#blake: i don't have a sister so i guess i can't--

[ficretus]

Blake ships problematic things

*teams RWBY and JNRO in Vacuo cafeteria*

Jaune: So what are you up to these days?

*scroll rings*

Weiss: I have to excuse myself, SDC related business. *walks away from table*

Yang: Well I am mostly killing Grimm VB. Although I did pick up some sweet lasso skills.

Ren: That's bit odd.

Yang: I got inspired by that girl from that crossover I'm not allowed to talk about anymore due to copyright reasons. I asked Ilia for a help since she is a whip user. I guess you can say she... showed me the ropes.

*audible groaning*

Yang: As for the others. Weiss is trying to keep the company afloat, Roobs is probably doing weapon maintenance.

Ruby: My baby is not gonna clean itself.

Yang: Nora and Ren are helping refugees settle.

Nora: I also picked up an electric guitar... not as exciting as I thought.

Yang: Oscar is trying to stay alive and Blakey is back to writing.

Ren: Blake is a writer?

Blake: Not professional one, I mostly write fanfics.

Ren: What kind of fanfics do you write?

Blake: Mostly romantic ones. I usually delve in more sensual aspects of love.

Ruby: She is writing filth.

Yang: Don't be like that, lot of them are sweet. I almost cried when I read her fanfic about us.

Ren: You write fanfics about people around you?

Blake: Yeah, I wrote at least dozen fics about all of you.

Nora: *stands up* Who do you ship me with?

Ren: Nora, you can't just jump Blake like that...

Blake: Ren.

Nora: *giggles*

Ren: *groans*

Ruby: Blake, I hope you are not making me cheat on my beloved Crescent Rose.

Blake: I ship you with Oscar.

Ruby: That's... acceptable.

Oscar: YES! I mean... very interesting.

Yang: Let me guess, Weiss Cream with Vomit Boy.

Blake: No, that one makes no sense.

Jaune: Fair enough, I was obnoxious to Weiss back in Beacon.

Blake: Oh, that's not an issue. I usually ship things like that, but both of you have better partners.

Jaune: Wait, then who do you ship me with? Emerald? That girl from crossover we are legally not allowed to talk about? Cinder?!

Blake: Oh, that last one might work. Need to write few fics about it.

Yang: No offense VB, but I personally don't care who you are shipped with. But what about Weiss?

Blake: Weiss with Whitley.

Everyone: Wait, what?

Blake: There is nothing more beautiful than relationship between siblings. It's both pure and dirty at the same time.

Ruby: I might puke.

Jaune: Wait, you ship me with Saphron?!

Blake: I ship you with all of your sisters.

Jaune: What the hell Blake?! Is that why you kept asking me details about my sisters?! So you can turn it into smut fic?!

Blake: Ugh, it's not a smut fic, it's a beautiful story about people growing closer before crossing the taboo line.

Jaune: *looks at his scroll* Latest story is titled "7 inches, 7 sisters," how the hell is this respectable?!

Blake: It was a conservative estimate.

Yang: VB don't make this about accuracy of your dick size, there are more pressing matters. Do you ship me with Ruby?!

Nora: Wait, is that why you ship me with Ren? You said we were like siblings back in Beacon.

Blake: I don't ship you with Ruby anymore, I wouldn't want you to cheat on me.

Yang: Anymore?!

Ruby: Yup, here it comes. *pukes*

Ren: Look Blake, you can't ship people with their siblings, it's wrong on so many levels.

Oscar: Oz says it was normal back in the day.

Jaune: Not now Oz.

Ren: Imagine if someone wrote about you having an explicit relationship with your parents. How would you feel?

Blake: Ew, that would just be weird. Those two things are not comparable. Sexual relationship between parent and child would be gross violation of trust. Relationship between siblings is pure.

Yang: IT'S THE SAME! But because you are the single child you don't see anything wrong with it.

Weiss: *walks towards the table* What did I miss?

*five traumatic minutes later*

Ruby: *puking*

Weiss: *crying*

Ren: So Blake, what did we learn today?

Blake: Titling the story "Little brother, big problem" is highly offensive?

Ren: Go on.

Blake: Brothers don't jump their sisters whenever they have their back turned to them?

Jaune: Or in any other circumstance.

Blake: Inbreeding is not funny and "we must ensure our babies have Schnee Semblance and blue eyes" is not good reason to do it?

Yang: Or any reason for that matter.

Blake: You are right, this whole... bro x sis thing was mistake on my part. I'll no longer write stories like that. Sorry Weiss, sorry Jaune.

Ren: See, there is nothing constructive conversation can't fix.

Blake: From now on, I am shipping Jaune with Cinder...

Jaune: Sigh, tiny step forward...

Blake: And Weiss with Winter! I can already imagine it, forbidden love and neither can let it go.

Yang: AW COME ON!

Ren: This might take a while...

[howlingday]

Ruby: Hey, Blake! Are you busy?

Blake: What is it, Ruby?

Ruby: I'm taking new medicine today, so can you remind me to take it every day before and after every meal? I need to take it before I go to sleep and when I wake up, too.

Yang: WHAT?!

Yang: (Grabs Ruby) MEDICINE?! WHAT FOR?! ARE YOU OKAY?! HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW?!

Ruby: ...

Yang: Ruby?

Ruby: Yang... I'm sorry, but...

Yang: What?

Ruby: I-I'm fine! I was joking! I was going to say that the medicine was a kiss from Blake, but now I just feel bad...

Yang: (Sighs) Don't scare me like that, Rubes... Well, uh, I guess I'll leave ya to your prescription. (Leaves)

Blake: You really made your sister worried.

Ruby: Yeah... Were you scared, too?

Blake: No, but I would have asked something similar. Saying something like that is alarming.

Ruby: Aw... I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?

Blake: Of course. You're the one person I can't stay mad at. And you don't have to worry about your prescription.

Ruby: Aw~! OW! H-Hey! That wasn't a kiss! It was a bite!

Blake: That's for making me worry.

[howi99]

???: You must unite humanity, these relics will be of help.

????: But why me!? Why not anyone else!

???: Your wife was the cause of this suffering and you were the catalyst. By saving her you doomed humanity.

????: But Gods! Please! Have mercy on me! And if not me please make her mortal again!

???: it is her punishment. And you were chosen to bear her pain. Now go, and when the time comes, you know what you'll have to do.

Jaune: *shaking his head*

Ruby: Jaune? Are you sure you are ok?

Jaune: Yeah, just had a weird dream. So yeah, you said your uncle wanted to see me?

Ruby: *uncertain* Y-yeah... Though he isn't... In the best condition to see you right now.

Jaune: *eyes flashing for just a moment, fast enough for ruby to miss it* Let me guess, he got himself drunk and couldn't come?

Ruby: *surprised* H-how did you know? You only saw him once!

Jaune:... Uh... I'll be honest Ruby, i have no idea how. I just had a feeling, you know? I guess he has the vibe of a drunkard?

Ruby: ... I adore him, but fair.

Jaune: I heard about Yang, is she...

Ruby: She woke up not long before you did. She... Isn't taking it well.

Jaune: And what about Blake?

Ruby: ...

Jaune: Ruby?

Ruby: She left... Not even saying goodbye.

Jaune: oh...

Ruby: ... Jaune? Am i... A bad leader?

Jaune: ... No. I don't think you are a bad leader.

Ruby: *water building up in her eyes* But... I screwed up. I couldn't protect anyone!

Jaune: *snapping his fingers to get her attention* Hey, hey! You saved civilians! You stopped the sabotage! Hell, you might have saved more people than anyone else!

Ruby: But i couldn't help my sister! I let Blake run away! Weiss got taken away by her father and... Penny is... *Crying* i couldn't save any of my friends!

Jaune: *sigh* I... Can't even begin to understand your pain Ruby. I was lucky. Had Pyrrha managed to push me in the locker she would have died. If i didn't collapse both of you might have tried fighting Cinder and... God i don't want to think about that. *Eye flashing* It would have been Summer all over again...

Ruby: *still crying* What... Am i supposed to do?I want an answer but i don't know where to search them...

???: *whisper in Jaune's head* Mistral... Lionheart...

Jaune: ? ... Wait, weren't they from Mistral?

Ruby: *crying less* Y-yeah... Wait, you think...

Jaune: Maybe. Though i refuse to let you go there alone... I will ask my team if they would like to follow us.

Ruby: *wipe away her tears* You... You'd help me?

Jaune: *smiling at her while patting her head* Hey, we are friends, right?

Ruby: *hugs* Thanks... Really, you are the best friend i could ever ask for...

[powertaco]

What are your thoughts on WR development overall and your thoughts on WR being developed/made canon in V10?

Ugh I am going to ramble about everything here I can feel it...well you asked for it. I apologize for none of it, and if you all hate me at the end well I don't mind.

