What happened to water? A nice, good, ol fashioned cup of lemonade? Why did we have to start drinking things like peanut butter milkshakes and Malibu-milk drinks?

I just realized. One thing that Optimus will certainly be educated on by the Primes in the Haunted AU is the various was One Can Kill A Quintesson! Leaving some Autobots confused at times when he's teaching them in return because 'This sounds pretty Specific...???'

It's slightly competitive on the Primes' part because yeah, the Deceptions do got the High Guard being good at killing Quintessons too but. They're the Real Experts. (Are they salty? Naaaah they're not. Much. Kinda.)

AKJSHDK YEAH YOU'RE SO RIGHT I LOVE THAT <333

they got so good at squishing the goddamn bugs and they're thrilled they can save Optimus the pain of figuring out their weak points through trial and error like they did. they're gonna make a pro out of their baby brother in no time.

and if they just so happen to know some of the Decepticons will be majorly pissed off at the fact OP is already on par with the best of what used to be the High Guard when he only has a fraction of their experience... well, happy coincidences, y'know?

and if they happen to teach Optimus how to crack open a Quintesson in just the right way to make some Decepticons see ghosts through him... that's between them and the people they're haunting :)

HOW ARE WE FEELING TWST ROOK FANS

[thethunderthedragonfruit]

i finished my cyclonus model so i figured i'd do a small interaction with tailgate as a warmup since it's been a while. i should do more small, looping animations like this. they're fun.

[lbhslefttiddie]

the qiong ding peak disciples 100% have petty beef with lbh for stealing their favourite didi lmao

they're not gonna Actually beat him up (without Reason) but they're very emphatic about how thoroughly they WILL if lbh messes with sy. it's like a shovel talk that never ends

sy isn't actually completely oblivious to whats going on but he doesn't get why they're like this and he thinks theyre being fucking stupid (and he trusts them to not actually bully binghe) so he's elected to ignore their antics entirely

[ultopias]

what is the ship name for us intl fans 😭💔 is there one. i've been calling them gilzel in my head. can i call them that. please let me know 🤲🤲🤲

Can you guys guess what I've been playing

[f-imaginings]

Sometimes I look at the new posts circulating in the billford tag and have moments of going "I agree and have already explored this, you should read Knowing Me Knowing You where I play with the exact idea you're talking about" but then I hold myself back.

I've had 8 years of hyperfixating over billford so of course I've had more time to think about the concepts folks are discovering now and it would be obnoxious of me to take away the joy of discovery people are feeling exploring these concepts.

I guess I just wish more people would read the fic, instead of avoiding all human bill fics on principle. Kind of feels like they're missing out on the exact things they want to see BC they think triangle Bill only fics are the only way his characterisation can be upheld well.

i was talking to my brother about the power scaling of the strawhats / the way people view usopp.

when i pointed out that usopp is bad in close range because he’s SUPPOSED to be far away as a sniper and shouldn’t be expected to fight up close and personal like sanji, luffy, and zoro because of that he said “oh..i never thought of it that way”

Thinking abt Michael when he was a kid vs how he is now, and what has (or hasn't) changed since then tbh

Like. I imagine Michael has always been pretty gangly and tall as hell. Its the Marfans, yknow? But as a teenager, he had just a bit more muscle. He was never muscular—he's just not built like that—but he HAS always been deceptively strong. Like, STUPID strong. Even after healing from the scooping (because, let's be real, he's not unscathed), he's pretty scary thanks to the combination of his height and strength. Dude came out of puberty 6 foot freaking 6.

Something that, surprisingly, hasn't changed a ton is his attitude. He was definitely way more energetic and meaner as a teenager prior to the Bite, and afterwards he closed off massively. But he's always been pretty grumpy and sarcastic with a dry and pretty morbid sense of humor (which very much got worse after some of the more traumatizing events in his life). And especially after the Bite, he was very snippy and extremely closed off, pushing everyone away (with the exception of one Sammy Emily- but he didn't stay for long, once his mother came to get him).

These days, Michael is... a bit calmer, even if he's still grumpy. He definitely still struggles with his anger—anger management never worked out—but he's less likely to physically lash out unless you give him a real good reason to. He's still a huge loner, but its moreso out of an actual liking to stay alone than self punishment. He's kinda just known as the weird guy on the block, and then the grumpy old man that the kids love visiting on Halloween (Michael goes all out, its his favorite holiday), and when he moves back to Hurricane, he's that Afton guy whose dad was probably a serial killer and accidentally killed his little brother. And then he's also Mr. Afton (eugh, he hates that), the grumpy old guy who runs the nearby Freddy's and has a shady background and is also probably some kind of cryptid (some people swear they saw him die when they were a kid, like full on rotting corpse die, and then get back up. No one believes it, obviously, but Michael jokes about it).

Michael, as a kid, definitely didn't have as many scars as he does now. He had a few from rough housing, or from little accidents when he was really small, but nothing big.

That is, until William had the genius idea to use a springlock suit to scare Michael as a punishment for talking back too many times, confident the springlocks wouldn't actually go off. Unfortunately, Michael barely survived it, and the springlock suits were officially retired afterwards. (He freaks the fuck out on night 4 in Sister Location because of this. He never wanted to be in a springlock suit again, let alone in the very suit that nearly killed him. He let's himself have a panic attack when he gets home)

After he heals from the scooping and Ennard wearing him like a meatsuit, he has even more scars. Tears in his skin from the wires, the massive gouge that runs from his throat to his lower stomach, and scars on the sides of his face from when Ennard ripped itself out of him and tore his jaw open.

A combination of these events left Michael disabled (as you might imagine). He typically requires a crutch to get around, and on bad (or busy) days, he'll use a wheelchair. Plus he has body and leg braces. He also deals with POTS and pretty frequent dislocations. Essentially, he's kind of falling apart. He does pretty regular physical therapy to keep himself from getting worse.

One perk of the scooping is that he's chock fucking full of Remnant. It helped heal him (accelerated his natural healing abilities, plus did its own healing), so these days he's much faster at recovering and healing, and it... slowed down his aging. By FFPS, he appears like he's in his late 30s, early 40s, even though he's actually in his mid to late 50s. He just claims its good genes. Michael is a little annoyed his dad was kind of right about Remnant, even if it didn't like, give him immortality or anything, just slowed down his aging.

Something that hasn't changed at all is that Michael wants kids. Ever since he was a teenager, he really wanted his own. Unfortunately, a combination of factors lead to him never having his own. Despite that, he adores kids, and he's fantastic with them. (In a perfect world, he would adopt Vanessa and Gregory, and be with Sammy, who also has Cassie.)

A big thing that's changed is how much Michael cares about resembling his father. For a long time, he hated that he looked identical to his father, and shared quite a few of the same mannerisms. But after 30 years, Michael... really struggles to care. He's long since accepted who he looks like. He knows he's nothing like William in the ways that actually matter. (At least, during and prior to FFPS. Afterwards... its complicated.)

Just. Shakes Michael. He's so interesting
