First Aid Month- Prompt 1 - Rust/Spark
Nightmares become indistinguishable from reality, at times. And when he wakes, he wonders if this too is just some horrible dream.
Maybe he’s asleep or maybe he’s awake right now; he can’t tell, as he looks out at the bodies before him. They’re all infected with that same Red Rust, that same horrible spark of unlife. First Aid knows that Pharma made it. He knows, and Ambulon knew too. But they still hadn’t been able to stop it.
Ambulon died first. First Aid had wailed and begged. He’d screamed for help as loud as he could; he’d apologized, for everything. He’d begged Primus, for anyone to help him. It didn’t matter. Ambulon still died.
First Aid knows he’s alone in this medical bay. He knows, because he’d timed it all to the second. The very instant the sparks of everyone in the first set of rows would fade out, inevitably destroyed by a plague that First Aid cannot stop. Not with Pharma dead, not with Ambulon dead. First Aid smiles bitterly, and he wonders if it was all worth it. Ratchet- Ratchet, who had played the briefest role as First Aid’s CMO- had gotten his hands, in the end. The ship got their victory.
And then the Rust came back. First Aid leans in, as though the body in front of him can hear his secret.
“I begged them to save him,” First Aid whispers. “After Topturn shot him. After Gygex helped ‘remove the Decepticon’. They wouldn’t even let me get close. They said they were doing this for me, after all.” First Aid’s optics crinkle as he smiles, warmly and comforting. “A few months in the brig. They’d been drinking; they hadn’t meant to do it. It was an accident.”
Of course there’s no cure. That’s the whole point. Pharma’s Red Rust might have died on Delphi, but it was easy to resurrect, to bring back to life with a terrible purpose. To set it on everyone he’d known. Ambulon had died first, and so everyone else followed.
The rest of the medbay is going to die soon too. The rest of the ship has already followed. First Aid had promised to watch over them, and as the last spark sputters out in the darkness, he knows that there’s only one thing left for him to do.
He reaches down into his chassis, and with bloody hands, he pulls, and pulls, and pulls-
#first aid#ambulon#transformers#pharma#transformers idw#transformers mtmte#macaddam#see I promised I’d do it#and lookie here folks it’s don’it#can you tell my mood is funky from this one though :sob emoji:

I have a feeling that Sanji and Zoro’s death pact will be properly resolved in Elbaf, as it certainly doesn’t feel like we’re done with it. And while Elbaf is gearing up to be very Usopp-centric (and I can not overstate how hyped I am to see him take the spotlight again, finally), let’s not forget that this all ties back to Little Garden, the arc that properly introduced Zoro and Sanji’s rivalry by paralleling them with two rival giants who fought each other every day for over a century, but who also lost themselves in their grief when one thought the other death. The parallel isn’t even subtle, Little Garden’s biggest landmarks are the remnants of Dorry and Brogy’s dinosaur hunting competition. You know. The very same competition Zoro and Sanji posed to each other at the start of the arc?
But here’s the thing. I’m a little worried about how it’s going to be resolved. Because. Despite how readily Zoro agreed to kill Sanji if need be, he must have known that the crew would never forgive him. Zoro is Luffy’s specialest guy but Luffy would not accept any excuse as to why Sanji had to die. Nor anyone else in the crew. But. Does Sanji realize that?
Does he know that killing him would literally be the hardest thing Zoro would ever do, because it would mean literally betraying his Captain and crew? Luffy said he can’t become Pirate King without Sanji, and Zoro and Luffy swore they’d commit fucking ritualistic suicide if they got in the way of each other’s dreams, so does Sanji know where that would leave the swordsman in this case? With no Captain, no crew, and yet another dead rival and best friend (who, mind you, began to live in fear of his own biology betraying him right before dying. but the parallels between Kuina and Sanji and how they relate to Zoro could be a long ass post for another day).
I think he doesn’t know. But he can’t find out how Zoro would mourn him unless the pact actually follows through. But still, I don’t think Oda would kill Sanji, cause that’s no way to resolve this issue. So here’s my speculation about how I think it could potentially play out, following that initial line of thinking of the death pact’s resolution being set in Elbaf, specifically because of Sanji and Zoro’s parallels to Dorry and Brogy.
Like Brogy, Zoro would have to believe that he killed Sanji. That he won their final duel. He’d have to believe that Sanji has fallen and, also like Brogy, have to face that grief and hurt all alone. But in the end, like Dorry, Sanji would survive, having never actually been hurt. Because their edges have dulled after fighting for so long, no longer as capable of landing killing blows as they thought. “Not even the blades of Elbaf could endure two giants fighting for 100 years”? Something of the sort. And maybe this line of speculation is simplistic or optimistic, but the chances of it playing out like this aren’t zero, so just in case, I would want to be able to say that I called it.
#i also cant rlly see the death pact being brought up again anytime before we get to elbaf proper#and any time afterward itd just feel. out of place? like too personal a conflict to be placed into the final arc where the strawhats-#-are supposed to be at their strongest and ready for their final challenges. Infighting at that stage would feel distracting? Melodramatic?#Zoro’s also not gonna finish fighting Mihawk and then go fight Sanji like it’s items on a murder grocery list#specially because it feels weird to place his showdown with his current friend-rival AFTER fulfilling his promise to Kuina? And not before?#like idk idk Oda is very meticulous about fitting all his plotlines together I’m sure he’ll know what to do better than me#but uh. This is my pitch on how and when it could play out#one piece#my post#zosan#??? I MEAN#you cant discuss the death pact without making it a little bit zosan#idk how to tag this tho or how many people i’d like to see this. hn

