Thinking here of doing an RWBY fanfic in High School, normal World, volleyball team au, like Haikyuu.

But before, I think I want to make an Volley Au of RWBY here in Tumblr before the fanfic timeline, with asks and this kind of thing; ( first time doing this, I really enjoy seeing others doing it)

PS; Faunus exist

So, the characters;

Ruby and Oscar are still in the last year of the Elementary School, but both want to go to Beacon High School, Oscar becuse of the Volley team and Ruby also for the Volley, but because of her Sister and friends

The teams (second year on Middle School);

Female team;

Velvet; the only third year on the team, captain, is her last year and last tournament, the last chance to go to nationals; she is the Defensive Specialist

Pyrrha; second in command, the tallest player and the most famous outside before joining Beacon. She is the Opposite Hitter

Blake; the quiet bookworm of the bunch, is not the tallest, but with her incredible reflexes and high jumps, earned the Middle Blocker position

Yang; the ace of the team, the strongest, fastest and most powerful player, got the Outside Hitter position in her first year at Beacon

Weiss; Heiress of the Schnee Interprises, an top industry in the market of advanced technology and minerals. Infuriates her father by playing volley, she is the setter.

Nora; the strongest and yet very agile player, the Guardian Goddes, being the smaller, is not difficult to see that she is the Libero

Masculine team; (will have OC's)

Yatsushi; the only third year on the team, uses his insane height as the Middle Blocker, but is not the captain

Jaune; the captain of the team, after Yatsushi refused the position, is a very strategic guy, and act as the Defensive Specialist

Ren; was a setter in Elementary School, however, being the smaller amd most Agile, got the Libero position. Is Nora's boyfriend

Sun; the exchange student from Australia, is the funny and energetic dude, quickly made friends with the volleyball team and is now the Outside Hitter

Will; initially only on the School Choir, discovered your talent as a Setter after started dating Weiss, is the calm, easy and optimostic guy

Erick; second in command of the team, entered by recommendation of his ex-girlfriend Coco (that is now dating Velvet), is the stoic, determined player, is the Opposite Hitter and is now Pyrrha's boyfriend

So, please send asks about the characters and their history, só I can improve them and catch your atetion

“This is how I think of “shipping”: When you start shipping someone, it starts out as a little sailboat. As hints are seen (in the actual show, movie, book, game, etc.), the sailboat slowly grows larger. When it becomes canon, the boat becomes a giant pirate ship with cannons (get it?). If the people suddenly break up, that means the ship ran into a giant Broken-Love-Iceberg.“

-me (HarmonyTRE)

(P. S. All of these I ship platonically too, and the younger couples are only wholesome. NONE of these I ship in more than romantic ways. And some of them I don’t ship now, but shipped when I was younger so they feel nostalgic. So if the ship seems odd, it’s probably that asdfghjkl.)

~~

Emerald sat on the side of the wooden dock, swishing her feet underwater. As strange as the events that led her to Menagerie were, she was grateful for them. How could she not be? This was the closest thing to freedom she’d had in years.

The beach was full today, and part of her had been itching to see it up close. Gazing at it from the locksmith’s window didn’t cut it anymore. After all, it had been so long since she’d been surrounded by people genuinely enjoying themselves, even if she didn’t feel like talking to anyone right now.

There were still a few days left before the weekend, but the idea of coming back with Ilia put a smile on Emerald’s face. They’d put together a list of things she hadn’t tried yet, and water volleyball was next.

Far too soon, her scroll gave off a gentle alarm. It was time to head back.

Emerald got up with a sigh and dusted off her shorts. After drying her feet on a towel, she slipped on a pair of sandals. Noticing a mosquito on her thigh, she swatted it and made her way to the locksmith.

The shop was small, cozy, and (most importantly) air conditioned. The steady sounds of employees tinkering with various orders was music to Emerald’s ears. So as to not interrupt their flow, she returned cordial nods only when one was offered.

