Giiirrrrllllll, Miles just confirmed, on cameo, that Oscar's allusion is The Little Prince and I'm like 🥹😆😫🤩🥰. I mean, not that we didn't already see the signs but still - that confirmation is pure serotonin!
Hey there Heart! Yeeeep, I saw the whole clip over on my Twitter cause the Rosegardeners over there were going wild over this yesterday.
Y’know, it’s funny. Speaking for myself here, I’ve been talking about Oscar alluding to the Little Prince since as early as…what? V6? V5 maybe. I’ve spent YEARS sharing so many thoughts, comments and Pinehead headcanons on this very subject and now that it’s been confirmed by Miles, I feel….weird.
Not like in a bad way. Just…I don’t know what to do with this information (yet). It just feels so surreal. Like it’s too good to be true even though it came straight from the horse’s mouth.
All those theories and we were right!
All those folks telling us we were wrong when we were right!
And since Oscar is indeed the little prince of Remnant then you cannot convince me otherwise that Ruby ain’t the rose in his story. His true rose. There’s no denying it now.
Not unless there will be another young rose-themed female character introduced in Vacuo to play the role of the “other rose” to be a rival to Ruby to force Oscar to question his devotion (and love) to her.
A desert rose, as I'll dub her.
To me, I like the concept of the other rose in Oscar’s story to be the final Maiden---the Summer Maiden---making them a magical being similar to Oscar. And technically the maidens are the envoys of Ozma’s magic so that would’ve been an interesting dynamic to explore. Having Oscar share a connection to a maiden, even if will be temporary in the end.
Anyways, that’s a thought and theory for another time.
Obviously I would love to talk more about it, like I do. However, for now, I’m still just taking it in.
Oscar, the little (golden) prince confirmed!
