#and Infinite's arc

[uselesstaroth]

IDW's habit of dropping half pages that let me read way too deep into a character is a habit that exists

It's a good habit.

It's bad for me.

Also

Good face.

page 28

Fig: So?

page 29

Riz: Yeah. - Yeah! - let's make another one.

[anthurak]

So latest in the long line of ways that Jaune represents a massive, brutal and scathing subversion of so many typical shounen/fantasy-hero protagonist tropes that a sizable chunk of the fandom seems to have ENTIRELY missed the memo on, let’s talk about his time at Beacon.

Specifically, how we see Jaune struggle so much in classes and seemingly has to put in much more work and training than his peers.

Now this is a pretty standard ‘main character’ trope in so many fantasy adventure school stories. The idea that the hero works so much harder than all of his peers because they’re all elitists who were ‘handed’ everything while our plucky underdog hero has to get by on gumption and good work ethic (and also plot armor, higher-power favoritism and narrative cheat codes but they don’t like it when you say that out loud). And on the surface, like so many other things in RWBY, it might seem at first like Jaune’s story is playing that trope straight.

But of course if we actually THINK about Jaune’s situation for a second, it becomes clear that the context of his situation actually represents a pretty scathing takedown of this trope.

The reason why Jaune seemingly has to work so much harder than all his peers in the present is because all those peers ALREADY DID all that hard work and training before they even came to Beacon. The same hard work and training that Jaune DIDN’T do because he thought he could proverbially ‘skip the line’ and CHEAT his way into Beacon.

Ruby, Yang, Blake, even resident rich-kid Weiss, they ALL put in YEARS of work and training to become huntresses. EVERYONE at Beacon did.

Everyone except Jaune.

He seems to have never even so much as attended a combat school, and NOTHING we’ve seen or heard indicates that he otherwise wanted to and was prevented by his family or some other factor. Instead, he clearly seems to have thought that he could just skip all of that and just cheat his way into Beacon.

Really, the fact that Jaune got as far as he did thanks just as much if not more so to having friends who would help and cover for him, as well as him lucking out and having a particularly naturally large aura reserves, rather than any kind of hard work he put in. And with ALL of that, he’s still only has basic ability as a fighter and is FAR more effective at simply supporting his friends and allies.

If anything, it does in fact show that Jaune had some pretty impressive potential.

Potential that he completely SQUANDERED.

Imagine if Jaune HAD actually attended a combat school. Actually put in all the same years of work, training and effort that all his peers did. Learned how to be a fighter, trained his aura and unlocked his semblance. Think about where he would have been at the start of the series when arriving at Beacon.

Jaune would almost certainly be on the same level as Ruby, Weiss and the rest. Hell, he might even have been on a similar level to Pyrrha, albeit most likely with very different strengths. Given his semblance, Jaune was always going to be a support-focused fighter. Still, he would still have been one of THE most capable support huntsmen of his year.

But Jaune DIDN’T do any of that. Instead he was forced to effectively burn through all of his potential just playing catchup to all his peers. Having to cram years’ worth of training into a scant few months. Which in turn has left his abilities invariably stunted and lagging behind everyone else.

All of this through no one’s fault but his own.

Unlike what I imagine is literally EVERY OTHER ‘underdog’ at a fantasy adventure school, Jaune being this ‘underdog’ who has to play catchup to all his peers is one hundred percent HIS OWN DAMN FAULT.

Which of course all makes Jaune a FAR more complex and interesting character than 99.999% of the typical fantasy-protag characters who play this trope ‘straight’.

"This place isn't Hell"

[momentomori24]

I may just be insane about this but does this feel like foreshadowing to anyone else. In this scene we see her trying to replicate the skill of someone else (her mother) and failing to achieve the same results that they would. That feels really specific and it's driving me insane.

Like, we see this come back again in the aftermath of the trial. Diana has repeatedly voiced her admiration for Wolfgang's ability to speak and inspire those around him in the darkest of times, saying she wished she could do the same. We see her pour her heart out and give her own speech to inspire the others-- except the reaction that she receives is cold and miserable, far from the newly kindled warmth and hope Wolfgang was able to create every time.

Diana is a chameleon. Her whole thing is to reflect, to replicate and to adapt. Do you think that this small scene where she tries to make a butterfly out of her hairclips-- a butterfly, an animal associated with transformation and change-- and the end result looking nothing like what she wanted it to be is a metaphor for her future character arc? She has declared that she wants to follow in Wolfgang's footsteps, wants to become something new, but do you think that by the end she ends up being the furthest thing from him? Do you think that by the end she will be left distorted, fundamentally wrong? Do you think that if she could see what she will become in the future, the only emotion that she can muster is horror as she gazes at a stranger that's supposed to be herself? That by the end, she won't be able to recognise herself, because there's no "her" left anymore?

