So when were y’all gonna tell me that this man from Bee & Puppycat
Tumblr media
Was voiced by the same guy as this man
Tumblr media Tumblr media
CUZ LIKE???? THEY ARE SO SIMILAR? Like aesthetically?? At least to me???
My dilemma now is when I see this one man (I’m hoping we see more of him I haven’t seen the rest of the show yet)
Tumblr media
I’M ONLY GONNA THINK OF THIS MAN
Tumblr media
And also now that I know this man
Tumblr media
Is a dad
Is voiced by Shannon
Looks similar to Ozpin
My Dadpin and Farmson brain can’t help but merge the two, I can’t help it 😆
Like for real was I really suppose to figure out all on my own or through a tweet by Shannon because that’s exactly what happened 😂
I summon my Ozpin friends because I can’t be the only one who sees the similarities as least appearance wise.

That recent ask about Ozpin is something I’ve noticed before: how this show suddenly flipped the switch when it came to its views of mentors after Ruby’s speech in V6. While I’m all for fucking mentor trope, that doesn’t erase the fact that this show did have mentors be played straight.
The weird part is that the show clearly wants the flawed/inferior/corrupt mentor thing going on... it just doesn't seem to have any concept of what inferiority, corruption, or truly damning flaws looks like. I mean, so many in the fandom, myself included, expected Ozpin to be shady because that's the trend + we got a few, deliberately mysterious lines. But, as I've discussed elsewhere, his Beacon days were played straight — he does care for his students, Pyrrha did willingly agree to be the Maiden, he didn't die as a part of some nefarious plan, etc. — and then Volume 6 was twenty minutes of, "Look at how this average dude got caught up in the Gods' games, actually manipulated into a cursed existence, suffered abuse at the hands of his villainous spouse, and then spent the next 1000+ years going through everything bad ever." Playing at being a God himself is the one, legit thing the group might have called him out on and they didn't. They only care about the Salem secret. Which is super weird given their own experiences! We could have gotten a story where the group learns that Ozpin was once so easily swayed and overconfident that he ruled Remnant, likely as the King as well as a "God," and it's only within the last 100 years or so that he's found a healthier balance between protecting the world from these horrors and not acting as the world's puppet master. Ruby might have realized that "more mistakes than any man, woman, or child" was a very serious statement and she has to grapple with what the means when it's superimposed on the man she previously considered a wonderful mentor. Instead the group is just like, "You're a bad mentor because you kept a secret from your allies. Now we're gonna be better than you by going and keeping that exact same secret from the next ally we meet."
Then Qrow's arc is its own hot mess, largely because the show failed to offer him enough compassion and criticize him thoroughly. It has everything backwards. No one is going to call him out on what he did to Oscar, but they simultaneously don't care that he's clearly falling deeper into his addiction. None of them are willing to listen to him when he points out how batshit horrible this airship plan is, presumably because he's been unreliable lately, even though these are two entirely separate issues. No one is interested in looking at how, when not grappling with the thought that his life's work is useless, Qrow was the most competent of the group, saving Ruby's life, what? A month ago? He has two bad days and has thus fallen from the mentor pedestal, told to take a back seat or get lost. Then the show, despite dragging Qrow for an addiction, isn't at all interested in criticizing him for escalating a fight and teaming up with Tyrian, leading to Clover's death. To say nothing of how these assertions constantly fail in the face of other characters. The group looks up at Qrow on the staircase and proclaims they don't need adults anymore... while they stand in Saphron and Terra's house, about to eat their food, before using their access to pull off their plan, with Maria smiling along with them. Qrow's 48 hour fall off the wagon is treated like an actual fall from grace that takes complete obedience and a magical cure of his addiction to come back from... but two volumes later we're supposed to embrace Ruby's own, two day collapse, hiding away from the fight because it's just too much for her. Obviously, we've discussed the double standards here extensively, but all of that is made worse by the fact that the show clearly has no idea what it's trying to say about mentors and the next generation. Choices like ignoring how much the group has relied on adults through six volumes (and onwards: they literally get licenses, jobs, housing, upgrades, and a new plan from Ironwood a day after making that claim), having them repeat supposed mistakes immediately after damning others, and constantly flip flopping between Huntsmen the World Leaders and Huntsmen the Children Who Shouldn't Be on a Battlefield just shows that RWBY says things at random, to sound cool and epic, without any attempt to make it make sense.

