Lil JNPR Master List
I’m not really sure how to do these but I did get a request for it so here is a master list for Lil JNPR.
Also, a bit of shameless self promotion, feel free to check out my other works including the LIL JNPR stuff on either my ao3 or FF accounts!

I’m excited to hear you’re considering drawing Quiet, cause (as a Jaune Fan) it’s nice to see him get a song about him!!
And the callback to Forever Fall will always pull at my heartstrings, so I’m curious to see what you’d come up for it :3
I love Jaune as a character too (it's probably my fav male character in RWBY), and Quiet is a song I truly resonate with, and I really wanted to draw something for it ♥ I kinda already have the idea in mind.
And YEAH the references to Forever Fall or even Penny with some of the leitmotivs are truly making me emotional ;;; I'm happy to know other people like Jaune because I saw so much people be upset he had importance in V9, but he's such an interesting character like give him a chance--
Have you read Lil JNPR by Six02
Hm, I can't say I have. I'll have to take a look.
---------------------------------------------------
So, just looking at the premise, it reminds me of my own series, Nora the Arc. I think I'll like this one.
Nora’s Thoughts
“Ooh! I think they’re getting closer!”
“Nora, I think that’s quite enough.”
“Oh shush Renny! This is super exciting, you saw the way that Jaune was looking at Pyrrha when they left! THIS HAS TO BE IT!”
“Has to be what, exactly?”
For the first time in the last 20 minutes, Nora finally pried herself away from the door. Her turquoise gaze descending upon the new inclusion to their family unite. “Oooh! I can’t WAIT to tell you!” Dimples formed at the upward curvature of her lips, a grin soon shifting into a full blown smile.
“Well you see!”
Oscar flinched as Nora gleefully appeared before him in an instant. To make matters far worse, she didn’t give him the time to collect himself, her hands held tightly against his shoulders.
“Pyrrha and Jaune have been eyeing each other something fierce over these last few months!”
Despite the younger boy’s mouth opening and closing a few times, something Nora took note of right away, she continued anyway. “So! Ren and I have been secretly hatching a plan, trying to get the two of them together! And now! Now it’s all coming to fruition!”
Knowing when enough was enough, she didn’t want to frighten their new younger sibling for life after all, Nora took the chance to bounce back. Her energy practically sparking, electrifying the little room that could honestly not contain her full shocking force.
In the meantime, with her attention completely drawn to the door, she missed the small conversation between her two brothers.
“What does she mean?” Poor little Oscar was a bit too long to get the ‘hidden’ lingo within Nora’s mixed sloppily spoken words.
To his surprise, Ren smiled, “She’s simply excited, you’ll get used to it.”
“Renny! Renny! I think they’re getting closer! I can practically feel it in my bones!” Her hair nearly stood on end, little bits of electricity coursing through her scattered marks.
“I wouldn’t get too close to her right now though.”
“Okay… but what did she mean by the other two, Pyrrha and Jaune, eyeing one another?”
“Ah right.” Ren gave a sagely nod, “You’re a bit younger than us so I suppose you wouldn’t really know. For a while now both Jaune and Pyrrha have gotten.” Ren tried to choose his words carefully, “Close.” That would suffice.
“But I stil-”
“Both of you Shush! I think tha-”
Before Nora could continue the knob turned, her eyes popped open and in a streak of pink bolts of lightning she was already on her bed. “Okay, no one say a word.” Despite her statement, she could hardly hold back, her legs practically jolting up and down full of life and excitement.
But to her surprise, she couldn’t find the right words nor the noise to express the pure amount of joy she felt as the door suddenly tilted open. She could practically feel her eyes rolling out of her head. Her pulse grew quick as her heart nearly tore from within her chest. In front of her was the thing she’d wanted and waited for for so long!
“Hey guys.”
Jaune spoke first, an adorable tinted red blush streaked across his soft cheeks. That though wasn’t what caught everyone’s attention. No, all three sets of eyes focused on his hands. Or rather, on both his and Pyrrha’s hands, which were now tightly knit together, fingers intertwined and palms held closely together.
“So.” Pyrrha continued for him, though if Nora’s grin was anything to indicate, they all had a pretty good idea on what transpired. “We’re together-together now.”
