This is the funniest shit ever 😭

I can’t help myself but speak in an evil villain/omalley from rvb voice at every inconvenience and today I got locked out of the hotel we were staying at and a Wiggled the door and said “YOU IDIOTS!!! YOU THINK A LOCKED DOOR CAN KEEP ME AWAY! HAH you are even more FOOLISH THAN I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT MWAHAHA, my WRATH CANNOT BE CONTAINED by one of your SIMPLE WOODEN DOORS” and apparently you could hear that from the other side of the door and apparently the reason why it wouldn’t open was because it just wasn’t my room

Anyways here’s york and delta as a titan and pilot from titan fall 2 if you guys fw that I’ll Work at the ship art at some point oh and I traced the official titan model so credit to that my aaa cannot freehand draw titans

THIS ^^

One thing I would like to point out though is the fact that Grif and Simmons would have gotten to talk about the storage closet if we didn’t get the season 18 we got.

Other than that this hits the nail right on the head.

I know everyone loves to make japes and jabs about the queerbaiting of Grimmons (including me) but my hot take is was that it was never truly queerbaiting until at the earliest S15. Never in a single mainline season of RvB before 15 did they truly queerbait Grimmons. The qualifier for queerbaiting is to keep LGBT fans watching while not aliening their mainstream audience, but I do NOT think they looked at their fanbase comprised majorly of reddit users and thought "okay lets tease the minority shippers too to make sure they stay watching". They did not even consider the fangirls, for years. Rooster Teeth never needed to do that until their company was on life support.

The cracks in seasons 1&2 about them being an old married couple and to stop the pillow talk etc etc? Normal 2004-era "gay people haha funny" jokes. Only in current year can those things be retroactively construed as bait. Behind the scenes stuff? Also mostly jokes of the time.

So what about the storage closet sex? Even hotter take: that was more a straight up a jump to ship teasing. Like there was hardly any "bait" there. They had sex. Period. That was the Nov5th of grimmons. Only after THAT did they bait, because of how they never actually talk. About the storage closet sex. And only allude to it and Them(tm).

vile 😭

Simmons finally becoming the leader of Red Team while simultaneously becoming the last member of Red Team like:

[circuitspeeder]

And because epsilon Church has more memories of Caboose he gave him some of the best parts/ lines this season.

Church’s perception of Carolina is also a person who comes in at the last second to save the day, and let’s be fr church definitely still sees Wash as Carolina’s bitch 😭

Because epsilon never got to actually meet Sigma he just associates him the next biggest asshole he can think of, that being Felix.

I love this HC, and I will be joining you in copium corner till my hyper fixation fizzles out. (It’s been nearly a year send help)

Join me in the copium corner! Restoration is a simulation headcanons (feel free to add on if you have any):

The reason no one acts like they care about each other is because Church is so emotionally constipated and bad at expressing his emotions that it ends up affecting the rest of the simulation.

The reds are so ooc for the same reason they were ooc in the memory unit in season 9. Because Church doesn’t know them as well as the others.

Istg Church just has an obsession with giving Wash psychological damage every chance he gets.

He just wishes there was a version of events where he could’ve given Tex a better ending.

He did the grimmons closet sex in the shisno simulations so this time he decided they should get divorced. Just for the lols.

Wherever Donut is he’s living his best life because he was always Church’s favorite red.

[circuitspeeder]

My exact thoughts bro 😭

restoration sucked so bad. i'm obsessed with it. it had some of the most competent caboose moments in the entire series. it was out of character except for the parts where it was incredibly in character. it was lame. it made me cry. there was a bare naked ladies song in it. half of the main cast didn't even show up. it had two major character deaths. it retconned everything past season 13. it was a terrible ending. it separated grif and simmons. it was somehow still better than zero. burnie burns when i catch you.

RED VS BLUE RESTORATION SPOILERS

This is stuff I liked :D

Can I just say how fucking good caboose was in this? I genuinely adored competent caboose, and he still felt very in character, to me at least.

The way all the AI’s were still so in character even after all these years had me happy. Sigma also got to drop his ‘manipulator’ persona and got to just be cruel which feels in character but I can see how some might not like it.

