Right, but you’re missing the bit where Cinder would decide she wants an Arc-Fall baby so that she could have it fight Ruby’s Arc-Rose baby.
Jaune point his sword to Cinder.
Jaune: I'll kill you even it means my own death!
He immediately get jumped by Ruby to the ground.
Ruby: At least impregnate me first before you die!
Jaune: What the hell Ruby?!
Ruby began to undo Jaune's belt.
Ruby: Give us a few minutes!
Jaune: Sorry about this!
Cinder: Oh. I don't mind. Hmmm.
Explanation: So I wanted to stick to the rules of RWBY & make her outfit consistent with using her Volume 1 outfit as an example.
So in volume 1 she has this French allude inspire coat with sharp ends & I wanted to keep that part of the look but long & with fur edges. I actually do like how Ein Lee made made the inside of the coat purple & I wanted to keep that.
The next part is her catsuit. So in volume one, she’s wearing white shorts with zippers & a white crop top. I decided that since the coat covers the upper part the cat suit her legs really need to stick out against it & since it’s basically her shorts, but longer I decided to keep it how it was, just make it white.
I kept the knee pads & her boots black because she’s the black character & needs more black. I’m also determine to remind people know that her secondary color is purple not white. White is her third color. Which is why I kept the purple of Einlee’s design of Blake’s shoes into my own. I also made her fur that ugly manve purple she was wearing in volume 4 through 6. The grays and the gold ARE an accent color to her. (The gray in Ein Lee’s design should have never taken up so much of it like girl wtf.) So I tried to minimize it by just leaving it at the zippers. However since she’s dating Yang now I guess I wanted to add more gold/yellow to her outfit. The gold chain on her back though is suppose to represent Sun since both Yang & Sun came in & change Blake’s life for the better. Also I left the belt white because I didn’t want her back to look completely back. But yeah.
In a perfect AU, Blake cuts her hair during her fight with Adam. Not during the Atlas montage or whatever.
“How could you be so broken inside? To take so many lives...all with that damn smile on your face?!” - Jaune to Cinder, v5
Oh god but if Jaune actually knew the answer to that question tho...
This is what I want from a Team STRQ prequel, this is all I want.
Just give us four sets of like six or eight episodes each, summarizing them going through Beacon. Leave the drama out, I just want the action and hijinks.
Do you think Raven always assumed she was going to be tribe leader, and similar to Weiss took offense to Summer being chosen as leader over her, because she felt like she was meant for the leadership role? Except, unlike Weiss approaching Port and just inquiring about it normally, Raven was super salty and extra about it and snuck into Ozpin's office, so as to confront him when he walks in, swivelling round in his own chair like "So, Professor Ozpin. I'd like to discuss you reconsidering the leader for team STRQ" Or just straight up trying to sneak up and fight him to prove herself as a strong and worthy leader.
And Oz for a while not actually giving her an straight answer and just sort of going with it because it's infinitely entertaining and good training.
well i do now!!
the first time raven sneaks into ozpin’s office, she overshoots the chair turn completely. she’s never actually sat on a chair that swivels like that before and uses way too much force. she recovers pretty quickly, but it doesn’t go unnoticed by ozpin who’s really trying to keep his face neutral and not smile.
(he’s somewhat successful in that.)
raven’s never been good at making convincing arguments, so obviously, it didn’t work. so sneak attacks it is. every other student and even some of the teachers are flabbergasted because you can’t just attack The Headmaster like that, but ozpin’s just like “good morning miss branwen :) i believe your first class of the day is on the opposite side of the campus :)” in the middle of their little fight.
when none of this works, raven turns to looking for information about ozpin. for blackmail reasons. totally something that a leader would do, if you ask her.
she doesn’t find much, other than the mystery of “what is ozpin drinking from his mug”. it’s not coffee, and it’s not tea, that much she knows. her whole plan of blackmailing him is ruined when ozpin just. straight up tells her that it’s hot chocolate. and raven would be much saltier about it if she wasn’t also curious of finding out what the hell hot chocolate even is, and not knowing what hot chocolate is? that’s not something ozpin can stand for.
so the next time raven sneaks into ozpin’s office, ozpin’s ready and he has hot chocolate prepared. and raven would be extra salty, because how dare he know she was coming, but also how dare this drink be so good. so she can’t stay that mad for long, but by gods she tries.
ozpin eventually gives her an straight answer... probably. but by the time that happens, raven has completely forgotten what this all was originally about, that’s how sidetracked she got. the message is still received, sure, and if anyone asks?
raven has never snuck into ozpin’s office for hot chocolate. that has never happened, and she certainly didn’t keep sneaking in after the first time just for that reason. nope, no sir.
The gang’s playing a drinking game where they ask questions and they all rate their answers by how crazy are. One of the questions were “the weirdest place I had sex before” and Yang thought her and Blake had that in the bag. They once did it in a changing booth at a mall.
.....keyword, she thought, because Pyrrha told them that she and Jaune once had sex in RWBY’s dorm when the team were in JNPR’s dorm for a sleepover. They snuck away during it and quickly did it before coming back.
What made this worse was that they refused to tell them which bed they used.
Definitely Cinder ‘Scared of Vulnerability’ Fall.
Dog-faunus Jaune and Pyrrha would end up doing some praise-kink petplay shit.
