Alt version of this post bc too many people asked for both <3
It's Saturday night and, like almost every Saturday night, Eddie wishes he didn't have to be at some jock party. The flashing lights, the scent of cheap mixed drinks, the incredibly mediocre loud music... And worst of all, the fucking jocks. Everywhere.
'Eddie!'
He looks up to find Steve, with a dopey smile on his face, basically skipping towards him and throwing his arms around his neck. Oh. He didn't know Steve still went to parties like those. Hadn't seen him at any of them in a while. But as soon as he gets wrapped up in an enthusiastic full-body hug, he decides there's one jock, and one jock only, that he doesn't mind running into at those parties.
'Eddie, what're you doin' here?' There's an unfocused look in his eyes and he wobbles on his legs a little bit, grabbing tighter onto Eddie for support. The touch burns through Eddie's t-shirt and he tries to ignore the shiver running down his spine.
'I didn't know you liked parties!' Steve drops his voice, slurring: 'I thought you hated the jocks.'
Eddie can't help but smile. 'I hate all jocks but one, big boy,' he tells Steve. 'Not here to party, only to get some cash.' He rattles with the metal lunchbox in his hands to illustrate his point. 'Can you let me go now so I can get on with my business, pretty please?'
'Noooo,' Steve says with an exaggerated pout. 'I'm too happy you're here! Dance with me!'
Eddie chuckles. 'I don't think you're in any state to dance right now. Jesus, Stevie, I don't think I've ever seen you this wasted before. Thought you were planning to pick up a girl tonight?'
'I was,' Steve says, suddenly sounding oddly serious. 'But it doesn't matter. Just needed to forget. The rum helped, too.' He frowns. 'Til you showed up.'
'Forget what?' Eddie asks, trying to make sense of this drunken string of words.
Something happens; something that's been happening quite often lately. Steve's eyes flash downwards, just for a second, right to where Eddie's lips are.
Eddie's heartbeat involuntarily picks up speed.
'What did you need to forget, Steve?' Eddie asks again.
'Can't tell you,' Steve mumbles so softly that Eddie can barely make it out over the loud music. 'I don't wanna make you feel guilty. I'm not judging you, y'know. 'S fine.'
He abruptly lets go of Eddie and takes a step away from him, stumbling right into some girl who pushes him back with an annoyed scoff; if Eddie weren't still standing right behind him, he would've fallen on his ass for sure.
'Alright, you're not making any sense tonight, big boy, but I can't in good conscience let you stay here by yourself. How 'bout I'll drive you home?'
Eddie glances at his watch. If he hurries, he can probably still be back to do what he came here for before the good part of the party is over. He does kinda need the cash.
'Can't,' says Steve. 'Can't go home with you.' Something in his voice is breaking and suddenly there are tears in his eyes, and Eddie still doesn't understand what's wrong; he feels like he's overlooking something huge, something that should be obvious.
'Let's just go outside to talk, then?' he suggests.
'Can't. Dance with me, Eddie.'
But when Eddie starts gently tugging Steve towards the open door leading to the garden, Steve easily lets himself be led outside. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath when the cool night air reaches his lungs, as if one gulp of fresh air will instantly make him sober up. But he's still swaying on his feet, making Eddie grab onto him tighter.
Eddie likes to think of himself as moderately strong, but unfortunately, hauling 180 pounds of muscled jock around is starting to take its toll on him. He spots a bench in a secluded corner of the garden and guides Steve towards it.
'This better?' he asks.
'Yeah,' Steve breathes out. Even now that they're both sitting down, Steve keeps clinging onto him. 'Look at the stars, Eddie.'
Eddie looks up at the scattering of lights twinkling far above them - but he can feel Steve's eyes still burning into his face.
When he directs his gaze back to the guy sitting next to him, Steve's face is even closer than before. The starlight is reflected in his hazy eyes, tiny specks of silver hidden in various shades of brown and black.
'I wish I could kiss you,' Steve whispers, looking at Eddie with nothing but admiration behind that glassy drunk gaze.
Eddie almost forgets to breathe. He knows that it seemed like he and Steve were headed exactly toward something like this for a while now, but he still can hardly believe that it is real. That Steve Harrington is really looking at him like he's just as precious as the stars in the sky above them.
He brings up a hand, gently caresses Steve's soft cheek.
'Maybe you don't have to wish,' he whispers back, unable to stop his eyes from flashing towards Steve's beautiful lips for a moment. 'Tomorrow. When you're not drunk anymore. If you still remember this.'
'No.' Steve shakes his head, so fiercely it makes his hair flap in all directions and his complexion at least two shades paler. 'Can't.'
