Nora: The message here couldn't be any clearer: Pyrrha can't get out of this until she gets her daily dose of domestic abuse-
Ren: ?!
Nora: I- I mean Maiden training! What'd I say? Nothing, and you can't prove it! RWBY is a light-hearted and funny cartoon dealing in highly abstract and stylized urban fantasy situations, and nothing about it would ever evoke gritty realities experienced every day by real life abuse victims.
Nora: (Sighs) Now, let's watch a thirty-something-year-old woman beat the daylights out of her adopted sister slash biological daughter.
Ren: *serving the first meal he cooked for Team JNPR* 😌 🍲
Jaune: *carefully tasting* Wow…! This is the kind of meal that I could take out on a date, introduce to my family, and have a long-term relationship with!
Jaune: Just kinda take things slow, you know?
Nora: *scarfing down her helping* Oh my gods, I want this food to impregnate me! 🤤
Pyrrha: …it’s as if an angel descended from heaven, landed in the kitchen…
Pyrrha: …and then Ren killed it and stewed its body with root vegetables…! 😋
Ren:
Ren: …all right, I’ll agree to cook this again, but only if you learn to control yourselves.
Ironwood: SPECIALIST SCHNEE! You are a Specialist of the Kingdom of Atlas! Show some dignity in your civilian attire!
Winter: (Wearing OPPAI shirt, Poo-shape hat, HBIC dog-collar) My apologies, sir.
Ironwood: What on Remnant would possess you to wear something like this?!
Winter: I wasn't aware there was a problem until you said something.
Ironwood: What is wrong with you?! Did you even see what it said on your collar?!
Winter: No, sir. It never entered my line of sight.
Ironwood: Where did you even buy this ridiculous get-up? Did someone get it for you?
Jaune: ...
Ren: ...
Oscar: ...
Weiss: ...
Winter: No, sir. I bought it myself.
Ironwood: ...I see. ARC! REN! PINE! SCHNEE! GET IN HERE NOW!
Jaune: Uh-oh... (Enters w/ Weiss, Ren, Oscar)
Ironwood: I know one of you gave Specialist Schnee these clothes, now confess! Do you honestly think it's appropriate to treat your superiors this way?!
Jaune/Ren/Oscar: (Quivering)
Weiss: (Thinking) They asked me to go with them because we're friends. I must follow my sister's lead and deny their involvement because I know they would never-
Jaune/Ren/Oscar: (Pointing at Weiss) IT WAS WEISS'S IDEA.
Ironwood: (Death glares at Weiss)
Weiss: Dear Mother... You were right... NEVER TRUST MEN.
Ren: (Walks in) ...Jaune, you promised that we would do this together. (Disrobes) Brothers don't do this to each other.
Oscar: Wait, are we working out to take down Salem? That's great and all, but I feel like it'll take more than just muscle...
Jaune: Huh? Oh, no, it's just that time of year again for us.
Oscar: Time of year...?
THE HUNTSMAN ANNUAL NUDE CALENDAR EVENT
Oscar: ...The what?!
BAD BOY PECS
ASSERTIVE ABS
SHY DORSALS
INFORMATIVE BICEPS
Oscar: ...A nude calendar?
Jaune: Yup! Every year, we and every other huntsman team does a nude calendar to spread awareness of Huntsmen activities AND to boost morale AND to raise lien for charity~!
Ren: It's so popular that it even rivals puppy and kitten calendars in office workspaces. Each huntsman team is randomly selected to cover a month from January to August. We are in August.
Oscar: What about September to December?
Ren: Popularity based on the top 4 from the previous eight months.
Oscar: What was Team JNPR's rank last year?
Jaune: ...
Ren: ...
Oscar: ...It was last place, wasn't it?
Jaune: It was last place, yes.
Oscar: ...Is this last year's calendar?
Ren: (Nods)
Oscar: Can I look at it?
Jaune: I appreciate your enthusiasm, Oscar~!
Oscar: ...I see you were enthusiastic.
Jaune: Team JNPR always strives for the best, Oscar.
Oscar: ...So, who got first place? Is it December?
Jaune: They've been asked to participate every year. That's the kind of popularity we have to fight.
Oscar: (Opens calendar to December)
Ironwood: (Posing with Clover, Marrow, and Vine)
Oscar: ...AH.
Ren: Only Marrow survived, so we might have a fighting chance this year.
Bleiss: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! Don't tell me it's that time of year again! I want to see my darling naked- I really do- BUT NOT WHEN EVERYONE ELSE COULD SEE HIM TOO~!
Bluby: U- Uhm, Bleiss? They're asking us to help with the puppy and kitten calendar...
Bleiss: Be quiet, recolor! Can't you see I'm in mourning~?!
Scarlet: Let me guess... It's calendar season again, isn't it?
Sun: I don't care what it takes. Team SSSNN is NOT gonna be bottom of the barrel again this year!
Scarlet: I wish you used that enthusiasm for something other than being a creep.
Sun: (Ignores, Keeps going)
Sage: (Behind Sun) HEY. I don't like what you did to me last year. You think I didn't notice?
Sun: I'm a burning star, Sage. The world is always gazing at me. They seek a shade to aid in shielding their eyes. It has to be you. There can be no one else.
Sun: (Grabs Sage) IT HAS TO BE YOU, SAGE AYANA!
Sage: ...Me? Alright, that does it! Gimme that camera!
Oscar: It's pretty pathetic that we're dead last every year to photoshop, noncon photos, and a literal animal from another dimension. That can't be good PR on our part.
Jaune: That's all in the past, Oscar. This year, we have you AND a secret weapon that'll get a kick out of the ladies this year~!
Oscar: It was just you and Ren, right? Also, what's this stupid pose you were doing?
Jaune: Stupid pose? That's not right, right, Yang?
Yang: Snrk~! You kiddin'~? Everybody loves that pose~! C'mon, do it for us~!
