It's my 10 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

So, all my side blogs turned 10 recently. I don’t remember creating them all on the same day lol, but anyway. Sorry that the last few posts on this blog has been just rants, what has happened to RoosterTeeth has me feeling a lot of things;

They were a big part of my life from 2012-2015, and yet it feels like longer than that, as if I was there from the beginning (probably cos I went back and watched every single video leading up to the present day at that point lol). I was proud to see the company and the community grow. During that time in my life, I felt alone and was struggling with my mental health, so it felt like they were the only “friends” I had. Then I met people in the community that RT and all of us built.

I remember watching AH before they branched off into their separate channels, laughing at the let’s plays, Rage Quits, RTAAs and tuning in for RTExtraLife every year. I remember being, not immediately psyched about RWBY, but I always go back to the trailers even now. There’s something about them, they still gave me a lot of writing inspiration. I was honoured to have met Monty Oum, albeit briefly, and I still want his signature to be my first tattoo.

It’s sad to see the company fall apart the way it did, but from all the stuff that’s happened over the years, I can’t say I’m surprised. Maybe it was just their time. For anyone who was still there, all the animators and crew, I hope they find other work. I still check in with some of them every now and then, cos they’ll always have my admiration and respect. I worried for them and wondered “will they be ok?”

The people who worked there, I would see but a fraction of their lives play out in front of me. Like Michael and Lindsay; seeing them as coworkers, become friends, then start dating, get engaged, married, and start their family. I was cheering on these complete strangers as if I really knew them.

I started writing this a while ago, and what made me wanna continue this post? Meg and Gavin’s wedding pictures 🥰 seeing them having met cos of RT and stay together for all this time, seeing Michael and Lindsay still together and going strong with their family they started, Barbara and Trevor getting engaged. I remember when Ray left and I wished him well, then in his first livestream he held back tears as so many people watched and donated huge amounts to support him. Now he & Tina are married and living their best lives together with their dogs, the dream!

To answer my own question then, I think “yeah, they will be okay” and so will I. We’ll all be okay. We can cherish the memories that RT made for us in whatever stage of life we were at.

Funny enough, I went through a very similar thing where I met the love of my life in a seemingly perfect workplace, and due to poor decisions, the company went bust. We walked away from it as a couple and stronger than ever. Despite everything, I don’t hate the place, and won’t take this relationship for granted.

So, where do we go from here?

“Do you ever wonder why we’re here?”

Well, idk, but I can’t wait to find out. Will I still post on this blog? Idk, maybe! I do know this though, it’s partly because of these guys, that I know I’m creative, and destined to do something with that. They taught me that being weird is okay, and that you’re gonna find your people someday who will love that about you. I know I have.

As Monty always said…

Keep moving forward ❤️🤍����💛

Solangelo Headcanons

So I’ve got a lot of these cause I’m such a simp for Nico and Will (feel free to ask me about any other Headcanons on either character, cause I’ve got LOTS)

They’re both massive nerds, but neither of them really like the same kind of things

Like, Will is more of a Star Wars and Star Trek fan, he loves Harry Potter more than life itself, and reads medical textbooks and animal books for fun

But Nico is such a linguistics and mythology nerd, we all know he loves Pokémon and DND, and he’s really into classic literature and art

They both spend 90% of their dates geeking out over their interests, and even when they talk about something the other doesn’t understand, they’re super supportive and sweet cause they’re both cute geeks

As much as they aren’t interested in the same things for the most part, they do have a few interests in common (pirates, astronomy, Dreamworks and Disney animated movies, The Princess Bride, Lord of the Rings, music, marvel and DC)

They absolutely have movie marathon dates. It’s their favourite thing. Their favourite movie series’ are Pirates of the Caribbean, Night at the Museum, and The Lord of the Rings/ The Hobbit

Nico loves watching Star Wars with Will because Will mumbled the lines along with the characters and does little lightsaber noises along with it and he’s so cute

Will likes watching movie adaptions of classic lit with Nico because he points out everything that’s different from the books, why the movies are bad, and insists on pausing it to go on rants about everything they got wrong. Will fucking loves it

They both have tattoos. Will’s got the sun over his chest, and a small semi colon on his left wrist next to a treble clef. Nico’s got a semicolon on his right wrist next to a bass clef

Will loves Halloween, and Nico could take it or leave it (he never did anything for it because he grew up in Italy), but Nico does couples costumes because Will looks at him with puppy dog eyes and Nico’s helpless

