you know tbh i know people are joking when they say 'skill issue' to someone failing at a game but it low-key feels a bit ableist for someone to say that because not everyone has the same coordination with their hands or body as someone else and like... people should be allowed to play games for their own enjoyment and not be judged for not being able to do certain stuff in a game 😔

Philza lore :D

I desperately want to make a full animation but I'm wary of losing motivation/not having enough time so I wanted to post some frames just in case I don't get farther

Moved to a new animation program!

What are you even supposed to do in this scenario?

One of the things I really liked about Douglas is Cancelled [SPOILERS AHEAD] was the way the sexual coercion scene was played. It's not forceful. Toby never behaves violently towards Madeline. As he says, she can leave any time she wants. It's not how a lot of people would conceptualise attempted sexual assault. But there's the unspoken threat to Madeline's career hanging over her, and the way Toby continually tries to wear her down and pushes her boundaries further and further, all while trying to gaslight her about it when she becomes uncomfortable. And despite the subtlety, despite all the plausible deniability, there's no doubt about what's happening. That's what's so damning about Douglas's behaviour. He knows. Men (both perpetrators and bystanders) like to play dumb and act as if they're unaware of women's true feelings in situations like these, but they can see it. The discomfort, the terror. Ignoring it is a choice.

The show isn't about a well-meaning man being unfairly persecuted for some inappropriate but ultimately harmless joke he let slip while drunk. It's about a "well-meaning" man who walks away from a frightened young woman in his boss's hotel room because he doesn't want to get involved. He may not be the sort of person who would try coerce someone into sex, but he's not going to do anything about it either. He later calls her his best friend, he genuinely seems to care for her - to the point everyone thinks they're having an affair - but he still laughs about the incident behind her back with his friends. He's still jealous of her success and wants to take her down a peg. There's nothing harmless about any of it.

lets take a break from it all and rest.

Hello! Can I request Starscream with a reader who loves video games, especially older "retro" ones please?

Anon you have waited so long, please accept this humble word train of inconveivale proportions, becuase this went from 'haha Screamy vs tetris' to 'holy shit I can't stop typing-'

Starscream x RetroGamer!Reader

HA!

Such primitive, meagre entertainment. How can you engage in something barely even fit for newsparks??

Yeah, Starscream is waving his ‘technological-race superiority’ around again. You’ve long since learned to roll your eyes, tune him out and turn the tinny volume on your console to maximum just to annoy him.

For all that he snorts and rolls his optics and waxes lyrical about how his games were played in high-speed roulette 5D stratospheric-chess - or whatever - you don’t fail to smugly notice how his wings twitch in time with the music. (Don’t bring it up or he’ll screech about how he can’t get the bouncy little tunes out of his head at 3am. It’s not worth your eardrums.)

And when he DOES pay attention, he’s the kind to aggressively backseat drive.

What’s worse, is that after breathing down your neck and screeching at you to “Jump HIGHER-” (Mario Bros is a relationship tester), he’ll cluck his tongue and smarmily coo at your game over screen until you finally snap and shove the comparatively tiny controller in his face.

The affronted shock lasts a millisecond before he huffs and says such childish little things are beneath him. Obviously.

Your petty revenge is to chat obnoxiously loud to Knockout and spread a rumour on the Nemesis that the Mighty Commander Starscream is too outdated to try anything new, clearly, I mean he’s just so old-

- much screeching shouting and scratched paintjobs later, you find out that he’s simply downloaded the games into his brain and fully intended to not breathe a word to you about it apparently until you died. Prideful bastard.

He HAD intended to tell you, but only after he had gotten an impossibly high score to beat so he could rub it in your cute squishy face.

In a beautifully ironic twist of fate, being as advanced as cybertronians are, the highly simple nature of most retro games actually renders them incompatible, like trying to run a floppy disk through a hadron collider. So while yes Star can play tetris on his break, he cannot simply blitz the levels as expected and call it a day, because the old games have such simple parameters in comparison to how he usually operates.

So he has to actually play.

With no instructions because of course this high strung high maintenance metal bird could not possibly deign to ask you how to play first. That would be demeaning. And he won’t google it either.

You can sit in smug, satisfied peace as you watch him slowly tick through several layers of frustration: wings twitching, claws tapping, optics whizzing to focus on platforms and little 8 bit enemies you can’t see.

But Starscream is still the Second in Command of the Decepticons. And the Decepticons have very stringent security measures.

Soundwave fucking manifesting outside your window one evening was enough to have you pray to every god you’ve ever heard of. Inscrutable, all knowing fucking Soundwave. You regret every conversation you’ve ever had on the Nemesis, oh god your house is probably bugged-

His face screen flickers to life. You blink, as a live stream of the Nemesis command deck appears.

You have, by dint of hanging around too much and a few close encounters with the Autobots, seen cybertronians on the battlefield before. It is nothing compared to the later levels of Pacman on the Nemesis bridge at 1 am.

Soundwaves inscrutable smiley face emoji pings your phone, almong with a simple, translated glyph.

“More? :)”

PS-

Soundwave is Pacman god. Knockout has a soft spot for the Mario games. Starscream fucking loves Galaxian and will die before he ever tells you this. Shockwave, logically, finds Tetris soothing.

Megatron plays pong on his throne sometimes when his usual brooding gives way to inevitable drug induced boredom. It spaces his eyes out to either side nearly completely. Starscream has screenshots of his gormless mug taped to his hab wall to shoot on occasion.

KUNG FU PANDA (2008) dir. John Stevenson & Mark Osborne

[bookshelfdreams]

sowing: I learned how to use a handspindle with a distaff recently (like you see in historical pictures) and it's SO easy, it's literally so easy, I never really got the hang of hand spindles before but this is so easy, the yarn almost spins itself, I could go through this entire 200g braid in 3 days, I could spin enough to make a whole garment!! Bow before me! I am the king and queen of fibre crafting!!!!

reaping: ouch my hand :(

[call-me-casual]

Please more herbie pics my crops are dying

I'm so sorry how could I neglect her adoring fans like this

The little professor's new hobby is fridge inspection!

She can't get enough of it. Get out of there, baby girl. You can't even eat strawberries.

She's been puffing up a lot lately, too, for all sorts of occasions! Surprised? Alarmed? Excited? Trying to ambush daddy while she's doing the dishes? The world may never know*!

*(The world is pretty sure she's startled by my phone here, despite seeing it every day. She splays her toes and bounces more when she's stalking.)
