Remnants of our memories part 1 - Review

It's time for me to work on ROOM again, and since it's been a few months, I have to re-read it to put myself in the ambiance again. So since I have a blog now, I'm gonna write it down for ... professionalism ! Here is is. ➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵➵ Oh yeah, the comic is rated as mature now, right right... Personally, I wouldn't have, but Webtoons made me answer questions like "is there any mention of alcool ?" or "Are there swear words that are not censored ?" And of course "Is there any mention of self harm or suicide ?" so I was like ... I don't know what I will write so I will answer yes to all so I don't need to worry about it and BAM. Also I say that but yes it mention not only suicide throughout the whole series but also self harm because of Trout so .... well yeah .... Alright, moving on~ HHHHH this is so embarrassing to readddd. Even more so because I wrote that. Poor Faye, getting caught is the most vulnerable moment like that... But Trout had no information on where she could have been before that and he couldn't show up at the place she was living at because he hoped to stay unnoticed. Oooh he's so sad for her too. HHHH I'm so sorry for making you read this !!! Faye's there like "Okay weirdo, I'm gonna go somewhere else" but Trout is ready to attack ! >:0 Let's gooo ! Nooooo he was ready to give up. Well not exactly, but he felt like Faye wouldn't follow him, what makes him sad because he's used to be close to her, poor baby. In the restaurant Trout has the time to think and fully realize that he will die soon now. He knew it of course but he didn't yet had the time to settle the thought. Now all he has to do is to make sure Faye won't do it again, in case the same thing will happen again. Argh and Faye wanted someone to be there. So even if it's a stranger and it all seems shady to her, she still want to talk to him.

Surprisingly, I like the art. It's emotional enough and looks clean for something I drew as fast as possible, I think that most of it is direct sketch, I barely cleaned those. Oh I just remembered that I wanted to paint over some of those panels for some reason. I'm glad I gave up on the idea. Overall it makes me physically cringe to read but it is also very cute. I will read the rest of it tomorrow~

Offline liveblog so no so live.

"Well. We gonna need you to" I don't finish the sentence. I shoot him in the kneecap.

[akuma-homura]

wanting to run in the custom runs but either your connection is wonky or your game bugged out or both

I was sitting there waiting for a while, and since it didn’t SEEM to be moving I decided to exit......only to have the game suddenly update and show the run had been GOING and was already almost done and just

frustrated sad hand gestures aaaaaaaaaaa

[saltoverlord]

You know

I just fucking

Hate it

When my mood switches

So unprompted

From elated to devastated

And I am left here wondering

What just happened

[prismartist]

sad-ist’s animatic is so so so amazing and i wanted to share some of my favorite frames (though every single one is so good aaaa)

i love how sad-ist drew quackity, and actually made his eyes small like they are irl. thats nice ngl

you can see “SUCK IT GREEN BOY” on the declaration of independance. also the flag at the top is a nice touch

fundy and niki aww

they look so cool B)

the polycule in those two group stills! i love quackitys pose fjsdj (also judging from his position he might be pointing at his fiances which is cute)

THE BADLANDS!! THEY INCLUDED BADS LINE AND GAVE THEM THE FOCUS OF A FRAME HELL YEAHHH LOOK HOW GREAT THEY ALL LOOK

phils wings lining up with wilbur aaaa (maybe an angel of death reference)

a lil ponk!!

another great quackity pose + hbomb karl and jack! im glad jack and karl showed up as much as they did, good for them

lookit them fighting together :,)

a parallel to a frame from earlier! man the expressions are so good. making purpled’s eyes colored is also very cool

tubbo becoming president and george being king (with callahan too :D) is a nice allusion to who was in power when the war ended. might i mention how insanely good the lighting and coloring of the castle is, man. also that perspective on tubbo is great

the newcomers got a frame too! puffy and connor look very swag and hhhh ranboo looks so cool. this part also blurs connor and puffy, focusing more on ranboo, which makes a lot of sense considering that he’s got the biggest role out of the three so far. and that’s awesome

my heart

the l’mantree with the remains of its wall :0

some other things i wanna mention: of course the animation is so darn smooth, sad-ist incorporated a lot of the storyline really well and even included some characters that get overlooked a lot. the angles, perspectives and colors really add to the whole thing and honestly howwwww how does she do it so well??

