Achievement Hunter is changing and we're taking you with us

As you may have noticed, Achievement Hunter has gone through a number of changes this year. We’ve grown a bit smaller as our cast has moved on to work on exciting new ventures, including Inside Gaming and VTubing. Today, we are pleased to announce the launch of Dogbark, a new content group featuring Michael Jones, Alfredo Diaz, Trevor Collins, and Joe Lee. 

Rooster Teeth is at its best when employees have been given the opportunity to pursue new creative passions. Fifteen years ago, this meant giving Geoff the ability to create Achievement Hunter. And today, this means letting the Achievement Hunter cast move on to new creative projects.

Over the last few years, this has allowed our cast to put time into creating F**kface, ANMA, Red Web, Face Jam, and more. More recently, Jack and BK have put their efforts into streaming at Inside Gaming, Lindsay has begun exploring Vtubing as Ruby, and Ky is producing multiple projects, including some of those listed above.

With all of our new focuses, this means we will not be actively creating content for the Achievement Hunter channel. Let’s Play will also look a little bit different moving forward, but we can assure you that it’s not going anywhere, and it’s in great hands.

But why Dogbark, and not just new shows under the Achievement Hunter banner? At this point in our creative careers, we have grown as both people and as entertainers. Much like how early Achievement Hunter evolved from video game guides to Let’s Plays, we’re looking to take Dogbark in a bold new direction that is more heavily focused on improv and sketch comedy. It’s new. It’s fun. It’s weird. And it’s such a departure from what Achievement Hunter has been that we feel Dogbark is truly its own thing.

We’re very excited to share these projects with all of you, and we really do hope you’ll enjoy all the new content we have in store. Through the years, we’ve reached heights we never thought possible–from Haunter to the Hardcore series, from RTX Panels to AH Live Tours. Whether you joined us back in 2008 or 2023, we couldn’t have done this without you. We have been met with so much support as we’ve grown and changed over the years, and we can’t thank you enough for that.

We know this news might be shocking and saddening for you. It’s bittersweet. On one hand, we’re saying “See you later” to a truly indescribable brand. On the other, we’re getting to pursue new passions, explore, test ourselves as creators, and that’s an incredibly exciting experience. It’s hard to do the same thing for our whole lives, and we shouldn’t have to. But, just because we’re not a part of AH anymore doesn’t mean that we didn’t appreciate the time spent there, or with you.

It’s okay to be sad; it’s okay to take time to process. After, when you’re ready, come join us over at Inside Gaming, F**kface, RWBY’s Twitch, Dogbark, Red Web, Face Jam, ANMA, and So…Alright. We’ll be waiting for you.

Love, 

-AH

We’ve anticipated your questions and have created an FAQ below that will hopefully provide answers.

Where are [insert the AH person you are looking for] going?

Honestly, nowhere. They’re still here at Rooster Teeth, but are jumping into new exciting opportunities that bring them joy and passion.Geoff and Gavin are focusing on F**kface, Jack and BK are streaming over with Inside Gaming, Lindsay is launching a RWBY Vtubing Twitch, and Ky is producing these projects. Michael, Trevor, Alfredo, and Joe are excited to announce their new project, Dogbark, which launches 10/2.

Does this mean AH content is going away?

Nope. It’ll exist in perpetuity online. Both on Rooster Teeth Site and Apps as well as the AH YouTube channel.

Will AH ever return?

Think of it like your favorite band going on hiatus. We don’t want to close the door completely and turn off all the lights. There’s always the chance that One Direction will come back.

Is Let’s Play content and channel going away?

Also nope! But stay tuned, you might recognize who will start showing up (and reshowing up) there.

Finally decided to be brave and post some work from the WIP of @zombie-eats-world's fic Lost Like a Fox

( if you follow any of my work on @chimeraacademy-comic you know that I tend to finish pages with just background/scene setting before anything else haaaaaa HELP )

I'm gonna rant about this under the cut!

Here be spoilers for Lost Like a Fox! I'm gonna assume you've read the original fic!

Funny story, I've had this fic rotating in my head for almost a year now-- but I only read the rest of the series recently. But.

By then I had already constructed an entire AU of this AU. So. It's different, but not that different and frankly for Lost Like a Fox? The only difference for the audience is going to be Sanji's motivations.

He is A LOT hornier than I think the original authorial intent.

I got the impression in the original that Sanji's trying to arrange a 'meet cute' here in his own messed up way. So I'm taking that and turning it up to 11. Of course, Zoro's . . . Zoroness keep throwing small wrenches into his plans.

His motivations in my comic are similar enough to the original I don't think it matters unless I start doing other stuff with this AU. It's just the mechanics work a little differently.

Which I'm gonna assume that you wanna hear so you've read this far!

Okay so! Dragon is the King of Hell in this one-- Crocodad is still Crocodad, because I genuinely like that premise. And human. I'm still hedging on whether Crocodad raised ASL or not, because I know they're in the AU ( they are who Luffy is taking his weekend trip with instead of Law, like the original )

Why the change?

Because Luffy's dream is to be the King of Hell. Nobody, his entire life, has known wtf this kid is talking about. Ace and Sabo KINDA get it, because they know that Luffy's Different and they keep a pretty good wrap on just HOW different. *insert that gif from the Omen of the nanny in the window*

Anyway, long story short he's gotta defeat the Demonic Warlords to achieve that dream~ In my AU there are no Emperors, which I know sucks, but I'm using this story as practice for 'killing your darlings' and general storycraft. We'll see how far I take it?

Hehehehehhehehehehe

( btw Shanks is a demon hunter I think? )

But like I said, none of this matters for the purposes of this fan comic. It's, other than stuff under the hood, functionally an adaptation of a fanfic that I really, really, really, really, really, enjoyed. So! Um. Yeah. Hi.

