#no and it’s even worse with pyrrha then just like letting the others leave if they want

What If...

Pyrrha was also under the sway of Salem Cinder and Pyrrha love each other (Pompeii) Jaune and Emerald are married (Topaz) Jaune and Emerald have a child (Jasmine Esmeralda Arc) Jaune and Emerald are on the run from Salem & Ozpin

Scene : A cheap motel in Argus

==> @cheeseeater2 - What if Nora and Ren find Jaune and Emerald with the kid and let them go if only for the child to be safe. Jaune says even if they hate him forever he loves them and hopes they can be happy one day.

Of all the things Ren and Nora expected after hearing that Jaune had left with Pyrrha during the fall, and then discovering that he and Emerald were on the run from Salem's agents. Finding himself held at gun-point by the man he used to consider a brother, was not one of them.

It had been a stroke of luck, finding out Jaune and Emerald were expecting. It was through idle chit-chat with the other tenants of the apartment building Jaune and Emerald had been living in for the last almost year... before vanishing days before a fire gutted the building. So as they continued their counter operations against Salem's machinations, they kept checking local medical centers and hospitals.

At a stop over in Argus, about a year after the last lead that went cold at the apartment complex. Nora had decided on a whim to check the local hospital, and much to her utter shock she caught site of Emerald leaving with a bundle cradled in her arms. So cautiously she followed the obviously new mother, tracing her back to a rather shabby motel.

A scroll call and Ren was beside her with in twenty minutes. A hint of intimidation and they had the room number. The flimsy wooden door was no obstacle for Nora. She was through it at the first hit of her shoulder. Ren was inside a fraction of a second after Nora burst through the door. The screaming of a startled child, and the yells of a young women, filled the room. But what Ren really focused on was the cold barrel of a rather nasty pistol being pressed against the center of his chest.

"You don't want to do this Jaune." Ren calmly informed his former team leader. "This will just make things worse."

"You right Ren, I don't want to do this, but to protect my wife and my daughter... I will." Jaune replied, his voice measured, and forced like he was fighting the potential of his own emotions surfacing. "Back away Nora."

"Jaune, why?" Nora asked as she stepped back away from the door she had just smashed in.

"I made a mistake." Jaune replied. "Both Em and I did."

"And what do you call this?" Ren asked nodding towards the pistol pressed against his chest.

"Protecting our second chance." Jaune replied. "Em, are you and her okay?"

"We are, she's just a little scared." Emerald answered, as she gently rocked the bundle in her arms. "Shush that's okay sweetie. It's okay, daddy will keep the bad people away from us."

"We're not... bad people." Nora countered.

"Really?" Emerald asked. "You've been trying to find us for years. Chasing us from place to place. Making us uproot, time and time again just so we can have a life away from all the bullshit."

"But..."

"We made mistakes. We were lied to. Led on." Emerald cut Nora off. "We figured it out too late to stop them, so we left."

"And have Ozpin's and Salem's minions dogging us all over Remnant." Jaune added. "We're out. We want to be left in peace. We know nothing, nor do we want to know anything. We're out."

"Jaune, you know..."

"Who says it can't be that way? Ozpin? Salem?" Jaune countered. "Fuck them and their little war!"

"Jaune, language!' Emerald hissed as she continued to placate the fussy infant.

"I'm sorry, but the point remains. We're out. We just want to make a life, for us and our daughter. A quiet life." Jaune expanded upon his original statement. "Both of you away from the door."

"Jaune, this isn't the right way. Come back with us? Ozpin can..."

"Ozpin is a failure." Jaune rebutted. "If he had any brains or sense he would have at least had an idea that Salem was trying something after the breach."

"None of us..."

"No, we didn't." Jaune agreed, "But we we're students, why would we have? The ones in power should have been protecting us. Like I will Em and Jas."

"Jas?" Nora asked as she moved as far from the door, as she could without getting any closer to Emerald or the infant. "Is that her name? Jas?"

"Jasmine Esmeralda Arc." Emerald informed the group. "She's named after our mothers."

Jasmine started to fuss more.

"Is she..."

"She's hungry." Emerald answered as she adjusted how she was holding Jasmine while lifting the left side of her shirt to feed her bundle of joy.

"I'm sorry it came to this." Jaune commented as he moved himself to be standing between Emerald and the now sitting Nora and Ren, his pistol still trained on Ren. "I never wanted to hurt you, either of you. You mean too much to me, but..."

"Jasmine and Emerald mean more." Nora finished his statement. "I can understand that."

"Are you truly happy Jaune?" Ren asked, keeping his hands flat on his lap, in clear view. "I mean really happy?"

"I am." Jaune replied. "I... we made our mistakes, but Jas is the best of both of us, and she deserves a future."

"A future you're willing to kill to protect?" Ren asked.

"You need to understand, Ren. I don't want to, but I will. To protect Em and Jas, I will put down anyone that comes after us."

"What are you going to do now?" Nora asked, trying to lean just enough to see Emerald and her baby.

"Same as we always do when you two or Cinder and Pyrrha get too close. We'll leave, and find somewhere new."

"That's not much of a life." Ren commented. "Always on the run. Is that fair to Jasmine? To Emerald? To you?"

"If I could change it. If I could fix it, I would... but there's fat chance of that happening, isn't there."

"Can I... can I hold her?" Nora tentatively asked. "I won't do anything, I swear, I just... I just feel this need..."

"I don't..."

"It's okay Jaune." Emerald cut him off. "I trust her enough not to hurt Jas. She's not the type."

Emerald stood, up after burping Jasmine, and slowly approached, keeping out of Jaune's line of fire. She loved him, wholly, and she understood is consuming drive and need to keep her and their daughter safe. She had the same compulsion.

"Watch her head." Emerald softly instructed Nora as she lay the precious bundle of joy. Jaune and her little miracle into Nora's arms.

"She's so small." Nora whispered, a sad smile on her face. "She's so small."

"Jaune, put it away." Emerald smiled at him as she crouched next to Nora who was completely enamored with little Jasmine.

Jaune hesitated for a fraction of a moment and then reached up and pushed the pistol back up into his sleeve. Ren heard the click of the mechanism resetting.

"Ren," Nora softly spoke. "We can't keep chasing them. We need to help them."

"Nora?"

"She's so small, and innocent. She shouldn't have to suffer for Jaune and Emerald's mistakes." Nora commented her eyes never leaving the beautiful if but slightly chubby face. "This is a fresh start for them... and us."

"Us?" Ren asked.

"I hate what Pyrrha did. How she used us all. How she broke our trust... but I want to help protect this little one. I want to do that more than chasing Jaune or Emerald." Nora made a kissy face as Emerald smiled. "Everything we're doing is about the future right? Protecting it?"

"I guess." Ren responded.

"Then let's help them. Let's let this little one have the family the Grimm robbed us of..." Nora's eyes started to tear up, emotions she thought long gone washing over her.

"It's okay, Nora." Emerald comforted her one time enemy. "It's okay."

"There might be a way." Ren sighed as he spoke. "Because to be honest I'm tired of chasing you Jaune."

"If it's any consolation, we're tired of being chased by you." Jaune gave his former teammate a soft smile.

"Would you stay in Vale, if we could get you in without anyone knowing? If we could help you get settled? Would you stay?"

Jaune looked to Emerald who was still hovering over Nora, rubbing her back in gentle circles as Nora tried to get control of her emotions. Emerald gave Jaune a smile and a nod.

"I would, if we can be safe. Unmolested?"

"Only Nora and I would know. Not even Ozpin will be any the wiser."

"Tell me why?" Jaune point blank asked.

"I want my family back together, despite the mistakes we've all made." Ren replied. "You're our family Jaune, and we miss you."

"I miss you as well." Jaune responded.

"So, can you really help us? Keep us secret and safe?" Emerald asked as Nora, at Emerald's urging, transferred Jasmine back into her arms.

"We can." Ren replied.

"No," Nora spoke her voice breaking slightly. "We will."

Jaune swallowed hard, and moved forward, his arms spread accepting Nora and Ren into a hug that had been forever in the making. A familial embrace they had all missed.

[aspennntree]

listen listen i need to say this to you because it’s about ozpin but

in volume 3 when he’s trying to transfer the maiden power to pyrrha he says he needs to hear her say yes and gives her a chance to back out (not a real chance, really. but a chance)

and in the lore dump episode we see that the god of light just. immediately accepted that ozma said ok and didn’t even like. have a chance to think about it

there’s something about those two events i’m drawing a line between…… homeboy is Trying to be better and Failing So Bad but he is Trying

HES TRYING TO MAKE SURE NOBODY IS IN THE SAME SITUATION…AUGH,,,he’s trying so hard

because nobody should have to go through something like that without considering it and having a chance to back out, because he didn’t really have a proper choice

BUT HE CANT GIVE EVERYONE A CHOICE BECAUSE OSCAR WAS THROWN INTO THIS WITH NO AGENCY WHATSOEVER AND AUGH IM DYING MY POOR BOY(s)

Return of the Traitor

Jaune stood in front of the Xiao-Long house where he waited for the two to come out, a few feet behind him were Nora and Ren, both with their bags packed and ready to go.

Finally coming out of the house were Ruby and Yang, Yang looked a lot worse for ware, not that Jaune could blame her.

"Jaune?" Ruby asked with a raised brow, "What are you doing here?" She asked.

Jaune let out a sigh, "We're leaving for Shade Academy, Ruby," Jaune told her.

Ruby's eyes widened with shock, "What!?" she cried, "Does Pyrrha know?"

Jaune shook his head, "No, and... we're leaving it like that," Jaune said.

Ruby was confused, "But-"

"Ruby," Jaune cut her off, "She's made it clear that whatever it is she's doing with your uncle and Ms. Goodwitch, it's more important than us," He said.

"You can't believe that," Ruby said, "Pyrrha... she... Jaune she loves you," Ruby said.

Jaune looked to the ground, he could feel the tears forming in his eyes, however, he tried not to cry and pushed the mess of emotions he was feeling to the back of his mind. "I know... but with what's happened and everything that's going on, we've been worried about her, Oum sakes she almost died, and yet ever call, every text... she doesn't answer, not Nora, not Ren, not me... so to us, as much as we hate to say this, she's made her choice," Jaune said sadly.

Ruby couldn't help but look upset, she wanted Jaune, Nora, and Ren to stay, to keep trying to get ahold of Pyrrha, but even if she tried, she felt that it wasn't going to help, she felt that everything around her was not how it was before. However, she had to be strong right now, she needed to be strong because she felt that if she faltered even once, she'd break. "So... this is goodbye?" Ruby said.

Jaune smiled sadly, "For now," He said, as he looked at Ruby, "But think of this more as a 'See you later' CraterFace,"

Ruby smiled sadly as she looked at her fellow team leader, "Yeah... see you later, VomitBoy," Ruby said.

the two hugged each other tightly for a minute before breaking apart and Jaune walked away, turning back to face his team and Ruby watched as he left.

