3. What is one of your favorite trips that you've taken? What made it great?

Being born at the end of the Depression in a small village in Canada just south of the tundra would not seem to give one travel aspirations. We did not even have television to inspire us. But aspire I did.  I longed to see the exotic places pictured in National Geographic. I wanted to see a real castle and visit places where people looked, dressed and spoke differently than we did.

  This penchant to see things that were new to me came early. My mother took my two brothers and I to Winnipeg to visit her oldest sister, my aunt, Caroline Sitter.  I saw a sight I will always remember.  The novelty was a neon sign which we had never seen, and this one moved.  It had three little pigs jumping into a can of Klik, Canada’s equivalent to Spam.  We loved that sign and marveled at such ingenuity. I was ready to see the rest of the world.

We had many vacations to Canada to visit family.  On one trip to Sioux Lookout for Christmas our car froze and we spent most of the next day dealing with the car.  My first trip abroad was to Germany..My second husband was an Air Force officer and we were able to fly free when space was available..Just before Easter of 1974 we flew to Germany.  We rented a car.  We visited castles on the Rhine and experienced the autobon..at speeds that terrified us.  We flew on to Madrid, Spain and while attempting to visit the presidential palace we found ourselves adrift in the middle of a Good Friday procession in a very Catholic country.  It was an experience.  We went North to Segovia to see a great aquaduct still in use.  We visited Queen Isabella’s castle from where she bid Columbus “Goodbye”. Peter who was 10 at the time remembered the old lady dressed all in black.  She had a long nose with a wart on the end.  She sold trinkets outside the palace wall.  When we returned home  and Peter’s friend David asked what he saw in Europe Peter told him about this woman. We went on to Malaga where we picked fresh oranges off the tree.  We went on to Fuengirola where we swam on the Costa del Sol.  It was April and we welcomed the warmth.

When Jaylyn was in College she did a semester in the South of England. I paid her a visit during that time and we spent a couple days in London experiencing the pigeons in Trafalger Square, and Harrods where we could afford only the smallest treasures. We watched the guard change at Buckingham palace.  We took the train to Stonehenge and absorbed the mystery of that place. We returned to Salisbury for the end of evensong. The young choir boys  all in their robes with Elizabethan collars looked angelic. We visited Bath and went to a puppet show there.  

In 1988 I took a solo trip to Scotland and England. I had not planned to go alone but shortly before our planned trip my husband revealed to me that he had been having a long standing affair with a “friend” from our church in Bedford with whom he frequently played tennis..I decided to go alone to Scotland and decide what to do about my marital situation when I returned.  I was visiting a cousin of my first husband.  The family  had always stayed in touch with me and the children after our divorce. The cousin I was visiting, Maurice Paterson and his wife Avril had visited us in Warner. Maurice showed me the houses in Glasgow once occupied by relatives now long deceased. We took a trip North with his Mother,  aunt Nancy Paterson to visit places the early Joss family lived and worked.  An uncle, Peter Joss, and his wife Leslie, took me to Edinburgh and a visit to the castle. I had bought a Brit rail pass and proceeded to head across England. I went to York and visited the cathedral there .  Restorations had just been completed. I visited Oxford and went down to Penzance.  I made my way back to London for a bit more sightseeing.  I went to St Pauls  and Westminster Abby.  There I stood where kings  and queens and heads of state had also stood. I flew home. Along my travels I considered the state of my marriage and the knowledge that i could not overlook such a betrayal.  I would, and did divorce Philip Miller Pahl

    .

My neighbors in Warner, Janet and Spence Danby had a villa in the Praia de Salema in Portugal.  They spent winters there. We were good friends and Janet invited me to visit.  I made the trip in Spring when all the olive trees were at the end of their bloom and the earth was covered in their fallen blossoms referred to as Algarve snow.  We visited Sintra.  We watched fishermen sit on small rock ledges and reel in large fish without falling. They were lowered to their ledges by rope and a very trusted friend I presume.  We watched the fishermen in Lagos bringing their catch to the market on the shore.We hiked daily and sipped very good but inexpensive wine in the evening. It was a beautiful time.