'Why do you keep saying that, Steve?' Eddie asks softly.
'Cause.' For a moment Eddie thinks Steve is gonna grab his ass, but then... he randomly frees Eddie's handkerchief – the one with the skulls – from his back pocket.
'Cause of the Russians.'
Eddie can only stare at him in confusion.
'They tied me up,' Steve all but whispers. Eddie hates how small and broken his voice suddenly sounds.
He has always known – broadly speaking – about what happened to Steve and Robin miles beneath Starcourt last year. He's never actually heard Steve talk about the details, though. All he knows is that he and Robin were captured by Russian spies and somehow made it out alive. He could always see how difficult it was for Steve to talk about it whenever it came up, but he never wanted to pry. And now here they are, at some goddamn high school jock party of all places, and all of a sudden Steve willingly brings it up.
'I was with Robin,' Steve continues, still in that scared and broken voice. 'And they tied us to a chair. We couldn't move. And they – they hurt me. They hit me. 'Til I was bleeding all over. I thought I was gonna die. Robin thought I was dead.'
'Jesus Christ, Steve,' Eddie breathes out, tightening his grip around Steve's torso.
'So I can't,' Steve mumbles, holding up Eddie's handkerchief as if it's some kind of logical explanation for whatever it is he's trying to tell Eddie.
'Wh- What?'
'I know what it means, Eddie,' he says, as if he's even remotely making sense right now. 'You know John?'
'Who the hell is John?' Eddie only keeps finding himself more and more lost in this conversation.
'My cousin,' Steve says, like it's obvious, like he's ever talked about some cousin named John to Eddie before. 'The one in New York. He knows all about that shit, right? He sends me the good magazines sometimes when my parents aren't home. That's how I know.'
'Know what?'
Steve only waves around with that stupid handkerchief again.
'You're flagging, aren't ya? You like pain. Like BS... BM...'
Eddie feels his jaw drop.
'What the fuck are you talking about?' he asks. 'It's – this is a metal thing. It looks metal. I literally have no idea what you're – flagging?'
Now Steve's face finally mirrors the confusion Eddie has been feeling for the past ten minutes.
'Are you serious?' he asks, for one second showing more clarity in his eyes than Eddie has seen all evening.
Eddie nods.
'So it's not...' Steve stops himself, swallows, frowns. 'You're not into, like, hurting people and shit?'
And finally, it all clicks together in Eddie's mind: the repeated chorus of I can't, the story about the Russians, the goddamn handkerchief... Flagging. BDSM.
'Why the hell would I get off on hurting you, Steve?' is all he can get out of his mouth.
And Steve honest-to-Satan starts giggling; it sounds so relieved that Eddie kinda feels like giggling too, scary metal image be damned.
'I dunno, it's more common than you think,' Steve mumbles. 'I wouldn't judge you, alright? But I knew I could never give you that. No matter how much I like you. And then you'd get bored of me.'
'Oh, Steve,' Eddie whispers out. 'You don't need to worry 'bout that, I swear. For all I care, we can have the most vanilla sex in the world forever. Or never have sex at all. As long as it's with you... I'm good.' Eddie cringes as soon as the words leave his mouth: it sounds too cheesy, too sincere. He kinda hopes Steve will have forgotten this particular part of their conversation tomorrow morning.
But Steve doesn't look at him like he thinks it's stupid at all: his eyes are wide and he's smiling a soft smile.
'You sure? You won't get bored?'
Eddie chuckles. Now that he's being too goddamn cheesy anyway, he might as well double down on it. 'I can't imagine getting bored of getting to hold this body in a million fucking years. In any way you'll have me.'
Steve heaves out a relieved sigh before he buries his head against Eddie's chest.
'Can I bring you home, now?' Eddie asks.
There's a twinkle in Steve's eyes when he lifts his head again.
'Ooohhh... You wanna have the most vanilla sex in the world with me now?'
A chortle escapes Eddie's lungs.
'Um, maybe tomorrow, when you're not drunk off your ass,' he answers with a wink. 'For tonight, just lemme get you to bed, 'kay?'
'Okay, big boy,' Steve answers, and Eddie can't help but laugh before he presses a kiss against Steve's forehead.

but watch out, dearly beloveds bc im bouta strike again
The one and only Severus Snape™ as we all know, is alternate as hell. we joke about him being emo/goth but literally he absolutely would have been. He would've been considered alt in the muggle world AND in the wizarding world, and so it stands to reason that he absolutely 10000% would've painted/charmed his nails black. We all know and understand this deep within our souls.
