[RWBY] RWBY Shorts

Someone get the defibrillator before Weiss and Blake realize that the puns are contagious and their hearts give out.



Question, Talon. How is Blake's grammar when she's writing a fanfic? Like from the technical and stylistic writing standpoint, is she competent?

Of course she's competent! It's the fact she writes with porno logic the whole time and a lot of purple prose that's her real problem.

New prompt idea, either for here of for the NSFW, Yang finds Ruby's "homework" folder, or her browsing history. She's almost as bad as Blake.

Yang: "Oh God this is my fault!"

So she's a budding Jiraiya who needs to internalize the detrimental effect that surplusage has on poignancy, but it is fair to say that her trash is the farthest thing from garbage.

And just like that, we've got another prompt on our hands.

Somebody calls Blake's trash "garbage," or her filth "crap," by mistake. Blake is understandably miffed. She attempts to avenge her honor by catching whoever insulted her having some "me time," with one of her works. It does not go well.

Another idea I had while typing that one out is that Blake is not nearly as discreet about her identity as she thinks she is, and has a considerable social media following that she is completely oblivious to. This leads to a lot of people sharing her fics in Mantle because what with the hole in the wall there is only one way to keep the Grimm at bay, and she ends up winning the election by a landslide as a write-in candidate (the algorithm that Watts used to rig the count was not equipped for ALL of Mantle to be gooning like their lives depend on it - because they do). And the disaster that is Blake with real political power (every policy that she makes, which Ironwood agrees to backfires with catastrophic results (SHUT UP, YANG!)) but having the broadest platform in political history means that it is political suicide to go against her.

Yang: "Down on the farm 4: hitting the hay? , blonde boy breeding?, taking the tsunderes?, homegrown harem?! What the fu-"

*Double checks*

Yang: "Written by redsniperwolf. Ok this is a little concerning but it's only a few."

*Checks the story list*

Yang: 70 completed stories?! , 20 in progress?!, official publications and merch store?!?!"

*Yang faints at the computer with the erotica on screen. Blake finds her.*
 
The Redeemed New
Jaune: "Dad... Why can't I be a paladin like you? Join an order?"

Nick: "Your mother wants you to be a doctor-"

Jaune: "I don't want to be! I want to be like you and Mom! Heroes! Hunters! Why can't I be that?!"

Nick: sighs "... You're very gentle, Jaune. Very kind."

Jaune: "So that makes me weak?!"

Nick: "No. No, kindness is what a knight should be."

Jaune: "But... Your order... Isn't it of Saint Edmund the Just?"

Nick: smiles "Yes. Edmund the Just. Edmund, the one who fought through three Grimm Ogres to break the White Witch's wand! Edmund, the strategist who aided his brother in the great campaigns!"

Jaune: *grins* "Yeah!"

Nick: "And he was also Edmund the Redeemed. He betrayed his siblings and Narnia to the White Witch. He fell for her lies, ate her food. Aslan died in his place. And he redeemed himself and Aslan forgave him. He didn't deserve it, but he received it. Just as none of us deserve Aslan's grace... But He gave it to us anyway."

Jaune: "Oh..."

Nick: "You are kind and warm and don't hold grudges. But... A warrior needs fire as well as kindness. And I don't know if you have that, son."

Jaune: scowls "How will I know if I have it if you don't even give me a chance to prove it?!"

Nick: "... That's true, son. Sometimes... You just have to go and take it. Prove yourself by disobeying the rules."

Jaune: "Dad?"

Nick: nods "Like Edmund... You'll have to take the initiative, and prove yourself. Show that you're more than what you've done. All paladins do, son."

Later... Jaune runs out with armor and a sword and shield, and his luggage. He's running for the gates... Sneaks out... And heads for the train station.

Nick watches him go. Tex stands next to him.


Tex: "You know, you could stop him."

Nick: "I could."

Tex: "So, why not? Your wife's gonna raise hell."

Nick: "I know."

Tex: "Sooo... Why aren't you stopping him?"

Nick: "Because he needs to find his strength."

Tex: "He might die."

Nick: nods "He might... But he will find his way. I have faith. After all... In the end, it's all anyone has."

Tex: deadpan "And you also killed every Grimm between here and the train station."

Nick: "Well, he's still my son and I'm going to do my best for him! I'm not a monster!"
 
Had this pop into my head as a ozma vs Jaune kinda thing. Jaune is more a knight (yes even counting his semblance), and Ozma is a paladin. Since paladins are bound to gods and oaths.

A knight is honor. Fighting for your home, your rulers, and the people below you. A defender at heart.

A Paladin is something much crueler. A Paladin is Duty. You will kill in the name of your God. Men, women, monsters, and Martyrs.