[pinkrangersarah]

the fearless 7 as youtubers

i don't know

merlin

mostly magic tricks. he'll start by doing the trick quickly and flawlessly, then he'll go through it again much slower, step by step, like a tutorial.

part time gamer, mostly silly games with his friends. every now and then he'll do a let's play if he feels he can't get away from it. mostly an rpg/jrpg man but will do horror if the viewers demand it enough.

has never finished a horror game.

"a day in the life of" videos. always includes his roommates and snow. always ends chaotically.

arthur

work out stuff. i've never seen those channels, but i know they exist.

you ever see those videos of the guy seeing how many stupid objects (like hangers) it would take to hold him up? that's arthur.

also part time gamer, but less so than merlin. just silly stuff with his friends.

internet food challenges. there is almost nothing he won't put in his mouth. "eat every kind of [insert food]" videos always end in him losing his goddamn mind and whoever he's doing it with (usually jack or merlin) wishing they were literally anywhere else.

jack

this is a man secure enough in his masculinity to wear make up, 100% make up tutorials. has had snow with him a few times.

fashions and hairstyles of the era, both men and women. again, has had snow with him a few times.

piano covers, sometimes sings

hans

baking and cooking channel, like maybe a mixture of rosanna pansino and dylan hollis. maybe a little anne readon in there, too. also has had snow with him!

will test out absurd cooking gadgets. always has one of the guys with him depending on what the gadgets are.

also does food challenges, sometimes with arthur. always says he won't do the spicy ones anymore but he always ends up doing them.

pino, noki, kio

basically just mythbusters. their videos take the longest to make because of what they do, but they're always insane and 97% end with a fire extinguisher.

bonkers rube goldberg machines that often end (purposefully) anticlimactically.

google translate recipe videos, brandon farris style.

all of them

a chaotic mixture of the try guys and the game grumps (mostly the power hour). a little bit of achievement hunter from their golden era.

you know the try guys "without a recipe" series? that but with these idiots. hans and snow are always judges and snow is basically their rosanna pansino. merlin does okay on the savory episodes. jack has lowkey eugene energy. it is a miracle if he and/or arthur present anything edible.

were absolutely viners during the golden era of vine. you remember those vines of a group of boys always doing "the lion sleeps tonight"? that was them.

[once-upon-an-animation]

A rant about Reyna’s love life situation in ToA…

So I just read the Tyrant’s Tomb and uhhh…I see why people have such mixed feelings about what happened with Reyna. Here are my thoughts (w/ spoilers of course).

- First of all, that whole Lester/Reyna pseudo love story thing was so…weird? Like, I understood the point of getting Reyna to reflect on dating, but like, did she really need a bizarre romantic subplot with Lester to achieve that? The whole incident w/ Venus felt like it only existed solely for the sake of this moment with Reyna, seeing as it was first introduced in this same book, and will likely be forgotten about afterwards. As a result, the whole thing seems so random with no buildup whatsoever. I think there are better ways to introduce Reyna’s interest in taking on celibacy and joining the Hunters than this pile of weirdness with Lester/Apollo.

- Second of all, a lot of Reyna’s dialogue concerning her love life sounded like Rick Riordan just inserting himself into the story, and it was extremely cringey. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it was OOC for Reyna to say these things, but the language choices made it clear that RR was just using the character to voice his own thoughts (I literally cringed when he used the word “ship” unironically in her speech to Lester/Apollo near the end of the book. Nobody talks like this.) We have never seen any of the kids at New Rome actually mention Reyna’s love life in any of the books as far as I remember (let me know if I’m wrong). So this problem she has with other people “shipping” her doesn’t seem real in-universe and feels like it’s being brought up to address the fandom specifically and sort of…scold(?) them for shipping Reyna with other characters.

In addition, I don’t like it when authors use their characters as a disguise for their own thoughts. It ruins the integrity of the character and the story. If you have something to say to the fandom, just say it instead of hiding behind your character.

- Third, I find the line where Reyna says “Why do healthy friendships have to progress into romance” (or something like that) in response to Lester/Apollo asking her if she’s dating Thalia to be really hypocritical. Romance is a very major theme in RR’s books and he has a knack for pairing up as many characters as possible, even characters who don’t really need to be a relationship/whose romances could have worked just as well as a friendship. This line Reyna says about not every friendship needing to be a romance could apply to almost every couple in this franchise.

I give Percabeth, Frazel, SilenaxBeckendorf, and EmmiexJo a pass, because romance genuinely complements their stories, but as far as other ships goes, I actually think their romances were unnecessary/poorly executed/could’ve worked just as well as a friendship. ChrisxClarisse definitely didn’t need to be a thing; Clarisse doesn’t even give off romance vibes anyway and Chris stops existing after TLO. Grover and Juniper are cute, but nothing would change if their relationship didn’t exist. Jasper/Jiper might have genuinely been better as friends. Caleo ABSOLUTELY didn’t need to happen; I personally believe romance was NOT the best resolution for Leo’s arc. I give props to Nico and Will for being the first gay ship, but again, RR should not be using romance as a bandaid for emotional conflicts. Nico should learn to maintain healthy friendships first before jumping into romance. TysonxElla did not need to happen for any reason at all. A lot of the hinted pairings in The Hidden Oracle (Miranda & Sherman, Chiara x Damien, Valentina x Paolo) didn’t need to exist either. These are all side characters whose romances have little to no impact, and who would lose nothing if they were all just friends. Same for Lavinia x Poison Oak.

