Cinnamon: *Runs up to Oobleck while holding a large bottle with a straw in it.* Hey Dad, look what Aunt Ava gave to me! She was drunk, but I made her go to bed before I left.

Oobleck: *Looks at her.* That’s nice, sweetie. What is it?

Cinnamon: I don’t know. It’s in Dutch. I can’t read that. But, she said it’s some kind of soda or something.

*As Cin starts drinking it Oobleck looks at the bottle. He immediately recognizes it as a hard liquor bottle. He snatches it away and Cin gets annoyed.

Cinnamon: *Perfectly sober.* Dad, if you wanted a drink you should’ve just asked.*

Oobleck: *Looks at Cin, then the bottle, and takes a sip of it.*

A few minutes later:

Oobleck: *Completely drunk while being dragged home by Cin.* Are you sure that wasn’t soda? That was soda-lisious.

Cinnamon: *Annoyed* Yes, I’m sure. You’re going home and going to bed. Aunt Ava needs to categorize her stuff better so she doesn’t accidentally give me alcohol again. I’m still a minor, for goodness sake.

The next morning:

*Oobleck wakes up on the couch in the living room. Red is standing next to him with her hands on her hips, clearly annoyed.*

Oobleck: What happened?

Red: You got sick all over our bed!

I got that vibe minus the orphanage part. Not that I think you (and others who have mentioned it) are wrong because it 100% makes the most sense, just that it never even occurred to me at the time. My mind was prepped to interpret Cinder’s scrubbing as domestic scrubbing within a family due to Cinderella (and it’s not like we haven’t had other characters where we never see their parents), she’s out in this kind of rural/farm-ish area, then there are a bunch of mean boys so my brain just went, “Idk, awful neighbors?” The woman arrives and says “I’ll take her” which makes it sound like she’s buying Cinder and she’s taken to a hotel where she’s greeted and treated as an employee (even though we all know she’s not being paid). So by the time Rhodes mentioned her “legal guardians” I was like, “Oh she adopted Cinder? From, yeah, must be an orphanage. Okay...” 

meme, accepting.

how I feel about this character.

this man could rip out my still beating heart and give it to me and i’d thank him. he wouldn’t because he’d rather Die than cause harm to another person but we’re all about the dramatic metaphors in this house.

all the people i ship romantically with this character.

ironwood, glynda, qrow.

my non - romantic otp for this character.

ozpin and summer !! i want to know so much more about their relationship and the circumstances in both beacon and before her death. ozpin never talks about her, and we’re left utterly in the dark about a lot of things concerning summer which is a damn shame, but it’s also not to be unexpected with how closed off ozpin is about his own history.

my unpopular opinion about this character.

apparently a lot of things like he didn’t deserve his own death, he wasn’t in the wrong for getting himself and his children then hell out of dodge, and he’s not this overarching monster anti - ozpin people try to make him out to be. some of youse haven’t worked through your dumblebitch pstd and are tryna’ shove that onto ozpin, and it shows !!

one thing i wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Reblog and see if you get a color.

PURPLE: We near never speak, but I do enjoy your presence on my dashboard.