My first trip to Tuscany was with friends from Warner.  Our hotel was within easy walking distance to the National Gallery, the Uffizzi, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the market, the Ponte Vecchio and the train station.  I saw Michaelangelo’s ,”David” at the National Gallery,  Titian’s, “Birth of Dawn” was at the Uffizzi.  There seemed to be an endless number of great paintings there. We took a bus tour to Sienna, a  town of many steeples competing to be the highest. The narrow cobblestone streets were used for an annual horse race which seemed like madness incarnate to me. My friend, Fran and I took the train to Arezzo, the birthplace of Guido, who in 990 invented the musical scale.  We went to Pisa with its incredibly leaning tower..  Years later when Hillary graduated from High School, I did this same trip with her.  This time she persuaded me to climb every step to the top of the dome of the Cathedral de Santa Maria del Fiore.  It was her first trip to Europe and she too loved Florence. In Feosole we witnessed a vigorous conversation between a policeman and an Italian woman double parked outside a bakery.  We could not understand what was said but no neon lights were necessary to understand the meaning of the event.

My next adventures was again with Fran Brown, a realtor from Warner and a neighbor couple .. We were on our way the the French Riviera. I was the only one of the four of us who had our drivers license with us.  I was designated. The hotels in Nice on the beach were impressive but the beach was not the sand to which we are accustomed. It was pebbles,  loose pebbles difficult to navigate. It was March and we came with no plans to be swimming.  We decided to visit Monaco.  It was a series of switchbacks to get there and the same in reverse to get out. I was more than ready to be in the countryside.  We drove to Aix en Provence..I walked to the atelier of Paul Cezanne and his famous still life with the blue tablecloth and bowl of onions was set just as it is in his famous painting. I trust someone changes the onions at regular intervals. My most favorite part of that trip was our trek through Avignon and Arles.  In Avignon we sang the song we learned in eighth grade French class, “Sur la ponte, D’Avignon”. Van Gogh painted 187 paintings in Arles.  His art lives on there in many ways.  Our hotel room was decorated like his four room yellow house in Arles.  The house was bombed in WWII but the replica is accurate. Coffee shops have his influence in their cups and napkins.The yellow of his fields, haystacks and house were evident everywhere. Arles was worth the whole trip.

As I had done for Hillary I planned to take Anne to Europe for her High School graduation gift but her Mom took her to Paris and Switzerland so my trip came much after the fact.  In 2012 AAA offered a 10 day vacation in Ireland for a set price.  We received a booklet listing all the participating Bed and Breakfast establishments and we made our plans with all our reservations confirmed before we left.  We flew to Dublin and were transported to our hotel downtown which was lovely.  We toured Guinness Beer and for our participation were treated to a pint.  Anne had hers and mine.  I have not one taste bud that can tolerate beer no matter how good or famous it is claimed to be.  We were to pick up our car the next morning.  This was our first, but only glitch in the entire trip.  Since neither Anne nor I had driven a standard shift for years I did order an automatic shift.  We were given (with profuse apologies) a standard shift Opal.with no instructions.  We hopped to a start and I drove about 6 blocks to find a place to make a u turn with this vehicle.  I could not drive on the “wrong” side of the road on streets that seemed  too narrow for two bicycles to safely pass.  We went back to the car rental and the Irish man oozing Irish charm from every pore.  He would now set us up with a,” lovely car”, and with a grand flourish of papers and charm he set down the paperwork and keys to a new Jaguar.  Anne was thrilled.  I was consumed with the dread of debtors prison if we harmed this car.  We were on our way.  I drove to Cork.  Anne drove the rest of the trip.. She loved it and did a fine job.  We visited Waterford and watched the glassblowers and etchers.  We went on to the Dingle Peninsula.  People everywhere were kind, helpful and very friendly.  Meals were hardy and huge.  We frequently laughed at the enormous servings.Our B&B’s were always clean and some were very elegant.  We drove along the Hills of Moher.  The rich, lush greenness is everywhere.  We joined the cue but only watched as others contorted their bodies in order to kiss the Blarney Stone.   We drove on roads we shared with sheep and cows.  We ferried across Galway  Bay and drove on to Kylemore Castle.  It continued at that time to be occupied by Benedictines.  They are unbelievable gardeners.Every blade of grass and every petal and bough was in its proper place.  We visited ruins of very old churches .  We saw more Ankh crosses  than we thought existed.  We were making our way to our B&B near the airport..  We both admitted to feeling sad that it was coming to its end. It is a most beautiful country. and we both hoped very much that we would be back one day. Ireland has been a most favorite trip but I have to admit that there are many exotic and wonderful places I’ve never seen and like Ireland, I cannot fathom the beauty until I experience it.

