Archie Nathan’s 1960 book 𝑪𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒃𝒚 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 notes that the armor that Jean Seberg wears in the 1957 film 𝑺𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕 𝑱𝒐𝒂𝒏 for the role of Joan of Arc was originally made for Ellaline Terriss’ portrayal of Joan of Arc in the 1911 play 𝑺𝒕. 𝑱𝒐𝒂𝒏 at the London Coliseum!   If you know what costume designer may have costumed that original production, please comment below or on our website! Bit.ly/AncMed029

I once commented that curious cats ability is similar to jaunes

but the curious cat puts his heart in other people to manipulate and control them while jaune does it to reinforce/support them

originally the curious cat was meant to help peoples hearts

jaune with his semblance would do exactly that for people

 jaunes inspiration joan of arc was known for her leadership of the french against the english

plus joan of arc had a charismartic personality where she was able to easily raise the morale (and a synonym of morale is spirits) of her soldiers so she was able to raise their spirits

and jaunes semblance is perfect for support and it being soul amplification will correlate with how joan of arc was able to raise the morale of her soldiers and raise their morals. if jaunes soul amp he would be able to cause jaune to improve the morals of the people who he use it on causing them to undergo development etc.

“The firsthand sources make clear that the most obvious and stunning impact of Joan’s leadership was the way in which her charismatic personality hauled the morale of the often-defeated French army up from the pit of cynicism and despair to a fevered high of renewed enthusiasm and collective ardor for battle. Conversely, once her reputation for bringing victory to the French became established, her presence infected the heretofore invincible English with doubt and fear. Dunois testified as follows about Joan’s impact from the moment she delivered her ultimatum to the English army besieging Orleans:

… and I swear that the English, two hundred of whom had previously been sufficient to rout eight hundred or a thousand of the royal army, from that moment became so powerless that four or five hundred soldiers and men at arms could fight against what seemed to be the whole force of England.7

However, she immediately set about making the force of her personality felt throughout the army in terms of both morals and morale. She continued to stress the importance of righteous conduct of the soldiers throughout her career. As Pasquerel, de Coutes, d’Alençon and others testified, she exhorted the soldiers to become faithful in making confession and attending mass, she drove prostitutes from camp brandishing her sword, and she fiercely scolded both common soldiers and great nobles for their foul language. To their own amazement, hardened warriors of all ranks meekly submitted to her will in these matters.11 George Bernard Shaw was correct when he wrote in the preface to his play Saint Joan that what may seem to be nothing more than mere prudery on Joan’s part was in fact a vital component of restoring the ability of the French army to fight well. Soldiers of all ranks had become so cynical, so demoralized by alternating periods of defeat and inaction, that they were ready to accept any measures that would restore a modicum of their self-respect. Joan’s exhortations on little points such as attending mass and not blaspheming were the necessary first steps in rebuilding the men’s spirits.12

From the moment she first rode onto a battlefield, Joan went far beyond being merely the tireless good conscience of the army. From the moment she first laid eyes on her country’s English enemies, she aroused the will of her soldiers to fight. Joan was a fine and forceful speaker but her ability to inspire the French soldiers stemmed from her leading them into battle in the most literal sense possible.

Jean Dunois the Bastard of Orleans later described how much Joan boosted the moral of the city when she arrived:

“Then Joan came with me, carrying her banner, which was white and on which was the figure of our Lord holding a fleur-de-lis in His hand. And she crossed the river Loire with La Hire and myself, and we entered all together the town of Orleans. These are the reasons why I think that Joan, and all her deeds in war and in battle, were rather God’s work than man’s: the sudden changing of the wind, I mean, after she had spoken, which gave hope of aid, and the bringing in of the provisions in spite of the English, who were much stronger than the royal army, and the fact, furthermore, that this young girl swore that she had had a vision in which Saint Louis and Saint Charlemagne prayed to God for the safety of the King and of this city.”

