rating different ozpins out of 10

There's a lot of them. Long post ahoy.

Volume 1: pale ass man. flings his students into Grimm-infested forests and does not give a FUCK. not actually listening to anyone half the time my autistic king. despite the limited animation, you look into this man's eyes and you can tell he's secretly a little shit (affectionate). 9/10

Volume 2: I was gonna put a screenshot of his face and talk about how much better the lighting is in this volume but I saw this on the wiki and this man has NO ASS. He has NO CAKE. the dilf caring mentor vibes this volume are off the charts yet i can't get over this shot. 4/10 the no ass really hurts him

Volume 3: Colourful lighting, soft gaze, blorbo burdened by the weight of his sins. Not so pale that it hurts to look at. His mischievous demeanour is gone in place of sad immortal old man vibes. A shame to see the silly go, but I love a man with flaws who tries his genuine best to do good. 8/10

Volume 5: This part of the OP was always so jarring to me. The silly has returned but they flattened him and it looks odd. Is he doing the :3 face? 2/10 for hiding it in profile.

Volume 6: The first Ozpin in Maya! Unfortunately, he has to contend with the original Ozma this episode, and sadly his one second of sad old man hours kind of gets outshined by fucking. everything his past incarnations go through. Nice to see him in model again though. 6/10 (Ozma is like. 10/10 btw)

Volume 9: this isn't even ozpin. -100000/10.

Chibi: This is peak. I don't even care anymore. I'll say it. RWBY chibi is the peak of rwby content and I'm tired of pretending it's not. this man is the embodiment of silly. he would :3 and he would have the decency to look at the camera when he does. if this oz ever met salem... okay he'd probably make things a lot worse but it would be really funny. 11/10

Ice Queendom: ∞/10 daddy? sorry. daddy? sorry. daddy? sorry. da

This one render: what are you scheming about you shifty little fucker. this is the face of a man who has done something to mildly inconvenience you and he's waiting for you to realise it. gay ass smirk. i appreciate it for bringing back mischievous ozpin in the maya engine but there is something about this i do not trust. 6/10

(bonus) the exact same render but in this thumbnail with his ex wife: 9.5/10. Salem addition really brings out the best in this one. Ozlem in a romcom. He gets pegged and he's proud of it.

Volume 3 japanese poster: eh. it could be better. I don't sense the silly OR the sad old man OR the fuckable mentor in this one. 1/10.

Volume 6 poster: YEAARGHHH THATS WHAT I CALL ANGST, BABY!!!! 11/10!!!!

Viz manga: with this and ice queendom, the jp side of rwby understands how to make an ozpin that appeals to me, specifically. 20/10.

Playing card: the hand in his pocket. the other hand resting lazily on his cane like it's a fucking samurai sword. the slightly cocky smirk. this is Ozpin after spending a day with the Branwen Twins. a young raven and qrow saw this and thought he was the coolest fucking dude ever (he is not). was going to rank it a bit lower but due to my headcanon going straight to ozpin and bird twins I like it. 8/10

this shirt: i would comment more if i could see. 3/10?? he looks sad i think which is nice

DC Comics: PUT THAT FUCKING MOP HAIR BACK!!! -10/10!!! YOU GIVE QROW HIS HAIR GEL BACK RIGHT NOW MISTER

RWBY/JL: this is an imposter. his hair looks like fits on his head like lego figure hair. -2/10

conclusion: i want him to whimper.

Good news, my copy of this book arrived today:

Bad news: I don’t have a scanner, so the only pics I have were taken on my phone while struggling to hold the book open. I've attempted to keep light from reflecting off the pages in annoying places.

Although even if I did have a scanner I wouldn't have time to scan everything, this book is almost 350 pages long. Not all of it is art worth scanning, there's a fair amount of screenshots from Volumes 1 to 8 too.

The pics I have managed to take so far are under a read more cut because there's over 20 of them. Mostly Yang because she's my fav, but a fair few of team RWBY as a whole, and some of Blake, and a couple of Raven. And Jaune photobombs a couple of times too. Oh, and how can I forget Zwei? He might steal this post by being too cute.