As an apprentice, she didn’t have her own desk—it was more like a table with a standard chair. On it, there sat a lead jewelry box with a busted lock. The owner said one of his kids had lost the key and they hadn’t been able to get into it since. After all his attempts to break the lock, the only signs of that wasted effort were some claw marks around the inset.

Now, where had she left that lockpick? No, Emerald reminded herself with a roll of her eyes, the official name was “bypass tool.”

When Emerald whipped her head around to look for it, the motion made her brain spin. She sat down—much more heavily than intended—and held her breath, waiting for the strange sensation to pass. Her next movements were careful, testing this unexpected and unwelcome limit.

Slowly but surely, Emerald pushed through the discomfort long enough to unlock the box. Along the wall behind her were rows of keys yet to be shaped. She lifted one off the hook and placed it in the key cutting machine. Her fingers flew over the keypad, punching in the code for the shape she needed the key to be. The rumbling of the machine filled her mind, a welcome distraction from the unpleasantness swimming around her skull.

The only things left to do were dismantle and install a new lock. She'd planned to get it all done now, but honestly, Emerald wasn't feeling up to it anymore. Apprehension set in just thinking about the steps involved.

As much as she didn't want to fall behind, she wasn't about to risk losing pieces and breaking such fine tools. She’d just have to make up for it later.

Emerald stored the box and its new key in her cubby, then signed out for the day. The upside to not quite being an employee was the versatility of her hours. Thankfully, no one gave her any looks for leaving early.

Passing through town, the heavy aromas of different food stands greeted her nose. What would normally bring a grin to her face only turned her stomach. That pissed her off more than anything. Skipping meals wasn’t something she’d done in years, and she looked forward to never having to do it again.

Finally back at Ilia’s place, Emerald leaned against the door to catch her breath before unlocking it.

“Ilia?” Emerald stepped inside and didn’t bother flipping on the light.

In lieu of an answer, the house creaked as it settled. Alone for the time being, Emerald kicked off her shoes, made her way to the living room, and flopped onto the couch. Her body made its dissatisfaction known with a slow churning in her gut.

Emerald groaned. Whatever this was had better clear itself up after a nap.

A yawn wrenched its way out of Emerald. She wiped her eyes, feeling no closer to restfulness, and blinked.

Red.

Too much red.

The bed underneath her was hard as bone. Emerald pressed her ear to it. With a bit of focus, she made out the heavy, sluggish pulse of a heartbeat. She was back on Monstra, and the realization stole her breath.

Across the tiny room, the sound of parting sinew indicated a visitor. Emerald scrambled to her feet. Purely on instinct, she drew Thief’s Respite, aim trained on the doorway.

A single amber eye stared back at her from the darkness. Cinder stepped into the room—slowly, but not cautiously. Her unexpected presence made Emerald’s hair stand on end.

Cinder’s brows drew together, irritation evident in the crease between them. “Are you done running from me?”

Emerald’s grip on her pistols faltered, unable to decide between lowering or aiming. “I’m not-. I’m not running.”

“Then why aren’t you by my side, where you swore you would always be?”

“Because you don’t want me there.”

Cinder took another step forward. Emerald took one back.

The tightness around Cinder’s eye smoothed out. The expression of failure that took its place was a familiar one. Cinder didn’t spare a glance toward Thief’s Respite as she walked between them. She reached out in a way she never has—in a way Emerald always hoped she would—and pulled Emerald into a hug. “How could you think that?”

Emerald sucked in a shallow gasp. For every acknowledgment of a job well done, there were four times as many reprimands. Emerald chased those rare moments and followed each order without question, no matter how distasteful, only to be met with anger if she dared ask for anything in return. Even if what she asked for was honesty.

At the same time, Cinder had held up her end of the deal. She taught Emerald new, more vicious ways to survive and never let her go hungry—not even as a punishment.

But that’s not the only way love can exist. Emerald knows that now.

