A Girl Named Tex
Okay, so I finally got around to marathoning Red vs. Blue. Season 6 came out earlier this year. It's not normally the kind of thing I'd watch, but I heard that they were doing something more plot-heavy that had a lot of potential and I gave the first episode a shot. Also, my brother basically begged me and said that there's a dark, abusive soldier woman in it.
It's really funny stuff, honestly. Super clever, great comedy, gets super wacky by the end of the Blood Gulch Chronicles. Season 6 tones down the wackiness and especially has a ton of potential, and I can't wait to see where it goes. This AI stuff is genuinely interesting, the Meta seems like a cool villain, and Agent Washington is a serious breath of fresh air, you know?
I think I actually liked it. I really wanna see where the story of Project Freelancer and the Alpha AI goes.
But fuck Tucker. Seriously, fuck Tucker. Church is right to hate him.
I didn't know Halo had a story.
EDIT: What do you mean there's a Halo book???? I'm not reading a whole-ass book????
"Fall of Reach"?????
Sounds super fucking gay.
OOC: Red vs. Blue ended recently, and I finally got around to seeing the final season. There was stuff in it that I thought could have been done better, and stuff that I thought were pitch-perfect ways to end the series.
Red vs. Blue is probably the biggest single inspiration for my writing. From my fanfic to my serials to my novels, I've learned so much about writing both comedy and drama from that show, and it's given me so much inspiration. As a kid, characters like Agent Texas and Agent Carolina gave me words to describe the kind of butch femininity and personal strength that I often wanted to emulate.
RVB has had a long history, from the hilarious Blood Gulch seasons to the near-perfect Seasons 6-10 and onward to the creative Chorus seasons.
I would not be a writer without RVB. I wouldn't have my novel manuscripts I've written, or my serials, or even a lot of my fanfic.
It's probably worth saying that Rooster Teeth, the company that made the show, had a long and at times unethical history. I have a lot of respect for people like Burnie Burns or Miles Luna as artists, but I try not to think about what they oversaw at times.
Still, show's over, everyone can go home. It's insane to think about, especially since for a while RVB seemed like an infinite institution: as long as it made money, they were going to keep making it.
Well, now there's no money, and they stopped.
It feels like the end of an era for me. I wouldn't be the person I am without this show.
So, here's a tribute, I guess. Now back to your Class of '09 regularly scheduled programming.
#red vs blue#you ever wonder why we're here#red vs blue reconstruction#red vs blue restoration#ari class of 09#rp ask blog#class of 09#class of 09 ari#co09 ari#co09#class of 09 game#co09 rp accounts#class of '09

Book 2 Snippet - Extended
I posted some of this on Instagram recently, but I really like this conversation and thought I'd post a bit more of it here. The format is less limiting when it doesn't have to be a bloody photo. I hope you enjoy!
“So, what’s wrong?” Martin asked, opening the conversation. “Why am I here, Martin?” “I mean, why are any of us here? It’s one of life’s great mysteries.” “No, you twit, I mean here in an office. I shouldn’t be chief of anything.” “Return question: why do we do this every other Monday morning? You’ve been saying that shit for months now, and yet you continue to get your job done well. Can you not just accept that, even though this is a wildly different environment than the old lock and key, you actually belong here?” “Evidently not.” “Look, maybe we’ll talk to Julia. If the setting is the problem, we could probably have you work from the depot most of the time. But as the chief of security, you will have to be in and out of office settings.” “Oh, so it’s ‘The Depot’ now? Honestly, you could have just said ‘work from home,’ you know.” “Cappuccinos for Martin!” the barista announced. The men collected their coffees and found a bench very near the door to the terrace that used to belong to Purple Cube, Ltd. “If it helps, you can do what I do,” Martin continued. “Focus on the tasks. Either you can do them or you can’t. Do you think I ever thought I’d be a chief technology officer? Titles are bollocks anyway. It’s just a job to do.” “I enjoy working with the trainees. Degenerates, the lot of them. My sort of blokes.” “See? Just focus on that!” “That helps for now, but just in case, same time two Mondays from now?” “Always,” Martin replied, and clinked his coffee cup with Duncan’s.

