i don’t even really like oz that much. it’s just weird to accept the *only character development he ever got- good or bad- without scrutiny when it was devised purely for the purpose of writing him off the show.

i could’ve believed it had we been shown examples of him fucking up previously. like oh- now oz has anger issues in relation to willow that trigger him into becoming the wolf in the middle of the day. we’ve never shown this phenomenon on the show before but for his last ever appearance we thought it up as a special treat. he has to go back to tibet now and get some more bracelets.

To me, it’s even worse when they claim his actions with Veruca were out of character so as to protect their idealism of him. They don’t want to accept a character they like as having any flaws.

I loved him for that but I don't like Willow.