Volume 6 and before are pretty much great. They go from kinda at odds to tentative friends, learning to trust, and rely on each other, best friends, pining over one and other and V6 was a loooot of WR for us to feast on.

Afterward I felt like it got sidetracked. There could be various reasons for this (in hindsight I feel like Penny being given a way bigger role so her death could hit harder is to blame for part of this because realistically how long has Ruby known Penny? A month?)

Even if you don't like the ship they're supposed to be canon best friends so I take personal issue with almost all of volume 9.

I think it was sloppy writing that didn't move the story forward, and even though I don't care about Bees I feel like they still got shafted since they basically were forced to confess to move things along, and them doing so made them miss out on the sister/supposed friend and her problems, and only showcased the worst sides of the relationship.

For example Yang let's Ruby scream at Weiss but only moves to do something when Blake gets yelled at. Blake and Ruby still have...less dialogue than Ruby does with Ren I think etc.

Jaune was too present merely because his entire deal took away from Ruby's imo.

I've said it before but frankly Nora falling and learning who she is away from Ren so when she sees him in V10 she's ready for the relationship is far more satisfying to me narratively.

Leave Jaune above ground so he has to deal with the fact that he thinks he failed his friends and they all died and let him learn from that experience instead.

This also doesn't take into account that Jaune's one interesting change in 9 (being old) is taken away via random deaging (although I guess this makes deaging canon and hey young maria this is how dwr can still win! more at 11!)

Generally when characters go through a volume you want some sort of arc for them to go and change through. Weiss gets none of that. Out of all the characters nothing really happens to her, and she doesn't change at all. She's just sad about Atlas. Neat.

There's no time for it just like there's no real time for Ruby.

In Ruby's own words 'gotta help Jaune right?' and they do. Ruby removes herself from the census, which is how its framed, and they stop to...help Jaune.

There are a few moments that are WR'ish in 9. The Nevermore summon, Weiss believing in Ruby, and calling her name first etc, but overall Weiss's main job is to backslide.

I said it before but in the market Neo, the perfect assassin is after Ruby, and they split up. Weiss goes 'gross nosehairs', and ditches her best friend who she already knows by that point is NOT doing well.

This is not Volume 1. This Weiss is not that petty, and she's literally had to manhandle corpses. The fact that she wouldn't stay near her canonical best friend, and leader is asinine, and only happens so she can be alone to meet the smith.

Even if Weiss can't help Ruby fight Neo she's an extra pair of eyes (and Neo doesn't care how crowded it is in the market), and just being there for Ruby can help.

With all that said RWBY is big into symbolism. When WR are together in almost all the side spin off material it means something. Manga Anthologies has them making heart eyes and flirting like every other page. Ice Queendom was a love letter to WhiteRose (precious?). The movies, etc.

When their weapons rest next to each other on screen like the Bees do? It means something. When their flowers break ranks to be near each other (and Weiss's flower is the lily please note)? This means something.

Ruby can stand and jump from missile to missile but has to wrap her arms around Weiss to stay seated?

If Chibi continues it's pattern of predicting things in the main plot then the fact that Weiss is the woodsman in the fairy tale means a loooot as in several versions of that fairy tale the woodsman marries little red after helping her deal with the wolf problem (which varies by the story).

They're the knight and princess for each other. Ruby comes into Weiss's live turns it upside down, and helps her change. Likes her for her genuinely and wants to be her friend at the start. Through this she changes the world for Weiss, and helps her grow, and Weiss in turn helps Ruby be the leader she can be.

But yeah I guess that's just friends things and they should date some guys they've had like a half a dozen lines with instead? I don't get it really.

She and Oscar punch each other in the face, and they talk about strategy. Oscar has a younger kid crush on her, and Ruby is awkward because that's her headmaster in this kids head. Oh right he went in for a hug she ignored. Peak romance.

Jaune and Weiss have almost no interactions, and when he saves her at Haven her response isn't to be like 'omg i love you' it's 'keep doing it i have work to do'. Are they friends now? Sure, but that's about as far as it goes.

It remains that outside of group hugs the only person that's allowed to initiate contact with Weiss almost all the time outside of battle is Ruby.

Ruby knows when she needs help and will guide her away when she needs it, but other people don't' touch Weiss unless she does it first because they know she doesn't like it...except Ruby.

I have tried to look at other relationships for them, and I honestly don't see them as realistic.

Even Penny would need a lot more development to make it work. I get that it's cute and wholesome but they've known each other for again a month, and Penny just defers to Ruby.

Ruby needs a partner and equal not a submissive enabler. That's a relationship you have with a pet, and not a person.

Now if Maria were young and hot that'd be different...

Anyway...

Ruby and Weiss are partners. If they're allowed to have the much needed conversations they never seem to get, ie haven, ever after, Ruby's mom, everything, etc.

Then is it possible? Maybe. If they do go WR I suspect it'll be more hints, and slow ramp up until the final season.

I would expect it either on the eve of the final battle, or literally during it maybe as in Weiss gets feds up with waiting, and decides to do something about it.

More likely at this point is they'll both just end up single with maybe faint hints so fans can imagine what they want for it.

Would I prefer it if it was WR so the team can truly be family? Yes, but I don't even know if we're getting a volume 10 at all to be honest. The fact that it wasn't announced at the last festival, and we get an extended eppy, and then nothing after the last movie?

Not making me feel super confident. I could be wrong though. On many things. Except Young Maria.

[reashot]

Surprise! It's all just a dream.

This is sequel to you know what...

Jaune: No Ruby... *mumbling in his sleep* No Ruby, don't marry him. I know Oscar is a great guy and all, but please don't go through with it.

Ruby: Oh did you have a bad dream. *playfully ruffle Jaune's hair* There, there.

Jaune then snatches Ruby's hand while he still in his sleep.

Ruby: Jaune?!

Jaune: No! Please don't go. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for never noticing your feeling. I'm sorry for being such a dumb dense doo doo head for all those years.

Ruby: Well, at least you finally realized it. I can't believe it took you this long.

Jaune: No please, Ruby please no....

Ruby: Oh Jaune. Here let me help you. *grabs blanket*

Jaune: *mumble* Ruby please don't leave me...

Ruby: Oh Jaune... I promise I will never leave you.

Jaune: *wakes up* Huh. Ruby did I say something in my sleep?

Ruby: No you slept like a log.

Jaune: Oh, okay then. I could have sworn that I just confessed to you.

Ruby: W-what makes you think that?

Jaune: I guess it's just a dream... But anyway. Ruby do you want to go out with me?

Ruby: *gasp* Really!? *cough* I mean, if I may ask. What brought this on?

Jaune: I guess... I just don't want to wait around anymore. And Ruby I love you...

Ruby: (Screaming internally) Yes Jaune! Yes.... Wait, wait, wait. When you said you love me do you love me as a friend or do you love me, love me?

Jaune: I guess it's my fault for being so indecisive for so long. Ruby, I want to apologize first before hand for what i'm about to do.

Ruby: Apologize for what?

She is then surprised by what happened. Jaune quickly grabs both of her wrist and push her down so he is now on top of her.

Jaune: Does this answer your questions?

Ruby: Jaune what's gotten into you?!

Jaune: I had a dream. Where I saw you in the arm of another man. I said to myself that as long as you're happy, I can be happy with it too. But it's a lie. When I see you smiling happily with someone other than me. I felt something died inside of me. Ruby. I don't like it... I don't like it when I see you with being in love with someone else. And I don't like it that deep down I have this feeling. If you aren't all mine, I can't stand it.

Ruby can't believe what she's hearing. Jaune finally letting out what's bottling inside of him. Looking up she can see him trembling and while it faint she can sees him starts crying on top of her.

Ruby: Jaune. It's okay. What you're feeling is normal. It just means you Love me so much that you want me to only be with you.

Jaune: But it's wrong thing to do, it's selfish and kinda sexist to say that I want you for myself... Anyway, I shouldn't have said that.

Ruby: Oh Jaune. I wish you stop with that misguided moral of yours. What if tell you that I like it when you think of me like that?

Jaune: Ruby are you sure?

Ruby: Yes Jaune. Contrary to what you might think there are woman that like being wanted like that. It made us felt cherished and valued. So don't fret with what society might think and just follow your heart... And I should do too. Jaune I love you too.

Jaune: Ruby I...

Ruby: Now kiss me lover boy.

The two finally kisses each other for the first time. Their lips stuck to each others that it felt like an eternity. At last the two finally joined to one another.

Ruby's Version:

Ruby: No Jaune, no don't...

Jaune: Aww... Ruby is having a nightmare. Here let me rub your head. I hope it help you out a bit.

Ruby: Jaune how could you... With my own sister.

Jaune: Oh Yang seems to be there with me as well. I wonder what we're doing that caused Ruby to react like this?

Ruby: And my own mother too... Am I not enough for you?

Jaune: With Summer too. And what do you mean by enough, Ruby?

