My piece for the Malevolent Big Bang 2023! ( @malevolentbigbang )
Image ID in alt and under the cut (with some extra silly doodles!!)
It was an absolute honour to work with everyone on @organchordsandlightning ‘s fic!! It’s such an amazing story, I couldn’t recommend it more!! (I might have cried a bit)
You can read it here!
[ID: Digital art of Arthur Lester sitting cross-legged holding a golden haired baby, presumably Emily McFarland, swaddled in a golden blanket. Arthur, or rather John, is gazing down at her lovingly, tears running down his face. He is sitting against a stone bricked wall, with dark vines crawling towards him and blood splatters behind and on him and Emily. /End ID]
Unofficial doodles I made to try to come up with ideas! (Also cuz I went a little insane over the fic for a bit)
[Image ID: Screenshot of a Procreate canvas tinted a light cream. Several monochrome (excluding a blush applied to each figure) digital sketches of John Doe and Arthur Lester cover the canvas. John is portrayed as a large (in musculature) man with dark prominent eyebrows, a curved nose, a stubbly goatee (only on the chin) and yellow eyes with slight wrinkles underneath. He has dark hair styled similar to the ‘Façon’ hairstyle, though more messy and swooping/fluffy. He is also lightly shaded in.
Arthur is portrayed as a slight man with very messy hair reminiscent of the cut of the ‘contour’ hairstyle (but with no gel and grown out slightly). He has a moustache and prominent eye bags as well as many [canon] scars. His scars include: a nick on his right eyebrow close to his eye, a long thin scar along his neck, a large, messy, scraping scar on his right jaw and cheek, his wooden right pinky (sometimes not depicted on accident), and various other bodily scars. From left to right the sketches are as follows:
The top left sketch is of Arthur, in a plain white button down, seemingly laughing affectionately and looking downwards.
The next sketch is of John, in a button down, tie, vest and slacks, as he looks down at a bundle in his arms (the baby, or, Emily McFarland) with an anxious expression with wide eyes. The caption reads: “You are” [crossed out] “He’s a Dad!! (Boogie Woogie Woogie!!”
The next drawing is a design sketch of John, in the same clothes as before. He is looking to the right with a serious expression, eyebrows drawn together. The caption to the right of John says: “John’s Human Body.” The notes read as such: “In Arthur’s POVs, Just a silhouette w/ eyes”[pointing to the sketch].
The next is a series of four(4) drawings. The first being a darkened silly here of a figure (John) in a doorway, holding the door open with the caption “ominous.” The second is another sketch of John, still in the doorway, but now visible and this time in a tank top and sleep shorts, with messy hair, more stubble and an exhausted expression. There is a speech bubble reading, “Can I come in?” attached to him. A caption is to the right, also attached to the next drawing, and says, “same energy as:” the next sketch is in a simpler chibi-like style compared to the last, though it reflects the same moment from a different angle, with John saying a bit more pitifully, “Mom, I frew up.” The last sketch in the series is of Arthur, in the simpler style, looking as if he just woke up, with an exhausted and exasperated expression, squinting forward, as he hunches over and balls his hands into the blankets. The caption with an arrow pointing to him says, “Thought he was done w/ midnight invasions after Faroe”
In the upper middle left, there is one drawing of John, in button down and vest, anxiously clutching his chest/shirt, with wide eyes and a frightened nervous expression. The caption with an arrow pointing to him reads, “Look what you’ve done,,, you’ve given him anxiety”
The lower middle left contains another series of three (3) drawings, in the simpler style, starting with one of John. He is wearing a dark suit with a light button up and trench coat. He is looking at someone slightly off camera with a pleading look not unlike “puppy dog eyes” and is saying, “Could I take a cab?” The next drawing in the series is of Arthur, wearing a suit, tie and button down, with a confused look on his face, the caption reading, “*processing *” The next drawing is the continuation of the last, but Arthur is angry and flushing, his hands in the air as he shouts, “I’M NOT A CAB, JOHN”
The next sketch is of Arthur, in the last outfit, with his right hand on his hip and his left doing ‘jazz hands’. He is grinning smugly , his eyebrows raised high above his dark sunglasses. The caption around him reads, “Best Detective in ✨Arkham✨”
The very last sketch on the canvas, in the bottom left corner is of a cop (no discernible features except a hat, button down, and mouth) talking to Arthur, who looks resigned but pained. The cop says, “Man, this guy has shit luck” /end ID]

J.J.'s Dragon form
J.J., being a dragon fae, has the ability to transform into a dragon. Even though he's based on Jabberwocky, I wanted to combine the Jabberwocky with the idea of my other favorite dragon design. Sombron from Fire Emblem Engage:
So J.J's design would take the claw like tail, the hood of the head, and the wing design while still keeping everything else from the "Alice in Wonderland live action" Jabberwocky design:
When would this form of his be seen? During the first book, when they're fighting Riddle and J.J. flies in to handle Riddle's overblot monster, getting it separated from Riddle in the process so the others can handle him better. While everyone's trying to figure out how to deal with Riddle, they hear a roar in the distance:
youtube
And it freaks everyone out as they see something black flying towards them, only to have the thing tackle Riddle's monster instead.

im so happy other people have the headcanon of “qsmp eggs look like their parents + start looking like the people they hang most around” because i’ve had that idea since like. day one of the eggs lmao
i’ve only drawn dapper, but! i have many design ideas that i wanna write out (bc i might forget them lol), if you have any questions, feel free to ask them, I love talking about my designs, they are weird and silly and i love them all, i promise i will not be upset if you ask something i will instead by very happy
first, each egg started off basically as a blank slate (this is all with human designs in mind), just whatever is their defining detail but also pure white clothes, white hair, etc. but the more they hang around their parent(s), they go through a transformation and then look like their parent(s), typically after an emotional/impactful moment, like how pokemon evolve in the anime
second, to be more specific, every egg has different “Styles” that match each of their parents, as well as a few having mixes of parents (the beginning 8 [except Tilin and Dapper] and Richas w/ TazerCraft) called Duo Styles. All these Styles represent and resemble their parents in some way.
Still, these Styles can change over time, fading when a parent is absent, or warping to fit the people (not their parents) that are around them the most. This came from the idea that BBH takes care of a lot of the eggs very often, even being referred to as another parent. but what if he hangs around them so much they start to look like him,,, as an example, now that Tallulah sees Phil as her father figure and wants him to refer to her as his daughter, she technically has two Styles, Wilbur and Phil, but since Bad takes care of her so often, tiny details start to change. most obvious, her eyes are becoming lighter, like Bad’s pure white eyes, as well as the tips of her fingers and fingernails creepily starting to turn into the charcoal black that Bad’s skin is.
Warping to Styles can be stopped if the egg accepts the person as their parent, in that case, a new Style would be made, and the previous Styles revert to being not affected.
Negative relationships with eggs or even between egg partners will reflect in the egg’s Style, for example, Mariana and Slime’s... thing they had going on? It showed in JuanaFlippas Duo Style
---------------
this is gonna be an entire essay, i’m sorry, but now its full on ramble time of each egg, some things will be vague, i’m just too lazy to try and describe it fully, while others i have more specific ideas that i wanna talk about ok lets get on with this mess:
-----
Bobby - Since he had such a close, positive relationship with both parents, Bobby has fully defined Styles of Jaiden and Roier, both having full patterns and even a bit of color in his hair. He also has a Duo Style, again, very developed, comfy, and stylish. As for any particular warping, he wore fingerless gloves (Cellbit), had yellow and green accents in his clothing (Mariana and Slime), and had slightly light eyes but nearly had his hands fully black (BBH)
-----
Chayanne - Fully defined Style of Philza, even to the point of having small crown shaped arm bands from his stories of Techno. As for Missa, his Style is less defined from not being around very often, but still very Missa, lots of bones and purples/blues. His Duo Style is more leaning towards Phil, but noticeably different from Phil’s Style. His clothing has soft yellow accents (Wilbur), a leather holster for his sword and one shoulder pad (Fit), and lately, his eyes are pure white (Missa Style already had pretty light colored eyes, but they’re now pure white from Bad)
-----
Dapper - He’s basically Bad’s mini self, I’ve already made a design for him a while back, but it needs to be updated. After Baghera, he now has a second style! Lots of soft, fluffy colors and textures. Owns a pair of sunglasses that he wears every now and then (Max), has some brown accents in his clothing and a dark grey glove on his left hand (Fit), horns have bright yellow tips, his shoes have purple accents, and his hair is braided back in Baghera’s Style (Forever), and his clothes have gold and diamond details (Foolish and Skeppy respectively)
-----
JuanaFlippa - With Slime’s Style, the ends of her limbs and hair were slime-like and green, and even had one of the slime creatures (?) that Slime has on his head and shoulder. Mariana’s Style wasn’t as defined, but still had the same colors and generally shapes. Her Duo Style was messy and vague, kinda like if you took the two main Styles and mushed them together, instead of being a third new one.
