Weiss getting robbed.
Jaune passing by.
Weiss: Sir! Help me!
Jaune: Oh...I can't...
Jaune raises his hand, showing a ring.
Jaune: Im married, see?
The perp takes Weiss purse before lifting up the skee mask to reveal, Neopolitan.
Neo: I knew I married the right man!
Jaune: ...babe?
Neo: Surprise, baby, you passed the test!
Weiss looks confused, as did Jaune.
Weiss: Wait...you're his wife?
Neo goes to hug her husband.
Neo: Come here, I love you so much!
Jaune: What the hell is going on?
Weiss: So you're not actually stealing my purse?
Neo: Oh, like you tried stealing my husband?
Neo dangling off Jaune's neck rolled her eyes.
Neo: Im not as toxic as you!
Neo just tosses the purse at Weiss as hand in hand, husband and wife went home.
Jaune: Is that a knife?
Neo: Oh, that was just in case you helped her. Don't worry about that.

Vale docks
Jaune: *looking around with a smile* Man, Vale didn't change much in 7 years.
Pyrrha: *surprised* You lived here?
Jaune: *nod* Yep! Me and my sis lived in an apartment near the bullhead station when i was 8.
Pyrrha: *pensive* What about your parents?
Jaune: *sad smile* They died when i was a baby.
Pyrrha: *horrified* Oh i'm so sorry! I didn't mean to-
Jaune: *shaking his head, still smiling* It's fine. Can't miss what i never had. *Sigh* Ozpin was our caretaker, *chuckle* he was so flustered when i called him gramps, it was hilarious.
Weiss: *Dumbfounded* ... You were Ozpin ward!?
Jaune: Yep!
Ren: *nod* That explains why you are good at fighting. You probably trained all your life.
Jaune: Eh eh, yeah... *Smiling* I always wanted to help those in need, and since i was in Beacon...
Pyrrha: *smirk* You had the perfect training ground?
Jaune: *grinning* yeah, i- *bump into someone* Oh, i'm sorry i-

Jaune: *blinking, looking at the ground to see a young girl with orange hair* ... Wh-
Penny: *hugging him with all her might* Oh Jaune, i missed you so much!
Jaune: *confused, still giving the hug back* Hm... Sorry if i will sound impolite, but... Who are you?
Penny: *perplexed* What do you- *remembering the briefing, slapping her forehead* Your memory! I completely forgot!
Weiss: *looking at the girl* You two know each other?
Penny: *beaming* Of course! Jaune is my bo- *start blushing* i mean first and best friend! *Smiling* My name is Penny!
Pyrrha: ! Oh, she's the girl you talked about!
Jaune: *surprised* Yeah, it appears so! *Patting Penny's head* I might not remember you, but i know i missed you!

Ruby was certainly getting attention now that she had large tits, thick thighs, and a bouncy ass. All of team RWBY had bodies of bimbos now, something that Ruby's teammates were suspicious about. Ruby lied that it was due to some special cookies, but she wanted to keep the boombox a secret.
Ruby was flaunting and showing off her new assets so much that even Jaune was mesmerized, and Weiss was not happy about that. When she investigated her roommate's belongings she would find the boombox, only to be blindsided by large fat cheeks. Ruby had Weiss pinned down face down and ass up, their round bouncy cheeks pressed together.
"Sorry Weiss, but I can't have you stealing my boombox~"
"Yours?! Ugh! I knew you cheated to get so big! Stay away from Jaune!"
"I will, if you can beat me~"
Weiss was confused before Ruby would channel her aura to the boombox, the base kicking as the words played. Ruby was already dancing, possibly getting bigger and Weiss had no choice but to do battle with their fat asses. Cheeks will ripple, clap, crash and shake the foundation for who is the ultimate booty queen!
baby work baby twerk baby rock baby drop baby work baby twerk
you wiggle wop
baby drop baby work baby twerk baby rock baby drop
baby lemme see you wop
The dorm shook from the boombox's bass, and the thunderous clashes of Ruby and Weiss's fat asses hammered into one another. The music filled their bodies and minds as both Huntresses wanted to prove that they were the better bimbo and worthy of Jaune and his attention. They quickly began to outgrow their clothes as the boombox's power once more affected them both.
baby work baby twerk baby rock baby drop baby work baby twerk
"G-give up! D-daddy belongs to me!" Weiss squealed as she thundered her ass down onto Ruby, trying to use her stronger leg muscles and gargantuan ass to force Ruby onto her knees. "Daddy only needs one princess, and that's me!"
"N~not fair!!! Jaune was my bestie first, so we should be a couple!" Ruby argued back as she felt her body eagerly swell to try and match Weiss's obscene bimbo curves. "Y-you didn't even like him when you two met!"
you wiggle wop
Those words only seemed to incense Weiss as she planted her hands onto her knees and tried to bury Ruby beneath her ass as the residual dust in her body responded to her new growth. "You had your chance, and you wasted it! D-daddy is mine! MINE!!!" Just as she was about to win, Ruby pushed against her, causing her to stumble forward onto her knees.
"I will be the booty queen of this team and be Jaune's girlfriend!!!" Ruby shouted as she used her Semblance to keep Weiss beneath her as her ass grew rapidly. All sense of decency was gone from the reaper as her mind kept replaying the moment they caught Jaune and Pyrrha "training" Weiss, and how much she wanted to be in Weiss' place.
baby drop baby work baby twerk baby rock baby drop
baby lemme see you wop
The boombox wound down as the song finished, and the two Huntresses had become perfect mirrors of one another. All around them were the tattered remains of their clothes as they stared at one another, taking in their round, heavy tits, supple bellies, thick thighs, and unbelievably massive asses. Neither one wanted to back down, and a victor hadn't been decided, so that meant they'd have to have another dance-off. But before either of them could reach the boombox, a voice called out to them.
"Would you look at that? Our Angel went and made a friend." Jaune chuckled as he entered the dorm room, followed by Pyrrha.
"Indeed she did," Pyrrha nodded as she looked at Ruby with the eyes of a hungry wolf eyeing a lone, defenceless sheep.
"M-Mommy, Daddy." Weiss whimpered as she felt Jaune wrap his hands around her, squeezing her new tits gently as he groped at her ass. "I-I did exactly as you said! I-I stole the boombox from Goodwitch, and I made Ruby big, c-can I cum now? p-please!" She looked into Jaune's smouldering eyes as she felt his fingers slip from her nipples to her pussy, and felt him pinch her clit between his fingers and release a surge of aura. Weiss' world went white as she came. For the first time since being discovered by her team, Daddy had finally let her cum.
"Don't you want to feel like that?" Ruby heard Pyrrha whisper in her ear as she watched Weiss go limp in Jaune's arms as she gushed and squirted like crazy. "To able to feel a pleasure so intense that you just lose all control? Well, if you do, come to the gymnasium after dark with Weiss." Pyrrha kissed Ruby on the neck before spanking the reaper on the ass. "Jaune is more than enough to handle the two of you; come down to the gymnasium after dark, and we'll train you just as long and as hard as our Angel."
Ruby couldn't find her voice as her body felt like it was buzzing with pleasure, so she quickly nodded, earning herself another spank across her massive ass.
"Use your words, Cookie, want do you want from Mommy and Daddy?" Pyrrha pressed as she slipped two of her fingers into Ruby's pussy. "What is it you want from us?"
Ruby clung to Pyrrha as the Unbreakable Warrior turned her mind to mush. "I-I..." Ruby started, her voice uneven. "I want Mommy and Daddy to treat me like they treat Weiss!" Ruby screamed as she came all over Pyrrha's fingers.
"Then we'll see you tonight." Pyrrha cooed as she brought her hand up to Ruby's face and made the reaper suck her own juices off of Pyrrha's fingers.

Happy Mother's Day! Feat. Jaune's Future Children.
Ruby: You know Yang mother's day are coming...
Yang: Do you want to visit mom's grave afterward?
Ruby: Yes, I would like that...
Blake: (Damn this is getting dark all of a sudden. Where's Weiss when you need her.)
Then out from nowhere a girl around their age appears suddenly behind Ruby to loudly proclaim herself.
Scarlett: Hi mom it's me your favorite daughter! 😆
Ruby: Scarlett! And how do you even get here? 😮
Scarlett: Heh, heh... Trade secret. 😉
Ruby: So anyway. What brings you here? 🤨
Scarlett: We're here to meet you all, silly. 😜
Ruby: We, what do you mean by we?
Aurum: I think What little sister meant is that she's bringing us to celebrate mother's day.
Yang: OMG you remember about Mother's day. You're Aurum right. You're supposed to be my son from the future?
The man she's talking to tower over everyone in presence, much older than the rest of the group and encased in golden armor.
Aurum: That's right mother how have you been?
Yang: Oh fine... Shoot, I don't know how to act around you. You're supposed to be my son and all, but you're older than my dad.
Aurum: Ha, ha. I get that it would be confusing. But worry not Honored Mother. *kneels* No matter how you treated me I will always regard you with the up most respect.
Yang: Ah, please stop you're embarassing me...
Blake: Wait if Aurum and Scarlett are here then that means. My Dusky Wusky is here too!
Dusk: Mommy!!! *glomps on Blake*
Blake: *Squee* How is my beautiful baby girl. Your mama miss you so much!!!

Scarlett: Well we did that already. But seeing that what we been through last time. We all think it just felt wrong not to celebrate it without everyone....
And speaking of which where's dad? I mean, where's Jaune?
Wow that's super weird calling my dad by his first name. I mean his other version's name. Oh I hate how parallel reality works! 😩
Ruby: Jaune? Oh we haven't see him much lately. Whenever we tried to approach him. He Immediately ran away from us. Can you believe it? 😢
Yang: Can't say I blame him. After everything that just happened. It would be weirder that he acted like nothing happened.
Blake: Whatever it is we should give him some time to process what happened. If he doesn't want to see us anymore then it's fine. We will respect his choice...
Scarlett: I understand. But anyway to get back on topic we have present for everyone here. 😎
Ruby: Present! Well why didn't you start with that. Of course we would like present. 🤯

Uh, I mean. It's not what the present that count but the thought that matters...
Blake: Did you just said my daughter Mother's day present is trash!
Yang: Hey it's not a competition. Although if it were a competition. A Motorcycle beat Macaroni art hands down.
Aurum: Mother please. You're making things worse.
Lady Blake. I would like to apologize on my mother's behalf. I meant no disrespect with my gift to my mother.
It's just that I have so many siblings that I felt I have to match it in size.
Yang: Wait, many siblings. How many are we talking about?
Aurum: Ah, only around 12 with me included of course.

Ruby: O-okay please stop! This is too much new informations to take. I can't. Wait a second isn't there supposed to be four of you?😱
Yang: Yeah the somehow even whiter version of Jaune. Victor. Weiss' son from the future.
Blake: As if that even possible. Jaune is pretty much as white as it can get.
Ruby: If this is a slander on my future baby's daddy then I would rather you keep it to yourself. 😠
Aurum: Not to worry Victor are also here to give his Mother's day present.
Yang: Didn't he tried to kill her the last time they met!?
Aurum: He gave me his word that he will not harm her.
Yang: H-he said that. And you just believed him?!
Aurum: Of course. He promise me after all.
Ruby: Wait. Where's Weiss?
Meanwhile
Tumblr media
Victor: This is all your fault!!!!
Weiss: *choked* (Please someone save me. Ruby. Please save me Jaune...)
----------------------------------------------------------
Anyway here is my sorta sequel to my last fic. Go ahead and read it you want.
Part 1:
Part 2:
Oh yeah and Scarlett have an older brother. And no I didn't just add him out off nowhere. He had an unnamed cameo in an intermission fic I made a while back when I still have 40 followers:
If anyone asking what he is like think Jaune but with none of his insecurity and self loathing. Also he inherited Ruby's silver eyes. Nothing I'm sure.
And I know that someone will be asking where is Jaune in all of this and why is he avoiding team RWBY?
Well the answer is....

