Wattscar headcanons pls 🙏 i am searching for trouble

First off, I am linking the Wattscar timeline so you know what's happening in this post.

Secondly, I am mentioning that uh the villains timeline basically stays the same because Watts didn't do much anyway.

It's worth noting that Penny was still framed at the rally, but this happens earlier. The thing that pushes Jacques over the edge is that Robyn's rally was disrupted. Much like 2020, Tyrian helps Jacques by stopping the people in Mantle from being able to vote.

Hero doesn't happen. James gets to his office, and um... Mercury has planted the seer Grimm. Cinder places the queen as normal.

Penny gets hacked. Ironwood manages this by holding a scientist at gunpoint or such.

Nobody dangles Cinder off a building, but nobody needs to. Winter becoming the maiden is what turns her into whatever she becomes in volume 9.

Uh Neo cuts the feed ig. Maybe it's just a button?

Ok so that's all the changes to the villains side. And of course, Salem knows dear Ozpin as Watts now. On the Oscar side, however...

Watts makes Oscar buy stick on mustaches, because he needs to twirl his mustache to be able to think. Everyone except Blake thinks it's real.

Watts actually doesn't have any of Ozma's driving force while he's in Oscar's head. Oscar wants to complete Ozma's mission, Watts just wants revenge for being killed after Beacon. And his overtime pay.

Oscar knew Oz. Nephew maybe? That's why he wants to stop Salem. Also this gives him a base level relationship with Qrow and James. Not high tho.

Ozpin leads the ozluminati, but he's acting as leader only because there's no Ozma to lead.

Wattscar does not like hot chocolate. Oscar has a sudden urge for black coffee.

Oscar becomes the strategist pretty quickly, much like Oz was.

Watts is absolutely just as shady as Ozpin was. He keeps hella secrets too, but his are kept out of embarrassment, rather than fear.

And Watts doesn't go away fully. He just vaguetalks a lot.

Watts recognises and despises James instantly. He still originally worked for James before becoming Ozma. So that's something he has in common with Oscar.

He actually fakes being gone because of this.

As in, even Oscar doesn't know.

He comes out when James shoots oscar and he is fuckin livid. It takes a lot of farmboi strength to stop him from going to maul James there and then.

Oscar likes Watts' sass. This is how they bond in the whale.

Watts feels kinda sorry for Oscar, because he's broke. Watts is Atlesian so... Yano.

Also dadwatts dadwatts

Watts and Oscar chat a lot of shit about everyone in Argus, things you just know he'd say in canon even without Watts.

This leads to Oscar not forgiving Jaune.

Until Jaune buys him his new gear.

Btw cause Salem has it, oscar doesn't have his cane until hazel gives it to him like in canon, so he deadass just uses a revolver.

They both therapy thrift.

Oscar sideeyes Penny a lot. Ruby calls him out on this, where Oscar explains that it's subconscious. Although he really likes penny, watts despises her... For obvious reasons.

Oscar with a transatlantic accent >>>>

Oscar has to drag Watts to get vaccinated. Watts is an antivaxxer.

They both really want a Pomeranian.

Two sassy pos guys snark their team. I have fanart I really want to make of this tbh.

K so let's think about Wattscar AU a little.

My bro Watts gets glomped by Ozymandias and ends up as the next Ozma. Salem finds him as both a discraced scientist and the next Ozma and adopts immediately. Mandias doesn't object because they gave up fighting too (that changes if I can think of a better Mandias backstory than Snom).

Ozpin takes over Beacon even without Ozma in his mind because child prodigy. For the sake of originality, he's an Atlesian who is positioned at Beacon by Ironwood. He's also dating Qrow, and Oscar is their son. The fall of Beacon happens, Oz dies as scheduled, Cinder takes the powers, Salem decides that now that Beacon has fallen there's no point keeping Watts around. She doesn't need anymore hacking and there's no point keeping Ozma now he isn't going to resist anymore.

And so Watts reincarnates into Oscar. Watts tries to get him to help Salem, but Oscar misses his dad and knows he was fighting against Salem, so says no. They kind've fight for mental control. It takes constant concentration to stop Watts from taking over. Eventually, Watts realises he doesn't want to work for the woman who killed him, and Oscar ends up with a snarky scientist in his head. Queue Mistral and Atlas arc but Oscar has a mustache and suddenly knows how to code. The team are extra protective of them, knowing they were a prisoner of Salem and this is their first taste of freedom.

Also we get Watts possessing Oscar and it's brilliant
