Red VS. Blue
Tumblr media
Bleiss: Hello everyone let me introduce you all to my leader and Ruby's counterpart/"evil twin" Bluby.
Tumblr media
Ruby: *gasp* (She looks exactly like me) 😮
Blake: How many more versions of us are there?
Yang: Yay! I got two little sisters for me to hang out with.
Weiss: Oh no, there's two of them now...
Jaune: (She's beautiful...)
Bluby: *hides behind Bleiss* 😶‍🌫️
Bleiss: C'mon Bluby just introduce yourself to everyone.
Bluby: hi... 😶
Bleiss: *sigh* Well as you can see my dear leader is quite shy compared to Ruby.
Ruby: Oh, she's so cute! I mean I'm so cute. C'mon I'm not going to bite you. ��
Bluby: Uh... *Hides behind Jaune* 😨
Jaune:
Tumblr media
Yang: Oops. He, he. Looks like you have a competition with your clone Ruby.
Weiss: Oh great, not another one.
Blake: A love triangle... (Scandalous! I'm so gonna post this online)
Ruby: Very funny everyone, but everybody knows that a copy can't beat the original. 😤
Bleiss: Well I wouldn't be so sure about that. Remember that Bluby is your opposite in every way.
That means unlike you she is very demure, very mindful.
Ruby: Hey! I can be both demoor and mine things too. 😡
Bluby: wait... 😔
Bleiss: And unlike you she's not obsessed with weapons and is not on the no fly list.
Ruby: You smuggled in one hand grenade and for some reason you ended up on the terror watch list. I thought Vale supposed to be a free country!
Bluby: stop... 😢
Bleiss: And also unlike you she's not a homophobe.
*record scratch*
Jaune: Wait?
Weiss: What?
Blake: Ruby you're...
Yang: Do you want to explain yourself, oh sister of mine?
Ruby: W-wait you-you do not actually believe in what she just said right? I'm your sister for goodness sake. *Sweats*🥵
Yang: I don't know Rubes you're sweating a lot for someone that said she's not homophobic.
Ruby: Grrr... Fine I admit okay I think realtionship should be like Adam & eve. Not madam & eve! 😖
Bluby: No...🥺
Blake: Ah ha! I knew it. You're the only one that's not happy that I finally dated your sister.
Jaune: Ruby is a homophobe... No... But I thought you liked my sister Saphron and her family?
Ruby: Th-that's different she's your sister and I liked everything about you... No matter how wrong I think same sex relationship is.
Weiss: Girl, I think you should shut up before you dig yourself any further.
Ruby: Oh, that's rich coming from a racist! 🤬
Weiss: Hey! Don't drag me into this.
*starts bickering & arguing*
Bleiss: Oh, ho, ho. This day couldn't be any better. *Opens bag of chip*
Bluby: *starts crying* 😭
And any suggestions for the name of JaunexBluby ship?
Or if you have any other questions just leave your message here.

Imagine the Arc sisters(Harley arc family) Each pick a girl they think would be best ro date their brother while the girls look on in confusion and Jaune is just blushing in the corner. (Bonus points if none of the crazy sisters pick Pyrrha but Saffron quietly tells Pyrrha she is rooting for her. Also everyone dunking on Weiss.)
Jaune was hiding, behind the locked door of his dorm's bathroom, as the entirety of his immediate family... YES all of them... was currently having a "discussion " in the common room about his love life.
Mama (Harley Quinn) Arc: Girls... GIRLS!
The arguing voices quieted.
Mama Arc: Now we ALL know that our love-bunny-wunny has a hard time speaking to girls, and let's be honest that's because of us. I mean how can he EVER hope to find anyone as perfect for him as we are!
Arc Sisters: DAMN RIGHT!
Mama Arc: Now, be that as it may, our puddin' needs someone to watch over him, to cuddle, pamper and hold him when none of us are around... so... please present your personally chosen candidates. Jinx...
Jinx: That's me!
Mama Arc: You're first.
Jinx: the choice is simple. He needs someone chaotic and energetic. Someone that will always remind him of us so... I chose...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nora: ME??? But I'm with Re...
Jinx: We offer explosives, pancakes and breaking stuff!
Nora: That include legs?
Jinx: Of Course!
Nora: I'm IN!
Mama Arc: Interesting choice. Tiny Tina you're next. Who do you...
Tiny Tina: SHE WAS MY CHOICE!!!! Mom Jinx took my idea!
Jinx: Snooze you loose!
Mama Arc: Girls behave! No fighting!
Jinx & Tiny Tina: Sorry.
Mama Arc: Do you have a second choice?
Tiny Tina: Well...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ruby: ME!?!?!?
Tiny Tina: Yeppers.
Ruby: Why?
Tiny Tina: You're smart, cute, adorable, and like guns. You're almost as perfect... no on second thought you are PERECT!!
Ruby: Um... thank you?
Mama Arc: You are right she is adorably cute, and oh I can just see the GRANDBABIES!!!
Ruby: EEP!!!
Mama Arc: Saphron, you're next.
Saphron: I refuse. We have no right to be interfering in Jaune's love life, and besides we came here to SEE Jaune, not matchmake!
Mama Arc: We can do both dear, but I accept you decision.
Saphron: (Whispering) You better make your move soon red...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pyrrha: (Whispering) What?
Saphron: (Whispering) You heard me. Make your move... I'm rooting for you.
Pyrrha: (Whispering) Ah... um... th...thank... you?
Mama Arc: Now while Saphron plots like a traitor, you're up Rebecca.
Rebecca: The girl I picked is the best! She's the strong silent type and kick ass enough to keep Jaune safe from everything, even man stealing homewrecking hussies!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Neo: 😵‍💫⁉️😵‍💫
Mama Arc: Is she okay?
Rebecca: She's... hey! Get back here!
Neo: 😝🤑😝
Mama Arc: No shooting in the hallways!!! Ah whatever. Joan...
Joan: Jeanne and I are making a joint choice for Jaune.
Jeanne: That is correct, and we expect everyone to respect and accept our... choice.
Mama Arc: You mean suggestion.
Joan & Jeanne: Choice.
Mama Arc: Okay. And who is this... choice?
Joan & Jeanne: Her!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yang: ME?!?!?
Joan & Jeanne: Yes. You.
Yang: But I don't like VB like that!
Joan & Jeanne: VB?
Yang: It's Jaune's nickname...
Ruby & Weiss: Don't Yang!
Yang: ... Vomit Boy.
Joan: We may have made a mistake.
Jeanne: We must correct it.
Yang: Huh?
Joan: Burning at the stake?
Jeanne: It is fitting.
Jeanne and Joan each hook one of Yang's arms and start walking out of the room with her.
Yang: Hey! Unhand me! Let me go!
Mama Arc: Saphron, can you get Jaune and get a stay of execution, please dear?
Saphron: Yes, mom. Come on Red, let's get you... partner.
Mama Arc: Saphron.... any way. Utena you're next.
Utena: Jaune needs someone adventurous and exotic, and I choose her!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Blake: ME????
Utena: Yes.
Blake: But why?
Utena: Cause.
Blake: That's not a reason!
Mama Arc: Ah, Utena IF Blake is your suggestion, why are you holding Ms... Schnee's hand?
Utena: She's seen the error of her ways... but needs some more correction...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Weiss: Help me?
Mama Arc: Ah... Utena... fine. But don't break her too much. She has classes in the morning.
Weiss: Help me?
Mama Arc: Well as I have seen your choices, I shall reveal mine as well. I choose... HER!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Glynda: I... refuse! This is unacceptable!
Mama Arc: My puddin' needs a mature and motherly figure in his life. You're perfect and... this is non-negotiable...

I told you I would bring up @pmpknsoup’s post more times.
Feel free to comment or reblog how you think this would have gone.
Tumblr media
———————————————————————————-
(In Theodore’s office in Shade Academy at early evening, Team RWBY and Jaune Arc face the main members of the Remnant Alliance, consisting of Team JNPR plus Oscar Pine/Ozpin and Emerald Sustrai, Team STRQ, the Ace-Ops, the Happy Huntresses, Winter Schnee, Team SSSNN, Team CFVY, Whitley Schnee, Willow Schnee, Klein Sieben, Maria Calavera, Dr. Pietro Polendina, Ghira Belladonna, Kali Belladonna, Ilia Amitola, Bartholomew Oobleck, Peter Port, Glynda Goodwitch, Theodore, Xanthe Rumpole, and Zwei.)
Tumblr media
RUBY: Listen. Thanks, everyone, for your patience.
Tumblr media
RUBY: It took a while to figure out how to tell you, and I know being left in the dark about our whereabouts over the remainder of the winter, the whole spring, and the summer has left you anxious, but now, I’ve decided it’s time to reveal what’s been going on. Robyn, I’ll need your Semblance to prove all of this correct.
ROBYN: Uh, okay.
(Robyn steps away from the group, removes her glove, and joins hands with Ruby. Her Semblance turns on and glows green with every piece of information Ruby gives.)
ROBYN: So, you guys didn’t make it out of the pocket dimension before it collapsed. Where did you guys fall to?
RUBY: Well, after I fell, I regained consciousness on a beach surrounded by giant seashells. I tried to hone in on a giant tree, but just ended up looping in circles. Eventually, I had to stop, then found a mouse trying to pull a plant out of the ground. I pulled the plant, which turned out to be a cheese plant, out for the mouse, and fed it to them. After the mouse revealed that they could talk, I named them Little, and they decided to stay by my side as I tried to get home. Then we found Weiss and Blake captured in vines by a whole village of talking mice. It didn’t take much convincing to get them to let them go. Then we went to look for Yang and found a creepy Grimm-looking creature moving jerkily. And I mean very creepy. (IMITATING JABBERWALKER) “Stalking. Searching. Waiting. Listening.” (NORMAL VOICE) Then Yang came barreling out, already fighting the creature while missing her arm. Then Blake realized we were in our favorite childhood fairy tale, The Girl Who Fell Through the World.
(Confusion and wonder all around. “That fairy tale?” “The Ever After?” “It’s real?”)
Tumblr media
OSCAR: That fairy tale actually happened? And the Ever After is real?
RUBY: Which means the creepy Grimm-like creature was the Jabberwalker from that story. Also, Weiss had a very hard time wrapping her head around the Ever After’s absurdities.
(Weiss blushes with embarrassment.)
WEISS: I did not.
RUBY: Our hands are glowing green, Weiss. Robyn’s Semblance never fails. Then we went to the village in the King’s Acre to barter with the Jinxy Peddler, who had stolen Yang’s arm. Well, they don’t “steal”, they just “take things others aren’t looking at”. Fair is fair, right, Little?
ROBYN: Sounds like a legitimate businessperson.
WEISS: Right?
EMERALD: So, what was the Jinxy Peddler like?
VELVET: Was he cute?
WEISS: Cute? He was adorable!
RUBY: And, despite being older than he was in the book, his strategy was the same, selling treasures that are really other items in disguise. If my memory serves me right, he had a yellow scepter, a pink rabbit statue, and a marionette-like doll. Toy soldiers won the scepter, and we only got it back from them because Little tried stealing the marionette, exposing Jinxy’s treasures as fakes. The rabbit statue was another mouse, the scepter was Yang’s arm, and the marionette was one of Penny’s Floating Array swords. The soldiers followed us to arrest us for stealing Yang’s arm, or “royal property”, before I traded Penny’s sword, and told them she was the greatest warrior to ever live. “She was touched by magic, and she gave her life for thousands. She took a message of hope to the stars, and she saw the world through better eyes.”
