Topaz Is Jaune And Emerald.

Aww yes. Those ‘Rose Rebound Queen’ instincts kicking in...

Ruby: stay away from my man!

Jaune: your man?

Ruby:(blushing) NONONONO I MEANT MY FRIEND. STAY AWAY FROM MY FRIEND

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.

Nora spent like 10 years playing things ‘subtle’ and got nowhere fast.

Now Nora will detail her wants/demands to whoever’ll listen.

Nora: honestly jaune could smack my butt and i would tell him harder. YOU CAN DO BETTER

Ren:..

Jaune... so ren lost weight

Ren: why yes i have thank you for noticing

That’s probably accurate and its a great thing. But I just keep getting distracted by how weird the modeling for Emerald’s hair looks from this angle.

Purple is the colour combination of Red and Blue, and from what we’ve seen from Ren’s semblance red petals are anger and blue petals are sadness

Guilt is like a mix of that. Sadness about the hurt caused, and anger/frustration at yourself for what you did

Winter, and maybe Emerald:

jaune makes everyone dinner. how do they react?

Anyone remember Hancock?

I’m joking, but it reminded me of this.

Quick question: What happens if Jaune amps himself when he nuts?

I believe the answer would be a stellar career in the bukkake portion of porn

Either that or guaranteed conception

I wasn’t sure what you meant at first but damn does that work.

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.

What the fuck. This sounds like a train wreck.

So yeah, might be better to just ignore it entirely.

Maybe it can be in the weird DC comics canon, it sounds about as coherent.

Alright, so...

Due to the blatant murder of the personalities of basically everyone in the RWBY book "Before the Dawn", and the rampant harassment and bullying from the book's fanatics against people with valid criticisms, I'm not taking either of the RWBY books as canon. At all, aside from confirmed semblances. I just can't. At least not until E.C. Myers, Miles, and Kerry address and call out the harassment that's been going on by these fanatics to silence any and all criticisms of Before the Dawn, like with what was done to Coco, Velvet, Sun, and basically anyone that appears in that book.

Anyone who bullies people into silencing their criticisms are just plagues to the RWBY community, and to the world. It's silencing free speech which no matter where you are in the world, should never stand.

I honestly don't care about Coco being confirmed lesbian at this point anymore. It's tied to so much murder of character and so much bullying and harassment that it kind of just fucking ruins it.

You can hate me all you want, but I'm standing by my decision. The RWBY novels are not canon in my eyes. I will not change my mind until Myers, Miles, and Kerry The only thing that needs to change is the rampant bullying and harassment by these fanatics to silence any criticisms of the books, especially Before the Dawn.

And before anyone comes to this post about how I'm "just a RWBY hater", don't. Just don't bother. RWBY is one of my favorite shows ever honestly. It got me into writing, and inspired me to want to write my own book. I absolutely love RWBY and the work Miles and Kerry and everyone else have put into it after Monty's passing. Don't use this post as a platform to spread hate. Use it to spread criticism if you have to do something with it, but not hate.

It’s the prototype that the printer sent Coco, she gave it to Velvet as a ‘photographers fee’.

Not even a minute after the Jaune modeled body pillow was announced online, Pyrrha took the entire stock except one got away. Now who could the culprit be? Weiss? Ruby? Blake? Yang? Seems like a mystery.

Huh. Yeah what happened to it?

Faunus!Zwei is terrified of thunder, and wakes up just as a storm rolls in. The only other one(s) awake is Jaune (and Ruby?). Brotherly bonding time? (Not sure if Jaune is staying on Patch over some break, or if he comes over from Vale.)

A loud crack goes across the sky waking up the fanaus boy from his sleep, a loud Yelp coming out of his mouth. He looks around his room in fear. He thought about running to his sisters or his dad, but then frowned. He wasnt a baby. He was a big boy! And boys dont need sleep with other cause they were scared! To the second CRACK changed his mind and he ran into Ruby’s room and dive under the covers. Jaune open his eyes at the movement and lift the cover to see Zwei shaking like a leaf under it. Ruby snored, pretending to sleep at the moment. Jaune knew she wanted this to he a chance for him and Zwei to bond someway.

Jaune sighed and pulled up Zwei.

Jaune:Hey buddy. You okay?

Zwei:……

Jaune:Got scared of the thunder?

Zwei nods his head slightly.

Jaune:Hey it’s okay bud. You wanna stay in her with me and your sister?

Zwei look up Jaune, tears threatening to fall from his face.

Zwei:Can I?

Jaune:Sure.

Zwei began to smile before a another thunderclap and he clutched Jaune tightly. Jaune ruffled his hair telling him it was alright and Zwei began to fall alseep, light snoring coming from him. Jaune look toward Ruby to see her smiling at him.

Ruby:Good job Jaune.

She kissed him and cuddle up to him both slowly falling alseep.
