Jaune: *worry* "Pyrrha?"

Pyrrha: "Jaune, you really don't want me to answer that question."

Jaune: "Pyr, that's vague."

Pyrrha: *exhales* "Okay...I will not hurt your younger sisters or Adrian. There, that specific?"

Jaune: *pales* "...."

Why Pyrrha isn't the leader

Jaune and Ruby in leadership class with Ruby have trouble picking her second.

Ruby: Why is this so hard?

Jaune: *who's already done* Having trouble Ruby?

Ruby: Yeah like Wiess has been taught by some of the best tutors in the world.

Jaune: But can be really difficult to work with.

Ruby: Yeah, so do I pick Yang or Blake?

Jaune: I'd go with Blake if you're out of action Yang is probably not going to be in the right headspace to lead.

Ruby: Bit of an understatement, So I'm guessing you picked Pyrrha right.

Jaune: Nope, Ren is calm, collected and is used to fighting with Nora so minimal loss of team cohesion.

Ruby: oh that makes sense. *sees Nora's name under Ren's* *grabs Jaune's classwork* wait you picked a third?

Jaune: Yeah team JNPR did a leadership hierarchy after the first leadership class. We do a strategy meeting after leadership class, Although we will likely do a group study season after this class.

Ruby: Oh that's not a bad idea I'll try that with my team, it'd give me a chance to explain my reasoning. But why is Nora in the third spot?

Jaune: Well if both me and Ren are down then things have gone badly wrong and unfortunately Nora knows how to deal with that.

Ruby: Ok but what about Pyrrha?

Jaune: *thousand-yard stare* She can never be in charge.

[reashot]

There's Absolutely Nothing Between Us

Nora: *yawn* time to hit the hay guys.

Ren: Yes it been a long day, let's go to bed and wake up early tomorrow.

Nora: There better be pancakes tomorrow. If you want me to wake up early.

Ren: Of course. I'll be making plenty for everyone. Including for you Nora.

Nora: Yay!

Pyrrha: Allow me to turn off the light then. *click*

Jaune: Thanks Pyhr.

Ruby: Yeah thanks Pyhrra.

Pyhrra: No problem Ruby.

Ren: Good night everyone.

Nora: Night, night. Don't let the mistralian bed bug paralyze and eat you... I'm not joking those things are huge.

Pyhrra: Good night Nora, Ren, good night Jaune.

Jaune: Good night everyone.

Ruby: Good night team JNPR. *snuggled up to Jaune.*

PNR: Good night Ruby..... Wait?

The other three members of team JNPR then turns their attention towards their leader's bed and to their surprise they saw Ruby sleeping beside Jaune. But none more so than Pyhrra herself. Without a second thought she uses her semblance to turns the lights on.

Pyhrra: R-Ru-Ruby w-what are you doing here?!

Ruby: *yawn* I thought we're about to go to sleep.

Jaune: Shh... Go back to sleep, okay.

Ruby: Mmkay... *nuzzle Jaune*

Ren: Ruby what are you doing here?

Nora: What. Can't you guess Ren? She's doing one of them "Yobai" thing or Nightly visit to get busy with our leader.

Pyhrra: Yobai! R-ruby you would do such a thing? Y-you can't Ruby you're still too young!!!

Ren: Look let's not jump to conclusions. Let's just ask her?

Ruby: *groan*I just want to sleep together with Jaune. What's wrong with that?

Pyhrra: W-what's wrong with that? You're a girl sharing a bed with a boy! That's indecent!!!

Ruby: But there's nothing wrong with sharing a bed if it's between friend right?

Nora: Oohhh. I never thought about it like that. Ren, what do you say we cuddle in bed like what friend do?

Ren: Please don't joke around Nora. And Ruby, you do know that this is not your room right?

Pyhrra: Don't get this the wrong way. It's not like we don't like you or anything. It's just we don't think it's appropriate for you to be here this late at night and in the same bed as a boy...

Ruby: But-but I'm already here and I'm already in blanky mode. Surely even the great Pyhrra Nikos will uphold the great "blanky mode convention."

Pyhrra: What?! There's no such thing as a blanky mode convention. You just made it up!

Nora: On the contrary Pyhr-Phyr the blanky mode convention is an old Valean convention as old as time itself. It stipulates that anyone that engages in "blanky mode" cannot have their blanky removed unless they want to taste the "purple nurple."

Pyhrra: The "Purple Nurple" Oh my is this true?

Ren: *sigh* it's not Pyhrra... She's just messing with you.

Pyhrra: W-what!!! How could you Nora. I almost believed it! A-and Ruby you can't stay here and that's final.

Ruby: No!!! *snuggled up to Jaune even harder*

Jaune: L-look guys I get that Ruby is not supposed to be in here, but this is already in the middle of the night we can't just kick her out.

Ren: Look Jaune, I get that you and Ruby are dating...

Jaune&Ruby: *snort* Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!

Pyhrra: What's so funny?

Ruby: *wipes tear* Oh that's rich. Me and Vomit Boy? Yeah Right.

Jaune: I can say the same to you Crater Face.

Pyhrra: B-but you're sharing the same bed with Ruby!!!

Jaune: We're just good friend that's all.

Ruby: Yeah I did say that we're just friend and it's normal for friend to sleep together.

Nora: Oh that is just bull.... *bang*

The door to their room violently bursts opens revealing an extremely pissed off Weiss by the doorframe.

Weiss: Dunce, where?

NPR: *points towards Jaune's bed*

Weiss: Tchh! C'mon dum-dum let's get back.

Ruby: N-no I'm in blanky mode. You can't make me. I'm protected under international convention.

Weiss: Then call me a war criminal because I'll be dragging you back whether you like it or not. And Jaune don't try to interfere. *literally drags Ruby away*

Ruby:

No please stop, I want to stay here. I don't want to go back!

Weiss: Keep struggling you will only making it worse. And Jaune before I forget. If see you in bed with Ruby again I will kill you... Do I make myself clear?

Jaune: Y-yes. Of course. Crystal clear.

Pyhrra: S-so Jaune now that Ruby is gone, do you want me to sleep next to you?

Ruby: *runs up to Jaune* Nooo!!! I wanna sleep together with Jaune.

Weiss: Get back here you dork!!!

Nora: Just admit you two are dating.

Jaune&Ruby: We're Not Dating!

[phalangemedes]

Do you ever wonder if Pyrrha looked at the Sixth and wanted to help more tangibly? If she saw them chipping away at the marble of each other, until the first half hewn, ragged edges of Paul began to emerge, and was desperate to stop it, to fix it, to do something?

She could have taken him on, there was room in a body that had become so suddenly empty. Lonely. That body, that brain, that had been home and prison both.

Do you think it scared her, to think she could offer and he could accept, that she could be back at square one as the passenger in a meat suit? Did she think that when she first saw Paul, they first looked at one another as strangers? What if, what if, what if?

What did it do to her to have Camilla in her lap, every pore leaking pink as necromancy raged through her cells with the heat death of thanergy, having Cam smile, happy, content. Did it do something horrible to her heart? To see that they were so utterly beyond broken without each other that the thought of a death, a whispered, unknown and unknowing togetherness, was better?

After she'd lost her own Other.

The Eightfold Word was their baby, hers and Gideon's to fuck about with, to fuck up, and now there were two souls in a single person who were about to do it in front of her, with her knowledge of it's failed efficacy, her certainty of it's imperfections. Alone. Without him. Without anyone left that understood. At cliff edge of so many graves. With the echo of Mercy's horror that they never had to do it at all, it could have been perfect, perfect was possible.

