Papa Arc: So you say you love my son, but how do I know you love him?
Neo: Oh, dearest father in law, have I ever told you the story of the 'Pineapple woman'?
Papa Arc: The 'Pineapple woman'? No, what's that?
Neo: Their was a woman who laid her hands on my love, your son, once.
Papa Arc: Really, what did you do? Beat her up?
Neo let's out a silent chuckle as she crossed one leg over the other, all the while a champagne glass was in her hand, taking a small sip she continued.
Neo: No, physical pain was far too easy for her. People heal from that, you know how they say; 'fear not those who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul' .
Papa Arc: So you...killed her soul?
Neo: You'd be surprised to hear how ubiquitous pineapples are within our world... We never really notice cause we don't look for them.
Neo takes another sip of her champagne.
Neo: But once you start looking (smirks), they're everywhere.
Papa Arc: What are you talking about?
Neo: People are ignorant to the fact at how closely we tread how thin the line is between sanity and insanity.
Papa Arc just looks at her with an eyebrow raised.
Neo: Now, of course... I pushed those boundaries with that would be thief, and it all started when I placed a single pineapple in front of her porch, of course, when she opened her doors she is confused but only for a couple of seconds, she actually took the pineapple in and even ate it.
Papa Arc: So you...poisoned the pineapple.
Neo just gives another silent giggle.
Neo: Nope, as I said, a physical malady would be far too easy for this woman... instead, she would find with increasing frequency pineapples at places she would always visit.
Papa Arc: Uh what?
Neo: You see, the mind is an expert at pattern recognition. So exquisitely so that it can find patterns that aren't even there!
Neo: So if you want to suggest a pattern, all the mind needs is a push in the right direction, and it shall find a path on its own.
Papa Arc: O-okay, so what did you do?
Neo: What I did was simple, really. I would place a pineapple like I did with her porch, but instead, I would place it in her locker or her favorite bench. I remember even putting it on her windowsill in her dorm once. She did a double glance, but within that second, I made sure it wasn't there. All to suggest to her mind that she~
Papa Arc: Was going insane... my god.
Neo: Yes~. Funny enough, I no longer had to place pineapples anymore like I said there everywhere in our world. We just never see them because we don't look for them. Seek, and you shall find~
Neo took another sip this one a bit long and dragged out as Papa Arc just wondered what the hell his son got himself engaged to.
Neo: annnd oh did my girl seek~
Neo: It was by pure chance really that her five year anniversary for her work was coming up, and what did her company give her for her loyalty... a fruit basket with a pineapple as the center piece!
Papa Arc could only gulp at the crazed look on Neo's face.
Neo: I heard the breakdown was biblical. Of course, she lost her job, and then when she came home to gain comfort from her lover, I'm which the psychotic weight was too much for them to handle, they broke up, she was all alone and so she tried to find comfort within her family and they cut ties as well cause nothing she said made sense!
Neo: So now she was all alone in this world, and I knew this was my perfect chance to deliver the final blow in which it came in the form of a strong courageous man, a white knight, nothing like that of my sweet Jaune but a sweet heart still.
Neo: He whispered sweet nothings in her ear. Nothing but pure acceptance, no judgment for all her shortcomings. Loving her for who she is~
Neo: And at night, when they did what lovers do, oh, how surprised was she to hear that his safe word was...
A dark and evil smile stretched across Neo's face.
Neo: Pineapple.
Papa Arc eyes widened.
Neo: I hear that the crime scene was quite hellish... two huntsman couldn't even contain their lunch!
Neo: I unraveled her at the seams...funny that all it took was a pineapple.
Papa Arc: W-welcome to the family!
Just then, Jaune walks in.
Jaune: Oh hey hun, hey dad, oh here I brought us some snacks.
Jaune pulled out a small zip lock bag containing some...
Jaune: Want some pineapples, dad?
Papa Arc just paled.
Papa Arc: Uh, no, son, actually I gotta go. Your mom needs some help with a thing. Bye!
Papa Arc briskly got up and walked away much to Jaune's confusion but he just shrugged all the while Neo leaned her head onto Jaune's shoulder and sigh in contentment as she reached in to zip lock bag of pineapple slices, she giggled once more.
Truly, it was funny.

What is up with Jaune Arc?
So I have a theory about why Jaune flinched from Ruby's eyes and several other mysteries about our favorite banana noodle
So I was a strong proponent of the Jaune is a descendant of Salem theory a while back during volume 6, it just made sense. It explained the flinching, Tyrians weird interest, and even why Ozpin allowed an untrained nobody to enter Beacon when he saw Pyrrha unlock his aura during initiation
(Seriously, why does no one bring that up!? Every betrayal fic, expulsion au, and complaints about Jaune sneaking into Beacon seem to forget that Ozpin straight up saw Jaune unlock his aura. Like Bruh...)
Anyways once that theory was said to be false by the show writers I was stumped
Why can a boy with no training and having his aura unlocked 5 minutes ago be able to hold back a fully grown deathstalker with one arm and have the aura control to walk away from a 100ft drop with barely a bruise?
How is his able to at least be passible for weeks with no proper training during the Jaundice arc? How is it that he is able to catch up to warriors who have been training for years in a matter of months? Why did Tyrian have such an interest in him during volume 4?
I assumed that these were just plot holes that I would never get a good answer to. Until volume 9 that is
We now know that Jaune Arc is the Rusted Knight, a storybook character who in the very least predates the Great War and is known across Remnant. This means for all of Jaune’s existence upon Remnant he has simultaneously existed in the Ever After. Which means that the minute Jaune was born, he had already been a fully fledged combatant for decades, if not centuries
My theory is that the reason Jaune is so "special" is because of his paradoxal nature
Jaune Arc knows the basics of combat and how to fight off of muscle memory that isn't his yet. His aura control is stellar upon being unlocked since he's been using his semblance for years now. His aura size is so large because he now literally has double the amount a normal person should have because there are two of him. He is a being who shares a soul with another, himself in a world parallel to Remnant
Tyrian is interested in him beacause he can see somethings weird about his aura. A popular headcanon about Tyrian is that he has poor eyesight like real scorpions but can see aura just fine
So when he takes a close look at Jaune he can see a faint overlay of something, or someone else. A much older, stronger aura than this novice huntsman should possibly have
Its why Jaune flinched during Rubys silver eye blast at Haven. For a brief moment he was exposed to the pure essence of a being from the Ever After, the essence of the God of Light. And during that brief moment, the two parallel worlds were bridged, and the Rusted Knight and Jaune Arc felt each other for the first time
A tiny jolt, one that was soon brushed off but a feeling of suddenly not being alone in your very soul coming and going like a flash would cause anyone to flinch. Makes me wonder how Rusted Jaune felt during that moment
I know this is a long shot but notice that the only times Jaunes aura has broken was after being slapped by a mech while boosting Nora, on the bridge during his fight with Cinder, and in the Ever After from the Curious Cat. One of those times was after he pulled off a truly absurd feat, and the other two both happened above and within the other world, where the rest of his soul resided
Coming out of the Ever After Jaune might no longer have absurdly large aura, since he now is whole once more and only has as much as one person should have
Sorry for the long post but this has been bugging me for awhile and I thought this might be a good theory for why Jaune is the way he is.
TLDR; Jaune Arc is connected Rusted Jaune and both share a soul causing weird things about Jaune
————————
Formatted for ease of reading
Okay but this is a BRILLIANT freaking theory about all the nonsense going on with Jaune, and it would honestly make a lot of stuff make sense
Why was Tyrian interested in him? He has more Aura than any one person should be able to hold
Why did Jaune flinch at the silver eyes when no one else did? He very briefly was connected to the version of him in the Ever After
Why did his Aura break so quickly on the bridges when before it took being bitchslapped by a mile high mech AND boosting Nora? Now he was “in” the Ever After and only able to draw on one pool of Aura
It even explains pretty mundane stuff like how he was able to catch up to his friends after only a year or two of training. It’s the same reason Oscar was able to, he’s pulling on “someone else’s” muscle memory
Even his symbol! TWO arcs, not one, TWO Jaune Arcs, not one
God this is a really cool theory, I REALLY love this idea. Thank you for sharing

