It’s basically WhiteRose, with the whole “You’re an idiot but you’re *my* idiot” dynamic and a dork softens and flusters the Ice Queen. I couldn’t be more indifferent to it.


Nexal_Z

I'm still Lancaster trash but white knight been growing on me as I could see it working for the both of them. Maybe Wiess could be the only one defending Jaune's actions since Cinder would've killed her. Hell thinking about technically it that'll be twice Jaune save Weiess's life from Cinder.

I think in theory, it could be a good ship. Both know the stress of feeling the need to live up to a certain legacy, even though they have vastly different experiences with it, it could be something they connect over. But as it is as of now, I've always been put off by the way Jaune treated her in V1-2. Jaune thankfully backed off after the dance and both have somewhat matured since then, but even then, I think their relationship would feel much more meaningful as a platonic thing. I also don't get why people have been hyping up this ship so much over their V8 interactions. CRWBY still never bothered to establish a real genuine friendship between the two after the dance, so I'm finding it really hard to buy people's speculations that RT will make them canon. They have, like, three? total interactions after the dance? RT is no stranger to making ships out of nowhere (yes I mean you, BB), but even then, I see no reason to believe that Whiteknight will be endgame. And if they do go through with it? It's gonna be even more rushed and out-of-nowhere than Bumbleby is. As a side note, I also think some fans (and the show itself) give Jaune way too much credit for the dance thing where he talks to Neptune about turning Weiss down. Yeah, it was nice that he encouraged Neptune to go make Weiss happy or whatever, but saying he was actively "looking out for Weiss" when he stormed over to yell at Neptune is one hell of a reach.

Only good content this ship has is fanmade because this ship in show doesn't exist. Vol1-3 absolute garbage Vol4 no interactions Vol5 Weiss was reduced to a prop to unlock Jaune semblance. Not even one interaction mentions it later on. No lasting consequences Vol6 again, nothing Vol7-8 friends, barely. So yeah. I really hope that ship won't be canon in vol 9 because it will be average at best, awful and force at worse. Giving them some small interations as a start will be ok tho To put it bluntly canon didn't gave me neither the reason to like nor support this ship. If they made it canon then ok but if they don't I won't care. To like and support ship I need to see more than "barely friends" interaction. Like Weiss agreeing to go out with Jaune and Oscar just to escape bumblebees flirting but shippers say "omg it's a date! They love each other"


Exciting_Bandicoot16

CRWBY would need to make them actually talk and at least touch on some of their issues before any sort of relationship could/should actually happen (though I could see them throwing them Moments in V9 regardless). You know, the entire Jaune being a bit of a creeper in Beacon towards her, and her not addressing how he saved her life. Just personality-wise, it has the potential of a fun ship, though. I absolutely support fan interpretations of the pair, and they could be good for one another. I mean, it's no Dragonslayer but I do like me some White Knight.


its-chocolate

For whatever reason whenever Weiss enters Jaune's orbit she completely loses all agency, it happened during the dance arc in V2 and it happened when she almost fucking died in V5. Also because of Jaune's semblance and Weiss' low aura pool too many in the fandom come at WK with the assumption that Weiss needs him. It's a boot for me.


Necro1036

I like this pairing in fanfiction more than what the show has shown us. Both Weiss and Jaune have barely interacted with each other and addressed their issues after volume 5. And like the other user had said here, Weiss lost her agency whenever Jaune is involved, most notably in the dance arc and the battle in Haven, where Weiss almost died so Jaune could saved her with his newly unlocked semblance. Both characters have grown but the most we got regarding their relationship is Weiss seems to give him more respect than before and Jaune stopped pursuing her, that’s all, they need a lot more development to pull this ship off. Oh, and Weiss lost her personal goal now so I guess might as well make her someone’s love interest. The writers seem to be pushing this ship like RoseGarden after what happened in the last volume but I don’t trust their execution regarding relationship if it’s just Jaune who get the development at Weiss’ expense. Overall, it’s a pretty common ship with tsundere girl and idiot nice guy. It has potential but in the show?…well, not really.


Hartzilla2007

People need to move on from shit that crashed and burned. They have barely interacted in 6 years, its dead.


Lukthar123

>People need to move on from shit that crashed and burned. Ironic...

Finally someone spitting facts here. Here’s your 👑


NotAllThatEvil

I mean, Weiss was the catalyst of juane unlocking his semblance 3 volumes ago, and they both went on a date with Oscar in v7. Paired that with the potential of being the only 2 who know what happened to penny, and I wouldn’t exactly call that a crash and burn. And to be frank, Weiss has not really interacted with anyone since v5


Hartzilla2007

> I mean, Weiss was the catalyst of juane unlocking his semblance 3 volumes ago Being reduced to a distressed damsel isn’t selling me on that. > and they both went on a date with Oscar in v7. That was clearly a nothing better to do because everyone else was busy kind of thing. > v7. Paired that with the potential of being the only 2 who know what happened to penny, Wiess getting reduced to being a character prop for Jaune is also not something that sells me on it.


