#( i found this finished in my drafts lol )

[bulbabutt]

i think its weird that arcee is like. a core member of transformers groups now, cuz it makes her stick out like a sore thumb being the token girl when at the time she wasnt exactly supposed to be? she was part of the second generation of characters (even though I know the movie was being made first)

like it seems like modern stuff tries to do this with her

which just shows off how much that design doesnt fit and comes off like it was made to be "i am THE girl. you need no more girls we have made the one girl”

but when she was actually designed to match the movie crew, a bunch of more futuristic (the far off year of 2005) cybertronian vehicle transformers with her rounded shapes and pastel colours and she isnt even the only pink one because hot rod is also pink, albeit a much darker pink

(leaving ultra magnus out cuz he was designed to be a brick holding optimus doesnt count)

the point like yeah shes still the only girl but its less egregious when you look at what she was actually supposed to match. i dont think shes designed perfectly but i think its weird that because shes the most recognizable girl transformer she has to be pulled away from her crew and forced into a group she doesnt share the design philosophy of (let alone for her character its sad like... are those not her friends? she’s not allowed to hang out with her own friends anymore cuz she’s the only girl who’s marketable? sad)

it’s extra weird when you realize there’s this crew who were the original girl transformers shown on screen

they’re not perfect either but I like that they have the same busy more squared off shapes and more strong colours, and I just think if they got added in arcees place you could have a less skewed view gender binary for the robots

there’s also the part where it would be cool to have more than one girl in a group, but again arcee with her iconic leia space buns head fits in aesthetically better with the movie crew

[eveningrainstorm]

People often talk about Rio Ranger as if he's the doll version of Sei but what I find super fascinating is that he isn't, not in the same way Fake Reko or the Dummies are replications of their human counterparts.

Ranger resembles Sei on a surface level — same physical appearance, just an unclear amount older; same way of speaking. But he is unmistakably different. Ranger is an incomplete being, missing his positive emotions, but even the true Ranger is Rio Laizer rather than Sei, because there's still something different.

Rio Ranger is, fundamentally, inhuman and yet desperate to be human. He was created to be jealous of humanity and despite his hatred for them, humanity is what he is always striving for. But it is something that he doesn't possess, and is forced to steal instead. He takes clothes from the dead and uses drawings on cards to feign emotion; he is the Dress-Up Doll, Rearranger, not possessor of anything of his own.

While the other dolls based on humans in the game have identity issues based on their personhood being defined by someone else, being merely a copy of another person, Ranger is not even allowed Sei's identity to base himself on — it's very likely he doesn't even know who Sei was. He does not have Sei's clothes — nondescript and tied to Asunaro as they are — and he does not have the capacity for expressing emotion that Sei had.

When comparing Ranger and Sei in terms of personality, differences are obvious. There are similarities, naturally — besides the abrasive way of speaking, there's the jealousy and desire for validation. But in Ranger, these are present to an extreme — they're all he has. (And, ironically, this is what Gashu claims to believe makes him so human, even when Ranger's inhumanity comes through most clearly in this lack of anything else.)

In Sei, on the other hand, these traits are tempered by logic, to put things in YTTD's beloved logic vs. emotion dichotomy. Despite his outwardly emotional nature, from what we see of him he appears realistic and focused on survival in a way that Kai isn't. He's aggressive and overly casual about killing people, but he doesn't express the glee at violence that Ranger does, only a fierce desire to prove himself and survive. Sei is jealous of Kai and desires Gashu's affection, but also has an understanding of the situation he's in that both Kai and Ranger lack — he can tell that Gashu doesn't care about him as much as he does Kai, and recognizes that the way Gashu treats both of them is wrong. Ranger believes Gashu truly loves him, a fact proven blatantly false by his eventual demise at Gashu's hands. Ironically, this blindness is more similar to Kai as we see him in his minisode, rather than Sei.

Of course, this understanding isn't simply a part of Sei's basic nature, but rather the fact that unlike Kai and Ranger, he has past experience to go on. Sei wasn't born into the Satou family — though his exact origins are unclear, based on his grief for his birth father and how he talks about Asunaro ("all this shady organization crap"), it's possible he wasn't even born into Asunaro at all. Before being sent to Gashu, he had his own father, one who we don't know anything about but whom he apparently loved. He doesn't accept Gashu's treatment of him and Kai the way Kai does because he has known a different father and a different way of life. This doesn't free him from Asunaro's influence — he still accepts the role of assassin they give him and resigns himself to becoming a killer. What choice does he have, after all? But he carries no illusions about Asunaro or his role in it. He knows that the training is cruel, that he is viewed only as a tool, that Asunaro is wrong even if they are also not worth resisting.