As you can see, RR loves to pair people up together. And most of these pairings are straight/straight-passing. But Reyna maybe liking girls is where he finally draws the line, and decides that romance doesn’t need to happen all the time? Seriously? Like don’t get me wrong, it’s cool to finally have a character in this franchise who chooses to be happily single, and I know that Thalia has not expressed any interest in women (neither has Reyna, tbh), but like…still. RR has been gung-ho about romance everywhere else, even with characters where it literally didn’t matter. Why did he draw the line here?

All of this also makes me wonder if Piper/Shel became a thing just to placate disappointed fans who wanted to see a major character in a wlw relationship. I remember RR’s tweet where he was like “I didn’t want to make Reyna like girls because it would seem like girls only like girls if things don’t work out with boys”. This is a nice sentiment, but it becomes questionable when you realize that what he tried to avoid with Reyna is basically what he did with Piper? And to make matters worse, Shel is such a non-character. She exists for a few pages at the very end of the final series, has no canon personality or physical appearance (as far as I remember), and she’s so unimportant, she doesn’t even have a last name! Her only purpose in the story is to show us that Piper likes girls, which is so lame! Why not give a wlw between two fully fleshed out characters instead of this last-minute romance between a major character and a character who’s just a device?

- Lastly, I’m really tired of RR shoving the female characters that he doesn’t want to pair up into vows of celibacy (Rachel, Thalia, and now Reyna). In fact, this happens with the male characters too, where they are either dating (Percy, Grover, Tyson, Leo, Nico, Will, Frank, Jason) or they’re dead (Luke, Octavian, Jason).

Reyna was so close to being the first major character who didn’t fall into this pattern and then it was ruined. There are many options that people can have for their love lives beyond dating or mandatory celibacy, Richard Riordan, and these options are not that hard to write/explore even in a book aimed at preteens. The characters could easily say that they’re not interested in romance at the moment and may become interested at a later point, that they’re interested but are waiting for a person that they truly want to date, that they’re working on friendships right now, that they’re focused on other things right now, etc. Not everyone needs to be paired up, but not everyone needs to take on a vow of celibacy either. Characters are allowed to just be single, no explanations given. There are so many things Reyna could do besides being a Hunter. She could go to school, travel the world, do something similar to Emmie and Jo where she creates a safe haven for others, maybe even a safe haven for abused girls such as a herself. Becoming a Hunter is not the only option here.

Sorry for the length of this rant, and sorry if this post sounds hyper-critical of Rick. I’m just not impressed with the way Reyna’s love life was handled, and how she explained it using dialogue that was essentially just Rick Riordan talking. Very weird.

[lunatriense]

I need to ask this because this has been bothering me:

Jaune talked about in canon how his family didn’t believe in him to become a huntsman.

However thinking more on this I question jaunes mindset: his family shows in the later volumes that they did care for him and loved him.

I think personally that jaune didn’t take his training seriously and the father stopped training.

How is it you know how to commit forgery and come from a line of heroes and yet have no idea about aura or non existent training?

after all jaune in the early volumes did act like a man child that think the world owns him. He was very self centered that I questioned how he was even likable?

I am trying to understand this guy but god the early volumes make me so angry and disappointed in the guy.

I could totally see that, and I also think he way oversells the 'my family are heroes' thing. My guess is they were soldiers, and he has that every soldier is a hero mindset, because seriously… if they were heroes, why does no one know his name? If there's a family in which multiple generations are heroes — and I'm talking like hugely important achievements, way above and beyond heroes, not 'everyday heroes' (which are great, don't get me wrong, but don't actually lend any weight to his lineage) — people would recognise his name. Not just everyone, but hunter-obsessed people like Ruby most certainly would.

He's exactly what you call him, a self-centred man child with no business being at Beacon who only got to stay and only had the rest of the main cast as his friends because he's Miles' self insert.

Trish Una x OC Post

Trish x Abella Wedding Heacanons 👰👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👰

Here’s a link to my JJBA Masterlist I write a lot of character x reader. I also have Trish x Abella under the Trish x OC category if you’re interested in their story. My OC is a self insert OC so she’s me. I like creating OC content for fun. I enjoy talking about OCs so feel free to tell me about your own OCs if you like.

Trish would be the one to propose with how confident she is. They get married within three years of their committed relationship to each other. Trish truly understood Abella was her soul mate after knowing her for seven years. It was when Abella dedicated a fashion line of clothing to her beloved Trish she knew Abella was her bride to be. The popstar proposed to Abella after a garden date. While they looked over the flowers she got on her knee popping the question to Abella. The ring she offered Abella is a rose gold band with a huge pink heart shaped diamond center outlined in diamonds. Trish would have a ring with similar colors but a big diamond with the band covered in small diamonds. She spent a month figuring out how she wanted to propose and what rings she would want for them.

Trish would be twenty-one by this point and Abella would be twenty-five. They marry in 2008 around spring time.

The two desire a pink rose theme so they’ll book somewhere private with a ballroom and huge pink rose garden. The garden will be where they marry in front of the rose covered gazebo.

Trish would’ve loved Bruno Bucciarati to walk her down the isle but after his passing she grew close friends to her companions she met when she was fifteen. She asks none other than Giorno Giovanna to would walk her down the isle. The don was pleasantly surprised and accepted. He felt honored and was a friend of Abella’s as well, he was happy upon hearing the news of the girl’s marriage.

For Abella her treasure hunting uncle would walk her down the isle as she has no other father figure in her life. Her father died in a tragic accident after she moved away from New York when she was fourteen. Her uncle was someone who inspired her to become a treasure hunter after she established her fashion boutique in France with her best friend, Crisella.

The entire wedding would have a garden theme and the two young women would spend much time together planning. They knew what they desired so no wedding planner was necessary. Their friends in Passione would help them plan. Giorno offered to help cover costs for much of their wedding much to the girl’s surprise. They would thank him countless times and squeeze him into hugs. Much to the surprise of their blonde friend. He isn’t used to hugs but accepted them. He would help them with the flowers too since his stand has no trouble growing them.

