I Miss Chibi...

I’d like to imagine this being the first time most of them have heard Neo speak.

Jaune asks Neo to marry him in front of everyone Neo says yes while crying tears of joy and hugging him what does everyone do

ruby: uuuh

weiss: awww

blake: cute

yang: *crying*

nora: also cryinh

ren: *stoic

I don't know about this Greta, but you know who it'd be fun to see still exists? Deery, faunus tension is lowered so she might not have joined the WF, or she did, but she's Eve's plant in Jaune's office.

(Deery yes, Deery very yes. Cutie patootie deer faunus)

“So, there seems to be a gap in your resume...”

Jaune was currently hiring, as Greta had expressed some desire to retire in the near future. Hence Jaune asking her if she would train her successor.

She accepted, but only if he were to choose her. After all, he was the one to be working with her.

“Ah, that.” Deery, full name Deerdra Glas, was a cutie of a deer faunus, with two small antles growing out of her head. She had a pretty smile, but that mattered little to Jaune, even if it was nice to look at.

What mattered was if she could survive the bureaucratic hell.

“Well, I used to work at a charity, but I felt like it was not worth mentioning, since it was a small one-”

“You worke with the White Fang, didn’t you.” Jaune’s bullshit meters were honed well after weeks of surviving meeting after meeting with political sharks, some of which he really wanted to slap through a fucking wall.

“I worked with the White Fang,” Deery admitted in shame.

“Why are you lying?”

“It’s...” She looked down, sadness in her eyes. “It’s not a good look if I would mention it at a job interview.”

“Well,” Jaune started as his eyebrow raised up. “I made peace with Sienna herself, so that’s no excuse. Apart from that, however, your resume is solid.”

Deery nodded glumly, bracing herself for maybe some encouraging words before being sent away.

“When can you start?”

She didn’t expect that. “Bwuh?!”

He grinned at her, showing some teeth at it turned into an amused smile. “You are the first applicant who doesn’t want to sleep with me, so you are basically a shoo-in for that alone. Add to that your overall qualifications, and you are a fit. So yeah, when-”

“Right away!” she blurted out, beaming from ear to ear. Then she realized what she did, and sat back down. “I mean, if that’s okay...”

He laughed at her enthusiasm. “Maybe tomorrow? Today is already very much in progress, and I need to inform your trainer. trust me, she might look really jaded, but once she gets going with her stories, you’ll struggle not to laugh along.”

Deery laughed genuinely, feeling so much gratitude for the young man before him. “I can’t wait.”

------------------------

“Infiltration successful.”

Deery hated it. She hated that she had to apply with an ulterior motive. She would have liked to get to know Jaune Arc, anyway, the man who made Adam Taurus say “He’s a good human”.

She wnated the job for the job’s sake!

And maybe a little to get closer to Arc, because she thinks he’s cool....

But not for this!

“Thank you, Deery.”

to help someone else get laid!

“I hope you will continue gathering information for me,” Eve said, seeming all too pleased with the situation right now.

“I will delay- i mean, relay as much as I can,” Deery replied, eyes steely and expression much unlike the cutely demure woman from before..

Oh, she hated this....

Gonna be fun when Blake walks in on that.

Blake: I fucking knew it...

Lewd white knight

Weiss makes jaune wear a collar and a leash

Are you going to invent the Mudcrab Miraculous?

I have such a dumb idea for my MLB x Skyrim AU....help

Well it did take her six to even find Grandma.

…you know, it’s honestly just struck me that it’s taken nearly eight years for Little Red Riding Hood to meet the Big Bad Wolf. 

Slow. Burn. 

Neon: *Clinging to Jaune’s side* I’m either plotting to kiss you or plotting to make your dick harder!

Blake: Wait that’s wrong!

Jaune: *Flustered knight sounds*

jaune: cats are either plotting to kill youbor plotting to make your day harder

blake: hes not wrong

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

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.

The further I read this, the more I headcanoned that ‘Mysterious Chessmaster Ozpin’ is a front that he puts on for literally anyone who isn’t his own staff or students.

