all i can think about is soft!benny :'(

benny who doesn't give a fuck when the boys hoot and holler and give him shit whenever you're within ten feet of one another. benny who tips his chin, fights a smile, and docks his jaw atop your head as you stand in front of him while cal prattles on about stacking donuts on his dick. benny who tugs you into his lap at any and every opportunity because he wants you close close close. benny who let you paint his nails because you asked so nicely. benny who promises each time he leaves your sight that he'll return. benny who helps you slide into his jacket; who grabs the lapels and presses a kiss on your nose before letting you go. benny who takes you on late-night rides because you told him you couldn't see the stars for the light pollution. benny who doesn't talk, not much, but never hesitates to whisper a firm "i love you." in your ear when he gets the chance. benny who smiles so warmly at you when you're rambling because jesus christ you're the most darling thing he's ever laid eyes on. benny who knows this life is dangerous and wants to protect you. benny who laces your fingers together in crowds. benny who stands outside of bathrooms whenever you and your girlfriends are in there. benny who lets you be you. who loves you in the most purest of ways because you love him. benny :'(

theyre still very silly (redraw of this!)

[tonydaddingham]

aziraphale constantly expresses his admiration and adoration for crowley by telling him he's nice, and good, and thanks him for what he does for him, calls him all the time to tell him things, "our car" and "our bookshop". and then dear, sweet crowley, who cannot go a single minute without doing something for aziraphale, driving him around everywhere, looking after and tidying the bookshop, indulging him in his earthly pleasures and quaint little hobbies, saving him even when he doesn't necessarily ask to be saved, "little demonic miracle of my own" and "alright, I'll do that one, my treat."

their methods of communicating their - friendship, affection, love - are set.

let's look at the bandstand, where crowley offers to magic them away, away from earth and the loom of armageddon, and aziraphale retaliates with stating that they're not friends and he's doesn't even like him. let's look at the So Did I argument, where crowley offers to whisk gabriel away and dump him on the moors so aziraphale doesnt have to deal with it and is no longer under threat from the former archangel, and aziraphale practically begs crowley to stay, that he'd "love [him] to help [him]".

their methods of communicating their - friendship, affection, love - are being rejected; they're not working.

let's look at 1967, where aziraphale gives in to giving crowley the holy water, but refuses the lift to anywhere he wants to go, and crowley offers to thank aziraphale, but refuses to hear aziraphale's verbal concerns about the danger it poses to him, "you told me what you think - 105 years ago." let's look at the final fifteen, where aziraphale offers to restore crowley to what he thinks crowley has always been yearning for, and crowley tries to tell aziraphale exactly what he means to him, put it into words what he hopes aziraphale will see through and understand.

their methods of communicating their - friendship, affection, love - are swapped, and break them apart altogether.

swapping those methods, in a guesswork effort to reach the other person better, isn't the answer. the action, and what is being said, is what needs to change. crowley offers things that aziraphale doesn't want, or goes against who he is fundamentally, and aziraphale says things that wound crowley deeply, reducing what they are to nothing in a few sharp words. so instead crowley tries to use words, and aziraphale tries to offer an act of devotion; but this doesn't work either - arguably, it's worse!

what they communicate needs to be clearer, not how. crowley needs to stay with aziraphale when he promises that he will, and not attempt to solve problems by running from what he doesn't want to face, threatening to abandon him in the process. aziraphale needs to express outright, plainly, what crowley needs to hear; that exactly as he is, everything that he is, is everything that aziraphale wants and respects and loves. and to be able to do that, they need start by giving each other the respect of acknowledging their respective boundaries, their fears, and what principles are important to them.

they've had their methods right all along, but what they're currently saying with them doesn't make sense. it's the french all over again; the words can be translated, "but you understood me!", but that doesn't mean that it makes any sense.

GUY IM LITERALLY LOSING MY MIND RIGHT NOW. LIKE THE FUCKING SNAKEBITES?????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND??? i’m about to give him the ride of his life. A RIDE HE WILL NOT SURVIVE.

[rory-multifandom-mess]

i see you've gotten yourself into the rabbit hole that is the transformers franchise! So here's a simple question:

Out of all the iterations you've seen, who's your favorite Autobot and favorite Decepticon?

