#rwby why not oscar

Can we take a moment to appreciate just how well fed we are? Both in canon and beyond?

Oscar said "woah" the moment he first met Ruby.

"Woah. You have... silver eyes". Specifically.

The scene of them sparring at sunset and being goofy about it.

They're the two youngest members of the team, and both of their main allusions are stories about growing up (The Little Prince and Little Red Riding Hood).

Oscar's main allusion is of a character that's in love with a rose. Ruby's last name is Rose, she has a rose emblem, and can turn into rose petals.

They also have shared/parallel allusions from in-universe fairytales (Ex. The Boy Who Fell From The Sky, The Girl Who Fell Through the World, and most notably, The Warrior in the Woods).

The Dojo Scene

Their shared attachments to each other keep being put in focus.

Oscar cared more about Ruby being knocked out than Weiss being impaled at Haven.

Ruby's always watching his back in fights, and he always has hers in group conflict discussions.

Neo, the illusionist character, uses Oscar as both the first and last illusion to torture Ruby; going so far as to make Ruby "kill" him with her own hands. It could have been anyone, but it WASN'T. It was OSCAR.

Meanwhile, Oscar in the V9 epilogue laments to Ruby's "grave" about how he is struggling to hold onto who he is more than ever before. In large part because of the merge, but also because Ruby "always saw people for who they really were", and she's not around anymore to help remind him of who he is.

"You're your own person."

The Almost Hug.

The song that plays leading up to The Almost Hug is one about someone pining for a love they've lost and been separated from across worlds. The song airs a few episodes before Oscar and Ruby are the only "pairing" split up between Remnant and The Ever After. The song itself is called Treasure and Ruby is a type of precious gem, while Oscar's name alludes to gold.

Oscar's last name is Pine. Which, aside from the species of tree, is defined as: "to long or yearn for the return of something; to suffer, typically from a broken heart"(please see points 12 and 15).

They have multiple paralleling arcs and themes around choice, identity, responsibility, leadership, grief, etc.

Their character designs have complimentary colour schemes like other canon ships (red/green and silver/gold).

Sun/Moon ship

"Combat gear looks good."

They also follow the same story beats, separations, and reunions that other canon ships have in show (the meet-cute, the getting-to-know-you, the breakup arc, the distance makes the heart grow fonder trope, the (upcoming) emotional reunion, etc).

The animators, writers, and even voice actors on occasion, engage with fan content or discussions of the ship in a positive manner.

The Official RWBY Twitter Oscars Meme

Miles Luna has said a few times that the ship is cute. He also highlights that their relationship is built on mutual understanding from being in similar circumstances as the youngest kids in the group with too much weight on their shoulders.

Miles also said that in a hypothetical scenario where everyone celebrates Oscar's birthday, Ruby would buy a co-op video game as a present and the two of them would stay up really late playing it together.

Rosegarden won 2nd place in a popular RWBY YouTuber's "Top 10 RWBY Ships" poll as voted by fans after Volume 8 (it would have been third place if Renora and Bumbleby hadn't tied for first).

That one video from Aaron Dismuke, Oscar's VA.

"That kid's got a collapsible staff" -heart eyes emoji-

We've gotten a "Rosegarden Moment" in every Volume premiere since Oscar's debut in V4.

Oscar shouting Ruby's name too many times in the V6 fight against Cordovin.

Maria tells Oscar to "keep that fire fed" after he overhears Ruby talking about food always making her feel better. Then a few episodes later, he suspiciously makes a casserole for the "team" after "they" had a rough day (where he stood up for Ruby when she was looking defeated in a group argument).

Oscar's the only person Ruby opened up to about her grief until the blacksmith. Meanwhile, Ruby's the one who's always assuring Oscar he's his own person despite the merge.

The parallels of Oscar's struggle with the merge and Ruby's ascension in The Ever After.

"I'm just going to be another one of his lives, aren't I?" / "What if you could be anyone?"

Characters within the narrative regularly notice how close these two are to each other. Mainly Nora, Weiss, Yang, Cinder and Neo.

Oscar blushed when Ruby touched his shoulder???

THE FUMBLE?!?!?!?

[squipedmew]

Well, since OMEN has hijacked my brain YET AGAIN, I figured I'd go back and update Oscar's Salem-era design, since it was in DIRE need of a redo.

Figured I'd just go all-in on the whole 'possessed evil good-guy' aesthetic, and I also wanted to crank the horror factor up a little bit more, since everything I touch becomes at least a little bit horror-y these days. Blame my comic.

