[archangeldyke-all]

i feel weird saying something so straight forward to a stranger but😭

do u think sev would be the type to suddenly start groping you in public 😳

like maybe you’re both sitting in the last drop, and obviously sevs playing poker or some shit, and maybe she just reaches a hand over and starts rubbing in between your legs over your pants, and maybe her cloak is covering what shes doing up🤭🤭 and even if someone did see, its not like they would say anything bc everyone is scared shitless of her

i think the sevika sphere must have hive mind because i shit you not i got this ask like within an hour of this one:

S-sev groping her girl whenever opportunity arises and her girl being endlessly turned on by it👉🏻👈🏻

hehehe

men and minors dni

sometimes she does it on purpose, but most of the time it's subconscious.

sevika just likes touching you! it's her love language! if you're within reaching distance, sevika's likely got her hands on you.

sometimes it's just your hand. sometimes it's her arm draped around your shoulders, or her fingers tickling the nape of your neck. sometimes, she'll sneak her hand into the back pocket of your pants and give your ass a squeeze, but most of the time she just puts it back there to rest it there.

hands on your hips, around your wrist, her arm hooked with yours-- she just likes having her hands on you. it helps her feel secure-- you ground her in a lot of ways, and when she's touching you she knows you're safe.

but sometimes, when sevika's subconsciously reaching out for you, her hands land somewhere they probably shouldn't.

like when she swings her arm around your shoulders and her palm falls on your tit.

or when she reaches over to hold you while you're sitting beside each other, and her hand lands on your upper thigh.

or it cups your cunt.

like right now.

you're sitting beside her while she plays her cards. she's completely unaware of your current predicament, chatting and laughing with the boys, mech hand holding her cards, while her flesh thumb draws circles against your clothed crotch.

you wonder what she thinks she's touching. she can feel your thighs clenching around her hand-- she has to know she's holding you there, but she's oblivious, the itch in her brain to touch you has been soothed, and she doesn't question it any farther.

so you have to sit and be cool while your girlfriend gropes you in the middle of the crowded bar.

luckily, nobody can see beneath the table.

luckily, nobody would even dare to say anything to sev even if they could.

unluckily, sevika's just ordered another round for the table, meaning she's nowhere near done for the night.

when theriam returns with a tray full of glasses, you down yours before he can finish passing everyone else's out. he shoots you a weird look when you ask him to bring you two more. you're going to need them if you're going to get through tonight.

ten minutes pass. sevika's hand doesn't move, her thumb doesn't cease it's teasing, gentle swiing.

twenty minutes. at one point sevika leans over to press a smooch to your temple. your cunt throbs in her hand. she has no idea.

at the thirty minute mark, you get fed up.

you don't know why you thought more alcohol would help you tame your arousal. it's only made it worse. beside you, sevika's got a cigar between her teeth and a furrow between her brows as she studies her hand of cards. she looks so fucking good you think you might pass out.

sevika chuckles at something someone at the table said, her eyes scrunching up with her smile, the little gap in her teeth revealing itself. that's it.

you reach forward and grab her flesh wrist, pressing her hand firmly against your cunt and squeezing your thighs around her hand.

beside you, sevika freezes.

you can see the gears turning in her head as she realizes exactly which part of you she's been groping. the cigar in her mouth droops as her jaw drops. her thumb ceases it's sweeping motion. her eyes grow wide, you watch in fascination as her pupils dialate.

she's still not looking at you. you quickly scan the crowd at the table. nobody's looking in your direction, so you lean forward to whisper.

"you are driving me. fucking. crazy." you growl against her ear.

sevika snaps back to life, turning to look at you as you sink back against the booth.

when your eyes meet, sevika gulps. your lips twitch up at the side, and sevika's eyes snap down to study your mouth.

"fuck." sevika whispers, her voice shaky. you smile.

"your turn's next." you say, nodding at the table. sevika blinks, her eyes darting to the game before looking back at you. she licks her lips.

sevika's eyes dart up and down your body, trying to soak in the sight of you before she has to focus on the game again. you can tell she's fucking you in her head, can see her eyes mentally stripping you of your clothes. you chortle, and stop on her foot beneath the table.

it's her turn.

sevika turns her attention back to the game, but under the table against your cunt, her fingers start wiggling against you. you hide your gasp by faking a yawn. two can play this game.

you slump against sevika's side, nuzzling your head against her shoulder and hugging her arm, pretending you're just tired and resting against your girl.

tilting your head so only sevika can hear you, you let out a tiny, quiet whimper. sevika fumbles with her cards and shoots you a glare. you ignore her.

sevika's hand joins her fingers in their movement, her palm rubbing circles at the apex of your thighs, giving your clothed clit enough friction to make your thighs twitch. you dig your nails into her arm, and beside you, sevika lets out a little gasp of pain.

"you good, sev?" ran asks across the table. sevika freezes beside you, and you bite your lip to hide your laugh.

"y-yeah, all good. gonna have to call it quits for the night. my girl's gettin' tired, gotta get her home and put her in bed."

a chorus of groans and protests ring out around the table. you have to bite back your smile as sevika rises from the bench, waving goodbye to her friends, then glaring at you when she sees you still sitting.

the second you're on your feet, sevika's grabbing your arm and dragging you out of the bar. you laugh the whole way.

she ducks down the alley with you in tow, shoving you against a brick wall and crowding into your space. you smile at her.

"thought we had to get home? thought i was gettin' tired?" you tease her. sevika rolls her eyes.

"fuck off." she mumbles. you giggle.

"you're so cute. so clingy you don't even realize you're practically fingerbanging me at the table."

sevika groans. "shut up!" she says, a faint blush blooming on her cheeks. you grin.

"what did you think you were holding?" you ask between your giggles. sevika chuckles, unable to stop herself, and shrugs.

"i dunno, just like havin' my hands on you." she says. "helps me think."

you melt, all your teases dying at her words. you reach forward and pull her closer to you by her belt loops until she's crushing you against the wall. her hands grip your hips. "give me a kiss." you whisper.

sevika smirks, and leans forward to press her lips against yours in a sweet, chaste kiss. you sigh against her, pushing her away before she can get handsy, taking her hand in yours.

"c'mon. take me home and put me to bed." you say with a wink. sevika laughs.

"oh, with pleasure." she says, swinging your hands between the two of you as you begin your stroll home.

May I ask specifically for Soundwave doing it to Shockwave?

Oh ho ho let's get that HOLE real talk this thought got away from me a bit so there's some finger sucking and ass play under the cut. That includes fingers, spike, AND rimming bby. Oh yeah and I'm inserting my nullified Shockwave hc in here too but it's nothing explicit, bruv just has no cock or puss. This also escalated into overloading untouched so enjoy!

I think Shockwave should have a thing for Soundwave's face under the mask. Maybe it's jealousy, maybe it's remembering his own face, maybe it's just the fact that Soundwave undoubtedly has some *luscious* dick sucking lips. Whatever it is, once Shockwave convinces him to take off the face mask the full horny comes out.

Brushing his thumb over Soundwave's soft bottom lip, pressing down and watching the protomesh give beneath him. Unlike Shocks, Sounders is pretty expressive beneath the mask. His expression screws up with a pout, he bites the inside of his cheek or the tip of his glossa. Shockwave hates (loves??) it. Soundwave's lips part and Shockwave takes the opportunity to savor the delightful wet warmth around his digits. He tries to picture biolights seated in the joints, protomesh instead of hard metal.

Empurata took more than just his face and his hands, and despite Lord Megatron's generosity (in equal proportion to your use), there were limits. No amount of donor parts would ever feel like his, and so Shockwave had to settle for using the one part of his that handed been destroyed by the Senate.

And Soundwave, despite his reputation for being quiet, knew how to use his tongue.

Soundwave's servos hold his thighs, drawing musical notations across the outside of one as the other slides up and presses along either side of Shocks' aft port. If he focuses, Shockwave can almost feel the pulse of arousal deep in the pit of his belly, right behind his permanently sealed valve cover and spike housing. Nothing was there. Nothing. Just empty slots where they once were. The blue boombox hums-- a rich sound without the mask synthesizer-- and a warm, humid breath brushes along his hole. Quickly followed by the swipe of a glossa, so brief it sends a shiver through his systems that not even shadowplay can supress.

"Stop stalling." He drones, gripping the edge of the table he laid belly-down upon with his good servo.

There was an electric buzz that haunted the air for a moment, the tell-tale sign of Soundwave trying to probe his mind and field. But shadowplay renders the field deaf and the vocalizer numb. He settles instead for pressing his glossa tighter to the iris of synthetic muscle and dutifully working at it.

Shockwave's body doesn't react to the ripples of liquid sin Sound's tongue pours over his sensory net, but he feels them still. Soundwave at least doesn't seem to mind a quiet lover. He loses himself to the moment, probably listening to music within his own mind as his tongue and lips work the purple mech open. Soon fingers join the fray and Shockwave's systems start to throw heat through his vents, hot enough to steam the air and make condensation sit on his plating.

Sounders pulls away, but not without leaving a long trail of solvent dripping down from his port all over the inside of his thighs. Shockwave's hole twitches, and Soundwave just leans in and swirls his tongue over the flushed protometal like it's the sweetest, filthiest treat.

