doodles from today’s rvb rewatch marathon in preparation for the series finale! Got through the recollections saga and the freelancer seasons. Chorus tmrw 🫡
I think one of the most deeply hilarious things about Red vs Blue is that Beta/Tex was based on Church/Alpha's memories of Allison. This foul tempered, foul mouthed, incredibly violent woman is who Leonard Church was obsessed with???
Like, this isn't who she was, this is how Leonard remembers her. And by all accounts, these aren't his bad memories of her, either! This is what he loved about her! Fucking hilarious. By sheer virtue of the fact that nerds in 2003 thought a mean, crude girl was hilarious they invented one of the most hilarious guys: "Obsessed With My Dead Mean Wife"
tucker voice Haha woah hey ladies am i interrupting something haha nah its cool you two get back to your lovers quarrel ill just stand right here and enjoy the view
something I do appreciate about red vs blue is its particular brand of “came back wrong”. you were brought back, but you’re just a memory of the person you’re supposed to be. you’re just the expectations of them. you’re just the pieces everyone else saw and remembered. you’re tough like the original, but you’ll always fail no matter how tough you are, because the original failed, too. you’ve got a personality like the original, but it’s not quite right because you didn’t actually live the life they did. there’s this person you love- who you would kill or suffer or die for- but you don’t know why, you just know you’re supposed to be together because that’s what you were made for.
