I couldn't exactly get what I wanted for Halloween done, sooo you're getting some OC stuff.

Her name is Salomé, and she's been 11 for twelve thousand years.

Happy Halloween.

So... this was... wallop. Yet not entirely unexpected.

I think... some of the writing was on the wall. Even if he didn't get all trigger-happy, between RTX staff getting laid off among other cuts, a lot of mismanaged management persisting and RWBY being the one thing that was consistently keeping the lights on, this felt... disappointingly inevitable.

Make no mistake, dear ol' Davey-boy took the shot... but Rooster Teeth sadly made themselves too easy of a target. If not him, somebody else.

Also make no mistake, that this unwarned closure announcement wasn't disclosed to those still working. Another example of how the top brass never concern themselves with the "cog" of the machine as it were.

Heck, I ponder if Red Vs. Blue's final season was green-lit when they saw the signs. Might as well end things with how it all began. I hope Camp Camp has a good season finale around here to go out on.

Internet entertainment companies are often easy to get more tangibly mad at since a parasocial relationship is far more engendered compared to something too big to so much as approach like Disney.

It's also more easy to feel betrayed when some damn dirty laundry spills out from the hamper. The grassroots illusion of it all is snapped away. Made worse when there's a concerted effort to present themselves as getting with the times. Acknowledging, well, white people aren't the center of the universe.

But that doesn't mean that they deserved to go out like this. Nor that all they've done up to now never mattered.

The RWDE can drum up every "hot take" they can but RWBY is loved and popular for a damn good reason beyond what they may dismiss it as. Red Vs. Blue grew a ton from the basic Halo machinima of the early 2000s into a legitimate Halo spin-off. ZERO good actually BTW. It formed communities be it for love or just blowing off steam from being pissed to hell.

There may be a million "The Rise and Fall of-" videos waiting in the wings but they wouldn't even be a thought if Rooster Teeth wasn't what it was, warts and all. Some warts, yes, were more ugly than others.

Whoever worked there with all those warts, I hope to hell and back that this can be at least a good spot on your resume going forward.

Okay this might sound mean but it's not my intention... Do you think post-Hamilton LMM wouldn't be where he is film industry-wise if he chose not to allow Hamilton on Disney+? I read somewhere that Disney asked him (probably more than once) to release it on there but he kept refusing so they made a deal: He'll allow it on the streaming service in return of him getting to write songs for Disney songs. (I loved him in MPR despite his failed British accent, btw - so adorable and quite the charmer!)

Oooh, I read that somewhere too! Are you talking about his relevance in Disney or his acting career in general? Whether the musical got put on Disney+ or not has nothing to do with his entertainment career and relevance in Hollywood. Also, it was originally going to have a theatrical release on October 15, 2021, but it went on Disney+ July 3, 2020; and I, personally, wish that that did not happen. It should have gone to the movie theaters first and then Disney+, but considering what went into effect in 2020, it may not have done well in the box office, so this second plan actually worked out.

If you're referring to his acting career in general, then I can't say yes or no, because he's had acting gigs in both film and television before 'Hamilton: An American Musical', which ran from February 2015-July 2016 starring him and the rest of the original cast members (it began airing "previews" on Broadway July 2015 and opened to the public in August); however, he just wasn't as well-known like he is today. The Broadway musical instantly becoming a global phenomenon as well as earning countless awards and nominations, which I honestly feel is rare nowadays especially considering every musical seems to be based on a novel or film, is what boosted his career as well as relevance in Hollywood. Fun fact: He was writing music for both Moana (2016) and the musical at the same. Now, about Disney itself and Disney only, I feel that his affiliation with Moana is why he's still working with the company. If I'm interpreting this correctly, I think the deal was he'll allow the musical on Disney+ if he gets to star in Disney films of his choice, not continue writing songs for Disney films. I think he'll continue writing songs for Disney no matter what. (The only animated films he wrote all the songs for are Moana and Encanto, and both of them were a success!) I could be totally wrong, though, so someday I'll do research and see if I'm right or wrong.

Side Rant: Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius. He's so creative and poetic, and I love watching interviews with him, because you can hear genuine passion, enthusiasm and excitement in his tone (or seriousness depending on the topic). He strikes me as a deep thinker too. This beautiful, talented Puerto Rican clearly has a gift for writing (songs), and I believe that that is also why he's thriving today. Lin-Manuel Miranda is a multitalented, natural entertainer.

