I swear, there was this one prompt you had where Cinder was a goddess and Ruby was a servant. If not, what would Cinder be like as a fire goddess? What's her story?

(You were right, and I'll do a continuation of it.)

Cinder scoffed as she watched the mortals down below, unimpressed by what she had seen over the millennia. There was a time when her name used to echo through the world like a roar or rage the land like a storm. A time when people used to sacrifice to her for blessings of strength for war and to make their enemies kneel to them. But that time was long gone, her name nearly forgotten save for a single woman that had been leaving offerings at a shrine that had been long abandoned. She ran her fingers through the flames that allowed her to keep tabs on the mortal realm, smirking as she watched the woman pace around in her home.

“Dont you think you’re taking this a bit too far?”

“Too far would be allowing her to actually sacrifice someone for me.” Cinder turned to face Pyrrha, the goddess of victory, as she entered into her domain. “I need to be sure that this mortal is willing to do anything I ask before I give her any blessings.”

Pyrrha rolled her eyes. “And years of offerings isnt enough?”

Cinder frowned for a moment, then smiled as she picked up a bit of flame and threw it at Pyrrha, watching as it danced around her. “Of course you’d say that, afterall, you pick your champions as if they were flowers. Finding all the pretty ones only to watch them wither and die as you use them as you see fit.”

“I dont let them wither-”

“While I need someone who is strong, can be molded into whatever I need.” Cinder smiled as she disappeared in a wisp of smoke, reappearing behind Pyrrha and rubbing her shoulders. “I’m tired of being used for a mortal’s gain and want to make sure that those who believe in me are willing to stay even after they receive my blessings.”

Pyrrha moved Cinder’s hands off her shoulders and sighed. “And resorting to tricks is your idea of making sure she truly believes in you?”

“And what do you do, give away your boons to the first person who asks?” Cinder pulled away from Pyrrha and went back to her flame and watched the woman she wanted to test. “Or do you find someone who is worthy of your power by giving them a trail that only they can pass?”

“And what is this supposed to prove? That she’ll kill for you?”

Cinder sighed and looked towards Pyrrha. “Then what do you suggest?”

“I suggest trying to live amongst the mortals,” Pyrrha answered as she leaned against her spear. “It's what the rest of us do to find those that can carry our boons. Besides, do you even know the girl that’s been leaving you offerings?”

“Of course I do, I’ve been watching her for years.”

“Then what’s her name?”

Cinder paused for a moment as she glanced at the woman through the flame, realizing she didnt actually know her name, only as the girl that gave her offerings when others left her. “I… why does it matter if I dont know her name?”

“If you dont know the name of your follower, how are you supposed to expect her to actually follow you?” Pyrrha smiled a bit and picked up her spear. “Though, its still up to you.”

Cinder scoffed as she watched Pyrrha disappear in a flash of light. She went back to watching the woman in the flames, frowning as she watched her continue to pace around her home. She didnt need to live amongst the mortals to understand them, she understood them well enough ever since the God of Light cursed her into godhood, becoming a weapon for mortals to use to rage their own wars. And yet, the woman who came to her shrine every day seemed to never ask for power against others.

With a heavy sigh, Cinder walked into the flames and closed her eyes for a brief moment as she envisioned the house the woman had lived in, her body heating up in flames as she felt herself move between the realms. She opened her eyes to see herself in the same room as the woman in her fireplace, small flames licking at her feet. “I think its time-”

“Give me a bit more time and I’ll figure this out!” Ruby said as she dropped to her knees in front of Cinder. “I’ll make sure to follow your instructions-”

“-to talk about my instructions.” Cinder pinched the bridge of her nose as she stepped out of the flames, the floor smoldering a bit with each step. “After all these years, mortals still havent changed. Never letting a goddess finish her thoughts. I do not need you to sacrifice someone for me. Your willingness to has already proven that you’re ready to follow me.”

Ruby nodded and slowly got up. “O-oh, alright. I-I thought that I’d have to do more.”

“I never said your trial was over. What is your name?”

“Ruby.”

Cinder smirked and offered a hand out to Ruby. “Ruby, you never did tell me what you wanted my blessing for.”

Ruby took Cinder’s hand, looking away for a moment as she spoke. “I… I would like your blessing to help me fight the grimm. I know its dumb for me to ask you for something as simple as that, but even after years of training to be a huntress, I still havent been able to protect those that need it.”

Cinder squeezed Ruby’s hand as her eyes began to glow as if they were flames themselves, her smirk disappearing into a frown. “So, you’re looking to protect others, are you? And if I give you my blessing, you wont use it for your own gain?”

“My own gain?” Ruby asked as she looked up at Cinder. “N-no, I only want to help others.”

“Then you may have my blessing.”