There would be no expense too high for Trish’s outfit. She went shopping for a short white bridal dress with all her friends. They would help her pick her outfit for the wedding. It would be Giorno, Mista, Fugo, Polnareff, and many of her friends from her popstar life.

The day before the wedding she gets a manicure with hot pink tips fading to pink. She hires her hairstylist and makeup artist who normally take care of her looks before she goes on stage to perform. They’re eager to help her achieve her look for the wedding. Her hair is styled about the same but styled to be more elegant. Her hair is a bit longer reaching to her shoulders. For makeup she has pink lips with sparkly rose gold eyeshadows and long black flirty lashes. She’ll wear a pair of rosegold pearl earrings to finish off her look.

Her attire consists of a short white bridal dress with puffy off the shoulder sleeves. For her shoes they’re white lace heals with thin white bows at the heal. She’ll wear short white lace gloves and a small head accessory with a small veil shielding her face.

Abella being the fashion designer she is takes it upon herself to design her wedding dress. She’ll spend months sewing together the lace and gown together. Her strapless ball gown will be the wedding dress of her dreams. The gown itself is elegant with a floor length, giving enough room to show off her heals as she walks. She’ll buy a long cathedral wedding veil with lace and white bridal heals with white thin ribbons tied into bows around her ankles. She’ll decide to wear a black tailcoat vest with enough room to show off the front of her dress, making for a heart shaped look at the chest. The black tailcoat will be short with two small buttons in the front. Her wrists will have black suit cuffs and gold teal colored rose cuff links. She’ll wear rose gold hanging earrings with teardrop teal jewels to match the cuff links.

The day of the wedding Bella’s staff and friends will help her get ready at the boutique. Abella owns her own boutique with her business partner and bestie Crisella, so it’s big enough to accommodate all her friends. Since it’s self owned she closed for the day so all her staff could go to her wedding. They help her into her gown and give her a makeover. They like to call it a bridal makeover.

All her friends are good at makeup and hair. Abella has long dark locks of curls that require a lot to maintain. Her curls are waist length. Three of her friends begin to style it since she has so much hair to work with. One friend focuses on her eye makeup going for nude brown colors and shimmering inner corners to bring out Bella’s big brown eyes. Her long lashes are attached with an elegant look to them. Her lip gloss is a natural pink much like her manicured nails one of her staff members took upon themselves to do. Her manicure looked similar to a French tip.

After all is said and done Abella has curls dropping beside her face to shape her face. A big strand of her hair was wrapped around her head while the rest of her curls fell behind her shoulders. Her hairs falls down her back and waist. After she is done getting ready her friends begin to cry and take pictures of her inside her boutique. They all get ready for the wedding since they’re bridesmaids.

Finally at the huge rose garden Bella is walked down the isle first and her uncle has a smile upon his face as he’s walking her down the isle. His gold tooth among the rest of his white teeth shining eagerly as he smiles. His normal black eye patch is switched out with one having a pink rose stitched to his eyepatch. He wears a black suit with the front showing off some of his chest. The leather boots and ponytail finish off his look. He towers over the small bride at 5’11. Her long wedding viel is two tiered so the front covers her torso and face. The gown is big covering the area she walks by.

Her uncle gives her such a proud and loving smile before he kisses her head whispering an, “I love you” and she returns the loving words to her emotional uncle. Her veil is so long Mista and his stands take it upon themselves to fix it prompting Abella to thank them with a kiss to the foreheads. They all give her a thumbs up as they take their seats. Number five is crying and surprisingly the others don’t pick on him for it.

Abella tried keeping it together since she felt so overwhelmingly happy. Her loved ones in the crowd crying as well. Trish’s side is filled with mafioso, her manager, fellow celebrities, famous fashion designers or models she’s met, etc. They’re not emotional like Abella’s side but they do smile upon seeing Trish.

Soon it’s Trish’s turn to walk down the isle. Giorno is beside her wearing a pink suit with golden ladybug button accessories. The undershirt is black with the vest matching his jacket. His outfit is complete with a red tie and white gloves. His hair is down with a pink rose sticking by his ear. He is smiling but his smile doesn’t compare to Trish’s.

The pink haired bride is smiling like never before. It’s such a gaze she only makes while she’s singing on stage. Such a smile will make for a lovely picture as in the near future it will be used on the cover of a magazine when it’s revealed she had married. She kisses Giornos cheek before he gives Abella a kind smile which she returns with a thankful teary eyed expression. He’s happy for his dear friends and thinks it’s nice to witness their beautiful display of love with this marriage. More so when he hears their vows to each other later. He takes a seat between Fugo and Polnareff. His consigliere crying rivers of tears for poor Fugo to deal with. Who wipes off his purple suit with a tired sigh. Polnareff always cries at weddings.

Trish is greeted to Abella who is crying tears of joy. She tells Trish how beautiful she looks. Trish returns the compliment as she lifts her brides veil, gently placing it behind her head. Abella’s teary eyes are filled with love but she’s wiping off her tears. Afterwards the two say their vows and “I do’s” with tears running down their faces. Abella shyly kisses her bride and their picture is taken by their photographer.

They run down the isle together holding hands and looking at each other with love. Abella’s side is cheering while Trish’s side applauds. They’ll be taking pictures at the gazebo with all their friends and family.

Everyone makes it to the ballroom to dance. The brides are greeted by all their loved ones. Their bridesmaids crying and giving the two a big group hug.

Giorno takes it upon himself to steal the first dance by inviting Trish with a gentlemanly bow. She accepts while Abella giggles. Not long after her uncle asks her to dance with him. The two brides end up dancing with everyone.

