We return to another episode of Kuni rambles incoherently on tumblr with a phone at 18%

Alternately titled, someone take my phone the f r ag away from me

Ok. I apologize if someone else has come up with this idea first and this is therefore a pale comparison to the original idea, but um, here goes. 

I want an au (?? Might have a different name based on what I'm talking about Actually, but brain Fried so I can't remember) where optimus gets to talk to his youngest self--to Orion Pax :0

Note: the times it mentions Optimus is like. from Op’s pov? Since Orion never learns his name?? If that makes sense?? Sorry this is so confusing aa a a--

so anyway Sorry for typos and grammar stuff, I'm typing this on my phone as it slowly dies Hfkdjsj hH 😳

///

Orion is pulled from his study books at the sound of footsteps.

A shadow is cast over him.

Wonder and disbelief spark in his gaze as he stares up at the rather grand figure before him.

This mech--plating a nearly exact match to his own in the red, blue, and silver coloring--seems to possess an air about him that is...neither true confidence, nor uncertain existence.

At the very least, it seems he knows who he is, and his purpose in this world. Something Orion is still working on.

Silence rests between them.

Optimus, meanwhile, feels an overwhelming sense of yearning.

Seeing Orion--seeing himself--he wishes he could go back to those days.

The simpler days of youthful naivety towards life.

When Cybertron still thrived under golden days and the silvery illumination of the moons at night.

When the buildings stood tall and beautiful and untouched.

When he could never have known the awful sight of a corpse at the end of his own sword, or the unnatural cries a bot makes as it is brutally murdered next to you, and you can do nothing but continue to fend for your own life...

"You are...studying for a quarterly exam?" Optimus asks, leaning closer to see the book. He recognizes the cover and feels a twinge in his spark.

He remembers the book.

...And that he never enjoyed Chemistry much.

"...I am.....but...how did you know?" Orion stands slowly to meet the gaze of the mech standing over his desk. His gaze turns to light worry and confusion.

Orion is acutely aware of a feeling in his spark that...a lot about this mech feels familiar.

Somehow even...intimately.

"A-actually...um...."

He stammers in the silence, fishing desperately for the words to use that would ask his question, yet still be polite.

After all, 'are you related to me?' is definitely an awkward--perhaps intrusive--question to ask a complete stranger...

Optimus continues to regard the young bot, slightly amused.

He knows what Orion is hoping to ask, but also that it would be hard to ask a question like that upfront, at least when he was a younger mech.

"Orion Pax," Optimus says, placing his servos on his hips.

"Y-yes?"

"Be careful not to stay up too late with that book. Tests require knowledge, but they also require one to be awake to take them...and sleep--"

"--helps a processor function, yes..." the smaller mech sighs, frustrated. He's heard that one before, but his mind isn't thinking about that at the moment.

Alright, so he knows my name, too. But...I've never met him? There's absolutely no way he doesn't know me somehow... but how could I possibly--

"Orion?"

He jolts at his name, almost blurting the question before pulling himself back.

The mech standing over his desk gives the gentlest of smiles and rests a firm servo on Orion's shoulder.

"I know what you are going to ask, Orion."

"You...do?"

"And I will tell you as much as I can."

What is he, inside my head now?

But he receives an answer that shocks him more than that would.

"I....am you, Orion, and beneath my title and age from my timeline....I am still you," he pauses, beginning to look a little sad now.

Orion blinks a few times, absolutely shocked.

"....but you're so....tall..." Is all he manages to murmur before realizing what he just said and instantly feeling heat rush to his face.

Optimus tightens his jaw as he doesn't wish to embarrass the archivist any further by laughing.

I was less careful with my thoughts and emotions once. If only I still knew how...

"I am a Prime, and I am fighting a war."

"A war?" Orion frowns in thought.

There's hasn't been a war since the revolution against the Quintesson oppressors.

What need had Cybertron to fight again?

"Is it an invasion of Cybertron to come? Or a resources conflict?"

And me? Fighting in that war? But...I fail every self-defense practice with Megatronus, at that's true no matter how hard I try...

Optimus feels his chest grow heavy as he remembers the pain Megatron's anger alone had caused him after the council of Halogen.

The guilt, regret, frustration at his friend's obstinance, fear, sadness...

He realizes quickly that he can't possibly unload the heavier truth to Orion--to himself--all over again.

He can't...bring himself to tell Orion that his closest friend and mentor would be the leading force in a centuries-long, gritty, bleak and somewhat horribly hopeless war against him and his cause.

So he instead offers a rather sad smile, and chooses not to answer the question.

"Orion, hear my words, even if you don’t understand them at present. No matter what happens or who around you turns for the darker path, you must never lose your spark, hope, or your character."

"My spark....and character?" He echoes, distantly. "Hope?"

"Indeed," Optimus affirms, feeling an uneasiness of his own. 

The light in his eyes has dulled, yet they also maintain a grim light to them.

One that tells Orion that this mech has seen things he wished never to have seen, and never to see again. 

A grief so strong it....scares him.

Orion feels a wave of uneasiness wash over his whole body.

Something very dark is somewhere in the future...and now he has something to do with it?

And...it involves him becoming bigger, taller, stronger? Learning to fight...to kill, maybe? 

To kill means to take a life. To end it. 

Orion swallows, at last processing the other part of what the mech had told him.

He had to become a Prime??

"I--but I couldn't...not in any dream could I..." He trails off, feeling almost too much at once. 

