Harem King Championship
Sun: Good evening Guys, Gals and Non Binary Pals. This is annual Harem King Championship. I'm your host, Sun Wukong, part time Huntsman, full time rizzler.
Neptune: And joining him is me, Neptune Vasilias. N of team SSSN, but N of "Not getting a partner."
Sun: It's good to be in Vacuo. Atmosphere is hot and nominees even hotter.
Neptune: So let's introduce them.
Sun: Nominee number 1. You may know him as J from JNPR, but he is so much more. Jovial jock with jaw dropping junk making you jealous cause ya know your lady is gonna join him... Jaune Arc.
*applause*
Jaune: Thank you Vacuo.
Neptune: Nominee number 2. *whispers* Sun, paper just says racist asshole.
Sun: Dude, improvise.
Neptune: *clears throat* Bad boy of Beacon. Watch out for your girl, cause ears aren't only things he likes to pull. Master of cucking, Cardin Winchester.
*crickets*
Sun: Nominee number 3. She has a cold heart, but her caress will melt you. Every maiden will be hers. Don't think, just obey her... Cinder Fall.
*applause*
Cardin: Aw come on, she is literally a terrorist.
Cinder: You'd be surprised how far can being hot carry you.
Neptune: And finally, nominee number 4. This kitty has claws, and mice aren't the only things she is hunting. If you ever join her harem you'll never be left out cause clones are name of her game. On a hunt for title is... Blake Belladonna.
*applause*
Blake: This is for all Faunus Remnant wide.
Sun: Now that we know contestants, it's time to introduce the jury.
Neptune: As much as I'd like to check out some ladies, we have experts for that.
Sun: Jury member number 1. This hunky dad is more than it meets the eye. Partners are temporary, rizz is eternal, Taiyang Xiao Long.
Neptune: Jury member number 2. Some say he has gone through puberty while he was fetus. He has been bagging waitresses for longer than some of us have been alive, Qrow Branwen.
Sun: And finally... jury member number 3.
Neptune: All time record holder of Harem King Championship. She conquered men, women, Grimm and Kingdoms. Let's have a warm welcome for... Salem.
Sun: Wait, really?
Neptune: It's not like we can kick her out.
Tai: Didn't you kill my wife?
Qrow: Yeah, what the hell.
Salem: Let's keep it professional.
Sun: And now a commercial break.
*in Cinder's camp*
Cinder: Oh I can hardly wait to crush them all.
Mercury: Why am I even here?
Cinder: Because Emerald decided saving the world is more important than my special night.
Mercury: It's just a silly Harem competition.
Cinder: Watch your mouth Mercury. This is not just a silly competition, it's a game of life. If I can't rule as Harem queen, then what chance do I have to claim all Maiden powers. I will have this crown and I will take everything.
*in Jaune's camp*
Nora: You got this Fearless Leader, kick their ass.
Ren: Don't be nervous Jaune, odds are still stacked in our favor.
Jaune: Thanks guys. Can't believe I'm to favorite to win it all. This could be my moment, finally accomplish something and beat Cinder.
*in Blake's camp*
Yang: Jaune seems to be the main favorite to win it.
Blake: Oh don't worry, it's all under control.
Neptune: And now jury will rate our contestants.
Sun: Each jury member will give a rating from 1 to 5. Winner will be the person with highest number of points.
Neptune: Let's get ready to rizzleeeee.
Sun: First to be rated will be Jauneee.
Tai: I give him 4. He has that timeless look, muscular blonde with blue eyes. I could easily see him seduce at least 2 partners with that look. Just stay away from my daughters... and stay away from shapeshifting raven haired femme fatales...
Qrow: Ok Tai, let us continu...
Tai: Trust me, sex might be good but divorce makes it not worth it.
Yang: Could you stop!
Qrow: Sigh... Ok, I give Jaune 3. Look is important, but kid, you lack confidence. You need to work on your game. I'd say your Bi appeal is also kind of weak. It might be controversial, but I'd say true harem king can seduce partners of all genders.
Tai: Was that necessary?
Qrow: What, you can talk about banging my sister live but I can't mention some gay experimentation?
Salem: Men are utterly hopeless. Arc, I give you 4 as well. Your appearance is impeccable for the role and your approach is refreshing. However, you remind me of certain someone, so that lowers overall rating.
