Yang: "Hey Ruby, what would you call our uncle if he was an archer?"
Ruby: "An even greater danger to himself and others?"
Yang: "Well... I was gonna say Qrow and Arrow..."
Damnit, Barb!
I’m torn between this being funny and too real. 10/10 comment mate
"Actually Satan?"
"Oh shut up, Rin!"
Ti: You're not wrong
Qrow and cinder ship name
"If you were one of my men, I would have you shot."
"If I was one of your men, I'd shoot myself."
Still the best burn in the entire show.
If rather ironic with what happened in V7.

And vol 8 because he almost shot marrow
Under normal circumstances, it is a great burn. But Qrows' semblance is misfortune. Is this kinda his way of saying "I'd spare you my bad luck"?
this is my fav line in the whole series. It was such a perfect comeback.
And then a few seasons later: "Holy crap, he wasn't kidding".
Let's also keep in mind that Qrow's semblance isn't just bad luck---it's bad luck for everyone around him. But not himself, specifically. Like he said, it comes in real handy in a fight; if it hurt him too then it wouldn't be helpful in a fight, it would be a hindrance. It affects everything and everyone around him, but not himself, specifically. Maybe that's why he's drunk? maybe it isn't as active when he's inebriated. Though, probably not considering he quit drinking. The drinking is probably just related to his mindset.
I'm still curious what he was called before 'Qrow' though. he said he was given his name because of his bad luck semblance. But that wouldn't have activated for a while, right? So surely he had some kind of name prior to that. Either that or in the Tribe, they don't name you until you are old enough to do something memorable; something to be named for. Wouldn't really explain Raven's though.
Unless Qrow 'killed' their mom, being the second twin to be born, and she died after that so the Tribe was just like "well that's bad luck, we'll call him Qrow. And for the bird theme we will call his sister Raven." Which means Qrow's semblance probably started due to him already being seen as a bad luck charm since birth, and it messed with his outlook on the world and on himself so much that he started to believe he was bad luck, and thus his semblance was like "shit, alright, let's be bad luck then". Since semblances are either based on something that helped you survive something (like Nora, being struck by lightning) or are based off your personality (Blake, leaving behind a copy of herself to take the hit while she runs, she's always been running because that's her first instinct when things go wrong; or Yang being the tank of the group, probably stemming from how Summer died and she had to pick up the pieces since their dad checked out after that for the most part; she had to be the mother figure, the protector of Ruby, which made her semblance manifest as 'hey, hit me all you want, i will take the hits for her, and I will still win the fight because I don't have any other choice because you're not getting to her') then I could see Qrow's semblance manifesting this way, due to his personality/belief that he is bad luck because that's what he's been told all his life.
Didn't mean to rant, I just have a lot of thoughts when it comes to semblances and what it says for their characters.
I think he stated it even tries to hurt him in fights but it also goes for enemy. There one fight with Ruby were something goes very wrong that gets him in trouble that he thinks is his curse.
Loved reading this years later. Love the analysis! Thanks!
I'm sure he's drunk because he hurts the people he loves the most. 100% it's the mindset of "im cursed, and everyone else pays the price"
His semblance does give him bad luck too but he has the skill level to nullify it for himself "Usually"
And now it's likely evolved, as many other semblances have. Spoilers for Season 8, ahead, so bear with me.

The moment where the bomb almost drops out of the ship, Qrow is holding Clover's pin, and it's a moment of good luck that the bomb catches, and the city is spared, right? Clover, earlier, mentions that he doesn't believe for a second that Qrow's power is /only/ bad luck, and the ability to control it. Clover's own experience with his own semblance gives him an extra perspective, and it's enough to get Qrow to change his line of thinking. The idea of personality and perspective mattering is absolutely relevant, given how semblances have shifted throughout the show, gaining powers, or changing how they manifest, usually around the time someone has a huge epiphany. It's really cool to see the evolution, and to see Qrow's views shift to be more and more hopeful.
Ah yes, the song in which it's motif is probably used the most in the series, got to love it. In all seriousness, I like the use of Bad Luck Charm's 5 note motif, mainly used during moments of sheer hopelessness. The motif is from the line "I am no one's blessing, I'll just bring you harm."
This and Ironwood's five note theme are my favorites
I just love Qrow's motif every since we first heard it in the Qrow vs Winter fight
this song hits harder than Qrow punching Tyrion in the face
Still amazes me that those were as effective as they were.
