In all seriousness though, I still don't think we really know enough about Weiss to plausibly ship her with anyone... quite yet. I feel like this show's good about letting us know a lot about a character's personality and such from very little screen time, but it's still a bit hard, especially with a character like Weiss, who puts up a cold front most of the time.

We haven't really gotten to know most of the characters well enough to ship them with people outside of those they're directly affiliated with (if that makes any sense). As in, for example, some people ship Ren with Nora because they're friends and they're on the same team, but if they were introduced sperately and hadn't met yet, (while having us still know all that we do about their personalities) like Penny and Yang, just as a random example, I don't think that they'd be shipped with eachother. Which is a pretty crap way to explain it, but what I'm trying to get across is that most ships in the fandom seem to be based off of situational things, rather than how compatible the two given characters are. Don't get me wrong, though- some situational ships are still totally viable.