Art from the covers.

Height charts including heels. It seems Blake’s heels from Volume 7 onwards are an inch shorter than in Volume 4 to 6.

Yang and Jaune modelling Beacon’s uniform.

Zwei concept art, showing him morphing from a lil blob.

Blake concept art, I'm not sure I've seen the bits about what's under her coat before.

Early map of Remnant. Interesting place names, but Signal isn't on Patch but elsewhere, so this isn't a final version. I wouldn't rely on it as a reliable source for writing fic.

Weiss, Blake and Yang concept art, including early versions of their emblems.

Volume 4 to 6 team RWBY.

Volume 7 onwards team RWBY.

Hoverbike chase and backgrounds concept art.

Volume 7 onwards Blake and Yang.

Yang showing off her moves. I can't help but imagine her doing this on that night off dancing with Blake, even if I think she'd look happier.

Blake T posing turnaround.

Blake showing off her moves.

Yang and her fiery punch.

Raven’s bandit camp, excuse my fingers. Oddly enough I think it's using the outline of Yang in her DGAS outfit as a reference for scale inside the tent. She certainly seems to be lacking her right arm below the elbow.

Yang retrieving the Relic of Knowledge.

Raven outside Haven's Vault.

Yang slamming her fists together.

Yang’s turn to T pose.

Blake T posing again.

Raven joining in with T posing.

That's all I've got, apart from a couple of things for separate posts. This one is more than long enough. Let me know if there's anything you're hoping to see from this book, and I'll see if I can share it. You might be better off hoping someone else has the book and a scanner.

[itsclydebitches]

IM SCREAMING, THEY SAW RUBY COMMIT MAGICAL SUICIDE AND JUST WENT ON THEIR MERRY WAY. WHAT IS WITH THIS SHOW AND REFUSING TO SHOW CHARACTERS EXPERIENCING EMOTIONAL REACTIONS TO THINGS HELP. The only emotions we get are Ruby's little fit and Jaune's paper thin depiction of PTSD. I'm gonna scream!

I think I'm in shock about it? I cannot stress enough that while I was prepared for the mess of Ruby's suicide attempt getting framed by the narrative in a positive light (this leads them to the way out, she gets some new ability, etc.) I still thought the GROUP would react appropriately. They just watched Ruby have a complete meltdown, she's already fainted once this Volume due to grief over Penny, they now understand the "hints" of depression Ruby has been displaying the last 24 hours (like her avoiding Crescent Rose), she runs away from them, is caught by Neo, gets the shit kicked out of her, and then looks them in the eye while drinking the Permanently Changes You And Erases Your Memories Tea while a fake Roman waxes on about how the world would be better off without her.

...and they're all just okay with that?

I was fully expecting Yang to go on a Super Saiyan rampage. I was prepared to write about how it's too little, too late now that Yang has revealed her supposedly-always-there love for Ruby after ignoring herfor most of the Volume. Regardless of how badly she's treated her little sister this season, it was oh-so-obvious to me that Yang was going to break, be inconsolable, go feral in an attempt to hunt down the Cat/Neo for revenge. I was expecting to see a frantic Blake and a near catatonic Weiss, horrified that she just lost someone else after her entire Kingdom was destroyed. I was waiting for Jaune's furious and annoyingly justified "I told you so!" after the Cat revealed their true colors and the tree - which he's said was evil this whole time - dragged Ruby away after she rolls over, 'dead' from its leaves that Neo gave her in an attempt to kill her.

Side note: for anyone who is seriously trying to argue that this wasn't a suicide attempt, if you consider nothing else, consider Neo. She does not want Ruby to be cured of her depression, or get a power-up, or take the supposedly magical medicine that will help her work through her problems. Why in the world would Neo give Ruby something harmless, let alone beneficial? Neo wants her dead. She gave her the tea to destroy Ruby once and for all and, when Ruby drank it, Neo believed she'd succeeded, becoming hollow as a result. She would not have been capable of being possessed if she believed that Ruby would survive and her revenge was incomplete. The whole reason the Cat was able to get to her was because Neo thought Ruby was gone for good and even the Cat themselves is surprised to find Ruby in the cocoon. Ruby, meanwhile, is drinking to escape the horrors of her own life that she can no longer face. That was a murder attempt turned suicide attempt.

