Rank your best/worst ships from the RWBY series
Ooh, tough one... Well, both canon JNPR ships are/were great, and super wholesome too. Renora has this often-used but always great dynamic of the overexcitable, energetic girl with the calm, often rather stoic guy. And that's great - it's often-used for a reason, because it's so good. Arkos was just... Okay, first of all, I appreciate that they didn't do the obvious thing and pair up Jaune, the most stereotypically male hero-ish of the cast, with either Weiss or Ruby, because that would have been a smidge too cliche for my taste. Second, Pyrrha helping Jaune get strong enough that he could 'run with the pack', if you get my meaning, was pretty nice too, and while admittedly Jaune's obliviousness got annoying after a while, props to Pyrrha for finally working up the nerve to kiss the big lug. And it was great seeing how Pyrrha's death affected him going forward from Volume 3. F*ck you, Cinder! You are the reason we can't have nice things!
On the Team RWBY side of things, Bumblebee is nice. It's got a similar thing to Renora going on, with Blake being quieter and more withdrawn and Yang being... well, Yang. And their cute moments in Volume 7 were hilarious. I also like White Rose and Nuts and Dolts about the same amount, which is tricky because that scene at the end of Volume 7 where Ruby and Weiss comfort Penny is almost bound to start a shipping war and I feel like I have to pick a side. RoseGarden is... eh, I haven't rendered judgement yet, and Black Sun was nice enough that I wouldn't have had a problem if it became canon.
Okay, what else... Lucky Charms was great while it lasted (RIP Clover), and I have been feeling some urges to start shipping whatever Qrow X Robyn is called. However, I ship Robyn and May Marigold more strongly because of their inspirations - Robin Hood and Maid Marian. Crosshares is also neat (actually, that one's my OTP) because there's a lot of opportunities to have Coco be a super protective and supportive girlfriend to Velvet, and I live for that shit. However, Velvet x Yatsu is also cute - they have a nice dynamic of the small, shy girl and the huge, careful guy. And finally, while they've never actually met, lately I have started shipping Atlas Dropouts (Winter X Ilia) for some reason. Please don't ask me why.
As for the worst ships - any hero/villain ships, any ships that have been shown as toxic relationships in the show proper (Animal Abuse, Emberald, etc,), any ships involving any form of incest and any ship involving Jaune post-Volume 3, because they are an insult to Pyrrha's memory.
Gods, that took a while to write.

How would that be an insult to her memory? Just because a person loses someone they love doesn't mean they should close themselves off to any future relationships. That is not a healthy thing to do.
People can move on after their loved one has died. That’s a thing and it happens, and nobody has a problem with it. People moving on is not an insult to their deceased lover’s memory.
Okay, on reflection that might not have been the best thing I've ever said here - actually, it definitely wasn't. Probably one of the worst, actually. I have a tendency to get rather heated when it comes to these matters.
I still probably won't ship Jaune with anyone else. You guys do you guys, but that's how I roll.
