Jaune And Neo Fight, Neo Is Winning Until Jaune Traps Her In A Bear-hug. Jaune Doesn't Know What To Do

Realistically, there's still Councilwoman Camilla, and possibly Robyn, since Jacques got proven a fraud. This is assuming Ironwood will die.

I'm not saying he won't help, I think he really will, I just don't think running the Kingdom would suit him as well as just doing good with the SDC.

One thing I would love for the end of the arc, is seeing Atlas have to land (hopefully not fall but...), and recombine with Mantle as a single city.

Less headcanons and more predictions

Once the whole Salem debacle is done, and assuming mantle is still standing, whit,say first order of business is gonna be to install a far more effective and sturdy heating Infastructure,

Oh yes, I'm sure there is a lot whitley could do with the atlas government (assuming there is an atlas by the end of this volume) to make sure that the infrastructure is upgraded.

In terms of how good their grades were at Beacon, the ranking for team RWBY from best to worst is as follows:

Yang

Weiss

Ruby

Blake

Yang above Weiss, you ask? It’s simple really. Weiss grew up with private tutors pretty much always available to her. Yang, on the other hand, learned how to study on her own to the point that she could make top marks without a ton of effort. Weiss studies intensively, so as to compensate for not having tutors. And it royally pisses Weiss off when after all that extra work, Yang still makes better grades than her. Yang just excels at self-taught stuff. She built a whole-ass motorcycle herself, for Brothers’ sake!

As for Ruby, she sorta has the same studying ability as her sister, but just doesn’t perform as well academically. She was solidly in B’s and C’s territory.

Blake is a little cheating shit gremlin. She will copy off of you. She will plagiarize. She doesn’t have much formal schooling at all, so it’s understandable. She might read a lot, but she reads solely for pleasure. She won’t read shit if it’s for an assignment. Her huntress training skills make up for it, and her team helping her with assignments keeps her head above C-level. She’s very intelligent, she just cannot be bothered with this stuck-up Human academia stuff, she’s here to learn to fight.

Repost to spread. (Not really humor)

I’m not against Ilia getting a bi-awakening,or demi, or whatever. I think it could be done well and be interesting.

...But this AU is already quick and crowded by design, which is fun. But it wouldn’t give Ilia the sustained focus needed for the arc to come off as much more than a handwave.

That’s just what I think though.

Councilman Arc: Ilia honestly wanted to believe in Jaune Arc but her past left her jaded, not near as much as Adam’s had or in the same way but her scars were still there. So after the assassination attempt she takes an assignment for Sienna to be his shadow and gets to see that Jaune really can be trusted. So much so that she begins to wonder if she’s bi.

real talk? I’m not sure if i should actually do this for the AU.

Making Ilia bi-curious, that is.

Let me know, everyone.

I don't know about this Greta, but you know who it'd be fun to see still exists? Deery, faunus tension is lowered so she might not have joined the WF, or she did, but she's Eve's plant in Jaune's office.

(Deery yes, Deery very yes. Cutie patootie deer faunus)

“So, there seems to be a gap in your resume...”

Jaune was currently hiring, as Greta had expressed some desire to retire in the near future. Hence Jaune asking her if she would train her successor.

She accepted, but only if he were to choose her. After all, he was the one to be working with her.

“Ah, that.” Deery, full name Deerdra Glas, was a cutie of a deer faunus, with two small antles growing out of her head. She had a pretty smile, but that mattered little to Jaune, even if it was nice to look at.

What mattered was if she could survive the bureaucratic hell.

“Well, I used to work at a charity, but I felt like it was not worth mentioning, since it was a small one-”

“You worke with the White Fang, didn’t you.” Jaune’s bullshit meters were honed well after weeks of surviving meeting after meeting with political sharks, some of which he really wanted to slap through a fucking wall.

“I worked with the White Fang,” Deery admitted in shame.

“Why are you lying?”

“It’s...” She looked down, sadness in her eyes. “It’s not a good look if I would mention it at a job interview.”

“Well,” Jaune started as his eyebrow raised up. “I made peace with Sienna herself, so that’s no excuse. Apart from that, however, your resume is solid.”

Deery nodded glumly, bracing herself for maybe some encouraging words before being sent away.

“When can you start?”

She didn’t expect that. “Bwuh?!”

He grinned at her, showing some teeth at it turned into an amused smile. “You are the first applicant who doesn’t want to sleep with me, so you are basically a shoo-in for that alone. Add to that your overall qualifications, and you are a fit. So yeah, when-”

“Right away!” she blurted out, beaming from ear to ear. Then she realized what she did, and sat back down. “I mean, if that’s okay...”

He laughed at her enthusiasm. “Maybe tomorrow? Today is already very much in progress, and I need to inform your trainer. trust me, she might look really jaded, but once she gets going with her stories, you’ll struggle not to laugh along.”

Deery laughed genuinely, feeling so much gratitude for the young man before him. “I can’t wait.”

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

“Infiltration successful.”

Deery hated it. She hated that she had to apply with an ulterior motive. She would have liked to get to know Jaune Arc, anyway, the man who made Adam Taurus say “He’s a good human”.

She wnated the job for the job’s sake!

And maybe a little to get closer to Arc, because she thinks he’s cool....

But not for this!

“Thank you, Deery.”

to help someone else get laid!

“I hope you will continue gathering information for me,” Eve said, seeming all too pleased with the situation right now.

“I will delay- i mean, relay as much as I can,” Deery replied, eyes steely and expression much unlike the cutely demure woman from before..

Oh, she hated this....

The fact that they’re all still tinted red in the edit just makes me laugh harder at this.

Salem: GIRLS! COME HERE!

Emerald & Yang: [DANGER]

salem holding emerald and yang like they’re just two disobedient children is exactly what i needed today

“Why do I suddenly feel like I’m in danger?”

Nora secretly switches Jaune’s gummy vitamins for Cum Boosting Pills.

~Beacon, Team RWBY Dorm~

Blake: Girls, girls, hey... Are anyone else's clothes just really itchy? I think, I think I should just leave them off. Just for time in the dorm, you know?

Weiss: BLAKE! STOP! BE DECENT!

Blake: *Shirt already gone, trying to shake her pants off without standing* We should all be doing this, sisterhood, no secrets. I don’t care if my friends can see my ears or my ass or my piercings.

Yang: *Covering Ruby’s eyes* Weiss! Stop squealing and close the curtains! Wait, what’s pierced?

Ruby: Yang let go of my face!

Blake: Ruby please. You need to call Team JNPR over. We’ll need to cuddle them for, for warmth when it gets cold tonight...

Weiss: BLAKE LET GO OF ME!

Blake: *Tugging on Weiss’s skirt* TELL THEM THEY NEED TO BRING FOOD WITH THEM! NIGHTS ARE WAY LONGER DURING WINTER!

Yang: Damn it guys!! Who left the catnip out again!? You know Blake isn’t allowed near it unsupervised!

Blake: *On cloud 69*

Yang: I MEAN HE WAS SO HUGE! I WAS CERTAIN IT WOULDNT FIT. ITS WAS LIKE BAM!

Tai: i wished you wouldnt talk about your boyfriend at the table
