I was originally just drawing Pyrrha for #RWBYValentinesDay , but Jaune's artist unfortunately had to pull out so I offered to do the banana boy too! My teammates for JNPPR were: @MiChumi (Nora), @de_b0o (Oscar) and @mixed_coffee (Ren)!

Follow-up to this:

Ruby: …so that’s the big news! I guess I’m having Jaune’s baby now since Yang has stopped trying to murder him.

Yang: 😤 My righteous fury has momentarily subsided into a slow, seething anger.

Ruby: ANYWAY, what do the rest of you guys think?

Weiss: I call organizing a baby shower!

Ren: I’ll set up a prenatal nutrition plan!

Blake: *gently pushes Ruby down on a nearby couch and cracks her knuckles* Lie down, Ruby, and let me give you a traditional Menagerie-style massage for new mothers!

Oscar: Awesome! I won’t be the smallest member of my found family anymore!

Nora: Oooh, ooh, I call godmother and best aunt!

Yang: Back off, Valkyrie! That’s my baby sister’s baby! If anyone is best aunt it’ll be me!

Nora and Yang promptly begin wrestling for aunt supremacy.

Ruby: 😨 Uh, Jaune?! HELP?!

Jaune: 🥰 Aww! Just like my family when Saphron had her first baby!

I’m pretty ambivalent to canon!Jaune. I think he’s a bit bland, and he annoyed me a lot in the early seasons, but his character arc since v4 has changed a lot of the things I didn’t like, and I’m interested to see where he goes in the future.

Fanon!Jaune pisses me off

#i just want to find fics to read and not have to sort through five billion Jaune centric fics that miss the point of his character first #but filtering him out removes the good fics that actually go into his and Ruby’s friendship and #develop team jnpr/jnor/etc #why are you making him somehow sexy he’s a dorky awkward but kind idiot and that’s the point

[tumblezwei]

This might be a controversial one, but I wanted to mention that Ruby feeling that she has to be responsible for her team and be the one in charge isn't something that she like, made up. Like it's not just her own expectations of herself that led to her bottling everything up and not seeking help.

WBY+JNOR do rely on Ruby in ways they don't with each other. Lest we forget:

And this isn't a bad thing, it's not wrong for them to rely on Ruby. But this is one moment that I think explicitly set up the problem that volume 9 is currently addressing. How Blake was pleading for an unconscious Ruby to get up, because they needed her. And that moment of exhaustion is covered up because Blake needed her so of course she's going to force herself to get up.

Ruby is consistently given the final verdict on a lot of their decisions, she often has the burden of what to do next placed on her even when it's a team effort to find a solution.

"I have a plan!" "You always do."

"You gave us the courage to follow you."

"We'll follow your lead, Ruby."

Jaune directly blames her for Atlas falling and Neo attacking despite the plan being a group effort.

This isn't really directed an any one specific post, but I dunno. I've just seen some things and I feel like analysis of Ruby is creeping toward this "she set herself up" kind of thing. Her breakdown was absolutely fueled by her own disillusionment with heroism and leadership, but I think it's good to remember that she did have some unrealistic expectations heaped onto her.

RWBY + JNOR: *Digging a big hole*

Jaune: Are you sure this ancient relic is going to help us?

Ozcar: Certainly so, I've saved it for the perfect opportunity to deliver the final blow to Salem.

Jaune: Why didn't you use it-

Yang: I think we've found something!

RWBY + JNOR: *Unearth a sarcophagus. They open it to reveal a smaller box inside*

Ozcar: Ruby, why don't you do the honor and unseal the artifact.

Ruby: Okay! *Opens it*

Ruby: ...

WBY+JNR: ...

Ruby: What are "flamin hot cheetos"? And how are they going to help us beat Salem?

Ozcar: An ancient delicacy from an age now lost to history. As for how they're going to help us win.

Ozcar: Salem could never handle anything spicy.

Note: Someone sealed a bag of cheetos in a sarcophagus and I needed to share that insanity with someone.

jaune confiding in oscar was so sweet, but it hurts that they lost their connection with their team. that was their, their peers. those were the people they were able to relate to the most.

but now theyre so much older than them all. they even raised kids while in the ever after. jaunes not the same kid jnor used to know.

yet theyre still not the old man. they might not be able to make any meaningful bonds with people like raven or winter because theyve matured naturally unlike jaune. jaunes a combination of the tortured old man in the ever after and the optimistic teen from remnant.

jaunes both 19 and 39. and the only person that can truly get that struggle between mind and body is oscar and ozpin.