SO THEN CONSIDER:
Teen Sev, obviously goth as hell - but then he returns! As Young Teacher Sev - STILL goth and - get this - by now the goth subculture is absolutely boomin! Its all the rage with the muggleborn kids and here is Severus Snape, the epitome of everything a goth strives to be, WITH the attitude to match?? im telling you this man has fans. I'm telling u the muggleborn Hogwarts goth kids are swooning everytime he stands there menacingly or glides around ominously, and I'm telling you they think he's sick as hell.
But the problem: He Doesnt Realize any of it
Because Severus Snape, bless his tortured little heart, has no idea or concept of what Goth is. He never set out here deciding to be goth, and this - all of this - is purely circumstantial. He doesn't Know wtf alt subcultures are! he doesn't know what the hell these kids are talking about! He may be halfblood, but he spent most of his years so far specifically trying to distance himself from muggle culture. This man is out here accidentally being goth, simply because he happens to like all of the same things.
and the thing is, all the purebloods and halfbloods who have been raised in the wizarding world? They dont know either.
So what ends up Happening?
All these goth muggleborns adoringly call him terrifying, they call him The Dungeon Bat in genuine admiration. He's so scary and cool. but everyone else hearing this doesnt know what the hell is going on so everyone, including Severus himself, just assumes it's derogatory. and Eventually it does become that way, because the others use it that way. Because those muggleborns come and go, but the students who were there when he was still a student, and those purebloods/halfbloods who had older siblings at hogwarts are able to pass on their negative views of him.
...and ain't that some nonsense? Over time, The Dungeon Bat fanclub learns to be quieter about their affectionate terms, but make no mistake - they're still around.

And then she proceeded to come up with a ten step plan to woo Zero.
Meanwhile Zero:
alt version, comic close ups, and some thoughts:
I understand that paper isn't much of a Thing so far into the future, but I like the idea of Maj'el specifically having a journal she keeps hidden in her quarters. It's fun to imagine her going back to her quarters and just writing down the events of the day.
"Woah, Maj'el, what's this thing?"
Maj'el: "It is a historical artifact." *supicious pause* "That I have been studying."
*looks at the well-kept, decorated journal with Maj'el's name written in Vulcan on the cover* "Sure... historical artifact. I didn't know history was your thing."
Maj'el, well aware history is not her thing: "Yes. It's a very interesting topic."
"Oh, really? That's really cool, Maj. Can you tell me more about this artifact?"
Maj'el, a prolific liar: "I promised the Doctor I'd review his holonovels, I'm afraid I must leave now."
[Text:
Zero, in Dal's mind: DAL!
Zero: How do I... flirt?
Dal: Wait. You're asking... me?
Zero: Yes, I want to let Maj'el know I am
Zero: interested in her!
Gwyn: Whatever you do, don't listen to any advice Dal gives you.
Dal: HEY! What're you implying?]
I just know that Dal, Gwyn, Jankom, Rok, and Murf would've been so supportive of Zero and Maj'el. With everything else that went on with this season, there obviously wasn't a lot of time to invest in it, but I would've loved to see conversations between Zero and their friends about their first crush/relationship.
#maj'el#zero#fugitive zero#gwyndala#dal r'el#star trek#star trek prodigy#fanart#art#star trek prodigy spoilers#prodigy spoilers#spoilers#< i think that's all of them#i started this before i was done w s2#did not expect zero to get a romance this season but i am /so/ for it#maj'el is such a good character and i'm very glad she's a permanent addition to the crew#she captivated me the moment she got stuck in time w the others#considering doing the 'go for it nakamura!' cover redraw w them; i think its fitting#if anyone knows the names of the other nova squadron members#i would really like to know them

these questions are pretty similar so i'll answer both at once.
to buy from a chinese indie brand, you need two things: the brand's taobao link and a proxy site account. taobao is a chinese storefront (?) that most of these stores are hosted on. there are plenty of western stores online that also carry taobao brand clothing - like arcana archive, glitch cupids, and pixie rebels - but i would recommend just getting your stuff from a proxy as those stores often up the prices of the clothes.
