#rt12years

This past week was RT’s 12th birthday, happy birthday by the way. When i first saw the post on the RT website I just saw it as someway for a random blogger or a twitterer to get some free cash. However I realized it is a bit more than just a reward from a random drawing. I became a part of RoosterTeeth about two years ago. I got into RoosterTeeth the same way many others have, through RageQuit. One day a video of some guy screaming at a video game popped up on my YouTube feed, from the moment it ended and I went to the channel I was hooked. I found the group called Achievement Hunters, the web show Red Vs. Blue, as well as the many great people involved in making all this content I found myself watching every SINGLE day. RoosterTeeth was a place I could go whenever I had a liable internet connection to escape and laugh my ass off. No matter my day i could go and take a breather from my daily routines and watch some morons play video games who were always having a good time. RoosterTeeth was becoming a part of who I am as weird as it may sound. Today I continue to get on a computer and watch RoosterTeeth everyday. This “contest” is not why i’m writing this. I’m not writing this to win some prize, I am writing this to say.. Thank You. You guys and girls helped me get through everyday. No matter how rough it was i could always count on RoosterTeeth to keep me going. So, Thank You. Thanks for always being well.. You. Thank You for putting out content and making me smile on a daily basis. This post may just be lost in the list of posts tagged #rt12years and just end up being me typing to no one. Even if no one ends up seeing this, thanks. And hey! You’re 12 now, celebrate! Congrats on 12 years, here’s to 12 more!

That's pretty much it. I became a sponsor because of this and I am extremely glad of it. thanks for the memories guys!

Going to try and not make this too long because I could go on for a while on this subject. I became a fan of (more like fell in love with) Roosterteeth late December 2011, I was a junior in High School. My descendent into the Roosterteeth fandom was very rapid. It all started with two lovable idiots laughing at halo fails. Then continued with hours of more lovable idiots talking about random shit(the podcast). Then I had to see everything that these amazing people had created. That's always what I liked to focus on, the people. I haven't seen someone in a production that I have went, "hm I really don't like them". Actually it's quite the opposite. I suddenly found myself with so many people I admire, look up to and that inspire me. And to have have them also make me laugh like I hardly ever do was amazing! They made/make me so happy and gave me people I could look up too. Which I desperately needed in high school, and honestly still do. Then I got to see I wasn't the only one who felt like this. I seen that Roosterteeth had a whole community feeling the same way as I did. That made me feel like I belonged and was apart of something, I still feel this way too. Recent events this year really had me feel a lot of love for the community. I can't leave out a mention to All of the content though, because that's what made me become a fan. All of the content Roosterteeth puts out that I hold dear to me. Like RvB, podcasts, Let's Plays, RWBY, more, and all the stuff that hasn't even come out yet. This is why I am a fan of Roosterteeth. Thats why I love this thing called Roosterteeth that's Way more than a company. I can't wait till I get to meet the people of RT. All the people who I feel I need to thank for so many things. Sorry I made this way too long. I could could add so much more too... ❤️

Rooster Teeth has inspired me these past years and I am so excited to watch where the next years take us.

I have terrible social anxiety, like its completely debilitating at times. When I graduated high school last year I left Austin for the first time in my life and the few friends I had along with it. These are friends that have taken me four or five years to make and when I left for college I had to start from scratch. I have never been more scared. Now to the happy part of the story. I forced myself to join some clubs and in them met other Rooster Teeth​ fans. We bonded over RWBY, RvB, and AH. I have never had an easier time striking up a conversation with someone (because usually they initiated it, merch is a god send) and now I feel like I have made some life long friends. I am so excited to celebrate #RT12Years and to give thanks to the company that has gotten me through so many hard times and made me feel like a part of their community. Thank you guys!

RT is expanding so much, and I know that it will always be a part of my life. Whether its RvB, watching the new Laser Team movie, seeing what shenanigans the AH crew comes up with, or one day introducing my future children to what RT stands for, RT will continue to be in my life.

In all seriousness though, congrats on 12 amazing years, and here’s to many more to come
