#probably half of the reason the judges didn't disqualify them

[nelkcats]

Not a Dog!

A competition was set up to award the best dog between Gotham and Amity Park, probably because the judges were quite aware that the two cities were a little crazy and decided to unite their competitions.

Damian bragged that he shouldn't be participating since obviously Titus would beat everyone. Jason snorted and commented that Dog was much better than Titus and would win the competition easily, the rest of the siblings walked away from the discussion, but Dick felt left out and called his friend.

Beast Boy, better known as "Gar" wasn't too happy about Dick using his favor to make him pretend to be a dog in a pet contest, but he agreed. Dick signed him up as his own pet while Jason and Damian complained about how silly the idea was.

When Gotham competitors list was released on Amity, Danny noticed that one contestant had a green dog and smiled. He could compete with Cujo! His father told him something about wanting to compete too but the halfa denied and said that he needed a dog for that.

On the day of the competition the judges tried not to flinch at the two obviously green dogs and a contestant who had decided to enter with a peculiar type of dog, they decided to judge them as best as possible. A rivalry ensued between all the contestants while Danny tried to avoid looking at his father's eyes, why was he participating with a fridge?

To everyone's surprise, none of the dogs won. The winner was Jack Fenton, with his very alive and aggressive sausages. The judges couldn't disqualify him because "hot dog" was technically a type of "dog" even if they didn't know how it was possible, and Jack taught the hot dogs a few tricks.

Alright, time for the post that no one asked for! Which ship had more development between Bmblby and Blacksun!

Gonna preface a few things first: I dont particularly ship either ship, so I'm going to do this with as little bias as possible.

This is only over the first 3 volumes, so anything after the fall of Beacon isnt taken into consideration right now.

And the rules are as follows:

First, winking will not be considered. Since people keep saying a wink isnt inherently confirming of a relationship, I'll ignore any winks and judge the scenes based on the content.

Second, scenes will be judged by whether or not you could replace any character and still get the same effect. (the more you can replace, the better in my opinion)

And lastly, since I keep seeing this coming up as well, the only evidence I will consider for absolute confirmation is of any sort of kiss in the first 3 volumes. Although, its going to feel a bit rushed and out of nowhere since the first 3 volumes takes place over 4-6 months at best.

Without further ado... everything will be under the cut.

Starting with Vol 1, after re-watching, there really wasn't any build up to either ship. Which, doesnt surprise me considering that Sun doesnt show up until the end of Vol 1 and the entirety of that volume is centered around introducing the characters, the world in which they live, and just general ideas on what it's like being a huntsman academy. But there are still a few scenes to note in vol 1:

Initiation: Its a quick blur, but you can see Blake rush across the screen once we see Yang walking through the forest. At that point, its safe to assume that Blake had already made her choice on who she wanted, which is further implemented with Blake helping Yang out with an Ursa.

Its safe to assume that between talking with Ruby the night before and seeing hearing how what she thought of Yang didn't quite match her thoughts.

Our next scene comes to Sun and his infamous "slow-mo wink introduction." As per the rules, I'm ignoring the wink and going straight off the content of the scene itself. Which, doesnt leave much. We know he pinpoints Blake as a faunus very quickly and he has some sort of infatuation with her, but the scene alone doesnt give us much.

However, that one does lead into the end of the Vol: Blake runs off from her friends and takes her bow off to finally show us her ears. At which point, Sun comments that he knew she'd look better without it. So that already shows that 1) Sun definitely pinpointed Blake being a faunus early on, and 2) he wanted to talk to her and this provided the right opportunity. Or... so he thought. Especially since the next scene opens up with him half complaining that they've spent 2 days together and all she's done is make small talk.

Which is all pretty on par for Blake. She then spends the next bit talking about her past, how she was pretty much born into the White Fang, stayed with it after it went from peaceful protests to more anger filled, until leaving Adam just a few months ago. After all of this, Sun asks if she's told her friends, to which we can assume she answers no to, you know, since she ran. Overall, it ends up leading Sun into going a bit gung-ho about helping Blake with the White fang.

Overall, Vol 1 did well to start putting together dynamics between Blake and her friends. Sun and Yang both make different impressions on Blake, both of which she ends up seeing as friends... for now.