note that it can be a bit of a struggle to get the taobao link of a store, especially if you don't have an account (which is notoriously difficult to get these days), but i did find some link lists! (mostly lolita stuff as that's what taobao is most popular for among alt fashionistas ^_^)
some other brands that i recommend -
eyeelike - y2k inspired, though their stock is usually very limited. sizes up to UK 10-12 (L) i believe
link (lemme know if it's broken):
frufru - bright, colorful, sorta harajuku-esque! i heavily recommend their star messenger bags, been wanting to get one of my own for a while ^_^
link
and hbreaker - a more visual kei sort of thing! more edgy than the other two stores, but i'm yet to check it out properly
link
so, now that you have the link, you need a proxy site. this is so that you can send the clothes over from china to your own country. in the past, i would've recommended pandabuy, but it died a few months ago due to illegal replica selling. for that, i'd recommend avoiding proxies that allow replicas, because they might go under while you're trying to get clothes shipped. (that happened to me T_T)
some that are reliable are:
sugargoo
superbuy
spreenow
now all you do is use the search bar (make sure it's on the "shop" mode rather than "product"), and plug in the link to the shop you want to buy from, and it should be the first result. get all your clothes, and now all you have to do is have them shipped out! shipping usually costs a lot (£20+ from my experience) and if you're buying a haul, it can be over £200 for just 4-6 items, so i'd recommend only buying stuff you KNOW you're going to wear often and enjoy. shipping should only take 2-3 weeks (at least in my experience - i live in the UK, it might take more time in the US.) and boom! now you can dress like those cool girls on xiaohongshu!
there are also two western stores i'd like to go over that have similar clothes - sixth dimension and minga london.
sixth dimension has many good qualities - they have more inclusive sizing (up to UK XL), reasonable prices based on their quality, and they restock and do sales often. i heavily recommend them if you can't afford the high shipping prices or if the sizing is too limited for you!
unfortunately, i have less nice things to say about minga london. they're highly extortionate in terms of pricing - i've seen shein quality cardigans sold for upwards of £70, for example. they do drops often, and have been accused of fast fashion but i'm not sure if that's legit or not. they've also stolen designs in the past. however, they do have inclusive sizing, up to XXXL. i'd recommend only buying from them if they're doing a sale, or if you literally have no other choice.
now regarding fruits mag - unfortunately, you can't buy from them. fruits mag is a japanese magazine that went over a variety of different street styles, so if you want to buy from fruits, you'd have to buy from the brands that the people in the magazines are wearing. as fruits was most popular in the 2000s, most of those brands are defunct...however, i do have some recommendations for japanese alternative brands!
alice and the pirates - popular lolita fashion. pretty good sizing i think, and they do worldwide shipping too iirc.
baby the stars shine bright - same as aatp, but more "cutesy".
acdc rag - yami kawaii type clothes with inclusive sizing.
dearmylove - jirai kei/dark girly clothing and beautiful shoes. inclusive sizing, i'm pretty sure they have a full plus size range! also collabed with needy streamer overdose lol
liz lisa - lolita/mori kei/girly styles and pretty coats. quite expensive tho...
moi-meme-moitie - the brand of malice mizer's guitarist mana-sama! gothic lolita. i'm not sure about sizing or prices.
6%dokidoki - yume kawaii and decora style. very colorful! i'm not sure about sizing.
angel blue - japanese kids clothing, usually worn in general kawaii and jojifuku styles. as it's for kids, the sizing is NOT inclusive at all, UK size S-M at the most from what i've seen. usually you can only find resellers on depop, but the pricing usually isn't horrible.
other than brands, i'd recommend looking for clothes thrifting on and offline (hit big city thrift stores for better chances of alt clothing), buying accessories from verified etsy sellers, and just looking around the house for anything you can turn into an accessory or part of an outfit! i hope this post helps you though!

Hello! Do you have any fun headcanons to share about Idia? Honestly, I just find it painful to see how badly this guy gets butchered in headcanons sometimes. People always forget that he is in fact a complete ass with a massive superiority-inferiority complex and not just a sad boi, or they overplay the weeb part and ignore how he has other interests like science and art, or they make him too pathetic by assuming he would still be a blushing incoherent mess like a year into marriage, etc. Anyway, it’d just be nice to hear the headcanons of an actual Idia fan since that’s the only way to get anything sane.
Omg totally, first I'mma do a little rant, I'll make sure to label where the HCS begin so y'all don't have to read my rants 😭
܀⊹ ���ྀ🕸 ۫ ִ ׂ💭 ◟♡ ˒ ⊹ ݁ ִ ۫🎮ೄྀ⊹܀
❱❱﹒⟡﹒𝑅𝑎𝑛𝑡﹢﹒🎮
Okay we gotta acknowledge the fact idia is indeed, an asshole you guys. 💀Well not completely obviously but he's not just gonna be nice to you for no reason. He's not just some depressed dude needing sympathy.
The way Idia is so Infantilzed by the fandom it's actually gets me tweakin, You guys this actually makes me mad, he's not some sensitive bottom uwu boy that stutters 50 times every sentence In fact I honestly cannot see him being submissive half of the time, this man is actually a asshole on the low. Most people get the fact that idia would be submissive from his shy and closed off personality which is just SO wrong to me.
