my opinions on earthspark S2(at the moment) and ideas that I’ve had

so yeah I can’t get over the starscream thing so I might rant again in this one but yeah whatever

⚠️spoilers under the cut!⚠️

so I feel like they kinda lost the Og premise because hasbro wanted to do the same thing again.

I know starscream wouldn’t just magically become good because he could relate to someone younger but I don’t like what hasbro did, so it’s always like if starscream gets redeemed he fiddlsticking dies, if he stays bad he fiddlsticking dies, continues the cycle, or he continues to get abused(or all three of those however way you wanna put it)

I think the chaos Terrans were a bit bland, like yeah they can have bad characteristics and bad influences but bro they’re toddlers, you can’t just say a toddler is evil/bad, they don’t understand what they’re doing or why/how it’s wrong. The difference between the Terrans and the chaos Terrans are like two sides of the same coin in my opinion, born of the emberstone, hurt or manipulated by the ones they thought they could trust, all died at least once or more by now.

I thought Robby and his crush were cute, and I’m down with it

I’m curious to if frenzy went back to soundwave(SW) or not because yeah we see a few of the other minicons with SW.

ideas time :3

I feel like people don’t want another animated/sari incident but I kind of wanna see how it’d be handled in our time because i find it an interesting concept, I see a few ways of doing it, bodily mutilation(more likely in fanfics or the comics), maybe someone accidentally getting an ember-shard stuck in their skin or smt.

(I feel sick rn and I haven’t eaten all day so this is it :,>)

[separatist-apologist]

Have you talked about the end of the acolyte yet?? What were your thoughts?

I did, and I am still collecting some of them. I'm conflicted. Qimir is incredibly sexy, Osha is also very beautiful and I love seeing them standing next to each other. I would loved it more if we got a full frontal smut scene with peen and boob- for academic purposes only of course.

I do have beef though (under the cut for spoilers):

I am really tired of the misread of what the Jedi are, and the edgy reddit talking points of "attachment GOOD Jedi DUMB" while trying to turn the Jedi into Catholic cops or whatever- that Senators speech was like...you know when you read a fic and you KNOW the author has personal beef with one of the characters? And so they use their fave to deliver the most sanctimonious, out of character rant you've ever read that ruins the whole fic because its like, "they would not say that?" That's how I felt. Okay.

It feels a little like the show runner has beef about the way R*ylo ended and is trying to right those wrongs. I'm terrified to even invoke the ship name because a lot of them are, how do I say this nicely, insane people with no boundaries. Osha's motivations in this episode were all over the place and didn't make sense at all. Killing Sol, for example- that felt out of character to me. Like the 180 that happened with Osha's character, it was like- they knew what they wanted to do, and they needed to get to that point, but like...it didn't make sense with what we'd seen previously

What was Mae's point? I'm asking genuinely because like...her whole arc was reuniting with her sister and then she just lets Qimir wipe her memories of Osha and it's all good?????

Darth Plagueis, my man...you good??????

YODA?????

I admit, the bleeding the kyber crystal was sick as fuck, I was mouth open staring the whole time like you can do that?????

My other thing about like...dark/light side romances- and I'm only gonna say it once as a SW enthusiast and not someone who likes to write these kinds of things- is that the little speech Qimir gives about "desire" is him MANIPULATING her. Time to pull out our power and control wheel for every dark/light side romance and be honest with ourselves. A sith can't love because the nature of the dark side is a craving for power. It's possession. It's more, its excess, its possessive and controlling and a constant urge to take everything you can get, use it up, and discard it when it no longer benefits you. The rule of 2 literally ends with apprentice killing the master and becoming the master himself, taking a pupil, and thus restarting the cycle.

I fully expected him to die, not gonna lie. I'm curious how this is gonna happen but I've shelved all my expectations so I'm not disappointed. I want to say things about the bendemption movement but I won't because I value not being told to end my life- but in the established canon, I genuinely don't see how this relationship plays out. either she kills him and becomes the master, or she moves back to the light and kills him because he doesn't really love her. OR he moves to the light and they're both held accountable for the atrocities they commit when they're evil.

As an XY enjoyer, I was holding out hope for new Kalos games rather than Unova remakes. And Apparently I was right to do so! Now with the new game announcement, it means some things to me and I have predictions/thoughts.

(more under the cut in case.... future spoilers)

1. It seems like it's set in the modern day, potentially not long before or after the originals. So We probably get to see more Sycamore. Which. Yes please. Gimme. I would like to see my boy.

2. If it's set not long after the originals, Potentially a Lysandre return. Or mention. There's no way he's DEAD dead. So they better do him justice. He got flubbed in the original games.

3. MORE KALOS LORE! FINALLY! 11/12 YEARS (when Legends ZA releases) AFTER XY PROPER!

4. The cancelled event Pokémon, AZ's Floette, might ACTUALLY be obtainable this time around! (Which also means the return of event mythicals like Volcanion, Hoopa, and Diancie)

4.5 which also means if you have Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde from either the original games or the shinies from Go, USUM Ultra Wormholes, or SWSH Dynamax Adventures, they can probably be brought over!

5. Zygarde might be the big bad you have to defeat this time around, using Xerneas and Yveltal to stop them. Probably controlled by someone like Xerosic. (think like Ultra Necrozma in USUM, or Eternatus in SW/SH)

5.5 that being said, Xerneas and Yveltal may get new powered up forms (potentially Megas) as a boost to calm the rampaging Zygarde

6. Sycamore actually participates in Story Events with the player. Because he might feel bad for asking so much of them the first time. (It's a stretch but a Sycamore lover can dream. I want to see him be a badass like in the anime. Give him his Garchomp)

7. Team Flare might still be kicking around, though subdued a bit depending on how long after the originals it's been. Maybe some new faces in there. Malva is probably the one running things with Lysandre being MIA.

