Favorite Jaune Arc fanfictiom trope?
Dorky, inexperienced, sweet. These traits, above all others, define Jaune Arc, the huntsman who would become known as The Rusted Knight. Prior to Rooster Teeth's shutdown, many fan fictions were written about him, often with him as the main protagonist of their stories. However, there were those who saw Jaune and took away these traits for things more bleak... more macabre... and more sinister. It was these changes that led to the rise of the hatred of Jaune Arc as a character. Yet when the FNDM hated him most, he persevered. Now, I will reiterate what my favorite Jaune Arc fan fiction trope is...
Dorky, as in he shows up to a high school/college facility in a blue bunny onesie.
Inexperienced, as in he doesn't know the difference between aura and charisma.
Sweet, as in he loves all of his friends and treats them like his family.
I'll admit, I'm guilty of making Jaune into an edgelord, harem king, or third non-Jaune Arc character, but I like to think I've grown out of it... mostly. If you want to make a good Jaune Arc character, just look at where he started, and that's where you'll find your start.

♡♡𝆬 🍼 nonnie! the thing is, you just love touching simon ˙◠˙ sometimes it's sexual and sometimes it's not. but you just have to hold onto him in some way. he's big, strong, warm, and gives the best hugs, he's so protective and that just makes your brain turn into a pile of goo and he just loves you s'much. ughh 😠
it can go from a simple cuddle, to rubbing against him with your slick cunt. from watching a movie with your head nestled against his pelvis, to your hand in his briefs and stroking him lazily. simon finds it cute, you touching him every chance you get, his clingy baby 🥺

not a zionist but a @ herrduhring is a dangerous grifter who spent an entire day yesterday calling an indigenous man an animal and telling him she'd use the real slurs for him if she knew them (because he called her racist)
she reblogged the original posts about her racism/white supremacy onto her sideblog @ lavdi
an example of her calling him an animal (there are too many to link):
https://www.tumblr.com/boyrot/736403095556407296/i-really-do-think-its-funny-that-you-got-on-my
she's been trying to ingratiate herself into the pali/native side of tumblr for a while now and using the genocide for engagement to make money. this isn't the first time she's gone on a racist tirade about someone but it's the most recent.
EDIT: The post has been edited slightly as one of the people in the screenshots wished to be taken out.
yep, she's a racist apologist for euro-settler colonialism. block, don't engage.
evidence under the cut. cw for racism
here she is trying to obfuscate the reality of settler-colonialism on turtle island. no, turtle island does not belong to white people, it's not "their" land, and no "new land-based identity" can form from euro settler colonialism. turtle island has been under colonial occupation for 400 years. she is trying to frame white Americans as being able to be indigenous because they've "been there for 500 years" which shows a deeply racist misunderstanding of settler colonialism.
Tumblr media
viewing racism as a "haha funny joke" and calling a blak indigenous man a "koala":
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
so yeah. block and move on.

