I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I want to bring it out into the open. Each of Oz’s main lieutenants are deconstructions of character archetypes. Well, everyone in RWBY is a deconstruction, but no one wants to talk about Oz’s circle.

Oz, as has been established, turns the fantasy mentor archetype on its head. Not only is he a bad mentor, whose reckless manipulations never pan out, but the protags are far less forgiving of his string-pulling, and have every right to be. Unforgiving, that is.

Ironwood, similarly, deconstructs the ‘Anti-authority authority figure’; like Captain Kirk (Star Trek) or Nick Fury (Marvel), they are military leaders who frequently chaff under their more politically-minded peers and superiors, who undercut those peers whenever they can. Unlike Kirk/Fury, this is not a sign of open-mindedness, but arrogance and stuborness, the childish belief that the rules don’t apply to him.

Qrow is much like Wolverine (X-Men), a ‘Bad Boy with a Gold Heart’ who is kept in line by his loyalty to the mentor figure. In this case, Qrow’s Too Cool For School ‘tude is coping mechanism and mask for the massive chip on his shoulder, and because his self-worth was tied so deeply to serving Oz, when Oz is exposed as the fraud he is, Qrow has a full-on breakdown.

Lionheart was much harder to figure out, given that he only has one volume’s worth of screen time, and even we don’t get much of Lionheart’s personality. I theorize that Lionheart was intended to be a dig at the ‘Token Minority’ archetype. For many series in the old days, there are these characters who supposed to represent different races. (For example, Haji from Johnny Quest). Unfortunately, these characters are rarely given any personality outside of ‘Guy from foreign culture’, often becoming a deliverer of stereotypical views showrunners have. CRWBY has stated that Lionheart was made headmaster by Oz as a token for Faunus (The series allegory for minorities), but we hear nothing of whether that did any good (Blake even accuses Oz of not doing more for the Faunus). It’s possible that because of this Lionheart lacked the strength of self to stop Salem from forcing his compliance with the attacks on Vale and Haven.

Theodore hasn’t appeared in the series proper, but from the book Before The Dawn I could make a case that he encompasses the stock shonen hero; destructive strength and a destructive temper. The problem is, he’s a moron, but lacks that ‘Deeper wisdom’ even himbos like Son Goku and Monkey D Luffy have to compensate. And his dependence on the smarter but weaker female lead (In this case, Rumpole) to handle the more organizational aspects of his position means that when Rumpole is compromised, Theodore’s shoddy management nearly causes Shade Academy to implode.

Years earlier, at Beacon:

Taiyang: *watching Raven stomp out of a secret meeting with Ozpin*

Taiyang: *watching Summer walking out of Ozpin’s office, distressed by secret meeting*

Taiyang: *watching Qrow immediately crack open a drink after receiving a secret mission from Ozpin*

Taiyang: Oz, I don’t know what your secret meetings with my team are about, but I swear, if you cause them any pain I’ll hurt you in the worst way I can!

Ozpin: Mister Xiao-Long, your concerns are noted, but I’m afraid these meetings are need-to-know.

Ozpin: *chuckles* And, to be honest, you don’t frighten me.

Taiyang: *fuming* 😡

—————————————————————��—

Vol 9, in Vacuo:

Raven: *ashamed* …and that’s what happened to Summer that night.

Taiyang: *turns to Oscar* Your secrets cost me TWO relationships, turned Qrow into an alcoholic, and for all I know you’ve gotten my kids killed!

Taiyang: I’m going to make you pay, the only way I know how…

Taiyang: I’m going to fuck your ex!

Ozpin: You wouldn’t dare!

Later…

Taiyang: *with nothing left to lose, banging on Salem’s castle door with no pants on*

Raven: *Taiyang’s ride to the Grimm castle* Somehow, I always thought you would have a hand in the rise of a Dark Lord.

What would we call Taiyang X Salem? Black Ol’ Sun?

#rwby #taiyang xiao long #taiyang x raven #taiyang x summer #Taiyang X Salem #Ozpin #qrow branwen #raven branwen #summer rose #team strq #Tai is either going to be super hurt or PISSED when he hears about Summer’s disappearance

RWBY SPOILER WARNING!!!(?) - Ozpin x Reader

"You... Can't die?"