Her first act as a free agent was to kill her lover.

Selfish.

Her second to save her lovers child.

Selfish.

Her third to play happy families.

Selfish.

Do you think she thought she deserved to see them die?

To walk away from them alone. Not a Lyctor nor a Saint, a war criminal full of the dread of a life unlived, With the faces of her dead lovers children hung like ghosts in the back of a transport hold. With a thick and choking pall of smoke curling at the roof of the tunnel, the crackle of burning flesh.

In the end without even the bullet that would finish her mission.

She loved Gideon, and it hurt.

And she was alone.

She loved Wake, and it hurt.

And she was alone.

She saved Nona, loved Nona, and it hurt.

And she was alone.

She looked after the Sixth, lived with and loved them, and it hurt.

And she wasn't even alone.

Camilla Hect stared back at her, walked, talked and breathed. Palamedes in the smile, Camilla in the gait. Palamedes in the hands, Camilla in the cross of the arms, tilt of the head. From the corner of her eye it was them in singularity. But neither in duality. A walking mausoleum of something that had finally felt right.

Pyrrha Dve was alone for 10,000 years and she's alone again. And she thinks she deserves it.

MK INTRO: Shallot vs (Half-Maiden) Pyrrha Nikos

ARENA: AMITY ARENA

Pyrrha: *enters the stage, banging Milo against Akouo* "It's time I've taught you some manners!"

Shallot: *cracks his knuckles, chuckling* "Gettin' serious, Cereal Girl?" *yells, powers up to Super Saiyan*

Pyrrha: *gets into her fighting stance* "For starters: Call me by my name!"

---

Shallot: *descends from the sky, eating his 'snack'* "What's your damage with Vegeta?"

Pyrrha: *points Milo at her opponent* "Why are you defending an arrogant, prideful, sexist, and manic war criminal who went unpunished?!"

Shallot: *scoffs, finishing the rest of his 'snack'* "At least look at a guy's positives too!" *yells powers up to Super Saiyan*

---

Pyrrha: *enters the stage, banging Milo against Akouo* "We need to talk about your crass language!"

Shallot: *cracks his knuckles, exhales* "I get this from Weiss constantly, what makes you different?" *yells, powers up to Super Saiyan*

Pyrrha: *groans, gets into her fighting stance* "Adrian's saying the F-Word because of you!"

---

Shallot: *descends from the sky, eating his 'snack'* "Ya know, Pyrrha, I can smell your leader on ya."

Pyrrha: *rolls her eyes, points Milo at her opponent* "Says the guy who has splits of white hair on his shoulder."

Shallot: *blinks, finishing his 'snack'* "Huh, looks like the sweet Cereal Girl has a sour side." *yells, powers up to Super Saiyan*

[pilot-boi]

Plotbunny AU : Pt 3 Alright, you want more? Here's MOAR Jaune and Alyx fill in Ozpin about everything they know about Salem, Cinder, their plans, and the Ever After and MAGIC.

Oh, and Qrow and Goodwitch are there too. Their reaction to Ozpin being caught flatfooted is almost as amusing as their reactions to realizing "Compulsive Liar with Trust Issues" didn't exclude them.

At some point, Jaune gets a full suit of plate-mail, and has his Aura unlocked and awakens his Semblance after an incident. He now spends every other night when he's not conditioning himself pumping more healing into Amber.

Alyx has to sit through a lot of how-to videos on stuff like the modern political structure of the kingdoms. The Great War. The Atlas Separation. Anything else she misses can be brushed off as being from the sticks like Jaune.

Jaune calls his parents at some point and rushes through "I make it into Beacon on a recommendation, sorry I took the sword and was an angsty teenager, also I adopted another sister and might have more soon, bye!"

Jaune does his best to introduce Alyx to modern conveniences and entertainment. He takes her by the hand and guides her through Vale, wearing his new armor to adjust to the weight.

He never meant for anything to happen. They had a very good plan to actually trap Cinder with a fake Amber in the Vault.

But then he's taking Alyx to see a movie at night and when he points out the scenery, there's a shop, a restaurant, Ruby fighting criminals-record scratch.

What.

Is that that Torckwick guy?!?!

Torchwick means Neo, the crazy midget!

Jaune tells Alyx to hide, and coazes Juniper out from his pocket, scanning for tri colored illusionists when a bulkhead appears and he sees h e r.....

and Jaune's vision whites out and he can't hear Alyx anymore.

But he knows the feel of Juniper rushing forward under him, adn she grows to her proper size and keeps growing.

And Jaune pushes his Aura into Juniper, his Semblance glowing, and Juniper kicks the Bullhead.

Right into the Dust Shop.

It gets very loud.

Glynda Goodwitch arrives to Jaune healing everyone's ears.

Ruby takes a moment to stammer: "Did you just kill that woman?"

Alyx, like the semi reformed hellion she is, replies with "Gods, I hope so"

(This was not the post I had planned. I had a whole fluffy Beason outline filled with Jaune being everyone's brother figure, Alyx questioning Pyrrha's intentions, and team pet shenanigans. I blame you for Cinder being kicked into a Dust Store for asking for more this late. Good Job. )

First of all, DONT call Neo a midget, what the hell dude

Second of all, all problems can be solved by big bunny. Get fucked Roman and Cinder. On one hand I hope they’re not dead because that would be a very anticlimactic way for them to go out, but on the other hand it IS very funny

And if Cinder is dead, then who did her sliver of the Maiden powers go to? Did they go back to Amber, possibly healing her? Or did they go to someone else?

Also, you could very well have Cinder survive. In canon she’s survived worse than this. Just give her some badass burn scars and throw her back into the action, more manic than ever, and now with a vendetta against our baby boy

[howlingday]

What does a normal day for the silent knight couple look like

Well, this is assuming AFTER the war against Salem is over, since these two don't have any positive interaction in the series.

Jaune's Day:

Jaune wakes up early in the morning for training. He gets out of bed and changes into his training clothes. Before he leaves, he kisses his fingers, then gently place them on Neo's forehead. Last time he tried to use his lips, he was thrown to the floor, and Neo woke up grumpy. Jaune's training, which consists of calisthenics, HEMA practice, and a jog around the house, goes until about an hour after sunrise. He then goes inside and takes a shower, and changes into his day clothes. He makes breakfast, which is either a huge feast of toast, bacon, eggs, sausage, pancakes, and ham, or it's something simple like waffles, toaster pastries, or cereal. Neo then comes inside to have whatever Jaune made but didn't eat. They share a good morning kiss before he leaves for huntsman duties.

Depending on the job, Jaune comes home in the afternoon, at dinner, or by breakfast the next morning. If in the afternoon, he'll shower and spend the rest of the day with Neo. If at dinner, he'll come home to Neo cooking, eat, then go to bed. If by breakfast the next morning, Jaune will walk in to find Neo having leftovers for breakfast, which he will eat before going to bed. Neo will usually follow him in to snuggle with him.

He usually finds time to think about Pyrrha, usually in the sash he carries with him at all times.

Neopolitan's Day:

Neo wakes up later in the morning, usually to the sound or smell of breakfast. She never misses it. Regardless of the amount, she will eat all of it. She then goes about cleaning up around the house; sweeping, dusting, mopping, etc.

At around lunch, she makes herself a sandwich. While eating, she looks over the news on stocks, criminal reports, and the state of the country. She'll usually get a message on her scroll around this time from one of her goons. She then informs them of whatever heist or scheme she's planning, and whether or not if it's happening tonight. She'll also ask Jaune how his mission is going.

