[RWBY] RWBY Shorts

[Ragnarok]

She's still doing her damnedest to get a hit put on her head, though, and I'm amazed that this more worldly Jaune's not calling her out on it.

Click to shrink...

I imagine the status of Huntress comes with some status that makes it very impractical to put a hit on one. Plus Hunters, especially those in training, come with a team that would be gunning for the poor bastard who succeeded in offing their teammate. It's just not worth it.

 

[AndrewJTalon]

It was a beautiful Saturday. Team RWBY found Team JNPR outside on Beacon's main lawn at the picnic tables. They sat together, enjoying some tea out of some thermoses. With them was an elegant older woman, dressed in a blue and white dress, sipping her tea from a very old fashioned set. Her white hair was elegantly tied up in a bun with blue ribbons, save for a single ahoge standing on the top of her head, and her blue eyes crinkled with smile lines.

"Hey guys! My uh... My Nana came to visit," Jaune explained.

Weiss breathed a small sigh of relief. Finally, a normal Arc!

"Aren't you going to introduce me to the rest of your friends, Jaune? It's very rude," Arturia gently scolded him, a fond smile on her face.

Jaune winced.

"Sorry. Um, Nana? This is Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Yang Xiao-Long, and Blake Belladonna. Everyone? This is my Nana Arturia."

The members of RWBY gave polite greetings back. Weiss even curtseyed, which Arturia seemed to approve of before she turned back to Jaune.

"I'm very proud of you, Jaune. Getting into Beacon! First try, too!" Arturia complimented him. Jaune flushed and looked around gratefully at his friends.

"Er uh, well... I had a lot of help," Jaune admitted modestly.

Ruby smiled back, before she asked the most natural and socially appropriate question she could think of.

"Oh... Wow. Your Nana? So she's your grandma?"

Nailed it, she thought.

"Great-grandmother actually," Arturia clarified.

"WOW! You must be super old!" Ruby exclaimed in awe.

"RUBY!" Weiss scolded.

Yang couldn't help but snicker, even as she put Ruby in a headlock.

"URK! YANG!" Ruby complained.

Arturia laughed, sipping her tea at the antics of the two sisters,

"I am!"

"Er, yeah," Jaune confirmed, looking a bit embarrassed.

Pyrrha was visibly starstruck.

"She fought in the Great War!"

"Oh, I did my part," Arturia responded modestly.

"Well, that's very impressive," Weiss acknowledged.

"You don't actually look that old," Yang commented, letting Ruby go.

"Healthy living! I keep in shape!" Arturia said, then turned her attention back to Jaune. "I hope you are keeping up with your training, Jaune?"

"I am!" Jaune assured her.

Arturia looked thoughtful as she sipped her cup of tea.

"Hm... Mind if I test you?" Arturia proposed.

"Ummm..." Jaune hesitated.

"It would be wonderful, Jaune! Can she test me, next?" Pyrrha chimed in eagerly.

"Me too! She seems SUPER fun!" Nora added excitedly.

Ren nodded, "It would be an honor, ma'am."

RWBY was left feeling confused. Though they all noted the large metal briefcase near the old woman. Arturia chuckled, and patted the case like it was an old, familiar friend.

"Oh, I'm deeply flattered! Honestly though, I don't know how much fun I'll be. I'm old, after all. And I do want to check on Jaune's progress."

Jaune looked extremely nervous, which Blake, Yang, Weiss, and Ruby noticed.

"Well uh... I mean, Pyrrha is training me—"

"Hmmmm..." Arturia eyed Pyrrha with a keen expression. "I see. I'll test her first then?"

Pyrrha's eyes seemed to shine. Ruby frowned.

She's that excited to fight an old lady? She thought.

"Wonderful! Is here and now good?" Pyrrha asked excitedly.

"Perfectly!" Arturia agreed.

"Uh, Pyrrha? You sure you want to do this?" Ruby asked, concerned.

"Yeah, I mean uh... Maybe Jaune's Nana needs to take a break? It must have been a long trip from uh... Where are you from?" Yang questioned.

Arturia finished her tea, then rose, "Radian."

"Right, there," Yang echoed. Weiss's manners took over as she stepped nearer with a smile.

"Yes! Surely we can wait, have some more tea-?"

"No, no. I do need to know just who is teaching my great-grandson," Arturia insisted. Jaune sighed, looking resigned. He then got up and picked up the briefcase. With some difficulty, he lifted it.

