I really don’t want to step on any toes right now, but I have to say;

I sure as hell hope to God that isn’t the case!

Before you all start pointing weapons at me, might I explain? Good!

I like the show very much and I like how the Rooster Teeth crew is taking a premise which could have very easily been a Sentai-esque Monster-of-the-Week or Magical Girl rip-off and turned it into a compelling story that is character driven and constantly improving, instead of worsening. And with about 15 people and a flailed-shoestring-of-a-budget to boot!

I also don’t mind shipping Blake and Sun that much (I am a Bumblebee shipper as well, but I am flexible as long story is good).

However I draw the line at the rest of the RWBY team ships.

Why?

Because it’s too easy!

And yes, admittedly since RWBY is rooted in Anime, it is easy (pun not intended) to see why they’d go with this route (a four girl team, hooking up with a four guys team) but I really like to imagine that Monty Oum and the others have a bit more creativity than this!

I mean seriously? You’re going to rip off Winx Club of all things? Where you have a team of six(seven? I don’t care anymore!) girls who just happen to meat six guys from a different school who just happen to be the right match?

THAT! (hits head in a table) IS! (hits head in a table) NEARLY! (hits head in a table) IMPOSSIBLE! (hits head in a table and table cracks)

So yeah, I hope that Monty and the crew don’t deliver the easiest possible resolution to all of this!

But… Having gotten all that out of my system, I will say this;

If the Rooster Teeth crew is going to go with this particular route, I sure as hell hope they can make a good story that actually makes the ships at the very least believable. Because as I said; A good story can change my opinion (and probably that of many other people) on a lot of things!

But right now, barring Blake and Sun’s relationship, I see nothing between Neptune and Weiss that isn’t on a purely physical level…  Although, now as I am writing this, I am having a realization that might render the previous statement mute. Or at the very least, slightly inaccurate!

Oh well, time patience and good deal of praying will show what’s going to happen.

<p class="MsoNormal">In the meantime let’s hope Mercury and Emerald can keep the dance from being a complete drag!