Tumblr media Tumblr media
By: Alex Byrne
Published: Mar 14, 2024
“Computing is not binary” would be a silly slogan—binary computer code underpins almost every aspect of modern life. But other kinds of binaries are decidedly out of fashion, particularly where sex is concerned. “Biology is not binary” declares the title of an essay in the March/April issue of American Scientist, a magazine published by Sigma Xi, the science and engineering honor society. Sigma Xi has a storied history, with numerous Nobel-prize-winning members, including the DNA-unravellers Francis Crick and James Watson, and more recently Jennifer Doudna, for her work on CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. The essay is well-worth critical examination, not least because it efficiently packs so much confusion into such a short space.
Another reason for examining it is the pedigree of the authors—Kate Clancy, Agustín Fuentes, Caroline VanSickle, and Catherine Clune-Taylor. Clancy is a professor of anthropology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; Fuentes is a professor of anthropology at Princeton, and Clune-Taylor is an assistant professor of gender and sexuality studies at that university; VanSickle is an associate professor of anatomy at Des Moines. Clancy’s Ph.D. is from Yale, Fuentes’ is from UC Berkeley, and VanSickles’ is from Michigan. Clune-Taylor is the sole humanist: she has a Ph.D. in philosophy from Alberta, with Judith Butler as her external examiner. In short, the authors are not ill-educated crackpots or dogmatic activists, but top-drawer scholars. Their opinions matter.
Let’s talk about sex, baby
Before wading into the essay’s arguments, let’s look at the context, as noted in the second paragraph. “Last fall,” the authors write, “the American Anthropological Association made headlines after removing a session on sex and gender from its November 2023 annual conference.” The session’s cancellation was covered by the New York Times as well as international newspapers, and it eventually took place under the auspices of Heterodox Academy. (You can watch the entire event here.) Scheduled for the Sunday afternoon “dead zone” of the five-day conference, when many attendees leave for the airport, the title was “Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby: Why biological sex remains a necessary analytic category in anthropology.” The lineup was all-female, and included the anthropologists Kathleen Lowrey and Elizabeth Weiss. According to the session description, “With research foci from hominin evolution to contemporary artificial intelligence, from the anthropology of education to the debates within contemporary feminism about surrogacy, panelists make the case that while not all anthropologists need to talk about sex, baby, some absolutely do.”
Nothing evidently objectionable here, so why was it cancelled? The official letter announcing that the session had been removed from the program, signed by the presidents of the AAA and CASCA (the Canadian Anthropology Society), explained:
The reason the session deserved further scrutiny was that the ideas were advanced in such a way as to cause harm to members represented by the Trans and LGBTQI of the anthropological community as well as the community at large.
Why “the Trans” were double-counted (the T in LGBTQI) was not clear. And although ideas can harm, a handful of academics speaking in the Toronto Convention Centre are unlikely to cause much. In any event, the authors of “Biology is not binary” seem to think that the panelists’ errors about sex warranted the cancellation, not the trauma their words would bring to vulnerable anthropologists. “We were glad,” they say, “to see the American Anthropological Association course-correct given the inaccuracy of the panelists’ arguments.”
Never mind that no-one had heard the panelists’ arguments—what were these “inaccuracies”? The panelists, Clancy and her co-authors report, had claimed that “sex is binary,” and that “male and female represent an inflexible and infallible pair of categories describing all humans.”
“Biology is not binary” is not off to a promising start. Only one of the cancelled panelists, Weiss, has said anything about sex being binary in her talk abstract, and even that was nuanced: “skeletons are binary; people may not be.” No one had claimed that the two sex categories were “inflexible” or “infallible,” which anyway doesn’t make sense. (This is one example of the essay’s frequent unclarity of expression.) Neither had anyone claimed that every single human falls into one sex category or the other.
Probably the real reason the proposed panel caused such a stir was that it was perceived (in Clancy et al.’s own words) as “part of an intentional gender-critical agenda.” And, to be fair, some of the talks were “gender-critical,” for instance Silvia Carrasco’s. (Carrasco’s views have made her a target of activists at her university in Barcelona.) Still, academics can’t credibly cancel a conference session simply because a speaker defends ideas that bother some people, hence the trumped-up charges of harm and scientific error.
Although Clancy et al. misleadingly characterize the content of the cancelled AAA session, their essay might yet get something important right. They argue for four main claims. First, “sex is not binary.” Second, “sex is culturally constructed.” Third, “defining sex is difficult.” And, fourth, there is no one all-purpose definition of sex—it depends “on what organism is being studied and what question is being asked.”
Let’s go through these in order.
“Sex is not binary”
When people say that sex is binary, they sometimes mean that there are exactly two sexes, male and female. Sometimes they mean something else: the male/female division cuts humanity into two non-overlapping groups. That is, every human is either male (and not female), or female (and not male). These two interpretations of “Sex is binary” are different. Perhaps there are exactly two sexes, but there are some humans who are neither male nor female, or who are both sexes simultaneously. In that scenario, sex is binary according to the first interpretation, but not binary according to the second. Which of the two interpretations do Clancy et al. have in mind?
At least the essay is clear on this point. The “Quick Take” box on the first page tells us that the (false) binary thesis is that “male and female [are] the only two possible sex categories.” And in the text the authors say that “plenty of evidence has emerged to reject” the hypothesis that “there are only two sexes.” (Here they mystifyingly add “…and that they are discrete and different.” Obviously if there are two sexes then they are different.)
If there are not exactly two sexes, then the number of sexes is either zero, one, or greater than two. Since Clancy et al. admit that “categories such as ‘male’ and ‘female’…can be useful,” they must go for the third option: there are more than two sexes. But how many? Three? 97? In a striking absence of curiosity, the authors never say.
In any case, what reason do Clancy et al. give for thinking that the number of sexes is at least three? The argument is in this passage:
[D]ifferent [“sex-defining”] traits also do not always line up in a person’s body. For example, a human can be born with XY chromosomes and a vagina, or have ovaries while producing lots of testosterone. These variations, collectively known as intersex, may be less common, but they remain a consistent and expected part of human biology. So the idea that there are only two sexes…[has] plenty of evidence [against it].
However, this reasoning is fallacious. The premise is that some (“intersex”) people do not have enough of the “sex-defining” traits to be either male or female. The conclusion is that there are more than two sexes. The conclusion only follows if we add an extra premise, that these intersex people are not just neither male nor female, but another sex. And Clancy et al. do nothing to show that intersex people are another sex.
What’s more, it is quite implausible that any of them are another sex. Whatever the sexes are, they are reproductive categories. People with the variations noted by Clancy et al. are either infertile, for example those with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS) (“XY chromosomes and a vagina”), or else fertile in the usual manner, for example many with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) and XX chromosomes (“ovaries while producing lots of testosterone,” as Clancy et al. imprecisely put it). One study reported normal pregnancy rates among XX CAH individuals. Unsurprisingly, the medical literature classifies these people as female. Unlike those with CAIS and CAH, people who belonged to a genuine “third sex” would make their own special contribution to reproduction.
“Sex is culturally constructed”
“Biology is not binary” fails to establish that there are more than two sexes. Still, the news that sex is “culturally constructed” sounds pretty exciting. How do Clancy et al. argue for that?
There is a prior problem. Nowhere do Clancy et al. say what “Sex is culturally constructed” means. What’s more, the essay thoroughly conflates the issue of the number of sexes with the issue about cultural construction. Whatever “cultural construction” means, presumably culture could “construct” two sexes. (The Buddhas of Bamiyan in Afghanistan were literally constructed, and there were exactly two of them.) Conversely, the discovery of an extra sex would not show that sex was culturally constructed, any more than the discovery of an extra flavor of quark would show that fundamental particles are culturally constructed.
Clancy et al. drop a hint at the start of the section titled “Sex is Culturally Constructed.” “Definitions and signifiers of gender,” they say, “differ across cultures… but sex is often viewed as a static, universal truth.” (If you want to know what they mean by “gender,” you’re out of luck.) That suggests that the cultural construction of sex amounts to the “definitions and signifiers” of sex differing between times and places. This is confirmed by the following passage: “[T]here is another way we can see that sex is culturally constructed: The ways collections of traits are interpreted as sex can and have differed across time and cultures.” What’s more, in an article called “Is sex socially constructed?”, Clune-Taylor says that this (or something close to it) is one sense in which sex is socially constructed (i.e. culturally constructed).
The problem here is that “Sex is culturally constructed” (as Clancy et al. apparently understand “cultural construction”) is almost trivially true, and not denied by anyone. If “X is culturally constructed” means something like “Ideas of X and theories of X change between times and places,” then almost anything which has preoccupied humans will be culturally constructed. Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are culturally constructed: the ancients thought they revolved around the Earth and represented different gods. Dinosaurs are culturally constructed: our ideas of them are constantly changing, and are influenced by politics as well as new scientific discoveries. Likewise, sex is culturally constructed: Aristotle thought that in reproduction male semen produces a new embryo from female menstrual blood, as “a bed comes into being from the carpenter and the wood.” We now have a different theory.
Naturally one must distinguish the claim that dinosaurs are changing (they used to be covered only in scales, now they have feathers) from the claim that our ideas of dinosaurs are changing (we used to think that dinosaurs only have scales, now we think they have feathers). It would be fallacious to move from the premise that dinosaurs are culturally constructed (in Clancy et al.’s sense) to the conclusion that dinosaurs themselves have changed, or that there are no “static, universal truths” about dinosaurs. It would be equally fallacious to move from the premise that sex is culturally constructed to the claim that there are no “static, universal truths” about sex. (One such truth, for example, is that there are two sexes.) Nonetheless, Clancy et al. seem to commit exactly this fallacy, in denying (as they put it) that “sex is…a static, universal truth.”
To pile falsity on top of fallacy, when Clancy et al. give an example of how our ideas about sex have changed, their choice could hardly be more misleading. According to them:
The prevailing theory from classical times into the 19th century was that there is only one sex. According to this model, the only true sex is male, and females are inverted, imperfect distortions of males.
This historical account was famously defended in a 1990 book, Making Sex, by the UC Berkeley historian Thomas Laqueur. What Clancy et al. don’t tell us is that Laqueur’s history has come under heavy criticism; in particular, it is politely eviscerated at length in The One-Sex Body on Trial, by the classicist Helen King. It is apparent from Clune-Taylor’s other work that she knows of King’s book, which makes Clancy et al.’s unqualified assertion of Laqueur’s account even more puzzling.
“Defining sex is difficult”
Aristotle knew there were two sexes without having a satisfactory definition of what it is to be male or female. The question of how to define sex (equivalently, what sex is) should be separated from the question of whether sex is binary. So even if Clancy et al. are wrong about the number of sexes, they might yet be right that sex is difficult to define.
Why do they think it is difficult to define? Here’s their reason:
There are many factors that define sex, including chromosomes, hormones, gonads, genitalia, and gametes (reproductive cells). But with so many variables, and so much variation within each variable, it is difficult to pin down one definition of sex.
Readers of Reality’s Last Stand will be familiar with the fact that chromosomes and hormones (for example) do not define sex. The sex-changing Asian sheepshead wrasse does not change its chromosomes. Interestingly, the sex hormones (androgens and estrogens) are found in plants, although they do not appear to function as hormones. How could the over-educated authors have written that “there are many factors that define sex,” without a single one of them objecting?
That question is particularly salient because the textbook account of sex is in Clancy et al.’s very own bibliography. In the biologist Joan Roughgarden’s Evolution’s Rainbow there’s a section called “Male and Female Defined.” If you crack the book open, you can’t miss it.
Roughgarden writes:
To a biologist, “male” means making small gametes, and “female” means making large gametes. Period! By definition, the smaller of the two gametes is called a sperm, and the larger an egg. Beyond gamete size, biologists don’t recognize any other universal difference between male and female.
“Making” does not mean currently producing, but (something like) has the function to make. Surely one of Clancy et al. must have read Roughgarden’s book! (Again from her other work we know that Clune-Taylor has.) To avoid going round and round this depressing mulberry bush again, let’s leave it here.
“Sex is defined in a lot of ways in science”
Perhaps sex is not a single thing, and there are different definitions for the different kinds of sex. The standard gamete-definition of sex is useful for some purposes; other researchers will find one of the alternative definitions more productive. Clancy et al. might endorse this conciliatory position. They certainly think that a multiplicity of definitions is good scientific practice: “In science, how sex is defined for a particular study is based on what organism is being studied and what question is being asked.”
Leaving aside whether this fits actual practice, as a recommendation it is wrong-headed. Research needs to be readily compared and combined. A review paper on sexual selection might draw on studies of very different species, each asking different questions. If the definition of sex (male and female) changes between studies, then synthesizing the data would be fraught with complications and potential errors, because one study is about males/females-in-sense-1, another is about males/females-in-sense-2, and so on.
Indeed, “Biology is not binary” itself shows that the authors don’t really believe that “male” and “female” are used in science with multiple senses. They freely use “sex,” “male,” and “female” without pausing to disambiguate, or explain just which of the many alleged senses of these words they have in mind. If “sex is defined a lot of ways in science” then the reader should wonder what Clancy et al. are talking about.
In an especially odd passage, they write that the “criteria for defining sex will differ in studies of mushrooms, orangutans, and humans.” That is sort-of-true for mushrooms, which mate using mating types, not sperm and eggs. (Mating types are sometimes called “sexes,” but sometimes not.) However, it’s patently untrue for orangutans and humans, as the biologist Jerry Coyne points out.
Orangutans had featured earlier in the saga of the AAA cancellation, when Clancy and Fuentes had bizarrely suggested that the “three forms of the adult orangutan” present a challenge to the “sex binary,” seemingly forgetting that these three forms comprise females and two kinds of males. Kathleen Lowrey had some fun at their expense.
As if this tissue of confusion isn’t enough, Clancy et al. take one final plunge off the deep end. After mentioning osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, they write:
[P]eople experiencing similar sex-related conditions may not always fit in the same sex category. Consider polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common metabolic condition affecting about 8 to 13 percent of those with ovaries, which often causes them to produce more androgens than those without this condition. There are increasing numbers of people with PCOS who self-define as intersex, whereas others identify as female.
They seem to believe that two people with PCOS might not “fit in the same sex category.” That is, one person could be female while the other isn’t, with this alchemy accomplished by “self-definition.” PCOS, in case you were wondering, is a condition that only affects females or, in the approved lingo of the Cleveland Clinic, “people assigned female at birth.”
How could four accomplished and qualified professors produce such—not to mince words—unadulterated rubbish?
There are many social incentives these days for denouncing the sex binary, and academics—even those at the finest universities—are no more resistant to their pressure than anyone else. However, unlike those outside the ivory tower, academics have a powerful arsenal of carefully curated sources and learned jargon, as well as credentials and authority. They may deploy their weapons in the service of—as they see it—equity and inclusion for all.
It would be “bad science,” Clancy et al. write at the end, to “ignore and exclude” “individuals who are part of nature.” In this case, though, Clancy et al.’s firepower is directed at established facts, and the collateral damage may well include those people they most want to help.