Ruby: No. How could you say such a thing to me Jaune... How could you hurt me like this...

Jaune: Wait-what did I say to Ruby in her dream?

Ruby: Blake, Weiss. What are you doing here?.. Why are you joining my sis and my mom in his bed?

Jaune: They're doing what in my bed???

Ruby: J-Jessica what are you doing here? You're not even part of our franchise... You're just a one-off crossover character. Go back to DC.

Jaune: Who's Jessica?

Ruby: No... H-how could you do all of them in front of me... Stop making that face mom... Yang get off from on top of him... Weiss don't put Jaune's thing in your mouth... Blake stop purring when he is doing you... And Jaune please don't say you think Jessica is better than me...

Jaune: What on Remnant is going on inside Ruby's dream. What am I doing with all of them in my bed?

Ruby: Okay that's it. I'm joining in I don't care about what will happens any more... He, he, he Jaune it's finally my turn....

Jaune: I-I think I better leave you alone in your sleep... Sweet dream Ruby.

ok so oops this wasn’t supposed to take this long

part 11!

*two days have passed*

Paige's pov:

My hand has been holding Evelyn's hand for two days straight. She's been awake and getting better, but I'm too scared to let go. I mean, what if she isn't there when I try to hold on again?

Aurora, Azzi, and I tried to convince Evelyn to make a police report, but when we brought it up she just shut down. I guess that will be a conversation for when she's out of the hospital.

Her sister was the first member of her family I met. She came running into Evelyn's room, her worried expression plastered on her face, and when she saw Evelyn the first question she had was, what happened. During the phone call to her parents, we only explained Evelyn was in the hospital, not the reason she was there.

Evelyn didn't want to answer, and it was clear on her face, but her brother came barreling into the room bearing the same question. I made eye contact with Azzi, a hopeful glint in my eyes, hoping she would tell the truth, and her family would convince her to go to the police.

After her parents got there, she took a deep breath and began telling the story. I ran my thumb over her hand, trying to comfort her and make it easier for her to articulate the situation.

To Azzi, Aurora, and I's dismay, the story she was telling was fabricated. According to Evelyn, she fell down the stairs of her apartment complex. If that was really what happened, why did we find her on the floor of her apartment?

It doesn't matter for now, we'll deal with that later I guess. Aurora and Azzi decided to leave for an hour or two to let Evelyn have some time with her family, and to clean Evelyns living room floor. I still can't manage to leave her, I don't know why either. It's not like we're dating, I mean we're barely friends.

As Evelyn's parents start to converse amongst themselves, I delve into a conversation with Evelyns older brother, Duke.

"So, how's basketball going?" He questions, seeming to be asking genuinely.

"We're doing pretty well this season, so pretty well!" I reply, trying to muster some enthusiasm in my voice.

Eventually the conversation leads to what he does for work, and where he went to college. He was interesting enough to hold my attention, at least until Azzi and Aurora got back saying we could go back now. Evelyn finally got discharged from the hospital and we headed back to her apartment.

It had gotten late, her family was tired from their flight, and Evelyn was tired from the hospital, so we all decided to head to bed. Evelyn's parents took the guest bedroom and her siblings took the couches, Aurora and Azzi went back to their dorms, and I followed Evelyn to her room to help her get in bed.

I help her change into her pajamas, lay her in her bed and pull the blankets over her, and just as I was sure she was asleep, I whispered a quiet goodnight and started to creep out of her bedroom.

Just before I was about to slip out of the door, I heard a whisper come from Evelyn, "Stay."

I stop. Did she just ask me to stay?

"Please," she whispers out again, so I turn around and head back towards the bed. I slip out of my sweatshirt, and lift the corner of the blanket just enough for me to get under.

As soon as I'm under the blanket, Evelyn slides over to me to cuddle up against my chest and falls right back to sleep. I wrap my arms around her and begin to go to sleep.

Evelyn's pov:

I try to stretch out when I wake up, but I can't? I slowly open my eyes and look around, trying to figure out why I can't move. Then I see it, two arms wrapped around my waist.

I begin to panic, thinking Blake is back, until I notice the long blonde hair that is also beside me. Paige? Why is she here? I try to remember last night, she helped me get in bed, then she stayed while I fell asleep, and then, oh wait. I wasn't asleep, it's always been hard for me to sleep alone, so I asked her to stay.

"Hey," I hear Paige's groggy voice say from beside me.

"Good morning," I say back, realizing how comfy she is. I start to snuggle back into her because she's warm, like why would I want to be cold?

I hear her start laughing before she says "Even though this is really comfy, I think we should go grab some of the breakfast  your mom made before it's cold." Even though I agree, I groan and try to sink further into her. How can I resist, I mean, she's literally the comfiest person to ever exist.

Eventually she convinces me to get up and she helps me to the table. We make light conversation with my family and decide to go out for the day. Apparently we're going to the beach, but I don't know I wasn't really paying attention to the conversation.

After breakfast, I get up and try to help my mom with the dishes, but she insists I should sit down and get ready for the beach because I'm still injured.

I head back to my bedroom to change into my swim suit. I only have one bikini from when i was younger because Blake didn't let me wear bikinis. Also one pieces were more practical because they cover my stomach.

Sighing, I grab a one piece and change into it, throwing a t-shirt and a pair a shorts on to go over.

Paige had to go back to her dorm to change into her bathing suit, and to pick up Azzi. Aurora hates going to the beach so it's just us and my family for today.

Speaking about tension and conflict to build romance:

Bumbleby's conflict was Adam stalking Blake,and Yang upset by her leaving because Blake was scared,but gradually more relieved as she proved that she would always stayed by her side and fight together

Renora's conflict was Ren being stubborn and almost risking his life to a grimm that killed both his parents and Nora stopping him,leading them to a better strategy attack

~

We already saw Oscar suggesting Ruby to tell Ironwood the truth,maybe Oscar will struggle to 'share her burden' because she's like her sister and doesn't like being vulnerable? Or maybe it will be about the merge and we'll have a parallel to Blake in V1 talking about "the man with two souls fighting for control" ?

Of the main three ships, they all had a big tension and conflict leading up to V8, and then had a secondary one just by virtue of the separation in Atlas.

Yes BB's conflict was Adam plus Blake running away while Renora's was Ren's tunnel vision in v4... but then in V8 Yang is worried that Blake thinks less of her for prioritizing Mantle over Amity. And Ren and Nora are having a conflict of ideals AND miscommunication.

For Rosegarden, their conflict started with not agreeing on how to handle Ironwood and then became stretched out by ending up on opposite teams while Atlas was falling. The difference between RG and the other ships is that eVERYONE ELSE GOT TO STAY REUNITED AT THE END OF V8, BUT RG DIDN'T. 😭😭😭

I have a feeling the rest of their conflict in the Vacuo arc is going to have multiple layers and be very personal to their individual characters. For starters, there's a matter of how to sort out leadership. Ruby used to be head of the team and became the symbol of hope for All of Remnant after her broadcast... but in her absence, Oscar will have stepped up to the plate in her place. There's going to be some fumbling to get them back on the same page again to a point where they are properly sharing the weight of their burdens together.

Then we know that Oscar probably thinks she died! :'D Which, in tandem with his attachment, admiration, and protectiveness of her in the past, sets him up perfectly to not want to lose her again. Be that struggling with sticking too close, keeping his distance from not wanting to get too attached again (too bad boy, you can't run from this), or a mix of both... it's anyone's guess how he'll handle it.

We also know, thanks to Neo, just how important Oscar is to Ruby and that the thought of losing him is something she literally could not handle. So there is almost certainly going to be a mutual protectiveness going on there. they can have a LITTLE codependency, as a treat. /lh

We also have VERY SOLID SETUPS for their individual character arcs mirroring each other so strongly. And it's impossible for those themes to not be explored at this point.

From their very introductions, they both address each other's core conflicts with their first words to each other.

Oscar: Woah, you... have silver eyes.

Silver eyes being symbolic of her burden as Salem's adversary and the mirror that reflects humanity's hope back onto darkness.

Ruby: Who... are you?

Oscar being the next (and likely final) Ozcarnation who's entire character arc is a struggle of identity.

Oscar's "I always knew I wanted to be more than a farmhand... but this? Who would ask for this?" to Ruby's "I wanted to be the hero, like the stories that my mom read to me."

Oscar's "I thought the idea of falling through Remnant into a new world was... exciting. I never understood why she was so sad when she finally made it back home." to Ruby's "I don't want to be me anymore."

Ruby's "What if you could be anyone?" to Oscar's "I'm just going to be another one of his lives, aren't I?"

god the way they've written this story... i sincerely don't understand how people can watch ALL of this, all the moments i didn't mention cause i'm too lazy to turn this thread into another essay, and still say they don't see it. 😭

however their conflict is handled, i know i'm going to be very not normal about it every step of the way and i'm so freaking excited

[kitkatopinions]

Honestly, I feel like people who say Yang can’t notice Ruby’s behavior are also ignoring she’s literally meant to be protective/overprotective. As somebody who has felt responsibility for a family member growing up:

You’re attuned to the little things. You watch for them. I can list specific examples.