That evening, depending on if Jaune comes home or not, she'll stare at Roman's bowler before putting it on and heading out if he isn't home. If he is, then oh well, another night. That night of crime usually doesn't end in blood, but it does work up a sweat, so she goes home and takes a shower. Jaune doesn't suspect a thing, and doesn't mind if he doesn't react to her snuggling up to him, or pecking his cheek.

Spider Knight 8: Mad doctor.

Dr Otto Octavius ​​was working in his laboratory and supervising the rookie scientists who were taking care of the construction of new Atlesian Knight-200 until a familiar figure entered the laboratory and Otto went to the figure that would be General Ironwood.

Otto octavius: Good morning general ironwood what is the reason for your visit so suddenly here in the laboratory?

Ironwood: Otto do you have a minute? I have to talk to you, it's something very serious.

Otto octavius: Of course sir if something this serious I have enough free time. Folks I'm going to have to go out and talk to general ironwood but keep up the good work you all are doing!

Otto left the laboratory with ironwood and they would be in the corridor ironwood sighed and looked at otto's face who had an anxious expression but would be slightly serious.

Ironwood: Look, Otto, I apologize but for the news that happened in Vale, what Jacques told me that the machines you created were stolen and used by criminals made the council worried. So they are sending you to connors lab to avoid any suspicious use. I'm sorry old friend I hope you understand.

Otto heard that and he would have a slight expression of anger but he would take a deep breath and then he would look at the face of ironwood with a smile on his face.

Otto octavius: No problem general and I am happy to know that I will be working where my dear co-worker and friend Dr Connors worked. And also if the schnee company continues to help me in my projects with their materials I will be able to work on my biggest project!

Ironwood: What project are you talking about?

Otto octavius: I'm creating a machine that can create a controlled nuclear fusion something that can be an infinite source of energy that we can use to unify all kingdoms and avoid any war!

Ironwood: I hope your project works otto you have my support.

Ironwood would pat Otto on the back and walk out of the inn. Otto would enter the laboratory and tell the news to his co-workers and go to his room arranging the equipment that he would take to Vale until a figure stood at the door of Otto's office.

Arthur watts: I see you're going on a long trip to work my old friend.

Otto octavius: It's not a big deal, I'm just traveling to continue my work and avoid having our work stolen.

Arthur watts: It's going to be boring without you here haha.

Arthur would enter the room and extend his hand to Otto who would shake it soon after Otto would leave the room with some boxes and while he didn't realize Arthur would put a small drone in the mechanical arms that would install a virus in the arms.

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

Jaune and his team were training for the vytal festival until jaune's scroll vibrated causing him to be distracted and being hit by a kick from ren.

Ren: Sorry jaune I didn't mean to hit you so hard.

Jaune : It's not your fault ren, it's okay, I just lost focus

Ren approaches jaune extending his hand to help him up. Nora and pyrrha who were training next to them approach the rest of their team.

Pyrrha: Jaune, we already talked about no scroll on while we train, you could have been seriously hurt if it weren't for ren

Jaune: Sorry guys, I'm very excited, a scientist I like is going to present his work here at Dr Connors' laboratory!

Nora: Wow jauney didn't know you liked this science stuff.

Jaune: A-ah i just think it's a cool hobby hehe.

Pyrrha: Well if you want we can take a break there when you get back from the presentation we can go back to training what do you think guys?

They agree and jane would give each one a hug and run to the presentation in connors lab. Jaune was looking around and saw Otto stopping looking at the machine that was in its final touches and he approached the doctor.

Otto octavius: It's almost complete but I feel something is missing…

Jaune: Maybe you can use some material that you can mold and count the energy that the machine can release to avoid any risk.

Otto listened to jaune's idea and would look to the side seeing the boy analyzed by the machine, which would make the doctor have a smile on his face.

Otto octavius: Looks like someone's been doing homework.

Jaune heard what Otto had heard and turned to him and held out his hand with a big smile on his face and Otto would shake it right away.

Jaune: My name is jaune arc and I'm a big fan of your work sir Otto Octavius!

Otto octavius: It's good to see young people like you taking an interest in science.

Jaune would smile at the comment and would look around and see Atlesian Knight-200 loading boxes and building the machine which would make him look slightly worried looking back at Otto.

Jaune: Mister otto why are you using robots instead of your private team?

Otto octavius: Well boy sometimes you have to replace people who don't believe or have no hope in what you're doing.

Jaune: But Mr. Otto, sometimes it's always good to have someone on your side to always review your mistakes and help you correct them.

Otto octavius: Hm thanks for the advice kid but let me know when it actually works.

Otto would do that with a light tone of anger, Jaune noticing this would leave the area and go to where the visitors were and ends up accidentally bumping into Weiss who was surprised to see Jaune in that place.

Weiss: Jaune?! What did you come here to do in the laboratory?

Jaune: I just came to see the presentation...?

Weiss: Hmph I hope this is the reason and not one of your attempts to ask me out on a date.

Jaune: I'm not going to bother you like I used to, I just want to enjoy this presentation, sorry hehe.

Jaune sits on the bleachers and looks to the side and notices Weiss sitting on his side and the two look to the center of the room where Otto was putting his robotic arms and turning on the machine.

Otto octavius: I want to thank the schnee company for providing materials for me to present to everyone a new source of energy. it's like having the power of the sun in the palm of my hands.

People clapped for otto seeing that the machine worked seeing the golden sphere in the center of the machine producing energy. Arthur, who was hidden in the middle of the audience; Would turn on his scroll and activate two viruses, one that would make the machine lose control, releasing energy and destroying a little of the laboratory. The second virus was ''O-1963'', which would make Otto more aggressive.

Otto octavius: Don't be afraid and just a slight energy leak will still be enough to contain.

The sphere was losing control and beams of energy coming out breaking the laboratory but Weiss would use her weapon and make ice constructs to protect the people who were fleeing.

Jaune: Weiss I'm going to try to call the others and meanwhile try to turn off the machine and save Mr Otto!

Weiss: Alright, just be careful ok?

Jaune would nod and run out of the room and go into the bathroom and pull scroll and see that it was off noticing this he would look around and see the security cameras burned out because of the release of energy from the machine. Jaune, Seeing the opportunity, would put on his suit and enter the room, sticking to the ceiling and Otto would look at him.

Otto octavius: Spider Knight?! What are you doing here?

Spider Knight: Otto you have to turn off this machine if it keeps releasing energy it could end up destroying the whole city!

Otto octavius: I will not listen to orders from an amateur hero!

Otto would send one of his mechanical arms hitting spider knight but the arm was hit by an ice shot making him get stuck against the wall and both otto and spider knight look at weiss.

Weiss: Spider knight that's right otto turn off the machine you're not thinking straight!

Otto octavius: Shut up you spoiled brat!

Otto would launch another mechanical arm in the direction of weiss but at the last minute spider knight would catch it making the attack miss and spider knight would look at weiss who was being held like a bride by him.

Spider Knight: Hey are you okay?

Weiss: Y-yes it's ok t-thanks for saving me b-but can you let me go?

Spider Knight: Of course I'm sorry!

Spider knight let go of Weiss with delicacy and the two look at Otto who was trying to keep that sphere of energy stable but failed each attempt, releasing more energy and destroying the laboratory more. Spider knight would look and see an area where the machine was connected and receiving its energy and then he would look at weiss.

