#cindere

Nora: appears from around the corner, holds her hand out to Cinder. “Condoms. Hand ‘em over.”

Jaune: “Nora! What-“

Nora: “Now.”

Cinder: hands it over reluctantly

Nora: takes it out of the packet, pulls out a beer bottle and empties it into the condom.

Jaune, to Cinder: “Sorry about this, she’s just-“

Alcohol pours out of the condom from several pin holes.

Jaune: “Oh, gods!”

Cinder: grabs him by the collar. “I’m in love with you! Put a baby in me!”

Nora: whips out Magnhild “Zip it psycho! Find someone else’s life to ruin! Now get out!”

primes a grenade as Cinder bolts.

Here’s a fun new meme comic! This one was inspired by a comment that Akumu_Oukoku put up on the ol' Discord the other day, where they wished to see the Pyrrha/Cinder destiny exchange brought back up in a climactic showdown with Weiss/Jaune about to die only for the other to come to the rescue and save the day.

I’m pretty happy with this one, especially that flashback panel. Drew Winter a sweater for her little sleep over and story time with Weiss, and I based that sweater off of the sweater TheWestphalianGwent gave to Weiss in his meme. It was a lot of fun editing that panel, giving Winter her smirk knowing Weiss is enamored with the Rusted Knight, shifted those eyes over for that side-eye, set the eyelids down to emphasize that smug look, drew up the book and some minimalist cover art of the best scene in the show, edited out Weiss sitting in her chair in the background as well as the reflection in the floor, replaced Weiss with her adoring Adrian version. It all turned out really good.

Some of you may have caught my early reference to my own Taking Out the Trash meme to start things off. Threw in the ol’ chibi Ghost Pyrrha, for those with a discerning eye. Added another reference to one of my own Therapist Ozpin memes, Cindere is always a good source of fun. Panel 5 reuses a really beautiful thinking Weiss asset that I used in my Culmination in a Kiss meme. And we cap things off with a Fist of the North Star reference. Honestly feels like I’m building up my own cinematic meme universe with all the references and the interconnected plots. I need to get around to my Agent Zwei continuation of that Taking Out the Trash meme, feels a little funny that I skipped forward past that one’s conclusion.

Jaune and Cinder are locked in a fight to the death when Jaune, weaponless, manages to get his hands around her throat and start choking her out.

Cinder, on the ground, gasping for air: “P-please…”

Jaune: “Don’t you dare beg for mercy! After everything you’ve done, the chaos you’ve caused, the people you’ve killed! The friends I’ve lost because of YOU! Don’t you dare think you have any right TO ASK ME FOR MERCY!”

Cinder: “J-Jaune… p-pl-please…”

Cinder: “Harder~”

Jaune: …

…

“Fine, but don’t be weird about it.”

Squeezes harder

Cinder, wheezing: “Oniisan~”

I’m hoping I don’t get too repetitive by putting out a second meme with the template I made last week. But I figure it’s a unique enough change having Cindere as the theme. Also crafted Jaune’s foot so we can use his and Weiss’ cutout in various other backgrounds, if folks are interested, so that felt like a nice little thing for me share.

Poor Cinder, doesn’t she understand that she’s approaching this pursuit of power (and Jaune) all wrong? She’s literally being consumed by it, losing parts of herself, becoming a husk, replaced by the Grimm.

She noted that relying on others is where her great successes came from, right? But she hasn’t seemed to have truly accepted that idea. Trust and cooperation conquering one’s troubles, while keeping others at a distance and carrying the burden alone is self-destructive, that’s one of the great themes of the show. That’s the way to Jaune’s heart! Get that harem fic started, Cinder!

Anyway, here's the cutout

Cinder really is zeroed in on killing all of Jaune's love interests though. It's suspiciously consistent.

Almost makes one believe Cindere and Knightfall is canon, and not just in the manga.

Methinks Cinder doth protest too much.

It’s been a while since I made a Therapist Ozpin meme, thought this might be a fun follow up to the last one I made.

I was thinking of using an indignant expression for Cinder, something angry at Ozpin for the suggestion that she likes Jaune, or maybe something a bit shy. But I’m liking how that glazed over look works with her little rant.

I kept coming back to add little edits after finishing, changing a line or two with some effects, gave Cinder just the slightest hint of a smile, her biting her lip here, a deeper blush there, an even deeper blush, etc. I think it’s great, it really came out perfect.
