I was just curious, is it possible that the LGBT+ representation in RWBY won't even come from the main cast, like maybe the two badass professors from season 3 finale are in a relationship? or maybe just 2 huntresses Ruby met during her travels?
@rhymemaster-inc and I once speculated that Coco and Velvet would make good candidates since the fans love them but they’re not really plot-relevant.
Copy-pasting from the skype convo since I’m lazy:
[12/29/2015 10:07:24 PM] Takashi0: You know what would be better than Velvet confessing to Coco tho?[12/29/2015 10:07:28 PM] Takashi0: Coco confessing to Velvet[12/29/2015 10:07:35 PM] Takashi0: Coco is much like Wendy from GF[12/29/2015 10:07:55 PM] Takashi0: She merely LOOKS calm and cool on the surface[12/29/2015 10:08:03 PM] Takashi0: But beneath it she's a nervous wreck[12/29/2015 10:08:12 PM] Takashi0: And a complete goober with no romantic experience[12/29/2015 10:08:17 PM] Rhymemaster: AWWW[12/29/2015 10:08:20 PM] Takashi0: So she needs Ruby & Yang's help confessing[12/29/2015 10:08:47 PM] Rhymemaster: AWWWWWW[12/29/2015 10:09:23 PM] Takashi0: So after completing [Sweeping romantic gesture], Velvet starts crying because it's the nice thing anyone's ever done for her[12/29/2015 10:09:42 PM] Takashi0: ...And then starts crying more because she thinks she's "a coward" for not confessing first[12/29/2015 10:10:16 PM] Takashi0: And Coco has to calm her down and say that fear of rejection (and being afraid that the person you're attracted to isn't attracted to you) is very normal[12/29/2015 10:11:55 PM] Rhymemaster: THIS IS SO CUTE[12/29/2015 10:26:11 PM] Takashi0: Yatsuhashi: hahaha I'm so happy for you guys!

And it just got darker from there, but that’s not important.
