As the child of a deadbeat alcoholic myself, I agree. Though Willow at least mothered up in the end, I'll give her that much middling credit.

Realizing you fucked up isn't deserving of forgiveness by itself, though. Winter might not care as much since she was almost an adult and promptly fucked off at the first opportunity she had (which is her own failure as a sister that I can never forgive), but Weiss and Whitley had to spend over half their lives enduring Jacques' abuse and neglect alone while turned against each other. Willow's rightfully got a long, uphill battle to fight if she wants any of her children to accept her again.

And the worst part? She said to Weiss that "You left us behind"

Bitch it isn't her responsibility to take care of your family because you spread your legs for the wrong guy and then didn't have the balls to woman up and take care of your kids. Like goddamn have some self respect but no, rather she reinforced the steretype of the weak, sheltered heiress who shattered the moment reality hits and is now looking to blame anyone else.

It happened during a joint training exercise in the old ruins outside Beacon. Well, that's what Weiss would call it.



Weiss had been poking around the collapsed ancient temple (purely for "historical research," she claimed) when she found it: a small, pyramid-shaped device pulsing with faint red light, half-buried under rubble. The moment she picked it up, she knew what it was.



A Sith Holocron.



Specifically, one that had once belonged to Darth Revan, if her grandmother's instruction meant anything.



Her first instinct was to destroy it. Her second was far more interesting.



She brought it straight to Pyrrha.



The two of them stood in an empty classroom, the Holocron sitting between them on a desk like forbidden fruit.



"Weiss," Pyrrha said slowly, eyes gleaming with dangerous curiosity, "do you realize what this is?"



Weiss smirked. "Of course I do. The secrets, the power..."



"It also means others have visited this world!" Pyrrha gasped. "More secrets exist on this world!"



"More importantly," Weiss emphasized, "our resident dense Jedi has no idea what a real Sith Holocron looks like."



Pyrrha's smile turned sharp. "You're suggesting we… rebrand it."



"Exactly." Weiss leaned in. "We tell him it's a lost Jedi Holocron. Something ancient and powerful. We let him open it. And then… we see what happens when he is exposed to the teachings of Darth Revan."



Pyrrha's eyes glowed faintly red for a moment. "He'll Fall. And when he does… he'll be mine."



Weiss's smile faltered for half a second. "…We'll discuss custody later."

That evening, Jaune was polishing his armor in the JNPR common room when Weiss and Pyrrha knocked on the door. They looked suspiciously friendly which immediately raised the alarm in his head.



"Jaune," Weiss said, holding up the disguised Holocron (now glowing a soft, innocent blue thanks to a quick Dust trick). "We found something extraordinary in the ruins today. A Jedi Holocron. It belonged to one of the ancient Masters."



Pyrrha nodded, voice soft and reverent. "We thought you should be the one to open it. After all… it might contain knowledge that can help you."



Uh huh, Jaune thought. Wow, he was becoming cynical fast. Still... He could sense the Force energy in it. It was authentic. Maybe... Maybe they were being genuine?



Jaune's eyes widened. "Really? That's… wow. Thank you both."



He took the Holocron carefully, like it was made of glass. The device hummed in his hands, recognizing the Force in him.



"Let's see," Jaune muttered, "My dad has one... How do I open it... Ah!"



He focused, and made the Holocron float over his hand. He twisted the corners with his telekinetic power.



With a soft click, it opened.



A holographic figure shimmered into existence: He stood tall and imposing, his presence alone enough to make the air feel heavier. His face was completely concealed behind a sleek, angular helmet of dark durasteel. The helmet's design was both elegant and menacing, a fusion of Mandalorian craftsmanship and Sith iconography. A narrow, glowing crimson T-visor cut across the front like a predator's glare, while subtle red accents and engraved runes traced along the sides, giving the impression that the mask itself was alive with dark power.



Draped over his armored form was a long, flowing cloak of the deepest black, lined with blood-red silk that shimmered like fresh wounds when it caught the light. The cloak was heavy and dramatic, billowing around him with every movement as though the darkness itself obeyed his will. It framed his silhouette like a royal mantle, turning every step into something regal and terrifying.



Beneath the cloak, his armor was a masterwork of intimidation and practicality. Matte black durasteel plates, segmented and reinforced, hugged a lean but powerfully built frame. Red detailing ran along the edges of the chest plate, pauldrons, and gauntlets like veins of molten fury. The chest bore a subtle, stylized Sith insignia, while the broad, angular pauldrons gave him the unmistakable silhouette of a warlord who had conquered empires. The armor was clearly Mandalorian in influence, functional, battle-worn, and built for both war and command, yet refined with the dark elegance only a Sith Lord could command.



Darth Revan.



The girls leaned in, barely breathing.



The hologram spoke in a deep, amused voice:



"If you're watching this, then I'm probably dead. Which is annoying. But before I go, I wanted to leave something behind for the people I actually cared about."



"Bastila, if you're the one who found this... I love you. Your smile is more beautiful and dangerous than any lightsaber. Also, here are the recipes for those Mantellian dumplings you like. I finally got the spice ratios right. Don't tell the Jedi Council I was cooking in the temple kitchen again."



