What Do People Always Say About Leaving Gold In The Tags?

Why do I imagine Jaune pulling out a perfectly forged fake fed id, like he just made one in case he needs it?

Abuse of the Uniform

Officer Yang: You’re under arrest Vomit Boy!

Jaune, playing along: Oh, and why might that be officer?

Yang, winking: For being hella cute~

Jaune, flirtatiously: Oh no~ Surely there’s ‘something’ I can do to make this all go away…?

Yang, leaning in: Oh, I’m sure we could arrange something…

Jaune: Unfortunately I’m an undercover fed. You’re under arrest for misuse of government-granted authority.

Yang: Ah dammit.

Be nice to Hachishaku-sama, she’s not as tall but she can run as fast as a van.

Lady Alcina probably can’t do that...

Hachishakusama (8 feet tall demon woman): That's a big mommy~

RE8 Vampire lady (over 9 feet tall): That's a bigger mommy~

I’ve always loved a theory I saw that the vault isn’t even in Beacon either.

It’s in the Emerald Forest Ruin.

There’s some logic to support this, but it isn’t concrete:

The relic of choice getting hidden right under the spot where where partnered students choose their teammates.

The relic draws grim to it. The forest has more grim than we ever saw in the wild in Anima, for instance. But it would be regularly cleared out by students training in it.

The forest is wired up with cameras, supposedly just to monitor initiation, but Grimm Eclipse up and calls it a security system.

It’s not perfect, but I do love the idea.

Beacon’s Vault

So we know that the Relic of Choice is hidden differently to other relics, but I think I may have an idea on whereabouts it may be, or at least the door to it.

There’s a lot we can discern from the Vault under Haven Academy and later Atlas Academy. Each Vault is accessible via a tall, thin trapezium door which is unlocked by the touch of a maiden.

The Spring Vault is that of a dreamlike desert landscape, a single biome that stretches to the Horizon - a pocket dimension of sorts. The fact that it is a desert is to make it abundantly clear that this is not part of Haven, nor even Mistral.

I would say it’s easiest to assume that Atlas and Vacuo’s vaults have similarly contrasting biomes to the kingdoms they’re housed in - for example, Atlas’s may be a green forest, while Vacuo’s might be comprised of waterfalls and lakes. Being magical, these vaults probably aren’t beholden to the whims of time and therefore likely stay as they are, year around.

You’re probably wondering where I’m going with this.

Each vault is an almost unnatural biome.

Each vault stands out against its home kingdom.

The vaults probably don’t change based on natural-world time.

Now where have we seen something like that around Beacon?

Oh yeah, Forever Fall.

There’s a place in Vale that is noted to literally be always Fall. Not beholden to the passage of seasons or time, for no particular explained reason. (Unless…)

Volume 3 shows us fall, and its trees aren’t as bright red as Forever Fall’s are - they’re a more natural orange. Volume 1 makes a point of showing us this place twice, once in the Black Trailer and again in the Jaunedice arc, and yet never explains why it’s how it is. Jaunedice could have just as easily (if not more easily due to budget) occurred in the Emerald Forest again. But they choice to show us Forever Fall.

Forever Fall. Beacon’s vault needing the Fall Maiden. Forever Fall looking somewhat more fantasy than the rest of Remnant.

I’m not sure whether Beacon’s vault is located in Forever Fall, or if it is Forever Fall, or if it’s even goddamn open already and has leaked out into Forever Fall, but it’s something to do with goddamn Forever Fall.

Something like her ‘fake huntress’ outfit might be neat.

Excuse me while I figure out a post-redemption Cinder outfit after the Grimm arm has been defeated.

I wanna add more Pyrrha elements to her clothes.

jaune's family found out about the date and decided to get to know his new gf. they might have sort of kidnapped her. but jaune showed up to bail her out of that situation. thing is ruby was embarrassed about being asked if she and jaune were planning on having children and refuses to speak about it. so the girls (with no evidence) decide it must be like something out of a spy movie where jaune saved ruby from his old enemies. how do they treat jaune now, and what's their plan to get more info?

Ruby: (tiny girl) i wanna go home

Jaune: guys you're making her nervous

Cinder still has RWBY and JNPR’s numbers from Undercover Beacon Time. Along with anyone else she talked to.

She says it’s for Intel or whatever but she really just likes having a bigger list of people she ‘knows’.

She may or may not have stolen Oscar’s number while Hazel was pummeling him.

Dorky unprompted pic taking cinder really shows a part of her genuinely thinks she has made connections to people. Lol a real relatable moment for Cinder would be for her to go through her contacts and she there's only like 4 and a half people there

Watts refuses to give her his contact info so she gets it from Hazel and the Contact photo is just a pic of the back of his head because tried to be discreet

Hazel gave Cinder his contact info and his contact photo is him given her a genuine smile and Cinder is spiraling

Tyrian stole her scroll and added his number and the contact photo is a selfie he took and Cinder finds out about it the following day

Emerald and Mercy share a contact because the only one who picks up is Emerald

And Salems contact photo has a bunch of Instagram filters making her look reverent as hell if the contact name is Salem with a crossed out Mom beside it

Bonus Contact names

Watts- Stinky Atlesian long man

Tyrian- Salem Favorite (Tyrian made this his name and somehow locked it in so she can't change it.)

Hazel- Tree Dad

Emerald and Mercury- Those two gremlins

cinder has never had a scroll when she was young, let alone anyone to put into her contacts, so she’s making sure now that she has everyone in there, whether they want it or not.

the pics are mandatory. she’s not just going to have some generic picture there, that’s absurd.

I feel like I need to say this, as I've seen some concerning fandom purity bullshit crossing my dash.

This blog is unapologetically pro AO3.

I support them and all they do, may they continue to do it for decades to come.

Definitely Cinder ‘Scared of Vulnerability’ Fall.

Which jaune ship is this?

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.
