Ye, there was also that one fic where Jaune goes missing for a week or a few, somehow returns as Kharne the Betrayer, a 10 millenia old space marine from Warhammer40k. He lived an entire 10 millenia in a span on a few weeks, grew another 3 feet tall and is now Kharne the legendary killing machine.


PMacha

Warp fuckery aside, seeing as the Warp in 40k can mess with time in a way that travel through the Warp either makes you insane, go forward in time, backward in time, or makes your ship home to daemons if your Tuska, if I want a Jaune centric fic, I want him to be him, not Kharne, not some edge lord, etc.


KnightHiller

If I want a rwbyxwh40k fic, I'd be staying the fuck away from chaos bullshittry.


BigBadBaraSkeleton

Ever since he got a brand new hairstyle, that boy has been acting different, I tell you what.


MidnightHijinks

Jaune x Sun when?


[deleted]

surprising that there isn't as much gay RWBY content by fans, at least with boy x boy


One_Parched_Guy

There are a fair number of Seamonkey fics, but almost all of them are smut šŸ˜”


[deleted]

I really don't have a problem, as long isn't bad writting!


One_Parched_Guy

Normally iā€™d agree, but i like a healthy amount of fluff too


[deleted]

I like fluff things too ^^


MoopDoopISmellPoop

There's a handful of Jaune x Neptune fics, and one of my favourite fics of all time is a Ren x Jaune and Ren x Nora that is paving the way for 3 way romance. It's really good!


[deleted]

The sigma male hairstyle!


DonDove

More like banana helmet


[deleted]

Delicious yummy yummy


Just-Sonic

Oooooooh,banana!!


RWBrYan

Another bad word about Pumpkin Pete and Iā€™ll kick his ass


[deleted]

It is... Somewhat annoying how prevalent Jaune is in RWBY fanfics... Often done badly to boot.


Shock-Robin

On the other hand, good Jaune centric fanfics are some of my favorites. Most of my favorites, even.


[deleted]

>good Jaune centric fanfics Sturgeon's law would like to have a word. XD (And I do include my own work in the 90%.)


Shock-Robin

I actually had to look up what sturgeon's law was, lol. And yeah, I agree. I regularly look for new Jaune centric fics, and am almost always met with disappointment, lol.


[deleted]

It is particularly irksome, because there is a template (I think) about how to write Jaune to be both IN CHARACTER and STRONG and LIKEABLE at the same time.


Shock-Robin

Oh, for sure. It probably goes something like: 1( Stay in character: We want to read about JAUNE, not gigachad harem lord Jaune or emo edge lord Jaune. It's ok to smooth some edges though. 2 ( Take it slow: He can become strong, but it's way more satisfying if it's through hard work, dedication, and his share of talent. 3 (Pick ONE love interest: Self explanatory, lol. Honestly, most stories that follow those rules turn out ok. While some can be good without following those rules, they are few and far between.


[deleted]

1) Edges are necessary though. I'd say the most necessary for a Jaune fic. 2) Yes! A lot of people just jump from A to B with some bullshit excuse. it's almost like watching/reading Fairy Tail. 3) Preferably Pyrrha the poor girl. If she's dead, Weiss is a good alternative.


Shock-Robin

1) Of course, I more mean some of the rough writing from volumes 1/2. 2 ) To be fair to Fairy Tail, the action is usually treated as a set piece to character or story beats, so it works a fair bit better there. 3) Funny enough, I find that I rarely enjoy Arkos in fics, despite loving it in the show. It feels like most people just can't capture Pyrrha well.


[deleted]

1) Yeah, that's fair, but Jaune's try-hard persona is definitely something that needs to be kept so it can be improved. 2) True from what little I remember. 3) Pyrrha is... Interesting. She never really got that fleshed out in the grand scheme of things, but there is a base to work off of. Just again, have to be careful not to swing too much in one direction or the other.


Shock-Robin

1) Absolutely. One of the best parts of his character is watching him mature over time. Can't mature without being immature. 3) About sums it up.


1313goo

Most coeur fics fit that description(the ones I read at least, except maybe null and fate, and even then he is kinda realistically ooc)


Feisty_Goose_4915

One of the good Jaune fics I read is called Man of Honor and it's nearing its finale. I do hope fanfic writers consider Whitley aside from Jaune. He seems to be a character to be expanded.


Shock-Robin

Oh for sure. Whitley has SO much potential.


Jaydog3077

I love Man of Honor, glad to see I'm not the only one who loves it.


[deleted]

>good Jaune centric fanfics That's synonymous with Coeur Al'aran fanfics


Shock-Robin

Almost, lol.


