RWBY shouldn't be defined by shipping, and sadly, that's 90% of what people talk about these days. Bold of you to assume the fndm needs help to create flamewars around shipping.

It might have also been just supertition to give him "some extra luck". But yeah, it will bee interesting to see Qrow and Clover to interact. Especially if they start exploring how good luck might be bad and bad luck might be a good. I have had this theory for a while now, that Qrow's semblance isn't solely "bad luck" but just general probability manipulation, and it's Qrow generally bad headspace that causes it to tend to have negative effects.

ELECTION WATCH PARTY

Come join to watch the results of Robyn Hill versus Jacques Schnee

Free food and drink in the Main Atrium of the Academy

Assuming that this isn't fake, it's comfirmed that the election is indeed going to be between Robyn and Jacques. I'm ready to bet my 20 that Ironwood will send Qrow to protect her from Tyrian so she can be the one in the council instead of the man who already hates him. At least he can get to Robyn's good side by promising better things for Mantle. This was indeed last episode.

There is another advantage to Robyn above Jacques: she is a trained huntress and might even be able to point to the holes in Ironwood's plans.
