Taiyang: Yang, Where?

Why not start basic. How/When do you imagine them meeting?

I mean there’s a couple ways I enjoy it. Thw first one I think quite a few people have mentioned this way already.

They could meet after the fall at some point.

Jaune finds out Neo really only wants revenge. She’s convinced by the group to join their side because really it is Cinder’s fault. She continues on her revenge thing for a while. Then comes these late evenings, where its just Neo and Jaune, they communicate, and he tries to get through to her that he has gone through the same thing. The only thing it managed to do is get him in a bad situation and someone he cares about hurt.

She’s stubborn though, and she only cared about one other person. It doesn’t get through to her. He doesn’t stop, to her annoyance. She keeps her distance from the group, but she slowly gets dragged in by them to hangout. She ends up hanging around JNR more, however it is still awkward.

They manage to get her to smile, not a smirk but a genuine smile. She starts noticing and denying how close she is getting with them, specifically Jaune. It’s when she notices one day that as they’re all walking together she skipped forward and latched onto Jaune’s arm. She doesn’t know how long she was holding it for, but when she realizes what she is doing she jerks away.

She goes back to her distancing again. Jaune gets the worst of it. This goes on for a bit as he attempts to figure out what happened. Sometime later in a battle, Neo is too eager for a fight, and it leads to Jaune getting knocked out of it. For the first time in a long while, Neo’s heart jumps out of fear. She can’t control herself as she finds her body running towards him and holding him.

It’s at that moment she realizes what Jaune was trying to convince her. When the fight is clear and over with she stays by him until he’s better. When he comes to Neo is there to greet him, and she’s so ecstatic he is alright. She jumps in his lap, and he groans of pain. She smile at that before getting angry at him for making her worry. The next thing she knows shes kissing him, hard, and finally admits to herself that she cares about someone else. She jumps off his lap afterwards, and leave the room with him in shock. If he wants her, he’s gonna have to stand up and get her.

The other way is just that they meet up when Neo was pretending to be a student during the festival. And I won’t go to big into detail on that.

But this blog exists in it’s own universe cause I probably will reference being at beacon a bit.

This shot is somehow able to perfectly mix genuinely Menacing Future villainess and Pissed off Edgy teen Energy.

THE LÄMP

“How could you be so broken inside? To take so many lives...all with that damn smile on your face?!” - Jaune to Cinder, v5

Oh god but if Jaune actually knew the answer to that question tho...

Emerald: You're our slave now, (Smacks Jaune's ass) so move it!

Jaune: (Immediately turns around to Emerald) Did you just smack my butt?

Emerald: Uh, well...

Jaune: (Seething) My butt...

Emerald: Okay, I can see you're upset.

Jaune: (Growling) My butt!

Emerald: J-Just calm down for a secomd!

Jaune: MY BUTT!

Emerald: Cinder couldn't prepare me for this.

Jaune: (Lifts Emerald up and bends her over) I'm going to show you how smacking someone on the butt should really feel!

Emerald: And that's how I met your father.

If you use the beta editor you can highlight it and use the paintbucket to color it, there's not a lot of options though. I think you can use hex values if you edit in HTML, but it just seemed like a pain so I never bothered.

how the fuck do you color the text??

I tend to be a crackshipper to my core, I think any ship can sail if it’s built up right. But even I don’t like everything.

I can respect other people’s tastes, I don’t think I’ve tossed Cinder in when talking to you, but I’ll try not to in the future.

Personal quick rant again—-

Imma keep it real with you guys

I’ve seen some additions to my posts and comments that involve KnightF*ll and Sp*ceCream

Cinder is a believable, interesting villain with an understandably traumatic childhood. But…

You’d think as a SilentKnight shipper I’d be open to Cinder shipping but that’s a hard pass for me

I know she was justified in all of the pre-Vol.1 things Cinder did / went through, but killing Amber, Pyrrha, and a random woman just for her clothes and money in Vol.6 really hinder that redemption arc for me

I’m not against Cinder righting her wrongs, but, I especially don’t love her being shipped with Jaune, right after she killed Pyrrha and traumatized him continuously at Haven

We’re going to find out that Schnee Manor can detach from Atlas and fly under it’s own power.

Whitley will land it near the crater long enough to get the Mantle refugees on board, and so we can have a tower defense episode.

Winter and the defection squad will defend it from the air until they crashland in Willow’s depression-garden.

Ironwood will be one of the only people on Atlas when Salem gets there.

Theory.

The Schnee Family mansion could become a sanctuary for the people of Atlas fleeing Salem

Look at the size of it. Look at the towers in the foreground and back ground. Assuming the Schnee's like to keep their mansion architecture symmetrical, the Mansion is as possibley wide as it is long. If not a huge square block.

