Note

I have curious to know more about that:

In your version what would Jaune fallout would be?

Would he be an outcast or a you suck speech to be better?

How would the team dynamic be especially after the situation?

If I were to alter stuff in V1-V3, the bully arc would need some significant changes - far too many things in a show are built around excusing him rather than making him confront his flaws.

I think I said most of these before, but if I were to put it into a list.

Starting with the Bully Arc:

DON'T have Pyrrha help Jaune save Cardin and actually show that while his mindset is toxic, Jaune has the conviction to risk it all when pushed - of course, since Pyrrha wouldn't help him there, Jaune would actually get hurt, making the confrontation a bit messier even if the outcome is the same. And Cardin seeing someone like him put his life on the line to save him would likely sting a lot more.

DON'T do the weird "Ursa Grimm like honey" at all - the show has literal bullies prey on people in the forest, and Grimm are attracted to negative emotions - this means we don't get the "harrowing" scene of Jaune throwing honey at people and the whole plot is a bit less silly - and that means Jaune is NOT here because of blackmail or anything - having Jaune risk his life to save Cardin despite him being a bully is good enough as it highlights the qualities needed for being a Huntsmen and there must be no possible upsides to Jaune doing this - Pyrrha won't change her opinion and she is not involved in the fight - there's no benefit for him doing it other than it being his calling.

DO make Pyrrha genuinely angry with Jaune and have Jaune actually openly apologize to her after the Cardin incident and come clean to her.

DO have Cardin threaten to blackmail Jaune, but resolve it with Jaune coming clean to his team first (ALL of them) and then resolving to come clean to Ozpin and co.

DO have Ozpin shrug it off, either when Jaune comes clean or when Cardin decides to rat him out because, to him, the forest events would be all the proof he needed that Jaune has "needed qualifications" - can even throw in some shady Ozpin stuff and imply the teams are the way they are for a reason too.

DON'T have just Jaune and Pyrrha train. DO have the entire team JNPR decide to work spar together and train together to help him and make him regain their trust by putting in actual work to earn his spot.

There's no instant forgiveness or reassuring Jaune that he's great actually - everyone involved agrees that it's a work in progress, but his willingness to come clean and work to be a better person is a good first step. Team building.

Oh look we just got done with Jaune Arc arc of V1 in, like, two episodes instead of four or five.

V2 stuff

Just erase the "trying to woo Weiss" arc for Jaune Arc. Completely. Have the feud be about Cardin shifting targets and fighting Pyrrha in that sparring match and Jaune being unable to stay in his lane when she handled them just fine herself.

Drop the "I can't dance part" from Neptune. How about Neptune, despite his womanizer façade, actually likes guys but thinks it would make him seem uncool if he asked a guy out to a dance. Here, you have an actual LGBT rep two volumes in without "having to build up a relationship", and it ties nicely into the theme of dealing with toxic masculinity and how it affects different people. And we avoid a scene where two guys treat Weiss like an object they own.

It overall also ties better into the cross-dressing segment because it now becomes Jaune basically going - "Look, I learned my lesson, and I am comfortable without stereotypical macho nonsense" to Pyrrha. And it's a message to Neptune that there's nothing "silly" about not adhering to heteronormative "coolness" - oh look, suddenly there's no need for a laugh track of everyone pointing out that a guy in a dress is oh-so-funny in this diverse and accepting world of Remnant. EDIT: also yes monty intended ot to be about him keeping promises but that still works - Jaune regressing at the start by whiteknighting is him faltering on the promise he made to the team on v1 arc of this version - so the message of him reaffirming his promises still remains.

That's just off the top of my head in what could make him more bearable without sweeping his flaws or his forgery under the rug.

There are PLENTY minuscule things to change that would expand upon his characterization in a way that doesn't detract from the actual protagonists.

BUT

Since I am keeping the first three volumes as-is instead, I am treating the Fall of Beacon as Jaune's wake-up call for self-reflection.

Jaune had quite a bit of time to rethink everything that happened in Beacon - what he did or didn't do, what he said, and his overall priorities in life.

Coming face to face with how insignificant he ended up being ironically had provided him with a sense of clarity - everything falling apart allowed him to look at it all from a different angle.

He did not like the person he used to be, and that's where V4r starts - Jaune views his staying at Beacon due to forgery as a debt Jaune can never repay, and he strives to be a better person - actually worthy of that chance. He also understands just how privileged and stupid his behavior during Beacon was.

He has newfound respect for Pyrrha for having put up with him all this time. He also is regretful over how his antics had prevented them from actually exploring what could have been between them till it was way too late.

There's no melting her weapons for himself, no hero's journey for him. After the tragedies that hit Beacon Jaune ended up with a more clearcut understanding of who he wants to be and how he wants to honor Pyrrha's memory, in turn having processed grief in a bit more healthier way than the others.

RWBY Christmas Tales

Baby, it's Cold Outside

[Arc Manor - Charlemagne]

It was late in the evening and Teams RWBY, JNPR, Oscar, Sun and Neptune were having a wonderful time. They all crowded around the table as Weiss and Blake were head to head in a chess match. Both of them glared at each other fiercely. It was sudden death. Weiss grabbed her piece and made her move. Blake's eyes shrank as she sat there helpless. It was all over.

Weiss: *smirks* Checkmate.

Blake: *sighs and smiles* You win again, Weiss. Good game.

Ruby, Pyrrha, Nora, Whitley and Neptune all cheered while Jaune, Ren, Sun, Yang and Oscar all groaned.

Yang: *looks at her watch* Aw man. Girls, we gotta get going. Ozpin has a new mission for us tomorrow.

Ruby: Oh right! I almost forgot about that. Let's get going.

Jaune: Huh? But it's a blizzars out there! You're not gonna make it all the way back to Vale.

Weiss: Psssh, I've been through worse. This is a mild inconvenience in Atlas.

Whitley: She's right, you know.

Sun: Come on, don't be reckless.

Blake: Sorry, Sun. But if we don't do this, the headmaster will give us one of his creative punishments again.

Yang tries to open the door, but Ren tugs on her jacket.

Yang: *chuckles* Jaune, stop it.

Jaune: Come on, sweetie. Stay. For me?

Yang: *shakes her head* 🎶I really can't stay🎶

Jaune: *points to the sofa* 🎶Baby, it's cold outside🎶

Blake: 🎶I've got to go away🎶

Ren: 🎶Baby, it's cold outside🎶 *takes her scarf*

Weiss: 🎶This evening has been-🎶

Neptune: 🎶Hoping that you'd drop in🎶

Ruby: 🎶So, very nice🎶

Oscar: 🎶I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice🎶

Blake: 🎶My mother will start to worry🎶

Ren: *holds her gently* 🎶Beautiful, what's your hurry?🎶

Yang: 🎶My father will be pacing the floor🎶

Jaune: 🎶Listen to that fireplace roar🎶

Ruby: 🎶So, really I'd better scurry🎶

Oscar: 🎶Beautiful, please don't hurry🎶

Weiss: 🎶But maybe just a hald a drink more?🎶 *takes coat off*

Neptune: 🎶I'll put some records on while I pour🎶 *grabs bottle*

Blake: 🎶The neighbors might think🎶 *holds Ren's hand*

Ren: *twirls Blake* 🎶Baby, it's bad out there🎶

Yang: *smiles and sips glass* 🎶Say, what's in this drink?🎶

Jaune: 🎶No cabs to be had out there🎶

Ruby: 🎶I wish I knew how-🎶

Oscar: 🎶Your eyes are like starlight now🎶

Ruby: 🎶To break this spell🎶

Oscar: *grabs beanie* 🎶I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell🎶 *ruffles Ruby's hair*

Weiss: 🎶I ought to say, "No, no, no sir"🎶

Neptune: 🎶Mind if I move in closer?🎶

Weiss: 🎶At least I'm gonna say that I tried🎶

Neptune: 🎶What's the sense in hurting my pride?🎶

Yang: 🎶I really can't stay🎶

Jaune: 🎶Baby, don't hold out🎶

Jaune/Yang: *lean on each other* 🎶Baby, it's cold outside🎶

Whitley: ...are they always like this?

