#the return of the valkyrie

[7of9ers]

Coming this fall!

[venator-signum]

if carol is in a marriage of convenience with a guy (who seems pretty chill and also queer energy) does that mean that she could technically end up in a marriage of convenience with Valkyrie, king of asgard and do you think kamala has written that fic

Jaune finished healing Nora as Ren held onto her hand gently small tears running down his face.

Brilliant gold covered her body as her aura healed up the damage and burns done to her at last. Finally, all her bad wounds were healed aside from the nasty burn scar that marred her face.

Jaune: It's done, Ren. She'll be fine, but keep an eye out for her. She needs rest, and she is gonna need you to be their for her.

Ren looked relieved as he gave his brother a hug, but not before screams echoed the skies.

Jaune said nothing as he rose up from his spot.

Jaune: Neo, do not follow me, stay here, and watch over everyone here.

Neo looked like she wanted to protest and go tagging along, but the look in Jaune's eyes told her this wasn't a request.

Ren: Jaune...what are you going to do?

Jaune: This has to end Ren... I have to stop her.

Ren: Then get team RWBY to help you!

Jaune: I'm the reason she is doing this...all this death and destruction is on me.

Ren: Jaune-

Jaune: Ren.

Ren knew that tone of voice.

Jaune: It's going to be okay.

Ren: No, Jaune... not for you, it won't be.

Jaune said nothing as he looked at his friends once more before running off to the scene of the destruction.

-

Cinder was having a blast, and it was thanks to her darling, her purpose, and reason to live! Her dear Rusted Knight~ Her Darling Jaune~

She looked up at the sign, which read 'Tunnel of love' and then looked at the carnage I'm front of her, the carnage she caused.

Cinder: Ah~ just like old times!

Screams echoed around her as she threw fireball after fireball at innocent people trying to escape her as she made her way into the attraction, still throwing fire ball after fireball.

Cinder: Excuse me!

Cinder: Sorry bout that!

Cinder: Coming through!

More and more screams echoed in the tunnel, but Cinder didn't care as she just continued her onslaught, knowing her Rusted Knight would soon be here. It's best to roll out the red burnt carpet for her darling after all.

Cinder: woop, my bad!

Cinder: Big pardon!

Cinder: Excuse me once again!

-

Jaune made his way to the entrance of the tunnel as small fires could be seen everywhere, but more importantly, he could see lifeless bodies floating above the water.

Jaune just looked at them before making his way to his fated enemy.

-

Cinder kept firing away with reckless abandon towards innocent bystanders, running up onto a small boat that a scared couple left Cinder was about to fire more shot out but was stopped when she found her footing lost as Jaune lifted the boat up from under her toppling her over.

Jaune seizing the moment ran over the boat just as Cinder prepped to throw a fireball. He used his shield to block it the action deflecting the fire but causing him to drop his shield, but that didn't deter Jaune as he ran a fist into Cinder chest causing her to croak out in pain, Cinder looked up to see Jaune rushing in and grabbing the hem of her black dress.

Jaune: NO MORE!

With great strength, he tossed Cinder at the cave wall, her body hitting it hard as she fell down. Not wanting to give her any breathing room, Jaune rushed forward as Cinder slowly got up, delivering a powerful knee to her face.

Jaune: All the people I murdered by letting you live!

Jaune delivered a thunderous uppercut, sending Cinder falling on her back, but the previous fall maiden just smiled sadistically at him, nursing her jaw before spitting out blood.

Cinder: I never kept count.

Jaune just grabbed her by the collar again and hoisted her up.

Jaune: I did.

Cinder: I know.

As she said that, a small glass blade manifested in her human hand as Jaune had to let her go when she swiped at him.

Cinder: And I love you for it!

Charging at him with the little blade, Cinder swiped at him once again to which Jaune was easily able to dodge and land a hit to the back of her head but the action resulted in Cinder able to get a another swip at him to which she did as Jaune felt a searing pain as Cinder fell into the water as Jaune held his right side that was bleeding badly.

Cinder got up slowly from the water giggling as she did, Jaune breathed heavily as his vision was getting blurry.

Cinder: Oh Jauney~, it's finally here, isn't it? The moment we both dreamed about.

Suddenly, Cinder pounced on him, causing her to be on top of him, Jaune held her right hand which had the blade a few inches from his face, while he felt her Grimm hand dig around his throat.

Cinder: Oh, Jaune hun... don't tell me you're going to fall asleep before we finish...my my you have gotten old haven't you?

Jaune just moved his own right arm and struck Cinder in the face before using his legs to flip her over, getting up quickly before Cinder could recover, Jaune grabbed Cinders neck before shoving her to a wall.

Cinder: Not quiet how I imagined it, but

Jaunes grip on Cinder neck tightened further.

Cinder: We can still end on a high note!

Jaune's eyes widened in horror as more pain came to him as he felt Cinder little blade stab him multiple times as Cinder began laughing like crazy but Jaune knew what had to be done and so while being stabbed, Jaune moved his hands roughly turning Cinders head to the side as a sickening crack could be heard.

Cinders back fell against the wall before sitting up right. Jaune had broken her neck all but paralyzing her from the neck down.

A cry of fear made Jaune look in the direction to see a pair of bystanders running away from them.

Cinder: Oh sweetie...your In trouble now~

Jaune just breathed in slowly, even snapping her neck she still talking. Jaune walked up to the now cripple Cinder.

Cinder: Go ahead, baby~ say this has never happened to you before.

Jaune: Shut up.

Cinder: Make me~

Jaune just stared at her.

Cinder: Come on...finish me.

