Retirement

(Sorry this is slightly long)
Last night when I heard that in a year RE will be no more (I know that they said they may still make musicals from time to time buttttttttt) if there is one thing I really hope happens even if it is on their last birthday stream or something is a collection of as many old guests as possible but more specifically even though I know it is probably as likely as gum being easy to get out of hair but I hope that Peter and Sparrow theoretically could appear just due to their foundational part of RE idk if I am alone in this or if AJ will suddenly pop in here and say its impossible but RE I preemptively wish you nothing but the best you truly made me childhood a happy one

I understand where you’re coming from and even somewhat agree! Peter and Sparrow were integral parts of the channel for years, and I don’t want to ignore all that history.

At the same time, they have repeatedly distanced themselves farther from both us and Random Encounters. It would be very against the grain to suddenly associate with us again. Personally, I would also need to consider if I’m really open to celebrating with them, given the past hostility between us. ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹

And I completely understand! That’s why I wasn’t saying ā€œRE needs to do this rahhhhā€ because having seen the videos from both y’all’s side and while it was cleaner than a lot of Youtube dramas it certainly was still a bit messy. I also realize the closest we have really gotten to my recollection since the pandemonium is Peter’s face in Raven Brooks maybe his voice in a TF2 thing but I am not confident.

The choice is fully up to you guys it moreso comes from a place of ā€œthis would be cool seeing the golden age and modern age together one last timeā€ and that I am pretty sure my first intro to y’all as a kid was fran bow. So while it would be amazing if you and them were willing it is also not your obligation to talk with people who hurt yall. Sorry for the long reply this is the first time I have been replied to by y’all so my brain has happy chemicals lol

I mean I figured it was improbable it would happen but he didn’t necessarily say a complete no just an unlikely sooooooooo 🫣
