Some ideas I had for RWBY:
Raven and Qrow’s dad is named Jackdaw Branwen and they have an aunt named Maggie “Magpie” Branwen.
They also have cousins named Rook and Jay. Jay has a daughter named Starling.
Starling is the decoy Spring Maiden instead of Vernal.

honestly i'm thinking about my overthrown ozpin au since someone reblogged an old post abt it
i'm just thinking abt his exile, how devastated and confused he was, yet trying desperately to stay optimistic, that surely this will all blow over
thinking abt ozpin going to old safehouses and old allies, only for those places and people to no longer be safe, being betrayed time and time again
thinking abt him retreating into the woods outside of vale, at first hoping that at least one village would help him, would believe him, only for even them to distrust him, for rumors to have been made, only for him to be damn near burned at the stake because some particularly religious people claimed he was a 'witch' (and isn't that ironic?)
thinking abt ozpin's trust and hope in people being completely shattered, even when it came to simple old civilians because even the children in villages were terrified of him
ozpin attempting to hide deep in the thickest part of the woods, making his own little house, having to call on the survival skills of several past lives just to get by
ozpin writing in journals, documenting his experiences, naming the various animals he kept around, doting on his sheep and his singular horse named Magpie (he misses qrow so, so badly), making a cloak/cape out of their wool
ozpin silently guiding lost travelers out of the woods to safety, despite his mistrust of them
ozpin being chased away, his home destroyed, losing his beloved horse, and having to run back into vale, because no other kingdom is safe
ozpin being found by roman and neo, two criminals being the only people that actually help him
ozpin falling into the trap of alcohol, trying desperately not to remember how his own father did the exact same thing
ozpin losing his arm and his cane, his murder of salems lackey being the catalyst to his ever-growing rage and his downfall
ozpin forcing grimm to bow to him, getting merlot to work for him and to get him his grimm arm, ignoring qrows and glyndas protests and anger
ozpin convincing adam taurus to work for him with the help of CME and watts, telling him that helping him would be the first step to truly liberating the faunus
ozpin completely overtaking vale in a single night, disabling pyrrha (but not killing her) and brutally murdering the newest beacon headmaster on live tv
ozpin reinstating vales monarchy, making himself the new king/emperor- because dictators are what people hate, because this is a way to unite people against him
ozpin taking in a little baby oscar and raising the ram faunus, and eventually cracking under his 'act' that is slowly not becoming an act and forcing oscar into brutal, nasty training (which is just an excuse to abuse the kid) and 'punishing' (abusing) him whenever oscar steps out of line
ozpin terrifying leo into working for him, and eventually taking mistral 5 years into his reign, officially creating the Oz Empire, but still lacking the lamp of knowledge due to team RWBY, JNPR, and to his shock and rage, salem
ozpin creating terrifying, monstrous grimm- anything from giant sea leviathans that could take down a whole atlas ship with a single snap of its jaws, to the horrifying infamous grimm known as The Consumption, a parasitic grimm that plants 'seeds' in people, before eventually overtaking their bodies in a horrifying burst, infecting the environment itself, craving and needing biomass to feed itself and grow
ozpin turning on the white fang and killing adam when he tries fighting back, utterly destroying the group with his empires far superior technology
atlas completely abandoning the other kingdoms, hoarding all the resources for itself, becoming a fascist police state
ozpin's magic affecting the environment- animals and plants becoming more and more aggressive, mimicking grimm, and grimm becoming far more aggressive, attacking literally everything in sight
ozpin taking vacuo, getting the sword of destruction, keeping it on him at all times
ozpin taking back the maiden powers, getting stronger and stronger every time he takes back his magic, killing raven and the summer maiden in the process
ozpin being furious when pyrrha is forced to kill cinder and pyrrha becomes the fall maiden
ozpin killing pyrrha not long before he goes to try and take atlas, getting the fall maiden powers, knowing that pyrrhas death tears apart jaune
ozpin having personally torn out rubys eye, and ruby having to take the time to adjust being down an eye
yang being mostly prosthetics because she's lost so much due to the war, despite trying to be careful and smart
blake losing an ear, having issues with her hearing and having to adjust to being HoH
weiss having chronic pain due to all the dust/magic damage all over her body, her eyesight slowly worsening
jaune losing his left arm, integrating his shield into it, and letting his hair grow out
nora having lichtenburg scars everywhere, and dealing with constant chronic pain, her joints being the worst because of the constant amount of force
