Who is bayverse au Ashlynn’s favorite bot?
Cogman obviously, but Ashlyn will never admit it. His tiny head is much too large already, no need to puff up that mech's plating even more.
So, instead of being honest, if ever asked that question, Ashlyn will do what she does best in this AU: have a little fun with it.
She will wax poetry about the strangest attributes of a bot, the odd symmetry of face plates, the sparks that trail off peds dragged through concrete, and the odd sneezing vent that matches the grace of a trumpeter swan. Random names, some within a few feet of her monologues, some that don't even exist in this universe, but it's never the same person twice and never with the same reasoning.
(Cogman is of course the exception, and the fact he is never mentioned only further proves that the over-qualified butler is the favorite. Sam is very confused by Cogman's preening.)
After Ashlyn finished a very lengthy description of how Megatron's voice has the particular quality of a screw caught in an ill-kept industrial clock's gears, and how his face was blessed with such intricate design that such a thing could only exist to be ripped off and replaced with an inferior model less an asteroid belt grow jealous of such a perilously pieced puzzle face, she gains a bit of a reputation. Well, adds to her current reputation.
Her comments on Optimus having the puckered lips of an infant, matched only by his temper of a toddler, have since gone viral.
(It is unconfirmed if Soundwave had anything to do with it. But it is confirmed that Simmons has been noting down every recorded dis just in case there is some secret message in there. She predicted the robot dino Grimlock! Now who is the octopus Quintessia that she speaks of? Who is the Unicorn?)

* Deadpool and Wolverine Spoilers *
Hey guys I need to come clean about my Johnny Storm addiction because I just watched Deadpool and Wolverine for the first time and when Johnny came on screen I said "flame on!" in perfect sync with Chris Evans and then proceeded to scream! In the theatre! So
Anyways that was an insanely amazing perfect movie I loved every minute of it.
Chris Evans' Boston accent was so strong especially in the post credit scene asdfjkfkdh it was insanely hot. Especially because it was Johnny. I'm sorry I'm so far gone for the Human Torch and Chris Evans is my favourite depiction of him.
After Johnny the next best part of the movie was Wolverine in the mask, oh mannnnn that was everything I ever wanted and more. I can't believe how perfect and magical it was.
As an MCU nerd I have to say the shawarma bit warmed my heart.
And Jon Favreau!!! My man!!! The Earth 616 bit was really cool oh em geeee that office. My fave touch was the arc reactor. I wish I hadn't gotten spoiled but I already knew they had the Peter and Tony photo, still cool but am sad about the spoiler. Cough irondadtumblr cough.
The Bye Bye Bye dance... honestly really satisfying. Still thinking about how smooth Pool's moves are. The whole soundtrack was amazing for this film, thank you Madonna! I liked the Greatest Showman easter egg, I wish it was longer but I understand they wanted to be tasteful about it.
The pure Deadpool and Wolverine fight scenes were just chef's kiss. Like heck yeah that's motherfucking Wolverine!!! That's Freaking Deadpool!!! They are doing the Deadpool Wolverine thing !!!!!!!!!
Just so happy to have Hugh Jackman back in this role, he's just. The Best.
The special effects of Cassandra Nova's fingers going through people's heads was epic. So well done.
Laura Kinney a pleasure to see you my darling. Don't know how I feel about Channing Tatum as Gambit tho... I liked how they brought back old actors and characters in a really well-done way, didn't feel like pandering.
Anyways for me PERSONALLY, 10/10. Honestly just for the Johnny Storm cameo I'd have rated it 10/10 cuz I am so easy to please... I will not stop thinking about how after 17 years we got back the best Johnny Storm. Chris Evans I owe you my life

✨️TWEEK TWEAK HEADCANONS✨️
trigger warning: mentions of meth addiction and rehab
• Tweek William Tweak
• He/Him
• Born on August 17th, 2004
• 5'9"
• Gay
• Practices boxing with Clyde. He's great at it. Although he usually ends up hurting him accidently because he's really fast and really strong from all the meth in his body.
• Speaking of, he didn't find out he was being drugged until he was 17. Tricia was noticing how jittery and strange Tweek was and jokingly said he was acting like a meth addict she saw on TV. This got him thinking and panicking and he actually got a drug test online for his coffee. After this, he had a panic attack from a combination stress, disbelief and the caffeine and meth in his body. He later confronted his parents, and this led to him getting into a physical fight with Richard. Tweek was of course grounded until he turned 18 and he moved out as soon as he could.
• Had to go to rehab for almost a year to get him off the meth and then another 2 months for the caffeine addiction. He doesn't drink coffee anymore now. Mostly drinks water and chamomile tea. Maybe liquor if he's at a party.
• Clyde sends him conspiracy theory TikToks to fuck with him and he believes all of them. Craig talks him out of most of them but not all. He actually participates in the conspiracy theories, he started a YouTube channel talking about paranormal activity and government conspiracies. He kind of got into astronomy too but only because he wants to know if aliens actually exist.
• Still has nightmares about the underpants gnomes. He stayed up for 3 days straight one time trying to prove to Craig they're real. Usually the nightmares cause him to kick and toss in his sleep. He's accidently kicked Craig out of the bed so many times. Also he has insomnia so he hardly gets any sleep.
• Bites his fingernails and lip sometimes until it bleeds. Tricia paints his nails and has to redo them all the time because the polish usually gets chipped off within days. Also scratches at himself a lot.
• Kelly, Tweek and Firkle are a theatre nerd trio and all in the drama club. Kelly is the best singer and dancer, Tweek is best at acting, especially emotional, Broadway type acting and impressions and Firkle is good at writing screenplays.
• He's a big fan of musicals too, he went to see Wicked with Craig and literally cried. He also likes RENT, Dear Evan Hansen, Mamma Mia!, Heathers and like every Disney musical in existence.
• Has really bad acne and eczema
• Loves popcorn but it gets stuck in his teeth easily and he spends like an hour trying to get it out.
• Most of Tweek's playlist is Glee covers of early 2010's pop songs. His favorite one is Rachel and Sunshine's cover of "Telephone" by Lady Gaga. He generally likes those kinds of songs by Katy Pery, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber. He just heavily prefers the Glee covers because he used to watch the show all the time and the covers are more nostalgic.
• Diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. ADHD, insomnia and mild depression. He's been prescribed Klonopin, Adderall and a few other medicines but he avoids taking them because he hates swallowing pills. Craig kind of has to force him to take his medication.
• Bought a whole bunch of fidget spinners and keeps like 2 of them on him at all times.
• Laughs like a hyena.
• Does not wash his hair in the shower until it gets so dry it's on the very brink of death. It's not even on purpose, he just fucking forgets until the last minute.
• Very bad at focusing and remembering assignments, his grades are terrible. The only reason he can remember his lines when he's acting is because he gets into a specific emotional/mental state based on the character. Homework is just something tedious and long with a lot of rules that he's being forced to do so it's much harder for him to focus.
• Has really bruised knees, a lot of cuts and scrapes on his body, and bandages on his arms
• Terrifying when he's pissed off, he has the highest chance of accidently killing someone during a fight. Not just because he's strong, he's just that unhinged when he's mad.
• Cartman calls him "Twink" instead of Tweek to fuck with him. This usually results in Tweek punching him.
• Fucking hates his name but doesn't want to go through the process of changing it.
• Plays the saxophone, trumpet, and violin.
• Best friends with Butters and Kenny. They all have similar home situations and shitty parents. Also Kenny introduced him to weed to calm his nerves. He doesn't smoke it a lot but like when he's really stressed and his medication isn't helping.
• Wears Craig's hat sometimes and chews on the ends.
• Tweek always liked Craig, he was just scared to come out. Especially since he thought Craig was straight
• Likes doing arts and crafts, but he usually makes a mess. He is so bad with glue, it got stuck in his hair a few times.
i love tweek sm he's my baby 😭😭💖
Tumblr media
also i cannot be the only one who made the comparison of "twink" to "tweek"💀
someone else thought of that, right?
right?
LIKE BRO IT CANT JUST BE ME-
Clyde Donavan is up next!
if anyone has any headcanon ideas, my dms are always open! feel free to send any feedback :)
drink water, stay safe, and have a goodnight!