I cannot kill. 

Optimus senses the turmoil he's set in the younger mech and feels guilty immediately.

"Do not worry," he consoles him, reaching for his smaller servos. He then looks Orion in the eye, knowing the firmness will settle his mind. "My being here alone may be enough to stop what might happen to you, to this planet..."

Orion indeed beings to feel the pounding in his spark settle just a little.

A war would mean all kinds of devastation he couldn't begin to imagine...but this mech was from another timeline.

Perhaps we...are destined for another future.

"Above all, know that if you never lose yourself, then....whatever you become will be just as true as that," he tells him. The words are weighted with something profound. 

The archivist knows in his spark that it will be a long time before he can grasp that emotion, but he is fine with that. 

Orion blinks at him, feeling a new wave of mixed emotions he can't define. He feels himself tense as he tries to control it.

But the mech's hand reaches to his arm.

He nods encouragingly, and Orion just knows the Prime doesn't want him to pent up his emotions.

"In my eyes, Orion, you have always been a prime..."

Optimus draws back at last and slowly begins to leave.

It must be time for him to go...

Orion stands at his desk, staring, a forearm still raised.

"...Or so I am told by those around me..."

The mech adds with a mild chuckle before finally leaving the room.

Orion continues to stare at the now empty doorway ahead of him.

Was that even real?

Himself?

From another future?

And yet...there is that feeling in his spark...the gut instinct telling him to trust in what this mech had been saying, that it was all real...

He plops back into his seat, staring at the ceiling.

He is too lost in thought to try and get back into his late-night studying.

And then it sinks in.

I never asked him his name!!

He deflates a little and facepalms.

Orion, you dumbaft....

Nhjdjdjs I hate this, writing skils have left the chat 

bye ;w;

[thanksjro]

More Than Meets the Eye #11- Soak the Matrix in Lemon Juice and Break Out the Hairdryers

So, small problem.

Prowl realized he was in the wrong comic run and had to split.

But not before yelling at Orion about how stupid he thinks this National Treasure bullshit he’s trying to pull is, and makes a request that Chromedome be left out of this whole mess.

Why the fuck wouldn’t you tell him that?

Bye, Prowl. See you later, I guess.

Chromedome and Roller have brought in some help for the heist from the local college. These students were super gung-ho about stealing the Matrix, not because they’re agents of political chaos, but because the Senator has his name attached to this little project. They feel a certain debt to the Senator, since he’s been doing his best to protect them from the Functionist Council.

Gee, wonder who that truck is.

We get a little rundown of our new friends, while Chromedome has a minor temper tantrum in the background.

Skids is also a member of this group, labelled as a super-learner, enough so that it may not even be a voluntary thing on his part.

In the present day, Swerve’s returned from stealing things from Trailcutter’s room, apparently totally unaware of what’s happened to his roommate. You’d think someone would have gotten in contact with him about that.

I mean, maybe? You did say you liked purple.

Swerve lets it slip that this isn’t the only story time circle Rewind’s hosted in an attempt to get Rung’s brain back up to speed… which makes me wonder just how often the medical staff on board the Lost Light actually check on their patients, if Ratchet had been surprised that this event was happening today.

Swerve makes fun of Tailgate for needing to open up the wiki so he can keep track of what’s going on, then goes over to call Rung the wrong name. Swerve is very lucky Rung is essentially in a coma right now, because that’s probably the only thing keeping him from trying to strangle our resident barkeep.

Whirl helps Rung express himself by playing with his eyebrows, a trait which, now that I think about it, probably only exists for expressive purposes, considering that his eyes are covered by his glasses and we can’t see their shape.

Rewind saves Rung from being played with, perhaps solely because he’s a historical constant.

So you’re saying Rung gets around. Nifty.

Rewind decides that they’ve taken enough of a break and it’s time to get back to the juicy stuff, completely blowing off Ratchet’s professional opinion about what to do with Rung.

Nothing gets in the way of story time.

Nothing.

In the past, Orion Pax is poking Skids in the face, specifically in his mini Matrix tattoo, which is giving him ideas. Skids is a little weirded out, but this isn’t about Skids, now is it? Chromedome goes to pay a visit to a coworker to get things set for the madness that’s about to unfold.

My boy! My beautiful boy!

Yes, Ironfist, before shooting himself in the head and having his spirit broken by the horrors of direct combat, used to be a cop. Everyone’s a cop in IDW, at least for a little while. He’s also missing his faceplate, and isn’t nearly as cute in Milne’s style, but we can’t have it all all the time, now can we?

Chromedome’s feeding into Ironfist’s fanboy nature, pretending to be just as much as a nerd as he is to call in a favor. In exchange for getting Ironfist’s Delta Magnus body pillow back from their boss, Chromedome needs to borrow Ironfist’s one-to-one replica of the Matrix.

I mean, you practically are already, but the sentiment is appreciated. We haven’t gotten to the point where we’re comfortable with thank you kisses yet, and it’ll be a while still.

While the Senator and company gush over Chromedome’s good job, Roller pulls Ratchet and Orion over to the side for a little chat.

Roller doesn’t trust the Senator. He’s done his research, weighed their options, and he really isn’t sure about this guy. Turns out that Orion isn’t the only guy who’s been modified to fit a Matrix without his consent. Honestly, I’m with Roller on this one; that’s mad creepy to be loading the bases like that.

Orion doesn’t really see it that way, though.