It is not possible to compare one vacation trip to another.  They all have their individual history, charm and mystique. Dbrovnik, Croatia was one of those places. We swam in the Adriatic Sea. Our hotel was just outside the ancient wall The old city within the wall had cobblestone streets.  The antiquity of the place was slightly disturbed by the presence of modern movie equipment filming the TV show, “Game of Thrones”.  It was all interesting.  The shop keepers were very helpful and friendly.  We walked the entire length of the wall,  It was high above the sea and obviously very advantageous to interfere with any threat from the sea.  We visited Montenegro and saw salt being retrieved from the sea.  Montenegro also has a great wall  that predates that of China.. We went  to Mostar in Bosnia Herzegovina and there I saw more minarets than I will likely see for the rest of my life. We saw men walking into the mosques while the women knelt on the concrete outside with their faces to the ground.  Mostar is known for its iconic arched bridge, Stari Most, a reconstructed arched bridge.  We were accosted by beggars as we crossed the bridge who felt free to slap us if we did not give them money.  Our group was turned out of one restaurant because one woman in our group was wearing a sundress and her shoulders were bare.  I was glad to have experienced that place but  also very happy to be away from there and safely back in Croatia..  Dubrovnk was a great trip and given my age and infirmities, it will have been my last trip overseas.

Aside from my travels in Europe, I loved the Virgin Islands and Bermuda .  The Canadian Rockies remain one of my favorite destinations.I made one trip with Anne, Diggs and Jaylyn..  I returned to the Rockies with Pete, Jenn and Kalote before Kalote was even walking.. Pete, Kalote and I returned when Kalote was older.  I made the trip once with Kip and Bobbie. The mountains are magnificent.  The greenness of Lake Louise is unforgettable.. On one trip as we left the parking lot we heard eery unfinished strains of, “:Amazing Grace” .  As we approached the lake we could clearly see an older gentleman in lederhosen giving tips to a visitor on playing an alpine horn surrounded by mountains.  I have photographed Kalote as a baby and in later years with Takakah Falls in the background.  We have stopped on the highway for rock slides to be cleared and to allow the ring horned sheep pass in droves.  We have had elk grazing at our motel window in Banff.  Anne,Diggs, Jaylyn and I rode the gondola to the top of Sulphur Moubtain.    I have driven through the Frazier Canyon. in British Columbia and  have visited the Maritime  provinces on the other end of Canada.  i have returned to Sioux Lookout and Thunder Bay for class reunions. I have traveled in the United States . I have never needed any provocation to travel and have found something to enjoy and admire everywhere I visited .

To choose one travel  experience over another as a favorite is an impossible exercise.  They cannot be compared. Each enlarges ones experience of life.  Each arouses a curiosity about something  or some place previously unexplored. Every adventure has the potential to allow us to see a broader picture, to think a new way, to align our views in new order.. Then again, it may just be that three little pigs jumping into a can of Klik provoke those curiosities that make you want to see and experience what you have not known before .

旅遊／羅馬帝國遺跡 中歐5國巡禮

旅遊歐洲

立青 2023-08-20

歐洲的平原是令人羨慕的，從法國到俄國一路平坦，難怪拿破崙的鐵騎和希特勒的坦克喜歡在此遊蕩，德國的農產品好像只有綠的啤酒花和黃的芥菜花，農田風光看來非常悅目。慕尼黑除了啤酒和足球外，還有BMW。

單向三線最右掛出約90公里的速限，中間的是120公里，最左則空白就是傳說中的「Autobon」系統了，事實上只是超車線道。無論開多快，超了車就得回道右車道，讓出左車道給別人超車用，一路下來無人違規，等於多出一條高速公路。反觀美國，自認有了路權，龜速行車你奈我何？

