Not everything that can be considered a vague criticism of your precious fucking ship is related to a damn ship war.
Talking about the Bees
Over the years bmblb has given me a mix of emotions that were difficult to explain but I’ve gotten a pretty good handle on them now and I’m kinda just putting them out into the air. Bmblb is a really cute ship; Blake and Yang are aesthetically pleasing together and fans come up with really interesting things for them. Outside of that however, it is a bit of a challenge to enjoy this ship and it comes down two things really.
The first thing is really easy to explain. It suffers from what most ships in shows have where there’s plenty of pairings; it’s gotten so big that it’s constantly louder than most ships. This problem really can’t be fixed all that much unfortunately. For those who don’t get what I’m saying I’ll explain. When I watch RWBY and Blake and Yang do anything together, I instantly know social media is gonna be flooded with it. The fans are all gonna post similar things regarding that clip that everything else about that episode practically gets drowned out. I remember in V5 where countless of people were talking about how Yang was gonna react to Blake in the final episode and not about how she was gonna confront her mother. What makes it seem louder is even during a hiatus there’s no real slow down. Someone can make a post saying “Bees killedAdam” today and it most likely trend higher than an extremely well drawn picture of Oscar. No other ship does this. When major things happen to big ships like White Rose and Renora people eat up for a couple of weeks then move on; they don’t even flood the hashtags really. It’s only Bmblb that has this constant high 24/7 because of the sheer size and energy of the shippers; that’s why it’s super easy to upset the hive; not to mention the Wasps.
The second thing is a bit more controversial but these are my opinions and obviously no one is obligated to agree with me. Bmblb to me does not seemed earned. Like I said, they look cute together but their relationship is really hollow and leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. It’s like Rooster Teeth made all the plot points but never connected them; some have dashed lines but that’s it. Yang in vol5 was so touchy over the subject of Blake that she lashed out momentarily at Weiss and Ruby. Even after talking about it with Weiss, a lot of pent of emotions were still there and could only be resolved by confronting Blake with them. At the end of the volume I held out hope that her saying they were fine was just because it was the end of the volume. Then we got to V6
It starts of good with their being this awkwardness between them; things aren’t normal yet and that’s good. Next major thing is the barn scene and that’s where the ball drops. Yang getting upset at Blake for her comment about being protected should’ve been the flood gate for a well of deeper problems. Yang should’ve ripped into her about all the pain she’s caused her since V3. Blake didn’t believe Yang during the tournament incident, then she left without a word, now she’s back by coincidence and talking about standing by people when they need help. That aggression she showed Ruby and Weiss should’ve been in full force here while Blake tried defending herself and also getting a angry instead of Yang just leaving; then having her help only Blake a few scenes later. I mean Yang has a golden opportunity to talk about her abandonment issues here.
That argument could’ve caused the both of them to not speak to each other and only be hurt up until the airship mission. Instead of a cute scene of Blake telling Yang how bad stealth she is, replace it with Blake trying to apologize again and clear the air as Yang only listens because as much as she wants to forgive her, she’s genuinely hurt so Blake goes to do her part of the mission without an answer. Then Adam shows up and Yang rushes into action like in the show. Both of them are forced to get their shit together and face the vital reason they are in this emotional situation. The scene plays out as normal about them protecting each other and we have them both break down and crying after they beat him too. They’re both apologizing for everything that’s happened and Yang tells her how much Blake means to her. Now these awkward and cute scenes in V7 feel earned between them and not bait because they have a complete arc.
We know Rooster Teeth can pull this off because they’ve made a complete arc before. Blake met Sun and he started as a stranger she’s into and would help her with or without permission. She likes it until it becomes a problem in V4 where she actively tries shuts him out of her life and is upset that he’s around to the point she hits him. Sun however continues to push the boundaries. This comes to a head where she gets really upset after he could’ve died. Both of them end up having a serious conversation where they air out all of their emotional stress. Then we spend V5 with Blake actively including him and giving him information about her life willing to the point she tells him about Ilia’s past and let’s him know she’s going to meet her.
This payoff keeps happening from that point forward where they have each other’s back and supporting one other until the end of the volume. The two of them confident that they don’t even have to constantly be around each other and that they can handle things separately. Then the arc closes in the beginning of V6. Blake went from hitting Sun and not wanting him around to being sad that he’s leaving her and kisses him on the cheek. Sun isn’t worried about her and trying to stick with her. He knows Blake is where she needs to be and doesn’t pressure her to figure everything out so fast; he respects her boundaries. They had a complete arc.
