Deaged Oz AU - The First Meeting

I was reminded that I'd never actually written this, so here it is. Better late than never, that pivotal scene where Oscar and Tip introduce themselves to the others.

Oscar looked rather intimidated, waiting in the room for Qrow's nieces and their friends to come together so he could meet them all. In contrast, Oz looked more or less unruffled, his small form steady, though his eyes seemed far away. Then again, these were his students, weren't they? In a great many ways he already knew them. Just, not as a ten year old. Oscar snickered slightly, amused at the sudden image that gave him. Though Oz had been teaching him for a month or so back on the farm, the thought of him in front of a class populated by these rather intimidating older teens was amusing to say the least. He knew, intellectually, that Oz had been an adult until pretty recently, but it was very hard to see his little brother as anything other than what he was now.

Oz tried to ignore the curious glances he was being give while they waited for Miss Rose to come downstairs and join the others. There was no way of knowing exactly how much Qrow had told them, though it was probable that he would need to explain at least a part of things in person. He was just glad that he'd already told Oscar as much as he could regarding matters. After all, it had never been his plan to involve these, his students. Not in this, not in this war. But then, if what Qrow had said was true and Leon really had betrayed them? They would have no choice but to trust that these children, his students, would be up to the task. He frowned internally, noticing that Miss Belladonna was missing. That might complicate things rather.

"So, who are you two, exactly? And how do you know Uncle Qrow?" Yang asked, sounding curious. Oz sighed at that, glancing over at the man in question briefly. Qrow just shrugged and saluted with his flask, so he wasn't likely to be of much help in the scenario.

"That would probably be best discussed with all parties present. I believe we're waiting on Miss Rose?" His voice was as steady as his form, Vale accent obvious. The others exchanged concerned glances, hands inching towards their weapons. After what had happened at Beacon, this random child coming looking for Ruby was not filling them with confidence. Qrow had bought them, but then Qrow's decision making seemed slightly suspect when he was drunk. Right now? He was smelling like a bar, but then again the kid had to be all of ten if that. It was unlikely he was any real threat. Oz blinked up at them, eyes wide, and they aborted the idea of attacking him. They were hunters after all, he was just a helpless child. They could take him pretty easily.

Presently, Miss Rose came downstairs, towelling off her hair and blinking at the new additions. Oscar stared at her, he'd never seen someone so pretty before!

"You... have silver eyes?" He breathed, unknowingly echoing Oz's own first thoughts on meeting Ruby. Oz blinked beside him, thrown by the similarity in the statement. Maybe the month they had spent together had rubbed off on the other boy? There was always the alternative to that, but he couldn't bring himself to think about it too deeply. If things had gone even slightly differently, would he have ended up as the voice in the back of his brother's head? It was a horrifying thought.

"Umm... who are you?" Ruby ventured, blinking at the two unknown boys that the others had let in. Uncle Qrow didn't seem worried to see them, so that probably meant that they weren't intruders? The smaller boy smiled, looking sad for a second. There was something about the smile that was familiar, but she was certain she'd never met the small, red headed boy in her life. She'd probably remember yet another redhead and, whoever he was, he was far too young for Beacon.

"I'm Oscar Pine." Oscar breathed, still lost in her eyes. Next to him Oz snickered slightly. After all the teasing Oscar had given him over Qrow, it rather looked like he might have some payback.

"I go by Tip Pine at present, though I do believe you all knew me by another name." Oz's voice was quiet, yet carried nonetheless. That had always been a useful trick to use when he needed attention and he certainly did right now. He twisted the head of the long stick he carried, releasing The Long Memory from its hiding place. All eyes were on the ancient weapon as he deployed it into cane form and looked around at them seriously.

"You last knew me as Professor Ozpin. Hello again, students." The silence that followed his declaration sounded rather shocked and it was plain by the looks on their faces that they hadn't been expecting him. He sighed slightly as he felt the first tremor in his hands. It had been nice while it lasted, at least?

"Told'ya he wasn't dead!" Qrow hollered from the couch he was slumped in, laughter in his tone. The glance he shot Oz was soft and loving, Yang paling slightly as she noticed it. Wait, did that mean that Uncle Qrow's mysterious partner had been Professor Ozpin? That was uncomfortable to think about even without the fact that he appeared to be a little kid at the moment. And how on Remnant had that happened, anyway?

"Umm, Professor? How are you a child?" Weiss sounded suspicious, her eyes on his hair. "...and why do you have red hair?"

Oz grinned at her. "Hair dye can be a wonderful thing, Miss Schnee. As for why I am a child, well what has Qrow told you so far regarding certain fairy tales and their basis in reality?"

"Well, we know about the maidens. And apparently the witch is real and called Salem? There's something in Mistral we need to find, though he refused to tell us exactly what. Where does you being... sorry, how old are you, anyway?"

"Physically I appear to be ten years of age. However, that is rather misleading. In most ways that count I am still your Headmaster, Miss Schnee. If Qrow has told you as much as he appears to have done then that makes things rather easier. The maidens do indeed exist, as does Salem. Unfortunately. She is a danger you must not underestimate! Too many people have done so and paid the price.” There was a deep pain in Oz’s voice, which itself served to underline the danger far better than mere words ever could. The children were used to him being untouchable, emotionless, but whatever he was right now none of the previous labels applied. There was a strange glint to his eyes that looked almost like tears and beside him the boy who’d called himself Oscar lay one hand on his shoulder comfortingly. Oz leaned into the touch without really realising he was doing it and Ruby and Blake exchanged rather alarmed looks. Nora started to coo, making Oz glare at her, but she was the only one. Having confirmation of what Qrow had told them was not a good sign but at least now they knew the monster they were facing? Or at least the overarching one? In some ways it was almost a comfort, having a single person they might one day be able to defeat.

“Professor? You still haven’t explained why you’re a child right now.” There was a note of something strange in Weiss’ voice though, a look in her eyes that she only really got when she’d worked out the answer to a riddle. Oz sighed.

“When Miss Fall attempted to kill me, things backfired rather. Instead of outright killing me, I woke up like this. I’ve been recovering over the last month since almost dying did not leave me in the best health.” There was a humorous note to his voice, though that made the declaration no less terrifying. Cinder had killed Pyrrha after all and they had all heard that Professor Ozpin was missing. Had that been meant to be his fate, too?

“What does that have to do with the maidens?” Yang broke in, sounding impatient. Oz grinned at her, too, tipping his head in her direction.

“Cinder Fall is the current Fall maiden, as appears to have been her design all along. As for why her powers backfired when used on me, it would appear to have something to do with the fact that I am the current incarnation of the wizard.”