Spider Knight: I have an idea but I'm going to need your help. That machine is running on those generators if I can distract him enough you can go over there and turn them off, Do you think you can do this?

Weiss: A schnee always manages to do!

Weiss would change his ammo and put gravity dust and use his glyphs to move faster. Spider knight would start to throw webs on his arms that were getting stuck but he would let go and when he let go they would go up to spider knight trying to hit him.

Spider Knight: Well now that you've turned into a villain what should I call you? Octopus head? Oh I know Doctor Octopus Suits you.

Otto octavius: Why don't you shut up you isolete arachnid!

Spider Knight: Awww did I hurt someone's feelings?

Spider knight was caught by the neck by one of the arms and placed against the wall and while the other one started to spin very fast resembling a drill was approaching the face of spider knight.

Otto octavius: Last words spider knight?

Spider Knight: Never let your guard down…

Otto heard that getting confused and looked back and saw Weiss cutting the cables causing the sphere of energies to disappear, he would scream in rage and launch the four mechanical arms in the direction of Weiss. Spider knight would break free and launch webs on the ceiling and pull a large concrete block that would fall on her head and otto causing him to pass out.

Weiss: Spider Knight are you okay?

Spider Knight: I'm fine with just a slight shortness of breath but I just need to rest. Let's get out of here, the police will probably come in and arrest him.

Weiss went to Spider knight helping him out of the laboratory. Time would pass and the jnpr team were in their dorm resting after a long day of training, Jaune would pull up his scroll and watch the news.

Jaune: Look, people apparently managed to find a cure for Dr Connors and that after some therapy he can be the head of the laboratory again.

Pyrrha: This is great jaune! I hope that when we fight at the vytal festival nothing strange happens.

Nora: Seriously, I don't want a giant nevermore or something like that to appear in the middle of the arena when we go to fight.

The four would let out light laughter at Nora's comment.

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

(Pos-credit 1)

Otto was in his jail cell until a guard would arrive and say he had a call and take him to a private room and Otto would answer the scroll that was on the table.

Jacques: Look who's my good old friend otto answering my calls!

Otto octavius: What do you want gele?

Jacques: Nothing much, just wanted to thank you for your technology.

Otto octavius: What are you doing…

Jacques: No big deal, I'm just taking it for myself and my company, since you're a prisoner, so you don't have any rights over them hahah!

Otto octavius: You isolate! When I get out of prison you will pay no one steal technology from Otto Octavius!

Jacques: So see you there and thanks for the wendigo project haha.

Jacques hung up the call and Otto would grab the scroll from the table and breaking with rage and would let out a scream screaming jacques' name.

(Pos-credit 2)

Weiss was lying in her dorm fiddling with her scroll and saw an image of spider knight which made her blush slightly. Yang who was in the dorm playing video game saw weiss blushing and the image of spider knight and would start laughing which would make weiss slightly irritated.

Yang: Hehe looks like the snow princess has found her spider knight.

Weiss: Shut up yang!

Yang was just laughing at Weiss' reaction. Weiss tried to ignore it but remembered the moment she was being held by spider knight which would make her blush a lot.

(Pos-credit 3)

Connors laboratory was being built a scientist finds a glass capsule that inside had a black goo and had writing on its side ''V-635'' and the scientist would take it inside the laboratory.

In terms of canon-divergence what is different in your canon of RWBY with the additions of your OC's?

Okay so massive canon-divergence incoming.

Starting with Volume five.

My take on Lionheart is yes, he is a coward because he used one of the questions of the Relic of Knowledge because as stated in his bio. He was incredibly prideful and bit off more than he could chew, however despite assisting the Scions of Salem he did send the Hunters of Mistral away from Mistral discreetly after overhearing what Tyrian and Hazel plans to do with them.

Adam isnt some psychotic incel. He's lost and misguided and is prepared to do what he can to make humans understand that the Faunus will not kneel to such idiocy any more.

Raven did not kill the former Spring Maiden, but is traumatized by her death when a young Cinder had killed the Spring Maiden which was only but a child which Raven could only see Yang in her eyes therefore she would have to keep her distance from her family making Yang understand why Raven "left" and confirms why she always felt a pair of eyes around her.

Yang actually is herself from Volume 2 to 3. and doesnt treat anyone like an A-hole making puns wherever she can. Just a bit more locked in when it comes to fights or situations. Louvel, Yang, Vernal, and Raven will be fighting Cinder together but Vernal sacrifices herself to save Yang. Which Raven sees her mouth Vernals final words to her being: "Be a good mother to her." as this sends Raven into a fury prompting in herself and Yang getting injured but not enough to take them out of the fight. Louvel unleashes his fury on Cinder which results in him getting a fatal injury but he unlocks his passive semblance which results in an opening being given to Yang and Raven to finish Cinder off as Mother and Daughter.

Salem makes an appearance not by Emeralds semblance going into overdrive and "congratulates" the reunited RWBY and BLCK for gaining one of the Relics..but confirms that the real battle begins her. as Louvel passes out from the pain hitting him all at once as he was in an adrenlaine rush.

Volume 6: No Race to Atlas Arc yet. Buuuut. Louvel, Sun, Yang, Ilia, Lie-Ren, and Blade travel to the Neo-Shinbaori base to repair Louvels damaged katana.

Corona, Blake, Ruby, Weiss, Nora, Kazura, Outsider and Pyrrha travel to Mistrals criminal underground to end a war for supremacy over the criminal underground.

Volume 7- RWBY, SPNL, and BLCKOUT all get separated Yang, Louvel, Ruby, Blade, Qrow, and Ozpin/Oscar along with Maria all find out the truth behind Ozpin with Ozpins consent.

Ozpin confirms that he seeks to finally be free from the cycle of life and death and how he had to see many generations of Hunters who he gave the Special Mission to fall.. except for Summer Rose who came incredibly close.

Sun, Pyrrha, Nora, Lie-Ren, Corona, Kazura, Weiss, Blake, and Hermes are rescued by Cashmere and is taken to the Ruins of Light where they meet the Titan of Benevolence Exaltia. As she explains Ozpins past and how she knows him. WHile at the same time she and Cashmere heals Hermes of his mind. May do a drabble about that.

Maria actually teach Ruby more about her Silver Eyes powers and reveals that using too much of its power is risky.

Ruby and friends are confronted by Colonel Cordovin but the General of Argus explains that due to a massive Grimm being around Argus all travel to Atlas has been cut-off until further notice. Which prompts Ruby and friends to try and help as best as they can and after a few days they are confronted by one of the Seats of Vanity, Orochi.

Who beats them all down and states that he just nees to do is make a sound loud of enough to awaken the Titan udnerneath Argus which he summons Perseus the Titan of the Seas.

this prompts Colonel Cordovin into fighting.

Sorry I may need to make another post for this.

Thoughts on Nona

Nona is a precious goblin just like Harrow and deserves to be protected at all costs.

and yet they failed.

Nona is autistic I claim her for the community and you can't do anything about it.

The sense of whimsy and wonder I get from her is something I think we all still wish we had. It gives you such a whiplash from the previous two books that I will admit. In the first few chapters it was a bit difficult to push through. However it is handsomely rewarded.

"Life is too short and love is too long"

I cried, I sobbed. I'll miss them so much but Paul is cool.

Crown is a simp for her sister and I don't think anyone can do anything about that.

Judith...UM RIP. I never liked you. Crown just wants a mommy to replace her sister.

Pyrrha you're fantastic never change.

Ianthe you stupid fucking over confident bitch I love you.

