Again, Arslan is a very good girl, a devout and religious woman... But she's still only mortal. And she does sin, like anyone else.

Arslan: "Forgive me Emperor Above, I fantasized about making Jaune Arc my husband and [CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED] before we are married. I have gravely sinned. In your name, amen."

Jaune, who just walked into the chapel, gapes at Arslan with a red face.

Arslan: "Oh, hello Jaune. Sorry, did I say that out loud? I didn't know you were here..." lower voice "Forgive me Lord for that lie."

 

[The Brotherhood of Steel]

Some ideas
- since Penny mentioned Ciel was like Blake/ Weiss what if Ciel was the reason he was attracted to her in the first place.

Ciel is Terra's cousin and due to her parents being in the military she would often be sent to live with Terra during the holidays. This led to her visiting the Arcs and bonding with Jaune over want to continue their family legacies. Jaune developed a crush on her but due to Ciel more stoic nature he assumed she just saw him as a friend.

This of course couldn't be further from the truth and it was obvious to Terra and Saph that she likes Jaune. They even paired the two up during their wedding.

Fast forward to Beacon and Ciel is dragged by Penny to meet Ruby and Co. There she is reunited with Jaune. Ruby and Penny can see she likes him so cute the two of them trying to help her out. Only problem they don't know much about romance themselves.


- Winter and or Harriet get injured during a mission and are sent to get treatment under Isabella and meeting Jaune.

-Glynda, Harriet, and Winter somehow get age reversed to when they were first year students. With no way to turn them back Oz decides to have them enroll undercover as students. Cue them ending up as teammates to Jaune.

When the students from the other academies arrive for the festival Jaune is happy to meet with some childhood friends. Everyone is shocked when each claims to be his fiance because Jaune accidently did something in their culture that acts as a marriage proposal.

May: Jaune shared his water bottle with her as kids. In certain areas of Vacuo this is only done with family members or someone you intend to marry.

Arslan: made an Eternal vow of friendship with her in ancient Mistrali however Jaune accidentally used the vow for Eternal love instead.

Ciel: Pledge himself as her knight when they were kids something Atlasians take seriously.

Neon: bought her a choker as a gift not knowing what that can mean in Faunus culture.

- Cardin trying to bully Jaune but it keeps backfiring

I know Jaune's father had a series of books about his adventures, but was there anything else? How much of it did Arslan collect?

 

[SharkCultist]

Nora Valkyrie was insane. Absolutely certifiably insane.

"I'll find you you bastard!"

How else would you describe someone arguing with the sky at 4 in the morning?

Somehow Nora got it stuck in her little brain ( "hey!" ) that the reason she can't get with Ren and Nobody can get with Jaune is because they're in a story and romance isn't plot relevant.

Poor deluded girl, maybe she just doesn't want to accept she's not hot enough, or Ren might be gay.

"Ex-fucking-cuse me I've got enough cake for a bakery and I've definitely caught Ren looking!"

See? complete denial.

"When I find you I'm going to make you hurt in ways you can't imagine."

Said the crazy girl who should probably be institutionalized. I mean really even if some all-powerful narrator was manipulating everything wha- *Thunk Thunk RIIIIIIp*

"Found you you bastard!"

Wait how the fu--------

"Ok now how do I work this thing?"

 

[trashtaker]

Nora has become meta.

All thing shall lead to pancake.

 

[AndrewJTalon]

Indeed. So, some more fun prompts:

-Arslan doesn't like Sun, and Blake is a bit offended. So she asks Arslan why. Arslan thinks Sun is a terrible leader and will get Neptune, her surrogate little brother and friend, killed. Blake stands up for Sun, initially thinking that Arslan really doesn't like Sun because she's racist... Until Blake learns Arslan is a Faunus. I dunno, perhaps something can be made of it? Not just to bash Blake?