Neptune: That gives Jaune Arc final score of 11.
Sun: Not bad, not bad. Let's see can next contestant, Cardin top this score.
Tai: Cardin eh. I give 2, and that's mostly because of appearance. I don't like you and I don't like your approach. Also get a job, NTR fics are not funny.
Qrow: I give him 3. Being a bad boy is not... bad. You've got guts, but if you wanna ask a girl out just do it, don't act like a brat. Your Bi appeal could do some work. And fuck what everyone says, cucking is positive trait for Harem king.
Tai: Qrow!
Salem: Shush now. I give Winchester boy 3. Such a contrast between appearance and behavior. Knight should not act like that, yet in some regards that makes him more attractive.
Neptune: Cardin takes second place with 8 points.
Sun: Oof, I guess he really peaked in high school.
Cardin: Behind Jauney Boy, aw come on.
Neptune: And now one of the favorites, Cinder Fall.
Tai: 5!
Qrow: She tried to kill you daughter multiple times.
Tai: Sigh... 4. Too many red flags.
Qrow: I give her 5.
Tai: And you gave me shit for rating her 5.
Qrow: Hey, I'm being objective here. Look, I don't like her, but she is smoking hot, she has domineering attitude and can seduce you in five seconds no matter who and what you are.
Mercury: Well, it looks like you are getting your little trophy after all.
Cinder: Of course, did you really think I'd finish behind likes of Arc?
Salem: Oh Cinder, such a deceptive case. On the surface you possess all qualities of true Harem queen. Less informed individual might even think you are worthy successor to my legacy... but you are not.
Mercury: Uh oh.
Cinder: Shut up.
Salem: No true harem queen has a diary beneath her pillow, hoping for a dashing Prince to marry her. No true harem queen hugs aforementioned pillow and pretends its her Prince. No true...
Cinder: Stop, stop, stop.
Salem: My, my, fine then. I give her 2. Have to cut her some slack.
Cinder: 2?!
Mercury: *giggles* You are tied with Jaune now.
Cinder: Are you kidding me?!
Sun: Well, joke or not, that's 11 points.
Neptune: We have a tie for first place now.
Cinder: Mercury! Find the tiebreaker rules.
Mercury: Screw you, this is too funny.
Jaune: We are tied with Cinder.
Nora: I'll check the tiebreaker rules.
Ren: What about Blake?
Nora: What about her? *snorts* It's not like Fearless Leader is ever gonna lose to her.
*five minutes later*
Nora: Stop the count, stop the count!
Jaune: How did she whoop our ass this hard? This makes no sense!
Cinder: Ha ha, you lost!
Cardin: Nice one Jauney Boy.
Jaune: You lost as well!
Cinder: Unlike you I don't care about this stupid competition.
Mercury: Cinder you are literally crying.
Cinder: *sniffles* Shut up.
Jaune: But hold on, how did I lose this?
Blake: Because I'm the true Harem protagonist of this show.
Jaune: That can't be. I have... Pyrrha and.... That can't be.... What about Mantle moms?
Blake: Can you name any of them?
Jaune: Of course I can. Ca...
Blake: Without fanon or headcanons.
Jaune: Shit...
Blake: See, told you.
Jaune: But wait, that just means I don't have a harem. What about you?
Blake: Yang, Ilia, Sun, Adam and probably half a dozen off screen simps. Face it Jaune, I'm a genderbent Kirito with cat ears.
Sun: And with this, Blake Belladonna is crowned as a Harem queen of Remnant.
Blake: Thank you Vacuo, thank you Remnant. I dedicate this victory to all Faunus Remnant wide. For far too long have we been reduced to secondary harem members, mere fetish fuel. But now, we rule, we too can be Harem rulers.
Cinder: Fuck this.
Mercury: Where are you going?
Cinder: I'm in need of alcohol and large huggable pillow.
Ren: There is always the next year Jaune.
Jaune: Screw this, I'm getting a black coat and katana... and a gun.
*later that night*
Yang: Can't believe I'm dating Remnant's Harem queen.
Blake: *giggles* I was always a Harem queen. Did you pick up the money?
Yang: I did. If you knew you were gonna win it, then what was the point of the plan?
