『 rodimus ,, ultra magnus ,, chromedome ,, rewind ,, megatron ,, whirl ,, tailgate ,, swerve ,, cyclonus ,, first aid ,, ratchet ,, drift ,, gender neutral reader 』
-> christmas on the lost light
— fluff ,, sfw ,, crack
— sorry i havent been uploading as much 😭💔 ive been busy with work and school ,, but im on christmas break so hopefully ill be able to get through the few requests i have sitting in my inbox rn and reopen requests :(( ima try to start uploading more now as much as i can ❤️ heres a little something for christmas though ! hope you all enjoy christmas this year <3
• it was natural for the bots aboard to be interested in human customs ,, having lived in a war most their life . death and violence were something they were quite used to experiencing ,, never really having the time to experience anything outside of the horrors of war itself .
• swerve was one of the few main bots that pestered you often about human holidays . cybertronians didn't celebrate much ,, unless they were a group of autobots who just gave some decepticons a what-for .
• then again ,, swerve usually asked many questions regarding things on earth and what humans do . sometimes you humored him ,, sometimes you told little lies ,, like if you clapped three times in a mall it would be a sign that a tiger was loose . it was quite fun to put silly nonsense in that processor of his at times .
• though when it came to christmas he would not leave you alone . whether you celebrated it or not ,, you still explained the custom in general to him . how old saint nicholas would mosey on down the chimney ,, eat the cookies and drink the milk left out for him ,, and leave presents under the tree lit well and adorned with ornaments .
• you even pulled up the santa tracker for swerve ,, showing him where santa would go and be ,, how on christmas eve he would be flying around with his reindeer and leave presents
• hearing all of this intrigued chromedome and rewind ,, as well as tailgate and whirl . cyclonus didn't understand the hype and belief of having an old random man leave gifts in your house and eat your food even if left out specifically him . tailgate was thrilled though ,, a funny little old man leaving him gifts seemed so heavenly to him . chromedome and rewind ,, however ,, had different opinions . rewind was interested in this human holiday ,, whilst chromedome shared the same opinion as cyclonus . how were you sure this 'santa' guy wasnt gonna rob you ? and when you were sleeping nonetheless .
• rodimus already knew of this tradition ,, as did ratchet and ultra magnus . rodimus was quite ecstatic at the idea of having a christmas party ,, watching christmas movies and sipping on energon . maybe he could even have you sit on his lap ,, all cozy in those soft blankets and sippin on your own mug of hot chocolate .
• ratchet couldnt care less ,, grumbling something about how 'you humans and your holidays and customs' . though he definitely didnt deny the offer of going to this christmas party ,, it was nice to spend some time that didn't involve life threatening situations for once .
• ultra magnus ,, on the other hand ,, was quite picky about how the christmas party should be set up . he even tried to ban home alone ,, saying he didnt want rodimus to get any ideas from the traps in the movie . the last thing he needed was to end up in one the next day . though ,, the many outweigh the few ,, and so home alone was allowed in the movie marathon .
• now when you told him about the grinch ,, he wasnt sure if you were mocking him by saying it was an actual movie or if he should be concerned for what this dr.seuss guy was drawing . i mean ,, have you seen how hairy the grinch is ? or how the whos in whoville are shaped ? pointy noses and all ,, it was quite new to magnus .
• megatron ,, who overheard everything ,, already knew he wasnt going to be wanted at the party . it made sense ,, his past and everything he's done to earth and its people . though when you asked him to come ,, that you personally wanted him there ,, he swore he felt his spark stop for a second . he only gave a nod ,, whilst ravage bickered to him that night in his habsuite .
• whirl ,, to say the least ,, was prepared to fight santa . he was watching the santa tracker ,, waiting for the jolly fellow to pop up so whirl could fly down and bring out the big guns ( that brainstorm recently made ,, not yet tested out or put through a test trial so lord knows what may go wrong) . magnus almost had to throw him in the brig if he couldnt contain his sudden rage and fury for the old man .
