#because he was the most accident-prone child ever born xD

[whumpbby]

One day during a night hunt shared between Gusu and Yunmeng, Wei Wuxian observes Sect Leader Jiang fall from his sword in a dive after one of the young disciples, catch the boy, on the way down score two branches to the shoulder and stop the fall via wrapping Zidian around one of them. They land unharmed and the disciple meekly accepts the threats of leg-breaking as he's patted down by Jiang-zongzhu.

Wei Wuxian almost passed on the spot, but he's trying to act tough and unimpressed, so he's all "Heh, nice save, hehe."

And a Jiang disciple from the side goes "Oh that's nothing. Not even close to back when young master Jin was learning to fly."

Another disciple "And that's nothing compared to when he was learning to swim!"

Another "Or walk."

Another "Or the swing."

"Gods, don't even mention the fucking swing!"

And Wei Wuxian ends up surrounded by Jiang disciples who do an equivalent of pulling out their wallets to show him the photos xD

Ok, but listen.

Jiang Cheng, in nothing but his inner robes, gunning it barefoot down the walkaways of Lotus Pier, because his beloved nephew (age four) decided to escape his bed and climb into an unsecured boat that is now being pushed by wind into the lake, much to Jin Ling's wailing dismay.

JC didn't even think to use Sandu, just launched himself full-tilt from the end of the pier with sheer physical brass of knowing he can eat that twenty metres...

A few minutes later, he was rowing the boat back with one arm, the other full of a wailing nephew, adrenaline finally settling down.

So I started RWBY (thanks for that, it’s all from you), and I gotta say I love Yang. So are there any Dragon!Yang rambles you have? What about lunweiss too?

It’s been a while since I enjoyed a show like this, it’s nice

Hi!!! Welcome aboard!! And not to taint your opinions but just- idk I feel obligated to warn you that while I 100% recommend V1-V5, V6 is emotionally hard (and has plot points I am Not Happy With) and V7 is just ... a train wreck. A wonderfully animated, woefully badly written train wreck. And I’ve yet to watch v8 so I have no idea what’s going on THERE beyond Oscar being a Suffering Sunshine Boi.

But yes! Headcanons!!!! Also apologies for any spoilers I mention for the show in these? I don’t know where you are in the show and I’ve already talked a lot of spoilers I’m sure XD.

Dragon Yang:

-Yang is excited to go to Beacon actually. Nervous and dreading it, but excited. She’s learned over the two years since returning to Remnant how to manage her strength and limit her lethality, how to hide the worst of her ... odd behaviors. She wants to make new friends, and she’s hoping to see Velvet there (Yang transfers to Velvet’s combat school in this AU and makes friends with her by accident). But she’s also dreading the “living in dorms with strangers” thing.

-Then she learns Ruby is getting to join early and she oscillates between HECK YES SIBLING TEAM HERE WE COME to MY BABY SISTER IS NOT READY FOR THIS. PROTECC. Of course, she’s been training Ruby these last two years too, because she’s afraid of her own strength but she’s more afraid of Ruby being unprepared for the dangers of the world. Ruby will never be a STELLAR hand to hand but she can fight mean and run away and her parkour skills have reached ninja levels even without her Semblance.

-Now she just has to get on the same team as her sister.

-She’s honestly ... highly amused by the initiation exam? Like- yeah sure fling the DRAGON SLAYER off a CLIFF and expect her to be alarmed. Psh.

-She means to track down Ruby and is will on her way to doing so when she runs into Blake first. That’s ... a little annoying. She doesn’t even know this girl’s name (Yang never dragged Ruby off to make friends during the pre-initiation sleepover thing in this AU) but it’s not Blake’s fault so.

-Also, on the note of Blake lemme just sidetrack to point out something interesting in Yang’s mentality. She can tell the moment she smells Blake that Blake is a Faunus.