Ozpin nods. It's almost like he's processing this just as slowly as you are. You think for a while. "You... Come back? In someone else?" You ask again, and he nods. Maybe he can't find the words- maybe he doesn't want to. The only people he's told are you, and the other headmasters. And Glynda and Qrow, of course. But now you.

"You... Can't die." You finally hit it home. He can't die. "... Yes." He whispers quietly. You sit there in silence, the ticking clock in your shared house filling the heavy silence. You open your mouth plenty of times, but are quickly hushed by his saddened look. You finally look up at him, pressing a light kiss to his nose. "... Well. I'm, lost. With a lot of this. But I know... If you die before me," You hold onto his slightly trembling hands.

"I'll find you." You say with a smile, and his brown eyes connect to yours widely. "... You'll what?" He asks quietly. "Find you." You smile wider. Tears slip down his face without him knowing. "Thank you," he whispers breathlessly. "Thank you."

---

"So... Who are we waiting for again?" Oscar asks, his hand grasping the other. "..... Y/N." He says. "Right." Oscar mutters. "How are we... Sure they'll show up?" Oscar trails, and Ozpin doesn't answer. "They will."

The two wait, and wait, and wait. Soon enough, Oscar takes matters into his own hands, bumping into a familiar man who had feather like hair and red eyes.

"Oz?" Qrow asks, and Oz- through Oscar- nods. "Where's Y/N?" He asks, and Qrow swallows down a billion words. "... I don't know." Qrow says. Ozpin widens his eyes. "No, no." Ozpin whines. "No, no, no." Ozpin repeats, his small hands grabbing his brown hair-- no, they weren't his. He didn't want them to be his. He wanted to be in his old body. With his familiar body, familiar habits, familiar people.

Ozpin spent centuries in other people's bodies, but nobody impacted him quite like you. You smiled at him even after he spouted the most insane shit ever. But nothing hurt worse than you being ripped from his grasp. He wasn't even there to see you go. He'd prefer to watch you die, than fear you're out there, slowly dying. Wishing he'd help.

He never was useful, anyway.

Perfect Fit

Scene Prompt - Oz and Qrow go on a shopping date - requested by the lovely @yoomschoocs

Halfway House AU - Qrow Branwen x Ozpin

“Qrow, I already told you, I don’t need to do this,” Oz complained for the umpteenth time that day.

Qrow strolled ahead and opened the door to the boutique. His voice rang out with the bell above the door. “I know, but don’t you want to? Come on, Oz. How long have you been going to these stupid events? Like ten years, now?”

Oz sighed as he walked through the door. “About thirteen, actually.”

“Exactly! And you’ve been wearing that same old suit for all thirteen fucking years. Can’t you try something new? For me?” Qrow put on his best puppy dog eyes.

“Alright, alright, there’s no need for that. We’re already here. Might as well look around.”

Qrow took the victory, grabbing Oz’s hand and sweeping him away to the back of the store where all of the formal wear was displayed. As Oz had no desire to be picking out a new outfit, he let Qrow play fashionista for the day, picking out this tie, grabbing that shirt. Oz would try on whatever made him happy, especially if he would be able to get out of this without purchasing anything. The last thing he needed to do was show up to the community fundraising gala in a thousand dollar suit.

“Here,” Qrow said, shoving a dark green blazer in his hands. “Try this on to start.”

Oz shook his head, but took the jacket without resistance. He put his cane down and tried it on.

Qrow pulled at the sleeves and adjusted the lapel. “Fits perfect. Now we just need…” his sentence trailed off as he walked away. Oz was almost positive that he didn’t even need to be here. Qrow could have done the same with a display mannequin. He returned with the matching pants, a gold tie, black dress shirt, and green paisley vest. “Try on the whole thing.”

Oz smiled, giving his partner an amused side eye. Although he thought hard about it, he decided to forego the snarky quip he was forming and listen to his partner’s wishes. After about a minute, he came back fully dressed up.

“So? How about it? Does it pass the test?”

Oz was trying to be cute, but Qrow looked extremely pensive. Looks like he failed the test after all.

“Not quite. Something seems off.”

“Can I help you find anything?” a voice snuck up on them.

Oz smiled, “No, that’s alright Ms. Adel, we were just looking.”

Qrow crossed his arms. “Actually, maybe you could help…”

Oz could only shake his head, as Qrow had clearly taken his role of ‘fashion director’ very seriously today.

