xstonehill replied to your quote “Oscar better join up with JNR to reform Team JNPR. I feel like after...”

/whispers: Squiggles. Why reform Team RNJR when they could form team ORNJ instead?

Squiggles Answers:

*whispers back* Because Oscar is still a baby nugget, he’s not ready to be a leader of anything even though he’s expected to be. I mean, yeah sure Jaune wasn’t much of a leader when Ozpin first picked him to lead JNPR but that’s because he showed tremendous leadership potential against the Deathstalker back in V1. Jaune proved himself to be a good spearhead back in his greener days. Oscar still hasn’t proven himself much on the battlefield to solidify him as ready to lead a team.

Besides, back in the Beacon Trilogy, Jaune was the leader and Pyrhha was basically his second in command who helped him to grow in his skills as a swordsman and huntsman. I’m hoping for the reverse dynamic with Oscar and Jaune where Oscar becomes Jaune’s second in command and Jaune mentors Oscar in order to further bring out his potential as a fighter and tactician. I’m still waiting for that parallel and I’m holding onto it till it comes to fruition at some point hopefully.

Plus Team JNPR reforming holds more significance to it. I mean, I wouldn’t mind if the CRWBY added in a funny moment where Ren and Nora are once again debating the name of the team between JNOR or ORJR just as they did in V4.

It’d be cool if after Oscar’s inauguration into the group is official, Nora’s all like “So what do we call ourselves now? Are we JNOR or ORNJ?”

Picture it like this:

Jaune: From the beginning, you never had a place on this team. Not really. You were introduced to us as Professor Ozpin and for the most part that’s how some; most of us saw you. How I saw you. Just another version of Ozpin. But, I know more now that you’re not another Ozpin. You’re more than that. The two of you may share a body but you, Oscar, are nothing like Ozpin. You’re your own person and I was wrong for blaming you for Ozpin’s deceit. I’m sorry. 

Oscar: …Jaune I--- 

Jaune raises a hand to interrupt Oscar. 

Jaune: I’m not done. Part of being on a team means that we don’t keep important secrets from each other. And, if I’m being completely honest, I…don’t know if I’ll ever be able to fully trust Ozpin again if he ever comes back. My teammate…my friend died fighting for a cause he made us believe was worth giving our lives for. I can’t…I can’t forgive him for that. Not now.

I don’t know if I’ll ever trust Ozpin again. But I would like to think that I can trust you, Oscar. After everything I said and did, you still saved my life. You saved my family and that means a lot to me. But you still don’t have your own place on our team. Which is why I--- We would like to offer you one. 

Oscar: What do you mean? 

Jaune: *looking at Ren and Nora who both smile and nod their approval* How’d you like to join us? 

Oscar: WHAT! Join you? Like… join your team? Like… a real huntsmen team? Me? Are you…are you serious? I mean I’m just…I’m not even…are you sure I’m good enough? 

Ren: It’s not really about being good enough. It’s about being brave and you have that.

Nora: It’s about being strong and you’ve definitely got that. Besides look on the Brightside, you’re still leagues better than Jaune when he first started off and he was a real--- 

Jaune: …Okay, that’s enough walk down memory lane Nora. Look Oscar, every great huntsman starts somewhere and they usually start off as part of a team. I wouldn’t be half the huntsman I am today if it weren’t for the support and friendship that my teammates gave me. 

Our team has been... incomplete for some time now but I’d like to think that if Pyrhha was here, she’d be more than happy to have you join us. 

Nora: Especially since you’re such a cutie.

Jaune: Nora!

Nora: What? He is!

Jaune: Anyways…what do you say Oscar? Wanna join up with us? 

Oscar: You know, I never asked for any of this. When I first heard Ozpin’s voice inside my head, I wasn’t asked to become a huntsman. It was more something I was told I had to live up to and there’s a lot of it I still have to figure out. Shoes I have to fill. I can’t make up for what Ozpin---what Ozma has said or… done. 

Ren: …And we’re not asking you to.

Jaune: This isn’t about Ozpin. This is about you.

Nora: We want you, as Oscar, to join us as Oscar because we as JNR like you as Oscar. Did I say that right? 

Oscar: *chuckles* Well since you put it like that how can I say no. *smiles brightly* Sure. I’ll join you guys.  

Jaune and Ren exchange smiles while Nora cheers excitedly before sweeping Oscar into a big bear hug, much to the farm boy’s embarrassment.

Nora: This is perfect! *squishes Oscar* Now that Cute Boy Oz is in, our team is finally complete again! But wait? *gasps* What do we call ourselves now? JNOR or…ORNJ? 

Jaune: *sighing exasperatedly* Not this again.

Nora: *enthusiastically* Oh! I vote ORNJ!

Ren: But if we call ourselves ORNJ, wouldn’t that make Oscar the leader?