I can’t help but feel bad for Qrow. He has the power to bring bad luck to those around him and is unable to shut it off. Also seeing how Qrow knows Salem and Salem knows Ruby’s mother, I bet that he feels that he’s partly responsible for Summer’s death
Stuff like this is what makes me angry at the writing team. They have the foundations for really interesting and compelling characters, but they fail to use them in any meaningful way.
EXACTLY. The Soundtrack is exactly why I am so disappointed in how they made RWBY. Jeff Williams created a goldmine of potential with these songs but RT just couldn't measure up. Jeff Williams is a better writer than anyone else that worked on RWBY.
I actually have a project currently on hold where I'm rewriting RWBY with the Soundtrack as the foundation. I'd be happy to share some of it to you if you're interested
Agreed.
The show quality REALLY took a huge nosedive and it just wasn't quite the same after Monty Oum passed away and it's why I simply quit watching the show after about Season 4.
Because the people doing all the writing after Season 3 were all a bunch of totally incompetent goons who had absolutely no clue what they were even doing.
Honestly, I'm kinda glad that Roosterteeth shut down just so that they would finally stop butchering RWBY.
The fight between Qrow/Ruby and Tyrian was so fucking good.
HELL YES ONE OF THE BEST SCENES
Qrow and Winter are the same being from powerful families but left for a greater cause. I think that is why they argue a lot because they are the opposite yet the same.
Thank god for the person who wrote the subtitles, I couldn't understand the lyrics. A real life savor!
1:32 "Im an Albatros-"
If you describe something or someone as an albatross, you mean that they cause you great problems from which you cannot escape, or they prevent you from doing what you want to do.
Volume 7??????
There bad luck to sailors (or good) Sailors believes that seeing an albatross while at sea is a sign of good luck while killing one brings doom and despair.
Sailors is in Clover? The lucky Sailor???????????????
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
its actually lucky fisher but I digress
I want to give this sad man a hug.
That might not end well, but good luck, you will need this 🍀
No wonder he always has a flask on him. He’s depressed and fell into alcoholism.
@@RandoDoodlzAgreed.
When you are LITERALLY a breathing, walking and talking "Bad Luck Charm" that brings misfortune, pain and sorrow wherever you go despite you wishing not to 24/7, it would be extremely surprising if you somehow managed to NOT fall into a deep depression and Alcoholism.
Qrow Branwen has a bunch of roots to various mythological characters but I've never heard anyone liken him to the unfortunate Princess Branwen of Welsh mythology.
He relates to the Brainless Scarecrow in his drunkenness mirroring the Scarecrow's brainlessness, his ability to think and plan despite his drunkenness mirrors the Scarecrow's intelligence despite lacking a brain and he takes over for Ozpin after his death like the Scarecrow takes over as ruler of the Emerald City after Oz leaves in the original story.
Qrow and Raven mirror Huginn and Muninn, the twin ravens of Odin/Ozpin, who go out in search of information to bring to their master, who worries that one day they won't return.
In relation to Ruby, Qrow is the Huntsman to her Little Red Riding Hood, being her childhood saviour from a wolf/Beowolf attack, although in Qrow's case he goes on to become her combat mentor, like a sequel where the Huntsman teaches Littler Red how to defend herself from more Big Bad Wolves (Ruby's trailer has her destroy a horde of Beowolves on her own).
With Branwen, Qrow relates to her in the simple fact that their mere presence brings misfortune and suffering to those around them and their complete inability to stop it.
Branwen is a Welsh legendary figure, the sister of King Bran the Blessed, married to King Matholwch of Ireland in a bid for peace. The peace doesn't come, however, and King Bran's attempts to rescue his sister from King Matholwch's abuse of her result in her entire family and two whole armies dying for nothing, and she dies from the grief.
The trouble starts when King Bran and Branwen's half-brother Efnysien flies into a rage upon hearing that his half-sister has been married to the enemy without him knowing and mutilates the Irish horses, leading to King Matholwch's nobles being outraged at their king for accepting King Bran's 'lacking' apology. King Bran's apology had consisted giving the gift of a cauldron that can resurrect the dead, though the resurrected are deaf and mute.
King Matholwch tries to redeem himself in their eyes by treating his new wife, being King Bran's sister, cruelly and forcing her to work as a servant. She gives birth to a boy called Gwern and sneaks a letter to King Bran asking him to come and get her. When King Bran arrives King Matholwch tries to avoid war by offering to abdicate in the name of his newborn son.
