To anyone thinking or saying Dillon Goo is unworthy of acquiring RWBY, not because of anything realistic like finances or the size of his studio, but because he's "just an animator", or just a rando from the internet who cannot write or run RWBY:

Thanks for perpetuating the piece of shit mindset that every soul-sucking corporation and braindead consumer has: that animators have no value or are just there to push buttons and make pixels move for the real creatives.

Animators are artists and creators. They have to work with numerous departments to make things work: They have to know what the writer/director wants, and tell them if it's even possible to put to screen; they have to work with artists and character designers to tell if they can commit that art into moving parts. And for an animated show, they're kind of... I dunno, the entire backbone of its production.

Anyone stupid enough to claim that, by their logic, should claim that Miles and Kerry were "just writers" and don't have the right nor the intelligence to have any opinions on RWBY's animation, character designs or music. That's how I know you have zero fucking idea how any actual media is produced, because in your head, these positions all just exist as separate little boxes in your brain so it's simple enough for you to grasp.

It was "just an animator" who made RWBY in the first place, dumbass. A "rando" making animations on the internet that Rooster Teeth took a chance on, and now he's responsible for their best-selling IP. By comparison, Dillon is starting at a way better starting position than Monty was, with a successful YouTube channel, public support from multiple current and ex-CRWBY like J Grelle (Tyrian's VA), Kim Newman (former animator who animated Sun's gunchucks in V5) and Jessica Nigri (Cinder's VA), and multiple collaborations with big companies like Hoyoverse.

If anything, I'd expect an animator like Dillon to know and care enough about his staff to not give them near-irreparable spinal damage. Gee, I wonder why Newman would think he'd be a better employer to work with? Dillon would know how an animation project is run and budgeted. Him being an animator is a benefit, for god's sake.

Monty had character design sketches but needed help from professional artists to fully design them. He knew bits of the plot but needed help fleshing it out. Do you have enough brain cells to rub together to know that's precisely what Dillon can do, too? Fuckin', I dunno, hire people? For his studio??

I'd rather have an animator run RWBY because RWBY is an animated series and he would know precisely 1) what complements the medium best and 2) the precise limits of what can or cannot work within his budget. By your ass-backwards logic, I would rather get EC Myers to run RWBY's production over Dillon just because he's a writer and has been employed with RT longer.

That's another moronic argument: "He's only been employed by RT for 1 Volume". Man, I don't care if he's been there for zero Volumes, his work clearly shows a greater understanding of RWBY's aesthetic, mainstream appeal and style than its own showrunners have for the past 7 years. Or is seniority in a defunct company responsible for a steadily unprofitable IP suddenly a positive in this business deal?

I need you to be aware that RWBY as an IP is a joke outside of the bubble of its fandom, and I am telling you bluntly as a fan. Nobody takes it seriously and the ones that do only praise it for either its action choreography or its character designs, one of which is guaranteed with Dillon's studio. Diehard fans may love RWBY, warts and all, but all that love and support clearly wasn't enough to keep it alive, because its reputation was already cemented from its own mismanagement.

What you do is you get the right person for the job. And Dillon ticks a lot of boxes for it. If you think he's unable to acquire RWBY because he's not a big corpo or cannot meet Warner's asking price, that's 100% fair. If you think he's unable to create something on the scale of Volume 9, that's also 100% fair, but only if you're attached to the idea that you'd rather have Volume 10 or more of the same RWBY that was operating at a loss than any RWBY at all. Or if you'd rather see a season of 14 episodes 15 minutes long where 60-70% of it is made up of exposition, talking head scenes and increasingly overambitious world expanding, over shorter episodes with amazing RWBY action sequences with a story that never bites off more than it can chew.

But if you think Dillon is unqualified or worse, unworthy or undeserving (what a weirdo thing to say about a person, like owning RWBY is like inheriting the fucking throne of Gondor), all because he's "just an animator" or because he was smart enough to see RT for the meat-grinder hellhole it was and left to find success on his own, you're full of shit.

