#literally dont even care which bot it is i just wanna fuck a car

[mychlapci]

i have a fantasy about driving a transformer around and for some reason, maybe some decepticons saw us or something, to keep our cover we've gotta stop at a gas station. so i stop, i park, i get ready to pump the gas, and they cant even tell me not to do it because that would give them away, so they stay quiet as i basically fuck their valve with the gas pump. and theyre squirming in their altmode trying to keep their engine from rumbling, fans from clicking on, fluids spurting around the gas pump as they struggle to hold back an overload... or maybe they overload embarrassing quickly and have to hold back the shudders as their overstimulated valve keeps getting filled...

[iceglade]

long thoughts i had while listening to dreams 🤓podcast🤓

obsessed with the idea of saving time like with the wayback machine and traveling to select saved/marked/preserved moments like that

get me in the ring coach i wanna talk to dream about it. gonna hit em with the "yeah we can but Should we" just to see what he does

im a big advocate for putting together an ethics committee cause we're only gonna need one More as time goes on and hardware/SOFTWARE advances.. especially software

cApItAlIsM LeAdS tO iNnOvAtIoN yeah when they want to empty the clouds before a big sports event, but the simultaneously dumbest and most important question here is whos gonna pay for using it where people Need it not that they Need that when there are simpler tech options to fix stuff like world hunger and global warming literally we could solve every single problem listed right NOWWWWW its just that NOBDOY WANTS TO FUCKING PAY FOR ITTT CAPITALISM IS SO GOOOOOOD .. OBVIOUS SARCASM ...

hes talking about technically everything being useless except for your brain.. yeah dream the only reason thats the case is we dont understand how the brain works. if we understand how the brain works we wont even need the biomass there too

im allowed to say dreams dumb because im smarter than him and i also love all these topics

"DIE EARLY I DONT CARE"

hfjgj hes just wow'ed by the possibilities open to us huh... hes also totally stuck at step 1 bc chat is so so miserably stupid

well. having muscles and spending the energy to move around helps regulate our system. its like when you go onto space and 0 gravity ..

i mean yeah you can drug yourself with endorphins too. is that as valid a way to live as any?

why do we need all this? it CAN be made but there are so many more things to consider than just innovation innovation innovation fast fast fast. a genuine question to consider is, when does convenience start cutting out things that can't be calculated? but yknow what AI struggling with soft sciences is like the whole big question right now so im gonna move on

"METEORITES"

that seems so painful to have to crack open meteorites to fulfill future water demands. why cant we just maintain the cycles instead? i mean like yeah i can think "ai does the math automated controlled detonation system" but thats doing too much. i'd just occams razor that bitch. earth has its own system why do we have to make our own less efficient system other than just to just be able to say we did it. like its cool but inefficient you might as well program your grocery delivery bot to perform a musical number before it lets you touch your food. its dumb

climate change fixing, actually i was on tiktok and someone made a video about how they fixed the acid rain from the 60s i think. which was deincentivizing companies by putting a cap on pollution levels, giving them buyable passes, allowing them to buy them from Each Other, and then making it more monetarily profitable to invest in green energy and sell off their pollution passes. like. thats FUNNY. and that WORKED.

trueeee change and development takes time but it also takes money. time for the people below, money for the people above 🤓🥸

i personally want horses to come back.

like yas i hate gas cars

bring back the horse

its true that prices lower as tech gets less and less expensive to make and mass produced, all ethics on THAT topic aside, but this makes me think of going to the store and seeing massive, beautiful tvs that would have been thousands in 2010, selling for 400 just sitting on the floor. the opulence of this fucking era occasionally hits me when im in a grocery store surrounded by food just sitting there...

empathy huh.. off topic tangent, but i'm a firm believer in that hereditary inherited trauma/genetic memories, i completely believe thats an actual thing, and when i have to think about humanity i think about how we're all beings made up of layers upon layers of ideas that Worked. if it didnt Work we would not have Been here. thats how evolution works, yeah? if we were to program a robot to feel empathy and to have consciousness, would we follow that same process to have it generate its humanity? how else would we create consciousness? or maybe we could follow the octopus format of having multiple computation centers that communicate.. is that any less or any more valid a form of consciousness than anything else ... i wonder what dream would say on these topic. and yet ALL OF THIS is totally moot once ai develop to think faster and bigger than us because i cant

i think ai would have as many limits as humans do. its a hardware vs software situation just like everything else

i wanna be like "living as a robot is just another way to live, chase your happiness" but do i really wanna get into the social when dreams already moved on in the podcast okay

