#Heavy Shit

[sourb0i]

Hey not to add to the growing list of alarming headlines, but Trump has fired nearly all the Inspectors General. These are people responsible for monitoring the government and protecting against waste, mismanagement, and abuse of power.

Needless to say, this is not a good sign.

thou shall ignore me moving my zed hcs here as a treat.

things to remember about zed's shadows which are buried in my hc tags.

> it's motile & responds to touch, soft undulations ect.

> it's an extension of his own senses when given to others , until it's honed this is only a general sense of being.

> it's ancient magic , spanning back to the era of the darkin.

> zed has to meditate regularly to prevent its influence from effecting his emotional state.

> before he went back to retrieve the box the shadow's influence over him was far more encumbering & it effected his emotional state quite acutely / was difficult to wield.

HUMANITY'S LAST BREATH - BLOOD SPILLED ASHEN

[iliterallydecepticanteven]

Give me the arc in which Mai becomes a supervillain accomplice to Meltdown, only for her to turn the tables and accomplish with science what Cybertronians failed to do, neutralizing him at the last possible moment.

Ooh okay so here's the thing, I've mentioned this briefly like once, but one of the things I plan on having Mai do is have a secret identity basically just committing massive amounts of eco-terrorism and property damage. Her thinking is working at Powell's company is putting her knowledge and ideas to bad, since it's mostly military contracts. She tries to counteract this by going out and destroying the machines, robots, and fuels she helped create, but in disguise. There's a string of fires at the nearby Air Force base and fuels that are being transported to other military bases suddenly become unusable for some inexplicit reason.

Mai tells no one about this and (because she's smart) wears full gear for protection and secrecy. If you've never had one of those super heavy-duty respirators on, your voice does sound completely different. She talks with Meltdown a few times about a time up, mostly to have him take down some new weapon Powell sold, but ultimately does have to neutralize him when he tries to cross her.

Her plan is to stop doing this when she finally lands a job not working with the military but perhaps she may get found out sooner than planned 👀

I always see this when it comes to writing, but every single person who discusses it seems to conveniently leave out the questions "Why would somebody want to create something about really fucked up things like sexual assault, pedophilia, abuse, etc? Why would you want to seek that out and read it?" I could at least say that I've never met someone who wanted to in a healthy manner.

“Authors should not be ALLOWED to write about–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

“This book should be taken off of shelves for featuring–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

“Schools shouldn’t teach this book in class because–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

“Nobody actually likes or wants to read classics because they’re–” you are an anti-intellectual and an idiot

“I only read YA fantasy books because every classic novel or work of literary fiction is problematic and features–” you are an anti-intellectual and you are robbing yourself of the full richness of the human experience.

I want - no, DARE one of you to look me in the eyes and tell me mental illness doesn't run in families.

God I hate the rabbit. I hate my pounding heart, I hate how she pierces any dissociative haze I've got set up and forces me to listen for rustles across the house and has me peeking around corners like I'm in a video game and I'll have to dodge a shot. There's such shame in not being able to show something your back.

I hate that I need her more. She's grown up with me, even if I only thought up the name for that lil bundle of fear responses a year or so ago. She's had decently good reason to.

little thing holding so very still with its ears pricked...

secret: What’s one secret your OC never wants anyone to know about them? / zics (if open)

C L E A R S THROAT. Not a long post but some people don't want to read this kind of stuff, kinda dark.

Zicamaia will not lie and is generally not secretive if you ask questions. But one thing she will not speak of without a damn good reason is:

That she was SAd by her master, who was a father figure to her and raised her from a small foal to do his bidding. It went on for a long time and was a very bad situation. She met creel and they helped Zics get free and turn on them. She asexually reproduced once, like all goddesses can, and had a foal. The foal was killed by her former abuser and presumed dead, and it hit her harder than anything he ever did in the past. She never found him. Never killed him.

She hates dragons for a reason.

Creel knows. She's helped Zicamaia on her healing journey and to find peace, but it's been a slow and painful process. She's never forgiving herself for the loss, and will never have another foal no matter what.

She had the baby for almost a week, and her name was Redfern. Zicamaia will not share this information lightly.

THE HEAVIEST SHIT TO EVER RUB THE UPTIGHT MUSIC BUSINESS THE WRONG WAY IN '93.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the infamous (yet super-hilarious) promo tour poster for TAD’s third studio album "Inhaler" (1993). Needless to say, Giant Records, their label at the time, immediately dropped the band after seeing what the band had chosen as their promotional poster artwork -- Bill Clinton smoking a joint with the caption: "It’s Heavy Shit."

OVERVIEW: "We were dropped from Giant when we were in Europe with SOUNDGARDEN. What screwed things up with Giant wasn’t really the way it’s been told — as being because of the poster with Clinton on it. Have you seen that poster? I don’t know who did it; it was somebody in connection with the European tour. It was a black- and-white photograph of Bill Clinton making a speech. And his hand gestures and facial gestures were perfect for the insertion of a fake joint, and there was a quote on the bottom saying "THIS IS HEAVY SHIT," referring to TAD’s music, of course. It was hilarious.

"Unfortunately, somebody at Giant didn’t have a sense of humor and thought it was a politically damaging thing, even though not that many people saw it. Giant used that poster as their excuse to drop us. But more important than that was that we had a manager at the time who was less than trustworthy, let’s just put it that way. All we can surmise is that he must have caused more problems than solutions when he dealt with Giant. And we weren’t selling a lot of records.”
