It's early in the morning, Jaune is still lying in his bed. It's so comfortable that he doesn't want to leave. He then moves a little and hugs something soft and warm. Everything was going well until what he was something grabbing his butt.
Jaune: What the fuck?!
He jumps out of bed
Ruby: Why did you leave? We were so warm snuggled together.
She says as she comes out from under the sheets
Jaune: Ruby?! What are you doing in my bed?!
Ruby: Well, I'm enjoying my member benefits.
Jaune: *Confuse* Your what?
Ruby: My membership.
She says as she pulls out an ID card in front of him.
Jaune: Give me that.
He takes it from her hands and looks at it.
Jaune: What the hell is this? Is it a joke? Wait a minute… MY MOM APPROVED THIS?!!
Ruby: Yep, and let me tell you, getting in was difficult.
Jaune: You member number 29?! How many members are there?!
Ruby: I don't know, your mom is the one who keeps track.
She shrugs her shoulders
Jaune: *Angry* GOD DAMN IT MOM!!!!
Meanwhile
Mama Arc: Aaa-Chu! *sniff* Someone is talking about me.
Saphron: Maybe it was Jaune… talking about your club… you know, the club you made to get more grand babies!
on a scale of Gomez Addams to Vernon Dursley (for treatment of Harry not Dudley) where do you think Jaune's dad falls in terms of neglect?
Hm... That's a pretty good scale.
Gomez is especially attentive of his kids, and though his enthusiasm may get taken away when praising one of his kids, he will quickly shift gears to support his other child, though it may take some guidance from his wife, Morticia, like we've seen in the animated series. So, let's put him at... 10.
Vernon Dursley is... clearly at the bottom of the scale, even if his weight scale only shows three digits, considering he puts more attention and care to his biological son than to his adopted son/nephew. Dudley has his own room while Harry sleeps in a storage space under the stairs. To be honest, the only good Dursley in the house is Dudley, though he starts off as an entitled shit, he actually apologizes to Harry later on for how horribly he treated him (sure, I only know this because it's in a deleted scene, but eh). So yeah, 1.
Obviously, there are worse fathers in media, just like there are better fathers in media. Now, let's look at Jaune's dad and... Oh... Uh... It seems he's... misplaced... Not to worry, though! We can just look at what kind of person he was based on what his kids are like.
First off, we have Jaune's dad's "infamous" quote of "all you need is confidence". And I put infamous in quotations because people don't like that this was something he learned from his dad. But, to be honest, I think this is a great first step. Jaune's dad is clearly offering life advice for his son. It's not perfect advice, but it is good advice, especially for a lanky teenager like Jaune who only just decided to become a huntsman.
People will harp on Jaune's dad, saying that he should have trained his son to be a huntsman, but... I don't think Jaune wanted to be a huntsman until he was much older. Ruby, Yang, Weiss, and probably everyone else in the show already had training under their belts from an early age and chose to go to Beacon to continue their training so they can become huntresses. Jaune... didn't, if I'm assuming right. Jaune basically did the same thing as hopping on a bus for boot camp- Wait, no. No, it's more like he jumps into a platoon, SKIPPING boot camp so that he can get that OJT. Then again, there's probably a better analogy for this, but my point is that I don't blame Jaune's inexperience as much on his dad as I do on Jaune himself.
BUT there's also one scene that shows us what kind of parents Jaune's dad AND mom were like. Jaune says in V3 that when he left for Beacon, his parents told him "Hey, if this doesn't work out, you can always come home". Normally, this is common rhetoric for parents telling their kids that they can always fall back to their family whenever they fail. But Jaune interpreted this as "You are going to fail, and we'll see you when you do". Jaune believes his parents don't believe in him, which, if you consider they raised him, they probably have good evidence to believe this.
That said, let's look at how Jaune's sister turned out. Saphron, whom we meet in V6, is a married homemaker mom who opens her home to her brother and his many, many, many friends. That said, I want to take this time to say that if my sister dropped in on me with a dozen people looking to crash for the night, I'm... hesitant... to welcome anyone but her into my home. But Saphron, champion Arc that she is, welcomes everyone. Overall, Saphron seems happy, like, genuinely happy with her son and wife. She even goes along with Jaune's plan to steal the bullhead from Cordovin.