From the interrogation room through initiation, he was gritting his teeth to keep all the Dad Energy from escaping.

He brought a goddamn plate of cookies the first time he ever talked to Ruby, probably just because Summer said how much she loved them at some point, it was probably Summer’s recipe.

Glynda came to show him how fake Jaune’s transcripts were and he probably tapped his mug on ‘Accept’ before she got two words out.

He let two teenage bandits enroll in his fight college to try to reform them.

People used to joke about it, but he probably does just wander the school looking for students who look troubled. He is/was a father, and now he has dozens of youths he is explicitly responsible for, many of whom are orphans. You cannot stop this guy giving guidance.

Ozpin keeps up the ‘Wizard’ act for the council, the citizens, and any of the applicants who aren’t students yet. Even other headmasters and their students, maybe. All to keep his dramatic image and his position as Headmaster. All so he can keep helping good kids be better so they can save the world.

I really love your idea of Uncle Oz. But in the early volumes, Ozpin was given the 'menacing, plotting' Dumbledore treatment. Which is weird, because by the time we have the backstory he's just genuinely a caring, wonderful person in an awful situation. Which is also weird, because the hands-off man we know doesn't map to the idea of who the guy must have been to set up the school in the first place. Oz seems like the prime example of the show actively not always knowing where it's going.

Especially since, looking back, I honestly believe that the vast majority of said “menacing, plotting Dumbledore treatment” came from viewer expectation and very little was built into the text. Meaning, this is the Harry Potter era watching a new show. We see an older, white, clearly powerful, somewhat eccentric headmaster and go, “AH HA. I know where this is heading,” even though canonically Ozpin barely does anything to generate those feelings in the story. I’ll admit the “You have silver eyes” line is easily the most damning - What does that mean?? What does he want with Ruby??? - and we have the moment where Yang comments that he’s “off” during the speech, but both of these things happen within the first few episodes. Following that, Ozpin’s mysterious/manipulative persona is obliterated. Not just through all the legitimately good things we see him doing (counseling Ruby, talking to Blake, bending rules to help deal with the White Fang, etc.) because admittedly that all could have still been a part of some larger manipulation. AKA, Ozpin is grooming this group to do his dirty work like Dumbledore groomed Harry. But that reveal never comes. Instead, Ozpin encourages the group to leave if it’s not their own, active decision to help. He doesn’t manipulate people into working for him, he deliberately discourages anyone with doubts from continuing on because doubts, as we’ve seen, lead to people betraying the cause. Just as importantly, the ‘shady headmaster’ persona fails because we learn what his secret is. What’s Ozpin hiding? The fact that there’s a war on. What’s he doing about that? Something nefarious or at least ethically dubious? Uh... no. Actually he’s just doing the best he can with limited options. It’s like if in Prisoner of Azkaban we got to follow Dumbledore’s perspective for multiple chapters, learned pretty much all there is to know about the war, and likewise confirmed that Dumbledore was never attempting something as horrible as raising a kid for slaughter.

Really, the text only starts treating Ozpin as legitimately shady around Volume 5 with the whole bird transformation stuff, which as we’ve discussed was just stupid. Then it was hinted that he had some other, terrible secret hidden away, we waited a whole volume to find out what it was... and then it wasn’t terrible at all. Salem is immortal? Anyone who thinks about this war for five minutes can figure that out. Is it Ozpin’s fault that Salem is immortal and trying to kill us all? Uh... no. No it’s not. So... why was he supposed to be shady again? 

The structure basically went:

I just wish they’d let you setup a default filter set, if I’m never going to care to read about “Some Pairing” or “Some Fandom” or any sort of taggable thing I wish you could set it once and have it default to being in that slot, even better if you can then remove it just as easily as a one-time thing.

I know about Tuff’s userscript but I’d rather it tie to my account.

Setting a default language or languages would also be nice.

The only thing I want from ao3 is primary and secondary categories for ship tags and a "read more" type deal for the tags so they aren't all on display at once.

I just want to be able to find fics that are mainly about the ship I'm interested in, while being able to scroll past the smut fics tagged with every kink under the sun in a timely manner. Is that really too much to ask?