‘The rate of which I make art for AO3 fics in the library VS. the rate of me adding in new fics into the library’ makes an unfair battle. 12 pieces in and 90 fics (and counting) in store…. This is not a war I can win….
P.S. I make them simply to decorate my Apple Library with AO3 fics I like (self-indulgence). The drawing is dependent on my mood + what I felt like drawing/trying out, and the content of the fic. It is as subjective as it is NOT indicative of what the fic is like. I highly recommend you check the following fics out yourself.
Links to the fics:
City of Sunshine

Like a Promise

When you answered the ask asking about your art style (which is a post I keep looking back on bc what you have to say is very interesting) in one of your screenshots of you talking you mention something about how most if not all of your symbolism is self referent and I was wondering what you meant by that!
Hellloooo. I’m glad you found my ranting interesting. Here is some Dirk art I’m probably never going to finish for your troubles.
What I meant by that when talking about any symbolism in my art is that it doesn’t reference outside sources - e.g. where some art might use something like religious concepts, animals, real life events to represent ideas, I tend to use things more like colors, contrasting objects, composition. That sort of thing. So things that are inherently a part of the work itself rather than connections to the real world. If I ever do use symbolism otherwise, it’s usually comic related even still. Although I have done pieces with religious symbolism before too, haha.
I don’t know how to describe it other than “self referential” because I’m not really sure what else to classify that sort of symbolism as. Just… artistic maybe? Non literal? I couldn’t say. I think it all basically just goes along with the majority of my art nowadays being more figurative than literal. Sorry if this doesn’t explain it very well. It’s also funny to think that anyone is “Looking back” on any of my texts posts though, haha. To me I feel like I am just dumping my words on my poor followers. Surprising. Thank you for reading.
#ask#Sorry for more art rambling. If I am responding to this then I might as well post the rant about art stylisation responding to another ask#I’m nervous about alienating my audience with too much not homestuck posting.#I really ought to just spam my asks considering I promised myself I’d take a 5 day break from drawing#(Too much drawing)#so it is the perfect time to answer asks. But I’m still nervous about spamming. Haha#I know art beyond a character based level isn’t something that most homestuck fans necessarily care about. Which is fine#but *I* do. Might delete later#If you see me posting this Dirk art (finished) at some point in the future then ignore it. Haha#Also religious symbolism piece was the Rosebot one I did… somewhat recently I think#Edit : I think probably the best way to classify it would just be visual symbolism actually