This is why Bmblb and BlackSun are so aggressive. More fans love Bmblb and they are drowning in evidence that their ship will be canon, BlackSun feels more complete. Their relationship has matured more naturally; the dots connect. There’s just not as many dots at this point. I’m not picking sides or anything because at this point o think Blake should be single and focus on who she is as a person for awhile, which would do Yang’s character some good. Yang has not initiated any meaningful conversation or action with anyone except Blake and her mom. Weiss just happened to be kidnapped by Raven and she also made Yang open up after her lash out. Yang barely talks to Ruby and outside of V1 and their hug in V5 there hasn’t been a real heart to heart with them, but she’s talked with, or about Blake plenty with varying emotions. Jaune is consistent with his feelings. Pyrrha makes him sad and any serious conversation holds a wait of him struggling to press on and slowly getting better because almost everyone has talked to him to help progress his character. Yang is trapped in a bubble talking to Blake and Blake is only allowed to really talk to Weiss if it’s about racism.
I know it’s a bit of tangent but Rooster Teeth is kinda letting this problem bleed over into other characters; especially when it comes to making plot points with no lines. Perfect example we got this volume. Ruby has been in the mindset that she failed to save Penny for like a year and felt crushed about her friends death, yet did not sob uncontrollably learning that her friend was alive. But she cried when she saw her sister, a person she left at home who wasn’t talking to her. If Pyrrha came back you could bet everything that Jaune would be on the floor in tears because it would be weird of he didn’t do that for someone he mourned over. It’s almost like if it’s not shipping related then RT doesn’t care that much but they obviously love Bmblb, yet it’s skeleton of what it should be by now!
That kinda wraps up the basis of my feelings towards the Bees. I really do think this ship is nice but it’s just so lack luster for the amount of people who love it way more than me and for RT to try and sell people on it. I don’t like comparing shows but for anyone who’s heard of The Dragon Prince, season 3 is nine episodes yet the evolution of two characters relationships feels way more natural; also it wasn’t planned from the beginning of the show. If they can do it, Rooster Teeth can too. I say this because I care and want to see the show improve. Like besides Adam, what do Yang and Blake have to talk about? Yang never is in the above faunus oppression. Anytime Blake gets racism thrown her way it’s Weiss that deals with it. Blake and Yang killed the lifeblood their ship was riding on way too long.
Kinda annoyed with Weiss and Winter completely ignoring their brother and only caring about each other even though he’s in the same situation.
They're going all in on yang being another of Blake's orbiters. Shame, I really liked Yang.
I’m glad for the Blake and Yang team up this episode for the fighting, however, Marrow does have a point.
With team RWBY and JNR, they’re always in pairs. And always in the same ones. Ruby and Weiss, Blake and Yang, Ren and Nora, and then Jaune as their third since he doesn’t have someone to specifically work with.
With the ace ops, while they don’t operate like family or friends, they do operate better on a tactical level. They can likely swap out any of their members for another and still work perfectly fine together and still keep the same sync. Team RWBY especially may have trouble if Yang and Ruby have to pair up, or Ruby and Blake, or Blake and Weiss because while they’re always together and are friends, their fighting styles and ability to adapt to change isn’t on the same level as the Ace-ops.
Clover and Marrow, Marrow and Harriet, Elm and Clover, etc. the ace ops can probably work in any combination of pairing because for them, it’s a necessity. With team RWBY, their bonds and almost strict partnerships could be the very thing that causes them to falter in areas that the ace-ops don’t.
I know right! It’s not like Rwby has SPECIFIC TEAM ATTACK STRATEGIES with THEIR OWN CODENAMES that are DESIGNED to have different pairings and variations of the Rwby girls in mind and make them work in combat.
It’s not like this was established ALL THE WAY BACK IN VOLUME TWO or anything-
Didn’t Blake and Weiss take down those centipede Grimm together and compliment each other’s fighting styles TWO EPISODES ago??
Didn’t Ruby and Yang team up to fight Grimm together IN THE VERY NEXT FUCKING SCENE.
Like I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here buddy but all you had to do was pay attention to the show for TWO MORE MINUTES to have your point proven wrong. Basic narrative comprehension made it pretty clear that Marrow’s statement was clearly in the wrong.
It’s not like Marrow is the newest and youngest recruit of the Ace Ops and doesn’t even really have the right to criticize other huntresses right?