8. It might be revealed that Kalos and Paldea did have beef in the past, which is where Paldea's crater came from. Bringing Paldean pokemon into Kalos may strike up new dialogue. (If paldean 'mons can be transferred over, that is. If that's the case though Terapagos, Ogerpon, and the Sandwich Dragons are going to be nerfed. HARD. Especially the small Terastal Turtle.) (i wanna see Sycamore's reaction to a Clodsire or Terapagos. He'd love the little guys.)

9. New megas, but that's kinda obvious. I'm thinking some i want to see are going to be Rapidash, Talonflame, and the original Box Art Legends.

10. It may be revealed that Sycamore and Lysandre did have a little fling, if not a full on relationship before the weapon incident. They gave us Brassius and Hassel in SV. And implied one with ORAS Maxie and Archie. You know what we want, Gamefreak.

(bonus) 11. A Paldean character might appear for a side quest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm holding out hope. But just the fact we're getting more Kalos stuff at all is enough to make me happy. It gets glossed over far too much.

[spikezonebby]

SS would ABSOLUTELY bottom for them.

In my headcanon and AU I got with a friend him and KO switch occasionally but I can clearly see him needing to be the bottom.

He needs to know he is in control and having the role as a bottom gives him that.

Also KO being a reformatted Seerker?! Yes please! I havent thought about that at all!!

He would know where to Touch SS wings and tell BD about it in secret to catch Starscream off guard when he is in the medibay.

BD is such a softy, I can see him be absolutely thrilled about the idea of having two Husbands to pamper, after all that big guy has the Spark to do so!

He may die in the Show but for ever will live on in our heart and AUs <3

I also love to think about ways SS passt KO and BD back. Be it small Gifts or small public displays of affection like thanking them silently, showing a smile, almost unnoticeable touches to the servos, shoulder or hip since SS does not want to show any sign of weakness.

I haven't read the novels yet but I am very interested in reading them. Especially since I miss TC and SW

Oh I can totally see SS's primary love language being gift giving! He can't ever do it directly though, or if he does, it's slapping it in KO or BD's servo and then carrying on. BD gets energon goodies and rust sticks, small tasty luxuries that are hard to find or make during the war. Ironically KO is easier to get gifts for because they're things that SS actually would like himself. Waxes and touch up paint, sometimes pretty glitter metal fleck paint or even UV paint that might have been used on Vos. KO and SS basically preening each other is essentially foreplay to a Seeker so they both pick up on that right away, but SS wimps out and escapes before it turns into anything deeper lmao

Please picture SS making an embarrassing emergency escape from the infirmary. He's more cleaned up and pretty all properly buffed out and waxed than he's been in millennia, but also so MORTIFIED and more painfully aroused than he's been in just enough time. I don't know if it's funnier if he DOESN'T know KO was a seeker, or funnier that he DOES know but he's that deep in denial that he just thinks he was being overly friendly.

Tiny, tiny shows of affection go a huge ways for SS too, and that's actually the one that gets Breakdown to realize "oh, holy slag, Screamer likes me too" because he doesn't pick up on the wing gestures and body language that KO can.

I suppose I should tag Spoilers for the TF Aligned Novels here so I'll put the rest of this under a cut. I'll also develop how I see this affecting Starscream below here too.

TC and SW meet an unfortunate end up the novels. If memory serves I think SW was eaten by a Sharkticon but I don't remember what exactly happened to TC. I remember though that it was SS's fault largely because he'd gotten in a sort of one sided pissing contest with SW because SW had started catching Megatron's attention more than him. So, SS had tried to sabotage him during a mission which ended up costing him his life.

I interpret this as younger SS once being far more impulsive and currently living with a lot of guilt over it that he honestly just can't bring himself to put to the forefront of his mind. He got his trine killed because of petty reasons, and YES that makes him a horrible person. He can't deny that his misses them, but also he's been putting layer upon layer upon layer of blockades over top of the feeling because processing it NOW won't do him any favors.

Depending on your interpretation of trines and trinemates, this can be various levels of devastating for Starscream. Maybe trines are just allies to keep your aft out of trouble, just allies in arms. Or maybe trines are in a league of their own as a queer poly relationship that was supposed to have echoes of growth for everyone involved for the rest of their lives. Maybe Star got two random smucks killed, maybe he killed his soulmates.

That's not something you can just shrug off, no matter how hard you might try. We've seen Starscream do some ruthless things but he didn't start off that way. He became that person through choices he's made and the affect it's had on him.

Kingohger Movie spoiler log

every shot and line i remember in order. reminder lines might not be 100% accurate

started with Gira staring at Rainoir's statue in the Shugoddom throne room. He looks uncertain.

Jeramie is sitting on a spider-string attached across the giant gears to the throne's right

Jeramie jumps down and asks Gira what he wants to do as King

Rita and Douga enter to tell Gira it's time for the coronation

Coronation

Ep1 Kings march scene (Kagu, Himeno, Yanma)

the three chitchat. Himeno complains about making her go outside and Kagu says it's Gira's idea to show the people their kings.

As Kaguragi sits down, a kuroko helps straigten his sleeve.

Gira arrives in Kuwagon

Ceremony starts. Gira's march is interrupted by Debonica and her song

Debonica introduces herself all solemnly as the navigator of the underworld but Gira is just happy to reunite with a childhood friend. The public looks confused.

Debonica used to live in the orphanage/grew up with Gira. She is older than Gira but always lazy and didn't help out.

"I'm here to bring Gira Husty to meet his ancestor and the 5 kings to the Underworld"

reaction shot of Yanma, Hime, Kaguragi looking interested (as if they knew??? ← my interpretation)

Debonica sings and a space whale flies them to Haaka Baaka. The whale is like a zeppelin and what hangs under is a circular disc the kings stood on (like one side of a scale). Rita keeps looking at the direction they came (their back to camera)

Gira recalls the orphans throwing a birthday party for Debonica but she never showed up. Flashback shot shows Gira waking up from a nap and in front of him on the table is the simple homemade birthday cake with a bite taken. Himeno asks if they are "just" childhood friends

Debonica seems upset and sings again, a rectangular dimension gate appears in the sky [Kagu's trailer line about Underworld's gate only opens when a new King of Shugddom is crowned]

Arriving in the Underworld

Haaka Baaka is this floating space with no up/down (a mix of zero gravity/underwater) and ghosts turn into jellyfish-like creatures and fly around. There're ruins of the five castles in the bkg.

