Birdy Cheer Squad

Jaune: Alright, time for the championship match!

Jaune: ...

Jaune: Why do I have to do this?!

Qrow: Because, you won the bet!

Summer: Yes, because you won the bet!

Jaune: Bet, what bet?! We never made any bet?!

Qrow: It was a bet made between me, Summer, and my sister.

Jaune: Involving me in some manner?

Qrow: Yep.

Summer: And, you made sure that we won the bet!

Qrow: Good job out there, Jaune!

Jaune: Less ass kissing, and more explaining! What was this bet?!

Summer: T-The bet was that if you could win the last bout on your own, you would fight in the championship!

Jaune: What kind of bet is that?!

Qrow: And, if Raven couldn't beat either of them she would have to take a forfeit!

Jaune: What forfeit?

Qrow: Uhh... Well, it was one that, Raven would hate.

Summer: But, one you would like!

Jaune: Your answers answer nothing...

Qrow: Just... go out there, and fight the championship bout, and you will see, Raven's forfeit.

Jaune: And, if I don't fight in this championship?

Summer: You don't get to see, Rae-Rae's forfeit, and you will regret it.

Jaune: Haa... Fine! Fine I will fight the championship... Only because of you two, and your horrible mistakes!

Summer: It was his fault with his stupid semblance!

Qrow: Like hell that was my fault! You're the one who's weapon misfired, and shot my foot!

Summer: And, you pulled me out of the ring, getting us both disqualified?!

Qrow: That's only because of your oversized cape!

Summer: It's a cloak, and don't you dare make fun of my cloak?!

Jaune: Haa... Why did, Ozpin make me in charge of this circus troupe...

~~~

Oobaleck: And welcome everyone to this, the championship match for the Vytal festival!

Port: That's right, Bart! This is the final match of the day, between, Beacon Academy's, first year student, the White Knight, Jaune Arc!

Jaune: Why the hell are they calling me a white knight?

Oobaleck: And, Haven Academy's forth year student, The Mad Dog, Gerald Bordaigo!

Jaune: Mad Dog? White Knight is a little bland... but, it ain't as cringe as Mad Dog...

Gerald: Hey, what did you say?!

Jaune: I said your nickname is cringe.

Gerald: You wanna fucking go kid!

Jaune: We're about to have a match so... Yes?

Gerald: Then let's do THISSSS!

Jaune: ...

Jaune: Cringe...

Port: Alright then everyone! Let the match... BEGIN!

Jaune: Haa... Okay... let's...

: J-Janue!

Jaune: Huw, Raven what are you...?! What the hell are you wearing?!!

Raven:

Raven: G-GO JAUNE! Y-Y-YOU CAN DO IT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! WINNN!!!

Jaune: Gahh?!

Gerald: (Whistles~!) Damn~! And, that a smoking hot babe~! Hey is she yours blondie? Hey, if I win this I get the lady~! Don't worry, I'll treat her to a nice evening~!

Jaune: The fuck did you just say?!

Gerald: So, what do you say? Do we have a...!?

(Kr-crack!)

PO: OOOOOOHHHHH?!

Gerald: Ahhhhhh.....?!!?!

(Thud!)

Port: I think I speak for all the men here. But, that has gotta hurt!

Oobaleck: Even I flinched from that kick...

Jaune: You better stay the fuck away from my woman! No get up, and prepare for a beat down unlike any other you bastard!

Gerald: ...

Jaune: ...

Gerald: ...

Jaune: ...

(Kick, kick...)

Jaune: ...

Jaune: I think I killed him...

Port: It seems like, Mr. Bordaigo is unable to battle... Mr. Arc wins!

Oobaleck: Someone brings a stretcher for, Mr. Bordaigo... He's going to need it...

Jaune: Wait... I won?

Raven: Good job, Jaune! Come back here, and claim your reward~!

Jaune: Reward...?

Jaune: Can I go! I need to claim my reward! NOW!

~~~

Summer: THat worked...

Qrow: A little too well really...

Summer: Well, I need to get going, Jaune's getting his reward after all~!

Qrow: But, my sister is...?

Summer: I am also his reward! I would have join, Raven in her cheerleader outfit, but I didn't have one so I couldn't join her!

Qrow: O-Okay...

Summer: Good! Now wait for me my loves~!

Qrow: ...

Qrow: Bloody blondes... why does he get all the girls...?

[howlingday]

Do you think team STRQ has a bunch of events called incidents like

Tai: I would do that again but I don’t want a repeat of the “waffle incident” *thousand yard stare*

You mean like a Noodle Incident? Oh, 100% yes! I mean, technically, RWBY Chibi hinted at repeated "pantsless" stories.

Wait, it IS canon, because Tai talks about it with Port and Oobleck!

Taiyang: We told him it was a kilt! He'd never worn a uniform before, so he didn't know!

Oobleck: That is terrible! What is wrong with you!?

Taiyang: Hey! The girls all said he had nice legs! I did that jerk a favor! Besides, that's not even the best part! See, then we-

Port puts his right leg on the tabletop, cutting off Taiyang.

Port: "Like what you see?"

So... Yeah! I definitely think there's plenty of stories that haven't been told yet involving Team STRQ.

[howi99]

Ghira: Half a pound of ham, 1.28 Liens.

Ironwood: I need to speak with Kali, can you tell me where to find her?

Ghira: Chicken breast, 1.60 Liens.

Ironwood: Alright, maybe you can tell me if team RWBY have been here.

Ghira: Top rate bone chuck roast, 2 Liens per pound.

Ironwood: We're here on official military business, you have no need to protect them.

Ghira: Ground beef, pork or turkey, .99 Liens a pound.

Port: *taking a step toward the counter* I'll take care of this one, sir.

Port: *making direct eye contact with Ghira while removing his shirt*

Ghira: *not reacting at all*

Port: *began to flex, still looking at Ghira*

Ghira: *sigh... Then begin to flex, hard enough for his shirt to explode*

Port: *impressed, still flexing*

Blake: *entering the room in a hurry, Nora following suit* Stop Professor! The rest of the team are- huh?

Ghira and Port: *shaking hands, Port sparkling with misty eyes*

Nora: Guess they've earned each other's respect, the muscles did the talking for them.

Blake: ... That's just odd.

Can the RWBY Character say the Bad word for Gay?

Based on those shorts by Jake Blennings

Ruby: Yes, But she won't.

Weiss: Yes, and Has, originally as an insult, but now as a matter of pride in her bisexuality.

Blake: Yes, but chooses not to.

Yang: I cannot fathom Entertaining the Idea that she can't. She's a sapphic that catches on fire, the word was LITERALLY MADE FOR HER

Jaune: Yes, And has, but only because he didn't know what it meant so he asked his mom, and when he learned what it meant he washed his mouth out with soap and threw up because he was scared he was homophobic.

