Wow it's been a quite a few months since the very first chapter of OOTO hasn't it? And Oskar has come far as a character, when he first arrived here in Equestria all Oskar cared for was his own advancement and personal safety. And now, now he is endangering that personal advancement and safety for others. He could have taken the easy path and ate Twilight for her knowledge and magic but he didn't, instead he took the long road. He could've kept his silence and stayed behind the scenes during the fashion show in a attempt to cause a rift between the Mane Six but he didn't. And when he found out that he was being hunted he could've chosen to simply run, consume and Twilight and disappear, never likely to be found again. But you know what? He didn't, he stayed and fought for the right to remain Emerald Gleaner, to remain as a friend of the Mane Six.
Not to say that Oskar is a good person. One has to remember that the reason Oskar was being hunted by the Griffins was because he murdered one of the their own. He should have never needed to convince himself not to kill Twilight, what kind of person needs to convince himself not to murder someone? And Rarity, his first impulse should have been to stand up for her against the unfair treatment but he didn't do that at first either. Oskar is not a good person, there is an explanation for why this is so and he is getting better but you can't forget that he is dangerous.
Now that I think about I think we are past the half way point in the story now. You guys have seen a lot but I still loads of new interesting things to show you! Can't wait to see what you all think of the next few chapters!
it has been a pleasure reading your work. and here's to hoping for more griffon carnage.
What kind of person needs to convince himself not to murder someone?
Someone who has been conditioned to ignore their conscience, *Cough* mercer flashback *Cough*
And from the looks of those nightmares, flashbacks, and monologues it looks like its slowly loosening.
Now when he gets ‘all better’ all he has to do is pray rainbow doesn't find out about Gilda… oh yea and the princesses too.
You've done a wonderful job on the fic so far . It's my favorite prototype crossover on the site.
