Cute. Sweet. Lovely. Heartfelt. iejgieksishwgdisifkvo.

Just some words for this bonus. I think the kitten shows up in another bonus, but I don't remember if they officially adopt it or anything.

The Best Laid Schemes

The best laid schemes go oft astray. Poor Weiss, bet she’d been practicing lines in her head all day. And speaking of, Jaune certainly wasn’t too quick to recruit everyone else for his little trip, once he saw Weiss was onboard. Wouldn’t be surprised if he went through a line or two on the way over as well.

Even if they are now somewhat overshadowed by the immaculate story we’ve been blessed with in Volume 9, pre-Volume 9 White Knight moments are still very good. They’ll always have a place in my heart.

Some of you may have noticed me sneak in a not-so-subtle little Parks and Recreation Reference there. Love that show, and I quite like the idea of Weiss taking on a bit of a Leslie Knope edge while she tries to rebuild Atlas and Mantle, which makes Ruby Ann Perkins.

Hope you all enjoy this little comic I threw together yesterday!

My Hottest RWBY Take:

Vol 7 spoilers

Jaune shouldn’t have gotten his huntsman license.

All he did was attend less than a year of school, walk for a few months, fight some random Grimm and be there when some bad guys did stuff. Thats not enough to believe that he should be a huntsman when Coco and Velvet and shit were left with nothing after Beacon fell. Coco would rock his shit from episode 1.

Tbh, none of them were really ready but i guess its easier to have your allies be licensed so whatever, but Jaune Arc has never won a 1 v 1 with anyone in his life. He completely relies on his team and would be killed immediately if left by himself to go fight crime. And everyone else actually finished combat school before they got to Beacon. Soooo?..

Name one villian that Jaune could actually win against. Your silence is deafening.

i do find it interesting that ruby stepping back from crescent rose was INCREDIBLY concerning for everybody, but as soon as the town floods and Jaune screams out every single member of WBY goes to comfort him. because his pain is louder than ruby’s. like they literally immediately disregarded ruby’s incoming breakdown and concerning behaviour. They try to make jaune feel better by pretty much asking ruby to say something inspirational or optimistic. but she can’t because she literally just had a panic attack mid battle and refuses to use her very cherished weapon

im not saying this to hate on WBY because I know they’re going through it as well, I just thought this was interesting writing

I will be a Ruby defender until the day i die

I've always had complicated feelings towards jiang cheng as a character. On one hand, I feel sympathy for him, on the other, I can't help but be upset by the choices he made. However, reading remnants of filth volume 6 game me something to think about.

Although both murong lian and jiang cheng are very similar in many ways, they both harbored resentment toward their brothers, shaped by the influence of their mothers words, and they were both driven by a desire to restore their family's legacy, murong lian seeking prosperity for wanshu manor, and jiang cheng aiming to rebuild the yunmeng jiang clan. There´s one particular situation that completely differentiates them, and that is murong lian´s decision to confront the emperor in front of a room full of nobles and commanders, where he essentially cleared gu mang's name alongside mengze.

The emperor had tried to use his insecurities and distrust of gu mang to manipulate him, but murong lian couldn't fully trust either the emperor or gu mang. Despite this, he kept the ring with gu mang´s soul safe and returned it when zhou he sought to destroy his mind, allowing gu mang to endure just a little longer. When it mattered, murong lian stood by gu mang´s side.

"But as it happens, I have a brother. One who never forgot what should be done even when I trampled him into the mud. One who persevered in his ambition to protect the lives of chongua's civilians even when smeared in the filth of accusations. While I worried he would covet my position and usurp my inheritance, he endured untold humiliation for the good of the nation, never scheming for his own benefit. I feel like I´ve been fucking outdone"

On the other hand, although jiang cheng initially spoke up to defend the wen remnants and wei wuxian against the other clans, he was pressured to prioritize the survival of his family and clan after being reminded that the yunmeng jiang clan was still weak after the massacre at lotus pier. He tried, unsuccessfully, to convince wei wuxian to do the same. Jiang cheng didn't want to risk going against the majority while his position was still unstable. Like the emperor with murong lian, the other sects used jiang cheng's weakness and insecurities to turn him against wei wuxian. It wasn't until his sister's death that he completely destroyed any possibility of reconciling with wei wuxian, leading the first siege of the burial mounds, which resulted in the deaths of wei wuxian and the wen remnants.

He chose to step away from wei wuxian´s side. They never truly reconciled, as jiang cheng's pride still held him back after all those years. But it was too late anyway, because wei wuxian had already found someone who would always stand by his side, no matter what.

