#pro pyrrha

[diaryofamadsunwukongfan]

"Pyrrha had to die because of her allusion" actually, Pyrrha's whole character since day one has been about people assuming she has some big destiny when really she works harder than everyone else and even Cinder said "•"Hmm... people assume that she's fated for victory, when she's really taking fate into her own hands." In volume 2 so Pyrrha *not* doing a pyrric victory or whatever is more in line with her character.

But you know who does make sense to die for their friends in volume 3? Jaune: unlike Pyrrha he can actually call himself friends with Ruby so her activating silver eyes for him makes way more sense, and Jaune is based on a figure that literally became a myrter and was burned at the stake (hmm, which element does Cinder use?).

Ashes to Ashes ...

Blake: the Rusted Knight!

The Rusted Knight looked over it's shoulder as it approached the Jackelope

The Rusted Knight: ...

Yang: Still the Stoic, silent type you were in the book, huh.

After giving Juniper a soft pat, it shakily pulled out something - A Scroll, like the rest of them had - while lifting it's visor to reveal a set of softly glowing blue dots amidst a sea of of shimmering golden dust.

The Scroll jumped to life despite the obvious wear on the ancient device, and spat out choppy, contorted sentences fragmented together from old recordings

Scroll: TEAM- Ruby, I- am- Jaune ...

They all stared confused at the animated armor, in disbelief and shock.

Weiss: I'm sorry, what? You're Jaune?

The scroll sputtered back to life as the shield collapsed and expanded

Scroll: Vomit Boy! Short and sweet- Rolling- off- Tongues- Ladies- LOVE- it.

And for another moment they stared - only this time in complete horror.

They bumrushed the rusted platemail, clinging onto it like children to a stuffed toy. They felt a familiar sensation emanating from it, further cementing the Truth - This, whatever it was, was Jaune.

They held the armor as it shuddered, doing it's best to hold tight to them, the dust that held it together weakening in its overwhelming emotions - it'd be fine, it would pull itself together in the end - it always did. It always had to.

There was always someone to protect.

It just had one more duty before its Dust returned to ... dust.

While this is really a headcanon and not actually canon, I have fully convinced myself that Pyrrha can sing and nobody can change my mind. I HAVE THE PROOF TO BACK IIIIIIIIIIIIIT 📣📣📣

It's the only proof I need, but Pyrrha's JP VA can sing :D I put together a bunch of clips of her that I've found (that sound like pyrrha bc her VA has quite a bit of range) so I can share this canon-to-me headcanon of mine in full :-) [oh and let me tell you, getting the clips from Navigatoria was AGONY- its nearing lost media status at this point!! It's sold out everywhere and the only reason I have the clips at all is thanks to the wayback machine, as someone archived the promo video which included the clips from that mini album!! Bless whoever archived it...]

Chp 3 - King of Kings

Pyrrha was getting more and more worried. Ever since Jaune and Yang had their secret little talk, Jaune had been taking more and more time to work out and train on his own. Or that was what she thought, until on a late night trip to the gym, with the intent of walking Jaune back to the dorm, she saw them. Yang and Jaune leaving the gym together, laughing and goofing off. It surprised her, and also slightly upset her. She was Jaune's partner. Not Yang.

And so ever since that discovery, Pyrrha plied considerable amounts of her attention watching the pair of blonds. Searching for signs that told her she was too late to make her move. Looking for indications that she had missed her chance. The more she studied their interactions outside of class, the more convinced she became that something was up between them. Pyrrha had long ago came to the conclusion that it was nothing romantic, but it still troubled her.

So a week after Jaune and Yang's talk, she decided to follow her partner and team leader. Her concern and curiosity had finally won out, and she was going to find out what was happening between the two of them. She waited out of sight for several minutes after the pair had entered the gym. Satisfied that enough time had passed and that she would catch them in a moment, that couldn't explain away, Pyrrha made her move. The door slightly creaked as she pushed it open.

Yang: Now Cardin has a mace, so you know that gives him extra reach, but you now know how to get inside his guard. So what are you going to do when you get in close?

Jaune: I don't know... how about something like... This!

Pyrrha was equal parts shocked and enraged as she watched Jaune grab Yang and send her running across the boxing ring that some of the students used to spar in...

Jaune: (Helping Yang to her feet) Nice. You took the bump nearly perfectly.

Yang: Nearly?

Jaune: Back bump. Land on Upper back, not mid or lower.

Yang: Got it. Again?

Jaune: (Chuckles) If you think you can...

Pyrrha: What the hell is this?

Yang/Jaune: Pyrrha?

Pyrrha: I came down here to offer to help you train with Jaune and what do I find? You two goofing off!