I don't doubt for a second that the Schnee Mansion has its own security system that can run on generators in case of a power outage. It may even have its own hard light shield. Something to be expected of a company that not only produces hard light dust but the technology to use it.

And my other theory is it won't be Weiss who instigated it, but...

Whilst watching that broadcast, there was a facial expression here, (I can't remember the exact word off top of my head but I remember at the time thing. 🤔 Wtf, is that?. I think it was something about helping)

I'm also thinking about the huge point that had been made that whitley was left behind by his sisters, the staff aren't there, he's practically by himself. (I'm of the belief willow is sobering up and trying to practice her weapon/summoning)

Whitley is very lonely. He's also seeing that the army cannot do what huntsmen can. He has the resources at his disposal.

I can see him being the one to try to gets his sister's attention and telling her.

"We can use the mansion as a safe haven. Open the doors.

And Willow coming down and agreeing.

Whitley can finally feel like he's worth something other than a pawn of his father.

Not as a huntsmen. But in the spirit of one, helping those who need it.

~Haven, after the ‘Battle of’~

Yang: Hey Weissy, Have you noticed Vomit-Boy looking a bit...

Weiss: Handsome? Muscular? Noble? I have, but it’s hardly the time or place to point that out, Yang.

Yang: ...was gonna say ‘tired’ or ‘stressed out’, but...

Weiss: >///<

Yang: Got something on your mind there Weiss-cream?

Pyrrha: *Gleeful giggling*

~Argus, Cotta-Arc Residence~

Weiss: *Playing with Adrian* Such a widdle cutie.

Pyrrha: Weiss~ *Pops into the Schnee’s body*

Weiss: Huh!? *Watches a her own arms scoop up Adrian and hug him*

Pyrrha: Weiss I need one! I need an Arc baby if I’ll ever get to pass on!

Weiss: What! What happened to ‘just one night’! Babies are way more than ‘a weird dream’!

Pyrrha: I’ll just get hungrier the longer I starve Weiss!

Weiss: *Schnee panicking noises*

Horny Ghost Pyrrha: *Posses Weiss and tries to get her to sleep with Jaune*

Weiss: *Struggling* MUST. RESIST. BANGING. ARC!

Horny Ghost Pyrrha: Do it Weiss~

Yandere Pyrrha AU

Pyrrha: i’ve been feeling like we’re not as close anymore so i got us friendship bracelets.

Jaune: okay.

Pyrrha, handcuffing them together: there you go.

Good points on all fronts. A ton of people say Jaune should have a sidearm, but it just works better if it has an emotional meaning instead of just a practical one. It would be cute if Neo gave Jaune a little boot knife or something.

For Neo, if you were restarting it tomorrow, I’d say to just have her grab a spare cane of Roman’s, or spare parts? Have her rebuild it into a heavy derringer or flintlock thing, would suit her aesthetic more.

I have a question or rather a wish for a secondary weapon for jaune from volume 1 practically ... so if jaune and neo are together I couldn't teach him to use something like a dagger or a hidden weapon in his clothes something like the hidden dagger by assasincred (or whatever you type) or a pistol like the RK5 from COD

I agree Jaune could use some kind of variable attacks. Once I started writing for the characters, I realized how limited he can be. However, Jaune’s weapons have followed his character growth pretty well. 

Vol 1-3, Jaune began with the hand-me-down that his great great grandfather used to ‘fight in the war’ because he didn’t go to a combat school to make his own weapon. He faked his way into Beacon. He had to fake his weapon too, and probably snagged the one thing on the wall he could use. 

Vol 4-6, Jaune uses Miló and Akoūo to reinforce his shield and armor. The weapon can now become a longsword, focusing all of his defense into an offensive weapon. Why? Because he didn’t care about what happened to himself anymore, he cared about fighting Cinder again. He even says in the Vol 5 finale that his life didn’t matter anymore. 

Vol 7-8, we see Jaune shift away from offense (after his talk at Pyrrha’s statue with her mother) and focus on leading his team and defense. His shield can now cover 3 people easily, the gravity dust can repel anyone who gets close, and the shield grenade can protect the people he cares about that he can’t reach in time. 

If anything, I feel like Jaune might take Vine’s suggestion in extending his aura into his weapons. One possibility being what Qrow does. We saw in Vol 4 that Qrow can swing his sword at Tyrian and a building a dozen yards away loses its roof. And those gusts of air as Jaune swung his sword to Pyrrha’s videos might be the start of that

As for Neo  There’s this scene in my fic where she and Jaune go to meet Lil’ Miss Malachite. In my original version, Neo buys an ice dust pistol from her, expecting to have to deal with Cinder’s fire attacks. While expanding her range considerably, it didn’t feel right for her character. I’ve been considering incorporating a dust launcher like Roman had to her repertoire but we’ll see what Atlas has in store for her