So much can Ozpin be blamed for the current trauma of Rwby and Jnor? Like he seem to implie Pyrrha believe only she could do anything which lead her to fight Cinder in what she should know was basically suicide. Now I haven't seen anything so if I'm feel free to tell since you seen the show.

Ah, right. Well, I can't really say for certainty whether Ozpin coerced Pyrrha or if she acted of her own free will or whatever. Honestly, I've even seen people say that Pyrrha was selfish and chose dying to Cinder for the sake of "destiny" over being happy and alive with Jaune. These thoughts make me sad to consider.

BUT a lot of what's wrong in Remnant can be traced back to Ozma pretty much keeping everything quiet, though I can understand why he did it. I mean, look at Leonardo Lionheart and Raven Branwen. These were people he trusted with the secret, and they turned their backs on him, both of them siding with Salem eventually. Now imagine an entire Remnant of Lionhearts and Ravens. Not a pretty picture imagining a civil war, is it?

Still, either or, let's stay on topic with RWBY and JNOR, and Pyrrha VS Cinder. Actually, let's JUST focus on Cinder VS Pyrrha because I've seen people argue over a lot of stuff in RWBY and this moment holds a special place in my heart because this was where RWBY's tone DRASTICALLY changed.

Pyrrha, having escaped Beacon Tower, realizes that Cinder is still alive and killed Professor Ozpin. All the while, she's got this idea of what her destiny is supposed to be, that being her fighting Cinder for the power of the Fall Maiden. Did Ozpin influence her? My gut tells me no, though the circumstances did push her to decide that she HAD to be the one to jump into the pod.

Did Pyrrha have a chance to win in her weakened state against a Fall Maiden powered Cinder? No. Hell no. Not a chance. But she still tried, and she knew that if she didn't try, there was a strong chance that things would only get worse in Beacon. So instead of waiting for someone to show up, which due to the Grimm and the White Fang and the Atlas robots who knows how long that would take, she chose to take matters into her own hands. To take control of her destiny. And when Jaune tried to stop her, she did the only thing she could to protect him; she sent him away on the rocket, distracting him with her first and last kiss.

Pyrrha Nikos, whatever happened, died a hero, trying to stop something she had no chance of beating, and in a way, still fights today.

[bestworstcase]

Your thoughts on semblances are fascinating! Have you pondered the possible semblance our favorite war machine magical girl Penny might’ve had? If she’d had the time to discover it for herself. Thoughts on why she didn’t have a semblance?

i think the answer to why she never manifested a semblance is probably right there: she was built to be a weapon of war. the atlesian military built a robotic super-soldier and then gave it the soul of an idealistic young girl who just wanted everyone—including herself—to be safe, free, and happy. she was was kept isolated and taught to expect harsh rejection from anyone who found out she wasn’t a “real girl,” then murdered to make a political statement, then brought back and isolated again and made responsible for the safety of an entire city where civilian self-defense is criminalized. whatever her semblance might have been, penny wasn’t going to find it while being crushed in the jaws of that machine.

this is not true of every character, but it is true of a lot: a character’s semblance often reflects or represents how they deal with problems. when ruby’s on her game, she thinks miles ahead of anyone else and zips around obstacles like they’re not even there—when she isn’t, she falls apart and runs away. yang takes whatever life throws at her and finds strength in adversity through sheer refusal to give up. blake knows how to mask her vulnerability and retreats from things she isn’t ready to face, but when she is ready she’ll fling herself headlong at the problem with everything she has. jaune doesn’t care what happens to him, but he’ll do anything for his friends. ironwood will sacrifice whatever it takes to achieve his ends, no matter the cost. et cetera.

penny is a character so defined by the unstoppable force-meets-immovable object struggle between duty and desire, what she needs to do versus what she wants to do versus what she’s able to do, that i feel any semblance posited for her has to speak to that somehow or another to feel right for her.

how does penny deal with her problems? how does she try to extricate herself from between the rock and the hard place?

tries to have the rock and eat the hard place too, mainly. penny needs to be the protector of mantle and she wants friends, which the protector of mantle “doesn’t have time for,” so she tries to befriend everyone up and down her chain of command. but when the chips are down and penny has to make a choice, she chooses to do what she wants—holds her best friend in her final thoughts so she can say goodbye, rather than take the pragmatic/strategically correct option of giving the magic to weiss.

and. there is also: “let me take the relic to salem, and maybe she will call off her attack on the kingdom.”

penny is at best passively suicidal in v8 and i do think that influences her thinking here, but also—it’s safe to assume team rwby looped jnor in on what went down in ironwood’s office, including salem offering the terms of her siege, because oscar’s response (“i don’t think we can trust salem to actually do that”) suggests awareness of what salem said (“the people of atlas have suffered enough; surrender the lamp and the staff to me, and they needn’t suffer any further.”)

everyone else takes it for granted that salem is lying through her teeth. penny does not. she doesn’t take salem at her word either—maybe she will call off her attack—but she is the only character who even considers that salem might have been honest. as the winter maiden, penny is also the one who gets final say over whether or not that vault is opened, and it is her responsibility to decide. her instinct, in this situation, with this burden on her shoulders, is to spend a lot of time quietly thinking about it in the corner while everyone else quarrels, and then hesitantly question the assumption that salem cannot be negotiated with. oscar shuts that down and yang adds “no one is turning you over to anybody” (notice how penny goes from active subject to passive object there? “let me take the relic to salem” -> “no one’s turning you over.”) so nothing comes of it.

but it’s uh. probably not an accident that Penny Polendina is the first Good Guy to consider taking a risk on salem.

and i think it’s instructive to imagine how things might have gone if penny put her foot down and said no, let’s really talk about this. because “let me take the relic to salem” does not mean “let me deliver the relic to salem on a silver platter and then lie down for cinder fall to kill me” necessarily, penny is thinking in terms of a bargaining chip, and this is penny we’re talking about. penny is not a pushover penny is absolutely, one hundred percent, the kind of person who would have flown up there with the staff and very bluntly demanded to know Why Salem Is Doing This and Will She Really Leave If Penny Gives Her The Staff. and then done her level best to explode the whale if she didn’t find salem’s answers persuasive.

which—bringing this back to the question at hand—is sort of the distilled essence of how penny Deals With Things when she’s acting in accordance with her own best judgment. see also, amity, and “i can fix this,” and holding up an entire satellite on her shoulders.

she does not do half measures or harm reduction or damage control; she does i can fix this. she does maybe i can get salem to turn around and leave.

unstoppable force, immovable object.

so what’s her semblance? how do we convey this essence symbolically? (there is the obvious answer of just taking “immovable force” literally, but i don’t think penny would have a combat-oriented semblance for thematic reasons.)

have you ever heard of the pinocchio paradox? it’s a variant of the liar’s paradox (“this sentence is false”) occurring when pinocchio says “my nose grows now”—if it is true, then his nose does not grow, which means he is lying, which means his nose does grow, which means he is telling the truth and so forth. there is, i think, some appealing thematic strings to pluck here in that it’s a fairly common trope in science fiction for artificial intelligences to be stymied by liar’s paradoxes; penny, being a person, would not have this problem. likewise she is honest to a fault whereas pinocchio is, famously, a liar. and infinite regress is an unstoppable force of a kind.

what’s the immovable force? how do you solve the liar’s paradox? there are many ways, some more interesting than others, but one is to reject the bivalent logic and conclude that the statement is neither true nor false. take the excluded middle road. if the unstoppable force is true-false-true-false-true-false in a vicious spiral, the immovable object might be equivocation. maybe. it depends.

i tend to think penny’s semblance would entail splitting the difference in some form or another. the thorny piece for me is deciding in what form and context, because again i think for thematic reasons it can’t be combat-oriented. some way of refusing a fight is conceptually interesting to me; something like creating a space or a moment where violence isn’t just not the answer but isn’t possible. maybe a sort of reverse of gus caspian’s semblance, a wind that banishes volatile feelings and brings emotional clarity. an answer to “i do not like it when friends fight.”

RWBY's "Cast Bloat" criticism has never sat well with me because of how, well, a story about traveling a fantasy world or going to a super school needs supporting characters. No matter how small the runtime is, we can't just got someplace and not have it characterized via it's people. Furthermore, interacting with other characters beyond their circle of friends is how Team RWBY and co. actually grow.

How it's done is something worth talking about but Robyn is somebody who prodes Team RWBY into seeing that playing ball with Ironwood might not be worth it. Especially as Mantle's problems are brushed off by him.

Maria is an actual Silver Eyed Warrior who has the insight on how the powers work and helps Ruby get a grasp upon her powers that Oz knows diddily about.

Principal Leo foreshadows the truth about Ozpin via his betrayal, especially as he seems more scared of Salem than being just secretly evil.

Raven as well in how she takes the approach of, "We're all screwed in the end so might as well keep your head above water," when it comes to the world that had abandoned her and her brother.

If it was just Team RWBY or JNOR, well, that'd be boring.

It's never made much sense to me. RWBY are the main characters but they're not the ONLY characters.

In order for a world to feel like a living, breathing place you've got to populate it with memorable characters.

I mean, could you have told the Atlas Arc without the Happy Huntresses or The Ace Ops? Maybe...but seeing the events unfold through multiple perspectives made the story richer.