Efnysien foils an attempt by the Irish lords to ambush and attack the Welsh by killing them in the flour bags they were hiding in, but at the celebration of the newfound peace between Wales and Ireland he kills his nephew by throwing Gwern into a fire. It's unknown why he does this, although it's most likely that Efnysien got very drunk and confronted King Matholwch, accusing him of orchestrating the failed ambush then flew into a rage and killed Gwern when King Matholwch denied it.
The Welsh and Irish armies present rise up against each other after the second failed attempt at peace. The Irish initially have the advantage, resurrecting their dead with the magical cauldron, but Efnysien sacrifices himself to destroy the cauldron. By the end of the fighting the entire Irish army has died, including King Matholwch. The only Welsh survivors are King Bran, Branwen and seven of their soldiers.
Upon reaching Wales, King Bran dies from poison from an arrow he took to the leg. Having lost everyone she ever loved and seeing two armies annihilate each other over her half-brother's foolishness and her own spousal abuse, Branwen succumbs to grief and dies from the emotional agony.
Branwen simply being there resulted in nothing but pain and misfortune that wasn't her fault. Qrow Branwen causes pain and misfortune simply by existing, and there's nothing he can do about it.
Wow, you had time
Very interesting
"You can actually pinpoint the moment his heart rips in half. There, right there."
- Failstabs in a nutshell
Came to this after hearing it there too
he may be a bad luck charm, but he's our bad luck charm
damn, this song felt so perfect. It just captures the negative self hatred so much, I got so inspired it I needed to write my own version of it. One breaks down and get pulled in from thsi song all the same.
As much as I love this song I just keep thinking about one of my favorite Mal Reynold's quotes
"Last I knew an albatross was the ships good luck until some idiot killed it."
1:52 This line really stands out to me now that I have watched season 7 and why Qrow was so surprised when Clover said his semblance is good fortune
This will forever be Qrow's Theme.
1:20
Qrow: Ruby! What did I say? GET BACK!
Ruby: THIS IS MY FIGHT TOO!
Qrow: "No, it's not that. It's-"
Ruby: "Yaaa!!"
I feel so sad for Qrow... I wouldn't wish that semblance on anyone. It must be so heart-rending to be forced to not being around your own family out of fear that your semblance will harm them...
You think that Ozpin would have developed some sort of device at some point that either outright shut down Qrow's Semblance so long as he wore it.
Or said device at the VERY least mitigated his Semblance, to the point that you would only lightly stub your toe, drop a glass, or spill something at the very worst.
Versus it causing you to be brutally eviscerated by a Grimm or be shot/stabbed after being robbed and then beaten to a pulp because the theif was just a huge douche/psycho.
“You don’t want the burden of my name” is one of the biggest pieces of evidence that he’s actually Ruby’s father imo
It could alo apply to his old tribe, team, or even the other headmasters since he at one point worked with all of them closely which is why he preferred going solo
That's what I thought. And then apparently they have confirmed that he is not o-o Like what's this line theeeen. Yes he has other people who he has distanced himself from, but what does his name have to do with any of them. Ruby is the one who might be carrying his name, if it was true and known he was her father. This will remain my headcanon.
they retconned a lot in the later seasons
My right earphone broke after listening to this song. Guess he really does bring bad luck lol.
This song is beautiful, possibly the most perfectly worded (lyricked?) song in all of RWBY.
When Qrow was a badass character before getting neutered by the writers and his VA getting fired from Allegations that were never proven.
I'm pretty sure the allegations falling through are why rooster teeth got shut down brought to much negative PR to them
SOMEONE GIVE QROW A HUG,
and can that someone please not turn evil and/or die in the same season - thank you
I’ll need a lot of green aventurines and four leaf clovers
Poor Qrow... I hope he eventually finds a way to control his Semblance, maybe find a way to weaponize it against his enemies without harming himself or his friends. Also I may be just imagining things, but I swear I kinda heard the notes to "This Will Be The Day"/"I May Fall" in this.
Quick reminder, qrow was at beacon before the fall and left shorty before the final fight
2:53 "A sure train wreck." Volume 6 flashbacks. RoosterTeeth really knows what are they doing.
OH GREAT HEAVENS YOUR RIGHT
"Just my luck."
"It's not yours."
Depressing headcanon: Qrow was with Summer when she died, and blames himself for it.

I know we’ll never get answers but there are so many theories that can be drawn from the lyric “you don’t want the burden of my name”
Because being Qrow Branwen is suffering and would probably break many other characters, if not kill them long before Qrow became relevant to RWBY?