• first aid was somewhat interested ,, never having celebrated a holiday before . it would be nice ,, getting together and doing nothing but watching movies all day . he hadnt seen movies from earth that much either ,, besides a few fast n furious ones here and there . needless to say ,, he was somewhat concerned for humans need to trash cars . he cringed a little on the inside ,, watching those perfectly good cars blow up . it was like a horror movie but for cybertronians .
• during the movie marathon ,, whirl tried to sneak violent night and black christmas in ,, saying they were also christmas movies and that they should watch them . magnus ended up throwing them out ,, saying no one really felt like seeing dying people during this one time of peace .
• drift enjoyed the nightmare before christmas ,, the claymation alone was enough to captivate him . then the designs of the characters ,, the music and songs ,, even jack's childlike wonder for christmas matched his own (in a few ways) . during that movie you sat with him ,, sharing a few facts about the movie itself . how long it took to make and how hard it is to do claymation movies .
• during the polar express you stayed with rewind and chromedome ,, snuggling in between the two and sippin on your hot chocolate . rewind enjoyed watching the train on the ice whilst chromedome puffed about how he coulda easily done that himself and saved everyone . you only rolled your eyes ,, muttering out a sure as you fought back a smile .
• during a break in between the movies you noticed megatron ,, standing awkwardly in the corner with his own cube of fools energon in servo . you smiled at the bot ,, walking up to him and having a small conversation with him . you didnt honestly think he’d show up ,, but youre glad he did . he let you sit with him during one of the movies ,, bonding well with the giant bot .
• he was quite warm ,, heat coming from off his body as you huddled close to him . he tucked his servo around you ,, worried you may fall off . for a few moments during the movie you swore you saw him smile at some of the corniest parts ,, or chuckle softly at some of the dumbest jokes .
• you took turns ,, switching between bots during different movies . you would sit in their laps ,, explain little things you liked about the movie playing and share a few things of your own childhood during this time of the year .
• it was nice ,, to say the least . having time to the bots ,, doing things that reminded you of home . it wasnt the same ,, but it was the thought that counted . spending time with them peacefully was more than enough for you ,, and definitely more than you could ask for this christmas .

Honestly it's so fucking disgusting that the MCU and it's imitators have trained audiences to expect sequels, spinoffs, reboots, and a big crossover cinematic universe.
Like goddamn not EVERY FUCKING THING NEEDS A CINEMATIC UNIVERSE.
Like yeah I know I say "SCU" (Shrek cinematic universe) but that's a joke. I don't think we need a movie focusing on every little aspect of the Shrek world.
Or like...ok but I might be a little biased bc I fucking hate the live action Disney remakes (not for any political reason like I'm not an anti-woke weirdo but bc they're all bad shitty takes on classic Disney films with bad CGI that looks lifeless) but like...mf we don't need them to crossover, that's a shit idea and making a live action kingdom hearts movie to cross them all over is a doubly shit idea, speaking from a kingdom hearts fan.
Also like making a smash bros movie with Pikachu, Sonic, and Mario is a terrible idea bc all 3 films have drastically different tones and artstyles, and also if you want them to shit out more video game movie adaptations just to get a smash bros movie, fuck you, yes I want movie adaptations of Pikmin, Kirby, Zelda, Star Fox and Metroid but I DONT want them all done by illumination in order to make a smash bros movie. Smash Bros dosent work with a story, and also illumination can't handle making a movie with a darker storyline, I would rather them done by different studios. Also the detective Pikachu and Sonic movie, as well as the potential Metal Gear, MegaMan, Pac-Man and Minecraft movies would have vastly different artstyles and tones.
Not everything needs to be a cinematic universe. Thats what ruined modern star wars and DC movies.
Like did y'all watch illumination's the Grinch and go "I boy I hope they have a Dr.seuss cinematic universe with the lorax and Horton hears a who!" Like wtf marvel fucking spoiled y'all.

@royalbabble, Welp... They look terrified, and Cmedic looks like a Whovien from those Dr.Seuss movie adaptations. Also Cmedic and Carmen already seem to hate each other.

HUMANIZED GUY-AM-I!