TES CRUSHES
Thanks for the tag, @dirty-bosmer and @babyblueetbaemonster!! I tag @stormbeyondreality, @blossom-adventures, @umbracirrus, and @mantleofsanguine.
My raison d'etre in all fandoms is to get really, really attached to a minor character that very few people ever think about, and then invent a personality and backstory for them. You will see a lot of that here.
Skyrim Crushes:
Roggi Knot-Beard
Tumblr media
C'mon, I had to include my sweet baby boy! He may be one of the weakest followers in Skyrim but he's ALSO a chill, good-looking bro who likes bees and delicious beverages and never complains when I make him carry all my iron ore. Bless <3
Farkas
Tumblr media
Does anyone NOT love Farkas? He's such a sweetie! Big strong puppy dog himbo who is full of love. I'm playing as my Companions girl Amaal at the moment and she just married him.
Mjoll the Lioness
Tumblr media
She's so beautiful and scary and I love her endless stories about bandits and Dwemer ruins. My queen.
Tolfdir
Tumblr media
This one isn't so much a romantic crush, but I do love this old man. He reminds me of this great theatre professor I had back in college, who was an old guy from Sweden and had the craziest stories about going to underground theater shows in Russia and teaching Angelina Jolie to roller skate. I miss you, old Professor Jan.
Oblivion Crushes:
Nelrene
Tumblr media
You people are SLEEPING on this beautiful queen. She's a sexy demon who is involved in a workplace conspiracy to kill her boss. Girl needs more love and because of that I ship her with my HoK Sacha.
Mazoga
Tumblr media
I don't so much want to date her as I want to follow her around while she yells at counts and countesses.
Morrowind Crushes:
Falura Llervu
Tumblr media
Look, just hear me out. She's cute and sweet and her quest is an ethical minefield. That makes her ~spicy~
Korst Wind-Eye
Tumblr media
my fondness for kind nerds is well-documented
Bathmar Bold-Lute
(I don't have a photo of him. Here's art)
Tumblr media
Ok, let me try to explain this one. Imagine you're Sylvie (pictured above) and your good pal Skjoldr Wolf-Runner, the chieftain of Thirsk, has just been brutally murdered by some kind of demon troll. You go to a shitload of trouble to kill the troll and are thusly named the new chief. After going and making a business deal with a ghost, you return to your new workplace and there's this handsome musician with a vaguely Scottish accent singing your praises.
anybody? just me?

Shadow Milk Cookie Headcanons
I've been working on a few stories with Shadow Milk, so I thought I would compile some of my headcanons to share with you all. Hope you enjoy! (It's a bit of a long read, so I apologize. ^^')
Personality:
Shadow Milk is a massive theatre nerd and poetry buff. He constantly makes theatre metaphors and will sometimes be caught quoting famous poets and plays.
He's dramatic as all hell. Shadow Milk thrives on being the center of attention and gets insanely jealous if cookies aren't paying attention to him. He'll often create havoc with his puppets just to get someone to notice him.
Shadow Milk's emotions tend to jump wildly between extremes if he gets worked up. He can easily go from calm and collected to raging psychopath in the span of milliseconds.
He loves to terrorize cookies. If he believes that he can get a reaction from you, you'll quickly find yourself being targeted by the Beast of Deception and his mind games.
His greatest weakness is his pride. He's completely egotistical and sees himself as above other cookies, especially due to his status as one of the five Beast Cookies. Flattery and praise will immediately distract him from what he's doing, and he's a sucker for discussing literature and theatre with anyone who approaches him asking for advice.
Shadow Milk is a naturally baked storyteller, and it shows especially when he's interacting with children. He can easily entertain children for hours on end if need be, and he'll even team up with Eternal Sugar to lull the rowdier children into sleep. (Although you really shouldn't have your kids near Shadow Milk in the first place.)
He's extremely stubborn. While not necessarily the leader of the Beast Cookies, the other four can't tell Shadow Milk what to do or when to do something... with a slight exception.
Eternal Sugar is the only cookie Shadow Milk will listen to, but even then, she only really ever tells him to calm down when he's going on a rampage.
On rare occasions, Shadow Milk will lock himself away in a private space and spend hours simply writing poetry or creating new screenplays. If you haven't heard from Shadow Milk for over thirty minutes, he's most likely working on a project. However, do not disturb Shadow Milk under any circumstances when he's writing. Whenever he gets interrupted, he has a 90% chance of losing his train of thought and will immediately attack the person who interrupted him.
In Battle:
Either a Bomber-type or a Ranger-type, in the Middle position. He specializes in hitting multiple times and in quick succession. While he's not all that strong physically, he makes up for it with his speed and stamina.
Since Shadow Milk used to be the Virtue of Knowledge before his corruption, he is insanely smart on the battlefield. He doesn't like going into battle personally, though, instead opting to sit on the sidelines and relying on strategy and his own silver tongue rather than brute-forcing it (like Burning Spice.)
Shadow Milk will try to use his power to send the entire battlefield into darkness. After all, it's a lot easier to lie to other cookies if they can't see the truth.
If he's rendered desperate enough, Shadow Milk will join the battle himself. However, if he does, consider yourself crumbled. He's not known as a Beast Cookie for nothing; his strength, speed, endurance, and stamina are inhumanely (un-cookie-ly?) high thanks to his former power as a Virtue, and once he enters the battlefield, Shadow Milk won't hesitate to drop all of his lies in favor of bashing cookies' heads in with his staff.
If he's fighting alongside the other Beast Cookies, he tends to tag-team with either Eternal Sugar or Burning Spice. When he's with Eternal Sugar, he uses his powers of deception to get cookies to lower their guard so Eternal Sugar can ambush them. When Shadow Milk and Burning Spice team up, Shadow Milk uses his reality-warping abilities to manipulate the landscape for Burning Spice to cause as much destruction as possible.

the devil ain't a beast
Day 1 of @harringrove-flip-reverse-it: Found Family
(read on ao3)
**
Dear Steve,
If you’re reading this, I better be dead. I told you assholes not to open
It’s okay that you guys couldn't
Hey,
It’s weird writing this while you’re sitting right over there
Steve,
I just…wanted to say thank you. I never said it, after you stood up to Billy for me. For Lucas. I should have.
Thank you.
Not just for what you did that night, but everything after that. All the little things. The free movies and driving all of us around and letting me poach quarters out of your glove box (I know you noticed). I know I’m about to die so Maybe it’s stupid to be thinking about some change and a back entrance into the theatre when I’m under the circumstances, but it’s more about the fact that you didn’t have to do any of it.
I know Dustin strong-armed you into helping with the whole D’art situation, but after that you kept choosing to hang out with us, when I’m sure you could’ve found better things to do.
So. I hope you don’t mind that we all kind of see you as a big brother, because we do. I do. It was nice knowing what it’s like for people who aren’t scared to care about their siblings.
When Billy died I’m sorry for pulling away after Starcourt I couldn’t even handle losing the brother I sort of hated, so
Please keep looking after Lucas for me.
-Max
Billy never really learned to keep his nose out of other people’s business.
Maybe this will finally teach him.
The letter falls from his numb fingers, floating back into place on Steve’s desk, light as air and landing silently.
His grip on the page left it crumpled, wrinkled, sweaty fingerprints dented into the blank space below Max’s last words for Steve. Damning evidence that he’s been snooping around, not that Steve would normally care. What’s mine is yours, he said. And so far it seems he meant it.
The words leave a bitter taste in his mouth now.
But he never wanted Max to be his sister, did he. He always said as much. To anyone who would listen, including Max herself. It’s not surprising that she decided to replace him with someone better. His stare goes glassy, scattered papers and trophies and the yellow lamp all blur. His eyes sting.
He has no right to be hurt over this. It shouldn’t hit him like a punch in the gut, but it has, and he aches all over, swaying, nauseated.
And there’s not a damn thing he can do about it. That’s the worst part. He can’t make it better, there’s no fixing this, no patching things up with Max, no going back in time and beating the shit out of himself before he can ruin everything.
No one wanted to tell him, at first. After he clawed his way out of a fissure in the ground, blood and dirt under his nails, and scared the shit out of all of Max’s little nerd friends. She was conspicuously missing, and no one would tell him why.
Being trapped in hell for eight and a half months wasn’t as bad as finding out he was two days too late to ever talk to his sister again. At least when he was being attacked by monsters he could fight back. There’s no fighting this. There’s no excising his grief no matter how many times he bloodies his knuckles.
The sound of the front door being flung open echoes up the stairs. “I’m home!” Steve calls just barely loud enough to be heard, muted by exhaustion.
Billy goes rigid, tension coiling up his spine. It’s usually a relief when Steve comes back, after the quiet, the boredom of being cooped up in an empty house all day. He’s a bright spot, a comforting presence…
It’s not hard to see why Max preferred him.
Billy lets out a slow breath, and swipes at the wetness on his cheeks.
Familiar anger bubbles up in the back of his throat. So familiar it’s almost comforting. He’d rather be angry than blubbering like a child, wallowing in misery.
He’s tired of being second best. Never the favourite, never good enough.
He can’t do anything about how fucking inadequate he was, he can’t ever change enough to make it right, so what’s the fucking point, what’s the point of any of this.
It’s pressure behind his eyes now, tears blurring with something else, that rage that threatens to blind him. He can feel it in his fingertips, and coiled like a snake between his ribcage.
He has to get out. He has to just. Go. Before he breaks another thing that can’t be fixed.
He doesn’t look at Steve, doesn’t listen to his confused stuttering, and he barely feels their shoulders collide as he pushes past him, out the door.

