(Clingy Neo Is High-tier)

I’ll break the mold here and say Ilia/Neo. It can be a play on ‘rocky road’.

It was suggested that I make this its own post. I'm still not sure which ship would be named Rainbow Road though.

Did you ever say what Zwei’s faunus trait is?

Fun fact. Fanaus Zwei as a baby use to bark like an actually dog before he started talking. Taiyang use to joke he had got a dog instead of another kid.

This is what I want from a Team STRQ prequel, this is all I want.

Just give us four sets of like six or eight episodes each, summarizing them going through Beacon. Leave the drama out, I just want the action and hijinks.

Do you think Raven always assumed she was going to be tribe leader, and similar to Weiss took offense to Summer being chosen as leader over her, because she felt like she was meant for the leadership role? Except, unlike Weiss approaching Port and just inquiring about it normally, Raven was super salty and extra about it and snuck into Ozpin's office, so as to confront him when he walks in, swivelling round in his own chair like "So, Professor Ozpin. I'd like to discuss you reconsidering the leader for team STRQ" Or just straight up trying to sneak up and fight him to prove herself as a strong and worthy leader.

And Oz for a while not actually giving her an straight answer and just sort of going with it because it's infinitely entertaining and good training.

well i do now!!

the first time raven sneaks into ozpin’s office, she overshoots the chair turn completely. she’s never actually sat on a chair that swivels like that before and uses way too much force. she recovers pretty quickly, but it doesn’t go unnoticed by ozpin who’s really trying to keep his face neutral and not smile.

(he’s somewhat successful in that.)

raven’s never been good at making convincing arguments, so obviously, it didn’t work. so sneak attacks it is. every other student and even some of the teachers are flabbergasted because you can’t just attack The Headmaster like that, but ozpin’s just like “good morning miss branwen :) i believe your first class of the day is on the opposite side of the campus :)” in the middle of their little fight.

when none of this works, raven turns to looking for information about ozpin. for blackmail reasons. totally something that a leader would do, if you ask her.

she doesn’t find much, other than the mystery of “what is ozpin drinking from his mug”. it’s not coffee, and it’s not tea, that much she knows. her whole plan of blackmailing him is ruined when ozpin just. straight up tells her that it’s hot chocolate. and raven would be much saltier about it if she wasn’t also curious of finding out what the hell hot chocolate even is, and not knowing what hot chocolate is? that’s not something ozpin can stand for.

so the next time raven sneaks into ozpin’s office, ozpin’s ready and he has hot chocolate prepared. and raven would be extra salty, because how dare he know she was coming, but also how dare this drink be so good. so she can’t stay that mad for long, but by gods she tries.

ozpin eventually gives her an straight answer... probably. but by the time that happens, raven has completely forgotten what this all was originally about, that’s how sidetracked she got. the message is still received, sure, and if anyone asks?

raven has never snuck into ozpin’s office for hot chocolate. that has never happened, and she certainly didn’t keep sneaking in after the first time just for that reason. nope, no sir.

Pyrrha: Honey, you know that I love you, right?

Nora: Yes.

Pyrrha: And that I cherished our marriage at every waking moment of my life, right?

Nora: Yeah.

Pyrrha: And I wouldn’t trade you for nothing in this whole world no matter what.

Nora:....what’s this about?

Pyrrha, awkwardly: Well I love you and all but....I just wish you could find a different way to tell everyone that we’re adopting a kid. Because your way is.....there are better ways at telling people, sweetie.

Nora:......I don’t follow.

Pyrrha, blushing: Telling everyone that we’re planning on being milfs is a confusing way to say it.

Nora:......I still don’t follow.

Pyrrha, with tea: Thank you for inviting me over for tea, Saphron.

Saphron, smiling: No problem. I thought you might be bored since Jaune is our drinking with the boys. How’s the tea?

Pyrrha: It’s really good. It’s actuallymy favorite kind.

Saphron: Yeah, Jaune told me.

Pyrrha: Excuse me, where’s the bathroom?

Saphron: Down the hall to he left.

Pyrrha: Thank you. *walks away*

Saphron: *sips her tea*

Pyrrha’s scroll: *DING*

Saphron, curious: Hmm? Wonder whose that.

*Saphron checks the scroll to see a text message from Jaune*

Jaune, whose clearly drunk: Imma kick your ass when we get home.

Saphron, choking: What the hell?! He’s gonna do WHAT?! What the fuck!? Did he actually send that?! Oh hell no! I’m going to kick his—

Jaune, texting back: *lick 👅

Saphron: Oh......okay then. He’s going to lick her ass. *sighs in relief* That scared me for moment.

Saphron: *starts sipping her tea peacefully*

Saphron: *processing the information*

Saphron:.........*eyes widening before choking on her tea again, this time hot tea spewing out of her nose*

Saphron, choking: JESUS FUCKIN CHRIST! *coughs* OH GOD! DID HE REALLY JUST SENT THAT?! OH GOD! I WISH I CAN UNREAD THAT! *coughs* OH FUCK! *starts pouring alcohol into tea* Just forget what you read, Saph. Just forget about it. Save it for therapy.

Yang: Jaune, your whole family is kinda badass.

Jaune: Ha ha. Yeah, I like to think so.

Yang: And I’m a badass...

Jaune: Well, yeah. That was never in question.

Yang: So I’m gonna be in your family!

Jaune: You’re gonna- Yang that’s not how that works.

Mama Arc: *From the other room* It’s how I ended up here!

Headcanon. Yang likes stories so she'll jaune tell her stories about his great grandfather and other arc stories

What do people always say about leaving gold in the tags?

I’m still bitter we never got a definitive map of Beacon.

I want to know the exact spot where Cinder would make a cluster of stone domes with maiden-magic for children to live in.

(Based on an Idea I heard)

But Cinder goes off from the Protagnists, but instead of being alone she starts an ACTUAL Orphanage

As much as I would love that, who is gonna trust Cinder Fall with all these kids? Would redeemed Cinder, who learned the extent of the damage she caused to Emerald and Mercury, want to trust herself around kids even?

However I would find it humorous if Cinder saw a Mistral orphanage that engaged in that shady shit, took down the people responsible, realized the kids have nowhere to go and just showed up at one of the heroes' doorsteps with a bunch of kids like "I need to find trustworthy homes where these kids won't be exploited asap. Help."

She could just sit on his shoulders and use him as a sniping perch.

Put Jaune and Ruby’s marketing poses together because Lancaster Rights 😌

Blake: I AM THE NIGHT!

Jaune: And I’m the... knight?

Isnt it ironic that canonically that blake trained in ninjistu. One the most graceful fighting styles cannot dance, but jaune arc the person who was considered one of the most clumsiest people in beacon, can dance

"Of course, she may regain her former partner very soon, when/if Winter defects."

This is Ciel erasure.

Still a fun idea though.

So we sure do have a lot of potential defectors this volume..

I mean the Ace Ops obviously, who are looking increasingly likely to defect all together.. but not everyone will be so lucky as to have a whole team that defects with them.

Penny already defected, and has essentially been fighting without a dedicated team or partner ever since. Of course, she may regain her former partner very soon, when/if Winter defects.

Then we have Emerald, who is almost definitely about to defect, and who has just been split up from her former partner.

And she may even be joined by Neo, who’s been looking equally uncomfy with her situation of late. Which could give us four newly minted heroes in need of a team to call their own...

Anyway what I’m saying is there is a golden opportunity for the v8 defection squad to get together and form team WEPN (weapon).

Because really.. can you imagine how terrifyingly intense they would be together??

They’d just be one big bundle of severe emotional trauma wrapped in a desperate need to feel useful... <3