"Stop stalling." Shockwave says again, his vocalizer clipped and his whining vents speaking more for his need. He can't overload from this, but it was close enough.

It takes an utterly embarrassing amount of energy to pull his pedes up beneath him, but he bows his back and tries to turn his helm to look over his shoulder.

He says it again, "Stop stalling." But Soundwave knows he means "Please frag me."

It is a logical enough conclusion.

So Soundwave hums again and takes the purple mech by the hips. There's a shoop-whiiiiiir of his plating retracting, then hefty weight of Sounder's spike sitting so enticingly plapping against his throbbing entrance.

"Stop stall--!?"

And then Soundwave lines himself up, and shoves himself to the hilt in one fell swoop. He's searingly hot, thicker than even Shockwave's digits, and he feels so good.

The quietest huffs escape his vents and Soundwave doesn't wait for him to adjust, he knows how loved and knows he likes it rough. Fingers slide up around his throat, not quite squeezing but it still takes Shockwave aback when the blue mech pulls him up off his front. Pulling his body taut against him, and Shockwave swears he can feel the boombox's massive spike pressing a bulge out against his abdomen.

"Query: Shockwave, cannot overload?"

If he's had a mouth Shockwave was certain he'd be beyond words. The lips in the side of his helm, brushing his audials, makes him shake minutely.

"Affirmative."

"Soundwave: Has an idea."

Before Shockwave can even question him, there's another click. His hand slides up to hold Soundwave's forearm, calculations running in the back of his processor for what the boombox could possibly be thinking. But his answer comes not as words but, vibration.

Soundwave's spike starts vibrating with such sudden, deep haste that Shockwave actually does gasp. It ruins him from his pedes to his processor, so deep he can feel it in his fuel pump. And with a shout his aft quivers around Soundwave, white blinding his vision and then spurts of thick, pink transfluid dumping into his chute. Never before had Shockwave felt so loose, wet, and properly used. His pedes give out, his optic flashes, and electricity crackles all along his body as his first overload in millions of years wrecked his body.

[iheartpeppino]

I'm bored, so I'm just gonna write what I find most attractive or appealing about each Pizza Tower character!

Peppino Spaghetti - His superhuman strength and speed is extremely impressive, and watching him in action is immensely satisfying. Also, the fact he takes the time to save the bosses from the crumbling Pizza Tower shows he has a caring heart. I'm also very fond of how expressive Peppino is, and I'm also quite fond of his design in general; he's a middle-aged, balding overweight man yet I find him very handsome.

Gustavo - Admittedly, I find Gustavo quite handsome and even cute. I also like that he's supposed to be a Mario expy whose partner is Rick the Hamster instead of Yoshi; it's an interesting spin. It's also nice Gustavo cares enough about Peppino that he's willing to help him take on the Pizza Tower, even if it means facing giant rats. I found out not too long ago that Gustavo has a son... but he's not married? Is he divorced? WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS WOULD DIVORCE GUSTAVO!? HE'S SUCH A NICE GUY WHAT THE HECK!?

Brick - Just like all the Stupid Rats, Brick is super adorable. One look at those eyes and I'm done. He's too cute. I love him. I want a Stupid Rat plushie and I want it NOW.

Mr. Scott Stick - This bald, skinny twig of a man... is admittedly handsome in my eyes. He's a jerk who scams desperate people for money, but GOSH... I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Mr. Stick can get it. He's a cutie. Is it the suit? I dunno, maybe. That, and he's apparently a huge dork when he's not scamming people... which I find endearing, oddly.

Phil Pepperman - This pepper is an absolute unit with a big grin and striking blue eyes. I wouldn't call myself a simp, but I understand completely why some people find Pepperman attractive. Personally, I find his pseudo-intellectual personality off-putting, but he is quite good-looking for a pepper.

Vigert Ebenezer Lantte - He's an older guy with a cowboy motif and a great sense of justice and responsibility. How can you not find that attractive? Yes, I know he's a cheese slime, who cares! Don't think I haven't seen people simp over this guy and draw him as a human, either!

Theodore "The" Noise - I'm not a Noise simp by any stretch, but if there is one thing I can say that's attractive about him... it would be his youthful spirit. Yes, The Noise is a manchild, but that's not always a bad thing.

Noisette - She's a very silly little lady whom I find very cute. I appreciate that her design is just as goofy as her boyfriend's, too.

Fake Peppino - What can I say? He's a monster, and I'm a monster lover. I like that he's adorable, silly, AND super deadly! I wanna kiss the frog man, if he'll let me.

Pizzaface - I've seen people draw this mech with a big, beefy body. I get it. Pizzaface's design is appealing, why wouldn't you give him a beefy body to match how powerful he is...?

Pizzahead - HANDSOME UNHINGED SILLY-ASS PIZZA CLOWN MAKES MY MIND GO BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. The sheer autism I have for this guy is unreal. His laugh, his design, his obsession with Peppino, his weird motivations... HE'S NUTS AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

Pillar John - Uh... I like his hat? I mostly find John intimidating due to his sheer size and that damned Meatophobia music that plays when you go near him...

Gerome - He has a neat design. I've seen some interesting fan art of him hooking up with pretty girls who are much taller than he is. Good for him, honestly.

BONUS: Maurice Spaghetti - He looks like Peppino but with more hair and facial hair... in other words, handsome. Too bad his personality is utterly abysmal!

[mychlapci]

I’m thinking about mechpreg again!

That one episode of tfp where Ratchet makes his little drug and he feels young and full of energy again.

Well now with that in mind, IDW Ratchet does something similar and this is also during the war, but there was like a massive draw back, he keeps going into heat, wanting to be bred full of little bitlets. (Pussy pulsing for real)

So instead of doing the smart thing and getting rid of the drugs….he takes the extra amount.

He’s fighting off some Decepticon ass until he feels the heat creep into him. He stumbles a little and his legs are all of the sudden too weak to hold him. The Decepticons can practically smell the heat of him and it’s not looking all to good for poor Ratchet.

Deadlock the mech himself sees a group of Decepticons fighting over something so he goes and when he sees Ratchet a lonely Autobot, laying there on the ground, valve in the air, begging for someone to take care of him, who was Deadlock to deny himself such a treat.

Deadlock who was now ramming Ratchets valve over and over again as he begs for little deadlocks inside of him, was making Deadlock snap his hips even harder, showing everyone that this Autobot was his now.

After a couple of months Ratchet gets fat, like sexy pregnant fat. He’s moody, horny…moody. Deadlock bounces Ratchet on his spike until he’s filled up and happy, but Ratchet’s puffy valve is making Deadlock crazy with baby fever. His hips snapping up into Ratchet’s puffy valve, holding his pregnant belly, his knot pulsing as he tries to push it in.

Of course some how the Autobots rescue Ratchet, probably when Deadlock was taking him for a walk outside because Ratchet wanted to go out.

Ratchet gives birth to little bitlets with red eyes, I can just imagine how the Autobots would react to this.

But I know damn well Deadlock is gonna want to see his kids, since he is the father. (And then probably kidnap Ratchet and the bitlets and raise his little family.

interesting. Ratchet taking a harmless supplement that’s supposed to help him out on the battlefield, but it's meddling with his systems and he begins to enter his heat cycle more often, finding himself waking up in the middle of the night just mere weeks after the last cycle had died out, leaking lubricants again, forge begging for a bitlet…

Ratchet trying to bypass the effects by simply taking a little bit more and for a while it works, his efficiency increases, and he has no heat cycles for the foreseeable future, so it seems like his frame has fully stabilized… Then his heat slams into him with enough force to make him gasp right there in the field, just as he’s trying to fight off some decepticons. He can’t even get up because his legs immediately tremble and give out when he tries. His panels are drenched, already leaking a puddle under him and he’s starting to get dizzy from the throbbing in his valve. He doesn’t care if he’s surrounded by decepticons, someone needs to fuck him right now. 

And they try, the ’Cons go crazy, one of them gets a hold of his leg and tries to pull him closer but another knocks him down to the ground and punches him for a while before noticing that the third one is getting closer to Ratchet, who’s panels have popped open because his spike pressurized so quickly, and his valve got too swollen to fit. 

Deadlock finding the commotion is like a sign from heaven, he completely bypasses the fighting and takes advantage of the cycling little autobot offering himself so willingly. How could he have refused? Deadlock must have him, knot him, fill his forge with so much transfluid that Ratchet can feel it weighing him down as he’s dragged into Deadlock’s capture.

mhmmmm Ratchet having the time of his life in capture, lovingly supplied with transfluid multiple times a day, sleeping with a fat knot stuck in his fat valve, claws holding onto his growing belly... And when he gives birth back in an autobot hospital, and the little one took after Deadlock… people probably pity him a lot, worrying about how much anguish he must have gone through, trapped with a decepticon and getting bred over and over, obviously against his will… 

Maybe Ratchet goes into heat again, shortly after the sparkling is born, and oh, how convenient that Deadlock had managed to sneak in and is right there and so willing to take him. 