-She still doesn’t think of her as a Faunus. Because- to Yang, she genuinely doesn’t .... really understand the difference between Faunus and human? To her everyone is human, some of them just have extra bits and more useful senses. And this is a TOTALLY UNCONSCIOUS MENTALITY from back when she was living on Earthland. Because in Earthland, people can look really, really weird (especially in the magic community) and yet they are all still called “humans” and are still treated perfectly normal. Like this girl from canon Fairy Tail show-

That tail and those ears are 100% real, they move and react like actual limbs in the anime, but they weren’t always THERE. When that character was teeny, she looked like a “normal” human, but her magic is feline oriented and so over the years those traits GREW on her. And literally NO ONE BATS AN EYE IN THE SHOW. Not even the people who knew her when she was tiny non-cat human child. She’s far from the only example, but she’s the easiest to think of especially in regards to the Faunus thing.

-So yeah, Yang smells feline traits on Blake and just- doesn’t even react. Doesn’t mention it to anyone because her brain skips right over “cat ears = Faunus” in this world and goes straight to “ah yes, my new 100% nonmagical human teammates. My Sister, Ice Child, and Girl With Decent Hearing Thank Goodness”.

-So while Blake thinks she’s keeping her Faunus traits a secret from her whole team, her partner Yang is just vibing off to the side, perfectly aware that Blake has cat ears but still thinking of her and every other Faunus as regular ol’ humans.

-Yang doesn’t abandon Ruby at the entrance to Beacon either, so Weiss made a ... bad impression on Yang very quickly for yelling at Ruby’s sister for an accident. Yang shut that whole thing down pretty fast, but Ruby was still feeling humiliated and nervous and Weiss was prickly and embarrassed by Yang’s blunt opinions.

-Yeah it’s a good thing they can bond via Nevermore killing because otherwise this team would be way more dysfunctional than it is in the first few days.

-Yang has mixed opinions on Team JNPR. It is painfully clear Jaune has no idea what he’s doing, but frankly she has her hands full with her own team atm and no time to try to gently bully this boy into proper training. She makes a note to do it later. Pyrrha smells lonely and she’s a sweetheart. Nora is wayyyy to prone to getting into Yang’s (and everyone’s) personal space. Ren is nice. He has manners and he smells of tea.

-There’s a scene early on where this guy called Cardin bullies Velvet for her ears by grabbing them and pulling them and I’ve never like how none of the main characters or anyone else try to hELP.

-Ergo, when that scene happens, Yang promptly gets up, twists Cardin’s wrist so that he lets Velvet’s ear go, then picks him up by the back of his shirt and flings him right through the farthest cafeteria window she can aim at from this angle. When his team of fellow bullies take it poorly, she proceeds to throw them through other windows.

-Her only defense when taken to the Headmaster’s office to face down Glynda and a very bemused Ozpin is that 1. at least she didn’t break their jaws or bones like she did the first time she caught someone bullying Velvet, 2. Professor Goodwitch can fix the windows with telekinesis to it’s not like the school was actually damaged and 3. if the Headmaster can fling people off cliffs for initiations, she can fling people through windows for being moronic bullies that needed spanking when they were five and spoiled but never got it.

-Goodwitch is not amused. Ozpin, on the other hand, is highly amused by trying not to show it. Yang can smell it and sense it in his magic tho.

-Yang, later in the dorms, more to herself then anyone, “So Velvet was born with one more pair of ears than most humans have, that’s no reason to be a jerk. I mean come on, he was born with a dumb face but I left him alone until he made the first move.”

-Blake: *vague staticky brain noises of confusion* “She’s ... a Faunus.”

-Yang: Gesundheit.

-Yang meeting Ironwood is gonna be-

-Fun.

