TFA Autobots reacting to SO collecting robot model kits?

(im thinking Op specifically but go nuts) 👉👈

Thank you for your request! English is not my main language so I'm sorry if I make any mistakes!

TFA Autobots React to Their Human S/O Collecting Robot Model Kits

[Autobots (Optimus' team) x GN!Reader]

🔥 Optimus Prime

He notices the model kits with a curious look at first, a little uncertain.

“You’re really into… robots, huh?” he asks with a small, slightly awkward smile.

But when you tell him you started collecting long before meeting him—and that now, no plastic version could ever compare to the real thing—he freezes, his optics widen, and then… he chuckles softly.

“…You really know how to make a bot blush.”

Later, if he sees you assembling a model of him, he might glance at it quietly… and then strike the same pose in real life while pretending it’s a coincidence.

🛠️ Ratchet

“Model kits? Bah. What’s the point of fiddlin’ with tiny pieces when you’ve got the real thing right here?” he grumbles.

But when he sees you carefully clipping, painting, and fitting parts together with your deft fingers, he finds himself quietly impressed.

“You’ve got good hands,” he mumbles. “For such a tiny thing.”

You mention you've made one of him, and he instantly demands to see it.

Ends up squatting nearby, arms crossed, giving "helpful" (and very bossy) advice.

“That part’s upside down. No, not that shade—use this one. That’s closer to my actual paint job.”

He won’t touch it—he’s too scared he’ll break it—but he’ll hover like a grumpy old guard drone.

💪 Bulkhead

“Oh wow!! Look at all these tiny lil’ bots!! They’re so cute!” he exclaims, his massive frame practically lying down to peer into your display shelf.

When you warn him not to touch anything, he immediately backs off with wide eyes.

“O-oh! Sorry!! Didn’t mean to break your treasures! They’re just so cool…”

Then he spots one that vaguely resembles him and gasps.

“That one’s me!! Right!? It’s gotta be!!”

He gets ridiculously happy, and later? He secretly crafts a tiny badge with his own name and places it beside that model like a proud little kid.

He also starts asking if he can be part of your collection too.

“I promise I’ll stand real still! Like a statue!”

🌸 Prowl

He watches your hobby with quiet interest, eyes following the movement of your hands as you assemble piece by piece.

“There’s something meditative about this, isn’t there?” he says, voice low. “A miniature reflection of order and discipline.”

You gift him a model of a sleek samurai-style mech.

“I thought this one looked a bit like you.”

He takes it with delicate fingers, silently examining it for a long time.

Then softly murmurs, “If I had only ever existed like this… I wonder if you still would have loved me.”

He stays beside you in meditative silence while you build. Doesn’t speak—but his gaze? Always watching. Always warm.

⚡ Bumblebee

“Wait, WHAT!? You collect robots!? That’s so cool!! Is there one of me!? Please say there’s one of me!!”

He’s bouncing on his feet, practically vibrating with excitement.

You try to tell him to be careful and not touch anything, but he pouts dramatically.

“…Sooo you were into plastic robots before me?” he asks, suddenly sulking.

You reassure him that he’s way better than any model kit.

Instant mood switch. He beams.

“Yeah!! 'Cause I talk and move and do this—TA-DA!!” He strikes a heroic pose next to your shelf.

Starts showing off every time you're building.

“Need a reference model? I can hold that pose forever if you want. Take pics. Frame them. Worship me a little.”

[Long post]

So, to recap:

• APPARENTLY LOKI KNEW XEBEC??

And bro got beat when he saw him, oh lord😭

Welp, now we know Xebec hates kids like Loki and maybe in general seeing as he FUCKING STABBED THE CHILD--

• Gunko has goated taste in music

Also- I didn't even notice until people pointed it out, TD stands for "Tone Dial"

So Tone Dials actually became the headphones of One Piece after those 2 years! :0

Good to see Skypiea got some recognition in that chapter, even if it's just minor details, I love stuff like that tbh :3

And... honestly, as bad as the Gods Knights are, Oda hit us with the personality effect-- meaning that they're starting to become my favorite characters despite bring bad guys😭

Their interactions are fun, Sommers is a bitch for making fun of Gunko's taste, tho.

• Luffy's out here almost killing Loki unintentionally, holy fuck😭😭

LIKE GOOD GOD, HE'S GIVING THIS MAN 3RD DEGREE BURNS FRKM THAT POT-

AND FLIPPIN GERD OUT HERE SUPPORTING IT LMFAOOO

She hates that man so damn much, jesus😭

• I love the 2 cooks getting along, this was actually really neat to see :]

• Not only that, but the fire stopped! But uhh... it seems the kids are still asleep under Qilingham's control

• Not only that, but Gunko's aboard the ship Colon and the other part of the Strawhats are. And that's what we'll be seeing today.

• Side Note: also also, there's like this facility or building of some sort that looks like a robot, and Lilith estimates that it could be 3,000 years old, but those are speculations for now.

------------------------------------

Idk about you guys, but I find Ulti willing to serve Yamato after being saved kinda surprising. Even Page One's surprised about this, too.

Not sure where this'll be heading, but I'm curious as to what Yamato's next move might be.

Meanwhile, THE CHILD IS GETTING ABDUCTED.

So uhm... this is getting bad 0_0"

Also also- YEP.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A WORLD WAR... IDK, 4?? WITH HOW LONG THIS WAR'S BEEN GOING BETWEEN THE WORLD GOVERNMENT, THEY ACTUALLY MENTION THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ALL-OUT WAR AHEAD.

Not only that, but we actually get to see-

A NEW MOVE FROM NAM-

Oop-

Uh...

Well shit, it got redirected •-•'

Still, it was pretty cool :]

Ngl though, the Arrow-Arrow fruit might just become a bit of a problem for these guys...

BUT WHAT I'M MOST SURPRISED ON IS HOW THEY FOCUSED ON TH I S.

With people pointing out that- because Soul King is Brook- you'd think Gunko would have this sort of fangirl moment of her squealing and wanting a autograph from the Soul King himself, but while that may not be the case here...

They seem to really be focusing on this panel of the 2. Of course she wouldn't recognize him cus of the new Elbaph fit, but imagine if she did if he'd change😭

Who knows how that interaction might go, lmfao

AND THESE 2

THESE 2 ARE JUST THE SAME, HOLY SHIT

PFFTTRJJDJD

But oh god...

If we really want to pay attention to detail here, this..

This is actually pretty sad🥲

Saul cannot catch a break for the life of him--

This guy's feeling more pain than he felt back in Ohara, AND LOOK AT ROBIN, GOD DAMN IT-

LORD KNOWS WHETHER IF SHE'S HAVING PTSD OR NOT JUST BY HAVING TO HEAR SAUL IN PAIN, BUT GOOD GOD

ODA W H Y

THESE GUYS WERE FINALLY REUNITED AND NOW THEY'RE DEALING WITH MORE CHAOS AGAINJ DJDNFNNF

this panel of Robin gives me p a i n🥲

But on a side note:

While it's vague, we get a Sommers eye reveal🎉

Now stap it with needles, this guy needs to be put down and f a s t.

AND NO BREAK NEXT WEEK🎉🎉

but it's safe to assume that something big's brewing in this war, and who knows how that war's going to start.

You could say that it started now in Elbaph, but to me, this is only just the beginning.

But one thing's for sure, people were right about one thing:

Ragnarok's coming.

DCRC Week #31

Only 2 weeks into the semester and school is already beating my ass, but you know who always has my back? That's right baby. Paperinik. New. Adventures. Always there for me when nobody else is.

Anyways um today is PKNA #26: Time Flies which is a fun and normal adventure chapter with absolutely no existential commentary on the nature of art whatsoever.

GIANT ENEMY CRAB WHOOOO YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT

umm ACTUALLY mysterious disembodied voice, Donald is a little bitch so write that down

Shoutout to Malva I think her design is really cool and we love a bald woman they slays. Shoutout to bald women actually, just like in general.

DUDE LOOK they're flying through time... just like the cover art

Shoutout to Malva AGAIN for this outfit. Yas bitch slay!!!

their faces are killing me

Since Malva and Vlad are already traveling everywhere with such little regard for the timestream they should go show a Victorian child an iPhone and see if he dies from shock

YEAHHHH BIG FUCKING ROBOT DRAGON FIGHT YEAAHHHH 🔥🔥🔥

No Vlad is right here, PK and Lyla are doing time travel all wrong. You're supposed to dress up in silly little outfits :/

The 4 of them are so fucking goofy I'm kind of living for this set of characters tbh

AW HELL NAW WE IN THE LAND BEFORE TIME

Enjoying this pair of random Evronian workers who seem to be about as rundown as the rest of us

Goofy asf panel they're just like D:

heh... well then, LET'S. GET. DANGEROU- no wait that's the other guy

LYLA WITH MESSY HAIR RRRAAAHHHHH I love her

WoOAoaoOAoahhh PLOT TWIST!!! Is that DUCKLAS STYVESANT??? Remember? Remember him from Portrait of the Young Hero-

THAT'S RIGHT, WHAT YOU JUST READ FOR THE LAST 60 PAGES WAS ACTUALLY A SERIES OF AI GENERATED SLOP FROM THE YEAR 2255!!! FUCK YOU

Oh.

OKAY SO. Obviously the biggest hit of this chapter comes at the very end, when it's revealed that the entire story we've been following wasn't actually real, and this whole time we've just been reading an episode of a TV show that was entirely computer-generated. Of course, this comic was still made by real artists, because the technology to AI generate photos didn't exist all the way back in 1999 (thank god).

Had I read this comic maybe 4, 5 years ago, I would've probably just been like "oh huh. that's neat." and moved on. But reading this story now, in the year 2025??? Holy shit dude. The accuracy with which they approach the topic of AI art in this story is lowkey terrifying. You're telling me that Ducklas fucking Styvesant can grasp the concept of why AI art would be wrong in the year 1999, and we somehow have people in MODERN DAY that can't grasp why people are against it? 😭

This is another one of those scenarios where you read sci-fi media from the past that's exploring some kind of existential threat, in this case the existence of entirely machine-generated "art", and it's explored as some kind of scary far off "what if" scenario, but yet again we're brought face to face with the fact that this is actually happening NOW. Like NOW now. This comic predicted that computer generated shows would be a newly emerging technology in 2255, that makes us almost 230 years ahead of schedule in the real world. AND I THINK THAT'S FUCKIN CRAZY!!!!