Gira, Yanma, Rita land [trailer spinning shot]. Rita asks where did Himeno and Kaguragi go.

Ashes version of Bugnarok foot soldiers appear and attack the trio. They seem to be in a bit of trouble with each of them being grabbed by three foot soldiers or more.

[Aoto said they shot more of wings out-of-suit action here but ended up being cut. When he's in trouble from the enemy dragging his arm so hard it hurts, he turned around and saw Rita doing clean slashes and posing cooly so he felt left out 😅]

Rainoir appears and with a flick of his arm disintegrated the enemy. Each step he goes, a new block materialises from ashes under his foot.

Yanma says the Husty name with weight while Gira recognizes Rainoir as one of the heroes that saved Chikyuu 2000years ago

Debonica calls Rainoir "my king" and Rainoir invites Gira to tell him about the truth of Chikyuu's history as the new generation of Shugddom King

Yanma says "interesting" but the gate closed before he and Rita can enter

Rita: 帰るか Yanma: はやい?!

Rita: Are we leaving. Yanma: Too soon!

Gira meets Rainoir

Debonica was sent to monitor Gira but Gira still thinks of her as an older sister and makes fun of it. [Trailer line give up throne] → cut to wings scene 1

Debonica pinched Gira's cheeks and urged him to just go along like a good kid. Gira hesitates and thought Debonica was just being playful. Debonica said the moment he hesitates, he has lost the right ro be king. But it's alright because Rainoir will take over.

Rainoir explained he understood Gira is a kind person, then showed Gira a vision of people dying to persuade him into handing over the throne

Gira is still not sure because he barely had time to consider. Debonica said it's enough, sang again and a sand glass thing flipped around and they landed on the platform shown in trailer's final fight

Rainoir raised his sword on Debonica and Gira ran to block it out of reflex to his own bewilderment.

Rainoir explained since he's only a spirit so he needs Debonica's "existence" to revive in the physical realm. Gira challenged if that means Debonica will die but she disagreed angrily and insisted that it's fine because it is her destiny

Gira hesitates but took Debonica's hand and runs away

Rainoir commented there's no where to go. The Realm of Death is (a living forest?) → cut to Himeno in a forest

Wings scene

<- Debonica asks Gira to give up the throne

--part 1--

Bkg: underwater N'kosopa

Rita runs with both arms raised straight in the air. [trailer line: want to leave but no exit]

Yanma in foreground studying electronics. [Trailer line about creating a breaking point/picking a lock]

Yanma asks Rita to hand him a cable. Rita asks which one. Close up shot of Rita turning their head side to side in search

Cut to wide shot as each way Rita turns, they find themself in a new colour of a broken Saiban Court. x3 times

many many black skeletons fly towards rita, trailer shot of rita scream → cut to Gira's everyone dead vision

--part 2--

<- follows Kaguragi part 1

(Yanma and Rita are both physically in the underwater N'kosopa space but only Rita can see/hear/enter the vision of Dead Gokkan)

Rita misao pose + cover ears + heavy breathing. Yanma pulls them out of the vision by their back collar.

Rita falls back and lies on the ground facing up

Yanma: You saw something?

Rita: People I put on trial. The dead of Gokkan must hate me.

Yanma: Eh? The Chief Justice cold as ice is afraid of ghosts?

Rita: *catching their breath*

Yanma: Don't mind the things you can't see. Just take on what's in front of you now. How about that?

Rita: I, have a duty.

Yanma: Is that it? *smirk*

(cut to Rita turning towards a sky of flying screaming black skeletons) Rita: These are all, Moffun.

Yanma discovers the spider web Jeramie attached onto his waist before their departure (with a face of disgust)

-> Gira and Debonica scene

Himeno's farewell

Himeno walking in a normal forest and two jellyfish fly towards her. Her parents appear in royal attire and embrace her.

The three are framed inside an ishbana emblem petal.

Himeno: Papa, Mama, I've wanted to see you. 会えたかったよ

Papa: I am sorry (for making you wait that long). I can't let you go/ There is no way back. ごめんな　もう帰さない

environment shifts to dead forest → cut to Kaguragi

--part 2 with Sebastian--

← follow Kuroda scene

[trailer line: i came here to say goodbye.]

"Farewell without Sayonara is not beautiful." (note: sayonara means the never see each other again kind of goodbye)

Papa ghost asks Himeno to stay here forever

"My favourite things are still in Ishababna. The things I want are still plenty to come. I'll see you. bye bye." (またね is bye when you will see the person again.)

["mata ne. bye bye." is not scripted and improvised on set with director according to Erica. and the "too late" remark as well.]

Sebastian: you returned your parents' favour (恩 <- not sure how to translate it, the asian concept of that the parents' care for you is a blessing (and you should be grateful for it)) <- heard this wrong

edit post-release 6/12 : Sebastian simply said "I've come to [receive/greet] your return"

Sebastian brings her her sword and Himeno said it took him too long.

-> cut to ritamoru

Kaguragi

Toufu palace. Already burning unexplained. Iroki waits on the throne.

Iroki: Traitor. Good job stealing my country.

Kaguragi: Outono. It is you who took all the food, the life of Toufu, for yourself. It is you who betrayed the people.

Iroki: And you dirty your hands for this throne. What are you after?

Kaguragi: For the people! For my country!

*iroki evil laughs* (something about one day the same will happen to you) → cut to Wings part 2

--part 2 with Kuroda--

← follows Shiokara scene

The words are too fast for me but the meaning i get was Kaguragi reminiscing about what kind of (selfish) ruler Iroki was, but he is a man who is not afraid of dirtying his hands, that's how he earned the name of Toufu's Outono.

