First of all: what the fuck is that? Who just randomly goes up to their girlfriend, especially one as withdrawn as Blake and says something as spontaneous as "Wanna make out?" And do you REALLY think that that's the kind of dialogue we will be seeing 3-5 years from now?

As for the rest: Once again there does not need to be interaction in the show for the fans to recognise chemistry potential. I thought I made this clear in the last post but we do not need to actually see A and B together to know that they would have great chemistry, in fact they would likely have far greater chemistry than A and C even though A and C have twice the amount of on-screen interactions.

It's not about interaction in the show, it's about knowing typical real life relationship archtypes, and knowing what we do know of Yang and Blake's personalities. People assumed they'd make a good couple and began shipping. Lo and behold we now have The White Rose of Vermillion, With Fire Comes Shadow, SoulBound, Initial Inconvenience, the Rending Trilogy and eveything ever written by Tigerlily to serve as proof that those assumptions were correctly founded.

And they could, if they wanted to, easily write enough Blake/Yang interactions that would believably lead to a sparked romance. Like I said good Bumbleby fics appear almost every single day, and some exceptionally greater ones that even its neigh-sayers enjoy pop up here and there. Bumbleby works, if it didn't work then fandom content wouldn't be riddled with the bastard thing.
