To Anon.52:

1. 1.        Really. So if I say I faked my high school results to get into college, I am super special? I suppose the act of procuring such a document alone does mean something… in a legally wrong way…

2. It is also why monarchy is almost extinct.

3. That she ‘sound impressed’ is such a vague statement that I can just as well say that she’s just flattering him since Jaune was running into one misfortune after another.

4. Her first question to him before unlocking his Aura was, “Why didn’t you activate your Aura?” This can mean why he didn’t have it up so he can protect himself from getting hurt from a tree branch, or heal himself. So let’s just say that auto healing – like how Ruby did in RWBY Grimm Eclipse Pre Alpha – is something that’ll happen if your Aura is up.

5. Pyrrha having a crush for Jaune. I admit this is abnormal because her near obsession towards him at the beginning makes no sense whatsoever. Makes more sense later on but doesn’t quite explain the beginning, although it really can be as simple as ‘he looks handsome and he doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable’. As for him going after Weiss, like really? Weiss does not like him in that way one bit. She may be able to treat him as a friend in the future, or even see him with actual mutual respect, but as of now there’s not one ounce of romance between them whatsoever.

Harem material, as much as I hate to say this, happens only when the girls are blindly in love with the protagonist. Weiss obviously is not. If this one direction romance from Pyrrha to Jaune to Weiss counts as harem material, then pretty much everyone in this god damn world is harem king or queen.

I completely agree with the last point, and I adamantly emphasis that your current line of thought is exactly why Jaune fics couldn’t get better. See past the god damn tropes, dammit.



To Diego:

1. … Diego. Tell me in your real life, have you never met someone whom you either seek out willingly to learn a skill, or the other person willingly teach you one without you having to ask? Not once in your life? Really? Your thoughts are poisoned by anime. Forget them for a moment and you’ll see this as perfectly logical. What’s so odd about a friend helping out another friend?

2. Also according to the voice actress of Ruby, Ironwood is the in cohorts with Cinder and is one of the hidden antagonists of Volume 2/3 Arc. My face still stings from embarrassment to be proven completely wrong afterwards. So I have learned since that unless the Word came from Monty Oum himself – and in the case he’s gone, no one at all – I will not trust any of them. Those power levels are purely their personal speculations, so this point is completely invalid.

3. Yeah well, Pyrrha mentioned ‘activate’ Aura. So we can totally speculate that Jaune has forgotten to activate his during the food fight, because a food fight isn’t a real fight, right guys? Guy - *gets smashed by Mountain Dews*

That he was flung against the window earlier too.

4. Yes yes, even if you’re correct doesn’t mean you’re right; I know you’re just dying to use that quote. Of course Jaune has a lot of potential for growth; what I meant that I do NOT want to see that growth stemming from Deus Ex Machine-esque kind of crap. Like he’s the son of a dragon and he’s a half dragon so he suddenly grows dragon powers that has not been mentioned anywhere in the universe of RWBY at all. I want him to struggle with himself and defeat enemies using skills and powers he had already acquired in the first place. For example I am totally fine with him awakening his Semblance in his crisis and protecting himself/Pyrrha from danger, but if the story depicts him totally stomping someone like Emerald or Mercury from there after the awakening then the writer must be seriously delusional.

And that applies to 90% of the fan fiction writers who write Jaune Arc.
