conservatives are the worst!

[thevagueambition]

the things people readily believe about other groups is so unhinged

lots of people in this country actually think cultural muslims aren't a thing

I've met a good number of cultural muslims so I can't fathom thinking that but ig the people who believe they don't exist are people who have never actually spoken to a muslim

Screw it, more procrastination, do you want to hear my ideas for Transformers One universe Kaon?

Granted, this is also coming from someone who knows very little about Kaon, so you know, keep that in mind

Okay so basically, I'm thinking that it was a city first established by exiles and people fleeing Iacon or other Prime-controlled cities for their crimes or other things. Since it was largely established by people who were already banished, the Primes generally left Kaon alone, since they had already banished them from their cities, then going and controlling what they do in their exile seemed like overexertion of their power

Kaon was established in a harsh part of Cybertron, where most people wouldn't go, because the people there didn't want to be found. It was also an underground colony, which later gave Kaon the nickname of Iacon's "sister city", since most other cities were on the surface

However, because the people who founded it were mostly just looking for a place outside of any ruler's reach, and it wasn't until it was already pretty well lived in that it officially got the name of a city, Kaon wasn't in a particularly structurally sound area. The place was full of natural smelting pools, and the tunnels and caves weren't the soundest. Later researchers determined Kaon would inevitably collapse in on itself one day due to its lack of proper structural integrity, unlike a place like Iacon

As Kaon grew, crime and illegal activities also grew exponentially there, since it was a place the Primes generally didn't interfere with (as well as the people who tended to find themselves there initially). Not everyone there was a criminal, particularly the bots who were born there, but it was pretty rampant. Gladiatorial fights also became pretty common there as well, given the harsh environment of the surrounding area. They eventually grew to have some of the famous gladiatorial pits on Cybertron, and some people would go there just for the fights, and for a time it was seen as Kaon's most profitable (and most legal) export

But then things changed when gladiatorial pits became outlawed by the Primes due to their excessive violence and the common abuse of the gladiators, or how many were unwilling participants. Kaon appeared to the common eye to close down their pits, but they still ran their pits on a more underground level, while the treatment of their gladiators became worse. But because the Primes generally ignored Kaon, the growing problems in Kaon went largely ignored, because the runners of the pits knew how to hide what was necessary

However, there was a movement within the pits, particularly with the champion themselves, to try and get the attention of the Primes to actually get them to intervene and stop all of this. And one day, they were successful, catching the attention of Megatronus Prime, Liege Maximo and Onyx Prime and letting them see the true horrors of Kaon, and the three leading the charge alongside the gladiators to rid themselves of those who would cause it, in some legendary conflict that I don't have a name for

Afterwards, the Primes actually went to crack down and fix the issues in Kaon, with almost all of the pits being properly shut down (outside of a couple small, deeply underground ones that they couldn't get, but nothing on the previous scales), and a restructuring of their government, with the promise that they would no longer ignore Kaon and the plights of the people there because of its origins. And sure, Kaon did still have crime problems and a reputation, but it did get better after all of this, at least compared to what it was before

As for the gladiators, while some chose to lead new, entirely different lives, a good number of them went to eventually join the High Guard, though who specifically was formerly from Kaon, I don't know at the moment

Things were generally fine for Kaon for the next few centuries/millennia, with the city cleaning up its act somewhat, but it wasn't fated to last

Kaon eventually ended up collapsing in on itself, however its collapse had been accelerated by the Quintessons and the war with them, and it would have lasted a fair bit longer without it

And that's about the end of the Kaon story. Now we shall see if I'll actually go do my schoolwork after this

Dadron HCs always fuck me over

Like I hc Aaron with tattoos and just the idea of his kids getting pens to colour them in 🤭🤭🤭

Especially because he has kind of edgy/realistic tattoos and they’re just absolutely covered in sparkly gel pen.

Sometimes I totally freak out about the fact I don’t Know And Understand Everything All The Time and then I realise that I’m a teenage girl and absolutely no one on this earth is expecting me to Know And Understand Everything All The Time, and I think it’s important for all of you to realise that too

The fact that board games have existed as long (or longer) as the concept or writing… humans really invented a market economy and went wait what’re we supposed to do now if we’re not constantly working to subsist to survive. This is super boring actually. We gotta think of some shit to pass the time.

Also you know there were probably older people complaining about how young people are all lazy now and all they care about is playing with their silly glass beads and squares on squares. Back in their day they didn’t even have wheel turned pottery, etc

Symbology: The Language of Symbols

Symbology is the study of symbols and their meanings, a field that fascinates me as it connects language, culture, and communication. Symbols are powerful; they convey complex ideas and emotions in an instant.

From the simplicity of a heart representing love to the intricate designs of cultural artifacts, symbols have a profound impact on our understanding of the world. They transcend language barriers and can evoke strong reactions, often tapping into our shared human experience.

In exploring symbology, we uncover layers of meaning that inform art, literature, religion, and daily life. Understanding symbols allows us to communicate more effectively and appreciate the nuances of different cultures.