"Nngh… All right," He handed the heavy briefcase over to her. Arturia took it, the small old woman barely even noticing the burden she carried. Jaune sucked in a deep breath.

"Um... Just remember, Nana—" Jaune tried. Arturia reached out and patted Jaune's bicep with a fond smile.

"Oh Jaune, you worrywart! You're such a sweet lad. But your partner will be fine." Arturia chuckled and stretched, "Mmm! Honestly, she seems like she'll give me some trouble. But I like trouble!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Arc!" Pyrrha gleefully.

"Call me Nana Arturia!" Arturia replied with warmth.

"Hee!" Pyrrha giggled, her cheeks red.

As Arturia and Pyrrha walked off onto the grassy knoll, Ruby frowned deeply.

"Um... Why are we letting the... How old is she?"

"One hundred and five," Jaune answered blandly.

"One hundred and five year old woman fight the best student in Beacon?!" Ruby asked.

Jaune shook his head.

"Honestly? I'm more worried about Pyrrha," he confessed. Weiss frowned.

"Her?! What about your great-grandmother?! She looks... Well, she's well preserved but she's still really old!" Weiss countered quietly.

"Ah. So you don't recognize her," Ren noted. Weiss scowled.

"Recognize who? I'll admit she looks... A little familiar," Weiss pondered.

"Waiiit for it!" Nora anticipated with a broad grin.

Arturia then pulled on gray armor, which expanded and locked around her midsection. She donned gauntlets and greaves that automatically locked into place. She then drew a sword that glowed with Aura Energy, her eyes reflecting the same power. In a moment, Nana Arturia had transformed from a sweet old lady to a deadly knight, her face and eyes grim with the promise of battle.

Pyrrha was practically beside herself with excitement.

"Wha...?! No.. No way-!" Weiss gasped.

Blake's eyes widened in disbelief.

Arturia's sword turned invisible, and in a split second, she was hammering her mighty blade against Pyrrha's Milo and Akoúo̱ so fast that sparks flew. Pyrrha tried to rally and go on the offensive, but Arturia's speed, precision, reach, and strength were phenomenal. Pyrrha feinted and tried to flank Arturia, but the elderly woman parried her strikes, giving ground slowly as Pyrrha became more mobile.

Pyrrha then feinted and side-flipped to get behind Arturia. The knight swung her blade behind herself, unleashing an Aura Slash that Pyrrha barely dodged, cutting a tree behind her in half and sending it falling over.

All of RWBY was gobsmacked; Jaune looked relieved, Nora cheered, and Ren smiled softly.

"Haa... Haa... Haa... Very impressive, young lady." Arturia raised her sword in salute.

"Haa... Haa... You too, Nana Arturia!" Pyrrha panted, unbelievably happy.

Arturia hummed thoughtfully, turning a critical eye over the young woman.

"That said, you rely very heavily on your Semblance to fight. If you were blinded or distracted by loud noises, it could throw off your concentration. It is admirable you are so gifted and train so hard... But do not forget that true battle does not have rules," Arturia advised.

"Yes Nana Arturia!" Pyrrha responded eagerly. Arturia looked at her great-Grandson.

"Hmmm... Also... Jaune? While Pyrrha is very good at swordplay... I don't think emulating her style suits you, at least in that way. She's very mobile, you are not," Arturia observed.

"Er, well, not really," Jaune admitted. Arturia nodded.

"I will teach you my own style while she trains you in more general combat. You should know how to fight like a proper knight: Great cunning and calculation, but speed and strength are just as important!" Arturia stated.

Jaune nodded, "Um... What will Mom say though?"

Arturia sighed.

"I may have respected her wishes when you were a child, but you have clearly chosen your path."

"Thank you Nana," Jaune smiled.

Ruby got her mouth working first.

"That armor… That sword… That style…?"

Ruby's silver eyes widened.

"Nana… Arturia…P-Pendragon-Arc?!" She gasped.

Arturia chuckled softly and nodded.

"Pendragon is my maiden name. I took my husband's last name: Arc!"

Dead silence ensued until Blake broke it.

"Your Nana... Is Empress Arturia Pendragon?! Queen of Albion?! The Saber Queen?!"

Jaune coughed. Pyrrha looked like she was holding in a squeal of delight. Nora grinned broadly. Arturia chuckled, holding a hand to her cheek.