Vol 2, is a bit of a strange one. Our first introduction to Beacon is Sun basically telling Neptune how cool team RWBY is, emphasizing a bit on Blake. Which does end up bringing us to the meat of the first half of vol 2: Blake worrying over the White Fang. Now, because of this, we dont see any build up between Blake and Sun or Blake and Yang while they go around town to figure out what the White Fang and Torchwick are up to. Sun makes a good point that Blake shouldnt go to the rally alone, and the two pair off while Yang goes to the club with Neptune.

Once the dance arc comes along, that's where things take an interesting turn. Sun immediately asks a sleep deprived Blake to the dance, in probably the most awkward way since he's trying to say the dance is lame, but would be less lame if the two of them went together.

Sun definitely cares about Blake and actively tried to help her calm down a bit. Which, ultimately, she never says no, just that she doesnt have time for a dance. So, I give this one a +1 in points for build up.

Then, we get to the burning the candle speech. Which, a lot of people seem to write off as either pointless or not build up. Personally, it gets a +1 in points on build up for me on this. First, Yang is absolutely worried about her partner, seeing her go down the same path she did when she was much younger. She immediately starts by telling Blake that she doesnt want her to stop, just to slow down and take a breather. And she ultimately makes a strong point: slowing down isnt a luxury, its a necessity.

This also end s up being the first time we see Yang open up and drop the party girl demeanor that she's had. She talks about her mother, someone that she doesnt talk to many people about, and just how much it hurt her to find out that Raven left shortly after she was born.

After an emotionally charged discussion, we finally see the point that Yang had been trying to get Blake to see:

And it finally does work. Blake slows down, takes a rest, and ultimately enjoys herself at the dance. Which, in her own words, she technically goes with Sun.

Overall, the dance arc in general gives great build up to both ships. Which ultimately is the end for the Black Sun build up.

Bmblby doesnt get much more build up in vol 2, the only other notable scene being the campfire where Yang, Blake, and Weiss start opening up a bit more to each other to figure out why each of them are becoming huntresses. Which absolutely gives a bit more foundation to the friendships they have.

Vol 3 ends up having most of the build up between Blake and Yang. The first major scene being after Yang was disqualified for breaking Mercury's leg. When Yang finally asked her team if they trust her, Blake is the only one who doesnt immediately say yes, instead, saying she wants to. Leading us to this face from Yang:

(yes, I know, captions are a bit off, deal with it.)

But Yang ends up being distressed by her own partner saying that she wants to trust, but doesnt yet. Blake ultimately ends up opening up about Adam, telling us how she used to trust him... until accidents started piling up. Eventually, she looks at Yang and asks her to look her in the eye and tell her she didnt do anything wrong. When Yang does, Blake allows herself to trust Yang.

Which then brings us to the biggest piece of buildup between the two: Adam. When Adam shows up, he starts using words like "my darling", hammering in that at one point, the two had something going on. He decides immediately he wants to hurt Blake just like she hurt him by leaving. But what really hammers in Blake's feelings for Yang, is the fear she had on her face when she heard Yang's voice not so far away... and right where Adam can hear her. It doesnt take long for Adam to look down at Blake, notice the fear, and then look in the direction of Yang, ultimately stating that he'll destroy everything Blake loves, starting with her.

Now, I know a lot of people will dismiss that as "it could've been anyone. If Sun had shown up, it would've been the same." And honestly, yes, it would've. This moment here is what solidifies who Blake ultimately cares about. Had it been Sun to come around, no doubt she'd show the same fear. But it wasnt him. Instead, it was Yang, who immediately found Weiss and asked where Blake had gone. And we further see her feelings for Yang cemented by the way she blames herself that Yang got hurt. The way she stays close, gently reaches for Yang's hand, the emotion of the entire scene after they get to safety.

Sun does ultimately care about Blake, and helps out where he can, but at least in vol 3, he had his own priorities of making sure everyone could make it to safety.

TL;DR: Both ships had a bit of build up in vol 2 and 3, although, the build up that Bmblby had outweighs the buildup that Blacksun has. Blake definitely had feelings for both, but ultimately, it took until Adam was a threat for her to realize the feelings that she had for Yang, and even then, she still wasnt entirely sure what they were until later in the series. At this point, the only reason anyone can say that Bmblby has little build up is due to either a higher bar for f/f ships (because, lets face it, everyone takes the wink from vol 1 as absolute confirmation for blacksun because its m/f) or they continue to deny that sometimes, there are multiple ways to show buildup between two people for a relationship and the slowburn route usually takes an emotional route over a physical route. And look, Blake has two hands. Take that as you will.