i’m also so glad she did fundy good, including his line and also making him animated like, hell yes.

the way she draws ranboo is amazing honestly, like i can’t stop looking at it. it looks so sharp in a way

honestly absolutely everyone looks so cool!! i love her art style so much, and this animatic was beyond amazing

3, 11, and 33 for Rivalship OTP ask. 😍

I actually didn't intend it to be an open ask BUT IF IT'S OTP TALK I CAN'T RESIST HHHHH

OKAY BUCKLE UP because.... because it's them... I kinda rambled...

3. By contrast, what was the moment that first made their ~heart~ Soft for the other person? Not necessarily a conscious realization of “I love this person,” but a moment that had them like “Oh…I adore them…”

For Yugi, it was definitely when he sees Seto being Soft with Mokuba ❤ Yugi is always friendly and sees the Good in everyone but we know he's not oblivious; Yugi knew that Seto's Not Genuine in befriending him during their earlier days (early-manga & season 0) but I'm certain he at least admires Seto since the beginning. It will kinda deepens during Duelist Kingdom, when he sees how much Seto treasures Mokuba. Deepens more during Battle City and (anime-route) the Virtual World happening, Yugi kinda forming certain understanding for what made Seto This Way. Deepens even more during DSOD when he can literally sees the shared grief he has through Seto's eyes.

FOR SETO........ hmmm!! Actually just looking into their Canon material (as in, the ones that happened on-screen), I can't really pinpoint the exact moment he goes ~soft~ for Yugi 😂 Even when Yugi stopped Yami from launching the last Attack during Duelist Kingdom, Seto's reaction doesn't really give off that ~soft~ moment I was thinking about. Canon-verse Seto only got the eyes and attention for Yami. While we can see Yugi's inner thoughts regarding Seto often, we didn't get that from Seto 😂 even that iconic "Yugi, my heart beats Faster when I duel you again" is aimed at Yami 😂 Ignoring the anime-route where Seto watched Yugi beats Atem and "finally sees his worth", I like to go more with DSOD-route, where Seto didn't watch the Ceremonial Duel, and there is just this raw tension between them, and Yugi practically ~demands~ him to *Look* at him and duel *him* (in the sub, it's much Softer, but in the dub Yugi's practically just THREATENS HIM HHH, pick what you like 😂), like shaking his shoulders to snap him out of it!! Because, damn, Kaiba-kun!! You gotta stop this!! Atem's not here anymore!! </3 and That is just the moment that Kaiba *looks* at Yugi, regards him properly, "a true duelist" or something he refers him to. The moment he goes ~soft~ I always think it's around that 2 years gap before their collab to develop Spherium 2. Them spending more time together post-DSOD, and Yugi helping him out through his Grief, or maybe Atem shows him something that made him realize Everything during his stay in the Afterlife... who knows!! Many things could Happen, there's just so much room for Seto's ~realization~ moment!! But yes, it happens "off-screen" and post-DSOD for Seto, while Yugi goes from small Admiration <3

-

11. What fears, past traumas, etc. would be hardest for them to talk about with their partner?

Seto finds it Hard to talk about anything regarding himself, but the thing that's Hard for both of them is... The fear of Losing beloved people. Yugi went through many kinds of "farewells" with the Biggest one being ofc Atem's departure, and then Graduation, Anzu leaving, everyone's going separate ways, changing, having new life etc. And he wants to be Happy for them! Wants to support them, and he does! But also!! It's freaking hard!! And he gets Sad too, but he Doesn't Wanna Talk about it!! Because he's not supposed to be Sad, he's supposed to be Happy for them!! And Seto must be feeling the same way with Mokuba too. They both have tendencies to Deny their feeling of loss 😂 it's hard to talk about this!! 😂