Sun/Nora: *nods head* Yep.

Pyrrha: Last year, they sang Holly Jolly Christmas.

Blake: *stands up* 🎶I simply must go🎶

Ren: 🎶Baby, it's cold outside🎶

Blake: 🎶The answer is, "No"🎶 *chuckles*

Ren: 🎶But, baby, it's cold outside🎶

Weiss: 🎶The welcome has been-🎶

Neptune: 🎶How lucky that you dropped in🎶

Weiss: 🎶So nice and warm🎶

Neptune: *points outside* 🎶Look out the window at that storm🎶

Jaune: *holds Yang's waist* 🎶Gosh, your lips look delicious🎶

Yang: 🎶My puppy will be there at the door🎶

Jaune: 🎶Waves upon a tropical shore🎶

Ruby: 🎶My Maiden aunt's mind is vicious🎶

Oscar: 🎶Gosh, your lips are delicious🎶

Ruby: 🎶But maybe just another dance more🎶

Oscar: 🎶Never such a blizzard before🎶

Blake/Weiss: 🎶I've got to get home🎶

Ren/Neptune: 🎶Baby, you'll freeze out there🎶

Blake/Weiss: 🎶Say, lend me your comb?🎶

Ren/Neptune: 🎶It's up to your knees out there🎶

Ruby/Yang: 🎶You've really been grand🎶

Oscar/Jaune: 🎶I thrill when I touch your hand🎶

Ruby/Yang: 🎶But don't you see?🎶

Oscar/Jaune: 🎶How can you do this thing to me?🎶

Ruby/Yang: 🎶There's bound to be talk tomorrow🎶

Oscar/Jaune: 🎶Think of my life-long sorrow🎶

Ruby/Yang: 🎶At least there will be plenty implied🎶

Oscar/Jaune: 🎶If you got pneumonia and died🎶

RWBY: 🎶I really can't stay🎶

ONRJ: 🎶Get over that hold out🎶

RWBY/ONRJ: 🎶Baby, it's cold Baby, it's cold outside!!!🎶

Yang: *chuckles and takes off her coat* Well I'm convinced. We're staying. Mr Arc, please join me on the sofa. *kisses his cheek*

Jaune: Certainly, Miss Xiao Long. *kisses her hand*

I need to talk about RWBY's Jaune Arc

okay this is 1.6k words, immaaaaaaaa put a cut

Okay so going into RWBY back in 2019, that was great right. I was in the middle of getting my degree in creative writing I was seriously burnt out from how formulaic stories had gotten for me, and then comes along my friend being all YOU SHOULD WATCH RWBY. And I said, SURE

now my friend knows my types and she nailed who my favorite character was going to be (Oscar) and she also nailed who my other favorites would be (Ren and Qrow) and I'll admit, 90% of my investment in RWBY was ya know, my favorite boys (Don't worry I love plenty of the girls, it just happened that my top 3 ended up being guys this time around). And wow RWBY was just such a breath of fresh air for me given all the story telling stuff I was learning about in college

and specifically, now that we're like waiting for volume 10 to be greenlit, I'm surprised by how much I've grown to like Jaune

I used to not care for Jaune/find him mildly annoying in Volume 1. He was the... audience stand in, so he had to be a little dumb. He was falling into a little bit of a stereotypical pretending to be confident to impress the ladies role. But ya know, I didn't hate him. He just wasn't my favorite of team JNPR

then volume 2 comes around and he has his whole IMMA INVITE WEISS TO THE DANCE WITH ME :D and I was not about that, it was pushy, and also, I really do not care for that sort of romance in the stories I'm engaging with, and then... it didn't go that route. He realized that Pyrrha wanted to go with him, that he had been unintentionally insensitive towards her, and pursued a girl who didn't even care about him who liked someone else. And Jaune just went "alright, damage control, gonna get Weiss what she wants and gonna give Pyrrha what she deserves" and that was the first time instead of being neutral or annoyed at Jaune I thought ya know, this guy... this guy has good bean potential. I'm interested in seeing where they take him next

And then there's Volume 3. He's been training with Pyrrha, he's been more supportive as a partner, he's been TRYING to be a good leader for his team, like he's not perfect at any of those but he's TRYING and he's lost a lot of the traits that I found annoying originally. Now he's starting to full step into the supportive wholesome leader role. And then, ya know the finale happens and just... ouch. Things were looking up for White boy, and the rug wasn't just pulled out from under him, it also slapped him in the face and threw him down the stairs

Now through Volumes 4-5 Jaune was still in the "I'm pretty meh" about him territory. There were moments where I found myself deeply empathizing with him, specifically in the scenes that showed him mourning Pyrrha, especially because well... I've been there. I've lost someone I was close with when I was 17 too. Extremely different circumstances but that thing where you put on a video of them and you watch it over and over and over because you so desperately want them back, that you're reaching for wisps and smoke of what used to be them all for a brief small chance to feel their presence again. And it's just, it's never enough. No matter how many times you watch the video, no matter how many times you replay their voice talking to you, no matter how many times you listen to old messages they sent you, they are gone and nothing in the world is going to change that. It hurts. It hurts so bad

this boy is GRIEVING

but, he was being bitchy. And look, I don't blame the guy alright. Grief messes you up as a person, it brings out sides of you you didn't know you had, it prevents you from being the best version of yourself. I. GET. IT. But he was being bitchy towards Qrow(aforementioned fave, special mention to that time he slammed Oscar ANOTHER FAVE against the wall), and at the battle of Haven, he initially let his grief and anger get the better of him, and ngl I couldn't watch. (To clarify, absolutely no shade to the writers, this was GOLDEN, peek character writing and whatnot) But that is what Jaune's arc is about at the end of the day. I'm not saying the other characters aren't grieving too, they absolutely are. But Jaune's arc has a lot more focus on how grief hurts and changes a person, how it gets the better of us, and how ultimately, if we want to move forward, if we want to keep going, we cannot just fight it and resist it because it feels icky. We cannot just sit in it because we hate what happened and happiness feels fake and forever gone. We cannot pretend the grief isn't there either.

Cue Volume 6 where he was mostly backstage, but all of this comes to a culmination at Pyrrha's statue and Jaune finally gets a moment where he gets to sit with his grief. Really sit with it. In a way that isn't anger, or repression, or wishing things had been different or that Pyrrha was there. He got to sit with his grief with the reality that it was. He lost Pyrrha. And it hurt. Maybe it was senseless. Maybe he really couldn't have done anything. Maybe it really does hurt so bad. But at the end of the day, it had been Pyrrha's choice to try and do something. And for better or for worse, she tried. And the rest of his team confront him. Ren and Nora are quick to console him, and join in on the grieving. And they also confront him about his behavior in season 5, where he believed that he didn't matter so long as his friends got to live. And here are Ren and Nora telling him, buddy, you DO matter. You matter so much. You matter to us just as much as Pyrrha mattered to us. We all chose to be huntsmen, so let us grow together and honor her choice even if it hurts. We can hurt together and we can take comfort together.