[emissaryorca]

I haven’t thought about the mgs movie in a bit but a stress-induced dissociative fugue has suddenly reminded me of its (supposed in development) existence so now I’ll subject u to it

- What I’m thinking and fearing might happen is what I like to call the Top Gun scenario, wherein folks see “cool mech on the verge of possibility” and think it would be a great time to enlist. Nevermind that half the sticking point of machines like metal gear REX existing is their secrecy to both a populace and its army, the dirty millions funding their production, and in the case of the Shagohod + sahelanthropus, their purpose from inception as weapons to destabilize or annihilate any sort of existing detente. Real otacon moments. But I suppose that has already been happening (if that old ass Reddit post about that one dude joining the army bc of 1 was any indication) and who knows? Today’s audience might recognize this absurdity as the global violence in waiting it has yet to become, or they might point and go “cool mech” and that’ll be the end of it. Or both! No judgment here. I’m only curious, for now.

- I think this has just ballooned into a sort of mother-hen instinct that some self-fabricated straw man of a movie audience won’t “get” metal gear. Like sure it kinda breaks my heart to see dA artists draw snake like the next Rambo, oversized neck muscles and all, but I’ve read and watched just as many comments, op-eds, video essays from ppl with a general understanding that these pixelated soldiers are either generating military filth (yellowcake?!) or actively trying to wipe their hands of it ad infinitum. What love becomes to ppl whose violence is infinitely replicable, so on so forth. Neck muscles make for imposing men, and perhaps that’s “cool” here; it sells the myth he never wanted to be. Tbh I don’t know if I “get” metal gear either: I will never perfectly pin why kojima + co thought an agent who shoots hornets from his body should go where he did, but I think I like that. What an oddity.

- I suppose I wish for a few things: don’t tone down the “weird” bits… the odd monologue about love, the inexplicable powers. Don’t shy away from reality: real military treaties, real statistics about bombs or massacres, real tech, snide comments about both the future of the franchise and tech at large. I would love to see this movie break its nails from trying, bc a series of this stature shouldn’t be constrained to a movie I can file in past the endless war clones of its early 20th-21st century inspirations. I want this movie to taste of contradiction, and in doing so taste memorable. Speaking of love on a battlefield and looking like that… “how naïve!!” Good.

- Beyond that I don’t have a sense of what would feel “right” for the series: ppl have spoken ill about 2, 4, and perhaps even 5 in those terms and I’ve always found those arguments post-2 a bit tiring: things weren’t intended to go this far, yet Vogt-Roberts is still director, last I checked. So you do you, production crew. You do you, actors and writers. Stay the course, you peddlers of nostalgia—who to please, what kinds of stockholders would let you get silly? Your call sign is “rock and a hard place”.

hi hello this is definitely too loud a question what the HELL happened in genshin impact recently. people who I've rarely or never seen post GI art are drawing this blue edition Scaramouche (?)

I've understood he died and got revived but I know nothing beyond that? Why is everyone going ape please enlighten me

ok so basically. during the sumeru story quest we found out that the akademiya was basically working with the fatui, and we had to break out of a dream time loop they put everyone in to harvest the dreams of everyone to power the creation of a new god. the new god in question being scaramouche in a giant EVA lookin machine, which dottore made. over the course of this we learn scaramouche has been dottore's experimental subject for like Centuries and its been pretty painful. so after we broke the dendro archon out of Library Prison, we went to beat this new god. which we did. and scaramouche was all like NOOOO DONT TAKE MY ELECTRO GNOSIS but we did anyway and he fell out of his mech and ended up in a coma. then the traveler does some other stuff and comes back to sumeru city like "boy that scaramouche guy sure was an asshole im glad nahida (the dendro archon) has him under control" and then immediately sees scaramouche just. walking around. so we go to nahida's house and find that, because scaramouche was almost a god, he still has a connection to irminsul, the world tree that has all of teyvats knowledge, and nahidas basically been using him as her irminsul tech guy. scaramouche is still an asshole but hes fine with this arrangement because he believes he only has worth as a person if hes useful to someone, and he'll no longer be accepted by the fatui because he failed to not have his ass beaten by us. we go into irminsul with scaramouche so he can try to find info about our sister and hes actually like. helpful. like hes still a dick about everything but hes helpful. but in the process we learn his Backstory where, after being cast out by Ei, he went to tatarasuna and befriended the workers there but everything went tits up and he came to believe that his bestie there killed a guy. turns out that was all Dottore's doing, his bestie didn't actually kill that guy, and scaras like. yo what the fuck. so you're telling me my wanton revenge on like Everyone in inazuma was unwarranted? and hes like. hey traveler. is it possible to use irminsul to erase the past? traveler doesn't respond but our expression betrays us (because we used irminsul to erase the memory of a wholeass god from the fuckin timeline earlier, long story) and hes like kk bye and proceeds to erase himself from the timeline. we wake up and paimon doesn't remember scaramouche but we do because the traveler isnt affected by what goes on in irminsul since theyre not from teyvat. we go to inazuma and find out all the Bad Stuff in scara's backstory still happened, just through different means. turns out nahida figured this might happen and stored another copy of scaramouches backstory by writing it like an abstracted fairytale where scaramouche is literally a kitten. poor little meow meow indeed. so now we're like. well. scara erased the memory of him but not himself so he should still be around here somewhere? we then find him immediately in his new blue drip helping out a merchant who sheltered him in the rain and hes just. a Nice Guy. just a Wholesome Little Lad with no memories who just calls himself Wanderer. not for long though cuz we drag this bitch back to Nahida and shes like "i got ur memories dude do u want em" and hes like "well i suppose im down for a good ol Journey Through My Psyche" which we then embark on. and at the end we fight a dream version of his big ol god mech. and at this point our little Wanderer boy is kinda having an identity crisis. nahida gives him back all his memories as the traveler fights to protect him and theres a dramatic cutscene and shit and then he gets an anemo vision. and we get to play as him beating his own ass. then afterward he says he'll probably still help out nahida but is also gonna make all those who manipulated and hurt him pay, go girlboss. and lets the traveler name him (i chose Eurus, the east wind).

so, in conclusion: we learned that scaramouche is actually a poor little meow meow with a tragic backstory whos been tortured for centuries and believes that he is nothing if hes not useful to someone and joined up with the fatui because he believed a gnosis was the only way to become whole and what he was meant to be, that without the burdens of his past he is fundamentally a good and nice person, and now hes a bratty little antihero who wants vengeance on those who wronged him and is coming to terms with his past. so thats why everyones going ape

[tatonslice]

hello :J i hope u dont mind me asking. but what is mo4 all about. this morikaze fellow seems very charming (:

my descent into morikaze hell is what happens when you view a character only through fanworks. this is about to be long because you’ve given me an opportunity to yell about mori . because its so long everything is under the cut

tldr mo4 is a funny jrpg and morikaze kinda sucks but its in a stereotypical way and he was done dirty with the way he was written and i like him because for a while i was unaware about the part where he sucked ass

mo4 stands for MARIKINonline4 and it is an japanese rpg game with no english translation revolving stick figures that are the species “numa” (there are humans in this game, entirely different) and they’re all a bit fucked up in one way or another (whether in a good or bad way depends)

morikaze is a part of MDCR (mindy corporation) which is the game’s antagonist group. i think he’s the first main member you fight. and also he has cool ice powers. its not uncommon for numa to just be able to Do things like that!

I FORGOT ABOUT HIS MECH. He has a mech he gets into its called the HMB Euphonium and it has trumpets in it. bwaa

its my icon:)

morikaze is a case where i think the fucked up thing about them is bad but im a firm believer that this guy was done dirty. he sucks in a particular way that makes me sad especially because he’s the only numa in this game who isn’t built like a stick (aside from syumitaro but that dude’s a bit silly)

like look at him. it feels weird when i talk about drawing stickmen and im just drawing mori cause thats not a stick. but like the way he sucks is just so stereotypically tied to his design it fucks me up a little bit. You look so cool for a guy whos 2nd personality trait is “painfully heterosexual.”

now at this point you’re probably asking me “how do you know he sucks if it’s untranslated” and “why do you like him if he sucks”

from what i can understand from the cgs, and from what i understand from both my friend familiar with japnese, and the fandom’s general attitude towards him, This Guy Sucks.

so why do i like him?

put yourself in my shoes for a bit. april 24th, 2023. you’ve literally never played mo4 and yet you have been watching japanese mo4 animations because you found one to a song you had been listening to, and now you keep getting them recommended to you and you just keep watching

and in some of these videos.. there’s a guy.

he stands out a little. a notably different stature to the rest of the cast, wearing his uniform coat like a cape, the bright yellow. something about it speaks to you, this design appeals to you specifically. but its also familiar.

THATS RIGHT. HE REMINDS ME OF SERGEY FROM SERGEY FUCKING SATURDAY. THEY DON’T EVEN REALLY LOOK ALL TOO SIMILAR BUT IT’S LIKE HALF OF THE REASON I LIKE HIM. the other half is that during this point i was unaware of how much he kinda sucked so now i just like to pretend all of the shit that sucked never happened :)

isn’t he so cool looking. Why did they animate him like this hes fundamentally a fucking Joke

but yeah sorry to break it to you i was devestated when i found out :(

Reigning champ of the title Biggest Dumbass in the Galaxy, Kingston is in hot water with almost every major power there is. Despite his incredibly accurate title, he is incredibly crafty and tricky and can hold his own in a fight. He's broken out of every jail they've put him in so far, and has piloted almost every ship there is.

