It's still a joke post I jsut can't stop drawing princess cones

[azatas]

the fact that shepard, for lack of a better way to put it, has more of a personality in me2 fits soooo well with the background i chose + the way i play her in me1. like imagine spending your entire military career playing the perfect soldier, ​to the point that one of the last things you say before you die is "the alliance won't abandon us" and then you wake up two years later and they're using your face for propaganda while they've all but erased the memory of who you really were. like yeah i'd develop a bit of an attitude too

Okay, so I’ve got some designs for Alpha Trion in my AU now

Okay so first off, I translated that top left design from what I drew yesterday at work

I was trying to do a design for AT, and I was using his One design as my main inspiration (though also some g1), since I like how round he is there. But in the process, I got a design that I thought looked too young and buff to be normal Alpha Trion, so I was like “maybe that’s a younger version of him?”

And since I didn’t know what else to do for his design and I thought the design looked half decent anyways, I just translated it to digital today

I’m gonna be honest, kind of like the pen sketch version a bit more, but whatever

But yeah, Alpha Trion here used to be large, buff, and probably not unattractive either. I’m also thinking he fought people plenty too, possibly was a gladiator? I have no explanation as to why I chose to do this other than what I listed above

Optimus and Elita will be shocked to find pictures of the old man in his younger days

I wasn’t really sure how to then translate this design to old, but I gave him some small facial hair, shortened his middle horn, gave him his cape and a sort of slouch, and I guess it works? I don’t know, probably need to do more

Giving him this design, I don’t really know if I feel the smart, probably magical old guy vibes he’s meant to have. But oh well

I also wanted him to have more One colors, with the white instead of the red, but I thought the red looked better. I also wanted to give him pink, maybe even make his eyes pink, but when I was playing around with that pink color, it didn’t look right and I was trying others, and frustratingly, blue looked really good with the other colors, so that’s what I went with. Someone needs to have not blue eyes, I swear

Anyways, onto more character stuff. But to be honest, a lot of it is still ill-defined with AT here. I know he built Elita-1 and then later Optimus, giving him the Matrix of Leadership, and he currently works with Elita in investigating the virus outbreak outside of Autobot command

He’s probably got a complicated relationship with Elita due to giving her an unstable and flawed ability to stop time, along with other general imperfections in her design, but they are able to work together at least. There’s probably also something to be said about them both being combat bots, and how responsible he is for that, which probably now has its own ties into his fighter backstory

I still don’t know what the definition of him “building” Elita and Optimus is, which is why I didn’t draw him with them during that point. Like did he reformat two young bots into Elita and Optimus, giving them new identities? Did he build them from scratch and they were born adults? Or did he build them as sparklings who had a whole developmental period? I really don’t know which one to use, which unfortunately hampers things when it comes to their backstory

And then there’s also the fact that I don’t really know what to do for his backstory. Because while the X AU is loosely based off of Mega Man X, Alpha Trion’s backstory would long predate that. I suppose I could have his more follow the original Mega Man timeline, but what would that mean? Gonna be real, I don’t think the original games were that known for their intricate story and worldbuilding

I like the idea of him being a former gladiator, but what does that mean for him, other than potentially giving him a reason to make Elita and Optimus warriors? What does this backstory do for the story?

Honestly with his similar-ish helmet shape, I’m debating having Alpha Trion’s younger days coincide with Megatron’s true origins, though he wouldn’t come online for a long time after. It could work maybe, I just need to figure out how it works

But one thing I do know is that prior to giving it to Optimus, Alpha Trion was the last bearer of the Matrix of Leadership, and has been the one harboring it since, waiting for the right person to give it to. Not sure how he got it though

He probably also has some issue with governmental authority, given he’s working with Elita independent of the government-backed Autobots, and the fact that he kept the Matrix, despite the higher-ups probably wanting him to give it to them or use it for their purposes

I don’t know, I’ll see what I do with him. The big thing is that I just need to decide on stuff with him, and the other two as well

pLEASE tell me abt your au please im on my kuh nees begging mon cher per favoreeee pleasepleasepreaseplease

HELPPPP okay okay i got u chat trust.

So like. It takes place after mighty med but like middle of Henry danger cuz. Yeah idk that’s what I want.

Basically, mighty med doesn’t blow up like EF says it does bc uhm no!!!! And Oliver and Kaz are still working there for a while with their powers after successfully detaining Oliver’s mom. (Horace becomes Oliver’s legal guardian because plot reasons idk I make the story I make the rules)

ANYWAY. So w Henry and Ray and the other crazy guys, Henry keeps almost DYING and Ray is like “wow. That’s not good!” And they can’t take him to any superhero hospitals because for whatever fucking reason the closest one to swellview IS mighty med. and that’s all the way in Philadelphia.

So he calls up mighty med and is like “Hey pookies could we get like a personal doctor or something so my sidekick doesn’t die after every battle 😊😊😊😊” and mighty med is like “okay!” And they send over silly little Oliver.

At the same time that Oliver gets shipped off to swellview, Davenport industries is like “hey lmao let’s start a superhero team!” So they request to have Oliver, Kaz and Skylar join. Unfortunately, because the hospital wants Oliver to go to swellview (and partly because Oliver’s not so sure he wants to be fighting villains again after the whole thing w his mom), only Kaz and Skylar go, splitting them up 👎

So he’s just kinda there now, working under both Ray and mighty med as just, a personal doctor. He’s very not okay because he’s away from his bestest friends in the world and he still isn’t fully healed from the whole evil mom thing.