Okie, so I have a lot to say about this guy. Literally, that's his name. This grumpy floof is my favorite character in this INCREDIBLE Dr.Seuss adaptation. Seriously, go watch it right now on Netflix because it has the greatest animation and cast I have EVER seen in a show for kids. Like, this is MOVIE quality shit. I remember discovering this show a couple years ago and it STILL blows me away with the sheer effort that was put into each and every frame. The cast is absolutely amazing and it's honestly too good for Netflix. Michael Douglas is Guy's voice actor, and he absolutely knocks it out of the park.
Also he'd TOTALLY be gay if it wasn't for
Michellee..
Feel free to comment your opinions and suggestions for what to draw down below! I will accept anything as long as it's appropriate. Love y'all!

My Top Five Animated Movie Voice Overs
Growing up in the early 2000’s, there were so many celebrated voice actors and actresses that were in exemplary animated films. I feel as though I based my childhood on Animated movies that were produced by Disney and pixar. As a child, I was captivated by the pastel colors, the plots about friendship that these animated films portrayed. Animated movies had an extremely positive impact on my childhood and there are voice actors that are still engraved in my head to this day.
The first actor that comes to my mind is Tom Hanks. As a child, I was delighted by the voice of him as Woody from Toy Story and as the conductor from Polar Express. Each Christmas, I remember watching these movies and will always be able to recognize Tom Hanks' voice. The second actor that comes to mind is Jim Carrey. I always watched the Dr.Seuss movies which consisted of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I feel a sort of nostalgia when I watch these movies and hear the voice of Jim Carrey. It feels like I am able to tap into my inner child. The third actor that comes to mind is Tara Strong. She plays characters from Timmy Turner, Powerpuff Girls and Teen Titan. Although these are not movies but T.V shows, I can recognize her voice extremely quickly because of how prevalent she was in the early 2000 animated films. For the last two animated voice actors, I always think of Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers. Growing up I loved watching Madagascar and Everybody Hates Chris. Most importantly I loved watching Shrek, I watched it continuously as a child and even to this day I love watching Shrek because of all of the innuendos in it. Being able to tap into my inner child while listening to all of these voice actors from my childhood brings me peace like no other.

Personally I love the Grinch.
It was my first Dr.Seuss book I’ve ever read. I remember watching the rerun of the old animated movie and loved it lots.
Also this year we get to celebrate Seuss’s green OC everyone wants to fuck :)
Favorite Christmas Story?
The Polar Express
I love the original story and the movie so much, and I have a lot of good memories with it. Definitely one of the best Christmas stories out there

The Cat in the Hat (2003)
In 1991, Theodor Seuss Geisel died of cancer. His ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean but if he had been buried you'd hear him rolling in his grave every time someone brings up 2003's The Cat in the Hat. It’s the stuff of nightmares; an ugly, unfunny, badly written film that rambles as it suffocates your soul.
Conrad and Sally Walden (Spencer Breslin and Dakota Fanning) are sitting bored at home when a talking cat in a hat (Mike Myers) comes in and tells them that it’s time to play! With the help of his assistants Thing 1 and Thing 2, the fun turns out to be a bit too much for the children to handle.
Who was clamoring for The Cat in the Hat to be turned into a full-length film? At 82 minutes, you’re padding out the story so much it isn’t even the original work anymore. The cracks are filled by the lame gags courtesy of writers Alec Berg, David Mandell, and Jeff Schaffer and director Bo Welch getting on his knees and praying that Mike Myers' comedic stylings will keep the audience engaged long enough for them to reach the end credits.
Watching Myers' performance is like swallowing a sheet of sandpaper. Just thinking about it makes you wince. Not only does he look incredibly creepy - more like a man sticking his face in a painted wooden panel of a cat with a hole in its face than an actual believable creation like Jim Carrey’s Grinch - he's hardly ever funny. Three laughs. That's what you get. They're nearly ruined - but not quite - by the way he makes those phony, self-deprecating laughs of his. As though he knows we're sitting through gags that were rejected both out of his Austin Powers and Love Guru films.
My mind is swarming with half-thoughts. I’m just going to list some of the other things I disliked in no particular order. Alec Baldwin’s character, an unnecessary villain you can't even cheer for despite his hatred of Conrad. The boy and his sister. Could you find more worn-out characters than them? They're as phony as Mike Myers’ tail. Even the minor characters fill you with disdain, like Mrs. Walden's boss, played by Sean Hayes. He's another made-up character far removed from reality.