There’s that face
Weiss was silent as she watched Jaune clean Crocea Mors. Every inch of his armor and shield was covered in rust. But his sword? It was spotless. If it wasn’t for its broken tip she would have thought it was pristine.
“Why didn’t tend to your armor?” Weiss turned to where the question originated from and saw Yang sitting forward with here eyes narrowed in thought. “Its probably not good for it.”
Jaune gave her a brief sad smile before turning back to his blade to continue to clean it. “I tried. But no matter how much i scrubbed it never went off. Over time it just built up. Heh. Not that this place cares. I’ve tested it out on all sorts of stuff and its never failed me so its not like the inside is rusted.”
“May I try?” Weiss realized until she saw Jaune’s tired eyes glance at her.
He shrugged and held out the rag, a strip of red fabric similar to the one tying his hair back, out to her. “Sure be my guest.“
Weiss stood and went over to him before sitting in front of his chest plate and gently took the rag. “I’m sorry you went through this Jaune.”
Jaune smirked as he said, “It wasn’t so bad...”
Weiss placed the rag on his chest and slowly began to wipe. “I’m sure that’s what you convinced yourself.”
Jaune said nothing as he looked away, his fists clenching causing his gauntlets to creak
Weiss swallowed, “You don’t have to pretend to be ok you know. You don’t have to keep fighting. We’re here now. And frankly we’re not going anywhere without you tied to at least one of us.” Weiss paused her rubbing as she felt some of the rust give under her hand. But quickly started up again. “We care about you. And If we had known you were here. We would have torn everything apart to get to you.” She felt even more of the rust give way to her rubbing, and saw the small particles floating away in the wind in her peripheral vision. “And when we get out of here. We will be with you, no matter what comes next. I’ll be there for you.”
Jaune said nothing as he turned to look at her, tears falling softy down his cheeks. “Its been twenty years... I don’t think I can be the Jaune you used to know...”
Weiss palmed his bearded cheek with her free hand and smiled sadly. “You don’t need to be anything other than yourself... We can figure out the rest later.” She stopped rubbing as she felt the rest of the rust give and slowly lifted her hand away from his chest revealing a small circle of polished armor in a sea of rust as well as her reflection. “There, There’s that face. I’ve been needing a mirror.”
Jaune choked back a laugh. “Did you just make a joke?”
Weiss smirked and looked at him smugly. “Someone has to and Yang’s never been that good at it.”
At that Jaune threw his head back and openly laughed.

Something I’ve noticed about RWDE and the asshole side of RWBY criticism is just how bad they are at reading anything into the things they don’t like beyond their initial dislike of them. They never say “I think X was done poorly, the writers were probably trying to accomplish Y but they fell short because Z and it hurts the show because ABC.” It’s always “X SUCKS AND THE WRITERS ARE AWFUL PEOPLE WHO HATE WRITING.”
Like, perfect example: I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about the pacing in the most recent RWBY episode, and I agree with a lot of their complaints. We weren’t given any time to see WBY’s reactions to Ruby’s choice in episode 8, how it affected them and what they thought about it before finding her at the tree. Hell, the way the start of the episode is written it basically feels like everyone forgets they exist so they can deal with Jaune’s trauma; nobody even really acts like Ruby just, you know, Did That. I get that WBY knows by now ascension isn’t death and Ruby’s probably not gone for good, but it’s still a hell of a sight to witness. And there needed to be, like, two more minutes dealing with that fallout before connecting it to Jaune’s catharsis and their mutual understanding that the people they care for aren’t gone forever. I know RWBY doesn’t have unlimited money to throw around, but it really feels like a critical scene was just cut out wholesome.
But there is a stark difference between how regular fans and RWDE voice these complaints. On one side, you’ve got normal people saying “Yeah, that was rushed, it needed a scene of WBY processing what just happened and it feels kind of callous for them to seemingly get over it so fast.” And on the other side, you’ve got the usual asshats going “OMG YANG HATES HER SISTER AND MILES AND KERRY ARE JERKING OFF JAUNE CAUSE HE’S MILES’ SELF-INSERT AND THEY HATE RUBY AND THEY HATE WOMEN ARGLABARLG.” No, you insufferable nimrods, it’s a very simple writing error, nothing more, nothing less. And you really don’t have to expend much brainpower to take that failure in context and move on. It doesn’t ruin the episode, it doesn’t take away from Yang’s scene with Ruby’s tree form, and unless you’re either stupid or deliberately arguing in bad faith, it’s not hard to take it on its own terms without blowing it out of proportion.
Despite what RWDE would have you believe, RWBY fans are fine with criticism. The reasonable, measured complaints I’ve seen from fans about this episode are proof of that. We have no problem discussing the issues with this show. But the bad-faith, poorly-researched, bias-driven, self-serving drivel that spills from these so-called critics’ mouths has no business sharing the same space as actual analysis. And we’re not going to insult our own intelligence pretending otherwise.
In short: RWBY fans have no problem with reasonable critiques. Maybe all these “critics” should try actually, you know, making some one of these days.

Jaune: I can't believe you destroyed my bed.
Nora: It was a bacon accident.
Jaune: I can't even fathom what that's supposed to mean. All I know is that I have no where to sleep now.
Nora: Cheer up, you can just share a bed with Pyrrha.
Jaune, blushing: I-I can't do that!
Nora: Why not?
Jaune, blushing: Cause she's a girl and I'm a boy!
Nora:......so? Renny and I sleep together and he's a boy. What's the problem?
Jaune, blushing more: W-what if we accidentally cuddled while sleeping?
Nora, shrugging: Cuddling with Pyrrha Nikos sounds more like a dream come true if anything.
Jaune: Nora!
Nora: Relax. That stuff only happens in fanfictions and we live in reality. I promise you that the chances of that happening is low.
Jaune, sighing: Okay, fine....I guess I'll ask Pyrrha if it's okay.
Nora, smiling: That's the spirit. I doubt Pyrrha is going to cuddle into you tonight. That'll be too cliche.
*LATER*
Pyrrha: *sleeping peacefully*
Jaune, blushing: *internally* Just go to sleep. Just go to sleep. Don't think about the fact that you're sharing the bed with the most beautiful girl at beacon. Just relax and-
*Suddenly Jaune feels arms wrap around him from behind*
Jaune, blushings madly: OH FUCK, IT'S HAPPENING! ITS ACTUALLY HAPPENING!!!
*Pyrrha's grip tightens*
Jaune, internally: WHAT DO I DO?! WHAT DO I DO!? OH GOD, I FEEL THEM PRESSING AGAINST BACK! GO AWAY DIRTY THOUGHTS! GO AWAY DIRTY THOUGHTS!
*suddenly one of Pyrrha's arms move to Jaune's neck*
Jaune, internally:....wait, what? What is she doing no-
*Pyrrha's grip tightens*
Jaune, internally: W-w-what is s-she doi-
*Pyrrha tightens her grip again*
Jaune, in a chokehold: *internally* FUCK FUCK FUCK, I CANT BREATH! GO BACK TO CUDDLING! GO BACK TO CUDDLING! *Starts thrashing violently* WHAT IS SHE DOING?!
Pyrrha, smiling while sleeping peacefully: *dreaming about choking out Cardin in a spar*
Jaune: *thrashes slowly stops as he loses consciousness*
Pyrrha: *Lessens her grip*
Jaune: Zzzzzzzz
Pyrrha: Zzzzzzzz