Oh wait-
My dude all I said is that Marrow had a point that they should work with others. And yeah they have codenames and shit but they rarely use them.
doing it once in a while doesn’t make up for the fact that it is almost always the same pairs.
Given that Harriet quickly shot down Ruby’s idea of the ace-ops being any more than co-workers, Marrow suggesting Blake and Yang work together, and Qrow mentioning Ruby trusts people other than herself (and some of the parallels between what Ruby is doing and what Ozpin has done), it’s likely that their almost glue-like teamwork and faith in each other could be each other’s downfall or otherwise cause issues.
Just because he’s young and new doesn’t mean that he can’t make a suggestion.
My apologies for sounding too harsh on Marrow, perhaps I should further explain:
Marrow is the ONLY member of the Ace Ops that has been shown to be wrong about things prior to this episode, and the framing of the scene in his suggestion made it pretty clear that he wasn’t in the right. Even when he doesn’t admit that his critique was wrong, his face indicates that he knew he was wrong.
Something that’s also been clearly established in Rwby is that screentime doesn’t equate to actual time progression in the show. Ruby and Yang shared a few seconds fighting a Grimm in a montage but in the actual progression of time Ruby and Yang’s Grimm hunt approximately took the same amount of time as Blake and Yang’s Grimm hunt.
Blake and Yang have had a good deal of *screentime* together in the last two episodes, I’ll give you that (though I think “almost always” is an exaggeration). I don’t think we have yet to reach a point where it’s a legitimate issue with our characters, especially since the show seems to be dropping hints that this *isn’t* an issue.
If anything I find it a little strange that people are seeing extra Blake and Yang screentime as problematic when Ren and Nora have almost exclusively only shared scenes together for like- the entire show?
Or it could be that he saw they didn’t want to take his suggestion, and just kinda went eh whatever. Plus, he is also the only nice one so to say in terms of actually getting to be on friendly terms with the group. While the others are respectful and help them train, etc. it’s clear they are not interested in becoming friends. He wasn’t saying that they had bad teamwork, but that it may benefit them to still work with other people. The other Ace Ops may not be around to see it or be interested in giving them that level of advice.
Plus, when you factor in the fact that Harriet quickly shot down the idea of them being friends, the parallels between Ruby and Ozpin, the fact that Yang still hasn’t told anyone her mother is the spring maiden, etc. the fact that they are “exclusive” pairs so to say could prove to be their downfall or cause them to have issues that the ace ops don’t.
I know that screentime doesn’t equate to actual time progression, however, in that similar sense it also means that proportionally, the time that Ruby and Yang spend fighting together as a team is significantly shorter than the time that Ruby and Weiss do as well as Yang and Blake. Even though a grim hunt can take the same amount of time, overall, they do not do it as frequently.
And pairing up to take down Grimm is largely different than if they need to pair up to take down stronger or smarter enemies, or possibly even Grimm that are smart enough to think beyond their instincts. The fact that they won’t have that same level of synergy needed to take down an enemy that is stronger than a more typical grimm, could prove to be detrimental to them overall.
Just like how always using crescent rose (while integral to Ruby’s fighting style) was a detriment to Ruby when she found herself without Cresent Rose. Always or almost always fighting in the same pairs could prove to be detrimental to them. Yeah, they can go in different pairs for a short fight or to take down a Grimm, but what if the fight actually requires more extensive work than that? Being official hunters, they’re heading into increasingly dangerous territory and situations as shown by the fact that the truck carrying the Amity Tower material was blocked off and nearly attacked… not by Grimm, but by people. While they are not necessarily bandits per se, it really wasn’t much of a different situation than had they been bandits.
And if you noticed… I listed Ren and Nora as one of those “almost always” pairings. The reason Ren and Nora haven’t been so much of an issue as Yang and Blake is that typically we do see Ren, Nora and Jaune interacting with each other, or in this episode, Ren, Nora, and Jaune interacting with team FNKI. Ren and Nora exclusive interactions are almost always short or in the background, plus, those two are side characters.
With Yang and Blake, the issue isn’t so much as “extra” screentime, but the lack of screentime they have with other people. It has nothing to do with being “problematic” or anything (unless you want to argue Yang and Blake potentially becoming co-dependent upon one another which isn’t healthy for either of the issues they respectively have), but the lack of screen time and interactions with other people… as main characters. Being that Blake and Yang are main characters, you see them significantly more on-screen than you do Ren and Nora.
