So I was able to watch the RWBY Volume 9 epilogue shown at this year RTX, they weren't able to make it for V9 because production stuff happened and it will probably be shown in V10 with some changes according to how V9 actually changed.

First I'd like to say that (SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT) this epilogue is everything ♥ The message of hope and kindness is just there, it's fully there and I'm just so happy to see it on screen. Winter feeling guilty for everyone's death and Penny's death, Qrow being optimistic and changing his perspective, the Schnees helping how they can, the end with the memorial and the reunion..... I just can't I'm freaking crying sdfgdfgf

Just, please be kind, even if life is shitty and complex, kindness is everything and so precious, kindness and love are just so special and I hope everyone can be inspired by that. RWBY might not be perfect, there are a lot of things that could be done in a better way, but I still love this show and story for how much it grows and changes and evolves with the people who're making it and the community watching it.

Also, of course I have to add my little not so delusional Penny moment for this krkrk--

In the epilogue, Winter mentions Penny twice, when she says it should have been her to die, not team RWBY, Jaune, Penny and everyone else. She's feeling guilty she got to survive when Penny's (and team RWBY) the one who believed in people and had hope. Winter mentions Penny again right after by saying "Because of me, Penny's gone, forever", IS IT JUST ME or is that kinda odd there's so much insistence around Penny's death since V9 and again like that ?

I wrote whole threads about it already for why I can see her coming back, but stuff just keep piling up and I might starting to just be sure she'll come back later. Most of the time, when a character is mentioned to be "gone, forever", it just feels like it's strange and this might not be the case. Especially after what we learned in Volume 9, I just think there's something cooking but I'M NOT CRWBY I CAN'T BE SURE BUT THERE'S SOMETHING I CAN FEEL IT----

I talked about it with the friend who made me discover RWBY tonight btw, they haven't even seen V9 yet (only 2 chapters that we started together) but they also think that scenaristically it can totally make sense and they can see Penny coming back, the 3rd time finally being the good time and for it to be permanent and confirmed. And I agree, in a larger view I just think that it is logical, the whole thing about Penny is that everything feels odd and weird and strange and ANYWAY it feels like they're really cooking something

But yeah this "Penny's gone, forever", it's just so strange omg. I know that Winter is feeling guilty, but you know, it's still something they REALLY insist on and they make the viewer know about that, almost as if they wanted to say "SEE, that's what everyone think, everyone think she's gone forever but SURPRISE NOPE SHE'S NOT-"--

ANYWAY I'll stop rambling, I love RWBY omg. I love Ruby and Penny for their hope and kindness, for the perfect ship vibes they share together, I just need them to be reunited whoooaaAAAAH

Lunatics are those who support Israeli leadership in this.

"Just Playing"

Would like to thank this production company for providing the fondest memories for literally 2/3 of my life. What a wild roller coaster ride of a journey. Eternally grateful and forever miss what it once was. My digital oasis.

When Diana says ‘I prefer the liberated Elizabeth instead’

I hadn’t heard ‘liberated Elizabeth’ before so I googled it to see what came back. Turns out there’s a lot of swingers couples around with a “liberated Elizabeth” involved. And some pornography. I don’t know what I was expecting, really.

Reminder for those going to dreamcon this weekend,

avoid going to sixth street they be shooting out there. Just about every weekend ontop of people drugging people. I heard they started drugging people on rainy as well. But please be safe and vigilant when in a group

And it’s going to be hot out here if you’re new to texas. 2 cold water bottles or wet paper towels under the armpits can help cool you down quickly.

We had a ton of fun attending Komori Con, a super cool, brand new anime convention run on the UT campus! Our super talented artists drew over a hundred fursonas for attendees over the course of the day. A very special thank you to the Komori Con staff for putting on an incredible and impressive first ever showing. Hopefully we'll see some of y'all there again next year! ❤️

No doubt Israelis will spin this as having represented a great threat to them... How long will the Pentagon go along with such lunacy!?!

[thestarfishface]

Starting a new series on my YouTube: Doing anime/comic convention reviews, specifically focused around artist alley! Not exactly a vlog but I'll try to get more recorded footage at future shows ;w; 

My first in the series is covering Anime Austin 2022 in Austin, TX- a show I've attended a few times in the past. This was my first time selling there as an artist! Let's discuss.

Sorry, but I have not accepted that gimmick change in Theory at all.

I rather liked the selfie dude gimmick, and part of me didn't think it was a bad thing because it was very WWE-esque in a very good way, no matter how silly it looked. But the saddest thing is the fact that he's going to be the frowning, aggressive, characterless youngster that seems to be universally present in all wrestling organizations anymore.

He should have needed only minor changes.