“Thank-”

Cinder interrupted Ruby with a kiss, lips as hot as a flame and breath tasting like smoke. As she broke the kiss, her hand started to glow as she burned her mark onto the back of Ruby’s hand. “At a cost, you may use my call upon my power to help defend others, but the moment you call upon my power to fight another mortal, I will revoke my blessing. Am I clear?”

Ruby winced and held her hand as Cinder’s mark scarred into her flesh. “W-what cost?”

“I’ve been told that I’ve spent too much time away from you mortals,” Cinder answered as she let go of Ruby’s hand. “So for as long as you are my servant, I’ll be living with you.”

Ruby nearly sputtered as she stared at Cinder. “You… what? B-but you’re a goddess-”

“Are you suggesting a goddess be without her servant?”

“N-no, but… surely you’d prefer somewhere… else?”

Cinder started to walk around Ruby’s home, looking over everything. “You’ll have to teach me more about how mortals live, and we’ll need to make a few improvements, but I think I’ll like it here.” She stopped and smiled almost sinisterly at Ruby. “Besides, you did say you’d do anything for me, didnt you? Now you’ll have that chance.”

I have so many thoughts about Sweet but Psycho au, which btw I absolutely love that name 🩵 this ask definitely won’t be as long as my last one, I haven’t nearly thought about this as much as the last one, but I’ve had thoughts about this idea in particular, and after reading the ask about Ganon, it fed even more into my thoughts for this one in particular, but I always wondered, how do you think the chain would react to reader that’s actually a goddess? Particularly a reader that doesn’t know she’s a goddess, but maybe only finds out after she’s activated her powers after saving one or multiple of her boys— unlike a certain someone who shall not be named

But also I think it would be interesting if reader’s powers could be used in a way that she could integrate them whenever she praised them for a job well done ✨ maybe it leaves them feeling a nice warmth inside, maybe it can help them relax and takes all their stress away, there’s lots of ways to play with this, and I haven’t properly thought out this idea, so honestly you’re completely free to have fun with it ^u^

Can you tell I have a healthy dislike over Zelda and Hylia? Cause I do ✨ if they won’t appreciate and love the chain, I will project onto y/n cause the boys deserve so much better

— 🫐 anon

🫐anon! Welcome back! We've got a second so the Sadistic! Reader Au is now officially dubbed the 'Sweet but Psycho AU'!

OOOOH you've given me some ideasss.

Like imagine Reader as the Goddess of the Heroes, meant to be an oracle of sorts to the Holder of the Triforce of Courage (Because they obviously cannot trust Hylia to protect them-). So she has this...supernatural link to each of her boys. Only recently, maybe on Sage's journey, is she given a mortal form? Kind of like Hylia but...Better.

And they are just smitten. To know this absolutely divine being has seen them, their deeds, their soul and has deemed them worthy. And when they found out she's an actual celestial being? Perhaps their cornered by a mob of monsters that just keeps going, reader being kept protectively behind them? And then one is struck, and Reader is trying to get to them, but oh no, they start falling like dominos because when one weak point is exposed, it'll get exploited. And, oh does it get exploited. At that point, Reader is just so overwhelmed and her boys are all hurt and the monsters are going to kill them and- She probably calls upon some divine power that wipes them out easily. It leaves her drained, but awake enough to care for the boys. The ones still conscious and stable are left in awe, quickly explaining everything to the others once they're awoken.

Just knowing that their Goddess saved them, even when she didn't have to (She could've run with the monsters preoccupied with them), drives them so much further into their devotion. They could name another Goddess born in their lives, but she would never dream of doing the same for a number of reasons (They had a kingdom to run, who else would carry the Goddess' blood, their a knight and should be able to handle this-). But you did it without hesitation.

FJFJFJ IMAGINE that by saving them, this creates a soul bond between her and each Link. One that the praise makes sing in glory. It makes their nerves settle and wounds just ache less, helps them sleep better, clears their skin, opens their pores- those lost two were jokes, but you get the jist.

I also have a healthy dislike of Hylia and certain Zeldas (Flora, Fauna, Natura. Looking at you three >:(). I kinda wanna bash on them more but I feel like thats mean :(

guys I might be going insane but I have a headcanon/crackpot theory, hear me out. Dark Souls series spoilers ahead.

So; Seath, Priscilla, Gwyndolin, Yorshka, and Velka.

I believe these characters are all connected, and here's how:

Let's start with Velka. To my knowledge, we know very little about the mysterious goddess of sin. What little information we have comes mostly from Oswald of Carim, Purple Miracles, and the Painted World of Ariamis. For the sake of this theory, the only thing that's really important is Velka's domain: sin. Let's put her off to the side for now though.

