#gen lock

[youngbunny]

As someone who grew up on Rooster Teeth, who consumed so much of their content during my formative years, today's news hits a little harder. I'm so upset for the people who lost their jobs and livelihoods due to this huge downsizing on WB part (not to mention the fact most of them found out through a twitter post!) - it pains me to hear that some of their projects will never get a real conclusion or that the hard work they have been putting in for years might be forgotten.

I'm holding out hope that there will be some sort of archival process or maybe the RT website will remain live so that people can watch what is there (maybe no longer behind a paywall?).

That being said, RT was never a perfect company and to pretend that it was is doing a disservice to everyone who has been hurt by the decisions of their coworkers, the treatment of BIPOC by the audience, and toxic work environment that surrounded their productions. We should not use this time to discredit those experiences, but remain aware that these situations can coexist simultaneously.

For the cast/crew/production teams that have led these projects, I am hopeful that this will not be the last time we see them apart of content. I know most people are concerned about the state of RWBY, RVB, Gen: Lock, etc, and I do think these IP's will be picked up. If we're lucky, they will be along with the teams responsible for them in the first place. But I urge you to not use this time to talk about these shows, but instead send some comfort to those who are now out of a job.

Apparently today is the day MLP: Friendship is Magic premiered 14 years ago

Now I never watched the show before I ended up sitting down with my little cousin and doing so, but it's wild to me the longevity of the show, it transcended eras

When MLP: FIM premiered its contemporaries were Star Wars The Clone Wars, Young Justice, Transformers Prime, Regular Show, Adventure Time, Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, Avengers Eearth's Mightiest Heroes, Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated, Phineas and Ferb, Batman the Brave and the Bold, etc

And when it ended, it's contemporaries were Amphibia, Gen: Lock, Harley Quinn, Infinity Train, Rick and Morty, Rise of the TMNT, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Star Wars Resistance, Transformers Cyberverse, Ducktales (2017), RWBY, Ninjago, The Amazing World of Gumball, Ben 10 (2016), etc

Not only that, but it also outlived a number of shows that released after it premiered, like Steven Universe, Ben 10 Omniverse, Voltron Legendary Defender, Gravity Falls, TMNT (2012), The Legend of Korra, Transformers Robots in Disguise (2015), Star Wars Rebels, etc some of which being successors/sequels to shows it was originally airing alongside (Star Wars The Clone Wars-Star Wars Rebels, Transformers Prime-Transformers RID2015, Ben 10 Ultimate Alien-Ben 10 Omniverse)

Nomad of Nowhere is Rooster Teeth's underrated gem of a show that deserved more attention but suffered from poor management and terrible marketing.

I feel bad for all the Genloss fans who are getting into Vinny content now after seeing him in EP2 and just having no idea what the fuck is going on, but at the same time welcome to the hellhole.

Like imagine these people who have NEVER watched a Vinny stream going “oh hey Vinny Vinesauce seems funny, lemme look him up” and they’re just instantly blasted with 13+ years on inside jokes and memes. Because need i remind you that Vinny has been streaming since 2010.

So they do the next logical thing and go to his next stream, that next stream just so happens to be a few hours after EP3 finishes, and they open the stream and just see the dummy used for Vinnys corpse chilling with reoccurring Vinesauce character Gnorts the Alien while Vinny narrates over commercials from the 90s.

Just imagine for a second being someone whos never watched Vinny before, and the first stream you catch is the corpse you just watched get crushed by an anvil chilling next to an alien wearing a jersey all while Vinny just watches old commercials.

Anyways, welcome to the Vinesauce hellhole, newcomers. Enjoy your stay <3

P.S. don’t get used to Vin showing his face, he shows it for like 5 streams a year max

Rooster Teeth really fell off lately so I’m not surprised

No. 1 on my list of top animated series for 2023: "RWBY"

It was hard to choose which series would be number on on this list. This anime-inspired science fantasy action-adventure series joins the next six series on this list, with a total score of five in animation, voice acting, music, and story. Although I may have been too generous with those ratings, the ninth volume/season of RWBY really blew me away, more than any other series. It remains more captivating than previous volumes. It has mature themes such as death, suicide, blood, torture, animal death, and physical (and emotional) abuse. Those themes are not treated lightly, and shown with care, as opposed to gen:LOCK.