"Oh my, that was a very long time ago. I abdicated, after all," Arturia replied modestly.

"Y-You slew over ten thousand enemy soldiers in ONE DAY during the siege of Camelot!" Weiss exclaimed.

"Did I? Huh! I didn't really keep count. Couldn't afford to," Arturia said nonchalantly.

A tall old man with tanned skin, white hair, and golden-brown eyes approached, carrying bags of fast food. He wore plain black and white clothing, save for a long red coat. He smiled warmly as he came up to Arturia. He bent down to kiss her, which she happily returned.

"Mwah! Hello darling!" Arturia greeted.

"Hey," Shirou returned.

"Hey Papa Shirou," Jaune added with a wave.

"SHIROU?!" The RWBY girls gasped.

"That's me. Nice to meet you!" Shirou introduced himself. He then smirked a bit. "As for that battle? I got about half of them, but I wasn't keeping count either. Too busy watching you, beloved," the man said with a smile to Arturia.

Arturia blushed and giggled like a schoolgirl.

"Aw! Sweet as always, my beloved Shirou. Did you get-?" Arturia asked.

"Yes, just how you like them. I see you worked up a sweat!" Shirou confirmed, handing her a bag.

Arturia took out a burger and sat down with her husband at the picnic table, happily eating as Shirou smiled and joined her with his own burger.

"Shirou Arc, of Unlimited Blade Works?!" Weiss gasped.

"Holy crap...!" Yang muttered, looking back and forth between Jaune and his great-grandfather. Shirou smiled at Blake and nodded.

"Heh. Been a while since I was called that. You're a good student of history!" Shirou complimented.

"Th-Thank you sir!" Weiss thanked with a blush.

"Call me Papa!" Shirou insisted.

"O-Oh my," Weiss murmured as Blake smirked.

Ruby grabbed Jaune and dragged him aside, with the rest of RWBY and JNPR joining them a short distance away as Shirou and Arturia enjoyed their burgers. Ruby then grabbed his arms and glared up at him with adorable little pout.

"When were you going to TELL ME your great-grandparents were some of the most incredible fighters in history?!" Ruby demanded.

"You're of THOSE Arcs?!" Weiss gasped. Jaune coughed and shrugged.

"I-I mean… You didn't ask?" Jaune replied in exasperation.

"I-But-THEY'RE SO COOL!" Ruby gasped. "INCREDIBLE!"

"Yes. I know. But to me, they're just my great-grandparents. So please..." Jaune sighed.

"O-Oh, um, sorry," Ruby blushed deeply, pulling away from Jaune.

Weiss cleared her throat.

"You know, um... It is curious you didn't bring them up. With me," Weiss noted.

"Oh, so now you're interested in him?" Yang teased.

"In his family history!" Weiss clarified.

Jaune sighed heavily.

"Because of this, okay? I love them to death... But I'm not using them to get attention. I want to earn my way through life myself... Not thanks to their names," Jaune explained.

"... I... I can understand that, Ar-Um... Jaune," Weiss conceded.

"Same," Blake agreed.

Jaune smiled warmly at his friends. Pyrrha smiled back and cleared her throat.

"Completely, Jaune. I just... It's such an honor to fight her! She's still so incredible!" Pyrrha said, thrilled.

Yang grinned.

"You think I could fight her next?! Or your Papa? Damn, he still looks amazing! I am seeing the future and I like it~!"

Pyrrha turned a very brittle smile onto Yang.

"What do you mean by that?"

"What do you think I mean, P-Money?" Yang countered, her eyes flashing red as she grinned like a hungry dragon.

Weiss cleared her throat and held up her hands.

"Hey! There's no need to fight! Especially not over Arc!" Weiss interjected, though her voice lacked her usual ire with Jaune. Blake smirked.

"Says the girl who's been eyeing his great-grandpa with lust in her eyes since he showed up?" Blake teased.

"I have not!" Weiss retorted, bright red.

"DID YOU SEE THAT ARMOR?!" Ruby asked in awe.

"IT WENT ALL SWOOSH AND CRANK AND WHIRR-WHIRR!" Nora mimicked the sounds with some elaborate hand gestures.

"Indeed," Ren deadpanned dryly.

Pyrrha and Yang glared at one another over their smiles. Weiss and Blake argued, while Nora chanted "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" Ren continued to sip tea from his own thermos, looking faintly amused.