Pyrrha: Yes, but won't, both because she personally doesn't want to, and she'd be cancelled faster than Ruby eating a platter of cookies.

Nora: Yes, uses it as both a compliment and an insult.

Ren: Yes, but when he says it he more likely means a bundle of sticks.

Oscar: Yes, but when he says it he more likely means a bundle of sticks.

Emerald: Yes. She hasn't, but she could.

Mercury: Yes, but he thinks he isn't allowed to. Does anyway.

Cinder: Yes. Like Yang, but. Evil.

Neopolitan: Yes, but she doesn't speak, so no? Like, she can speak, she chooses not to, but-

Roman: My Man wears eye-shadow and acts like a theater kid. He can say. Even if he's cishet, I'm giving him a pass for the word.

Qrow: Yes. This man is SO Bisexual, trust me.

Raven: On one hand I want to say no because of vibes, on the other hand I want to say yes because I enjoy Rosebird and Hellbirds, and in a third hand, there's the ones that REALLY ship Rosebird and Hellbirds pointing a .38 Colt Revolver at me, so I think she can say it.

Taiyang: oh he can FUCKING Say it, if it mean she can take me out to dinner.

Summer: oh GODs Yes.

Ozpin: Yes, he can. He won't, but he could.

Glynda: I'm gonna be honest ... I don't think so, not just a faculty member of prestigious school, she's just ... I dunno. Not strong vibes for or against her saying it.

Oobleck: No he can't, and he doesn't.

Port: No he can't, but does because he means a Cigar/Cigarette

Jacques: No, does anyway knowing FULL Well what it means.

Ironwood: No, does anyway but he means a bundle of sticks.

Winter: Yes. She doesn't know she can, but she can.

Willow: Can, has, and will.

Whitley: See; Weiss, but with the understanding he hasn't realized it yet.

Robyn: I'm sorry, this woman is fighting against the Government with a band of other, strong, smart, capable women Of course She can fucking SAY it.

Kali: Yes, Doesn't because she's married to a political figure.

Ghira: Yes, IF IT MEANS HE CAN TAKE ME OUT TO DINNER-

[rodanhoax]

Jaune: *Wielding the relic of destruction* It's over Pyrrha! Give me back my son!

Pyrrha: Don't you mean, "our" son?

Jaune: Pyrrha... y-you look so different.

Pyrrha: I did a little something with my hair. And my lips.

Jaune: Are those thigh highs?

Pyrrha: So you noticed those too?

Ironwood: Okay Jaune, take the shot.

Pyrrha: What do you think of them?

Jaune: I uh... um-

Ironwood: She's standing right there, Jaune. Take the shot.

Pyrrha: Do you like my open bust dress~?

Jaune: Oh god yeah.

Qrow: What the hell is wrong with you?!

Port: Blast this harpy!

Jaune: I'm sorry guys, b-but I cant.

Port: The shrew has been forged from brimstone.

Qrow: Translation?

Ironwood: He's saying she's an evil clone.

Jaune: I hear ya. Counterpoint:

Jaune: She's really hot.

Qrow: Damn it Arc!

Port: Reject women! Embrace huntsmanship!

Ironwood: Can't you see how evil she is?!

Pyrrha: I'm going for the goth girlfriend look.

Jaune: Okay guys, I know she's an evil clone... But, she is the mother of my child. To be honest, this situation is confusing as hell for me. I... I'm tapping out.

Qrow: Tapping out?

Ironwood: You're a huntsman, you can't tap out.

Jaune: Dude, I'm tapping out.

Port: What would Ozpin think of this treason?

Jaune: The professor?

-Flashback-

Ozpin: You're like a son to me Jaune, I trust you with my very life. I want you to know that I keep a gun in hidden inside my cane. It's always with me Jaune. I sleep with it. I dream of it. You can never be too careful around these students-

Jaune: It's not working, he... keeps talking about guns.

Ironwood: Guns?

Jaune: Yeah.

Qrow: That doesn't sound right.

Pyrrha: Are you sure this isn't his evil clone?

Jaune: He kind of hinted it was for... self defense?

Port: Guns are nothing before my axe!

Qrow: Isn't your axe also a gun?

Port: Silence!

Ironwood: You don't think the professor actually used it do you?

Jaune: Do I think the professor shot someone? No, of course not. That's like totally ridiculous. Besides, we would have heard about it.

Pyrrha: He could have just wiped your memories.

Jaune: What?

Pyrrha: He could have shot someone then wiped everyone's memories about the event. With his magic it would have been easy for him.

Jaune: This is a terrifying thought.

Ironwood: Don't listen to her Jaune!

Pyrrha: Join me Jaune. The Grimm Queen needs a king.

Jaune: Not gonna lie, Grimm Queen is kind of weird, but i'm in.

Port: Step away from her you fool!

Jaune: I'm kind of bricked up at the moment.

Qrow: Don't worry Arc, I know this ain't easy. That's why I offer myself... as a sacrifice. Do what you want to me Pyrrha, make me your freaky sex puppet for all I care. Just let Arc go!

Port: What a noble gesture!

Ironwood: He is truly the best of us.

Qrow: Tie me up. Slap me. Step on me! It's alright, my ego ain't that big. Just leave the kid out of this!

Jaune: I know what you're doing.

Qrow: You ain't gotta thank me Jaune. Y'know... I really shoulda said this sooner, but... but you're like a brother to me!

Jaune: You've always had a thing for her.

Qrow: Oz would've been proud of ya, kid. I know I sure as hell am.

Jaune: You can't just live out your sick fantasies with my fake goth girlfriend!

Port: Your words can no longer reach him... His heart is set.

Ironwood: We shall remember you, Qrow... We shall remember you.

Qrow: So Pyrrha... How ya wanna do this? Should I take off the cape now, or-

Pyrrha: Sorry, Qrow, but you're a little old for my taste. Not to mention a furry.

Qrow: Furries deserve love!

RWBY Atlas/Mantle name theory:

I have a theory that you can work out if a character was born/raised/had a parent from the Kingdom of Atlas based on their names. (For the purposes of this post when I say Atlas I will be referring to the Kingdom not the city.)

So we know most people in Remnant have names based on colours or stories or nature, a key thing since the Great War, which came out of an idea from Atlas (then Mantle) that freedom of expression led to strong emotions and therefor grimm and led to the leaders of the time trying to ban art and culture.

This is probably why Atlas, more than anywhere else we see in Remnant, has characters with names outside of this tradition:

James, Arthur, Tyrian, Pietro, Joanna, Fiona, Caroline, Harriet, Jacques, Whitley, Nicholas, Camilla, Will (Scarlatina), Klein, Stephanie (Ironwoods assistant) etc etc etc.

There are a lot of characters in Atlas with this style of name compared to everywhere else. As time has gone on the tradition of themed names has clearly entered into Atlesian culture but none the less, it’s still far common than anywhere else. We also know that global travel within the four kingdoms in this time of peace isn’t uncommon at all.