-

33. Under what circumstances would they feel jealous?

Seto is the most Reactive when he's Jealous 😂 especially because Yugi's just... so Nice and so kind to other people, even strangers 😂 even to Yugi's friends, there will always be this flare "am I just Not Enough for you" thing, but he's better in controlling himself through the years 😂 Some people might sees Yugi's kindness in a different way and thinks to take Advantage of it. Mostly Seto just reacts when someone being Awfully Friendly/Flirty and threatens to invade Yugi's personal space like Nope, he's Not Letting any smarmy bastards touching Yugi with their dirty hands-

Meanwhile Yugi gives the Silent Treatment 😂 Same circumstances, with those people being Annoying and Touchy like that. Yugi will be Silent yet Fuming and if it's Too Unbearable, Yugi will just pulls Seto away and gives those people one of his Fake Smiles that's just borderline Unnerving and tells them "Seto has to go now"

[moonbeamsung]

under the cut you will find my comprehensive brain dump about hot sauce <3

okay in addition to all the shitposts i made about the album as i listened for the first time, i have so much i wanna say about each track so here we go, even if no one reads this i don’t mind because i’m just posting it for myself! this is 15% semi-professional-sounding album review talk and the other 85% is me freaking out lol

hot sauce: someone said this is zimzalabim’s brother and i can’t stop thinking about it, but unlike that song it honestly didn’t take multiple listens for me to like the song itself. the only thing that was the slightest bit off-putting about it was the higher pitch of the chanting (which i still don’t know if i’m imagining or not) but i don’t mind it as much as i used to. the beat is so interesting and funky and the latin-ish(?) sound of some parts suits them unexpectedly well :,) all the members’ voices are so distinct and i think they all got a chance to shine, like even without looking at the line distribution it just seems pretty even to me when i listen. okay now onto the mv i think it’s super cool and when i saw it for the first time it felt like there was a lot going on and it was a little overwhelming but i think that’s just because it was 5 in the morning and my senses were overwhelmed lol (like the lyrics say o_o (i think??)) also JISUNG’S DANCE BREAK I AM ON THE FLOOR. he sounded so good sjdfbds. renjun’s adlibs (in the final chorus especially) are really something else and his lil duet part with jisung in prechorus 2 is amazing showstopping never been done before etc etc. haechan’s high note and jeno’s and mark’s (side note i can’t believe we really have 7dream again :,)) and jaemin’s raps and chenle’s voice throughout the entire thing are just,,, perfection omg. overall i love this song so much and think it was a great title track for them!!

diggity: IT GOES SO HARD IT’S CRAZY. first of all here are some timestamps that make me lose my mind: 0:30 i swear the adlib sounds like mark but the video shows that it’s renjun and he sounds😳whew. and 2:48.....jisung.........i can’t do this............for maximum pain watch a clip of him talking from 2016/2017 and then listen to this part but warning you may cry. HE SOUNDS SO SKDFBL WHEN DID HIS VOICE GET SO DEEP🥲like i knew it was but this is just. another level lmao but anyways, the bridge in this song as a whole sounds amazing!!! i’m very much in love with really small moments like the little “na na na”s in mark’s rap and the way they sound, sorta minor in tone. also love how the beats build up to the chorus each time and i just wanna bop my head to it! it seems like i hear new little harmonies and adlibs every time i listen and it’s such a nice mix of vocals and strong raps :)

