#RWBY did have planned and got Bumblebee and there's other queer rep in it as well so what's weird is that I keep thinking RVB

I'd also like to add a couple - specifically it'd be catered for upcoming season 19: In the very beginning you can hear Sarge in the background calling for all his troops to meet up outside in like five minutes. The shot is an Animation shot showing Grif and Simmons from a chest down view in their Kevlar suits, before they're suiting up and they're just bickering about some dumb bullshit that leads them into a rock, paper, scissors match. Best two out of three. Hands have no gloves so we see their bare hands and they're wearing rings. This is the only time we see this and it's just never mentioned/referred to again. - - Or, ending shot of S19 is just, everything is said and done... theirs a base or some other place they're at. It's a wide/close in shot. It's sunset. Theirs a ship waiting in the distance with everyone else scrambling around to get on - like they are going home to Earth. Back view as they remove their helmets, can't see faces, but they're staring off towards the ship and the others. Grif's arms around Simmon's waist, Simmon's arm around Grif's should, since he's taller. Dialog: [G]"When we get home, I'm sleeping for a year." [S]"That's physically impossible. You can't do that." [G]"Watch me. After all these years putting up with all this bullshit? The Universe fucking owes me one; and don't try to wake me up! Just let me sleep." [S]"Again, physically impossible. Also, how am I waking you up? Exactly? What, are you expecting me to go to Hawaii?" [G]"Doesn't have to be Hawaii." [S]"Wait. . . What?" [G]"For being the 'Smart One' of the group, you're been pretty fucking stupid right now." [S]"You're the one being cryptic right now, asshole!" [G]"No, you're just being a stubborn dick by making me actually say it." [S]"Well maybe some of us actually need clarification for what it is!" [G]"'Home' is with you, Simmons. My 'home'. . . is with you." [S]" . . . " [G]" . . . " [S]" . . . Does that make things weird?" [G]"Tucker got pregnant and had an Alien baby. A crazy asshole with too much power and government money spent the rest of his life cloning his dead wife multiple times in order to use her to fight a war, along with cloning his brain for the same reason, while also getting his own kid involved in all his own bullshit, which then in turn brought us into said bullshit. Half our career wasn't real, until it was when we got dropped on a planet during a civil war at the ass edge of space which in turn then led to us taking down another corrupted government organization with the help of the crazy asshole's ghost. When, exactly, have our lives not been weird?" [S]". . . . Technically, Church was an AI-" [G]"You are such a fucking Nerd." [S]"You're my home too, Grif."

Funny and CURSED Grimmons ideas-

-They just casually say "We actually started dating a few months ago", and literally do nothing different. They still bicker the exact same way, and the relationship is never brought up again

-They have a Big Dramatic Moment where one or both of them almost die, and a whole confession happens. They either bail in the after-math and try to pretend they didn't mean it, or they finally just lean into it and let it happen

-They stand around on the roof of a base, look at each other, then just shrug and start holding hands. That's it, that was the whole I-Love-You moment

-Everybody gets a little bit drunk and plays Truth or Dare, either Grif or Simmons are just tipsy enough to be honest when asked about their feelings, but not so smashed they don't remember later. No take-backs!

-A genuinely sweet moment where they talk while everybody else is busy, and there is the whole journey they both go on when they realize "Oh, I've known you for most of my life... oh, you've seen me at my worst and still like me... oh, I kind of can't imagine myself without you being right there"

-Somebody else flirts with Grif for exactly 5 seconds, and Jealous Simmons is activated- "Back off, he's mine"

-Simmons gets Grif a life-time supply of Oreos for his birthday or whatever, and Grif just gets down on one knee immediately

-Memory loss shenanigans, in which both of them forget they're supposed to find each other annoying, and they just go kiss for 2 hours. When the memories return and the others ask what Grif and Simmons were up to for so long- "Well, I can tell you what we WEREN'T doing"

-Sarge of all people yells at them to- "JUST DO IT ALREADY!!!"

-After the whole "Meta" issue gets resolved, the AI have fun hanging out with everybody, getting to know their new friends. Sigma is in Simmons' head for 5 minutes, and has to make a PowerPoint presentation on "Why You Might Be Ignoring Your Feelings"

-There is a big event for a wedding, everybody is fussing over Grif and Simmons, asking if they're "ready for the big day", it builds up like they're finally going for it... and then it is revealed to be a wedding for Kai and Donut. Double queer-bait fake-out