currently captive audience to a knock down drag out fight in my brain between desire to respect the wishes of the creator and not look for anyone redistributing the comic and god i fucking miss wonderlab i miss wonderlab so much you have no idea i want wonderlab back so bad
#project moon#wonderlab#seriously wonderlab was so fucking good that like#the entire time pre-limbus release every time we got news i would get so excited for a potential followup on wonderlab's ending#and the idea of seeing characters like taii#with amazing designs from a comic that already had some absolutely stunning imagery#drawn in a style like the absolutely fucking beautiful painterly style of ruina's character art and cgs#getting to see more of taii and the other survivors of the branch and seeing where their lives would go after that ending#seeing how the loss of so many important people would affect them and how they'd struggle in the aftermath of l corp's collapse#we already had ONE distortion in the ending of wonderlab with catt and that happened BASICALLY MOMENTS AFTER LOBCORP'S ENDING#can you IMAGINE how cool it'd be to see all of these characters#who already have experience with combat and ego and weird anomalous monsters via their work in the branch#react to and potentially figure out and adapt to the distortion phenomenon?#LITERALLY THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF LIMBUS IS GOING INTO FORMER L CORP BRANCHES#THAT'S THE SELLING POINT OF THE GAME! THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE! OF COURSE I WOULD GET EXCITED ABOUT MORE WONDERLAB STUFF!#BUT NOW WE'LL NEVER GET THAT#WE'LL NEVER SEE TAII AGAIN IN OFFICIAL MEDIA#WE'RE JUST LEFT WITH THE MEMORY OF THAT FINAL PANEL AND TAII GAZING OVER THIS STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL SURREAL LANDSCAPE#WITH PROMISES OF A JOURNEY WE'RE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO SEE#FUCK I MISS WONDERLAB#wonderlab was so fucking good that it accidentally became the cornerstone of my entire perspective on project moon's works as a whole#and now that it's gone i can't go back to lobcorp or ruina without feeling its absence like a gaping void in my chest#the only thing left in its place being the knowledge of the shitshow that was the drama surrounding project moon for a while#and the thought that maybe in a different world we would've gotten to see more#FUCK man#no joke i literally made myself cry typing this whole rant out#suddenly learning that wonderlab had been taken down was a fucking wound i have never recovered from#and i've never been able to look at ruina or limbus with the same sense of awe and wonder and curiosity ever since#just the bitter knowledge that yet another formerly beloved story and world has fallen into corporate nightmares and gacha cash grabs#i haven't been able to keep up with project moon much at all since. i don't know if anything else has happened.

Red vs blue nostalgia
I consider it a tragedy I only started watching red vs blue after I found out Rooster Teeth was shutting down. I have been finding the episodes on youtube and have compiled a playlist of the entirety of red vs blue, complete with intros, even if some of the seasons have the intros built in. I can't find season 6's intro, and I haven't gotten the intros beyond that. I am currently at season 5 in watching them.
My gift to you all:
I was born in the golden age of gaming, the problem is, I wasn't old enough to experience it. I grew up playing halo, but none of the online stuff that people get nostalgic about. I would love to find a group of people to get online and go through the old maps with, but that will have to be a later event.
Red vs Blue is a master piece. I never watched it at it's peak, but somehow it's still nostalgic and screams "2000's". I first found out about it from seeing a meme of Sarge saying "we've been tricked. We've been backstabbed. And we've been quite possibly bamboozled." I recognized the armor as being from halo and frantically searched for the origin of that saying. I think I did find that it came from red vs blue, but I didn't watch it at that time. And then I saw it again later on prime (don't know how long it was there), but never got to asking my mom if I could watch it. She would never had said yes... The number of inappropriate jokes, references, and comments...
Them: "When you first saw halo red vs blue, were you blinded by it's majesty?" Me: "Blinded? I was in tears at its beauty."
The theme song is perfection. The voices were instantly iconic, and became even more iconic when I found out it was because the actors had to phone in their lines and they decided to keep that tinny/muffled effect instead of rerecording them. That's how you make something memorable. And it all started with a group of friends, an awesome videogame, and a simple yet deep question: "You ever wonder why we're here?"
#halo#red vs blue#rvb#church#tucker#caboose#sarge#simmons#grif#donut#tex#shiela#blood gulch#nostalgia#you ever wonder why we're here?