Only one of these things was ever a secret, my guy. You worked with Whirl, he was in your precinct for crying out loud! At least he admits to his ignorance.

Back in the present, we check in on Rodimus’ investigation. Looks like we’ve got our answer on who tried to kill Red Alert.

It was Red Alert.

First Aid explains.

Fascinating.

Rodimus fails to see why exactly Red Alert would choose to go this route, because A) he doesn’t know that Red Alert knows about the dirty little secret in the basement, and B) despite probably having depression, may not be the type to have suicidal ideation. It’s true, those types of people exist!

Oh, this is a savior’s complex thing. Nyon really fucked you up, huh Rodimus?

After Ultra Magnus gets Rodimus to stop accosting the doctor, they’re faced with a sort of moral quandary.

IDW’s More Than Meets the Eye! Come for the space adventure, stay for the rumination on whether it’s ethical to allow a mentally ill person the right to self-termination!

After consulting with Drift, because it’s always important to get a second opinion, Rodimus agrees to put Red Alert in cold storage, to remain until their quest is finished and they’re in a place that’s better for his mental health.

Anyway, back to the heist plotline.

Orion breaks down the plan for everybody: the basilica is nearly impossible to break into, but they’re going to do it anyway, because this is the past, and we as the reader already know that things go alright because Chromedome, Ratchet and Skids are still here and Optimus Prime came into being.

Roller will hack the sky spies, make things look all hunky dory, while the rest of the boys magic carpet up to the top of the building.

Looking mighty relaxed there, Glitch.

Glitch is probably sitting down to conserve as much energy as possible, because his job sucks some major chrome- he’s got to keep the detector beams off, using his outlier ability, but it really friggin’ hurts for him to do it. He’s going to have to do it for an extended period of time.

Glitch really got the short end of the stick in all this, didn’t he?

Okay, so I was wrong, Skids uses his grappling hook a fucking shit-ton in MTMTE. Today, he’s going to use it to lower Orion down into the basilica so he can crack open a cold one and steal the Matrix.

Things can never just be simple, can they?

Over on Roller’s end of the workflow, Chromedome’s irritated that he’s got to babysit the Senator. Chromedome spends a good portion of this story arc irritated at stuff, in case you couldn’t tell.

In this case, the Senator agrees that having Chromedome stay back was probably unnecessary. Or at least, he did, until he noticed that the Academy of Advanced Technology is burning to the ground on live TV.

Then the wall explodes.

Things can never just be simple, can they?

Back on the front lines, Orion tags out and Ratchet tags in, because the locks on the Matrix are mad crazy hard to undo and they just don’t have time for pussyfooting around with all that. Ratchet is apparently a master lock pick. Must be those magic medic hands.

Even the Matrix being full of Fiji water is no match for our CMO, as he makes quick work of the bomb and removes it. Hooray! Now we just need to pull him back up and we’ll be all set to leave.

Or at least, we would be, if Glitch wasn’t the dumbest bitch alive.

Ratchet braces for an explosion.

And braces.

And braces.

But it never comes, because Windcharger has magic arms and zero patience for facing his own mortality.

The boys haul up Ratchet and the bomb, fly on out of there, then Orion jumps off the slab they’re floating on because Roller was supposed to call and he hasn’t. I’m going to hazard a guess and say that Roller might be a bit preoccupied at the moment, and it isn’t by the television.

That is a BIG BOY.

“Cleanse and control” was what Trepan’s idiotic tattoo said, so there’s a good chance that our buddy the Senator is about to go the way of Pious Maximus in a minute. Or at least, he would if Orion Pax didn’t embrace is inner monster truck and punch a hole in the big boy holding the Senator like Lennie does a rabbit.

Kroma isn’t one to let the opposite side have all the cards though, as he holds a gun to Roller’s head and suggests that the Senator be given to him, lest we be down a cop in this story that���s simply awash with them. The Senator, being the nice guy that he is, goes willingly to his doom.

Be a lot easier if we knew your name, bud.

The Senator is taken away, but Kroma leaves Orion with the other big boy, and he’s not playing nicely. Orion helps himself by way of domestic terrorism.

But that’s not the end of the story! Oh dear no!

After the explosion, Orion unearths Chromedome, and they make tracks for the Institute. Small issue with that though:

Well, dang.

Thus ends the tale of the Matrix heist, the mysterious Senator, and Chromedome’s awkward relationship with Prowl. Our storytelling session ends with the sound of the alarm, and everyone runs off to see just what the hell’s gone wrong now. Only Skids hangs back to take Rung to the medibay, but not before trying one last thing to help his partner in vent-crawling out.

Man, all they had to do was annoy him and everything would have been fine? Rewind’s going to feel so silly for all that work he put into this.

Back in the past, Orion’s digging through the remains of the Rodion police station, when a robot comes up to him, saying that they have a mutual friend who asked him to find Orion if he ever went missing.

The mutual friend was the Senator.

And the robot is Zeta, who would become Zeta Prima.

The Senator was really playing the field with all these Matrix reformattings.

Speaking of the Senator, he’s just arrived at a The Institute, where they’ve decided to not only shadowplay him, but also empurata his whole deal just to be assholes. He just wanted to be beautiful, on top of conniving, but I guess we won’t be having any of that anymore. Not that it’ll matter.

Because vanity is illogical.

No wonder Whirl’s so goddamn angry all the time.