This is a major part of why Ranger isn't Sei, why he cannot be; because Asunaro is all Ranger knows. They are his creators, who he was literally built to serve. In Ranger's mind, he is not only Gashu's son and heir, but his creation, his masterpiece. And of course he wouldn't have been created with Sei's memories — why take that risk? Why give him any sort of knowledge of a life outside Asunaro or reason to be disloyal to them?

Ranger is not Sei — so why model Ranger after him? Because Ranger is the idea of Sei, what Sei was meant to be: a counterpart to Kai, a rival, a second choice. Gashu preferred Kai, once; Kai won out over Sei. But Kai has proven himself a failure and betrayed Asunaro, leaving Gashu with no choice but turn once more to Kai's long-dead competition. Ranger is, like Sei, the opposite of Kai, temperamental and vulgar while Kai is stoic and polite, and perhaps more importantly, capable of murder while Kai steadfastly is not.

And yet Ranger isn't Sei. Sei was jealous of those — specifically Kai — he saw as superior or at least as being treated as such; Ranger is this idea taken to its natural conclusion. Sei had lost everything he had outside of Asunaro; Ranger never had anything else to begin with. Sei was a human; Ranger will never be, doomed to forever long otherwise. Ranger is Sei only in the ways Sei was useful — desperate for recognition, willing to kill, a perfect rival to Kai — but something entirely different, an inhuman machine, in all the ways Sei was a liability.

Sei was human, and he knew that he deserved to have that fact respected. Ranger isn't human and gets only the wanting, desperate to be as good as a human even humanity itself is unattainable. Of course, it isn't being a doll that is actually Ranger's problem — it's Asunaro, who view humans and dolls alike as disposable. Sei's humanity didn't make him any less of a tool as far as Asunaro was concerned, it only made him more difficult to control. All Sei wanted was to be seen as an equal to Kai, a person worthy of respect — and this is what he gets, in the end: his face and voice used as a base for one of Asunaro's weapons, while his true identity and personhood remains forgotten.

Ranger has nothing to hold him back from doing his duty for Asunaro, nor does he have anything to hold onto outside of it. In that sense, Ranger is an ideal asset for Asunaro — at least until the very jealousy and hatred Gashu programmed into him goes too far, and he is, once again, deemed a failure. Ironically, Gashu shoots Ranger for attempting to kill a participant, when willingness to kill was perhaps the one true advantage Sei had over Kai.

In the end, Ranger is offered no more humanity in his death than Sei is — they are both merely pawns of Asunaro, set to die at its whims. But while Sei dies in the arms of his brother, receiving one final act of kindness as Kai refuses to kill him, Ranger has no one in either of his deaths but his creators: in his death as Rio Laizer the dubious kindness of Tia Safalin, making his final moments full of agonizing guilt, and of course in his first death, as Rio Ranger, nothing but Gashu's coldness, the bullet in his head a sort of culmination to the favoritism Sei found weighed against him, and a demonstration of just how far Gashu has come from the father who once genuinely cared for Sei. Sei was human, Ranger was not, but as far as Asunaro is concerned, they are exactly the same: tools, easily thrown away as soon as they stop being useful.

Short fic ideas? Lockwood finding out about Kipps and Jessica? I think he has a bit of a Ross freak out? Or he takes it well-ish by Lockwood standards not sure would love to see your take?!

hi thanks for the ask!! :D locked room spoilers under cut!!

edit from future me who found this in her drafts: this is probably bad 🥰🥰🥰

Lockwood, by rule, rarely went through the drawers in Jessica's room. Never except for when he got her necklace to give to Lucy, or when he was feeling nostalgic, or when he couldn't find something and he had no idea where else to look... Okay, maybe he did more than he thought. Whatever. Lockwood was never one for rules anyway.

Either way, though, it was always the same safe photos that he really moved. One with him sitting on her lap, one of him rubbing his nose against hers (both of them very young in these and, according to Lockwood, quite adorable) and a few others, including ones with his parents. These were in a folder, but next to said folder was a small cardboard box decorated with stickers and a sharpied phrase: 'JESSICA'S PICTURES!!!'

