I want you to know that I constantly think about that post/chapter of yours that posits the idea that Decepticon High Command in Animated just thinks the DJD is annoying as shit. It's so fucking funny. The idea that the DJD is exactly as terrifying and sadistic as they are in the comics but are just treated like annoying edgelords has me in shambles.
YES I'm so glad that's living on!!
Because like yeah!! If I had to work with a group of people who committed some serious horrific atrocities but were also edgelords I'd be annoyed too! What do you mean Tarn is constantly playing the same classical music over and over again?? What do you mean Kaon "accidentally" put you on The List after you made fun of him?? Why is Vos allowed to be a "linguistic purist" and make communications a thousand times harder??
Like yeah they're terrifying if you were an actual target. But obviously Decepticon High Command members aren't a target, and high ranking Cons also have the responsibility of planning attacks, managing resources, and keeping up appearances with neutral partners. Not everyone can go join a secretive group and just fuck around committing atrocities. Some of us have to actually work and get shit done around here!! No I don't want to hear about how you ground a mech to death or flayed a mech alive, I need you to explain how you spent all those credits we gave you in under three solar cycles!!
I headcanon that Strika has beef with Tarn not because he's a violent, barely controlled murderer, but because he doesn't do any administrative work. He doesn't do his financial reports, he never helps with maintaining trade routes, and he never keeps track of resources used. The last time she asked for his energon consumption report for the last quarter he went on a tangent about Megatron's early writings until she gave up and cut the call. She has since talked Nickel into doing administrative work behind Tarn's back just so that she has some records of their spending and consumption. She's brought this issue up to Megatron multiple times and yet he does nothing about it because after all they produce results.

Hate how in every thread where someone asks for challenge ideas for pz most answers are just 'make it as hard as possible'
I dont want to make a run with highest zombie and rarest loot settings, eternal winter, no guns or cars, take all negative traits or whatever! i want a goal other than just 'survive'
the problem isn't that it's too easy to survive, it's that i dont have a point to work towards and then it all feels sort of pointless...
I like challenges like 'get from one end of the map to the other' or 'collect all ingredients + the recipe magazine and make a pizza'
collecting all versions of certain items is also fun, as well as giving your character a backstory and goal and rp
if anyone has fun ideas for goals what to do in pz, feel free to leave them in the notes :*

SER COLE ( @vowmaker ) said "i guess it's my fault."
His throat dries and closes as his fists tighten uselessly, his face tightening into a mask. He hates feeling like he's failed, feeling like he's not done enough to unburden others. Cole isn't his mentor anymore but he still feels the unshakeable need to win his praise. He thought with time, with proving himself it would go away but it hasn't.
"No." His voice lacks any hint of his distress, he's had years of practice. "it's not you fault."

going to be honest here I'm getting tired of jumping into 911 stories that look promising only to find out that the author is proudly proclaiming that they don't give a shit about one of the characters they're writing, it's just - ugh. i'm so fed up with this middle school attitude that's creeping into the fandom, it's just a poor excuse for lazy ass writing. Leave the fucking character out if you hate them that much, you can do whatever you want in fanfic. But then I suppose that would deprive you of whatever bizarre joy you're getting out of telling the world how much you hate this character, I suppose. Christ on a bike.

Talking about vampires reminded me of how much this dialogue amuses me:
Leon: "My head is spinning. I can't believe you did this. What's going to happen to us ...are you going to end us like you ended Cazador?"
Player: "You're free to go."
Leon: "We are... free? But where will we go? How will we feed?"
Player: "Be a wolf among sheep. Travel from peaceful village to peaceful village."
Leon: "You're right. That's good advice. Thank you."
Like if you tell Leon he can decide for himself what to do, he decides the Underdark sounds great. Astarion himself has the Underdark as his first thought, but the PC can just straight up give them advice on murdering people and he's like "oh shit, yeah, you're right."
Just being a bad influence on the vampires.