Tears rolled down Emerald’s cheeks. Her arms burned as she lowered both weapons to return the hug. “You want me around to do your dirty work, but not to help you.”

The claws on Cinder’s Shadow Hand dug into the small of Emerald’s back. A warning to tread lightly.

Emerald braced herself. “I don’t think it. I know it. And I know it ‘cause it’s in the way you treat me. In the way you let Salem treat you.”

The claws tore into Emerald, a level of pain she'd inflicted on others but not experienced herself. Before she could let out a scream, she felt herself get yanked up through several layers of sleep.

“-ld? Emerald, get up.”

Emerald opened her eyes to see Ilia clutching her shoulders. Head swimming, she let out a confused grunt as Ilia’s grip relaxed.

Ilia wrapped her arms around her girlfriend, buried her face in Emerald's neck. “Are you okay? What the fuck was that?”

“Huh?” was all Emerald could manage. Her mind struggled to catch up to the questions. She slid a hand around to feel her back. No injury to report, nothing for Ilia to worry about. “Yeah, I’m fine. Just a bad dream.”

Ilia pulled back far enough to fix Emerald with a stern look. “Don’t do that.”

“Do what?”

“Make it sound like it’s nothing.” Ilia’s skin turned navy blue. “I had the same kinda dreams when I was working through…stuff with the White Fang. More like nightmares, I should say.”

Emerald’s eyes narrowed cautiously. “Wait. How do you know what kind of dream it was?”

Ilia tapped her temple. “You sent it to me soon as I walked in the room.”

Emerald’s heart sank. Something between guilt and embarrassment welled up in her chest. “I am so sorry.”

“I know you didn’t mean to. I mean, that much is obvious.” Ilia shook her head. “But really. How are you?”

“Fine” is off the table, since Ilia had caught onto Emerald’s evasiveness. Emerald dropped her head back onto the couch cushion, staring up at the ceiling. “I’ve had a shitty day and it just got worse. I think I’m sick.”

“Sick with what?” The concern in Ilia’s voice tugged at something deep within Emerald. She reached out, the back of her hand pushing up Emerald’s bangs to check her temperature.

“Hell if I know. A mosquito bit me earlier and it all went downhill from there.”

Ilia hummed, climbing off of Emerald. “I’m gonna make a call. Holler if you need anything.”

“Mmkay.” Emerald turned on her side, arms wrapped around her stomach.

Ilia stepped into the kitchen and unlocked her scroll. When her thumb navigated to the contact list, she tapped on Yang’s name. The photo Ilia had taken of Yang—the sunset behind Yang outclassed by her even brighter smile—filled the top half of the screen as the call started.

She paced the room, anxiety revealing itself in the stiffness of her jaw. Since non-Faunus rarely visited Menagerie, their reactions to spending time on the island uncovered another difference in their biologies. Mainly, that the Faunus who lived here had built up a resistance to whatever sickness the mosquitos carried in this region. The humans could not say the same.

“Sup, Ilia.”

“Hey. Remember the first time you came to see us and got sick?”

Yang pulled a face at the memory. “Yeah, unfortunately.”

“I think Em came down with the same thing. What helped you when you had it?”

Yang scratched her temple with her thumb. “Uhh. Blake tucked me in and let me sweat it out. I didn’t have much of an appetite, so she fed me some crackers and ginger ale when I was awake.”

“Did any of that help with the nightmares?”

“No, they didn’t.” Yang’s eyes unfocused for a moment before returning to the screen. “It only worked on physical stuff, so I was shit outta luck on that front.”

Ilia frowned, but nodded. “Alright. I’ll do my best.”

“Yeah, I don’t doubt it. Lemme know if you have any more questions, ‘kay?”

“Got it.”

Emerald hung up and strode further into the kitchen. She took a pack of saltines out of a cabinet and a can of ginger ale from the fridge.

Ilia lifted Emerald’s shoulders up so she could sit down and place the girl’s head in her lap.

