So... um... I've never done a revised chapter for this book before... but hey, I don't feel as though I did a good job when I discussed this the first time, so here we are. How this is going to work is that I'll go through my personal favorite Jaune ships and discuss them one at a time. Except for Lancaster and Arkos. They already got their own chapters a while back.
Now, keep in mind this: the Jaune harem is a just for fun thing. I merely support it because I find it funny, and the fact that I find the ships within it interesting. As individual ships, I happily support them to an extent, but as a group, I'm not that huge of a fan. If one of these ships becomes canon, I will be content. But anyway, let's get to making this boy happy again.
DragonSlayer (Jaune x Yang)

This ship, other than Lancaster, is probably the most popular of the Jaune ships post Volume 3. And you can see why. These two are aesthetically pleasing to look at, both being blondes and all. But I think the reason why me and H20FLAME ship it so much is because the two have a lot in common at the moment. Both Yang and Jaune have a particular distaste for Ozpin, a trait that just screams to me. These two teaming up in an argument against Ozpin is an awesome thought to go through my mind for whatever reason.
Other than that? Well, not much other than what I just mentioned. Anything else could be up for debate. In terms of storytelling, I think these two have the most in common. But let's face it, Jaune is one pun away from getting laid.
WhiteKnight (Jaune x Weiss)

If DragonSlayer wasn't the most popular Jaune ship apart from Lancaster post Volume 3, this one is. And let's face it, if these two become canon, it would be the king of slow burn relationships (why do I love slow burns if they always kill me inside?). Because, while I feel DragonSlayer has the two with the most in common, WhiteKnight has the two with the most development.
As of right now, this ship is mostly the one I go for in terms of my favorite Jaune ship, but it's constantly doing battle in my mind against DragonSlayer for that top spot. My favorite Jaune ship is in flux, but I don't mind it.

I approve of this ship only within the early days of RWBY. Mainly before Sun showed up. Which is pretty much the time period in which this ship was at its height in popularity. Why? Well, mainly because their voice actors were dating at the time. Granted, they've mutually broken up since then, but it was the main reason Knightshade was so popular. Outside of pre-Volume 1 Finale, there's not much for this ship to go on. Though that's fine, because BlackSun is at center stage, and I'm happy it's there.
There was a time when I obsessed over this ship, but it quickly faded due to the lack of good fanfiction, and most of the only good ones were smut, which oddly makes sense...

Oh boy, this is a guilty pleasure if I ever saw one. Though I will ship Emercury to my grave (thank you Volume 6 for reviving it!!), this one strikes my fancy in a strange way. Mainly because it would make a good ship for a "redeemed villain" trope. Then again, I am an avid supporter of angst, and this ship practically writes its own angst fanfic, considering Emerald pretty much caused all of Vale to go nuts, inadvertently killing Pyrrha along the way. I just have a thing for angst; but only if it's got a happy end. Angst is meaningless if it doesn't have a happy ending.
The show does seem to be heading down an Emercury path, which I am perfectly fine with. Because what's better than a hero getting together with a redeemed villain? Two redeemed villains getting together!

And now for the last ship I'll be discussing, which has sort of died off over time, but I can't help but find it precious. Though at the moment, I kinda view it in a similar light to Knightshade; at the beginning, I ship it. Although, it does last longer than Knightshade, I'll give it that. Pre-Volume 4 is where I feel this ship finally died off, but that's really only because Team CFVY just flat out disappeared off the face of the planet, so... yeah.
The main appeal is that these two are the ones who have been shown to be bullied by Cardin and his team. And after Jaune got out of his funk, possibilities for what could happen with these two grew exponentially. The awkward yet brave previous victim protecting the timid victim. It's an adorable concept.
Though this version is also acceptable:

______________________________________________ Okay, so, I don't normally do this, but I feel as though I should bring it up since this chapter pertains to it. So here it is: I've quit RWBY. Well, the show that is. For the past week, I've been surviving off of RoseGarden, WhiteKnight, DragonSlayer, alternative stories, and me and H20FLAME's own storylines with SHDW and EBNE. It was a decision I feel like I should have made a lot sooner. So that's just a heads up. Just don't expect anymore RWBY stuff to be appearing in this book.