I’m gonna write a messy, short essay here about the spn finale. I know we’re all enjoying analysing and ripping it apart because, oh god, if you just look at all the pieces, all of us could’ve written so much better, and they all deserved so much better, and it hurts. but all in all i haven’t had that hard of a time forgetting about the finale, and the reason is that the minute that episode started I went. fuck. they really made a nostalgia episode for the last one.

i’ve got a really complicated relationship with nostalgia. i get high on nostalgia, like everyone else, that’s why all of us distanced spn fans went off the rails on november 5th. generally, i keep getting stuck on things that were good in the past and i love reliving those things by remembering. but not thinking about personal experience, i hate nostalgia. hate itttt. it ties so much into bad things these days and there’s two aspects in which it is relevant to the finale: firstly, how nostalgia is monetized, second, how white (cis? straight? i don’t know who specifically had a hand in writing the finale and i’m not gonna look it up for this, feel free to argue) males especially think of nostalgia. for example, disney owns our brains in the most crucial developmental phase, so the way they’re capitalizing on that childhood nostalgia is a good example of the bigger picture going on with it. right now, it’s really easy for all companies that have to do with entertainment to go the route of just evoking those sweet sweet memories. nostalgia has to do with emotion, emotion is a really easy way to persuade people to buy things, because invoking those familiar feelings is a way to instantly make you care. so if you think about ending your series (or beginning a sequel, looking at you the force awakens, actually probably the whole trilogy, whatever) what do you think is the surefire way to get that emotional punch out of people? now, we know that that surefire way is to do the work required, do a little original thinking and pick up the pieces of the narrative that still need completing. but if you were someone not privy to this understanding, if you were feeling lazy or if you possibly were someone thinking about things from a commercial point of view, you would most likely think oh! all the classic supernatural things, that’s what’ll make the people happy. and that probably did make a section of the fans happy! some people are happy with the endless churning out of remakes, as long as the industry is willing to do it (looking at you winx remake). i find it hard to blame them, especially when the future is sometimes looking really grim. but it’s also making me feel desperate, because we need to get out of the past to get original things, we need new stories, and the industry isn’t funding them because original ideas monetarily are a risk, a gamble. (now i’m rambling) so all of the things about the finale rang to me like remember this thing? remember this thing? remember this thing? the sympathies and narrative positions of the writers would factor into this and figuring out what they were thinking with all of this, like whether the last hunt or dean filling out a job form was supposed to feel (soul-crushingly) sad so that the death felt sad - idk, as i said i haven’t really looked into it and i don’t know the writers that well. now obviously, it’s hurting so much to think that in the end dean was that daddy’s blunt instrument, what with going on a hunt taken from john’s diary. but if you didn’t have a brain and were writing that, wouldn’t you maybe think that this is where it all started, it’s so emotional to remind everybody of that. bring back the hunt, the diary, the brother dynamic, that one vampire lady nobody remembers but it’s still a callback? i can’t remember what else there was but the ”plot” in the start of that ep was trying so hard to be season 1. and the pie. that’s nostalgic, that’s emotional. right? riiight. all of these cheap emotional cues left no room for actually dealing with anything that had been going on. (i don’t need to say that but i said it anyway: 101 of writing, there’s action and then there’s reaction, rinse and repeat.) not paying attention to the possible versions of the finale that there may have been before covid, even the decision to start everything as it started makes sense from this point of view, thinking about all the things from the earlier seasons that you could reference. oh my god, remember how sam wanted this in the beginning, always wanted to get out? and how dean said this is how he would go? how fitting! god this is way too long. ok so idk, i faintly remember that some of the writers have stated that they wrote the story for themselves. it might be a different writer than those who wrote the finale (i don’t know, sue me) but there’s definitely a pattern of white male writers lapsing into this nostalgia narrative. and supernatural was meant to be relatable to young white men, right? this time it’s not that kind of ”remember when everything was better” narrative that it usually is in politics, but definitely related to the question of ownership and entitlement. i think that personally a white man writing this (or star wars, or other things) might think of it like this is what was important to me. this is how it started, so many years ago and it’s so meaningful to me and reminds me of those years and feelings. this is my story and i want to end it on that emotional nostalgia that i feel. so to wrap this up somehow, i find it really hard to take the finale seriously when i think of the bigger picture. this is not to say that i don’t acutely feel everything about how dirty the characters were done, and i cherish and relate to every single post analysing that episode. I love to talk about it and debate it, but when it comes to being a finale denialist, it’s easy. after the primary reactions of laughing and then feeling angry when i thought about it, it just makes me feel flat. that was somebody elses personal version of a finale. that was a symptomatic, sad consequence of the larger theme going on, of men claming ownership to stories and/by taking into account only their own subjective experiences of it. and the fact that largely the entertainment industry is counting on everyone else doing the same right now. it was just a sad shortcoming that is entirely removed from the overarching story and plot (both pretty damn original and emotional) some of them were committed to doing. btw there’s a good article about how “originality is always traded for nostalgia” by writer khadejah jones. even though i’m high on that s1 rewatch nostalgia right now, let’s also remember to look for new things. i know a lot of you are going to be the ones creating those things and i’m looking forward to them, so let’s try to nudge the industry that way while we wait.