And listen, up until this point, when I was watching RWBY, Jaune was not my favorite. He never had been. He was just a guy that was there going through his own arcs. But after this key moment in volume 6, suddenly I find himself enjoying seeing him whenever he was on screen

for the rest of volume 6 he slips naturally into an empathetic leader. Stealing the ships was his idea but he let everyone take the roles they were good at, he played good support, he protected his team when possible. AND THEN WE GET TO 7 AND 8 and omg

friends

this is when I started loving Jaune. Suddenly, it's like he found a balance, he found himself. He was still hurting but instead of being angry he was being compassionate. He was still goofy and fun, but he was no longer annoying being respectful of people. He was no longer blundering about on the battlefield but he was moving with purpose and with skill. This Jaune feels like an entirely different character than the Jaune we first met back in volume 1. He's fallen into a character role that I personally love. I love the empathic leaders who are a little bit goofy. I love them to pieces. I love their level-headedness, i love their compassion. I love their gentleness. But what made Jaune special is that we got to see how much he had to suffer to get there. He was doing the best he's ever been, and he was being so kind and so humble (straight up, tempted to do a time travel AU fic or something with baby jaune and leader jaune meeting each other cuz they'd be so different)

Then we reach the end of 8 and ya know

THAT happened

and of course Jaune's arc is always about grief. But what a stroke of genius, have him find his footing and then REtraumatize him. ngl, I ALSO have been there, and imo the retraumatization is almost worst than the originally one, especially if you haven't properly dealt with the OG emotions because now THOSE come rushing back AND you've got new fresh ones to deal with. Call me a sadist. Accuse me of projecting my own trauma or whatever, but genuinely I loved what they did with Jaune in volume 9. It was *chef's kiss*. The unhealthy coping, the latching onto and hyperfixating on a single thing that ultimately is the opposite of what he needed, forced to be alone for decades, betrayed by someone he tried to help, being reunited with his friends without having processed or dealt with any of that and STILL trying to be friendly and kind and gentle to them while barely keeping it together- it's just SO GOOD

and ultimately he does break. But his friends are there with him, just like Ren and Nora helped him in volume 6. He's still the gentle leader he's grown into, but now there's just so much more to it, there's so many layers

I'm genuinely so excited to see where they take him for future volumes. He still can't dethrone my favorites BUT he has climbed the ranks of my favorite characters so fast that I wouldn't have believed you if you told me when I started watching RWBY that the character I found most annoying would end up being one of my favorite RWBY characters

soooooo yeah

I really love Jaune now

controversial opinion, I love his short hair

#Jaune Arc #RWBY #meta #?#Analysis #??#i just needed #to ramble about Jaune #HIS GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IS SO GOOD #I WANT TO SCREAM #again he's not the only character dealing with grief #but he is the character who gets a lot of focus when it comes to grief #watching his growth and arc is very cathartic for me #idk i just enjoy the white boy #absolute loser #I hope he remains a loser #gentle leader loser #10/10

Sorry it take this long, but Anon requested to see Christmas themed Lancaster and by God they're going to get one:

Under the Mistletoe 💏

To celebrate Christmas. Both team RWBY and JNPR decide to have a get-together and for the venue they decides to have it in JNPR dorm room.

Yang: Let's start this party with a Yang!

Everyone: Yang!

Pyrrha: Wow Yang! How do you get all this stuffs for the Christmas party?

Yang: Well. Let's just say it's a donation from an anonymous donor...

Cuts into Junior's club.

A gruesome scene unfolds inside of a nightclub. Bodies of suit wearing mooks littered the dance floor and their Boss, Junior can be seen sitting in the counter nursing his wounds by pouring himself a stiff one.

Goon: Boss... Why the heck do that blonde beast came here and stole our stuffs?

Junior: Shut up...

Back in JNPR dorm room.

Yang: Anyway... How about a drink? Non alcoholic of course.

Pyrrha: I'll take two. Thank you.

While bringing two drinks across the room Pyrrha passes many of the friends she made in Beacon.

Nora: Ren-ren let's dance!

Ren: Sure Nora.

Weiss: So, Blake... How is it like being a Faunus?

Blake: How is it like being me?

Weiss: Look! I'm trying to strike a conversation, okay? And it's hard when you know I said something to you that can't be taken back.

Blake: I know that Weiss. Baby step, okay.

Weiss: Baby step.

Ruby: Jaune did you watch _syberSamurai last stream? 😁

Jaune: I did, Ruby. Man she almost lost the match 4-1 but in the last minutes she turned it around and ended up winning against impossible odd.

Ruby: Ikr. She's so awesome. 😆

Pyrrha: Hmm. What are you two talking about?

Jaune: Oh. Pyrrha. We're just talking about video games. That's all.

Pyrrha: ... I see. Oh and Jaune I brought a drink for you.

Jaune: Oh thank you Pyrrha... *Walked just few centi away to be perfectly below the mistletoe*

Yang: Ah! Both Vomit Boy and P-Money are under the mistletoe so according to the rule they must kiss.

Pyrrha: Wow. Do you want to kiss me Jaune?

Jaune: Is that even a question? Of course.

Both Jaune and Pyrrha kiss to the cheers and approval of everyone watching. Everyone except for Ruby who sees it differently.

Ruby:

Yang: Woohoo! 30 second kiss. That's your longest one to date. And don't think I didn't see you slipping your tongue there Pyrrha. You horny fox. You.

Ruby: Give me a drink Yang!!! 😫

Yang: Eh, sure. *pours one out for her little sister*

Ruby: Another! 😠

Yang: K. *pours another*

Ruby: More! 😡

Yang: Ruby this is Non-Alcoholic. You can't get drunk from this.

Ruby: Maybe I just like to drink! You ever think about that? 🤬

Yang: Rubs... If you are upset about something you can tell me all about it. I'm your big sister after all.

Ruby: I don't want to talk about it... 😢

Yang: It's about Jaune kissing Pyrrha isn't it?

Ruby: Why don't he like me? I also want to kiss him using my tongue too. 😭

Yang: Oh Ruby... Tell you what go up to him right now and I'll help you out.

Ruby: How? 😞

Yang: Look just trust your sister, okay.

Ruby: He-hey Jaune... How's it hanging. 😟

Jaune: What is it Ruby. Do you want to talk more about other stuffs?

Ruby: Uh... Uhm... Eh... I mean. I want to... 😵

Unbeknownst to the two of them. A mistletoe silently glides above them and landing perfectly above the two dorks's head. The mistletoe is being guided by Yang by using a long stick. No doubt she prepares them beforehand for some sort of prank.

Yang: Oh no, a mistletoe somehow got above Jaune and Ruby. How did that happened? Tee-hee. Anyway you know the rules and so do I.

Ruby: C-can I kiss you too Jaune?

Jaune: R-Ruby I...

Pyrrha: Go for it Jaune.

Nora: Yeah! Go for it!

Blake: (Oh Brothers they're going to do it. Finally.)

Jaune: Okay here goes...

Ruby: 😚

Jaune : There Ruby, how do you like it?

Ruby: 😶

Jaune: Ruby?

Ruby suddenly tackles Jaune to his bed. And proceeds to mount him. The suddennes took everyone by surprise.

Jaune: Ruby what's gotten into you?

