@Flashfire Yup, I can only imagine how much work I could get done both in my story-writing and general studying if I actually managed to maintain concentration rather than getting in constant debates on wikias, RT.com, YouTube and BSN (yes I'm shameful of the third, you may not have heard of the fourth).

@Zolnir there will be interaction though. The fanbase for Bumbleby is issue, and most only ship them because they can be written well. In or out of a relationship "With Fire Comes Shadow" would be amazing. I doubt we will see any yuri relationships, or really any shipping at all at the minute. I could see Volume 2 having more Jaune/Ruby and Jaune/Pyrrha and perhaps some less serious Blake/Sun interactions but I doubt they will do anything concrete. But I could see Blake and Yang's friendship becoming one of the integral relationships of RWBY just like Weiss/Ruby, Ruby/Yang and Weiss/Blake will likely prove to be, likely to contrast the depressing amount of feels that will come with the aforementioned three. Pyrrha/Jaune may also get more screen-time, especially if they try and push a love triangle arc or something later in the series.

As for actual ships: PyrrhaxJaune and WeissxFaunus are the only two I'd be particularly interested i from a story or character development POV. The only Blake ship I've been interested in has been Bumbleby, which as mentioned is because they just have chemistry when written well, chemistry that would work regardless of their relationship dynamic. As for Ruby nope, I think I'd find her being involved in a relationship a little too weird. She's 15 after all... Anime or not that is just uncomfortable.
