On a side/rambling note before I begin my argument, I feel I may have to make an account here due to how many posts I've put into this thread. I've been following this thread since the crazy began, and I seem to be adding more than my fair share.

So, onto my argument.

To those of you saying the RubyXJaune has yet to even begin, allow me to remind you of a point I've brought up about twice (I think) before. Not all romance begins with love at first sight. When romance is involved, of course most people prefer the love-at-first-sight thing because it seems more romantic. In reality, it doesn't always work that way. Love can begin with two people being friends, aquiantences, coworkers, etc. It doesn't have to start with one person thinking "I want you to be my bride!!" And after watching and reading as many anime and manga as I have, I'm kinda getting sick of the love-at-first-sight thing. It's not the only way it happens in anime, but when it does happen, it's usually due to some unexplained reason/lust. With Exvnir, I have to agree. With Jaune and Pyrrha, there is virtually no room for development sans actually getting together. With Ruby and Juane there is definitely room for development.

Now, for those arguing that there is no indication of Ruby currently having a crush on Jaune, this again falls under the argument I posted a couple of days ago. Everything is based on perception. The way we see these scenes differs from person to person. Almost no 2 people percieve everything the same way. Now, with this in mind, you cannot tell us we are wrong if we see something between Ruby and Jaune. Unfortunately, with this we also cannot say with 100% certainty there is anything between them. The same can also apply to Pyrrha. Again, to some of us, it could seem like an older sibling instinct rather than a romantic feeling. Only time, and Monty, will tell.

And a little something I've been thinking of. Feel free to shoot it down or whatever. But if Jaunse wanted to toughen up, Ruby would be a much better pairing for him. Now, let me clarify this right now, I don't mean anything like "Jaune thinks Ruby would make him tougher so he chooses her". No. What I mean is if Jaune ends up with Ruby, he'd definitely improve better than with Pyrrha. Now, as we all know, Ruby seems to be able to interact with humans about as well as a rabid mutt. But in training, one thing you would always want is someone who has your back. Now while Pyrrha may be supportive of Jaune, Ruby would be able to understand him better on a personal level, seeing as how both are still rather childish and similar in nature. Not only that, but Ruby would be a much better goal for Jaune to work towwards, seeing as how she's 2 years his junior and still capable of fighting on par with people like Pyrrha, Weiss, and the rest.

Take my arguments as you will. Agree with them, reject them. But please, at least read them.

To all my fellow shippers out there, good luck with your ships. Though none of them are looking perfect, there's still some hope out there. So, stay strong, don't attempt a mutiny, and have fun. You sir... have the most valid argument there is... though I still am not planning on giving up Ruby to a wimp... but I see her with someone worthy... so If Jaune becomes worthy then again... why the hell not!? but yeah I'm a feminist (If that's the right term) and Pyrrha likes Jaune I don't care about what he feels so PyrrhaXJaune...

and there you said storywise with the character development and all... yes I think JauneXRuby would be a better ship... if the story progression permits...