#it's an old frustration. an old pattern of thought.#i just feel that i have a brain that doesn't hold information. that lacks the discipline to gain knowledge. that is incapable of deeper#thought. and i cant teel you how maddening that is. to sit in a room and listen to other people discuss a paper you read in depth 5 times#like it's the 1st time you ever heard anything about it. how is that possible? how do i work with that? i read and nothing sticks.#nothing stays with me. how??? i was talking to a prof recently who ive heard is hard on her students with disability accommodation. and she#was saying how she doesnt see these things as a disability. how we're just different not disabled. ive heard the phrase differently abled#a lot of times. and i get what she's saying. i do. ad i get why she's hard on them. she wants to push them. but there comes a point where#you are quote unquote differently abled and you run into a wall that other people dont have. then what are you supposed to do? work harder?#but what if that doesn't help? what if that just compounds the hurt that's always been there? what if that leaches away all the wonder? what#then? at what point does a thing become too much of a barrier? i think there's a reason i dont run into many other dyslexic grad student.#everyone has adhd. it's a place where those with adhd prosper. but dyslexia not so much. at least not with the level of hanicap i have#and everyone's really nice. they want to help. but there's nothing anyone can do for me at this stage. it's up to me to compensate for my#leaky head. and i kno im not stupid. ive got a piece of paper stating my iq is above average after correcting for uneven intelligence. but#i dont feel very smart most of the time. i feel more like my uncorrected iq score that comes out at just below average even with me trying#my very best. iq is bullshit but there's something to be said for that gap. im smart if unconstrained by language and time. but were bound#by language and we're bound by time so what am i supposed to do? is there anything i can do? im stuck with this forever. theres no getting#better or making it easier. my brain is wired in a way that gives me the reading skills of a child. forever. and i just have to accept that#and im trying to swallow around that idea easier because the only other option is to choke on it. but maybe i chose the wrong career path.#one of my lab mates said she wants challenges all the time and ive chosen a path that's challenges all the time but im jsut trying to do#what everyone else can without a second thought. it's deeply demoralizing. yet here i am. trying to be easier abt it.#maybe im just nit cut out for this. doing a job im not built for.#unrelated

I wonder how many tags i can add on to this
#there must be SOME kind of a limit otherwise posts would get suuuuuuper duper long like is it just 30?#idk but i'm going to find out by simply maxxing out the character limit for each tag and finding out the limit of tags for each post lololo#this is gonna be great. i just have to remember to type without ever using the comma. it shouldn't be too hard right? fuck i almost typed#the comma i'm already bad at this smh my head. also if your still here i commend you. you have a better attention span than i do.#i'm already starting to get bored holy shit this is not happening. i gotta power through this. FOR SCIENCEEEEEEEEEE. or somethinggggggggggg#but fr idk what else to say. maybe just saying that i don't know what to say will be good enough? but does that even count?#I don't even know anymore. ffffffffuck. this is gonna be a while huh? also holy shit if you're still here omg u deserve like. a prize or#something because u definitely didn't have to stay and read all of this bull shit. lololol i typed out bs but decided to just spell the who#thing out just to make it go by faster. i'm so lazy. this is only the nineth tag HOW will i make it to 30. i am sobbing the adhd is adhding#very hard rn. are you still here? bruh this is insane. i have somehow managed to keep ur attention this long and it's just me spouting#absolute balderdash. wait do you know what balderdash even means? i don't care if you do already i'm gonna tell you anyway. balderdash is#basically just another word for nonsense. boom. you learned something new today. balderdash equals nonsense equals this damn post.#why did i decide to do this in the first place. it was a dumb idea. i don't know if i can even keep going. this is only the *counts tags*#it's the 14th tag. we've got a long way to go boys. men. soldiers. comrads. friends. besties peeps. marshmallows.#where was i going with this? oh yeah. trying to max out the limit for tags. dang i almost typed a comma there. i haven't done that since#i think the third or fourth tag. dang that feels like such a long time ago. not for you guys probably. it feels longer because i have to li#type it all out and stuff. so it's definitely gonna feel longer for me. are you still here? good lord don't you have better things to#be doing than reading all of this? we're already on tag number 18. it feels like i should be on the thirtyeth by now. or however it's spell#'toast' you might be wondering 'why are you typing out the names of the numbers instead of say '9' or '5'?' well you see. young one.#this is a strategy i'm using to make each tag slightly longer. even if i don't know how to spell it. it'll make it just a little bit longer#anyway. i got off topic. not that there was ever a topic to begin with. unless it's about making this as long as i can.#which i am apparently good at doing. i guess. are you STILL here? do you seriously have nothing to do? i guess i'm flattered you stayed thi#whole time. instead of reading something else you stayed here. with me. listening to me talk. on the twenty-third tag. oh yeah its tag 23#except now it's tag twenty-four. how crazy is that. this little talk is almost over. only 6 tags away if memory serves right. this's strang#i kind of don't want this to end. but i know it should. after all there is a limit. but all things must come to and end at some point i gue#i'm running out of things to say. it's probably a good thing it's almost over. hahahahah............... but i don't want to go. i don't wan#to leave this post. i've worked so hard on it. and for what. just for it to end. are you still here? yes? good. i'd hate to end this alone.#thank you for indulging me and my craziness. the end is only 2 tags away now. you can go ahead and leave. i'll be okay on my own. really...#...you're still here? i- i don't know what to say. i suppose a toast is in order. perhaps. for this journey. this stupid dumb post i though#would be fun. i'll make it short. it's the last tag after all. this was fun. but i will never do it again. so long as a i live. i'll miss y

