#they would be a much bigger threat

[downtofragglerock]

I think it's interesting that a lot of worm's greater threats are cases of transplanting villain archetypes from other media into it's setting, but without transplanting the opposing heroic archetype from that media

The Siberian is literally a stand (Manton's trick of hiding someplace nearby but safe so he can't be easily taken out while the protagonists deal with Sibby is literally the strategy of so many JoJo villains), but there's no opposing stand user present to properly fight it like in JoJo, leaving a seemingly invincible monster that can just plow through anything

The Endbringers are giant monsters attacking cities, but there are no benevolent kaiju, size-changing heroes, or giant robots to fight them, only a bunch of combatants firmly out of their weight and size class dealing with them, which leads to the casualty and destruction levels one would expect from such a match

Even the Entities are the kind of final boss you'd find in a jrpg or a Kirby game, but again, the kind of heroes found in those pieces of media that can go toe to toe with that kind of threat on an relatively equal level aren't present

There's probably more examples like this just aren't coming to mind right now

calling it right now that season 3 starts like this

Would kill to read animal POV fiction that has the animal POV’s interaction with humans be like, semi realistic to the level of caution most predators take with large prey and/or competitors (including humans).

Like instead of the usual - “the human is such a weak, pathetic creature... so slow, no claws, blunt teeth… completely helpless without its 'Fire Sticks'. how is it the master of the earth?” type crap it’s like, the bear protagonist or whatever approaches some dude who spreads their arms and yells and the bear is like “FUUUUUUUUCK THAT THING JUST GOT HUGE. IT'S LARGE AND MAKING NOISES. HOLY FUCK.”

Wait, so if modifications like being a seeker don't come naturally, how does getting those modifications increase lifespan? Are there bots that have an affinity for those mods that just happen to have longer lifespans on average? Something about energy usage? Curious.

Oh, it doesn't increase lifespan it decreases lifespan often by more than half.

cybertronians have two main factors that determine their lifespan frame functionality and their spark energy. Cybertronian frames are tough and last longer than any human technology ever could, but that doesn't mean they don't need repairs and Maintenance, especially with how harsh Cybertron's environment is. This is why the average lifespan is so different from the max. With the war and slowly dying planet, their not enough medics or resources for repairs to go around, and many more ways to get grievously injured or die.

As for sparks, sparks have a finite amount of energy. Most sparks will last around 100 thousand years, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. Anything above 125 thousand is some kind of outlier or a non-standard cybertronian. Once a spark has burned out, its essence will return to the Allspark, where it has a chance to re-emerge again into a new frame with no memories of any of their past lives. Returning to the Allspark is kinda like a recharge for sparks.

Lifespan does have a link to energy usage since a spark energy is finite. Bots that have powerful abilities that use spark energy or use weapons add-ons that pull from spark energy often have slightly shorter lifespans because of this. Seekers' lifespans are often shorter because it takes extra energy from the spark for them to function, shortening their overall lifespan along with the modification, making them more prone to frame failure. They are remade for war, not a life after war. Theirs a reason why autobots don't usually fly, well at least not in robot mode.

THE EX-MORNING SERIES CONCEPT

By now I think many people have heard that KristSingto’s upcoming series is an original script that was written for them. What we also have confirmed is that it was written about them.

[source]

KRIST: This series was written by P'Backaof and directed by P'Lit where they created this script from the start deliberately for the two of us and they got information for the characters etc. from KristSingto directly. In the series, the name for P'Sing is Tamtawan, and my name is Phatapi. And Tamtawan Tamtawan and Phatapi are KristSingto themselves.

INTERVIEWER: Does that mean you play yourself?

KRIST: [laughing] Yes, we act as ourselves, so it's not difficult at all.

Today, Aof elaborated on his part on Twitter:

And Jojo added:

[translation: @_beinglistener]

So, two gay men are the leading creative minds behind KristSingto’s comeback series. Time to study up on your KristSingto history, kids. \:D/

Long live sanctioned RPF. 🎉

Stickmin Space Resort but it's a tycoon game...

I think one of my favourite things about Laudna’s character in these recent episodes is the question of how much of Laudna is Laudna and how much is Delilah.

