in all seriousness it's very alienating knowing theres Something Wrong With You. like seeing your mental illness come through in your behaviour and thought processes and knowing it's irrational and unhealthy, knowing other people are reading you as weird or stupid, and not being able to do anything about it is such a lonely experience

anybody paying attention saw the rise in conservatism among the youth over the last few years. the return of the r slur, modesty/ tradwife content, rampant fatphobia, misogynistic twitch streamers...the writing was on the wall

One of the most interesting parts of this series is experiencing one of the first pieces of media that try to present Transformers as more than just a toys commercial. The creative team is genuinely trying to give depth to this bonkers concept and that makes it for a really cool read.

the autism thing of having to learn to preface every question you ask with Holy Shit I'm Just Curious Please Dont Yell At Me because it turns out a lot of questions seem to Mean Something and people will get mad if you ask them

It's NOT tradition for Bumblebee to get his throat ripped out! Are you stupid?!

*spider-man ps2 voice* Oh no, my tumblr asks... I got so caught up in what I was doing I forgot all about them... They're gonna kill me...

My reaction when I see people new to the TF fandom say they're researching what a character, relationship, or even an entire continuity is like by reading popular fanfics:

hello again whats your opinion on Human versions of Transformers characters (both canon and fanon)? Is there a specific character or characters you see a certain way? :)

I’m not sure if my last ask sent but whatevs I am not typing that much again lmaooo

#gl

Whoops sorry! That ask is sitting in my inbox I just forgot to answer it. I'll answer it sooner or later, my bad, I can procrastinate.

So, it's funny, I actually am not really that much into human designs of Transformers. The main appeal to me in the robot franchise is the robots. I mean, fanon, there's a lot of different interpretations of characters, but a lot of times I will look at a human design and go "They would NOT look like that." Canon can be hit or miss, but usually kind of sauceless. But also bear in mind, I like robot characters, so I am biased.

Sometimes I will see human designs I will like, but that's few and far between.

It just... rarely seems right. That's probably a me problem though. I had this problem when I liked Star Wars too and people would make human designs for the droids. It never seemed right

Usually I think they should be bulkier/try to match the design of their robot counterparts. Apologies haha!

skyfire in the new tf gogo comic not beating the sealtok gyuuu fandom allegations

[nervousspacerobot]

I loved TFOne and thought the designs were nice, imo it’d be fun to see a show or maybe even shorts focusing on the characters used in the backgrounds. I just want to see more of them! A sequel would be amazing… I love when VAs enjoy the character they play. Skybound Jazz is fun, and Skybound is fun but some of these later issues are kinda … mid? (Not bad just average) They’re fine and the art is nice but I’m not such a big fan of the direction they’ve taken and preferred it more in the beginning.

Being a fan of obscure characters can sure be rough a?

I adore the Earthspark characters and would love to see them reappear sometime because I believe they have lots of charm. Twitch and Nightshade are maybe my favorites.

I know some female characters reappear more in IDW 2005 comics, but especially when it comes to mainstream stories I would like to see them (´ｰ｀) I think they have been a lot better recently in their incorporation of female characters.

Seeing a price of life Ratchet and Megatron figure would be so amazing haah

Have you seen the Earthspark new season/part 2 trailer yet?

:) #gl

Exactly! I really like to see that most of the cast is excited about this movie and I do feel like the people who worked on it were really passionate about Transformers in general (except for the marketing team, hah)

I do like Skybound Jazz, but I don't see enough of him imo. I agree, it feels like the comic is slumping a bit (I'm going to be honest, Starscream's sad backstory did not make me care about him more.) (But Starscream is complicated for me because I see him in canon works and I'm like YES! THE BITCH! But the more fandom takes I see on him and the more sympathetic they try to make him, the less I care about him? I mean, I sympathize with him enough, but the more I see from the fandom, the more I'm tired of him idk. Love him in canon though most of the time.)

Being a fan of obscure characters can be rough, but hey, at least the writers don't remember them enough to kill them instantly.

I do really love the Terrans! It's really cool to see Nightshade be like WRITTEN as nonbinary in this show. Like it's there, you can't remove it. I wonder if the chaos Terrans are like... Like are they just... y'know?

Haven't read THAT much of IDW, I have to because I want to, but I've heard the really good and really bad of it.

Have seen the Earthspark trailer! I am excited. I hope the episodes turn out alright and this series ends in a bang. Bit worried about how it'll all work out though! Happy to see Prowl! I hope he's just a normal guy in this one. (Bit tired of IDW Prowl sullying the names of every other Prowl ever), but I'm pretty excited!

(Also I'm almost done with the response to that strawpage gimmick. I wanted to do I screenshot redraw and I'm doing that but I got in too deep with the effort haha)

Nice to hear from you as always!