When upset, their texting style changes and uses briefer responses. They’re curt. They try to isolate themself when normally they want to talk about issues. They slip into being passive aggressive at times. They don’t try to seek me out for conversations as often.

I could accept Yang not noticing if she hasn’t been billed as a protective/overprotective sister and if Ruby wasn’t visibly behaving differently. I listed SUBTLE changes I’ve caught onto. So it baffles me people say Ruby was hiding it because she wasn’t. And even if she was, being written as overprotective or protective, YANG WOULD HAVE CAUGHT ON SINCE SHED VIEW RUBY AS A RESPONSIBILITY IM SURE.

Even then it’s insane to act like a family member who has no history of violence will turn violent when expressing angry emotions. Then again, based on what they did to Qrow, I guess that is consistent writing.

I've seen people claim that anyone who has a problem with how Yang was written in V9 is "infantilizing" Ruby.

I don't know how to explain to people that saying "a suicidal seventeen year old in wartime who just lost a friend deserves a little more care than the occasional half-hearted 'are you okay,'" isn't actually infantilizing. It's also a wonder, because if I recall, rwde posters got told that expecting a seventeen year old girl to make the choice to help either the people of Mantle or the soldiers fighting Salem was cruel and horrible and we were all being far too hard on Ruby and nobody should expect Ruby to be able to hold it together under those conditions, but the second we say "Ruby needs a stronger support system from her friends and family" suddenly it's infantilizing, and how dare we suggest that Ruby not be able to get one hundred percent better all by herself, and how dare we suggest that maybe a seventeen year old might need to be taken care of a little bit here and there, and how dare we put all that on poor Yang who has her own life and can't spend all her screentime attached to Ruby.

For the record, I don't think that Yang needs to spend all her screentime attached to Ruby and I don't think that she can't have her own life. I don't even think 'she and Blake should have waited to get together' because like, they were basically forced into it by the world around them (which is a fact that this show absolutely won't take seriously or be interested in examining.) I do think that this "Blake and Yang got together while they were all stuck in chaos-central and Ruby had a breakdown after all the heavy stuff from V8 happened including the death of Penny and it feels like a bad time" thing was a bad writing choice, but that's the writers fault and it could've been avoided if Blake and Yang had been dating in volume 7 instead of them putting it off unnecessarily and/or choosing to make it happen mid-Ruby-breakdown (they could've had Blake and Yang kiss during their reunion instead of just hugging.) But that's besides the point, because the point is, I don't blame Yang the character for getting together with Blake. What I do dislike though is the way that the writers wrote Yang to act towards Ruby. Every moment that she has with Blake can stay the same! The almost hand-hold and making jokes? Although I think the jokes are in poor taste, having them flirt is fine. But then when Ruby and Weiss stop walking, Blake and Yang could notice and stop walking, and turn to try to join the conversation. Blake can still throw herself into Yang's arms when she sees her alive! But then when Ruby comes to after literally fainting from how bad her stress and trauma is, Yang can be super worried and be really hesitant to start moving on. Blake and Yang can still cheer each other on in the chess game! Only instead of Yang just accepting clear deflection and seeming to forget about Ruby's problems the second something somewhat distracting happens, we could've had Yang trying harder to get through to Ruby and pushing her to open up, only stopping when Ruby actually shuts her down and tells her she doesn't need it or want it right now. Blake and Yang can still have their moment on the bridge! Only it can also include them starting that scene with Yang taking a moment to call for Ruby and Blake helping to calm her down and get her to focus on the problem at hand (maybe with a cute "we can find her, but first we have to take it one step at a time, so just focus on me for a moment, yeah?" And Yang taking a deep breath and looking at Blake and being like "Yeah," more calm now and with her voice warm because seeing and hearing Blake is grounding to her.) They can still be caught up in their kiss so much that they didn't even notice the change of environment! Only then after Ruby runs off, Yang can be running after her but unable to keep up, with Blake and Weiss right behind her because they care about Ruby just as much, and they can lose track of her trail of petals and Yang can be like "Dammit!" And Blake can be like "I don't like this, Neo is out there," and Yang could be like "You saw her just now, she - she can't fight like this, she can't go wandering off alone!" We can still have Blake holding Yang while Ruby tries to commit suicide! But then we could also have Yang asking frantic questions about "where has Ruby gone? What happens to humans who ascend? She's not dead, is she?! Oh my God, what if she's dead?!" And we could have Yang have a bigger reaction to finding Ruby in the tree, and we could have given Yang focus when she sees the twisted zombie-like Ruby clones that the Cat conjured up instead of having Jaune's trauma so focused on, and we could've had Yang actually worry about Ruby and not just put her right back in the place of "perfect leader" when Ruby just said she didn't want that.

The problem is that the writers aren't writing Yang to act like a caring older sister because they are bad at emotional depth and they're bad at sensitivity, and they really seem to struggle with letting characters feel without taking them away from plot to do so. I'm not asking for Blake to be removed from Yang's story or to get less focus, I'm just asking for the writers to learn how human siblings usually react when their loved ones are having breakdowns, and improve on how they write characters to express emotions.

It's ridiculously over sensitive that fans can't stand to see any criticism of Yang at all without trying to come up with every excuse imaginable, or deflect like "Ruby can take care of herself!" Ruby is seventeen. I'm in my mid-twenties and two years ago I got roaring sick, and my older sister was concerned and helpful and kind and there for me, and I was like "gee isn't it great to have a sister who is here for me and helps me when I need it," and surprise surprise I was never like "She's infantilizing me!" Ruby the seventeen year old with clear PTSD having a breakdown to the point of fainting who was crying while an adult man screamed in her face and then ran away to sob on her own while an evil murderer was out to murder her... Actually did need support! And care! And attention! Honestly, the way that some people in the fndm have been acting towards Ruby ever since they decided she was a threat to their enjoyment of Yang and their ship is really weird.

Red Ruin - INTERVAL 02: FIRST ENCOUNTER (Part IV)

The girls didn't immediately spring into action; Blake and Weiss needed a few more details than just "jump down and help the two fighting the Death Stalker", and it wasn't like Ruby could just… put her plan into their heads.

"Uh, Nora's the with the revolver grenade launcher-hammer. Really loud."

Well, not without things going horribly wrong. She could give a… nudge, sort of, if she was gentle and careful and calm, but that had its own problems.

"Ren's her partner. Green outfit and machine-pistol hook-blades. He's trying to distract the Death Stalker long enough for Nora to get a hit in, but that bridge they're on doesn't give him much room."

And as unused as Ruby was at putting her plans to words, it was… surprisingly easy once she got going.

"Which is where you come in!"

"Let me guess: get behind the Death Stalker, keep it occupied, and then let… Nora crack that thing?"

"Uh, yep! Death Stalker armour can get really tough at that size. You need explosives, AP or high impact melee to get through. Freezing the joints is also a good idea."

She could get used to this, actually.

"You have a sniper ri-"

"Crescent Rose is a Super High Velocity Penetrator."

"… that thing. Whatever. Can't you crack that thing's skull from here?"

"Crescent Rose's stakes can go through, but they don't do enough damage on the other end."

"…Doesn't Armacham make a version of those things with a fire dust charge and a delayed fuse?"

"…Yes. They do. I, uh… I didn't bring any."

"I'm afraid to ask, but, why?"

"Because her Fire Dust privileges are suspended."

"That was two months ago, Yang!"

"Still suspended, Ruby."

Maybe. So long as she learned not to put her entire foot in her mouth. Or leave openings for certain older sisters to exploit.

"As fascinating as this is to watch as a single child, could we focus?"

"Y-yes. Anyways…"

----------

When in high-stress situations, the natural response is to tunnel vision. Focus on the threat directly ahead, or the task that needs to be done, blocking out every other distraction around you. This is to be expected; people who are distracted from the rampaging boarbatusk in front of them tend not to live very long, after all.

But there are situations where the noise behind you is what kills you, not the growling predator (or the angry foreigner with a sword) in front, and laser-like focus becomes your doom. Hence why, with training and experience, one can widen the 'tunnel', so to speak. Regain some more awareness of your surroundings; enough that one can react and be aware of what's going on, but not so much that you lose focus.

Pyrrha Nikos was the first to realize they're getting help, spotting two figures leap off the edge of the cliff, and onto one of the taller ruins. Lie Ren was the next one to do so, seeing Blake and Weiss hoping their way down the ruins. Nora saw what Ren was seeing and grinned as Team Monochrome (as Ruby rather insistently called them) got into position behind the Death Stalker.

----------

"Yang, fastball!"

----------

The first sign that Jaune got that he was getting reinforcements was when a red and black blur slammed into the back of the Giant Nevermore he was facing.

