I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT "AUTOBOT SPIKE" and I'm going to ramble about them here

Ok first of all let me say I have a very intense love-hate relationship with this episode and might be biased because I'm transhumanist and desperately want to be a robot, no matter what the side effects would be. I also have some knowledge of robotics and computers, so I'll be basing my takes on that. Please correct me if there's anything I got wrong, I really wanna have a discussion about it, I got inspired by someone mentioning this episode on my dash.

Also, spoilers if you haven't seen it.

I hated that they went with the whole "IT'S UNETHICAL TO MAKE A HUMAN A ROBOT!!!!1" angle. I fuckin HATED IT. Honestly, I would do anything to get put in a robot body. If I woke up as a Cybertronian, I'd hug and kiss Wheeljack while crying and thanking him for finally making me strong and beautiful.

First of all, the situation isn't like Frankenstein's monster at all imo because they used spare parts that they presumably had around to replace their own parts with. Honestly Autobot X is on the same level as a less cohesive-looking Dinobot, in terms of how ethical it was to make him. They didn't see anything unethical about creating the Dinobots. They're not "Frankenstein's monsters". Reckless, yes, but reckless doesn't automatically mean "monster". Why was it ok to make the Dinobots but not Autobot X????

Furthermore, they went on later in the season to make the Aerialbots out of DEACTIVATED SHIPS ON CYBERTRON. That's a lot closer to the Frankenstein's monster story! Dead machines being used to make new ones, and having Vector Sigma make fully realized sparks to place into those bodies. Why, again, was it ok to make the Aerialbots but not Autobot X? The lack of Vector Sigma's sparks? The Dinobots didn't get anything from Vector Sigma and the Autobots didn't seem to mind then!

Really the only unethical part of the Autobot X experiment was how irresponsibly the Autobots did it. They made no preparations and then got surprised that things didn't work. Yes, I get that in that instance it might've been an emergency. But Wheeljack just said "FUCK IT WE BALL" and basically threw shit at the wall to see what stuck.

What I find odd is that Autobot X... had a "personality"? IIRC they made him as sort of a walking flash drive to hold any Autobots during repair. That would be like installing Ubuntu to a flash drive and then saying "I'm gonna use this flash drive for my backups". Why didn't they just leave him as a shell? Wheeljack would've had to go out of his way to create an artificial spark. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE WHEELJACK

Honestly though I feel like, the stupidity of him not leaving Autobot X as a big shell body aside, another problem is he didn't prepare the parts. There's no problem with using mismatched parts, as Cybertronians can swap their own parts out if they get damaged just like a real-life robot could. The best comparison here is when you see those cars IRL that have a door or hood or whatever that's a different color than the rest of the car. It still works, it just looks a little funky. But Wheeljack made ABSOLUTELY NO PREPARATIONS. He and the other Autobots just welded Autobot X together and said "oh well good enough". In my interpretation, Cybertronians have drivers for their bodies so they can work properly- drivers for their optics, speech synthesizers, microphones, each part of their motor system, etc. There was absolutely no indication that Wheeljack went through and transferred over the proper drivers- even then he would've had to edit them because, for example, a cop car's locomotion drivers would be way different from a Jeep's. All these different drivers in one memory bank would... Well, if you've seen driver conflicts on a real computer it's BAAAAAAAAAD. Crashes galore. That's probably why when Autobot X was first booted up he went berserk. The poor mech was in immense pain from his drivers clashing. And then they subjected Spike to that pain too. I can only imagine how bad it would hurt if your entire body was trying to go in different directions at once- and how scary it would be if you tried to move your right arm only for your left knee to bend backwards.

And speaking of conflicts... They not only put Spike's brain on his hardware without making a backup copy (if they could put a human's brain in Cybertronian bodies, presumably they could just... make a backup to keep on Teletraan I? Like in a zip file? I mean... what if someone tripped over the cord and accidentally made Spike unlearn English or forget how to breathe?! BACK UP YOUR DATA, FOR PRIMUS'S SAKE!!! It's like playing with the Windows registry!) but they also put it there when Autobot X already had sentience! Since they transferred Spike's brain over, I assume that they digitized it and turned it to files. However, they didn't port his "code" to the native Cybertronian programming language- it's just raw data of whatever human consciousness looks like to Cybertronian hardware. Then they stuck it there when there was already data, albeit garbage data, in Autobot X's memory banks. Helloooooooo, file system conflicts! "We have these super critical files that we can't risk messing up. ... LET'S JUST HAPHAZARDLY SHOVE THEM INTO RANDOM FOLDERS IN SYSTEM32, HIT YES TO EVERY OVERWRITE DIALOGUE AND THEN PLAY WITH THE REGISTRY! It'll be so much fun!!" - Wheeljack, probably

If they had made the proper preparations, this would've gone over without a hitch imo and the Autobots didn't need to wring their hands so much about the ethical implications. It would be like having someone who was born without several organs and missing all four limbs get donated organs and limbs.