Jaune sighed. He walked over to his great-grandparents and sat down. Ruby joined him, deciding to let her friends deal with their problems herself. Shirou handed them some burgers, which they both began to dig into.

"If it helps, son, I've been where you are. With your great-Aunties Sakura and Rin," Shirou offered with a small smile. .

"What happened?" Jaune asked.

Arturia swallowed a bite of her burger, a bit of ketchup on her cheek. Shirou automatically wiped it clean with a paper towel, which she smiled thankfully to before she spoke.

"I beat them into submission and made it clear Shirou was my man and I was first wife. This will work itself out," Arturia said confidently.

Jaune groaned… While Ruby got a speculative look on her face.

"Ruby?" Jaune asked.

"Oh, um, nothing!" Ruby quickly lied with a big smile.

Shirou - "Well, I'll admit this is uncharted territory."

Jaune - "Yang and Pyrrha knocked each other out at the same time!"

Shirou - "Under old Valoise law the winner would become the legal wife, and the loser a concubine to ensure the continuity of the family...."

Tai - "Luckily there's an exception under modern Valeish law for Huntsmen to have more than one spouse, it's how I married Ruby's mom after Raven just flat ran out on us, without so much as a note."

Jaune - "Don't I get a say in this?"

Qrow - "Not if you know what's good for you, you damn harem protagonist!"

Kek them showing ups gonna cause a lot of hilarity. More than they already did. Wonder if Cinder and CJ were watching?

[AndrewJTalon]

On the roof of their dorm, Pyrrha and Jaune were engaged in a training session. The sun set, painting the sky in hues of purple and orange. The first stars began to twinkle above them, casting a peaceful, almost romantic ambiance over the scene. Jaune managed a skillful move, catching Pyrrha's blade and knocking it aside while sliding into her guard. With his sword at her throat, both were panting from the effort, but Pyrrha's face was lit with a smile.

"Wonderful, Jaune! Much, much better!" she exclaimed.

Jaune lowered his weapons, his own smile breaking through.

"All thanks to you, Pyr. Am I actually getting better?"

"Much! You know how many people could actually get their blade on me?" Pyrrha responded.

"We are just training—" Jaune began, but Pyrrha cut him off, her hand gently resting on his chestplate.

"Jaune... You're really doing well. Please, take the compliment."

Flushing, Jaune nodded.

"Pyr... Thank you. Thank you for everything."

They stood there in silence, just enjoying the moment as the setting sun backlit them. For a moment, Jaune almost imagined a loving look in Pyrrha's eyes. Which of course was ridiculous. She was just his friend. His dearest friend… A super attractive woman who was touching him… Staring into his eyes…

Suddenly, a voice broke the tranquility.

"KISSSSSSS!"

Both Jaune and Pyrrha jumped back in surprise, looking around to find the source of the interruption.

"Who was—?!" Pyrrha looked around, while Jaune groaned.

"Oh no..."

A beautiful woman, blonde with a veil over her face, dressed in black, floated down onto the roof. She huffed in mock annoyance.

"Is that any way to greet your great-great Auntie, Jaune?"

"Hello, Aunt Morgan," Jaune said wearily.

Pyrrha flushed.

"O-Oh? Um... Hello, ma'am?"

Jaune gestured to Pyrrha.

"This is-"

Morgan snorted.

"Of course I know who she is! Pyrrha Nikos!" She beamed at them both, "And you two could make some amazing babies together!"

Pyrrha turned bright red, stuttering rapidly, while Jaune scolded her.

"AUNTIE! You do this every time! Stop it! You're weirding out my friend!"

Morgan continued unabated, "Well it's not MY fault that your bloodline would allow your progeny to become immensely powerful and let me reclaim the throne of Albion and rule the world! Of course, I could always use a Black Knight!"

She beamed as she hugged Jaune.

"What do you say, Nephew? You'd be at my side, helping me conquer all the world! And you'd give me not only lands, but grandbabies!"

Pyrrha squeaked, her cheeks burning as red as the setting sun. Jaune scowled.

"For the last time, NO."

"Come on!" Morgan protested, "If you don't like her, how about that blonde brawler? Or the catgirl? Or the Schnee heiress? Or the silver eyed girl, when she grows up a bit? Or all of them at once?"

Jaune sighed as his shoulders slumped.

"Can't you go bother any of our other family members?"