Gideon endures further horrors and still in death! "Why doesn't it feel good!"

Jod you sad pathetic absent father bitch baby. I love you. unfortunately you're a war criminal and possibly the worst one the universe has ever seen.

The group of kids deserve better and especially Hot Sauce you bad bitch in the making.

Noodle Bark Bark Bark Bark

Harrow glad to have you back I've missed you!

Angel what is your deal? I need to know.

Alecto its so funny that all I can see when I imagine you is Margot Robbie because of the Barbie Movie and you think you look horribly ugly. Please for the love of god talk like you're from the King James Bible the entirety of your book I need it.

Pash I have a crush on you please don't die.

"OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT NOODLE!"

4.8/5

[theunredeemable]

Cinder watched the scenery pass by them in a blur, chin resting on the palm of her cybernetic hand. It was hidden by a long black glove, disappearing into the sleeves of her coat. Her other hand, still flesh and blood, idly picked at the fabric of her jeans. The ever present hum of the engine and the motors as they rumbled across the empty road created the perfect monotonous drone for her to zone out to, getting lost inside of her own mind. Not even the dulcet tones of her girlfriend’s music playing through the car’s radio could pull her out. Logically she knew she had nothing to worry about, she had Winter’s constant assurances on that front, and the Specialist had yet to steer her wrong. At least not in recent years. She let out a small huff of laughter, remembering the first ever assurance that slipped past those pale lips.

“I assure you, I will make you pay for your sins.”

Cinder closed her eyes as she remembered their first few encounters with each other, ever on opposite sides of a pointless war between immortal beings. A war both of them had sacrificed so much for, and hurt each other time and time again. She could feel the phantom pains start to creep in along her shoulder. While it had been the insufferable silver eyes brat that had cost Cinder her arm, it was Winter that had torn the grimm that had replaced it from her body. Oddly, that had been the catalyst for the change in their relationship, and Cinder's own outlook on the world. Another failure on her part, one that Salem had not forgiven and cast her out. Even now, years later, the rejection of all she had known, all she had sacrificed for, stung. Her fingernails started to dig into her leg as the agitation coiled through her, until a cold, coarse hand rested upon it. Opening her eyes, she looked down to see Winter's hand taking hold of hers, pulling it away from her leg before she could hurt herself. A smile graced her lips as she squeezed her partner's hand in response. "I'm okay..." 

Winter was focusing on the road, but the raised brow in response spoke volumes to how little she believed Cinder in this moment. "Talk to me, Princess. What is on your mind?" Her voice held a rare warmth, oozing with concern.

Cinder let out another sigh, shifting in the car seat as she leaned back, extracting her hand from Winter's, placing both of hers in her lap. She fiddled with the fingers of the long black glove hiding her prosthetic with a frown on her lips. "Everything, my love. But specifically, I was thinking about our past. About everything that happened, about how she- she just threw me aside." Her fists clenched as she let out a slow breath, trying to reign in the flash of anger. "That hurt never really went away. I gave Salem so much. My childhood, my innocence. I was her greatest soldier, and it wasn't enough." 

"That's because Salem's a bitch." Cinder snorted in response, causing Winter's rare smile to return as she lowered the music on the radio. "No, seriously. Don't get me wrong, living as long as she did alone with primarily grimm for company would turn anyone into a bitch, but a bitch she still is. Trust me, I know bitches. I grew up with one as a father." Her smile faltered into a grimace as she thought of Jacques, though it quickly went away. "But why are you thinking about that now?" 

"Because we're on our way to meet your parents! Or, at the very least, your mother." Cinder threw her hands up, her frown returning in force. "It's already been difficult enough with your friends and sister to reconcile everything that happened. How is she going to react to the fact you're dating a criminal." She started to list off some of her past sins, counting them on her fingers. "I destroyed Beacon, killed Ozpin and Pyrrha, stabbed your sister, and organised several other assassinations and property damage. And that's just the crimes she probably knows about." Cinder could feel the anxiety start to crawl up her spine like the spindly fingers of a Gheist. "Even your sister has difficulty being civil around me." 

"Well, you did impale her with a spear made of fire, threw her down a mystical pit to another world, and tried to steal my maiden powers on numerous occasions." Winter lifted one of her hands off the wheel to count, though there was a teasing lilt to her voice. "That, and Weiss is known to hold a grudge, even if she has mellowed out in the last few years." She reached across the car to put her hand on Cinder's thigh, giving her a reassuring squeeze. Cinder simply shook her head at the tone of Winter's voice, a low chuckle leaving her.

"How can you be so blase about this?" 

"Because I've forgiven you for it all. You've worked with us against Salem, you're on better terms with Ruby and I know how difficult that is." Cinder tensed up at the red brat's name, fists clenching briefly. Though they were on the same side now, and civil, neither could completely forgive the other yet. Cinder for the fact that she lost an eye and arm in their little scuffle, and Ruby because Cinder killed Pyrrha Nikos. "If she can forgive and end up dating Sustrai, she'll forgive you eventually. But more importantly than all of that, I think you're underestimating my mother." A sly grin spread across her face, an amused look shining in her blue eyes that caused Cinder to roll her own, letting out another scoff.

"And now you're going to be mysterious, aren't you? Brothers, I should have taken your maiden powers when I had the chance." She shook her head, holding her forehead. Her fake frown lasted as long as it took for Winter to laugh and lightly slap her thigh. "Now, are we almost there? My ass is hurting thanks to this rust bucket." 

Winter let out a scoff of her own, putting a hand to her chest in mock offence. "Oh, I am sorry Princess. Is my oldest companion not meeting your high standards?" 

"Win, I love you. But this piece of garbage is possibly older than Ozma himself." She gave Winter an unimpressed look, crossing her arms as she did so.

"Shh, don't listen to her, Saber. She's just jealous cause she's not allowed to drive." Winter gave the dashboard a gentle pat, seeming to ignore how close it was to breaking. "I've had her since I joined the military, she was the first thing I bought with my paycheck and she's served me well."

"I can drive!" Cinder pouted, brows furrowed as she let out a huff. 

"Not legally." Winter's voice had regained the teasing edge, before she straightened up in her seat, eyes squinting as she looked in the distance. "Ah, and to answer your earlier question, yes. We're nearly there."

"Not my fault I don't have both eyes." She grumbled to herself, prosthetic moving to ghost along her eyepatch, even as she sat up straighter to look out on the road ahead of them.

"Actually I was talking about all the crime." Cinder let out another grumble, playfully slapping Winter's arm, before both broke into soft laughter.

They were fast approaching the new home of the Schnee Matriarch. In the years following Atlas's fall and Mantle's destruction, some of the refugee's had returned to Solitas to try to rebuild their homes. The process was slow, and could only really start after Salem had left the frozen landscape alone. Cinder was trying her hardest not to think about the last time she had been here, choosing to focus on the road itself. It was barely a road, all gravel and bumps built on the bones of what was once Mantle. The water had been drained, the boundaries re-established, but the damage was significant. Cinder idly wondered how much dust had been used to fill in the holes caused by Atlas falling to the earth, but was soon distracted as the Schnee's new manor came into view, though one would be hard pressed to call it that. Her lips pursed as she took in the view. Gone were the cold stone walls of their previous home's architecture, this building had a much more Mistralian theme. It would have stuck out like a sore thumb, if not for some of the other completed buildings they had passed taking inspiration from Vacuo and Vale as well. "I'm surprised your father went for something so... un-Atlas." 

