Well Ozpin did die at 40-something so this is still relevant to the conversation
Fun fact kids: don't post Oscar memes at 3 am because your brain will be too delirious to decipher whether it's Oscar or Ozpin in the screenshot.

Yes I will elaborate. I just CAN'T give my opinion on anything without rambling for more than 10 min

Like, if someone wants to make a Dumbledore comparison; one of the main difference between these two is that Dumbledore always wanted power and was lured by it, he tried to keep out of his hands because he knew he would cling to it if it was given.
Oz was several times given power, and each time he gave it away willingly. As Ozma 2.0, when he realized that things weren't working out for humanity. As the old wizard, because he realized humanity still had hope even when he lost it and he wanted to express gratitude to the four sisters. As the King of Vale, after years of war to establish peace, because he never wanted that power for himself and gave it away to establish a government as soon as possible. As Ozpin himself, because he trusted Qrow & Raven to help, and thus he gave them shapeshifting powers even if his magic was dangerously dwindling.
Oz only ever takes up positions of power to have the power to help and enact positive change, and he never struggled to give up that power when it was needed or simply the right thing to do.
No shade, you can do whatever you want with your fanon, but the idea of Ozpin only ever wanting power is just so hilarious to me, because i mean have you seen how he dresses
IT'S JUST
IDK
I can't imagine someone who chooses to dress like this only caring about power
Something about mentors learning from their students just as much as they teach them.
(pls reblog if you can? I put so much work into these lol)
And another meme for the road !
I made myself sad with this meme bc I realized that the last box is basically just characters who learnt that disagreeing lead nowhere good and they can't win :) (headcannonish in Tai's case but I just can't see Raven concede a point to anyone in a debate) *holds gently the three* You deserve better.
For clarification :
- Cinder only avoids people who disagree with her in the sense that she kills them. - Maria ain't got time to argue with people and she doesn't care.
- JRP + O are civilized and then there's Nora - RWBY all have different ways of dealing with disagreements so I guess they're balanced in that sense at least
I established the difference between "Their opinion is as valid as mine" & "I will talk to them" in that characters in the latter are firmly convinced to be right and aim to change others' mind. Whereas characters of the former category have their opinions but don't necessarily think they're more right.
Here's a sketch i made quite a while back for the concept of the Oz Squad coming back to life and all having distinct personalities
I'm not entirely sure about my characterisation now because i don't think i was taking that entirely seriously while making this (as evidenced by all the jokes) but it's worth posting
Maybe I'll make more defined sketches for the idea
Now that we know the Golden Guard role was likely Belos’ 100% invention (Wittebro is never shown with that mask, even though such a thing would be VERY important to Philip if he did wear it), who wants to bet the Golden Guard sigil, AKA the Gravesfield crest, was all Belos’ idea as well?
After all, Wittebro doesn’t wear a cloak and while it’s possible he has the Gravesfield insignia stitched onto the back of his shirt... Given how the episode ends with Hunter rejecting the cloak and what it means after working so hard to obtain it, y’know. And I can see Wittebro wanting to leave behind his bigoted past, while Philip desperately clings on.
So he imposes a reminder of Gravesfield onto his brother’s back in a sense; A harsh reminder that this is who you REALLY are, this is where you actually came from, and this is your real home. You’re a witch hunter operating on behalf of Gravesfield; Act like it. And at the same time, Philip is forcing his brother to earn back the right to be considered a member of Gravesfield, of the human community, due to being a traitor who rejected home and consorted with witches, even embracing the imagery of their home in death with a pose that mimics the Titan’s.
And it’s telling that in his attempts to ‘reclaim’ his brother as he should’ve been, Philip made a mask for his clones as Wittebro did to him; Because he wants to start over as kids and have his brother join in the fantasy with him this time. And maybe trying to pay his brother back, in gratitude; Or just relieving himself from the obligation of debt, or flex the reversal of positions and thus power Belos has by being the one to bestow gifts and a masked identity (that defines your role as a witch hunter) this time.
Gonna make some memes for fun in the following days
Enjoy (or not and yell at me for my dubious choices)
