Now I'm nothing but a liar and you're thrown into the fray

I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do

I don't want you to waste your life in vain

Listening to Red Like Roses - Part II in a post-V9 haze and it hits so different now.

I'm sorry i ever doubted your Summer-is-salem's-secret-lieutenant theory i bow down to the Prophet Farron

ehehehehe summer’s part of RLR2 sure is spoken in present tense, eh?

you know what else is fun, though. “what was that? she– she lied! she left with raven, why would she…?” and “i know you’re broken down by anger and by sadness/you feel i’ve left you in a world that’s full of madness/wish i could talk to you if only for a minute/make you understand the reasons why i did it”

the thing about “why?” is there’s really only one person who can answer that question, right. and that’s summer rose. raven could tell ruby what they planned and what happened; she might even be able to explain what kicked it off, if a specific event put the wheels in motion. but she can’t tell ruby why summer thought she could end it, why she decided to try, or—assuming summer is neither dead nor enslaved—why she chose not to come back (and kept making that choice, every day, for a decade or more).

the blacksmith is probably right, in the big picture sense. summer wouldn’t have fared any better on her pedestal than ruby did on hers, and desperation to escape must have been one of the things that drove her away. but why did she leave like that? what did she think would happen? her part of RLR2 does suggest that the confidence summer expressed was genuine—she really did think she could end it. why? what convinced her?

no one knows the answer to ruby’s question except summer rose.

and summer’s part of RLR2 is soaked through with the anguish summer feels about not being able to give her that answer, even as summer doesn’t seem to regret her choices, per se. “i didn’t have a choice, i did what i had to do” and “you’re not the only one who needed me/i thought you understood” and “would i change it if i could?/it doesn’t matter now”—summer wishes she hadn’t left ruby behind, but her perspective in RLR2 seems to be quite solidly that she made the right decision.

another thing i’ve been quietly chewing on is, summer doesn’t finish reading the girl who fell through the world. she stops at what seems to be the final chapter. “and on the wind, alyx heard one more question: what are you?”

and then she closes the book. she probably intended to finish the story once she got back home (and the girls were awake), so… “this bedtime story ends with misery ever after/the pages are torn and there’s no final chapter” isn’t just a metaphor, it’s also literally about the bedtime story she left unfinished. the last chapter of ‘the girl who fell through the world’—the part of the story where alyx goes home—IS summer’s promise to come back.

the rose brooch “carries a mother’s promise.” summer left it on top of the story she hadn’t finished reading yet: an unspoken, seemingly broken promise. ruby trades the brooch away after facing her certainty that summer isn’t going to keep that promise—can’t keep that promise, because ruby believes she’s dead or worse—while lost in the middle of the story that contained the promise.

and then ruby reached the end of the tale, both in the sense that she made it to the ‘final chapter’ and returned home but also of finding one of those torn pages. and the rose brooch returned to her. in a way, it never truly left—the promise and the unanswered question it represents are a part of her.

the brooch carries summer’s promise; symbolically, just as the brooch is neither lost nor broken, neither is the promise. this is probably the strongest hint so far that summer is both 1. alive and 2. in a state to be able to keep her promise, however much longer it takes than she originally expected.

she’s coming back.

[hadesisqueer]

These few months every time I kept reading "too bad we're not getting a story resolution for RWBY because it's never coming back" I was internally like stfu. Don't lose hope, I never lost hope i was like. We're gonna see Ruby probably interrogating Raven over whatever the fuck she knows about her mom, Blake and Yang as official couple and everyone learning about it, maybe some drama as well between Yang and Raven, Weiss reuniting with her family, Jaune adapting to being with his team again after so long, Emerald being part of the good guys. And you know what lmao. We're actually getting that. Never lose hope bitch /j

[notmaplemable]

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

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

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

------

If Jaune was Yang's partner

Yang: How are you doing today, partner?

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

Yang: *Finger guns* Ehhhhhhh.

Jaune: *Finger guns back* Ehhhhhh.

------

Yang: He actually has a sense of humor.

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

------

What if Jaune was Weiss' partner

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

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

Weiss: *Death Screech*

------

Weiss: *Shivers* The horror.

