#OSCAR PINE PROTECTION SQUAD

[sunnysunsins]

I'm just rolling with random sketch ideas

During Vacuo timeskip kekekek, boys training together. Someone please tell Whitley why picking up Oscar with the Hound might be a bad idea

[tecnestheim962]

V10 hasn’t even been greenlit but it’s literally set up with Oscar Suffering so it’s safe to say that crwby will be continuing to meet their quota of putting him through it:

V4: Ozpin scares the living gajeebus out of him causing him to fall and cause a farm tool fiasco (like I know he fell into hay but have you ever fallen onto a thin layer of hay? Its like a bunch of tiny needles stabbing you everywhere so I’m counting it)

Also I feel like the Hazel scene with the ticket machine was just foreshadowing for V8 in the worst ways possible.

V5: ruby punched him square in the face with no aura activation.

Ozpin took over his body without consent and proceeded to do some sick moves that a normal 14 year old farm hand should not be able to do without collapsing, hence he collapsed afterwards. It sounds like he was out for days and even when he got up and Ozpin was taking over, he was using his cane like a crutch so I’m sure Oscar probably was just immobile for days from overexertion.

V6: the infamous Qrow sucker punch

Nora literally tackling him to the ground

Jaune manhandling him

Having all of RWBYJNR tackle him

The plane crash

V7:

Kobalt picking him up by the head like he’s a rag doll while training

Neo definitely put him through it based on his appearance

Getting shot off the edge of a floating city

V8:

The hound

The whale

Need I say more?

V9:

Even though it was an illusion he still found a way to get hurt by being sliced by crescent rose :’)

Also if you count the epilogue as a part of it than that

V10:

Yay the merge is here!

Anyways: oscar pine protection squad assemble and ready yourselves, we may not make it out of this one

Sometimes I wonder what it would actually be like to be a huntess. Then I recall the time I was almost literally murdered by a flying squirrel irl and question how long I would last against an actual Grimm, flying squirrel based or otherwise

Deaged Oz AU - Custody Arrangements

Em Pine sighed in frustration as she filled out yet another form to try to become the legal guardian of her new nephew. She didn't remember it being this complicated to claim custody of Oscar, surely it shouldn't be in Oz's case? She double checked to make sure the birthdate matched the other forms, happy she'd asked what Oz's birthday was before they'd left. (He'd sounded so confused, the poor dear, as though he didn't think he deserved one.) So much about Oz made her angry, so many red flags. If she ever found his parents, they would be having words, she was very certain of that, if nothing else. She filed the latest form and left, at least they'd promised to actually look into things this time...

"There is no record of the boy in question. Denied." Was all the letter said. Just that and nothing more, so much for the promises they'd made. She stared down at it in frustration and anger before picking it up and storming back to the train station, hoping she'd make it in time before the office closed for the day. This needed to be sorted out as soon as possible, if only to give Oz some form of legal identity.

The official behind the desk sighed. "Look, ma'am, we can't find any record of this 'Tip Pine'. Do you have any proof he exists? Pictures, physical proof? The boy himself? Even talking to your nephew would help."

"I'm not certain where the boys are right now, they're travelling with a family friend and friends of their own, but I do have pictures, yes. She dug out her scroll and started to show the pictures to the official. Lots of images of Oscar and Oz together, a few of them with her, too. There were even a few they'd sent her of all nine kids together with Qrow in the background. The official tutted to himself.

"Tell you what, contact the older boy, see if he picks up. We'll go from there." He seemed willing to listen at least, though part of that might have been the sheer adorability of the boys in question. They'd looked so sweet asleep against each other in the house in Mistral. It had been rather nice of Qrow to send her that one.

Oscar blinked as his scroll rang, he hadn't been expecting a call after all. Pulling it out, he grinned at the caller ID.

"Hi, Aunt Em!"

"Oh, hello Oscar, do you have a minute?"

"Sure, what do you need?"

"I have a gentleman here that needs to talk to you, if that's alright?" She passed the scroll over to the official, who smiled.

"Hello there, you'd be Oscar Pine, correct?"

"Yes? Hello, who are you?"

"Well, my name is Aster Lyme and I work with the families department here in Haven. I just have a few questions regarding one Tip Pine? There are no records of him, you see. Your aunt claims that you see him as a brother?"

"The families department?" Oscar sounded confused, but shrugged. "Yes, Tip's my brother now. I always wanted a brother, and now I have one!"

The man smiled to himself. "Well, you certainly do sound very attached to him. Now, the records your aunt submitted claim that he's ten? Do you know his parents, at all?"

"Uh..." Oscar looked uncomfortable for a second. "I'm not sure who they are? He's never really talked about them. I can go and get him for you?"

"That might be for the best, yes."

Oz blinked as he accepted the scroll from Oscar, who just grinned at him, looking slightly confused.

"Hello?"

"Oh, hello there. You'd be Tip, right?"

"I, well, yes, who are you?"

"I'm Aster Lyme and I need to ask some questions, if that's alright? Do you know where your parents are? Or their names?" He sounded softer than he was when talking to Oscar, his eyes sympathetic as the little boy on the other end blinked in shock.

"I... I'm not sure who they were, why do you need to know?"

Oscar, in the background, sent a horrified look towards Oz. He hadn't known that his brother didn't even know who his parents had been. Who'd raised him, how... just, what?

