comic commissioned by @bravewriting for their lovely RWBY/Nuts n Dolts role-reversal fic linked above :)

"So rather than try, she throws out her hands with a growl, grabs him by the lapels of his stupid coat. Lets the conversation crash to a halt as she pulls him into her space and…"

Hey... go read Reciprocity by @sigruned if you haven't already. It's phenomenal. bonus sketches under the cut

I sketched this in procreate initially cause I didn't think I would colour it. Ended up bringing it into sai and lost a bit of the emotion from the original sketch by having to redraw it, but oh well. 😔 Also a zoom in on the doodles in the corner inspired by another part of the fic's most recent chapter:

I support Ruby shaking Oscar (and/or Oz) like a pringles can whenever they're being cagey little jerks.

You know that "Mundane super power" aspect you mentioned?

Another thing I like about crossing over RWBY characters with other settings is how easily their nature as basically coming from an apocalyptic hell-world can bleed through.

This is hard to articulate, but like.

The casual way in which towns disappear, that ruins dot the landscape, that people like Ruby & Yang grew up immersed in a culture that trended towards violence and early graves.

There's a nifty Naruto/Stargate crossover, (Its complicated) where Himawari kind of subtly disturbs the Stargate crew cos she knows exactly how best to behave in a dangerous situation, doesn't really seem bothered when enemies die and has been taught stuff like "Reading the battlefield."

I think RWBY characters would be similarly off-putting in their own way unless they were incredibly sheltered like Jaune or rich enough to have not ever encountered a Grimm until the the Beacon Test like Weiss. & even then, the lived experience, training and cultural awareness means they'd likely still come off as a little off-putting.

This also plays into how Ruby and Yang are seemingly quite... Not comfortable, but functional about the prospect of causing death or grievous bodily harm in a way most Shounen/action protags aren't.

Ruby, as far as she knew, sent Neo hurtling to her death in V3 and was at most momentarily shocked when Roman died & forgot all about it. Yang processed killing Adam in a very straightforward manner, she's not cavalier about it, but she'd made peace with it being a them or us situation right quick.

There's plenty of other examples but I think we've discussed it before.

But yeah, I just think its fun, even in series that can have similar degrees of destruction or death, their relative youth and manner with it would likely still make many locals be like (oO) & I think that's fun.

Oh yeah, this has always been a great idea for RWBY crossovers.

And one of my favorite/most interesting parts about is, as you touched on, how subtle Team RWBY’s whole vibe is and how it can potentially sneak up on others.

Like Team RWBY and really most of the show’s characters generally DON’T give off any real obvious ‘I come from a fucked-up deathworld’ vibes like being real dark, broody or even just looking anything the part. For anyone from a much more mundane setting/background, Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang generally come off as a friendly, likeable, good natured bunch without really anything all that offputting.

For about… eighty to ninety percent of the time.

But then you’ve got those 10-20% moments where the dark, serious ‘fantasy war-veteran’ sides of Team RWBY slip out. Like they might not even have been trying to hide it, it just comes out when things get serious.

Like maybe there is some big disaster or some other terrible event perhaps caused by the villains that leaves the more ‘normal’ characters/heroes frozen in shock and horror, meanwhile RWBY are just immediately jumping into the fray to fight or help however they can. With perhaps one or more doing the whole ‘slap the shock’ out of the other characters with a ‘We got work to do!’. And it’s just kind of… unsettling how Team RWBY takes these events in stride.

Or to build off your point on Ruby and Yang, as well as Blake and Weiss, being ‘functionally alright’ with hurting/killing people*, there’s a LOT of juicy potential there for when Team RWBY goes up against more mundane villains.

Like just picture a situation where a villain is threatening innocents in a classic ‘you’ll have to KILL ME to stop me!’ standoff that has the heroes freezing up… only for Ruby to almost immediately just shoot said villain.

She certainly looks like she didn’t enjoy or even want to do it, but both how quickly she did it and how easily she seems to role with it afterwards are just REALLY unsettling.

And then there’s what I’d call the FLIPSIDE to all this in how Team RWBY deals with being in a world that might NOT actually be filled with monsters who are an ever-present existential threat to humanity.