"They keep throwing salt at me! And cold iron! Can you imagine the nerve?!" Morgan whined.

"Yes. Yes I can," Jaune deadpanned.

Morgan then dramatically fell to her knees and grabbed his hand.

"Please Jaune! Ever since the divorce with Lot I had to do Only Fans just to make ends meet! Please be my Black Knight?!"

Jaune gaped in disbelief before yanking his hand away.

"You have so many other skills, Auntie! Why are you doing THAT?!"

Morgan shrugged.

"It feeds my ego and my capricious vices!"

Suddenly, another voice boomed, "SISTER!"

Morgan gasped as Arturia leaped up onto the roof. The former Empress of Vytal brandished her sword as Morgan growled.

"SISTER!" Morgan responded in kind.

"I told you to leave my great-grandson alone!" Arturia growled.

"And I told you to leave my great-grandnephew alone! Especially when I'm scheming!"

"I told you, NO MORE SCHEMING!" Arturia shouted.

"I'm the older sister! I'll do all the scheming I want!" Morgan shouted.

Arturia swung her sword, unleashing an Aura blade. Morgan jumped over the energy blast, and summoned up a staff to fire Aura-powered Dust blasts back.

As the two fought furiously, Jaune turned to the still blushing Pyrrha. He patted her shoulder gently.

"I'm really sorry about that. She's been really hurting ever since the divorce and falling out with Nana... You okay, Pyrrha?"

"S-So many babies…"

Jaune blinked.

"Pyr?"

Pyrrha, still a bit dazed, coughed and shook her head.

"I-I'm fine!"

 

[LordofBones]

The appearance of the Nasu cast kick-starts a Summer Event in Beacon, somehow transporting everyone to a beach and throwing them into suitable swimsuits. Hilariously enough, Pyrrha somehow gets Maiden Powers - Summer Pyrrha is a Caster.

Summer Blake, no longer able to rely on stealth in a tiny swimsuit and under the open air, has to embrace her Saber side.

Nobody knows what's going on, but it's probably Merlin's fault.

A few prompts:

-Blake is out late searching for White Fang leads when she runs into Jaune: Who is out late looking for a child's lost pet cat. She asked him to help her while he was out and so he's doing it. Blake thinks it's a bit of a waste of time... But the fact he's so earnest about it draws her into it. They bond.

-Ren and Nora didn't just walk into Beacon fully grown up. They had to get training from somewhere. So here's my suggestion: Ren and Nora came to a village where the equivalent of a Shaolin Monk temple was, as well as an old Viking-like warrior who wielded a hammer, was a Dust expert, and runs a restaurant. The monks trained Ren since one of them knew his father. And Nora was trained by the Viking warrior. But where Nora found her ideal mentor and her true path in life... Ren gained skills, he gained power, but he did not find peace. Let's explore this.

-There's a Culture Festival at Beacon. What does every team do for it? And indeed, maybe we can mix it up. Some different classes can do stuff as well.

-More ideas for the Arc Clan:

>His distant cousin Harleen Quinzel (Batman, Harley Quinn)

>Aunt Cammy White (Street Fighter)

>Peter Parker, another distant cousin (Spider-Man)

I still say that a crossover where Juane falls into the DC-verse and ends up saving Harley from her obsession with the joker by a combination of Jaune talking to her, Joker prioritizing Batman over her, and Jaune saving her leading to her becoming obsessed with him is still hilarious.

Heck you can then either increase the shenanigans by adding other villains (except Cat Woman, she's for Batman (though I still think Batman and Wonder Woman is more interesting)), adding other heroes (Jessica and Supergirl in particular).

On a different note, Jaune is probably no stranger to the death penalty, you can't have criminals generating negativity after all. So having him go through a moral dilemma as he battles whether to kill the Joker or not would make for an interesting one.

The dichotomy that forms would certainly make the plot interesting. Because as a Huntsman it's possible they have jurisdiction to kill someone who is a threat to a civilian population. The reason I bring that up seems to be that I think Batman is A. afraid of what it'll become if they (the League) become judge, jury, and executioner. B. Worries about what'll happen if they start to kill all their enemies and lose that restraint. C. And is just scared of himself.

Also I'm surprised Wonder Woman doesn't kill him, or Green Lantern (John Steward) for that matter.

Also I kinda wanna see him unlock the aura of Nora Fries aka Mr. Freeze's wife and save her that way.

