I still have vivid memories of watching Rage Quit at midnight in a room I shared with friends in junior college, trying my best not to wake them up with my laughter. The year was 2012. My whole body shook as I tried to stifle what could've been a howling laughter, and I'm pretty sure my friend on the bunk bed above me woke up anyway. The next day, I went through the entire playlist for Rage Quit.
A year after that, I moved across the globe for my degree. I was alone, homesick, and miserable -- plunged into unfamiliar territories and culture, I had a hard time making friends. At my worst, I was severely depressed, lying in my bed for hours, not caring if I was alive or not. I only survived because of the friends I made here, in the rtah fandom, who held my hands through my loneliness.
I think my story, though the details may vary, is a lot of other people's stories, too.
I'm sure we all have complicated feelings about RTAH's death. I do. A lot of its decisions and fuck ups have caused me great pains and I firmly believe this company's death is long overdue. But it has also brought me so much joy as a teen and allowed me to meet so many of my dearest friends -- the bad never quite overshadowed the good, just breathing side-by-side, in grief.
Farewell, Rooster Teeth. You helped me through the lowest points of my life and you gave me some of its best -- laughing at the Surgeon Simulator Rage Quit, waiting for the next Immersion episode to drop, building a whole new universe of Fake AH Crew with the fandom, voting for the IB Podcast win another podcast award, making 20 different gifs of the same moments between Michael and Gavin.
I wish we could've parted in better ways. I'll never forget being 16, staying up until 2am with my friends to watch a dude eat 12 lava cakes for a donation to a children's hospital. Thank you, in spite of everything.

Jeremy spoke about the situation last night, and I wanted to repost it here because I feel like it’s something we could all stand to hear. Apologies about the watermark, I had to compress it because it was over the file size limit. Time stamp of 2 hours, 9 minutes if anyone wants to see it for themselves.
I had to cut it for time, but he ended it by saying: “It’s okay to not be okay right now. Because eventually we will be! Remember that.”

@ that anon asking if it’s okay to not be actively engaging with the situation anymore - absolutely it’s fine to check out right now. he’s been removed, to that degree it’s over and it’s being dealt with. there’s nothing to gain from re-exposing yourself to triggering accounts. these girls’ statements are good to have for general record/healing, but the fight has been fought and won and everyone’s allowed to rest/process this traumatic event however they need to.

another ryan haywood victim has spoken out twitter(.)com/MichelleVologs/status/1314588030926090240
link + summary. this is nsfw as it goes fairly in depth about what happened between them physically when she was underage, and i’m sticking a blanket cw on here for how he behaved when they were in a room together. i’m not sure what cw would cover it, but it definitely has the ability to be triggering.

I cannot describe how much I spiritually connect with these images of Micheal Jones

Hi you don't have to reply to this, but I noticed that your blog's sidebar says "ryan haywood is very precious" and I thought you might want to change that? Sorry if you already know and me pointing it out is unnecessary, but I figured I would bring it to your attention just in case you hadn't noticed
thank you...actually i noticed but i was planning to erase this whole blog anyway so i figured there was no point in changing the little things. this blog is steeped with ryan content i don’t think it’s even possible to even begin to take him out of it -- i’m probably locking/deleting the blog this weekend
thanks for the heads up anyway!
