thinking about red vs blue is crazy because it's like:
this is a story about how you can't keep chasing ghosts forever. there's alien/human mpreg.
holding onto the past is holding you back - you have to learn to let go and say goodbye. ed robertson from the barenaked ladies plays a guy who (jokingly?) tells his soldiers that if he weren't their CO he'd make them call him daddy.
family isn't always defined by appearances and you may find it in those you least expect. the aliens speak entirely in blargs and honks.
everything we do is driven by love - love for your current companions and loves that have been lost along the way. it has one of the most intense and longest running queer-baits i've ever personally witnessed.
veterans aren't given the proper support to be able to return to a civilian life, and this systemic issue causes problems for everyone in all levels of society. there's a homophobic bomb.
you can't change what's happened to you and the ones you love; you just have to find a way to keep moving forward. one of the main characters only speaks in poorly translated spanish.
everyone has the capacity to change and be better. it has two (completely unrelated) insanely complicated time travel plots, and they’re both only dubiously canon.
it's an incredible piece of media and proof that you can create something magical with the limited tools available to you. there are chunks of it that are borderline unwatchable.
it's changed the way I approach storytelling forever. i can't easily recommend it to pretty much anyone.

RED VS BLUE EXISTED BEFORE YOUTUBE AND STREAMING SERVICES AND I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTANDING OR REMEMBERING HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS
The Rooster Teeth Website is going to go down in a few hours and we need to remember what they DID.
Red vs Blue proved, before anyone else, that a company could thrive entirely off an online only series. Think about how long it took for the rest of the internet and the world to catch up to what Rooster Teeth did? How long it took before youtubers were able to make a living off of their work, how long it took before youtube could solve that issue? How long it took before streaming services became what they became?
It's a part of the company's history that's only ever rarely brought up and I really wish would be discussed more because Red vs Blue, and its creators had a genuine impact on our culture and as much as Frieren has taught me to understand that everyone will be forgotten eventually, that doesn't meant I won't try to make sure that for now... we fucking remember what Red vs Blue meant for creators.

starting a crackship right now. i think these two would be absolutely horrendous together and would create the most magnificent discourse. we love a fujo/incel pairing, yes? 😂💖

It’s extremely funny to me that rvb canon makes it extremely clear that Church is tall, especially given that the way the characters look is usually completely glossed over and also Church is basically Burnie’s self-insert. Tex describes him as tall. In the video of Allison the camera man is holding the camera slightly above Lindsay Hick’s head so we know the director is taller than her. The director leans over to meet Washington’s (wearing power armour) height and is also noticeably taller than Price. And for what.

god, tex saying "they made me from their memories, and in their memories i kick their ass" fucking. holy shit. i could write a 2000 word essay about that right there by itself.
because that was what always felt so off about tex being a failure, because up until a certain point she really wasn't, no more than the reds and blues were. but she was still better than them!!!
and that's why the "meta" is destroyed, because they remembered her as that. not as a failure, but as a fucking badass.