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

------

What if Jaune was Blake's partner

Jaune: *Jumping around like an excited puppy*

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

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

Jaune: Oh both! Both would be super fun!

Jaune: Right Blake!? Right!?

Blake: ...Sure.

------

Blake: Less annoying than Yang at least.

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

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

Ruby: Uhhhhhhhh

------

What if Jaune was Ruby's partner

***CENSORED***

------

Ruby: Reasons.

A Schnee's Desire

Weiss: So, is alright of my team, and my friends stay here mom?

Willow: I don't mind, your father will no doubt work up a fuss, but he will not be here for the next week, so you should be just fine.

Weiss: That's amazing! I'll go tell them that they can stay.

Willow: Mind if I come with you? I want to know who is going to be staying here.

Weiss: Okay.

~~~

Weiss: Okay this is my partner, Ruby Rose.

Ruby: Hello! My name is Ruby! I'm Weiss's bestie for restie!

Weiss: Ahh?! Get off of me you dolt!

Willow: Ohh~! It's nice to see my daughter have a friend who's so close to her. Would you mind sharing a room with my daughter? There are not many spare bed rooms for all of you.

Weiss: Wait, w-w-what?!

Ruby: Whoo! Sleep over!

Weiss: Ahck?! Get off of me!

Willow: And, who are you two?

Blake: My name is, Blake Belladonna.

Yang: And, my name is Yang Xiao Long! This little gremlins older sister!

Ruby: Yang?!

Willow: And, you are a faunas? A cat faunas at that.

Blake: Is that a problem...?

Willow: Not to me, although... Jacques is allergic to cats... You being a cat faunas, would you perhaps trigger his allergies?

Blake: What, no that's...? Well... Could I...?

Yang: That's a serious question right there.

Blake: If he did have a reaction... how bad of a reaction would it be.

Willow: Not bad enough...

Blake: Dammit!

Willow: Do you two mind sharing a bed?

Yang: What?

Blake: Sharing a bed?

Willow: There are rooms, and spare beds, but not enough for each of you to have your own separate bed. I am sorry.

Yang: No, that shouldn't be a problem, right, Blake?

Blake: No, not a problem at all. Hey, Yang?

Yang: Yeah?

Blake: 'And, they were roommates.'

Ruby: 'My god they were roommates...'

Willow: What?

Weiss: Ignore them.

Willow: Very well then. And, who might you two be?

Nora: Hi! My name is, Nora! And, this is my potentiallover, Ren!

Ren: Hello, Mrs. Schnee.

Willow: Hello to you as. Do you two mind sharing a room, and a bed together?

Ren: Well, I don't...?!

Nora: IT'S FINE!

Willow: Oh?

Nora: It's totally fine if the two of use share a bed together~!

Willow: Is it..?

Ren: Uhhhh...?

Yang: Don't stop her, she needs this.

Willow: Okay...?

Willow: And, lastly we have... Oh? Hello~!

Jaune: Hello, Mrs. Schnee. My, name is, Jaune Arc.

Willow: Hello~! So, I have a bed you can use, so long as you don't mind some company~?

Jaune: Am I sharing a bed with your son?

Willow: No, no no not at all. I couldn't possibly ask my son to share his bed! But, I can assure you, the person in question wouldn't mind sharing their bed with you~!

Jaune: Oh well, if they won't mind, then neither do I!

Willow: I assure you, Jaune, I won't mind at all~! Now, why don't I show you to your room~!

Jaune: Why thank you, Mrs. Schnee!

Willow: Ara Ara, Jaune! Please, call me, Willow~!

Jaune: Okay then, Willow!

RWBYNR: ...?

Ruby: D-Did your mother just flirt with, Jaune?

Weiss: N-no she didn't....

Nora: She totally flirted with, Jaune!

Weiss: She did not!

Yang: Did you not see how she's draped all over him!

Weiss: No I didn't...!

Blake: She literally said, 'Ara Ara,' to him!

Weiss: You misheard her!

Whitely: Hello sister. I saw mother leading on of your friends to her bedroom. Why did she do that?