As Ruby watched the blonde leave, she couldn't help but feel this would be the last time she would see him as she still remembered him...

"Ruby...?" came the voice of Nora.

Ruby was taken out of the memory as she looked at Nora with a dumbfounded face. "I...I don't believe it," She said.

Velvet sighed, knowing this was tough to hear for Ruby and the others. "I'm afraid it's all true," She told them, "Jaune... he's turned his back on us and... he killed Coco," Velvet said.

Pyrrha was aghast as she sat down to take a few breaths, unable to believe that the man she had loved, had done such a terrible deed. Weiss too was in shock and she looked down, unable to come to terms with the man whom she'd come to forgive for his persistent courting, who had done something as terrible as turn his back on his team and even kill a friend.

Yang was furious, knowing that someone she had once seen as a good person and deemed a rather good friend, had betrayed them all, Blake herself felt a bit of conflict, wondering how someone like Jaune, who she remembered being just as brave and optimistic as Ruby had taken such as dark path.

"It's my fault," Ren said, being able to read their emotions.

Yang looked at him with a glare, "Don't say that! The only person to blame here is Jaune!" she growled.

Ren shook his head, "No, I'm to blame for some of what made Jaune turn his back," Ren said. "I... I turned my back on him, I blamed him for the team's failures, for the deaths, I put all that on him, and I didn't even think he was already blaming himself," Ren said sadly.

"We're all to blame for Jaune turning his back on us," Nora said. "I should've been there too, I should've put an end to all tension between the three of us," Nora finished.

Pyrrha let out a long sigh, her face covered in sadness, "I never should've left," She said.

Nora nodded with a bit of a glare, "Yeah, maybe think about others before yourself,"

Ren looked at her, "Nora-"

Weiss glared at Nora with a raised brow, "What is that supposed to mean?" She asked.

"It means that maybe instead of running off with Ruby's uncle, ignoring our calls and texts, and following some sort of "destiny" she set out for herself, running off you all playing fucking hero, our team wouldn't be like this! I wouldn't have to be the only one trying to hold the team together! Ren wouldn't have given up so easily! Jaune would still be around!" Nora cried.

"Nora, that's enough!" Ren pleaded, not wanting the situation to escalate.

Nora nodded, "You know what Ren, it is enough!" Nora cried, "I'm sick and tired of you all acting like your the fucking heroes of some story, like just because Pyrrha got some magic powers now, or the fact that our headmaster is now in some kid's head, you think you all are some fucking heroes in a fairy tale!"

"Last time I checked, we saved Atlas-"

Nora rolled her eyes and chuckled, "Right, you fucking saved it! Then why are the people of Atlas and Mantle here? Where's the Military? Where's Ironwood? Oh, that's right, they're all gone! All of it's at the bottom of the fucking ocean!" Nora cried, "So good work "heroes"!"

Yang charged at Nora and Nora was quick to charge at Yang too, but Blake, Ruby, and Ren got in the middle of them.

"That's enough!" Ruby cried, "There's no time for this!"

Blake nodded, "Ruby's right, what we need to do is start preparing for Salem's arrival," Blake said.

"We may not just have to prepare for Salem and the Grimm," Rumpole said. "If Salem is looking for allies, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that she or those that follow her, will try to find those that will join her cause, and right now, that would most likely be the crown,"

"Are they really that powerful?" Weiss asked.

"Most of southern Vacuo has joined them because the Crown provides protection, however, from what I hear, the crown is somewhat split," Sun said.

Ruby looked at him, "What do you mean?" She asked.

"Some are following the original leader of the group, Jax Asturias, who claims to be the rightful king of Vacuo, however, some have seen past Jax's false bravado and claim and instead have been trying to name Jaune their king, even calling him "The should-be King" of Vacuo,"

"So there's a possible civil war going on from the inside," Weiss said, "This could work to our advantage,"

"Maybe, but it doesn't matter, because if Jax kills Jaune and keeps leadership over the crown, he sides with Salem, and if Jaune takes control, he may side with Salem as well,"

Sage shook his head, "I don't think he will," Sage said, "Look, he may not be the same person who all knew him as, but from what I saw when I was his prisoner, he cared for the people around him, he cared for the villages they occupied, he still cares about people,"

"He killed Coco," Velvet said with a glare, "He doesn't care about us," she said.

Sage nodded, "Ok, yes, he cares little for us, but even then, I doubt he's going to side with some immortal Queen of Grimm bent on humanities destruction," Sage finished, "We don't have to forgive him, and I doubt you could, but perhaps, for now, we ask for his help," Sage said.

Yang glared, "And then what, we shake hands and go our separate ways?" She asked, "I don't care if he helps us in the end, he's going to pay for everything he's done,"

Velvet nodded in agreement, "I'm with Yang, he's not getting off scot-free after what he did,"

Sage shook his head, "No, I'm not asking you to do that, but-"

However, before any more could be said, Neptune burst into the meeting room and looked at them all with a shocked face, "Come out all of you! Quickly!" He cried.

Rumpole looked at him, "What is it!?" She cried.

Neptune looked at her, "It's Jaune!" He cried. "He showed up at the City gates on a camel! He's being taken to the infirmary!"

Nora looked worried, "Why!?" She asked as she followed Neptune outside.

"He's got three arrows in his back and he's out cold!" Neptune cried.

Rumpole looked at Ren, "Get Headmaster Theodore here! He needs to be informed about this quickly!" She said.

Ren nodded and ran for his office while the others all raced over to the infirmary where they hoped to see what state Jaune was in and hopefully, get answers from him about all that he's done...

Dig if you will this scene: here.

I know there's no one-to-one connections, but which RWBoys would best fit the scene?

Persemblance 4 Gilded: Ski Trip Gone Wrong

The sun is going to set soon... Should you ask somebody to accompany you down the slope?

=================

-Ask Yang -Ask Blake -Ask Pyrrha -Ask Emerald ->Ask the guys

=================

You decided to ask Neptune, Cardin, and Somewhat to ski with you...

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

You and the guys enjoyed your time together on the mountain...

Neptune: Considering we've been hitting the slopes for about two days straight, I think I've gotten a lot better. (Sighs) But, of course, just when I get the hand of things is the moment we have to leave. Happens every time...

Somewhat: Oh, what should I do...? I'm going to be head-hunted by the pros... I already have an exclusive contract with Coal & Sons!

Neptune: Dude, there are no competitions where you slide downhill on your stomach.

Somewhat: Snow is so weird... I've never seen it before. How does this stuff get in the sky in the first place?

Neptune: It's the same as rain, except when it's too cold, if just freezes and falls as snow.

Somewhat: Wouldn't that make it, like, little lumpy ice balls that bonk you on the head and stuff? Ouch!

Neptune: Why are you being so nitpicky?

Cardin: It is kinda mysterious, though. How these little, white water flowers just tumble delicately from the sky... When you look up, you don't usually notice it, but I can understand how deep the sky is... I feel like I'm falling in...

Neptune: Wow... I always had you pegged as one of those "warrior poet" types, but I didn't see that coming.

Somewhat: Cardin has the heart of a dreamy, little girl~.

Cardin: Shut the hell up! You started this stupid conversation in the first place!

Somewhat: I just asked where snow comes from. I didn't start writing "dairy" tales about white flowers and falling into the sky and stuff.

Cardin: Y-You pickin' a fight with me, Rat?!

Neptune: Look, it's going to get dark soon, so we should start heading back. I think today's dinner will have some actual meat tonight, and if we don't get there on time, that carnivore, Yang, is gonna get it all.

Cardin: Considerin' how active we've been today, it'll really suck if we don't get some dinner tonight. So, which way do we get back to the lodge?

Neptune: I... wasn't really paying attention... I wasn't expecting it to start snowing this much, and I thought we'd be able to see it from up here.

Cardin: How 'bout you, Arc? Do you remember the way?

=================

-"It should be right..." ->"I think it's left..."

=================

Neptune: Dude, are you sure? This might be a ski area, but one wrong turn and we'll end up in the mountains!

Somewhat: ...A-At least if worse comes to worst, I can just go into hi-brie-nation! I read about that in a book!

Neptune: That's totally wrong! You do that, and you'll wake up on the other side!

Cardin: In any case, let's get goin'. We can't dally around with it snowing this much already.

Neptune: You're right. Alright then, let's get going!

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

The snow is rapidly decreasing any visibility... You decide to somehow make your way to the lodge...

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

You've walked quite a bit, but the lodge is still nowhere to be seen... The snow seems to be coming down even harder now...

Neptune: Are you guys okay?! You guys are still here, right?!

Cardin: You two, me, and... Hey, where's Somewhat?!

Somewhat: (Trudging up. Covered in snow) Over here... And no jokes like "Ack! A talking snowman!" right now, please...

Neptune: This isn't good! We're c-completely lost a-and it's so cold, I feel like I'm g-g-gonna die!

Cardin: Don't give up so easy! Show some guts, dammit!

Somewhat: I remember reading that people who give up first are the first to die... Actually, Sir...? I think I'm all out of aura...

=================

->"Don't fall asleep, no matter what!" -"We should keep walking." -"Let's dig a snow hut."

=================

Somewhat: (Snores)

Neptune: H-He just said not to fall asleep! Quick screwing around, or else you'll die! For real this time!

Cardin: ...Hey! Doesn't that look like a cottage?

Neptune: Great, and now you're h-hallucinating... Y-You start dreaming on your f-feet and you'll be the next to d-die!

Cardin: I'm not dreaming, asshole! Open your frickin' eyes and look!

Somewhat: Whuh... EEK~! It really is a "snowy mountain cottage"! Suddenly, in the dead of night, the phone line gets cut and, one by one, the inhabitants are picked off and die by the fireplace poker...

Neptune: That'll be the least of our worries... Look, we can't stay out in the snow like this. Let's get over there, quickly!

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

Neptune: H-Hey! Excuse me! Is anyone here?!

There is no answer from inside...

Neptune: ...Wait, huh? (Walks inside with guys)

The door was unlocked, but there's no one inside...

Somewhat: I can't see anything.

Cardin: Wonder why it was open...

Neptune: I dunno, but it's better than freezing to death! Let's just consider ourselves lucky, okay? Anybody know the lodge's phone number? We can call them up and have them send some rescue services or something...

You shake your head with Somewhat.

Neptune: Seriously? Don't tell me... no one knows what it is?

Cardin: I don't have my scroll with me!

Somewhat: Me neither.

Neptune: Really?! Come ON, man! That's why scrolls were invented! You're SUPPOSED to keep it around!

Cardin: Who the hell would I call?! We were all hangin' around together! If you'd told me we were gonna get lost, then I'd have remembered to BRING IT!

Somewhat: I'm all naked in here! You should've told me this was gonna happen!

Neptune: How was I supposed to know?! If I'd known this was gonna happen, then we wouldn't have gotten lost! (Groans) Fine, I'll give Yang a call. (Opens scroll, Stuffs it)

Somewhat: C'mon, Neptune! Quit stalling! Hurry up and call Miss Yang!