My theory is that characters with non-colour/nature names outside of Atlas may have Atlas heritage/origins.

Glynda Goodwitch may have been from Atlas before she studied and taught at Beacon. Oscar Pine may have had an Atlesian parent or parents before living with his aunt in Mistral. Nora Valkyrie, before living on the streets of a rural town in Mistral, may have come from or had family in Atlas. Characters like Leonardo Lionheart, Bartholomew Ooblek, Peter Port, Maria Calavera, they all may have family and origins that go back to Atlas.

Obviously we don’t know any of this for sure, but it’s my theory and I find it fascinating.

I told you I would bring up @pmpknsoup’s post more times.

INT. THEODORE’S OFFICE IN SHADE ACADEMY - EARLY EVENING

(Team RWBY and Jaune face the main members of the Remnant Alliance, consisting of Team JNPR plus Oscar/Ozpin and Emerald, Team STRQ, the Ace-Ops, the Happy Huntresses, Winter, the Beacon Brigade, Whitley, Willow, Klein, Maria, Pietro, Ghira, Kali, Ilia, Oobleck, Port, Glynda, Theodore, Rumpole, and Zwei.)

RUBY: Listen. Thanks, everyone, for your patience.

RUBY: It took a while to figure out how to tell you, and I know being left in the dark about our whereabouts over the remainder of the winter, the whole spring, and the summer has left you anxious, but now, I’ve decided it’s time to reveal what’s been going on. Robyn, I’ll need your Semblance to prove all of this correct.

ROBYN: Uh, okay.

(Robyn steps away from the group, removes her glove, and joins hands with Ruby. Her Semblance turns on and glows green with every piece of information Ruby gives.)

ROBYN: So, you guys didn’t make it out of the pocket dimension before it collapsed. Where did you guys fall to?

RUBY: Well, after I fell, I regained consciousness on a beach surrounded by giant seashells. I tried to hone in on a giant tree, but just ended up looping in circles. Eventually, I had to stop, then found a mouse trying to pull a plant out of the ground. I pulled the plant, which turned out to be a cheese plant, out for the mouse, and fed it to them. After the mouse revealed that they could talk, I named them Little, and they decided to stay by my side as I tried to get home. Then we found Weiss and Blake captured in vines by a whole village of talking mice. It didn’t take much convincing to get them to let them go. Then we went to look for Yang and found a creepy Grimm-looking creature moving jerkily. And I mean very creepy. (IMITATING JABBERWALKER) “Stalking. Searching. Waiting. Listening.” (NORMAL VOICE) Then Yang came barreling out, already fighting the creature while missing her arm. Then Blake realized we were in our favorite childhood fairy tale, The Girl Who Fell Through the World.

(Confusion and wonder all around. “That fairy tale?” “The Ever After?” “It’s real?”)

OSCAR: That fairy tale actually happened? And the Ever After is real?

RUBY: Which means the creepy Grimm-like creature was the Jabberwalker from that story. Also, Weiss had a very hard time wrapping her head around the Ever After’s absurdities.

(Weiss blushes with embarrassment.)

WEISS: I did not.

RUBY: Our hands are glowing green, Weiss. Robyn’s Semblance never fails.

WEISS: Hmph!

RUBY: Then we went to the village in the King’s Acre to barter with the Jinxy Peddler, who had stolen Yang’s arm. Well, they don’t “steal”, they just “take things others aren’t looking at”. Fair is fair, right, Little?

ROBYN: Sounds like a legitimate businessperson.

WEISS: Right?

EMERALD: So, what was the Jinxy Peddler like?

VELVET: Was he cute?

WEISS: Cute? He was adorable!

RUBY: And, despite being older than he was in the book, his strategy was the same, selling treasures that are really other items in disguise. If my memory serves me right, he had a yellow scepter, a pink rabbit statue, and a marionette-like doll. Toy soldiers won the scepter, and we only got it back from them because Little tried stealing the marionette, exposing Jinxy’s treasures as fakes. The rabbit statue was another mouse, the scepter was Yang’s arm, and the marionette was one of Penny’s Floating Array swords. The soldiers followed us to arrest us for stealing Yang’s arm, or “royal property”, before I traded Penny’s sword, and told them she was the greatest warrior to ever live. “She was touched by magic, and she gave her life for thousands. She took a message of hope to the stars, and she saw the world through better eyes.”

(The gang gets emotional, especially Winter and Pietro, who are comforted by their loved ones.)

RUBY: The soldiers escorted us to the Crimson Castle for the birthday of who we thought was the Red King, but turned out to be the Red Prince, who was more of a spoiled brat than Weiss was at Beacon.

YANG: (nudging Weiss) Heh-heh.

RUBY: We challenged him to a game of chess, where he shrunk the girls to the size of chess pawns. Not that it hindered their performance against the Prince’s pawns. When we revealed that we’re humans and beat him, he threw a tantrum and wanted us beheaded, and the Curious Cat rescued us.

(More interested chatter. Nora gets giddy.)

NORA: The Curious Cat?!

REN: Were they as chatty as the book made them out to be?

RUBY: Mm-hm. Not to mention easily distracted. Anyway, they took us to look for ingredients for a Growgurt Parfait in the Garden’s Acre, and we told them our life story, but because we kept getting distracted with our internal conflicts, we kept losing them over and over again. After the third time, when they asked me how I’m supposed to save the world now that Salem has two out of four Relics and that Atlas is gone, we met an herbalist, a caterpillar named Herb. He seemed to be asking us questions to figure out what medicine he needed to make to help us. Looking back, he was being reasonable, as too little medicine is useless, but too much medicine is toxic. Eventually, Herb decided to just smoke a hookah for a bit and drugged us with leaves that made us see our past selves tempting us to “go back”. To be free. To be simple. To be whole. To be different. The other girls rejected and had already accepted their failures as something to learn from, but I almost gave in, before the Cat stopped me, then got Herb swallowed by a hole in the ground.

(The gang chatters in moods ranging from confusion to nervousness.)

TAI: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up. You guys did drugs?

QROW: Don’t let alcoholism be next, girls.

RUBY: Anyway, the Cat led us to a market to keep looking for the Parfait ingredients. Along the way, they told us about a process that occurs when an Afteran is no longer doing their assigned role, triggered by them losing their ways, wearing out, doubting themselves, or even just finishing their assigned tasks, upon which they’re taken to the Great Tree and repurposed into someone or something else with a new identity, personality, and role. Their memories are erased in the process, but the heart very rarely forgets. They don’t die. They ascend.

(Such a concept catches the interest of the gang.)

REMNANT ALLIANCE: Ooh.

EMERALD: Talk about a potential existential crisis.