Jaune: Pyrrha?

Yang: It's not what it looks like P-Money we're just...

Pyrrha: Pissing around, playing at actual fighting! That crap is not worth learning. It's fake and useless. It has no place in sports or the combat arts! That crap makes a mockery of...

Jaune: Shut it! Right now, Pyr, shut it.

Pyrrha: Jaune?

Yang: (Whispering to Jaune) She doesn't know, Jaune so just let it...

Jaune: You think what my family has taught me since I was the age of five is garbage? You think it's a waste of time? It's goofing off?

Pyrrha: Jaune, what?

Yang: Jaune, don't...

Jaune: You know nothing, Miss four-time champion! You want to talk about fake... look at your own accomplishments! So what if you trained, so what if you were taught... those fights weren't real either, were they?

Pyrrha: They were real! I worked hard...

Jaune: Worked hard to put on a show! You weren't in any danger during those matches. You were play fighting for a crowd.

Pyrrha: At least it prepared me...

Jaune: Prepared you for what? What did it really prepare you for? To pose for pictures? To get sponsorship deals?

Pyrrha: I don't have to defend myself, here. You're the one who is goofing off when he NEEDS to train!

Jaune snorted, climbed out of the ring and glared at Pyrrha before grabbing his towel and walking away.

Pyrrha: (Taking a step to follow him) Jaune, come back.

Yang: (Touching Pyrrha's arm drawing her attention from Jaune) Let him go, Pyrrha. He needs to cool off and so do you.

Pyrrha: Why was he so angry. I only said the truth. He's acting like I personally attacked him?

Yang: Maybe you did, and you just don't know you did?

Pyrrha: What are you saying, Yang?

Yang: I'm saying, leave him be for a bit. Let him cool off, and then talk it out with him, and before you ask. I have been teaching Jaune some things. Ways to duck and dodge without using his shield.

Pyrrha: Then what was all that wrestling nonsense?

Yang: It was Jaune teaching me something.

Pyrrha: Teaching you? What do you mean?

Yang: Jaune has skills we never knew he had, and I'll leave it...

Pyrrha: Knowing fake moves is not a skill.

Yang: I'm not going to argue with you about it, P-Money. Go cool off.

Pyrrha: But Jaune...

Yang: Needs to cool off, too.

/=/

Pyrrha walked into the dorm and was instantly met with an annoyed Nora, who promptly shoved the screen of her scroll into Pyrrha's face.

Nora: WHY is Fearless Leader in VALE instead of here with us? WHAT. DID. YOU. DO?

Pyrrha: (Stammering) Why do you...

Nora: I know you followed Jaune, and I know you wanted to walk back here with him, but... YOU. ARE. ALONE.

Ren: Nora.

Nora: No Rennie! I am not letting my family fall apart! (Pokes Pyrrha in the chest.) Start talking missy!

Pyrrha: (Sighs) We had a fight.

Nora: About?

Pyrrha: It was nonsense, but he acted like I was personally insulting him? I was going to chase after him but Yang stopped me and said we both need to cool off.

Nora: Again. What did you argue about?

Pyrrha: I caught him and Yang practising professional wrestling moves, and I called them out on goofing off instead of really training.

Nora: What did Jaune say.

Pyrrha: He said some things about how I'm fake (sniffles), and I don't understand. (Eyes start tearing, up) I just don't understand.

Nora: (Pats Pyrrha on the back while helping her to her bed.) Well, maybe we can get it all sorted in the morning.

Why have I only just realised that Cytherea was so interested in Gideon because of her name being Gideon

[superiorsturgeon]

Pyrrha: Thank you for coming over so quickly…! 😰

Ren: Is everything okay? You sounded upset when you called us.

Pyrrha: *uncorking wine bottle* Earlier before Jaune left for his presentation his sister visited with her son, and we started talking about kids, and Jaune was super excited about starting a family, but I’m just not sure if I’m ready yet…! 😖

Pyrrha: I need you both to help me decide!

Nora/Ren: *debating the pros and cons of having children*

Pyrrha: *sipping wine and listening anxiously* 😕🍷

Pyrrha: *looks down on the floor and spots a tiny discarded sock left behind by Adrian*

Pyrrha: *delighted gasp* Oh my gosh, look at this tiny little sock! It’s so adorable!!! 🧦 😍

Pyrrha: …I think I’m ready after all…! 🥰

Nora: What?! After this whole debate the sock is what does it? What about all that other stuff we talked about?

Ren: You’re just mad that you were losing. 😁

Nora: You just say that because you’re practically a middle-aged dad yourself!

Ren: …wait…where did Pyrrha go?

Nora: *picks up empty wine bottle* Hey, did you drink any of this?

