I Want One Too

I want one too

So I was rewatching RWBY Vol. 2 Ch. 9, “Search and Destroy”...

 …and I got to the part where Oobleck loses his freaking mind over Zwei. Specifically, he says:

“Canines are historically known for their perceptive nose and heightened sense of sound, making them excellent companions for hunts such as ours!”

Case in point:

So what Oobleck seems to be implying is that certain animal species were domesticated for the purpose of fighting Grimm alongside Huntsmen, like the ninken used by the Inuzuka. Which makes a lot of sense, because unlike Humans and Faunus, animals aren’t attacked on sight by the Grimm (as explained in the eponymous World of Remnant episode):

While occasional skirmishes between wildlife and Grimm have occurred, these instances appear to be based on territorial provocations, rather than a need for sustenance.

So my question is, why haven’t we seen any evidence of this in the show? Where are the scouting birds with mounted cameras on their backs, that can scope out Grimm packs while sending a live feed to a Huntsman’s Scroll? Where are the armored dogs charging on to the field of battle? What about mounts like oxen, that could help guard settlements in addition to protecting caravans or merchants ferrying supplies between villages? I say this because prior to now, we’ve had little evidence suggesting that such an underutilized resource is being used anywhere in Remnant.

Why aren’t the Academies offering courses to students that involve training with animals? Imagine learning how to do reconnaissance, combat, or patrolling with a creature that would largely be ignored by the Grimm in favor of its human prey. It feels like such a waste of potential. Don’t get me wrong  — clearly, an animal couldn’t supplant a Huntsman’s need for a weapon they can directly use. But an animal could certainly function as an accessory to a Huntsman’s mission and expand their tactical options out in the field. We’ve seen Zwei (a pet dog) not only track White Fang operatives, but destroy an Atlesian Paladin-290 with Oobleck, and later best a Beowolf. This isn’t even addressing the fact that Zwei is smart enough to understand and obey complex commands, and if Yang’s to be believed, can use a fucking can opener.

If there’s a point I’m trying to make, it’s this: where’s my domesticated honey badger that can chew through Grimm?

Future Toga AU: How does the Midoriya/Uraraka/Toga OT3 develop over time? And what are some cute fluffy scenes that happen.

Toga is the easy answer, since she's all aboard this ship from the word go. She's very forward with them, but Toga's also very physically affectionate with everyone, so Midoriya and Uraraka get used to it over time.

Midoriya and Uraraka still meet the same way they do in canon, and then meet Toga right after the Quirk Apprehension Test. Toga wastes no time in declaring they're both very cute, which flusters them both, but some other 1-B kids came with Toga and assure them that she's always like this

They have a cuddle session in the wake of the USJ, since Uraraka lives in Mustafu (and Toga does too, though considerably less legally)

I mentioned how Hatsume helps her step back a little at the Sports Festival and the near-kiss at Kamino,

There isn't a near-expulsion scare with the dorms because the forty students who went to save Toga managed to avoid getting caught doing it. Toga instead suggests an inter-class slumber party in the common area, since that's a big enough space for these gremlin children

This slumber party is where Midoriya and Uraraka, already thinking about Toga that way thanks to the almost-kiss, start to realize that oh no, she's not just attractive but they are attracted. And to each other? But they're also both dorks so this is a lot of blushing and stuttering and failing to realize this is mutual

Then Toga absolutely demolishes Overhaul and it's possibly the hottest thing either of them have ever seen. This is the catalyst for Midoriya and Uraraka to finally talk to each other and agree that maybe they do want to be a thing. But surely Toga doesn't like them like that, since she's always affectionate! They need something special to show their feelings!

Enter the Cultural Festival.

After their big musical performance, the two of them drag Toga away and confess to her. Specifically, they use her wording about how she wants to be the people she loves. Midoriya and Uraraka want to be her. And each other. They want to be all three of them, together.

Having them both confess to her, what's been her goal this whole time, in the wake of Eri and the final stages of her character development, is the last straw for Toga and she has a mild emotional breakdown, and confesses to them everything: that she's a Villain from the future and has been trying to get them to love her.

They then cite several of her Heroic actions back to her: Saving Iida from Stain, the Forest Camp, the whole Overhaul situation, that she didn't join the League when they took her. They point out that she could've easily done far worse things, like had AFO make them love her, and reassure her that she isn't the monster she claims to be. Toga breaks down again and accepts.

They come back holding hands, blushing, and somewhat disheveled (intense make-out session) and Ashido squeals.

Aighttt It’s Okay I Like When People Come Back For Request 💕 And Your Welcome! I Change It A Bit
Aighttt It’s Okay I Like When People Come Back For Request 💕 And Your Welcome! I Change It A Bit

Aighttt it’s okay I like when people come back for request 💕 and your welcome! I change it a bit with uhhh blood being one of the main component in order to form crystals.

MOMO YAOYOROZU

Aighttt It’s Okay I Like When People Come Back For Request 💕 And Your Welcome! I Change It A Bit

Is confuse why s/o in the general academic strand of U.A

Yeah she knows that s/o’s quirk isn’t compatible with battles and stuff but still s/o’s quirk is powerful

When she first sees s/o healing someone she freaks out

Their was a crystal forming on their hands who wouldn’t freak

Has already made bandages tbh

Momo actually finds this sense of accomplishment when in a way they have similar quirks I mean things coming out of their bodies

Would always have s/o medicine especially those blood medicine

Sometime s/o would use the power on her just to ease Momo from her insecurities

Would never want s/o to overwork themselve

You have healed Midoriya in several occasions and Momo actually talked to him asking if he could lessen his quirks blow so you won’t have to heal him lmao

ASHIDO MINA

Aighttt It’s Okay I Like When People Come Back For Request 💕 And Your Welcome! I Change It A Bit

Mina was actually amaze of how useful s/o quirk was

She actually didn’t know about this and only found out about it when she injured herself

Would ask about s/o quirk

Once s/o states that they can also use the crystals to change someone’s mood she asked if they could use it on Bakugou

But backtracks when s/o tells them that in order to form crystals they need to use some of their blood

Told everyone in 1-A to never get injuried

Everytime she has a free period Mina rans to her s/o room to make sure she was okay and wasn’t feeling lightheaded

Also has some of their medicines in her bag

Actually wants to know if s/o can use this crystals to defend herself in battle

But of course it’s just a question on her mind since she’s more concerned over her s/o’s wellbeing.