RUBY: Hence why there was no Red King when we got to the Castle. He lost his game and ascended into the brat we encountered. And the hole that swallowed Herb was him starting his own Ascension. Anyway, after we arrived at the market and got all of the Parfait ingredients, the market was attacked by Jabberwalkers using Neopolitan’s Semblance. Oh, yeah, Neopolitan fell with us, too.

(Nora, Ren, Oscar, and Emerald grow worried.)

REN: Uh-oh.

TAI: Neopolitan? Who’s that?

RUBY: Remember Roman Torchwick, the criminal from Vale? Neo was his partner. She held me responsible for his death at the Fall of Beacon and wanted me dead to avenge him.

RAVEN: Was she that chick I saved Yang from on the train under Mountain Glenn?

RUBY: Yep. Then I disposed of her by opening her umbrella on an Atlas airship in the sky during the Fall of Beacon. Apparently she survived that fall without any of those Grimm surrounding us eating her.

OSCAR: Team JNPR and I last fought her right after Ironwood declared us fugitives.

RUBY: Then she fought us in the pocket dimension between here and Solitas. Heck, she was the reason Yang, Blake, and I fell. Anyway, we made the Growgurt Parfait and the girls grew back to normal size just as we got assistance from the Rusted Knight riding his white rabbit.

WHITLEY: Did Weiss go goo-goo eyes the second she laid eyes on him? She had a crush on him when she was younger.

BLAKE: I think everyone had a crush on the Rusted Knight at some point.

RUBY: Well, things didn’t help when he turned out to be a grown-up Jaune with longer hair and a beard, who grabbed a fruit that sent him back in time twenty years right after he landed.

(The gang gasps at the new knowledge of the Rusted Knight being not only Jaune, of all people, but Jaune thrown backwards in time, grown older, and living without his friends for so long.)

NORA: Oh, my Gods!

REN: Jaune, that really happened to you?

JAUNE: I was stuck there isolated from other human contact, too.

YANG: Weiss certainly loved how mature he was.

RUBY: And the white rabbit was a jackalope Jaune named Juniper.

NORA: After his team? Aww!

RUBY: Then Jaune told us his perspective on the Tree, that he believed it was death, that Alyx backstabbed her brother Lewis, the author of the fairy tale, who wrote the story the way he wished it happened, and that the Cat couldn’t be trusted. Before long, we got caught in a “punderstorm”, which creates a physical manifestation of a mental or emotional problem. Jaune, Weiss, Juniper, and I were sent to metaphorical and literal crossroads, while Yang and Blake were sent to two unstable bridges connected to a giant pillar that they could only make more planks to advance toward if they were honest about their feelings for each other. Yeah, Yang and Blake are girlfriends.

(As Yang and Blake blush at each other, everyone congratulates them.)

NORA: See, Ren? I told you there was more going on!

KALI: Our baby girl found love?

TAI: With my sunny little dragon?

RAVEN: Wow. She really is your daughter, Tai.

TAI: What’s that supposed to mean?

RAVEN: A tall confident blonde slinging dad jokes and puns and a brooding dark-haired beauty? A tale as old as time.

RUBY: Then the Cat bailed on us after mistaking us for selfishly using them to get home, and once the storm passed, Jaune let us spend the night in his house in the Origami Acre, then he introduced us the next morning to a village of paper stars called the Paper Pleasers. They seemed very dumb and clumsy at first, because of the daily disasters they were causing, but, at the end of the day, were very hospitable. He also named them after all of us. On his to-do list, I saw Ren, Ruby, Oscar, Nora, Neptune, and Pyrrha.

(Not a word is spoken as everyone exchanges concerned and uncomfortable looks with each other.)

RUBY: Anyway, a Paper Pleaser told us they kept causing disasters because they wanted to ascend, because their purpose was long since finished, but Jaune was stopping them because of his belief that the tree was death. They told us that the Tree isn’t death, but resurrection, rebuilding, and rebirth.

JAUNE: That must have been our waiter, the Blake Paper Pleaser.

RUBY: Then Neo’s Jabberwalkers attacked, and while we were distracted, the Paper Pleasers finally managed to off themselves by destroying the koi pond dam and drowning in the flood, then when the girls asked me to help comfort Jaune, I blew up at them for caring more about everyone else’s feelings or getting home, taking my mental health for granted and ignoring my problems…

(As Weiss, Blake, Yang, and Jaune exchange looks of guilt…)

(…everyone leans in anxiously. Things are getting even more interesting, but not in a good way.)

RUBY: …then I ran away, came across the Abandoned Acre, and entered a mansion, where Neo had made clone illusions of Roman Torchwick, Penny, Pyrrha, Professor Lionheart, Clover, Ozpin, and Ironwood, and used them to physically and psychologically abuse me, beating me up ruthlessly and blaming me for their deaths, and when the chaos was over, I felt no will to live or be myself anymore, not helped by Torchwick’s question: “Do you really think you can stand to watch more of your friends fall? Or are you ready to admit the truth, that the world would just be better off without you?”

(The gang regards Ruby sorrowfully. Ozpin can be heard sniffling.)

RUBY: Then Neo offered me tea made from leaves from the Tree intended to wipe me from existence. The Cat blasted her away, but then turned out to be evil and tried to possess me, while revealing that they had been trying to wear me down the whole time, then Neo fought them off and stomped Little to death, then I finally gave in, drank the tea, offing myself, and got swallowed by the Tree.

YANG: (tearing up) Oh, Rubes.

RUBY: Then I met a Blacksmith, who I also found at the market, or, rather, she found me, and then she presented me with a choice to either change my identity or be myself. I saw my mom Summer’s weapon and was treated to a vision of the night she left with Raven on another one of Ozpin’s secret missions and never came back.

(Tai turns accusingly at Raven.)

TAI: Raven?

YANG: She lied? She left with you?

RAVEN: Yeah… Hey, like I said to her, “First time for everything.”

(The gang gives her a look.)

RAVEN: Really? Sheesh. Tough crowd.

HARE: (to Ruby) Wait. Summer? Like, Summer Rose, the Huntress and leader of Team STRQ?

RUBY: Yeah.

REMNANT ALLIANCE: (walla) Summer?…Summer Rose?…The previous silver-eyed Huntress?…That’s Summer Rose’s daughter?

RUBY: And then, I remembered my mom’s words, “I love you just the way you are,” chose to be myself, and came back to help the girls fight the Cat. And we won.

(Cheers and applause all around.)

RUBY: And then Neo killed the Cat by using the Jabberwalkers to eat them. By the way, the Jabberwalker is the only creature to prevent Ascension if it eat Afterans.

BLAKE: On my count, there were a whopping five of them.

REMNANT ALLIANCE: (walla) Five?…Five of them?…Five Jabberwalkers?

SUN: Talk about overkill.

ELM: (after doing the multiplication math in her head) That’s gotta be over ninety teeth!