This series centers on four protagonists (Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long) who are training to be warriors. The ninth volume has a classic conflict between good vs. evil, intricate storytelling, horror elements, character development, and strong visuals. The protagonists are stranded in the Ever After, a magical land. Even so, they still have their superpowers-of-sorts. The magic and sci-fi elements are often emphasized. Representation is stronger than ever. There have been LGBTQ+ characters before Volume 9, but the scene between Blake and Yang is a stand-out for 2023. Both realize their feelings for each other and kiss. Even so, Volume 9 could have been longer. RWBY should have more Black and Brown characters in the cast, at the very minimum.

Some predicted Warner Bros. Discovery's bankruptcy, due to the corporate mismanagement resulting from CEO David Zaslav's actions since May 2021. This includes a HBO Max content purge (with some titles turned into tax write-offs), removal of many Warner Bros' animated programs from streaming platforms, and cuts to Turner Classic Movies. Bankruptcy could put Rooster Teeth's RWBY into peril, unless Crunchyroll buys Rooster Teeth. Regardless of Rooster Teeth's documented internal problems, such as sexual harassment, bad work conditions, and discrimination, a buyout is possible considering the existing Crunchyroll-Rooster Teeth relationship . After all, the film Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen, released in two parts in April 2023 and October 2023, has been well-received.

Despite everything, Gen loves the simplicity of being yours. He doesn't need to think twice. In fact, he'd rather be mauled to pieces by a Kaiju than do anything but be yours.

Soshiro wanted so badly to ignore your knocking at the door. Really. But then he opens the notification at the top of his screen and— fuck. He's never gotten out of bed so fast.

—✯ WHY'D YOU ONLY CALL ME WHEN YOU'RE HIGH?

Tobio's never satisfied, even when he wins. Not until you're the one telling him what a good job he did.

GEN V (2023-) 1x04 “The Whole Truth”

[ryescapades]

CONTENTS. fluff, <800 wc, sleepy cat!bf core, various characters

NOTE. opened t1ktok and a bunch of cat videos appeared on my fyp

it’s quiet, and it’s cold.

quietly stumbling around in the room, you try your hardest to make sense of your surroundings as you squint your eyes in the dark. the sun is not even out and yet you’re already getting ready to head out, cursing yourself for the nth time for being such a dedicated working member of the society.

you’re slipping on a new pair of socks when a rustling sound followed by a low, groggy voice greet your ears.

“where are you going?”

you turn towards the bed, smiling when you see your boyfriend craning his neck a bit to look at you. he’s laying on his side, glimpses of a bare chest peeking from the blankets he had pulled up in the middle of the night.

“i have work, baby,” you murmur, hushed and soft as to not disturb the peaceful atmosphere in the room.

he frowns and huffs a little, and your heart squeezes slightly at the sight. you approach the bed, your hand reaching to tenderly sift your fingers through his hair, the gesture slowly but surely lulling him back to dreamland. “go back to sleep. i’ll be back before you know it,” you promise.

“fine…” comes a sleepy and grumpy reply, and you would’ve left it at that if not for the moment when he does it.

that eye contact before the slow, single blink as if to say ‘i love you.’

it’s what he always does whenever you leave in the early mornings without him, something you’d started to notice recently.

the smile on your face grows wider by the second as you trail the back of your knuckle down the slope of his nose, featherlike and intimate. “and i love you, baby. so much,” you coo, heart soaring with all the affection and ardour you hold for him.

you watch as he falls back asleep, a war waging in your head whether to go about your day or call in sick just to spend time with him in bed. there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for your beloved, after all.

he’s the love of your life, so it’s only right that you treat him like such.