Basically, here's what Wheeljack needed to do.

MAKE A BACKUP OF SPIKE'S BRAIN IN CASE THE WASTE SLUDGE HITS THE FAN

Analyze his brain to check how his own brain communicates with his body so he can optimize the drivers

Port Spike's brain into Cybertronian programming language

Wipe Autobot X's memory banks so there's no leftover garbage data

Tweak each of the robot parts' drivers to play nice with one another

Then and only then can you install Spike's brain.

That's why I'm gonna write a fic where one of my human OCs (who's an animatronics engineer actually) discovers Autobot X and begs the Autobots to try the experiment again with the proper preparations because he, more than anything, wants to be a robot.

I could be totally wrong about all this and forgetting some detail that changes everything, if I am do let me know, sometimes I'm just kinda stupid like that XDD

PS: Autobot X looks badass, I don't know why they all thought he was ugly. I love his mismatched aesthetic. Honestly the whole concept kinda reminded me of my old pre-Transformers robosona, MAV1S. She was left unfinished by her creator and had to build herself with whatever parts were lying around and sure, she does look kinda unsettling because she doesn't have a mouth and her limbs are bare, but Autobot X is made of fully completed parts, just mismatched like a car with 4 different colored doors.

TLDR: The Autobot X project wasn't any less ethical than the Dinobots or Aerialbots. The project only failed because Wheeljack and Sparkplug were negligent as hell.

It sounds like you had awesome adventures in England. Do you have a very understanding husband, and some kind of awesome ‘arrangement’ (which is awesome too btw and more couples should do it) or were you just being baaaaaaaad? 🤣 or have I totally got the wrong end of the stick?

I'm always baaaaaaaaad 🤣🤣 (please tell me sheep imagery popped up for someone else too? 🐑🤣 yes, I'm a dork)

My husband knows all of my friends from here. He's even met a few irl. @whosthisfkingguy sends me weird messages to share with him 🤣. Im not very good at compartmentalizing my life and feelings, so he gets to hear all my weird thoughts/ideas (and there are a LOT) and witnesses my crazy shenanigans and adventures in life. Everything just flows into everything else--I'm just a hot mess of emotions, thoughts, crazy ideas......and boobs!🤣

I'm not sure what everyone thinks happened in England...

But it's a lovely place and I plan to go back soon 🤣😉🇬🇧

[huffingtonpussy]

why does all force m4sc porn have to be baaaaaaaaad i feel like when i first kicked off it was fun now its all ironic or burnt out and neutered

[lesbonym]

You can always slip your hands into my slutty outfits >\\\\\\< you might have me grinding against you and whining for you to use me right there on your lap, I might have to suck on your fingers so I don't interrupt your monologues by being so needy for you >\\\\\<

Plleeeeeaaassseeee I wanna know the punishments so baaaaaaaaad then I can be properly scared (and turned on) when you threaten meeee

Hozier is definitely my favorite artist rn, I love both the literary references and the composition and way his songs sound

-🦠

Such a sweet boy, of course you'd get all whiny and desperate if I slip my hands under your pretty slutty clothes. I'd love to hear how desperately you'd beg me to use you like the perfect henchmen. I'd happily provide my fingers to keep your mouth preoccupied while I evil monologue >:3.

Awww, normally I would ask for more desperate begging than that, but I'm feeling a little nicer today. But I was thinking of doing my evilest punishment and just would love to see how much my pretty henchman could take. Messing up all my evil plans, then maybe you do deserve to just make me feel good. I would just deny you but it's been so so long since I've had the chance to remind you that you're mine, so I think I would love making you cum over and over until you can't anymore. Clearly, you can't think when carrying out my plans, so maybe you should just be my dumb toy that I play with as I please. Would my pretty henchmen be satisfied with that punishment?