ren being the least damaged out of the group, but still dealing with arthritis and lowered joint range
nora having nearly been paralyzed, so she has a sort of prosthetic on her spine to help her keep walking
pyrrha having a lot of prosthetics before being killed, which aided her a lot in her fights
oscar running away at 14 successfully with the help of qrow and RWBY, glynda dying in the process, and oscar having to deal with the awful amount of PTSD he has as well as his disabilities, and requiring a new prosthetic leg (which was based off of mercurys legs)
ozpin attacking atlas directly with his new, massive metallic/grimm wyvern the size of monstra, stealing the winter maiden powers from winter and killing her, killing ironwood, and destroying atlas with the sword of destruction
ozpin being practically half grimm, the grimm from his arm having covered half of his body, allowing him to control grimm, summon those shadow hands via glyphs, and allowing him to contort in horrifying ways and to regenerate the grimm part of himself (it's not painless, it hurts like hell)
ozpin finally being killed by oscar via the sword of destruction, ending the war
the kingdoms having several civil wars and wars between each other afterwards because no one can decide on how to tackle the history of the war
the veterans from all sides refusing to talk about the war
ozpin reincarnating in oscar, and due to oscar healing with his friends help, oscar takes no bullshit from oz, and as a result, oz slowly, slowly heals
oscar being adopted by ruby and penny, and grieving the loss of winter, yang, nora, glynda and pyrrha with the remnants of the two teams

B/S W/J anon still (this is a terrible way to sign off hrgdjfh. Henceforth towers all the way down?). Not a novel this time I just want to say mhmhmhm! I’m tossing the ‘you getttttt iiiiit’ right back.
I cannot for the life of me remember exactly how I found your blog but I did twig the pairing first, yeah. I do recall rifling around in your reverse Ozlem tag like a magpie in a jewelry box, and having been lurking vigilantly since.
Ooh, also. The point you raised about romance intrinsically being embedded in family is very cool because that’s really actually why I would say my interest in romance is routed through family; not solely what you’re born to but also what you make.
The duality of that and the balance between the need for connection, love, and need for independent identity, really appeals to me across all kinds of love. Family and familial have always felt different in scope to me, in an annoyingly nebulous way, very wide-vs-narrow but why; this compare-contrast of your angle and mine has clarified that semantic mental distinction, which is very cool, so thanks!
Loads and loads of appreciation for your thoughts and time. <3
Well I think slowly over time my inbox notification might no longer send my stomach swooping. I checked this whilst eating dinner and I was like, oh thank fuck. Hahahaha
You can be Tower Anon, which is fun because in tarot the Tower can symbolise radical transformation and paradigm shifts. I actually don't know if RWBY references tarot, but I do enjoy thinking of Jaune as the Fool.
I cannot for the life of me remember exactly how I found your blog but I did twig the pairing first, yeah. I do recall rifling around in your reverse Ozlem tag like a magpie in a jewelry box, and having been lurking vigilantly since.
This is so interesting and emboldens me rather dangerously. I mean, I'm always happy to change minds and I always find the relation of that a rather grand rush, but in this case you've got a fresh perspective and I think that's really interesting. I'm glad you enjoy my Reverse Ozlem tag. I do think of this blog as the magpie hoard in my fairy cave. (:

This is where I girlblog.
Ooh, also. The point you raised about romance intrinsically being embedded in family is very cool because that’s really actually why I would say my interest in romance is routed through family; not solely what you’re born to but also what you make.
The duality of that and the balance between the need for connection, love, and need for independent identity, really appeals to me across all kinds of love. Family and familial have always felt different in scope to me, in an annoyingly nebulous way, very wide-vs-narrow but why; this compare-contrast of your angle and mine has clarified that semantic mental distinction, which is very cool, so thanks!
Well, I find the topic rather interesting because the (platonic) found family trope is really common in fandom spaces, but... romantic attachments are found family? That is already archetypally the case. Then again, I have broader issues because I think that the transactional value of romantic love is, well, valued in society and storytelling (ego validation, ownership) but the actual fundamental quality of romantic love (unconditional regard, transformation, connection) is not. So you have people who reject romantic love entirely, when really I am rejecting 'bad' heteronormativity. I value romantic love in real life and in storytelling, and in storytelling I am interested in interconnected character development, transformation, and of course sexual intercourse.