Ruby: 🥵🥵🥵 Everyone! Please evacuate to a safe six miles radius. Or else will I not be responsible for what will happen next 🥵🥵🥵

Jaune: Eep!

Yang: Ah hell nah! I'm still way too hot and sexy to be an aunt.

Yang's enjoying the dance. Her teammates are happy so she's happy.

Well, sort of happy.

Despite looking great in her dress, something about it just doesn't feel right. This sounds like a job for... Team JNPR?

Meanwhile, much to Ruby's surprise and delight, Penny has shown up to the dance. The only problem is her security detail which won't let anyone too close to her.

--Or--

What Yang gets up to during the Beacon Dance.

So, I don't know if this fic has much of a plot. It was really just me having fun imagining how Yang spent her time at the Beacon Dance. And also feeding my Nuts and Dolts heart by having them dance.

The plan was to have this be primarily a Bumbleby fic, but most of that kind of fell through as I was writing. I guess it doesn't help that I attempted to make this canon compliment, which means Blake's busy with Sun for most of the night. But, I made sure she had some time with her other favorite blonde. So what this fic ended up being was a superficial, but hopefully fun, exploration of Yang embracing her more butch side. Which is the main reason I'm tagging it for butch yang week.

Be forewarned, I didn't get a beta to edit this. It's just supposed to be for fun anyway

9 Days of Lancaster Day9: Hoodie

Another day another essay complete at Beacon. After thorough research and many pencils, Blake made her way back to her room exhausted. She typically loved the library, but even she needed a break from the place now. The fact that her teammates seemed to crank out papers so easily was a real wonder. Then again, all her love of literature in the world probably didn’t makeup for years of legitimate school. Maybe she could ask Ruby or Yang a thing or two about proper formats. She had a feeling asking Weiss would lead to a lecture that Blake didn’t want to bother with.

The young huntress opened her room door and was caught off guard by a burst of petals and Ruby sitting rigidly atop her bed, clearly pretending like she wasn’t doing anything. Blake walked in and slowly closed the door. Her keen eyes noticed something had been quickly put under the leader’s pillow.

Blake:H-Hey.

Ruby:Heeeeeey, Blake. You’re back earlier than I expected.

Blake:Ruby, saying things like that only makes you look more suspicious.

Ruby:Suspicious!? Me!?

Blake:…

Ruby:….

Blake:It seems Yang and Weiss are gone.

Ruby:They roughed up Cardin’s team in sparring a little too hard. Ms. Goodwitch gave them detention.

Blake:He probably he deserved it.

Ruby:Yeah but Glynda tries not to show blatant favoritism.

Blake:So here you are, left to your own devices. I don’t mean to overstep but umm, if you need some alone time then I completely understand. I’ll just grab my book and-

Ruby:*red* No no no, that’s not what’s going on. I’m not you.

Blake:Wooooow. Low blow, but you’re right. Now you gotta tell me.

Ruby:I was just listening to music, dancing and stuff.

Blake:I see. Well if that’s all then-

The ninja chucked her pillow at Ruby’s face before quickly reaching for the girl’s. Ruby was caught so off guard she could only cover her face in embarrassment. Meanwhile, Blake started in silence at Jaune’s hoodie. Her eyes grew wide.

Blake:Are you two…?

Ruby:We’re just…talking. *looks up* JNPR is on the away mission to a village and I…I don’t know. Maybe it’s because of what happened at Mt. Glenn that I’m a little more on edge but I’m worried about them; worried for him. Jaune left that behind so I wouldn’t miss him as much.

Blake:That’s so sweet! Ruby, why hide this?

Ruby:I didn’t feel like playing 20 questions when I don’t have a clue! Feelings are weird; I’m a little weird.

Poor girl was caught in her own developing feelings. Blake handed her the hoodie and Ruby put it back on. The sleeves were longer than her arms and it stopped a little further than mid thigh. Ruby went as far as to pull up the hood as she sighed, allowing herself to sink into it. Blake could tell how calming it was for Ruby to wear it. Jaune must’ve really grown on her. More importantly, Blake could see her friend was a bundle of nerves.

Blake:I won’t tell a soul.

Ruby:Thanks. Still, it’s only a matter of time before more people find out. I really don’t feel like explaining it to Yang. She’ll try doing something like giving me “the talk”

Blake:Have you had it?

Ruby:My uncle and dad have both taught students. Combat school doesn’t begin and end guns. Your body is a temple as well as a weapon.

Blake:(Guess I really should ask about their school later.) The more you know I suppose. Anyways, maybe I can help?

Ruby:I’m listening.

Blake:Ren and I read similar books from time to time, so we tend to share and swap.

Ruby:He into Ninjas of Love?

Blake:*inhales* I read more than that y’know? Anyways, follow me.

Blake walks across the hall to JNPR’s room. With the help of her scroll, she types in a code manually before scanning the sensor. Ruby can’t believe it when the door opens. They both walk in and Blake quickly closes the door.

Ruby:How did you do that!?

Blake:Ren gave the code so I wouldn’t have to ask each time I wanted to read something. I could leave a note. He has the code for ours.

Ruby:I didn’t even know ours had a code.

Blake:Well, here you go. A place to wear a hoodie freely and text him uninterrupted. But from personal experience, try not to obsess or worry about too much. Jaune is capable and his team is great. I’m sure he’s thinking about you right now.

Ruby:*red*…Thanks Blake. This means a lot. I’m not used to talking a lot about these kinds of things.

Blake:Whenever you need to, I’m happy to listen.

The two girls hug share a hug before Blake leaves the room. As she does, she quickly snatches her copy of Ninjas of Love off of Ren’s nightstand. Blake dares not look back at her leader, but she feels the judgment. Ruby shakes her head with a smile on her face before looking around. She didn’t want to touch anything, however…

Her feet carried her to Jaune’s bed where she promptly laid down on his pillow. Tension left her and her mind felt calmer. Ruby let out a sigh of defeat. She really was falling for him, wasn’t she? Finally relaxed, her eyelids shut for awhile. She really hoped he’d be back soon.

xxxxx

Over in a village, night fell after a long day of fixing fences and slaying grimm. As Nora ate her fill and Pyrrha entertained the small children, Ren had finished cooking and went back to his shared room. Inside he found dozens or finished plans and his weapons already tended to by Jaune. Ren turned his head to see his leader already knocked out for the day, his body draped in one of Ruby’s cloaks as a cover. Ren smiled, grabbing his guns for first watch and locking the door as he left.

I didn't bother doing a post on the previous episode of Fixing RWBY, but I can sum it up in two points:

Celtic Phoenix at one point makes a (pretty witty) joke about Pyrrha's bedroom being "spartan" in style. This is then ruined by him saying that he can't make many jokes because he's "streamlining" the volume. This is said during an episode of events that are entirely of his own creation and do absolutely nothing to further the plot whatsoever, continuing this trend of grinding the plot to a complete halt in Argus.

The episode focuses on JNR and Roman/Neo, and highlights the fact that Celtic Phoenix doesn't write groups of friends as squabbling assholes who can't get along for five seconds when those groups don't consist of multiple women. (Reminder: Celtic Phoenix added wholly-unnecessary and stupid drama between Nora and Pyrrha in his rewrite of the Beacon arc, creating hostility specifically and solely between the two women of Team JNPR.)

Now that we've gone through that, Episode 17 is about Team RWBY trying to get their friendship back on track! Because remember, streamlining! (Also this entire arc of Team RWBY being Women Can't Get Along is entirely of this misogynistic asshole's creation.)

