Where? What am I missing? Where is that chemistry that I’m not seeing? If you where talking about White Rose I would understand, these 2 getting along has been a pretty significant plot point for their character so far…but what has this show done to make Blake and Yang being a thing makes so much sense. I have an easier time seeing Blake and Ruby (Black Rose?) being a thing than Yang and Blake because in that really small conversation they shared in episode 3 Ruby seemed to connect with Blake on a deeper level than Yang did the whole volume.

 Yes she revealed herself to Yang AFTER she started to kick ass. Yes Yang got a smile out of her with the Pony joke. Yes Blake looked proud when she saw Yang have a Big sister moment…but am I suppose to believe if it was anyone else the scene would have been different? If she saw Ruby owning some beowolf would she have not joined in to help her and make a team with her? If Jaune picked up the knight piece and went something like ”A pretty steed for a pretty princess?” would she have not smiled and rolled her eyes? If she saw any characters having a moment would she have not been happy for them? What am I missing? Call me a traditionalist, but I prefer my pairings to make sense, and currently Bumblebee just doesn’t to me.

Fairpoint, I hadn't really thought of Bumblebee like that. Do I still hope for it anyway? Hell yes! But yeah I totally get what you are saying. I think the only reason it ever became a thing was because 1) Yuri, 2) we haven't seen a straight up reason why it can't be, and 3) Yang is such a free spirit that she could easily be expected to date who ever she wants regardless of gender or social norms (if they even exist there).

To be fair though, I only want either pairing if they put some work into it. If anyone just suddenly are all lovey dovey without propper explanation and soul searching will be upset.