Hehe, I genuinely do adore Hozier so so much. I've always loved everything about them

"i like everything, im a great cool, i feel a good, but you make me angry" will live in my head forever

SO IM GONNA BE BAAAAAAAAAD

[reyturnofbensolo]

We’ve been working on that [film] for a few years and all of that feeds in to our overall storytelling. So we’ve just got to a point now where we’ve got a wonderful writer in Steven Knight, he’s come on board and we’re going to see a script probably in the next month and a half that we’ve been working on for quite a while. So we’re getting close. -Kathleen Kennedy

Just imaging all that concept art that’s floating around at LF just waiting for us! Ahhhhhhhhh I wanna look SOOOOOOOOO BAAAAAAAAAD! 😫 So Steven Knight will be crafting a script from existing story ideas. Who has been sheparding this movie for the past two years(what Rick Carter type person…or was it Damon Lindelof)?! Rian Johnson’s TLJ took Star Wars to a new place with Rey and Ben.

If the dyad ever came together its power would be immeasurable. -Chris Terrio

The Dyad…two that are one…mythical marriage(married in the force)! I really hope Rey is featured heavily in this new film because I love her and I don’t feel like TROS showed her the love she deserved. I hope they are bringing her back for the right reason…LOVE is the ultimate message of Star Wars from George Lucas. What is LOVE to Rey…Ben was her LOVE and NOT as a force ghost…I want him ALIVE!!! This movie can be ALL NEW characters as long as they do right by my girl! May the Force Be With Us!

It’s entirely possible if they wanna bring Ben back, it would be a Lost Husband Journey that’s from a folklore and from a fairytale mythic perspective…easy easy to do if they wanna make it happen. -Marie-Claire Gould

Bald man summer anon here. Not your fiancés boss, not Apollo (right pantheon wrong entity). Anyhoo last night I was in a drunken stupor after two half glasses of Rosé (my alcohol tolerance is baaaaaaaaad) and I did some shenanigans, the ask to ur fiancé being one of them. I also legit got the idea to create a Friend Note (like a death note but for good fortune and happiness instead) whilst drunk last night, and I’m gonna take your fiancés good luck as an omen to proceed 😉 also I remember your fiancé is bald cuz you mentioned it in a post one time and anything with bald male positivity sticks with me and makes me feel better about the possibility of baldness when older.

Anon you are so fucking powerful and I adore you <3

[a-tale-of-legends]

I wonder if I should make Eva and Elliot slightly more dramatic? Still overall healthier, but how they get there is different. Like. ( this ended up longer that I thought lol)

Eva gains a crush on Elliot. It's unrequited(?) -> Eva starts dating Yancy. Tries to be all in but it's kinda clear she's still hung up on Elliot, but neither of them wanna talk about it and want things to work. Elliot and Bianca are dating and are...fine. Childhood crushes turned into something more...but Elliot seems to be spreading herself thin, particulary with Alexis. Always seems to be walking on eggshells and isn't like her usual self. Bianca, of course, notices -> Bianca: I think for your sake in mind, we should break up. Elliot: What. -> Elliot is kinddddaaa miserable now. Brother isn't talking to her, Bianca broke up with her, and she still has a lot of unspoken trauma from her time in BW. She has Cheren and her (service) dog at least. -> Eva feels utterly terrible that the first thought she had when she heard Bibi and Elliot broke up was " oh I have a chance!" and not " aw, my friends must be really upset right now :(". She broke things off with Yancy when it really settled in that the relationship was just end up hurting Yancy more, and Yancy didn't deserve that. Now both girls are miserable -> both girls pour themself into work. Eva tries to avoid Elliot, but Elliot keeps bumping into her which is NOT helping at all. -> At some point, Elliot does ask Eva if she did something, and eva confesses that she's just been having a hard time lately ( which. isn't a total lie). Elliot offers support, because of course she does, and Eva can't bring herself to push Elliot away -> their friendship grows stronger over time, and somewhere within in Elliot starts to catch feelings. Eva just feels baaaaaaaaad. Yancy and her's break up was still on her mind, what led to that break up is in her mind whenever Eva smiles at her. She thinks if Elliot knew the truth, she would hate her forever. But keeping it in feels so terrible. And Elliot always appreciated honesty so....-> she stalls a bit. But it's for a good reason! She wants to talk to Bianca and Yancy, clear the air, make amends if needed. Bianca was understanding- she even gave Eva her blessing. Yancy was the tough one. I imagine the conversation was long and tough. But it was needed. Dragons, was it needed. -> After alllll of that, Eva tells Elliot everything.

Eva:- soooo yeah. That's everything. I understand if you don't want to hang out anymore-

Elliot: You know you make it seem that you did the worst thing humanly possible. But you didn't?

Eva: Wha- I was happy when you and bianca broke up! When I had a girlfriend!

Elliot: Yeah that's shitty. But that's when you realized you needed to stop things, right? We all have our ugly moments.

Eva: ....You can't be that forgiving.

