[gelu-the-babosa-multiversal]

OK I just remembered this show but, all the Transformers shows where they have kids but is Kids Next Door crossover AU!

So I guess that it would be something like this-

Character like Spike, Carly, and Chip don't count but others above 13 like Charlie, Memo, and Jack can become Undercover Teenagers (TND) but still not be part of the team sorry.

-Secto - Name (Numbuh)

-Sector_A_Witwicky - Robby Malto (8) and Mo Malto (9). Both transferred to conduct an investigation into GHOST and help their mom adapt to her new job. But the Terrans bring some complications for the mission

-Japanese Sector - Japan - Koji Onishi (7), Bradley "Rad" White (TND 12), Carlos Lopez (TND 13), Alexis Thi Dang (TND 14), Chad "Kicker" Jones (TND 18 and about to leave the team soon), Coby Hansen (20), Bud Hansen (TND 19) and Lori Himenez (TND 17). The biggest team conformed with kids from other regions. Their operation consists of helping the Atobots find new resources they can use for their survival like Energon, living metal for replacement parts, and any alien technology, and maybe locate other Autobots lost on Earth.

-Detroit Sector - Sari Sumdac (number unknown). A time traveler from the year 2050 who came to the 2000s for an unknown reason to be discovered. She helps the Japanese and Witwicky kids a lot.

-Las Vegas Sector_USA Jasper Nevada - Jack Darby (TND number 32 and about to leave the team soon), Miko Nakadai (TND number 11), and Rafael "Raf" Esquivel (37 and soon to become a TND). A small team assigned to help Team Prime as their guides and partners to help them disguise themselves with the humans of Earth. Fowler, a former ex Kid Next Door member helps them with the task.

-America_Crown City Secot - Russel Clay ( 21 once in Sector HHH but moved to a new team), Buth (25), and Hank (24). A new team formed by rockies that was made to test the new Sector until Bumblebee crashed on Earth with a tone of Predacons so the mission has changed...

-Griffin Rock Sector - Cody Burns (28), Francine ¨Frankie¨ Elma Greene (29), Celine ¨CeCe¨ Greene (83), Priscilla Pynch (30), Kyle Frazier (TND 39), Billy Frazier (70), Nancy Morrison (TND number 42), George Tracker (40), Jimmy Tracker (68), Timmy Smith (41), Rosita Neederlander (38), Elsie Rubio (71), Corey Perkins (35), Charlene Pruitt (82) etc etc... All the kids on Griffin Rock are Kids Next Door and is probably one of the most chaotic teams in all the world. Their mission, guide and make the Rescue Bots feel at home so other Cybertronians can also be comfortable on Earth.

That is mostly what I have so if anyone else is a KND fan feel free to add more stuff to this post 👍

Life of Rescue Bots x Sweet Tooth

The children:

Little reminder that my calculations are wrong and Sissi and CeCe are 2 years older than supposed when Elsie and Camille are those ages, that means they’re supposed to be: Sissi a Newborn and CeCe two years old, but, well, it’s easier to make a little children than babies :v

And yes, I was temptated before I start again with the routine (I DONT WANT TO RETURN TO NORMAL CLASSES, SAVE ME FROM THIS LIFE)

But here we are, these are Elsie Rubio the bunny, the youngest child of the Rubio’s, CeCe the ferret, Doc Greene and Prof. Baranova’s little girl, Camille the crow, the hybrid that appears with Charlie at the first part of my fanfic, and Sissi (Elizabeth) the red fox, as you read in the third part, Kade and Hayley’s first child

Due to the lot of time that passed from the great crumble and the third part, it’s normal that the kids are bigger, Elsie was the first hybrid baby to born on Griffin Rock from residents that lived there before the apocalypse, two years later after the Great crumble, then, CeCe was born a lot of time later, but still is the second to born from parents that were residents before the crumble or the sick, and then Sissi

Elsie is like a little princess but it’s also a little messy, as the first one to born as hybrid in the island, she received some hostile comments, but that was so much ago that she don’t remember, so, she dedicates her time into playing with other kids and playing the flute with her mom

CeCe is still a genius, her big hair don’t let the rest see her ears, but has a really good ear, she’s always running and is as hyperactive as a ferret, and definitely a menace to society if she wasn’t enough polite

Camille is shy, prefers to sit in silence watching the rest play, but also enjoys science and medicine, he even dreams into being a doctor some day, he can’t talk because of his voice, but can mimic lots of sounds and knows sign language, also, he can’t fly yet but is learning

Sissi is an enigma, because know you see her as little and shy, maybe untrusting, but wait for two years more and you will see the most dangerous menace for all Griffin Rock, because she likes to bite and loves to make jokes (Kade’s fault, all the karma is finally falling on him) and is also too curious and prefer mud than normal baths, nobody knows how she ended up as rescuer when she grow up, but everyone said the same of Hector (Heatwave) when he was a teen

I don’t have a lot to share about them, because what it’s not about the crumble you would probably know, so, meh, in compensation, I made these

That’s all, good night

Parte 2

Al día siguiente Brian fue al mismo lugar de antes a ver que onda.

Entró y pasó por el vestíbulo directo a las oficinas donde había banda de albañiles trabajando en las computadoras.

El rubio estaba andando por atrás de todos con una mano agarra el termo con la otra toma el mate. Brian fue a hablarle.

Brian: Hola vine

"Quien sos"

Brian: Hola soy Brian, vine porque ayer hablamos para que yo entre a trabajar acá.

"Ah dale ponete en una compu"

Brian: Quien sos

Roger: Roger

Brian se sienta en una computadora vacía y se pone a jugar buscaminas. Roger lo mira y toma mate.