Idia is extremely pessimistic and if we're being real Idia is actually not a good narrator for his own experiences, the constant self deprecation mixed in with his his thoughts about being superior to others is so fascinating to me, one moment he sees himself as nothing but a piece of trash while in the next moment he's boasting about how he's the only one component enough to be ignihyde's dorm leader. He's such a complex character I can Yap about him constantly
I get making jokes and stuff but some people genuinely think idia is some stinky incel creep that hates women and just purposely chooses to not go outside and be chronically online. Like yeah, he has nerdy and loser like hobbies but this man literally has trauma and chronic depression, along with an anxiety disorder, it's not something he can just make disappear. He likes science, engineering, art, anime, games etc which is all just cool, it's not like he's some creep that's afraid to talk to people, nor is he some super submissive guy that'll fold for you in a tiny interaction.
Had to get ts off my chest 💀
܀⊹ ིྀ🕸 ۫ ִ ׂ💭 ◟♡ ˒ ⊹ ݁ ִ ۫🎮ೄྀ⊹܀
܀⊹ ིྀ𝐼𝑑𝑖𝑎 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑠 🎮ೄྀ⊹܀
🎧 Caramelldansen. Idia adores this song unironically. At first he had just saw the meme and quickly ended up falling into the whole thing, laying on the floor completely dazed out of his mind as the colorful lights flash in the background from the music video playing on repeat lol
🎮 I said this in my earlier post but Idia definitely draws his crushes all the time. Luckily he has a little self control and draws anime/manga characters in most of the pages, he's really protective over his sketch book due to 1.) His social anxiety and 2.) The fact that he doesn't want anyone to know that he likes drawing and observing people, especially his crushes.
🎧 Idia constantly has his headphones on, I know of a fact that Idia listens to Nightcore, anime OSTs, Vocaloid, animation meme music, Vkei, video game sound tracks and breakcore religiously. I think idia would honestly listen to everything he can get his hands on
🎮 I feel like he had a 2020 alt kid phase lol. I feel like quarantine would've been his time to thrive, his peak enjoyment of life would be set during this time lol. Being able to express himself like he wanted without others seeing??? Sign him up
🎧 Ironically, he's not super weak. I feel like he just sucks at physical activity, especially running since he doesn't leave his room much. His hands/fist are definitely strong, I feel like he has a strong hit.
🎮 That being said, I think Idia’s hands are large, thin and boney. They definitely have a few scars and calluses from all the machinery he works with, you can't tell me that his hands aren't pretty rough.
🎧 Idia is a fashion icon, in games. Not irl, he would never due to the attention it would grab him, though he definitely is into all of the alternative and Gothic fashion stuff. He'll give his characters the most perfect and pretty outfits and make sure everything is customized perfectly, not mind at all if it takes him hours to do so.
🎮 This man definitely collects figures. I feel like they're all anime and video game figures; he's even commission artist and such to make custom work of his favorite interest and brag online about it.
🎧 Has an habit of repeating words and phrases he likes over and over again. It doesn't matter if it's from an obscure meme that literally only 5 people including him know or if it's in a different language, he'll constantly reference and repeat it like no tomorrow.
🎮 He's a biter. He bites a lot of things randomly, he'd bite someone out of love if he got the chance. I'm telling you he'll just naw on random stuff, not caring if it's edible or not. It could literally be a plushy and he'll randomly bite it while he's hugging it.
🎧 Idia definitely finds confort in the rain and gloom weather. Really, he just enjoys typically gloomy things. It's extremely comforting and relaxing to him to just be able to sit on his bed with his headphones on while it rains harshly outside, making the world around him dark and gloomy.
🎮 Curses, like a lot. Gamer rage is real you guys and he definitely has it. If he loses a game too many times or gets too frustrated with his teammates, he'll curse like a sailor. His anger isn't directly to his teammates or anything, it's of him being frustrated with everything in general.
܀⊹ ིྀ🕸 ۫ ִ ׂ💭 ◟♡ ˒ ⊹ ݁ ִ ۫🎮ೄྀ⊹܀

Redesigning my Sepbox OC because I already started to hate their design, and I learned some more Sepbox lore (I still don't understand it completely ngl
Dr. Alanzi grew up as an only child in a rural Northern town in the Regnum Imperium, they secretly longed to become an artist but their parents had forced them to go through medical school to become a doctor. Their proficient medical skills were proven valuable as they were drafted to become a field medic for Regnum Imperium, during the War of Embers they had suffered an unusual fate involving a landmine blast that sent them hurtling into The Depths.