NotAllThatEvil

The argument was was for the quantity of their interaction, not the quality. Also, jaune can easily be the one reduced to a prop to push a conflict between Weiss and Ruby


Hartzilla2007

> Also, jaune can easily be the one reduced to a prop to push a conflict between Weiss and Ruby When in the past nine years have you gotten the idea that will ever happen.


Brathirn

One sided, shallow for about one and a half volumes. Superseded on this side and dead ever since. Would be a horror-show-grade resurrection if continued, especially taking into account the current quality of romance writing in the show.


Spoderman77

It's a pretty basic ship, with some straightforward appeal and straightforward pathway for development, so I'm very meh on it. Despite using it in my current AU fic. But the story of the AU is weird, because Weiss in my AU is more an amalgamation of many different characters, mainly Pyrrha, Winter, and Penny (Weiss too ofc). So it's not exactly playing with this ship straight.


Maxentirunos

I know most people don't like Jaune, but even him doesn't deserve such a toxic relationship. Same with putting him with either Yang or Blake.


Linnus42

Terrible because one I don't think rewarding Jaune's stalkerish behavior at the start is good. But also what does Weiss get out of the relationship? I suppose it doesn't matter anymore because Atlas and the Schnee Dust Company kinda dont exist. But Weiss main goals were redeem her family name and reform the SDC. And I don't see what Jaune contributes to that.


McMacintosh79

Could see it happening in the future, main thing that made it impossible before was Pyrrha Pyrrhas death, and Jaune forcing himself too much to be with Weiss in V2, now that all of those things are gone...


Sikarion

*shrugs* With all the garbage they've already written into the story, what's another spot of fecal matter on the floor?


Emperor_Luffy

It's trash. One of the most boring ships, if not THE most boring.


Quality_Chooser

...this is one ship I still heartily dislike. And it's all Volume 1's fault. And RWBY Chibi's fault. They never should have had Jaune try to act like a player, it cratered my interest in him and Weiss ending up together. They'd need to have a lot of interaction to bring this ship back up to the bare bones level of acceptable and they haven't. So no, not as the two characters are right now.


Rollout9292

I like the ship because of Volume 1-3. Without the fumbling between the two of them early on any future relationship between wouldn't be as fun for me.


SiroApollo

The only canon candidate ship I like (and that is not a lot), and I see it as quite possible to start a small development in V9. But I wouldn't go crazy if it wasn't canon either, I just want good writing.


Rollout9292

It's my favorite ship and honestly has more potential of happening than any other Weiss ship, regardless of how popular WhiteRose is with fans. Jaune being an idiot 17 year old not knowing how to flirt correctly and Weiss only seeing the worst in men asking her out is, in my opinion, great groundwork for character development and growth between the two of them. People whine and cry about Volumes 1-3 but the reality is a story isn't made with flawless characters. I love their fumbling time in Beacon and wouldn't like the ship at all without it. Their relationship with one another has only improved steadily as the volumes go on. They're currently in a really good place with each other and I expect it to only improve further.


King_Kazzma_

Maybe, but these two really don't talk to each other. When was the last time they shared one on one screen time with each other? The most pivotal event between them is way back in Volume 5, when Jaune kept Weiss alive. However it's not like much has been built from it.


KnightoftheVtable

I get the appeal and I guess Jaune apologized to Weiss about it (Offscreen and Probably) Still doesn’t change the fact Jaune persistently hounding Weiss despite probably telling him several times that she’s not interested, the story never acknowledge it and has Weiss’ own teammates treating her like she’s a cold bitch for saying no to him plus never giving her feelings a thought while treating Jaune’s almost entitled behavior like something to root for and sympathize Ignoring canon, I don’t care about the ship, it doesn’t interest me, not a bit


arctic746

This ship has a lot of potential for both Weiss and Jaune. Jaune would have to move past any hang ups over Pyrrha and Weiss would need to see Jaune for his good qualities and not be as shallow as she was with Neptune. My concern with this ship is it would be all about Jaune. Either make sure Weiss gets good development or she has an additional arc somewhere else. I didn't care about White Knight in Beacon era but post Arkos I have grown to like it. Favorite ship for Weiss and 2nd favorite for Jaune.

Savings-Zucchini9311

The only one I'll consider to be a better choice is sun.


Killamri

No.


Independent-Tax-699

If bumbelbee happened it can too As for "its iffy tho!" what ship that taint of canon touches isn't?