They’ve gone as Jed and Octavian from Night at the Museum; Buzz Lightyear and Woody; those two crazy pirates from Pirates of the Caribbean (the one with the wooden eye who dressed up in drag, and the short one who got upset over parlay); 1930’s mobsters; Adam and Barbara Maitland from Beetlejuice; Han Solo and Luke Skywalker

They actually talk to Mr. D, and that’s why they’re his favourite— they play poker with him, they talk to him, they treat him like anyone else and he lives them for it

Will loves every single one of Nico’s siblings (Rachel, Hazel, Reyna, Meg, Jason, Connor, Travis, Percy, Tyson, Estelle, Chiara, Piper, etc). They share ridiculous Nico stories and plan pranks on him— they all adore Will

Will’s siblings and friends lowkey love Nico more than Will. He brings them McDonalds, teases Will and makes Will blush, attempts archery to try to bond with them (he really tries, but he’s just really awful), he tells Will’s little siblings bedtime stories. Nico’s just really awkward, and he really tries, and they all love him. Of course, Cecil, Lou Ellen, Austin, and Kayla bug Nico a lot because he’s so awkward, but the truth is they really, really, really like him

Will is horrible at music. Like, truly horrible at anything to do with music. But he has an encyclopedic knowledge of music from over the last 200 years, and randomly quotes lyrics and talks about musical theory all day long

In contrast, Nico is amazing at playing piano and guitar, plus he enjoys playing the drums. He’s really musically talented, but knows nothing about the theory behind it or about the artists. Whenever Nico tries to learn a new song, Will nerds out over the musician/background of the song/cool lyrical devices that make it an amazing song. Nico frickin loves it

Nico loves cooking, while Will can’t cook for his life. Like someone get this boy some help, he almost burnt down his mom’s house while microwaving popcorn. They agreed that Nico would cook and Nico would clean

Nico can’t drive for shit. I mean, cars don’t exist in the city where he grew up (there’s not enough room for vehicles on the few roads in Venice), and even if there were, he’s Italian and gay (sorry about the stereotypes there, but I really can’t see Nico being a good driver). Will drives them everywhere or gets Jules-Albert to drive them, and hides Nico’s drivers license to ‘protect the public from his menace of a boyfriend’

You know how I mentioned the no vehicles in Venice thing? Yeah, no bikes are in the city either. Will taught Nico to ride a bike after the Giants War (before they started dating). Hazel took videos and pictures cause Nico was freaking out over it and yelling at Will not to let him die

Will finds animals on the street and adopts them. Nico begrudgingly helps Will to take care of the animals until they find good homes for them (mostly from people in New Rome)

Unfortunately, Will gets attached to them, and now they have 5 cats, 2 dogs, 3 snakes, 4 lizards, and a blue Jay

They’re both really grumpy in the morning. If you wake either of them up, they will probably bite your hand off

They like going on runs a lot? They’ll go on jogs once a day if possible, and they’ll chat or share earbuds while doing so

They go on dates on canoe lake a lot. They like to have races on the canoes, and to just float out away from everyone else (they totally don’t joke about being pirates or pretend to be pirates while on the lake, that’d be ridiculous and childish)

When Will’s been in the infirmary for too long, Nico walks in and throws a Kit Kat at his head, and then drags him out of the infirmary (sometimes by his ear, sometimes by his hand, depending on how long Will’s been in there for or how annoyed Nico is that day)

Nico’s teaching Will how to speak Venetian (he sucks at it, but Nico appreciates the effort)

Nico takes a long time to get used to PDA, and even after they’ve been dating for years, Nico’s really only comfortable with holding hands and hugs (plus cheek kisses or quick pecks) in public. Will’s fine with it, and he didn’t stop smiling for three days after Nico first pecked him on the cheek in public

International dates! Paris, Venice, Milan, Madrid, Banff, Athens, Cairo, Tokyo, Sydney, Ho Chi Minh, everywhere! They love travelling!

They have a lot of conversations where they tell the other how amazing they are (since they’re both pretty self-deprecating, and they think the world of the other, it ends up with them just going ‘shut up you’re beautiful, why do you put up with me’ for hours on end)

Dates on roofs! Nico and Will point out constellations at night and cloud watch during the day. They have picnics on the roof of the Big House, and the Hades and Apollo cabins all the time

They buy each other Funko Pop figures for birthdays, Christmas, and basically anytime they want to get each other a gift

RTX Full Recap

I finally got around to writing it since I’m working on my RTX polaroid album. (Also, this is fucking long, so beware). 

Day 0 (aka pre RTX)

So my flight was delayed by an hour so I didn’t get to Austin until midnight. My cousin picked me up, and I met my niece that I really didn’t know I had (like, she’s 7 years old and I’m just like cool). We got doughnuts and tried to figure out which Hilton I was supposed to stay at. When I got to the Hilton, I grabbed my key and pretty much went to sleep. 

