[Fictober24] Day 14: "Did you stick to the plan?"
Tumblr media
Prompt: "Did you stick to the plan?"
Fandom: LOTRO
Pairings: Wulfwryn/Raenor, Faewryn/Eldarion
Warnings: None
Summary: Faewryn anxiously awaits Eldarion's return from his first skirmish ride with the Minas Tirith guard. Years of experience waiting for her mother to return from such skirmishes doesn't make it any easier to wait.
--
Faewryn paced the battlements, tapping her knuckles in a frenetic beat against her lips as her eyes locked on the horizon. The sun was beginning to dip low on the horizon. She’d kept her eyes on that too--watching as it inched lower and lower with the passing hours. 
They were late. 
By now the gates were supposed to be opening with the welcoming cheers of a guard patrol returning safely. Her mother was supposed to have ridden back through those gates hours ago. She knew her father was worried; he’d left her side where he’d kept her company under the guise of getting things ready for a much needed comfortable homecoming. But Faewryn knew it was because her ada didn’t want her to pick up on his worry. 
Did you stick to the plan? She thought to herself, not for the first time that afternoon or even for the first time since the sun took its first taste of evening. 
For it was not just her mother on this patrol. No, her mother had done this hundreds of times. Her trotting through those gates, no matter when, was practically a guarantee. 
No, much to her distress Eldarion had joined this patrol. His first ever foray into what securing the area around his city was like. And he was late. 
They’d promised each other he’d come home safe and that nothing would go wrong. That if he were to ride with Wulfwryn then everything would be fine. 
Faewryn swore she saw the sun tick down another notch. The shadows seemed to deepen. She began chewing on her thumbnail. 
Deeper and deeper the shadows grew, inching across the battlements until--
There! The gates began to creak open. It was too quiet as the horses rode through, the ringing of their shod hooves too clear on the stone pathways. 
Faewryn’s heart plummeted to the ground and she took off running. 
“Ada!” she cried, running into her father at the staircase just above the gate. He had his hands braced on the stone wall, breathless as Faewryn was. 
Though she knew that her father did not age the same as her mother did, she swore with each scare such as this more weariness was added onto him. 
He reached out and braced her shoulder with his hand, giving a reassuring squeeze. 
“It’s alright, henig.” He soothed, drawing her close into a half hug. She sank against him, feeling weak in the knees. 
Five summers or twenty summers, the times where things did not go as planned did not get any easier. 
“They’re okay? Why aren’t they here yet?” Faewryn worried her thumbnail again until her father squeezed her shoulder. She dropped her hands to work into her skirts instead. 
“They’re saying they got held up at the gate to report.” Raenor said, taking a long breath as if to remind himself as well that things were okay. “From what I hear, they met a small skirmish but are back no worse for wear.” 
It was longer than Faewryn would like until the battered group of guards trudged up from the gate, their horses getting swept away to the stables when their feet had barely transitioned from stirrup to stone. She scanned the group in their black cloaks and white tree emblems, their shining swords and shields. 
She picked out Eldarion at the center of the group, dirt spattered but upright. A group of veteran guards stood around him, shoulder-slapping and saying something that involved miming swords and cheering gestures. 
She picked her way down the stairs and made her way over. Eldarion found her immediately, a sheepish expression flitting across his face. 
She shoved his shoulder, brows drawn low, “What happened to the plan, Eldarion?” 
He rubbed the back of his neck with a chuckle, “It went a little upside down. But we made it back!” 
She tried to keep a stern look, but failed. He smiled back at her, obviously pleased with the success of his first skirmish. He’d talked about it for years, trained with her mother for years to reach the point where Wulfwryn would finally let him ride with the guard. 
“I’m glad you made it home safe.” she said and he pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

Coroika Pirate AU part 2 (?)
Alright we’re back again :D I have a bit more info on the pirate AU which I’m gonna ramble about ig 
Here is part 1 of the AU if you’d like to read that first! 
I didn’t really get a lot of other character sketches done, other than Rider--- So i guess in this post I’ll be talking about him & some other characters in this AU! :D There won’t be any drawings in this post unfortunately, just more stuff about the characters :’) 
Enjoy :D 
(the infodump is after the cut, this might be another long post lmao----) 
Rider:
I might try to make a full character thing eventually--- I just haven’t had the chance to draw it out. So, I guess I’ll post that separately :/ Anyways! 
He’s technically a part of the S4 pirates, but he’s not on board with them. He’s an ally to them, but they’re not in the same ship.
Captain of the Chartreuse Pirates, which are another band of fearsome pirates. He’s also friends with the Blue Pirates (Goggles, Bobble Hat, Headphones, Specs) 
The Chartreuse Pirates is such a cool name fr
Sworn enemies with Captain Gloves (it’s more of a rivalry between the two, nothing serious)
He’s also somewhat well known across the seas for being as strong as the S4 pirates 
So basically, he was captured by Emperor’s army (Emperor’s family rules a kingdom in this AU) and separated from his crew. He manages to escape with a few injuries. After running away for some time, he eventually collapses somewhere because of his injuries. Aloha finds him and recognizes him as Captain Rider. After asking Skull what they should do, they decided to bring him aboard since his crew was nowhere to be found.
Rider wakes up a few hours later and he freaks out because he’s in the middle of the ocean aboard Captain Skull’s ship and his crew probably thinks he died or something and now he’s probably going to actually die because Captain Skull whatever evil pirates grrr and he has no boat and he can’t swi--
Anyways, Rider tries to escape but you can’t exactly get too far with a twisted ankle. Aloha found it pretty amusing though, hysterical even. 
Mask manages to catch Rider, sits him down, and gets him to chill out. He explains what happened and a whole “we’re not gonna hurt you” spiel
Eventually the S4 helps Rider reunite with his crew and as gratitude, Rider and the S4 become allies and help each other out whenever one needs it.
Rider is trying to be a kinder person
He’s pretty good at playing cards, specifically Blackjack and Speed.
Gloves:
Captain of the Dualie Pirates, a crew of pirates known for using two weapons. Two swords or two guns-- because they’re cool like that B) 
Captain Gloves is fairly new to the whole “pirate” biz, he thinks they’re cool and wanted in on the action overseas. 
He thinks Captain Skull is cool and wants to meet him someday, although his crew is HIGHLY opposed to this (they could probably die)
He also thinks the Wireglass Pirates are cool too and wants to be friends with their captain.
His crew also HIGHLY opposes this, as they are definitely going to die if they ever cross paths with the Wireglass Pirates. 
Gloves is bummed that he can’t meet the S4 pirates, but is still hopeful he’ll run into them eventually.
He’s friends with the Blue Pirates & Captain Hachi 
He’s fiercely competitive, he doesn’t take losing very lightly.
He doesn’t have any scars of his own-- yet, but he thinks they’re cool 
Gloves is friends with Prince, and sometimes sneaks into the kingdom to visit him 
He’s rather clumsy even though he tries to look cool
Emperor & Prince: 
(I put them under the same header since there’s not much about either of them) 
Emperor’s family rules over a kingdom, Emperor is next in line for the throne and he’s still learning to be a king alongside his younger brother.
Prince often sneaks out of the palace to wander around the town square. His brother actually knows about this, but chooses not to tell their parents. 
Emperor doesn’t really like pirates, but he does know a few of them. 
Emperor is aware that Gloves sneaks in to visit Prince, but he chooses not to do anything about it since his brother seems to enjoy Captain Gloves’ company.
Prince helped Rider escape after learning Rider knew Captain Gloves. 
The Wireglass Pirates: 
Everyone knows to stay out of the Wireglass Pirates’ way, as they are some of the most powerful pirates to patrol the waters. Even the S4 pirates steer clear of them. 
They supposedly got their name from their Captain, but it’s not really known where the name came from.
The Wireglass Pirates will try to take any ship they encounter, regardless of who it is. Very few survive their raids.
There are some rumors that the Wireglass Pirates serve Emperor, which explains why he hasn’t ordered anyone to stop them. However, it could also be because a lot of sailors are absolutely terrified of them.
Ocho is thought to be a part of this crew, but nobody really knows for sure. He’s mostly found away from the crew and hanging out by himself.
Ocho sometimes interacts with the S4 and Captain Rider. 
The S4 could probably beat them, but they don’t want to risk trying.
The Wireglass Pirates are also in possession of these things called “Black Labels” which temporarily disable weapons. But only the Captain is in possession of these. 
“Black Labels” are illegal and supposed to be outlawed in the seas. Not a lot of pirate crews use them. 
If Black Labels were stuck onto a pirate, they are unable to use their special ability for a little bit. 
aaaaand, I think I’ll just end the infodump here in case it gets too long to read :’] Thank you for reading! :D

ari should i watch the apothecary diaries? i've been kinda interested in it for a while + you keep hyping it up... today i woke up with the opening playing in my head
i agree with what you said about jinshi, his behavior reminds me a little of cult leader geto's antics... he's so pathetic... (my all time most favorite genre of men after motherly). he's also so so beautiful and the lining of his outer thing (sorry i don't know what it's called... fake chinese moment) is really similar to the sash on geto's gojo kesa... which i think is sooooo beautiful as well
n my friend said i'm realllllyy similar to maomao so this will probably be a self-indulgent watch for me... read her backstory and it's making me so sad but she comes across as so strong... i'm already so attached to her it's not even funny. also i didn't know your whole family was into anime!! that's so wholesome and cute..
about the kenny plushes, they don't sell very well (especially in the jp fandom!) so you can get them for sooo cheap. you can use a proxy if you really want to! i use sendico and the shipping isn't bad! i know they ship to a lot of smaller european countries too ^ ^
i can NOT believe they got lost at sea. omfg i am fuming for you that is so very sad. we should track down the ship. that lost it. it's negligence.
are you talking about these? https://jp.mercari.com/item/m92282289388 i actually have the cat plush one that's fairly similar! https://jp.mercari.com/item/m20944297256 N ABOUT THE MERCH I JUST.......... ORDERED A LOOK UP.... finally found geto's for a reasonable price :( now i just have to wait for golden week to end for it to shipp,.w;...... AND THIS ONE https://jp.mercari.com/item/m89522427367 where he looks so hot that i'm literally about to die
thank you so much for listening to my rambles!! :D <3 🌖🌖
🌖 ANONNNNNNNN
YOU SHOULDDDD YOU SHOULD!!!!!!! it’s super duper duper good!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the plot is amazing and the animation is gorgeous and the characters are so so charming…. JINSHI IS LITERALLY CULT LEADER GETO just. less evil. and more flirty. he’s kinda like…. if you mixed cult leader geto and teen toru in one big bowl. BUT HE’S GENUINELY VERY SIMILAR TO HOW I PICTURE CULT!GETO BEING W A CRUSH…. like….. in an au where there aren’t any complications and you’re on his side. i think he’s soooo silly and bratty and pouty. but he wants you to lean on him so badly.
he makes me insane btw motherly/pathetic men are the actual standard ANYWAYYY MAOMAO. i adore her!!!!! just as much as jinshi!!!!!! 🥺 AND WE’RE TWINNING SO HARD 🌖 ANONNNNN i see myself as super similar to her too 😭😭 just. the way she acts…. but she rlly is so lovely and funny and soso strong!!!! she’s a wonderful character……
AND YES KINDA PHDKDJ … honestly it’s mostly just. me and my two older brothers. but my mom likes manga!!! i think she’s still caught up on detective conan to this day…. the amount of chapters are frankly really silly i can’t believe it’s still ongoing 💀 BUTTT i do force my older sis to watch anime w me sometimes :3 yesterday i made her binge dungeon meshi w me!!! i’m still not nearly finished w it (and all the episodes aren’t out yet!!) but i recommend it SO strongly it’s so feel-good but also so???? idk. it’s special. and i adore laios like nothing else…. mr puppydog…….
BUT WAHHHHHH :((((((( kenny being neglected…. sniffle……… i tried using that site but it does Not work for me lmao it won’t let me register my credit card :’3 and i’m worried since i can only write my name and adress using english letters…… the kenny stuff rlly was so cheap grrr i’m mad. but oh well!!!
AND YES EXACTLY IT’S THOSE CATS!!!! 🥺🥺 wahhhhh i need the goken set so BADLY just look at them…. the meowmeows ever…….
Tumblr media
all the merch you linked…. GRRRRR you are tempting me so hard rn 😭😭 THAT ONE OFFICIAL GETO ART. need him so bad. he looks soooooo fucking good it should be illegal…… i’m also sooooo jealous you found geto’s look up!!!!! i need to hunt him down!!!!!!!!!!!! but i can’t spend any more money on merch this month…. sobs……..

pretending you’re not his s/o. [1]
Tumblr media
A/n: happy Thursday!! whew, the week is almost over thank goodness. I hope you’re all doing well and thank you for being patient while I knock out these requests <333 Scaramouche’s is long for obvious reasons (I simp) ALSO thank you for 800 followers, I hit that milestone yesterday ahagdwcsh omg I’m growing so much wtf. thank you all :) <33 
Summary: the boys having to pretend their s/o is their secretary, maid, friend, etc. (someone other than their s/o)
Parings: Childe/Reader, Venti/Reader, Kaeya/Reader, Diluc/Reader, Albedo/Reader, Aether/Reader, Xiao/Reader, Chongyun/Reader, Xingqiu/Reader, Scaramouche/Reader, Razor/Reader, Bennett/Reader, Zhongli (fem and gn mixed)
Warnings: violence tbh (in Scara’s especially chile), swearing, crack, angst?, fluff
Word count: 1.7k
Requested by bestie @mintydump​ 
Tumblr media
Refuses (tells people you’re his s/o and compromises the mission)
Tumblr media
Childe: for some odd reason, he was sent out by the Tsaritsa to retrieve a man who was impersonating one of the eleven harbingers and you were to go along. she said men were much more willing to follow along, if there was a beautiful woman promising affection, etc. the only problem was, to win over the impersonator, you had to pretend to be Childe’s co-worker. he hated this idea, and the minute he left, he reassured you he would not call you his partner unless it was romantically. so hell yeah, he’ll compromise the mission and will return without the impersonator. he does not care, you’re not his co-worker. he’ll just be like, “sorry, next time send me alone.”
Venti: jean why... ofc you'd be great company duh, but why did you need to be his babysitter on this expedition?!? sure, Venti may look like a child, but this was stupid! he’s loose-lipped anyways, so he’ll accidentally let it slip to whoever that you’re not his babysitter and that you’re his s/o. he’ll be like, “oops.” with the biggest shit-eating grin. he doesn’t care though, you’re not his babysitter grrr. 
Razor: he also accidentally lets it slip you’re his s/o. hunters were after him and his friends, you included (you’re human, he considers you family though, therefore wolf) and he just yells, “don’t touch my mate, GRRR” before ya know, ending them lmao. it never crossed his mind that maybe it wasn’t in his/your best interest to say what you were to him. other hunters could be nearby listening and then target you at a later date. but, tbh he will worry about that another day. as long as you’re safe now, he’ll always be there to protect you. 
Tumblr media
Refuses (he doesn’t refuse the mission, but he refuses calling you someone other than his s/o/he won’t say if you’re his s/o or not.) 
Tumblr media
Kaeya: he definitely won’t be calling you anything other than his s/o but he also won’t offer this mission to anyone else. he’s more than capable and he can do this without you having to be in danger too. if someone asks who you are, he’ll just cooly respond with, “none of your business.” and move on. he’ll use that whenever someone asks who you are. even if someone gets a little pushy, he won’t use anything to clue them of your relationship.
Xingqiu: he was supposed to borrow steal a book from someone. he needed it for personal purposes lol; it would be great for his collection. and from his understanding, the person who has it wasn’t using it. though you were confused on why he needed to break into somewhere to retrieve it. you just happened to be with him when he broke in, he says it was an accident that you were there, but tbh it’s all part of the thrill and his mischievousness. despite Chongyun warning him that he shouldn’t have brought you, he still did. and when the person who owns the book whips out a sword and then asks why you were brought along if you seemed timid and unreluctant to steal, Xingqiu’s response is, “well she’s my girlfriend! duh.” cue deadpan. legit no hesitation.