Roger: El sueldo es de 20 centavos la hora, tu turno es de 10am a 2pm. Pero no te lo voy a dar si te quedas jugando todo el día.

Brian: Bueno ya estoy por ganar.

A Brian se le explota una mina y dice la re concha de la lora, Roger toma mate y se va.

El trabajo es divertido, va todos los días pero los domingos no puede abrir la puerta y está todo apagado, todavía no sabe por qué. Aprendió a jugar solitario. Con el peso que ganaba en el día se compraba dos criollitos de 25 centavos y un vaso de coca de 50 centavos. Una vez se le ocurrió no comer por una semana, ahora tenía 7 pesos y se sentía multitrillonario o algo así entonces se compró una pizza por 5 pesos y una lata de cerveza con el vuelto.

Volvió el lunes al trabajo, Roger dice hola, toma mate y se va, Brian dice hola y se sienta en la computadora. Tiene que teclear la cantidad de ladrillos, el tamaño, el material, las coordenadas de cada uno, el tipo de cemento, el revoque, etc. No es fácil pero se esfuerza, a veces hace horas extra jugando piedra papel o tijera con el bot de google.

Si pudo pasar una semana sin comer capaz podía pasar dos o tres. Entonces no comió por un mes y ahorró 26 pesos, no le quisieron pagar los domingos y un feriado que hubo no sabe por qué.

Con esa recontra super mega ultra cantidad de plata se le ocurrió comprarse una cama de 18 pesardos y con el resto una campera marca Adadas para dormir cómodo y sin frío.

Al otro día de trabajo Roger tomó mate y entro a las oficinas para gritar.

Roger: Se tienen que preparar que la semana que viene va a llegar el supervisor.

Albañil aleatorio: Pero vos sos el supervisor pelotudo.

Roger: Callate ya sé yo los tengo que ver a ustedes pero va a venir el provincial a revisar que esté todo bien y haya mate suficiente para mi.

Brian puteaba y seguía perdiendo en el juego de la viborita, no se dio cuenta de lo que hablaban.

La semana siguiente, el lunes, a las 9:59, llegó y vio a sus compañeros trabajando un poco más elegantes de lo normal, Roger llegó peinado, decente, en vez del pelo de escoba usada hecho re mil pija teñido para el traste de siempre. Dijo hola, tomó mate y se fue.

Pero volvió acompañado.

Acompañado por el supervisor provincial de puestos de construcción, con traje y corbata pero no era adicto al mate.

Super supervisor: Hola

Brian: Quien chota sos

A Roger se le cayó la jeta al piso, pensó que los iban a despedir a todos y caerle un meteorito al edificio por faltarle el respeto a un superior, pero el hombre no se ofendió y respondió.

Freddie: Soy Freddie, vine de visita. ¿No avisaron?

Brian: Y no.

Roger: Si les dije boludaso vos no prestaste atención todo el día tomando mate digo jugando a los sims 4.

Brian: Y qué querés que mis sims se caguen de hambre? Tengo que mantener a una familia... y después matarlos a todos.

Freddie: Bueno no importa, por lo menos los trabajadores se entretienen mientras los esclavizamos.

Brian: Viste el también juega a los sims.

Freddie: Linda campera.

Brian: Ay gracias me la compré yo.

Roger: Bueno chau nos vemos después.

Roger tomó mate y se llevó al super supervisor a criticar otras oficinas, a Brian le cayó bien.

Graham & Boulder ~ Graham and Boulder still have a very good bond besides Boulder being at the academy most of the time. Graham makes sure to keep in touch with the bot whenever he can.

Kade & Heatwave ~ These two are still bickering still to this very day. They have been getting along better, though the fights still happen once in a while. Even if they wouldn't confess it, both Kade and Heatwave are lucky to have each other in their lifes.

Cody & Chase ~ After Chef's death, Cody's bond with Chase has been growing stronger each day. In fact, Chase had become a somewhat like father figuer to the youngest Burns family member.

Dani & Blades ~ While their bond has become a bit stranded, these two are still good friends and hold the same amount of respect for each other. Blades even made sure to contact Dani once a day whenever he at the academy.

Mr. Rudio & Blurr ~ While the bot was unsure about his human partner at first. The two quickly became friends weeks later. Both Justin and Blurr enjoy each other company. Though the kids haven't met the bot yet, Blurr had gotten used to Mrs. Rubio has a close bond with her.

Hayley & Quickshadow ~ These two became good friends very fast after they first met. Hayley and Quickshadow usually teach each other about both of their different cultures, among other things. If there is one thing that Hayley still can't get over of is that she is friends with a bot that is undercover as a notable car from a spy film franchise.

Skip & Salvage ~ While Skip has a way to go for clearing up his name, he is grateful for Salvage's friendship. While the human is teaching the bot about Earth and the living things on the planet. Scobble had found himself learning more from the bot he was partnered up with. He was grateful for the bond he had gained with the rescue bot over these last few months.

Guess who made an El Rubio character.ai bot in the rise of people rizzing up their favorite characters

I DID, HERE'S THE LINK

ENJOY

(There might be a few kinks in the bot I need to solve but that is if I find any-)

[insomniac-jay]

DC NG | Batfam

The next generation of the Batfam in my DC next gen AU is quite diverse to say the least. Bruce now has several grandkids he can only see on weekends bc of Jahzara and Vicia.

Sanai Sheila Todd | Toxin

Sanai is the only daughter of the Red Hood (Jason Todd) and Crimson (Vicia Lopez Todd). She is a member of the second iteration of the Watchers. Like her brother Rubio, she's born with Vicia's Metagene. However her powers are different. Unlike her mother and brother who can control blood, Sanai can control acid. She mainly does this by controlling the acidity of her own blood as well as the blood of others.