I'm probably speculating here, but I think there's two ways to look at this. You could either see this as "Mama and Papa Arc kicked out their daughter and she's much happier having left them" OR "Papa and Mama Arc raised their kids to rely on each other because family always helps family". Me, I prefer the ladder, and the second of the two options.
So on a scale between "maliciously neglectful papa" and "accidentally neglectful but still well-meaning papa", I would put Papa Arc higher on the scale simply for the fact that Jaune and Saphron don't really have anything to say about their parents being neglectful, intentionally harmful, or in any real negative light. But they still let Jaune run off to be a Huntsman with the family sword, so... 8/10. Good parents, but not perfect. He's no Bandit, that's for sure.
Get ready lads, it’s a double feature this time for scene art made by moi!
First scene is the opening, and was my first assignment for this episode. I hadn’t gotten the chance to draw tyrian or hazel yet in my works for this series, so I really wanted to amend that by doing some villain work. However, shortly after beginning work on this scene, I had to put it on hold to work on the later scene which I’ll talk about later.
A redesign was done by one of our artists for Salem’s castle, heavily modeled after the emerald city in the wizard of oz, and I went off the art they did for drawing it.
Lots of people caught on to the presence of others at the castle! I’m so pleased when people pay attention -w- Basically they’re followers of Salem, and are the staff who inhabit and maintain the castle for Salem and her crew. You know, doing all the menial shit like storing the airship, cooking, cleaning, searching their mail, all that jazz. Hey, it’s a castle, and a castle has gotta have servants, right?
I wanted to sketch the characters in a more detailed way for this scene, I didn’t feel like copping out with one of my simpler art styles, even if it would’ve been slightly faster. Although I was still having to work pretty fast, so even these sketches aren’t as polished as I would’ve liked. xD I got put on this episode a week before it was due to come out(my own doing since I requested the scene), but even so I had confidence in myself I could get it done in time.
the heights are a little scuffed whenever Hazel’s on screen. He’s 8 feet tall, and technically should be even bigger next to mercury and emerald than he is here, but in the interest of easier framing and not having to shrink them just to fit their proper heights all together, I played it a little loosey-goosey and allowed the other characters to essentially stand on apple boxes when needed.
Drawing Tyrian being a creep is so fun~ I love creepy characters~ I saved drawing Tyrian for last, Emerald before him, Mercury before Emerald, and I drew Hazel first in all the frames. I wanted to make sure I was primed for drawing Tyrian, since his face is a complex shape.
Drawing such an exagerated, sparkle-eyed expression for Tyrian was also super fun. xD I wanted to match the rough sketch I made for this scene as closely as possible, which was sorta more spongebob-esque? it was this lmao
truly a lovely face for a lovely place.
Anyways, I was also glad I saved Emerald for one of the last characters I drew, since her design has a lot of intricate details. Her guns I 100% half-assed though lol, I figured if I could make them vaguely convincing then it’d be fine.
I had to think carefully about Tyrian’s approach in this scene. Whether he would cut his cheek like he does in canon, whether he walks forward to cut his shoulder, or grabbing it like he does here. In the end I decided him grabbing her blade and cutting his hand was more malicious, especially since he’s in the middle of lecturing Emerald about the importance of not spilling blood on Salem’s hollowed ground. It’s like he’s purposefully trying to create an excuse for himself to hurt Emerald, consequence-free. In addition, it communicated strongly the amount of control that Tyrian had over the situation, even with Emerald brandishing her weapons, she has no power over him.
I always loved this scene in canon!! i’ve been an emerald/mercury stan since the two were introduced, so i gotta appreciate the little breadcrumbs as they come lol
this frame is actually pretty accurate in terms of the height different between tyrian and hazel. tyrian be a toll man
prancing tyrian~ it was about this frame that i really began to understand the sort of character tyrian was when drawing him. in that he’s like a preacher for a cult who was also given liberal permission with a knife.
not much to say about this shot. it’s nice that there’s an airship landing pad at salem’s castle and a direct entrance from there lol.