It could probably be taken (at least partially) as you don't want the hassle(s) that will come with you being with/around Qrow because of all the bad luck he brings with him wherever he goes because of his Semblance.
I love this song so much, any other rwby fans here?

@@gabrielaarons6102 Oh I meant if anyone is still here listening to the soundtracks or so, my bad for the wording lol

A characters who bad luck even affected the voice actor
Yeah, seriously.
The dudes luck was SO catastrophically bad, it even somehow affected the company, the show itself, and all the staff in RoosterTeeth as well.
Truly an overpowered and broken Semblance if it could actually affect the "Real World" in such a way.
the line “ sad to say I’m your bad luck charm” comes up I hear “Santa says I’m your bad luck charm”
This song reminds me how much I miss the original voice... they really ruined him in the last few seasons.
They got rid of him for a reason.
Uncle Qrow for Genshin Impact
"I'm a harbinger I cannot lie"
Prediction: that's not Qrow's semblance. After one bad thing happened, he fell into a pit of despair, which inevitably led to him not realizing that that's his semblance, so he sees the worst in every situation and calls it his semblance's fault.
Damn. Seven months ago.
Qrow out here literally having the same power as Milo Murphy
This is what happen's when you combine Devil May Cry's Dante and Blazblue's Ragna The Bloodedge into one Character
I miss the old Qrow. He has been doing some really dumb stuff these recent volumes and the new voice actor isn't half as good as Vic
all because of jellybeans, i swear to god if i were vic i would hire hitmen to assassinate these ratbastards.
When you look at it at face value, it sounds like a common edgy emo song. But knowing what it’s truly about really makes it something else entirely.
It all started with Vic
"you don't want the burden of my name" hmmmmmm! Now who are you referring to? Perhaps a certain red riding hood.
Qrow “Fuck Luck” Branwen
Y'all ever noticed how Qrow is like Cloud and Raven is Sephiroth
Pain is your reward for being near me
Fate won't be your friend when I'm around
Blame me for the tragedies that follow
Grave, the situations that surround
I'm a harbinger, I cannot lie
I will change the color of your life
I don't mean to bring you pain
But I will, just why, I can't explain
I am no one's blessing
I'll just bring you harm
I'm a cursed black cat
I'm an albatross
I'm a mirror broken
Sad to say, I'm your bad luck charm
Shame, hang my head in constant sorrow
Rain on every day you need the light
Strain to see some fortune in tomorrow
Bane is what I am to every life
Trust one thing, take my advice
If you linger close, it's a hefty price
You and I are not the same
You don't want the burden of my name
I am no one's blessing
I'll just bring you harm
I'm a cursed black cat
I'm an albatross
I'm a mirror broken
Sad to say, I'm your bad luck charm
A guaranteed catastrophe
A tear that's bound to fall
A sure train wreck
And you'll soon regret
The day I came to call
I'm cursed black cat
I'm an albatross
I'm a mirror broken
Sad to say, I'm your bad luck charm
1:02 this is a reference to his weapon right? Cause harbinger is his weapon
Yes
you don't want the bird-en of my name...
Why is this such a relatable song
I thought an albatross was a ship's good luck until some idiot killed it.
Yes, I've read a poem, try not to faint.
I've fainted and I can't get up

Its ironic Qrow is the one who wants to be with his friends and family but cant due to his bad luck semblance, While Raven wants nothing to do with hers but her power only works with family and those close to her they have that the other wishes they had
Mike McDermott tbf, I don’t think the tribe would appreciate much their leader emanating bad luck to those around them, as it would constantly affect the other members of the tribe
I’m pretty sure they did that on purpose

Team STRQ really needs their own spin-off miniseries. I think it would go over really well, although I think seeing Qrow discover his semblance and the burden that comes with it would be heartbreaking.
His semblance could be what got summer killed to be completely honest. Only a theory though
I mean he could've discovered it before he went to beacon so that is a good thing if it does happen
I just want to see team STRQ's landing strategies
That's an amazing idea, but him discovering his semblance would be funny at first because the rest of STRQ would just be like... "yeah you're sleeping outside, Qrow..." But ultimately of course it would get to a point of his semblance being known to everyone at the academy... Eventually leading to his own spiral into his lone wolf approach to life... But... He of course would still be comforted by his team and sister... Until the split of Raven and Tai... Followed by the death of Summer... The problem I'd see from it though is the fact that this miniseries (while it would be appreciated) would end up showing the true light of the split of team STRQ... Tai and Qrow would go from being the friends they were to being civil with each other only for Yang and Ruby's sake, but otherwise still have a slight dislike for each other... We'd discover why Raven just decided to up and leave a loving husband and daughter. And possibly discover the true cause of Summer's death... There's so many answers we'd want answered as we found out more and more about STRQ... Including many of the mysteries we know of now. (My theory is that Qrow's semblance inadvertently caused Summer's death... Which could be the reason Tai and Qrow don't exactly see eye to eye on many occasions, because while Tai resents Qrow for Summer's death, he ultimately knows it's not completely Qrow's fault... But he still blames him for Summer's death.)
