------- Nora Valkyrie

Nora, Nora, Nora... Is anyone really surprised by this conclusion ? I should hope not because it's one of the easiest to notice ! Physical Touch is Nora's go-to way of showing her care to others. She's the glue in JNR group hugs, Oscar probably has a few bruised ribs because of the strenght of her taclking hugs, she initiated the Boopness in her relationship with Ren and she's always delighted with getting back some of that physical affection. While Nora could probably stand to learn to tone it down a little for the sake of those who are not as comfortable with this kind of discussion, she's still a lovely girl and has a good grasp on emotionnal intelligence overall. She's earnest and caring and gives her all in her relationships, and even Oscar is able to appreciate her hugs when her enthusiasm takes the backseat to her gentleness <3

“Boop!”

“No. I won't let you kill yourself like this. After everything we've been through, I won't let it end.”

“We... heard what you said to Cinder, at Haven. You're not being fair to yourself. We love you, just like we loved Pyrrha. We're teammates, family.”

I'll most likely do Emerald and Oscar in another post with more characters <3 (I love Oscar to pieces but this is getting awfully long haha). Until next time !

OOOOH that’s honestly such a fun question to ask !  I love wondering about this kind of thing with OCs or character. Good fit for my 1st post on Tumblr lol Idk how everything works and my long ass post doesn't show in the main time if I answer directly as a reblog. So here are my ideas of their love languages, aaaand a link to a much longer post exlaining why haha https://nexyra.tumblr.com/post/650515303065894912/rwbys-love-language-part-1

Ruby Rose

Ruby's main love language would be Words of Affirmation !

Weiss Schnee

For our resident Ice Queen, I would lean more toward Quality Time.

Blake Belladonna

For lack of a counter-example I'll say that Blake does seem to have a thing for Physical Touch.

Yang Xiao-Long

For our local hand-to-hand fighter I have to go with Physical Touch !

Lie Ren

Acts of Service is the way he shows how much he cares day by day.

Penny Polendina

For our resident and lovely Penny, I'll have to go with Physical Touch and Acts of Service !

Jaune Arc

It seems plausible that Gift Giving might be a way for him to show care & affection as long as he's allowed to put a lot of thought in the gift. Other than that, I'd say Words of Affirmation is a safe bet as well.

Nora Valkyrie

Physical Touch is Nora's go-to way of showing her care to others.

Good day !

Everyone has a different way to express their affection towards someone. This is called a love language. Each person has a different one. Not everyone expresses their love through intimate physical contact. Some enjoy praises, and others find the strongest love through hugs.

With so many characters and ships in RWBY, we've seen several types of love languages already!

This isn't limited to just romantic relationships, either. Whether it's a platonic, familial, romantic, or ant other such type of relationships, all parties have their own love language.

What this post is aiming to do is determine what YOU think the love language is of each character named below. Sorta like a poll, but not because Tumblr doesn't have the option for polls. So, instead of a poll, I'd like you to reblog with your answers!

I've provided a chart below of each love language. It consists of a description of each of the five love languages and some examples of how one might communicate and act on them.

Read through the chart above and then pick which love language you think fits which character and reblog!

Remember, this doesn't have to be romantic. It can be a platonic ship, a familial pairing, a sibling dynamic, etc.

RWBY Art Challenge Day 27: Outfit Swap

So I’ve gotten to the point in this challenge where I’m like “who haven’t I drawn yet” so here’s these two lovely ladies swapping outfits (probably Penny’s idea whilst Ciel found a cool holo-watch thing in Penny’s outfit)

Offenbach Am Main 2025 Düm Tek Tek offical video