In this season, we’ve seen meaningful interaction between Ruby and Qrow, Ruby and Penny, Winter and Weiss, Qrow and Clover, etc. but interactions between Yang and Blake have almost exclusively been with each other. It isn’t so much as problematic but the fact that their stories almost exclusively revolve around each other (at least as far as recent volumes) while they are main characters. Ren and Nora have the “perk” of being diluted (so to say) by Jaune.
However, Blake and Yang don’t really have that, it’s almost always exclusively them and only them. People even mention it’s an issue with Ren and Nora, but the reason it isn’t brought up as much is that Ren and Nora are background characters… so a lot of their characterization and interactions are out of focus anyway from a meta-perspective.
I’m glad for the Blake and Yang team up this episode for the fighting, however, Marrow does have a point.

It’s both an interactions and combat style issue. We’ve had predominantly Blake and Yang interactions, with them having very little outside interactions and same for their combat. You bring up Ruby and Yang in the next scene, but... we only see the beginning. How do they work together? They’re siblings and yet if I didn’t already know that, I would never be able to guess. And with Renora, it’s not much of an issue because we have seen them work with others past V3. Nora and Ruby have worked together. We also saw Ren coordinate with Weiss at the beginning. Nora also used Jaune’s help to propel herself forward. We saw Ruby and Qrow last volume. And while, yes, we see Blake and Weiss work together, it’s honestly the first time since V3. And with actual interactions, Ruby has something with Penny and Harriet. Qrow with Ironwood and Clover. Weiss with her blood family. Jaune with Marrow. Ren and Nora also have Jaune so it’s not just exclusively them. Though they do need to branch out to others besides Jaune.
Basically it’s definitely a bit of an issue with a few other characters but it’s a glaring issue with Blake and Yang. I would have no issue if they were shown to to have existence outside of eachother (besides 5 second scenes with other characters), like the other characters do.
Hey writers, just because you lampshade that Yang and Blake only seem to pair up with each other doesn’t magically fix the problem that Yang and Blake almost always only pair up with each other. Same problem with Ruby and Weiss.
If team RWBY is meant to be that, a team, then all the girls should be pairing up with all the other girls interchangeably during fights. It shouldn’t just be Yang + Blake, Ruby + Weiss, and then all of them together. Weiss should be able to fight alongside Yang, Blake should be able to fight alongside Ruby, and yet there’s little to nothing that implies that. Outside of the two big ‘shipping’ pairs, they don’t have a lot of one-on-one interaction.
The only examples I can think of off the top of my head that aren’t Yang + Blake and Ruby + Weiss are:
The incredibly brief team strategies that showed up in Volume 2 against the mech Torchwick was piloting. These team strategies were almost immediately forgotten afterwards, except for the brief mention in Volume 5 that we didn’t even get to see.
Yang and Weiss during the Vytal Festival, which almost immediately broke down into one-on-one fighting with the other team instead of any reliable strategies between the characters.
Yang and Weiss sort of working together in the Bandit Camp, but that didn’t really amount to much.
Yang and Ruby technically fighting together during the Battle for Haven, but I think we cut away from that almost immediately.
And then, immediately after Blake shows up, we go back to the original pairs.
This isn’t even a shipping thing, this is just a problem with the writers doing character dynamics that aren’t focused around the two most popular pairs. In a team of four, all four should be able to work together, not just square off into their neat little partners and call it a day. There’s almost no evidence that Ruby and Blake have ever had a conversation between each other that’s only between the two of them (again, from my memory, but still)
I’m glad for the Blake and Yang team up this episode for the fighting, however, Marrow does have a point.

RT just doesn’t know how to fix it’s problems. Back in V2, they had different combat names. FreezerBurn, CheckMate, LadyBug, Bumbleby, Ice Flower, so they can work together. However in V6, they did have pairs. It was just Pairs RW + BY & not Team RWBY.
We said we wanted them to be teams instead of just pairs like before, but they seem to have forgotten that they used to be a team & decided to add some stupid diolodge that they need to learn how to work with different members or their team or whatever. Honestly that’s just so stupid.
Yes, this! We know they can work well together but instead we get B//B pandering. It’s not quite so bad with Ruby and Weiss because we’ve seen Ruby work with Qrow and Nora and Weiss work with Ren. But we’ve also yet to see Ruby and Yang, SISTERS, work together except for two five second scenes. It’s just annoying