Pepper Flynn - Gunner

Kingstons slightly more competent sister, Pepper is something of a gadget master. She can be given any number of scraps and trash, and 10 times out of 10, she can make some kind of gun or bomb out of it. Can and does gladly embarrass men every chance she gets.

Xiri Kobayashi - Mechanic

Incredibly tired, in momentous debt, and generally grouchy, Xiri fixed the tachyon drive of the Cobalt all by herself using scrap and parts threatened out of the hands of levicraft mechanic garages. Both her legs and her left arm had to be replaced with robotic prosthetics due to Intense Personal Backstory Trauma.

Dr. Theolonious Mainecoon - Tech officer & navigator

First of all, the first drawing of him is actually a mech suit, because he is a cat. Sporting 3 phds and a general dislike of people, Theo is the smartest one on the ship and he knows it. His bow tie lets him communicate with the plebeians he calls friends. It's also quite dapper.

Pagkakataón - Comms officer & chef

Also known as Pag (not the juice) they are a Lalaki-i'a, a race of psychic fish people know for their incredible telekinetic abilities. Despite their whole deal (being a fish) the Cobalt comes equipped with an APAS (aquatic persons accommodation system) and they even have their own garden where they grow delicious fruits and veggies.

Uzei Azraqi - Gunner

Uzei is the runaway Princex of the planet Ba'ildren. They're versed in diplomacy and bargaining, but if shit hits the fan, they can kick your ass in seven different styles of Galactic martial arts. They also make a mean Ba'ildraneese stew.

Sto Awi - medic

Unassuming, but clever and brutally curious, Sto stared out as a stowaway (get it?) The drawing pictured is of her mech body, much like Theo's. That's because she's a slug. A brain slug. I think you can figure out what brain slugs do. (Starstruck Odyssey fans rise up.) It's probably a good idea to give her access to medicinal chemicals. Probably.

(Heights inaccurate. Uzei is 7ft while Xiri is 6'4")

(yes hello kitty is canon dont come at me)

I love these stupid space idiots and will definitely be posting more of them in the future

My Live Tweet thread of Gen:Lock

(I copy and pasted a Twitter Thread of my reaction to Gen:Lock. I'm more active on Twitter, so if ya want to see more from me, my @ is LeviJones101st)

I don't usually do this, but I decided to live tweet my watch through of Gen:Lock.

Let's see if this shit show was worth all the workplace abuse and fucking over of the Nomad of Nowhere.

Spoilers: I believe the answer is gonna be no.

Okay. Starting out and this is more of a small thing, but I've gotten really sick of Sci fi settings that always like showing off how super advanced they are by showing technology that does not look like it'd be used.

Like Dave and his girlfriend decided to take leave to visit his mom with……some kind of physical hologram?

Why? Why do this instead of just physically going there?

My nitpicking aside. This opener is actually really solid, establishing this mysterious threat that I totally didn't spoil myself on and making the main hero look likable.

"How did it get so close?!" Lady. If nome of you noticed that thing, ya'll would have fallen apart even if this Union thing wasn't around.

Okay, this opening episode was actually pretty good.

And….wooow that Theme Song does not match this kind of show. It's apparently a licensed song, which is just baffling to me.

They forced people from their other projects to rush their work on this show, they had a moral line not to force a rush job from Jeff and Casey Williams?

I mean, I'm happy for them not being forced to crunch out or anything, I just find it funny that's where they draw the line.

I like that Chase is actually taking all of this very well.

It's actually quite nice.

OH MY GOD! THEY SAID THE THANG! can I go home now?

Doc….I think they're meeting their future regardless……I mean the future is the time that isn't now…….so technically they'll never meet it.

Also, I do believe that people should grieve however they can……but Miranda is kind of an asshole. At least the lady in MoU said 'good to say ya again'

I actually really love Weller. He is just so casual about everything and I love it.

I'm actually getting into this show. It is a bit slow though, ESPECIALLY for an 8 episode season.

"Making soldiers out of children!" Lady. These are grown ass adults. We're these guys meant to be like teenagers originally?

WELLER! JUST TELL THEM THE SPY WASN'T COMPATIBLE!

Weller's speech about "making a difference" is actually quite nice.

I'm already halfway through S1 and while it's been slow going, I'm actually really enjoying myself so far.

Hey. They're saying the RWBY thing.

This Nemesis thing is actually pretty cool.

And the action is actually pretty solid.

Being in a digital space where you control the mech and can affect the mind and personality of the mech pilot is actually a very interesting concept.

I'm sure somewhere this idea was done before, but this is an interesting concept.

The Chase clone twist is actually very compelling.

"Your Deus Ex Machina!"

That's actually a very clever double meaning with the phrase, kudos.

It took us til the end of the season, but we finally got the genlocks in their promoted designs.

The designs do clash with the shows visual aesthetic, but they are actually cool.

Okay. Overall, this first season was actually pretty good.

I'll be watching the second season tommorow, since it's like 10:00 where I live and i have a cavity filling tommorow.

So if what I heard about Season 2 is true, ill be in for a double whammy of pain.

Got a cavity filling and I can't feel the left side of my mouth.

Sounds like the perfect condition to watch Gen:Lock S2. I might be out of it, so maybe there won't be much live tweeting.

Hopefully, people were just overexaggerating how bad it is and it's just okay at worst.

Though I doubt it given what I've heard.

Okay this theme song matches the show better……but honestly this one just sucks.

And immediately it's clear that it's a different person writing for the show.

"Kazu is just whining" no, he’s not. You're just being childish Chase.

Aside from some awkwardness with the new creative team, this first episode was actually pretty solid.

Are they…….are they trying to make the Union look like they were in the right?????¿

Also, a good showcase of why you can't just stretch something into a 16:9 screen format

The Union:

Did the priest dude just use a deadass evil switch.

Wow, they really are tying to present this as a grey on grey conflict, aren't they?

Oh my lord they are.

OH WOELW! THAT SEX SCENE JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE!

It was a literal sex scene jumpscare.

Hmmmmmmm. I wonder if the Union, the guys who committed mass Terrorist actions, make machines that are over the topply evil, and took over the world, are the good guys.

Yasamin is the only character making sense in this damn show.

"They were so peaceful!" NO THEY WEREN'T! WE SAW GROUPS OF PEOPLE COMMITING SUICIDE! THERE IS NO RELIGION ON THE PLANET THAT ENDORSES IT!

HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN FROM A RELIGION FUSION DANCE ANYWAY?!

Cammie girl, lass, my sister in christ….YOU LITERALLY CHANGED YOUR PERSONALITY! WHY CAN'T KAZU DO THE SAME!

Whose idea was it to throw in all the sex stuff?????? It's not gritty or gross or whatever, IT'S JUST BIZARRE!

Also, why did nobody mention this climate crisis in Season 1?

Also, are they trying to make the Union look like a cult, because that's what it looks like to me.

This shallow samurai shit made to crap on old school anime is actually crapping on bad modern anime.

No seriously, this roboshogun stuff makes me cringe so hard.

It's trying to mock old mecha anime like Gundam and the like, but instead it's giving me the vibe of a bad high-school anime that came out in the early 2010's.

Also, this might just be a me thing, but this attempt to jump around the timeline is really annoying. Just transition to one story and say their happening at the same time, yesh.

Toxic masculinity stuff. I am totally tapped out on this.

Another JumpSex. That's my new nickname for it.

AND WHY IS THIS BEING SHOW WITH INTERCUTS TO CHASE'S ACTUALLY INTERESTING STUFF.

"See how the Polity wars!" I do see……it is significantly better than how you guys do it

Wow…..Cammie is kind of a brat.

Wow. This making the polity bad shit is annoying.

And of course……Kazu's dead.

Who the fuck kills off a character after their arc just finished?!

Like……..narratively what does this accomplish????? And no 'showing the hardship of war' is not a good reason.

All this 'grey on grey morality ' shit has done is make me hate all the characters.

Except for Kazu and Yasamin…….and they killed the former. And the latter I only like because she is the only one calling out everyone's bullshit.

And now I have to listen to Marin try and justify fascism.

MAYBE TURN OFF THE SCREAMING HEADS WHEN PRESENTING YOUR SELL'S PITCH!

'Like my old one, but different' I want to throw a dictionary at your head.

This Chase corruption plot is actually cool and interesting, a shame it's not the actual focus of this damn season.

They're trying way too hard to portray the 'Flow' as a good thing.

"Man, this roboshogun thing is so graphic!"

Why are you people affected by a 2D cartoon with blood in it when you've seen a bunch of corpses.

Also, mandatory joke about how 3D characters see live action shows and that kinda thing.

Ew……just ew.

Marin is trying to stop a cult from ruling the world and everyone is trying to stop her 'evul' plan.

I hate well intentioned extremists Union. I hate it so much.

I love mechanic dude and I can never remember his name.

I have to say the LowTierGod cinematic universe is turning out to be extremely lame so far.