the glenn macdennis comment hurt obviously but also so necessarily cause i’d gotten too delusional i was too obsessed with the potential final prize instead of fully enjoying what i love about what macden is rn which is the saddest awfulest gay tragedy ever written this is such a good catalyst for lowering my expectations and just living laughing loving in the doomed queerbait this is what shipping’s about what fandom’s about what life is about let us rest peacefully knowing that we absolutely will still get shit and it’ll be crazy and funny and sad but ultimately the power to make it beautiful lies with us. as the queerbait gods intended
#or is this just coping. who knows#do still need a five minute sex scene but they can be friends after it#because he is right. it’s funny#it’s also horrible which is the show#but yeah stings oh boy it stings but also this is so so good and fun#and then if it does end up happening we didn’t expect it which makes it better lmao#overall very important thing i think. this is how queerbait should be done it’s beautiful#but yes hush hush don’t worry this is better in the long run i promise#unless it stunts the character development but i don’t think they’d let that happen#that’s like glenn’s favourite thing#but yeah macden is so beyond normal queerbait anyway and i’d honestly been forgetting how fun it was before s16 when it was so unknown#i’m so ready to get back to that complete lack of trust in anything before s17#seeing that tweet did feel like being shot though#‘we need more doomed toxic queerbait’ you couldn’t even handle glenn howerton saying macdennis will never be fully canon#iasip#macdennis#+

No one asked for this lol but I was talking about it the other day- the killjoys essay I did for my junior year 🫶
Some little notes:
This is set in a world where the Fab Four faked their deaths after the events in Sing, hence why they’re here!
The characters Ghost Bullet, Cyanide Candy, Black Heart, Glitter Baby, Acid Cat, and Lighting Storm are ocs created by my best friend tumblr user @frankierosbackbends and myself!
Speaking of Cyanide, Ghost, Acid, and Storm, they’re based off of sims Niamh (@frankierosbackbends) and I created about 5-6 years ago, who you can meet here!
Annoyingly so, I live in Florida. By now, we all know Florida fucking sucks. This was written around the time the don’t say gay bill was passed. Being scared at the time, I hid the fact that Ghost and Cyanide are gay, which made me feel awful I had to hide that part of them. And I still feel awful about it. I was scared of any repercussion I could’ve faced, so while it’s know that they’re together, I hid the fact they were gay men. It still really annoys me almost 2 years later that I did this.
If it’s not great, it was for school lol. I would’ve done a lot more if I didn’t have school barriers around me
#and i got an a on this!#there’s soooo many things i’d like to fix up tho#i could do this in my spare time honestly#and maybe post it on here. we’ll see!#i promise i’m a much better writer than this lol#danger days#danger days: the true lives of the fabulous killjoys#the true lives of the fabulous killjoys#killjoys#killjoys california#killjoys: california#mcr#my chemical romance#my chem#party poison#jet star#kobra kid#fun ghoul#cyanide candy#ghost bullet#black heart#glitter baby#acid cat#lightning storm

Remember the two cakes analogy? That applies to ideas as well!
Worried you’ve got the same idea as someone else? Just go for it! Make it your own. No idea is completely unique, and at the same time, no two versions of the same idea are ever going to be completely identical! No one else is going to do it like you do it. And if people are interested in that sort of thing, then maybe they want the same thing but slightly to the left. Maybe they’ll like it the way you do it. You never know unless you try, so keep at it!
#fablespeaks#I see a lot of people getting sad whe; there’s a new idea or someone posted a picture with a theme they wanted to post#but I’d never complain if I saw a concept I liked drawn or written in more than one different way#people think of the same ideas sometimes but as long as you do it your own way you shouldn’t let that stop you#draw the caged moon meme#make that au that sounds similar to someone else’s#I promise you it won’t be the same if you make it your own

