Design for scavenger

Secretly he wants to be an autobot but doesn't want to tell his mutant friends because he's scared they'll make fun of him for it

Scavenger is a transmetal mutant construction worker, like all the mutants his job is to alter terrain to better fit tarantulas' purposes, to aid in this task he's uniquely built to house a colony of miniscule ant minicons within his body, the ants are biologically pre disposed to obey scavenger, they live to serve. even though most of them aren't happy with this situation they can't express it since their voices are outside the usual transformer range of hearing. A sick joke on tarantulas' part

Scavenger is possessed of a profound kindness, and a gentle touch, if his arms weren't razor sharp drills and high powered pistons he wouldn't hurt a fly, but as it stands he's a danger to himself and the people around him, without fingers to hold things he must resort to using his mouth and...well you can see the problem with that. His teeth are attached to pressure sensitive plates that cause him to clatter like a wind up toy when enough weight is applied. Shredding whatever he's holding in his mouth to pieces

Dispite the walls in place between scavenger's dream of being a caretaker and his existence as a demolisher, he takes what he can get, as well.. a scavenger, and takes care of plants and animals that he and his ants rescue during construction work, one day they accidentally caught a human, the autobot minerva separated from her guardian robot after a failed attempt to take the transmetal driver back from the six clan.

The ants took her back to the mutant's secret underground lair where scavenger kept his other wounded animals, before the other mutants could arrive and notice the human girl, she woke up and maybe because she too is connected to another mind, like the ants or maybe because human ears are just different, she could understand the ant's speech and learned all sorts of little secrets from them including scavenger's autobot sympaties

When scavenger came back, he immediately tried to escort the little girl out of the mutant's den in the process minerva told him what the ants told her, and talked him into joining the autobots in the hopes they could fix the things that plagued him, upon arriving at the gate of autobot city, minerva's guardian nurse easily removed the motor that caused scavenger's teeth to clatter and replaced his solid drills with proper claws. But removing his bond to the ants was a little more tricky

So she got help from the autobot engineers, who made a simple solution but wowed scavenger with their projects, particularly how large and in charge bots like bulkhead and leadfoot were able to work alongside delicate equipment dispite their bulk. everything scavenger ever wanted. Seeking to learn the secrets of his new friends scavenger works as a veterinarian in autobot city right between the medical center and R&D department in terratronus' left leg,

Your next friend

So this energy is kind of hard to pin down. Maybe this is yours or your next friend’s energy. They may be a past friend that drifted off? Either way this person is currently withdrawn and may want to be invisible. They may feel tired mentally and emotionally. This person might’ve lost some ambition or faith in what they’re working on? This grievance especially applies to their dreams towards a financial/material circumstance. They may have worked very hard on their goals only to find it “didn’t” pay off like they thought it would. Despite their situation they’re strong willed — they’ll find a way to get the ball rolling in their court. Yes they may have been hopeless but they still always find a way to balance it out. This may not be for everyone but they could be a coworker. They’re also very fair and balanced when it comes to their energy. They may also like the finer things in life but right now they may feel lost. This person may speak a lot. They may have a Gemini mercury/Jupiter-Mercury.

A step to connect

I get the feeling that constant and clear communication is a huge aspect in this friendship. When a problem arises it’s not you vs your friend but you and your friend vs the problem. Perhaps you two may have experienced the scarier side of confrontation/anger. I’m also getting the sense that you or this person dealt with some sort of resentment that shook your/this person's world. Overall you two may feel like things cannot be left unsaid and misunderstood. By having this clear communication everything balances and you two can get through stormy waters together. I’m also getting – even if there is a heated argument you two will feel safe because of communication and understanding both of your needs.