They had survived the fall into The Depths, but not unharmed. The blast had burned and destroyed the right side of their face, leaving them half-deaf and half-blind. Dr. Alanzi was paralyzed from the waist down and bleeding from bits of shrapnel embedded in their skin, and they would've perished had they not been discovered by a strange Abyssal that calls herself "The Medic" picking them up and slowly nursing them back to health with Dr. Alanzi's advice.
After being discovered by the same search party that recovered Ethan Khan, they had insisted on joining the Vital Force to further learn and research the Abyssals. The treatment Dr. Alanzi had gone through had turned the burnt areas of their skin pitch black and cool to the touch, their right eye had been replaced with an Abyssal eye that can see in the dark and telepathically sense others' illnesses and injuries. John Azoth saw promise in their medical skills and crossbow proficiency, their shadowy skin had piqued his interest as well. He was curious on Dr. Alanzi's time in The Depths, and decided to have Dr. Alanzi join the Vital-Force as a Doctor and Researcher.

I’d love to hear any comments/headcanons you have for pre-Tarn/pre-war Damus!
Those tags about him being touch starved due in part to his Outlier powers had me in my feels 😭😭 I loved that wonderful (and angsty) analysis on him.
Hmm I'm not sure I have that many but let's see if the ones I do have end up blossoming into a more robust list or not
Like most people, I headcanon Damus having an affinity for music long before becoming Tarn; I mean, his outlier power had literally nothing to do with sound at all to begin with (even once he started being able to do it at a distance), so it seems like for Tarn to have 'music lover' as one of his big traits, he would've picked it for a reason, no? Not all parts of Tarn (TM) have to be a complete pretense
Following that, because Damus' outlier broke all electrical devices/machines he touched, he became a singer because his own voice is something he can't break and that no one can take away from him. Maybe he would've tried non-electronic instruments, but he would've gravitated towards singing more than instrumental performance regardless
Also, depending on how you headcanon Cybertronian singing to work (do any of them "breathe"/push air like humans do or are their voices entirely synthesized? Is "breathing" a special mod or does it work as a function of ventilation/cooling), being empurata'd probably could've affected Damus' singing ability since he would no longer have a face/mouth to shape his sounds. Could still sing since he does have a voice box, but I imagine that, considering Damus wasn't able to touch anyone/anything anyways, losing his hands was way less hurtful to him than losing his face.
However, since his outlier ability would make him pretty much functionally disabled on Cybertron (literally everything and everyone is machines), Damus would've had a greater appreciation for physical mediums of art/function more than the average person, I think. In a society where pretty much everything is stored on datapads, computers, etc, Damus would've been a huge pen-and-paper, art canvas, stonecarving, etc kind of guy; a big appreciator of things that can survive without an electrical connection or any machine functioning. He's basically one of those people who, in human terms, would own a lot of antiquated stuff like record players, cassette decks, CDs, etc because his outlier forced him to adapt to (and then eventually enjoy the benefits/unique traits of) physical rather than digital mediums. I imagine this trait would make Damus odd among other hobbyists, since for both anatomical reasons (they're a mechanical species) and cultural reasons (history of mechanical superiority/anti-organic tendencies), most people would probably degrade physical media as less fast, efficient, flexible, etc compared to digital. Which does kind of make it ironic that Damus later became a Decepticon, but I suppose non-electrical/mechanical doesn't necessarily equate to being organic.
On account of not gaining control of his outlier until his outlaw days with Orion and co., I imagine Damus' job opportunities would've been very limited and he would've mostly had a very poor/limiting lifestyle (which also inclined him to be more interested in Megatron's writings and eventually becoming a Decepticon). Creativity isn't running well at the moment, but probably something like waste management (like being a garbage man) or some sort of manual hauling job, although Damus appears to have just been a normal 4-wheeled car alt-mode so I'm not sure he could've/would've gotten hired for heavy manual labor stuff. Perhaps he could've been a courier like Bumblebee was pre-war?