Kuroda does a backflip and kicks the image of Iroki into ember.

-> cut to Himeno & Sebastian

Gira and Debonica

Gira took Debonica somewhere safe and Debonica explained it was her destiny to become a vessel for Rainoir as she turns 20. That's why she never showed up at the birthday party.

Gira refused to accept and asked her to return with him

Debonica hit him and repeated that this is for the best of everyone, that this is what she wished.

The two started tickling each other. Gira said something about the cake that made her hesitate and Gira said thank you

Rainoir followed them here and asked if Debonica has made up her mind. She said yes.

→ cut to Aides scene

Aides - Shiokara

Yanma connects a cable with the spider web and succeeded in making a video call to the living world. He asks Shiokara, who had the lie detector on, to tell a big lie right now

Shiokara returns a "Now?" then do it immediately.

The lie so big that killed him is "Yanma-kun is the strongest at brawls" 喧嘩最強　ヤンマくん!

Shiokara shut the door on arrival. "DON'T!!! THAT WAS OUR WAY OUT OF HERE SUKAPON TANUKI!" "SORRY!"

the other three aides evasdrop classic three heads behind a wall style

Aides - Kuroda

Aides - Sebastian

Aides - Morfonia

Rita & Morfonia

<- follows Himeno & Sebastian

Rita heavy breathing. center close-up. hair blown by strong wind. hand cover ears. mask half down so you can see their nose and upper lip [movie still]

Morfonia: "Ritaaa~ listen closely." (ちゃんと聞いて)

Rita gasps. profile facing right took up half the screen. a small black ghost fly towards them and whispered. "Thank you, Chief Justice." ありがとう　裁判長　(you can glimpse at the blue eye through the messed up hair).

Rita relaxes stop gasping and froze.

Morfonia pulls them up by both of their wrists with a gyaaaa

Morfoina: Seems like among the dead, you are quite popular 😊

Rita nervously pulls their bangs down to cover the blue eye

-> Rainoir & Gira

Rainoir & Gira

Rainoir: Sacrificing one person can save the whole of humanity. Will you rob them of their bright future? a chance of having a family?

Gira: Is that what it was like in your time. Living in this world is hell. Future. Happiness. Those that have those set for them are only strong people like you. In this unsensible world, it's full of sadness and hurt and the unfortunate. The one that made our world like this, is the first king like you. If you think anyone can be easily sacrificed, than watch me destroy 2000 years of history. [trailer line]

Rainoir said bad guy things and "yabbari the king of chikyuu has to be me". the two fight and Debonica tries to make them stop.

Gira promises to bring Debonica back to the living world and make her another cake. She questions why for such a small thing. Gira says it's not small. In a world just like hell, it is the small happiness that gave us hope to live on. "To protect such small happiness, that is the king I will become."

Gira closes and opens his eyes again and jesus light falls onto him

Gira's hair falls down on his left (our right) and he looks SO EVILISH GOOD.

↑ basically that 'raise sword + mantle falls + rule the world speech' in tv but without mantle

the two men fight and Gira asks Debonica to choose who the Crown should go to.

the two transfroms. Rairnoir's transformation is all the ash bugs accumulate on him and he has a monster form like a gladiator.

INFERNO (movie ver.) plays

Debonica throws the crown towards Gira. "I want to live! My king is Gira!"

The others arrive and Gira & co. all say one signature line

Jeramie arrives following spider web on Yanma

Final fight

it's cool trust me.

Kaguragi butt-butting the enemy again

himerita team has three shots

blue white slash from right to left and rita shoots arrow from the opposite side

no mecha fight

soundtrack v1t1 + t24 (waking the king instrumental)

Rainoiru: That path of yours, can you save the people?

Gira: I promise, as the King to a new legacy.

Epilogue

Jeramie narrates in an empty Shugoddom throne room (kinda like ep20 end) as Coronation goes again

Orphans here. Kogane crying

trailer shots of Gira sitting on the throne

Gokkan's throne is there too and Morfonia makes Rita fake-clap by holding their hands

moments of silence when Douga puts the crown on Gira and just after he sits on the throne.

closing words from Jeramie: no one knows what will happen next. even then, he can only go forward in the path of king (王道) he chose.

no op/ed. cast & crew credits played during opening coronation scene.

Debonica eating the cake she deemed too sweet before and says shiawase.

I meant to post a bit more about the Jedi: Survivor experience with my best friend and Ash, and keep ... not doing it, mostly because I couldn't think of a way to do it without massive spoilers. But here are some (yes, massively spoilery) impressions of the first half (or so?) of the game under the cut:

There are definitely traces of the usual Star Wars uncritically colonialist assumptions, IMO—we're still discovering exactly what ye olde Jedi got up to on Koboh and how the narrative will ultimately treat it, but it's even more striking in some ways in Cere's dynamic with the Anchorites on Jedha, I feel? I like Cere a lot and it's not uncomplicated, but ... yeah.

Aesthetically, Jedha fucking rules. For all the variety and diversity of Koboh, Jedha feels so drastically different in every way, and the locations there are just incredibly cool and distinctive while still feeling recognizably "Jedha." I've loved just about everything we've seen there, especially the singing temple stuff. The revelation that the Empire didn't even know this amazing ancient temple they were destroying was a safehouse and were just destroying Jedha's wonders for unrelated casual Imperial reasons made its destruction hit even harder, honestly.