Ren: No, did you…?

Nora: No…

———————————————————

Jaune: *setting up his presentation*

Jaune: …Pyrrha…? What are you doing here?

Pyrrha: *wearing lingerie, drunkenly points at her middle* Come on, you sexy blonde dork! Put your melon-headed Arc babies IN MY BELLY! 😆

9 Days of Lancaster Day 6:

Quiet Moments With RNJR

Ruby:Food?

Nora:Check.

Ruby:Fresh water?

Nora:We got it.

Ruby:And the tents are set up. Perfect. Now all we need is Jaune and Ren to comeback with firewood.

The red hooded warrior flopped back onto her sleeping bag, utterly exhausted.

Nora:You good?

Ruby:I’ve done camping, but nothing more than a week. Outdoor life is serious. No wonder Uncle Qrow said “a day out there is worth a week in this school.”

Nora:Oh yeah. This is your first long haul across the country. *sits* Ren and I are pros by force. Honestly, Beacon’s beds were a little too soft at times. Guess I’m too used to roughing it.

Ruby:You think Jaune will be okay?

Nora:His family was big on camping trips. Plus he’s a quick learner. If he can wear armor in a lecture hall, he can lay on dirt.

Ruby:Yeah, I guess you’re right….

Nora:You’re worried about him.

Ruby:Aren’t we all?

Nora:Yeah but you’re…worried. Always have been, haven’t you?

Ruby:..I wouldn’t say always. But yeah, for a while. *cringes* Dare I say before second semester even started.

Nora:Yikes. You’ve been holding that in. I’m jealous. I couldn’t be more obvious and feel like I’m stuck in limbo at times.

Ruby:Hey, Ren loves you. Don’t ever question that. The way he looks at you is how my dad looks when I ask about mom. I can from a single glance that you have his entire heart.

Nora:*red* Oh, th-thanks for that. Kinda nice to have a second opinion.

Ruby:Meanwhile I’m fretting over someone who’s got a lot on their plate and I’m not even sure just how deep the feelings go in the first place. Covers face. Real schoolgirl nonsense outside of a school scenario.

Nora:Give yourself credit. You have just as much on your plate and we’ve only been traveling for about a month. Sure we’ve been out of school longer, but I wouldn’t count everything that happened in between.

Ruby:Sometimes my mind is still there. I bet his is too. I just… I don’t know if I want him to lean on me, or if I’m trying to lean on him. When I try bringing it up it feels awkward and this distance feels visible, but I don’t think it’s him pushing away. I thin I’m-

Nora:Scared?

Nora watch the girl fidget with her hood as she kept her eyes covered with her arm. A long sigh left Ruby’s body. It’s odd. Nora never imagined she’d see so much of herself in a friend. It almost felt like fate. The older redhead stood up and walked over to sit right next to her friend.

Nora:It makes you a little anxious how much you might need him if you unburden every thought; if you allow yourself to feel…exposed. That last thing you want is for them crumble under a stress you never meant to put on them.

Ruby:I don’t want to see anyone else fall apart in front of me.

Nora:Pyrrha, she…she told me something that really stuck with me before and after duos. Of all the challenges she’s faced on and off the field, none of them felt as fun and light as the problems she faced knowing her back was against mine. It made me really happy seeing my presence did that for someone. Ruby, I can say with full confidence Jaune feels that with you.

Ruby:…*sits up* Really?

Nora:Ren and I push him. Pyrrha taught and had faith in him. But…it’s you that makes him believe in himself. It’s you that got him out the door and out here. Hehe, you think nobody ever heard you two constantly talking outside in the hall?

Ruby:*red*Oh…

Nora:You care deeper than you realize. You push each other more than either of you have ever said. Don’t be afraid to put your weight on him. I know my leader and how he sees you; Jaune will support you. You do have to do me a small favor though.

Ruby:Huh? What’s that.

Nora:*ruffles Ruby’s hair* I’m the first bridesmaid.

Ruby:W-What!?

Nora:Hahaha!

Ruby:Where did that come from!?

Nora:Listen, I’m calling it now is all. He likes your new outfit. Don’t tell him, but I caught him staring a couple times in awe.

Ruby:Pfft, what? That’s… r-really?

xxxxxxx

A little ways away, Jaune found another batch of decent dry wood to add to his impressive stack he carried. Ren was no slacker, but it felt like Jaune’s cargo double in size every five minutes.

Ren:Ummm, should we build a bonfire?

Jaune:Huh? Oh! Uh I guess we kinda have more than enough now, don’t we?

Ren:I’d say so. If this was a contest I’d feel bad.

Jaune:Don’t say that. I kinda zoned I guess….

Ren:Wanna talk about it?