A second hologram flickered on — a detailed recipe for dumplings, complete with handwritten notes in the margins like "Add more garlic, she loves garlic" and "Bastila says these are better than the ones on Dantooine."



The room was silent.



Jaune blinked. "Wait… is this a cookbook?"



Weiss's eye twitched. "That's… that's it?"



Pyrrha stared at the hologram like it had personally betrayed her. "Revan… left a love letter and dumpling recipes?"



The hologram finished with one last message:



"Also, if you're some random Jedi who found this: Don't be a dick. The Force is about balance, not being an asshole. And tell Bastila I... Well, she'll know."



The Holocron powered down.



Jaune scratched his head. "That was… surprisingly wholesome?"



Weiss looked like she wanted to throw something. "We risked our lives dragging that thing out of a Sith temple and it's dumplings?!"



Pyrrha's smile had gone very, very strained. "I… may have miscalculated."



"Really?" Weiss demanded, "What was your first clue?!"



"It was your idea!" Pyrrha growled.



As they argued, Jaune sighed in exasperation. He really shouldn't drop his guard: He couldn't get lucky every time!



Well, at least those dumplings sounded good.

 

[Bev]

Yup. The Force have a thing for good meaning blond himbos.

 

[NightDranzer]

Wasn't Revan the guy who managed to both be a Sith AND a Jedi at the same time? Considering Jaune is stated to be basically if Ozma and Salem were one person (personality wise), this could actually be perfect for him; to wield both Light and Dark while still remaining a wholesome Himbo.

In a way: Weiss and Pyrrha would HAVE succeeded...and opened themselves up to Jaune trying to instill Jedi teachings in them as well, "in exchange. Just to make it a fair trade".

He is the Protagonist in the same way Ron Stoppable is the Protagonist in Kim Possible. Everything points to Team RWBY being the Kim to Jaune's Ron.

I understand the premise but reject it on the basis that team RWBY is no where near as close to competent as Kim. Though it does lead to the premise of househusband Jaune quite well.

Most "good" characters suffer from stupidity that seems to be magically missing from the "bad" side.

A Jaune who utilizes himself in a discreet non threatening manner, is quite a sight.

A genuinely evil Jaune would probably make Salem and Ozpin alike incredibly unnerved and even terrified. We're talking a man who could easily slide his way into controlling the SDC by seducing Willow after killing off Jacques while making him appear as a simply caring man helping a 'heartbroken' widow. After that would come the blackmail on people in high places of power everywhere, all the while his friends would be pretty much completely unaware that the Jaune they knew is just a mask being worn by a stranger.

Evil doesn't always mean cackling and cruel. Sometimes, as we seen in the real world, evil will wear a kind smile.

"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!" Isiah 5:20

Yeah, it's not a new idea in human existence or literature. And it's very telling that CRWBY can't do subtlety to save their lives, and that the side "joke" character grew into the closest thing to a protagonist this show has.

 

[AndrewJTalon]

Here are some delicious prompts:

-For Jedi Jaune:

>Nick finally visits Beacon. Pyrrha, Weiss, Yang and Ruby inevitably try to attack him.

>Athena visits and tries to seduce Jaune to the Darkside. Pyrrha objects-She should be be the one to do it!

>Willow seeks to seduce Jaune to the Darkside. Weiss has objections as well!

>Manbu, Taiyang's dad, tells Yang and Ruby they need to work harder! Fighting a Jedi is the most fun thing a Mando can do! So get better at it!

>Nora, feeling left out, wants to have cool space stuff too! She drags Ren off to find it! Blake goes along too-Not that she's jealous or anything!

-For Jaune Arc, Single Father

>Cinder ends up babysitting Mia. She is a heartless terrorist... But this little girl has a way of slipping past her defenses. And she's not sure how to feel about it.

>Yang and Jaune's not-date pushes the other girls to drag Jaune off on "not-dates" too.

>Cardin and Jaune commiserate over their four year olds.

>Ruby wants to be seen as more mature.

-In general:

>Ruby learns that Summer and Ozpin were very close... And thanks to a stray comment by Qrow, she worries that Ozpin is her actual father!

>Jaune takes mechanical lessons from Yang to make himself more useful.

>Pyrrha wants to be a bad girl. Neo teaches her how.

A Jaune without his usual self-deprecating hangups is a Jaune without restraints. The main reason (directly from CRWBY Round Table, to explain the in-universe reason as to why Jaune never actively uses Aura Amp on himself) Jaune doesn't use his Semblance to its fullest potential is precisely because of how little he thinks of himself.

 

[Bofors40mm]

Thinking about it all things considered Glynda really does need some assistant professors in the realm of combat training.

Like seriously need someone teaching hand to hand and someone whose good at weapons because I rather doubt for all her skills Glynda is good at training people at say swordsmanship.

No, the reason he doesn't use Aura Amp on himself (or anyone else) is because CRWBY realized he would break the setting and just made him NOT USE IT.
