I can respect other people’s tastes, I don’t think I’ve tossed Cinder in when talking to you, but I’ll try not to in the future.
Personal quick rant again—-
Imma keep it real with you guys
I’ve seen some additions to my posts and comments that involve KnightF*ll and Sp*ceCream
Cinder is a believable, interesting villain with an understandably traumatic childhood. But…
You’d think as a SilentKnight shipper I’d be open to Cinder shipping but that’s a hard pass for me
I know she was justified in all of the pre-Vol.1 things Cinder did / went through, but killing Amber, Pyrrha, and a random woman just for her clothes and money in Vol.6 really hinder that redemption arc for me
I’m not against Cinder righting her wrongs, but, I especially don’t love her being shipped with Jaune, right after she killed Pyrrha and traumatized him continuously at Haven
(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.
Great as always, now I've got a sudden need to see Elm blushing in a wedding dress.
How about some Elm × Jaune?
(sure)
Elm Ederne was not a woman Jaune would have thought he ended up dating.
He didn’t mind at all, though.
Elm was a giant of a woman, strong as hell and quite feisty. She didn’t hesitate to ask him out when he caught her interest and then drag him into an unusual wrestling date.
Those who said not to have sex on the first date never met Elm, who went with the flow and simply snuck into the showers after the two of them getting sweaty.
Which was where jaune discovered something rather adorable of the usually tough woman.
Once in the afterglow, she became a cuddly teddy bear, desiring affection and kisses, turning any consequent rounds into a mellow, loving and slower affair.
Which brough them to now. Jaune had just finished turning Elm into her cuddle bug self, thoroughly enjoying her huge and soft body against his own. It was always a refreshing change whenever her Nora-esque demeanor gave way to this.
“ready for another round?” It was not really an ask; he knew she was up for it. Though, just as she rolled over, letting him be on top and greeting him with a loving smile, the door burst open.
“For fucks sake, you two!” Vine snarled. “It’s been two hours now! Get the fuck to sleep!”
I hate to argue, and give Ruby flashbacks, but who said Neo needs to hide in the military base?
Jaune seems twice as certain about the airship theft and that short, quiet girl who always keeps close to him looks like dustmas came early. Saphron is a lot more concerned all of a sudden.
Oh RWBYNRQO have to convince Jaune and Neo not to go full on Metal Gear on the Atlesian military and force them to settle on the plan involving Weiss sneaking Maria aboard. Neo explains that she also knows how to fly an airship, but Saphron and Terra don’t have any luggage big enough to hide her in. Neo beams ear to ear to find out she’s too tall to fit. Neo however does join the airship team during the Mech fight, and copilots for Maria (saving the ship from crashing when Maria’s eyes go out)
Dog-faunus Jaune and Pyrrha would end up doing some praise-kink petplay shit.
And Blake would keep walking in on it!
Pyrrha: *Gives Jaune headpats* Who’s a good boy~
Jaune: *Blushing but enjoying the praise* Me! I’m a good boy, Pyrrha!
Pyrrha: That’s right. You’re such a good boy~ *Slowly pushes down on the top of Jaune’s head*
Jaune: P-Pyrrha?
Pyrrha: *Licks her lips seductively and slowly slides her skirt up, exposing her soaked panties* Who’s my good boy~ *Pushes down a little harder*
Jaune: *Blushes and drops down on his knees in front of her* M-Me, Pyrrha. I-I’m your good boy... *Let’s his head be guided in between his partners legs*
Pyrrha: *Moans happily* Mmmh~ Thats right Jaune. You’re MY good boy~
Councilman Arc: Jaune begins to call out Atlas on its treatment of Mantle and the parasitic nature of the relationship as Atlas rarely shares anything that they can’t rip away in an instant. This forces Atlas to better their treatment of Mantle and leads to the Happy Huntresses wanting to show Jaune just how happy he’s made them.
One visit was all it took. His very first travel to Atlas, as part of diplomatic relations. All he wanted was to visit Mantle once, to see it. Some of the politician said that there was not much to see.
Jaune saw enough.
He realized just how dependent Atlas was of Mantle. They relied on the city below on just about anything. And how were they repaid? With scorn.
Scorn, ridicule and even more corruption.
Jaune forced their hand. He informed Ironwood that the ill treament of Mantle was attracting Grimm and would cause a catastrophe in the long run.
Hence, the support for Mantle was enforced. Ironwood gained some support among Mantle for the move, even if some Atlas dwellers accused the man of kowtowing to a youngling beginner in the great game of politics.
Ironwood was no politician, however, so he could give a fuck.
Added bonus for Jaune was that his efforts did not go unnoticed by a certain group within Mantle. The Happy Huntresses were a volunteer group that was thinning out Grimm beyond the walls of Mantle, thus supporting the sparse military presence up to the reforms allocating resources for it.
The blonde received...a gift basket.
Not what he thought, given the trend, but he’d gladly take it. Some ham, sweets, a few pieces of fruit and...
And there it was.
A piece of paper with a scroll number, which also read “Call me″. Although that could mean anything.
And hey, he had a lot to learn, and this woman could maybe teach him a thing or two.
Are you going to invent the Mudcrab Miraculous?
I have such a dumb idea for my MLB x Skyrim AU....help
Consider: An AU where RNJR encounter Neo on the way to Mistral. After a tense standoff, they convince her that Cinder is her true target and that Ruby shouldn't be blamed for Roman's death. She reluctantly allies with them and then starts to realize she and the blonde one have a surprising amount in common. Against all odds, they bond over their shared past, goals, and maybe even find comfort in each other when emotions run high
You are describing my perfect version of the best Silent Knight AU timeline. Neo was already on her vendetta on Cinder. And a quick explanation by Ruby that it was a Grimm that killed him would only strengthen her resolve. And make a nice new hatred towards Grimm in time to help RNJR fight the Nuckelavee.
Bonus points if Neo catches Jaune training alone in the woods and confronts him. After hearing him out, Neo suggests she help Jaune train late at night.
Then at Haven, I think Neo really could have helped Jaune break out of his fatalistic drive to fight Cinder. He was ready to kill her or be killed. But after Weiss gets hurt and Cinder escapes, I think Neo and Jaune would have AMPLE time to talk about their trauma and feelings.
Can you imagine RNJR meeting Neo again after Beacon and seeing her in her torn up clothes, damaged parasol, and bowler hat? And while everyone else gears up to fight her Jaune just stares at her hat while he holds onto Pyrrha’s sash???
I just finished my first of the spotify writing prompts and you might be VERY interested in when it takes place.
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.
So the Arcs are what a lot of people thought the Branwens were going to be?
The Arcs are what the Branwens would be if instead of bandits, they were a grim-hunting militia keeping some chunk of the frontier safe?
Jaune: *Telling Pyrrha how very datable he thinks she is*
Pyrrha: *Red-faced, trembling in place, thinking* ‘You’re so fucking close, and so am I...’
The prom episode in Volume 2 was the pinnacle of human evolution.