Friendship dynamic

Funny enough I thought of your dynamic as two captains on a pirate ship. You two work very well together, especially when it comes to goals and projects. I’m getting that one is especially good with strategy and the other executing the plans. You two may be opposites but for good reason — where one lacks the other can fill. It’s like guiding one another. Yes you two may be each other’s anchor when times get tough, but one of you can be the chain to pull them out of treacherous waters. It’s a very balanced dynamic.

Your next friend

You may be meeting your next friend when they’re coming out of their shell. They might’ve hidden who they were or limited their self-expression in order to conform to their surroundings. However they somehow had a breakthrough? Or maybe they got tired of restrictions. Either way they’re embracing who they are and going on a self discovery moment. This is for a few of you, you may know this person already and noticed a difference which intrigued you. Overall I feel like this person left their true self behind only to reunite and make that bond with themselves even more stronger and brighter. Also they may be the life of the party even if they’re on the quieter side.

A step to connect

The very first thing I’m getting is: “let them come to you”. For some reason it just feels more “magical”? Besides that you may meet them through an online or in real life community. I also feel like this is a place where a lot of interactions take place. You may even be the one hosting the event and they take interest. Either way they will like the way you think and speak, how you conduct yourself when you communicate. There’s also this spark — like you just get along and your conversations bounce back to one another. This may sound a little annoying but this friend is gonna come “unannounced” like you won’t expect it cause you’re so busy with other things; hence they’ll be the one coming to you.

Friendship dynamic

Omg pile 2 this is so cute! Your friendship will be emotionally fulfilling and very balanced. Theirs an equal give and take. This also gives off a found family vibe. Like I get the feeling that (mainly) you or (maybe) this person will introduce each other to more people. There’s this feeling of expanding the friendship. This also feels like a summer (the season) dynamic. Like this friendship is so warming, eventful, fun and just overall wholesome.

Your next friend

Your next friend has dreams that they want to pursue but have trouble taking initiative or they aren’t in a place to take them. They give off Ismael from The Seven Lives of Lea vibe. They’re restricted by the outside world and they yearn so deeply to achieve their dreams as well as the love they deserve. This friend is very passionate and very “family/friend” oriented. They are someone who puts their all into their connection and dreams. And when they dream they include their friends as well. They give off the; if I eat we ALL eat vibe — this person has a generous heart but is not naive.

A step to connect

You may have connections or some knowledge connected to their goals. I get the feeling that you two have a bit of a different approach when it comes to goals but it’ll also help yours and their growth. You two may feed each other ideas as well as encourage them. These things may come in as a shock; let’s say you’re talking about coffee then the idea hits the two of you. It’s like an aha! Moment. Besides that you two kind of become a mentor to each other. Helping each other attain your goals by discussion. Think of things one of you didn’t ever think about and think outside of the box.

Friendship dynamic

Your friendship dynamic is very disciplined and encouraging. You both encourage each other to keep on going, to keep attaining that goal even if it’s for just a second. This dynamic is very inspiring and because you two are motivating each other it opens up an emotional bond that’s kind of new to you. It’s almost like you never experienced this type of platonic love. It’s like through being each other's motivators you became best friends? It’s like watching a sports movie and seeing the mc and coach hugging each other when they win.

It is!! It’s the official celebratory artwork for Bai Yao Pu’s three year anniversary from 2023:

And they even animated it with Tao Yao’s VA reading something out as a poetic thank you!:

Apparently it’s also the cover of the official donghua art book, which I found out while looking for it on Weibo, as shown here and here. 👀

Heck, I’ll add a few more photos they uploaded from the art book just because it’s pretty: 🤧

There’s actually one more poster for Bai Yao Pu hanging above the three year anniversary artwork and Lu Guang in this shot here:

And it’s a promotional artwork (maybe for Children’s Day?) from around season 2 that showcases both Tao Yao as she is now and Tao Yao as a child!:

EDIT: Oops didn’t look carefully enough and there’s another in the first screenshot, beside a repeat of the poster with both adult Tao Yao and child Tao Yao!:

Honestly I didn’t recognize this poster and made a guess based on the shape of the characters shown since their backs are facing us, and I’m glad I was right because I had to scroll all the way back to 2022 for this one SLFJSKS. It’s apparently the poster they released to announce the return of season 3 and to tease the new characters. It was then used for multiple trivia posts about ancient China, maybe in collaboration with a museum/organization and in correspondence with the episodes’ plots, like this one for episode 11 about the Song dynasty and renting houses:

PS: Back to Link Click having an anime club, I like that it may be an “anime” club—because evidently that’s what 动画 (donghua) translates to, with anime and donghua both obviously meaning “animation,” so all such clubs would feature anime—yet pretty much all the posters/references in Lu Guang’s specific club seem to be for donghua hehe.

Briefly breaking the fourth wall, in meta, this is very much so the style of donghua studios to reference their fellow contemporaries’ projects in a show of support, but also just one of Bilibili’s favourite things to do as fun marketing. 😆

To not break the fourth wall though, I do think it’s cute that this insinuates Lu Guang, alongside his fellow club-goers, are just big supporters of domestic animation lol. 🤭

Bai Yao Pu References in Link Click: Yingdu Chapter

I’m pretty sure the poster behind Lu Guang is another image of the protagonist, Tao Yao

But I can’t find the image for it gjdgjds

[cozylittleartblog]

if star wars was pitched for the first time in today's entertainment industry it would be turned down. and so would any other thing that's currently a "big IP". where do idiot executives think the IPs come from to begin with???

[alternautxyz]

uuhhh in other new that lmk s5 trailer dropped and people are very

mixed

for context the new season is being partly animated by wildbrain i think. flying bark is still working on the show but probably due to all the other projects they've been working on like the atla movie the animation is off.

its understandable that people are upset. lmk has some of the most consistently dynamic and lively animation ive ever seen, and going from that to ok animation kinda sucks. as a culmination of a lot of what the series has been building up to people were inevitably going to be disappointed

at the same time people shouldnt harass animators. like ever. no amount of trying to petition or anything will change the s5, people are just trying to do their job and theres no probably no major changing to the finished product by now. and theres still a lot of that lmk charm in there, and we haven't even seen the whole season yet to judge it. flying bark is still working on it, and even if the animation never reaches the peak of the old seasons it still has the same writers so at least the writing has the chance to live up old standards. idk though we'll just have to wait and see

[iknowwhereyousleepatnight]

[good-beans]

I’ve talked about media that “has a character for everyone” and I think that’s one of the things that’s really effective for Milgram’s emotional impact on the audience – especially because it does it in a unique way from other media. 

Though I discovered it recently, I’ve already seen many “if you forgive x you’re a horrible person,” “if you condemn x it’s on sight” type posts for all characters. (Which, yeah, are bad, but also) I find it deliciously entertaining to see that Milgram spread their cast out enough to reach any audience. 

It’s not just “oh I also have murderous thoughts so I’m projecting onto this murderer :)”, it’s “I was a victim and this character gives me catharsis and had the strength for the revenge that I craved.” It’s “I, too, would be pushed to great lengths for the one I love out of desperation.” It’s “there was a time I was young and didn’t know better, I did some shit too.” And so on – It covers so many character types that even people who have never been in the same situations find traits/symbols to relate to. Maybe you’re nothing like Fuuta, but could think “I was online during the pandemic and felt crushed by injustice, all I craved was justice and belonging.” Maybe you’re nothing like Mahiru, but could think “(even if it wasn't romantic love,) I’ve been blinded by the bliss of finally getting a taste of something I’ve wanted my whole life and lost sight as it consumed me.” 

And this isn’t a traditional case of getting attached to characters in media, because you actually have to watch this person, that some part of you identifies with and finds reassurance/catharsis in, as they are judged black-and-white by the public.

Milgram packs such a punch because we feel parts of ourselves getting judged by the public, as well.