RUBY: And, according to the girls, Neo was possessed by the Cat, and she chose to accept Torchwick’s death and undergo her own Ascension. Oh, and Little ascended, too, into who we called Somewhat, and succeeded Jaune as the protector of the Ever After. By then, we had made it to the Tree by coming to terms with the truth, we’ll never be perfect, that even the most skilled Huntsmen and Huntresses have failed, and we walked through the door back home, landed inside the plane of the Tree, and met the Blacksmith again at her workshop. When we noticed two statues of the Brother Gods, she told us their backstory. That the Ever After was overfilled with plants and dangerous wildlife in its primordial years, but the Brothers were created to clear it out. Then they created the Afterans as well as the different acres for them to live in. They designed new creations that would replace them in maintaining the Ever After. This was how the Cat was created. They later created the Jabberwalker as a form of destruction. However, the two disagreed on whether it disrupted the balance or not and began to wage war.

OSCAR AND OZPIN: (both scoff) What else is new?

RUBY: The Blacksmith told us how balance isn’t supposed to be two opposing forces locked in battle; balance is an ecosystem, an organism, and a living thing, thus balance isn’t restored with force or manipulation, it’s restored naturally, requiring love and patience to see it through to the end. The Gods got to Remnant because the Ever After created a door to a “greater beyond” for them, so they can leave and experiment in creating new worlds as much as they like.

REN: Huh. So the Ever After came before Remnant.

NORA: (snickering) So the Tree basically said, “You think you have life sorted out? Then get out of my house”?

RUBY: Pretty much.

(Everyone laughs at the Brother Gods basically being “kicked out of the house” by their “mom”. Some Gods they are.)

YANG: Oh, my Gods, that’s such a hilarious way of looking at it. Thanks, Nora.

RUBY: Anyway, the Blacksmith told us that we impacted the Ever After significantly, just like Somewhat, Alyx, and Lewis, and that the Cat caused a bad impact. Then she de-aged Jaune, but let him keep his memories, which explains the white streak in his hair, and made us a portal in the desert on the outskirts of the city, and here we are.

(Ruby lets go of Robyn’s hand. The freedom fighter rejoins the rest of the Alliance.)

RUBY: So, I’m happy to announce that I’m not giving up the fight to save the world anytime soon! We’ve had a lot of ups and downs over the past two years, but we always pulled ourselves back together at the end of the day, and we won’t stop now! With global unity right at our fingertips and the ability to keep moving forward and accept our failures as things to learn from, we can stand up to Salem and her forces! And no longer will we be putting the entire burden of the world’s safety on one individual! My name is Ruby Rose, and I am a Huntress!

REMNANT ALLIANCE: (walla) Yes!…Great!…Alright!…Thank goodness!…Welcome back, Ruby!…Good to have you back, kid!…Way to go, Ruby!…That’s my girl!

YANG: We’re so proud of you, Ruby.

RUBY: Thanks, guys. You and your support mean the world to me. And I’m just as proud to call you guys family. All of you.

(Everyone looks at Ruby with warmed hearts.)

the way my heart STOPPED

[ruins-of-tragedy]

Began season three with episode one to four of RWBY... This is already scaring me. And nothing really bad has happened yet.

Season 03, Episode 01: Round One

- Good Gods. The animation and art has improved SO MUCH!!! THE LANDSCAPE LOOKS AMAZING!!!

- Ruby is at her mum's memorial plaque. Their father is here too?!

- "Being on a team with Yang helps. I keep her in line." 😂

- This is a good and wholesome way of summarising the events from before. I will give them that.

- Ozpin sounds like Uncle Qrow. Huh.

- Ruby's dad and ZWEI!!! Father be looking like a surfer dude.

- Tournament is about to begin... Team RWBY is already fighting!

- Professor Peter and Professor, no, Doctor Oobleck are the commentators! Be still, my shipper heart. 😆

- Vytal Festival, Team RWBY's on a close call with the team they be fighting against.

- The arena looks so gooooooood! Fire and ice.

- Amity Colosseum. I am aware that couldn't have been a reference to The Owl House. But this information is not going to stop me!!! 😂

- The arena is airing live! Pun intended. 😆

- Character design for the people watching from anywhere not in the flying UFO like thing... SO NOICE!

- Team RWBY of Beacon vs Team ABRN of Haven...

- Haven's team lady has a hover board!!! And is using it to fight?! 👏🏻

- Blake and Hoverboard lady. And of course the hoverboard can turn into guns. ✨

- Am glad they show someone falling on their arse while doing something cool. It happens more often in real life. Hopefully hoverboard lady can live it down.

- Yang vs Close Combat Person. The tremors from their battle can be felt throughout!

- The team has one another's back! So CUTTTTTEEEE!!!

- Ruby and Weiss are now BFFs!!! 💖. No matter how much Weiss may deny it.

- New song alert! It's GOOOOOOOOD!

- Weiss' glyphs can be used as trampolines?!?!! AGHHHHHHHHH!!! 🤯

- The hoverboard can absorb elements. Team ABRN is also a good team. Of course.

- One member of theirs down! Blake has big brain. But we already knew that.

- Team RWBY worked together to get the rest and won!!! 🥳. They did it!!!!

- And now hunnngyyy. Scratch that. Blake's stomach has turned into a lion. 😆

- Yang knows a place. Weiss' father was hung up on. Emerald stole Ruby's wallet.

- "Gahh, girl pockets are the worst!" Much agreement.

- Emerald is "Em." They are doing a great job of infiltration apparently.

- Emerald has other teammates?! Ahhh. It's just Cinder and Neo. They too have advanced.

- Mercury smelling the shoe at the appropriate moment. Things just work out sometimes. 😆

- Doubles round, Mercury and Emerald. Weiss and Yang from Team RWBY. Ooooooh!

- Emerald is having trouble being someone she is not. Team RWBY is happy all the time. The heiress and the bimbo... The fuck. You fucker. Fight me!!!

- Food time. From Dust to Dawn. And now a noodle shop owner. It's that guy!!!

- No, listen. Yang has a regular. And Blake nods at the guy and he brings her a bowl of fish that results in stars for her eyes, plus some very loud heartbeats over it... This means they have been here before. Considering how they are part of the same team, it's not too much of a leap to assume they would come... together. AGHHHHHHHHH!!!! 💖🫶🏻❤️‍🔥. Don't mind me. About to dive into AO3 for this now...

- It's Weiss' treat! Declined... Blake is planning to run away with her food. 😂. Such mood!

- Pyrrha, Blake's savoir!!! Team RWBY is fed and happy, while Weiss may be entering a food coma. Team JNPR has many varying reactions. Jaune might burst from the overload. Pyrrha is polite and full. Nora is happy and healthy, while Ren is asking if they should have eaten before a fight. No more Monty Oum's voice. 🥺

- Nora advises Jaune to aim his barf at the enemy. Ren thinks it's disgusting but if it does happen... I get why they are friends now. 😆✨

- Team JNPR is questioning their chances. Nora is providing valid defence about their shot at winning. Being Jaune is it's own quality. 😂. And now Nora is playing an even better devil's advocate... Ren and her are orphans? ...Whoa. Nora is hyperventilating so bad, she has literally lost all colour. Oooooof. Been there.