(Failed) Wedding Preparation

Berhubung resepsi dibatalkan tapi sudah mengalami bagaimana persiapan untuk resepsi pernikahan, mau cerita sedikit tentang persiapan resepsi yang (harusnya) digelar tanggal 16 Agustus 2020 jam 19.00 - 21.00. Semoga bisa kasih gambaran utk pasangan yang akan mempersiapkan pernikahan di tahun-tahun setelah covid usai.

1. Venue

Domisili akutu di Tangerang Selatan, dan citacita memang pengen ngadain wedding reception yg outdoor gitu, ya alaala garden party lah haahaa akhirnya caricari tempat sekitaran Tangsel dan Tangerang yang provide outdoor wedding. Beberapa tempat sempat masuk list kayak Hidden Paradise Pondok Cabe dan Felfest UI. Cuma masalahnya adalah utk Hidden Paradise setelah cari-cari tau price nya cukup murah sekitar 10 jutaan saja, tapi kapasitas tamu hanya sampai 300 tamu. Oke ini ga memungkinkan karena rencana akan sekitar 400-500 undangan dr keluarga, karena ini pernikahan pertama di keluarga kami (tau lah ya keluarga maunya kekmana). Jadilah pilihan pertama ini kami coret. Kemudian untuk Felfest UI, agak jauh ya harus ke Depok, maka dari itu kami coret juga dari daftar. 

Dan akhirnya pilihan kami jatuh ke Alam Sutera Sport Center. Venue ini selain dekat dengan rumah, pricenya masuk budget kami, dan mereka provide both indoor and outdoor. Kapasitasnya pun bisa s/d 1200 person. Oke deal.

Untuk harga karena kami booked di tahun 2019, jadi kami masih dpt rate 12jt, untuk acara di Agustus 2020 (Rate 2020 - 15jt). Dan untuk pembayaran lunas kami dapat berbagai bonus, diantaranya tiket menginap di Mercure Serpong utk 1 malam, kupon sport center selama 1 tahun, voucher makan di Flavour Bliss sebesar 300rb, serta merchandise (tumbler, handuk, dan tas). Untuk peraturannya dari mereka memang cukup ketat, seperti dekor dan catering rekanan (jika tidak, ada charge lagi) pemakaian venue (3 jam) serta ketentuan reschedule.

2. Catering dan Dekorasi

Untuk catering dari dulu sebenernya cuma mau pake Alfabet Catering, krn beberapa kali test food dan emang si lidah jatuh cinta bangett sama rasanya Alfabet tu. Favoritku sup iga, dendeng balado, empal gentong dan pancakenya. Sebenernya belum pernah rasain yang gaenak si di Catering ini. Range harganya pun masih masuk budget, sekitar 150rb/pax untuk prasmanan, dan untuk gubugan bervariasi dari 25rb-50rb-an kalau gasalah. Worth it banget si kalo untuk rasa.

Eh tapii sayangnya adalah mereka ga rekanan sama ASC. Huhu sediiih. Kenapa ga tetep ambil aja? karena charge catering non rekanan tu up tp 20% dr harga total makanan. Misal ambil 600 pax prasmanan (600 x 150.000 = 90.000.000, chargenya 90.000.000 x 20% = 18.000.000), chargenya utk prasmanannya sendiri aja udah 18jt huhu monanges kan segitu buat charge doang belum charge dekor dan gubugan. Okelah akhirnya say goodbye sama Alfabet. Bye Alfabet, nikahan adek/anakku aja nanti yaa. haha

Karena gabisa pake Alfabet, akhirnya kita datang lah ke Wedding Expo-nya ASC, disitu yang ikut rekanan semua. Dari semuanya ada 2 yang menarik minat ni. yang pertama Freesia dan yang kedua Izza. Bahas satu-satu ya.

a. Freesia

Untuk Freesia ini akutu naksir bgtt sama dekornya. Jadi dekornya tu kek yang kupengenin bgtt gitu. Kebetulan pas expo pas mereka lagi ada acara wedding juga jadi kita bisa liat langsung dekornya. Asli cantik bgtt. Lampu2, nuansanya rustik gtu, dan yang bikin seneng adalah pengerjaannya rapi. Nah, tapi yang agak kurang adalah makanannya. huhu

Makanannya agak kurang sreg di lidahku, trs pas ajak orgtua utk testfood juga mereka kurang masuk si sm makanannya. Agak disayangkan krn sebenernya penyajian mereka tu super cantik, pakai gelas2 berkaki yg cantik, trs ada gradasi warnanya di makanan. Utk apperance makanan ok, tp utk rasa bukan selera si. Oke akhirnya Freesia coret.

b. Izza Catering

Untuk Izza Catering ini kebalikan dari Freesia, makanannya masuk di lidahku dan keluarga, tapi penyajiannya agak kurang menurutku. Tapi kalo kata tante, yg namanya org dateng kondangan tu mentingin lidah teh, bukan mata, wkwkwk bener juga. Oke akhirnya kami diskusi lah sama pihak Izza.

Dari pihak Izza kami kontakan sama mb Ade, mba Ade ni baik banget si dan sabar bangett krn aku super bawel dan banyak maunya haha.

Oiya pas diskusi akhirnya kami ambil promo yang 600pax all in (150jt). Kami ambil ini karena promonya menarik sekali. Jadi di paket ini kami dapat bonus 3 jenis gubugan (di luar 3/4 gubugan yg udah di dapet) yaitu sushi tei, chatime dan d’crepes. Yap!! jajanan kesukaan semua, makanya langsung sikaat wkwkwk. Selain itu setelah nego-nego kami dapet diskon lagi 8jt (yeeaaay!!) dan dapet bonus kopi hajatan 100pcs, baju akad sepasang, dan makanan+snack akad 50 porsi. Lumayan bgttt kan bonusnya menggiurkan haha.