RWBY V7 Redesigns - Concept Art and In-Show Models
I'm not happy with Blake's in show model - the angle she's standing at makes it impossible to see the white on her arms or back that break up all the black, or much of the purple on her coattails. Other than that, however, I'm mostly proud of how this came out. Editing screenshots of the show is so much harder than editing concept art, but it's all turned out reasonably clean.
I hope you enjoy my recoloring of Team RWBY, and here's hoping that there's more color to their next wardrobe change.

Something I haven't seen anybody talk about is how RWBYs rejection of Ozpin puts their entire team in question. Ruby only overcame her hesitation in being leader with Ozpins assurance that mistakes were natural and she would rise to the occasion; Weiss only gave Ruby a chance once she had it pointed out that she thought she knew better than Ozpin and was being narrow minded. Shouldn't they find themselves questioning their team dynamic after rejecting the man they based it on?
We've discussed the lack of nuance in the Ozpin situation before, specifically how everyone has a uniform reaction to only the last part of the vision, but I think that lack of nuance extends to how underdeveloped and at times confusing their relationship with Ozpin is post-Beacon.
As you say, he had a hand in developing what's supposed to be the group's family, their team. I'm not saying he was solely responsible for the bonds they formed, or even that he had some huge impact beyond that gentle steering/running the school that put them in the same place, but just that he had some impact and that's never acknowledged.
Nor was his status as their headmaster more generally. They never mourned for him as a mentor, or even just another victim of the Fall of Beacon.
No one engages with the instability his death supposedly caused, though Volume 7's election plot shows that the group doesn't care at all about the politics of their world, even though Blake is supposed to.
When Ozpin reappears they're happy to see him... but in a way that implies they've got a cute little brother to tease now, not an ally deserving of equal respect, let alone a mentor.
This intensifies when Yang shows up and very publicly (within the group) challenges him. She believes she knows best, she's taking Raven at her word, she's calling Ozpin out in front of everyone, she's demanding promises after being proven wrong... the respect from Beacon is gone.
Then all of Volume 6-8 happens and we see that the group will not only turn on him in an instant, but are happy to cut him out of their lives completely. Saving Oscar, Ruby, and Maria's lives doesn't help. Presumably needing him to get into Atlas doesn't help. Months of down time and repeating his decisions doesn't help. He becomes nonexistent to them once the story no longer has need of him.
Tackling how rejecting Ozpin impacts the group's understanding of their own dynamic would require the story knowing what their relationship to Ozpin is. It's all over the place. He's the kind, mysterious mentor. Then he's the funny dude connected to a kid stranger. Then he's the worst person ever, despite the group having encountered Salem's henchmen already, the people actually trying to murder and kidnap them. Then he's insignificant for a huge stretch of time. Now he's... just there. I would have loved a scene, for example, where Ruby tries to come to terms with two different versions of Ozpin in her head: the one who trusted her with a team when she didn't even believe in herself vs. the one who didn't trust her with Salem's secret. That there is a major theme of a coming of age story, where the child realizes that the adults around her are fallible and lead complicated lives of their own. But, again, the desire for such a scene requires two things that RWBY continually fails to produce. The first is emotional payoff. Ruby didn't even react to Penny's resurrection, let alone her headmaster's place in her life. The second is a sound moral standing that acknowledges the nuance of the situation. If Ruby were to consider who Ozpin really is, that would require her to think about the differences between those events, which leads us to all the arguments we've been saying since Volume 6. Why would Ozpin trust her with a team but not Salem? Maybe because getting a team was a part of her structured education and this is a world-defining war. Maybe because she's seen first-hand what learning about Salem does to people, understands how fear can drive you to make questionable choices, and now knows that this secret is tied up in Ozpin's trauma. Maybe because she showed up in his safehouse when he never had any intention of getting her involved and she forced his hand by stealing a magical relic.
Having Ruby - or anyone - express ambivalence with the Ozpin situation because of what he's done for them, including how he helped form their team, would require the story to see him as something other than the 100% antagonist of this situation. They should be questioning a LOT of stuff post-vision, including what it means to so completely reject the man who helped form the core bonds they're now relying on to survive this war. I'm not saying the group owes him, I'm saying it takes a remarkably callous person (a remarkably one-note character) to never even struggle with, or just question what it means when someone who previously helped you so much suddenly hurts you instead. Ruby should be thinking about Ozpin letting her into Beacon early in the same way Yang should be thinking about Ironwood giving her an arm. These are defining moments for these girls, changing the course of their lives, and they occurred because of these men. That generates a certain amount of good will and fond feelings, something that never reappears once Ozpin and Ironwood came under fire. Just like we can't expect emotional nuance for the headmaster when the BFF Penny got none, I'm not at all surprised we failed to get an examination of team dynamics when the bigger, more obvious Ozpin influences were passed over too.

