Veloviews for July 7, 2023 - Local and National Summer Event Rides

Photo by RUN 4 FFWPU on Pexels.com It’s mid July and that means the summer is in full swing. Will you be taking a summer vacation somewhere soon? Sometimes the cost associated with planning a trip, such as flights, hotels, gas, food, work, or family obligations can put those plans on hold. However, if you are cyclist and you’re aching to load your bike in the car for a trip somewhere, never…

Not to talk about the watcher thing again as I’ve already kind of said my piece, but one of the most batshit insane parts of this whole unbelievable situation is that for some reason they decided that for some fucking reason the BEST time to announce this highly controversial decision was literally DAYS before they would be going on an international tour and having to face irate fans IN PERSON. Guys. What the hell. At least have the sensibility to announce a move that you HAD to have known would make people upset AFTER one of the few times you actually interact in person with your fanbase.

I hope you’re ready to investigate the Tower of London for ghosts, because I have a feeling the Londoners will be more than happy to acquaint you with the building later this week.

Insane move after insane move. Truly.

("Always. Continuously. With increasing apprehension, and decreasing hope. I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday. I will love you as a corpse loves the beak of the vulture. I will love you no matter what happens to you, and no matter how I discover what happens to you, and no matter what happens to me as I discover this." -- paraphrased from The Beatrice Letters, Lemony Snicket)

tfone au where OP is created as the last of the primes but way after them, a sparkling born at what were thought to be the last days of the war against the quintessons, the beginning of a new generation of peace after eons of war. a child meant to be loved and raised knowing nothing of war nor sacrifice.

he's kept mostly out of the spotlight by his siblings, who don't wish to expose him to everyone's optics so young, and want to wait until the war is done and over to properly introduce him to their people.

except of course the primes are betrayed and murdered by sentinel, the war is lost and everyone who knows and cared for the truth is either banished or outright killed in order to suppress it.

and the high guard, the ones the primes trusted the most, the ones that were supposed to protect them, the ones who failed in their most important duty, have to make a choice. to take the last prime, their last hope, with them to the surface, a hostile environment where there's little to no supplies and where they'll be hunted down by both sentinel and the quintessons as the biggest threat to their regimen.

or hide him in plain sight. place him where sentinel won't think to look for him. one more sparkling among many. and hope it will be enough to keep him alive. pray to primus that he'll protect his last child long enough for them to come back for him when it's safer (even if most of them have already lost their faith on him when he allowed the rest of his children to be massacred like that)

they almost lose their resolve when they realize they will have to take the little one's cog away in order to make him blend in with the rest of the newborns (and oh do they burn with murderous intent when they see what sentinel has done to their people but it's not the time yet-) but in the end they decide an impaired little prime is better than a dead one.

and so in the chaos of thirteen dead primes and a sudden energon crisis, a little sparkling who very few mechs really knew about and even fewer had seen completely vanishes. and in the depths of iacon a mech in charge of a new batch of newborns scratches their helm in confusion as they realize they must have miscounted the first time.

optimus prime is quietly erased from any official records by sentinel, written off as dead when they find a sparkling's frame mangled beyond recognition after an attack on the base of those rebels that insist on being a thorn on his side. killing the sparkling hadn't been precisely in his plans, he probably could've found some use for it after all, but he's not particularly upset about it either.

and orion pax grows up with an ache on his spark that tells him he's missing something far more important than a t-cog and dreams of gentle and loving hands, cradling him against the frames of mechs he cannot recall the faces of.

I think Aventio and Screwtio shippers shouldn't fight. After all, Ratio has two hands!

That's right. Two hands.

One for his chalk.

One for his codex.

Both of which he's holding in an embarrassed death grip as they chat away with each other about him.

Sammy i dare you to kiss Jack or Henry 🔫

although im not about to draw them kissing, you can have the next best thing i guess

c360 sammy would much rather just stare at henry from afar... or more likely a foot away

plus some bonus sammy x jack because i fw it. they've been a duo for so long, and knowing each other for a while before joining the studio i think brought them closer. jack's the only person who really gets sammy, and sammy only really opens up to jack. i think despite the fact that they get into meaningless arguments (like in TIOL, whatever their bickering was about) they still care for each other at the end of the day.

more important question, has cycle 360 drawn in senry shippers? cause, like, it wasn't really intentional, but if you get that from my au then by all means ship them.

Writing prompt: Danny failed science and Temperature affects the weather!!!

So when a cold front meets a warm front is can cause a storm, sometimes they can become extremely dangerous….

Danny has been really stressed lately with college applications and exams, plus the fact that his powers have been getting stronger lately. So one day he flys out to the middle of nowhere and lets off some steam in the form of letting his ice core go a little crazy. He does this every now and then to help him destress, today he used a little more power than usual but no big deal right?

Wrong. One week later the justice league is at his door and confronting him about a series of severe storms that have been created that they managed to track the energy source back to him.

Now they are trying to confront him about being a weather powered meta.

To be fair he was fighting the box ghost when they were learning about hot and cold fronts, how was he supposed to know they could form tornados?

[murtagh-thorn]

Potentially hot take: even years later, I’m still mad at Nasuada for telling Murtagh to “stop feeling sorry for yourself/get over your trauma” when the trauma was still ongoing and he had been treated like shit by everyone and while Galbatorix had his and Thorn’s true names (which I’m pretty sure he told her about) when she had never been through anywhere near the level of abuse that he had, and that’s a big part of the reason I don’t like them together at all and have a feeling I’m gonna be even more salty about it going into reading Murtagh for the first time.

the current american political landscape is such a shitshow that i've now achieved a state of complete and total zen about it. right now i'm just like damn. there sure will be an election between some two guys in november. who knows who the two guys will be. i mean we can be pretty sure of one but also never say never.

the federal government is no longer real to me. i'm hanging out in my monthly neighborhood meetings and connecting to my local homeless + queer advocacy groups to get trans women clothes for job interviews. something will happen on the federal level in november and when it does i will still be here going to my monthly neighborhood meetings and giving unhoused people cash and helping trans people who have recently gotten out of jail.

like i'm just like. alright. i've accepted the things i cannot change. gonna go change the things i can because i'm out of fucks to give. materially what happens in november is that i vote for the democrat on the ballot; i have never been less interested in hearing every other leftist's individual upset feelings about voting for the democrat on the ballot. it is Whatever.

we love to get involved in our community!

WHAT DOOM FOR YOU?

back again with my Please Read The Thebaid Agenda! I adapted the ending of Book VII into a comic because oh boy. thoughts thoughts thoughts.

There is a horror in having yourself altered to such a degree where you are unrecognizable in your own self, to know that it is happening, to know that you should be dead and yet you are not. You have already seen the moment of your death!!!! (Stat. Theb. 3.537 – 47) There's a horror in knowing, and in it being treated as an act of love when it's really more like a violation. Amphiaraus is spared Creon's decree, but by falling into the underworld, it makes things worse on a cosmic scale.

a lot of people are talking about scary things that are probably going to happen in the next few years, which is understandable, but some of the things people are talking about have already been happening in red states for years and have generally been ignored when people from here talk about it. i think its perfectly fine to be afraid but i just find that interesting and i think it's worth pointing out.