- Pyrrha has a good point; now they can fight with real guidelines and not murderers. 😂

- Ruby wants more when they graduate. Weiss is depressed about not being able to pay. Team JNPR receives an official invitation for their battle, because they late. 😆

- Nora is emotionally done. Jaune is physically done. Good Gods. What have they done to Team JNPR?!!?!

- Team RWBY has entered the arena. So have Emerald and Mercury. Yang saw them.

- Pan to the bad guy team. And they already know who will win?! Of course.

- Oh my Gods. Cinder's popcorn kernel popping in her fingers... Hot. Pun intended. 😆

- Team JNPR of Beacon vs Team BRNZ of Shade... There's a school called Shade?!? What do they teach them there? How to throw their school? 😂

- Ooooooh! The arena randomises it's elemental attributes and division after each match. For some reason this reminds me of Pokemon.

- Forest and mountains for this battle.

- Holy hell. I cannot stop focusing on the great work they have done. The end credits are beginning and holy shirtballs. It looks so GOOOOOOOOD!

- OH MY GODS. This song goes hard... "Maybe it's the pool of blood the innocents will lay in, when in the end you have failed to save them..." 😳

- Is Ren voiced by a relative of Monty Oum from now? Neath Oum is written among the names of voice actors for Team JNPR. That's amazing. 🫶🏻✨

- Beacon's going to get attacked?!?! There's monsters taking the school by storm...

- "Mirrors will shatter. Crushed by the weight of the world." As Ozpin and Glynda stare at said mirrors. Ironwood and his army is the world. OH MY GODS.

- Fucking Adam.

- New characters! Weiss is looking up to a lady. Is this Winter? She is her older sister, if I remember right.

- Yang and Ruby are with a man. This must be Qrow.

- Huh. Winter and Qrow are not on good terms. OOOOOOoooooooof.

- Qrow has red eyes?! And is that a picture of his team floating by? It has him, Ruby and Yang's father, Yang's mother and another lady with a white cape. Almost hidden. Huh. That must be Ruby's mum? She wore a similar thing back in season one's openings.

- Team RWBY and JNPR are holding hands while falling together. And then the latter's members stumble away in the air, leaving only RWBY. Oh no.

Season 03, Episode 02: New Challengers

- "Their dying eyes... are wide and white like snow."

- This season is going to kill me. ✨

- Team JNPR's match has begun. One of their opponents' team members ran in the opposite direction of them. Hmmm.

- Ooooooh! Sniper person. Jaune has good instincts. Retreat!

- Ren down. Nora is one of Port's favourite students. She can use charge to power her semblance. Truly Thor.

- LoLLL! The guy electrocuting her has been informed by Doctor Oobleck that Nora will now channel it against him to send him flying.

- Jaune truly is a good leader.

- This opponent team member is sending discs flying at Pyrrha and Jaune. That's a good tactic. Reminds me of a God I am aware of.

- Weiss is noting how far Jaune has come. Ugh. Being platonic friends suits them well!

- I agree with Yang though. He has got nothing on Pyrrha. Who is now taking on two guys at once. ❤️‍🔥

- Ren doing the Naruto ninja run is a prophecy fulfilled. ✨😆

- Oh my Gods. Team JNPR working together so Nora remains unarmed and can use the thunder on top of a mountain... 🫶🏻🥹🤌🏻. Such coordination and support.

- Jaune wants to use team attacks. His team don't know what Flower Power is.

- Ren being the flower and Nora being the power. Okie, that's cooool, not going to lie.

- "So, what are we?" / "Sorry! I just want to make sure it's clearly defined." -Pyrrha Nikos. HOLY SHIRTBALLS. 👏🏻😂❤️‍🔥💯

- Jaune and Pyrrha are Arkos. Awwwwwwwww! Now am just imagining Jaune scribbling their names together to come up with it. CUTTTE! 💖

- Pyrrha may not like the shipname, but I am sure she likes the person who created it.

- The opponent team has gotten up and seems flabbergasted over how JNPR is bantering now. Good Gods... These idiots. I love them so much. 🫶🏻

- "Trying to have a team meeting. Thank you very little!" 😂

- Jaune wants to see it through. He has gotten them crazy eyes. Awwwwww!!! Doesn't want their conversation interrupted. 💖

- One hit of Nora's hammer is all they need. Team JNPR has won! "By knockout. Literally." 😆

- Now we see a Crow Bar. Where lies Qrow. Drinking and perhaps in his natural habitat?

- He don't care for tournaments?

- Team NDGO vs SSSN. The latter is Sun's team. And yup. They are the boyband version of RWBY, it seems. One girl literally has a picture of just Sun's abs and has drawn a heart over them.

- Weiss is rooting for Neptune from the stands. Neptune tries to turn on the charm for the team in front, Weiss has changed sides. YASSSSSSSS!!! 😂

- Oh my Gods. Neptune really thinks he is ALL THAT. I want his unwarranted confidence.

- Desert and the ocean arena. Neptune's afraid of water. Ooooooof.

- He ran off to the barren lands. His teammates are confused. LoLLL.

- Listen. I am rooting for NDGO. I can't not. They look like Disney Princesses. And dress so COOOL. Go ladies!!!

- One SSSN member down. YAYYYYYY!

- Ugh. Three on three now.

- This girl with the hair I want is dressed like a pirate and has a crossbow that can turn into a sword. ✨🤯

- Scarlet got hit in the nuts by some projectile of coconuts. I cannot make this up. 😂.

- Sun, in reaction, said, "Ah, nuts." 👏🏻

- Neptune is extremely afraid. Trying to help from afar his only teammate left. But now needs to get to Sun.

- Salt water is a good conductor of electricity. Bromance be real. Team SSSN wins.

- I am a little sad. But at least this was entertaining.

- Doctor Oobleck called that victory shocking. 😂

- Peter dubs it well earned. Of course. I feel like punching a man-child right now.

- "What you said is stupid." Port should declare that to himself. Not someone like Oobleck. Forker.

- Qrow called this a mess. Inclined to agree.

- He be also here for a fight. Which involves a flying machine.

- The bartender's "Aww. Gee, darn it," got me. Not going to lie. Such serious music in the background and he says that. 😆

- "...the dorks made it to the next round." -Yang

- They are still dancing in the arena. Really a boy band.

- Sun shot some finger guns at Blake. She blushed.

- Yang wants to go congratulate them. Such a good wingwoman. Sun should return the favour. 😉

- Big ship Qrow needs to fight has Weiss' sister? Weiss looks so happy about the particular machine being there though! Love that!