Is it true that Napoleon Bonaparte used to know and associate with the Robespierre brothers? Like from what I've heard, he was pretty serious about it, to the point that it hampered his career post-thermidor. (It would make the stereotypical depictions of the Terror in Napoleon 2023 pretty hillarious, honestly.)
Yeah, it’s true. According to Saliceti (a Montagnard politician from Corsica), Napoleon was “their man” (1).
The first known mention of Robespierre by Napoleon was on 23 January 1791. He wrote a piece called Lettre à Buttafuoco. Matteo Buttafuoco was a Corsican politician. In it, he writes: “O Lameth! Oh Robespierre! O Pétion! O Volney! O Mirabeau! O Barnave! O Bailly! O La Fayette! This is the man who dares to sit next to you!” (2)
Napoleon was a political ally of the Robespierre brothers. As far as I know, he never met the older Robespierre brother in person, but he did meet and know the younger brother. They were associates and even became friends. Augustin Robespierre wrote to his older brother “the citizen Bonaparte commanding the artillery is of transcendent merit.” (2)
In 1794, Napoleon accepted an “unofficial” position in the Committee of Public Safety’s war office, specifically at the historical and topographical office. While he worked there, he wrote to his brother “I am swamped with work at the Committee.” (3)
This is how Pontécoulant, who oversaw him at the topographical bureau, described Napoleon at this job:
“It was not a mere sinecure that he had accepted, he sometimes worked fifteen hours a day, . . . and the considerable number of memoranda, reports, letters, and documents of all kinds that he wrote . . . would fill several volumes. Never, even during the campaign of 1794, had the topographical office of the Committee of Public Safety . . . deployed such activity; he maintained continuous communications with the leaders of the different armies, and their staffs, astonished, learned from then on to know this nervous style, full of precision, movement and masculine energy.” (4)
It was during this time that he was asked to write a general memorandum on grand strategy. It was titled Sur la position politique et militaire de nos armées de Piémont et d'Espagne (On the political and military position of our armies of Piedmont and Spain). The person he submitted it to was Augustin Robespierre in June 1794.
Frank McLynn’s description of the memoranda:
“Basing his strategy on the writings of Guibert de Bourcet, Napoleon devised a plan that enabled the Army of Italy to advance to the watershed of the Maritime Alps, having secured control of the passes of Col d'Argentière, Tende and St-Bernard. With the enthusiastic support of Augustin Robespierre, who took Bonaparte's memorandum to Paris with him, Napoleon argued that if the French attacked in Piedmont, Austria would be forced to come to the aid of her Austrian possessions and thus weaken her position on the Rhine, allowing the French to strike a knockout blow there. Napoleon's chances of getting the plan accepted looked good, for his new commander-in-chief, General Dumerbion, deferred in all things to the political commissars; Saliceti and Augustin Robespierre, in turn, nodded through anything military that came from the pen of Napoleon.” (5)
Augustin sent Napoleon to Genoa for a diplomatic mission on 11 July 1794. So, the Robespierres were behind the beginning of Napoleon’s long diplomatic career. In fact, Napoleon was still on this mission when he learned about the death of the Robespierre brothers (28 July 1794).
Earlier that year, the younger Robespierre brother had actually proposed that Napoleon take command as head of the Paris National Guard and replace François Hanriot in Paris. Napoleon considered it, but decided to keep his post instead.
Hanriot was executed the same day as the Robespierre brothers. Who knows, perhaps the same fate would have happened to Napoleon had he accepted the offer.
Nevertheless, according to Jean Tulard “the 9th of Thermidor opens a difficult period for him”. (2) He was arrested in the south of France for his association with the Robespierre brothers. The order was signed on August 6th, and he was imprisoned for over a week (August 9th-20th).
The fact that Napoleon had been in a foreign country (Genoa) on a mission for the Robespierre brothers at the time of 9 Thermidor was used against him.
According to Patrice Gueniffey, “Napoleon spent his spare time reading the history of Marshal Maillebois’s campaigns in Italy and writing a long, self-justifying memorandum addressed to the representatives […] without saying anything against Robespierre”. (3)
