every year the ao3 stats come out and every year people insist that the lack of women isn’t misogyny but because ‘most fic writers are female and therefore enjoy writing about men more’ and every year they don’t seem to understand that they themselves have just described a version of misogyny

"I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I don't think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I'm just telling you to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live it up, drink it down, avoid the bullshit. Don't fake it. Just live it." - Ellen Goodman

Me estoy volviendo adicto al cigarro. En mis casi 40 jamás había sentido que algo golpeara mi cerebro por dentro dejándome un adormecimiento agradable, aunque efímero.

I hate drawing Prime designs so much but I am plagued by visions

Every time the rat and I talk to each other about Transformers, some new AU or canon divergence comes into existance.

The latest of which is a Breakdown redemption for Transformers Prime that involves Breakdown taking most of Smokescreen's plot and screen time whilst making Smokescreen besties with Ultra Magnus.

Allow me to explain:

Breakdown properly switches sides somewhere during or shortly after Crossfire, or sometime around Toxicity for that nice replacement thing with Breakdown instead of Smokescreen. He gets to have his whole redemption arc, things happen, Darkmount happens, and Breakdown is the one left trying to save Optimus. (He also has the phase shifter at this point)

Now, you may be asking, "Where is Smokescreen?" And boy let me tell you!!

For this all to work, Smokescreen has to remain in the Iacon Hall of Records for just a little bit longer. For you see, after Alpha Trion knocked him out, he was sequestered away somewhere where he could remain hidden and escape on his own. This did not happen.

What did happen was one Ultra Magnus, just about to leave Cybertron, comes across the rubble of the Hall of Records. He scours the area for a short amount of time, hoping there's some supplies, relics, or energon he could use for the long journey to who-knows-where. He comes across none of the above. He does, however, find one passed out, rather young-looking Elite Guardsman. Magnus grabs the kid, takes him to his ship, and the two leave Cybertron. The planet's dead, Iacon had fallen, there was nothing left for them here.

So now Ultra Magnus is in space with an unconscious kid. Not for long, as Smokescreen does wake up rather quickly. Explanations are had, and Smokes discovers the fall of the very place he was supposed to be protecting. Magnus hears Smokescreen's side of the story as well. (Certain things aren't adding up, but he isn't sure exactly why. His best assumption is that there was a Con on the inside who knocked the kid out before the Hall was attacked.)

And so begins the very, very long journey through space.

I have so many ideas for this and so many fun things that happen. Not only do I love a good Breakdown redemption, this one isn't at the cost of Smokescreen. In fact! I would say that Smokescreen is having a much better time here compared to in canon.

gotta say I am a huge sucker for how Adventure Time will sometimes just cut to Princess Bubblegum doing something extremely morally dubious like cutting off a tiny person’s limbs with scissors and then sticking those arms and legs onto another tiny person’s limb stumps but then she'll turn around and go like "Good morning, Finn! Are you ready for a sploinking day?" and whatever atrocities she had just been committing will Never be brought up again.

I can't remember which book it's from but I remember at one point it being said that moomins can't sing, and yet if I remember correctly the first song moomintroll sings in the 2019 series is to a horse and about how bad he wants her

So I had this little decorative pumpkin since October-one of those tiny, white varieties with the really tough outer shell/skin? Like, sure you COULD eat them but they're not really bred/grown to be... anyways. Somehow it's kept up/not rotten this entire time, so I decided to experiment a little.

I sliced it up and put it in a salt water and soy sauce brine and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours.

Took some out a little later, and tried frying it in some bacon fat, and poured a little more soy sauce and sesame oil, and it turned out not half-bad! \o/

I hate suddenly knowing a lot of people how did I literally become that one bitch in the sitcom that's always everywhere

“well maybe I'd like this character better if they made more logical decisions in highly emotional moments” what if I hunt you for sport