Not only does it mean you would be a different sex in a different society/culture, but it becomes necessary that cross-cultural/cross-societal reproduction is fraught with complications.

Dungeon of Sult: Ruby Finale Part 2
Ruby riding the brutal and fulfilling pleasure of having her asshole being stretched and fucked by the three cocks of her teammates. All working together to fuck their slut of a leader as if this was completely normal, that they had always done thid.
Weiss, Blake and Yang moaned as they thrust into Ruby. Abusing her hole for their pleasure.
"Nngh! Aaah! I'm getting close!" Blake moaned out.
"Me too! Yang?"
"Together team!"
With one hard thrust, all three began to unleash their load into Ruby's asshole. Flooding her insides completely in white creamy substance.
"Geesh. What a mess~" Weiss giggled.
"Better clean this up, Rubes," Yang chuckled as Ruby's asshole was gushing cum while she laid in a pool of the cum she collected.
"Having fun girls?" A familiar voice spoke up.
"Oh, hey mom!" Yang greeted.
Standing down the hall, fully naked but no futa cock present, was Summer Rose. Smiling at the scene before her as if she was actually proud of what Ruby had done.
Tears pried in the corner of her eyes, hearing a voice she had almost forgotten despite loving so much. Ruby couldn't believe her eyes as they laid upon the naked figure of her mother. "M-Mom!" Ruby cried out as he tackled her mother in a hug, uncaring of their appearances, or her oozing, gaping anus. "Aww, how adorable. You missed mommy, didn't you?~" Summer purred, in a way no mother should talk to their child. Ruby was completely oblivious to it, too ecstatic to see her mother again. "Of course I did!" Ruby exclaimed, before a wave of shame and naughty memories hit her. "M-mom, I-I'm sorry, I-I'm..." "What? A naughty, little slut?" "M-Mom?!" "Oh baby, don't take it the wrong way... You're just being yourself, it's alright. I'm proud of you for being who you are~." Summer said, a mixture of sweetness and judgement in her voice, which confused Ruby's poor little pink head greatly. "A-a slut? I..." "That's right, now then... Don't you want to be a good slut for mommy?" Summer asked before plunging her tongue into Ruby's mouth, not actually caring about her opinion. Despite not having a cock like her teammates, it was clear who the top bitch was. Summer was dominating Ruby's mouth in incestuous delight. She sucked on her tongue, explored her wet cavity, even spit in her mouth. Her wandering hands meanwhile found Ruby's massive rear, cupping her cheeks, spanking them teasingly and even fingering her butt among the creamy goodness. Ruby's head was an absolute mess from all this. Her mother, her own flesh in blood, which she thought was dead for years, was having an intense, incestual, lesbian makeout session with her. Right after calling her a slut, and she LOVED it. When Summer pulled out from her, a naughty string of saliva still connected their mouth, both panting. Summer smiled at her daughter, before giving her a quick lick on the tongue. "There's a good girl~. Now, didn't your sister say to clean your mess?" Ruby gulped at that, a mixture of her mother and her own saliva, a sweet sinful nectar. She looked down at the mess in question, the ever-growing pool of semen that was still leaking out of her anus. Between her mother's kind but lustful look and her equally horny teammates all around her, Ruby succumbed to her desire and peer pressure. She lowered herself to her hands and knees, and started lapping at the cum like a dog. Loving both the taste and humiliation. "Good girl~" Summer purred as she lowered herself to Ruby's swaying butt, giving a nice, long peck on Ruby's rosebud. Getting an approximate taste as to what Ruby was currently drinking.

Lyrics:
I've been trying to let it go
But these butterflies I can't ignore
'Cause every time that I look at you
Know we're in a Catch 22
We've been friends for so long but I
Need to tell you what's on my mind
I'm sick and tired of playing games
'Cause I know that you feel the same
I know you inside out
So I'm asking now
Take a chance on me
How much clearer can I be?
Hey, boy, whatcha gonna do?
If you want me like I want you
Then man up and make your move
I'm gold, gold
You, me, good as can be
Want to be more than your company
So bet your money on me
I'm gold, gold
Do I really need to spell it out?
My heart skips when you're around
I got everything that you need
So come on baby, get close to me
So confused that I'm not surprised
From girl to girl, I've seen ya roll the dice
Know all your moves, dont know why I fall
Should put me out, but I want it all
I know you inside out
So I'm asking now
Take a chance on me
How much clearer can I be?
I'm gold, gold
Hey, boy, whatcha gonna do?
If you want me like I want you
Then man up and make your move
I'm gold, gold
You, me, good as can be
Want to be more than your company
So bet your money on me
I'm gold, gold
I'm gold, gold
Been too cool just to tell you straight out
But by now I wish you figured it out
I wish you figured it out, I wish you figured it out
I wish ya (I wish ya, I wish ya...)
You're not a fool, you see what I'm about
So by now I think you figured it out
I think you figured it out, I think you figured it out
I think ya
Hey, boy, whatcha gonna do?
If you want me like I want you
Then man up and make your move
I'm gold, gold
You, me, good as can be
Want to be more than your company
So bet your money on me
I'm gold, gold

Are those guys also experiments like Sephiroth?
They're experiments yes, tho not really related to Sephiroth directly.
My lore is a bit fuzzy on that because i haven't touched Dirge of Cerberus content in forever, but basically, they come from DeepGround.
DeepGround started out as soon as Shinra started (so a long time before the experiments made around Sephiroth were even put into motion), first as a medical facility, and eventually this became the place wounded Soldiers would be sent... and never return, as they would be experimented on to be made loyal monsters for Shinra.
They are much more tied to Vincent Valentine, because it's Vincent's father, Grimoire Valentine, who actually pioneered the thesis that were used to experiment on those soldiers, mainly, the way to infuse Mako into people to develop their inner strength. Hojo eventually took the lead of this section, and used his power and abuse to pull the same experiments on Vincent, and it's why Vincent can transform into a monster.
And timeline wise the thing to understand here is that Vincent got made into a monster when Lucrecia was pregnant with Sephiroth -- so the Project S was in the move but not yet bore fruit when Vincent was experimented on, which would imply that the rest of DeepGround's experiments have been developed before the start of the experiments around Jenova in particular (esp since Project S was the second project after Project G, but still).
However another layer that.... the original game timeline wasn't really clear about and i feel like the remake isn't going to help making clearer lmao, is that it seems Deep Ground took the body of Genesis, one of the Project G Jenova experiment, and retrieved him for Deep Ground. Some lore books imply that then Genesis' cells would have been used on Deep Ground's soldier, and it's why Genesis comes to retrieve Weiss' body at the end of Dirge of Cerberus. (which.... is confusing esp when DOC was released before CC and this didn't answer anything for anyone)
Anyway DeepGround was also a place where they made a lot of experimentations on featus and babies and also on regular Soldiers, and they were deployed last during the Wutai War, but following the War, seeing them as unstable, Shinra brought them back in their labs and sedated them.
This is about where the Crisis Core Timeline starts and we know from CC that Reeve got tricked into building a whole extention to DeepGrounds under false pretenses (and he asks Zack to help him which is. oh god dramatic irony.). Then the only other mention of DeepGround we have is that it's Weiss and Nero who were sent to retrieve Genesis' body at the end of CC, tho that would contradict the idea they were officially made prisoners by the end of the Wutai war, but if anything about Genesis involvement in Deep Ground made sense we wouldn't be here today discussing it.
so yeah the answer is, yes they're experiments, no they're not based on the Jenova researches, but the experiment branches overlap a little, basically
if i recall my lore well at least!!

