autumn frolicking…. so carefree….

Ruby: Ugh, I've got so many projects I want to do, but I can't work on all of them at the same time.

Blake: Remember Ruby, a dog who chases two squirrels catches none.

Ruby: *Points at Jaune*

Dog Jaune: *Enjoying himself*

Squirrel Weiss: *Sitting on his lap*

Squirrel Pyrrha: *Snuggled up to his side*

Blake: You know he doesn't count.

Jaune Arc fell into ice. That's the last thing he remembered. Now he's in a strange grove with spirits watching him all the time.... He thinks they might be broken.

Team RWBY are faunas researchers who've found the discovery of the century. A human man still alive in ice. It's a contested theory that ancient humans eventually evolved into faunas and with a member of the previously thought extinct species they might just be able to prove it. Now how to get closer to him

(tldr stone age jaune dealing with modern day faunas RWBY being horny on main for him. The spirits must be crazy)

Last Man Standing

The last thing Jaune remembered that cold winter evening was sulking across the ice to get away from his cheating ex-girlfriend. What was supposed to be a romantic night of welcoming in the new year instead became the worst heartbreak of his life, made worse when she called him out as a spineless nobody that no woman would ever want. She also said his hair looked shaggy, which didn't hurt as much as the betrayal itself, but it still stung.

Then everything got fast. Then everything got cold. And then everything got dark.

When he awoke, he took a deep breath through his nose, inhaling a sweet scent of strawberries. His eyes still shut; he leaned forward to get closer to the smell. This earned him a yelp, a slap, and a scream. As his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a girl in a red hood running around the corner. Did she have dog ears?

"Where..." Jaune groaned as he leaned forward, noticing the hot air blowing over him. Though he was still partially frozen in ice, he managed to push his way through the, at best, hard slush of his cocoon. He looked down to see his clothes were soaked. "Ah, man..."

"I'm telling you, Weiss, I know what I saw!"

"Ruby Rose, the specimen has been frozen for at least a thousand years! Even if he did manage to thaw out, he wouldn't... be..."

The two young women stared at Jaune as he twisted his hoodie like a used dishrag, water spilling onto the floor. He turned and saw them, his eyes nearly as wide as theirs as they stared at one another.

For Jaune, he'd never seen anyone like them before! It was like something out of an anime. Two beautiful girls, one with pointed, dog-like ears, while the other had a long and bushy tail twitched back and forth. For them-

"CODE GRAY!" Screamed the tailed girl. She then rushed out of the room, dragging the other girl behind her. The dog-eared one glanced back with sort of sad eyes. None of it sounded good to Jaune, and considering the wailing sirens and flashing lights, he had to get out of wherever he is and fast!

Tossing on his still damp shirt, he made for the exit, accidentally knocking over a poor girl with rabbit ears. He gave a hasty apology as he continued to bolt down the hallway. Unfortunately, this caught more people's attention, and eventually a woman came barreling after him, hand on her beret to keep from flying off her small, round ears. He couldn't see much of her eyes past her designer shades, but what he could see spelled death.

"Incoming!" Jaune looked ahead, flipping backwards as his neck slammed into an extended arm. He gave a hoarse groan as he looked up to see three women towering over him. One was the same woman as before with round ears poking from her beret, the cute appearance contrasting with her snarling scowl. Another had gave a cheeky grin as she leaned forward a bit, showing off her cleavage to her catch, all the while a long, blonde tail swished about.

But the third and final woman gave no hint of any sort of emotion. Neither anger nor joy, but simple indifference. She reached behind her and pulled out a pair of handcuffs, tethered by a thick cable with glowing blue lights that ceased and revealed an opening with the click of a button. Her pointed, red dog-like ears made her look all the more intimidating.

"You're under arrest."

More of this!

Squirrel!Pyrrha: *goes to kiss Jaune before vol3 finale to distract him*

Bunny!Jaune: *reflexively jerks back at the last second*

Squirrel!Pyrrha: *stumbles, shocked and thrown-off, unable to stuff Jaune in a locker*

Squirrel!Pyrrha: Wha-? Jaune? Don’t you…? I…?! But…why?! Why did you pull away, Jaune?

——————————————————————

Jaune’s flashback:

Bunny!Jaune: *trying to open a can of soda*

Bunny!Jaune: Aw, Crap. The tab broke off!

Squirrel!Pyrrha: Let me try!

Squirrel!Pyrrha: *bites the top of the can clean off*

Squirrel!Pyrrha: Here you go! 😁

Bunny!Jaune: 😨

——————————————————————

Back at the vol3 finale:

Bunny!Jaune: I…I just need a minute! I totally want to kiss you, but I need to psych my fragile, delicate lips up for it!

Squirrel!Pyrrha: We don’t have time for this! If I’m going to get my last kiss in before I go confront Cinder alone, we need to do this right now!

Bunny!Jaune: …wait, you’re going to do WHAT?!

Squirrel!Pyrrha: …whoops…

Bunny!Jaune: No way are we doing that!

Squirrel!Pyrrha: Jaune, please, there’s no time! Just kiss me so I can go!

