RWBY/Ships

Alcohol Poisoning
Alcohol Poisoning is the slash ship between Tyrian Callows and Qrow Branwen from the RWBY fandom.

Canon
The first time Tyrian and Qrow is in volume 4. During this Qrow manages to save Ruby from a fatal blow from Tyrian. He then proceeds to fight against Tyrian using his bad luck semblance to his advantage. At one point during the fight Qrow loses his weapon so he then decides to continuously punch Tyrian in the face. Near the end of the fight Tyrian managed to poison Qrow with the stinger on his tail before Ruby rescued Qrow and managed to cut it off.

In "With Friends Like These", after Clover and Robyn get into a fight on the prison transport, Tyrian uses this as a chance for him to escape and then kill the pilots. He then starts laughing maniacally while wearing one of the pilots hats. Qrow runs over to him and grabs by the forearms asking what he was doing?. Tyrian then responds "the will of our goddess", while grabbing the control stick and crashing the plane into the ground.

During Qrow's fight against Tyrian and Clover, Tyrian suggests to Qrow that they should work together temporarily to take down Clover and then settle the score between them. After Clover's Aura depletes, Tyrian double-crosses Qrow, by taking his weapon and impaling Clover from behind, thus framing him. Qrow completely shocked then angrily yells that he'll kill him and tries to lunge at him. As now seen in the beginning events of Volume 8, Qrow harbors a deep grudge against Tyrian and is now making plans to track him down and kill him.

Fanon
Alcohol Poisoning is a rarepair in the RWBY fandom. Mainly because the two are enemies and Tyrian tried to kill him (and actually killed Qrow's friend Clover). Most people who do ship them though usually portray Tyrian as a yandere, since Tyrian is crazy and loves killing people and has attempted to kill Qrow twice now. They have a small but decent sized fanbase on tumblr.

Trivia

 * Their ship name comes from the fact that Qrow is an alcoholic, Tyrian is a scorpion faunus and he "poisoned" Qrow in volume 4.

Old Silver
Old Silver is the het ship between Maria Calavera and Pietro Polendina from the RWBY fandom.

Canon
There has not been much interaction between Maria and Pietro, but it was revealed in volume 7 that Pietro was the one who made Maria's prosthetic eyes after she lost her real eyes to Tock.

Although we dont know when the two met it's presumed they met before the events of rwby. Maria revealed in volume 7 that she often comes and visits Pietro every 10 years so he can perform maintenance on her prosthetic eyes. In volume 7, chapter 1 when Maria and the rest of the group visit Pietro at his clinic, he forgets she needed new prosthetics until she reminded him.

Later it was revealed that Maria and Pietro are old friends with each other and have known each other for a longtime. Maria has a very high personal opinion of Pietro and deems him to be Atlas' brightest mind and greatest inventor. Pietro in return reciprocates this and also sees Maria as a very dear close old friend.

During Ruby's Group's arrival at Atlas, Maria primarily stayed with Pietro while Ruby and her friends stayed within Atlas Academy as they worked with James Ironwood. In volume 7 chapter 7, Maria can be seen comforting Pietro when he reveals to Ruby, Weiss, and Maria that he cannot donate anymore of his Aura to restore Penny if she gets destroyed again otherwise he will die. He then smiles down at her.

Later, as seenn in volume 7 chapter 9, Maria showed concern for Pietro due to the massive riot erupting all over Mantle and later the massive Grimm invasion. She then attempted to have him come with her inside the clinic for safety. In volume 8 chapter 5, Maria attempted to reason with Pietro about letting Penny make her own descisions due to his overprotectiveness of her. She later comforted him after they lost contact with Penny when she lost consciousness and fell out of the atmosphere due to Arthur Watts trying to overwrite her A.I.

Fanon
Even though Old Silver isn't as popular as some other het ships in RWBY, it has a decent sized fanbase, since the two seem to be close old friends. They may also remind some people of an old married couple.
