[cj-is-causing-chaos-again]

Hehehe yeah I know I disappeared for a long time, take a quick doodle of my narrator as an apology

Ignore any weirdness, I'm trying out a new art style!

And umm @blackkatdraws2

Looks like you dropped something! Maybe hurry on collecting him as my Narrator has not seen him yet and if that tail moves, the Blackling is going flying!

[corelex]

AWWWWW, IT LOOKS SO CUTE

IT'S THE INKY DINKY!!!!

(jk it's called a Blackling, I'll explain it below) 👇

A Blackling is a shard of Black (my Narrator) that's been cut off (either by accident or on purpose.)

That piece of golden shard then starts to reform and become a smaller version of Black. It has a cute look instead of being a direct copy of Black.

————★

The Blackling existed because of a trend that happened in a discord server I was in where I drew my Narrator as a small and pathetic little thing.

@beartitled made a comic about these fellas which you can read by clicking here!

————★

This resulted in me eventually making the Blackling part of my canon universe! I think he's very very cute.

【A little bit of info for the Blacklings】

It can't speak, nor can it make any vocal sounds! (Unless you count the little tinkling sound whenever it walks)

It's main purpose is to find the main body (Black) and reform with him

Its size can vary depending on how big the shattered shard is, but these ones are usually only palm sized. Anything smaller do not reform and stay as shards, usually eaten and absorbed by the Blacklings.

It can feel emotions, but it's very instinctive without rational thought behind it. There is absolutely no thinking going on behind those big ol' eyes, the only thing it wants to do is "come back to Black and become whole again."

[the-orion-collectives-mistake]

i hate it when people are like "uhmm actually being a system sucks ass and if you like or enjoy it in anyway possible youre a terrible person, cus its not 'friends in your head' and also i believe taht because you formed from trauma you should never ever think of your system in a positive light" because like, its so infuriating to see that, because i fucking love my system because they are my family and friends and i will never not love my system, i dont care if we formed because of trauma, because i will never see my system in anything other than a positive light, i dont give a shit if you hate ur system or refuse to be friends with them bc of ur origin, but stay the fuck outta the main tags for did and shit or tag with a tag that i can fuckibg blacklist so i dont have to see ur negative bullshit, i ahte it when i see taht shit, its so fucking annoying

[gia-batmm-crickle22]

Haha, poor Knuckles 😂

[artsy-hobbitses]

I've seen the headcanons with Megatron (ıt's delightful but i get a little sad at the headcanons involving Op and his blackling disease). I wonder if you have headcanons for Optimus or Strongarm Sideswipe ? 👉👈

By popular demand, please enjoy this compendium of Daddimus headcanons!

Optimue Prime/Omar Parvez used to smoke while he worked in the Dead End (mainly due to the stress), but gave up the habit when he was demoted to a dockworker.

He's the long-suffering mediator between the souls of the twelve Primes currently locked in the Matrix which he now bears. It's not unusual to hear him seemingly talking to or negotiating with himself, and Prima and Megatronus' catfights comprise the majority of his headaches.

Omar doesn't like being called Prime, but accepts it reluctantly as a rank. Those close to him only refer to him as Omar, or Optimus on a more formal basis. 'Prime' is who he is to the wider world, and was a rank unwittingly accorded to him by Alpha Trion/Aillard Toussaint. This happened when Aillard, upon facing an increasingly megalomaniacal Sentinel/Sedgewick who was trying to fashion himself as the next Prime and had arrested him under sedition charges for associating with Omar and owning banned literature, told Sedgewick that Omar was "more of a Prime than you'll ever be." That was captured on recording, and went viral very quickly, and Omar was being associated with the rank 'Prime' at a time when he was still using 'Orion Pax' as a codename. Optimus ('the best' ie. 'the best of us'), was co-opted by his supporters to counter Sedgewick's attempt to fashion himself as 'Sentinel Prime', defender of order. It's not until Omar comes back from the dead with a strange bauble embedded in his chest that he starts going by Optimus -sigh fine- Prime, to distance himself from his a nickname given to him by a now-enemy.

He has a love for rearing pigeons passed down from his father, who built a makeshift dovecote on the roof of their apartment. The pigeons on Aillard's estate know his face and answer to his call when he goes out to feed them daily. He has each one named and tagged, and even without food, they still flock to him.

He is the imam of the Muslim Autobot prayer congregation which comprises Hotspot/Hassan, Trailbreaker/Tariq, Steeljaw/Salim, First Aid/Fatima, Ramhorn/Raminah, and later on Streetwise/Shamar.

As such with the info above, is usually the first person awake on the base on any given day.

Excellent in the kitchen. Loves making Tapsi (a Kurdish aubergine casserole) for himself as a post-battle treat, but also makes a beef stroganoff bonkers enough that old college buddy Elita-One/Alisa Ivanova, upon finally being able to land on earth after dealing with Liege Maximo's bullshit, immediately hauls Omar into the nearest kitchen so he can make that specific dish for her.

