thank you to the beautiful person who reblogged this. having my yearly crisis but this time im doing something about it

[lost-in-yahargul]

By popular demand, here's another one!

[poppybros-jr]

I managed to find Shade Knight this time! And I got my lil bro/super awesome friend Anti to help, too!

Shade Knight is really cool! I don’t know him very well yet, but Anti knows him much better than I do, so between us we’ve made a list of reasons why you should vote for him!

- He’s a brave star warrior who’s part of the GSA! He’s very strong and kind and is always happy to help people! He’s an inspiration to so many people!

- He can shapeshift! Don’t you think that’s the coolest thing ever? I wish I could shapeshift too! I could reach all the high shelves! Not that that’s a problem for Shade, he���s tall already!

- He’s Anti’s big brother! Not mine, just Anti’s. But Anti says he’s a really awesome brother, and I believe him!

- This reason is a bit sillier, but… He was doing this thing a while ago where he was dressing up to look like other contestants, and he was killing it! He looks great in any outfit!

Vote for Shade Knight!

Shade Knight belongs to @rosiegardenlove . Thank you @boa35 for letting me include Anti!

can we talk about this cover? besides the fact that it’s my favorite cover of the series and gorgeous but also the contents of the cover

first off, WHERE ARE THEY? there’s not a place in the magisterium that looks like this, i suppose you could argue that it’s the elemental prison, but i don’t think it was described like that? and i remember in someone else’s post, don’t remember who, that it looks like european architecture (which. don’t fact check me.) and going with that at the very least this isn’t the magisterium and is somewhere else in the world entirely, does this potentially mean The Bronze Key we got was not the original concept at all?

to add onto this! let’s talk about the knife calls holding. it isn’t miri. i suppose you could attribute the odd design to the fact that none of them are consistent in the covers, but the one thing that throughout books has stayed the same is the design of Semiramis. it gets used several times for chapter headers and ALWAYS looks similar and or exactly the same. and at the very least, if the knife he’s holding was meant to be Semiramis, don’t you think they wouldn’t have curved the blade? kept it straight? here’s my conclusion, the knife he’s holding is The Cosmos Blade. the original title for The Bronze Key.

but.. why? why does the cover not align with the book? this is the ONLY book it happens in.

(with the sort of exception of The Golden Tower, my friend has a theory that it’s aaron on the dragon and not alex and they resorted to just making alex blond in the book but. whatever not the point because there’s not as much evidence)

and the original translated synopsis— which might be fake and i’ve never confirmed as real so take this with a grain of salt— does NOT match up with the book at all. could it be that more than midway through the book they completely scrapped the idea? opting to go with The Bronze Key to fit with the metal theme? could this explain why the cover took so long to come out? there’s more i want to say on this but i cannot find the words for this.

i don’t doubt that through the production of a book ideas will change, but let’s talk about when these changes occur. unlike with small changes like The Copper Gauntlets change from The Copper Mask, this change actually is huge. because in TCG, a mask IS mentioned, constantine’s mask. but in The Bronze Key, not even a passing mention on anything that could remotely be The Cosmos Blade is mentioned. and let’s talk about the under use of european mages, yeah it gets sort of explained why they hate makaris in The Golden Tower with maugris but let’s not forget! maugris was implied to be improvised by the authors.

there are tumblr posts from the authors mentioning the european mages, saying that yes they would get mentioned in the third book or at the very least the fourth one, posts that just BARELY predate The Bronze Key.

this post isn’t me being sour that aaron died in TBK, because let’s be honest here, he was always going to die. nor is this me being sour that calron was never canon, because i could care the fuck less if it was (my main issue with callmara is how underdeveloped it is and how it totally watered down tamara’s character to a love interest like they did with celia. im a callmara fan, but everytime i read it in the books I GAG).

this is me being sour at the AUTHORS for choosing to devote more time to their already established and more popular book series. they had too much on their plate. they chose to opt for a potentially more simple plot for time purposes with each book having less and less pages. they needed better time management skills. they are NYC best sellers and yet, and yet, these final three books are lack luster in quality as their own series thrive and continue to climb in popularity.

so yeah. justice for The Cosmos Blade.

i feel so deeply betrayed (HEY AT LEAST I HAVE GUARANTEED IL DAN HENG)

[poppybros-jr]

I want to do a propaganda attack for Shade Knight, but I can’t find him?

I saw this guy from a distance and thought it was him, but when I got closer it wasn’t? I think I need glasses… I’m running out of time, though, so please vote for Shade Knight anyway! If he gets through, maybe I can find him next time! Sorry to bother you, sir! I hope you have a great day!

Vote for Shade Knight!

I don't know these characters, and i don't know if the characterization in their Universe profiles actually matches their G1 cartoon depictions, Jetfire's/Skyfire's certainly doesn't, Devcon doesn't have one, and Cosmos' has little substance). But basically, according to said profiles;

Powerglide — Enjoys showing off. Prideful about his ability to fly, his overconfidence often gets him in trouble with enemy jets. Wants people, enemies or allies, to think highly of his skills.

Warpath — Overestimates/has too high an opinion of himself. More concerned with showing off than he's with the other Autobots, or at least it seems like that. His boisterousness, loud-mouthedness, and a raucuous sense of humor make him welcome company and make him good at lightening up situations. In what i'm convinced is a dick joke, he's very proud of his tank barrel and doesn't take even a scratch well, and would get depressed if it was actually damaged.

Perceptor — Has an endless thirst for knowledge which he seeks above all else, and Earth is a goldmine of new stuff for him. His job is to study Earth for the Autobots. He's absent-minded and has poor awareness of his surroundings when doing his thing. Good-natured and friendly, but unlikely to join the other Autobots in non-work stuff. (So the profile doesn't really give him personality besides autistic-coding and being nice)

Seaspray — Enthustiastic about his navy job and Earth's sea and the life in it, Cybertron doesn't have this kind of a thing. Prefers his hoverboat altmode and being in water to his bot mode/being on land. Loves the thrill of battle, and the risk of drowning if his altmode is damaged apparently only makes it better.

Blades — Street-fighter type who thirsts for up-and close violence, which to his anger he isn't getting because he's the air support. Considers long-range air attacks unsporting and cowardly, and would rather be spoattered with the blood of his enemies.

Except for Perceptor, these people are all pretty similiar actually. Not sure if the G1 canon had any depth.

Though at least this gives me an idea for G1 SG au Warpath; Shy, quiet, perhaps scared, tries to make himself small.

Ooo okay okay makes sense

There is no way that's not a dick joke. Like. That's gotta be.

You're right on most of them except Percy being pretty similar, I feel like for SG Perceptor there is a lot of fun to be had leaning into the Mad Scientist character. I am biased because I love Mad Scientist characters.

That'd probably be a good bet for SG Warpath

There we got it, Siriusmon. A beautiful (quoting Angoramon) Mega evolution, with a huge panel of attacks (form Gammamon’s Breaclaw to Siriusmon Breaquasar, we got the reference Toei), and against a flawless Kuzuhamon. Loved the new intro song!