Neptune: ...the battery's dead.

Cardin: AFTER ALL THE SHIT YOU GAVE US FOR BEING UNPREPARED, NOW THIS?!

Neptune: It's an old scroll, so it runs out, okay?! I can't afford a new one because I was saving up for a motorcycle! I never would've imagined something like this would happen!

Neptune: C'mon, Jaune! You're our only hope!

Cardin: Arc! You're our hero, ain't'cha?!

Somewhat: You always save us, Sir! I've always believed in you!

They're staring at you with such great hope in their eyes...! The screen reads "No service"... It seems there is no signal here...

Neptune: Welp, that settles it. We're dead.

Somewhat: I-I-I'm s-s-so c-c-c-freezing~!

Cardin: Even with all that fur?

Neptune: Who knows when this blizzard is going to let up... We're screwed if we have to spend the night here. Oh, well... There's a hearth right here, so let's start a fire in that. But how are we going to do that? I don't have a lighter or anything...

Cardin: Let's look around. They wouldn't put a firepit here if there wasn't stuff to use in it.

You find old newspapers and some matches... After some effort, you manage to get a fire going...

Neptune: Man... It looks like we're gonna survive this after all...

Cardin: I wonder where we are... Even if we do get in touch with the others, are they gonna be able to find us?

Somewhat: I bet we'll freeze here... Come tomorrow morning, we'll all be blocks of ice!

=================

->"Don't give up!" -"We'll manage..." -"Shut up, I'm cold, too."

=================

Somewhat: Sir... Your courage's paw-inspiring! I already feel a little warmer just basking in the glow of your awesomeness!

Neptune: But man, this little fire's too small to warm up the four of us...

Cardin: So let's light a fire on part of the floor, too. There's plenty of wood around.

Neptune: That's called arson! We'll just end up burning to death instead of freezing to death!

Cardin: Sheesh, all you do is complain... I don't see you coming up with any ideas! If we can't start a fire, then we just have to wear more stuff! Is there another coat around here?

Neptune: Oh, yeah, sure! Like there's a big fuzzy... thick... warm... coat...

Somewhat: ...Wh-Why are you looking at me?!

Neptune: Maybe... If we pass him around...

Somewhat: B-But I'm like a little boy! If all of you start grabbing for me, my innocence will be destroyed~!

Cardin: WILL YOU KNOCK IT OFF WITH THAT CRAP?!

BZZZT!

Neptune: ...That thing turned on just now, right? It wasn't just me?

=================

-"I'll go take a look." ->"Let's check it out."

=================

Neptune: R-Right! But why...?

Cardin: I'm comin', too, Arc!

Somewhat: Me three! This smells fishy~!

Neptune: H-Hey, wait up!

Neptune: (Runs up to look, Thud!) Whoa! Dude! Stop! What the hell are you doing?! Quit screwing around!

Cardin: But we have to find out. Right, Arc?

Somewhat: No! S-Sir! Stop it! You'll fall inside!

Yang: (Kicks down the door) H-H-H-H-HEY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING IN HERE?!

Pyrrha: JAUNE, NO, DON'T LEAVE ME~!

Pyrrha: (Blake and Emerald run in) Oh... They're still dressed...

Neptune: What are you doing here?! And, wait, what was that about our clothes?

Blake: Wait, why would they be taking off their clothes?

Emerald: (Groans) Do I really have to explain it?

Somewhat: Did you girls come to rescue us? I can't believe you came so far into the mountains to save me~!

Blake: What are you talking about? This little hut is right behind the lodge we're staying in.

Emerald: It looks like a storage shed. They don't lock it because the workers come here at all times during the day.

Yang: Anyway... What were the four of you doing, shoving each other around in here?

Cardin: Uh... We were checkin' the TV...

Emerald: Why? What's the matter with it?

Pyrrha: Oh! Is this one of those male-bonding exercises I've heard about? Should we come back later?

Neptune: What...? N-No! No! You're totally wrong!

The girls' stares are painful... You desperately explain what happened just now...

Yang: Okay, so you got lost, stumbled into this conveniently placed cottage, and needed to warm each other up...

Neptune: NO, DAMMIT! WEREN'T YOU LISTENING?!

Cardin: The TV just turned itself on! It makes no sense! Hasn't the case been over for months now?

Yang: So? Maybe the wiring's bad, or something. Or you saw some light reflected in it...

Somewhat: (Sniffling) This mouse-understanding is so heart-breaking... I feel so dirty... My reputation as a hero has been sullied...

Emerald: It looks like the TV isn't even plugged in... If what you all are saying is true, then we might have to reopen the investigation.

Neptune: That's what we've been saying from the start!

Yang: This TV, huh? Then let's take a closer look, shall we?

Neptune: H-Hey... Wait a minute...

[darksaiyangoku]

RWBY: Patience

Jaune laid on his bed after rough day of training. Ozpin took control of Oscar today and ramped his and Noctis's training tenfold. Even with his fast healing, he still felt sore. Sitting next to him was Yang, staring at him quizzically.

Yang: Jaune? You okay?

Jaune: Huh? O-Oh yeah, I-I'm fine. *sits up* W-Why? What's up?

Yang: ...that's what I was gonna ask you. You invited me to your room and didn't say a word to me since.

Jaune: Oh. Um, well, I... I kinda wanted to talk about what we're dealing with.

Yang: The Haven situation?

Jaune: Not just that. It's everything. I mean, just last year, the only thing we had to worry about were Team CRDL being a bunch of jerks. Now we find out there are gods, girls who can do magic, these relic things and a witch to top it all off. *deep sigh* I'm starting to think we're in way over our heads.

Jaune felt an oddly warm touch of metal and looked down to see Yang holding his hand. He looked back up and saw her frowning. Her lilac eyes looked dull, as if all the joy had left her.

Yang: To tell you the truth, I think so too. All I really wanted to do was get Ruby back. But now we're dragged back into this mess and it's not gonna get any easier.

Jaune: Well... what's stopping us from walking away from this? We don't have to do this, you know? We could all just start fresh. Let Ozpin deal with this himself.

Yang shook her head. She couldn't believe how selfish he was sounding right now.

Yang: Jaune, listen to me, *turns to face him* if we really could walk away from this, don't you think we would've done it already? This isn't exactly how I imagined ending up. But if we're not gonna stand up to Salem, who else is there?

Jaune: There has to be some other huntsmen and huntresses more capable than us, though. Why would Ozpin put his faith in a bunch of kids?

Yang: Because we've faced these dangers and we know it better than they do. Think about what we've lost. Vale, Lucis, Beacon. It's all gone now. *clenches fist* If we don't join him, all of Remnant is gonna end up just like them or worse... and that's not a world I want to live in.

Jaune stared into Yang's eyes and turned himself to her. A newfound fire was burning in his heart.

Jaune: I don't wanna live in that world either. I'm just scared.

Yang: So am I. *smiles* But we're not facing this alone. Haven won't fall like Beacon did.

Jaune and Yang continued staring into each other's eyes. They leaned in closer and Yang closed hers. Jaune was about to do the same, but hesitated and dragged himself back. Yang momentarily opened her eyes and gasped faintly. What were they doing?

Yang; Oh no. J-Jaune, I'm so sorry-

Jaune: N-No, that was my fault. I shouldn't have-

Yang: No don't say that I- I should probably go.

Jaune: Yang, wait!

Yang shook her head and reached for the door, frantically leaving the room. Jaune's arm was still outreached. Clenching his fist, he growled quietly. What was he thinking? He didn't mean to scare her like that. His chest was aching at the thought that Yang would hate him. Tears fell from his eyes as he sank to the floor. He didn't want to face it, but the truth was that he started to fall for her. It had been a month since they arrived in Mistral and he and Yang had been through so much together. He wanted to be with her so much. But in the back of his mind, he thought of Pyrrha and the pain that casued him was unbearable. It was tearing him apart.

Jaune: 🎶Just have a little patience.

Still hurting from a love I lost

I'm feeling your frustration

But any minute all the pain will stop🎶

Outside the door, Yang was sitting down, crying to herself.

Yang: 🎶Just hold me close inside your arms tonight

Don't be too hard on my emotions🎶

Jaune/Yang: 🎶'Cause I need time

My heart is numb, has no feeling

So while I'm still healing

Just try and have a little patience🎶

Yang: 🎶I really wanna start over again

I know you wanna be my salvation

The one that I can always depend🎶

Jaune: *pounds ground with his fist* 🎶I'll try to be strong, believe me

I'm trying to move on

It's complicated but understand me🎶

Jaune/Yang: 🎶'Cause I need time

My heart is numb, has no feeling

So while I'm still healing

Just try and have a little patience, yeah🎶

Jaune: 🎶Have a little patience, yeah🎶

Yang: 🎶'Cause these scars run so deep🎶

Jaune/Yang: 🎶It's been hard

But I have to believe

Have a little patience

Have a little patience🎶

Jaune/Yang: 🎶Woah, 'cause I, I just need time

My heart is numb, has no feeling

So while I'm still healing

Just try, and have a little patience

Have a little patience

My heart is numb, has no feeling

So while I'm still healing

Just try and have a little patience🎶

The two of them breathed in deep and stared at the door between them.

Jaune: Yang...

Yang: Jaune...

Jaune/Yang: I'll wait for you.

I mean, at a certain point, how much is it worth arguing Oz is a bad character versus the writers are just….not good at their jobs? Or even a mix as Oz is a ploy device? He’s as smart or as incompetent as the plot needs him to be? Like with the cane nuke, I don’t think that was what it was, but the writers needed an out cause of the fucking Grimm whale. So cane nuke. Or something like that

Oh, the writers are absolutely shit, but the entirety of Oz's character comes from them; it's not like he's a separate, self-aware entity. The problem is that because of the way the writers have developed him, every season he gets more reprehensible.

He started off as just a sus incompetent headmaster which is fine. But then they had him intentionally send first year students on an incredibly dangerous and critical mission to Mountain Glenn, and refuse to secure the Vytal Festival despite knowing that Salem's agents were fucking around, and keep super important information from everyone which leaves them unable to respond to Salem, and pressure Pyrrha into doing the transfer with zero support or enough information to make an informed decision, and not fight to protect Beacon. Now he's a total bastard, too. Still fine, he's just a villain now, but cool, whatevs.

But then they make him immortal, which means all that stuff he sent people to do while he sat in his office suddenly becomes so much worse. And then they reveal he's been manipulating society for millennia, and was responsible for abolishing the militaries, which leaves everyone terribly vulnerable and entirely at his mercy to send hunters (either himself or through the other headmasters) to help. Except he also made hunters have no oversight so they can do whatever the fuck they want. Which, by the way, are all current or former child soldiers that usually get drawn into this no later than age 13.

