i have to hand it to the lies of p team they really got my ass. they open up their game with "in honor of the great writer carlo collodi" and then part of their main message is that obeying your elders is not always right. based

[megashadowdragon]

oscar pine will join team jnpr and be the new p his inspiration is tip/ozma

Given that Oscar's last name is Pine (and that last names are used to make team names, like Sky Lark of CRDL and May Zedong of BRNZ and lie ren ( ren was his last name his fathers name was li ren  (in that spelling) )  ( plus it fits for him to join team jnpr (juniper) since  Both Pines and Junipers are evergreen trees ) and that he's got Ozpin's cane, I think he will be  Pyrrha's replacement especially since ozpins aura is merging/merged with oscar  ( he's a reincarnation who goes from person to person by merging with their Aura ) which led him to go on his journey and pyrrhas arc/crisis in v3 had been about possibly going through the procedure to forcibly merge ambers aura with pyrrhas  and losing her identity and oscar is going through that process ( though the process is natural very different from the mechanical transfer done to Amber and Pyrrha, ozpin had reason to believe it would be similar to his own experience ) with ozpin  and we get to see what would have possibly happened to pyrrha

 (   in ozpins original body  he was named ozma (so rwbys ozpin/ozma is a reference to both princess ozma and the wizard of oz)  ozma   is based on princess ozma and oscar pine represents tip who was princess ozma turned into a boy where  she lived most of her life on the farm and oscar lived on a farm for most of his life

Ozma was first introduced in the original book series as a boy named Tip who got an involuntary sex-change by the Wicked Witch of the North

http://oz . wikia . com/wiki/Tip who lived with the old witch Mombi on a farm in the Gillikin Country of the magical Land of Oz.  and oscar  pine lived on a farm with his aunt 

Princess Ozma and Tip are basically the same person.

http://oz . wikia . com/wiki/Princess_Ozma

princess Ozma   and rwbys ozma both carried around a scepter.   . ( I believe that ozma and oscar are both wizard of oz and princess ozma and tip

 and oscar  inherited ozpins cane  (so basically oscar pine is a reference to tip and oscar has the same voice actor as ozma and has a strong resemblance to ozma (ozpins original body)

It fits with JNPR's theme of being heroes who have crossdressed in their stories ( including actually pretending to be of the opposite gender with an exception being  joan of arc jaunes inspiration who people knew was a woman ) and being the opposite gender of the heroes who they were based ( the gender they dressed up as ) on  

(basically being genderflips of characters who have crossdressed

jaune = joan of arc

pyrrha nikos = achilles ( a man disguised as a red haired woman named pyrrha) nora = thor ( who disguised himself as freya)

lie ren = mulan ( disguised as a male soldier

so oscars inspiration being ozma would fit that since ozma was turned into a male by the wicked witch of the north

and ozma being forced into a body that wasn't hers  which is referenced with ozmas reincarnation curse

and ozma/ozpins reincarnation curse is also a reference to how  In the original The Wizard of Oz book, the Wizard appeared to Dorothy and her friends in several different forms all claiming to be the same person. 

and more references that ozpin has to the wizard of oz is 

The initials of the Wizard's name, Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkel Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs, spell OZPINHEAD, which may be the origin of Ozpin's name, as well as his position as headmaster of Beacon Academy.

The Wizard lived in Emerald City, and Ozpin's green motif likely comes from this.

In "Known by its Song", Raven Branwen states that "Old Man Oz has a great and terrible secret". This  alluded to the Wizard's title, "Oz, The Great and Terrible."

