Anyone else remember this game

I got a ditto

The song is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx0mYN32Kps

The Pidgeotto event made me really sad. Screenshots of my gameplay:

It took my 4th Magikarp named Shanicua.That's why with the 5th, called Jacinto, I took better care of him. And then there was peace u__u

Although after a while, I think it was Octavio my 8th Magikarp, an Electrode made it explode. That game had no mercy ;__;

All my Magikarps have pun names with numbers in Spanish.

Previous ask about Dratchet, but they need to find a sire cause Drift’s sterile:

Drift supervises the conception. Meaning he’s in the room when Ratchet gets fragged. He sits in a chair nearby, slowly pumping his own spike.

No one dares to mock him or call him a cuck; the sheer size of Drift’s spike and the intense, hungry glare is enough to make the studs overload either from fear of excitement. Maybe a little bit of both.

Drift rarely join the pair, preferring to tackle his wife right when they’re done, saving his own transfluid to mark Ratchet’s still lose and dripping valve. What a sign to witness.

Off course, when Roddy is finally picked up, hes gonna do everything he can to entice Drift to join just a little sooner…

aaaaa Drift supervising the breeding is sooo hot. Stroking his spike, watching Ratchet as he squirms and pants and tries to not moan too loudly, worried it might make Drift just a tad too jealous. Not that he doesn't enjoy it when Drift gets jealous and pounds a stranger's transfluid back into him, holding Ratchet so close it's almost suffocating. Sometimes, the stud is still in the room when Drift pounces on Ratchet, watching as the doting sire takes care of his carrier.

Oh, Roddy would do everything he can do to make Drift join in while he's filling Ratchet up, beckoning him into the berth until Drift finally snaps and pounds into Rodimus while Rodimus fucks into Ratchet...

TFP Dratchetrod idea

During a patrol that Ratchet had to attend since Wheeljack had damage his leg after getting into a scuffle with some cons Ratchet senses the presence of two familiar bots with his spark bond. After patching up the former wrecker the medic wanders through the forest allowing his bond to guide him, just as Ratchet is about to head back he suddenly hears a branch snap. Before the medic can turn around he is suddenly tackled into a bear hug by two very joyful speedsters.

Drift and Hot Rod spend a few moments peppering Ratchet with kisses and cuddles before heading back to the base. Optimus and Bee are a little shocked that they didn't realise the two speedsters were coming to earth but are thankful they arrived safely. The rest of the day is spent cuddling in a pile in Ratchet's hab while also catching up while Roddy tells Ratchet about his and Drift's space adventures.

😭😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹 this is so cute!!!

Ratchet deserves to be spoiled by his two loves!!

Pulled out Moon again after a very long time and was changing up some movesets, only to sit bolt upright in bed LONG after saving the game and realize:

Apollo can’t relearn Nasty Plot (move exclusive to Pichu in this gen) OR Volt Tackle (move tutor only teaches Pikachu, not Raichu).

Which is a big bummer, but also incredibly funny. If I want a SpA boosting move on him later, I’ll have to teach him Calm Mind.

Local Raichu has forgotten how to have nasty evil thoughts and must instead be forced to meditate.

Speaking of my Pkmn Moon adventures in nicknames, here are the two unrepentantly funniest things born of it so far:

[0zzysaurus]

I don’t know too much about Wreck-Gar but I love him and his Tv talk, and Hotrod/Rodimus is underrated so uh…*looks at you with my big eyes from around the corner

Everything, I wanna know,,,

THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be fair, I chose a bad time to ask for asks because mannnn the WORK I need to be doing right now… I’ll throw out some silly headcanons I have :]]

• So I generally ship them kinda platonically? Kinda not. They’re besties in my eyes. Absolute ride-or-die best friends til the end. May that friendship occasionally involve a little bit of making out, as totally-just-best-friends tend to do? Perhaps… May it involve a little bit of uhhh, let’s say exploration? Possibly… I mean, name a pair of best friends that don’t bone each other after one too many Energon cubes and a long night of giddily enjoying one another’s company? Exactly.