And then we find out that he's been hiding relics that would be suuuuper useful in protecting the world, and used one of them to physically manifest Atlas' class divide instead of something helpful. And that he's on a mission from the bastards that already destroyed humanity once to bring them back under said bastards' sway, and they'll destroy everything again if they don't like the result. But he could prevent this by simply getting rid of at least one relic… except he doesn't, with no indication that it's impossible, so now he's intentionally holding a sword of Damocles over the world.

And then, we find out that the war he's been throwing a bunch of young people into a meat grinder for is pointless, because he has no plan to win, and he doesn't even tell them that so they think they're making sacrifices for the good of the world but really it's only for his chance at getting out of the deal he made with GoL. And that he didn't even tell the few people he has in his circle this, because heaven forbid someone else have an idea to actually win; no, more important for Oz to keep his secrets and maintain his influence.

And only then do we come to the cane nuke, which — by introducing it and having him use it on different power settings to save himself twice, and having it only hurt the people/things he wants to get— means that he knowingly and intentionally chose to not use it at Beacon or Haven, where he could have effortlessly stopped Salem's plan in its tracks and (in the case of Beacon) saved countless lives. Because it was more important to hoard his consumable item, except oh wait, when he needs to use it for himself he's all too happy to use it. Which, combined with respawning much quicker than usual and body snatching Oscar, suggests that he must've known he was going to come back fast — at least in time to continue his shadow war against Salem before she won — so it was okay to let himself die at Beacon because hey, nbd, he's the only one that matters and he'll come back, so fuck everyone else

Do I think that all these things are intentional on the writers' part? Or that they even realise the implications of them all? Hell fucking no, they're putting their clown shoes on in the middle of their show. But unlike other characters that have been fucked over by this kind of thing — Ironwood, Pyrrha, Penny, Adam, etc. — Oz has consistently been doing this shit that's both evil and boneheaded since episode 1, where he sees a girl with silver eyes and goes "y'know what, fuck her youth and being ready, fuck that I already got her mother killed and destroyed her family, I want anti-Grimm floodlights that I can direct at my will". And every. Single. Season. We get some new bullshit to add on that makes him that much worse.

So yeah

Jaune and Pyrrha's Big Christmas

Author's Note: It's kinda seasonal, posting this in December. It was probably more seasonal when I originally posted this on Christmas Eve of 2019 (less so when I wrote it in, like, the middle of 2019, but whatevs). Still, hope it gets you in the Christmassy mood to eat a very fun amount of food, or to enjoy other people eating that much.

Jaune Arc was spending his Christmas evening tied to a chair in his team’s dorm and he was loving every second. The gift-wrapping ribbons certainly weren’t strong enough to hold him if he really tried to break out, but he was happy to stay restrained. That was all thanks to two things currently sitting on his lap, his wonderful and well-fed girlfriend Pyrrha, and a belly that was heading towards its full capacity to match and surpass, Pyrrha’s. Jaune had already had a hearty Christmas meal fed to him by Pyrrha, and the ribbon over his eyes meant that he could only smell the incredibly sweet chocolate cheesecake that Pyrrha was holding, ready to shovel forkfuls of it into his awaiting mouth.

“Open up, dearest, before I eat it myself,” Pyrrha said in a singsong sort of voice. Jaune’s jaw dropped and his tongue lolled out. Pyrrha took the opening and slipped a decent chunk of cheesecake into Jaune’s mouth, which he immediately began to chew and swallow. “Good boy,” Pyrrha cooed, “you’ve been eating very well today.” Jaune swallowed and took in some shallow breaths, trying not to make his sore stomach worse.

“I didn’t know stomachs could do this,” Jaune said weakly, leaving his mouth open at the end for more cake that Pyrrha was more than happy to deliver. Pyrrha spared a hand to rub Jaune’s taut and bloated belly, bare after Pyrrha took his shirt off before tying him to the chair.

“It’s just a shame we can’t do this more often,” Pyrrha added wistfully as Jaune dealt with the cake she was steadily feeding him.

“It’d be kinda hard to do huntsman stuff if we did this too often. We’d outweigh most of the Grimm we’re fighting.”

“You say that like it’s a bad thing,” Pyrrha interrupted, putting more cheesecake into Jaune’s mouth when the opportunity arose. “You would become so big and strong and handsome…” Pyrrha’s mind drifted away into thoughts of a future Jaune, ruggedly handsome and larger than the defeated Ursa laying behind him as he was wiping the sweat from his brow. Dream Jaune’s mouth opened to speak, but it all came out muffled. Dream Jaune’s mouth opened again, the muffled words becoming more panicked and urgent, shaking Pyrrha out of her dream and opening her eyes to reality again. She saw Jaune’s mouth totally full of food and her hand almost trying to put more in. “Oh, sorry,” Pyrrha said quickly, bringing her hands as far away from Jaune as possible as he worked on chewing and swallowing. After a minute or so, Jaune’s mouth was empty and he was catching his breath.

“Jeez, Pyrrha, I think you got a little carried away there,” Jaune joked with a little smile. Pyrrha let out an audible sigh of relief as she saw that smile on his face, knowing that Jaune didn’t mind too much.

“Sorry, I started daydreaming and I may have gotten a little… excited,” Pyrrha explained, her blush growing stronger by the word.

“That would explain why my lap’s feeling a little damp,” Jaune replied, making Pyrrha shoot from her seat and look down. Sure enough, there was a wet patch right where Pyrrha was sitting, noticed just in time for Pyrrha to also notice that her panties and inner thighs were soaking wet and her core felt incredibly hot.

“I have an idea,” Pyrrha said quickly, her excitement taking over. She quickly dealt with all the ribbons except the one over Jaune’s eyes. Jaune only had time to make a confused noise before he was gently lifted and carefully placed onto a bed.

“I think I know where this is going,” Jaune said in a low voice. He let out a gasp as Pyrrha undid his belt and jeans, then a gentle moan as she removed them and his underwear, leaving him nude beside his blindfold ribbon and freeing his throbbing member, long, hard and looking like it was ready to blow at any moment. Pyrrha then slipped out of everything below her waist, leaving her in just her currently ill-fitting corset. Jaune knew what was about to happen, but that didn’t stop the feeling of Pyrrha’s hot core on his cock from making him gasp in sudden surprise, nor could Pyrrha keep from gasping as Jaune’s radiating cock filled her core.

“Oh Jaune,” Pyrrha moaned, “I think you’re filling me up as I filled your belly.” Pyrrha’s hands began to rub Jaune’s ball-like belly as Pyrrha slowly pumped up and down on Jaune’s cock, cradling her belly as she went. Jaune found his hips moving on their own or at least trying to, in spite of the extra weight that Jaune’s stuffed belly held. Pyrrha stopped and held Jaune down. “No no, dear, I’m doing everything tonight. I want you to just lie back and relax,” Pyrrha ordered in a sweet, kind voice. As Jaune settled down, Pyrrha took a moment to admire her nude boyfriend. Sure, there were times where Pyrrha found Jaune’s athletic, almost muscular, figure attractive, but she much preferred it with this nice, full, round belly adorning it. As far as she could tell, the feeling was definitely mutual, as she could tell from the lustful gaze Jaune had when he looked at her belly. And as much as she would dream about it, she knew that she probably wasn’t going to fatten herself or Jaune up any time soon. Perhaps it could happen when they retired from active Huntsman work, maybe once it was time for them to settle down, raise a family and find a less active line of work. As much as Pyrrha enjoyed that train of thought, she did eventually remember that she was in the middle of riding her bloated boyfriend, and she very much wanted to keep going. She went back to pumping Jaune’s cock with her pussy while she rubbed Jaune’s belly. Jaune’s belly was solid as a rock, packed all full of food, and probably causing at least half of Jaune’s moans and groans, much like Pyrrha’s own smaller belly was making her groan. Before long, Pyrrha’s own moans mixed in with Jaune’s, creating a chorus of pleasure as the couple found themselves inching closer and closer to some well-needed orgasms. Seeing Jaune so big really riled Pyrrha up, and having Pyrrha be in such complete control over him, as well as their very stuffed bellies that occasionally bumped into each other as Pyrrha rode him, had Jaune very excited.

“P-Pyrrha! I think I’m gonna come!” Jaune cried out.

“Do it!” Pyrrha moaned in ecstatic pleasure. “Come inside me! You deserve it!” She wasn’t far off either, and it was obvious from her voice and her face, completely devoid of even a hint of the polite mask she put up in public. Then, in one sudden moment, Jaune came, his twitching cock pumping cum into Pyrrha’s core. Jaune’s throbbing cock then set Pyrrha off on her own orgasm, her walls pulsing around Jaune’s cock and heightening both of their orgasms as Pyrrha milked Jaune’s cock dry and Jaune hit all of Pyrrha’s sensitive spots. Soon, the couple became a panting, sweaty mess. Jaune’s breaths were shallow, hoping to avoid angering his stuffed belly. Pyrrha’s were long and deep, making her bosom heave and making her undo her corset, before tossing it aside, leaving her in nothing but her lacy crimson bra as she flopped down on the bed next to Jaune, panting along with him.

“Wow. Best. Christmas. Ever,” Jaune panted, a massive smile plastered on his face. Pyrrha smiled too, hers smaller, but just as happy as Jaune’s.

“I am so very glad you enjoyed it as much as I did,” Pyrrha replied quietly as she gently rubbed her belly against Jaune’s, “and I hope we can keep doing it.”

“Me too,” Jaune said, nodding eagerly, “it feels like it’s getting better each time.”

“Well, they do say that bigger is better, and we are making our bellies bigger each time,” Pyrrha said, trying not to giggle at her own joke. Jaune let out his own short laugh.

“Yeah, I guess you’re right,” Jaune said, giving his belly a good pat, both of them savouring the sound of Jaune’s hand hitting his stuffed belly.

“Mmm, that has to be one of my favourite sounds,” Pyrrha purred.

“I thought your favourite was me asking for more food,” Jaune asked.

“Dear, you make too many wonderful sounds for me to pick a favourite,” Pyrrha said sweetly.

“And they all just happen to involve me and you stuffing me with food,” Jaune added, fighting off a yawn. “Oof, not sure if that’s a food coma coming on or if I’m just tired from sex.” Pyrrha slowly hauled herself and her heavy belly up and pulled the sheets and duvet over Jaune, before turning off the lights and slipping beneath the sheets to join him.

“Either way, I think this is a wonderful opportunity for some rest. You have a lot of food to digest, after all,” Pyrrha said, her own yawn sneaking through. Jaune lent in and placed a soft kiss on Pyrrha’s lips.

“I love you, Pyrrha,” Jaune whispered, “and Merry Christmas.” Pyrrha leant in and gave Jaune her own gentle kiss, leaning around their bloated bellies.

“I love you too, dearest.”

Ah, but consider - we specifically get confirmation that non-human/Faunus life do have Auras. Pyrrha says that "With practice, our Aura can be our shield. Everyone has it, even animals", and from the fact that Zwei can be set on fire and used as a projectile weapon, I'd say it's as canon as anything in the show. But that raises the question, would it make sense for every animal in Remnant to have the same kind of Aura defenses we see on Huntsmen and Zwei?