“… of course you are.” Yang sounded fed up now, the warning Raven had given her still ringing in the back of her brain. But even if Professor Ozpin was somehow untrustworthy, what danger could a ten year old really pose? Especially one that had been limping as heavily as this one had been when he first entered the house? Ozpin was dangerous, sure… but at ten he was many things, none of them the least bit intimidating.

The mood seemed slightly more relaxed now and none of them seemed particularly interested in seeing him prove that he had magic. Did that mean…

“Qrow, did you turn into a bird in front of them?” Oz was curious, though the relief very much showed in his tone. If Qrow had done that then it certainly would make things easier. He just hoped the children wouldn’t ask to be turned into birds too.

“Well, yeah, Oz. The story’s kinda unbelievable without some form of proof.” Qrow smirked at him, taking another swig from his flask. Oz blinked at that and opened his mouth to ask something else but ended up yawning widely. He winced even as Nora started to coo again.

“You, Are. Adorable!” She squealed, Oz turning a tired glare on her once more. He doubted it would have that much affect though since even on the journey to Mistral several people had taken time out of their schedules to tell Oscar and he both just how cute they looked. Neither one of them had appreciated it, but it didn’t look like it would be stopping any time soon.

Qrow got up, noticing just how tired Oz appeared. “C’mon, you two. I think you need to be in bed, I’ll show you up to the spare room we set up for you. Might need to grab an extra bed for Pipsqueak, though." Oscar looked vaguely offended at the term for a second, though it raised an interesting point. Qrow seemed to like giving people nicknames, he wondered just what he would come up with for Oz? Speaking of… he really was going to have to get used to calling him Tip, wasn’t he? For his own safety, they all were.

Nora Perception Check

Team RNJR playing DND waiting for Qrow to wake up before Vol. 5 …

Jaune - "On the horizon of this forest path, you see a group of dark-cloaked figures slowly trudging towards you. What do you do?"

Ruby - "My half-orc barbarian braces her greathammer and- That's a one"

Jaune - "Critical fail. Ren, what do you do?"

Ren - "Well, I believe in anticipation, my rogue would try and hide behind a tree- ...Okay, I rolled a one"

Jaune - "That's another critical fail. Nora, what does your human bard do?"

Nora - "Active Perception Check"

Jaune - "...That's a natural 20"

Nora - "Let's fucking go" ( Starts playing a flute and singing)

I feel it in my fingers

I feel it in my toes

These muthafuckas mean to harm us

And they got to go

So come on, get 'em now!

You picked the wrong day to fuck around with my

Tight crew

There's no escaping it

I can perceive you

Here's what we're gonna do

Me and my boys gonna mess you up

Ruby - I rolled a one

Ren - I rolled a one

Nora - Fuck!

My boys are otherwise engaged

So I'm gonna bring it all myself

Nora - "Hey, I forgot, you're supposed to tell me what I see, right?"

Jaune - "Yes, thank you. Let's just slow it all down a bit. So, you notice that one of the hooded figures is a little shorter-"

Nora - "I cast Vicious Mockery, nat 20, let's go!!"

You're a short muthafucka

And nobody likes you

SHORT!

Everybody says "Look how fucking short that guy is"

And that stops you from forming meaningful relationships

When you were born, everybody thought that you were just a head

But then the doctor said

Nora - "Wait, this stupid muthafuckin' tiny short ass baby got a tiny little itty bitty body and I hate it"

Jaune - "Your attack lands and absolutely shatters the mind of the cloaked figure. Perception check, please"

Nora - "Nat 20, let's go!"

Jaune - "You perceive the figure was so short because it was a CHILD"

Nora - "It's always a kid..."

Jaune - "Specifically, the child you've been looking for for the last 15 days game time and 5 days of our actual lives"

Nora - "Okay, I'm sorry, I didn't know, I'll be better. His body's just lying there, right? ...Right?"

Jaune - "Yes...? Don't-"

Nora - Loot that body

Gotta loot that body now

Loot that body!

Gotta loot that muthafucka!

Play my flute when I loot that dead kid's body

Bitch!

"The writers aren't going to listen to their fans, because they can't even be bothered to listen to their own staff, because they "learned their lesson" to "listen to their gut" and "stick to their guns," and to ignore anybody who tries to educate their CisHet White Male selves on the matters of positive and accurate representation. Not just queer, but with everything. It happened with Jaune>Ruby, it happened with the White Fang, it happened with Emerald, it happened with Flynt Coal, it happened with Jaune>Ruby again, it happened with Yang, it happened with Cinder, it happened with Tyrian, it happened with Jaune>Ruby again, it happened with Pilot Boi, it happened with Ghira, it happened with Blake, it happened with Leo, it happened with Ilia, it happened with Sienna, it happened with Adam, it happened with Oz, it happened with Salem, it happened with Jaune>Ruby again, it happened with Terra Cotta, it happened with Ironwood, it happened with Marrow, it happened with Elm, it happened with Vine, it happened with Harriet, it happened with Clover, it happened with Qrow, it happened with Winter, it happened with Penny, it happened with Jaune>Ruby again - over and over and over and over and over, the fans have spent the past ten years explaining exactly how and why [X problem] was actually a real, tangible problem, with the writers either blatantly ignoring it, or hand-waving it away with vague and empty promises to "be better about it," only to pull the exact same shit all over again.

Ten years of hundredth chances, ten years of patient (or in some cases, not so patient, which is why we get villainized) adherence to the "Just Wait" rule, ten years of practically begging to see even tiny improvements only to be left hanging (or worse, to be directly baited as Eddy admitted happened with Fair Game, and then to be attacked directly by crwby itself and treated as if we were "just imagining things" and that we were "just horny salty fanboys" and that "it's not bait if we never intended to canonize the worm in the first place" and that it's our fault we were foolish enough to think Rooster Teeth would include queer rep and tentatively bit down on the hook) ten years of having it be PROVEN to us that the people who do most of the writing for RWBY write it specifically with a White Straight Male audience in mind, because at the time of RWBY's creation, data shows that Rooster Teeth's fanbase was 93% Male identified and 7% Female identified, and the separate demographic that was attracted solely to RWBY itself was just basically bonus income on top of that."

I saw this and I think it's a good showcase of an older RWBY critics. So let this be a lesson to the RWBY stans who not so coincidentally sound exactly the same.