• Junkions in my mind are so crazy with the public displays of affection it’s wild. They’re hugging and kissing and dancing with total strangers in TF1986, you’re telling me they aren’t going ham on each other? I don’t have to repeat myself about the planet-wide polycule thing with Wreck-Gar the leader at the top of the pecking order, but I do think that the hivemind mentality may have ramifications for Wreckrod as a ship. By that I mean, I think Wreck’s very special friendship with Hot Rod may also translate to the rest of the clan. If Hot Rod had to say it himself, “This is my boyfriend, and my boyfriends one hundred thousand sparkmates who protect me with their lives.” I have very complex thoughts about how the Junkions function in general and how they came about, as well as the viability of them not having access to Wreck for long periods of time, but I’ve found ways to let the Junkions continue on as normal while their leader goes off on silly adventures with his pal. That way is, they have set work schedules planned millennia in advance. They’ll be just fine for a couple of years, but it might cause some unexpected sparkache in Wreck to be gone for too long.

• Going in with my favourite — When they first met and Hot Rod gave him the universal greeting, Wreck had absolutely no fucking idea what it meant. Like, it would be so ridiculously funny if his recollection of their first meeting was essentially — he saw a really handsome red and orange robot talk utter gibberish right to his face and thought “wow fr?? You’re saying total nonsense rn?????? That’s crazy of you let’s be best friends forever and ever and ever”. A whole relationship built on stupidity <3

• I’m always thinking about that dip they do when they’re dancing… Why’d you do that, Roddy? Why’d you cradle that giant manifold robot in ur arms and dip him ballroom-dance-style like that? A question I’ll never have an answer to, but one that I like to think about often…

• Oh? An absolute banger nickname headcanon? Wreck calls Hot Rod “Rodney” because why wouldn’t a cockney TV-talking robot name his new bestie after the bloke off Only Fools and Horses? Way easier to say that over “Rodimus Prime” at the very least. Not to mention, like, how absolutely drop-dead adorable is that for a nickname? C’mon now… It’s SO cute. They meet up again after a long time apart at some Council of Worlds ambassador meeting, everything has been so formal and respectable so far, and out bounds this Junkion who is so excited he’s shouting the silliest human-orientated nickname for a Prime. What a goober. No social decorum. Probably tackle-hugs him too. If he’s gonna do that to a total stranger in Collect and Save (TFLegends 2004) then I can’t see why he wouldn’t absolutely knock his bestie to the ground in front of every diplomat in the galaxy.

• In G1 S3, when Wreck shows up again for the first time in the cartoon, Ultra Magnus has no idea what he’s talking about (for obvious reasons, bro is talking TV…). But not only does Rodimus understand him perfectly, he can translate! Bilingual king moment for Roddy, but also I like the idea that they actually chat over comms all the time and Rodimus has got really good at understanding TV-Talk, though maybe with a little bit of help from Kup as well, since he also knows a few phrases here and there. Maybe he “studies” TV as well so he can expand his vocabulary for his buddy? I bet on trips to Cybertron it can get a little awkward or distressing when no one understands what Wreck is trying to say, but Roddy is there coming in clutch to translate.

• I think it would be cute if all the Junkions developed a sort of shyness to Cybertronians after a while. It becomes a little too obvious when you hang out with Autobots all the time that your frame is just spare parts and scrap metal, so Wreck likes to be in motorcycle-mode more often than not. That’s okay though, because being his partner’s off-road ride to anywhere means they’re always together on adventures. I think it would be silly if we get a couple centuries in and Rodimus’ current companion group don’t even realise that his motorcycle is a sentient bot. Like, oh, isn’t it weird that our captain sleeps in the garage with his motorcycle? Isn’t it weird that he speaks to it and pets it and gave it a name? They probably assume the TV-talk is quite literally just radio babble that happens to occasionally line up with what Rodimus is saying. That’ll be a fun surprise for everyone when suddenly this big ol’ Junkion appears and starts manhandling their leader.

Anyways, I REALLY need to do my work, so that’s all u get for now. If you have any specific prompts or scenarios I would he VERY HAPPY to provide answers :]]

Some Killer Frequency ship thoughts. :]

[Forrest Edition]

---

Forrest + Sandra: Miserable old folks covering it up with humor and whimsy. I love them so much, they're practically canon.