-Because she first meets him in v2/v3 when he shows up for the Vytal Festival and brings an army with him and it makes Yang’s instincts SCREECH. This is OZPIN’S territory and this random general man is stomping all over it, bringing his army with him like some kind of power statement and she is immediately ready to Throw Hands with this man on Ozpin’s behalf just out of PRINCIPLE. So when she goes up to visit him at one point and finds Ironwood already there, she ignores the conversation she interrupted by arriving, points at Ironwood and goes, “Is this guy bothering you, Headmaster? Should I through him out the window? Or down the elevator shaft?”

-Ironwood is stunned that a student just- SAYS THAT. Ozpin, who has already gotten to know Yang enough to know that her social default setting is “subtle as a brick that’s been dunked in gasoline and set on fire”, sighs, “I’m fine, Yang. This is General Ironwood from Atlas.”

-Yang clicks her tongue and cracks her knuckles, “I know who he is, he’s the guy who showed up and cluttered up your skies with those rattling junk heaps he calls an army. It’s why I asked if you wanted me to throw him.”

-Ironwood, truly aghast, “Excuse me?”

-(ngl I DO like Ironwood and feel like they did his character dirty in v7 and likely v8 but, especially in v2/v3 he does have a bit of a arrogance problem)

Lunweiss:

-Weiss probably confuses so many people at Beacon. She is a Schnee, so while people are expecting some measure of dignity they are also expecting snobbery or brattiness and instead she’s just- the sweetest, mildest person under her reserve?

-Jaune still has a huge crush on her, she firmly but gently informs him that she’s just not interested. When he is slow to take the hint she gets upset, but that just means she withdraws in on herself.

-Yang, activating her Big Sister instincts: Yo, Jaune. I like you, you’re a good friend. But if you don’t drop it then I’m going to drop kick you off the top of Beacon Tower.

-Jaune: o.o yes ma’am.

-Lunweiss has had ... something of a deprived childhood in both lives. I don’t mean physically, because of course as Oracle and then as Heiress she had the best clothes and finest foods, but just- in the ordinary Teenage Life Experience. Things like video games and board games, carnival food, shopping with friends- she doesn’t have any real experiences like that? So obviously, as soon as Team RWBY realizes this (aka the day they’re lounging around the dorm and Luna asks what “these” are, “these” being Yang’s and Ruby’s collection of video games), they set out to do All The Fun Things with Weiss. Even Blake gets in on it when she comes to the somewhat stunning realization that the life experience even she, the Faunus activist, took for granted, is stuff Weiss has only ever heard of distantly in books and film.

-Weiss, bemusedly attempting to play a video game while Yang and Ruby lean on either shoulder and coach her on the buttons: ...What is the purpose of this?

-Ruby: *initiates lore dump about the video game plot and characters and emotional story beats*

-Yang, yanking Ruby’s hood over her head so she sputters to a stop: To unwind and have fun with friends.

-Weiss: I thought that was what ‘sleepover night’ was for?

-Ruby: People can do more than one ‘fun’ activity, Weiss.

At one point Blake reluctantly takes Weiss book shopping because Ruby, as Team Leader, has organized an entire schedule of “who does what fun thing with Weiss” and this was hers: So this is my favorite book store, the fiction genres are that way, non-fiction is that way, and comics are over there.

Weiss: *looks incredibly, hopelessly lost* Ummmmm

Blake: ... let’s start simple. What kind of books did you read as a kid?

Weiss, a little helplessly: whatever the tutors my father hired deemed proper for my education at the time and whatever books I could sneak out of the library without being caught and told to put them back because they were either “too young” for me, “too old”, or “not proper for a young lady of my standing”. Grandfather had a lot of books that my father put in that latter category and eventually he just- locked the doors to the library entirely and bought a new copy of whatever my teachers or tutors said I needed.

Blake: *listens to this and slowly has an internal crisis that the ‘spoiled’ Schnee heiress has never been allowed to read her own choice of books aka Blake’s favorite childhood activity*

Blake, a little desperately: Are there any books you remember enjoying as a child? Even if they were assigned?