Emerald settled in, wriggling into the comfiest position. “Man. I can live inside a flying whale, but one mosquito is too much for me. Sure. Whatever.”

Ilia blinked. “You lived in a whale?”

“Yeah, it was a whole thing.” Emerald waved the thought away.

A bit of the nightmare came back to Ilia with some clarity. “Huh. So that’s why the floor had a heartbeat.” She held a saltine up to Emerald’s lips and watched as the girl nibbled on it. “I won't make you talk about it if you don’t want to.”

“Nah, it’s fine.” Emerald sighed. “It’s the least I can do, since I made you see it in the first place. What do you wanna know?”

A burning question leapt from Ilia's mouth. “Who was that woman?”

A pause. “Cinder.”

Ilia's eyes widened as she tipped the soda can up to Emerald’s mouth. “That was Cinder? She's sure changed a lot.”

The last time she'd seen Cinder, the woman had both eyes, human arms, and a vibrant sense of fashion.

“Yeah. She has.” Emerald tilted the can from side to side, the ginger ale sloshing around the inside. “But she wasn't always like that.”

“Was she nicer?”

“No,” Emerald scoffed. “Gods, no. I never thought she was nice. I thought she was kind. The difference is bigger than most people think. A nice person would step over me on the street. A kind one would help me.”

Ilia turned the words over in her mind, surprised at how quickly they aligned with her own understanding. She cupped Emerald’s cheek, the flush beneath the surface warmer than usual. “Do you feel like you owe her for that?”

Emerald looked up, eyes searching Ilia’s face—for what, Ilia wasn’t sure.

“Well, you don’t,” Ilia reassured. “I used to think that way about Adam. Not everyone who lifts you out of a bad place does it ‘cause they're a good person. The best time to recruit soldiers is when they’re desperate for change.”

Ilia ran her other hand along the small of Emerald’s back, fingertips trailing where the claw marks would be. “What could you owe anyone who'd do that to you?”

Emerald laid an arm across her face and groaned. “Alright, already. I get it.” Her voice dropped to a mumble. “How’d you get out of it?”

“Honestly? It was hard, but I let the right people take a chance on me.” Ilia balanced an elbow on her knee and rested her chin on the palm of her hand. “Blake stayed with me. Ghira let me fix what was broken. I yelled at some ghosts in my dreams. No one rushed me, and that was what I needed.”

Emerald took a long swig of soda, setting the empty can on a coaster. She turned onto her other side and readjusted her head on Ilia’s lap. “If you say so.”

“Hey, you asked,” Ilia said with a laugh. “It’s weird as hell, but it’s what happened.”

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Ilia rubbed her thumb across Emerald's forearm, relaxing her with each stroke.

The potency of the dreams seemed to wane with time—externally, at least. Ilia could no longer fully tell what went on in them. Sometimes, she got glimpses of fire and awoke with goosebumps. Other nights, Emerald seized up in her arms, breaths short and shallow. Ilia simply pulled her close, whispered calmly into her shoulderblades until they both fell asleep again.

A part of Emerald wanted to resist those words, but their consistency took root under her defenses. They became something she clung to during her bouts with Cinder.

Even in a realm of her mind’s making, a stalemate was the best outcome. Cinder conceded no ground, admitted no fault, switched between charm and terror as she saw fit.

Emerald had always found it easier to admire when it wasn’t directed at her. She allowed herself to hope that one day, she wouldn't be on the defensive.

Over the next few days, Emerald’s appetite returned little by little. As long as she didn’t move too fast, she could stomach most of her regular foods. But by the time the weekend came around, she was still under the weather.

Beyond the back patio, palm trees swayed under the force of a nice breeze. Emerald turned her palm over, letting the sunlight wash over it. So much for their beach day.

The creaking of the screen door caught her ear, and she deflated further.

“I’m sorry this is taking so long.” Emerald rested her cheek on the side table. “I hate that we missed our beach day together. I know you were looking forward to it, too.”