Sigma snapping a bit at Theta then Delta telling Sigma to fuck off and leave him alone then telling Theta to come by him was fucking adorable. Delta and Theta fans stay winning. 💪

The felix part still confuses the fuck out of me but the way I’ve chosen to interpret it is Sigma basically just taking felix’s voice to specifically fuck with tucker. (Aka they couldn’t get big actor no more so miles is now sigma)

Sigma could have potentially also taken some of Felix’s personality cuz no way bro was like ‘i’m gonna sit in a glass box and pretend I’m a statue then jump out at them when they come looking! This shit is gonna be so funny!’ Like 😭😭

The way The Meta also just kinda throws shit around like a toddler is funny to me, but also sort of helps show that he isn’t exactly 100% there.

The Caboose and Tucker scene fucked me up. 10/10 no notes for that. Caboose’s VA also fucking killed that scene.

479er and Shelia was fucking amazing. Along with the small gag with Lopez at the beginning. I hate how they later just disappear but I’m happy we got them at all.

Kai is literally my favorite character behind Grif. At the very least I’m happy we got ANYTHING from her.

Seeing Tucker being tortured the way they tortured the Alpha, and possibly Maine was so cool, but also fuck you for that.

Idk if I’m 100% correct on this, but it seems like the machinima parts on charon’s ship were green screened. I could be wrong but it looked a bit wonky sometimes.

First time Grif salutes Sarge is when he’s fucking dead. Fuck me.

The memories around the fire, and Grif finally being given the option to leave was all stuff I liked. Grif choosing to stay to at least fight the Meta was cute.

Tex coming back instead of church was actually fucking gold. This version being made from positive memories was also perfect.

Hearing Round 1/Bullfight, like I said before, got me hard instantly.

Tex and Carolina fighting together, loved it, but they did feel far weaker than we have previously seen them.

Small nit pick, the figh animation was great, but they still have the camera issue where it just sorta floats around a bit when it could help to better enhance what was happening, but I still loved the fight.

God the lighting on the animated bits was so fucking pretty.

Tex and Church (or Allison and Leonard) finally getting to fucking rest was 🙏 That part genuinely had me in tears.

Then after that it’s sorta down hill for me, but I will say how I can understand how some might think Grif leaving was a good thing.

Again rvb0 cameo made me throw up in my mouth-

I did love how Dr.Gray mentioned that Donut was an admiral. Good for him.

Grif telling Simmons to come with him had me kicking my feet like a little girl.

Grif and Simmons honestly felt so much closer this season. They felt like genuine friends, and while I kinda knew we weren’t gonna get it canonized they still carried, along with Caboose.

I do over all prefer the season 15-17 time line, along with the OG scrapped season 18 we could have gotten, but this was a fine ending. At the very least I hope they enjoyed making it.

[circuitspeeder]

The end of this post is what I planned on saying in another one. I do love the RvB multi verse/ simulation idea. So viewing it via that lens I am far more content with the ending.

Thoughts on RvB Restoration Finale

not really that long just my 2 cents

I wanna say I liked the movie because I did enjoy myself watching it, but honestly I'm very much gonna stick to the RvB17 open ended finale

Overall the movie was... ok? It wasn't unwatchably bad the way RvB Zero was but it also just made a lot of choices that I disagree with fundamentally both with the writing and the core themes of the series as a whole. I've had this take ever since RvB14 on the fanbase and the writers but this movie flat out says it:

The writers are fucking unable to let go of PFL and Chorus in a meaningful way.

For a series thats core message is about saying goodbye, they literally dont let that part of the show die. They are functionally unable to let go of the past peaks of the franchise and write something new. And I get it: RvB fundamentally cycles with its storytelling, but what was so refreshing to me about RvB14-17 was that it actually progressed itself Past those peaks of RvB10 and 11-13 (and honestly people REALLY dont appreciate the good in those later seasons). It felt like a natural (if wacky) progression, and it definitely wasnt perfect but it gave the extended cast more opportunities to shine in ways we didnt appreciate before

This movie just doesnt do that? Honestly the fact that they KILLED Sarge and Doc was so... disrespectful to me? Like not in the sense that it was as bad as how RvB Zero (fake) killed Tucker, but more like it felt like the writers killed them off because they were following a book titled "How To Write Story" and saw 'killing off characters is good writing'. Sarge got a dramatic send off that also didnt feel that impactful? And I did see it coming from the start but having Doc be Washs' guilt haunting him just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Its a really self contained story, a whole bunch of characters outside the main 3 reds and Caboose felt ooc, a good chunk of characters dont even show up (dude where was DONUT??? youre telling me he only has 5 seconds in Simmons' mind in a cheerleading costume?), it was composed of like 3-4 sets total, Carolina, Tex and 479er all just kind of Show Up to be badasses in the way The New Person would show up in an MCU movie...