If we're gonna go the route of making all the sci-fi horrors of PKNA into real world things can we at least get an Uno first? I would much prefer him existing over the AI slop that's all over google images now, thanks xoxo.

Anyways to briefly wind down it's time for Lyla comic!!

Shoutout to Lyla for being in what I can only assume is robot therapy

BTW if my coworkers decided to invite themselves over to my house and expected ME to prepare a meal for them?? I'd literally kill everyone in that office.

I can't cook for shit and I even I knew that... also if Lyla wasn't a robot she would have severe burns all over her body right now so. Here's a quick PSA: don't microwave eggs, don't microwave water either, both will explode. Above all else, stay safe in the kitchen.

Anyways here are some shots of Lyla being cute because I think she looks great in this artstyle.

See you next week fellow book clubbers 🫡

[enpr-ss]

WILD LIFE FINALE!!!

Wait it IS every wildcard? But just in sequence? Banana again. And finally the 3 grinches are clearly aligned. THE SNAILS!!! Is it every other wildcard card? Or only the useful ones? Ah back to his failed machine gun cross bow strategy. Randomized wild cards? ETHO GOT THE MACE ONE AGAIN LOOOOL. He simply cannot escape being breeze-coded. BigB is now the most important ally to have. Bdubs can’t beat the BigB allegations TRIVIABOT IS BACK!!! WITH CURRENT SESSION QUESTIONS! Omg. Time to see our players make an absolute fool of themselves again. Despairing over wasting time mining for diamonds last session LOL. Robot Tango again!!! Also this would help the shapeshifters maintain their disguise. THE TRIVIABOT JUST DIED IN FRONT OF THEM OH MY GOD!?!? His Minecraft body language is so communicative. Etho: “Honestly Tango: probably for the best, with the way things have been going”

Wait so the wild cards keep randomizing? And so the super powers with it??? This is going to be so chaotic. Also where’s Mumbo? Not Etho mistaking Ren for Martyn and giving him stuff LOL. Etho: “Somebody needs to blow up Joel’s car again” ETHO LOOOOOL THATS SO BRUTAL.

In which Etho’s Canadianness saves him from Scar's rollercoaster. And of course he forgot about his zombie powers. I’m sure his zombies has some words about that. Should have saved his enchanted leftover armor for his zombies lol. Etho: “You guys gotta hurry though cuz- *Skizz immediately dies in front of them*”

Whose snail is that? Do zombies get zombie snails too? Nooo the zombies…..

I bet BigB’s about to attempt to mace Etho as he answers the TriviaBot. Omg snails + triviabot is such a deadly combo. BIGB NOOOO NOT TO A SNAIL!!! BigB literally just died and Etho accidentally called Bdubs BigB.

OH MY GOD HIS TRAP AND BETRAYAL ACTUALLY WORKED!!!! NO WONDER THAT WAS HIS THUMBNAIL LOOOOOL. I guess that’s what happens when you try to corner Etho into picking your side AHAHAH. Yet another illegal yellow on yellow kill. AND THEN HIS SNAIL GOT HIM BECAUSE HE LITERALLY WALKED TOWARDS IT INSTANT KARMA OH MY GOD. I CANT IM LAUGHING SO HARD WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE.

Mount Gem is blowing and it’s all Etho’s fault. She’s no longer overlooking patheticness.

WHO WROTE THIS QUESTION!?!! I HAVE SOME WORDS FOR YOU!!!

Look at Etho really committing to the innocent pathetic tuff guy bit.

Wait who has the teleport? Was it Joel or Grian? And I think the other one is shapeshifter. THAT WAS SO CHAOTIC HE JUST KILLED IMPULSE OUT OF THE SERIES OMG. “Why is it not working?” BECAUSE IT’S A BAD STRATEGY AND YOU CANT AIM??? ALSO YOUR TARGET CAN TELEPORT LOL???? What a hilarious chaotic scrum. They truly can’t touch a warper. He’s just leading them around in circles. Grian’s screech as he got warped in was so good. Did the super speed just benched because it was too op??

lol what was that 1x1 pvp. ETHO GOT SCOTT OUT. OF ALL PEOPLE TO DO SO. THE TIMING. Finally the crossbow was useful. Even when Gem loses she stays winning.

Yep not answering trivia bot, lighting up the area, and staying aware and away from the snail was the smart gamer move.

I can’t believe of all people it’s the Tuff Guys who made it intact to the final 8. And Tango has answered every single trivia question wrong and got robo’ed AGAIN. How nice for everyone to congregate near the middle at the Tuff Guys base. Why is Etho standing underneath and around the RAILTRACKS. If Joel TNT minecarts you all, it’s so deserved. Repelling a trident with a windcharge is cool. HE BLEW HIMSELF UP AGAIN LOL. Only 1 successful trap in all the series. Hoisted by his own breezy petard. Pathetic Tuff Guy to the end.

I got spoiled a bit but I’m so glad that I predicted correctly. They went strip mining in the finale…. Ah all the wild cards are not as extreme. "CHILD LIFE" JOEL?!?! The anxiety cheetah allegations are back. He’s such a sucker for pathetic men / his wife and just giving them whatever they ask for and not being hostile to them. He’s speedbridging again. Of course he tries to use his op invis ability and immediately gets exposed because of a dog. Lizzie tries to blow him up via zombie Martyn and he’s like oooooh iron!

Joel: “Pretty sure it’s Jimmy he’s got mascot energy” What does that even mean??

That Ghast screeches were unholy. Not Gem helping Lizzie, and Joel immediately leaving the Gem-Pearl drama Etho nearly got Joel as well… and how does Joel just fall for his excuses and lies every single time. And Joel keeps rescuing his wife and Jimmy from dangerous mobs.

Of course Joel dies to Scott but at least Etho got Scott back. Even if it’s by accident. And of course Joel takes it as an alliance at face value. Etho got karma’ed by his snail AND HE GOT IMPULSE WITH THE INVIS SNAIL AS WELL!! The snails are on the family’s side. Joel stays winning. Lizzie and Jimmy going out together. Rip Joel.

Ah Etho thought it was a genuine attempt but they were just messing with him. And I’m sure there’s going to be so much angst about Lizzie going after Joel and he punching her into her creeper death. What a circus of them trying to get Joel. And Grian accidentally saved him with the warp. Then he sets up a creeper trap and accidentally nearly kills Gem LOL. And he’s so focused on trying to make a trap that Scott gets him. “no-YES!” And Joel accidentally triggering all the trapped chests that Gem set again (just like Secret Life finale)

TANGO NOT AGAIN!!!! REN LOL. Oof Grian.

Of course Joel goes to see if his first trap that he spent so much time and effort on would have worked. And of course it didn’t. Even when he wins he stays losing.

How fast they stop cheering.

Grian absolutely ripping Tuff Guys to shreds. And he’s just noping away from Ren’s angst but also contributing to it with the unnecessary elaboration. Look at him and Etho continuing their playful tone banter.

Grian, looking at Pearl and Impulse: “How have we all had the same idea?”

“You got Dumb and Dumber!” Guess Grian’s still mad at Mumbo and banned him LOL.

The snails!! Giving everyone heart attacks and killing everyone in a rampage. No wonder he was so anxious about not knowing where his snail was. Grian and Scar helping each other out A LOT.

Grian: “It was always going to be like this Jim.” Eret vibes. That was SO BRUTAL. But that’s the commitment Grian has. Hell hath no fury like a widow scorned. And it’s basically the same line he used on Mumbo too.

He finally did save Joel with a warp, even putting himself on the line! Pulled through from the last episode. It’s so tragic that Grian and Joel didn’t think to warp someone to their snail.

Grian ABSOLUTELY NOPING out of the death tower that claimed so many of his allies.

How has he missed every single shot??? He’s literally in the best position too. Grian dying by falling off a cliff where he and Scar based next to a tower ala 3rd Life!!! It’s always a finale cliff.

Seeing behind the scenes snippets is so cool! And the snails!!!

LOL. Something about counting sheep to fall asleep...

Classic Gem. It would be so cool if Gem did actually take out Lizzie because that’s Joel’s only weakness.

LOL

Gem coldly rejecting any attempts to beg with “well you killed me and also weren’t good friends”

Was the bee someone? Gem pulled out her sword at it and it immediately u-turned.

She’s not even using her speed just walking away from Pearl’s mace attempts. Scott watching in exasperation. “We can’t talk until I’m on red? You better work a little harder then.” The return of toxic yuri and pathetic Pearl. She likes red bloodthirsty pathetic Pearl the best?!?! What is wrong with the both of them. What does Gem even WANT?!?!? Being red together? Killing each other for real? Or wanting Pearl constantly obsessing over her, chasing after her death but also her affection? I’m sinking my teeth into this insane dynamic.

She really just snatched up those items from right on front of her snail! I was tense!!! TWICE!!!

She’s so proud of Etho for finally killing her. I’m surprised she didn’t engage with Pearl now that she’s on red. “I'm going to make it my life’s mission to kill Impulse” and then Impulse dies to the invis snail. Even when she loses she stays winning. She didn’t even put in the part where Etho got instant karma’d by his snail too.

I love her captions so much.

Gem yelling at incompetent players has to be a compilation somewhere. Her not feeling the need to get involved with the chaos because they will all self-destruct is very watcher lore of her.

Gem encouraging Pearl’s wet cat-ness continues!!!! We are so fed!!!!

SHE MADE BDUBS ETHO AND GRIANS SNAIL INVIS AHAHAHA.

