FSN Abridged Confession Scene but with WhiteKnight
If I'm being honest, I would switch the roles here cause I think Weiss would be the one to confess first, but then the similarities between Shirou and Rin wouldn't be there. Also, I give permission for anyone who wants to make a fandub of this so long as it is credited, however, I do not give permission to use AI voice for it. If I see that, I will report it.
No more sudden movements please
So tired from sleepless and haunted by you
Fallen forever, was I always just a man out of time?
So this is what life is
No trouble now
Just quiet
Never knew what patience was until it’s face stared me down
Couldn’t bear to witness my own fate
My convictions the weight of it, all the failures of me, and who I couldn’t be
Through the hands of time
I was was slipping, always slipping away
All I felt I could do was wait
So this is what life is
No trouble now
Just quiet
All this is a miracle
what more can you ask for?
I really like this one. So this a Jaune song clearly. Jaune haunted by the his failures as the hero he wanted to be. Especially killing Penny and how hard he held onto the paper pleasers without moving forward for the longest time.
@aspoonofsugar Yes I think you are right! He is questioning if he has been falling since Pyrrha died, which he kinda has in a way. The nightmares he had, I remember in volume 4 when he got up in the middle of the night to do Pyrrha’s training probably because he had nightmares. I wonder what the line about patience is about though. Did he learn it from the paper pleasers?
Hi @chatterkat and sorry for the late reply!
The line about patience references Jaune's time spent in the Ever After, waiting for team RWBY to come :)
If you like, I can explore this idea more and share some thoughts on the song in general.
QUIET AND GUIDE MY WAY
Jaune and Ruby's songs explore their character foiling. In particular, they start in similar ways:
No more Sudden movements Please So tired, I'm sleepless And haunted by you Falling Forever Was I always just A man out of time
Saw you In a dream Are you who you seem? Was it always in the cards for me To be aimless?
Jaune ponders if it is his destiny to be a man out of time, while Ruby asks if she is meant to be aimless. Both feel lost and sing to a missing loved one. Jaune sings to Pyrrha, as he is still haunted by her and keeps forever falling for her:
Some people fall in love for life Others never get it right Love's fickle when it calls One thing that I know for sure Longer than our lives endure You're my forever fall
Ruby sings to Summer, as she keeps seeing her in her dreams:
Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest.
As you can see, both of them reference other two songs to bring the point home. Not only that, though, as Guide My Way quotes another song, as well:
What survives After all the dust has gone? Were you there till the end (the end)? Were you at least called a friend?
My wish came true That day that you appeared And called me friend
Penny dies as a friend (a real girl and a hero) and Ruby wonders if the same applies to Summer. This short line conveys a lot of Ruby's feelings over both her friend and her mother. She shows she is still thinking about Penny and that she is questioning her idealization of Summer. What kind of person is the heroic huntress really?
In short, Jaune and Ruby are both grieving and their journeys in the Ever After are about finding acceptance. This is true for another character, as well:
THREE TROUBLED TEA LOVERS
Jaune, Ruby and Neo all have a loved one, who is haunting them. This person symbolically accompanies them in the Ever After in the form of an Alice in Wonderland's allusion.
Juniper alludes to the March Hare, who hosts the tea party:
She is meant to loosely bring Pyrrha to mind. She is called like Jaune's old team, has golden eyes (Pyrrha's color) and is Jaune's trusted partner. She is a she, to top it off.
Little alludes to the Dormouse, the little mouse who keeps falling asleep at the tea party:
They represent Ruby's inner child and have many similarities with Penny. For example, they are excited to become friends with Ruby and love hugs.
Illusion-Roman alludes to the Mad Hatter, who attends the tea party:
He is a physical manifestation of Neo's feelings of longing for her long gone friend.
What do all these characters have in common? You get it, they are the three participants to the famous mad tea party. Jaune, Ruby and Neo are mad too:
Jaune: This isn’t crazy… I’m not crazy… This… isn’t crazy, it's easy!
Inside A new me, I'm ready But who will I find? Inside I've gotta let go but could I lose my mind?
Neo-Roman: (voice in Neo’s head) Little Red’s gone. With your Semblance stronger than ever now, we can take over this whole absurd place! Why not? Offing Little Red can’t be all you wanted… Right?
