A song about the Xiao-Long & Branwen family
➸ Yang suffers from Raven's abandonment, knowing that her mother left and didn't consider her daughter important enough to *stay* for. For YEARS she knew nothing of her. And saying that Raven didn't want to want Yang seems pretty accurate.
➸ It's thanks to her father & uncle that Yang is so very aware of what love (actual love) is. It's why Yang is so different from Raven, why she cares so much and isn't impressed by Raven's attempts at "kindness". She wanted to know her mother & why she left. But after years and years wondering... the time to "come back" is long lost. Yang is far from impressed by Raven's philosophy.
➸ All in all, it's clear that if Yang is so well-adjusted most of the time it's because she had her own family, without Raven, that she could always count on. Her father who, having given up on the Hunter life, took care of his daughters & loved them as best as he could. Her uncle who, unlike his twin, chose to STAY as much as he was allowed. A credit to how fiercely Qrow loves as well, that shows how different the twins are.
➸ Raven might have abandonned Yang, but Yang isn't planning on doing the same. She'll be there for Ruby as much as possible, and she can feel safe in the knowledge that Tai & Qrow will always be there for the both of them as well.
Salem gifset from the Lost Fable for the fans Sorry for the gif noise I don't know much about gif-making
A very confused Ozma during his first reincarnation
Tired old wizard and his Maidens
Ozpin feeling conflicted about the decision to make Pyrrha an "unnatural" Maiden
Some more Oz-carnations gifs I put together
I WAS WRONG - OH HELLOS
I was born, I was born
I was born at the hands of the potter
And I was torn from the start
I was torn between my god and my father
I was born, I was born
I was born at the dawn of our folly
And I was young, and stubborn to the bone
As I took from the tree that was rotting
I took my chance and bit down deep
The weight of the world was crippling
Now I'll hide my shame with woven leaves
I was wrong... I was wrong,
I was wrong...
And I'm so, so sorry
I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong...
And I'm so, so... I'm so, so sorry
I knew you'd never forgive me
But I was wrong... I was wrong
And I'm so, so sorry
I am sorry...

A song that I thought nicely fitted our favorite wizard
➸ "The potter" is another way of calling god in sacred texts. Ozma was brought back to life and given his mission by the God of Light.
➸ Right from the start however, Ozma was torn between the terms of his mission and his desire to see Salem again. Misled by love, he ended up playing god in a misguided attempt to unite humanity. In that instance, Salem can be read as his "god", turning him away from his "Father's" mission.
➸ Salem, or more specifically the Salem we know today, was born at the height of humanity's greatest folly : turning against the gods which prompted their annihilation.
➸ She was young, she was stubborn and determined and she took powers from the gods that revealed themselves to be rotten in the light of day. (Immortality is highly desired but was nothing but a punishment for her)
➸ Ozma was given the chance to come back and see Salem again through a deal with the God of Light, and he jumped at this chance. While this was his choice at the time, the apple he bit into was in truth just as rotten as the gods previous gifts.
➸ We all know how his history with Salem played out. That bridge burned, Ozma has nothing left ahead of him but his task. A daunting task that weighs on him, seemingly impossible because of Salem's existence and her immortality.
➸ And in answer to his loss of hope, the wizard hides away from the world : ashamed and desperate, seeing no end to his fighting... Up until being proven wrong by four young maidens. Four maidens who give him the will to keep trying, for humanity's sake.
➸ The Wizard tries and tries and keeps trying. He struggles and fails and yet still holds on. He has mades mistakes and how he suffers from them. But no matter how many times he might fall, he will always get up, an apology on his lips. Because humanity stays worth fighting for.
I made some gifs out of Ozpin's apology in Risk for a future music post, but I figured I'd share them with you all Ozpin's fans in the meantime
Prepare for a very soft wizard boy
I still would have liked his apology to be reciprocated instead of just a lowkey "it's okay, trust is hard but we'll trust you again" but well
