[voiceless-people]

Stilton cookie and Sunflower Cookie having a shower thought conversation. Literally. Stilton and Almond are weird about each other too I guess.

(I just vaugepost for 500 words. Yeag)

She had heard the door creak open, but heard no footsteps enter. Sunflower just assumed whoever was there meant to grab something and left, but there still were no footsteps or any noise for that matter. The door clicked closed.

"Can we talk?" Stilton spoke up, tapping one of his clawed fingers on the wall. He hovered in the doorway for a moment before sitting on the counter beside the sink.

She chuckled.

"There isn't a better time?" Hot water was running over Sunflowers body, soap being rinsed down the drain. She'd just put conditioner in her hair, the water weighing its petal-like shape into waterlogged flat yellow. She couldn't see him through the showers curtain, but the ghost sighed.

"... Probably." He kept tapping the counter. He paused. "Do you like it back here? In the city I meant. Well the apartment too."

"Not particularly. Cities are cold, and the buildings block the sun." Sunflower stares at the wall, letting the hot water wash away the rest of the soap. She stood in it for longer. "I don't think he wants me here, and I'm not inclined to stay either."

Stilton swished his tail- it phasing safely through any objects before curling in his lap. God it was annoying when he couldn't just down his physical opacity. Hm. Odd way to think of it. Annoying when he was alive. Sounds simpler, yeah?

"Well. I'd reckon if my wife ran off an' left me with our tot I wouldn't be too happy to see her either."

"Your wife?" His tapping stopped. She laughed again, finally turning the shower off.

"Hm. Well maybe I'd be upset for the ladder." The specter watched Sunflower peel her arm around the curtain, attempting to grab at a towel on the wall. Stilton leaned over to hand it to her.

"Yeah. Either way- you and I don't stay places long. I'm doing it for his daughter, but it's weird being near people I used to know." She wrung out her hair and wrapped the towel around her. "It's odd, seeing her all grown up after 19 or so years. But she doesn't seem to mind it, why?"

The curtain slid to the side and Sunflower stepped out. Stilton snorted, but covered his mouth. Now probably wasn't the time to laugh, but her hair was a complete mess, the long locks dampened and silly looking. She glared back playfully.

"Sorry- you look ridiculous, luv. I don't think that's gonna air dry." He's grinning, but his smile falters to look more sheepish.

"Like you're one to talk, can barely see your old dusty self in all this steam." Sunflower wipes the condensation off the mirror and flicks water at him. The specter swats at her and hops of the counter. She shoos him away, fluttering her hand. Stilton rolls his eyes and swiftly leaves the room.

He floats his way over to the apartments kitchen and looks around. Theres the pitter patter of feline footsteps behind him, and there stands the Constable and the little orange stray he liked bringing around. The cats hop up onto the counter, Constable Whiskers thick tail nearly knocking a cup straight off the edge. Stilton runs a hand over the cats back and moves away to dig through one of the cabinets.

He pulls out a tin of wet food, then digs through the utensils for a spoon. He takes Constables bowl alongside the spare for the stray and splits the can of cat food. Whiskers liked his with kibble, while little orange liked hers soupy from tap water.

Stilton doesn't hear the front door unlock, and misses the sound of keys jingling alongside something heavy being hung up. The ghost turns back around with the bowls and stops.

Almond walks by the kitchen, and the two look at eachother for a moment. The detective drops his gaze first, with a sigh he walks down the hall.

Stilton looks at the empty hall for a moment before setting down the cats food. Whiskers scarfs his down, but the little one only takes a few bites before starting at the ghost.

He let's his form become much more weighted, sliding down the side of the counter and onto the kitchen floor. The orange kitty follows him down, and sits inbetween his tail and leg. Constable joins them after a while.

Quality Control: Meaning, Advantages, and Career Paths

Ever wondered how companies ensure that the products and services you rely on meet high standards? Dive into the realm of Quality Assurance with us! In this article, we'll simplify the core concepts of Quality Assurance, delve into its significance, discuss its various forms, and shed light on potential career opportunities in this domain.

What is Quality Control?