SPIDER-MAN STARLIGHT (Wembley) AU FOR CONTEXT!!!
You just listen to what the coach says!
Dinah Ferris
17
Was the one who got bitten by the radioactive spider on her break at work due to it escaping from Starlight Corp. “Dine-Spider”… Original I know
Her dad is the only one around due to her mother dying when she was young.
Tassita and Belle are her best friends!! (Pearl additionally, but she’s known to not trust her due to her relationship with Greaseball, going into that later)
Openly queer and has been since middle school, she’s kind of always known. Not many people have given her grief for it due to her popularity.
Slick is also notably one of her good friends, they aren’t as close as they used to be (There’s a reason for that, if I write this I don’t wanna expose it yet)
Greaseball and herself have absolutely “despised” each other since elementary school. But it’s more one-sided, Greaseball being the agitator.
Really popular but like nice popular, like everyone loves her, (except for Greaseball).
Cheer captain, Tennis player, Theatre Fanatic and President of the Mathematics club. She’s a busy woman (ha get it, Sabrina?)
Tassita Hawthorne
16
Is in the year below Dinah and Belle.
Autistic and extremely sensitive to noise, (he always carries around ear defenders, Belle and Dinah each having ear plugs incase he didn’t bring them)
Was the first to figure out that Dinah was the “Dine-Spider” from TV. He becomes her right hand man since he’s wicked good with tech.
He’s Greaseball’s number one hater, if she has no haters he’s dead.
Is an absolute nerd and will yap ahout his special interests.
Loves 80s/90s music like a hell of a lot, also an avid vinyl collector!!!!!
He briefly dated someone before realising he was gay, when he came out he became a target of a lot of people’s bullying.
He’s in the school band, specifically he plays the saxophone and HATES it.
Has a BIG crush on Hydra, like it’s been going strong since Hydra came to their school. He joined the physics club to get closer with him as well.
Has the best and most creative insults!!!
Belle Loutus
17
Works the diner with Dinah, they’re the best work duo you’ll ever see like ever.
Is always tired, she never responds to texts because she’s 9/10 sleeping.
Herself and “Flash” (Orange Flash) have been dating secretly for months, since Flash is too ashamed to say she’s with a girl to her group of friends.
Has two moms, (Dare I say Ashley and Buffy…) who love her and embarrass her daily.
Runs track with Porter, Wrench and Arrow
Is the highest ranked in the chess club at school, herself and Hydra have a go at each other very often on who’s better.
Also secretly has the top grades in their year, but doesn’t like to boast about it.
Pearl Casey
17
Pearl the brand new girl! I mean quite literally… it’s her first year in the city.
She’s really into photography, her instagram account full to brim of photos of everything and anyone.
Dinah is her guide first day, which is how they become friends.
She becomes Dinah’s doubles partner after joining the tennis team, (they make a really good pair.)
Greaseball really takes an interest in her and they briefly kind of date, but kind of don’t. It’s quite complicated, you could even say casual…
Is saved multiple times by Dinah as “Dine-spider” due to Pearl being in the wrong place at the wrong times.
Really likes Rusty after getting over Greaseball, like the 3 others are absolutely annoyed by her talking about him all the time.
Is clueless to the fact Dinah is literally Dine-spider.
I may write this at some point lol, I just need to finish my other one shots and multi chapters

transformers one is out now!!! have yuo watched it yet?? how was it?? c:
HI ANON i hope you dont mind that i kept this in my askbox for a couple days because I hadn't watched it yet (wanted to make sure I was No Longer Sick, because being sick in the cinema is Not Great) and also technically it hasn't released here yet,,,? BUT apparently they've got advance preview weekends for like. the same price so Obviously I went.
ANYWAY I HAVE WATCHED IT NOW AND IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!! THANK YOU FOR ASKING.
AHHHHHHHHHH hold on I've been talking nonstop about it for like the last. 4 hours. fucking help me. or dont. I love to chatter and will continue to do so under the cut shjfkgnwmbfks so if you count this, it'll end up nearing 6. I'm... probably going to talk about this as if you know the general premise of the movie, but if not. Google it. Or just go watch it!! (Can recommend) I talk too much to summarise it fhfjfbskdnfkf
Vague spoiler warning because I don't know what I'll talk about rhdjfbekntkr,,,,
Edit: If you've been following me for any amount of time, you know that when I say this got long, you really do have to believe me on that.
My mom liked it as well???? She came with me because I didn't want to subject any of my irl friends to my tf rambling and she didn't want me to go alone fbfkfbkd I thought she wouldn't, but SHE LIKED IT.
Okay so first off: going into the theatre, I was so so afraid that I was going to have the same thought I had after watching Puss and Boots: The First Wish, which was- "I REALLY liked that, and it would have been one of my favorite movies if I was still a child." (Still a really good movie!!)
BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THAT. I JUST REALLY LOVE THE MOVIE FULL STOP.
Anyway, onto my wild rambling.
The visuals were superb!! Gorgeous. No notes. Freaking amazing animation and character design and world design !!!!! I'LL COME BACK TO THAT I COULD YELL FOREVER ABT WORLDBUILDING. The characterisation is so so good, so tasty.
Also because I'm a huge honkin nerd...
The movie is largely focused on the dynamic between Orion Pax/Optimus Prime and D-16/Megatron, but the other characters also shine through really well, and they show off a lot personality even with the ones with very few scenes. Elita-One is a fucking delight I wanna kiss her!!!!!!! She's so cool and pragmatic and it SHOWS in what she does and how she acts. She IS better than you, and she knows it. Even Starscreams confident yet cowardly nature is shown with him lounging on a throne and slinking off after his fight with D-16, and he's barely there!!! RAHAGGHHH I love what you can do with characterisation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also my god this movie was funny. Even when the pacing is fast it's a GOOD fast. Comedic moments are used really well in this, and it flips smoothly between that and the more serious and heartfelt bits.
AND HRHFJFJDK okay so maybe its just my sense of humor, but I found Bee to be really really really funny. He's just like me for real!!! Talks too much, excited as HELL about everything!!!!!!!!! HE'S JUST LIKE ME. I also told my mom this and she was like. "Yes! He is jist like you!! He talks a lot. You would do the knife-hands thing. Also, you're wearing yellow." And. I was. I am. hrhfjfjfkkghdk 💛💛 Shockwave in this movie is ALSO very funny. He gets punched <3 Many other characters also get punched, but he complains about it. He reminds me somewhat of TF Animated Shockwave but less intimidating sgdjfbdjfbdmfbmd
Tumblr media
Speaking of characters... Airachnid was so pretty. I love her design so much!!!! She's alien and COOL and I love her!!!!! She has so many eyes... (I'd ALSO love to know more about what her deal is. But... her lack of a motive/story is made up infinitely by strong screen presence and personality) Sentinel was ALSO very pretty and I loved seeing him on screen but I (spoilers) loved seeing him get ripped in half more. Those were LOVELY shots.
I brought my mini Soundwave along with me!! I liked Soundwave in the movie even if he didn't play a big part <33 The "there sure are a lot of waves" joke was VERY funny because I had the exact same thought moments before.
There are a LOT of cameos in the film and I kept going "AHHHHH [CHARACTER]". I get why they didn't add more as main characters- there were a loooooot of characters running around already, and only 2 hours!! Even so, I still wish we saw more of the other characters that cameoed (JAZZ!!!!!! MY BOYYYY!! I WAS SO SCARED THEY'D KILL HIM OFF) or had minor appearances because I just. I want to know what they'd do with the characterisation........ but that's what fanfic for for ig ehfjfhdk,,
And on the topic of lovely shots, theres a series of scenes near the end of the movie with no dialogue, only music and sound and. It's SO good. It's so impactful and beautiful and ausuaiaiurhrgh...
The whole movie is inherently sort of a tragedy since it's a prequel. We all know how it ends; what these characters become. But the build up to that is so SO good. I loved the character progression- D-16'S PROGRESSION TO BECOMING MEGATRON IS!!! AHHHHH!! I loved seeing him shift from one perspective to another and they made it believable.
His anger and betrayal giving way to violence- there's this one bit shortly after they are given the ability to transform where you See that violence in D-16 fir the first time, and it's shot so starkly in comparison to the other characters (who also fight to get away) and it's just like. Oh. There's the potential for something dangerous there.
It is so so interesting to me to see how that violence is framed in comparison to the others- all three of the other protags have their moments of violence- Elita-One is very very intimidating and used violence/threats to get her way, and Bee has this lightheartedness/innocence to his violence... Orion Pax is just. he's doing what needs to be done, he takes no joy from the destruction- he's fighting back, but I think most importantly all of them know when to stop.
There are the fights and punches that get thrown around, and then there is D-16 wailing on Starscream. Megatron RIPPING SENTINEL IN HALF. God that scene was good.
Anyway, sometimes in media a character goes through a Big Event that changes or breaks them, but here? There is no breaking point for D-16/Megatron. It's a slow spiralling descent and you see him taking one step after another, deciding to continue down this path. This is shown in a more literal way with his eyes slowly changing colour through the movie (fucking SICK SHOTS!!!!!!!) but there are a dozen more moments where you can see him decide who he is becoming.
IT WAS REALLY GOOD, I LOVE SHIT LIKE THAT.
And as audience!! Though we know this change is inevitable!! (This is an event in the past- the end of this is already written!!!) It's still tragic!! I feel for him!! I want him to keep getting back up in the face of Sentinel's cruelty!!!!!!!!!!
Orion watching his friend change, seeing them grow further apart... and he still hangs onto that hope right up until the end (and even after that!!!!!! He banishes him, because he will not kill him!!)
imo, they did Orion Pax/Optimus Prime really well in this one- he gets into a lot of trouble and it somehow works out. I think they do really well in making him feel down to earth in this- he's punchy and dynamic and has this unwavering respect for the people around him, but he's also good at being tricky and manipulative to get interesting outcomes that nobody else could have considered- he knows how people tick on an individual level and he knows how to use that. He thinks differently, and it's fantastic. Most importantly, Orion can see something nobody else can: a world where things are better.
Orion becoming Optimus... ough. aough. It's so!!!!!! AHHH. I loved all of the sequences that follow after. When his signature axe made an appearance I was so excited it was REALLY COOL. ALL OF IT WAS SO COOL.
The fight choreography is FANTASTIC and while it was a little messy at times (so much... going on........) it was fluid and dynamic and mwah mwah mwah I love it.
ALSO I SAID I'D YELL ABOUT WORLDBUILDING but this is really really long already so like. I'll keep it short as I can
The glimpses of the society that exists is FASCINATING to me. We don't get to see much of it, because our main characters are purely of the lower classes, so what's available to us is quite limited, but the class structure is INTERESTING to me. Unlike IDW, where form dictates function, this universe is driven (ha. ha.) on the idea that some Cybertronians can't transform (and thus work in the lower classes, as miners and waste management etc.) but as it turns out, (spoilers) they actually get their transformation cogs removed before they come online. And like... I can't help but wonder how they pick who gets that treatment?? Luck???? I'm dying to know.
ALSO I really like the Quintessons (sad they're not the the horrible five faced creature things. I wanna see the Weirdos!!!!) but I still think these fuck hard. They're really buggy and organic and cool (I adore their ship designs holy shiiiiiiiiit- just yesterday I was admiring all the bugs and monsters and crabby things in Guild Wars 2, and now THIS?? BLESSED.) And the CYBERTRONIAN DEER ARE COOL!!!!!!!!!! I like them. That's all. I wished we got to see more of the bio-mechanical parts of the planet...
AND AND THE PLANET ITSELF HOLY SHIT AHHHHHH!!!!! The city is gorgeous- the spires going up and down is mwah amazing. The roads and rails appearing/disappearing as they are used? PEAK. The MINES and the surface of Cybertron. They're shifting, moving, alive. I legit was staring slackjawed when they were in the mines- it's just SO COOL to watch!!!
OKAY. IM DONE NOW.
...
AUGH I want to watch it again. I probably WILL watch it again.
If you got all the way down here, thank you for reading (?!) and please tell me what YOU thought of it if you've seen it 🥺👀 Or if you're going to. I definitely recommend it.