And if you disapprove of him because of his association with Shane, go find a restroom because your unsightly hateboner is showing. It's been almost ten years since the letter and you all have been holding this unfettered rage clenched between your buttcheeks longer than Shane's ever been with Rooster Teeth.

And for what? Pointing out Rooster Teeth is a fucked place to work at? Whoops, that was true and now it's six feet under for every scandal and worker abuse case they brought on themselves. For stealing and cannibalising their creators' IPs? Whoops, that's fucking true as well.

[dragynkeep]

I really miss Poser era RWBY. Not only did the models actually have textures and better anatomy/proportions, but that era of RWBY has a more unique art direction to it compared to the Maya era. Poser era was jank for sure but there was a very strong emphasis on minimalist color palettes and direction. The Red trailer is so iconic partially cause the direction/composition used the minimalistic color palette to its advantage. Ruby and her saturated red cape always stood out against the neutral white and black environments.

Maya era RWBY??? It looks like any other 3DCG anime out there except really cheap and ugly looking. Nothing about Maya era RWBY stands a chance against the sleek and sexy aesthetic with strong color direction of Poser era RWBY

it's crazy how most of maya can look cheaper than poser when poser was legitimately made with like 2 pretzels & a piece of string? like yeah, the backgrounds can be gorgeous in maya but it doesn't mean a lick of shit if the models of the girls themselves look like stop motion barbie dolls!

it's no surprise that dc twitter has been ripping apart the new crossover movie when the animation department of dc movies is it's golden goose, the crown jewel in a mess of live action disasters & the morons of rooster teeth decided to fuck that up with their plasticine disasters. imagine what we could've had if the girls & world had been animated in the dcau's style 😔

I'll bite, how?

Both RWBY stans and RWDE consistently miscast and misrepresent the style and aesthetics of the characters they obsess over in almost identical ways. Ask me how.

RWBY stans want everything as qu**r as possible to prop up RWBY as a progressive show, and can therefore commonly be found painting Yang as some kind of butch lesbian dream with abs and muscles galore, despite the fact that Yang is about as butch as I am (hint: not at all).

RWDE types, on the other hand, want to misremember older RWBY as more inherently qu**r (I'm using that word to satisfy y'all, not me) so that they can decry what Rooster Teeth ruined and took from them, despite the fact that there's more than enough reasons to hate Rooster Teeth without making shit up. Couldn't find it again (not that I care about anyone who catches strays, y'all know me, I'll vibe check my best friends), but I've seen people refer to Ruby as butch and Blake as gnc. Not new Blake--old Blake, with the cleaver sword.

What part of this is gender-nonconforming to you? Is it the bow? The high heels? The thigh-high stockings? The exposed midriff? There is not a single member of RWBY who is butch or gender nonconforming. And you know why?

Cause that wasn't in vogue. That hadn't taken off yet. What was in vogue at the time was feminist fantasy. Girl power. Girly girls glittering and high heel-ing their way through battle. And that's why the members of Team RWBY look the way they do--feminine. Ruby's goth feminine. Yang's aggressively feminine. Weiss is princess feminine. Yang dresses for the male gaze, skirts are everywhere, and even Blake, an anti-establishment rebel who sleeps in tents, looks suitably dark feminine.

Here's the thing: that's not a bad thing. For what it was at the time, RWBY as the girl power fantasy that was every bit as actionized and violent as the male version tends to be was incredibly attractive as a concept. Hell, it still is.

Yang doesn't have abs, she never has, she never will, and that's okay. It doesn't take away from her. Her lack of abs isn't a problem on its own, it's not a flaw. There's no reason she should or shouldn't, they're not a required feature for someone at her tier of 'anime'. It becomes a problem when you consider the idea she won't ever have them because Miles personally wouldn't find it attractive, but that's still another story than what Yang actually was concepted as and made it into Poser as.

