Do you ever think about what two auras merging would look like, physically?

bonus content under the cut

I ended up adding spots of a bunch of different colors, one to get a bit of an oily sheen texture, and two because I think Oz’ aura is probably a mishmash of different colors that *mostly* settle into green but still peek through here and there.

Here’s one without his hand bc it ended up obscuring some details lol

I’ve also always wondered if Oscar’s aura was originally green. I mean, he hadn’t unlocked it until he met Oz, so…

Wait, uh, we didn't see you swap back after speaking with Theo. I'm guessing that you're Oscar, right?

Oscar’s eyes glowing green is weird. The sound effect is clearly the same from when they swap places, but his eyes typically glow gold/yellow. Question is: What’s happening?

And I think I might have an answer… and it requires reworking everything I thought I knew about the merge. 

The TLDR of my theory is: I think Ozpin uses magic to delegate control of the body. So, Oscar’s never been able to fully control the swapping process bc he couldn’t use their magic– he has always needed Ozpin’s help to do so. The magic in the epilogue might be trying to force them to swap, to force Oscar to take control of it. 

If you want to know how I got to that, keep reading. I’m excited to hear other people’s thoughts on this. ^_^

So, before now, I’ve assumed that their eyes glow because of the god of light. Even the white haired guy’s eyes glow when Ozma takes control for the first time. In the Lost Fable, during the divorce, Salem reforms with the same golden glow. 

I have also assumed that the eye glow indicated that Oscar and Oz were swapping places. I believe this notion might be incorrect.

My main evidence for this is V7's finale. Oscar is falling, knocked out by Ironwood. Then, Ozpin's voice wakes Oscar up, his eyes glowing golden as he takes control.

However, he isn't swapping control. Ozpin wasn't in control: neither of them seemed to be. Therefore, the magic must be more complicated than a simple swap.

Another moment that gives me pause is in V6C2. After the train derails, everyone's questioning Ozpin about the lamp. Oscar is able to push through, resisting Ozpin's control enough to provide Jinn's name.

As we can see, there’s no golden-eye effect. Although, we do hear something: the swapping sound effect. 

Usually there’s 2 parts to the swapping sound effect: a hissing sound and a lower echo-y undercurrent. It’s usually heard quickly, not lingering as the swap finishes and his eyes stop glowing. However, in this scene, the sound is drawn out as Oscar fights back– even as violins(?) start playing to amp up the tension. The moment all the music stops and the tension is released, we can assume Ozpin has regained full faculties. 

Based on these scenes, I concluded that the glowing eyes might indicate either one of them taking control of the body. In this scene, Ozpin is never not in control of the body. Oscar is just able to resist, holding the body frozen in Ozpin’s expression. But then I realized something. 

Outside of this scene, Oscar has never taken control over the body. 

Like, I cannot think of another time where Oscar forcefully took over Ozpin or clearly brought Ozpin to control. He’s been asked permission, sure. But, in control??? 

In these scenarios, Oscar’s role has always been framed as passive, with Ozpin as active. Ozpin can take over Oscar no problem, with or without permission. Oz even asking is a courtesy, if anything. Ozpin can also just swap out and force Oscar to be in control (see V6 when Ozpin hides from everyone as an example).

With this in mind, maybe the eye glow isn't for whomever is in control. It’s to indicate Ozpin’s state of control over the body. Ozpin swaps in– eye glow. Ozpin swaps out– eye glow. V6C2 is the only time Oscar comes close to forcibly taking control. At that point, it might even be impossible for Oscar to do so. Oscar can try to initiate, but Ozpin has to actually do it. 

This like. Drastically changed my view of how the Ozmosis works. It also might explain why his eyes are glowing green and what’s happening in the epilogue. So, I started thinking about what is likely the source of the green: his magic. 

We know for a FACT, Oscar didn’t gain control over Ozpin’s magic until V7. Given we know the god of light’s magic is what dictates Ozpin’s reincarnation, it would not be a leap to suggest that Ozpin is using that magic when he swaps. Ergo, if Oscar cannot use magic, he cannot fully control the swap. 

Under this scenario, my first example makes more sense. Either Ozpin was waking up Oscar (forcing him into control) OR Oscar was able to take control because he tapped into Ozpin’s magic for the first time. 

When I watched the epilogue, it reminded me of the V6 scene. The prolonged sound effect, the clear struggle. He sounds like he's in pain. :(

He says he's resisting the merge, but the merge... it's not exactly tangible?? The merge is a process not a thing. For instance, if I put a dam on a river it stops the water from flowing. The merge is the flow here. What's the water?

I have two guesses as to what these episodes are:

Less likely, but it could be his magic activating uncontrollably. Him resisting Ozpin's influence might make it harder to control. He can't use the magic, bc of course, it makes them merge faster. Doesn't necessarily explain the sound effect, but their first on screen swap was a green color.

The merge is trying to force them to co-pilot, and/or force Ozpin into control of the body. Oscar collapses both times. We could assume it's from the pain, but it could also be because he momentarily loses control of his body.

I'm leaning towards the second. There's only so much we can take from an animatic, with things getting changed in the final product.

Anyways, those are my main thoughts right now. I'd LOVE to hear other people's thoughts or opinions!

