Back in 2018, I made an AMV for the series RWBY entitled Crimson. While it was initially intended to center around Ruby herself, it somewhat turned into a WhiteRose ship video as my sister pointed out. In the interest of keeping with that theme, I promised a follow-up (as evidenced by a cheeky "1/2" at the end of the video) featuring my personal OTP, and the two characters that got me invested in the show in the first place; Blake and Yang.
I’ve created a handful of videos in the interim, but this one has been on my mind - and my hard drive (I have annotated lyrics from the song I originally planned to use from 2019) - the whole time.
For several years, and several corresponding episodes, I waited - hoping that the perfect moment to end such a video would become canon. It wasn’t baseless - don’t listen to the homophobes that’d prefer to hide behind bogus claims that there was no chemistry between the two to suggest at deeper feelings; I just made a whole-ass AMV full of it - but in a way I needed it to be true as well. Whatever comes next, I needed them - even if only for a moment - to be happy again. And then it happened; despite all the hardships they endured in season nine and the horrors the girls still face; the bees got their moment of calm.
Two years later, a wee bit late for the anniversary, I finished #2 of 2. I hope you enjoy it.