Blake: To inflate betting odds in Jaune's favor. That made me a dark horse...
Yang: More like... dark cat.
Blake: Aw you. That made me a dark cat of the competition, which allowed me to win ridiculous amount of money by betting on myself.
Yang: Still, was that money really worth writing 500 Jaune harem fics?
Blake: Of course it was. Besides, I didn't really write them. I just changed the name of the protagonist of my existing harem fics to Jaune.... 500 times.
Yang: So devious.
Blake: Indeed. Now kneel before your Harem queen.

Rwby headcanon #9
Ruby, yang, tai and qrow all have a collective family movie night, when their schedules align
Ruby's usually in charge of snacks, while tai is in charge of dinner.
Yang in qrow are in charge of picking and setting up the movie per the others' recommendation and lounge room.
And sometimes, if the time allows it, ruby and yang will invite blake and weiss to tag along while it was weird for blake and yang to spending time with ruby and yangs dad out right, tai very much welcomed the two with open arms just happy that both his girls had friends they were close enough to, to consider them family.

You think Taiyang has a favorite child?
šIf it isnāt my favorite tagger back againš
Thank you for asking this, this is actually something Iāve been desperately wishing for an excuse to talk about because my defense for it isnāt great
Anyway back to the question sorry
Yes I do 100% believe he has a favorite
Thereās no doubt in my mind itās ruby
I think he loves them both of course obviously but he FOR SURE favors Ruby
We know from his interactions with Yang he tends to project onto her things about Raven that arenāt necessarily true for her the way he talks when they spar like her whole thing is anger and strength and that focusing on that is her biggest weakness, which is true for Raven, however yangs problem is her self sacrificing nature and obviously he sees Raven in her even more cause they look similar and itās just.. sheās not someone tai has purely positive feelings for considering all the betrayal and abandonment not that he doesnāt still love her at all but you know
He definitely projects things about himself onto her as well and considering NONE of the fucking STQR family likes themselves ESPECIALLY not taiyang ā11 year long depression napā xiao long and so heās got that against her and then she got herself abandoned putting more fuel to that particular fire
And I think while they were dealing with the death of summer when Yang started taking on roles she was too young to take he justā¦ let herā¦ and then eventually those things were just her job as the oldest and a lot of things became her job and he kinda slipped into seeing her as more help with Ruby then someone he was supposed to be raising
And like even when he recovers he had to get back into parenting which is hard so he probably started out just doing stuff that were already needed, and Ruby was her own problem cause she needed stuff but only really accepted getting help from Yang at least emotionally depending on how bad you believe taiās shut down to be and otherwise sheād get things from qrow whenever he wasnāt on missions from Oz so she was just hard to get to accept anything from him
Yang despite being very supportive of the idea of him recovering and finally someone helping her out a lot and having a parent at all againā¦ she is incredibly independent and doesnāt really seem to need anything that he knows how to give and she also genuinely probably just doesnāt know how to have a parent anymore, sheās so used to being the parent and she doesnāt remember getting to really be the kid
So sheās just kinda reduced to third parent
Thereās also the fact that Ruby looks exactly like summer who he did leave off with good positive feelings for and then sheās all thatās left of her
AND Rubyās the youngest speaks for itself possibly got that āguest in the houseā treatment youngest sometimes get where they arenāt treated as much as part of the family and more of a guest which is nice but isolating even if she tried to help Yang with chores Yang would get in trouble for having her do it kinda thing
However I do think that tai wouldāve wanted Yang to back off of raising Ruby so much so he could be her dad and she would maybe accept him as that more hence like the Ruby queendom things of how she wonāt be there for her forever but Ruby doesnāt want him to and Yang doesnāt fully trust him to
IDK THO just messy unorganised family dynamic thoughts
IN SUMMARY!!!:
I think Rubyās his favorite I think he loves them both but is struggling to parent in wake of the lose of his wife and struggling to relearn how to do it after his recovery and Yang struggles to even be parented and they speak NONE of these emotions to each other cause theyāre allergic to talking about their feelings ever

RWBY X Transformers Partnerships 4: Ruby Rose and Smokescreen - Destiny's Children
"It's just so confusing. First I'm told I have this special power to incinerate Grimm with my eyeballs, then I find out it means I have a destiny to be some legendary warrior, and now I learn my uncle is my dad and my dad is my uncle, and I - I just don't know what to do, Smokescreen."
