Human - Rag'n'Bone Man
»»————- ♔ ————-««
A song for the adults in the cast and the mistakes they made, but mostly how much these mistakes boil down to humanity's limits.
➸ While RWBY as a show is mostly focused on the teenagers, I've found the adults to be really compelling when you allow them the room to simply be human and acknowledge that they inevitably make mistakes as a result. That is not to mean that some of their actions are not reprehensible, but I think they also all deserve some manner of understanding, in the sense that the root of their failures are more often than not familiar and real.
➸ Fear, Hope, Despair... The hesitation to trust brought on by trauma and experience, the fumbling that occurs along the way of an impossible task. The fall that comes with relying too much on others' hope, trying in vain to numb and run from your pain. How the weight of your responsabilities and desire to do the right thing can bring you down if pushed and pulled for too long. The difficulties that come with leaving behind the life you've been raised in (and ultimately failing to). The root of everything being a simple human's grief and his inability to let go... or the fact that the gods might be much more to blame. The hope and desire to make the world a better place for the next generation, only to force a bigger sacrifice on them.
➸ Everyone is human, trying in their own way and making mistakes on the path. Everyone is faillible, and I sometimes wish this was acknowledged more... Because it is so very easy to become the antagonist in someone else's story as everyone struggles to find their place in the world or simply what to do. And I think it's important to remember the good among the bad decisions... To look at the root of the evil more than the humans who fell victim to it.
Hey what are your mbti and enneagram typings for Salem and OG Ozma? I see Salem as an INTJ. She’s maybe an unhealthy 4w3? Taking from his first two incarnations (bc he basically overrided his first reincarnation), I feel like OG Ozma was an IxFJ? He seems like a Fe user. And maybe a 9. I’m not too stuck to those conclusions though. What are your thoughts?
Hello again !
I'll be honest, I had not tried to type these two (mainly bc they don't have a lot of screentime) but I can try to give it a go !

I think 4w3 makes some sort of sense for Salem 🤔 Considering her issues with grief and not getting what she wants, I think ît's highly likely she has at least one type from the Frustration triad. 4 fits that bill, I don't really see a 7, 1 would work too. Inherently, Salem is dissatisfied with the world she lives in, she's frustrated and feels that she doesn't have what she wants.
HEART. 4 : she want(ed) someone who understood & accepted her. she's unabashedly herself and even when she found Ozma again, she didn't care one bit to pretend or hide who she was (doesn't fit 2/3). she's pretty confident but also doesn't really seem to need the wins for it (doesn't fit 3). she fumes in her negative emotions & experiences, and is currently using them to define herself.
Positive Outlook (2) doesn't fit her at all. Attachment (3) doesn't fit her much either. 2 & 3 are out. Conclusion : 4w3
GUT. 1 : she wants the world around her to fit her standards, very critical of others, some competency thrown in the mix. she seems like she could be a 8 too but she feels much more controlled; and in any case she would be a weird 1 fix since she's quite literally corrupted by the pool of Grimm and thus won't abide by the usual "i need integrity" core fear.
Positive Outlook + Attachment (9) ? No way. 8 could work too but leaning toward 1 for now. Conclusion : 1w9
HEAD. Unsure of her head fix, would need more data.
Conclusion : 6 or 5 ?
MBTI
As for her cf, I never really thought about it... But I could see the Fi-Ni or Ni-Fi I think ? I agree on Ni-Se axis in any case.

