Immortality? It was never worth it.

All this time, it's pouring through the sand beneath my feet

Every life, I fight aganst that which I can't defeat

Every soul a burden, getting heavier each time

Will this version too be lost to the voices in our mind?

And am I me, this composition creature I've become

Can't ask for help, it's gone too far and I've become too numb

This destiny I never asked for, but I never can escape

The cycle starts again, must I face again this fate?

He is so young, but every version feels that way to me

Merely a child, shaking, as he asks to be set free

He's not a hero, not a warrior, at least he isn't yet

Just a boy left drowning in my ocean of regret.

My allies see him, maybe, but I cannot trust

They'll let him choose his ending, as each of us must

And maybe, somehow soon at least he'll rest

Of all my incarnations, he feels better, is it best?

To let him have control of that which rests within his reach

And learning from his own mistakes so maybe he can teach

Them to to the next, if next there is, if he is not the last

Oh child, I'm so sorry, this should still have been my task

I swore to end the cycle, I swore to stop the tide

That my breath and choices would leave all of them alive

But power though they offered it, could never heal this world alone

I regret, oh I regret it now... I should have kept the throne.

[lethiepie]

The only thing I liked about the extended ending is 1) the RG crumbs and 2) the knowledge that Oz is fighting the merge all for Oscar’s sake. It makes my Ozdad heart happy to see.

Hey anon!

Couldnt agree more.

While the RG crumbs didn't surprise me one bit (lets be honest, it was OBVIOUS oscar was gonna get a reaction towards ruby's disappearance, like, come on. It's freaking Oscar Pining on Ruby Rose. She's clearly important to him just like his important to her, hi was inspired by her since the beginning, if we didn't get something, THAT was gonna be unexpected) it did bring a smile to my face cause, confirmation is always good right ?

Plus, I wasnt exactly sure if we were gonna get angry oscar or depressed oscar or anxious oscar, but I can see we got the whole package- So, that was also good to see.

and oh gosh the merge. yeS. that was also another thing I was happy that it was brought up, for most of us were afraid they would just.. skip the merge lore, and Im really glad to see that they plan to work on it, and even better, focus on it on v10, hopefully. With Ozpin and Oscar switching roles (Ozpin being the one who's giving his all to stop the merge, and Oscar lost in himself) hopefully we'll get to see more about lil farm boy and who he is/was.

But like I said, most of those things, I already expected, so, I wasnt much surprised, but I was glad, indeed, to see some theories get confirmed.

what Did surprise me tho, was seeing Nora's and Ren's pov in all of this, like, of course we knew they were gonna be miserable, but, gaH. Nora's monologue ???? it's. so. painful to watch, and it gives us so much of her, I feel like Nora and Oscar will bond a lot in V10 cause they're both on a journey to "find out who you are"

Ren's perspective was pretty interesting to see, and I wonder if we'll get to see Ruby and Ren bonding too ? (Cause Im a sucker for parallels lmao-)

With all that said, anon, you might have sent this duo a post I made some days ago. And sure, I was pretty content with it's content but.. sigh. I guess I still got a bit.. disappointed ? thats not the right word but. Ugh, I just dont want to get my hopes up for a v10 when we dont even have confirmation, and a v9 animatic is great but, everything can be discarded in a blink of an eye so.

idk, part of me is just trying not to get attached to the main focuses the animatic had (specially the RG crumbs) cause

everything could change and take different directions

so ye aksjka sorry for the long ramble, but Im glad you enjoyed the rg crumbs and merge situation ^^

Are you considering giving team OFFF a sibling dynamic since they technically have the same Ozdad?

Oh yes, that was the whole idea~

Naturally, Oscar would be the baby of the "family" within this dynamic (kind of like a stepbrother~), as a freshman huntsman and a normal human who's younger than the rest by literal millennia. ^^

I think this would have the biggest impact on Fleur (Spring) who's very anxious and unsure about being any kind of mentor figure, since she's used to being the actual youngest. I think she'd be the type to freak out (and possibly run...) if Oscar asked her for advice. ^^;

Fengo (Summer), being the middle child, would just be super happy to have a new friend to talk to and teach about anything and everything. ^^ I think he and Oscar would spend the most time together.

Fletra (Fall), as the oldest and true leader of the team, would probably be mostly unaffected; looking after a shy farm boy would be a cakewalk compared to looking after her actual siblings. ^^;

She might also be the most...pessimistic about seeing Oz as a real father figure, unlike Oscar who's on-board 100%, and the other two who might look at Oscar and Oz's relationship and go "hey...maybe...we could also try...?" I think she'll first have to come to terms with her feelings of abandonment concerning her own older sister (Winter) before she can entertain that idea.

