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.
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?
“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...
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.
Apparently according to The Grimm Campaign (I haven't watched it yet) Qrow is exactly that, he’s a well known, celebrity Huntsman.
I’ve seen a few people on here justify people not recognizing him on sight by comparing him to Tony Hawk, you know the name but not the face, or you don’t recognize him unless he’s doing Hunter stuff.
Glynda should have equivalent levels of fame, even if she’d realistically be known more for being Deputy Headmistress of Beacon.
Other than that, it’d have to be filed under ‘when would they talk about that’ like @pugsanity brought up. Like, how often do you just talk about famous people with the people you hang out or live with?
I find it weird that there aren't any celebrities in RWBY.
Sure, Pyrrha was a known fighter but only Weiss knew about her because she cares about upper class/talented people.
Where are all the famous singers and writers? Surely someone wrote Blake's favorite books.And why don't more people document Grimm species? The only memorable book that talks in detail about that is the one about the apathy, and that was just a farm log record.
There should be tons of famous authors that are/were famous hunters, yet we have no records of their specific adventures.
And what about music bands? You're telling me there aren't any huntsmen/singer idol groups out there? Team SSSN would make a great boyband!
Its like anyone that's influential/important is either a criminal, in the military, or a politician, and any form of artistry is relegated to "common" people and not talked about.
What would this be?
Dragontamer?
Trouble Students?
Study Hall?
Lesson Plan?
Yang: *Being Super Thirsty*
Jaune: I NEED AN ADULT!
Goodwitch: *Thirsty Milf* Yes?~
Jaune: Oh no! *Gets dragged off to Goodwitch’s office by Yang and Glynda*
Not saying it wouldn’t be hot & hilarious to watch that, it definitely would be.
...But it’d be amazing to do this with Emerald. Em gets a reverse-Cinder in her head. Pyrrha has to speed-run Emerald a face-turn to go hunt some gloomy Arc booty.
I would go for Cinder, but the concept has been done semi-commonly.
Last pick would be Weiss, based solely on the amount of thirsty effort Pyrrha would need to talk Weiss into it.
Pyrrha: Come on Weiss! Just once... one... one night! So I can rest in peace, probably. It’ll be like sleeping in late. Like a weird dream. You probably won’t even remember it!
Weiss: My body would remember it!
Pyrrha: He-he..Well, possibly... *Remembering Arc Dick*
Weiss: *Intrusively thinking of Arc Dick* Gah! H-How is it so- When did you get to look at it!? *Red-faced*
Pyrrha: Whenever I got the chance to. Dorm life was a glorious hell, Weiss. A hell I’m still in for every night that Knight isn’t in me!
Pyrrha’s love/lust is so strong that she refused to die without telling Jaune how she really feels....and getting her cheeks clapped by said blond dork.
So her soul comes back to the world of the living and binds with one of her friend’s body to be able to survive.
Now it wouldn’t be a problem if it was a friend like Ruby (who has a crush on Jaune), or Yang (who wants to bang Jaune), or even Nora (who would happily sleep with Jaune if it helped Pyrrha), but no.
Instead Pyrrha’s soul gets stuck in the body of one Lei Ren. Her one other male friend.
Pyrrha grabs her new round and soft, bubble butt and smiles. Oh well, She’ll work with what she’s got.
All three of them, independent of each other, keep gold bullion hidden somewhere, in case Jacques either disowns them or suddenly runs the SDC into the ground.
The only reason Weiss couldn’t take her card being blocked is because her gold is under the floorboards of some piano bar in Mantle.
Whitley gets out least, but he does have a safety deposit box under a fake name.
Winter straight up buried a trunk of it in the tundra, you’d have to get to the spot, likely fighting Grimm to get to it, then carve into 4 feet of snow and permafrost to get to it.
List of Things I Suspect the Schneeblings have Perfected:
Converting card into cash so their father cannot trace their purchases
Stock market
Safety hazards of dust and analysis of their molecular components
Politics – each to their own
Lying while smiling
You have to respect the fact that the entire FNDM just agreed Fem!Jaune would be tall and stacked like PowerGirl. But I forgot how cute Fem!Ren usually is.
He’s already tall, and tal and stacked is a wonderful combo. Also, Ren is cute, period.
(that last opinion is sponsored by Nora Valkyrie)
Seems like the best way to put it.
Jaune is a pushover and a support-main.
He’s a Service Switch Himbo.
The guy is just happy to be there.
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.