-----
Leo - Very defined Styles of Foolish, Vegetta, and Duo. Foolish’s Style has many gold and emerald details, and is comfortable to even swim in (because shark). Vegetta’s Style resembles Trunks/Bulla from Dragon Ball because haha funny. While not being a parental figure, Leo does have a Roier Style, with heavy details of Cellbit. They have semi-red horns (Bad), black accents in their clothes (Bad and Max), and fingerless gloves (Cellbit)
-----
Ramon - Duo and Spreen Style has nearly fully faded, but Fit’s Style, similar to Bad and Dapper, is very much like Fit himself. Lot’s of warping from Bad, charcoal skin goes up past his knees and elbows, horns are almost fully red, and eyes are also nearly fully white. He wears fingerless gloves and has a white streak in his hair (White streak earlier resembled Spreen, but is now closer to Cellbit’s hair)
-----
Tilin - Never formed a Luzu or Duo Style, and his Quackity style barely resembled Quackity. Bright purple eyes and accents in clothing (Jaiden), bright red accents and spider web details (Roier), red/white shoes and green under shirt (Slimcicle)
-----
Trumpet - Dan and Duo Styles vaguely resemble Dan at all, but it was still noticeable. On the other hand, Maximus’ Style was very defined. Had pure white eyes and red horns (Bad)
-----
Tallulah - Again, Wilbur’s Style resembles Wilbur exactly, even after all this time. She doesn’t use his Style since he left, but it’s still exactly how it was since then (aside from warping). She had HEAVY warping from Phil, but since asking him to refer to her as his daughter, she now has a Philza Style. She has a lot of colors in her clothing, im gonna have fun designing her (i say, through gritted teeth) Her hair is now a lighter brown, nearly a dirty blond, and is braided back (Forever), eyes are fully white, hands are becoming that pure black, and she has many black accents in her clothing (Bad), a white streak in her hair and some dark brown accents in clothing (Cellbit), previously had dark brown eyes, still has light brown/blue accents (Fit), previously had dark blue accents(Quackity, not anymore tho), and her horns are purple (Jaiden). I’m gonna regret doing this once I get to drawing her design but its ok i’ll survive. maybe.
-----
Richarlyson - Style for all five parents, Felps is the least defined but still there, and TazerCraft does have a Duo Style. He also has a Quackity Style, but that has been slowly fading since the arrival of El Quackity. Red horns and black accents (Bad), yellow accents (Baghera), and a few emerald details (Foolish)
-----
Pomme - Has five Styles, but Kameto’s is basically just a dark blue dress since he was barely there, all others are very defined. Consistently has bright blond hair in all Styles (Forever), red accents in clothing (Forever and Bad), and has some black accents (Bad)
-----
This is gonna be the death of me but I just needed to get these ideas and designs out of my head, I draw so slowly and I didn’t wanna forget anything so spitting them out in text form was my best bet, once i finish this kirakira precure drawings, i’ll start drawing these out, some of the wording might be confusing, i apologize, but it’ll all make sense once i draw them out

SHIPPING INFO.
answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.
What’s your OTP for your Muse(s)?
in broadest terms, my otp will always be dai n dark with someone who sees, understands, and accepts the two as a singular unit and whom they can both hone their affections on. it's okay if it's weird or difficult for a muse to come to terms with at first, and it's okay if there's some things to work out even after the fact, but a healthy, actual full-blown & mutually reciprocated romantic relationship cannot ever happen without both sides of dai n dark being completely acknowledged. this is the sweet spot; this is both dark and daisuke happy and carefree about their transformations around someone else.
What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?
just about anything as long as we're on the same page. one-sided crushes, hopeless, impossible romances, slowburns, complicated and complex dynamics alongside simple wholesome head over heels romances, dnangel canonically explores this with dynamics like riku and daisuke & dark and risa. just remember that due to the nature of this muse dark and daisuke are essentially already a polyamorous package to those who try to ship with them, you get two embarrassing loverboys for the price of one. in regards to toxic relationships, i do have a limit - i don't want dai or dark to ever suffer too much, and they themselves would never actively, intentionally engage in a toxic dynamic as the toxic ones (leave that to krad,) but if i think a dynamic is interesting enough and we're careful about boundaries, sure, we can talk it out. daisuke's not immune to offering his neck up to vampires or digging his heels in to hold someone back sometimes, if u know what i mean.
How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?
daisuke's 14/15, (i usually write him at 15) while dark's appearance is that of a 16 or 17 year old, (this is static and does not change, he's 2000 yrs old,) but they're both still canonically minors so i don't really like shipping them with anyone who's even around 18. (goes without saying i won't ship them with anyone even older/adults, stop that.) a year give or take from daisuke's age is probably what i'm most comfortable with; any younger and he's willing to be an older brother figure instead, while anyone older should recognize him (yes, and dark too!) as still A Kid.
Are you selective when shipping?
somewhat. due to some pretty horrible experiences in the past, i'm not a fan of when people immediately try to push a ship onto me, especially if it's one without any prior development or character dynamic establishment. the nature of this muse demands understanding and true intimacy, if not a certain level of patience at times. it's very, very difficult to just jump into a ship with them if what you want is full-blown romance right away. if i don't feel the reciprocated grasp of my own muse is there, i'm going to lose interest real fast and the ship won't hold any personal value to me. idgaf how hot anybody thinks dark is, even if i know his design pulls in people hoping for a ship. it's low priority to me.
How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?
Who are other muses you ship your muse with?
what, like canonically? riku and daisuke for the healthy stuff, risa and dark for the hopeless stuff, i wouldn't mind exploring sato and daisuke a little, but that's extremely complex and i do prefer them as complicated friends/rivals/cat n mouse, cop n criminal, artist n phantom thief dichotomies <- this is already unbelievably interesting to me without any shoe-horned in romance. idk who else exists, the series already focuses on rom-com shenanigans most of the time. if it's non-canon muses, it's w/e. i don't look at charas and immediately jump to ship them with my muse.
Does one have to ask to ship with you?
nope! if it develops through extended ic interaction that's perfectly fine and actually my preference as opposed to asking. feels more natural that way. i hate writing an empty romance that has no actual legitimate ic memories involved, frankly. how do u love someone u literally don't even know and all that
How often do you like to ship?
it's whatever. i leave it up to my muse, daisuke's very prone to positive feelings about others that can transform (heh) into romantic desire, but if i shipped with every single one of my followers just because they were shippable i'd be bored and disappointed tbh
Are you multiship?
i am!
Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?
ship idgaf.... just give me a fun dynamic or else. 💥
What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?
riku is soooooo good you guys she's so good. if you guys read the light novels you'd know how good she was. her relationship with daisuke is the main focus of the series, so it's natural it ends up my favorite. i don't have time to unpack all of it but basically riku's clumsy and a teenager and daisuke's clumsy and a teenager but they both like each other so much and would do anything for each other. they're so good
Finally, how does one ship with you?
write a 30 note thread with me with daisuke transforming and howling out his window that he loves you and that it's not a joke or just dark speaking and he really really loves you or write 82484248 threads where little by little daisuke falls in love and tries to muster up the right time / environment to confess or confess to daisuke first and then be gentle with him even after he starts to flounder cause he's never been confessed to before n doesn't think he'd ever be confessed to in the first place, the methods n possibilities are endless, and so i'll say the only method that DOESN'T work is trying to romance dark before daisuke. he'll turn you down very nicely or make some promise about 'next time' but that's a lie, he's stealing and eating your heart. dark's heart is daisuke's; without daisuke his quite literally doesn't exist. you can't reach dark without having something (anything) with daisuke first, so try that instead.

Oh, ashes, ashes, Dust to dust
Title - Oh, ashes, ashes, Dust to dust
Rating - General Audiences
Archive Warning - No Archive Warnings Apply
Category - M/M
Fandom - Keeper of the Lost Cities - Shannon Messenger
Relationship - Councillor Bronte/Fintan Pyren
Characters - Fintan Pyren, Councillor Bronte
Additional Tags - Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Book 03: Everblaze (Keeper of the Lost Cities)
Summary - ‘After Fintan burnt Oblivimyre down during his healing, he sneaks his way into Bronte’s Castle in Eternalia so he has somewhere to stay. Bronte decides to help him stay hidden/keep people thinking he’s dead.’
its gonna be a multi chapter (hopefully) fintante fic that my tumblr mutual kale gave me when i was bitching about the appalling lack of fintante fics on ao3 (thanks kale!)
‘Councillor! Are you okay?' A younger Bronte yelled out to the councillor.
‘Yes, I am fine. Thank you, Emissary Bronte,’ he replied. ‘I should’ve expected that to happen.’
Bronte sighed and gave a small chuckle.
Councillor Fintan had been attempting to create some fire, although it wasn’t a type that was known or studied. He was attempting to create a brand new type of fire. He called it ‘Balefire’ and said that his end goal was to make a fire that could sustain itself without fuel, contained inside of a crystal, just like the ones used for leaping. Bronte asked if he could sit in while he figured out how to design and create this idea.
What had just happened was that in one of Fintan’s many attempts at trying to bring his ideas to reality, the crystal had shattered and rained little glittering sparkles over the two of them. The crystal had made a loud bang as it broke, scaring Bronte to his feet.
‘Do you really think this can work, Fintan?’ Questioned Bronte.
‘Do you doubt me that much, Bronte?’ Responded Fintan.
The two elves locked eyes with each other, and Bronte was the one to break the slightly uncomfortable silence.
‘You’re right. I should doubt your vision, Councillor.’
Bronte said, stone cold, but Fintan could see his embarrassment on his face. Despite his tone, Bronte’s face was alight with red and rosy cheeks, and he was awkwardly looking away from Fintan, not wanting to meet his eyes as Fintan stared at him intensely.