You'll notice that Ratchet/Ronan has a patch of dark skin on one side of his face (Inspired from Osamu Tezuka's Dr Blackjack). As part of his torture when he was captured and held by Bludgeon, half his face was flayed. After Omar rescued Ronan, he donated skin to him for a temporary allograft. However, even at a point where Ratchet was well enough to receive an autograft from his own body, he refused since his body had not rejected Omar's allograft, and he wanted to keep it as it was as a symbol of the deep friendship the two of them share and the sacrifice Omar made for him.

Omar keeps a sketch that Bumblebee/Benjamin drew of him on his desk.

He makes time for Ben whenever Ben is laid up in medical bay, whether it's reading to him, watching his favorite shows he missed during field missions together, or just humming to him until he sleeps.

He's a pianist who plays by ear mostly, and time spent with Ben includes playing during Ben's ballet practice. You can tell what his stress levels are by the tempo of the pieces he's playing---if he sounds like he's setting the keys on fire, he has grievances he clearly needs to work out.

Omar has in his possession the once-beloved water-damaged notebook in which Megatron/Morgan first wrote notes for Towards Peace in---he had wanted to return it to Morgan when he found it outside his precinct station, but was too late as Morgan had already been shipped to Messatine when he came to the mines. For a decade, he kept it with him, and when Morgan came back, he tried to return it. However, Morgan, while grateful for the gesture, refused to take it back and told him to toss it or burn it, as it was "penned by a witless, childish fool", which he wasn't anymore. Omar refused to do so, and it remains in the drawer of his study desk---when he's feeling quietly hopeless, he'll open it up and see the pages where he and Morgan in their youths had drafted ideas together for a better system, and he's back to the drawing board. He refuses to give up on the hope for a better world, or that the Morgan he knew is completely gone.

His mother was a journalist who had experience running an underground publication network in Iran, and it was from her experience that Omar collated and distributed the notes from Messatine written by Morgan, which made up the full copy of Towards Peace. In essence, for better or worse, Omar is the reason Morgan's words spread as swiftly as they did on earth.

He also has a Youtube channel specifically dedicated to a little book club Blaster/Brandon had encouraged him to open up, after Brandon one day invited him to speak on an Autobot radio show and the number of listened spiked significantly. On this channel, he usually reads from a book of the month and discusses its themes/characters, as well as fields questions about his favorite written works in general. He has also at times, chosen books that Morgan enjoyed in their younger days. Whether he knows that Morgan sometimes listens in on him is something he'll brush off, but on the off chance that Morgan does tune in… he still thinks about you, old friend.

Turkish tea fiend.

Green thumb from setting up an urban garden in the Dead End, regularly tends to the communal garden at the Autobot base alongside Sludge/Slavomir and Hound/Hale.

In his early days as Optimus Prime, suffered from internal burns, severe chest pains (he said it felt like the sun burning up in his chest) and shortness of breath after major use of the Matrix's powers in battle. Note that back then, using the Matrix's powers wasn't aways a choice he consciously made, as it treated him like a host and would react to/be triggered by serious threats. The only reason the Matrix stayed in him then, was because neither Ratchet nor Wheeljack could figure out how to safely remove it, and there was fear that despite the way it was affecting him, it was what was keeping him alive and was too ingrained with his neural network to be parted from him.

Per the above, he was actually in chronic pain which he was medicated for and hid very well, up to the point where he finally made contact with the volatile, conglomerated mess of Prime souls in the Matrix during a coma and managed to calm them down/'untangle' them.

There is a little cairn at the roots of largest tree in Alpha Trion's estate where Omar's pigeons most often roost, which he set up for his father, Mirzan, who was killed by his former mentor Sedgewick on charges of disseminating seditious literature. He's never been able to retrieve his father's body and consequently, give the man a proper burial, and he feels guilty about it to this day.

✨Good day and happy STS!✨

so I read through an ask about your colors story (such a cool concept btw 👏) and I was curious about the White mage: Elan!

if it’s not too much trouble, could you tell me more about them? Anything, really, take this as a chance to ramble!

have a lovely day ✨

Happy STS :)!!! Ah, thank you!!!! I like,,,,, colours,,,,

Oh jesus christ Elan Soot. Yes I can tell you about Elan Soot. They are one of the biggest freaks I have ever created. Buckle in.

They're the only survivor of a very very very painful and delicate procedure, and although the procedure technically failed (they were meant to come out able to control all colours), they're still hailed as a success of some kind. Scientific miracle, if you will.

A very very very lonely and tormented scientific miracle.

See, as a white mage, they're. Very keyed into the other pigments and colours around them, all the time. It's not something they can easily ignore.

To manage this, when they're allowed to, they bleach colours out with their, uh. Very corrupted magic.

See, when a normal mage pulls colour from an object, it leaves the object white, sure, but simply... stripped of pigments white. When Elan does it, the pigments remain, but warped, changed, and hijacked. I can't say if it's stable or not. These changed pigments resist re-dying, so once they've got changed an item... it won't change back.

