I have an idea that involves Velvet and i wanted to ask you what you thought of it! :3
A few days after RWBY and Jaune return from the Ever After, Velvet notices that Jaune is keeping his distance from her, and she has no idea why. She asks all of Team RWBY and even Nora, Ren, and Oscar, but they don’t know why he’s doing it either.
She tells Coco about it and she immediately wants to figure it out and the two basically corner Jaune to get him to talk. He relents pretty quickly and says he’s doing it to make sure he doesn’t make Velvet uncomfortable.
Velvet has no idea why he’d make her feel that way, he’s her friend after all, so Jaune explains that soon after returning from Ever After he caught himself reaching to touch her ears out of Habit because he did it with Juniper whenever he was stressed or needed something to ground himself, but he knows that touching a Faunus Trait is a very serious and intimate thing and felt horrible for nearly intruding on her personal space.
Velvet is touched by his thoughtfulness and says she appreciates it immensely, but he doesn’t have to distance himself from his friends, all he had to do was explain from the start and she would understand, and now she does :3
Coco’s still hung up on the fact that Jaune was friends with an honest-to-gods Jackalope LANSKXSBJS
And after Coco and Vel confront him
Sorry I just! I love this scene you’ve set up so much that I wanted to see come to life. Jaune’s always treated so strangely in this fandom. He’s really not that bad if you just focus for a sec.
————
I totally see this scenario being believable. All that trauma from his time in the Everafter. And Juniper was his only stability for so so so long…you don’t forget someone like that. See their ghost in familiar places, in familiar people.
I think it’ll do him good to start being made to process his issues. I haven’t made it to V9 yet but my take on Jaune is he’s just having a bad day constantly. Underdog healer. Being around new company will do him good. Help him process. I think when the trio are alone together they’ll make a lot of progress with that. Unload a lot of that baggage he’s been carrying.
Anyways, boy’s gonna be fine. He’s in good hands and even better company~
Thank you for sending the ask! Here have this for me taking so long.
I love your mm au so much literally if you made a series of one random one shots of just the bees and friends getting up to random shenanigans I would read it in a heartbeat
This is an old one but I might, actually. There were a lot of mini-scenes (and sex scenes) that got cut from the final product of MM due to story flow issues. There's this one scene I cut that I am turning into an art piece instead where they have a bath one morning and Blake sees Yang's stupid rubber ducky collection and asks if they can use them. Then they order pizza and have it while in the bath because what is life if you can't eat pizza while taking a bath (don't @ me about cleanliness ok let the girls live a little)
I really loved that scene, and I'm sad it didn't fit anywhere, but maybe some of y'all might actually wanna read it?
Other cut scenes include;
A very dirty sex scene after Lemon Custard that's full roleplay with the bees
Serena chases off new competition at the club (Neon Katt) by 'marking her territory' with Yang
The actual alley fight between Yang and the White Fang
Car sex LOL
Guy's Night 2.0 with Yang and Pyrrha but this time they have to track down Weiss and Blake WITH Ruby because they get lost after barhopping
Blake teaches Yang Bachata
Early Blake and Weiss before the events of MM when she was living with her for a while
More exploration of Blake dissociation issues
Flashback to Vernal teaching a teenage Yang how to shoot
A collection of mini-scenes that happen during the chapter called Eight that are meant to span over 8 months but don't fit the final product (small conversations, Blake and her parents, Weiss and Yang interactions, mundane stuff like that)
Where Emerald and Blake's long-standing rivalry comes from in literally everything
And a lot of bullshit small scene ideas that I've talked about in private with friends that were just misc details
Here's the sketch of that pizza bath scene as a treat
oh hi!!! I haven't seen anyone on tumblr talk about this yet, so I wanted to make sure you all know that the new miniseries "Journey To China" is being uploaded on yt!!
here's a link!!! 🤲🤲🤲
we've been getting three eps a day so far, and there's already nine* uploaded!! and they're vERY GOOD PLS WATCH THEM— ok byeeeeee 🥰🥰👋👋🥰👋🥰👋🥰
(*7 are currently up on OctoWorld's channel, which is who I linked, and the other 2 are up on Mariana Trench's channel—but I'm sure OW will have the last 2 up soon too!)
do you know what's evil? They never gave us a scene where Xiao Lanhua and Dongfang Qingcang have to spend the night somewhere, maybe an inn in the human world or along the oblivion river and it was just oh so cold and poor little orchid flower really needed *something*, anything to keep her warm through the night... oh if only a guy who can control hell fire was around, maybe he could..... well no, he cant use that under these circumstances.... but maybe.... I don't know.... he could... cuddle her....
Nightmares aren't uncommon, not with the work they do, the lives they've lived. Wounds heal but sometimes the scars are still there, the ghosts haunting them in the darkest of nights.
It's not surprising when Yang wakes up to the sound of quiet sobs, the sight of Blake's back, head in her hands. Her ears are pinned, shoulders shaking, it's been a while since it's happened, but Yang knows exactly what caused this.
Who caused this.

Bumbleby week day 6: Comfort
Shout out to the mods for putting together this year's bee week! Go follow the official blog @bumblebyweek-blog to see more amazing art and fics!
LBFaD has a mobile game collaboration going on with 我本千金 in China right now. If this art looks familiar, it may be because this game previously collaborated with The Untamed a few months back.
Go HERE for pictures of the gameplay and some really cute chibi art. I’m particularly fond of this Xiao Lanhua:
And thanks so much to LBFAD ARCHIVES for bringing this to our attention. ❤️❤️
EDIT: here’s some textless versions of a few cards from Weibo:
