I meant to do I a whole series of these but I got burnt out. Here the one I fully finished

[smallrat25]

Reep!

[transingthoseformers]

I actually have some ideas for Hybrid Orion Pax's extra Alt Mode. You can thank Digimon and Spectrobes on some of the possibilities. These change with the stimuli or part in mind. A 'focus' if you will.

If his data cables are the focus, then the alt mode design being like Diaboromon here would be accurate. The cables becoming the limbs while his metal parts become weapons or armor. A fast and agile bugger since in a way, Orion/Optimus' Cybertronian body was a shell for an eldritch monster.

Dark Energon exposure? Something like GranDracmon here as Orion/Optimus' body would try to purge it through usage. This twisted visage being a byproduct since he's a direct descendant to the 13th while Dark Energon is Unicron's blood.

Falling from a massive height? An alt similar to Totegarda can fix that. Hovering through the air and channeling electricity through his claws would make Orion/Optimus one hell of a shocker.

Enraged? I believe a form like Spikanor would suit him. Sometimes you need to punch, ram or tail slam all that fury into something. Orion/Optimus will make someone think twice about their decision.

That'd be so cool!!

I haven't kept up with digimon in so long tbh, not since whaaaaat the second season? The first few episodes of the third?

I'm tending towards Diaboromon here, although I had initially imagined for the extra altmode something more reptilian/felid based. Think Predacon crossed with one of the bayverse hatchlings? Kinda? Still definitely the speed and flexibility focus on that, andddd I just thought about how Oppy has extra amazing vision and how we can incorporate night vision into hybrid!Orion/Optimus!

... not gonna lie, my first thought upon reading that said extra form would only come out under certain conditions the first thing I thought was werewolf dynamics.

Hat inspo in question

Inspo 1

[indieyuugure]

This is going to be kind of a long question.

Are you going to add more 2012 characters? Like Karai or Shinigami or Mona or Chompy or Renet.

Or some of the Rise characters? Like Big Mama or Draxum or RepoMantis.

Also, are you going to add original characters, like your own Usagi or your own Mona.

P.S.

I love your crossover comic, it's so good!

This is a good question! (I don’t mind long questions ^v^)

For the 2012 characters, I don’t think I’ll put them in since I think I have enough characters to deal with already 😅 lol. However Mona and Chompy, in some of the earlier drafts of ROTP, were supposed to show up on a phone call.

This is the concept art for her designs plus Chompy being adorable!

As for the Rise characters, Draxum actually does show up in Colliding Worlds (chapter 5, part 2), that’s how Raph and Mikey get mystic weapons that help enhance their ninpo/mystic-magic-mojo or whatever.

And on original characters, I really try not to diverge from the canon since I want ROTP to be more of a fan sequel than a fan fiction, if you know what I mean. I do have original characters, but I wouldn’t add them to the ROTP story.

Thank you for the questions! Always appreciate it! :]

I dont know if it's to late to ask, but is GitS Rise episode chapters going from broadcast order or production code order?

NEITHER because both are incorrect! Both put Lair Games before Many Unhappy Returns. I'm going in an order based on a list I found when I first watched the show, which is the order I watched it in! It makes the most sense to me, timeline-wise. I can no longer find said list, but I can just. List out the episode order I'm going by. Italicized are the episodes I've already passed/written, depending. Striked out are ones where Ghost wasn't involved.

Just out of curiosity I decided to check the possible ship names that are floating around for La’gaan/Coral/Rodunn, and it’s resulted in:

Lacoro

Lacordunn

Polyamorsea

Trident

Ngl, I lean toward either Lacoro or Polyamorsea-- both because they each put all three on equal standing (Lacoro has the first two letters of each of their names and Polyamorsea doesn’t foreground any of the three of them ahead of the other two) and because they’re easily searchable and unlikely to be buried (unlike Trident).

Idk, I guess I’m just throwing this out there to see if we can reach any sort of fandom consensus over what their ship should be called.

Thought:

Now that La’gaan’s Aquaman that brings up the question of if he’d change his outfit at all.

HOWEVER

I RAISE YOU

La’gaan not changing anything about his outfit other than adding a clip-on Aquaman emblem to the waistline of his shorts because he gives no shits.

Everyone who talked shit about La’gaan since 2016 owes me $50.

I freaking called it on the fact that

He’s queer.

He’s somewhere under the bi umbrella.

He’s great with kids.

He’s got a lot of love to give.

He’s a good character with a lot of complexity and depth to him.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnddd by the way--

His name is La’gaan. L A ‘ G A A N.

(If you tag his name as anything else it’s not going to show up where it should.)

Oh, and uh, final note?

MY FISHY SON IS MF AQUAMAN BITCHES!!!!

“La’gaan’s improving.”

“La’gaan���s getting better.”

“Maybe now La’gaan will apologize.”

“La’gaan’s getting a redemption arc.”

LA’GAAN NEVER HAD ANYTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR. HE NEVER HAD ANYTHING HE NEEDED TO BE REDEEMED FROM. FFS.

My #1 post of 2022

Okay, I’ve been meaning to do this for a while but kept getting derailed. Thankfully I’m fully caught up on Rise (though it took me forever) and I was able to mostly sort out the in-universe order for the episodes.

Because fun fact-- something I noticed way back in season 1-- is that the episodes weren’t released in in-universe order. This was true on cable, this has held true on netflix and hbo-max paramount+ (I goofed, oops), and while [turtlepedia] does have them listed in tv broadcast order and has the episode production codes listed, neither of those entirely match up with the various in-episode context clues for what order things happen in.

And believe me, some of those context clues, those in-episode “signposts” are subtle enough to be blink-and-you’ll-miss-it details (like the fact that the background video for Donnie and Mikey in Hypno! Part Deux! implies that it’s happening at the same time as Repomantis). Needless to say it’s taken a lot of work and a lot of paying attention. And thankfully season 2 wasn’t as all over the place (mainly due to more of the episodes not having any distinct signposts beyond things that made it obvious they took place after season 1).

(I’ve done my best to get it as nailed down as possible. Episodes that occur at the same time are listed on the same bulletpoint in recommended watching order.)

So good news if you’re like me and you’d like to watch the episodes in in-universe order, because this is that list!

Without further ado, I give you:

The In-Universe Rise Episode Timeline

Season 1:

Mystic Mayhem

Origami Tsunami

Donnie’s Gifts

Smart Lair

War And Pizza

Newsworthy

Repomantis & Hypno! Part Deux!

Down With The Sickness (Due to not really having any more than one possible signpost, this one could take place either before or after the previous point or The Purple Jacket. I don’t think it’s any later than that, but it’s debatable.)

The Purple Jacket

Minotaur Maze

The Longest Fight

The Fast And The Furriest

Stuck On You

Hot Soup: The Game

Mascot Melee

The Gumbus

Shell In A Cell

Pizza Pit

Bug Busters

Mrs. Cuddles (Like Down With The Sickness this one has very few signposts, only two that I spotted and one of those is debatable, but it does take place sometime after The Fast And The Furriest.)

Al Be Back

The Evil League of Mutants

A crew member said that in the storyboards it was repomantis in there as a mutant but then they thought "Why would Repo be in the open, as a mutant?" so they just changed his design to a human form in the last moment. Source: I saw on twt a long time ago lol.

but this hc is cool tho makes sense.

Anyone wanna hear me rant about the continuity of this?

[greasy-night-rat]

these are alot bigger than I thought they would be lol. I drew meat sweats last way later than I meant to. If you couldn't tell, i tried to mimic the sort of chibi[for lack of better word] sub style that the show has. [example screenshots below cut]

What’s the deal with idolomantises?

I'll need you to be more specific because there is A Lot

But in general I really don't want anything to do with him anymore, yet always get messages/asks whenever he does or says something weird again

Unless he's sending kids porn again or calling people slurs or doxxing people or something huge like that, please do not come to me about him. I am willing to answer questions and such over DMs, but as a whole I really just want to keep my distance and not speak on him publicly unless it's a really big deal

Thank you

[cattytheartcat]

Last post yall

And thats.... hoh. HOOOH.

And that's what I assume is the full, original context.

I'll be linking the full callout, but the NSFW parts are NOT CENSORED. DO NOT LOOK IF YOU'RE A MINOR.

The blog itself, though I'm not sure how much was archived.

It took a bit to dig all this up as Idol did successfully sweep all this under the rug, though its hilarious he thinks he could get away without someone finding it anyway.

Its sad that he did all this, considering how viral and popular alot of his art has gotten, including his versions of humanized apps, the emoji couple, the plague doctor couples, and his two comic series. Its just incredibly sickening and disheartening that the person we loved and looked up on, is actually evil.

Ok ik this is old drama, but it seems rlly important now

'Bug Enthusiast or pest enthusiast?' A thread documenting some disturbing content from Pitaya, who could possibly be IdolMantis.

First, I'd like to announce two things; first, don't FUCKING harass anyone involved, and DONT harass Idol himself despite his predatory behavior. I don't condone harassment, witch hunting nor death/suicide baiting. Second, this thread is for, specifically, this reblog chain with a mutual and myself because of some alarming anons talking about Idol and his dark past due to an accidental like/reblog.

This is going to become a thread, as there's a shit ass 10 image limit aughg-

Now, lets dive in. These are from a wayback machine archive, which I can provide links to at the end.

As you saw in the original reblog chain, IdolMantis seems to have had multiple names in the past. Raisinrat, UnicornMantis, Bugcore, Ackee, Pitaya, all these names seem to be connected to Idol himself. Now, Idol is STILL active to this day on Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter, however he posts for his two web comic series; Monsters and Girls and Bugtopia.

As the two comics aren't anything harmful, they do involve quite alot of implied sexual content with mainly lesbian couples, some of which are drawn to look more androgynous or masculine. If you are under 18 I advise NOT to search out these comics, just to be safe. Idk I don't feel like minors should really get involved in that stuff but someone can correct me if needed. I do not know Idol's gender identity nor sexuality, and it doesn't seem like he's tryna sexualize lesbianism, so I won't speak further on these comics as its not my place to dictate what's good or bad rep.

However its good to keep these 2 comics in mind as we see what he used to be involved with.

The full callout was made by a Tumblr user titled AckeeLoveMail, which seems to be deactivated by now. The blog is pretty much a "critical" blog, or a callout blog, dedicated to a person named Pitaya, who used to have a blog named Bugcore. Bugcore has been archived, but no other info or images were archived correctly.

Remember, Idolomantises (IdolMantis) calls himself a "Bug Enthusiast" on Twitter. I don't know if these two pages are the same, though considering Idol's obsession with bugs... its an alarming possibility.

[Lol remember how we could customize our blogs]

Anyway, there's two main links here; the Bugcore blog link, and "The Callout". That link takes us here;

Notice how its said that he deletes posts and claims people just hate him for no reason.

Hmm....

Also, the beginning of the callout sounds familiar....

Lil offnote, but its said here that he identifies as non-binary. Currently he draws very sexual content of predominantly feminine identifying characters. Again I can't say much, but I do know that I've seen alot of people show concern on masculine ID'ing ppl consume or create content that sexualizes lesbian couples. Again, someone can correct me on that.

Anyway, second part of the callout.

The evidence:

This one is just... weird? Idk. Anyway bc of shitty image limit this is part 1 of... god knows how many posts.
