I'm gonna get crap for constantly defending Jaune, but dangit he's one of my favorite characters. I really love the fan art that embraces him as a human being rather than as a comic-relief character.

Plus as a writer, i'm a sucker for a good tragedy.

Don't feel bad. Jaune is pretty much my favorite character, since he is so relatable. It's like he's the main character of a story inside the main story where Ruby is the main character.
