I love how in this shot, Oscar is apologizing to Jinn in the most sincere and adorable way for not having a question. And emerald is like: “boy, you have literally been tortured within an inch of your life and you’re apologizing?”

Oscar: Someone got kicked out of the aquarium for fighting the fish!

Emerald: *Soaked in water* Maybe the Fish were being dick!

Octopus will sometimes punch fish for seemingly no reason.

Ciel: Good morning Penny. *Kisses*

Penny: Good morning Ciel!

Ciel: Good morning Jaune. *Kisses*

Jaune: 'morning Honey!

Ciel: And a good morning to you, Weiss. *Kisses*

Weiss: Good Morning dear, I made Coffee just how you like it.

Ciel: *Smiling* Thank you Weiss~

Harbor seals are thought to engage in polygamous mating habits and rituals.

Jaune: FUCK MY LIVER-

Orcas will hunt sharks specifically for their livers and leave the rest

~~~~~

Yang: *Punches Jaune in the nose*

Jaune: *Tanks it*

Yang: *Punches Jaune in the side*

Jaune: *Doubles over*

Punching a shark in the nose is not nearly as effective as punching it in the eyes or gills

Neo: *Preparing food at 4 A.M, using groceries she stole from someone*

Lionfish are skilled hunters, certain species preferring to hunt in the morning.

Emerald City Siblings Headcannons

Welcome back to the Hell and Paradise that is my Headcannons.

Even though Emerald only knew Oscar for the shortest time, she assumes that Oscar is just one of her own. A brother in arms types.

Oscar tends to act as more of the responsible sibling, but as they spent more time together, he ended up getting into more trouble. Even creating his own safe place, and than later showing it to Emerald, so she could use it to. Sibling goals.

At the beginning a lot of people didn't take Oscar seriously, and Emerald ended up being more scary than she intended. Though Oscar did the same when people weren't willing to trust her.

Even though most of the Beacon students made it to Vacuo a lot of them seeing Oscar and Emerald together just assumed they were related. Even going as far as to refer to them as Emerald's little brother vice a versa with Oscar's older/big sister.

If Oscar is the little prince, than that means Emerald is the fox that he tames.

When Jaune returns with team RWBY, he goes back to acting Oscar's older brother figure, and Emerald and him would end up in constant competitions later over his attention. Oscar never notices of course.

Emerald and Oscar both have scars that they want to hide, and both spend some time talking about those experiences.

They both start using hand motions and just glances to get through to each other, and both team JNR + RWBY don't know what to make of it.

Emerald is the wingwoman who helps Oscar get a date with Ruby in turn, the farmboy helps her set up a few dates with Mercury.

They both sometimes joke about who has the best relationship. Usually its Emerald due to knowing Mercury longer, all things considered.

Oscar's aunt ends up offering to make Emerald part of her family, and Emerald ends up crying while accepting the offer.

That's all I could think of with this strange friendship. Its great to work with these characters.

Also for the fact that writing these two turned out to be a lot of fun.

I was just thinking on how Nora and Oscar could nickname Emerald as Emy.

Then I thought of Oscar's name.

The emerald sibs are really...

The Oscars and the Emmys.

[your-mums-nuts]

My baby angels who also have malicious intentions with you (they took your wallet)

[angstandhappiness]

LMAO

Oscar, walking up to Ren and Nora while holding Emerald’s hand: Can we keep her?

Ren: It’s a big responsibility…

Oscar: Pleeeeease? She doesn’t bite!

Emerald: Yes the fuck I do

Nora: Nice, let’s keep her

[threbe]

Figured I'd post my favorite characters of colors since this Black History month so here are mine from the show rwby

And say what you like I know a lot of people may or may not think of him that way but I see Oscar is black / mixed

When you look at the main cast unless you know that some of them are Asian you just see what looks like white characters even on the secondary team they all just seem like white passing characters even ran who even though you can tell he's Asian coded same with blake

Oscar Maria and emerald if you count them as a part of the main cast like I do or the only few characters are of a dark skin tone

Even looking back at the earlier volumes of Ruby like volumes 1-3 one of the few black characters you have that people mainly recognize our emerald there are a few others that get introduced but they're such minor characters they're not a lot of people even mention them

I'm hoping we get a few more characters whenever we get volume 10 and I do hope that they are black

I also kind of hope the writers get better at writing characters of color because every time they write a character a color in this show they just get killed off or have to be redeemed or they're making bad decisions for no reason and yeah like even with the aesops they reviewed as the enemy so the latter half of volume 7 and even all through Volume 8

But there's something about the Aesop's characters and how they were portrayed I didn't like that well besides maybe marrow he seemed the most relatable and it's not just because we actually spent more time with him on screen it's just something about how the others and even other black characters have kind of been written in the show that just rubs me the wrong way as a black person I've seen a few others talk about this like I said I just hope we get some more black characters and later volumes if we get them and that they're written a bit better

i think there would be a really easy way to combine the first oz books wherein dorothy aids in the discovery of ozma and in learning of the wizard's misdeeds against a land not his own she would have a firmer compassion to the place she was trying to escape from and we could feel satisfied when she returns to kansas

[tecnestheim962]

Emerald in Vacuo at some point probably:

Emerald: I’ve only known this kid for a day and a half, but if anything (else) happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.

Nora: You know, I might actually be starting to like you.

Bonus:

*after Emerald’s statement*

Ozpin: *somehow sipping his hot cocoa from within Oscar’s consciousness* I second that statement.

Oscar: Wh- Oz how would that even be possib-

Ozpin: I. Second. That. Statement.

[rwby-encrusted-blog]

Emerald: *Hugging Oscar* Who needs therapy when you've got family?

Ruby: Who needs antidepressants when you got boba?

[rwby-encrusted-blog]

Oscar: *Sitting in a chair, steepling his fingers* Hello Ruby.

Ruby: Uh ... Hey Oscar? What's up?

Oscar: So ... You're dating Emerald?

Ruby: Uh, yes?

Oscar: I had thought so. Please take care not to hurt her, she means a great deal to me-

Ruby: Wait, are you giving me the shovel talk?

Oscar: Not Quite. I won't be threatening you, and even if I did, I have no doubt that you could well and truly defend yourself from me.

Oscar: I'm simply asking you to be Patient with her. She's still recovering from all that Cinder and Salem had done to her. I have no doubt that she will make mistakes in the future, and it will require patience for her to learn to let you help recover from said mistake.

Ruby: I know Oscar. I've been there- in a some kind of similar position at least - I planned on it happening, and I was going to do that anyway.

Oscar: I'm just making sure. Thank you Ruby.

Ruby: Not a problem Oscar.