Do you know who else has a connection to sin? Gwyndolin. Already an interesting connection, but something even more interesting is that the Crow Demons that you encounter in the painted world have a chance to drop Souvenirs of Reprisal, aka the covenant time tied to the Darkmoon Blades: Gwyndolin's covenant. Speaking of the Darkmoon Blades, the entire point of the covenant is dealing with sinners.

Now, setting Gwyndolin aside for now as well, let's talk about Priscilla. Priscilla is a crossbreed and "bastard." Additionally, the Peculiar Doll states that she's an "abomination." So this tells us a few things. Firstly, she's very likely half dragon, equally likely to be Seath's child. Second, she was born out of wedlock. And finally, she was viewed unfavorably by broader society, thus her place in the painted world. Also of note is the description of the Lifehunt Scythe. The Lifehunt Scythe causes bleed, and uniquely it causes build up in its user as well because "in the hands of a mortal, its power will turn upon its wielder." This tells us that Priscilla was likely not entirely mortal, thus she's half dragon, half god. This is all some pretty well accepted stuff, and we're gonna set it aside for a sec.

Now, Yorshka. Yorshka is interesting, for a few reasons. Mainly because she claims to be Gwyndolin's sister, when its stated in Dark Souls 1 that Gwyndolin is Gwyn's youngest child. Additionally, to my knowledge, Yorshka never claims to Gwyn's child. So, working with this, i believe that she is Gwyndolin's sister— but not Gwyn's daughter. Visually she's eerily similar to Priscilla, so it can be speculated that they're related, somehow.

Now, with all the main pieces all laid out, we get really into the speculation/headcanony bits. Just bear with me here for a sec.

I believe that Velka was Gwyn's wife, as well as the mother of Gwyndolin, Priscilla, and Yorshka. This explains Gwyndolin's covenant items being found in the painted world, as well as Gwyndolin's general connection to sin. Velka being Priscilla's mother also explains her chilling with all the Crow Demons.

Now, the final bullet point: Seath.

The crux of the theory is that Velka, wife of Gwyn, has some sort of affair with Seath, leading to the births of at least Priscilla and Yorshka, and maybe Gwyndolin as well, though I feel like that is a bit less likely.

anyway, thats all, I'm tired, and it is six am.

#dark souls #dark souls 3 #crossbreed priscilla #company captain yorshka #dark sun gwyndolin #seath the scaleless #gwyn lord of cinder #velka goddess of sin #dark souls theory #dark souls speculation #dark souls spoilers

In azre besides gretchen does salem currently have any back ups for the maidens in case something happens to cinder?

Salem has plenty of people who can inherit the powers in Emerald, Gretchen and Cinder, and those that're working under her council like Carmine, Teunessian, and plenty of cult worshipers in Tyrian's group that would take the Mantle should Cinder fail her.

Which is one threat she holds over Cinder that she fears the most. She can be easily replaced if she doesn't do what Salem says.

Please please please I am in desperate need of Astarion comforting Tav.

Like Tav is always comforting everyone else, but there is never anybody to hold their hand when they are scared or hug them when they are sad. Please let them be scared. Let them be sad, let them be vulnerable and let them feel their own emotions.

Tav needs a hug :,)

a/n. no you're so right because I AM ALWAYS OPEN TO TAV LOVE!!!!! This ended up a lot more fluffy and lighthearted than I expected but I hope that’s okay! :) also this is not proofread pls excuse me for the grammar errors that are definitely in here.

You don’t mind helping others, really. You don’t mind guiding Shadowheart to escaping her evil goddess, you don’t mind finding a way to aid Gale’s ticking time bomb, and you don’t mind spending hours in battle to find a piece of infernal iron for Karlach. It’s natural after all, because they’re your precious companions.

But it’s also made the thought of being something else—the one being comforted—more shameful than anything.

It was just a bad day, honestly. Bits of your life being pricked at with needles. The whole week had been hellish, but today seemed to be bent on finally wiping you clean. A battle going wrong, the lake freezing over and preventing you from taking a bath, the pot of soup you were in charge of burning to cinders—they’re all small, but they add up. And when you find that your favorite pair of gloves are splitting at the seams, it’s your final straw.

You stumble into your tent, barely holding back tears as you close the flap shut behind you, signaling that you wanted to be alone. You collapse into your bedroll, face first as even the blanket beneath you isn’t enough to cushion you against the hard floor.

Gods.

You squeeze your eyes shut, begging your tears to leave. The others have a lot more problems at the moment—ones that wager between life and death—but you can’t help the overwhelming burst of emotions you’ve kept bottled in for weeks now. So many bad things are happening, but there’s no time for you to mourn, because the least you can do is stand beside your companions in their own grief. It forces you to constantly stay alert, keeping your heart open for them but shut closed for yourself.

It’s so, so overwhelming. It almost feels like it’ll swallow you whole.

“Are you alright, darling?”

