in his defense that is probably one of the highest compliments he can give

[harbingersecho]

you're very efficient at administrating pain... but pain is something I've learned to live with.

Last year around the end of July to the beginning of August I went through the RWBY volume 8 credits because of stuff I was told at the time to see how many people in the crwby were still with the company. I did that and it was very time consuming, and I said that I would never do that again. Fast forward to last week when V10 didn't get greenlit while RvB and Camp Camp got renewed and I got curious. I decided to do what I did last year again and went over the V9 credits. This is what I found. I will get into specifics after presenting the numbers. The names I counted are the beginning section from supervising director to post production producer, then the entire crwby section that comes after the voice cast section.

Total number of employees- 190

Confirmed gone but could not find specific date- 2

Left in 2020- 4

Left in 2021- 26

Left in 2022- 77

Left in 2023- 24

Total confirmed gone- 133

Those I could not confirm if they still work there/Rt work done under general freelance- 10

Those still at RT- 47

Depending on whether or not you want to count the 10 I can't confirm still work there, then anywhere from 24-30% or 1/4-1/3 of the people who worked on v9 still work there. Before we get into specifics, I want to mention that I was just as shocked about the 2022 number as you probably are to the point that I thought I messed up and after going over everyone I did it again and specifically marked the employees that left in 2022 and got the same number.

Here are some specifics from job titles from the V9 EP10 credits-Of four episode directors only one is left. Of two head of studios, one is gone. The environment, vehicle and prop designers are gone save for two I can't confirm still work there due to their rt work being in their general freelance. The 2d concept artists along with additional help are gone. The storyboard artists are gone save for one I can't confirm works there due to rt work being in their general freelance. From lead modeler to environmental modelers, all except one character modeler are gone. From pre-visualization artists to camera and layout artists they are all gone. of seven visual post artists, one is left. From the FX Technical director to the visual post intern, they are all gone. From lead rigging artist to jr. rigging artist, they are all gone. From animation director to lead animators, they are all gone. Of nine senior animators only one remains. from technical animators to animation intern, they are all gone. From mo-cap co-director to mo-cap artists all but one are gone.

This is telling me that animation has been gutted. I'm assuming those left are working on Deathbattle, Camp Camp, and RvB. I'm also going to assume that as time goes on the number of those still there is going to decrease as several of those who are still around have open to work on their profiles which means either supplemental income or they know their contracts aren't getting renewed and are preparing.

i had a dream once that discord servers became a limited resource. no new discord servers could be created; they just capped it at the amount that were already out there. this led to people selling off old and underused discord servers to new people who would take the spaces and repurpose them for their new communities.

anyway, in this dream, my friendcord that i share with one other person called "funny funky time" which we just have so we can use bots, got purchased/claimed by the red versus blue fandom, a community i know absolutely nothing about. i think the subtext was that my friend had sold the server to them without asking me; it wasn't, like, a hacking or a hostile takeover.

the rvb people were... nice? chill? they didn't kick me out, and they weren't rude to me. i was still panicking, though, because i had said some really personal things in that server, and i was torn between "i don't want this deleted; i care about preserving it" and "i don't want hundreds of people to read this," and meanwhile people from the fandom are just POURING into the server and there's nothing i can do

the situation was unresolved when i woke up but just the premise in and of itself is hilarious to me. no more discord servers everybody. there's enough

rvb restoration was like avengers endgame if it had been the final marvel movie and cap holding the hammer was a pivotal moment for his character arc and everyone knew beyond all doubt or confusion who it was flying to the moment it passed thor

Anyway, Caboose's line "My brain is fuzzy and I still do good" after they find out about Wash's brain damage breaks my fucking heart

HEY ROOSTER TEETH? WHAT DID I FUCKING SAY ABOUT SPLITTING UP FOUND FAMILY?

Finally caught up on Red vs Blue(season 16) and I am so emotional. I remember when i started season one and didn’t think i would finish that or even care but here i am about 2 years later and i am crying over these characters. This series has done an amazing job of creating characters we joke about all the time but at the same time we love, or at least i do. I can’t wait for what Season 17 brings and hope to see more Wash and maybe even the other freelancers(please I want Maine back he is so important to me).