Jaune:About what?

Ren:Jaune, you’re clearly distracted. Though I suppose that was the point. Instead of pairing with Ruby, you chose the task where you got to go off and focus on the immediate goal instead of staying behind.

Jaune:Is that why you’re here?

Ren:No. One time I was sick and Nora had to learn to put the tent up. After many, many attempts, she got really good at it. She took so much pride in it that now she won’t let me do it. *smiles*

Jaune:Hehe, that sounds like Nora.

Ren:Yeah, but that story isn’t gonna change the subject. You two have been awkward, and not the usual kind of awkward. Going to lengths to avoid a conversation is admittedly something I’d do. That’s concerning.

Jaune:I wouldn’t say that. I think you’re a pretty great person.

Ren:Thanks, and what makes you great are the many ways you aren’t like me. Like how you’re talkative and expressive. I really admire that part of you, so don’t act like this is normal when it isn’t. You can talk to any one of us. But…while I’ll definitely listen intently, we both know you should be talking to the one person who’s always brought out more of what I think makes you great.

Jaune:Ren, I get what you’re saying but Ruby, she’s dealing with a lot.

Ren:Don’t you think that’s why she wants to talk to you?

The raven haired man walked over and took half of Jaune’s pile out of his hands.

Ren:Hmm. It really isn’t that much with two people. *walks away*

Jaune:…But what if you had the same amount as me from the start? Or…what if you didn’t realize just how heavy it was until you took it?

Ren:…Good question. Somehow, I just know how despite it all, it would feel lighter regardless.

Jaune:….

xxxxxxx

About twenty minutes later, the two returned with the firewood. After putting it down, Nora and Ren quickly got to work making the fire. Ruby was about to help when she felt Jaune gently grab her arm. He didn’t say anything and yet she knew to follow him as they walked a little ways away.

Nora:Think they’ll be okay?

Ren:With you looking after them, how could they not be?

Nora:..*smiles* Yeah well, what can I say? I have a pretty amazing person that helps ground me.

Ren:Oh really? I’m glad.

Nora:Wish he yapped more though. I like hearing his thoughts.

Ren:*red* He will try…

xxxxxx

Ruby:What’s up? Everything okay?

Jaune:No. I uhhh, I’m sorry if I’ve felt a little distant or haven’t been-

She holds his hands immediately, looking him with kind, gentle eyes that fought back fear.

Ruby:There’s nothing to apologize for. Honest. Things feel weird because they are. Simple as that. It’s okay to need space.

Jaune:Space isn’t something I need from you. I hope you know that. I’m here so, if you need me, don’t hold back.

Ruby:*looks down* Sometimes I…let my mind wander. I end up back in the hallway right before Penny…you know.

Jaune:You tried you hardest, Ruby.

Ruby:So did you. And I know you probably don’t want to hear or believe that but it’s true. Sometimes I catch you staring off and without saying anything I just know that…you’re in the same spot as me. I’m stuck in that hallway and you’re in that locker.

Her hands were trembling. Or maybe it was his own? Regardless, when she looked at him with tears in her eyes that matched his, Jaune knew they were definitely trapped in the same spot.

Ruby:I don’t know if talking about it will make it better. I’ll be honest, I don’t. I still want to though. With you, cause the last thing I want is for you to fight this feeling alone. It’s been kicking my butt hehe.

Jaune:Yeah it’s…it’s not great, haha. Sorry I…gods, this sucks. Things feel bad but yet I’m smiling? Maybe I am at my limit?

Ruby:Same! Hehe. Jaune I…I need you, and I’m sorry if that feels weird or wrong but I want you to need me too. Not just for this, but for whatever comes after. If I lose you, I think I just might-

Her entire body was yanked forward, falling right into warm arms that held her so tightly. Yet Ruby felt held the upmost care. So much so that her tears finally fell. Her arms wrapped around his back and she didn’t dream of letting him go.

Jaune:I got you. So please, don’t let go. Never let go. We’re partners. You’re stuck with me.

Ruby:I promise. I’m with ya. Partners. Right to the end.

[rachetmath]

Remnant Sucks

Deidamia(SOD): Speak human. What do you wish to be destroyed?

Juane All the Grimm.

Deidamia(SOD): Huh.

Jaune: Yes. All the Grimm. Wiped. Destroyed. Cleared off the map. Is there a problem?

Deidamia (SOD): No. In fact I am impressed you would choose that and wonder why.

Jaune: Grimm are deadly creatures. They adapt quickly. And they shouldn't be a problem but-

Deidamia (SOD): Humans?

Jaune: Humans. Absolutely. Like we kind of are the problem.

