Rooster Teeth is no different than any other corporation. When people celebrated Lumity becoming canon, they weren’t supporting Disney. I get that they PRETENDED to be better so it hurts more to find out that they’re more of the same, but they’re not special. The people celebrating Bumbleby becoming canon aren’t automatically supporting Rooster Teeth, anymore so than Owl House fans automatically support the Walt Disney Corporation.
TD;DR: Rooster Teeth is terrible & deserves to rot, but supporting CRWBY doesn’t mean supporting it and it’s kind of a blatant double standard if it’s only inexcusable in THIS case, & yet in the case of Disney, or Riot Games…
Originally The Last Gingerbread House was going to be an honorary Mention but then writing this I realized I really like both episodes for almost the same reasons and the same amount so now they share the 5th position.
I wasn’t sure if put this episode, being honest the list ended in the 4# position, but a top 4 doesn’t sound as good as Top 3 or Top 5 (and now is more a Top 6 JA)
Why the yach episode? Because of the whole Uncle Father Santa Teddy. Is just too much for my tiny smushy heart.
In a headcanon of mine, in a very near future Teddy's gonna be an official member of the Belcher Family (though he already is) But he’s gonna married Linda and Bob and be officially the third parent of the kids. Imagine if he already was during the events of "The Plight Before Christmas"? We wouldn't have the episode at all.
For me it just make so much sense. Teddy is already a father figure for the kids and also already married to Bob and Linda, when he take them as his family for his ex marine thing? You can not tell me this three aren’t married and that these aren't his childrens.
Same with the gingerbread episode. He is there with his family signing christmas carols with his wife and kids while his husband cheated on them with their landlord. Beautiful.
Oh well and the sexual tension parts of both episodes doesn't hurt either.
(kinky 😏)
Here we have two of the most patetic grown up man chacheteando las banquetas or crushing over my too perfect for this world man Bob, seriously what is with this man? Everyone want to fuck him or in this cases be fuck by him. Pardon my french.
A naked Jimmy Pesto telling a naked Bob that he actually like his cooking and think he is great, and love him deeply and pls Bob love me back. Yeah totally straight behavior.
(Hope now that they change his voice actor we can see more of Jimmy Pesto I really missed him) (and look at Bob's face after Jimmys complimet 😍)
Oh and the sexual tension between Bob and Fischoeder? No mames wey. The poor man was having a gay panic as soon as Bob throws him a compliment.
And, not only in this episode but in many, I love how Bob is able to change Calvin’s ways and help him grow a little, be less of an asshole, though we love our excentric rich man Calvin Fischoeder.
EXTRAS
I notice something interesting in both episodes. In Gingerbread Bob seems very down at the idea of being with Calvin on christmas and in Yach Bob gets pretty touch by Jimmy's compliment to the point he end up helping him, like... do the holidays make Bob more gay than usual? 🤨🏳️🌈
Oh and the mistreat to Felix in Gingerbread XD “Um, I'm Calvin's actual family” Why he have to pointed that? XD
I just love Linda's "Aw, Family" and Bob face in response
It only took me around one year to finish this, damn you work
I love love love this kind of meme, so of course I had to do this for my blorbino in Call of Cthulhu, Faolàn O'Hara.
Explanations under the cut.
Wool: as a texture I choose wool both because one of his key item is a wool scarf, and because it serves as Faolàn's contradictions. Genuine, warm and soft, but also rough at the same time.
Aurum italicum: color palette aside, this plant in my native language is called "snake's bread". It is said that snakes eat its berries to develop their poison, or that they can be used to attract and kill snakes as the berries emit heat and snakes mistake them for preys. Faolàn's first arc is centered on his fear and later antagonism against a gang called Bramble's Snakes, so it was perfect. Plus it represent very well his hot-temper and lethality.
Wolf: Faolàn creates extremely strong bonds with friends and family, treating them as a pack he feels obliged to protect and lead.
Butterscotch: this guy is depressed and has a hell of a sweet tooth, butterscotch has that vintage feel that's what he'd love.
Rifle's Spiral - The Shins: I was very indecisive about the song, since his theme from day one has been another song. But decided for this one in the end as the foundation theme for Faolàn is devotion turned into blind faith turned into violence. Also the song is somewhat circular in its structure, which is perfect for his tendency to meddle with timelines.
Rage: Faolàn's main emotion is rage. He's the cornered wolf biting for its life, the all or nothing, the fire that consumes the sick forest to allow for new growth.