So I had an idea, can I request team rwby with an s/o who is just prepared for anything and just a generally great detective. Like they have backup plans for their backup plans. Their is almost no situation they are not prepared for. Ruby got her hand stuck in a Pringles can? Guess what, knew that would happen one day here's some spray I made to make your hand slippery. Figured out blake was a faunus in under 2 minutes. Playing chess with them would be a nightmare.
Sorry if I didn't answered this one! Don't worry Smokey here is going to try and get these Requests done! And I had so much fun writing this! I wouldn't mind making a sequel or trilogy. Oh maybe a quadoligy.
Team Rwby with a detective Reader.
Tumblr media
You come from a long line of Amazing detectives!
Ozpin requested you to join his academy, it was because you found the culprit who destroyed his beautiful Coffee machine.
You were part of team DTEV [Detective], how ironic right?
Until some red hooded girl screamed.
"My Beautiful Crescent Rose, Who stained pink paint on my beautiful baby!"
Arching a brow as you approach the 'Crime scene', assessing the situation with your semblance Detective Mode.
"Now let's see, the victim is a scythe...by the design it's handmade and it's possibly a High-Impack 50 Calibre...wait, No...it's an 80 Calibre Sniper Rifle!" Looking around to see any clues, you pulled out your pen and notepad and approached the Red headed girl as your Reddish Orange coloured eyes furrowed as she looks at you.
"Hello miss, my name is Y/n Vermilion, son of Detective Sherlock Vermilion and I am here to solve the case of.....The stained Scythe!" Dun! Dun! Dun! Duuuuuuun!
Cue you trying to solve a damn case of someone possibly spilling paint on Ruby's scythe.
It took you 8hours, 34 minutes and 23 seconds to find the culprit and it was a student from team LOVE.
Ruby thanked you for Avenging her precious crescent rose.
Cue Ruby telling her friend's about you.
Which causes you to be apart of their whacky group of friends.
You and your team are practically the go to squad in case something happens.
Ruby got BOTH her hands stuck in two Pringle cans! Not to worry, you already figured that would happen.
You, JNRP and RWBY were stuck in a dead end as a approaching Horse was coming as your back-up plan had failed (which was Rare and you knew it was going to happen). So you looked at anything that could be useful for you and it clicked.
"since we're going to die, Pyrrha I'll shall confess your love to a certain someone" which causes the sparten huntress to look at you with fear as you smiled. Then you faced Weiss "you couldn't even stopped making three mistakes in your strikes, what would your sister think." Weiss glared at you, you looked at Yang as she stared at you with confusion. "What?" She asked, you shrugged "the Grimm are probably going to go for your hair." You slowly backed away as you watched the three girls launched at the Grimm horde as you looked at your invisible watch "aaaaaannnnd End scene!" You smiled as the Grimm horde was now dealt with....Now it's time to run!
You already figured out that Blakes a freakin Faunus. Which doesn't take an idiot to figure that out but it literally took almost and entire school semester for everyone who are friends with Blake to find out.
I mean she does like to eat alot of tuna and reads in the dark! Heck you saw her bow twitch.
"I'm a Faunus." Blake said looking at your Stoic face, while you dusted your mother's old trench coat and pulled the collar upwards as you began walking away. "Kinda figured that out, now C'mon I have Curfew to follow." Cue everyone doing a cliche anime collapsing to the ground moment.
Playing chess against you, is a literal nightmare!
You figured them out without even setting the game up.
And it's not just chess, but boardgames too!
No one can defeat you....well except Ruby and Nora.
Nora is terrifying and hyperactive to the point that you can't tell what's she's thinking to the point she beats you in the damn game.
You let Ruby win because you don't have the heart to beat a girl who's giving her all against someone who's just barely half-assing it.
Ruby challenge you to a game of card's against Remnant with a twist, if Ruby loses she can't eat any cookies for a damn month! But if you lose then you have to do everything she says. And you decided what the heck, you'll play.
Ruby was team vacuo and you were team Atlas. You were beating her within five turns and you could easily win the game in three turns or less. But, she was trying her hardest and looked like she didn't want to go out without eating a month's worth of cookies, and you were just barely putting any damn effort.
So you threw the match by playing the wrong card on purpose and rolling the dice to give you a bad score and gave Ruby the automatic win.
"HAH! I won! Guess a detective can't win against a cards against Remnant pro!" Ruby exclaimed as she looks at you with a smug look on her face, you rolled your eyes with a sly smirk on your face.
"you won fair and square toots, now what should I do for you since you won, hm?" You asked as Ruby puts some thought about it, before her face turns into a bright red colour as she leans forward and tilts her head sideways. "As the winner, I would like you to kiss me on the cheeks and take me out on a date!"
For the first time in your life, you were surprised by that request and didn't predicted Ruby to request those two things.
With a smile you gave the scythe wielding Girl a kiss on the cheeks and asked her on a date. Which she automatically agreed to.
Fun fact! Your weapon is a cane that can convert into a bladed whip. You also own some sort of old gun from the 80s.
You and Ruby's combo+ship name is called RoseNoir or Black Beauty Rose cause it's basically the noir of Roses.
Your semblance is called Detective Vison it works similarly like Batman's Detective Mode from the Arkham Games.
Vermilion is a Reddish Orange colour and Y/n is based on those old black and white Detective shows.

hi can i request the maurauders going to see the reader do a musical like heathers or mean girls and they are just confused and turned on bc they didn't expect it to be this dirty (can lead to smut or not). luv you and hope you are taking care of yourself, if not go get something to eat, drink some water, take a nap, or do somthing you enjoy. or dont not trying to be pushy :)
Creature of the Night || Poly!Marauders
Word Count: 3029 (excluding song lyrics)
A/N: I think I liked how this turned out? I didn’t make it smut but it’s certainly suggestive, I went with Rocky Horror, I know that the musicals mentioned in the request are more modern but I fucking love Rocky Horror and I think it works with the request. When I first read this request I smiled so much because I love live theater, I don’t perform as much as I used to because as I progress with my education I’m focusing more on the stuff I can use to pad my resumes for college and stuff but I still love going to see productions. One of the worst parts of the pandemic for me has been not being able to go see shows, I miss it so much.
Warnings: theatre enthusiast reader, erections, suggestive material, song lyrics, slight teasing, wearing very little clothing in front of an audience, I believe that that is it