dive into you: the VIBES of this song??? i liked it from the teaser but as i listen more and more it gets even better it seems. like imagine a summer roadtrip to the coast because that’s what this sounds like.  mark and jisung really started things off with one of the catchiest raps i’ve ever heard and everything about it is so perfect😩jaemin and jeno singing >>>> and chenle chose violence with his high note and hearing all the harmonies from every single one of them makes me so happy :> they’re so beautiful like aaaaa. also i just love the minor-sounding notes (that’s a favorite thing of mine can you tell) in the chorus with the “you-ooh” parts. VOCALIST JENO AT 2:36 IS THE PRETTIEST THING I’VE EVER HEARD DO YOU HEAR HIS HARMONY. can’t forget vocalist jisung either, any time he sings i’m just🥰which has happened a lot this cb which is GREAT :DD and then on top of all that, the track video is adorable and they look so happy!! driver haechan doesn’t hurt either lmao AND THE PERFORMANCES OF IT ARE SO CUTE TOO LIKE HHHH

my youth: something about this song sounds so nostalgic and it’s going on my driving playlist because it just gives me such a carefree feeling, like being on the highway or driving through a city at sunset. it’s really chill and it’s one of the softer songs on this album so it balances out the harder-hitting tracks :) jaemin’s rap is so nice, reminds me of how much i love his voice :( i heard a clip of them singing this song live and it doesn’t sound the slightest bit different, it really shows all their singing talents🥺

rocket: omg definitely another favorite of mine on the album, it’s so upbeat and reminds me of dream run!!! also it’s moonshine produced so you know it’s going to be a total bop. for some reason it feels like something that would play on a rollercoaster if they had music, the scales and the synth make it sound really fun and it’s extremely enjoyable to listen to, makes me wanna dance around :) jaemin’s rap with the little star wars line is cute hehe. and chenle’s “level up” part, he sounds SO GOOD! from the bridge towards the end, that’s my favorite part, it’s such an energetic beat and, like, bouncy? i guess? that’s not the best word but i really really really love this track☺️☺️☺️

countdown (3,2,1) : besides the fact that mark decided to k word me with that “explOsive” line at the opening i love this one too! it sounds futuristic almost. i never knew how much i needed to hear jisung say “control freak” before this and his singing voice at 1:15 and 3:11 and 3:24 is just wOw—plus his RAP I’M NOT GONNA RECOVER FOR A WHILE😔🤭......also love the transitions from jaemin into mark and then jeno for that part in the bridge and the buildup it has to the final chorus. i think haechan’s and renjun’s voices sound so good on this track like at that softer part? aND HOLY HECK IS HYUCK THE ONE DOING THOSE ADLIBS TOWARDS THE END BECAUSE IF SO DAMN. yes boys you are very dangerous

anl: why couldn’t they have just called it all night long because everyone’s reading it wrong🤠this one is really chill and i think the way it sounds kinda matches the vibe of their boring ver. photos, if that makes sense. it’s also going on my driving playlist!! i don’t know what to call the little twinkling sounds at the start but i love those, and mark’s voice is so soothing in this song🥺something about the way renjun sings “sky high” is gorgeous and jisung’s parts with the harmonies are truly a blessing to the ears :] the chorus sounds so inherently dream and i feel like track itself has something mature about it? (not in that way geez) but like it just shows how far they’ve come music-wise/vocally

irreplaceable: except for mark’s one english line in the bridge (you know the one don’t make me type it) (but it doesn’t make me cringe quite as much anymore) i also adore this song☺️if this track had a video, i’d picture it looking something like the cafe 7dream content. it sounds really acoustic and warm and like they could just be casually singing it together in a cozy cafe or studio! also, i realized that it reminds me of another dream song when i hear it and i figured out that it’s bye my first hehe. HAECHAN’S HIGH NOTE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST PART, MARRY ME SIR.

be there for you: literally the renhyuckle ballad we’ve always wanted!!! i don’t even have that much to say because it’s just so beautiful, all three of their voices blend so well together and it’s such a comforting track. nct’s slower and softer songs like this are very distinct and have a gentle kind of power. listening to it feels like a hug and the harmonies and high notes and the extent of their vocal ranges are just so, so amazing.