[nyxemisa]

she’s a femininomenon!

[craziechwiv]

Saphron: So, you all like my little brother, is that right?

RWBY + NPN: ...

Saphron: Well, I don't blame you guys. He does household chores, cooks fairly well, even gives good massages. The girl that gets him will be very lucky.

So, you want him or not?

RWBY + NPN: HE'S FOR SALE?!

Saphron: Like hell I would, dopes.

[howlingday]

Neptune & Sun Help Jaune

Jaune: ...

Sun: No shit?! She actually said yes?!

Neptune: Way to go~! She's one hell of a girl~!

Jaune: ...

Sun: ...

Neptune: ...I'm guessing there's a "but" in this?

Jaune: It's just... I spent half of my life in the Ever After, right? It just hit me that I've never been on a real date. I bet I'm gonna screw this up with her right away...

Neptune: Oh, I get it! You're nervous!

Sun: Hey, at the end of the day, dates come and go. No need to stress out over it.

Jaune: But what if everything goes to shit and she hates me? What if she never wants to see me again?!

Jaune: Forget it! I've gotta call this whole thing off!

Sun: Then she's DEFINITELY going to hate you if you cancel on her now.

Jaune: Then what am I supposed to do?! Where do we even go? What do we eat? What do we talk about? I never thought about this until now!

Neptune: Alright, alright. Take a deep breath, and let the experts help you out~.

Sun: Hell yeah! We've got this~!

Jaune: Wait, you mean... You guys know about dating?!

Neptune: (Shrugs) About as much as the next guy.

Sun: This is your big chance, man. We're gonna help you make the most of it.

Jaune: Guys... I COULD NEVER PAY YOU BACK~!

Sun: Alright, alright. Let's get started. What's first when it comes to date prep?

Neptune: Easy; first thing you need to do is calm down. Dates aren't anything except two people getting to know each other. All you gotta do is act natural.

Jaune: That makes sense... Act natural!

Sun: What? No way that's it!

Jaune: Huh?

Neptune: What?

Sun: A woman's not looking to just chew the fat on the first date. You wanna give her a night she'll never forget~! Screw acting natural! You've gotta know how to perform~!

Jaune: That... also makes sense. I've gotta go all out for her!

Jaune: ...Hang on, that's the exact opposite of what Neptune was saying. Who do I go with here?

Sun: C'mon, man... Have I ever steered you wrong~? Besides, how many dates do you think HE's been on?

Neptune: Wooow... Well, if you're so experienced, Master Sun, how come you're still a lonely, old bachelor?

Sun: Gee, I dunno, Neptune. Maybe you should ask yourself the same question?!

Neptune: ...Guess being partners doesn't mean jack to you, huh?

Jaune: Uh... G-Guys...?

Sun: Alright! How about this? The three of us will hit the town! Neptune and I will give you some pointers. And as for whose advice you take, well... That's really all on you, huh? Sound good?

Neptune: Sounds like a plan to me. Of course, my advice is what'll work. But without further ado...

Jaune: Yeah! Lead the way~!

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

Jaune: So... What are we doing here at the bullhead station?

Sun: Mouth shut, eyes open, Jaune. School is already in session.

Jaune: Uh... Okay?

Sun: Sun Wukong's The Art of Love, Lesson 1: "How to play the waiting game"!

Jaune: "The waiting game"?

Sun: Listen. The date's begun the moment you reach the meeting spot and assume the position. It is absolutely VITAL that you arrive ahead of time! Then, you wait like a man! Like your life depends on it! And remember; when the girl arrives, she's going to look at you and register a full impression, an impression that's gonna last her a lifetime!

Jaune: Got it! First impressions!

Neptune: He's got a point. Alright, Jaune. Show us how you're gonna wait for your date.

Jaune: Okay, I... Wait. Don't I just... y'know, stand around?

Neptune: Nope. You're stiff as a board. Every fiber of your body looks nervous. You want your date to feel comfortable, right?

Jaune: R-Really? Then, how should I stand?

Neptune: Heh heh heh... I never said anything about standing~. Here, why don't you park your butt right here on the bench? Maybe take a little snooze while you're waiting?

Jaune: Huh?! You want me to fall asleep?!

Neptune: I told you before; dates should be natural. What's more natural than seeing someone at their most vulnerable, like they were asleep?

Jaune: That.... makes sense, I guess...

Neptune: When you date comes on by, she'll be all like, "Wow~! Jauney's so relaxed around me~! Aww, and he looks like a little puppy dog while he's sleeping~!"