Underneath this was a picture taped to the lid: Jessica, himself, and a stuffed giraffe Lockwood insisted on getting in the shot. Lockwood was squinting at the flash. Jessica was laughing. The stuffed girrafe made no expression change, as stuffed giraffes do.

Lockwood found himself with this box in his hand today.

He slowly, as he had done many times before, unfolded the lid of the box. What was inside was no surprise: a stack of Polaroids taken by Jessica herself. He flipped through them, revealing photos of her in various poses, himself caught in the middle of doing something-- wide eyed as he ate a cookie, lining up apples he picked from their tree. There were photos of them together and friends he hardly ever saw; school friends.

Obviously nothing new. He shut the box.

As he moved to put the box back in the drawer, he heard a muffled shout from somewhere across the hall.

"Lockwood!" Lucy yelled. "Lockwood! There's someone at the door and I don't want to get it! George is in the bathroom, and I'm not going in there..."

He jumped. He dropped the box. Pictures fell everywhere.

"Shit," he breathed.

He didn't have to hide the contents of this room anymore. he didn't have to act like it was never opened. Jessica's room certainly wasn't a secret anymore, but he always did get pitying looks when he went inside, so he liked to keep his visits a secret.

Lockwood cursed again. And then, louder, called back, "Who is it? If it's not Arif's girl, tell them to go away!"

Lockwood scrambled to pick up the photos, biting his lip. After they were all back in a stack, he reached for the mildly damaged box. It was slightly dissasembled and-- wait.

Underneath the bottom flap was another photo, bent in two. Lockwood had never seen it before; it must have been knocked loose from the fall. Slowly, shakily, he pulled it free. He straightened it. He held it up to the light.

Jessica was smiling in it, making a mock kissy face at the camera. Her arm was around a boy about a full head shorter than her, red haired and scrawny. He smiled bashfully.

A boy friend? Lockwood thought. He searched back in his memory. Yes, he did remember her having a few male acquaintances, although their faces were foggy and they had no names. And then an even worse thought occurred to him: a boyfriend? And wait.

Something tugged at the back of his mind, something he thought of as soon as he saw the picture but didn't want to acknowledge, hoping he was perhaps mistaken: He recognized this boy. This boy was Quill Kipps.

And he was with his sister. And they looked happy.

How?

He dropped the photo. He bolted through the door. He dashed towards the phone. His mind reeled with questions.

"Lucy, George, if you are planning on using any phones in this house for the next ten minutes, no you are not! It is mine for the foreseeable future!"

"Your voice sounds weird," George called from the bathroom, ignoring everything else. "All wobbly and stuff. Don't tell me you're scared of Barnes or something."

Lockwood blinked. He stopped dialing. "Shut up!" Lockwood yelled back. "No, it doesn't! And I am not!"

"I bet you're doing that hand thing too."

"What hand thing?" he sputtered. "Am not! Leave me be!"

"Oh," George cooed, "Someone's cranky!" The toilet flushed, and the faucet sounded for an unsatisfyingly short amount of time. Lockwood hit dial and held the phone to his ear.

"Hello?" Kipps asked over the phone.

Lockwood squeaked. "Hi." He did not answer with any further human words. He couldn't.

"Eep."

"What?"

Lockwood hung up. He was probably going to die.

to be continued lol, I found this in my drafts and didn't want to leave it to die so take this.

[mekatrio]

got reminded of jins wretched tweets so instead of acknowledging them i will write down myyyy future mkd headcanons, set 2 years after the ending in a perfect utopia where they dont keep their powers

ayano: working towards getting her highschool diploma, still unsure of whether she'll pursue higher education, and what field she would pursue. works as an assistant teacher at a local kindergarten, and lives w the mekatrio + mary in their old home

kido: currently finishing up her highschool education via whatever alternative method she was doing back when she lived w the tateyamas (likely some non-standard tutoring for special needs kids). is also taking music lessons from shintaro, specifically for bass guitar and piano. works part-time at a music store in order to challenge her anxiety, bc she wants to pursue a degree in music once she graduates hs

seto: not pursuing education. got a full-time job at a flower shop, and volunteers often at an animal shelter. is thinking about volunteering at a zoo.

kano: finishing his hs education the same way as kido. is thinking abt following ayaka's footstep and pursuing a degree in anthropology/archeology. has taken kido's role as the primary homemaker, much to the chagrin of mary (they spend more time together now, meaning mary gets teased by him more. but she fights back!)