Idk, maybe I'm crazy.

Simple and clean idea.

Ruby and her friends don't fall into the everafter. Instead they land in Hollow Bastion.

The cat & Blake in a nutshell:

[AndrewJTalon]

Also! It's Blake Belladonna's Birthday! Let's make this week focused on her for fun! Knightshade is more than welcome!

 

[AndrewJTalon]

A few ideas:

-Jaune Arc and Ruby Rose are the ideal people to be unaffected by changes to the timeline by time travel or temporal anomalies, etc, due to what they went through in the Ever After? So what if Jaune woke up one day to a world where he's married to Pyrrha? Where he's a hero, protecting the weak, saving the innocent, and the Greatest Knight... Under Queen Salem the Immortal? And where Ruby Rose wakes up to where her mother is alive but is the leader of the resistance against Queen Salem's tyranny?

-Blake Belladonna meets various people from different backgrounds as she tries to understand things outside of White Fang. Some possibilities:

>Goldie, a human orphan who was adopted and raised by a Bear Faunus family. She married a Dog Faunus and has kids with him. The White Fang and racist humans keep harassing her and her family as "traitors". She herself actually has a low opinion of humans in general because of this despite being one, but also White Fang and a lot of Faunus too.

>Velvet Scarlatina. She's half-human, so she gets crap not just from racist humans but also from racist Faunus-Even members of her own family.

>Mercer Sith Senior, a Cat Faunus of a family that swore their loyalty to the Arc Family for centuries. He fought on the side of humanity in the Faunus Revolution. He was never a slave, nor was his family. His son is marrying one of the Arc girls, and he's very proud of him. He admits there is plenty of prejudice in the world but hating all of humanity is not the answer.

>Gato Zapatos, essentially this world's version of Zorro/Puss in Boots, an aged but legendary Faunus hero. He did fight against injustice, but left White Fang and Menagerie out of disillusionment with how they went from fighting against oppression, to becoming oppressors themselves.

>Sun Wukong, an orphan raised by a human monk with his Faunus adoptive brothers who never felt alienated by humans and hated the White Fang.

>Cardin Winchester, who admits he holds a grudge against Faunus for killing members of his family. But after Forever Fall, when he was talked to by his parents after he admitted the bullying he was doing, he learned that they didn't HATE Faunus in general, just Faunus terrorists. He also got called a racist growing up by Faunus teachers and students in school for what his family did during the Revolution. Cardin thus is actually trying to overcome his resentment and hatred but he's having a hard time of it.

Basically, a lot of ways for her to understand how regular Faunus and humans live and deal with things outside of the bubble of Menagerie and the White Fang. Something Sun kind of did in the canon, but we didn't get much of because of how badly the entire thing was handled. Blake getting pushed into doing this to truly make up for running out on her friends and to grow as a person.

-Blake learns that Jaune had a Faunus girlfriend before coming to Beacon and is... Curious. Which Jaune misconstrues as her being into him. Hijinks ensue.

 

[FourthPear]

What would be funnier, Juane think Blake is into him or Juane thinking Blake is racist and/or a feteshist?

 

[SharkCultist]

Ok here's a few Blake ideas none of them are hugely fleshed out but oh well.


The curious cat tries to steal Blake's body instead of Ruby (because cat superiority) and ends up fusing instead of overwriting.


Blake decides after leaving Adam that she's done with fighting all together. She decides to become a fisherman/sushi chef instead and sets up a small shop in patch.


Young Blake sees Weiss doing concerts and decides she'll do concerts too. Better ones!

After leaving Adam Blake goes back to menagerie to tell sienna just how off the rails Adam has gone. Ends up accidentally surprising her while she's eating and she chokes to death in a sardine. Now apparently Blake is the new leader of the white fang by "bloody violent takeover" and has a reputation of a ruthless killer. (By association with Adam and accidentally killing a woman) Blake is not happy with this.




Blake tries to write books. Books preaching unity between faunus and humans and understanding. Unfortunately to everyone else it comes off as vaguely fetishistic. Velvet approves.




After a encounter with Adam while at beacon Blake gets a little tipsy to drown her nerves. And while drunk she goes online and absolutely roasts Adam. She posts all his deep dark secrets (except the eye brand she's not that big a bitch). His fetishes, his need to use a nightlight, his love of sappy overly dramatic soap opera. She even told me them about the tattoo of her face on his left asscheek.