----------

"It looks like things are shaping up to be an… interesting year."

Ozpin could feel Glynda rolling her eyes. "The 'Invincible Girl', the Schnee heiress, a boy who acts like he's never even held his own sword before…" A scoff. "Interesting is certainly one way put it. And that's before you get to… her."

Ozpin didn't miss the shudder from Glynda. "You can't say she didn't make an impression," he said, almost to himself, "even if it wasn't as positive as we might've wished."

"Ruby Rose and her sister brawled up and down the length of Patch for half an hour," Glynda deadpanned. "And don't even get me started on how much of her luggage is medication." Glynda's tone softened and became all the harsher for it. "This is not the right place for her."

Ozpin's own voice didn't falter, although even he couldn't keep his emotions from tinting it. "I'm not sure if there is a right place for Miss Rose," he countered, "But if there is…"

On the screens Glynda and he were watching, the fight began to turn…

----------

"No plan survives contact with the enemy."

Ruby struggled to remember things beyond a certain point; the red haze of her condition had made true consciousness a long and difficultjourney, and the few memories of her childhood she did have were all the more precious for her. One of those was a lesson from Qrow; he'd quoted that, and then told Yang and her that people would usually quip it whenever any plan went wrong, as if mocking the idea of having one at all.

Those people, Qrow had told her, didn't know what the hell they were talking about.

Don't remember what the full quote was –some old Atlaesian General said it way before the Great War, and he said it in Atlaesian anyways– but the best way to understand what he meant was like this; imagine you're trying to win a fight in a single swing, or with only one bullet. Unless you're absolutely, completely, positively swear-on-your-soul certain_ that that's all you're gonna need, you'd be crazy to think that. So, you need more; multiple swings, multiple bullets, different kinds of both._

And the real trick; knowing where to use which.

The initial part of the plan went off exactly as Ruby expected. Blake and Weiss dropped right behind the Death Stalker. A slash from Gambol Shroud got the beast's attention, and a wave from Myrtenaster covered the leg joints in ice just as it turned to face them. It roared with Hate, and a volley of grenades from Nora (Ruby wished she'd gotten to know what her weapon's name was) sent it stumbling as it tried to react to the new threat.

Before the Nevermore could intervene, Yang threw her.

Ruby became a blur of crimson petals. The world seemed to be too slow and too fast at once; stretched by her own speed into a smear of colours. It was difficult to focus on anything besides what was directly in front of her, and even then, Ruby's vision was distorted.

So Ruby Rose closed her eyes.

After all, she'd never needed eyes to See.

Crimson unreality fills her mind's eye. She Sees the Quiet Vengeance and the Roaring Thunder, the Icy Blade and Bloody Shadow, frozen as they clash with the mass of ENEMY between them.

(Idly, Ruby noted that The Things which were and weren't Weiss and Blake didn't have nearly as many barbs and blades pointed at each other as before. Improvement!)

She Sees the Untouchable Idol standing like a breakwater against the larger ENEMY, and the Paper? Knight quivering and fluttering beside her.

(Ruby caught the difference. The Thing which was and wasn't Jaune Arc had to cling to The Thing that was and wasn't Pyrrha Nikos to stand, but it was standing. Hm. Hm.)

She Sees it all, feels the Roaring Fire's familiar warmth behind her (and also always, always with her) and focuses on the ENEMY she'd chosen to DIE.

Ruby willed herself forwards.

Faster.

Faster!

Faster!

(She wondered if she'd ever moved this fast.)

Faster!!

The faster she goes the deeper Crescent Rose's blade will tear into her Enemy. The deeper the wound she makes is the faster it will Die. The faster it Dies the sooner she can Kill more- tooclose!

The mass of petals and speed she'd become coalesces into a single point and suddenly Ruby's a lance of red and black, of flesh and steel and bone and Wrath. She'd miscalculated and turned back too early, or she'd flinched and slowed herself down out of reflex when the collision loomed too large, and even though Crescent Rose bites deep and the Nevermore's scream of pain is like music to her ears, the wound is that tiny bit too shallow or too small to be the killing blow she wants.

"Holy-!"

Ruby's faintly aware of Jaune almost stumbling back as she squeezes the trigger. Oxygen and aerosolized fuel ignite in the chamber and Crescent Rose roars her wrath, a 10mm spike driving deep into the Nevermore. Ruby's hands fly across the bolt, a touch of semblance and more making it move faster than any other action could've done, and Crescent Rose fires again.

But the blade's not deep enough, or the variable muzzle break's not set up right, or both, and the recoil pulls Crescent Rose out of the wound she made enough that the Nevermore's thrashing tosses Ruby and her weapon away.

Enormous black wings spread, and the Grimm screeched with hatred and pain as it took off; still too injured to truly fly, so instead the hop just brought it up to perch the roof of the tower.

Ruby falls. The world flashes crimson, and then she's not; now she was standing on the bridge, Crescent Rose in hand, glaring up at the Nevermore with just as much hated as the Grimm's own glowering gaze.

Ruby took a deep breath and planted Crescent Rose's bottom spike on the ground, letting the familiar presence of her sweetheart ground her as she Feltthe world around her. Blake and Weiss were still getting in each other's way, the Death Stalker hadn't been cracked open…

What went wrong, what went right, what can we do from here, what more do we need, what more can we try?

Ruby steadied herself, closed her eyes, and then her mind reached upwards to give the roaring flame that was and wasn't her sister a well-practiced nudge. Tiny, faint, not even the thought of a thought. You'd have to know what to feel beforehand to even know it was there, and only the most basic of ideas could be transmitted, one at a time; closer, away, me, you, yes, no. The mental equivalent of monosyllables.

Ruby felt her sister go from concern and impatience to shock, then confusion, and then a hearth-warm surge of pride that made Ruby smile; two months of practice had paid off.

That's my little sister.

Yang dropped from above, and Ruby Rose pushed forwards.

Next swing, next bullet, next plan.

Double Rainbow: Good Deed

Yang: We hold these truths to be self-evident. Lesbians give the best blowjobs.

Weiss: *gets a headache*

Nora: How so?

Jaune: Wouldn't they be bisexuals?

Yang: Implying they are, you know, volunteering.

Jaune: So.... lesbians give the best blowjobs when they are forced to? Why are we raping lesbians?

Nora: They should be talked into it.

Yang: I'm not saying we should.

Ruby: Because it kind of sounds like you are. Because, if you want the best blowjob, does that mean you have to force a lesbian to do it?

Yang: I'm just saying they do.

Weiss: How could we possibly even collect the data?!

Blake: I am curious why?

Yang: Because is a straight girl does it, half of it is for your own enjoyment.

Weiss: . . .

Weiss: I feel this statement is incorrect.

Yang: Which is just your way of saying you've never done it.

Weiss: *blushes*

Weiss: Of course I haven't!

Yang: Unfortunately, your poor attempts at flirting with Neptune prove you're not a lesbian, so we can't try with you.

Weiss: *muttering*

Yang: I like boys, Nora like's Ren.

Nora (looking about nervously): Like a friend.

Yang: Ruby's got it for a certain someone.

Ruby (admonishing): YANG!

Yang: I said - someone.

Ruby: *hides in her hood*

Yang: Blake had her big, bad Ex. We need to find a lesbian! My titties for a lesbian.

Weiss: Unfortunately, that is the first thing you've said that makes any sense.

Nora (to Jaune): Do you know any lesbians?

Jaune: All the girls I know are my sisters and their friends.

Nora: Are any of them lesbians?

Weiss: I feel that might be unproductive.

Nora (to Ruby): What about Ruby.

Ruby (lying): I know people! *looks about nervously*

Nora: Me and Ren only know each other. Weiss?

Weiss: Implying I had asked how they care to... what was the word? Muff dive.

Yang: *giggles*

Yang: I've never heard that with a posh accent.

Nora: You didn't?

Weiss: I did not.

Nora: Blake?

Blake: *head raises up, ears dance around nervously*

Jaune: That's enough.

Nora: Don't you want to try?

Jaune: Of course I want to try. But there is so much wrong with this.

Weiss: Thank you. Finally some semblance of sense.

Blake: I do know one.

Weiss: You are not suggesting we... abscond her, are you?

Jaune: I'm not raping anyone.

Nora: Even if she wants to be raped?

Blake: It's called a ravishment fantasy. And most women like it.

Weiss: *scoff*

Blake: You should see what the average woman reads.

Nora: So, you're going to talk her into it?

Blake: *eyes open wide*

Blake: I guess I would have to, wouldn't I?

Weiss: What are you going to do, tie her up in a dungeon, and have Jaune?..

* * *

Ilia: *wakes up, naked in a dungeon*

Ilia: *blinks as her eyes adjust to low-light*

Ilia: *focuses on a black figure above her*

Ilia (concerned): Blake?

Blake: Welcome back. I want to help you out with a family.

