So hey, whatcha know about that?
Canon trans May Marigold confirmation on screen!
As Kerry and I mentioned on Stay Zen, this was always the plan and May being a transwoman is something that predates my being cast.
Ya love to see it.

The past week has been wild & I expect it to get even more so.
RWBY & RWBYSpoilers were trending on Twitter & Tumblr off and on with posts of May’s moment in the RWBY tags ALL WEEK.
RWBY was actually TOP trending on Tumblr last Saturday with the May posts taking top spot.

You could say I was more than overwhelmed, I definitely wanted to start reblogging and retweeting all the art and such IMMEDIATELY but... ya know, spoilers.
I waited a year and a half for this moment, what’s another week?
Prepare your feeds I’m retweeting ALL of it today!

I say “I waited a year and half for this moment,” but I’ve been waiting my whole life.
I’ve never seen anything like this & only DREAMED of something so wildly powerful & meaningful existing in media.
More than that I’m the one who was blessed enough to get the chance to do it.

To get a bit personal, I’ve mentioned “my entire heart is in V8” and I think people finally understand why.
And, yes, this was the episode that got me crying for hours after we recorded it.
I was actually crying while delivering the lines for this, it was a lot for me.

Everything there hit so close to home for me that I requested those lines be saved for last in that session.
The CRWBY sound team, and the director of that session @pterodactyltyme, being amazingly supportive absolutely said “of course.”

When we finally got to those lines the team kept checking & asking if I was okay to do another take. It was an emotional session for me & the love and care taken even in these VO sessions meant everything.
When I say I love CRWBY & that they care so deeply, I absolutely mean it.

You all saw it & I hope you felt it was real, was raw, and was powerful.
I poured my soul into the performance because I figured if this was my one and only shot to make this happen... I had to make it count.
Paired up with @kiersi’s amazing writing, I feel we did a great job.

As someone who is trans, this was everything I ever dreamed of seeing.
As someone who saw her VO career burst into flames after coming out, this was a moment of triumph.
As myself... this was my heart put on display for the world.
This was everything to me.

This is where I thank @eddyrivas, @kiersi, @kerryshawcross, @TheMilesLuna, and every member of CRWBY ( @OfficialRWBY) for how much care they put into May Marigold and how much love and support was given to me.
None of this would have been possible without every single person on the team being as open and kind as they are.
I love you all, thank you for always listening.

To the FNDM and #RTCommunity?
You have no idea how much all the posts in support of May mean to me.
Seeing all the posts, the fanart, the fancams, the countless messages...
My heart is full of joy every time I see them!
That much support for a trans character!? Blows my MIND!

And to those of you who’ve messaged me privately saying how much this meant to you?
That this has helped you realize who you are?
That this gave you the courage to come out?
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU ALL!
And I’ll keep working harder for you all, for myself, and for everyone.

From the bottom of my heart, and heck on behalf of May Marigold herself, thank you.
I am so deeply humbled by everyone’s response.
The weight of this moment has been on my mind consistently throughout the year... we don’t GET moments like this.
I hope I did a good enough job.

To wrap it up, I’ll say it again.
As the voice of May Marigold I’m here to confirm: Yes, May IS Henry Marigold’s cousin.
But far more importantly, May is the very first onscreen trans character, confirmed in the show, for RWBY!
Can ya believe it?