rainbow: for all the times i’ve cried to it, i still love it :,) those first lyrics from chenle make me want to bawl my eyes out simply because his tone there is so nostalgic and pretty and sad-sounding, and reading the lyrics makes me even more emotional (or maybe i’m just overly sensitive oops). the softer raps and angelic vocals and every little harmony and adlib are EVERYTHING, this is another song that just suits the unit so well. regardless of their positions this track proves that every single member is beyond capable of being a vocalist. i don’t know why it seems like such a sad and nostalgic song to me, but it’s also really hopeful at the same time. it’s like this dreamscape of emotions (no pun intended), and the video is so otherworldly and enchanted it seems almost magical. the colors and the playground set? their expressions and interactions with one another? i swear, their friendship and bond is unlike any i’ve ever seen. this track also makes me think of how proud i am of them, and i wanna give them all the biggest hug in the world🥺

if you decided to read this whole thing i would like to say i’m sorry for the ramble but also thank you for being interested in what i had to say :)

mtmte liveblog issue 36

time travel arccccccccccccc yessssssssss

I have been waiting SO LONG to reread this arc hhhhh yessss

starting off strong with the sexy roller cover. nice

I love the disconnect of ‘orion pax: outlaw’ compared to the last time we saw him in shadowplay where he was orion pax: supercop

he’s still punching people for JUSTICE or whatever so I guess not much has changed

oh my god this is the issue with the many many two-page spreads...the first time I read this issue I didn't realize that was a thing and GOD I was SO fucking confused. there's already a lot going on in this issue/arc but this made things so much worse hvbhjkdfbsk. I powered thru and still managed to understand most of the arc despite reading half this issue out of order (essentially) bc the website I read it on split the pages up and I couldn't tell they were supposed to be doubled (and also I'm dumb so I didn't figure it out)

anyways, the actual issue...windcharger is out here using his powers to rip a dudes arms clean off. wow!

and there's skids getting punched in the face. Ls

and glitch! a totally minor character of course...

MANNNNN I SO adore the panel of all the lost lighters appearing in a cloud of purple smoke, all posing epically....SO fucking good, peak sci-fi coolness vibes, A++

as usual jro killing it w/the titles, ‘elegant chaos’ is such a great name for a time travel arc

also reading the tfwiki has shown me that many of jros titles are song or album titles, to which I say - that's epic and I love it. with jro doing it, I feel like it straddles the line between referencing music and the very fanfic-esque ‘title things after music’ vibe. I love it

oh god I forgot they use bs cybertronian time units in this sometimes lmao...I mean of course they do but still like, what the fuck is a cycle. is that a day. I feel like these words all have no meaning/the meanings change drastically depending on continuity. I cant keep up and also I'm lazy and don't care enough to try

I love rodimus did u know

poor riptide looks so confused lmao

IS....IS REWIND PIGGYBACKING TAILGATE...THATS SO FUCKING CUTE....I cant fully tell bc of the page layout but ooomg so precious. minibot buddies

whirl saying ‘chuff’ just reminded me how british jro is hvbhakjhdsfbs sometimes it just Jumps Out in mtmte and I'm like Oh God Britain Is Real

I really like the mtmte approach to time travel and paradoxes and whatnot. its just complex enough to be interesting but not too convoluted that it bogs down the story. perfect sci-fi fun!

mannnn chromedome talking abt brainstorm :( I'm sad abt those two hhhhh

and I love how at this point, nobody in the cast ACTUALLY knows brainstorm well enough to know what he’s really doing - including chromedome, who’s ostensibly his closest friend, somebody he’s known for a while - and even the readers don't really know what he’s up to...I like the mystery tbh

cant believe rewind wrote orion pax’s biography, omg. completely forgot abt that detail

cd saying ‘I love it when he talks history’ about rewind....hhhh I love cdrw so muuuuch