(The gang gets emotional, especially Winter and Pietro, who are comforted by their loved ones.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
RUBY: The soldiers escorted us to the Crimson Castle for the birthday of who we thought was the Red King, but turned out to be the Red Prince, who was more of a spoiled brat than Weiss was at Beacon.
YANG: (nudging Weiss) Heh-heh.
RUBY: We challenged him to a game of chess, where he shrunk the girls to the size of chess pawns. Not that it hindered their performance against the Prince’s pawns. When we revealed that we’re humans and beat him, he threw a tantrum and wanted us beheaded, and the Curious Cat rescued us.
(More interested chatter. Nora Valkyrie gets giddy.)
NORA: The Curious Cat?!
REN: Were they as chatty as the book made them out to be?
RUBY: Mm-hm. Not to mention easily distracted. Anyway, they took us to look for ingredients for a Growgurt Parfait in the Garden’s Acre, and we told them our life story, but because we kept getting distracted with our internal conflicts, we kept losing them over and over again. After the third time, when they asked me how I’m supposed to save the world now that Salem has two out of four Relics and that Atlas is gone, we met an herbalist, a caterpillar named Herb. He seemed to be asking us questions to figure out what medicine he needed to make to help us. Looking back, he was being reasonable, as too little medicine is useless, but too much medicine is toxic. Eventually, Herb just decided to smoke a hookah for a bit and drugged us with leaves that made us see our past selves tempting us to “go back”. To be free. To be simple. To be whole. To be different. The other girls rejected and had already accepted their failures as something to learn from, but I almost gave in, before the Cat stopped me, then got Herb swallowed by a hole in the ground.
(The gang chatters in moods ranging from confusion to nervousness.)
Tumblr media
TAI: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up. You guys did drugs?
QROW: Don’t let alcoholism be next, girls.
RUBY: Anyway, the Cat led us to a market to keep looking for the Parfait ingredients. Along the way, they told us about a process that occurs when an Afteran is no longer doing their assigned role, triggered by them losing their ways, wearing out, doubting themselves, or even just finishing their assigned tasks, upon which they are taken to the Great Tree and repurposed into someone or something else with a new identity, personality, and role. Their memories are erased in the process, but the heart very rarely forgets. They don’t die. They ascend.
(Such a concept catches the interest of the gang.)
REMNANT ALLIANCE: Ooh.
Tumblr media
EMERALD: Talk about a potential existential crisis.
RUBY: Hence why there was no Red King when we got to the Castle. He lost his game and ascended into the brat we encountered. And the hole that swallowed Herb was him starting his own Ascension. Anyway, after we arrived at the market and got all of the Parfait ingredients, the market was attacked by Jabberwalkers using Neopolitan’s Semblance. Oh, yeah, Neopolitan fell with us, too.
(Nora, Ren, Oscar, and Emerald grow worried.)
REN: Uh-oh.
Tumblr media
TAI: Neopolitan? Who’s that?
RUBY: Remember Roman Torchwick, the criminal from Vale? Neo was his partner. She held me responsible for his death at the Fall of Beacon and wanted me dead to avenge him. She expressed herself through gestures and facial expressions because she couldn’t talk.
RAVEN: Was she that chick I saved Yang from on the train on Mountain Glenn?
RUBY: Yep. Then I disposed of her by opening her umbrella on an Atlas airship in the sky during the Fall of Beacon. Apparently she survived that fall without any of those Grimm surrounding us eating her.
OSCAR: Team JNPR and I last fought her right after Ironwood declared us fugitives.
RUBY: Then she fought us in the pocket dimension between here and Solitas. Heck, she was the reason Yang, Blake, and I fell. Anyway, we made the Growgurt Parfait and the girls grew back to normal size just as we got assistance from the Rusted Knight riding his white rabbit.
WHITLEY: Did Weiss go goo-goo eyes the second she laid eyes on him? She had a crush on him when she was younger.
BLAKE: I think everyone had a crush on the Rusted Knight at some point.
RUBY: Well, things didn’t help when he turned out to be a grown-up Jaune with longer hair and a beard, who grabbed a fruit that sent him back in time twenty years right after he landed.
(The gang gasps at the new knowledge of the Rusted Knight being not only Jaune, of all people, but Jaune thrown backwards in time, grown older, and living without his friends for so long.)
Tumblr media
NORA: Oh, my Gods!
REN: Jaune, that really happened to you?
JAUNE: I was stuck there isolated from other human contact, too.
YANG: Weiss certainly loved how mature he was.
RUBY: And the white rabbit was a jackalope Jaune named Juniper.
NORA: After his team? Aww!
RUBY: Then Jaune told us his perspective on the Tree, that he believed it was death, that Alyx backstabbed her brother Lewis, the author of the fairy tale, who wrote the story the way he wished it happened, and that the Cat couldn’t be trusted. Before long, we got caught in a “punderstorm”, which creates a physical manifestation of a mental or emotional problem. Jaune, Weiss, Juniper, and I were sent to metaphorical and literal crossroads, while Yang and Blake were sent to two broken, wooden, rickety bridges connected to a giant pillar that they could only make more planks to advance toward if they were honest about their feelings for each other. Yeah, Yang and Blake are girlfriends now.
(As Yang and Blake blush at each other, everyone’s hearts melt, all proud for the Bees.)
REMNANT ALLIANCE: Aww!
Tumblr media
NORA: See, Ren? I told you there was more going on!
KALI: Our baby girl found love?
TAI: With my sunny little dragon?
RAVEN: Wow. She really is your daughter, Tai.
TAI: What’s that supposed to mean?
RAVEN: A tall overconfident blonde flinging dad jokes and puns and a brooding dark-haired beauty? A tale as old as time.
RUBY: Then the Cat bailed on us after mistaking us for selfishly using them to get home, and once the storm passed, Jaune let us spend the night in his house in the Origami Acre, then he introduced us the next morning to a village of paper stars called the Paper Pleasers. They seemed very dumb and clumsy at first, because of the daily disasters they were causing, but, at the end of the day, were very hospitable. He also named them after all of us. On his to-do list, I saw Ren, Ruby, Oscar, Nora, Neptune, and Pyrrha.
(Not a word is spoken as everyone exchanges concerned and uncomfortable looks with each other.)
Tumblr media
RUBY: Anyway, a Paper Pleaser told us they kept causing disasters because they wanted to ascend, because their purpose was long since finished, but Jaune was stopping them because of his belief that the tree was death. They told us that the Tree isn’t death, but resurrection, rebuilding, and rebirth.
JAUNE: That must have been our waiter, the Blake Paper Pleaser.
RUBY: Then Neo’s Jabberwalkers attacked, and while we were distracted, the Paper Pleasers finally managed to off themselves by destroying the koi pond dam and drowning in the flood, then when the girls asked me to help comfort Jaune, I blew up at them for caring more about everyone else’s feelings or getting home, taking my mental health for granted and ignoring my problems…
(Everyone leans in anxiously. Things are getting even more interesting, but not in a good way.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Weiss, Blake, Yang, and Jaune exchange looks of guilt.)
Tumblr media
RUBY: …then I ran away, came across the Abandoned Acre, and entered a mansion, where Neo had made clone illusions of Roman Torchwick, Penny, Pyrrha, Professor Lionheart, Clover, Ozpin, and Ironwood, and used them to physically and psychologically abuse me, beating me up ruthlessly and blaming me for their deaths, and when the chaos was over, I felt no will to live or be myself anymore, not helped by Torchwick’s question: “Do you really think you can stand to watch more of your friends fall? Or are you ready to admit the truth, that the world would just be better off without you?”
(The gang regards Ruby with sorrow over her being trampled by her trauma. Ozpin can be heard sniffling.)
Tumblr media
RUBY: Then Neo offered me tea made from leaves from the Tree intended to wipe me from existence. The Cat blasted her away, but then turned out to be evil and tried to possess me, while revealing that they had been trying to wear me down the whole time, then Neo fought them off and stomped Little to death, then I finally gave in, drank the tea, offing myself, and got swallowed by the Tree.
YANG: (tearing up) Oh, Rubes.
RUBY: Then I met a Blacksmith, who I also found at the market, or, rather, she found me, and then she presented me with a choice to either change my identity or be myself. I saw my mom’s weapon and was treated to a vision of the night she left with Raven on another one of Ozpin’s secret missions and never came back.
(Tai turns accusingly at Raven.)
TAI: Raven?
YANG: She lied? She left with you?
RAVEN: Yeah… Hey, like I said to her, “First time for everything.”
(The gang gives her a look.)
Tumblr media
RAVEN: Really? Sheesh. Tough crowd.
HARE: (to Ruby) Wait. What did you say your mother’s name was again?
RUBY: Summer.
HARE: (muttering) So, her uncle is Qrow, her father is Taiyang, and her sister’s mother is Raven. All are members of Team STRQ. Summer, Summer, Summer… (out loud) Summer Rose, the leader of Team STRQ, was your mother?
REMNANT ALLIANCE: (walla) Summer?…Summer Rose?…The previous silver-eyed Huntress?…That’s Summer Rose’s daughter?
RUBY: And then, I remembered my mom’s words, “I love you just the way you are,” chose to be myself, and came back to help the girls fight the Cat. And we won.
(Cheers and applause all around.)
Tumblr media
RUBY: And then Neo killed the Cat by using the Jabberwalkers to eat them. By the way, Jabberwalkers are the only creatures to prevent Ascension if they eat Afterans.
BLAKE: On my count, there were a whopping five of them.
REMNANT ALLIANCE: (walla) Five?…Five of them?…Five Jabberwalkers?
Tumblr media
SUN: Talk about overkill.
ELM: (after doing the multiplication math in her head) That’s gotta be over ninety teeth!
RUBY: And, according to the girls, Neo was possessed by the Cat, and she chose to accept Torchwick’s death and undergo her own Ascension. Oh, and Little ascended, too, into who we called Somewhat, and succeeded Jaune as the protector of the Ever After. By then, we had made it to the Tree by coming to terms with the truth, we’ll never be perfect, that even the most skilled Huntsmen and Huntresses have failed, and we walked through the door back home, landed inside the plane of the Tree, and met the Blacksmith again at her workshop. When we noticed two statues of the Brother Gods, she told us their backstory. That the Ever After was overfilled with plants and dangerous wildlife in its primordial years, but the Brothers were created to clear it out. Then they created the Afterans as well as the different acres for them to live in. They designed new creations that would replace them in maintaining the Ever After. This was how the Cat was created. They later created the Jabberwalker as a form of destruction. However, the two disagreed on whether it disrupted the balance or not and began to wage war.
OSCAR AND OZPIN: (both scoff) What else is new?
RUBY: The Blacksmith told us how balance isn’t supposed to be two opposing forces locked in battle; balance is an ecosystem, an organism, and a living thing, thus balance isn’t restored with force or manipulation, it’s restored naturally, requiring love and patience to see it through to the end. The Gods got to Remnant because the Ever After created a door to a “greater beyond” for them, so they can leave and experiment in creating new worlds as much as they like.
REN: Huh. So the Ever After existed before Remnant.
NORA: (snickering) So the Tree basically said, “You think you have life sorted out? Then get out of my house”?
RUBY: Pretty much.
(Everyone laughs at the Brother Gods basically being “kicked out of the house” by their “mom”. Some Gods they are.)
Tumblr media
YANG: Oh, my Gods, that’s such a hilarious way of looking at it. Thanks, Nora.
RUBY: Anyway, the Blacksmith told us that we impacted the Ever After significantly, just like Somewhat, Alyx, and Lewis, and that the Cat caused a bad impact. Then she de-aged Jaune, but let him keep his memories, which explains the white streak in his hair, and made us a portal in the desert on the outskirts of the city, and now you’re all caught up.
