#Jaune Arc

[notmaplemable]

Qrow: So, that blond kid.

Taiyang: What are you two?

Wolf Ruby: What do you mean?

Taiyang: I mean, what are you to him?

Ruby: Oh, I'm his bitch!

Qrow: ...

Taiyang: ...

Jaune: *Started running the nanosecond this conversation started*

[davidellisartworkstuff]

Weiss: Pyrrha does this thing where she loudly exclaims "mwah" when she kisses Jaune, and it's super annoying... ly cute.

Yang: It's fascinating really, like a wildlife documentary. The wild Nikos alerting everyone that this is her mate.

Blake giggling: I think it's cute.

Ruby: Oh look they're meeting for their date!

*Across the courtyard.*

Jaune: Hey Pyr!

Pyrrha: Hello again! *Cups his cheeks and kisses him.* Mmmmmmmmwah!

RWBY: Awwww!

Pyrrha and Jaune whipping their heads around: What the?

*RWBY quickly hiding behind newspapers, Ruby hiding under a table, her cape like a tablecloth.*

Jaune: Huh. Weird. Anyway, ready to see the movie?

Pyrrha: I most certainly am my love. *Kisses him again.* Mmmmmmmwah!

RWBY in hiding still: Awwww!

Pyrrha: What is that, are we on a jumbotron?!

[howlingday]

Jaune: Mm... I think I outdid myself this time.

Ruby: Hey, Ja- (Gasps) Are those cookies?!

Jaune: Yup! Old family recipe~. Want one?

Ruby: Heck yeah! (Bites one) BLECH! What the hell is this?! This isn't chocolate chip!

Jaune: Nope! It's oatmeal raisin.

Jaune: IT'S BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE CHIP.

Ruby: ...

Ruby: (Inhale)

Ruby: (Violently leaps at Jaune)

THUS BEGAN THE ROSE-ARC BLOOD FEUD

[brokentrafficknight]

Yang: You guys wanna go get some d-e-s-s-e-r-t?

Ruby: Yeah dude! I need me a t-r-e-a-t?

Dog!Jaune: What're you guys talkin' about?

Blake: Yeah why did you guys just spell desser-

Ruby: Shut up don't say it!

Yang: Shh!

Blake: Uh, why?

Ruby: Oh God. How do we tell you this?

Yang: Jaune... Can't spell.

Blake: ...What?

Ruby: He can't spell. So when we talk about something he wants we spell it out loud so he doesn't get too excited.

Blake: He's a grown man! He can't handle hearing the word 'treat'?

Jaune, tail wagging: Treat?

Yang: No treat!

Jaune: Treat?

Yang: No treat!

Jaune: Treat?

Yang: No treat!

Jaune, ears drooping: Awww...

Blake: Okay, what is happening?

Yang: We told you! He gets excited when he hears the word t-r-e-a-t.

Jaune: Whatcha talkin' about?

Yang: Taxes

Jaune: Aw shucks!

Blake: So you guys just treat him like a toddler?

Jaune: Treat?

Ruby: No treat!

Jaune: Treat?

Ruby: No treat!

Jaune: Awwww...

Ruby: Dude, you gotta spell if you're talking about f-o-o-d.

Blake: Okay, so... Are we getting an s-n-a-c-k?

Jaune: Snack?

Ruby: Oh come on.

Yang: Dude, really?

Blake: Oh come on. I spelled it!

Ruby: Well he knows how to spell snack.

Blake: So he can spell snack, but he can't spell treat?

Jaune: Treat?

Blake: No treat!

Jaune: Treat?

Blake: No treat!

Jaune: Treat?

Blake: NO TREAT!

Jaune: God dammit!

Yang: Okay, he's getting fussy. Time for an n-a-p.

Jaune: Yeah!

Blake: What does n-a-p spell?

Jaune: Party!

[wu-sisyphus-gang]

Weiss: Hey Jaune you know what would make my dad real mad?

Jaune: What?

Weiss: If you fucked me on his desk.

Jaune:

Weiss:

Willow: *watching from the camera*

Jaune: Hey I think I hear Nora calling me.