‘Look at me, Bronte.’ Fintan asked, although it didn’t really feel like a request coming from the councillor.
Bronte still felt too embarrassed to meet his eyes, so he decided to look at Fintan’s circlet.
He first looked towards the sides of the circlet, golden metals making pretty patterns that led to the centre, where a crystal made of a sunset orange-coloured sunstone was set in place with smaller shards of red carnelian, the circlet demanding respect.
‘I said, Look at my eyes, Bronte. Not my circlet,’ Fintan commanded, assertive but not aggressive. Bronte looked a little further down Fintan’s face, down to his bright blue eyes.
Fintan’s gaze was both stern and calm, a complex display of emotions that made Bronte slightly uncomfortable looking into his eyes.
‘I'm sorry, councillor, for any disrespect; I didn't mean it.’ Bronte answered back.
‘'s ok, Bronte. I know you; I know you meant no offence by what you said. Be careful next time, though; not everyone is as nice as me.' Fintan said it with a teasing tone and a playful smirk. Bronte looked away again, and the blush returned after it had finally left his face alone.
~~~~~~~~~~
‘Bronte, hey Bronte.’ Fintan said, drawing Bronte out of his imagination.
He missed the days when Fintan was known for his goodness, his ability to help.
If only he had known how Fintan felt about the world, maybe he could have helped change everyone’s minds. Maybe Fintan could have never started a rebellion, changing so many lives.
Unlike not long ago, Fintan was now known for his bad acts, the all-consuming everblaze he learned how to summon, the rebellion he ended up leading. Bronte wished it was how it used to be. Fintan was a pillar of hope for people who were just like the two of them.
Not many people knew for certain who he and Fintan were to each other. Now that Bronte thought about it, he realised that Oralie and Kenric reflected him and Fintan in a way, two councillors, in love, but both never stepped off together before it was too late. One of the striking differences was that Kenric and Oralie would’ve been a perfect pair, both in their souls and on their matching scrolls. He and Fintan would’ve never had that for themselves.
‘I’m sorry, Fintan. i got lost in my thoughts.’ Bronte responded after sometime
‘i get it. do you wanna talk about it while i try to fix up my injuries?’ Fintan added
‘maybe later, but you don’t have to try to fix your injuries by yourself,’ Bronte assured ‘hand me the cream and bandages, would you please, Fintan’
Fintan reached over to where the medical kit was resting, grabbing what Bronte needed with a little wince when he had to stretch to grab the bandages.
when Bronte saw that Fintan had what he needed, he walked closer and sat down behind him

Not So Generic Coffee Shop AU
Just dug through the mess that is my fic file and dug out an old forgotten bit.
Jimmy was sure he had his life figured out. He had a stable job - the coffee shop he worked at might be owned by his sister but she would not keep him if he was bad at his job. He had a lovely boyfriend, Tango, and all his friends and Lizzie liked him well enough. But the longer they were together the more Jimmy felt that...
Tango was a great... friend. He was handsome and charming and a perfect boyfriend. But to Jimmy, all they did together didn't really feel that much like they were a couple more like friends who occasionally made out and did all the other couple stuff. But their dates always felt just like friends hanging out. Tango's plans for them were never too concrete and easy to drop if Jimmy didn't feel like going out for pizza and to the games parlour. He saw nothing wrong with staying at home with popcorn and watching movies. They rarely did too many couple things...
Scott was likely to blame for Jimmy's disappointment. Who's Scott? Jimmy's boyfriend from his university days. They stayed together a couple of years after they graduated and decided to have some time apart and somehow that led to them drifting apart.
No matter. What Scott did was set a high standard for anyone Jimmy would date now. Scott was a romantic through and through. Even if Jimmy was tired he'd make his time magical and special. He'd surprise him with gifts and random small outings and dates. A performance in a small park Jimmy didn't even know was near their apartment. A dinner for two in a cosy, family restaurant two blocks away. Give him random gifts accompanied by flowers. Be it a single flower or a whole bouquet. Make breakfast in bed after dragging a tired Jimmy to a theatre. Get them dumb matching sweaters and mugs Jimmy still had deep in his closet, in an old shoe box. It was honestly an old box from Scott's shoes... Jimmy was pretty sure he got them for Scott though.
As much as Jimmy loved hanging out with Tango he couldn't stay with him as he was. It would not work out for either of them in the long run. He knew Tango would not 'break up' with him. Jimmy would call it a mutual agreement that they were not working out. No matter how he'd call it Tango would try to work it all out. Jimmy could not go on like that. And he knew where Scott worked a year ago... He might not be working there anymore. But a coffee shop nearby was hiring so Jimmy started by dropping his resume. As corny as 'the Swaggon CO.'s branding was it was a nice spot and store.
The next thing he did in this uncharacteristic bout of spontaneous possible self-destruction was look for an apartment nearby. He had enough personal savings to get a small place for himself. Worst case scenario he could drop his resume at the swanky interior design company Scott used to work at. he was no Scott but he did have a fancy IT degree even if he wasn't using it. It'd be much harder to get into or leave later. Once the apartment was secured he slowly moved some of his things. Whenever Tango was at work and he had time he'd take small sections of his belongings.
When the shop eventually called him he told Lizzie he was breaking up with Tango. He didn't tell her about Scott, she was a bit angry at him for his and Jimmy's break up. She was sad but understood that maybe Jimmy was not feeling the relationship. The secrecy was confusing to her. "Liz, Tango's a sweetheart and an amazing buddy but I'm not feeling this as a serious relationship," he'd explain to her over coffee. "And he won't just let this go, it's not who he is... And I'll not force this to last until we're both rotting in misery..."
"So you think it's best you just vanish?" Lizzie glared at him.
"I'm feeling like I'm suffocating, Liz, I think I rushed things too much after Scott, I need to breathe a little bit more, and be my own man," Jimmy sighed. It was partially true. He should have just gone back and tried to convince Scott they should have stayed together. And he'd likely stay single for some time if he managed to find Scott but not get him back. Things felt rushed with Tango.
"If that's what you feel then okay," Lizzie sighed. She seemed convinced. "He's at work today? Then you can go and finish moving before I change my mind and call you an idiot," she added, leaving Jimmy with his styrofoam coffee cup. It was a slow day so it was no wonder she was okay with losing him.
Jimmy did not wait for Lizzie to change her mind. And quickly moved the rest of his things to his new place. He did leave Tango a lengthy letter explaining why he decided to leave. He wasn't a complete jerk.
He had no idea what to do in the three days before his first shift at the new shop. A morning shift since he already had experience and the place was relatively new. He got reacquainted with the area. Most of the small tucked-away spots that Scott used to take him to were gone in the year Jimmy didn't visit this part of town. There were still some left but not many. Oh, and he changed his number, that was like the first thing. Just to save Tango the pain. He did give it to Lizzie. She was his sister after all.
He did avoid the coffee shop and Scott's old workplace like fire even if he did live close by. Despite all he did he was somewhat scared to see Scott again. Scared and excited.
As expected of the more busy, modern and full of offices part of town the morning shift was a lot. A lot of the same order for simple black coffee. Did no office types drink interesting coffee? At least it was easy to make. Jimmy was slowly getting mentally drained by the same order for plain black coffee and plain bagels that sudden "Jimmy?" had him more spooked than he expected he'd be. As he looked up there he was.
Scott. In a dark plum suit with a dusty pink shirt under his vest. Teal hair already a mess. His nails painted in many colours as he ran one hand through his hair. And he still had that nice, leather bag Jimmy bought him for the last birthday they spent together. Or a very similar one. "Hi," Jimmy sent him a nervous smile. Very aware he must have looked atrocious in the dark maroon uniform of the Swaggon Coffee. "Should I ask about your order or see how well I remember how you like your coffee?" he might as well shoot his shot.
It seemed to be worth the risk as Scott chuckled and said "Sure, why not," he shrugged with a very familiar smirk. The smirk he had on whenever Jimmy would swear he'd do something nice for Scott just to have another nice thing thrown in his face. Or be pulled by the lapels of his shirt into a make-out session that likely leads to them leaving dinner plans for later.
"Got it, you're number eighteen," Jimmy did his best to answer with similar levels of confidence. And a wink he hoped wasn't too flirtatious.
Coconut caramel brown sugar latte with double whipped cream. It's as much of a mouth-full to say as a sugary punch to the face. Scott's favourite drink, which luckily was within the shop's policy. And had other baristas who hoped they'd be making interesting drinks looking at Jimmy with jealousy. He completely ignored them, focusing on making this the best drink he's ever made and he made this particular drink many times. While writing down the number on a cardboard ring that went around the cup Jimmy hesitated for a second. Scott would not mind if he... He might as well try. Scott was the type to like getting a number written on his cup.
"Number eighteen?" Jimmy called out and Scott almost skipped to pick up his coffee. Just coffee, Scott did proper meals and not two bagels for lunch and no breakfast. "Coconut-caramel brown sugar latte with double whipped cream," Jimmy listed off without a stutter. "I hope I remembered it right," he grinned.
"Perfectly," Scott chuckled back. "It's great seeing you... I shouldn't hold the line, but I hope I'll see you again, maroon's cute on you," he grinned.