Saphron: Who are you! And, where is, Jaune!
Nora: Whoa whoa whoa! Easy, easy! Saphron, Terra, this is, Jeanne, Jeanne Arc. Jeanne, this is, Saphron, and Terra. Jaune’s older sister, and wife.
Jeanne: H-Hi…?
Saphron: Oh… You’re the girl who’s been messing up my little brothers life!
Jeanne: W-Well… I-It’s more so the people around my life that have been making it hard for, Jaune… I-I-I didn’t do anything to him! I would never! He’s as much of a innocent victim as I am!
Saphron: Right…
May: She’s telling the truth.
Terra: How is she?
May: Little Ms. Perfect here…
Jeanne: I’m not perfect…
May: Randomly swaps place with, Jaune, and she shows up here. Everyone get to learn how great, and wonderful, Jeanne is, and then they fall in love with her.
Jeanne: They what?!
May: Then they see how poor, Jaune is compared to her, and then they think, Jaune’s a pile of garbage, and everyone hates him. Meanwhile everyone is trying to linch, Jaune in her world because he ‘took’ their, ‘Angel.’
Saphron: WHAT?!
Terra: Is that true?!
Jeanne: Well… not everyone was trying to kill him…
Saphron: And, how many is that; Six, seven people?
Jeanne: …
Jeanne: Four…?
Saphron: You sure? Cause you don’t sound very sure.
Jeanne: i can count on at least two.
Terra: And, who the hell would those people be?!
Ren: The female version of me.
Nora: And, me~!
Terra: And, since everyone is gender-swapped there, the male version of, Nora as well.
Nora: No. There are only female, Nora’s in existence. This is a Multiversal Universal Law that cannot be broken. A law that not even, It can brake…
PMRSTJ: …
Saphron: I-Is she always like this…?
Ren: You get used to it…
Terra: S-Seriously…?!
Pyrrha: No, no you don’t.
Saphron: Oh, oh no…
Jeanne: So… Uhh… W-Who are you two?
Saphron: Hmm? Oh! I’m Saphron Cotta Arc, and this is my wife, Terra Cotta Arc.
Terra: Hello.
Jeanne: Oh, I see. I have male counter parts in my world. Sash, and Trevor Cotta Arc. Also gay, and married.
Saphron: Good for them.
Jeanne: And, for you two as well~! But, uhh… W-Who’s kid is that? Did, Jaune knock you up, May?!
May: No he didn’t! That’s their kid!
Jeanne: Yours?!
Saphron: Yes, that’s our son, Adrian Cotta Arc.
Jeanne: Jaune’s an uncle?!
Nora: Yep! Aren’t you an aunt in your world? Since their usual a double, yet opposite in your world.
Jeanne: No! I’m not an aunt with an adorable little nephew! Oh this is so unfair! So unfair!
Ren: Well, Jaune finally has something over you. Yay.
May: That’s not really something we should celebrate. Not without, Jaune that is.
Nora: We should celebrate! With cake!
May: Whoo! Cake!
Jeanne: Uhhh… C-Can I hold him?
Saphron: Adrian?
Jeanne: Yeah, m-may I?
Saphron: Uhh…?
Pyrrha: She wouldn’t hurt him; its not, Jeanne’s nature to harm a child.
Jeanne: I’m insulted you think I would honestly.
Saphron: Fine… You can hold him.
Pyrrha: Okay, here you go.
Adrian: Nawwhh!
Jeanne: Uhhh…?
Pyrrha: Let’s try again.
Adrian: NAWWHHH!!!
Jeanne: W-What…?
Pyrrha: I… I don’t think he likes you…
Jeanne: H-He doesn’t…?
Nora: I think because, Jaune was holding him, and then because you showed he’s scared of you, and think’s you did something to his uncle.
May: And, Adrian is really particular to his, Uncle. I don’t think he likes you.
Jeanne: W-Wait… Just because I showed up, and took, Jaune’s place… Adrian hates me…?
Pyrrha: Isn’t that why most of the people in your world hate, Jaune?
Terra: That’s why people hate him?
Nora: Among other reasons.
Jeanne: So, d-does this mean I won’t get to hold my adorable sorta-not nephew?
Saphron: Uhh… Yeah, I don’t think he’ll let you hold him.
Jeanne: Ohh…
(Thud!)
Saphron: And, she fainted…
Nora: I don’t think she’s used to being rejected like that.
Jaune: And, she’s incredibly jealous that I have an adorable little nephew, and she doesn’t.
PM: Jaune!
Adrian: Jauw!
Nora: Up you go!
Jaune: Adrian! Ah thank gods you’re okay… Come here you!
Adrian: Ah-hahaha!
Jaune: I’m happy to see you too you little gremlin.
Saphron: Where did you go, Jaune?
Jaune: Jeanne’s version of our home.
Terra: Oh, what was that like?
Jaune: Well…
~~~
Jaune: AHHHHHH!!!
Juniper: What the hell?! Jaune? Is that you?
Jaune: Shitshitshitshit! No nonononono! Not now! Not now of all times?!!
Juniper: Jaune? Jaune what’s wrong?
Jaune: I was swapped with, Jeanne, while I was holding, Adrian, oh fuck!
Juniper: Adrian; Who is, Adrian?
Jaune: My nephew! He’s only two years old! Did I drop him during the swap?! Oh fuck!
Juniper: You have a nephew?
Jaune: Yeah, and you have a niece here, no?
Juniper: No, I don’t have any grandchildren.
Jaune: Really? That’s odd; You think there’d be an, Adrian here, or at least a female version. That’s how it goes, at least I thought so. You sure there isn’t some bastard hiding about your sons never told you about? No that stupid; You’d strung them up from the ceiling, and gutted them like a fish if they did that.
Juniper: Oh, I most certainly would… Say, Jaune?
Jaune: Yes, Mmm… Juniper? Sorry, you may be, mom, but you’re not my, Mom.
Juniper: That’s perfectly understandable. Anyway, do you have any photos of your dear nephew?
Jaune: Oh, yeah! Loads of them! Want to see?
Juniper: I would love to~!
~~~
Saphron: That was a terrible mistake…
Jaune: Absolutely terrible mistake. But, not for me.
Terra: What happened?
Jaune: Well…

Theo: So did, Mom call us here because you’re here, Jaune?
Jaune: Yes, and no. And, for that: I am sorry… oh so, so sorry…
Alkimos: And, what do you mean by that?
Juniper: Hey, boys~!
Galahad: Anyone else feel a chill…?
Alex: I don’t like that smile…
Juniper: Guess what, Jaune has in his universe that we don’t have?
Philip: A motorbike…?
Juniper: No~! He has an adoration little nephew, see~? His name is, Adrian~!
Galahad: Uh oh…
Alex: Jaune, what have you done…?!
Jaune: Sorry…
~~~
Jaune: I swapped out before anything else happened, but considering she’s, Mom, but not Mom…
Saphron: Oh those poor bastards…
Terra: And, Jeanne’s going back to see them…
Nora: Well, they’re fucked.
Jaune: Why do you say that? She seemed just fine when I last saw her.
Pyrrha: No really a question of what happened, more like what didn’t happen…
Jaune: Eh?
Jaune: Oh…
Jaune: Oh shit…
~~~
Juniper: You sorry lot had one job, one job! And, where is my adorable grankids that I can spoil?!
Philip: We’re sorry, Mom!
Theo: We’ll do better, Mom!
Alkimos: Jaune, do something!
Richard: No, wait, Jeanne’s back.

Brave
(I think I'm gonna phase out of my previous style and go into my normal writing style but I want yall to decide so ill put the poll in the end of this fic. Also merry Christmas everyone)
To say Weiss was incredible was a major understatement, atleast for one jaune arc. Despite the constant flash freezing she does to him he keeps trying... She didn't enjoy the constant attempts. She wouldn't nor shouldnt allow him to get to her, knowing her luck it's probably a facade. The moment he has her is the moment she gets trapped again.
Trapped like her own home was.
Trapped, Locked away and only released so others may gloat they were in her presence.
Trapped, and suffering.
But yet today, on the start of Christmas break no less. It was different. Her team, was out either with family or spending time with the other two.
Meanwhile Weiss? Weiss was in the library bored as looked for a nice book to read before stopping on... A children's book? A book made for children amongst the arsenal detailing the history of huntsman and huntresses. This... Intrigued Weiss, she grabbed it and pulled it out and read the title "the brave dragon"... Strange.
She decided to take it to the back of the library and began to read.
"a long, long time ago. A dragon who's heart was as beautiful as a diamond soon had it be frozen by the king of dragons. The once elegant and courageous dragon turned to isolation and bitterness. The humans that ones befriended it turned to its enemies with the dragon destroying it with its icy flame. The beautiful land and help cultivated was now A reduced to nothing but white hot ash. And so that dragon stayed alone and bitter. Until one day, a knight arrived to find this dragon, to require it's help, as the Greatest warrior of the knights home was gone, so the knight came to it and begged only to receive nothing but refusal and the dragons fury. Eventually the knight left causing a growing emptiness in the dragons frozen heart. Eventually the dragon would fly to the knight as it saw the knight fighting a giant bird that terrorized the people. With the bird striking the knight gravely wounding him and as the bird was about to strike the dragon would stand in its way as its heart was engulfed with flame as it forced the beast to return to its flock as unbeknownst to the dragon, it's cold heart had finally been allowed to melt. Soon after days of worrying the knight was able to finally return and thank the dragon for its bravery."
And the story ended there as Weiss was a tad annoyed for some reason. She didn't know why but something about the fact the story ended abruptly just... It bugged her. Weiss would sigh as she got back and put the book away as she noticed someone else coming through the library.. someone that should probably not be at school during the break.
One jaune arc was looking at the books in the shelves as he seemed indecisive as Weiss watch out of morbid curiosity before hearing another pair of footsteps as cardin and the rest of his flock entered and were chatting about something related to "putting fanaus bitches in their place" or whatever braindead idea they had.. which was somewhat ironic as one of the members, lark had shown attraction to a faunus. Regardless Weiss paid no more mind than what they deserved as her curiosity was now on jaune as he grabbed a book about the history of huntsmen fighting styles as he was walking toward the exit before being met with cardin.
"hey there jaune-jaune, how's your back feeling?" Cardin spoke as he had a smug look on his face as jaune just grumbled. "L-look cardin I don't have time for you and your crows, now may I please pass through?" Jaune spoke as he attempted to keep his voice steady as he tried to squeeze through before cardin put a hand on jaunes shoulder as cardin leaned close to his ear. "I dont think i feel like it. Besides.. I wanna use my favorite punching bag." Cardin spoke softly as jaunes face went pale, Weiss watched on expecting to see pyrrha show up to tell them to knock it off but so far.. nothing. Jaune stepped back and raised his fists as weiss raised an eyebrow as she didn't hear what cardin said but whatever it was jaune was preparing to fight.
"I'm not doing this cardin. I-im done with you." Jaune spoke as cardin just smiled before punching him in the gut as jaune opened his mouth shout in pain but nothing escaped his mouth.
Cardin then proceeded to grab him by his hair and kick him in the face as jaune stumbled back into a book shelf.
Weiss felt a pit in her stomach as she balled up her hands into a fist as something in her wanted to just grab Cardin and shove him into the ground. Weiss didn't know why she felt like this.. but she needed to keep her cool and wait for pyr-
"no invincible girl save you from this jauney-boy." Cardin taunted as he grabbed jaune by his shirt but before anything else could happen Cardin was flash frozen in a block of ice as his goons and jaune looked to see Weiss pointing myrtenaster at cardin as she had a scowl on her face.
"sometimes pyrrha, I worry your care for the dolt is rubbing off on me" Weiss thought to herself as she lowered myrtenaster. "Your boss will unfreeze soon. I advise you take him to your dorm and make sure he releases that dolt." Weiss spoke calmly as his goons nodded and picked up their frozen leader as he released jaune before they ran off. Leaving a confused jaune as he adjusted his posture as he stared at Weiss as he was about to say something.
"don't.. I shouldn't need to do your job of defending yourself." Weiss interrupted as her voice was cold with her turning away and walking out before arriving at her dorm as her face was red.
"dolt!"