-Jaune takes Nora to the zoo because Nora begs for it, while Ren, Pyrrha and RWBY work on her birthday. While at the Zoo, Nora reveals she knows that she's out here so they can prepare her surprise party. But she doesn't care, because having friends who will throw her a birthday party and being at the zoo is the best birthday present ever. Jaune is deeply moved, and hugs Nora as she cries.

-The heat wave of the Valean Summer hits... And everyone is coping as best they can!

-Ren has to go all out in a fight against some bandits. His full Aura martial arts techniques, his ruthlessness. He has to kill them. Jaune and Pyrrha are a bit surprised. Nora isn't. Ren has killed for Nora before, and will kill for her and his friends.

-Ruby finds a message from her mom. She's not sure if she can watch it. She hasn't even told Yang, because she's scared of what it would say. Jaune, as her best friend, convinces her to tell Yang and to watch it with her. Because no matter what it shows, she and Yang will still have eachother. So Ruby and Yang watch it.

So there was this recount of events in 997 where Steinunn challenged a christian missionary, "Hast thou heard? How Thor challenged Christ to single Combat and how he did not dare to fight with Thor"

And that's so much Nora energy.

I mean imagine Nora meets the Blacksmith and she just goes on a verbal rampage?

I can't even think of a prompt other than Team RWBY and Team JNPR, decided to kill the sun with how bad I am being affected by the heat.

43 degree Celsius temperature and Humidity as well? I am about to commit Deicide on every solar entity I know.

 

[LordofBones]

That would be interesting. Hell, how about a Self Insert as Jacques Schnee? That would be very interesting.

Click to shrink...

Jacques being pragmatic evil but utterly infuriated that he gets the blame for everything would be genuinely interesting. The SDC's faunus issues? Nicholas wasn't actually the best at running a business while Jacques was pragmatic enough to realize that marginalizing an entire race is going to hit productivity where it hurts. Sacking the old board? They were old friends brought in by Nicholas and weren't actually qualified to run a massive business. Indulging Weiss? She simply didn't have the business acumen Whitley had and her antics just continue to prove that she's seriously unqualified.

Dude is an asshole and a cutthroat, but he's also seriously pragmatic and has very little patience for naive idealism.

 

[SharkCultist]

So this is a idea inspired by...quite a few things but the biggest is from Kamen rider (as is obvious by the names)

---

Atlas had a top secret experiment going on, one with good intentions but a horrible outcome.

See they figured that if they can't kill all the Grimm then they'll find a version of Remnant that doesn't have them.

So they created the parallel world gate.

And unfortunately for them they didn't think of a few things, like what happens if there's people from other Remnants coming through, and what to do if they're both hostile and stronger than them.

Like with the first being to come through the door Another Penny.

A version of Penny who that Atlas military decided to have the combat data put in before her personality matrix which led to her developing a warped and sadistic view of things along with slowing her down developmentally.

She views murder and torture as playing and has the logic and reasoning of a 8 year old backed up by the processing power of a machine.

She takes control of the gate (after playing with all the people around it) and opens it as wide as possible so she can invite as many new playmates as she can from all the different remnants

And some of them are MUCH worse than her.

 

[AndrewJTalon]

I did have an old idea... Managed to find it. Rewatching Gundam: The 08th MS Team reminded me of it.

Jaune ends up in an alternate timeline where all the kingdoms are at war with one another. Vale, Menagerie and Atlas are allies at war with a resurgent Vacuo and Mistral. And he has to find his friends who are on different sides and pull them together to get back home.

His AU self is a Captain in command of a very successful squad of Valean troops. Yang is Jaune's right hand woman and a badass. Ruby is with them too, their squad engineer and scout (and a great strategist). Cardin and Coco are also on the squad, with May as their sniper.

Pyrrha is an enemy commander, as is Cinder and Ren. Arslan, Sun, Nora and many others fight with Pyrrha and Ren. Winter and Weiss are allied commanders, though cautious. And a few others are all other the place.