what the hell is Going to Maine and who the hell are J and Beck? or, a primer for my ocs that you've been seeing me talk about :-)
the setting: university of south florida
our players:
J (Jenny Boyd) • they/them (he/she) • 20 • sophmore exuberant english major. has a brightly dyed mullet, is a big stompy boots wearer, and you are unlikely to see them not wearing either a homemade tank top, or a battle jacket. skateboarder of debatable skill. actually a pretty big nerd, but they won't tell you that. (there will be signs, though).
Beck Hammond • he/they • 43 • professor thoughtful, introverted, & nerdy shakespeare professor. long hair, glasses, dresses smart casual on days he's teaching (jeans and button ups, mostly). has a long time partner, but is becoming bored/uncomfortable with their relationship. video game enthusiast. fond of sci-fi & fantasy. writing a book in his spare time.
Cade Dalgaard • he/him • 21 • junior a strong and silent type punk. short, but makes up for it with a giant fan mohawk. has sick patch pants. seems intimidating, but is a big softie. really dry humor. a friend of J's from shakespeare class. has a will they/won't they thing going on with Kota.
Kota Takahashi • they/them • 20 • sophmore extremely dramatic theatre major. very silly, outgoing (matches J's silly to a dangerous extent). wolf cut, dresses retro/artsy, likes to wear different colored contacts for funsies. J's best friend (they met online in highschool and decided to go to college together). skateboarder of an actually decent skill.
Tumblr media
the rough plot outline is this:
j thinks they're late for their first day of classes, is NOT looking where they're going when they're skating to class, and they accidentally totally bowl over a really hot person on their way there. they stop, help pick of mysterious hot person's books (wow, that's a lot of shakespeare), and then run off to try and make it to class. J makes it to class on time (yay!). then, mysterious hot person they bowled over earlier walks in. Oh shit, hot person i skateboarded over is my professor? whatever, i guess, i'll be normal about this. (spoiler alert. J is NOT normal about this). anyways, as the semesters go on, J ends up getting closer and closer with Beck. (J goes to a looooot of office hours). eventually Beck ends up pretty much just letting J hang around his office to chat at random times. the tl;dr is they move from just a professor and their dedicated student to actual friends, and then eventually from friends to having a full blown affair.
Eventually, something will happen that means J+Beck get found out, or J and Beck will realize that what they're doing is unsustainable. Because they are in love, and crazy, J will suggest "fuck it, let's blow this place and run away to Maine together". And because Beck is equally in love and crazy, (after some time to think), he will agree to doing this. Whether or not they make it to Maine is immaterial, they just need to reach the point where it's brought up as a suggestion.
the TL;DR is that going to maine is a mainly character/relationship focused piece, so it's basically just chronicling J+Beck's relationship/affair, and how that relationship/affair progresses over time. there's also a b plot going on with kota+cade having a will they won't they thing, but that's less important to the story and more just for funsies
the TL;DR's TL;DR is college student and their professor have an affair and elope to maine together
Tumblr media
going to maine is also really heavily based off of some mountain goats songs. namely, going to maine. other important ones are the alphonse mambo and alibi. below is my playlist for it :-)