I also love Koboh a lot. It is nice to spend time in a planet with varied biomes and some of the specific locations are deeply interesting—I like the old meditation chambers/puzzles a lot, the Lucrehulk "dungeon" was absolutely fantastic, and I love the way Pyloon's evolves as you recruit people and do quests and things. It reminds me a bit of one of my favorite mechanics from the beloved game of my childhood, Might and Magic VII, in which your initially shitty castle evolves over the course of the game as you build up your reputation with people who can work on it. That was a lot rougher and more basic than Survivor's development of the saloon, though, so I'm really loving this base-building kind of aspect to it. You can even grow a garden <3

OUR GIRLFRIEND MERRIN IS THE GREATEST <333 I don't even like the concept of Nightsisters and I adore her to pieces. The romance is incredible. J, who is handling the controls (Ash and I have admitted we don't have the nerves for the game's parkour requirements), managed to navigate the whole "Do you trust me" portal sequence without a single failure, so it was just this wildly cinematic experience following from one of the few really good game kisses I've seen. I'm pretty sure J was sweating after the portal sequence though—it was wild. Definite MVP.

I really enjoy the variations in personality between the random indistinguishable enemies. Even the basic raiders have people who sound like Sith cultists and others who talk about how sad it is that the Jedi are gone, and the B1s are funny but also the fact that there are some who are ambitious and wildly overconfident, some are just kind of amiably clueless, some are scared and actually say they don't want to be used by the radiers ... B1 rights, honestly.

We have a lot of reservations about Santari Khri and also enjoy the sheer obnoxiousness of Dagan Gera. There's obviously quite a lot to learn about what exactly his deal is (apart from being the latest in the SW tradition of Scary Disabled Men, I guess!), but he's such a dick, lol. J trashed him in our most recent fight and the whole time, Dagan was sneering about how pathetic and pitiable Cal is and how everything is part of his master plan before running away with his tail between his legs. Ash went, "this guy, what is his deal" and I was like "Obviously it was all a social experiment!"

I think the raider bosses who have been rewarded with ancient recovered lightsabers are really interesting as foes in combat, because the first time it happened, we were like "what the fuck?? is this another Jedi apostate or what" and as the fight really kicked off, I went "...actually, I can't exactly say why, but I'm pretty sure this guy isn't Force-sensitive." J went "yeah, it really feels like he was never any kind of Jedi, but not for any especially obvious reason..." It's an interesting element of game design that you get such a distinct vibe from lightsaber-wielding combatants who can't use the Force without a single obvious element.

Fratricide guy was creepy as fuck, what the hell was that character design, God

I love nearly all the other named locals, though. Not just Greez (though I love Greez), but the bar regulars are just such a fun crowd. Not sure anyone can surpass SKOOVA STEV but Caij is a delight, the random finance bro is hilarious, Monk is one of my favorite droids ever, Zee the droid is more truly Jedi than most actual Jedi, etc etc.

There's a random interspecies gay couple, which was kind of charming, in part because their relationship is apparently built on the strong basis of them both being haters. Love it for them, though the one is so visibly inhuman that it's like... okay, cool, but feels like LF definitely hedging their bets still.

It's taken a long time to mention the protagonist, but I actually do really like Cal. He definitely doesn't exist in my personal OT-based vision of this era, but I don't feel like I need to accept him into my personal Star Wars Prime Storyline to enjoy this for what it is. I wish more SW EU products felt that way, honestly.

Spoilers for the season finale of Ahsoka under the cut!

I smiled. I screamed. I cried. It was fucking perfect. The most Star Wars-y Star Wars show. I loved it so much. Here are some miscellaneous thoughts:

All the Nightsister stuff! I’ve always loved the Nightsisters and wanted to know more about them, so this was so cool

Ahsoka being so understanding of Sabine and her decision was lovely. I love their relationship so much

Ezra’s lightsaber looking like Kanan’s!! Oh my god I cried

Thrawn continuing to be smarter than everybody and so, so cool

The Morai!

Huyang having the part for it and saying Ezra’s and Kanan’s were the only two. I sobbed.

Ezra being Ezra and talking on the trooper’s comm then stealing his armour to escape was so fun. It made me so happy

Baylan standing on the statue of The Father!! So cool. Also I loved the cinematography of those scenes. Big LOTR vibes

They’re going to Dathomir!!!!!!!

Hera and Ezra seeing each other for the first time absolutely broke me

Anakin’s force ghost watching over Ahsoka. I wept.

I loved the ESB vibes. The bad guys won, but there’s still such a strong feeling of hope, a sense that yes, they lost, but everything is eventually going to be okay

The score, the cinematography, the writing, the acting, the way it’s such a perfect combination of all SW media, god, it was perfect. What an incredible show. I knew it would be good, but I never thought it would be that good

My only complaint is that there was no Zeb, but if (when, let’s be honest) they get a second season, I’m sure he’ll be in it. Kallus too, hopefully. And Hondo, please

The Bad Batch Ep S2 Ep 11 - Thoughts & Spoilers

Spoilers,

Spoilers,

Spoilers,

So everything's beneath the cut!

I know with the Mando S3 premiere, this episode may have gotten even less attention than the rest of the show. BUT this episode had some incredible things, so here are *some* of my thoughts.

FIRST:

HIM!!!!! and he was NAMED and had LINES!!!!

This is super exciting, because while we glimpsed Scorch in Season 1 while they were rescuing Gregor, I don't think he was mentioned anywhere by name, meaning it could have just been a random other RC with similar paint.

Delta Squad (from Legends) was technically canonized when they cameo'd in the Clone Wars, but it's so nice to see them again! It makes me pray that the other 3 members have escaped and are with Rex, because Scorch is *definitely* still super chipped....

Next, the MAIN thing I was super excited about:

So many things in this episode made me absolutely SCREAM, but the main one was probably FINALLY some movement on the connection between Nala Se and Omega. That's something I've been dying for more elaboration on since S1.

Omega is clearly a kid created for a specific reason, raised under specific circumstances, who has a unique bond with Nala Se, the primary creator of all clones. I was sure this would be part of the central storyline of TBB so I'm SO GLAD we're finally getting to it.