Sanai is named after two people: Vicia's best friend from juvie Sanai and Jason's biological mother Sheila.

Her and Trident (Wade Yates), son of founders Cybiotic (Jonah Yates) and Sirena (La'Frida Nile Yates), are dating.

Haywood Todd

The youngest child and second son of Red Hood and Crimson. Haywood has no interest in being a superhero or vigilante. Instead he wants to do something more productive like being a pianist. His family supports this dream and he often stays behind at Wayne Manor practicing.

Adaeze Thomas | Luna Moth

Adaeze is the protege of Spoiler (Stephanie Brown) and preteen daughter of the Signal and Fatale. Steph originally wanted her to have the mantle of Batgirl but Jahzara refused by saying "At least give her her own name if you're going to indoctrinate my daughter into this cycle." And so Luna Moth was born.

Adaeze has a variation of Duke's light powers as she can channel light and use it to make objects such as weapons.

Obi Thomas

Obi the youngest of the Thomas children being a 4th grader. Both Duke and Jahzara want him to have a normal life and encourage him to pursue something outside of heroism.

Bloom Quinzel-Isley | Gardenia

Bloom is the daughter of Poison Ivy (Pamela Isley) and Harley Quinn (Harleen Quinzel) and the half sister of Lucy Quinn. Following in the villainous footsteps of her mothers, Bloom is a major villain of the next gen continuity. She has Pam's plant powers and is resistant to poisons and acids like Harley.

Felicia Wayne | Stray

Felicia is the second daughter of Batman and Catwoman and the leader of the Strays. Felicia is an antihero and a chaotic neutral. Her and her gang have no problem committing crimes such as robbery but also save innocent people caught in the crossfire. Her sister is Huntress (Helena Wayne).

Wade Yates | Trident

Wade is the newest leader of the Watchers and son of its founders Cybiotic and Sirena. Due to his Metahuman parentage, Wade was also born with a Metagene which allows him to emit supersonic waves containing nanobots. These bots can rearrange the molecular structure of objects.

Buenas noches/tardes/días.. ও

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

Buscó a alguien que haga de Norton(seme) para hacer un roleplay de Norton x Mike de estudiantes, mínimo 6 lineas y si es más mejor (suelo escribir mucho y rápido por ello también tengo fallas de ortografía). Puede ser aquí en mensajes privado de tumblr o en discord ya que tengo una sugerencia de usar bots para ello

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

Historia del rol:

Mike Morton y Norton Campbell se conocieron en una fiesta de un amigo, estos dos bebieron mucho (más Mike) y por culpa del alcoholismo ambos terminan en una cama, después de este incidente Norton tiene resentimiento haberlo hecho con el rubio. Antes de el irse discutieron de que eso no pasó y que absolutamente no había nada entre ellos dos, ah pesar de ello Norton tuvo que abandonar a sus amigos, compañeros/as de su institución ya que no se encontraba cómodo por lo sucedido (Mike también iba a esa institución).

⇩ - Se puede comenzar desde aquí - ⇩

Después de 2 años.. tanto Mike como Norton se reencontraron en una nueva institución, dicho lugar hizo un pequeño evento de bienvenida llevando a los estudiantes. Mike y Norton junto a alguien más buscaban en la cafetería principalmente en la cocina al menos ellos dos, por un accidente o un descuido la cocina se incendio, estos dos se cayeron uno encima del otro dándose un beso, uno de ellos se quedó inconsciente debido al golpe (Mike) y justo un profesor los ve, también ve el incendio y rápido lo apagó con el extintor para luego llevar ambos principalmente a la enfermería. Debido a la postura que estaban y al incidente Norton Campbell tuvo que ir a jefatura, después de tremenda reprimenda no volvió a la institución pasado uno o dos meses.

⇩-Principal rol si quiere comenzar por aquí-⇩

Cuando vuelve Norton Campbell es obvio que esta molesto, resentido y en si odia a Mike Morton que por culpa de una noche lujuriosa le cambio la vida, confundido con su sexualidad. En cambio Mike Morton se burla o hace chistes con ello, tomándole menos importancia pero.. tiene una ligera atracción escondida por Norton.

Cuando Norton por fin vuelve, Mike Morton fue enviado a detección estos dos se encuentran y tienen un ligero pleito principal por culpa de Mike pero pillan a Norton queriendo lo dañar o.. dar esa amenazada corporalmente o vocalmente así que es enviado otra vez a jefatura. Mientras Mike va a detención.

Life of Rescue Bots Au X Sweet Tooht.

"Flower"

Stories start at the beginning...

"Once upon a time..." the woman told to the baby in her arms, the baby moved the eyes, like trying to wake up "there was a..." she paused, thinking and reclining on the hospital's chair "...a beautiful and great flower, it was so beautiful everyone started to think it was magical, so, they desired it, but the flower knew all their badness, and decided to keep them away, so, the flower created, with it's spores, a contagious virus, so, everyone who is bad, would got infected, but everyone who was good, the flower would be their friend..." the woman got interrupted by the door, the doctor didn't knew what to say when he saw the pointy ears of the baby.

"Eh... Mrs. Rubio? We... eh, believe this is because of the... eh, virus in mainland- You don't have it, but, it's exactly what's happening on mainland, I'm sorry."

The baby started to cry, so, the woman prefered to comfort her, the people need to know, but for now, that little girl needed her mother more, oh, such a beautiful baby, her short blond hair and her blond fluffy ears, there wasn't a single one pregnacy on Griffin Rock since the Great Crumble, this one just comfirmed what everyone feared. If it wasn't the virus, then, it was the nature. It seems the nature don't like humans anymore...