Sounds deliciously emo inspiring.

Kiba Bloodwing BIRDY NO😂😂😂😂
I prefer to think it was Raven.......
I think about this a lot
Wow that would be some BAD LUCK😂😂
This made me laugh way too much
Fun fact - the albatross was considered to carry the souls of dead sailors. Many considered the albatross to be a sign of good luck, as their presence meant that one of these souls had come to protect the ship. Others considered the albatross to be a bad omen - namely that one aboard the ship was fated to die. Either way you viewed the albatross, to kill the albatross would be to curse your entire crew. Thus the killing of the albatross was considered taboo by sailors.
While these superstitions seem silly to us, it is not surprising that sailors considered these birds to hold mythical power. The albatross is a master of the sky - able to fly endlessly without effort. These birds can fly 10,000 miles without ever landing and without even flapping their wings. To sailors, this seemed to be magical.
Taedrin So with that information and applying it; what could it mean for Qrow's future? Maybe he'll die in battle at sea, and his death will inadvertently cause the downfall of at least one of Salem's commanders?
Lawrence Gist It's likely just there as another symbol of bad luck, like black cats and broken mirrors. I wouldn't look too deep into it.
That means he carry the souls of the ones who failed to protect, metaforicaly, sorry my english
Haha nice lesson
So he does carry *some* good luck?
Let's be real here, most other characters are nice and all, but Qrow is everyone's favorite.
you know it. qrow is EVERYONES favourite they like him or not
I COULD NEVER BETRAY MY ICE QUEEN!!
Pyrrha used to be my favourite but yeah she dead now.. so Qrow takes the top spot
Qrow Ruby and Jaun for me
My favs are Jaune, Yang and ruby
I really like the theory that someone had that Qrow's bad luck semblance is actually just dependent on his state of mind, that his negativity feeds into his semblance. So the theory goes that if he were to become more of a positive person with a brighter outlook on life, his semblance would flip to good luck. Probably not the case but it would make an interesting fanfic
That would actually be interesting. Then it would be Qrow just trapped in his own personal loop
The more bad luck he causes the worse he feels and the worse he feels the *even more* bad luck he will cause
A theory which actually has a slight bit more evidence to it now that Clover exists.

@@bluestreakmike3800 RIP.
Well, if you were to think of how semblances work, in any case brought in the serie there's a way to control that power. That's why they are trained, to do so. Ren, for example, showed that through training he could control his semblance, instead of just having it function almost randomly. Qrow then seems to actually control his "bad luck" by baiting the enemy in a situation in which bad luck may happen and when he fights solo, with focus only on the enemy. The two main battles featuring Qrow showed that, the moment he focuses on someone, he can project his semblance on them, even if are his own allies. There are some hints that would point out that he may be able to focus bad luck, even if he thinks it's just an AoE passive effect, thus re-distributing bad luck around him. It's just farfetched for now, but I think it should be looked into more, since it may be a good story of growth, to transform a curse into a blessing through thinking and hard working. No heroic travels or anything, a humble and very human story.
omg i just realized that his bad luck is why the bartender in the beggining of season three broke that glass

It actually gets even better! Later on the girl in the pub gives him top shelve booze and says "lucky you"
Also when Ruby was hanging on his arm and then later fell on the floor after his fight with Winter.
I love how he's introduced in the "Crow Bar".
Qrow is literally my favorite character in RWBY and I'm so glad that he has a theme song. It suits him a lot. But I feel bad for him because of his semblance.

The sideways cross originates from Norse mythology, I think, it is the semble of someone who is in great mourning over someone they lost.

"You don’t want the burden of my name"
Is basically representing each of the dark sides of our beloved characters. And he is ONLY the bad sides.
plot twist, it's a sign that Qrow is all of team RWBY's father
Erin Jackson Oh you son of a-
The you and I are not the same reminds me of Blake who also seems to think she is cursed but hes saying no but I am
Luke Deakin I know what you mean, in Vol 6 ep 1 when the Manticors showed up Blake went "just my luck"
What would Albatross mean?