Coco laughed, “Well, if you need suggestions, I have a few.”

Oh dear, Oz thought. Looks like we are going to be here a while.

Oz tried on about a dozen different suits before he landed on one he really liked. As he stepped into the dressing room one last time to take it off, he noticed Qrow and Coco conspiring off to his left. He didn’t think anything of it as he closed the door behind him. Before he could take off the vest, he heard a knock on the dressing room door.

“Oz, wait. We got one more for you.”

Oz sighed, his fatigue starting to set it. He was not ready for Qrow to flip a flowing, silk, emerald green dress over the top of the dressing room.

“Qrow… you must be absolutely joking.”

“Come on, just try it! You never know, you might like it.”

Oz scoffed, “I highly doubt that.”

“So prove me wrong then,” Qrow teased, wiggling it a little, as if begging Oz to take the bait.

“Fine. I will prove you wrong. But we are not buying it.”

“We’ll see,” Qrow sang.

Oz put the dress on out of spite, telling himself that it was not his style. It would never look good on him. Trying it on only meant he could prove Qrow wrong and be done with this ridiculous charade. The one thing he wasn’t ready for was the feeling he got when he saw himself in the mirror. It made him feel… confident.

Heat rose in his cheeks at the thought. Timidly, he pushed the door open and stepped out of the dressing room, cane in hand.

Qrow’s jaw dropped.

“Are you happy now?” Oz teased.

His partner was silent as he slowly walked up to him, his movements cautious like Oz might run away if he moved too suddenly.

Oz sighed, “I knew it, this is ridiculous, we don’t have to-”

“No! Oz, no, I- I just- holy shit.” Qrow’s smile grew so big, his excitement was palpable.

I haven’t seen him smile like that in a long time.

“Oz, you look incredible, you have to buy it, please? Please.”

Anticipation soaked through Qrow’s eyes as he scanned Oz up and down, desperation dripping from every word. How on Remnant was Oz supposed to say no?

Oz sighed, “Alright, fine. I surrender.” Oz gently lifted Qrow’s chin with his finger, forcing their eyes to meet as Oz whispered, “But only so I can see that look on your face again.”

Flufftober 2023

Day 1: Waking up to broken wall of blankets [Reader x Qrow Branwen] {RWBY}

A pounding head was nothing new to Qrow, especially since he woke up to frequent hangovers. But having something warm and soft nestled in his arms was more than a little startling. Instead of freaking out however, Qrow just tried remembering what happened last night. This could be some poor chic he picked up while on mission after all.

She, or rather they, wouldn't know what's going on or why their companion was freaking out, right?

Before he could get his mind fully up and running, you woke up and violently shoved away. Knocking yourself clean off the bed and just about dragging Qrow with you. Though part of that was his fault for attempting to cling.

Peeking over the edge of the bed, "You okay there [Name]? I can't smell that bad..."

"We had a fail-safe for this bird brain!"

You were a little salty and aggressive due to being completely rejected by Qrow multiple times, though Ozpin seemed determined to keep the two of you together. It was becoming quite the cruel irony that Qrow of all people was trying to be lighthearted about the situation. Even if you were secretly thrilled to be tucked in his arms like that.

"Oh yeah, that massive wall of blankets you insisted on having." He scratched his chin, "Y'know, since it didn't work..."

"Don't, please." Qrow's eyes followed you around, confused as sin, "Don't get my hopes up like that. You know how I feel about you. And I know how you feel about me. So just don't try to 'fix' it like this. I'll only get hurt that way."

"Sorry." He muttered as you gathered your gear, "I just... I didn't... I wasn't thinking."

"Clearly."

Looking at the blanket fort around himself, Qrow realized he had broken through the wall. He had been the one seeking comfort and human warmth. He was the one wanting you closer. Not the other way around. He couldn't ignore it anymore, but he knew that saying so would hurt you.

He didn't want you getting hurt too. Not like this anyways.

"So you just didn't tell them?" Glenda frowned, "You do know Oz is trying to help you after what happened, right?"

Qrow didn't answer, growling softly from behind his flask. He didn't want help, he was a wreck. This wasn't something anyone could fix or make him any less of a failure than he is.

"You can't just ignore this forever. They genuinely-"

"They'll move on." Qrow snapped, "It's not like I wanted it to go that way! But I don't need them around alright."