Like even for someone who grew up more sheltered like Weiss that is almost certainly going to be a MASSIVE culture-shock. Not to mention that the only people with a frame of reference that Team RWBY would be able to talk to about this would likely be each other.

Even in settings that might have some kind of monsters threatening humanity such as most magical girl shows, the appearance and threat that these monsters pose are almost always a very RECENT occurrence that most people might not even know about. Generally in these settings, the ‘normal, mundane world’ IS the norm, with the dangerous and supernatural merely popping up on and off in isolated places.

It could really create this interesting contrast where Team RWBY finds the mundane world that their new friends consider ‘normal’ to be just a bit uncanny and unsettling. And even finding it a bit comforting when monsters or some other supernatural threat to fight shows up because that feels more NORMAL to them.

This is actually something I tried/am still trying to explore in my Kingdom Hearts crossover fic. Like Ruby musing on how to explain her whole huntress background to Sora, Kairi and Riku when to them, monsters are things that have existed in storybooks, while for Ruby monsters have always been REAL. Or Ruby even noting a comforting ‘return to normal’ when she starts fighting the Heartless.

I’ve even got ideas for Ruby, as well as Weiss, Blake and Yang further on, idly musing on whether the Grimm or Heartless are the worse to fight, with some of their new friends being just a BIT weirded out.

And that’s not even getting into the potential of Team RWBY interacting with various Disney movie settings. Like I’ll admit that I kinda REALLY want to have Ruby boom-headshot at least one Disney villain XD

*I will say, I’ve had a theory for a while that Ruby, even more so than her teammates, has particular ideological reasons to generally avoid killing people, specifically when we consider how Ruby specifically DOESN’T use her ‘walking grimm-blender’ style of fighting against human opponents. Personally I imagine Ruby seeing it as ‘I hunt MONSTERS, not people.’ That being said, I don’t see Ruby as having some strict ‘no-killing’ ‘one rule’, but rather that she views taking a life as a last resort.

Prompt

Original Male Stud AU

No one in Jaune's team or their sister team have ever seen him drunk. Which is why they are surprised when it does happen, he starts acting very romantic towards Pyrrha and flirting in French. Of course Yang better be careful in teasing Pyrrha... because she soon will be on the receiving end of Jaune's language of love.

(Flirting)

"This is bad," Lie Ren grimaced at his leader, whose balance seemed wobbly. "Oh, Brothers, this is bad!"

"I didn't want this to happen!" Nora Valkyrie shouts, tears welling up in her eyes. "I just wanted Pancakes & Chicken!!"

"Isn't it Waffles & Chicken?" Blake Belladonna spoke up, flinching when the orange-haired girl hissed at the Cat Faunus.

"PANCAKES ARE BETTER!!" Nora barked, only to be held back by Pyrrha and Ren.

"Can you not?" Weiss pinches the bridge of her nose, "We already have Arc intoxicated--," she points to the hiccuping Jaune Arc.

"55 Bottles of beer on the wall, 55 bottles of beer," the leader of Team JNPR drunkenly sang, "Ya take one down, pass it around," he hiccups, chuckling. "54 bottles of beer on the wall~."

"Welp," Ruby exhaled, folding her arms over her bust. "he's officially Uncle Qrow drunk."

"Weirdly," Yang said, tilting her head to the right. "VB's more graceful than Qrow."

"We really can't let anyone see Jaune like this," Pyrrha says, her brows creased in worry. "Our team's already on shaky ground."

"Pyr," the drunk swordsman shakily approaches, "Pyr, don't worry so much, "Gladiateur glorieux (Glorious Gladiator)." Jaune spoke drunkenly in another language.

The redhead blinks, raising her brows at this. "I'm sorry?" Pyrrha inquires, confused as she felt her cheeks burning.

"You heard me," Jaune reaches out to tip her chin. "ma belle championne (my beautiful champion)~."

Her cheeks became red as her hair, realizing her leader was flirting with her in French. She turns away, her hands on her face and muttering to herself. Pyrrha would be lying if she said she didn't dream of her partner saying sweet things to her, even in his current intoxicated state. As the others look on in shock, Yang playfully jabs the Champion's shoulder.