Weiss: W-What?

Ren: Weiss... it's time to face the truth...

Weiss: ...

Weiss: Oh gods... My mom is going to fuck, Jaune?!

Nora: It's totally the hair.

[juanarc-thethird]

Sorry but I already have plans.

Jaune: *Eating breakfast*

Suddenly Team Rwby arrives for breakfast too.

Yang: Oh but look who decided to wake up early for once.

Jaune: I would have preferred a "Good morning"

Yang: Sorry~

Ruby: Since we found you here. We were thinking of going with everyone to check out that new Ramen restaurant that opened up by the park. Do you want to go?

Jaune: Sorry but I already have plans.

Weiss: Don't tell me, a new game came out.

Jaune: *Ugh!* (Not good! If this keeps up, they will think I'm an adult who act like a man child! I must act like a proper adult here...) Well... Actually... *Gulp* I'm going on a date.

At that moment all the girls of Team Rwby went numb.

Jaune: Well... I have to go so... SeeYouLater! *Runs away*

Moments later

Jaune is walking down the road, feeling a big pressure on his shoulders.

Jaune: (They're totally following me...)

Behind hime Team Rwby is watching him closely while trying, and I mean really trying, to keep themselves hidden.

Jaune: (What should I do? At this rate they'll think I lied out of a bizarre sense of pride. They'll see me as a pathetic adult!. But I still want to buy that game... and besides, I don't even have a date.)

At that moment he bumps into someone.

Jaune: Oh, sorry... Prof Goodwitch?

Glynda: Oh Jaune, what a surprise to find you here.

Meanwhile

In the kitchen today it's Penny, Pyrrha, Bleiss and Ciel's turn to clean.

Bleiss: *Jumping over and over again* Why can't I clean Jaune's mug?!

Pyrrha: *Holding the cup as high as possible* Because you’ll end up licking it!

Bleiss: Of course not!

Ciel: Can you two stop?! The faster we finish, the more time you'll have to spend with Jaune.

Suddenly Penny starts vibrating like a cell phone.

Penny: Emergency. Jaune is not available at the moment.

Ciel: What do you mean?

Penny: According to the information gathered, Jaune is on a date.

Ciel/Bleiss/Pyrrha: DATE?!!!

Meanwhile Meanwhile

In the evil's lair (Service Closet). Cinder is on the phone while Neo and Emerald are resting.

Cinder: Are you saying someone broke the truce?!

Neo: 🤨

Emerald: What happen?

Cinder: And on top of that Jaune is on a DATE?!!

At that moment the three of them become serious and begin to prepare to fight.

Cinder: That bitch is gonna pay.

Meanwhile Meanwhile Meanwhile

In a cafeteria, Neo, Reese, May and Arslan are having coffee.

*Ring, Ring!*

Neon: Hi Bleiss, were you able to get Jaune's mug?

Bleiss: Forget the mug! Code Red! Code RED!!

Neon: What are you talking about?

Bleiss: Glynda is on a date with Jaune right now!

At that moment the atmosphere became dark and heavy. And the faces of the four girls became serious.

Neon: I see

Meanwhile Meanwhile Meanwhile Meanwhile

At the park

Coco: *Sitting on a bench* What a nice day

Velvet: *Running towards Coco* Coco! Coco! Coco!!!

Coco: Wow! Calm down, what happen?

Velvet: Something terrible just happen!

Coco: *Worry* What is it?!

Velvet: Jaune is on a date with Glynda!

Coco: *Her eyes turned dark and soulless*... Excuse me?

Back with Jaune

Glyda and Jaune are walking together to their destination.

Glynda: So you're on your way to buy a game?

Jaune: Y-Yeah. (Is she going to judge me because I play video games?)

Glynda: It's good that you have a method to de-stress after your missions.

Jaune: You don't think it's bad to play video games at my age?

Glynda: Why should I? Everyone has their own methods, for me it's knitting, believe it or not. So I don't see anything wrong with you playing video games.

Jaune: *Hugs her* Professor!!!

Glynda: *Worry* Jaune?!

In the distance you could hear the voice of a very angry girl.

Bleiss: Code Black! CODE BLACK!!!
