About AU Chaos Terran Sideways

Sideways was the second Chaos Terran to be born. In S02E04, Fairmaestro didn't lose the shard while falling, meaning that Cosmos unknowingly dunked him into the water tank with the shard still on him.

Amid the chaos of the water exploding and a new Chaos Terran emerging out of it and Fairmaestro escaping and the Maltos trying to explain the whole situation - Swindle, who has been waiting to steal the shard, managed to escape with the new Terrans using tools he stole from Fairmaestro amid the previous chaos.

Sideways would bring a lot of changes to the story. He is a very skeptical person and doesn't trust anyone - Starscream, the Decepticons, his dumb brother Aftermath, or the boring Maltos - but he doesn't mind pretending to fit their expectations. He was very bothered by the fact that his life is tied to a chaos embershard - something that both the Decepticons and Autobots wanted. He decided to not scan an alt mode before figuring out what he is, feeling safer with his shard hidden, not exposed like Aftermath's.

I'm thinking about making him present in S02E05 and he would be the one to suggest stealing ALL the cave water. (Not to make Aftermath innocent tho - he would happily agree to the idea and think it's a good prank.) Sideways would later show up at the Maltos and supply them with cave water, pretending to be Aftermath's cowardly yet empathetic lackey and earning their trust. Probably would say things like "I don't like what they do... but they are my ✨family✨."

Spitfire's birth and her bodyswap with Twitch and the information she got from the Maltos gave Sideways great progress on his research. He realized a way to escape the terrible fate linked to chaos embershards - to swap body with Thrash. He purposefully scanned the same alt mode.

His alt mode wouldn't have a sidecar because he really isn't a family person. The psychic link disturbed him a lot. The only sibling that he had some appreciation for was Spitfire but the appreciation would die out as he grew more worried about his own fate. Eventually he would stop sharing information with her and try to escape on his own.

Thoughts on his future

I'm thinking that he would try to bodyswap with Thrash but the plan would fail due to the other Maltos interfering, which caused his own death. The reason he grew so worried about his fate and wanted to get rid of the shard so badly was due to discovering chaos energy's connection to Unicron.

Unfortunately, Sideways would be revived by Unicron and forced to work for him, eventually becoming the very well-known dimension hopper Sideways in Armada/TFA/Bayverse/etc. He would eventually come back with the Quintessons in S3. (So in this AU the Chaos Terrans are literally Unicron's spawn lol. I'm thinking about making Sideways and Tarantulas coworkers, though the Tarantulas may not be ES Tarantulas.)

I am *looking* at that lawlu fae au, yell about it, please. I'd love to hear moar xd

YESS TYSM FOR ASKING!!! sorry for the late response, busy irl time for a little, BUT! i have been thinking about lawlu a lot recently (i’m just about done with watching through dressrosa, so, well, you get it), and i always think fae rules make for a fascinating story, so…

namely, this train of thought was inspired by this tumblr post which i think. encapsulates the lawlu dynamic pretty well. i mean, it’s not like luffy is trying to be owned by someone, but good luck getting any sort of handle on that guy even if he’s yours by the letter of the law. and traffy already has a few markers of being a good fae in canon (tricky as hell, hiding his real name, refusing to eat certain foods lol), so it fits!

and it’s like. imagine. you’re a fae. you know how the world works for you. there’s unspoken rules and unspoken conventions and unspoken hatred coursing through your blood. there’s someone you want to tear down from his post, but it’s not easy, not with the faerie court dynamics involved. you’ve been planning this for a long, long time. it may make you want to scream, but at least the schemes you lay out make sense.

and then, right. and then this human wanders into your domain, and eats your food, and shrugs when you tell him this means he cannot leave. and sure, he’s here now, it’s – fine, whatever, as long as he doesn’t get underfoot, so you leave him to his own devices and look away.

except, right.

except you find out very quickly that he gets underfoot.

a lot. in every way you can imagine, and some ways you can’t possibly. you’ve been raised to see humans as – not inferior, maybe, but certainly easy enough to control – but now you’re suddenly forced to confront the fact that this human had – just – not been raised with the same rules that you have ingrained into your very existence. he says he’s free, and that makes no sense, because you technically own him, what freedom is there in belonging to someone like you, but he– he doesn’t live by your standards. he doesn’t do what you ask. he breaks every rule, and stomps past every line you draw, and makes no sense, and–

and. so.

he had just not been raised with the same rules that all of your kind have ingrained into their very existence, you realise, suddenly. you’re pretty sure that doflamingo knows all about your tricks, and schemes, and traps.

you’re pretty sure, however, that doflamingo is not expecting a punch to the face.

and so, maybe having a human on your side isn’t that bad after all.

Puts my head in my hands

Would anyone be interested in hearing my interpretation of biological trains

[necrotic-nephilim]

Sorry if this might be a rude question but why don’t you just make a seperate account for your nsfw fics?

not rude, it's a valid question! tbh it's a combination of a couple reasons.

i started posting anonymous dead dove batcest fics long before i had the balls to make a tumblr. at first i was content to just leave them unassociated with each other because i didn't really care about them being tied to me. i made this blog to actually show solidarity to my partner who wanted to make a sideblog for Sandman comic stuff so we could cheerlead each other and be brave together, since i've wanted to make a batcest sideblog but i've been nervous about actually having to get it going. (mal ik you're reading this go be brave and actually make your blog so i can cheerlead you damnit-) only did it dawn on me then that i should probably mention the fics i've written on the blog after like, three of them were posted anonymously. and it would've annoyed me to have half of them anonymous and half of them not, because notifications for them would've gone in different places. i could go back and take my fics off anon if i wanted to, but i can't switch the account they're on without taking them down entirely and that'd fuck over people who have them bookmarked already.