I praised RWBY Vol9 when It did this thing, but I think this show makes that stuff worst in hindsight.

Also, why is Cammie's model look so weird????

Does…..typo

WAITAMINUTE! YOU MEAN THE EVIL CULT WHO TRIES TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD IS EVIL?!

God, the ceo mech is so ugly

I haven't mentioned this, but man this show is so much uglier now

I actually really like the Chase plot, it's just a shame that it's buried in so much crap.

Oh my god, the last episode, I'm almost done here.

I'm all burnt out on this show. I'm just gonna point out what's funny from now.

YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF NOW!-The Ultimate Message of Gen:Lock

I love this dumb fucking ai thing so much.

God, at times the dialogue is so fucking bad.

God, I hate Sinclair so bad.

Also, the body horror is so lame.

Lmao! This beast thing was made out to be so big and might and yet it's so small next to the skyscrapers.

That's it? That's the climax???????????? WHAT?!

THAT'S THE CLIMAX?! THAT WAS SO ANTI CLIMATIC WHAT THE HELL!

Also, Genlock's message…..it's proud theme?!

What did Chase's sister do to get to New York exactly????

I'm gonna fucking scream.

That's it? THAT'S IT?!

Fuck this 2nd season!

Fuck the higher ups for abusing the staff!

Fuck the pornbots who keep liking this thread!

IM DONE!

I did this whole ass thread and I appreciate absolutely none of it.

On the plus side, I can feel the left side of my face again….mostly.

'Edge of Tomorrow' --A Review

I have heard great things about this movie for a long time and I think I feel safe to say that it's generally thought out of as one of Tom Cruise's best movies full stop and I might be inclined to agree with that assessment. It's also so refreshing to see a science fiction movie that while it's based a Japanese light novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, it's not based on a video game or some other already existing franchise that a studio is milking every last drop of value out of. As a result (even though I am woefully ignorant about manga, light novels and anime in general, so it could have quite the franchise going in Japan), this feels right off the bat, extremely fresh and original.

In 2015, aliens called 'Mimics' arrive via asteroid in central Europe and quickly overrun most of the continent. The world quickly forges a global military alliance to fight the alien incursion- the United Defense Force (UDF) and finally gets a victory at Verdun five years later in 2020 thanks to newly developed mech-suits.

The movie opens with the UDF planning a massive invasion of France and General Brigham (Brenden Gleeson) orders Press Affairs Officer Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) to go the front to cover it. Cage has no combat experience whatsoever and has no intention of going anywhere near actual combat and tries clumsily to blackmail the General and blame him if the invasion fails. For his troubles, Brigham has Cage arrested, demoted and shipped off to the front where he's labelled a deserter and assigned to Master Sergeant Farell (Bill Paxton) and the misfits of J-Squad who all hate and belittle him.

On the morning of the invasion, it seems the Mimics knew they were coming and J-Squad is quickly ambushed and cut to pieces-- Cage uses a mine to kill a large blue one, but is wounded by the explosion and covered in the aliens blood and he then dies.

But, he wakes up back on the morning of the invasion and tries to warn J-Squad about what's coming, but no one believes him. Loop after loop happens and gradually, Cage becomes better at combat and he spots and tries to save the hero of Verdun, Sergeant Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt) she realizes that he can loop time and orders him to find her when he wakes up.

Together the two of them figure out what needs to be done: the blood is what causes the ability to loop time, but the Mimics are being controlled by an Omega that's hidden somewhere and if they can destroy that, they can destroy the Mimics once and for all. After many, many time loops and deaths and resets, they locate the Omega- but not before Cage is stripped of his ability to reset time and the last chance attempt at once final reset is for the highest of stakes.

Overall: Who doesn't love a good mech suit? Honestly, this might be the best use of mech suits since Sigourney Weaver did her "get your hands of her you bitch" thing way back in Aliens-- (you can't really call them giant mechas like in Pacific Rim, but my familiarity with the ins and outs of Kaiju, mecha, etc. is limited). Love the alien invasion aspect of this movie. The combat scene are excellent and made even more excellent by the mecha suits everyone uses.

I like Star Trek, so I'm a bit dubious about time loops as a concept, because Trek can overuse them sometimes, but in this case, it works- and I think what makes it work so well is that they die and that's what causes the reset. In that, there's a parallel to the way video games works.

I love that this is a fairly simple concept: they keep repeating time until they can figure out how to kill the Omega and end the war. They get bad ass at mecha-suit combat and become really really good at killing aliens. The filmmakers don't even try to get cute with the alien invasion-- why reinvent the wheel when humanity has launched massive invasions of Europe before and you can draw on that imagery real easy (because there are some very obvious parallels to D-Day).

The cast is excellent. Bill Paxton is awesome in just about anything he does, but I like that Tom Cruise is kind of a little weasel at first- trying to get out of combat duty by blackmailing the General means his character is kind of running against type, which I sort of dug. Emily Blunt is excellent and could definitely pull off more action/sci-fi movies if she wanted too.

Best part of all about this movie: I don't think there was an obvious set-up for a sequel, which is so nice and refreshing. This (as of right now) appears to be a 'one and done' movie, which I love. Not everything needs a sequel, after all and I love that instead of laying down the foundation for a franchise, they focused on making the best movie possible instead, because they succeeded. My Grade: **** out of ****

[rawmeknockout]

Lost Light crew reacting to a mech (reader) having a flashback, assuming said mech did not previously disclose that they’ve been abused by their conjunx in the past? I know it’s a bit angst-y but my traumatized ass would love it if you wrote on this

//im not usually comfortable with like,,, abuse-centered stuff bc i think it is a pretty far reaching thing that doesnt even primarily take the form of violence and just feels like a 'mundanity' that seeps into all aspects of life (which is hard to portray in little snippets tbh) but this idea was just calling to me for some reason; btw only did a few bc these are long and id rather explore this in a reader-central fic than in headcanons//

rodimus

when your ex captain’s ship crosses paths with the lost light, he really doesn’t think anything of it. his crew sees horrible old acquaintances all the time in their journey. it’s only until later that rodimus thinks this time is different. youre not filling him in on what's wrong and continue to brush aside his worry, but your old captain is already making their way on board to greet him and rodimus has to play polite. your old captain seems like a decent guy, and he's clearly admired by his crew. sometimes personal issues turn sour, so, although he doesnt like that tense, twisted look on your face and the way your optics focus on the boarding dock with an intensity he's never seen, rodimus believes it should be fine for now.

he pesters you later to know what's wrong, cause he's a nosy sort of friend, and when he finds out(whether from you or someone in the know), Rodimus insists that the crew has to slaughter this guy. Magnus has to step in to stop rodimus from starting a fight.

even afterwards, you continue to insist that what happened was in the past and not that big enough of a deal to do anything. he feels a nagging in his processor. that he should have done something, although he draws a blank when its not about punching someone or yelling them down.

tailgate

as someone more perceptive than he lets on, tailgate gets a feel that something is wrong when he asks you what it was like to be part of that other crew. you give some vague response and leave it at that, clearly very distracted by something, but he figures maybe you just don't like your old captain as a person. it seems a lot of higher up autobots tend to say one thing and do another, making them not all theyre cracked up to be.

he's not good with words so he just gets furious when he finds out your past. he’s ready to fight and also torment and also eviscerate. yeah maybe sometimes he bullies you or pranks you but that’s a privilege reserved for tailgate and tailgate specifically! an absolute bastard of maximum proportions. i’m not just talking about fist fighting he’s cooking up plans for murder.

in the end, tailgate doesn't exactly have the best way of comforting you. he's never dealt with this sort of thing and telling you that he'll keep you safe seems to fall flat when he actually voices it.

chromedome

you two aren't particularly close before this, so chromedome is much too focused on his day-to-day tasks to bother with a visiting crew they can exchange supplies/maps with. that is until rewind gives him the scoop about what seems to have gone down on the bridge today regarding rodimus and the other captain. chromedome is really only half listening, rodimus is known to get pretty violently jealous, until rewind gets to the part about your old captain potentially being 'rough' with his crewmates.

he knows a thing or two about shitty exes. he figures your situation is much different from his own until you confirm that you did, in fact, date your old captain. you two are more alike than he realized. it's hard to be around someone you trusted after they took advantage of you, using their proximity to hurt you, but it seems unlike him you can't shake your ex. whereas chromedome can just leave cybertron to escape, your ex is in a position where he can keep tabs on you and it's not exactly weird. he finds himself much more protective of you, especially if magnus and megatron don't let the lost light beat up your ex.

he'll just have to make up for that on his own time.

TFP If You Ship...

Ultra Magnus

I would also like to warn yall, I do roast the shit outta these ships and you. Some of y'all are nasty and need to be told/reminded, and some of you need to stay far the fuck away from me. Aight? Aight lets begin.

MagOp/OpMag/Magnimus/ Ultra Magnus x Optimus Prime: You pretentious bitch. You absolute fucking- I have no fucking words to describe how beige you are. You 're personality is plain oatmeal. Message me. I want to beat your ass. You prolly like them for the fact that they can relate to each other, and because of their importance to the war. But I hate you cause you also have more content. Fuck you. May your cereal turn soggy before you can eat that shit, may your drawing tablet get so hot in that one corner that you can fry bacon on that bitch. Fuck you.