"I'm a cursed black cat" -Referring to Blake
"I'm an albatross" -Referring to Yang
"I'm a mirror broken" -YOU ALREADY KNOW IT'S WEISS
"You and I are not the same you don't want the burden of my life" -Referring to Ruby
"I'm a Harbinger" -Referring to his weapon
name*
How does albatross translate to Yang? Shes a dragon.
@@Fanimati0n mabey cuz of raven it's the closest we have to her and she could also be a Phoenix and a dragon so who knows. And a Phoenix is a legendary bird
@@milandiestelhof9869 Yang's name literally translates to "Sunny Yellow Dragon"
@@Fanimati0n i know but a albatross was bad lucky for sailors and if im correct the albatross was a bird. And if were going with that those lines are team RWBY and his weapon then. Raven is the albatross linking to Yang for if u forgot raven and qrow have the abillity to morph info there respective birds. But that is me you do you
Qrow really needs that hug
Morgan Sheepman
best not, don't want to accidentally die.
Logan Cantillon I'll take that chance
Me too.
I'm sure a certain white-haired girl would like to give him that hug.
Hey. I know you!
Qrow Branwen: Former bandit, current Veteran Huntsmen, best uncle in the world. But alone, sad, broken, and in a constant state of self hatred and isolation. Truly a man among men. Here's to you Qrow you wonderful person, you may think you're cursed but it'd sure be a blessing to have someone who cares half as much as you in their life.
*clinks glasses* To Qrow
May he continue to protect his loved ones from the shadows.
He hasnt died yet Kaze xD he's just poisoned atm, gotta wait to next season to see if he lives
Ker Dunne add headmaster of Beacon to his list of Resumes.
Cubix Dani Does a man have to be dead to get glasses raised in his honor?
Qrow is probably the most badass character in RWBY. He’s top 3 material for my favorite RWBY characters.
JD Wolff what if he died
FDN then he better go out with a bang.
sorry in my opinion he be number 1 for me
Key Chi hey, he’s that badass. ;)
JD Wolff his always bad ass character that’s why he is number one
So I'm working out in the gym and I have UA-cam playing music at random. This song comes on and the lights flicker.
DARKSIDE 13 apparently it takes less then 3 minutes and 37 seconds for his semblance to take effect
His semblance of hereditary 😂
r/thathappened
LMAO
"That's unfortunate...."
"A sure train wreck"... Is that why he walks everywhere?
ba dum psssh
he can turn into a bird...he technically flies everywhere
Funny you say that...
*AHem* Volume 6
Heh, volume 6 episode 1 LOLOLOLOL
I'm sorry but now all I can imagine is Qrow as an angsty teen in a skirt.
It's a KILT
Or maybe a Combat Skirt
@@nightmare449 I just realized something, Roman soldiers used to wear red combat skirts back in ancient times and they looked kinda badass in my opinion. lol
Same thing
"Like what y0u see?"
This song is beautiful.
It really sums up what Qrow is about.
His semblance is bad luck. He brings pain to both his friends and enemies.
This is a sad song, but it doesn't have that sad tone.
Why? Because it's screaming.
It's screaming suffering.
For him, for his friends, for everyone.
The whole RWBY cast is amazing, but the Williams brothers with all these songs, they did such an amazing work in giving so much depth about these characters.
I really love you guys.
And, he probably blames himself for many of the things that happened in RWBY...
Omg, poor soul :c
This song is exactly why I can't believe the "Qrow is Ruby's real dad" theory - Qrow knows his semblance is misfortune, and he's ashamed of it. He would never allow himself to love someone as much as he would have loved Summer in that theory. And he certainly wouldn't want to have a child with her - imagine what kind of misfortune would come to his DAUGHTER??? He gets worried enough about Ruby being affected by his semblance when she's just his not-even-blood-related niece, let alone if she was his daughter
I completely agree! I like to think maybe Qrow had feelings for Summer, but didn't act on them because of all the reasons you just said, and backed off.
Maybe his bad luck killed Summer after Ruby was born
It's not like his semblance has a preferable or anything. Daughter or not, the semblance would work just the same. Also if Ruby was Qrow's daughter, it would explain why he tries to stay away from her and left Ruby for Taiyang to act as a father figure.