[leorobotsworld]

Ruby: *rambling about weapons*

Jaune: *smiling*

Ruby: *realizes* I'm talking too much, sorry, I'll shut up

Jaune: *dead serious* DO NOT.

Ruby: *smiling while talking again*

[obligatoryjauneblog]

Cinder, about to give a redemptive sacrifice: You think I'll see Pyrrha when I die?

Jaune: What like, in heaven? Because *holding back a laugh* no.

Cinder: Okay, fuck you... but.. fair.

Vacuan Nights, Like Vacuan Days

They’re just so great together! I’d love for Jaune and Weiss to get a little downtime in Vacuo to live out a moment like this. They really deserve it, and I’d love to see Jaune’s guitar make a reappearance.

The comic here was inspired by u/Silverstar1243’s excellent piece of art, A Serenade Under the Moonlight. Send some love to them on their twitter, commission some art if you’re willing and able, they’ve made some great stuff.

You folks may have noticed I threw in a couple of references for those in the know; the Golden Oreos behind Yang (double stuffed, I might add) for the trio’s ship, Weiss liking it rough for Mallobaude’s great fic, and of course I made a whole theme around the Arabian Nights Disney song. A song, along with its Aladdin compatriots, which I spent the better part of a day finding covers for just to listen to on repeat while I worked.

This one’s now officially my longest comic project, with 14 panels, two over the past record since I added the White Knight kiss at the end. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Not sure I’d say it was more difficult than my Vanity of Vanities post, but for this one I actually knew how to use my editing software going into it (at least somewhat).

Put a lot of work into this one, been working on it on and off since February. Took a few breaks for vacation, to make my memorial post for Rooster Teeth, and another five meme edits or so, but I came back around to it. First half was pretty easy, relatively minor edits inserting characters into scenes and so on. The second half with Jaune and Weiss was tougher though, with color correcting, merging poses, redrawing features, drawing Jaune’s entire head to fix some lighting issues, etc. Really like how the edit to make Jaune strum his guitar turned out.

The time it took to make the whole comic got me down a little, until I did a bit of math. Including my side projects since starting this, all the scripting and editing and all, I’ve been pumping out a panel every two days. That seems pretty good to me, that kind of accomplishment makes me a little proud of myself.

Really need to get around to watching the second part of the Justice League Crossover movies. It’s got a few Vacuo scenes that might make things a little more authentic instead of me just using Saphron’s house and pretending it’s a suite in Vacuo. I do love taking yet more character stills from Jaune and friends experiencing deep trauma and turning it into something positive, been making that a bit of a personal habit. And I’ve got to say, the background for Jaune and Weiss’ scene is really beautiful, pulled it from when Sun and Neptune hear Ruby’s message about Salem. That’s just a really good shot all on its own, I even saved a copy for my computer’s wallpaper after editing out the two.

Posting a big RWBY White Knight edit, watching not one but two RWBY Beyond episodes, and all on the trail of the news that RWBY’s found partners that they’re negotiating with and that the creative team is expected to stay on. And I'm sipping bubble tea. Life is good.

Anyway, pardon the long write up. I’m invested in this one, and am quite pleased with how the comic turned out. I hope you all get a kick out of it as well!

How Pyrrha Unwinds

Pyrrha: …well…it’s been lovely, and thank you for having me on your show…! 😅

Pyrrha: *ends video call and slumps into her favorite comfy chair* 😮‍💨

Ren: Wow, that interview was really…something…

Nora: That host was a smug asshole! I wanted to jump through the screen and smack him! I don’t know how you stay so polite, Pyrrha!

Pyrrha: No…no…it’s fine…! He’s just doing his job!

Ren: *puts a hand on Pyrrha’s* Pyrrha, we’ve talked about this. You don’t have to pretend things are all right when they aren’t.

Pyrrha: 😣

Pyrrha: You’re right…! I hate doing these interviews with all their rude personal questions and I hate the constant expectation that I act perfectly every day because there’s always a camera! 😫

Nora: *wraps Pyrrha in a hug* Don’t worry, Pyrrha! We’re here to help! And so is Jaune when he gets back from his trip!