(Ruby lets go of Robyn’s hand. The freedom fighter rejoins the rest of the Alliance.)
RUBY: So, I’m happy to announce that I’m not giving up the fight to save the world anytime soon! Between Academies and Kingdoms going down and our friends’ lives being forced to abruptly end, we’ve had a lot of ups and downs over the past two years, but we always pulled ourselves back together at the end of the day, and we won’t stop now! With global unity right at our fingertips and the ability to keep moving forward and accept our failures as things to learn from, things the villains would never even fathom, we can stand up to Salem and her forces! And no longer will we be putting the entire burden of the world’s safety on one individual! My name is Ruby Rose, and I am a Huntress!
REMNANT ALLIANCE: (walla) Yes!…Great!…Alright!…Thank goodness!…Welcome back, Ruby!…Good to have you back, kid!…Way to go, Ruby!…That’s my girl!
Tumblr media
YANG: We’re so proud of you, Ruby.
RUBY: Thanks, guys. You and your support mean the world to me. And I’m just as proud to call you guys family. All of you.
(Everyone looks at Ruby with warmed hearts.)

Jaune Arc fell into ice. That's the last thing he remembered. Now he's in a strange grove with spirits watching him all the time.... He thinks they might be broken.
Team RWBY are faunas researchers who've found the discovery of the century. A human man still alive in ice. It's a contested theory that ancient humans eventually evolved into faunas and with a member of the previously thought extinct species they might just be able to prove it. Now how to get closer to him
(tldr stone age jaune dealing with modern day faunas RWBY being horny on main for him. The spirits must be crazy)
Last Man Standing
The last thing Jaune remembered that cold winter evening was sulking across the ice to get away from his cheating ex-girlfriend. What was supposed to be a romantic night of welcoming in the new year instead became the worst heartbreak of his life, made worse when she called him out as a spineless nobody that no woman would ever want. She also said his hair looked shaggy, which didn't hurt as much as the betrayal itself, but it still stung.
Then everything got fast. Then everything got cold. And then everything got dark.
When he awoke, he took a deep breath through his nose, inhaling a sweet scent of strawberries. His eyes still shut; he leaned forward to get closer to the smell. This earned him a yelp, a slap, and a scream. As his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a girl in a red hood running around the corner. Did she have dog ears?
"Where..." Jaune groaned as he leaned forward, noticing the hot air blowing over him. Though he was still partially frozen in ice, he managed to push his way through the, at best, hard slush of his cocoon. He looked down to see his clothes were soaked. "Ah, man..."
"I'm telling you, Weiss, I know what I saw!"
"Ruby Rose, the specimen has been frozen for at least a thousand years! Even if he did manage to thaw out, he wouldn't... be..."
The two young women stared at Jaune as he twisted his hoodie like a used dishrag, water spilling onto the floor. He turned and saw them, his eyes nearly as wide as theirs as they stared at one another.
For Jaune, he'd never seen anyone like them before! It was like something out of an anime. Two beautiful girls, one with pointed, dog-like ears, while the other had a long and bushy tail twitched back and forth. For them-
"CODE GRAY!" Screamed the tailed girl. She then rushed out of the room, dragging the other girl behind her. The dog-eared one glanced back with sort of sad eyes. None of it sounded good to Jaune, and considering the wailing sirens and flashing lights, he had to get out of wherever he is and fast!
Tossing on his still damp shirt, he made for the exit, accidentally knocking over a poor girl with rabbit ears. He gave a hasty apology as he continued to bolt down the hallway. Unfortunately, this caught more people's attention, and eventually a woman came barreling after him, hand on her beret to keep from flying off her small, round ears. He couldn't see much of her eyes past her designer shades, but what he could see spelled death.
"Incoming!" Jaune looked ahead, flipping backwards as his neck slammed into an extended arm. He gave a hoarse groan as he looked up to see three women towering over him. One was the same woman as before with round ears poking from her beret, the cute appearance contrasting with her snarling scowl. Another had gave a cheeky grin as she leaned forward a bit, showing off her cleavage to her catch, all the while a long, blonde tail swished about.
But the third and final woman gave no hint of any sort of emotion. Neither anger nor joy, but simple indifference. She reached behind her and pulled out a pair of handcuffs, tethered by a thick cable with glowing blue lights that ceased and revealed an opening with the click of a button. Her pointed, red dog-like ears made her look all the more intimidating.

*Ruby and Weiss are trying on wedding dresses for a war of the roses wedding*
Ruby: That dress is cute on you.
Weiss: Well yes but is it cute enough to destroy his whole life?
Ruby: Aggressive…
Weiss: You know what I mean. He’s my man. I want to watch him cry. I want to make him think down is up and up is down.
Ruby: He’s also my man.
Weiss: You’re also mine. Not the same. *Examines herself in the mirror* I look good. But do I look good enough to make his head spin? It’s so hard because we’re already at an eight and we’re pushing for a nine.
Ruby: I don’t know…
Weiss: Too aggressive?
Ruby: No it would be too aggressive if you wanted to rip his heart out and make his eyes bleed. That would be too aggressive.
Ruby: I don’t know. Definitely go with a mermaid for your curves. You have great curves.
Weiss: Hand me another mermaid.
Ruby: *Hands her a dress off the rack*
Ruby: I like it.
Weiss: Me too. Your turn. Model for me.

2, 3, 7, 20, 27, 28, 29, for the rwby ask game? If you don't mind!
2. Rank the soundtracks
From favourite to least:
V1
Not a single track I don't love. Forever iconic, each and every one.
V5
Ignite is my favorite Yang song, as is Path to Isolation for Weiss. Smile is such a tragic song of showing Ilia's parents telling her to cope by smiling, by hiding, to the present where it's twisted into an angry mantra and she's still hiding who she is in a different way. The Triumph feels like such a comeback song with how high energy it is, all our girls heading back to each other, jumping back into the fray. All that Matters is PEAK bumbleby pining angst song. All Things Must Die is glorious, and tbh I think even This Time is pretty underrated as a song for Blake/the White Fang.
V7
I find myself relistening to this one a lot. Trust Love is my favorite OP (and yes that is in part the refrences to the Little Prince I can draw). I also like Touch the Sky and Brand New Day as these kind of recovery songs for all the characters that had been at their lowest or feeling lost finding their hope and confidence, happy in themselves. Let's get Real is a song that DID get me into Renora a little, it's a bop. Was over the moon to have an Oscar song in Fear that encapsulated the theme of the volume and complimented Ozpin's fear speech. Hero makes my brain go AAAAHHHH at how it captures the hubris of Ironwood. Such a great tragic downfall song for his character. Until the End is a great listen and such a lovely surprise to have a Ruby song after so long. War is a certified banger and a great song for the RWBY vs Ace Ops fight.
V9
In fairness I don't think I've listened to this one enough, but the more I do it definitely grows on me. Inside feels like the most unique OP, Checkmate is catchy as hell, Trapdoor makes me INSANE as a Ruby spiralling song. Pleasantly surprised to have a Jaune song in Quiet that's very moving. Worthy is beautiful as a Bumbleby confession/kiss song, truly magical. As a whole I feel the songs lean into being more gentle and introspective as to the usual hardcore rock ballads we know RWBY for, even Checkmate with it's jazziness feels fresh and new. I haven't actually listened to the Edge or Guide my Way enough to have an opinion on them, but I remember liking them, Guide my Way is a nice continuation and evolution of the Red like Roses song trilogy.
V3
When it Falls is SO HARDCORE. Bleeding edge and tragedy for the death and destruction to come. I'm the One is fantastic at laying out Emerald and Mercury's trauma's and subsequently coping mechanisms. Neon is one I like to listen to a lot, it's so fun and upbeat. Divide is brutal and chilling as the song to introduce us to our main villain after seeing her for the first time in all her dark glory at the end of V3. Not Fall in Love with You is... eh. It's my Turn is a good Weiss song, but it's not one if my favorites.
V6
I really like Rising as an OP, it feels the most... magical? fantastical? idk. I like the vibes. Indomitable is what I feel like singing all the time in wake of the recent RWBY news! We really are indomitable! Nevermore as a true triumph over Blake and Yang's trauma at Adam's hands, while acknowledging the tragedy of Adam's own situation. And Big Metal Shoe is a certified banger, love all the fairytale references crammed in there. Miracle is... fine. One Thing is a great song for Neo's return and revenge quest, but I never bought into the Neo hype so I'm kinda mid on it too.
V2. SACRIFICE I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER PLEASE REPRISE IN THE SHOW LATER WITH CINDER PRETTY PLEASE. Now it's Time to Say Goodbye is an incredible banger of an OP, but it felt a little misleading considering it's a song all about losing innocence and leaving behind childhood, which feels more appropriate for V3 and the FoB than V2. Shine, Dream Come True and Boop are all fun and cute but I'm not hugely into Arkos or Renora so I'm kinda neutral on them. I'm also kind of mid on Time to Die as a song.
V8. Honestly this is just the soundtrack I find myself listening to or remembering the least, even though I really like Friend as the perfect Penny song that had me tearing up, and Truth, while short was a great bittersweet song for Cinder. And it was nice to get a Nora song too. The opening for this volume never really grew on me like all the others did (aside from the "some ROSES WILL NEVER BLOOM, SOME HEROES CHOOSE THE WRONG SIDE"). I also just associate this soundtrack with fandom arguing a lot about what song applied to who and it felt exhausting.
3. Favorite Ruby ship?
ROSEGARDEN ALL THE WAY BABY!
Tumblr media
7. Favorite lines I already answered for @hoepunkausta
20. What are you looking forward to seeing in Vacuo?
*vibrating at a frequency unknown to man* idk I think a reunion hug between Ruby and Oscar would be neat maybe. Like @aspoonofsugar has pointed out all the set up at the end of the extended epilogue points to these two having a second alchemical wedding and so their relationship having a certain amount of focus/development in Vacuo seems apparent. After so long of not seeing them onscreen together I'm excited for any interactions honestly. I miss my kids.
Wanting to see WBY all trying to support Ruby more and her actively trying but still struggling to open about how she's feeling. More of what see saw with Ruby/Yang in the Boba episode. I'd especially like Ruby and Weiss to have a heart to heart.
Very curious about what Theodore is gonna be like and whoever the hell the Summer maiden. With the Dorothy allusions and those who've lost their homes trying to make one in Vacuo, I'm expecting an exploration of "there's no place like home" to be leant into.
RAVEN. TELL US WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT MISSION WITH YOU AND SUMMER. RUBY AND YANG DESERVE TO KNOW. For real though I'm hoping we see what lead Raven to rejoin the fray too, and how she'll interact with Yang and Qrow and even Ruby, what tension might be there. Delicious family drama....
Speaking of delicious family drama, the Schnees! all reunited! I want Winter and Whitley to tackle hug Weiss to the ground! Also the Schnees appear to be being confronted with all the harm their family and company has done in a kingdom like Vacuo, so I'm curious to see how Weiss handles that. Also Winter is clearly Not Doing Good, so something I'd really like is if Weiss (as her sister) and Ruby (as a friend of Penny and someone she also offered the maiden powers too) and maybe Jaune (who was there with Penny in her final moments) offer comfort to her and they all grieve together.