---

Forrest + Peggy: Cute, but I don't personally ship it under head-canon works. Outside of head canon works, I think they're a good duo:]

---

Forrest + Marie: Spicy, but Good Lord would it be a nightmare. Marie isn't in the headspace for Forrest's...fruitiness,,?

---

Forrest + Roddy: I think they might be a part of the Homosexual Underground,,, Serious main character and seemingly a goober partner? Hello?

---

Forrest + Ricky: This is so cute:[ Like, Imagine Ricky teaching Forrest to roller skate and then Max tackling him when he busts his ass.

---

Forrest + Teddy: I have. Many thoughts. Many. None of which can be shared. Basically toxic old man yaoi but,,,worse.

---

Forrest + Reggie: Just thought about this. Toxic old man yaoi. Rivals to reluctant coworkers to even more reluctant lovers?

---

Forrest + Maurice: OLD MAN YAOI. Angry media folks. Forrest hates the news, Maurice loves the radio, they don't make do but they do.

---

Forrest + Murphy: Fernando gets two dads. Mature Gremlin duo.

---

Forrest + John: Miserable old fucks. This is entirely head-canon but these two definitely have some tension at work. Not anything gnarly or weird, it's just a sass competition.

The Moment We All Knew is finally complete! All the chapters are online! 🎉🎉🎉

It was a lot of fun jumping from one POV to another each week and testing the various voices inside Slough House. It was my first time tackling Marcus and Roddy.

If you've read it, let me know which chapter you preferred. I'm curious.🕵🏻‍♀️👀

[minorisato]

my esteem needs are abundant, bubbling over- fill my heart even more!

transformers / rodimags / wc: 412 / warnings: NA / notes: part of my gyaru au! totally self-indulgent also ｡(^▽^)ゞ

"Maggyyyy," Rodimus called, running at the hall monitor from behind. "Maggy, help me!"

Magnus was only half-tempted to run, which was an improvement, considering that on day 1, Magnus did run. Magnus was about to turn and face the gal, when her arms were suddenly thrown around his shoulders, practically tackling him, causing him to stumble. "Rodimus, what's going on?"

The gal huffed. "I told you you can call me Roddy." She removed her arms from around Magnus, allowing him to finally turn around and look at her. She looked... not great? Like she had been crying. It was causing her carefully applied make-up (and less carefully applied fake tan) to run. Her braids, also, were distinctly less purposefully messy than usual, instead appearing actually messy.

Magnus sighed. He'll bite. "Roddy, what happened?"

The use of the nickname did make her smile a bit, which was good. "I totally just got rejected," she sniffled, her voice sounding small. She was trying so hard to hold that smile, Magnus could tell.

"By...?" Magnus asked, and Rodimus nodded.

"Yeah, the guy I told you about. And-" another sniffle. "I know you don't really care about this sort of stuff, 'cause you're all busy and uptight and stuff, so I was gonna talk to Ratty or Dri-chi about it," she explained, speeding up as she continued, "but they were busy, so then I was like I should talk to Meg, and I called but she said she was busy too, and then she like, hung up, and I guess I could talk to Stormy about it but honestly I don't really trust anyone in their group like I trust you-"

"Roddy," Magnus interrupted, freezing the gal in her tracks. "Do you want to go home?"

Rodimus blinked. "But you'd... miss class...?"

Magnus sighed. Yes, he would, and he wasn't entirely happy about it. "It can't be helped," he decided anyway, grabbing Rodimus' hand (minding her nails) and dragging her along towards the entrance to the school. "I'm sure you hate looking like a mess, and you'd probably want some time alone after that, right?"

The gal wiped her eyes with her other hand. "Maybe not alone," she figured, and Magnus stalled a bit.

"Do you want me to come with you?" He asked, and she nodded. "Into your house?"

Rodimus chuckled. "You act like you've never been to a girl's house before."

Magnus glared at her, feeling his face heating. Rodimus squinted at him.

"Oh."

🦴 Echo mayhap 🙏

Echo! An oc I have not talked about much but really need to!