歐洲都市裡的自行車，還真有路權，人行道上有個一米左右的自行車優先道，被撞到算你倒楣！

★布拉格 皇冠上的寶石

捷克的皇宮和城堡還真有看頭，無奈時間有限，只能走馬看花。倒是「查理大橋」是用步勘的。因為跨越新舊市區，想看原汁原味的老城鎮，就得步行漫遊。

橋面的兩側，豎立了許多以神話和宗教人物、故事為背景的大理石雕像，栩栩如生值得一再駐足欣賞。卡夫卡是布拉格人，有所紀念館被許多野生天鵝圍繞。他的「存在主義」在大學念書時很流行，但時至今日，我還是搞不清楚他在說啥？

斯洛伐克國家很小，在前蘇聯解體時才與捷克分了家，共同特點就是人高馬大。不算矮的我在人群中，飽受壓力。由於長期專制統治，人��顯得保守，他們的手工織品很美也很便宜。

談到我喜愛「新世界交響曲」的作曲家德弗札克時，一定拚死力爭，他絕對不是捷克人。好聽的音樂就是好聽，絕不會因作曲者的國籍而變更。

我無意中閒逛，發現了巧克力「方度」(火鍋)，用蛋捲沾了吃，很合我味口。當地的人民非常自豪，沒有人願意移民離開，但是川普夫人梅蘭妮亞是一位例外。

★布達佩斯 總結一個美字

匈牙利首都布達佩斯的美，超出我原有想像。國家廣場上的雕像，已顯示出這是個多民族建立的國家，蒙古、哈薩克彎弓射箭勇士的雄姿，證明了成吉思汗的子弟確實來過。尤其「匈牙利燉牛肉」這道名菜，就很有東方風味。

圓頂的國會大樓建築之美，無與倫比，依偎在多瑙河畔，相映生輝。我在白天、晚上、陸路、水路多次的走訪���都有不同的感受，總結就是個「美」字。

布達佩斯是一河之隔的雙子城，其中由「鎖鍊橋」跨河聯結，其設計者好像就是巴黎鐵塔同一人，嘔心瀝血的建造成後，驕傲的宣稱：如果有人找到缺點，他就跳河。在眾人鼓掌讚美之際，一位九歲的男孩說：「橋頭獅子像沒有舌頭。」「噗通」有人真的跳河了。

★維也納 醉人的音樂之都

奧地利維也納是音樂之都，名副其實，音樂廳、芭蕾舞、歌劇院，處處林立。街頭兜售戲票的小販成群，想不去都很難。

歐洲都市公共廁所都要付費，我在維也納的莫札特廁所，就以1歐元(約1.09美元)在美麗的音樂中，解決了一件急事。

我住的酒店很好，打開窗戶就是多瑙河，可惜是灰色而不是藍色的。望見多條遊船往來其間，史特勞斯的圓舞曲調，就不由自主地哼了出來。「我愛西施」（Sissi）電影系列，是中學時代的偶像劇，女主角「羅美雪尼黛」更是男生們的夢中情人。我敢打賭，沒有一個人會記住男主角的名字，因為人人都在想取而代之。但這位茜茜公主確有其人，而且真的很漂亮，是一位深受奧地利人民愛戴的皇后。

莎斯堡是莫札特的誕生地，人傑地靈當然不在話下。莫札特真是天才，王公貴族喜歡，升斗小民更愛他，佳作連連，想說沒聽過都不可能。但命中犯沖，灣區的古典音樂電台連續25年，聽眾票選都排名第二，讓德國的貝多芬獨領風騷。

年來，真正出風頭的，卻是家喻戶曉的音樂電影「真善美」，故事以及電影的背景，就在此間。我個人已是影迷，看過無數遍，女兒更是厲害，居然看爛三盒錄影帶，其中歌曲，當然是倒背如流。

曾經橫跨歐亞非三大洲的羅馬帝國，經不起蒙古鐵騎的蹂躪，度過了黑暗時代的災難，仍然保有今天的成就，讓我大飽眼福，希望歐洲早日遠離戰爭和災難。

(The numbers and quoted names are from the National Autobon Society field guide to mushrooms, which I’m using as an indirect reference)

[sydney-akhlys]

The world is far too bright,

For God’s sake! — 

Please turn out the light.

Initiated by screens all day,

Another scroll and I fall prey. 

-

Like autobons we roam the halls,

Gasping at the sight of dark,

Like it hides the monster deep inside,

Who is He to you and I? 

