I'm really excited for #DEATHBATTLE to show everyone just how awesome Buffy the Vampire Slayer is (both character and series)

It doesn't surprise me that a chunk of the demographic isn't familiar with it, I only am because of my dad. But man, they're ABOUT to get familiar 🦇👊

Ok so apparently I lost my Team Boomstick role on the #DEATHBATTLE Discord somehow? I know for sure I picked it up after the roles were reset like a week ago

Oh well, that sucks 😐

So now I hear #DEATHBATTLE is doing their own trivia competition for Champions Island?

You bet I'll be there for that 😎

The Rappter @therappter.bsky.social · Apr 16

Aside from hitting 10K subs at the end, running this #DEATHBATTLE trivia game live was an insanely fun time. Huge thanks to everyone who came to play, it means a lot to see y'all take an interest

Oh and seeing @jumpnjetz.bsky.social and @galaxyvideomax.bsky.social pop in and play was crazy cool 😂👊

Oh and another opinion to add onto this

If being a fan of a #DEATHBATTLE fighter means you're just trying to scale "your goat" to oblivion to justify them winning, you don't truly understand that character

Part of being a fan is recognizing their limitations too, not just what makes them powerful

Don't worry, it's probably not as bad as you think 😅 time to get controversial with some #DEATHBATTLE takes/opinions! I'm sure it'll go over just fine 👊

I've now completely mapped out a fan made #DEATHBATTLE Tournament Of Champions that I hope to host live on the YouTube channel in a few weeks or so (twice as big as the official one 😆)

Now it's just a matter of finding the right bracket website that will format it how I want. Surprisingly hard lol

I will get something else in due time, but honestly I couldn't be happier right now

Don't be afraid to leave something that treats you unfairly or is overall shitty for your mental health/happiness. It's not worth it, and you don't owe anyone anything 👊

I legit had a whole video script ready to record tomorrow for my most wanted characters for #DEATHBATTLE Champions Island, but now we know all the 32 characters being considered for it and it's very pointless now 😭😂

Maybe I can rework it into a general "Most Wanted DB Combatants" video or something

Admittedly, I was beaten to the punch on doing this idea first, bit in any case...

Instead of a skull, have Ruby's soul for this update to the Fallen of Independent Death Battle!

@deathbattle.gg #DEATHBATTLE #DeathBattleCast #SaveDEATHBATTLE #SavedDEATHBATTLE #Art #FanArt

A version of Death Battle's "First Fallen" T-Shirt design, showcasing the skulls of all of Death Battle's Independent era episodes so far, with the latest addition being Ruby Rose.

I knew I had to do Ruby's addition as one of those miniature character souls seen in Soul Eater after I saw the fight's ending, but due to me being preoccupied with editing the (Miraheze) Death Battle Wiki, @AkAkumu43 on Twitter did the idea first (check it out here: https://x.com/AkAkumu43/status/1970448591891374421).

Regardless, while it IS very similar, I also made sure to make rhe design my own, like making Ruby's standing hair strand be the wispy top of Soul Eater Souls, adding one of her forehead bangs, and having rose petals surrounding her soul. I'm also happy with her expression has her looking at Tom's ghost in slight concern.
