#i'm excited to watch the movies as well!!!

[sparkriddledfever]

Can you do a Reader reacting to their MTMTE holo forms and them expecting to fit in only to Reader to feel uncanny valley and has to explain to the bots.

Say lessss

One would might expect their beloved liaison to be excited to see their holoforms. A fake flesh at eye level to make it more sensible; nonetheless, Rodimus figured they would be jumping up and down in joy that they can do things together under covered. Showing them the life through a "human's eyes" while stuck on earth for the next few weeks.

Only for that same liaison to stare at them like the entire group of bots grown a second head.

"Why are you staring at us like that?" Rodimus crossed his arms with a frown before it morphed into a teasing grin, "is it cause of our dashing, daring looks?"

"No," their deadpanned response elicited a cackle from Whirl somewhere far in the back. His form slumps; Drift pats his shoulder while struggling to hold back his laughter behind his hand.

"Oh c'mon!" He whines, "I was hoping you be so excited! At least excited that we can blend in with you humans!"

"I- well, I mean- To be honest. On a surface level, yes. Deeper level? No."

The excitement and chatter in the air stills. Now, they're the one being stared at like they grown a second head. It confused them with the sudden shift that had them scratching at their arm in nervousness.

"What did you mean by that?" Drift perks up.

"Uh, this is going to be weird," they began, "I can obviously tell you're not human, but even if you tried so hard to make it very realistic to blend in and it just doesn't feel...right? Does that make sense?"

"Like an imposter?" Swerve pops up behind Rodimus, which made the others stare at him. He looks around confused and flustered, "What? I heard of something like this from human movies."

"Yes, uncanny valley is the best way to explain it. It just doesn't feel or look quite right, it triggers a sense of unease or revulsion in us. It doesn't feel...human to us."

"Huh...what is up with you humans?"

"Whirl!"

"WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?! YOU CAN'T SIT HERE AND TELL ME I'M WRONG?!"

"I mean to be fair, he's really not wrong. Earth got some weird shit I could get into," they mused.

"Like?" Nautica pressed.

"Scary accurate intuitions, picking up the feeling of being watched, our brains sometimes being too powerful it can trick us, noises that Earth makes. You know weird stuff."

"Don't let Brainstorm or Nightbeat hear about this unless you wanna play 50 questions."

"It's 20 questions?"

"With them, it's 50 or more."

"Duly noted."

A calm morning with your husband Joel Miller bringing you the breakfast to bed, and your son cuddling with you | everything is fluff

a/n: this is the most beautiful blurb i have ever wrote, its the cutes seeing husband!joel taking care of his wife and son during a Sunday mornin, makes my heart melt. i don’t think i could let go this Joel. i could never let him go, trust me, he’s my empire rn.

main masterlist ↲

peace and love, penny ★

Joel was preparing your breakfast while his son Trevor sat comfortably at the table, watching television. He placed the food on a small table, carried it to the counter, and his son watched him, thinking about his mom immediately "Is mommy not coming down to eat?" Joel shook his head and gently kissed Trev's head, "Mommy is exhausted, I'll take the food to her bed, will you come with me?" he proposed to his son and the little boy nodded quickly without hesitation, getting off the island chair.

He took the pants of pajamas from his dad while going up the stairs, following him. Upon reaching the door of the room you shared with Joel, Trev took the doorknob and opened it quietly, not wanting to wake you. But you were already up, sitting in the middle of the bed with your back against the headboard. "Oh," you watched as Joel approached the bed, with the tray in his hands. You were wordless, your heart melted. "For the most perfect mom," he said as he placed the tray on your lap, kissed your cheek, and sat beside you.

Trev climbed onto the bed and sat next to you, you wrapped your arm around his back and hugged him, "My sweet boys, it looks delicious!" The food looked amazing, Joel had outdone himself this time, he wasn't one to cook daily, but he enjoyed it. "Try it and tell me if I end up like you." Joel smiled at you while crossing his arms. "Dad cooks delicious!" Trevor commented, excited. "Really? Well, let's give it a try."

You praised Joel a lot, he had put a lot of effort into getting your flavor, and he had succeeded. He wanted to please you for being such a good mother and wife, you are the world to him, just like Trevor, who had already fallen asleep by your side. Joel removed the table from the bed and set it aside, cuddled up with you, and placed a kiss on your cheek. "It was missing a bit of flavor," you whispered playfully. "Really?" he furrowed his brows. You laughed and rested your head on his shoulder. "I'm just playing, love" Joel shot you a look, "You hurt my feelings," he said dramatically while clutching his chest.