I woke up early that morning because of my brother. (He sorta kicked me out of the room and forced me to get breakfast because he had to get ready). I grabbed my starbucks and went back to my room and got ready. I hung out in my room for an hour or so before deciding on taking a walk. I also called my mother because I didn’t feel like texting her. While I was on the phone with her, I saw Jack walking into the convention center. I didn’t say anything though because I was on the phone with my mother (and he was carrying things). Anyways, so after my walk I went back into the Hilton. I stayed in there for like an hour doing nothing (I pretty much did a henna tattoo on my leg) I went back downstairs. After realizing that I really didn’t feel like walking again, I asked these two guys if I could hang out with them.

They were cool and we pretty much played Sushi Go for a bit. I went with them to their airbnb and played Mario Kart with one of them while the other went to the other room to lie down. 

We played for about an hour until we walked to the Marriott for our badges. I also saw one of my internet friends there and it was like “OMG, I can actually physically hug you!” 

After waiting I think roughly an hour or so for my badge, I met up with the two guys from earlier and walked with them back to their place. While one of the guys went out, the other one and I went back to playing Mario Kart. 

After an hour or so of that (and other things, but let’s not get into my personal life right now), I left because they had friends they were meeting up with. I ended up waiting with Destiny aka @switchtodecaf (aka @takeyourfic) at ACC for her badge. I waited with her for a little bit before my friend finally messaged me back saying he was awake. I went back to the Marriott to pick up my cosplay things from my friend. Before I went up, I saw Mariel and Bethany. I got my polaroid pictures with them before heading up to my friends room. 

I grabbed my things for my Felix cosplay, went back to my hotel to drop everything off, then got dinner. Once I finished, I randomly saw RJ aka @rojahal (aka @roosterteethrambles) walking to the charity gala. She is such an amazing human being and we joked that I was her mom dropping her off at a dance because I walked with her to the gala. 

Then I went back to my hotel room with nothing to do. Luckily Mandy aka @adamantium-ellis invited me to their game night (which Em aka @chefgeofframsay and Destiny were at). I brought the card games I had with me (werewolves, love letter, and sushi go) and walked to their hotel. 

We spent a few hours (I think) playing games before I decided to call it a night and leave. Mandy, Em, and Sebastian (really hope I got his name right) walked me back to my hotel.  

Day 1

So I woke up at 6 AM to my getting ready, and knowing I wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep, I walked to Voodoo doughnuts. I got $30 worth of doughnuts and gave a box of them to my brother for him and Jackie (Lead PA Guardian...I’m pretty sure). The other box I let some friends have. 

I ended up waking an hour nap before I got ready for the day. I somehow accidentally ended up at the Funhaus panel and was like “Okay, this is a thing I’m going to now.”

I met this really cool chick named Alex, and she had the same plan as me (which was leave early for the Cow Chop panel). After half an hour of watching Funhaus host a meme showdown, we left to go Cow Chop. We played love letter while waiting in line. We also got decent seats for the panel which we were amazed with. 

At Cow Chop’s panel, they showed videos the whole time (which I’m pretty sure are all posted now with the exception of 1). It was really cool that I at least got to see them there. 

After their panel, Alex and I went to the convention center where it was hell trying to get in. (And due to our fucking confusion of not knowing where the fuck to go, we got in within 45 minutes instead of waiting for 4 hours, so sorry to everyone who had to wait a long ass time to get in!). Anyways, while in there, I got to meet Ray and Adam. 

I ended up slitting off from them to make sure I got to the Marriott early enough for Werewolves. There, I ended up meeting Chad and Game Attack. Like, Shaun Bolen noticed me walking up to him and said hi immediately. Also, seeing them in person made me feel so small. Like Craig and Shaun are actual giants compared to me. Anyways, I got a polaroid with Shaun and he asked me that if they took a picture with me if they could keep one. I said yes and ran to grab more film because I knew that I was low. So I left my sharpie with him because he needed to sign my polaroid. When I ran back, I took my polaroid with Craig and he signed my polaroid. Luckily, someone from the community offered to take my polaroid with the two. So that first one went to them. While I was changing the film, Craig asked if I had to do that every time and Shaun explained to him how a polaroid camera worked. Also, they were talking to Chad who was sorta across the area we were standing at. They were asking who he was on the phone with and he said something about all of his kids (this spurred this whole thing of Bolen saying that when referring to his kids it should be “both of them” and not “all of them” because he only has two kids)

Anyways, I was ready and got the second polaroid with Game Attack to keep for myself. Now I don’t quite remember if this happened before or after the second polaroid, but they asked me to sign their polaroid and I was just awestruck. I said yes and they gave me a sharpie to use to sign it. After that, there was another girl who walked up, but I realized that Shaun had my sharpie. I stood there for a minute and told him that. He ended up giving me his sharpie instead of mine but in my mind I was like “Okay, that’s fine.” (I only knew it was his sharpie because mine had the precision tip on the other end). 