-

Drifting though the blinding room,

seeing faces turned to doom,

letting the cycle carry you until —

the darkness seems a friend at last. 

[rose-in-a-fisted-glove]

Whale watch tomorrow for the first time!

I am super excited!!!

Hopefully I get to see some whales!

...Also, I wonder if that would count for the autobon society contest

[malidane]

Just some Merformers world building, don’t mind me-

Ok, so, this is literally just a large dump of whatever that’s related to my merformers AU, so it’s literally going to be so random (owo’) hope you enjoy this trash

—————————✧—————————

What are merformers?:

Well, there more like large humanoid fish than they are half fish half human. They have the basic upper body shape of a human — head, neck, arms, hands, torso — but all of their other characteristics are much more fish like. Their skin is often very colorful and can be any color under the sun and horns that grown almost anywhere on them. They also usually happen to be huge. You have the more human-sized ones called minimers, but the rest of them typically are several times larger that their land based cousins.

Merformers are very powerful creatures. While they already have inhuman strength and durability, they can also hold “superpowers”. All merformers are able to camouflage, but they mainly use this ability to change their “paint jobs”. Most stick to the colors they are born with though.

The reason they’re called merformers is the fact that they have the ability to transform into a human at will. They are very much naked, unless they had something in their larger form, but those don’t shrink down. Several mers have built small cabins by the sea that are stocked with clothes and canned goods. Many hide their valuables in their cabins, so no, they aren’t rarely used. Many mers actually stay in their cabins during the spring and fall when the weather isn’t going to dehydrate of freeze them. Only family or close friends know the location of a mer’s cabin as many valued items are there. These cabins don’t have appliances or anything of the such. Merformers aren’t very friendly with humans as they pollute their homes and cause plague breakouts with all their waste material — chemicals mainly. This means that they don’t associate themselves with humans very often. Their cabins have no electricity, plumbing, or anything of the like.

Merformer Racial Groups:

Yes, merformers have their own races. The saying “every shape serves a purpose” still stands in this AU and different merformers have different builds.

Whale Class - Very, very, large merformers made of more skin that scale or armor. They have long tails that resemble whale tails, and their fins usually aren’t webbed like other mers. They’re actual appendages. Examples are Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and Fortress Maximus.

Shark Class - Though usually smaller than those of the Whale Class, those of the Shark Class are large and powerful. They are basically Whale Class mers with shark tails and more teeth/claws. They often serve as guards or mine workers. Main example is Megatron (because I can’t think of any others right now XD).

Seeker Class - Dolphins. That’s all I have to say. They’re often seeing who can jump the highest out of the water. Examples include Slipstream, Dirge, and Ramjet (the main trine is part of this class but not fully).

Speed Class - Very flashy and very fast. They are often either very sleek and lack extra fins or are covered in them. Examples are Knockout and Blurr.

Octopus Class - Usually medics with all their tentacles. Good multitaskers and very sharp. They’re often more anxious mers are will go into camo mode when frightened. They can have beaks, like First Aid does. Examples are Ratchet and First Aid.

Eel Class - very silent, very slender, and very deadly. Often serve as spies or racers, but are usually very reclusive. Main example is Soundwave.

Norm Class - Just fishes (OwO) They have webbed fins and smaller bodies (usually) than the other classes.

Minimer Class - More of a subclass, but these mers are very tiny compared to their brethren. Human-sized. Often wear little visors and masks (still working on why). Examples are symbiotes (cassettes), Rewind, and Tailgate.

Mixed (subclass) - Mixed mers, or mers with parents of different classes. They’re not belittled for this. They’re just as popular as the Norm Class. They have one class they mainly stick with. Examples are the main seeker trine (seeker/shark class), Breakdown (shark/octopus class), and Soundwave (eel/octopus class).

There are probably more classes that I will add later, but these are the ones for now.

Merformer War(s):

Unless I come up with some marvelous idea, the Quintessa War never happened (n-n’) I don’t have a good idea that fits the lore yet

The main war is going on though. The Autobots are now called the Autobons (taken from the Latin word “bonum” with means “good”, they’re not rabbits) as I don’t think mers would take “bot” very kindly. Even if they want to protect humans, they still don’t appreciate their machines and what they’re doing to their home.