Pyrrha: *slumps* Thank you, Nora…it already helps to have real friends like you and Ren…

Pyrrha: I’m just feeling extra stressed right now because Jaune is out of town. He does this thing that makes me feel like I can be myself and forget all about being a celebrity!

Ren: Maybe we can help? What does Jaune do?

————————————————————

Pyrrha: *exhausted after long day* 😞

Jaune: *carefully undoes Pyrrha’s armor* You know, you had the cutest laugh when you watched that kitten video earlier.

Pyrrha: *standing limp as Jaune undresses her* I do not. I laughed so hard I snorted…!

Jaune: *puts Pyrrha’s armor away and undoes her ponytail* It’s cute! And you also have a great sense of humor!

Pyrrha: *sighs as her hair is let down* You’re just saying that… 😮‍💨

Jaune: *takes off Pyrrha’s circlet and undoes her corset laces* And you’re totally badass. 😌

Pyrrha: *closes her eyes and leans into him* Noooooo…

Jaune: *kisses Pyrrha’s forehead while shrugging off his clothes down to his underwear* Yeah-huh! You looked super cool yesterday when you deployed your shield and spear without breaking stride!

Pyrrha: *slumps against Jaune in her underwear* Mmmmm…

Jaune: *turns on fan and pulls Pyrrha down on comfy couch*

Pyrrha: *nuzzles and wraps herself around Jaune, reveling in the intimacy, warmth, and soft skin contact on her nose and forehead* 🥰

Jaune/Pyrrha: *cuddle up in a tangle of limbs for a nap* 😴

————————————————————

Nora/Ren: *sitting alongside Pyrrha with their arms around her*

Pyrrha: …thank you both, but it’s just not the same…😞

[notmaplemable]

Wolf Ruby: Nothing is going right.

Jaune: Maybe this will help. *starts giving Ruby head pats*

Ruby: Not even that helps anymore.

Jaune: *Stops*

Ruby: I didnt say to stop.

[spahhzy]

Neo: 'Have you been talking to my boyfriend?'

Jaune waves in the background.

Yang: I haven't been talking to your boyfriend...

Neo: ...

Yang: Your boyfriend been talking to me!

Neo: 'Excuse me!? Why would he be talking to you? You look like a mess! '

Yang: And you look like you're balding with that missing hairline!

Jaune looks on nervously.

Jaune stares blankly out into space.

Jaune: All i did was ask Yang for a pencil...

Neo: The only thing missing is 'your mom', and that is why you're such a homewrecker!

Jaune: Well, that will do it.

Yang: *enraged* hiyah!

[howlingday]

Adrian: Uncle Jaune~!

Jaune: Adrian? You came to the festival, too?

Adrian: Uh-huh! And I got meat sticks and played a shooting game and I even talked to the fortune teller guy!

Jaune: Fortune teller guy? Wait, you mean Professor Ozpin?

Adrian: Uh-huh! And he said he knew you! He said you were, uh... You're a man... A manly... something...

Jaune: Heh. He's just a weird guy. Don't worry about what he said-

Adrian: MAN-WHORE!

RWBYJNPR: !

Adrian: He said you were one big man-whore, Uncle Jaune!

Twins Au: The Revelation

Presenting my addition to @pilot-boi's Twins AU. This was a section that they already wrote about but I wanted to turn it into a full piece.

Enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There it was again. The faint sting that haunted her since childhood. This time it was on the left side of her face, across her cheekbone. Along with the pain, Yang felt a slight anger build up inside.

Why? Why was she angry?

Was it because of this phantom pain that’s followed her for all these years? Or was this even anger, was it just frustration?

Leaving the Public Relations elective, she chose at the recommendation of Professor Goodwitch and her team, Yang made her away, alongside her partner, Blake Belladonna, to the cafeteria. While it was a useful class, and one that she had openly admitted to needing, one con she faced daily was the journey across the Beacon campus to the lunchroom. Mentally she was praying that Ruby, or their sister team, JNPR had found a place for both teams to enjoy their food.

“-ng. Yang.”

Yang snapped out of a daze she didn’t even realize she was in. She turned and saw Blake with a concerned expression.

