This photoshoot is actually so funny to me cause why tf did they send Rivers into a boxing ring? Like, they could've sent Scott in, y'know, the one who actually looks like he could hold himself in a fight, or even Pat. But no they sent twinkie winkie in there and expect him to win? He's going to fucking DIE

MTHTMTE Ch. 3: The Lost Light

Summary

"Yeah, I'm definitely lost." I finally admitted after roaming around the ship for about half an hour. It just seemed like every turn at the end of a hallway led to an identical hall. To be quite frank, at this point I was certain I was just going in one big circle. Like one of those Earth horror movies that Rodimus had sent me while he was on the organic planet.

The humans seemed like a pretty nice race if only a bit morbid, and I would like to go to their planet one day. I still remember the first time he ever showed me one of their infamous films. He had just gotten back to Cybertron after visiting the small blue planet for the first time and said he had something "totally rad" to show me.

These movies were actually how I got introduce to the idea of the female gender.

~Flashback~

"There's no way that house is that big." I stared quizzically at the screen while clutching at my energon treats.

"That's why it's scary." Hot Rod spoke lowly with a mischievous look from his spot next to me on the recharge slab. I watched as the human male and female, as he called it, ran through the dark, abandoned house, trying to get away from the big furry monster chasing them.

Eventually, the two organics found a room with a red door and barricaded themselves in there using a storage unit that Hot Rod called a "dresser".

"I'm so sorry I got us into this, Jason." The female began to cry. "I never should have brought us here."

"It's okay, Elizabeth." 'They have some really odd names.' The male reached over and hugged her close to him. "We'll get through this. Together."

"In case we don't make it out of this, there's something I need to tell you." The female looked up to the male with red, puffy eyes. 'I didn't know organics could change color and shape at will.'

"Don't say that, Lizzy. We'll get out of this."

"Please." The female pleaded. "Just listen."

"Alright." The male gave in.

"Jason, I love you."

"I love you too, Elizabeth." They then pressed their faces together, connecting their lips, and- it looked like they were doing something with their tongues every once and a while. I leaned closer to try and figure out what they were doing, but I had no idea.

"What are they doing, Roddy?" I looked back over to Hot Rod to see him smirking. For a moment, I thought I saw a shade of energon pink on his face, but it must have been the light from the movie because when I blinked it was gone. He took a second to pause the film before answering me and I perked up to listen to him.

"The humans call it kissing. It's how they show affection. Like a bomp, or touching foreheads."

"So it's something they do with their Conjunx?" I tilted my head in thought

"Not necessarily. I've seen them do it with their Amicas too. It's kinda like how some bots interface with their Amicas."

"Oh." I slouched down again as I began to think about it. Even though he was my Amica Endura, I had never done something so intimate with Hot Rod before. Or anyone for that matter.

"Would you... like to try it? Kissing I mean!" Hot Rod asked and corrected himself with highly uncharacteristic nervousness. I was a little caught off guard by his question, but I considered it none the less.

"You don't mind?"

"No!" Hot Rod immediately replied. "Not at all! You're my Amica. I care for you deeply."

"Have you ever... kissed someone before?" I was curious to know, but I wasn't sure if I was using that word right.

"No, I haven't... But I would like to with you." He seemed a little sheepish that he hadn't done it before. This was the first time I had ever seen him so... unconfident.

"Then sure!" I sat up straight with an excited grin. "Let's do it!" I looked over to the viewing screen again to get another look at what to do.

When I thought I had a good idea of how I needed to go about this I turned back to Hot Rod. I moved to sit on my knees between his open thighs and pressed our flat metal chests together, just like the two humans. "Is this okay?"

He didn't respond verbally, but he did nod his head rapidly. He sat up straight so that he didn't need to lean back on his arms for support. Hot Rod then wrapped his newly freed limbs around my waist, pulling my frame flush with his.

I began to get a bit nervous. I've never been this close to another person before in my entire life. This was apparently something that some people do with their Conjunx after all, and I felt my face start to flush pink.

Since it seemed that Hot Rod had decided to take the position of the male I took that of the female and wrapped my arms around his neck. Hot Rod was the first to move from here and I followed suit.

The first brush of contact my lips had with his startled me and I flinched back. I wasn't sure how Hot Rod was going to react that. I didn't want him to think I wasn't comfortable enough with him as my Amica to be like this. However, his carefree chuckle reassured me.

"Heh. Sorry." I apologized, shifting my gaze away from his eyes.

"Don't be. It's okay. Do you want to try again?" Hot Rod tilted his head and gave me a soft look.

"Yeah. It just surprised me. And I've never seen another Cybertronian do this."

"It's mainly a human thing. Is that okay?" He looked like he was becoming more and more unsure of continuing.

"Of course! It's just different. Which isn't a bad thing! I-" I cut myself off before I could start rambling. "I think I'm ready now."

"Hehe. Alright." Hot Rod pulled me flush with him again. This time when our lips met I was prepared.

