Shipping:

Ruby - Not yet. She's 15, the most I see her actually developping are schoolgirl crushes, likely one on Jaune that will be resolved in Volume 2 or Season 2. Besides she's shown no interest in anyone BUT Jaune thus far.

Weiss - If we do see a relationship for her, I don't think it will be a heterosexual monoracial relationship. Her father likely, from what we've heard, will want some level of control over her choice in suitor and any relationship she does enter will likely be made all the more sweet for her if she is going against her father's will as much as possible. This could be a reason for a yuri relationship (highly unlikely) or a Faunus relationship (possible though there'd be some kind of intermediate stage of denial probably). A human male partner IS possible, I just don't think it's likely unless it is someone her parent(s) would approve of.

Blake - Fuck off with shipping Blake with every motherfucker she smiles at. And stop giving Monty positive reinforcement to ship Blake/Adam or Blake/Sun just because they are both Faunus... Could it happen? Yes. Is it likely to happen? Sadly, yes. Will it add anything to the show other than segregating the two Faunus cast members from the rest of the romantic pairings? I don't see how it would. Also stop asking to make Bumbleby canon. Yes Bumbleby is great, it's one of the best ships if well done by a writer. BUT there is no inherent reason to ship them in the show. Every interaction they would have a pairing they could have as friends. Would I like to see BlakexYang? Admittedly yes, does it mean there's a possibility or need to ship them? Nope. Blake has no inherent bonus to either plot, personality or behaviour to be shipped. Yang/Blake can still be hilariously adorable and badass, Sun/Blake can still share awkward moments where Sun makes a joke and Blake silently judges him and Blake/Adam can still have that reconcilliation and eventually trust shattering that will come with it WITHOUT shipping.

Yang - I don't see her being shipped. Not yet at least. There is no one she has actually shown interest in and it doesn't strike me that she needs a relationship to develop. Somewhere down the line a character might be introduced, or Rooster Teeth might surrender to the fandom and ship Bumbleby but as of now there is no reason to ship her. She is also the fanservice character so that may also add to reasoning to keep her single as weird as that sounds.

Team JNPR - It's pratically a given that Arkos and Noren are either happening or none of those characters are getting shipped. Well okay there is a faint chance that Ruby/Jaune might happen...

Penny - Ignoring the fact that she may or may not be a fucking robot, who exactly has she shown even the slightest bit of emotion to? Or are we really believe Nuts and Dolts actually has a shot?

Velvet, Adam, Cardin - The fact that people are even shipping these guys is fucking hilarious...

Sun - IF he does get shipped I hope it is with Weiss. It could make for some interesting story arcs (Weiss's father finding about her choice in partner, Weiss's denial, Sun changing his ways for Weiss, Weiss realising that the two Faunus she let close to her are actually both awesome) and it would finally kill my fears and other people's hope that Black Sun will be canonised.
