One year on · 2:01pm Feb 1st, 2016
One year ago today, I was sitting in a police car doing a career shadow day. I was having fun, missing school, the whole nine yards. While waiting for my supervising officer to check someone in at the county jail, I decided to pull my phone out and check the interwebz.
That's when I heard that the world had lost a legend.
Monty had a vision, a plan. RWBY was and is his. But he will never see how it ends. Never see how beautiful it has become in its third season. Never see how much of a hit it became in Japan. Never see Netflix pick it up.
Monty was an inspiration for countless people, whether they knew him for Roosterteeth or Dead Fantasy. His work was responsible for hundreds, maybe even thousands of artists making beautiful art or writing wonderful stories or putting together amazing cosplays.
But it isn't a time to be sad. Rather, it is a time for celebration. A celebration of Monty's life and how much of an impact his work had on all of us.
We miss you Monty
"Keep moving forward"
