Hot take: Ozpin isn't even morally gray. I guess he is if you count past lives (slaughtering potentially thousands of ppl to end a war), but otherwise?? I really don't think he is.

Imo, Qrow is more morally gray, Ironwood pre-villain arc was morally gray, etc. I really don't think any of Oz's actions could count as 'morally gray', even when considering that he kept important information to keep his circle and by extension RWBY and Co hopeful, regardless of if you think it's manipulative or not (technically yes, but there was good intentions behind it so imo it's fundamentally different).

Oz really isn't the bad guy the entire fndm tries making him out to be. If he was I think the show would show him in that light, which it doesn't. It TRIED showing him as morally gray, but generally his actions aren't that bad. The FNDM loves saying Oz is an awful manipulative compulsive liar who's intentions are weird and muddy. But honestly I think if he was like that, he wouldn't be portrayed as good. Most of Salems own opinions on Oz is her projecting and being a hypocrite. I don't think the characters narration is reliable when it comes to Oz. The show itself tried making him seem like that in v6, but ultimately failed.

An example people use to say he's morally gray is pointing out that he made the Academies. Which, I won't lie, is a pretty stupid take. The Academies train older teenagers (17-21, possibly older if they allow older ppl to join) who have already been learning how to fight presumably since they were young. Ruby had presumably already had Crescent Rose for a few years by the time she was 15, and there's several combat schools to teach kids how to fight. Remnantians count as a warrior race! They HAVE to fight to survive. Even if you haven't been to an academy, it's normal to know how to fight to defend against Grimm. Controlled by Salem or not, Grimm are a constant that you NEED to fight against. The Academies just give widespread access to tools and education to learn in a safe environment filled with other hunters. They just so happen to fight off Salems Grimm forces, and unknowingly defend the Relics inside. It's a win-win-win on everyone's side. Yes, people are going to die. But they'd be MORE likely to die if a) they can't defend themselves properly b) don't have proper tools to do so or c) don't know how to fight at ALL. Thanks to the Academies, militaries don't need to be used (except Atlas). The possibility of war goes WAY down, and it's harder for the kingdoms to be actively corrupt (not impossible just less easier to be enforced). Objectively? The Academies are a GOOD thing.

Another example is people saying Oz brought RWBY and Co unwillingly into the shadow war. Which... is objectively incorrect. Qrow was the one who told Ruby about the information Cinder and Co were going to attack Haven, and Yang eventually went after her after she left. Ruby brought RNJR with her, because they all experienced trauma and reasonably wanted justice, thinking it was just Cinder behind everything. Then Qrow was the one who told RNJR roughly the truth. He didn't particularly want to, bit he relented anyways, and even then he held back information like Oz being immortal. He didn't even tell them about Salem, just that some nasty people wanted the Relics and Maiden powers and that one of them was named Salem. I guess you could count Ruby being brought into Beacon early, but even then that was the SAFEST option. If Cinder or Roman noticed her silver eyes in ep 1 and that got back to Salem, Ruby would be FUCKED. She was already involved in fighting Roman at that point, and thus would likely get targeted again, silver eyes or not. So Oz brought her in, citing her skill as the reason, while the others likely knew the truth. Qrow OR tai wouldn't have been fine with it if Oz only brought her in to put her into the circle. They would've torn him a new one. Not only that, but obviously he DIDN'T KNOW about the upcoming fall of Beacon. He genuinely thought Ruby and her team was going to be fine for the next 4 years, and when he was starting to suspect something was up, he STILL had no idea the Academy was going to be attacked during the festival. Why would he?? A direct attack isn't typical of Salem, iirc he or someone else said it themselves, especially since it had been 80 or so years since the Great War, which is implied that Salem started. Even IF he wanted to bring her in, he would've waited until after she graduated, which is what happened with STRQ and was going to happen with CVFY. Oz places an emphasis on letting them be kids for as long as possible. He only had to involve them when Qrow already told them everything. And even then, Oz repeatedly gave RWBY and JNR an out. He DID NOT WANT them involved, not yet at least. And with Pyrrha, he didn't exactly have a choice. He gave her time they didn't have, and required her to wait n think, and then needed her verbal consent WHILE BEACON WAS BEING ATTACKED. Yes telling her stressed her out, but I think if she knew the same thing could be offered to anyone else, she'd prefer to take on that burden. It wasn't fair, but it visibly pained Oz to have to give her the choice. He didn't want to, but war is never fair. He would've had to go to SOMEONE regardless.