“Oh, please. You make it sound like you’re a burden. It’s not like you overslept; you’re sick. The beach will still be there when you feel better.” Ilia sat cross-legged on the lawn chair beside Emerald's. She placed two colorful drinks on the table. “For now, I've brought it to us.”

Emerald looked up to see Ilia's thousand-watt smile and huffed a chuckle in response. She didn’t see much point in acting like the gesture wasn't touching. She pushed herself up slowly and grabbed the chilled glass.

Red, orange, and yellow crushed ice bled into each other, the effect similar to a sunset. Emerald took a sip and hummed as the cool sweetness hit her tongue. She let out a more urgent sound as an idea came to her.

“Mind if I try something?”

Ilia nodded, a curious glint in her eye.

Emerald recalled the beach from earlier, projecting its image into their minds. She recreated the glittering ocean, the white sand, and threw in the sound of waves crashing. Putting in some visitors was too much work; just as well, since it made it easier to pretend this was a private beach just for them.

The glass nearly slipped out of Ilia’s hand, but she tightened her grip at the last second. “Oh, Emerald. This is amazing.”

It wasn’t quite the weekend getaway they’d hoped for, but Emerald knew she’d treasure this time all the same.

RWBY Post AU: Blaze

Part 1

- Kuo Kuana, Menagerie -

The beaches of Kuo Kuana are said to be the most beautiful and calmest places in all of Remnant. Since the end of the Dark War sixteen years ago, many would come from all across to see the shoreline and view the horizon to experience the tranquil peace of the Faunus Kingdom.

On this particular day, a young man came to this place to seek inner peace. This was Blaze Belladonna-Wukong, the son of the current Chieftain of Menagerie, Blake Belladonna-Wukong and the Captain of the Menagerie Guard, Sun Belladonna-Wukong. Under their lead Menagerie thrived and officially became the first Faunus-ruled Kingdom by the end of the Dark War. He of course was born a year after the war ended and was one of the first children born into a truly peaceful world.

At least, that’s what they originally thought...

Blaze is sitting down on a beach towel in a Burmese meditation position, he comes here every other day in a attempt to clear up his mind. He focuses on achieving a clear mind, on peaceful, stress free thoughts. He thinks of happier times, and allows his mind to take him back to his childhood. Almost instantly he is visiting a time of his life where his closest friends at the time were Joanna, Liena, Rowan and Summer. They would come visit his family with their parents, and it was here on this beach where they would play all day long under the supervision of his grandparents.

Collecting seashells with grandma, playing volleyball in teams, building sandcastles with Summer who chose to stay with him on the shore, and finally ending the day by eating cooked fish by the campfire his grandpa made...

The BIG campfire...the flames would roar and the smell of smoke and ash would overwhelm his nose...the sounds of his screaming parents calling out for him...he can’t breathe...he was coughing rapidly...he looks up and sees a dark figure looming over him with his dark eyes...all he could make out was that white fucking mask! Grandpa where are you?...GRANDPA!!

No...No! Wake up!...wake the fuck up!

“Guh!”, Blaze returns to his senses, his amber eyes wide and clenching his shirt in a sweat. When his heartbeat finally settles his face contorted into a scowl and hits the ground in frustration.

“Damn it”, Blaze muttered. He stands up from the sandy ground immediately after, then goes to grab his backpack that contains his books, papers, and other school supplies but most importantly, his weapons Bàoyìng and Yîng Zhâo.* He rolls up his beach towel then leaves the beach and start the rest of his day. He predicts that this day was going to be a long one.

- Flashback (9 Years Ago) -

A eight year old Blaze creeps around his family’s house, looking for his prey. He stealthily enters his grandfather’s study where he spotted the man at work, reading some ‘adult paperwork’ (or something like that). Good...

