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.
Neo would ask for a sip and then drink Jaune’s entire milkshake.
For some reason this is the thought that came to me when I read this idea.
Same Energy(?)
Neo is actually a brilliant little shit because this way she gets the best of both worlds without lifting a finger. Blackmail Cinder into getting her revenge on Ruby then keep the relic and get her originally planned revenge on Cinder without having to do anything at all
...The voucher is actually for a couples spa day isn’t it?
Jaune you dense dork, those women are going to ruin you.
Ace Ops Jaune AU: Does Jaune give any Valentine gifts to Elm and Harriet?
“Well, yeah I did. I just thought it would be kind of a nice gesture. Also maybe help me fit into the team a bit more. I got Elm these new weights that have gravity dust incorporated into them for her to try out along with some milk chocolate covered pretzels.” Jaune forgot to mention that they were small folded pretzels and with the chocolate on them made them look like small hearts. “I gave Harriet a new pair of shoes she can go jogging with and some chocolate covered marshmallows.” Jaune didn’t know those marshmallows had some lines written on the chocolate like ‘I love you’ or ‘you’re gorgeous’.
“I didn’t just get some for them though. I got some chocolates and stuff for the whole team. I gave Clover a bottle of whisky with a small jade horseshoe tied around the neck of a bottle. I got some classical and meditative music for fine Vine, along with a small joke book haha.” Jaune chuckled awkwardly, remembering how awkward it was to actually hand the stoic man those things. He didn’t even seem phased. Jaune coughed into his hand and recomposed himself. “Lastly, I got Marrow the same coffee maker I use and offered to show him how to make the kind that he really likes.”
Jaune took in a deep breath after that long explanation. “I’m not sure if they liked them or not, but I figured holidays are a good day to bond with others. I thought it couldn’t hurt to get them something. I even got something for Specialist Schnee, maybe it’ll help her warm up to me more.”
Jaune’s eyes shot open in realization. “Oh crap that reminds me! I still have to give it to her!” Jaune ran off without another word, rushing off to find Winter to give her her own chocolates and a voucher for a full trip to a spa in Atlas.
I was wondering what this ship was called, My guesses were either Ladybug Knight or Lan-cat-ster. Crimson Knightshade sounds better though. I’d say Scarlet Knightshade, but that should probably be Velvet instead of Ruby.
Crimson Knightshade: Ruby and Blake arguing about the perfect birthday gift for Jaune.
ALRIGHT!!! (YOSHA!!!)

Anonymous asks: The Rose, the Kitty, and the Knight (RWBY)

*Jaune is simply walking down the halls of Beacon, until he hears an argument*
Jaune (leaning his head in closer to Team RWBY’s door): …Huh?
Ruby (yelling): …He wouldn’t want a dead mouse, Blake!
Blake (also yelling): …Okay, fine! How the entire “Ninja of Love” series?!
Ruby: That’s filth, Blake!
Blake: That’s not filth! That’s literature at its finest! I’m sure Jaune would appreciate it!
Ruby: What Jaune would TRULY appreciate is an additional upgrade to his already awesome weapon: Crocea Mors!
Blake: How would you know?
Ruby: As a weapon enthusiast: I should know!
Blake: What Jaune truly deserves is a lot of loving! I also should know!
Ruby: True, but it shouldn’t be from somebody who takes reference from a filthy book!
Blake: Hey! Don’t call my-
*Knock! Knock! Knock!*
Ruby: …I’ll get it. *Opens the door, and Ruby’s surprised to see Jaune there* J-Jaune! Can…I do anything for you?
Jaune (chuckling): …May I come inside? Sounds like you and Blake were having an important conversion.
Ruby (blushing): Wait! You were-
Blake: Of course! Come inside!
Ruby (angrily): BLA-
*Jaune walks inside*
Jaune: So, uh…what’s this about?
Blake: We were talking about-
Ruby (attempting to cover Blake’s mouth): Don’t say- MMPH!!!
Blake (covering Ruby’s mouth): …The perfect birthday gift for you. *Blushes*
*Ruby also blushes, Jaune also blushes hearing this*
Jaune (shocked): …Oh…well, um…to…be to honest, I don’t need you two to get me the “perfect birthday gift” for me, because I already have what I want.
Blake: O-Oh? And what’s that?
Ruby (unmuffling herself): Yeah! What’s that Jau- MMPH!
*Jaune kisses Ruby on the lips, then kisses Blake on the lips, causing both girls to blush massively*
Jaune: It’s you two! Ruby…Blake…you two are the perfect gifts I could ever want! I don’t care what you get me, so long as I make you two the happiest people on Remnant!
*Ruby and Blake, hearing this, IMMEDIATELY tackle Jaune onto the ground, pelting his face with kisses*
Blake: J-Jaune!
Ruby: So, um…we’re your…
Jaune (chuckling): My perfect gifts? Yes! I don’t need- *Gets muffled by Blake* Mmph?
Blake (blushing): Anything…?
Ruby (blushing): All you need it Blake and I, r-right?
*Jaune doesn’t say anything, but nods*
Blake (happily): Oh, well…Ruby, I think exactly what I should give him~…
Ruby (happily): Oh? And what’s that, Blake?
*Blake unmuffles Jaune, then strips herself naked. Ruby, seeing this, also strips herself as well*
Jaune (shocked): W-Whoa! H-Huh…?
Blake: Jaune, please…
Ruby: T-Take your early birthday gifts…as…as early as possible~.
*Jaune obliges, then the trio spends the rest of the night doing “stuff” together, until they fall asleep happily on Ruby’s bed*
Ruby/Blake (falling asleep): Jaune…
Jaune (falling asleep): Ruby…Blake…as long as I have you two, I…
*The trio falls asleep together*
SO
I was doing some research. realized that a lot of the cities we see in Mistral around Vol. 4 are named after Japanese flowers. Do some digging, find out they are all a part of the Language of Flowers.
Now
I WONDER where we should meet Neo? Is there a name that might work well for someone hiding out, dealing with their grief alone while also slowly making her way to Mistral without any help?
Tsubaki, or the White Camellia, means “waiting” When I say I nearly screamed in symbolism and excitement….
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.
I could see it, Yang’s got hangups and has no chill.
Jaune meanwhile, goes all in when he’s flirting, no real fear at all.
I could see Yang being flustered in that situation.
I seriously keep wanting to write a fic that starts with this, and they just end up landing within sight of each other.
Then they have to trek an indeterminate distance together to get to the evacuation point back at Beacon or back to Vale. Jaune wouldn’t have a clue who she is at this point in canon, I think?
Feels and bonding would happen, I have no idea what would happen once they were wherever they wanted to go though...
It’s not just that they both lost someone at Beacon. It’s that they couldn’t do anything to stop it.
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
What is she thinking about?
