Okay I admit I’ve been thinking about this AU some more

They are rotating in my mind

Inspired by another snippet that @novankenn wrote which can be found HERE

Get her ass, Blake. Way to throw her off her game

I was messing around with the color balance features after drawing Pyrrha and I think it looks so much cooler now

After:

Before:

What do ya'll think??? Which one better??

[sinqrowithascythe]

it’s been a while

[sinqrowithascythe]

Weiss: HA! Your clothes are so gauche and hideous~!

Jaune: They are?

Weiss: (Pointing) YOU LOOK LIKE A COMMONER~! HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HOH~!

Nora: (Naked in a hole) You tell him, sister~! Who needs clothes when you got hole~?!

Nora: (Laying naked in her hole) Clothes are temporary, but holes are forever...

This goes so fucking hard. Her hair being the monster’s tongue makes me want to learn how to draw. I want to do wild stuff like that. Jinx, the woman that you are.

[sinqrowithascythe]

that tag stole hours of my life

[sinqrowithascythe]

Sadist partner: -///-ohh~, yeah, he re~ally knows that he's doing~ -///-

Jaune: Can I try rizzing you up?

@his ships: *giggles* Sure

Jaune: *on his knees* please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please-

See no evil

You know I’m back to art when I draw these two

[sinqrowithascythe]

I absolutely love this piece and wanted to make it my lockscreen and now I love it even more

The piece isn't the right shape to fit the whole thing on a lock screen, but the angst in this framing is brilliant.

With their faces not showing, you can't tell why they're reaching out, you can't tell this is meant to be a happy and playful scene. In fact, this framing seems to really highlight the "star-crossed" aspect of their relationship and how tragic it became in the core canon.

I love this so much.

New commission from @pilot-boi! It’s so great!

Weiss: Can you do anything right?

Jaune: I can play the fiddle pretty well.

Weiss: I don't believe you.

Jaune: I won a few fiddle duels. Even won a solid gold one from a weird red guy and his band.

Weiss: ...

Jaune: I think someone wrote a song about it. Could've been about someone else though.

Commission of Jaune and Pyrrha as Lanterns for my dude @canoncorps

Had to look back at a different piece I did of them to use as reference, and god damn you can really see how far I’ve come as an artist. Feels good :]

Want some art of your own? [Buy Me A Ko-Fi]

[sinqrowithascythe]

Jaune: I got bit by a great Dane on the way here.

Weiss: Oh my gods. Imagine if it would have been a small child.

Jaune: I know I’m weak but I could have fought off a small child Weiss.

[sinqrowithascythe]

Just realized I never actually drew Weiss perching on Jaune like I did the rest of the gang

So here she is to finish the set

[sinqrowithascythe]

The Ol' Reliable Twins AU, crossed with the (short-lived) Art Therapy AU. Jaune absolutely 100% has a mural dedicated to his twin sister. Yang matters so much to him. So goddamn much. Of all the art, Yang's is easily the most detailed and accurate.

To be honest, Art Therapy doesn’t have much content because it started right when the semester did. So it kind of got set to the wayside. Also I can’t draw fanart of it because then I’d have to draw the murals lol

But yeah, Jaune’s art of Yang is easily the most accurate. Helps that he can use his own face as a basis for what she looks like, and it gets even easier as his hair grows out

He draws her the most because he’s the most terrified of forgetting what she looks like. And to fill the void of his missing twin for all the years of solitude

I think Ice Queendom really grounded a lot of my WK headcanons and what it would mean for Weiss and Jaune in the canon timeline. The way they’re foiled in that show is one of my favorite additions.

They’re both dealing with their identity in a specific way related traditional gender roles and in a way that they think their family might want, and based on the knights/maidens they idealized in their families and from fairy tales. Jaune is afraid of not living up to this toxic masculine image of what he thinks a huntsman is meant to be like the men in his family he looks up to and this translates to a fear of being worthless. On the inside he’s a terrified child oppressed by his legacy and the disappointment/scorn of his family for being a liar and a coward.

In Weiss’s nightmare she projects the image of who she believes she’s meant to be (Ice Queen), while neglecting the other parts of herself she projects onto others. Like Jaune, she’s also still a terrified child in a way. She locks that part of her away because she doesn’t want to be vulnerable. But she also projects the gender normative standards of “Knights” and “Maidens” onto two other people in her dream - Jaune and Pyrrha.

Pyrrha is the ideal Maiden. She’s idealized in her dream world more than anyone else. She’s elegant and beautiful. She sings “Mirror, Mirror.” She essentially speaks to Weiss’s own deep-seated insecurity of not being able to live up to her standards of perfection. Pyrrha actually connects the pairing in her nightmare in a way not dissimilar to how she does in canon.

Jaune is different… as one of the dream NPCs he’s nothing special at all. But when Jaune himself comes into her dream world, he is decked out in a special cape and a giant sword that repels the Nightmare. But he is too weak to lift it. Weiss believes Jaune is too weak and unworthy of his weapon. It speaks both to Weiss’s opinion of Jaune as a person, but also to her own feelings about herself. She had to kill a knight to be free of her Father’s patriarchal prison. She had to essentially become her own knight to save herself (the princess) from her tower. But she also feels she is unworthy of her name unless she lives up to a certain standard, which is why she thinks lowly of Jaune here because he so clearly doesn’t, and why she foists that aspects of herself onto him in her nightmare.

But then why does Jaune have the sword? Because Weiss saw that Pyrrha (her idealized “Maiden”) placed her faith in him. So, as much as she denies it, Jaune has the potential to be a “knight in shining armor”, and some unconscious part of Weiss recognizes that potential. And that’s more or less the burden Jaune struggles to lift in the nightmare. He has the potential to be Weiss’s knight, but he’s not yet worthy. And this story isn’t about him. It’s when Jaune integrates with both the feminine (Pyrrha) and the inner child (the mini Weiss’s) that he can lift the sword to destroy the corrupted “knight” of Weiss’s father to be overcome to help free her from the nightmare. This, too, mirrors Weiss’s slaying of the Arma Gigas in the White trailer. And this is also what Weiss needs to do too to finally be free of the nightmare she’s stuck in. Both Weiss and Jaune need to integrate with those neglected parts of themselves to become the best versions of themselves. They do it a bit in the climax of Ice Queendom and maybe they’ll do it completely in canon too.

Hi!

I love this analysis, thank you for sharing it :D

I agree, the White Knight's foiling is one of my favorite details of the Ice Queendom anime!

I remember loving how the story

Juxtaposes Jaune's knightmare to Weiss's

Highlights how Ruby and Jaune are the people Weiss needs in juxtaposition with Pyrrha, as the one Weiss wants

Has Jaune find a relic, which highlights Jaune's potential to properly connect with Weiss in the future

Has Jaune fight together with Pyrrha and the mini-Weiss at the very end, which symbolically foils Arkos and White Knight :''')

I don't really have anything else to add to your beautiful thoughts!

Thank you for writing them!