As for Oz keeping the truth that Salem can't be killed a secret, imo, that is a very VERY hard call for anyone to make. For him it was the option of: tell them immediately and not have any allies (something he values heavily) or have them join Salem out of fear, wait first and tell them later and have them possibly freak out like Ironwood/betray him/lose hope and thus not have any allies, or never tell them so he has important allies and they possibly don't betray him or lose hope. Obviously, he chose the last option, and it's entirely possible he wanted to, eventually, tell them the truth, but we just don't know that. Of course I agree that Oz should've told his circle anyways, but for someone as traumatized and paranoid as Oz who's had to make this decision countless times, you can't exactly fault him for keeping the truth hidden. He's likely told the entire truth before and it bit him in the ass several times before he finally decided to keep it hidden. He said it himself, Leo was NOT the first nor was the last to betray him. As for not telling RWBY and Co? They're CHILDREN he's barely known for, what, a year?? And all of that he was their teacher/Headmaster who didn't often interact with them, or their mentor. He barely knew them and as far as we know, didn't get the chance to actually know and get close to them. They already knew just how dangerous Salem was from the fall of Beacon and battle of haven, plus the fact that she controls Grimm. They could've easily assumed Salem was hard to kill at LEAST since she's immortal and been around for countless thousands of years, and there's no way they thought no one tried to kill her. Oz barely knew them and they almost proved him right by nearly giving up. Plus, he was FRESHLY betrayed at that point. I'm sure yall noticed he was immediately pretty closed off due to the revelation of Leo's betrayal. He genuinely considered Leo a friend, so Oz's trauma response is to hold everyone else at arms length.

Another thing is the fact that he hid the truth from Salem as well early on in their relationship. Thing is, Jinn (a presumably reliable narrator) stated that they BOTH hid things from the other. Salem likely didn't tell him that she lied and manipulated kingdoms into turning against the gods, just that she wanted him back and the gods didn't like that bc that ABSOLUTELY would've upset Oz. Oz, knowing Salem didn't like the gods from her story, likely decided right then to keep the full truth from her, worried she wouldn't react well to it, something anyone would do. Not only that, but right after, Salem convinced, possibly manipulated, Oz into acting as a god-king with her, something he clearly didn't want to do. Jinn herself said "the hearts of men are easily swayed" as Salem convinced him to become a God-king with her. So yes, it's very possible that Salem manipulated him into doing that. "But Salem was fine with the truth later when he told her!" Yes, she was, but Oz couldn't have known that. And the whole reason he tried to leave her was because Salem was turning into a dictator tyrant, something Oz didn't want and something Salem was set on. He did overreact a little bit by bringing the kids instead of communicating with her, but it wasn't his fault that Salem immediately attacked him instead of trying to talk to him, or at least waiting until the kids were in a safe place before attacking him. Most of this wasn't Oz's fault, if any of it. Salem overreacted heavily by attacking him with the kids being react there. Had Oz and the kids lived and escaped her, they would've been TERRIFIED of Salem afterwards, traumatized by the ordeal. And it's never shown that Salem actually cared that they died, just that they "could've had freedom", blaming Oz instead. Meanwhile Oz, afterwards, spent whole LIVES drowning his sorrow and regret and trauma in alcohol, and he's clearly STILL affected by it if Salem using the silhouettes of their children is any indication, since she was likely taunting him (but also reminiscing, regardless of her feelings on the matter) and never brought up their children in any matter.

Overall I really don't think Oz is as bad as the fandom says he is. People like to think he and Salem are the same (something i might make a post on later), when they're very, very different. Oz really isn't bad, he's just traumatized and is basing current events off of past experiences. He's far from manipulative, uncaring, or really any negative adjective I've seen people describe him as. I've probably missed some things, but my point has been made I think. The fndm really likes to misinterpret Oz's character, saying he's exactly like Dumbledore, but in reality he's a subversion of characters like Dumbledore. He's a seriously good guy, and I think people miss that.