I got back to the line still on a high of meeting them because I didn’t expect to meet them. While waiting in line, there was a Mario Kart tournament going on and luckily, someone let me play with them on their switch. It was so much fun interacting with people from the community.

Once I was in the ballroom for the panel, there were tables and everyone was just confused (later on we found out it was because people were lazy to move them). So the panel went on and it was just really cool to see them up close. It was like, damn I’m really here.

Anyways, before the panel started, I finally met Emily aka @rooster-geek and ended up going with her and her group to dinner at P.F. Changs. 

So, while we were in the elevator at the Marriott, and Barbara was in the elevator with us. I did not notice her at first until someone said “Hi Barbara.” So after trying not to freak out, we got out of the elevator and took pictures with Barbara. (Sidenote, majority of the pictures I got were pretty much polaroids). After Barbara, I spotted Arryn Zech, so I walked up to her and got a picture with her. She also said that my name was really pretty. 

Then after dinner, I ended up going to Ihop to meet up with RJ, Mandy, Destiny, and the rest of that group to eat more. We then went back to their hotel and played more games.

Day 2

So day 2 I spent the beginning of it on the exhibit floor. I put on my genderbent Felix cosplay and was amazed when someone asked me to take a picture with them. I saw Meg at her booth, but that line was capped, and soon enough, Jon was at the Maltesers booth. 

When I got up to him for a polaroid, he mistook me for Locus at first then corrected himself and was like “Nope, you’re Felix. Felix is orange and Locus is green. I watch our content.” So after I got my picture with him, I hauled ass to the Hilton and made it to the Writer’s Block panel line. Thankfully, people didn’t care and let me sit with the RTRI group. We ended up playing Red Flags RT edition as we waited. 

After the panel, I met Lynn and felt bad because I knew they were in a hurry and knew I couldn’t get my polaroid out in time. I took a selfie with him on my phone. While some people went to the Over the Rainbow panel, I walked to floor with Em were we met up with Emily for a little bit. On our way to the exhibit floor, Em and I ran into Stan. I got a polaroid of me and him and just one of him to give to my sister. (He was cool with it and was like “Does your sister like Jimmy Johns? I’m going to pose with this Jimmy Johns bag.”). I left Em for a little bit to see how bad the line was for the AH escape room (it was a three hour wait so I decided not to do it), and on my way I met Trevor Collins! He is so sweet, and his girlfriend, Emily, has the prettiest blue eyes and is so sweet. I ran back down to Em who was waiting in front of Griffin’s booth and she mentioned how Cole was at the Mega 64 booth and didn’t want to interrupt. 

So I pretty much interrupted Cole’s conversation for her so we both could get pictures with Cole (and he was in cosplay that day so that was cool). After that, I changed the film and ran into Lynn again, so I got an actual polaroid with him. He signed on the actual part of the developing picture instead of the bottom of it, and he ended up replying “Well, I’m in too deep now.” and finished signing. I then ran into Aaron Marquis and told him that story after I got a picture with him, and he laughed and said, “That idiot Lynn.”

I walked around the con floor a bit more and met Wes from Smosh Games. He’s such a sweetheart and it was amazing talking to him. I then ran back to my hotel room with my friend and hung out with him while I got ready for Mario Party Saturday. 

I wore my Harley Quinn inspired outfit (which was also red to rep the People’s Champ!). As I was waiting in line, I got another polaroid with Game Attack and Chad James as well as getting a polaroid with Sam Mitchell.

I got to meet so many G1s and made more friends in line (and played a long game of Uno). I was also the shortest on in that group, so that was fun. Mario Party Saturday was so fucking amazing though, and that felt like a thing better experienced rather than just telling someone about it, especially with everything that went down. (I will say that I showed my sister pictures of Shaun from that night and she said that he looked like the Chippendales version of Mario). 

After watching them play Mario Party, I went out and met up with a friend. Instead of going to the rave, he was like “You need to eat” and I was like “You right.” So we went to Ihop. (This was also someone I was starting to like because of the conversations I’ve had with him, but he’s going into the navy in like 5 days, so...). 