I am a bit of a porcelain doll collector. I’ve adored them since I was young and always found myself drawn towards certain dolls, today I found this one:
Have you ever seen a doll look more sad and despondent? She’s never been taken out of the box, she’s still wired to the back.
#would anyone like to see the rest of my collection? I have a few#I promised I’d take her out once I was able to do so safely#I always get so gentle and sentimental with these dolls and I always talk to them like they’re people#I adore them#dolls#porcelain dolls

Which one is the mask? Daredevil/Matt Murdock
I think that, to some extent, they are both the mask.
When people write about this, they (tend to) talk as if Matt Murdock and Daredevil are two personalities placed into one mind, two definitively separate halves of a whole. I don’t necessarily agree with that. Matt Murdock is Daredevil and Daredevil is Matt Murdock, and there is no sharp line between them only a blur. They are just different aspects of one personality, unbalanced when viewed without the context of the other.
I do get the ‘two halves of a whole’ thing, and I think there is an amount of truth to that. But there is no clear separation between the two, no point where Matt Murdock ends and Daredevil begins.
Those who only know Daredevil would think of him as brutal and violent, which he is. Yet those who only know Matt Murdock would think of him as soft spoken and charming, and he’s all that too. Daredevil and Matt Murdock are not mutually exclusive. They coexist.
I also think that this is why Foggy doesn’t seem to accept that Matt can’t just give up being Daredevil. He knows Matt, has never known Daredevil so he finds it hard to accept that this soft spoken and charming guy is a brutal and violent vigilante. Matt acts as the mask there. (@ceterisparibus116 very much inspired this take)
(Plus, the (literal) mask isn’t what makes Matt Daredevil. The anonymity it provides allows him to be a vigilante, but removing the mask doesn’t erase what created/fuels Daredevil, it simply removes what enables Matt to physically be Daredevil.)
In short: Daredevil and Matt Murdock are not separate entities. They are simply different characteristics zoomed in on in a way that ignores the other parts entirely. Both are incomplete without the other, both are the mask.
#matt murdock#netflix daredevil#daredevil#which one is the mask#I love this question#it makes me think#and I don’t do that often#first tumblr post#it’s just me ranting about daredevil because what else would it be#i like him a normal amount#promise#if you disagree i’d love to see your takes on this :)#pls let me know I’m dying to have someone to talk to about Matt#I’ve bundled it up for so long I’m gonna explode with the amount of love I have for this man

can we talk about the absolutely amazing job stargate sg1 does with jack and daniel’s dynamic? they’re so different and yet so similar. their perspectives and moralities are completely different, but i think they have the same flaws: they both believe their perspectives are correct, and they both let their emotions get the best of them. because of that they’re capable of being so mean to each other. and i love the fact that their morals are the source of most of their conflicts, because i don’t think i’ve ever seen a show where two characters major difference is because of their morality. and it makes the audience think, because in most situations where they disagree neither of their approaches are really wrong.
#inspired by me watching the s5 episode ‘menace’ with the robot girl#it’s easier for me to empathize with daniel than jack#however. i do think daniel owed jack an apology because calling him a stupid son of a b¡tch is crazy 😭#(which i 100% think daniel does even if we didn’t get to see it)#but i think i’d absolutely prefer upsetting daniel bc all he’ll do is be a little mean and cry#whereas jack is liable to kill me#also i like that we get moral dilemmas in sg1. sga would be way more interesting if everyone wasn’t just down with war crimes#last rambling tag i promise. but i guarantee the sga michael stuff wouldn’t have happened if daniel was there#stargate sg1#daniel jackson#jack o'neill

i so want to meet all the men who comment things like “people who think that house and wilson are gay just haven’t had a close male friendship” not at all because i think they’re wrong it’s the opposite i’m fascinated by them i think they’re living in a beautiful world and i wanna learn from them secrets that i’m clearly not enlightened enough to yet understand but also i mean a few of them have gotta be gay and i wanna help those ones but the others i think could help me
#also because we’re actually ultimately on the same team and i’d like them to see that#like i promise u mate i appreciate their canon platonic relationship as much as u do#it’s just fun to think they’re kinda gay on top of that#we’re all holding hands here#house md#hilson#+