Blake is a princess trying to end the war peacefully, Adam fights with Menagerie's forces.

This reality's Jaune Arc is on a secret mission to find Princess Blake who claims to have vital intelligence that proves there's a darker force behind the war: Salem. And that mission was going fine... Until he was swapped with Jaune Arc from a regular RWBY reality.

Now, both Jaune Arcs need to navigate their respective realities and try to save their friends... And enemies.

 

[AndrewJTalon]

Of all the things for Ruby to wake up to on a farm in Radian, North Sanus... An elephant trumpet was not one of them.

Ruby: "Eh?! HUH!? WHA?!"

Ruby and the rest of RWBY stumbled out of bed to the windows of their guest rooms. Ruby looked out with Yang from theirs, and Blake looked out from hers with Weiss's. All four stared at the scene of Jaune, in coveralls, feeding...

Ruby: "Is that an elephant?!"

Jaune: "Hm? Oh, good morning girls! Sorry about that."

Pyrrha, Nora and Ren also looked out through a guest window.

Nora: "An elephant?! Did you bring him here too?! Did we have a secret elephant companion?" She grins at RWBY "HA! IN YOUR FACE! WE HAVE AN ELEPHANT! HE'S WAY BETTER THAN ZWEI!"

Ruby: "IS NOT!"

Jaune: "What? No! This is Rupert! He's descended from Elephants the Shah of Rostram sent to my ancestor, King Charlemagne D'Arc, several centuries ago!"

Weiss: "Wha... Wait... You're descended from THAT Arc?!"

Jaune: "Er, yeah. Anyway, the Shah sent a lot of elephants and we've been taking care of them ever since. Rupert here just wanders around while his herd is elsewhere in the valley."

Weiss: "Don't they get cold in the winter?"

Jaune: "Oh, they grow out their fur for that! I dunno, they're like mammoth elephants? Anyway, say hello Rupert!"

Rupert trumpets happily.

Pyrrha: "Can... We pet Rupert?"

Jaune: "If you're nice. He only likes pretty girls. So you'll all have no issues." grins and winks

Much blushing.

Yang: "Wha... Why the hell wasn't he this confident in Beacon?"

Nora: "It's probably because he has an elephant with him."

Blake: "That... Would make sense, I suppose."

- - -

A few French monarchs did get elephants as gifts from foreign nations so it might make sense for Jaune's ancestors to have gotten some. And they're still around in one form or another. And they're wooly elephants because... I say so.

The biggest elephant is named Stampy.

 

[zMADLAXz]

OK I think people don't recognise how much of a big deal an elephant is. The number of Elephants a kingdom has multiplied by their Size, used to be a direct indicator of the strength and wealth of a kingdom.

Because Elephants need a lot of effort and care to keep healthily and upto royal standards. More elephants equals more labour, resources and effort.

In fact, where I am from, it wasn't an unknown tactic used by kings to gift Elephants to neighbouring rival kings, just to bankrupt them. After all, if something happened to the elephants, it would be considered a gross social faux-pas/ disrespect and then they will blamed if a war break outs.

 

[zMADLAXz]

I'll even give examples from India, because there the dynasties used this tactic all this time.

Emperor Akbar (16th century Mughal India) insisted on receiving every fine elephant from regions like the Deccan—aiming less to use them and more to ensure no one else could claim prestige through them .

The Sultan of Bijapur gave elephants to the Mughal court as "gifts", essentially as coerced tribute, not mere tokens of friendship

Turns out that having some kind of artistic talent is a graduation requirement at Beacon. Something like music or dance or art. Weiss smugly has it covered, and unfortunately Blake's smutty fanfics don't count, so Ruby, Yang and Blake seek out Jaune and Ren to learn some proper dance. Weiss comes along to mock them.

Weiss: "HA! You're desperate enough to ask Arc for help? You truly are doomed!"