Oh my GOODDD. Give me a second to even remember all the iterations I’ve seen one second

Ok so MTMTE/LL, Prime, Rescue Bots and Rescue Bots Acadamy, Animated, and Armada. I’ll start with Animated because that was the first one I was introduced to.

~~~~

Tranformers: Animated - Favorite Autobot has definitely got to be Bumblebee, but Jazz is a close second. I see a lot of myself in that lil yellow guy— constantly being picked on for his height, self esteem issues that come off as over confidence, constantly wanting to prove himself— yeah that’s just me but in robot font. And much worse. Jazz being a close second is entirely because he was just really cool.

Now my favorite Decepticon from Animated is 1,000% Blitzwing. I fucking LOVED his german accent and his personality switch gimmick. I hope it’s not disrespectful to call it a gimmick, but like. If you watch the show it really is just a gimmick. You got the cold and calm one, usually the main face, the brute with all the anger in the world, and then the Batshit Crazy guy. He’s so incredibly silly. I love him.

(The rest under the cut, this is gonna get long)

~~~~

Tranformers: Prime - Favorite Autobot is EAAASILYY Smokescreen. How could you NOT like him??? His character arc is one of, if not THE, best in the whole series. He first joins the Autobots acting like a new cadet, arrogant and sloppy, but raring to fight and throw himself headfirst into battle. He was kind of rude to the others, but through experience and making mistakes, he begins to mature and apologizes when needed. He beats himself up when he makes mistakes, no matter how small (me too).

But then, at the end of season 2 and beginning of season 3 I think, he goes through something traumatic. Optimus, nearly dead, presents the matrix to him, saying that it was time for a new prime, and that prime was to be him. And like. You expect Smokescreen to take it. BUT HE DOESN’T. Instead he goes and brings the Forge of Solus Prime to Optimus and REVIVES HIM.

Smokescreen refuses the Matrix of Leadership, not because he was in denial about Optimus dying, but because he recognized that he wasn’t ready. He showed humility, something he hadn’t shown since he arrived, and he showed compassion. Like. Just. LOOK AT THIS CLIP FROM THE MOVIE.

Anyway. Smokescreen makes me ill. Moving on

My favorite Decepticon from Prime is Shockwave. For no good reason other than god he’s hot. His voice…. his walk….. he could eviscerate me and I’d thank him.

~~~~

MTMTE/LL - Now I would call this IDW but I don’t want to be misleading since I haven’t exactly read every single IDW comic in existence, so I’ll just stick to the story I read a lot. ANYWAY. Favorite autobot is Rung, obviously. Who do you think I am. Lovable psychiatrist who gets forgotten about a lot despite being these bots’ psychiatrist for like 6 centuries (RED ALERT). Anyway. And he has a ✨✨Dark Secret✨✨. Which is. The fact he is LITERALLY GOD. But it’s ok because he didn’t know it either. aND THEN HE DIES AND HIS FINAL WISH IS DON’T FORGET ME AND GUESS WHAT EVERYONE D- [gets shot]

Rung makes me ill.

First Aid is a close second. He also makes me ill. Lengthwise…… (<- obscure reference)

Favorite Decepticon… Is really hard to decide because there are so many good options in MTMTE/LL. I’ll pick two for this one, since they’re part of opposing groups within the Decepticons anyway. Those two are Fulcrum and Kaon.

Fulcrum is part of the Scavengers, along with Krok, Crankcase, Spinister, Misfire, and Flywheels. Though he like instantly dies. Anyway. I think I just really like his design and personality, since there really isn’t any arc with this guy. He’s just silly.

And then there’s Kaon, who is part of the D.J.D. (Decepticon Justice Division. To those who don’t know them, they’re a group of Decepticons lead by Tarn who go around the galaxy killing Decepticons who went rogue, awol, or just strayed up betrayed the Decepticon clause. And they don’t just. Bam dead, they torture their victims, killing them slowly and brutally.) He turns into an electric chair and I mostly like him because of his design and he seems like the silliest of the D.J.D. having that attachment with The Pet n’ all. No character arc to ramble about. I just like him.

~~~~

Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy - Favorite Autobot is Easy Peasy! That would be Hot Shot for mostly the same reasons as Animated Bee and Prime Smokescreen. I see A lot of myself in him, and his character arc is absolutely amazing. Basically the same as Smokescreen’s, except he doesn’t witness someone almost die LMAO

There aren't any Decepticons in RBA, but I will say my favorite of the teacher was Blades, which leads me to my next iteration!

~~~~

Transformers: Rescue Bots - Keep in mind, I'm still in the middle of watching this one, so I'm only up to season 2 episode... 4 or 5, I can't remember. Anyway. Favorite Autobot is Blades, as previously mentioned. He's just so silly, and I adore the fact he's such a huge Bumblebee fan. I love the idea of him, a helicopter, being scared of heights. Me too buddy, me too.

Again RB does not have any decepticons as far as I'm aware, and I hardly remember any of the villains.

~~~~

And lastly, Transformers: Armada - Much like RBA, my favorite Autobot in this whole 4 season long series was Hot Shot. I don't remember his exact character arc since it's been a year since I started watching the show, but I do remember I liked it a lot. He was silly and goofy and, much like Smokescreen, matured over time. Oh, and also GODDAMNIT HIS VOICE. It's so soft and adorable and everything but when he yells oh BOY does he YELL. That shit gets GRAVELLY and HOARSE. Oh and also he's voiced by Brent fuckign Miller, the same dude who voices Zane in Ninjago, so... You can say I'm biased because Zane is my favorite ninja.