"I work for the family department here in Mistral, an Emerald Pine has tried to claim custody of you, but your records are incomplete. Are you sure you don't know your parent's names, can't describe them at all?"

"I'm certain. i have no memory of them, I'm sorry."

The official sighed heavily. "No need to apologise, little one. I'll mark your parents as unknown, that's alright, I just needed to check."

Oz pouted slightly at being called little one, but still looked confused. "Aunt Em is trying to claim custody of me? But... why?"

"She seems rather attached to you, as does your brother. Now, do you know where you were born, at all? Or is that unknown, too?"

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm unsure. As stated, I don't really remember that, either."

"Noted. You have a Vale accent, so I'll note that as the possible origin point, but I think that should be just about everything. Nice to meet you both. I'll let you talk to your aunt for a while and thank you for the help!" The scroll was passed back to Aunt Em, who looked rather concerned.

"Aunt Em?" Oz sounded confused. "Why exactly are you trying to adopt me? I'm really, really honored by what you and Oscar have done for me, but custody? Really?"

"Oh, Tip. Is it really that hard to accept that we want you? You're my nephew, Oscar's brother. This just makes it official. And besides, it's only guardianship, just like I have with Oscar. Just because you don't know who your parents were doesn't mean that you didn't have them and I'd no more try to replace them than I would my sister and her husband. You're just gaining more family, and so am I."

"Yeah!" Oscar chimed in. "You're ours now, my brother and Aunt Em's nephew. Whoever raised you can't claim you anymore. You're safe."

"Safe?" Oz breathed, as though tasting the word for the first time. "I am unsure just what safe feels like, really."

The others, who had been trying hard not to listen in, glanced at each other, looking vaguely horrified.

"Oh, pocket sized." Jaune breathed. "None of us would ever hurt you, you really are safe here, or at least as safe as any of us are."

Oz looked deeply touched by the statement, smiling rather sadly back at Jaune. Aunt Em smiled to herself too, thankful that her boys had friends they could rely on.

Later, months after everything had been finalised, Em Pine got a call out of the blue herself. She answered it rather gingerly, not instantly recognising the man on the other end.

"Hello there, I'm General James Ironwood and I'm calling you regarding Oz. Well, and Oscar, I suppose. I was hoping you'd sign over custody to me. Surely they'd be better under my guidance."

"Excuse me?" She stated, flatly, eyes hard. "And just why would I give up custody of my nephews to you? I also note that you seem worryingly interested in Tip for an Academy Headmaster, does your council know about your predilictions?"

James spluttered out denials, face red as Em glared at him.

"What? What? No. Why would I, why would you imply... Oz is my friend. He needs protection while he's here, they both do. Not... not, that!" It was rather amusing for Winter Schnee, who was still in the room, to see her normally unflappable general in such a state. But then, this was a call involving her uncle and she'd heard... stories, about him, over the years.

"He may need your protection while he's there, but I'm not signing over custody. You can have temporary guardianship, but Oscar is my blood nephew and, as for Tip? There's a saying here in Mistral, General."

"Oh?" He still sounded vaguely dazed, but at least with temporary custody he could recover from the conversation. He might try again, then again, he might not.

"Yes. Finder's keepers. Tip is mine, go find your own."

Winter laughed. Maybe James had finally found his equal after all.

What a way to get Arnold notice-

[sunnysunsins]

Come on party people, we can do it! Oscar needs to sell just 37 more plushes to be funded!

[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.

"Even the inanimate objects in this world like beating up on Oscar."

The crew commentary for Vol. 8 has some great moments. I posted a short clip of them talking about Oscar here

Oscar isn't even in this volume but the kid still can't catch a break

[azureroses1]

Ok So to start off Aaron Dismuke is the kindest and sweetest person ever. I met him at a convention in Australia and was super excited since he plays basically my favourite character. In the context of Oscar Pine I first asked him about his one word in v9 and what it was like recording that. He responded that he couldn’t remember recording it but said it was probably at the end of v8’s recording. He didn’t know the context of the line and said that it was just ‘Ruby’ and I talked about the scene itself with the context. He then said he wish he knew more about the scene with the line in order to understand it’s impact. I then asked what it was like to voice a character like Oscar with a guy in his head and a whole lot of trauma. He said it was interesting. We then joked about Oscar and how every volume he is either hit, stabbed, punched,shot or abused even when he isn’t in the actual volumeI then asked in a joking manner what’s gonna happen next. I then asked his opinion on the merge which he says he believes he will be fine in the end. I told him that the farmboi must be protected and he chuckled saying yeah there’s an Oscar protection squad and they are working overtime. He does think the prospect of the merge is interesting but thinks the story should lie ultimately with team Rwby and their narrative. Also I don’t know what he knows so there’s that. I then mentioned RoseGarden (I was cosplaying as Ruby too) and how they support each other and that there’s a whole fandom that ships them. He chuckled at my mention of the ship and then came up with his idea for my audio recording. I guess he could see how animated and excited I was talking about it. So yeah a audio recording (that lead me to cover my mouth In shock) and a photo and autograph later I finally said that I hope v10 gets green-lit and he replied that it has to and then I ended the conversation joking that it ended with remnant burning. I thanked him endlessly for his time and I went off with the biggest smile on my face. Later that day I went to a panel with all the voice actors at the con and you wouldn’t believe the intro segment that they chose for the farm boy 😭 anyway that’s all for the moment. Also if we could leave this in tumblr for the moment that would be appreciated 😊