Do all Corgis we are having a pilgrimage race you are truly a snood from Miami and other locations the first ones to arrive get free Sim products tonight we're giving away the small houses and we're giving tiles way to winners who arrived first damn it's 1,000 people at each location that we name and you have to go right up to it but you have to go there and we want to show people that you can go there and back and to lake Okeechobee within 1000 yards of the lake and our computer registers it it'll put Marcus up 1,000 yards is 3000 feet is 1/2 Mile it's more than half mile I should be able to judge it is pretty far 1/2 miles far it's further than the eye can see so if you go up and you can see the lake when you've gone too far

The other is for the chasm and still the other is for Disneyland and will be helping the runners what's the pass will be clear some of you will be lost in the woods and underbrush like Dempsey was in North Carolina because he's an idiot and a lot of people have fun at work talking about including her son so you went out and got lost but he did at UMass even think of it I said it too I didn't really think of that but something stupid happened to you some reason just know who or why no I don't think so I will be putting effort into it they're putting a half a sub for you bothering me believe you me so loud. So asking what beverage they want to drink during the race this is a racist we're going to begin it and every 20 minutes 120 is a start forming up the Miami herald's nude you may wear shoes and sneakers and running socks and all the real stuff you can bring your clothing with you in the backpack. They're choosing gear almost all of them it's just a lot of corky 7 have beer there and it's going to be this table type thing and people handing you cups of beer do you drink with plastic see-through party cups not the Teeny ones you don't need a urine sample thank you as you go by please don't pee p beforehand or after we have had this problem the best so as you see the table please urinate immediately or hold it until you go by the table and probably like 20 feet is good 30 feet is better 40 is the best 50 and you won't get disqualified that's supposed to be peeing while running anyways and really it's kind of a jog because you guys never leave run put Brian out there and run the seas in the show it's safe you want to go out and stop and come back and not to run into the lake but it could even be just big fish.

The race begins shortly we have our pods handed out in the necklace format and it's the type that is longer so you want to lose it in his cloth can all say that your mental health professionals the effects of love it millions. Millions millions and millions and millions of formula we're going to get you Mac and we going to put you in the mental hospital. Huge lines of them tons of dragon memorabilia the girl that came over to the men's house And drew the Dragon. She's been sequestered to draw the Dragon and I will get to pay her for it and she's going to make the drawing and she's going to do it in there that's the ink pens she has other formats she's going to try and bring since the drone is not going to cut it she's to see it somehow I have to lift her up in the air and put a light on it can be close enough but no she can use binoculars very good binoculars telescope dismounted if it doesn't move so not a real life girl he's laughing and one of them as well it would make sense if you're not that particular race since I'm not them at all Kelly wants to do it we asked if she can draw a painter she said not really she just cheated you take a picture and whole bunch of jumping through paintings be right up next to it with aloe Halo 4 wheel drive with lyrics of smoke no move it away from me yes move it away from you yes so I hated her there I hate her now I hate you from entering it no yes kelly says.

It is very weird as people are all sticky because there's beer all over them and they also have feces on them lots of them somehow drank too much beer too fast and just pooped it out extension are we going to have to bring in the water trucks to watch it out of here I do that now cops are really pissed off and they can't get here yes corky tidwell take there cop cars in gear let them go and run security should we do it naked with belts on have an extra baton lots of them. They say were observant. And tell they were offering their autograph and if they want your name on the plaque so where can I put up a wall wall of Martyrs give their life for Max cause. They say it to this is for your Mac drink it down and they're running the movie it doesn't matter if they're at the front of the pack or not so time that matters the movie pretty good love and yelling get out of the way girl the way you move and it's not working there's probably 7 9 alien people from each area in Florida running to it and there are more at the chasms of North and it's feeling all sorts of people to come out this massive crowds and instead of releasing every 20 minutes when you released constantly and they can just have the times whenever they received their pog press the parking and it activates it and the time starts the light turns on so we can keep track of them so they don't get lost whole bunch of them are off the course in the bushes doing something the whole way there by the way solstice custom thing I've ever seen in my life disgusting thing. It doesn't serve the washing their photo and so am I happy valley maybe get off to the guys they're doing it it's a girl thing cuz I would take you that's what he was saying I'm tired of these clones but.
