#cow chop

[monarchisms]

for the theater mode enjoyers: unfortunately, the entire series was taken down from rooster teeth’s website around a week ago:

as explained by chelsea, all of the episodes had to be taken down because rt lost the rights to the films that were used in the show. on the bright side, excluding the aux episodes, every other episode has been backed up to the internet archive. it’s separated by group: achievement hunter, funhaus, and cow chop.

My former Rooster Teeth/Achievement Hunter girlies help!

Im on a desperate search for what I'm starting to fear is lost media. In the heyday of the AH/RT fandom, there was an artist on SoundCloud who made Achievement Hunter and Red Vs Blue fan music. Not the remixes, actually sung music with original lyrics. Mostly extremely earnest indie ballads, usually backed by an acoustic guitar.

I originally found them around 2012/13, though I think the oldest of the music had been posted before that. The last time I saw any of their stuff was around 2016. At some point between then and now, they must have deleted their account or at least the fan music. I can't remember the original username, but at some point around 2015 they changed it to HiShi or something similar.

The Achevment Hunter based songs I can remember were at least two about Mavin (yes the ship), and one about Ray that was for the king AU. The RVB ones were a cover of Your best friend, an angsty one about Church that I think was a ship song, and one about Felix that was a very different style from the rest. I believe there was also a RWBY one but I don’t remember it well.

If anyone has any memory of this please tell me, I've been looking for it for years and at this point I’d just take proof it existed.

Oh hey, Tumblr… it’s been a while.

Just wanted to jump on here to see if anyone is still around from back in the day. There are still a good amount of you following me, but I can’t remember who anyone is or whether you’re even still active or not.

My account used to be called alex-markov and I used to make Cow Chop gifs on the daily up until 4/5 years ago, and that feels like such a long time ago now and so much has happened since then.

I’m engaged, have my own house, and even have a set of twin girls. I keep wondering how the hell I got here. How did I go from obsessively making gifs, to this? If someone told me back in 2019/2020 that this would be my life, there’s no way I’d believe them.

But I’m not complaining.

So I wanna know if there’s anyone here who remembers me? Or if theres anyone here that I will remember?

If you do remember me, how has the last 4/5 years been for you?

And what if I shed a tear?

I woke up from a nap and found out one of the foundational pillars of my youth shut down. Damn.

Rooster Teeth was my lifeblood as a teen, and I’ve been a fan from the first time I saw Tex vs RnB’s. RWBY is what made me starting writing. I remembered the exact time I started actually writing down my ideas, Feb 2, 2015 at 3:52 pm after confirmation study, a day after I learned Monty passed. It was a RWBY OC fic that I stopped after I remembered their words to stop focusing on other people’s work and work on your own to build your own brand. I still have it- the writing is meh though -and my first drawings were RWBY characters like the ones below. I owe my artistic creation to that. Maybe I'll post that first fic one day too.

That gave me the time to build up a portfolio of original writing that I will soon be publishing online for myself. It inspired me and still does to this day as I enjoy RWBY and hope it will be finished.

I still listen to Gold, the music from RWBY just inspires such a sense of love from me. It can make me well with tears- which is not something easy do. I was apart of the RWBY WIKI! Back when we called Yang Yellow, and speculated White would be a cold high lady type and not girlfail. The Speculation House was my house. It was the first time I posted anything on the internet.

AND I CALLED IT BACK IN 2013- I CALLED SALEM AND OZPIN- ONE MAN WITH MULTIPLE SOULS A WOMEN WITH NONE!!! I CALLED IT AND EVEN HAD A POST I MEANT TO MAKE BUT I WAS TOO SCARED!!! SIX YEARS AHEAD!!!!!!

Anyway I was a superfan like from 2013-16 I lived and breathed the company, I watched every video, every channel, every podcast, I lived and breathed it. From Cow Chop, Sugar Pine, Funhaus, Gamefails etc. Achievement Hunter was why I came home from school to watch videos. I remember why RTX was a fandom wide event, and every single panel had mind-blowing information about something I loved. I was there for the first GTA V gameplay, and the first video on Let's Play. I have such a distinct memory of sitting down one Friday after school with a bowl of chef boyardee on a cheap white desk covered by a blue rag and chipped dark blue bowl, looking up at the ps3 3d wall-mounted tv, and watching the first Capture the Tower in Minecraft with such glee. It was my childhood.

I followed the King AU fan comic series on here and the FAKE AH crew AU. I was that heavy into it.

I READ A FEW REAL PEOPLE FICS. I was that deep. I've never done that for anyone else even in my deepest fandom days.

I remember being so excited when them and Yogscast paired up, they being another pillar and like them I am still a fan. Those TTT episodes are something special to me.

Like any company it had its flaws, and I remember every single controversy. Every. Single. One. God. I've diminished to someone who just keeps up with podcasts like F**ckFace and Red Web but I still called myself a fan. It was a foundation for me and a stabilizing influence when I was younger. I sincerely hope that the talented people there get help for this.

It only inspires my hatred of Warner Brothers more.

It actually does feel like a chapter has closed and I don't know how to feel about that.

Anyway here's Gold for your heart.