Thankfully Nora didn’t give either of them the time to feel embarrassed, like a train set on full course she slammed forward knocking into the duo and sending them flying out of the open door. Three colors of auras flared as they bumped into the floor, loud “Oofs!” Came from all around, but it wasn’t enough to stop the bombastic orange haired member of their little familial group to tightly squeeze them.
“No-Nora! Can’t breathe!”
She ignored Jaune’s cries of pained surrender, “I’m so happy! I’m so happy!” Tears of joy blinded her vision, stinging her eyes as she shut them tight. “Together! You two are together!”
“Nora?”
The girl continued to ignore them, even as Pyrrha’s confused words reached her ears. “We can all be together forever now!”
Ren took a step up, approaching the confused duo, though he himself only sort of understood what she meant. Of course, neither Pyrrha nor Jaune could really get why Nora was acting this way, so it was up to him to answer for his bubbly sister.
“Ren?”
Thankfully, both of them had been emotionally open enough to catch the hidden meaning, or at least a hint of it.
“Sh- no we are grateful, for so many things.” The young man, in a rare instance of openness, began to pour out his heart, “You two being together.” He paused again trying to find just the right words to use. “It means a lot to us, to see two of the people we care so much about, being happy?” That was part of the reason, Nora nodded along with her brother's words.
Through tear stained clothes, both Pyrrha and Jaune held onto Nora, their arms holding the smaller girl closer and tighter to them. It didn’t take long for Ren to join in, the young man feeling positively entranced by the interaction.
“And! And!” Nora tried to force words through soft hiccups, “Pyrrha, you- you won’t leave us now!”
“What? Nora!” The redhead gasped, surprised by the statement, “I would never leave you all.”
“But, one day you might! But you won’t if your family.”
Nora wasn’t great with words, she oftentimes expressed herself with actions and energetic displays of affection. So she found it hard to get out the words she wanted, to express all of the fears that she had of this little group, this family within a family that she’d formed, would one day just break apart. “Please, please.” A soft hiccup formed and escaped her throat. “I don’t want to say goodbye.”
She could feel the gears turning and finally grinding to a sudden halt as Jaune and Pyrrha now understood what really bothered her. “Oh Nora.” Their hug grew tighter till the four of them were a simple mishmash of different colored bodies.
There was a pause, a pained silence hung over them, that was till everyone shuffled and Pyrrha placed her head atop her best friend's head.
“I promise, we’ll always be together.” Though Pyrrha was the one that said it, she couldn’t stop herself from continuing, “After all, an Arc never goes back on their word.”
Nora knew that Pyrrha wasn’t an Arc by blood, but she was practically family, so it meant just as much.
So she repeated, “An Arc never goes back on their word.”
As for poor Oscar, he could only watch this strange familial thing happening in front of him. Though he felt out of it, there was something heartwarming about watching people who care about one another so much. He was lost, confused, and unsure of what to do. That was till he made eye contact with the blonde boy, Jaune.
To his surprise the older boy gave him a warm smile and beckoned him over. Slowly, and with unsure steps, he made his way over, joining the pile. Maybe, joining this family was a good thing.

Jaune is just a magnet for polyships because he has so much love to give and also deserves all the love in the world so it works out perfectly
He’s such a gentle sweetbean!
So someone just said White Knight is a misogynistic ship as a fact when it was their opinion, and when I disagreed and said it was their opinion, they showed how absolutely toxic they are by attacking me and calling me misogynistic for disagreeing with them.
So that's really fucking fun! Anything to shit on Jaune, right?
Alright time to ship White Knight harder than I already was. I love the ship as it is, they’ve both grown so much. But if it upsets people like this? Even better.
I’m vindictive damn it.
Lil JNR
Jaune wasn’t sure what to make of the scene in front of him. His parent’s had left Saphron in charge while they were gone on a mission. Them randomly leaving was something he was used to, but what he didn’t expect was for them to return with two children, both girls(?). Inside he was crying, he already had 7 sisters, he didn’t need two more. Though, that thought stopped when he realized they were shaking. He took a deep breath and shivered, they had to be no older than 8, the same as him. But they looked so, defeated. It hurt watching them, so much so that in his own confusion he ran up to both of them and wrapped his lanky arms around them.
Admittedly they were both taller than him, he was small for his age, but he was sure that he’d grow in time. Both of them shivered in response to his touch, unsure of why this unknown child suddenly approached them only to wrap them both in his small arms. He didn’t know himself either if he was being honest.
