I see no other reason than to be optimistic. Season 6 was so good from beginning to end and since they are main characters it may just be the build up climax to have them actually fall in love. I’d see that as final season finale material, ala korra.

One can only hope...

Aaawww Whiterose, still crazy for them!

If I'm being optimistic I believe they are trying to give us more interactions between Ruby and Weiss so when it happens people can't go around saying that they are forcing the ship like they are doing with Bumblebee.

I've dropped RWBY for a while now, but I checked out a few places once I heard Bumblebee got some love thrown their way, and oh boy was the backlash intense as fuck. And the thing is I can't even fault most of them for being annoyed. If the writers' writing capabilities are anything like the time I dropped them, I knew instinctively that they probably just dove head first into making them endup together without even properly building them up from previous seasons because they were so busy with their myth arc and making Jaune super important because he's their poster boy (ironic for a show called RWBY).

I've always loved WR but I couldn't stand seeing them being written so poorly (and would probably end up in het ships because reasons) so the show is as good as dead to me.

Probably fed a troll, but I’m tired of people coming out & saying “this isn’t what Monty wanted” in regards to the show.

How do you know?
You weren’t there.
You didn’t even know Monty.

Saying that takes away from how ridiculously hard Kerry & Miles have worked from Day 1.

That’s the thing though, it’s not in different hands, it’s just in one less pair. They made RWBY happen together.

In reality, the majority of the details of the story were always being written by Miles and Kerry while Monty worked on the fight choreography and visuals. Yes, the idea was his to begin with, but the story was built by a team of three people.

I've also seen Barbara Dunkleman, the voice actress for Yang, in interviews give HEAVY hints that the events of the end of Volume 6, with Blake and Yang defeating Adam and confirming their feelings for each other, was something she had known was going to happen for YEARS. She has commented that sometimes people pick up on things because they are being foreshadowed in the writing and that there is a "big book" of RWBY story arcs that was created before Monty died, which has been confirmed by others in the RT family, and that it contains certain things that lead her to be a strong Bumblebee shipper from the start.

As for WhiteRose, there are suggestions that, since the team will be spending the next Volume, at least, in Atlas, that Weiss will be dealing with her demons much the same way that Blake and Yang have been dealing with theirs over the past couple of seasons and that she will need the support of her closest friend more than ever, who IS Ruby, regardless of her tsundere ways. This suggests that there could be development in their relationship on the horizon.

As for the comment about "making Jaune super important" part... um... he's been kind of out of the picture for a good portion of the past season and hasn't been all that important. He's no more important that any of the other members of Team JNR.

This comic, on the other hand, is cute AF!

One thing I'll like to point out is that if Kerry and Miles had wanted Weiss to end up with Jaune or Neptune they would have hinted that during the battle of Heaven when Weiss almost died, while it was Jaune who saved her, there wasn't any moment between them, not even during Vol 6, and Neptune stopped being relevant to Weiss character since Vol3, on the other hand, after her near-death experience Weiss has been closer to Ruby, from how they act in the opening, to the 'thank me later' and other scenes, now that I think about it they are almost always together in vol 6
Maybe I'm just delusional, but one can always dream

puppy!ruby and tsundere!weiss are my favorite version of them I love this ship I'm happy there's new content for them

AAHHHHHH!!! RUBY TOP!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!

Too adorable dying of tenderness
