After the news of Rooster Teeth’s death, I decided to remake this post of Ruby telling the tale of RWBY+J’s time in the Ever After to the Remnant Alliance as another dose of RWBY positivity, once again inspired by this post by @pmpknsoup.

———————————————————————————

(In Theodore’s office in Shade Academy at early evening, Team RWBY and Jaune face the main members of the Remnant Alliance.)

RUBY: Listen. Thanks, everyone, for your patience. It took a while to figure out how to tell you, and I know being left in the dark about our whereabouts over the remainder of the winter, the whole spring, and the summer has left you anxious, but now, I’ve decided it’s time to reveal what’s been going on. Miss Robyn Hill, I’ll need your Semblance to prove all of this correct.

ROBYN: Uh, okay.

(Robyn steps away from the group, removes her glove, and joins hands with Ruby. Her Semblance turns on and glows green with every piece of information Ruby gives.)

ROBYN: So what happened in the pocket dimension?

RUBY: Well, after I fell, I regained consciousness on a beach surrounded by giant seashells. I tried to hone in on a giant tree, but just ended up looping in circles. Eventually, I had to stop, then found a mouse trying to pull a plant out of the ground. I pulled the plant out for the mouse and fed them a cheese. After the mouse revealed that they could talk, I named them Little, and they decided to stay by my side as I tried to get home. Then we found Weiss and Blake captured in vines by a whole village of talking mice. It didn’t take much convincing to get them to let them go. Then we went to look for Yang and found a creepy Grimm-looking creature moving jerkily. And I mean very creepy. Then Yang came barreling out, already fighting the creature while missing her arm. Then Blake realized we were in our favorite childhood fairy tale, The Girl Who Fell Through the World.

(Confusion and wonder all around. “That fairy tale?” “The Ever After?” “It’s real?”)

OSCAR: That fairy tale actually happened? And the Ever After is real?

RUBY: Which meant the creepy Grimm-like creature was the Jabberwalker from that story. Also, Weiss had a very hard time wrapping her head around the Ever After’s absurdities.

(Weiss blushes with embarrassment.)

WEISS: Did not.

RUBY: Our hands are glowing green, Weiss. Robyn’s Semblance never fails. Then we went to the village in the Crimson Acre to barter with the Jinxy Peddler, who had stolen Yang’s arm, or “took something we weren’t looking at”, according to Little.

EMERALD: You met the Jinxy Peddler?

VELVET: Was he cute?

WEISS: Yeah.

RUBY: And, despite being older than he was in the book, his strategy was the same, selling treasures that are really other items in disguise. If my memory serves me right, he had a yellow scepter, a pink rabbit statue, and a marionette-like doll. Toy soldiers won the scepter, and we only got it back from them because Little tried stealing the marionette, exposing Jinxy’s treasures as fakes. The rabbit statue was another mouse, the scepter was Yang’s arm, and the marionette was one of Penny’s Floating Array swords. The soldiers followed us to arrest us for stealing Yang’s arm, or “royal property”, before I traded Penny’s sword, with a story of her being the greatest warrior to ever live. “She was touched by magic, and she gave her life for thousands. She took a message of hope to the stars, and she saw the world through better eyes.”

(The gang gets emotional, especially Winter and Pietro, who are comforted by their loved ones.)

RUBY: The soldiers escorted us to the Crimson Castle for the birthday of who we thought was the Red King, but turned out to be the Red Prince, who was more of a spoiled brat than Weiss was at Beacon.

YANG: (nudging Weiss) Heh-heh.

RUBY: We challenged him to a game of chess, where he shrunk the girls to the size of chess pawns. Not that it hindered their performance against the Prince’s pawns. When we revealed that we’re humans and beat him, he threw a tantrum and wanted us beheaded, and the Curious Cat rescued us.

(More interested chatter. Nora gets giddy.)

NORA: The Curious Kitty?!

REN: Were they as chatty as the book made them out to be?