You know what I want in RWBY
... Well one specific thing I want.
I want for there to be scene in which Oz goes a bit far. Now I don't mean he crosses the line or goes full Ironwood.
No no, I mean a scene where he gets caught up in the fight. Maybe it's the intensity, maybe he's protecting someone. Maybe he's emotional and doesn't even realise.
A scene where Oz, shows everyone around him just what he's capable of.
He doesn't even hit the guy, or at least it wasn't a strike that anyone could see. He doesn't even need a weapon, it doesn't matter that Oscar's hands shouldn't have that much strength in them and they don't, it's all Oz's strength.
A scene that makes our heroes freeze, our villians cower (Salem's miffed but acts indifferent, probs rolls her eyes like finally)
Just something that makes them realise just who Ozpin is. That he isn't just there old Headmaster who bakes cookies that they can push around. This is a being who is the sum of countless warriors, that he could destroy them with just a thought. That this man ruled for centuries, who's lived so many lives humanity is ants compared to him.
That it is only through his compassion, his love, his selflessness that has kept humanity thriving. His skills and wisdom that has taught them to take up arms, nourished there skills and created the academies that gave them a fighting chance for survival.
This is Salem's greatest enemy.
Her equal and humanities hope.

All I’m saying is, every issue / villain in Remnant is because of a failure in society, right? (Besides Grimm) Corruption in governments, unsafe living conditions, strict laws all lead to these villain characters rising against the 4 kingdoms. Because the Kingdoms control the Huntsmen, who fight the Grimm, to make the city-state safe.
Yeah? 
But who has had thousands of years to organize literally everything?  Control of all 4 relics to make the world how he saw fit?  Whose failures led to the creation of Cinder Fall, Roman/Neo, Junior/Malachites, Watts, Emerald and Mercury, Hazel, the human-faunus issues etc
The only villain that isn’t Ozpin’s fault is Salem  He created all of his other enemies himself  He could have guided the world to a better path, of unification and healing. But instead he split up the relics into 4 schools to guard against Salem for as long as he could and hoped for the best, telling children they should fight his war for him 
I’m never going to like Ozpin. I can’t

Emerald: So, you're basically the therapist for, like, the entire group?
Oscar: Pretty much, yeah.
Emerald: Who's your therapist, then?
Oscar:
Oscar, holding up a small pebble: I talk to this rock sometimes.

With the way the show had Oz apologize to the group even though they ripped out his secrets, and how it’s angling towards a Salem redemption, I’m really afraid that when it happens, they’ll ether have Oz apologize saying it’s his fault Salem was like that. Or when their curses are broken, be together in the afterlife even though Salem is his abuser.
If I have to see Salem get redeemed, I’m going to be vexed. I have a general problem with the ‘yes, this person has slaughtered millions with no remorse, but they’re good now’ stories. When White Diamond in Steven Universe got ‘redeemed,’ I considered it the worst mistake of the show. Now that I know that the ending was rushed because it wasn’t the creator’s choice to end the show, I have more sympathy, and the show is made for children. But yeah, I’d hate a Salem redemption, especially as this show isn’t made for children and is constantly trying to pass itself off as serious and deep. But if I have to see Salem get redeemed and have Oz take the blame for her actions or be in a relationship with her, I’m going to seriously flip my lid.
Abuse victims don’t owe their abusers anything. I already see so many people blaming Oz for how things went with Salem, claiming he was just as culpable as her, saying that he’s at fault for the deaths of his children because he tried to leave, or claiming that Salem wasn’t his abuser! Honestly, I can’t stand Oz haters. XD And I don’t mean ‘people that don’t like Oz’ but the ‘Oz is responsible for all the bad in the world, he basically murdered Gretchen and Pyrrha, he deserved all the treatment he got from the group after Lost Fable, he’s just as much of a villain as Hazel/Cinder/Salem, poor poor Oscar having to deal with this guy, Oz is forcing Oscar to merge with him :( :( :(’ people.