which, ties into my second reason, if i made an entire second ao3 account it'd be harder for me to see notifications, reply to stuff, and post things for both accounts because i'd have to constantly switch. and honestly i'd be terrified of accidentally posting on the wrong one on a brain fog day. posting fics is always the most tedious part of writing them for me lol. it's easier for me to stay logged into one account and have all of my stuff in one place for me and just use the anonymous collection when i feel like it. if ao3 pseuds worked like tumblr blogs, where you can't see all my side blogs but i can, i would've used pseuds, but since you can see all pseuds on an ao3, i felt it was a moot point.

and the last reason is i just feel more comfortable being anonymous on ao3 because of the rise in anti culture. on tumblr it's very easy for me to just filter that out and find the people i want to follow and block the people i don't. i don't mind getting hate, on tumblr or on ao3. but i think, for whatever reason you want to blame it on, there's been a massive boom of antis on ao3 who are very entitled about how they read on ao3. i tag extensively, but i just feel safer from getting targeted attacks if everything i write on ao3 isn't attached to one profile. if people like a fic i wrote, want to find more i always link my tumblr in the notes, but if an anti wants to get huffy with me, they can't easily track down my other things. they definitely could if they wanted to, but being anonymous on ao3 just makes me feel more secluded, in a weird way. it's like saying "if you want you can come find me but on here i'm just a weird faceless guy throwing stuff in the void". i've used ao3's anon feature a lot, actually, i used to be a hydra trash party dumpster kid back when that was in it's prime.

i also used to be vaguely popular on a different tumblr blog and my main ao3 and while i think it'd definitely be cool if i got a decent chunk of followers on this blog too, i don't really miss having fanfiction do so well i got targetted hate on all of my fics from the same people, i had my fics stolen, etc. it was really exhausting for me. i have 120+ works on ao3, not counting what's anonymous, and that level of exposure tires me, even when i use my main ao3 to post things that aren't trashy. it's just a weird feeling knowing so many people are subscribed to you on ao3 and what if you post something they won't like because you jumped fandoms again, or you're posting something niche, or you don't think it fills enough fandom tropes to be well-liked. i used to obsessively think like that, and it made me not write the things i wanted to because i cared about numbers. and i don't want to slide back into that hole. writing on anonymous is mostly to remind myself i wrote this for me, and if other people like it, they can come find me, but i don't have to perform like that anymore. if i get a really weird fucked up idea, i can write the really weird fucked up idea. at the end of the day, just makes me more comfortable! but i get it's a super confusing set up from an outsider perspective so, i really don't mind the question, thank you for asking!!

I pray that for every "Lichdom is actually Emmrich's bad ending" I see I get a beautiful fucked up lich Emmrich fanfic in return <3

my very first jungle sunday art... made this one on the last day of pride month :o) started out as a shitpost doodle but then i got too into it and was like well let's do this like evry sunday UAHAHAHA

ONE OF MY FRIENDS REQUESTED THIS ONE UAHAHAHA i was asking around for jungle sunday drawing prompts and they told me this year's tanabata was on sunday teehee ^_^

I hope if when Din returns to the covert, he adopts Ragnar as his own foundling now that Paz is gone. Paz was Din’s vod, his brother, and regardless of the many fights they had, they still cared for each other.

Plus, Paz died to help keep Grogu safe, I feel like Din would feel like he owes it to his vod to protect his son after his passing

[becauseplot]

it’s late at night so i’ve decided fuck it, time to share my tiny q!phil headcanon: q!phil is stuck in the limbo of “i don’t know if what i feel for you is platonic or romantic or physical or aesthetic or some secret other thing but man i sure do have Feelings for you, that’s for fucking sure” towards q!missa. phil looks at missa and his brain goes “‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️” and simply does not elaborate at all whatsoever. friend-shaped? partner-shaped? just-has-a-really-wicked-sense-of-style-shaped?? who fucking knows, but man, missa sure is!!! he sure is. yep.

Hey guys! Hope you're all doing okay with everything going on rn <3

Since its recently been a year since the qsmp began, and a year since the eggs were first introduced, I wanted to see if we could make a reblog chain sharing how much our egg designs have changed and improved since the very beginning! Kinda as a celebration of the community and how much we've grown over the past year, despite everything! (Also partially to welcome all the new artists from twitter too, hi guys :D)

-------------------------------------------------------

Reblog with your first ever drawing or doodle of any egg, and then your most recent/up-to-date design of them!

(Ough. lmao i just went back and looked and. wow. My ramon design sure was somethin kkkk)

I genuinely dont think I'd even watched one stream with Ramon in; all i knew was that he had a moustache that looked like Mumbo's. And now he's one of my favourite eggs, baby boy <3

Rereading Tiptree is making me think about space exploration... I still maintain that the whole FTL trillionaire fleet carried a few thousand people at the most. And many of them didn't make it

Thinking about this...

I know that TLT seems to have a very high number of random planets that are suitable for human life compared to what we currently know about our universe + Tazmuir has been known to bend scientific details to suit her storytelling, and also this is a world where planets have souls so who cares about science anyway, but.

BUT. I still think that the FTL fleet was a last resort operation, the ships jumped blind with one (1) chance to settle without being able to count on the resources of a home base, and I think they were almost nearly wiped out.