I think though for me there are qualities specific to romance which are familial but also aren't. If we're speaking in the context of Knightfall specifically, Jaune is the character who can reach Cinder because of the specific power of romantic love in the story which can allow for completely transgressing good-and-evil when it seems most impossible and heretical, and because it injects some genuine bias into the matter - can you trust Cinder or does he just love her? There's the potential for some really juicy drama there if they're clever, but this is why I think the secret love affair (heresy!) has the potential to be interesting, because you wouldn't ask this question about friendship, or, if say, they were related in some way (shock family reveal, lol). The thing is as well is that for both Jaune and Cinder moving beyond being children is possible through making adult connections... and Cinder's not had unconditional connections, not someone willing to transgress everything. So to my eyes romantic love here is working in narrative epic scope as well, and I'm interested in the sublime specifically, especially the intensely emotional which has metaphysical/physical consequences, and maybe even divine madness.
I think it sounds like you are interested in the self-actualisation of characters and I think that crosses over with romance quite naturally, probably in ways a lot of people don't really conceive of, because romance is Guy Get Girl, or Girl Get Guy, standing in the background, romance-as-trophy, or romance as a series of non-connected events whilst the writers invent new drama, etc. To your average casual shipper or your average person's conception of romance, this might be a little alien as it's more rooted in narrative goals and needs, and of course my dollies kissing, often and well.
But as I was saying, I do enjoy those relationships you yourself referenced (Ruby-Summer in particular). Part of the reason I think the romance in this story works so well is because the relationships outside of those romances are actually so well-defined, and overall I really enjoy the ensemble cast because you don't get that effect of Jaune/Cinder without it.
Really, truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your asks and please always feel free to stop by again, especially if you've got any questions or you want to share any more thoughts. I hope you're here for the finale too, because I'd love to hear what you think then. I don't check my inbox until I've watched the episode, so there won't be any chance of you accidentally spoiling me if you want to come say hi and let me know what you think of it all. It would probably do me good too for the emotional devastation that may be wrought. Tee hee.
In the meantime as well of course, if you have any further thoughts on anything I'd love to hear them. Have a lovely evening and take care! Thank you again!

bird hc masterlist
Tumblr media
(some of this was from a prior version of that meme so it was an excuse for more compilations, yay)
tl;dr:
he’s not actually a specific type of corvid but the twins both being ravens is closest
he can talk (some), and he sounds like Hamlet the parrot from tiktok
his hair acts like feathers
he does some bird-like things as a human
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I was thinking this morning how rwby doesn’t actually specify much about Raven and Qrow’s shapeshifting, we just kind of assume.
What we’re actually told is that they’re birds. Weiss refers to Raven as a raven once, but otherwise, and according to script notes, they’re just birds.
“I gave them the ability to turn into birds.” “Raven…? Qrow…? They’re birds!”
And looking at their designs, they look similar in size, and if anything, Qrow’s is the more complicated one with extra feathers.
This is a long way of saying that I’m officially announcing a headcanon that qrow also turns into a raven. and that’s why he can talk. This is how he talks.
he doesn’t necessarily know this. he can be referred to as any corvid, and just kind of thinks of himself as a generic black bird.
based on your last headcanon do you think he would be a different kind of corvid? like a magpie with white in the wing feather or a blue jay? spies use different identities and clothes so it could tie into that. probably defeats the meaning of his name but i think it’s a pretty cool headcanon.
I don’t see why not!! I think it leaves interpretation pretty well open, and I like to throw in a lot of non-corvid bird references/puns into my writing just for fun (I often mention him parroting people, for example).
If you look at some of the reply discussion, you’ll see some good points too:
@huntsman-ash​ reminded me of the Huginn and Muninn allusions… which definitely points strongly towards both of the twins being Ravens, like their counterparts. And that’s what I work with and picture most strongly.
BUT
@reallifejedi​ replied: If we borrow from a series I really like, shapeshifters make their animal forms based on their own mental images and suppositions. So Qrow’s unique hybrid of multiple birds, and his weird lil cape, *and* their red eyes, can be entirely pulled from their own mental images, and the fact they ‘aren’t quite right’ could very well be because humans are very fallible.
Qrow especially, does not fit the typical feather anatomy of a crow OR raven. There’s no reason their own perceptions or needs can’t be tweaked a little bit each time they shift, if they want. It’s meant to be a disguise, after all, like you said!
We can presume Raven keeps her form relatively consistent, considering Yang was able to recognize her. And Qrow’s has some features which stay the same, but there is just so much room within canon and headcanons to play around with. ‘Hey, it’s ~magic~’ is a good argument for a lot lmao.
Also the meaning of his name is still there, a bit jumbled but still a bird reference, and still the tie-in to being a sign of bad luck and possibly (to some people) the ‘lesser desired’ Branwen.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
qrow’s hair
qrow’s hair when he started at beacon was slightly shaggier, and mostly unstyled.