You hadn’t even heard him entering the tent, and immediately your shoulders tense as you shoot up into a sitting position, wiping desperately at your eyes. You know they’re red, but you hope he ignores it. “No, I’m just tired. I’m turning in early for tonight, sorry.”

He stares at you, making his suspicion blatantly obvious to urge you to continue but you don’t, forcing your eyes to the ground. “No need to be sorry, my love. I was just making sure.”

You want to throw yourself into him. To let him hold you as you complain about the more mundane parts of life as well as the feelings wracking the sobs of your chest. To let him soothe you as all you can do is cry.

But you don’t. It’s just not what you do.

“Pity, these pretty things of yours,” he lifts your gloves that had been discarded on the ground with a cock of a brow. “I quite liked them. But…they don’t seem to be at a complete loss yet.”

You finally look at him.

“Why it just needs a bit of stitching and some polish. It’ll look even better than it did before with my handiwork,” he inspects the fabric closely. “Hm, I was finished with fixing Karlach’s shirt anyway, I suppose I could spare some time for your gloves.”

Despite his words, his eyes are gentle as they shift over to you, and it makes your lip quiver.

“I’ll ask again,” he says softly, and you know it’s an effort in vain to resist. “Are you alright?”

Like a river breaking through a dam, you fling yourself into him, tears already slipping down your cheeks as they smear against his shirt. You worry about the snot for a split second, yanking away, but he just pushes your head back to him, sighing with you practically wrapped on top of him.

“You should have told me before things had gotten this bad, my love,” he says, no true judgment laced in his words. If anything, he sounds amused. It makes you cry even harder as you wail loudly into his chest, with his hand rubbing soothing circles into your back.

It’s like a breath of fresh air.

“Would you like to talk about it?” He asks eventually after what seems like eternity, and your sobs have calmed to sniffles.

“…not now.”

“Very well,” he laces his fingers with yours, and you tilt your head up just enough to see the fond smile stretching on his lips. “I shall remain here until you’re ready. Until then, I have no quarrels with our current arrangement.”

You mumble against him as he lifts your knuckles to his lips. “…thank you for this.”

“You needed this,” he replies, as if it’s obvious. “I’m not you, of course, which is why comfort is not my strong suit, as charming as I am. I much prefer blowing off steam in a bloody battle, but this—“ he runs a hand through your hair, gentle enough not to pull at any strands. You resist the need to sigh into the feeling. “—this, I can do as many times as you need.”

"Evil" Pyrrha

Pyrrha: *walking through the halls* I am Salem's champion. I am the strongest of her inner circle. I am her most devout follower. My Goddess has tasked me with destroying this school. I will not fail. Nothing will stand in my way.

Jaune: *smiles and waves at her*

Pyrrha:

Pyrrha: *blushing* Fuck.

***

Cinder: Nikos, you were supposed to scout out the CCT tower. Why haven't you given me the intel?

Pyrrha: I uh... I got sidetracked.

Last night...

Pyrrha: *gorging herself on a pie Jaune made* Oh my god, it's so GOOD!

***

Jaune: What time is it?

Pyrrha: 4:30.

Jaune: Aw hell, I got to get to leadership class. *hugs pyrrha and kisses her forehead* I'll see you later Pyr! *runs off*

Pyrrha: *red*

Pyrrha: *knees nearly give out* Oh my goddess, what was that? I-I need to get back to the dorm.

***

Pyrrha: *reading a book on her bed* The Vytal Festival is almost here. It's a real shame, I was really having a fun time here.

Jaune: Hey Pyr, I was thinking...

Pyrrha: You where thinking?

Jaune: After the tournament is over, maybe we could go on a date. Just me and you?

Pyrrha: ...

***

Ozpin: And why, pray tell, are you telling us this sensitive information about Salem's plans?

Pyrrha: I had a change of heart.

Glynda: It's because of Mr. Arc.

Pyrrha: It's because of Jaune.

Jaune More MC Ruby?

Ruby: That’s why I’m the MC and you're the side character.

Jaune: So because you have silver eyes you’re special?

Ruby: Yep.

Jaune: Even though I cheated Beacon.

Ruby: Yep.

Jaune: I was bullied.

Ruby: Yep.

Jaune: My partner is dead. And because I let my guard down, Ozpin died, and Oscar had no choice but to come on this journey. You know, because of me.

Ruby: Yep.

Jaune: And because Cinder, who works under Salem killed my partner, I have beef with the main villain and her whole crew.

Ruby: Yeah.

Jaune: Salem, who I have way more in common with than most people, the deemed goddess I’m defying her, just like she did with the brothers over a loved one's death. Are you following me so far?

Ruby: … Yeah…

Jaune: Hazel, who mind you, lost his sister. He lost his sister because of the world Ozpin had created, like I did, with Pyrrha.