Can we see how everyone reacts to Jaune being an absolute menace in the sparring arena. Like his opponent was trying to provoke him by insulting him, but he then insulted his family/friends and just goes full cunning supervillain in the fight.
You know what, sure. Here's what some of that may look like.
Asshole: Jeez, take the training wheels off me Sarge, will ya? Putting me up against Arc? Might as well leave one of the training bots with me.
Reese: COME ON J-MAN! KICK HIS ASS!
Jaune: *A nervous thumbs up* I'll try my best!
Asshole: You know I feel bad for your teammates hanging on too a pussy like you. If I were in charge, I would have given them all a good dicking by now.
Jaune: ... (Alright. Best isn't going to be good enough for this guy. I need to do my worst.) *Starts stealthily pouring some Combustion Dust into his sheath*
Sarge: Ready? Begin! *Shoots starting shotgun*
Jaune: *Charges in with his sword ready, but his shield still in its sheath form*
Asshole: In a hurry to lose? Well if you insist!
Jaune: *Suddenly slams his sword into it's sheath, setting off the Combustion Dust and shooting his sword off like flintlock bullet*
Asshole: What the-? *Crocea Mors slams into his face pommel first* FUCK MY EYE!
Jaune: *Runs up and kicks him in the nuts*
Asshole: *Bowls over clutching his balls* GAAH!
Jaune: *Fishes out an Earth Crystal from his pack, holds it above his head before dumping like a sixth of his Aura into his hand. His hand is soon encased in a small boulder the size of a basket ball, which he then leads the falling trajectory of his arm right on top of the Asshole's head*
Asshole: *Has the boulder slammed right on top of his head, causing the rock to split in half and his Aura to shimmer and break, knocking him unconscious*
Audience:...
May: Whoa...
Neon: Holy shit!
Reese: *Jumps up and cheer* FUCK YEAH! Thats what I'm talking about! Suck it biotch!!

Jaune Arc- The Most Horrendous Knight Ever. (Twin Revisions)
Silence My Minions!! Now as you know yesterday night I did a why Jaune is a horrible knight post and the what not. But today I deleted it cause some stans really just wanna say that he is "isnt a knight." but knight inspired. Aight. Aight! I might as well hop onto the rewriting post and use everything to my knowledge. Cause holy hell almighty this was giving me a headache.
and having me in my bed like:
"I know this motherfucker did not just cherry-pick my whole post"
So yes, I deleted and a few of my replies and decided to get some help for this one. By the way huge thank you @burgers-and-diatribe for giving me a helping hand on this one. Y'all go check'em out and giv'em a high five. Cause they were a huge help for this revision.
So without further ado. Lets get into it.
Now before hand we're just going to get into it a huge part of RWBY's characters whether it be extra, protagonist, or antagonistic characters are inspired by either Fairytale, Historical, or Mythological figures. This can also include the Romanticization of Fairytales as well.
Now Jaune Arc is based off the historically legendary female knight of the Hundred Years War. Joan of Arc. Who was well known for having been granted a vision by the Archangel, Michael to save France from British Domination. This would later on culminate into her arrival at Orleans and participating in major battles and even after her death it would pave the way for the French to claim victory in the Hundred Years War several decades later.
Jaune would immediately trip over and fall flat on his face cause he can't even hold a candle up to Joan of Arc. Because it would better fit the historical allusion if he:
His Semblance was based around seeing into the future Which despite
Transitioning Into A Woman In Later Volumes or Being Born as A Woman and being called Jeanne.
Having erratic visions of Fire, being related to Cinder and a possible future of her death or a battle that could lead to her death.
Possibly her death inspiring others or paving the way for a major victory.
At the same time, they dont allude to their historical counterparts unlike how Jaune does so. Instead they go for the Paladin route due to it being such a huge Dungeons and Dragons concept as he achieves Aura Amplification which is none other than the Lay On Hands ability minus the healing factor of its ability.
I know Jaune is a Fantasy Knight but at the same time in Volume Nine he is called the RUSTED KNIGHT. in which at that point he either is or inspired by the romanticized concepts of the Code of Chivalry.
Before I hop into this lets just get this out of the way
Real Life Knights =/= Fantasy Knights
This is because Real Life Knights are by far not the romanticized concepts that we read or watch in media. As Real Knights were just overall horrendous, cruel, and even lazy. This is because most knights that we know in real life were in fact noblemen born into knighthood beginning their training no less than the age of fifteen. Then made into a squire and then into a knight.
Now knights in our world pillaged, murder, or even did many more horrible things in order for their status to be seen during the Middle Ages. As there have been many many accounts of knights doing horrendous atrocities as well.
As one account during the Age of Chivalry (The 11th to the 12th Century) as a historian recounts Sir John Arundel and his band of knights taking refuge in a convent violating the Nuns and stealing from them and throwing them overboard once they were all but used up. Not to mention real knights would usually face off against other knights. Sometimes in duels to resolve petty conflicts, entertainment or in festivals as well.
As the book Chivalry in Medieval England by Nigel Saul states; "Knights only fought for three things. Land, Gold, and War Booty."
Now as for Fantasy Knights this is not applicable to their Real Life counterparts as they are no means perfect as well. But its once again those romanticized concepts of what we see knights as. Noble, Kind, Understanding and Powerful altogether.
Now do they follow the concepts of Code of Chivalry? Ehhhh. Maybe depending on the character(s) in media.
As some Fantasy Knights are either, Sellswords, Free Knights/Paladins, Servants to a Lord, King or Queen, or Baron. Hell or even just bandits.
Now there are only two accounts of the Code of Chivalry
Song of Roland’s Code of Chivalry:
Fear God and His Church
Serve the liege lord in valor and faith
Protect the weak and defenseless
Live by honor and for glory
Respect the honor of women
King Arthurs version of the Code of Chivalry:
Honor
Honesty
Loyalty
Valor
Now in my last post I did say Jaune should have been following those concepts of chivalry and how he falls flat in some areas of it. Until I was corrected saying that I shouldnt be applying those especially with how "vague" it is for something that is from a romanticized fairytale. It was then when I realized that if Jaune were to be a true knight he would have swear fealty for a Lord or King to follow those Codes of Chivalric Faith.
Now can I not apply those things to Jaune. No.
But Can I make him to the point where he was inspired by the Codes of Chivalry. Since Rooster Teeth made Jaune as a fictional character following a real life concept (Aka the Romanticized Concepts of the Codes of Chivalry), such as Knighthood.
Also the fact that monarchs did exist in Ancient Remnant in Volume 6 which further cements the fact the knights existed and with Ozma/Ozpin being a knight during that time.
Its almost as if saying Robyn Hill isnt based off of the Romanticization of Robin Hood because this, this, and that. Or because it does not in exist in Remnant. Once again RWBY's characters are based off of Fairytales, Historical, or Mythological figures we know of IRL. and yes even Romanticized Fairytales can count as well.
Yes I know some people will come at me and call me a Jaune Hater just because me and many many others rag on him. But at the same time... I rooted for him to become better. And due to idiotic writing decisions from Miles Luna and making him into a Ron Stoppable, shoe horning him into important scenes and the like. It only made me hate him more. The
I Like Him For the Character He Could Have Become.
Instead he is a failure to live up to his historical allusion and even fails at being a knight/ paladin archetype.
TL;DR: Another revision on how I explain why Jaune fails at being a Joan of Arc Allusion and a Knight Allusion
#RWDE#//Okay Fucking hell this may be the last time I'll talk about Jaune#//Hell I wont even do anymore Jaune shit after this#//Cause I really wanna talk about Sun Wukong#//Or even Curious Cat