Secret Nerd PT 2
Someone requested this and I can't find the ask so I am sorry. I'm also sorry for literally taking forever to get to it.
part 1
Summary: Eddie, who may or may not be in love with you, finds out you like LOTR.
Warning(s): lots of steve fluff but eddie angst, unrequited love, not proof read
pairing(s): boyfriend!steve harrington x fem!reader, platonic!in love!eddie munson x fem!reader
w/c: 1.6k
Tumblr media
Siouxsie and the Banshees was softly playing through the dimly lit shop. The stacks of new records were beginning to lose their height as you sorted them out into their appropriate bins. There was dust in the air from the number of bins you were kicking out of the way. Usually there was someone to help you with the heavy lifting, but it was 10 AM on a Tuesday. A time void of customers.
“(Y/N)!!” Eddie’s voice boomed through the store.
There was something almost pathetic about how fast a smile appeared on your face when you heard him. You loved it when Eddie visited you at work. He always made your shift go by at Mach speeds. He helped you on inventory days, walking around holding piles of records all whilst giving you free music advice. Which was really just him complaining about anything you put on the loudspeaker. Because according to the dramatic mop of hair, ‘your music taste would be perfect if you just cut out all the moody, creepy whining.’
“I know you’re in here, short stack! Only you would be playing Siouxsie.” You could hear the eyeroll from across the store.
“Yeah, whatever, act like I haven’t seen you nod your head to Happy House.” You walked onto the main floor where Eddie was sitting on the counter, next to the Madonna cassettes. “Nice of you to come see me, Edward.”
“No need to continue the act, (Y/L/N).” His face was stone cold, eyes blank. Last time he looked that severe, he was being told that Hellfire couldn’t use the theatre room because the basketball team had booked it last second. Not a good day to be around Hellfire’s dungeon master. Mike, Dustin and Lucas avoided him for two days, just to be safe.
“You don’t have to pretend to be friends with me any longer; for I have been told the truth.” He hopped off the counter and crossed his arms over his chest, covering the Megadeth graphic plastered on his black tee. “The lady lies.”
“Me lady?” You pointed your finger to your chest, confused as you could be. “I lie?” Brows furrowed as you thought of any fib you might’ve muttered out lately.
“You lie! If we were friends, you would’ve never kept your love for Lord of the Rings from me!” he exclaimed, hand on his forehead. In that moment, the appreciation you had for Eddie’s dramatics had been replaced with a strong urge to kill. You should’ve guessed it though; it had been exactly one day and one night since you had admitted it to Dustin. And Dustin is a HUGE blabber mouth. The boy did not stop.
“Ah, heard about that huh?”
“Yeah, I heard about that.” He rudely mimicked your voice and glared at you. “This entire time, when I was holding stacks of Duran Duran for you, we could’ve been talking about Boromir’s heroic sacrifice.” It was taking everything in Eddie not to crack. He couldn’t stop thinking about how cute you look all pouty. You were all frown lines and crossed arms.
The small crush Eddie had on you seemed to grow at speeds that would leave NASA’s head spinning. When you were first introduced, he didn’t think much of you. Some chick he saw at school occasionally, walking with Nancy or laughing with faceless losers. You were one of the rare people that didn’t move to the other side of the hallway when he walked by, so he definitely remembered you when Dustin was pushing him toward the group. He already knew you were dating Steve, how could he not? ‘Steve’s girlfriend’ was your identifier. And back then, there was nothing he cared less about. Currently it’s something that didn’t let him sleep at night.
Eddie was never sure what love would feel like; and now he knew what both love and heartbreak felt like. Even so, he was never truly sad, not when he could spend time with you like this. The faux vexed look you were forcing onto your face was enough to crush any self-pity swelling in his chest. Besides, he knew that there was no way he had a chance. You loved Steve, and Eddie knew there was no one else you would rather love.
“You would be a Boromir kind of guy.”
Eddie held his hand over his chest as if he were hit with an arrow. “A woman after my own heart.” He fell onto the counter he was previously sitting on.
“Where’s my pretty girl?” The voice of the sandy haired man was heard before he was seen. Eddie watched your eyes light up before you walked around the counter toward the door.
“Hi, Stevie.” You wrapped your arms around his waist, resting your head on his chest. Steve was like a giant, human Xanax. He made every muscle in your body relax, every racing thought slow down. You squeezed him tight and took a deep breath. Steve loved your hugs. You hugged him as if he had gone away for years at a time.
Steve’s arms wrapped around your shoulders, and he kissed the top of your head. “I missed you.”
“Aw I missed you more, Harrington.” Eddie stood behind you. His arms were crossed over his chest. He was trying his best to look as big as possible. Even if he did know you loved Steve, it did not keep him from messing with him as often as he could.
There was really very little things Eddie could do about the pesky feelings that clawed at his chest when your eyes reached his. He knew that at some point they would slowly fizzle out, like the bubbles in his favorite beer. But for now, he was going to enjoy them. Enjoy looking at you smile, hearing you laugh, rolling your eyes, even putting away those annoying records and cassettes. Even if the image of you stuck to Harrington chunked away at his health. He was used to piecing his heart back together with the scraps of time he could spend with you. Eddie knew what his role was in life and getting the girl wasn’t part of it. It was devastating but his songs had never been better.
You felt Steve’s body tense up. “Man, you’re in here a lot.” He kept a possessive arm around your shoulders. “You wouldn’t want my girl or anything, would you?”
Your head snapped up to look at your boyfriend. That was a really jerky thing to say. Something King Steve would say. Which is what was the most surprising bit, with all the effort Steve put in to distance himself with his asshole high school self. All his other moments of jealousy were pretty tame, cute even. But he was being a jerk to your friend, and it was very upsetting.
Eddie scoffed. “I could never. That would be really dumb of me, right?” He grabbed your hand and pulled you toward him, his lips placed a soft kiss on your knuckles. “I bid your farewell, fair maiden. I have dragons to slay and whatnot.”  
The sunlight from outside painted the walls of the record store once Eddie opened the door. The second he was out of ear shot you finally spoke to Steve.
“I hate it when you’re like that.” Steve looked over at you when he heard your voice, and your frown was like a shot to the heart. He was no stranger to your cute angry face, but he knew when you were really upset. That frown looks nothing like the one you shoot him when he steals some of your fries. And he knew why you were upset. He was being a douche bag. As he was saying the words, he knew they were very asshole things to say but he couldn’t stop it. Steve couldn’t help how angry Eddie’s heart eyes made him.
“C’mon baby. He was flirting with you.” He tried to reason with you, walking around the counter to where you were counting some cassettes. “He has to know he can’t have you. Even if you’re all nerdy too.”
“Steve, Eddie isn’t a threat to you.” You turned around to face him. “Just cuz we both like..”
“I know. God, I know he’s not. I’m not insecure, sweets.” He put his hand on your right hip. Looking down at you. “I know I was made for you ‘cus there’s no one out there that loves you like I do.” He let go of your hip and found your hand. A perfect fit, but he already knew that. If that thing about an invisible string was true, he knew you were both knotted up together. Like those impossible knots on your necklaces, the ones you have Steve work out for you.
The anger that you felt for Steve dissipated and turned to another familiar feeling. Adoration. Love. Loving Steve has been the easiest thing you have ever done. He made it so easy. With his honey coated words and his pretty pink lips that kiss away all your worries.
“I just wish you would be nice to Eddie. He’s done nothing but be good friend to me.” There was a part of Steve that knew you were right. He was a good friend, not just to you but to multiple of his own friends. But the part of him that knew he was in love with you made him want to pummel Eddie.
“I just hate that he thinks about you the way I do.” He placed a gentle kiss on your lips. “It should be illegal. I should put in a word with Hop, get him arrested or something.” Another kiss on the tip of your nose. “In fact, get every loser that thinks they have a chance with you and through ‘em in jail.” Another kiss to your forehead. He saw the way you were biting back a smile when he pulled away.
“Just please stop being an asshole okay?” His finger found your sides and he started to poke, making you giggle and squirm away.
“If you insist, angel.” His lips pressed to yours for a long kiss.

my tss headcanons that make my fics/ideas/profile unique!!
basically headcanons that i rarely see other people share but i love them and i talk about them on the regular!
(also most of these are gonna be about roman lol)
1. roman is dark skinned, and not even like a teeny tiny little tan either he’s like DARK dark skinned and so is remus, but remus is a tiny bit lighter than him.
2. roman has a lightning mcqueen nightlight that he uses to tackle his fear of the dark. he also regularly has nightmares.
3. in high school aus, roman is not popular. he is not the queen bee, he is not the mega powerful guy with a lot of friends. he is an OUTCAST! whether it’s because he’s a spoiled brat who was never taught social skills, or he’s a theatre nerd who never stops talking about music and art and poetry. this man is not heather chandler reincarnated, he is a high school outcast 😭
4. virgil is wayyyy way way buffer than roman 😂 he is not a weak little noodle getting carried around by the valiant prince roman, he is a tough, silent guy carrying around his whiny dramatic twink.
5. on that note, virgil is the strong and silent type, but he’s not like super shy and meek or super mean and snappy. i love my virgil to be somewhere in between. he’s got some snark, but usually, it doesn’t get expressed out loud. i would compare him most linearly to matthew cuthbert from anne of green gables.
6. logan is so protective. this man deserves a brother of the year trophy because i make him the big brother in so many aus and he is just such an amazing brother figure because he cares so much and he cares about keeping his loved ones safe.
7. on that note, logan is SO kind to the weak, harsh to the strong. and janus is the same way. enough said.
8. every single side is capable of causing damage. i see so many people who make every other side realistic and then their favorite is so innocent and special and physically incapable of doing wrong. thats not me. everybody can and has caused irreparable damage and its delicious.
9. roman has a massive sweet tooth and virgil has absolutely no spice tolerance.
10. NONE OF THE SIDES ARE SKINNY LITTLE TOOTHPICKS. WE HAVE ENOUGH SKINNY LITTLE TOOTHPICK REPRESENTATION WE DONT NEED MORE. “patton is so small and petite” NO. patton has a dad bod, logan has belly for days, virgil and remus are muscular af, janus and roman are curvy bodyodyodyody. and they’re all BEAUTIFUL. AND THATS THE LAW. like where did all the stick figure side stuff come from?? not even THOMAS is that super mainstream body type that every single popular character ever is. i can’t wait for the world to get tired of writing endless skinny characters. (AND I AM NOT BEING OFFENSIVE I AM LITERALLY 110 POUNDS MYSELF SO I CAN SAY THIS.)