"Hope to see you too," Jimmy waved as Scott left and instantly switched to business mode for the next customer.
Scott was internally screaming at himself for not asking for Jimmy's number. He missed him terribly in that year and was more than once considering trying to contact him. Having all of Jimmy's technology knowledge was nice and he sure knew more than the whole current IT department of the design company Scott was working for. But most importantly, Jimmy was an amazing boyfriend. He seldom insisted they drop any plans Scott made for them. And even tried to return it. Scott was more than okay with being the one doing all the spoiling of Jimmy.
He didn't even have time to take more than a couple sips of his coffee as his boss waltzed into his office - Scott was high rank enough to have his own small office. "Scott, we have a new head of IT and...," he announced as a very handsome, red-headed man with very pretty blue eyes followed him in. "I need you to show him the designer's side of our systems," the boss grinned and before Scott could even try to refuse left.
'Damn you Sausage, why won't you send him to Pix?' Scott sighed internally. "I'm Scott, sorry about him..."
"I'm used to that, fWhip by the way. Is it normal to get someone's number on your cup around here?" redhead waved it off.
It took Scott an embarrassing couple of seconds to register what fWhip said. Cup. His coffee cup. That Jimmy made. And there was indeed a number on the cardboard protector on it aside from the number eighteen. "No... I just happen to know the barista," Scott quickly covered up his mild shock. Did it mean Jimmy wanted them to talk again? He dared not hope for more but a small part of him thought there might be a chance. Jimmy was never good a flirting, in the cutest way ever. "Anyway, get a chair, our current IT team sucks," Scott was not going to lie to fWhip and be completely honest about all his issues with the system that he was always told to send to IT who just ignored it. This time he was going to be heard.
And heard he was. By the time he was done, fWhip had a long list of things that could be improved and an even longer list of complaints to bring up with Sausage. "He might be an old friend but I'm not staying unless he lets me change some things. How can anyone work under those conditions?" fWhip huffed as they were wrapping up. Just in time for a late lunch. He was honestly pretty (and) cute when angry. Maybe if things didn't work out with Jimmy... Maybe. He didn't even know if fWhip would be interested or if he was into guys in general. But he could always try to be friends.
He really needed to check in on how things would go with Jimmy. Did he remember he left his guitar with Scott? He still had it, set up in the corner of his bedroom. At all not helping him move on even if he moved into a bigger and nicer apartment after his latest promotion. He still had several of Jimmy's things. Some of his old hoodies were probably Scott's most praised possessions. With Jimmy being considerably taller than him they were very comfy if he had to stay up and work on a boring project...
Not now. Now he had to get lunch and text Jimmy. Just so he knows Scott's not angry and willing to talk to him. And to know it's actually Jimmy's number...
*Hi Jim, it's Scott* he texted once he had his lunch all sorted out in a casual small restaurant next to the office building, great spot for lunch. He was absolutely not expecting Jimmy to answer anytime soon. Fully expecting blonde was busy with making great coffees. So imagine his shock when he did indeed get a text back.
*Lunch time in office world?* Jimmy's text asked.
*Yeah, late one, been talking to a new IT guy.* He missed texting Jimmy during his lunch breaks. But at the same time, he had no idea if it would be okay to ask Jimmy out... Not on like a date, not yet at least, just to meet up and catch up or something like that. *You free tonight? We could meet and catch up?" Screw it, he might as well ask and get it over with.
*Sure. Where?*
It was happening. *Eight by the coffee shop? I know a cool little restaurant not too far from there, no need to dress fancy* Was Scott as excited as when he was asking Jimmy out for their first date after living together for like two weeks in a college dorm? No. He was much more excited.
*It's a date then, gotta come back to work, see you at eight* Jimmy texted, as if that wasn't a big deal and the word 'date' wouldn't spin in his head for the rest of his work day. How was he supposed to finish his sandwiches and fries now? Was he supposed to be normal and professional and not like he was about to go on his first date ever with his crush? He did still like Jimmy a lot...
He should probably respond. "See ya then handsome ;)* he said, feeling himself blush a little.
Why was he acting like he was never on a date with Jimmy? They were and they kissed and all the more and... He was just excited to maybe have another chance with Jimmy. His new apartment had pretty good soundproofing and... He better not get his hopes up too much just yet. Now he needed to survive the rest of his work day. Quickly go home, change into something nice and casual and hopefully charm his way back into Jimmy's heart... Hopefully.

From the list that I made, trying to get my brain moving again lol
---
"Did you have to shock them that hard?!"
"Well sorry I wasn't expecting damn mechlings!"
"You are unbelievable."
"Oh shut up....you don't think they're spies, do you?"
"No way in Pit, but we'll have to see what the others say. If they are, then Sentinel is worse than we thought."
---
Elita-1 is the first one to come back online, helm aching something fierce as she sits up, wondering what in the Pit happened. She had been traveling with the others when...when...
"Oh, one of them is awake." Optics online in alarm, Elita-1 trying to scramble onto her pedes before a gentle but firm servo on her shoulder kept her down. "Hey, easy there femmling, you're going to purge if you stand up."
"Let me go, or I'm going to - oh." Elita-1 regretted pushing the gentle servo off her shoulder and getting to her knees, the world seemingly tilting to the right as she slapped a servo over her mouth. "I'm...going to sit still."
"She's got spark, I like her." Looking up, the former supervisor's mouth dropped open at the honest to Primus seekers standing before her. One of them was knelt beside D-16 with a scanner, clearly some sort of medic, giving a nasty glare to a nearby seeker who looked a bit guilty, and she figured he was the one to shock the four of them into stasis. Two others were standing nearby with an entire cube of energon in each servo, the closest flyer stepping closer and offering the cube with a slight bow, Elita-1 carefully grasping it after slowly moving to grab it.
"Drink it slowly, I am not cleaning up a mess." The seeker who had been touching her initially scowled, matching her glare without missing a beat. "Designation?"
"...Elita-1, and yours?" A mixture of annoyance and apathy crossed the other bots face for a moment, wings twitching before they let out a low vent.
"Starscream. Mind telling me why four younglings are running around on the surface, and if our readings are correct, four younglings who seemingly have only just transformed for the first time?" Starscream watched surprise cross Elita-1's face as she sipped her energon, and something coiled in his spark when he saw her forcibly stop herself from downing it all.
"We only received our cogs a few breems ago, from Alpha Trion."
"He's alive?!" Elita-1 jumped when all the optics in the room zeroed in on her, and the other seekers only remained still when Starscream let out a sharp whistle. "Where?"
"N-Not far from here, but we had to run from Sentinel's troops, they had us surrounded." The guilty-looking seeker quickly hurried out of sight when the medibots wings twitched, and she heard the sound of a few bots transforming barely a few seconds later, tearing across the sky and presumably towards the final resting place of the Primes. The room is silent as Elita-1 finishes her cube, setting it aside to look up at Starscream, who offers his servo after a moment to help her up and onto her pedes. "Thanks."
"I'm still waiting for my second answer." The femme shot him another glare, crossing her arms as the tri-colored seeker moved to check on B-127, who seemed to be coming around.
"We found a signal beacon, and Orion, the big lug on the floor there," Elita-1 pointed to the tallest bot still offline across the room, fighting back a smirk when one of the other bots chuckled. "decided we were perfect to go and look for the Matrix. And by we, he meant himself and the other two losers, who ended up dragging me along and..up here to the surface."
"Hmmm." The lead seeker poked at B-127 in silence, the gagged bot still mumbling despite clearly still offline. "This one doesn't stop."
"I don't know much about him. Apparently, he's been stuck on sub-level 50 for a long time, which I didn't even know we had that many levels."
"There's a lot you won't know, Sentinel would have made sure of that, the damned Pit spawn." Red optics glance over, and Starscream stood back up as D-16 started to come back online. "Tend to them, make sure they drink and take it slow." With that he strode out of the room, and Elita-1 sighed as the silver bot tried to sit up the same way she did, groaning when his body protested.
"Easy guys..."
Half a breem and full energon cubes for everyone later, Starscream returned with two bots behind him, the three seekers who had been answering questions standing at attention.
"I see we're all awake." Starscream didn't seem phased when the silver bot put himself between Elita-1 and the yellow bot, the one called Orion standing at his side and tense, one wing flicking at the blue bot at his side. "Scan them."
"Scanning electrical impulses." Blue wavering rings seemed to come from his vocalizer a moment later, and the four miners shivered at the EMF field that washed over them, probing at parts of their minds as if it had always been there. "Deception unlikely."
"W-What did you do to us?" Orion stammered when the rings faded, shifting a little closer to D-16 as the leader regarded him with faint interest. "We mean no harm."
"Harm? From mechlings? Unlikely." The purple bot with one optic scoffed, sounding amused more than anything. "I'm still shocked you weren't torn apart by the Quintessons."
"We were close, but their scanners can't penetrate buildings! But enough about that, you guys are the freaking Cybertronian High Guard, I thought you were all dead! Still can't believe that we're actually talking to you guys, I've read all about you!"
"B, take a second and calm down." Orion rolled his optics, the yellow bot practically vibrating in place as the older bots looked on in faint amusement.
"How am I supposed to calm down when we have some of the greatest warriors in Cybertronian history right in front of us!? Look look, that's Starscream, Shockwave, and Soundwave! These guys are the best warriors ever, trained by the 13 Primes themselves!"