Turning to his parents he stared quietly waiting for an answer, his mother finally gave way.
“Jaune, these are Nora and Lie.” She paused, as she noticed the way that Lie responded to his name, “Ren… his name is Ren.” She corrected herself, noticing that the boy calmed after.
This piqued Jaune’s interest, it was a boy! Turning to his dad who looked like he wanted to say something. “Due to… unfortunate circumstances, they’ll be living with us going forward. They’ll be your new sister and brother, Jaune.”
Jaune blinked, so he was sorta right, they were going to be siblings, while he wanted to jump for joy about getting a brother. He decided that it could wait, for some reason he just wanted to hug them. All he knew was that he wanted to hold them.
________________________________________________________________
Right so here it is, one of the things I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I’m not sure if this will be the format I go with al the time. The idea is that Ren and Nora get adopted by the Arcs and before anyone wonders, this is totally going to be Renora and Arkos story, cause damn if I’m not consistent on my likes.
The idea is that becaues of the incident, the trio will be trained, I’m not sure if I want them to be in Vale or if I may move them to Argus so they can meet Pyr early. Because of what happened to the village, Jaune’s parents decided it was important to train their children.
Anyways reviews, hate, love, or whatever you want to throw at me is appreciated, never done this tumblr thing before!
Why do you reblog your own fics so much?
Because someone might as well!? And look at this. Look. At. This.
Does this look right to you??
These are just the last three fics I wrote. I appreciate the likes, believe me I do, but you have to understand. Likes do nothing for content creators. It’s the reblogs. Because that’s how you find shit on your dashboard. Through reblogs. Not likes. This isn’t twitter or tiktok or instagram. This is a website that’s run by the reblog system.
Reblogging helps content creators put their stuff out there. Why do you think so many people stopped writing fanfic and creating beautiful fanart and edits? It’s because they put in hours of work and don’t get nearly enough notes for their masterpieces. Yes we do this because we enjoy it but like…some validation won’t hurt. A boost of confidence here and there might be all someone needs to finish whatever thing they started and left.
Anyway, I’m still going to reblog my shit…
I think I’m gonna restart blogging my own shit.
WRITERS. ARTISTS. EDITORS.
REBLOG YOUR OWN WORK.
THERE IS NO SHAME IN IT.
The whiteknight wall
Love it.
If there’s anything I hate about the Volume 8 finale, it’s that it’s sparked yet another wave of Jaune hate.
Jaune Arc is a good boy, and he deserves better from this awful fandom.
Agreed.
Feelings
Jaune Arc was currently incredibly absolutely totally embarrassed. He could only watch in shock and horror as his mother was currently gushing over his perfect, wonderful, amazing, splendid, stunning, fantastic friend. Quite possibly his best friend if he was being honest. Of course Lie and Nora were his best friends too! But they were family. Pyrrha though? She was something else. She brought forth a side of him he could never really understand. Sure he sometimes felt inferior but honestly that wasn’t really a her thing, and he swore he was getting better at it. Even if he did feel like he was lagging behind all of his family.
Right he was getting off topic, anyways, as he said horror absolute and utter horror. His mother was currently grilling Pyrrha for all the details of their current lives. “Oh my goodness! You’re absolutely gorgeous!” He watched as Pyrrha’s alabaster skin tinged pink as his mother picked her up pulling the younger girl into a grizzly like hug. Jaune felt so many emotions in his chest, one of them had been a surprisingly large amount of sudden relief. Good his mother liked her, that… that was important he felt. But then there were so many more emotions! He hadn’t expected any of this, and even with Pyrrha’s arrival he couldn’t help but eye Oscar. The poor boy, his heart hurt just thinking of what he must have gone through.
Just like with Nora and Lie, he felt an overwhelming amount of brotherly feelings. Just thinking that there was another child who lost their family, ‘I need to be stronger’. He couldn’t help but think to himself, think that he had to help anyone he could. Snapping out of his daze he watched as his mother was practically strangling Pyrrha. “Uhm ma.” There was no answer as she continued to hug the young girl, “Ma!” He practically shouted at her, causing her to snap out of her child like glee.