antici-
The magic of the stage was second to none. Sure, Hogwarts may have had witches and wizards, subjects like Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts, and ghosts that spent their time meandering about the halls but there was always a part of you that looked forward to the summer between your years at Hogwarts. Because no matter how magical Hogwarts was, the theater always made you feel completely and utterly alive. 
Every summer since the one after your first year at what all of your muggle friends thought to be a very prestigious boarding school up in Scotland, you’d taken part in your local youth theater’s productions. Your parents both being muggles thought that it would be a great way for you to be able to stay in touch with your muggle origins. 
The first year you’d been far too nervous to actually audition for a role, the very thought causing bile to churn in your stomach and threaten to make you sick all over your kitchen floor when your father first pitched the idea. So instead you’d done costumes and it was the most wonderful experience of your life. 
Who needed drugs when you had live theater? The hustle and bustle behind the scenes was electrifying but after two summers of costuming, of quick changes in the wings, learning how to use the ancient sewing machines they stored in the depths of the storage rooms, and pulling pieces for the actors to try on you decided that you wanted to try something more.
The moment you had stepped onto the stage it was like you’d come to life and you cursed yourself for not taking the risk earlier. You belonged on the stage, with the harsh stage lights on you and pounds of makeup plastered onto your face you could feel the magic thrumming through your veins and it was addicting.
If it was possible, you were even more excited to perform this summer, the previous school year you’d finally gotten together with your long time best friends the Marauders, turning them from friends to your boyfriends.
When your mother had sent word of the production being put on this summer you’d squealed while seated next to James and across from Remus, who had Sirius hanging off of his side. After explaining to them, mostly Sirius and James really, just what live theater was their first reaction was to ask if they could come see you perform.
“I don’t even know if I’m going to be cast,” You had explained gently, not wanting to get their hopes up in case you weren’t cast this year.
“Bull shit of course you’re going to be the cast,” Sirius had contested through a mouthful of jam and toast, waving his hand theatrically through the air, watching him that day was not the first time you’d considered how the way he acted often reminded you of an over enthusiastic theatre major.
Remus, the only one with any knowledge on muggle theatre had snorted, wrapping an arm around Sirius’ waist to pull him closer to his body, “She’s not going to be the cast Pads, she’s going to be casted,” He’d corrected gently, pressing a kiss into his long, dark tresses.
“Whatever,” The smaller boy had grumbled, taking a sip of pumpkin juice.
Which brought you to where you were right now, five minutes to curtain touching up your make up in the mirror of the shared make-up room.
“Hey (L/N),” One of your cast mates called settling into the makeup chair next to you as she plucked a tube of dark red lipstick from the small canary colored makeup bag she had previously abandoned on the counter, “Your boyfriends coming tonight?” She asked, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.
“Yeah, they are,” You responded, applying mascara to your lashes.
“Excited to meet them, that photo you showed us,” She smiled, fanning her face with her hand, “Smoking,” She smiled, making eye contact with you in the mirror.
Rolling your eyes you ignored her comment, “It’s five minutes to curtain, you’re just now doing your make-up?” You chuckled, noticing her black face.
“Oh, shove it,” She laughed as you pushed yourself from your chair, traipsing out of the room, giving her the middle finger on your way out.
“Break a leg!” She called after you as the door latched shut.
You weren’t usually this nervous before a performance but knowing that your three boyfriends were sitting out there somewhere in the audience had you pacing back and forth backstage wondering what they were going to think of the whole production.
“Rocky Horror?” Sirius’ confusion evident in his voice as he plopped down in his seat next to Remus, throwing his arm around the werewolf’s shoulders, drumming his fingers on his clothed shoulder hidden behind his knitted cardigan.
“Yeah,” James collapsed into his chair on the other side of Remus, tucking one leg under his body, “No clue what it’s about but I’m sure our angel will be wonderful. Can you guys see her?” He straightened himself up in his seat, craning his neck in attempts to catch a glimpse of you.
Remus being the only one with any ties to the muggle world knew a bit about the show and had to do his very best to suppress a smirk from overtaking his face as he knew exactly what he and your other two boyfriends were getting themselves into. 
��Just hush up you two, the show’s gonna start any moment,” He scolded, patting his large, scarred hand on James’ thigh, giving it a gentle squeeze.
“Rem,” Sirius whined, puckering his lips and closing his eyes, signaling to his boyfriend that he wanted a kiss.
“My needy baby,” He crooned, leaning in to connect his lips with Sirius’ in a quick liplock before pulling back, allowing Sirius to drop his forehead to smear against his shoulder.
“That’s mean,” Sirius murmured discontentedly.
“Poor baby Pads,” James cooed mockingly.
“Both of you,” Remus hissed as the lights in the theatre dimmed, “The show’s about to start, be good for me and be quiet yeah?”
Their response came in their silence as the crowd started settling down and the music from the orchestra pit began a voice coming from somewhere out of sight as it was played through the speakers,
“Michael Rennie was ill
The day the earth stood still
But he told us where we stand”
Not 20 minutes into the show all three of them were as hard as rocks, James had already made Remus check the playbill for the name of the character you were playing, not being able to remember what you’d told them as all of his concentration was focused on a certain place.
Janet Weiss.
Remus couldn’t remember either, but he was almost certain that’s the name he could make out in the dark theatre, printed next to a picture of your smiling face.
When you’d stripped down to your underwear the boys could barely focus on the plot line of the show, only being able to watch the way your bare skin shone under the harsh light of the spotlights. Watching as sweat glistened on your skin, making you shine as you moved about the stage. 
Enchanted by the melodic cadence of your voice they all felt a certain jealousy burning deep in the pits on their stomachs at the thought that there were dozens of other people packed into that theater, all observing you in your vulnerable state of under dress. Only they got to see you like that.
Sirius missed much of the first act glaring at members of the audience who he deemed as looking at you for too long for his liking, but if you were being honest a 4th year smiling at you in the hallway was sometimes too long for his liking.
It wasn’t like any of them had never seen you naked before, in fact they’d all seen you naked more than their fair share of times but something about you on that stage in a white bra with a matching slip was driving them all crazy.
Especially Remus, whose ultimate weakness was seeing you in anything white which was one of the reasons you’d been so excited to invite them in the first place, knowing that they would be horny messes the entire time.
On stage you did your very best not to look out into the audience looking for them, knowing that you wouldn’t be able to stop a ginormous grin from forming on your face and you couldn’t afford to break character. Not if you wanted the night to go your way.
As the opening notes to “Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me”, rose from the orchestra pit you had trouble stopping a small smirk from pulling at your lips as you opened them, inhaling deeply before singing the first words of the song,
“I was feeling done in, couldn't win
I'd only ever kissed before”
Despite yourself you caught a glimpse of long dark hair in the audience, quickly taking a glance at Sirius’ face, eyes glazed over in lust, legs shifting uncomfortably with his mouth hanging wide open. 
Out of the corner of your eye you noticed another raven-haired boy’s mouth dropping as you shrugged off of your robe
“I thought there’s no use getting, into heavy petting
It only leads to trouble and, seat wetting
Now all I want to know, is how to go
I've tasted blood and I want more”
It was impossible to miss the way Remus’ jaw clenched as you laid your palm against Rocky’s chest, he was being played by your good friends who’d been working with the same theatre company as you since forever, he was like a brother to you. But that didn’t mean you couldn’t lay it on extra thick tonight with your boyfriends in the audience.
Tracing a dainty finger down Rocky’s chest you pushed your body against his singing out the next lyrics of the song,
“I've got an itch to scratch, I need assistance”
You turned you and your cast mate so that looking over his shoulder you were able to meet Remus’ eye, sending him a quick wink before focusing back in on Rocky.
“Toucha, toucha, toucha, touch me
I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Creature of the night”
Pressing your back up against Rocky’s chest you guided his hands with yours to your breasts, squeezing them as you followed the choreography you knew by heart.
You ripped your slip from your body with the help of Rocky leaving you in only your white bra, matching panties and a pair of small heels as you paraded around stage, belting the suggestive lyrics into the theater.
“Then if anything grows, while you pose
I'll oil you up and rub you down (down, down, down)
And that’s just one small fraction, of the main attraction
You need a friendly hand, oh i need action”
You smirked, thinking about all of the action you’d be on the receiving end of later that night as you sunk to your knees in front of Rocky, your hands grasping his thighs. Deciding to tease them perhaps a little more than necessary as you went through the number, curling your leg around his and pressing your bodies together so that there was no space between your two questionably clothed bodies.
As the number was brought to a close it was impossible for you to ignore the excitement bubbling up inside of you as you continued your way through the show you kept throwing glances at your boyfriends, always finding their eyes already trained on you. More often than not, on some body part other than your face.
If your boyfriends thought that they had a bit of a problem before that song they were in a terrible predicament now.
Remus caught Sirius on multiple occasions trying to move the hand that he was holding to grope at his crotch as he tried to buck up into his boyfriend’s hand. And much to his own dismay, Remus would pull his hand away, thinking it probably wasn’t the best idea to give his boyfriend a hand job in a crowded theater. Knowing that he wouldn’t have to worry about James touching himself because he would never dream of disobeying him, Remus divided his attention between you on the stage and keeping Sirius in check.
Each of the boys were counting down the seconds until the show came to an end and they could get out of there and relieve some of their tension.  As the curtains were pulled closed they all breathed a sigh of relief before they reopened, leaving all three of them bewildered and slightly annoyed, even more so when they noticed everyone around them standing as they applauded the actors.
Remus forced both of them up when you rushed to the front of the stage, curtsying as the crowd went wild, your boyfriends most notably. As you took your bow you blew a kiss to your boyfriends taking note of the uncomfortable way they all stood, trying to adjust their erections to make them less noticeable while simultaneously applauding you.
As you cleared the stage after curtain call you took your time, doddling towards the dressing rooms where you had left the clothes you’d arrived at the theater in along with a special outfit you’d brought for after the show. Usually you were one of the first actors to clear the theater after a show but tonight you took your time. Hanging up your costume with more care than anyone really should treat any garment with and certainly more than what it needed. 
You smirked mischievously as you pulled the you’d brought outfit from your bag and shimmied it up your legs before slipping the delicate straps up your shoulders. You glimpsed yourself in the mirror, the red satin of the dress clinging to your curves in an attractive manner, short enough to display miles of legs and low cut enough to show off a decent amount of cleavage and perhaps a sighting of the matching red bra you were wearing beneath it.
Slinging the back of your black heels over the heel of your feet you snatched your purse from the armchair in your dressing room before striding out to go meet your boyfriends in the lobby, where you’d told them to wait for you.
Their heads all turned as they heard the clacking of your heels against the tile of the floor, “Boys,” You greeted as they unabashedly took in your new appearance.
As he most often was, Remus was the first one to collect himself, “Puppy, you were wonderful,” He praised, walking to meet you as you approached him, leaning down to smear a kiss against your cheek, “You did amazing up there, so proud of you,” He threw his arm around your waist as you walked towards Sirius and James.
“We got something for you,” He explained, his grip on your waist tightening, “Jamie give it to her, yeah?” 
“Oh yeah,” The smaller boy grinned, remembering the bouquet he held cradled in his arms as he handed it over to you, “Here you go angel.”
“Thank you Jamie,” You said as you took it from him, closing your eyes as you buried your nose in the sweet smelling flora. As you opened your eyes you made eye contact with Sirius, who stood across from you, practically drooling as he took in your appearance without any shame, “They smell wonderful.”
“You okay Si?” You asked, looking up through your eyelashes, batting them innocently.
“Like you don’t know exactly what you did up there to us (Y/N/N),” Remus whispered in your ear, pressing his nose into your temple.
“You guys are the ones who wanted to come,” You lilted, rubbing one of the velvety petals between the pads of your thumb and forefinger.
“Could’ve warned us,” James mumbled, his eyes not leaving your thighs as he licked his lips, if it were anyone else you would’ve been uncomfortable but you couldn’t help but feel flattered whenever any of them ogled you. 
“And what’s with the dress Pup?” Sirius nodded his head appreciatively towards your dress, obviously admiring the way it hung on your body.
“What, you don’t like it?” You asked with fake hurt in your voice, knowing that he more than liked it, he fucking loved it. 
“S’not that,” Remus mumbled, nosing at your jugular, “Just that whole show, got us a little bit worked up. We didn’t expect it to be so sexual Puppy,” He nodded towards James and that’s when you noticed the erection he was still sporting. 
“Got us really worked up, can we go home now?” James asked, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, trying to distract himself from his little problem.
“Jamie,” You whined, smiling wickedly, “I wanted to celebrate, I was thinking we could go eat somewhere, I was thinking maybe Thai food?”
You watched as Sirius ground his teeth, conflicted between needing to get home and not wanting to deny you from what you wanted. 
“Having fun teasing us Bunny?” Remus asked you with a sly smirk, knowing exactly what you were doing.
“M’not teasing,” You insisted, turning indignantly to your other boyfriend.
“Sure you aren’t,” He chuckled, “Thai sounds great (Y/N), wanna talk with you about the show,” The idea of teasing Sirius and James even longer was very appealing to Remus and he was ready to make the sacrifice of being teased himself, knowing that he’d be able to get back at you later that night.
“But-” James began.
“You wanna argue with me Jamie?” Remus challenged, raising a singular eyebrow.
“No,” He moped, “Of course not.”
“Good,” Remus said, nodding his head approvingly, “We wouldn’t wanna deny our Princess would we?”
James shook his head, eyes pleading, desperately seeking Remus’ approval.
“Pads?” Remus challenged, turning his attention to the other raven haired man.
“What? Oh um, of course not,” He agreed distractedly, dragging his eyes from your form to meet Remus’, his reluctance evident in his voice.
“Good,” Remus said pointedly, his eyes cold, daring Sirius to question him. When he didn’t the werewolf continued, “Let’s get going then, there’s a nice little restaurant a couple blocks away yeah?”
As you all hummed your consent you made your way to the exit, “Ten galleons if you can make James cum in his pants at dinner,” Remus whispered in your ear quietly enough so that  James and Sirius trailing behind you wouldn’t be able to hear you, you could hear the smirk in his voice as you exited the theatre.
“Deal.” This was going to be fun, you considered that you might have to invite them to come see the show again.

