im gonna shoot myself if i see one more person say in complete confidence that the hightiers were never held accountable for what they did, that john was punished too severely in comparison, or that the high tiers didnt grow as characters.

johns actions are much more extreme than the high tiers', except maybe arlo. isen, blyke, remi, and most other high tiers were more focused on their own lives than terrorizing weaker people. most of the high tiers' (basically all of them sans arlo) problems were naivete, not realizing the flaws in their system. while johns actions did serve the purpose of showing the high tiers what its like to be weak so that they can realize what is wrong with the hierarchy, johns violence was more extreme than his bullies' and lowkey he was terrorizing EVERYONE, even the people who never did anything to him. johns actions are more extreme, so he gets more extreme repurcussions.

unordinary fans look me in the eye and say that john, who had been terrorizing everyone for at least a month Minimum, shouldnt have to deal w people bsing terrified of him. girl use ur brains. people are scared of john bc he has proved himself unreasonable and cruel, while none of them had problems w arlo (bc arlos actions towards most of them were 1. almost 3 years ago, and 2. considered normal by their society bc as the leader of the school he is also considered the disciplinarian whenever students act up, not considering teachers. his beating up people was different than johns beating up people) and none of the other hightiers had done really anything. cecile isnt innocent btw but none of them had problems w her either bc the few interactions weve seen her have with the common student (juni) seemed friendly..basically the people had little reason to fear the other high tiers outside of their power but john had taken his time making himself a person to fear. fr he was trying to terrify them?? why are we prtending that its unreasonable for them to be scared of him can we please be serious

also johns legal punishment in new bostin and suspension in wellston were both reasonable bc he was regularly hospitalizing people and completely out of control. i dont think u guys realize how strong john is. whenever someone who is seriously described as godlike in power ("god" tier as a term is not that much of an exaggeration by regular human standards) starts going around and beating the shit out of everyone important in a show of power something has to be done. john was EXTREMELY dangerous. also "the punishment wasnt equal" is literally kind of the plot. johns mental spiral at wellston was supposed to expose the unfairness in the system and show how bullies and vicious people should not be able to get away with the things they do to weaker people. we dont think john is that strong bc we're surrounded by the strong in the story, but he is IMMENSELY powerful and should not have been left unchecked. (note, im not saying he deserved readjustment. there should have been a punishment for his literal several counts of felony assault but readjustment was literally psychological torture and he was a month into being 16.)

the hightiers were criticised and held accountable, either by themselves or others. arlo knows full well that he played apart in johns mental spiral and apologised multiple times. remi knows full well that she was naive and should have realized the problem sooner, then takes active steps to solve it and creates a safe space for people of different ranks. blyke literally apologised for shooting at john and had a whole arc of realizing low tier conditions during the x rei outings and trying to be nicer to john and low tiers. idk if isen apologised properly but it is also clear that he knows better than to do what hes done now. the safe house was literally their way of trying to fix their mistakes and be better going forward. aka taking accountability and then working towards being better people??? hello???

also saw somebody say that they acted like the royals had the "moral high ground"... as if they didnt. hello who were the ones actually fixing the problems. who were the ones with real solutions. john was the last in the cast to take accountability and work to be better. john was the schools resident terrorist ??? hospitalizer ??? FELON ??? he has literal FELONY ASSAULT charges fam. and LOTS of them. half his graduating class is actually crazy. since he was rank 427 or something when his ability hadnt come in yet, we can say that there were probably at least 100 people in each grade, since hs is 4 grades. a graduating class is a grade. john beat up 50 people not counting zirian and whoever else in different grades might have attended, not assuming the half the grade thing was an exaggeration. we also arent counting the charges he added at wellston itself. seriously this guy is an absolute menace and the royals were actually better than him morally i dont know why thid is a controversial take in the unordinary fandom. do i have to spell out why "guy with criminal charges for severely injuring 50+ people, probably sending them to the hospital considering he put HIGH TIER remi and blyke in the hospital, who has been terrorizing the school for a while at this point" is worse than "trio of individuals who were raised ignorant to their society's flaws realize the problem and take active steps to fix it, even being so kind as to eventually forgive the guy that put two of them in the hospital like a month prior"

the joker arc is as much johns mental spiral as it is the high tiers' character developments. if u somehow didnt realize that the characters were changing for the better then now u know why fhe english teacher wants you to analyze why the curtain is blue. media literacy come back the kids miss you

AMA about any of my fics!