Scaramouche: this mission is happening no matter what. the Tsaritsa’s life is on the line; highly trained assassins from all over Teyvat were sent into Snezhnayan territory to kill her. she could protect herself, but Scaramouche was feeling feverish for battle; he was one of the more unhinged and dangerous harbingers, she entrusted this task upon him. he never turned down a mission. plus, it’s your fault you’re even here. why are you here again!? he left you home in Inazuma days ago. also... who the hell was looking after your daughter if not you...?? when you caught up with him once he was well away from Liyue Harbor’s docks (so he couldn’t force you to get back onto the ship, smart) you told him you weren’t some housewife and you missed the thrill of adventure, so you snuck on the ship too. he wasn’t sure how you got on in the first place without alerting The Kanjobugyo (you’ve snuck out before, so he’s told them not to let you leave, though he assumed you used your former title of a Fatui to gain clearance) let’s just say he’s not happy you’re here, but he’s not turning back now, he’s determined to end this. in the end, he kills all the assassins (ofc). on your way back to Liyue Harbor, arguing about why you’re here (you’re losing), another assassin comes out of the shadows; intent on killing the both of you. he’d managed to grab the end of your hair in his fist and was going to slit your throat. Scaramouche will say, “don’t touch my wife, you insolent scum.” he doesn’t have a problem telling those who have a death wish of your intimate relationship, because they’ll die in the end anyway; therefore to him, it’d be like they never knew. 
Zhongli: not many people know you’re his s/o anyways, so if he has something to do, especially dangerous you’re not coming along. he’ll make sure of that. on missions or something, he refuses to call you anything other than his s/o, but if he can’t/wants to keep it private he’ll call you by your name. if you’re facing off against someone, he’ll be like, “y/n, please watch out, I’ll handle this.” he never wants to put you in danger, and tbh even someone threatening who knows your name is a risk, but if they ever found out that you were not only his s/o but the s/o of an Archon? yeah, you’d be on a hit list just like him. 
Tumblr media
Accepts (he will do this and won’t ask any questions)
Tumblr media
Diluc: sorry y’all, but once this is discussed in full and you agree, he’s going to accept it. this mission is important. it’s not often people travel into Inazuma, so he was very lucky his wine is sold there and that he has a popular, well-known name. shipments of his wine weren’t making it into the borders and he was to find the culprit behind it; someone was stealing obviously. you were to go along with a few other soldiers and when jean told him it would be safer to call you his maid and not his fiancé, he agreed. you wouldn’t be a target that way. if anyone wonders why he took his maid, he’ll just say, “she’s to travel everywhere with me.” don’t worry, after the missions over he’ll reassure you he doesn’t think of you as his maid, definitely not. he’ll apologize profusely. “please don’t think of yourself that way, you’re not my maid, I adore you very much, sweetheart.”
Xiao: he already doesn’t go around calling you his wife or telling just anyone, only the Archons know and the fallen Yaksha once knew (you’re one of the female Yaksha) so being talked into this wasn’t a big deal at all. before, he didn’t run around Liyue telling people about your relationship because you both enjoyed the privacy. but now, having to call you his fellow Yaksha who’s been working alongside him for centuries, kinda feels like he’s ignoring or not acknowledging you. sure, you do hold the same titles (Yaksha) and yes you’ve known eachother for centuries, but really, you’ve been together for centuries. if you’re not bothered, then he doesn’t mind. but if you are? he’s very apologetic and will repay you in some way. “you’re not a weakling, you have no reason to worry.” he needs to do this task, he’ll never turn away from the people and if you have to be known as your Yaksha title to him and others, so be it. 
Chongyun: it’s not that he doesn’t want to call you his s/o. it’s just he’s a quiet guy and never has told anyone about your relationship; only Xingqiu knows. so he has no problem introducing you as his friend to absolute strangers, especially if you’re okay with it. if you’re not and tell him, he’ll be sure to never call you a friend again. he’s really looking out for your safety, people can be two-faced as he’s learned from Xingqiu’s fantasy books. he wants to protect and keep you safe, and if you need to be addressed as his friends a few times then that’s how it’s going to go. 
Tumblr media
Accepts (he’ll accept but he has so many questions on why and hates it)
Tumblr media
Albedo: he will accept if there’s a logical reason. for example, if you absolutely need to come because you’re his assistant or something and can offer your expertise, he will accept. but if you have no need? you’re not coming, please stay home. the whole time, he hates this. yes, you’re his assistant irl, but you’re his s/o, not just an assistant. it makes him sick that he has to call you that tbh, even if it’s your occupation. but it’s necessary for a lot of reasons you two have already discussed. after the mission is complete, he’s never going to stop apologizing. “love, please do not take what I said to heart, you’re not just an assistant.”
Aether: he has to be talked into this a lot. once kaeya and jean tell him the seriousness and importance of seeing his sister again, especially after all they’ve discovered about her, he’ll agree. no matter how much he hates calling you his travel partner, he has to. his sister has turned to the dark side for whatever reason and this meeting already is risky enough. if she finds out you’re his girlfriend, who knows how she’ll react; she’s very unpredictable now, a little unhinged even. but it does hurt to have to call you that, let’s be real. he never wants to say or hear that ever again.
Bennett: he knows he’s quite unfortunate, so you going with him on expeditions is just stupid and you could face something awful due to his bad luck. you go either way though, what a good s/o :) he almost slips a few times, especially facing off against a few lowlife Fatui. but then you remind him of the dangers of doing that and you’re immediately just a friend/member of Benny's Adventure Team. pls, he hates this so much, like why can’t he call you what you are?!? he’s constantly like, “well why can’t I just say you’re my s/o already? they won’t harm you as long as I’m here!” ?!?!?!? HE JUST DID?!?!?!?!

Pride write day 1 - Farm
Prompt : Farm
Ship: Farm/Horror
Fandom: Undertale
SFW
For general audiences
Enjoy
Farm looked up from cutting up the vegetables for the stew and smiled gently. Looking out, he saw his mate sitting in the chicken coop with the hens, softly petting them. He definitely wasn't expecting this when he ran into the big ol brute all those years ago…
"SANS, ONE OF YOUR SCARECROWS FELL DOWN AGAIN." Papyrus huffed as he passed, wheeling this years harvest of melons to the house.
" 'course it did. i'll get to it eventually, bro."
"NOW SANS." 
" 'm goin, 'm goin." He pushed himself off the ground and stuck a new piece of wheat in his mouth. He sighed, mumbling something about how the scarecrows weren't doing anything much. He went over to the thing, ready to lug it off the ground when he froze. Whatever that was, it was not a scarecrow. He gently nudged it with his foot.
"uhh…hey pap! i don't think this is one of our scarecrows." He yelled, a bit wary of the thing.
"PICK IT UP ANYWAYS!" 
"i think something died on it. it's covered in blood…and fur." 
"OK, FINE, I'M COMING," He jogged over there. "NOW WHAT IS SO GR- OH MY GOODNESS, SANS, WHAT IS THAT THING!!" He jumped away from it.
"look, i dunno, just help me move it so the coyotes don't come. we just got rid of them."
Suddenly, a low growl came from the thing.
"holy- it's alive." Sans moved some of the mottled fur and gasped. "papyrus, go get the first aid kit. it's a skeleton."
Papyrus nodded and ran back to the house.
"heya bud, it's gonna be alright. my brother and i are gonna help you. don't give up on us, pal. ok?"
He didn't wake fully till about 3 days after they found him. And when he did, wooh boy, was it chaos.
"heya bud, how's ya doin? i suspect not too well, ya haven't woken up just yet. but you will, won't ya." He calmly spoke, chewing his wheat stem and petting the injured skeletons' back when the skeletons' eyesocket lit up blood red. He growled and kicked Sand off of him, sending the poor farmer across the room and he skittles into a corner growling.
Sans grunted on impact, his eye glowing in his anger, but he forced himself to calm down as he saw the fearful look on the monsters' face. "woah there buddy, calm down. ain't gonna hurt ya. i promise, ok? just calm on down." He slowly approached the monster.
The monster just growled and shrunk into the wall further.
"my name's sans. what's yours?"
The monster growled, seeming to want to speak but unable to.
"ok, grrr. nice to meet ya. let me guess, it's spelt like mckenzie? nah, 'm just kiddin ya. gosh, ya look straight from a horror movie, don't ya."
The skeletons' growling subsided and he leaned forward slightly, sniffing Sans hand.
"heh, alright then. can ya understand me, grrr?" 
He nodded.
"can ya talk?"
He shook his head.
"write?"
Nod.
"alrighty, give me a second then." He summoned a pen and notepad. "what's your actual name, because whoever names their kid 'grrr' needs to be arrested by the name police."
He laughed a little and wrote: 'My name is Sans too.'
It took Sans a bit to read it, as the handwriting was really shaky. "sans? well, we both can't be sans…ya must be one of them city folk, they always duplicate names. us farmers are unique with our names, ya see. however, not as unique as grrr. can i call ya that?" 
He made a wheezing noise that led to coughing. After a bit, he wrote something else down. 'No, don't call me Grrr. I look from a scary movie, you say? What about that?'
"scary? ya want me to call ya scary?"
'No, Horror. Can I call ya Farm? You said you were a farmer.'
"sure. nice to meet ya, horror."
Horror nodded and flashed a sharp smile.
Yeah…definitely not what he expected. Now the big guy had settled. Had recovered. Slowly, over the course of a few years, gained weight, gained magic, gained mental capacity. He still couldn't talk too well, but he was getting there! About 4 years ago, he had learned enough words to ask him out. Last year he could say enough to struggle through a proposal speech (Farm had totally broken down crying and had said yes.) He came a long, long way since then. They both had, if the large bump that was the farmers' belly said something about the whole ordeal.
He jumped surprised when he felt big arms wrap around him. "oh, well howdy darlin'. sorry, musta not heard ya come in."
"All…good." He whispered, nuzzling his smaller mate. "What are you…thinking about?"
"oh nothin'. nothin at all darlin. crop is comin over tomorrow, just as a heads up."
"C…crop?"
"my brother, remember?"
He nodded and kissed his fiance on the head, purring gently as he did so.

Hey Rai, I know you love jomike
So I'm wondering why you love jomike/pos
Like infodump everything, I wanna know more abt jomike
skjhfkjlasfhkjlasfhkjlasfhkj you’ve enabled my full potential hehe:) (not really, my fingers might get a little sore from the typing lol) 
N ee waaayyyyssss 
Jomike 
Jojo and Mike 
They are the soft boy ship in my context 
Bcs i need some cute ‘shy one who’s kinda naive lol but we still love them’ dating the ‘pretty chaotic cool and kinda flirty one’ 
oh but pLEASE mike can get shy or blushy around jojo and i live for those moments where my brain makes up a scenario like that 
Like this one time i imagined mike giving jojo some flowers for a special occasion and it was Jojo’s favorite so he kisses Mike on the cheek and Mike blushed and looked like a cute tomato 
anyways thinking abt the all the dumb naive pining is amazing:) 
Bcs jojo is scared and naive abt all this 
and while Mike is more experienced, he has never felt this many butterflies over a n y o n e before. 
Mike will try to be cool and all around him but then he ended up doing something stupid :O 
He ends up going to Ike to vent abt how stupid he is like 
“I can’t believe I did that, I’m so stupid!” 
“You’ve been stupid since the day you were born but thank goodness you’re starting to notice it” 
and it’s incredibly funny bcs you know Jojo wouldn’t even think that whatever he did was stupid. He’d just thought it was funny and probably move on 
Cuddly bfs ajlsfhljakhfkjahflkjahf 
ok uhh i’m kinda self projecting but imagine them going on inline skating dates around Central Park or the neighborhood ajhfjkahfjahfjaf
Or hiking dates along with Mike’s cat Dixeleta bcs she’s an outdoor cat 
obv Dixeleta has grown to like Jojo more than Mike along their dates and Mike is jealous because after getting his cat stolen, his boyfriend was also stolen so grrr but is ok  
bcs there are times where they like just chilled at home while cuddling Dixeleta 
that also reminds me !!! 
Mike’s phone background is Jojo wearing one of Mike’s hoodies after sleeping over his place while cuddling Dixeleta. Is cute !! he posed with a smile and Mike’s smiles anytime he sees his background:) 
Jojo’s phone background is a picture he took on their inline skating dates where the sun was pretty (golden hour type of stuff) and Mike was pulling him along. He took the picture right as Mike was looking back with a laugh 
and let me tell you how much i love the thought of how gentle Mike is with Jojo 
their first kiss was very innocent. Jojo had no idea what to do which is what to do or how to do it. So Mike was patient and gentle with him plsssss
 Jojo was still afraid of holding Mike’s hand oml- 
they also do some romantic slow dancing in their room to their songs:) 
they’ve named ‘Everybody Wants To Rule The World’ by Tears For Fears their couple song :) 
Bcs let me tell you 
High school senior prom and they went there together. The first time Jojo felt ok to hold Mike’s hand in front of other ppl. and Crutchie was singing on the stage that time. The song was “Everybody Wants To Rule The World’ and they slow danced with the other couples on the dance floor it was so cuteakjhfaljkhfkja
Jojo hid his face in the crook of Mike’s shoulder half the time bcs he was blushing so damn hard 
their other song is ‘Teenage Dreams’ by Katy Perry bcs one time Mike got on the piano and serenaded Jojo with that song 
it was a public cafe at midnight. Jojo was trying so hard not to blush 
And then their third song is ‘Better Than Words’ by One Direction 
Mike grabbed his guitar and started playing that song to him while they were just cuddling in bed one sunday morning 
ahjfhakjfh 
anyways that is all from my infodumping bcs my fingers got sore alr hehe:) ok love you /p thanks for giving me the chance to infodump hehe 
also i saw your other ask abt jomike i’ll get to that eventually but rn my plate is full so i haven’t done anything to it:)

Things Are As They Are
Viri comes out to Vette. Also posted in Sithy Snippets on Ao3. Some of Viri, Vette and Tivva's dialogue is taken or paraphrased from the Sith Warrior Chapter Two companion mission for Vette.
Tumblr media
The Promenade is always busy. It’s 0215 in the morning by Vette’s chrono, and it might as well be mid-afternoon, for all the people clustered around the plaza. The aromas of sweat and spice are on the slight breeze, and Vette wrinkles her nose. Nar Shaddaa just never smells good. 
As busy as the Promenade is, Vette has no trouble navigating through the crowd. People tend to scurry out of the way as she approaches, thanks to the tall Sith lord walking through her side. Viri’s face is neutral and her hands are relaxed, hanging freely at her sides. Her lightsaber is sheathed on her hip. She’s chosen the least intimidating armor she owns for this excursion, and seems to be making an effort not to be frightening. The clouds of black and red Force power that often surround her are dormant and the air around her is calm. And yet, people still blanch and scurry away when she approaches. It must be hard, to have everyone run away from you, Vette thinks to herself. She sneaks a look at Viri. Nothing escapes the Sith lord; her blue eyes immediately fix on Vette’s face. ”Are you all right?” ”I am,” Vette replies, shuffling her feet. “Just…” ”Nervous.” ”Who wouldn’t be?” Vette stops short and takes a deep breath. They have reached the docked pleasure barge on the Promenade; the coordinates they’ve divined from a nervous contact at the Slippery Slope Cantina. The location of Vette’s sister, Tivva. Viri stops at the entrance. ”I’m happy to wait for you, if you think I’d complicate things.” ”No,” Vette says quickly, motioning for Viri to follow her onto the barge. “I’d appreciate it if you joined me.” ”Who are we looking for?” Viri’s eyes are already scanning the crowd, studying the faces at each slot machine and table. ”She’s blue, like me. She was always tall, even as a kid. Beautiful. She didn’t have any tattoos when I last saw her, but it’s been years…what if I don’t recognize her? What if she doesn’t know me?” Vette’s mouth goes dry. ”I don’t think anyone could forget you,” Viri smiles slightly. “We could start with…the woman holding her chain, as they say. Crystal, wasn’t it?” ”Yeah,” Vette says, relieved to have a focus. “Crystal. I don’t even know who to ask…” ”Hey,” Viri says, signaling a serving droid. “I want a woman for the night. Prettiest you’ve got. Help me out, who handles that here?”
The serving droid silently gestures toward an older Twi’lek woman sitting on a nearby banquette. 
”The direct route usually works,” Viri chuckles, leading the way. Crystal notices them as they approach, her eyes sweeping over them both with a calculated assessment. ”Hey, cute thing,” Crystal says, addressing Vette. “You looking for work?” ”No,” Vette stammers. “I…we…” ”Ah, you’re here for some fun, then. First time in a place like this?” Crystal says sympathetically. “Who do you fancy? Humans? Twi’leks? Nautolans? Men? Women?” ”Uh…” Vette swallows hard and looks at the ground. “I don’t fancy…no, I didn’t want to…we…” ”Do you have a girl working here named Tivva?” Viri says, stepping in. “We just want to say hi. Can you call her for us?” ”Ah,” Crystal says, looking from Viri to Vette and back again. “Everyone’s got someone who loves them. That’s it, isn’t it?” Vette nods mutely. ”Tivva! Get over here,” Crystal shouts. A woman by the edge of the barge cringes, and then sighs and makes her way through the crowd to the banquette. Crystal nods and walks away. There’s a resemblance, but not much of one. And as Tivva glowers at Viri and Vette in turn, there is no recognition in her eyes. ”No women, no couples, and no, I don’t want to hear any arguments,” Tivva says, her voice firm and strong. ”You…you don’t…” Vette opens her mouth, but no further words emerge.