Imma be honest, the implications of the way the episode handled Jaune's relationship with the paper people gave me The Ick.
Because our first impression of them via Jaune is that they're literally too naive and accident-prone to be left to their own devices, to the point he has to prevent daily disasters in their town on the clock and they can't be relied to not walk into danger (i.e. the paper person who almost walked into a puddle before Jaune pulled them away).
And then as soon as Jaune leaves, one approaches RWBY and very articulately explains that they're not actually stupid accident-prone wubbies but they're deliberately causing the accidents in hopes it will return them to the tree because Jaune will not let them go through their reincarnation at the tree. Or the next stage of their life cycle. Whatever is the best way to phrase it.
I technically know what they're going for with it, that Jaune is resting a lot of his mental health on the paper people and his ability to keep them from disaster (which includes them going back to the tree in his mind), and he's so traumatized to the point it's screwing with his ability to make objective decisions to the paper people's detriment.
But then the writers make him fucking infantilize them, by saying "they don't know what they want" and that they're "...too stupid... to trust". Which the paper people around him visibly wilt at.
It comes off as a Freudian slip from him that he thinks the paper people he's self-assigned himself to take care of are too stupid to make their own decisions and implying that they're unable to think for themselves when we just saw evidence to the contrary.
Not to mention he's an outsider that is, traumatized or not, imposing his viewpoint of the world on a different culture. The Aftereans logically know better than him the functions of the tree and its interactions between it and them. It'd be easier to swallow if he didn't literally belittle their agency and their intelligence, which is really fucked up of him to say about the people he's using as a coping mechanism and not even apologize to them if it was supposed to be a heat of the moment thing.
And to top it all off, the episode cloaks the conflict between the paper people and Jaune in this weirdly unnecessary self-harm vibe. Most of their solutions to get themselves to go to the tree involves them, to put it lightly, destroying their physical form in some capacity, which is like... are we supposed to see this as Jaune driving them to this point unintentionally? Are we supposed to see them as effectively suicidal and needing intervention? They don't even get to stand up for themselves, RWBY are the ones who... try and just make things worse because they're handling Jaune's mental state with about as much delicacy as buttering toast with an anvil.
Like what the hell is this? I actually sort of liked the subversion that the paper people weren't just naive to the point of self-harm but it ends up turning into "Jaune is using these people of another culture to prop up his mental health and imposing his views on them, albeit because he had a very Bad Experience associated with the tree, but also this is driving the paper people to take self-harm adjacent actions and Jaune also does not actually respect them because he insults their intelligence and ability to make decisions".
Yes, so much this. Your second to last paragraph really highlights my own problem with the conflict because am I supposed to be rooting for a self-harm/suicide allegory? Hard agree with what you've laid out above: Jaune is an outsider, he's infantilizing them, they're actually intelligent people who have the right to make their own decisions, and I would be 100% on board with a "Jaune needs to recognize that his trauma and desire to protect people is unintentionally hurting loved ones" message if... the thing they weren't arguing over is death. Or I'd be, like, 99% on board if we'd firmly established that Jaune is wrong about the tree and this "death" is actually a good, culturally different thing he needs to learn to embrace. But looking at what the Volume has given us, that's really not the case:
The Prince came back as a totally different person: a child instead of an adult and one who now wants to behead humans instead of helping them
The caterpillar (to my mind) was actually helping the girls by asking the hard-hitting questions, but that's framed as a flaw that needs to be corrected. He's basically hypnotized by the cat and forcibly dragged to the tree - forcibly "fixed"
Jaune, a character the audience trusts, slams into the story with very strong, "THE TREE IS EVIL STAY AWAY" beliefs
Based on what we currently know, this is somewhat supported by the supposedly evil little girl using it to get back home and the nice little boy disappearing
Just last episode the character who most wants them to go to the tree, the Cat, is framed as having manipulated the girls (regardless of whether we agree with that)
So far there's been NOTHING to imply that the tree is a good thing except a) a fairy tale that the girls have consistently learned is not accurate and b) a village of paper people who are so determined to reach it that they would crush/burn/dissolve/cut their bodies to get there. That is mighty uncomfy to me. The paper people being so firm in the tree being a good thing - within the context of the whole Volume - didn't make me go, "Oh damn, Jaune is wrong and he needs to step back, despite having the best intentions." It made me go, "This world feels...iffy and there's a strong implication that the residents have been manipulated into thinking the tree is an unambiguously good thing." Which, of course, is what Jaune is really saying. His 'they're stupid' rant, while yes, is incredibly insulting, is really only wrong if Jaune is wrong. If he's right that the tree is a nefarious force that the Ever Afterans are ignorant to because they've grown up on this pro-tree narrative then, uh... yeah? I think he's justified in trying to save them?
In full honesty here what my brain immediately equated this to was a cult. We have a group of people going, "Yes! We must release ourselves from these physical forms! Once that is done we will Ascend and become better versions of ourselves! We know this is true because we've been told by people in power (the Cat) that it's true. Those who do not accept the change will be forced against their will before the tree, but lucky for us we recognize how Good it truly is and will do anything - anything - to get there :D" Real talk, but did no one else get that vibe? Seeing the flashbacks of the paper people wandering around with scissors didn't make me think, "Huh. Interesting cultural difference that Jaune just needs to learn to accept." It made me go, "Is this the fantasy version of drinking the Kool-Aid?" If you're going to have your story frame death as a celebrated rebirth and position one of your characters as in the wrong for denying them that, you have to ACTUALLY PROVE to the audience that this version of death is not, in fact, equal to our own. Volume 9 hasn't done that. As laid out above, it's gone in the opposite direction and heavily implied that this "Ascension is The Best :3" narrative is suuuuuper unreliable... so why are we mad at Jaune again? Yes, he could absolutely be going about this with FAR more tact and respect, but I'm not yet convinced that him saving the village against their will is a bad thing, no more than I'd be in the wrong for knocking a cup of poison out of a friend's hand because they think that'll get them to some utopian realm. The story doesn't clarify whether this is a true danger or not, but it's SUPER weird to me that Team RWBY accepts this at face value, after everything they've experienced here. "Jeez, Jaune, what's wrong with you? Just let them kill themselves! It's clearly what they want. Quit playing white savior and help another friend move on already :/" Because yeah, giving Jaune this conflict after Penny is... a choice. We could have had any situation where Jaune is obsessively protecting people in an effort to alleviate his guilt, but having him protect people who, like Penny, WANT to die? Serious question, but what is RWBY trying to say?? Every person who claims they want to die is 100% correct and you should respect their wishes post-hast? Don't challenge Penny's belief that she can't be healed after 20 minutes in a human body! Don't challenge the shady belief that going to a potentially evil tree will result in a better life by erasing your former self! If 👏someone👏 wants👏 to 👏die 👏you👏 must👏 help👏 them👏 die!
But, as said, it's not fully explained either way. We don't know if the paper people are correct and Jaune should have let them perish years ago. We don't know if Jaune is correct and he was saving them from an uncertain, potentially terrible fate. Plus, the story has done nothing to convince us, the outsiders, that Ascension is actually the best thing for these people, regardless of the fact that it's clearly the most accepted. When the paper person said they wanted to make things that were more durable, my immediate response was, "Then do that? You might be paper, but nothing is stopping you from taking those rocks Jaune was handing you and building something permanent." If RWBY were any other show, I'd think that the end moral was that we're all capable of change and improvement, despite (or even because of) the lives we've been given. You don't need to go off and get some magical "fix" that gives you a new and better purpose, you embrace your own sense of self and build on that, crafting your own purpose. Growth. Experience. Maturity. Literally what is the point of Little, a mouse discovering their own purpose without any tree's influence, if the show is going to push a Ascension is Good Actually lesson? The fact remains that Ever After is not an actual culture we need to learn to respect, it's a fictional allegory for the girl's journey. So... what are they supposed to be learning here? "Do what you were assigned until you're deemed useless. Then you can die"??
So we have this story that's introduced a "Yay suicide!" perspective without actually determining whether that's a reliable perspective or not and this follows an episode where a hero begs for assisted suicide because she's determined that she's most useful to others when she's dead... seriously what kind of moral is RWBY going for? The issues of all this aside, I still don't know what to do with the final scene. I mean, based on where I'm currently at I really feel for Jaune, but is that the purpose of the scene? Am I supposed to be devastated that countless lives were lost, or am I supposed to celebrate that the paper people are finally free? Were they a family whose death is a tragedy, or are they a "make believe" family whose Ascension is a victory? I don't know, but really, any "Fantasy suicide is good, actually" message is NOT the kind of story RWBY should be trying to tackle. I didn't like it with Penny and I sure don't like it now.
"Oh no, misguided Jaune kept someone from dismembering themselves and all their friends. How could he! Be more culturally sensitive, Jaune." Is that really the message RWBY is going for? That's a completely honest question. Is that really what we're supposed to take away from this episode? Death is just a cultural difference here, so shame on the traumatized human from the Death is Permanent World for denying them their murder and suicide? Like Y E A H you can write that, it's your story, but hooo boy that is not my personal cup of tea.