She’s trying to be insane with Pearl but Joel keeps accidentally interrupting their moment LOL. The enthusiastic tone shift, the deliberate matchy clothing…

Oof the one time she answered the TriviaBot wrong (to be fair she might have misclicked or been punched or just under too much time pressure) The sped up time killing her AGAIN. Oof. But at least no one got her; the wild card did!!! And she had to really hammer in the point about roleplay to settle the drama lol. She played so well!!! Shame we didn’t see more insane dynamics; I was really excited for the angsty 1v1 with either Pearl or Joel. And Joel won!!!

THIS TITLE AND DESCRIPTION LOOOOOOOL

Of course Scott can twin into Pearl and Pearl got Gem's powers. The perfect selection for lore and soulmate / toxic yuri angst.

Ah man they missed an opportunity to trap the blocks around the creaking heart so that it instantly sets off a tnt minecart. A swarm of angry bees is mean LOL!!!

She has fond memories of murder camel!!! Of course it’s Scott as her murder buddy.

Gem cut out SO MUCH pathetic mace Pearl content LOL. Cleo Impulse and Pearl vs Gem and she still barely landed like 2 hits. Gem’s POV didn’t hear the part where Pearl said GEM said that they couldn’t talk until she was on red. The unreliable narrator is SO GOOD!! Pearl panting like an excited dog on her last wind charge targeting Joel!!!! Gem cut out the part where she implies that Pearl doesn’t actually want to kill her because she warned her about her snail. And when Gem compliments her she starts backing off because she’s suspicious. The excited dog panting AGAIN when Gem basically stood still until the last moment??? Gem: “Right under you...” This dynamic is EVERYTHING!!

The cry of rage when Impulse died.

The pathetic wet cat allegations cannot be beat. Especially when she accidentally hotgal’ed BigB instead of Joel. The sad resignation in her voice about being pathetic. Omg I just realized the Hotguy Comic Zine roleswap AU basically got canonized.

The universe is homophobic and refused to let their yuri be reconciled, tearing them apart at Pearl’s expense at every opportunity. Excellent timing from terrible trapper warper!Joel. Gem says she can’t control him literally at the same place where they bullied MurderBot!Pearl and said the same thing of “yeah he’s just harmless like that.”

She water bucketed Gem after Scott lava’d her! Didn’t capitalize on the weakness for the kill!! Her TriviaBot question was literally about Gem giving flowers to another person!!! She pearled away!!!! And she’s sad about Gem dying!!!!! IM SCREAMING

Pearl, desolate: “I’m so lost… I didn’t get to have the murder camel with Gem. Impulse died!! What do I do?” *sad music* THE TRAGEDY!!! The return of lonely Pearl!!!! “My heart has never been so broken before in the Life Series..”

Cleo and Pearl are Ren’s swords instead!!!!! Dogwarts symbolism increases. She got poisoned arrowed and fall damage from an ender pearl into the bamboo, by Grian??? Oof.

Tango got beep booped!! Running joyfully towards "free food" (cows) and immediately bravely fleeing with extra flee when they converted into hostile mobs. “That’s not free food!”

He’s really going through all the previous sessions again. Stealing bots in the EXACT same place. eSCARgone LOL. Doesn’t even know what his superpower is as he holds his refilling windcharges, with the full durability mace in the hotbar. Unparalleled powers of observation indeed.

How did the most tenuously held together team make it all the way to the final 8? And of course classic Tango got beep booped AGAIN. He has NOT answered a single one right.

Tango AGAIN WITH WINDCHARGE ON THE TOWER!!! ON HIS TEAMMATE NO LESS!!! AND THEN HE BLEW HIMSELF UP WITH A CREEPER AND JOEL’S JOKE ARROW SHOT KILLED HIM LOOOOOL. Dying as he lived: accidentally killing someone he wasn't supposed while making Tango noises. On brand hilariously lame final death. Legend!!

Bdubs unashamedly stealing everything just to please Etho LOL. Cannot beat the BigB allegations with the creaking superpower.

Bdubs, after getting a question wrong and taking it out on Pearl: “MAYBE YOU’D WATCH MY EPISODE AND GIVE ME SOME VIEWS AND AD REVENUE!!”

Bdubs being calmed by Gem’s chill farming in the middle of the finale LOL. It’s all about the building and relaxation vibes with him.

Love how the terminology went from robot to beep boop!! And Bdubs is yelling at Etho about his encroaching snail but all he hears is beep boop. There's got to be an airpods meme in there. And then he tries to kill Etho even before he got him mixed up with BigB. It's honestly such a miracle that these 3 made it to the final 8, as the last intact team even. WHAT IS THIS DEAD WIFE FLUFFY WHOLESOME BACKSTORY TEAM SOLIDARITY AGAINST ALL ODDS AND EXPECTATIONS FLASHBACK????? Bdubs ABSOLUTELY just baiting his audience LOL??? And then somehow Etho understanding Bdubs’ beep boop arrow communication????

Gem and Joel had NO IDEA Bdubs was trying to kill them the entire time LOL That was a smooth escape from Pearl and Ren’s TNT cobwebs

The earlier reference to Bdubs’ boogey kill on Tango from Last Life from Etho and then dying by Tango’s windcharge here!!!! Bdubs: “That’s poetic irony” INDEED

Of course the Tuff guys died as they lived: bumbling around, taking each other and themselves out of the series.

THE SHADE!!! OF COURSE IT'S CLEO WHO GOT THIS QUESTION LOL!!! Her final superpower of summoning ALL the zombies!!! On brand!!! Seeing the horde of zombies in their amazing skins just swarming Gem was AMAZING. She's getting karma'd from this series and Secret Life. She didn't turn to fight off Joel, but remained attacking Grian to protect Ren all the way to the end. Truly loyal!!!!

Of course Scott got the other shapeshifting one. Maybe it is allocated by red and yellow. Also it’s hilarious seeing little Scott riding giant Scott. Well he did get Joel before he died to Etho!

Impulse was actually in such a good position to set a trap for Gem and Joel but the INVIS SNAIL!!! His luck failed against Gem and Joel's.

BigB was the first to die to his snail, it was his first death, and it's fitting that it was his final death too. Also the swarm of angry bees was hilarious. His commitment to the weird gaslighting vibe is incredible.

Her Lichjesty Lizzie being the most competent by immediately setting traps, fixing the redstone of Scar’s rollercoaster, testing it twice (got the dog!), saving Scar from his snail, and being very efficient with her zombies. She spun and launched her bot LOL!!!

Lizzie: “I need you to bam me in the bunker.” Grian: “Sosorrywhat” *Jimmy and Grian pause and look at each other in shock* Jimmy: “Don’t tell Joel.” Efficient but why would she say it like that. That was a really awkward scene.

And immediately figured out how to use her dna copying superpower. Wait it wasn’t Tango who got the first mace kill? Mumbo then?

Lizzie: “Well I guess the Bamboozlers became the Bamlosers. First team eliminated. Leave a like to pay your respects.” SHE’S SO FUNNY OMG?!?!?! They all died at basically the same time! LIZZIE AS A ROBOT ZOMBIE TRYING TO KILL JOEL LOOOOOL

Of course Jimmy gets the bright idea to lead his ravager to Joel’s base and act pathetic to get rescued. And then get freaked out by NOT his snail.

Can’t actually believe Scar finished his rollercoaster, rode it and Grian made it happen. How interesting that they both independently came up with series-long minecart rides of death. Of course his rollercoaster of death never worked.

Not Scar being mad that Grian is stealing his hotguy brand and tridenting him. And Etho being too Canadian and Scar feeling bad about killing him so many times, thus saving him from the rollercoaster.

Honestly where did eSCARgo even come from? LORE?!?!?!? Of course he died immediately after being resurrected.

Martyn as a zombie is so good. The voice, the wit, the goonishness. Bdubs awkwardly watching the divorce of Zombie Martyn and Mutant Martren. That cobwebs on Bdubs and Joel was pretty cool.

The angsty robot voice going "Ow." "I did a bucket thing." and "At least I got a couple of swipes in." is utterly HILARIOUS. And he finished 3rd, just as he wanted in the beginning!

Skizz..... He was literally about to follow Scar to his death.

“The ending is yours… Make it WILD”. Can't wait for the fandom to lore this up. Especially with the red “yours”.

This series truly has been about chaotic dramatic ironic comedic timing. Bringing up past drama, thus causing even more divorces. Absolutely no notes; it's perfection. And the FANTASTIC production work by the dev team! Funniest Life series yet!! After listening to the Wild Life Recap on the Imp & Skizz Podcast: I truly can't believe that Martyn got the listener superpower by RANDOM. And that it wasn't sorted by red / yellow / green as well. It was also a surprise that the order of the finale overlapping wild cards wasn't random. It WASN'T a surprise that they all actually randomly put on their zombie skins to red herring us. But most of all, frankly I'm amazed at how fast the dev team got everything done on such tight deadline, with such polished work! Presentation truly is everything.

(Murder Drones Episode 7 spoilers!)

THEY CHANGED THE INTRO V IS OFFICIALLY DEAD FUNERAL'S ON THURSDAY

Cult. It's a cult. This is definitely a cult. They probably don't even realize it but it is undeniably some kind of cult.

Nori what are you doing. Nori why are you like this.

The cross is a USB??

They're keeping the Drones themselves in the lockers??

Of course the unpaid intern whose opinion doesn't matter is the only one with any sympathy for them.

Pink Solver core?? SOLVER LIZZY?!?

Ah great, the Envy shippers are gonna be using this as "proof" that he's still in love with V.

HE IMMEDIATELY APOLOGIZED HE LOVES HER SO MUCH

Tessa. Stop. I was willing to give you the benefit of a doubt but you're not doing yourself any favours.

And now she's being racist. Way to go.

"The power of a black hole in the palm of my hand."

SEE TESSA ALL YOU DID WAS MAKE EVERYTHING WORSE

THEY'RE BACK THAD AND LIZZY ARE FINALLY RELEVANT AGAIN

Did they change Thad's VA? He sounds different.

Was that V? Is she already back?

N BABY NO DON'T SAY THAT YOU DON'T DESERVE THIS

Eldritch V??

I can't wait for people to meme about his perfectly cut scream there.

Not going near the corpse. Smart move.