Viri’s nostrils flare with a sudden burst of anger. “Hang on, Vette. I want to explore this rule against women. I mean, we’re all open minded here.” 
”Shut up,” Vette says, cutting her off. “Crazy Sith Channel on mute, please?” Viri glares at her. ”Argue somewhere else,” Tivva says, turning to walk away. ”Tivva, no!” Vette says, finding her voice. “Don’t you…don’t you know me? I’m not here as a customer, for Force’s sake, neither is she, and we’re certainly not a couple!” Tivva turns. Studies her. And as recognition floods her expression, tears form in her eyes. ”Ce’na. Oh stars.” Tivva whispers, coming closer. “It’s really you, isn’t it?” ”Took you long enough,” Vette sobs, hurling herself into Tivva’s arms. ”I can’t believe you’re still alive,” Tivva murmurs. ”Despite my best efforts.” ”Did she call you Ce’na?” Viri says, wrinkling her brow. ”This is my friend,” Vette says, looking to Viri. “She’s a Sith lord.” ”Charmed. Any family of Vette’s is a friend of mine.” Tivva draws back and stares at Vette, wrinkling her nose. “Vette? Is that what you’re calling yourself these days? Sounds like a gangster from the tech sector.” ”Yes, that’s my name now,” Vette says, arching her eyebrow. “Old days. Long behind me. The name stuck.” ”Tivva, you need to get back to work,” Crystal calls. “Unless the ladies want to pay for your time.” ”Start a tab for me,” Viri calls back. “I’ll cover whatever your normal fee is so they can talk.” ”It’s your credits to waste,” Crystal shrugs indifferently. Vette shifts uncomfortably from one foot to the other. “I’m guessing this wasn’t a voluntary career move.”
Tivva sighs. “I’ve been working here for two years, and it’s killing me. I kept thinking I’d get sold again but I’m too old. Please, Ce’na. You have to get me out of here. I’m sure she’d let me go, but not for free.”
”You know I will,” Vette says quickly. “Viri? Can you - please - buy her freedom? I wouldn’t ask, but it’s my sister….” ”Absolutely,” Viri says, pulling a stack of gold credits out of her pocket. “Tivva? Give this to your master. If she objects, she can talk to me. Sith lords can usually convince people.” ”You…you’re really doing this,” Tivva says, bewildered, as she cups both hands to take the credits.
”Yes,” Viri says. ”You see why I hang out with a Sith lord?” Vette grins. ”Thank you. Thank you so much. I’ll talk to Crystal and get my things and…” Tivva runs to Crystal, credits in hand. ”You…you are the best. Thank you,” Vette says, wiping tears from her eyes. “I’ll pay you back.” ”No, you won’t,” Viri says firmly. “I didn’t do this as a loan. And if we find anyone else you care about - friends, family - I’m happy to do the same. Just ask.” ”I’m sorry I told you to shut up before,” Vette murmurs, looking away. “It…just wasn’t the time for a joke.” ”No harm done.” Tivva returns, carrying a small, thin rucksack and her new documents. “I’m free. I’ve got my stuff. Let’s go.” ”That’s all you have with you?” Vette says sadly, gesturing at the bag as they walk away from the pleasure barge. “I don’t think it would be safe for you to stay with us, but I’m sure we could give you a lift out of town. Where to?” ”I don’t know,” Tivva shrugs, looking away. “I’m…not sure where to go now. I want to catch up, but I have to…get myself together.” ”Wait. Some of my friends are still on Nar Shaddaa,” Vette says, pulling her datapad out of her pocket and typing quickly. “I am sure they can give you a place to stay, at least temporarily. I ran with them for years.” ”Did they give you that terrible nickname?” Tivva asks, amused. ”Drop it with the name, would you? Do you want me to call them or not?” ”Yes,” Tivva says. “Please.”
 “I just got ahold of Taunt,” Vette says, reading the screen. “She’ll meet you at these coordinates. Just take the speeder to the Corellian district. Here’s my holo frequency. And money, here’s some credits…”
 “If anyone gives you trouble, you call us,” Viri says, raising an eyebrow. “I’d advise you not to mention my name to anyone. Wouldn’t want you to get caught in any Sith vendettas. But if you need my help, call.” 
”I have a Sith in my corner now?” Tivva seems amused. ”As I said, any family of Vette’s is a friend of mine,” Viri replies. “I won’t let harm come to Vette; I won’t let it come to you, either.” ”You’re all right,” Tivva says quietly. ”Go to Taunt, and call me…” Vette says, embracing her again. ”I will,” Tivva says. “I don’t even know what to think right now. But we’ll talk later.” ”We’ll walk you to the speeder,” Viri says, leading the way. * Vette watches Tivva’s speeder careen off into the Nar Shaddaa night. As she turns back to Viri, there are tears in her eyes. ”We found her. We really found her, Viri.” ”I’m so glad,” Viri says, a genuine smile crossing her lips. “And I’m sorry she could not travel with us. I wouldn’t have wanted to place her in danger.” ”It’s better that way,” Vette says. “I’m used to our murder and mayhem. She wouldn’t be.” ”Say nothing about her on the ship,” Viri warns, raising an eyebrow. “Even to those who are friends. You know the walls have ears, and we don’t want her on anyone’s radar.” ”Understood,” Vette says. ”Speaking of which, we should be getting back. You know the dummy will invariably have something new and miserable for me to do soon. And he won’t like waiting.” ”Back to Sith business! Grrr!” Vette sticks out her tongue. ”Let’s just stop at the bakery. It’s on the way. But they have cookies.” * When Viri says she wants cookies, she means it. Their air cart is so weighed down with cookies that both she and Vette have to push it, the crates swaying precariously as they make their way toward the spaceport. ”You know, I’d tell you just to learn to bake these. But you’d probably set the galley on fire,” Vette grunts, pushing the elevator button. ”Maybe? You know I would,” Viri says, smirking. She fishes into her bag for a cookie, closing her eyes and relishing the bite. ”Before we join the others, I wanted to ask you…there was something I noticed…” ”Hm?” Viri says, taking another bite of her cookie. ”You asked the droid for a woman. Not a man.” ”Yes, I did.” ”And then when Tivva said she wouldn’t take women, you were annoyed.” ”Yes, again.”
 “You wouldn't really have wanted to do anything with Tivva, would you?” 
”No. Absolutely not. I was making a general comment.” Viri finishes her cookie and takes another from the bag. ”It bothered you, what she said.” ”Somewhat. Not everyone likes women, I understand, but…” ”But you like women, don’t you?” ”Correct,” Viri says, looking straight ahead. “Do you have an issue with that?” ”No,” Vette says quickly; definitively. “Of course not. You like who you like. I was just curious. But…um…” Viri raises an eyebrow. “If you have a question about it, just ask me. I won’t be angry.” ”You’ve never had a girlfriend. Or had anyone…overnight…on the ship. Or flirted with anyone.” ”That’s right. Because nobody’s caught my interest.” ”Nobody?” ”Nobody.” ”You’re picky,” Vette laughs. ”No, it’s not that, it’s…” Viri’s voice trails off and she looks away. “It doesn’t matter. I’m not actively seeking anyone, and I’m not interested in casual encounters. Is your curiosity satisfied for now?”
”I think you should have a girlfriend,” Vette replies, elbowing Viri. ”I’ll keep your recommendation in mind,” Viri laughs, elbowing her back, gently. “But now is not the time. Things are as they are.” ”When will be the time?” Vette presses. “When you’re on the Dark Council?” ”It might be more dangerous then,” Viri laughs, as they walk through the hangar toward the ship. “It’s not what I need at this time.” ”You’re happy with things as they are?” ”Yes,” Viri says. “I have friends. Power. This fine ship. And…are we still sisters? Now that you’ve found Tivva again?” ”Of course,” Vette says fiercely. “You can’t be replaced.” ”I’m glad,” Viri says, smiling faintly. As she presses the button on the hangar, her face falls back into its Sith lord mode: expressionless but slightly malevolent. Things are as they are.

Tma season 2 notes baybeee
I made myself take several breaks so I could give my frie d who is listening to it at the same time as me a chance to catch up. Honestly just posting them so I have them saved somewhere but whatever.
ep 41: real graham wrote keep watching before he was replaced. Jon feels like he's being watched. But they werent replaced by things related to the eye. It's the web that's on the box that replaces them. Endless hallways and doors to nowhere. I bet nicholas will have ideas what entity this relates to. If it even does. They're like the tunnels in the one with the builder guy. Tunnels closing in etc. Also like the cave diving one. He's assuming it's just one
ep 42: so 100 gecs? (IM SORRY I LIKE 100 GECS BUT LMAO) so there's some entity related to music right? There's the piper episode and the 27 w/ the calliope. Ah yes, this season is gonna be the season of Paranoid!Jon
ep 43: section 31? fucking books. god no. smashed lights? cult lady did that. covered the lights too. she mentioned a spooky clown doll. thats not random.
ep 44: is this that same circus that got mentioned before? it is! the pipe organ! pop off organ! pipe off! mouth on the stomach! yes! mouths in unusual places my beloved!
ep 45: antiques! like that one ep!
ep 46: every time books get mentioned i sigh. hhh sus smells. it got brighter. I get the vibes occasionally that the dark and the eye are sorta at odds with eachother. GRRR BARK BARK LEITNER. ayyy ex altiora. entity go brr. which entity do we thing it is? my guess is The Dark. The book buyer's name is Mike. He has scars? Electricity? The childhood friend of the guy who got it later on perhaps? The Vast? its formatted like an entity idk. This happened before the other one. He got trapped in the wood carving. a win for the web lol spiders go brr
ep 47: did i hear spiral? ITS THE NOT THING FROM THE EPISODE WITH NOT GRAHAM "it didnt move, it shifted" is like the exact same sentence as before. ay john's starting to remember. the laughing woah thats weird. is "michael" one of the entities? "you make it seem like theres a war" supports my theory that theres a struggle between a couple of the entities. I said i thought it was the eye and the dark i believe but im not sure. its whatever entity michael is vs the worms? what did nicholas say the worms were again? The Corruption? still dont know which one michael is tho.
Had to take a break after that episode. smth about the quality of michael's voice makes me feel like im gonna slip into one of those states where it feels like nothing is real, so i got a nice cold glass of water.
ep 48: jesus ok this one's kidna corny. you're telling me love made the crowd go away come on now. Ur losing it big J. also shouldnt it be more sus that "sasha" is so unaffected by the worm incident/ finding of gertrude's body
ep 49: haven't we heard hector's name before? oh is he the crime guy? fucking jared... so it's a throat? chompa chompa. (it's just a little bit hot) the good part about these episodes is that we know whoever's telling the story isn't gonna die. even if it's a close call, they're not dead. hotworth? ok not jared keay. it bothers me how theres so many repeated names, can they not come up with other names? "sasha"'s computer is breaking... sus. Elias our favorite weed man! jon ur so paranoid lmao
ep 50: robert smirk, at it again. this is like that one episode with the old dude who locked his door. who said idle beforehand? was it smirk? fingertips. thats so weird lmao. bahahah tim
ep 51: simon fairchild. im sure jon will mention the name at the end i cant remember where we've heard it. this is just like the cavediving episode. a hand? there was a hand in the last one right? the scalpel! and an eye thing. she's trying to throw them off.
ep 52: thats the guy from before! with the hearts! god i hate this guy writing the statement hh. lights blowing, and brackish water. we know how this ends but its still tense. rainer? reigner? rain man. we've seen him before
ep 53: pls not a leitner. oh boy mans scratched out his eyes. rip skelly. why would gertrude have had this statement off the books? jon stabbed himself?? bruh im? big man are you okay
ep 54: cockney boys! ayy its our favorite delivery men. she cut out their eyes. she knew that the eye was a thing?
ep 55: oily residue like the retirement home!
ep 56: worms? no. spiders?? bruhh. aaah yelling :(( aww martin anyways yeah i called it about paranoid!jon he needs to take a nap and drink some hot chocolate and calm down for once please
ep 57: just remembered, i think theres an entity called The Lonely?? This feels pretty lonely idk. fairchild, lukas/ lucas, some spooky place in norway idk. "sasha" knew he was recordinig hmm suspicious cmon jon figure it out. Sasha and tom. hm sus. for records sake i feel liek i should note here that I did have it spoiled to me simply that that's not sasha, but thats really all. i assumed it was like the thing that happened to graham in S1
ep 58: i feel like i recognize the name eustice (?) wick. someone please tell me im not just watching jon's descent into madness over the course of this podcast. im hoping it isnt so but, (and pardon the dsmp reference) im getting real wilbur vibes from this one.
ep 59: oh dear ok account from the fielding house. swirling designs? Spiral time? oh boyy. oh wait! 6 inch hole in the middle! is it not a spiderweb type design on the table? thats what i had assumed but that description sounds more like a spiral thing. cobwebs is a Web thing. ayy nicholas was right! the box goes in the table! the place that she kissed him was burning. Raymond is an avatar of The Web and agnes is the burning one. Lightless Flame! Why did she save him? i guess she was against this guy eating ppl or wtvr but why was she at the halfway house then? I think she's like michael.
ep 60: the eye go brr
ep 61: breacon and hope once again. tom. sasha's boyfriend. vampires sleep in coffins. the guy just walking in seems similar to the mind control of the vampires
ep 62: bones! its that one leitner. is this mother keay? the mom of gerard? this is what happened to her right? her skin was found on hooks? oh yeah thats what i thought the pages are made of skin. yeesh. The End!! sounds like an entity. phrased like one, and i think i remember it. are the people trapped in the pages? or... kept?
ep 63: eaten by the darkness! cavediving episode! (just like eaten by the sky) did my brain make up one called The Vast? it feels like it should be one, and all these episodes have some similar description about their feelings when they do whatever chosen hobby they have. ok now this one kinda feels like the dark. lights going out and all that. ok so not really a The Vast thing, its more of a Dark thing. feckin smirk gah.
ep 64: dice! the death guy! the death game thing! the person tricked somebody else into becoming death and then they were immortal? but if the egyptians wanted to kill him or punish him or whatever couldnt they just kill him? it worked in the end when he had the person giving the statement stab him, that did the job and actually killed him
ep 65: finally jon is actually acknowledging something is wrong.
So we know Mary Keay was revived most likely with the book by gerard.