Elliot: I'm not! But I'm also not the one who's wondering if I should forgive you or not. That's Yancy.

Eva: ...Yeah.

Elliot: I'd rather be the one to take you out for dinner, and listen to you talk about whatever.

Eva: ( snorts) Smooth.

Elliot: I know! Soooo?

Eva: ( sighs, smiling) Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that.

I want to say that Eva and Yancy do work things out! Both Elliot and Eva have their own issues to work out, but they work through them together!!!! Knowing myself and seeing the fact I made a long post about it this might???? Be how they get together, but also who knows, I'm still on the hoenn arc of relearning my characters

[sheinthatfandom]

i'm not saying the eddie thing because of what he claims, i'm saying it because of the kind of injuries he sustained and his age:(

the japan excursion would be a baaaaaaaaad idea right now. you either stick with babyface yuta going solo and get him over properly fresh out of the betrayal and in time to have a decent run in the continental classic or turn him heel and give people someone to hate in the bcc (which is kinda needed because people refuse to boo mox) but he has to be present, if not, why focus so much on him for weeks?

Oh no him in the c2 is a must I agree I meant by the time January comes and goes if Eddie isn’t back and if mox and co are booked getting wins over him I can see him going over there for a few weeks and then come back as a new man. Mox has always wanted to be a mega heel and have people hate him problem is he’s so damn good at everything he does thats impossible. Putting a plastic bag over Bryan’s face though that I feel like coulda been the moment to finally get him that mega level heat. The fact that everyone is slowly and surely going back to rooting for him though I do not blame on him but we’ll see what they have planned and how they execute everything.

[toestalucia]

ok i looked thro my notes (and OWN BLOG. I DONT have the violet knight convo written down anywhere???? what the hell....

Walfrid: I have my reasons for not wanting to discuss that woman in too much detail. The truth is I don't know anything about her at present. As in I don't know where she is or what she's doing. I don't even know if she's safe.

this line of that convo especially. that woman. having his reasons. ofc its 'we cant tell u about mom yet', but he DOES say 'she was another great friend on our journey' but im aughhhh i wanna hear more about these two SO BAAAAAAAAAD........sorry for always mentioning this but id also lov to hear mom & dads pov on walfrid & baragona becoming luminary knights........ i have so many thoughts about true king & the luminary knights & mom&dad.

anyway i cant rmbr rn just when walfrid & baragona hopped off the journey, but the fact he doesnt know anything about mom...........and in and you dad arrives at zinkenstill alone w his kid.........this is another convo, but gran truly has no memories of mom so their feelings towards her vs dad are very different. considering uhhh things, i wonder how much dad even told them about her since he (&zinkenstill on his regard) kept shut about their grandparents & aunt too

Violet Knight: You say that now, but how far would you go to save a friend? I have to wonder where you draw the line. Let’s say—and I’m speaking hypothetically here—sacrifices have to be made in order to save your friends. What would you do? What if those sacrifices included me and my family? Rosetta: Well— Violet Knight: You see? No hesitation at all. Look, you’re more than welcome to put your priorities first. If we swapped places and I had to choose, I’d throw you to the wolves.

this one.......i also think about.......considering how things turned out for both violet knight & gran.........the convo was about how if u have power u also have the opportunity to choose, so its not as connected to the rest but? i think about it. i wont get into the ch177 stuff rn, but its..........grans relation w/ ppl in similar positions............before & after....

[stxrmnight]

6.5 Shift into Brilliance

This is pretty much how Shadowbringers went, right? And that turned out so well!

OHHHH GIRLFRIEND IN THE CRYSTAL. How does she feel about being in it when she traps other voidsent in crystals...

I imagine this is supposed to be a jest, right? I can't take it seriously otherwise. This sounded off from Y'sthola, and without tone or any facial animation it comes off as stilted

So how is Beq Lugg going to fell after we did this Taynor?

REALLY NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS. I'M SO SORRY FELLA THIS GIRL IS TOO UNPHASED BY HAVING TURNED INTO A LIGHTWARDEN HERSELF. We're frankesteining da world back or dying

Surprising Ryne was so good!! And specially seeing her make work for the Empty. Hearing her again was specially a great surprise. Sad thing we only seem to check in when something is going wrong

I feel like Nemi would have gotten really embarrassed. "I understand why everyone holds me in high esteem, but it was nothing really! Anyone would have risked what I did if they had my chances, you know? Not everyone had the blessing of light or, my other half to support them when things are too much."

"Well, I will have you if things turn unwell, won't I?"