Weiss combs through her memories, decides that’s not productive, and goes all the way back to her Luna lifetime before tentatively admitting: I ... enjoyed reading mythology and other tales set in historical eras with little evidence of being actually true, but entertaining nonetheless, especially since they often had a moral component woven in.

Blake runs that through her internal Weiss Translator: Fairy tales. You like fairy tales. Okay, I can work with that.

[pika-ace]

What about a Pokemon au? Like everything's the same but everyone has little pokepals it'd be adorable

Oh honey, I KNOW it would be adorable!! You’re talking to the same person who gave the entire Hamil-cast Pokémon!! Okay, let’s start!! (I’ll just start off with one per person, but if you guys wanna add more to make a full team, go for it!)

Usnavi: Ambipom - Mostly because of breeding purposes with Glameow (see Vanessa). But I could also see it fitting because Ambipom’s would be GREAT for helping with a store, swinging around and using their two tails to grab stuff.

History - Ambipom was a gift to Usnavi from his parents, given to him as an Aipom. The two hit it off great and Aipom was a source of comfort when Usnavi’s parents passed away. While Usnavi had to run the store at a young age, Aipom made sure to remind him to relax and have fun every once in a while. Now an Ambipom, that continues to be its job, making small jobs around the store into fun for everyone. It’s greatest challenge though, is trying to impress Glameow with its tricks; it hasn’t succeeded yet, but feels it’s getting close.

Sonny: Pikachu - Not just because of my profile picture but I can just…picture it, ya know? I can just easily picture Sonny running around with a little Pikachu, both of them pulling pranks together and messing around with Usnavi.

History - Sonny met his little buddy when it was just a Pichu. He found it abandoned in an alley way in the barrio when he was around ten. So he took it home, helped Abuela nurse it back to health and they became inseparable. The two can almost always be found playing and scheming together, and Pikachu plans to be right by Sonny’s side when he invests in protest. Pikachu was a great help in defending the bodega along with Sonny. Sonny also has a Thunderstone that he got from Abuela, which he’s saving for a special day.

Vanessa: Glameow - Why? Well, not only because it is fabulous, but the thing is known for being fickle, meaning, it constantly changes how it feels about things. In other words, this thing would be just as emotionally pent up as Vanessa. (also there’s no way in HELL she’s letting it evolve; WHY DOES PURUGLY EXIST??)

History - Glameow and Vanessa’s first meeting was great, but it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Glameow was a present from Vanessa’s dad…right before he died. But when Vanessa’s mom turned to alcohol, Glameow was there to keep her company. The two are a force to be reckoned with; don’t mess with Vanessa and her glamerous but deadly cat. It may act like Ambipom is annoying, but it really finds its playful tricks and shenanigans kinda cute; not that it’d ever show it. 

Benny: Luxray - Again, mostly for breeding purposes with Nina but ALSO because thanks to the anime (specifically the Pikachu short ‘Pikachu and the Pokémon Band) I know that Luxray can do SICK beatboxing to go along perfectly with Benny’s raps!

History - Benny met his little partner in crime as a Shinx back when he was a trouble-making little kid. They ran into each other when they were both on the run from the authorities and stuck together after a couple more meetings and conjoined little crimes. It evolved into Luxio when Benny started work at the dispatch, but evolved into Luxray during the blackout, giving both Benny and Nina a literal light in the dark.

Nina: Buneary -Seems pretty fitting, and both are super adorable and you want to give them both big hugs! And considering the pressure Nina has to go through, I think she could use a fluffy cuddle bunny Pokémon.

History - Received as an egg from her parent’s Pokémon, Buneary and Nina have pretty much grown up together. Buneary serves as Nina’s comforter, getting her through her tough years at Stanford, by providing hugs and plenty of moral support. It still continues that to this day. It’s a bit shy around Benny’s Luxray, but they are good friends.

