Hey guys… There is some things I would like to say…
With a heavy heart, I thought it would be best to let you know if you didn't that Monty Oum, the creator of RWBY has passed away yesterday…
From what has been released to the press, Monty had a severe allergic reaction that caused him to slip into a coma and despite fighting with all his might, he eventually passed…
At this time I would like everyone to have a moment of silence for the death of a great man and leave a comment for him…
I would like to say that personally, I thought of Monty as a hero. I was going through a very dark time when I came across his works and they brought me out of my depression. In fact, RWBY is what inspired me to study into game design/animation and voice acting (and obviously write fan fiction).
A great man has passed too soon before his time and it is hard to accept… Trust me, I know… But together as a community, we can move past this.
I'm not asking us to forget about him, trust me, no one ever can. I am asking us to keep him alive in our hearts. He may not be with us anymore on this earth, but he will live on through his works and the stories we make.
I ask for all of us to pass on this message as a message of hope… As a Beacon of hope.
Yes, all lights might "flicker and die" but that is why we have the 'guardians of light'. Those 'guardians' are us…
Today we will stand as Hunters and Huntresses to defend those engulfed in the darkness. Our enemy? Depression, loss of hope, disbelief, denial, anger… Monty wouldn't want us to wallow in sadness of his death, so why would we let others do so?
I'm not trying to make light of his death, I myself still can't believe he is gone, but I believe I need to help in some way despite how heavy my heart weighs right now.
Please, everyone, get this message out there somehow. For those of you who do, will become my heroes as well. Please get this out there in any way you can! For those who need a friend in this time of need, do not be afraid to PM me. And please leave a review, that way people know they aren't the only ones to be grieving…
This message will be posted to all my stories…
In other news, the reason as to why all my stories have halted is because my computer with all my stories had died as well making them unsavealbe… However, they will not be abandoned even if I need to start all over again. Also I now have an Xbox 360 and now have GTA V and Minecraft for my PS3. My gamertag for Xbox is "Okami Kiba64" and my PSN is "Okami-Kiba64", friend me if you like.
Everyone please remember that "even in the darkness, small flames of hope will shine". Thank you all who have read this and have taken my words to heart. After all…what kind of Hunters and Huntresses would we be if we didn't stick together and work as a team? If we work together, I know we can make it through this. And I think I speak for everyone when I say…
"We love you Monty and we will miss you with all our heart… May your light guide us through the darkness."