But Jaune didn't move.

Cinder just sighed.

Cinder: It doesn't matter... I win, Jauney...I made you lose control!

Cinder just let out a small but mocking laughter.

Cinder: And they'll kill you for it!

Laughing once more before giving one more psychotic grin, she spoke.

Cinder: See you...in HELL.

Then Cinder, through sheer will power, snapped her own neck.

Killing her.

Jaune just watched as the body slumped over to the side as Jaune let out his breath.

It was over.

Finally over.

Jaune took this moment and sat next to the corpse, trying to regain his strength and wait for his aura to start healing up his wounds. Taking in the few minutes of time he had left, Jaune shut his eyes.

Isn’t it interesting how even though Xena can’t remember Gabrielle or the woman she’s helped her become, she’s still a kind and soft-hearted person. Even when she can’t remember anything at all. She’s still someone who puts peace and compassion first.

Proving that she was never truly evil. She was just corrupted and twisted into being that way. It’s the same that she was in ‘When Fates Collide’ too because Caesar hadn’t betrayed her in that life yet. She was still a warrior in that alt-universe but she wasn’t ruthless or overly violent. She was kind and fair.

Not sure I’ll articulate this well. But it’s almost like her 10 year long darkness was merely just a blip in her life because she wasn’t meant to be that way in nature.

Xena might have turned good on her own but she couldn’t have possibly stayed on that path without Gabrielle’s influence and other positive influences in her life. Lao Ma. Hercules. Borias. But at the same time, she couldn’t have been persuaded to turn any way if she was truly evil. Nevertheless she had an epic life that maybe was just a little bit too exciting for her.

Xena’s heart was always compatible with Gabrielle’s because they were of one soul. Always. Past, present and future. Therefore, it makes sense to me that she changed her ways because her heart was always guiding her to until she finally met the one person who could stop her from fluctuating back and forth. That was a constant cornerstone to the truth of who she is.

So every time she lost her memory or sense of self or her history was re-written in another life or reality - that’s what seemed to have stuck. Her true nature. Which was much closer to the nature of Gabrielle than any of that 10 year long darkness that preceded her.

All it really proves is that she was never truly evil and it made her receptive to Gabrielle instead of resistant because there was no corruptive force within her yet.

That’s so interesting to me. That she did very evil things in her period of darkness but she wasn’t evil in nature. She was actually good and so she could be reached up until the point when it was far too late.

this is our furiosa

[farsight-the-char]

RWBY/Arkos AU where Jaune is a Vampire Exile, who decides to protect the innocent by feeding on monsters and villains....

Only he is bad at the fighting thing, and after a few bad fights gets rescued by Pyrrha (legendary moster hunter), who takes pity on him, helping him gain "Sanctioned" Vampire status, and eventually inviting him into her monster hunter Warband (after Jaune stabilizes/trains).

They fall in love and live happily.

...

Nora and Ren are already part of the Warband. Nora a demigod (The Storm) and Ren a mind-mage Tiefling.

if you were to redo void’s character animations and abilities what would you do with them?

aerial combat for sure. make use of those wings baby

generally attack animations more flashy and impacting/altering the appearance of surroundings and more than one function for ultimate button since a lot of recent valkyrie have this mechanism. could be used to trigger aerial combat mode like in flamescion's case

ultimate can stay. how about some sort of after-effect dealing additional aoe dmg tho

Listen ladies I’m so thankful for all your beauty and your muscles and I cannot WAIT to see how this insanity goes down 😌

[girl4music]

ODIN: “You don't like my friends, Brunhilda? They're my eyes and ears in the field. So what went wrong, Brunhilda? The plan was once Xena had the ring you were to attack her in a weakened state and take it!"

BRUNHILDA: "Yes, but there were complications."

ODIN: "Complications? My ravens they tell me you've fallen in love with her partner. Is it possible you thought that killing Xena would kill any chance you had with Gabrielle?"

BRUNHILDA: “Those mangy stool pigeons. Odin, I had to play up to Gabrielle so she wouldn't suspect my true motives."

ODIN: “You failed to bring the ring to me."

BRUNHILDA: “But I j-“

ODIN: “Silence! I`ll deal with you later. Xena has the power to kill gods. She's also capable of taking out her share of Valkyrie. But she has a weakness; her partner Gabrielle. Capture her and the ring is ours."

VALKYRIE: “And if she won't trade?"

ODIN: “Oh, she'll trade

*looks at Brunhilda cruelly*

or Gabrielle will be killed."

When people say Xena wasn’t main-text. The Ring Trilogy was. What was all this then? This is main-text!

There’s no sub-text in this conversation whatsoever.

It’s in the text that Brunhilda fell in love with Gabrielle and that she couldn’t kill Xena because Gabrielle would hate her and would never hook up with her.

Then she gets a clue and realizes enough is enough and starts siding with Xena to safeguard the ring that she puts in Gabrielle’s possession before her sacrifice in becoming an eternal flame that would prevent anybody but Gabrielle’s soulmate from entering because she knows that Gabrielle’s true love is Xena. But not before a verbal whiplashing from Gabrielle about it who states adamantly that she’s really not interested because she already has a partner in Xena.

All of that is main-text. I don’t know how else you could interpret it. The dialogue is literally “I am in love.” So if you don’t believe Xena and Gabrielle are canon, you’ve at least got to believe Brunhilda is. Because she is. It’s in the text itself that she is. There’s only so much deniability you can have with this show because some episodes really are flat out main-text. And I don’t understand why people still try to deny it because other than homophobia, what’s the problem?

no I will not be providing context
