Exactly TWO YEARS to the day since Jason Weight dropped his drafts for what he would have proposed for s18 of red vs blue. Which included canon grimmons, bisexual Sarge, and ace Donut - fanfiction style. And I will never ever forget this. The Nov25th of grimmons. Mr Weight where ever you are I hope you're having an incredible day.

Ok but what exactly is up with yellow Church? I mean he's inside Cabooses head but he acts differently then the other "head people" and seems self aware

(actual Church: "What the fuck? That's like wrong in 8 different ways"

Yellow Church: "Yeah. I know. Tell me about it." )

Plus he sounds so apathetic? It's weird

And that's not mentioning the time travel

I know everyone loves to make japes and jabs about the queerbaiting of Grimmons (including me) but my hot take is was that it was never truly queerbaiting until at the earliest S15. Never in a single mainline season of RvB before 15 did they truly queerbait Grimmons. The qualifier for queerbaiting is to keep LGBT fans watching while not aliening their mainstream audience, but I do NOT think they looked at their fanbase comprised majorly of reddit users and thought "okay lets tease the minority shippers too to make sure they stay watching". They did not even consider the fangirls, for years. Rooster Teeth never needed to do that until their company was on life support.

The cracks in seasons 1&2 about them being an old married couple and to stop the pillow talk etc etc? Normal 2004-era "gay people haha funny" jokes. Only in current year can those things be retroactively construed as bait. Behind the scenes stuff? Also mostly jokes of the time.

So what about the storage closet sex? Even hotter take: that was more a straight up a jump to ship teasing. Like there was hardly any "bait" there. They had sex. Period. That was the Nov5th of grimmons. Only after THAT did they bait, because of how they never actually talk. About the storage closet sex. And only allude to it and Them(tm).

173k fucking notes. posted on tumblr by a rvb blog in 2021. tagged rvb, I am assuming because of what went on in rvb zero.

grif says simmons first name. casually. what if I died.

it is so SO good and correct that their first sexual encounter was a BJ and that it brings into question if it "counts" as gay sex. incredible grimmons trope straight out of my headcanons. mr weight. when I say you get it.

lesbian bisexual overly preoccupied with getting the gay boys together? check. (among other things for her to do, thankfully.) but also. she gets it. mr. weight. you get it.

this is like the miles' s14 mercs episode where he copied fandoms facecanons for felix and locus. but for canon grimmons.

From one of the creators from the rvbzero copium watchlist, this video's discussion is in line with basically ALL my thoughts on the season, in a succinct and well spoken way. Highly recommended.

The funniest contrast I can make with jason's rvb18 and gomens s2 being tropey fanfic (w/r/t to ships & gays) is the show's audience. Like of COURSE Neil Gaiman made a/c canon fanfic style. Who else is he writing it for but the tumblr girlies? Look up the good omens subreddit and its a desert in there. Meanwhile rvb was made for the reddit bros before reddit even existed. Imagine if rvb18 not only made grimmons canon but queer'd basically all of red team a la the average fangirl's ao3 account. People on the other side of the internet fences would have been SO mad. Blood on the streets. It would have been the funniest shit in the WORLD.
