CURRENTLY SCREAMING OVER PYRRHA AND TEAM JNPR CRUMBS

RWBY beyond episode 2

Look at them!

[littlemisssquiggles]

In today’s episode, Jaune revealed that Lewis and Alyx were actually residents of Vacuo Kingdom (surprise, surprise) during a time before the Great War. And since we know that Lewis actually returned from the Ever After, it make wonder something curious.

If Lewis was the author of the Girl Who Fell Through the World fairy-tale then it would make perfect sense as to why he omitted himself from the written adventures in the Ever After and chose to make Alyx the protagonist. It makes sense since, unlike Lewis, Alyx never returned home and basically “died” in the Ever After.

So my assumption is that Lewis must’ve maintained his sister’s story through his story about her. That way Alyx’s legacy was able to live on in some shape or form despite the real Alyx practically ceasing to exist after never returning home.

Since Jaune was shown to still be have some qualms over his time in the Ever After, it got me thinking.

What if…Jaune were to (somehow) discover the original journal of Lewis which he had used to record his experience in the Ever After in the Vacuo archives?

What if…Jaune were to meet someone closely connected to Lewis and Alyx while in Vacuo? Like a surviving member of their family bloodline still thriving in modern Remnant.

What if… Headmaster Theodore was that surviving member? I know the main popular theory is that Lewis was one of Ozma’s reincarnations but imagine if Lewis wasn’t an Ozma reincarnation but Theo’s ancestor instead?

I haven’t read either of the RWBY After the Fall books so I’m not familiar with Headmaster Theodore in terms of characterization or like what his backstory is.

That being said, I do, however like the idea of the final maiden being connected to Theo in some shape or form.

For me, I like the prospect of the Summer Maiden being either Theo’s daughter or younger sister or cousin or niece or some important person to him as she’s probably the only family he has left.

Again, I don’t know anything about Theo but thus far, none of the other headmasters of the huntsmen academies have had any reason to be protective of their respective maiden outside of a moral obligation as per Ozpin’s instructions.

To make Theo stand out more, I think it would be a nice change of pace if Theo, the final headmaster, were to share an actual connection to the final  maiden as she is a beloved relative of his.

Why bring this up? Well I like the idea of Jaune forming a close relationship with another Maiden candidate. Maybe he could even fall in love with the Summer Maiden.

Technically, Jaune hasn’t had a legit love interest since Pyrhha and I don’t know about ya’ll but…after six seasons (and half a movie), I’m kind of tired of being reminded of Arkos, ya’ll.

It was the Ship that was meant to be that never got to be because Writers decided to kill it off early.

Don’t get me wrong. I love Arkos. Arkos was a great ship that was gone too soon.

To (finally) close the chapter on Jaune moving on from Pyrhha (since even after all of his growth, I still don't think he's over her as the show keeps constantly bringing up whenever they can)...

I think it actually might be cute if Jaune does end up being romantically involved with the Summer Maiden who he actually succeeds in protecting from Cinder when she comes to steal her powers.

I’ve grown tired of new maidens showing up in the story just to die for the sake of the powers being passed onto a main character.

Since Summer is the last maiden, it would be nice if Summer is the one to stop the cycle of original maiden deaths and she actually gets to live on even after opening the vault.

As much as I like WhiteKnight as a ship, I honestly gave up on it becoming canon after V5 dropped and nothing else was done to further develop Weiss and Jaune’s relationship as a prospective romance.

Yeah sure, V9 tossed us a crumb of Weiss being attracted to Jaune in his more mature Rusted Knight persona.

But after further deliberation, I’ve concluded that that little nugget of hope isn’t enough to get me back on the horse of hoping for a romance between these two.

Do you know what would actually be pretty wild?

If Jaune fell in love with the Summer Maiden who is not only a red-head (like Pyrhha) but is also a descendent of Lewis who is the author of the Girl Who Fell Through the World and thus a relative of Alyx.

And unlike Alyx and Pyrhha who Jaune failed to protect/help/save, Jaune is able to do just that with the Summer Maiden by protecting her from Cinder and thus, the two are able to live happily ever after.

That would actually be wild.

Not saying this would become true in the canon. I'm just tossing it out into the RWBY FNDM ether as a food for thought.

alright ain't no way Alyx actually made it out of there. I think they have the story swapped and Lewis sacrificed Alyx to the tree in order to leave and then wrote the story. There's a reason they specifically called him CLEVER and gave him the name LEWIS like Lewis Carroll

I think Alyx was given to the tree and became the Blacksmith - or someone or something else maybe idk. But Lewis 100% wrote The Girl Who Fell Through the World and I will die on that hill.

[c-jay-s-head-canons-only]

Okay, so I stumbled into something a few days ago, and now I MUST make a post about it. I know some of us have already posted about it, but HEAR ME OUT.

