Quote from @SwampAdvice on Twitter (written by frequent collaborator on The CryptoNaturalist Podcast Leslie J Anderson).

Here is a secret about things you love. If you put them down you can always pick them back up again. You can always paint again, sew again, hike again, play music again, read that book again, watch the movie. “But it’s been so long.” The thing you love doesn’t care.

Ok everyone time for the big question:

Lol, these are somehow funnier than the final version

i love that the entity that sits at the font of creation in RWBY’s cosmology is a counselor that treats all who come their way with warmth, empathy and understanding

kindness is literally at the core of RWBY’s universe

Jealousy is not why Ruby snapped at Blake and Yang's new relationship. It is pretty obvious that she took advantage of the most obvious source of happiness for her sister and teammate to just...lash out because Ruby is not happy. Simple as that. Ruby is depressed, sad, and traumatized, but her team still relies emotionally on her and she's tired of it! She's tired of trading her own happiness for everyone else's and still get blamed for all the choices she makes while trying to make everyone happy. Ruby doesn't feel neglected and she isn't jealous, she is just tired of others being happy because of her efforts while she, herself, has no time to cure her own soul nor mourn or process everything that keeps happening to her. Ruby is, for once, being egoistic and she's right. That doesn't make Jaune or her teammates wrong though! Jaune has his own issues and pent up thoughts after all this time, Weiss is not in the wrong for looking up to Ruby as her leader (she promised to do so all that time ago) and sure as hell Blake and Yang are not in the wrong for finding love! (no one, ever, is in the wrong for desiring their own happiness, just like Ruby!) I promise you, Ruby knows! But her state of mind doesn't allow her to process all these thoughts and ultimately the only thing that comes out is the anger, the frustration and the spite of bearing a burden that is too big for her. Oh Ruby.

I think that with the kiss Bumbleby has become one of the best queer relationships in modern media like. Ever.

We never get slow burns for queer romance, is the thing. Very often the couples get together suddenly, or else at the very end of the show. And that’s no fault of the creators of those characters — generally what happens is just that they can’t make the relationship explicit without risk of cancellation and accordingly will keep it in the background or as subtext until the very end of the series.

Yang and Blake, though?

They’ve had nine seasons where their relationship was significant. Little moments that built up. Blake choosing Yang as her partner at Beacon, Yang defending Blake to Weiss when they learned about the hidden identity, everything that happens in Burning the Candle, everything that happens with Adam in Volumes 3 and 6 where he is textually being Blake’s jealous ex, and then all the flirting it Atlas and again in the Ever After.

Point is, it’s been a long time coming. We really felt confident Bumbleby would be canon. But they didn’t just end up being canon — they became canon at a midway point in the series where we’ll still have time to watch their relationship develop and grow. They had the healthiest confession of any romantic couple in the series - where others were moments of haste and tragedy, the universe bent over backward to make the Bees confess. They said I love you and had the tenderest most beautiful kiss imaginable.

It already feels like a victory, and there’s so much left to look forward to.