“Oh woopsie! I’m sorry dearie, I just adore children.” Understatement of the century, Jaune thought to himself as he heard the footsteps of his other sisters off in the distance. “Well then, why don’t you all introduce her to me?” Jaune took center, he didn’t want to give Nora the chance to embarrass him. He could see the mischievous glee, though he knew that she only had his best interest in heart. But… but he didn’t want her to do anything till he was sure that he himself felt that way about Pyrrha.
“Uhm, she’s Pyrrha, Pyrrha Nikos. She goes to school with us.” He took a step next to her, one that he knew his mother noticed. “She’s also our best friend.”
“She’s Jaune’s bestest friend though.” Nora said in a matter of factly kind of way. He knew she didn’t mean any harm, but he saw the way his mother’s eyes shined. “Oh oh!” Nora suddenly pounced on Pyrrha, “But she’s my battle sister!” Jaune eyed his sister and his… his crush yeah. He could see the curves of her lips tilt upwards. He loved Nora, she really did know how to bring out the brightest of the room.
When Nora let Pyrrha go, his mother made a humming sound. As Lie took his place near them she couldn’t help but smile. “I’m glad you all are doing well.” She took a breath, “I assume that you’re here to spend the night?”
Pyrrha nodded meekly, “Yes ma’am, Jaune invited me over.” It was obvious his friend worried about making a good impression. But when she said his name, Jaune just knew that his mother was going to look at him. And look at him she did.
“Oh, did he really now?” The smile on her face told him everything he needed to know. And, well, he nodded. When her smile shifted to a warmer one he felt his heart calm down. “Well it’s a pleasure to meet you deary.”
“Thank you.” Pyrrha gave his mother a nice bow.
Once everything had finished, Jaune didn’t miss the looks he was getting from his other sisters who were peaking around the corners. It was painfully obvious to everyone else, even if he didn’t quite get it yet. No, he was just fooling himself, Pyrrha was amazing and well… his heart beat rapidly whenever they were close.
“Why don’t you all go up stairs and enjoy yourselves?” Nora who was practically bouncing up and down on her heels turned towards Oscar.
“Would you like to join us Oscar?” Her brilliant smile was nearly blinding, and as her older brother Jaune didn’t feel like he was being biased whatsoever. The young boy seemed hesitant, but Nora just had a way with kids. She approached him slowly and smiled warmly, allowing him to let his guard down. “We’d love to get to know you more.”
Jaune could see how much she saw her and Lie in him. Jaune only nodded approvingly, he would also like to get to know their newest little brother. Though, as they were about to head up, he felt his mother’s hand touch his shoulder. “Uhm, you guys can go ahead, I’ll catch up.” Nora and Lie got the hint, heading up first followed by Oscar who decided to join them after all.
Pyrrha on the other hand watched him worriedly, he simply gave her a warm smile. Once she seemed satisfied she followed after the trio, dragging her bag alongside her. Though he didn’t miss the few times that she glanced back at him.
“Ahem.” His mother cleared her throat, this was the signal for everyone else to vacate the room. Which they did, no one crossed their mother. Jaune turned towards her, their eyes met and he felt a warmth travel across him. “She is a very pretty girl.”
He nearly gasped for air, but he knew that this was where the conversation was going to head to. Still… it didn’t stop him from being anxious, “She… she is.” He felt his heart thump loudly, his ears beating like drums. His pulse grew fast as he continued to keep his eyes deadlocked with his mothers.
“Do you like her?” And there it was, the question he was dreading. He just… he wasn’t sure. He… he wasn’t good at these kinds of things. Especially with someone as amazing as Pyrrha. He didn’t deserve… no that wasn’t the right word. That was… it was stupid thinking right? At least that’s what he tried to tell himself. He felt inferior. Not just to her mind you, but to everyone. Memories of his past… no Pyrrha wasn’t like her. She wasn’t like Flanna, she could never be like her.
“I… I’m not…” He heard the tapping of her foot on the wooden floor. She wasn’t going to take half truths. “I don’t know… I’m just… mom…” His lip quivered and his throat grew dry. He just, he did, he did like Pyrrha. But he wasn’t… he couldn’t, would she even be happy with him? He knew, he really did that it didn’t matter if he was worthy or not. That was stupid thinking! It was stupid thinking, and he was an idiot. “I… would she even…”
He stiffened as she pressed her palm against his shoulder. Her hand tightened around him, “Oh sweetie. You’re amazing, and I’m not saying that just cause you’re my son.” His gaze drifted downwards as he shifted awkwardly. “Honey, I’ve never met anyone who puts half the effort you do into improving yourself. If you make a mistake you try to correct it, I know… that things hadn’t been easy for you. Especially with… that incident. But darling.” She pulled him into a tight hug. “You’ll never know if you don’t try to ask.”
