i need to share this dumb headcanon i just thought of with everyone in this fandom, ive always had the headcanon that oz gets disoriented because oscar is short and he was tall- but i raise you: do you think oz ever gets annoyed cause he to climb on the counter when trying to get mugs down

Do u think we'll see Oscar at the end of volume 9

a little late to answering this ask but I'm gonna have to go with no on this one, just a feeling

[hyperfixation-hideout]

you are doing an amazing service to oscar fans (me) thank you

for no particular reason (i like to fuck with my friends) do you have any screenshots where oz and oscar are particularly different to tell apart?? i need them for—reasons…

OOOOH, my friend you have come to the RIGHT place! Not sure if you're looking for pics where one looks like the other, and would trip someone up guessing, or moreso pics where he looks very in-between to the point where it could be either of them. Either way, I gotcha covered!

[I also have a uquiz here full of confusing Oscar/Ozcar pics!]

Darn tumblr and it's 30 image limit.... ah, well, take these and lemme know if you crave more (I have a lot) or want any of 'em clarified as to who it is! Thanks for the nice ask!

QUINLYN very important

is it you who has oscars leitmotif in sheet music i need it for hyperfixation purposes...

go nuts! :D

(It's not official afaik but it's way more detailed/accurate than the version I attempted to transcribe in noteflight lol)

Bear in mind this is just the first introduction of his music, and that it has many variations that play on motifs in here! Most commonly, the first 4 (or 8) notes of the melody (eg the first 2 measures), or the bridge melody (eg measure 13-14). In longer instances, such as his talk with Ruby in v5ch5, his conversations with Ozpin in volume 8 (ch 2 & 9 especially) or the music playing during the Paper Pleaser's monologue about "merging with the tree" in v9ch8, you can hear much more of or all of his theme. Most of the time, though, like most RWBY characters, only a few notes of his motif will play over moments focused on/about him, usually the first 4 of this one in Oscar's case :) WARNING: Many instances of Oscar's leitmotif playing incorporate elements/melodies from Ozpin's! Typically this is when A) he's talking to/with Ozpin, B) Oz is in control (eg sparring with Ruby, Ozpin's speech in Risk, etc), C) He's talking about Ozpin (eg with IW in v7ch7), or D) he's in a position relating to his role as an ozcarnation (eg confronting Leo). So beware getting the two confused! They've been getting more and more intertwined lately...

Oscar semblance idea: Aura Linking. Think like this, let's say Ren's aura is 200 HP, Oscar's is 200, Nora's is 300, and Jaune's is 700. When Oscar is near them, we'll say within the same visible area, each of them will have 1400 HP. This would help reinforce the fact that they should be within the same area because this boy needs to stop getting kidnapped or disappearing. Perhaps he could use this to selectively gain a boost from enemy aura, like Cinder has 200 HP so Oscar gets 400 HP. Thoughts?

Hmm, interesting! I do like the extra initiative for the group to stay near to Oscar lmao, but I'd hope caring about him/fear of losing him again would be reason enough to watch his back :P

The two hesitations I have about this are

It's very similar to Jaune's semblance, as both involve buffing others' aura

It introduces a complex specificity to aura that I feel could complicate things unnecessarily. Sometimes magic systems benefit from being a bit more vague and less scientific/mathematical, as getting bogged down in numbers and logistics can be limiting or time-consuming.

Then again, we have seen aura bars on scrolls and scoreboards, and I feel like I remember percentages being brought up during the tournament? So there's definitely a precedent for the possibility of such a semblance... again, I could even see this already being a function of Jaune's semblance we simply don't know about yet.

But the gaining a boost from enemy aura is fascinating... it would tie in with how Oscar treats allies and adversaries alike as individuals capable of change and growth. I'd probably pick a semblance that leans more into defining traits like that, or his resilience, insightfulness, realism, etc, etc

Thanks for sharing the idea!!! I love hearing them :D