Gertrude was way more aware of the entities than Jon. mary keay referenced The End openly and she cut the eyes out of her magazines and all that which makes me think she was aware of The Eye
ep 66: please not buried alive pleeaase not buried alive. lukas of the tundra? didnt we hear the name lukas before? she wanted it to be difficult to find important files because that way bad people couldnt find them?
ep 67: agnes... the girl in the hilltop house? agnes poppin off!! he's really not gonna question how she knew where he lived?? oh no D: the tree. were they the ones working on the house? aww they kissi- OH DEAR. why did she kiss him? it seemed like she cared about him? also she could kiss that other dude on the cheek and he was fine, but maybe it was cuz she was younger? lightless flame go brrrrr.
ep 68: oh god books. yup its bitchboy leitner. mans said "this seems supernatural, its a werd book!" bruuh.
ep 69: heh nice. aw cmon jon listen to martin. gahhh spiders. is that the class we heard about in the other doctor one with the teeth apple? some kind of psych class? oh dear. fucking spiders. aaaah. web do be goin brr. it's like the girl in the homeless shelter! who made the guy leave and she took his bed.
ep 70: is this gonna be the book that mary keay had? Most likely a leitner no matter what. Oh boy latin. Why did it start in latin then become old English? I'm guessing people put them in the book? He cant burn it. Phrophecies go brr. He says eh it's a decade in the future it's fine. Its gonna have changed. Ayy called it. Just accept it, it's a magic book. His death is getting closer. Leitner didnt make them but just collected them? Gertrude burned the book! She burned them down there so no one would know.
ep 71: oh boy tunnels. Our favorite thing /s. is The Buried a thing? Idk this seems pretty buried. Oh dear he's trapped here isnt he. "Not enough space to move, never enough to breathe" is that from the computer episode? With the guy who uploaded his consciousness? Somebody living down there. Hmmmm. Guesses: tom, sasha's boyfriend. Gertrude herself? (Though I doubt it)
ep 72: sweeney todd moment. Meat. The slaughter? Idk we'll see what the supernatural part is. Meat is meat. Similar to the slaughterhouse episode. Is it fucking Jared I swear to God it better not be. Hooligan teenagers, you know how it is. Meat is me lmao. Is the kid gonna be in the freezer. Ok that's good. OWW. Oddly textured candles. Made from people? Human fat or smth? Tom from the meat processing plant!
ep 73: outer bay shipping. Bet it's a subset of breacon and hope delivery. The Dark go brrr. Uh oh mans is gonna die. Leo or whatever. Cult ppl go brr. The people's church of the divine host. Who is the divine host? Is it reigner or whatever his name is? I dont think Jon can quit tbh. Probably an anonymous tip but from who?? One of the entities?
ep 74: fucking teeth hhh. I dont know which entity is related to teeth. Spiral. Isnt the spiral an entity. It feels like it could be related to many things idk. Yeah this sounds like the spiral. Heart attack at 29? Jesus... michael! That's kinda what I was thinking. Sasha goin in the tunnels. Hmm sus. They move the floor. Wack. Bet its tom.
ep 75: Man with a lightning scar. Has one of the leitner books. The childhood friend of the one who first introduced us to leitner. Oh my god that sounds terrifying. Michael crew.
ep 76: scalpel? Hmm spooky. NotSasha... think jon think.
ep 77: another double! NotThem, The Stranger. Not related to the table?
ep 78: what was that at the beginning? Question mark?? Oh boy more NotThem. Decker... what is the deal with the table. Does it contain the creature? Fucking Michael. Bitchboi himself.
ep 79: yes pop off martin. Ugh fucking Michael just leave man. I hate that dude. New person. Hmm. No idea who it is.
ep 80: shitener himself! Ok sir tell us the entities. Ayy The Spiral. Ok we know what that one is. The Eye is the beholding! Oooh. The Stranger. Did elias just kill leitner? Popping off honestly.

Let’s Play Transformers War for Cybertron, Chapter 4 Transcript
Episode
[This can also be found on AO3!]
[Intro Music]
O: Welcome back to our Let's Play of 'War for Cybertron'!  We are on chapter 4: Death of  
O: Hope.  Um, as always I'll be playing Megatron, and I'm Owls.
S: I'm Specs.
C: I'm Chezni.
O: And here we go!
O: I'm back with my asshole- S: The Death of Hope-
O: [laughs] What? S: THE DEATH OF HOPE!
O: Yes. S: Ahhh!
[Steve Blum: Zeta Prime is conquered.  But the device Megatron] O: Is he now?
[Steve Blum: believed to be the Omega Key simply activated the key]
C: He got his heart ripped out. [Steve Blum: Omega Supreme.]
O: Tha- that's dead!  That's different than 'conquered'. [Steve Blum: Megatron quickly discovers he can use the device to track Omega Supreme.]
[Steve Blum: And races above the skies of Iacon in pursuit of his quarry.] S: Well, I mean 'conquered' can be a euphemism for many things.
C: [laughs] O: Many things!  That's why I was laughing at it.
[Megatron: Maintain this heading!  The device shows the Omega Key is directly ahead!]
O: Wow, everybody drives but Megatron. [Breakdown: I thought Zeta said it was gonna come to US!]
[Soundwave: We are being intercepted.] S: Yeah.
S: Oh, who were the other characters available in this?
O: Oh!  Same two.  It's gonna be Breakdown and Soundwave for the next two chapters.
[Breakdown: It's coming right at us!] S: Okay.
[Megatron: Stay your course! Breakdown: We're gonna dieeeeeeee!]
C & S: [laugh] C: Deja vu.
[Megatron: Turn around and-- where did it go?] O: [laughs]
[Breakdown: He's gone!  What is this guy? You think he knows about the Omega Key?]
S: Uh... O: Yes.
[Megatron: No Breakdown.  HE IS the Omega Key!] S: Considering he probably... yeah.
[Omega: Identity: Omega Supreme.  Enemy Status: TERMINATED.]
O: That seems a bit... ya know...
C: Presumptuous? [Breakdown: What are we gonna do NOW Megatron?]
O: Yes. [Megatron: Silence!]
S: Yeah, I mean why didn't you just... [Megatron: This merely modifies my plan.]
S: Omega, why didn't you just hammer it against the ground!?! [Megatron: If Omega Supreme IS the key...]
C: Or sit on it! [Megatron: then I shall FORCE him to open the planet's core.]
O: [laughs] Like, really make sure he was dead, SUPER dead.
O: Also sorry, I had to- um, I had to close some things on my computer because they
O: were making noise at me.  So there's like a beep from Google Hangouts in there somewhere.  
O: ALSO why does Megatron keep waking up in a wrecked ship!?
O: [laughs] This is the second time! C: Yeah he really-
S: It's his equivalent of going on a bar crawl. [Soundwave: Megatron-- there is a Decepticon dropship]
C & O: [laugh] [Soundwave: across the bridge.  They appear to be scanning for survivors.]
[Starscream (COM): Come in Megatron!  This is Starscream, do you read me?]
[Megatron: Starscream!  I am 7 clicks north of your position!]
[Starscream: Megatron!] O: The fuck's a click?
[Starscream: I watched you crash and burn...] S: Oh god, another...
[Megatron: Enough!  Meet us at the bridge!] S: I'm assum-
S: [sighs] I don't know it could either be a distance  of measurement or a time measurement.
C: Well, a click is a shorthand for an 'astro click'-
O: UGH! C: -a uh, distant cousin of the 'astro second.'
O: Nooooooooo... [laughs] NO!
S: I don't like that they're just you know like, plexi- O: Astro-units!?! [laughs]
S: Well, I was going to say like, plexiglas panels that are part of the walkway.
C: It is a bit concerning. [Omega: Identification: Decepticons.  Action: Terminate.]
[Decepticon Grunt: Fall back!  Fall back and take cover!]
C: Omega Supreme is pretty.
[Decepticon Grunt: Help us!  Megatron!] O: Autobot scum.
C: He has big like, beam wings- what would you call those? [Soundwave: Our weapons are ineffective.]
[Breakdown: We can't fight this thing!  We've gotta get out of here!] S: [laughs] Well, I,
S: they're part of like, tracks in his-in G1. [Megatron: Stand your ground, Decepticons!  Destroy the bridge supports!]
C: Tracks? Oh!  The- the course, right
C: because you could race little cars around him. [laughs]
S: Yeah. O: [laughs and says something unintelligible]
C: Quiet you! [laughs] S: But if you did, I'm not terribly familiar with his toy.
O: Well, neither is Chezni.  Big boy fall down.
S: And this is why you don't have battles on bridges in the middle of- C: Ha!
[Breakdown: That did it, all right -- but there goes your Omega Key!] C: Yeah!
[Megatron: We can salvage the wreckage for what we need.]
[Omega: Target: Acquired.]
C: This has been uh, advice from Specs. [Omega: Mission: Destroy.]
C: Don't have epic battles on bridges if you don't wanna to fall down. [Megatron: Fall back.  Inside.  Quickly!]
O: Well, it- it's also that um, they forgot [the] he could fly thing. S: Yeah.
[Breakdown: We must return to the door!] O: Again, you know?
S: Yeah. [Breakdown: It's no use, Megatron!  The door's locked!]
[Soundwave: Suggestion: Use Dark Energon to open the door.]
O: [laughs] Soundwave's like, "UH, the obvious, please?" [Megatron: An excellent idea, Soundwave.]
C: [laughs]
O: Because Soundwave is the best!
S: Because somehow, Dark Energon is your lock-picking tool of choice.
S: It's such a... such a useful, uh... space crack.
O: Space crack doesn't just make you FEEL like you can do anything [Breakdown: Now what?  How are we gonna beat this guy, Megatron?]
O: it lets you do anything! [Soundwave: During our approach to this sector,]
[Soundwave: my scanners detected ion cannons near the top of the chasm wall.] C: If it was a DND ability it would be like-
C: pick a door as if a thief, only use your strength stat instead of dexterity. [Megatron: I see... We will lure Omega Supreme up there,]
O: Yeah!  Yeah!
[Megatron: and use the Autobot guns against him!] S: [laughs]
S: [laughs] That's funny. O: Very, very accurate!
O: And I mean, does that not fit Megatron in a nutshell?  I mean, let's be honest. [Breakdown: I don't like it.  It's too quiet.]
[Breakdown: Why the cease-fire?] S: Yeah, that's pretty 'Megatron'.
O: He- he doesn't know what picking a lock is, he just breaks the damn door down.
S: He takes it off- Well, yeah, Soundwave would either pick it or take it off its hinges.
O: I like that. S: Um, Megatron would just demolish it.
O: I-I like that- C: Breakdown [Knockout] would whine about not being able to open it until somebody blew it open for him.
O: Or he would like, try to out sex the door. C: [laughs]
S: [laughing] Out sex the door!
O: "Hey good looking, do you want to open up for me?"  It would be something like that alright?
S: That's a bard move. C: [laughs]
O: Okay, I know he's a healer, but I'm just saying- I don't think he should be a cleric!
C: Wai- wai- wait, so Breakdown's [Knockout's] a bard,
C: Megatron is the player who's playing a fighter or a barbarian but has strong-armed the DM by threatening him several times
C: into using multiple home brew abilities that let Megatron's character do whatever he wants when he wants to.
S: [laughs] O: Yes!  Yes!  You know, essentially how I play DND.
C: [laughs]
O: Am I wrong?
[Soundwave: Megatron, I am receiving a Decepticon transmission.] C: Soundwave is the one who's actually read all the rules and
O: Yes.
C: has min-maxed his character to be extremely specialized  [Starscream (COM): To all Decepticons who fight for the glory of Cybertron!]
C: and no one appreciates it.
O: No one! No one!  Like, the man has somehow wrangled out a summoner class- [Starscream: Megatron has fallen!  I Starscream, have taken my rightful]
[Starscream: place as your leader!] O: um, in like this, you know,
O: really basic rule set. [Megatron: Starscream, you halfwit!]
O: it makes total sense- [Megatron: I still function...]
O: everything is on the up and up. C: Yeah! [Megatron: a fact that you shall regret,]
O: But no. No one has uh, no one has done this, but him. [Megatron: when I choke the life out of you!  Now -- ]
[Megatron: I order you to deploy ships for immediate evacuation!] C: [laughs]
C: And like the the game- the game was never even intended to support a- [Soundwave: Starscream cannot hear you, Megatron.]
C: summoner class but he's made it work. [Soundwave: All communication to the surface]
O: Yeah!  Yeah! [Soundwave: has been jammed.]
O: Because he is fucking Soundwave and Soundwave does what he wants, [Megatron: Grrr!  Let's head for that lift, before that idiot]
O: but he does it legally! [Megatron: Starscream causes irreparable harm.]
S: I'm afraid that sort of um- O: I love that- Oh!  Go ahead.
S: Sorry, I'm afraid that sort of reminds me of when I did the summoner dog. C: Oh, yeah.
[Breakdown: Uh- oh... Here he comes!]
C: Uh, for the audience: Specs played a dog at one point. [Megatron: Keep moving, Decepticons!  We need to reach that lift!]
O: A talking dog. [laughs]
S: Whose name was- well... his name wasn't Rainbow
S: but he was an amnesiac and that's kind of what everyone called him, [Soundwave: This lift will provide passage to the surface when activated.]
S: despite him being a black dog.
C: Ah, so many elevators. [Breakdown: What's wrong with this thing?]
[Breakdown: Why can't we get it to move?] S: They just love elevators.
[Soundwave: The elevator is locked down.]
[Megatron: A simple solution, then.  Break the locks!]
C: [laughs] He does!  He just breaks everything! O: Yeah, he's like, "I'm not gonna wait!"
[Megatron: Starscream -- come in.  This is Megatron.]
O: [laughs] [Soundwave: There is too much interference.]
[Soundwave: We must move higher to relay your signal.] O: "No, I'm fairly certain
O: he's just ignoring me, Soundwave." [laughs] [Megatron: Can this feeble Autobot mechanism]
[Megatron: not move any faster?!?] C & O: [laughs]
[Megatron: It appears we've lost that dull-witted brute, Omega Supreme.] C: "Too much interference?  Break the interference!"
[Megatron: Not that he stood a chance against my intellect.] O: "Uh, sir... that- that
O: would be the ceiling we need that." [Breakdown: Uh, Megatron...]
S: [laughs] [Megatron: What?  WHAT?]
C: "The laws of physics won't allow it!"  "Break the laws of physics!" [Omega: Target: re-acquired.  Weapons: engaging.]
O: "Sir, that's not how any of this works." [Breakdown: Wow...he looks REALLY angry.]
O: Why am I getting Bayonetta vibes? [laughs] C: Yeah, that looks scary.
S: Yeah! C: What the heck is going on?  Omega Supreme-
O: Uh, Omega Supreme is like, "I'm going to blow up everything." [Omega: Target identification:]
[Omega: Megatron, Decepticon leader.] C: Can he not aim!?!  Does he-
O: Apparently not! [Omega: Recommendation:]
C: What if he just pointed a little lower!? [Omega: complete termination.]
S: He may not be able to tell who they- or that [Megatron: You think you can destroy me, Omega Supreme?]
S: that's them. O: HA!  Megs is pissed!
[Megatron: You think you can destroy MEGATRON?  ...Do your worst!]
S: Or possibly he's just starting at the top and working his way down. C: Yeah, I think you're right.
C: Also, can we give props to Megatron for basically
C: laughing at the face of death in that laser? [Breakdown: We're still alive?  We're still alive!!]
[Breakdown: ...What happened?] O: Right, yeah like, I mean-
O: just like- "Oh, you think you can FUCKING kill me do you!?! [Megatron: Open fire on the emergency locks!  Destroy them!]
O: DO YOU!?!"  I'm like, that's- that's amazing. C: "You think that laser intimidates me?"
[Breakdown: Megatron -- all due respect, but are you CRAZY?] O: "That laser that's bigger than my entire body is tall!?"
[Breakdown: If we go out there, he'll melt us into scrap! Megatron: Would you rather face his wrath, or mine?  Now jump!]
O: [laughs] Sorry, I love how angry he is, about all of this.  This is a huge inconvenience to him and he hates it.  Also, where am I supposed to be going?
O: I have a feeling I went the wrong way. S: I think you turned around.
C: Oh, you're not supposed to go down? S: Well, maybe you are.
S: Oh.  That looks... mmm. C: Explodable. [laughs]
[Megatron: Move faster, Decepticons!]
O: Megs, wanna tell me- can you give me a little bit more direction there?
S: You do appear to need to go down. O: Hello-
O: We need to go down in a this-a-way direction, apparently.
C: As the heavy metal rock music plays.  O: It's his theme, alright?
C: Oh, Owls is using the game's worst weapon! O: Shut up, I don't have a lot of options.
C: Specs, you managed to make some use of the shotgun.
S: Maybe.  Umm, prob- mostly by luck?  It looks like there's some ammo? C: [laughs]
O: Yes, I'm loading my guns, so I get more ammo from them. S: Okie-dokie.
O: It won't load the clip you're using, essentially. C: Video game logic.
S: Ah.
[Decepticon Grunt 2 Weeks Away From Retirement: Megatron -- you're still functional!  Thank Primus we found you!]
O: Welp, they're going to die.  There we go. S: How did they get so far?
[Decepticon Grunt 2 Weeks Away From Retirement: AAAAAAA!!!] O: I'm-
[Omega: Decepticons: Located.] O: I-
C: Did... Omega Supreme just eat them with his hand? [Breakdown: He's trying to grab us!]
O: Uh... yeah.  Yeah. S: Yeah.
[Megatron: Stop whining and start shooting, Breakdown!]
C: Oh!
O: I think my question is- he's blowing up so much stuff  [Breakdown: Omega Supreme's right on our tails!]
O: that I'm like, how is he gonna know [Breakdown: There's got to be some way to shake him!]
 O: when he kills Megatron, anyway!? [laughs] [Megatron: Move back inside!  Perhaps we can avoid Omega's]
C: Yeah, maybe that's why he didn't aim when you were on the elevator. [Megatron: tracking systems.]
O: Yeah... maybe. [Soundwave: Fortified Autobot position located]
C: He just didn't know. [Soundwave: straight ahead.]