MagMeg/Magatron(ew)/ Ultra Magnus x Megatron: you eat mayonnaise with a fucking spoon. Y'all saw that one scene with them on Darkmount and was just like "hm, but what if fuck?" and ran with it. You went to Ao3 expecting kinky shit, but all you got was stuff for IDW Megs and Mags and honestly baby, its gon' be okay.

Matchet/Ragus?/ Ultra Magnus x Ratchet: Yes we get it, the old man can dom now shut the fuck up. If taking your S/O to the nursing home as a date was a ship it'd be these old crotchety ass bitches. But, but, on a more serious note this ship can be so therapeutic for both mechs. These two were there way before the start of the war, they lived through it, and they knew Optimus all throughout. I imagine Ratchet would tell Magnus about Orion before his ascension to the primacy. I ain't ever been more depressed scrolling through a tag though, y'all broke bitches need whatever the fuck UltraScreen is having.

Magbee/Ultra Bumble/Ultra Magnus x Bee: I ain't ever seen two same heighted Cybertronians in a relationship, always one of'em gotta be spike suckin' height.

UltraJack/ Ultra Magnus x Wheeljack: Listen, listen, both these mechs love their solitary time and it can create so much angst, SO MUCH. Magnus feeling he must uphold his duties and Wheeljack having a mindset similar to a pirate. His spark belongs to the stars AND Magnus, but the stars will always come first. But bitch this is Ultra Magnus. We horny. We know Wheeljack is a fucking brat, and Ultra Magnus is his Dom.... baby we nasty. We nasty and there is no fucking denying that shit my GOD.

Ultrabulk/ Ultra Magnus x Bulkhead: Listen man as crazy as this might sound, I think this could work. Just like any other ship with Bulkhead you are fucking STRUGGLING though dude, you got like 5 fics you keep coming back to. You cry at night, knowing, and praying, that the gods will smile upon you and bless you with an update. You know you struggling when you only got three fics that have this ship as the focus. If y'all ban together I'm sure you can scrounge together like three pieces of fanart and a lint roller between the four of you.

UltraScream/ Ultra Magnus x Starscream: I don't see how anyone could hate this ship. Like, they literally work as really good foils to each other. You've got Magnus who is loyal as fuck, very militaristic??? And very much involved with the safety of his team. He's described as recklessly brave. Starscream on the other hand has a lot of character to work on and Magnus could help him along with that, and he can teach Magnus self preser- fucking-vation because Mr. "gets fucking chomped by a predacon for another bitchass Autobot" needs it. You're fuckass wants someone to save you, or you want to go absolutely apeshit. You are the mom friend everyone is worried about.

Ultracee/ Ultra Magnus x Arcee: Huh?? I mean like....Okaaaayy?? I mean good for you. This ship makes me feel the way that you feel when someone offers you candy you don't like, but you wouldn't mind eating it so you do. To be honest the people who ship this definitely see diamonds in places others wouldn't expect, but like you're so fucking unnessecary oh my god. Like you prolly add weird ass comments to other peoples statements, ain't nobody out here asking for an echo. Sit down.

UltraShock: ya like'em thicc don't you commanding officer Ultra Magnus? Anyway maybe y'all could team up with UltraBulk shippers and add a pile of used soda cans to the pile. Y'all are ghosts, do you even exist on this plane. My guesstimate on how many people actually ship this forreal is like 5.

Ultrawave/MagnusSound/Magnus x Soundwave: Listen if the Ultrabulk shippers are starving y'all ain't even corporeal. I show up to this ship with a fucking ghost talk box and some heat sensors, and like one boombox tryna see if GHOSTS even inhabit this bitch. Y'all aight? Are y'all good?? HELLO IN THERE (hello in there) (hello in there). Yall really go all out for the goth shit. Prolly hidin' in the shadows of my house waiting to strike.

Ultrascreen:

You, and I mean this in the most (derogatory) way possible, are a fucking

HOE

Literally looked on AO3 saw nearly NOTHING BUT kinky MF PORN. The oooonly plot y'all got is exactly how long Ultra Magnus can deny Smokescreen an overload. Why every time it comes to Magnus people make this by the books vanilla bitch the kinkiest one. YES I love subverting expectations but can I PLEASE get one fic where he sputters because his partner says a bad word. These two are the main ones who get this treatment, and baby I ain't complaining, but please. Please just- please sir I-I a-ah!

Ultradown: The UltraBulk, and UltraWave shippers come here every year, at the exact same location, at the exact same time, all for this ritual. The UltraWave shippers take out a boombox, some energon candies, and a supersized Cybertronian false spike. The UltraBulkers begin to sing the incantation to summon their fallen comrade: https://youtu.be/m9We2XsVZfc. They must do this once every year, they must battle the UltraDown shippers, though most would say they are a myth, the UltraShock and UltraWave shippers know better.

MagnusOut/KnockMagnusOut?/Ultra Knockout: Listen its not as horny as Smokescreen but the constant tension is definitely there. Knockout is just as horny as the depressed, RE-pressed ass Magnus fans and can you really blame him? Boyfriend? Dead. Magnus? kinky. Hotel? California.

/If I missed any let my gay ass know. Sorry if this ones lackluster, but some of these ships don't even really seem to have a fanbase?? Remember that these are TFP ships y'all.

Also I better see more Bulkhead content after this. Do you all have a problem with truly thicc bootyful babes or what?

[ID a screenshot of the transcript of episode 44 of dungeons and daddies

Will: The problem with doing just Ron draws any other card is there's way worse cards than Donjon in the deck.

Beth: There are?

Will: Ron can draw—  

Freddie: Yeah, because Ron drew two cards.

Will: Yeah, there's the one—  

Anthony: There's Void, which is very similar, in terms of like...

Will: Yes, there's another card essentially exactly like it, and then there's also the card where he has to fight Death and stuff like that, so the...

Matt: I mean, fighting death is probably better.

Beth: I mean, yeah, I could take Death.

Will: Not really.

End ID]

Re reading the deck picks transcript and its absolutly hilarious that theyre talking abt the worse cards that there are to pick than donjon and mention the void and the death one, both of which glenn picks. Just really funny.

Also:

[ID another 2 screenshots from dungeons and daddies episode 44

Freddie: I level up, right?

Will: I'm hoping Glenn gets the card that changes your alignment so we can have a fucking good, morally non-reprehensible Glenn on the...

Matt: [laughing] I hope Glenn kills a squirrel and then instantly gets zapped to another dimension. That's what I hope.

Freddie: I level up, right?

Anthony: You've leveled up, you're level 10.

Matt: Yes, you level up.

Will: You level up, big boy. Congratulations.

Freddie: Yo, I'm level 10 now, y'all!

Will: Oh my God.

The second image

Freddie: This is the best possible outcome!

Beth: Okay.

Anthony: While you're dealing with that, Glenn—  

Freddie: You guys do your thing, I'm just going to tune all of my new-ass spells and shit that I get. This is going to be awesome.

Anthony: All right, Ron is next.

Beth: Okay.

Anthony: Ron, what did you draw?

Beth: I need to get my... I need to get my...

Will: Oh God, I'm so nervous. I didn't care if fucking Glenn got yeeted into the void. [breaks into a laugh]

[laughter]

Matt: This is true

Beth: Well, before I draw, I need some courage to...

End ID]

I just think it's so funny. That they're like we dont care if glenn gets thrown to the void or whatever and then that exactly happened.

Its peak comedy. Glenn levels up three times, gets a giant crab mech, has to fight death, pulls the void that send his soul away so he doesn't have to fight death. It's truly so wild that this was all random picks and not scripted in any way. Literally the most thing ever.

These were the cards they picked btw:

Ron pulled donjon and 1 unknown card.

Mr moustache/scam likely pulled the fates and balance.

Henry pulled the rogue, the moon and the star.

Glenn pulled comet, sun, skull and void.

[bngbby-aa]

- * Why KnockOut is secretly a badass and we should all put some more respect on his name. 

Let’s start with KnockOut arriving on the Nemesis. It is implied Starscream has specifically called for KnockOut, a Decepticon Doctor, to tend to Megatron. KnockOut suggests a “laboratory assist” is the reason he was called. Leading me to believe he thought he was called for scientific reasons, and not medical. At the very least suggesting KnockOut to be a skilled scientist if there is a possibility for Megatron to call him by name for such.

Now we do know KnockOut was called for medical reasons, or really more miracle reasons because Megatron is in awful shape to put it lightly. Starscream having an ulterior motive is possible here, and very in character. ( Obviously he suggests to KnockOut that the two of them should take over. ) The presence of Soundwave on the Nemesis makes things a little more complicated than Starscream just calling a shoddy doctor to ensure Megatron dies.

The conclusions I can draw from this are; Starscream and Soundwave both recognize KnockOut as a capable Doctor. Soundwave throughout the aligned material is very loyal to Megatron, and highly unlikely to settle for a Doctor he did not think able to help Megatron. Now as for Starscream suggesting KnockOut to become his second-in-command, to me shows Starscream sees him as more than just an able doctor. He thinks KnockOut is specifically capable of helping him run the Decepticons. This could just be for convenience’s sake, but Starscream is clearly shown to have done just fine running the Nemesis on his own in Megatron’s long absence pre-show.

