I like Suger Mama Salem as much as anyone, but surely the best sugar mama for Jaune would be Willow...Thoughts? Headcanons?
Yandere!Willow Schnee
It all started quite innocently.
Jaune needed money for training and equipment. Willow Schnee needed an extra pair of hands around her garden. Preferably, the kind that would listen to her orders instead of her husband’s.
Jaune did a good job tending to the Schnee matriarch. He wasn’t working to get into Jacques’ good graces or worm his way into a lofty SDC position through her.
Willow liked that very much.
Slowly, as she took more time to examine her servant boy in her more intoxicated hours, Willow started to fantasize about the young man. Not a true love, not at that point. But the idea of being caressed and loved passionately after so many years of drowning her sorrows certainly warmed her loins.
Jaune was surprised when, after half a year of working under Mrs. Schnee, he was gifted with a silver watch. A very expensive gift for someone like him. He tried to return it only to have Mrs. Schnee deny him that. When asked what he could do in exchange for it, she asked him one simple request.
“Please, call me Willow.”
Thoughts on Topaz?
Honest opinion: Looove them. They're so fucking awkward around each other at first, but Jaune's earnest goofiness makes Emerald laugh and leads to her opening up too, which leads to them developing the weirdest inside jokes imaginable.
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.
Pyrrha, with tea: Thank you for inviting me over for tea, Saphron.
Saphron, smiling: No problem. I thought you might be bored since Jaune is our drinking with the boys. How’s the tea?
Pyrrha: It’s really good. It’s actuallymy favorite kind.
Saphron: Yeah, Jaune told me.
Pyrrha: Excuse me, where’s the bathroom?
Saphron: Down the hall to he left.
Pyrrha: Thank you. *walks away*
Saphron: *sips her tea*
Pyrrha’s scroll: *DING*
Saphron, curious: Hmm? Wonder whose that.
*Saphron checks the scroll to see a text message from Jaune*
Jaune, whose clearly drunk: Imma kick your ass when we get home.
Saphron, choking: What the hell?! He’s gonna do WHAT?! What the fuck!? Did he actually send that?! Oh hell no! I’m going to kick his—
Jaune, texting back: *lick 👅
Saphron: Oh......okay then. He’s going to lick her ass. *sighs in relief* That scared me for moment.
Saphron: *starts sipping her tea peacefully*
Saphron: *processing the information*
Saphron:.........*eyes widening before choking on her tea again, this time hot tea spewing out of her nose*
Saphron, choking: JESUS FUCKIN CHRIST! *coughs* OH GOD! DID HE REALLY JUST SENT THAT?! OH GOD! I WISH I CAN UNREAD THAT! *coughs* OH FUCK! *starts pouring alcohol into tea* Just forget what you read, Saph. Just forget about it. Save it for therapy.
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.

Ruby: Okay it's time we go save the world right guys!
JYWBNR: Yeah!
Civilian in distress: wait!*points to Jaune* Oh brave knight! I need your help!
Jaune: I'm sorry but I've held the team up long enough, I have to go help them save the world.
Civilian: Please! If you were to help my family you'd be handsomely rewarded!
Jaune: please sir...my friends need me, I can't delay them any longer.
Civilian: I come from a wealthy family, we can give you money or land!
Jaune: This is more important then money or land!
RWBYNR: Yeah!
Civilian: ...if you help me I'll introduce yiu to my wife's beautiful sister...she has a thing for tall blonde knights.
Jaune: ...
Yang: As if Lady Killer could be persuaded by that when he has (gestures to herself and all the other girls) right Jaune?
Jaune: ...right!
Civilian: she's got bigger tiddies then all of them. *point to team RWBY*
Jaune: *pulls out Crocea Mors* Tiddies it is!
RWBY: JAUNE!
Nora, sniffling: that's my fearless leader.
Ren: truly a man of culture.
Gotta love those Side Quests.
Ever since it was introduced Maidenhood has screamed ‘more trouble than it’s worth’ to me. You get a bit of a power boost but you still lose fights, and everyone now wants to find or fight you. You end up a over-pressured and paranoid mess.
Penny, honestly, was the one exception they could have convinced me on, it serves her arc in a way they couldn’t do most other ways, and they handled it’s effects well, through Fria’s choice through this episode.
It also seems a bit too obvious? Nora less so because the most obvious would be Team RWBY all getting magic.
Can we leave the Winter maiden Nora theory in V7 where it died? Y'all are really hoping Penny dies just so your personal fav can get a power up.
Penny's not dying again, she's already a real girl, and her arc would make no sense if she lost the powers. She'd be running from her conflict, not resolving it.
Nora already has an arc about identity issues and giving her the responsibilities of a maiden would make that worse. Let her figure out who she is as an individual.
Let’s be real here, Yang would be into that.
Pyrrha: Jaune’s sweet and all, but he can be kinda awkward when we’re intimate.
Pyrrha: For example one time I went down on him in the shower, and he, not knowing what to do with his hands, decided to wash my hair.
Yang: At least he’s thoughtful I guess?
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*
Jaune’s and/or Yang’s auras adjusting based off ‘idiot isn’t gonna stop hugging the living bonfire’ or ‘he’s not even flinching anymore, just let him in’ is somehow the most in character dragonslayer metaphor I’ve seen in a bit.
I’d imagine Yang being low/mid-key clingy, she’d probably be touch-starved to hell and back.
And I’ve always liked the idea of Jaune calling Yang ‘Sunshine’, in this case he’d also call her ‘Sunburn’ when snark warrants it.
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….