[Soundwave: Jamming Autobot scanners now.]
O: Ugh, all of my options are terrible! [Soundwave: Our approach should be undetected.]
O: I- I just want my sniper rifle back guys, I just- I just need my sniper rifle. C: [laughs]
O: I don't know what to do with myself without it. [Megatron: They must be coordinating with Omega Supreme,]
O: I don't remember what this is, but I guess I'll try it... [Megatron: trying to locate us.  Well, we'll give them what]
S: It's a mini gun, so it's prob- more like a gatling gun I think? [Megatron: they want... along with a painful death!]
O: Ah.
O: I love that Soundwave is like, motioning me forward.
O: I don't know why, it makes me laugh. [Megatron: Megatron has arrived!]
[Autobot Grunt 1: What's going on!?! Autobot Grunt 2: Someone's breaking in!]
[Autobot Grunt 2: Assume defensive positions!]
C: Ah, here we go- a true fire fight!
O: It's very much the spray and pray sort of... thing.
C: So it's a Specs' gun.
S: Ehhhhhhhhh....
C: [laughs]
S: ...yeah, I guess.
C: Hey, there's nothing wrong with spray and pray!
S: Yes, but the problem is I'm just- I am not good at first- I'm not good at shooting games.
[Breakdown: Now you're talkin'!  Weapons ready!]
C: Eh, it can take some practice.
[Autobot Grunt: Weapons overheating!] S: Yeah, I don't know and I just-
C: [incoherent] frustrating things.
S: Yeah, I don't play uh, honestly, games consistently enough... to get better at it- better at them so it's...
[Megatron: Excellent work, Soundwave now unlock the exit door.]
O: Hmph, what'd you say honey?  Soundwave still being the brains of the operation?
C: I mean, generally speaking he is.
C: In G1, uh, he certainly seemed to be the guy with all the plans. S: Yeah.
C: Although his- let's be real- Soundwave- early, early days
C: of Soundwave he needed to work on his operation names. [Breakdown: These guys don't know when to quit, do they?]
[Megatron: Smash through them!] O: [laughs] Yeah...
C: It was like- it was like, "Operation: Make a Tidal Wave." [laughs] O: Yeah.
C: "Operation-
O: -Destruction. C: "Open the Door".
S: "Operation: Ground Pound." C: Yeah! [laughs]
S: Though that may be a song name.
O: I don't think he ever actually did that one, but- but the problem is- that doesn't sound like one he *wouldn't* do?
C: Right. S: It sounds like something that Rumble and Frenzy would be involved in.
C: [laughs] O: Oh, DEFINITELY!  As they are with most bad plans.
S: Yeah. C: Like, I would never want him to use code words, or attempt to use code words
C: because it would be like he'd code- he'd code word things the way that Megamind code words things.
O & S: [laugh]
O: Yes!  He absolutely would. C: He'd be like, "Code: I'm going to go make coffee."
O: [laughs] Yeah!
S: "Code: Spy Mission." C: "Code: The Autobots will never suspect I'm sneaking up on them."
O: "The Autobots will never suspect I am in Ironhide's backseat."
C: [laughs]
O: You think I'm kidding. C: Well, to be fair though, they wouldn't!  Even if they heard him say it.
C: The Autobots, are completely inept. O: Dude, they- they saw him
O: and they didn't do anything!  I think that's the one that really kills me, is I'm like
O: that is clearly Soundwave!  And no one is doing anything about him being RIGHT THERE!
O: It hurts my brain, okay! S: Yeah...
C: Yeah, I think the episode you guys just uh, did that I edited- 33 Berserk or something?
O: Auto Berserk. C: I'm pretty sure Soundwave...
S: Yeah, that's the one where Soundwave was in um, the back of Ironhide's-
O: No it wasn't. S: No?
O: Uh, the one he just did, the one we released today was the one where it was the military guys because
O: they were trying- because the Cons were trying to uh, uh, steal that 'thing' the Autobots had come up with.
C: The Negaverse!
O: The Negavator or whatever. S: That is Auto Berserk.
O: Yes, but- but he's not in the backseat of Iron- he's not in Ironhide.  He's just outside and one of the military guys says, "Don't forget your tape deck."
S: Oh. O: Yeah.
C: [laughs] Oh right, that tape deck I never had. O: Yeah!  Yeah!
C: Specs, don't you also just walk around and be like, "Oh, that tape deck I never had."
O: Are- are there just... orphan tape decks must just be a problem in uh... [Soundwave: Megatron, the Autobot security systems are counter the effect of]
[Soundwave: Dark Energon.]
[Megatron: A futile gesture.] S: A very expen-
[Megatron: Decepticons!  Destroy the sentries!] O: In universe because like, he's- so many people take Soundwave home.
S: A very expensive problem.  They're obviously- obviously the reason people take him is because it's like,
S: "Ooh, fancy tape deck I don't have to buy something now for like fifty dollars." [Breakdown: Watch out!  Omega's mining the road ahead!]
O: Yeah. S: Or more.
O: Much more expensive at the time.
C: Yeah, that's a good point.  It'd be kind of more like finding a laptop- a laptop or a cell phone these days.
C & O: Yeah. S: Cuz-
O: Bigger than that.  I think like, 128 or something.  Something fairly large.
S: Yeah, I mean, he's basically engaging in passive social engineering. [Breakdown: HahaHAA!  Did you see me back there?]
C: [laughs] Wait, what? [Breakdown: Omega couldn't touch me!]
S: When Soundwave is just hanging out as a tape deck [Soundwave: Megatron -- scanners indicate a bridge nearby.]
S: waiting for people to pick him up he's engaging in passive social engineering.  [Soundwave: Crossing there will give us access to a second elevator.]
S: Basically, it's his method of infiltration. [Breakdown: Another elevator?]
C: Okay. S: He does it in the comics.
O: A lot.
[Breakdown: I don't know... the last one didn't work out so well.] S: Like he literally- yeah.
[Megatron: Do not test me, Breakdown.  My patience is a critical low.] S: He hangs out in, um...
O: [laughs] I'm using that at some point, "My patience is at a critical low!" C & S: [laugh]
[Megatron: This will channel my rage!]
S: Soundwave hangs out in at least one parking lot and military contractors decide to pick him up,
S: take him into their secure military base, and then put him in uh, their locker. C: I got it.
S:  And then he transforms and basically goes ham on the military base.
C: Owls finally has her sniper gun. O: It's not the good one.  I want the Null Ray!
C: We can't all have the Null Ray.
[Breakdown: We're pinned down!] O: Yeah, and Starscream has clearly
O: taken his back and is now pretending he doesn't hear me. [laughs] [Megatron: Starscream, do you read me?]
S: [laughs] Yeah. [Starscream: Megatron?  You're alive?]
C: He sounds... disappointed. [Megatron: Spare me your theatrics!]
O: [laughs] [Megatron: I need immediate air support!  Attack Omega Supreme!]
O: "Spare me your theatrics!"
C: Ouch. [Omega: New targets: Acquired.]
C: Wait, Omega Supreme FLIES!? [Omega: Initiating: Pursuit.]
O: YES!  That's why knocking him off  S: Yeah.
O: the bridge was so wildly ineffective! [Megatron: There, Omega Supreme is distracted!]
C: Oh, right, right.
[Megatron: Attack the Autobots!] S: I mean, he basically turns into a spaceship.
C: Yeah!
S: Though don't ask me how he works because like, bits of him detach in G1.
S: And I'm not familiar enough with this um, version to uh... [Megatron: Target the repair sentries, or we'll never destroy these Autobots!]
C: Yeah.
O: Oh fuck. [laughs]
S: Oh. C: Oh no!
O: Well, something was shooting me.
O: Again the whole, 'I can't see my own health when I am uh- [Soundwave: Megatron -- scanners indicate a bridge nearby.]
C: Yeah. [Soundwave: Crossing there]
O: Yeah, not- not great. [Soundwave: will give us access to a second elevator.]
O: Are you a Null Ray now?  No?  No.  I can dream. [Breakdown: Another elevator?  I don't know... the last one didn't work out so well.]
[Megatron: Do not test me, Breakdown.  My patience is at a critical low.]
C: That- S: Your patience is always at a critical low, Megatron.
C: [laughs] O: Okay, but also
O: Starscream is ignoring him and they're being chased by something the size of a size- a skyscraper for THEM.
C: Oh yeah, that's a good point  O: Okay, maybe not a skyscraper, but HUGE all right, he's huge!
S: Yeah. [Breakdown: We're pinned down!]
C: So if it's the size of a skyscraper for them, what would that be like for us? [Megatron: Starscream, do you read me?]
S: Umm... O: Oh god, so big.
C: Like, a mountain?
S: Mmm, maybe... I don't know. C: It's hard to put into perspective in your mind.
S: Five or six empire state buildings stacked on top of each other? C & O: [laugh]
O: Wow that is- C: What's bigger than a skyscraper?  Five skyscrapers!
A: [laugh] S: I don't know.  What's the tallest building in the world?  Let's go with like, five of that.
C: [laughs]
C: I- I don't actually know what the tallest building the world is.
C: Is it- is the Eiffel tower- O: I think- is it in Dubai?
O: I want to say it's in Dubai. S: Yeah, I think there's one- I think it's in Dubai, but I don't know what it called.
C: Gotcha. O: Are all the heal things dead now!?
S: Oh, I don't really see anything uh, hitting him that could heal him.
C: Wow, those guys are just uh, bullet sponges. S: Yeah.
C: Wait!  What?  You have something with a scope that's automatic? S: Oh, I guess that is-
O: Yeah, I don't like this one very well.  It's my least favorite scoped weapon.
C: I'm sorry Specs wha- uh what were you saying?
S: Yeah, it did look like there was a healing thing. [Megatron: [laughs manically] For glory!]
O: This is I think, Bumblebee's default weapon? C: So what is that, like an assault rifle?
S: Oh. C: Oh, it's Bumblebee's default?
O: Yeah, one of his, that's why I end up using Bumblebee in the Autobot campaign. C: Gotcha.
O: Because I don't like this one, but it's better than a lot of the other defaults. C: It's better than nothing.
O: Yeah, it's better than no scope. C: Ha!  No scope!
C: Sorry, uh... you know the whole nose- no scope 360? O: Oh my god, you stupid Autobot!
C: Oh great, he's taunting you. S: He's just dancing.
O: [laughs] I'm just like, he is just is constantly going back and forth- the frick!?!
S: Oh, it's crotch shot time. O: Aim for the crotch!  Aim for the crotch!
C: [laughs] I love it because this whole fight started out with you unloading like, the- an entire clip of a minigun into him.
C: And then you were like, "Okay, all these other guys are more important," and he's just been down there like, "Umm... what do I do?"
S: The thing is, that's not a Omega Supreme.  That's one of the people that he deployed.
C: Yeah.
C: It's just a... a bigger guy but not as big as Supreme. S: Yeah.
S: Like, I think in
S: Cyberverse that might be what Astrotrain's size is supposed to be, but I'm not sure O: Damn.
S: because I haven't gotten to that point yet.  C: I love the name 'Astrotrain,' I don't even know why. 
S: He's a train that's also a spaceship what's not to love? C: Yeah!
O: I just find it funny that you're like, all of your favorite ones are bugs. C: Oh yeah, no, Astrotrain's got nothing on the Insecticons.
O: Or Inferno? C: Oh, and none of the other Insecticons have anything on Inferno.
C: Inferno is the- is the cream of the crop.
O: Great, I'm like, completely out of ammo.
C: "Pain is my friend!"  He's the best.
S: Well, that guy's down. C: Oh wow.
O: Well, I think Soundwave or Breakdown did me a solid.
O: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?! C: [laughs]
O: [laughs] Okay, I don't care.  I don't care.  I really don't care.  I'm just happy I've got my Null Ray back.
C: "Oh hey, did you know there's a Null Ray over there?"
S: [laughs] O: Yeah, you know what?  Knockout- not Knockout- goddammit.
O: Breakdown saw it, didn't say a damn word.  Because it didn't register it being important because he- he's kind of a dumbass here, not gonna lie.
S: Well, I think most of the Stunticons are generally considered to be not uh...
S: Not the brightest. O: I've got Null Rays for days, guys.  That one's also a Null Ray! [laughs]
C: Oh my goodness. S: Nice.
O: [laughs] I'm just glad I got 'em.  It's- it's really funny
C: Yeah, Breakdown kind of comes off as the [Megatron: I shall lead the way!]
C: whiny little brother who is gonna talk like they
C: can do everything without your help and then the moment they run into the most minimal of
C: obstacles they whine and cry because they can't get through it until you help them.
[Megatron: Bow in the presence of Megatron!]
O: Seriously, there was a 5x scope but no, I had to pick up that other one.
O: Okay guys, where are you?
[Autobot Grunt: Decepticons, ahead!] S: Over there, I guess.
S: Oh.
C: What do we call those ones? O: I don't know.
C: Halo boys?  Uh... bishop boys? O: Maybe, maybe,
O: I'm gonna need something to call them in the transcript that works as well as anything else.
[Megatron: Move quickly!  The bridge terminal is just ahead!] C: They have little like, rings over their head.
O: Yeah- S: For some reason...
S: Yeah, I don't know they kind of remind me of Brawn [Breakdown: There's Omega again!]
S: a little bit but I don't have a good reason for that. [Breakdown: He's getting ahead of us!]
O: It's the kind of bulky shoulders, maybe?
[Breakdown: Omega found us again!  We can't go that way... what do we do now?!?] C: I feel like this walkway would just be a nice place to casually still stroll through
C: during a non-war scenario. [Soundwave: Mapping alternate route now.]
S: Yeah. [Megatron: Let's get off this road and out of the open.]
[Megatron: We will find another way!] C: The glass window was nice.
S: I mean, honestly, we never see anything that even looks- [Breakdown: A dead end!  Megatron, we're trapped!]
[Megatron: Soundwave!  You led us to this place.  What is your explanation?] S: I mean, I know this is probably supposed to be a military facility
[Soundwave: Scans reveal poor structural integrity]
C: But we never see anything like a- a storage room [Soundwave: surrounding this maintenance access door.]
C: or a- or a break area or something like that. [Soundwave: Megatron -- these are Iacon power maintenance tunnels.]
S: Yeah.  Storage room, break areas um, um, barracks? [Soundwave:  Moving through them will lead to the bridge terminal.]
O: A normal office?  You- you know that- that people have to be office workers here or something. 
S: Yeah, or even like a commissary.  Well, I mean I guess technically that would be the
S: energon or like a med bay or even any place to- where you'd go and like... 
S: get entertainment. C & O: Yeah.
S: Or refreshments or- C: Or you know-
S: There's still going to be some sort of store, effectively.  At least I'd assume so. C: Wha- what is it called?  An energon bed?
S: Uh... C: [laughs]
O: I don't think the beds actually have names, you know? C: The- the nap in a bottle?
S: Recharge slab? O: Yeah!  Those.  I'm just dumb don't listen to me.
C: Recharge slab?  Sounds terrifying.
S: I don't know, there's a bunch of different- O: "YOU MUST RECHARGE IN YOUR SLAB!"
S: Uh, berth?  I could never- there's a bunch of different names.  I don't actually remember what the...
S: I think they're circuit slabs in IDW. O: Oh.
S: IDW 1, um...
O: Yeah, you know cause there's two,
O: you know, just to make that more confusing for people. [Breakdown: Oh no, you're not messing up this face!]
C: [laughs] For the non-initiated like myself.
[Autobot Grunt: Nooooooo!]
O: Pft, I'm sorry that is still the dumbest death noise! C: That was like an action movie shot  
C: too.  You like, shot him and he flew off into the lava... or well, the edge or whatever. O: HA!
S: I mean honestly- O: Sorry-
O: it wasn't red so he wasn't sure he could hit him.  So it always brings me great joy when I can hit them. [laughs]
S: Mm.
S: Like, if one of these areas was...
S: like, if you were getting something from something- er, place that was you know, like
S: not a military facility but was more of a public area?  Like, you never se- I don't- for some reason I just  
S: anticipate seeing something that would be more like a shopping area or something and  
S: I don't think they do that. O: Yeah.
C: Yeah. O: Well and like, I guess the the most like,
O: room that didn't seem war oriented that we've seen yet has really been the room with all the moons in the last chapter?
C: Oh, yeah. S: Yeah.
C: I mean... I don't have a perfect recollection of it but didn't-
C: didn't number two [Fall of Cybertron] change up the locales a little bit? [Breakdown: Look out!  Sentries above us!]