Starscream, despite his many flaws, is shown to be incredibly intelligent and very cunning. He’s also shown to have been a strong leader in Megatron’s absence. To ask KnockOut to assist him is not something he would ask without good consideration. Starscream would have thought it through, and that means he believes KnockOut to be a capable lieutenant.  

Now let’s continue on to my favorite part in this episode, where KnockOut blatantly flirts with Optimus Prime and proceeds to kick his ass.

Now Breakdown clearly is an asset to him at this moment. The two clearly work well together. We know that KnockOut is the one in charge, however, as he leads the charge and even signals Breakdown. This at the very least shows him as being a capable commander.

Breakdown is a distraction here. KnockOut is the one who not only incapacitates Optimus, but keeps him down.

We know from later on in the show that KnockOut is very survival oriented, quick to run from a fight that’s looking unfavorable. (or one that might scratch his paint.) Yet he actively goes after, and attacks Optimus Prime. A mech who is on par with Megatron. We will also see that this is not the only time KnockOut actively chooses to target Optimus.

It would be highly out of character for him to so enthusiastically go against an opponent where he felt he was out-matched. It’s Breakdown knocking Bulkhead into KnockOut that turns this fight into the Autobot’s favor. It gives Optimus the time to begin to recover, and we even see KnockOut charge back in with an attempt to subdue Optimus once more.

I feel this clearly shows KnockOut having a good deal of confidence in his abilities. Not overly-cocky confidence that he doesn’t deserve, but the kind that comes from truly knowing his skill in combat.

Later in this episode when team Prime comes to save Bulkhead, KnockOut makes the call to get out of there instead of fighting. Honestly to me KnockOut sounds bored as all hell when he makes the call. He doesn’t care anymore, and he isn’t in a good position. He knows it’s an unfavorable fight at the moment, and decides “I don’t care enough anymore.”

Taking a quick pause from KnockOut Bullying Optimus. Megatron seems to show some amount of respect for KnockOut as well. While he is the only medic on the Nemesis, Megatron seems to put a lot of faith into KnockOut, something that even with his questionable dark-energon riddled judgment is no light matter. Even ordering him to fix Soundwave’s cracked mask at some point. Also trusting him to attach a dead prime’s arm onto him. Things were it seems even KnockOut takes pause and is unsure, but we seem him succeed in both cases. (though the matter of Soundwave’s visor may have been more of him being creeped out but the the mech.)

Back to KnockOut disrespecting Optimus like it’s his job.

It took me way too long to hunt down this particular scene. In the opening of T.M.I we once again see KnockOut going up against the one and only Optimus Prime. The fight does end with Optimus picking KnockOut up and tossing him like a ragdoll, but KnockOut is clearly shown holding out his own despite fighting quite lazily.

It could be described as him just not being a good fighter, but KnockOut does get in a good dodge in the few seconds we see him fighting. It more comes off as him just not caring that much. Less concerned about beating Optimus, and more just well… probably not his paintjob as he clearly uses a high kick during the fight.

It reads to me as less intent to beat Optimus and more just to keep him busy.

Again, KnockOut doesn’t seem like a character who’d go up against Optimus 1v1 without feeling like he could hold his own. They easily could have added in a Vehicon or even Breakdown assisting KnockOut here, but instead he’s just going up against Optimus on his own. 

Moving on from the show for right now. The DS game, yes the DS game. If you know about it, the only thing you probably remember is KnockOut driving right off the Nemesis while fighting with Bumblebee. A link to that video here.

(On a side note can we just appreciate the massive leaps he takes in not only this scene but the whole game? KnockOut really said “Gravity who?”)

Now KnockOut driving right off the Nemesis is funny as all hell, but I’d like to focus on how the developers used KnockOut as an enemy. A place where he could shine a little brighter without the rules of a Transformers cartoon holding him down as much.

Even before I found out about the game and played it, I had in mind something very similar to how he is in the game. KnockOut moves around a lot in his fights, making him a harder target to hit. Utilizing both his alt-mode and root-mode during the fights. KnockOut dashes in quickly to apply damage and pressure, before transforming and putting distance between him and bumblebee (who you are playing as during the fight.) The game also shows him as having blasters while in his alt-form that he can use to maintain that distance he’s created, until he’s ready to ram his opponent down again before transforming and using his claws to attack in a quick frenzy.

I personally found KnockOut to be a difficult and frustrating opponent in this game. It showcases a lot of what I felt KnockOut should be able to do in a fight.

Now I’m sure there’s so much more I could find combing the show, and in the future when I sit down for a proper rewatch I probably will. There is also a lot of good examples in the IDW comics, which I’d love to get into but I really wanted to focus on the show right now. I will be stopping here to add my final thoughts and how some of the observations have shaped my idea of KnockOut.

KnockOut is clearly a skilled scientist, and doctor. A fact acknowledged even by Megatron despite how often KnockOut appears to Vex his leader. He also mentions being better at breaking mechs than fixing them, and I one hundred percent believe this. So KnockOut is only as good a doctor as he is a fighter ( and um probably torturer but let’s save that for another time.)

During the show I believe we are shown KnockOut at his most unimpressive. We see a mech who’s been called to earth for a war in its closing days, a war that’s dragged on for an unbelievable amount of time. Before this, it seems KnockOut and Breakdown were just vibing. Doing whatever they wanted.

KnockOut often mentions being on the winning team, and that’s why he’s with the Decepticons. Throughout the show, he very much comes across as self-serving. Only there because it benefits him. He’s not truly a Decepticon, and we see that by the fact he and Breakdown don’t wear the badge. At spark he’s a neutral. Even before the movie, I knew it was in his character to switch sides if it were to benefit him. I have many personal headcanons as to why he is more neutral-aligned but these are all from my own world-buildng. We aren’t given a reason in the show, but it’s very obvious his loyalty is out of convenience. 

By law of the show, the autobots must win. They’re the “good guys”, the main characters. So KnockOut has to fail ultimately, but even then we see bits of him shining through that. He takes down Optimus with his cunning, and isn’t afraid to go up against him in a fight. KnockOut performs several surgeries through the show that are down right mad science, and highly questionable.

What he does is still impressive, but it comes off as him doing bare minimum. Just doing what he has to do to show up and be a good Decepticon. KnockOut is bored, and he’s not trying his hardest. Simply amusing himself, and since he got called there he may as well take the chance to get a nice promotion.

Dreaming Of You

Rough, grey lips on his, large servos resting on his hips, and ruby red optics trained on his sky blue ones seemed to haunt Optimus’s dreams more and more.

Maybe it was some weird manifestation of the new stress that had come to his life since Megatron had been rebuilt, or maybe it was just the deep, dark desires he had for the affection he’d been craving for so many light years finally taking over his processor and giving themselves away to him in the form of Megatron of all mechs.

Either way, he hated it; the dreams. They were too risque and too much about a Decepticon he should’ve absolutely despised for him to confide in any of his teammates about it, but they were too incessant to get rid of, so he was simply... Stuck.

Optimus was sure that he was dying inside when he jolted awake on the living room couch, sitting straight up as his optics shot open. This dream had been particularly bad; something blurry about him and Megatron sharing a berth, him tangled up in the warlord’s arms and falling asleep against his chest.

Weirdly enough, he found himself craving that.

Due to the sheer everything happening on planet earth, he had been so stressed that he hadn’t been able to recharge properly, and all he wanted was another bot to lull him to sleep, maybe cuddle with him a bit and sing to him or tell him a story, but he didn’t have anyone like that, humans were too small and hard to socialize with, and his team was off limits since they were technically subordinates.

He hadn’t even realized he’d fallen asleep on the couch until he woke up there, clearly panicked until his optics landed on Bumblebee, who was staring at him with a concerned look etched into his face plates.

Optimus knew that, considering the dream he just had, he probably looked like he’d seen a ghost- though that probably would’ve been better than what actually happened. Falling asleep on the couch had most definitely been a result of his exhaustion, because all he remembered was that one second, he was sitting on the couch to calm down, and the next, he was asleep.

”Optimus? Bossbot? Prime? You good?” Bumblebee asked, getting up and in Optimus’s face. The red and blue bot could only stand up and shake his head.

”Uh... Yeah. Definitely... Just don’t think I’ll be recharging for a while-” After realizing what he said, he quickly cut himself off with a sharp sigh before continuing again. “Never mind. I’m going on a walk.”

With that, Optimus left, ignoring any of the stares he got from his teammates as he walked outside the base, and walked, and walked. He didn’t even think about where he was going, simply listening to his instincts and allowing them to guide him. 

The walk had been intended to clear his head, but as he reached a weirdly familiar looking forest, he realized that his thoughts were only growing more and more convoluted, spark pounding against his chest plates.

Oh, shit. He was right by the Decepticon base.

Why would his processor- no, his spark, he could feel it- lead him here of all places? What the hell was wrong with him? He was almost certain that his exhaustion was making him go crazy.

