"the man we idolised turned out to be a bad person, but it's okay, this other man hasn't fucked up yet so we can just idolise him twice as hard!"

Do you people not see the problem

I wanna put Gold Choco under a microscope, I wanna put him in a nice little terrarium like the beautiful creature he is

He's been contained.

Cybertron's Location

Okay so Alpha Centauri is named as Cybertron's star system in multiple continuities.

Easy, right? Just make up a planet for Cybertron to be. Plausible enough that there's one out there we don't know about.

NOPE. I found a spot for it.

The Alpha Centauri system has three stars in it. These are Rigil Kentaurus (α Centauri A), Toliman (α Centauri B), and Proxima Centauri (α Centauri C). I'm going to be calling them by their non-ABC names for distinction.

Alpha Centauri, as we see it, is Rigil Kentaurus and Toliman's lights being indistinguishable from one another. Those two are a binary star system of sun-like stars, so their orbit intersects and they look something like this:

Meanwhile, Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf, and orbits at a pretty far distance, like so:

It's still part of the same star system because it still orbits around a common point, but in any planet that orbits Proxima, Rigil and Toliman just look like exceptionally bright stars in its sky.

So the question THEN is, which star does Cybertron orbit?

Proxima's the most obvious candidate. It even has a full planetary system:

Proxima Centauri b is in Proxima's habitable zone (the area where water could feasibly exist as liquid), and it's just a little bigger than Earth.

Generally speaking, Cybertron is depicted as larger than Earth, so let's set that aside for this post.

Proxima Centauri d is a tiny planet that's closer to Proxima and no smaller than a third Earth's size.

Proxima Centauri c is either a super-Earth or a gas dwarf, about 7 times Earth's mass, which is disputed both in its nature and whether or not it's really a planet (it's complicated). Regardless, it's outside the habitable zone.

So it could be Proxima c. That's our default option. The biggest problem is the lack of a habitable zone, because, while giant robots don't necessarily need comfortable heat to live, there's the whole "acid rain" and "sea of rust" deal that'd be hard in a planet that far from its sun.

Granted, sometimes Cybertron is seen hurtling through space without a sun or any of those features to speak of, but I'd like to account for it.

So what about the other two?

Toliman was claimed to have a planet orbiting it in 2012 (α Centauri Bb), but by 2016, it was more or less conceded that said planet didn't exist.

Rigil Kentaurus, on the other hand...

Meet Candidate 1 (α Centauri Ab).

It orbits within Rigil's habitable zone, has a period of about a year, and has a mass between Neptune and half of Saturn, with possible habitable moons.

Does it exist? Maybe.

The thing is about Candidate 1 (yes that is its real name) is that it wasn't observed for long enough to confirm its existence. It COULD be a planet. It could also be dust that got captured, or an artifact of the observational instruments.

THIS is my proposal for Cybertron.

TLDR: There's a (possible) planet that orbits the brightest star of the Alpha Centauri star system in its habitable zone and it's bigger than Earth.

everyone always shows reigen’s shoujo vision of serizawa but we all know who the real shoujo reader here is @otagen i have been thinking about your comic for weeks now

[crowdeerdire]

I have so many random Our Life sketches... Don't know if I'll ever finish any of them, but like... idk? I just wanted to dump them some place! To remind myself I am drawing! Even tho I havn't posted anything proper :) Kel & Cove would 100% get each other those dumb I <3 my Autistic Husband/ADHD Wife when they both eventually get diagnosed. They haved that kind of humor

[corruptimles]

Finally..! Now can we figure out what to do with these? (Part 5/END of this scene)

Dialogue under cut:

Dimple: "geez..."

[indiscernible text implying muffled/faraway voices] [sfx: clk-click!] Dimple: "About time!"

Dimple: "What took ya? Sightseeing?" Reigen + Serizawa: "ugh."

Reigen: "If you count a stalled train! Did you miss... What's with this mess?!"

Dimple: "Just get over here, you two! Quickly!" Reigen: "Was gonna sweep anyway I guess.." Serizawa: "Did something happen?"

I was trying to be obscure on who was coming but you'd see them before reading to this point. Also this is the only post with transcript because I only remember to write them down for comic 'pages' and this is the only tic tac comic that had more than like, 2 lines ;;

AU where Katara & Toph both set up premier waterbending & earthbending academies in Republic City; the two schools are dedicated to teaching holistic, unified forms of their respective elements, bringing together previously disparate styles. Katara's school teaches Southern style, Northern style, & Foggy Swamp style waterbending, without any gender-based segregation between self-defense or healing classes (no, bloodbending wouldn't be taught because Katara don't like that shit). Toph's school teaches her personal seismic style of earthbending, metalbending, & more classical forms of earthbending. Katara's academy is on the coast of Yue Bay, in sight of both Aang's memorial statue & Air Temple Island; Toph's academy is far inland, to the east.

Rather than Toph, Suki is the one who establishes a police/security force. Suki's police academy could have a special program with Toph's, so you'd still get those cool metalbending officers. But the school prioritizes non-bending combat first & foremost. Ty Lee's chi-blocking technique is taught there as a required course.

People keep sharing this series of genshin leaks on Twitter and I don’t think they’re remotely reliable but it’s cracking me up how most of them are super massive lore drops and then you have “hat radish is real btw”

With the sudden new fanarts that have dropped, I realized I never shared with you all the in-universe memes I made for LotL when I was bored waiting for a flight

I fucking love in-universe memes I think they’re hilarious so pls share if you think of any lol

Can I offer you a nice transfem sheep in this tryin' time? 💙🏳️‍⚧️✨

[around-your-throat]

uuuuugh obviously any changes you make to a character regarding gender is gonna be surface level genuinely what meaningful difference exists between a man and woman and cis and trans that can be conveyed without a full itinerary of their entire life journey attached to any damn drawing obviously you could never be the same person you are when your life experience and identity is so drastically different but then what even is the point of changing anyone's gender ever