Jaune vs Rwby
Yang: Guys it’s Jaune. We have nothing to fear.
Jaune: No.
Yang: What?
Jaune: Run it.
Yang: What?
Jaune: Run me my fade.
Ruby: Wait really? You really want to fight us?
Jaune: ABSOLUTELY!
Ruby: Why?
Jaune: Why?! Oh little bitch. I had to kill Penny. Endanger millions of people. Almost got blown up. Now, I’m trapped on island. Alone. No teammates. All because I was loyal to your dumb ass.
Blake: Jaune, I understand-
Jaune: Cat bitch, you best shut the F*** up, you first on my list.
Blake: Whoa why you mad at-
Jaune: After everything you been through. After confronting and coming with terms with your past. Why- please tell me WHY would you repeat the one thing that caused you a lot of problems? Which was associating with criminals!
Weiss: Well if wasn’t for those ‘criminals’ we wouldn’t have been able sneak in Atlas bases and be able to launch Amity Arena.
Jaune: True. But what happened after the launch? Did anyone show up? Did anyone come to help?
Weiss: … …
Ruby: Well it was more made to warn other kingdoms about Salem. They needed to be prepared.
Jaune: You do know that once everyone starts asking for conformation about Salem and learn about the fall of Atlas, which was known to be the most ADVANCED kingdom in the world, could cause panic. You know that right?
Yang: Well at least we were putting some effort.
Jaune: Goldy Locks your ass is all talk. You haven’t done shit. Even on my team, you was barely useful. Ren, Oscar and myself were carrying you the whole time.
Yang: … …
Jaune: Weiss, you had f***** dust in the chamber. Why did you not use that to repair the walls?
Weiss: I mean I-
Jaune: I have semblance to increase your performance, we could have done something.
Weiss: Well I proved my father cheated-
Jaune: Your father was just business man who we wanted no business with. In all honesty neither him nor Robyn were the best choice for council members. Plus the council barely did anything.
Weiss: … ….
Jaune: So again, run me my fade.
Yang: Okay fine. This will be easy anyways.
Ruby: Yeah. Jaune can’t beat us.
Me: oh its not about whether he can beat you or not.
Ruby: Huh.
Me: It’s about whether can he give you that work.
Ruby: Well-
Me: Ruby, you do know Jaune was almost able to react to Tyrian’s speed right?
Ruby: Well my semblance-
Me: Mercury was able to knock you out of it. Plus, I don’t know if that was fluke but Jaune was fast enough to defend Oscar out of nowhere. Neo didn’t even see him coming. In fact, neither did Cinder.
Yang: My semblance-
Me: How much power can store in your body take?
Yang: Um.
Me: Remember Jaune can amplify you and you will eventually have to release your semblance because it could build up to where you can’t contain it.
Yang: So.
Me: Meaning just like Izuku with One for All,if your body can’t handle the output of your power, then you could end up breaking a few bones.
Yang: Oh dear god.
Blake: Don’t worry Yang, Jaune can’t handle-
Me: Make sure you plenty of dust in chamber.
Blake: Why? I don’t want to hurt Jaune.
Me: Amplification effect the semblance. Remember Ren semblance was unable to cover thousands of people. Jaune helped with that.
Blake: And?
Me: Your semblance literally leaves a past version of yourself for one second. Imagen what could happen if Jaune grabs that clone and amplifies it to stay longer.
Blake He’s just grabbing a- oh my gosh.
Me: Yeah if something happens to your past self wouldn’t it affect you in the present?
Blake: Oh shit and I’m out of dust.
Weiss: Then it’s up to me.
Me: Name one time your summons were useful.
Weiss: Jaune not fast plus it’s four against one.
Me: True you right. But let me add on a special detail in a form a question. Has ever used his grand sword mode?
Ruby: No.
Me: Did Pietro ever removed it?
Ruby: We don’t know.
Me: Not only that doesn’t Jaune have hard light dust and gravity dust?
RWBY: … …
Me: And if I’m correct Jaune uses gravity dust to create waves right?
Ruby: *nervously* And?
Me: Hmm so wouldn’t using it offensive basically be equivalent of using a Gestuga Tensho or Excalibur.
Weiss: Oh my goodness! Give us a break!
Me: Also, fun fact, hard light dust can burn you skin. I wonder how would it affect metal.
Yang: OH COME ON!
Me: Good luck ladies.
RWBY and Jaune fan: … … …
Me: What?
RWBY fan: You do know everything say is not canon and is only a theory.
Me: I mean, yeah, duh, I’m no fool. But if everything I said could be true, then ya’ll would hate him and RT even more.
Jaune fan: How come?
Me: If what I said is to be true, then why didn’t Jaune try none those methods on any of his enemies.
RWBY and Jaune fan: … … …
Jaune fan: My god man.
RWBY fan: The plot damn it.
(Hello. It’s been a while since I lasted posted anything. I’m not died though so please hear me out. I’ve been working on a few projects to get used to process that I really want to learn. I will show you shortly. Also I will release some artwork.)

Mercury wasn't sure what the hell was going, but Cinder was currently engaged in a battle with that Arc kid, and he didn't know what kind of bullshit training 'Arc' he went through, but God damn it all he was pushing a 'Maidened' Cinder Fall to her limits and when she was pushed to her limits she got sloppy.
Precise attacks turned into tidal waves that would cause foes and allies alike to be in harms way.
Mercury kicked on of the Atlas soldiers away and into a building as just above them a gigantic fireball loomed over head like a crashing star.
Mercury looked at his old teammate Emerald, who had come here with Team RWBY and Nora, Ren, and Ozcar.
Mercury: In case you guys aren't aware, we have two titans battling it out, and Cinder is doing everything...*points to gigantic fireball* and I mean everything to kill him.
Team RWBY took the hint and immediately began to move, but Ren, Nora, and Oscar were conflicted. They didn't wanna leave Jaune to fight Cinder alone, but Mercury made a move to Emerald and N.R.O.
Mercury: Look, trust me or not, but we can get back to killing each other later, but right now, we need to hurry up and run.
CatJaune: No, you won't.
The voice sent chills down their spine as their standing, causing everyone to freeze on the spot as their standing between his two teammates Nora and Ren was Jaune.
His eyes a sinister blue cruel and curious, two cat eye slits on the side of his face underneath his eyes with two stripes going along the side of his cheeks. He wasn't even acknowledging his teams presence, eyes looking at the fireball.
CatJaune: I herby forbid every person in a 100-meter radius from moving until I say the word 'Now!'.
As he spoke, in a two toned voice, one of playful cruelness, the other a dying whisper, Cinders gigantic fireball grew ever closer.
CatJaune: Of course I'll kill anyone who violates that rule.
Jaune let out a raspy chuckle as he held out his hand and slowly began to bring them closer and closer, as if timing when the fireball would hit.
CatJaune: Not yet.
As his hands got closer and closer, so did the big fireball.
CatJaune: Still not yet.
As he said this, CatJaune activated his own aura just as the fireball was close to descending upon them.
Everyone could only look on and wait til given the order to move. They prepared their legs, activated their aura, and said a prayer as they felt the scorching heat from the Cinders attack begin to melt away at everything...thoughts began to fill fill their minds if maybe they wouldn't be able to move if their legs were melted to the concrete! Was-was this the end?
CatJaune: Now! *slaps his hands together*
Like a breath of fresh air, everyone jumped away as best they could from the attack, Nora looked back at her team leader, who just stood their as the fireball came crashing down onto him.
Nora: Jaune!
The explosion destroyed buildings and killed plenty unable to escape the blast zone or were just too weak to survive it.
The heroes, while able to escape the blast, could not escape the blowback or its heat, as Emerald, Nora, Ozcar, and Ren all hit various pieces of debris, causing their auras to take a good brunt of the hit leaving them down for the moment to recover.
Meanwhile, back atop flying Grimm Cinder Fall, sunk to her feat, as that last major fireball took a lot out of her.
Cinder: Hehahaha!
Cinder: All that talk, Arc, and for what *huff* for nothing ! Go enjoy the afterlife with your precious Pyrrha!
She was about to further taunt when she looked over the Nevermore to see an ominous golden glow coming from the ground, to which was then followed up by a mocking laugh which caused Cinder eyes to widen in shock.
Down on the ground, cracking his neck as if the attack he just tanked was nothing more than a crick in his neck, was CatJaune. He looked up and laughed at Cinders shocked face.
CatJaune: All that smoke and tantrum, for a simple tap, how disappointing a maiden like yourself should be stronger but what can i expect from power stolen *sigh* I'm getting less curious about you by the minute Cinder, in fact...the pale moonlights illumination makes it easier to see how pathetic you are.
That comment, that little comment, One which she has heard all her life and at those times, never ever effected her In any way, but too here this weakling, this nobody talk down upon her like she was trash.
No, she wouldn't have it. She would make this knight kneel and kiss her feet, and once then, and only then would she rip out his heart and feed it to him!
Activating her maiden powers, she flew up into the air, and in a rage, she decended upon her nemesis, fully intent on killing this cockroach of a huntsman!