The way Glenda's eyes flashed over Qrow's shoulder told him exactly what he didn't want to know. You had walked in, and only heard the last thing he just said. This was going to be a pain to deal with... especially on the next mission in a couple days.

Would Qrow ever get tired of waking up with a splitting, hangover headache? He knew he should, but for a few hours he could forget... everything.

Well, almost everything. The warm figure in his arms made him painfully aware of how lonely he truly felt.

How easy it would be to let you in his life permanently.

This time, you only groaned as you sat up. It was getting old, you would just have to tell Oz you couldn't work with Qrow like this anymore. No matter how well you two worked together in the field, your heart couldn't take this much longer.

"[Name], I'm sorry." You barely turned, apologies from Qrow weren't normal but you weren't in a good mood, "I keep drunkenly breaking through your blanket walls. It's just me being an a$$hole, ignoring my own feelings, and hurting you in the process."

You paused with the straps of your weapon holster, "Who are you and what have you done with Qrow Branwen?"

"It was what I was talking about with Glenda a few days ago." Qrow couldn't face you, instead just getting dressed, "I know you haven't said anything about what you heard, but I didn't... I wasn't trying to say it as bad as it sounded. It was more frustration at Oz. Assigning us like this all the time."

Going back to your gear, "You won't have to worry about that too much longer. I'm going to ask Oz to stop."

"That's not what I meant!"

"But you don't need anyone, right?"

Qrow slumped forward, "Maybe it's not about need, but I clearly want you around. I keep breaking through your blanket walls to cuddle you after all. So..."

"You never asked anyone out before, have you?" You couldn't help but smirk over this, "Or maybe you're just smoother when you're drunk."

He couldn't do more than stutter, this situation wasn't ideal but at least you didn't seem mad at him anymore. Though this would take some getting used to, that was certain.

For the controversial ship asks: 👅👎💤💘💦

👅: Ironwitch and Alchemical Dragon

👎: So noting that the show might be over, I can’t really see Ren and Nora still being a thing. Considering how shitty Nora has been to Ren, I don’t see them staying as a couple.

💤: Jaune and Pyrrha, it’s just Jaune is Jaune and I think he could be handled well if he wasn’t trying esclipe the whole story and Miles understood that. And poor Pyrrha so got done so badly!

💘: Freezer Burn, James x Sleep x Therapy (also for Tai, Qrow, and Oz), Midnight Sun, and Pyrrha and Weiss

💦: Okay so I ship Raven and Cinder because it’s funny. I just imagine that Watts and Salem put in get along shirt and we watch as these idiots,

If y’all have any more questions:

"The writers aren't going to listen to their fans, because they can't even be bothered to listen to their own staff, because they "learned their lesson" to "listen to their gut" and "stick to their guns," and to ignore anybody who tries to educate their CisHet White Male selves on the matters of positive and accurate representation. Not just queer, but with everything. It happened with Jaune>Ruby, it happened with the White Fang, it happened with Emerald, it happened with Flynt Coal, it happened with Jaune>Ruby again, it happened with Yang, it happened with Cinder, it happened with Tyrian, it happened with Jaune>Ruby again, it happened with Pilot Boi, it happened with Ghira, it happened with Blake, it happened with Leo, it happened with Ilia, it happened with Sienna, it happened with Adam, it happened with Oz, it happened with Salem, it happened with Jaune>Ruby again, it happened with Terra Cotta, it happened with Ironwood, it happened with Marrow, it happened with Elm, it happened with Vine, it happened with Harriet, it happened with Clover, it happened with Qrow, it happened with Winter, it happened with Penny, it happened with Jaune>Ruby again - over and over and over and over and over, the fans have spent the past ten years explaining exactly how and why [X problem] was actually a real, tangible problem, with the writers either blatantly ignoring it, or hand-waving it away with vague and empty promises to "be better about it," only to pull the exact same shit all over again.

Ten years of hundredth chances, ten years of patient (or in some cases, not so patient, which is why we get villainized) adherence to the "Just Wait" rule, ten years of practically begging to see even tiny improvements only to be left hanging (or worse, to be directly baited as Eddy admitted happened with Fair Game, and then to be attacked directly by crwby itself and treated as if we were "just imagining things" and that we were "just horny salty fanboys" and that "it's not bait if we never intended to canonize the worm in the first place" and that it's our fault we were foolish enough to think Rooster Teeth would include queer rep and tentatively bit down on the hook) ten years of having it be PROVEN to us that the people who do most of the writing for RWBY write it specifically with a White Straight Male audience in mind, because at the time of RWBY's creation, data shows that Rooster Teeth's fanbase was 93% Male identified and 7% Female identified, and the separate demographic that was attracted solely to RWBY itself was just basically bonus income on top of that."

