    Simple. RWBY never asked. Everyone else knew and so everyone, including JNPR, just assumed RWBY knew because why wouldn’t they. RWBY and JNPR are practically one team after all. The one time JNPR asked if they wanted anything, RWBY just assumed they’re taking a trip to a grocery store or...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I’d say it’s an easy spin in the Rebel Alliance’s favor. The Galactic Republic was reformed into The Empire in response to corruption and poor policy as well as years of war. Systems traded autonomy for safety and prosperity, but receive nothing of the sort. Why? Because the reforms never...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    This raises an interesting point. Minda is both a detriment and a boon to both the Empire and the Rebellion. On one hand, Minda’s success proves the merit of the Imperial system of governance. Great for the Empire, not great for the Rebellion. One the other, that same success being attributed...

    Head Canon Lore Time! Today I will focus in on Jaune Arc's Sword, Crocea Mors aka The Yellow Death and a head canon for the blade's lightly ominous name and history that I made up on a whim. The Modern Arc Family are the survivors of the Noble House of Arc from the Kingdom of Vale's Dynastic...

    Threadmarks: The Choice

    I really can't explain or justify this one. Just take it and enjoy. The place Ruby had found herself in after drinking the tea was an expanse, an endless stretch of darkness drenched in an eternal twilight, light only by scatter glowing motes. She couldn’t help but think back to the arguments...

    Orleans semblance allows her to run anywhere. When Jaune met Orleans she ran over a lake and up a sheer cliff face and even on air I think, definitely the first two. Zwei’s semblance has never been explored though.

    Ozpin: “ Since the beginning of the age of sail and ever since man first took to the sky, there has always been a ship to carry this name. Ozpin presents to RWBYJNPR a name in a very old language, it seems very sophisticated, easy to say, and potential for a pithy nickname. In actuality, it is...

    All right, my turn to post some ideas. As for who you can blame for these ideas...well blame NightDranzer's cross posting of The Prodigy prompt and a good friend of mine dragging me down the Warhammer 40k rabbit hole. The first idea, which gave rise to the second, was basically a riff on The...

    I agree TrollBlake is funny. Blake intentionally being the worst is somehow better than Blake just being the worst.

    I imagine a timeline where Salem is uninvolved for some reason , Cinder is the real Villian. She is a descendant of the Last King of Vale, and believes it is her birthright to rule to world and that The Last King was a fool to toss that away. To that end she is setting up the dominos to launch...

    Maybe the training rooms do have cameras, but Hex is barely smart enough to cover his tracks. He has had his scroll rigged up to able to keep the training room cams from recording on a whim. The situation devolves into a "He said She Said" sort of sitaution, thus Beacon's Administration cannot...

    I don't think so, it seems more like a very unfortunate dose of realism for Blake's situation. Just laying it out, Blake is the daughter of the Chief of Menagerie and a former member of the White Fang. Then the White Fang attack Beacon Academy the same year she joins up with Beacon, lead by a...

    Getting involved with the Addams Family is never a good idea, especially if involves explosives. Total disregard for safety those people.

    I gotta say, I'm really diggin the world building aspects that have been thought up here. Stuff like the legend of The Witch Queen of Argus, and the Order of the Broken Table are fanatastic. I especially enjoy the Order of the Broken Table as a religion, as it basically replaces the Two...

    I never made the connection between the Schnees and the four survival responses. That’s… well not neat …interesting. Also an example of the little things that kept me coming back to Rwby despite compounding issues with the story, they do great details like that but have trouble stringing them...
