I can't help but wonder why so many people automatically assume that Qrow decided Ruby should wield a scythe, like he just looked at her and decided "I'm gonna take you under my wing and teach you everything I know, kid, because why not!!" I've always imagined that, when Ruby got to the point where she had to forge a weapon at Signal, she decided she wanted to wield a scythe. Once she made the scythe, she had trouble wielding it properly and realized it was a lot harder than she thought it'd be, so she asked Qrow to help her or Qrow saw her struggling and decided to help. After all, what did Ruby say?

"I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing!"

BEFORE. Indicating that she was trying to learn how to wield a scythe, before Qrow trained her.

Qrow did not just up and go "I'm gonna train you to wield a scythe so you can be my legacy!" Ruby decided she wanted to wield a scythe, and Qrow went "Wow, kid, you're really bad at that. Let me help."