on one hand it sucks cause it sucks to see her like this and for her to have to go through it in general and also its literally so much cancer and like at least???? at LEAST 2 different types???? so they don't know what to do about it and any further treatment would literally just be Seeing What Happens. and it sucks for this to be like. it. and to have to remember This after
but on the other it's also. like. all of this happening has kinda crystallized more in my mind that i don't have a hell of a lot of nice things to say about my mom in the end. which feels awful. but also at the same time i can't really like.. tolerate. giving credit to someone who Loves me who like.. saw it as an obligation? and would and probably will right now if given the opportunity hold it over my head? the fact that she raised me and all. i brought you into this world ill take you out etc. i don't know how you can say that shit to a kid ever and think you're right. i just can't. for all that she's always said she loves me she sure. doesn't act like it much. i don't think keeping all my baby blankets and my kindergarten schoolwork counts for much when your actual emotional support of me has never been great and is half of why im Like This. like it doesn't really feel like she's ever made much of an effort to understand me. lord knows I'll never understand her at this point aside from just. kinda always been too self centered for parenting i think. my mother has never been particularly selfless.
all of this feels horrendous to say out loud in any regard
#crow.txt#like idk it could be my specific grief but its. just kinda amplified in my brain the bad things far more than the good#which isnt to say theres No good. idk id argue theres probably logically More good. but the bad is pretty bad#it could be worse. but it was also still bad. neither of my parents shouldve ever had children. full stop#i should not be here. i should not have had to grow up like this. neither of you were prepared or emotionally stable enough for kids#i really should be trying to sleep. idk if i can work tomorrow#like idk pardon my autism but i dont feel many strong familial bonds. i dont think i ever really have. its always been a big thing for mom#not me so much. wonder why that might be Anwyay#just because we're family absolutely does not mean i should just let you treat me however#and i wont in fact#all of this feels like a very long very draining awful dream. its so surreal. it happened so fast#ive honestly not cried over it as much as i feel like i should have bc it kinda just felt inevitable#this has been an anxiety rumination point for years#she was taking it a lot better than i expected for a while but the nastiness and loudness and just like. cruelty. kinda knew that was comin#just surprised its taken this long

sorry this came to me like a vision in that I could not ignore the thought but garden of eden era aziraphale and crowley are soo "you ever wonder why we're here?" coded
#if you put those two images side by side I'd tell you they're the same#“well that went down like a led balloon.” “sorry what was that?” “I said 'well that went down like a led balloon.'”#“you ever wonder why we're here?” “it's one of life's greatest mysteries isn't it? (...)" “what? I mean why are we out here in this canyon?#I know I already did go!thiam but now I'm absolutely foaming at the mouth for a go!grimmons au#come ON#the vibes are just soo. mm#I mean not at all but also at the same time it's. it's not leaving my brain anytime soon#it's been a good few years since I sat down and watched rvb so idk whose who but I also do not care#if someone has already had this thought you should tell me please#good omens#rvb