O: A little bit.  Like, you're in this like- you're in some ancient  
O: ruins and a few other things.  Which is pretty neat! C: Yeah, cuz I think- didn't you go to a museum at some point?
O: Ah, it wasn't a museum but I know where you're talking about S: Uh-
O: and why you thought it was a museum. [Soundwave: Caution:]
[Soundwave: any contact with the energy beams will cause severe] C: "You belong in a museum!"
[Soundwave: systems damage. Autobot Grunt: [screams]]
C: Oh geez!  That guy got vaporized! [Breakdown: You want us to go through that power conduit?]
[Breakdown: No way!  The Energon flow is off the charts we'll be fried! Megatron: Get moving, Breakdown!]
C: [laughs] O: I- I'm good with waiting until like, after it goes again.
O: I mean, like, I know what I just said but I'm not a complete idiot .
O: Because I'm pretty sure it goes every couple of minutes, yeah.  Or- er, seconds, whatever.
C: Well, actually that was a couple astro-minutes! O: Oh no- no, no, no.
S: [laughs] C: Depending on the fact-
O: No-no-no-no-no. [laughs] C: [laughs]
S: Okay, time to jet! C: Oh, that is not good!
C: Three, two one- [laughs] O: Oh, come on, move!
O: Not what I meant to do!
C: I'm not entirely convinced that your allies made it through. S: Yeah... yeah.
O: Oh god- stop shooting at me! C: Oh no!
O: There we go!
O: Oh thank you sweet health. S: I kinda want cake.
O: Cake? C: [laughs] You're in the middle of a Cybertronian war and
C: the first thing you think of is cake. S: [laughs]
C: Or not the first thing but... [Breakdown: Move out of the tube or you'll get fried!]
C: Oh no! O: SHIT!!!  I messed up!  I have made a mistake. [laughs]
C: Oh, I thought you're gonna live. O: I thought I just watched it go!  I think this one you have to let it  
O: go twice though or something.  Oh, Soundwave you're beautiful if- if I had a kiss button I would use it.
S: [laughs] O: [laughs] Mwah!
S: Press 'G'- uh, press 'K' for kiss?
O: That sounds like a Tina... a Tina thing. (From Bob's Burgers.)
S: Press- press- C: Press uh, press 'B' to show platontic affection.
O: Oh, that's why, it's right here, sorry. S: Press 'F' to pay respects.
C & S: [laugh]
O: I think it's more like, you know, press 'A' to- to tell Soundwave he's the best subordinate ever.
C: That's- that's an Owls mod that's-
O: Yeah, it definitely is. C: That's only a feature of the game after Owls modes the game.
O: Yeah... What- what am I doing?  Where's the button.  There's the button!
C: Specs, wasn't here to push the button. O: Yeah, yeah I'm not used to it, alright?
O: Oh no!
[Soundwave: Tube temperature will soon be fatal.] C: Wow, they really make you move fast.
O:  Ahahaha!  I did it!  Like, it was you know, *so amazing.* [Soundwave: The bridge is just ahead.  It may be necessary to extend the tube by]
[Soundwave: accessing the bridge controls.]
[Breakdown: I don't like it, Megatron.  It's too quiet.] O: Thank you, Soundwave.  Shut up Knockout [Breakdown].
[Megatron: And yet still preferable to your incessant chatter.] O: [laughs]
[Megatron: Now get to those controls!] C: Yikes!
O: He didn't say that to Soundwave, he just said it to Breakdown.  And I called him
O: Knockout again, I'm sorry.  You know who I mean. [Breakdown: Did you see that?  Those Autobots were CLOAKED!]
O: Oh, that's why I can't see them.
C: That's the invisible ones, huh?  I really did not like fighting these guys.
O: Me neither.
O: There always- there always feels like there's SO many of them!
S: Yeah, and I mean, oft- there have to be barracks or something considering how many...
S: Just how many Autobots there are. O: Yeah.
C: You'd think. O: Something.
O: Okay, is there health over here?  Because I'm needing it!
C: Oh wow. O: Thank you!
C: Kind of amazed you lived through that. O: Me too!
[Megatron: My rule is destruction!]
C: So, I've been trying to keep an eye out for it while Owls has been playing but  
C: Specs, have you seen any of the uh, Autobot symbols? O: Oh, I shot one earlier! [laughs]
C: Oh, did I miss it? S: Yeah, there was one a- a few minutes ago.
C: Dwah! S: Then there's one there.
O: Oh!  Well, that's not the one you shoot. S: Ah.
O: Or are you talking about something else?
S: Sorry, I was thinking about the doors.  Oh, EMP mine. C: Reboot!  404 blue screen.
O: [laughs]
O: The uh, image of an Autobot bluescreening is really funny to me right now.
S: Well... you know Swindle would blue screen if someone suggested you give them something for free unless  
S: it was Megatron in which case, Swindle would have- O: "Yes, sir!  Please take it, please take it, sir.  I don't need it anyway!"
S: "I got it for you, sir!  As a present!" O: Something like that.
C: The only thing that Swindle would give someone for free is an IOU. S: [laughs]
[Megatron: Activate the bridge!] S: Yeah.
O: Only after we find ammo ya dumbshit! C: [laughs]
O: This is how I would actually die, is calling Megatron a dumbshit. [laughs]
O: Okay, you're still not ammo.  But maybe if you're something you'll give me some ammo?  No, I'm good.
C: Love that name 'Scrapmaker.' O: Yeah, it's a pretty- it's pretty good name because  
O: it's like the Cybertronian equivalent of the 'Widowmaker'.
S: Yeah.... C: Right.
S: Or corpse maker. O: Yeah.
C: Oh, Megatron is uh- O: What do they have to do?  Like, reach into your brain to activate that, or what?
C & O: [laugh]
S: You might have to like, do an uplink to it, I don't know. [Soundwave: The bridge is extended.]
[Soundwave: We now have access to the other side.] C: Oh, I guess that makes sense.
[Megatron: Finally.]
[Megatron: Decepticons -- move quickly.] S: They're robots.
C: Yeah. [Megatron: We must reach those guns!]
C: Maybe it'd be the equivalent of like, a- well, no it wouldn't be quite the equivalent of a retina scan because retina scan is biotic to machine.
C: We don't really do anything that's biotic to biotic.
[Breakdown: At least get me out of the blast range!]
[Breakdown: There's Omega Supreme!  Watch out... Megatron: Faster, Decepticons!]
O: You're the slowest one here, buddy. C: [laughs]
O: I'm sorry but ya are!
[Breakdown: Heads up!  More mines!] C: Who keeps putting these things in here?
S: The Autobots?
[Breakdown: Is Omega still out there?  Did we lose him?] O: How- how do you think they control speed?
O: Like, these are speed traps, baby! C: [laughs]
S: They're kind of shitty speed traps.
[Breakdown: Guess not.] O: Well, I mean, you would pay attention to the speed limit.  If you didn't would explode.
C: [laughs] S: Okay, that's not so much a shitty one.
C: I mean that's a good point I'd have to imagine that people would [Breakdown:  We're not going to make it!]
C: be more willing to follow the speed limit if the other result was DEATH. [Megatron: You WILL reach the other side, or I'll have your head!]
C: I think Owls thinks the objective is to run into as many of them as she can. O: "We will reach the other side or I will kill you!"
O: I don't remember if this was the right thing to do! [laughs] C: Oh god.
S: Looked like, yes! O: Apparently, it was.
C: When in doubt.
O: When in doubt, just keep fucking going! [Breakdown: We made it!  I can't believe it!  WE MADE IT!]
C: [laughs] [Megatron: Yes, Breakdown
[Megatron: your constant whining saw us through.] C: Who do you have a picture up on your wall?
C: Right next to you.  Right now.
[Soundwave: Megatron -- the second cargo elevator is nearby.] C: Of- of the the robot that says, "Just get it done!"
[Soundwave: It will take us directly to the heavy ion turrets.] O: [laughs] It doesn't say, "Just get it-"
S: Ultra Magnus? O: Yeah
O: I've got a picture of Ultra Magnus and Minimus. [Megatron: Perfect.  We shall ascend, and Omega Supreme will follow...
[Megatron: to his destruction.] C: It- it sounds like, it's that- in line with that.
C: When in doubt, get it fucking done! O: [laughs] I mean...
O: Kind of... maybe?
[Autobots: [Growling noises]]
O: Is this more invisible fuckers? [Megatron: More cloaked Autobots!]
O: GOD DAMN IT. [Megatron: Destroy them!]
S: Yeah... [Megatron: Shoot anything that moves!]
C: [laughs]
O: Yeah, I could be done with these!  You guys can take care of them, I don't care anymore!
O: And I'm legitimately curious what's over here but...
[Soundwave: Autobot cloakers.]
S: Unfortunately, there is no cake.
[Megatron: All Autobots shall perish!]
C: Oh no, no cake.
O: "Megatron wants MEGA CAKE!" S: [laughs]
C: You know for being invisible they aren't terribly crafty. S: Mmm.
O: Yeah, I know, right?  Like, you would probably want to utilize different strategy than this.
C: "We're invisible!  Let's charge right at them!"
C: They were just putting on a concert!  That's the stage! O: No, no
C: Didn't you see that one dancing? O: it's a service elevator.
C: Wow that one died really quickly.
[Megatron: Autobot weaklings.  Onward, to the lift!] O: I hit it with the- I hit it with a mace.
O: I'm good.
O: So many elevators!
O: Why are there so many elevators!? C: Well, like Specs said-
C: Like Specs said, gotta reuse those assets!
O: [laughs] S: Yeah...
[Soundwave: Megatron -- I detect numerous Decepticon and Autobot signals a few dozen meters above us.]
[Soundwave: We are nearing the surface battle.]
[Megatron: Starscream!  Status report!] S: A few dozen meters...
[Starscream (COM): The Autobots are counter-attacking!]
[Starscream (COM): Retreat!  Decepticons, retreat!] S: And how tall are they?  How many meters tall are they?
C: [laughs] [Megatron: BELAY THAT ORDER!]
O: They're space meters, Specs. [Megatron: Decepticons, this is MEGATRON!]
C: [laughs] [Megatron: Anyone caught fleeing this battle will be]
S: Space meters! [Megatron: marked on sight!]
C & O: [laugh] [Megatron: Press your attack IMMEDIATELY!]
O: Goddamit, Megatron! [Starscream (COM): Attack?  But Megatron -] 
[Megatron: Especially you, Starscream!]
[Megatron: I order you to continue the assault!  Megatron out!] O: [laughs]
C: "Especially YOU, Starscream!"
O: "You pissed me off by ignoring me, asshole!"
[Megatron: We've reached the ion turrets.  Now-- let Omega Supreme come!]
[Autobot: Target the Seekers!  Get those Decepticons out of the sky!]
[Breakdown: Looks like the Autobots are still using these guns, Megatron.  Our Seekers are getting shredded.]
C: [laughs] Oh dear. [Megatron: Blast the Autobots and take those guns!]
C: So Specs, if there was going to be a commissary,
C: would it be in one of these buildings out here? [Megatron: Decepticons, follow me!]
S: Um, maybe?
S: There's an awful lot of like uh, weapons and placements for a commissary.
C: That's true.  I've always wondered why these weapons are here?
C: Like, I suppose- O: Maybe they were installed later, like after the war started?
C: That would make sense. S: Maybe?  It's just the thing is like,
S: it's a good 'dungeon' effectively, but I'm not sure what the point of any of these are because  
S: there aren't any offices right or anything. C: Right.
C: I mean maybe- maybe that is the answer is
C: that these locations have been just converted into a war zone.
C: Although, I do feel like it's a missed opportunity.  I think it would be pretty cool if you like, had
C: to fight in a library or something. You could even throw a O: The archives.
C: Right- right- right. O: I think you actually go into the archives in the Autobot level if that makes you feel any better?
C: Oh, okay.  Yeah, a little bit.
S: Yeah, that's interesting.  I didn't know that.
O: I might be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure that's where you fight Soundwave and his gremlins.  [NOPE.  I'm very wrong, I'm thinking of the prison level. ~O]
C: Gremlins?
S: Uh, Rumble and Frenzy, I think? O: Yes!
C: [laughs] O: They are TINY!  They're like half your height and like
O: you have to attack them. C: And you don't want to feed them after midnight.
O: Yes!  Well, I- C: You don't want to feed them Energon after midnight.
O: Uh, mistake!
O: Fuck you, whoever's shooting at me.
C: Like, uh, Ravage, Buzzsaw-
O: Say that again?  You cut out. C: Oh, I'm sorry.  Uh, so they- what are they called, minicons?
O: They're- well, minicons, the cassettes, either. S: Yeah. 
C: So out of- out of the ones that we know of, which one would be Gizmo?
S: Gizmo? O: Uh, from Gremlins.
S: Oh.
C: Oh, sorry- O: I- I don't think any of them are, sweetie.
C: Fair enough. O: [laughs] They're all just little- little gremlins.
O: Oh my god, I hate you ALL.
C: There's quite a lot of fire going on right now. S: Yeah.
S: I mean heck the way this is outside this looks like it could be
S: say, an outdoor shopping arcade or something, maybe.  Which...
O: Well, that works. [Megatron: Suitable for one such as Megatron!]
S: Makes me wonder like, whether the um...
S: say the medical packets, would be something like, whatever Energon goodies would be.
C: Yeah. O: Maybe?
[Soundwave: Megatron-- analysis indicates the firepower of those turrets is sufficient to damage Omega Supreme.]
[Breakdown: Speaking of Omega Supreme...] C: Well, Specs did say that the Nucleon
C: stuff was crazy powerful, so that kind of makes sense. [Megatron: Precisely as I had planned.  Decepticons!]
S: Yeah. [Megatron: Man the turrets, and blast that obsolete hulk out of the sky!]
S: Like, Nucleon was kind of the original Dark Energon [Omega: Targets: re-acquired.  Attack: commencing.]
S: plot wise for G1. [Omega: Decepticons: prepare for destruction.]
C: Okay. O: Oh god!  Why- why can he blast through the wall? 
O: Why-why can he pass through the wall guys!?! C: He has no clip turned on.
S: [laughs] O: That- that is cheating. 
C: [laughs]
C: You expect Megatron Supre- er, Omega Supreme to play fair!?!  I can't- O: Yes!  You're a goddamn Autobot.
[Megatron: Decepticons!  Repair your leader at once! Omega: Rockets: Activated.]
O: Yeah, Soundwave buddy, where are you!?
[Soundwave: That was extremely inefficient.]
[Soundwave: You must commence repairs on me at once.]
O: Soundwave, heal me!
[Megatron: Yes, this is a true instrument of destruction!]
O: Oh god. C: He's too excited about that turret.
O: Well, I'm gonna die so what's- what's Soundwave gonna do then? [Megatron: Attack, Decepticons!]
[Megatron: We defeat Omega Supreme here or we die trying!] C: Uh... stab Dark Energon into you in the hopes that it resurrects you?
O: I mean, I suppose that's still a better option than what Starscream did, sure.
S: Yeah.
O: Seriously, ahaha, sweet god- health!
C: So here's a thought, where is Starscream during all this?
O: Uh, up in the air fighting or he ran away [Megatron: Homing rockets!  Take cover!]
O: uh, because he didn't want to die.  One of those two.
O: I think there were other guns, I should probably get up there and use those, huh?
O: Hmmm, this is too high.
[Soundwave: According to my calculations, our chances of defeating Omega Supreme are... very low.]
C: Oh, you're dealing damage now.
O: Oh, dammit- I keep using the wrong button!
C: Mm, now you're mobile. O: I'm using a controller not a keyboard so
O; those buttons aren't the actual buttons for me.
C: Yeah.
[Megatron: Decepticons!  Omega Supreme has deployed Aerialbots!] C: So, on a normal day what would uh,
[Megatron: Shoot them down!] C: what would Omega Supreme's functions be?
O: Well, he protected the Crystal City in the original G1. S: Yeah.
S: Like, um, he was a guardian robot? [Breakdown: Are we making any progress at all here?  I can't tell!]
O: Yeah, like, they would protect uh, cities.
S: Yeah, in Animated they were made specifically, I think, for fighting the Decepticons.  Um...
O: Yeah, they definitely were.
S: And they weren't especially- I don't think they were supposed to be esp-
S: particularly smart, but I don't it's been a while- O: They were basically *only* weapons
S: Yeah. C: Gotcha.
[Omega: Target: re-acquired.  Weapons: engaging.]
O: But yeah, in G1, Omega Supreme was the protector of a city, essentially. S: Yeah.
