Yang: You’re not one to back down from a challenge, Blake.
Blake: *stands up to her abuser twice; tries her hardest to convince Ilia to rethink her decisions and redeem herself; takes the White Fang right out from under Adam, effectively destroying everything Adam built for himself and making it her own*
Yang saw it in her from the very beginning. :)))))
A few of my favorite “they really did that” Bumbleby moments:
“If you feel like coming out tomorrow (which doubles as a great pun ‘cause you know, coming out)…I’ll save you a dance” *wink* because come on y’all, that’s gay
“I will make it my mission to destroy everything you love” *Yang appears* “starting with her” because he seriously just cast the narrative equivalent of summon love interest and Yang showed up
“There’s nothing that I won’t do for her” in Armed and Ready, because like y’all…it’s from her perspective after everything went down and she would still do anything for Blake
BMBLB’s entire existence, because holy crap that’s so much gay in one song y’all
“What if I needed her here for me?” because oh my gooooood y’all, like that was soooo high up on the list of things I wanted Yang to say as a biased ass bee shipper. Really though this entire episode is one big “holy crap this is a real thing” because we seriously have an entire subplot of an episode dedicated to Yang’s complicated feelings about Blake
The reunion
No seriously
They had Blake walk into a room filled with her closest friends and complete strangers
And she immediately zooms in on Yang and says her name so softly
And then we get like a 5 second shot of just Yang’s reaction complete with Wings softly playing in the background
Like how the hell did we not just make that up?
Also All That Matters’s existence
I mean it’s an entire song about Yang’s complicated feelings
That’s sooooooo easy to interpret as romantic
Like when people don’t even ship bumbleby are like “oh I relate to this after I broke up with my ex” that tells you how easy it is to interpret as romantic