Neptune: SHE'LL WANNA PROTECT YOU~!

Jaune: Uh... Are you sure about that? What do you think, Sun?

Sun: Dude... Dozing off before a date? Even I wouldn't do that! What'd I tell you before? A girl wants to feel special on a date. And to get that, you need to work on your posture.

Jaune: How do I make her feel special before she even gets here? What would I even do?

Sun: First of all, you want to get to your date spot 30 minutes early. Then you stand silent, like a statue. Don't look around. Just hold your gaze firmly in the direction she'll be coming from!

Sun: I can already see it now... Your date will show up and think, "When did Jaune get so stoic and manly~? Could he have been saving this side of him just for me~?!"

Sun: Got it?

Jaune: I... I think I do... I'll be showing her my dedication!

Neptune: Well, you can't do both... So, which advice are you gonna take?

Jaune: Uh... If I have to choose...

)Sit and act natural, like Neptune )>Stand and pose, like Sun

Jaune: I gotta trust Sun on this one. I'll stand and wait for her~!

Neptune: Huh? Why?

Jaune: Because... well, if I got here and saw my date konked out on the bench, I'd think she was exhausted. I'd worry the whole time that she's too tired to enjoy the date.

Neptune: Oh, well... That does make sense...

Sun: Damn right, Jaune~! You gotta stand firm! Every man worth his aura would do the same~!

Jaune: Uh, I dunno if that's really how I want to imagine this date. And I'd rather not scare her off. But I have to admit, I don't really get how my posture would matter, either. I'll make sure not to look too tired or sloppy. Thanks~!

Neptune: Mm... Alright, you got this round, Sun... But there's still plenty of lessons up ahead!

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

Sun: Alright! Here comes Sun Wukong's The Art of Love, Lesson 2: "Location, location, location"!

Jaune: Alright~! This is exactly what I need! If you've got something fancy, that'd be great~!

Sun: Who said anything about fancy?

Jaune: C'mon! Even I know this one! It's gotta be Northern Valian, or maybe Southern Valian, or some other high-end spot to impress her, right?

Sun/Neptune: (Heavy sigh)

Jaune: ...Am I wrong?

Neptune: All this talk about fancy restaurants... Jaune, forget what the manual tells you.

Sun: Exactly. If you pick something too cliche and obvious, the day's not gonna feel special. Jaune, you need to pick out a spot that says you picked it out for HER.

Jaune: Picked it out for her...? Like what?

Sun: Heh heh... This place right here~.

Jaune: Huh? This... curry place?

Sun: This place has a secret dish with a spice level of 100. That's a 1.2 million on the Scoville scale, 500 times spicier than your average hot sauce!

Jaune: 500 TIMES?!

Sun: (Nods) That's right... Even the most spice-hardened bastards run from those numbers. No one's ever finished a whole bowl. Now tell me something... What'll your date think when you've conquered such a beast before her very eyes?

Jaune: Well, I'm... not really a spicy food guy...

Sun: Moron... The point is to watch you suffer! Let her see you wipin' the sweat from your brow! It's the struggle that's sexy! She'll be putty in your hands~!

Jaune: R-Really?

Neptune: Of course not! What happens when the curry wins? You'll be left a quivering, snotty mess!

Jaune: True...

Neptune: Listen to me when I tell you to act natural. Don't try to be someone you're not. Go somewhere you always go. And don't bother tripping over yourself finding somewhere new.

Jaune: Well, uh... About that... For me, that's mostly just noodles at the noodle cart.

Neptune: (Shrugs) Then just have some noodles.

Jaune: Noodles on a date?!

Neptune: You think it's against the law or somethin'? All that matters is that you stay relaxed! And right now, that means noodles.

Jaune: W-Well, I would be pretty nervous heading to a Valian place, so there's that...

Sun: Dumbass! Noodles don't win hearts! Spice level 100's the way to go~!

Jaune: Are my options really noodles or the hottest curry on Remnant?!

Sun: Well, you could always just give up, wallow in your indecision, grow old and alone... Now hurry up and make a decision!

Jaune: Seriously?! Man... Well, if I have to choose, then...

)>Do as Neptune says, and pick noodles. )Do as Sun suggests, and choose curry.

Jaune: Then it's the noodles, I guess.

Sun: What?! Noodles on a date?! Are you out of your mind?!

Jaune: Sure, it's not perfect, but I keep thinking about what my date is going to do while I'm scarfing down curry... Nothing.

Sun: Well, she- Y'know! She's watching you with pride! She's in awe of your- your bravery!

Jaune: Uh... Are we talking about the same girl here? Like, am I just taking this girl out to perform tricks for her?