Qrow: She had a choice.

Jaune: A few days' choice which turned into minutes when Beacon was attacked. Then discovering how bad the situation is, you know with Salem being immortal, I almost hurt if not killed Oscar, making me at the spur of the moment, just as bad as Hazel. And mind you I was willing to fight you on that.

Ruby: Uh… yeah…

Jaune: Tyrian, has the opposite to my semblance. Wasn’t he more interested in me than you? And you were his target.

Ruby: Mmhmm.

Jaune: Let’s talk about Cinder again. Cinder had two stray kids who followed her. I have Ren and Nora. Neither have parents. Also, we both want power but for different reasons. We even have different views on destiny.

Ruby: Oh damn.

Jaune: Atlas. Oscar did Ironwood not act like how I did in Argus but worse?

Oscar: Yeah he did. Jaune even saw Salem in person before you did.

Yang: So did we. You saw her face to face.

Oscar: I’m Ozpin. What is that supposed to mean?

Ruby: Oscar, not helping.

Jaune: Neo. We both lost our partners. The difference is that I have friends while she has none. The cat, him, and I almost have the same ability except he manipulates your soul or takes it. He might as well have been a devil version of me.

Weiss: O. Dear lord.

Jaune: Watts. … … … You know what no. He-he was no. Like he could have done better, he’s an example of being smart yet making the dumbest choices.

Weiss: True.

In the Twilight

Watts: What?! My decision was understandable.

Ironwood: No. No, they were not.

Penny: Like you could have logically put your two weeks in and left for another kingdom. Or country. Like Vale. Mistral. Anywhere. You could have helped where you could've been needed. Which would have made you better than my father.

Watts: I wasted my life.

Back to Remnant

Ruby: Um….

Jaune: You know what I have to ask this question. What is the moral of the story and how does your character fit into this?

Ruby: Well my-

Jaune: Let me retort. I lied. I was bullied. I had no idea about anything in the hunting world. I needed a teacher. I lost someone important to me. I have beef with the main villains. I train to get stronger to be of use to others.

Ruby: So?

Jaune: Okay. No one believed in me. But I still went to chase my goal. I lost the best thing in my life. I still moved forward. I had to kill someone. Still moved forward. I’m an old man trapped in a boy's body. Still moving forward. Fighting the odds that are stacked against me. I have seven who no one knows about. Yet your family is more interesting.

Ruby: Your point?

Jaune: The moral of the story is that no matter your circumstance you can always be better. Never allow destiny or grief to influence your entire life. No matter what odds that stand before you, you can ultimately change your fate. And no matter the darkness a simple soul can light up the night and unite everyone against a greater evil. Even when the whole world is against you, you are never alone to endure it. If we stand united and look past our differences only then the wor;d would be a better place.

Ruby: Well my mom died at Salem’s hands.

Jaune: And?

Ruby: It's still relevant.

Jaune: You're right. But how many times has your mother been mentioned and you bothered to get information about her?

Yang: I-

Jaune: Bitch shut the fuck up. You were looking for the deadbeat mom more than the mom who stepped up.

Ruby: Well um… um…. Damn. Oh, but I-

Jaune: You weren’t the sword. I may not have known Penny as long as you, but the fact, that I could've saved her proved her death hit harder than Pyrrha's. I’m close to walking in Raven’s path.

Ruby: Shit.

Jaune: And back to your mother. She was a silver-eyed warrior. But Salem is still here. Do silver eyes work on her?

Ruby: Um.

Jaune: Because Salem is still both the brothers' creation. The old humanity. She can't be phased by the black liquid even though everything they touch decays.

Ruby: She's immortal.

Jaune: Yeah but again when Maria told you her story didn't she try using her silver eyes on humans and it didn't work?

Ruby: Cinder.

Jaune: Grimm arm.

Ruby: The hound.

Blake: Silver-eyed person too but only stunned them.

Ruby: Blake.

Blake: What a minute he had animalistic ears. Should I be concerned for my people?

Jaune: Yeah… we’re not getting into that. The point is if you go see Salem and your silver eyes don't work then your mom died for nothing.

Ruby: Oo. Um…

Jaune: And let's get back to the other villains. Besides Emerald, Mercury, and Tyrian, some of them have valid reasons to join Salem.

Ren: Jaune!

Jaune: Ren, your village got destroyed.

Ren: Nevermind.

Me: Hold up. Let me start. With Cinder, a huntsman saw what she was going through and didn't bother to help her. She was alone. The world abandoned her.

Jaune: So Hazel was right. In fact, Raven had a point.