Right when he thought the situation couldn’t get any worse, he heard a deep, smooth, baritone voice in his audials that made them twitch.

“Autobot... How did you find me?” When Optimus turned around, Megatron was just... There. Sitting on the grass, back against a tree, arms crossed over his chest and one leg crossed over the other in front of him. “Why are you not fighting me?”

That was a good question. Megatron was just staring at him, too, clearly waiting, ruby burning into sky blue, almost as if the Decepticon was challenging him with his optics, a smirk on his kissable lips. Optimus knew he should’ve either ran or tried to apprehend Megatron right there, but he found that he couldn’t even move.

Their relationship was weird. Even though they were sworn enemies, all Optimus could do during battle was stare at him, and Megatron did the same in return- it was almost as if there was some sort of draw that they had to each other, but as hard as he tried to resist it, it wouldn’t go away, and he was sick of resisting it.

“Megatron.”

“I feel as if I should be concerned,” Megatron mumbled, sitting up again and quirking an optical ridge. “You aren’t fighting me, but I also don’t feel inclined to attack you, and you seem exhausted... Do you need to recharge? I’ll be surprised if you don’t drop to the ground any nanoklik now.”

“Mhm,” Was all Optimus could give in response, able to feel himself grow increasingly drowsy with each second that passed. Megatron’s voice only made it worse, and before he even realized what he was doing, Optimus found himself laying on the ground next to Megatron and laying his head over the warlord’s warm thighs, optics fluttering shut.

It was wrong, and he was sure it would come to bite him in the ass, but it was also exactly what he needed. 

“What the hell... Alright. This is fine, I suppose, we can do this and then pretend it never happened... Just for a little while,” Megatron sighed and rested a servo on Optimus’s helm, gently petting one of the Autobot’s audials, and though it was a touch far more intimate than it should’ve been, he couldn’t help how his engines purred at the affection he’d been craving from another since he arrived on earth. “I could even tell you a story. Once upon a time, on a planet far away, there was a strong, powerful warlord with a cold spark, but that all changes when...”

And, as Optimus fell into recharge, he found that the last thing he heard was Megatron’s voice in his audials, lulling him to sleep- just like he needed.

When Optimus Prime woke up, he was no longer laying on the ground of the forest with his head rested across the expanse of Megatron’s thick thighs, but on the berth in Ratchet’s med bay, the team medic hovering around him, optics raking up and down his chassis.

All he could remember was sleeping on Megatron, but if he was in the med bay-

Optics wide, the Prime looked at himself up and down. No bandages, no wounds, no pain anywhere... Actually, he felt perfectly fine minus the lingering sleepiness, so why was he here?

“Prime, what happened?” Ratchet demanded, sitting down at the stool next to the med berth and scrutinizing Optimus carefully.

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“You stormed off base and everyone was concerned when you didn’t come back after a few hours, so we split into teams and came looking for you. I found you in that forest near the Decepticon base a day later, sleeping on Megatron of all mechs,” A day. He’d slept for an entire day, and his teammates had caught him... He could only hope and pray that they didn’t realize exactly what was going on with him. “So what happened? Did he incapacitate you or did you do it... Willingly? You were out for a while.”

“I uh... I don’t know how to describe it,” Optimus murmured, not wanting to admit that it was fully optional and that he’d given in to his newfound desire to have Megatron, if only for a little bit. “I was just so tired when I left. I don’t know... Don’t remember anything too clearly, I probably stayed in recharge for so long because I was exhausted. Actually, I still feel pretty tired, but is everyone okay? Did anything else happen?”

“Yeah, they’re fine. Megatron left as soon as he saw us, the cowardly dolt... It was weird though, that he didn’t kidnap you or try to attack any of us- you were asleep, and it was just me and Sari, so he could’ve overpowered us if he played his cards right. Maybe he was in a rush to get somewhere else.”

“Makes sense.”

And no, it didn’t make sense- nothing Megatron had done during the course of that made sense; not him being so kind to Optimus, letting him sleep on his lap, telling him a berthtime story, and sparing his teammates- all of it was weird and fucked up, and he found that he almost missed when things were simpler, when Megatron was nothing but a blown up body and a half-working helm in Isaac Sumdac’s basement-lab.

“I doubt that it’s anything serious, but I have a couple questions for you, if you wouldn’t mind.”

“Go ahead,” Optimus tried to act calm, but his face plates were burning red and his vents were producing nervous crackles that were loud enough for both he and Ratchet to hear.

“Have you had any odd dreams recently during your recharges? Since Megatron got his body rebuilt, I mean.”

“Uh... Yeah,” The blue and red bot trailed off, gulping.

How did Ratchet know? Was he that obvious?

“Tell me about them.”

“I’d rather not-”

“Trust me, it’s important that I know these things. Medic’s honor, I won’t disclose what you’re about to tell me to anyone.”

“I have a lot of dreams about Megatron,” Optimus confessed with a sigh. Surprisingly, Ratchet looked like he was almost expecting that answer, nodding. “Mostly just meeting him in that forest or a berth, sleeping... Sometimes we talk and do other more unmentionable things.”

“I wonder...” The medic paused with a hum and tapped his digits against the med berth.

“Just what are you thinking, Ratchet?”

“It’s incredibly rare, but occasionally, when two Cybertronians who have a lot of chemistry encounter each other, they develop what’s known as a spark pull. It’s nothing like a spark bond- not even close, but it just means that the two are uniquely bound to each other in a way until they either bond or have a falling out that kills their chemistry. It’s like the soulmate concept that Sari and some of the other humans talk about in their romantic stories.”

“So... What does that mean? Am I going to be okay? Is there anything I can do to get rid of it?” Optimus asked, tilting his head. He was a bit panicked, as this was a whole new thing that he didn’t know how to handle, but at least there was a somewhat scientific explanation for his feelings instead of them just existing. 

“There’s no need to worry about it, Prime, you’re perfectly healthy minus the lack of rest you get- which you need to work on, by the way- but you’ll be fine. Unless you bond with Megatron- you better not- there’s no getting rid of it, considering that the two of you should already hate each other.”

“I, um... Symptoms? Are there any aside from what I already know?”

“There hasn’t been a lot of research done on it since bonding is generally looked down upon in Autobot City where all of our medical studies get funded on Cybertron, but from what I’ve seen and heard... You’ll intuitively be able to ‘feel’ where Megatron is when he’s in close proximity, have a desire to go near and look at him whenever possible, have dreams about him like you’ve already been experiencing, and going through a sort of physical and mental ‘weakness’ when he’s around- from what you’ve described, your weakness is just allowing yourself to be vulnerable and relaxed around him, which is actually quite common... Shame you can’t allow yourself to do that with who he is, but it is what it is.”

It was a lot to take in all at once, but Optimus found that he handled it surprisingly well as he stood up from the med berth and stretched his joints.

“Anything else I should know?” 

There was something new lighting his spark; a pounding, circuit-wrenching want that began to consume him. Now that he knew where his feelings were stemming from, he couldn’t help but want to interact with Megatron again, just to see if the older mech was feeling what he was feeling, and to see if he knew what was going on between the two of them as well.

His instinct was telling him to go back to the forest.

“No, that about covers it, so you’re free to go whenever... But Prime?”

“Yeah?” The blue and red bot looked at Ratchet, who was staring right into his spark, it seemed.

“Don’t go after him when you leave. I know you want to.”

“...Okay.”

Only, that’s exactly what Optimus did. The second he was out of the med bay, he was sneaking out through one of the hallway windows and running as if his life depended on it, passing through the busy city scenery of Detroit until he reached the more rural area that the forest was located in. He was staring at the ground as he ran so fast that his engines were revving with the force it took to keep him going, but he got so consumed in where his spark was telling him to go that  he bumped into someone-

“Be more careful, you insolent f-...” Megatron’s voice flooded his audials the second that the older mech’s arms were wrapped around his small body to catch him, pulling him against a hard, broad chest. Optimus looked up at the warlord, optics going wide and face burning bright red. Oh, it’s just you, little Autobot... How did you find me again?”

Megatron’s question was filled with confusion, those ruby red optics slightly squinted and full of uncertainty.

“I, uh... Do you know what spark pulls are?” Optimus stammered and earned a groan from the Decepticon in return.

“You’re kidding.”

“I wish I were, but no one else is here and that nap last time was the best recharge I’ve had in lightyears. Do you mind?”

“...I suppose not,” Megatron sighed and let go of Optimus, then moved to lay down on the grass and stare up at the clouds. Optimus, albeit a bit awkwardly, laid down next to the mech, resting his helm on his chest- right over the purple, glaring Decepticon symbol that he should’ve detested, but instead found himself cuddling into.

“Why don’t you finish that story you started the other day?”

“A-Alright, but only because I’m feeling quite generous today. As I’d been saying last time, once upon a time, on a planet far away, there was a strong, powerful warlord with a cold spark, but that all changes when he meets a kind, passionate warrior from an opposing faction. At first, the two are against each other, but the warlord quickly realizes that something about the warrior has caught his interest, and before he knows it, he’s falling in love...”

Before Optimus could pipe up and ask any questions, he was falling into a peaceful recharge yet again, dreams of Megatron already plaguing his processor.