I saw this and I think it's a good showcase of an older RWBY critics. So let this be a lesson to the RWBY stans who not so coincidentally sound exactly the same.

For those who don't know what they're referring to, an old RWBY AMA on Reddit had this from Miles-

"-Boi howdy, did that take us by surprise. There's always a background character that gets super popular. Last season it was the Waitress. This season it was Pilot Boi and Cute Faunus Guard. Interesting story, we originally had a line for the Pilot that subtly told the audience he had a boyfriend back in Atlas (this was done in our attempt to get better about having more LGBTQ+ representation). However, when scripts went out to the team, a number of crew members were concerned that our first homosexual character with a line of dialogue addressing his sexuality was going to die in the very next episode and was "also kind of a selfish jerk". Soooo, we scrapped the line. Next thing we know, he's the most popular character of the volume and we're kicking ourselves for not sticking to our guns."

And the whole spiel is about how they wanted to keep Pilot as LGBT due to his popularity even though he's bAd rEP. Except that what makes bad representation (being stereotypical, being one dimensional ect.) makes a bad character IN GENERAL. It's why bad writers, no matter their subgroup, can't write good representation- You have to be a good writer. And given that Pilot Guy was so prevelant in Volume 5, he clearly resonated with/entertained so many people. So making him LGBT would have made a fan favorite LGBT, making it far more likely he'd be accepted. That's what happened with Illa. It's what happened with May.

But then, they don't care about the writing. Read it again- they care that the people don't have the right fucking genitals or melatonin content. Or rather, they don't get what they want EXACTLY when they want it. So they lash out like selfish children, crying about how thy don't get their cookie until after dinner. Except they DID get their cookie and they're being a greedy shithead.

Example? OP's own fucking examples.

Jaune>Ruby? Only happened in Volume 1...in the most shallow way possible (given that Ruby herself was a big part of JAUNE'S OWN ARC). Volume 2 gave her the involvement with the actual plot as well as her moment with Penny, Volume 3 gave her Penny's death, Pyrrha's death and being the driving force behind THE REST OF THE SHOW and Jaune got...a half baked arc that was made about Ruby in the only Volume where it got more than a episode (Volume 4).

The White Fang? Basically just "FUCK YOU FOR NO SUPPORING MY POLITICS!" With said politics being "Let me be as racist as a person from the 1920's.'

Emerald? Basically 'HOW DARE YOU MAKE A VILLAIN DARK SKINNED?!' while ignoring that she was a better person than her white cohorts (Roman, Mercury, Cinder).

Flynt Coal? Calling racism over a name (because 'black black')...while ignoring the German 'White White' girl.

Yang? That they skipped over her character arc...then gave her the lion's share of Volume 5 which they ignored because Jaune got mad at the woman who murdered his best friend for nothing was right there.

Cinder? Talking about her being a bland villain...which got shot and killed in Volumes 7 and 8.

Tyrian? Something something 'psychopath is offensive to people with mental disorders'. Completely ignoring LEGITIMATE PSYCHOPATHS..

Pilot Boy? See above.

Ghira? Something about him not being allowed to be seen as competent. ... Even though they accept Sienna being competent despite doing ACTIVE harm because Blake said so...in the same monologue saying Ghira was just as effective and more stable, just slower.

Blake? Her acting 'like a bitch' in Volume 4 despite the very clear reason of 'I just went through tramuatic events and am going through an arc.'

Leo? That having a Fanaus headmaster be a villain was racist. Even though he was still better than every other villain not named 'Emerald' present. He even got a shot in against Raven.

Illa? Psycho Lesbian...right in front of Adam 'Wannabe Racial Supremacist' Taurus. Also got redeemed and everyone went mysteriously quiet, almost like no one wanted to own up to their bullshit.

Sienna? See the WF section and add in racism accusations because Indonesians can't handle a fictional character dying apparently.

Adam? See WF section AGAIN.

