#i had to choose the transformers

[transingthoseformers]

would you rather have dinosaurs or Transformers actually exist in the world today?

This was a very difficult choice, but I eventually decided (with a heavy heart) the non-avian dinosaurs had their chance, and that the implications of aliens being real and here too enormous for me to pass up

Into this:

How do toy designers come up with this stuff anyway??????

Little idle thought I've been having recently but I think Cyparissus' story is very important for characterising Apollo and Apollo's love. It's so easy to think of love and loss as two ends of a spectrum, likewise, so often, death is seen as an ultimate and tragic end in love stories - something final and inescapably tragic, the only force that halts love by separating the lovers.

Cyparissus' story is... not that. Yes, the deer dies and one can conclude then that death is once more at the heart of separating two lovers, but I think Cyparissus specifically requesting to die, specifically begging Apollo to let him grieve forever even after Apollo has done his best to help Cyparissus move on from the accident and Apollo letting him is a powerful thing.

Because Apollo not only puts Cyparissus' wishes over his own, he's also able to see past his own building grief to immortalise Cyparissus in such a way that both grants him his wish and allows other people to glorify Cyparissus as well! And I think such a beautiful thing is something criminally overlooked!

It's become something of a joke that 'all Apollo's lovers turn into plants' but from a functional perspective, flowers are the most brilliant way to keep the spirit of a beloved thing alive. Flowers are like stars - as long as there are humans, humans will always contemplate the nature of flowers and as the god of poetry and song, Apollo creating opportunities for his beloved mortals to be remembered eternally even if they never seized glory in the traditional way is such an intimate and beautiful thing. Even then, Cyparissus is elevated to a similar status as Daphne with Apollo's actions - not merely a plant or flower but one that specifically symbolises him, one that is extremely fragrant and beloved by him. Just as Daphne's laurels were synonymous with glory and victory, Cyparissus' cypress became a emblematic of grief and remembrance. Even today, thousands of years later, people still view cypress trees as mourning trees and plant them in cemeteries and use the ash in incense burnt in remembrance of others. How's that for Apollo keeping his word.

New starseeker alert !! Short Bio: Once a bot who'd explore the cosmos with reckless abandon, Starcleaver now pays no regard to cybertronian life and doesn't care whether or not those around him live or die. Exploration is but a childish activity, one only newly forged bots would do without purpose. To get by, Starcleaver has resorted to mercenary jobs. He's efficient. Killings are neither here nor there in terms of his feelings. One bot's death is his paycheck, and the life said cybertronian led was not his business or relevant to him in the slightest. Starcleaver had been long time friends with Starbramble, however their relations fell apart after Starbramble left him for dead with a group of Decepticons. Despite what the Decepticons did to him, despite the countless hours of solitary and painful interrogations he experienced, his loyalties to the Autobots crumbled after he learned that nobody was sent for him. Nobody even knew he was gone. If he ever sees Starbramble again? He'll have a nice new head ornament to mount in his ship. [The Starseeker frametype was created by @dimorphodon-x ! Go check out their stuff, it's really cool!]

I've been rolling around the idea of a tfp Skulduggery Pleasant AU for a while -- here's a joke courtesy of my friend @piptheteeththief that was too funny for me to not draw it

[Image ID: A digital drawing with the title "DOCTORS HATE THEM" in impact font. Underneath the text are Skulduggery Pleasant, a human skeleton dressed in a black suit, complete with black shoes, a black tie and a black hat. His hands are in his pockets. To his right is a human version of Wheeljack from the same franchise, drawn as a lean white man in his early 40s. His hair is ash-colored and very shaggy. On his head he has a dark brown cowboy hat. His eyes are grey and he has a slightly crooked nose, like it had broken before and never set the same way as it was before. He also has many small scars on his face and is smiling. In addition to his hat, his outfit consists of a white, green and red plaid shirt that's half tucked, a light gray aviator jacket, a dark brown belt with a silver buckle, dark red trousers and dark brown boots. He also has his hands in his pockets. / End ID]

One thing I really really loved about Star Twinkle is how each of the villains had their own fighting style. Even the monster of the week concept was different depending on who was summoning it. I just think it's neat, I already miss it dkksksks

Seeing your post about toxic doomed Yuri burgertron/spudmuffin changed my brainwaves. I read it and was like woahhh they ARE toxic doomed Yuri

there is a top 10 messiest breakups botvid and spud / burgertron are in the #1 spot and i will not be considering otherwise. they could have been THE power v-shaped polycule with ulf but fate aligned their destinies and it was not written in the stars . pouring one out for the combo meal of all time 😔✊

MOTW NPC Rach Lombardi, Mark's toxic ex who got ripped to shreds by dogman and then whose revenant ghost latched onto someone else who was on their own dogman revenge quest (player character Tatara)

she's fun.

What do you think about the following scenario?

Set in TFP, it starts before the war. Megatronus and Orion Pax meet, and it's a whirlwind romance. Someone is not fully up to date on their contraceptive patch, and Megatron ends up carrying. They decide to keep the bitlet, but Orion is made the primary caregiver after a short bonding period.

The Pits are no place for a sparkling, even if it tears Megatron apart to be away from his newspark.

The sparkling ends up accompanying Orion pretty much everywhere, including the Archives. Alpha Trion is a bit baffled and asks if he somehow managed to miss Orion carrying? No, he's the sire.

Of course they visit Megatronus as often as possible.

But canon still happens, and the sparkling ends up joining the Autobots.

Just another betrayal in Megatron's eyes.

I want the sparkling to be a canon character, but no idea who.

I'm tallying up my votes in my head for who said MegOp kid would become, and suggestions:

Classic choice, Bumblebee.

Also a classic choice, Hot Rod.

Unusual option: Mirage

Obscure options: Yellow Splendid Convoy, or "Convoy" for short. Roadfire who looks vaguely Optimus like.

I tried finding someone who looked more like Megs, I failed.

I should draw my third and fourth (fourth and fifth if you count Meowscarada and Ceruledge separately) Pokémon in their Gigantamax forms

Do you think that the little mermaid would be jealous of Gerard? She gave up her tail and her voice (we can assume) to live on land and it's likely she, because of the original myth, is in pain A Lot because of her transformation. And Gerard may hate being a frog (which like Yeah. It does suck and there a lot of trauma and powerlessness he associates with his current transformation I'd bet) but he gets to go on land and walk around while she can't go home and even if she can live on land it's Hard. Y'know?

thinking of making a slightly shameful self-insert werewolf character/story even though I’m absolute dog shit at making characters and narratives