No, it wouldn't, becauses there's no way humanity would have managed to hunt and gather for food with enough consistency to survive if they're having to first break the Aura of every cow or fish they want to eat (though Remnant: Deadliest Catch sounds like an awesome shark week show). So it would make more sense if, like the great Aura retcon debates and Pyrrha's explanation say, everything has Aura, but it takes a certain amount of training or skill to be able to use it as an effective shield. People and intelligent animals like Zwei can be taught to use Aura this way, but less intelligent animals and life forms like plants can't. They have Aura, but not the sentience to use it to protect themselves.

Therefore! Plants can have Auras, but are too stupid to use it!

...though it would be really cool if, like the Grimm, the older or more advanced a plant gets, the more chance it has of gaining awareness and in this case, being able to use its Aura. Old trees, for example, could learn how to use Aura to toughen their bark against termites and parasites, or rapidly spreading plants like vines could have a higher chance of mutating and that effecting their aura. Mushroom colonies could learn to let out Aura pulses to kill surrounding animals and plants and cause them to decompose and feed it, or venus fly traps could get a lot more offensive with blades of aura instead of teeth. There's also those groves of trees that are actually all one organism, and having that be illustrated by its aura sensing intrusions in one part and carrying that message all the way to the other side would be neat. We also see that Aura can heal yourself and in some cases others, so plants regrowing leaves and flowers within minutes of being torn off, or traditional medicinal herbs and plants being doubly powerful if the plant had a strong Aura.

This was absolutely just a shitpost, but trees do tend to be very mythologically and culturally significant - you could absolutely work folklore and biology into the world of Remnant's flora for some fun aura shenanigans and it would be completely justifiable by canon.

As for your question... I'm thinking you're screwed, maybe even doubly so, lol. Since an allergic reaction is your body's immune system flipping the fuck out over something, I feel like your soul would also flip out and quadruple down on the defenses slamming up, thereby making it worse. Or something about aura only protecting from external physical damage and not internal biological reactions, because if an Aura would stop an allergic reaction, wouldn't it also stop all kinds of immune responses and leave huntsmen vulnerable to disease? Unless it acts as an immune system instead and hunts down viruses themselves, but in yhat case I guess an allergic reaction would be your soul really just not vibing with something and pulling out all the stops to try and get rid of it like it would a disease to the point of death.

New question of the day, what substance would your soul so violently reject it could kill you?

Do plants have Aura?

Discuss.

[sundayswiththeilluminati]

I’m spilling over my thoughts on Nona the Ninth and John’s behavior and here’s the thing, John has always had good intentions; but good intentions are not enough. You have to listen. It’s not about the help you want to give, it’s about the help someone needs to get.

There’s the surface layer of “John dumped Earth’s soul into a Barbie doll” of like “of course a man dumped a woman’s soul into a Barbie” but to stop there is, no. We’re doing the man the myth the legend a disservice. It’s so much worse. Because he doesn’t want Alecto like that. He doesn’t want her in a sexy way. It’s not about the Barbie. It’s about the toy. He says, I wanted Galatea, I wanted a Christmas tree fairy, I wanted a Renaissance angel. I wanted an icon, I worshipped you, I thought you were the most splendid thing that ever existed, the only way I could wrap my head around you was to frame you in every concept I had of beauty and power. But I did all that because I wanted to have you. “It’s human nature to want something.” That’s the only excuse he gives for eating the Sun. “It’s human nature to take.” EATING THE SUN. DOOMING THE SOLAR SYSTEM. “I wanted it. I took it. It’s human nature to take.” He had to put her in a body because he was scared she would get away. “I thought you would escape before I was done.” He thought of Hollywood Hair Barbie not because that was his ideal of beauty and sex and not even just because that was his favorite possession but because that’s the relationship he wants to have with her. “She got to have all the adventures.” He wants to be with the Earth! He wants to have adventures with it! He wants it to be his. He wants it. “It’s human nature to take.” It’s not about fitting Alecto into a body, it’s about fitting Alecto into a story. 

First he wants her to be his companion, his solace, his other half; then he wants her to be Alecto the avenging Fury, the devil, the beast, his unmaking; then he wants her to be Annabel Lee, buried by the sea, the tragic lost love whose grief he must always carry; but it’s always about the story he’s writing in his head. Why do kids catch butterflies? They see this beautiful, fascinating thing, and they love it, and they want it, and so they need to have it. To catch it so it doesn’t get away. John had to chain Alecto because she might get away. She was a liability. She held too much of his heart, metaphorically, and his soul, literally, and he couldn’t stand the idea of not having her. What if he chained Alecto because she wanted to leave? Or, worse, because she wanted to go back? What if Earth was doing a lot better now, a few centuries on, and she was tired of being meat? And John just couldn’t stand the idea of losing her? “It’s human nature to take.” It’s human nature to love, and to not want to let go of what you love, and to take it, to make sure it can’t leave, because you can’t risk the idea that it might not love you back. It might not want to be part of your story.

Compare that to Nona’s life. The very first time we meet Nona’s caretakers, they’re listening to her. Camilla turns on the recorder and asks Nona to describe her dream, and then listens. That scene so wonderfully establishes what’s the most important about Nona’s life: she has people who take care of her, protect her, but also leave room for her. Pyrrha and Cam and Pal order her around. They keep secrets from her. They do things that might harm her right now or go against her wishes and justify it as being for her protection. They use her, too: they’re listening and watching to see what she might become, to know how she might play a role in their war. They do everything John does to his lyctors. The difference is, they also listen to her. They don’t make her follow the story in their heads. They change themselves to accommodate her, the way they expect her to change to accommodate them. Nona doesn’t always get what she wants, because often it isn’t good for her. The people raising her need to keep her safe and fed and well. They don’t take orders from her. But they listen to her. 

And Nona tells them. Nona doesn’t want to be a Renaissance angel, she wants her hair in braids and a cheeseburger t-shirt. John would have given Alecto every thing of great beauty and power, every thing he thought might ever be appropriate to the grandeur he’d built in his mind, but he would never have bought her a shirt from Salt Chip Fish Shop. Pyrrha doesn’t give her anything of beauty and power. Pyrrha makes Nona eat her eggs because she needs food to keep that human body going, even though Nona whines and complains and demands pikelets and birthday gifts; Pyrrha says, eat your eggs, because it’s good for you, and go to school, because it’ll keep you occupied, and don’t come to my dig site, because it’s dangerous for you. Then Pyrrha sells her cigarettes for cash to bribe someone, sure, but what do you want to bet some of that money also went to buy the pikelet mix she makes for Nona the next day, and the shirt she buys for Nona’s birthday too? She doesn’t give Nona exactly what she wants, because Nona is a child and needs protection and guidance. But she doesn’t give the gifts she wants to give; she gives the gifts she knows Nona wants to get. She listens.

And that’s what saves them all. Blood of Eden wants Nona to be Harrow, or Gideon, or both, or a lyctor; an ally, an enemy, something they understand, and if they’d been able to force that on Nona things would have probably gone catastrophically wrong. Instead Pyrrha, Cam, and Pal let her tell them who she is. Tell me your memories. Try out this sword. What do you think about bones? And as much as they want her (or don’t want her) to react to those things, to have certain answers, they listen to the ones she actually gives and react accordingly, and that saves them from making the terrible mistake of not realizing her true identity.

Now finally look at Harrow, handed, over and over again, everything she could ever want: power, immortality, freedom, family, god’s favor, answers, even a way to finally win the love she believed impossible. And all she has to do is take. Take Gideon Nav’s soul. Freely offered! Again and again! All she has to do is take it. And she won’t. She will not take, not even what’s given to her. She won’t take the help of the other Houses because she thinks it will destroy the Ninth - because they won’t listen to the Ninth, even as they help it. She won’t take Gideon Nav’s soul because she won’t take another life to save her own. She will not concede the idea that power can only be gained by one by taking from another. She will not privilege her story above others. She will not say, it’s human nature to take. That’s why Alecto loves her. That’s why she’s going to kill God. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

[mayasaura]

do you think the reason the second 69 reunion didn't go so well bc the sixth wanted her blood? like, we as readers know way more about the whole blood of Eden situation than kiriona did, and painted through the nona lense her hostility seems to come out of nowhere, but like...

she's been pushed around like a doll for like a half a year. and now here comes someone else trying to mess with her body without her permission again. this time, she can say no, and feel (dubiously) good about it.

couple this with the probablity that she only fully leaned into this cohort thing because she felt completely and utterly abandoned, and palamades clearly having usurped and fucked around with her new bestie - a tower Prince nonetheless, and was just talking about allying with rebel forces...

I think it was a mix of the aforementioned distate of having her body used without permission thus being used to compound her allegiance to her Father and Ianthe purely because they're the only people who will care about her now, one way or the other

I think it was a confluence of things that made that reunion go so badly, but it was the blood most of all.

Kiriona has already not had a good day. She thought for a moment that she was seeing Harrow again. Maybe she thought Harrow had come back for her, and was finally going to accept her offer. She wanted so badly for Harrow to want her. Then Nona kissed her, and told her she looked like she wanted it, and Pyrrha talked about her mother, none of which we have time to unpack right now.

So she's already been having pretty much the worst time when Palamedes calls her "it" and tries to take her blood, and she realises that's the only reason they came for her at all. It's Kiriona Gaia they're after, not Gideon the Ninth, so Kiriona Gaia is what they get.

I think it's even worse because of her history with Palamedes, and the conversation she overhears before he goes for her with the needle. He references Harrow opening the Tomb.

In Gideon the Ninth, when Gideon was at her lowest point, Palamedes was there for her. She told him a secret she'd been keeping for seven horrible years. It was like she'd opened up her chest and let him take a look inside her, and at the time he'd acted like he might even care. Like maybe that meant something.

And then he goes and references the secret she told him to a room full of people like it's something they all already know, before trying to harvest her body like a public resource. Look at it like that, and no wonder she's pissed with him.

I noticed that when she takes survey of who's in the room after she sits up, the only one she has a kind word for is Corona. And yeah yeah, very gay very in character: Corona is hot so she can stay, but everyone else should leave.

But Corona is also the only one who said words of mourning over Gideon's body, and treated her like a dead friend instead of a fetch quest item.

Jaune 1/2 (v2-9)

Ren rose from his seat in the waiting room as new team mates Pyrrha and Nora exited the examination rooms. Neither looking too worse for wear. Though Nora still had one arm across her chest.

"So?" Ren asked.

"The nurse said my chest will be tender and sensitive for the next few days, and there will be bruising, but other than that I'm fine." Nora replied. "How about you, Pyrrha?"

"Nothing serious. I have to inform them if I start to feel dizzy or nauseous, but they feel I don't have a concussion, but want to be sure."

"That's good." Ren commented, before peering around the pair, "Um... what about...?"

