#jaune arc appreciation

If the fact that I made 30+ memes about the topic didn’t make it clear enough, I’ve basically gone half feral over grizzled Rusted Knight Jaune. I can’t wait to learn more about his time in the Ever After and how he’s changed.

And yes, I do believe that he is the Rusted Knight from Alyx’s story, not just his heir or replacement. Maybe that will wind up not being the case, but we’ll have to wait and see.

But do you know what’s really wild about Jaune being the Rusted Knight?

Everyone knows who he is. ‘The Girl who Fell Through the World’ is obviously a classic that’s been read by just about everyone as children. All of his friends, his classmates, his family, those kids he walked to and from school in Mantle. Hell, even their parents.

Everyone knows who he is.

Imagine Blake listening to Kali or Ghira read her the story, waiting for her favorite part: when the Rusted Knight rides in on his Jackelope to save Alyx from the Jabberwalker.

Imagine Weiss daydreaming about a knight riding to the rescue of his princess on the back of a big bunny, sweeping her up in his arms and riding off into the sunset to live their happily ever after.

Imagine Yang eagerly listening to Tai or Summer describe the knight clashing with the Jabberwalker and cheering when he strikes it down. Imagine Ruby being inspired by the Rusted Knight to be just like him: a hero who’s always there when they’re needed.

Imagine Pyrrha wanting to become the very best warrior just like him, unaware that she would play a role in forging his legend.

Imagine Nora and Ren huddled up together in a cave, taking shelter from a storm and reading about how the Rusted Knight fought and slew the big monster, taking comfort in the fact that at least in the fairy tails the heroes always win.

And imagine Jaune with a toy shield and sword, pretending he’s the rusted knight, being carried on his father’s shoulders as he duels with an imaginary Jabberwalker, unaware that he’s recreating his own battles.

Imagine Cinder huddled under her thin sheets, reading the book by moonlight and wishing a knight would take her away to a magical world where everything was okay.

Imagine Emerald reading the story of the Ever After from a book she stole, using it to teach herself how to read word by word.

Imagine Mercury wishing a knight would fight his Jabberwalker and protect him from his own father.

Just think about how Blake of all people reacted when he arrived to fight the Jabberwalker. She was giddy with excitement at seeing one of her childhood heroes in the flesh. If Jaune hadn’t removed his helmet, she probably would have asked for his autograph.

From Vale to Menagerie, the children of Remnant know the story of Alyx’s journey, and they know the Rusted Knight. When they play Ever After they argue over who gets to be the Rusted Knight and fight the Jabberwalker. And some of those children, knowingly or otherwise, are influenced by him to grow up and fight their own world’s monsters, to become huntresses and huntsmen, to be the defenders of Remnant and the shield between the innocent and the Grimm. Just like how the Rusted Knight has defended the Ever After from the Jabberwalker.

Jaune is one of Remnant’s childhood heroes. And I think that’s beautiful.

And yes, I did cry a bit while writing this. Thank you for asking.

Just replayed Grimm Eclipse, again, and solo'd the hardest difficulty with Jaune, again.

If anything, it only reaffirms what I long suspected: the meta reason Jaune had to be the untrained noob wasn't just simply for exposition.... .....it was for the fact that his insane growth rate plus his, quite frankly, utterly bullshit Semblance would have completely derailed the story from the very beginning.

Jaune is based on Joan of Arc, whom was literally tortured and burnt on a stake, holding onto her principles & honor to the very end. Like a tragic heroine, her suffering is reflected on Jaune here.

My favorite RWBY fanfic concept has to be "let's throw Jaune on this setting and see if he survives or fucking dies"

This is why the following stories are among my favorites in this fandom:

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/14116831/1/The-Inextinguishable-Soul

Apart from Jaune's adaptability, I've always preferred to see him stand out and win based on intelligence, skill and strategies, rather than turn him into a generic OP character.

This is why Jaune has to strive to survive whatever he's gotten himself into or die.

This is why I love this concept.

Never forget the blonde noodle was able to somewhat keep up with his peers early on in his hunter career despite having zero training. They trained for years and he just Walt’s in and passes the test for beacon even being a team leader!

It's been months since RWBY Vol9 ended. And I am still reeling over the fact that, canonically, Jaune Arc is a LIVING LEGEND.

Some like it hot…

Vol 10:

Pyrrha: *sporting a gorgeous sun tan* Oh, isn’t this Vacuan weather lovely? ☺️

Jaune: *covered in sunblock and sweating* If you say so, Pyr…🥵

Pyrrha: This is so much nicer than Solitas!

Vol 7-8:

Jaune: *wearing a comfy sweater, scarf, beanie, and sipping tea, enjoying the nippy air* How ya doing, Pyr?

Pyrrha: *buried under two blankets, wearing three pairs of socks, and every spare sweater she and Jaune own* I hate cold… 🥶

Pyrrha: …and I hate YOU for making me touch cold! 😫

Looking back, there's actually more symbolic foreshadowing for Whiteknight than I initially realised in the dance arc in V2. When Jaune goes to ask Weiss out, intending to follow Phyrha's advice about cutting out the bravado and just being honest about how he feels, he's holding a white flower to give to her:

But he then sees Weiss asking out Neptune instead, and realising she has someone else she's interested in, he drops the flower and leaves.

Essentially the flower represents his romantic interest in Weiss, but also a potential future of a relationship between the two based on mutual honesty and respect, (following Pyrrha's advice to just be yourself) instead of the false selves they project and initially see the other to be.

After this scene of dropping the flower he stops with his attempts to ask Weiss out altogether. Him dropping the flower is him dropping his romantic interest in Weiss, instead focusing on just being a good friend and looking out for her (convincing Neptune to go talk to Weiss because he knew it would make her happy).

But we see this flower transition into this vase, drooping and wilting at the dance:

...followed by a frustrated Weiss trying to perk the same flower up:

Which seems to foreshadow Weiss later on being the one to take a romantic interest in Jaune in V9, and also being the one to support and reassure Jaune when he's at his lowest:

Which does in turn seemingly cause that potential budding flower of their relationship to grow and bloom again, just as the two of them have been growing into their own true selves over the course of the series.

And I just think that's pretty neat.