"The little yellow one is correct." The seeker preened a little, surprised that there was anything left behind to learn about them. "Elita-1 told us why you were on the surface, and now I want to know your next move."
"To get back to Iacon." The silver mech spoke, keeping his optics locked onto the seekers as he sneered. "I'm going to make Sentinel pay for what he's done, and kill him once the entire city knows that he's nothing but scum."
"I see." Shockwave narrowed his optic slightly. "You'll do that how, exactly? Your weapon systems aren't even fully online, and Sentinel is powered by the cog of Megatronus himself."
"I don't care, it ends today." The silver mech snarled, stepping forward while slamming a fist into his palm. "No one, not even you supposedly famous guardsmechs, are going to get in my way."
"Or, you can be smarter than that insane Pit spawn." Starscream clicked at the two behind him, and both Shockwave and Soundwave moved to join the younger mechs. "Stupidity will only get you killed."
"I'm supposed to listen from a coward who's been fighting at Sentinel from the shadows? Someone who plays the king of the roost instead of actually fragging stopping Sentinel?!" D-16 readied himself to fight, only to stop when Starscream began to laugh, stance subtly shifting.
"Get past me, and you can go on your suicide run, young mechling. Otherwise, you stay and at least train for a solar cycle." D-16 stared at the elder bot before launching forward with an angered cry, slamming into the jet as he punched at his face plate. The punch was entirely directed away with a flick of Starscream's servo, jets on the bottom of his pedes helping give Starscream leverage to launch D-16 into the air, not even able to blink when the seeker seemed to teleport, slamming him into the nearest wall. D-16 tried to push himself away, but found one arm twisted behind his back and his helm yanked back to show his neck wiring, Starscream leaning close with a growl. "Yield?"
"I'll never yield." D-16 snarled, only to be caught off guard when he's suddenly falling onto his aft, the seeker slamming his pede onto his chest and pinning him on the ground.
"Good, you'll need that anger." After keeping D-16 down for a few seconds, Starscream pulled back and offered a servo, hauling the bot up and onto his pedes. "It's going to be a vicious fight."
"...I guess some training won't hurt." The silver mech grumbled, Orion hurrying over with concern as Elita-1 started to yell at Starscream, B-127 just watching everything going on with wide optics.
Not the turn he expected, but D-16 could work with this.

Maybe you've done it already and I missed it, but what would Gabriel's two-week-notice look like in the Ultradanse AU?
This has nothing to do with any other comments you have made about feral Gabriel or any other desire to see how he changes from The Gilded Nightingale to The Nightingale.
:3c. OOOHH. WELL
ive been really trying to think about that hard, since comparing the characters to those in fairytales and ballets tended to skew the story a bit.
and uh... my descriptions wont be the best.. im not the best at explaining things in ballet terms moreso just based on my perception of the art form and what i see in it through my eyes.
also im gonna go off of the concept that ultradanse is almost like a stage performance, a show
the most i can do to describe how it looks is to compare it to my vision for the first encounter with Odile/V1... because of the way i designed his lil costume he has a sort of princely look, and even though hes yknow. out to kill V1 because V1 traversed past his warnings, his dancing with V1 then is much more... poised. it might feel a bit distant, maybe it might even seem like hes unsatisfied doing it, as at the time there is no personal connection with V1, no love nor hatred. its not romantic, hardly so. i dont know if this is a good example, but i was thinking abt Prince Siegfried's dancing in Waltz: Tempo di valse...
once V1 is pretty much responsible for his 2-week notice, i like to think Nightingale/Gabriel starts to match V1's high energy, his grace is kinda going out the window... itd be much more intense. if its a pas de deux hes probably getting his fucking hands all over them like hes about to tear them apart. hes abandoning that princely facade. i feel like though in the second half a pas de deux between them would make them slow their pace. now that both of them are dancing together and able to match intensity, it starts to slow down into something more... romantic? yeah :3 i like to think this, this is where any romantic tension starts
now about how he changes from the gilded nightingale to the nightingale. you see... after their second encounter, Gabriel is convinced hes going to die, after all thats what he was told. once he returns from heaven, he seeks out V1 to ask of one final request. he doesn't want to die lonely, and asks V1 to dance with him until the final hour runs out. V1 has no reason to accept his request, other than something pulling at it do so and the possibility it could take a little bit more blood before he's gone. dancing together, progressively Gabriel becomes weaker and weaker.
i REALLY wanted to keep this secret for a scene i wanted to draw but honeeesttlyyyy i dont think its too bad if i share it. after all, im not sharing V1's feelings here. im sharing Gabriel's :3
i had this whole.. plan
my thing abt pas de deuxs is that. i like to find symbolism in the fact that traditionally, the male dancer is supposed to support the ballerina to be able to perform moves she typically wouldnt be able to on her own without someone holding her.
towards the end of their dance, V1 switches positions to hold and uplift Gabriel instead, who has this entire time been in the place of the male dancer. in his approaching final moments V1 lays him down on the ground. he's hardly moving, and V1 holds onto him, finding itself not wanting him to just... disappear.
now im still figuring out HOW i want this to work. but i thought abt V1 in desperation, grasping onto the sides of his helmet and ripping his helmet in half being the symbolic thing that sets him free. the thing about the gilded nightingale, is that the armor is the bird's cage. Gabriel's design in this AU only really has the helmet and no other armor, so it just... makes sense to me. this is what sets him free. how the transformation works though? i am.. still thinking about it. you might need to give me a bit to think about that
#im trying not to make that transformation magical girl esque LMAO BUT ITS SO HARD NOT TOOOOO#.txt#ask#sorry for rambling meoww#ultradanse au#crazy? i was crazy once#im considering redesigning ultradanse gabe a little again im not sure why

You're looking a little tangled up there, Bolt!
Decided to fill out the questionare that’s been going around the @sonic-oc-showdown!
Name: Bolt the Cyber Cheetah
Species: Asiatic Cheetah (and also cyborg)
Type: Speed
Alignment: Neutral Good
Home: Sol Empire
The rest under the cut! 👇
✨ - How did you come up with the OC’s name?
I didn’t! Bolt originally belonged to my partner Zed! He was a recolor/edit of one of those Sonic character bases you find on DeviantArt lol. He originally had, and still has, electricity powers-- he’s also related to Blaze, and 5th grade Zed wanted a B name, hence Bolt! He also tends to “bolt” off a lot, haha.
I’m the one who made him a cheetah, though. Bolt used to be just a regular old cat. But then I thought “hm, y’know for a series about a fast hedgehog, there is the striking lack of the cheetah rival” so I made him a cheetah! An Asiatic cheetah specifically, since Blaze is Indian-coded! The Asiatic cheetah is dying out :( There are only 12 Asiatic cheetahs left in the whole world as of writing this :(( It’s so sad :(((
(A cheetah in Iran. Source: Wikipedia)
🌼 - How old are they? (Or approximate age range)
Bolt is 18 years old!
🌺 - Do they have any love interest(s)?
Yes! Bolt has a girlfriend named Chilli, who’s a Chocolate Labrador! They met in junior year high school and are T4T ❤ Don’t ask him how he scored, he doesn’t know either.
🍕 - What is their favorite food?
I don’t know! Since he’s so anxious all the time, probably warm and filling foods, like soup! Since he’s 90% robot, though, he doesn’t really need to eat. He’s powered by his own electricity!
💼 - What do they do for a living?
Bolt does a variety of odd jobs to pay rent. He usually works as a living battery for a lot of people, though, restarting grids and charging people’s phones for a dollar.
🎹 - Do they have any hobbies?
Bolt has a lot of hobbies, usually ones that keep him calm. Visiting museums, going on long walks in nature, anything that handles weaving like crocheting or knitting or plush making... he made his jacket himself!
🎯 - What do they do best?
Worry. And cry.
🥊 - What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?
Bolt loves engaging in his hobbies and hanging out with his girlfriend, Chilli :)
Oh boy does he hate a lot of things. Many things stress him out. Watching a scary movie, trying something new, talking to people who aren’t his usual friend group, loud concerts, big crowds, whatever new adventure Blaze inadvertently drags him into this time, etc etc.
❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?
Going to see the stars with his girlfriend for the first time.
✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?
Getting kidnapped and roboticized, easy. And [SPOILERS FOR THE UNDEVELOPED AND UNRELEASED FANGAME SONIC RUSH: LIGHTNING SPEED].
🧊 - Is their current design the first one?
Nope! Bolt went through sooo many designs. I’m still figuring him out. Every new drawing of him looks different. I feel like I’m getting close, though!
🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?
Zed wanted to make a cool elemental Sonic kitty ala Blaze. Then I basically took him and transformed him completely. At first he was gonna be another cocky Sonic rival, since I’ve always imagined a cheetah rival for Sonic, but then I was like “hmm, he has a lot of those already... not very unique...” and then I remembered @/thehydroxian-art-blog’s Jeff the Imperfect Shadow Android and though “Ah! I shall make him pathetic. And also a robot.” And thus the current version of Bolt was born!
🌂 - What genre do they belong in?
A sci-fi action comedy film, for sure!
💚 - What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality?
Bolt is a trans man, he/him pronouns, bisexual. That yellow chestplate you see was originally a binder before it got welded into his body by the roboticization machine!
🙌 - How many siblings does your OC have?
