rb with whether people assume you’re older or younger than your actual age

[melancholydonuts]

a funny thing about having a Problematic Blorbo is that you'll periodically come across a post along the lines of "um let's not forget that [Blorbo] is a bad person..." listing their various crimes, and if you have a modicum of intellectual honesty you find yourself nodding along and saying yeah it's true... but it's the greyness of their character that makes them so compelling... At the same time though you have a little Saul Goodman in your ear going "your honor in their defense: who cares like omfgggg who caresssssss like come onnnnnn"

How old do you think Oz is? And how that affects his perception of time, how he see death, morality and mankind as a whole. IDK, dude feels alien to me and my brain explodes in trying to get the man.

Ozpin himself gave us at least a general sense of his age in “Unforeseen Complications”: 

“For thousands of years I have walked the surface of Remnant; living, dying, and reincarnating in the body of a like-minded soul.” 

If it had only been a thousand years he probably would have said that, so the general assumption is that it has been at least two thousand years, perhaps longer. However, here he’s describing only his reincarnation. So to my mind it’s at least 2k + his original lifespan up until he died of illness. That is… so much. That is so very, fucking, unimaginably much. 

Ozpin’s age is partly why I defend him because yes, his experiences are alien. Imagine you had GENERATIONS of experience under your belt and were then being talked back to by a teenager who’d been out of school a year. How seriously would you take them? Imagine you had LIFETIMES of trauma and betrayals weighing you down. How easily would you trust again? Every time someone insists that Ozpin should have done X, Y, or Z–implying that these are easy things to accomplish and therefore the only reason he didn’t do them was because he’s a horrible, manipulative person–hasn’t bothered to put this into perspective. People stumble after a single trauma and need years, if not their whole life, to recover. People get backstabbed once and have trouble ever trusting again. People grow older and realize that there’s a difference between respecting teens and acknowledging that they still have a lot to learn. Now take that average human experience and multiply it by an unimaginable amount. Now factor in that we perceive time as speeding up as we get older, so Ozpin is subjectively losing loved ones faster and faster. Now take away any real support system or mental health services.Now keep in mind that this situation isn’t going to end any time soon, if ever. … Now acknowledge that despite this, Ozpin has done a damn good job. 

Ozpin still fights for mankind. He’s still patient and caring towards his hosts. He still praises RWBYJNR for having a sense of humor. He still wants kids to be kids while they can. He’s still terrified of death for others. He’s lived countless lifetimes, has god-like power at his fingertips, and is still humble enough to get down on his knees and beg a 17yo for mercy instead of just taking what he wants. And when she doesn’t show him any? Ozpin still arrives three days later to save her life. 

Brain exploding is right. Living 2000+ years is staggeringly hard for us to conceptualize. Imagine going to college 500 times. Or celebrating a 30th birthday over 66 times. Or living through 20 generations where you always reach 100. It’s insane. For me, partly what makes Ozpin a hero is his ability to care so much in the face of all that time.

Been thinking about Ozpin lately

The ability to turn reblogs off has really added a new dimension to shitty posts

If a regional war breaks out between Iran and Israel, Gaza will be forgotten. We will continue to suffer this suffering and will not be mentioned in anything. We will be forgotten forever.

i hope luigi mangione is proven innocent & gets to sue a ton of companies for slander and win & i hope he gets enough money to rebuild his life and get any help for his chronic pain that he needs & i hope he’s able to disappear from the public eye entirely if that’s what he wants

couldn’t have said it better myself.

biggest L i've had to take from morning people is that the hours between 5 - 9 am really do have 7x as much time in them than the ones between 9 pm - 1 am and you can get your whole day's worth of shit done by noon

internet politics and real-world politics have gotten so separated, and pretty soon all this internet weirdness is gonna come crashing into real life and politicians are gonna start throwing around words like “SJW” and “anime communist” and “dark enlightenment” and it’s just gonna be the most ridiculous fucking thing