Ozpin: *walks outside* ...

Ozpin: *stares up at James and Salem, megaphone in hand* ....

Ozpin: *takes a breathe* Whoever decided to put their hands on my kid—

Oscar: *buries his face in Ozpin’s coat*

Ozpin: Please come outside so I can’t peacefully break your legs....

babie on maths homework what he do

[masterfoxpin]

I just fell in love with baby Oscar and Ozdad. Thnks to @bravenurse and @lieu-rey for feeding me with such amazing content. ♥

[canefought]

going through my archived blog and reading how ozpin and oscar used to interact with each other makes the farm boy miss his soul companion.

“ i still don’t understand why you insist on doing this. “  he doesn’t know how they got here; ozden has done all he can to try and make the fusion as easy as possible for ozpin. yet here they are, the needle etching ink upon the flesh of their back in a clear act of rebellion. perhaps ozden was too complacent in his own acceptance of the task, but things are different went the late king of vale has taken up permanent residence in one’s head.

“ look, i understand you are trying to keep your identity, but getting a spontaneous tattoo is not the way to go about doing it. “

Ozdad and Oscar in Sunny Leaves? ^_^

When you're in the middle of an important meeting with the Vacuan council and have to stay calm and serious but the old guy living in your head keeps cracking jokes and making you laugh

Excuse me but pirate AU??? With Ozpin??? 👀👀 care to elaborate? Does the man have a crew? Is he the captain??? Please tell me Oscar is his first mate/son boi, Ozdad??? I need to knowwwww

Yes!! Pirate AU with Ozpin!!!

It’s the only pirate AU I have going, you can find everything for it on my blog under #pirate au

He is the Captain and he does have a crew! So far the crew of the Long Memory consists of Glynda, Amber, Leo (👀), and Oobleck. No, I didn’t forget Port, he has a different roll in this one.

Oscar is like a bonus member of the crew! Ozpin... found him. And offered to let him stay on his ship, though after that he kinda becomes Oz’s mini-me, he’s always at Oz’s side and Oz teaches him everything he can! (So, yes, Ozdad!) I do have a design for him, It’s old though so it might get a reboot soon.

And well... there might be a stowaway on Oz’s ship...

Infinity Train AU: An Dadpin and Oscar story

So this is something that @immortal-green-snom and I talked about and that @brunswickfarms seemed to love, over on the Oscar Protection Squad discord. I have so many ideas and AUs in my head that I just can’t write for them all. So for this I decided to just do pins instead of my thought process and ideas for it and let you all roll with it. 

The story begins in an Orphanage where Oscar has been since he was 4 years old. 

He’s kinda living in an Annie situation, where he doesn’t want to get adopted because he knows that his parents and or his Aunt will come back for him one day. 

One day he sneaks into and steals his file that was locked behind a cabinet and is horrified to realize that there is a document stating that his Aunt and parents died in a car crash years ago and that Oscar was to be placed for adoption within the next three weeks 

This causes Oscar to become very distraught but immediately denies the claim and leaves that night to go search for his parents

He doesn’t get maybe three miles down the road before a train the sign on top saying Mistral, which is the only knowledge he had about his parents at all was they were from Mistral. 

Even though he knew going near it was a bad idea, Oscar decided that we was desperate enough to get on board. He opens the cart door, a bright light starts to form in the darkness of the train cart and then he wakes up in a maze with the number 107 glowing a crossed his hand 

Then while he’s running around, trying to find a way out, frantically calling out for help, he quite literally bumps into a man with White Hair, strange glasses and a dark green suit. 

The man looks at him, sees how scared he is, sees his number going up and immediately kneels down, “Breathe, it’s alright. Just breathe.” 

Oscar by this point is literally about to have a panic attack: “W-Where am I???” 

And Ozpin, still having a soft spot for children, places a gentle hand on Oscar’s shoulder: “Remember to breathe. You are on a train.” 

Oscar: “G-Going where?”

Ozpin: “I don’t know. I’ve been here for a long time and it doesn’t appear to have a destination.”

After Oscar has calmed down, Ozpin explains what he knows about the train, Which is little to nothing at all. Ironic considering that he had been on the train for the the total of 7 years now. He got on the train when he was 23 years old and has been there ever since. The only thing he does know is that they can’t leave.

Cue Oscar sticking to Oz like glue because he’s the only adult that has bothered to help him and he desperately wanted help and guidance in a place that didn’t make sense. Explaining that he needs to get off the train because he needs to find his family in Mistral. 

Big ol’ puppy dog eyes and Ozpin immediately caves in. and decides to help him but would not be going any further then that. 

