Be free to ignore this long post since I'll probably delete this later after a full night of sleep.

I'm honestly curious. If bumbleby was a plan since the beginning, why they bothered to give Blake a secondary love interest beside Adam?

Were they trying to play safe and hinted towards BlakexSun so they would have a "fail safe" in case people weren't ready for a gay couple? The first big offical gay couples in cartoons were yet to come back in 2013 when Rwby started to air (KorraxAsami at the end of the 2014 and RubyxSapphire in mid 2015) so I can understand why Crwby would want to be careful with more “radical” ideas. Especially since they were a fairly new show in semi small platform.

Or perhaps bmblb was one of the possible options they had at the beggining. I doubt they had that much planned from the beginning (outside Monty’s head) but I can see something like that being thrown arround during the scrip writing progress or when the writers were brain storming more ideas.

Or maybe Barbara just wants to see the world burn. That is always a possibility. I mean, why to ruin “the moment” a week (or two) early?

But those are just thoughts from curious neutral party. Be free to ignore me.