Paket 600 pax ini all in, sudah termasuk dekor (ini juga dapet bonus 2 blower/1 blower+1 tenda), entertainment, MC, pakaian akad dan resepsi -nasional (sudah termasuk penerima tamu, orangtua, dan among tamu), Dokumentasi, WO (6 personil), pokoknya udah semua deh. Untuk aku dan aji yang anti ribet ribet club ini tawaran yang oke banget yakaaan. Tinggal urus souvenir sama undangan aja berarti kan (sama nabung wkwkwk). Oke lah kami deal dengan paket itu. 

Untuk pilihan menu prasmanannya kami pilih nasi goreng oriental (ini enak krn gapake kecap haha), soup bakso ikan (seger banget asli), daging teriyaki (empuk syekaliii), kakap fillet mayonaise, sama ayam ricarica kemangi (ini enak si persis kek bikinan mama hahaha). Sayurnya kami pilih karedok dan menu tambahannya kami pilih salad. Untuk cemilannya mereka sedia puding, bitterballen, molen (keju dan coklat dan ini enaaaaak), red velvet (ini juga enak sih), sama apalagi ya kulupa haha. Minumnya kami pilih jus jambu dan es lemon tea. Untuk gubugan kami pilih sate padang, tekwan, dimsum, dan soto serta kami tambahan zuppa soup. So far makanan mereka ga berubah si rasanya tiap test food, cuma untuk pudding penyajiannya kurang menarik (hanya di cup plastik), tapi kami coba nego untuk ditempatkan di gelas-gelas kecil mereka menyanggupi.

Untuk dekorasi pun Izza yang provide, kami request untuk rustic theme.

Selama kontakan sama Izza kami di provide oleh mba Ade. Mba Ade ini enak si orangnya komunikatif dan tiap kami kasih saran atau ada request apa sebisa mungkin ditampung dan akan dikabari mengenai bisa/tidaknya. Fast respon juga hihi.

3. Make Up dan Busana

Setelah itu kami pilih make up dan busana pengantin. Awalnya kutertarik utk ke ziabrides, karena polesannya mayan soft, dan ada kebaya yang kutaksir haha. Tapi setelah mampir ternyata pilihan kebaya paketnya hanya sedikit, pun untuk gaunnya. Kebanyakan pilihan untuk yang berhijab. Untuk kebaya yang kutaksir ternyata kena tambahan 2,5 juta, dan untuk gaun bridal kena tambahan lagi sekitar 5-7 juta, untuk siger ada penambahan pula sekitar 2,5 juta. Oke tambahan untuk ini aja bisa sampai 15 juta sendiri, nggak si, big nope, agak sayang huhu. Okelah zia coret. Kami pun beralih ke tiarasari.

Awalnya cukup underestimate sama sanggar ini krn instagramnya kurang menarik huhu (maafin aku mba), tapi setelah liat make up an mereka dan datang langsung utk liat busana, hmm cukup tertarik. Gaun bridalnya pun lebih banyak pilihan, beskap dan jas priaya juga lebih bagus (utk jas mereka buat di ex-penjahit wong hang tailor btw, makanya potongannya oke dan past di badan). Oke akhirnya pilih lah tiarasari. Utk siger dikenakan biaya tambahan 1,5 juta saja, dan kalau mau tes make up biayanya hanya 800rb, utk gaun (nahini pas bgtt) kebetulan naksir gaun bridal gtu 1, dan ternyata memang baru 1 kali pakai, okelah mau yang itu, dan happynya lagi adalah tidak ada biaya tambahan sisss hahaha senang sekali hatikuu. Selain itu Mba Neneng (ownernya) juga superrr ramah dan komunikatif sekali. Huhu seneng deh kalo temu orang ramah haha. Dan lokasinya juga masih di Tangsel jadi gaada biaya transportasi tambahan utk tim make upnya. Akhirnya deal kami pakai Tiarasari.

4. Dokumentasi

Untuk dokumentasi gak ribet si, kami langsung pilih yang sama tim Izza. Kalo gasalah kami akhirnya pilih Long Pictures krn kami suka tone foto-fotonya (sendu-sendu gitu).

5. Souvenir 

Kalo souvenir kami pesan 2, 1 di kakak iparnya Aji yaitu masker dan 1 lagi di Tunggal Souvenir, lokasinya di daerah Cakung, yaitu botol kaca + tile (@9rb).

6. Undangan

Bikin sendiri ehehe

Beruntungnya adalah kami pilih all in package yang udah provide semua, jadi ga ribet caritau satu-satu, kesana kemari tanpa ada bayangan. 

Oiya dan Izza ini pembayarannya cukup mudah menurutku. Dp di tempat pameran (10jt), kemudaian 1 bulan setelah Dp masuk 10% dari total harga paket, kemudian H-1Bulan 50% harus sudah masuk dan pelunasan di H-2minggu. Mnurut kami skema pembayaran ini cukup fair. 

Ya begitulah persiapan resepsi kami yang berujung gajadi. hahaha.

Semoga gaada lagi yang gagal resepsi kayak kami ya hihi

Luv!!