Oscar's first name suggests that he is also inspired by the Wizard of Oz, like Ozpin is (that he has the same first name certainly lends to this).  in the books oscar Diggs supplanted the true ruler of Oz, Princess Ozma, in order to take over.  and  with  Ozpin's backstory reveal,  of each incarnation gaining the spirit of Ozma before Ozma eventually takes over. In this case, the roles are played with. Ozma will always reincarnate into a new host, in a sense, taking over their body, while Oscar, the latest incarnation   is at risk of this happening, but desperately doesn't want it to happen. The usurper however isn't happy about it though, and tries to work with owner of the body rather than just take over, much like how Oscar Diggs eventually returned to Oz and became a trusted ally to Ozma. Only difference is, the roles are reversed.

so ozma/ozpin alludes to both princess ozma and the wizard of oz, and so does  oscar who was a farm boy  which connects to ozma starting off as a farm boy named tip ( and you could  say that oscar specifically references tip )  and his first name being the same as the wizard of oz

so oscar alludes to both wizard of oz and  ozma  

and there is a theory by @littlemisssquiggles that oscar is ozmas true incarnation

littlemisssquiggles . tumblr . com/post/184013705754/so-i-had-a-bit-of-a-thought-going-off-the-theory

The popular notion with RWBY Theorists is that Oscar is based off of Princess Ozma/ Tip. This is why I love the concept of Oscar being revealed as the original Ozma—His true reincarnation as the revival of his original form resurrected in Modern Remnant.

Just as how Tip was later revealed to be Princess Ozma—the rightful ruler of Oz, I believe that Oscar is Ozma’s true incarnate. Unlike the previous Wizards of Light who were the lives of other men that only Ozma’s soul was only paired too, Oscar is Ozma himself. The adolescent version of his previous form reborn in current time.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The war with Salem started with Ozma and I believe it would be fitting for it to end with him. Ozma was the beginning and Oscar is the end.

I really like this because it paints a pretty fitting twist. I quite dig the irony of Oscar worrying about losing himself to the Merge when the reality is that he isn’t destined to lose himself but be made complete. The Wizard persona is neither Professor Ozpin nor Ozma. Ozpin described himself as a culmination of his old self and the many men who sacrificed their lives for the greater good of humanity.

By my hunches, Oscar is just like Eriol Hiiragaizawa from Sakura Cardcaptors. In Sakura Cardcaptors, Eriol was one half of Clow Reed—the most powerful sorcerer in the world and creator of the Clow Cards. The other half of Clow Reed was Fujitaka Kinamoto —the father of our protagonist: Sakura Kinamoto. Unlike Fujitaka, Eriol retained all the magical power and memories of Clow Reed.

What if…Oscar Pine is just Fujitaka Kinamoto in this sense? What if…Ozma’s reincarnation was divided in two: body and soul? While Ozma’s soul was reincarnated and paired with the souls of many other men over the years, he never regained his original body. At least, not until his original form was revived in current Remnant as a 14 year old farm boy from Mistral named Oscar Pine?

While Ozma’s soul, similar to Eriol, retained his memories and magical power; Oscar—the adolescent embodiment of Ozma’s original form did not. At least, not until Professor Ozpin—the current Wizard person became paired to Oscar. 

people might say that Oscar is a reference to Dorothy because of the aunt but Dorothy was never ozs successor and Dorothy was  already referenced in ruby rose 

http://sssn-neptune-vasilias . tumblr . com/post/133239047708/a-thought

there are three more main protagonists missing! Dorothy, Toto, and the Cowardly Lion. The identities to the first two are easy. Just look for the girl with ruby red slipp-

-boots. We’ve even got our trusty canine companion!”

though in the in the wizard of oz books the slippers dorothy had  werent ruby slippers but silver slippers so ruby rose has  references to  the slippers  from both the book and movies with her name and her eye color/ the silver eyed warrior powers which possessed great power and when ruby revealed them the bad guys became interested in her so  and ozma and dorothy were best friends so it would fit for oscar/ozma to be close to ruby which is what I and @littlemisssquiggles predict what will happen in the  future

and so it would fit with the theme they all have had  unlike penny whose inspiration pinocchio never crossdressed

