The Knights

Hey peeps!

Here are my designs for Carmine Esclados & Bertilak Celadon!

Ever since I saw Carmine’s official design I’ve wanted to redo it, because her original design is a crime against humanity and it’s one of the worst things I’ve ever seen

So I redid Carmine using her description in the book, and figured I’d do Bertilak, too, since the poor guy got literally nothing after the book was published

I really wanted to lean into both of their allusions to the Red Knights & the Green Knight respectively, so I gave them (specifically Carmine) a bunch of different armor pieces, and now they kinda match with their silver colors, albeit Bertilak’s is rusted

I also wanted to highlight them being described as total opposites outfit-wise, since Bertilak is described to not even look like a Huntsman because of his outfit, whereas Carmine is clocked as a Huntress with one glance from Coco

Anygay, that’s them <3

I guess I’ll do Team SSSNN next, but that’ll be after I finish reading Before the Dawn lol

Individual Designs under the cut <3

Throwback

Hex Girl Ruby:*filling up candy bowl*

Green Lantern Jaune:You sure you don’t want to go around town. I don’t mind passing out candy.

Ruby:Nah it’s fine. So many kids brave the climb up through our spooky path to see me. I can’t let them down.

Jaune:I think it’s because you also hand out fresh cookies.

Ruby:A good cookie is worth a little scare. You take our adorable little munchkin around see the spoopy lights and drop Carmine off at the Halloween party.

Pooh Bear Garnet: I want candy!

Ruby:*pinches cheeks* But you’re already so sweet! I might gobble you up if you’re sweeter!

Jaune:Do you know Carmine’s costume?

Ruby:Nope. Said she’s had one since she moved back. Carmine! You ready to go.

Carmine:I’m coming!

Heavy footsteps from above work their way down stairs to meet the rest of their family. Ruby turns to look at her daughter and goes wide eyed as the girl hides her face under a red hood and old school beacon uniform.

Ruby:Is that…

Carmine:Wh-What? The party theme is Throwback and heroes. Thought I’d blend the two.

Jaune:*takes candy bag from Ruby*

Ruby briskly walks over and gives Carmine an unavoidable hug. Though the girl seemed embarrassed, she genuinely wanted the affectionate.

Jaune:Should I be hurt you didn’t dress up as me?

Carmine opens up her cloak to reveal the Pumpkin Pete hoodie over the uniform.

Jaune:*sniffles* You’re an icon.

Carmine:It’s in my blood.

How many queer characters are there in RWBY? I remember Blake, Yang, May, Pilot boy, Ilia. Is there anyone I missed?

In the whole franchise (show, books, anime), we got, CONFIRMED:

Yang Xiao Long (sapphic)

Blake Belladonna (bisexual)

Ilia Amitola (lesbian)

Coco Adel, from team CFVY (lesbian)

Scarlet David, Sun's teammate (gay)

Nolan Porfirio, Sun's NEW teammate (gay)

Saphron Cotta-Arc, Jaune's sister (sapphic)

Terra Cotta-Arc, Jaune's sister in law (sapphic)

May Marigold (transgender)

Carmine Esclados from After The Fall (sapphic)

Shion Zaiden from IQ (non-binary)

Curious Cat, Somewhat, several other characters from the Ever After (non-binary)

Then are those who are not confirmed but are implied, like Velvet. Even Cinder can be considered implied due to a joke from RWBY Chibi, but that could be just that, a joke lmao

[ryuto12]

My New V10 Predictions

Cause like it’s not if it’s when, this is VIZ we’re talkin about

Yang is going to hit Raven with enough backhanded comments to make absentee bird mom take damage

Coco is either going to insult the shit out of Emerald or just hardcore flirt with her

Carmine Esclados and her new employment found under a witch trying to end the world

And some point Yang and Raven have some really peaceful quiet moment where things are okay and Raven attempts to inquire about her and Blake, and Yang either basically tells her we’re to stick it or they actually have a small bonding moment

Qrow and Raven tag team fight scene

Anxious Nora hug, not a fast one. Not quite believing her eyes and being so scared seeing her found family again that it might be a dream

Weiss having some complicated feelings realizing Jacques is dead cause like, she hated him and he was pathetic but fuck he was still her father

Sun bouncing off the walls with the need to show Blake around since she showed him the cool spots in Menagerie so now it’s his turn

The Summer Maiden either fits in perfectly with Raven and Winter or is this glowing ball of sunshine next to the cold as her namesake specialist and deadbeat bandit filled with plot secrets

Ruby yoinks Raven and is like “yoooooo drop my tragic backstory”

Whitley character growth (if crwby gives him raggedy ass ripped jeans my prayers worked he deserves to finally break away from the perfect Schnee look like Winter and Weiss already did)

King Jaune

*At the Crown Meeting*

Gillian: Why should we make a deal with them?

Mercury: We lost nearly a thousand of our people, we can't breach their defences, and we're still waiting for reinforcments that are days away! Do you need more reasons?

Carmine: Then why did they offer terms if they are sure we can not get into the city?

Cardin: They probably have run out of food

Emilio: Then we should let them starve!

Mercury: Ugh! Then they will hate us even more!

*The group begins to argue completely, debating on what to do next*

?: I have something to say!