...Griffin Rock's starts here.

Sparkshortstravaganza! (Commissioned by WeirdKev27)

Well this was a needed kick in the pants. When I first heard of the Sparkshorts program I was excited. As a kid I loved PIxar, as an adult I love pixar and as an old man dealing with the loss of his partner floating away in my balloon house, i’ll still love pixar. So the idea of a program focused on giving new fresh talent the room to do whatever they wanted and make content that would be on Disney Plus, a platform BADLY bereft of original animation? It was a dream come true and the first one I saw Kitbull is easily a masterpiece and something that I can vividly recall every part of to this day, which for my terrible short term memory recalling EVERYTHING is a rare feat few works have achived.  But given I have a REALLY bad habit of letting things I want to watch sit there if I don’t jump on them immediately.. I let it sit there and didn’t touch any of the shorts and mostly forgot about the program until now. Until Kev, my patron and the only person paying for reviews at the moment, though others are more than welcome wink wonk, just decided what the heck and to test out comissioning shorts picked these ones because why not. And given I had been dragging my feet and reading the descriptions found creative and suprisingly heavy premises... I was fully on board And better late than never because along with Soul this program has EASILY restored my faith in the company after Onward really disapointed. Granted they’ve done worse, while there are pixar films I haven’t seen I need to like Coco or Cars 3, I’ve vowed NEVER to watch Cars 2 unless I have to and that vow has served me well so far. The shorts here are as a whole beautifully animated, have a ton of wonderful concepts and even the two weaker ones are still gorgeous to look at and a decent watch regardless and both come from a very well meaning place with a very well meant message. So yeah i’m thankful for this comission and to show you why let’s go through every Sparkshorts so far and see why their so awesome.. after some background of course. 

Sparkshorts, for the uniniated, is a program by pixar where animators are given six months and a limited budget to create a film based on personal experince. The program was designed to test out new ways of animating, directing and creating and to find a creative “spark” in it’s employees. Thus each film feels unique, has it’s own style.. and is utterly charming. I’ll be looking at them chronologically as while this wasn’t my watch order, I feel it’s a bit neater that way. I’ve already taken long enough to get to watching these, let’s open these films up and see what makes them tick shall we?

Purl: An Adorable Yarn Ball Vs Toxic Masculinity  Purl.. was better the more I thought about it. The first short released, it DOES have a good message and killer animation. The film takes place at B.R.O., a dude broey brockerage firm that’s painfully relasitic both in how broey it is and in how it looks. That’s to contrast our heroine: Purl, an adorable ball of yarn who just wants to be accepted but is instead ignored by the rest of the company till she changes herself up, donning a suit like her co workers she badly wants to fit in with and adopting their wolf of wallstreet esque douchebaggery. She finally gets accepted.. but ends up shedding her new self to help another Yarn Ball starting up.  Director Kristen Lester drew from personal experince, starting work at animation in a mostly male dominated workplace and thus having to adapt and only letting the femine side she’d repressed out when she moved to working at pixar, which had more female employees. The film DOES have a good message about toxic workplaces and toxic masulinty and learning the personal story did raise it a few notches as it made it clear to me that what SEEMED like an over exageration.. was probably just a light exageration given the kind of bro antics we’ve heard about at companies like Ubisoft. So while I didn’t like the film much at first honestly.. it’s over the top because it NEEDS to be because even though it’s 2021.. some idiots STILL don’t get it and kids are better off learning it now so it’ll hopefully stick when their entering the workforce. So we’ll get more people like perl willing to make a change and stick up for those like her and less dude bros. Still a decent and clever short with Perl’s bro form looking really neat and the animation on her in general is really fucking gorgeous. All in all not the best of these but still pretty good and while a bit thick on the message.. it kinda has to be. 

Smash And Grab: A Jaunty Ride to Freedom

This was a really fun one. Directed by Brian Larson and inspried by his need for a break from routine this follows two robots, the titular smash and grab who are designed to well.. smash and grab coal-like energy things for a train and have for years and years. The two long to high five, but can’t because their hooked to tubes so they can’t escape. But one day Smash looks out the window and not only sees fellow robots living a better life.. but a way to power him and his buddy/love intrest? I mean bromance or romance, either way it works. Point is our heroes escape, and have to fight security.  It’s just a really damn fun and creative movie. While robots wanting a better life isn’t new, the crisp art deco animation, breakneck pace, fun gags and heartwearming relationship between the two bots is just charming as hell. It’s just a fun ride the whole way through with a lot of heart and creativity with the two’s way they throw coal to one another used to take out the guards, and all together just some really good set pieces. Easily one of my faviorites here and that’s a high water mark to pass. 