S: And uh, that's uh, the Constructi- O: That frequently is his function.
S: Yeah.
O: And I believe it was in the IDW comics as well? [Megatron: Omega Supreme's main weapon batteries are charging!]
[Megatron: Prepare for evasive action!]
S: I... think so too, but I don't actually remember.  O: Yes!  I hit the right button!
[Soundwave: I continue to require maintenance.]
C: It's kind of a neat idea. Just that uh,
C: you have these robots which are already big, and even though they're larger than life
C: compared to us they themselves uh, utilize- O: Live in a world where they can be significantly smaller than...
O: than like, the other things around them. C: Right, they build their own versions of what are essentially our fantasy golems
C: to protect them.
[Autobot: AHHHHHHHHH!]
C: There's your death cry, Owls. O: Yeah, there it is again.
O: I'm gonna be not very nice.  I think his spaceship form is kind of dumb? [laughs]
[Megatron: Your power is failing, Omega.  Soon you shall bend to my will!] C: it kind of looks like a giant eyeball that's just floating out in space.
O: Yeah, yeah, like, it's not... it's not great, alright?
C: I know they wanted to make this a fancy boss fight and everything but like, [Soundwave: Warning!  Sensors indicate Omega Supreme]
[Soundwave: is powering up his primary beam weapon!] C: I kind of feel like it would make more- if he's gonna turn into like a flying thing  
C: it would make more sense if he turned into an aircraft.  Like a flying aircraft carrier?
S: Uh, he kinda is? O: Yeah-
C: Really?  Am I just not seeing it?
S: Well, he deployed all of those dudes. O: Yeah, he is deploying them.
C: Oh, he is?
C: Oh my goodness, you're right!  I just never even noticed! [Soundwave: Megatron -- sensors indicate Autobot fliers incoming.]
O: My name is Chezni, and I do not notice things. [laughs]
C: [sighs] I do tend to miss obvious things. [Soundwave: Scanners indicate Omega Supreme's power levels are dropping.]
[Soundwave: Omega Supreme approaches!]
O: Dead yet, Omega?
S: Uh, no. [Soundwave: Caution:
O: I know. [Soundwave: We are being tracked]
C: [laughs] [Soundwave: by multiple explosive projectiles.]
S: He's got... a shield. O: Yup.
O: Gonna wait for that to go away and for him to stop shooting missiles.
O: There we go.
[Breakdown: HAHAHAHA!  He's going down!  Eat THAT, rust-for-brains!]
C: Now that's just mean! [Megatron: Omega flees like a coward!  Now-- let's finish the job!]
O: You- you do know how many shots the guy took, right? C: [laughs]
O: I mean, he took a lot of shots there, buddy!
[Outro Music]
O: Join us next time for the last part of the Decepticon campaign- The Final Guardian.  Fitting name.  Uh, thanks for joining us, I'm Owls.

The Siren & The Healer (3)
Natasha Romanoff arc
Chapter 3: The Doubts
Platonic Natasha x fem!Reader, Loki x fem!Reader (soulmates?)
Theme: With cracks between the most powerful superheroes of the earth, Natasha Romanoff does not find rest when she is assigned on a mission to find the missing pieces of a puzzling power that once nearly got into the hands- rather, tentacles- of Hydra. In order to unearth the pieces, she must dig through her own past and make a decision that might decide the fate of the earth in the coming wars.
Series: Will contain violence, death, destruction, softness, fluff, smut, friendship, and whatnot
Chapter warnings: Something some of you may like. Some of you might not. I personally did.
A/N: This was written a few years ago with an OC in mind so reader has a name but it is a reader insert.
Word Count: I am in a weird sullen mood. I don’t know what to do. I hate not knowing. Grrr! *shows fist to no one in particular* I had Korean Ramen- the one that comes in packets? It was fine until it starting feeling...not that cooked in my mouth. Blech! The only thing keeping me going is all you weirdos I love.
Also I need a drink. *sigh* *taps finger on the table* now where can I get something fine tasting and fast buzzing *narrows eyes at my brain*
MASTERLIST in bio, love
Nebula looked out at the ethereal reality of warm tones surrounding them as the ship sailed through another one of the cosmic clouds, on their way to the nearest filling stop before their stop for their next bounty. The space was everything she thought she was not. Vast, glowing, versatile, deadly and at the same time magnificent. It was too beautiful to miss even the smallest corner. Too stunning to miss breathing it in instead of the commotion going by in the ship somewhere.
“You seem well.”
Now there is something she would have never missed for anything in the world had she not been helping her insane father annihilate the universe. By the mere tones, she could remember every last breath she shared with him when they were working together. Rather, when she was supposedly working him.
“Compared to the last time-”
“I’m not that person anymore,” Nebula quipped too quickly, turning her head to find Loki standing right next to her. Right in her space. And her insides surprisingly seemed fine with it.
“Of course,” Loki agreed and Nebula couldn’t help but notice the warm glow the nearest star left on the frost giant’s face when he wasn’t brooding. Slowly, bits of their time together were coming back to her. The day they were having a duel to measure each other’s strength. More like the day they were looking for ways to break the other in any way they could find.
“You look-” she stopped to give him a once over before giving that blink-and-you-miss tilt of her head- “battered.”
Loki chuckled. She hadn’t changed much. Something Loki was happy to find out. Just like that day when he overpowered her on the battlefield, making her raging cries come out at him with no restraints. He never truly liked how she had been broken by her excuse of a father; he knew about that experience all too well. But he liked the fact that she could never be undone by any enemy she faced.
Until that fateful night after the fruitful battle.
“I was supposedly killed by your-by Thanos.”
Nebula felt her head swing at her with the same intensity as that star in front of them. He could still see the same sharpness in her dark eyes as he did that day when he had taken her by her arms and pushed her into the wall, leaning in closer to her lips till she had realised what had really been going on.
“But one moment I was floating and waiting for death to take me to Hel and the very next I was…”
There it was again. Nebula knew this look. That look in Loki’s eyes when his pupils dilated just right amount on him encountering the unknown and- unlike his usual way of keeping his guard up- loving every single bit of it. That was the look she had received when she had pushed him over the tousled sheets and got on top of him.
“Being saved,” she finished the emotions he seemed to be floating in at that moment.
Loki looked at her and for a second there she hated that tender look from him.
“And then your sister tells me you have all lived near about five years before you reversed it all.”
“Stark did,” Nebula was quick to mention, never missing that slight surprise in those green eyes before it is quickly mixed with wonder and just a swig of contentment. But just as soon as those shades arrive, they run away, making a place for a morbid concern.
“Is...is he…”
She blinked at him before slowly turning back to watch the star.
Loki felt a strange hue emanating from Nebula. A whiff of this new feeling. Was that...was that love? For Stark? What had happened to her for her to empathise with a mortal, even though it was Stark himself? What had gone down while he had died and come back to life?
“We’ll be making jumps soon-” Nebula clears her throat, her body going rigid, readying itself as her arms went to her sides- “better find a corner to hide or a support to hold on to.”
And she left Loki to stand in the chromatic tones created by the light entering the windows, colouring him in all shades whilst he watched her disappear around the corner, leaving him with bittersweet memories of the past and a sour taste of present.
___
Time: 0600 hrs
Location: Austria
The clouds above the European country were a soft welcome for the Wakandan heli-carrier. The first sun rays bounced off them with the softest of glow, entering the heli-carrier and putting a smile on the pilot’s face as she took the world outside Wakanda in for the first time.
“Aneka, my sister ” a voice called from the holographic image beside the controls in front of her.
“General,” Aneka greeted Okoye with her arms crossed against her chest. Okoye returned the greeting.
“Have there been any developments since you left Wakanda?”
Aneka transferred Okoye to the table in the middle of the control room where a document titled Yuri Chekhov lay. She tapped it open for Okoye to see.
“Yuri Chekov’s location has been narrowed down. He was seen visiting the local University last night and spotted in the city early this morning. But no one else from his contacts or dealers have been sighted with him. Should I bring him in, nonetheless, General?
Okoye looked at Aneka, her face stoic ever.
“No, Aneka. You are in no way to sway from the orders you have been given. You are aiding the Avenger in her mission at the request of your king. Nothing more. You are to stick to gathering intel on the human trafficking activities of his dealer.”
Okoye’s expression did not falter for even a second. 
Ever the composed one , Aneka thought. No wonder she was chosen as our General. 
“Yes, General. For the king.”
“Now, where is the Avenger?”
Aneka let in a huge chunk of air before getting it out of her flared nostrils. “She went into the Ingcambu chamber three hours ago.”
Okoye took her eyes away from the screen, looking at something far beyond the halls she stood in right now. The movement in her shoulders told Aneka there was something her General was considering quite seriously. It was best she wasn’t bothered by her thoughts.
“Update me when you land,” she finally spoke, “ If things get too ugly, you will have reinforcement on speed dial in the Avenger’s K-13 model.”
Aneka nodded as she opened a slot under the table to produce a matte black box with the symbol of the Black Panther in the centre.
“Let us pray you do not ever need it.”
.
Just a full-length corridor away from where Aneka watched the golden clouds, stood a vibranium door with a do not disturb sign. Inside the room, purple hues danced across the walls encrusted with laboratory-made vibranium crystals at measured lengths, the only source of light being the LEDs at the centre on the roof, covered intricately so that the light touched every crystal in the room before reaching the centre. The wall opposite the door had computers set up to measure vitals of anyone present in the room, the frequency of the crystals and a collection of songs from all over the world.
In the centre of the room, Natasha lay on what seemed like a spa bed, her breathing in control, her heart rate normal. The screen on the headrest read her brain waves, picking on a certain periodic rhythm almost in sync with the orchestra playing on the speakers around her.
The rhythm was that of her smooth movements across the wooden floor inside her head, recalling the graceful movements of her ballet lessons. She could see herself in the mirrored wall of the studio. Her long red hair neatly tied up in a bun with a white ribbon. Her porcelain figure clad in black till her toes. Her eyes did not leave her reflection’s even as the rest of her body kept in sync with her old routine. After she was done, her hands, with a mind of their own, went to her old wound on her abdomen. Her eyes finally broke away from the mirror on finding nothing but smooth skin where the scar once was.
“Natalia! chto ty delayesh ?” a high pitched stone-cold voice pierced through the room, making her flinch and turn without wasting another second.
A grey-haired woman, with silver piercing diamonds for eyes, stood at the other end of the room. Her tall figure stood there, staring the life out of Natasha, with her arms crossed across her chest.
Suddenly, Natasha could smell the perfume around her. It was so delicate yet sharp that if the perfume had a physical form, it could pierce through the heart of any man within a matter of seconds and they still wouldn’t know what happened. 
“Madam Elena.”
She was surprised at hearing her voice tremble slightly as she bowed her head and stood with her hands holding each other in front of her.
She did not look up in the direction of the old lady even when she tried. An unseen force stopped her from doing so. Facedown, chest out, back straight - she kept reminding herself. A few seconds later, she heard heels click on the floor, drawing closer with every passing second.
“What did I tell you about losing your focus, Alianovna?”
Natalia could feel the throb in her veins pick speed at the sound of Madam Elena’s voice. The Russian accent as crisp and cold on her tongue as the first winter she was made to stand out in. Naked, Natalia could feel the room get chillier than it already was.
“That losing my focus and purpose would be the death of me, Madam Elena.”
“Not only you, witch .” another familiar voice called out from behind her. With the voice came a stench of gasoline and fire burning away dead bodies.
“Stefan! ” Natalia hissed through her teeth as she saw a shadow in the mirror.
“You were the death of all of us.” Stefan hissed as everything around his figure in the mirror started burning up.
Natalia backed away from the mirror, her shoulders finding their composure, her breath and her heart finding their steady rhythm as she looked down at the burning shadow of her old comrade.
“No. I was not,” she could not stop the tremble of her words, her eyes moistening up, her breath running wild, “It was your choice to choose death. You all had it coming for you.”
She looked at the mirror that, now, reflected only her own figure standing between the fire when suddenly Madam Elena’s face came out of the darkness and into the light of the flames, half of it burned to a crisp, her silver eyes still intact but carrying a menacing stare as they pierced through the reflection to Natalia’s gaze.
“So do you.”
 Natasha’s eyes opened wide as her body jerked her awake.
She was back in the vibranium chamber. Her eyes tried to focus on things around her, taking everything in, noticing a chill around her chest. Her hands realised she was sweating. So had the monitors connected to the air conditioning around her. She got up, putting all her long fiery strands back in their place. She picked up her white blouse from the table harbouring the monitors and put it on. The black leather jacket went above the blouse effortlessly. Everything was done like one smooth wave rushing over to the tips of the beach, not breaking for even a second.
Aneka saw Natasha Romanoff came out of the Ingcambu chamber looking more poised than she had when she went in. Whatever doubts the member of the Dora Milage had about this redhead disappeared as she saw her stand in the control room, taking updates from her as well as two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who had accompanied them. 
The heli-carrier descended on a private airport strip near a forest just as the screens pinged with the recent location where Yuri Chekov was spotted ten minutes ago.
“Keiko, get the weapons. Brunn, bring out the lady,” Natasha said as the open end of the carrier welcomed them to a cold but colourful scenery.
Aneka too was dressed according to the weather in her red sweater, black jacket, black leggings and black boots. If she was carrying her spear, Natasha could not make out where she had hidden it.
Keiko came back running, carrying two huge bags supported on her hips. Aneka was surprised at the Asian’s muscle strength, something her cute face never gave away at any point in their journey. All she did was smile at the Wakandan throughout the trip to the point that Aneka wanted to make sure Fury had not sent some lost college student by accident.
Brunn, on the other hand, was a complete opposite. His tanned skin did not give away his roots while his silent demeanour did not give away his character. Aneka was just thankful she did not have to pass a smile every time she crossed paths with him.
“Wasn’t this a recon mission? What are the weapons for?” Aneka asked.
Natasha put on her gloves, still exposing her fingers to the sunny winter day. “They are not for me or you…or Chekov for that matter. They’re for Keiko and Brunn in case we make contact with Meldrake and have to perform a rescue for the people he trafficked here if he did.”
Aneka looked at how casually she spoke of the man and the people whose lives were in his palms. Her work may be similar to our Nakia , she thought, but she doesn’t carry the passion in her eyes as our sister does.
“Then what are you carrying to the battlefield?” Aneka asked the assassin.
Natasha looked at Aneka and a smile reached the latter’s eyes.
Brunn came out of the carrier gently carrying with him a bike- a Kawasaki Ninja, all in black, modified to some extent. Brunn was very careful with her, caressing her as he stopped beside his commanding officer.
“She has been equipped just like you asked, ma’am”, Brunn said as he brought forward the helmet that went with it.
She thanked Brunn as she took the helmet and balanced the lady in black by her side. “I’m carrying this to the battlefield,” she said after putting on the helmet and motioning her hands in an outward sway.
Aneka looked at the bike questionably before wondering if it actually was the bike she was referring to.
Natasha motioned at Keiko, who skipped towards them and slid behind her with the grace of a golden retriever trying to find a comfortable spot. Brunn brought out a set of keys from his pocket for the SUV that sat by the hanger, about twenty feet away from them.
“Shall we, ma’am?” Brunn asked, pointing towards the four-wheeler.
Aneka looked at Natasha, who gave her an affirming nod before drowning the silence around them with the roar of the engine. 
Aneka and Brunn followed behind, keeping their distance.
She is not a soldier, she is something else and then so much more, Aneka couldn’t help but think to herself. And the thought was not a comfortable one.

Could you make something of a sequel to the prompt where Amy is the heroine and Sonic is the one crushing on her? But something more lighthearted with Sonic effortlessly chasing Amy and hilarity ensues.
Lol, which sequel? (x) (x) (x)
I guess I’ll just do my best and try something? haha XD
Since you said ‘lighthearted’ I think you mean to stay off the Maria Robotnik thing, right? Just some cute shenanigans with Amyic? (Sonamy gender-bend ship name? lololol) Got it. Got it.
Prompt———————–
The wind howled past the rolling hills that littered the Green Valley Zone. It was a zone Amy came to often, a place she felt some peace.
She relaxed by some flowerbeds and stretched, seeing the day was young and the morning finally peeking its glowing eye over the horizon.
She yawned, “Whelp, where to next?” she lifted a knee up and let her arm sit on it, just looking over the beautiful world she had protected since she was a little girl.
And then she noticed something out of the ordinary in the distance.
She squinted her eyes, seeing a faint shade of blue racing through the valley’s ups and downs. The reverse loop-de-loops and jump-pads.