None so far! He’s an only child! He does have his cousin, Blaze, though. Which technically makes him royalty. He doesn’t really live like royalty, though... or know that he’s royalty in the first place.
🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?
They kinda just peaced out after Bolt graduated from high school. They weren’t particularly close with Bolt, and vice versa. They lowkey wanted nothing to do with him...
✏️ - How often do you draw/write about the OC?
A decent amount! A member in a Sonic server I’m in asks all sorts of prompt questions about other people’s OCs and I love answering them! It’s really helped me develop not just Bolt, but my other OCs such as Faye Moreau, Seafoam the Sailfish, Charlotte Webb, Chaos Clown, Ms. Host, Cabinet Man, and even Kryztal!
💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?
Nah, not really.
💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?
Yes. Too many to list, though. He’s practically afraid of everything.
🍩 - Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?
Blaze is kiiinda his rival, but saying that is kind of a stretch. He’s an alright rival to Sonic when the hog visits, though.
🎓 - How long have you had the OC?
I don’t quite remember. A few months at least. Maybe even a year.
This one is something I came up with myself:
💥 - What are your OC’s powers, if they have any?
Bolt can channel and manipulate electricity! He can also shapeshift his mechanical body into various weapons like energy cannons, guns, and blades! His tail stretch out really far, and manifest temporary platforms!
Aaand that should do it! Hoo, that was a lot of questions! It was fun!!!

Why Am I The Last To Notice That Soundwave (from EarthSpark) Has Large-Hips...?
[Note: Don’t Reblog This Without Permission]
I can’t help but have the word “Mom-Hips” pop into my head when finally noticing how large Soundwave’s (from EarthSpark) hips are....
okay even though not everyone who has such large hips, will automatically be a “Mom” but after seeing some fan art of Soundwave from EarthSpark, and then I had to double check from a image of Soundwave from the show to see if his hips are in fact like that........and well, it seems to be true.
why is it I’m the last one to finally notice this, even if I did see the episode but this....oh my gosh, the whole “Mom-Hips” comes to mind and I know that is just me being weird, and well I can’t help but view TFA-Soudwave as not being 100% the same as the Original Soundwaves like from TF-G1, TFP and even Earthspark, because TFA-Soundwave is more of a Soundwave Jr. to me now, like Soundwave Sr. could be like a Dad figure to him....
wouldn’t be surprised if Megatron based Soundwave Jr. on a Decepticon he use to know who had the same name as him, like some of Soundwave Jr.’s blueprint designs being based on the Original Soundwave, and the Original one could look like a TFA version of the Soundwave from TFP...
well Soundwave from TF-G1 and TF-Earthspark, is technically Frenzy, Rumble, Laserbeak and Ravage’s Dad/Sire...
and given how the IDW had made Scorponok the whole Fanon “Carrier” into Canon....
seriously, I can’t be the only one who had figured out that even if I had to look it up and find it out myself and sometime I need to read the full comic sometime...
that Scorponok had just made the fanon into canon, the Transformers becoming Carriers has become canon, I repeat, it has become canon people, this is not a drill! XD
well at least Soundwave doesn’t have to worry about some people pointing out how big his aft is, I mean that can be a bit embarrassing to some who don’t want it be point out.....it’s one thing when it happens in a fictional movie or show or a book, but it happening in real life can probably be real life embarrassing...
it’s like even if I did end up losing a lot of weight thanks to that first depression that happen in 2015, why couldn’t I.......no, never mind...forget it...
but the point being it might be possible that some Mech and Femme will have large hips, that I guess could be seen as “Caretaker Hips”...
Scorponok has already made the whole “Carrier” thing canon, so we know the hatchling/sparklings will be carried and be visible by the chest area of the Cybertronian...thanks to Scorponok....who shouldn’t be confused with the one from Beast Wars.
and of course the thing that pops in my head, after finally realizing and noticing that Soundwave from EarthSpark has large hips, is that the whole he has “Mom-Hips”.........which once again, I know not everyone who has large hips are automatically Moms.......but it fits Soundwave, since his technically a parent.
a Caretaker in theory, is the Sire/Dad or Carer/Mom who takes care of the young ones, like the hatchlings or cassettes.
while their life-partner is off at work, and if they both have work, then the Caretaker will find someone to babysit, but they are still the Caretaker.
no matter if they are the Mentor, Sire or Carer.
and yes I am very much aware it’s weird to view Soundwave having “Mom-Hips” I’m weird enough to have that thought pop into my head...XD
I already talked about in another post on my view on Megatron and Optimus from EarthSpark, technically being Eon-Boomers.
and don’t misinterpret the whole “Mom-Hips” thing, like I had pointed out before.
I don’t like it when some of the things I say gets misinterpreted in a very wrong way....and depending on how it is, there can be hurt feelings on both sides.
which is why I want to try a bit better to make sure my words don’t get misinterpreted....at least I am trying to.
well my having the whole “Mom-Hips” pop into my head when finally realizing that Soundwave from EarthSpark has large hips...
isn’t the weirdest thing to pop into my head...
that would be calling Optimus from EarthSpark, a Himbo Prime.
and maybe me calling Megatron from EarthSpark, a Sweetie Energon-Pie.

Super Freak, He's Super Freaky!
And we’re back! Greetings and welcome back to “It Came From The Toy Box,” where we look at different toys on the market! Yes, I know it’s been a while. My computer kinda sorta died and it took a while to get a new one, but I did, so now I can finally get back to doing this blog. That being said, let’s get to it. I’ve been wanting to talk about some toys from a movie that came out recently for a while now, and they’re still on the market, so for the next few weeks, we’re looking at some of the figures for the movie “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.” So this week, we’re looking at “Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Superfly!” Should this bug infest your collection? Let’s find out!
I never got the chance to see “Mutant Mayhem,” due to a lot of life stuff that came up, which means I can’t actually put spoilers in this review since I don’t know any. That being said, here’s what I do know: “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” is the latest installment of the classic “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” franchise, was released in August of this year (2023, in case you’re reading this in the future), and introduces the turtles as a group of young teens hoping to find acceptance in the world.
The subject of today’s review, Superfly, is the main antagonist of the film. As I haven’t seen the movie, I’m not gonna go too much into who he is, but I can provide some background info on where he came from. In the original Ninja Turtles cartoon of the late 80’s-early 90’s, which was based on a surprisingly dark comic book series, Baxter Stockman was a hapless scientist who, after failing to sell his inventions, was recruited by the evil Shredder to be his personal tech guy. After some defeats at the hands of the turtles, Stockman was eventually transformed into a fly mutant and driven completely insane, as tends to be the case with people turned into fly mutants. Remember kids, if he’s got bug eyes, bug wings, and some extra limbs, odds are he’s not well. Superfly’s whole look and status as a fly mutant villain is taken from this version of Stockman, though I’ve got no idea if they’re the same dude in this version, since I’ve been avoiding spoilers.
In Soviet Russia, fly swats YOU!
The figure himself looks great. Like, I really love the look of this toy and have zero complaints. I absolutely love the torn clothing he wears, and extra details like his left foot bursting out of a sneaker really show the love that got put into designing this figure. I’m also a big fan of the torn up shirt and sweater vest, and the comically ill-fitting tie. It has an air of trying to seem human, but rejecting it in the end. Honestly, it gives me peak “I was once a man” vibes. I also really like the head sculpt on Superfly. Despite the general lack of human facial structure in it, he still manages to have an angry expression, and one gets the impression he’s cocking an eyebrow, if he had eyebrows. It’s a really expressive face for a bug. I’m also a fan of Superfly’s two extra arms at his waist. They’re tiny and can’t hold anything, but I really feel like they’re a nice touch that adds something fun and gross to his whole look. Superfly’s a bit physically lopsided, as you can tell by using your damned human eyes to gaze upon his visage. One arm’s a regular, though blue, arm that can hold his accessories. The other’s a massive, bulky claw arm that looks like it packs a hell of a punch. It’s a cool addition that shows that this guy’s able to throw hands, and I like that it suggests that Superfly’s mutation wasn’t exactly a controlled, successful one. Something very much did not go right when this dude was created. I’m also a fan of his translucent bug wings. They’re not comically small, and they’re not so big that they take away from his own stuff. They’re a nice, medium size.
In terms of articulation, Superfly’s pretty great. He’s got articulated shoulders, thighs, knees, and a neck and left elbow, which all adds up to a surprisingly articulated figure. His two little arms aren’t articulated, but I’m actually fine with that. Really small joints, like the kind those arms would need, tend to become looser easier. My one complaint is that his large, right claw isn’t articulated. I feel like the designers missed an opportunity there, and it also only gives him one hand to hold things with.
"Have you ever heard of insect politics? Neither have I. Insects... don't have politics."
I also really like how balanced this figure is. His insect feet give him a high degree of balance, making up for any issues caused by his huge torso, though his large right arm can cause him to tilt or lean, so watch out for that. Now, earlier, I mentioned that Superfly’s left foot is bursting out of a shoe. The way the shoe’s positioned on his leg, it actually helps balance him. I feel like that’s a really nice touch.
Superfly comes with action packed Male Pattern Baldness!
