I'm certain she doesn't have romantic feelings for Blake, since Monty strove to make RWBY as ecchi-free as possible, going against the grain (which I always enjoy). So I see the patch as a reminder of her more joyful past, something she doesn't want to forget. I hope she keeps the jacket too, a memento of her father's no doubt, the show needs such fond memories to somewhat offset the dark times on the horizon. 1. I was not saying that you were thinking of the ship. I was saying that I'm afraid that other people would think the patch hints to the ship and then get pissed off and scream "Queerbaiting" if Black Sun happens because they thought the patch was the crew's way of saying #BumblebyConfirmed. People have cried "queerbaiting" for less, like the large part of the Supernatural fandom that thinks the show keeps hinting Destiel, when all that I've seen from the show is Dean considering Cas to be family, not romantic love.

2. Ecchi... RWBY would not become ecchi just because of two girls dating. Two girls dating is not inherently sexual, it's just.. two girls in love.