“Everything ok?”

“Yeah.” Yang replied, rubbing her cheek. “That stinging pain came back.”

“Ruby mentioned that it’s been with you a while, is it related to your semblance?”

“I doubt it,” Yang sighed, looking forward again. “I’ve felt it even BEFORE dad unlocked my aura. Originally, I thought it was growing pains, but now it HAS to be something else.”

The pair rounded a corner into the main hallway of Beacon. Students were still flowing out of classrooms, signalling to the pair that they still had time before the lunch line closed.

“You might want to consider checking in with Beacon’s aura specialist.” Blake suggested. “Like you said, you had this before you had your aura unlocked. It isn’t that far-fetched to say that those were actual growing pains. This could be something related to your aura or even your semblance.”

“How could this be attached to my semblance?”

“I’d recommend going to the specialist to get a better understanding, but from what I remember, semblances can evolve, by either adding onto or changing how they behave.”

Yang stayed silent, considering that option. It never crossed her mind that it could actually be aura or semblance related. Anytime it was mentioned, it was dismissed due to the pains she felt when she was aura less.

Yang winced again. The pain struck her right hip. Determination was soon mixed in with the previous frustration.

“There it is again,” Yang shot out. “It’s like I’m getting slammed in a brawl.”

“Do you want to head to the infirmary? I could grab you some food?”

“I might go after lunch. The pains don’t usually last long anyway.”

The two were closing in on the entrance to the Beacon cafeteria, when they started to hear a roar and saw other students rush in. The pair looked at each other and followed suit.

Pushing through the crowd, Yang spotted Ruby, and vaguely heard her yell something towards the spectacle. Making her way over she saw what, or rather who, was at the center of attention.

It was Jaune and Cardin.

Of course it was. Conflict followed those two like bad luck to her uncle.

Off to the side of the semi-circle sat the rabbit faunus that Cardin and his lackey’s routinely tormented, Velvet, Yang remembered.

“Vomit boy finally snapped huh?” Yang asked her sister.

“Yeah, although Cardin’s landed a couple hits on Jaune.” Ruby answered, before cupping her hands around her mouth. “KICK HIS BUTT JAUNE!”

“ARC YOU BETTER NOT LOSE!”, came an authoritative voice from beside Ruby. Yang looked over her sister, and saw the Ice Queen herself, hands acting as a megaphone around her own mouth.

Noticing the new arrivals, she dropped her hands, and turned to face them.

“Just because I keep rejecting him, doesn’t mean I want him to lose. Especially to Cardin of all people.”

“What ever you say Weiss.”

Weiss stomped and pouted, causing the blonde to snicker. Yang was pulled from her laughter when Ruby grabbed her and pointed back at the brawl.

“Yang… Look at Jaune.” Came an almost whisper from her sister, as Yang followed her gesture.

Taking a proper gaze at Jaune it was plain to see he was getting his ass handed to him, and someone, either from his team or outside, would need to help him. But that’s not what caught her attention, nor was it what caused the siblings to freeze.

Jaune’s face was bruised, and by the looks of it, Cardin landed a hit on the left side of Jaune's face, judging by the discolouration. Yang raised her hand to touch her cheekbone and pressed on it. The knight winced and Yang pulled away, before following Ruby’s finger and the air escaped her lungs.

It was his eyes.

The ocean blue eyes that both teams were used to, were no longer there.

They were filled with determination, rage, and confusion. Confused as to how someone could hate another based off their race, especially at an institution where they were learning to fight creatures of darkness. Rage at the injustice performed against a classmate and a soon to be comrade in arms. Determination to live up to his family’s heroic legacy, and end the injustice brought on by a fellow classmate.

The ocean blue eyes of Jaune’s kindness, dorkiness, and goofball appearance was replaced by those of fiery passion, to aid in his ability to fight for what’s right.

His eyes…

His eyes…

His... eyes…

His... eyes...

Had turned red.

Not just any red.

HER red. The red of a Branwen.

[wu-sisyphus-gang]

Ruby: Jaune unironically called me a good girl and... I think you guys were right. Sploosh.