ROBOT REPRODUCTION.. ELIMINATE BABIES ENTIRELY .. though i agree, there's still developing to do even if you could download worldly knowledge and experience directly into a newborn's head.

oh he circled back around to it, but i also really appreciate having the option to do it even if i dont. or to Not do it even if i Do. just on principle. but that's MY view on the world

life purpose and meaning huh ...

i like that dream optimistic, though. its one of the things that makes him matter so much to me.

the people who are causing climate change can be MADE to care, though. it's possible.

well. asking this question to the universe but do we really have to hit rock bottom before anything gets done? why does everything have to be a tragedy? cant we just solve the problem before its the World End? why does it always have to be this way?

i hope dream is enjoying his ice 🥺

i agree. humans are cockroach-like. we really are the biggest threat to ourselves.

disaster events always gets everyones priorities in order. but i really wish it didnt have to be so dire for that to occur. why does this always have to be the case

OH HERE WE GO AGAIN. GHOSTS ARE SCIENCE

THATS THE PROBLEM DREAM BELIEVES IN HEART BUT HE DOESNT BELIEVE IN SPIRIT. "they could. anything's technically possible i dont think my view is the only right view but based on my worldview i dont believe in ghosts because theres no evidence pointing to it whatsoever so i dont have any reason to believe it" YOU'LL SEE. YOU'LL ALL SEE

"so whats up" nothin much man whats up with you

the fucking word hunt sounds im crying

okay post over thanks for reading guys

put me in the ring coach id love to talk with you!!!!!!

[needs-to-stop-looking-at-valves]

Tfa character review! (6/12)

Alpha Trion!!;

(No other forms available)

Alpha trion! Believe it or not, i love this guy, back in tfp. Purely because he shoved keys up Smokescreen's ass. This is canon, totally. But anyway, this one, i still dig, because he gives you the classic 'old man diss'. And by you, i mean Sentinel. I love any character that tells him to fuck off. And he does it just perfectly.

Verdict:7/10. Take him home if you'd like, but he will talk ALL the shit. Not gonna though, I'D hit that.

Elita one!!;

(No other form available)

She is a UNIQUE looking Queen. I grew to like her looks, as she was an interesting take on her previous pink form. She was smiley, spunky, and ready for the adventure of a lifetime. I could tell she meant a lot to those around her, and i could see why. I wish she had more screen time tbh, but i could say that for a lot of characters.

Verdict:7/10. Dont get me wrong, i think she's cute, but i feel like they sorta squished her personality a bit. And i also feel like Blackarachnia is too obsessed with this form, which bothers me a bit.

Omega supreme!!:

I. Love him!!! Hes big, cute, simple, and is Ratchet's proud boy. He was a huge plot point for this series, and was a huge part of Ratchet's arc. I kinda feel bad that he was programmed with such a simple brain, with him just ready to sacrifice himself more than tfp Optimus. I feel like he deserved way more than that. I wanna see him just relax on earth, being taught by everyone else the beauty of earth.

Verdict:8/10. Big cute boy who deserved a family with Ratchet and Arcee. Great character who REALLY belonged in this series.

Wasp!!;

Green boy!! Was INTERESTING. I knew him on Tumblr before i knew him here. So i was under the impression he was like Beast wars Waspinator, who didn't deserve anything that he got (minus the ending). But he was MUCH more complicated than that??? He had a descend into madness essentially. He was a jerk in the beginning, so in a sense it made you feel better about him being sent to the stockade, but what i find fascinating is him in his escape. For a kids show, he got DARK. I thought he was gonna shank Bee or something. Course what he intended was a MILLION times worse, but still. He got CREEPY. And one moment id like to highlight in particular, was everyone trying to chase him down and capture him. He was immediately on edge, not at all ready to go back. He then cries "Bumble bot sent Wasp to the stockade! Wasp was a GOOD bot once!" And then Bulkhead, the absolute defender of his friends, says, "No you weren't! You were mean to me and Bumblebee! You may not be a traitor, but you were NEVER a good bot!". And i find this FASCINATING. Because this is true. Despite how unjust this was, Wasp WASN'T good. He'd be free from the stockade, but the stockade took a bad bot...and made him worse.

Verdict:9/10. Good use of a character, good tie in with beast wars, he was complex, and tbh? He was cute. Take him home if you want, but he jumpy as SHIT.

Wreckgar!!;

This bot is pure GARBAGE and we LOVE him! Weird al has this habit of making every character he portrays as VERY lovable and Wreckgar is no exception! Hes simple minded, believes basically everything everyone says. Which make him takes him literally, and his endless supply of garbage from his dumpster/backback. His intentions are good, as he REALLY wants to be a hero. He's a nice guy, and just wishes to tell everyone, "Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong!"

