#i recently got into Transformers Earthspark right after watching Transformers One

[tyriq-edits]

Good evening tumblr

I have come to you with a second suggestion (an alternative version of this idea i had)

[emperor-kumquat]

Hey!! Sorry to drop an essay in your inbox but I recently began playing Mercy for the first time and I have A LOT of thoughts. I wanted to start with some context; I got really into Transformers through TFP about four years ago, and around that time I also found out about Mercy and started checking out your blog. After that I got really into Earthspark and kind of dropped out of TFP for a bit. I got a ton of spoilers for Mercy when I first checked out your blog, but enough time has passed that my ADHD ass has forgotten most of said spoilers, which let me say has made playing the game 1000x more fun. I keep thinking I remember something but either I was remembering incorrectly or I completely forget about a twist until it hits me in the face.

So now that the context is out of the way, I just wanted to say that I absolutely adore Mercy. I’m not done yet but it’s so fun to play and it’s super well written! My twin sister and I got into it together because we remembered that we played the fully illustrated YouTube demo and wanted to see where our respective routes got us. I got the Space Adventure storyline and she got the Discovery storyline, which we were super happy about because we recently binge-read all of IDW and loved Overlord and the DJD. She’s already finished Discovery and has said the experience was like a horror game lmfao

Meanwhile while she was getting chased around by Loyalty, my most stressful choice at the time was whether to go to Kaon with my Vehicon friends or Iacon with my Autobot friends. It was a very entertaining difference! Of course I was not nearly as relaxed when I got to Elba! I also made the choice to board Froid’s ship and I absolutely HATE the implication that Sunder is just. Chilling right in the middle of the floor and being like “nope you can’t see me! :D” I feel like I vaguely remember him having some sort of mind control power but NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. STOP THAT (/j)

One of the reasons I was super happy I got the Space Adventure storyline is because. Well. Overlord. When I was first checking out your blog I saw A LOT of posts about Overlord and kind of went “oh, he’s neat” but that was about the end of it. UNTIL IDW. I am holding you and Cuppajj personally responsible for planting the seeds for the monster of a hyperfixation that took hold as soon as I started reading Last Stand of the Wreckers (/j)

At this rate he isn’t just living rent free in my head, he’s making me pay the rent.

I was absolutely not disappointed by how he’s been written so far in Mercy. He’s absolutely terrifying and charismatic in all the best ways and I’m always thrilled when he shows up but also terrified because that means literally any choice I make could lead to my death! Also because I can’t quite remember what happens in Space Adventure WHY DOESN’T HE SLEEP?? WHY DOESN’T HE EAT?? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH HIM?? On a side note it makes me so soft that whenever he calls on Leozack and Lyzack he just says “LyLeo”. Back in elementary school my sister and I had the same friend group, and they collectively nicknamed us “Twin Twin” because that way they didn’t have to constantly guess which one of us was which lol

The LyLeo thing reminds me a lot of that and it’s just. It’s so cute. I absolutely love it.

On a funnier note, I had intended to do a full playthrough of Mercy and then circle back and track down The Bath Scene. This morning, while continuing my first and only playthrough, I RAN INTO IT NATURALLY. I COMPLETELY LOST MY SHIT IT WAS GREAT. FIRST TRY BABY LET’S GO!!! (funnily enough my only two deaths so far have been due to me trusting Decepticons when I really shouldn’t)

Anyway it’s super well written LMFAO

It’s a very entertaining death!! I can’t believe I got killed by Vehicons going “hey Steve watch this”, sending me inside, and then Family Guy death posing outside the door. Like seriously what did they do after that, wait until Overlord had finished brutally murdering Predaking and then get up like “good one, boss”? In addition to being hilarious, as an Overlord simp I was eating good LMAOO

In conclusion, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME!! Everything is an absolute train wreck right now and Predaking is traumatized but I’m having a fantastic time! I’ve also had a rough past couple of days and this really cheered me up, so thank you for that. :D

I will definitely have more thoughts to maybe share in the future as I continue the story but for now I will just scream at you because I’m super enthusiastic about this but whenever I try to share that enthusiasm I turn into a professional college essay writer.

