Honestly I am a little worried at the attention Bumbleby, White Rose, Arkos and Noren get. They appear so often to fanwork that you'd think that they were canon if you didn't know better. The worry comes from a simple fact: The majority often does influence writing. Just look at the Walking Dead for example. How many people were practically pleading for more Daryl/Beth? Why didn't Shane die BEFORE Hershel's farm? What was the reason for Daryl turning from supporting cast member to one of the starring? Granted fans may not have influenced everything there but there seems to be a pattern in what Glen writes tends to be what the fans ask for.

Now I would personally love Bumbleby (especially moreso than every other Blake ship out there) and I wouldn't be disappointed to see any of the other three, if well-written I might even feel pulled in to White Rose and Noren, but still the fact that Bumbleby ships are seen more often than people saying Yang and Ruby are related is worrying. Regardless of what I want it's not what everyone wants and Monty may decide to go down that route to appease fans. I have no problems with that one, but there is definately still room for experimentation and argument over who, if anyone, to canonically ship Weiss, Ruby and Jaune with. And hell who knows, perhaps I'm being close-minded with Blake maybe Tauradonna, Ladybug, Monochrome or Black Sun IS the way to go and I just don't because of a bias in the work I've read myself (a relatively large amount of which contains Bumbleby in some way, shape or form).