Twins AU
So with this being bonded by Aura thing that twins share, imagine during V9 Yang is hit with a tidal wave of pain and everyone panics because they have no idea what’s happening
It all makes sense when they find Jaune
It was twenty years worth of experience being shared with Yang in a fraction of a second, all of it avalanching down onto her because Jaune went back in time and it’s all catching up to her now
Imagine how horrified she is to see her brother, *her twin,* suddenly so many years older than her
When Yang first lands in the Ever After, she is in agony
White hot and blinding, it’s like a tidal wave of emotions and pain sweep over her, bowling her over. It feels like her arm is being cut off all over again, like her mind is breaking, like she’s blinking and a life age of anguish and sorrow is passing by.
And then it’s over
Yang lays under the canopy of an unfamiliar forest. Her vision is blurry and her limbs are tingling. She wonders distantly if this is how Blake feels when she uses her Semblance, all sort of detached from her body
She can’t place it, but it feels like something inside of her is wrong
Not like something bad happened (although it did) but like something vital inside of her is missing. Something is just… not right, like the whole world is off kilter somehow
Is this what being dead feels like?
Blinding pain and then just feeling not quite all there for the rest of eternity?
She’s shaken out of her musings very abruptly when a raccoon riding a wagon of garbage all but gleefully grabs her prosthetic and runs away
Things happen very quickly after that
She doesn’t catch the raccoon, but she IS accosted by a giant monster that isn’t a Grimm. She doesn’t beat the monster, but she DOES get found by the rest of her team. They don’t know how to get home, but they DO realize they’re in a fairy tale
The Girl Who Fell Through The World, with all of its quirky and charismatic characters
Yang gets her arm back from the Jinxy Peddler. She helps her team battle the Red Prince-formerly-King. The Curious Cat rescues them and pesters them with questions
The Herbalist is a new face, one not mentioned in the story. Yang finally verbalizes what it turns out she knew all along. She doesn’t have to be symmetrical, or whole, or easy to understand. She is a Huntress
She doesn’t have to be whole. When her smoke-self asks if she wants that, Yang can’t help but think of her twin up in Vacuo. Gods, what he must be going through
Feeling her get hurt destroyed him enough, but he must think she’s dead
Maybe that’s why she feels so off, so not-right. Because the other half of her soul is in another dimension
While they travel to the market, Yang mentions the pain she felt when she landed
Blake postulates that it was caused by her lack of Aura, but Weiss’s Aura broke as well, and she didn’t feel anything. Ruby, as taciturn as she’s been, suggests that maybe her prosthetic didn’t like the journey through dimensions, but Yang didn’t have any pain when first entering the Crossroads
Yang wonders aloud whether Jaune was hurt during the time she was falling, and their bond amplified it somehow. The Curious Cat blinks up at her when she mentions him, and smiles knowingly
She doesn’t know what to make of that
Until very suddenly she does
The market is attacked. Neo sends copies of the Jabberwalker to wreck mayhem. And finally, the last missing character from the story appears: The Rusted Knight
He drives the Jabberwalker away and seems to freeze at the sight of them. Yang isn’t surprised, according to the story he’s supposed to be the only competent fighter in the whole place. When copies of the monster appear, he doesn’t try to fight, prioritizing getting them to safety while the Cat covers their escape
The Knight leads them to the top floor of the market while it burns behind them. They follow his gestures into a room inside a giant flower, where his steed is waiting
Blake is pretty much vibrating with excitement next to her. It’s no secret the Knight is her favourite character
“You did good, Juniper,” the Knight says, his voice echoey from behind his helmet. The jackalope’s name tugs at Yang, reminding her of their sister team, of her absent brother. Gods she wishes he was here
Then the Knight takes off his helmet
Long blonde hair, streaked with white and tied back by an achingly familiar piece of red cloth, falls onto his back.
He turns. “Team RWBY,” he says, sounding relieved, sounding exhausted, and Yang can feel her teammates freeze beside her, she can hear them all gasp in horror.
For her part she can’t move, can’t breath, can’t take her eyes off his face.
The same face that stares back every time she looks in the mirror. His sad blue eyes creased with smile lines, with age, with decades of pain. Twenty years older than he should be, twenty years older than her
Dear gods… what happened to her brother?
“You finally made it.”