, achilles, thor, joan of arc, mulan  all crossdressed

 but pyrrha, nora and rens inspirations are the only ones who had lied and claim they were of the opposite sex (achilles and thor pretended to be women while mulan pretended to be a man) while joan of arc crossdressed people knew she was a woman  so ozma will be the only one who crossdressed unwillingly by being turned into a member of the opposite sex

edit ( I had made several edits my original version had oscar as ozma with his aura merging  with the character who alludes to ozpin but given how the first incarnations name was ozma I think   maybe they  both reference ozma 

https://megashadowdragon . tumblr . com/post/152357996242/salem-is-jaunes-evil-counterpart/embed

and the ozma and pyrrha parallels adds to my belief that oscar will join team jnpr  as the new p

alexkablob . tumblr . com/post/179967541409/i-just-cannot-believe-for-years-now-ive-been

I just cannot believe

for years now I’ve been saying Arkos was classic heroic romance tropes with Pyrrha in the classical male role and Jaune in the classical female role

and this is actually true in-universe, because Pyrrha parallels Oz and Jaune parallels Salem.

Arkos is paralleling Ozpin and Salem but better and not screwing up the way they did, with Pyrrha as Ozpin and Jaune as Salem

(the multiple scenes where ozma disintegrating in the exact same fashion that pyrrha nikos had disintegrated in at the end of v3

There’s also the part where Jaune was unable to save Pyrrha  and had to struggle with a death wish (seriously jaune was borderline suicidal and some may say that was until his fight with cinder  but I think its still there )

https://alexkablob . tumblr . com/post/179997954479/ozmas-pyrrha-parallels-are-making-jaunes-current?is_liked_post=1

Ozma’s Pyrrha parallels are making Jaune’s current suicidal tendencies even more painful tbh

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT OZ AND SALEM WERE ACTUALLY GENDER-FLIPPED ARKOS “

I mean seriously Ozma is destroyed by the God of Light  and darkness in the same manner that Cinder destroyed Pyrrhas body

and I forgot to add about how salem was suicidal

Righteousness   n. the quality of being morally right or justifiable.

sunder-the-gold . tumblr . com/post/180072404979/alexkablob-so-ozpin-interrupting-the-light

So.

Ozpin interrupting the Light God to say “I’ll do it” before he fully understood what was being asked of him.

And the Light god just taking it as assent without explaining further.

Wow I guess we know now why he looked so stricken when Pyrrha did the exact same thing before he’d finished explaining.”

sunder-the-gold

And then Ozpin said, “No, please, let me explain what this could do to you.”

and even gave her time to think

.”  basically he saw the parallels between himself and pyrrha how  they said yes before they fully understood what was being asked of them and told her to think it over and explained what it could do to her and the way he described it sounded just  the way he described what was happening to oscar and him .

dustypotion . tumblr . com/post/179999477247/i-got-an-interesting-ask-from-an-anon-and-wanted

“ wanted to delve deeper into the idea that jaune and pyrrha are also mirrors of ozpin and salem. but here, jaune is the reflection of salem, while pyrrha is the reflection of ozpin. pyrrha was the righteous, moral, talented soldier while jaune is the grieving person that was saved, and sought vengeance for their lost love. pyrrha also stuck to a moral code, like ozpin did, while jaune and salem both used alternative, immoral methods to reach their goals. there’s also the fact that salem’s emblem looked like jaune’s AND jaune’s semblance has the same visual look of the magic that made salem immortal “

edit : plus it would be neat because it would require jaune to go development where he loses the resentment at ozma and realizes it wasnt ozmas fault that pyrrha chose to go fight cinder  that she chose to be the fall maiden and that ozma gave her the choice to say no he explained what it could do to her and gave her time to think it over ( people bring up ozpin not telling her about salem etc but he really couldnt he couldn’t give her the entire story without basically forcing her into the fold. He told her as much as he could for her to make a decision without giving her so much they couldn’t take no for an answer. He urged her to think it through and not make a choice too quickly. and let her know what it could do to her rather than taking her I´ll do it as assent  which the god of light did without explaining further    and even at the fall he hesitated and asked her again if she was sure and when she nodded he said he needed her to say it 

