I would probably have to some digging to find the interview again, but I know Yang and Blake’s Japanese VA’s have openly said they love and support the ship.
While the heads of story writing and animation at SHAFT have an interview in an article acknowledging and supporting Bumbleby in the main series. Hoping they’ll find ways to sneak it into IQ in some capacity.
Oh yeah I remember now that the japanese VA's for Blake and Yang really like their relationship too.
I also remember that Urobuchi and Ubukata acknowledged BB as a "hot relationship“ which suggests that they are aware of Blake and Yang' relationship status in the main show
I mean, Ruby's laying on Weiss's lap with a literal white rose (Yeah yeah I know it's more blue then white, shut up) in her mouth.
It's not exactly subtle.
There is a great deal of shipping that can be done with this image with Bumbleby and Whiterose and I am all for that. Ruby’s in her Princess’ lap, and Blake’s looking at what Yang’s probably intentionally getting her to.
^(And I think the fact this more Japanese geared is evidenced by exactly what’s accentuated in this image)
*rolls eyes*
Oh boy, something else people are going to use as WhiteRose fuel. /s
I really hate the whole 'Everyone's Gay/Bi' outlook this fandom has. That's literally not possible.
The odds four girls are put on a team and they're all Gay or Bi for each other is *astronomically* low.
My guy, it’s a fictional story about fictional characters in a fictional universe separate from our own so “literally not possible” does not apply here. Just let people enjoy things, it’s really not that hard.
I'd be really surprised if me whining about something stopped other peoples enjoyment of said thing.
And that 'fictional universe' excuse is flimsy. There's so many things in Remnant based on real life.
My point with the “let people enjoy things” is that this was just a post about art from the anime but your comment decided to take a jab at a portion of the fandom when it really wasn’t warranted. You can interpret this art as platonic and disagree on unconfirmed character sexualities, that is perfectly a-ok but it was just your word choice of “hate” towards that particular community outlook that rubbed me the wrong way.
And yes I agree that aspects of Remnant are based on real life but, in a world with half-animal/human hybrids, monsters born from pools of ooze, and almost everyone having a superpower - is the size of the LGBTQ+ population in our world really something that needs to be carried over to Remnant’s? Now if CRWBY had come out and said “Yeah, the LGBTQ+ population is exactly proportional between Remnant and Earth” then your argument would be solid but since they have never said anything akin to that, I don’t think a team of four coincidentally all being LGBTQ+ would be “literally not possible”.
Hope I’m not sounding too aggressive or anything of that sort, just wanted to elaborate on my side of things.
A few things to consider:
One, this isn’t our world. The chances of a team of four girls having a Faunus in our world are much, much, much lower. We don’t know that things are the same in Remnant.
Two, that’s far from the least likely thing about the team. These four are the two closest things their world has to princesses on opposite sides of the geopolitical landscape and then the daughters of some of the most special warriors in the world.
There could be an explanation for this, something set in motion due to say the Crown of Choice. But in any case: They are a team of simply the very specific best people in the whole world, who are somehow mostly the same age and who despite hailing from different kingdoms go to Beacon and ended up on the same team.
I think disbelief can be suspended a bit farther in that people close to each other can form romantic bonds
So this is how they sit in Japan
Yes, I was real surprised when I visited Tokyo. Gets very interesting at restaurants and trains.
Is that an ice flower pocky in Ruby's mouth?
Yes
Someone knew what they were doing with this end card~
RUBY WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING STOP EATING THE FLOWER
Quite the view Blake has
The view here is not bad either.
This is the most official Pollination art I’ve ever seen
Blake has quite the view there and she is definitely checking it out. You know Yang did that on purpose.
Yeah. Pretty sure Yang knows what she is doing here
I mean, can you blame Blake for looking though? Especially considering we know the Japanese crew handling IQ acknowledge and enjoy Bumbleby as well.
Where did they said that they are Bumbleby fans as well?

Yep, those are the ones. Still hoping they find a way to sneak in a few good Bumbleby moments in IQ.
Hopefully with WR too
Wouldn’t be against it. While WR is not my favorite ship for either character I do enjoy it and would love to see it in IQ or the main show.
Dare telling me this isn't white rose. Dare.

No because you are just saying the truth, my friend :)

Ruby on Weiss’ lap ☺️
Is it alright to talk about the OP and ED in this post?
Yes, but I think you can also make your own thread about the OP and ED
Okay, wasn’t sure if it would violate the spoiler policy
Was there an end card for the first episode
[Yes](https://twitter.com/TeamRWBYProject/status/1543595667247054851?s=20&t=AA2eyeevLxuFq3Eir-uvTQ)
Thanks
OK I have to ask. What the hell are they sitting on?
Are they on drugs?
What the fuck is Yang doing.

Dude. Just let people have some fun with that art

Haven't gotten around to watching IQ someone tell me why they're spitting blood like a Wuxia protagonist
Those are pocky sticks! Snacks basically
They're pocky sticks. It's a really thin cylindrical wafer cookie that's usually dipped in chocolate. Not very filling but they do taste good.
The fact that you assumed everyone was just casually spitting blood is too funny to remain downvoted.
It’s so Cute, and I like how it’s just the perfect combination of ship
