Jaune Spent All Night Playing And Re-playing The RE8 Demo, Getting Hyped Up For Tall Vampire Ladies.

Jaune "Ready to die for anybody" Arc and Winter "Scared to die for everybody' Schnee. IDK how to make it shippy but I thought it was a neat parallel.

jaune's martyr complex mixed with winter's self presverations. winter shows jaune that he doesnt have to be the scapegoat and jaune shows winter its okay to be vunerable

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.

Does this count as Cloak & Stagger approval?

I’d say/hope so.

Kdin smash or pass jaune

Fucking laughed at this

Lewd white knight

Weiss makes jaune wear a collar and a leash

Hammer Knight: Elm reacting to Adrian, and the Cotta-Arcs reacting to meeting Elm.

Elm: BAAABY! *PICKS UP ADRIAN*

Adrian: *BABY GOOS*

Terrra:...

Saph: uum jaune?

Jaune: shes good with babies

May: Why’d you send Blondie to your room?

Robyn: I- I didn’t want him messing with anyone else’s things.

May: You... don’t have a shower in your room though? Wait, do you?

Robyn: *Under her breath* He’ll be plenty wet when I’m done with him...

May:

robyn: I AM NOT A MILF!

jaune: *without his shirt* hey robyn. i was wondering of you had a place i could shower.

robyn:... oh my gods. i am a milf

jaune: what was that?

robyn: nothing just uh showers are over there. *points*

jaune: thanks.

If you’ll excuse some hopeful guesswork. What do you do when you have an infection or parasite? You get a fever to burn it out.

Seriously, Cinder can outright incinerate people and make glass from dirt and I’m meant to believe the Grimm arm that can get sliced off with a sword will be an overwhelming issue once Cinder realized she should want it gone?

Even if they want to play it so she can’t handle it all alone, if the arm can pull that Midnight stuff and keep her from getting rid of it completely, I’d still peg it as Cinder being able to resist it overtaking her. She might be the only person able to resist so directly.

And them we can see Cinder learning to ask for help and we can get the Ruby/Cinder/Jaune scene we need.

But yeah, that’s just my hopeful thinking...

Feeling somewhat satisfied that I called the “Grimmified Cinder” stuff but also sad knowing she’ll probably go Grimm at the end of Vol 8 and it will probably take forever to turn her back. Also turning her back will likely result in her death. Sadness.

Councilman Arc AU: Juniper Arc had dealt with plenty of trouble caused by her eight children, but honestly, how is she meant to handle the first lady of Menagerie calling her up hoping to sneak a marriage arrangement over their children's heads?

Mama Arc had to deal with a lot of things over her life, particularly ever since she became a mother. The shenanigans of her children, worrying about her only son, especially once he all but fell into his role as councilman of Vale.

She could take solace that Salem promised her she would take care of him, that he would not be harmed.

Though she was not quite prepared for a call from Menagerie, from Kali Belladonna, no less!

“Ah, Mrs Arc, I presume,” the cat lady greeted her jovially, a twinkle in her amber eyes.

“Hello, Mrs Belladonna,” the mother of eight barely got out, blindsided and barely prepared for this. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“Just call me Kali! And...well, I wanted to know if your son is single right now.”

Now the woman was alarmed. What did she want with her son?? “Yes, he is, but why do you ask?”

“I have a daughter. Single as well.”

Ah, that was a relie- wait.

“Are you suggesting what I think you are suggesting?”

“Maybe?” the First Lady of Menagerie replied playfully. “I do want to set the two up for a date.”

Mrs Arc was still suspicious. “For what reason?”

“Can you imagine the grandkitties?”

Oh.

Oh!

“You and I will get along ju~st fine,” the matriArc laughed.

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.

She did report her treatment to the authorities.

Rhodes was an authority. Do you think Cinder was allowed to leave the hotel? For all we know she could get zapped if she goes 10 feet out the front door. How many people do you think she actually got to talk to?

It’s interesting to watch people scramble for excuses for Rhodes so much that it somehow pushes back on young Cinder for actually daring to rise up against her abusers.

They’d rather blame a child for her circumstances and her tragic past than a grown adult who failed to be a protector. “Cinder shouldn’t have done this. Cinder should have run away/taken the collar off on her own/reported her treatment to the authorities.”

It’s just interesting...