For those who don't know what they're referring to, an old RWBY AMA on Reddit had this from Miles-

"-Boi howdy, did that take us by surprise. There's always a background character that gets super popular. Last season it was the Waitress. This season it was Pilot Boi and Cute Faunus Guard. Interesting story, we originally had a line for the Pilot that subtly told the audience he had a boyfriend back in Atlas (this was done in our attempt to get better about having more LGBTQ+ representation). However, when scripts went out to the team, a number of crew members were concerned that our first homosexual character with a line of dialogue addressing his sexuality was going to die in the very next episode and was "also kind of a selfish jerk". Soooo, we scrapped the line. Next thing we know, he's the most popular character of the volume and we're kicking ourselves for not sticking to our guns."

And the whole spiel is about how they wanted to keep Pilot as LGBT due to his popularity even though he's bAd rEP. Except that what makes bad representation (being stereotypical, being one dimensional ect.) makes a bad character IN GENERAL. It's why bad writers, no matter their subgroup, can't write good representation- You have to be a good writer. And given that Pilot Guy was so prevelant in Volume 5, he clearly resonated with/entertained so many people. So making him LGBT would have made a fan favorite LGBT, making it far more likely he'd be accepted. That's what happened with Illa. It's what happened with May.

But then, they don't care about the writing. Read it again- they care that the people don't have the right fucking genitals or melatonin content. Or rather, they don't get what they want EXACTLY when they want it. So they lash out like selfish children, crying about how thy don't get their cookie until after dinner. Except they DID get their cookie and they're being a greedy shithead.

Example? OP's own fucking examples.

Jaune>Ruby? Only happened in Volume 1...in the most shallow way possible (given that Ruby herself was a big part of JAUNE'S OWN ARC). Volume 2 gave her the involvement with the actual plot as well as her moment with Penny, Volume 3 gave her Penny's death, Pyrrha's death and being the driving force behind THE REST OF THE SHOW and Jaune got...a half baked arc that was made about Ruby in the only Volume where it got more than a episode (Volume 4).

The White Fang? Basically just "FUCK YOU FOR NO SUPPORING MY POLITICS!" With said politics being "Let me be as racist as a person from the 1920's.'

Emerald? Basically 'HOW DARE YOU MAKE A VILLAIN DARK SKINNED?!' while ignoring that she was a better person than her white cohorts (Roman, Mercury, Cinder).

Flynt Coal? Calling racism over a name (because 'black black')...while ignoring the German 'White White' girl.

Yang? That they skipped over her character arc...then gave her the lion's share of Volume 5 which they ignored because Jaune got mad at the woman who murdered his best friend for nothing was right there.

Cinder? Talking about her being a bland villain...which got shot and killed in Volumes 7 and 8.

Tyrian? Something something 'psychopath is offensive to people with mental disorders'. Completely ignoring LEGITIMATE PSYCHOPATHS..

Pilot Boy? See above.

Ghira? Something about him not being allowed to be seen as competent. ... Even though they accept Sienna being competent despite doing ACTIVE harm because Blake said so...in the same monologue saying Ghira was just as effective and more stable, just slower.

Blake? Her acting 'like a bitch' in Volume 4 despite the very clear reason of 'I just went through tramuatic events and am going through an arc.'

Leo? That having a Fanaus headmaster be a villain was racist. Even though he was still better than every other villain not named 'Emerald' present. He even got a shot in against Raven.

Illa? Psycho Lesbian...right in front of Adam 'Wannabe Racial Supremacist' Taurus. Also got redeemed and everyone went mysteriously quiet, almost like no one wanted to own up to their bullshit.

Sienna? See the WF section and add in racism accusations because Indonesians can't handle a fictional character dying apparently.

Adam? See WF section AGAIN.

Ozpin? Calling out the CRWBY for having the leader of the good guys preaching trust keeping VERY IMPORTANT secrets because 'uwu sad backstory'...after spending three years calling him the true secret bad guy.

Salem? Something about her not being a good villain because generic, cookie cutter complaints that really mean 'You will never appease us, slave.'

Terra Arc-Cotta? 'Racism' 'Why?' 'Fuck you!!!'

Ironwood? Some bullshit excuse about prosthetics that fails when you look at everyone with prosthetics which is just a cover for 'Gimmie my husbando or else.'

Elm, Harriet, Vine, Marrow? See above because no one talks about them outside of being an extension of James.

Clover and Qrow? 'We decided they were gay which not even half of the LGBT fanbase saw so you did a bad.'

20 swings, all misses.

This is not some grand outlier either. I have seen HUNDREDS, if not a THOUSAND criticisms. I have seen about a couple dozen stragglers and a half dozen consistent producers of good criticism...of which only THREE (Faboover, that Whitely Blog and Dual) are still around.

It's all just entitlement. 'You dared to ascertain your ownership over something you made so now I will bully you into compliance.'

As OP would say, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Tens of thousands of chances on hitting a fucking t-ball. They always miss, split their head open on the bat and then try suing for damages after proclaiming themselves so much better than the coach.

Fair Game is a perfect example. Nothing was explictly romantic...or even implictedly. It was just some guys bonding. I have seen actual ship baiting (Amorshipping from Pokemon) and Fair Game does not fit. People picked up on some flirty animation that the WRITERS didn't intend for, used a character for their purpose and people shat themselves. Blaming them for YOUR immaturity is fucking disgusting.

But hey, this is how the crowd has ALWAYS worked. Don't give them what they want immediately? 'Kill yourself, Monty hates you.' Give them a background couple? 'Give us a major character, kill yourself.' Give them a tragic villain with a defined personality? 'Psycho Lesbian, kill yourself.' Give them a couple with a child? 'Doesn't count, kill yourself.'

Time after time after time after time after time- They demand shit by using their DEAD FRIEND as a soapbox and bludgeon and then move the goalposts so they can threaten and attack them.

We know this for a fact- the Camp Camp blog incident provided the psychos.

Oh did you think I forgot? Silly little fragile hypocrite- I will never forget.

You fucks are some of the most psychotic pieces of shit I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. I also remember how the very SECOND you got push back, that you had to eat your own shit for once, you cried foul.

No matter what you fucks try, I will not forget. And you will NEVER escape your bullshit.

You don't deserve to be listen to. You deserve every little bit of pettiness and disdain...times a hundred.

P.S. They do mention the Glassdoor incident...for half a paragraph.

"ACTUAL LIVING PEOPLE got hurt? Eh...BU WHAT ABOUT MY EGO?!"

[pilot-boi]

So what are folks at beacon thinking of Jaune and his tiny charge? I wager Oz is amused to a degree, but what’s everyone else thinking of this armored nervous wreck with a tiny pine tree?