Abella and Trish attack their dessert table since they’ve been eating so healthy to look good for the wedding. The giant wedding cake had their favorite flavors. Red velvet and extra dark chocolate for Trish who devoured two pieces. Carrot cake for Abella who also had strawberry shortcake from the dessert table. The two had plenty of guests especially Trish since she’s a celebrity. They took plenty of pictures with the wedding cake since it was so incredibly over priced.

At the end of the night they toss their bouquets who ended up being Fugo and Abella’s maid of honor, Crisella. Fugo was pleasantly surprised he caught it. He caught Trish’s bouquet. He was walking by to serve himself strawberry shortcake. Bella’s best friend was screaming as she cheered catching her bouquet.

The blushing brides end up at an expensive hotel Trish booked. For their honeymoon they traveled to Cancun to enjoy three days together. Trish would get many calls from her manager upon the news of her marriage being known as many wanted to contact her about it once she’s back from her honeymoon.

TBB SPOILERS!!!!

I'M TERRIFIED that they've just setup something very sad!!! The following is not for the faint of heart. You must be brave-hearted to read beneath the cut!!! THIS IS YOUR WARNING!!!

TEEEEECCCCHHHHHHH!!!

IS ANYONE ELSE TERRIFIED THAT EPISODE WAS A SETUP FOR TECH'S DEMISE AT THE END OF THE SEASON???!!! IF THEY END HIM I'M GONNA SCREAM, and cry, A LOT!!!! I don’t think Dave understands…. how DARE they threaten to end Tech after just two seasons!!! I NEED him!!! WE need him!!! NONE OF THE CLONES ARE DISPOSABLE TO US!!! ESPECIALLY not the ones that represent us better than most characters ever have!!! ESPECIALLY not the ones that give us hope!!! ESPECIALLY not the ones who ARE the embodiment of the people we search for in the real world EVERY DAY!!!

The Clone War is over… I know, it was just the beginning, I know. But can’t we see ONE SQUADRON, one FAMILY survive the war and give us hope for the real world? And don’t try to quote “this squadron existed before [insert clone name here] and it will exist after” because it’s NOT THE SAME!!! It’s not even the same without Crosshair!!! We’re still waiting for him to come home. The death of any of them should NEVER be used as the thing that brings the last one home. Star Wars doesn't HAVE to be 100% tragedy, or even 90% tragedy. Why can't ONE family make it to life's dusk intact and happy??? WHY???

I feel like in the season finale Tech is going to scoop Omega out of the way at the last second. And then get himself caught in her place. And somehow, this Zillow Beast experience is going to have taught him the thing that could save the cloning projects in exactly the way the Empire wants. But he’s going to refuse, and they will prove they dont care who gets in their way when Rampart 2.0, Mr. Mad Scientist, is gonna pull a Rampart-Wilco on Tech, and Crosshair is gonna be forced to watch it and have to bring Tech’s helmet and datapad back to Hunter, who’s gonna be SO MAD at him until Omega points out he kept the data on Tech’s datapad from the Empire and brought it home instead. And that's gonna be the final straw that makes the rest of the Bad Batch into rebels. And then we’re all gonna cry FOREVER……

PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG!!! YOU REALLY WANNA HEAR ME SHRIEK LIKE A HEARTBROKEN BANSHEE THAT CAN NEVER BE HUMAN AGAIN??? BECAUSE THIS IS HOW YOU ACHIEVE THAT, DAVE!!!

[edgiestdude]

So when I heard Roosterteeth shut down, I was debating on whether to make this post or not.

The last post I made was…

Wow, that was a year ago. A year ago I left RWBY because I lost interest in the show after my Weaboo self rose back from the dead. Not only that, but the more I thought about the show, the more I realized

“Wow that show wasn’t as good as people made it out to be.”

Throughout my RWBY fanself, I’ve done a lot of cringe things and decided to leave because: what was the point of sticking around and Criticizing RWDE and other RWBY critics who had some awful takes if I wasn’t interested in the show. (Fun fact, my memes are apparently popular in Facebook?)

It’s why I debated on making this post and decided: might as well. End it fully.

RWBY is a strange show. It’s neither good nor is it bad. It’s more…Mediocre. It’s not bad because the writers tried and did make a few good writing choices at times and didn’t go full on “Power fantasy!!!” (For those who think Jaune is Miles Luna self insert, go watch/read Isekais. Those are a different story). To be frank, as I thought about RWBY and its writing, I realized “RWBY was never as good as people made it out to be.”

RWBY, I feel, was never meant to be a fucking masterpiece like ATLA, Paranoia Agent, or Serial Experiments Lain. RWBYs more like Hellsing. It’s not thought-provoking, it’s more for fun. Now that’s not to say Miles and Kerry made some weird choices, like Faunus Racism and whatever happened in Atlas…

[Quick note if you want to write stuff on this: make sure to do research like reading books, looking at history, and reading up on websites (don’t just use Wikipedia kids). Oh and use appropriate timing and tone, that’s all]

So did Miles and Kerry write weird shit in RWBY? Yes. Should they get criticized. Yes. Were they planning on writing stuff like this on the long run? Maybe but I’m more leaning towards no.

RWBY was more of a show created by anime fans. Monty thought “hey wouldn’t it be cool if four girls fought and did cool things.” And with Miles and Kerry’s help created RWBY. RWBY, from what I saw, was more like a fighting game. “Fighting first, story second”

Now RWBY has been on a weird ride ever since Monty died, but I saw it more as Kerry and Miles carrying Monty’s torch. And that’s why I respected it. It could’ve just ended there, but they kept going. Also it’s worth noting that there was NO story thought of whatsoever, even when Monty was alive. It was more of a friend project that created a fanbase and franchise.