And Blake would keep walking in on it!
Pyrrha: *Gives Jaune headpats* Who’s a good boy~
Jaune: *Blushing but enjoying the praise* Me! I’m a good boy, Pyrrha!
Pyrrha: That’s right. You’re such a good boy~ *Slowly pushes down on the top of Jaune’s head*
Jaune: P-Pyrrha?
Pyrrha: *Licks her lips seductively and slowly slides her skirt up, exposing her soaked panties* Who’s my good boy~ *Pushes down a little harder*
Jaune: *Blushes and drops down on his knees in front of her* M-Me, Pyrrha. I-I’m your good boy... *Let’s his head be guided in between his partners legs*
Pyrrha: *Moans happily* Mmmh~ Thats right Jaune. You’re MY good boy~
Blake: Horny on main. Currently lighting candles. Too lazy to let her own booty-call in the house.
Jaune: Was in bed already. Still smitten for his kitten. More happy that he’ll get sleep cuddling than he is for the sex.
Kali: Starting to get grandbaby-crazy. Has to be up in the morning. Hoping this one will fuck the emo out of her daughter.
When Blake invites him to smash at 1 in the morning: "It's clobbering time!"
When Kali answers the door wondering why they have visitors at 1 AM: "Milady, 'tis the clobbering hour."
Now we seriously need a Team RNNJR Neo outfit.
And maybe a different Atlas one.
I don’t know what I’d do for either.
Consider: An AU where RNJR encounter Neo on the way to Mistral. After a tense standoff, they convince her that Cinder is her true target and that Ruby shouldn't be blamed for Roman's death. She reluctantly allies with them and then starts to realize she and the blonde one have a surprising amount in common. Against all odds, they bond over their shared past, goals, and maybe even find comfort in each other when emotions run high
You are describing my perfect version of the best Silent Knight AU timeline. Neo was already on her vendetta on Cinder. And a quick explanation by Ruby that it was a Grimm that killed him would only strengthen her resolve. And make a nice new hatred towards Grimm in time to help RNJR fight the Nuckelavee.
Bonus points if Neo catches Jaune training alone in the woods and confronts him. After hearing him out, Neo suggests she help Jaune train late at night.
Then at Haven, I think Neo really could have helped Jaune break out of his fatalistic drive to fight Cinder. He was ready to kill her or be killed. But after Weiss gets hurt and Cinder escapes, I think Neo and Jaune would have AMPLE time to talk about their trauma and feelings.
Can you imagine RNJR meeting Neo again after Beacon and seeing her in her torn up clothes, damaged parasol, and bowler hat? And while everyone else gears up to fight her Jaune just stares at her hat while he holds onto Pyrrha’s sash???
I just finished my first of the spotify writing prompts and you might be VERY interested in when it takes place.
I’ve always loved a theory I saw that the vault isn’t even in Beacon either.
There’s some logic to support this, but it isn’t concrete:
The relic of choice getting hidden right under the spot where where partnered students choose their teammates.
The relic draws grim to it. The forest has more grim than we ever saw in the wild in Anima, for instance. But it would be regularly cleared out by students training in it.
The forest is wired up with cameras, supposedly just to monitor initiation, but Grimm Eclipse up and calls it a security system.
It’s not perfect, but I do love the idea.
So we know that the Relic of Choice is hidden differently to other relics, but I think I may have an idea on whereabouts it may be, or at least the door to it.
There’s a lot we can discern from the Vault under Haven Academy and later Atlas Academy. Each Vault is accessible via a tall, thin trapezium door which is unlocked by the touch of a maiden.
The Spring Vault is that of a dreamlike desert landscape, a single biome that stretches to the Horizon - a pocket dimension of sorts. The fact that it is a desert is to make it abundantly clear that this is not part of Haven, nor even Mistral.
I would say it’s easiest to assume that Atlas and Vacuo’s vaults have similarly contrasting biomes to the kingdoms they’re housed in - for example, Atlas’s may be a green forest, while Vacuo’s might be comprised of waterfalls and lakes. Being magical, these vaults probably aren’t beholden to the whims of time and therefore likely stay as they are, year around.
You’re probably wondering where I’m going with this.
Each vault is an almost unnatural biome.
Each vault stands out against its home kingdom.
The vaults probably don’t change based on natural-world time.
Now where have we seen something like that around Beacon?
Oh yeah, Forever Fall.
There’s a place in Vale that is noted to literally be always Fall. Not beholden to the passage of seasons or time, for no particular explained reason. (Unless…)
Volume 3 shows us fall, and its trees aren’t as bright red as Forever Fall’s are - they’re a more natural orange. Volume 1 makes a point of showing us this place twice, once in the Black Trailer and again in the Jaunedice arc, and yet never explains why it’s how it is. Jaunedice could have just as easily (if not more easily due to budget) occurred in the Emerald Forest again. But they choice to show us Forever Fall.
Forever Fall. Beacon’s vault needing the Fall Maiden. Forever Fall looking somewhat more fantasy than the rest of Remnant.
I’m not sure whether Beacon’s vault is located in Forever Fall, or if it is Forever Fall, or if it’s even goddamn open already and has leaked out into Forever Fall, but it’s something to do with goddamn Forever Fall.