Kitbull: Tiny Orphan Kitty + Big Abused Doggo = Best Friends

As I said this is the only one of these I saw before today and as I said it’s stuck with me. I love dogs. I have one of my own named Yoshi whose just a sweet boy. So i’ve always loved ALL DOGS.. and was thus horrified years ago when I learned about the stigma Bulldogs get. Seen as “agressive’ and “Mean’ and victious.. when really a lot of them, including my grandpa’s own pitbull when I was little, are just loveable as any other dogs. And having also known a former fighting dog my friend owned, if a much smaller min pin rather than a pitbull, who by the time I met him had become the sweetest dog you’d ever meet.. yeah.. don’t mistreat a dog just because some assholes force it to fight to the death because their sick, horrible, ghastly human beings.. if they can even be CALLED human beings after doing that to these poor animals.  My point is it’s nice to have a short about such a needed subject. Director Rosana Sullivan actually had the idea for the short for years and intended to do it as a side project, but when the program cropped up she moved it to pixar and the result is one of the most popular and easily one of the best of an already bright bunch, brought on by her love of animals and working in a shelter. It’s also one of Pixar’s first 2d animated projects and proves their just as good at that as cgi.  It’s the touching story of a kitty whose alone in the world and initally mistrustful and hissy at a big dog she finds and is naturally scared of.. until she grows to bond with the dog, realizing much like a LOT of fucking people need to that pitbulls.. are just dogs and often victims of circumstance and the poor, sweet pooch who just wants his owner to love him.. is instead thrown into a fighting pit, nearly killed and forced to make a daring escape with their new forever friends help. It’s through this wonderful, heartrending friendship that the dog finds freedom and the cat.. finds them both a home, no longer running from people but instead making sure they both get a person. It’s often brutal at times, with the scene of the dog being forced to fight being one of the most striking: while we thankfully don’t see the action, we HEAR IT, as does the poor kitty, and we see the aftermath: a friendly harmless dog thrown out into the cold just because it dosen’t WANT to fight. It’s just really heartrending stuff that makes the happy ending all the better. It’s also gorgeiously animated which I mentioned but i’ll say it again; the animation here is GOREGOUS, unqiue and stunning. Go watch this if you haven’t. 

Float: This is Why Krakoa Exists

This.. has easily been the hardest to review of the bunch. While ALL of these stories are very personal, very inclusive and very intresting, this one.. is a bit rougher than most of them and hits REALLY close to home. See this one was built out of director Bobby Rubio’s experinces raising his son who has autisim. 

It’s about a dad who discovers his infant son can float... and thus gets stares of fear or judgment from eveyrone around him slowly getting broken down by this. So he makes a HORRIBLE judgment call and rather than just accept some people are assholes, weighs his son’s backpack down with stones despite him hating it then drags him away when he ends up floating off, before screaming at the poor kid WHY CAN’T YOU BE DIFFRENT.. He DOES instantly regret this and the ending is genuinely touching as the father finally accepts his son is different and throws him into the air while on a swing, letting his son soar as he always should’ve. It is a beautifully animated and well meant film and the filipino representation is truly great: Rubio originally was going to have the characters as white but his fellow animators convinced him to go for represntation and be true to himself and honestly in a time when disney itself has had to be fought to get queer representation most of the time, it’s nice that pixar at least is a part of it that throughly encourages representation and will gladly put diversity and representation over any bullshit “risk factors”.  That being said.. while this was a decent short with a very well intentioned message and it clearly connected with a lot of people.. it wasn’t for me and I say this as someone who has autisim. As someone who has worn down people’s patince and been starred at by a freak for something I was way too young to properly deal with.  I’ve been in this Kid’s shoes. 

And that’s the problem: The metaphor dosen’t really work for me. While auitism CAN have some benifits and I wouldn’t be any other way i’d be lying if I said it was easy having trouble commuincating, constnatly misreading people, constnatly worrying if someone’s going to like you, and hyperfocusing on a problem instead of being able to set it and forget it for a bit to my own detriment. There’s other problems and not ALL of my issues come from anxiety disorder: I also have anxiety and depression. They just bleed badly INTO said autisim sometimes, as it’s hard to effectively combat anxiety sometimes when your mind won’t let you. 

What i’m saying is... there aren’t any FAULTS in his powers. See i’m a fan of x-men, so I can only see this boy as a mutant, and yes I know they usually manfifest at puberty but there have been exceptions so don’t at me.. and one of them who has no real downsides other than the unfair stigma of being a mutant. He’s more like storm, who can control the elements and whose power only enhances her life nad lesss like say Rogue, who looks normal.. but can’t touch anyone without knocking them out at best or horribly abosrbing them into her head at worst. There’s no downside other than the fact people judge him and his dad is a dick about it.  And the dad part is hard because I get what Rubio is going for: parents make mistakes, parents mess up and their only human even if they should embrace their kids anyway. That’s a good message and one I support.. I just think Rubio was way TOO hard on himself and thus made his stand in into an unlikeable asshole, one whose more concerned with how everyone ELSE thinks and does the horribly abusive action of basically tying his son’s wings down so he can’t fly. He mans well, it’s so his son dosen’t float off.. but instead of finding a way to help him and work with him on it.. he just stuffs rocks in his back and forces the kid to be miserable so other people can be happy. It just goes way too far in the other direction to work. As I said I think it’s the guy being too hard on himself, manifesting his worst moments with his kids and his biggest regrets and making himself into a very hard to like character because he has trouble forgviing himself for how he acted. So I want to say if you ever read this bobby while I wasn’t hte biggest fan of your film.. I do wholly support you and your son.. and the fact you made an entire FILM just to show your sturggle and show people there not alone was a beautiful act. You are not a bad person , we all make mistakes and we’re all just human. You are a good man Bobby Rubio. I may of not liked your metaphor... but your message is beautiful. 