She was right, she really was. “If you don’t ask, you could miss out on something amazing. And if you do, and it doesn’t work out? You could always remain friends. I know it’s scary, gods know that I panicked when asking out your father.”
His head snapped back to her, his eyebrow cocking slightly. “Yes I was the one to ask him, bloody hell, he would never have summed up the courage to ask me.” A mirthful chuckle escaped her lips as she continued to hold him close. “Sweetie, I think you’ll be fine. I’m a good judge of character, and I can see that she’s different.”
Jaune felt his breath hitch in his chest as he wrapped his arms around his mothers back, his fingers dug into her clothing as he held her tightly. He was scared, he really was. But… but Pyrrha wouldn’t mock him, she wouldn’t toy with his feelings. He… he didn’t need to be worthy of anything other than her own affection. And if she didn’t see him that way, then it was simply not meant to be.
He turned his head down one more time and nodded, “Okay.” Looking back at his mom he felt her hold him close once more.
“Good luck son.” Her warm and motherly voice filled him with confidence. He knew it was odd to get dating advice from his mother, but she has had a long marriage as well as a ton of kids. If his parents’ relationship was still going well then she must have known something.
Every step he made up to their shared room was daunting, each step felt closer to his execution. He could practically feel his heart throbbing in his chest. Finally he reached the door, his legs locked in place as he felt his breathing become heavy. He could feel his palms grow sweaty, he couldn’t do this. He just couldn't. There was no way this would wo-
His entire world fell to a halt as the door opened before he could even knock. “Oh hello!” Pyrrha was in front of him with her hair untied, he’d only ever seen it in a ponytail. He felt his heart stop and his breathing stilled. Apparently she noticed the shift in his disposition, “Jaune, are you alright?”
“Oh uhm!” He felt the words caught at the edge of his lips. His tongue twisted as he tried to gather his courage. Then he caught Nora out of the corner of his eye. She was smiling brightly, her thumbs lifted up as if to encourage him. Lie was doing something similar, a soft smile on his face while Oscar sat there confused.
“Pyrrha?”
“Yes Jaune?” The way she tilted her head slightly to the right sent little jolts of joy to his heart. Oh gosh, he really was going to do this! He needed to calm himself down, but even as his heart pounded loudly in the middle of his chest, thumping over and over. He still couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy and excitement.
“Can I uhm. Ouch!” He bit his tongue slightly.
“Are you okay?!” The panic in his voice was oddly endearing. Placing his hand in front of him he nodded.
“Yeah, I’m fine… I’m sorry I just… can we talk alone?” The following silence was agonizing, the way she examined hima s if trying to get a beat on what he was asking.
Finally she nodded.
He heard a loud whoop coming from the room as she closed the door behind him. He needed a good place to ask, taking a slow step he made his way towards the guest room. The soft thumps of Pyrrha’s steps behind him sent powerful jolts through his mind. His panic was reaching an all time high as his blood pulsed and beat rapidly in his veins. He was terrified, but there was now ay that he wasn’t going to do this. He had to resolve himself, he couldn’t chicken out now.
Finally they reached the room, opening it so she could go in first he made sure no one was following him. Thankfully after a few seconds of inspection he didn’t see any of his siblings. Taking one last deep breath before entering after her, he closed the door.
“Pyrrha?”
“Yes Jaune?” Oh gosh, she was just so amazing. Even a simple question caused his heart to thump wildly.
“Pyrrha, we’ve been friends for a few months now, and uhm… you’re… you’re honestly amazing.”
“Oh!” Even he could catch the blush off of her porcelain like skin. His own face grew warm as he tried to calm himself.