That also begs the question of how Damus compensated for his disability. Maybe to handle electronics, he could do so as long as he wore really thick gloves or something? Probably he'd also take advantage of stuff like voice commands/text to speech on electronic devices, so I imagine Damus' life wasn't completely devoid of any technology whatsoever. Do you think he'd be able to cook food on a stove top as long as he used a pair of tongs to grab it? I bet Damus had to get really good at improvising disability aids and getting basic life functions done without touching things directly with his hands, so maybe he was a bit of a tinkerer back then as well. And now I'm imagining Damus' home being full of elaborate Rube Goldberg machines that do very basic things like turn the stove to a specific temperature and turn it off after a set interval of time klsdalfjkdls
#squiggle answers#mtmte tarn#mtmte damus#hope these are pretty interesting!#admittedly i'm almost primarily going off of his outlier and reading that as a disability in the context of a mechanical society#but yeah. damus was an arts and crafts fellow i bet. big pen and paper appreciator#maybe he like crocheted or did cross stitch or knitting before the empurata

not that i disagree that a more alt country lisa would've been cool but some of y'all i think forget that og starshine legacy lisa was wearing khakis and a cropped blue hoodie... she's about as punk in that game as a gym teacher. star academy lisa and starshine legacy lisa r not the same and i would argue that star academy lisa is like, a different lisa from starshine legacy lisa. not to split hairs but like if we r rly comparing the different lisas thru the ages starshine legacy lisa and current lisa are about the same level LOL
#AGAIN I DONT DISAGREE I WOULD LIKE A MORE ALT HICK LISA just#listen. the khakis. Not an alternative serve. i honestly dont think the current design is that much less punk#i Would Prefer a country emo lisa bc that's basically every poor horse girl in the rural US but still. lets not forget. The Khakis.

Today's compilation:
Siglo 21 3.0 2000 Downtempo / House / Alternative Pop / Trip Hop / Big Beat
Siglo 21 was a radio program that mostly specialized in contemporary electronic music and ran for about 25 years on Spanish national station Radio 3, beginning in 1996 and airing its final show in 2021. They seemed to play a blend of accessible major label-backed alt-popular stuff (think The Prodigy, Moby, Air, Massive Attack, etc.) along with both Spanish-made and Spanish-language music that fit their own scope as well. Plus, there was also a corresponding Siglo 21 compilation series that was launched by Virgin in '97 too, and this release from 2000 that I listened to today is the third installment from that series.
So, largely, what we have here is a pretty nice and eclectic slate of alt-electronic and dance tunes from the turn of the millennium that seems to reflect what the sound of the Siglo 21 show was back then. We've got alt-poppy darlings Goldfrapp, French club and lounge legend St Germain, worldly downtempo wardens Thievery Corporation, and the we-eat-nails-for-breakfast acid-breakbeat-industrial-techno duo of The Chemical Brothers, whose "Out of Control" features Bernard Sumner of New Order on vocals and has a definite 80s New Order touch throughout most of it too.
But in addition to a bunch of those alt-electronic household names who were being marketed successfully across multiple continents at the time, we also have some of that very cool Spanish and Spanish-language stuff that didn't really make many inroads in the more culturally dominant English-speaking parts of the world too; like a dope hip hop banger from Spain's own Mala Rodriguez called "Tengo un trato" that served as her own debut single; and something from Mexican alt rock-electronic duo Plastilina Mosh, whose "Human Disco Ball" makes for a fun and quirky piece of talkboxed-and-vocodered bass-zappy electro-house.
So, overall, a quality release here that seems to represent what Siglo 21 was once all about. A whole bunch of this album passes for something that you probably would've been more likely to hear from the BBC than anywhere else, but the infusion of Spanish music certainly helps to give this thing its own unique and distinguishing features, thus making for something that's thankfully not just primarily comprised of your typical y2k-era alt-electronic staples 🙏.
Highlights:
Goldfrapp - "Lovely Head" Hooverphonic - "Mad About You" St. Germain - "What Do You Think About..." Autour de Lucie - "Je Reviens" Thievery Corporation - "The Mirror Conspiracy" Utah Saints - "Lost Vaguness" Mala Rodriguez - 'Tengo un trato" Plastillina Mosh - "Human Disco Ball" Bentley Rhythm Ace - "Theme from Gutbuster" The Chemical Brothers - "Out of Control" Playgroup - "Make It Happen (Extended Dub)" [unlisted bonus track]

It’s Q&A Friday Saturday with your host R.Q anon! This week’s question is…
Any songs you wish had a certain character cover?
That’s all for this week. See you next week for another Q&A Friday!
so like, songs already in-game that i would've liked to have been covered/covered by a diff group?
Setsuna Trip is the first to come to mind. I really wanted that to be Ichika/Saki. I still like the Minori/Airi version but I dunno I just think it would've worked better for Leo/need, especially since the instrumentation felt more pronounced on the sekai arrangement.
Back when we were waiting for the final vbs archive I said I thought Toya and An should cover Hibikase, Haikei Doppelganger, or Fraulein=Bibliotheka, and I still agree with those, even if An/Toya don't get in-game covers.
I also think it would've been cool if WxS got to cover Buta ni Natte yeah yeah since it's kinda a followup to potato ni Natte iku? Also I like both those songs a lot so it's a bit self indulgent but I still think it would've been good.
