i love it when people apply the whole “humans are space orcs” idea to transformer humans.

jack, miko and raf just doing regular, average day things that make the bots both extremely worried and unsettled gives me so much brainrot.

I got you here. I love this kind of lore/reaction ask.

Each of the children have a particular habit that bothers the team more than anything else. Can it be explained? Not really. All humans do the things they do. But for the bots, it is strange and out of sorts all the same.

Miko always carries around a bottle of sparkling water. She adores the stuff. The team, despite knowing it is not what the name implies, are still horrified with her drinking habits. Not to mention, they can't help but wonder where all the liquid goes. She drinks up to three whole bottles of water a day. In her own words "Hydrate or die." That in it of itself is concerning since the team, while well aware that humans need water, do not know how much they need exactly. The team are down right terrified of her ability to down water like a dry sponge. How can such a small fleshy even consume that much? They aren't entirely sure. Not only that, but if she drinks that much, then are Jack and Rafael getting enough? They can't be.

Not only does Miko down water like a bone dry houseplant, she also drinks just about anything else too. The team have seen her chug sodas which contain Primus knows how many strange chemicals and compounds. They've observed her willingly drink things that no other would on bets, including food that has been blended and watered down just because Jack wanted to see if it was possible for her to down hotdog cafeteria milk cheeto apple slurry.

Yes the team are terrified of humans and their ability to put anything inside themselves and walk it off. But more than any other, they fear Miko. Who knows what she's consumed.

All the kids do it, but Jack is the most notable since when he needs to go to the restroom, he makes it loud and clear mainly so that someone knows to keep an eye on Miko. The team are aware that organics have a need to manually handle removing waste since their systems are rather inefficient, however there is a certain level of mysteriousness surrounding the restrooms. The bots don't want to watch or even know HOW the humans get rid of waste, but they do know that THINGS happen in the restroom that seem to either be painful, emotional, refreshing, or aggravating. No one can really be sure what reaction will follow those who enter the space. Sometimes Jack or one of the other kids will go in there seemingly to just be alone.

It is a strange and almost sacred location where strange happenings occur. Miko went in once with bloody clothes and emerged with a fresh set before Ratchet could figure out what was wrong in the first place. Jack went in once and came out an hour later looking like he'd gone to war after he convinced Arcee to let him stop and get takeout the night before. Rafael took his charger and computer in there and hogged the space for a while to get away from the others once. The team does not know what happens in there, but it is mildly concerning since it either repairs or breaks a person.

Bulkhead theorizes that its a pocket dimension like the shadow zone. Ratchet refuses to think about it. Optimus will say nothing about whatever he knows. Arcee and Bee assume its a safe haven or sorts and Wheeljack is almost certain they keep weapons in there. Ultra Magnus and Smokescreen both agree that the restroom is simply a quiet space where a human can deal with personal issues in peace.

No bot is willing to try and confirm anything since humans flip out at any attempts to view the supposedly sacred ground.

Rafael is generally pretty good about flying under the radar most of the time, but he has a habit that has caught the team's attention. Humans have been noted doing what they can to clean themselves on their own. Its rather ineffective to clean one's own venting openings with digits considering the sheer amount of germs involved, but it is not out of the question to do so when a cleaning cloth is not available. Rafael occasionally and quietly trying to clean his nose is not what bothers the team.

No what horrifies them is the goop that he pulls out after his attempt at cleaning. What Ratchet has studied states that the goop is referred to by a number names, but is commonly called snot. Its the natural germ catcher humans have, but it still unsettles the team whenever Rafael quietly blows a few or when one of the others grabs a tissue and makes a rather disgusting sound as they try to clear their airways.

The goop reminds the team of any number of horrible things. But the sheer amount of GROSS within a small amount of the stuff has left the team all gagging whenever they find the stuff around base. Rafael is usually good about being clean, but sometimes he gets lazy and will use his chair to hide his cleaning attempts. Bumblebee has almost purged a few times seeing the marks on the chair from where Rafael may or may not have wiped his fingers.

