Heyo! I’m Silly! Welcome to my RWBY blog where I babble some analyses mainly about my faves (Mostly Roman and/or Neo), make shitposts in any form (video, edits, text, etc.), reblog my own RWBY art (and sometimes my non-RWBY art to promote my art blog... p.s: it’s @silly-fly-media ​ in case y’all wanna follow), sometimes write a fic once in a blue moon, and reblog anything in the FNDM that catches my eye!

I run a Roman Torchwick public server called Roman Torchwick’s Crime Time, so if you like Roman or just wanna hang, feel free to join!

I also have commissions open which please check ‘em out and consider commissioning me. It would help me out a lot.

Hey everyone, please consider buying the 2024 itch.io Palestinian Relief Bundle- it's 373 games, game-making assets, tabletop roleplaying games, zines, and comics for a minimum of just 8 USD! They have a goal of 100,000 USD, and as of the time I'm writing this post, they have 8 more days to reach it.

Link will be in the reblog!

I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.

These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )

Bad news, @noodelzmop. Arbitration basically means that if you want to sue Discord for whatever reason, the dispute needs to be handled in house. Specifically, in their house. If you don't get this email out, you're basically signing away your right to legal recourse if they do criminally shitty stuff to you, like with the McDonalds app.

I have been told that emailing "I am confirming that as of the date of this email, I am choosing to opt out of binding arbitration to settle disputes with Discord." With the Email you used for your discord account is enough for the notice but take this with a grain of salt as this was not said by a lawyer

reiterating that this only applies to US users

THIRTY DAY LIMIT BTW. I suggest taking sixty seconds to fire off a quick email with op’s recommended text. I have no plans to sue discord but better safe than sorry

people are already complaining that the next episode of Beyond is focusing on Jaune instead of a member of RWBY, when like

I don't know if your entitled asses forgot but the company got shut down after Beyond went into production, these four episodes we're getting (the latter two we have no idea where the focus is yet either) were all they managed to get done, they couldn't get all they wanted to do done, this isn't a case of mismanaged priorities or 'unfair favouritism' or whatever the fuck

as much as i would've preferred that all four episodes focused on characters we Didn't get to see in v9 i think people need to realize that, if the first episode is anything to go by, they're only able to use voice actors that already work at rt. they cleverly got around this in the first episode, but it still heavily restricts who they can focus on. this episode is about jaune because miles was there to record and it's highly likely that one/both of the last two episodes will focus on ruby and/or yang because that's all they're going to have left, unless they focus on very minor characters like scarlet or have another rt employee voice a previously unvoiced character. they just don't have a lot of options with this.

My graphics always made Roman seem cool and shit. I mean he is but he's also a dork lol

I wish I had the energy and mojo to change my theme on this blog to make it more colorful like pumpkin colors. .... Hmm...

Idek why I'm thinking about updating the themes here. Aside from reblogging signal boosts of current events (so that it can reach more people), I barely use this blog anymore

... Maybe the rwby and rt news just has me feeling nostalgic?

It's not like I dislike rwby now it's just that I've gotten into other stuff

I still think about rwby from time to time and have some rwby stuff in the works (including OCs). I just enjoy it quietly and yell about to close friends in the fndm lol

The RoosterTeeth site will be deleted May 15th 😔 do yourselves a favor and start archiving EVERYTHING you can now. RageQuit, RvB, X-Ray & Vav, the Minecraft Let's Plays, RWBY, etc. RT is warning us as nicely as they can that there's a p good chance we won't be able to access ANYTHING by next year, including the YouTube channel. Download!

May as well make this a public response instead of just a reply. There is an archive already in the works and people have captured pretty much everything that has ever been released by RT. The focus was first on pure content gathering, now they’re shifting to how to preserve it somewhere for people to access for posterity.

Currently, that’s here: https://archiveofpimps.com

Not everything has been uploaded yet, I just confirmed on the discord that it’s coming along and everything should be accessible asap.

Don’t fret; no need to worry. There’s nothing we can do about Warner Brothers, but the content that is already produced should be safe. Gather your own favorites (I did for me!) but regardless it should be all safe and accessible very soon. ❤️

I don’t care whether you like rooster teeth or not the idea of deleting 21 years of media should be incredibly concerning

Seeing this news about RT is a trip when you have your rwby blog go semi inactive for nearly 2 years due to getting into other stuff (and life shit too I guess)

I literally made this blog only cuz I just wanted to post my Roman related shitposts and analyses w/o clogging up my main blog (which was meant to be an art blog but it turned into a personal blog oops~)

I've had a lot of memories from this fandom both good and not so good and on top of that, participating in this fandom pushed me further into my art

I mean even though I'm not as active as I used to be, I still post RWBY art here and there. Still will tbh and I'm emphasizing the whole "here and there" timings. Idk what's going to happen with RWBY other than just wait and see and also to archive the crap out of it b/c more media (new and old) keeps on getting erased every single time

Man I'm just... This got me through some times like college and the pandemic... Not sure why I'm making this sound like some send off post (it's not a send off post). Sentimentality I guess ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Anyways I'll keep on just using this blog to retweet any rwby news, nice art, boosts for current events, as well as my own art rwby or not

I'm not a FIRST member, but I wanted to spread the word. The official shutdown date has been announced. May 15 is when it all goes down. One month from today.

This is your absolute LAST CHANCE to save ANYTHING from Rooster Teeth you may want to keep, whether it be RWBY, RvB, Camp Camp, et cetera. If you have any unfinished business, take care of it NOW. Once the calendar hits the 15th, the axe falls.

And just so you know, this is NOT me raising the RWBY white flag. Not even close. I'm not giving up hope anytime soon. Even when the site goes down, we still can't give up. The only time we can ever give up is when Kerry comes out and tells us it's over. And seeing how passionate he and the rest of CRWBY are about this series, that's not going to happen until they have exhausted EVERY option.

Anyway, just wanted to let you all know. May 15 is when the guillotine comes down. Do whatever you need to before then.

Another KOSA update:

Sadly, it is true that today, 04/10/2024, KOSA has been introduced to the House BUT! That doesn’t mean it’s game over just yet!

Proof:

Friendly reminder that there is much less support for KOSA in the House than the Senate. And even if it does pass the House—God forbid, it’s not over until the President signs it.

Here is the phone number for the Committee that’ll be holding the hearing on April 17th (Use the top number), and of course keep calling your Senators & House Representative.

I know this is scary for a lot of people, but we have to keep fighting. Please spread this around & don’t give up!

Don’t lose hope.

KEEP FIGHTING.
