RWBY Volume 7 Content Update! (Patreon)
Content
Greetings and salutations, everyone! I hope you've all been well.
It's been quite some time since I made an "official" update post that didn't have to do with Red vs Blue's sporadic upload schedule. So much has happened over the last few months, and it feels like a blur. For most of you, I hope your Summer was fun; I'm hoping that you're crushing it at school, work or college, make sure you stay bundled for the Fall/Winter, and I hope you had a fun and safe Halloween! There are certainly a few things I'd like to talk to y'all about, and with the arrival of RWBY Volume 7 being less than two days away, I figured I'd lay it all out now before this volume clocks me into overtime. So, let's chat, shall we?
Collectively, and I can't say this enough, but thank you all so much for your kindness, generosity, support, and, ultimately, your patience during these last few months. Looking back at my content during the Summer, it felt somewhat lackluster compared to what I wanted to accomplish and was NOT my best at-bat. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with finishing my Kingdom Hearts 3 LP, starting my Persona 5 LP, and completing Burnie's 10-year saga of Red vs Blue, but there were quite a few beats that I missed or fell short on delivering and it's been beating me up. (no pun intended)
Yet, despite my shortcomings and missteps, I've received nothing but positive vibes, words of encouragement and continued support from you all, especially when I felt I didn't deserve it. I can do better, and you guys deserve me at my absolute best, every time! And so, I'm revitalized and fired up to deliver, not only my most robust effort with RWBY content this volume, but also to incorporate a new layer of material to the channel in the months following RWBY 7's conclusion and RvB's return. It's something I've wanted to get back to for a while, but that's all I'm going to say for now! So, shifting the focus to RWBY...
At the time of this post, we're less than 33 hours away from the premiere of RWBY Volume 7, with Chapter 1, on the Rooster Teeth website for FIRST members! And with every year, I'm eager to push myself to deliver the same content you've all come to know, love, expect and look forward to, while also challenging myself to exceed last year's reception. Straight up, the reception of my Volume 6 content was the BEST my channel has ever seen.
-Early access reactions for V6 on Patreon brought Patreon support to an all-time high!
-V6 reactions were overwhelmingly positive, garnering 122K-197K views per video!
-V6 Livestream Discussions exceeded watch time & engagement of all previous volumes!
-I tried my hand at RWBY theories, which was fun and creatively challenging!
-RWBY AMVs were all the rage & shitposts were top-notch!
And this year, I plan on making content for Volume 7 even better!
-Early access reactions for V7 will return on November 2nd (See Huntsman/Huntress tier).
-V7 reactions will premiere, with live chat, on YouTube one week after the RT site.
-V7 Livestream Discussions will take place every week on Thursday evening (5-6 PM EST).
-V7 Rapid-Fire Reviews will debut as a scripted, bullet-point style review for each chapter.
-V7 Theories, AMVs, and shitposts will be posted spontaneously.
-RWBY News & Information videos will be posted as relevant information is announced.
There's so much I'm looking forward to this volume: The SDC, the Relic of Creation, Penny's Father, Mama Schnee's debut, Team FNKI's return, and so much more! The content is going to be insane this year, and I look forward to sharing my experience with you all once again.
Thank you all for the love and support, and here's to a fantastic volume!