Cyn stop. Cyn stop. CYN STOP PLEASE I'M BEGGING I WANT YOU TO BE SYMPATHETIC

She hugged him. That's probably a good thing, right? That's probably proof that the real Cyn is still in there somewhere, right? THAT PROBABLY MEANS SHE MISSES HIM AND IS GENUINELY SORRY RIGHT

Nothin' like a good old-fashioned Robot Uprising Apocalypse, eh? In other news, Skynet is suing the Solver for copyright infringement.

Those admin privileges comin' in handy. Unfortunately they don't do much in the physical world.

Uzi has absolutely no reason to be crawling and scuttling around like a creature right now except for the simple fact that she wants to. Never change, little gremlin.

Oh I don't think you should watch that. N was right, y'know, there's probably stuff down here you don't wanna see.

Why does this remind me of the garbage maze in FNaF Security Breach?

Okay so it's not some kind of disembodied Solver Lizzy core. Don't blame me, the lights looked pink before and the cat ears headphones reminded me of Lizzy's bow.

Familiar?? Nori??? DID N ACTUALLY KILL YOU AND WHY AREN'T YOU BRITISH/MOMMY LONG LEGS

Khan? A hunk? In the words of Professor Membrane, NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE!!!

"How do you know my daughter?" "Well y'see, it all started when we tried to kill each other..."

Oh it was J. Is it bad to say I'm kind of relieved?

Are we getting the cool edgy Khan from the concept art??? Bro why are you so nonchalant about it being the end of the world.

INB4 people go frame-by-frame through the list looking for the most Russian-sounding name and say "THERE, THAT'S DOLL'S DAD"

Tessa was that really necessary? You're giving really bad vibes right now.

Patch? So the Solver can be removed? And she knows? Again, major bad vibes.

*FNaF 2 Foxy jumpscare*

I'm starting to suspect Yeva either can't or chooses not to talk.

Is she saying the Solver wiped her memory of the labs? I guess that would explain a few things.

N being so polite and cute as always.

What do you mean, "found its way back?" Where did it go? Is the timeline completely wrong? Did it start on Copper-9 then go to Earth then return to Copper-9? I'm so confused.

Nori why are you so casual about the prospect of your own daughter being a planet-eating eldritch abomination. This is exactly why I'm worried about the fandom giving you the Rose Quartz treatment.

I told you not to watch it, Uzi.

Welp, so much for Doll. Consider this karma for killing V. But "fight back?" Does that mean it can be resisted?

So now we know where Uzi gets it from.

Tessa no. Tessa stop. Tessa STOP. TESSA STOP YOU'RE NOT EVEN TRYING TO PRETEND TO HELP ANYMORE

YEAH N SAVE YOUR GIRLFRIEND

Whoa, didn't see that coming. No face reveal?? Does that mean she really is a Drone???

WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LET THEM BE HAPPY

Imagine meeting your daughter for the first time and she's currently being possessed by an eldritch abomination masquerading as her boyfriend's dead sister.

Every time I think this episode's about to end on a cliffhanger it doesn't.

EVEN WHEN SHE'S BEING POSSESSED BY AN ELDRITCH ABOMINATION MASQUERADING AS HIS DEAD SISTER HE WOULD RATHER DIE THAN LET HER BE HURT AND IT WAS ENOUGH TO SNAP HER OUT OF IT FOR LIKE HALF A SECOND HOW COULD ANYBODY SAY THEY'RE NOT IN LOVE

Oh no, now people are gonna write fics about Nori being vored by her own daughter.

"Hang out" is code for "date." "Hang out" is code for "boyfriend and girlfriend." "Hang out" is code for "madly in love with each other." "HANG OUT" IS CODE FOR "WE MAKE SWEET AND PASSIONATE LOVE TOGETHER EVERY SINGLE NIGHT WE'RE ALREADY PLANNING THE WEDDING AND I'M GONNA WEAR THE DRESS AND WE'RE GONNA NAME OUR KIDS GLOCK AND BAYONET"

Literally smacked the sense back into her.

Imagine meeting your mom for the first time and you don't know who she is and she's a gross little fleshy crab-spider-thing similar to what your boyfriend's jerk boss turned into so you punt her into a bottomless pit and she makes a dodgeball noise.

LOOK AT HER REACTION SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT "HANG OUT" IS CODE FOR SHE JUST DIDN'T REALIZE HE THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY TOO

My last two brain cells while watching this episode. Now would be a really good time for you two to kiss.

Oh good gosh she's not dead. Okay it wasn't at all necessary to put your head on backwards.

CYN IS HUMAN NOW??? OR IS SHE WEARING TESSA'S BODY LIKE ENNARD DID WITH MICHAEL

NO JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE ALREADY

Sorry J but you're still not plot relevant yet, you're not allowed to participate.

J: *sees the railgun* *has war flashbacks*

UZI YOU CAN'T SACRIFICE YOURSELF RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM AND TELL HIM TO "DIE MAD" AS YOUR LAST WORDS THAT IS LITERALLY NOT OKAY

*Uzi falls* *screen fades to white* *UNDERTALE*

The Void???

Glitch I beg of you please don't make us wait another half a year for the next episode. And Liam please don't let it end after one season.

ARCANE ACT 3

LIVEBLOG TIME! 🎉🎉

(Once again, more like a reaction then a live blog but sssh)

S2 Ep8: Killing Is A Cycle

Mel in the Ebenezer Scrooge chains again (I know it was Jacob Marley that was in the chains throughout but still) :(

THIS TRANSFORMATION IS SO COOL.

Would be a bit cooler if she wasn't screaming bloody murder throughout but I get it.

They really took some of the excellent bits of her design and decided to really lean into them more for this.

I kind of wish the internet hadn't fucked over the word "empath" cause that made me giggle.

We can't see the sorceress from here but is she meant to resemble the girl from Mel's backstory?

I need to stop pausing to say this immediately before it happens.

Okay so it isn't her, duly noted. I would suck in a fight against this thing.

Did it really say "yeah you're cool but you can still be stabbed, so how powerful are you actually 🙄🙄".

Calamity and Red seem to be associated strongly cause I immediately thought of Breath of the Wild.

I'm living for this backstory.

She must be so cold.

It's all coming back :((

OH SHIT VIKTOR'S IN THE ORB NOW.

God. That's terrifying. Viktor is suddenly extremely terrifying to me.

I'm surprised Ambessa isn't remotely surprised at him mentioning Jayce. He was probably missing for months at this point.

"I will evolve all those willing" so everyone? Everyone in your cult, Viktor? Because they're a literal hivemind so I doubt he'd have much problem.

VI I MISSED YOU.

YOU DID NOT HAVE TO HAVE THAT ISHA FLASHBACK OMG:((

Why does it look like a pokeball? That's so distracting lol

God Maddie is failing across the board, it's embarrassing, girl...

This argument between Cait and Vi was so deserved to be honest.

Maddie is probably hearing all of this...

I never considered Jinx would surrender.

Is Jinx not eating?

Damn what if you just punched me in the gut wow...

Her nails bleeding HURT me so much

"no amount of good deeds can undo OUR crimes" I'm so interested in the "our" from Caitlyn....

Jayce, love ya, but I am not on your side in this argument.

Although, Mel I think calling him and Viktor a "wise investment" in this moment is probably not the move either but still

I was slightly concerned that Jayce's flashbacks (? Would that be the right term for these) would stop once Viktor was "killed". Apparently not.

I'm happy for this turnabout.

I thought in Act 2 he reminded me of S1 Jinx and I'm pushing with that idea now.

Oh nevermind. He almost shot Viktor again.

I know it is very likely one of his followers and not actually Viktor, but damn that robot waist line lmao

Poor Mel probably has very little clue what's going on right now.

I'm distracted by Jayce's design tbh. The black and red colour scheme is sooo nice on his new look.

....

...Well that caught me off guard...

He STILL wants Jayce to be his partner WHAT :'(

"My partner died in this room." OUCH

MEL, MY GIRL!!! 👏👏👏👏

I want to be more enthusiastic for her, but she looks borderline in pain whenever she uses her magic so far :((

WHY ARE YOU PURPLE, JAYCE??

WAIT SO WAS VIKTOR WAITING TO SEE IF JAYCE WOULD JOIN HIM BEFORE STARTING THE EVOLUTION?

After last episode I legitimately, for a second, thought Silco was still alive.

He's not a nice person at all obviously, but in Jinx's hallucination he seems to sound harsher to her?

I did not need to see her spit that out up close.

Wait. It actively fell from her mouth where is it?

O W

I AM SO SCARED, JINX. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO "BREAK THE CYCLE"

Is there a reason Mel needs to wear the cloak?

"You will never be a passenger". Listen , I was actually hoping for more from my Jayce and Mel interactions. Both scenes they feel very off-kilter and standoffish of each other. A lot more tense then before (for understandable reasons considering what they both just went through) that I was hoping would start to heal.... but has'nt. However, that line hit.

I am obsessed with the designs of these background characters.

Am I missing something? Who is that playing that random piano??

I feel bad. I don't recognise him.

This entire sequence hurts.

OH. Wait I think I get the inclusion of the piano man. I hope I do otherwise I've just completely forgotten a character lol

Bullying

All characters in this piece of fiction are adults.

A sequel of sorts to this piece about Tristan, Bradley, and Rayne.

*

"So you wanna be bullied, huh?" Tristan says. He pushes Bradley up against the front door, pinning him there and getting right in his face. Bradley tips his head back and parts his lips like he's expecting a kiss.

Tristan doesn't give him one. He stays an inch away, breathing over Bradley's face, into his mouth. "You want someone to push you around?"

Bradley scoffs. "Oh, please, like that comes as a surprise." He's leaning into the ballsy, bratty attitude that he loves so much, trying to pretend that he's unaffected, but Tristan can see his eyes getting darker, can feel the beginning of an erection pushing against his hip.

The cool spring breeze nips at the back of Tristan's neck, cold on the bare strip of skin between the collar of his jacket and his hair. (It's too long, Rayne keeps telling him, but she also loves grabbing onto it when he's going down on her, so he's receiving mixed messages.) He really should move this inside; he already has his key in the lock and everything.