“Right, uhm… Pyrrha I…” Oh god he was getting tongue tied, he felt his eyes flutter as his pulse grew out of control. He was starting to shake and break out into a cold sweat. He couldn’t… he couldn’t…
“Jaune?” He felt a hand wrap around his, his eyes drew upwards catching her gorgeous emeralds. “Jaune, I’m… I’m not sure what’s going on.” He didn’t believe that, “But… but… no matter what. I’m here for you okay?” Her grip around his hand tightened.
Right he didn’t need to worry. “Pyrrha I like you.” He hadn’t meant for it to come out so… so naturally? But it had, there was no doubt in his mind that he felt for her, or what he felt for her. “I like you a lot, not in the same way I like Nora or Lie… I… I really like you.”
He expected an awkward silence, what he got was him suddenly being pulled into a tight and bone crunching hug. Air left his lungs as she wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him close. “Sniff~” There was a soft sniffle coming from her as she pressed her head into the crick of his neck.
“Py-Pyrrha?” Had he done something wrong?!
“I was so worried!” Her grip tightened around him as she tightened them closer. “I was so worried you didn’t feel the same.”
“O...oh!” OH! She… she felt the same… she felt the same! He didn’t, he couldn’t… he wasn’t able to think. Instead he did all he could think of, his own arms reached around her back pulling her close to one another. The two of them held one another close for a near 30 minutes, neither wanting to part. He had placed his own head against hers, delight and joy filled his heart. And for the first time for as long as he could remember, he felt quite alright. No, he was better than alright. He was absolutely happy, ecstatic, joyous even!
“I’m so happy…”
He wasn’t sure which one of them said it, but it didn’t matter. Everything felt… it felt like everything would be alright.
New Arrival
“This is your younger brother, Oscar Pine Arc.” All three of them gaped for a moment as they stared at the young boy who was hiding behind their mothers leg. He had chocolate like skin similar to Terra. His eyes were a dark color as well as his hair. He was obviously afraid and unsure of himself or his new environment. Though as Lie inspected the younger boy, he did have to wonder where his other sisters were.
Lie had expected a lot of things when their parents showed up. What he hadn’t expected was for them to get another sibling. He knew that things were hard as it was, the Arc’s were a HUGE family. Some of them, namely Rouge and Saphron had moved out already, but that was still eight kids in one house hold. He always felt guilty about it, but they’d always told him not to worry. It was his job to grow up strong and mighty, that all they wanted was to give him and Nora all of their love. So again, he was more than a little shocked when he found out they’d be having a little brother.
There was only really one thing on his mind however, and apparently Jaune shared it with him. As both boys turned to look at each other, their thoughts aligned. ‘Oh thank the gods!’ They finally had another brother! It was no longer 2v8, now it was 3v8 and that meant the world to them. Though he tried to keep his excitement down, he found himself feeling oddly giddy as he stared down the small brown boy in front of him. He could see the trepidation in his eyes, obviously worried he may not get along with his new siblings. But when Jaune, lovable brother Jaune, gave him a warm smile he could see the younger boy… Oscar. Oscar began to move forward on his own.
Before he could get closer though, Nora struck. In her Nora like fashion she grabbed the little boy, pulled him into the air and trapped him in a vice like hug. “OH MY GOD HE’S SO CUTE!” Lie could practically feel the excitement that was just oozing off his sister. Jaune on his end was attempting to stifle his chuckle as Nora bounced up and down with the little Oscar in hand. “I can’t wait to dress you up just like Lie and Jauney!” Lie felt a chill run down his spine, apparently Jaune did the same thing as his eyes shot open. Neither of them missed the way Saphron smiled in the back.
Lie didn’t like where that was going, “Dress up?” Oscar was obviously confused, but as he turned towards the two boys Lie could only give him a look of sympathy. One that seemed to cause him to whimper slightly.
Though Lie had many questions, turning towards their mother he took a moment. “Mother, did something happen?” He watched his father flinch slightly, as his mother turned towards his father.
“Yes darling. Just like… with you and Nora.” Understanding dawned on him, as well as his other siblings as Nora only held Oscar tighter.
“I see…” Lie turned towards Oscar who was currently struggling for air. “Nora, I think he’s having trouble breathing.” His sister stared back at the younger boy and suddenly let him go causing him to stumble as his feet hit the ground.
“Whoopsie!” She sheepishly rubbed the back of her head, something Lie had realized they were all doing now.
