#i think she likes scifi

[nick-close]

To be honest, while I have a few hcs- I never really care much for trying to make lore/hcs for Morgan? Like, while she had her own life and such- her role in the story IS for Glenn. I care way more about how she affected HIM. She seemed sweet, he loved her a lot, but it never goes past that for me.

Well

I am thinking of another Batfam Transformers Au. Specifically one including the cassette carriers in design liklike Soundwave and Blaster.

I am sure one can understand where I am going with this lol.

Not exactly huge but still pretty big Bruce. Antenna mimicking the bat cowl ears, maybe transforms into a drone or even the batmobile, but honestly could be anything. Maybe he's a bat ir bat dragon lol.

BUT ANYWAy-

This brings me to the batkids. The more human sized cybertronians. Who can become cassettes or the equivalent. I am sure someone on here remembers the original animated series. There's some really fun stuff lol.

Now we know from Transformers Prime and practically every other series that cybertronians can in fact change their paint job and even reverse the colors. So they all can start the robin colors still, or rather go from a default gray to their robin colors to whatever else.

They're like Bruce's sparklings! Little babies/children whose pods crashed onto earth after his. Yes, Bruce pulled a clark and crashed into the Wayne's backyard. Only he was technically already a teen. Because we know it would take Way longer for a cybertronian to grow up than a human lol. But that's where Bruce's human name comes from!

Now, will I be including holoforms? Good question, I just had this idea while rewatchin the first season of the animated series, and would actually appreciate other people's ideas or thought lol

I know they were busy saving the world and all of that, but we really got robbed of some interactions between Yasmine, Ava and Beatrice just ... being nerds together.

Imagine the potential: Yasmine blasting out fun history facts and then Beatrice complementing by bringing up a whole linguistic analysis; Ava just listens in awe before adding the most mind-blowing dystopian theory based on a sci-fi book she read.

i've really had xina and miguel's dynamic under a microscope lately; right now my object of scrutiny is xina's use of "kevorkian" in issue #26. it's a quick, tongue-in-cheek comment about miguel's suicidality; kevorkian, at the time of publication, was routinely making headlines for his stance taken and assistance in physician-assisted suicides.

we know early on that xina is, as miguel describes, a "twencen freak," which manifests the most prominently via a love for old pop culture, but it doesn't stop there. she notably talks about alchemax's habit of erasing history, has a lifelike version of a old political figure in her home, and, in this case, brings up a name that's big in bioethics debates.

importantly, she says it very offhandedly, implying that she and miguel have had these discussions before—and i doubt the state is particularly eager to bring up any talk of ethics to their scientists-in-training.

my take on miguel sinking deeper into alchemax's agenda is that while he really doesn't care for the institution itself, he's mistakenly convinced himself that he's chosen the most politically neutral option possible. science is anything but apolitical; it is deeply, irretrievably steeped in concerns about morality. at the time miguel and xina were drifting apart, this wasn't something he wanted to mull over. (after all, once he realizes he's an accessory to state-sanctioned oppression, he wants nothing more than his life to end.)

xina is smart, yes—and i think, knowledgeable, specifically, in ways that directly challenged the delicate mental gymnasium that miguel had started to build for himself. it's not just that xina being more intelligent became a problem. she was also probably (and rightfully) challenging the value of his work, the completeness of his knowledge, and becoming a huge source of cognitive dissonance.

he's the geneticist, but xina, who specializes in an entirely different field, was engaging him in talks about the ethical implications of the work he was doing. trying to get him to think for himself, appealing to the good person she sincerely believes exists in this strange new version of her friend.

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

assuming pythia's curse is no longer in effect and the blinovitch limitation effect is not that much of an issue (or you know might be kinda hot like sensation play idk), do you think two regenerations of the same timelord could conceive a child together?

[ribbittrobbit]

also, the science fiction vibe that burrow's end is building up to is extremely cool and i love it so much

every other poster on the tube right now is advertising a new musical called ‘the time traveller’s wife’. for a blissful moment i forgot that a ‘wife’ is something that a heterosexual woman can be, and, believing it to be a beautiful lesbian tale akin to tihylttw, decided to google the synopsis to see if it was worth checking out. big mistake. ‘man first encounters his future spouse as a young girl, returns to kiss her at 18 and marry her in the future, remaining the same age as barely any time passes for him meanwhile she spends years alone pining for her distant angel’ blinks. what does that remind me of. oh yeah apparently this came before. i’m already suffering through series 5 at the current moment, so, plenty enough of that for years to come, thank you, and— what a surprise— the novel the musical’s based on was a primary inspiration for you-know-who’s weird fixation on this particular plotline. the worst part about the time traveller’s wife is that there aren’t even any cool steampunk clockwork droids or gorgeous 18th century french dresses to make up for the vomit-inducing implications. i have never been more disappointed. mind wipe, now

[Image description: A digital drawing of Marybeth from The Faculty. It's a close-up on her face, with her hand peaking out from the corner. She has a blank expression, and is leaning forward slightly. There's a large hole on one side of her face, with cracks snaking off from it like shattered porcelain. Inside this, there's a floating red orb with tendrils protruding from it. Her hand is close to her face, and she's holding an empty pen. The piece is drawn in a sketchy pencil style, and the colouring has a scratchy texture. The background is a green gradient from dark to light.]