Emerald. Honestly suprised we didn't get much of a sense of how she was doing in the extended epilogue, not even briefly like Mercury. But I'm super excited for what her arc holds. Seeing her integrate with the group, if Ren, Nora and Oscar are already on friendly terms with her but RWBY are all still a bit wary of her because they've spent less time together. Seeing more of her friendship with Oscar develop (gimme that Little Prince/Fox allusion with their friendship in taming each other pretty please) and like. Mercury. Emerald KNEW Mercury and Tyrian were being sent to Vacuo, she saw him off in the ship, but Ren seems suprised to see him and Tyrian on the cameras in the epilogue. Did Emerald... not tell them? Even though that's incredibly important information that could help her new allies? Because... she wanted to protect Mercury? Because she still feels conflicted? It's incredibly juicy and I can't wait to see how Emerald and Mercury's relationship comes into conflict during the Vacuo arc. Gimme that Emercury angst pretty please.
Vacuo in general. By virtue of the books I think they have the most interesting world building, the food, the culture, the different words for weather phenomenon, the fauna, the nomadic tribes, the history of being a once incredibly beautiful oasis full of everything they needed, then exploited time and again and left with nothing and yet still surviving and carving a home and life for themselves. The world building of Vacuo is one that is inevitably tied to the story because of their fraught history leading to tensions between them and all the refugees from Atlas, Mantle and Vale seeking their aid and shelter in their kingdom, not to mention the Crown seeking to restore the monarchy, it'd be easy for them to be divided and conquered by Salem, and so our heroes have to find a way to overcome that and bring everyone together. So just getting to see the kingdom animated and learn more about its history and culture would be cool. I also like desert punk aesthetic, so I'm hoping whatever new outfits our girls get will have a little of that. (part of me hopes for maybe some Trigun inspiration... we've had Gurren Laggan inspiration in Yang's outfits before!)
I would also say I'm looking forward to seeing my darling cringefail wife Cinder but I don't know if she'll be in Vacuo or with Salem in Vale wrecking shit.
27. Favorite voice performance?
AARON DISMUKE AS OSCAR HANDS DOWN. Him being the VA for Oscar meant I was destined to like him, I usually do with characters he voices. The fact he has to also voice Oscar when controlled by Ozpin, and sometimes Oscar pretending to be Ozpin, and completely nails the subtle differences in all of them is phenomenal. And as the merge progresses he's literally having to mix and merge their voices together too!!! It's crazy!!! The awkward and shy intonation becoming a more sincere and quiet confident voice as Oscar develops, and gaining Oz's mannerisms in speech with a deeper and more serious tone. That is some crazy talent this man has.
Always impressed with how well Linsay Jones and Miles Luna hold up in earlier volumes, they've consistently been the best voice performances from start to present. Also Cherami Leigh as Ilia is absolutely fantastic, it's rare I've heard her get to flex her emotional range like that in her voice work for such a complex character.
28. Fairytale character you'd want to see RWBYfied?
With how character songs are a big thing in the show and semblances that can hypnotize and mind control exist, and instruments sometimes being weapons (gestures to Flynt), I'd love an allusion to The Pied Piper or the Lorelai Siren as a villain of some kind. Bonus if you had a Little Mermaid/Lorelai Siren allusion for that victim/monster/hero duality RWBY likes to play with.
Not technically a traditional fairytale but also very much one, the Last Unicorn, one of my alltime favorite books would be beyond amazing to be alluded to, even a tiny bit. Amalthea the unicorn being the last of her kind, the rest hunted down by a wicked beast at the order of a tyrant. She is associated with silver, the moon, hope and purity constantly. A story that is both a love letter and deconstruction of fairytales, an exploration of the nature of humanity and mortality. Tell me that wouldn't be perfect as an allusion to a Silver Eyed Warrior (also thought to be a myth) trying to find out what happened to the rest of her kind.
29. Favorite opening to sing along too?
TRUST LOOOOOVVVVVEEEE AND OPEN UP YOUR EYESEESSSSS TRUST LOOOOVVVVVEEEE THE TRUTH IS THERE BUT SOMETIMES IN DISGUISE

TEAM RWBY IDEAS
some ideas i have for my rewritten version of RWBY MAIDENS Maidens can only control environments and the weather. Also they can change their surroundings, from a high tech hallway to a red maple forest (like an illusion). (so no sword making or whatever just purely environmental) - team rwby becoming the Maidens a. Ruby becomes the Spring maiden (can control flora and wind) b. Weiss becomes the Winter maiden (can create snow storms and ice powers) c. Blake becomes the Fall maiden (tornados and clouds/rain) d. Yang becomes the Summer maiden (heatwaves and thunderstorms) Maidens can used their combined powers to make combos, Fall and Winter making it hail or Fall and Summer making a dessert storm. YANG Technically she shouldve graduated at this point, however she chooses not to, after finding out that Oz invited Ruby (15) to train at Beacon Academy, she managed to convince Oz to let her redo her senior year at the academy to support Ruby. JAUNE the Jaune we know will be put in the bully team from the 1st vol, my version would be more of an androgynous-femme presenting guy BLAKE & RUBY they can make their own little book club :) BLAKE & WEISS I think Blake would stand up for Weiss (and the other way around), especially if Jacques would come to visit Beacon, after finding out that Weiss went to Beacon instead of Atlas Academy. Before Jacques would be able to hit Weiss, Blake would step in and put him in hsi place. BEACON, HAVEN, SHADE & ATLAS ACADEMY DRESS CODE Most strict in dress (1 being most strict to 4 least strict about it/only cares about results) 1. Atlas (has to wear assigned uniform, miss a tie or want to wear pants instead of a skirt? get expelled scrub (also the most discriminatory school)) 2. Shade 3. Haven 4. Beacon (''male student wears a skirt? ok and?'') Beacon Academy ''Dress Code'' Honestly they dont care if you bribe a fashion student or get a tailor to make a longer skirt or flared pants, as long that it has the Beacon Academy Pattern™️ and ''wearing'' the tie, anything goes
Tumblr media
ADAM (vs YANG & BLAKE) Making him more obsessive and weird by wearing Blake's tail (which he cut of before she escaped) as a belt. Also making him more Bull than original, because to this day i still dont see what makes him a Faunus. Like the black colored horns are cute but those can be easily mistaken for colored hair. Fall of Beacon (Adam vs Yang & Blake Round 1) Same story but instead of Yang immediately being defeated after getting her arm cut off, she powers through and uses her firey semblance the stop the bleeding in her arm, while Blake keeps up the good fight. After the bleeding stops Yang steps back into the ring to give Adam a burn scar. After losing too much blood Yang caves in while tries to keep her on her feet. Adam also takes Yangs severed arm Comm Tower (Adam vs Yang & Blake Round 2) Adam teases Yang by throwing her severed arm at her, but shrugs it off and tells him he can keep it. QROW & RAVEN Instead of turning into normal looking Ravens/Crows, they turn into a Nevermore look alike. Originally a power given by Oz, now turned curse by Salem. Both Qrow and Raven now constantly have to fight for control with their Grimm halves. Qrow has partially given up, hence the drinking, so his hands look like bird claws and his body is covered in feathers. Raven keeps her distance to avoid hurting anyone. Unbeknownst to them Salem is using their eyes to spy on Oz. SALEM/White Fang im not sure of this idea but instead of the White Fang (which will be renamed to something else) being a equal rights group, they're followers of Salem, the False Goddess, who gives promises that by serving her, they can save their world/make their world better. And that the Grimm exist to ''get rid of the bad people/sinners'' However i think there is a sort of White Fang group but only in Atlas where the most hate crimes, slavery and discrimination happens. As SDC and other companies in Atlas use Faunus for entertainment (for example Bull fighting for Adam) or for slavery. Yes that would imply that Blake was once a follower of Salem's, but turned around after the train incident. TEAM STRQ this might be the worst idea but hear me out. Team STRQ was a polyamorous quad. (in this version Raven and Qrow are >NOT< related) After Summer's death (at assuming Salem's hand), there was a lot of trust issues after, considering neither Qrow nor Raven told Tai what actually happened, and they slowly drifted apart but they all stayed in touch or checked up on the kids and Tai, Qrow would visit more often, while Raven stayed away for their (R&Y) safety. Raven and Qrow keep butting heads cuz they blame eachother for Summer's death/not saving her, but deep down they still care for eachother. Both Ruby and Yang are their kids (its Remnant they can like make kids in a tube or something). Yang has Qrow's alcohol problems (they sometimes drink together) Ruby has or had Raven's selflessness well thats all the ideas i have, nothing solid, just seeing what sticks to the wall. Admittedly the STRQ one might be a bit out there, considering Qrow and Raven are well known as siblings, and yes its weird as fuck idea to have them being/or were together as a couple. But if you remove the context of them being siblings, and see them having arguments, they argue as if they're a divorced couple. Also Qrow is more of a dad than Tai, protecting the gang when they're going on a trip, when Ruby is 15-16 yrs old (in the actual show). And generally being there for the gang. Even before Vol 4 Tai didnt even visit once, but was able to send Zwei. Qrow stayed the whole time, hanging out with Ruby and Yang but i dont remember in vol 1-3 Ruby or Yang ever calling Tai, y'know their dad? But again these are all ideas, nothing solid, just me rambling about RWBY stuff, uh uhm.... are these good ideas? most likely not feedback and criticism is appreciated :) my team rwby redesign v

DATING WEISS SCHNEE — headcanons°.✧
⤿Pairing: Weiss Schnee x Fem!Reader
⤿Content Warnings: Fluff, Weiss is your personal sugar momma credit card, she also can't cook.
⤿A/N: Weiss is a lesbian, I stand by that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
✦Her love languages include gift-giving and acts of service, you know this girl loves helping you. You need help on homework? Let her help. You're at a restaurant and want to sit down? She'll pull the chair for you. You want a drink? She'll pour a glass for you. You can't open a jar of pickles? See, this is why you need to work out sometimes.
✦Speaking of gift-giving, since Weiss has her father's credit card, she's eager to spoil you and make you happy. One time you were celebrating your birthday and walked to your room to find many of your favorite goods along with flower bouquets. You would warn her not to spend her entire money on you and get in trouble with her father, and she would huff just to declare, "I don't care what my father thinks; I just like it when you smile."
✦Your personal spot with Weiss would be a comfortable cafe where you two would catch up. It's one of the first places you two have gone during your dates. It's a memorable spot for Weiss. She'd buy your favorite drink and sit with you while having a conversation about how your days have been.
✦She really has a good fashion sense, from dressing in white dresses to white overcoats to white suits even (along with a rose in her hand).
✦On a date, you wore the baby-blue dress she had bought for you along with a dark leather jacket with boots, and I have to tell you that her jaw was wide open, but she quickly composed herself and coughed with a red blush plastered on her pale cheeks. She tried hard to contain a serious look but couldn't help but smile at your gorgeous appearance! She felt like she was going to explode—in a good way.
✦Weiss can't cook, but it's cute seeing her attempt to make something for you. With that, she's banned from the kitchen. You take the lead in cooking; she appreciates it a lot. In some days, you two would sit together and relax to eat cookies you baked (also with Ruby trying to steal one but that results in Weiss scolding her) with tea.
✦Weiss is shy with affection; she would give you a peck on the cheek or a small kiss. She would get very red if you tried to initiate a kiss; she would call you a dolt after that. On some occasions, however, she gains the confidence to sweep you off your feet. She would hold you by the waist and connect her soft lips to yours. She'd pull back with a soft look and say, "You're lucky you're cute, dolt."
✦She might come off as arrogant, a bit insensitive, and mean sometimes, but for you, she's the softest person ever. Whenever you're around, her ice queen persona suddenly disappears, and her teammates notice it, especially Yang and Blake. Yang would tease the white-haired girl, and Blake would just sit back, smirking with a book in her hands.
