I need to do a deeper dive bc MiniMinuteMan himself would be the first to tell you that you shouldn't blindly trust archeological and anthropological videos posted to youtube (or worse, tiktok), but his recent video on the "Green Sahara" period, where 8 thousand years ago the Kiffian culture lived in what was a lush savanah and they painted pictures in caves of people swimming in the lakes that had formed then and there were pictures and evidence of all the animals who also lived there at the time and they had a cemetery where they buried people with honors

And then when the Sahara dried out for a time and the Kiffian people left two thousand years later there was water in the desert again and the Tenerian culture came in and lived where the Kiffian people had lived and the Tenerian people had jewelery made from the bones of animals that had come back and they were also swimming in the lakes and they buried their people in the same Kiffian cemetery and they buried a mother and two children together so they were hugging each other eternal and they were buried with flowers that could only have come from the mountains so someone climbed those mountains so they could bury their people on a bed of flowers and

Yay! Okay! Jeez, this is going to be soooo long, I’m so sorry 😭😅

First Up, miscellaneous ocs:

There’s Vente and Ciel, whose story I posted on here and who I just answered an ask about recently. They come from the first ever TF story I wrote, called Vent de Folie. Vente is a seeker, and Ciel is their only friend and sort of therapist. Ciel’s father is in the French Airforce. The two of them wait in waylay for most of their days; Ciel for their father and Vente for the other seekers/Decepticons (with whom they have beef with). Of course, their lives aren’t all boring! The two often go on flights together when the going gets tough. Sometimes they tour the seaside town they live in, other times they test their luck in the skies above the sea. The way their story goes has a tragic and chaotic-happy ending. I’m not sure which I’ll inevitably go with, but both are wonderful ideas, and in total, their story is a peaceful tale.

In another universe, we have Anastasia Novikov and Reagan O’Toole. These two are perhaps the two most unlucky kids. Hated and mocked for their past mistakes and stereotypes, these two already have it hard. Things just so happen to get worse when they end up meeting four particular Cybertronians. The first is 3-nki, also called Enki. Enki takes the form of the 288 Earth Mover, which, if you find it, looks terrifying. They’re massive, and over all a scary sight to be walking through town or talking with. Then there’s LR-Bermuda. LR, as they prefer to be called, is a ghost ship. One of the many ships that fell ill to the Bermuda Triangle, it’s mysteriously that their spark has returned, allowing them to haunt the open seas, though their appearance represses any chances they could have at pretending to live like they did in their previous life. Gobero-Arbitor, or just Arbitor, is a terrifying Predacon, one of two the children inevitably meet. The second-to-last to be discovered, they take the form of a serpentine wyvern, and haunt the European cities for fun. It’s what they like to call, “a sport.” Perhaps luckily and unluckily for Anastasia, their home seems to be a prime favorite on Arbitor’s yearly hibernation journey. Speaking of hibernation, the last to be found is Ap0phis. A massive Predacon snake, they are stuck in their animalistic form, primarily out of fear for if they transform they could destroy many civilizations around them. Ap0phis, unlike their mythological counterpart, is really fond of humans, and likes having them around. The same can’t be said for Cybertronians. They’re too old to be dealing with youngsters like the Autobots and Decepticons. Oh, and if you’re curious about how a giant serpent has managed to hide for so many years, don’t worry! We have the answer! And let’s just say, one of those pyramids was definitely NOT like the others.

AU TIME!!!!!