It appears that the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated --

Had a dream about this Ozpin Lives AU + Lore/backstory rewrite, and for some reason despite all the time that's passed since I last even thought about RWBY, I was overcome with the compulsion to draw him again so here he is in this design I tweaked for him.

Maybe if it's requested enough or I am suddenly overtaken by insanity, I'll sit down and actually do a lil write up for how I picture this AU and rewrite to go.

In the meantime though take this bit of nostalgia from yours truly.

EDIT: read about the Ozpin Lives AU here

Yang: Ruby! I need light!

Ruby: Roger that! *Use her silver eyes power to make light*

Oscar(ozpin): *from afar* It's nice that she finally can use her power freely... But i feel like she make a travesty of it.

Qrow: Don't you remember how summer used it? We had a literal discotech at the dance back in Beacon.

@ozqrowweek 2023 Day 7: Free Day

And so we eventually reach the final day! For this day, I wanted to draw Oz and Qrow being old and happy 'cause it's what they deserveeee @yoomschoocs and I sure put a lot of love and effort into this day, so we hope you enjoy this one as much as we do! In this artwork, I did the sketch and lineart, and Yoom did the coloring and shading! You madlad ily <3 Here are some closeups with small explanations 'cause boi I packed a lot of thoughts and whatnots in here-

Naturally, as one gets older they get less mobile. For Oz it got to the point where he felt more comfortable going on longer walks with a wheelchair rather than just his cane.

Throughout the years they have made a lot of memories, so they made sure to highlight a few. The first picture is of Penny and Ruby on their honeymoon. The second is of the Bees schnees family, a picture with their kid Blue Jay. Next to that is Oz and Qrow with their service dog, Bolt, trained for anxiety and ptsd. In the bottom left, there is a picture of Glynda, Oscar and Ozpin. In which Oscar became the official headmaster of Beacon. Good job me boy! Then on the right there's a lil beeb Ozpin with his dad <3 On the cabinet, there's a birb that Oz crocheted for Qrow. Modelled after one of Qrow's past birbs, Petey. Next to him lie Oz and Qrow's childhood plushies. Oz's teddy bear, accompanied by Qrow's stuffed bird plushie, accurately named "Birdy".

Here, you can see jars of all kinds of things Qrow has collected from different areas. And some objects that Oz values. There are also pictures of young team rwby, Tai and Glynda. There is also a framed paw print of Bolt next to Tai's picture, with a pink Incarnation laying beside them. On the plank below there are pictures of team STRQ and Beacon.

Current theory on the whole ozpin turned qrow and Raven into birds thing is that he actually cursed them to be birds as like a fairy tale lesson kinda thing

However whatever the lesson was Raven and Qrow just REFUSED to learn it and tai and summer were way to chill about having two bird teammates (I think tai just used to really likes birds) so it just went on like that

They’d gasslight every teacher because “what do you mean??? our whole team is here??” And ozpin would back them up because if they got sent to him he couldn’t tell them they were wrong

It stop’s because Qrow and Raven keep stealing ozpins food and they keep the bird turning ability as a side effect

“I’ve made a lot of mistakes” he says he just means he shouldn’t have turned ruby’s uncle into something airborne

Just couldn’t resist the opportunity of siblings named after animals

And you know what? Neither could I that’s so fair

RWBYxJSR: Qrow Branwen

Ex student of the same artschool Ruby attends, ex graffiti artist, now owner of a tattoo studio, friend of Ozpin and Ruby's uncle, Qrow Branwen is the one who let this group happen.

He teached Ruby how to skate and do cool tricks, and seeing that she had formed a group of people who also wanted to be street artists, he allowed Ruby and her friends to use the back of his studio (which is also a garage) as the group's base. They spend their afternoons there, and thanks to Qrow's knowledge abt the streets and being a graffiti artist in line skates, they know where and when to go out!

Ozpin: Okay Qrow, you’re going to get the relics back from Salem and Cinder!

Qrow: This sounds dangerous! Why do I have to do it?

Ozpin: Because Oscar’s too young and I’m too smart.

Qrow: Oh. Well, okay.

Qrow: …wait.