So we've got [gestures] all of this and instead of reacting with anything like human emotions Blake is smiling as she tells Yang that this is a great thing for Ruby and Weiss is pulling a Volume 8 Yang by announcing that their mistakes don't matter because they were brave about it and Jaune is staring at these gem strangers that don't know him anymore right after watching the Cat horrifically possess Neo and announces that they were right about the tree? Seriously why is the surprise villain of the Volume positioned as the morally trustworthy source? Even Ironwood wasn't granted that.

Forget Ever After, I feel like I've fallen into a parallel universe. Not to be ~dramatic~ about it, but am I being pranked? Did someone sneak a RWBY parody onto Crunchyroll? Is RT pulling a Rebecca Welton and trying to tank their own show due to some personal grudge? I am legitimately trying to understand how we went from this

to this?

(Also, friendly reminder that the screenshot of Ruby is right after Little was murdered. I mean, I don't care about them and clearly Ruby herself should be the concern, but I just want to point out that no one acknowledges Little either. An ally has just been killed, brutally crushed during Ruby's torture session, so how do the characters react to this? They don't. They leave Little's body there and don't even mention them. Look at Yang's massive grin, Blake's satisfied smile, Weiss' (possibly romantic?) hug. Their leader just attempted suicide and a coded-as-a-child friend was just murdered... and this is how they're acting in the immediate aftermath.)

(Second friendly reminder that the group was already not reacting to the entirety of the Atlas fiasco and in the wake of the last three episodes I find myself frequently forgetting that. Yang thinking she'd died, Blake thinking she'd died, Weiss losing her entire Kingdom, not knowing which of her family members made it out, Salem getting two Relics, Jaune and Weiss still not revealing that he killed Penny... none of it is being dealt with and that was before we threw 'The group ignores Ruby trying to die' into the mix.')

Can you help me out with something? I started a Patreon with the intent of donating the money given to Rooster Teeth. Could you tell everyone you know about it?

Listen. I know who you are. I got sent a screenshot of a person on reddit who never commented since 2021 suddenly demanding on R/RWBY and R/FNKI that everyone donate to RT. I even saw that person pick a fight with a hardcore member of r/rwbycritics. But two one things were notable. One, their willingness to spam their donation idea across multiple subreddits, and their hot-headed anger at anyone not agreeing. You were banned from every RT-Affiliated subreddit you were doing this on, and then you deactivated your account. Now you come here and are spamming your new account to anyone being a rwby fan. There is positivity, there is defending RWBY, and then there is toxic positivity. By going as far as you do, you're going to drive other rwby fans away. This isn't what you should do. People aren't willing to raise a penny except for toxic youtubers spreading shit, or their favorite porn artists. Point is, Rooster Teeth has multiple ways of making money to finance V10, but Patreon is not going to work. Its going to be too much and is not feasible. May I suggest an alternative, if you're going to try spending your time here on tumblr? If you want to use YOUR Money to help promote RWBY? Look up Tumblr Blaze. I have used it to promote Trans Rights, Black Lives Matter, Feminism, and of course RWBY. If you want to use money to get people to see RWBY? Here on Tumblr, there are millions of people who can be reached with a mere $10. Best part is, it doesn't even have to be your own post. It can be somebody else's too. So...before you ask other people for THEIR money? Why not start spending your own first? To quote the saying "put your money where your mouth is"

Now, I am going to block you for harassing my peer Citadelofmythoughts. They want to see RWBY greenlit too. Do not assume that just because somebody won't take the steps you are, that makes them somehow an enemy.

Volumes 7-8 literally had ironwood as the plot device explaining how this was bad. Please learn from that.