What were they thinking? Who thought the racist Asian babysitter was a good idea? Why the Paris Hilton cameo? Why the pop-culture references and obvious product placement?
Everything feels fuzzy and watered down, like a haze has engulfed my mind and I’m lost trying to feel my way through my own thoughts. Here’s another criticism: the rhyming. They don’t even try. Literally, you think they're going to but then the Cat says “I can’t do this rhyming thing”. Drawing attention to your bad screenplay doesn't suddenly make it good.
There’s just no other way to put it; The Cat in the Hat is an abomination. It’s an abortion that somehow made it through the procedure. Someone should've pulled the plug and cut their losses. Its only value is as a way to give you an out-of-body experience. Your mind will be so desperate to escape you may suddenly realize your has shifted from the screen to yourself, sitting on the couch slowly decaying. Even if you’re a fan of Mike Myers, forget about it. I bet Myers wishes he could. (On DVD, February 20, 2015)

guyyyyyyyyyyyyys, so i don’t mention this often so here’s some lore about myself: i work at a daycare/preschool.
and today it was dr.seuss day, so like we celebrated it in the afternoon by going to the gym to watch a movie. and wouldn’t you know it, we watched the lorax. and i tried my might not to smile like a madman.
Once’d day more
‘Once other day ‘once other destiny, this never ending road to thneedery, these who’s who seem to know my crime will surely come a second time
Once’d day more
I did not live until once’d day
Once’d day more
How can I live when thneed are parted?
Once’d day more
Tomorrow you’ll be worlds away, and yet with who my world has started
Once’d more day all on my own
Will we ever meet again?
Once’d more day of them not caring (about the environment)
I was born to be with who
But he only saw thneed there
But the lorax comes at night, but the lorax comes at night, with his voice as soft as thunder, as he tears your business apart, as he turns your dream to shame

Day 3: Halloween is Grinch Night
Hello and welcome to our third night of The Shinning!
Welcome fellows tumblrs who shake with a rumble on this season of ghostly wombangers and devilish something or others. Listen I can’t rhyme this whole thing like Dr. Seuss, guy was genius.
Today is our third entry, Halloween is Grinch Night. It is the 1977 follow up of the beloved Christmas classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas. And also serves as a prequel to it.
The story is simple, the wind blows a certain way in Whoville, and some of the animals go crazy, which drives the Grinch up the walls so he decides to go down and terrorize the Whos of Whoville. We follow a precocious little Who (but nowhere as adorable as Cindy Lou Who) by the name of Euchariah. Euchariah goes out to investigate what the fuss about the Grinch is about, and stop him.
Grinch Night is a prequel to the Christmas special with the Christmas special coming out in 1966, and Grinch Night coming out in 1977. That’s an 11 year difference. Animation seemed to be in a kind of dark age at the time. There were animated shows, but most cartoons seemed to have come out in the early 70′s or even late 60′s; but it wasn’t the constant staple like that of 80′s pulp culture, so it’s a little difficult to compare this special to anything else of the time for me. If anyone knows some, feel free to put your two cents in.
Given that, I didn’t find the animation to be that bad. It’s fluid for the most part and doesn’t seem as stilted as Hanna-Barbera. This special definitely lends itself to Dr. Seuss’ art style, but not like the Christmas special. Not that Grinch Night isn’t full of Seuss’ style, the background of the Christmas special is predominately snow covered so we have a virtually white landscape with a blueish night sky, save for certain key scenes like the end of the special.
Now let’s look at some stuff from Grinch Night
there’s a difference in the use of colors in this film, which makes sense since the Christmas is set in the middle of winter. Interesting enough, Grinch Night has more going on than most Dr. Seuss stories since the good doctor likes to use a lot of negative space in his works which didn’t become apparent to me till I started doing some research, and by research I mean I stole some books from children in true Grinch fashion. I also used Google.
Here’s some examples of Seuss’s use of negative space.