I once saw someone refer to Adam Taurus' (who definitely suffered under RT) original design as 'the most bisexual-looking character in the show' and gurl, that was a man in a suit, slacks, and loafers--calm down. It was far and away less lgbt-looking than the Grimmjow model he was actually sculpted from. Same energy as when I see kpop fans referring to a man's look as "cunty" and it's just a dude in a tank top.

Sometimes this happens with race, too. I see people claiming RT whitewashed the fuck out of Sun Wukong when the switch to Maya came, and then in the two screenshots provided he looks exactly the same.

RWBY as characters lost a lot when Rooster Teeth started changing their appearances, but qu**rness wasn't one of them, because the truth is that RWBY has just never been a very qu**r show. It was barely feminist in 2013, and even in its glory days, it was still pretty straight and cis and within cultural trends. It doesn't make sense to turn classic RWBY into something it wasn't just to exhaustively mourn what you were robbed of, especially when in truth quite a lot of these people weren't around then to get robbed in the first place.

So awhile back I had this idea on the backburner of doing a camp camp timeskip (5 years in the future in a timeline where david & gwen adopt max, 5yl for short), originally I intended to create an askblog but as of right now I don't have the time or energy to maintain something like that, so instead I'm simply going to be sharing pieces of this story at my own pace. I started with Max because he's my favorite and I had the most ideas with which direction to pull his character - David & Gwen will come next. Realistically not every character from the show cast is involved in the mains' lives anymore so not everybody will get a design, but the main five all will.

VV Details abt 5yl max beneath the cut VV

So I see a lot of people give Max something of a goth/punk aesthetic with things like chokers and excess piercings, and while I can certainly see why that happens, I personally could never picture him going that route. I think it's possibly because he reminds me a lot of my brothers all of whom tend to have a more hipster or casual aesthetic (for a long time I gave Max a beanie and I still think he'd wear one).

Along with that though, Max just never struck me as the type to overly commit to an aesthetic - he'd care abt how he looks ofc but I definitely think he'd prioritize comfort over appearance. I also hc Max with some sensory issues so things like facial piercings or choker collars would probably be irritating to him (this is me projecting my own sensory issues lol. punks you're so cool but I could never.)

So I mostly kept his aesthetic the same and focused on adding more interest to the design - as this was intended to be an ask blog I added details people would want to ask about.

The glasses are another thing that came from one of my brothers - I've never seen anyone give Max glasses (in general unless they're a nerd people just don't think to add stuff like glasses I think), and now I really like them. He gets them when he's around 14 and I haven't yet decided what visual impairment he has. I'm thinking maybe farsighted?

The long hair was something I chose on a picrew on a whim and immediately loved. I came up with this cute story plot where Max has always wanted long hair, but could never properly get it to grow out because he was never taught how to take care of his hair. He also hated going to salons bc they didn't know how to treat his hair. Then Gwen starts giving him tips and offers to do his hair for him - an offer he's extremely apprehensive about bc his experience with people doing his hair has never been good, but she does really well. She explains that she was just taught by people in her family who knew how to deal with different hair types.

Admittedly too the long hair was a decision I stuck with bc I loathe the idea that transmascs can't have or want long hair (and yes, Max is transmasc in 5yl. David is too). At this point I've created so much hair lore I could write an essay on that alone.

As for the bear pin and the bear skull on his shirt, I wanted to give Max a hyperfixation of some kind, and I just went with bears (Ik lots of children have teddy bears and it doesn't mean they particularly love bears but it's what I had to work with lol). It's the one nature thing David managed to make him genuinely like. Funnily enough I followed a few bear-themed accounts so I could write someone w a bear hyperfixation accurately, and in doing so gave myself a bear hyperfixation for awhile.

Some other details abt 5yl Max are that he loves guns and has studied them and really wants to learn to shoot, he's properly taken up knitting and he once punched somebody for calling David an ableist slur <3

(there's a lot I've put into this but it's hard to find the words to explain when it doesn't come up naturally, so I'll share plenty more abt this au when I'm ready.)