RUBY: Mm-hm. Not to mention easily distracted. Anyway, they took us to look for ingredients for a Growgurt Parfait in the Garden Acre, and we told them our life story, then they briefly distracted me with questions about how I’m supposed to save the world now that Salem has two out of four Relics and that Atlas is gone, making me lose them over and over again. After the third time, we met an herbalist, a caterpillar named Herb who seemed to be asking us questions to figure out what medicine he needed to make to help us. Reasonable, as too little medicine is useless, but too much medicine is toxic. Eventually Herb just decided to smoke a hookah for a bit and drugged us with leaves that made us see our past selves tempting us to “go back”. To be free. To be simple. To be whole. To be different. The other girls rejected and had already accepted their failures as something to learn from, but I almost gave in, before the Cat stopped me, then got Herb swallowed by a hole in the ground.

TAI: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up. You guys did drugs?

QROW: Don’t let alcoholism be next, girls.

RUBY: Anyway, the Cat led us to a market to keep looking for the Parfait ingredients. Along the way, they told us about a process that occurs when an Afteran is no longer doing the assigned role that they are supposed to be, triggered by them losing their ways, wearing out, doubting themselves, or even just finishing their assigned tasks, upon which they are taken to the Great Tree and repurposed into someone or something else with a new identity, personality, and role. Their memories are erased in the process, but the heart very rarely forgets. They don’t die. They ascend.

(Such a concept catches the interest of the gang.)

REMNANT ALLIANCE: Ooh.

RUBY: And then, the market was attacked by Jabberwalkers using Neopolitan’s Semblance. Yeah, Neopolitan fell with us, too.

(The members of the Alliance who know who Neo was grow worried.)

REN: Uh-oh.

TAI: Neopolitan? Who’s that?

RUBY: Roman Torchwick’s parter. She’s held me responsible for his death at the Fall of Beacon and wanted me dead to avenge him.

RAVEN: Was she that chick I saved Yang from on the train on Mountain Glenn?

RUBY: Yep. Then I disposed of her by opening her umbrella on an Atlas airship in the sky during the Fall of Beacon. Apparently she survived that fall without any of those Grimm surrounding us eating her.

OSCAR: Team JNPR and I last fought her right after Ironwood declared us fugitives.

RUBY: Then she fought us in the pocket dimension between here and Solitas. Heck, she was the reason Yang, Blake, and I fell. Anyway, we had all of the ingredients for the Parfait, and the girls grew back to normal size just as we got assistance from the Rusted Knight riding his white rabbit.

WHITLEY: Did Weiss go goo-goo eyes the second she laid eyes on him? She had a crush on him when she was younger.

BLAKE: I think everyone had a crush on the Rusted Knight at some point.

RUBY: Well, things didn’t help when he turned out to be a grown-up Jaune with longer hair and a beard, who grabbed a fruit that sent him back in time twenty years right after he landed.

(The gang gasps at the new knowledge of the Rusted Knight being not only Jaune, of all people, but Jaune thrown backwards in time, grown older, and living without his friends for so long.)

NORA: Oh, my Gods, Jaune!

JAUNE: I was stuck there isolated from other human contact, too.

YANG: Weiss certainly loved how mature he was.

RUBY: And the white rabbit was a jackalope Jaune named Juniper.

NORA: After his team? Aww!

RUBY: Then Jaune told us his perspective on the Tree, that he believed it was death, that Alyx backstabbed her brother Lewis, the author of the fairy tale, who wrote the story the way he wished it happened, and that the Cat couldn’t be trusted. Before long, we got caught in a “punderstorm”, which creates a physical manifestation of a mental or emotional problem. Jaune, Weiss, Juniper, and I were sent to metaphorical and literal crossroads, while Yang and Blake were sent to two broken, wooden, rickety bridges connected to a giant pillar that they could only make more planks to advance toward if they were honest about their feelings for each other. Yeah, Yang and Blake are girlfriends now.

(Everyone’s hearts melt, all proud for the Bees.)

REMNANT ALLIANCE: Aww!

NORA: See, Ren? I told you there was more going on!