The backgrounds in this special really stood out to me in this and I really dug the change. It made Whoville a living place to me.
A lot of what goes on in Grinch Night kinda holds some weight cause you know what’s coming to the Grinch eventually, but seeing him be a total fucking cunt makes you hate him and realize what a miracle his turn into a good being is in the Christmas special. At one point the Grinch runs over a patch of flowers, he waits to see if all them have died or wilted. One remains, weak and possibly sentient, and this fucker backs his carriage over it.
Also apparently, Max the dog is a slave. Not being edgy, Max has a song singing about how he was kidnapped as a pup and says the line “Why am I the slave of this grinchy old crock?”. What the hell is wrong with Dr. Seuss?
The Grinch is such a terror that Whoville government has a a taskforce dedicated to monitoring him and reporting his activities to the public.
Also for reasons unexplained, the Grinch has detachable eyebrows that he uses to attack people and also has size-shifting powers.
So let’s get back to the story a bit, our main Who, Euchariah ventures out use the “euphemism” which is the outhouse apparently? He does so under the strong hurricane style winds. When you gotta go, you gotta go. He gets lost and encounters the Grinch. The Grinch scares the kid and ventures down toward Whoville, intending to terrorize the Whos. Euchariah takes it upon himself to stall the Grinch till the winds that have cause all this stopped blowing. Euchariah cuts the Grinch off and says the most masochist thing I’ve ever heard a child say “Will you please scare me some more, sir? I sort like it. ;)”, The Grinch takes the kid up on his offer and unleashes his version of “Pink Elephants on Parade” from Dumbo.
The animation kinda loses some power around this point, but it uses the abstract really well in this sequence. I do not recommend being on any hallucinogenics or psychedelics while watching this scene. That’s your pro tip of the day.
The kid makes it out okay, and notices that the winds have died down, the animals have calmed, which means the Grinch has no reason to be annoyed and take it out on the town. The Grinch begrudgingly accepts this logic and returns back to his cave. Euchariah offers Max the chance to live with him, and Max doesn’t even hesitate, cause MAX IS A PRECIOUS BOY AND DID NOT DESERVE THIS SHIT!
But we can assume the Grinch did something horrible to get Max back cause he’s there in the Christmas Special.
Overall, the animation works. The use of darker colors is done well, but it’s missing the joy of the original. The original was animated by legendary Chuck Jones (Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry) and has a certain life to it. This one moves fluidly, but doesn’t have the glee that the original one has. That’s not saying it’s badly animated, but there’s a difference between the two.
Also the beginning song isn’t really that great, and the narrator/The Grinch (Hans Conried) can’t live up to Boris Karloff’s amazing performance so it’s a bummer in that aspect. The beginning rhyme is repeated again towards the end, this time delivered by Euchariah, and it flows a lot better out of him.
It’s worth a watch, but don’t show this to little kids, cause the Grinch is a fucking asshole.
Tomorrow we take a trip to Halloweentown

I remember an hour before my fifth-grade graduation, my teacher pulled me aside and asked me why I looked so sad. I explained I was afraid of leaving elementary school — middle school seemed so scary, and I didn’t want to leave behind the teachers I’d grown so accustomed to over the past five years. My teacher chuckled and gave me a hug, but not before muttering fourteen words that would confuse me for the next decade of my life.
“A wise person once said, ‘Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.’”
I was confused but smiled anyways.
Suddenly, I noticed the nine-word phrase everywhere I went. On greeting cards, during graduation speeches, even on Instagram posts. It took me years before I realized it was a Dr.Seuss quote.
Now that I’m 22 years old, I look back at the moment I shared with my fifth-grade teacher and think, “Why would she share a racist man’s antagonizing quote to comfort a ten-year-old?” Then I remember, to some the quote isn’t antagonizing and to others, well, they refuse to believe that Dr.Seuss was a racist.
Still, I didn’t understand why I hated the quote so much. Not until my heart was broken a few months ago. Well, perhaps broken isn’t the right word. It was shattered.
As the days following my breakup passed by, my friends attempted to console me. They brought me goodies, they checked-in, they even sat through a movie about heartbreak for me. They were the best friends a girl could ask for, but even they couldn’t find a way to piece back together my heart.