The appeal which released him specified his military acumen. He was considered too crucially important to the war effort to kill or keep imprisoned.
“We are convinced of the possible utility to us of this soldier's talents, which, we cannot deny it, are becoming very necessary in an army that he knows better than anyone, and in which men of this kind are extremely difficult to find.” (3)
So he was released, with his head still attached to his body. But, the situation had definitely changed for him. The representatives were cautious about him and refused to reemploy Napoleon as commander of the artillery. Nevertheless, he continued to work on the campaigns as part of the staff of General Dumerbion, and working his way up from there.
In 1797, Napoleon evoked Robespierre in a speech in Ancona to a surprised dinner party. He defended Robespierre for his “alleged crimes” and said of him:
“Since its origin,” he tells us, “France has had only one strong government: that of Robespierre.”
The impression of horror that the memory of this man had left on everyone’s minds was so recent, so profound, that it is difficult to imagine the painful surprise this opinion excited, and with what ardor it was opposed. Far from abandoning it, General Bonaparte tenaciously supported it:
“What,” he said, “is a strong government? It is one which has a well-determined useful purpose; the firm will to achieve it; the force capable of making will triumph; finally, the intelligence necessary to properly lead this force. Let’s examine if Robespierre combined all these advantages: What was his goal? The triumph of the revolution. He felt that a counter-revolution would be more bloody, would lead to more cruel, more lasting evils than those that our revolution had demanded and would still require. So he wanted to accomplish it at all costs.” (6)
Did this association have an effect on Napoleon’s career? I would say it definitely impacted his reputation and the perception everyone had of him.
To Madame de Staël (and eventually Victor Hugo), Napoleon was “Robespierre on horseback” (2). Mallet du Pan calls Napoleon “a Corsican terrorist” (7). The royalist pamphleteers had titles like “Robespierre and Buonaparte or the two tyrannies” and “The Jacobins and Buonaparte or historical essay on the alliance of the two tyrannies which oppressed the French nation” (2). In them, Napoleon was described as a “worshiper of Marat, accomplice of Robespierre, vile complacent of Barras” (2). To Metternich, “Napoleon seemed to me the incarnation of the Revolution” (8). He tried to warn the other countries in Europe against making peace with France, because, to him, “No peace is possible with a revolutionary system, whether with a Robespierre who declares war on chateaux or a Napoleon who declares war on Powers” (9). William Pitt the Younger spoke of the “jacobinism of Robespierre, of Barrere” and called Napoleon “the child and the champion of all its atrocities and horrors” (10).
Tumblr media
This is a royalist caricature of Napoleon created by Pierre-Marie Bassompierre Gaston. The caption says “One is always faithful to one's first love”. (Source)
Here is Napoleon’s stance on Robespierre:
“Robespierre died because he tried to stop the effects of the Revolution, and not as a tyrant. Those who wanted to bring him down were crueler than he was: Billaud-Varenne, Collot d'Herbois, etc. He had against him Danton's party, which was powerful and immense. Probably he could not have acted otherwise. I believe that Robespierre was without ambition. . . . Everything I read in the Moniteur teaches me nothing, but it confirms me in the opinion that I had, and settles me in it even more. To be sure, Robespierre was not an ordinary man. He was very superior to everything around him. His discourse on the Supreme Being proves it. Disgusted by what he was hearing, he felt the necessity of a religious system among people who did not want anything, either religion or morals. Morality had to be raised up again. He had the courage to do it and he did it... That was great politics. No doubt he shed blood; that is the other side of the coin, but he is certainly less guilty than Tallien, who slaughtered Bordeaux, or Fréron whom I saw in Marseille taking poor unfortunates by the collar to have them shot. Those men were real killers. Had he [Robespierre] not succumbed, he would have been the most extraordinary man who appeared.” (3)

