#snom rambles

Thank you for this, anon! This was a nice surprise to wake up to! It made my day!

Yes, unfortunately Son of Oz is discontinued. I frankly just lost steam for it as I haven't been engaging in much RWBY content recently. The ending to V8 and the animated Fairytales shorts both left a bad taste in my mouth. I just... REALLY didn't like them. I could go on about it I guess but that sounds exhausting and there are better analysts out there. Anyways, I don't have much of a desire to go back to the show currently, though that might change depending on what goes down next volume.

As for Son of Oz, I'm not sure if I should hand the fic off to someone else or not. I know that was a thing on FF.net back in the day, was that authors could put the fic up for adoption to be continued by somebody who wanted it. idk if that still goes on anymore, but I might give an explanation of where I was headed with the story and then hand it off to be someone else's baby. If they want it. They can edit it, move things around, continue it, whatever they wanna do--I really don't mind.

If nobody wants it tho, that's perfectly fine, too. It can just sit where it is. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be struck with the desire to give it another shot. I just can't really see that happening any time in the near future though.

Hi, I'm doing good thanks, how are you? :)

But show aside, would you still do content for Oz regardless of where they take his character and oscar? I know a lot of people take the shows “canon” with a small grain of salt and make up their own thang. Is that something you’d think from time to time?

I don't really have anything to latch on to for this show at this point, for specifically the problem pointed out here: having to take canon with a grain of salt because of... how lackluster it can be. 

RWBY is like being handed a box of far too many random, clunky spare parts. You take the ones that seem interesting to you and run with it. Maybe you turn your spare part into a very pretty and cool little thingamabob! Like me with Ozpin! I’ve helped make so many cool thingamabobs for Ozpin! AU’s [so many AUs], fanfics, art pieces [so many art pieces...] 

Ozpin is the spare part I took from RWBY and ran with for a year. He’s one of the more complex characters who i really, really like. However, going down the road, I can’t see the show taking any specific turn that I’ll find more interesting than the places fanfic has already gone with him. Who knows? Maybe it will and I’ll be back with V9! That’s always the hope.

And if it doesn’t, well.... I’m not sure. I’ve spent a long time taking the show with a grain of salt. If it’s not giving me what I want or engaging me in any way, it begs the question of why I’m still here. Like, why not just go find a series that’s gonna give me what I want?

So yeah. No Ozpin and Oscar content from me. At least not right now. The only reason I got invested in RWBY was for the unique Oz and Oscar soul merge situation but, after a year of engaging with this singular cool concept, I’m pretty bored of it. I’ve made every thingamabob there could be made out of Ozpin and Oscar at this point. The merge thing is still awesome and all, but there’s only so many theories and fanfics I can read, and creations i can make, before I’m just like.... okay. now what?