To hell with it! I can't contain it no more. Here's some Grey reference sheet sketch and an incredibly long trivia below:
-His full name is André Rousielle "Grézkolnovik". He's named this way because of his state of origin, the Republic of Rochavélle (apparently the equivalent of France irl). As for his surname, "Grézkolnovik", was actually derived from his own demand on the ID due to his great interest with Volgorand (Russia irl) culture.
-His personality is rather confined and not so talkative to people, he often struggles to find topics or continue conversation with people he rarely met. Though, if you're able to find a topic he has genuine interest in, he'd be more than willing to ramble with you for a while.
-He also has a bad habit of mumbling and humming songs he likes. The humming is fairly audible if you were to be near him.
-He was rarely seen within the town aside from the Town Hall, the pub and the park.
-He has a very strong Rochavelle accent, and to stereotype, a big smoke addict (silly francois as usual).
-He was born into a strict religious family and overtime he starts to develop religious trauma all because of his father oppressive actions on several medias he grew interest in. This state reached it's highest stake when Grey was told by his father to change his college major from theatre and cinematography to accountancy and management. This of course resulted as to Grey's major disbelief in religion and faith itself.
-As for the family itself; as of current he has 2 older siblings and a mother, who is unfortunately, terminally ill. Other misfortune for Grey is that both of his siblings has not gotten a job (as far to his acknowledgement), meaning, ever since his father died, he's not only working for his tuition but also to feed his family. He has not met them directly ever since 5 years ago and has contacted them for months (the Town is somewhere in Nordennass AKA the Netherlands of this world) and has barely any knowledge of their actual whereabouts. He often split his salary by 60% for them.
-Grey is a MASSIVE theatre nerd. He is obsessed with musical and opera or any theatre based thingamajig. He's mostly focusing on Volgorand drama and wishing to be one of the performer in it's famed theatre, he even taught himself to do several of traditional dances and once became a street performer alongside OWAKCX.
-Aside from being a theatre ethusiast, he's also obsessed with psychological enigma. He's often seen conducting "social experiments" (apparently just scruntinizing and try to conclude of what certain action means what of some sort) on individuals or himself. He's taken a big inspiration from his childhood-best-bud, OWAKCX, regarding of his philosophy and exploration of sprunki-mindset and psychology.
-On the behalf of OWAKCX, he's been friend with Grey ever since elementary and became best friend ever since. They went to the same highschool and university. OWAKCX was as if a saint for Grey due to his divergent and sophisticated mind who interests himself with psychological dilemma. Grey is also influenced by OWAKCX theories on social reforms or things (too lazy on bringing up on this one).
-As mentioned three paragraphs before, he was deeply influenced by Volgorand culture and traditions. This is because of his fiancé, Alizia, who is native to Volgorand. She became one of his sole motivation in the university alongside OWAKCX and he loved her very dearly. Her appearance closely resembles Wenda, with one of the most crucial difference in detail being her eye color and height (she is the same height as Grey where Wenda is somewhat 20 cm shorter). Though, 6 years of Grey's college life, she was sadly, deemed deceased due to a car accident (Grey and her was planning to engage right after they graduated). This struck a Grey like thunderbolt, forever scarring him throughout his currently life.
-He is now working as the town Head Secretary, real estate agent and rent collector, working alongside Simon who's currently going for an internship under his supervision. Besides Simon, he's also working for Wenda D'Felizio, the town's Head Treasury and Estate Supervisor, also daughter of the Head Owner of the Estates. She is well known for her wealth, power and questionable attitude, and if she were to be compared with Alizia, she'd be a complete contrast to each other, as if making an insult to Grey's face in directly. They both LOATHE eachother, he would argue and be spiteful against her and often brought up topics such as union, social reforms, or other in similar, though, he'd be immediately reminded by her regarding his position and she'll be more than willing to strip him out of his current position if he's actually willing to.
-As an ending note, I admit solely inspiring him off Rodya from Crime and Punishment.

Ororo, late in the Genesis war, holding the Uranos Trigger like Yorick's skull, thinking about all she's seen and done after choosing to insert herself in this culture - 'Arakko doesn't have drama kids bc everyone is like that all the time. I've never felt so fucking alive. I wish everyone who made fun of my weather incantations and invocations to goddesses I'm related to could see me now. Exodus would love it here.'
Tumblr media
Jon Ironfire, sweating bullets bc he's had the worst day of his life 3 weeks in a row + he is grieving his malewife who *entrusted him with his sword* - 'Why do you hesitate? If you're not strong enough to press the button to summon the demigod who killed half the planet like a month ago then I will!'
Ororo, waiting for Roberto to and to create suspense *WORDLESSLY FRIES THE TRIGGER TO SLAG WITH A HECTIC LIGHTING BOLT*
Roberto, nodding 'fuck yeah'
Fisher King, having constant PTSD flashbacks and overwhelmed by merging with a sentient swarm of insects plus the thousands of years of memories that come with it - stares at the giant fish and mutters incoherently.
Jon Ironfire, horrified - 'Why did you do that crazy and dramatic thing? I'm going to be rational and try to kill my malewife and his 99 ride or die soldiers by myself.'
Tumblr media
Dick Rider (Nova) watches, appalled but trying to not be judgmental. He's grateful that he's immune to the call of Drama Kid Swag. Out of the corner of his eye he spots a plague arrow flying straight at Storm. He acts quickly and *undramatically*
Tumblr media
Everyone is shocked but they totally get why he did it. It looked super cool. He's beyond fucked up though, and morale is low. They wonder if majoring in theatre was a useless degree, if it's incompatible with being a warrior. Silent prayers are mouthed, a sign is needed - a champion of violence and monologues. 'Magneto!' They think, but it's a forlorn hope. His heart was torn out last war, he kept himself alive using rage and dramatic timing - long enough to slay one final enemy and redefine philosophical deathbed soliloquies.
...

A portal opens.