Okay, so @n-anon​ just reblogged the most recent post from @thewatchau​ (my fantasy AU sideblog) saying that the AU is really well written???

Which, I mean, first of all, thank you??? That’s really sweet oh my gosh???

But second of all, I noticed that while in the middle of working on the follow-up post that’ll be going up tomorrow morning; the one with more details now that I’ve watched the vid and done some research (preesh @isa-ghost​ in that regard)

And this is what this “well written” AU content currently looks like, right now, about 13 hours from when the final thing will be posted: 

“Follow-Up Letter: 

Fellow Watchers, 

Wellity wellity i’m back i hope y’all saw yesterday’s post bc its a lot more complex than that YEET 

[IF THE PIC IS FROM PAX] This moment is hauntingly similar to July 1591, when The Enemy interrupted a speech being given by King Sean, who had been visiting Monacoil at the time. There, within a few miles of the Western Forest less than a year after his failed attempt on the king’s life, The Enemy mocked the people of Duilintinn, spreading a fear that forced the king to make an act in response that proved he was not afraid of this new foe. This act, of course, was Lord Brody’s titling. 

[IF PIC IS FROM SAY GOODBYE] Idk just use the same rhetoric but reference the “first attempt on the king’s life” yadda do

In addition, the title of today’s proclamation hearkens back to long before The Enemy became the foe we know him as today. When he and his magic appeared in the proclamations as a member of the court, (or maybe immediately after the first attack i can’t remember when did that doki doki episode come out). 

Plus RED LIGHTING aka LORD BRODY GO BYE BYE REFERENCE aka THIS SPOOKY 

Why is he reminding us of the early days of his rise to infamy? 

With Anticipation,”

[the-most-inglorious-black-hat]

((Now I wanna draw Cybertronian Black Hat. The only issue with that is that I am absolutely terrible at drawing Cybertronians they're so complex and I add so many pointless details. Also, consider this. A cybertronian relic somehow messing Black Hat up so he can't use his abilities, and he's effectively mute for some time. Soundwave decides he likes this fighty little organic and keeps him, and Black Hat doesn't know if he should be furious or not. The other cons live in fear of SW's new pet.))

Help. I Also Suck At Drawing Cybertronians—-I Have Tried Before And Failed Oh So Miserably. It’s Like Their Robotic Parts ALTHOUGH G1 Transformers Is Notably A More Simplistic Style Then Let’s Say IDW Or Prime. If Drawing Cybertronians Are Hard For You, I Suggest To Begin With Generation 1, As Detail Is Less Intricate And Precise But To Be Honest? No Details Are Pointless On A Cybertronian, I Believe The Small Details Make Up The Larger Details Which In Turn Builds Up The Overall Art Piece Itself. Like When I Made My Transformers OC, I Kinda Had A Hard Time Figuring Out What Details Would Differentiate Her And In The End, It Was The Small Details That Did, Not The Larger Ones.

The Decepticons Try Moving An Ancient Relic From A Mountain Side, As TFP Cons Commonly Do After Orion Pax Was Deceived Into Giving Coordinates And The Relic Suddenly Says Goodbye And Flies Up Into The Sky, Gone Before Anyone Could Stop It And Said Relic Hits Black Hat And Attaches Itself To Him, Which Rather Then Becoming An Armor Like One Of The Relics, It Instead Fuses Itself With BH’s Being, Making Him Half Whatever He Is And Half Whatever The Relic Is, Which Is Probably Thought Of One Of The More……Desiree Relics, As Gaining A New Sense Of Strength And Durability And Power From Fusing With a Relic, Would Gain The Upside In The War. Unfortunately The Relic Has Sealed BH’s Power, So When Located, He’s Taken As Prisoner And While In Your Vision, Soundwave Is Amused By Him And Keeps Him As A Pet, Megatron Orders Shockwave And His More Capable For The Task Soldiers To Perform An Extraction. His Own Funeral 🤷‍♀️

NGL, As Soon As BH Could Regain His Speech, Soundwave Would Just Say: Bye.

[joulethieves]

Thank You.

thank you to ellie/ @amamiyakitagawa, who found me from balvaan AO3, became my tumblr friend, then my wifey, encouraged me to stream, and stuck with me since the beginning, since night one on 7/11/17, when i was delirious with joy at the remake and sitting in some german family’s mansion basement with a TV the size of my ass, dogsitting idiot labradoodles and axolotls; for staying in streams for hours on end whether it was just us or not. for making me laugh, and indulging in all my stupid headcanons, and being general garbage with me. your presence in my stream throughout this past year speaks volumes and i love you too bitch.

a HUGE huge thank you to @airknight, who also has tuned in since night one, staying for hours on end as well. who was a constant goldmine of information throughout, who helped me patiently through the great crystal, through everything else imaginable, who always showed up to the stream with a friendly disposition even to weird randos that showed up, and who always had something nice to say.

thank you to @chaoticrice, my fellow XII streamer, rarepair lover of dalmscan orphan babs/their archadian bf’s, my fellow fic writer, and good friend. i’m glad you decided to stream too, and look forward to more of your streams. thanks for making it to tonight’s stream even though you were at a baby shower, lmao.