Echo's design inspiration Im sure is very obvious, she was based off a protogen, with some of her other mechanical bits based off Portal 2 like mechanics and outfits. [tho it should be said Roddy did this concept art u are looking at rn-]

in terms of character however? She was heavily based off the song Neglected Space, I wanted her to seem quiet, mysterious and full of secrets. I wanted to translate the feelings you get off an abandoned building, overtaken by nature into her, it was a very abstract characterization but one I had a fun time tackling.

Echo's story is both mysterious and somewhat sad, but full of meaning and hope, the way I think most feel seeing an abandoned building. Sad but also beautiful in a way. She was born with a sickness in her body that over time prevents her from being able to use her limbs without pain and struggle. Due to her large form this left her almost without the ability the move anywhere, luckily Solios did find her and Paskal in particular felt her pain enough to help her to her new home. [He relates a lot to her plight...]

Echo doesn't remember much of her home, she doesnt think it matters, she spends most of her days simply laying in the sunlight which she feeds off of to get her energy. She doesn't usually envy those with the ability to move around freely, but there's always the occasions where she does, where she wonders if her life would be better if she could run around as she pleased. but she manages to find bright sides in all her struggles, after all, her friends never have to go far to find her and Paskal has been working hard to improve the limb enhancers she wears so that one day she can be more mobile. She's a big mysterious and beautiful creature, not as grand as she might've once been or could've been, but as long as she's taken care of, she'll take care of those around her.

She is in essence, a neglected space, still standing while also seeming like it's long past its glory days, but in the middle, lays a perfectly good grand piano, just waiting to make even better days than those that passed.

Megasoundrod but make them Dragons :>

Trees rustled in the gentle breeze as the birds flew between the branches as they loudly sang their songs. Meanwhile Soundwave stalked the forest floor holding a mound of twigs and sticks in his jaws, flicking his smooth sleek wings the blue dragon quickly trotted towards a clearing before taking flight. Spinning in the air he quickly adjusted his course flying towards a well hidden cave in the mountains, once arriving at the entrance of the cave Soundwave landed with a soft thump before stepping inside.

There he saw a red and gold fluffy dragon who was wrapped around a small nest. Rodimus opened one eye and quickly beamed when he saw Soundwave, he let out a little chirp as the blue dragon trotted over to nuzzle their mate before putting down the sticks next to the nest. Rodimus happily gave a soft coo as he took the sticks as he began to weave the new sticks into the nest. Once finished the red dragon shuffled in the nest allowing his mate to join their side to snuggle as they wait for their third and finale partner.

An hour passed until the sound of familiar wing beats stirred the two sleeping dragons in the nest. Just as Soundwave and Rodimus were beginning to blink away the sleepiness from their eyes a large grey dragon entered the cave dragging a plump boar behind him. Megatron barely took a few steps inside before he was tackled by his two smaller mates in a hug, letting out a surprised grunt the large dragon quickly wrapped his wings around the pair pulling them into a warm hug. After a short sweet nuzzle the three dragons begin tucking into their dinner for the night.

However during the meal both Megatron and Soundwave find themselves being drawn to another oddly sweet scent this time coming from Rodimus. The red dragon barely has any time to clean his feathers before he is suddenly scouped up by Megatron's talons only to be quickly smothered and pampered with kisses nuzzles and licks while the grey dragon softly purrs away. Soundwave quickly joins in with his own nuzzles and licks being drawn in by the sweet scent of their mate until he perfectly has Rodimus pinned between Megatron's large chest and himself. Roddy quickly melts under their touches as his heat slowly starts taking charge making him lean against his mates and softly purr, as he wraps both his talons and wings around Soundwave before leaning up to softly nuzzling into Megatron's cheek. At this rate they will likely have a large clutch of eggs this Spring not that he doesn't mind.

Doco revisits gay icon Elizabeth Taylor's life and activism

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/doco-revisits-gay-icon-elizabeth-taylors-life-and-activism/

Doco revisits gay icon Elizabeth Taylor's life and activism

Gay icon Elizabeth Taylor narrates her own life story in a new HBO documentary Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes, arriving on streaming in Australia today.