Cassidy Marsh MAYBE RUBY’S CREATION WAS BAD LU-
While I get what you are saying with that and I also don't think he is her real dad, I just had a thought that maybe he could've acted on his feelings if he didn't know that bad luck was his semblance yet. It's easy to see your semblance when you use it actively, but we don't really know when he became sure of his bad luck as a semblance
"I may be bad luck but I got a BADASS Song" Qrow
I waited sooooo long for this song because it fits Qrow and it's SO BADASS
Yeah I totally remember when he said that
Qrow is exactly like me
He was lucky enough to get a badass character theme at least.
Juan Carlos Garcia Jr Nah
Pft I'm not depressed you're depressed!
*drinks heavily from flask*
Qrow Branwen sure~ just keep tellin' yourself that
Whatcha drinking there bro?
Raven Branwen Just the good ol'dust vodka
*Grabs le flask*
It`s mine now.
Has anyone thought that Qrow's semblance might have been the cause of Summer's untimely demise
Supreme KittenLord well when he was poisen he said"tie..... she not coming....tie" i dont believe he was refering to raven since raven just abandond tieyang like "here your daugther im out of here"
GOLDHAJIK when did he say that again?
F-Triple he says that before team rjnr split up when nora and ren go the mountains and ruby and janue go to kuroyuri
F-Triple is in episode 9 two step foward two steps back near the end
So I have this theory... im thinking not only is he a big part of summer rose' demise but also her life, heres my theory,.. I think he and summer rose were actually together and that ruby is actually qrows daughter, at first I didnt think so because he gives raven so much crap about not being there for her daughter then that would make him a hypocrite if he kept this secret from ruby right? But if he ended up being part of the cause of summers death then maybe he thoughtvhe can never really truly be around ruby too much or else the same could happen he could bring bad luck to her. Now the reason he is so upset about his sister not being with her daughter is beacuse he is jelous that she can be around her but choses not to, when in reality he would do anything to be close to ruby. Just a fun theory ive been thinking about ^_^
"Being Qrow is Suffering - The Song" Basically this OxO
I thought being Taylor Hebert was Suffering?
Please, don't compare Qrow with Taylor...the poor Drunkle could never compete D:
Now I want a fic where Taylor triggers with Badluck... Well, I guess she already had that before she triggered...
Saint Neos
I think my boi Emil still holds the title for character who's entire existence is suffering, but Qrow comes in a close second.
Vaughan Ware Another goddamned altpower? Seriously?
Qrow you handsome devil. . . I'm not gay but dammit I just wanna give this man A hug! *tries to give Qrow hug* *trips and falls*
GOD DAMMIT QROW!!!
Jackson Joestar damn im dead
Jackson Joestar Qrow: "Nope."
I'm gay and I'd hug Qrow too
It's not really gay to hug someone. I'd still hug him.
That all depends on what's going on down south.
3:03 - 3:08
Every time I hear that I just flash back to that first moment when his scythe began to transform. The entire song may be about the memetic badass that is Qrow, but that moment right there, that part's dedicated solely to his weapon. Yeah, Qrow Branwen; a man so goddamn badass that his fucking scythe has it's own mini-theme!
Hawk52042 yes Qrow is badass
I came here to spread bad luck and drink booze, and I'm all out of booze
see, it's already working
Oh fuck, he's out of booze!
Great I can only wait to see what happens next
Arsene Lupin fancy seeing you here
I get the reference :)
poor uncle Qrow i wanna hug him even more now
Hug him Ruby. Hug him... AndAlsoCutOffaScorpionFaunus'sTail
Can I give him a hug too Ruby?
But you would probably fall down ten staircases, off a ten story building, into a pit of acid then trip and break your neck before you even get an inch to him
Don’t he’s bad lick
@@kiwo9647 i want to say its bot but it seems that you're probably right
Ok,Qrow's semblance is awful and all,but could u immagine how good of an under cover agent he could be,you just send him infiltrate the enemy organization and by just staying with them they are neutralized and dismantled thenks to the misfortune(srry for my awful english)
Arcmat La cometa
Foreshadowing???
Ehh, probably not.
That would be freaking hilarious to watch. :-)
He’s all like “MAN, that sucks guys. So where are we going next?”
I read this off of a comment somewhere:
Watts: Madam, we have a problem
Salem: What is it?
Watts: Cinder and her minions defected and is now running away
Salem: WHAT!
Watts: ... And me and Hazel had AIDS
Salem: *WHAT! HOW!?!*
Qrow: *holding his laughter in* I can't believe this actually worked
Well
There's one issue
His semblance affects him too, so he'd end up getting unlucky and probably get caught
We never seen him unlucky in specific. It makes everyone ELSE unlucky.