thank you @livvyplaysfinalfantasy, who kept my love for the game alive in 2011/2012 when you started documenting your XII playthrough, and have remained my internet pal ever since. i enjoyed your presence in my streams and your constant source of lore. it’s weird to think how long we’ve followed each other! lol

i wish i could describe the joy i felt on the first night i played the remake. it was really monumental to me. there aren’t a lot of Things i look forward to and it was so refreshing to have that excitement. i’m not a particularly giddy person but i fell asleep that night after 5 hours (y’all really stuck around for five hours and i love you for being a part of that, ellie/izzie/vik/spud/feeny) with a smile on my face. i didn’t even think that was possible. thinking about it still makes me emotional: i was so happy, not just because of the game, but because of you guys. i couldn’t keep myself away from the game, but also, from sharing that excitement with those who tuned in. who talked. who watched. it almost became lonely to play by myself. it was nice to play with other people to talk to.

thank you to the friends that have stuck with me, popping in and out. the game took me long enough to finish, with bouts of Moods that kept me away from it weeks to months at a time. but no matter what, it never changed that i always loved playing this game, and it was amazing to be able to document it through my first ever attempt at streaming, since july 11th.

my two fondest memories (aside from the first night), i think (though this one is hardly a memory), is getting blackout drunk and failing miserably at the captain basch stream. feeny and ellie and izzie were there to witness it, and idk, that was just so hilarious to me, in concept. because i literally don’t remember that much of it. (i was so mortified by the stream footage i deleted it, a regret i now have.)

my second fondest memory is doing archades with ellie and @carnsy, doing the chop quest and making cracky jokes, JULES E_E, and headcanons. it was just us three in that stream in the middle of the night (for me), but it was really, really fun. that’s all that matters.

to be able to chat about headcanons on stream and joke about ships, that’s just...really cool that i was able to do that, and i’m in awe that you all stuck around, through my weird voice and lisps and bad cockney accents.

streaming this has helped give me a spark of joy and i laughed a lot. i can only hope to keep doing it with other games and would love for you to join me, old friends and new, if i play something you’re into.

i don’t know why this game stuck with me so much. all i know is that it did. the fact i draw so much inspiration from balthier and vaan, and xii’s window into ivalice in general, certainly helps. i hope that something else hits me the way this game does, because we aren’t getting a remake of a remake, lol. they did such an amazing job on it, and i am so happy i got to tell the director/producer that in person at PAX east 2017. 

this game has helped me make so many good friends (Ellie, Izzie, Vik, Spud, Tori, Raze, Jay, Sovaz, Carn, Mike, Vivi). im so glad i made it to share that excitement, joy, constant yelling about headcanons, au’s, ship bullshit, and my writing - my writing, which i haven’t honestly done since 2008, until this game came out. my writing, which i still struggle with a lot, but i really really hope to have some good stuff this year, and i hope to become better. this game is my muse. it’s hard to believe i hadn’t written in nearly nine years until it came out again, but it really has been that long. and i’m so glad that i asked in july if anyone wanted to watch me stream it - having never thought about it before - and getting the response i did. i know i took an age and a half to beat it. thanks so much for those who stuck around, or were even just a part of the first couple weeks, as that joy is still so fresh in my memory and heart. for those who joined in mid-journey. for those who made me laugh. thank you. the ffxii-the-remix tag may be finished but i will continue to be garbage on this blog for the game, and my ship. 

and to the followers of this blog that have dealt with my shit, thank you too. thanks for every like and reblog. i see them all <3

anyway time for new game plus bye

[0u4gh05t5]

me? attempting an anti theory? its more likely than you think

in jack's latest video, the game's 1st chapter was about a man who did something so bad to his family, that he killed himself. he said it was all his fault. and jack, he kept saying, "it's all my fault." of course, that could be apart of the game but what if it isnt? what if it's jack, like, ego type jack, not our jack, knowing that what happened to anti was his fault? anti says, "its all your fault." in say goodbye, that could be directed to jack, not us! he [anti] could be trying to get jack to become aware of what he did to him, maybe the knife slit? and the person who walked in could in fact be anti! we never saw him, and hes always a sneaky boy. jack is the one at the computer in the nice house, while anti is in the hell hole, trying to free himself of what hell he's endured for god knows how long. and, if those chapters in the game all relate to each other, there could be a story. anti walking in to, 'talk' to jack, and getting his revenge, perse?  like, what if our jack hasn't been around since anti originally came? maybe he was the jack in say goodbye, and he screamed help me? what if ego jack managed to get by anti, acting like jack and then once anti found out, he reappeared in the pax? like, he thought he caught bad jack, but he got good jack, and hes trying to get good jack back and capturing bad jack. hence the door and bad jack not knowing schneep.   i never saw him as 'bad,' just as, pained. anti has problems, we know this. what if he was a normal guy before this? what if he was a neutral jack, or even a sean of sorts? what if after bad jack got ahold of him, schneep didnt recognise him? bad jack, he manipulated all of them, erased their memories of previous antii, even his own. everyone sees 'bad' anti, no matter what. lets go back to say goodbye for a moment. when he takes over, he slits jacks throat, right? well, that jack was a lot happier, more, energetic. of course, current jack is too, but that's.. that's an act. in say goodbye, anti reaches out to us. we hear a 'help me!' in the back, assumingly good!jack. anti says hes gone forever. he thinks he got rid of bad!jack. then, he says says, 'its all your fault.' i think it couldve been him talking to bad!jack. finally, he says, "say goodbye." as in, "bye bad!jack!" but! bad!jack, is still around. he tricked anti, made him think he was gone. then, he acted like good!jack. all of a sudden, anti realised that he failed. bad!jack is still here. that's why he came back in pax.  and! in pax, that very well could be just to us. "i've been here this entire time!" anti could be lying, he was gone,then he realised that everything went to hell, jack wasn't, right. he came back, "im not going anywhere!" he cant go anywhere, because he messed up. hes trying to fix his mistakes, but its getting harder and harder for him. (idk, i didnt really know what to say here)  KILL JACKSEPTICEYE, A HOLY GRAIL. so, what happened in there was hen was trying to save jack. then, hen disappeared. if you look closely, it says 'jack' suffered from memory loss. when hen came back, jack didnt recognize him. maybe, this is all bad!jack. in kjse, hen said jack did so many great things, saving chase, saving peter, but thats not jack. thats bad!jack. he 'saved' them, and sabotaged his own recovery with hen. when anti took hen, hen was trying save the bad!jack. anti prevented him from doing so by keeping him hidden away. but he returned unharmed, right? maybe anti didnt hurt him. he explained to hen who that jack was. hen came back, PISSED. he wants bad!jack OUT. he needs bad!jack OUT. that is my theory. please help elaborate.  @fear-is-nameless @lum1natrix @chase-brody-protection-squad uhhh and anyone else i forgot other blog names im so sorry