godddd the line rodimus says abt whirl - how they need people like whirl around who are ‘happy to get in the way’ of danger and death - that shit haunts me man like...rodimus is basically saying that he’s bringing whirl along to potentially die in place of someone like orion pax (nevermind the fact that whirl dying would ALSO fuck up the timeline)...like, how deep does it go?? is he saying that bc he knows whirl has been trying to get himself killed for a while now, or just bc whirl likes violence? mannn I cant...the character intricacies...man

anyways...I love rodimus he’s such an interesting character. you have that fucked up moment and then in the next panel he’s saying ‘if you want to call it a time phone, I wont stop you’ about the quantum walkie-talkie. he has the RANGE

oh and then rodimus casually volunteering chromedome to do mnemosurgery on anyone who might accidentally find out about them time traveling, which is again fucked up on multiple levels. the raaaaange

vjaksbhdhfusajbfdjk that panel of the lost light squad just standing there like idiots reminds me of that post where someone said abt that panel ‘these characters have a collective 3 brain cells’ or something hvbjadkfnksfdl

rodimus IMMEDIATELY breaking his own rules by trying to reassure pax that they're good guys by pointing at his autobot badge, even tho the autobots DONT EVEN EXIST YET at this point...my boy PLEASE go purchase some brain cells from the store 

and the fact that rodimus introduced himself to pax w/his real name...shouldn't he go by an alias or st??? that seems like a good time travel rule since optimus and rodimus definitely know each other later 

and like, did they not anticipate that some of the people in the past would recognize some of the lost lighters hgbajkhdjfnjksf like cd and whirl get Instantly recognized...great job guys

they are all SO bad at this hvbahskjdhfbasjkf I cantttt luckily for them the orion crew is handing them easy alibis 

‘the dugout’ is that a baseball reference????

also I love the scenery here, the bg looks like rock but there's metal piping and stuff running thru it, its so cool...really adds to the whole ‘cybertron biomes are made of metal’ thing

‘ancient history’ rodimus are you KIDDING ME-

cyclonus time travels to the past and IMMEDIATELY finds a window to stare broodingly out of. icon

tailgate thinking orion pax is SUPER COOL continues here from shadowplay and I love it...tailgate is so cute

and the tg saying ‘don't you think that's awesome, cyclonus?’ hhhhh so cute

one reason I love this arc so much is that this is the arc where the gay Really amps up 

TRAILBREAKER.... oh man ;_;

are you telling me that this outlaw base they're in has ONE bed for all of these people. what the hell vhbaksjhfnsal

cant believe rung sampled roller’s steroid juice box

also cant believe robot steroids exist. except yes I can and I love it

oooh roller’s a 0/1%er? I forgot abt that 

cant believe orion pax just grabs some random phone that belongs to these weird new people and answers it. WHO does that

goddddd megatron and orion’s conversation....destroy me

HHHHHH like...the HISTORY....the regret...the missed opportunities...its all so palpable....goddddddd

and of COURSE, the whole thing is steeped in tragedy...the ideological differences that will become the foundation for a 4 million year long war...megatron, who believes that you need to burn things down and start again to really make change stick, and then orion, who says ‘reform is the answer, not revolution’....AUGHHH the intricacies. mannnn

‘you sound lost’ 😭😭😭

‘its tragic.’ yeah, that about sums up their relationship, especially at this stage and in this continuity 

anyways. [cries about old man megatron talking to young naïve orion pax] goodbye

AUGHHH and then we jump to rodimus ONCE AGAIN breaking his own rules and trying to save trailbreaker...IT HURTS MAN...god I love rodimus, I feel like him being broken up about crewmembers like trailbreaker dying is one part regular sadness over people he knows dying for tragic reasons, and one part personal guilt at someone under his command dying, even if he’s not involved/at fault. I love the dichotomy of this emotional reaction that comes only partially from empathy/emotion, but also comes from a kinda self-centered need for success as measured by people under your command staying alive. and taking into account rodimus’s life it totally makes sense that he’d act like that...GAH I love it. the complexity of it all!