KALI: Our baby girl found love?

TAI: With my sunny little dragon?

RAVEN: Wow. She really is your daughter, Tai.

RUBY: Then the Cat bailed on us after mistaking us for selfishly using them to get home, and once the storm passed, Jaune let us spend the night in his house in the Origami Acre, then he introduced us the next morning to a village of paper stars called the Paper Pleasers whose purpose was finished and kept trying to go to the Tree to gain a new purpose, but Jaune had been stopping them for as long as he knew them. He also named them after all of us. On Jaune’s to-do list, I saw Ren, Ruby, Oscar, Nora, Neptune, and Pyrrha. Anyway, a Paper Pleaser told us that Jaune had nothing to worry about, that the Tree isn’t death, it’s rebirth. They were just listening to Jaune so as to not hurt his feelings. Then Neo’s Jabberwalkers attacked, and while we were distracted, the Paper Pleasers finally managed to off themselves via destroying the koi pond dam, then when the girls asked me to help comfort Jaune, I blew up at them for caring more about everyone else’s feelings or getting home, taking my mental health for granted and ignoring my problems…

(Everyone leans in anxiously. Things are getting even more interesting, but not in a good way.)

(Weiss, Blake, Yang, and Jaune exchange looks of guilt.)

RUBY: …then I ran away, came across the Abandoned Acre, and entered a random mansion, where Neo had made clone illusions of Roman Torchwick, Penny, Pyrrha, Professor Lionheart, Clover, Ozpin, and Ironwood, and used them to physically and psychologically abuse me, beating me up ruthlessly and blaming me for their deaths, and when the chaos was over, I felt no will to live or be myself anymore, not helped by Torchwick’s question: “Do you really think you can stand to watch more of your friends fall? Or are you ready to admit the truth, that the world would just be better off without you?”

(The gang regards Ruby with sorrow over her being trampled by her trauma. Ozpin can be heard sniffling.)

RUBY: Then Neo offered me tea made from leaves from the Tree intended to wipe me from existence, then the Cat blasted her away, but then turned out to be evil and tried to possess me, while revealing that they had been trying to wear me down, then Neo fought them off and stomped Little to death, then I finally gave in, drank the tea, offing myself, and got swallowed by the Tree.

YANG: (tearing up) Oh, Rubes.

RUBY: Then I met a Blacksmith, who I also found at the market, or, rather, she found me, and then she presented me with a choice to either change my identity or be myself. I saw my mom’s weapon and was treated to a vision of the night she left with Raven on another one of Ozpin’s secret missions and never came back.

(Tai turns accusingly at Raven.)

TAI: Raven?

YANG: She lied? She left with you?

RAVEN: Yeah… Hey, like I said to her, “First time for everything.”

(The gang gives her a look.)

RAVEN: Really? Sheesh. Tough crowd.

HARE: (to Ruby) Wait. What did you say your mother’s name was again?

RUBY: Summer.

HARE: (muttering) So, her uncle is Qrow, her father is Taiyang, and her sister’s mother is Raven. All are members of Team STRQ. Summer, Summer, Summer… (out loud) Summer Rose, the leader of Team STRQ, was your mother?

REMNANT ALLIANCE (walla): Summer?…Summer Rose?…The previous silver-eyed Huntress?…That’s Summer Rose’s daughter?

RUBY: Yeah. And then, I finally remembered my mom’s words, “I love you just the way you are,” and chose to be myself. And I. Came. Back, and helped the girls fight the Cat. And we won.

(Cheers and applause all around.)

RUBY: And then Neo killed the Cat with the Jabberwalkers, who, by the way, are the only creatures to prevent Ascension if they eat Afterans.

BLAKE: On my count, there were a whopping five of them.

REMNANT ALLIANCE (walla): Five?…Five of them?…Five Jabberwalkers?

SUN: Talk about overkill.

ELM: (after doing the multiplication math in her head) That’s gotta be over ninety teeth!

RUBY: And, according to the girls, Neo was possessed by the Cat, and she chose to accept Torchwick’s death and undergo her own Ascension. Oh, and Little ascended, too, into who we called Somewhat, and succeeded Jaune as the protector of the Ever After. By then, we had made it to the Tree by coming to terms with the truth, we’ll never be perfect, that even the most skilled Huntsmen and Huntresses have failed, and we walked through the door back home, landed inside the plane of the Tree, met the Blacksmith again at her workshop, and when we noticed two statues of the Brother Gods, she told us their backstory. That the Ever After was overfilled with plants and dangerous wildlife in its primordial years, but the Brothers were created to clear it out. Then they created the Afterans as well as the different acres for them to live in. They designed new creations that would replace them in maintaining the Ever After. This was how the Cat was created. They later created the Jabberwalker as a form of destruction. However, the two disagreed on whether it disrupted the balance or not and began to wage war.

OSCAR AND OZPIN: (both scoff) What else is new?

RUBY: The Blacksmith told us how balance isn’t supposed to be two opposing forces locked in battle; balance is an ecosystem, an organism, and a living thing, thus balance isn’t restored with force or manipulation, it’s restored naturally, requiring love and patience to see it through to the end. The Gods got to Remnant because the Ever After created a door to a “greater beyond” for them, so they can leave and experiment in creating new worlds as much as they like.

NORA: (snickering) So the Tree basically said, “You think you have life sorted out? Then get out of my house”?

RUBY: Pretty much.

(Everyone laughs at the Brother Gods basically being kicked out of the house by their “mommy”. Some Gods they are.)

YANG: (wiping a tear) Oh, my Gods, that’s such a hilarious way of looking at it. Thanks, Nora.

RUBY: Anyway, the Blacksmith told us that we have impacted the Ever After significantly; just like Somewhat, Alyx, and Lewis, and that the Cat caused a bad impact. Then she de-aged Jaune, but let him keep his memories, which explains the white streak in his hair, and made us a portal in the desert on the outskirts of the city, and now you’re all caught up.

(Ruby lets go of Robyn’s hand. The freedom fighter rejoins the rest of the Alliance.)

RUBY: So, I’m happy to announce that I’m not throwing in the towel anytime soon. We will not rest until the world is saved from Salem and her forces, for we are Team Remnant, led by me, Ruby Rose, leader of Team RWBY, offspring of Team STRQ, trainee at Beacon Academy, officially licensed Huntress, worldwide beacon of hope, and Silver-Eyed Warrior of peace!

REMNANT ALLIANCE (walla): Yes!…Great!…Alright!…Thank goodness…Welcome back, Ruby…Good to have you back, kid…Way to go, Ruby!…That’s my girl!

YANG: We’re so proud of you, Ruby.

RUBY: Thanks, guys. You and your support mean the world to me. And I’m just as proud to call you guys family. All of you.

(Everyone looks at Ruby with warmed hearts.)

Publishers' Binding Thursday

This week's publishers' binding example is a classic for young girls—Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm by American educator, author, and composer Kate Douglas Wiggin. Published in 1903 by Houghton Mifflin & Co, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm was an instant bestseller and was adapted for both stage and screen, with a 1938 film adaptation starring Shirley Temple.

I believe this is a first edition of the book but a fourth printing, judging by several lines in the book that were changed between the first printing and this one. The cover features a vignette of a brick house with green shutters surrounded by trees and flowers with another image of a lovely little stream flowing through a meadow below. The spine features flowering vines climbing up it, along with the title, author, and publisher. The title page has the same illustration of a house that is on the front cover, but printed in a nice spring green.

I've finished Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm for @novelmonger's book rec exchange!! I finished the book quite a bit ago but just got around to writing up my thoughts, and I thought it would be neat to post my pages on it from my book journal I'm trying to keep this year:

To expand on this a little bit:

I went in having no idea that Anne of Green Gables was heavily inspired by this book, so I got several chapters in and was going "hold on....wait a minute....what's going on?" Quite a delightful surprise! While Rebecca reminds me of Anne, and their circumstances are very similar, she also reminds me quite a lot of one of Montgomery's other protagonists, Emily, from Emily of New Moon. (That reminds me, I'm definitely due for a reread on that one...)