"Jaune?" Pyrrha asked.

"Red?" Nora asked.

"Both I guess."

"I don't know." Pyrrha answered. "I saw her wheeled into one of the exam rooms, but no one has said anything to me."

"Ditto." Nora added.

"CODE WHITE exam room three." suddenly blared over the pa system. "CODE WHITE exam room three."

The trio looked at each other, and then suddenly moved out of the way of the doors to the exam rooms, as a couple nurses, several orderlies and two security guards rushed past. The trio looked at each other...

"LET GO OF ME!!!" a voice screamed out, "YOU'RE NOT DOING THAT TO ME!!!"

"That sounded like Red." Nora commented.

"I'M SO GOING TO KICK ALL YOUR ASSES AFTER THIS!!!"

"Yep, that's Jaune." Pyrrha deadpanned.

"Why do you keep calling Red, Jaune?" Nora asked.

"Well..."

"COLD! COLD! IT'S COLD!!!!"

"Maybe we should hold that conversation, until our fourth member is here?" Ren asked.

Twenty minutes later a green haired nurse wheeled as shivering and dead-eyed young woman wrapped in a hospital gown, and blanket, out into the waiting room.

"Ms Nikos?"

"Yes?"

"Your partner, is good to return to your room. Please keep her from doing anything strenuous for the next three to four days as she does have a concussion, but other than that, she is in perfect health."

"Can't get married now... violated... sullied." Jaune muttered.

"Should I be concerned about?"

"No. she's just over reacting to the pelvic exam."

"Pelvic exam? Why did Red get one of those?" Nora asked.

"Well, we have no medical information on Ms Arc, and as such, and as per the Headmaster's instructions we had to complete a thorough and fully body examination." the Nurse replied.

"That explains it." Nora commented, while Ren just stood there having no context about what was going on.

"Is there anything else we need to consider or know about?" Pyrrha asked as the nurse moved away and allowed Pyrrha to take control of the wheel chair, while Jaune continued to whimper and mutter.

"She does have to return in five days for another exam."

"I und... Jaune?" Pyrrha stuttered out as Jaune reached up grabbed one of Pyrrha's arms and was hugging it with vice like force.

"Don't leave me..." Jaune whined.

"Ms Arc, goodness you'd think you'd never had a pelvic exam before, which is absurd considering your age." the Nurse chuckled. "Anyway you are all discharged."

"Thank you." Pyrrha commented, as Nora just beamed the nurse a smile and Ren gave a slight bow of his head. Jaune did nothing but cling to Pyrrha's arm even tighter.

[bleached-d-soul]

Some Angst because I live for it, Pyrrha had been chosen to be the summer maiden. She decides it best to leave Jaune and her new born daughter, to protect them! Ozpin told her it needed to be done. Now years later, she tries to visit her family...only to come upon a ruined home and a grave with Jaune's name. With her angry daughter glaring at her like she was Salem herself

“I am sor-“

“Don’t.”

The command cut worse than any claws or knives. What hurt even worse was the look the girl with blood red hair gave her.

It was the same look Pyrrha saw when fighting her enemies.

“Just… don’t,” the girl was angry. But even worse, she sounded tired. Broken in a way a ten year old should not be. “Leave.”

Pyrrha refused, “I am not leav-“

“Leave!” The girl screamed as she picked up and threw a stone at the Maiden. Pyrrha let it hit her, she didn’t deserve to dodge or block it. “Leave! Leave, damn it! Like you did years ago! Fucking leave us alone!”

She continued to chuck stone after stone, tears running down her face. Soon, she just screamed. Not words, though. Just sounds.

The girl kept screaming but Pyrrha stayed. And seeing her still there, the poor girl ran into the ruins of her home.

It was a remote village in Vale. A small settlement erected in the years of war against Salem. She heard about jt a few months back. But she had the other priorities.

She never knew it was here that Jaune and their daughter went after Beacon.

She never knew she would one day return here to find her lover dead and her daughter an orphan.

She never knew that winning this way would cost her everything.

[arc-misadventures]

Truth Defined

The Knight, and the Amazon lay in a pile of rubble, each slowly picking themselves up as the blew away clouds of dust away from them. The, White Famg had prepared one hell of a bomb to take out the Atlas delegation. No doubt figuring out they would never get the bomb close enough to kill them, they would just have to make the bomb strong enough to level most of the building, and the surrounding block in the process.

But, they had stopped it! By taking it as far away from the building as possible because they couldn’t disarm, a tamper proof bomb. So they took it to an empty construction site, and let it go off there.

Unfortunately they had been caught in the blast, but things could be worse, no?

Jaune: Ow…

Pyrrha: That was… something…

Jaune: That’s putting it lightly…

Pyrrha: But, we made it out okay in the end! All is well in the world!

Jaune: Pyrrha…

Pyrrha: Yes, Jaune?

Jaune: My arm is broken.

Pyrrha: What?!

Jaune: Yep… That blast sent me flying back, shattering my arm when I hit the wall…

Pyrrha: But, you’re aura! It should have protected you!

Jaune: It did… mostly, hold on, I can still revamp my aura… That should fix it…

A golden light soon enveloped, Jaune as his aura slowly recharged. Mending his bruised body before concentrating on his broken arm with a…

“SNAP! CRACK!!”

Jaune: …

Pyrrha: ?!

Jaune: ow…!!!

Pyrrha: Y-You okay, Jaune…?

Jaune: Yeah… Yeah! I’m okay! Oww…

Pyrrha: Good… S-Sorry I didn’t throw that thing away sooner.

Jaune: Honestly, I know you’re strong, but that thing was heavy! I’m amazed we even got it down here, let alone the fact you managed to throw it with your lasso.

Pyrrha: Speaking of: Where is it? I let go of it, when the bomb went off…

Jaune: Lets go find it then…

Pyrrha: Sure, just give me a moment… Ahh… Oh that’s gonna leave a mark…

Jaune: Need a refill?

Pyrrha: Yes, please!

Jaune: Hehe… Okay, one refill coming right up.

Jaune, made his way over to his bruised, and battered partner, gently placing his hand on her shoulder before flooding her with his golden aura. Her red aura shinned upon contact as she gave a soft and contempt sigh as she fell her aches, and pains wash away.

Pyrrha: Haa… That’s the stuff… Thanks, Jaune.

Jaune: No problem, now lets find your lasso, and head back to base.

Pyrrha: Any idea why no one told us about the, Atlas delegates?

Jaune: Ozpin, probably thought it would be for the best if it remained a secret.

Pyrrha: And, why is that?

Jaune: Safety of the dignitaries; The less people that know they’re here, the safer they’ll be, or should be that is…

Pyrrha: Must people hide everything in secrets?

Jaune: Yes.

Pyrrha: And, why is that; Can’t people be honest with one another?

Jaune: Well… The way I see it, there are three types of secrets: Good, Bad, and Grey secrets.

Pyrrha: Three types of secrets? That’s an uncomfortable thought.

Jaune: Yeah it is… The good secrets we keep to help another, the bad secrets we hurt another with. Then there are the grey secrets.

Pyrrha: The ones that can both hurt the person, but are kept from them for they own good.

Jaune: True, but I mostly see them as the secrets you don’t want to tell anyone about. Mostly because your scared how… Oh, found it. Anywho, I mostly keep my secrets to myself because I’m scared what might happen if I told anyone about them.

Pyrrha: You have secrets like that?

Jaune: Of course I do, who doesn’t?

Pyrrha: Fair. But, I bet you’ve got some juicy secrets.

Jaune: Ehhh… Depends on who you ask.

Pyrrha: Oh, like what: Hidden diary, secret cash stash, secret lover?!

Jaune: Nothing like that, my greatest secret is that I’m hopelessly in love with you, Pyrrha.

Pyrrha: Eh?!

Jaune: But, nothing will come up with that… I mean… I’m just some kid pretending he is a knight playing about like he is also a hero. Then there’s you, Pyrrha Nikos, Amazonian Princess. Saviour of Mistral, and a bunch of other stuff. You’re loved, and are famous the world over! And, I’m just… I’m just me… What possible chance do I have of getting with someone as fantastic as you, Pyrrha? Sure we’re good teammates, and all, but is that really the basis of any long lasting relationship? No, no its not. I want to love you openly, and smother you in love, and affection, but I’m not good enough for you… You can do so better than me. So, I’ve got to try, and become better than I already am, but at this rate… I guess, I’ll just keep this secret to myself, and maybe one day, I’ll feel like I’m worthy enough to tell you how I feel. The tell you I love you, Pyrrha, with all my heart. But sadly today… Is not that day…

Jaune finished talking when he took a glance at his partner to see her staring with the slackest of jaws, and the reddest of faces, as she tried to say something, but all that came out was a stuttering mess. Jaune looked at her perplexed for a moment when like lightning realization flashed before his eyes. He stared at, Pyrrha with a blank expression before he looked down at his hand, and saw a golden light from, Pyrrha’s golden lasso, held tightly in his hand.

Jaune: …

Pyrrha: …

Jaune: Ah ha… The… The Lasso of Truth… I-I thought you needed to have it wrapped around you… not… not holding it… D-Does this happen often…?

Pyrrha: N-Now a-and then…

Jaune: D-Do you by chance have something… something to top this…?!

Pyrrha: N-No… No I don’t…

Jaune: Oh… Okay… shit…

Pyrrha: S-Sorry…?

Jaune: …

Pyrrha: …

Jaune: L-Let’s get going!

Pyrrha: YES! W-We’re need to tell the others… stuff… Stuff about the mission…

Jaune: But, not this part!

Pyrrha: Not this part!

Jaune: Yeah! Haha ha ha…

Pyrrha: Ha haa…

Jaune: …

Pyrrha: …

Jaune: Let’s just go already…

Pyrrha: Yeah…

///

Pyrrha Nikos is Wonder Woman!

I was going to mention that at the beginning, but I thought that would spoil the surprise.

Just wanted to explore the idea that the, Lasso of Truth accidentally making you make an impromptu love confession. Thought it would be an interesting idea.

[noneatnonedotcom]

Dark rwby smut:

Raven has Yang and Weiss hostage and won’t release them. It’s up to Jaune to challenge the bandit leader for the sake of his friend’s freedom.

A knight strode into a bandit camp with purpose.

It sounds like the start of a grand story, some fairytale you’d tell children before bed.

The truth was very different. Jaune Arc had long since abandoned the ideals of heroism. But there was one idea he held onto even now.

An Arc always kept his word.

That’s why he was doing this, he’d sworn to help his friends no matter what and by the gods if he had to take on the most dangerous bandit tribe in fucking Minstral then he would do so. An Arc NEVER went back on his word.

He ignored the squelching mud under his new boots. Or the way his armor sat a little heavier on him than he’d like. The new gauntlets were closer to a robotic hand than the armor most people thought of. A side effect of telling ruby that he was off to save her sister. He’d only just avoided muscle armor. Still, there were worse things than having a suit of armor tailor-made for you by the best blacksmith this side of the afterlife.

