@Black Sun Nocturne I'd expect a shot of Blake's shock instead then, but Blake's responses simply focused on how she disagreed with his methods. I entirely think their relationship was at least to some degree mutual in the past (obviously not the exact same degree...).

[up]I can imagine Blake having a crush on him, consider how he looks: a guy in suit with a badass sword and mask, leader of a organization ready to strike corrupt goverment and bring right to the fanus(becuase they think they are peopleevil grin) that could impress a young blake.

Well, we can certainly be glad she isn't Stockholm Syndroming it.

In any case, it looks like the Tauradonna shippers just got their ship sunk.

Well... maybe not

I was never a Blake x Adam/Tauradonna/Stockholm Syndrome shipper. I tend to be "Bumblebee" or "Monochrome" for Blake ships.

I think the "Bumbleby" version of the name came from combining "Bumble" with the first initials of "Blake" and "Yang".

Arkos will never die!

Or at least for now. I mean, they had us pretty worried for a while there, so I'd now wouldn't assume it's totally out of the picture...

[up] Watch them pull a Legend Of Korra first-season and abruptly sink Arkos and switch to Ruby x Jaune at the last minute. I doubt that's going to happen, especially since I suspect Ruby is asexual, but I wouldn't rule it out.

Well... maybe not

I think it has been sunk. He mocked her beliefs and put himself in a position of power over her, which he then abused. He stabbed her and then maimed her best friend/romantic interest. He went full on into Why Did You Make Me Hit You? territory before trying to decapitate her.

That doesn't scream Foe Yay, that screams 'actually dangerous yandere ex that you should get away from ASAP'. Whether they were actually a thing before or not doesn't matter anymore. True Foe Yay ideally happens between mostly-equal adversaries who can respect or understand one another. When one party goes overboard and actually permanently hurts the other, that's not Foe Yay, that's practically abuse.

-sigh-

You know, as soon as I saw people shipping Blake/Wukong I had a feeling it was going to be called "Black Sun". Annoying for me, since I've been using the "Black Sun" nametag for years [lol]

At least I'm getting my fill of yandere.
And it's the incredibly rare male example to boot [lol]

I think the "Bumbleby" version of the name came from combining "Bumble" with the first initials of "Blake" and "Yang".
That makes.... a lot of sense actually.

[up]I'd like to point at everyone's love of the worst dere as a a way of refuting that argument. Yes, it is a horrible thing and incredibly abusive. If people were always so disgusted by it however, the Yandere trope wouldn't be so common (and those characters are often the Ensemble Darkhorses to boot >.>)

Black Sun is best ship.

Eh. I'm inclined to disagree personally... Sun and especially Neptune come across as the sort of characters that Monty and Co. originally only designed to be "Team RWBY's boyfriends" and nothing actually substantial.

However, to insult another person's ship is akin to insulting someone's mother. So feel free to ship what you like, buddy!

Well, I'd expect there'll be weirdos that'll keep on it with some thoroughly illogical rationalizations that imply a very poor sense of morality, but yeah, anyone who's not a weirdo in that manner will drop it.

I want to see Ozpin do ANYTHING other than sip coffee and push buttons and walk around. Velvet KILLED it this episode and I can't believe how flawlessly she pulled off those moves.

Also, I have to hand it to Yang. She really tried to help her friend.

I'll see myself out.

You can't get it wrong if it's the truth!

The Black Sun is also a powerful symbol used in occultism. The Nazis even put it in a castle's floor because they believed it had mysical powers. [lol]

@TheAirman: I mean, so is Port/anyone and I've seen legit ships of it, and not Crack Ships either.

Also: I feel that AdamXRoman is an amusing one.

Yay, kebab has been removed from the premises!

As to shipping and stuff, I don't really have feelings for any pairing in particular, and when I do ship, it's mostly for the lulz. SunXNeptune is good pairing tho, maybe CardinXJaune too. They would make good couple together.

Now that new episode is out, might consider AdamXBlake too.

Fuck it, doing another. Episode 5. Skipping the Grim Eclipse plug and intro, of course.

And right off the bat Penny's just annihilating two poor, unlucky members of Team CRDL while her minder watches. Ouch. Ruby still can't take a hit, she should probably get around that if she wants to kick proper amounts of ass later. Penny's minder does not think Penny should be socializing. I dunno what to think of her. Weiss takes an insult, Ruby's arm joints need some tuning, silly stuff all around. Penny wants to stay at Beacon for as-of-yet-indeterminate reasons and this will probably be plot-relevant? She leaves, next fight starts.

Okay, Weiss and Yang. That's, uh, one of the last teamups I would've expected, but I guess tank+caster would be a solid strategic choice. Other team is... weird. Trumpet guy has some clunky exposition, I'm not entirely certain where he was hoping to get with that. Rainbow girl is a textbook case of HEY LOOK I'M AN ASSHOLE NOTICE ME. Also, boob joke. I am disappointed in the writers. I was hoping this series was above that kind of shit. Fight starts, trumpet guy calls down THE BRASS, and then things switch into 1v1 mode. Not sure what to make of the music. Framerate's wonky. Not much to say about Yang vs rainbow girl, whereas Weiss vs trumpet guy is silly in a good way, what with the unnecessary spinning and pulsing glyphs and SO MUCH JAZZ. Not sure what they were thinking with the suicide tackle. Kinda came out of nowhere, didn't make much sense, and nobody in their right mind would've bought it for a minute. Fight just got kinda meh after that, with the exception of trumpet guy's takedown. I have no clue what the hell happened with rainbow girl biting it.

So, that fight took way too damn long. Weiss's coughing is terribly forced, the rest of the team running up seemed like little more than an afterthought, and rainbow girl confuses me even more now. I still have trouble taking Cinder's attempts at being ominous seriously. More cryptic comments from Ozpin and Qrow, and Pyrrha's being singled out for something that I'm probably gonna find stupid. Episode over, blah blah blah. Highlights: trumpet guy. Meh: most of the things that weren't trumpet guy.

but HOW?