That’s. Pretty much it. It’s just Henry danger but Oliver is there helping out sometimes :)

Hey does anyone still think about the thematic differences between Supernatural and the Wayward Sisters and how self-isolating male hunters are compared to community-building female hunters and how this was shown from the Harvelles to even arguably Missouri Mosely and even Samuel Campbell who is his daughter's father almost more than a man himself (especially in Season 6) is not immune to this?

And how the Wayward Sisters could have been built not on sacrificing yourself to this singular all-consuming relationship with your brother and sacrificing yourself for the world second or in name only, but instead on what it takes to cut yourself into useful and digestible pieces for the sake of keeping your place in that community because you're almost certain that it's This Community or Solitude Forever (Alex you can never escape the life no matter how much you don't want it you've gotta pitch in do you want your family to die on this hunt Claire you know you'll never find anyone to love you unless you make yourself softer and then are they really loving you are you even worthy of love anymore Jody your husband and son would still be alive if you listened and learned you can't lose another child in every sense you can't quite let your children be defenseless children either and you know so well how sick this fear makes you and how you're dealing with it the wrong way your son got to be a child but your daughters can't be that vulnerable Even Donna you have Your Role to play here you're not good enough as a hunter but you're funny and happy and you don't take up that much space so that's exactly how much space you're given to exist in).

And yes, a lot of these things are echoes of Kripke Supernatural but instead of too-intimate and dark and quiet confessions that the Winchesters share and know that no one else could ever have the context to fully understand it's Community it's All Our Problems the humiliation and shame is all-encompassing because there is no privacy Everyone Sees You Everyone Knows You Everyone Wants To Fix Help You.

I love the Rise Splinter version so much, that even with the posts and fanfics centered around it I feel like it's not enough is not enough.

I mean, the chapter where they travel into his mind is one of my favorites and whenever I watch it I think about how much I would have loved it to be double length just to see more of his memories.

He is just so interesting.

Just as I would love a trapped-together chapter between Leo and Draxum for this fic, I would have loved an equal one for Draxum and Splinter for their stories in general, the closest we got was in the divorced dads episode, but I would love a situation where they could really open and adress the living weapon situation and its consequences from someone who was raised to be one to someone who thinks it's for the best. I always wondered what would have happened if Draxum had gone with them on the trip to his memories, because as far as we know, Draxum only knows him as Lou Jitsu, he has no idea how much he really had to go through. Sorry, My baronjitsu Brain just don't let me out.

Man, I really need more Splinter Fanfics.

Sadly, for this fic specifically Splinter would strangle Draxum with his tail if they were within six feet of each other.

I don't really get into shipping (Donnie's vague 'somewhere on the ace spectrum but idk where' thing is absolutely projection on my part) but I doubt Splinter would ever be cool with Draxum enough to actually date him. They're both such stubborn assholes, they'd be the type of couple that screams at each other every time they go grocery shopping. Maybe coparents-with-benefits, but that's about it. (honestly, fits with my headcanon that Draxum is mostly aromantic) They're a lot better if they just dad together instead of trying to make a relationship work. They might butt heads a lot, but they love their boys far more than they annoy each other. They're willing to let a lot of things slide if it helps them parent together more effectively.

Unless of course what they're fighting about is parenting. Draxum is a very much an authoritative parent, bordering on authoritarian at times, while Splinter believes in permissive parenting. Draxum's parenting is very structured, even as babies he wants the boys playing with only educational toys and is obsessively monitoring their growth and milestones, he only feeds them nutritious food and doesn't allow dessert except on special occasions, he starts off their training and schooling at a very young age and expects a lot out of them-not unrealistically, he takes their ages and individual ability levels into account, (Donnie is eventually moved away from combat training to focus on his academics, for one) but pretty much every moment of their day is plotted out for them all the time. Splinter on the other hand is like "let them play with the box, aren't you the one always saying that's how kids learn?" He thinks having plenty of unstructured playtime is best, and he's not just saying that because he wants to take a nap while they draw. And he's totally fine with ordering a pizza every couple nights so he doesn't have to cook, or promising his kids ice cream after dinner if it makes them shut up and eat their vegetables. Usually Draxum's will prevails, (it's his house) but when Splinter is watching them he absolutely does not follow any of Draxum's rules.

What makes matters worse is that Bella, Pax, and the gargoyles all agree with Splinter. Which incenses Draxum because he literally has degrees in this, he knows he's right, and Bella and Pax know he is too but they still sneak the kids cookies and let them want non-educational TV programs.

Someone did send an email asking if he was okay… im sorry but why would they do that😭

they'd apparently emailed MDC to enquire whether something they wanted to send was in fact sendable or not, and upon receiving a quick response to that email, they'd asked back "if he's ok?"

i am also a bit surprised somebody straight up asked this in an email to MDC, but it's honestly not too surprising because we know people do care about him as a person and worry about whether he's doing okay in there or not (as okay as he possibly can in prison)

what is surprising to me is that the MDC person who answers emails actually replied back and said "Yes he is okay", because as far as i'm aware, i don't think prison staff answer personal questions about the quality of life of certain inmates, especially not to strangers