Anyway, Ruby starts off by talking about how much fun she had with Team RNJR, continuing the trend of Ruby treating RNJR as more of her Real Team than RWBY. Ruby decides they'll all go to the beach!

Except it's freezing out, as the others point out.

Celtic Phoenix really has This Thing for writing the main protagonist of a series focused on female characters as a complete fucking idiot, and I have a solid idea why.

Anyway, afterwards they go to a cafe to warm Ruby up. Weiss whines about Yang drinking her tea hot, because again, Celtic Phoenix being a stupid fucking misogynist. Weiss offers to pay, but then passes the bill to Ruby, and somehow a bunch of drinks at a cafe are super expensive. This makes total sense.

Ruby then says that they can't go shopping afterwards then, so they go to a nightclub. In the middle of the day, when it's empty. Ruby messes up her dance and hurts herself, which makes all of her friends laugh at her(!!!). Yang calls Ruby "Rubes", which makes it even less subtle that Celtic Phoenix ripped off plot details from Volume 9 for his shitty rewrite.

They have a good time, and mock Weiss for not being able to dance(!!!). Somehow Ruby thought their day went poorly, probably because her friends haven't stopped being Women Can't Get Along. But then there's an alert from Cordovin!

They race over to find a bunch of Grimm having broken through the wall, plus a bunch of sliced-up soldiers and Huntsmen. Guess who, it's Adam! So Team RWBY run away from him on their vehicles.

Yes. Because literally the only fucking way Celtic Phoenix can make Adam intimidating is to treat the main heroines of the show as being utterly helpless against him.

And Adam chases after them. On foot, jumping from car to car. Their plan is to lure him to the military base. There's a fight scene, Adam gets unmasked and Weiss is made to care about this psycho piece of shit Celtic Phoenix wants you to care, he then kicks everyone's ass, and then he gets unceremoniously taken out by Cordovin with a cattle prod.

Really.

So, let us repeat: This guy who is so badass that Team RWBY flees in terror at the sight of him and is so badass that he can 1v4 them has been effortlessly taken out by

one drunk guy

one little old lady

But our protagonists aren't allowed to stand a chance against him.

Probably because they aren't a.) military, written by an alt-right POS or b.) men, written by a misogynistic POS.

And all of this is so desperate to make Adam this unstoppable hyper-badass who's so psychopathic and yet somehow you should feel empathy for him because his mom was abused. Celtic Phoenix so desperately wants Adam to be a badass that he proceeds to write him as an entirely uninteresting and pathetic antagonist. He just shows up to be an asshole, that's literally it. If Celtic Phoenix thinks Adam is somehow sympathetic by letting a swarm of monsters into an inhabited city, then Celtic Phoenix himself might very well be a psychopath too.

Volume 6 knew well enough to leave Adam until the end, because it understood tension and drama. It understood that Adam was a terrifying antagonist not because he was more powerful than Team RWBY combined, but because of the kind of hateful, abusive, obsessed psychopath he was. It allowed him to appear at the most dramatic moment possible, ambushing Blake when she was solo and vulnerable. He was pathetic as a person, yet terrifying in his desperation to harm and abuse Blake and Yang, and being strong in the ways Adam was weak was how Blake and Yang overcame him.

Here? Adam is a boring psycho who just shows up whenever Celtic Phoenix wants him to, everyone acts like he's the most badass person in existence, the titular heroines are reduced to helplessness in order to make him look threatening, and then he gets his ass kicked in the most anticlimactic, unfulfilling manner possible.

Because Celtic Phoenix is an incredibly shitty writer.

#fixing rwby #rwby critics #i feel like i may not say this enough #but fuck this “rewrite” and everyone involved in it #every name attached to it is an endorsement of its puerile and pathetic misogyny

While I have no dog in Critter's RWBY reviews themselves, what this joker is saying intrigues me.

What they're saying is that the dance scene isn't transphobic because it's an expression of Jaune's loyalty, and believing otherwise is "deranged".

This take manages to hop, skip and leap right over the reason why it is considered transphobic in the first place, which is because the sentiment of the scene is very much "boy in a dress. Laugh plz", or that the scene can be transphobic while being an expression of loyalty. And even so, it doesn't say as much about Jaune's loyalty to JNPR as much as it does his willingness to follow through on a bet to one person who happens to be in his team.

But I will give Monty the benefit of the doubt here. It's very unlikely that he was actively transphobic. It was, what, 2014? Trans trials and tribulations were nowhere near as prevalent back then. I know the me of 2014 would find that hilarious without even knowing what a transgender person even was.

Random RWBY Maybe Part 14?

Have like four part 14's in my drafts so you decide what part this is. Focusing mostly on the idea of RWBYJNPR collaboration.

Weiss, Nora, and Blake do logistics projects together. Weiss is a hardass with firm mathematics and correct numbers. But, Nora knows how actually distasteful living in shitty conditions is, and Blake's the only one who's ever actually besieged an outpost. They balance each other out with hard numbers, morale, and experience.

History projects and essays always have Pyrrha and Blake controlling the study group. Oobleck gives extra points if you understand what happened to Faunus during a historical event, and Pyrrha's just all-around good at history.

For combat training Ruby, Nora and Yang create the playlists to keep everyone pumped up and ready to kick ass while feeling like a badass.

For studying, Ren and Weiss compile some classical music.

Jaune, Pyrrha and Blake make cheesy romantic playlists for the dance.

Everyone has a basic understanding of each others weapons. Basic usage, reloading, upkeep and basic repairs. How they fold out into different forms, how they utilize Dust.

Nora is the only one who's even close to not slicing off her own hand with Cresent Rose. By comparison, everyone has mastered the ancestral Corcea Mors.

Everyone shares clothes. Jaune has lost all but one hoodie because he's bigger than everyone else and his clothes are just so wearable. He's close to having to walk around shirtless like Sun at this rate.

Nora does JNPR's laundry. She gains four dresses in the process that totally aren't just some of Jaune's t-shirts.

Having 7 sisters doesn't let Jaune process why Pyrrha sometimes only wears one of his shirts and her underwear. TAKE A HINT DUDE.

There was a whole plan to get CRDL expelled if Jaune hadn't done something.

Everyone giggles when they go to restaurants with clear NO FAUNUS signs and Blake walks in casually with a straight face.

Team cookouts, where they teach Weiss how to operate a stove and enjoy foods from all around the world. From all corners of Mistrali to Atlesian to Patch/Valean to Blake's Menagerie food.

I just realized: If we look at all three arcs, the heroes only got one solid win. The first arc ends with the Fall of Beacon. The Second arc had them win. The Third arc ended with the Fall of Atlas and Mantle. I would like to think the Vacuo Arc would have ended in a win, but I'm not sure.

Alright, let's break it down, Volume by Volume, big fight by big fight.

Volume 1: Emerald Forest, Jaundice, Dock Fight

Three wins and plenty of room to grow.

Volume 2: Paladin Fight, Beacon Dance, Mountain Glenn

Win with collateral damage (that everybody was pissed about), one loss for the good guys with the data stolen by a disguised Cinder Fall, and one win for everybody at Beacon Academy, this time with somehow more and less collateral damage? I guess it was more contained than entire highways and bridges being damaged.

Volume 3: Vytal Tournament, Battle OfBeacon

Oh boy... This is where the losses start to stack... RWBY and JNPR made into the finals, but... Well, by the end, Penny and Pyrrha died, Team RWBY got separated, Yang lost an arm, and Beacon Academy and the CCT network was disabled. This coming from a previous volume where there was a joke about Ruby getting words wrong.