Bad End Night or Vampire's Pathos would've been great as WxS covers too...
While I'm at it I'm gonna complain about the obnoxious amount of full unit covers we got last year. Here's some full unit covers from last year that I think should've been duets:
Shiroi Yuki no Princess wa - Honestly I love this cover but the line distribution is a bit messy and I think it would suit being a duet. Any MMJ duet could work imo and I hope we get duet alts at least. Maybe Shizuku/Minori or Haruka/Airi
Aa, Subarashiki Nyansei - whose fucking idea was it to make a duet into a quintet, and then on top of it not even try to keep the line distribution consistent with the roles. Again, don't really mind what pair and ik this is a ship-bait-y song but i'd rather have a wxs cover with good mixing and line distribution than a cover for a ship i like lmao
Kyu-kurarin - Shizuku/Haruka. It's a bit different from what they normally cover but their solo alts sounded really good.
Shinkai Shoujo - back in like. literally 2021 I said I wanted this as a Shizuku/Haruka duet and I'm never letting that go.
Envy Baby - Mizuki/Ena. This is just because I think their vocals are really good there's no actual reason for it. (I know this is from this year but shhhh the point still stands)
#SORRY RQ ANON I DIDN'T REALISE I SENT THIS TO DRAFTS orz#i meant to post this on monday#asks#mod talks

How I wish Rick had written Anubis/Kind of AU ramblings??
This is all just for fun, and how I would've liked to see Anubis written in TKC. I still love him in canon <3 (also any incorrect stuff you see if bc i havent reread TKC in a minute)
For one, I would love to see him with vitiligo! I saw a post a small while ago that had a Anubis redesign with gold skin peaking through (go check it out its by @bansheeoftheforest), and it solidified for me how cool it would look!
Onto the actual writing, I have a very specific vision of Anubis as a very young god when the others were imprisoned by the House of Life, and him remaining alone in the Duat waiting for Osiris to return and take his rightful place. He doesn't leave because he's doing what he's supposed to: guarding the Hall of Judgement until Osiris returns. And well. He doesn't really return for a long time.
So I envisioned a kind of Lotus Hotel situation: The Duat messed up his perception of time so much that he genuinely doesn't realise how long its been. At most, he thinks its been about a month or so. He has no idea that over 1000 years have gone by. He hasn't left the Duat since the others were imprisoned, and thats exactly why the magicians of the House of Life weren't able to imprison him.
When Sadie and Carter come looking for the Feather of Truth, they're literally the first human interaction he's had in centuries. He doesn't recognise their clothes or their accents, or the way they speak at all. When they inform him that yes, several centuries have gone past, he's horrified.
Anyways I just really want to explore how different gods mature (i find it so interesting: Athena is "born" as a fully fledged adult god, meanwhile Hermes is born as an infant, though definitely not a normal one), as well as what it would be like for a person (god or mortal) to suddenly find themselves centuries into the future without even realizing it (this totally hasn't been inspired by "Lethe" by Eridans on ao3 hahaha. Go read it tho its amazing :D)
Also I love young gods. Gods who haven't fully carved their role in the world and in their pantheons. IDk.
ALSO: Emo Anubis due to one of his first interactions with the new century being Sadie (who is DEFINITELY an alt teen). Also idk emo teens.
ALSO (take a shot every time I say "also"), DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN OSIRIS AND JULIUS! Julius is Sadie and Carter's dad, Osiris is Anubis' father figure: THEY ARE NOT THE SAME :3 (to me at least).
One is a god, one is the god's dead host.
i have a lot of other stuff like this for the riordanverse and when i have time ill continue
have a few incorrect quotes from the generator as a treat :3
Anubis: You know, on second thought, Gum would be perfection. Sadie: *Gives him a strange look and hands him a piece of gum* Anubis: *Thinking* Gum would be perfection. Gum would be perfection. I could have said gum would be nice, could have said I'll have a stick. But no no no no no, for me, gum is perfection. I loathe myself.
Sadie: Anubis, when’s your birthday? Anubis: Why? So you can look up my natal chart? So you can figure out my weaknesses? So you can destroy me? Sadie: …So I know when to wish you a happy birthday.
Bast: My diamond earring came off in the ocean and it's gone! Carter: Bast, there's people that are dying.
Carter: Do you take constructive criticism? Sadie: No, only cash or credit.
#the kane chronicles#sadie kane#carter kane#anubis tkc#osiris tkc#incorrect quotes#how i would write: insert riordanverse character#but its just au stuff#kinda#maybe?#idk yall#like and comment below!/hj#i have thoughts and it is a curse yet i shall bless you all with them