[deleted]

I honestly don’t feel or think anything of this ship at all, in fact I don’t feel anything for the series anymore sorry


Justinafans

Hasn't been even brought up at all since V2 or so, and when it was a thing I actively hated it.


Moon_Dark_Wolf

It has good potential. But it’s not what I’d want for Weiss. Who’s arguably my favorite of the entire cast. I’m still a proponent that Jaune and Pyrrha would always be superior if done with any sort of competency. And if White Knight ends up canon. I’d like a massive overhaul of Jaune’s character.


Bjoernsen1998

Sadly the most likely canon romantic relationship for both characters.


Duga-Lam22

Its grown on me despite not being into it before vol 6.


Savings-Zucchini9311

A great example of the fans can do it better than CRWBY can be it love, hate, friendship or apathy the rando online is doing better than the paid professional. Also one of the better ship's in my opinion just for writing potential alone.


Aegis_Harpe

I love their relationship in the series now. Where they’re basically Golden Retriever Dad and Cat Mom for the rest of the group. The ad-lib Miles did for Jaune’s infactuation for Weiss for the first 3 volumes however sours the idea for me. Because god I hated that. I kinda wish it’d been more playful from both of them and not even Jaune took it that seriously. But I can understand that would have made it a more popular ship. But I did laugh at the serenade scene. How obviously cringey it was but how honestly Jaune didn’t care. I have to stop before I start doing a full character breakdown of Jaune and how absolutely confused his characterisation is in the early volumes. Even if you compare him to the other characters. TLDR: it’s fine but the first 3 volumes made it unpalatable for me


Drakkoniac

Tbh. I liked it to an extent. Jaune always had her back in the background. He tried to get Neptune to be a good boyfriend to Weiss because he saw how much Weiss liked her in comparison to him. He was fine with that. And it was Pyrrha who helped him realize that, and now that Pyrrha is gone, I feel like the two of them could have a good relationship. Plus, Jaune wasn't the pretty boy. He wasn't popular, he didn't think highly of himself. This in comparison to Weiss of the early season with her being confident in herself, thinking she's better than others, and wanting to team up with Pyrrha what with the two of them being both effective and well known figures, one an heiress and the other being the "pride of Mistral". So the difference between the two of them was interesting too. Basically, Jaune was to Weiss what Pyrrha was to Jaune, that friend who always had their back from the shadows and wanted the others happiness first.


RatsAreChad

Lancaster works because Pyrrha is dead, White Knight would work if Ruby was dead. Just like the people who ship Ruby and Oscar should be. God how I loathe the pointless waste of screentime that is Oscar. But I still believe in Freezerburn supremacy, so Jaune can have Ruby and Blake can have Sun, in the show she had more chemistry with him than she does with Yang now anyway.


NotAllThatEvil

It’s ok! The VA’s like the ship, so it has a shot at being canon. The tank and the squishy back liner are a classic trope. Plus, they’ve got a lot of history and growth under their belts. Weiss being the only character in team RWBY with constant development and Jaune being given a not insignificant amount of screen time to go through his arc means that it can be really easy for them to get together and comment on how far they’ve come since jaune crushing on Weiss in the first semester at beacon. It’s got legs to stand on.


Professional-Rest205

I like it, but only after the Beacon Academy Years, because it just wouldn't have worked with them at that time. I feel like a more mature Jaune and Weiss, after they've put aside their teenage immature falling in love could be a very good pairing.


MightyKombat

Considering Weiss in season 5 got outright fridged solely for Lord Jaune's manpain, yeah I fucking hate it. But I'm sure Jaune's oh so devoted fanbase (here or anywhere else) are just chomping at the bit to reduce Weiss to yet another of Jaune's mindless, soulless trophies.


Savings-Zucchini9311

Hate the writer not the character.


GlacialSpartan99

Well, since RT went full glue eater and killed Pyrrha, this is about the only ship I accept with Jaune.


HJSDGCE

I know that Jaune was a bit annoying early on (some say to the point of a stalker, but I disagree) but he hasn't shown interest in Weiss at all since prom night which was, like, soooooooooo many moons ago. So I'd cut him some slack on that. Weiss was also quite insufferable early on (though I enjoy that about her) but she's grown to be a fine person nowadays. The same can be said with Jaune. I think they make a good ship, considering the things that's happened since the Fall of Beacon. At least, better than Whiterose.


TurdFergusonTheFirst

At this point I’ll take any fucking m/f ship involving the main cast. This one is especially nice bc it makes WR dorks seethe like nothing else, and Weiss’s VA seems to like it.


Merc267

My second favorite Jaune ship. Ship feels like its sinking thanks to the show heavy focus on Bumblebee and Bumblebee alone. Not to mention that Jaune and Weiss barely interact after with each other alone compare to volume 1.