"Who would ever thought there's actually someone who can melt the ice queen's heart!" Yang laughs.
"Shut up you brute!" Weiss exclaims, irritated.
✦She doesn't call you any pet names much at the start of your relationship because she was timid, but after a while she loves calling you "Princess," "Honey/Hun," "Love," and with a frequent "Darling." "Dolt" is a playful nickname she calls you. She's actually pretty lovey-dovey and cheesy, and it honestly makes Ruby question whether to aw or barf.
✦Weiss loves you very much—much more than you know. She's honestly hesitant to tell her family about you out of fear, but now that you're deeper into the relationship, she's not scared to show you off; she will not care about what her father thinks, and she knows her sister will support you two. Whitley is indifferent about it; he's probably busy being a brat, Weiss thought. She is willing to fight for you; she is protective and will defend you in any way. You would do the same for her as well, and that makes her love you even more.
"You make me feel like I'm me, I just want you to know that I love you, you don't know how much I do," she smiles shyly, she kisses you and softly voices "Maybe one day, you'll take my last name."

Quick thoughts on two person ships that I've seen in the fics I like or read fics for in both HP and RWBY
Percy x Penelope: I like it it's cute. Ginny catching them snogging would probably have a greater impact on canon if Penny was someone the Weasleys had a vocal opinion of.
Percy x Audrey: It's cute in fanfic. In canon though, it suffers from the thing of canon Audrey is just a name.
Percy x Oliver: This fits into so many of my favourite tropes, it's kind of hilarious. I think this was my first Percy ship.
Percy x Marcus: Character I love shipped with a charater that absolutely would go to hell and back for the other is probably the quickest way to get me to ship two characters and Flintley isn't any different. This is my favourite Percy two person ship, hands down
Percy x Anyone in Harry's year or Ginny's year: Not getting into specific ships because this is the most common theme of Percy ships that I end up filtering out. Personally, I only see it happening post second wizarding war after both members have left Hogwarts, and I have to be in a really specific mood to read fics for these types of ships. However, depending on who Percy is shipped with, it can be cute
Penelope x Audrey: I love these two together in fanfic and I love the versatility. If you thought Perciver fit a lot of tropes, then this ship can fit more because again canon Audrey is just a name.
Penelope x Fred: I think my enjoyment of this ship heavily depends on how Fred is characterized. These two in a ship read to me as Bookworm x Prankster, and I'm really not a fan of that trope. It absolutely doesn't help that the twins are tied for my least favourite (I don't hate them but I like the other siblings better) of the book Wesley children.
Oliver x Marcus: I like the ship, and I think it's a good rivals to lovers ship. I'm pretty sure the only reason I've dropped a FlintWood fic is because I didn't vibe with the non-Flintwood ships in the fic
Ruby x Weiss: White Rose I think is partly as popular as it is because of the thing of pair off the spares. However, unlike a lot of couples I've seen with that thing, their canon interactions are pretty cute. On the other hand, their canon status of getting partnered during initiation does help their cause.
Ruby x Blake: I know I've said it for basically most of the other ships on the list but it's cute. I think I got into this ship with either a Team RWBY poly fic or a Beauty and the Beast retelling that used Ladybug
Ruby x Jaune: I like their friendship and I think a romantic relationship would be fine. I don't really ship it myself but I can see the appeal.
Weiss x Blake: I like it. However, I think it would be better in the later seasons rather than when they were in Beacon.
Weiss x Yang: Freezerburn, my beloved. I know with recent events, it's absolutely not going to be canon, but imma just vibe with their dynamic with fanfic
Weiss x Pyrrha: I think this is my favourite Weiss ship. There's a possibility of one-sided rivalry to lovers while in Beacon, and I think that's my favourite trope the ship could fall into
Weiss x Jaune: Personally prefer a friendship between the two but the volume 9 white knight moments were cute
Blake x Yang: It's cute. I'm glad they got made canon, and I want to see more cute canon moments between the two if the show does somehow get another volume. In the meantime, I will be chilling with fanfic.
Blake x Sun: Like Bumblebee, its cute. I also don't want to see discourse between it and Bumblebee.
Blake x Adam: The exception to my Blake ships that I've read are cute. The stuff I've read have sometimes had this as a past relationship for Blake and it should stay a past relationship.
Yang x Neo: Would be an interesting friendship post s3 but I don't feel comfortable shipping them romantically with recent canon events even with the Neo age discourse I've seen.

Heheh hc time bc wow I miss Weiss so much so have this lil hc of mine abt her lmfaooo
I think I posted this one before but I always believe and it's canon in my heart how she's blind on one eye bc I refuse to fucking believe her aura is that strong to fully heal that scar
Like that's a big ass sword that cut the left side of her face, girl should really not have lived through that w that tiny ass scar and still having a good left eye
But also bc I think it'd be funny, petty arguments w Yang and Weiss, and Weiss just goes "I don't wanna see you right now" and just deadass covers her right eye. Yang just loses it lmfao
But also also idk I think it'd be cute if like, the team knows that despite how skilled Weiss is, her left side is vulnerable, girlie can't see shit on her left side ofc
And it'd be fun like, RBY just knowing just that so when either of them are w Weiss, they always walk or stay on her left, they'll be her eyes on that side
Omg yess. Half-blind Weiss is such a good hc and I also wish it was real. (I do remember you posting about it.)
I’m pretty sure it was the knight’s hand punching her that gave her the scar but either way- you right fr.
Lmao Yang would fucking lose it then probably make more jokes. Her and Weiss could be such a good duo making depressed jokes about their injuries haha
Yes. The team being a better support system for her? That would be amazing especially for Weiss and ruby since they’re partners I think that would be so soft and cool.
Also it would be so dope for her left eye to be white while her right eye is blue. Could also add the angst that she covered up the injury with a color contact then they find out when she misses or something. Read some fics that hc this and it’s good! Could recommend some but I feel like u would know them too lol

I watched the movie last night after already staying up late playing Baldur's Gate 3 so work is going to suck today lmao
And Yang was so good!!! I already had high hopes for her after seeing that clip of her in serious big sister mode, but they really exceeded my expectations. It's clear without actually saying it that she's absolutely fucking haunted by almost losing Ruby in the Ever After and she's making an active effort to communicate her concerns to Ruby. I loved her starting to lose her temper during their argument and Blake putting a hand on her shoulder and grounding her so she could express herself more calmly. The silent support from the girlfriend!!!
Also, she got the best outfit, I love it.
I feel like Blake didn't get to do much, but I did love her being the one to talk to possessed Yang and being like "Did you really think you could fool me into thinking you're my girlfriend?"
The Bee kiss in the background of the picture at the end was sooooo cute, what the fuck??
Ruby's arc in the movie is one of those things that's like. I wonder how this is going to feel once we get volume 10 and this is something that ostensibly happens in the middle of it. Same with Weiss kind of coming to terms with Atlas's destruction. I guess I'm just curious whether they're writing volume 10 with the movie in mind. I'd honestly rather they didn't, probably lmao.
Just fucking murder me with "I'm not mom. I'm not Raven." Especially after volume 9. I don't know if I'm meant to reconcile "I'm not Raven" with Raven bringing them to Vacuo in the cut epilogue though. I mean, I guess it's not that hard to reconcile considering Raven coming back then wouldn't negate the years of trauma her leaving cause. I just want to know if Raven getting them is still canon even if the epilogue was cut!!!!
And Yang being reflected in Ruby's eye during that fucked me up a little. You just know they already decided to have Ruby reflected in Yang's eye in volume 9 by that point, so they knew what they were doing!!!
When Weiss left the room and no one followed her to talk to her I was like. 😭 Y'all, please. After what we went through in the Ever After? I know it's because they wanted her to have a call with Klein, but I was still like. Nooooo.
Also, I loved that Yang was the one arguing they needed to rest and Blake seemed to agree with her while Ruby and Weiss were both like "No????" Different traumas and all. And clearly only one half of this team experienced Burning the Candle.

Shadow Knight, and Girls of Light Chp II
Beacon Upper Vale High School was in chaos, to say the least.
Ruby Rose, the unofficial mascot of the school, had dragged Jaune Arc, the semi-official public image of terror (As he was voted in a online poll by the students and teachers, not that Jaune knew), to her friends table during free period.
It should not go unstated about how clashing this image was.
Ruby Rose, adorable, short, shy, but bursting with life and cheerfulness. There was not a room that did not rise in happiness simply from being there.
She may be shy, but that did not stop her from raising to the top of the schools track and field team, and could be unstoppable excited and talkative once her interests were brought up.
She had was also very, very cute, and glowed with health, with a certain contradictory cuteness, of being both sporty, shy, and gothic in the way she dressed, making it no wonder she was one of the most desirable girls in the school.
Ruby also had a very beautiful sister, Yang, and very beautiful friends. Her mother was also very well liked as a teacher, and her father was a very well-respected member of the community, and taught self-defense.
She did well in class, took good notes, was helpful to everyone and anyone. There was nobody in the school who could think of a meaningful insult against the small girl. Both faculty and students loved her being here.
Jaune Arc, intimidating, looming, suffocating, and looking at him for too long was like putting a razor blade to one eyes. Simply being in the same room as him put one at risk of losing minutes off they're life-span due to the sheer stress of his presence.
He was quiet, and dressed like a bum in dirty, greasy, and torn clothes. He made no effort to talk to anyone, was in a perpetual state of sleeping in the corner of the room, and ignored anyone that wasn't Lie Ren or, Nora Valkyrie (Even then, from a outsider's perspective he didn't even seem to acknowledge them half the time).
He remained just a hair above flunking out of school, or being expelled, with a sudden history of violence that appeared just into his sophomore year, attacking his long time bully with a brutality that was expected from death-row prisoner, not a regular schoolboy. When Cardin returned the favor, it resulted in one of the biggest incidents in the schools history.
Any friends Jaune had before then went up in smoke, beside Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie, and theory's ran wild as to what had changed the formerly nice and sweet, if clumsy boy who asked Weiss Schnee out with a guitar in junior high.
His new appearance hadn't helped either, as stated his clothes are mess, but so is the rest of him. His skin looked so pale that it was almost chalky white, his eyes had perpetually dark purple-black bags, eyes bloodshot, hair uncut, messy, and tangled, he looked like a dead man walking half the time, and there was tangible fear in the air around that he might drop dead any moment. He had also bulked up considerably looking like he could drop a grown bull with a punch, and grown closer to six and half feet then just six foot.
Theory's ran wild when he wasn't around, with all kind of ideas to what made him this way. From getting hooked on drugs and steroids, to having developed a fatal disease and this was his way of rebelling against society in his final days, to being a secret agents, or even him fighting a one-man shadow war against some ancient evil.
The last one was a lot peoples favorites, including Nora, though considering Nora was rumor-mill it's entirely possible she was the one who made up to get him some good publicity.
Thus, when the 5'4 girl was enthusiastically pulling the hand of the pale 6'4 giant, who seemed half-asleep and moving like a glacier, to the table of the most desirable girls in the school, it created shock-waves through the rumor mill.
-----
Jaune felt the tension in the air as hundreds of pairs of eyes stalked him. He kept his head up though, his shoulders wide, and steps confident, like he belonged here. Even if he didn't, but he wasn't about to show any weakness.
Still, he really didn't want to be here. Truthfully, he thought about just brushing Ruby off and just going to take a nap somewhere. But, somewhere inside him, there was a vulnerable part of him that thought it might be fun to hang out with her.
