"Pyrrha": Jaune, come back to me...

RK!Jaune: You're not real...

"Penny": Maybe if you were stronger you could've saved us.

RK!Jaune: Shut up... Just, shut up...

"Ruby": Why? You know it's true. Maybe if your father loved you enough, he would've trained you.

RK!Jaune: GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

I've recently been really into RWBY...I just finished Volume 3. Tf did I just watch?!?!?! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hello again! I love her, I miss her, I still think about her:  I’m glad she caused problems.

[cakemoney]

nona the ninth wrecked me so thoroughly I'm speaking in tongues in this here blog

[sofipitch]

After rereading NTN I was just thinking of how Pyrrha does try to be nice and try and approach her but think of it from Gideon's perspective. I assume Pyrrha and G1deon knew she was on the Ninth the whole time, OR they should have at least checked. They may or may not have known how much it sucked but they fucking abandoned her, even thinking that she might be their kid. I'm sorry but I think Pyrrha is lucky all Kiriona did was snap at her. Also what Nona (starting to remember as Alecto) said about "did you enjoy playing house with me" (not an exact quote) burns even more. Bc yeah she was a great guardian to Nona but at the expense of Gideon

just woke up, got out of the shower and had the funniest mental image of how jaune and pyrrha found out ren sheds the skin on his taIL

[moltensmusings]

Arkos fans, mark my words, if I ever actually find the drive to do a mini comic of my rewrite for jaune and Pyrrha's final moments together I'm coming for y'all.

By Morena’s good graces it is 18F here. My vines are dead and now I am frozen beyond all belief. It has never hit this low before…

[mayasaura]

Adding onto the Phyrra & Gideon discussion: IMO, Phyrra has been a good mom--an excellent mom, even, to Nona, but not to Gideon. And as much as I adore Phyrra, I don't really think that it's entirely unreasonable for Gideon to not want to be mommed by her

To be fair to Pyrrha, she hasn't had much of a chance to be a mom to Gideon, good or otherwise. But you're one hundred percent right. It's not unreasonable at all for Gideon to not want this rando to come swooping into her life trying to parent her.

Gideon isn't a child. She may have died at eighteen, but she's existed now for twenty years. She's old enough to chafe at parenting even from a legit parent who raised her, if she had one. That she doesn't, that she was never allowed a childhood, really puts the cherry on top of the shit sundae for her. Like, of course she doesn't want Pyrrha trying to be her mom now.

Pyrrha wanting something really really badly and for good reasons doesn't mean Gideon's being unreasonable by not giving it to her. No amount of calling her 'kid' is going to turn back the clock on eighteen years in the dark. We all know who was hurt worse by Pyrrha missing Gideon growing up, and Gideon really has no reason to accept her into her life now.

The mismatched eyes flick back to green. The smile on her face is one that is vicious and cruel, and when she speaks again it is cold and distant and painful.

“Hello again.”

IMAGINE IF JAUNE HAD SEEN AND HEARD PYRRHA

[notmaplemable]

Weiss: I don't know how Pyrrha survives with having that dolt Arc as a partner.

Ruby: Come on Weiss, Jaune might not be the best fighter, but he's a good partner!

Yang: Honestly, he probably wouldn't be the worst partner ever.

------

If Jaune was Yang's partner

Yang: How are you doing today, partner?

Jaune: *Cooking some eggs for breakfast* Oh hey Yang, I'm doing pretty egg-cellent this morning.

Yang: *Finger guns* Ehhhhhhh.

Jaune: *Finger guns back* Ehhhhhh.

------

Yang: He actually has a sense of humor.

Weiss: Oh please, I can't imagine anything worse than Arc being my partner.

------

What if Jaune was Weiss' partner

Jaune: *In the most stereotypically hillbilly accent you can think of* Snow Angel, you are just the pertyiest thing I ever did see.

Jaune: We go together just like dogs and gettin strayed by skunks.

Weiss: *Death Screech*

------

Weiss: *Shivers* The horror.

Blake: I don't think it would be that bad.

------

What if Jaune was Blake's partner

Jaune: *Jumping around like an excited puppy*

Jaune: Hey Blake! You wanna go play some video games!?

Jaune: Or maybe go down to the cafeteria and get some chicken nuggets and tuna!?

Jaune: Oh both! Both would be super fun!

Jaune: Right Blake!? Right!?

Blake: ...Sure.

------

Blake: Less annoying than Yang at least.

Yang: Picking VB over me, Kit-Kat? Hurtful.

Weiss: Why do you even think Arc would make a good partner, Ruby?

Ruby: Uhhhhhhhh

------

What if Jaune was Ruby's partner

***CENSORED***

------

Ruby: Reasons.

TLT Theory: Pyrrha was the Necromancer

No get back here, hear me out. I'm not saying Gideon didn't become one as a Lyctor. But I've been noticing a lot of things adding up weird here...

In Ch6 of HtN, when preparing for the first trip through the River, they call it Pyrrha's trial.