Wind: Immigration by Way of Rocket Science

Thankfully moving on.. this one is tied with Kitbull for my faviorite. It has a truly intriguing premise, a great metaphor, stunning animation, and is just really moving, gripping and fun to watch. This one was by Edwin Chang, and as is usualy by now, it was built on personal experince.. but not his. It was built on the fact his father was an immigrant who had to leave his mother, Chang’s grandmother, behind to a better life. She rejoined them eventually but it left an impact on his father and thus serves as the core of this story. And honestly knowing that only STRENGTHENS an already impresssive sci fi short.  It’s the story of a boy, apparently named Ellis so i’ll use that, and his grandmother who live in a bizzare, hauntingly beautifuly stygian sinkhole that has floating rocks and debris. The two spend their day farming potatoes and grabbing whatever they can to hopefully make their way out. But it becomes clear to young Ellis after they find a plane his grandmother wants HIM to go alone and escape and is willing to sacrifice herself.. and ends up having to trick the boy into thinking sh’es going along in order to get him to do what he needs to surivive and thrive. It’s a truly gut wrenching story as even when she seems to have found a way for them both to leave.. it’s very clear she’s simply training him with all the welding tools and what not so he has skills to make it out there on his own in the unknown. So he can live without her.. but more importantly.. so he CAN LIVE. Away from the darkness, not having to scrape and to surivive and hopefully find something better out there. While the old parental figure sacrifciing thsmelves so the youngun can start hteir journey isn’t new.. it’s the unique, beautiful and haunting setting and the emotoin, conveyed only through the utterly beautiful animation that make this story feel fresh, along with it’s great metaphor. This short is just haunting, beauitful and really damn sad, and I only dont’ have all that much to say because it’s all in the visuals. The only thing I have left is like all of these really, watch it. But especailly this one. 

Loop: Enough Said

This is part of the reason I didn’t like Float all that much. Loop is just.. way better at conveying the experinces of having auitism. While Renee is a more severe case than me I can relate to what kicks off the film: Renee, usually paired with an adult at the camp she at, is forcibley paired with a chatty boy named Marcus. While Marcus is eager to go home and has no idea how to interact with the two the two genuinely bond, with Marcus slowly getting into Renee’s world. The key scene for this and the one that clinches the film is Renee waving her hands over the reeeds in the water, throughly enjoying it with marcus not getting it.. till he tries himself. Director Erica Milsom, whose worked with autistic children and picked this medium entriely because i’ts perfect for a non verbal character and is one that can tackle heavy issues like this in a way to help people understan, really wanted to counter most depections of severe autisim, paticuarlly sensory issues. While we see the good in them instead of JUST her freaking out or being overwhelemed: how her sounds and the things she feels truly relax her and how she really DOES enjoy nature and is perfectly at home there. It’s just a beautiful way to show this disablility is not ALL bad, as many works tend to focus soley on the drawbacks. While I had my issues with Float part of it was it had too much good.. but Loop is superior at this simply because it shows both with unflinching honesty: The beauty of something that calms and relaxes your brain or a touch or sensation that just FEEELS really good, things that while again i’m not on the same level as Renee.. I can still fully relate to.  But what puts it over float besides not having a messy metaphor is it DOES show the issues that come with it.. but does so WELL and with nuance. It shows how isolating autisim can be, especially for someone like Renee who can’t talk, how people are sometimes freaked out by you and don’t know how to interact with you and how adults can MEAN WELL, and the counsler setting them off was a good idea in the end... but can also be misguided and not fully know how to handle you without overwhelming you. It shows just how bad a panic attack can be, how you can just.. shut down and drive away. It was easily the sequence that hit the hartest and resonated the most as I’ve had those, and i’ve just shut down with no one able to reach me.. and it makes it all the more touching as Marcus eventually realizes how to handle things, and gives her space despite the setting son and the peril of being stranded.. because he realizes she needs it and offers to simply be there when she’s ready. It’s a touching, wonderful gesture, capped by him giving her a reed.. and the two heading home finally udnerstanding one another.This one is very close to wind in my heart and I think I found even more love for it writing this review and realizing just how much it hit me. And that ain’t bad. 

Out: Be Proud of Who You Are.. with the help of a gay cosmic space cat 

Speaking of hitting close to home and really resonating with me, we have Pixar’s first short with a gay main character, with his sexuality being the center of this. And as a bi person who had struggle accepting his sexuality let alone telling anyone, even when you know someoen will likely accept you.. this naturally hit hard. I took some time to realize I was bi, and when I did I was terrified of telling my mom, despite her being loving, supportive and just wonderful, same with my brother. Both fully accepted me as I figured and had no issue with it, esepcially sine my romantic history is nearly non existant anyways, but I related to our hero Greg’s fears of coming out to his parents despite them being utterly wonderful, well meaning people. It’s hard to come out, it’s hard to admit that about yourself, and it’s hard knowing you may not be accepted or things may change. I had an even harder time coming out to my dad, who I fully expected being a trump supporter and having said “if gay marriage is leagal I should be able to marry my cat”, to not support me and to loose him.. and was proud and suprised when nope, he was utterly supportive and happy for me.. if a bit awkward with the “be careful with sex” advice.. to someone whose had none and may never will due to being awkward as shit. But he meant well and the point is I really related to this, and it’s easily one of the best coming out stories of this kind, tied handily with Schitt’s Creek’s episode about Patrick coming out to his parents that dealt with the same theme.  And naturally given the nature of these shorts it was a story close to Stephen Clay Hunter’s heart, as he group up a gay nerd in the 80′s a time when homophobia was even worse and representation was near non-existent. So when given the shot he wanted to make something for a young him, something they can look at and point to and tha’ts me. And the behind the scenes short for this one sold just how... big this felt for him. To draw two men in love and embrcing, to see guys mo capping that. To see someone LIKE him on screen. It shows just how important representation is and how dumb it is it took 20 goddamn years at pixar for them to get gay. 