Ilia: *looks around, and sees a rough bed*

Ilia: *looks at Blake*

Blake: No, not me. Even better, or worse. You can leave at any chance, but we both know it's better if you think you can't. I can say one thing, you can trust him.

Blake: *turns black and disappears*

Jaune: *walks in the room, naked*

*door closes behind him*

Jaune: Yang said something funny. She said that lesbians give the best blowjobs. Why don't you start by finding out.

* * *

Ilia: *wakes up, cuddled up to Jaune as they lay naked in bed*

Ilia: *snuggles up to Jaune's warm, strong body*

* * *

Yang: *smiling as she looked at the monitor*

Weiss: I believe all we achieved was proving she was bisexual.

Yang: See how happy they are?

Weiss: Among a great many other things.

Ruby: *eyes locked to the monitor*

Yang: Well, I did my good deed for the year.

Jaune's Many Threesomes 4: Ruby and Kali SCRAPPED DRAFT

Note: This is the unfinished first daft for JMT chapter 4. Which I'm releasing because I feel like it. It really only gets to the Kali part though.

Growing up mostly without a mother meant that there were just some things that Ruby had to figure out on her own.

Not that Yang didn't help as much as she could and her dad and Uncle Qrow were mostly there to help her with the huntress stuff. But there were just some things Ruby didn't want to talk with them about.

Like dating and boys.

And no, it wasn't because everyone in her family was about as overprotective of her as they could be without wrapping her in bubble wrap. Though the though of them going after the boy she liked wasn't exactly a pleasant one.

It was mostly because, well, none of them were good at dating. At least not in the long term. Ruby didn't even know if Uncle Qrow had ever actually been in a relationship that wasn't for one night. The whole Blake thing proved that Yang was just about as useless at dating as Ruby was. And her dad... well, it wasn't exactly his fault, but you can't say he has a good record.

So Ruby was going to need to go somewhere else if she wanted to get some good advice when it came to dating, and as luck would have it, both RWBY and JNPR took a little trip to Menagerie.

While they've only been there for a few days, Blake's parents were super nice. And they've apparently been married for years. So if here was anyone to ask how to ask a boy out, Ruby thought they would be a good choice. Or at least the best choice she had.

"So you want to know the ins and outs of dating?" Kali said, sitting next to Ruby on her guest bed. "Then I'll do my best to help you with the basics of seduction."

"Seduction?" Ruby said, tilting her head a bit to the side. "What do you mean, seduction?"

"Well, seduction is about making a guy, or girl, want you."

"Want me? You mean like with Yang showing off her boobs all the time, because umm." Ruby said, looking down at her more modest chest. "I don't think that's going to work for me."

"Well, that's one way to do it, but you don't have to be seductive in the same way Yang is. It's kind of like fighting, you have to figure out what works for you specifically." Kali said, and that did make a lot of sense, but Ruby didn't really think she had any really 'sexy' features. "But I think giving you a little demonstration might help you get an idea for the basics."

"A demonstration?" Ruby said, as Kali stood up, moving a chair a little bit in front of where Ruby was sitting and nodded. "Well, if you think it will help." Ruby didn't mind if she wanted to get Ghira to help, he seemed nice and like he wouldn't judge her at least. That's who Ruby guessed that Kali was getting as she poked her head out into the hallway anyway.

"Oh Jaune!" Kali said in a sing song tone. And that was the exact person that Ruby wanted Kali to bring in the least! She'd even take Yang over Jaune. "Could you come in here a moment and help me with something?" Kali continued before Ruby was able to protest.

"Sure," Jaune said, as he entered the room. "What do you need help with?" Jaune said, before Kali pulled him through the room and sat him down in the chair. Before Ruby could decided if she should run out of the room or not, Kali sat down on his lap. Stopping Ruby's thoughts in their tracks and starting a little blood flow for Jaune.

"Now Ruby, the first thing you need to learn about seduction, is to lean into you strengths." Kali said, as she began grinding the original bellabooty, which was as soft as it was large, into Jaune's already stiffening cock. "And while you may not have large boobs like your sister, you do have a pretty nice ass." And that was not something Ruby expected to hear today.

"Mrs. Belladonna." Jaune attempted to protest. Though he had to admit that he didn't exactly want her to stop, he didn't want to do anything sexual with a married woman, and definitely not in front of Ruby. "Is this the best way to help Ruby with... whatever you're trying to help her with?"

"Oh, certainly. I find that a good in person demonstration is the best way to learn how to get your man." Kali said, leaning back she whispered into Jaune's ear. "And don't worry. Ghira knows all about what I'm about to do to you." Kali giggled before turning her attention back to Ruby.

"So, if you want to use your ass to your advantage, you'll have to show it off a bit more. Maybe wear shorter skirts of tight athletic shorts." Kali continued to grind her magnificent ass into Jaune's groin. His cock now as hard as a rock and threatening to rip through his pajama pants. "You can also use your innocent looks to your advantage. Maybe sit in your crush's lap and grind him like I'm doing with Jaune here."

Telling Ruby to grind on her crush while grinding on Ruby's crush. How ironic.

Before Ruby could respond, her face now sporting an atomic blush, Kali bend over. Giving Jaune a nice look at the ass that was teasing him so mercilessly, Kali wearing a much shorter and revealing dress than she normally did. Which Jaune was beginning to suspect she wore just to tease him, but he didn't expect for her to hike up her dress. Revealing her nearly bare ass as she wore a tiny black thong.

Bending over further, she slipped the thong down her legs. Giving Jaune a clear view of her wet pussy. Apparently she was enjoying the grinding as much as he was. Ruby sat silently, watching as Kali sat back down on Jaune's lap. Grinding away again.

"But if you start something." Kali said, grabbing the hem of Jaune's pants and pulling them down. Sandwiching Jaune's cock between her Kali's ass cheeks. Before she pulled herself up, using her hand to align Jaune's cock to her entrance. "You have to be willing to follow through." Jaune gasped as Kali slammed herself down onto him. Taking his entire cock in one swift motion as she softly moaned.

"My my, Jaune. You're bigger than I thought you would be." And she was a whole lot sluttier than he thought she would be. But he would be lying if he didn't say he pussy didn't feel amazing, and even more so as she began to raise herself off his lap before slamming back down. Her ass jiggling with a loud slap every time she came down.

Jaune didn't exactly know what he was supposed to do. Part of him wanted to grab that amazing ass, but he didn't know how Kali would react, and he didn't exactly want her to stop.

Ruby didn't know what to do at all as she sat watching Kali ride her best friend. What she would have done a few months ago, maybe even a few days ago, was run out of the room and try to pretend this never happened, but now? She slipped a hand up her skirt as she watched Jaune's big cock be enveloped over and over again by Kali's hungry pussy.

Kali was just enjoying herself. Wishing Jaune would just grab her ass already, or better yet pinning her down and fucking her silly while Ruby watched, but riding his fat cock was wonderful. Of course, he wasn't as big as Ghira, but she had a soft spot for blonds.

And he was lasting a good bit longer than Sun did his first time with Kali.

But Jaune wasn't going to last much longer at his rate with Kali's pussy tightening around his cock like a vise grip. While it went against everything his mother had ever told him about sex, he didn't want to get Kali pregnant. He needed to pull out.

Ruby watched as Kali slammed herself down one last time. Ruby having moved her panties out of the way, she started fingering herself as she watched Kali bounce on a cock that should be hers

That she needed to claim.

Kali leaned back, whispering into Jaune's ear again as she rolled her hips. "I can feel how close you are. How much you cock is throbbing." Kali purred. "I want you cum. Do it, fill me."

And with that whatever was left of Jaune's sensible self was gone in that moment. Now the only think he wanted to do was fuck this horny cat lady until she was a quivering mess.

Ruby watched as Jaune wrapped her arms around Kali and began thrusting hard into her pussy. Ruby's fingers moving faster to match his pace as the two girls moaned and Jaune grunted. The loud slaps of Jaune's cock slamming into Kali mixing with their moans to create a wonderful song.

Kali screamed and dug her claws into the wooden chair as Jaune grunted and started to fill her needy pussy with one then two then three then four thick shots of cum sending her over the edge as she tried to squeeze every bit of semen out of him.

Ruby's back arched as she came, watching a thick stream of cum leak from Kali's pussy. That cum should've been filling her pussy.

All three sat and laid still, panting, for a long moment as the high of their orgasms faded. Kali was the first to move, pulling herself off of Jaune's now softening cock on shaky legs. Walking over before laying down next to Ruby on her bed. "And that's how you seduce a stud." Kali said, sounding more than a little tired. "Try it out if you want to."

Want to? Ruby needed it. She needed Jaune, she needed his cock. So, on nearly equally shaky legs to Kali, walked over to Jaune. Who was still somewhat in a daze as Ruby approached. Basically throwing off her clothing until she was completely naked. "Ruby?" He said, as she crawled onto his lap. His cock twitching as she looked him in the eyes.