He scowled at the unbidden thought, that was naive and childish to think. He didn't have the luxury to play teenager with her. He looked down at her little hand that was nearly hidden under his, he could break it so easily, like breathing.
A cold-shock went through him, what was he thinking? Where had that come from? Unforunately, these thoughts were becoming more frequent over the past year. It seemed his lifestyle of nightly death-battles was not good for his mental health, who could have guessed.
All the more reason to ditch her, the last thing he needed was to accidentally hurt a good person like Ruby. He who fights monsters and all that.
"And here, we are!" What? How'd they get here so fast, and where had they been going? "Ladies, introducing my new bff, Jaune Arc!" Jaune suddenly realized he was standing in front of the most valued girls in the school.
Crap. This was the last thing he wanted.
Ruby who was holding his hand, which he tried to slide away from, but she had a surprising strong grip.
A white-haired girl looked at him coldly.
"Weiss Schnee, charmed."
Just looking at her brought back embarrassing memories. Not that he thought for a second that she would remember him, Weiss was the heiress of the Schnee fortune, and a budding musical diva.
She also topped the charts of the schools grades, and might actually be a genius.
"Same." Jaune muttered tiredly, which bought him a sharp stared from her.
What did she expect him to make a effort, with that attitude? Ha. No. Any feelings he had toward romance died when he saw the true danger of the dark. How could hold a love together, when Jaune barely kept his body together. He almost scowled as he felt his stitch burn.
"Yo, it's the big bad boy of Beacon!" The blonde of the table smiled at him like a old-friend, which was weird since Jaune couldn't even remember being in the same room as her for more than five seconds. "Yang Xiao-Long, this brats cool older sis!"
That she is. The blonde bombshell of the school with the only thing matching her heat is her temper, the amount of guys that had been nut-checked by her was nearly triple digits. Which wasn't helped by her being the champion of the girls boxing team.
"Yang!" He heard Ruby say, but Jaune paid her little mind, as the blonds eyes made contact with him, and Jaune saw through her act, there was no warmth in them. She did not like him, and taking a guess, she didn't want him around her sister. That was fine, he wasn't sticking around.
He also realized he was in striking range of her, and angled his pelvis away from any 'accidental' nut checks.
She noticed him noticing, and her eyes expressed disappointment.
"Cool. I got sisters too." Jaune said offhandedly. "Parents too." She waited for a second to seem if he had anything else to say.
"Yeah, uh, most people do." She added lamely.
"Not everyone, though." He added, thinking of Nora who lived with foster parents.
"Yeah, that's true. Anyway, welcome over, come sit down." She said patting next to her. It was the end of the table, with space for only one.
Jaune nodded, sitting down next to her, as Ruby sat on her other side.
Across him was a dark-haired girl, with a bow on her head, eyebrow deep into a book. She didn't seem to realize that he was here, that was fine with Jaune, though.
He felt Yang move under the table, and he almost dodge on reflex, till he realized that he was not her target. The dark-haired girl yelped and jump up.
"What was that for, Yang?" She had kicked her, Jaune realized her, why would she do that?
"What ever could you mean?" Yang asked innocently.
The book-girl narrowed on him. "Who is this,-" She paused. "Wait, no, why is here?"
"He's my new best friend forever, and yours too!" Ruby told her bluntly. Yang chuckling, while Weiss sighed, and a yet to be introduced Red-head inspected him.
Book girl looked at him with amber eyes, they did not look friendly.
"Blake Belladonna."
"Jaune Arc."
"I know that."
"I was introducing myself."
"I know that, too."
"Then, I guess, you know that you're being an ass, too?" Jaune said bluntly.
The table sat in shock.
Blake scowled at him, and then dove back into her book. Looks like she didn't know that.
Yang fell over laughing over herself.
"Jaune! Blake!" Ruby yelled at both of them, unsure of who to scold, looking between like a angry puppy.
Weiss briefly giggled, then hastily killed any evidence that it had ever happened.
With the red-head smiling good-naturally, Jaune didn't trust a smile that fake looking.
Blake scowled at him, and for second, he thought he heard hissing, shadows darkening around her. Then she huffed, diving back into her book.
Blake Belladona was an enigma, she showed up last year out of nowhere, and nobody knew where she came from, or who she was related too, but she was important somehow. She was pretty, and her mysterious air brought her plenty of attention, from those looking to find out what she was about.
Jaune ignored her for now, focusing on the last girl.
"Do I need to introduce myself, again?" He asked, not with annoyance, but curiously.
The red-head giggled. "No, you don't have too. Pyrrha Nikos." She said simply, with the same fake smile, but her eyes looked anxious and expectant.
"Cool. Anyway," He turned to Ruby. "Mind if I leave, I got stuff to do."
Jaune didn't see it, but he practically felt Pyrrha's eyes burrow into his head.
"Uh, Jaune. Do you not know who Pyrrha is?" Ruby said nudging her head unsubtly towards her.
Jaune shrugged. A bit, some hot-shot from Argus, but that was it. When she transferred over last year, he had been busy with important things like hunting Shadow Monster. So, he hadn't exactly been busy with the rumor mill.
"Should I?" She wasn't some goddess in the flesh was she? That would be awkward.
He turned to Pyrrha, and noticed her smile was gone, but her eyes seemed brighter. "I'm not buying any religion your selling, I'm content knowing the Brothers have my soul."
The table was once again silent, and Jaune got up. "Bye." Leaving to find a place to go take a nap.
-----
"I can't believe that ruffian would just leave us like that! Does he know how many boys would die just to have one of us look at us?"
"Hey! He's not bad! He's just a bit shy is all!"
"Eh. I could take him or leave him, he gives off bad vibes, I think."
"He should stay far away, if he knows what good for him."
The girls were talking, but Pyrrha was lost in thought. Jaune was an anomaly to her now. She had known he was different before, but now she knew he was unique.
Was he playing dumb, or was he just not interested? She didn't like the attention her celebrity status brought, but paradoxically it was a good indicator of a person when she first met them, to help gauge a reaction.
But, she didn't think the local outcast would think she was a cultist! How humorous.
"What do you think, P-Money?" Yang asked, trying to see if they could tip the balance on they're opinion of the newcomer, hopefully to deter Ruby from inviting him again.
Pyrrha hummed thoughtfully. "Interesting, I think he's interesting."
"Well, I guess that's a good enough, for a vote of confidence." Yang announced blandly.
"How'd you meet him Ruby?" Pyrrha asked curiously.
"Oh! You girls should have seen it! He was so awesome, like a warlord out of legend! Cardin was trying to ask me out again, and wouldn't let me leave!"
"What?" Yang asked dangerously. "Did you, you have to?"
Ruby shook her head. "No, Jaune saw me. I didn't have to use any... stuff."
Pyrrha raised a brow. "He did? Cardin never goes without his little gang, how'd he get pasted him?"
"Well, Cardin was like oh, you're so pretty, we should kiss, and Jaune just comes up from behind him, and knocks his goons down like bowling pins, and then grabs Cardin by the shoulder, and I think I might have heard bone break, and Jaune said, hey that's my bff! You let go, so we can go hang out! So, Cardin said, please don't kill me, I think, and we left."
Blake looked at Yang, asking for a translation, who shrugged. "Seems like it's mostly accurate, not like we're going to get the other two sides of the story."
Pyrrha listened with interest. So, not just a outcast, but a warrior too?
My, my, he was growing more interesting my the moment. Pyrrha thought to herself.
Weiss flipped her hair dismissively. "Let me guess, and he said the best way to pay him back was to introduce him to us?"
Ruby blushed. "Actually, I might have exaggerated a bit, I was the one that said we should be bff's. He just told Cardin what's what, and then pulled me away, and asked if I was ok, and tried to leave."
The table listened intently. "He actually is very kind, his eyes looked so concerned when he was helping me, just looking inside, I know he's a big softie. So, I told him we're going to be bff's from now on, 'cause, he might be big and strong, but he look so lonely, all the time. So, from now on, I'm going to work at making him a the good guy, I know he is!"
Weiss looked away. "Hmm. I guess, he might not be a terrible addition to the group. Could keep the unwanted guests away."
"Well, if you say he's a good guy, I'll believe in you, Sis."
Blake was still looking at her book. "Well see if he's really as good as you believe he is."
Pyrrha said nothing, nodding contently, but internally, she couldn't help but feel excited for the future in the first in years. First the Shadow Knight, and now? They had a project to work on at school, too.
How wonderful.
----
Jaune watched his guts spill out of his abdomen, pale and shiny ropes falling out of him.
His hands touched his them unbelieving, still warm.
Surprisingly, he noticed was still standing up. He was in the woods, the full moon shining down on him, something in the darkness looked at him, evil eyes staring at him.
It was faster than human could react.
The last thing he saw was his body still standing, but with blood spurting out of his headless neck.
With a sigh, Jaune rubbed his eyes, getting up. He had another death-dream, which wasn't the worse one he could have.
They came along every couple of days, or hours, he wasn't sure anymore. He only slept for a couple hours at most, so his sense of time was gone.
Getting up, he went to his drawer, pulling out the notebook and opened it.
It was full to the brim full of his neat, compact hand writing. It also had no more space to write in.
So, he titled it vol. 15, put it away in a trunk at the end of his bed, and started a new book, recording his experiences from the last night, reflecting on what he could have done better and how he'd improve for tonight.
Going over battle after battle in his head, thinking of how he was going to improve, and erase the mistakes for his next encounter with something like the Wolf-Monster.
He only had one life, and he would not surrender it cheaply.
But, he also thought back to the those Flying Girls. They were an enemy now, but also so far out of his weight-class it wasn't even funny.
How was he even going to compete with them if they want him dead? Why would they want him dead, also? Weren't they on the same side, more or less? Had he crossed some unseen line?
Maybe, his theory about them being goverment weapons were right? Were they Black-Site Projects, maybe, he had killed too many Shadow-Monsters, and was interfering with an experiment?
What ever the case, they were a problem now, and that meant he was screwed if he didn't think how to counter them, no doubt, they were already thinking of how to improve against him, and wouldn't fall for the same trick, twice.
But, that didn't mean he couldn't exploit the weaknesses he noticed.
Writing in the note book, he started a list.
No sense of unity. They very much fight as champions rather than as a team.
Still weak to sensory damage, so probably need to breath too.
Invulnerable to conventional damage, seemingly. But, can't see in the dark? Or weak to sudden change in environment?
Don't seem used to fighting humans, or ones that fight dirty, or are skilled.
Unskilled fighters, it seems. Cocky, too. Possibly easily baited?
Still need light to see.
If they still need to breath, and are sensitive to chemicals to the sense's, they probably won't react well to chemical weapons, smoke inhaliation, or injesting poison.
Jaune nodded to himself, that was all he could think of at the moment. It wasn't time to hunt yet, but it was getting dark. He'd need to prepare before he went hunting tonight, so locking away his new notebook, he slips out into the night, heading to his workshop.

If there’s one thing I don’t like about RWBY: Beyond, it was the choice to make it fully voice-acted. While I do absolutely love what we were given, it’s really obvious that CRWBY was working with whatever resources they had left, and were unable to get many of the show’s voice actors back before Rooster Teeth shut down, so they couldn’t make many stories for the miniseries.
So, what I think would have made for a good RWBY: Beyond episode is @pmpknsoup’s post featuring Ruby and Robyn that I’ve brought up too many times on this blog.
Tumblr media
This will be the third time I touch on that post, but I can’t promise that it will be the last.
Feel free to comment or reblog how you think this would have gone.