Superfly, like any good Ninja Turtle toy, comes with a variety of accessories. What I really love is that most of those accessories come attached to a sprue, just like the original toys from the 80’s. In fact, a lot of the accessories are similar to the ones included with the original Baxter Stockman fly. His main accessory, though, is a ray-gun that he can hold in his left hand. It’s both not attached to the sprue and has more paint used on it than the other accessories. Superfly’s wings also come as an accessory and are not attached to the figure. Instead, they must be pegged into his back, which is fine since the connection’s a strong one, so you don’t need to worry about the wings falling off. What’s weird, though, is that one of Superfly’s four wings is actually separate from the other three. It has to be attached to the rest of the wings before they’re attached to the bug himself. Maybe this made packaging him easier? It’s just a bit odd to me. Unfortunately, the way that one wing comes detached means it comes off easier than the other wings. Keep an eye on it, because it does want to come off, so you’ll need to keep pushing it back in as you play with the figure. It’s the one big weakness of an otherwise solid toy.
No, that wing isn't broken. Yes, I checked. No, I didn't break this toy right out of the box and then spin an elaborate lie to cover my ass. It's just a weird design choice.
“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Superfly” currently goes for about $10 at mass retail, which, considering the rising prices of toys, is a terrific deal. He, like the rest of the “Mutant Mayhem” mainline of toys, is aimed at ages 4+, which is a good age for him just so long as you make sure nobody’s still in that “put the small thing in my mouth” stage. And now, the moment of truth: would I recommend this toy? Oh, absolutely. He’s a well-articulated figure with fun accessories and really good detailing, and, aside from the issue with that one wing, he’s really fun to play with. TMNT fans of all ages will definitely like this guy, so I’d say to go grab him as soon as possible. Next week, we’ll be continuing our look at the “Mutant Mayhem” figures with another baddie, so I’ll see you then! This is JS signing off and wishing you Happy Toy Hunting!

Random TF brainworms
Other TF prompts that have been rattling around in my brain the past year(s), mostly franchise-based:
Slime Rancher 2 - With all the weird future/alien mystery science going on, it's prime free TF-estate. And c'mon, there is NO way Viktor Humphries wouldn't have a way to splice slime DNA for science. A cotton slime-ified Gaius would be so stinking cute.
Speaking of slimes, I was definitely on a slime kick -
Stardew Valley - Basically, story involving getting caught on the wrong end of the witch's temper while cave-delving, and getting a good old fashioned slow-burn curse transforming poor farmer Gaius into a slime. Also plays into my favorite trope of trying to keep the changes hidden - as patches of blue ooze-y spots form around his mid section, he tries to wrap them with cloth to keep it from saturating into his shirt. Plastic wrap is also attempted. Too much clothing is worn during the summer. Hats to cover hair that's more like a jello mold. Close friends who discover the secret using a wheelbarrow to haul the poor unconscious slime-guy home before he puddles all over the Halloween party. Figuring out how to maintain a solid enough form to wear clothes, use tools, etc.
BIG OL FFXIV SHADOWBRINGERS/ENDWALKER SPOILERS BEYOND HERE
FFXIV - Aaaaa there's so much I want to draw and design properly.
The whole light corruption/lightwarden arc of Shadowbringers was absolutely my jam, complete with soul-cracking strain and coughing up light gunk. I'm still not satisfied with my first take on Gaius's lightwarden form. The rough mental concepts: Large and bulky, like Zinogre from MHW. Maybe a semi-quadriped. Hooves on the rear feet. Wings for sure, white mane, gold horns. Blend bull and lion and other creatures.
The thing is I really want to bring a lasting physical representation of the corruption to Gaius's current form. I'm struggling with how to do that. Lots of other WoLs changed their hair white after the events of ShB, but that doesn't fit Gaius. I've been playing with the idea of a glowing scar of some sort, like markings on his neck or maybe chest that he keeps covered. I love using the bandana in his regular fashions and could be a fun way to tie it into his lore.
Throwing in my hella-old Zinogre doodles because I want to capture some of that mid-way feature goodness with Gaius's light corruption.
The whole journey of Shadowbringers is such prime real estate for transformation trauma - budding horns, patches of skin/fur bleaching out, those random soul-crunching episodes as a little more light escapes and furthers the process... All the while having to keep moving forward, despite the quest literally eating him. The other fun part with going sineater is the invisible changes, like a growing craving for aether, and losing the clarity of other senses like physical touch and taste. Gaius's character has always been a boisterous lover of food with a bottomless appetite. It's part of his love language - he makes sure his friends are well fed with snacks and home-made meals. This is something Minfilia/Ryne gets to experience intensely as he does his best to make sure the young girl is well nourished through their travels, and as a way to include her in the family.
There is a whole comic I will probably never get around to drawing, highlighting group meals along their journey - Gaius sharing his travel snacks in Il Mheg, getting her to join them for drinks and a big meal in the Crystarium, forcing a second helping of stew on her in Rak'tika with Runar. But then it comes to a small camp in the Tempest as the Scions overlook the skyline of Amaurot, one last rest before they venture into the final leg of their journey. Ryne is the one who brings a bowl of soup to Gaius, who is sitting apart from the others. The man is already showing extreme lightwarden features which have been spreading since the episode on Mt. Gulg. "I brought you some soup. To keep your strength up," she offers. He turns his one still-blue eye to her and smiles sadly. "Thanks, but I'm not hungry." He wishes he was. He wishes he could still taste anything. He wishes food didn't sit like a rock in his stomach. The look of grief and pity on Ryne's face is obvious.
Just, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. *rolls around in traumatizing-OCs-for-fun brainworms*
I want to tie the whole light corruption in with Gaius's struggle with his Inner Release beast - probably the best and terrible example I could give of what's in my brain is like how Naruto has the fox spirit sealed inside him. Inner Release is a whole other monster or side of Gaius that he harnesses for power, but not without risk of losing himself to it. Like something during the post-ARR banquet breaks it and that's why he takes up Samurai during HW, as a way to learn to control himself with discipline, meditation, and patience. The whole lightwarden thing either corrupts or fuses with his inner release, and maybe he still manifests some features while he's berserking, like vestigial horns and spikes. IDK, still playing around with that. I do think he keeps his hair longer to cover the small gold horns left over from his light corruption, along with whatever other scarring I settle on. Trying to distance himself from the 'beast' is a big long part of Gaius's struggle through FFXIV.
AND AND. I THINK ZENOS GOT TO FIGHT FULL-ON LIGHT INNER RELEASE BEAST GAIUS AT THE VERY END. Where Gaius finally let's himself fully sink into the pit and embrace everything he's kept buried away, that even he is too afraid to acknowledge. Accepting Zenos also includes accepting the entirety of himself, beast and all. Fray would be proud.

Building OC's is so fun ❤️🔥 I'm still dreaming up the full character design for my girl, but this song made something finally click!!! Prime in Disguise Bumblebee's "leitmotif (of sorts)"* in my mind has long been chiptune, inspired by his vocoder in Prime. I can't fully describe the surreal feel of chiptune, but to me, the low, vacillating resonance coupled with the higher, merry melody capture his character so well. If you want to get the feel for it, I think it is best heard in "Halcyon" by Owl City (which I hear as Bumblebee's teenage arc) and "Focus" by Chipzel (which I hear as Bumblebee's young adult arc). *(I know "leitmotif" is not the correct term; really, what I truly speak of simply the voice of an instrument, but the term "leitmotif" is close enough to conveying what I wish, so I use it as shorthand. Music theory people, don't get mad at me; I'm using this term wrong on PURPOSE) So what does this song ^ have to do with anything? "Our Hearts Collide" by iamsleepless has been circulating my playlists for a bit now, inspiring me to write the scene(s) ;) where Bumblebee first meets this unknown sparkling and subsequently chooses to open his spark to her. I always loved the music, but today it finally hit me why it's so special.
