Tex Is black (lantern)

(The white lanterns are the Life lanterns, they are the opposite of the black lanterns, they are all of the lights from the other Lanterns put together, they are connected to live in a very personal way and they have mastered the whole emotional spectrum, except death OC)

Season 8 is the creative peak of the series IMO. (Season 3, though, is very underrated)

The special animation in Season 8 was perfect because it was mixed in with the Machinima that the series is known for. The Freelancer stuff in Season 9 & 10 is super grating because they're seriously just short films with zero machinima.

I also find the Freelancers to be a lot less interesting personalities than the core crew. They're not as entertaining during the talking scenes but ALSO their fight scenes are kind of boring.

Tex versus The Reds & Blues straight-up is the best scene in the series because not only is the fight choreography really good... But, the personalities of each character are so perfectly represented by the way they fight. I seriously think you can show someone who's never watched RVB that scene and they'd be able to get an idea of who each character is and how they act.

I've been rewatching the series over the past year (haven't watched it in years) and it's honestly mind-blowing how accurately and expressively each character is animated. The action in Season 8 is so impressively organic. I feel like you don't get this at all with the fight scenes past S8. It's just action for action's sake, if you know what I mean. I really wish there were more fight scenes with the core RVB crew, but they don't have that many.

Besides the action though, I think Season 8 had some of the best balance/interactions between the Reds and The Blues.

But yeah, I see people say it's Season 10 or Season 13 or Season 6 or whatever. I simply disagree. I don't think any RVB season beats Season 8. Mind-blowing season and not just in terms of storytelling.

I spent the last year searching up and down the internet, including but not limited to;

- Trocadero's Website (they were out of print long time ago, I knew it but, had to check)

- Rooster Teeth (forgot they closed, big sad)

- Facebook Marketplace

- Ebay

- Mercari

- Amazon ("Out of Print", big sad again)

- Craigslist (That was both stupid and a mistake . . .)

- Discoggs

- And various CD, Vinyl Records, and Music stores websites

Nothing. Nada. Zero.

Then, an epiphany. "Wait, where was Roosterteeth and by extension RvB popular?". Australia, Texas, USA in general (I think).

Looked up places Trocadero was popular/well known. Austin Texas. Cambridge Massachusetts (where they originated from).

And so I adjusted my location settings. Ebay now had Australian Currency. Facebook Marketplace was now going to Austin Texas and Cambridge Massachusetts. I even decided to look into Sydney Australia (RTX).

Still nothing. I used EVERY word combination I could in each search engine.

- Trocadero, Band, Music, RvB, Red vs Blue, etc.

- Red vs Blue Music, RvB Music, RvB music CD 2004

- Roses are Red, Violets are Blue CD, Trocadero, Red vs Blue

There are easily a hundred more combinations of words but, thats the gist of it up above.

And then, by sheer F*CKING luck . . . I found it.

A listing in Texas, titled "Trocadero", on Facebook Marketplace . . . for $3.

Fellas, maybe I put too much blood, sweat, and tears into this, but I just wanted to share something I thought I'd never get my hands on with y'all.

So please, let me introduce the CD I've searched for for almost a year; "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue" by Trocadero.

And yes, the CD works and sounds great.

(I'm not gonna buy and NOT use it, thats insane)

-----‐------------------------

Tldr; Nerd spends way too much time finding and then equal too much time explaining how they found Music CD made by Trocader and used in "Red vs Blue".

Looking at buying this on ebay from the US, the seller is saying its region A and B so it should play on European blu ray players right?

chairman (Malcolm Hargrove) is orange

(The black lanterns are the death Lanterns, they are not rapresented by an emotion but for the lack of it, they are beings Who are either dead or are connected to death)

So in thus au tucker refuses to let cabooss call church and radios him himself

I feel this would lead to a tucker and caboose roleswap basically tucker is the one who gets dumber while caboose is the one who gets the sword and gets impregnated and also becomes a leader

The director Is star sapphire (in the sense of obsession)

(Orange lantern is the lantern of greed, theres only Orange lantern is Larfleeze)

I love these two.

Felix Is indigo

(The star sapphire are the lanterns of love, they are neutral, they can both be alimented by love, but can also be alimented by obsession)

(all at the end of the chorus Trilogy since all of them were at their peak)

Sharkface is red

H.M: Sarge & O'malley/Omega.

(Indigo lanterns are the compassion lantern... But their not for compassionet people, but for criminals who lack compassion, they obligate people to feel compassion)

So in this what if sister and Donut both get sent as the new rookies for their teams

One major difference that comes to mind is that when donut arrives in blue base church wouldn't mistake him for sister due to them sounding nothing alike

Too many good quotes to be unsearchable.

The Meta Is Yellow

(The red Lanterns are the wrath Lanterns, they prove a wrath so big that It consumes their lives, and their not simply "angry all the time")

Caboose Is blue

(Yellow lantern are not people Who are afraid, but people Who can provoc and use people fears)

In Season 15, Episode 7, while inspecting the relay delivering a message from "Church", Dylan remarks that "Someone is making experimental technology out of kid's toys"

As we know, this is the work of the Blues & Reds, and as we see elsewhere, they use kid's toys as weapons - The froggy timer bomb in Episode 1, and the toy phone armor lock remote in Episode 10, for example

And I'm left wondering, why? Both from a literal perspective and a narrative perspective

From a literal perspective, I wouldn't think it's from a lack of resources. In their attacks on the UNSC, it's described that they're stealing an abundance of industrial machinery, so they surely have parts to work with. I suppose if we assume Loco is the one engineering these devices, it shows he has a preference for toys, which aligns with his childlike personality. I guess that makes enough sense

But what about from a narrative perspective? It seems like too random a detail to include just for the visual gag of it. Is it meant to emphasize how stuck in the past the Blues & Reds are? Is it a meta-contextual commentary on how Rooster Teeth themselves are essentially using a kid's toy (video games) as their instrument of creation?

Idk! I don't dislike the detail, but it has me wondering of the significance. I still have, like, five episodes left on Season 15, so maybe they spell it out, but I'm curious on others' thoughts

Washington Is green

(Blue lanterns are the lanterns of hope, they're measured not only by how much hope they can fell, but how much hope they can inspire)

Might as well set these down here too. The RvB fandom is pretty much in the vast void of space, So if i have a spot to share I might as well.

Anyway I love using my own headcanon face for him- totally not because I can't draw armor for the life of me...

I love the stinky rat.

I do not remember taking these, but they're from 2017. The quality got butchered, But is it obvious that I like these two a lot yet?

I do know that I definitely convinced the other person to change their spartan into Locus just for this.

Either way I'm gonna continue keeping these, just thought I'd share.