Kink rating: transformation during sex.
(Bonus points for for awnsering for both you and your prospective partner)
No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know |
This is THE best thing to me. I fucking love it. I could rant about how much I love this trope for ages but I’ll just settle for listing some fun scenarios:
Demon fucking a human, human slowly grows horns and a tail and fangs (and also becomes a deranged sex freak)
Human getting fucked by tentacles, gets heavily pregnant (and overall heavy) in a matter of minutes
Human getting fucked by minotaur, turns into a hucow when they drink the minotaur’s cum or sucks milk from its tit
Human getting railed by alien, their body morphs to be the right size and shape for the alien’s weird anatomy (bonus points if the human essentially becomes an alien too!)
Human getting fucked in every orifice by slimes, ends up turning into a slime-human hybrid when they accidentally drink too much
I could go on.

on a scale of Gomez Addams to Vernon Dursley (for treatment of Harry not Dudley) where do you think Jaune's dad falls in terms of neglect?
Hm... That's a pretty good scale.
Gomez is especially attentive of his kids, and though his enthusiasm may get taken away when praising one of his kids, he will quickly shift gears to support his other child, though it may take some guidance from his wife, Morticia, like we've seen in the animated series. So, let's put him at... 10.
Vernon Dursley is... clearly at the bottom of the scale, even if his weight scale only shows three digits, considering he puts more attention and care to his biological son than to his adopted son/nephew. Dudley has his own room while Harry sleeps in a storage space under the stairs. To be honest, the only good Dursley in the house is Dudley, though he starts off as an entitled shit, he actually apologizes to Harry later on for how horribly he treated him (sure, I only know this because it's in a deleted scene, but eh). So yeah, 1.
Obviously, there are worse fathers in media, just like there are better fathers in media. Now, let's look at Jaune's dad and... Oh... Uh... It seems he's... misplaced... Not to worry, though! We can just look at what kind of person he was based on what his kids are like.
First off, we have Jaune's dad's "infamous" quote of "all you need is confidence". And I put infamous in quotations because people don't like that this was something he learned from his dad. But, to be honest, I think this is a great first step. Jaune's dad is clearly offering life advice for his son. It's not perfect advice, but it is good advice, especially for a lanky teenager like Jaune who only just decided to become a huntsman.
People will harp on Jaune's dad, saying that he should have trained his son to be a huntsman, but... I don't think Jaune wanted to be a huntsman until he was much older. Ruby, Yang, Weiss, and probably everyone else in the show already had training under their belts from an early age and chose to go to Beacon to continue their training so they can become huntresses. Jaune... didn't, if I'm assuming right. Jaune basically did the same thing as hopping on a bus for boot camp- Wait, no. No, it's more like he jumps into a platoon, SKIPPING boot camp so that he can get that OJT. Then again, there's probably a better analogy for this, but my point is that I don't blame Jaune's inexperience as much on his dad as I do on Jaune himself.
BUT there's also one scene that shows us what kind of parents Jaune's dad AND mom were like. Jaune says in V3 that when he left for Beacon, his parents told him "Hey, if this doesn't work out, you can always come home". Normally, this is common rhetoric for parents telling their kids that they can always fall back to their family whenever they fail. But Jaune interpreted this as "You are going to fail, and we'll see you when you do". Jaune believes his parents don't believe in him, which, if you consider they raised him, they probably have good evidence to believe this.
That said, let's look at how Jaune's sister turned out. Saphron, whom we meet in V6, is a married homemaker mom who opens her home to her brother and his many, many, many friends. That said, I want to take this time to say that if my sister dropped in on me with a dozen people looking to crash for the night, I'm... hesitant... to welcome anyone but her into my home. But Saphron, champion Arc that she is, welcomes everyone. Overall, Saphron seems happy, like, genuinely happy with her son and wife. She even goes along with Jaune's plan to steal the bullhead from Cordovin.
I'm probably speculating here, but I think there's two ways to look at this. You could either see this as "Mama and Papa Arc kicked out their daughter and she's much happier having left them" OR "Papa and Mama Arc raised their kids to rely on each other because family always helps family". Me, I prefer the ladder, and the second of the two options.
So on a scale between "maliciously neglectful papa" and "accidentally neglectful but still well-meaning papa", I would put Papa Arc higher on the scale simply for the fact that Jaune and Saphron don't really have anything to say about their parents being neglectful, intentionally harmful, or in any real negative light. But they still let Jaune run off to be a Huntsman with the family sword, so... 8/10. Good parents, but not perfect. He's no Bandit, that's for sure.

you’ve done it again, but i must ask… does ahn’thu get reader her cat back? (that stayed on my mind even while getting plowed by an alien lmao)
♡♡𝆬 nonnie! my dove! hehe--- i like to believe he does. ahn'thu is quite literally wrapped around your finger whether you believe it or not. the two of you stay in the clearing for a week or so and when ahn'thu tells you it's time to leave, you have to throw a fit. ૮₍´˶• . • ⑅ ₎ა ₊˚⊹♡🫧— 𝒹𝑒𝓈𝓈𝒾𝑒
Tumblr media
"we need to go back and get mr. cuddles. i'm not leaving earth without him." ˙◠˙
ahn'thu expresses his agitation through trills as you turn away from him, crossing your arms and pouting with puffed cheeks.
despite your attempt to give him the silent treatment, it doesn't have the desired effect. ♡
it's only when you stop eating that he finally gives in, understanding the depth of your attachment to your beloved cat. (it's easy to find mr. cuddles as he's splayed out on your destroyed couch.)
and you're absolutely ecstatic, jumping into his arms and nuzzling your face into his chest when he comes back to the ship with your black and white tabby cat. ˙ᵕ˙
you're undeterred by his claims of finding the cat annoying, and his cute little grumbles as you kiss all over his face. ( he loves it )
especially when mr. cuddles curls up in ahn'thu's arms, purring in contentment.