My family was just as lost as my friends were when I moved back home. Weeks began to pass by, and they couldn’t understand what was wrong with me. How could it be that the same girl who was pranking her family daily just weeks ago had turned into such a shell of herself?
One day, after everyone had seemingly given up, a friend called to check in. Our conversation went a little like this:
“How are you?”
“The same.”
“I’m sorry, I hate him for doing this to you.”
“It’s okay.”
“Listen, I know this is going to sound cliche, but haven’t you ever heard of Dr.Seuss’s quote?”
“Please don’t.” I knew what was coming.
“No seriously, I mean, we’re graduating this year and a lot of things are ending. But maybe we don’t have to be sad its ending. Maybe we can just be happy it happened and maybe the same goes for you and him.”
“Yeah, you’re right.” He wasn’t. He was wrong.
For months, everyone had told me to get over it. To just move on, as if it was that simple. I was expected to go to bed with the memories of us engraved in my mind and wake up with a clean canvas. Something like that can’t be forced and while it may be frustrating for you to deal with, I promise it is much harder on your heartbroken friend.
That’s the issue with Dr.Seuss’s quote. How was I not supposed to cry now that it was over? How was I supposed to smile when everything in the world reminded me of him? Of how he broke my heart.
Every cup of matcha I had took me back to the first time I met him where we fought at the register over who would pay. Every movie I watched made me wonder what he would think of it if he was sitting right next to me. Every shirt I picked out was a reminder of the day I wore it for one of our date nights. Every cookie I bit into reminded me of the times we would throw cookie dough at one another and laugh when the cookies came out terrible. Every time my phone buzzed, my heart fluttered in hopes he had changed his mind and realized he also couldn’t live without me.
The color blue was never the same for me. It served as too much of a reminder of him. He engulfed the color blue whether it was through his blue t-shirt that made his eyes stand out or the blue he possessed in his soul on the days a cloud would follow the both of us in our own little world. In some ways, he was my blue and then, one day, blue became my least favorite color.
He even haunted cities. It took me weeks to go back to LA. You see, the buildings reminded me of the late-night drives we’d take together. My apartment reminded me of the nights I’d cry into his arms wondering if I’d ever get over my anxieties. Even walks through campus made me feel like I was running out of air as every corner shared a story of a time where we’d laugh, where we’d fight, even where we’d cry together.
I thought my home, far away from campus, was my safe haven. Yet, he haunted my childhood bedroom with the nights we’d silently facetime, both of us comfortable in the stillness. Where he’d pick me up for a quick boba run when we both found ourselves back in our hometowns. Until now, I’ve never looked at Harmony Tea Bar the same.
The simplest things in my everyday life had only become a reminder of him and what we once had.
I avoided certain roads because they reminded me of him. I avoided certain people because if I didn’t, I’d find myself asking if he’s reached out to them. I would even find myself crying throughout random parts of my day because a song played on the radio, and I’d realize that I’d become the girl I swore I never would be.
It was as simple as he had ruined love for me yet as complex as, I still loved him.
Because of this, I would constantly ask myself: How could I not cry over the person I wanted my forever to be with, not wanting me? How could I smile at the same memories that were keeping me up at night?
Fast forward four months, on a random Thursday, at about one in the afternoon. I looked to the ground and found that the scattered pieces of my heart had slowly mended itself back together off the floor and back into my chest. That might seem sudden but that’s exactly what it was: sudden and anticlimactic. The roads I avoided were no longer a trigger for me, the thought of a night in LA excited me, and, more importantly, I could finally listen to an entire Olivia Rodrigo song without crying. I was no longer the broken girl he had left to cry in her apartment alone. I was finally glued back together.
Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I still cry that it’s over, and I rarely ever smile that it happened. All this to say, there is no guide on how to mend a broken heart. No rules, no logic, no specific amount of time, and definitely no teacher. It is just you. So, don’t stop yourself from crying when it’s over and don’t feel guilty for not smiling when you look back.
Just know, one day, however long in the future, you’ll pick up your big cup of matcha, admire how blue the sky looks that day, and remember why it was always your favorite color.
