Well, I'm going to cast my vote either for my current choice to end up with Blake, which is Sun, or Adam, who I desperately hate for stealing Blake's spotlight during her own trailer and being an arse.

Why these two? I couldn't give less of a care if they were or weren't faunuses. I just find the whole 'shipping characters with their partners' thing disgusts me (except in the case of Ren and Nora, who I ship harder than the Titanic). It's like the people who started these ships didn't have the creativity to try anything new. Also, I'm more a fan of seeing heterosexual relationships than homosexual ones. I've got nothing against lesbians or whatnot, but it just never makes for an interesting romance to me, no matter how hard I try to enjoy it. You can have two stories, movies, cartoons, anime, or whatever, with the exact same storyline, plot, events, etc., with the only difference being that one of them has a straight couple and the other has a yuri one, and I will without fail choose the former. I dunno, it's probably something about the fact that it would take an insane amount of science or magic, or some kinda divine intervention, to allow them to have kids, and something that wouldn't be likely to happen in most settings. Sure adoption is possible, but when I ship 'em, I like to envision what a kid born between them would be like. And no matter how hard I try, I cannot envision that for any couple naturally incapable of conceiving together. (Sorry if this view offends anyone to any degree. It is simply my opinion on the matter of shipping. My apologies if you were offended reading this.)

Now in further support of Sun, I'd say that how he acts makes me think he would still be a good match with Blake. Unlike why I'd prefer Ruby with Jaune (namely the two of them being very similar), I like Sun with Blake for the exact opposite reason, the two aren't much alike at all (save both being faunuses). Sun is mostly lax and a bit impish from what we've seen so far, while what we've seen of Blake has her be more mature. While Sun has a bit of a crooked streak going (what with being a stowaway, throwing a banana into the face of some police officers, and then leading said officers on a chase through Vale), Blake seem more serious most of the time (which can also be interpreted as her being more reserved though, depending on your view). Even in a way their themes are opposite, with Sun being attributed to light and brightness, while Blake seems a little darker. Then again, this may just be me overthinking things, so meh.

Anyhow, that's my view. Have a good night.