Now the second scene I worked on! I actually wasn’t assigned this scene, but an emergency came up where the artist who was originally supposed to do this scene just wasn’t available anymore. This was a cowabummer, because it was actually one of the most important scenes in the episode and had been listed as high priority. Seeing the distress and emergency of the situation, I put my first scene on hold and volunteered myself to take over the jaune and saphron scene, presented celtic with the finished rough sketches first thing in the morning.
Since speed was once again the #1 priority, I opted for a simpler and looser style. However, I didn’t fall fully into my old stickman style, and instead ventured to create something of a new iteration on that style? My art has been pushing towards smaller/more realistic facial features, and I started wanting my stickman style to reflect that somewhat.
I went through a couple different iterations of this frame before I decided it would be best if it was shot from the other side of the door. I was having issues illustrating both jaune sitting down and saphron standing and looking after ruby in the same shot, as well as showing saphron’s worried expression. In the first iterations I favored putting the camera over on Jaune’s side and letting him take up most of the frame, but I like this positioning much better.
This was kinda tricky to draw. I don’t normally draw characters rubbing their brows to communicate weariness, so it was an interesting challenge. Although it turned out more of a forehead rub than a brow rub, lol
I love it when I can be economical with my art, and a single drawing can last for an entire exchange.
serious jaune making a serious face, fighting back against the dark of saphron’s realism, oh yeah.
I may not be very good at drawing people in foreshortened poses, but i still think it’s fun xD I like how tender this moment between Jaune and Saphron is, she gives off such kind big-sister vibes, and Jaune takes her advice seriously.
And that covers it for this episode! Thanks so much for reading, and I look forward to seeing you all the next time there’s art to share for Fixing RWBY!
Terra-Cotta discovering that Jaune and Saphron are fucking like animals in heat.
Terra hummed to herself as she walked down the hall to her and her wife's room. She gasped as soon as she opened the door. On the bed was Saphron on her hands and knees, with Jaune pounding into her from behind. "Saphron! Jaune! How could you!?" she shouted.
The pair froze and looked over at Terra. "I can explain!" Saphron said.
"You know you're supposed to wait for me! You know I like to watch!" Terra closed the door behind her. She sauntered over to the edge of the bed, stripping her clothes as she did so. "Mmm. Now you may go," she smirked as she started to tease herself with a couple of fingers.
Jaune didn't need to be told twice. He grabbed his sister's hips again and started to quickly fuck her. Saphron moaned loudly as she felt her brother's large cock moving in and out of her. Finally, Saphron's arms gave out, and she let her head rest on the bed.
Terra had started to finger herself more, adding her moans to the sounds in the room. Jaune looked up from his sister's big ass jiggling with every thrust to watch Terra pleasuring herself. She had started to play with one of her boobs. When she saw that Jaune was watching her, she lifted her large breast and flicked her tongue against the nipple.
Seeing Terra lick and play with her own nipple fervently turned Jaune on. He started to thrust faster and harder into Saphron, causing her mind to be filled with nothing but pleasure. Terra loved seeing her wife in this state. Soon, she let out a moan and wiggled her fingers deep inside of her. Jaune couldn't hold out any longer. He pulled out and rubbed his cock between Saphron's buttcheeks. Then, with a few more thrusts, he came all over Saphron's back.
Jaune: Alright. Mom. Promise- no, you look at me. You look me in the eyes, dammit! Promise me you won’t show Pyrrha any of my baby photos. Promise me!
Jaune’s Mom: Jaune, sweetie. I already sent her the JPGs.
Jaune: Noooooo!
Pyrrha, sat giggling at her scroll, legs kicking adorably: Awwww you were such a little wittle marshmallow baby! So cute and soft! *Delighted squeal.* Look at those chubby cheeks!
Jaune, grumbling and fidgeting.*
Saphron, smirking: Oh stop shufflin like a deck of cards, bro. Besides, it’ll get worse. Wait till she sees the bathtub pic.
Jaune’s Mom: Oooh and the dress up party? Where your sisters got you to model all their sundresses?! Oh so cute!