This man is a himbo your honor and I stand by these words. This gonna be harder to say because we have like... 1 ep at most to make any conclusions.
I agree Ozma mostly overrid his first reincarnation, but the guy was still *here* in some shape or forms; so it's hard to be certain that Ozma's character wasn't influenced in some way. Considering that he's probably stayed mostly the same...
GUT. 9 or 1 : i feel like the very first Ozma, before his death, might have fitted 1 better. we talk of a man who fought "only for righteousness", and who afterwards still held onto his mission tightly despite his missteps along the way. he wants integrity, to do things right & correctly ("things" being uniting humanity in this case). at the same time, Ozma 2.0 seemed to have a very hard time asserting himself in Salem's vicinity & often ended up swaying to her ideas which seems pretty 9-ish. we could wonder how much of that is due to Salem's manipulation though : no need to be a 9 to fall for people's lies. it still stands that Ozma lacks a bit the rigidity and overly critical side of 1s, as well as the frustration. overall i'm tempted to say that maybe OG Ozma had a 1; and Ozma 2.0 leaned more toward 9; even if it might seem like a cope-out.
Reactive + Reject (8) ? Nah. Frustration + Competency (1) ? 🤔 Not that much either from what we've seen. Conclusion : 9 with a strong w1.
HEART. Not enough data. Not really seeing the 4. Could be either 2 or 3; I'd need interactions outside of his interactions with Salem to know honestly. A couple isn't the most neutral setting, and they were kinda codependant on top of that.
Conclusion : 2 or 3 ?
HEAD. 6 ? : not sure at all, but i guess he was pretty upfront about his fears with Salem (something that came to bite him in the ass afterwards). sure he took a long time before speaking up (9, remember) but he DID confront & speak his doubts into the open : embracing & reacting to the fear. he also readily took to Salem's plans when faced with the enormity of his mission to unite humanity. Ozma doesn't really runs away from his responsabilities, nor does he derive any stress or frustration from the idea of missing out (doesn't fit 7). he didn't seem to feel the need to disengage from the world and from his emotions to be objective & prepare for his task (doesn't fit 5). he leans readily into proposed solutions and what he considers a trusted ally (not couterphobic)
Frustration (7) ? Not really ? Reject + Competency (5) ? Not seeing it either. Conclusion : 6w7
MBTI
I have even less on an opinion on his MBTI than Salem; but I'd actually say that he strikes me as the Fi-est Oz out of the main three. I'd entertain the idea of something else than Fe. ... Fe stills works though, he WAS pretty open-minded about Salem's methods for "uniting humanity" at first.
No clue on axis. Maybe some Si ?

That's all the thoughts I can bring into the open ! Sorry for the major focus on ennea, hope you can still find something interesting in the answer xD
Hello there RWBY shipping fans 👀 These past few days, I've been making a RWBY shipping playlist for fun ♡ (The song's choices are lyric-based, and I tried to find songs that feel at least slightly specific FOR the ship and not just generic lovesongs.)
I'm gonna try to make shipping gifs with some lyrics; in the meantime what would you say to a game if you're bored ? I'll give you the list of ships I've found a song for; and the list of songs. EVERYTHING IS MIXED UP. Try to put them together ! I'm curious to see whether others can see what I saw. Good luck :D
Warning: if a ship is canonically toxic; their song is as well. Ships like Taiqrow or Emercury can be read as platonic too if that's more your jam
Some ships have 2 songs (for the PoV of both characters; or bc I could not choose). I'll put a (2) next to their name if that's the case !
Ooookay; have fun ! You can reblog with a few guess; you can download the pic and link together ships & songs as you believe them to work together; you don't have to do everyone...
You can completely ignore this post & leave me alone with my playlists. Sad but understandable.
Have fun & a good day to you all !
So we got the Hunter & Amity parallel, the Hunter & Willow parallel... But what about the Luz & Hunter parallel uh ?? Where is it ?
Well fear not dear friends, for my sister & I are currently examining Luz and Hunter through the lense of "Good Kid - Percy Jackson The Musical" and will share the result with you some time soon 🔎
Not in AMV form sadly because neither of us know how to do that but I will share our interpretation through lyrics associated with the appropriate gifs + small explanations (like I did for some RWBY characters). Will probably be in several parts since there's a 10 picture limits
My head is filled with my little fictive characters and all the songs I painstakingly associate with them words by words <3

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.
Mercury: Sorry people are being weird to you about liking murder. What’s your favourite murder fact?
Cinder: When you kill people they die.
Cinder: Unless they’re Ruby Rose! Then you go “Ruby, I thought the void ate you!” and she’s like “shut the fuck up something something power of friendship.”
Sassy boi 💚🧡 So proud of him ;;