I saw a theory on here a few months ago that states at least 150-odd years have passed since Lewis made it back to Remnant. Because Alice in Wonderland was written about that long ago as well.

But I was on the RWBY Wiki, and I saw this on Jaune's page.

29 - 39 (Volume 9)

THE RUSTY BOI HASN'T EVEN BROKEN 40 YET!!!

Now, I understand time MIGHT work differently for the EverAfter, but it's important to remember that RWBYJ fell long after Alyx and Lewis, but Jaune travelled back in time to WELL BEFORE the events of the story took place.

That HAD to be more than 40 years right there. And in the EverAfter, Jaune waits for Team RWBY to fall again. After all, he looks exactly the same as he does when they all meet up again at the market.

Which now leads us to my next point. This:

Summer is reading The Girl Who Fell Through The World to Yang and Ruby when they're still toddlers - bear in mind that Ruby had to be at least 2 years old when Summer left (Yang remembers her fondly after all. And I don't know about any of you, but I struggle to remember ANYTHING from before I turned 3).

But this story doesn't feel like it's brand new. It feels old. Like it's a story which has been told THROUGH GENERATIONS OF HUMANITY.

AND TO ADD TO THAT: Weiss and Blake know the story as well. And clearly, the Rusted Knight - who doesn't appear to have a name throughout the story - is clearly a favourite character to them both.

From Atlas to Menagerie. Patch Island, too.

Which means that enough time has passed for this story to have become a WORLD-WIDE SENSATION.

And lastly, the Blacksmith.

The Blacksmith doesn't just send them back to Remnant. They send the team back to "when they're needed most."

This likely means that a LOT of time has passed since the team fell into the EverAfter. But how much time?

How much did things progress on Rememnant that they would need to be sent back in time themselves (for a second time in Jaune's case as well).

Now, I understand that the wiki sometimes isn't to be fully trusted, but I still need to know . . .

How long was Jaune there for?

Separate thought here:

How old is Juniper??

When did Jaune find her??

[lesbianseaweed]

the fact that Alyx and Lewis were from Vacuo means that there's probably a way into the Ever After in Vacuo

so we might get to see the Somewhat, Juniper and Neo in future volumes

[pilot-boi]

This has been on my mind for a while, but do you think that the Ever After planned everything to go the way it needed to?

Despite Ruby and Neo falling at the same time, Neo fell later. Then the fact that Jaune fell moments after team RWBY, he there since dawn never saw them and was the only one to find the "Time Tree" and just so happened to sent back years to meet Alyx and Lewis to become the Rusted Knight.

It just seems everything fell into place for things to end well. What do you think

The Ever After is, at its core, a story book land. It’s people are real, with real feelings and real pain, but they’re fundamentally different than Remnantians because Afterans aren’t BORN. They’re CREATED to follow a certain role

I think that most of the Ever After follows that rule

More interestingly, the Ever After seems to have its “role” be to heal people, in somewhat unconventional ways

Whether that’s through the Paper Pleasers just wanting to help, ascension taking people who have lost their way and bringing them back as what they WANT to be, or even the Cat’s original purpose of giving pieces of their heart to hurting creatures

We see it several times with RWBYJN over the course of the volume

Ruby feels like the Ever After is trying to break her down, but in actuality the Blacksmith keeps intervening to try to get Ruby to realize that she is enough, before Ruby resorts to killing herself

Neo’s Semblance evolves, giving her Roman back, what she’s wanted since he died. But I’m getting him back Neo is finally able to let him go

Yang and Blake are brought together by the Punderstorm finally giving them a chance to breath and actually talk about their feelings for each other

Jaune, my poor boy, is shunted backwards in time so he has “time” to heal from killing Penny, and then when that doesn’t work (thanks trauma) he’s dropped off with the Paper Pleasers so the kindest Afterans can care for him

ALSO, he’s sent back in time so that Alyx and Lewis, two defenseless children fallen into a nonsense world, have someone capable of defending them and guiding them through the world

So no, I don’t think any of it is a coincidence. The Ever After had its own role to play, and it was created to be a utopia, meant to heal and fix things without really worrying about the consequences (thanks Brother Gods)

And although it’s methods are objectively questionable, you can’t deny the results

[dragynkeep]

Black people in RWBY either gets sexualized or demonized I fucking hate it hereeeee

[paragraph pasted for clarity:]

& added on because i had no further space but the company behind this show is incredibly antiblack. there was documented abuse of a notable black woman, including telling her to kill herself & writing the n slur around the workplace that continued until hr famous father had to get involved & call them out.

miles has said the n slur. other employees have done blackface & also said antiblack slurs. various antiblack stereotypes have also been employed in the show, including the basis of flynt's entire character.

as well as centering all of these black characters around their white counterparts. they are not allowed to exist in their own space without becoming a white characters subservient, villain or thrown off screen.
