I wanted to jump on the ot3 meme bandwagon but I couldn’t decide between Sun and Ilia…so I did them both. Maybe next time I’ll just draw something with one character. Also there isn’t enough Ilia art out there!
hey fndm! so i was thinking about doing a fandom wide challenge the week leading up to V8. so it would be starting November 1 and would “end” on the 7th (but the last day of the challenge would be on the 6th bc i know we’re all gonna be screaming too loudly for any Rational Thought)
so it’d take the structure of ship challenges, a different challenge/prompt per day – with a couple of differences! one, it doesn’t have to be ship related at all/contained within one specific ship. all ships with the exception incest/pedophila ships are welcome! all characters, major or minor, alive or dead dont worry i’m still hurtin over pyrrha are also welcome!
i was thinking that there would be a different prompt for each day, and the prompts would be generic enough that anyone could participate – something that allows people to write, draw or make theory posts about! whatever way you want to participate to get into that v8 hype!!
lemme know what y’all think, i have some ideas for what the prompts could be for each day already :)
i have been gone for just a little bit and i heard that blake is canonically bi now??
(i used kibbitzer references for the poses)
Part 1
Woaaaah! Just wanted to take this opportunity and thank you guys for 3k followers. I never expected this support and so in gratitude I started another comic series following my love for melodramatic shoujo manga beacon bees. This ones much shorter, I don’t think it should extend more than five parts.
Dabbling in that greekfire dynamic because I’m soft for two heart throbs that would be a pretty wholesome relationship if they weren’t pining over their respective soulmates. Also because Pyrrha. Just Pyrrha.
m a N. i cant WAIT to see where this goes!
Ahh...Ahhh...Ahhh!!!!!
Yang and Sun are both the kind of people who would put their own feelings for Blake aside to support her no matter who she picks as a romantic partner and that’s the tea!

I only trust BS Stan’s that acknowlege the romantic connotations of Bumbleby. I’m happy to see some of you interacting pleasantly with BB fans.
Don’t think I don’t see some of you in my notifications and I’m like “heeell yeah thank you for being respectful ✊”
To be honest
The reason Black Sun was hinted at (because yes, it absolutely *was*) was just to establish Blake as bisexual without giving explicit labels.
So those hints weren’t meaningless.
And some might argue that Taurad*nna would’ve been equally effective for establishing her as bi, but apparently some people don’t think Taurad*nna was a thing?? That Ad*m was just a mentor?? (He clearly wasn’t just a mentor but go off). And also RT probably didn’t want to imply that lesbians are only women who have had traumatic experiences with men, cause I’m sure there’d be people reading Bumbleby as that.
Anyway. Black Sun was necessary and important, even if Bumbleby is (most likely) endgame. And RT is out here giving us the bi representation we deserve.
*ooa

1/2 Hey I don't know if you have seen Eruptionfang's video about Bumblebee but I have question to you now that I saw it. I know people don't like him but I thought that video was not hateful and he explained himself well. But looking at the video and comments people are saying B&Y never got the same narrative development as B&S. And in someway I agree. Like B&S spend a lot of time outside of school together and obviously the two volumes as a whole. And I think we can admit Blake had a crush on

2/2Sun for a while. But I think they ignore the manga where we see B&Y relationship in school. In the animation we don’t see them as much interact like that but the manga makes it clear in my opinion that they have a close relationship and spend time together but it seems like a lot of people think contrary, as they have only seen the animation. But I don’t know seeing those comments made me doubt how much I watched it the way I wanted it. Do you think the narrative was there?
fair warning that this ended up turning into uhhhh…..a long post so welcome to rwby: a bumbleby vs black/sun narrative analysis
so i haven’t watched it, and in regards to it being not hateful, i think you first have to look at the intent behind it. first of all, it’s not his place to discuss this topic whatsoever. this story isn’t being written for him. it’s not being written for men. it doesn’t matter what y’all think about it, quite frankly, because it’s not for or about you: it’s about us, people who have never in history seen the kind of representation rwby is giving us with blake and yang. that’s something anyone who wants to “have an honest opinion about bumbleby” should think about. he didn’t. he ignored that, ignored the tons of wlw who love this portrayal and relationship. that tells me really everything i need to know about him as a person. the intent of his video is to bring people around to “his side” of things, his perspective, here’s why bumbleby was done wrong, b/s was done right, etc whatever. the intent behind him creating and posting this video is hateful. let’s be very clear about that.
the problem with people trying to claim that bumbleby came out of nowhere or that black/sun had a ton of now-pointless development is that their claims are almost always viewed through a heteronormative lens. they look at blake and sun on-screen together and they think it’s development. they think blake being visibly annoyed with sun for the entirety of volume 4 is romantic. they think his total lack of understanding her character but pushing her boundaries anyway is romantic. they think blake owes him her own feelings in return for his, just because he feels them. they think that because it’s a narrative that’s been popularized by media for literally…well…ever.
from a wlw perspective, for those of us who ship bumbleby, did not read sun and blake’s relationship as “development” in a romantic direction. i’ve always said that sun was a red herring. he appears - another faunus - at a time blake is desperately looking for someone to understand her. except he can’t! sun had a great life, so it seems! he thinks the white fang are nuts! he has nothing to do with any of the hardships blake has faced throughout her entire life. sun never understands her and he doesn’t, at any point, relate or empathize with her. he moves on very easily with his life after the incident with the white fang and torchwick. he tries to ask blake to the dance. she says the one line that lets us, the audience, know what she’d hoped from sun and wasn’t receiving: “i thought you of all people would understand that.” he doesn’t understand. but an episode or so later, someone does understand blake, and that person is yang.