Perfect for spying, not great for teamwork
Whoops, sorry for having to delete the last one! When it rendered, it caused an unknown loud noise to play at the beginning! Now you should all be able to enjoy it though, haha!
FlyntofRWBYNation - Finally up on here, thought you'd update the partial one, but this is just as good if not better.
@FlyntofRWBYNation: It got messed up the first time because you have a pic of Qrow in the video. You got hit by his semblance.
FlyntofRWBYNation what is your opinion about being a mere Achievemen reference
FlyntofRWBYNation do bmblb next
Nathaniel Wilson tfw when he's already did it
Imagine if Qrow found a way to control his semblance, e.g. to focus it on one person or stop it from affecting other people. He'd be unstoppable.
he can amplify it
so he can kinda control it
@@systamatica How can he amplify it?
First off: Qrow's bad luck aura extends into real life
Second: I like this works on both levels. It's not just a warning to people getting close to him but one to his enemies as well.
"I'm a cursed black cat
I'm an albatross
I'm a mirror broken"
Blake is a black cat, Armed and Ready is about Yang and has 'it's time for me to soar' in the lyrics, and This Life is Mine, about Wiess, has 'I'm shattering the mirror' in the lyrics...
Am I crazy, or is there some foreshadowing here? Or maybe symbolism that I'm not seeing yet? Whelp, time to rewatch the entire series just to find out! ;D
I do think Yang is the Albatross because Albatrosses have really large wings and find it hard to take off (See Yang at home finding it hard to leave after what happened to her).
Matthew Hill and if we are going even farther killing or causing harm to an Albatross means bad luck. so it could mean misfortune could be fall to Adam considering he was the one that disARMed Yang.
what too soon?
P.R.A.D nope in fact imaging that heh Adam is going to be in some serious shit when qrow finds him
Darkmythsolider everybody is heading or is at mistral up to this point in the rwby story. so from what I can assume it's only a matter of time tell their is a powder keg that goes off. though if you ask me i think in a standpoint for character development that Adam is going to be Blake's fight in all honesty. sun may help her but she asks to fight him alone I think that is what is going to happen with Blake or sun being the Victor against him
Wyatt Eastman Pretty sure those are all just things that cause bad luck...
This is my theme song when we pick teams in gym class.
Ditto
Sammmmeeeeeee, sammmeeee
For me it was in everything except dodgeball. I was really good at getting people back in. Terrible at offense though.
Ditto
Metroidsaurus this is my theam song all the time
Winter: Qrow was drunk
Glynda goodwitch: He always drunk
Qrow: .........
*Ruby*: Uncle, are you drunk again?
*Qrow, transforms into crow*: I'M AN ALBATROSS!!
Yup
This song has made me realise...
WE NEED A QROW OVA
Make that a full Team STRQ series and you’ve got a deal!
@@CastleBravo023 G I V E M E S U M M E R G O D D A M N I T !
Qrova
I so want a later scene in RWBY to just have team RNJR be captured and brought to Salem. There seems to be no hope and Cinder is about to burninate Ruby. But then a messenger runs in and says something about someone walking up to the castle.
Cut to Qrow. Walking, letting his semblence loose. No one can touch him and everything around him breaks, explodes or is subjected to friendly fire.
And a slow or in a minor key version of this song is being played.
This is why Qrow is feared, he doesn't need to fight to screw you over.
H9092 Whoa there bud, his semblance isn't that powerful to the point he doesn't need to fight
Also he doesn't control his semblance, it's just there.
H9092 I want that now
you never know. Maybe its like Nora's always on, but it can be switched into maximum power by certain triggers.
H9092 Nora's aura activates when she's charged with electricity, it's not always on. It's like when Yang activates her semblence when she takes damage.Why you think Ruby shot Nora with electricity?
And she can control it
Qrow can't and it always on.
He can't be like "cause that person with misfortune" it happens at random moments
Lightning6475
well he can't turn it off... but he may be able to pump it up. the reason he doesn't is to not cause too much trouble to his allies and bystanders.
man qrow really got fucked over. imagine you live in a world where everyone has their own personal superpower and some people can go really fast or make glyphs or control metal and your twin sister can teleport to her loved ones but you're just really unlucky. I'd be fucking pissed
Especially if my bad luck was bad enough that it actually had the potential to seriously hurt or kill all of my friends and family who got too close to me for too long the way that Qrow's bad luck can.
I'd SERIOUSLY contemplate offing myself in that scenario.