However, notably, they're not always allowed to do this. Quite often, they're denied this by the person who made them this way - Bernadette Blackling.

This control and command is all psychological - she's not a mage, she can't do anything to really stop them... but she has twisted their perspective of themselves and the world and those they loved to benefit her entirely. They're a trembling, furious mess, and she has them wrapped around her finger, ready to move at her command.

(This is not a problem for her in the plot at all, not even once).

Elan is a gardener! To relax, they like to be around plants, to nourish and grow them. These days, that means existing in a petrified, albino garden, maintained and adjusted entirely by them.

When they get upset, they have a habit of destroying this garden and sobbing in the remains. That image always hurts my heart a little.

Anyway! Thank you for the ask and hope you have a wonderful day too :) Here is a picture of them, for the road.

Last Monday of the Week 2024-11-25

Getting Colder

Listening: I have been listening to a lot of Perennial for some reason.

Extremely yelling music. I like it when a musician sounds like they're on the verge of breaking out in tears which happens sometimes with Perennial.

Reading: Catching up on my enormous RSS backlog, which includes a very interesting aggregated feed run by Blackle Mori, Sortition. This is a website where, if you produce an RSS feed somewhere, you can add it, and at random your recent posts will be put into One Big Feed that anyone can subscribe to. It's a nice way to get a broad mix of people Doing Real Blogging On The Web into your feedreader.

I know a lot of the people in here from other places, fediverse, tumblr, twitter, IRC, even a few Weaguers, and it's a nice vertical slice of a particular corner of the blogosphere. Lots of furries.

Watching: Watched What We Do In The Shadows for the first time. Pointing at the screen going "I know that gif!"

It's a great comedy and it strikes me that comedy movies do seem to have quietly died, maybe because they now put a little comedy in all the mainstream movies? Unclear.

Playing: World of Goo 2 which I continue to do a little at a time. It's a really cute game. It feels floppier than I remember, but that might just be because it launches in at a much higher base difficulty than the original game, I think? It certainly feels that way, the efficient solutions feel much more marginal here, and they're challenging you with much taller, much more awkward structures much earlier in the game.

Also some Forza 5 which is because the Track Day event is on and I wanted some of the porsches. This week's Trial is ruinous, because it's a bunch of really technical twisty circuits with the "Super GT" class of vehicles, which are all big long high speed rear-wheel drive coupes, and if you try to mod your way out of this you tend to drop your top speed too much without gaining enough handling to make up for it. It doesn't help that with less-skilled team drivers they're very likely to cause terrible pileups in corners.

Making: Spent a while printing and pricing out upgrades for my printer and came to the conclusion that a much better refurb printer would cost less, and also that because of the absurd deal I got on my printer literally just the motors are worth more than upgrading it.

I am gradually getting Pissed Off at my big PC speakers which are really annoying and boomy and too loud and I fell down the rabbit hole of the Speaker Builder types and it's unfortunately exactly my shit. I love obsessing over frequency dynamics. There are some really weird little speaker drivers out there in the world and 3D printing allows you to fabricate incredibly complicated enclosures for them, so I am doing the legwork of figuring out how to model some of these.

Tools and Equipment: OpenSUSE AutoYasT is a system for automatically setting up and even changing the configuration of existing OpenSUSE and SLE systems. I'm doing a bunch of orchestration stuff at work and I needed a way to quickly set up a bunch of servers without doing it manually, and this is a handy way to approach it. You can even execute ERB templating rules within the rules file to do specific-to-device config.

You can deliver the instructions in a lot of ways, but I just patched them into the install CD with mksusecd. I'll talk about Distrobox next week.

"...."

"Can you not speak, little one?" Aren asked with a furrowed brow. "...oh"

Lips turned downwards in a look that spoke of sadness and concern for the little blackling. Poor thing...

[Maybe that's how he got here? Chasing after Black..] the blackling wilted in Arens hands, and the two men frowned.

"Hey...hey its okay sweetie...we'll find Black for you, don't worry..." she assured with a sweet smile, even as Morgan hummed softly.

"It'll take a while to find him...but it can be done"

[Then we should go then!]

They nodded, before Aren paused and smiled

"Let me get something real quick-"

(Later-)

"Sorry to intrude, but we found something of yours-"

"In my parable, how I'm unsure... but he ended up there"

*squeak!!*

The squeak brought all of their attention to the little blackling, who bounced happily in Arens hands with a small plastic contraption that made the squeaking noise.

"Oh..yeah, heh.. I realized the little one didn't have a voice so.."

*squeak squeak squeak!!*

[Aren got him a squeaker]

"I got a couple of them for you.. just in case- I mean you don't have to use them but...maybe then the little ones can alert you where they are?"

Aren gently passed the blackling to Black with a sheepish grin,

( @blackkatdraws here's a dumb comic I've been wanting to post for the past 3 days-)