The short itsel is delightful as we open with a gay space cat and dog appearing in a rainbow. The Cat and Dog are watching Greg, a nice young man whose moving out of his small town with his boyfriend Manuel.. only to panic when his parents who he hasn’t come out to show up to help move and try and hide the one photo he has of them. And despite Manuel seeing it as a very easy thing to do to come out.. it’s not for Greg. He knows it’s hard and a scene of him practicing shows the poor guy breaking down at the thought of telling them despite getting every indicatio their nice people.  It’s then the whole Space Cat thing comes in as the cat enchanted Greg’s dog’s collar, so when greg puts it on as  a jest, it’s a body swap! So naturally we get tons of REALLY well animated shenanigans as Greg has to get his body back. Seriously the animation here is gorgeous with director Hunter choosing the painted on , impercet style to give it a storybook feel which fits the story perfectly.. seriously if Disney hasn’t made a story book of this do so.. and if they won’t someone on etsy do it because Etsy is apparently where the merch companies should be making happens.

The point is it’s fun, furious and leads to some great gags.. and then we get the emotional punch to the godnand as Greg bites his mom’s hand in order to prevent her finding a photo of him and his boyfriend. He instnatly regrets it, and breaking the photo in the process and goes to comfort her.. and we get easily the most emotinal, most beautiful part of it as Greg finds out his mom is hurt as she can clearly tell he’s keeping her at arms length and dosen’t want to loose him.. and she’s known all along he was gay.. just like the Schitts Creek example it’s clear she’s hurt a bit her son is scared to tell her but just wants him to be happy. So with a brilliant use of a squeaky toy greg switches back.. and comes out, with his dad warmly hugging miguel when he introduces himn and the space dog crying. Just a beautiful, charming, fun, and gorgeously animated short with some badly needed representation.

Also... one last note. This isn’t related to the short.. but Disney, who once again proves they can’t be progressive without stabbing themselves in the foot and no I will not stop giving out about this. This time’s especailly bad as while Out was heavily promoted.. the descripton DOSEN’T mention it having Pixar’s first gay lead and goes out of it’s way to hide Greg being gay despite the fact the short dosen’t and his being in the closet is the whole conflict of the short. And the not mnentiong the first gay lead thing is noticable because Loop DID rightly point out it was their first non verbal proganist. You can’t.. brag about being progressive about one thing and then try to hide your being progressive about another you idiots. Plus the “pleasing the bible belt” ship has sailed and left port. Ducktales is gay as hell with Penny being gay, even if Disney won’t let her just come out and say it, the crew still had her say it as much as they could, Violet’s dad’s being gay, Della being bi and Webby and Lena being as close to a couple you can get without disney screaming at them no. Andi Mack is fully avaliable on D+ as well.. well okay not fully because the dad turned out to be a pedophile, but still a series with a fully gay character is out there. And finally Owl House got TONS of press for having a bi progatanist and having her love intrest be a girl. Even if Dana Terrance had to FIGHT for that, and rightly so good on her, the point is you have queer characters already. The groups that hate you for that aren’t going to magically stop hating you because you hide the fact a short anyone can see from minute one is very , beautifully gay, I mean it starts with a very swishy space cat emerging from a rainbow atop a pink dog. COME ON. I only have a few words left for disney..

Okay whew, one more and we’re out of here. 

Burrow: It’s Okay to Ask for Help and To Bang a Willing Salamander This was the first one I watched today. In hindsight had I properly researched the shorts and realized how heavy they were I probably would’ve saved this one for later to help balance out the deep feels of some of these. While Burrow is VERY VERY good, as all these shorts have been even Float, it’s subject matter is a lot lighter. I mean so far we’ve had stories about toxic masculinity, animal abuse, issues accepting your child is diffrent, sacrficing yourself so your loved one can have a better life, autisim and coming out of the closet. Even Smash and Grab which is light and breezy.. still has a disney death, and is still about a heroic rush to freedom from slavery whenyou think about it. This one.. is about an insecure bunny whose afraid to ask for help and ends up learning to get it while ending up plumiting through a bunch of comedic set pieces. It’s basically if Winnie the Pooh and Bugs Bunny had a baby comedy wise, it has the warm feeling of pooh art wise, a storybook quality tha’ts utterly adoring.. but director Madeline Sharafan specifccally wanted the animators to take after chuck jones, using lots of great expressions and reactions. It has a real classic theatrical screwball comedy vibe and given The Looney Tunes, Droopy, and Tom and Jerry mean the world to me and i’m glad nto reocnnect with 2/3 thanks to HBO Max.. I fucking loved it. 

Burrow is still a personal story and is based on Sharifan’s experinces having trouble colaberating, wanting something to be fully baked before showing it off, something I agian relate to. She often hid from the others and refused to show her work until it was done while everyone else was happy to help. And as the previously used to slam disney hard with something they own Hickman Era of X-men has shown.. colaboration is just better and more freeing. By having friends and colleuge s to bounce off of you refine ideas, see how people react to them and grow a bit and that’s what the shorts about. 

The plot is easily the simpliest of these: A young bunny wants to build her dream burrow but gets self concious when she runs into a friendly mole and rat living next door to where she wants to build and keeps digging to find both privacy and her own place.. and instead ends up digging into various shenangians and other burrows from frogs, to hedgehogs to most memorably some Salmanders taking a sauna.. and in the best and most ‘how the fuck did they get away with this bit of it”, one of the salamanders ends up .. gladly removing his town and being liike “You wanna do this? I mean I got an hour free” And i’m just saying while now wasn’t the time and the offer was a little awkward i’d go for it if I was her. I mean at least ask him out for coffee later. He seems nice enough if low on boundries. Then ride him until the morning light girl, ride it. She also finds the Demon Bear from New Mutants at one point.. so that’s where he retried to after danny kicked his ass again. Neat. 

But eventually our heroione digs herself too deep and ends up hitting water before finding a 

Who sees her crumpled plans and then does the stygian call of the badger to call all the other animals to help and after they escape the flood, the bunny finally realizes their good people and lets them see the plans. So we end on our heroine and her new friends and possible salamander lover helping her settle in as she finallyg ets the home she wanted, complete with disco. I mean every home should have a disco. If I didn’t have a ceeling fan i’d have a disco ball.. and I still want one just to set somewhere or hang away from the fan . Let me dream dammit. Overally a fun, hilarious, mad dash short with a good message and a good note to go out on.