I love seeing all the different ways ppl draw Oscar and Ozpin. All the little differences between how they draw hair or clothes or eyes or how they simplify Long Memory (or how they don’t simplify it in which case: Powerful) 
Idk I Just Think It’s Neat.

It’s so infuriating that Ironwood losing his other arm is “losing his humanity” to the crew. Ableism aside, what is more human or humane than sacrificing oneself for the common good? We know that Ironwood was sensitive about his prostheses (covering them until his heel turn). HE saw it with that ableist view, but he still did it. Aside from pain, the willingness to sacrifice a part of his body and self image to save his people is incredible. It should have been the opposite of “losing” humanity
A lot of RWBY fans and the show itself truly seems like they just don’t want to admit that anything Ironwood did was ever good, and yet they still insist that he was a nuanced character.
“This character is ruthless and now that the chips are down, his ‘ends justify the means’ mentality really took over and - coupled with obvious exhaustion, mental trauma, and impossible no-win situations - drove him to commit cruel acts. But at the same time, he’s still, at heart, a selfless person, willing to sacrifice his own comfort and his reputation, and willing to go through severe pain and lose his arm to try and save millions upon millions of lives.” That sounds at least somewhat valid and believable.
I might still take issue with the characterization (Ironwood’s fall went from zero to a hundred and was done jerkily, with not enough set up, as well as that aforementioned mental trauma getting no sympathy) but it’s so annoying to have characters like Winter insist he sacrificed nothing, and to have the writers and the FNDM act like James losing his arm was a sign of his villainy. And you see this with the FNDM in literally everything about James. Fans look back on canon and try and twist literally anything into something bad, and I truly believe part of why they do that is because it doesn’t line up.
And honestly, some of the reasons people have in considering James losing his arm are just dumb. For instance, people are still saying the “It didn’t have to do with getting injured, James losing his humanity along with his arm was tied up in his impulsivity. If he’d just waited, he could’ve been healed!” And that’s so dumb. A. They don’t know about whether or not he could’ve been healed, because auras are so badly used, B. They don’t know this is what the creators meant at all, this is the way they interpreted what they said so they could feel less icky about worshiping them, and C. James didn’t have a script of the show he could read through to realize Salem wasn’t quite there yet, would wait a bit and send in the Hound before attacking, and would conveniently land her dumb whale on farmlands rather than directly in the city to make Ruby’s choices less destructive in a way that took her no effort for no good reason. For all Ironwood (or our heroes) knew, Salem would begin waging war directly against civilians within the next thirty minutes. Also D. Kinda victim blamey if you ask me. “Ironwood wouldn’t have lost his arm if he hadn’t tried to make himself as ready for the attack that would likely result in the deaths of millions and millions of people as he could,” is such a lousy take.
Ironwood wouldn’t have lost his arm if it wasn’t for Watts, who actually trapped and hurt James in the first place. Ironwood wouldn’t have lost his arm if it wasn’t for Salem, coming to attack them directly because she’s literally the most evil person. Ironwood wouldn’t have lost his arm if it wasn’t for Jacques, knowingly and willingly letting murderer’s run rampant because it makes his already incredibly cushy life that much cushier. People need to stop pretending like James sacrificing when the forces of Satan were more or less conspiring directly against him was an ‘act of villainy’ or him ‘losing his humanity.’
Like you said, it’s not only ableist, it’s also just plain stupid. There’s very little that’s more heroic than being willing to sacrifice yourself for the greater good.