Bunny!Jaune: No! *starts to back away*

Squirrel!Pyrrha: Jaunathon Arc, you get back here and kiss me right now so I can go fight a maiden without regrets!

Bunny!Jaune: *runs away at top rabbit speed* No kisses until you promise not to get yourself killed!

Squirrel!Pyrrha: *chasing after him* Jaune!!

Cinder: *on top of Beacon tower, watching Pyrrha struggle to chase Jaune around the courtyard* The hell’s going on down there?

Ruby: SILVER EYES!!!

Cinder: What the-?!

——————————————————————

Years later…

Bunny!Jaune: …and that’s how my reflexive fear of getting my fragile, delicate face bitten off by Pyrrha’s mighty teeth and jaws prevented her from running to her death!

Squirrel!Pyrrha: I was a teenager who got some terrible advice from the school faculty, okay? Please stop telling people that story! 😭

now that tumblr user exocynraku mentions it, the PO3 rarely dealt or explored their powers.

DOVEWING in the OOTS has more inner conflict and morality regarding her power. Her POVs are alwas tinged with a hint of loneliness and sadness, because of her powers and her alienation from her family and clanmates. But...the PO3 and holly and lion and jay don't really focus on that aspect. instead, the PO3 spends more time on petty clans going ons, Sol and even just the three hating their mom instead of exploring the nuanced responsibilities and new actual alienation they may feel with their powers and the looming knowledge that they are literally more powerful than god.

How are y’all out there? Is everything okay?

A couple lighter thoughts to help balance the angst my brain shot at you.

Number one: I heard a comedy video with a story where this woman saw a squirrel stuck in a well and her solution was to take her husband's shoelaces, eat a full box of popsicles for the sticks, and build a ladder so the squirrel could climb out. My brain combined this with the theory of Peanuts the Hatchetfield pocket squirrel being Tinky's other parent and thinking "Yes, Tinky would definitely do this."

And number two just happened cause I was listening to They're only human from the death note musical and ended up picturing Tinky as Rem and Blinky as Ryuk.

Both of these thoughts are very fun, and I like them a lot. Tho I only got around to drawing something quick for the first one, unfortunately. I do get what you mean by the song, tho. I really really like the idea :D

Regarding Peanuts and the LiB's parents, do we actually know anything about their parents in canon? If they have parents at all? I don’t remember anything about it, though I'm not super on top of all the lore, and I also tend to forget a lot of things. Still a fun topic to think about though

(I'm gonna try to zoom through your asks right now, cuz I have quite the backlog, lol. I wanna get through these before I post other stuff)

the horrifying implications of Cinderpelt as a pawn of Starclan- trying everything she can to unsuccessfully stop her apprentice from leaving because she's terrified of the internalised idea of "failing" her clan and her job due to her impending death, while unaware that the entire Crowpool situation is intentional by Starclan for their own benefit to initiate the Power of Three prophecy and that her death in itself is to be Leafpool's motivation to stay- the idea that the stars, the ancestors and family and friends she devoted her life to always meant for her to die young and hopeless and were willing to manipulate her emotionally for the best outcome for them- is alone a piece of her character that's infinitely more heartwrenching and tragic and interesting than "she actually had a crush on Firestar and she's sad she can't date him :((" and I'm so mad that the latter is her primary legacy instead of any interpretations of her as a character that go beyond boring forbidden romance #17 that was barely even implied to begin with

I don’t pay much attention to the fandom anymore, just kinda wanna post my queue from last year-earlier this year and take a break but sometimes it’s like. Idc whatever discussion’s happening but I think it would be funny to poke Nightheart with a stick because I like him and he’s so vehemently like the brat I acted like as a teenager. They write angry teenagers pretty okay.

Riverstar's Home cats! Small spoiler warning for light discussion of the cats below the cut.

First up is a few redesigns of Dart, Shine, and Flutter because now they aren't just featureless characters that are mentioned once and never again. I really liked Dart's design, so I kept it mostly the same. Shine got a good change, and Flutter had a complete overhaul. I liked Arc's design the way it is, so I didn't change it. The Cats of the Park elders are next, with Owl, Rust, and Midge. Owl's daughter is Finch Song, she's in the next post. After them is a few more CotP, with Magda, Squirrel, Stoat, and Moth. Moth is described as both "soft-spoken" and "cheerful, sparkled with energy", which I thought was a bit strange. Up next is Mist, Night's brother, and Hawk, a rogue who bullies River Ripple and then disappears. I was pleasantly surprised when Mist stayed alive the whole book, he seemed like the perfect candidate to just die at some point. He and Night look very similar. After them is Hollow and Croak, two loners from proto-Riverclan that officially joined. I love Croak's name. And finally after them is four loners from proto-Riverclan that did not end up joining; Whistle, Silver, Sage, and Woodlouse. It was mentioned that Silver was the first one to start decorating the dens with shells and reeds (probably) and other stuff like that, so I gave her an accessory bc if she likes to decorate dens then she would probably like to decorate herself. Found out a little too late that a 'woodlouse' is a roly-poly/pill bug.