- Team JNPR'S opponent team members' character art. Looks so GOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD!!!

- The arena as well. NOICE sketches! Music makes me want to move along and rock!

Season 03, Episode 03: It's Brawl in the Family

- "And now they know the cost of trusting you's obliteration."

- Weiss and Ruby are running. For a change, Weiss is the one with more energy. CUTTTTTEEEE!

- "Winter is coming." -Jon Snow, and probably Weiss at one point in her life. 😂

- Did she curtsy? Oh my Gods. Ruby is in her natural state, Weiss just punched her dolt.

- And I thought Weiss was tightly wound... Team RWBY's victory could have been better according to Winter, who be a regal queen it looks like, and Weiss wants to impress her so bad. 🥺

- "Silence, you boob." -Winter, after smacking Weiss on the head.

- Awwwwwwwww! Winter does care. Me like her. Weiss considers Ruby her friend. Ruby is grinning about Weiss being called boob.

- Winter Schnee doesn't seem impressed.

- "I wish to thank you for taking an interest in my sister." -Winter. Why does this sound like Ruby asked if she could court Weiss?!?!?

- I have a feeling Team RWBY's living "quarters" might not be up to Winter's "personal standards."

- "...the bunk beds only look unstable." -Weiss. 😂. I actually needed the clarification too, not going to lie. So thanks for that!

- Oh my Gods. Blake and Yang's bunk beds are held up by books. What if Blake wants to read one of them that's being used?!?!?!!! Holy hell. I hope they have eBook facilities in their scrolls.

- Ruby is trying her best to be fancy. Awwwwwww!

- Is Qrow following Winter and Weiss? The camera movements look drunk... Yup.

- Commendable though. He was able to take out the robos even while inebriated.

- Weiss has become so used to people calling her the Ice Queen, she assumes Qrow is referring to her... 😆

- From Qrow to crow. The camera movements in here are cracking me up. 😂

- Winter and this guy definitely have old baggage to take care of... Good Gods. They are about to fight in the streets. I can already see the PR team rampaging around to keep this one in.

- WHOA. Winter be fast. Qrow is good. Did the entire Schnee family practice gymnastics as kids?

- They are equally matched. Ruby is here. Weiss is telling her about the crazy guy, and the former screams it's her uncle... The fruity version of Romeo and Juliet anyone? ✨

- "KICK HER BUTT, UNCLE QROW!" / "Teach him respect, Winter!" Just fall in love already WhiteRose.

- Mercury has now entered the chat. And left as soon as he got there.

- Winter landed a hit! Qrow smiled like crazy over it. (That rhymes!) They are giving the world a great show. I am enjoying this more than you can know. 😁

- Winter's sword can turn into two different ones?!?!?? ✨🤯🤌🏻

- Aura doves? NOICE!

- Holy hell. Qrow really be taunting Winter by not even bothering to use his weapon for her upcoming special move...

- Ohhhhhh. I guess he saw Ironwood coming. Winter has excellent control though. She stopped mere inches away from Qrow's throat. This man also seems to have nerves of steel. 👏🏻

- Ironwood has Penny behind him?!

- Qrow really got Ironwood beginning to fumble and make excuses. Huh.

- Enter Ozpin and Glynda.

- Awwwwwwwww! Penny waved at Ruby and Weiss. CUTTTTTEEEE!!!

- Ruby getting to be a kid with Qrow. AGHHHHHH!!!! Adorable.

- I wonder how many times Glynda has had to repair the entire city now... She is the antidote to Theseus' ship. 😂

- Ozpin wants to talk to Qrow. Ruby makes better sense to Weiss now. Am glad they are not letting it all come between them!

- Grown up talking. At least Qrow is fun. Even Ozpin can't with him. I love this guy.

- Qrow don't want Winter around. She has now left. Ironwood is her boss?!?! Fucking hell.

- I like Winter.

- Who is Autumn?

- Oh my Gods. The headmasters of the main four lands, and this dumb General. They are fighting something bigger. Hmmm. Makes sense.

- Ironwood is still young. And a little too dense somehow. His heart may be in the right place, but... Showmanship ain't going to win wars, according to Qrow. I am bound to agree. Time and place.

- Oh no. The queen chess symbol on Ironwood's scroll. Things are about to get much worse.

- They need to find a guardian. It's Ruby, isn't it.

- Cinder has been informed of Qrow.

- "...smelled like my dad after a long day." -Mercury. Good Gods.

- Cinder shouldn't look so good. Penny is in the doubles round!

- Oh no. Cinder is now controlling who will fight who. Yup. This will be so bad.

- Emerald and Mercury vs two members of Team CFVY. The handbag lady from it is called Coco... With a name like that, being a part of her team was destiny. 😆

- Coco Adel and Yatsuhashi Daichi. Hmmm. Need to figure out their allusions. I only know one Diachi. He was part of Haikyuu!!!

- Cinder smirked. I died.

- GOOOOOOOD GOLLLY. Winter's sketch looks so freaking fantastic. So does the ship. The music is making me want to chase down my fate. Oooooh! Qrow sketches are here as well. And Ironwood sketch. Now Cinder... This seems like a personal attack to me. Oh my Gods.

Season 03, Episode 04: Lessons Learned

- "The pillars collapse in shame..."

- Emerald and Mercury of Haven vs Coco and Yatsuhashi of Beacon.

- OOOOOOooooooooh! Four arenas now.

- Plateau, city, river body with rocks and forest. Much banter.

- Coco is also a trendsetter. I can see it.

- The voice acting for Scarlet sounds like someone is trying to be extremely pretentious. Me likey! What accent is that?

- Mercury can shoot light blasts with his feet?! Cooool.

- This fight is getting so GOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD!!! But going bad for Coco and Daichi.

- Coco's glasses broke. She don't like Emerald anymore. 😆

- Emerald lady is not only Aladdin, but also Abu. 👏🏻

- Her semblance allows her to shapeshift?! Oh no.

- Truly an upset. Team CFVY's members lost.

- Winter is already leaving? She has a way of making Weiss feeling bad about herself, but then good by actually caring and meaning it. Doesn't mince words. I like her. She good. And extremely beautiful.

- So Weiss came to Beacon against their father's will. Hmmm.

- The Schnee family is hereditary? And the rest don't share similar talents? Ooooooh!

- Time dilation and summoning. I still can't make sense of the former. Winter is a good sister though.

- Good GODS. Did this woman just make a light Grimm??!?!!?!! I am in love, mayhaps.

- Not only is Winter good at fighting, she looks amazing in general, means what she says, genuinely cares not only about her sibling's development but also her, gives great advise without being over bearing and is trying her best. 💖

- From Weiss and Winter to Ruby and Qrow. The latter pair is playing video games. The juxtaposition of it all... 👏🏻😆

- Ruby lost. Yang's turn now!