It was honestly a bit awkward at first, but after a few tries with different angles, we managed to find a good rhythm. I was sure that I had it down. That is until Hot Rod's lips parted mine and his tongue traced my top lip.

This time I didn't pull away despite my shock. I wasn't confident enough to openly reciprocate, but I did move my own tongue to the edge my lips. Hot Rod then resealed our lips and tangled our tongues together.

Now I had no clue what I was supposed to do, so I just let my Amica take over the interaction. This isn't unusual for us. Hot Rod has always had the more dominant personality out of the two of us. It's not uncommon for him to take charge of situations when we're together.

The kiss went on for a while and ended up getting very intricate and heated. At some point, Hot Rod had grabbed my thighs and hooked them around his waist so that I was sitting in his lap. I was beginning to wonder if this is how all kisses go, and if this is what human friends do, then what do human lovers do?

Then Hot Rod's engine revved. We both instantly let go. I pulled back and slid off of his lap, but kept my legs draped over his. "Sorry."

"It's alright. My fans were about to turn on anyway." I reassured him.

"Well, that makes me feel a little better." He chuckled and leaned forward, placing his forehead on my shoulder. I leaned my head on top of his and we stayed like this for a while in comfortable silence. Hot Rod was the first to break that silence. "Wanna continue watching the movie?"

"Yeah!"

~Present~

It was a pleasant memory with my Amica, and it was only later, after watching the other movies Hot Rod sent me, that I found out that human friends do kiss sometimes but not like that. I'm sure Hot Rod didn't know at the time either and must have been too embarrassed to tell me otherwise himself.

Unfortunately, we haven't had the chance to recreate our bond since Hot Rod was reformed into Rodimus. When Hot Rod merged with the Matrix and became Rodimus all ties he had to anyone were severed. I was hoping that this trip would allow us the chance to become Amica Enduras again. 'If he still wants to be that is.'

This time when I turned a corner I decided to start opening doors and hope for the best. The best being Rodimus behind one of them or someone who could lead me to him.

After opening every door down two different hallways, and finding nothing but small storage units, I stumbled upon the hab suites.

"HOW BIG IS THIS PLACE!?" I yelled in utter surprise and lifted my hands up to my head and rubbed harshly at it. I quickly got bored of walking around and decided to choose one of the rooms, so I could set my stuff down and look for Rodimus faster.

The fifth room I looked into seemed nice and everything was low enough for me to use without any hassle. I sat down so that the bottom of the case was flat on the floor and unhooked it from my shoulders and hips.

I got back up and stretched out, turning my abdomen left then right, and then rotating my shoulders. Thanks to my body's nature the box and its contents weren't heavy, but the constant weight on my frame did cause some discomfort after a while, and I was in line for a few hours.

I began to hear the quantum engines startup meaning we were about to leave. "I better go find Rodimus before he thinks that he left without me or that I didn't come."

THE BRIDGE

Rodimus was now in a very foul mood. He didn't want to deal with Nova Gen going back on her word, and he certainly didn't want to deal with whatever Red Alert was saying Ratchet brought on board. He trusted her. Something he didn't do very often.

'The least she could have done was call and make up some half decent excuse for not even showing up. In the past, she would always tell me if she wouldn't be able to see me and why. Ninety percent of the time it was because of her stupid job, but she said she quit.' Rodimus didn't even take the time to realize that she wouldn't do something like that to anyone, let alone to him. He was too upset.

"It can wait. It's time we were off," Rodimus said, not even bothering to hide the anger and irritation in his voice.

"I'm sorry your friend didn't come, Rodimus." Drift came up behind the red mech and rested a comforting hand on his shoulder, but Ultra Magnus spoke up before Rodimus could reply.

"Incoming call from Bumblebee. Want to take it?" Rodimus shrugged Drift's hand off of his shoulder without so much as looking at him.

"No." With that Rodmius gave the command to lift off.

IN NOVA GEN'S HAB

I felt the ship begin to leave the surface of Cybertron, so I made my way to the door. I pressed the button to open the door when suddenly a huge explosion went off somewhere on the ship not too far from my position. I was propelled to the other side of the hab suite by the sheer force of it. Whenever I hit the back wall I could feel throbbing pain spread throughout my head and into the internal neural network of my brain.