It at least let him look the part.

Still, he’d stalled long enough, time to deal with reality.

Raven stood before him.

“You’re a long way from home, boy,” she said, not looking up from the drink she was enjoying. The scantily clad Weiss poured for her. Both her and Yang were chained around the neck.

“I’m here for them”

“Then you have the ransom?” she asked with a raised brow

“Yeah, I'll just be giving it to you in steel rather than gold,” he said, working hard to keep his voice calm as he drew his blade. He didn’t deploy the shield; he'd need the element of surprise if he wanted any chance of surviving this.

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

Raven was worried, she’d heard about the arc family, hell she’d gone to school with the boy's father. There was a good reason why the area around the arc ancestral lands was so safe. Everyone who crossed the family died, or worse.

And his mother was definitely worse. A tribal just like her she’d fought Arc to prove a point, now thirty years later she was still a breeding sow for the family. Her warrior stock probably only made them more powerful. And now here he was ready to take her daughter and the Schnee.

If she had it her way she’d just give the boy both and be done with it. They weren’t worth her head. But that wasn’t an option. No, instead she’ll just have to offer something better than the satisfaction of her death.

“Very well boy, I'll take your steel. And if you manage to beat me I’ll even give you my body as well”

She only prayed that the Arc would accept it

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

Jaune wasn’t sure what to do, frankly, he wanted nothing to do with a woman who abandoned her daughter but if he didn’t take the deal then he’d likely be jumped by her entire tribe, who had begun forming a circle around the last patch of dry grass that hadn’t been turned to mud from them walking through it.

“Fine,” he said, annoyance in his voice, he just wanted Yang and Weiss back home with the team where they belonged now he’d have to deal with this too.

He took his place across from her, taking his sword in a two-handed grip that his father had tried teaching him when he was a boy. It was Pyrrha who taught him how to fight with a shield. Who taught him to protect others but jaune wasn’t looking to protect here. Only to slay.

There was no signal, Raven just rushed him. Normally he wouldn’t have been able to react to the speed. But months with Nora had taught him to use her peripheral vision. The added context to the attack that was about to hit him prevented panic and allowed him to dodge the blow as an ear-splitting screech tore through the air as dust-enhanced steel met angled armor. It was only sheer luck that let his pommel slam into her chin.

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

The boy was strong, Raven had a habit of toying with those weaker than her but for strong opponents, she tried to end it in a single strike. Using her aura to launch herself like a rocket at her enemy then causing another boost of aura to swing her blade fast enough to make a sonic boom like a bullet.

Not only had this jaune blocked it, but in the same fluid motion, he’d counterattacked. And now he was coming at her.

Gods’ why didn’t she just give him the girls?!

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

Jaune stumbled forward catching himself just in time to almost run but not quite. Still, he was out of time bracing his shoulder he jumped forward slamming into her gut just as her sword would have split his head.

He’d told ruby he needed a helmet!

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

Raven was knocked on her ass and fear began to take hold, she couldn’t die here, this boy, this man was too strong and

NO!

She would defeat him, rolling to her feet she charged as much aura as she could into her blade and swung down, she’d be exhausted but the monster would be dead. Off to the side, she noticed that her daughter had freed herself and the Schnee. That would be a problem but it was too late for her to save her little boy toy.

Just as her daughter screamed the world went white

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

Jaune felt more aura coursing through him than ever before. And down there in front of him, on her back trying to crawl away in fear was raven.

“I give up!” she screamed as jaune lifted his sword, “please just take them and go!”

Jaune glared at the woman “I’d love nothing more than to leave your weak tribe and be fucking done with this” he said honestly. The longer he stayed here the more likely it was these guys would jump him. And even if he got lucky with raven he doubted he could take all of them “but unfortunately I made you a promise”

With that, he began to unarmor himself. Taking a step toward the retreating woman with each thunk of the heavy armor falling away until as he stripped his pants and showed off his cock to the world he once more sighed pulling raven back by her legs to him. He hoped yang and Weiss weren’t watching, he was pretty average and didn’t have much to show off. Then again, he didn’t have much to compare him with.

All the guys at beacon refused to shower with him in the locker room

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

OF COURSE THE BOY WAS A MONSTER, HE WAS A FUCKING ARC!

He was carrying around a foot of cock and it was surely gonna ruin her. But as Raven tried to crawl away, her own aura utterly depleted she felt him drag her back in front of him by her ankle. Her hands pulling up tufts of grass in vane as she tried to avoid her fate

“Just hurry the fuck up and strip raven, I have better shit to do!” came the annoyed voice of the monster behind her

What?

She froze and jaune growled in frustration ripping her clothes apart and lining himself up with her snatch

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

She was tight, that was about all Jaune could say on the subject as Raven squirmed and struggled underneath him. He really wasn’t enjoying this. She was too shallow, too unused to him and SHE KEPT FUCKING CRAWLING AWAY!

Like, he got it, it was probably annoying to have to deal with him shoving himself into her, but damn it this wasn’t his fucking idea. And an Arc always keeps their word, so here he was trying to hold this whining bitch down so he could finish up and be done the entire fucking thing.

Finally getting tired of her bullshit jaune wrapped her hair around his hand and pulled her back into him. She screamed louder as he hammered into her, probably pissed that he was touching her hair like yang would be. Damn it he was starting to lose his boner! Think about Ruby Jaune! Think about that big, bubbly, Rubooty!

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

Raven was going to die, she was sure of it, his massive cock was sticking out of her stomach and she could feel her body struggling to accommodate him as he shoved that fucking pillar deep into her. Having already gone as far as her womb.

Then he told her he was halfway in! The fuking idiot didn’t seem to get that there was NO MORE FUCKING ROOM FOR HIM.

She screamed as her body was flooded with pleasure as he pulled her hair. Bringing her back into him as he fucked her like a common whore. Her daughter was watching with her friend and… oh gods he just got bigger!

He must have seen Yang masterbating to this.

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

He smacked Raven’s ass, disappointed it didn’t jiggle like Ruby’s when she ran, and struggled to maintain the fantasy. With a grunt, he pushed in deeper and held her there as his first orgasm finally came.

Thank the Gods’

Only two more holes to go.

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

Raven thought it was over when she felt herself fill with cum, groaning in relief as jaune pulled out of her now leaking cunt. Ruined for all the world to see. But then she felt herself being pulled up by her hair. And suddenly she was being throat fucked, her vision filled by a sneering Jaune.

She felt herself cum again as he used her

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

It was official, raven sucked at this. It was a fucking blow job! How hard could it be? Nora had given him plenty when she was bored on the road and Ren couldn’t keep up with her anymore. Let alone when he imagined Ruby to be able to do it. No, that wasn’t fair. Maybe she was just out of practice. After all, it's not like many guys around here would give her the time of day.

Okay Jaune just lay close your eyes and imagine Ruby, you can do this

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

He was thinking about someone else, Raven was sure of it now, the way he kept his eyes closed. The way he tried to force her deeper. Was it Yang? Was that why he was here to save her? She didn’t know she didn’t care. Right now that massive dick was being used for her, it was hers!

Her nose filled with his scent, her tongue slipping out from her mouth to lap at his balls. Oh gods what a man. To take her so utterly. To ruin her and have her be just another of his conquests. She wept with joy as she felt him cum down her throat.

She couldn’t give this up

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

Jaune stared down at the clearly delirious Raven, he was a little worried that he’d gone too far as he had forgotten to let her breathe. Normally he’d just wait for the tap on his thigh but she obviously didn’t know about that.

Oh well, just anal left and he could head home with yang and Weiss. He hoped they weren’t too bored.

“Turn around slut,” he said, trying to sound authoritative. He’d heard girls like that, and he was willing to try with Raven since it didn’t really matter if she didn’t like it. Not like he was ever gonna see her again

He was pleasantly surprised to find he was right as he watched Raven squeal in glee before she put herself face down into the grass. Huh… good to know, maybe Ruby would like it if he used his leader’s voice?

Lining up with the older woman’s ass Jaune decided it was about time to wrap this up so he wasn’t gonna go with the slow and steady pace he had before

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

Raven’s world was one of sensations alone as she felt her master slam his cock into her ass. Her eyes swam with colors and her body twitched as she felt orgasm after orgasm. Pain and pleasure mixing in a delirious cocktail that her brain drowned in. and her hands, no longer being used to hold her up, Rubbed along the imprint his cock made in her. Trying to give him the same pleasure she felt

Every breath was praise for him.

This was heaven.

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

Raven was annoying as hell.

“iloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyouILOVEYOU!”

“Please just shut the fuck up Raven!” Jaune screamed back as he tried to finish himself off. Groaning in relief as he felt another set of mouths on his balls. Turning around he saw Yang and Weiss doing their best to help him through this chore. They were great friends and jaune owed them for this.

What they lacked in skill they made up for in enthusiasm. And Jaune soon found himself about to cum slamming home in the bandit queen jaune moaned in relief as he flooded raven’s body with his seed. Slowly pulling the still hard cock out of the twitching mess of a woman and letting Yang and Weiss try to clean him up.

Oh yeah, he owed these two a lot. Though he did come to save them in the first place. But that was only to help his friends so yeah, he’d still owe them.

Nodding in agreement with his train of logic, he said out loud “welp time to go home” to his surprise the Raven opened a portal to …. Qrow?

OH HEY, THERE WAS RUBY!

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

Ruby was a very happy girl, her sister was safe, as was her bestie Weiss. And Raven had even learned the error of her ways. Yeah, today was great.

It was also great because she was slamming her nice thicc ass back on Jaune’s dick like nature intended. Honestly, what was Raven thinking trying to take a dick this amazing with an ass like that? At least Yang had the common sense to use her tits to get jaune off. And Weiss…. Weiss was willing to help however she could.

So that’s why she let her sister and friend join in on her fun with her boyfriend.

Slamming her ass down on his dick faster, Ruby relished the attention that was on her as Raven whimpered in the corner.

Yeah, Yang and Weiss got to help, but Raven had to study hard if she wanted to be a good slut. That’s why she was being forced to watch her and Jaune go at it for hours on end.

It totally wasn’t because ruby liked putting the snobby bitch in her place. Ruby would never do that.

Moaning in pure pleasure as she arched her back and Jaune came inside her. Ruby smiled before resuming her work with a kiss from Jaune.

And they all lived happily ever after

Oz salt? Please spare Oz salt. 🥺

rubs hands. let's do this again because tumblr crashed.

first things first: I want everyone who has ever called him a liar to pay me $20 and then turn in a 40 page essay on how he's a liar, MLA format, sources cited.

now, onto that. everyone harps on ozpin for lying. keyword: lying. they call him a liar, they say they can't trust him, etc. let's talk about this. keeping secrets is not lying. lying is intentionally FALSE statements / information.

so, with that, let's count the number of times ozpin has GENUINELY LIED. that'll be a total of one (1) time. what lie was this? the relic having questions.

this ENTIRE time, everyone has been dragging this poor man by the ankles and punching at him while he's down when he's lied... once.

he's kept secrets, he's kept information to himself. that, by definition, is not lying. keeping secrets is not giving false statements. to keep calling him a liar is inaccurate.

now, let's move onto the way the narrative paints him.