Yang: "Hah! What could you teach me about dancing, VB?"

Jaune: Very intense, but calm "... Ren? The tango."

Ren: "The tango?"

Jaune: "The tango."

Ren starts the music... And Jaune takes the lead with Yang.


View: https://youtu.be/EZz-OCiMzfs?list=RDEZz-OCiMzfs

He is in total control the entire dance, even as Yang begins to try and assert herself, he confidently retakes the lead and practically manhandles her through the song... And she's left bright red and panting by the end.

Jaune: "Any questions, ladies?"

Weiss: bright red "... W-Well, given my musical background I suppose I can go next."

Ruby: "Nuh uh! I have two left feet, Weiss! I'm dancing next!"

Blake: "Stealthily" bumps Yang out of the way to take Jaune's hands.

Yang: "Wha-HEY! It was one song!"

Blake: "I'm very committed to my education."

Here's an idea for you!

Beacon decides to hold a 'Family Visit Week' to allow parents to see how responsible they are when it comes to handling and training their children. Of course, the first sign it was a terrible idea though was when Glynda literally discovered what was happening the day it starts. The sight of her screaming in panic and fear as she literally barricades herself into a panic bunker she had built.

The second sign was the sound of laughter as something blows up with more fire then it should have had considering what was just blown up. Followed by a lot of flooding, the undead army showing up that are also perverts, and more...

Ozpin: "Maybe trying to out drink Qrow on the anniversery of my daughter's death." (Behind him, the Arc Clan are busy setting up stuff all so they can treat this as a reunion. All the while dragging in others because they can.)

Fun facts about the history of the Tango.

Historically the Tango has been baned and censured multiple times because cultural norms were generally conservative, and so tango dancing was widely regarded as extremely sexual and inappropriate for public display.
In fact, the most widespread version of the Tango, European/Ballroom Tango (the one that's always used in movies), is a cencured version so it wouldn't be inappropriate to do in public, and is a lot more rigit in the structure with less room for improvisation, which was still regarded as very sexual, somewhat scandalous, and still considered inappropriate by the some of the very prudish.
In sharp contrast to one of the oldest versions, Argentine tango (which is the style used in a movie), which has virtually unlimited improvisational opportunities and lots of sensuality (and all the fundamental elements as well, like flexible embraces, varied postures, etc.).
Wikipedia Tango page.

And for clarity, yes, this one is still based on Ballroom Tango (the tame one), although some parts obviously greatly exaggerated for comedic effect, and possibly some addition from Show/Fantasia Tango.

Funny idea May has a semblance similar to Kellam from fire emblem. Being unnoticed even when standing next to people.

The gang is in Atlas and making plans for the night. Weiss invites Jaune out to watch a movie.

"Sorry Weiss, May and I have plans for tonight"

"Who's May?"

Cue Jaune gesturing to May who's been standing next to him the entire time.

Jaune, Nora, and Ren go on to explain she's been hanging out with all of them since the festival and has been traveling with them since the fall of beacon.

Ruby is shocked since she never noticed despite sharing a tent with her at one point.

They think this is a prank until they get shown photos of her with them throughout their journey to Atlas.

Even others like Qrow side with Jaune about knowing she's been there the entire time.

And we have the half-sister Burnice as White!

Yes she is canon to me and I love the idea of Jaune having a half-sister pyromaniac bartender that when she shows up to Beacon can literally out drink Qrow and make him pay for the entire bar while he is passed out. Especially if it can lead to Weiss having a bit of a mental breakdown at seeing what life with a good, happy and supporting family could have been like.

All before getting the clue that Jaune would provide that same thing and decides to throw her hat in much to Pyrrha's, Yang's, and Ruby's annoyance. But not Burnice who would love the idea of Weiss and Jaune marrying just to spite Jacques. Especially after a incident involving him doing something stupid while she had her flamethrower on hand.

Mainly that he opened his mouth.