Volume 4: Volume 4...

This is the point where we learn the dynamic of RWBY Volumes, which is with the flow of seasons. Volume 1 was spring fresh with new beginnings, Volume 2 was action-packed summer adventures, and Volume 3 was drastic and horrible changes like the leaves in autumn, leading us to Volume 4, which hit us non-stop with L after L after L. Yangst, Weiss being abused, Blake having her kitty pity party, and Team RNJR (IT'S JNRR) having to survive Tyrian Callows, the Nuckelavee, and the harsh reality of being huntsmen and huntresses... Oh, and also the Brother gods are real.

Volume 5: Battle for Haven, Menagerie

By the end of Volume 5, everything starts looking up. The White Fang disbands after failing to assassinate the Belladonnas, Ruby and her friends manage to fend off Cinder's group, the good guys learn new abilities and limitations, and Cinder gets dropped off a cliff by Raven. Overall, a good Volume. A couple losses, but still a lot more wins.

Volume 6: Knock, knock! Who's there? It's REALITY!

And... it's gone. The wins. They're gone. Sure, we end this Volume with Adam's death and Ruby's group escaping to Atlas, but... this was also when RWBY stopped looking like young heroes and more like trouble-maker teens with good intentions doing more harm than good. And they don't get any punishment, really. Not to mention that we also learn the truth about Salem and Ozpin. Not many Ls, but only because they're still cooking.

Volume 7: You lost, but you won, but you still lost

Starting off, we have Team RWBY and group getting captured by the Ace-Ops, serving as a sort of marker for where they'll by Volume end. Until then, we have Team RWBY failing to stop a public massacre, a rigged election, and end with martial law being established over all of Atlas. But hey, at least we stopped Jacques Schnee, got out licenses to kill, and some sick-ass upgrades to our old gear!

Volume 8: I want off General Ironwood's Wild Martial Law

OKAY! So we start off with Penny being pressured to do something she doesn't want to and NOBODY is talking about it like adults. Even fucking General Ironwood isn't backing down. But then again, he's probably still riding the high of shooting a child and suffering from the low that it wasn't a kill shot. But yeah, this entire Volume was just low after low after low after LOW. There is no positive to this Volume. No Ws for anyone. Now get back on the bus. It's time to go to Saturday detention.

Volume 9: Guide~! My~! Way~! Out~! I'm what inspired the fairy tales~...

Real talk. You listening? Okay... I will say that V9 isn't the best Volume. Compared to V2 or V5, it's barely squeezing in at third. However, THIS is my absolute favorite Volume. In terms of Ls and Ws, there's definitely a couple Ls, biggest of all to Ruby, but she also gets the biggest W of the entire Volume. V9 has the best moments, the best music, and even the best villain of the entire series, even if they weren't even main antag level. Everything about Volume 9 served it's purpose as a spring chapter. It's coming out of the cold winter and into the new beginnings of spring.

That said, I understand that this being said AFTER RT already announced their shutdown, but I think the show says it best. Never lose hope, keep moving forward, and remember that victory is in the simple soul.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Hello!

I’ve been enjoying your ship takes and the lengthy responses to em! Been a fun read. Here’s another for your list if you’d like. I can’t pick between the two so feel free to choose: crosshares or blackvelvet

No reason I can’t do both!

Crosshares has that classic ‘extroverted person and introverted person’ vibe going for it, and while some people might call that cliche, I call it tried and true.

Now to be fair I would not really classify Velvet as being an actual introvert as we have seen her be plenty outgoing in both the show and the two books focusing on team CFVY, so it’s more that they give off that vibe than it definitely being the case. Regardless, they are definitely cute together. While I personally prefer YatsuxVelvet (though I don’t know their ship name), crosshares is still plenty cute.

That being said, I do feel I have to knock a couple points off because I’m not the biggest fan of some of Coco’s attitude and behavior in the CFVY books, mainly that it is specifically stated that she wears sunglasses so that she can check women out without being caught. Which is kinda creepy, honestly. If Coco were a guy and doing that to women I think we would all rightfully consider him a creep. Being a woman doesn’t make it better.

But in all fairness I would hope that once she was in a relationship with Velvet she would stop checking out other women, so I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and restore a knocked point.

I give it a 6/10, all things being even.

Now, as for Black Velvet:

Blake and Velvet starting a relationship would be really interesting, especially if it’s back at Beacon before Blake really came out of her shell. If I remember correctly, Blake either told Velvet that she was a faunus, or Velvet figured it out on her own. Either way, I can imagine that Velvet would try to encourage Blake to uncover her ears and not hide who she is. Blake, on the other hand, would want to keep her involvement in the White Fang a secret from Velvet, just like she did her team. She is trying to leave that life behind, after all.

And of course there’d be the interesting situation with their families. Velvet’s father works for Atlas after all, while Blake was in conflict with Atlas and the SDC for years. And of course there’s the fact that Blake’s father founded the White Fang.

Additionally I can’t imagine Blake would be nearly as passive about Cardin bullying velvet if they were in a relationship. She’d definitely be throwing hands with all of team CRDL, which would inevitably draw the rest of team RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY into beating down team CRDL.

Glorious.

Then of course there would be the strain in their relationship that would come from Blake still trying to figure out what the WF is up to in Vale, and ignoring her own needs because of it. Which would lead to a reconciliation at the dance, then the drama of the Vytal festival attack and everything following that…

I did not expect to have this many thoughts about Black Velvet. There’s a lot to unpack with these two, and so much you could do with them. Grade A fic material right here.

I give it a 9/10. Probably the best crack ship I’ve received an ask for so far.

(Also I couldn’t get a good image of them on screen together, so I used fan art. Credit goes to DashingIceCream, if I remember correctly.)

RWBY/Swords of Fate: Arc Kingdom

Chapter 2: The Beowolf Hunt

Team JNPR gathered together inside the basement to meet up with General Ironwood, Dr. Roman and Dr. Merlin.

Dr. Merlin: So then, it seems that you've decided to accept this mission of great importance.

Jaune: We have. If Remnant's at risk of destruction, then we're here to save it, regardless of whether it's our Remnant or someone else's.

Dr. Merlin: *smiles*I'm glad to hear that. It seems we've made the right decision in chossing you. James will explain how this is all going to work.

James: Once you step inside these coffins, you will be put to sleep. Through the control room upstairs, we will begin the process. Once the co-ordinates of the alternate Remnant are set, we will begin the transferring of the conciousness.

Dr. Merlin: You will also be able to see, hear, touch, taste and smell whatever your counterpart does. This world is not like yours, so you will need to adapt in order to survive.

Dr. Roman: I will be monitoring your vital signs throughout this mission. If I feel as though there might be any risk of you all dying, then we'll send you back here

Jaune: *gulps* G-Good to know, *nervous chuckle*

Nora: *raises hand* Can I ask you something, Dr. Merlin? What is with these suits you've given us?

Before they had accepted, Team JNPR were told to changes from their Combat Gear into white tunics and black trousers. Nora grimaced at this.

Dr. Merlin: These are called Mystic Codes. They allow for mana to flow through your body in order to make the transfer work more efficiently. This way, your body won't fall apart when the transfer occurs.

Nora: Ah, I see. Neat... but do they have to look so boring?

Dr. Roman: Boring? I find them to be quite stylish!

James: Ugh, can we please get down to the business at hand? Team JNPR, get inside the Coffins. We will begin the transfer now.