Ozpin? Calling out the CRWBY for having the leader of the good guys preaching trust keeping VERY IMPORTANT secrets because 'uwu sad backstory'...after spending three years calling him the true secret bad guy.

Salem? Something about her not being a good villain because generic, cookie cutter complaints that really mean 'You will never appease us, slave.'

Terra Arc-Cotta? 'Racism' 'Why?' 'Fuck you!!!'

Ironwood? Some bullshit excuse about prosthetics that fails when you look at everyone with prosthetics which is just a cover for 'Gimmie my husbando or else.'

Elm, Harriet, Vine, Marrow? See above because no one talks about them outside of being an extension of James.

Clover and Qrow? 'We decided they were gay which not even half of the LGBT fanbase saw so you did a bad.'

20 swings, all misses.

This is not some grand outlier either. I have seen HUNDREDS, if not a THOUSAND criticisms. I have seen about a couple dozen stragglers and a half dozen consistent producers of good criticism...of which only THREE (Faboover, that Whitely Blog and Dual) are still around.

It's all just entitlement. 'You dared to ascertain your ownership over something you made so now I will bully you into compliance.'

As OP would say, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Tens of thousands of chances on hitting a fucking t-ball. They always miss, split their head open on the bat and then try suing for damages after proclaiming themselves so much better than the coach.

Fair Game is a perfect example. Nothing was explictly romantic...or even implictedly. It was just some guys bonding. I have seen actual ship baiting (Amorshipping from Pokemon) and Fair Game does not fit. People picked up on some flirty animation that the WRITERS didn't intend for, used a character for their purpose and people shat themselves. Blaming them for YOUR immaturity is fucking disgusting.

But hey, this is how the crowd has ALWAYS worked. Don't give them what they want immediately? 'Kill yourself, Monty hates you.' Give them a background couple? 'Give us a major character, kill yourself.' Give them a tragic villain with a defined personality? 'Psycho Lesbian, kill yourself.' Give them a couple with a child? 'Doesn't count, kill yourself.'

Time after time after time after time after time- They demand shit by using their DEAD FRIEND as a soapbox and bludgeon and then move the goalposts so they can threaten and attack them.

We know this for a fact- the Camp Camp blog incident provided the psychos.

Oh did you think I forgot? Silly little fragile hypocrite- I will never forget.

You fucks are some of the most psychotic pieces of shit I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. I also remember how the very SECOND you got push back, that you had to eat your own shit for once, you cried foul.

No matter what you fucks try, I will not forget. And you will NEVER escape your bullshit.

You don't deserve to be listen to. You deserve every little bit of pettiness and disdain...times a hundred.

P.S. They do mention the Glassdoor incident...for half a paragraph.

"ACTUAL LIVING PEOPLE got hurt? Eh...BU WHAT ABOUT MY EGO?!"

What little things/habits do your OTP like about each other, that would be a reminder of loss if they ever separated?

Thank you so much for all the OTP questions XD I wanted to answer this one first because it actually helped me figure out my plot problem 😆 I also loved this question in general!

(For Oz x Qrow in my RWBY AU)

For Qrow, he would not be able to see or hear or think about hot cocoa or certain types of sweets without thinking of Oz. He always thought it was cute and always knew Oz was around if he saw his mug sitting out, so that would hit hard if they ever broke up.

For Oz, he would miss his teasing and use of silly nicknames and such. Qrow calls Oz any variation of "King" or "Wizard" all the time, so much that it rubbed off and the kids now call him that, too, when they want to tease him. He usually doesn't mind and thinks it's funny, but if they broke up it would probably start to hurt.

(For my plot problem) The nickname thing jogged a memory of a name that Qrow uses exactly one (1) time, and I had completely forgotten about it until I tried to answer this question 😂 so thank you again for that haha

This ask motivated me to write 205 words for Home is Where Your Light Shines Brightest.