The thing is, Omega clearly has very complex feelings towards Nala Se, and Nala Se also considers Omega "special." SUPER curious to see where they go with this, especially since Nala Se seems to be reluctant to help the Empire. Understandable, given the destruction of Tipoca City, but she also never struck me as the sentimental type. I'm personally very wary of the "care" Nala Se seems to be showing Omega, and based on what we currently know, doubt that she means it sincerely—Omega (or her DNA) is likely valuable in some way.

Not sure how I'll react if they paint Nala Se as a sympathetic character, because I doubt I'll ever forgive her for what she did to Fives. Her treatment of Fives, which is also indicative of her treatment of all other clones. Her being kind(?) to Omega doesn't erase that.

I am absolutely confident that this lab and Nala Se/Omega is part of a plot that will connect to the experiments done to Grogu, which in turn will connect to Snoke + the return of Sidious in the ST. That's the running thread, to provide explanation/justification for that "twist."

While I think TBB is fun, THIS is what I personally was waiting for—Omega's true identity and why she's of value to Nala Se, how she therefore fits into the greater plan Nala Se had, and how that in turn affects not just Fett clones, but all the cloning that runs throughout SW.

I also LOVED that Omega showed her skills here—yes, she DOES know her way around Kaminoan tech!! The only time we've really seen it before is when Cad Bane kidnapped her + the S1 finale. She was Nala Se's personal MEDICAL ASSISTANT. She is older than the Batch! She KNOWS things!!

I was genuinely expecting (hoping) to learn more about Omega throughout the entire show, and we do see her being skilled + confident around various tools, but that's around it. I hope her past that she doesn't want to talk about is dragged out into the open in these last few eps.

I have a LOT of theories about Omega's past and her connection to the Batch and their origins (pst it's all in my fic), some of which will likely no longer be canon compliant, but ah well!

Other things that really made me happy:

-The Batch showing some growth due to the last episode, and growing a spine to stand up against Cid. Both pointing out that she didn't help them like they've helped her, and demanding a higher cut, though she did get the final say in the end. It was still a massive improvement!

-The ZILLO BEAST. First of all, it was definitely one of the coolest creatures in TCW, so it was super exciting to see it brought back! Its physiology is fascinating, and I loved how we got to see it visibly grow due to it feeding on electricity. This is actually the second creature we've encountered in TBB that seems to like electricity as an energy source, the first being in S1. It's neat to see this pattern, perhaps they're distantly related species?

I also LOVED that it tied into more experiments. I need to rewatch the eps, but i think it was implied in TCW that Palps was interested in the Zillo beast's armor, so I loved seeing that actually followed up on!

In general, I'm just a huge fan when world building plot points connect or are followed up on to build continuity and a greater view of the SW universe, and this episode definitely connected a bunch of points, so that was awesome!

Anyway, only 5 eps left of S2, excited to see where it goes!

give me mercy no more

Day 3 of Kinktober-- Blood

[prompts courtesy of the lovely @kroas-adtam ]

Explicit | SwissDew

Summary: Swiss drinks. Dew cums. Simple as that

spoiler. bloody blow job

below for your consumption :)

It’s certainly a sight to see. Swiss has Dew on his lap, chest to back with his legs thrown over his thighs. He has Dew spread wide, vulnerable, exposed. All Dew can do is stare at their reflection in the mirror set in front of them. He trains his eyes onto the trail of dark marks that lead from his chest down to his hip. He tries to ignore how red and raw his sensitive nipples look. He tries to ignore how his cock twitches as Swiss runs the rough pad of his fingers against said sensitive nipples.

What he can't ignore though, is Swiss’ mouth sealed over the spot just at the base of his neck. He does his best, but his brain can only process the pleasure of Swiss leaving blooming marks against more of his pale skin.

“Swiss… you gotta. Sw-” He tries to plead but his words are cut off by the sharp graze of fangs right over his jugular. 

“I gotta what Dew?” Swiss says with a predatory look splashed across his face. He brings his hand up to Dew’s chin and centers him so their eyes meet in the mirror. “Tell me.”

Dew squirms uncomfortably, tries to wiggle himself out of Swiss’ hold on him now that he’s faced with what he’s been asking for. His shame is almost too much, it almost suffocates him. Who would want this, he thinks to himself. 

“You go–” His brain tells him to get out, to call out red. But he needs peace, and if it takes draining himself to get it, then so be it. “Drink Swiss, please.”

Swiss doesn't waste any time, quickly dragging his tongue over his chosen spot, right where his neck meets his shoulder. He lets out a warm breath against the damp skin before finally sinking his fangs in.

Dew lets out a drawn out ‘fuccckkkkkk’ as he feels the sharp sting of teeth breaking through his skin. His hand reaches up and laces into Swiss’ short curls. He doesn't know if he wants to pull him off or get him closer. 

Swiss can taste him and everything he feels in real time. His arousal is thick, sweet on his tongue like fresh honey. He’s never tasted anything as decadent. 

Dew can feel how hard Swiss is, he can feel his aching cock twitch from where it's pressed between them. His own cock hangs neglected between his thighs, and he needs to touch, to wrap his hand around the base and squeeze. But Swiss bats his hand away before he can even get a finger on himself. Plea’s fall freely from his lips, only interrupted by soft gasps when Swiss sucks particularly hard. 

Dew starts to feel lightheaded, hazy from the gentle pressure of Swiss’ soft lips as he takes in mouthful after mouthful. He has no words for what he truly feels. He’s at Swiss’ mercy, his life is in his hands. Stay for too long, and Swiss could bleed him dry.

The fucked up part, he thinks, is that he’d let him. 

He’s taken out of his head when he feels soft thrusts against his back. Swiss, blood drunk and achingly hard, is rutting himself against the hollow of Dew’s back. The usually composed ghoul is close, closer than he should be. But there’s no time for shame, not when he has Dew’s essence on his tongue. He reaches to pluck at the silver rings adorning Dew’s chest and it makes him flinch. Something… changes. His mouth is flooded with bitterness, something harsh. Pain, he realizes, that’s what Dew’s pain tastes like. 

