#cry#my art#star wars#tbb#bad batch#tbb crosshair#crosshair#he prolly had his comm with him#but imagine him just.. sitting down on the platform awhile after the squad left#staring into the ocean#rethinking everything#after awhile he couldnt look at kaminos destruction#he just sat there#trying to hype himself to make the call#for the empire to pick him up#hes never hated himself more

something simple to try to get out of art block (it didn't work)
#alek art#ninjago#zane julien#2024#i am very unhappy with this and sooo in order to feel better i am going to talk about him#system zane is very real to me. i always give him six main alters (but i do believe there is more lol)#systems cannot just pick and choose who front depending on the day i am very aware (i am a system) its more on the nose symbolism#the fifth one crossed out is the ice emperor. in canon he exists in zane's mind as an “alter ego” of sorts which is crazy to me#character has canon dissociative episodes... amnesia... and several different “personalities” / identities? sounds familiar idk#i talked a lot about this hc on my long ass zane hc post thanks for the ask btw npderzane#its not an au its just how i see him so just imagine every zane i draw as system zane. ill only specify it in the tags if its system related#that one post thats like. 'being a did system sucks which one of us poured instant coffee in the bathtub!' thats the average zane experience#he wakes up and everyones like “mannn zane you were going crazyyy on prime empire yesterday” and hes like ??? i did not play any video games#and then he looks at the calender and 6 months have passed. semi true story that happened to me#also alters having incredibly different food preferences is funny. zane doesnt eat anything ever vs boone who eats raw meat sometimes#zane having really weird characterization? and its very inconsistent / bad writing uhhh alek explanation is hes a system and nobody can mask#man its 1 pm :|#i hate this drawing so much i dont even want to look at it but it took time so ill post it#i also have another zane drawing in my drafts i should post. from like 2 months ago???

Can't stop thinking about Toramaru using gen Z internet slang. I just know she's cronically online and the way she talks makes Mafuyu go crazy.
#she runs a sakamoto fan account on twitter. nobody understands where this assassin character is from#'hes an assassin in real life' 'theres a game called real life? or is it a tv serie?'#and she picks up all the slang#she started saying 'very demure' when looking at her fanarts of sakamoto killing people 😔#also i'm sure she at least once said 'your brother is so fruity' to mafuyu and the urge to kill her overcame him#they're besties your honor. that doesn't mean mafuyu doesn't feel bloodlust towards her at least once a day#they're my babies#she regularly uses the phrase 'its my roman empire' but i don't think she really knows what the romane empire was#i love her#nao toramaru#sakamoto days#i'm sorry these are my hyperspecific niche headcanons 😔 (projecting the slang i eventually picked up from the internet over a character)

dark yoon ha lee give me the forbidden hajoret family backstory
#THINKING ABOUT HIM AGAIN#the thing is before he was admitted to Nirai Academy Prime he was living in a Vidona orphanage#so this had to have happened BEFORE the heptarchate annexed Erchanno#and frankly i don’t have textual support for this but i get the vibe that he was already on his own when Halash picked him up#which means he was LITTLE when they died!#what the hell does ‘responsible’ mean for a fucking. ELEVEN year old? YOUNGER?? what HAPPENED!?#nirai kujen#machineries of empire

sheriff jimmy solidarity is so funny to me . the idea of a sheriff being british makes me giggle n chuckle n laugh . if i told him the tumble townies were throwing a little hootenanny to celebrate his return from hermitcraft , he'd think we were gonna kill him
#buniiwords#i like to think tumble town is the the perfect balance between old timey western and a small town in the south#they say countryisms to him and he just ?????#but he does start picking them up over time#y'all but in a british accent#sorry i just woke up im just sayin whatever now#empires smp#jimmy solidarity

