It's so incredibly surreal to me that #RWBY9's finale just aired. It's been in production in some form or another since mid-2020, which is easily the longest I've ever worked on something before it aired.

I'll be honest, I was really scared of what everyone would think. (1/9)

Not because I ever doubted it, I knew early on that it was special, but because it meant so much to me.

Imposter syndrome is a core theme of the volume and is something that I struggle with *every* single day.

I've never felt good enough. I constantly doubt my choices (2/9)

But sometime during making this vol, something clicked for me.

I started being kinder to myself. I tried to focus on the positive more. I started truly believing others when they complimented me (or at least trying, it's a process)

I started realizing that I was enough. (3/9)

And that was all possible thanks to the incredible people that I get to work with. The team behind this show are some of the nicest, supportive, and most genuine people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting in my life. And I owe them a lot. (4/9)

I say all of this because I know that I'm not alone. It's genuinely not easy to love or even like yourself.

I hope if you've ever felt that way, that Ruby's journey this volume meant something extra special to you. Because it did to me.

And if you need to hear it: (5/9)

You are enough.
Just the way you are.

❤️🤍🖤💛

I am so so so proud of this volume. Of the incredible work that the writers, directors, actors, producers, and every single artist put into it.

Even though this volume was made almost entirely from home, there was no less heart that went into it. (7/9)

And we're not done yet! Next Tuesday we're releasing our first *feature*!!!

We also hope that we can bring you Volume 10 sooner rather than later (we'd love to talk @Crunchyroll😉)
(8/9)

Thank you all for watching and supporting us. Your kindness means more than you know ❤️ (9/9)