“…Is that..?” She began to grow concerned, “Oh no…” It was like her mouth was being tugged back by two fish hooks, realizing who was coming her way. “Eeee… I’ve got to get out of here!”
She pushed herself off the ground and started running, though she knew she was nowhere near as fast as Sonic The Hedgehog.
Still, he would either tackle her with a snuggly greeting or propose to her again, and she just didn’t want her morning spoiled by such doting admiration.
She looked for anything to hide in, but only found a palm tree and quickly climbed up it.
When Sonic did pass by, it was just a streak of blue.
She sighed, thinking maybe her red dress could blend in with the jump-pad at the top of the tree.
She waited… and heard nothing.
“Phew.” she started to come down the tree but noticed a crabbot looking up at her.
She froze, blinking at it.
It snipped a metallic claw.
She feined a smile, “Nice bot. Good bot… stay back…” she tried to climb down again, but it leaped up and snapped at her dress.
“Ah!” she heard a tear but scaled up the tree. “You naughty little-!” she noticed that a small slit was in her dresses back, a little of her white underpants showing through. “You’ll pay for that!” she jumped to slam down on the little robot, hammering it out but it sprung her back up with the hardness of its shell.
It was one of those robots she had to destroy by flipping it over to its underbelly. The top made a BOOING sound as she was flown back up and into the jump-pad on the tree.
“Nooooo…!!!” she cried out, face-first into a series of pre-determined angles where the jump-pads would launch her into many more jump-pads for an almost infinite chain.
Once the chain was completed she was flying through the air onto a completely separate part of Green Valley Zone, a usual shortcut for getting around but this one was not quite how she wanted to ‘fly in style’ so to speak…
Before hitting the ground, Amy was taken by a swiftly moving bullet, an arrow through the sky of primary blue that held her close and landed safely to the ground.
“Pah! What are you-?” she was slightly dazed by the hits but shook her head and was quickly alright again.
She looked up to see the smiling face of Sonic The Hedgehog, holding her in his arms bridal style. With the sun blocking his face, he actually looked pretty cool. However, when the cloud moved away, his face was revealed to be shining eyes that sparkled dramatically towards her.
Her expression of awe turned suddenly to awkward shyness. A sweat drop appeared on the side of her face as her open-mouth shook at the corner, trying to be polite and smile but didn’t seem to register it quite right.
“I can’t believe it! I found you! Amy Rose!” he was like a fanboy she couldn’t shake off…
She lowered her eyelids, mumbling out her defeated words, “Hello, Sonic… Long time no-OFFPH!”
Sonic crushed her face into his chest, snuggling her with his head reaching deep into her noggin’.
With a smushed face, she grimaced, knowing he wouldn’t see it as she grew more and more agitated by his obsessive loving.
She suddenly felt a skim of his nose pierce through her quilled hair and reach the soft fur below it, sensitive since it never usually was touched.
She flinched and tried to wiggle free, lifting a leg to step down from his hold as he moved his head away from the back of her head and nuzzle up to her cheek to cheek.
“I was so worried about you! Especially when Rouge told me the Master Emerald was stolen by that thieving echidna again!” She leaned away from him, arms crooked as though trying to escape without being so obvious about it.
He blinked and moved away from her then, “Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine, Sonic…” she lightly let out, but it was clear she was desperately attempting to not be rude. He was just concerned for her anyway… she shouldn’t scold people for caring about her so much…
“B-but what are you doing all the way out here?” She rubbed behind her head, squirming a finger down through her quills to itch the place his nose once skimmed.
“Oh! I was looking for you, duh.” He put his hands to his hips, “I thought you might be hungry! I’ll pay!”
“You always pay.” She closed her eyes and gave off a nervous frown, knowing full well that when he pays, he automatically tells the world they went on a date together…
“Aw, come on! Let me treat you again!” He pleaded, but Amy just stuck a hand up and held her ground.
“No thanks. People usually feed me for free anyway.”
“That’s because you’re so popular. Heee~” he chimed back. “But really, I was awfully concerned about ya… Let’s go do something together! Today!” he placed his hands together, leaning towards her with his sparkling eyes of puppy love again…
She had to look away from them, sweating a bit as she’s never had to deal with anyone so enthralled by her before.
“U… Uhmm…” It was hard to resist him. He was so pushy sometimes…
“Hmmm?” he moved closer.
She sighed, blinking a few times to him before giving in, slouching over. “Alright, Sonic. You win.”
“Oh good! We didn’t have to wait for your grumbling stomach this time around!” he gave her a thumbs up and offered his hands again, flexing his fingers as a ‘come to me’ sign.
His smile never faded, at least that was nice.
But beckoning her into his arms like that..?
Amy rubbed the side of her face, “I think I’d like to walk, thanks.” she politely turned him down and started off.
He looked a little confused, but then pouted, “I have speedy feet for a reason… you don’t have to wear yourself out all the time, you know, Amy? You should let a man like me take care of you for a change!” he tried to puff out his bare chest, but then became self-conscious that he didn’t have large fluff like Shadow and Silver and withdrew a little as he looked away.
“I-I mean… I could be a decent boyfriend, you know…” he muttered, but Amy just waved him off and was still walking on.
“You coming or what?” she called, and his ears perked right back up, forgetting his insecurities as he took off to her side.
It took barely a second for him to catch up, holding his hands behind his back and leaning towards her while they walked. “So,… what’cha thinking about?”
“Nothing.” Amy shrugged.
“Were you maybe thinking about me? Cause I think about you all the time.” He looked down with his eyes closed, blushing a bit.
“Not really.”
Sonic twitched and stood straight now, looking at her sorrowfully. “Do you not think about me at all?”
“Only when I need to be.”
His face brightened up, “When’s that?” he said, cheerily picking up the happy mood again.
Amy liked that about Sonic, he was never disappointed or sad for too long. It was hard trying to comfort or make people happy, Amy wasn’t the best social person, but it was easy to talk to Sonic. At least, he made it easy for her.
“Usually when you’re in danger. I think about how I’m gonna get you outta there a lot.” Amy spoke very casually, but Sonic just took it like an arrow to his back.
“Is that so…” He breathed out, white as a ghost.
Embarrassed, but taking courage to prove himself to her, he tightened his fists and bundled them up near his face.
“Grrr..! That does it! I’ll make you respect me, Amy Rose!”
‘Good luck with that.’ Amy smiled, turning to him. “Was it something I said?”
“OoooOOOoohhh!” Sonic did his famous whine, taking her hand and looking dead into her eye. “Come on! We’re going on the most amazing date of your life!”
“H-huh?” Amy was whisked away then, Sonic taking places she usually had to fly in the X-Whirlwind to get too or walk long distances to make.
It was beautiful. A small joy ride she didn’t realize she had wanted.
When Sonic finally put her down, he smiled tried to hold her hand as she was distracted by the scenic nature around her.
She tensed up and her body quaked at the sudden touch, but Sonic just stood there happily. He lowered his eyes and cooed a little to her, “Thinking about me differently now, Amy Rose?”
Amy nervously kept her hand from closing around his own, just staring at him with awkward shyness. “You really don’t mess around about this, do you?”
“Amy! You should know I take our relationship very seriously!” Sonic defended, placing a fist by his hip and nodding in sincerity. “Whenever you’re happy, I’m happy. And whenever you’re in danger, I’ll gladly run into said danger too! I won’t leave you alone to face all the horrors of the world head on. Hehe.” he chuckled at the end with a sly wink to her.
“Anything to make me happy, huh?” Amy then changed her expression, and Sonic immediately blushed at it.
“A-anything!” he nervously nodded.
Amy leaned towards his face, a neutral and carefree smile now. “Annnnything~?”
“A-Any-anything you want! It’s yours! Even my very soul!” his bottom lip was trembling at her willing closeness now.
Amy smirked, “Then could you let go of my hand?” And winked.
“Ah!” he let go instinctively, startled by her abrupt flirt but realized he had been tricked. “D’oh!” he stomped the ground.
“That’s it! I’m not letting you escape this time!”
Amy was laughing as she walked off, thinking that was the end before Sonic tackled to her to the ground.
“Woah-wah-hey!”
They kept rolling till they naturally came to a stop, Sonic holding Amy tightly as she could hear his racing heartbeat.
‘Had… had it always beat this fast?’ she wondered, her hand directly over it as she curiously looked there.
Sonic was twitching in nerves, but took a deep breath to summon some courage, and looked at Amy with a serious expression. “Marry me, Amy Rose.”
“H-huh?” She looked up at him. ‘Again with the proposals?’
“I know you don’t need a man. You’re so strong on your own. But I really meant it. I would do anything to keep you happy, to stay by your side no matter what may come! I… I won’t abandon you, Amy Rose! You can count me in until the very end of time! Always!”
His declaration made her blink in a bit of sympathy. ‘Poor kid. I really have a hold on his heart, don’t I? No matter how much I try and loosen up for him, he still just grabs me back and gives me an even tighter hold on it. He really won’t just let my hand go… Will he?’
Amy looked up at Sonic and smiled, “I believe you, Sonic.”
Sonic suddenly loosened his hold on her, hearing those words. “Y-you do?”
“Em-hmm. And I think you’re a swell guy for saying them.” She nodded and moved a bit out of his grasp. “Tell ya what. If you hang around, I bet we’ll have fun adventures together.”
“And eat chilidogs again?” His eyes sparkled.
“Eh…” She looked a bit taken aback by that one. ‘Where’d that come from?’
“S-sure. Chilidogs it is.” she kept her smile but lightly felt a prick at her heart. He really was trying, and he wasn’t a bad guy either…
Maybe just a little bit hopeless.
Sonic sat up, nodding encouragingly as he watched her get up too. “Okay then, I will,” he smirked, a corner of his mouth showing a somewhat mischievous underlining to his thinking. “And then you’ll want to marry me! No questions asked.”
Amy just sighed and stretched her back, looking to see the sun had risen fully now. “Whatever you say, Sonic.”
The two looked back at one another, a long-held stare but both closed their eyes and smiled to one another.
A lovely couple indeed~
(Might go with (x) for a prequel/part 1?)

alright here we go!! *cracks knuckles*. no 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 32, 33, 37, 38, 40. yes do it!
40 Questions - Meme for Shippers
Also, sorry this took so long, but also look how many hard questions you had for me!!!
1. Talk about the first ship you ever had.     My first ship was for Roswell. I was a little tiny Junior High-er, and loved Max and Liz so much. It was the first fandom I ever participated in, and the one that made me discover fanfiction on the computer in the computer room. Sigh, 2000. My very first (terrible) fics were written about these two. I think I even had an Angelfire webpage dedicated to them. I still read for this fandom occasionally.
Tumblr media
2. Talk about three of the most important ships throughout your life.    Dreamer, because it was the first and the one that opened the door to fandom.     Then, not even a particular ship, but Heroes got me back into it after trying to leave it behind when I went to college.      Lastly, of course, Gremma. Because Gremma reignited my writing more than any other ship.
Tumblr media
4. What’s your current NOTP?   Always Evil Huntsman, S/Q, and Swan/fire
8.Have you ever shipped yourself with a character?   Like, in fic? No. Did I love characters so much and want them to be mine? Sure, of course.
9. Do you have many ships that never got together at all?    Let’s see … not at all? I have a couple, yes. But I think most of my ships at least had canon romantic interest. 
10. Do you ship any characters that have never met?      Maybe Darcy/Loki, but that’s a minor ship.
12. Have you ever been disappointed when your ship finally got together?       YES.
Tumblr media
15. Have you ever “shipped at first sight”?      Oh, absolutely and often.
Tumblr media
Luke/Jessica, Pepperony, Chidi/Eleanor, Mike/Fi, Shules, … the list goes on. (shockingly, Gremma was a “I know this will happen” but took me an few eps to come to love as much as I do)
16. Talk about a ship you initially disliked.      Hmm, maybe Military Punk. I don’t think it was full-on dislike (because nothing with that first scene can truly be that), but I wasn’t into it at first. Dammit, Paul.
Tumblr media
Also, Maeve and Hector. I thought I was going to love Dolores/Teddy when I first started Westworld, and was “meh” about everything else. Until maybe around 1x04, Dissonance Theory.
Tumblr media
17. Talk about a pairing you’ve stopped shipping romantically.
       Nick and Jess, New Girl. It just got to the point where I was actively rooting for them to be BFFs instead.
21. Is there a ship you just don’t get, but have nothing against?      Captain Swan. *shrug* I tried.
22. Which of your ships have the best chemistry?       All my ships have amazeballs chemistry. Grrr, can’t pick.
23. Which of your ships deserve better writing?          Ha. Hahahahahahaha. Easy.
Tumblr media
24. Do you mostly ship canon pairings?     Probably mostly ones that had shown romantic interest on screen. That doesn’t necessarily mean they were together forever, but at the very least there was a spark of canon interest.
25. Have you ever shipped a pairing before you even started watching the show/movie simply because of gifs and graphics or similar?       I thought of two for this. One was an easy Annamis, because they were so lovely and America gets things late on BBC (speaking of, will need to see Discovery of Witches, too). 
Tumblr media
   But there was one that full-on shocked me. I occasionally peek into fandoms just to see about fic, and one time I stumbled on a Star Wars fic where a ship was just hinted at. And it started a craving for that ship, and I read a lot, and I even wrote a bit. But I had only seen the original trilogy once when I was a kid, and I think the second in the prequel series without my full attention. How this translated to Obidala? No clue.
30. Name a couple of fandoms in which you have no ships.      The Haunting of Hill House. I think the romantic relationships are fantastic and pretty layered for not being the focus, but my main love in this show is the family dynamics and character studies.      And I still haven’t figured out how I feel about it completely, but in that vein: Umbrella Academy. I like certain dynamics, but no ships.
32. Share five must-read fics. (THIS WAS HARD!!!)       At The Toll Bridge by a tattered rose. OUAT. Gremma fic, canon divergent. I love the cadence and the style of this fic so, so much. It’s so lovely and lilted, and on point. It’s got such texture and layer, and makes me want more.      The Good Kind/2 by ygrawn. Heroes. Molly’s POV when Mohinder takes over care after S1. Gosh, this one is beautiful. Such a tangible, relatable child’s perspective of all this craziness that happens, and highlights that beautiful found-family that Mohinder and Molly make.       Innocent by mockingbird39. Roswell. This is back when everything was on their own fanfic boards, and I had to do some digging to find it because it’s buried deep in there. But if there was a place to learn about where I got to my writing now? It’s likely this fic. Beautiful and nuanced … just a gorgeous fic.      I See The Light by la lisboa. Gremma. Is this cheating? I just have such a soft spot for this beautiful fic, and I love that I was able to get little sneak peaks while she was writing. Honestly, though, it is a fantastic fic, and one of the few multichapters finished for this ship (my own fault included there).      And I’ve been agonizing over this list too long, because I was trying to do different fandoms, but: Moats and Boats and Waterfalls by blueink3, because it is That Good. 
33. Name your favorite fanartist(s).      And not just because it’s you, but seriously you are one of them. I love your AUs as much as your canon gifsets, and your coloring is always beautiful.      lonesheep is another, for their beautiful drawings and graphic manips.      …basically all my Gremma people. We have some awesome fanartists in out midst.      I have to give it up to Sleeping Hook fanartists, because they are the only reason I ship it. I feel bad, because I can’t think of names, but basically just all of them.
37. Do you have a favorite trope and/or AU for your OTP?       :D :D :D   Yes. For Gremma, all the babies is my most common fic trope. And I die for forbidden romance Princess AUs, omg.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
38. Do you like and use ship names?      Yep. I grew up in fandom with ship names, and while not all of my ships have one that I know of, I use them all the time for the ones that do.
40. If you could change one thing about your OTP, what would that be?      Oh, let me see, MAYBE THAT GRAHAM LIVED AND EVERYTHING WAS OKAY AND THEY HAD LOTS OF SEX AND BABIES???

Today’s theme: because Victoria Day falls between Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day, the theme of this program is going to be parents & music. I want to hear from you. Get in touch with names of formative songs your parents introduced to you, and/or songs you introduced to your parents that turned their cranks.

The theme of this episode is a simple one: what is the best Canadian artist/song you’ve discovered in 2018? It can be a new release, or any Canadian that you weren’t previously aware of - regardless of era.

The theme of this episode: a smorgasbord of tunes - food, mood, and gratitude. We’ll also feature some leftovers - songs which listeners recommended for earlier editions of The Midway, but which were not broadcast when received due to time constraints or other impediments. Sharing a feast for the ears.
