All the former RvB fans coming together for the final season after 8 years

#rvb #rvb18 #red vs blue #rooster teeth #this fandom and show were a huge part of my formative years #I didn’t realize how many people I followed were through rvb lol #but we’re all coming out of hiding #rooster teeth is dead and it’s time we bury our beloved rvb

The funniest contrast I can make with jason's rvb18 and gomens s2 being tropey fanfic (w/r/t to ships & gays) is the show's audience. Like of COURSE Neil Gaiman made a/c canon fanfic style. Who else is he writing it for but the tumblr girlies? Look up the good omens subreddit and its a desert in there. Meanwhile rvb was made for the reddit bros before reddit even existed. Imagine if rvb18 not only made grimmons canon but queer'd basically all of red team a la the average fangirl's ao3 account. People on the other side of the internet fences would have been SO mad. Blood on the streets. It would have been the funniest shit in the WORLD.

#and then a year or so later the people crying about how rt's downfall has been bc they went 'woke' would get to feel vindicated. #but i wouldnt give a shit! because i got canon grimmons!! #rvb blogging #mincedthoughts #i dont know if this post even makes sense. im too hopped up on the thought of canon grimmons.

They gave Sirus more character development in 3 episodes of a filler season than they gave to the main character of rvb zero in all 8 episodes that they made.

This time around can we please agree to tag our RvB:0 hate as “#rvb negative” or something other than the main tags please?

Not everyone wants to see negativity when they search the tags, even if it IS the popular opinion.

#rvb #red vs blue #rvb0 #rvb18 #rvb:0 #signed someone who's very tired and just wants everyone to respect tag ettiquette #i dont even like zero that much but good god the negativity from last season almost made me leave the fandom #and i know i'm not the only one who felt that way #just focus on the seasons you DO like and pretend the show ended after s13 if you have to #and don't watch it if you think it'll make you unhappy

Okay, I’m sorry, I just cannot keep letting this information get spread around uncritically.

To say that no one on the Zero team has watched the show is a lie.

Not only are there multiple thematic and direct callbacks in the new season itself that indicate familiarity, ranging from tiny little scenes like Phase holding her gun to Wash’s head and Carolina coming up behind her (mimicking a scene in Season 12 almost directly), to the thematic connections between Carolina and One, to the Great Key plot itself, to the ever present theme of two teams fighting each other when nothing is really as it seems... hell, even the vomit in the helmet joke. That was a direct a callback as you can get.

But Torrian has also on multiple occasions talked about wanting to animate for RvB and has talked in at least his interview with SyFy about being inspired by previous seasons of RvB. Beneath the cut are several images that show this! 

[Image Descrption: A tweet from Torrian saying ‘Always wanted to work on RvB and even-though I’m the only animator, these lovey peeps helped make it happen!’ with an image beneath it of the credits for the Death Battle episode of season 14.]

[Image Description: A tweet from Torrian saying ‘I’ve always wanted to animate Carolina’, quote tweeted in response to Jen Brown, Carolina’s VA, announcing Carolina’s inclusion in the season.]

[Image Description: A quote from an interview by Torrian with Syfy. “Initially, I was inspired by some of the previous seasons that took a more action focus or included more action elements, I think around season 8, 9 and 10, when they involved a class of characters call the Freelancers [The Project Freelancer Saga], which was when they included the legendary animation director Monty Oum,” Crawford told SYFY WIRE. “I was really inspired by that sequence of events that happened within the RvB lore.” The quote continues, but this is the relevant piece of information for this post.]

If we want to get real picky, there’s even this simple little tweet:

[Image Description: A tweet from Torrian from 2013 saying ‘Ahh my robot arm! lol #RvB’]

Which he’d honestly have literally no reason to post if he hadn’t seen the damn episode that quote is from. Like, come on.

I don’t know where people got the idea that Torrian and his team have never ever seen the show before. I know that Fiona said she hasn’t and has no interest in watching previous seasons, but Fiona is not a writer. I’ve never seen a direct quote, I’ve never seen any evidence of the claim that no one else on the team is a fan of the show. I’ve only seen unsubstantiated rumours being spread around based on an interview most people haven’t seen, and that no one has ever provided quotes for so that people don’t have to dig through a long podcast episode themselves. 

It may be true that they’ve joked about old seasons, or made jokes that didn’t land. But many of the more negative claims have come from people who then do not back up their information and let their claims get spread around without any basis. Including a fairly public incident where someone lied about Fiona’s words and painted them in the worst light possible!

Torrian, at the very least, has clearly watched the show before. I can’t speak for the others as easily and I don’t feel that I need to. To say that the team has never watched the show before is false. To keep spreading that idea is disinformation that has been used to deliberately stir up negative attention towards the zero team.

People’s varying opinions on the season notwithstanding, the least we can do as a fandom is not spread deliberately misleading information that then makes it around to people not even watching the show and who won’t seek out if the information is true on their own.

[lavernius]

i've been on an rvb hiatus bc of the recent rh news but i just want to throw this out there:

please show torrian and the s18 cast love when the season drops tomorrow.

they, especially torrian, have been working so hard and have been dealing with so much to get this content to you.

torrian has gotten so much criticism and hate over his decisions with rvb: zero. he's also been working on writing, directing, animating, casting and possibly even recasting these roles, the release date for the show has been pushed back so the 18 crew could get everything right for us.

this is rvb's first black director, he's already worked to give us so much more good rep than 17 years of rvb has given us. he's also gotten an unprecedented amount of shit despite everything. please PLEASE show him lots of love.

#rvb #red vs blue #rvb: zero #rvb18 #will tolerate no hate for torrian or any of the cast esp the cast of color this season #lt logs