Oz is certainly amused, and he lets it slide once he gets reports from Qrow that bandits likely hired by Salem have been capturing or killing kids around Oscar’s age. So he pieces together why she REALLY targeted Oscar, even if he doesn’t tell Jaune or the boy

Glynda is exhausted and annoyed almost constantly, but mostly just because Oscar follows Jaune everywhere. Oscar is a little angel in class and helps Jaune take notes and stay focused, but the other students keep staring at him and don’t pay attention as much

Oobleck has met the Arcs before and knows about their whole deal, so as soon as he meets them he spends about a whole half hours excitedly rambling about everything he knows about Arc Law and culture. He only stops when Jaune starts to have a panic attack at the unwanted attention, and then he apologizes profusely

Port has heard of Din’s branch of the creed and keeps trying to get Jaune to show them all some moves. Jaune, predictably, does not

Heya!

So I was curious if you could write something about Jaune getting turned into a femboy sissy, being bullied by Ironwood or Cardin, or maybe Qrow even!

I would just like to see the blonde boy get turned into a male breeding toy, having his cock locked away, and being treated like nothing

Jaune is such a good girl for her Daddy.

She loves being Cardin’s pathetic sissy slut, nothing but a bottom bitch for him to pound and drop a load into.

Her tiny worthless clit is locked up in a pretty pink and tiny chastity cage as she takes hormones and continues her best to be a good girl for Cardin.

He’s the true man, with a massive bitch breaker she is so addicted to.

(vibrates while looking at Raven=Girl Who Fell Through World and Qrow= Boy Who Fell From The Sky theory) PLEASE ELABORATE????

okay but fair warning, this is a brainworm from 4am from some months ago so whether it makes sense or not is secondary to me having fun lol

basically, my line of thinking went like this; these two stories have similar names (just from different perspectives) -> there's a story about 'hidden remnant' too, is that about remnant or another world that's like remnant but different (two world / two perspectives?) -> raven and qrow have magic and the girl fell to a magical place so maybe they're from that magical place (where shapeshifting is everyday occurrence) and fell to remnant?

we don't know anything about the boy who fell from the sky besides... well, that it's a story with that name, but the girl who fell through the world kinda gives me raven vibes (ran away from the consequences of a choice, 'she brushed off her bumps and bruises for nothing hurt more than the loneliness in her chest', etc.) if you're also randomly(?) falling through the world, it helps having a semblance that makes a whole in time and space.

i've also speculated / theorized that yang inherited shapeshifting from raven and that she would learn how to do so in wonderland, so if there's a magical world where that is completely natural, what better place to learn it? (and maybe meet some extended family she didn't know even existed) (which, if raven portaling wonderland gang out does come up, could also lead to the twins returning home and feeling sad because "she wasn't the same girl anymore") (like imagine they had a good home in a magical world and through some shenanigans they ended up in a completely different world raised by bandits? sucks in the perfect branwen way)

it's also toying with an idea that the twins have in some way lost memories, because it uh. keeps coming up. kinda.

one of qrow's allusions is the scarecrow, who 'lacks a brain'; with these wizard of oz allusions, instead of these characters always having what they believe they lack, they lose what they had (usually when salem happens); lionheart was brave until he wasn't, ironwood had a heart until he threw it away. soooo.. 'lacking a brain' could be played as losing memories.

raven and qrow also allude to huginn and muninn, translated from old norse to thought and memory/mind, so there's another nod towards memories.

higanbana (name of the town raven and qrow met in) is a flower with many meanings behind it, one of them being lost memory.

finally, because i leave no stone unturned when it comes to crack theories, in V5 raven literally says "either i'm losing my memory or you've all lost your spines." and you know, she kind of, not completely but just tiny bit, lost her spine, so who's to say she didn't lose her memories at some point, too? checkmate.

all-in-all this is just a very long way of answering a question "if raven and qrow weren't originally from remnant, why wouldn't they remember?" with "they lost their memories. next."

(tbh this whole 'lost memories' business could be its completely own theory. i just tacked it here because i could)

"okay but how come they have both magic and semblances then?" idk, i don't fill plotholes, i make them.

but also the idea of yang aka goldilocks finding herself in a different world and reaching a house in the woods with a family living there only to find out later that they're kinda related, actually, tickles me.

And Now For Something Different - Itty Bitty Ozzy AU

Is this written for @maskyartist? Maybe. Now you have a whole AU dedicated to you, albeit perhaps not a highly comfortable one.

Heed the tags before reading this, guys. It's DARK.

Ozpin let out a hiss of pain as one of Salem's clawed fingers raked a line of fire across his ribs, but it didn't matter, truly, what she was going to do to him. No matter what, she couldn't be allowed to get her hands on any of the other relics, nor could he tell her how to use the one she had gotten her hands on. His clothes hung in bloody rags from a frame far slimmer now than it had been before she'd captured him all those months ago, but he hadn't given her what she wanted. As she snarled at him again, he just smiled gently at her. He suspected that he was probably out of time. Ah well, it had been a good life, this one. He'd rather miss it when it was gone.

"Well, my dearest Ozma... you've been a very naughty boy, haven't you? You can't even tell me what I want to know, it's been months, I thought we had something special." Ozpin swallowed at that, though the cloying almost cooing tones filled him with an odd sort of dread. She hadn't quite managed that before, but now... what was she planning, exactly?

"Naughty boys need to be humbled, you know... and perhaps you can still be useful to me in other ways. We'll have to see, but for now? Good night little Ozma." She brushed fingers across his clammy forehead and he felt the world dropping away, even as he struggled to understand. Little? This body was far from that...

When he awoke again, it was far slower than he had become used to. He felt oddly warm and comfortable and he couldn't hear or smell the usual things he'd have found in the tiny cell Salem had shoved him into. He didn't feel cramped, so much as well... bound together? He tested his limbs, but whatever it was was bound far too tightly to escape. It felt strangely like cloth, but... why would she have wrapped him in some sort of cloth? She'd seemed so happy as his clothing fell apart. It had been well made, once, but even the best materials couldn't really stand up to several months of torture.

The ceiling seemed so far away, though. He squirmed again, but it was hopeless. What was the point of this, anyway? He already knew he was relatively helpless here, after all. At least Qrow still had Long Memory, he hated to think what might have happened had the ancient weapon been in Salem's hands, now.

There was a noise as someone entered, but by the glimpse of green hair... [toobigtoobig] it was probably Miss Sustrai. She seemed oddly reluctant to come any closer, just seeming to watch him as he did her, in a strange sort of stalemate. He opened his mouth to ask her something and flinched as his voice came out far higher in pitch than it ever should have been. 'Miss Sustrai? What... happened...' He tailed off looking suddenly horrified, as the fact that everything seemed much to large combined with the wrappings and what he dearly hoped was a temporary voice all came together to paint a very dark picture indeed.