Yes, You Can Masturbate While Pregnant & Here Are 4 Reasons To Try It
You can pass go and collect your 200 in the sex department.
Kiarra Sylvester
May. 18, 2022 07:00AM EST
There seems to be a big question mark over our heads when it comes to sex during pregnancy. When ironically enough, the same way the baby got in is the same way it’s going to get out (in a lot of ways). A wise person said that to me – I just can’t recall who, so consider this to be a shoutout to a real one because in all actuality it’s true. 
While people tend to view sex as a very monolithic thing, in reality, oral sex is in fact sex and so is masturbation. With that said, it seems likely that there might be some confusion as to whether masturbation is 'acceptable' during pregnancy. And the answer is: YES! Yes, you can absolutely masturbate. More often than not all types of sex are welcome, however, some positions might require adaption.
There are exceptions to the rule and to be safe, you should absolutely double-check with your OB. But if you have a low-risk pregnancy without complications, it’s typically a safe bet that you can pass go and collect your 200 in the sex department. 
If everything checks out from your doctor, here are four benefits to masturbating while pregnant, according to experts.
1. Reduces Anxiety and Stress
Tumblr media
Giphy
The ease you wish to feel might be possible with the help of an orgasm or two. Clinical Sexologist and Sex, Intimacy, and Relationship Advisor Katie Lasson explains, "Not only is masturbation safe for the majority of pregnant women, but it can also be a great stress reliever. Masturbation when followed by orgasm releases the feel-good hormones such as oxytocin into our bodies. This helps to make us feel calm and relaxed. As an added bonus your unborn baby will also get the benefit of these feel-good hormones."
She adds, "A lot of women find that their libido increasesduring pregnancy so masturbation can be a great way to manage that. You may notice some mild cramping in your stomach after you reach orgasm but that is normal. If you experience any pain, seek medical help immediately. Some women also experience more intense orgasms when they're pregnant."
Tumblr media
2. Melatonin Vibes
Any parent will tell you that you should sleep as much as you can before the baby gets here. However, postpartum and the body changes experienced during each stage of your pregnancy can make sleeping well difficult. During the prenatal phase, one might find themselves coping with insomnia due to your belly growing and/or breast and body aches. And when you do finally get to sleep, you might experience nightmares that are said to be caused by the anxiety of bringing a child into this world. Trouble sleeping might also be coupled with a newfound ability to snore due to pregnancy rhinitis.
Due to the 'feel-good hormones' mentioned in the previous post, masturbation or bringing yourself to orgasm also makes for a better night’s sleep.
3. Inducing Overdue Babies
Suzannah Weiss, certified sex educator, sex/love coach, and trained doula, says, “If you're pregnant past your due date, masturbation (as well as partnered sex) can also be a way to bring on labor. Sexual pleasure, especially when it involves orgasm, releases oxytocin, which can stimulate labor contractions, and prostaglandins, which help the cervix dilate. The only thing to be careful about is not to insert anything into your vagina after your water breaks.”
Additionally, Weiss recommends trying the following items if you’re someone who has difficulty reaching where you need to be, to get where you want to go (if you catch my drift). "Sex toys such as wand vibrators may be helpful,” she begins, adding that a few other accessories, such as this pillow can also prove reliable for achieving orgasm.
4. Sense of Pre-Parent Self
Tumblr media
Giphy
You don't stop being a sexual or sensual being just because your journey is evolving into motherhood. Masturbation is a great way to remind yourself of who you are in the process of becoming more. “As a woman’s body changes during pregnancy, they may become more confident and feel more feminine and desirable – or less. Masturbation can help [those expecting] stay connected to their body and find ways to satisfy needs they may not be able to otherwise or like they were accustomed to before pregnancy. In turn, this can help her keep her sense of self during these changes,” according to the Director of Kiiroo’s Helen Zeal.
Before you partake in getting your solo sex session on, it is also worth noting that “in the third trimester of your pregnancy, sometimes orgasm after masturbation can increase the frequency of your Braxton Hicks contractions." Relationship Expert Psychologist and Sex Therapist Tatyana Dyachenko confirms that this occurrence is pretty normal. 
Without a doubt, there are some amazing benefits to masturbating during pregnancy. Let us know if you decide to try it.

In your opinion what is the most wholesome thing you can picture tempverse weiss and Rua doing
Now this is a couple I haven't gotten an ask for in a while! I'm glad someone did. And I have just the idea.
Nervous didn't exactly explain how Weiss was feeling right now. Anxious, terrified, about to break down! Those were the feelings that suited her current situation the most. And why? One may ask. The answer was rather simple, she was going to meet Rua's family.
Sure she'd met Jaune, her bumbling younger brother whom she was quite acquainted with.
Speaking of the boy, he'd apparently gone ahead and was waiting there for the big family get together.
"Are you sure this is going to be alright?"
Weiss couldn't help but fumble with her fingers, her true question hidden behind the simple wordplay.
Rua, thankfully, seemed to understand. "Of course." She felt strong arms pull her to the side, tightening into her shoulder and squeezing. "Weiss, my family will love you, just as much as I do. Look, it could be far worse."
"How?"
"You could be Pyrrha or May right now."
Weiss opened her mouth, rather confused by the statement... then memories of stories and pictures she'd seen came to mind. "Good point."
"Perks of being the only brother, especially one as sickly as he was. He gets doted upon quite fiercely."
Yes, Weiss had heard the stories of Jaune's childhood, much to the young man's chagrin.
Regardless, this wasn't about him, it was about her and Rua.
Eventually though, she had to give in and prepare herself to meet the family. She noted that Rua didn't bother knocking on the door, which of course wasn't surprising considering it was herhome.
And quite the home it was!
Weiss supposed it would have to be rather large to accommodate 9 individuals, but even then, she felt it nearly matched with her own mansion. Yet instead of the cold blues and whites, it was filled with vibrant shades of yellows, whites, reds, and even more lightly lit blues.
There were a mishmash of different styles, each most likely done for one member of the family.
"Greetings, I've returned."
Rua greeted out to no one in particular.
However, in a matter of seconds, Weiss heard the first thudding of the floor. The sounds of clammering voices and slamming feet soon began to rise as blonde after blonde poured into the room only for... Weiss blinked as she noticed the last of the children to enter. A young lady with dark black hair and skin as pale as her own.
She made note of it, but chose not to question, especially as she noted how close she was standing to her brother. Whom was surrounded by both of his fiances' each giving her a rather warm smile.
Weiss would have been lying if she had said she didn't have any preconceived notions about Rua's sisters. For some reason she was of the idea that each of them would be quite a bit taller than her. While it was true several of them were around Yang or Blake's height, none seemed to match Rua's splendid stature.
In fact, there were quite a few shorter girls, though perhaps that may have come from their age. She noted what appeared to be the two youngest girls, one of which gave her a cheeky smile, and the other seemed rather out of it, but smiling none the less.
There was the one hiding next to her brother.
An elder looking sister, at least she believed she was as she held an air of maturity, standing next to a rather beautiful dark skinned woman in glasses. Holding what appeared to be the most adorable baby in existence! It took Weiss a lot of her willpower not to freak out over the baby.
Then there was... well what Weiss thought were perhaps the two closest sisters to her own age. Both of which had... outrageous bodies. 'What do these girls eat?!'
She could only describe them as teenagers that she'd read about in several of Blake's books. Both peppy and happy but one was a bit more tomboyish in the way she held herself. She seemed perky enough but, wearing a simple t-shirt and some jeans as well as a few bandages and scratches across her body showed she'd just gotten roughed up, the dirt on her clothes didn't help.
The other one was eyeing her, as if she was thinking about something. She was dressed a bit more girly if you will, but there was something about he-
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Another woman stepped up to her, and despite her size! She was actually Weiss' height. Weiss could do nothing but call her a woman. She didn't look young, but she wasn't by any means old. No she had a rather mature beauty to her despite her stature which... which again reminded her of herself. Except she noted, hidden behind the long sleeves which gripped her arms and legs tightly, was the vestiges of toned muscle.
Weiss swallowed a nervous knot and held out her hand.
"Greetings, I'm uhm... I'm Weiss Schnee, I'm currently dating you Rua."
There was a bit of silence as the woman before her took note, only for a small smile to split her face in half.
"Good girl! You have manners as well."
The woman held out her hand, grasping Weiss' into her own and closing into a firm handshake. One that Weiss immediately noted was stronger than even Yang or Nora's! However, the handshake didn't last long as she was suddenly pulled into a hug and lifted into the air.
"It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm Theodora Arc, you may call me Theo or mama if you'd so prefer!"
"Eep!"
Weiss felt the life being squeezed out of her all the while the woman simply did not let her go. Rua herself was having a good ol chuckle on her behalf.
"And this, is my husband Trevor."
Weiss blinked, as Theo finally let her go, only for her to realize something. Trevor was in front of her, but she hadn't noticed him till now... how had she not noticed him till now?!
She had to look up at what she could only describe as a building of a man stood towering above the rest of the family, his head nearly touching the ceiling as he held out his hand. He was a girthy individual, wide birthed belly but with arms that wouldn't lose out to the widest of oak!
She could now see where Rua got her... well everything from!
"It's sensational to meet you." Though his voice was loud and booming, it was gentle, kind, and heart warming. "My sister often speaks fondly of you nowadays."
"Sis-?"
"Aunt Glynda."
Weiss opened her mouth in an O. She knew of the relation between the Arc's and their professor, but she hadn't realized it was through their father! Though now that she got a good look at his toned and stern face, she could see the similarities!
"Well then, I hope you treat our daughter well. And so long as you do, welcome to the family."
"Hell yeah!"
Someone yelled in the distance, and before Weiss kenw it, she was suddenly tackled by a sea of blonde and green eyes.
WEiss... Weiss felt happy, really happy. She could feel their aura's consuming her and... and it felt good.
"Told ya they'd love you~"
"I... I see that."
She tried to speak from the crowd... but this was nice.

i know most bumbleby stans don’t shut up about the connection of yang and blake’s song but holy SHIT are they packed with so much content. also a warning beforehand, this rant is very messy and kind of confusing, so lol if you want, try to keep up.
if we ignore the ridiculous amount of romantic connotations behind every line in all that matters, and look at the lines “thought that i could pull you from the shadows/maybe help you find your wings and fly” which are a CLEAR connection to blake’s past songs, it’s fucking crazy.
let’s look at from shadows for a second. there’s nothing romantic behind the lyrics in it, just pure defiance and passion and anger from blake and the white fang. which is super fitting for her story! there are a lot of images of darkness and shadows (obviously), and the clear continuation to this song is this time (which i will touch on soon). i do want to point out, however, these lines: “tired of being pushed around and we will fly/we'll fly, we'll fly” this is yet another reference to blake’s other song, wings.
now, i know that blake’s songs being connected shouldn’t be a surprise because all the other characters’ songs reference one another too. ruby’s direct images are about her mom and roses, weiss’s is about loneliness and has images of mirrors, yang’s is about fire and gold. but it’s the clear fact that blake and yang’s songs reference each other’s that is so important.
now wings is a blake song, but unlike other character songs, it’s being sang TO her, not BY her. it’s not explicitly a romantic song (the only real romance that could be spotted behind it is the “baby”) but the soft, comforting lyrics and tone can kind of give off the vibe.
now looking right back to all that matters: a yang song that pulls in DIRECT allusions to blake’s songs. in both from shadows and wings, blake seems to be overtaken by distress and darkness and broken hope, and yang’s perspective shows that she wished she could pull her from that.
NOW to really quick talk about this time. it technically has nothing to do with yang because it’s about blake reclaiming the white fang, but the indications of “out of the ashes, a new flame ignites/rise up from shadows and into the light” brings up yang’s songs’ imagery once again.
i don’t particularly think a lot of this can be seen as completely and irrevocably romantic, but i do think that since the beginning, bumbleby has been intertwined in a way that the other relationships haven’t. yes, yang’s songs talk about protecting her family, but those lines are just outright stated. there’s no beating around the bush about the fact that yang will do anything for her sister. but these characters songs (which are a complete window to their inner thoughts and emotions) are connected in such a way that we can see blake and yang’s growth together through their lyrics alone.
and this is all without mentioning the fact that these two have the most songs together than any other pair in the show: all that matters, bmblb (if that even counts?), nevermore, and of COURSE the mention of blake in yang’s armed and ready. i sincerely think that their songs are weaved together are a reflection on how their storylines are weaved together, and they have one of the strongest relationships in the show, whether you want to argue that they’re in love or not.