But it's late, past midnight. The neighbourhood is quiet. The porch light is off. Even if someone does walk past, all they'll see is the silhouettes of two men on the front step. They won't see Bradley's open mouth and pleading eyes. They won't see Tristan's hand slipping down the back of his jeans to squeeze his ass.

It all began innocently enough, people at the party they were just at talking about their high school experiences. About asshole teachers and Shakespeare and faking sick to get out of dodgeball. About robotics club and favourite classes and travelling to away games. Run-ins with bullies.

"It wasn't bad," Bradley said. "It was just -- locker room stuff, you know? I was a jock and all, but I was, y'know, tall and shy and obviously queer. They just used to --" He met Tristan's gaze and flushed a sudden, violent red and made a noise like he had swallowed his tongue. "Sorry. Went down the wrong way," he said, and Tristan smirked because he hadn't even been drinking anything. "They just used to shove me around. Get me into headlocks, threaten me with swirlies." His throat bobbed when he swallowed. He hadn't looked away from Tristan for a second. "Kid stuff."

"You wanna be back in high school, baby?" Tristan says now. He rubs a finger over the crack of Bradley's ass, pushing against the soft cotton of his briefs, like he could finger him right through them. "All the boys on the football team crowding around you, shoving you into your locker?"

Bradley's laugh is tight, forced, fake. "I was on the swim team," he says. "And there is no amount of money you could pay me that would make me go back to high school."

Bradley now, in his early twenties, is lanky and awkward; Tristan can't imagine how much worse it must have been when he was a teenager. It makes something inside him feel soft and fond, imagining Bradley tripping over his own feet, dealing with voice cracks, trying to work out his place in the world.

"What?" Bradley says. He gets a hand up between them and rubs at his face self-consciously. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Because he's sweet, cute, so adorable it makes Tristan's teeth ache. But he can't say any of that right now. It's not what Bradley wants to hear.

He pinches the curve of Bradley's ass, right at the leg hole of his briefs, hard enough that he knows there'll be a pink mark left there for later, when they finally make it inside and he undresses Bradley in the dim light of his bedroom. "You deserved it, didn't you?" he says. Bradley's tongue flicks over his lips, wetting them. "I bet you used to push for it." He cups Bradley's ass, kneading it hard. "Used to annoy them, get in their faces until they made you pay."

Bradley's breath is coming in wet little pants, but he's still all bravado, raising his eyebrows and jutting his chin out. "Is that what you want?" he says. "Want me to give you an excuse to make me pay?"

Tristan chuckles and snaps the elastic waistband of Bradley's underwear. "Oh honey," he says. "What makes you think I need an excuse?"

Bradley arches his back, pressing into Tristan's hand as it goes back to kneading his ass. "Go on then," he says. "Show me what you've got." His sudden smile is sharp and sharklike, light glinting off his incisors. "I'll tell you this much," he says. "None of 'em ever played grab-ass like this."

Tristan can't help breaking character. "It is very grabbable," he says, getting another handful and digging his fingers in hard to make his point. Bradley squirms like he's being tickled. "God, the first time I spanked you, the way it bounced under my hand..."

Bradley giggles -- fucking giggles. The breathless anticipation is gone, replaced by something much softer, something much more playful. He leans in to nip the side of Tristan's neck. "You can do it again." His mouth moves to Tristan's ear, teeth grazing its lobe. "If you ask real nice."

Tristan shifts his grip so he's holding onto a fistful of Bradley's underwear rather than his ass. "I don't have to ask," he growls, and he's not laughing, he's not, that would ruin the whole tough Dom thing he has going on right now. Bradley's biting his lip, trying not to smile, and Tristan is so gone on this kid. "I can just take what I want."

Bradley licks his lips and, just like that, his smile is gone, replaced by his teeth digging into his lower lip, nervous, excited. "Prove it," he says.

Tristan tightens his fist and yanks upwards, pulling Bradley's underwear right up the crack of his ass, hard and painful. He doesn't remember the last time he gave someone a wedgie. It's so stupid, it's so juvenile. It's laughable, really...

Bradley isn't laughing.

He makes a single soft sound, a guttural uh right from the pit of his stomach.

His eyes are wide. His mouth is open.

He looks like he does when he's about to come.

Bradley grabs the front of Tristan's jacket, twisting the fabric in his fists. He sways into Tristan, like he can't stay upright on his own. "I'm gonna --" He blinks, eyes unfocused. "I'm gonna need you to do that again." He pulls at Tristan's jacket, like a little kid trying to get their parent's attention. "Harder."

Tristan hadn't expected this. He though Bradley would jump. He thought he would yelp in shock and outrage. That he would try to call Tristan an idiot while laughing too hard to speak.

This --

This is so much better.

"Tell me you deserve it," Tristan says, and now he kisses Bradley, open-mouthed, swallowing his responding whimper. He's so warm against Tristan's body. "Say please."

*

After, standing in the bathroom and brushing their teeth --

(After. After pinning Bradley to the door and making him beg. After pulling on his underwear until they were digging into his crack and balls and making his breath catch like he was about to sob. After making him come in his pants without Tristan even needing to touch his dick.)

Bradley spits into the sink and says, "Do you think we would have been friends in high school?"

Tristan grins at him around his toothbrush. "You were probably too cool for me, little Miss Swim Team," he says. "I was a theatre nerd. You should have seen me. Rehearsals every weekend, singing showtunes in the hall with my friends." He grabs Bradley by the back of the neck and, uncaring of the toothpaste foaming in both their mouths, reels him in for a minty kiss. "I knew all the words to Rent."

Bradley turns away from him to rinse his mouth. He's still wearing his underwear, bunched up in his ass, the crotch sticky with come. Tristan shouldn't find it as hot as he does. "Maybe we would have had a Romeo-and-Juliet thing going," he says. "The whole forbidden love thing." He turns and shoots a cheeky grin over his shoulder. "Or, you know, we would have, if you hadn't gone to high school a million years ago."

Tristan moves before he can laugh -- Rayne is the only other person he knows who makes him laugh as often and as easily as Bradley does -- and he pins Bradley to the sink. He grinds against his ass, grabs his underwear again, and tugs at them. A tease, a threat, a promise. Bradley's young, Tristan can probably get another orgasm out of him before they go to bed.

[earthsparked]

Autistic Female Reader x Airachnid (From like the Tf One continuity) Anon is back, just wanna info-dump some stuff I made for it.

. The Female reader’s name doesn’t really matter but my personal name for her is Ripley (Yes, her name is an alien movie reference). Ripley’s in her early twenties and she works as a Mail clerk for Hybrid Technologies (Also yes this takes place in the 80s weeee). Ripley is, of course Autistic and a lesbian. She likes watching movies and collecting magazines.

Ripley hates her job; she just wants to work with animals. Ripley doesn’t have many friends (When I say not many, I mean the Janitor is nice to her, he’s her only human friend ☹) and she isn’t used to talking to other people, so she likes to take long walks in the woods and tends to take stuff she finds pretty……. Which leads us to Airachnid……

.  What I’m personally going with is that after serving a lengthy prison sentence, Airachid was released early because of the war and joined the female autobots (Also known as the shield of Solus, That’s a cool name, but that’s just my opinion).

Airachid found it extremely difficult to fit in with her fellow comrades due to her past and lack of proper social skills (I’m going with a personal interpretation that she’s a sociopath, I’m not diagnosing her cus I’m not a medical professional I’m just an autistic loser that simps over a fictional robot spider lady). After getting into a physical altercation with Greenlight, she decided to leave on a small ship and travel somewhere far away….and with her (Not so!) rotten luck, she crash-lands on earth in a forest area.

. Ripley ends up finding the ship during a late-night walk and drags the unconscious Airachid home (It took a long time lol). Ripley’s aware about the Transformer conflict on earth, but she doesn’t see an insignia on Airachid and gets worried that she just brought back a Decepticon to her house (Or garage) but Ripley decides to deal with it later and go to bed, with her reasoning is “Oh well, I’ve got nothing going for me, so if I’m going to die at least it’s in a cool way” (Wait that got dark quickly). Then Airachid wakes up at 3 Am and I ran out of ideas for this part so I’m gonna move on.

. Airachid has a  Holoform (aka Holomatter) that she uses to go to places with Ripley. She, surprisingly enough, enjoys being in her Holoform. She isn’t sure why she likes it. Ripley also convinced her to get into crochet- so now she has a bunch of crochet spider web lying around that she hoards in the garage.

That’s it I think🤷‍♀️

That’s a great story you have going, Anon! I love it! Heh, setting things in the 80s is a lot of fun. It removes so many issues you have to deal with in modern day.

You’re really creative! I enjoyed reading your ideas. If you ever decide to turn it into a fic, send a link! ❤️

Panic Attack - Just Us Chapter 8

Warnings: Panic Attacks

Word Count: 2261

Series List | Chapter 7 | Chapter 9

================================

Ding. The elevator doors opened to the penthouse, as I breathed out a happy sigh a smile still plastered on my face. Taking my shoes off I didn't notice the figure in the living room moving towards me.

"Someone looks happy." The voice made me jump out of my skin.

"Holy Shit! Don't fucking do that. I nearly had a heart attack." I held one hand to my heart while the other smacked the man in front of me chest. 

"Wouldn't be the first time." 

"Har har Tony. Very funny." I glare at him playfully, so he puts his hands up in surrender. 

"No hug for me? No hey papa T?" He wiggles his eyebrows as he speaks.

"No, because you scared me, you don't deserve the niceties." I gently bump his shoulder as I walk past so he knows I'm not actually mad.

"Well you have my deepest apologies. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm here with good news and on business." He follows me into the kitchen as I start up the coffee machine, turning to face him. I gesture to him silently asking if he wants one, he nods his head excitedly. Of course he wants coffee. 

"Business first Papa T. You know me." He sends me one of those Tony Stark business smiles, that seem to win anyone over.

"So talking business, the new and improved Da Vinci medical Robot. You know the one, your team helped to upgrade last quarter. Well everyone seems to love it better than the original, and the original creators can't be more thankful. They want to keep working with you, something about. The future of medicine." He waves his hand to emphasise his point. "So what do you think? Do you want to work alongside them?"

