Qrow - Tumblr Posts
Glynda is the vice headmistress - now headmistress - of Beacon Academy. She is Ozpins left and right hand woman and someone who has been with him through everything during his time as headmaster.
We've seen posts going on and on about Qrow and the other members of the inner circle, especially the ones that have characters to do with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz but they never mention her or how she copes with everything. I think I might try and fix that.
(T.W: this is going to contain a theory of mine on how her semblance works),
Glynda's semblance, as we know, is telekinesis. She moves objects on either smaller or larger scales and has the ability to fix and repair things with her mind. We've seen her control and fix things on large scales before (the breach and the food fight) and as we know by now a semblance is a special power made by the soul/ Aura to fit one's personality, mental, or emotional state.
Depending on your mental and emotional health your semblance can evolve it doesn't matter if your feelings are negative or not your semblance will automatically evolve and to stay compatible with your personality and traits, you can still train it to get stronger though. Ren and Ruby are perfect examples for this.
Glynda is a vice headmistress, a member of the inner circle, Ozpins closest confident, a renowned huntress, and a combat teacher and disciplinarian at Beacon Academy. The most successful and prestigious of all four Academies. Safe to say she's got a lot of power at Beacon. We see that she cares about the students following the rules and staying on track while trying to enforce said rules. She has control on just about everything at Beacon. We also see that she's trying to keep everything together, keep her students safe, keep Ironwood trusting Ozpin, keep the school in shape. She needs to keep things together or else they'll break and fall apart.
After the fall of Beacon we see her trying to put a shop back together using her semblance...but it doesn't work. She's out of breath and confused. Yes you could play it off as she's probably tired from doing other things like putting Beacon back together. But that is not the case. We see that she's started putting the school back together later on after helping repair the city in the books, and the rest of the city still looks very much destroyed.
I have a theory on how a part of her semblance might work.
She needs to KNOW. That's it. She just needs to know. We all know her fairy tale inspiration is Glynda the Good witch of the east and that she is someone very important and someone with knowledge on just about everything. Glynda doesn't know anymore. She doesn't know what happened to her students, she doesn't know what happened to Lionheart or Ironwood, she doesn't know about Oscar or Emerald's redemption, and she doesn't know about Raven, Winter, Penny, Fria, or the maidens. The Good Witch lost her knowledge.
We also don't know how young (or old) she was when she unlocked her semblance. If it was when she was young as in a child or pre teen then I was right and she did not have a fun childhood like the rest of the cast, if it was when she was a student - a new huntress, then the stress was probably getting to her, if it was recent - as in slightly before canon - then the stress finally got to her but she didn't show it (most unlikely in terms of timeline and experience with her semblance (most likely in terms of stress) or it could be all of them but she just didn't show it because of being stubborn and a workaholic
At a con, and a rwby meetup, when the Tai yelled something about how he has slept with two of his teammates.
To which I yelled back "That we know of!"
To which he then pointed and yelled at the Qrow about 100 feet away "your next!!!"
Later that night at the panel he mutters something that only those at the table could hear, and the cinder exclaims "did you just say all THREE of your teammates have seen you naked??!!???!"
Qrow: So you really want to play hard ball here huh? OK fine i will let my partner take over the interrogation, Hey Summer i need to head out for a bit mind watching the prisoner?
Summer (Entering the room): No problamo!
Criminal: Ha! you think this dork scares me?
Qrow (leaning in close and whispering): Oh she will...
(twenty minutes later)
Summer (holding up her scroll): And here is...
Criminal (Looking at the picture of Yang sitting on a small motorcycle ride outside a gas station): y-you just showed me this one!
Summer: No that was her first ride on it, this is her first ride without getting scared! oh my special brave little girl!
Criminal (beginning to fight his restraints): Umm,
Summer (Switching to a near identical picture): and this was her first ride when she put the lien in all on her own!
Criminal (Realizing what level of madness he’s dealing with): oh gods...
Summer: and here she is buying her first pair of sunglasses! and here she is wearing them! and here she is riding the motor cycle ride for the first time wearing them! doesn’t she look so cool! and here she is waving to us the first time while riding it!
Criminal: HELP! FOR THE LOVE OF MERCY HELP ME!
How Kevin got his name
Qrow (For the one hundredth time): No Tai it’s pronounced Wee-V-Run
Raven (For the ninety ninth time): No! you idiot it’s pronounced Wi-Veer-N
Tai (For the one hundred and first time): Guys i am telling you it’s Why-Vur-N
Summer (under her breath): Kevin...
Raven: What was that? i couldn’t hear you over the sound of your meekness!
Summer (With tears of rage in her eyes and white rose petals swirling around her): KEVIN!
Tai: Huh?
Summer (Screaming in their faces with her veins bulging and her skin reddened with blood from pure rage): IT’S PRONOUNCED KEVIN NOW! AND IF ANY OF YOU WORTHLESS PIECES OF SHIT EVER SAY IT ANY OTHER WAY EVER AGAIN I WILL KILL YOU IN YOUR FUCKING SLEEP AND LEAVE YOUR MUTILATED CORPSE OUT AS A WARNING!

Pollination child: *is a monkey faunus*
Qrow:
Team RWBY:
Qrow: *snickering* Well... I’ll be a monkey’s uncle!
Blake: I’ll kill you.
I mean… did anyone else think this when they first met, and chatted, and SASSED one another?
Because I immediately did.
(Reference heavily used for the beautiful expressions)
This never gets old lmao
Qrow: Here's a penny for your thoughts.
Tai: Aw, that's nice! I really appreci--
Qrow: And here's a quarter not to tell me them.
Tai: ...😑
Random rwby vol8 theory (scroll if you don’t want to see kind of spoilers for chapter 1).
So you know how General Ironwood shot one of the council memebers without any regrets just because they came in asking about martial law and abandoning Mantel. Well, Qrow and Robyn have just been arrested for disobeying orders and the murder of Clover. Robyn definitely isn’t going to stay quiet about Mantel and Qrow “murdered” one of the ace ops. I don’t think he’s gonna have any qualms about killing either of them in cold blood when he meets them.
So if one of them does get killled by Ironwood, I called it
Based on this adorable lil piece here featuring a cute lil frog. I feel it works for fair game too well, so I did a redraw with these fools <3
trans qrow also presents two possiblity... there's a boring one that there was always a theme of naming children after birds, and qrow just kept the tradition when he picked his name, OR he choose a bird name EXPLICITLY to match his sister Raven and thats good content
the second one is absolutely canon as ive decided right now
Fair Game Week Day 4: Birds/Soulmates
Qrow feeds the crows and Clover feeds the penguins while they wait for transport on an inexplicable bench on the tundra
Fairgame thought of the day: Clover embracing Qrow with his big strong arms, cradling his head to his chest, and making Qrow feel safer than he ever has in his whole life