BIO

Christian grew up in the lap of luxury, and he worked hard to stay there. Being a Clarington came with a lot of challenges. He had three brothers, all of which were bound for the military by the time they neared the end of their high school experience. For Christian; as athletic as he was, as well suited for combat as he was, he couldn’t have been less interested in serving. This pissed his father off; who, as a colonel, wanted all his sons to follow in his foot-steps. Christian was never one to abide by anyone’s rules, though. He’d been categorized from an early age as a lone-wolf. He played football and other sports just because he thought he was supposed to, but at the end of the day Christian was content with being alone and quite frankly found nearly everyone else; his family included to be beneath him in intelligence and depth. While that might be entirely true, it couldn’t be denied that Christian was gifted. He never scored lower than a 95% on anything. He was the Valedictorian, naturally - and went on to accept a full ride to NYU to pursue business. This, of course, was against Christian’s fathers’ wishes. However, there wasn’t anything to be done. It was a full-ride, so Christian’s fathers’ money wouldn’t be needed, and Christian had long-since tapped into his trust fund and withdrew those funds so that he had enough to survive on his own for at least the duration of his college education. In the cold fashion that was Christian’s style, he bid his family good-bye with little more than a nod and left for New York, more-or-less content with the idea of going solo for the rest of his life.

As expected, Christian flew through college with near-perfect marks and graduated in record-time at the top of his class. Soon after, he joined forces with one of his few friends to start a financial services firm. Christian had built a reputation for himself amongst his peers, so it only took about six months for them to gain traction. There was one bump in the road, of course - and that was the fact that Christian had to enroll in a BDSM academy like everyone else. He settled on an academy just across the river in Jersey and attacked his education there at a hurried pace. He didn’t disagree with the system, per say. He was pleased with his mark, and when he wasn’t bogged down by work, he loved sex - especially when it called for him to be in control (and it always did). Still, finding a claim was so insignificant to Christian in the grand scheme of things. He wanted it for status, more than anything - but also, he just wanted to get back to his life without any rules; where he was his own boss.

That opportunity came soon enough. He met a submissive girl at the institute and they hit it off as much as he’d ever hit it off with anyone before. Her name was Juliet. She was gorgeous, well-mannered and thankfully, very quiet. She never gave him trouble and quickly enough, he started a trial with her and soon their claim was legitimized. After that, they both graduated and left the academy and moved into Christian’s penthouse on the Upper East Side overlooking Central Park. Finally, all seemed well. …That was, until Juliet started to speak up. Evidently, she hated city life. Christian had never gotten that deep with her, considering the fact that most of their interactions were carnal and hyper-sexual. She was a small-town girl and actually had family in some cow-town in Ohio. She was discontent, and Christian knew what a discontented submissive could eventually lead to; claim dissolution. He couldn’t bear having to find another claim, so he caved and purchased a luxurious apartment (well, as luxurious as Ohio can offer, anyway) out in Lima. Now, he and his submissive live there part-time. During the week, Christian boards his private jet and flies back to Manhattan for work, and then he returns to Lima in a desperate effort to keep his claim together. Time will tell if his efforts are in vain, but all he can do at this point is hope for the best.

BIO QUESTIONS :

Describe your occupational journey and how you got to where you are.  

In a phrase, my occupational journey can be described as a steady rise to the top. I won’t say that I came from nothing, because I didn’t. That said, I’ve built myself into something no one neither expected nor encouraged. While money has never been an issue, I’ve put in a great deal of effort into my education, my networking skills and my talent in the field of business. So, in answer to your question; I got to where I am through hard work, dedication and natural skill. It’s as simple as that.

How would you describe yourself as a Dominant/submissive?

I’m about as definitively Dominant as one can get. I’ve heard horror stories about the system failing people in their mark assignments and luckily that wasn’t the case for me. I’m strict, structured and communicative. I leave nothing to be desired when it comes to informing my submissives of my expectations. Further, I’d like to think that any submissive under my care is thoroughly taken care of physically, sexually and otherwise. Try to find a better Dominant than myself, I dare you.

How do you feel about authority?

I’m just fine with authority when I’m the one taking that role. I detest being told what to do; hence my ambitions to start my own business. I am my own boss, through and through; that mentality bleeds out of my occupational career and into my day-to-day life, as well.