He wants more. 

His fingers get meaner, digging his nails into the tender skin. He clenches his jaw harder, pressing his fangs further into the meat of Dew’s neck. It’s like he's a feral animal being presented with a meal. The gentle roll of his hips devolve into uncoordinated jerks and he’s dangerously close to rolling off of the high cliff edge he’s crested on. 

Dew is just as on-edge, if not more. All he can do is breathe, and try his best to not lose himself in the pleasure pain that vibrates under his skin. He wills away the panic that crawls up his spine, silences the screaming of his mind. 

Too much, stop. Hold on.

Swiss groans. He knows he has to let up soon. He knows what’ll happen if he doesn't. Part of him never wants this to end.

It doesn't take much more till he’s coating the inside of his boxers with his spend. A helping hand from Dew in the form of a harsh grind back onto him is all that he needed. He stills and Dew can feel his breath scorching across his neck. He watches as Swiss’ eyes screw tight from the overwhelm of it all. Blood spills from his lips, lost to the frenzy of his orgasm. 

He works himself through the comedown, twitches against Dew, accidentally tugging his fangs against his tender flesh.

He unlatches himself when he regains some semblance of normalcy and laps at the wounds, doing his best to clean up, doing his best to not waste a drop. Dew, still hard, denied and foggy brained from the blood loss, lets his eyes drift shut. He lets himself be taken care of, his job is done. Swiss wraps his arms around Dew and holds him close. He kisses along his temple, his cheek– whatever part he can reach. 

“You were so good for me Dew," He says with his lips ghosting over the shell of Dew’s ear. "Thank you.”

After a while, Swiss stands up with both of them, setting Dew onto the couch and leaning him against the arm, careful to not rub the puncture marks against any fabric. He kneels between Dew’s legs and allows himself a moment to admire– to witness the blissful look on the little ghoul’s face. He watches the now slowed down rise and fall of his lithe chest. 

He cuts the moment short, only to lock his eyes on Dew’s throbbing cock. He grabs the shaft with soft hands, stroking lightly from root to tip. He places soft kisses around the tip, leaving smears of blood that matches it's painfully red color. It makes Dew choke on his own breath. Swiss mutter’s another ‘thank you’ before wrapping his lips around the swollen head. 

Dew whines, high and feminine and starts to roll his hips, trying to get further into the warm mouth before him. Swiss would call him greedy for that if it was any other night. Dew cracks his eyes open and he's dumbfounded. He can't even begin to wrap his head around what he sees, he wishes he could take a picture, because no way would anyone believe him if he described this. 

Each part of the shaft that Swiss has worshiped has his own crimson blood on it. Streaks along the shaft, marks around the base from when Swiss buries him in his throat, blood on his hip from Swiss’ greedy hand. It's everywhere. It looks unholy. Depraved. Everything that Swiss is and everything that Dew strives to be. 

“Fuck–” There’s no other words to describe it. Wrong. Alluring. He turns a blind eye to the way he leaks a steady stream of slick because of it. Swiss makes sure to pop off every now and then to loll out his tongue and show Dew his slick and blood becoming one on his tongue. “Such a slut.”

Swiss thumbs along his side, a reassurance. A stark contrast to the way he almost drank him dry a few moments before. Swiss kneads at him softly with each bob of his head. Pleasure only interrupted when he needs a breath, and even then, he makes sure to swirl his tongue around the head before he comes off. He drops a hand to fondle Dew’s balls. He rolls them gently between deft fingers, pulling until a wanton moan falls from Dew’s lips. 

Dew brings his hand to the back of Swiss’s head and grabs a tight handful. The sudden pain makes Swiss moan and the vibrations make Dew jump. He leverages Swiss’ head down further, burying his nose in the neat patch of hair at the base and groans deep when he nestles in the back of his throat. Swiss swallows around him and he thinks he could die happy right then. 

A rogue finger drops lower, presses against the space right between his balls and the tight ring of muscle, and it's the final nail in the coffin. Dew spills, hot in the back of Swiss’ throat. Swiss does his best to swallow, but Dew thrusts his hips up and he sputters, letting some of it drip out of the corner of his mouth– he doesn't bother to wipe it up. 

Swiss wrenches himself off of the floor and brings his face up to Dew's. This time, Dew gets his fill, tasting everything he is as Swiss fucks his tongue into his mouth- blood, musk, cum.

They share him until they both run breathless.

Sigh.... Here I go again with Bad Batch predictions for S3E12, "Juggernaut."

Spoilers from the trailer under cut.

UPDATE:

NOTE TO SELF, do not post SW theories while stoned on THC Delta-9 gummies.

In the clip for the next ep, "Juggernaut" we see Crosshair laying down a body he was carrying on his shoulder. The unknown figure is dressed in what looks like the orange prison garb like we saw in The Clone Wars.

The most popular theory is that it's Rampart, and TBB has busted him out of prison to help them find Tantiss.

But I think it might be Boba Fett. Though I don't know what TBB would need him, for.

Of course, I WANT it to be Tech. The terrain looks like it could be Eriadu. If Tech survived his fall, he might have gotten put in prison by Tarkin. He hasn't been able to escape because Hemlock took his goggles.

I dunno.

MY OTHER POKEMON !!!

Cotton Candy the [shiny!!] Sylveon [he/they]!! a good buddy of mine that i found in a tera-ice raid den!!! his tera type makes his ribbons look like a glaceon's, and his pixilate ability makes moves like hyper voice and tera blast pack an extra punch !! >:]]

Wysteria the [shiny!!!] Alcremie [she/he]!! she was a gift from my cousin's partner for delibird day, and her and i have been friends ever since! her ribbon sweet and achromatic creme colours match my own colour scheme quite perfectly!!! moves like dazzling gleam and alluring voice are what she does best!! ^_^

[anghraine]

So my housemates and I (my bff J, and his other closest friend Ash, A Southern Lady of Taste who is at this point also my friend) are all super into Star Wars and experiencing Jedi: Survivor together. J does the running/jumping/parkour/slicing up stormtroopers part while Ash and I watch and either cheer him on, are available for consultation, or try not to laugh when he misses a landing seven times in a row.