I loved/hated/loved Aunt Jane's story. So sad...

Aunt Miranda was probably the most interesting character to read about. While I definitely prefer Marilla when it comes to this character archetype, Aunt Miranda was very interesting to me because while she does have a "redemption," so to speak, it's a bit more subtle. Yes, she leaves everything to Rebecca, and its lovely to see her respect for her grow, it never actually change how generally grumpy/unapproachable/rigid she is, even on her deathbed. It felt very realistic and I really appreciated it.

My favorite part was the bit where Rebecca accidentally invites over the missionary family--so hilarious and wholesome!

Generally, just some pretty good takes on faith throughout the novel.

So...yeah. Let's talk about that Adam Ladd situation. Normally, I'm a bit more forgiving of age-gaps in fiction--I usually take them on a case-by-case basis, as I think the time and context of every relationship needs to be taken into account. (For example--Emma and Mr. Knightley? One of my favorites! They are sixteen years apart! And I know happy, healthy married couples in real life with pretty large age gaps.) But this was a bit much for me. I have no idea if they actually end up together in the sequel--I could find very little information about it--but I really hope not. I don't have anything against Adam as a character otherwise, but this whole thing rubbed me the wrong way. But didn't ruin the novel for me!

Anyway, that's all I've got--thank you so much for the rec, I really enjoyed it!

My fiancé has the bizarrely specific belief that, when a person has one given name that can be found in the Bible and another given name that cannot, the Biblical one almost always goes first. He and his brother both have a Biblical first name and a middle name that originated as a surname, so I guess that's true in his family, but he thinks that everyone in the habit of giving out Biblical names at all does this. He doesn't think there's a moral or aesthetic imperative to follow this "rule," but he does believe it to be pretty much universal. However, my first name is Emily (Latin, doesn't appear in the Bible, a saint's name to appease the Catholic side of the family) and my middle name is a popular Biblical name. I mentioned this to him when he expressed his name-order belief, and he said, "Yeah, I always wondered why your name was like that. I thought it was weird."

#my mom's side of the family isn't actually much for biblical names #i have an aunt named rebecca #but even she was named after the shirley temple movie version of rebecca of sunnybrook farm #my dad's side of the family is irish catholic and uses the same ten names ad nauseam

something about the specific genre of Victorian/Edwardian literature and media about a young girl on a farm who teaches all the crotchety old people around her to love again does something to me

#I don’t really have a massive opinion on it all but #interesting how the girls in these stories have to be a ray of angelic light - a Madonna if you will - to be valuable #like god forbid you’re not a nurturing homemaker LMAO #but Anne especially compared to Rebecca of sunnybrook farm or secret garden at least has a story arc

I BURN

Blake: There it is now…It’s so massive…When it hits, I don’t think anything will be left of this Kingdom…

Xanthe: What is that?

Theodore: Aah, a falling star! The Most Wicked and Evilest Grimm Queen must be desperate!

Rowena: This can’t be happening! Why is there a flaming ball of death descending upon us?!

Xanthe: What do we do? Do we run and evacuate everyone?

Yang: No, there’s not enough time even if we tried…I see. Now I understand. So this is what they were talking about, my purpose in this life. It was all so that I could strike back against that witch!

Blake: Yang?

Yang: Jaune, the new effects of your Semblance still remain untested. Now is the time for you to demonstrate them to their fullest.

Jaune: What do you want me to do?

Yang: Take my hand and say only one thing: “I entrust this body to you—”.

Ruby: Now I get it, Sis…

Weiss: What did you just say?

Ruby: With the fall of Atlas, we no long have a way to defend against or destroy something as utterly destructive as a meteor strike. But Yang’s Semblance allows her to absorb hits from her opponents to power herself up and attack with greater strength. The more powerful the attack, the stronger her resulting counterattack will be. If she can do that in the air, before the meteor has a chance to strike…she might just be able to destroy it before it hits the ground…

Weiss: Whoa! Wait a dang minute! Are you suggesting she fly up there and let that thing HIT her?!