mary: now that the people she lives with have resumed their education (kano and kido dropped out after ayano's death), mary also feels incline to study along with them. she has no plans to pursue education formally, but just by talking with them and looking at their materials, she also becomes more knowledgeable and curious abt the world. she works part time at the flowershop with seto, and accompanys him to the animal shelter sometimes. she also has short hair now!

momo: quit being an idol, and is just a regular highschool student again. hiyori and hibiya began attending the same school as her this year, and the three of them are good friends. shes thinking about pursuing fine arts in uni. it makes her extremely relieved and happy that there are people who love her art, even if she doesnt have any powers to attract them

takane: not pursuing education, and is taking it easy instead. her grandmother had sadly passed away while she was ene, due to the shock and grief of losing her granddaughter. takane moved into the hideout with haruka and shintaro. she does some freelance repair work, where people will remotely send in their broken items, and takane will send them back fully repaired. bc she was a computer program for 2 whole years, she now has an intuitive understanding of computer science, even if she cant turn into ene anymore. (and shes better with software than hardware, but she can do both). she also livestreams anonymously on the side to make a decent amount of cash. some people theorize that shes lightning dancer ene, which she vehemently denies. oh, and shes dating haruka!

shintaro: enrolled into an online university this year, and is working towards getting a degree in music. hes still very anxious, but he gets a lot of support from the mkd, which helps him a lot. to the joy of all the members, he Finally released a completed song. it didnt perform very well online, but hes ok with that. kido (and secretly takane and kano as well) are huge fans of this song. kido always hypes it tf up. hes currently working on completing an entire album. hes still too anxious to hold down a proper job, but he makes some decent cash from giving music lessons to kido. and hes in a 'will they wont they' situationship with ayano LOL (they "broke up" but still hv feelings... its messy. but ayano visits the three of them and stays over very often). and ofc he visits him mom and sister nearly every weekend

haruka: just like takane, hes also taking it easy. while takane chose not to reconnect with her parents, haruka decided to meet his father again. it was very emotional and heartwarming, haruka's father was a big help in helping haruka, takane, and ayano reestablish their legal identities + overturn their death certificates without getting the press involved (the cover story is that kenjirou had kidnapped them + faked their deaths). haruka's health still needs to be monitored, but his illness is no longer terminal. he is a freelance artist + photographer, and quest-stars on takane's streams every now and then 😁

hiyori: moved to the city with hibiya to attend highschool. her parents got her an apartment to stay at, but she also wrangled her parents into sponsoring/giving hibiya a place to stay as well, threatening them w something or the other (something like 'hibiya almost DIED that time so you have to let ME keep an eye on HIM') so they live in the same building lol. she visits ayano and her siblings frequently; after kenjirou's death, hiyori's parents met ayaka's children at the funeral.. it was awks but not in a super bad way. hiyori's parents are grateful that they took care of her during that summer, so they kinda look after them now too and arent as super estranged anymore. hiyori is thinking abt pursuing literature in uni after she graduates hs.

hibiya: scored a scholarship that allows him to study in the city (hiyori got this too). being in a timeloop has made him less fucking insane abt hiyori and now they are actual down to earth good friends. its nice. momo bullies him a lot at school but its whateves. hes thinking abt actually studying geography once hes in uni.. leaving his village for the first time that summer taught him that theres so little he knows abt the world, so he wants to learn about it as much as he can.

and some additional notes:

momo ended her career with a lot of fanfare, having a very successful farewell album, doing a farewell tour, taking loads of ads deals, etc, before finally pulling the plug. this all made a decent amount of money, money which continues to help her family out even 2 years later. shintaro moving out and living w harutaka also helps a lot too. also, she hangs out w the mekatrio + mary often

shintaro received a scholarship for his uni degree

kenjirou had set aside a good amount of savings for his children, which they currently still use to live off of. seto, mary, and ayano also make a decent amount of money combined which helps with living costs.

haruka, takane, and shintaro make a decent amount of money together... tho haruka's father gives his son a generous amount of money quite often, which the three of them use to sustain themselves haha

all in all, all of the mkd live comfortably, and visit each other frequently ^_^

[crazyalien87]

you do realize, since you had to be lucky to avoid misogyny, you are implying that having to deal with misogyny due to being female is the most common experience?