But, if Salem had, well, done that, then why? There was always some sort of purpose to her actions, but beyond perhaps a final form of embarrassment, he couldn't really think of a reason here. As an infant, if that was truly what she'd done to him, he would have little dignity and less control, yes, but where he had been before had not precisely been dignified, either. What was her end goal?

His question seemed to have snapped the bubble keeping Emerald in place and he quickly felt himself lifted into a set of trembling arms.

"I'm sorry, Professor." Was all she said, as she turned and carried him from the room, out into Salem's presence once more.

A low effort shit post about Adam Taurus by me enjoy:

Adam walks into a room.

There! Right There!

Look at that tan, that tinted skin

Look at the killer shape he's in

Look at that slightly stubly chin

Oh Please he's gay, totally gay

I'm not about to celebrate

Every trait could indicate the totally straight expotriate.

This guy's not gay, I say not gay

(All)

That is the elephant in the room

Well, is it relevant to assume

that a man who wears perfume

is automatically matically fay?

(Ren)

But look at his coiffed and crispy locks

(Illia)

Look at his silk translucent socks

(Cardin)

There's the eternal paradox

Look what we're seeing

(Illia)

What are we seeing?

(Cardin)

Is he gay?

(Illia)

Of course he's gay

(Cardin)

Or Atlesian?(Adam is canonical born and raised in the Kindom of Atlas)

(All)

ohhhhhh

Gay or Atlesian?

It's hard to guarantee

Is he gay or Atlesian?

(Jaune)

Well, hey don't look at me

(Coco)

You see they bring their boys up different

in those charming foreign ports

They play peculiar sports

(All)

In shiny shirts and tiny shorts

Gay or foreign fella?

The answer could take weeks

They will say things like "ciao bella"

while they kiss you on both cheeks

(Glynda)

Oh please

(All)

Gay or Atlesian?

So many shades of gray

(Jaune)

Depending on the time of day

In Mentle go either way

(All)

Is he gay or Atlesian?

or-

(Winter)

There! Right There!

Look at that condescending smirk

Seen it on every guy at work

That is a metro-hetro jerk

That guy's not gay, I say no way

(All)

That is the elephant in the room

Well is it relevant to presume

that a hottie in that costume

(Glynda)

Is automatically, radically

(Ironwood)

Ironically, cronically

(Coco)

Scurtinly, curtainly

(Jaune)

Genetically, netically

(All)

Gay!

Officially Gay!

Officially Gay, Gay, Gay, Gay!

Dammit

Gay or Atlesian?

(Cardin)

So stylish and relaxed

(All)

Is he gay or Atlesian?

(Cardin)

I think his chest is waxed

(Coco)

But they bring their boys up different there

It's culturally diverse

It's not a fashion curse

(All)

If he wears a kilt or bears a purse

Gay or just exotic?

I still can't crack the code

(Qrow)

Yet his accent is hypnotic

but his shoes are pointy toed

(All)

Huh

Gay or Atlesian?

So many shades of gray

(Weiss)

But if he turns out straight

I'm free at 8 on saturday

(All)

Is he gay or Atlesian?

Gay or Atlesian?

Gay or Atle-

(Clover)

Wait a minute!

Give me a chance to crack this guy

I have an idea I'd like to try

(Cardin)

The floor is yours

(Clover)

So Mr. Taurus...

This alleged affair with Ms. Belladona

has been going on for...?

(Adam)

2 years

(Clover)

And your first name again is...?

(Adam)

Adam

(Clover)

And your boyfriend's name is...?

(Adam)

Banesaw

I'm sorry! I misunderstand

You say boyfriend

I thought you say best friend

Banesaw is my best friend

(Banesaw)

You bastard!

You lying bastard!

That's it

I no cover for you, no more!

Peoples

I have a big announcement

This man is gay and Atlesian!

And neither is disgrace

you've got to stop your being

a completely closet case

No matter what he say

I sware he never ever ever swing the other way

You are so gay

You big parfait!

You flaming boy in cabaret

(Adam)

I'm straight!

(Banesaw)

You were not yesterday

So if I may, I'm proud to say

He's gay!

(All)

And Atlassian!

(Banesaw)

He's gay!

(All)

And Atlassian!

(Banesaw)

whispers do magpie

@littleblackqrow

A grade a little shit, with his parents wrapped around his tiny adorable fingers, who's also very much a Daddy's boy for both his Dad and Papa?

Magpie Branwen.

Magpie is generally a well adjusted kid, if not a little shit that knows how to push to get what he wants. Arthur and Qrow made sure to raise him to be happy, healthy, but question authority and be sure of himself and his opinions. He's a smart kid, and a smart ass. But he's nice, and protective of his friends and loved ones.

He takes after Qrow in appearance. And is lanky and tall. He's curious and fun loving, as much as he is a brat at times. They raised him in Patch, on an acreage not far from Tai's home. So he hand plenty of place to explore and grow. He loves animals, having grown up with a yard cat, a big dog, and a pond in his back yard.

Being the son of a pretty famous Huntsman, and cousin to strong and capable huntresses Magpie is a well trained fighter. He focuses on speed and agility in fighting, and is not above taking cheap shots when they are presented. His primary weapon is sword that is a rifle. He's a good marksman, learning that from Arthur. He also carries a butterfly knife, incase he gets disarmed of his main weapon.

Magpie's semblance is Movement Mimcry. He can copy movements he sees and fold them into his fighting style. It can make him a tricky opponent to fight, was well as help him learn new techniques. He cannot keep movements indefinitely, without practicing them himself, but it can aid him in understanding new fighting movements.