You know what I just realized Oscar was implying when Jaune asked if they would make it?

Oscar: Around that campfire, did it matter?

Jaune: No, no. I guess it didn’t.

Oscar mainly said that to make Jaune feel better but there’s also an underlying implication, he’s also saying that about himself, implying that he’s possibly come to accept that even if he doesn’t make it, that having been around everyone, his friends, making memories with them, (his own campfires, if you will) it doesn’t matter to him, because at the end of the day; he was apart of their lives and they were apart of his and nothing else matters.

It’s a beautiful sentiment that I’m sure Oz also sadly came to the same conclusion himself.

you are doing an amazing service to oscar fans (me) thank you

for no particular reason (i like to fuck with my friends) do you have any screenshots where oz and oscar are particularly different to tell apart?? i need them for—reasons…

OOOOH, my friend you have come to the RIGHT place! Not sure if you're looking for pics where one looks like the other, and would trip someone up guessing, or moreso pics where he looks very in-between to the point where it could be either of them. Either way, I gotcha covered!

[I also have a uquiz here full of confusing Oscar/Ozcar pics!]

Darn tumblr and it's 30 image limit.... ah, well, take these and lemme know if you crave more (I have a lot) or want any of 'em clarified as to who it is! Thanks for the nice ask!

My apologizes but I'm gonna complain about Fixing RWBY a bit more.

They dislike the Ozmosis and they believe Ozpin must be an evil soul parasite that takes over people's bodies and override their identity. This is shown by the fact that "Ozpin" is a named he's had across incarnations, and the real name of the headmaster we knew is "Magnus Rainart"

Now is this a bad idea? No, soul-parasites are interesting; loss of identity, something something, it's cool stuff; however I don't believe it's better than the original.

See the thing about the Ozmosis is that it's complicated: Oz doesn't override the host's personality, they merge; we're still unsure what that entitles but it's clear that is not a matter of Oz taking over the body, the hosts changes him; Ozpin is different from the King of Vale who is different from the Engineer who is different from the Old Man who is different from Ozma, whoever Oscar is gonna be when the dust settles is not gonna be Ozpin in a smaller frame, he's gonna be something else. And that's interesting because it's unpredictable; if Oz overrides the host, we know what happens at the end: Oscar ceases to exist leaving only Ozma; but as it stands we don't know what's gonna happen, we don't know who Oscar Pine is gonna be, we don't know if he'll still be Oscar Pine

It's also morally complicated; first off, Oz has no control over any of this, he can't choose not to reincarnate and not to merge with his host, this happens and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Second, it's not necessarily a bad thing, soul-parasite erasing you it's an objectively bad thing, you cease to exist, for all intents and purposes you are dead; but a merge? You and you're soul-mate becoming one? Well, that's more complicated, are you still you? Or are you him? How do you know? Where does the host end and Oz begin? It's not as simple, and gives room for more complicated questions about change, growing up and evolution, Ship of Theseus and stuff. And I'm sorry for bringing this up again: Star Trek Trills, the Trill species can bond with symbions and the host and symbion merge into one identity, similar to the Ozmosis and that's an objectively good thing is Star Trek, both parts are believe they are growing and evolving by joining (granted in Star Trek the joining is voluntary on both parts)

Basically I feel Fixing RWBY is flattening a fascinating philosophical concept, and I'm not sure why. I don't know if it's because they want Ozpin to be evil, or the Ozmosis is too complex for them

Do you expect to be called Oscar, Ozpin or something else at the end… if worst comes to worst?

"Especially from those who have a hard time… coming to terms with how much we have changed from the person they once knew."

Oscar worrying about becoming more like Ozpin, being overshadowed by Ozpin’s history and success, losing his autonomy... and not for a single second, it seems, has Ozpin ever worried about the reverse being true. 

Ozma just struts into the first incarnation’s life and completely up-ends it. Marries Salem, becomes a local god, has kids. Y’know, the usual. We never even get this dude’s name; his actual identity is so irrelevant to Ozma’s narrative. Ozma’s just gonna grab another soul and move on to the next poor guy.

I think that since Ozma has been thinking this way for so long, that he has all these memories when he passes on, that he believes himself to still be accountable to that name.

If Oscar becomes Ozma, he has to shoulder all of the guilt and hate that Ozma has accumulated. His friends reassure Oscar that he’s his own person, just like they reassure Penny that she’s a real person, but we know he doesn’t believe that’ll be true at the end of it all.

But he has to. He has to believe in his own personhood, since that’s what at the end of day will help him retain his own identity. He might change, retain Ozma’s memories, but he must believe that he’s Oscar.

No but the actual extent that Yugi and Yami/Atem’s relationship from the OG Yugioh had on me as a kid. Young me was absolutely obsessed 🥹🥺

Their relationship is what made me latch into Oz and Oscar. Yeah their situations aren’t exactly the same but I recognize the similarities and I just love them both so damn much.

I loved Yugi and Yami’s brotherly relationship and I love Oz and Oscar’s to despite its 90% me depicting them having a father/son relationship (though Miles definitely helped with that since he basically validated it)

I totally believe that if Oscar and Yugi ever met they would be the best of friends. Yugi would give Oscar perspective on his situation with Oz and I think Yami would do the same for Ozpin.

I summon my friends who might understand me