I came back to write this post because it was an interesting series that intrigued me back then. I was shocked that Roosterteeth shut down. The company that created Achievement hunter, Red vs blue, Camp Camp, and among other things.

Was it ever planning on coming? Ehhh…

Sort of. Roosterteeth did a lot of weird things and bad. But, be honest, how many companies do this? EA, Mappa, etc. Roosterteeth I feel had it coming since their founders were leaving left and right leaving very weird leaderships. And Roosterteeth was gonna be no exception to this. It’s why animation companies tend to be a pain in the ass for animators, especially in Japan. The thing about Roosterteeth is that it was more of an indie company, which later got swallowed by Warner, so I feel it was more prone to getting hurt worse. Roosterteeth was a sack of shit, but people tried to create content for people, even if they faced horrible harassment. No matter the issues that Roosterteeth had, may we never forget the memories and legacy they left behind. Every thing has an ugly side, that’s what makes us human. Roosterteeth had an interesting story with ugly and good, but it brought us memories and moments we may never get back. It’s a sad thing. But it’s life.

{Wanted to make a quick note: I read a RWBYcritics comment making fun of Canonseeker punching the air, which is funny because I forgot about Canonseeker a long time ago, so it’s kind of funny he lives rent free on some peoples head, even if he did bad shit back then}

Well, this is where it ends. I made this post to vent out my feelings about the situation and to finally close the book for good. I’ve might made some mistakes or bad calls, so I’d be interested in reading criticism, even if I don’t stick in tumblr for a while. Till then, farewell RWBY fandom and Roosterteeth, thanks for some of the memories.

Fated Foursome

(Kirin=Kirin Hunter, Narga= Nargacuga hunter, Garon= Odogaro hunter.)

On the hunt especially marathon hunts could take days or weeks, and being away for so long can make feelings come forth because this could easily be our last hunt. “So how long has it been kirin?” You ask. "I don't know about a week" replied Kirin. “Hmm alright well it’s getting late let’s set up camp and keep looking tomorrow” you say to the 3 female hunters with you. “I’ll keep first watch” Narga said as you nod and fall asleep.

Few hours pass as you hear a strange noise.

“Narga you there?” You ask as you slowly approached the noise. “Yes right there. Don’t stop” you hear a voice as you approached a bush. Moving the bush aside you see Kirin on top of Narga, “what are they doing?” As you observe closely. “Yes please move your fingers more, yes right there Kirin!” Moaned Narga as you can clerly see Kirin fingering Narga. “Wow” you say as you take out your cock and stroke it to the beautiful sight. At that moment you feel a presence behind you “who’s….” you say as they cover your mouth to keep you quiet. Garon stood behind you still covering your mouth, “I see you’re enjoying the show” Garon said as she grabbed your cock stroking it. “You know they’ve been doing this for the past few days, waiting for you to try something” Garon whispered as she stroked the shaft and massages the tip. “So why don’t we join them?” Garon said as she pushed you through the bush. You fall on your face and the moment you recover you see Kirin and Narga looking at you fully exposed. “Hello Hunter what do you want?” Kirin asked as she kept fingering Narga. Seeing them both like that makes your mind go blank and you can feel your insticts take over. You slowly approached the two as they both spread their legs inviting you to come over. You grab a hold of Kirin’s ass and thrust into her vagina in one go. Kirin yells in pleasure as you pound her wet cunt, “yes fuck me harder! Fuck me till you can’t cum anymore!” She yelled. Hey don’t forget to fuck me" Narga said as she gyrated her hips. You pull out of Kirin hearing a plop from the suction and you thrust into Narga. “Your dick is the best! I’ve been waiting for this for a long time!” Narga yelled as she cums and sprays love juices everywhere. Beginning to lose your humanity to lust you begin fucking both by putting your cock between their wet vaginas and begin thrusting. Both yelling and moaning as you rub their clits with your dick. You give a final thrust and you cover them both with your pent-up cum. Both happy you marked them but it wasn’t over. “Is it my turn?” You hear behind you as turn around and see Garon sticking her ass out towards you. You stumbled your way towards her as you get another hard on. You fall as you lose strength in your legs. Here I got this Garon said as she inserted your dick into her dripping pussy. Garon now ridding you “my god you are so big” she moaned.hey don’t forget about us Kirin said as she sat on your face and Narga began to grope Garon. “No Narga don’t play with my nipples like that,” moaned Garon as you felt her get tighter. You finally get a hold of Narga and inserts your fingers deep inside herand begin to twist and turn. Garon began to bounce up and down more intensely on your cock. You decide to go into demon mode and finish this. You begin to thrust harder and faster into Garon, begin to eat out Kirin like it was your last meal and make Narga squirt non stop. I’m cumming all three female hunters moaned as you covered all three in a sea of white. Now all three of you have achieved a type of synergy that will stay with you forever.

five songs that remind you of your muse.

tagged: @strongfuck (thanks king *insert jack fingerguns*) tagging: @digicloner @envyei @auroradicit (Sabi?) @therelignedstars and you!

Angel- Theory of A Deadman

I'm in love with an angel who's afraid of the light Her halo is broken but there's fight in her eyes Walls are built to keep us safe Until they're crashing down Worlds apart we were the same Until you hit the ground Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm weak Maybe I'm blinded by what I see You wanted a soldier but it wasn't me 'Cause I could never set you free So fly on your own It's time I let you go

Honestly, the whole song is very Jack, but this part especially resonates as him. Jack without a doubt loves Angel, but he also just as obviously hates the siren that she is. He kept her in a bubble to both use her siren abilities to fulfill his goal of eradicating all bandits while also "protecting" her from herself. Jack becomes so wrapped up in his mission that he ends up not only hurting Angel to the point she asks the hunters to do what she does during the story of BL2 (if you know the scene you'll know what I'm talking about), but destroying any possibility of a relationship they might have been able to salvage at one point. Angel was the pinnacle of Jack's life as John, and was still such even as Handsome Jack, but the way he demonstrated was cruel. As much as it may have seemed he didn't love her, his immediate reaction to aforementioned scene (the murder immediately after) as well as how he handles talking about Angel with Rhys in TFBL are significant indicators that he did and does love her, his hate for sirens, bandits, etc. just "blinded [him] by what [he] sees".