Team JNPR followed the General's orders and they each entered the Coffins. Jaune immidiately began to feel claustrophobic as soon as the lid closed. He could feel his breath start to weaken. But he clenched his fist as tried to bear with it. The General, Doctors, his Team and the alternate Remnant were counting on him. He had to stay strong. Trying to relax his muscles, Jaune closed his eyes as the Coffin put him to sleep.

[Control Room]

James monitored the Doctors as they made the preparations on the machines.

Dr. Roman: Vital signs look good. Body temperature is consistent with each other, no signs of any lacerations or internal bleeding.

James: Good. Merlin, have you set the co-ordinates yet?

Dr. Merlin: Doing so as we speak. *inputs the co-ordinates*

The co-ordinates were as followed, Remnant: Universe 531, Desination: Kingdom of Vale, Year: 6th January 212. Beginning Universe Transfer now! *types furiously*

Once the code was typed in, Merlin pushed the green button on his left. Suddenly, the Coffins began to glow in different colours; gold for Jaune, red for Pyrrha and bright pink for Ren and Nora. The lights began to rise up and dance around the room before they finally hit the hologram of Remnant 531. It was complete. However, James was far from happy.

Dr. Merlin: *stretches* Well I'd say that was a resounding success.

James: Indeed. Good job, gentleman.

Dr. Roman: Do you think sending them two years early was the best idea?

James: If we had sent them during the event of the Holy Grail, they'd struggle. We're sending them into an unfamiliar world. If they're going to accomplish the mission, they need to adapt to their surroundings. *sighs* May the gods guide them well.

—6th January 212 Second Age, Fateverse Remnant - Kingdom of Vale, Charlemagne—

[Arc House, Malbec Town]

Jaune: Gah! *pants furiously*

Jaune felt like his lungs were on fire and fell to his knees. He could see that something had changed since he entered the Coffin. His hands were cold from the sensation of snow. In his right hand, he was holding a wooden sword. Looking around, he found himself outside of a medium-sized, stone bricked house. The roof was blanketed over a thick layer of snow. Standing next to him were 3 older girls. One had bright blonde hair, just like his, but with golden-amber eyes and wore a red, long sleeved tunic and brown trousers. One had dark blonde hair and blue eyes like his, wearing a yellow short sleeved dress and another had a streak of green in her dark orange hair and also had blue eyes, wearing a dark green, short-sleeved tunic and white trousers. Jaune blinked twice in disbelief. They were his sisters; Rouge, Saphron and Verte.

Rouge: Jaune?! What happened??? *runs to him*

Saphron: Are you okay?

Jaune: *grunts* Um... I guess? *

Verté: *sighs* We told you that practicing out in the cold was a ridiculous idea. Come on inside. Noir and Blanc are cooking dinner.

Jaune: Wait, what? Since when were those two able to cook anything?

Verté: ...they've been cooking our meals since 3 years ago. You and Rouge were the ones who taught them. Are you sure you didn't hit your head?

Jaune: I-

Rouge: Just help him up, Verte. Come on.

Jaune dropped the wooden sword onto the ground while his sisters helped him back up. He shivered as the snow stuck to his knees.

Saphron: By the way, have any of you seen where Noir and Blanc have gone?

Verte: Oh they came back a while ago. They're in the kitchen cooking dinner.

Rouge: *eyes gleaming* Is it lamb stew again?

Verte: *smiles* Yep!

The four of them entered inside and Rouge took Jaune to the fireplace. She tossed a red Dust crystal onto a pile of wood and it ignited immediately. Jaune stretched out his hands and felt the warmth touch his skin.

Jaune: Mmmm, this feels nice.

Rouge: Make sure you don't fall asleep before dinner. You don't wanna miss out on the stew. *chuckles*

Jaune looked at the living room and was surprised. It looked pretty good. There were two benches place next to the fireplace opposite each other and a large bookshelf in the corner. Above the fireplace hung the portrait of a man in white armour and bearing the Arc emblem on his chest plate. On his left hand side, he carried a rather unfamiliar sword. It had a blue sheath that matched its handle and a cobalt gem embedded in the pommel. Its crossguard was a pale gold and surrounded by a ring. Upon closer inspection, Jaune noticed that he looked a lot like his father.

After 20 minutes of warming up, he was called by Verte to come into the kitchen. Jaune arrived to see Noir and Blanc carrying the pot over to the table. A large puff of steam escaped as soon as the two of them took off the lid. Everyone's eyes sparkled with hunger. The mouth-watering meat, crunchy carrots, hearty leaks and fluffy potatoes were swimming in a sea of delicious stew. Jaune wasted no time and dashed to the table.

Blanc: *giggles* Well someone's hungry!

Noir: He better be, we worked hard on this.

Jaune: Mmmmm!!! *munching and slurping* Guys, this is incredible!

Noir/Blanc: Thanks! *beams*

Rouge: So Jaune, tomorrow you'll be returning to Beacon. Have you packed everything you needed to?

Jaune nearly dropped his spoon. He just got here, he had no idea whether or not anything was packed. More importantly, he didn't even know which room he slept in. He had to think quickly to try and avoid any suspicion.

Jaune: Ummm, well... yes?

Rouge: Good to hear. *smiles and headpats him*

Jaune: Agh, Rouge, come on! I'm not a kid anymore.

Noir: Awwww, big brother's blushing!

Blanc: He likes it!

Jaune: I do not! *blushes* Hmph.

For the rest of dinner, Jaune tried his best not to speak, resulting in an awkward atmosphere. Even though they were his brothers and sisters, he was starting realise how different they were back on his Remnant. He also noticed how old fashioned this house really was. There was no sign of a TV, computer, scrollphone, fridge, or any kind of electrial appliance aside from the lights. He knew this was a different universe, but it was becoming clearer that Jaune was in a completely different time period as well. The more he thought about it, the more his head started to spin. After dinner was over, Jaune decided to go to bed early and stumbled his way up the staircase adjacent to the kitchen.

[Jaune's bedroom]

Jaune lay in his bed and stared at the ceiling. As soon as he got here, he had more questions than answers. His siblings didn't appear to be of any help and looked at him like he was crazy. He looked at around at his room and noticed it was much barer compared to the one in his Remnant. On the desk, he saw vials of dark blue Dust, along with some green, yellow and red. Next to them was his sword, Crocea Mors, sheathed in white and laying atop his shield.

Jaune: Well at least some things never change. *chuckles* I bet Ren, Nora and Pyrrha are having a much easier time than I am. *sighs* Agh. Why didn't Merlin tell us that we going back to the Dark Ages? It would've been helpful!

As he contemplated on whether this mission was even worth pursuing, Jaune heard a loud scream.

Jaune: What the-?

He walked to the desk and opened the window. The scream became louder, followed by snarls and howls.

Jaune: Grimm...

Taking his sword and shield, he hurried downstairs and burst open the door to the outside. Bracing the cold, he ran into the direction of the chaos.

[Vin Village]

Shadowy black wolves growled and snarled at the villagers. Atop their faces were bone-like masks and their eyes were a burning red. Men and women tried their hardest to fight back against the pack, but they were too strong. The beasts fought back and slashed at the people as if they were defenceless lambs. Many tried to run, but they weren't fast enough.

From within a small shrubbery, Jaune could see the attacks unfold. Grabbing his sword, he drew it and ran. With a mighty yell, he slashed at one of the beasts and chopped its arm clean off. It screeched in pain. Taking his sheath, he pushed a small button and it changed into a shield, with the emblem of the Arc Family at the front. The rest of the grimm set their sights on Jaune and surrounded him.