Anyways, he showed me some drawings and I let him read something I wrote for my creative writing class. It was nice to have someone genuinely like something you wrote. After everything, he paid for dinner and I took him to this really pretty place outside of the convention center. He took some model like polaroids of me, and I used my last piece of film for the day on him. (Thinking about it now, I should have kept it, but I let him take it.)

He walked me back to the hotel, and he hung out for a little bit. He left before my brother came back though.

Day 3

So I ended up finding one of the G1s on twitter (his name is Rusty), and pretty much hung out with him that day. So we walked the convention floor, attempted to get Voodoo doughnuts (the line was too long and I had my Trevor and Matt signing in an hour and a half or so). I ran into Wes from Smosh Games again coming back from Voodoo doughnuts. Rusty and I ended up going to the Starbucks in the Hilton where I ran into Adam Ellis. I was like “shit, I still need to get him to sign my polaroid” and Rusty pretty much stopped Adam to get him to sign it. Then, we were waiting in line and I was like “Oh shit, I should probably head to my signing so I’m not dead last,” and Rusty said, “I’ll just bring your Starbucks to you.”

So, I hauled ass to get to my signing, but stopped as soon as I saw Samantha Ireland. Me and this one guy both had polaroids and Samantha asked both of us if she could keep one. We both said yes and she had us sign on it (or well put our social media on it). This guy was from Singapore and I was like “That’s really cool.” and we talked while I walked to my signing. I got into the room for my signing before Rusty could bring me my Starbucks. Luckily, he was allowed to give my Starbucks to a guardian who gave it to me. 

In line, I ended up dropping my polaroid (and I didn’t find out until later but I put the batteries in the wrong way.) I was talking to this guy named Devon and he was cool. Anyways, I got to the signing with Trevor and Matt, and when I got up to them, I gave Trevor the polaroid I took with him the day before and told Matt I have to take a polaroid with him. While attempting to take the polaroid, Matt said he liked my cape and put the hood on me. 

After a minute of trying to take the polaroid, I deemed it broken and asked Matt if he wanted to just sign the actual camera instead. He said that he didn’t want to ruin it. This then turned it into Matt trying to fix it. (And my favorite picture came out of it.)

Anyways, they fixed the camera and I got my polaroid with Matt. 

After that, I don’t remember what I went to my hotel room for, but I left. On my way there, I ran into Larry (who my sister likes to refer to as the MVP) and took a polaroid with him. I went and dropped off something at my hotel room and went back to the convention center. While I walked into the convention center, I saw Caleb and Jordan and asked them if I could take a picture. (Caleb called Jordan an idiot for not knowing how to use the polaroid camera). Immediately after them, I saw Matt Peake, and took a picture with him too. 

I was about to head to the exhibit floor, but Rusty just got out of his panel. I waited for him and we ended up getting food. While on our way to the Game Attack line, I saw James (aka theodd1sout). I was like “I’ll meet you there, I gotta take a picture with him first. So I waited in line and got to meet James. I took a polaroid with him, and asked him if he could say hi to my little sister (she freaked out when she saw the video). 

After that, I was headed to the Game Attack panel when I ran into Gray. I got a polaroid with him and started smiling really widely because animation!

So then in line for Game Attack, I pretty much played Mario Kart with people until it was time to get seated. I was close by the front. 

The panel was amazing because they honestly didn’t expect that many people to come for them. (They were like “Our plan was to take you guys all down to the arcade because we expected like 25 to come to this panel.”) It was pretty much just Q&A at one point with random conversation (I think that’s the best way to describe it). Also, Sam came onto the panel at one point. 

After the panel, I saw Shaun first, so I got my third polaroid with him. I also gave him memes my sister wanted me to give them (and ended up giving them the folder I took them in...I don’t know why but I did). Sam walked up to see what it was, and I got them both to sign the copies of them for my sister. I then got my second polaroid with Sam before heading over to Craig. I got my third polaroid with Craig and got him to sign the memes for my sister. (He wrote Craig plays for Craig on both of them). Anyways, while my friend was talking with him about events they’re planning on doing, Craig stopped the conversation just to take a picture of my Game Attack henna tattoo. That was pretty cool.

The guardians soon kicked us out and I made my way back to the hotel. I spent a good few hours debating whether or not I was going to get a tattoo (the cost is what got me not to get one), and by the time I decided I needed to eat, I ran into my friend Cain (who was staying the night with me) and he came with me to get Voodoo doughnuts. 

Overall, I had so much fun and got to meet so many people even though I really didn’t have a set group of people to hang out with. I also feel like I left some things out, so this might be edited later.
