I’d Like To Imagine This Being The First Time Most Of Them Have Heard Neo Speak.

Ruby masters the ‘molecular level’ of her semblance but mostly uses it so she doesn’t have to redo her corset laces and buckles every day.

Jaune: fuck.

Ruby: JAUNE!

Jaune: oh im sorry let me say it louder. FUCK!

Councilman Arc AU: Juniper Arc had dealt with plenty of trouble caused by her eight children, but honestly, how is she meant to handle the first lady of Menagerie calling her up hoping to sneak a marriage arrangement over their children's heads?

Mama Arc had to deal with a lot of things over her life, particularly ever since she became a mother. The shenanigans of her children, worrying about her only son, especially once he all but fell into his role as councilman of Vale.

She could take solace that Salem promised her she would take care of him, that he would not be harmed.

Though she was not quite prepared for a call from Menagerie, from Kali Belladonna, no less!

“Ah, Mrs Arc, I presume,” the cat lady greeted her jovially, a twinkle in her amber eyes.

“Hello, Mrs Belladonna,” the mother of eight barely got out, blindsided and barely prepared for this. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“Just call me Kali! And...well, I wanted to know if your son is single right now.”

Now the woman was alarmed. What did she want with her son?? “Yes, he is, but why do you ask?”

“I have a daughter. Single as well.”

Ah, that was a relie- wait.

“Are you suggesting what I think you are suggesting?”

“Maybe?” the First Lady of Menagerie replied playfully. “I do want to set the two up for a date.”

Mrs Arc was still suspicious. “For what reason?”

“Can you imagine the grandkitties?”

Oh.

Oh!

“You and I will get along ju~st fine,” the matriArc laughed.

Does this count as Cloak & Stagger approval?

I’d say/hope so.

Kdin smash or pass jaune

Fucking laughed at this

Savage Jaune AU

Jaune: Dammit Cardin I can’t even tell what you’re doing! I guess I know how your girlfriend feels!

Cardin: *Punching harder* Shut! Up! Arc! *Cardin’s hand lets out a cracking sound, drops Jaune* AAAHH!

Jaune: Don‘t worry about it man. I’m sure there are some guys who can’t last longer than you, somewhere...

Cardin: *Holding his now broken hand* Grrrahhhhh!

Reminder jaune took a beating from cardin and smiled.

The other Happy Huntresses, and Nora, find May and Jaune dozed off cuddling on the couch together with some sappy movie playing, how to they react?

robyn: *sigh*

joanna: should i wake them

robyn: no no just leave them

fiona: *star eyes* AAAAAAAAAAH

nora: i knew it was the haircut

I seriously keep wanting to write a fic that starts with this, and they just end up landing within sight of each other.

Then they have to trek an indeterminate distance together to get to the evacuation point back at Beacon or back to Vale. Jaune wouldn’t have a clue who she is at this point in canon, I think?

Feels and bonding would happen, I have no idea what would happen once they were wherever they wanted to go though...

It’s not just that they both lost someone at Beacon. It’s that they couldn’t do anything to stop it.

I might be in the minority where I hope none of the ‘main girls’ become Maidens.

Ever since it was introduced Maidenhood has screamed ‘more trouble than it’s worth’ to me. You get a bit of a power boost but you still lose fights, and everyone now wants to find or fight you. You end up a over-pressured and paranoid mess.

Penny, honestly, was the one exception they could have convinced me on, it serves her arc in a way they couldn’t do most other ways, and they handled it’s effects well, through Fria’s choice through this episode.

It also seems a bit too obvious? Nora less so because the most obvious would be Team RWBY all getting magic.

Can we leave the Winter maiden Nora theory in V7 where it died? Y'all are really hoping Penny dies just so your personal fav can get a power up.

Penny's not dying again, she's already a real girl, and her arc would make no sense if she lost the powers. She'd be running from her conflict, not resolving it.

Nora already has an arc about identity issues and giving her the responsibilities of a maiden would make that worse. Let her figure out who she is as an individual.

Jaune x Vernal.

You definitely love the good ol’ prep school girl falling for the dangerous bad boy from the wrong neighborhood.

Especially when the girl is a boy and the boy is a girl.

Horny Ghost Pyrrha: *Posses Weiss and tries to get her to sleep with Jaune*

Weiss: *Struggling* MUST. RESIST. BANGING. ARC!

Horny Ghost Pyrrha: Do it Weiss~

Nora Valkyrie went from three seasons of no boyfriend to three seasons and counting of two boyfriends and their adopted son, and I think we should all aspire to turn things around that much.