Shadows began to creep into the outer edges of my vision, making everything around me fade into darkness. 'Well,'

Holy shit guys Rivers' supernatural monster is actually a werewolf. Werewolf!Rivers is actually real

This is an excerpt from the Pinkerton Diaries, it's one of the concepts developed before SFTBH :)

[retphienix]

Supporting argument + Positive Loki ramble (with small counter point):

Loki can straight up become invuln for over 10 seconds (arsenal shows the ally invuln which is double) with no shards invested (Molt eff doesn't show in arsenal, it's over 10)

Can refresh this invuln whenever he wants for EXTRA cheap (25 energy base), AND the invuln is IMMUNE TO NULLIFIERS:

The downsides are just that it's a touch clunky- not insanely clunky- but you do need LOS and it is an "either / or" type move when it comes to giving allies invuln- if you invuln an ally you don't get invuln which is the tiniest bit clunky but more than fine. The duration being "only" 10~ seconds is another part of the clunk, but it keeps you involved and doesn't need to be actually kept up 100% of the time etc etc etc

Loki has a conveniently 'smooth' invis in terms of usability, not much to say on it, it's the most basic invis in the game- it offers no additional benefits but also no additional 'costs' like crouch spam or speed penalties- invis as a core concept is really good in warframe! And Loki has a high duration one:

If a Loki player wants to not die, they probably aren't ever going to die. Between lower level players being able to enjoy invis - and higher end players just going "Ah, my invulnerability is running low, time to spend the smallest amount of energy ever to refresh it all with no opening provided for my enemy (unlike Rev for example)" he won't die.

But like, yeah, I agree with the sentiment that he's "bad" and could benefit from a rework- small or large tbh.

It's not that his kit is not "capable of doing insane things".

It's CC focused with no additional bells to make the CC worth it (sadly a necessity in modern frame design) and 'unconventionally' tanky and that's kinda it. Those ARE tools that can do insane things (as mentioned above) it's just his "insane things" kinda cap out at "I can tank anything and have 2-3 flex abilities for helminth"

Worth pointing out that I'd argue REVENANT is a bad kit for much the same reason, where he's got survivability (like Loki) and then 3 abilities that do nothing for his game plan.

Now are those 3 bad? Nah. Enthrall is nice for distracting during some objectives (augment is too unreliable and is additive so not mentioning), reave and danse CAN be used as DPS tools, very well actually! But there are many reasons you don't see them used that way too often, namely being clunky, expensive (in terms of build demands), and frankly- not fun to use offensively.

Rev's kit is bad. He's okay.

Loki can be invuln forever, invis is always useful though arguably redundant with how good invuln is but arguably NOT redundant because invuln is much more end-game geared due to duration demands so invis is great for low content AND end game in-between invulns so that's okay-

His decoy can be abused with the invuln since it has (if I recall correctly) the HIGHEST threat value in the game... which is good.... but... I mean, we don't really have much content that demands such a tool- but a good tool to have in the pocket! But also part of why I say his kit is outdated, it doesn't "do" enough for modern warframe.

And his disarm is nice. Just nice. Part of why I think it counts for the "could use redone" argument because just like Decoy- it's NICE to disarm everyone and (with augment) rad proc em but it's also just, not useful most of the time. Chances are it's being cast because you have spare energy so why not- not being you NEED to make everyone stop shooting stuff.

Loki's kit is bad. He's okay.

Both are infinite invuln warriors in their own right, and can do insane stuff.

It's just that in warframe, with so many moving parts, so many options, so many "attempts" by the devs to grant options that grant relevancy to even "bad" frames- "Bad" is like, still pretty damn good lmao

Bad = Pretty good actually

There's a reason why as of typing every single "worst warframe in the game" is still Steel Path endurance capable. Because warframes overall are just insanely full of potential, even the "bad" kits.

That said, while I think Loki is due for a moderate touch up, I will be ridiculously upset if they touch his invuln playstyle without SEVERELY buffing his invis playstyle.

Also I'll be pissed if he becomes a "press 4 to frame" frame, like come on! He doesn't need that! Don't do that, DE! I know every 2 IQ frame player hates any frame that isn't press 4 but please please please don't do that ;-;

Side note: I only just realized this, when you go in a nully the duration of safeguard disappears from your buff bar as if it was removed, but it just isn't, huh.

Point stands, but that's an awkward interaction lol

People say Loki is a bad warframe, that he needs a rework, that his first skill is useless, that he folds like wet tissue paper. I went into a steel path mission and took less damage than the Revenant, never went down even once, and as a bonus was able to make my decoy completely invincible for sixteen seconds off of one ability cast. I think people just see that Loki isn't a press-4-to-win frame and dump him.

Rewatching the "(If You're Wondering I Want You To) I Want You To" MV and seeing the weezers and mini weezers in Weezerville had me question a few things:

How do the weezers reproduce? Are the weezers all male or are there other variants?

How were the little weezers born? Or are they born at all? Or do the little weezers just sorta appear out of nowhere?

Do they have like a government? Is there a hierarchy? Is their mayor a Rivers?

Are there any Jasons, Matts, and Mikeys around or have they gone extinct? Or are they stages of evolution for the Scotts and Brians? Are the Scotts and Brians natives?

Drawing yaoi of them rn

[revrads]

Idk if the Father Ted fandom is still alive (or if it even exists) but uhhhh who here wants to hear my LennGuire (Damo x Dougal) headcanons? :D

[revrads]

Y'all ever get so sick and tired of your current interest you resort to going back to your old ones?

In other words, I'm drawing and writing Father Ted yaoi again
