#Exposing Machine

[askthenewritoelder]

Teba, I ventured into your bedroom in search of a spare fletcher to borrow for my arrows since mine unfortunately met its end this morning.

Would you care to tell me why I discovered an entire closet full of memorabilia dedicated to me? There is no less than twelve paintings, two knitted dolls, thirteen books, and a perfect replica of my outfit in here.

Do I need to be concerned?

Erm, those all belong to Tulin. Yeah. You know how it is, kids don’t always take care of their things properly. Tulin looks up to you a lot so his collection started piling up. I decided to put everything in there for safe keeping.

…Master Revali? Why are you looking at me like that?

i've gotten asks about what other specific types of ghosts and/or mythological beasts fit certain characters for my "ghosts in the machine" (kind-of-au??) doodles for my LOFTER/QQ friend,, well,

Every time I see someone post one of those Gaza Gofundmes I have to question their intelligence. You truly think a middle aged dad who's currently being bombed is going onto a dying website filled with the unemployed and clicking on your gay sports RPF blog, navigating past Vettel/Webber smut and asking you to help them? I know it comes from a good place I really do but I wish people would think things through a little more.

I can't shit on people for trying in their own way to help someone else.

I mean, sure there's moments that make me go ��� but I can't fault someone for posting a cry for help hoping that it's a real one and it will reach the (unlikely) right audience. But I do agree with your assessment.

Also, there is a much younger userbase on here nowadays, many of these people were not around for the 2015 (?) and onwards Russian bots pandemic and it shows.

What other songs do you think were written about Fooligetta? And Foolish on his own?

my dear anon you have no clue how long i've been waiting for someone to ask about my self proclaimed fooligetta coded songs /j

the songs i associate with qfoolish mostly pull from his vibes and lore rather than angst, especially from his federation arc as that's been my favourite version of him we've seen so far. So higher energy, emphasis on chaos, hidden agendas

some of these include:

The Court Jester by thquib

GO! (feat. Karen O) by Santigold

What do they know? by Mindless Self Indulgence

Get Jinxed by Djerv

The villain I Appear to Be by Connor Spiotto & Molly Pease

and escolha errada for obvious reasons

I used to have a full fooligetta fluff playlist but unfortunately i recently deleted it reorganising my spotify, most of the music I associate with them nowadays is far more bittersweet anyway though still very much so with an element of the love they shared and continue to share even though apart

this includes:

Graveljaw by Pow Pow Family Band (though really all of this album)

Thoroughfare by Ethel Cain

Mine Forever by Lord Huron

Wish That You Were Here by Florence + the Machine

Petals on the Moon by Waisia Project

AND YOU DIDNT ASK but it would pain me if i didn't include my qvegetta coded songs, the number one of which has to be Which Witch by Florence + the Machine as it fits perfectly with my personal interpretation of him representing his turbulent relationship to partnership and past scars from previous lovers. It actually inspired a whole fooligetta fic im currently working on! I also have to include Never Let Me Go also by Florence +the Machine and good ol' reliable Never Love an Anchor by the Crane Wives, angstier stuff.

Your OC's Personalities

I was tagged by @foxboyclit! Thanks for the tag! I'll do Ven'axtha for this one because he lives in my brain.

How would you describe Ven'axtha's personality?

Charming, calculating, clever, vain, paranoid, and ridiculously secretive. He's very concerned about public image (both his and the theatre's) and he works hard to maintain it, so he's made a bit of a socialite of himself! He's also a schemer, and if needed will get some hands dirty in order to ensure that a plan will go off without any hitch.

What brings Ven'axtha joy?

Ven'axtha is always very happy when little miscellaneous theatre activities roll around; he likes performing in plays of course, but his favourite events are probably the occasional dances or mingling nights.

Venny will also never admit it, but he loves when he makes someone else genuinely smile. It's why he does things like keep hard candy in his sleeves to slip to children.

What does Ven'axtha strongly dislike?

Baseless cruelty ticks him off. He says it's unnecessary and counter-intuitive; that a soft touch or the correct word is often all you need to sway someone. Really he hates harm being dealt to those who are helpless against it, it rankles him and often he finds himself retaliating when he sees it.

It also pisses him off when someone insults his intelligence or looks. He's mostly excised his ego but it still Very Much rears it's head. He may sometimes forgive but he never forgets an insult.

Is Ven'axtha scared of anything?

Oh man, Ven is so scared of so many things all the time and just. Absolutely refuses to acknowledge it. The thing he's probably most scared of is anyone from Before finding him; it's a fear that shapes a lot of how he comports himself. He changed his hairstyle, glamours away his scars, wears makeup, and deliberately puts this specific image of himself out to the public to kind of hide in plain sight. Even the stole he wears in public is enchanted against scrying for this purpose.

What is Ven'axtha's alignment?

Probably somewhere around neutral! I do think he leans a bit more to neutral good, though.

No pressure tagging @wojtekbc, @cabinetmonger, and @holographicbutch!

A frustrating thing about media perceptions of violence is that there are a ton of ways I want to write Cybertronians experiencing war and violence in terms of "what are the physical limits they can take" but it seems less extraordinary than it actually is because media already tends to portray even regular humans in combat with improbable or impossible abilities.

Like, how can I say something interesting about "oh Cybertronians have more stamina in battle because they don't bleed [in my headcanon] which means getting cut won't inevitably take them out of a fight in a few minutes" except when was the last time mainstream action media ever took bleeding into account. What about the fact that Cybertronians can break limbs or lose them completely and just get a replacement put on, but human characters losing limbs or getting prosthetics are rarely shown getting physical therapy or anything that would come with losing a limb. Even something as basic as "Cybertronians can be in direct combat for hours without tiring" falls flat when so many media portrays human combat as this crazy thing where people have the stamina to do flips and shit for minutes on end which isn't accurate at all.

i think it's a little concerning that ppl watch dune 2 and don't realize that paul is a villain

Okay, well uuh henry in this AU, while he was depressed and all, knew he had to do something about all these missing cases for the parents to at least bring them a sense of peace, that peace that no would for him so when he sees vacant for technician in the rental its his chance to figure out things out under a false name he beings to work and later on discovers that Mike afton is eggs bendict, the secret monitior room and the evil plans of the funtimes to scoop mike and so henry and so on the 5 night he knocks mike out of the rental and locks him in one of the safety rooms in the rental the funtime know its a different person but they still carry their plan, henry did his best to stop them but he fails and ends scoop!

D*** that's a good pitch! Also thank you for giving an excuse to make another zombie I love zombies!!! It is hard to tell if you're talking about using your Mike, or my Mike... (I'm going to go with my specific Michael lore for this ask just because you haven't clarified yet)

I imagine Mike being being happy that his sister's free, Angry that he didn't get to go all action hero like the plan, also being horrified by the fact that Henry is now dead-

I think my Michael's Mother (who he's been living with since Elizabeth died, And self-proclaimed master of mystical (Her name is also Tina)) lecturing him about How "I knew that place had bad Energies!" And "Oh Mr.Too busy with robot bears to go out for a drink with his wife got himself all dead.. that's what he deserves for being a non-believer in the mystic arts!!"

Well Michael is just helping a recently very traumatized Henry stitch up his wounds

Weird question: Sammy, since you’re apparently ink and all, could someone, in theory, reach into your ink and pull out one of the bones you have left?

[gibbearish]

a weird little thing abt me is i will definitely mock shitty ai art but it never feels right doing it about the hands simply by virtue of the fact that a lot of them look indistinguishable from the hands i was doing years ago when i first got a drawing tablet

[unganseylike]