Ruby: Jaune how can -

Jaune: Ruby a woman- a human woman decided to go against Gods. GODS. Just to get one man back. That led to her being immortal. She then persuaded thousands of warriors. Hunters of the past. Our predecessors to fight off said gods again just because she didn't like what they did to her. All that death by one woman!

Ruby: Um.

Jaune: Then when said man came back into her life, and he saw the monster she became she killed him and probably her daughters. And that was the beginning.

Ruby: …

Jaune: But let's be honest with ourselves, The Grimm only strike when they sense negative emotions. Why is that?

Yang: Who cares why? They're just monsters.

Jaune: You mean the same monsters who knows when to avoid conflict. Can gain enough intelligence to almost become sentient. And the more they learn they become effective killers. I don't think ‘monsters’ are enough words to describe them.

Yang: …

Jaune: And we know why. We are just Creation's creations, we know no longer have anything to do with Destruction. Meaning?

Weiss: Meaning the Grimm are only following the purpose they were made for before our predecessors were born.

Jaune: Which is killing whatever Creation makes.

Ren: And I mean we earn it sometimes and I can't blame them for how fragile the world is.

Blake: I mean -

Ren: Blake before Faunuses we already were divided. And not just by race.

Jaune: Even to this day we have issues and we solve it with mostly violence. Basically the Grimm are just trying to prevent the world from ending again. Or because they were here first and we just started taking shit.

Ruby: Okay I see your point. Once we get rid of the Grimm the world will be at peace.

Nora: Naive child.

Deidamia(SOD): Ignorance.

Ruby: What?

Oscar: Ruby you know once the Grimm are gone there might not be any use for hunters.

Ruby: Not true we can still hold the peace.

Jaune: Yeah, too bad semblances can divide us.

Nora: Like Ruby compared to the average humans, we might as well be freaks. And even if we try, not everyone gets a semblance. Hell a majority of people barely have aura.

Ruby: Damn.

Jaune: And to be more honest, we failed to do our jobs. Like Hazel's sister died because of a teacher's negligence. Cinder turned out the way she is because of poor conditions and no one helped her. We saw hunters who not only failed at their jobs but attempted to sleep with either one of you girls even though they were tasked with guarding a train.

Weiss: Okay besides those amateurs-

Jaune: Those were pros.

Weiss: Who we don't know.

Jaune: So who do we know as failures? Okay, Qrow is a failure. Not because of his semblance but his choices. Man is a damn idiot. He allowed a fall maiden to be on the brink of death and got Clover killed. Why do you think Maria is better than him? James halted the world to make a new tower, only to abandon that idea when Salem arrived. I say his plan was good but our priorities weren’t in order. Like Tyrian, Salem’s minion wasn’t important but Robyn's dumbass Hill was. Why? And Lion sold us out to save his own ass. And who chose them? Ozpin! And don't get started on Goodwitch.

Oobleck: Mr. Arc-

Jaune: Shut the hell up Luigi.

Oscar: He’s not wrong.

Jaune: Basically Ruby we might as well retire cause at the rate we’re going we might as well be the next upcoming villains.

Ruby: F*** you.

Jaune: F*** your mom. Who also died for nothing. Like Pyrrha. At least Penny died saving people.

Blake: Come on guys we-

Nora: Blake, Harriet almost killed thousands of people under Jame’s orders. Hell we almost did that ourselves, remember? Argus? Pyrrha’s home town?

Ren: And Atlas we had way more to do with the situation. Considering we were following team RWBY’s lead.

Yang: Now wait a minute Nora and Ren, we did that for good reasons.

Ren: No, we did that because Weiss was too scared to go home by herself. Or because for some reason a woman is more understandable while a man is just a destructive creature.

Jaune: Again even though said woman is the reason the world ended before.

Oscar: Not to mention we have Emerald. Out of everyone we could have chosen, we chose Cinder's bottom bitch. That's how low we went. No offense.

Emerald: Non taken?

Ruby: Okay. Um. Um-

Jaune: Ruby, let's be honest here. The Grimm are minor compared to our species. Like we have so many isms in our vocabulary it might as well be a disease name in itself for how it affects the minds of humanity.

Weiss: But Jaune -

Jaune: Shut up hell up Atlasian I already got deal with you entitled mother fuckers enough. Especially Mantle, the only mother fuckers worth were the Faunus. And I put that on Adam Taurus.

Adam: *in hell* Finally one human gets it.

Weiss: We're not-

Jaune: James. The Ace-op. And Cordovin. Need I say more.

Deidamia(SOD): He's not wrong. You humans might well be your own worst enemies. Like all you are just… … ew.

Jaune: I know right. We might as well take each other out. It's that simple. I'm just delaying the impossible.