Much later, when Pyrrha is mad at Palamedes for the soul fuckery he and Camilla are doing, she refers to it as one they designed together, but that doesn't negate Mercy calling it Pyrrha's first and foremost. And...

She's worried about Camilla's brain, and okay, sure, they only have Camilla's body. But with Cris and Mercy, it was Cris getting cracked open. With Harrow and Gideon 2, it was always Gideon in danger, not Harrow. And with Gideon 1 and Pyrrha, it was Gideon's skull, Gideon's brain, getting the testing done. No mention of the same kind of testing or Mercy or Pyrrha. The principle of it is the necromancer's consciousness being overlaid onto the cavalier's brain, right?

But okay, maybe Pyrrha just doesn't mention herself, and Gideon's "a control variable" to compare herself to? But there's more.

Pyrrha fights with guns, prefers them. Gideon fought with not just a sword but a whole ass massive spear for an offhand, and has easily more physical prowess than any other necromancer we've ever seen. His stomach is still desiccated in typical necromancer fashion, he's dehydrated and not a scrap of fair fat on him, but he's a wall of muscle and sinew. Yes he looks "like an idiot's construct", probably because John regrew him from an arm when he was still getting the hang of using that level of power, but he's distinctly not built like other necromancers. If he wasn't a necromancer prior to being a Lyctor, his build might make more sense. Moreover, we've seen other cavaliers turned into sort-of-constructs, with both Protesilaus and Kiriona.

I also want you to look at the Saint of Duty and tell me that man isn't the walking essence of what it means to be a Cavalier.

And he rarely uses necromancy. He can travel in the River, and he drains thanergy, but he never really uses theorems or sets up wards. His necromancy is used pretty exclusively in passive ways or to remove obstacles between himself and his weapons. But Pyrrha is extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of necromancy. She tells Harrow fresh thalergy is harder to drain. She sees Ianthe's brilliantly inventive combination of wards creatively mimicking the effect of Mercy's trial and can accurately tell what they're going to do, as well as how to break them. Among other things. She also says she walked the Eightfold. Maybe that means being led willingly as a cav, but what if she was in control of the process?

With Harrow, Gideon was constantly in and out of awareness, watching from Harrow's subconscious, things that Harrow was fully conscious for. Palamedes doesn't have that with Camilla, and both of them being conscious is rare and dangerous, as detailed above. Pal and Pyrrha are frequently compared with their situations. How did Cam and Pal work out how to do the switcheroo, especially while Pal had extremely limited ability to move or perceive? How did they work out a safe time limit before too much irreparable damage was done? Could they have had guidance from someone who's done it? Done it with a necromancer's knowledge, letting him know where he can safely go under in the brain, how to come out at will, what to watch out for?

On a separate note:

Lyctor names are sacred, but the Houses were founded before Lyctorhood was achieved. Anastasia did not become a Lyctor, so her name was not removed from history, and became common in her House. Judith and Marta are part of the Dve Territorials, and while that doesn't prove anything or could even be evidence against, I feel like it would make sense to have named prestigious military groups after the House's "main" Founder, before there were Saints and the decision to erase the Saints' names.

On a more meta level, I think it would be weird to have "their names were meant to be forgotten", history knowing jack shit about the cavaliers of old, and even emphasis on the Lyctors forgetting each others' House names, only to have a cavalier's House name in active use somewhere, if that information wasn't supposed to be serving a narrative purpose. If we weren't meant to question why.

"But they call her his cavalier. She calls him her necromancer."

Sure. And maybe that's straightforward; this is a theory, I could be wrong. But switching titles after Lyctorhood doesn't sound too out of the question to me. What's a bit of revisionist history in TLT? John knows where memory lives in the brain, and on Pyrrha's end, at least after Lyctorhood Gideon was the necromancer, after all.

(Edit to add: Augustine calls attention to how astonishing it is that Pyrrha never divided opinions, that not one of them has ever had a single bad thing to say about her. She's great but we've met her. We've seen John rant about her calling out his bullshit, in the dream. Not one bit of annoyance or criticism, from anyone? I'm just saying, if Something Happened that led to John needing to tweak memories, making everyone remember her nothing but fondly feels plausible.)

"So why can't she do necromancy when she's in control?"

"He took more from me than got taken from you" feels like explanation enough to me. He got her aptitude and more. She's a partial soul. If anything, she could even still has an ounce of it, to retain the body's healing capabilities. If Gideon was fully giddy-gone and the soul that was left had zero aptitude, what would the furnace be burning? But if Gideon's consciousness is dead and what's left of his soul is in the furnace with a (partial) necromancer at the helm, well, that's not far off from Lyctorhood working as intended.

"Why though?"

And there's the part that gets really tricky but interesting. My best guess short answer is, one of them was dying, and it was an act of desperation.