Winter let out a small noise of discontent as they pulled up to the manor, shifting her car to park. "Father doesn't have much say of anything any more." 

"Ah, yes. They got divorced, right?" 

"No, actually." Winter took a deep breath, letting it go slowly as her fist clenched. "James killed him." Cinder looked at her girlfriend in shock, eye wide and brows raised. Ironwood had been a sore spot for Winter for longer than Salem had been for her. "During one of our first expeditions back here, we recovered the footage. No trial, no... anything. He just shot Father while he was in his cell, leaving nothing but ashes for us to recover. And by the time we learned what happened, even those were gone." She let out another sigh, running a hand over her hair, making sure nothing was out of place as she got out of the vehicle. "I don't know how I felt about Father towards the end, and James robbed my family the chance to end things on our terms. I'm not sad he's dead, and we're all doing better without him, but..." She didn't get to finish her sentence as she felt Cinder's arms wrap around her waist, pulling her close. She hadn't even heard the other woman leave the car. Closing her eyes, she returned the embrace and let out a shaky breath. "So much of my life was spent in the shadow of men lost to power."

"And so much of mine was lost to a woman mired in sorrow and fury. But we're not in their shadows anymore." Cinder tightened her embrace, before releasing Winter and looking at the house again. There was no sign that they had been seen yet, and it caused her to bite her lip as she considered. "Do we really have to meet your Mom though? We can always drive away before they've seen us..." 

Winter planted a gentle kiss on Cinder's forehead, right at the edge of her eye patch. "They already know we're here. We tripped the sensors as we pulled up." Cinder whirled around, eye looking for the sensors, and found them positioned along the driveway. She had been distracted in the car and hadn't noticed. "Come on, I think you'll be surprised." Winter took Cinder's right hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze, before leading her up to the house.

Cinder watched as Winter pressed the doorbell, hearing its melodic chime echo throughout the manor. She could feel her nerves start to skyrocket once more, and she briefly considered the feasibility of simply flying away. It wouldn't be that difficult to slip out of Winter's grasp and activate her maiden powers. But then Winter would just give chase and drag her back here anyway, she mused to herself, once again quietly considering that she should have stolen the Winter Maiden's powers when she had the chance. Before she could think of any other potential escape attempts, the front door opened revealing a woman dressed in icy blues and warm reds, with hair as white as Winter's and blue eyes no longer burdened by a loveless marriage. The woman offered a warm smile as she stepped out and pulled Winter into a warm hug. Cinder could only watch as Winter blinked in surprise, before returning the gesture. Even after all this time, the soldier had difficulty with how much her mother had changed. "Winter, darling. It's so good to see you again. And to finally meet your paramour in person." Willow turned to look at Cinder, her smile never faltering.

"O-oh! Yes, Hello Ma'am." Cinder offered her right hand to Willow, hoping the smile on her face was hiding how nervous she was. Willow took the offered hand, before stepping in and giving Cinder a hug, eliciting a small gasp of surprise from her.

"No need to be so formal, my dear. Winter talks about you a lot. You can call me Willow." She stepped away, putting her hands on Cinder's shoulders and giving her a reassuring squeeze. "Now, why don't you both come in and meet my new partner." She clapped her hands together, smile widening at the thought, before turning on her heel and entering her home once more. Winter gave Cinder an encouraging smile, looping her arm through hers and leading her into the manor after her mother. The interior of the home was so different to what Winter had grown up with. The cold grey walls were replaced with much warmer wooden ones, and where portraits would once hang now were pictures of their family and friends. She couldn't help but pause at once such picture, smiling at the happy faces of her sister, team RWBY, and their partners. Emerald was arm in arm with Ruby, much like she currently was with Cinder. Weiss had adopted a pout as her girlfriend, Ilia, took advantage of her height to lay atop her. Cinder had stepped to look at the picture, smiling somberly at it as her hand reached out to ghost over Emerald.

"I should give her a call..." 

"You should. I often hear how much she misses you." She gave Cinder another reassuring pat on the arm, before they quickly moved to catch up with Willow, who had already disappeared into a living room. 

"Come greet our guests, My Love! Winter is here with her girlfriend!" Willow cupped her hands around her mouth as she called out. The elder Schnee seemed to revel in the opportunity to be loud after so many years of silence and tip toeing on eggshells. She waited for a moment, listening out for some form of confirmation, before grinning wider at the sound of some crashing from the upper floor. She turned back to Winter and Cinder, waving away the looks of concern on their faces at the sounds coming from above them. "Oh, don't worry. Rae probably just woke up from her nap. Please, take a seat. Can I get you something to drink, to eat?" 

"Perhaps some tea, Mother? It was a long drive and Saber's heating doesn't work as well as it used to." 

"Or at all..." Cinder mumbled under her breath, earning an elbow to her side from her girlfriend. She stuck her tongue out at Winter, before taking a seat on the couch.

"Tea sounds like a splendid idea. I'll put the kettle on, just make yourselves comfortable." Willow clapped to herself, before leaving towards the kitchen. Winter watched her go, a look of surprise on her face, before she let out a little laugh and took her seat next to Cinder, taking her hand into hers.

"Never thought I'd see the day where Mother made tea instead of getting a butler to do so." 

"And you call me princess." 

"You are a princess, Princess. My princess." Winter gave her signature smirk, lifting Cinder's hand up to place a loving kiss on the back, causing the other woman to blush furiously. She opened her mouth to respond, but the sound of footsteps entering the room distracted her.

"Alright, I'm here 'llow. Where's our gue-" Silence settled across the room as Raven and Cinder locked eyes with each other. Both of their mouths fell open as they took each other in, before Cinder stood suddenly and started pointing at Raven, who was doing the same, both crying out in unison. "YOU!" 

"Oh, good. You both know each other." Winter said calmly, crossing her legs and resting her hands on her lap, leaning back and watching both of them with an amused expression. It caused both of them to stop looking at each other to instead look at Winter.

"You're dating Salem's lap dog!?" 

"Your step mother is the Branwen Bitch!?" The two immediately went back to glaring at each other, Cinder letting out an offended scoff as her eye started to glow. "I am not associated with that Monster any more!" 

"Who are you calling a bitch?" Raven's eyes narrowed, starting to glow in turn. Winter let out a sigh as she was forced to stand up, walking between the two of them, arms outstretched to stop them launching at each other, her own eyes glowing as well.

"May I remind you both that neither of you are the only maiden here, and that Mother will be quite cross with all of us if we destroy her home so soon after it was finished." She glared at both of them in turn, using her signature Schnee Specialist stare that had cowered even her superiors on many occasions. Cinder was the first to break, letting her anger ebb away as she sank back into the couch, pouting and looking away from Raven and Winter. Once Cinder was sat, Winter turned the glare to Raven, who resisted for longer, but in time also stood down. "Also, Raven. You are well documented as being a bit of a bitch."

A deep sigh rumbled through Raven as she ran a hand through her messy hair, crimson eyes shutting. "Yeah, yeah I know I'm a bitch. And, I'm sorry for being rude. I just wasn't expecting to see you after I threw you out of the vault and into the depths." Winter raised a brow at that, quietly wondering what it was with her loved ones throwing her other loved ones into pits, but chose to remain silent as she took her seat next to Cinder once more, taking ahold of her hand and giving it a squeeze, one which Cinder returned.