Cupid is stupid (Or Weiss asks a lot of questions and finds love in all the softer places)
Falling in love, Weiss discovers, rather inconveniently in the middle of a fight, is a lot like wielding a weapon.  
There’s the push and the pull, the drawing blood and taking of it. Weiss is rather inclined to think of it as a violent, bloody dance — the way she’s almost constantly tripping over her own feet trying to follow her partner when she has no idea what her next move will be. Then, of course, there’s the fact that whoever she’s dancing with is equally as clumsy as she happens to be, which Ruby definitely is.
“Thank me later,” she quips, after she’s done saving the idiot’s ass for the millionth time in her life. And then it hits her right in the chest, not a Grimm’s blow, not a weapon, and worse that Cinder’s fiery spear that had impaled her a couple days ago — this is affection. Not the kind she feels for Yang or Blake or any of their other friends, it’s the kind that turns her inside out whenever she so much as sees a malevolent force heading towards Ruby. The kind that automatically reaches out to touch Ruby when she’s near, that draws her eyes, unbidden to search her out in a fight.
Ruby catches her a while later, holding onto her hand as she hangs off a moving train, and Weiss can do nothing other than blink back at her — at her bright eyes, and her hair whipping around in the wind. She then proceeds to whisk them both to between two train carriages, in a flurry of red. When Weiss tries to step away, to catch her breath, she finds she’s stuck to the ground, or more accurately, entangled with Ruby. They’ve got their arms wrapped tight around each other, and with every movement, strands of Ruby’s hair land onto her face. Weiss doesn’t know it then, but all of her molecules have indeed just been rearranged. She has a feeling that stupid thing in her chest has been put back together to form Ruby’s name instead.
*****
It’s almost offensive how easily she feels the cold when she’s supposed to be the Ice-Queen. Yang would say something stupid about her not having a thick skin because she grew up in the literal lap of luxury (and she would be right, but that’s beside the point) and Blake would probably punch her in her arm, but thankfully, nobody’s noticed yet. So she stands in the corner of the porch, looking out at the rapidly falling snow outside the creepy house.
“You’re cold,” Ruby murmurs when she sidles up to her.
Of course. Of course Ruby sees. “Everyone’s cold,” Weiss says back.
Ruby shrugs, gently reaches for her hands, her eyes on Weiss’ the entire time. Is this okay, she seems to be asking, and Weiss, helpless, can only nod.  
Ruby covers Weiss’ hands with her own, raises it to her face and like it’s a secret, breathes warm air into their cupped palms. She’s no longer looking right at Weiss, instead focusing her attention onto their hands, and Weiss, like any other time she’s lucky enough to get to stare at Ruby freely, takes this opportunity to do so. The cold in her bones has instead been replaced with warmth — Ruby warmth, the particular shade that she can only find around Ruby — and even the tremendous crash of Qrow and Jaune breaking down the door registers to her as though coming from far, far away.  
Ruby blows one last gust of warm air into their hands before they make their way inside. She doesn’t let go, though. Weiss realizes she didn’t want her to, anyways.
*****
There are around ten people in the house besides the three people who actually live there, and not enough beds. It’s a logistical nightmare.
“Or,” Nora says, smirking in a very wink-wink-nudge-nudge way while she side-eyes Ren, “it’s an opportunity.”
Ren colors, fiddles with his collar until he’s sunk half into it. They’re all polite enough to look away; the sight of Ren, embarrassed is physically painful to witness.
“We’ll — we’ll manage, won’t we?” Ruby pipes up, smiling brightly, and Weiss sees them all smile back in reflex. Sometimes she wonders if she’s the only one Ruby can twist around her little finger — other times she is reminded that she just has that effect on people. Why else would they follow her to the ends of the planet? When Ruby talks, people believe.  
(When Ruby talks, Weiss physically feels her heart careening out of control, skidding into a blind curve with no idea what lying ahead. On and on and on, like Ruby’s running up ahead and Weiss follows, with just her voice for company)  
They end up cramped in two rooms — Maria gets the bed in the guest room, in honor of her being practically a fossil, a fact that gets Yang’s ears boxed when she says it aloud. Oscar, Jaune, Nora and Ren plant mattresses on the free space on the floor and are snoring in fifteen minutes. Qrow claims he won’t sleep much, and finds a rocking chair that he pulls close to the window, and he sits there, swigging rum ominously every once in a while. The rest of them decide to concede the couch in the living room to Ruby, who looks the most exhausted. And when Weiss gets up because she can’t sleep, she sees Blake and Yang snoozing next to each other, their hands loosely held close to Blake’s chest.
“Can’t sleep either, huh?” she hears from somewhere beside her when she goes out to the porch, and whirls around, only to see Terra sitting in the corner. Adrian is perched on her lap, watching the soft snow drizzling outside.
Weiss smiles at her, feeling a little awkward about the entire thing. Shrugs. “Shouldn’t he be.... asleep?” A quick glance at the clock confirms her suspicions. It’s almost one.
Terra chuckles. “He conked out at seven. He wakes up in the middle of the night at least once. This — this helps him go back to sleep. Plus,” she pauses to bend a little and deposit a tiny kiss on top of his tiny head, “it’s one of the few minutes I get to spend with him in the day.”
Weiss thinks of her own childhood, of nightmares and staying up all night terrified, because there was no way, absolutely no way she was allowed to wake her parents up for any reason besides imminent death. The Schnee estate was vast, confusing and filled with entirely too many showpieces no one would ever use, full of winding staircases that lead nowhere close to comfort.  
This house is tiny and full of love. Every dent on the couch talks of tickle fights and places someone was so happy that they bounced their way into almost breaking it; the lower parts of the walls are scribbled over with crayons and blue hearts and stick figures of smiling people. She thinks back to dinner when Oscar and Nora burned whatever pie abomination they were supposed to be baking and then they’d all crammed into that tiny space to try to salvage it, and Weiss could’ve sworn even the tiny gaps between them were overflowing with love.
(This is a house someone would want to walk into at the end of the day. A place of shelter. A home)
“Jaune did mention you, you know?” Terra says, after a while, and Weiss is startled out of her train of thought. “In his letters to Saphron when you kids were at Beacon. He was particularly effusive in his description of you.”
“Oh dear lord,” she says, burying her face in her hands because that phase of her life seems so far, far away now. “I’m so glad he got over it. Not before singing an awful made-up song on his guitar, though.”
Terra laughs, softly, and Weiss notices that Adrian’s fallen asleep against her chest, his head resting on the arm she’s moved awkwardly to brace him.  
“Saph worries about him,” Terra says. “He makes sure to text her updates, but she can tell when he’s left a lot out. He’ll text her something like roadtrip and she knows to translate it to we’re on the run and have no idea where our next meal is coming from. He’s her only brother and kinda the baby of the family. And she.... she frets.”
“And when she worries, you worry,” Weiss completes.
When Terra looks up at her next, it is with all of her emotions plain on her face to see. Weiss reads consternation, affection, helpless desperation and blinding, blinding love before she bites at her lip and wipes it clean. Nods.
Weiss goes back inside a couple of minutes after they do, Adrian’s head hanging off his mother’s shoulder as they make their way to his room. When she walks in, she catches a glimpse of Qrow, snoring with a blanket now thrown across his torso, and movement off the corner of her eye. Oscar gives her a boyish grin, holds up a finger to his lips, before he disappears back to the guest room. She climbs over Yang and Blake, and finds her way, inexplicably, to Ruby’s side.
At some point in the night, Ruby had apparently kicked off her sheets and they now lay half-thrown over her legs. Weiss kneels at her head, looks on. At her impossibly young features, and her mouth that has fallen open, and the few strands of hair that are strewn across her forehead. Weiss wants to kiss the spot where they meet, wants to kiss the tiny freckle just beside her nose, her snoring mouth. She flushes, and balls her hands up into tight, wanting fists.  
When the urge passes (passes in a way that thirst in the desert passes, always there beneath the surface, just pushed back down enough so one can concentrate on more important things), she pulls the sheets up over her body, and tucks the ends, carefully over her shoulders. Her fingers wander, unprompted, to Ruby’s face, where they trace the path of her hair, and brush it away. Once. Twice.
And Ruby stirs beneath her hand, and then is staring at her, wide-eyed. There is no fanfare to how she wakes up, no protracted sigh or stretching. Weiss guesses it’s a product of their on-the-run lives — when there is no time to breathe, one gets used to waking and sleeping easily. In the end there they are, with Weiss kneeling next to Ruby, their faces shrouded in moonlight, staring at each other.
“I’m sorry I woke you up,” she whispers, after a beat. Her hand is still resting on Ruby’s face. When she moves to bring it back, Ruby stirs. Her hand comes up to cover Weiss’, keeping it there.
“It’s okay,” Ruby whispers back, still holding her goddamned hand close to her face. Weiss can feel her breath tripping all over itself, like it’s not sure what to do in such close proximity. It’s almost intimate, she imagines, the both of them with their heads huddled together. If she leaned forward a smidge, their foreheads would touch. A head tilt — and here the thought makes her feel hot all over — and they would be kissing.
(The distance suddenly feels almost awfully unbearable to her)
Ruby’s still staring up at her, her eyes still wide and serious. When it all becomes too much, Weiss moves her hand to cover her eyes.
Ruby’s lips curve up in a sleepy smile. “What?”
“Stop,” she says, flustered, “stop looking at me.”
“But I like looking at you,” Ruby tells her, sounding amused and Weiss is one hundred percent sure she is going to die tonight.
(She doesn’t mean it she doesn’t mean it she doesn’t mean it she doesn’t — then — she means it in a different way than what you’re hoping for so shut up shut up shut up)
“Shut up,” she says, finally, then adds. “Dunce.”
Ruby giggles, then her mouth stretches open into the hugest yawn ever. Weiss laughs, boops her nose, because she simply must.
“Sleep, okay?” she says, one last time. Then, without thinking too much about it, she leans down and presses her lips to Ruby’s forehead.
She’s not sure, but Ruby looks a little like she’s blushing. She blinks a few times, then says: “Now I will.”
Weiss’ mattress is just below the couch. Five minutes after she lies down on it, she feels Ruby’s hand travel down and rest on her head. It is to the continuous motion of her hand through Weiss’ hair that sleep finally takes her when it does.
*****
Winter is all angles and bones. Not just physically, but also in the way she carries herself. She is sharp edges and words that cut easily. Weiss knows it’s not just her — the Schnee family tends to make knives out of people and then set them upon the rest of the world to hurt and maim. Weiss knows that better than anyone else, knows that some blades draw blood unwillingly.  
Also knows that Winter is trying her very best to change.
But her posture is still ramrod straight, refusal to relax written into every single one of her cells. They’ve all split up after their celebration for their newest promotion to Huntsmen and Huntresses: Yang and Blake having disappeared on a trip to explore the city, Ren, Nora and Jaune off to gorge on Atlesian delicacies, and they’d left Oscar practicing sparring with Ruby. Winter had dropped in to invite her out to a celebratory dinner at Atlas’ finest dining establishment, and so here they were, sitting awkwardly in front of each other, eating whatever was on their plates.
Weiss wonders if Winter would die of shock if she dared to reach over and steal one of the dumplings on her plate. The Weiss of two years ago wouldn’t even have entertained the thought.  
