Ozpin in cloqwork? .w.

Finally

The emerald city man

The meme chain continues !

Some fun headcannon includes : - James Ironwood is nearly half metal, and his all of his organs aren't intact. He metabolizes slowly and is actually a lightweight because of this. Since he overworks himself a lot, drinking tends to knock him out cleanly. It's a tactic his friends use to put him to sleep when he's exhausted but refuses to stop.

- Ozpin rarely drinks around others for fear of letting slip out truths he isn't ready to share. Qrow managed to convince him sometimes, and tipsy Ozpin's would always end up sharing embarassing or unpolite anecdotes about his stuck-up political entourage or figureheads of the past.

- Marrow is the baby of the Ace-Opps and a drunk Marrow is a loose canon. There's an unspoken rule that he must be looked after at all time when they go out drinking.

- Oscar and Ren will fall on asleep on one another quickly. Nora and Yang stay up late into the night, they're up to no good and their shenanigans are demultiplied on drinking nights.

- Weiss and Jaune aren't good with alcohool. Jaune has a hard time judging when enough is enough so he often ends up laying on the ground with slight nausea. Weiss knows what to expect and thus drink very little : she prefers to take care of the more inebriated ones.

- Blake, Whitley and Emerald are constantly filmed during drinking nights bc the loss of inhibition make them surprisingly earnest & wholesome :)

.

I feel like this chart veers hard into headcannon territory, so this time I'm giving you all the clean version too ! Don't hesitate to reblog w your own interpretation and headcannons ;)

So we all know about cute boy Ozpin right ?

Well I was looking through some old Vol 1-3 gifs and I raise you...

He's so cute ??? I don't even remember what scene this is from but -

Whitley accidentally summoning the hound and then losing control of it is my bread and butter. Bonus points if it's his first summon.

i finally figured out what ozpin in the third frame of the “afraid of the dark” quote reminded me of and i’m about to lose it,, anyway part 4 of @incorrectozfamily​ posting hell how are we doing

RWBY’s Handlement of Abuse

Abuse isn’t a topic that’s anything new in media, it’s been handled over decades in many different ways; some done very well and others… not so well. RWBY is one of the many shows that attempts to handle this controversial topic, and goes deep into how it not only affects the victims of the abuse, but also deals with different types.

Physical, Emotional, Mental, even less known ones such as financial abuse, this show actually handles many attempts with clear care and the writers do seem to do their research in this. In my opinion, this research and trying to find out more about this sensitive topic is shown very clearly. I don’t like talking about myself much, but as a victim of abuse myself, I hold this topic very dear to my heart and feel more strongly when it’s written compared to other topics.

So, with that in mind, I’d like to look at the different abusive relationships we have so far in RWBY, and to see how well they hold up in both writing and how they’re seen so in the FNDM itself.

The way that each Schnee family member responds to trauma perfectly illustrates the four main types: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. Fight:

Weiss’s response has always been to fight. Those who are stuck in a constantly activated “fight” response to trauma tend to act entitled, angry, and contemptuous, which is what Weiss was like at the beginning of Volume One. “Fight” types typically see themselves as perfect and morally superior to others as a defense mechanism against abandonment, which, unfortunately, tends to perpetuate their loneliness. As Weiss grows and begins to heal from her trauma through healthy relationships, she is able to use her “fight” response in healthier ways. For example, instead of completely removing herself from the family, she intends to reclaim the family name and restore its honor, which is a great goal to have and one that gives her purpose. As Blake has said, the word that best describes Weiss is “defiance”.

Flight:

Winter’s response to trauma was flight. Her goal was to get away from Jacques Schnee as quickly as possible, and her chosen escape route was the Atlas military. “Flight” types tend to have obsessive-compulsive tendencies, believing that order and perfection will keep them safe. They lose themselves by constantly being busy so that they do not have to present with their emotions, which they don’t know how to deal with. Winter still seems to struggle with actually confronting her feelings, but as she works through her trauma, we begin to see a healthy manifestation of her “flight” response: she has gained the distance needed to create her own destiny.

Freeze:

Willow Schnee, knowing that there is no escape from her husband and that resistance is futile, did the only thing she knew she could do: she froze. “Freeze” types tend to withdraw into themselves and dissociate as much as possible in order to numb the pain. This is learned helplessness. They self isolate, avoiding others and using whatever method of distraction best distances them from reality. In Willow’s case, she uses alcohol. While Willow is still stuck in her “freeze” state, we see one positive way she has used it: she has been able to gain an advantage over Jacques Schnee by placing cameras all over the estate. Only someone like Willow, who presents as helpless and detached, would be able to get away with such a thing without being caught.

Fawn:

Finally, we have Whitley Schnee. Unlike his sisters, he doesn’t have the Schnee family semblance or the talent that would have allowed him to join the military or enroll in an academy. As the last of the children, he must be aware that his father is going to hold on to him tightly and not let him get away like the other two. So what does he do? He “fawns”. “Fawn” types seek safety by forfeiting all of their needs, preferences, and boundaries in order to become exactly what the abuser wants them to be. They essentially try to do damage control by complying with the demands of others and by trying to be as agreeable as possible. These are the codependent types. Whitley, knowing he was left alone by his sisters and cannot depend on his detached mother, must do everything in his power to get along with Jacques Schnee so that he can survive. That’s where he still is, and we have yet to see how he progresses.

How do you feel about Ruby in Lancaster

I feel like she’s adorable

Tyrian Callow's love language is Acts of Service. Talk about the lowest hanging fruit in the world.

Very true ! But consider... Salem headpats and scratches for her favorite fanatic ;) 

Okay I might have to pause this "one chart a day" thing I have going on, I'm starting an internship at the hospital & I'm not sure I'll have the time to keep going. So... Enjoy this one !

This is a hand-made template so I'm putting it at the end in case someone else wants to give it a go :D

THE WHY-s

Oscar sweetie I love you very much and you're doing great but when you're constantly dealing with your trauma offscreen I'm forced to put you in the "no emotional vulnerability" category

When you're constantly yelling at your ex & her blonde teammate about your problems and how hurt you are, I'm putting you in oversharing (yes this is about Adam. Bitch)

Mercury & Emerald : emotional vulnerability ? never heard of her. Just on slightly opposite ends of the axis

RWBY just love piling up the angst & breakdowns on their emotionally-stunted adult men am I right. Sorry about that Oz, James, Qrow.