[alatismeni-theitsa]

Answering more anti-LO asks:

(1) Smythe definitely comes across as a child over a professional. She's nearly 40 years old and reacts like an entitled teenager when she doesn't get the mindless praise she wants or someone isn't kissing her feet, and brags about it! She probably relates to this child-like Persephone because she acts exactly like a spoiled teenager versus a grown adult. I've seen actual teenagers online who act with more poise and grace than Smythe ever has.

(2) As funny as Smythe can be being sassy about Disney, Disney also owns the Henson Company, aka the company that now owns the rights to LO. I'd never wish her ill-will, but you know, not the smartest idea to get snippy with the company that can easily sink your one project because you don't know when to just be quiet. Not saying she has to bow to them, but it's hard to be in entertainment, you have to play nice and we are well aware she can't, so she should learn sooner rather than later.

(3) The dream ending of LO is Persephone rejects Hades and goes with Hermes + she goes and lives her own life of healing with her own friends and family. Hecate takes over the Underworld since she's the only good worker, and Hades and Hera are left penniless and alone because they're removed for abusing their power sand trying to groom a teenager to be his wife, also him being a slave owner and both them for being lying hypocrites.

(4) Hey I’m not sure if you still do anti lore olympus but I gonna put this here anyway. Isn’t me or do the LO gods look like the ones from Disney Hercules. Just Look.. Disney Hades- Blue LO Hades- Also Blue Disney Persephone and LO Persephone are both pink Disney Apollo and LO Apollo are both purple Disney Demeter and LO Demeter are both green with a pink child. Disney Zeus’ Toga is Purple but I could being alittle picky. (Sorry for my bad grammar and spelling btw heh)

(5) Btw am I also the only who think Persephone is just a Mary-Sue? She’s perfect at everything and everyone (But Minthe, Apollo, and Thanatos) loves her? And she just ARRGH acts like a child just to get her way. I used to love LO dearly back in 2018 but now it’s just doesn’t excite me anymore. The fans are also very toxic. Harassing other H&P comic makers and stuff. Sorry for the long post, I just had to get this off my chest. I can’t believe that she made my baby Apollo evil for no reason. :(

(6) The biggest comment i see from LO fans is "its a story fo agency" but where exactly is Persephone's agency? She doesn't get to control anything about her life beyond what everyone else like Hera or the plot makes happen , her only "agency" is through, i guess, wanting Hades? What about her own goals? Her wants? Her dreams? We see nothing about this supposed agency beyond wanting to hop into bed with her boss. I'm waiting to see when she's supposed to have a choice in anything.

(7) Let's be real here, if LO Hades can only relate/feel a ~connection~ to an immature teenage then he does not deserve to be a king or CEO of anything bc that means he's either just as immature as her aka should not be leading anything or is just a plain ol' creep who may or may not be grooming her. There are more and more people being disgusted with rich, older men lusting after girls barely out of their teens in real life, and for good reason! He should be held to the same standards!

______________________________________________________________

1) No joke, from the way she acts I initially thought she was 20+ at best!

2) “Disney also owns the Henson Company”. Shiiiit! I didn’t know that! She should be more careful. But... see ask no.1 xD

3) I actually like this ending??

4) You are right! The colors are similar. Was this the cartoon she picked her artstyle from? I mean not exactly the style, but the colors. Fans were accusing her of something like this...

5) I think she would be a Mary Sue if the rules of the established universe bended to suit her. I don’t remember this happening tbh. She is also not perfect and most of characters there don’t claim she is perfect. So she has problems as a character for sure, but I wouldn’t say she is a Mary Sue.

6) Don’t worry, she will finally have agency in episode 500!! 🤣

7) Unfortunatelly Smythe brought the story to a modern setting with today’s moral values so... yes we should judge LO Hades the same way as we do with older male celebrities. And it’s a pity because it takes us away from the original story and the fact that we are not actually meant to judge the actions of gods.