That Sunday you spend it at home, all of you in bed and watching movies. You enjoyed being together and spending time as a family. Like the beautiful family you have with Joel.

anyone else kind of put off by how they write makoto scaring her friends? idk maybe its just me

like, okay, in tactica especially there are multiple "comedic bits" where they mention how strong makoto is and that she does martial arts. like, they're praising and admiring her skill, or just commenting on it in general. but at one point someone (morgana, i think. and later futaba) specifically say she is "scary" and "terrifying" and it shows them being scared of her. when she reacts to most of their comments like this:

and you know how theres that bit where joker can imagine what it would be like to marry a phantom thief of their choosing? and the makoto in his head gets angry at him for a conclusion she jumped to about joker having someone else? and when joker comes out of the daydream he backs away from makoto and she says he looks pale.

theres a lot of these bits in tactica, but strikers and even the base game isnt saved from this altogether. theres that god damn 'peeping at girls in the hot spring trope' that comes up in every modern mainline persona game. its meant to be funny? apparently? but after the 5th time we see it we're not like. haha dumb teen boys get beat up by angry teen girl over a misunderstanding. we're like. oh. this again.

(i feel like this same 'girl beats up dumb boy' trope spawns from the same place the 'girls beat up ryuji after he almost dies for them' scene comes from. and maybe thats part of why it makes me do the frowny emote.)

ANYWAY

p5r dodged the obligatory hot spring scene, but Strikers did it instead. and makoto beats up the guys even though it was a honest fuck up and they tell the girls they weren't peeping and we the audience know they weren't but makoto beats them up anyways?? and exclaims "fist of justice!!!" ("HAHA MAKOTO SCARY LOL" ???????)

meanwhile she gets annoyed in any other instance when her friends try and reference her fists of justice?? (ryuji tells toshiro to watch what he says if he doesnt want to get pummeled, when he tried to compare makotos punching power to fist of the north star and she gets pissed) sigh. what is this writing. why would she having issue with it? this is a girl who gets so excited watching Yakuza movies that she sits on the edge of her seat with her fists clenched. shes started reading action manga more and actually enjoys it.

even if makoto wants to come off as being serious and put together, and even if she naturally is (moreso than her other friends) she is not immune to the sillies of teenagerhood. she would compare herself to it gladly and wouldnt hit or scold her friends if they did either. because its fuckin awesome. because shes awesome.

like. i'm not the biggest fan of makoto. she's got the lowest blorbo status in my brain out of the whole squad but i don't hate her. there is a good character there, its just. the writers. make. decisions.

makoto spent so long being alone and feeling isolated and like. she says during her confidant that a lot of people just thought she was some kind of cold. robot. so i certainly don't think she would want her friends to think she was in any way unapproachable. or unable to handle the bits.

and i dont think she would want her bit to be 'lol violence funny' (at the very least not to this extent.) i don't think she would want to give her friends any reason to think that she would hurt them. making a "strong woman" character does not mean this character. has to crack her knuckles at her friends and imply shes going to hit them if they say something a little too silly. and play it off as a bit??

like. idk. maybe im thinking about this too much or not explaining this with the right words. but its just one of the many things about the writing choices that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. to me this is completely different from them making her serious about studying and having her get on her friends asses if they dont do well. and her friends not wanting to get a makoto lecture. like oh we better study because if we fail we'll have to face Militant Academic Makoto Niijima because she will organize a tutoring/study session like it's the fuckin navy.

when ann and ryuji first say 'oh man shes scary i dont want to get on her bad side' right after makotos awakening, makoto seems more embarrassed than anything else. and i feel like this is. more true to her character. she lets her anger out in the metaverse and she can do amazing things with it as her drive but shes embarrassed about expressing it. but she comes to embrace this about herself. that shes powerful. and shes proud of it. but that doesnt meant she leans into being someone her friends think is. genuinely scary.

makoto is a terrifying fighter and brilliant tactician in the metaverse but in real life she is not all serious business! she is capable of fun!! makoto is a nice girl!! makoto is a girl who had to grow up too fast and mask her way into the good graces of the adults in her life! so she's awkward around kids her age!! and in situations that arent serious business (that she cant script as well) she isnt always sure how to best interact with her peers! but shes growing! shes going out of her way to experience new things! she wants to better embrace her anger because it means freedom for her!! after a childhood full of holding her tongue!! but she doesnt have a temper that makes her friends the victim of her misplaced aggression! and shes not a buzzkill!

Hi! Welcome back! For shenanigans, any or all of the following that tickle your fancy:

Avatrice, this post:

https://www.tumblr.com/alterumsinealterononest/769889024736444416/i-just-saw-a-video-of-a-girl-scattering-tea-bags?source=share

Avatrice (or AvaLil) as astronauts accidentally stranded together for 9 extra months

Shannon x Mary enemies to lovers and they're lawyers on opposite sides of a case

oh gosh Alms you always bring the fun prompts XD i'm going with the second one though i can guarantee it ended up not where you'd expect (mostly bc i may or may not be working on a fic centered around Bea's thoughts on aikido 👀). always fun to see what you send in, i hope this is alright!

"Wait you're a black belt? You could teach me! 9 months is enough for me to get to black belt too, right?" 