Sort of a ramble, sort of me just writing my thoughts out while I'm stuck with writer's block, but I keep thinking about how Fulcrum was in stasis for roughly 3 million years??
Like, that's a long time, even for Cybertronians. Not a really long time, not an entire lifespan. But still, it's a large chunk of a normal lifespan just gone. Poof.
One second you're crawling across the pockmarked terrain of an alien planet, surrounded by the sound of gunfire, and the shouting and screaming before and after each earth shuddering impact of another k-con hitting the ground. And then it's quiet. You're not there anymore. You're drifting somewhere between not alive and just asleep. Preserved somewhere in the background of a doomed body, ignored by time and space, still here, but also not.
And then there's sound. Not gunfire. Not shouting or screaming. Not the sounds that'll haunt you till your dying days, your own death sentence pounding in your head. No. Just voices, talking, standing out against a silent, dead world. Wondering. Joking. Bickering. Familiar. Just, not familiar to you. And you're awake. Pulled back from the nothingness you've been frozen in, consciousness tugged forwards with the yank of a fuel pump and the nearness of life.
These two moments are roughly 3 million years apart, but only minutes, maybe even seconds, to him. From a hectic harrowing battlefield, to an old silent graveyard in one blink.
How long did it take to really sink in? I mean, he seems to just roll with it. He doesn't seem particularly bothered. But like, what happened outside of what we see? How did he really feel?
Also, his body aged without him. While his mind preserved itself, freezing him as he was right then, his body was left to weather Clemency for all those years. No wonder it crumbled to dust when he jumped off the world sweeper. It's probably a miracle of some kind that it didn't just fall apart each time someone leaned on him.
And even after they rebuild him, give him a better, newer body. His spark, it's casing, all the irreplaceable core bits that make up their inner bodies, it aged in the time without him. Does he feel it? Does it make his body even more foreign to him?
Then he's also a technician with information that's 3 million years out of date. Lucky him that the scavengers probably weren't working with top of the line material. But still it's gotta be weird when faced with anything brand new, because a lot can change and progress in 3 million years, and now some of the knowledge he once prided himself in is obsolete.
Besides those things, his view of the galaxy, of the war, of their kind, of other kinds, is one of the few things actually pointed out when it comes to him being stuck in the past. So, how often were his old views challenged? Facts of life he held close proved to no longer true? There's 3 million years worth of new science, new beliefs, new words, new terms, new views.
And sure, some of it can be familiar, because they're an ever evolving kind, and they have patterns, core beliefs, repeating behaviors, but a lot of it's gonna be unfamiliar at the same time, because it's 3 million years worth of catch up, it's not like missing last week's trend.
In a way, it makes him a living relic of a bygone era for Decepticons. It would've been really interesting to have had that explored a little more.
#rq i wanna say i love seeing others thoughts on these if you have them. esp those that have thought about it longer than i lol#like. im still just starting to sink my teeth into the lore and put things together. so your thoughts are much appreciated#sometimes i wish that i could turn these rambles into those really well worded. slightly pretentious. but in a fun way. character metas?#but i dont think i can organize my thoughts that well. so. rambles it is lol#not to say rambling is lesser or smth tho. i love a good ramble. love to read them. i support ramblers#speaking of rambling-#idk why it fascinates me so. but theres just something rlly interesting about fulcrum being somewhat stuck in the past#i think it could've played interestingly into his and kroks dynamic had it been explored more?#like. the past and history play big parts in their lives. krok having studied it. and fulcrum having been fast forwarded thru it#it would've been interesting to see them talk more about it? since logically fulcrum wouldve gone to krok for more of the 3mill year rundow#and its like. krok is shown to be really knowledgeable on not only history. but cultures as well. theres and others.#so certain eras of their own culture would probably be a slight interest of his. esp decepticon ones.#and then theres fulcrum. who pretty much got plucked from the empire era only to land in kroks lap (metaphorically) ((...unless?))#so heres this walking talking piece of history. and a dude that has a sort of passion for history. why not explore it more?#and like. yeah. the ''history'' krok has studied is all mostly shit he lived through. but people study the times they lived through-#-because while they may have lived through it. theirs is only one perspective. a good historian takes into account multiple perspectives#idk where i'm going with this now. smth smth fulcrum relying on krok for future stuff and krok having someone to talk history stuff with#i just. augh. i wanna know what their dynamic is more. what we see in the comics is so back and forth at times#like. they seem to hit it off pretty well. but then fulcrum fucks it up ig by being oblivious and a little too ''i can fix him'' vibey#and his taste in comedy is bad. to say the least. which is apparently grounds for messy divorce#also krok is sometimes cool with selling a whole dude. at least when the dude is their befriended giant killer autobot buddy :/#that is also grounds for divorce. obviously#sorry. this is derailing the more i start thinking about how messy fulkrok could be. like. ough <3#they're a little ''i hate my wife'' coded. but in a greater scav codependent poly way. and it's more krok being annoyed with fulcrum#its like. fulcrum: ''i can fix him bcs i need to feel validated'' vs krok: ''wtf is wrong with this guy?! who does he think he is??''#i think they'd want to pick each other apart intellectually. maybe emotionally. smth smth two officers. both disgraced. and power dynamics#its fun. they're both hypocrites. they'd need couples therapy. its also 4am. shit. ok goodnight