Imagine you run a clothing business. Naturally, you'd want each piece of clothing you produce to maintain a consistent high quality, ensuring it fits just right and is free from any imperfections. To achieve this, you'd implement a Quality Control (QC) procedure, which might involve inspecting each item for issues like rips or mismatched colors, and ensuring the fit is as designed.

Diving deeper, Quality Control (QC) refers to the systematic process of verifying that a product or service aligns with specific quality standards before it reaches the consumer. It's a pivotal phase in production, pinpointing and rectifying any discrepancies or flaws before the final product lands in the hands of the consumer.

The significance of Quality Control isn't limited to manufacturers. Any entity that delivers a product or service harnesses QC to ensure that customers get exactly what they anticipate, preserving the integrity and reputation of the business.

Why Quality Control Matters

Imagine being a baker:

You're determined that every batch of cookies you whip up maintains a consistent high-quality standard – they should taste delightful and be free from any blemishes. To guarantee this, a robust Quality Control system is your best tool.

This might involve scrutinizing each cookie for imperfections like cracks or over-browning, tasting them for consistency, and confirming the freshness of the ingredients.

The primary goal? Making sure your patrons savor a delightful treat that surpasses their expectations, solidifying your standing as a trusted baker.

In the same vein, Quality Control is a cornerstone in the tech sphere for:

Boosting Customer Contentment: By ensuring products or services align with customer needs and desires, Quality Control heightens user satisfaction, paves the way for repeat business, and garners glowing testimonials.

Shielding Brand Image: The caliber of products and services is pivotal for upholding a brand's prestige. Quality Control acts as a sentinel, detecting and remedying flaws before they reach the user, mitigating adverse feedback and preserving the brand's esteem.

Economic Prudence: By pinpointing and rectifying defects at the earliest stages, Quality Control curtails expenses. This diminishes the need for reworking, conserves resources, and slashes the odds of replacing faulty items.

Optimizing Workflow: A meticulously curated Quality Control system augments the production trajectory, fostering efficiency. The outcome? A surge in output, diminished wastage, and bolstered profit margins.

Adherence to Standards: In various sectors, abiding by set guidelines and norms is non-negotiable. Quality Control acts as a safeguard, ensuring outputs conform to these stipulations, minimizing the peril of monetary penalties or legal entanglements.

Quality Assurance vs. Quality Control

Both Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) are crucial components in the realm of quality management. Though intertwined, they serve distinct roles in ensuring the utmost quality of products and services.

Quality Assurance (QA) emphasizes creating a robust system that ensures the consistent production of a top-notch product or service. Think of it as a proactive strategy: it's about establishing the right practices and standards from the start, aiming to prevent any defects from happening in the first place.

Quality Control (QC), conversely, is more about catching any slip-ups once they've occurred. This is a reactive approach, where products or services are examined, tested, and reviewed to ensure they adhere to the set quality benchmarks. The goal here is to spot and rectify any flaws that may have slipped through.

Interplay of Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Think of Quality Assurance (QA) as the blueprint of a building, and Quality Control (QC) as the inspection of that building once it's built.

QA sets the stage by establishing the systems, protocols, and standards – it's about designing a solid game plan from the outset. This proactive framework ensures that every phase of production is equipped to churn out a top-tier product or service.

QC, on the other hand, is the act of walking through the finished building, room by room, to ensure that everything has been constructed as per the blueprint. It's the subsequent check that validates the product against the standards set by QA and identifies any deviations. To further enhance your understanding of quality management, consider pursuing a Six Sigma online training and certification, which focuses on process improvement and quality control methodologies.

The Types of Quality Control

Quality Control (QC) comprises a spectrum of methods, each tailored to specific facets of production and quality checkpoints. Let’s unpack some of the most prevalent QC methodologies:

Process Control: Envision this as the orchestrator of a production symphony. Process Control is all about continuously overseeing and modulating the production processes. By monitoring the process, it's easier to pinpoint inefficiencies or roadblocks and then refine them to boost both productivity and quality.

Control Charts: Think of control charts as the pulse monitor of the production health. They chronicle a process's performance trajectory, flagging any inconsistencies or unusual patterns that might suggest a looming issue. A vigilant eye on these charts ensures early detection and mitigation of potential hitches.