Final Thoughts: Overall.. the Sparkshorts program is fucking spectacular, a great way to let some of Pixar’s staff get into the directors chair and really shine, and a way to tackle issues that they may not be able to get greenlit into a full film. Lushily animated, well produced, Pixar has announced MORE are coming and I cannot wait. Thank you kev for comissioning this, and thank you all for reading. If your new and liked this review, follow this blog as I talk disney all the time: when they come back i’ll be doing regular coverage of Amphibia, Ducktales and the Owl House as new episodes come out every week, and i’m currently doing a retropsective on the three cablleros kev also paid for, with the finale of it, an episode by episode look at the legend of the three cablleros, starting this week. I’m also covering LIfe and times of scrooge mcduck (though infrequently for a bit), and finishing up a look at darkwing duck’s just us justice ducks, started with looks at all the players involved and finshing next week with the episode itself.  So if any of that sounds good to you, check out the archives, but goodbye, goodbye, goodbye for now.

Do you have a story about this on Wattpad or AO3 or on any other website? I really want to read this!

Also Blurr, Salvage, and Quickshadow: What's it like with your human partners?

Blurr: Do you have a good relationship with the Rubio kids?

💜Mod💜 : The Origin story, including one-shots and the main stories, will be featured on A03. Part one of the Origin story is going to be uploaded on A03 in the upcoming days. I will make a post when it's updated.

Blurr ~ Eh, personally, I don't mind Justin, really. He is actually pretty chill and a bit of a dare devil, though he can be quite busy with the family. Overall, he is a good person. Though his wife is a pain, especially when it comes to clothes shopping.

Quickshadow ~ Hayley is a unique human. She definitely fit her job field. I'm not sure how she puts up with Kade. Somehow, she does. I have been learning about the youth on this planet, though her and i will admit I am worried about the next generation. I do enjoy her company dearly.

Salvage ~ Me and Skip get along pretty well, he sometimes brings books from the library when he comes home from work for me so I can learn about this planet. We even come up with strange inventions with the junk I find in the scrap yard.

Blurr ~ The kids haven't fully met me yet. They do know that I'm an alien and part of the rescue bots, though. Only Ellennor knows that paired with Justin and I personally would like it to be like that. Not to mention, the Rubios usually use their family car to get around the island.

[collapsedsquid]

We start in Columbus, Ohio, another city with BLM protests and what is probably best described as an old school hippie bus with all the flowery freeform murals and the like. It’s the home of a group of street circus performers who do something called Flow Art which the paper calls “an umbrella term for a type of street performance that usually involves juggling and spinning flaming objects.” I just learned about Flow Art. Maybe you already know about it. The troupe call their bus Buttercup. Fair enough. The bus is co-owned by Marisa “Reese” Digati and her partner, Jonathan “Bearpaw” Crane. They live in the bus.

The crew heads down at the protests and they get stopped by the Columbus police SWAT Team. It’s a bit tense but it ends up being a pretty low key affair. They’re detained for about 45 minutes but just sitting on the curb, no zip ties or handcuffs. Here’s a video one of the jugglers took from inside the bus. According to the jugglers, the cops made clear they weren’t in trouble and hadn’t done anything wrong. They just had to leave downtown. The bus was impounded. The circus folk left and picked up the bus the next day from the impound lot. So far it’s like just another day at the intersection of militarized policing and urban hippiedom. No one’s really the worse for wear.

Then it gets weird.

The next day Columbus police went on Facebook to announce they’d finally caught one of those Antifa invasion buses red handed.

According to the Flow Art jugglers all these claims are bogus. On Facebook Digati said: “The ‘weapons’ that were found are tools. Axes for my wood stove, knives for cooking, etc. … The ‘riot gear’ was literally a child’s shoulder pads, elbow, and knee pads for sports.” Another member of the troupe chimed in: “Yeah, there’s a hatchet on the bus — with a bunch of wood sitting next to a wood-burning stove. Well, duh. The rocks were crystals and fossils. They emptied out a knife block [from the kitchen area] and said they found a meat cleaver.”

But the damage had been done. The Columbus police department post made the rounds as confirmation of the Antifa invasion rumors swirling around the country – seemingly first concocted by a faux “antifa” site run by white supremacists and possibly amplified by Russia bots.

Then Marco Rubio got involved. 

Clowns are antifa though, it is known

so on a political activism note

yall state politics are so much easier to make changes in than national ones?? i feel cheated lmao

like. i been over here. 21 calls to my congressman and daily emails--i’m on a voice recognition basis with the aides and literally can call in and ask for “the usual” and they know what i want, but i don’t ever get answers. daily phone call and email every day to my senators for 2.5 weeks--never had an acknowledgement that someone is at senator scott’s office (like no one even answers the phone), i can recognize the staffers by name at senator rubio’s but they dont know remember me day to day lol

but the state? yall. ive been sending the same copy and pasted email of 5 demands (1. i am concerned about COVID 2. i would like a state wide mandate to wear masks and social distance 3. i want postage included for vote by mail ballots this fall 4. ban private prisons in the state 5. ban immigration detention centers in the state) to my fl senator, congressman, and governor, and within 3 emails i’ve heard responses from everyone but the governor.

keep in mind i send these emails before i get out of bed in the morning, to all 3 reps at the same time using resist bot (text resist to 50409), it is as low effort as you could possibly be. and im being listened to.

i like this.