Shortly before getting his crow form, he cut it to what it is now.
It never changed after that, even if he tried. He couldn’t grow it out further; he could cut it, but it would return to the same length either within a couple weeks, or as soon as he changed to crow form and changed back.
Because in time, it partially became feathers. Separate strands of hair still exist, but they part together in pieces like feathering, and form the shapes that makeup his hairstyle.
It grew naturally into the style it has, he does nothing to it to make it happen. It’s resistant to being changed with heat or product, and eventually he gave up, for what little he cared anyway.
Each ‘pieced’ collection of strands moves like a separate feather, and when he moves his head everything shifts around in a unit together, bounces off itself, etc. (This is literally how it’s animated. I’m pretty sure it works that way for everyone just because of the show’s style but whatever, I’m using it.)
Yes, it will fluff up and/or ruffle slightly if he’s suddenly excited or upset.
Canon feather hair floofage (it might be a stretch but let me have it)
Combing fingers through it still works like normal, it will separate, but return once the person stops. It can be mussed up, but likewise, will return to its original style quickly without any help.
It also secretes oil similar to feathers which gives it some water resistance. Rain will bead off of it to a certain extent before it starts to actually get wet, and it takes basically being completely saturated to lose its style. This is the part he gets most nervous about people possibly catching on to if they’re paying enough attention in a relevant situation. 
(If you squint, that oil gland specifically kind of gives him a faunus trait.)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The bandit tribe used the common technique of communicating with each other using bird whistles and clicks while scouting/raiding. The twins have thus adapted this to their own language using corvid-specific noises for use while exploring, battling, and while in bird form.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Meta on Birds?
this qrow doesn’t have as… strong opinions on other birds as some seem to, haha. some kinds can be annoying. most leave him alone. actual corvids seem to know something is off about him, and treat him with the same wariness as other people do. he doesn’t fit in anywhere.
some of them can be helpful.
between his time in the tribe - knowing nature as signs of danger or weather or the movement of other creatures - and his time in the air - personally learning some ins and outs of their instincts and communication - he has learned to read their behavior pretty well. what species live in what environments and what it means if they move beyond boundaries. how close to somewhere or something he is if he sees one. it’s one more bit of info he can use for his missions.
qrow has a particular affinity for bird faunus. his corvid side helps him understand them better too. he likes to surprise anyone with feathers at how he seems to have some innate sense of how to handle them properly, how it feels to have them, what it’s like to have some birdbrain yet still be mostly human.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
So question, a lot of people like to see how Qrow handled his bird form. What does your Qrow think of it? Are there any tics he has picked up from going back and forth between man and bird? ( like collecting trinkets or the like? )
To the first question,
He thinks of it, mostly, as a tool. Granted, a meaningful one - it’s special to him and Raven alone which is pretty cool; it’s a symbol of Ozpin’s trust; it’s also kind of a reward for being one of the best so he can take pride in that. It’s a secret which can feel like a powerful little ace up his sleeve, even if it’s not really relevant at the time; like a confidence booster if he’s intimidated by other “regular” humans.
As a man with a frequent need to escape his own mind, he loves the freedom his bird form offers, flying through the air unburdened, dipping and weaving in full control of himself, getting to see the whole world in all its beauty and darkness, learning secrets and being able to watch over people. but he respects the responsibility also tied to it, and thus rarely indulges or risks giving himself away without a purpose. Sometimes he can’t help it.
I guess you could say he considers it a blessing that evens out his curse, just a little bit.
To the second,
I do like the idea of picking up some tics! It becomes another self that you’re bound to pick some new habits up from just like if you started frequenting a new place or new people, after all. (I really really love the bird-like head twitching they gave Raven in vol 4, but haven’t seen any equivalents for Qrow really?)
Here’s a list of things so far:
an affinity for eating seeds as a snack. particularly sunflower seeds.
staring longingly out windows, missing the sky and all the information that comes with being out there. you’d be surprised what kind of secrets the changing winds and trees carry. also, he’s kinda always keeping an eye out for Raven.
he can whistle in birdsong. Yes, I know corvids only make ‘ugly’ sounds. No, I don’t care. It’s a general bird thing. Also magic. Also they can learn to imitate other sounds.
he’ll make clicking/rattle type noises sometimes when he’s thinking. Probably only if he’s by himself. Granted, it sounds a little different since in human form it’s with his tongue instead of his throat.
