Aioros Week Day 3: Amethyst

when in doubt make him sit like a renaissance painting and crop it (aka I didn’t know how to pose the boy)

[ratatatastic]

sasha charades continue!! but first a little mix up on productions part of who has the "sasha celly" prompt which is lundy so luosty has to sit down again for lundy whos going 2nd

me! me me me me!! i have the prompt!! its me!! (during their stage intros at the beginning the mc slipped them a piece of paper with a prompt on it)

boys very excited to see how lundy will piss off sasha this time; on the menu? imitating how sasha barely cellies

a wrist shot and an arm up in barely kept enthusiasm as he glides to the bench in solemenity as a sasha goal and celly

and on the accuracy scale?

well the tapes surely speak for themselves here...

it seems sasha has a better connection with lundy (or maybe its really obvious and lundy has teased him exactly like this before XD; no fucking doubt about it that he has) because he basically gets it in an instant (unsurprising considering when they played a newly weds-esque game they ended up tying 8 a piece which is honestly really impressive considering how much luosty floundered with mikksy)

feat. the nosy finnish peanut gallery eagerly awaiting sashas response. SHIT STIRRERS. THE LOT OF YOU.

sasha who seems to take lundys teasing a lot better than mikksys can giggle about this one without too much trouble also because hes guessed it right for once he must feel relieved lmaooo

okay before I lose my thought (MASSIVE Rise of the Beasts spoilers re: Unicron)

in my opinion rotb handled Unicron perfectly.

when I first watched the full trailer & saw Unicron my second thought was "oh no" (my first being "YOOOOOO") because in the bumblebee-rotb timeline it seemed extremely early to be involving him. I went into the movie almost resigning myself to the thought that it would end with Unicron being destroyed & never seen again, because he was advertised as the main Big Bad.

but the truth is, Scourge was the main Big Bad. and while Unicron made several appearances and had more than one line, the primary thing he did was loom over the narrative like the slow approach of death - he did more than haunting the narrative, I think, but aside from his interactions with the Terrorcons and his arrival at the final scene, he was largely uninvolved in the main conflict, and was in the end defeated momentarily rather than destroyed.

what we did see of him was always displays of power: the destruction of the Maximals' homeworld, his ability to supply the battlefield with endless Terrorcon footsoldiers, his mindscape-meeting with Scourge wherein he tortured Scourge for failing him from Primus knows how far away. hell, even Scourge, Battletrap, and Nightbird themselves were living proof of Unicron's power - ruthless, near-invincible supersoldiers who've killed enough Cybertronians and Cybertronian-adjacent lifeforms to steal and wear their badges like a bounty hunter collects trophies. on-screen all of this is done through Unicron's power, the extension of his will - and not, notably, by Unicron himself.

this wasn't Unicron's moment to shine, only to be destroyed so early in the narrative.

this was the moment that painted a target on Earth, and on Optimus Prime. this was the moment that established how Unicron is accustomed to taking thralls from other worlds while also killing off the ones he already had, laying the potential groundwork for Galvatron or even Sideways. this was the moment that showed off just how powerful Unicron and his allies are without cramming it into the first fifteen minutes of another movie down the line, and when he appears again we'll already know just how fucked the protagonists are.

this was the setup to Unicron's moment to shine. though I'd hoped Unicron would get more screentime, rotb ultimately handled Unicron with the severity he deserves; for that, it was perfect.

sidenote: I got very big "then perish" vibes at the end of the movie, when Unicron said smth like "think about this, Prime. I could give you anything you want." and Optimus responded with "then DIE!!". it was dramatic in the moment but remembering it got me a good laugh

31 Days of Horror Recs: Are you truly besties if you're not willing to spend some quality murder time together?

A play on slasher movies as well as teen movies, Tragedy Girls is just a really fun watch. McKayla and Sadie, best friends forever, are just trying to live their best lives and that just happens to involve murder. The movie loves to play around with conventions of both slasher and teen movies in ways that are not just entertaining but actually interesting to watch. The small touches are where it really shines in my opinion. There are several minor things the movie does that aren't integral to plot or characters but that were obviously just done to play around with the genre and tropes and I really appreciate that this movie was willing to take the time and energy to do them.

Synopsis: Two death obsessed teen girls use the internet to send their small town in a frenzy in an attempt to become famous.

You must not have thought too highly of Courtney though considering the literal hottest bot in the galaxy was willing to throw herself to you and instead your interest was solely on Clank. Is your type small and nerdy Dr. Nefarious?

"UMMM... what are you IMPLYING here?" Was he going to have to shoot this faceless blob-creature? Sure, he may have an autographed collector's edition box set of Secret Agent Clank, along with director's commentary and various forms of merch but—that still didn't change the fact that Secret Agent Clank was a fictional character that Clank played! He wasn't even real! And Clank had flat-out refused to help him at the time! The deception! The betrayal!!

"I OBVIOUSLY had more important things on my mind at the time than her! Like, oh I don't know, TOTAL GALACTIC CONQUEST!! And besides, she was probably just using me for publicity anyway! She totally thought the Biobliterator was going to work, and was sucking up to me! I could see it from a mile away! I certainly don't see her around anymore, do you?!"

I hate when companies use "We're family!" as an excuse to ask too much of their employees, or the nepotism towards family members. I have strong feelings because when I was a kid, my family owned a small printing company that my grandfather had started.