Deidamia(SOD): And with that note being said I will grant you your wish Jaune Arc. Also you-

Jaune: Ozpin told me ahead of time. I will take my chances.

Deidamia(SOD): Good. Bout damn time he did something useful. Considering he had options.

Jaune: Don't get me started.

[diaryofamadsunwukongfan]

This is what Jaune stans think of Pyrrha :/

[howlingday]

Qrow: All of you, get to class! Your teachers are waiting! And by teachers, I mean just me.

Weiss: Budget cuts are hitting Beacon that hard?

Qrow: They would be if the other teachers didn't walk out on me!

Coco: That just means we have more lien to invest in more whistles~!

CFVY: (Walk in, Blowing whistles)

Qrow: Beacon Year 2, meet Beacon Year 4.

Ruby: Year 4~?! They're practically pros already~!

Qrow: They're here today to talk to you about-

Coco: Gun safety~!

Qrow: No!

Fox: Drugs?

Qrow: No!

Velvet: Bullying?

Qrow: NO!

Yatsuhashi: Sex Ed?

Pyrrha: (Snuggling Jaune) Too late for that~!

CFVY: OH NO!

Qrow: What's the point of having student helpers IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE HELPFUL?!

[patiencespardon]

hopping onto my oft-forgotten tumblr during alectopause to talk about something i've been mulling over re: mythology, namesakes, and foreshadowing in tlt.

so here, have a rambly mess of classics, nomenclature, dooming and un-dooming characters, and cornplating about ianthe. enjoy??

obligatory disclaimer: tlt is obviously its own property and is most certainly not a one-to-one retelling of anything in particular.

however!! as we all know, tazmuir loves a good reference, and in particular, a good name reference. often, we've seen those names foreshadowing (usually bad) events that happen to the characters that bear them. some examples:

protesilaus: from πρῶτος, first, is the first to die in both tlt and the iliad. both pros also have wives named mia and laodamia.

palamedes, who was almost diomedes: from two mythological clever smart boys (cf homer, hyginus, apollodorus). also, palamedes (myth version) def gets murdered.

pyrrha: from πυρρός, red-haired (well, yeah), relations to achilles (cf hyginus) and neoptolemus (originally pyrrhus), as well as to epirote king pyrrhus, whose battle casualties led to the term "pyrrhic victory."

camilla: from camilla in virgil's aeneid, another fantastically capable warrior maiden who makes a devatasting eleventh-hour sacrifice after getting stabbed. rip sweet princess :(

plenty more from other works (see: dulcinea, augustine, paul). point being, this is a trend, and it's often oof ouch.

anybody else i'm forgetting? anybody missing? oh, hi, ianthe, didn't see you over there!

ianthe is a character who's been a thorn in my theorizing side for years. and her name is no different!

perhaps the simplest explanation is that her name is just meant to be an aesthetic choice, not a referential one. we know from nona that the twins' mother is called violabeth. presumably, coronabeth is named after her mother, à la priamhark - harrowhark. and ianthe, likely derived from the greek ίανθος, violet, is a good tie-in to both their mother's name and the third's house colors.

in all fairness, that's probably it. but stick with me here!!!

there is an ianthe in mythology – in book 9 of ovid's metamorphoses, to be exact. and the really interesting thing? that ianthe gets a happy ending.

iphis and ianthe is a super interesting story. to sum up: iphis is born afab but is raised male, falls in mutual love with schoolmate ianthe and the pair are engaged, laments being afab and longs to be a man so the marriage can come to fruition. isis intervenes, iphis is metamorphosed into a man, and the pair happily marry.

so, elle, this is very cool and all, but does this have anything to do with tlt ianthe? if there are parallels, they're certainly significantly less obvious compared to, say, mr. "dies first" protesilaus.

the connections are loose, but, dare i say, they are...there?

i+i is one of the only extant mythological examples we have of homoerotic desire, which feels very on the nose for tlt lmao

we also have this emphasis on marriage in i+i, with ianthe in particular "keenly [seeking]" a marriage that iphis is trying to delay. someday she's going to marry that girl? anyone?

most importantly: we have a clear emphasis on gender. while it is more in relation to iphis than ianthe, iphis does wonder whether "either" of them could be changed, and there are clear anxieties and discomfort around gender presentation and social ramifications of gender that line up very well with tower prince, naberius-soul-concoction ianthe.