However, in the next moment he was upon Oscar as well. His arms wrapped around the younger boy as he pulled him in a gentle hug. Now that he was closer he noticed just how red his eyes were, and how puffy the skin around them was. “It’s okay, it’s okay. You’ll be fine here.” Lie felt Nora’s strong arms wrap around them, and finally Jaune’s as well. He couldn’t read Oscar’s mind but when the younger boy pressed his head into his chest and began to sniffle, he knew that they’d have to be there for him.
He felt his heart swell as more arms began to wrap around him till he was certain that both his parents and Saphron had all joined in on the hug. He really loved this family, and he knew that they may have not been his birth family but they WERE his family for sure. He wouldn’t trade them for the world, his thoughts remained secure even as his own tears began to drip from his eyes. He pressed his head into Oscar’s face as they all began to hold together.
They would have stayed like this for a bit longer if not for the sudden knock at the door. That was when Jaune of all people stood stiff. His face suddenly became really red, “I wonder who that could be?~” It was Saph who asked that question. Apparently she’d noticed Jaune’s little outburst.
“Hmm?” Their mother caught onto the sudden shift.
“Seems a lot of things are going to happen at once.” Nora mumbled to herself as she refused to let go of Lie and Oscar. Lie could honestly agree as he watched Jaune panic from the corner of his eye.
“Yeah… but everything’s good, we have our family, and Oscar?”
“Hmm?” The younger boy pulled back to peak up to him.
“You’re part of our family now.” Lie held a smile, he knew that things would be hard, but as the Arc’s had been welcoming of him and Nora. He would as well, they’d make sure that life for Oscar improved from now on. They wouldn't ask any questions, they wouldn't force anything. But they would be there for the younger boy.
However, Lie couldn’t help but feel a sense of giddyness as Jaune tried to answer the door before their mother did. However, Saph was not on his side holding down her younger brother as their mother made their way to their door.
The next thing any of them heard was a loud gasp followed by, “Oh my god you’re adorable!”
“Hahahahaha!” Nora couldn’t help but giggle to herself as Jaune struggled.
“Dang it Saph!”
“Who might you be?” Their mother asked the invisible figure, not like any of them had any trouble realizing who it was.
“Uhm, my name is Pyrrha, Pyrrha Nikos.”
Can’t believe I’m seeing people saying Jaune shouldn’t get any focus next volume 😐
The writers literally said they put Jaune on the backburner for V7, he was literally missing for like several episodes, but now that he did something relevant in V8 people have started to scream that he’s “taking up precious screentime and that he doesn’t deserve focus next volume.”
Like can you give it a REST.
People like that are the reason Miles has stated he’s so hesitant to write for Jaune. Like Jesus
Or people that still claim he’s a self insert! Don’t forget them, either way I’ve just learned to ignore/block them on sight. I do appreciate how many people are supportive of Jaune now though.
If you really think about it, and at least in my opinion, Jaune’s character is unfairly treated pretty crappy by most fans.
You either have the people who claim he’s a self insert, complain whenever he gets any kind of screentime/focus, and blame him for literally everything
OR
You have the people, usually cishet men, who completely change his character to fit their narrative of being an OP shonen harem protagonist when the whole point of Jaune’s character is to subvert from those tropes.
The point of Jaune’s character is that he’s a sensitive, emotional MALE who is also a HEALER.
He started off as the underdog and while he did improve and get stronger his main goal is to support his friends, not to be the most powerful.
However, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve any narrative focus.
He isn’t the main protagonist, BUT he’s still a part of the main cast and like any character deserves/is allowed to have some focus that leads to more of his development and supports development of others.
Like I get it. Jaune may have had too much focus way back in the Beacon Arc. But ever since V4, they’ve done a pretty good job at balancing him out with the rest of the cast, and recently he was barely in V7. This last volume was the first time in a long while he’s gotten a moment of focus and it’s not just for his development, it’s going to be for other characters too, most specifically Ruby.
Anyways,
my point is that Jaune as the character he is gets a lot of crap from the FNDM in lots of different ways.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
A big thing I’ve seen is people complaining about him getting screen time, or hogging the last few volumes. And I’m like, He was barely relevant in 6-8, the hell you on about. Or that they haven’t seen him grow or refuse to. It’s always willfull ignorance or the inability to do actual research. Like claiming he’s a SI.
Arkos is great! 😤
It’s wonderful.