"Let's set up a meeting, see what ideas they have floating about and then we can decide."

"Perfect, I will get Pepper on it." I nod as I hand him his freshly brewed coffee. "And now the good news."

"That's all the business for today?" Normally there's lots more...oh well I'm not complaining. 

"Yeah, you have caught up with everything, so at the moment we are at an all time high and could probably bring in a few new people and that."

"Cool."

"Anyway the good news."

"Yes the good news." 

"They found him." I choke on my coffee not expecting that to be the good news.

"They found him?" It comes out as a very small whisper, tears already brimming my eyes. "After two years?" 

"Yeah, they finally got him." He grabs my hand that's on the counter giving it a gentle squeeze as I lose myself to inner turmoil again, but feeling Tony's hand on mine brings me back and I clear my throat.

"And the evidence? Is it enough? Is he going down for what he did? Have they really got him?" I have so many questions and I can't decide which ones to ask.

"They really got him Y/n. There's plenty of evidence. He is going down." He emphasises the last sentence. "He is going to be held in jail till the trial and even then the lawyers truly believe he will get a life sentence." 

A life sentence holy shit! I mean I've waited 2 years for this news. Now that I have it I don't know what to do with it. I should be happy. Like over the fucking moon happy. Open a bottle of champagne and get so fucking drunk I don't remember the night before. Yes, that happy! But I don't think I am. I'm mean shit. 2 fucking years, and I feel...numb. Well numb, and everything! How the fuck is that possible. How can I feel so many emotions at once, but feel so fucking numb about this whole thing?! It makes no fucking sense. NO FUCKING SENSE!

"Hey, hey. Woah, woah, woah. Y/n? Y/n I need you to breathe for me. Can you do that?" I hadn't realised that my breathing was erratic and tears were falling out my eyes like it was going out of fashion. 

My eyes pinged around the room trying to find something to focus on, but as soon as they stopped at one thing my inner turmoil got worse so I kept my eyes moving. I tried identifying things in the room that my eyes could settle on for more than a second, nothing was working. I couldn't ground myself in this world. I felt like I was watching from out of my body, watching myself slowly lose the battle against the turmoil of my brain. The outside world is getting smaller and smaller. Darker and darker. 

I jump when I feel someone's hand on me, I don't recognise their touch. I push myself away from whoever has their hands on me. However, I end up tripping over my own feet as I travel backwards, stumbling down to the floor. Of course on the way down to the floor I hit the side of my face on the kitchen counter, ending up on my back on the floor. I feel someone grab my arms, I know deep down they are trying to help but once again I push them off of me. I scramble along the floor, my butt sliding across the tiled floor, my legs working overtime to push me back frantically. I feel my back hit the kitchen counter, but I'm still not far enough away...I push myself along the counter, until I feel the corner and tuck myself down into it.

I pull my knees as tight as possible against my chest, wrapping both arms around them and pulling them impossibly closer to my chest. I place my forehead between my knees, my body slightly bouncing back and forth...or shaking: I can't quite tell. I hear a muffled voice, but can't make out what they are saying. It sounds like I'm underwater, it feels like the room is collapsing in on me. The air pushed out of my lungs and I am unable to get any air back in.

I don't know how long I've been here, but I feel a different pair of hands on me. These ones are very different, soft, gentle and hold onto my calfs just above my ankles. I recognise this touch. They slowly move up to my knee and then back down, then slowly back up again. I then feel the hands move from my knees to my elbows and they follow my arms up to my shoulders. The hands then travel back down my arms, all the way to my hands which I'm pretty sure are stuck against my clothes with how tight I am holding onto them. My knuckles are obviously white from the pressure, still lost...but the hands. I can feel the hands. I'm not jumping back. That's good. I recognise them. I do. I recognise them.

The gentle hands wrap cautiously around mine, slowly squeezing them with the tiniest bit of pressure. Both of mine relax almost instantly. The owner of the hands starts to speak, but I still can't hear anything. They obviously notice this, because their hands move back up to my shoulders across to my neck and then to my cheeks. They slowly lift my hand so my eyes can meet theirs, it's hard to see with how many tears my eyes are filled with but I recognise them enough. A gentle smile tugs at the blonde's face as she sees me reacting to her and her actions. 

"I'm going to move your hand to my chest. Is that okay?" 

"Mhmm." I can't say anything else, not even a nod. Just an approving hum. 

"Okay." She grabs my right hand and brings it to the center of her chest where I can feel her heartbeat and her chest rising and falling with each breath. "You feel that? Try and copy it for me with your own breath. Concentrate on nothing else but what your hand is feeling, look at my face or close your eyes. But concentrate on what your hand is telling you." 

So I do. In. Out. In. Out. She is slowing her breathing down, it must be working. If she is slowing hers down more it means mine is slowly getting to some sort of normal. 

In.

Out.

In.

Out.

"You're doing so well. Keep going. I'm so proud of you, you're doing so great. Do you think you can speak?" 

"Y...ye...yeah."

"Good, good. You're doing amazing. Can you answer my questions?"

"Yeah." I breathe out.

"Okay. Name me 5 things you can see."

"Uhm...You...My hand...The floor...The counter...My feet." 

"Good, you're doing great. Now name me 4 things you can hear?" 

"Your voice. My voice. The radio station. And, uhm, my breathing." 

"Amazing. Now 3 things you can feel."

"The floor, your chest, my clothes."

"Great, you're doing so well. Now two things you can smell."

"I smell...uhm...my perfume and...uhm...coffee."

"Thats it keep breathing,  your doing so well for me y/n. Now the last one. One thing you can taste."

"My toothpaste." I let out one last breath. I finally feel like I'm back in my body, and back in control of it, almost. "Thank you Carol."

"Of course." She moves her hand to stroke my cheek getting rid of some of the drying tears now I've finally stopped crying.

"You didn't have to come, I would have sorted myself out soon enough." She now places her other hand on my other cheek moving my face up a bit so she can look me right in the eye.

"Now listen to me. I am your sister! Of course I will help you. No matter where I am, I will always come and help you. Always. Tony couldn't seem to pull you out of it, so he called me."

"Thank you." I didn't really know what else to say, there's nothing else I could say. "Is Papa T still here?"

"Yeah I'm still here kid." I look up to see him leaning against the kitchen counter, obvious worry spread across his face.

"I'm sorry Papa T. I didn't mean to scare you." 

"You didn't scare me, you just worried me and I seemed to make it worse." 

"Uhm...yeah. It was the touching. I lose myself in my head and when someone touches me, if I don't recognise their touch then my body reacts in such a way. I don't know why, it just does." I shrug my shoulders, I don't know how else to explain it. 

"It's okay, I understand. Just tell me how I can help, so if you have another in front of me I know what to do." He bends down to my height giving me a loving smile. 

"We can work on it. It's all about touch. We don't really hug or anything but we shake hands, so that's where we can start. Thank you Papa T." 

"Of course. That's why I called your sister. I didn't know what else to do. Do they happen often? The panic attacks?" Tony's curious eyes meet mine, that I'm sure are red and puffy.

"They used to. I haven't had one in a while, a long while. Maybe 6 months or so." I start to climb off the floor, my bum now very numb and cold. 

"Do you know what caused it?" Carol asks gently. 

"Papa T gave me some news. Good news. But the emotions caused inner turmoil and I sort of just lost myself to it all. It sort of just took over, and then spiraled."

"What's the news?" Carol asks as she wraps an arm around my back. 

"I will let Papa T tell you, I am going to go to bed. I'm exhausted after that one, I need rest. How long was I 'gone' for?"

"About 30 minutes.' Papa T informs me. Holy Shit! That's a big fucking panic attack, no wonder I feel like I could sleep for days.

"Okay let me help you to bed, I will come back down in a second Tony don't go anywhere." Carol rubs my back up and down. "Come let's get you upstairs." 

"I love you Y/n." I hear Tony's voice call over.

"Love you too Papa T." I call over my shoulder. I feel Carol move to look at him.

"Thank you Tony, you do so much for her. I will be down in a minute."

"Okay."

With that Carol leads me upstairs and into my room. I feel so tired I can hardly move, so Carol is practically manhandling her own sister, me,  into bed. I feel so useless. 

"I'm sorry." I mumble down to her.

"Don't ever be sorry for things you can't control. I am your sister. I love you. I will always be here for you. So please don't apologise." 

"Okay, well I'm sorry for being sorry."

"Good." We both giggle. She lays me down and tucks me in. "Comfortable?"

"Yes...thank you." I mumble into my pillow. 

"Always." She goes to move off the bed, but I grab her hand.

"I love you Carol." She swipes some hair out of my face.

"I love you too Y/n." She pecks me on the forehead. "Now get some sleep". 

As soon as I hear her close the door, I settle more into my bed sinking into the pillows and many cushions. I let out a large breath, losing myself to sleep.

[stories-about-you]

Ello again. It's me, the Angel of Stories anon, and I came up with another idea. This idea is inspired by a digital horror series called Interloper or SKY//BOX on YouTube (YOU SHOULD SO WATCH IT IT'S GOOD). Basically the idea is that reader is essentially a special type of npc that can realistically interact with the world and has advanced movements and AI. What makes them even more special is that they're actually sentient and can sometimes escape the confines of their model and roam freely between Source Engine games. So maybe for this scenario, gn reader got trapped in a scrapped model from Stanley Parable's source code, often appearing out of nowhere in strange places within the game as a result (ex: half stuck in a wall somewhere just barely in view of Stanley). So their unauthorized presence causes glitches, and Narrator man gets incredibly frustrated with the disturbance that he pulls that model back into the Parable to delete it, but suddenly finds out that it's sentient and actually responds to him, using his own audio files or that text-to-speech robot voice. And then they become friens :) oh and fun fact about that special type of npc that reader is: they tend to be scared of any man in a black suit carrying a black umbrella for... reasons :)

So yeah, this is really long and really specific that atp I should just write it myself but I'm more curious to see this piece come to life from your metaphorical pen. And also because as someone who used to do requests too, I got overly happy whenever someone sent me one, so I'm also doing this in hopes that it has the same effect on u :)

Oh and yeah, gn reader, platonic hcs if you will :) Feel free to take your time or ignore this one entirely (*￣∇￣*)

agagaga thank u for the requests really! It's really sweet of u (*ゝω・)ﾉThanks!