Rwby Catchup V8E4 (last one for the day probably)

Back into the prison. Qrow’s going full batman-level brooding. (but then, if I had a cursed soul i would too) Looks like they might be setting both Harriet and Wolfboy (do i know his name? I feel i probably should by now) up for “benevolent treason”. I hope so, they are the least boring members of the Ops. Chasescene, Grapplinghook the leg of the monster that has previously shown the ability to liquidise its own body at will. it definitly wont just shapeshift its leg out of constriction. High Fives! And Jaune instantly regrets it Aura is strangely inconsistent isnt it? There are episodes where Jaune, noted haver of an alledgedly above-average amount goes down in 1 hit, and then theres this scene where Ren leaves no surface un-facesmashed without ever feeling anything. Shield-enade turns into a ramp. (thats cool, did i mention how i like the creativity in their kits yet? I think i spend too much time criticising the often terribly flawed story but its moments like these that remind me why i stick around) And we lost Oscar. I thought Weiss had manners, but seeing as her first instinct on greeting her brother is to point a deadly weapon at his neck i seem to be mistaken. Maybe your brother would like you more if you didnt do that. I think that might’ve genuinely been Whitleys way of asking “how can I help”, and if it is that way. Man is Weiss being a bitch here telling him to “go to his room”. Like you do not live here and havent for years and his life is falling apart around the boy. JYR are stuck in the tundra without phones. (which brings me on a tangent, are their phones connected to the local Transit Tower in atlas? the one controlled by Ironwood? This seems like a gross oversight of our Dear Dictator.) Oh are they trying to play Ren’s single-minded obsession at the cost of politeness as an Ironwood Parrallel? not really working for me but i can respect the attempt. Ren is right that they werent ready, but then no one is ready for the apocalypse. and also Is Ren still on this “blind faith in authorities” thing? I thought we got over that with Ozpin, i get that you acknowledge that Team Goodguy doesnt know what its doing but newsflash No one in this universe has ever known what they were doing, Even the gods were only fucking around to see what they would find out with their MagiScienceproject.  Oscar wakes up, ozpin assures him everything will be fine. (the most recent in his ever-going string of increasingly unbelievable deceptions.) Salem used Torturebeam its visually stunning, but not verry effective. Cinder stepping closer and closer to her eventual betrayal, “without you I am nothing”. Now that is the second time we have heard her say that. Probably implies she may be about to get an actual backstory. If only the show had planted these seeds earlier i might even be bothered to care. Cinder doenst think Salem knows Team Goodguy is going to go after the satelite. Cinder is an idiot. Salem has admitted that the entire atlas arc is about setting the stage for her final act. Salem probably wants the satelite up in space because it leads to Operation 100 kuroyuri’s at once as established in V7E2. Neo is going to exit the story for a bit and emerald is taking the stage again instead.  “yeah ruby” followed by a tiny moment of jaune looking around, not confused but as if he’s putting dots together. This is the scene where the “years waiting for this” start.

Deaged Oz AU - Atlas Hospital Scene Part III

Oz swam back to consciousness slowly, still lying in the comfortable bed he had been in when what he was certain had to have been a dream happened. The room still smelled like all hospitals, but his fingers were clutched around the hilt of his cane, which he knew he hadn't had when he arrived here. Did that mean this was real, then? That they forgave him? Surely not... he'd lied to them. Lied to himself, tried to make the best of an impossible situation and an impossible war. Salem could not be beaten. She could not be defeated, the others hadn't signed up for this. They were just going to get themselves killed. 'Neither did you' a small voice seemed to echo in his head, but he shook it. He was what he needed to be, it was his fault after all. Everything was, hadn't those in the Vale told him that enough times?

How much of what he remembered had been a dream and how much of it reality? Surely he could not truly be the kidnapped Schnee child? They would have found out by now, right? Someone, somewhere, would have checked? The thought of being related to Jaques Schnee in any way, shape or form was deeply disquieting to him. He wasn't used to hating anyone but Salem, but that man certainly made it to the same exclusive little list.

There was a sound as several people filed in. Oscar, James... Winter, Weiss. Qrow! Qrow was here. He'd actually come back, he didn't hate him. He wasn't sure what he would have done if Qrow hated him, ran away again, perhaps? Not that that had worked last time, but there were more places to get lost in Atlas, it would be far easier to hide. He swallowed, bracing himself to be yelled at.

"Oh, Oz..." Qrow sounded sad, noticing how tense he'd become. "You're safe, I promise, okay?"

"Qrow? I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry."

"Yeah, pocket sized, so am I. Never should have reacted like that, but the circumstances... it won't happen again. I've said that already, but I'm not sure how much of that you remember. They had you on a lot of the good stuff and I know how much that messes you up."

Oz's head did feel far clearer as he turned to gaze at the others. James and Winter seemed to be staring at each other as though having a silent conversation. James sighed, seeming to have lost the argument.

"We need to talk. Whether you should be or not, your body is currently that of an eleven year old boy and as such you are highly vulnerable."

Oz opened his mouth, about to protest, but James just raised an eyebrow at him.

"None of us want Jaques Schnee to find out that you used to be Winter Schnee, since his marriage to your sister would technically mean that you would fall under his control. None of us are going to allow that. Therefore, you have something of a choice."

"A... choice?" Oz really didn't like the sound of this.

"As to guardian. Myself, or Winter. She has the added benefit of a blood relationship but I could probably protect you better. I assume you don't particularly wish to be seperated from Oscar? He claims you as a brother, after all."

"I don't need a guardian, James. I'm not actually a child."

"Yes, Oz. You are. More, you are incredibly vulnerable at the moment. If Salem or one of her people find out about you, as an unaccompanied eleven year old you would make a prime target. You have, after all, been kidnapped before."

There was a flash of hurt in Oz's eyes and James looked like he regretted the phrasing of his words, but he kept on anyway, voice stern. "I will also be taking temporary custody of Oscar. He has no real Huntsman training and you are far too young to be expected to have any real proficency."

Oz blushed at that, glaring up at James. Winter interrupted.

"It's not that you're not fully capable, uncle. But whether you like it or not, you are currently a child. While you are here, it would be far better for all involved were you to have at least nominal protection."

"Think of it this way. While you are under my care, so is Oscar. Wouldn't you prefer to have him protected?"

"You're starting to sound like you wouldn't protect the pipsqueak if it wasn't for Oz, Jimmy." Qrow's voice carried a warning. "That's not a good look."

"Of course I'd protect Oscar. But like it or not, he's far less important in all this than Ozpin is."

"Oscar. Matters." Oz bit out, his glare icy now.

James sighed. "I never stated that he didn't. I'm not actually that good at this, Oz. I have never been in this situation before. Can you at least agree that keeping you out of Jaques Schnee's hands is by far the best option here?"

"I think if I was forced to be in close contact with him, something regrettable might happen. Probably to him. Okay. What exactly do we need to do? And have you asked Oscar's aunt, yet? She is his guardian, after all."

"Both of ours, technically." Oscar sounded amused. "Or did you forget that... Tip?"

Oz winced. "My question stands."

"Yes, I talked to her. She agrees that you two need the extra protection while you're here. Besides, I have access to a great deal of training scenarios both of you could use. We might even be able to source a better weapon for young Oscar."