"I get it, Ruby. Really, I do. Look, last year, when Optimus and I were alone for a while, and it looked like he wasn't gonna make it, the Matrix...the Matrix chose me as his successor. It uh, is a divine power source that empowers a worthy Cybertronian with the power of all the Primes before him, and gives him access to the previous Primes for guidance and quick healing. Before that, I used to think - no, I knew - that there was something big and important in my future, but...I always felt it would be simpler, like becoming a famous general. But when the Matrix chooses you, either immediately or for the future, it's a permanent mark, even if someone else is ultimately chosen. So, whether I like it or not, whether I or anyone else thinks I'm worthy, I'm a designated candidate for my race's future."
"That...really IS scary. How - how do you DEAL with something like that?"
"Honestly? Think through your actions more carefully. Don't worry about how your deeds reflect on your image around others, but remember that whatever you do will shape your growth in your fate. You don't need to be rigid, or anxious, or let it all eat away at you. Just...take a step at a time, correct your footing when you stumble, and push on. It's all we can do."
"....You're smart, Smokescreen. Thanks. Um, I don't want to sound immature, or ungrateful, but...could we, talk about something else? Or find something else to do? Like, drive through Patch, or kill some Grimm?"
*laughs* "Don't worry, Ruby, we've got time before that responsibility is on our shoulders. Granted, I don't know how far away it is, but we have time to be kids. I say we make the most of it."
"Thanks, Smokey - um, is it okay if I call you that?"
"Sure, but since it's my nickname from my 'battle uncle' Wheeljack, can I call you 'Rubes'?"
*giggles* "Sure thing!"
"Then let's see what this island's like, Rubes!"
Smokescreen's no stranger to change, or rolling with life's punches when a sucker punch comes his way. After all, he'd gone from the thieves' den that was the Mithril Sea to the hardcore Elite Guard enlistment service without batting an optic. Moving to Iacon afterwards was a bit of a shock, but that was mostly because Smokescreen had only briefly seen the city before being overwhelmed by the sheer number of data-scrolls within the Hall of Records, which would have captivated his long-buried interest in reading if he weren't so impatient to play his part in the War. Landing on Earth was less of an event to process and more of a joyous delight, as not only did he get to meet his hero Optimus Prime and his team, but he also got to be on the planet that brimmed with light and color that Alpha Trion had spoiled him rotten with on stories from their time in the Hall.
Although his zeal was greater than his rationality at the time, Smokescreen absorbed everything he could about the planet and his new team. He learned human anatomy and fragility from a hovering Ratchet (who's ever-present wrench may have inspired his good retention on the subjects), the Earth's fauna and flora from Bumblebee, cycles and events from Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, an update of the war efforts from Ironhide, and Earth culture from Miko. To be quite honest, Smokescreen trailed after Optimus like a lost cyber-pup, soaking up his words and wisdom while memorizing his fighting techniques. Wheeljack, upon their first meeting, made quite the impression, even though he'd read every article and battle strategy of the Wreckers the moment Smokescreen had enlisted. Desperate to prove himself to Wheeljack (and impress "dad", as Miko had later referred to Optimus), Smokescreen emulated the Wrecker-scientist's tactics and guile while shadowing him at the base and on missions.
That ended preemptively after Smokescreen had tailed Wheeljack during the Wrecker's vendetta against the Constructicons, which resulted in Smokescreen narrowly avoiding death, Wheeljack's isolation to base after a HEAVY reprimanding from both Ratchet and Optimus, while Ironhide had taken him to the side while dragging the twins along with him. To his surprise, Smokescreen had only gotten a mild scolding from Ironhide (a noisy scolding - it WAS Ironhide, after all); once the bodyguard had finished, he'd told him to focus less on proving himself to others and more on bettering himself for himself. To that end, Ironhide tasked Sideswipe and Sunstreaker with his training and integration to both the team and Earth. Smokescreen was grateful for that, as it helped ground him and allowed him to shake off his starry-eyed imaginings that he'd brought with him to Earth - and in the process, gave him older brothers, something he never realized he'd wanted.