And as for favorite Decepticon, though he doesn't end up actually being a Decepticon but he is still an antagonist so I'm counting it anyway, is Sideways. And it's entirely because of his voice because I don't remember what he was like before season 4. IT'S SO FUCKING HOT PLEASE HEAR ME OUT ON THIS.

Also, he's voiced by the same guy who voices Sensei Wu also in Ninjago. Take that as you will.

~~~~

I LOVE RAMBLING!!! WOOOO. Anyway uuh. Here's a long answer to a simple question. Enjoy.

[dreamtydraw]

*cry in agony* I MISS MY WIFE-

Do you remember that when you go into his mind his dream is about celebrating his birthday with people he loves and them loving him back regardless of his flaw ? He dreams that his best friends are here and his sister is happy for him Because i always think of it, and i always think of the fact that the writing on the door is wrong because sage can’t read…

Do you think about the fact that in his dream mc is there with all this people who cares about him and in his mind mc is feeding him cake and is called « his favorite person »

I think about it often-

[megablade]

etho saying "so you were gonna make a boat with a NEW FRIEND huh joel?" to joel who wanted to settled down at the ocean with jimmy. collapses to the floor

[multi-fandomdisaster]

I feel like working with Nibbly would have a lot of Little Shop of Horrors vibes. I feel like working with him on an individual basis would probably involve having a Seymour/Audrey II-type relationship with him, you know?

[thr4shit]

BOUTA GO VVRRBRBRBRBRRRBRBRBR- :)

[lesbianlinguist]

My two year old nephew (not biologically related) got diagnosed with autism, something which we've suspected for a while, and his parents are making such an effort to educate themselves and make sure he gets all the accommodations he needs now and in the future and I'm just so proud of my friends, gen Z parents yall maybe there is hope for the future

[hermitshell]

YOU🫵

I swear your tower ouroboros was actually a prediction! gempearl onesided breakup caused by a misunderstanding + towers are being built + tilly / billy + scarlet pearl creeping in

See the thing is I think it would've ended up a prediction either way, the nature of Pearl's life series is that it always ends up cycling back in some way

For every life series since dl, pearl has built a tower; Pearl is always drawn towards wolves and/or having an animal companion; and her reputation has never really escaped her, in last life she was seen as fairly reasonable outside her alliance (i believe scott said something along the lines of being glad he was allied with her and not against her at one point) but past dl people are much more willing to think of her as any team's wildcard (and i mean they're not always necessarily wrong but also she's just a silly guy)(and regardless of shenanigans, she's loyal!! She's loyal to those she commits herself to to a fault)

i got off track. Point is that i think traffic!pearl is in a constant state of ouroboros relating to dl :O after all, pearl said it herself that she never really left that tower

[nico-the-overlord]

this has SUCH meme potential

[vaguely-humanoid-form]

I have naut posted art in here in like. a hot second so have arasolfefnep doodles because they are very near and dear to my heart

edit: don't mind the numbers I was counting how many times each character appeared on the page so I'd be able to balance it out

SPOILERS FOR JRWI RIPTIDE EP 115 !!

losing my mind because caspian is innocent i feel it in my balls but like i was trying to think who else would the mole be??

and it can’t be marshall john— i was about to raise that he couldn’t have feasibly fought off the navy wayy back in episode 1, and perhaps they brought him back in and forced him to be a spy (which could explain his early obsession w/the grand berry pirates and finding lizzie) but like. if this was the case, why would they have put him in the block? let him freeze nearly to death? like usually that’s not what you do with your own spies.

but then also. like. some of my mutuals suggested rudith (hi guys ily muah) and. rudith is a doctor, he had a life previously on joaldo, which is neutral (or is it pirate?) soil. of course, we could ask who trained him? could it have been navy? it’s possible but i just don’t think grizzly would elect for that writing choice. also i believe rudith actually got dropped off in edison kingdom w/his patients. or maybe i’m insane

i think that any other members who joined the grandberry crew just… wouldn’t work out as spies/traitors. they came in way too late. they wouldn’t have as many secrets or intel, wouldn’t be as high in the “ranks”.

but caspian, we don’t really know where he came from. he told gillion a little bit about his family but that’s it.

caspian was there when shadowbeard and ava died. i’m unsure if they mentioned how long he was with shadowbeard’s crew beforehand.

and if he’s there at this upcoming battle that lizzie leads, the parallels would be insane— jay watching lizzie die, the same way lizzie watched ava die.

^ caspian pulling jay out. having the motivation to do so because she’s the vice admiral’s daughter, and could also be a bargaining chip against the riptide pirates.

i said the stuff about caspian before and this is me saying it again and just. trying really hard to think of any scenario where he’s innocent. it may be joever guys

[marietheran]

yours truly is so dramatically filthyly stupid