Sun: No duh! It's about impressing her!

Jaune: Maybe, but... Isn't the point of a date to talk to each other? I'd rather do that than win some spicy food challenge.

Sun: Well, uh... Heh heh... You got it~! You saw the lesson BEHIND my lesson~!

Neptune: Y-Yeah! Exactly, Jaune~!

Jaune: Thanks, but, uh, I guess that means the noodles are out, too, huh? They might help me relax, but they're probably just another fast food run for her. I'll have to find a spot we'll both like...

Neptune: R... Right again, Jaune~! You saw through my trick and learned the true lesson underneath~!

Neptune: (Whispering) Y'know, maybe he's not as dumb as his haircut looks...

Sun: (Whispering) Yeah, you're right. I think what he's missing is confidence...

Jaune: I gotta say, guys, I wasn't expecting this before, but you guys really DO have me feeling readier for this date~! So, what's next~?

Neptune: Ho ho ho... Time for the FINAL lesson~!

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

Sun: And here we are... The final course in Sun Wukong's The Art of Love: "How to Dress the Part".

Jaune: Alright... I see what's comin'... Give it to me straight! What's wrong with how I dress? I mean, this sweater's pretty sharp, right~?

Neptune: Far from it, I'm afraid. Completely unnatural.

Jaune: ...Huh?

Neptune: Is that a natural color fabric? Remember, we're going for the human nature here. Try something like this.

Neptune: (Shows super lax beatnik get-up)

Jaune: Is... this a date outfit? It doesn't look very stylish.

Neptune: Trust me, nothing's more stylish than au naturel. What's trendier than an organic lifestyle? These clothes are made of pure cotton and hemp. Not a single drop of artificial coloring! An environmentally friendly ensemble for the discerning man~.

Jaune: Oh, I getcha! It's another way of keeping things natural! But won't my date call me out on it? I mean, she's never seen me dress this way.

Neptune: Don't worry about it! The call of nature affects everyone. Your date will know on a primal level that THIS is sexy. Don't you see? It's written in our very souls to love those who love nature~!

Jaune: Oh, that... Wait, really? I mean, I get the value of being environmentally conscious, but...

Sun: Alright, alright. That's enough humoring the wack job, Jaune. You're not here to save the planet; you're getting ready for a friggin' date! Cosplaying as some burlap bongo-beater isn't gonna make you date go ga-ga for you.

Jaune: Okay, Sun, then what do you suggest?

Sun: Behold; a masterpiece of suit-based seduction~!

Sun: (Shows slick'n'shiny Wallstreet wear)

Jaune: What the hell is this?! If I wear this, she'll think I'm a vampire!

Sun: Jaune, do you know why the firefly illuminates in the darkness?

Jaune: What are you talking about?!

Sun: It's all part of the male's courtship ritual, of course. Dazzling your beloved, captivating them... It's an instinct every living being on Remnant shares! Listen to your instincts, Jaune! Light up her life, and that girl will be putty in your hands~!

Jaune: Wh-Whoa... When you put it like that, this suit's pretty amazing, huh?

Sun: Yup! Wouldn't you rather show up in this than in Neptune's sack of crap!

Jaune: Aw, damn... I really gotta choose this time... And you've both made really good points, too!

Neptune: It's okay, Jaune! Go with your heart~!

Jaune: GOT IT! In that case, I choose...

)Go off with Neptune's organic option )> Stick with Sun's dazzling decision

Jaune: Sun, it's all yours~! I get human nature's important, but a special occasion calls for special action, right?

Neptune: Hmhm... Alright. I've already made my pitch. Now go give it your all and make it one for the history books~!

Sun: Damn right! We got you as far as we can take you. Now the rest is up to you, Jaune~.

Jaune: Thanks, you guys... I'll make you both proud~!

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

How does the date go with your Jaune ship?

SUPERMAN/CLARK KENT & BATMAN/BRUCE WAYNE in INFINITE CRISIS (2005)

[oscarsasylum]

no one talks enough about how funny it is for Booker to suddenly change clothes (gear) in the midst of battle

[5-turtleducks-in-a-trenchcoat]

I absolutely adore the Shoin institute arc especially the underwater base part.

Also in my head it kind of looks like the 20.000 lums under the sea levels in rayman legends and honestly I really love that as a visual.

[forever-and-whats-left]

Vroom vroom here comes a stupid poto analysisssssss. Once more I've run into that plot point where they point out "Would you have loved him if he were an ordinary man?"

IDK DUDE.