I tried to emulate both Salem's color palette, as well as some aspects of her Volume 7 outfit, with the bone accessories and stark red lines over black. The mask was somewhat modeled after an Ursa, and I also took a lot of inspiration from Neon White's mask.

Effect-less versions under the cut!

Dunno if this was ever brought up on this blog but according to this video all of Oscar’s laughs from V1-9 so far only amount to 35 seconds total

Literally 35 seconds. Thats just sad. Let that sink in.

Why must you hurt me like this?

Commission for Blackfyre! Thanks again for letting me draw some RG for you. 💕

not to be rwde but I think Jaune should've been the next avatar of Ozma and not Oscar

I like Oscar the kid is pure- im in the same position as Nora this kid is stupidly huggable (and that's saying something from someone as touch adverse as me) and that's my problem! Ozpin is supposed to be morally grey/secretive yet sympathetic and have a history of massive failure and lies a lot and his hosts are supposed to be similar

You know who has a failure complex? Who secretly lied his way into beacon but is sympathetic due to his own issues?

JAUNE ARC

Jaune has many deep set insecurities about his abilities and place in the world- he feels like an incompetent child masquerading as a superhero- he came to beacon to forge a path for himself- to discover his identity and overcome his flaws but-

he failed to save Pyrrha and Penny and Alyx- being forced to do a mercy kill on penny despite being a healer- he doesn't know what happened to Alyx exactly and the events surrounding what happened to her traumatized him, he failed as a leader- that man is a mess!

Also he's based off Joan of arc- hearing voices leading him to a grand destiny makes sense for him,

I like where the show took Jaune as a character especially with what we explored with him in the ever after- his overprotectiveness and need to be in control is interesting as fuck but this had so much potential!

Idk I think it would be a fun au

Imagine Jaune hearing Ozpin saying 'i know you cheated your way in' and Jaune just having to process that his old headmaster basically let him in despite knowing he would likely either fail out of get horribly injured but that he had faith in him and saw potential when even the people who loved him couldn't

or the funnier option of Ozpin learning that Jaune cheated his way into Beacon and him having to process that-

So is Blake related to Winter?:D

The P of team JNPR, you know what happened (or is happening) to them.

The first fight song of the series: Now I'm nothing but a liar and you're thrown into the fray (basically Summer's part)

Volume 2 final song: The moon will sadly watch the roses die

RWBY lastest episode, 10 years later:

I "love" the game of waiting we're playing

Ren and Emerald, kind of, have twin weapons, why is this never occurred to me before?!

[rwby-confess]

Confession 100!!!!!

Behold; I have returned, the queue will be running again, 2 posts per day (for now)

[st-whalefall]

I was just trying to check some background about Oscar and

In boots. God. Why is that so funny.

[threbe]

Oh look everyone new Ruby merch from 2020 don't know why it took them several years to release this but here it is but you know it's odd it feels like something's missing you know something really important or rather an important character that you know the story wouldn't be at where it is without this character cuz you know this character

An important character who's actually tied to the law of this show and the relics that the main heroes need to keep away from Salem a character that when it comes to the final volume we're really going to have to pay attention to because they're the only character that knows

where the final relic is and it doesn't matter if you love this character hate them see them as a plot device or is just neutral about this character or whatever you might view this character is there's still an important character more important than certain other characters I'm not going to name who they're not even shown on this poster here so it doesn't matter but this person should be on the poster and if you look closely

there's enough room for them

I'm going to see if I can do a editing ask him to it here but I don't know how good it'll look wish me luck everyone

Reasons Why Rosegarden is Canon: #015 - The Blush

He blushed when she touched his shoulder. She specifically said she was glad he was alright, no use of “we” whatsoever. The soft smile? The head tilt? THE BLUSH???

[sunnysunsins]

To all you Jaune stans right now going "omagad Oscar shouldn't exist, Jaune should've been the next oz"

Kindly go sit on a knife.

[fandom-wind]

I can't figure out why people ignore Emerald as part of Team JNR but accept Oscar. Or did I miss the moment when Ozpin's successor was initiated into the team?

Wine Hair Whitley makeover + doodle

[wishingeel]

First Ruby doodle to go with my first Oscar doodle! Same as last time: drew it on a notebook at work and colored it digitally. Original under the cut:

(I have no idea why my camera did that with the lighting.)