Shiny things do catch his eye, but he usually doesn’t do much about it. It might make him consider switching up his rings sometimes. What he will do is pick up and leave little trinkets for other people, he doesn’t ‘give gifts’ exactly, as he doesn’t present them to people. He’ll just discreetly drop them off on a counter, or windowsill, or their bed when they’re not around. The more he knows someone, the more complex gift they might get, including things he crafts together as a human with all the little bits he picked up as a bird.
The one exception to being discreet that he allows himself: If he’s so happy he doesn’t even know what to do with it, or so upset it’s practically a tantrum (both are rare, but) - he will turn crow and hop around like crazy to get the energy out. It’s his version of screaming into a pillow, I guess. This video is 100% to blame for that one.
he gets some of the really weird positions he puts his legs in, one from them being so long, but also from going back and forth from bow-legged bird legs.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
qrow can be, and has been, in bird form while drunk. crack shenanigans can ensue, especially for pestering Tai, but for main actual headcanon this is only true for flying over distances, not when he’s, say, in a town scoping things out. it’s erratic and hysterical. he has been confused for a really big bat.
on the opposite side, there have been missions that have required (or at least were easier for) him to stay in bird form for a few days straight. these would be spent sober! But not for long once he changes back.
he will also sleep in bird form on missions or sometimes just because.
still building off of the first - most of his ‘people based’ intel came from being able to poke around towns and buildings and watch people or listen in on conversations because he could simply be there, inconspicuous. this is slightly less so after Salem finds out about the birds (or at least, the way she talked about him being an eye blinded I assume she knows even before the show starts?). Her higher up agents knew to at least try to be in a small room or something.  
his crow has the crest feathers on his head unlike Ravens, and yes it does feel nice to be scritched under them.
the grimm leave him alone unless he instigates something, and once he did go after a small pack of ravagers just because he could. he picked two of them off with beak, claws, and tactics, but had to change to wipe the rest of them out because they swarmed.
bonus
yes he poops in bird form if it comes to that, no not on things or people. except maybe on some atlas droids. once. maybe. you can’t prove it.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
vagabonds-and-wanderlust:
You sympathize with crows. After all, you too are a collector of shiny baubles and useless castoffs. And you, too, occasionally give them away to people you’ve taken a liking to.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
crow-suggestions‌:
how to befriend a humble crow: a guide
give me food - peanuts are my favorite :^

Since you reblogged the post from my buddie sideblog, I assume you also ship buddie (if not, ignore or delete this ask), so #35 and buddie for the spotify wrapped ship asks :)
Hii i do ship buddie even tho it's been a while since Ive been active in the fandom but thank you so much for this ask!
Ngl this was hard bc my number 35 is a song from a show about 4 teenage girls fighting gods and that's also what the song is about but I finally settled on:
"Truth will rise / Revealed my mirrored eyes"
From the song Sacrifice from the RWBY soundtrack :)

To be fair to Coeur I'm like 90% sure he hasn't watched RWBY past volume 5 and only has second hand knowledge of the show. He hates modern RWBY, even more then you seem to. Why a lot of his fics tend to be Beacon era fics and not later volume stuff. I do find it fascinating one can drop a show, but still enjoy producing fan content for it at such a consistent pace.
If that is indeed true then okay, it's literally a case of watching different shows lmfao. No wonder we'd have different takeaways. I mean, RWBY's scenarios are a) complicated, b) contradictory, and c) often change wildly depending on how well you remember other parts of the canon. The Ironwood situation isn't the kind of thing you can just wiki and understand, or even ask a friend, as evidenced by the years long discussions about what "actually" happened. Toss in, as said, the fandom's tendency to throw out personal interpretations as indisputable facts and yeah, you can easily wind up with a "Here are my thoughts" explanation that leave others scratching their head. Like you I have no idea how much Coeur has or has not watched lately, but that would definitely make sense imo.
Honestly, I'm crazy impressed by his productivity generally speaking, let alone for a fandom that he's potentially unhappy with atm. I'm a freaking fandom magpie, my bird head swiveling towards the newest, shiniest project on a whim. Have we been on hiatus for a while? I'm losing interest. Is the canon floundering? Losing interest. Have I watched something else lately? Looooosing interest. Do I exist in any capacity? Then the mind wanders! I wish I was someone who double-downed on one fandom with that level of commitment, churning out hundreds of thousands of words, regardless of how things are going. Ah well. I'm working hard at the "consistent" part at least. I've got a 45 day streak of at least 444 words written of fanfic/meta going :D