Her silence is important because it says a lot more than whatever else words would. She doesn't hate him, she is disgusted by him. That is what is clearly stated. But more broadly, who the fuck would Erik be if he WERE ordinary? His name wouldn't even BE Erik. Would he still be so into music? Would they have met? Would Erik even have spent the time to develop her singing skills because, let's be honest, the whole "dead" father bit definitely made her more open to manipulation? So whenever people say, "It's her saying she's in love with him" I feel like people are missing the big picture, because, the WHOLE theme of the book is how we treat those who are "different". Literally. The end of the book has a monologue about questioning whether we should pity Erik. (and the answer is a lot more complicated than a simple yes or no).

SO. IDK. MAYBE???

halo 4: chief wrestles with cortana’s words of him being more machine than human

halo infinite: chief finding his humanity due to his mistake with cortana

[spahhzy]

Pyrrha: Jaune...are you sure you want to do this?

Jaune: It's the only way to make up for all I've done to you...

Jaune pushes open the door and immediately came face to face with Curious Cat.

They were back at river below the Great Tree.

Curious Cat: Jaune Arc... Are you ready to keep your promise to me?

Jaune looks back to Pyrrha confused.

Jaune: Why are we back here in the EverAfter?

Pyrrha looks at Jaune with a look of pain and sadness.

Pyrrha: This isn't the same place, Jaune.

Jaune: Of course it is. I remember...

Jaune's eyes widened as he saw another Pyrrha approach him from his right and left.

Soon, he was faced with a whole group of Pyrrha's.

Jaune: Wait...your not...who are you?

Pyrrha: You chose to walk away from the promise, but in other branches? You gave yourself to the Curious Cat... you were born again a different man.

Jaune: Curio.

Pyrrha: It all has to end.

Pyrrha: To have never have started.

Pyrrha: Not just in this world, but in all of ours.

Jaune: Smother him in the crib...

Pyrrha: Smother.

Pyrrha: Smother.

Pyrrha: Smother.

Pyrrha: Before the choice is made.

Pyrrha: Before you are reborn.

The Pyrrha on his right grabbed his right arm.

Pyrrha: He's Curio Arc.

The Pyrrha on his left grabbed his left.

Pyrrha: He's Jaune Arc.

Jaune: No, I'm both.

The Pyrrha, His Pyrrha, had tears in her eyes as she put her hands on his chest before the three of submerged the Knight in the water.

Jaune looked up in the water as he saw his Pyrrha, tears cascading down her cheeks as she continued to hold him down under as water filled his lungs, a small struggle ensues before finally his vision went black and his struggles stopped.

It was finally done.

I love the Thunderhead so much you guys have no idea I NEED TO CONDUCT EXPERIMENTS ON THIS THING. ITS SO FASCINATING TO ME. “I would be heartbroken if I had a heart capable of breaking.” Okay.

May I ask for relationship headcannon sfw/nsfw for jaune arc x Laura bodewig from infinite stratos?

I find this a little funny because Laura has white hair, is short, cold/distant, has a superiority complex, mismatched/'damaged' left eye, and is German. Basically, I see that she is almost identical to early RWBY Volumes Weiss Schnee hahahaha.

SFW

They'd meet at Beacon, Laura being an "Atlas Student" that just transferred under the request of General Ironwood. There, Laura would see this cute, goofy blond guy chatting nonchalantly to Pyrrha Nikos, one of her biggest idols and inspirations, and tasked herself with finding out how such a silly boy could be so close to the strongest women she knew

It would lead to Jaune being attracted to her because she was so similar to Weiss and Laura falling for Jaune for his sincerity, generosity, and determination just like Pyrrha had. by the end of JNPR's duo match, Laura is claiming Jaune as her bride

Laura would also love hearing Jaune play guitar for her, even though she knows he isn't that good at it. It still makes her feel very special

When she meets Jaune's family, Laura would be unsettled by how close and soft they all seem to be together. However, she would also be over the moon to be accepted into the family by his parents and siblings as well. Though she feels like she needs to earn her place in the Arc family by protecting Jaune no matter what, an idea that all the Arcs have to break her out off several times

NSFW

Given how Laura already thinks they're to be wed, nothing is off limits between them, as a married couple should be! If he wishes to see her nude, she'd strip for him then and there

Laura goes into sex as a dom, or at the very least a power bottom. She's in control and will happily lead them both to a pleasurable night~.

Until Jaune gets all tender and sweet with his words to her while they're fucking and then she'll melt into his hands, asking (begging) him to do whatever he wants with/to her

Jaune likes having Laura take control because he is far too shy to do it himself, but he will really step up when she becomes a blushing mess from his sincere compliments, melting in his arms and asking him to "ravish her". That's his queue to show her what he's got!