"he forced pyrrha to be the maiden. he didn't give her a choice. he told her to pick or everyone would die. he guilt tripped her." — to that I say, no he didn't. he explained the gravity of the situation. if he didn't tell her the heavy parts, everyone would've ripped him to shreds because he "didn't warn her". he explained what he felt she needed to know: they needed someone to take the other half of amber's power. it's a big decision to make and it will change your life. there are people out there who want their hands on this power and we don't want the wrong person to have it, like cinder. you can take your time to choose. if you don't, we will consider another option.

he gave her the information she needed and he gave her time to think about it. when she accepted, he continuously asks her for consent and if she truly wants this. she said yes multiple times.

on that note, he is not responsible for her death. he told her to LEAVE when cinder attacked. he told her to go get qrow, james and glynda, and then get to safety with the rest of the students. SHE chose to come back and fight cinder all on her own. jaune even begged her not to do it before she shoved him in a locker and launched him away. ozpin is not responsible for her death.

"he's evil because he tried to leave salem and take their kids" — okay so clearly male abuse victims don't exist to you or the narrative. ozma was MANIPULATED by salem. jinn says as much: "the hearts of men are easily swayed." this is said over salem goading ozma into being a false god with her. he continuously questioned their choices, he was consumed with guilt, his host even asked him wtf was going on.

when their daughter came into her power, ozma decided to lay the truth out, and with it came the horror of salem wanting to USE their daughters to start a new generation of magic-users. she SAID it, right to his face. he BACKS AWAY IN DISGUST AND HORROR. his logical thought then was to LEAVE. wouldn't you if your spouse decided they wanted to use your children??

it astounds me because if the roles were reversed, ozma would be the villain and salem would be justified in leaving. interesting, isn't it?

next, we have the girls ripping his past away from him and then blasting him for hiding information. this... look, I don't care how "urgent" it was, there is NO excuse for doing this. if this had happened to blake when she was keeping secrets about being in the white fang or being with adam, the characters and audience would be livid, especially when the white fang were written as dangerous terrorists and adam was written as an abuser. they're dangerous, they posed threats. if this had happened to blake, if someone forced her trauma out into the open, they would be in the wrong. but because it's ozpin, it's fine.

moving on. "lying about lionheart." — this is just ridiculous. telling the world "hey, the headmaster of haven, who was a faunus by the way, was actually the one behind huntsmen dying and the attack on the school as well as contributing to the fall of beacon." it sends a BAD message and sets the human-faunus relationship back even further. ozpin chose not to tell the people about lionheart betraying them because not only would it cause issues, he also says that he would rather people believe in all the good leo had previously done. your mistakes don't define you, that kind of logic.

"oz lied about the lamp attracting grimm" — no he didn't. he didn't SAY that it did. that's not a lie. he kept it a secret so the students wouldn't worry and actually attract grimm. which, by the way, interesting how that "attraction" seemed to have disappeared by the time v7 and 8 dropped. never once saw grimm following them around because of the lamp. the only grimm that actively attacked were the ones coming through the hole in the wall. weird, huh? almost like the story NEEDED something for the characters to be mad at oz about.

anyway, I'm gonna move on. the fact that ozpin received ZERO apologies and / or sympathy, especially from those we'd expect it from (ruby, weiss, blake) is infuriating. EMERALD was forgiven in a heartbeat, and she actively helped cause the fall of beacon, she helped kill penny, she killed a faunus in vale to prove a point to cinder (who got mad at her for, btw), she helped frame yang into "attacking" mercury so she'd look violent, she worked for salem by proxy of cinder. emerald did way much worse than ozpin, and she was forgiven !! in that same episode, ozpin is given dirty looks and "hm, idk if we can still trust you." hell, HE apologized. he had NOTHING to apologize for. these kids were in the wrong, especially when they lied throughout all of volume seven and then were justified for it. "you're not like oz, you're trusting people to prove themselves first." uh. you mean like ozpin was doing???? these students actively lied to ironwood for most of v7 until it finally caught up to them, and then they were STILL in the right. yet they got on ozpin and still reprimand him.

idunno man, I'm so tired. this isn't even the half of it but I'm angry all over again.

in any case, ozpin isn't perfect, he has made some really stupid mistakes (CCT towers that cause global disconnection when one tower falls, etc.), but like, he's not the devil either.

Lancaster vs Rosegarden

Oscar: Jaune!

Jaune: Oh hi Oscar.

Oscar: You think you better than me?!

Jaune: Wait what?

Oscar: You think just because you're tall, muscler, an awsome semblance, and cool armor that'll make Ruby yours. Well too bad buddy, she's mine.

Jaune: I'm sorry, my mind is wondering where are you going with this.

Oscar: Ruby is mine. She will be mind.

Jaune: Okay. But what does this have to with me.

Oscar: I'm not an idiot Jaune. I see everything.

Jaune: What are you-?

Oscar: The train.

Ruby’s scroll.

Argus

Atlas.

I know what you're thinking and trust me she will soon know that chocolate is better than vanilla.

Jaune: Look Oscar-

Oscar: I'm the goat here. I've gone through shit. I do more for this group than anyone.

Jaune: Okay. Noted. Now Oscar just hear me-

Oscar: I'm better than you in every way.

Jaune: Okay but-

Oscar: I'm-

Jaune pimps’ slaps Oscar across his face. The hand was so strong it almost threw Oscar off. However, once Oscar recovered a little, Jaune slaps him again, knocking the drool off him.

Oscar: Ow!

Jaune: You good? A-are you done? Can I finish?

Oscar: Yeah.

Jaune: Thank you. Now let me tell you something um Pyrrha is dead.

Oscar: Okay, so what? What does she... oh.

Jaune: Yeah, she was reckless, she didn't think and she burdens everything on herself. Does Ruby not do that herself?

Oscar: Um..

Jaune: Okay then shut up. If you like Ruby that much then tell her. This has nothing to do with me. We are not even like that. We're just friends.

Oscar: *feels bad*

Jaune: The only girl I seem to have a relationship with is Yang. And it's not even a romantic one, its playful and sisterly. I mean have you seen her with Blake.

Oscar: True. Wait what about Nora?

Jaune: ... ... ...

Oscar: ... ... ...

Jaune: Teammate. A bit of a sister. Nothing less. Nothing more.

Oscar: Wow. That's low.

Jaune: Now, you are better than me but guess what that ain't much. Like what have you done? What sacrifices have you made? What are your reasons?

Oscar: Um I told James the truth about Salem. I saved everyone at Heaven. I helped in the battle with Cordovan. I saved everyone from Salem.

Jaune: Okay. Ironwood shot you. Cordovan was insane and did not deserve to live or have a job after her recklessness. Plus, Ruby stopped her. You were on a plane. And Ozpin helped more than you in Heaven. And if Hazel didn't buy you any time you would have died. In fact, Hazel is the reason you’re alive.

Me: And the reason your journey started.

Oscar: Well I persuaded him to join the good side.

Jaune: Really, how so?

Oscar: By telling him how to use the lamp. Then he freed me and made me do it myself.

Jaune: So, Hazel just let you go because he didn't believe you?

Oscar: Yep.

Jaune: So, if Hazel called Jinn's name and she appeared, what would have happened then? Like would Hazel have freed you then? Or would he had killed you and just let that be the end?

Oscar: ...

Jaune: So Hazel just showed you pity or you guilt tripped him into helping.

Oscar: I helped with James.

Jaune: Who we jumped.

Oscar: The evacuation.

Jaune: The worse plan we ever made.

Oscar: Oh man.

Jaune: Now, I need to say this, STOP being random. Like first you suck for some reason then you start being cool. Like what the hell?! Oscar, I don't know why I should be wasting my time trying to help you, let alone worry about you if you're somehow going to prove how irrelevant that is. Like I could've been helping Mantle instead of helping you. I could've been trying to talk to James instead of helping you. But no, you're my friend so of course I'll help you.

Oscar: But I'm your partner.

Jaune: No. No you are not. I'm the healer. I'm everybody’s partner.

Me: Basically the brother or the father of the group. No, wait a minute, maybe the mother? Still.

Jaune: Now, for your reason. Why are you here? What is your personal goal?

Oscar: To finish this. This fight with Salem needs to stop. I need to stop the cycle of reincarnation.

Me: Bra, that has nothing to do with you reincarnating. Ozma's mission. Remember?

Oscar: Oh.

Jaune: Basically, until the gods show up and we pass, you have no choices here so... you're here because Ozpin and I fucked up. Mostly me.

Oscar: Oh my brothers.

Jaune: Yeah. Now, listen. Ruby has been going through it. Ask her out. Trust me, you'll be making her day. Believe me. Please, enjoy what little life you might have left because in all honesty you barely have one. Considering your just a mini version of everything I was supposed to be.

Oscar: I'm sorry what?

Jaune: Later. *leaves*

Oscar: Um RatchetMath.

Me: What?

Oscar: Do you hate me?

Me: Yes and no.

Oscar: Why?!

Me: Oscar, I’m not going to lie but in all honesty you should not exist.

Oscar: …

Me: Like I’m not going to cap. You’re just Jaune but with everything else.

Oscar: How?

Me: How? Bra, let me tell you something, have you ever notice how you and Jaune are similar? Like coming into a field with no experience whatsoever. You were getting bullied by others. You were in need a pip talk.

Oscar: But I’m black.

Me: Bra, I’m light skin and I don’t even care for you. I’m fine with black representation but I prefer Ilia over you.

Oscar: What why?

Me: Bra Ilia is black. From a poor neighborhood. Her parents worked in low paying jobs. Her parents are dead. She literally went and lived in Atlas, so she has more awareness of what’s going on there. Plus, team RWBY has one faunus and team JNPR doesn’t. Especially if the said faunus is rich and has some nobility.

Oscar: Shit.

Me: And to be honest Jaune looked like Ozpin. He even looked like Ozma. Other than that if Jaune was Ozpin reincarnation then everything would be some levels the same. Hazel hates Ozpin so will Jaune because what Ozpin has done so far. He sees Ozpin’s life and he would have been even more furious cause none the events needed to happen if Ozpin- no Ozma wasn’t trying to get laid like many so-called heroes. He gets out-casted like he was back at Beacon except Pyrrha’s gone. See where I’m going with this?

Oscar: Yeah.

Me: So, in all honesty Oscar you are just black Jaune Arc. You are just a mere shadow of Jaune’s character. Hint to why I like you. And you know what it’s our fault because we didn’t want Jaune to overshadow Ruby. Even though the sad truth is everyone overshadows Ruby. Plus, our writers refuse to give him a purpose or a character.