Oscar's eyes lit up and Oz sighed. He was likely going to regret this, wasn't he?

Qrow looked briefly regretful. "Sorry I didn't volunteer, pocket sized, but..."

"But it would be highly inappropriate, considering certain other considerations. It is fine, Qrow. That you're here is enough."

Winter stared at the two of them, a look of mild horror on her face as the Lien finally dropped. Weiss looked like she really needed some form of brain bleach at the imagery, though thankfully it seemed to entirely go over Oscar's head.

James filled out the paperwork then and there. He was the temporary guardian of Oscar and Tip Pine less than five minutes later.

Although part of James, too, worried that he may end up regretting this...

Been making a TOH x RWBY au and accidentally made it Frosen steel 😭😭 they are inevitable.

Anyways-

It's under the cut!!

Enter Ruby Rose. Typical kid with anxiety back in school. Totally not half witch, with a witchy dad and a witchy half-sister, nope. Totally normal. (Lies)

Summer rose (who is alive) is pretty busy with her new job, bit she can't leave poor, 14 year old Ruby alone all the time in the house.

So what does she do? Why, send her off to a magical world with her dad and her sister for the summer, or course!

Yang and Ruby get along so well it's scary. Tai and Qrow now have two monsters on their home.

"wdym you don't have summer break here? That's tragic. Can I go to witchy school too?"

So she does

At first, Ozpin was a little hesitant to let in a half witch bc of the bullying she might endure. But Tai proposed that it was only for a few months, and Ruby would leave anyway

He agrees. "Don't get in trouble" he says

She gets in trouble

Oh no. She befriends Blake, who wanted to "get even" with this white haired girl for being so mean to her . This white haired girl who turns out to be Weiss Schnee herself.

Blake and Ruby are friends but only bc Blake owes her one but y'know what she's nice Blake thinks,,, a little sister, mayhaps. A little sister indeed when she sees her older sister, "hoo boy is it hot in here or is it you- wait no. Keep it together, Blake"

Weiss does not like Ruby at all "what are you doing here, hybrid? Shouldn't you be on you stupid human School? Or are you not allowed there too?"

Ruby: "Oh god you're scary, pls don't 🙏 we can be friends :D??? Oh she left..."

Weiss, in her head: "who the fuck is god?"

Ruby runs along the woods and encounters a beast, a BEAST! WONDERFUL! SHE CAN SHOW OFF HOW WELL SHE CAN FIGHt and she doesn't have magic. Oh well. It's been a good few days. Oh, someone saved her

"hey, are you okay?" The stranger with the sweetest voice asks. She even has this pretty white cape and gold belt and- oh it's an emperor's coven guard. One who apparently, must be from the higher-ups, considering the gold mask.

"fine. I'm fine" Ruby looks away bc ohhhhhh she has such a pretty voice gay panic gay panic g-

"you must be the half witch, no? I've heard so much about you." "Good things, I hope?" "..." "...good things, right?..."

After that incident, she now has a mysterious guard friend.

Weiss still dislikes her, a lot. And it doesn't help that her sister and Blake are too busy flirting with each other. One faithful day, she catches resident bully; Cardin Winchester, talking to Weiss. It doesn't sound good at all, they sound aggressive. It's an argument. Ruby couldn't hear much, but Weiss seemed intimidated when Cardin stepped closer, a spell circle ready. Oh, that wasn't gonna fly.

"Hey, leave her alone" says local half witch who hasn't mastered what little magic she has. Cardin laughs bc c'mon she's so short and tiny what can she do

Oh she took karate classes

Oh woe is Ruby who got sent to detention

(she met team jnpr there!)

Weiss is waiting for her outside the school. "Are you crazy, hybrid? You could've gotten expelled!" "Well, you could've gotten hurt!" "I can defend myself, thank you very much. I'm stronger than you! I have magic!"

Ruby looks down "right..." Weiss grabs her wrist and inspects it. "He grabbed your hand very hard, does it hurt? Why would you even do that? You think you're some strong hero? You could've gotten killed!"

Ruby looks up at her, fascinated. "Oh... Uhm, sorry." She pulls away and runs back home.

Slams door open "YANG I HAVE A CRUSHES WHAT DO"

"A WHAT"

Ruby explains like "So this one girl the other day was soooo nice to me and saved me and she has such a pretty voice and today I got sent to detention for protecting Weiss and after that she was worried I'd get hurt and she held my hand and she was checking if I had bruises and she tucked her pretty white hair behind her ear and-" "YOU GOT WHAT"

Ruby has been meeting up with her new guard friend. She's never seen her face :/. When Ruby asks about it, she goes "Just promise me you won't tell anyone, okay?" And Ruby lifts up the mask and stares at the green eyes of a cute redhead with a pretty smile.

RUBY FALLS OVER GOOD B Y E

"My name is Penny. You don't have to call me "miss guard" anymore 😅 it feels... Weird"

"okay pretty- I MEAN PENNY"

"also? Thanks for saving my girlfriend back there. She's said some good things about you today."

"your what"

Ruby goes back home, dejected. "YAAANNGGHHH THEY'RE DATING EACH OTHER! I AM LITERALLY THE EPITOME OF GRIEF AND LONELINESS! IMAGINE! YOU HAVING A CRUSH ON TWO PEOPLE! THEN THEY'RE DATING!"

"ask both of them out"

"huh"

"Ruby it's 2021. Polyamory exists."

"huh you have a point. Maybe... Maybe..."

RWBY vol8 review: Ep 8

Qrow is five minutes after waking up and remembering a new episode is today. Slipped my mine but anyways....

I was wondering how they would get out. It was only a matter of time before something blew up I guess. For a moment I think this Raven appearing afterwards and just freaking out in bird form but nah it’s Qrow. I guess this was a safer option? Honestly don’t know. I hope Robyn is okay and honestly....being crushed to death is a terrifying way to go and I’d feel a tiny bit bad for Jacques if that’s what killed him.

You know what’s crazy? I’ve always been of Whitley and thought people were harsh on him for almost no reason at all, and I was happy Weiss and him had a nice moment together. But I’d be lying if I said I thought he’d contribute this much! I was happy he called Klein. Now this boy is coming up with ideas to save people in Mantle. Whitley gets a gold star today because at least Mantle’s people has a shred of making out of this.

I really like this scene. Partly because they never have meaningful conversations. The other part is that it’s genuinely sweet and at least one person is checking on Ruby emotionally this volume. All ladybug fans can have this nice little moment of Blake telling Ruby how she’s amazing and inspiring.

