[overly beleaguered] okay, i'll answer this, but the picks are not going to be... surprising, i think. i'm basic, okay!? aurghh..

number one THE hottest ruby, to me, qrow branwen... it's volume 4-6 ruby =,= of course... it is visually appealing in many ways, along with having a lot of emotional significance. i (uncontrollably) think about ****ing her all the time rhgh. it's so ideal.

it's the combo of ripped thigh highs, tattered cape, and sternum window. it's like designed to hurt me. she's all scrappy, perhaps from traveling throughout mistral for months) and the look is so good as a result... i do um. i like. absolute territory. so i really appreciate the sliver of bare thigh presented right before her skirt... both this and her sternum window feels like an invitation to glide your fingers against her skin, slowly. and yet also dig your fingers into those points of access. the button up underneath her corset is actually quite cute to think about her wearing alone, also -- and it'd be ah, so easy to hook your fingers at the edge and slip out her tits... (i've drawn multiple qrowruby titsuck with this concept, and for good reason!?) ; as an extra bonus, i really like when Avvy wears white button ups around me, so i feel very <3 <3 <3 about it as a look.

the tattered cape evokes qrow which i love sm, they look great side by side during those volumes. =,= but also i really like her silver rose emblem hooking her hood around her neck? it feels so 'ruby' to me... this is definitely my favorite hood/cape combo overall! i sometimes mix and match outfit elements, and i usually want to preserve this aspect over others.

anyways, it's overly biased but, i like how thotty ruby is during these volumes where she has her key story beats with qrow. i mean it makes me feel like i can imagine the culmination of their crazy slowburn love happening in a passion, and qrow gunning to touch her in all these distinct locations immediately as he has been intrusively thinking for the 6-8 months he has been stalking her... oh um, and i feel like ruby's hair has also grown out prettily from the early volumes, so it is like a beautiful length now too, feathery and perfectly framing her face...

Number 2 hottest ruby 'fit to me... well it's volume 1-3 ruby!!! nya. what can i say! she is a beautiful specimen to me. a longsleeve black top and her ruffly skirt, and her tights!! she's your perfect hot topic gf. such a 'classic' feeling ruby to me... i would love to court her. would love to pull down the high collar of her shirt to neck, would love to stick hands under ruffly skirt and grope up along tights. i like that these boots have a touch of red at the top, real nice and goes with the bright red soles. i would love for this ruby to step on my dick.

i keep running into the volume and writing itself influencing how i feel about the look -- i guess i can't give a rating devoid of the atmosphere present around the look...? i suppose i, qrow branwen, am a little sentimental about these details colluding around the 'fit. it influences how i think about interfacing with it...
eurr it's like, early volume ruby is so genki and like *glomps you* XD!!! that i think a lot about this one like laying on her back and hugging her knees to her chest and kicking her legs excitedly. her girlish moments are so cute and sweet, and then on top of it, she is flashing me her panties constantly bc she cannot be aware of how short her skirt is and how tights put everything on blast. i am seeing the curve of her pussy through her panties and it is haunting me like a specter, in the corner of my eyes wherever i go. also when the skirt twirls from an excited movement, it blasts hot pussy air upwards at me and i'm just so fine and normal about this. it's fine. but yes, as a result, i do think about sticking my face up under this skirt and mouthing at her through tights a lot. texture of whatever nylon or spandex against lips...

i look a lot at early volumes girl, i gaze at caps... she just has a particular prettiness... adore her.

Ranked 3 in my picks, thus the lowest out of any of the main volume outfits, is volume 7-8... but make no mistake i don't think her clothes look bad!! the choker and her SUPER tall boots and her short red skirt AND BRIGHT RED BOOTY SHORTS visible beneath the skirt -- these are all of value. i'd be grateful to f*ck her. i would also want THIS ruby to step on my dick. i could never deny her you know? like nghyah. i like her fingerless gloves... she seems to be wearing stockings underneath her short shorts, and that is fun to think about fingering and pressing face against, the gap between shorts/boots...

because atlas drama sucks so bad and is soo misery inducing, i think this ruby really could use like, a pick me up... i think about qrowruby set in V7-8 to be very sadstuck. they just had spent so much time together, getting closer than ever before, but then they enter atlas which is... such an inhospitable environment. and then on top of it, they're split up by being assigned for duties with the ace ops, so there's hardly room to breathe. if they could manage to kiss here it'd be very ardent; crying and clutching one another, gasping through kisses. cupping ruby's face naturally leading to palming her neck and fingering her choker...

sadly i do not like her hair in this volume as much as her old hair ;; i can't help it, i HC that ruby (and various others) had to get their hair cut or tied up to be more 'regulation' do's, and ruby couldn't like... argue. i think of it as an uncomfortable transition, to suit the overall tenor of the atlas era (chiming in to say, i hope her hair grows out for V9-10...) ah but, like, beyond HCs, i do not like how her hair is rendered now. it's not that feathery texture it used to be? i miss the loose, curtain-y quality of her hair. if i think about her current do, i try to think about her [fussy voice] real hair texture applied to it, and it feels kinda uncomfortably messy and choppy, haphazard. but i imagine it still being lovingly touched and run through...

number 4, out of. idk how many?? i'm just picking things i remember off the top of my head. we're getting into the one-off side outfits now though. okay, but number 4 though... that's... PROM RUBY!! surprise! (... is it actually a surprise...?) maybe you wouldn't guess i'd be that into this dress, but i dunno... bear with me but i think about raping this one. it's like, something is misfiring in my brain, that pities how much ruby dislikes this outfit, so i'm like -- i'll rip you out of it. Tear You Out The Rest'a Them Clothez

i do like how misplaced and awkward ruby feels in this, and how much she doesn't, like wanna wear it. in an ideal world, ruby would have run back to her dorm to throw her hood over this dress and stood around awkwardly by the punch bowl for a few more minutes, before stumbling outside. and then when her heels were annoying her once again, she'd just, like take them off, and be walking in just her tights... i honestly like the umm vulnerability of her being so uncomfortable and displaced, wandering off alone... looking like a lost child really. it's like ahhhnnn....~ drools. oh to find you and corner you and rip your tights. and finger you, til you bleed. [suddenly very infatuated with my own thought e_9 ..........6.e]

number five. it's just ruby in her PJs. 'w' what a humble girl. once again she is your hot topic gf. i like her flimsy lil tank top and heart pants. so girlish of you. there's not as much fanfare for this one but my feelings are simple. would love to spoon her and cup her tits sleepily. myah

last one i can think of, so sixth place, bottom rung. ehmm i would say this one is the least of them all in that i don't actually have many thoughts. it's her outfit she wears briefly during volume 2's... [squints] either when team RWBY searches for the white fang, or they have a field trip? i think it's brief & mid volume so white fang prolly? in theory i enjoy the thought of ruby in a grey top, but she has a weird... hard, metal sleeve? bit? and then the texture of the shirt itself is kind of unflattering i feel. i don't like the little black ? overall dress...? that is layered over it, cuz it feels neither entirely under her tits nor over them, so the fabric kinda bunches there weirdly. and i would say in general i'm not crazy for layers like this. the laces on her middle are more fiddly feeling than usual... and then the skirt she is wearing isn't really interesting looking either. no pleats? man even her hood bunches too thickly and kinda sloppily in this outfit, around her neck...! i would have sex with any ruby If She Would Have Me but i do not immediately think of anything with this one. she's going to have to come onto me. u_u

okay that;s my ranking. i. talked more about fucking ruby than i meant to but i hope you just expect that of me at this point