Rest In Peace- Dorothy

Blood on my hands, what's done is done Left you by the road with the crows in the dust Heart so hollow deep as a cave One day I'll be dancing on your grave Taking it back the life you stole Every little piece you took of my soul Now I lay you down to sleep And pray with the devil You rest in peace

Truthfully, this bit especially feels like Jack's whole view on his mission. He does genuinely see himself as the hero and will do whatever it takes to achieve it. He'll kill, use, manipulate, destroy anyone and everyone he needs to in order to bring "peace" to Pandora. Jack killed everything that made him John in order to do this, too.

Fabulous- HSM2

I want fabulous, That is my simple request, All things fabulous, Bigger and better and best, I need something inspiring to help me get along, I need a little fabulous is that so wrong?

One of the first things Jack ever talks about is his Diamond Horse, Butt Stallion. This man literally wants fabulous. Tell me I'm wrong.

Victorious- Panic! At The Disco

Double bubble disco queen Headed to the guillotine Skin as cool as Steve McQueen Let me be your killer king It hurts until it stops We will love until it's not I'm a killing spree in white Eyes like broken Christmas lights My touch is black and poisonous And nothing like my punch drunk kiss

Firstly, Jack's always considered himself the winner. There is no doubt in his mind that he'll reign victorious with the vault and his warrior. Everything he does, he does with the certainty of winning. Secondly, parts of the lyrics like "we will love until it's not" are very true to his relationships. When Jack loves, he loves hard. Even when it ends, the only people safe from his wrath are those he'd ever loved to begin with.

Blood in the Cut- K. Flay

Guess I'm contagious, it'd be safest if you ran Fuck, that's what they all just end up doing in the end Take my car and paint it black Take my arm, break it in half Say something, do it soon It's too quiet in this room

This also hits on Jack's love life. We see throughout his canon that the only successful relationship he had was with his first wife. His second wife ran when she found out about Angel. His relationships with Nisha and Moxxi failed, too, and quite seemingly incredibly badly. Jack's life before and after the incident with Angel and the turret was filled with betrayal, abandonment, and loss to the point where he keeps people at bay so they can't hurt him.

Bonus Track: Hate Me-Blue October

Hate me today Hate me tomorrow Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you Hate me in ways Yeah, ways hard to swallow Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

This one is more of a "John" track. He's failed Angel and his late, first wife, he knows this. That's part of what drives him to such an unhinged, mass-murdering, megalomaniac. He's done many unforgiveable things, but, to him, nothing is as unforgiveable as failing the two people who meant the world to him. Because John failed at protecting his loved ones, his psyche began to corrode and Handsome Jack was born.

Believing The Lie

    I follow the tragic war in Ukraine closely and find it interesting that the primary source for raw news is Twitter, and the best analysis occurs on YouTube. These new sources have replaced the old sources, such as newspapers, internet articles, and national television. This new medium allows rapid news spreading and analysis. We can also check out the raw news sources and even directly contact the source—quite a change.

    Recently, a YouTube influencer (I hate that word) discussed a translated Russian state television broadcast. It proclaimed that the restaurants in England were serving rat meat because of the chronic food shortage caused by their Ukraine support. Wow, what a bold lie! But unfortunately, many people truly believed this “trusted” news source.

    What was going on in the viewer’s heads? “Because the news said so, it must be true.” “Makes sense to me.” “Seems logical.” “They have never lied before.” I propose something different is going on. These misguided people allowed themselves to believe the lie. Essentially, the lie is better than the truth. Humans often have ill-advised reactions to unpleasant situations. “I do not need to go on a diet. I look great!” But what does this have to do with writing? I am glad you asked.

    I realized that the newscaster was not lying as I watched this news clip. She was acting. She read a fictional script, and the audience allowed themselves to be taken in. The same activity occurs in a play or a movie. There is no such thing as a Star Wars lightsaber, but we sure liked it when Luke Skywalker started waving one around. So, we (the audience) believed the lie.

    Perhaps when watching a movie, we expect to be entertained; when watching the news, we expect facts. Yet, sometimes we allow ourselves to be taken in. It’s nice to feel good about ourselves; the awful truth is a hard pill. Blissful ignorance. How about our favorite person X? Did you hear X was drunk driving last week? No way, not true. X is a fantastic person!

    Fictional writers use every trick to pull readers into their stories. We twist facts, add intimate relationships where they would never occur, alter physics, spice up the characters, insert an impossible plot twist, entice the reader with a juicy hook, and paint a scene larger than life. “A beautiful, intelligent woman with everything going for her falling in love with an ugly, stupid, fat beast of a man? Of course!”

    Readers and viewers expect a dream world where crazy ideas come true, people commit outrageous acts, and the lowest of the low is commonplace. I suppose that was also the goal of the Russian newscaster. They were achieving the state agenda by any means necessary. However, to the rest of us, the results were absurd. Yet, that technique works every time in a story. Did you see the movie Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure? That silly movie was as believable as that Russian state news broadcaster. Fortunately, I keep my blogs real. Or do I?