Cinder turned her attention back to Raven, letting out her own sigh as she gave a nod to the older woman. "Apology...accepted. I am sorry as well, this is your home and I shouldn't have called you a bitch." Her lip quirked upwards as she resisted smiling, but couldn't resist the snark that slipped out. "Even if you totally are one." Rather than receiving anger or more insults, Cinder was surprised to hear Raven laugh in response. It started as a chuckle before building into something more. She remembered hearing a similar laugh coming out of Yang back when she was infiltrating beacon, but she shouldn't be surprised considering their relation. 

"Oh, the sprout has a bit more bark this time. Winter, why don't you go help your mom. I love that woman, but she's still not great in the kitchen." Winter nodded, standing, before hesitating at leaving her girlfriend alone with someone she had been willing to try to kill just a few seconds ago. Raven could see the worry on her face, and waved it away. "Go, I'm not going to ruin Willow's living room. Not unless I want to be sleeping out in the cold again." Raven waited until Winter had left the room to take a seat herself, a single recliner covered with Mistrali blankets and throws. She let out a content sigh as she sank into the comfort of her favourite seat, crimson eyes closing briefly, before reopening to appraise Cinder properly. "So, no longer with Salem?" 

Cinder took a deep breath, before shaking her head. "No. She abandoned me, after everything I did for her." She frowned, looking down at her left arm and clenching her fist. "Winter was there to pick up the pieces after I shattered. Helped them start to turn the tide, and then we started dating." She let out a small scoff of laughter. "Still can't believe it sometimes." 

"I know how you feel." Raven leaned forward in her seat, elbows resting on her knees as she interlaced her fingers, resting her chin on them. "After everything went down in Haven, I went back to Taiyang, my ex-husband. To apologise, to try to make amends. Took losing my foster daughter, and then getting yelled at by my bio-daughter to realise I needed to stop being such a coward." She pursed her lips as she thought back to that time, letting out a small chuckle herself. "He was not happy to see me, but we made amends after several, several heartfelt and difficult conversations. Once that was done... and after Atlas fell we decided to go to Vacuo to help the refugees, and find our daughter." At this she narrowed her eyes and looked at Cinder properly, an undercurrent of anger there. "Imagine our surprise and sorrow when we heard that they fell into a bottomless pit." Cinder flinched, looking away as she clenched her fists. She opened her mouth to speak, but Raven carried on. "But then she came back, alongside the rest of her team...alongside Ruby." There was an undercurrent of fondness in her voice, and Raven leaned back in her seat. "Tai and Yang gave me another chance to be a part of their family, and I found Willow. I broke what Tai and I had beyond repair, but Willow still gave me a chance. I guess what I'm trying to say is... if you've really changed, far be it from me to hold you accountable for your past sins." Cinder looked up in surprise, eye wide as she took in Raven. "Goodness knows I've got plenty of my own. But still, these Schnee's seem to love us." 

"They do, don't they." Cinder's voice was soft as she took in everything, a small smile returning to her face. "If you had told me when we first met that we'd end up dating a Schnee, and that we'd be trying to repent for our sins, I'd have laughed. And then probably tried to set you on fire." 

"You wish you could have set me on fire. You tried and ended up in a pit." Raven stuck her tongue out, before both of them broke down laughing at the absurdity of their lives. They then heard the clinking of ceramic, and looked towards the door frame as Willow and Winter reentered the room, carrying a tray of tea and snacks between them, placing them on the coffee table in the middle of the room.

"It's good to see you two getting along. I have to admit, I was worried." Willow said, moving over to plant a loving kiss on Raven's lips, causing the former bandit queen to blush like a schoolgirl, and Cinder to chuckle quietly. 

"What, us? Fight? Naaah, we both know how'd that end." Raven teased out, shooting Cinder a wink as Willow took the recliner next to her. Winter had poured each of them a mug of tea and had passed it out, before returning to her seat next to Cinder. "So, why don't you tell your mothers how you two met, Winter?" 

Winter let out a low groan, a small flush rising up her neck. "I'm still not sure about calling you Mother, Raven. But very well." She cleared her throat, taking a small sip of her tea, and a smile growing on her face. "We first met when she tried to kill me and Penny so she could steal the Winter Maiden's powers." Cinder let out a groan as the story started, but couldn't help but smile as she leaned into Winter, closing her eyes. She hated to hear how awful she once was, but amongst the present company, she knew she wouldn't be judged too harshly. She could feel the love filling the room, and couldn't help but be thankful.

[unknownjayyyyyyyy]

Deidamia: I can excuse Penthesilea being a war criminal, but I drew the line at you being prideful and your brutality

Achilles: You can excuse her war crimes?! She almost did the same shit I did-

Deidamia: Not Pyrrha =/= Not condoning your actions

Also I have a women bias

[tomomiisasleep]

i never pointed it pu but it's been on my mind for a long time: shouldn't Pyrrha's body fix her nicotine dependency ?

wouldn't Nona's disguise be more successful with facepaint?

and why does Ianthe care about Cam anyways? or is it Gideon who cares? is she even there?

and this is an important but late question: why does the sixth want to open the locked tomb? or do they ?or do they just want to help BOE? I don't understand why. Pyrrha's not a war criminal.

why is it that Ianthe can't see Pyrrha's eyes have changed?

“You challenged the Sixth for its keys,” she said eventually. “You named the time. You backed down, but I had right of reply. We didn’t consent. Or reject. I accept the challenge of the Third.”

wow

“Stop being so fucking dramatic—”

“Staaahp being so fucking dramahhhtic,” Crown mimicked, in a high-pitched voice.

uh

Crown was pleading, “One fight … one last duel. You challenged her with Babs, you know, back on Canaan House. I didn’t do it. So follow through, for me. You always do things for me, don’t you? My heart’s own … my necromancer.”

Prince Ianthe Naberius shuddered.

wow I bet they fuck each other raw everynight

the weird sexual tension between them is suffocating me

seriously

“Yes, Warden, I will always know you.”

ahhhhhhhhhh

“Personally? She’s the last thing I have left of a woman I tried to trick into loving me, and got played myself. And for you? She might be you, kiddie.”

wow Wake really got some game. but she killed her.

The corpse looked at her in such mute, helpless appeal—spoke to her in her first language—that Nona did not have to think about what she did next. She leant down and laid a kiss right on that cool, dead, crooked mouth.

uuuuggghhhhh

that's your first kiss? come on!

ok fine that's like the first time their bodies touched after Gideon died, it is romantic

a living desire to take the corpse in her arms like Kevin’s wanting desire with his dolls. To own, to squeeze, to cosset and destroy.

wow ok Pyrrha uhhh landmine redheads am i right

Harrowhark Nonagesimus couldn’t have rolled aside that damned rock unless it was fresh out of the vat.”

so Pyrrha actually knows that it's open???

“Not my girl. Unlike some of us, I’ve never much seen the allure of an evil cougar,” he said crisply. “Good morning, Gideon.”

I will never look at Cytherea the same again

It was in Kiriona’s every movement—the bright, swift flexions of her arms, and the way she swung her legs, big and brash, and the weirdly easy, light grace with which she moved her dead body.Nona had never seen anyone so sad in her whole short life. It made her nearly afraid to die.

*crying*

“Gideon … G—, you died for nothing.”

they have pre-resurrection memories?

so Nona's not Griddlehark merged spirit, but A.L. and Harrow merged spirit??? is that it??

“Maybe that’s for the best,” said Pyrrha. Then she opened her mouth and said quietly—“A…”

I knew it... Pyrrha did say that she didnt hate her like the others do

“Don’t, don’t, don’t. Don’t do this to me, Pyrrha … Pyrrha, just let me die. It’s nicer. I can’t bear it.”