Hi.

I’m here to torment myself and do a TLDR/Breakdown of this.

This is gonna be long and torturous. I will try to not be biased (but I will be if something really upsets me.)

Tier 1: The Sky.

“Planned from the start.”

Planned from the start is a phrase most commonly used by RoosterTeeth and RWBY Stans especially to support the other claim of Bumblebee being a long burn ship. The counter-argument of this often goes back to the earlier days of RWBY when things such as the Maidens weren’t added in until V3.

“hbomberguy video”

A video by YouTuber hbomberguy on RWBY titled “Why RWBY Is Disappointing” was uploaded in 2021. It covers issues surrounding creative decisions from earlier RWBY Volumes. It remains debated to this day, especially when discussing Rooster Teeth and the writing of the show.

“FRWBY”

FRWBY, also known as Fixing RWBY, is a rewrite on YouTube of RWBY made by CelticPhoenix and a small group known as the SketchyHuntsmen. Starting in 2017, this series continues to be heavily debated in the fandom. It also brought up several discussions of the practice of rewriting media.

“Poser to Maya”

Volumes 1-3 of RWBY used an animation program known as Poser. It was well known for it’s exaggerated colors and overall more grainy look. Volumes 4-onward of RWBY uses an animation program known as Maya. It’s a lot smoother, handles greater details, and removes the grainy look. In V4-5, the animation in Maya was a bit choppy but has greatly improved since.

“RWDE and Anti-RWDE”

I’m going to loop these two together because of how intertwined they are. RWDE is a tag on Tumblr and other social media platforms created specifically to bring up criticism of RWBY. Anti-RWDE is the counter tag that often disagrees with the criticisms of RWDE. One thing is for certain, when RWDE and Anti-RWDE interact, it’s never pretty.

“The Propaganda In TV Shows Does Numbers on Y’all”

This phrase originated from a tweet screenshot discussing why TV shows often have minority character being bad guys to make the audience view minority people as bad. This point is most commonly brought up by RWDE posters when discussing the handling of the White Fang.

“The Granddaughter of a Hero.”

This is a quote from Weiss in V9C4 talking about her grandpa, Nicholas Schnee. She then follows up this quote with “and the daughter of a villain” in reference to Jacques Schnee. This line is debated in RWDE as framing the mega-corporation of the SDC as a good thing.

“V8 and V5”

Once more looping things together for simplicity. Volume 5 and Volume 8 are often debated as being the worst Volumes of RWBY, with Volume 8 especially bringing up several discussions of the writing choices.

“Critikal Drama”

This is in reference to when MoistCritikal streamed his reaction of RWBY V9 which led to him receiving several death threats after he critiqued the animation.

“HTDM”

The HTDM (Hatedom) is a term used to categorize people who hate on RWBY for no good reason. Although that definition has withered away from being just about trolls to people who often post RWDE or critique the show.

“#GreenlightVolume10”

#GreenlightVolume10 is a hashtag that began being posted during and after Volume 9’s release. This hashtag has been brought into question when bringing up work conditions at Rooster Teeth.

“Belts and Zippers”

This is often a joke made at the increased number of belts and zippers on character models, and it especially came up with the V7 designs.

“No Faunus”

In Volume 4, Qrow visits a bar that has a “No Faunus” sign out front. This sign was a one of a kind and never showed up again.

“GMod Cat”

This is a joke about the Curious Cat’s color scheme reminding people of the black and pink graphic missing texture most commonly seen in source games such as GMod.

“Weiss aiming her weapon at her little brother.”

In Volume 8, Weiss points her rapier at Whitley, her little brother. This is often debated as Weiss being violent towards her own brother.

Alright, that should be it for the first layer, I will continue this in a reblog for the tip of the iceberg. Please let me know if I missed anything or got anything wrong!

this is hell. i am in hell.

badly cropped versions of each tier below:

i would’ve added more, but I figured this was enough shitty takes, problematic canon and uncomfortable implications for one day. :)
