#Not impressed by some of these but it is what it is ig

[shai-manahan]

I was also curious if you don't mind answering, have Vincent or Alex met Wesley or Richard before? (Ig I can assume yes for Wesley since MC knew them as a teen?) If so how did those first meeting go/what are their impressions of the other?

Oh um. 🫣

Vincent and Alex have definitely met both of them, and they were already so wary of Wesley's parents at this point that knowing MC has befriended their kid complicated things very quickly. I won't say how, or why, but that wariness never disappeared for Vincent, while Alex just ended up growing angrier over the years. (You'll find out more about this in the future.) For now, I'll just say that Alex never liked that kid from the start </3 and oh. he first interacted with them during a particular family dinner so. oops.

Now, Richard, on the other hand — Richard isn't exactly the most polite/friendliest person around in the first place, but the circumstances in which he met MC and Wesley, as well as having to explain something to Vincent, were less than ideal and made things a little more, um, difficult for everyone to deal with, but this is an even bigger spoiler so I can't talk much about it, except perhaps for the fact that Vincent and Richard are not the type of people who'd ever get along with one another for so many reasons (some of them involving MC and the roles they all play in what's currently happening).

God these are all depressing and I can't even say why smh!!

Hi

Never getting over Fulcrum being a project manager...

Idk why, but something about that is so funny to me. Not just because the title of "project manager" is inherently kinda funny for a Decepticon, but also because-

1. It's vague sounding and hard to explain irl because it technically exists in multiple fields, like healthcare or manufacturing, which surely translates into canon in some way.

2. In canon, it's simultaneously a really mundane, innocuous sounding job, yet it's also a super morally awful position to reside over depending on the context. (*cough* forced colonization and cyberforming *cough*)

And 3. It solidifies the fact that behind all the surface level militaristic work we get with both the Decepticons and Autobots, there's also Cons and Bots with "normal" jobs in both factions.

Like, sure yeah we get scientists and doctors, engineers and programmers, but usually in big important or warfront positions. (For plot reasons, understandably.) But it's also really funny and interesting to think of those that worked background positions, or minor jobs.

Like an Autobot working in their equivalent of an HR department, or a Decepticon who runs one of their outpost's or starship's kitchens.

Just all the pre-war jobs that didn't just disappear with the war, but instead evolved to exist within the factions.

It's particularly funny with the Decepticons though, because it could be a super mundane job or situation, but because it's them, it has to have an air of ~e v i l~ to it, either legitimately and/or merely for the vibes, like Tarn's "performance reviews".

[modpoppy]

also freaking out a LOT because we’re actually already at uendo and my sibling had already pointed out how weird it was that i know so much about plurality and like so many plural/coded characters and i didnt deflect very well but now meeting the character i literally got on my last birthday cake and finding out theyre CANON 😭😭😭

[newtness532]

telling me i look like a different person isn't the convincing argument you think it is for getting me to wear the shoes that i don't want to wear specifically because they don't feel like me

[dandyshucks]

i don't get discussions abt bad or good lyrics ngl. like i don't understand what makes a lyric good or bad. sometimes I'll see bits taken from [artist tumblr hates] and [artist tumblr likes] and be unable to tell them apart bc i mean, they're just lyrics yknow?? but one is considered bad and the other is considered peak writing. i dunno it mostly just makes me insecure about my own lyric writing yknow? 💔

[yukinyaminyato]

I'm supposed to be meeting my MA thesis supervisor for the first time today but my bus is completely stuck in a traffic jam :)))) this is embarrassing.

[iliveinprocrasti-nationn]

i get a lot of family friends or neighbours saying “you’re so impressive” and i get similar things from other people when i tell them what i’m doing and idk how to be like “nah it’s nothing” bc they always think i’m being humble or something but i just genuinely cannot conceive of the compliments they’re giving me. my essay was just nominated for an award and i appreciate that people like my work but that’s it

[clownattack]

Whenever i am told thangs abt the leech i just go. What an embarrassing person gosh