~~~~~

Yang: *Playing Superb Strike Siblings with Emerald* You hurt Ruby, I'll kill you.

Emerald:*Button Mashing* If I hurt Ruby, I'll let you.

Rosegarden and Emerald city siblings brainroot:

Im thinking on Ruby and Emerald having a small rivalry because in the months/year RWBYJ where in the Ever After Emerald became Oscar's partner, and she feels like its her duty to keep him safe. Meanwhile Ruby, with the death Oscar Ilussion still fresh on her mind, she feels the need to protect him. And also the fact that on Ruby's timeline, Emerald defected like yesterday and she doesnt know if she can trust her, even less with Oscar safety on the line.

You could tell Oscar is pretty done with both of them.

Also they having to team up to save Oscar when he eventually gets himself in trouble/captured/goes missing (bcs of course he would).

[tecnestheim962]

YES

And this is so important because in V5 when Yang first met him and found out about Oz and everything, she was so distrustful of him or rather Oz. And she hasn’t really been shown interacting that much with him. At least, that’s what I remember from V5 and V6, I would have to go back and watch it again to confirm.

And look at his reaction! He looks so confused like, “I thought you didn’t like me? And even if that wasn’t the case, I thought you just tolerated me like everyone else?”

I think after the stuff in V6 with Oscar going out of his way to help in spite of Oz, and his determination to try and fight even though he knows he doesn’t have much time and that Salem can’t be killed, working just as hard, if not harder than the rest of them in a completely new environment with no prior experience and not even the assistance of the old wizard that got him there in the first place, Yang views him differently.

She has always been the protective guardian (aside from Qrow of course) of the group. The confrontational one who is not afraid to use any means necessary to protect her friends and family. While Ruby is the leader that everyone looks to for a plan and hope, Yang is the one they look to for approval. If she doesn’t agree with something or someone, there’s tension in the whole group. If you get on her bad side, you will know it and deeply regret it.

Yang has always been one to speak through her actions, not because she can’t use her words effectively, because we all know that her words can and have been so powerful in the past. But, especially when it comes to affection, respect, and care, she uses her actions as her expressive medium.

I believe this was her way of expressing acceptance and letting him know that she considers him to be a part of the team just like everyone else. Her subtle way of letting him in. Not only does this reassure that she trusts and respects him. Not only is she letting her heavy guard down around him (her own walls and the protective barriers around her friends), but she is also pulling him within those barriers. He is now someone she wants to protect along with the others.

I think this contributes a lot to his “I was starting to feel like a part of the team.” He had just been completely let in. Everyone was finally starting to see him as Oscar and not just Ozpin’s successor. It was subtle, but Yangs actions no doubt made him feel integrated rather than separate from the rest of them, removing any tension that might have been left from her animosity towards Ozpin.

I could definitely be reading too much into this, but the fact that she was leaning on him for quite a bit of time was definitely intentional by the animators. I’d like to think that this is what it meant because I love my wholesome bean and I love Yang, and it just seems like something that’s plausible.

Let me know what you guys think!

Side note:

Another thing that I could see happening with this in mind is Yang leaning on him in a “Ha you’re so short that I can use you as an armrest!” Followed by aggressively ruffling his hair as if he’s her adorable baby brother.

I dunno, their sibling dynamic is so fluffy and adorable I love it!

Underrated character beat is Oscar realizing too late that Yang becoming the cool big sister you never knew you wanted is non-negotiable when you hang with this crew.
