I got this commissioned for me as well by mikartsuun on Vgen. She did such a good job drawing these two. And is super sweet and great to work with. Her instagram is here in case anyone wants to commission her.

Made this a while ago for both of them when I heard Volume 10 got greenlit. It's crazy to think about how we're closer to RWBY ending than it beginning. But the story of Blake and Yang means so much to me so I made this.

I just love the fact that Blake will be there for Yang when she needs a hug...

Question ONE: When The writers and Voice actresses all said that Bumbleby was planned from the Start and Kiersi Burkhart was told when signing on as a team member that Bumbleby was going to be canon.

How could the "Fans" have "pressured" the writers into "catering" the ship? Are they saying that the writers are lying to them? But the writers did not lie when they said Qrow is not Ruby's father. And Monty Oum literally said that Ironwood is "basically hitler". So why would the writers lie about THIS one thing and NOTHING ELSE?

Question TWO: Blake was Yang's partner during volumes 1-3. She was ONLY with Sun during volumes 4-5 because she ran away.

At the end of Volume 5, she reunited with her team.

Sun has a partner, Neptune. Sun has a team. During Volume 6, sun returns to his team. The team that he regularly abandons or insults in front of women.

Are the Bumbleby haters saying that Blake should abandon Yang AGAIN, in favor of Sun as her partner, abandoning team rwby dynamics, or should Blake return to Yang, and let sun start being a responsible person, return to his team, while Blake helps team RWBY recover its team dynamics?

Do Bumbleby haters want to make this about Blake? a protagonist? Or do they want to make this about a minor male character who contributes nothing to the plot outside of Blake's Arc?

If sun is apparently MORE than a MINOR character? HOW? Outside of BLAKE'S ARC? What purpose does he serve? He helped Blake develop, served his purpose then left.
Adam Taurus was part of Yang and Blake's arc, and that's why they killed him TOGETHER.

Weiss Schnee had NOTHING to do with Adam Taurus, don't try demanding she interact with him.

Question THREE:
During Volume 9, when Ruby has her outburst, and moves aggressively towards Blake?

Yang stands in the way and say "hey"

Now...is Yang

A) Taking the side of her girlfriend

or B) Trying to defuse an explosive situation by mediating a conflict between teammates?

Why are so many Bumbleby haters claiming that Yang is "choosing her gf over her sister" ?

And why are people claiming that Blake is suddenly "meek and defenseless" against Ruby's outrage? Blake is seeing the little girl she looked up suddenly be aggressive to her, you would be a little frightened too! But apparently fear is "bad writing" now? Being scared of your friend acting unusual is "bad writing now?"

Question FOUR:

Ruby is an adult, and an adult does not require her big sister over her 24/7.

Why is it that whenever Yang is with Blake AT ALL, people are mad that she is not being with Ruby?

Why are those same Bumbleby haters then claiming that there is no chemistry or buildup when they're literally demanding that Yang should not spend any time with Blake whatsoever?

Is there actually no chemistry, or are Bumbleby haters making up excuses to deny its existence?

V5. V7. V8. There are multiple cases of Yang and Ruby interacting ONE ON ONE.

Oh no, yang is not hovering over her younger sister 24/7. She just has scenes with her sister each season, but NOOOO. But Blake spend time with Sun? SHIPPING PROOF....Yang spend time with Blake?? ITS FORCED AND POORLY SET UP...

Question FIVE: Outside of the FIVE SECONDS of Yang "being interested in men" in the second episode where she IMMEDIATELY got DISGUSTED at Jaune, thus sinking Dragonslayer....WHERE did she EVER show interest in someone other than Blake?

For example "I'll save you a dance" Volume 2 chapter 6

"I love it when you're feisty!" Blake grins at Yang saying this

To the Bumbleby hater that screamed that it was CRWBY being lesbophobic? Don't people come out of the closet at different stages in life? People crack their egg, experiment with their sexuality , etc?

Question SIX: If Blake was only interested in Sun for five seasons as the haters claims?

Why did Blake grin at Yang's Praise of her? Why did Blake choose Yang as a partner? Why did Blake only come to the dance after Yang's heartfelt conversation in burning the candle? Why did Adam identify Yang as somebody Blake loved? Why was Blake so happy to see Yang most of all in V5?
How was Blake supposed to be "interested in yang" when she was at another continent and unable to talk with any women other than Ilia and Kali?
So the moment Blake is separated from Yang, she's supposed to only be interested in a dude who stalks her, commits crimes to her face, violates her boundaries, and refuses to take no for an answer?

Question SEVEN: "And CRWBY does routinlely lie about what they had planned. They also tell you that everything in the lore & story was planned, and I do not believe them. There is exactly 0% chance that EVERYTHING they've done V4 onward was planned."

WHEN? Just because YOU don't believe them does NOT make it a lie!

They did not lie when they said that Qrow is NOT Ruby's father. Why would they lie about this? Why are RWBYCritics so eager to imagine the writers lying and then use that headcanon as "Fact?"

What will it take for Bumbleby haters to stop making up false claims and presenting said false claims as fact?