Adventures in various carts happen. 

And eventually Oscar realizes that his number had gone down from 107 to 50 after he and Oz had a moment where Oz safes him from falling from a high place and they are clinging to each other, fearfully. 

 And we see Oz’s side on thing, see that his number which had been 600 had been going down slowly ever since they had met and started to bond and was now 300:

He found a kind of peace in the Train because here he didn’t have to worry about being a burden to his friends and family and that’s not what the train is suppose to do. It’s not a home for passengers. The train is there to teach lessons. 

But then after a while Oz’ issues and self hatred towards himself even got in the way of him enjoying the train. And then he finds Oscar and things start to change.

Soon Oscar informs him of a situation. Why he ran away and why he was looking for his parents and Aunt was because he had lived in an orphanage and a document said they had died. 

It didn’t take Oz long to put together as he looked at the document, that was indeed real. After that he decided that he was going to whatever he could to get off the train because he knew that even if Oscar’s number reached zero and he escaped he had no one out there and would be all alone.

Eventually the truth comes out and Oscar as to finally accept that his parents were gone and that he was indeed an orphan his number goes up because he realizes he’s all alone and his number goes from 50 to 400 and he has a panic attack

But Oz is there and grabs Oscar by the shoulders and tell him that he isn’t alone. Tells Oscar that he was just a broken man, who was and is nothing but Oscar made him feel alive again. They found each other and that they were going to get off this train together and stay together and Oz would adopt him. 

And then Oz says those three magical words, “I love you” and Oscar says them too, Then they’re hands glow and and Oscar’s number hits 0 while Ozpin’s stays at 6 

A door appears and immediately starts sucking Oscar in. both are panicking Oscar is holding onto Oz for dear life and Oz is holding him just as tightly. 

Oz is terrified, because Oscar is being pull away from him and he knows the kid will be all alone. And he wants his number to go down. It’s literally at 6 but has been stuck like that for a while and doesn’t know what else to do to reach 0

And then Oscar is gone, having faded away right in front of Oz. And he’s so distraught that his number skyrockets to 300 as he just sobs and screams at the train for taking away Oscar just when he was starting to feel like he mattered again.

 Oz’s journey is learning to accept himself, accept the mistakes he’s made and realizes they weren’t as bad as he thought they were. 

His journey is not only to find a purpose (which is Oscar, to raise him and care for him) but also to live not just for Oscar but live for himself,

 And only then, does his number finally reach 0. 

His portal opens up, he jumps through it and arrives exactly where Oz had been years ago, and begins his journey to better himself and find Oscar.

They find each other and work together to become better people in the future.

This is a story about accepting loss and letting others in. About accepting your faults and choosing to look in the mirror and love yourself and choose to live 

Oscar needed to accept that his birth parents are gone, he needed to let someone else in, let someone take care of him and love him 

And Oz needed to accept that he isn’t this awful person he believes himself to be. He needed to find a purpose and that purpose is not only caring for Oscar. But also to live for himself. 

I wish I had the energy to write a full fledged story but I sadly can’t. So i’ll leave it up to you all. my fellow writers and artists of Ozdad and farmson, who love the concept of Oscar and Oz being family as much as I do, to either completely ignore this AU or do have at it. 

Also if anyone wants to ask me questions feel free to just sent me an ask

[pilot-boi]

I’d love to see you do your FAAU of Oz and Oscar in your palette challenge. Also if you wanna talk about them more I’d be down to see you infodump because Ozdad is my beloved

A mongoose and a chipmunk

Oscar is adopted, but Ozpin adopted him when he was very young. His parents died in an accident that only Oscar survived. Ozpin was the one to give him the news

That’s all I’ve got in the way of infodumping, I’m head empty right now sry

[gltoshi]

Your art of Ozpin is the most gorgeous thing ever?? I’d love to see you draw Oscar too if you ever want too. Maybe Oz and Oscar together being wholesome Ozdad and farmkid or them just looking cool together

Hehe, thanks for complimenting my Oz, it's really sweet. And yes, I don't mind drawing Oscar, tbh Oz as the father and Oscar as the son are my favorite duet. Besides, I've already started drawing 'em :)

[starlightshadowsworld]

Noticed that you were recommended a Ozdad fic and I thought I’d get on that train too (hopefully you haven’t read these already that):There’s this one by ShadowSnowApple. And this one by Squiped_Mew. And finally this one by AngelofFate

Aw thank you, that's very kind. I believe I have read the last one but the second was lovely. I love Oz being there for Oscar, protectively mad that everyone's taking it out on Oscar but being there for him every step of the way even if both are afraid.