———————————————————————————-
(In Theodore’s office in Shade Academy at early evening, Team RWBY and Jaune Arc face the main members of the Remnant Alliance, consisting of Team JNPR plus Oscar Pine/Ozpin and Emerald Sustrai, Team STRQ, the Ace-Ops, the Happy Huntresses, Winter Schnee, Team SSSNN, Team CFVY, Whitley Schnee, Willow Schnee, Klein Sieben, Maria Calavera, Dr. Pietro Polendina, Ghira Belladonna, Kali Belladonna, Ilia Amitola, Bartholomew Oobleck, Peter Port, Glynda Goodwitch, Theodore, Xanthe Rumpole, and Zwei.)
Tumblr media
RUBY: Listen. Thanks, everyone, for your patience.
Tumblr media
RUBY: It took a while to figure out how to tell you, and I know being left in the dark about our whereabouts over the remainder of the winter, the whole spring, and the summer has left you anxious, but now, I’ve decided it’s time to reveal what’s been going on. Robyn, I’ll need your Semblance to prove all of this correct.
ROBYN: Uh, okay.
(Robyn steps away from the group, removes her glove, and joins hands with Ruby. Her Semblance turns on and glows green with every piece of information Ruby gives.)
ROBYN: So, you guys didn’t make it out of the pocket dimension before it collapsed. Where did you guys fall to?
RUBY: Well, after I fell, I regained consciousness on a beach surrounded by giant seashells. I tried to hone in on a giant tree, but just ended up looping in circles. Eventually, I had to stop, then found a mouse trying to pull a plant out of the ground. I pulled the plant, which turned out to be a cheese plant, out for the mouse, and fed it to them. After the mouse revealed that they could talk, I named them Little, and they decided to stay by my side as I tried to get home. Then we found Weiss and Blake captured in vines by a whole village of talking mice. It didn’t take much convincing to get them to let them go. Then we went to look for Yang and found a creepy Grimm-looking creature moving jerkily. And I mean very creepy. (IMITATING JABBERWALKER) “Stalking. Searching. Waiting. Listening.” (NORMAL VOICE) Then Yang came barreling out, already fighting the creature while missing her arm. Then Blake realized we were in our favorite childhood fairy tale, The Girl Who Fell Through the World.
(Confusion and wonder all around. “That fairy tale?” “The Ever After?” “It’s real?”)
Tumblr media
OSCAR: That fairy tale actually happened? And the Ever After is real?
RUBY: Which meant the creepy Grimm-like creature was the Jabberwalker from that story. Also, Weiss had a very hard time wrapping her head around the Ever After’s absurdities.
(Weiss blushes with embarrassment.)
WEISS: I did not.
RUBY: Our hands are glowing green, Weiss. Robyn’s Semblance never fails. Then we went to the village in the King’s Acre to barter with the Jinxy Peddler, who had stolen Yang’s arm. Well, they don’t “steal”, they just “take things others aren’t looking at”. Fair is fair, right, Little?
ROBYN: Sounds like a legitimate businessperson.
WEISS: Right?
EMERALD: Wait, you guys met the Jinxy Peddler?
VELVET: Was he cute?
WEISS: Cute? He was adorable!
RUBY: And, despite being older than he was in the book, his strategy was the same, selling treasures that are really other items in disguise. If my memory serves me right, he had a yellow scepter, a pink rabbit statue, and a marionette-like doll. Toy soldiers won the scepter, and we only got it back from them because Little tried stealing the marionette, exposing Jinxy’s treasures as fakes. The rabbit statue was another mouse, the scepter was Yang’s arm, and the marionette was one of Penny’s Floating Array swords. The soldiers followed us to arrest us for stealing Yang’s arm, or “royal property”, before I traded Penny’s sword, and told them she was the greatest warrior to ever live. “She was touched by magic, and she gave her life for thousands. She took a message of hope to the stars, and she saw the world through better eyes.”
(The gang gets emotional, especially Winter and Pietro, who are comforted by their loved ones.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
RUBY: The soldiers escorted us to the Crimson Castle for the birthday of who we thought was the Red King, but turned out to be the Red Prince, who was more of a spoiled brat than Weiss was at Beacon.
YANG: (nudging Weiss) Heh-heh.
RUBY: We challenged him to a game of chess, where he shrunk the girls to the size of chess pawns. Not that it hindered their performance against the Prince’s pawns. When we revealed that we’re humans and beat him, he threw a tantrum and wanted us beheaded, and the Curious Cat rescued us.
(More interested chatter. Nora Valkyrie gets giddy.)
NORA: The Curious Cat?!
REN: Were they as chatty as the book made them out to be?
RUBY: Mm-hm. Not to mention easily distracted. Anyway, they took us to look for ingredients for a Growgurt Parfait in the Garden’s Acre, and we told them our life story, but because we kept getting distracted with our internal conflicts, we kept losing them over and over again. After the third time, when they asked me how I’m supposed to save the world now that Salem has two out of four Relics and that Atlas is gone, we met an herbalist, a caterpillar named Herb who seemed to be asking us questions to figure out what medicine he needed to make to help us. Looking back, he was being reasonable, as too little medicine is useless, but too much medicine is toxic. Eventually, Herb just decided to smoke a hookah for a bit and drugged us with leaves that made us see our past selves tempting us to “go back”. To be free. To be simple. To be whole. To be different. The other girls rejected and had already accepted their failures as something to learn from, but I almost gave in, before the Cat stopped me, then got Herb swallowed by a hole in the ground.
(The gang chatters in moods ranging from confusion to nervousness.)
TAI: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up. You guys did drugs?
QROW: Don’t let alcoholism be next, girls.
RUBY: Anyway, the Cat led us to a market to keep looking for the Parfait ingredients. Along the way, they told us about a process that occurs when an Afteran is no longer doing their assigned role, triggered by them losing their ways, wearing out, doubting themselves, or even just finishing their assigned tasks, upon which they are taken to the Great Tree and repurposed into someone or something else with a new identity, personality, and role. Their memories are erased in the process, but the heart very rarely forgets. They don’t die. They ascend.
(Such a concept catches the interest of the gang.)
REMNANT ALLIANCE: Ooh.
EMERALD: Talk about a potential existential crisis.
Tumblr media
RUBY: Hence why there was no Red King when we got to the Castle. He lost his game and ascended into the brat we encountered. And the hole that swallowed Herb was him starting his own Ascension. Anyway, after we arrived at the market and got all of the Parfait ingredients, the market was attacked by Jabberwalkers using Neopolitan’s Semblance. Yeah, Neopolitan fell with us, too.
(Nora, Ren, Oscar, and Emerald grow worried.)
REN: Uh-oh.
Tumblr media
TAI: Neopolitan? Who’s that?
RUBY: Remember Roman Torchwick, the criminal from Vale? Neo was his partner. She held me responsible for his death at the Fall of Beacon and wanted me dead to avenge him. She expressed herself through gestures and facial expressions because she couldn’t talk.
RAVEN: Was she that chick I saved Yang from on the train on Mountain Glenn?
RUBY: Yep. Then I disposed of her by opening her umbrella on an Atlas airship in the sky during the Fall of Beacon. Apparently she survived that fall without any of those Grimm surrounding us eating her.
OSCAR: Team JNPR and I last fought her right after Ironwood declared us fugitives.
RUBY: Then she fought us in the pocket dimension between here and Solitas. Heck, she was the reason Yang, Blake, and I fell. Anyway, we made the Growgurt Parfait and the girls grew back to normal size just as we got assistance from the Rusted Knight riding his white rabbit.
WHITLEY: Did Weiss go goo-goo eyes the second she laid eyes on him? She had a crush on him when she was younger.
BLAKE: I think everyone had a crush on the Rusted Knight at some point.
RUBY: Well, things didn’t help when he turned out to be a grown-up Jaune with longer hair and a beard, who grabbed a fruit that sent him back in time twenty years right after he landed.
(The gang gasps at the new knowledge of the Rusted Knight being not only Jaune, of all people, but Jaune thrown backwards in time, grown older, and living without his friends for so long.)
Tumblr media
NORA: Oh, my Gods! Jaune!
JAUNE: I was stuck there isolated from other human contact, too.
YANG: Weiss certainly loved how mature he was.
RUBY: And the white rabbit was a jackalope Jaune named Juniper.
NORA: After his team? Aww!
RUBY: Then Jaune told us his perspective on the Tree, that he believed it was death, that Alyx backstabbed her brother Lewis, the author of the fairy tale, who wrote the story the way he wished it happened, and that the Cat couldn’t be trusted. Before long, we got caught in a “punderstorm”, which creates a physical manifestation of a mental or emotional problem. Jaune, Weiss, Juniper, and I were sent to metaphorical and literal crossroads, while Yang and Blake were sent to two broken, wooden, rickety bridges connected to a giant pillar that they could only make more planks to advance toward if they were honest about their feelings for each other. Yeah, Yang and Blake are girlfriends now.
(As Yang and Blake blush at each other, everyone’s hearts melt, all proud for the Bees.)
REMNANT ALLIANCE: Aww!
Tumblr media
NORA: See, Ren? I told you there was more going on!
KALI: Our baby girl found love?
TAI: With my sunny little dragon?
RAVEN: Wow. She really is your daughter, Tai.
TAI: What’s that supposed to mean?
RAVEN: A tall, muscular, boisterous blonde who tells bad jokes pining after a brooding dark-haired beauty? A tale as old as time.
RUBY: Then the Cat bailed on us after mistaking us for selfishly using them to get home, and once the storm passed, Jaune let us spend the night in his house in the Origami Acre, then he introduced us the next morning to a village of paper stars called the Paper Pleasers. They seemed very dumb and clumsy at first, because of the daily disasters they were causing, but, at the end of the day, were very hospitable. He also named them after all of us. On Jaune’s to-do list, I saw Ren, Ruby, Oscar, Nora, Neptune, and Pyrrha.
(Not a word is spoken as everyone exchanges concerned and uncomfortable looks with each other.)
Tumblr media
RUBY: Anyway, a Paper Pleaser told us they kept causing disasters because they wanted to ascend, because their purpose was long since finished, but Jaune was stopping them because of his belief that the tree was death. They told us that the Tree isn’t death, but resurrection, rebuilding, and rebirth. Then Neo’s Jabberwalkers attacked, and while we were distracted, the Paper Pleasers finally managed to off themselves by destroying the koi pond dam and drowning in the flood, then when the girls asked me to help comfort Jaune, I blew up at them for caring more about everyone else’s feelings or getting home, taking my mental health for granted and ignoring my problems…
(Everyone leans in anxiously. Things are getting even more interesting, but not in a good way.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Weiss, Blake, Yang, and Jaune exchange looks of guilt.)
Tumblr media
RUBY: …then I ran away, came across the Abandoned Acre, and entered a mansion, where Neo had made clone illusions of Roman Torchwick, Penny, Pyrrha, Professor Lionheart, Clover, Ozpin, and Ironwood, and used them to physically and psychologically abuse me, beating me up ruthlessly and blaming me for their deaths, and when the chaos was over, I felt no will to live or be myself anymore, not helped by Torchwick’s question: “Do you really think you can stand to watch more of your friends fall? Or are you ready to admit the truth, that the world would just be better off without you?”
(The gang regards Ruby with sorrow over her being trampled by her trauma. Ozpin can be heard sniffling.)
Tumblr media
RUBY: Then Neo offered me tea made from leaves from the Tree intended to wipe me from existence. The Cat blasted her away, but then turned out to be evil and tried to possess me, while revealing that they had been trying to wear me down the whole time, then Neo fought them off and stomped Little to death, then I finally gave in, drank the tea, offing myself, and got swallowed by the Tree.
