we’re now in the age of having articles written about bumbleby and how they set the standard going forward for wlw relationships… i could cry we really made it
I am frothing at the mouth thinking of how Blake and Yang are going to interact with each other from here on out. I see them walking hand in hand, Yang swinging their arms and Yang just not being able to stop saying “Girlfriend. You’re my girlfriend! I have a a girlfriend! Blake Belladonna is my girlfriend and she loves me!” And Blake laughs and pulls her in for a cheek kiss and says “Yes, Yang. I love you.” And Weiss makes a gagging sound
Adam Taurus was an inadvertent and *deeply* involuntary ally for three consecutive volumes, yes. I still love his VA's 'only allergic to Blake & Yang's love for each other' tweet.
So I initially made that post for the express purpose of seeing what would happen if I kicked a hornet's nest (not much, sadly), but it actually wasn't 100% a shitpost because Adam genuinely takes Blake and Yang's relationship extremely seriously. Like, yeah, he absolutely hates it, but he never really comments on the fact that Yang is a woman instead of a man. Instead, the core of his opposition to the Bees comes from the fact that he no longer "owns" or controls Blake (because Adam absolutely thinks of relationships in terms of of possession and control. Blake and Yang cannot be equal partners who genuinely love and respect each other, one of them has to be dominant over the other, and in his head it can't be Blake because he's too contemptuous of her and too used to dominating and terrorizing her to consider the possibility) and that Yang has superseded him as both the person who controls Blake and the object of her regard. He identifies Blake's feelings for Yang as early as Volume 3, specifically targets her instead of Sun to hurt Blake, and otherwise treats her as seriously as characters of this nature treat male rivals in other media. He certainly gives Blake and Yang's relationship more credit than the chucklefucks who still insist to this day that both the Bees are straight somehow.
HEAR YEE, HEAR YEE, im late to the party, BUT BOTH ARRYN AND BARBARA POSTED SCREENSHOTS FROM THE BRIDGE SCENE ON THEIR INSTAGRAM, BUMBLEBY KISS CONFIRMED
i still remember being a just-barely-eighteen year old teen, still in high school, watching burning the candle and thinking “if only they would be canon” because i didn’t trust any show to actually have canon queer rep and now flash forward to twenty six and im crying on the bus over the bees being actually canon
I understand that some people are tired of waiting and all, but I don’t think I’ll ever understand people who still think they’re not committing to bumbleby even after the last episode. Blake is all, but flirting loud and proud towards Yang and other characters within the show commented on their relationship saying “there’s more going on” and “about time”. The commitment for them as a ship is 100% there and has been there for a while now and right now they’re building up to Blake and Yang’s big moment. So the moments we’ve been getting aren’t meaningless just because it’s not a kiss or a confession
I have no doubt that Blake and Yang are going to kiss and become a couple during this volume, but it’s going to happen properly and not rushed because of impatience. They need to talk first and figure everything out and it’s still pretty early. The team hasn’t even figured out their situation in the ever after yet and it’s only the second episode