A merchant in Orleans who witnessed Joan’s arrival later stated that she “was received with such great joy by all the inhabitants of both sexes, great and small, that it seemed she was an angel of God. By means of the Maid, they said, we are going at last to escape our enemies.” The Journal of the Siege of Orleans (Journal du siege d'Orleans) further describes the great scene of Joan’s entry:

“Thus at eight o'clock in the evening, notwithstanding all the English, who in nowise prevented it, she entered fully armed, mounted on a white horse; and borne before her her standard, which was likewise white, and which had two angels holding each a lily flower in her hand; and on the pennon was painted the Annunciation. She, thus entering into Orleans, had at her left side the Bastard of Orleans, armed and mounted most richly. And after her came several other nobles and valiant lords, squires, captains, and soldiers…Elsewhere she was received by other soldiers and burghers and burgesses of Orleans carrying torches in great number, and making such joy as if they saw God descend among them; and not without cause, for they had many weariness, hardships, and trials; and what was worse; great doubt of succor, and fear to lose body and goods. But they felt wholly comforted, and as if freed from siege by the divine virtue which they had been told was in the simple Maid, whom they regarded most affectionately; men, women, and little children. And there was a most marvelous pressing of the crowd to touch her or the horse on which se was, so much so that one of those who carried the torches approached so near her banner that it caught fire. Whereupon she touché her horse with the spurs , and turned him as gracefully to the banner, of which she extinguished the fire, as if she had long followed the wars. And the soldiers held this in great wonder, and the burghers of Orleans also; who accompanied her the length of their town, making a great welcome, and in very great honor conducting her almost to the Regnart gate, to the home of Jacques Boucher, then treasurer of the Duke of Orleans, where she was welcomed with great joy.”

He's  persuasive, smart and a fast learner. His backstory puts his clumsy battle inexperience into perspective and shows just what he’s up against in an academy that is far above his level. He is really determined to become the kind of person who can protect people and once he begins to apply himself, his skills start developing very fast. Also, Ozpin mentions to Ruby that the skills required for dancing and fighting are connected, and Jaune turns out to be an extremely accomplished dancer, sum to that his naturally large aura and his quick thinking. He also resolves Neptune’s insecurities after he turned down Weiss at the dance. Let’s point out that this was meant to be Neptune’s secret, Jaune just convinced Neptune to confess his problems to him and then encouraged Neptune in overcoming his insecurities. and succeeded

@pilot-boioi​ @spoonoftar from @miki-13 :

#holy shit#if this is true then RWBY+ NPR's semblances could all evolve near him and who knows who else's!#not only that but it could come in handy with Oscar and Ozpin's situation as well!

Jaune's Semblance

I'm not sure if anybody's discussed this yet about Jaune's Semblance, but maybe this might be interesting anyway.

First of all I should preface this post with the fact the impetus for it is my IRL Best Mate, who suggested it first and mentioned I could post about it on Tumblr. She doesn't have any online accounts to link but I did want to mention it anyway.

She watched RWBY last year at my behest. I was talking to her about the mention that apparently Aura amp isn't quite the right term for Jaune's Semblance and she immediately had an answer since she already sort of suspected otherwise.

She said that it's probably likely he's not just amping Aura but the soul itself. If you trace the characters he's amped so far in the show, they've had as much emotional development as they have Semblance development.

At first I wasn't entirely sure how much this pattern would hold since it only makes sense that a big Summoning would follow Weiss' revival, and then her emotional strength across the Atlas Arc probably came from a place of character development as much as a Semblance... but I think it's arguable here the Semblance is kind of doing some metaphorical character work, both once you take Ren into account, and the way Jaune's Semblance is characterised in the very first episode of V6, right after it emerged at the end of V5:

Both Ruby's encouragement and Jaune's here are doing the work... to the point it makes me wonder if the obvious demonstration of Jaune's Semblance here is doing what I think it's doing (spiritual support).

The argument for Ren seems to be sound since he demonstrated a rapid Semblance progression in V8 - both quickly and in depth. Which is, of course, as a result of emotional/moral development, and all of this is related to the way all Semblances and Aura are doing character work. Of course. Once you get Ren snapping at Jaune in V8, it seems like a pretty natural direction to break, being the outward representation of Ren's internal conflict.

More than that, though, when you count how often Jaune uses his Semblance and on whom, Jaune has used his Semblance - at this point - most frequently on Ren. That there's some type of catalytic effect seems likely.

Which is why it's interesting there's a prominent use of Jaune's Semblance on Nora in V8. Given that we're likely getting more Nora development over the next volume after establishing the scene so far with V8, this may be setting that character progression up symbolically - setting up her Semblance evolving beyond being only 'strong enough to hit stuff' in her eyes...

Since Aura is essentially the material expression of the soul, it makes sense that if Jaune's Semblance is 'more than' Aura amping, it's actually something which goes deeper - literally - and affects the narrative and character progression.