The Decepticon keep their name though. Megatron started the war in an attempt to overthrow the humans. He originally wasn’t going to try and wipe them out, but as the war has continued, his mentality has been highly skewed. He simply wanted to overthrow them and make them stop polluting the ocean, but Optimus wanted a more peaceful approach that wouldn’t cause them to break the ancient codes (one of them being “don’t talk to human, they will destroy you, yada yada”). With all the chaos, their home became desolate and uninhabitable (Bermuda Triangle). Only recently did the US government become part of the war, creating a “base” of sorts on land where the Decepticons usually never dwelt (it was an old aquarium, because the gov was cheap and wanted to stud-*cough* get to know them better). Several teens somehow find their way here (always teens, they basically make up the staff now) and were “hired” by the government in an attempt to keep them quiet. They consist of Spike, Buster, and Sam Witwicky, Sari Sumdac, Jack Darby, Miko Nadkadai, Raf Esquivel, Verity Carlo, Hunter O’Nein, and Jimmy Pink (small headcanon to my own AU that Verity is actually half mer and Magnus is very much her biological father, but I’m still working on that).

—————————✧—————————

That’s all I have for now. Feel free to ask questions! I’ll definitely be wanting to answer those. Also, sorry for any misspelled words. I didn’t really go back to spellcheck.

Sunday, July 31 - We sadly left Garmisch yesterday and I have fully decided I am mountain person. Tori still says she is ocean but the rest of us are mountain people. We are staying in Munich the next two nights. Kayla has to drive by Munich on her way home. (she is going back to work. We will head to her house on Tuesday.). She could fit 4 of us in her car so we road with her. Neil took the train. He was about an hour behind us as he had to wait a little bit for the train and it takes longer by train. The kids thought it was cool to be on the autobon. There were a few sports cars that whipped by us. Maybe 150 mph is our guess. The kids and I got to Munich at 9:30. Kayla dropped us off at the hotel. I went in just to see if we could leave our bags so the kids and I could go do something. Neil is a diamond member at Hilton so they actually let us check into our room and the very nice man told us “go put your bags in the room and come quick and eat the free breakfast!” He also gave us access for executive lounge so the kids could go have snacks and pop all day. We had already ate breakfast but we don’t turn down free German food, so we had a second breakfast while we waited for Neil. If you travel a lot, the diamond membership has been totally worth it this trip. It was so nice to be able to be in our room while we waited for Neil. Once Neil got here, we headed out to see the summer castle of the Bavarian kings and queens in the 1600s - 1800s. We then hit up Mariaenplatz in Munich and went to have a beer at the Hofbrauhaus (home of Oktoberfest). It was early to bed as we put on another 9 miles of walking yesterday.

Working at AutoBone as a 22 year old female in management I can certainly relate

Naw, I just submitted an ask about my shitty security cover guard yesterday but I have more.

Mans went to reset our lift panel, clicked the wrong thing and was just standing there looking confused so I go over to help him. I click the correct thing and go to reset it for him cause I figure hey you're probably not sure how this works and he SMACKS MY HAND AWAY.

I am fuming. Don't touch me, don't disrespect me and stay in your lane sir, you are TEMPORARY. You are filling in. Calm down, I'm your superior right now.

He then proceeded to try and explain to me how resetting the panel worked and it took everything in me not to scream at him so instead I went for a very passive aggressive "Yes, I'm usually the person who does that so...I know"

Like fuck off dude stop pretending like you know better than me just cause you're an old man and I'm a young woman, cause I know for a fact that's what this is.

Autobons, Autria and Advent markets.

Thank goodness I got permission to start driving again! The Autobahn and I get along like peas and carrots! I loved driving in Austria, it was fast but safe. Everyone follows the same rules, stick to the right unless you are passing a car and let the people going faster than you go by you on the left (not gonna lie… I did my fair share of passing!).