"Wow," Yang playfully said to Pyrrha, "all it took for Jaune to flirt with ya is to get sauced."

"Yang," the drunk swordsman speaks up, softly touching the Brawler's cheek. "no need to tease her, feu de soleil (sunfire)~."

"H-Huh?" The busty blonde looks at Jaune, shifting her lilac irises to Blake. "What did he just--?"

"He called you sunfire," Blake responds with a small smile, while Yang's cheeks turn crimson as her little sister's cape.

Enjoy some WIP cover/companion art for a new RWBY fic I'm working on! I'll share more details about the fic soon, but the basics are it's going to be a long Bumbleby-focused Band AU, likely over 100k words. Here's a look at the band!

Not pictured are Ruby, Weiss, Ilia, who will also be large parts of the (currently unnamed) fic.

Might do individual character sheets eventually? Maybe? We'll see!

[peixedobar]

When does it get quiet? Time was supposed to extinguish the desire But the embers won't snuff out Haunted by your smiles, the mask keeps getting heavier One step forward, two steps back.

Finally finished this art for my Rosegarden Wild West AU fic, Mistrust & Misfortune on AO3!

Weiss is such great comic relief.

[kazzettes]

A doodle based on this pretty cool fanfic I've been reading where Ruby is a mafia boss, Blake is her bodyguard, Yang is one of Ruby's capos and Weiss is a detective.

Yang looks over her shoulder, glaring at the star. “Nothing to worry about? Your town is on fire!” Despite this, the star didn’t seem bothered at all in the slightest. “It’s nothing out of the ordinary!” they even state proudly. “Besides, we have our heroes to protect us!” As if on cue, a flurry of rose petals appeared in the air, swirling like a red tornado. From the petals emerged a figure with a red scythe in hand, rushing forward to scoop up the Paper Pleasers scattered about, moving them away from the flames. And once they were all out of the way, white, glowing glyphs materialized in the air, glimmering like ice as a flurry of fine snow smothered the fires in a matter of seconds. Yang’s palms grow cold. OR. Instead of Jaune, what if Ruby and Weiss were the ones who got transported back in time?

"Weiss only intended to lightly touch Ruby's soul, but the second their auras made contact, their beings merged together completely, ribbons of white and red swirling around each other, becoming more one person than two."

Wrote a new WR fic where Ruby and Weiss literally bare their souls to each other while practicing with their semblances!

Ruby vs. Mama Arc pt. 1

#You have one new message#

"Hey mom..."

Jaune's voice filtered through the speaker, his face came into focus on the screen.

"So uh good news... We won, I didn't think I'd make it this far but I guess I'll be coming home after al-"

Jaune was cut off when someone tugged his arm from off-screen.

"Come on, Vomit Boy~ let's get to bed~"

The camera jerked to the side revealing a girl in a corset tugging on his arm, smiling suggestively. The camera snapped back to a blushing Jaune.

"Haha okay, Rubes! Uh, I might bring a girl home too, love you, bye!"

Tears rolled down Mrs. Arc's face as her son awkwardly ended the message, she tried with every scrap of willpower not to break down sobbing.

"Iris, what's wrong?"

Her husband asked rubbing her shoulders.

"Our baby boy."

He voice was faint

"He's been seduced by some... some... Hussy!"

Iris cried out as she imagined what weird kinky stuff that goth floozy was doing to her sweet little prince.

"There's only one thing I can do."

Mama Arc said menacingly.

"Please don't threaten her with the Billhook."

Papa Arc pleaded, suddenly his wife turned on her heel.

"That's a great idea, honey! I'll get my old Billhook to scare off that Bimbo!"

Iris strode out of the room her heels barely touching the ground, her husband looked over to Saphron and her son who looked up at his mother.

"Mama, what's a bimbo?"

Saphron nearly spat out her coffee.

"Ack! Uhh, It doesn't mean anything, but you're gonna see Uncle Jaune soon!"

Saphron obfuscated.

Adrian gasped in excitement, Terra breathed some things never changed and she did not envy Jaune's girlfriend.