i think carlo had the biggest family of all m2 characters bc it contained half of moretti's crew😭
#but the thing is that it isn't a family#anyway. i think he travelled through a lot of families/ppl when he came to empire bay (not knowing eng)#n ended up in little italy n then w moretti#like out of many versions i picked one that carlo's family sent him practically nowhere#n he had no one in empire bay. this is why he hates his family#n i dont think moretti actually played the father role when carlo was a kid like man is busy#ok hes like a busy papa who is never there😭 n gets rlly interested in his child only when they're older#oh. bout delusional hcs. eddie is an uncle now. this is like. pointless addition. but some thing w#his cousin's marriage is important (not to the plot but to show gloominess of vinci-moretti war period)#m2#oh fr there r so many things i want to sharrrrre. but later later bc i rewrite it a lot

oh yeah cipher suranga is having a bad time tm and also being a shit where he can about it
#ramblings#oc: suranga faraz#regular verse suranga only has to deal with. well. juggling 3 diff lives and keeping two major secrets under wraps. and being on the run#from a shadowy govt agency but. at least he's not being (actively) controlled by anyone#and has friends. can't say the same for cipher sura. definitely more murder-y w/o having formulative time away from horrible influences#he's been in the empire the entire damn time and had no reason to question his loyalties until now#so yeah id say the agent story is picking up. but i Will say one major disservice having companions for the ia story is#that they just don't react to the agent being given orders over the comm??? no comment. hello? very immersion breaking imho#anyway i might draw him. maybe even interacting with his regular verse self for shits and giggles

can't believe i went on that whole spiral in may 2022 trying to prove the neck touch thing Deeply Sinister (and many people to this day don't see it that way!!!) when it's literally right there in infinity war. that's where it leads. loki's love for his family + a possessive hand on his neck = loki being sacrificed. as many times as it takes for him to stay dead.
#space viking tag#meant to make a compilation ages ago and didnt bc iw is hard to track down. and hard to look at#but u could bookend the entirety of thor's sinister-affectionate neck touch motif with#a) odin holding baby loki#and b) thanos killing loki#hmm maybe also jotun soldier grabbing loki -> blue hand but it's not as fundamental#also you know in an earlier version of thor 1 laufey picked up loki by his throat when he recognised him as his son.......#god. it's so fucked up.#also this is a dog motif. to me#(or other animal it doesn't rlly matter)#also the collar in tdw. the fucking collar. g o d#odin i am killing u with hammers.#meta#ch: loki#s: a3#th: neck touch#th: suicide + sacrifice#th: love as horror#th: abuse + empire

((…Y’know there are SO many issues with Hien and the writing surrounding him
But uh
“Why didn’t he just give the amnesiac woman to the FUCKING GARLEAN EMPIRE” is not one of them wtf))
#; mun ranting#not reblogging the original post mostly because I have a giant bone to pick here but like#of all the things wrong with Hien’s writing#the blatant imperialism towards the Xaela#the staunch refusal to do anything about the fuckin sex slaver and blaming HER for it#(or least that’s how the ENG text is written!)#the way that this COULD be interesting characterization#of the very morally-grey sort#if the text wasn’t kinda hellbent on excusing him from consequences#that that’s probably a result of IRL Japan’s seriously bloody history on all these things#where they constantly pull a USA and either insist it didn’t happen#or that it wasn’t THAT bad#…not giving up the lady who can’t even remember her own name#to the asshole empire who likes to backstab everyone anyway#sure ain’t one of ‘em#okay pettiness done time to go do something actually useful#instead of bitching on the Internet

“You simply cannot fit more America into a single incident than a man dying a horrifying death in protest of war crimes while a first responder screams at cops to stop pointing their guns at him and go get fire extinguishers. If you were to pick a single moment in history to sum up the essence and expression of the US empire, that would be it.”
Caitlin Johnstone, The Most American Thing That Has Ever Happened