YANG: (tearing up) Oh, Rubes.
RUBY: Then I met a Blacksmith, who I also found at the market, or, rather, she found me, and then she presented me with a choice to either change my identity or be myself. I saw my mom’s weapon and was treated to a vision of the night she left with Raven on another one of Ozpin’s secret missions and never came back.
(Tai turns accusingly at Raven.)
TAI: Raven?
YANG: She lied? She left with you?
RAVEN: Yeah… Hey, like I said to her, “First time for everything.”
(The gang gives her a look.)
Tumblr media
RAVEN: Really? Sheesh. Tough crowd.
HARE: (to Ruby) Wait. What did you say your mother’s name was again?
RUBY: Summer.
HARE: (muttering) So, her uncle is Qrow, her father is Taiyang, and her sister’s mother is Raven. All are members of Team STRQ. Summer, Summer, Summer… (out loud) Summer Rose, the leader of Team STRQ, was your mother?
REMNANT ALLIANCE: (walla) Summer?…Summer Rose?…The previous silver-eyed Huntress?…That’s Summer Rose’s daughter?
RUBY: Yeah. And then, I finally remembered my mom’s words, “I love you just the way you are,” chose to be myself, and came back to help the girls fight the Cat. And we won.
(Cheers and applause all around.)
Tumblr media
RUBY: And then Neo killed the Cat by using the Jabberwalkers to eat them. By the way, Jabberwalkers are the only creatures to prevent Ascension if they eat Afterans.
BLAKE: On my count, there were a whopping five of them.
REMNANT ALLIANCE: (walla) Five?…Five of them?…Five Jabberwalkers?
Tumblr media
SUN: Talk about overkill.
ELM: (after doing the multiplication math in her head) That’s gotta be over ninety teeth!
RUBY: And, according to the girls, Neo was possessed by the Cat, and she chose to accept Torchwick’s death and undergo her own Ascension. Oh, and Little ascended, too, into who we called Somewhat, and succeeded Jaune as the protector of the Ever After. By then, we had made it to the Tree by coming to terms with the truth, we’ll never be perfect, that even the most skilled Huntsmen and Huntresses have failed, and we walked through the door back home, landed inside the plane of the Tree, and met the Blacksmith again at her workshop. When we noticed two statues of the Brother Gods, she told us their backstory. That the Ever After was overfilled with plants and dangerous wildlife in its primordial years, but the Brothers were created to clear it out. Then they created the Afterans as well as the different acres for them to live in. They designed new creations that would replace them in maintaining the Ever After. This was how the Cat was created. They later created the Jabberwalker as a form of destruction. However, the two disagreed on whether it disrupted the balance or not and began to wage war.
OSCAR AND OZPIN: (both scoff) What else is new?
RUBY: The Blacksmith told us how balance isn’t supposed to be two opposing forces locked in battle; balance is an ecosystem, an organism, and a living thing, thus balance isn’t restored with force or manipulation, it’s restored naturally, requiring love and patience to see it through to the end. The Gods got to Remnant because the Ever After created a door to a “greater beyond” for them, so they can leave and experiment in creating new worlds as much as they like.
NORA: (snickering) So the Tree basically said, “You think you have life sorted out? Then get out of my house”?
RUBY: Pretty much.
(Everyone laughs at the Brother Gods basically being “kicked out of the house” by their “mom”. Some Gods they are.)
Tumblr media
YANG: Oh, my Gods, that’s such a hilarious way of looking at it. Thanks, Nora.
RUBY: Anyway, the Blacksmith told us that we impacted the Ever After significantly, just like Somewhat, Alyx, and Lewis, and that the Cat caused a bad impact. Then she de-aged Jaune, but let him keep his memories, which explains the white streak in his hair, and made us a portal in the desert on the outskirts of the city, and now you’re all caught up.
(Ruby lets go of Robyn’s hand. The freedom fighter rejoins the rest of the Alliance.)
RUBY: So, I’m happy to announce that I’m not giving up the fight to save the world anytime soon. No longer will we be putting the entire burden of the world’s safety on one individual, for we are Team Remnant, led by us, Team RWBY!
REMNANT ALLIANCE: (walla) Yes!…Great!…Alright!…Thank goodness!…Welcome back, Ruby!…Good to have you back, kid!…Way to go, Ruby!…That’s my girl!
Tumblr media
YANG: We’re so proud of you, Ruby.
RUBY: Thanks, guys. You and your support mean the world to me. And I’m just as proud to call you guys family. All of you.
(Everyone looks at Ruby with warmed hearts.)

What do you think a Roleswap!Nuts n Dolts would be like? As in, Ruby's the robot and Penny’s a human?
"Sal-U-Tations~!" The strange girl greeted, picking herself up from the ground.
"Um, hi." R-13Y replied, her voice the same tone and pitch as when she greeted everyone she met.
"Uh, you okay?" Yang asked, noting the stranger being easily knocked over by her teammate.
"I'm super~! Thanks for asking~!" She replied. "I'm Penny, it's wonderful to meet all of you~!"
"Hello, Penny," R-13Y tried to match the pitch, but found it too high to imitate, "I am designate Romeo-tac-one-three-Yankee."
"I'm Weiss."
"Blake."
"Uh, could you not get so close to my sister?" Yang moved between Penny and R-13Y, the former of the two having stepped too close to the latter. "I'm Yang, by the way."
"Thanks for asking~!" Penny replied, stepping away.
"Uh, no problem?" Yang quirked a brow. "Also, you already said that."
"...Oh, so I did~!" Penny giggled, knocking her head with both fists while sticking her tongue out.
"Uh... huh..." Yang looked to her friends, all of whom shrugged, with the exception of her sister. "Anyways, we gotta go."
"Until then, new friend!" R-13Y called out, repeating the same words said at every farewell. However, this one was met with a much different response.
"W-Wait!" Penny called out, only to cover it as she realized how deep it sounded. "Um, I mean, wait~!" Penny took R-13Y's hand. "You called me your new friend, right? I mean, you did, didn't you?"
"Correct." The rest of the team silently lamented the response given to the weird girl.
"A-Are... I mean, do you... Can we be friends?" Penny asked.
"I see no negative outcomes to this union."
Penny looked like she was about to cry. "Sen... sational~! I can't wait to try on clothes, and paint our nails, and talk about cute boys~!"
"My chassis requires no ornamentation, and paint must only be applied as directed." There was a whir after R-13Y spoke. "I have no data on the subject of 'cute boys,' and I must resolve this."
"Oh, I have PLENTY to talk about since the tournament is coming up~!"
"Wait, are you competing?" Weiss asked. "What Academy are you fighting for?"
"I'm fighting for Atlas Academy, and I can promise," Penny saluted, "I am always combat ready~!"
"...You could've fooled me." Yang remarked.
"Says the girl wearing booty shorts." Weiss snarked.
"Hey! Cargo shorts for combat sports!" Yang held out her fist to Blake, who eagerly obliged.
"Hell yeah~!" Penny jumped in, providing the softest tap of a fist-bump ever, earning judgmental looks from everyone but Ruby. She backed away, awkwardly coughing. "Um, should we go?"
--------------------------------------------------
"Excuse me, I think you dropped this- OH!"
"Penny?" Weiss exclaimed, seeing their friend for the first time in months.
"Uh, n-no..." Penny's hand suddenly twitched, like she was trying to squeeze her hand, but suddenly decided to let go. "Pardon me!" She ran.
"What was that all about?"
"Results... unknown." R-13Y locked onto Penny. "Beginning investigation."
"Investi-what- WHOA!" Weiss was suddenly knocked off her feet as her android partner literally rocketed herself down the street.
Penny turned at the sound of screaming, finding her friend coming at her like a missile. She ran down the alley, hoping the sharp right would be a deterrent. However, R-13Y simply angled upward and gave chase from overhead, just above the rooftops. Penny slowed, thinking she'd bought herself enough time, only her those thoughts, and the pavement ahead, were shattered by the sudden air-drop arrival of her friend, Ruby.
"I have cornered you." R-13Y announced, closing in on Penny. "Do not resist."
Penny shook, eyes wide in fear. She fell to her knees as the android drew closer. She shut her eyes, wishing this nightmare would be over. She felt a pressure on her collar and flinched. Tears began to form in her eyes.
"Penny." She opened her eyes to find Ruby staring at her. "I require data to resolve my friend's pain."
There were murmurs from down the alley, as a crowd began to form. Some among the crowd were pushing, and they were wearing Atlas uniforms. Penny whispered to her friend. "It isn't safe to talk here."
R-13Y was silent for a moment before responding. "Confirmed." Taking hold of Penny, the two launched skyward, slowly spiraling as Penny clung to her friend, even as they landed on the rooftop of an old building by the docks. "Low activity in preparations for the festival tournament. Will this suffice?"
Penny looked around. No huntsmen, Atlas or otherwise. She sighed. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." R-13Y replied in a dull, robotic tone. "Question; explain your whereabouts here on the night of Roman Torchwick's dust heist."
"I'm..." Penny rubbed her arm. "My father asked me to return home immediately. He gets worried when I stray too far away."
"Confirmed. My father also shares concerns for my whereabouts post-curfew."
Penny chuckled. "It sounds like your dad and mine share a lot in common."
"Question; why did you not identify yourself upon arrival?" R-13Y didn't let up on the investigation.
"I... I was told not to." Penny answered, looking down.
"Because of your father." R-13Y said matter-of-factly.
"NO! No, my father would never-" Penny's voice cracked, letting out a deeper octave of tone. "I... I mean..."
There was a beep in R-13Y's arm. Tapping the scroll button, an announcement had been made regarding the new models of security drones designed by the Atlas military. At one point, the article mentions the brilliant minds behind the project, Doctor Pietro Polendina and... his son, Copper Polendina. R-13Y looked to Penny.
"Ruby..." Penny had tears in her eyes. Eyes that matched the sad ones in the article's photo. "I... I'm not a real girl..." Penny's hand didn't clench.
R-13Y tapped the scroll. A message popped up. Tapping swiftly, a comment was posted to the article.
'Unsubscribing for falsely identifying the doctor's daughter as male.'
Another few taps later, the article was unsubscribed from R-13Y's scroll and the scroll was closed. Penny watched the whole thing with shock in her eyes. "Ruby..."
"I do not understand." R-13Y spoke. "I require information from a valid source. Will you help me understand, Penny?"
Penny shook, tears spilling from her eyes. She practically threw herself as R-13Ys chassis as she futilely attempted to crush her friend in a hug. Penny was so happy to have a friend like Ruby. "Yes. I would LOVE to help you, Ruby."

*Ruby and Weiss are trying on wedding dresses for a war of the roses wedding*
Ruby: That dress is cute on you.
Weiss: Well yes but is it cute enough to destroy his whole life?
Ruby: Aggressive…
Weiss: You know what I mean. He’s my man. I want to watch him cry. I want to make him think down is up and up is down.
Ruby: He’s also my man.
Weiss: You’re also mine. Not the same. *Examines herself in the mirror* I look good. But do I look good enough to make his head spin? It’s so hard because we’re already at an eight and we’re pushing for a nine.
Ruby: I don’t know…
Weiss: Too aggressive?
Ruby: No it would be too aggressive if you wanted to rip his heart out and make his eyes bleed. That would be too aggressive.
Ruby: I don’t know. Definitely go with a mermaid for your curves. You have great curves.
Weiss: Hand me another mermaid.
Ruby: *Hands her a dress off the rack*
Ruby: I like it.
Weiss: Me too. Your turn. Model for me.