a long ask I sent to kiwi about  my thoughts on what I hope happens in the future with jaune and ozma:

https://the-kiwi-is-not-a-pewee . tumblr . com/post/180355610925/a-long-ask-my-hopes-about-jaune-and-ozpin

plus it would be fitting for jaune to end up befriending both ozma  and oscar. and it would be fitting for oscar/ozma  to be jaunes new  partner for jaunes inspiration is a saint and ozmas goal is to unite humanity to survive judgment day to have them find absolution.  which is somethings that the catholic ( among other religions) believe will happen someday (judgement day )  and  absolution is a part of catholicism the belief that people can be forgiven for their sins which is what god wants and god in catholicism end up wiping almost all of humanity out because of their sins     https://en . wikipedia . org/wiki/Absolution

the parallels  between  ozma and pyrrha add to my belief that jaune and ozma will reconcile and become close to each other

plus joan of arc was a saint noted for hearing messages from dead saints and god where at first she was put on tasks until she was put on a “divine mission from god “ ( vision of god )  and ozma literally received his mission of uniting humanity from god and his reincaarnation process starts when he appears as a voice in someones  head

I'd like to know if you could share some of your favorite art that you drew? since you have fantastic drawings 😊

you're very sweet, thank you! favorite pieces Of All Time would be too hard to pick i think so i'll share some of my (somewhat recent) favorite pieces ive done.

(DISCLAIMER: apparently there's quite a few i wanted to share so. sorry about the fact that there's 14 down below. lol)

^one of my first attempts with my new toned sketch style. and the first thing i drew this year! getting expressions/posing just the way i imagined is always a rare treat for me LOL so im also really happy with that still

^probably my favorite ive done with one of my Other new styles (semi-lineless painting) (along with the first i did with my favorite oc lol) kind of funny to have this as one of my favorites. like of course one of these answers would be pinocchio. but i really like this style because i try not to use any effects like glow or multiply. all the shading, highlights, and stuff like that here is just regular paint

^more disney... sigh. well these ones are sentimental because i love these guys and drew the first one on my bday which was also when this parade debuted at disneyland again. ive been called insane to have done that one entirely in one day but honestly that just makes me happy because i think ive really developed a good process for sketches like this to make them look nice AND to enjoy making them. the other was made after the last show of said parade and it was just fun to draw a bunch of characters interacting while trying to keep them in character

^too embarrassed to say what this is other than it's insane oc/canon art BUT i really love this new toned sketch style i do as i said above. and the left one came out nice i think! particularly fond of the wings and facial expressions! and the second one... well i really think it's just one of the best ive done of this character. his hair and proportions on his features just came out so well... ok im gay moving on

^dont even remember if this was this year or not but let's pretend it is. this one is self-explanatory i think. BIG lineup (for me anyway) and it's of the party from my first ever dnd campaign! very special

^these ones look simple but they both show things that became SO much more. the first one... it's a catalyst. the start of making what was originally just a COMPLETE joke character into one of my favorite ocs. a treasure. isnt he cute :3c and then the second one is my character i made for a custom ttrpg which ended up being one of the best EVER!!!!!!!! augh. a brilliant campaign made by my very talented friend that ive shared a bit of here

^idk this is just a cool prompt im proud of. "draw your ocs in fairytales/folktales" and i went mad (i love fairytales/folktales) and just did a bunch of them. in my painting style. can u guess which story is which (little hooded cloak man has the most niche one)

^pinocchio madness has done a few positive things for me. one, this oc my friend and i made for pinocchio is so precious, i really love their relationship and they bring me so much joy. but ive also developed my skills with expressiveness by studying and drawing disney's pinocchio. these are good examples of posing and expressions im really happy with (can u tell im really focused on expressions LOL). also pinocchio helped me get back to animation work??? wild

^i am pretty much always happy with how my "screenshot" styled pieces turn out, but this is the most recent one! glad to share this one too since it is literally fanart of the efteling which is that themepark im not normal about

OK IM STOPPING NOW. THANK U
