Reblog with ONE song rec for the Autobots

It can be a song:

For the faction.

That alludes to the cause in some way.

That makes you think of a particular Autobot.

I give you:

Edit: You can reblog as many times as you like, but each reblog should only have one song.

On 8th June 1778 Robert Stevenson, the noted Scottish civil engineer, was born.

Stevenson is credited with practically inventing the Scottish lighthouse system.

Robert was born in Glasgow. His father was Alan Stevenson, a partner in a West Indies sugar trading house in the city. Alan died of an epidemic fever on the island of St. Christopher in the West Indies on 26 May 1774, a few days before Robert's second birthday. As a result, Stevenson education started as an infant at a charity school.

His mother intended Robert for the ministry and sent him to the school of a famous linguist of the day, Mr. Macintyre. However, in Stevenson’s fifteenth year, Jane Lillie married Thomas Smith a tinsmith, lamp maker and ingenious mechanic who had in 1786 been appointed engineer to the newly formed Northern Lighthouse Board.

Robert Stevenson soon followed in his step-father’s professional footsteps, becoming his assistant, aged just 19 he was left to supervise the building of the Clyde Lighthouse on Little Cumbrae in the River Clyde.

In 1794, Robert also supervised the construction of the Pentland Skerries Lighthouse. From 1797-1843 Robert acted as engineer to the Northern Lighthouse Board. During this time he oversaw the construction of many lighthouses, the most famous of which was the Bell Rock Lighthouse.

Notably, Robert Stevenson invented intermittent and flashing lights. His invention earned him a gold medal from the King of Netherlands. Although most well-known for his lighthouses, eh also engineered bridges, roads, and railways, among other things. Probably the most well known of his bridges is the Hutcheson bridge officially called the Albert Bridge in Glasgow.

In 1797, Robert married his step-sister Jean Smith . The couple had 13 children, but only 5 survived into adulthood. Three of his sons, Alan, David and Thomas became lighthouse engineers as well. Thomas was also father to Robert Louis Stevenson, the author.

Stevenson died on 12th July 1850, at 1 Baxters Place in Edinburgh. He is buried in the Stevenson family plot in the New Calton Burial Ground.

Ten Songs: Three

Music, importantly, is more than a tune and some lyrics. It’s a catch in the throat, a mind refresher, a rabbit hole, a generator of smiles, a reminder of loves, a slap on the back and a squeeze of the heart. I love music, never really remember what I’ve listened to and use it as a background to all my writing. But some music, some songs are more than that. These are the ten that I stop and…

I was at a lighthouse with my cousin and we ate pomegranates when one of them became a grenade (in our language pomegranate and grenade are the same word) and blew up in a pink dust.

One thing about Duke that I feel needs a canon deep dive in terms of all of the batfamily is how Duke wasn't there for the traumas that the family has experienced and how he changes the entire dynamic of the batfamily as a result.

I can explain by getting a little personal. My family went through a lot of pain bc my brother was born about 15 weeks early, and barely survived. But I was born a few years after and saw all of that stuff as normal. Me not knowing/experiencing that traumatic event changed the family dynamic. my mother has called it filling in the cracks(basically calling me the glue of the family).

Now how does this relate to Duke? Well, the closest he knew of what the joker did to Barbara and Jason was likely news articles his parents talked quietly about after he went to bed. He had maybe interacted with Batman twice before his family was targeted, and never saw most of Damian's arc to redeem himself. He was in the foster system when Bruce died, and didn't form we are Robin until down the line. Duke joined long after these events occurred or after they were mostly resolved. His view of the batfamily is normal normal to him. It's not like dick's, who likely longs for a time when Bruce wasn't so closed off, or before Jason was killed. Duke's normal isn't like Tim or Steph's, who joined when Bruce was grieving Jason, and along with Cass and Damian, their normal was shattered by Bruce's "death".

Duke knows these people are messed up, don't get me wrong, but the ways they are messed up is just who they are to him from his introduction to them. And the difference between being there in someone's past vs. only knowing about it after the fact is something that I find relatable with Duke.

It's the reason that I think Duke and Jason get along fairly well outside of just their similar stories. Duke may have heard stories of how jason was before, but it's never in the context of Jason not being alive or an in memoriam. He compares those stories about jason to the way he is now instead of vice versa.

The same can be said for Damian and Cass. He's heard stories about how they were raised to kill with no mercy and made an incredible journey to not do that anymore. But to him it's context rather than who they are. He may be one of the only people who truly sees Damian as someone trying to get through middle school while being Robin. And the dynamic he has with Cass has so much love and support when either of them is going through something.

Duke, whether he knows it or not changes several of the dynamics of the batfamily. I realized that I've never made this post and I feel like I have to.

Harding: Is… is that meant to be on fire?

Neve: No.. not at all

Harding: Shouldn’t we do something about that?

don’t know if the lighthouse keepers showing up in marcus’ story was them actually managing to follow her around after she left the isles, isolde’s seance powers summoning them, or just a figment of her imagination, but i’d like to think its the first one.

and once greta dies and somehow turns into a ghost (can you see that im still coping), the three of them are there to help her get her bearings over the fact she’s dead and a ghost and once the vienna storm shitshow is done the three of them basically thank her for taking care of their little lassie after all this time