- Oh my GODS. The art they are using for Qrow's story about his last mission... 🤯🤌🏻

- Qrow defeated Yang while also telling a funny anecdote. LoLLL! Nice. Yang isn't impressed though.

- "But they don't give out medals for almost." -Qrow.

- "They do and they are called silver!" -Ruby. Her having silver eyes... Am probably reading too much into it. Point though! Especially since it's honouring an attempt. Those are important too.

- Qrow raises some good issues as well. No crime at all... Alarm bells a ringing.

- Team STRQ. Yang was looking at her mother until her uncle covered her head with his thumb. Intentional?

- Wait. Did Yang know about her mum being a part of her dad and uncle's team?

- It's pretty sweet though, that he has the picture on him and still carries it around.

- Warning about the real world vs school. Much ominous caution, with encouragement and hope. Keep it real, essentially.

- Schnee training session! ...Winter really knows what buttons to push for Weiss.

- I love Winter. She is good.

- "It was really good to see you Winter." -Weiss Schnee. I agree. I agree. I agree.

- This song... I like the almost soothing quality of it. Awwwwwwwww! Winter looked back for a second at Weiss as they parted.

- OOOOOOooooooooh! Weiss is getting there. A small sword projection! CUTTTTTE!

- IT'S MIRROR MIRROR'S ACOUSTIC VERSION!!! 🫶🏻

- So basically this was the learning from our elders, who don't get along but are actually good at their jobs and in general too, episode. Team RWBY has the best of both worlds, in a way. YAYYYYYY!

- End credits song is making me want to headbang along! Ooooooh! The arena sketch. Nice.

- Mercury's character design! He could have had different hair? Emerald's turn! Somehow they look better in the initial sketches. Or maybe I just have a weakness for this particular style. Light Grimm.

(You spoil me, I spoil your day with unnecessary emotional unloading. Au Revoir!)

“Beacon Academy”

Jaune (Vol 8): Hey… guys.

RWBY: …

NPR: …

Port: …

Jaune: Um.

Port: Apologies Mr. Arc, but with this new look of yours it’s difficult not to stare.

Jaune: Yeah… well, I don’t even know where to start.

Jaune: Yeah I cut my hair and grew a little bit.

Port: Well I believe it, I could hardly recognize you when you walked in.

Port: You definitely look the part of a huntsmen if I do say so.

Port: Ozpin has informed me that you will be doing some kind of work for him, correct?

Jaune: Yeah, I’ll try to participate in class as much as I can but I’m gonna have to rely on my team to do certain assignments and missions without me.

Jaune: I’m really sorry you guys.

Pyrrha: There’s no need to apologize Jaune.

Pyrrha: Right you two?

Ren: Of course.

Nora: It’s alright Fearless Leader we’re happy to have you back.

Jaune: Thank you.

Jaune (Internally): As long as I’m here, I’ll make sure nobody dies this time.

Jaune: I promise you all I’ll keep trying my best.

“Girls Locker Room”

Yang: So what do you all think of Vomit Boy’s new look?

Weiss: I approve but barley.

Ruby: I’m sure I can get used to it, so yeah.

Pyrrha (Internally): Yes, yes, and YES!

Pyrrha (Internally): He looks so fresh and handsome.

Swimming Instructor

Jaune: Haa.. remedial swimming lessons?

Jaune: I don't need swimming lessons, I know how to swim! Nora, just doesn't need to push me into the water while I'm carrying all the heavy stuff for laughs!

Jaune: Haa... whatever. These lessons could help me to learn how to swim with my armour on anyway... Let's do this.

Jaune: Hello? I'm here for remedial swimming lessons. Anyone here?

: Oh? You're that, Jaune fellow! Porty told me you were coming here for lessons!

Jaune: Hmm...? Oh there you...

Jaune: A-Are...

: Hi! My name is Raven Branwen! I may not look like it, but I'm your fellow classmate, Yang Xiao Long's mother!

Jaune: R-Really...?

Raven: Yeah... she may not look like it, but she is. She took more from her father, my late husband than me.

Jaune: He probably took his hair, and eyes... but she certainly got your assets...

Raven: So, while I'm normally a sub in for, Glynda when she needs a substitute in combat class, I also double as a swimming instructor. So, Porty said you almost drowned, can't you swim?

Jaune: Swim...?

Raven: Yeah, swim?

Jaune: Oh, sorry... Y-Yeah I can swim... I was carrying some heavy stuff... a-and, my teammate knocked me into the water.

Raven: Ahh.

Jaune: B-But, I wear plate armour... I think I could use some swimming lessons on how to swim with that on...

Raven: Ahh, I can teach you how to swim with armour on. It's difficult, but we can do it!

Jaune: Not as difficult as getting under that delectable one piece of yours...

Raven: Oh~? That may not be as hard as you think~!

Jaune: Ahh?! Oh fuck, you heard me?!

Raven: I did, and don't worry: I always preferred hunky young blonds~!

Jaune Uhhuhhuhh?!

Raven: So come on sexy~! Show me what you got~!

Jaune: Yes ma'am!

~~~

This would have been a good, Beach AU photo. But she doesn't fit any character well enough.

But, she works to a point. Can you keep an eye out for more, Beach Au worthy art for me, @lar-mx ?

Ruby: (Next to her mom) And Ruby~!

Marrow: HEY, FUCK YOU!

After a meeting with the white fang leader

Ozpin: Now gentleman... Has i like to think, in the long history of the world, that there are only a few generations-

Port: Sounds like someone's breaking in!

Ozpin: It's just the storm Leo, sit down...

Grimm: *breaking the window of the conference room with a roar*

Port: *dramatically jumps out of his seat* OH MY GOD!

Glynda: *putting herself in front of Ozpin, keeping calm* It appears the academy has been breached.

Ozpin: *placing his hand on her shoulder* Grimm. Gentleman; in times like these, our capacity to retaliate must be and has to be massive, to deter all forms of aggression. *Turn around, hitting a switch revealing an arsenal of weapons* Gentlemen, *turn around, nodding* lock and load.

Everyone: *get their weapons*

Sienna: Viva la revolucion!

_ _ _

Port: Any last words, Mister Ozpin?

Glynda: Yes Port?

Port: Any superlative words of inspiration for our humble troops?

Ozpin: Do not pray for easy lives my friends, pray to be... Stronger men.

[rwby-encrusted-blog]

~After the first Fight with Roman~

Glynda: Well I hope you've learned a lesson here today.

Ruby: Taht shooting things is fun AND useful!

Ruby: Is this where I get speech and learn another lesson?

Ozpin: No. Here's your schedule for Beacon. Let us Never speak of this again.

Port: HEY! IS YOUR NAME JOEY!

Ruby: No, It's Ruby!

Port: If you Don't hurry up, I'm gonna call you Slowy Joey!

Ruby: But that's not my name?