To me, it seems like the only way to explain it without getting bogged down in mechanics which don't matter... and if with established evidence the amping is now not 'just' about combat dynamics but something deeper, then I'm all for it and it fits thematically.

#Repost @catholic_teen_posts (@get_repost) ・・・ From caffeinatedcoffee on tumblr ❤️ 10 Things I love about St. Joan of Arc 1. Nothing could stop her (even when the Dauphin decided to play a trick on her at their first meeting and chose one of his pages to pose as himself while he hid in the crowd. Joan walked straight up to the real Dauphin despite never having seen him before.) 2. She was sassy even during her trial (whenever she did want to answer a question during her trials she literally said “pass” and then went on talking about whatever the heck she wanted to) 3. She was her army’s Mom. (she basically had a swear jar for her soldiers’ filthy mouths, ran the prostitutes out of her camps, and sent her boys to confession before every battle) 4. She is rumored to have loved the Eucharist so much that she broke into a church’s monstrance and ministered to herself so she could receive (tone it back girl) 5. she survived an arrow to the chest??? 6. Asking St. Joan for prayer pm automatically puts you on 3 other saints’ radar (HER patrons, St. Catherine, St. Margaret and St. Michaell the Archangel) 7. She was a shorty. (witnesses put her at 5″2) 8. She was given a set of white armour that reflected the sun so strongly that her opponents thought she was a literal angel and they ran away crying (probably) 9. Her heart wouldn’t burn while the rest of her body was consumed by the flames (they dumped her ashes and heart into the river so they would be lost and no one could have relics to venerate—SO I KNOW YALL CORRUPT PEASANTS KNEW SHE WAS A SAINT!) 10. You don’t have to be in her list of typical patronages, if she picks you, she marches into your life like the tiny, mad mom friend she is and she will TEAR YOUR LIFE UP. you’re gunna be a soldier. #solider of #Christ #StJoan #prayforus #feastday #courage #brave #loveher #martyr #france #paris #churchmilitant #spiritual #battle #catholic #catholicchuch #christian

salems semblance is to drain aura  which she can imbue on grimm  and a possible evolution for jaunes semblance

 salems semblance  is how cinders grimm bug/arm can drain the maidens power for the maidens powers are tied to the persons soul/aura which is why oz who would know how the process worked more than anyone thought using the aura transfer machine would work. salem used her semblance  to drain aura and gave cinders grimm bug/arm the ability 

and she was the one who created the apathy not the god of darkness who created grimm based off the animals the light god made.  and they were formed thanks to a combination of salem  manipulating the grimm pools and combining it with her semblance ability to drain aura to grant them their ability after  all our souls feel and emit emotions so it fits for her to  be able to drain emotions/induce apathy along aura after she trains with it 

so its  a combination of magic and her semblance  since if magic allowed her to drain aura then oz should be able to do that  as well unless its a result of the grimm pools but if thats the case then wouldnt grimm in general have that ability  and  she probably cant just grant  her grimm any kind of ability she can create new grimm like the flying monkey grimm which are beringels with nevermore wings but she cant give them powers out of nowhere like with her magic and ability with grimm she made some grimm with the ability to breathe fire for she herself is able to use fire magic  but the grimm she creates ability to send out a blast of fire can be even greater than her own the leviathan grimm  depending on how much she works on creating it with her grimm powers 

 and salem being able to drain aura also adds to her being jaunes evil counterpart 

megashadowdragon . tumblr . com/post/152357996242/salem-is-jaunes-evil-counterpart/embed

for while he can amplify aura she drains it  and may foreshadow  

jaunes semblance  evolving  so he can induce emotion to the people around him. He can make people feel anger, rage, hatred, greed, fear, terror, dread, courage, hope, compassion , love, lust, envy, lazy, sad, excited, happy, anxious, confident, grief, etc. He’d terrify his enemies into terrified submission and give immense hope to the masses. or amplify emotions

This makes sense since the historical figure Joan of Arc did rally a lot of the french armies and cleaned up their acts. Once she was given the permission to enter the battle and lead, the French army started becoming victorious

joan of arc had a charismartic personality where she was able to easily raise the morale (and a synonym of morale is spirits) of her soldiers so she was able to raise their spirits

and jaunes semblance is perfect for support and he would help support and empower the people  sort of giving them morale
