Emerald was her first crush and y'all gotta pry this headcanon from my cold dead hands
I mean c'mon……. we’re told that Ruby is socially awkward but suddenly she’s all smiles and cuteness when Em is around?? She compliments Mercury and then smiles to herself like “yay, i talked to her!!”
I mean FDUCK THE WAY SHE LOOKS AT HER. SHE’S COMPLETELY SMITTEN SDAHSDHNDJSD
Also a gay mess when Emerald compliments her:
And she also tries to show off that she’s The Leader of Team RWBY™, as if trying to impress her. And is the one to invite Em to eat with them, even though SHE’S THE SOCIALLY AWKWARD
that’s it. that’s the thread. to me, it’s canon. ruby likes girls. emerald was her first crush. die mad