Maybe Pyrrha was dying and so brutalized her body wouldn't have healed right even becoming a Lyctor, but given what they're like and the Cam/Pal parallels, I feel like an even more likely answer was that Gideon was dying. Cris and Alfred had already put Mercy and Augustine in that position, and they took their souls to preserve something, but Pyrrha would have seen how well that worked, assuming the third ascension wasn't immediately after the first two. So perhaps in her own desperation, with endless adoration for the man so willing to burn for what he believed, she said no. You don't get to throw your life away. If you're going to keep throwing yourself on things, I will make sure you can survive it and keep surviving it, even if it kills me instead. And then walked the path in reverse, pinning her own soul to his instead of pulling his into her.

I've seen a post around here pointing out how when Pyrrha tells Nona about her first tantrum, she's laughing with her mouth but not her eyes, and it looks like it reminds her of something her brain doesn't want to bring back, and the post proposes maybe Alecto killed Pyrrha. And I do think there's a solid possibility it was Alecto's tantrum that mortally wounded whichever (or maybe even both!) of them and prompted them to ascend. If Pyrrha didn't blame Varun for Gideon recently, I doubt she'd hold it against Alecto either.

Either way, wouldn't something like that more than earn the title of Duty? Wouldn't it be beautiful that they both fit the title if both had in ways been the cavalier? Wouldn't it be fitting to allow the name Dve to stand in the military as a monument to such a woman?

I know this might still be a long shot, but I definitely think there's enough little things sprinkled around to at least to warrant some solid suspicion. And it honestly would explain a lot.

Cardin: You’ll do that?

Carla: Of course! He may not accept it, but he’ll at least get that apology he is owed.

Cardin: You’ll do that? Thanks, Mom. I probably would have decked him in the face if I went over there to apologize to the loser.

Carla: Then I best go over there. Don’t worry sweetie, I’ll make sure he accepts your apology. After all, what better apology can a boy get than fucking his bully’s own mother~?

Ok! I miss Pyrrha Dve! There! I said it! It wasn’t a secret so none of you should be surprised. I miss my wife man! I don’t care that she has emotional/actual affairs with people in space! Bbg come home!

I love Patroclus and Pyrrhus' dynamic in my modern au

Brief and simplified Story Timeline under the cut!

Early childhood

Patroclus acted out a lot as a kid, especially after his mother's death. An accident in the playground caused another kid's death, but Patroclus was declared innocent thanks to eye witnesses (Pat still believes it's his fault)

Patroclus was in foster care after Menoetius got convicted for child neglect, he was 10.

Peleus took him in and Achilles immediately became so attached to him

Patroclus is so scared of Thetis and he feels indebted to Peleus

Achilles is a nepo baby!! Peleus and especially Thetis are so influential

Boarding School era

When Thetis noticed that Achilles seemed very dependent on Patroclus, she came up with the idea of separating them (she wants her son to be more independent)

Achilles was about to be sent to a boarding school when he's 13

Patroclus managed to sneak into the train with him and ended up going to the same school

Patroclus and Achilles began secretly dating when they're 15

Deidamia

Lycomedes and Thetis thought it'd be nice to get Achilles and Deidamia to know each other

Achilles began seeing Deidamia when they're 16 and asked Patroclus if he could date her as well

Patroclus (reluctantly) agreed because Achilles promised that nothing would change between them

Deidamia is in the girls' dorm, so Achilles used to dress up as a girl to sneak into her room.

Being the dumb irresponsible teenagers they are, Deidamia got pregnant

Achilles told Patroclus that Deidamia wanted to keep the baby and that they're gonna send the baby over to Thetis while they're in school

When Achilles told Patroclus, Patroclus lashed out and refused to talk to Achilles for. 12 hours. (The longest they've gone without talking)

For a brief moment Thetis blamed Patroclus for not paying enough attention to Achilles, believing that he was trying to ruin her son's name and reputation

This entire situation was hell for Patroclus. He thought he had lost both his foster family and his Achilles.

Baby Pyrrhus

Achilles and Deidamia thought it'd be funny to name the baby after Pyrrha

Deidamia and Achilles aren't married yet, but Deidamia spends her school break at Achilles' house to spend time with their son

The moment Achilles graduated from school when he's 18, Peleus got him a deal to be an intern at Agamemnon's company overseas. Achilles said he would only go if Patroclus comes with him

Deidamia got full custody of Pyrrhus because he's only 2 and can't possibly be passed around between her and Achilles if he moves overseas, though she now lives with Peleus and Thetis

Achilles and Deidamia broke up because they can't handle a long distance relationship, but they stayed friends

Troy

Achilles and Patroclus stayed in Turkey for years and would only fly back home once or twice. He kept in touch with Pyrrhus from video calls which didn't happen often

Achilles began getting custody for Pyrrhus when he was 12, where he would fly to Turkey on school breaks

Achilles isn't used to having Pyrrhus around, so he left all the parenting stuff to Patroclus

Achilles would occasionally bring Pyrrhus to work too when they don't have anyone to watch over him at home

Pyrrhus is mad at Patroclus because he thought he's the reason Achilles left him and his mother

He also hates that Achilles is a lot closer to Patroclus and would rather spend time with him than Pyrrhus

Will add more overtime but this is the full timeline so far!!