They are consumed by their pain and loneliness, which bring them to a breaking point.
It is not by chance Ruby's breakdown happens after Jaune and Neo lash out against her and she lashes out against them. They all spill the tea at each other:
Ruby: I’m sorry, is this a bad time? Are we supposed to be mourning Jaune’s make-believe friends?!
Jaune: They’re gone… because of you! (stands up) The Walkers came for you, because Neo. Hates. YOU! (walks over to Ruby) Oh, and let’s not forget the reason we’re in the Ever After in the first place is because of your plan that didn’t work! What about you?! IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU!
Ruby: Is that seriously what this is all about? You still blame me for what happened to Torchwick?! If you’re looking for an apology, you’ve wasted your time!
Neo-Roman: Do you really think you can stand to watch more of your friends fall? Or are you ready to admit the truth? That the world would just be better off without you?
This crazy party ends with all three characters hitting rock bottom:
Still, it leads them to face their true selves. In Jaune's case this inner turmoil takes the form of two other Wonderland allusions.
WHITE KNIGHT OR WHITE RABBIT?
Never knew what patience was Till it's face stared me down Couldn't bear to witness My own fate My conviction The weight of it all The failures of me And who I couldn't be Through the hands of time (I was slipping Always slipping away) All I felt that I could do Was wait
Here we come to the heart of the Quiet song, which is the juxtaposition between Jaune's ideal self and who he really is.
On the one hand Jaune wants to be a hero, a knight in shining armor. Still, he has no patience to become one, especially in the beginning. He attends Beacon without being ready, he rushes in to attack, even when he should take a defensive stance and he wants to be a legendary warrior with no training.
On the other hand in the Ever After he gets physically and psychologically stuck. He is trapped with no way out and is forced to wait. Symbolically he is regressing (he goes back in time) and stagnating (rusting).
These two ideas clash in Jaune's double Wonderland allusion. He is both the White Knight of Alice Through the Looking Glass and the White Rabbit of Alice in Wonderland. Why is that so?
The White Knight appears to save Alice from the Red Knight and escorts her for a short time. He is clumsy and odd, but overall a positive character and an ally to Alice. Jaune is meant to play this role in Alyx's story. In the book, he and Alyx travel together for a while until he drinks poison in her stead. And yet, things turn out differently. Alyx is not as innocent and tries to kill Jaune to reach the Tree and go home. In The Girl Who Fell Through The World Jaune tries to fulfill the role of the White Knight, but he fails. This leads him to become RWBY's White Rabbit.
The White Rabbit is the first Wonderland character met by Alice. She follows him into a rabbit hole and finds herself in Wonderland. Similarly, Jaune is RWBY's old friend and the girls are happy to meet him again in the Ever After:
Not only that, but the White Rabbit is famous for being always late and Jaune struggles to keep up his routine with the Paper Pleasers:
Jaune: I’m late!
Most importantly, though, the White Rabbit turns out to be not a trust-worthy guide for Alice, who loses interest in him and shifts her objective to a garden full of roses. The same happens with RWBY and Jaune:
Weiss: Then who does that leave us with? It’s obvious we need someone to guide us or we could end up thrown back in time, or killed by the tree, or worse… Purple Paper Pleaser: The Great Tree does not kill. That is what we keep trying to tell him. But our hero still insists that we never ascend… Weiss: What?
The girls think Jaune can guide them home, but quickly realize this is not the case and they decide the wisest plan is to go to the Tree.
In short, the White Knight is who Jaune wants to be, while the White Rabbit is who Jaune really is. He keeps running around in a meaningless routine to escape from himself and his sense of failure and guilt. This is the point of his White Rabbit allusion, which is openly referenced in Quiet. After all, the song opens with the sound of a clock running:
After the Paper Pleasers and Ruby's ascension, though, Jaune is forced to stop and he finally gets a moment of quiet.
A MOMENT OF QUIET
So this Is what life is No trouble now Just quiet
A moment of quiet is all it takes To reclaim a life and a promise made I am the reflection of who prevails I'm what inspired the fairytale
A moment of quiet is all it takes for Jaune, Ruby and Neo to reclaim their lives.
Jaune realizes his own limits and is reassured by Weiss
Ruby rememebers Summer's promise and chooses herself
Neo lets go of her illusions and gives up on revenge
All three of them symbolically say goodbye to their lost loved ones.