Experiment Total: 76,297

oscar, i don't hate him! i understand he's an important character... but like, aside from his interactions w/ oz, team jnr n emerald, i can't really find it in me to care abt him. he just isn't that interesting to me tbh. i also feel this way w/ taiyang, watts and the ace ops

The character I love that everyone else hates:

cinder, problematic women are fun idgaf xD

The character I used to love but don’t any longer:

tyrian, but only bc he did so little in v8 and then left abruptly, mercury as well, hopefully that'll change when we see him again in v10

A pairing that I love:

white rose and bumbleby, mainly wr cuz it was my first rwby ship and i just adore their relationship and chemistry in general

i'm also a fan of hummingbird, rose bird, snowfall, knightmare, jnpr berries, pyrruby, schneekos, silent knight (jaune x neo), emerald forest and mint chocolate (coco x emerald)

A pairing that I despise:

rose/garden, white/knight and fair/game, no offense to those who ship it i just... don't want it 😖

Relationship dynamics really are my favorite part of this AU and I love the help with developing them 😆 if you guys are curious: Jaune x Pyrrha, and Blake x Yang could also use some help with development! I'd really appreciate the chance to talk about them 🤗

And, obviously, I'm always down to talk about Oz x Qrow, but all that's been in my head for a while! Not as much development, more just learning/having fun with those two 😆

what’s your NOTP when it comes to your muse?

I cant believe I have to say this, but none of Qrow with any of his kiddos. RWBY, JNOR, anyone in their age grouping is off the table. If someone could have been his student, he is not interested. Also, I'm not a fan of Oz/Qrow. I view that relationship as purely mentor/mentee, and again the power dynamic creates icky vibes.

what’s something that immediately turns you off from shipping with someone?

I really am not a fan when everything in the ship ends up being about fucking. I love it when muses cannot keep their hands off each other. But not everything should revolve around the bedroom. I also dont like the ship becoming purely about one character's angst, or another character's desire to fix the person. If there's nothing dynamic to the types of threads we do, I lose interest really fast.

what’s the first ship you played?

The very first ship I ever rp'd was a hetalia ship. I logged onto Omegle and started a aph!France x aph!America rp. dont fucking judge me, it was 2012.

Cloqwork wedding

The proposal:

They are both completely surrounded by Grimm in a forest.

Oz: okay we need to think this through...*going through strategies*

Qrow: Hey oz catch! *throws a box*

Oz: *surprised, catches the box, opens it and finds a ring. Looks at Qrow in shock*

Qrow: *shy, hopeful smile* Deal with me forever?

Oz: *bright red, smiles* forever... *frowns and looks at the Grimm around them* But we have a situation

Qrow: *chuckles* than let's take em down, partner

Oz: *chuckles* of course, partner.

The wedding:

They just go back to Beacon, because why wait and tell Glynda. Who (after face-palming) agrees to officiate it... Right in the middle of lunch.

They both wear the same clothes as usual but are wearing flower crowns in the others colour scheme... They both zone out till the vows.

Qrow: Oz... When I met you I was a piece of shit. I was practically the scum of the earth... Don't give me that look.

Oz: I will if you keep talking bad about yourself.... I thought this was abt me?

Qrow: shhh lemme finish. When I met you, I never thought of anyone but myself..that all I was, was bad luck *softens*. But meeting you...was like seeing the sun for the first time. You showed me that there was something more to me, that I had a purpose in this world. You gave me friends, the freedom to travel the world and do whatever I wanted. *holds his hand*I love you, and your werid adrenaline rushes... I love you and your dorky outfits and the glasses I got you as a joke... But the best thing you gave me and what I love about the most... was that you gave me a home when I had none. Somewhere to return to after long days, a shoulder to cry on and so much more.. Oz, You've done so much for me and I want to spend my life repaying the favour because you are my home, you're where I'll always return to... and I love you for that.

Oz: *bright red and tearing up* Qrow... How do I follow that. *He chuckles and Qrow smirks*

Qrow: Well I'm waiting for it.

Oz: Qrow....Meeting you was like falling off a cliff... Exhilarating, fun and probably dangerous.

Qrow: *laughs* That's one way of putting it.

Oz: Buy I never regretted letting you into my life *softens* .You've quite literally destroyed every wall I put up... Every facade and got to know me. Something few ever have, you showed me the world... You showed me that life was meant to be lived. I feel safe when I'm with you, smiling becomes as easy as breathing....you've made a home in my heart and I never want to let you go. I love you, how your dramatic when you don't get attention, how you steal my dorky clothes... I love you more than I've thought was possible. And I want to stand by your side for the end of time.

Qrow: *tearing up as well*

Glynda: and with that... by the power vested in me I name you husband and husband. You may now kiss.

Oz and Qrow: *wrap their arms around each other and kiss*