Daniela: Chatot - What other Pokémon would be perfect for the Queen of Gossip? The only one who can talk of course! …That’s pretty much it. Plus, imagine that thing using Hyper Voice to get everyone’s attention in ‘Carnaval del Barrio’ XD

History - It was pure coincidence how these two met. Daniela was gossiping with her high school friends, when another voice joined the conversation. After seeking out the voice, Daniela saw a little Chatot sitting on the phone wires. They held a conversation for a good while, and at the end of the day, Daniela held out her arm, the Chatot perched, and the rest is history.

Carla: Delcatty -I originally thought Delcatty would be good for Vanessa with the cute charm thing, but its most prominent quality is its soft fur, and I think Carla would be ALL OVER a cute thing like that. Delcatty IS popular among females, after all. Also, Delcatty is a TM BEAST. It looks cute, but it’s DEADLY. Imagine Carla doing battle with that thing! AWESOME!

History - Carla found Delcatty as a Skitty, and purely by accident. She was walking as a child, saw a cute pink kitty wandering around and instantly decided to take it home with her. Luckily, this Skitty was totally fine coming with her, with all the affection Carla showers it with. When she met Daniela, the older woman gave her a Moon Stone, allowing Skitty to evolve. Most of their time spent together, is doing each other’s hair.

Claudia: Swanna -Mostly reminiscent of the birds that Abuela loves to feed. I wanted to give her a bird Pokémon and this was the best IMO. According to Pokédex entries, Swanna can fly for miles and miles which fits 'Paciencia y Fe’

History - Swanna was Claudia’s first friend when she came to America. She was feeding birds when she came across a weak Ducklett. It had lost its family, and was weak from hunger, so Abuela gave it all the bread she had, and the little guy just…stuck around after that. They both grew up, aged, and endured the hardships of time together, and formed the strongest bond imaginable until Claudia died, and Swanna, in its old age, flew off and disappeared, never to be seen again.

Pete: Smeargle - I mean, duh. There’s no other painting Pokémon around. And in the manga there’s a Smeargle who’s pretty notorious for painting graffiti…on other people, so I think these two would get along great.

History - These two have been together for as long as Pete can remember. Just wandering around the barrio and painting together. But what Pete loves about his furry buddy, is that while they may be good at tagging walls, Smeargle is a PRO at tagging people. Just a quick swish, and you have glasses and a mustache painted on your face. They were Usnavi’s worst nightmare as kids, and they’re still a great source of entertainment for the rest of the barrio. 

Kevin: Stoutland - Stoutland just looks like the kind of father that Kevin reminds me of. Plus, it’s a giant guard dog; that’s LITERALLY Kevin when Benny’s around Nina.

History - Stoutland has been with Kevin since he was born, running around the farm with his young owner as a Lillipup. It was the only one who supported Kevin in his want to go farther and try to change the world. While Stoutland is a but more prone to thinking how their actions will effect others, he and Kevin want the same thing: for their family to do well.

Camila: Lopunny - Again, breeding with Stoutland, and also, I could see Lopunny being a good mother Pokémon that can be caring and kick ass. That thing can learn Hi Jump Kick; don’t mess with it, just like Camila.

History - Camila met her Lopunny as a Buneary, hungry and alone as a teenager. She gave it food and took it in as her own, finally giving her a companion after being alone herself. Both of them cherish family above everything and aren't afraid to rip into anything or anyone that threatens it. 

Piraguero: Vanillite - If you can’t lure kids in, have a cute Pokémon do it with the promise of a cold treat…that sounded A LOT less creepy in my head. Anyway, yeah, we have an ice cream Pokémon, may as well use it, so why not here? X3

History - Not much is known about their history together, but some say that Vanillite met our Piraguero in the islands, and saved it from getting overheated by giving it a home in his piragua cart.

Again, these are just ONE Pokemon, feel free to add to their respective teams if you wish!! (Oh, and Lincoln would have a Krickitune which he met when he ran away to New York, because it liked his music, keeping him company as he traveled alone.)