Yang: Don’t worry, Snow Angel. A tremendous obstacle such as this is perfect for me to show off the strength of my Semblance.

Weiss: You can’t! That thing will completely annihilate your Soul!

Yang: *nervously chuckles* We won’t know until I’ve tried! Regardless, there’s no time to debate the matter. We don’t have long before that blasted thing arrives.

Ruby: …Jaune!

Jaune: *takes Yang’s hand* I entrust this body to you…

Yang & Jaune: *their Souls merge and begin shining like the Sun*

Yang: Hraaaaaahhh!!! I feel it! I can feel the power of our bond flowing within me! *jumps and rockets into the sky at an astonishing speed*

Emerald: She really jumped?!

Neo: Chirp?!

Ruby: That’s no ordinary leap. She’s being propelled by a truly massive eruption of Aura!

SKY

Yang: Now’s the time for me to send this thing flying! People of Remnant! Open your eyes, and turn your gaze upwards! This leap is the very pinnacle of Human Potential! It is the irrational act that will triumph over this obstacle! The wings of freedom! If this ball of death means to destroy us all, then I too shall become a star—a burning star that lights the world with hope! Graaaaaahhh! *collides with the meteor*

VACUO

Blake: She really did take it head on?! No!

Weiss: Dang it, why’d she crash into it?! She could’ve deflected it or something, so she wouldn’t get so hurt…

Ruby: No…She was prepared for this. For her Semblance to be at its most powerful…she would need to be at her most gravely injured…

SKY

Yang: Hahahahaha! Wonderful! This pain is wonderful! This pain is life! I can feel my power about to explode! I BURN!!! *punches the meteor, destroying it*

MONSTRA MK II

Tyrian: Th-th-this can’t be right! Where did these children get a surface-to-air weapon…?!

Salem: No, they have no such weapon. This must be the work of one of Ozpin’s Guardians. Remember this sight well, Tyrain. This is the true face of our new enemy.

VACUO

Rowena: Aaah!

Blake: Incredible…The entire mass is completely evaporated!

Weiss: She really did it…But where is she now?

Ruby: There! I can see she falling back down!

Weiss: Tch, that big dolt!

Yang: *falls through several Glyphs, slowing her down, before crashing into the ground*

Yang: …Oh, hello, Ice Queen…Did you catch me with those trusty Glyphs of yours?

Weiss: Cut the crap! All the people you stirred up like a idiot were watching you, you know! Can’t just smash face-first into the ground. You’re supposed to at least land on your feet! Heck, you shouldn’t be falling at all. You’re supposed to land properly, no matter what! That’s…that’s just what you gotta do, all right?

Ruby: Sis, these wounds are…

Jaune: …Yes. I’m afraid Yang’s Soul isn’t going to last much longer…

Yang: Haha, your words cut deep, Weiss. I should expect as much from someone as uptight as you.

Weiss: Who are you calling uptight?! It’s not fair, saying stuff like that at a time like this! You’re all banged up…Nowhere left for me to even hit you!

Yang: Go ahead. I’m sure…I’d actually feel it…this time.

Theodore: Miss Xiao Long, are you…leaving us?

Yang: Hahaha, course not. I’ll never truly be gone. Not as long as you keep me alive within your heart…That’s all I ask…my friends… *fades into dust*

Rowena: *sniffles*

Xanthe: Miss Xiao Long…I can’t believe she did all that to save us…to save Vacuo…

Ruby: …We shouldn’t cry. We mustn’t. She would not want us to be sad because of her. She would have wanted us to smile and Keep Moving Forward!

Box Breathing...

Have you heard of box breathing? I read that not only do US Navy Seals do it daily, but many have tried it. I cannot attest to it’s benefits, but unless you have breathing problems or a lung disease that prohibits you from SAFELY trying it…why not? Post a comment below, how it worked for you!!