So those past experiences, coupled with downtime spent with Miko and her various manga, anime, and comic reading sessions, made adjusting to Remnant and the mutant-like humans a walk in the park for Smokescreen.
It surprised no one that Smokescreen could adapt as well as he did, and it was quite easy for him to do so himself. Smokescreen just heard one briefing on Aura, Semblances, Dust, Faunus, and the kingdoms before quickly categorizing it as, "a world populated by Marvel Comics' mutants, with a third of normal humans, mixed with a half-animal offshoot species, and stuffed into medieval fiefdoms spruced up with Ancient Cybertronian tech and all purpose rocks of concentrated element juice."
Although their new friends at the Xiao Long cabin gave him varying looks of utter bafflement, Miko's thumbs up, combined with Optimus' smile, Sideswipe's grin, Irohide's facepalm, and the rare image of Wheeljack's "I don't know how, but that made sense" expression (matched by his even rarer head scratching motion), satisfied Smokescreen's suspicions that he'd summed up the world in one sentence.
Hanging around the cabin, while uneventful, was a pleasant experience for Smokescreen. He got to know Tai, a retired Huntsman who gives him advice on improving his fighting style. The man is rather laid-back, and took his enthusiasm in stride. Although he can't yet see it, Yang is apparently a hard-hitting party girl, though from what he does see as she spends time with Ironhide and Sideswipe, Smokescreen could believe it. Neptune is like the best of both Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, if you asked him. The guy had Sunstreaker's knowledge of his good looks and versatility, but Sideswipe's easygoing personality and grit when the chips were down. Smokescreen liked hanging out with him, Yang, and Sideswipe when they had the time, though he often feels like a third wheel, and thus began checking in with the others more often.
Mercury is quiet and lax, though having grown up seeing 'Bots with that attitude, Smokescreen knew the older boy was an experienced fighter, and watching for the slightest hint of a threat. He respected that, though recalling what that type of hypervigiliance had done to the processors of his old contemporaries in the Mithril Sea, Smokescreen attempted to bond with him to help him "chill out" as Miko was fond of saying. However, whenever he reads his vitals and sees his heart rate picking up and a flash of annoyance hidden in his eyes, Smokescreen backs off and sees fit to distract Miko when she's eager for socializing once out of Ironhide's sight.
Qrow is an interesting fellow. He's got the same swagger and presence as Wheeljack, who he tends to hang around, and that makes it easy for Smokescreen to bond with him. Wheeljack gets a kick out of their interactions, and although the man's Semblance is apparently bad luck, he couldn't care any less, even if it causes a tree to fall on his foot. That seems to endear himself to Qrow, and judging by the looks he sometimes shoots the other humans, Smokescreen's willing to bet that the Huntsman is lonelier than he lets on.
It's Ruby he feels a connection with the most, though.
The girl wakes up and about draws a blank when she gets told about Beacon Academy's destruction and her powers, never mind learning about "alien robots". She's confused and scared, and that primarily drives her into the arms of Tai and Mercury (not necessarily in that order, he muses.) However, Smokescreen wants to know her more, and for that, he appoints himself as her liaison to the Autobots, telling her about the War and the factions, while also listening to her gush about weapons and explain some of the Dust she uses. Even though he knows when to leave her alone with Mercury, who he's become certain is her boyfriend, Smokescreen feels happy. She's a sweet kid, and they're so similar, it's no real difficulty for them to get along, especially given her father gets along with Wheeljack so much.
He's just as shocked as Wheeljack to learn that she was unaware of this familial fact.
Maybe he just wasn't around at the right times, but Smokescreen could have sworn on the All-Spark that every time she said "Dad", she'd meant Qrow. The deathly silence and betrayed look on her face broke his Spark, and somehow, he understood that she needed a friend. A friend who understood what it was like to have your identity crash and burn in front of you.
Although she took off at Warp Factor Ten, Smokescreen wasted no time transforming and driving after her. About a quarter of a mile away he realized he'd left Mercury in the dust, and though he felt bad about doing that to him, he knew he had to follow Ruby before she completely broke down.