Hope you have a good day/night! :D

Thank you, I adore your words and they motive me very much! I am so glad you and your twin are having fun. I want to think back to positive feedback like this and feel energized to keep on writing!

Btw I am editing Space Adventure now because I wrote it in 2021. Its writing quality should become nice and smooth and ever the more enjoyable! It's very cool to hear from a twin who loves Leozack and Lyzack and how Overlord addresses them as LyLeo (he adores them). The twins share the same rank and practiced to both be excellent spear throwers, though they are individuals still! Leozack is chiller and soft for Hellbat while Lyzack will absolutely murder anyone who tries to hurt Overlord. There are no death scenes where Leozack kills you but you can get ended by Lyzack! She's savage and ultimately I wanted to give her more substance than what she originally had as a character in TF Victory.

The other set of twins is Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, but they don't stick close to each other. Sunstreaker is a cop in Mercy while Sideswipe is a pilot. Both are a bit vain, but Sunstreaker is the big pretty boy who had cosmetic surgery done and adopted a kid.

Love you fellow Overlord fan! Congratulations on finding the hilarious bath scene! Check out Discovery too and experience the horror your sister had to go through. Or just play the guided playthrough to avoid being murdered by Kaon over and over hehe

I wonder if given the stories I'm vibing with right now I should try to give Transformers a shot. It's a series that always felt a bit Kaiju-Adjacent.

I actually watched all of Transformers Prime as a teenager when I had a brief TF fixation, also read a lot of the IDW comics, remember really liking the one that focused on Cybertron rebuilding after the war and the minis focused on Windblade, but didn't finish.

More recently I did try to read the classic Marvel series, but got really tired of reading comics for a big while. But I have been reading more manga, so it might be a good time to try the comics again.

It's also a series with just so much stuff that looks interesting. I really like how Cyberverse looks, I heard EarthSpark is really good, and that even some of the recent live action movies have been pretty good too. And that new animated movie looks pretty promising.

So who knows, might be something I try to get into after in the future after watching more Goji and Gamera first.

I’ve recently got into Transformers EarthSpark, it ‘s a really cute found family show that, while it seems though it was made for a younger audience, tackles some pretty heavy subject matter.

So after binge watching season 1, I went on my different socials to look at fan works. The fandom is great on Tumblr, however when I look on Twitter and especially YouTube I see shit like

like

dude

1. Just because LGBTQ+ topics are in a kid show, doesn't mean it is indoctrinating your kid. You kid’s head isn't going to explode if they see two dudes kissing or a person who identifies as non-binary on screen.

As I was growing up, with the internet and the fact that my brother is a part of the LGBTQ+ community, I learned a lot about different gender identities and sexualities at a young age and I easily understood the fact that some people love other people who are the same gender and the fact that people feel more comfortable with certain pronouns because that makes them more comfortable in their own body. Also, some people want to change their body so they are even more comfortable. Then I learned later that some people feel attractions for multiple types of genders why some don't feel romantic or sexual attractions at all.

2. Imagine someone getting so dame pressed about a 3D animated robot from a cartoon series going by They/Them. Don't these people have anything better to do?

3. There have been gay transformers like Chromedome and Rewind and in one issue, Breakdown and Knockout are married (or whatever the cybertornian equivalent is). Not to mention, Anode and Lug who are not only trans (mtf male to female) but they are also lesbians! The fact that there are people spreading this kind of hate and claiming the mere inclusion of LGBTQ+ anything ruins a show is disappointing. The only time and I mean the only time it would ever be a problem is if it is dose to mock or is done in a stereotypical fashion, like why people were apprehensive about Q-Force. Also, if it is clearly done to market to the LBGBTQ+ community and not actually represent us, like when Disney announces “their first GAY character” for the hundredth millionth time and even then, it’s less of the inclusion and more of the execution. This example rings especially true sense their first real on screen appearance of a main character who is gay having a relationship arc and trying to confess to a guy is in a movie that Disney actively tried to repress and only released a few trailers right before the movie was released to theaters.

The fact that there are people complaining about a nonbinary character on a tv show while really trans people are getting their rights taken from them as it grows harder and harder for people to transition, especially trans youth, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

TLDR, angry basements dwellers are mad over a nonbinary 3D animated robot from a kids show.
