Bumbleby was planned from the concept art/early writing stages already (just look at early designs, Blake & Yang were always meant complement each other visually).

Their original Emerald Forest encounter was already flirty & playful and was most probably changed in order to give them more time to show the audience this gradually growing attraction/romance.

They also balance each other out both emotionally and in combat. Blake is a calculating and a "bigger picture" girl, whilst Yang is brash and a "here and now" type. Blake is a stealthy, more long range fighter, Yang is jumping straight in the middle of a fight with a short range fighting style. It's a Yin&Yang pairing.

There are so many diect parallels between Blake's last romantic partner and Yang (as well as Arkos & Renora), but it's also shown how even if there are similarities, those qualities - if utilised well - can be lovable. Passion does not have to consume everything in its way, it can build. Hot-headedness does not have to destroy, it can teach you how to slow down & grow. Everything Blake missed in Adam was there tenfold in Yang. She never pushed her, only showed that she's there & she's safe if Blake needed her.

It was never a question they would end up together. The only question was when.

In Ruby's trailer, she's surrounded by white and (since it's her Beacon Era outfit) is wearing red over black

In Weiss's trailer, she's surrounded by black and (same reason as for Ruby) is wearing white over red

And her fights are very funny.

At one point a cop on super drugs is tearing through the station, ripping people apart with his bare hands, handgun bullets bouncing off him, very scary. Pretty tense. None of the people there are the kind of superhuman killers that can effectively deal with such a thing.

Then Urara shows up

Pulls the dude through a sheet metal door and snaps his neck.

And looks extremely pleased about it.

"MURCIÉLAGO" TV Anime adaptation officially announced

Air Date: 2027

Production: Satelight × Staple Entertainment

Volume 10 has moved on from "it exists" to "it is currently being made"

Bc so many ppl focus on the idea of telling A Trusted Adult, but even a well-meaning individual can fuck up and let abuse fall through the cracks or not know what to do

Whereas if a child tells LOADS of adults AND other kids, there's far less opportunity for an abuser to do damage control

Consistently telling their story and spreading it around disempowers the abuser to control and coerce the flow of information, or to utilise gaps and weaknesses in systems of reporting or welfare to isolate the child