I'll try writing maybe? Shorter things for this one

☆being the npc that you are, you could do a lot of cool things! switch between source engines, different games, maps...anything you could get yourself into

★but one thing you could do whenever you wanted, is watch your two favourite people, Stanley and his Narrator

☆they always seemed like they had fun....most of the time atleast, if the voice wasn't bickering at Stanley about his wrong choices, and today, you wanted to see them up close!

★coming into the game without notice, like usual, you watched them from behind a window, where most players would see the other Stanley

☆but, maybe you weren't supposed to come this close to them, because your vessel started clipping through the wall, mostly your arm

★when Stanley noticed you, he stopped, shocked, this confused The Narrator, asking Stanley about the abrupt stop

☆to which he then also noticed you, trying to pull back your glitched vessel from the wall in frustration, he immediately spawned Stanley into the broom closet and locked the door, worried you might be a virus

★The Narrator was now reminded of how many glitches had appeared in the Parable recently, to which he immediately knew was your doing, he felt anger rising up in him as he spawned you properly in the game, The Mind Control room0

☆spawning in, he went on about how you caused him so much trouble and pain with the glitches, and how you "interrupted his story on purpose", which of course, wasn't your intention

★he then mentioned how he was going to delete you for being such a nuisance to him and the game itself, you tried moving, but couldn't, you then thought of the one thing you could do, talk

☆you talked, you honestly forgot you could, using scrapped voice lines that were supposed to be from Stanley's employees, you got your hands on them a while back but never had a use for them, until now

★you screamed, beg for him not to hurt you, saying how you didn't mean for any of this, glitching like crazy as you exclaimed

☆he froze again in shock, staring down at you, he didn't even know vessel's like you could talk since you're not registered in the game at all

★after more screaming he decided he would spawn you in with Stanley, saying he'll decide later what to do with you

☆Stanley jumped as you were spawned in, you sat, trying to calm your racing nerves by taking deep breathes, he gives a little wave to you and a soft smile, you do the same back after a second

★after about 2 hours of you trying to communicate with Stanley through glitchy voice clips, Narrator comes back, saying he was discussing with the higher ups what he should do with you, to which one declared that he should keep you as a second protagonist

☆Narrator said he found it preposterous, saying one protagonist is already so much work keeping in line, but still reluctantly agreed, saying the higher ups would like it better if the game had two protagonists, maybe even thinking making multiple player modes

★so over time, you did the runs with Stanley, with The Narrator guiding you two as usual, but since your vessel is adjusting to be only in the Parable, you had some problems with glitching which Stanley and Narrator needed to help you with at times

☆you noticed The Narrator becoming more...fond of you? you thought was kinda weird since just a few months ago he was trying to delete you

★soon he was even asking for requests if you wanted anything specific in the story, or sharing unfinished scripts, you asked why he doesn't show it to Stanley, and only you, to which he replied "I think your feedback is better, and you can actually appreciate good work, unlike him" which caused you to laugh a little

Haii, Sosaaa! Okay, so i wanna get into animation BUT I'm really new. Lucky for me I know someone who's awesome at animating (that's you btw) so I need your expertise. What program do you use, and also do you have any tips for a newbie?

Aww Jay, you flatter me~✨but before answering I must put the disclaimer that I'm just a hobbyst animator with no formal training, that during quarintine thought "Oh woah, these Multiple Animation Projects that people do in YT are so cool! I want to join them!" and started learning by herself. Take everything I say with a grain of salt.

First things first: I mainly use TV Paint. However I'm not letting you spent money on paid stuff you don't even know you'll like, so here are some free alternatives that I've used as well:

Krita is mostly a drawing program, but it also has a animation interface. The red and black parts of the Helena AMV were made with this.

Flipaclip is kinda neat phone/tablet app for when you want to animate on the go, but it can also feel more limiting since various features have to be unlocked by watching ads or getting the premuim version (in typical app fashion, I guess...)

Blender, while mainly meant for 3D animation, also has been developing Grease Pencil, that allows 2d animation in both 2D or 3D spaces. And the lines are vectors, so you can edit them after drawing them and such.

You can even use normal drawing programs. I've animated with Paint Tool Sai and Medibang by drawing all the frames, saving each frame as a image in sequence (001, 002, 003...) and putting them together in some editing program or gif maker. It's possible, but it's more work.

There's also OpenToonz, which is an open source version of the software used by Studio Ghibli in some movies?? I haven't used this one, but I'll leave it here in case you want to give it a try.

For editing (In the rare scenarios where I do fancy editing) I use After Effects. I can't personally recommend any free substitute, but as far as I've read, DaVinci Resolve seems like a good replacement.

Now, regarding actual animation advise, I won't explain the principles or terminology because:

It's very overwhelming since it's A LOT of information, specially for a beginner

I work mostly by vibes, so there are concepts I don't undertand well enough to explain to others

Instead I'll foward you this whole book that goes in detail about all that technical stuff.

That being said, at the end of the day, hand-drawn animation is drawing main poses (aka key poses) and then drawing a bunch of more drawings in between until the drawings together look like they move.

So yeah, it's a lot of work,

....but it doesn't have to be tedious work~ 👀✨

As a hobbyst I live for the philosophy of vibing during the process instead of chasing perfect results, and I'm assuming that you just want to try for funsies and not that you're trying to become a pro industry animator anyways. Here are my personal tips to make the animation process more bearable:

1- Pick something you love! Seriously, any long task becomes more bearable when it's about a theme or character you enjoy. There's a reason why most of my animations have been about HnK or Signalis,

2- SIMPLIFY THAT DESIGN! Before you even pick the pencil, I want you to really look at the design of whatever you're going to animate and ask yourself "Are all the details in this design really necessary?" Every extra detail really starts to add when you have to draw the same thing multiple times for a single second of animation. You don't need to add all the robotic details on replika bodies, or draw every single stripe a tiger has, to put an example.

3- Keep it simple! At some point you might have a cool idea of an anime style epic battle with looks of cool explosions, camera angles, awesome fighting choreograpies and whatnot; but you first have to start small or else you'll get overwhelmed and not finish anything (been there, done that). Start with something simple like a bouncing ball, or if you're feeling brave, a walk cycle or a character turning their head. In that same sense, remember the book I linked? Don't try to learn all of it at once, go one step at a time.

4-Use references! On google images there are multiples breakdowns of things like run, flight or walk cycles, for example, and you can even use youtube videos! (tip: pause the video and use "," and "." to move back and forth between frames). In case you need help with a very specific pose or movement, you can use yourself or a friend recreating the pose irl (yes, the process is very embarrasing, and yes, the results are worth it)

4- You don't have to animate/redraw everything everytime. We aren't going for Oscar winning levels of animation here anyways. It's ok to copy and paste across different frames, only animate certain parts of the body and leave the rest static, panning the camera to simulate movement... Listen, if actual standars profesionals cut corners, why can't we? We aren't even getting paid for this!

6- It's ok to suck at first. My first animation was this kitty back in 2016,

and here's this Elster from last year doing similar movements.

It's not perfect by any means, but I feel like both art and animation-wise there has been some improvement. And I guess that right now I could remake it and make it even better, but that's because I got more experience and a better eye at finding mistakes and how to solve them, and you get that with practice.

...So yeah, there's that, have fun in your animation endeavors 👍✨

[thenamesblurrito]

answering some TF:ONE asks under the cut!

i could SWEAR he transformed once. i remember thinking the first time round 'oh cool alt mode shape' but i don't remember when. i may have hallucinated it. hang on lets see if it's cropped up online yet

whelp damnation the wiki says he never transforms and i trust the wiki 😔 we were robbed

Starscream forming the foundation of the future cons is a REALLY GOOD MOVE for me personally bc it lends so much credence to his constant vies for power. he's not an upstart trying to dethrone his leader, he's the one trying to TAKE BACK his position after a coup that he was beaten into going along with!! extremely fascinating take i want to know everything about this Starscream tbh

i have heard this is supposed to be a trilogy so i'm stoked about that. i think if it does get a show it would have to be a side character kind of show ala Rescue Bots OR an "in between movies" plot ala Clone Wars or something, bc i don't think a show alone could really follow up to a movie like this

i mean these guys are my blorbos, my silly little demigod family ancient dead idiots, so i am naturally THRILLED to see them and so lovingly rendered aaaaaaaaaaaaa <<33 Zeta threw me bc it was an odd choice to fill in for the Thirteenth and not Logos, Autonomous Maximus, even one of the Guiding Hand, etc, but these guys constantly change and shuffle around so like the odd lineup is to be expected. really appreciate how Alpha Trion got to be a beastformer again

THIS btw for those of you who haven't seen them is the full designs!

tbh i don't mind they're changed? i think it's fine Maximo can have his own look and not be a knockoff of a different franchise's villain. i think it would've done them much better to have Maximo, Prima, and Vector have different colors to be more distinct, but they played such a small role in the movie i'm not surprised they're a little samey. also i don't think Nexus is a combiner here, that doesn't appear to be his gimmick, if it's a thing in ONE's universe at all. i REALLY REALLY admire how they made Amalgamous not only coherent but COOL. like, this guy is a robot!!! look at that head, those four arms. Onyx and Quintus are certifiable Creachurs and i love that. Alchemist's funky glasses <<33

y'all realize we'll prolly never have Maccadam's in this universe now 😭 thanks Sentinel

YEAH i thought the use of vehicle kibble for actual utility in root mode was really really well done hoooogh

SNAP OP actually has an inbuilt jetpack! he's not aware of it for a long time simply bc he grew up as a grounder and had no reason to suspect he can fly in hero form but he figures it out eventually

"It struggles but it still obeys" -- OPM webcomic chapter 150 review

Summary

The trap we've been waiting to see sprung has finally started to close. Everywhere we look, the triumphant Neo Heroes are stopping, stuttering, and freezing, their pupils fixed and dialated like a corpse's. Then, they move, reanimated to a new existence, one they have no control over. Only lucky individuals who've modified their suits in some way -- or had them broken -- have escaped. And as Accel, Puri Puri, and Amai Mask will testify, the new Neo Heroes attack former allies savagely on sight.