Elizabeth was a Hollywood star from the age of 10 until her death at age 79 in 2011. But in the new HBO documentary, directed by Nanette Burstein, the actress and activist tells her own story through the titular tapes – 40 hours of recently unearthed audio interviews.

Elizabeth was speaking to journalist Richard Meryman for a book in the mid-60s, following her starring role in Cleopatra.

Nanette says that Elizabeth lived as the first modern celebrity, hounded by the first paparazzi and living “under scrutiny 24/7”.

Elizabeth says in the film, “What I have done is deliberately make a dividing line. The person that my family knows is real.

“But the other Elizabeth Taylor, the famous one, really has no depth or meaning to me.

“It’s a commodity and it makes money. One is flesh-and-blood and one is cellophane.

“I know I should be grateful [but] I don’t like fame. I don’t like the sense of belonging to the public.”

As well as Elizabeth’s marriages, the film also includes some of her strongest lifelong relationships: her friendships with closeted gay actors including Rock Hudson, Montgomery Clift and Roddy McDowall.

In 1956, Elizabeth appeared alongside Rock in Western Giant. The pair were close friends until Rock died of AIDS in 1985.

“Her closest friends were gay men in Hollywood who were publicly closeted, and she cherished her friendships,” Nanette told Good Morning America.

“She felt safe with them, and they felt safe with her. She had zero homophobia.”

‘No one wanted to talk about it’

Rock Hudson’s struggle with AIDS was one reason Elizabeth Taylor became a trailblazing activist in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

In scenes late in the documentary, Elizabeth co-founds The Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) in 1985 as well as The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (ETAF) in 1991.

Elizabeth realised the fame that had so tormented her could be used to her advantage, tackling the crisis impacting her best friends.

“No one wanted to talk about it, no one wanted to become involved,” Elizabeth says in the film.

“And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, ‘Bitch, do something yourself.��”

Elizabeth’s AIDS fundraising, research advocacy and political lobbying in the 1980s “defined her life and her legacy,” director Nanette Burstein explains.

“In the end, Elizabeth is able to do the most satisfying thing she’s ever done in her life,” she told Good Morning America.

“So much more important to her than any of the movies that she ever made.”

Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes is streaming in Australia on Binge today.

Week 12

Crowd Sourcing in Times of Crisis

Crowdsourcing is a powerful tool to gather real-time information, ideas or services from a large group of people, especially from an online community. It is a decentralised network that grasps the collective intelligence and efforts of the public to address challenges that arise during emergencies such as natural disasters, pandemics, or political issues. For example, the Ushahidi Haiti Project collected approximately 40,000 independent reports, and within a few hours, nearly 4,000 unique events were mapped (Yang et al., 2014). This has shown crowdsourcing plays a crucial role in real-time gathering information and enabling people to share and update information simultaneously.

MapAction rapid response process.

Certainly, crowdsourcing is being utilised to help mobilise resources such as food, medical supplies, and volunteers. It allows diverse communities to collaborate and improve communication through online platforms. TopCoder, an online platform offering crowd-contest services, launched the Anti-Coronavirus Hackathon, an ideation challenge aimed at generating ideas from its community to assist people, governments, and organisations during the coronavirus outbreak (Vermicelli et al., 2020). Engaging the community in crisis response efforts fosters a sense of ownership and empowerment. Additionally, crowdsourcing encourages society to take the initiative to be involved in disaster response and recovery. For instance, the "Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team" entitles volunteers to create and update maps in areas affected by disasters, providing critical information for responders.

The accuracy of data, users’ privacy, and the digital divide have become the concerns of society. There is controversy about the compromise between the speed of information gathering and the accuracy of data. In crises, quick decisions are often necessary, but relying on unsubstantiated crowdsourced data can lead to misinformation and ineffective responses. In order to ensure the reliability of crowdsourced information, verification mechanisms and partnerships with trusted entities can help alleviate the risk of misinformation. Crowdsourcing in times of crisis offers multiple advantages, from rapid data collection to diverse problem-solving. However, it also presents challenges that integrate with data quality, privacy, and coordination. As technology evolves gradually, the rapid expansion of crowdsourcing makes it essential to confront these obstacles and leverage the collective strengths of the crowd in a responsible and ethical manner.