Nora: Oooh good point.

Oscar: *nervous* Guys, I appreciate you letting me join the team and all but making me leader is too much of a stretch.

Jaune: We’re not making you, leader. I’m the leader so ORNJ is out.

Nora: *makes a grumpy face* Fine. Well we gotta call ourselves something.

Jaune: Fine. JNOR then.

Ren: But JNOR’s not a colour.

Oscar: Does it have to be a colour?

Nora: It’s kinda does, yeah.

Ren: The first letter of each team member’s name is used to form an acronym that stands for the name of the team. In some cases, the first letter of a member’s surname may be used as well. And every team name follows the colour naming rule.

Oscar: Ooh…well then, since ORNJ’s out. How about…JNPR? My last name is Pine and juniper’s a colour. Can that work? *smiles innocently*

Ren and Nora both smile at each other before looking over at Jaune, who had the same wide smile. Jaune then placed his hand on Oscar’s shoulder looking down at him happily.

Jaune: It’s…perfect.

Bruh! I will lose my shit if we got a scene like this. Especially if Oscar innocently makes the suggestion to call the group JNPR without knowing that that was their original name in the first place. That would be golden, not to mention cute on Oscar’s part. 

Plus the group doesn’t have to be called ORNJ to hold any significance to Oscar because, I just looked up the colour juniper and this is the first colour that came to mind.

This is the colour Juniper. 

Funnily enough, Juniper resembles Pine Green which is the colour that represents Oscar’s last name. This is Pine Green:

Except being possibly a shade dark, the colours juniper and pine green are nearly identical. Not to mention that since Juniper is a variant of the colour green, that makes it complimentary to Ruby which is a variant of the colour red. 

I never knew that Juniper was a form a green so it fits since JNPR has always been the support group to Team RWBY which works because their team colours are complimentary. That’s perfect.

 But anyways, you get my point XD Sorry for the rambling.

ehehe I'm late for the reply and also meant to send you one, best be getting on that 👀 🖍️ When did you start drawing? Do you remember?

I recently answered this one over here, but tldr; I (apparently) drew all my life, but I didn't realize what you could do with art until I was around 10 y/o and then I was hooked and have been drawing ever since.

🎁 Do you prefer drawing fandom stuff or your own characters?

hmmm i go where the brainrot takes me. Before RG grabbed me by the throat, i was drawing my OCs almost exclusively. There are merits to both tho. I like drawing original characters because they're a part of me and I work hard on their designs but I find the inner critic comes out a lot when I do. Always wondering if the design is right or if I need to change it as I go... Fan art is less stressful cause the designs and characters already exist and i always feel like there's a bit more freedom.

🍭 What’s your main art blog / what do you tag your art with?

Hi Louie!! I hope you’ve been doing well. And no worries on not following my writing anymore, I know that the daiya fandom slowed down so it’s a given that a lot of us would part ways (and besides which, FF ate up my life after that).

Thank you for the very kind compliments! But to be honest I don’t know if I can pinpoint any piece of literature that really inspired my writing style?? I basically haven’t read any published fiction properly since like, high school (which was a very long time ago LOL! I’m old af) since I’ve literally just been reading fanfic nonstop since then, haha. IIRC the last books I read properly may have been the big Tolkien ones actually (so basically LotR and the Silmarillion). And damn, that was forever ago, lol.

I think that the reason why I write the way I do is because I’m pretty much always bursting with so much to say about a single moment, and I feel like … just stating it without actually delving into it isn’t enough for me, if that makes any sense (I’m like this IRL too tbh, even the corporate emails I send out at work are all stretched long because I always have a lot to say; I’m sure all my colleagues are really sick of it 😂). So I don’t really feel like I’ve been inspired by anyone else’s work specifically, unless it’s on a subconscious level and I’m just not aware of it; I just naturally like to think about every aspect / every detail of something because I’m pedantic that way, I guess.

10) When is the last time you played the air guitar?

i have never haha. when i was a kid i used a badminton rocket, does that count?

14) If you are outside, what are you most likely doing?

lately, it’s so i can go to my japanese lessons, meet friends, or run errands. nothing exciting.

46) Have you ever caught a butterfly?

yes! i used to do that a lot when i was a kid. now i just let them be :D

74) What's a song that always makes you happy when you hear it?

hmm, that’s a difficult question, since i get tired of songs quite easily, but currently i like stay gold by utada hikaru. and the first opening of daiya (go exceed!!), when it comes up on my phone, i get all the feels.

99) If the whole world were listening to you right now, what would you say?

oh wow. that’s even more difficult than the previous one but i guess: be kind, be respectful, love, don’t hate. a little kindness goes a long way, you never know what the other person is struggling with. and don’t be afraid to do the things you wanna do, to pursue your dreams. go make that first step!