I find ianthe very interesting in relation to this naming trend for two reasons. ianthe, unlike any other character with a "myth" name, doesn't have a clear connection to her namesake. and mythological ianthe, unlike any of the other namesakes, is a relatively "happy" story.

is this in service of saying that ianthe is bound for a happy ending? well, no. of course, I think ianthe is a very likely candidate for the alecto wedding, and, while I would be absolutely shocked out of my seat if she ended the series alive, it's somehow on-brand for her in my mind for her to live as much as it is for her to die. but i'm also team ianthe-was-originally-abella, per the gtn naming system guide, and abel is notorious for, uh, not getting a happy ending.

what this is hopefully in service of saying is that I find it really interesting when references do and don't apply. when I initially made the ianthe-ianthe connection in my brain, I dismissed it out of hand – ianthe, love and light, bestie, is doomed! of course she has nothing to do with one of the few hopeful, happy stories in the greek and roman mythos!

but the more I think about it, the more I realize how perfect this is for her. she isn't like the other mythologically-named characters, all of whom are named for characters in mythological epic, those big, classic, dramatic narratives of homer and virgil.

no, ianthe is from the metamorphoses. the epic written by the guy who is clever, cheeky, who knows rules and epic convention so well that he flouts and plays with them where he pleases. ovidian epic, the metamorphoses, is in itself a metamorphosis and collision of genres and tonalities and styles. this isn't the story of a hero. this is the fucky, wonky, anti-epic epic that doesn't fit into any tidy boxes.

sounds familiar?

this is, as I said at the top, completely and utterly cornplating at this point. but I just think it's so silly goofy and absolutely sensical for this series to have this mythological naming trend, to buck that trend, only to have this understanding that the trend has indeed not been bucked on account of a character's own trend being bucking all the trends.

and as for the saint of awe herself? whatever big dramatic horrible thing she does in alecto is anyone's guess. she's metamorphosing, baby. nobody can quite pin her down, and if ovidian references have anything to say about it, that's entirely by design.

anyway I Just Think She's Neat. if you've made it all the way here mwah lots of love for reading my silly rambles <3

Chp 4 - King of Kings

The buzzing of the intercom, roused a enchantingly beautiful blond woman from her half-sleep on the couch. Rubbing here eyes, she shuffled over and hit the talk button.

???? : (half yawning) Better be important.

Jaune: Let me in Vi.

Violet: Jaune? What are you...

Jaune: I need a place to crash... had a fight with my partner.

Violet: Jaune, what's going on?

Jaune: Can we talk AFTER you let me in?

Violet: Yeah right. (Hits the door button)

About two minutes later came a soft knock on her door. She answered without a pause, to see her rather depressed looking young brother on the other side.

Violet: Come on get inside.

Jaune gave a weak smile and slight nod, before stepping into the rather well appointed third floor two bedroom apartment. Kicking off his sneakers, he moved out of the foyer and straight to the couch. Violet secured the door and rubbing her eyes again she made her own way over to the couch and dropped into it. As her bounced lightly, she brought her feet up and planted them softly in Jaune's lap.

Violet: Feet and talk.

Jaune: Really? I come here distraught and you want me to rub your feet?

Violet: I was just about fall asleep... so you owe me a little pampering.

Jaune: (Starting to rub Violet's bare feet.) Where's Jas?

Violet: Jas is sleeping, like I was just about to do. Ohhhh that's sooooo good. If you every want to give up that Huntsman thing, and the Wrestling you could make a mint as a masseuse.

Jaune: It would be a masseur, I don't have boobs.

Violet: (giggling) You could get a pair... you'd look really cute with a pair of modest sized fun-bags.

Jaune: Aha... not EVER going to happen.

Violet: So spill, and keep rubbing.

So Jaune let it all out, ever single thing he was bottling up inside. All his concern about his training, his worries about people finding out who he really was, his failures in combat class, and then finally his ripping on his partner.

Violet: Firstly, are YOU sure about this whole huntsman thing? It's a very dangerous job... and it seems to be causing you a huge amount of stress. It almost seems worse than your debut match two years ago.

Jaune: I'm not sure anymore.

Violet: You known that Mom and Dad would be over-joyed if you gave that insanity up, and just put everything into your in ring career...

Jaune: I know they would...

Violet: As for that other stuff... I think Jas would be better to give you some GOOD advice.

Jaune: And what advice would you give me?

Violet: Combat Class, drop the weapons and let go... completely. No pulling punches, or hits... it's not... how did dad use to describe what we do?

Jaune: A Brutally Beautiful Ballet of Implied Violence.

Violet: You know as well as I did, one miss timed step, one trip, or even being a little overzealous can really cause unintentional damage... so my opinion is just let everyone in that combat class thing see how hard you can REALLY hit.

Jaune: You think it's that simple?

Jasmine: (Walking out of her room yawning) Vi is there any Mistrallin Take-out left? Jaune? What are you...

Violet: He need a place to crash and vent.

Jasmine: Vent? What's wrong?