orion pax saying ‘you should read [megatron]. it’s powerful stuff’ I'm screaming, so many LAYERSSSSS

I fucking love time travel AHHHHHHHHH like the opportunity for interactions like these....chefs kiss

‘hey, best friend! miss you!’ rodimus is such a shit hvbdajkfksjhfd 

‘very sus’ rodimus ahead of his time w/the among us lingo

oooh and then they realize that the senate is trying to kill the sparks...gotta save the babies!

tailgate scolding cyclonus for bluntly stating that you'd wanna be subtle when killing newborns...hhhvbhsdfhhhhhh I love them sm

ooooh and rewind has an interesting suggestion - that the senate is actually trying to irradiate the sparks into being outliers...rewind is so smart I love him

and the fact that he’s using history from his database...love it

rodimus sending cyclonus and whirl out like pokemon

ROLLER NOOOO DONT GO OUT THERE

also wow this is literally the 5th (I think) double page spread in this issue...the confusion I felt the first time I read this...lmao 

and now this is literally one of my favorite issues so I'm glad I know what's going on lmao

oh man rodimus telling cd not to erase trailbreakers memory even tho that could jeopardize the entire timeline... :( 

oh man I didn't even notice but roller getting debris blasted into his face like that makes the whole ‘roller is tarn’ theory even more legit considering tarn’s face scars....

‘tighter the better’ hhh don't say that orion. but also, that’s the companion phrase to megatron saying ‘the deeper the better’ hvbhasjkhdfbaksjlf

I do love the semi-campy action hero antics that orion pax gets up to. its just so fun, even when the stakes are high and things are serious

‘this is the greatest thing I have ever seen’ tg ily

THE REVEAL THAT THE SPARKS WENT TO NYON...so rodimus just saved himself, basically...time travel is so trippy

GODDDD ND THEN TRAILBREAKER...HVHHHHHh 😭😭😭 THATS SO CRUEL MAN

oh man that last panel of trailbreaker holding up roller’s juice box...iirc the first time I read this I thought that was roller (cause of the juice box I guess? idk I'm an idiot) so I was like oh ok he must've come back or something. very much related but I didn't really think about tarn being a particular pre-established character and totally didn't read the whole ‘roller is tarn’ thing that was going on 

which in my defense ruth also didn't pick up on any of that while reading this and eventually like 2 issues before the reveal I had to prompt her like ‘you should maybe be wondering WHO tarn is’ vhbahjksdfbaksjdf

so! issue 37! this issue is a solid favorite of mine, id say definitely top 5 or even 3. I'm super biased bc I fucking LOVE time travel, it’s seriously one of my favorite tropes ever, and this issue hits all the time travel beats I love. characters traveling to the past and interacting with people they know! conversations that have multiple meanings bc of TIME TRAVEL! trying to save someone who meets a terrible fate in your future! fun time travel action! the time traveling characters being generally terrible at hiding the fact that they're time travelers! ITS SO GOOD. 

and I love the clever way everything is tied together here - where we get a nice continuation of shadowplay, with this taking place shortly after that with a lot of the same cast, and time travel classics like the good ole ‘if we hadn't travelled back in time and done what we did, the future we came from wouldn't have existed at all,’ in the flavor of ‘rodimus saving his baby self’ and ‘rodimus NOT saving trailbreaker’ and ‘everyone forgot about roller :(’ 

ok but like, did the lost lighters just go ‘oh well, guess rollers gone now.’ like they DID realize that the outlaw crew would have no idea what happened to him if they got their memories erased, right?? did the lost lighters figure that since roller never reappeared after this time period, that was how history was ‘supposed’ to go and they shouldn't mess with it? am I overthinking it? as usual: yes, probably. I love overthinking about comics, in case that wasn't obvious

basically...I love this issue soooo much. so so good and a bunch of fun tropes that I love. I mean the whole arc is like that for me since I love time travel so much. so I cant wait to (re)read more!!