Elsewhere, we see Genos encounter 'Boros's' brain-dead corpse. It has been kept functional on life support in the second of Metal Knight's labs. Noting that the creature is an incredibly powerful one that can't be allowed to rampage. Genos nevertheless feels for it: it's being kept alive to fight. Like him. While Google Translate isn't the best, the translation it comes up with, of Genos saying that at least one of them should have an easy escape when he moves to kill 'Boros', really hits hard.

We see how clearly Genos sees the situation he's in. The rampaging cyborg screwed him out of his past and any social context. Dr Kuseno screwed him out of a future. And now Saitama, the lackadaisical, uncaring Saitama, has been screwing him out of any chance to salvage anything of value out of his situation. Damn straight he's angry.* And in a hurry. There better be a kindly deity willing to pour cooling water on Dr Bofoi's soul, for unless there's a miracle of understanding to stay Genos's hand, that soul is about to be parted from its body with flames so hot it'll arrive in the afterlife still on fire.

Speaking of the lackadaisical Saitama, he's been doing a good job of eliminating the robots wherever he's encountered them. Blue follows the trail of the storm of robot parts he's been flinging hither and thither and accidentally gets steam-rollered by Saitama. That's where the chapter ends.

When we'll continue, your guess is as good as mine.

Meta

Insects. That's all that people are worth to The Organization. It's been nearly three years since I first pointed out the difference between the cyborgs we'd been seeing to date to what the Neo Heroes were doing. I brought up this harrowing reality of using insects as cyborgs and forcing them to move according to an operator's instructions:

"It struggles but it still obeys," is what the lead scientist says. In the story, we see human beings living this reality. Raiden must have incredible willpower: despite everything, he's able to stutter a few words to Puri Puri, begging the latter to save him from his torment even as he rains blows down on the hero.

Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePunchMan/comments/1agdu1y/translation_of_raidens_muttering_webcomic_spoiler/

For luckless souls who fall into the tender mercies of Erimin and Destro and their 'recovery' capsules, there's an even crueler fate waiting. I'll save that for another day. We'll find our way back to what's happening at Neo Hero HQ in time.

Yes, we the readers have been sitting on high being fed the answers to the evil behind the Neo Hero facade. We may not know who is ultimately responsible, and we may not yet know why, but we know a lot and a lot looks 'obvious' to us. However, the characters in the story can only discover the reality based on the evidence they actually have access to and what they already know/think. ONE is very strict on rules of evidence. If it's taken various individuals until now to start to know, it's not because they're stupid. Never think that, oh person given the answers from the back of the book.

The question is what are the individuals who have begun to understand what's happening going to do? They're all scattered in a deeply hostile and dangerous world -- and there isn't much time to do something before civilization is too broken and cowed to function.

That is, of course, the most urgent problem. Speaking of saving civilization, is the Hero Association going to be saved? But there are other urgent problems. Like, one cannot help but worry that Dr. Bofoi is the wrong target to eliminate. He surely deserves some karma but it may well be a gross miscarriage of justice. What's going to happen there? What's going to happen with 'Boros' (I'm not going to take away the quotations until the critter has a mind of his own again)? And really, who truly is behind all this and what do they want?

Tune in sometime in the future to find out.

Aside

*Yes, I have a lot more to say about this, but I need first to set the context to what I'm going to say. So look for additional meta. Nag me if I'm tardy!

LAST TIME ON POWER RANGERS PRIME:

Mark is in jail for the crime of being a refugee hybrid alien fighting racist police VR Troopers who want to use him as trading fodder to support the fascist Eltarian regime (excited for their upcoming series where you have to root for them???????) and as a bonus, we learn he has a Traumatic Past with Dead Mother and everything. Fun times! Now let's see if everyone else is having as fun a time as he is!

It's Power Rangers Prime #7!

= See? Fun times! True equality: both moms and dads can be terrible

= I understand they're going for a "Valentina and Jun are parallels" thing here but man do I wish Valentina can have some sort of development that isn't tied to her relationship with a man. It's happening both with her platonic AND romantic relationships.

= Meanwhile Lauren's fighting Rocksteady, I guess

= So yeah, the man (robot?) of the hour: Teezee! Clearly going to be the first of the Prime Zords. So as I said in a previous post the previews for this issue made it seem like Orion and Mark just randomly decided to build a robot T-Rex with no explanation, but apparently the FCBD had showed they simply FOUND him while snooping around the museum and I guess decided to reactivate him. Which I guess makes more sense, but sometimes this series drops its lore and revelations in ways that feels like you missed something. And not in like, a "well we're keeping it a mystery!" way - for instance, "where did Teezee come from?" is an intentional mystery - but more in like a "the story and characters expect you to accept everything that's happening and move on" way. I just feel like characters should be asking more questions, or things should be mapped out a little more clearly

= VALENTINA DUMP HIS ASS DUMP HIS ASS DUMP HIS ASS NEVER TRUST A BLOND MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

= where's your anger? where's your rage? RISE RISE RISE RISE

= I still think Orion should have said "can't pull off that shade of silver" here

= Anyway the Dino Mutant guy is hot and I wish we knew his name. Can HE be a Ranger

= Oh look, it's Safe Haven 2.0! Only instead of on another planet, it's underground. Cool. At least Dino Mutant Guy is hotter than Arkon

= ML's review had a bit of a discussion about how this just kinda thrown at you without giving you any time to really care, and I kinda agree. Like I'm sure they'll come back to this place and develop more of its cast (again, just like Safe Haven lol) but as of right now they're just kinda using the "look! more people the Eltarians/VR Troopers are oppressing! they help orphaned(?) kids!" narrative to do the legwork to win us over. Remember how Darkest Hour randomly gave Ari and Remi a kid out of nowhere? This is kind of the same thing

= With what I was saying earlier with the book just kinda dropping things on your lap, this technically IS an explanation, but again, nothing that actually explains Teezee's deal. Like I wouldn't have gotten "Orion and Mark found Teezee and decided to reactivate him" from this

= Also yeah Lauren's got her dad's Samuraizer now. Which I'll give props to maybe THAT'S how we'll get her alt-Samurai form, but at the same time....at this point, why even bother lol

= Nah Jun sorry it's cool to have semi-confirmation that you like Mark but conspiring with cops means you are banned from Pride

= eh doesn't look familiar

[babyboyxandy]

We can chat on tumblr chat what have been your favorite episodes in Chicago fire are you OK with love sences. Just wondering.

Awesome! Some of my favourite episode would have to be...

Season 1 Episode 1 - I hate that Andy died but honestly I find it adorable how Matt and Kelly fight like a couple! Like seriously! It's like they broke up over Andy's death and still wanna be together. And how Kelly sneaks a piece of the corned beef from the fridge at the end. "Oh god it's so good!"

Season 2 Episode 13 - Where they have the blackout and everyone comes to stay at the firehouse. Matt is having memory loss issues and Kelly just seems so worried and internally protective of him.

Season 2 Episode 20 - The explosion at the charity run. Matt and Kelly's commentary is hilarious when they are under the rubble looking for Gabby. "Casey if we don't find a place big enough to turn around were gonna have to do all this backwards." "were gonna be smart about this now?" "er... No... Keep going"

Season 3 Episode 3 - The collision between Truck 81 and Truck 66. Kelly climbs up and says "You okay Case?" like what about everyone else? Giggles.

Season 3 Episode 4 - The subway shooting Kelly was involved in. This is actually the episode that inspired me to write my story The Journey Of 3 To 81.

Season 3 Episode 19 - Chicago Med on lockdown because the guy claiming to have the deadly virus explodes himself. Kelly was so heroic and Matt was so worried about him.

Season 4 Episode 8 - Herrmann rescues a robot! Not! It's a tortoise! So cool!!!

Season 5 Episode 4 - Matt is in the warehouse doing an inspection and the forklift driver bust open a chemical tank. Matt is so quick and saves the father and daughter. He digs through a wall with a chair leg! Kelly shows up and is calling for him and Matt calling out to him. So intense! Sparks were LITERALLY flying!

Season 5 Episode 8 - After Matt and Gabby say "I do" Kelly grabs Matts butt! I'm not even sure if that is supposed to be seen or is Taylor was joking around on set and they just left it in.

Season 7 Episode 10 - Matts apartment has burned down and he receives an offer from Kelly to move in with him. Need I say more?

Season 7 Episode 13 - The polar plunge and Kelly takes Matt out for date night. This is the episode that inspired me to write my story Call You Sev.

Season 7 Episode 14 - The chili cook off. Kelly and Matt cooking together is adorable. And Ritter and Tuesday as a team? That's just too adorable!

Season 8 Episode 3 - Where they get the new high tech call system. This always makes me laugh. Especially when Boden throws it out the door!

Season 8 Episode 4 - The infection episode. After they are cleaning up from the fire at the college, Kelly and Kidd are having a moment. All you hear is "Kelly get over here! Boden wants to talk to us" it's almost like Matt was jealous. It makes me giggle.

Season 8 Episode 13 - This one ALWAYS makes me cry. Where the elderly couple just moved to Chicago! There house burns down. The wife doesn't survive. Matt and Sylvie go find the man's cat Dusty. Then the tear jerker. Everyone shows up at the funeral to show the man the true Chicago support.

Season 8 Episode 20 - Capp is injured. Kelly and Matt go visit him and go to the doctor with him. It's so sweet.

Sorry thats a really long list. If you read all of that I'm so happy. If not I really don't blame you. I have autism and I kinda hyperfixated on your question. I love Chicago Fire!

My favourite ship is Sevasey. I don't really like Stella Kidd at all.

I'm totally OK with love scenes. My fanfics are proof of that.

Thanks for the ASK! Love you!