It was going through hard times (another gripe there, as it relates to the destruction of many small businesses), and this was how it was dealt with:

The non-family workers got priority for getting paid. When it got REALLY tough, they were encouraged to find work elsewhere. Not fired, just a "We don't know what's going to happen, so you should make sure you're taken care of" deal.

Then the in-laws, like my mom, and children, like my eldest cousin on that side.

Then the non-management immediate family (it was owned by my dad and uncle, while my two aunts - their sisters - worked in different positions).

When one of my aunts thought being family was enough to secure a steady paycheck and didn't actually work, they did the tough thing and caused some family drama by firing her. It was tough, the relationship has never been the same even though that was decades ago, but it needed to happen.

My uncle and father went months, even as much as a year, without paychecks, to ensure that everyone else got paid and the business could keep running.

THAT'S what "We're family" SHOULD mean. It means everyone gets taken care of. It means sacrifice by the HIGHEST, not the lowest.

Fuck companies that use it to demand sacrifice from the ones already with the least.

You do realize that Jango Fett was a sentimental bastard. He flew his adoptive father's (Jaster Mereel) ship until he was physically forced to get the Slave I. So Boba being sentimental and flying his dad's ship all his life is so completely in line with the character. That was what Lucas intended when he introduced Boba as Jango's son. That's where Boba got his iconic ship and armor — from his father.

What in the actual fuck XD XD XD

You do realize that the last post on my blog tagged “Jango Fett” is from August, and is mostly about Zam Wesell being a wonderful disaster, right? And my last post tagged for dear Bob’ika is from October, and is a post about “bachelorchow” from Futurama, and the tag is from me rambling about how I wish I could eat the grey nutrient paste that his ship’s computer synthesizes for him, yeah?

If you’re going to send people anonymous screeds like this, please include some kind of context so that we know what post or idea it is you’re angry about. Because like...yeah, I have seen Attack of the Clones, I was there at midnight when it opened the first time in the worst Zam Wesell costume the world has ever seen let's not talk about that, I do in fact know where Fett’s armor and ship come from?? I’m not sure what this anon is in reference to???

[brainisafk]

Taash has joined the others, now they just need to do Davrin's quest and have another conversation or two with Neve to finish them all. Also swept for side quests and chests, there's ONE SINGLE CHEST that I can't get because it's refusing to target a gaatlok barrel but otherwise the entire zone is done. \o/

Hossberg is next, then they will be heading to Treviso to finish up this thing. I may be internally screaming a little bit whenever I think about it. >.>

Holy fucking shit sending a wire to close on a property is intense

[madegeeky]

Let me preface this by saying, no one got hurt and nothing else caught fire which is alarming to hear, I know, but less alarming than me just blurting out:

So our dishwasher caught fire last week. >.<

We were running it early. I was in the living room (which is right next to the kitchen) and Mr. Geeky was in the kitchen. We had turned the dishwasher on earlier than normal because it kept getting stuck at specific part in the cycle and we wanted to see it happen.

So, suddenly from the living room, I hear a pop/crack noise and a "oh shit" and a cabinet being slammed open and an absolutely horrific smell of burning plastic and Mr. Geeky comes out of the kitchen and goes "The dishwasher caught fire." And I was just like O.o

And he's not being dramatic, he was far enough away he could see a little under the dishwasher and there were literal flames. Luckily, the dishwasher has a kill switch so he turned it off immediately (its in the cabinet under the sink which is why there was the sound of the cabinet being slammed open).

It smelled awful, y'all. Fortunately, we were leaving for my Mom's the next day so we popped a window open, stuck a fan in it pointing outward, and put some mats and towels around it so any rain/snow wouldn't end up on the wood and left.

We got back yesterday and, good news, we no longer want to die going into the kitchen. Bad news, there is still definitely a smell despite it being a week. We've removed any melted/burnt parts we've can and have tried scrubbing the parts we can't removed to try to get off any extra burnt bits we can.

I am hopeful that the smell is coming from the dishwasher so once that is removed (later this week) the smell will be gone entirely. My fear is the smell has gotten into the walls or the floor in a place that will be impossible to get to once the new dishwasher is installed. And they are removing the old and installing the new one at the same time (which makes sense).

So later today I'm going to go sniffing around and see if I can smell it particularly strongly on the wall or something. Since the smell is coming from the bottom of the dishwasher there's not much point to trying to smell the floor but I'll probably still try anyway.

Y'all, it seems weird to say this, but we were so lucky. We normally turn the dishwasher on right before we go to bed (so it runs while we sleep) and we usually turn on the dishwasher right before leave to my Mom's (so it runs with our last minute dishes after we leave). We only had it on cause it was acting just a little wonky and we wanted to be there to see what was happening.

Mr. Geeky says that it wouldn't have caused a huge fire or anything but holy shit, y'all, can you imagine waking up or coming home to whatever the fuck it would have been like if Mr. Geeky hadn't been there to put it out within seconds of it happening?

So I guess salute to the universe for being cool enough that if this was going to happen, making sure it happened while we were here and awake.

And huge fucking salute to Mr. Geeky for having the fucking reflexes of a ninja cause I don't think it took even 10 seconds for him to see the fire and then turning off the dishwasher.

Anyway, cross your fingers that the smell is only in the dishwasher and leaves when it's removed.

Almost could say there has been a theme with the character count down so far... unlikely it will continue, still it jumped out at me, like I needed that sorta hit to the face to make up for the good karma of Season 2 dropping on my birthday. Thank you for your posts.