Oscar(Ozpin): Mr. Arc I-

Jaune: Motherfucker Hazel had every right to be angry. Dude shadow missions involve us going with experienced hunters. Yet his sister died and Ruby could’ve died. Shadowing them. Following their lead. Does that not show how bad the hunting system is? Not just that we got hunters who died in the line of duty. Not to mention how some were sexually harassing the girls. And some of them are just plain crazy or assholes. Not to mention Blake, Qrow, and Raven. You let them in. And to make matters worse you chose Pyrrha, a first-year student, to be your maiden.

Oscar(Ozpin): She was my best option.

Jaune: So Glynda wasn't on the table? A high-ranked fourth-year student wasn't on the table? Man, at least you could have chosen Ruby considering she has silver eyes and is a young upcoming prodigy. That would have made her more important. Like Ozpin Ruby off the bat was better than Pyrrha.

Qrow: Hey, I would have stopped that.

Jaune: O, so… it was okay with Pyrrha… but not your niece. I see. Hypocrite.

Qrow: Damn. Set myself up for that.

Jaune: Watts, despite his stupidity, had a point. James would abuse any source of technology just to have some level of control over something. Why did you think he wanted your sister instead of Penny? Why do you think he wanted Amity up as quickly as possible? Why do you think he hacked into Penny? Everything was always about control.

Weiss: Well our lives weren't easy.

Jaune: That I won't deny. Yet we are all still bad people.

Yang: Jaune my mother -

Jaune: Raven and Summer left you. Summer no one cared enough to talk about. Raven doesn't matter at all. Willow waited until her children were teenagers or young adults to start dealing with an abusive father. And Kali… yeah she should have slapped some sense into her daughter.

Weiss: Well your mom doesn't love you.

Jaune: Don't care. Back to Jacque though how does he and James know each other? Why do they have beef with one another? Unless… o. Oh no. Don't tell me. Did James set Jacque up with Willow? And in return, he helps James rise to power. Or did James love Willow but because of his career he couldn't marry her? Could Winter be-

Weiss: Please stop. I do not need those theories in my head.

Jaune: Fine. The point I'm trying to make is… … well how about you explain.

Me: It's crazy how Jaune fits the main character role better than Ruby.

whys and hows aside, ultimately what “summer joined salem” comes down to is:

salem has one more person working for her whose existence has been confirmed (seer call in v4 from beacon after establishing that all known agents are not there) but identity never revealed.

none of her other agents have had their identities obscured: even lionheart is revealed to be her spy upfront. the mystery surrounding the identity of this character is unique—ergo, narratively consequential.

“what happened to summer rose?” is a central narrative mystery which has thus far been partially answered in this order: a) she met salem, b) salem perhaps did something other than killing her, c) raven was involved and whatever happened turned her past admiration for summer into the scorn on display at haven.

the timeline on summer being made into a hound does not add up (the hound is “an experiment” and a novelty to both salem’s enemies and her inner circle now—salem met summer approx. fourteen years ago) but it’s deeply unlikely that the narrative would have flagged the possibility of fate-other-than-death if she were actually dead.

the conclusion that salem turned summer into a hound is offered by ruby, on minimal evidence; in v4, ruby hears tyrian waxing poetic about his “goddess” and with no hesitation goes “cinder,” which is to say ruby has a demonstrable tendency of jumping to conclusions based on incomplete information that are close but nevertheless very wrong.

so the narrative has given us these pieces:

summer met salem.

salem probably did not kill her.

summer can’t have been grimmed.

summer broke raven’s trust, badly.

salem has had an anonymous agent holding beacon, we have known this since v4, and we have yet to find out who this person is.

what happened to summer rose?

the anonymity of the person on the other end of that seer call is the keystone holding everything together. the facts pertaining to summer rose alone don’t necessarily add up to “turncoat,” only “not dead and not a hound,” but when taken into account with the open question of who salem has at beacon, then the simplest, most straightforward answer is that summer joined her.

the point of keeping the beacon lieutenant’s identity a secret is to maintain suspense. it is a character the audience already knows—or knows of. (the reason salem’s reveal at the end of v3 works is because she’s been the narrator since the beginning, for example.) with the way the cast is set up, this more or less requires that the beacon lieutenant be a turncoat; the other possibilities are tai, glynda, oobleck, and port. if it’s any of them, the separate mystery of what happened to summer rose remains and must still be answered in order to resolve that increasingly central narrative question, and the how and why tai or glynda or oobleck or port joined salem needs to be answered too. if summer is the beacon lieutenant, the narrative answers two questions with one answer.

#yes the million dollar question is ''why''#but there’s really only one possibility that makes sense for *what* happened #given the available facts #and why isn’t even that hard to guess if you can wrap your head around unreliable narrator meaning UNRELIABLE NARRATOR!

RWBY Fanfic Recommendation List

Fics that have really struck me, vaguely organized by ship and/or topic.