Jaune accepts the Paper Pleasers' ascension (Penny's death) and says goodbye to Juniper (Pyrrha):
Jaune: Will you look after Juniper? She means the world to me.
Ruby thanks Somewhat. Their final moments together address both Penny and Summer. On the one hand the mouse is described with a series of adjectives fitting the Protector of Mantle (a friend, a guide, a protector, adorable). On the other hand the mouse tells Ruby she is familiar, like a happy dream:
Somewhat: You do feel… familiar. Like a happy dream I can’t remember.
These are just Ruby's feelings over Summer.
Neo dissolves Roman's illusion:
She says goodbye to the protagonists and goes to claim her own moment of quiet:
With time, she will be able to leave the Mad Hatter behind once and for all.
JEANNE'S MIRACLE
So this Is what life is No trouble now Just quiet All this Is a miracle What more can you ask for?
Jaune is given three different Wonderland allusions (March Hare, White Knight and White Rabbit). Still, his primary allusion is Jeanne d'Arc, so his arc climaxes with a reference to it. Specifically, Jaune witnesses a miracle:
He sees the Paper Pleasers coming back as Genial Gems. This scene is important on many many levels, but let's try to keep it short. The Paper Pleasers' rebirth conveys the idea Jaune himself can be reborn and grow stronger and more refined. Still, in order to do so he has to accept his own losses and flaws. This is the first step towards trasformation:
Jaune: I… couldn’t save a lot of people… Alyx: Maybe it’s time for a change, to be the kind of man you always wanted to be.

Weiss and Jaune = Knight + Queen
Mirror Help me Who am I?
Weiss and Jaune are strong foils (mirrors), who can be analyzed through a specific motif.
They are both Knights (masculine):
And Queens (feminine):
This is made clear also through their respective allusions:
1 -Weiss alludes to Snowhite and plays all the different characters of the story with a specific focus on the Princess and the Prince, which is highlighted since the White Trailer:
Weiss and her inner Prince (Animus), who is corrupted and possessed by her Father
Here, Weiss fights a giant armor, which symbolizes the power her father (the patriarchy) has above her. She is fighting both for her freedom and to get back a possessed part of herself (the Arma Gigas is literally a haunted armor). If she wants to escape Jacques, she has to be her own Prince. In other words, to be crowned queen, she needs to become a knight first.
2 -Jaune alludes to Jeanne d'Arc who was both a maid and a knight. Jaune's story is about him growing into both. He needs to accept his inner maiden to become a proper knight. This is made clear in the Jaunedice's arc (this mini arc really works as Jaune's trailer). There he grows not when he gives in to toxic masculinity, but when he stands up to it:
Jaune performing his first miracle and later on being guided by his Goddess (Anima), who is none other than Pyrrha
Jaune makes progress when he nurtures his most feminine side and shows vulnerability by apologizing and asking for Pyrrha's help. A real man has no fear to show he is also feminine.
In short, both Weiss and Jaune's stories deal with the integration of their feminine and masculine parts, so that they can be full-fledged individuals.
ANIMUS AND ANIMA
Integrating the feminine with the masculine is a psychological process, which is described by Carl Jung with the archetypes of animus and anima:
The animus is the masculine part of a woman
The anima is the feminine part of a man
Each person has naturally both, but society promotes specific gender values and drives people to repress traits culturally associated with the opposite gender. So, to fully be complete a person should integrate the negated parts.
This is the case for both Weiss and Jaune, who are initially trapped in fixed gender roles:
Weiss is the rich spoilt princess. She is forced to adhere to the social role Jacques has chosen for her. She is the Schnee Heiress, which means she should always be classy, perfect and elegant:
Weiss: I'm. Not. Perfect! Not yet...
Jaune is instead the loser boy, who wants to be a knight. He doesn't really fit his gender nor social role. He is a male, but is weak, geeky and odd. He has a legacy of warriors to honor, but can't fight. So, he feels he isn't enough:
Jaune: I don't want help! I don't want to be the damsel in distress! I want to be the hero!
Basically they are both trapped in opposite ways. Weiss fits her legacy and stereotype so well people forget there is more to her. Jaune instead doesn't measure up to his ancestors nor to the classical male type, so everybody assumes he is bound to fail. This happens because Weiss and Jaune are victims in different ways of toxic masculinity:
As a girl, Weiss has to obey her father, to suppress her emotions and to be nothing, but beautiful. Think about how Jacques even weaponizes typical feminine traits Weiss has, like her talent at singing.
As a boy, Jaune has to conform to physical prowess and bravado. He has to be big, ripped and cool or else he is no-one. The idea he is not like the other boys is at the root of Jaune's insecurities.
At the same time, Weiss and Jaune are also incredibly immature and project outside the same gender roles they are trying to escape inside. Moreover, they do so specifically with each other:
Weiss: (mockingly) My hero.
This scene summarizes their whole early dynamic. On the one hand Weiss sees Jaune as the loser he is scared to be. She only sees his superficial bravado and misses who he is behind the mask. On the other hand Jaune is attracted to Weiss because he sees her as the perfect princess to his knight. So, he is drawn to the mask.
Even the reason Jaune initially falls for Weiss ties into this:
Weiss: Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys, like tall, blond, and scraggly over there!
Weiss here is mocking both Jaune and Ruby, two people she has misjudged and shows no respect for. She is being cold, superficial and rude. Still, Jaune falls for it and believes Weiss's words. He does because they describe Jaune as he wants to be perceived. So, he runs after Weiss and ignores Pyrrha.
In short, initially Weiss and Jaune can't see neither themselves nor others clearly. Luckily, this starts to change at Beacon.
What Weiss Sees
I normally don't make nor really a fan of Jaune thirst posts, but this just fit so well and I had to make it.
Audio: KNBA (Kuroko no Basket Abridged)
Draw an Monke
Him eat banana
Anyone starving for some more White Knight content. See these 2 slowly evolve their relationship and personalities.
Oh hey my video
If RWBY really does decide to go the White Knight route
Something I want to happen in Volume 10 ( I doubt they'll do it but it would be neat) is have Neptune try to flirt with Weiss again (since Sun and him should be in Vacuo) but she doesn't have any of that since she most likely got over him. Then, later, the group have a nice relaxing scene of them all making up for lost time until Jaune slowly separates himself from it because he feels disconnected due to his time in the Ever After.
Neptune, seeing the opportunity to pay him back, suggests Weiss go talk to him to try and cheer him up. This leading to a nice moment between Weiss and Jaune with Neptune in the back giving an approving smile before giving them some privacy.
Sun then goes up to Neptune, saying, "You get it now?" To which Neptune now understands what Sun meant at the train station (calling back to their scene together in V6) .
Certifying them as "Best Wingmen"
All of this intending to be a parallel to Jaune giving Neptune the courage to go talk to Weiss in volume 2.

She's ours now
This has been my impression of the show so far
Ya know what I never get about anti-shippers? Why are their arguments always so bad? Like genuinely?
Let’s put aside for the moment that you’re a person dedicating enough time to something you hate to the point of “anti-shipping” it when you can simply go on with your life; but you also have to have bad reasons to stake your claim? No show is without flaws or critique and you’ve chosen to make shit up? That’s crazy.
I see it so much in RWBY, Owl House, My Hero, Naruto, Genshin, etc.
“Lunter is incest.” That’s not how that works.
“Deku is gay so he can only be with dudes.” I missed that chapter. Can you show me it?
“Naruto was always in love with Hinata and not Sakura.” Your ship is canon, why are you coping and not relaxing?
“Jaune is misogynistic.” The same Jaune with seven sisters and praised Weiss’s talents, skills, and intelligence as reasons he crushed on her?
Guys I get not liking a ship. There’s plenty of ships I don’t like, but when
“Gorou is a minor.” Gorou is short and literally enlisted in the war.
Listen, there’s ships I don’t like and not liking something is okay, but why go out of your way to be bothersome and wrong about it? It makes it look like you’re watching/playing something else entirely.
At some point I just gotta start thinking you’re either phobic or dumb. At least give the rest of us a heads up.
Little late, but an accurate reaction from the fndm
God I thought I was over this shipping bs
Okay I have to know, who has been converted or is now entertaining the idea of White Knight because of Volume 9?

Because I had fun with the last CSM x RWBY fan art, I made a Grimm Pochita to go with it.
I might make an AU of this

Oh my God that is so messed up
I want that