*Everyone turns to see Jaune, walking out of his tent, still clutching his broken ribs in pain*

Jaune: *walks into the middle of the group* I didn't become commander of our forces because I wanted to be, but because of other people's actions *Looks over at Carmine* And I did not take over as your king because I wanted to be king, but because of other peoples actions *looks at Gillian* But still here I am, your king! King Arc! That is my name! And tell me, what does a king do?

Ashara: He rules

Jaune: He rules! Good! *walks over to Gillian* and as a ruler *leans down near her ear* I have the last say *Pulls back* ME! NOT YOU! *points at Gillian* NOT YOU! *points at Carmine* NOT YOU! *Points at Emilio* AND NOT YOU! *points at Mercury*

*Everyone stayed silent*

Jaune: You have all had your plans and they have all failed! *begins to cough violently*

Gillian: Jaune! *rushes over to him*

Jaune: *stops her* I-I'm fine! I'm fine! *begins walking away back into his tent* We'll talk about this later...

[brokentrafficknight]

Now have rusted knight Jaune be bullied by a cabal of redheads

So it turns out this show has a lotta redheads

[kamen20ghost]

The carmilla effect

Winter attends a party dress like this and it catches jaune attention.

Winter: having fun and hoping the outfit elm pick out for her wasn’t to showy.

Jaune: sees winter and awakens a gothic/ monochrome want/kink.” She will be mine.”

Next day they both wake up in a hotel room naked,hungover and content.

TTA 5 - If Love could have saved you, you'd have lived forever

A big old hand to @everyones-berry for the artwork

I took the fic length and doubled it. Let me know if you liked it!

[elmothedictator]

Carmine : I like your new pants! Jaune: Thanks, they were 50 off! Carmine : I’d like them better if they were 100 off. winks Jaune: The store can’t just give away clothes for free. Carmine : Thats’s… not what I meant. Jaune: That’s a terrible way to run a business, Carmine .

[bridgyrose]

I'm going to be starting another rewatch of RWBY and after seeing the animatic, its kinda nice to see all the loose threads starting to come together. We've had plots that were started and put on the back burner as the heroes moved on to their next destination, characters that we saw briefly only to leave them behind, and characters we had thought were dead at the end of vol 8, all of them coming together in Vacuo to help because of Ruby. The same Ruby that started this series wanting nothing more to become a huntress only to have her entire world view shattered the farther she went on her journey.

It all really puts into perspective that a smaller, more simple soul is all that's needed to spark hope. That the optimism that she's kept, the hope that she's spread, has had enough of an effect to try to keep everyone moving. And now, we come to a point where when Volume 10 comes out, we'll be picking up in the aftermath of Vale being destroyed in what I can only assume the panic of finding out about Salem and then silenced by her or by whoever was working with her at Beacon in an attempt to get the crown.

This has been a fun journey so far since I've started watching after vol 2 came out and I cant wait for whatever comes next when it comes.

[howlingday]

Gillian: I don't care how blue his eyes are, or how his pants form well to his shape, or how built he is! I am not attracted to jaune arc!

Jax: ...

Carmine: ...

Theodore: ...

Jaune: (Clears his throat, Blushing)

Xanthe: And, once again, Ms. Asturias, no such allegations were made.

Gillian: (Huffing, Blushing)

[razorblade180]

Ruby:*holding Carmine*

Jaune:Rubes? Honey?

Ruby:Hmmm?

Jaune:You do understand eventually Carmine is going to half to learn to walk, right?

Ruby:Hehe, I know. She’s only nine months. *puts her down* Your still crawling, aren’t you sweetie?

Carmine:*stands up*

Ruby and Jaune:!?

Their baby shakily takes about three steps until she grabs Ruby’s leg and reaches up. Speechless, Ruby picks up the fussy girl and looks a Jaune.

Ruby:Welp, you were right. However, she’s clearly spoken she likes the high life.

Jaune:Ruby, our baby just walked.

Ruby:*tearing up* I know, I’m trying not to scream right now.

Carmine:*rests her head* Ma ma…

Jaune:*grabs tissues*

Ruby:Aaaaahhh! My baby!

[hadesisqueer]

How many confirmed LGBTQ characters does RWBY have? So far I can think:

Blake Belladonna (bisexual)

May Marigold (transgender)

Shion Zaiden from IQ (non-binary)

Yang Xiao Long (sapphic, orientation not confirmed)

Saphron Cotta-Arc (sapphic, orientation not confirmed)

Terra Cotta-Arc (sapphic, orientation not confirmed)

Ilia Amitola (lesbian)

Coco Adel (lesbian)

Scarlet David (gay)

Nolan Porfirio (mlm)

Carmine Esclados (lesbian-coded)

Little (non-binary)

Then there are characters that are implied to be LGBT either in canon content or side content like RWBY Chibi (see: Velvet in the novels when it was teased but not confirmed that she used to have a crush on Coco back at Pharos Academy, and when in Chibi they went on a date—or Cinder implying that she hasn't tried but wouldn't mind dating women but then again that's just Chibi so it doesn't count lmao. And more, I guess. Headcanons and vibes exist).

Jax is going to be so passive aggressive to Mercury because of his prosthetics because of his anti-technology shit

like Gillian will probably just ignore him (and is likely to be dealing with her own internal conflict and questioning her loyalties considering Jax tried to kill her and she did want to be a Huntress before his manipulations led her where they are now) but Jax is a spiteful, pathetic bully with a lot to prove because he's useless on his own and is painfully aware of that, so he'll absolutely be taking shots at Mercury for his legs