In short, it’s all Roselle’s fault! Klein heaved a sigh of relief as he couldn’t help but criticize the Emperor.

I'm always a fan of Klein dunking on people lmao

Just struck by the thought that Dazai got arrested in chapter 57 which means he’s literally been in prison for almost half of the series

Art Imitates Life

Had this idea in my back pocket for what must be a few months now, but after Akumu_Oukoku’s wonderful ‘Weiss is silly’ meme,  I thought I’d finally put this one together. That, and I wanted to make a little something to celebrate White Knight’s glorious victory in Ship Wars 8! The hordes of r/fnki well and truly descended upon the tournament, and all the better for White Knight!

I think there were a few folks on the regular sub that hadn’t quite realized just how popular White Knight had become within the community, but fnki itself has turned into something of a fortress for the ship, and the results of the tourney speak for themselves. White Knight really wound up dominating, becoming champion by an overwhelming margin, and with just Lancaster and Nuts & Dolts putting up strong competition in the previous rounds.

I’m impressed, and super stoked. It’s really something special seeing White Knight come out so strong after so many years treated as a pariah, having never before made it past the first round but now becoming the champion. The stars had aligned, really. The final round taking place on Weiss’ birthday, White Knight winning the championship being the perfect gift. Volume 9 had given the ship strong foundations to stand on. We can see that expressed in not only the various memes put out over time, but also in the A-Jaune-da alliance and numerous comments inundating the polls in order to promote the ship. White Knight shippers really had an incredibly strong messaging campaign this tournament, I might say no one else came close, and we always kept it positive. Everyone involved should feel proud.

Now, as for this meme, I chose these six characters (and Weiss) because I found it rather appropriate that they have all to some extent shipped White Knight in canon. Jaune, of course, is an obvious one. The story is littered with examples for him all the way through. Similarly, Weiss has been growing fonder of Jaune throughout the show, but Volume 9 saw her interest revealed in a very pronounced manner. Nora has the most tenuous claim here, having shared few moments with Weiss. However, Nora has a moment in Volume 5 where she teases Weiss about liking Jaune’s nickname, going on to tease the Ice Queen about her thawed heart.

Oscar, of course, gets his absolutely stoked look that he throws at Jaune when Weiss accepts Jaune’s invitation to the movies. Like, Oscar is just so happy for his big bro. Blake has a moment or two over the course of the show, notably her happy little glance between Jaune and Weiss at the Argus reunion, her smug look at the ~mature~ line, and how she perks up at Weiss’ giggle with Jaune about his restored youth. No real surprise there, since Blake is actually Jaune’s offscreen super-secret best friend. Yang herself throws a little dating advice Jaune’s way, and gets her ‘one day’ line, when our boy was down in the dumps following a rejection or two. She points out to Weiss that her harshness rejecting Jaune is the sort of thing that earned her the Ice Queen nickname. And, like Blake, Yang gets her own smug look following the ~mature~ line. Then there’s my most controversial addition to this list, Pyrrha. After all, she did walk Jaune through how to ask Weiss to the dance.

Yes, this was all an excuse for me to make a post about every little scrap from the show suggesting the characters ship White Knight. If anyone can think of any more, feel free to share. Maybe Cindere killing Jaune’s rival love interests, yet her attempts on Weiss’ life seem to have only helped Jaune and Weiss grow closer, hmmm. Well, I hope you all enjoy, I had good fun making it!

Snippet from Privacy- Chapter 18: Secrets

Ruby x Jaune

“So, how did this happen?” Blake asks, holding an arm across Yang’s neck to hold her back as the others gather around.

Secret room, alcohol, s*x, s*x, threeways, Weiss-

“We hung out one night while everyone else was busy, and just kinda hit it off.” I reply, being as vague as possible.

“6 months ago.” Yang growls quietly, shooting me a look.

Sighing, I step towards her and pull her boiling frame into a hug. She pauses in shock, before rolling her eyes and accepting the embrace.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, it wasn’t personal. I just liked having a secret, nice thing that was mine. Keeping our relationship separate from everything else just… helped take my mind off things.” I explain softly, resting my chin on her shoulder.

We pull apart and Yang takes a deep breath, washing away her anger. And after a moment, she opens her eyes and smiles at me, and then him. But then her eyes narrow and she rocks to one side, crossing her arms with a look of suspicion.

“You two have just been holding hands, right?” She interrogates, looking Jaune up and down.

“Of course…” Jaune grits through his teeth, avoiding eye contact.

“Pft nup.” I laugh smugly, returning to his side and holding his arm, lacing my fingers through his.

“Ruby!” They both hiss at me.

“What? I’m an adult, I can do what I want.” I shrug with a smirk.