why do fanfic writers keep making jaurne the main char like I get they prob don't like female main chars but its not even him but an oc in all but name llike at that point just make an oc. and they make chars blander then most harem animes (like I swear a harem where a male char has 1 trait is more devolped then the chars these people write cause at least I understand what their goal is
Have you ever heard of Fate Stay Night?
Impressive back in its day, but as misogyny and homophobia and pedophelia no longer became acceptable, it lost its value to many.
However, it gained an appeal to many fanfic writers and doujinshi artists.
Why was this?
Like RWBY, the Fateverse has a fantastic worldbuilding, with many different opportunities for RPGs.
But RWBY lacks something that Fateverse has in spades to this day, especially amongst the fandom.
Straight white male protagonists that are basically useless and fragile and stupid...and yet, the women who are so much stronger and smarter in the fateverse, must surrender any and all agency, authority and free-will to the men.
Oh that does remind me. Fateverse did have ONE spinoff where a female protagonist was there....it was lesbian pedophelia.
So basically , fateverse ONLY allows lgbt content if its fetishized lesbianism.
as for the pedophelia, they do that to an alarming degree, and anime fans stand by it because to them, lolicon is somehow not pedophelia.
Oh wait, it is! Anyway, back to the patriarchy issue.
Too many men, and even women? Have trouble with the idea of women holding authority,influence, or power over men.
How many shows have women as protagonists taking on the same roles as men? How many shows have women be LGBT or not have men be shipped with them, and said women being protagonists?
For Fateverse, there are no gay men. and women are only bisexual if they're shipped with a male character, otherwise they're straight.
Speak to a fanartist or fanfic writer or fan who hates on bumbleby. Ask them what is their favorite MlM ship.
I asked many a rwby fan who hated on bumbleby and accused CRWBY of queerbaiting...what was their favorite MlM ship.
They had none...they considered it gross.
Because well...see for yourself.
This was from a WlW fanartist who was part of the "Fixing RWBY" youtube channel where Roman Torchwick is the white male savior alongside Adam Taurus.
In case you're wondering, no, FatmanFalling was not the person I got this from. It was from his Christian friend who made Hogwarts Legacy Fanart on Twitter, but chose not to post it here for obvious reasons.
you'll see that one of their ships involve Jaune x Weiss
and I've already provided post explaining why WK is a bad ship.
https://www.tumblr.com/iamafanofcartoons/715787142254772224/why-the-whiteknight-ship-makes-many-in-the-rwby
But you see Tauradonna there too.
Blake is blamed for Adam being evil...because at the end of the day, women are blamed for the actions men, because to blame men means having men be accountable for their actions.
And we know how men both in shows and in real life just CANNOT do that...they're too fragile, too hypocritical.
So those men blame women.
And their supporters parrot that misogynistic hate.
Coer Al alaran? the "king of rwby fanfics" is notable for several things.
He never writes a female protagonist unless said woman is not allowed to have agency, power, or influence over men.
He does not make a woman a major character unless she is straight and the love interest of a straight white male savior.
He will only write an lgbt character such as coco adel, as evil or hated.
He forbids bumbleby at any cost, and will write yang as throwing herself into jaune or adam taurus' arms while hating blake and defending men from her.
Couer has apparently stated he despises blake's bisexuality and hates the idea of people of different genders being attracted to her, so he either writes her as jaune's pillow partner, or makes her antagonistic to men.
Finally, couer writes jaune or adam as the straight white male savior who has yang or another women sleep with them, while said men are abused by women.
He basically gets his writing from rise of the shield hero. I'm honestly surprised couer didn't decide on including pedophelia in his fanfics.
but at the end of the day? A woman, no matter how complex or fascinating? will be tossed aside by critics in favor of a straight white male savior, no matter how bland he is.
You can say, but this is just fiction. How about a real life example?
Hillary Clinton.
She never sexually assaulted anyone.
She never mocked people with disabilities.
She maintained a single successful marriage.
She's a successful businesswoman.
Served in the Obama administration.
Friends with Joe Biden and worked with him.
Managed to even get Republicans to support her over the opposition.
Now then...why did Hillary lose the 2016 elections?
Because people decided that she was somehow on the same level as DONALD FUCKING TRUMP!
Lets look at his record:
Multiple divorces.
Multiple failed businesses.
Sexual assault, more than once.
Mocked a disabled reporter.
And more.
Yet despite him being a horrible human being? Because hillary was a woman, people decided that her flaws made her just as bad as donald trump.
Thousands of people refused to vote for her. Despite multiple democrats pleading with people to recognize the threat?
People decided that because hillary was a flawed woman? they would either not vote, or toss their vote for the green party, an anti-semitic political group that sabotaged democrats in the past.
more than 5 years later, after the GOP continue to spread harm and poison? People still stand by their refusal to vote for hillary.
If Hillary was a man, people would have voted for "him" in a heartbeat, flaws be damned.
And for those who say "but women and POC"... Look at the GOP.
Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Bobert, ben carson, etc etc.
How many women and POC in the GOP support racism, homophobia, misogyny, transphobia?
You want to see what those people believe in? Take a look at Florida.
Your gender, your race, etc does not stop you from being bigots or prejudiced.
And people would rather defend the idea of a white male protagonist either in fanfics or real life, rather than a complicated woman with flaws.
Because at the end of the day? Feminsim isn't about "a man being able to punch a woman" despite what shows like Konosuba seem to gloat about.
Feminism is about things like stopping gender gaps in paychecks.
Its about allowing women to have a voice.
Its about allowing women to have independence without being tied to a man.
Its about women having their choices without a man influencing them or telling them how they should live their life.
Its about shutting down the god damn mansplaining that so many fanfics, anime, manga, etc seem to embrace with the same passion that misogynists defend Naruto.
Its about letting women have access to the same rights and privileges as a male.
RWBY is about that. Women are written as equal to men. Women are written as being able to make their own choices without having a man decide for them.
Mansplaining is removed.
LGBT rights are embraced and encouraged.
And women, not men, are the protagonists.
Is it any wonder that people influenced by male fragility, toxic masculinity, and the patriarchy have such a hatred for shows like RWBY and Legend of Korra?
And THIS is why I stand by my beliefs that RWBY Criticism is rooted in homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and misogyny.
Also because the critics tend to be assholes on more than one occasion, but apparently people love men being assholes but hate the idea of women having a mood.
Honestly, It makes me root for Salem and Cinder Fall...at least they have a legitimate excuse for blowing shit up and setting everything on fire.
Also, this is a reminder to PLEASE vote in your political elections!
No matter how flawed a Democrat Representative may be, do you really want a Republican holding power over you?

rant below
tmw stumbling over some moron on reddit (I don't go there, but do look over screencaps and details from others that do) basically stroking off Celtic and ignoring all the disgusting aspects of Ruining RWBY.
Like this moron puts forward the idea that Ghira and Kali don't come across as a couple or as Blake's parents. HOW? Ghira and Kali easily give couple feel, one that is well-into its years and not some immature showcase of teen boys ideas of relationships. They also fully feel like Blake's parents, hell Blake displays traits of both.
BB is in absolutely no damn way done better by Celtic's bigoted ass than the show itself that actually did a slowburn that anyone actually paying attention had pointed out for YEARS. The main show however didn't shove the two into a hot-tub for service.
Yang's trauma and disability are handled with care, within the confines of a more action show that has people that whine about any slowing down.
Dumbass tries to gloss over the disgustingness and view into the minds that the faunus heat cycles presents. Nvm not only the person being pro-Velvet/Cardin even doing a "Celtic says they're platonic but we know better heheheh" type of thing, cause shoving a racism bully into a romance with her racist bully isn't at all disgusting. Oh wait it actually majorly IS.
2 parter: 1) Celtic not only does an asspull to bring Roman back but also shoves his ass into the main spotlight so while not "self-insert" is definitely author servicing himself and 2) love how these morons keep accusing the actual writers of RWBY of doing self-inserts when no shit-for-brains they don't. Neptune gone for over half (really even 75-80% of the current volumes of the show); and Jaune wasn't even supposed to have as big a role at first but it was MONTY's push to expand him out. On top of that the amount of development and time he gets is proportional to what fits with his role.
And finally the person just really goes ham in regards to stroking off Celtic with a "thank you" section. Like I can smell the mustiness and desperation just oozing from the text its so damn bad.
"Fixing RWBY" is nothing more than "Ruining RWBY" and Celtic is nothing more than a sexist, bigoted, racist, transphobic, obnoxious incel shitlord that has the benefit of running his damn mouth off about x,y, and z; w/o doing a budget, w/ the RWBY writers having already done the work, and being stroked off by his incel followers for RUINING the RWBY concept by injecting every single bullshit sexist anime/manga/media trope he can into his AU of it. I'll continue to laugh at any knuckledragger that actually talks about it in a positive manner.

Re: The Ruby Rose Meltdown
In order for me to explain this, I have to explain why I...really don't care.
I mean, I don't. I was not invested in the idea of the Ruby Rose collapse, never wanted it nor felt it was vital, and I didn't really care enough to anticipate its arrival, and that's because of...well, the reason Volume 8 looks the way it does.
Creating an absolutely bone-headed plan that displaces hundreds of thousands of people and crashes two city-states via landmass colony drop and then throwing all of those people into a desert filled with vicious monsters? Don't care.
Or at least, I don't care about Ruby Rose's part in that. I don't care about any responsibility or accountability she takes, I don't care about how the results affect her emotionally, and I don't care about any hypocrisy she may or may not have exhibited in relation to Ironwood, and what I mean when I say this stuff is that I don't care because Ruby Rose is completely inconsequential to these plot points.
These were not actions that matched a logical character trajectory for Ruby. They were not actions she took because they were in her character. All of the above things along with a shit ton more shit in Volume 8, happened because of railroading. Ruby didn't crash Atlas because it made any kind of sense or was a thing she would do, she crashed Atlas because Miles Luna wanted Winter to have the maidens' power, wanted Ironwood to be a villain, and wanted Atlas destroyed, and did not care how the hell Ruby and Penny and the cast as a whole fit into those goals.
Any character could've been used to achieve what was desired and nothing would really change.
So I can't muster any desire to see Ruby confront those events--they weren't hers to see through, so why should the fallout be hers to carry? Ruby's meltdown can never be entirely within her character if the ultimately crucial cause of it wasn't either.
There is still some novelty to be had in The Great Ruby Rose Meltdown, if you're into that sort of thing, albeit it's still coming way too late. It's kind of like Yang finally calling Summer Rose her mom in Volume 8--yeah, cool, way too late, this shit stems back to Volume 5, bucko. Ruby Rose finally expressing anger and resentment and impatience has been cautiously approached before, but finally getting it now doesn't exactly fill the stomach. Went and got my food elsewhere in the years you were fooling around, RWBY.
So free of the burden of having to care about Ruby's logical responses or moral compass, and the scene lacking even novelty flavor, I can just enjoy the Ruby Rose Meltdown for what 50% of it actually was: bitching at said plot being dumb.
Honestly, when Ruby got up in Blake's and Yang's faces and was like "good for you, yeah yeah we're happy for you, fuck off" I was like "gurrrrrrrl read them read them read them". I genuinely believe Miles wrote that to vent his frustration with being forced into that position to begin with. You know damn well him and everyone else at Rooster Teeth were not dropping the Bee Bomb until there was literally no other option left. Usually I hate when Miles lets his feelings bleed into the characters--terrible thing to do, leads bad places, see Volume 8 for worst case results--but he kinda slayed here. Having Ruby turn and ask if she's supposed to give a shit about Jaune's tomagotchi pets was just the icing on the cake.