Bumbleby (Blake x Yang)

first off, basically anything by pugoata. She's the goddess-empress of the Bees. I'm gonna give particular props to Banshee, as it was the first longer fic and AU that I read, and it really opened up my mind to what fanfic could be.

You're a Mountain, Full of Glory - a ski/snowboard with amazing characterization and a closing scene that will live rent-free in my head forever, in a good way.

They Can't Steal the Love You're Born to Find - childhood soulmates repeatedly torn apart and reconnecting, with courtroom drama. One of the most angst-ridden Bee fics I've ever read.

Fucking In Love - pornstar AU that gets right to the sex and slow burns the romance. Hot as hell while also full of tenderness and pining.

Midnight Menagerie - exotic dancer, kinda-cyberpunk dystopia AU. Edges you forever with the sex, earns all the angst tags, and we are majorly trusting @kaelidascope when she promises an amazing happy ending.

Bite Me Like You Love Me - one of the hottest Bee smutfics I've ever read.

You and Me - Blake discovers she's pregnant the day Yang goes MIA on a mission and struggles through being a single mother teaching their child about her amazing other mom. Short, happy ending, amazingly sweet.

WhiteRose (Ruby x Weiss)

The Foxtrot - Ruby and Weiss repair their broken lives after the war. It's one of the most popular RWBY fics of all time for a reason.

Can You See My Strings?/Deja Vu - premium mentally ill Weiss escapes from child abuse angst, with a happy ending if you read the sequel.

But Your Voice Used to Be Mine - Weiss escapes abuse to join RBY's punk band whose smash hit she inspired.

Just One Cigarette - Ruby and Weiss have a little meetup roleplay and it's really good.

Faunus Weiss (generally major themes of struggling with internal and external racism)

Craving the Sky - Weiss has painfully concealed her faunus heritage while she tries to earn her father's love. The support of her team, and the love of Blake and Yang (BeesSchnees) help her soar on her own.

Black Swan Theory - faunus Weiss struggles to recover from child abuse and navigate a deeply racist society while building a relationship with Pyrrha (Schneekos).

Clipped Wings - secret faunus Weiss, dealing with racism and abuse from Jacques, this time slow burning towards Pollination.

Villainesses

Melting Glace - Cinder and Neo find love, and no redemption, in the trauma of failing to destroy Beacon. Will make you cheer for them to win by the end.

Rise from the Ashes - Cinder has a Vader moment and saves Ruby from Salem, and Ruby's pure heart helps her heal, and their adversarial relationship turn to affection. Peak RWBY enemies-to-lovers.

Odds & Ends

The Bermuda Triangle - great modern AU BeesSchnees that gets filthy hot at the end.

Midnight Rose - Summer rescues and adopts Cinder out of Atlas. Their relationship, and Cinder coming to love the Xiao Long-Rose family, is beautifully depicted. Still very much ongoing (no ships as of yet).

Fallen Maiden - Jaune dies protecting Pyrrha at Beacon, and the Fall Maiden power remains split. Will Pyrrha's bloody crusade of vengeance consume her? Or, 'Pyrrha goes full Magneto and fucks Cinder up'.

What's In A Name? - Winter and May grow up together, struggling to cope with their feelings for each other against the background of the Atlas aristocracy.

Linked In Life and Love - I'd be remiss if I didn't mention this one. I really, really love the first act, where Team RWBY sees Blake suffering terribly through a surprise heat cycle and decides that they will all "help" her with it. It's sweet and tender and feels legit for them. I'm not a huge fan of where all the series has gone since, but I would invite anyone to judge that for themselves.

(As I see this getting a decent amount of traffic, I'll just point out that, if it's convinced you [correctly] of my impeccable taste in fanfic, you might want to check out my own RWBY writings)

#rwby #rwby fanfic #rwby shipping #ao3 #rwby recommendations #ruby rose #weiss schnee #blake belladonna #yang xiao long #bumbleby #whiterose #save rwby #save crwby #greenlight volume 10

Day 10: Fucking Machine- Sage

Man, ya'll went feral feral for yesterdays prompt. Anyway by the time you guys see this I'll probably be in the courtroom (Meaning this was...*gag* queued.)

Smut so Minors Do Not Interact. If I find out a minor has interacted with my blog, I will block you.. Thank you!

Smut CW: Sage is still an asshole, inappropriate use of Zonai tech.

This is Day ten of My Kinktober so be sure to come back and check out the other days! Friendly Reminder that all of my smut is tagged 'Cindersins' including this, but this will also be tagged as 'Cinder's happy halloween' along with the run of the mill smut tags.

Kinktober Masterlist <<< Day 9>>>Day 11

What a sight you were.