Honestly watching this movie I kind of felt like it would have a twist ending. Like the credits would play and then itd zoom out to show the Reds and Blues post S17 in a movie theater watching this dramatic finale, because thats honestly what it felt like: The whole movie was a cheap facsimile of RvB as a whole. The fact that Trocadero wasn't allowed/signed on to make the music for this finale really does influence this movie, since they used a whole bunch of songs and osts that felt out of place (though I will admit Vale Deah softly playing as Grimmons said goodbye to each other did make me choke up a little)

Despite my negative review, I do still recommend watching it, since there was stuff I did like: Simmons in a leader role, Tex and the fun reveal during her fight with Tucker-Meta, Grif FINALLY getting to retire, Caboose as a whole was really well written, there IS good in this movie! And again it's not unwatchable bad, it just... kind of leaves a somber, sour taste in my mouth. This movie threw a whole bunch of stuff to the wall not to see what would stick but to break it all and leave for the insurance money. Just a "hey since we're sinking might as well make all these callbacks and break a bunch of stuff along the way."

Welp. Goodbye, RvB. At least this way I know that RT dies without riding your coattails any longer. And hey given that RvB technically has 3 endings (RvB17, Zero and RvB19) you can just take your pick on what you like best anyways. Quick edit no jutsu I forgor to mention there is the sequence at the beginning of the movie where it is implied RvB19 COULD also be one of the simulations in and of itself so. yeah you can in fact just take it as you will

[circuitspeeder]

it was an honor being queerbated with you all 🫡

[circuitspeeder]

This was actually fucked. One of my favorite parts of the season..? Special..? Idk what to call it 😭

"tucker, tucker." "don't call us that. caboose, i-i, i-i can't stop it." "don't feel bad afterwards. i forgive you. i know it's not your fault. i'm sorry this is happening to you."

[circuitspeeder]

Holy shit it’s because of York.

With Caboose’s comment it’s implied that Carolina didn’t care for the fact she was insulted, but the fact that Sarge said Mrs.

Mrs is typically used for a woman who is married, and while I’m not saying Carolina and York got married, I am saying that she likely could have corrected them because of the fact that York is dead.

If this is actually the case then Ima ball my fuckin eyes out dude. I was re-watching this for funnies not to pick up on shit like this 😭😭

[circuitspeeder]

Please someone tell me I’m not reaching. Tell me i’m not crazy. Tell me that 2 shows that have been rotting my brain have this connection. TELL ME IT WAS INTENTIONAL!!

[circuitspeeder]

Rvb fandom, jokingly: haha what if in season 19 they [worst possible outcome, actual nightmare scenario, the darkest timeline]

Me, who’s seen Apollo target this fandom one too many times: what if, and just hear me out, you shut th e fu c k u p

[circuitspeeder]

SO IT WAS YOU 🫵

😨

I hope Rooster Teeth immediately crumbles and shuts down the moment season 19 drops so the company starts and ends with rvb like a cursed amulet that drains your life force and corrupts your mind

[circuitspeeder]

Yes RoosterTeeth had its management problems, and a pile of other issues, but the fact that it was shut down by FUCKING WARNER of all things just adds a heap of ‘piss me off’ that wouldn’t be there if it ended literally any other way.

They didn’t even wait for rvb season 19 to release. Just pulled the fucking plug.

I know that they are now saying that they are gonna try and sell RWBY and RvB and the other things but it just brings me back to the fucking cartoon purge and batgirl being cut for fucking tax shit.

Hey, Warner! Maybe treat your workers a little better and stop regurgitating done dead slop and you’ll get back on your feet. You have millions of dollars at your disposal! Most have done more with less! Like.. gee.. I don’t know.. maybe the company you just FUCKING SACKED!

RIP Rooster Teeth.

Can’t say i’m surprised but sucks how you went out.

Anyways, fuck you Warner. Eat my asshole.

[circuitspeeder]

21 years old. The queer bait can pour itself a cold one to finally being fucking canonized.

(FUCK OFF IK IT TECHNICALLY ISN’T SUCK MY DIC-)