"I want you." Ruby said, her voice more full of want and lust than Jaune ever thought it could be. As she grinded her wet pussy against the bottom of his once again hardening cock. "I want you in me. Now. Tomorrow. Forever."

"Forever?" Jaune said, did that mean she wanted to date him? Marry him even? Her certainly seemed to want to have sex with him, and if his now fully erect cock were any indication, he wanted to with her. But he didn't want her to do anything she wasn't 100% ready for. "Are you sure, Ruby?"

And he received his answer as Ruby leaned forward and kissed him. A soft and sweet kiss than really didn't match with the fact that she was currently grinding against him.

[rnadett]

Looks like some people really got the bait and can't understand the way Ruby is feeling and blaming Yang for everything and calling her a bad sister (again). Yang is literally the best sister everyone could ask for. She was nothing but always supportive for Ruby. Protecting her all cost and would die for her. CRWBY literally did a parallel scene to prove it. I'm talking about those two scenes where Yang lost her arm to protect Blake and where she jumped between Ruby and Neo and she fell... and even back then... Yang was never angry at Ruby when she left her after she lost her arm... even if basically she left like Blake did. Ruby didn't face Yang just left. and guess what? Yang went to search Ruby even with her severe ptsd. She was so afraid and not a whole but she went to look for Ruby... and you can blame Yang because she didn't recognise her sister's mental state or she didn't do anything about it. (and even if she did notice. What could she do? Mostly nothing more, she was already here for her, this is something she needs to work it out alone) Also I understand Ruby's perspective as well. She was in always a bubble and Yang absorved every bad thing during her childhood and protect her all cost (even now) but It's it's easier to blame everyone but herself, and I even understand that It's hard to see others happy while she is breaking down but I think Yang is just also got enought. There is a point where she was allowed to think about herself and she finally did it. The place literally did it. She needed to comfort her feelings and be happy. Yes, it's the worst possible time in Ruby's case but when if not now? Also maybe this Yang's way to face the trauma... To let it go and be happy about that they survived. (I think that this is also Blake's way. She realised that life can be short and she is no wasting more time, she got a second chance and took it) .. So this all is just more complex than we think and I think this season is so well written. Even if we don't see it in the surface because of the weird paper stars... Everyone have their own side of the story. Yang have every reason to be finally happy and finally be herself and let her little sister hand go.. She kept babysitting Ruby for so long. And I can understand Ruby too. She is feeling like she is alone with her grief, and she thinks she is a failure. I'm interested about how they will solve this if they will... Also I love the other parallel between Ruby and Blake. Blake was so negative in the beginning almost without hope, and now she seem to be the most hopeful one while Ruby now experiencing the worst time in her life. Also today I rewatched Ruby's letter scene from volume 4. It's also brilliant because now she would literally snap herself in the face. She would be sooo angry if someone would write her a letter with all these things she said. And this is why she went for Blake especially, because she reminded her old self and right now Ruby is hating everything about her past self. I can't wait for the next episodes.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk, also excuse me for my english skills.

Ruby is very supportive of her brother Jaune, but thinks Weiss is being a meanie to her. She has to do something about it. Oh! Her brother can sing well with a guitar, maybe that’ll get her attention. Just have to make sure he doesn’t get nervous.

Previously

"What?" Jaune balks. "Ruby, I haven't tried playing the guitar in years!"

"But you used to be so good at it!" Ruby argued, shoving the old guitar she had Dad mail from home. It was still bigger than her, but it was also the right size for Jaune! "Remember when you, me, Dad, and Yang would sit under the stars and listen while you played?"

"No, I remember us sitting in the living room while I slowly played each string to one of Yang's rock songs."

"But you were so good!"

"No, I wasn't."

"No, he wasn't." Yang added. "Remember what I said, Jaune?"

"That I had all the skill of a homeless man begging for spare change."

"And I stand by that statement." Yang then left as brutally as she entered.

Jaune looked to his sister, who gave sad, pouty eyes. "I guess it couldn't hurt to give it another try."

--------------------------------------------------

"I'll be in the library..." Blake slowly trudged out of the dorm.

"Great." Yang sighed.

"She can't keep going on like this." Weiss lamented. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. With some small hope in her heart that Blake had returned, Weiss quickly answered the door, only to lose more hope than she intended at seeing that idiot of Yang Ruby's brother, Jaune, standing at the door with guitar in hands.

"Weiss~!"

She slammed the door in his face.

"I'm going to fucking murder him."

"Please don't." Ruby pleaded meekly.

"I'll kill you, too, for giving him that stupid thing!"

"Oh, come on, Weiss! I promise not to sing!" Jaune called through the door.

Rant of the week: RWBY

Ah yes, I was waiting for this one. If you ever wondered what really grinds my gears and what kind of shape my ideal fictional world would have, well you're in luck. Because RWBY is the one show that probably comes the closest to that.

I remember when my then-best friend showed me this animated show and told me she loved it. Back then only 3 seasons were out and the show looked like it had a budget of around 7 $.

Yet I still fell in love with it. The perfect synergy of building characters, story, comedy, and voice acting made this my all-time favorite.

Season 9 finished a few months ago and I still had the exact same amount of fun watching as I did over 7 years ago.

So put on your seatbelts and let's dive into the world of remnant!

RWBY takes place in a world that is probably the most comparable to My Hero Academia but much darker.

The story revolves mostly around our four main characters: Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long.

All of them have the same goal: They want to become Huntresses.

On remnant there are creatures to be found that are lured by negative emotions and death. They torture the human race and it seems like they have only one goal: destruction. These are called: the creatures of Grimm.

Hunters and Huntresses are the ones whose primary focus is protecting the human race from these monsters. Usually, they are assigned into teams of four where the letters of their names combined make out their team name.

In the world of remnant, every person also has a special kind of natural ability called a semblance. Naturally, Hunters and Huntresses make good use of them in combat.

The story starts off by introducing us to all these characters in a very unique way and then proceeds to show us their school life.

Along come several hardships.

Ruby struggles to be a team leader because she is the youngest and thinks she doesn't have what it takes.

Weiss comes from a rich family, can't stand Ruby at all and it's abundantly clear that she isn't good at working in a team.

Blake is very quiet and seems to have a dark past that she doesn't want to talk about. On top of that: she is a Faunus. Magical creatures that are basically humans with animal traits. Therefore they are different from humans and of course, that means... they face discrimination.

Yang is Ruby's older sister and tries her best to support her and become friends with the rest of the team. She is the one that mostly contributes to comedy but has a knack for letting her emotions get the better of her. Also: she seems to develop a certain attachment to Blake

I could go on but it would make this post waaay too long if I did and would also spoil stuff for people who might wanna watch it.

Besides team RWBY there is another team that plays a major role in team JNPR which contains my favorite character which is why I mention it xD but saying more about that certain character would probably lead to spoilers. People who know the show can probably guess who it is:

Pyrrha Nikos. The rising star of Beacon Academy. Everyone seems to think she is the best of the best and put her on a pedestal, whereas in reality she just wants to be seen as a normal person... yet almost nobody seems to treat her normally... almost.

I don't think I wanna make the post much longer so let's go to the question we've been waiting for:

What makes RWBY so great?

This is gonna sound a bit anticlimactic but I honestly don't really know what fascinates me so much about this show.

I always watched it and there was never a single thing, a single plot hole, or bad character development that bothered me.

The show is not perfect by any means and there is quite a lot of drama around the producing company Rooster Teeth with them not treating their employees right...

On top of that after 2015 the show took a drastic turn which is very much noticeable because the original creator Monty Oum died.

Despite all of this I love RWBY with all of my heart. The introduction of the characters. The unique world-building. The simple yet effective design of the story. It's just nothing you'd ever see in any anime. There was never a major necessity of explaining lore to the viewer until Volume 6.

The voice acting is sometimes a bit weird in the beginning but usually still very decent which is amazing considering Monty Out just picked up Kara Eberle (voice of Weiss) from a receptionist's position (hilarious trivia xD).

But he knew what he was doing and it really showed.

I can only recommend watching it for yourself. You will find most of it on Rooster Teeths website except for Volume 9 which is only on Crunchyroll.

The first couple of episodes are also very short but effective.

If you love fantasy and shows with characters with special powers... *cough* and girl-bosses *cough* this is the show for you xD

Hm... I always feel like I'm missing a few things in these posts. I don't even know if I describe the series optimally so I'm a bit unsure about these extremely long posts.

Feel free to tell me if there is something you're missing or if there is something else you wanna know about.

Thanks for reading ^^

Trouble with Baby.

Baby: Wahhhh!!!

Ruby: Oh no the baby is crying, what do we do?! 😵

Yang: Wow, wow! What are you looking at me for. I'm supposed to be the wild and irresponsible one, remember?

Blake: *ugghh* Would someone please do something about it. I'm trying to read here.

