no but sock’s overall body language during Jon’s death scene…… the way his eyes dart the way he extends his hands slightly when he starts to fall but hesitates OUUUUGH .

you're all tarted up and you don't look the same but it just gets worse [1] [2] [3] [4]

So I know D-16’s yellow eyes and black helmet were supposed to be a reference to Megatron’s original design in the comics and beta designs for the g1 cartoon

But like, Optimus had yellow eyes originally too, in the comics and I think some concepts, and in his toy as well. So why can’t Orion get yellow eyes too?

If Machete and Vasco were roommates before they became a couple, there had to have been moments of innocent touching/body contact, followed by deep gay panic.

HRT that turns you into a leopard gecko:

immediate results: start to feel colder all the time

2-4 weeks: skin itches a lot, vegetables start to churn your stomach, mucous membranes like your eyes and mouth feel drier

3-6 months: skin starts to flake off in noticeable dandruff-like patches all over your body. you should start using an oil based moisturizer since the water based ones just dont do the trick anymore. You should also start transitioning your diet to insectivore. your coccyx hurts when you sit for too long.

6-9 months: a nub of a cartilage tail starts to work it's way out of your lower back. the skin it creates is smooth and doesn't look like scarring at all. it even has some spots on it. you've started noticing freckles here and there. Your eyes are also looking different, rounder and muted color.

12 months: your doctor offers genetic testing to approximate what morph you will be, since human phenotypes aren't a 100% accurate at predicting it. You decline, you want to be surprised. You've reached a point where you can't hide it anymore if you wanted to. Your hair is falling out all over now. Your skin peels off in patches like a sunburn, and every new layer is yellow or orange and some have spots. Your teeth sit weird in your mouth and feel smaller. Your tail is about a foot long now, it has a long way to grow. You mostly cook with cricket flour or eat premixed meals since you're not fully on board with eating half your weight in straight up bugs yet, but you're relieved roaches don't freak you out anymore. They just make you hungry.

18 months: your eyes are visibly spaced further apart, and your nose is starting to flatten out. you know your face won't look 100% like you want it to, the hormones can only do so much, but you already look positively reptilian. you shaved your head to help the hair finish up, and are surprised you don't miss it. your fingers feel less nimble now, and you have to wear braces to get anything done during the day. your claws take nail polish just fine. You pick up a new space heater at the store even though it's only August.

2 years: Your skin has evened out and mostly sheds all at once now. You think you're a tangerine carrot tail, judging by how yellow and spotted your body is, but orange and white your tail is. You're comfortably at a point where people stop asking "so what are you? a lizard?" as soon as they see how fat your tail is. your dating profile pics have a little too much tongue in them.

6 years+: some surgery helped fix some of the last little snags, tucking all your bottom bits into a neat vent, and finishing the shaping on your face. You don't even scar from them either, a win-win. Your partner is now used to running you a steaming shower whenever they see you rubbing your back on the corner of a wall. They're also good at judging your diet a bit too closely thanks to your squishy fat tail. When your work got too busy for a month and you lived off tea and handfuls of grasshopper granola, they could tell you weren't yourself as your tail thinned and drooped. They scheduled some time off so the two of you could go to the desert. It's so warm, even at night, this time of year, and you can see all the stars. They didn't want to kiss you after you ate a scorpion off the floor, but it was all worth it because you felt recharged, refreshed, and at home in your gecko body again.

The First Berserker: Khazan — Skalpel's coffin grab ⚰️

[isfjmel-phleg]

During one of his encounters with Vandal Savage, after a lengthy and strenuous display of how far his powers can go, Grant is offered something to drink and asks for a double chocolate milkshake, which he eagerly gulps down.

A few years later, he's in a grocery store shopping for a teammate's birthday party and complaining that he doesn't like ice cream. Uh-huh, sure. Of course JSA-era Grant is typically surly, so this might be him being difficult on purpose. But there could be something else behind it.

(Damage #15 / Justice Society of America 2007 #26)

Grant has spent the better part of the past year in hospitals being (mostly unsuccessfully) treated for facial trauma after being brutally beaten. We know that in addition to severe scarring, his injuries specifically were "a crushed nasal cavity and a mangled profile," which likely would include some kind of damage to his jaw. Which would mean having to live off soft foods for however long. Which often involves, among other things, a lot of ice cream.

Easy way to get sick of something or to develop unpleasant associations with it. In this light, his being difficult about this makes a little more sense.

question is, will i finish this?

Milotic :)

p sure I’m gonna give her to Yvonne for the big xy wip. think she’s got a carotenoid variation (group of red-orange-yellow pigment) that makes more of her tail scales red than blue, but you can still kinda see which scales were supposed to be blue, they’ve got a faint plumish shimmer (idk how genetics work. it’s my fic and I get to choose what the Pokemon look like). She may have bioluminescent spots on her fins, I haven’t decided if they’re making the final cut. In the y hack I’m gonna replay through when z-a’s release date drops you can fish feebas in parfum palace and Yvonne quietly freaks about because holy shit are feebas rare and she didn’t read anything about feebas on palace grounds?? and the gang aren’t as familiar with feebas as she is so when they ask her why she’s got this weird lookin fish she shrugs and says I’ve got a good feeling about her and then she evolves at some point and Xavier immediately regrets not being so interested when she first appeared on Yvonne’s team. I think her name’s Joan

Well this is a heartbreaking realization to be had.

So Jon Kent was trapped in that alternate universe volcano for several of his childhood years. Then when he returned to his home universe, he was significantly older than when he'd left, and basically had to start acting his own age in order to prepare for his impending adulthood.

Now, who else had been cheated out of many of his childhood years by being forcibly separated from his own reality, and then was expected to mature quickly after he escaped so he could adjust to all these sudden changes in his life?

Bart Allen.

i seriously don't understand the 'being trans is like dying and becoming a new person' thing from either the cool goth transgender side or the sad cis parent/spouse side.

Throwback to last year when I generated random numbers, looked it up on the Pokedex, and drew whatever pokemon it was.

No I wasn't all that into Pokemon nor do I know anything about it lore wise, I just find little guys cool. My favorites in these pages are Bombirdier and Arctovish

[starrywangxian]

ed, my beautiful babygirl with many disorders, throwing away your leathers (and maybe the cannon ball that was used to kill you) was not the slay move you think it was. you were panicking and being whim-prone. take yor own advice!! take things slow!! dramatically ditiching the pirate life the second you find fishing cool and fun is still moving too fast !!!

if i was better with my words, i'd probably link the end of s2 e3 to this because i think ed throwing the leathers into the water was a nudge to this!!
