starscream: WHY must every bot be SOOO irritating? EVEN MORE THAN THEY USUALLY ARE. & THAT'S A SKY HIGH BAR . ..Why can't i just form my new cybertronian republic in peace. the only thing that could make this worse Besides megatron (because he's a Constant. ) is the totally asinine, in no way possible, abstract nightmare of being haunted by annoyingly-upbeat commentary that only i can hear.. thank primu-

the Heavenly Bee:

[oceanid-mother-dove]

The reason why I love Starbee (outside of the angst and how passive aggressive they’re to each other) is how both are so similar and they haven’t realized it yet

Sure, Bee all the time tells Star how they’re similar bc both of them tried to rule Cybertron and totally failed doing so, but also because they both mask their real personality or their real selves to the world.

Bee uses this friendly and “everything is alright” mask, he’s seen as someone who always trying to do good, who is the successor of Optimus, someone harmless, when in reality he’s someone capable of making wrong decisions, who has worries, someone even volatile and constantly angry or done with everyone. We actually saw of this side during RID, he was two seconds away from actively shooting someone and he has his bitch side

Star masks himself with this evil sona, the great Starscream who will stab you in the back at any given moment, the only thing he knows is to lie and manipulate others for his own benefit, he doesn’t care about anyone but himself and you shouldn’t trust him. In reality he’s someone, who unconsciously, cares so much (smth similar to Ratchet I think) he doesn’t want anyone to notice how vulnerable he actually is, how much he feels about everything, and how easily he is to break and how he needs someone else beside him so he doesn’t go crazy.

Both are faking what they’re, because the world told them that’s all they can be. They’re two-dimensional, with no chance of changing, with no chance of people seeing them as what they actually are.

I think that’s why I love them, both are fakers but when they’re together they don’t have to fake.

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

On the bright side, I'm glad to see the Carpathia getting talked about more!

[oceanid-mother-dove]

The carpathia is the ship that came to the titanics aid, distress signals were sent out and heard by two ships; the RMS carpathia and the SS California.

California was 20 miles away, and carpathia was 58 miles away. For some unknown to this day reason, the distress signals were ignored by the California, when she could have been there in 45 minutes at top speed.

The carpathia however, responded. The radio operator insisted on waking captain Arthur Henry Rostron, who ordered all his crew out of bed to prepare the carpathia for an extra 2000 passengers.

The carpathia did something that is most commonly described as diverting all power from life support, which means taking power from heating, cooling, luxury’s, and putting it to speed to get to the titanic as fast as possible.

The carpathia got there in 3 hours when it should have taken 4. She was going at 17 knots when she’s meant to go at 15 knots, by all means she should have exploded.

Upon arriving at the titanics location, they only saw life boats, the titanic had sunk 2 hours ago.

Despite the crew preparing for 2000 extra passengers, they could barely handle the 700 that made it.

Many passengers aboard the carpathia gave up their rooms, blankets, and even extra clothes to the freezing survivors, but still many had to huddle up in the ships commons.

The carpathia docked in New York on April 18, four days after the titanic went down on the 14th. At the port the titanic was heading to but never made it

Starbee commission piece!

[oceanid-mother-dove]

Thinking about this line from the Transformers Annual. Instead of saying “me!” or being defensive, Bumblebee says “nice people”—even though perhaps back in the time Optimus and Pyra were talking about, Bumblebee was likely being genuine. However this line denotes that at least at this point in time, saying things like that is a conscious decision to be “nice”. It’s a conscious facade, and part of why Bumblebee works so well with Starscream in phase 2–they’re both stuck between who other people perceive them as, and who they are and become as they heal post war. As they do their best to unite neutrals, autobots, and decepticons, or colonists and cybertronians. Part of why they both end up failing to lead is BECAUSE their reputations precede them in such a way, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still push towards their wish to see Cybertronian become home once more, and being able to be themselves and rest with each other. Bumblebee and Starscream are a lot more alike than many people—both within and outside of canon—think.

i love knowing pokemon lore but just like choosing to ignore it half the time, especially regarding legendaries and mythicals.

type: null? the creature literally designed to hunt and kill interdimensional beasts? that’s just a little doggy.

urshifu? that martial arts master with two diverse, powerful styles? big ol’ teddy bear. we also never did figure out what “distant region” kubfu was from btw.

calyrex? the literal god of nature/farmland revered to a level of having his own temple? that’s just a funky rabbit guy with horsies (and glastrier and spectrier, the deceased and revived mounts in service to this minor god are just that: just horsies), but that one i can blame on his questline.

ogerpon? the ogre that single-handedly killed three brainwashed creatures and was the feared subject of a local legend? silly little girl. like. that’s an actual child.

terapagos? the thing that can turn into an eldritch horror and completely uproot the elemental type system all pokemon are centered around on a whim and can manipulate time and space and with the player causes a paradox that makes us technically responsible for the death of one of our companion’s parents who is then replaced by an AI made in their image and almost cause the absolute destruction of paldea’s ecosystem? i nicknamed mine “scrunkly”.