And then immediately panic. This episode likes hard cuts away to something and then we get back to see the heroes getting worked. I get he’s a strong boy but shouldn’t this team be fully rested? Ruby got batted around and dropped. The Hound has made chew toys of two people now.

Okay..... I wanna preference this with I love cheesy stuff. I’m a kingdom hearts fan, the power of friendship and love is a thing I’m fluent in. But when I tell you I was scared when I thought this show resolved Penny being corrupted with that power, I was scared. Not only because that’s a little insane when a villain’s entire thing is hacking, but because to me at least, this scene felt a little too in people’s face. Paralleling what Nora is feeling to what’s happening with Penny in this current situation is a bit....I guess forced? They’re two completely different problems! I kinda wish Penny looked at Nora crazily after hearing “it’s just a piece of you.” Yeah, an actual piece of her Nora. Not her personality lol!

It’s funny because of course that didn’t work, but I was still surprised because I genuinely thought RT was just about to make that work. Like.....that was all so cheesy, and for what? Maybe Penny thinks about it later and tries to fight it again or something. Such a weird scene.

Well, theories died and were confirmed today. I always mixed on hybrid grimm. Though I do say they’ve done the on thing I really wanted with it which is make them look monstrous instead of of like Salem. Also I am curious if Ruby’s silver eyes did a generally weak blast, or it wasn’t as effective because the grimm is part human? Hopefully it’s the second option and I also hope Ruby finds herself having even more trouble with her eyes when more show up because she knows people are in them. Silver eyes are cool but they need a debuff somehow.

[secret-engima]

Anything going on with Noctscar? Like, what happens when/if Noctscar goes to meet Qrow? And the rest of the group?

I am working on Noctscar! In fits and starts ^^;.

OKAY BUT OSCAR MEETING QROW WILL BE FUNNY and I am happy to talk about that.

-The funniest part of this is by far going to be Aunt Parsine, because she comes along on this quest, and as soon as she hears via Oscar that Ozpin’s contact is most likely in a BAR she is 1. unimpressed to the extreme and 2. absolutely NOT going to let her tiny nephew wander into multiple bars looking for One Scuffy Bird Man in Particular. He’s underage and those places are filled with fishy people. No, not even if she’s right there with him. Oscar is staying outside.

-So it’s actually PARSINE scoping out the bars while Oscar and a bemused Ozpin stand outside the door peering inside to watch as she stalks in, looks around for Scruffy Bird Man, then stalks out again while people discreetly cringe from her Murder Vibes.

-Eventually, late in the evening, they find the correct bar, one with only one man in it, and Oscar peeks through the door and says that “yep, that’s him” and Parsine firmly tells him to wait there before prowling inside.

-Qrow didn’t have too many expectations for his day, unbalanced as he was from the strange conversation with Leo, but he was 100% NOT prepared to hear, “Qrow Branwen?” in clipped, almost Glynda worthy tones.

-He turns around warily and inspects this well-built woman wearing practical (but not Huntsman) gear and gloves and an annoyed expression on her face. Little red flags go up in his mind because oh no what has his Semblance decided to drag him into now, he sits up, “Who’s asking?”

-The woman inspects him visually, visibly unimpressed, glances to the side as if in thought, then huffs through her nose and crosses her arms, “I am supposed to inform you,” she almost growls, “that ‘I would like my cane back’.”

-Qrow falls out of his chair in shock. He’s just- his mind is spinning, is blown. He scrambles to his feet, instinctively holding out the cane even as he wheezes, “Oz?” Because this is a WOMAN and Oz was- you know- NOT THAT and at no point did Ozpin indicate that any of his incarnations could be FEMALE (they can’t, but you can understand why Qrow is now panicking over a misunderstanding).

-The woman takes the cane handle and inspects it thoughtfully, “Well,” she mutters, “there really is a cane. And here I thought it was just a very unusual code phrase.” Qrow is still flailing, so Parsine turns on her mom voice as she makes for the door, “Don’t just stand there and gape, we have work to do.”

-“Oz you didn’t tell me you could-!”

-Parsine holds the door for the sputtering Bird Man as she responds, “Oh, I’m not Oz.” Before Qrow’s alarm can supernova (because what if she’s a Salem agent how did she know the code now she has the CANE-) he spots a dark head of hair and all his thoughts screech to a stop again.

-The boy (how old is he? TWELVE? fourteen actually but Noctscar has a baby face), smiles and there is something old and foxy and familiar in his gaze as he accepts the cane from Parsine, extends it, and then leans on it just like he always used to, “Hello Qrow,” the boy says and it’s not Oz’s voice, but it’s his CADENCE, his mannerisms as he tilts his head faintly to the side in greeting, “This is Oscar Pine,” he presses a hand against the young chest (his chest but also not, there’s a kid in there dragged into this war and Qrow will worry about that later), then gestures at the woman, “And this is his aunt, Parsine Pine.”

-Somehow, despite Parsine’s best efforts, Qrow still manages to get utterly smashed in celebration that he’s not the only (supposedly responsible) adult in the group anymore and so one Extremely Annoyed Aunt Parsine ends up potato-sacking Qrow up to the house where Team JNRR is staying with Oscar in the lead to knock on the door because he figured his aunt kicking down the door with a drunk Qrow over her shoulder would make a bad first impression.

-So the scene with Oscar knocking and then going “Is there a ... Ruby Rose here?” Is all still canon, complete with awkward fidgeting because Noctscar may have the Lucii slumming around in his skull but being hyper-aware of an impatient aunt coming up the hill with a drunk man slung like a corpse over her shoulder is enough to make anyone shy.

-Of course instead of Qrow swaying in laughing to break the tension, it’s broken by his aunt getting impatient and shoulder past Oscar into the house and flopping a giggly Qrow unceremoniously onto the couch while Oscar helplessly says, “I think her Uncle could use some help?”

-”He needs a bucket of ice water and a good hiding is what he needs,” Aunt Parsine mutters while Team JNRR stare in shock and confusion. Oscar still makes the Silver Eyes comment when Ruby shows up, and when she asks who they are, Aunt Parsine points at Oscar imperiously, “I’m his aunt.”

-Oscar shoots her a bland look, “She’s my Aunt Parsine. I’m Oscar Pine,” a bit of rueful mischief creeps into his eyes as he folds his hands behind his head and says, “But you probably know me as Professor Ozpin.”

-In the gaping silence that follows, Qrow falls off the couch with a giggle of “I FOUND HIM!”

-Aunt Parsine looks like she’s contemplating kicking Qrow’s prone form, “You didn’t find jackrabbits. We found you. Unfortunately.”