Jaune: Had a little incident with my partner. Just wanted to get some space...

Futa on Male idea: During initiation, Pyrrha convinces Jaune that the quickest way to unlock his aura was for him to suck her cock and swallow her cum. To her shock and surprise, it actually works.

Pyrrha gasped as she leaned against a nearby tree for support. Staring between her legs, she watches her new partner, Jaune, inhaling her fat 11in futa cock like a pro under the guise of the method to unlock his aura. A cruel prank she' knew, but seeing his thin lips, boyish face, and kind nature, she had to act fast before some other girl got to him first. And boy did he make the lie worth it.

"Oh Gods yes, just like that jaune" she complimented, her eyes closed content from the suction and wetness from his mouth.

The boy in question pulled away briefly, pre-cum and saliva bridging his mouth and her cock. He quickly licked the sides of her head clean of pre-cum and ran his tongue along its length like an ice cream cone. He stopped and stared into her eyes before placing two of his fingers on her head.

"Jaune," She asked "What are doing?"

Her question was soon answered when he gently pulled her urethra part and lapped at the opened hole earning a yelp from the spartan.

"Oh GODS, HOw are you so good at this!?"

Jaune stopped and glanced to the side, clearly desiring not to say.

*oh well* She thought, *I have time to figure it all over the next four years*

She perked up suddenly, hearing footsteps behind them. Glancing from their hiding spot, she saw two beowolves prowling the area behind them, sniffing the air and trying to locate them. Realizing their situation, Pyrrha tried to warn her partner of the eminent danger they faced but instead yelped audibly as Jaune took to deep-throating her once more. This time with more vigar. The grimm must have heard her cause they jerked their heads in her direction.

"Jaune!" She hissed, "Stop...b...b...beowolves..."

He didn't hear her warning, focusing solely on pleasing her and her raging cock. She threw a hand over her mouth in an attempt to muffle herself. Looking back at the grimm, she saw them stalking closer towards them.

Pyrrha's eyes fluttered, sensing her climax approaching fast.

"jaune....Oh JAune..."She groaned loudly no longer caring about the grimm behind them.

She wrapped both hands around his head and began thrusting hard into his mouth, saliva and pre-cum flying all over the sides of his face. Jaune's eyes widened when she started hammering into his mouth, her girth and length making it hard and hard to breathe. He slapped her thigh in an attempt to get her attention, but proved to be futile as she couldn't hear him over her own pleasure. Pyrrha shoved him to the base of her cock and hunched over him, her thrusts small and rapid as held him in place for her on coming orgasm.

"FUCK FUCK FUCK! I SWEAR WHEN THIS INITIATION IS OVER I'M GONNA FUCK YOUR TINY LITTLE ASS SO HARD YOU'LL NEVER BE A HUNTSMAN!" She screamed, giving one final thrust into his throat. pushing him down the base.

"FUCK...I'M CUMMING" She shrieked, unloading a torrent of cum into her partner's mouth.

Below her, Jaune gulped down as much girl cum as he could. The only issue was the volume she released. Being a celebrity meant she had barely any time to herself, and was pent up for months. So when she came, she came buckets into his mouth, filling it in a matter of seconds causing him to choke. Every time he tried to pull away she pulled back in, locking him in a secured bear hug to prevent him from escaping til she had enough.

"Y....You..have to drink it all, or you won't unlock your...*pant* Aura" She lied once more, not noticing that his eyes started rolling back in his head.

Once her orgasm showed signs of stopping, she pushed Jaune away gently, and slide her cock out his throat. Once she completely unsheathed herself from this throat, she marveled at her handy work. A waterfall of cum poured from his mouth with small streams leaking from his nose as another exist, his cerulean blue eyes were rolled back in his head from the lack of oxygen, and his armor and hoodie were stained with cum.

Pyrrha clasped both hands over her mouth at what she's done, feeling even more guilty when he fell to the ground coughing up cum lodged in his throat.

"I'm sorry...." she whispered, cheeks red from embarrassment

Suddenly remembering the grimm threat, she looked over to their previous position seeing them long gone. Seemingly scared off by her loud scream of relief.

Even more embarrassed, she turned back to Jaune. muttering a quick chant, she saw his body get engulfed in a white glow, the sign of his aura being unlocked. Putting her on her best smile, she saw him slowly lift his head, relief on his face.

"Jeez, I thought i was gonna die there" He gasped, before looking at Pyrrha once more "But, did it work?"

Pyrrha was about to confirm his question, but stopped, a smile spread across her face.

"Sorry jaune, it didn't" she lied once more "But I know of another method that;s sure to work~"

Her cock twitched back to life, eager to get a task of the boys rear.