The laugh that escapes Beatrice surprises both Ava and herself. Beatrice nearly covers her mouth but Ava's already wiggling, her grin stretching wide across her face. 

"C'mon Bea, we've got nothing better to do!" 

"On the contrary, we have plenty of things to do," Beatrice says, gesturing towards their checklists. 

Ava rolls her eyes, does a lazy backflip and lands against a bulkhead. "Don't tell me you haven't been curious about how it'd feel to do that kinda stuff in space." 

Beatrice knows they're talking about martial arts - they'd been talking about Ava's many hobbies and somehow, as conversations with Ava now usually go, Beatrice had ended up sharing about herself as well - but the suggestive way Ava waggles her eyebrows makes Beatrice blush. 

"It isn't relevant the mission," is all Beatrice says, ignoring the heat in her cheeks. 

Ava, thankfully, also ignores it. "You never know, Bea: what if we run into evil space aliens and we have to fight them off when they infiltrate the ship?"

Beatrice rolls her eyes. "You've watched too many sci-fi movies." 

"No such thing as too many. So, are you ready?"

Beatrice's brow furrows. "Ready for -"

"Here I come!"

It's instinct that takes over Beatrice's body, has her hands moving, her hips turning - Ava shrieking as she tumbles to the far side of the open space. It's instinct again that fixes Beatrice in place, replaying her technique, taking it apart, finding places to critique - 

"That was amazing!"

If the gravity was on, Beatrice is sure Ava would be bouncing literally off the walls. Here in zero gravity, however, Ava's settled for wildly waving her arms and legs to express her excitement. She looks silly, so free, so joyous. Beatrice can't help but laugh and let herself feel the same. 

"What was that called?" Ava asks - and Beatrice wonders how a person can grin so wide, so much. 

Beatrice shrugs. "Koshi-guruma, it's a judo technique that -"

"Aw, but I want to see aikido! Please, Bea?" 

Beatrice opens her mouth but finds herself unable to speak. It's bewildering, having someone so eager to share in something irrelevant; in something she loves. Has found herself bewildered countless times, now, because of Ava. 

She shakes her head, feels her body already shifting to respond. She's learned enough - from martial arts, from the dogged determination of Ava's smile - to know when resistance is futile. 

"Fine," Beatrice sighs, ignores the way her mouth wants to curve up to match Ava's expression. "Fine." 

Ava whoops as she drifts back towards the bulkhead, uses it to launch herself at Beatrice once again. Beatrice is ready this time, and her mind splits like it does when it's calm like this: one part executing movements written now into her bones, the other part watching from the outside-in.

It's with that part of her mind that Beatrice thinks how it's not that different without gravity, even without the gi. How her hands still know how to lead, how her hips are still free to shift and twist and redirect. But here, there is no weight - of expectation, of perfection - no need to go through the technique too quickly. There's time: to feel her body moving, to hear Ava's surprised gasps, to take what she knows and make it into something new. 

She lets her body and mind still once Ava is out of her arms, watches her tumble harmlessly through the air. (And that too is different, a relief to know that here, they're both safe.)

"The fuck - did you just clothesline me?" Ava's squawk is more in delight than affront. 

Beatrice tilts her head, thinks back on the technique and laughs. "I suppose I did," she admits. 

"Damn I didn't know aikido had some WWE type of shit," Ava says, floating back up to Beatrice. 

"Well, there is some overlap, actually. Many of the joint locks for example -" 

"Okay wait, we're gonna have to make a list now of everything you need to teach me."

Beatrice raises an eyebrow. "You? Make a list? The thing you said was for 70-year-old grandmas?" 

Ava rolls her eyes - Beatrice notes the light flush creeping up her neck. "I can be organized! Anyway, I wanna learn that one - what's it called?" 

"Irimi nage," Beatrice answers - and this is instinctive, now, though new: the way she feels herself respond to Ava's eager questioning. From somewhere outside of herself, she can see the way it's different with Ava, the way she's different; the way everything is easy and weightless. 

And as she watches their hands fit together, Beatrice thinks how 9 months may not be enough. So this is what it feels like, she thinks as she watches Ava tumble through the air, listens to her laughter, feels her own heart stumble and soar: this is what it feels like to want more.

my autistic ass avoided watching the x-files because i knew it would consume me....

& now here i am fully consumed even though I've only watched the first few handful of episodes of s1 (i'm regaining spoons needed for media consumption), but let me tell you w h a t!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was so excited i started crying because it combines unbridled pining, a skeptic & her believer husband partner, true crime, weird mythology, aliens (which i already knew abt obvi), unlikely besties who are prepared to square up at all times (re; scully being cold towards the agents mocking mulder & mulder being ready to fight g o d whenever anything happens to scully).

i just love the show a lot & i expected this but goddamn!!!!!! it's wormed into my spin category & now my alien spin is returning along with my 'unexplained happenings spin!!!!! i'm being consumed i tell you!!!!