Today, she thinks about it maybe five seconds before picking one up and shoving it into her mouth.
Winter’s eyebrows are arched. “You know Father would disapprove of the declination of your table manners.”
“Good thing I don’t care, then,” she replies, flippantly. “Do you?”
Winter rolls her eyes, takes a sip of her wine. “You’re my sister, Weiss. You could take half my liver and I’d only call you a boob. Or something equivalent.”
That’s how Winter Schnee loves. In casual gestures, in standing behind Weiss, ready to sacrifice herself at a moment’s notice. It is not the unwavering, adoring devotion of Yang and Ruby — Yang wouldn’t even entertain the thought of a potential hurt coming her sister’s way, jumping into action to save her before she even asks. Winter, however, needs to make sure Weiss can take care of herself, only hanging back in case things get too dire.
She smacks her hand with the chopsticks when Weiss reaches for another one. “I offered up a liver, you go looking for my heart? Behave, Weiss.”
It makes her laugh.
And it’s this foreign.... ease, for lack of a better word, that has Weiss’ tongue loose enough for her to shoot Hey, Winter, you ever been in love before an hour later, when they’re walking back to the military complex.
Her sister seems to be choking on thin air — she coughs and squawks and makes all sorts of undignified noises, before smacking Weiss on her head to make her stop laughing.
“I’m sorry,” Weiss says, when that hysterical bout is over. “Just wanted to see the look on your face. You don’t, you don’t have to answer that if it’s too personal.”
“Imbecile,” Winter mutters, but she turns to face her anyway. They’re almost at the building that has their apartment, and they stop almost simultaneously, standing in front of each other and trying very hard to avoid looking into each other’s eyes.
Winter hesitates, then speaks again. “Really want to know?”
Oh. Wow. Okay. “Yes,” she nods, trying to look casual about the whole thing.
“Once,” Winter tells her, running her hands through her perfectly coiffed hair in a very uncharacteristic move. “Before I joined the military.”
“And what happened?” Weiss asks, after a prolonged pause.
Winter’s smile is both sad and amused. “Father found out about her. What do you think?”
And she doesn’t know if it’s the easily dropped pronoun, or the way she can still read the utter loneliness in her sister’s eyes, but Weiss finds herself taking a step forward and wrapping Winter up in a hug.  
(Winter is all angles and bones)
And stiff limbs. “What,” her sister says, hesitantly, “Weiss, what are you doing?”
“Hugging you.”
“We don’t do that,” comes the prim response.
“We also don’t steal food off of each other's plates, Winter,” she replies, easily, still acutely conscious of the way Winter is just pressed against her stiffly. “As far as major changes go, I personally wouldn’t mind seeing a lot more of this.”
Winter’s arms come up, finally and hang loosely off her shoulders. As far as hugs go, it’s not the most comfortable one.  
(As far as hugs go, it’s one of the best Weiss has ever had)
And that’s' the moment, she becomes aware of movement from somewhere up high. Winter’s back is facing the building, so she’s in the perfect position to tilt her head up and see—
(What in God’s name?)
Oscar, Jaune, Nora, Ruby, Blake and Yang and crammed into the same window, peeking out at them, and appear to be giggling furiously. Ren, thankfully, seems to have enough dignity to not stoop to the level of these utter pains in her ass.
“What the—”
“Weiss?” Winter asks, still awkwardly hugging her. “Something wrong?”
She laughs. “Depends on what you define as wrong,” she says, and disentangles, so Winter can turn around and see for herself.
“Oh dear.”
A chorus comes sailing from above. “Hi, Officer Winter!” they all say, and then disperse, laughing madly. Only Ruby remains in the end, waving at them shyly.  
Winter, to her utter surprise (and really, it shouldn’t have been. If the evening had taught her anything, it was that she didn’t give her sister enough credit), waves back. When she turns back to Weiss, she’s even smiling a little.
“I like that one,” she tells her, eyes glinting with what Weiss can only define as mirth.
“Everyone likes her,” Weiss replies, shrugging.
“Do you?” Winter’s eyebrows are raised, and Weiss cannot help dropping her gaze, bringing a hand up to rub at the back of her neck. Winter’s hand falls on her hair, ruffles it up a little.  
Her parting words are Be careful, you boob. Weiss pretends not to understand.
*****
Blake and Yang are easy to figure out. Even Weiss, who has a general tendency of being clueless in these matters, can see the way Blake kind of — withers, when Yang isn’t around. There’s a light in her eyes that’s only visible when Yang’s close to her, a subtle confidence in her shoulders that says Yeah, I’m good now. Blake and Yang carry their love in their bodies, always moulding themselves to the other’s relative position. Weiss is sure even they don’t realize it yet, the way they always seem to come together when they’re in the same room, this unconscious meeting of opposite poles that ends in relief. They’re tangled hands, arms resting around shoulders, feet nudging each other, eventually leading up to secret smiles in team meetings.  
Sometimes, Weiss is sick of the whole thing.
Oftentimes, Weiss wants them to be happy so, so much that she fights the urge to push them into a room together for two hours.
“They’ll be back soon, you know?” she tells Blake, who hasn’t moved from the window since they finally made contact with the rest of the team. Blake whirls around, relaxes, then accepts the coffee Weiss is holding out to her.
“Thanks,” Blake says. “I just—”
“I know, I know. You worry.”
“I just,” she says, tugs at her hair with her free hand, “I just, I don’t know how anyone does it. Stay away, I mean, I — it’s like I can’t breathe properly when I don’t see her.”
And Weiss has done it once, a long time ago, although the magnitude of her feelings wasn’t known to her back then. Back when her father had locked her up in an ivory tower and she had no idea what Blake or Yang or Ruby were doing, if they were even alright. But she still stayed up all night, wondering if Ruby was okay, if she had eaten, if she was thinking about Weiss.
She imagines having to leave Ruby for a moment now, and the melancholy that washes over her almost brings her to her knees.
“Some hypocrite you are,” she says, teasing Blake gently, “with all the find yourself schtick you gave Nora earlier.”
She laughs, and Weiss finds herself hoping it’s taken her mind off of Yang for at least a little while.
“I like your brother,” she says, then. “He’s adorable.”
“Can you say that to him, please?” Weiss begs her. “And can I please be in the room when you do so?”
There’s another moment of levity. “Hey,” she starts, frowning a little. “Do you know where he is right now? Haven’t seen either him or my mother after the whole Grimm debacle.”
“I last saw him with Ruby,” Blake says. “I think he’s.... quite taken to her, actually.”
Weiss sighs. “Of course.”
(Ruby is the pied piper, after all. Everyone would follow her to the ends of the planet)
(Weiss? Weiss would walk with her beyond it)
Blake grins at her.
“What?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” she says, mischievously. “Seems he’s not the only Schnee who’s quite taken with her.”
(Blake deserves the massive bump running headlong into the glyph Weiss conjures up in the next second. No doubts about that)
*****
The end of the world comes after the night before the end of the world.
Like a protracted moment of utter calm before the cacophony starts, they all comes together, and eventually split up to the places that give them the most peace. Weiss takes a tour of the house once. Her mother’s sleeping on a chair next to Whitley’s bed; Weiss covers her with a blanket before she moves on. Jaune and Oscar are sitting guard over Penny, next to Ren, who has squeezed himself in beside Nora. Yang smiles at her warmly when she comes upon her and Blake in another room. Blake’s fallen asleep with her head resting on Yang’s lap. She wanders around for a little while more, until she finally comes upon Ruby in her bedroom.
“Why is it,” Weiss says, “that most of the time I meet you, I have to tell you to go to sleep?”
Ruby turns, smiles at her, but the smile is fractured in places. Weiss takes a step forward, closer.
“What’s wrong?” she asks.
“Nothing, nothing, I,” Ruby takes a deep breath, looks around. “I can’t believe you lived here.”
Weiss lets her change the topic. “What’s so unbelievable about that?”
“Just doesn’t look like you, that’s all.”
“That’s because I don’t exactly belong here.”
“Where do you belong then?” Ruby asks, looking right at her.
With you. “With all of you,” she says. It’s true. “Blake and Yang. And Jaune and Nora and Ren and Oscar. And even — that stupid alcoholic uncle of yours. And—”
“—and?” she asks, a lopsided grin on her face.
“And you.”
Ruby sighs, steps forward so they’re in each other’s personal space.  
“Weiss,” she says once, quietly.
Weiss closes her eyes, takes a step forward of her own, blindly, feeling Ruby’s steadying hands on her shoulders, her back, her hair. She feels a hand carefully moving against the scrunchie holding her hair together.
“Can I?”
She nods, feels her hair pulls free. Ruby helps detangle it, the braid, and ends with tender hands, smiles.
“I like your hair,” she says, then makes a soft sound in her throat, urgent, wanting. “Weiss.”
“Yes, Ruby?”
“Weiss, Weiss, Weiss,” Ruby says, again, and now her forehead is tipped against Weiss’.
“What, darling?” Weiss murmurs, and feels Ruby’s shuddering breath in response. There’s a small, desperate kiss pressed to her hair, then her forehead, and amusingly enough, her nose.
“Weiss, I have to tell you—”
“—wait!” she says, not moving. It’s not like she could. A Grimm could be standing in the room right now and it couldn’t draw her away from Ruby. She touches Ruby’s cheek gently, feels Ruby sigh and sink into her palm. “Please — please don’t say what you’re about to.”
(A part of her, the stupid, hopeful part knows what it is and craves it, dreads it, mourns it already)
“And what am I about to say?” Ruby asks, her eyes burning with something Weiss can’t find the words to define.
“Something incriminating, I fear.”
“You fear?”
“Yes. But I also — I hope.”
“Then let me say it,” Ruby implores. She removes her arms from around Weiss, grabs her hands and raises them to her lips. Kisses her knuckles carefully. “Weiss, you know already. You must know.”
“I do, sweetheart, I do,” she says, resting her head against Ruby’s collarbone. The two of them have been circling each other in some dance that Weiss hasn’t been able to pin down yet, have been hurtling, at alarming speeds towards unknown cliffs, and the same way that Ruby has to know that Weiss would split herself end to end for her, that if cut into pieces, Weiss would bleed for her happily, Weiss knows.
(All love is violence. She knows that better than anyone)
“Tell me,” she starts, “tell me when there is peace.”
“But there will never be peace!” Ruby says, and her voice cracks. Weiss raises her hand blindly to press at her cheek and feels the warm moisture sticking there.
She rises on her toes so they’re level again. “There will be.” Weiss would make sure of it. For Yang and Blake, who need time to get their fledgling love off the ground. For Ren and Nora and Jaune who have lost too many friends already. For Oscar, who deserves a chance to grow up and for Qrow, who deserves a chance to feel young again. For Penny and Maria and Pietro and her mother and Whitley and Winter.  
For the girl she loves.
For Ruby.
When they kiss, Weiss thinks she’s shattering into a million pieces, like she would never be the same again, even if reformed into someone who resembles Weiss Schnee on the surface. How could she, with the memory of the movement of Ruby’s lips now imprinted on hers, her fingers tracking indelible marks through her hair — tomorrow, she will remember, a week later, she will remember, if somehow, she couldn’t see Ruby for another thirty years, her skin would remind her, every day.
*****
The end of the world comes before the day after the end of the world.
Weiss wakes up in the woods, empty handed. She wakes up, and thinks of Ren and Nora and Oscar, hopes they got to safety. Of her mom and Whitley and Winter. She thinks of Jaune who tried carrying her to the door. Of Yang who fell infinite miles into the void before Blake fell an equal distance to her knees, of finding Gambol Shroud and trying her very best to gather her courage to honor her teammates best.
Weiss wakes up in the woods, stumbles to her feet, looks around. There’s water to be searched for, and sustenance to be gathered. She’s got a long journey ahead of her, after all.  
Ruby’s waiting for her.