Verdict:9/10 he is ADORABLE. Take him home, hes SUCH a gift gifter! Tries too hard, but that just means he cares!

Yoketron!!;

(No other form available. However it is stated he turns into a sports car)

sensei! I was surprised to meet him, and even more surprised when i found myself liking him! I usually tend to be so so about the teaching character, but something about Yoketron made him so much more likable? Was it because he beat Prowl's ass? Because he was such a huge part of his story arc and gave a surprise factor into Lockdown? Is it because i kinda wanna eat his robo pussy?? Maybe?? Either way i appreciated him and the role he played, and it saddened me when he died, especially since Prowl cared oh so deeply, for the mech that changed his life.

Verdict:8/10. Wise, kind, ready to kick ass. A bit on the older side, but take him to the folks. He knows how to fix EVERYTHING in the household, and will make friends with everyone.

cy which abba songs would you karaoke (don't say 'all of them' you, me, and the haiku bot reading this all know that's lazy)

kelsey this is literally the greatest ask ive ever gotten and i cant wait to share all my bad opinions on abba where anyone with taste can see them and judge me.

So. my Go To ABBA song, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight), also known as the greatest abba song ever written, is obviously at the top of this list. i will start (badly) belting out this song at even the slightest provocation. no holds bared, all out, getting the lyrics wrong, dont even care, instant party. you can play this song and ill fuckin come like flies to honey no joke. it is an Anthem and a Banger and a Bop all in one and i die every time what a fuckin song.

then obvi next is Take A Chance On Me bc TAKE A CHANCE TAKE A CHANCE TAKEATAKEACHANCHANCE TAKE A CHANCE TAKE A CHANCE TAKEATAKEACHANCHANCE IF YOURE ALLLLL ALONE! WHEN THE PRETTY BIRDS HAVE FLOWN! HONEY IM STILL FREE! TAKE A CHANCE ON ME! honestly despite the love and adoration i have for gimme gimme gimme the amount of Enthusiasm i put into my performance of this song is unparalleled. its just so much fun man like you cant not be hype listening to this song it gets you hype no matter what

next is Does Your Mother Know….. this song is like inextricably linked with the mamma mia scene in my mind…. but like its another really hype song like you wanna dance yknow? and what fun is dancing if youre not contributing some off key vocals at the same time like??????

then we got Lay All Your Love On Me. idk this song is just so Dramatique™ yknow??? it just lends itself to pointless posturing and melodramatic lipsyncing. experience is increased fiftyfold if you have someone to direct all your ridiculous antics at. i usually go for my cat but thats a personal preference.

then Voulez-Vous. very very fun to yell. i like songs that you can yell. esp when im driving. this is an Excellent song to yell while driving. it significantly enhances the experience, also its very repetitive so you arent draining too much brain power from the car driving part.

Dancing Queen. i am still Incredibly offended that no one sang this to me on my 17th birthday. or the day before my 18th birthday when i heavily hinted that it would be everyones last chance to sing it to me. smh. fake friends.

and then theres this weird song What About Livingstone. i cant really explain this one…. my dad likes it a lot and when he found his old tapes with this song on them he was so freakin happy and he played them all the time and this song kind rubbed off on me. i dont actually know any of the words xcept like half of the chorus but ive never let minor details like that stop me before

Waterloo. knowin my fate is to be with you. WHOAOAOAOA waterloo. thats all.

then Money, Money, Money. youre a fucking liar if you try to say you dont like singing this song. its got anti capitalism and spite what the fuck more can you possibly want out of a song? also that weird aaaahhhhhh part in the chorus is lots of fun too.

I Am The City….. another weird one from my dad lol. i never remember the name of it but when i see it on like tracklists and stuff its like *laser shaq eyes* THAT ONE. its a nice little bop too but those high vocals are killer ive never once in my life tried to sing it in anything other than the most godawful caterwauler i can muster

and last on the list of ABBA Songs I Would Preform On Stage In Front Of Drunk Strangers is Eagle cuz you gotta have atleast one weird trippy hippie song on the list. also it gives me the same vibe as dreamweaver and anything that has the same vibe as that absolute gem of a song is aces in my book.

anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk if you disagree with me youre wrong bc there is literally no better abba song than gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight and i can prove it with my fist

1. nicknames: reed... uh..... sometimes ppl call me weed to mock me but then i just punch them and its good (just kdding im weak as shit)

2. gender: hey so i find that if you don't identify yourself, people you talk to online are less likely to preemptively subconsciously stereotype you and therefore judge you before really getting to know you. So let's keep it that way. Unlock lvl 3 friendship before I reveal who I truly am to you LMFAO

3. Star sign: aries grr!

4. Height: 5'5", maybe 5'6" ??? idk man all i know is my little sister is taller than me and it makes me mad bc I personally am not that short!!!!

