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

[@kytsunix1654]

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.

[@pistola001]

His semblance could be what got summer killed to be completely honest. Only a theory though

[@thegamingowl901]

I mean he could've discovered it before he went to beacon so that is a good thing if it does happen

[@vm6615]

I just want to see team STRQ's landing strategies

[@LordOfTheCrows1001]

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.)

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

[@donnamitsuki281]

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

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.

Cubix Dani Does a man have to be dead to get glasses raised in his honor?

[@Taedrin]

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.

[@slateoffate9812]

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?

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.

[@LoonyTunes]

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

[@Awesomeasumpta13]

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.

[@danparker93]

Maybe his bad luck killed Summer after Ruby was born

[@swagolishousmasta8349]

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.

[@isuruFO]

Cassidy Marsh MAYBE RUBY’S CREATION WAS BAD LU-

[@HellsMirror]

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

[@h80np39]

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT JEFF'S GUITAR PLAYING?

[@JaelinBezel]

Hossein Nazeran Pour You mean the ukelele?

[@EmerickSin]

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.

[@milferdjones2573]

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.

[@ozymandas4746]

[@owenjames8575]

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"

[@syo782]

His semblance does give him bad luck too but he has the skill level to nullify it for himself "Usually"

[@ChaosWolfRider]

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.

[@mattsandrini180]

+Lightning6475 That wouldn't of happened and you know that. Qrow had Tyrian dancing in the palm of his hand. And yes +Jessica Albert that's usually what ignorance causes; unforseen damage. Whether it be mental, emotional or in this case, a very hard-working liver. If the fight went on without Ruby's interaction who's to say Qrow's semblance wouldn't have made Tyrian sneeze during mid-fight or trip and fall stab himself in the neck, buck his toe and fall right onto Qrow's blade. Qrow's Misfortunate effect can cause so many chances for openings on any enemy to ensure his victory. The tragedy that Qrow's semblance can bring can be quite corny since we now know about it. Deadly nonetheless. But he, in the end would've had the upper hand and ultimately won the fight. #StillBestUncle

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.

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.

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.

Instead of it saying "The day I came to call!" at 2:59, it should have said "The day I came to caw!"... Get it..? Cause its Uncle Qrow, crows caw lolololol

This song is beautiful, possibly the most perfectly worded (lyricked?) song in all of RWBY.

[@btarik.maulana4199]

My right earphone broke after listening to this song. Guess he really does bring bad luck lol.

[@jessicanaegler3904]

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."

If Ruby is really Qrow's daughter.... Imagine Qrow falling in love with Summer but trying to deny it to himself and trying to stay away from her because he doesn't want her to get hurt or worse because of his semblance. And then Summer finally realizing why he's acting so weird towards her, and telling him she doesn't care, because she loves him too. He relents a little, but when Summer is about to have Ruby, he backs up, and wants to leave again because he doesn't want his child to be affected by his semblance either. And he leaves, but Summer wants him to come back because, as she said, she doesn't care and still loves him. So when Ruby is old enough, she leaves her with Tai and goes after Qrow. She finally catches up to him on a train. ("A sure train wreck and you'll soon regret...") He sees her, and begs her to leave, but she refuses. And then the train gets wrecked as a result of his semblance and Summer dies in the wreck...and Qrow blaming himself for it, tells Tai to tell Ruby that she's his (Tai's) daughter so he doesn't affect her...and then leaves to keep the rest of his family safe. Yes...I did make an entire fanfic about it in my head......

So, I saw the comment of Raven that said : “What a wimp bro, suck it up!” *Raven, if I were you, I wouldn't talk to much. After all, I'm not a “wimp” enough to bow before Salem.*