*taptaptaptaptap!*

Ghira looked up from the documents inquisitively, hearing the sound of tiny footsteps near his vicinity. He eyes scan the vicinity of his study and was about to dismiss the noise all together, that is, until he spotted the slightest bit of a black tail poking out behind one of the couch in front of him. A smile came to his face and he made a silent chuckle as he identified his culprit. He determined that he could do one of two things, he could A.) let the young boy play his game and return to working on his documents, or B.) have a little fun today before today’s summit.... Ghira decided to indulge in his grandson’s game.

“What’s that? I could’ve sworn I heard a sound just a moment ago. I suppose I should better investigate the room, who knows what sort of dangerous creature could have snuck in”, Ghira stated out loud as a not so subtle warning to his intruder. The sound of muffled goggles met his ears and thus began the game.

The elder Faunus stood up from his chair and quickly removed his boots, letting his panther feet touch the wooden floor. Ever so quietly Ghira moved towards the couch, preparing to snatch up the little cub so that he may give him a lesson in trying to sneak up on the elderly. As he nears the corner that he’s certain the cub was hiding, he does his best maniacal laugh, “Looks like your time is....UP!” Ghira pounces around the face of the couch expecting to find a naughty cub but all he’s met with is a stuffed animal.

“What...?”, Ghira questioned aloud. He could have sworn that the culprit was behind here, but where could the boy have-?

“RRRAAAAHHH!!!,” a small shadow pounced at Ghira from above behind him and laced their short arms his neck. “Hehehehe, I caught you!”, the young Blaze proclaimed.

“Oh no! I have been caught! Oh woes me, how could I not have foreseen this,” Ghira cried out dramatically and got onto his knees and began sinking into the floor. “Life...fading...I see...a light...at the end of the tunnel...hrk-blegh!”, Ghira did his ‘best’ death impression as he laid face down on the floor.

The young Faunus looked at his grandfather’s fallen form and with a tilt of his head Blaze poked the elder’s cheek, “Grandpa, you’re not really dead.”

Ghira’s eyes snapped open and smiles, “No...but I do have second wind.” With a playful growl Ghira took hold of his grandchild, the surprise attack resulting in a playful game of tickle war with Blaze being greatly outmatched. All the young cub could do was squirm and lightly kick at his cheating grandfather.

“GRANDPA!-Hehehehe-THAT’S-hehe-CHEATING!-hehehehe,” The young Blaze giggles out.

“Ah but I suppose attacking an old man from behind is much better?”, Ghira asked the young cub, ceasing his tickling at Blaze’s ribs and neck.

“Yeah, huff....But there isn’t a rule that says that I can’t do that,” Blaze boldly claims.

Ghira chuckles then pats the boy’s head, “Fair enough.”

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*

Both Ghira and Blaze looked towards the opened doorway to see the amused face of Blaze’s mother, Blake Belladonna-Wukong, who by the looks of it had witnessed a good bit of their tickle war. “Well it looks like you two are enjoying yourselves,” Blake smiling at her father and son after catching them in their fun.

“Hi Mom! I caught Grandpa real good this time!”, Blaze exclaims to his mother while sitting in his grandpa’s lap.

“Really? That’s cool. Certainly a first, my little tama,” Blake walked over to them and bent down to pet her son’s cheek. This action caused her son to lean towards his mother’s hand, a soft purring being heard from him.

Ghira smiles at the interaction between his daughter and grandchild, no doubt reminding him of when she was no younger or bigger than her own son.

“Sorry to interrupt your game you two, but it’s almost time for us to head out,” Blake told both her father and little cub.

“Aw... but I want to stay with Grandpa some more. Can’t we stay a little longer,” Blaze pleaded to his mother, his amber eyes widening and becoming wet.

“I’m sorry but we have go back home sweetie, we’re going to be waking up early tomorrow morning and I want to to get a full nights sleep,” Blake told her small son.

Blaze pouts sadly until feeling a larger hand nestle into his dark locks and hears his grandfather’s deep chuckle, “No worries Blaze, we will have plenty of opportunities to play again soon.”

