Memory is The Key - a Red vs Blue Retrospective (Seasons 1-13)

A love letter to Rooster Teeth's complicated series that changed my life, and an overlong meditation on identity, grief, and love. (Edit: so in the months since this vid was published, Rooster Teeth pulled this series from YouTube and was then shut down by Warner Bros. It's still available to watch online for free, but the bit in my disclaimers about it being on this platform has swiftly become outdated. If this vid inspires you to watch this series, you can get your hands on all seasons of this show without hoisting the sails on Tubi for free [ https://tubitv.com/series/300009768/r... ]. The seasons are listed weirdly but it seems like everything's at least available for now. Hopefully it doesn't become lost media) --- 00:00 Intro 06:25 Part 1: You Ever Wonder Why We're Here? 33:51 Part 2: Memory is The Key 1:37:12 Part 3: You Were My Greatest Creation 2:35:26 Part 4: Ain't That A B*tch? --- Shakespeare's Sonnet 30 When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste: Then can I drown an eye, unus'd to flow, For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe, And moan th' expense of many a vanish'd sight; Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before. But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restor'd, and sorrows end. --- If you enjoyed this, and want to help me with producing more projects like this one, please consider supporting me on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/A751BM3 --- Links to the articles and references I used in this vid can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/yun7s8kt --- This video was produced on land that traditionally belongs to the East Cherokee and Yuchi tribes.