Anyway, we're early in the game, but it's a fun group experience with other SW fans and like:

[minor spoiler under the cut]

Me: I'm just saying, I am pretty sure this guy can't be trusted. J: He is pretty white coded, it's true. Ash: But super hot, honestly. I'd do him. Me: Good for you! If you don't mind him being evil. J: Yeah, this is Star Wars and you know what this franchise thinks of the disabled. Me: No one falls to evil like an asthmatic amputee! Ash: Oh God. You're not wrong.

[varteeny1234]

i'm thinking about earthspark frenzy again guys. rotating her inside my head

spoilers under cut i guess! beware, the rambling goes on and on and on and on and on and ON

LOOK GUYS she's got so much trauma if you just look at her a little closer. Soundwave and ALL the cassettes do. But mostly frenzy and soundwave

we know that one of the cassettes exploded, right? And we all theorize it's rumble bc he hasnt even been mentioned at all in es yet he, ravage, and laserbeak were the main trio of cassettes in the g1 cartoon, which es is an alternate continuity of. frenzy essentially, for lack of a better word, replaces rumble here in this trio in es! but she's also changed her color pallette entirely, which is the INTERESTING PART

it's not confirmed OFFICIALLY that the exploded cassette did not survive, but they probably didnt. and i can only think of two or three good reasons as to why frenzy's design could have changed so much! the rest of them, save soundwave, look basically like 3d-ish versions of their 2d g1 original versions- or have good reasons why they don't. We all know the "frenzy is red rumble is blue, frenzy is blue rumble is red" thing, yes? Okay good. frenzy was red in the g1 show and rumble was purpleish blue. but not in earthspark! WHY IS FRENZY, WHO WAS RED IN THE G1 SHOW, PURPLE?

so, by my speculations, frenzy:

-during her transition (she WAS male in g1 and you can pry transfem frenzy from my cold dead hands) decided to just... become purple for no reason when she became punk (not that likely, but not UNLIKELY- it's more of a "why this specific color" than a "why change color" if that makes sense. honestly)

-was actually the cassette who got exploded, or at least badly damaged enough she needed a new frame, and the new frame was just purple (not likely, wouldn't really make sense, just seems kind of random)

-repainted herself in memorial of rumble, who is dead. (still not really that likely but more likely than #2 and also DELICIOUS angst potential)

Realistically, I know the color swap was probably just the animators messing around with the frenzy/rumble colors thing, but in-universe theres SO MANY THINGS that can be added! rumble's still mia though :( i want my boy baaaaaaack

OKAy all that aside, PSYCH ANALYSYS TIME!!

Frenzy, despite being VERY loyal to soundwave and the decepticons in every other continuity, is still with/following soundwave in earthspark but leaves him as soon as she's given a viable opportunity. She even tries to convince ravage to go with her and laserbeak! (It doesnt work, ravage still loves sw) But why isnt she loyal to him anymore? We don't know. But even though laserbeak did go with her when she left, he wasn't really vocal about it despite having a voice (except maybe that was decided to be confirmed canon in s2 b, and he couldnt talk then yet? idk). Frenzy did all the "i'm leaving, you should come with me" in this, for the WHOLE EPISODE.

My guess is, after rumble's hypothetical death, she was 1) mad enough at soundwave for technically killing her brother to not want to be with him anymore and thus she left him, 2) grieving and not in her right mind since she was literally a rogue 'con and she didnt exactly have the TIME to properly process rumble's death and just chose to leave and try and become independent on her own, or 3) TRY AND FIND A NEW MEGATRON! :D here's more of my insanity:

After frenzy and laserbeak disappeared at the end of episode 8, we know that they somehow wound up as announcers in an underground gladiator ring (can you see where i'm headed? yeah. yeah)!! why THERE, of all the places? WHY A GLADIATOR RING, GUYS? THE SAME EXACT PLACE THAT YOU AND SOUNDWAVE FOUND THE ORIGINAL MEGATRON (yes i KNOW that's other continuities mostly and not the g1 show but IT'S MEGS' ORIGIN), WHO HAD JUST CAPTURED SOUNDWAVE, AFTER HE'D BETRAYED ALL OF YOU?

Are you trying to find a replacement, so that you can have a new leader? Or perhaps so that you can find someone for your beloved soundwave to have with him, so he finally stops his path of revenge? (I think frenzy is actually fully on board with all that though, revenge is fun and soundwave isnt stupid or impulsive, he plans things out. and god knows he's being extra careful with the cassettes after The Incident) Regardless, Frenzy and laserbeak somehow end up in a mirror of the place that started the whole thing. For no reason whatsoever no sireeeee

Now here's MORE fun stuff. Canonically, frenzy and laserbeak both just left soundwave, but in s2 (i dont like s2 but theres some details that make me FERAL) laserbeak is BACK WITH SOUNDWAVE, and frenzy is just as mia as rumble! not even ONE mention. which means she's probably still on her own, but ACTUALLY all alone this time, since both of the other cassettes are with soundwave

Frenzy isnt ready to go back to him, then. But laserbeak WAS, and i dont know why the show writers had that detail in (i KNOW these are all side characters but i need to THEORIZE for my OWN SANITY) but this was ALSO after the whole "planet-wide transformer temporary shutdown" thing in the s1 finale, so i assume laserbeak and frenzy collapsed somewhere off on their own and laserbeak decided he was better off with SW after all but frenzy STILL decided to stay rogue? man, even the show writers could PROBABLY have used one more character there still, even if it was more work to animate. i dont think frenzys VA quit which is a terrifying thought actually

UM. anyways i think that's it for now but MANNN i am so very much obsessed with the earthspark decepticons goodness gracious