Salzburg was simply amazing! I felt at…

Two days ago we flew from Raleigh, to Boston, to Ireland, and finally landed in Frankfurt 15 hours later. When we got to Germany my mom’s work friend, Manfred, picked us up and then got his key locked in his car. We got coffee in the airport while we waited for his assistant to bring him an extra key. An hour later we got in the car and drove on the Autobon to Geissen. Upon arrival we were shown around his home which is very pretty. Out front he has a coy pond filled with quite a few coy, and in the back there is a patio and cabana. They have two pugs and a cat, one pug has a hurt paw and the cat needed stitches because of a recent injury. Soon it was time to eat, and Simone, Manfred’s wife, had made us a feast. We ate and ate and ate and then ate some more. The jetlag and food and warm sun made us very sleepy but if we slept then we wouldn’t become accustom to the time change so we went for a walk. Manfred drove my parents and I to a little lake with a path around it. Since the weather was so nice, 60 degrees, there were lots of people fishing and little kids playing near the water. After returning home I got to meet Simone’s son, Nico, and his girlfriend, Lena. They were very welcoming and did their best to translate whenever anyone was speaking just German. I literally get so confused and try so hard to understand but I have absolutely no background of German. Everyone smokes and drinks and talks, that’s all we did the first night.

The Relationship Between the Merformers and the Humans

The relationship between the humans and the merformers has always been complicated. According to the mers, it’s been this way since the dawn of time.

—————————✧—————————

A long, long time ago, there stood two brothers. One, Unicron, was the embodiment of the sun while the other, Primus, was the embodiment of the moon. They were very close to each other, and worked in unity to keep the Earth in check.

But, as stories like this always go, Unicron became jealous of his brother’s abilities. He stole the Allspark from Primus, a vessel used to create life, and created the first human. Unicron was proud of his new creation, as he saw they were very innovative and clever, and showed it to Primus.

Primus, while proud of his brother, saw what this new life would do to the world and told his brother they couldn’t let them thrive. Unicron was enraged and resisted, claiming that Primus was jealous of his creation and wanted them gone so he could create his own version and take credit. Seeing as he couldn’t talk sense into his brother, Primus began planning how to equal out his brother’s chaotic new species.

Thus, Cymatronians, or Merformers, were born.

Where humans would destroy and replace, mers would coexist and give. They loved the world and all of its beautiful, and are very in tune with nature. Primus gave them the ability to shift into humans so that they could push for the survivor their planet without being ridiculed and pushed aside. Not wanting the humans to know of his children, he forbad them from interacting with them in their true forms.

Fast forward to today, humans and Autobons now work together to stop the Decepticons from overthrowing them. While a lot of the humans who know about them love them and treat them like any other human, the higher ups simply want to use them as test subjects. They rebuilt the old aquarium as the new base not only because it allowed them to interact better, but because they are able to watch their every move through the cameras and glass. They haven’t dissected any of them purely on survival instinct as they know they can’t beat the Decepticons by themselves.

The Autobons do know about this. Both of the liaisons over their division, William Fowler and William Lennox (both of them part of the Navy), have told them before, though Fowler wasn’t as keen to revel information at first. They end up making a treaty that they would share certain information with the humans as long as there was no experimentation of any kind on them.

(They all suspect that when the war ends, this treaty will immediately be broken.)

When the children entered their lives, another part of the treaty was added. The mers has gotten very attached to their small companions, and became angered at the thought of them having to leave. As long as the children kept their mouths shut and worked at the base, they would be able to stay. Jimmy fixes up mechanics that help heat the tanks and keep the lights on. Verity and Hunter are both in charge of cleaning the tanks (though they’re usually clean already, the Bons aren’t savages). Jack, Sari, and Miko help learn about Cymatronian culture while they also teach them about human culture, along with Raf when he’s not helping scrub the internet of “mermen sightings”. The Witwicky brothers are being trained as Marines to help as liaisons, though Spike will sometimes help Jimmy with fixing the old building’s machines.

Every human on base has a guardian (at least the kids and the Will’s do). Lennox has Ironhide, Epps has Jazz, Jack has Arcee, Miko has Bulkhead, Raf has Ratchet, Sari has Optimus, Verity has Magnus, Spike has Bumblebee, Buster has Prowl, Sam has Smokescreen, Hunter has the Terror Twins (mainly Sunstreaker), and Jimmy has Wheeljack. Fowler technically has been assigned Optimus, but he claims he doesn’t need a guardian and Optimus already has his hands full with Sari.

I hope you enjoyed this! If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I love answering questions. Also, Cybertron(ian) was changed to Cymatron(ian) for the same reason Bots was changed to Bons. It’s another Latin word, cymatilis, meaning wave.
