What If...

Now just flash-forward to an Arcwitch ending...

Jaune: (In detention) Um, Professor Goodwitch? I finished my assignment.

Glynda: Oh? And you won't fall asleep in my class again?

Jaune: N-No, ma'am.

Glynda: (Looks at her watch) There is still time for what's left of your detention. Would you like to leave early, or get an extra lesson in?

Jaune: Uh, actually, I had a question, since it's just us here.

Glynda: Oh?

Jaune: I-I was wondering why you were so angry today. I mean, you really, uh, cracked the whip on us with our studies.

Glynda: Hm. (Looks around, Walks towards Jaune) Do you promise not to say anything to anyone?

Jaune: Uh, yeah, I promise, Professor.

Glynda: (Standing next to Jaune) Are you certain? If I hear even the smallest whisper of what we speak of-

Jaune: I-I won't! Arc's word!

Glynda: Very well. (Sits down next to Jaune) I suppose my recent... lack of tolerance is the result of a lack of... intimacy in my personal life.

Jaune: Like dating?

Glynda: Yes, or rather what follows dating.

Jaune: O-Oh! (Blushes) Y-You mean, uh, sex, right?

Glynda: (Rolls her eyes) A relationship, Mr. Arc. I crave a kinship with another.

Jaune: Oh, s-sorry! Um, well, have you tried dating?

Glynda: ...No, Mr. Arc. I've been sitting around in my office for years because I love my job more than anything.

Jaune: Oh, well, that explains-

Glynda: Sarcasm, Mr. Arc.

Jaune: Oh. Well, what about one of the other professors?

Glynda: Even if there weren't a rule against inter-office romances, I would engage any of the men here.

Jaune: Really? Not even Headmaster Ozpin?

Glynda: Let's just say he's still dealing with his ex.

Jaune: Oh. Well, what about Professor Port?

Glynda: I'm yearning, Mr. Arc, not desperate.

Jaune: Okay, then how about Professor Oobleck?

Glynda: (Makes a chugging motion) Glugglugglugglugglugglug!

Jaune: Wow... Well, what about Headmaster Ironwood? He's not a faculty member.

Glynda: No, but James isn't interested in a relationship. A shame, too, since that man is in more dire need of a distraction than any man I've ever known.

Jaune: Okay, then how about Ol-

Glynda: Jaune, I'm going to be honest with you. (Removes her glasses) You are the closest thing to a man in my life, and that is so pathetic, I could just... (Places her head on the desk and begins sobbing)

Why does this sound like a threat...

Anyway, I’ll put my bet on Deery, because someone has to.

Second bet’s on Willow, she arguably wants it most.

….

jaune will lose his virginity soon

I just wish they’d let you setup a default filter set, if I’m never going to care to read about “Some Pairing” or “Some Fandom” or any sort of taggable thing I wish you could set it once and have it default to being in that slot, even better if you can then remove it just as easily as a one-time thing.

I know about Tuff’s userscript but I’d rather it tie to my account.

Setting a default language or languages would also be nice.

The only thing I want from ao3 is primary and secondary categories for ship tags and a "read more" type deal for the tags so they aren't all on display at once.

I just want to be able to find fics that are mainly about the ship I'm interested in, while being able to scroll past the smut fics tagged with every kink under the sun in a timely manner. Is that really too much to ask?

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.

Cinder still has RWBY and JNPR’s numbers from Undercover Beacon Time. Along with anyone else she talked to.

She says it’s for Intel or whatever but she really just likes having a bigger list of people she ‘knows’.

She may or may not have stolen Oscar’s number while Hazel was pummeling him.

Dorky unprompted pic taking cinder really shows a part of her genuinely thinks she has made connections to people. Lol a real relatable moment for Cinder would be for her to go through her contacts and she there's only like 4 and a half people there

Watts refuses to give her his contact info so she gets it from Hazel and the Contact photo is just a pic of the back of his head because tried to be discreet

Hazel gave Cinder his contact info and his contact photo is him given her a genuine smile and Cinder is spiraling

Tyrian stole her scroll and added his number and the contact photo is a selfie he took and Cinder finds out about it the following day

Emerald and Mercy share a contact because the only one who picks up is Emerald

And Salems contact photo has a bunch of Instagram filters making her look reverent as hell if the contact name is Salem with a crossed out Mom beside it

Bonus Contact names

Watts- Stinky Atlesian long man

Tyrian- Salem Favorite (Tyrian made this his name and somehow locked it in so she can't change it.)

Hazel- Tree Dad

Emerald and Mercury- Those two gremlins

cinder has never had a scroll when she was young, let alone anyone to put into her contacts, so she’s making sure now that she has everyone in there, whether they want it or not.

the pics are mandatory. she’s not just going to have some generic picture there, that’s absurd.

Why do I imagine Jaune pulling out a perfectly forged fake fed id, like he just made one in case he needs it?

Abuse of the Uniform

Officer Yang: You’re under arrest Vomit Boy!

Jaune, playing along: Oh, and why might that be officer?

Yang, winking: For being hella cute~

Jaune, flirtatiously: Oh no~ Surely there’s ‘something’ I can do to make this all go away…?

Yang, leaning in: Oh, I’m sure we could arrange something…

Jaune: Unfortunately I’m an undercover fed. You’re under arrest for misuse of government-granted authority.

Yang: Ah dammit.

Well it did take her six to even find Grandma.

…you know, it’s honestly just struck me that it’s taken nearly eight years for Little Red Riding Hood to meet the Big Bad Wolf. 

Slow. Burn. 

If you’ll excuse some hopeful guesswork. What do you do when you have an infection or parasite? You get a fever to burn it out.

Seriously, Cinder can outright incinerate people and make glass from dirt and I’m meant to believe the Grimm arm that can get sliced off with a sword will be an overwhelming issue once Cinder realized she should want it gone?

Even if they want to play it so she can’t handle it all alone, if the arm can pull that Midnight stuff and keep her from getting rid of it completely, I’d still peg it as Cinder being able to resist it overtaking her. She might be the only person able to resist so directly.

And them we can see Cinder learning to ask for help and we can get the Ruby/Cinder/Jaune scene we need.

But yeah, that’s just my hopeful thinking...

Feeling somewhat satisfied that I called the “Grimmified Cinder” stuff but also sad knowing she’ll probably go Grimm at the end of Vol 8 and it will probably take forever to turn her back. Also turning her back will likely result in her death. Sadness.

This shot is somehow able to perfectly mix genuinely Menacing Future villainess and Pissed off Edgy teen Energy.

I’d be down for pea coat, but roll with me for a second here.

They’re still gonna frostbitten Atlas.

Give Jaune a bomber jacket.

Actual sleeves, put a Beacon or Mantle or Pyrrha patch on the shoulder, think of that fur lined collar resting over the edges of his chestplate and say it wouldn’t look good.

Jaune: (whering his new coat)

Ruby: (blushing)

Jaune: what?

Ruby: THAT COAT MAKES YOU LOOK TOO COOL! (Petal burst away)

Jaune: (shrugs)