Ayesha Liveblogs Shrek 3 and 4
The wild gendered expectations they have on Pinocchio to hate dinner theatre LMAO
"I am the rightful King of Far Far Away." On what grounds, Prince Charming?
Why does Shrek have to do all the knighting and christening of boats when Fiona is the royal heir? Even in Shrek we cannot escape the misogyny of inheritance laws
"Imagine an Ogre baby. They extra cry, and they extra poop." This is unfortunate foreshadowing for how many babies they're gonna have
"I am proud to call you my Frog-King Dad-in-Law." Ghkjhgkjhg Shrek is as preoccupied with Harold being a frog as Harold was with him being an Ogre
"You and Fiona are next in line for the throne." Again, I feel like Fiona has this whole like, princess her whole life thing going for her. Why does Shrek need to be ruling in any way
NOT KING HAROLD BEING SENT TO REST IN YE OLDE FOOT LOCKER BOX:
Tumblr media
Why has Doris been thrown out of the bar!! Who is Mabel!!
"And you, Frumpypigskin." "Rumplestiltskin." "Where's that firstborn you were promised?" I think this is supposed to be foreshadowing for the next Shrek movie
"How does it happen?" said Donkey, as if he did not have at least five children (six if we count the missing baby, whose name is apparently Éclair)
"My stomach aches and my palm just got sweaty. Must be a high school." Relatable. Also the implication that Shrek went to high school. Was it an Ogre high school or a general high school for fairytale creatures
"My friend Tiffany thinkest thou vex her so soothly. And she thought perchance you would ask her to the homecoming dance." Tiffany confirming that the Shrekfucker community is alive and well
Not Arthur Pendragon being bullied by the nerds omg
Fgjkhkghkgjh Guin being repulsed by Arthur. Rough
I guess we know where Doris is!! At Fiona's baby shower
"I got you the biggest one, because I love you the most." HAHAHAHA not Snow White giving Fiona a PERSON as a present
HAHAHAHAHA I love Pinnochio double negativing Charming into confusion
Tumblr media
"He'll never fall for your tricks!" [Nose grows] Pinocchio knows Shrek is very gullible
Most of Shrek's problems are related to just being too strong to handle his own body
How long does Shrek think he can hide the fact there are other heirs to the throne. Does he think if he waits til they're in Far Far Away, Artie won't turn back?
"Somebody help! I've been kidnapped by a monster trying to relate to me." This movie strongly feels like it was written by the parent of a teenager LMAO
"Please leave any bad vibes outside the healing vortex." Me trying to talk to my parents
"My dad wasn't really the fatherly type either." 1) The plot of this movie is simply Daddy Issues: Shrek Edition and 2) Are we finally going to find out where some of the other Ogres are?
I guess we have taken until the third movie to confirm that some, if not most, Ogres, are pro-eating each other, at least. Shrek's father said, I put you in this world, I can take you out
"People used to think I was a monster. And for a long time, I believed them. But after a while, you learn to ignore the names that people call you, and you just trust who you are." SOMETHING SOMETHING METAPHORS FOR OPPRESSION SOMETHING SOMETHING MY HEART
Tumblr media
"That Charming makes me hotter than July." Why did Rapunzel say 'ew,' isn't she the one that Charming calls Kitten Whiskers lmao
Update from 30 seconds later: I got an immediate answer to this question in the form of Rapunzel betraying them
Also: Is the topiary supposed to be Lillian or is the implication Charming's first act in this coup was to replace the garden sculptures jkhgkjhg. I've been thinking it for a while but Lillian and Charming really do have the same hair and general face shape:
Tumblr media
"Shrek will be back soon, and you'll be sorry." Fiona why do you need Shrek, you can take out a band of ten Merry Men by yourself!! Are you hesitant to fight because you're pregnant? This movie should really be about Fiona and not Shrek
"Get yourself back to Worcestershire, kid." Bold of them to choose this name for Artie's hometown hahahah
HAHAHAHA Artie defeats Merlin's magical insecurities by having a tantrum
Efhjkfhkfjh the implication that Donkey has been suppressing his inner heehaw for two whole movies. Poor Puss in Boots
"He's a star, people! Hello? I'm so sorry about this, Mr. Shrek." Artie's best quality as a leader is his ability to think on his feet
"I wasn't right for the job. I just needed some fool to replace me." IT'S A GOOD THING YOU'RE NOT THE ROYAL HEIR OF FAR FAR AWAY SHREK, FIONA IS! IT'S HER THRONE AND HER DECISION, U DINK
Shout-out to Cinderella's slowly dwindling mental health, she's got some of the most labour-intense and psychologically difficult backstory kghkhjg
Oh hell yeah Julie Andrews as Mama Lillian showing where Fiona got her fighting skills
Tumblr media
"Okay girls, from here on out, we're gonna take care of business ourselves." AS THEY SHOULD!
HAHAHAHAH Snow White's singing scene is all I remember from this movie. Get 'em girls!!!
Tumblr media
Cinderella throwing her glass shoe, Sleeping Beauty tripping them with her narcolepsy, Doris tripping the men up with her leg that didn't fit into the shoe. I love that the mechanisms of their fighting are the same as their confines in the story
"Shrek only said those things to protect you." And because they were true! He was also dishonest with Arthur lmao
Awwww the Shrek fan club in the audience. He really is a beloved by the people, in his way
"If you don't mind, could you kill me, and then sing?" Charming really should've put a muzzle on Shrek if he wanted him to be a silent participant in this play
Shrek's strongest asset by far is the community of people he and Fiona have built (the fairy tale creatures, the princesses, Doris, the dragon, the citizens of Far Far Away)
"Don't you ever wish you could be something else [other than a villain]?" Arthur yet again comes through with his gift of gab
Tumblr media
"What Steve's trying to say is it's hard to come by honest work when the whole world's against you." Steve and Ed the Evil Trees raise very point
"I grow daffodils, and they're beautiful." Love this for Captain Hook
"It's yours if you want, you know. But this time it's your choice." WHY IS IT NOT FIONA'S CHOICE!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE NOT THE PRINCE, SHREK!!!!
Tumblr media
You know, if the only remaining complication of switching bodies is losing your tail for a bit, that's not the worst
"I think the kid's going to be a great king." "Well, for what it's worth, you would have too." SO WOULD YOU, FIONA, AS HEIR TO THIS KINGDOM!!!! Raised as a princess!! The plot of this movie is so bizarre
I love how much Lillian loves her weird little family. No Judgement Mum
Tag yourself, I'm the "Where's the Baby" Dwarf kjghjghjh
Well, even if it's not something Fiona specifically identified as wanting for herself instead of ruling, I'm happy they get to have their happy little family in the swamp and a nap

Onto: Shrek 4
I will not lie to you, I am mostly watching the fourth Shrek because I went to Shrek trivia and we missed a bunch of questions related to the fourth movie LOL
Why does the animation look so funky in this one? It's giving a bit of Monster by Mistake/direct-to-video sequel
How are Shrek's babies old enough to speak but Donkey's still look the same even though they're at least 9 months older?
Is the plot of this, much like the second Incredibles movie, 'I can't believe that I, a father, have to parent'
I know people have been committing Ogre Microaggressions all day and that he wasn't the first to destroy the cake (Donkey licked and the Pigs ate the first one) but what kind of a father destroys his own children's birthday cake. Get some therapy, Shrek
"I wouldn't expect you to understand, it's not like you're a real Ogre. You spent half your life in a palace." "And the other half locked away in a tower." 1) What a thing to say to someone who became an ogre permanently FOR YOU, and 2) She got a point there, Shrek
"You have three beautiful children, a wife who loves you, friends who adore you. You have everything." Shrek said: God Fiona, have you ever heard of an introvert
Lmao @ this movie retconning the fact that Shrek and Rumplestiltskin have already encountered each other when Arthur took the throne
Shrek representing the very real experience of not reading the terms and conditions every time you sign off:
Tumblr media
"It's me, Shrek, your best friend." After four movies Shrek finally admits that Donkey is his best friend hahaha
Gingey being in a cookie fighting league jkhfkfh on brand for him
Why is there such a large proportion of witches in Rumpelstiltskin's palace hahaha, I get that there were more than a few, but Rumpelstiltskin seems to hang with witches exclusively?
"I ended Fiona's curse." Technically yes, but did u really Shrek? You just ended the switcheroo to her original human form, not the resultant transformation
I gotta say, the soundtrack moments in this film are so far a lot weaker, BUT I do love Shrek rescuing Donkey, His Best Friend Who Doesn't Know Him, and covering his eyes as they go through the roof:
Tumblr media
As if to challenge me on that last point, they had Shrek sing an off-key rendition of "You've Got a Friend," which was delightful
Donkey looks particularly off in this movie and I've just realized it's because of the texture of his fur. It was smooth and growing in a similar direction for three movies, and now it's super coarse and messy
"You should never sign a contract with Rumpelstiltskin." Not Donkey having more common sense than Shrek HAHA
"You gonna have to take me to dinner first." I will take this as Donkey coming out as bisexual
"Fate has delivered us a comrade-in arms and for that we are thankful." The implication that Ogres do have a society and Shrek just chooses to never interact with them bc HIS FAMILY is the only one who loves terrorizing is VERY FUNNY
Tumblr media
I love how Shrek also seems to be one of the smallest Ogres. Little man
I thought the idea of Fiona staying an Ogre was for her to subvert the beauty standard (which like, another conversation, 'cause she looks fine as an ogre) but they had to make a point of her being a sexy warrior ogre HAHA:
Tumblr media
(I can see why this film didn't do that well with audiences)
Why is Fiona the ONLY female ogre? Where are the women!!
"Well, I see who wears the chainmail in your family," said Donkey, both correct about Fiona's fighting prowess and unaware that his wife is a Dragon ten times his size
Took me a sec to realize why the water would be threatening to the witches kjhgjghjgh (not poison, just dealing with Dorthy Dousing Disease)
OHHH Cookie is an Ogre who loves cooking, I had wondered about that in the Shrek trivia
"Shrek, do my babies have hooves or talons?" Donkey is SO excited to be a father!! I love that for him
Lmao @ them suggesting Shrek stresses Puss into being physically fit with the fights he causes
"[Candy]'d work on me." I guess there is another woman Ogre, but not with a scanty outfit! Only Fiona gets Ogregectification
I do love the falling in love while sparring. Couples MMA league:
Tumblr media
I love that Puss in Boots is immediately Team Shrek/Fiona
"You are a catastrophe." "And you, are re-donkulous." [Shared laughter] Hahaha I like that the only obstacle in Puss and Donkey's friendship was they needed to meet sooner to avoid the competition for Shrek's attention
"I can't believe I let this happen, and it's all because of you." In fairness to Shrek, no one could see inside the carriage
They spent the entire animation budget on this frame of Puss in Boots:
Tumblr media
I do like them subverting the expectation that just a kiss would solve their problems when love is what they need
"Then where were you, when I needed you?" Thinking of ways to become an absentee father
"Please stay tuned for a message from our tyrannical dictator." I wish all political announcements were this honest
There is something fun about the circling back to Shrek 1 Mob
"If your life was so perfect, why'd you sign it all away to Rumpelstiltskin in the first place?" "Because I didn't know what I had until it was gone, alright?!" Fiona even reminded you! Get some therapy Shrek
"What are you talking 'bout, cracker?" I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY GOT AWAY WITH PUTTING THIS IN A CHILDREN'S MOVIE (point of clarification: It was said to the Gingerbread Man)
DID PUSS IN BOOTS JUST KILL GINGEY???? AH?????
"I'm just a frightened old man." "Don't listen to him, these Ogres are crafty." "That is your father painted green." Pinocchio finally gets his revenge on his dad for selling him to the Duloc Guards hahahaha
Shrek giving up his freedom to save the other Ogres 😭😭😭😭😭😭
"Nobody's smart but me," said Rumpelstiltskin, while leaving the only two people who could break his spell together to fall in love:
Tumblr media
HAHAHAHAA how could they have Trojan Horse'd Rumpelstiltskin SO QUICKLY after being freed?? It is the SAME NIGHT, 2 MOVIE MINUTES LATER:
Tumblr media
"I'll call you! We're in love." If there's one thing Donkey is willing to do, it's commit to the bit
I love that the way they keep Dragon at bay is both a callback to the first movie and a callback to the phrase Fiona has tied knots with throughout the movie. A rare moment of good writing it in this funny little movie
I guess in lieu of Shrek's other friends knowing him, it's an Ogre-only revolution
"Looks like we're having curly-toed weirdo for breakfast." So ogres eat ogres AND people. Four movies for someone to confirm it explicitly!!
"You know what the best part of today was? I got the chance to fall in love with all over again." A very sweet reflection about a problem Shrek caused himself
Lillian is genuinely so accepting of her bizarre family 💞 She doesn't care if she married a frog or if her grandkids are ogres
Tumblr media
I can't believe they saved two of the best soundtrack songs and this fun character montage of moments throughout the series for the end credits!
Overall, I would say I prefer the first three Shrek movies (and especially the first two) but if they put out another one, I would probably watch it LOL