Nemi would combust and need a glass of water

I'm so sorry Dulia :(

Much as this patch is good in general, this tower asking felt like a double beat? Doing it in Garlemald made sense, and people here are more sensible and prone to agree with the Warrior. It could have been shorter or just a PSA from the major.

I would have rather gotten to hear what Zero heard of us, and hear more of the First's experiences that parallel the Thirteenth

"It must seem weird, right?"

"Not at all. It makes sense with how cute you are"

"Y-youre too honest sometimes!"

Your father is doing fine don't worry bestie. And ahhh lesbian wanderers... glad to hear of Gaia. I wonder if someone has recognized her?

I WISH I WAS YOUUUUUUU

Again, I wish this asking about a scary power use wasn't a double beat, because with the Night's Blessed it makes a lot of sense with the cultural relevance!! This part is fine but, yeah

I wish I saved more of their conversation, cause I recall it being quite good. Runar understanding Zero's pain in the inverse of their faith, Zero appreciating the strength in customs long lost as a thing in the Void...

It is sweet and interesting that Y'sthola is set to keep her bond with the Nights' Blessed despite her claims to be an ever hungry scholar. Wouldn't you need to have no roots to seek knowledge everywhere? I feel exploring why she feels so at home with the Night's Blessed is something that could be done for her but, we haven't gotten much introspection for her at all

And pulling the carrot umbrella for this funny line about Zero killed me

Braving the dark is kind of my thing bestie

Also, Zero trying to harness the light herself by trying "me pure darkness = more resistance" really made me laugh. You're so charmingly rash to act

I really hope so, I really hope we find her in the blue anus

What's, what's with this name

Joke aside, GOD THIS DUNGEON REMINDED ME EXACTLY WHAT MADE SHADOWBRINGER SO STELLAR!! The ingame echo but for everyone? The urgency of the city? The seemingly simple mechanics killing me short to running out of time whicch is why I have no pictures, Golbez' human form having the best m hairstyle in the game, the desperation and fall of humans under chaos folstered by forces way beyond their understanding? and THOSE DARKNESS WINGS??????? I want to know more about memoria so baaaaaaaaad

The fact that Golbez was tricked into truly believing he was saving his world from an ongoing larger tragedy, and that it's a Watcher who keeps Balance of Shards in check... man is the Watcher himself sundered then? Much as Nemi still resents him for what he's done to Azdaja, but his desperation reflects how much the Ascians' cruelty tied everyone's hands. Of course he's acting differently now that he knows another way exists, one that wouldn't exist if not for the longer struggled of the Source up to the rewritten Eight Umbral Calamity...

I have no screencaps for the sequence, but I will say I loved everything except, not getting to quite hear Zero's friendship-no-jutsu with Golbez directly. It's just funny Nemi struggled like that while the gang was having a deep anime moment and the resolution was very satisfying, specially with Vrtra sacrificing literal half of his great power as a dragon to heal his traumatized sister, returning the care she gave him as a dragonet

YOU ARE SO SMALLL BUT ALSO TOO SMALL FOR WOLDRAGON YURI POTENTIAL. AGHHH

Also, the scene were everyone gave wol a ton of praises was uncharacteristic I'm so sorry,. Who wrote that lol

; m ; I don't know if that's really what she thought, but at least Venat did want the world to be healed by humanity's will so, he's right

Buddy they met ONCE what's with that first line lol. And I don't like crediting all of a woman's character development to one undercooked guy!!!

oop, limit for post

[anchoeritic]

te quiero, peach, it’s alright i promise :3 <333 if it makes u feel any better i am a girlboy. DONT WORRY IF U DONT KNOW WHAT THAT IS OK ITS FINE IM OK WITH ANY TERMS MWAH SMOOCH

shithole country

[pianostarinwonderland]

Hot take of the day: Coral Sea event except TWST introduces a new character in the event and it’s not Azul’s parents or the Leech twins’ sketchy family or even Prince Rielle, but TWST Lin Manuel Miranda and he’s just lamenting over the fact that people wouldn’t listen to his music.

[jadagul]

Yeah, I understand this doesn't actually solve the problem. (Though I feel an urge to give the troll answer of "just make a bigger flag!")

A more serious response is: are those flags up there legible at a distance? I mean, sure, some of them are, but I'm pretty sure many of them aren't. (Most of them are in the "Baaaaaaaaad" category, sure.)

But I really just want people to stop replacing country names with flag emoji in tweets.

now i’m curious to see your ranking of US state flags

ill be honest i put way less thought into these. most of them are so so bad

not within tiers i dont rank. i loooove utahs flag