Is he twelve? Yes. Is he fully mature? No. That much is evident just by looking at his chair.

[sharksandjays]

reminder jay and cole went out like a married couple to buy toys for wu, failed miserably, and decided to bring him a motorcycle instead

[byler-alarmist]

I'm crazy about the fact that Byler were sitting so close on the bed in the first bedroom scene their legs were basically touching and they started flirting and blushing until they were interrupted

Then in the next bedroom scene, Mike shut the door behind them lmao

thinking about how the AI trope is used in Danganronpa 2. thinking about how Usami and Chiaki were made for One Reason and had to find a way to work around that. thinking about how Chiaki breaks her programming as much as possible while still navigating within its Limitations. thinking about how Usami called Chiaki a Miracle because of it. thinking about how the only times Chiaki really gets annoyed with Usami is when Usami can't break out of her pre-determined routine too, because...

i'm also thinking about how AI Junko is just a bad facsimile of the real thing: can only do another killing game, half-heartedly, with only a single facet of her personality. "it's all so Hopeless." a boring routine by a boring subroutine. AI Junko, defeated by Usami returning to the Neo World Program with the ability to actually Protect these kids. these kids whose entire beings had been shattered so thoroughly by a girl's death that they filled in the gaps of a virtual world with her love. these kids and these AIs

the way the episode started with touya screaming and crying because his flames wouldn't go out and he didn't want to die--and it ended with shoto putting out his flames even as dabi tried to kill them both with them--i am. inconsolable.

Hey, guys? Stop doing this. Authors are not going to acquiesce to demands like this. We're just going to shut you down. It only serves to show examples of what not to do.

If you really want to see a whole fic showing 03 Raphael as his soft insecure cuddly baby boy baby side, either pay us, or write it yourselves. Actually, just write it yourselves, I would miss deadline. I'm tired and in way too much pain to negotiate.

Also, taking bets on if this anonymous Guest is the same anon who threatened me on Tumblr over my essays on the Lead Pipe Incident. Because I didn't talk about Raph being so babygirl and Mikey being his bully, because I related Raph to bullies in my youth. And this particular fic here is a 2003 AU of my own 2012 AU. In which everyone goes through necessary therapeutic catharsis in ways canon never did. It's Alternate Universe Turtles all the way down.

(I even wrote my own crossover with 03 in my own 12 AU at my co-author's request which inspired her to write this fic. It was a neat circle. If that isn't commitment to the bit I don't know what is.)

[zavbees]

Ok so I've recently been listening to the Little Nightmares soundtrack again and damn I miss these games. So have some art lmao

RK has an emotional support gnome, Six get to brood everywhere, and Mono gets the racoon hat because you cannot tell me this boy isn't feral. Both him and Six are unhinged just one is better at hiding it.

(also this is from like a year and a half, two years ago, but it's my favorite damn picture I made for this game. From an au of mine lol)

Merlin and Mordred's relationship in season 5 was so funny. I mean, Merlin just kept trying to get rid of him.

Like:

Arthur: Unfortunately, it looks like this mission is going to require a sacrifice. I'm the king, I have some responsibilities, so...

Merlin: Mordred volunteers.

Mordred: Dude...

Or:

Merlin: Sire, I think he's dead. Maybe we should burn his body.

Arthur:

Arthur: Merlin, they just punched him.

Or:

Mordred: listen, Merlin... I have this feeling that you don't like me that much.

Merlin: what—why shouldn't i? Are you fucking stupid?

More kids stories:

Me: Are you happy?

Preschooler: Yeah. Miss V (teacher) is happy. And old.

Me, cracking up: Did you just say she’s happy and old?

Pk: Yes.

We also have two Kindergartners who have been in class together since they started in the early childhood program. The little girl is only slightly obsessed with the little boy. She’ll tell him where to sit and answer questions for him. It’s cute, but we also have to remind her that she needs to let him answer for himself and make his own choices.

The other day, she was drawing after a small group and said it was a picture of her and the boy holding hands. And then she giggled.