Sage would admit that he was not as…merciful as he felt most would’ve preferred. He liked watching your eyes shine with unshed tears, your lower lashes clumping together as low whimpers choked through your throat. He got a bit of a kick out of hearing you cry and whimper, thighs shaking uncontrollably as overstimulation rocked your entire system. Just watching you attempt to plead with him, blabbering nonsense and gibberish as you brainlessly obeyed his every command.

It gave him such a kick. Such a rush of power that thrummed in his veins. Made his skin buzz in a maddening warmth that gave him a complex most likely too big for his ego, let alone his crumbling sanity.

But there was something so devious about this recently hatched plan that he almost felt bad.

Almost.

Zonai tech was something he himself didn’t even fully understand, yet he knew enough he could bullshit his way through it. And he had become fairly good at bullshitting. It had taken a few tries and a few missteps, but he had gotten his design patented at long last and what a payout it was.

It was so erotic watching the machine move, the circular gears interlocking within one and another as the pole attached pulled back then pushed forward, drawing out another noise from you. It made it all so worth it.

Had he gotten looks from a few Zora after he commissioned the newest glass piece in his collection? Yes. But it was so worth it. Watching the milky sheen of your own fluids coat the frosty glass as the gears continued rolling. In and out, over and over. He could speed it up or slow it down if he so wished, moving it closer for a more intense hit against your sweet spot. All with the control panel on his Purah pad which he could man from the comfort of his favorite armchair.

Slowly Sage palmed his own cock, thumbing it up and down in time with the slow rolls of the gears, hearing you cry out with every thrust forward. If he had any respect for the rotten goddess’ that claimed to watch over the land of Hyrule, he’d consider thanking them.

As it stood currently, he’d remain his own god and thank himself, squeezing his shaft as he turned up the speed, hearing you sob out his name as another orgasm shook your core.

Knightfall For Life 1

Jaune: *leaning against the cafeteria wall, the blonde was currently waiting for the rest of his friends to appear before locking eyes with Cinder who was currently coming his way*

Jaune: Cinder?

Cinder: *giving the blonde a small smile* Good morning, Jaune. And what are you up to this fine morning?

Jaune: *unable to take his eyes off of her* Just waiting for... the rest of... my team...

Cinder: *notices him staring at her* Something wrong?

Jaune: Nothing, it’s just... Did you do something with your hair? It looks different today.

Cinder’s internal monologue: Oh Gods, oh Gods, oh Gods! He noticed! He noticed I had my hair done yesterday! Yes! Looks like yesterday was an afternoon well spent! Alright, calm down, Cinder! You are a Queen! You are a Goddess! You are Cinder Fall! Respond appropriately!

Cinder: *flicking her hair* Why, yes. I did. Something told me that it was time for a change. Why? Do you like it?

Jaune’s internal monologue: Do I like it?! I freaking love it! Gods, she is so beautiful! How does this woman manage to grow even more beautiful with each passing day?! Gods, I love her so much! She is amazing!

Jaune: I do. It looks good on you.

Cinder’s internal monologue: He just said it looks good on me! Oh, Gods! Such simple words yet they bring me such joy! I could literally die of happiness right now! Is it too much to hope for that he notices that new perfume I bought?!

Cinder: *sending a smile his way* Thank you.

Jaune: *sniffing the air* Also, did you buy a new perfume? Because you smell amazing.

Cinder’s internal monologue: He noticed that, too?! And he said I smelled amazing! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!! He said I smelled amazing!!!

Cinder: *smile widening as red started to creep up her cheeks* I did and thank you. I bought it yesterday and thought to try it on, just for the sake of it

Jaune’s internal monologue: Is she trying to kill me?! Gods, she is so... so... perfect! Amazing! Wonderful! Gorgeous! Spectacular! A Goddess in human form! I love her so much!

Jaune: *eyes widening as he feels something starting to harden in his pants*

Jaune’s internal monologue: No! Down, boy! Down! This is not the time to embarrass myself in front of Cinder! Not like this! I said down!

Cinder: Jaune? Is something wrong? *gets closer to the blonde*

Jaune’s internal monologue: Ahhhh!!! She’s so close to me right now! I could just die and have absolutely zero regrets right now!

Jaune: I-I’m fine... Everything’s totally fine. Great, even. *starts to frantically hide his boner from public view* Should we take a seat? A lot of empty tables around here *grabs Cinder’s hand before dragging her along*

Cinder’s internal monologue: Ahhhhhhhh!!!! He’s grabbing my hand! Jaune Arc is grabbing my hand! What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?!

Jaune’s internal monologue: Ahhhhhhhh!!!! I grabbed her hand without thinking! What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?!

Jaune & Cinder, their faces practically crimson: *running through the busy cafeteria, hand in hand while avoiding all the empty seats*

Meanwhile, standing at a distance were Teams RWBY, NPR, Emerald, and Mercury.

Ruby: Those two are totally into each other, right?

WBYNPREM: Yup.