Laudna wanted the fire shard, but she confessed that she wasn’t sure if that was really her wanting it or if it was Delilah’s influence. So with this recent episode, was that actually Laudna who wanted the Willmaster’s power? Was it actually Laudna who called Orym ‘The Halfling’?

Laudna wants the power to protect her friends and Delilah is right there, willingly giving it to her. Why shouldn’t she take it?

With who Laudna is it’s completely understandable why she thinks that way, but this leads to Delilah having more control over Laudna, making it harder for the two to separate.

Laudna went back to being herself after the Willmaster turned to ash, but still in the back of her mind, Delilah is there. Waiting for Laudna to feed her another soul.

i think human nature/family of blood is a really good two parter in how it manages to show how full of shit ten is 🫶

i think what's really getting me about kozma claiming to have blown up the moon and also claiming to "be" the breach and basically equating "breach collaborators" and "my allies" in the same speech is that. the breach operative we've known since season one, the person who "is" the breach as far the story's concerned, is saskia. and midst is saskia's HOME! she built the black candle with her own two hands (metaphorically, at the very least), she LOVES it there and she loves those people :( and if we take kozma's story at face value, she just threw the "centerpoint" (according to imelda) of her own operation entirely under the bus and endangered the lives not only of innocent people but also of a bunch of her own operatives without their knowledge just to destabilize the trust and frankly that makes me kind of hope she IS telling the truth simply because that's the kind of betrayal i find absolutely delicious,

[seagreenkey]

been thinking abt it for a bit and while olimin and the implication that he did die and pikmin 4 is just an alternate universe right after 1 is terrifying, the evil green oatchi having a leaf as well makes me think it's something different. maybe it's some sort of parasite pikmin (or wraith maybe???) that mimics organisms it sees for its own gain (in this case, keeping the castaways hostage... for some reason. kinda like the plasm wraith). and we know olimar and oatchi have both been in the planet for a while so whatever those creatures are had more than enough time to study them and copy their behavior. food for thought....

Hi I'm Lauren I'm new to this app, I'm just trying to make some friends. Can i be your friend?

Oh—sure! Cursory glance at your blog shows that we have a few interests in common. Who’re your top 3 Owl House characters?

[pandoratheprocrasticreator]

If luz really did stay behind in the demon realm in kings tide then i wonder if she would have escaped from being turned into a puppet like everyone else. Probably not bc the collector would still have king and she wouldnt leave king behind.

Or maybe the collector would have straight up killed her. They definitely want to by the end of this episode anyway.

Lord now im thinking about that one idea I had a while back of a Pokemon Black and White and TMNT 2012 crossover which is just, the most early 2010s thing.

I just mainly think it would be fun if Hilbert, Hilda, Bianca and Cheren got flung to New York City and don't even really process how it's different from Unova until someone throws out a Pokemon and everyone panics (it would probably be Hilda ngl lol)

Also just the 4 of them watching the Ninja Turtles from the distance fighting something and they have a long passionate debate on what Pokemon they are supposed to be mutated from (cause like, they already have a lot of trauma and one of them has a fucking legendary dragon I don't think it's a huge stretch to think they wouldn't panic too hard at mutants existing)

Also Splinter taking one look at the four of them and instantly goes dad mode like"okay cool I get 4 more children" no questions asked

Need to rewatch the show so I can think this more

idk how other ppl learn to read characters but even when someone has very few lines, if they're not a few throwaway lines and have a smidgen of thought put into them, you can really deduct a lot of things from what they say without mountains of dialogue and array of actions they take.

cIaus, even Iucas via his few lines and interactive dialogue, is so easy to understand and learn what hes about from the dialogue you are given. it shouldnt be hard to mess him up

and even tho these are more active characters in the story with goals to achieve and story beats to hit, u rly can apply the same to lngo and 3mmet. u can make assumptions or deduct possible aspects about how they act from breaking down their dialogue and possible routine. some things might be completely speculative and pulled out of thin air but as long as it matches the characters general front its hard to go wrong

I think one of my biggest self insert oc/sona artist dreads is making designs based after my own physical appearance and someone genuinely comes forwards to say "you stole my oc/you stole my design" Do I just go up to all the mirrors and cameras in my home and smash them as punishment then? It sounds like a plan but I don't think it's the correct one...herrrm