“But what if you’re not here when we come back,” the young faunus asked.

“Blaze, precious child, wherever you are and wherever you are going, as long as we have each other in our thoughts and in our hearts, we will never be apart from each other. I will have you in my thoughts and if you carry me in yours, then I will be with you as well, can you do that for me Blaze,” The older faunus asks his grandchild.

Blaze whimpers gently but still nods, “Yes grandpa.”

Ghira smiles and ruffles Blaze’s nape, causing the young child to giggle loudly, which results in both grandfather and mother to laugh along with him.

After nearly a week of vacation, his grandfather’s words had proven to be true, as they would meet again after he and his parents came home from their trip, visiting family friends in Solitas. As always, his grandfather did not failed him and never lead him astray once in his short life....

What they did not know was that these happier times would only last a few more years, and then nothing would ever be the same again.

beacon academy au

here’s my catmeleon au subtitled the useless lesbian ilia au (but really that should be EVERY ilia au tbh)

- everyone goes to beacon - THIS IS A NO ANGST ZONE so sorry but they aren’t huntresses grimm don’t exist ok - adam does NOT go to beacon and blake applies to beacon to get away from him. sometimes it’s okay that you can’t handle a situation and need to get away and go to a school on another continent to avoid your problems. ilia follows blake to make sure she has some support in a brand new environment bc she is in love with her!!!

- teams are still a thing! instead of combat partners, they’re more for room assignments and study buddies. teams of 4 are put on the exact same class schedules as well. - team rwby and team sssn are still things… sorry ilia you get randos………. - every academy au needs sports teams!!! - ilia is a soccer player, yang plays volleyball, team sssn are all on the basketball team - pyrrha is student council president, weiss is vp, ren is treasurer, nora is secretary - ruby is still younger than everyone else and is there because she’s extra special. she is in the robotics club and builds fightbots - jaune is also on the robotics team but he doesn’t build anything he doesn’t know how, he just thinks robots are cool - ruby doesn’t actually go to club unless it’s competition days. she spends all of her free time in the student council room, and weiss tries Very Hard (lol) to kick her out all the time (she doesn’t leave) - blake isn’t in a club but helps out at the library in her spare time - since she’s friends with yang, sun, and ilia though, she ends up attending a lot of sporting events bc she loves her friends - other than their assigned teams, blake, sun, and ilia all spend a lot of time together too (faunus trio!!) - sometimes blake and sun bring their entire teams out to support ilia and soccer games and ilia gets super embarrassed at how loud they cheer - penny is still alive and isn’t in any clubs but attends all her classes with perfect attendance - emerald and mercury are stoners - ilia has no classes with blake, so they have lunch together, just the two of them. ilia walks blake to her next class after lunch every day, and ilia's next class is with sun, so he usually meets her at blake's classroom and they walk together

#rwby #headcanons #beacon academy au #useless lesbian ilia au #that's going to be a tag if it's the last thing i do #tbh there's no plot... yet........ #i just wanted to draw everyone in uniform #also i firmly believe that if ilia wasn't such a useless lesbian she'd have followed blake to beacon #but also this is the au where i'm going to exploit every useless lesbian meme on my gay disaster daughter #i love you ilia........ #catmeleon #white rose #the ships

[flamestoillusions]

Okay so. I have started the beach episode of the RWBY AU. And rather than accidentally traumatize Ty with a game of chicken or throwing people in the ocean, I figure a water gun fight might be more fun. Though I was also planning a couple more than the CTTR and AART and I know this is a terrible idea because of that's a lot of people. But also volleyball because semblances plus the game make for a terrifying and funny time. But also smashing watermelon and fireworks. And then there's the urge that they have to fight the villains and they even remark that it's their day off, why would they choose where they are playing??? Do you see the problem of trying to do the fun episode??? There's too much fun stuff and I want to do it all. ALL of it. Send help. I can't stay on task but I want it. And if I want it, I gotta make it HNNNNNGGGG