NO she's just a baby why why why

Then she leant down—she kissed her brusquely and briefly on the forehead—and, startlingly and even more briefly, on the mouth. Nona, who even then could never ditch the lessons of the hand and the mouth, watched that kiss and felt very sad. It was like watching Pyrrha stealing something she didn’t want to take—reaching out for the juicy, cherry-red part of the oven, even when she knew that all it could give her was a burn. And Nona saw Camilla, with her cold, navy blue mouth, and could tell that Camilla understood.Camilla said, “Could you try not to be such a chicken hawk, Pyrrha?”

what if like John had not actually been seperated from A.L.'s soul the whole time and no one coould really be seperated(*sleeptalking*)

[dammit-tazmuir]

Oh absolutely. Regarding "Gideon with a bit missing", Pyrrha actively says G1deon "took more from me than your girl did from you", but we don't question if Pyrrha is still Pyrrha (as far as I know?). She remembers things from before Lyctorhood, remembers G's original name and Alecto, and yeah she's lost a lot between not only the soul fuckery but also the immense weight of time, but she's still Pyrrha. Of course Kiriona is still Gideon.

And with regards to John, she talks about him to Ianthe like a mildly annoying gross embarrassing dad at worst. She genuinely believes she's played people to get to the Tomb because apparently John told her if she killed Alecto, she could be his new cavalier.

Did he actually say that? Did he say something intentionally misleading her to think that? Did he say something that was in no way remotely intended to be that but Gideon wildly misread it by the power of her own sheer dumbassery? We don't know yet, but the important part in this context is Gideon thinks that's true and she wants that outcome. She wants to be a good little prince and the best most honorable personal knight there ever was.

But also, as great as this fandom is about analysis and accepting that this is a "who's your favorite war criminal" series, it feels like there's a large portion of them that draw the line at John to a point they forget or ignore a lot about him, or read a lot of things in the worst faith possible to vilify him all the more. And like, yes he's awful and nothing is justified, he's just also not the maniacal sadist some people wanna treat him as.

Specifically, I feel like those fans forget people LIKE John, in-universe. He is GOOD at making people LIKE him. You don't get to be a cult leader by being bad at it. He's infuriating with the most exhausting sense of humor and utterly pathetic in so many ways and people still want to be around him.

Every lyctor loves John. G1deon was willing to hunt down and kill the only person he'd ever had romantic feelings for because John told him to. (I assume he also never learned about Pyrrha, because doing so would have undone the compartmentalization, same reason Harrow put in failsafes? And I get the impression he was less involved with Wake than Pyrrha was, but surely after 9 months of their 2 year affair he had to know Wake had a child, and may very well have also thought it was his.) Cytherea is offended by the accusation that she hates John; she has loved that man for ten thousand years! The way the OG lyctors talk about time, like oh that was only 20 years ago, you know John wasn't keeping a tight leash at all times. They could have fucked off and as long as they came when called to face RBs or the like he probably would have been too apathetic to go looking for them, but all of them kept coming back, over and over for millennia. After 10,000 + however many years on earth, Augustine and Mercy are still competitive about who loves John more and who's more worthy of John's love in return.

Alecto loves John, after everything he did to her, though that might say more about her than him. Harrow still loves John, after everything he did to her, and after learning everything he did to Alecto and all the people of the old world. Ianthe thinks John is a fucking idiot with a lot of horrible self-destructive coping mechanisms (and she's right) but what's her response? Ugh, she'll have to look out for his interests for him then. There's a chance that's a long con and/or just equating his safety to Houses safety in her case, but even she shows care for him.

John is very good at making people around him like him. Why would Gideon of all people be even a little bit immune?

i've seen some posts like this before but i, personally, think gideon and john have way more of a relationship than some of yall think

like first of all i am firmly team Kiriona Is Gideon - maybe gideon with a little bit missing from the reverse lyctorhood and definitely Depressed Gideon, but there's nothing to suggest she's a wholly new person and not just the same person, who has undergone radical change within the last few months. in fact, there's WAY more evidence to suggest she is the same gideon we have seen before, but bitter and depressed and in different circumstances.

second of all, theres not much evidence to the contrary. while the majority of this book's readership are certified John Antis (with reason!) and are likely to project those sentiments onto gideon, we have no evidence that she actively detests him, or anything of the sort. she certainly has reasons to dislike him (everybody does), but at least in the short glimpses of htn and ntn that we get of their relationship, she doesn't seem to act upon them. she thinks of him as her father.

and also, this is gideon we're talking about. gideon, who has longed for parental & familial affection for her ENTIRE LIFE. gideon, who followed around her mom's skeleton for years bc she was that desperate for that sort of connection. and here comes dad who also just so happens to be god, i don't think she would immediately give up trying to have a relationship with him. plus theres the vindictive prideful part of it, too: 'you all treated me so badly and you didn't even know i was god's only kid, how's that feel' moment. she actually brings that up a lot.

Tolerance (Dragon Ball x RWBY Crossover)

*Pyrrha Nikos groaned, as she temporarily removed her circlet to wipe the sweat from her brow, while Shallot was gorging himself on the roasted meat of animals; as the pair were out camping*

Pyrrha: *annoyed* "Could you not eat like that?"

Shallot: *mouthful* "Emmf hmmf hmmph (Eat like what)?"

Pyrrha: *rolls her eyes* "Nevermind." *places her circlet back on*

Shallot: *blinks, swallowing his food* "Okay, I get the feeling that ya don't like me much."

Pyrrha: "Well, your demeanor is less to be desired, you idolize an arrogant, prideful, and racist war criminal, and don't get me started on your relationship with Weiss."

Shallot: *irritated* "Okay, one, it's not that bad! Two, Vegeta has reasons! Three, I could say the same about your weird relationship with your leader."

Pyrrha: *exhales* "We at least love one another, more than I could say about you and Weiss' tryst."

Shallot: *squints* "So...a fancy way of saying fuckbuddies? Wow, and I thought Weiss was judgy."

Pyrrha: *raises an eyebrow* "Maybe..."

Shallot: *scoffs* "Wanna hear what I think of you since you started this? You're a coward! And I don't mean as a fighter, I mean as someone who just constantly apologizes for shit that's not worth apologizin' for!"

Pyrrha: *turns to Shallot* "It's called being polite--!"

Shallot: "There's bein' polite, and then there's bein' a doormat! That's what you are, lady! The 'Invincible Girl', ha! What a laugh! It's easy to beat the hell outta people who use weapons all the time. Nobody's invincible, not you....or me."

Pyrrha: *furrows her brow once more* "I know that. Cinder gave me that grim reminder." *caresses the scar on her chest* "I suppose it's the pressure of being placed upon a pedestal."

Shallot: *blinks, picking up a roasted deer leg* "Duh, Miss Cereal Mascot." *takes a large bite out of the leg*

Pyrrha: "Though, I've learned to handle the pressure, while you're trying to set yourself up as a 'redeemer'."

Shallot: *stops eating* "Excuse me?"

Pyrrha: "Gohan told me about your situation, and you're trying to make up for the sins of your kin."

*The two fighters sat there silent, while Shallot chows down on his meal*

Pyrrha: "So, what if we don't hate each other as much as we used to?"

Shallot: *blinks* "You sayin' you've actually grown fond of me?"

Pyrrha: *exhales* "Don't push it. I just... tolerate you now."

Shallot: *shrugs* "I guess...I tolerate ya, too."
