Three sources I could be bothered to find:

Artist has a proper gallery on Pixiv but this piece isn't in there.

Original commentary:

Commission request for Weiss and Blake. The tight jeans were my idea lol

Took the post title from just the first two words since the full commentary seemed a bit much but I didn't want to leave it untitled.

Does this count as a yuri meme? I hope so.

Okay but Blake IS a top and Weiss IS a bottom so I declare this meme a lie

also these two are a terrible ship

    Lol you're not wrong on the first half.

    Personally I always end up leaning into this ship whenever I try mapping out a rewrite, tho, so I'll fight you on the second.

    For a rewrite I could totally see this ship working, I just don't like it with the characters developing the way they do in the canon because Weiss never properly unpacked her racism and classism, and pairing her with Blake feels disgusting without at least some further development on that first. If a rewrite actually acknowledges this at all while shipping them, I approve

    Fair enough! I tend to find the Bumbleby ship distasteful for similar reasons (Yang not only mirrors Adam a little too closely when Adam is made out by the narrative to be Blake's abusive ex, but apart from the trauma bonding on the one side you've got a girl with trust and abandonment issues while on the other you have a girl with commitment issues and a history of ghosting her partners).