8. Favorite Solo Artist: I can't choose so u get all of em. Hachi (Yonezu Kenshi), Aimer, Sasakure.UK, Harito, Keichi Okabe, EMI EVANS god ,,, As well as a collection of, indie people,... and anyone that did the drakengard/nier osts / gravity rush 1 & 2 Osts, wow. seriuosly. Amazing.

9. Song stuck in my head right now: Douse shinundakara, (its a lie that its not stuck right now but its been for the past few days!) because I found the jp translation and made english lyrics and have been practicing hittin those high notes in the car on the way to school LMFAO.... same with hoshii no kieta by Aimer.;..... its like car karaoke hawhaw

11. Last show I watched: was Rick and Morty, earlier today, in my school lounge on my computer. s3 ep 7 is really, really good. Like really good. It's also pretty fucked up.

12. when I created this blog: its been. A very. long time. this blog has only really ever been for reblogs... if u wanna chat w me find a discord server im part of and bother me there... or pm me, because i prefer one on one conversations even if im shit at keeping them going.

15. do I have any other blogs: like, two. artblog, old blog where I uploaded covers when I was in middle school, and a personal vent blog.... i accidently reblogged something to there though so I deleted it oops lmfao. But its ok, it was meant to be ephemeral and writing my thoughts down is therapeutic so I'll make another one once again.

16. do I get asks: literally never. Not even bots, LMFAO.

17. why did i choose my url: I've stuck with the name Reed for a really long time now but its also a pretty generic name, so i came up with this shitty pun and it stuck. it's probably my steam username too but like shifted around a little. any time i can't get 'reed' as a username i default to im.reed.ing or something like that.

18. followers: whoa, 175, really???? I get the impression that quite a few of them are inactive though, or i post so irregularly and infrequently that no one ever sees my posts LOL.

19. following: 380 and still counting. I turn on notifs for artblogs I really like!!! >;3

20. favorite snack for movie/tv: Honestly I used to not chow much while watching or itd be something generic like chips, but recently I started marathoning naruto of all things w a friend and we go to the asian supermarket beforehand and we get like a bunch of popped rice chips or sweets and various foods and some iteration of hi-chews and THAT is my favorite marathon snack tbh.

21. average hours of sleep: NEVER ENOUGH. It goes from like 2-3 hours on days when i have no self ocntrol... to like 12-16 on days when i... have no... self control.... lays down slowlyl.....

My boyfriend is a squa-- //kicked jk jk  ramiel is a octohedron, i take it bac k ....

24. instrument: i can play the piano (barely) but I used to also do violin trumpet and a teeny bit of flute.... learned the ocarina too bc im a zelda nerd, and I dont mean that silly little 4-hole one.

25. what I am wearing right now: a lot of things,,, a watch, a hyper light drifter sweater. headphones, underwear, pants, a tshirt, socks, existential dread... u name it lol.

26. first celeb crush: since i honestly never cared much for real life celebrities, i'll just give you my anime/video game crushes instead and like...... wow i can't honestly remember my first ones???? oh shit wait OK it was probably both ashitaka and san, my first ghibli movie was mononokehime...  they are just so freaking coo l... ok thtas a lie i lowkey wanted to BE them. Both of them.

.... idk man u cant ask an aroace person what their crushes were bc idk what those are!!! I assume u just really really really like something/someone and thats that, I GUESS??? I wanted to be link too once upon a time. And nausicaa. and a good chunk of the soul calibur 2 cast, and starfire from oldtimey teen titans. i was a simple child ok???

27. dream job: listen thats complicated idk about what my dreams are for a job, but I do want to be an animator and a storyboarder and a game developer and a game tester and a movie critic and a cinematographer and a director and a story lead and an illustrator at some point, and gotta try it before I can knock it ya know?

28. Dream trip: anywhere, so long as its with the people I really love. One day, I'll pack a few things into my car and run away for a little while. I'll come back some day! But for those long hours on the road with another person or two, marvelling quietly at the world around them as it passes and listening to music in the car... that sounds like a nice temporary reprieve.

29. favorite food: i fucken love poki bowl. SPICY SEAFOOD + RICE YAAAaaas

30. nationality: was born in murica, but both my parents are immigrants from now-ukraine. So we all speak russian at home lul.