thank you so much for all your wonderful art! have you heard of the Engineer? he is a DnD version of the Conductor (there are a special set of DnD games called Toonkind, it's like a radio show), he is exactly the same as Conductor but is a barbarian/sorcerer and even has a sword made of pink fire! is very cool :D thought you might like to know!
Tumblr media
Hello! I have seen your work before on pixiv. It's nice to meet you! I like the Conductor you draw, he is so pretty🥰
Thanks for telling me about him! Detailed features and great design. I wish I could hear English so I could know more about him…I only read the wiki but I like him. I like the story of how he became a movie director and I like his love for trains.

Are you aware that this bioessentialism you subscribe to is the book of nazi ideology?
I'm sure you don't care, because you express a propensity for hate anyway.
You're not a lesbian. You're a nazi.
Publishing this because sometimes lesbophobes can actually be so ridiculous it becomes hilarious. Imagine writing that when you don't know who is the person you're writing to, do you know anything about my heritage anon ? What if you were making a huge mistake ? Regardless, you are. Hey lesbians, did you know that wanting to fuck women made you a bioessentialist (sexist) ?? See, it's because you aren't accepting the holy penises in your life and that makes you really someone who reduces women to walking vaginas.
Anyway positivityforlesbians is run by a dyke, whether you like it or not, while you're out there with the very solid identity of a clown.

I have to thank you for all your posts about My Personal Weatherman. It's so interesting to go in depth about the language!
In the Ep 5 subtitles, can i ask if everything is correct in the scene where Segasaki is drying Yoh's hair? (It seems so since you dont mention it)
I really like Segasaki comforting words and I love this scene so maybe there was a little something...
Thank you so much anyway 👋
Hi hi I'm glad you enjoy it! I didn't actually think too many people would be interested in this much nerdy detail, so I'm a little surprised at the attention but very happy to keep going!
For that scene, the subtitles are close enough 😅 Unfortunately because of tumblr's 30 image post limit (and let's be honest my own tendency to ramble), I have to try and limit the scenes I include in the posts. Essentially, if it isn't outright wrong, or doesn't add/subtract from what we already know about the character as the drama progresses, I might drop a scene just so I have space to talk about another. Also, if I didn't limit myself, I'd probably be redoing every other line (though many of those changes would just come down to personal preference rather than right/wrong 😂) and tbh that's just disrespectful to the original translator 😅 😅
That said, this is a new post, so here you go 😁😁
Tumblr media
S: 海沿いって 昼と夜とで風向きが逆転するんだよ S: で 風が切り替わるときに無風になるのを S: 凪って言うんだけど S: お前は今その凪な S: また少ししたら別の風が吹いてくる S: そういう状態 S: So, along the coast, the direction of the wind reverses from day to night, you know S: And, when the winds change direction, a windless area of calm forms. S: We call that “Nagi”, and well, S: You are that Nagi now. S: Just a little while more and another wind will come blowing S: That's how it is.
It's clear just from his tone of voice how gentle Segasaki is being with Yoh here. Unlike his usual short statements, he uses filler words and softer end particles as he explains, and of course, no rough speech at all. The overall effect is that he sounds like he's simply sharing this information with Yoh, without trying to force his opinion on anything, and makes for a really sweet moment.

You’re SO right about jet hanahaki disease. I’m imagining jet going “no you don’t understand they’re firebenders!!!1!1!1!1 *hacking up leaves* no idea why that’s there.”
What is worse knowing you're in love with someone who doesn't love you back or knowing that you're in love with a firebender?