I haven't listened to many podcasts but this seems fun.

Malevolent

Welcome to Night Vale

I think Martin would get along with Carlos and Oskar. They all seem chill, at least at first.

So many people would hate Jon! Like it's fun to picture him meeting Cecil and Arthur, because eye motif but he can be such a prick. And Cecil would just call him rude to his face and Arthur might even fight him, given his feelings on cults and monsters. Still love him though.

Early first season of TMA I couldn't tell Elias and Tim's voice apart for some reason. Got easier as time went on though.

Malevolent. Arthur literally whimpers and does the whole ragged breathing so often.

The Magnus Archives, probably. I was on pain meds when I first started listening to it and I sometimes think I didn't totally absorb all of it.

In full? None. But I have relistened to certain episodes for all I've listed.

Probably Malevolent. I really like Lovecraftian horror and the fandom seems so nice.

Draw, play games, scroll tumblr, live blog, look up words the podcast men say because I've never even kinda heard them before. Really whatever my ADHD so desires.

So, so many! Like, are you asking who I love most? Because I'm not totally sure. Maybe Michael or Nikola or Martin? Hard to pick between the three. One's a big, fucked up guy and one's a fucked up clown and one just desperately needs a hug.

Kevin. He hurt the weird floating kitty!

Nikola Orsinov/Fun House by Pink, for admitted obvious reasons.

TMA. But to be fair, I'm working on a fic for that one.

Rooster Teeth Podcast, mostly due to the hindsight that so many of the people on the show were just really bad to their staff.

Canon couple? Cecil and Carlos, they're actually healthy together which I can't say for most of the others. Non-canon? Arthur and John all the way! Those two are disasters and I love that for them.

Gerry Keay! Man had the punk/goth aesthetic of my dreams! I want what that man had.

Podcast themed ask game cause I’m bored!

[dragynkeep]

we're not repeating ourselves on this. if coco stans want to desperately convince themselves that there's more to this character than the canon characterization of her being an ugly racist who insults people & leers at women, all while her name & entire aesthetic down to the weapon is based on a nazi pardoned for her warcrimes due to antisemitism ingrained in society, enjoy your delusions.

we've given the evidence, shown proof of coco chanel & coco's design & rooster teeth's previous acts of violent antisemitism. i'm not wasting the rest of my night arguing with nazi meatriders because the nazi happens to be a racist dyke when i could be writing porn. it's getting deleted, yell your apologism to the wind goyim ✨

[saltwukong]

I'm gonna be real with y'all, after I got past the brainmelting factor of seeing the old RWBY looks up against the new RWBY looks so the latter could tell the older models that they so totally aren't shoddily written and are exactly who they need to be (yeah yeah whatever Miles), it kinda hurt just looking at them side by side.

It didn't really hit the way it was supposed to because it was the Maya models with the late RWBY colors and hues in the early RWBY outfits. But then again I suppose seeing the old Yang next to the new Yang would've just fucked too much. She'd have eaten new Yang alive.

But still. Just seeing the old aesthetics, the old looks, before hair looked like playdough, before zippers were everywhere and before Rooster Teeth was so afraid of blacks they wouldn't even let Blake wear them anymore.

[matt0044]

The thing about them is how we viewed them as “not like other companies” who were corporate to an utter fault and impersonal. They were able to skirt by until their lies piled up enough to crash through the floor.

The fact is that they knew this and used this “grassroots” aesthetic to sidestep potentially problematic aspects.

It is deeply ironic though. Many accused Rooster Teeth of become “Woke�� or becoming too soft after building their brand on frat boy “It’s just a joke” humor. Now…

Time is a closed circle.

[funhausplease-blog]

It’s not dumb, it’s space. The final frontier. 

Space Kid aesthetic because I had this idea like 4 days ago and it wouldn’t leave me alone. Maybe I’ll make more idek.