Also, that originial quote is from 1973. Not now. Obviously, women in LA probably had to deal with worse shit then compared to now. Besides, you've missed the point. The point is that women in general have to deal with lots of sexism, not that we all have the exact same experience. The point is that Robin Morgan thinks it is not fair to call someone a woman if they only can experience sexism from looking like a woman on the sidewalk, and not any of the other ways that only female-born women can experience sexism, e.g. growing up in a society that implys you are less due to being female, & there not being enough research into female-specific medical conditions such as PCOS.

support me through a one time tip<3

Whenever you'd tell someone you worked within the entertainment industry, – the music industry, to be precise – people always showed a little extra interest in your words, probably assuming you to be involved in the flashier aspects of it. The statement on it's own sounded exciting, enigmatic even. This would only then be followed by disappointed upon finding out your specific profession of choice, deeming it less exciting than most.

You were a manager. No, you were not an active member of the entertainment industry itself, but you were one of the many pillars necessary for the talent to create the entertainment people would always seek.

Being as young as you were, it had been hard to get to where you were so quickly. Networking had been your best friend all throughout your career, eventually landing you in your current role – one that would only open even more doors for you.

It had only been a week since you had received a call from your friend – an old friend from an internship who just so happened to be a former Hybe video producer – letting you know of a recent opening as one of the many managers at the company. Having been between gigs at the time, you jumped at the chance without a second thought. Hybe? The biggest entertainment company in Korea? You didn't need any details before agreeing.

It was a few days later in which you found out the details. The opportunity had been even more life-altering than you'd thought.

Originally, you had believed you'd end up becoming manager to one of the many brand new rookie groups in the growing company. With so many surging youth in the industry, it made sense to you that you'd be assigned such a role, not having had any prior experience within Hybe itself.

Except that wasn't the case. Having previously worked and interned at a few other South Korean entertainment companies through the years, it seemed like Hybe deemed you experienced enough to assign you the role of becoming a senior artist's manager.

Jeon Jungkook.

Senior artist had been an understatement. Those had been the words written in your contract, explaining your role in excruciating detail, yet failing to mention that your client would be Korea's most popular singer.

You couldn't lie, you were insanely intimidated by your new role. Despite being proudly skilled at your job, becoming the manager of an idol who had been in the game for longer than you'd even been out of college was a bit scary. Jungkook had gone from the absolute bottom to the top, he had most likely lived through it all by now – what kind of expertise could you offer someone who had already seen it all?

Being manager of an idol differed slightly from managing any other person. Idol companies usually handled the schedulings, bookings, and the legalities of their artists. As a manager, you somewhat took the role of a bodyguard. You were meant to show up everywhere Jungkook went and become his spokesperson – vying for him as if your life depended on it.

And now it was too late to back out – not that you actually wanted to. All paperwork had been signed, you had your own personal Hybe badge and all the benefits that came along with working at the company. Any feelings of intimidation or fear for the role would have to be put aside as you walked into the Hybe building to meet with your new client; the boy you'd have to stick by 24/7 from now on.

You weren't sure what you were expecting upon meeting him. It wasn't like there would be any special introduction, or even as if you were his sole manager; no, he actually had a few others who would occasionally aid him in the absence of his main manager, which was now you. Today was a workday for him, meaning that he likely already had a few people in supportive roles as he did whatever it was that Jeon Jungkook did while working.

Walking into the huge building, after getting lost a few times, you made your way to the seventh floor, which, as you'd been informed, had various rooms designated for photoshoots. That's where you'd find Jungkook for the first time, presumably having one of the many shoots scheduled for this week.

Having possession of his schedule made you realize how busy idol life was. Despite having no public schedules all this week, he had a packed itinerary, filled with either shoots or signings or producing sessions. You hadn't even met him yet, but you were already assured that he was overly hardworking – and you had maybe also stalked him online this past week.

It was very unlikely you'd even speak to him, seeing how busy he was. Your duty, after all, was just to be one of the many members of his team, taking care of any logistics as you went around with him, but not taking away from his time by socializing with him.

Upon entering the room, he was the first thing you noticed. Ignoring every other person working the room, your eyes focused specifically on him. It was hard not to, since he was quite literally standing under the spotlight, modeling for a camera. But it was more than that. He had an aura that filled up the room. Putting aside every stylist and photographer in the room, every staff member and intern, he was truly the epitome of main character.

Fuck. Was this going to cause trouble?