He followed her trail to a cliff edge, where there also seemed to be a grave. Smokescreen rolled to a stop a short distance away, transformed, and gave her a few minutes to collect herself. When she had, Ruby still burst into tears. She ranted about it all - her Silver Eyes, the loss of her school, that her family had lied to her, and that now aliens were on her planet - it wasn't fair, they both knew that, but she still needed to release the thoughts and pain, and Smokescreen let her do that.
Once she finished and tried to get her sobbing under control, Smokescreen felt his optics drawn to the water. It wasn't the water that drew his attention, or the numerous other pieces of foliage and space he stared at that garnered his direction since events from a year ago. It was that they could be a fixed point of his thoughts and fears, and a location to let his mind wander into both the past and the future.
And so, he told her about how Optimus almost died that day.
As Ruby stared at him, listening in what he could only guess was morbid curiosity and shock, he told her how Optimus nearly died, and how the Matrix had chosen Smokescreen to be his successor. It didn't matter that he lived, or that Smokescreen, in all his years of daydreaming, had never once entertained the thought of Primacy, he was forever marked as a candidate. Even now, the raw terror that that had instilled in him - both Optimus' close call and being chosen as a future Prime - was a visceral feeling etched into his chassis. But even though Ruby was the first soul he ever told about the experience, Smokescreen felt a weight being lifted from his shoulders. And once he was done, he knew how to finish his speech:
"Just because you're destined for something bigger than you ever anticipated, doesn't mean you have to shoulder it alone. It doesn't mean you're alone anymore than when your family is someone you didn't expect. Qrow is your father, Optimus is my uncle, and we didn't expect that. And regardless of our heritage, we're chosen for something bigger than ourselves. But that doesn't have to define us, or drive us to walk alone. Sharing a burden, or a fear, or a dream - that's what's important. And who we share it with gives us strength, not isolation."
The silence after is heavy, but hopeful. And when she embraces him, Smokescreen knows he did the right thing.
Smokescreen and Ruby develop a bond much like the split-Spark Lambo brothers. They're always on the same wavelength, tuned into each other's emotional needs, and can warn the other of danger moments before disaster. They have differing fighting styles, but enough similarity that Smokescreen learns from her sharpshooting skills while Ruby picks up his adaptive close combat techniques. When not spending time with their friends and family, they can be found driving around together, killing Grimm, or chatting by the shoreline. Ruby only wants two specific people to be with her on the cliff edge where her mother is buried after their first heart-to-heart, and although it takes a while for Qrow to work up the courage to visit and spend time with his daughter and late wife, Smokescreen respects her wishes and has no problem letting Mercury and Qrow keep her company.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh boy, I swear, I thought I'd have this out sooner. Man, when life kicks you in the teeth, it kicks hard!
Anyway, these two were a pair I had in mind ages ago. I love Smokescreen, and he's the only one who would understand how she'd feel (Hot Rod fans, do not interact; it will be a bloody fight we get into.) As for their team name, while I do hate that Arcee used it to pick on Smokescreen, "Destiny's Children" does fit them. They're both young, both destined for greatness that overwhelms them, but still push on in spite of those fears.
Well, that's all for now. Just pray I can keep this up, peeps. I didn't expect to be this far behind!
Be seeing y'all!

He is The One.
Jaune picks up Yang at her house for their date.
Tai: I want her home before midnight.
Jaune: But sir, you already own her home.
Tai:...
Tai: *looks at her daughter* If you don't sleep with him, I will.

RWBY Folks & More
I will be posting the RWBY Parents, unfortunately I will not be posting Weiss's parents as I never got around to getting them designed but you'll still get to see Yang's, Ruby's and Blake's. As always these designs and art we're done by KosaTLK Let's start off with Blake's parents. Ghira and Kali Belladonna.
Next we have Yang & Ruby's Folks. So everyone say hello to Taiyang, Raven and Summer Rose.
I will say I was iffy on Summer but i generally don't hate it. Now let me add some other babies like Qrow and Salem:
Salem is the only one who isn't drawn and designed by Kosa, no Salem was designed by a friend of mine by the name of Roifore:
The little lion grimm cub was done by Firehart95. This art above though was done by Jani235. If you want to see the grimm like lion in his full glory this is his full look. It's a design I paid to have done, not official.
As I said earlier please no reposting. Reblogging art here is fine but do not repost these works anywhere. I have paid for these in one way or another.
