Wow guys, I gotta be honest, I thought I was all out of tears when it came to Penny. :( But this reaction reopened the wound in the best and worst way lol!!! Special thanks to Sirs & Madams for assembling this awesome video, providing notes, and being all-around cool :D The lyrics really made me emotional and I think they were PERFECT!!! I also really appreciate all the little details of the artwork, and am OBSESSED with the style of it!!!! I miss Penny and I think this song - lyrics, vocals, instruments, cool lyrics provided by Sirs & Madams, and complimentary artwork by AG Nonsuch - was the perfect way to honor her :) Enjoy!! ~ MH

What makes this song even sadder is that Penny likely died thinking Ruby was dead.

[@ojojoestar]

Thinking that she will at least be with the one person who treated her like a human being and showed her what it means to have and be a friend. Poor penny, now Jaune has to break the news to Ruby. Ruby lost penny once and now she has to live through that again :(

[@Dylan-pq3ny]

I remember when I first watched the finale I was in such shock that I couldn't cry at Penny's death. But as soon as this song started and I realised what it was about, I broke down in tears. And like many rwby songs I still cry every time I hear it

[@elnys9141]

Exactly. Well, to be fair, i was in shock and was like, after the end of the episode, totally broken. Unable to think. Then, i went to the lyric video. And i broke down in tears too.

[@TheAngelofFate17]

Penny’s friendship with Ruby is the most wholesome one in the show. Most people ship Nuts & Dolts but honestly this song (to me at least) just shows just the pure friendship they had together, they care about the other. And it’s all just really wholesome

[@angstypancake]

“Protectors of each other” really says it all because isnt that what they did throughout the entire time they knew each other. Truly a beautiful friendship.

[@The_Noise_Marine]

Most people didn’t realize it was a penny song until the hugs line but I knew as soon as the piano started playing the protector of mantle leitmotif. Probably my favorite leitmotif in the entire show alongside the arkos one. No surprise then that my favorite 2 rwby songs are forever fall and friend

[@angstypancake]

SAME THE LEITMOTIF STARTED PLAYING AND I SMILED

[@zoeholmes4939]

what makes her death even WORSE (somehow) is that her father never got to see her as a 'real girl' and that she died thinking Ruby was dead.

[@jeffreysmith236]

they did play that entire song during the credits. And I believe one reason she was good with her sacrifice is because she had already lost Ruby. And she had not been real long enough to get attached to it. And she had already died once and then got another life, so she truly felt blessed.

[@MigliLovania]

i love how the song brings me back to their first meeting in volume 1

[@unicornburger16]

As you’ve probably learned by now that the little duck is AG Nonsuch’s trademark, it’s in basically everything they draw.

[@SoraYagami02]

Oh god.... the hurt, the feels again.... I havent hurt like this since Volume 3... I was already in shock when i watched for the first time but then this song came at the credits and i just cried and cried...

[@rabbitbeargaming2441]

I cried on this song and forever fall

[@jeffreysmith236]

Yes, Sirs and Madams are very cool, and you had to work very hard to elevate yourself above the Cheryl Watch Party from them, but you did. Thank you very much.

[@BuzryHaproMandalorianHunter]

That travel pack tissues isn’t enough.

[@angstypancake]

“I heard a song once, it posed this point of view, that wishes made on stars are likely to come true” “When you wish upon a star, Makes no difference who you are, Anything your heart desires Will come to you.” Goddammit jeff and casey are so poetically good song writers

[@JohnNeedsALife]

This song is what made me like the finale. When I first watched it I was too salty about what happened, but I listened to the song enough times and it changed my mind

[@jonjohns8145]

Sirs and Madams Also put out an Original Song that is a follow up to "Boop" called "Boop Too" .. It's very adorable and well done. Check it out.

💜

[@barongrasse2296]

I'm so glad you chose this video. It has the perfect art for the song😍 Sirs and Madams Entertainment actually did an original song that based off of Boop from RWBY, I think you reacting to it would be perfect

[@richmonddaryllomot1551]

I hope you have good life and you know it's never that bad to be different to anyone

[@BGTitanAvatar]

This song is just too sweet. And also just a gut punch considering all that happened just before it.

[@doryinsanime6862]

I was crying in this music video and this show ending. I’m sad Penny is gone and it broke me. Penny is Heroic to me.

[@marieporter9488]

THIS. SONG. HUUUUUUUURTS

[@BuzryHaproMandalorianHunter]

No amount of senzu beans, Aloe vera, or a glass of orange juice will help heal us.

[@Scaring-Crows]

*Sees thumbnail* Me: Oh this is gonna be rough

[@KitsyX]

Damnit, I cried again too >_

[@richmonddaryllomot1551]

Thank you thank you for showing me it's better to have anyone. Thankyou

[@nasimmason]

This is one of my favourite songs. It's so pretty.

[@carm_ar]

this song really made me sob way too much tbh 😐✋

[@midnight9296]

I just had a though for whatever reason this just came to mind what is Ruby’s reaction when she finds out that Penny is gone again and how it was all Cinder’a fault AGAIN oh boy that’s going to be interesting cause if we think about she just got one of her closet friends back from the dead cause at the time they and we didn’t know it f penny could come back as our penny the penny that we knew and loved the robot that’s could generate an aura that had a soul to do so than to her being killed for an example than being able to meet her again as the same penny after like a year maybe (can someone clarify if possible) and to go on mission and to grow there friendship stronger now for Penny to be mortally wounded by Cinder cause that power hungry brat wanted the winter maiden powers and for Penny to turn to Jaun to mercy kill her so the power can go to winter so Penny dies again by the hands of someone close to Ruby AGAIN (this case Jaun last case Pyrrha) caused by Cinder A FCKENING AGAIN I can’t wait for Ruby loose her mind and go nuts on Cinder that would be amazing to see

[@JaniceMarieAudio]

Wait, so what was the real reason that Penny died?

[@brandynorby6657]

You should do a reaction to the Volume 9 Sneak Peak/Teaser Trailer!! I would love to hear your thoughts on it! It is super amazing and really gives us a really intense and amazing view over what we can expect

[@marie-evesimard725]

This is a very good song, but it hurts a lot the first few times. Jeff and Casey are really good at breaking our hearts, but in a good way?

[@jeffreysmith236]

you do not need to explain because I will already know when I watch your Gen:LOCK 8 reaction.

[@mets2128]

We miss you Penny

[@antobono64]

For me it wasn't all that sad for me because of how many times penny died in the series and the fact that I knew she can be rebuilt

[@lfz4611]

I just hate that Penny died so stupidly

[@BuzryHaproMandalorianHunter]

It was the only way to prevent Cinder from getting the power.
