Seems BlackSun is sailing... or at least half of it is. I'm not the biggest fan of it, but it's growing on me. Bumbleby never made much sense in terms of chemistry to me (and no, opposites don't actually attract --that's just lazy justification, find something better).

....

Anyhow, I think a lot of us had sort of thought about Blake being WF royalty, but I never expected it to actually be true. It really throws her and Weiss into comparison. Both ran away from organizations they were born into high positions of. But it also contrasts them. Weiss maintained a relationship, and continued to enjoy some of the perks --even if she hated it. Blake fully distanced herself, and began fighting on the other side.

It really seems like the choices of black and white for their characters is becoming more symbolic of their relationship than of the individuals. Just as black and white are both grayscale, they really have almost the same story. They are just at different points in that story. Weiss is at the point Blake was just before her trailer. She's past denial, but hasn't made the leap to sever ties yet.

I am very concerned about the safety of Blake's family, especially her father. He seems like the kind of character who tragically dies, and it will be heartbreaking if it happens. I have no doubt that if the WF could kill him without creating too much upset among its ranks, they would in a heartbeat. And the sad thing is that I'm not sure he knows it's coming.