Hi, my week's been absolutely, singularly terrible and is most likely only going to become more terrible in the next few days.

So, if you have any questions about any of my fics or wips or headcannons, please, please, please feel free to shoot me an ask about them.

I could really use any distraction right now.

Overview of Fics and WIPs below the cut because I have a long, long list of projects:

Fics:

A Little Left of Right

Champions Aren't Born

Dreaming of Home

Make You Feel Alright (+ companion fics!)

Nooks & Crevices

various oneshots

WIPs/Ideas:

Numb Little Bug (TFP rewrite; Bee as a sort of disciple [honestly, not entirely sure if that's the correct English word] of Primus/mildly possessed by a weird feeling - 1st chapter is almost finished)

TF One Prequel (focuses on B-127's life up until meeting Dee and Orion, features Dad-Ratchet and at least Brawn, if not more of the Minibots from G1; I have 1 prologue and 1 chapter of this finished and might upload it next weekend)

Starsabre Possession AU (something lives in the Starsabre and takes posession of Bee when he dies at the fight at the Omegalock)

Megatron "Fake Redemption" Arc (TFP; not entirely sure if the redemption arc would really be fake or not because I have complicated feelings on redeeming someone like Megs, especially in TFP - maybe I'd also do an Amnesia arc; anyway, I'd want to explore Bee's feelings towards that and especially towards it happening in his direct vicinity + I want to do something A Monster Calls-Esque where he talks to the spirits of the Primes in order to make sense of all of this; + I'd imagine him running away at some point or another and hanging out with KOBD who've abandoned the Cons at that point)

Humanformers/Mecha AU (probably based on TFP, maybe a mix of different stuff - Earth and Cybertron are parallel dimension versions of the same planet and Shockwave creates a portal between them; and then throws a few people through it in order to test it out - among them Predaking and Bee; later a rescue mission consisting of a few more Autobots as well as more Cons also ends up on Earth)

"Bayverse Twist-Up" (Shattered Glass esque rewrite of the Bayverse Movies inspired loosely by Arthurian Literature - although that Arthurian Literature inspo is relatively new so I can't say too much about that part yet)

TF ONE Shatterred Glass (based on Animal Farm by George Orwell)

TFP MegOP after the War (because I need more angry Bee in my life; similar to the Fake Redemption but oneshot focusing on the fallout between Optimus and Bee)

TFP "Back to the Future" AU (I think Bee and Hot Rod going back in time and watching Orion Pax and the crew being friends with Megatronus and working together with him before he turns could be really funny/interesting)

Theoretically I have some more ideas but these are the ones that are the most fleshed out so that I can actually answer some questions about them.

I'm starting to understand why I never finish any of my ongoing projects. Well. Also, yes, my roommate was absolute correct when she said that there's a pattern to my stories and that is torturing Bee.

if you dont mind sharing, what are some of your favorite ska songs/bands?

I will admit I am not a huge band person I tend to be more of a "pick whatever random songs sound good" person, so I can't recommend any good bands. I also listen to Ska Punk, which is a subgenre of Ska... and Punk. So I am not a good authority on Ska songs to listen to I am just someone who is banned from being passed the aux cord...

But some of my favorite songs include:

No Children - Ska (cover)

Quinto Patio Ska

Everything Went Numb

S F D D

And songs by Reel Big Fish tbh. I know I just said I don't listen to specific bands but Reel Big Fish has some pretty good songs like...

Sell Out

And their Take on Me cover

Here's my disclaimer, though: I am not into music subcultures I just listen to whatever sounds good (and jazzy punk with horns sounds good), so I could be giving absolutely awful music recommendations that anyone who is especially into Ska (and more specifically Ska Punk) might find egregious. I personally just grab whatever song sounds good and add them to my forever long playlist.

Also the Jabberjaw (Running Underwater) song from Pain used for the Cartoon Network Boomerang Groovies is probably the reason I enjoy Ska punk so much, and it has been in my playlist for years now:

If nothing else in this list interests you, I require everyone by law to listen to Jabberjaw Running Under Water by pain and watch the Cartoon Network Boomerang Groovie video of it. I used to watch Boomerang a million times, and this was probably the only Groovie I really enjoyed watching and didn't go to the bathroom during.

Alright so I just finished Crackerjack, and I have a new pet ship?