Jaune: Try and get as far away from here as you can. I'll hold them off.

Villager: Are you crazy? There's 7 beowolves there!

Jaune: I've handled these creatures before. I've got enough Dust with me. Just do what I say and get everyone to safety as quick as you can!

Villager: Alright. Good luck. *runs*

Jaune: *deep breath* Okay Jaune, it's just like back home.

Two beowolves lunged at him, baring their sharp claws and fangs. Immidiately, Jaune blocked them with his shield. His feet dragged against the snow as he was pushed back slightly. Raising his sword, he struck at one of them.

Jaune: Hah!!

He managed to land a scratch on its chest. The other beowolf tried to attack Jaune, but he dodged just in time.

Jaune: *grins* Yaah!

He thrusted his sword into its chest and yelled out in pain. Suddenly, Jaune noticed 3 of the beowolves running away from the village.

Jaune: Oh no you don't! *pushes beowolf with shield*

Before he could catch up to them, someone dropped down in front of the beowolves, armed with a black and red-bladed scythe. They wore a bright red cloak and their face was obscured with a hood. In a single stroke, they slew the 3 beowolves. Jaune was impressed.

???: Behind you!

Jaune: *turns around* Woah!

He narrowly avoided being scratched by a stray beowolf, losing his footing and falling to the floor. Instantly, the cloaked warrior dashed towards the grimm at top speed and blocked an incoming attack. Pushing the grimm back, they decapitated it with their scythe. Jaune shook his head and stood up. Gripping his sword as tight as possible, he and the cloaked warrior stood back to back was they were surrounded by the remaining 3 beowolves.

???: When I say 'now', we strike. Got it?

Jaune: Uh... yeah. G-Got it.

The beowolves slowly moved closer, growling. Jaune could feel his spine tingling.

???: Now! Sah!!! *slices beowolf*

Jaune: Hah! *stabs beowolf*

Jaune/???: YAAAAH!!! *chops beowolf in half*

The threat was over and the grimm crumbled into ash. Jaune turned to the cloaked warrior.

Jaune: *smiles* Thanks for the help.

???: *takes off hood* No problem, Jaune.

Jaune felt a wave of happiness as soon as the warrior unhooded herself. She had dark red hair, with bright red highlights and gleaming silver eyes. He felt stupid that he didn't recognise that it was Ruby earlier. He didn't stop to think about it and rushed towards her. He wrapped his arms around Ruby in a loving hug.

Jaune: I'm so glad to see you!

Ruby: Um... *nervous laughter and blushes* I'm glad to see you too. Is everything okay?

Jaune: Oh! *breaks hug*Uh, yeah. I-I'm fine. I-It's just nice to have help, hehe.

Jaune needed to remind himself that he had to be careful. This wasn't his world and his friends and family weren't exactly like they usually were either.

Jaune: Anyway, *ahem* how did you find out about the beowolf attack anyway?

Ruby: Oh, I heard about from a tavern at Malbec. Mom is not gonna be too happy when she finds out I've left. *nervous chuckle*

Jaune was surprised to hear Ruby mention her mom being upset. So she was alive in this universe, it seemed. Jaune shook his head to compose himself.

Jaune: I heard about the attack before I was gonna go to bed. I rushed here as fast as I could.

Ruby: Good thinking. Though you could've thrown on a coat at least, *chuckles* I gotta say, you've gotten much better since you started back at Beacon. I guess all those lessons with Mr Taurus have finally paid off.

Jaune: Mr... who?

Ruby: Mr Taurus You know, the combat instructor?

Jaune: Huh? I thought our combat instructor was Miss Goodwitch.

Ruby: ...

Jaune: What?

Ruby: Are you sure you're feeling okay?

Jaune: *groans* Man, everyone's been asking me that today. Don't worry about me, Ruby. I'm fine. How about we check up on the villagers instead? See if they need any medical attention.

Ruby: Hmmm, okay Jaune. We'll talk again later.

Ruby walked near the gate, where the villagers were gathered. Many of them thanked her and tried to give her gifts, much to Ruby's embarrassment. Jaune took one step and immidiately doubled over in searing pain. His head felt like it was being dragged across the ground. Suddenly, several images flashed in his mind. One of them was of a tall, spiky red-haired man with bronze eyes and black horns. Jaune was horrified as he recognised just who he was.

Jaune: *frantic gasping* No... A-Adam?! What the hell?! What the hell is going on?!

Jaune heard footsteps trudge along the snow and slowly looked up. It was Ozpin, dessed in black and green robes, lacking his trademark glasses and held a long, thin staff with an emerald on top of it.

Ozpin: Hello Jaune.

Jaune: O-Ozpin. *coughs*

Ozpin: Steady there. It's time you and I had a little chat.

Jaune: What about-?

Ozpin: I'll explain to Miss Rose about the situation later. In the meantime, I suggest you come with me. Your journey through the multiverse must've taken a toll on you.

Jaune: ...how did you know?

Ozpin: *smirks* Merlin sent me a little message.

Muffin man ( I see this video in tik tok in the end of the post i will send the video)

Team jnpr and rwby together with sun and neptune were camping outside of beacon and they were sitting by a campfire making marshmallows. Yang: Hey jaune you didn't have a guitar? Campfire music would be nice! Jaune: Oh I don't know like I don't think I'm very good at playing but I can try!

Weiss: I hope is not another try to ask me to a date.

The group laughed along with weiss at her comment until jaune would grab his guitar from his backpack and take a deep breath and start to play the guitar. J: I'm your muffin man You're my muffin girl Let's get together and we'll see the muffin world In a car or a plane We can muffin every day Always forever in our little muffin tray. Pyrrha seeing jaune singing makes her blush a little and then she takes a little breath and starts to sing along. P: You're my muffin man I'm your muffin girl Throw in some chocolate chips then we'll give it a whirl

Grab a bus or a train We can meet on Drury lane Grow old together in our fluffy muffin way. Everyone in the group was enjoying the music and yang seeing the opportunity starts to sing along. Y: You're that something sweet I'm that extra spice Put us together and I'm sure life taste real nice I don't ever wanna share my lil' sweetie pie A spoonful of sugar that I get to call mine. Jaune, seeing people enjoying the music and singing along with him, whistled to the rhythm of the music. J: I'm your muffin man Y: Yes you are J: You're my muffin girl P: Mmmmmm J:Let's get together and we'll see the muffin world! N: Let's get together and we'll see the muffin world! J: In a car or a plane We can muffin every day! J:Always forever in our little muffin tray B: Always forever in our little muffin tray S: Yeah, that's my muffin dude I hope he's cuffin you Cuz' in the heat of pressure he'll rise above just like us the muffins do And when some days you're feeling chewed and then you get the muffin blues So you're merry, he'll take his berries and muffin love, he'll give 'em to you. N: And I'm another muffin guy But I'm here to tell you this muffin's telling no lies He would go a million muffin miles To see you mother-muffin smile I know he's wild about ya So never doubt him That's my muffin pal And he's been telling me that he really wants you to be his muffin gal. Weiss listening to the music and hearing everyone in the group singing she would blush and start singing along. W:So I'm your muffin girl And you're my muffin man? Let's dance together in that shiny, little world Field of flowers, sky of stars And we need to fall in love So run with me my sweetie muffin man. Jaune would stop playing and look at his friends smiling at him and then jaune would give them a big smile on his face making weiss pyrrha and yang blush heavily