Weiss: I'm trying to find a nanny through this app. Is 3000 lien a week sounds reasonable to you girls?

Ruby: *smell something* Eww.... The baby just pooped! 😨

Baby: Wahhh!!!

Blake: And... That's my cue to bail out. Sorry sisters but this is where the bond of sisterhood absolutely doesn't matter.

Yang: Oh no you don't. You don't get to take the easy way out and run away like you usually do.

Weiss: Whose great idea was it to babysit other people's baby?

BY: *Points towards Ruby*

Ruby: *Gulp* But his parents are in the hospital right now and they need someone to watch over the baby for them in the meanwhile. 😣

Weiss: That doesn't mean it should be us. You dolt. There's must be someone more capable to take care of a baby.

Ruby: But everyone is busy with the Vytal festival. And I just can't say no. 🥺

Weiss: So instead you volunteer the entire team to take care of a baby without asking us before hand?

Ruby: Well what's done is done and you seems to forget the most important thing here. That someone still have to change the baby's diaper.

Weiss: Well it won't be me that's for sure.

Yang: Eeehhh. Is it too late to run away with you Blake?

Blake: I know I'm the last person that should say this but you can't run away from your responsibility.

Ruby: I can't believe you girls would just abandoned a baby like this. And you call your self a hero. 😠

Blake: Uh... No we never call ourselves that.

Weiss: Quit dragging us to your problem. And if you will excuse me I have a date with Neptune.

Yang: And I also gotta go do... Polishing my bike, I guess?

Baby: Wahhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Ruby: Wait please don't go! 😭

Jaune: Don't go where Ruby?

Ruby: Jaune. You came. 🤤 And why is Ciel holding your arm like that? 🤨

Ciel: Hello again Miss. Rose. As you can see Jaune and I are on a date together.

Ruby: D-d-date?! Both of you are on a date?! 😳

Jaune: What no. I'm just showing Ciel around the festival. And what is that smell?

Ruby: Uh I have a baby... I mean I'm taking care of someone's baby for a while. And I might have bitten off more than I can chew. 😞

Jaune: Ah I see. Well Ruby if you are having trouble taking care of the baby then I can help you with that.

Ruby: You sure? I don't want to trouble you or anything like that. 😟

Jaune: It's my pleasure Ruby. *effortlessly changes the Baby's diaper* All done. You are brave boy aren't you. Yes you are.

Baby: Yay!!

Yang: How do you know how to do that?

Jaune: Oh. I just have a lot of younger sibling growing up. So I'm expected to pick up the slack and help take care of them. Not limited to just changing diaper and that's include cooking, cleaning and other things. And I don't mind it because I really-really like babies.

RWBY+C: *The collective sounds of their uterus descending*

Blake: LEWD!!!

Weiss: No-no it can't be right I did not just think about Jaune like that...

Yang: Gods damn Vomit Boy. You got me worked up like when the time Ruby visit a gun store... Isn't that right Ruby... Eh, Ruby why are you looking like that?

Ruby: Heh... Heh.... Heh... Heh...

Jaune: Ruby are you feeling okay. Do you want me to take you to the infirmary?

Ruby: Yes... Yes... We can do it in the infirmary... I mean take me there. There's probably a clean bed we can use... I mean a bed you can put me in. (While I close the door behind you.) 😶‍🌫️

Ciel: Oh Jaune you are so nice to offer her. But I think she is too busy with the baby stuff. And you promised me first to show me around Vytal. And Jaune I think we should end the tour in my room. There's something I want to show you later. What do you say?

Jaune: Your room? I don't know what you are trying to show me, but okay. I'm sorry Ruby I have to finish giving Ciel a tour. Call me in my scroll if you need anymore help.

Ciel: Oh I think we would find it rather enjoyable. *turns towards Ruby* (Get a hint brat he's mine.)

Ruby: Stay away from him! I saw him first! 😡

Ciel: All is fair in love and war.

Baby: Wah!!!!!

Jaune: Stop it you two are scaring the baby!

----------------------------------------------------------

Cassius Harlow x Stevie Sun

Part 4

Having driven almost everyone away and realising just how lost he is, Cas receives an unexpected visit...

Written in the present tense

Part 3

Warnings: Mention of blood, accidental violence, swearing

Word Count: 928

Notes:  I don’t own these characters, they are the property of Pixelberry Studios.

Harlow created on cooltext.com

This is set a couple years after the events of both books.

Cas - Gabriela Navarro...

Gabbie - Just Gabbie is fine.

Cas - H-how?

Gabbie - I don't know.

She looks down at her hands for a moment.

Gabbie - Maybe I have something unfinished, or something is keeping me here. But what I do know is that you could do with some help. I've been watching since you arrived. Sorry about my brother by the way.

Cas - Don't apologise. His anger is warranted.

Gabbie - I don't know what's happened to you, but you can't keep being reckless like you have been, you may have nothing to fight for, but they do.

Cas - That's what Stevie said.

Gabbie - I know. I was there. So why do you think you have nothing?

Cas - I've been exiled from my home. I had friends. And yeah, there was someone, but they chose somebody else!

Gabbie - I know you've only been here a couple of days, but you should give this place a chance. Give people a chance. Acting like an asshole and shutting people out won't get you anywhere.

Cas nods.

Gabbie - Perhaps this place could be a fresh start for you. Cas Harlow two point zero.

Cas - More like three.

Gabbie - My point stands. Give them all a chance.

Cas takes a breath, Gabbie's right. Beachwood is a chance at a new life for him.

Cas - ...Thank you, Gabbie. And I'll help you find a way to move on. Whatever that is.

Gabbie - One supernatural problem at a time.

Cas - Guess I should make an apology or two.

Gabbie - Maybe. And think about what I said.

Cas - I... I will.

Gabbie places her hand on his shoulder before fading away, leaving Cas facing her headstone.

The next morning, Blake, Tyler, Donovan, and Stevie hang out at the local diner and Donovan scowls when he sees Cas walk in, approaching.

Cas - This your local hang out?

Donovan - What do you want?

Cas - To apologise. The boulder was too much. The truth is I'm not overly used to working with people. I only just managed to get the hang of teamwork a couple years ago when I dealt with the Creations before. But, I'm side tracking. I know you all have your reasons to fight, and truth be told, I don't. But, if you're still okay with it, I'd... I'd like your help getting rid of the Creations, and to give me a second chance.

Tyler - No more unexpected boulders?

Cas - No.

Stevie stands and wraps her arms around him. Hesitant at first, he brings his arms up around her before she steps back. Cas looks to Donovan.

Donovan - Fine. I'll give you a second chance.

Stevie takes Cas' hand, pulling into the seat next to her.

Donovan - What brought about this sudden change of heart?

Cas - Words from wise people.

He looks over at Stevie, giving a slight smile before looking to Donovan.

Cas - Including your sister.

Donovan - What?!

Cas - Her ghost visited me.

Donovan - She's a... a ghost?

Cas - Yeah. I made a promise I would help her move on. But she insisted that we deal with these things first. I'll take you all to her. I promise. She seems like a good person.

Tyler - The best...

Silence hangs for a moment as Donovan wipes a few tears.

Donovan - There are a couple of other people who will want to see her.

Blake - You mean Joanna.

Donovan - And Claudia. But not until we've gotten rid of these Creation things.

Blake - Which I've been thinking about. You said you scoured the woods.

Cas - Yeah.

Blake - What if they're not in the woods, but in town. There's the industrial area. And I know that at least one of those buildings is empty.

Cas - It could be a possibility.

Tyler - Then what're we waiting for?! Let's go get them.

Cas - No.

Tyler - I thought you had a change of heart!

Cas - I want to see what you can do first. Self defence, anything like that. And you need to hone things when on my blood.

That afternoon, Cas watches as rocks crumble, fallen tree trunks shatter from blow after blow by the blood enhanced Beachwood crew. Cas catches a small rock that flew off from Donovan's punch.

Cas - Not bad.

Donovan - I have a bit of anger to work out.

Cas - Fair enough.

As afternoon turns to evening, Cas tests each of them in a hand to hand sparring match. His experience as a Vampire allows him to get the better of them, but not without close calls. Stevie swipes her leg, flooring Cas.

Blake - Yes, Stevie!

Cas throws his legs to get back on his feet, and Stevie launches her fist into his face.

Cas - Ah!

Stevie - Sorry! Meant to stop just shy.

Cas wipes the blood from his nose, smiling.

Cas - Don't apologise for a good strike. You all know what you're doing, I'll give you that.

Stevie - We may have taken some classes.

The corner of Cas' mouth forms into a smile, but that smile soon turns to concentration when a chittering sound echoes...

Cas - Shit.

Blake - What is it?

Cas' eyes turn their Vampiric silver as the Creations begin closing in on the group. All this time Cas has been hunting them, they have been hunting him.

Cas - They're here...