Hot Frosty, directed by Jerry Ciccoritti, arrives as a whimsical Christmas fantasy rom-com that promises warmth and wonder but, unfortunately, struggles to keep its magical spark alive. The film follows Kathy (Lacey Chabert), a lonely widow who finds unexpected companionship with Jack (Dustin Milligan), a snowman brought to life through a wish that takes an unusual turn. The concept is intriguing, and there’s a sincere effort to balance humor with heart, but the result feels a bit too forced and ultimately lacks the romantic magic it aspires to achieve. Despite some charming moments and a notable cast, Hot Frosty fails to transcend the novelty of its premise, and it settles for predictability over a more nuanced, meaningful holiday romance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmi794YO-0w Chabert and Milligan try their best: At the heart of Hot Frosty is Kathy’s journey from loneliness to self-discovery, but her connection with Jack — who, once human, retains his snowman-like qualities — feels shallow. Chabert delivers a familiar performance, embodying the warm, slightly hesitant protagonist she often portrays. While her portrayal of Kathy has a relatable vulnerability, the script doesn’t give her character enough depth to evolve beyond a stereotypical holiday-romance lead. Kathy’s isolation and desire for companionship, while easy to empathize with, are conveyed through superficial dialogue, leaving her emotional journey largely unexamined. Dustin Milligan as Jack has the unenviable task of portraying a former snowman with a playful innocence that teeters on the line between endearing and juvenile. Jack’s quirky behavior and limited understanding of human life offer comedic potential, yet the film leans too heavily on slapstick humor and snowman tropes, like Jack’s fear of heat and a surprisingly overplayed obsession with carrot sticks. Milligan tries to make Jack lovable, but the character’s charm feels one-dimensional, as the screenplay limits his role to a series of comedic misunderstandings rather than exploring his emotional side. A lack of chemistry: The lack of palpable chemistry between Chabert and Milligan detracts from the romance at the core of Hot Frosty. Their scenes together are pleasant but feel more like a platonic friendship than a love story, an issue that undermines the film’s central premise. While they share a few humorous and even sweet moments, the romance is stunted by the lack of genuine romantic tension or meaningful dialogue that might convey why Kathy would fall for a man she once sculpted in her backyard. The film benefits somewhat from a quirky supporting cast, although they, too, are limited by the writing. Katy Mixon as Dottie, Kathy’s well-meaning best friend, brings lively energy, providing a humorous counterbalance to Kathy’s loneliness. However, Dottie’s character is written as a clichéd “quirky best friend,” and her role is often reduced to comedic relief without much depth. Her attempts to help Kathy navigate the unusual romance with Jack provide some laughs, yet the character rarely contributes to the emotional arc of the story. Lo Truglio and Robinson are fun together: Joe Lo Truglio’s Deputy Sheriff Schatz and Craig Robinson’s Sheriff Hunter inject some comedic banter as the town’s unlikely law enforcement duo. Their scenes add a bit of levity, particularly as they start to suspect something strange about the man appearing in town. However, their subplot feels detached from the main storyline, and their bumbling antics, while amusing, do little to advance the plot or flesh out the romance. Their presence feels like an afterthought, inserted more to fill runtime than to meaningfully contribute to Kathy’s journey or the film’s overarching themes. Lack of magic: One of the film’s major weaknesses is its handling of the magical premise. The film’s setup — a widow discovering unexpected companionship with a snowman brought to life — offers ample opportunity for emotional depth and exploration of themes like grief, loneliness, and second chances. However, Hot Frosty skims over these elements, focusing instead on light-hearted comedy and surface-level romance. The magic that brings Jack to life is vaguely explained, and there’s little exploration of the rules or limits of his existence, leading to a lack of stakes or urgency. Without clear boundaries, the fantasy element feels arbitrary and fails to deepen the story. Weak pacing and visuals: Moreover, the film’s pacing is uneven. The initial scenes setting up Kathy’s loneliness and Jack’s transformation are rushed, leaving little time for viewers to connect with Kathy’s sense of isolation before Jack enters the picture. Later, the story drags as it relies on repetitive gags and predictable misunderstandings that don’t add much to the characters’ arcs. The lack of meaningful plot development makes the film feel meandering and dilutes the emotional payoff that a holiday romance typically aims to deliver. For a Christmas fantasy film, Hot Frosty is visually underwhelming. The small-town setting, though charmingly decorated with holiday lights and seasonal décor, lacks the enchanting quality often seen in holiday films. The cinematography feels flat, with few scenes capturing the wintry magic that one might expect in a Christmas movie centered around a living snowman. The film could have benefited from more imaginative visual storytelling, particularly in scenes that explore Jack’s snowman traits or Kathy’s journey of rediscovery. Special effects: Additionally, the film’s special effects — used sparingly to emphasize Jack’s snowman qualities — are inconsistent. Moments meant to highlight Jack’s icy nature, like his struggle to stay cool indoors, rely on low-budget effects that detract from the immersion rather than enhance it. The production design, while serviceable, lacks the festive flair that might have made the film visually memorable. A few heartfelt moments: Despite its flaws, Hot Frosty does manage to deliver a few heartfelt moments, particularly as Kathy begins to accept the idea of opening her heart again. The message of finding love in unexpected places resonates on a basic level, and the film’s feel-good intentions are clear. However, the screenplay’s insistence on playing it safe and predictable limits the impact of these moments. The story wraps up with a predictable, overly sweet conclusion that, while in keeping with holiday romance conventions, feels undeserved due to the lack of genuine character development. Overall: In the end, Hot Frosty is a holiday film with a promising premise that lacks the emotional depth and narrative cohesion to fulfill its potential. While Lacey Chabert and Dustin Milligan try to make the best of the material, their lack of chemistry and the film’s reluctance to dive into meaningful themes result in a viewing experience that feels hollow rather than heartwarming. Fans of lighthearted holiday romances may find some enjoyment in its quirky humor, but for those seeking a memorable Christmas romance with emotional depth, Hot Frosty will likely leave them out in the cold.