Hi! Can I request an “interpret” please?
I’m an attorney who got called “legally brunette” in law school (have been compared to Elle Woods but also to Belle from Beauty and the Beast and Hermione) in DC, where I lived for about seven and a half years post-undergrad before I moved to New York just under a year ago. I went to the University of Michigan and definitely did the “work hard play hard” part right - double major with a foreign language but also was on my sorority exec board and was at every football tailgate - and I’m a big fan of the school’s football and basketball teams as well as Ferrari and the rest of Formula 1.
I always say my favorite song is Earth Wind and Fire’s September, but I’m a lifelong dancer and theatre fan plus my parents are big music nerds, so it’s really hard to nail that down. My modern favorites are Harry Styles (yes, I was a big 1D girl, you can scroll back to 2011 on this blog lol), Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, and Kacey Musgraves, but we say the big five with Mom and Dad were EWF, Steely Dan, the Stones, Carole King, and Crosby Stills and Nash.
Hopefully that’s not too much info and thank you so much for doing this! Congratulations!
hi there! of course you can<33

carina's 2k celebration

honestly i cannot see you with anyone but james potter, you truly match his energy so well!
one thing about james is that he loves strong and independent people, and you seem like exactly that. you know what you want to do, you know what to do to get it and how to have fun along the way – that is the exact kind of thing that would catch his attention right away. he is a shared interests and acts of service kind of guy, so for you to attend his rugby matches and for him to help you get through exam weeks with loving back massages, meal prepping and the likes would fit perfectly. i also personally hc that james would be a broadway fanatic, we're talking knows every word to every song type of guy, so that would be another area for you to bond over. your close relationships to your parents would definitely warm james' heart, as he is someone who is big on family, whether that be biological or chosen. james would love to go through life as your hypeman, singing and dancing across the kitchen in the morning as he makes you breakfast to make sure your head is screwed on right for the big day – which is just every day because any day is a big day for james.

@oddsydviscous, @thattransboyaled and I have made a fabulous Ghosts highschool AU!
Thomas: Massive theatre kid, is a member of the drama club and is in every play, plays the acoustic guitar in a sappy band. He carries a satchel full of poetry and writes with an actual calligraphy pen. He has a new crush every week.
Kitty: Eats lunch in the art block every day, has had a long-term secret crush her entire time at the school. He's actually some hapless guy in one of the years above who's never spoken to her, but she's convinced herself that they're in love. Really she just wanted to have a crush, rather than actually liking him. She and Thomas are best friends.
Humphrey: Always hangs out in the library with his nose in a book, massive English nerd (the subject, not the nationality). He runs the school magazine and he's very, very shy.
Captain: Also a theatre kid, although less outrageously so, plays the trumpet in the marching band. He's the one who plays the song at the start of every Remembrance Day assembly. CCF Squadron leader. Good at languages. Also on the fencing team and joint head of the cricket team.
Mary: Hopelessly shy, almost never talks unless she's picked on by a teacher, everyone is shocked if she actually speaks. She runs the gardening club, which has a small but loyal group of members. Sometimes she bakes cookies for her close friend group.
Pat: Joint Head of the student council, also Head Boy. He runs a lot of clubs. Nobody is quite sure how he manages to attend all of them. He's not necessarily popular, but nobody actively dislikes him - after all, he's hard not to like. Except for the teachers, that is - no real reason, he gets good grades, but he talks to anyone who's next to him, no matter how many times they move him.
Julian: Typical bad boy. Poor attendance, throws parties every weekend, sticks gum under the desk, vapes in the Maths block toilets. He and Robin sell sweets behind the bike sheds. He has a lot of special offers on, but only if you're cool enough. He's also obscenely rich, but he just wants the money for extra pocket change.
Robin: Physics nerd, struggles with English. He does Julian's homework for him (he blackmails Julian into paying a fiver for each piece, or else he'll snitch). The two of them dominate the chess club. They essentially have an underground black market for contriband going. Somehow they haven't been caught yet.
Fanny: Head girl, Joint Head of the Student Council. Not very popular. She's the teacher's pet and enforces all the rules, even though it's not her job. Everyone hates her, but she gets good grades, especially in Maths. She doesn't really try in any other subject. Always telling people to tuck their shirts in and stop talking. All the Year 7s are scared of her. Her and Pat organise the discos, and she loves textiles class.
Alison: The beloved student counselor and head of Pastoral Care. The students always go to her for help, partially because she keeps a bowl of sweets on her desk. She also teaches PSHE, and she has a lot of pride flags on her wall. She's really into art, and she met Mike by sitting next to him on an art course. Lets kids do mindful colouring the day before their exams.
Mike: The PE teacher who's nice enough, but he's always on his phone and doesn't let you wear a jacket, even when it's freezing cold and he's wearing a scarf. Still, all the students like him. He'll let you sit off sport if you don't feel up to it.
Havers: Transferred mid-year, was very close with Captain before he left. Basically the only person Captain spoke to. He was one of those kids that everyone knows but nobody has a strong opinion on. He also hung out in the library a lot. He struggled with Maths, French and Spanish but was good at most other things. Very sporty - head of the cricket team alongside Captain, fastest runner, on the table tennis team. Captain is good at languages and liked to tease him about it.
Annie: A student from the Catholic school down the road who taught Mary to speak up for herself a little more. She bunks off school to hang out with Mary. She's in the year above, and so she goes off to university before Mary, but they still call each other a lot, and she comes back to visit.
Bonus info: Pat and Fanny became joint heads of the Council because it was a tie. Pat wanted to do Rock, Paper, Scissors but Fanny said it was undignified. Fanny is also somehow on the PTA, despite not being allowed.
Alison plays music in class and has fairy lights in her office. She takes her class outside for walks in the summertime - but only if they want to go, otherwise they can just sit outside. She passively talks about feminism when the class are doing something boring, punishes those straight boys for the smallest things because she knows how they act around other people. Gets kids to write other things they could say instead of swearing.
Alison's screensaver on her work computer is a wholesome meme. Julian regularly hacks into the school system, although he needs Robin's help to do it. Sometimes he changes his grades using that method. If he does too well in Drama or Art he lowers them so he looks cooler. If he has negative housepoints he removes them and replaces them with positive ones.
