More Than Meets the Eye #41 (The Sensuous Frame)

[hanaby-3]

At first I didn't really like how this illustration turned out, but over time I've grown fond of it and it's certainly very different from what I usually draw.

would she still love him if he was just a head ... ? ermm. ^_^ YES she would <3333 -- IDW2005 Wreck-Gar and Rum-Maj are soooooo cutesy

the sillies!!!!

[t-cognoscente]

"average Transformer can hear twice as many sound frequencies as a human" factoid actualy just statistical error. average Transformer hears the same number of sound frequencies as a human. Sound wave, who lives in cave & can literally hear you think, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

LET'S TALK ABOUT TESARUS FROM MTMTE.

Okay. So, we have a dude who easily gets bored after getting rid of deserter/s. I think it's possible for him to have REALLY many hobbies through his whole life as a Decepticon. Sometimes just chatting or praying to Megatron is also boring, even though he still likes it.

JUST IMAGINE Tess drawing or doing smth like gemology!!! Yeah, it's still centered on Decepticon cause, DJD, Megatron... But it still keeps him entertained for some time. Plus, he got a good memory (or at least that's what TF WIKI said), which means he may've gotten good with a few things in shorter periods of time!

Tesarus could make small Decepticon insignias from deserters remainings and give them as a gift to DJD members, since he actually cares about his comrades! And maybe, since he could have some good skills with handling much smaller things, than himself, he could make insignias that was, let's say, the accurate size, so smaller member like Kaon, Vos and Nickel could still hold them easily (tho it'd take quite a time to make those...)

Just think about this...

Hi. Hello. This is a sideblog for very nice transformers posts and my own art. Starting off:

First drawing I've done in five years, at least?

This was my reference:

The right hand is off the more I look at it and the fingers .... Aren't there. But I like it. The face is growing on me. I'm going to do a few redraws(studies?) of some mtmte frames.

[short-wooloo]

I just noticed something

The cog Elita gets is from Onyx

In idw2005, Onyx was actually a time displaced Shockwave

And Elita has a particularly adversarial relationship with Shockwave in One (possibly a nod to how they were the leaders of the respective factions on Cybertron while Optimus and Megatron were on earth in the G1 cartoon)

Nothing distracts me from you…

An Essay: Trans History and Retcons Regarding IDW1 Arcee and Her Spotlight

As we've slowly learned more and deeply immersed into IDW1 Arcee's writing over the years, finding much more than just kinship to her, we felt this urge to dig further, to understand, feeling threads that were there regarding trans history, but not having much knowledge regarding historical transmedicalism, so we dug. We dug because we wanted to show that Arcee's writing from 2012-2018 not only is a beautiful trans story unique in science fiction, but that her personality there and in part in her Spotlight (which absolutely did not intend trans stuff and walked into a minefield in that regard that inadvertently opened up the opportunity for the writing and consulting team in Phase 2 and Phase 3 to figure out beautiful character arcs for her) are direct successors of the original personality frameworks for G1 Arcees, and to show the impact and legacy of both Sunbow/Marvel and IDW Arcees along with more Arcees combined on many versions of her thereafter.

Here's the introductory paragraph:

In much of the last decade, a lot of people familiar with Transformers’ trans stories appreciate Arcee being trans and her arcs in that regard from 2012 onwards. But during those six years from 2012-2018 where her narratives that firmly navigated her agency as a trans gal were being established by a number of writers, with consulting help in 2015 for Ask Vector Prime and 2018 for IDW1, there was and remains uncertainty over how exactly that works for her, specifically for her comic iteration where her transness was first hinted and then plainly stated. The variety of understandings in this regard in part originates from her introduction to the IDW1 run, Spotlight Arcee, in 2008, which was received rather turbulently because of how it portrayed her gender and transformer gals at large. Writing years after would navigate resolving this rather beautifully as showing Arcee having struggled with transmedicalism, isolation, abandonment, loneliness, and alienation, the brutality of a violent (and androcentric) world, as many trans people across gender and parallel spectrums or lacks thereof have in real life. Her story is done in a wlw trans gal context in particular. She is shown getting closure on all this, finding her happiness by the end of that continuity that would along with her story at large as a sweet, ferocious, outspoken old warrior sage help set the tone for her portrayals afterwards. Much of this overlaps with how she was described in her The Transformers Universe bio all the way back in 1986. In these regards, we (the writer of this is plural, we'll have a note about that near the end) think it is pertinent to take another look at how her story played out, what was actually written and shown vs. what was intended, to navigate transmedicalist history that overlaps with her story, and to show that Arcee’s trans iterations are directly part of the legacy of G1 Arcee overall

also a brief fact check edit regarding HRT:

we said HRT only effects hormones but realized we should fact check that, and apparently for some people HRT does effect their genes!! (this is separate from the discussion of gender journeys and epigenetics which we personally know next to nothing about) this a deeply understudied topic you can read about it here:
