I hear ya on that "forever alone" thing, my fanfics are where it's at these days!

I'm really hoping the androgyny stays canon, at least for a while, and that the reason Monty hasn't released any "specific" information on Scarlet or Sage yet doesn't have anything to do with the VAs, because I'm really hoping for Scarlet to be that eventual LGBT character.... He said there may already be one, but that we won't know for a while, since the characters are still figuring themselves out, so what if they just keep Scarlet's androgyny going for maybe a volume or a half, and then one day, Scarlet just gets fed up and comes right out with his (it's just easier to call Scarlet a "him", so I'll stick with it for now, I guess) "true" identity?

I just hope the writers don't wait until the last second of the volume to finally introduce him to the other characters (meaning taking him out of the background), and then end up not even having him say anything -____-

Oh yeah, writing is my release nowadays, although I hate myself for it. Is it really the only thing I have? Speaking of which, I REALLY need to keep updating my RWBY fanfic, it's been months since I posted anything...

I would laugh if they did make Scarlet, Sage, Sun and Neptune team LADS, with Michael, Ray, Kerry and Gavin as VAs, so we'll see. As for Scarlet being trans, that'd be amusing, but obvious at the same time. He's androgynous, so it's obvious if he turns out to be trans. This is why the speculation on Ren is interesting - I know that it was always a joke on shipping Jaune and Ren to give the Yaoi fangirls something until Sun appeared, but if Ren turns out to be the first LGBT character, or at least the first revealed one, then I'll be left riding the USS Sloth to the bottom of the ocean straight out of drydock. Everyone else can abandon ship, but I'll take the blow and stick on the sinking ship. Better that than admit being wrong, in this case. But, we can cross Blake, Sun, Neptune, Jaune and Pyrrha off the list of characters. Potentially Ruby as well, since she's got no real attraction to either gender... she seems to have more interest in weapons than anything else, and I'm pretty sure that's not a sexuality.