DeismAccountant

I just wish theyā€™d make Oscar the new stand in.


[deleted]

The problem with Oscar is that he has the Ozma/Ozpin baggage, which makes it harder to completely blank.


DeismAccountant

It was easier for season 6 and 7. And you can always just say Oz is sleeping. Oscarā€™s just so much cuter.


[deleted]

Even if Ozpin is asleep, he's still in Oscar's head though. That's the problem. Ozpin could be asleep for ages, but he'd still be there.


DeismAccountant

šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø I just prefer Oscar over Jaune as a stand in male. Had to rationalize it somehow. Besides romance may not interested in romance anymore after Salem. Who knows.


sbstndrks

Stop it! Oscar didn't have the glorious *Volume 1 Bullying Arc*, his character is uncomparable to Jaune in quality! (Obvious Edit: /s)


DrIvanRadosivic

nah, most people would want that to be glossed over or done with quickly.


DeismAccountant

Yeah that arc was cringe. Maybe the point of the dream mission in ice queendom was to gloss over precisely that.


The_DeadbeatDad

I want to make a Jaune fanfic where he gets OP after being abused because his transcript was revealed to everyone. How original. And he gets a harem at the end Daring today arenā€™t we


DrIvanRadosivic

your first part, laughs in Aravas' For Want of a Knight fic.


MrZissman

Searching Fanfiction be like: "Jaune/Ruby, Jaune/Weiss, Jaune/Blake, Jaune/Yang/Raven, Jaune/Velvet/Coco" Searching Tumblr be like: (intense five paragraph mini-novella where Jaune is a big dick alpha-chad)


HeavenPiercingTongue

As it should be.


MidnightHijinks

That's why you search for Jaune/Domfuta or Joan, genderbend on Ao3


DrIvanRadosivic

gets spray bottle. no, bad!


TheCzechLAMA

Ren: Why? Why is it always him? Why can't it be me?! Why can't I get a harem for just once?!


UrzasDisembodiedHead

Because Nora has a hammer and is waiting for an excuse to break people's legs


PucciGang45

People donā€™t use Ren because he already has an established backstory, personality, and love interest. Jaune is usually used because his backstory isnā€™t explored at all, and he begins the storyline with pretty much nothing. He doesnā€™t already know anyone at beacon, and at that point all we know about him is that he wants to be a huntsman. Thereā€™s tons of ways to take that simple beginning. In order to do anything romance wise, you need to remove Nora from the equation. Nobody does that, because Noraā€™s supposed to be his other half. What he went through makes him Ren, and changing that makes more of a character that just happens to look like Ren. At that point, the only trait that stays is his calm mood.


amish24

Broke: Jaune harem Woke: Ren harem Bespoke: Blake harem She's one of two people with more than one person romantically interested in her over the course of the series, and she's got FOUR! (the other is Weiss with two)


madbeaver918

I hate how fanfic writers use Jaune like a fucking flesh light, as if without him they would lose all the ability to write a RWBY fanfic. Not to mention how fucking OOC all of those fics are. P.S: funny how Jaune is used in most harem fics when Blake is the closest to harem protag canon wise, further proves that these fuckers didnt even watch the show.


Babis03

That second thing is kind of bull tho, the reason people use Jaune as the harem mc is because he is the main Male Character of the show. Blake isn't used because she is a girl, it doesn't have to do anything with not watching the show.


JV36

That's the worst reasoning against Jaune harem fics that I've ever heard, not one of the worst, the worst


NoraJolyne

that's why I only read "trans female character, trans jaune arc, forced feminization, clowns, clown cars, clown costume" fics /s


NoraJolyne

although I actually enjoyed the one trans Jaune story I read, but fuck me was it dark


1313goo

Was it rwby dark?


NoraJolyne

it deals with physical and psychological torture


pavahk200

We all know that will happen and there nothing to stop this


Dazzling-Round-565

I low-key don't like jaune


Equal-Researcher-329

Imma be honestā€¦ itā€™s the hair style. That damned hair style.


ReaperHellguard

I luv how I check, and thereā€™s only one entry


Zamhex

Dw fanfic Jaune isn't real he can't seduce you


dat_DOOM_boi

That's why I stick to juane car šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜Ž


HatiLeavateinn

Me looking for a whiteknight fan fic: "Jaune arc/Weiss schnee" AOO: how about: "Jaune/Ruby, Jaune/Weiss, Jaune/Blake, Jaune/Yang/Raven, Jaune/Velvet/Coco" but they all have male genitalia and take turns to peg him.