There’s the Anam Cara AU, that’s basically like Rescue Bots in the universe of EarthSpark. Except it’s sort of funn-er. Now, for context, I went to a daycare with some friends. Most were older, and in fact, myself and the trio I was part of were the youngest there. We were inseparable. Inevitably, the oldest kids went off to high school, one of my friends left to Florida, and the other just sort of vanished. I’m back in contact with my trio, but it’s been years. Oh! And one of my friends from that trio, when we were younger, invited me to his party. I had previously been growing up on TF simply through Rescue Bots, but he introduced me to the Bumblebee Movie. All fun things! Now, AU time. In the spirit of remembering my beloved trio, there’s three human characters: Mercutio, Dulce and Everest. Mer and Dulce are several states away from Everest, which makes communication hard. Thankfully, some bots just so happen to find them! Being the sneaky bastards they are, Jazz and Prowl go on the search across the world for any other rouge Autobots/Decepticons/Cybertronians. Which is how they find the kids. Luckily, they also find bots! Those such as Knight (alt is a sword) and Oceanus (alt is a giant decorator crab), as well as Shant (alt is the power tower lines), Bearyl (alt is a swamp bear- monster), Choral (alt is undecided) and Major (alt is a bowhead whale). For reference, Knight & Oceanus are bonded to Mercutio, Shant and Bearyl are bonded to Dulce, and Choral and Major are bonded to Everest. Now, back on topic, Jazz ends up traveling with Dulce and Mercutio as Prowl does with Everest. The hope of this rag-tag team is to, like stated before, find rouge bots. This should be easy, but when certain things like—I don’t know, THE WAR ENDING AND A TRUCE BEING CALLED—hasn’t been communicated to you, some shenanigans can arise. Inevitably, they all end up reconnecting, and eventually they head to Pennsylvania, but that’s not for a looooonngggggggg time, and they’ve got a while before they get there. Also! Just a lil fun fact: Shant is an insecticon and looks like a praying mantis.

Now, my Museum AU!!! Let’s start off with Mar; Mar is a museum curator and dedicated Wikipedia user who always update pages with new knowledge. August / Auggie is a hacker, activist, and skateboarder. Paris is the child of a long lineage of G.H.O.S.T scientists and has decided that stealing from them is a fun way to pass the time. This is, obviously, set in the universe of EarthSpark. However, because I really only like the first season, and the others are ones that I may inevitably rewrite, I have done some worldbuilding. So, let’s talk about the G-Force. In the early stages of the Decepticons forming, Megatron did what most leaders do in a time of war. Search for and make allies. Thus, the G-Force was formed. They were sent to planets to search for organisms and make a bond, checking in on them every few cycles. This worked well at first, and Earth was an especially interesting place. But it’s Earth, and things have to go wrong somewhere. The first force arrives somewhere around when Dinosaurs are alive. In an effort to avoid facing a war, a few stay behind, and the lie is made up that the people of Earth require sacrifices to keep their allegiance alive (no they don’t, can you imagine??). This happens over the course of years. Dinosaurs, Greece/Egypt, Black Death/Mongolians Scaring People, Renaissance, Printing Press, Colonization, Manifest Destiny, WWI, Roaring 20s, WWII, Space Race, alllll the way up to the modern day. That’s really simplified, and I have OCs who are from those eras and require more in-depth talk, but I’m tired, so I’m trying to round this up. In a very Night At The Museum fashion, these Decepticons roam about at night, causing problems for other Decepticons and Autobots because they think it’s funny. Their stories, communications and bonds with human history is recorded by Mar who gives it to Auggie to use to protest rights and less hate towards Cybertronians (especially Decepticons). Auggie hacks into G.H.O.S.T so Paris can steal unfairly judged Decepticons from them. Paris brings these rouge bots to Mar, who gives them the museum as a safe space to stay until they can figure out other options. It’s a very lively and crowded museum, and it’s very well-hidden. No unwelcome Decepticons or Autobots know about it and its residents. Yet.

So, yeah!! Hope this wasn’t too crazy of a read-through, and if you saw any typos, ignore those, it’s my lack of sleep =}

anyway, I’m SO EXCITED to hear about your OCs!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait!!!!

omg you like transformers and pjo! HIYAAAA!

HIIIIIII YEAH I DO!!!!!!!

some of my favorite things 🥰

In the city of In Gall, Niger, men from the Wodaabe tribe dance and sing at the Gerewol festival just as a massive sandstorm hits. The Gerewol is an annual courting festival where the men try to look as beautiful as possible so they are chosen for mates by Wodaabe women. The women can select up to four men, and a man if not chosen, will be very lonely for the next year. The Wodaabe may be related to the ancient human groups that lived in the Gobero area thousands of years ago. (© Mike Hettwer)

And like we didn't even know either peoples existed until like twenty or so years ago. The Gobero cemetery was found by paleontologists looking for dinosaur fossils, no one expected to find evidence that two unrelated human cultures existed in the same place at different times and the second people decided that where the first people buried their dead with honors was a lovely place to bury their own people with honors two thousand years later 😭