Jack Lambert (Distant Thunder) / Jack Wild (Crackerjack)

Because my first thought was "hey, Tig plays a troubled ex cop with PTSD. Let's say Jack Lambert meets Jack Wild as he is picking up his father from a support group? Also, the matching names give plenty of opportunity for shenanigans.

And then @merv606 was like. "Yeah, that's good. But have you thought about Jack Lambert/ Mike Weston (Behind Enemy Lines)?"

And then I got back with "what about Jack Lambert/Frank Wusharsky?" (Blood of the Innocent)

Which was volleyed with "Jack Lambert/Terry Mcain?" (Excessive Force)

Which has left me stuck because Tig plays far too many troubled PTSD stricken cops/soldiers.

So I'm putting it to a vote. Lol.

It. Has. Been. A. Day. But at least it has a happy ending.

So absolutely none of the shelters we tried are taking cats right now. Not even one that is specifically for rescuing orphaned neonatal kittens. There is one that offered to have someone handle the feedings if we would foster the kittens, but the arrangement would be more of an inconvenience that the current situation already is, plus there's this contract you have to sign with a bunch of stipulations that we cannot stick to, and we would basically be stuck with the kittens until the shelter could find a permanent home for them, and it would be very much Not On Our Terms. So that was a bust. Fortunately, my older brother, whose job is VERY part time, offered to take over the feeding and care of the kittens since I don't have the time to do it.

My sister and her fiancé will be footing the bill for food (and the replacement bottle, since I still don't know what happened to the other one). And the kittens will be staying in the barn, since it's warmer in there (and it also puts them closer to my brother), and it's away from the other pets, and my mom—who found out about this whole thing on her way home from the hospital, and is very understanding about the whole thing and NOT stressed because of it. 🙏🏻

Speaking of my mom, she's been told to take it easy, but there are no further recovery instructions, beyond taking her medication, making a couple follow up appointments, and checking with her PCP before flying anywhere (not that she has any plans of doing that). One of the doctors or nurses in the hospital said that in all her years working in this field, she's never seen anyone recover from a brain bleed like this without needing surgery, and she said it was a miracle, not medical care, that fixed the issue, to which my mom replied that she had a lot of people praying for her (and boy has she).

My nephew named one of the kittens Lucky, because he had less eye goop than the others. And the other two are less goopy now as well, now that they've been cleaned up, and they're all looking much healthier than they were yesterday. We named one of the others Houdini, which is self-explanatory, and what we said we would name him "if we were going to keep him" before all the frantic shelter calling. The last one we let my brother name, since he's the one taking care of them, and he has named her Onslow, after Onslow from Keeping Up Appearances.

I gave him the rundown on what all caring for 3-week-old kittens entails, how to heat up the formula and test the temperature (and it is REAL formula now), and I forgot the part about watering it down, I just realized, but it's fine, he has a full bottle that I prepared for now, and I can explain that part later.

So yeah. Mom is home and doing great, and we have three more cats. Also, there are not nearly enough animal shelters that actually do what you would think animal shelters do (and the ones that do are packed), and Animal Control's actual function and capabilities are much, much, much narrower than TV led me to believe.

Since op made this not rebloggable I’m replanting it here.

Simple answer, yes. Long answer, cats are not supposed to be outside cats anymore. Because we have drastically improved our rodent control around food storage areas/homes/storage of any kind really and because we have invented things like cars and other heavy, fast moving machinery, cats should not be outside cats.

Things that have killed cats for millennia are things like birds of prey, coyotes, dogs in general, other cats that can be very territorial, unfortunately humans are added to this list, etc. Not only have the things listed above killed/will kill cats but also more modern things like cars, motorcycles, falling from houses (this happened to a friend’s cat and the cat passed away), again humans have to be added to this because evil people will leave out anti freeze for the local population of outside animals to drink and then die.

There are a ton of reasons why cats should not be outside cats, so if you come across one that has a collar and is outside I would say give the person the benefit of the doubt the first time. If you can, give them a call and see if they have a lost cat. Sadly, 9/10 times they will either not answer or if they do they will say they dumped the cat and don’t want them.

So if you can reunite the cat and its owner and it just happened that the cat got out, super! You reunited a pet and owner. If that same cat comes around again and they are obviously being let outside, take the cat in. Check if they are microchipped. If not, new cat! If yes, I would take them to a shelter you trust, explain to the staff that you’ve already tried reuniting them but the owner keeps letting them out. They may give the cat back to the owner or they not. But it’s at least what you’re able to do.
