What’s That Rule About A Pawn Getting To Become A Queen Or A Knight?

What’s that rule about a pawn getting to become a queen or a knight?

They need to get to the other side of the board first...

My Cinder obsessed brain struggles between the idea that Cinder is important to Salem’s plans more than we think given how Salem backpedals her behavior to make sure Cinder stays loyal to her vs the idea that destiny as stated by the show’s thesis is a myth and Salem chose Cinder because like Hazel, she was perfect to mold into a destiny for her needs.

Sometimes, it really feels like Cinder is important in some way and that Salem chose her for a reason. But in earlier eps on v8, that idea feels contradicted by the “more than a pawn, but not a player” sentiment. So which is it?

I was wondering what this ship was called, My guesses were either Ladybug Knight or Lan-cat-ster. Crimson Knightshade sounds better though. I’d say Scarlet Knightshade, but that should probably be Velvet instead of Ruby.

Crimson Knightshade: Ruby and Blake arguing about the perfect birthday gift for Jaune.

ALRIGHT!!! (YOSHA!!!)

————————————————————

Anonymous asks: The Rose, the Kitty, and the Knight (RWBY)

————————————————————

*Jaune is simply walking down the halls of Beacon, until he hears an argument*

Jaune (leaning his head in closer to Team RWBY’s door): …Huh?

Ruby (yelling): …He wouldn’t want a dead mouse, Blake!

Blake (also yelling): …Okay, fine! How the entire “Ninja of Love” series?!

Ruby: That’s filth, Blake!

Blake: That’s not filth! That’s literature at its finest! I’m sure Jaune would appreciate it!

Ruby: What Jaune would TRULY appreciate is an additional upgrade to his already awesome weapon: Crocea Mors!

Blake: How would you know?

Ruby: As a weapon enthusiast: I should know!

Blake: What Jaune truly deserves is a lot of loving! I also should know!

Ruby: True, but it shouldn’t be from somebody who takes reference from a filthy book!

Blake: Hey! Don’t call my-

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*

Ruby: …I’ll get it. *Opens the door, and Ruby’s surprised to see Jaune there* J-Jaune! Can…I do anything for you?

Jaune (chuckling): …May I come inside? Sounds like you and Blake were having an important conversion.

Ruby (blushing): Wait! You were-

Blake: Of course! Come inside!

Ruby (angrily): BLA-

*Jaune walks inside*

Jaune: So, uh…what’s this about?

Blake: We were talking about-

Ruby (attempting to cover Blake’s mouth): Don’t say- MMPH!!!

Blake (covering Ruby’s mouth): …The perfect birthday gift for you. *Blushes*

*Ruby also blushes, Jaune also blushes hearing this*

Jaune (shocked): …Oh…well, um…to…be to honest, I don’t need you two to get me the “perfect birthday gift” for me, because I already have what I want.

Blake: O-Oh? And what’s that?

Ruby (unmuffling herself): Yeah! What’s that Jau- MMPH!

*Jaune kisses Ruby on the lips, then kisses Blake on the lips, causing both girls to blush massively*

Jaune: It’s you two! Ruby…Blake…you two are the perfect gifts I could ever want! I don’t care what you get me, so long as I make you two the happiest people on Remnant!

*Ruby and Blake, hearing this, IMMEDIATELY tackle Jaune onto the ground, pelting his face with kisses*

Blake: J-Jaune!

Ruby: So, um…we’re your…

Jaune (chuckling): My perfect gifts? Yes! I don’t need- *Gets muffled by Blake* Mmph?

Blake (blushing): Anything…?

Ruby (blushing): All you need it Blake and I, r-right?

*Jaune doesn’t say anything, but nods*

Blake (happily): Oh, well…Ruby, I think exactly what I should give him~…

Ruby (happily): Oh? And what’s that, Blake?

*Blake unmuffles Jaune, then strips herself naked. Ruby, seeing this, also strips herself as well*

Jaune (shocked): W-Whoa! H-Huh…?

Blake: Jaune, please…

Ruby: T-Take your early birthday gifts…as…as early as possible~.

*Jaune obliges, then the trio spends the rest of the night doing “stuff” together, until they fall asleep happily on Ruby’s bed*

Ruby/Blake (falling asleep): Jaune…

Jaune (falling asleep): Ruby…Blake…as long as I have you two, I…

*The trio falls asleep together*

(Clingy Neo is high-tier)

Jaune: “I need to go watch my sister’s baby.”

Neo: *Signing* ‘But I’m baby.’

As with all Jaune ships, the baby-crazy starts when a girl sees him playing with Adrian.

Honestly, while I get people enjoy that trend for ships. I’d say it’s not so clear cut for Neo.

Neo sees Jaune with Adrian, and it doesn’t do too much. She adores that caring side of him, but whenever she sees him with Adrian, she gets frustrated that the attention is not on her. She’s always frustrated when the attention isn’t on her. She’s never really been big on kids and seeing him with one doesn’t make her jump at the thought of having one. They have a lot of time to live before she heavily considers that, but if she were ever to have them,(eventually) she would be very glad for him to be the father.

I half want it to go like:

JNR Runs into Cinder again while Atlas is going to hell.

Jaune and Cinder end up tug-o-warring the lamp.

Jaune: Seriously! Why are you like this!?

Jinn: Well since you want to know...

And Jaune (and Nora & Ren (and Neo?)) get Tragic Backstory poured into their ears.

Could even play the long game with it, have it shown that they get told about it in the middle of action, but save anything but reactions and hints to the audience until things calm down again. Heck, you can have Team JNR narrate Cinder’s backstory to Team RWBY (and the audience), even have them still keeping some things hidden.

Jaune: And then, Salem found her...

Nora: Well, before that there was-

Jaune: Salem found her, Nora!

I remember hearing once that Cinder isn’t Ruby’s villain, she’s Jaune’s (and JNPRs as a whole), and I’ve only believed it more since. And having JNR seeing Cinder’s past like RWBY saw Salem’s would pretty much prove it permanently for me.

Sudden thought, think we'll learn Cinder's past in flashbacks like Ren and Nora's? Or that the heroes or one or two heroes will actually be told it or learn of it?

~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: Damn It Guys!! Who Left The Catnip Out Again!? You Know Blake Isn’t Allowed Near It Unsupervised!

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.

Either Scarlet Knight or Lancaster, all three are the types who would tiptoe around for longest, so when they did finally take any given step they’d be starving for it.

which jaune ship in your opinion would have the most sexual tension?
