As much as you might dislike it, Cabralfan, I think Scarlet probably is canonically gay, if only because of the shot where people were holding up Team SSSN signs. The ones holding up signs for Sun, Sage, and Neptune were girls, while the one holding up a sign for Scarlet was a guy. While that could just be that the guy holding up the Scarlet sign is gay and doesn't necessarily mean that Scarlet himself is gay, it could also be CRWBY wanting to make a small reference to Scarlet's orientation without making it a huge deal. After all, Miles has even said that they don't want the characters' LGBT status to be treated like a huge deal. They want it to come off as being as normal as someone being straight or cis.

and I think we could get a Bumblebee endgame (Laugh all you want Eclipse shippers, but remember how TLoK ended.

To be honest, as far as Bumblebee is concerned, I personally see it being possible that Yang has feelings for Blake while Blake is unaware of this and may be developing feelings for Sun. As much as some of us don't want there to be a love triangle, it's probable.

(Would explain the whole "How I GOT my name" part, with his parents apparently knowing his Semblance before he was born).

How do we know that Qrow and Raven were born with those names? Raven said the bandit tribe raised them, but that doesn't necessarily mean they were born in the tribe. It could be that they were found as orphaned children and given new names by the bandits.

Qrow comes from a tribal society, for all we know they assign different names at different points in life or something.

Reminds me of Warriors, where the cats get a different name that better describes them once they come of age. Like, when they're born, they get a name that ends in -paw, and then once they're older and more is known of their personality and they maybe even accomplish something, the "paw" part of their name is replaced with something else.

either Monty or Miles said that we'd meet a queer character that Monty was "adamant" about in Volume 3

Scarlet, dude. Considering that volume 5 is going to take place in Mistral, where Team SSSN lives, perhaps Scarlet isn't doomed to forever be a background character. We all know how Miles and Kerry tend to try their best to introduce significant characters before they're actually important or have a role to play.

CABRALFAN27 said:

or at least, that Monty was, and they'll do their best to stay true to his design.

Pfft, please. RWBY is 1/3 Monty's design, 1/3 Miles' design, and 1/3 Kerry's design. It's equal parts all three of them.

Black Sun, which honestly feels more and more forced the more I see Blake and Sun interact,

Forced on Sun's side. To me, it feels forced specifically because Sun is forcing it. He's trying too hard and chasing after her too much, while she's focused on other things. It would be nice to see some character growth where Sun realizes he needs to stop trying so hard and that, if it's going to happen, he should let it happen more organically.

In other words: I feel like the "forced" feeling is not because of the writing, but rather because of one of the characters involved. To be honest, I'd much rather it feel forced because Sun himself is actually forcing it, rather than have only the writing be the source of the feeling.

At what point are we "forcing" M&K to do shit? We're expressing our opinions and desires, fully aware that, even if the creators ever see them, that doesn't mean they're certain to happen, or even that we'll stop watching if they don't.

SYUTK's right, there are a lot of people in the fandom who are gonna be pissed off if Bumblebee doesn't happen, even if MMK never intended for Bumblebee to ever happen.