It combines Bumblebee's "leitmotif" with hers!!! I didn't know my little sparkling even had a "leitmotif" (of sorts), but hearing it now in a new light, I can see how it connects to her character design! And it's inspiring me to design her bot mode! Yay! :D I don't even know the proper name for this instrument voice, but the best way I can describe it is: "It's Owl City's." You hear it all across his albums; it's instantly recognizable even if it is indescribable. It dances up and down across the background delightfully in his newest cover, "Gone." (You can hear it whistle at 1:06, and swing back and forth at 3:42, most strongly.) Anyway, this instrument's voice is notably higher, softer, and more whimsical than the deeper, earthy, almost vibrating chiptune voice that I associate with Bumblebee; but it doesn't clash with it. The way I hear it, the sparkling's musical voice laughs and soars like a cirrus cloud drifting the open sky, while Bumblebee's musical voice rumbles like pavement shaken up by miles of cars zooming over open road...but the instruments actually blend well together. And that brings me back to "Our Hearts Collide." The song starts with something more earthy, an instrument closer to what I hear as Bumblebee's musical voice. But, faint in the background are the soft, higher notes. Her musical voice. A whisper of what's to come. Then, at :44, that looping melody ends and a beeping one sets in. Like a passcode being entered into a keypad. Bumblebee's spark has a lock on the door, so not just anyone can get in. At :59, the "beeping" deepens; the electronic button pressing gets louder. Like someone is knocking on the door of Bumblebee's spark, demanding entry...and she just figured out the code. At 1:14, the original melody returns, as if all is normal...but then...at 1:43...the melody transforms. Higher, softer, more whimsical notes flit around and around, completely altering the song as we know it! (If that isn't my sparkling, I don't know what is!) ✨ This even happens halfway through the song! A crucial turning point! At 1:58, lower notes (more like Bumblebee's chiptune) of a differing melody take center stage, circling anxiously, as if trying to rediscover the original melody. As if trying to remember who they are. All anxiety fades out at 2:27; and there...there, the original song returns. The original melody dances again. Bumblebee has found his spark is intact...but someone has left her mark on it. At 2:57, her voice returns. 💙 This melody no longer feels out of place, because we have heard it before. At 3:13, the little sparkling's musical voice dances alongside the passcode beeping we heard before. Now, instead of the little sparkling frantically pressing the buttons, trying to crack the code to get in...now, Bumblebee is resetting the passcode himself, and the keypad beeps not to keep her out of his spark...but to seal her in there forever, as their hearts collide. T-T IT'S SO GOOD!!! Not only do the "leitmotifs (of sorts)" aka musical voices fit my characters perfectly...but this song is so well-crafted that even if I had no characters to associate with it, if I listened closely, I could hear the story in the music itself. I'm very impressed with the artist for their musical storytelling. Anyway, I am very excited about this for my story and my girl! I understand her character design more now that I know what her musical voice is! I'm so excited to design her bot mode and try to capture her character just right. Can't wait to share her story someday <3 Oh my goodness, and now I am thinking about how some clouds really are like tire tracks in the sky. That's such good symbolism for her character T-T but I can't talk about it because SPOILERS

I haven’t been paying much attention to Legacy toys atm because it’s hard for me to become invested in a toy line that has no proper media to tell a story. There was an attempt at a Netflix series pitch but it was rejected, and probably for the best at that.
But one thing caught my eye in a round of leaks: The Star Seekers.
The Star Seekers are a mostly scrapped concept that originated with Transformers Prime. A band of pirate Transformers, they were led by the lion Thundertron, and had an unspecified vendetta against Cybertron. The group was teased in tie in novels to the Aligned Continuity, and they were planned to feature in Prime as a third party antagonist later on in the show. However, plans changed, with Prime quickly proving to be a financial disaster, and the concept was abruptly scrapped and replaced with the awkwardly implemented Beast Hunters line featuring the new third party antagonistic Predacons led by Predaking. Despite this, a toy of the pirate leader Thundertron made it out on to shelves, possibly being too late in production to cancel him making him a unique toy only character anomaly.
The Star Seekers got one more hurrah in convention exclusive comics, instead being led by Cannnonball and having the likes of Scorponok in their ranks. Their biggest role was trying to plunder a post Beast Machines Cybertron, only to find the techno-organic planet didn’t produce Energon anymore leaving the pirates high and dry.
After that nothing. I never understood why they didn’t revive the faction for RiD15. Could’ve even had a cute Thundercats theme if they had fun with casting: Will Friedel (Bee/new Lion-O) opposite Larry Kenny (old Lion-O/Clawdius/Thundertron) again.
I feel like the Star Seekers would’ve been in Cyberverse too, possibly filling the Mercenaries role since the show made them into pirates rather than guns for hire.
Now after having fallen into obscurity, and getting a couple of con exclusive toys, the Star Seekers appear to be making a comeback in the third iteration of Legacy. Presumably had the plans for Prime continued we would’ve had other Seeker members besides Thundertron. The group in Prime related material are suggested to have been possibly animal themed, presumably to explain why Thundertron was a beast, however it seems the intent was they represent the different 13 Primes and related colonies. Though Oynx Prime seems to have had some dominance going by the common mention of Beast type Transformers in the ranks.
Anyway, in Legacy, Thundertron makes his return. Accompanying him are crew members none of us expected. First is technically a return, Ferak, a Marvel generic Decepticon who has since become an easy Cyclonus recolor. He served the Star Seekers in comic con exclusive material. Next is Filch, presumably the RiD15 Corvicon. She would excel as a pirate given her kleptomania. Next we have Lockdown, the ever popular Animated bounty hunter. He’s been written more recently as belonging to the Mercenaries, but I suppose someone figured he’d be a good pirate because of his hook arm, and his tendency to pillage other Transformers for their body parts. A less significant but still concerning member is Road Pig, formerly a G2 motorcycle Decepticon. Some recent media depicts him as being from Velocitron, but that’s not saying much.
Still Road Pig fuels a thought the Star Seekers will be MORE repaints… Road Pig likely will be another character recolored from Prime Arcee, as was his fellow G2 mates Road Rocket and Laser Cycle. It’s been said Lockdown will come about from a new Junkion that was released, and, assuming Thundertron doesn’t get a new version of his Prime design, he’ll likely be a repaint/retool of Lio Convoy, who got a repaint in Copy Convoy/Nemesis Lio. The only half way exception I could see is if Thundertron was a LeoBreaker pretool, since the two do look similar. Ferak will be a Kingdom Cyclonus repaint easy… unless they attempt to make a toy of his original Marvel design, but I suspect Ferak was chosen at all so they could repaint Cyclonus again. Filch is in a unique position. They could just make a toy based on her RiD design, but she’ll probably be a retool of Kingdom Airrazor/Terrorsaur. A unique halfway here could be she’s retooled from EarthSpark Nightshade, as the owl’s robot mode is more visually closer to Filch’s.
In terms of potential fiction. Their role in Prime was aborted and it’s not super clear what their beef was with Cybertron, but it’s possibly related to Cybertron cutting off ties with colony planets due to Cosmic Rust and/or residual Great War damage if I had to guess. I could see future roles cast them more akin to the RiD15 Scavengers, collecting left over war machines for their benefit, which in this case is amassing enough fire power to land an assault against Cybertron. Legacy’s failed Netflix pitch was said to involve Jhiaxus as the main villain, in a Thanos style role. Transmetal 2 Megatron was among the other villains, and while not written with them in mind, I could see the Star Seekers in a minor WFC Mercenary type role here. However Legacy, intentional or not, suits Jhiaxus’ schemes better, and we just got toys of his gnarly G2 Decepticons, who function as perfect BM/Prime Vehicon cannon fodder in a cartoon setting. Pending Skybound, the only other place for the Star Seekers could be EarthSpark. They fit in nicely with the distrust of Cybertronians, and probably would view the Terrans as brainwashed underlings of the Autobots and Decepticons, wanting them to join their side in their crusade against Cybertron. With the potential for another relic quest, you could have the Star Seekers be hunting for the weapons of the 13 Primes to use against Earth/Cybertron, with the Autobots and Terrans trying to find them first. There’s defiantly a fun call back to Prime with Thundertron using the Dark Star Saber (Nemesis Saber?) and Twitch Obari Posing with the Star Saber.

[Video ID: Gorg, a tall blue mech, runs forward brandishing the blunt grip end of his tank gun. He lifts the whole long gun upwards by the barrel before striking down on the top of a tank. The original sound of the tank being hit is replaced with a coconut bonk stock sound. End ID.]
Always Gorgin' time at Mox(ter)'s
Mox(ter) reporting. Firm believer that Pink Lady apples are superior to Honeycrisp. These are some things you might want to know. Or not, your choice ┐(´ー`)┌
Things that keep me up at night:
The camaraderie of the Autobots in Armada.
This loser
How some versions of Ironfist are supposed to sound Aussie. Try rereading Last Stand of the Wreckers like that.
Tokyo Ska dropping a new song.
Trying to make up transforming figures in my head that don't exist for certain characters and getting annoyed the next morning. Only thing stopping me is lack of access to a resin printer.
I am Mox/Moxter and have been a bot nerd since I was an anklebiter. Mostly gung-ho about other stuff like practical effects, costuming, figures/models, 3D modelling, old tech, lizards, and birding. I do art a little too, but I’m not too fond of the idea of putting it out on here quite yet.
Couple years of Spanish under my belt but also picking up and learning bits of Japanese and Welsh when I can. Considering others like Yoruba and Korean for in the future, but sadly I suck sometimes and can be a slow learner. Someday, I guess. I apologize beforehand if you see my dumb ass getting long-winded about Tailgate (full reason being too long to explain here).
I’m generally invested into anything related to toy design—mostly TakaraTomy, HasTak, and Sunrise bot stuff is my focus though. I am hooked on the design development surrounding Binaltech and Alternators for better or worse.
And wouldn't you know, a bunch of car robots helped me to realize what I should re-prioritize my career track to be. That's the power of my dumb interests at work ( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧.
Got tired of updating which music artists I like at the moment, but I tend to stick to ELO, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, hip hop, rock, metal, J-punk, ska, funk, and EDM. Q-Tip and A Tribe Called Quest are great too. I don’t mind getting music recs.
Delighted owner to my little shit of a gecko. A lot of what I reblog is aesthetic posts, robotic nonsense, and other things. If you want to go ahead and block some of my tags, I’ve got a list of them linked in my pinned post. I try to put alt text in the majority of images I upload. May need a poke on that though once in a while because I can’t remember everything.
Sometimes there's 18+ content though that's once in a blue moon and it gets tagged. Block the tag if you need to. Also be normal about bi and pan people, or I'm conking you on the head.
Please do not ask me my pronouns. Like sorry, but I don’t know you. Just use my name and no they/them-ing me if we aren't all too familiar. That's all I ask.
Don’t be stupidly obnoxious around here; shit-stirrers get Gorg'd:
