What's that?? DOUBLE COMICS for JUNE OF ARC?! MONDAYS and FRIDAYS all June long?!?!
___
JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. Joan first heard what she called "her voices" while in her father's garden at the age of 13. They came from the direction of her village's church, and were always accompanied by bright light. By the third time she heard them, she said she knew they were the voices of saints. 2. Joan's voices started out by simply encouraging her to go to church and do the right thing. In this cartoon, Joan's voices tell her not to murder a child. Not murdering children is definitely the right thing, but Joan's voices probably never actually had to tell that to her. The joke here is that this moral guidance is so obvious that it's completely unnecessary.

Unlimited Harems AU: Team SRAW Part 2
Summer: *Walks into the inn room they're using for the night*
Summer: Bad news, none of my old contacts, that believe it's me, can help.
Weiss: So we'll have to go with a drastic option.
Jaune: It's going to be interesting to see my parents after so long. I wonder what they're going to say.
Ruby: I'm sure they'll welcome you back, Jaune.
Jaune: Them welcoming me back isn't what I'm worried about, it's if they're ever going to let me go again.
------
This time you'll be voting for a random encounter while SRAW are walking to Domremy.
Sometimes you'll know what the encounter options are, sometimes you don't. That's the fun of it.
The encounters can either be random enemies, the start of a subplot, advancing a romance plot, some sexy time, etc.
usually you'll have six options, but this time we'll do four.

Not Enough To Save You
(The Remus Lupin is Joan of Arc fic)
Her voice was rich and aching. There was grief in it, the deep sadness of something irreplaceable lost. Remus thought of Domremy, of the raid and the fire, of the kind of careless devastation that turns a heart to faith, or away from it. She supposed the Princess had suffered the loss of her home, too, though Remus had not thought of it that way before hearing her sing.
She began her third song and looked directly at Remus, her storm colored eyes amused and melancholy and challenging all at once. Remus had thought herself quite immune to intrigue. She was a girl who’d seen the light of angels, who knew the future through her dreams. She was not easily moved to interest.
But as the Princess sang, she listed forward- just slightly- in the pew, her lips parting as if she might join her in song, or invite some other intervention upon her mouth. The Princess favored her with a smile, her gaze never wavering, and Jeanne d’Arc, who’d seen divine fire and the blood of war and now something entirely more frightening in the church at Chinon this day, blushed, and looked away.

The Grand History Of Remnant: Prelude - The Arc Legacy
Jaune's Great Grandad fought in the great war. Other than that we don't know much. For this series we'll say he fought for Vale, and here's a few ideas I had for his backstory.
1. The Grant
He graduated middle of his class from Vale's Military Academy. Being assigned to an infantry platoon in Vale's southwest as a Lieutenant. There he would make a name for himself during the Blackwater Wars (Placeholder name), Vale's attempt to stomp out bandit tribes and grimm hordes in the region. To help facilitate further trade with Vacuo.
Over the years he spend there he would rise to the rank of Captain before getting caught up in a political scandal and being forced to resign his commission.
Afterwards he would return to Domremy, marry, and start several business ventures that all failed miserably.
After the start of the war, and the subsequent swelling of Vale's military, he would be offered a command by an old friend from his academy days.
Which he would accept.
2. The McClellan
He graduated the top of his class from Vale's Military Academy. Being assigned to an engineer unit, he would see some action towards the end of the Blackwater Wars.
Considered one of Vale's best and brightest young officers, he would quickly move up the ranks in the leadup to the Great War.
During the first year of the war he would be promoted to Major General, and be responsible for training Vale's volunteer forces into an effective fighting force.
3. The Chamberlain
Against the wishes of his father, instead of perusing a career in the military, he would pursue a career in education. Taking multiple jobs across Vale, and one in Mistral, he would be teaching at Grayscale College during the outbreak of the war.
He would take a firmly pro-Vale stance on the war. Citing the inhumane treatment of the faunus populations in Mistral and Mantle as one of the many reasons for his support of the war effort. Which caused a rift between himself and the largely anti-faunus faculty. He would then be placed on a two year "voluntary" leave of absence.
He would then enlist and be offered colonelcy in an infantry regiment. Which he would turn down in favor of being put under the command of a more experienced officer. So that he could "start a little lower and learn the business first."
He would them serve as a lieutenant colonel as the invasion of Vale quickly approached.
4. The Young Officer
He would graduate from Vale's Military Academy shortly before the outbreak of the war. Being assigned to an infantry platoon as the invasion of Vale grew nearer.
5. The Young Soldier
Against his father's wishes, he would fight in the Great War at the age of 17. Not as an officer, but as a private.

Joan of Arc entering Rheims in a 1920s illustration
What happened to her own red gown is not clear: it would appear as though she had taken it with her, for at Chalons, on her way to Reims to crown the Dauphin, she met Jean Morel, her godfather from Greux, near Domremy, and gave him a red garment of her own. Was this the one in which she had travelled from Domremy to Vaucouleurs? If so, the gift must have represented the last link with her old life; for her, no doubt, a brief significant moment — a moment carrying her back to her home at the height of her glory.
—Vita Sackville-West, Saint Joan of Arc

JOAN OF ARC
JOAN OF ARC
c. 1412 – 30 May 1431
Joan of Arc was the daughter of Catholic farming peasants in Domremy, France.
The Hundred Year’s War was when France and the English fought over who should rule France. The Dauphin was ruling the South and most of the rest of France was ruled by the infant Henry VI of England. Joan, 12, alleged that she heard voices from numerous saints who instructed her to support the dauphine (future Charles VII) and to recover France from the English. In 1429, the Dauphin was at Chinon Castle, Joan told him about the divine message she had received from god, impressed and with little to lose, and the Dauphin gave her command of his army.
Joan, 17, wearing armour, rode a white horse to the siege of Orleans where the Dauphin’s army beat the English. They went on to win more victories against the English. The Dauphin was crowned King Charles VII of France, Joan was standing beside him holding up her banner. Charles VII didn’t want to fight anymore battles nor had the finances to do so. In 1430, Joan wanted to continue fighting to gain stability, during the fight of the Burgundians, half of the French army deserted her due to food shortages and lack of payment. An archer pulled Joan from her horse and took her prisoner and she was then sold to the English.
The English attempted to rape her and she wore male clothing as a precaution. Her trial was held in Rouen presided by the churchmen in Paris. She was accused of heresy, witchcraft and idolatry. Joan had no one to defend her, not even Charles VII would help.
Joan was found guilty. On 30 May 1431, Joan, 19, was taken barefoot into the streets of Rouen to the stake at the market place. She burst into tears and asked for a cross to be held in front of her. Someone ran into the local church and handed her a crucifix. Whilst on fire she called out Jesus’ name several times and her death was witnessed by thousands.
In 1456, Charles VII ordered an enquiry and her sentenced was annulled. In 1803, Napoleon named her as a symbol of France.

JUNE OF ARC continues! Mondays and Fridays all June long!
___
JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. The "Fairies' Tree" (or "Ladies' Tree") rested outside Domrémy on the estate of some rich family, and it was near a so-called magic spring. Injured and sick people from around the village would go to the spring to be healed. The tree's existence was brought up in Joan's trial, where her accusers tried to paint her as a heathen who worshipped magic and fairies. Joan admitted to dancing with the other children near the tree, but when her Voices started, she played less and less. She says one of her godmothers, the wife of Domrémy's mayor, claimed to see a real fairy there, but Joan never had. Joan also says that she never knew if anyone who went to the magic spring for healing ever ended up getting healed. 2. "Domrémy-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do" is a play on the popular "Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do", replacing the first three notes with the name of Joan's village. 3. Joan asks the old gossips why they won't believe her when she says her Voices are from saints. She says it's "not fair, folks." This is a play on words, because that phrase can mean two different things: first, that it's not fair (or right) that the gossips won't believe her; and second, that her Voices are not from the fair folk (another name for fairies).

The Green
Once upon a time, long before Weinberger bombed north Africans, before the Bank of Boston laundered money, or Reagan honored the Nazi war dead, the earth was blanketed by a broad mantle of forests. As late as Caesar's time a person might travel through the woods for two months without gaining an unobstructed view of the sky. The immense forests of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America provided the atmosphere with oxygen and the earth with nutrients. Within the woodland ecology our ancestors did not have to work the graveyard shift, or to deal with flextime, or work from Nine to Five. Indeed, the native Americans whom Captain John Smith encountered in 1606 only worked four hours a week. The origin of May Day is to be found in the Woodland Epoch of History.
In Europe, as in Africa, people honored the woods in many ways. With the leafing of the trees in spring, people celebrated "the fructifying spirit of vegetation," to use the phrase of J.G. Frazer, the anthropologist. They did this in May, a month named after Maia, the mother of all the gods according to the ancient Greeks, giving birth even to Zeus.
The Greeks had their sacred groves, the Druids their oak worship, the Romans their games in honor of Floralia. In Scotland the herdsman formed circles and danced around fires. The Celts lit bonfires in hilltops to honor their god, Beltane. In the Tyrol people let their dogs bark and made music with pots and pans. In Scandinavia fires were lit and the witches came out.
Everywhere people "went a-Maying" by going into the woods and bringing back leaf, bough, and blossom to decorate their persons, homes, and loved ones with green garlands. Outside theater was performed with characters like "Jack-in-the-Green" and the "Queen of the May." Trees were planted. Maypoles were erected. Dances were danced. Music was played. Drinks were drunk, and love was made. Winter was over, spring had sprung.
The history of these customs is complex and affords the student of the past with many interesting insights into the history of religion, gender, reproduction, and village ecology. Take Joan of Arc who was burned in May 1431. Her inquisitors believed she was a witch. Not far from her birthplace, she told the judges, "there is a tree that they call 'The Ladies Tree' - others call it 'The Fairies Tree.' It is a beautiful tree, from which comes the Maypole. I have sometimes been to play with the young girls to make garlands for Our Lady of Domremy. Often I have heard the old folk say that the fairies haunt this tree...." In the general indictment against Joan, one of the particulars against her was dressing like a man. The paganism of Joan's heresy originated in the Old Stone Age when religion was animistic and hamans were women and men.
Monotheism arose with the Mediterranean empires. Even the most powerful Roman Empire had to make deals with its conquered and enslaved peoples (syncretism). As it destroyed some customs, it had to accept or transform others. Thus, we have Christmas Trees. May Day became a day to honor the saints, Philip and James, who were unwilling slaves to Empire. James the Less neither drank nor shaved. He spent so much time praying that he developed huge callouses on his knees, likening them to camel legs. Philip was a lazy guy. When Jesus said "Follow me" Philip tried to get out of it by saying he had to tend to his father's funeral, and it was to this excuse that the Carpenter's son made his famous reply, "Let the dead bury the dead." James was stoned to death, and Philip was crucified head downwards. Their martyrdom introduces the Red side of the story, even still the Green side is preserved because, according to the Floral Directory, the tulip is dedicated to Philip and bachelor buttons to James.
The farmers, workers, and child-bearers (laborers) of the Middle Ages had hundreds of holy days which preserved the May Green, despite the attack on peasants and witches. Despite the complexities, whether May Day was observed by sacred or profane ritual, by pagan or Christian, by magic or not, by straights or gays, by gentle or calloused hands, it was always a celebration of all that is free and life-giving in the world. That is the Green side of the story. Whatever else it was, it was not a time to work.
Therefore, it was attacked by the authorities. The repression had begun with the burning of women and it continued in the 16th century when America was "discovered," the slave trade was begun, and nation-states and capitalism were formed. In 1550 an Act of Parliament demanded that Maypoles be destroyed, and it outlawed games. In 1644 the Puritans in England abolished May Day altogether. To these work-ethicists the festival was obnoxious for paganism and worldliness. Philip Stubs, for example, in Anatomy of Abuses (1585) wrote of the Maypole, "and then fall they to banquet and feast, to leape and daunce about it, as the Heathen people did at the dedication of their Idolles." When a Puritan mentioned "heathen" we know genocide was not far away. According to the excellent slide show at the Quincy Historical Society, 90% of the Massachusetts people, including chief Chicatabat, died from chicken pox or small pox a few years after the Puritans landed in 1619. The Puritans also objected to the unrepressed sexuality of the day. Stubs said, "of fourtie, threescore, or an hundred maides going to the wood, there have scarcely the third part of them returned home again as they went."
The people resisted the repressions. Thenceforth, they called their May sports, the "Robin Hood Games." Capering about with sprigs of hawthorn in their hair and bells jangling from their knees, the ancient charaders of May were transformed into an outlaw community, Maid Marions and Little Johns. The May feast was presided over by the "Lord of Misrule," "the King of Unreason," or the "Abbot of Inobedience." Washington Irving was later to write that the feeling for May "has become chilled by habits of gain and traffic." As the gainers and traffickers sought to impose the regimen of monotonous work, the people responded to preserve their holyday. Thus began in earnest the Red side of the story of May Day. The struggle was brought to Massachusetts in 1626.