Acceptance Sampling: This method is akin to tasting a spoonful from a pot of soup to judge its flavor. In Acceptance Sampling, a random subset of items from a produced lot is examined. If this sample aligns with quality benchmarks, the whole batch gets the green light. Conversely, if the sample isn't up to par, the entire batch might be discarded or sent for revision.

Product Quality Control: Here, the spotlight is on the finished product. It's about meticulously scrutinizing the final item, putting it through tests and evaluations to ensure it's in sync with the desired specifications. The goal is clear: ensuring that what reaches the consumer is impeccable and up to the mark.

Quality Control Career

For those with a keen eye for precision and a fervor for upholding product excellence, a career in Quality Control (QC) beckons. The QC domain offers a myriad of roles, catering to a range of expertise levels, from novices to seasoned professionals.

Quality Control Inspector: These vigilant experts examine products, parts, and raw materials to ascertain their alignment with set quality benchmarks. Their toolkit often encompasses measuring instruments, visual assessments, and performance tests.

Quality Control Technician: Sharing common ground with QC Inspectors, these technicians not only evaluate products but also delve into intricate testing and diagnostics, employing specialized machinery.

Quality Control Engineer: Tasked with designing and actualizing QC strategies, these engineers interface with multiple departments, such as production and engineering, fortifying the quality integrity of the manufacturing process.

Quality Control Manager: Helming the QC realm, they supervise every facet of the QC journey, ensuring procedural adherence and initiating quality-enhancing amendments when deemed necessary.

Calibration Technician: They are the custodians of the tools of the trade, fine-tuning and refurbishing measurement and diagnostic instruments to vouch for their precision.

Metrology Engineer: These engineers architect and fine-tune systems dedicated to product evaluation, affirming adherence to quality standards.

Statistical Process Control (SPC) Analyst: Armed with statistical prowess, they oversee and modulate the quality parameters of a process, safeguarding its consistency within designated confines.

Root Cause Analysis Specialist: When discrepancies arise, these specialists dive deep, discerning the fundamental triggers behind quality hitches and orchestrating rectifications.

Quality Documentation Specialist: Ensuring transparency and traceability, they curate and steward crucial QC documentation, from inspection transcripts to test summaries.

Supplier Quality Engineer: Collaborating with vendors, they assure that the procured components and raw materials are in congruence with stipulated quality criteria.

Quality Management System (QMS) Coordinator: These coordinators cultivate and uphold an organization’s quality paradigm, ensuring its resonance with globally recognized standards.

Evolution of Quality Control in a Tech-Driven Era

Quality control, fundamentally rooted in ensuring product and service excellence, is poised to undergo significant transformations in the tech-dominated landscape of tomorrow. As technology progresses at an unprecedented rate, the mechanisms underpinning quality control are set to be more cutting-edge, streamlined, and consumer-centric.

One pivotal transformation on the horizon is the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). These tech juggernauts promise to overhaul traditional inspection methods by infusing automation. The outcome? Speedier, precision-driven inspections with diminished susceptibility to human oversight.

Moreover, in an era underscored by digital interactions, the consumer voice wields amplified power. The omnipresence of social media and online review platforms has democratized feedback, compelling brands to prioritize stellar quality, given its direct bearing on their public image.

In Conclusion

Quality Control remains the bedrock of any brand aiming to forge a legacy of trust and reliability. For aspirants drawn to the meticulous world of ensuring excellence, QC not only promises a plethora of career avenues but also the intrinsic reward of shaping products and services that resonate with quality.

With this exploration into the dynamic realm of Quality Control, we hope to have elucidated its intricacies, significance, and the promising avenues it harbors. Should your curiosity about Quality Control or associated domains persist, stay tuned for more insightful discourses that aim to satiate your inquisitiveness.

Hat, I have reason to suspect that you've infected my for you page with cookie content. The question is, do I submit to it and have another cookie run phase Y/N

only if youre exclusively getting into the cookie detective subplot. otherwise it's not worth it

[fancycat-thesilvertux]

( @krzys2000 I’m wheezing! Okay, time to add my two cents.)

Bruce was at his wits end. Thanks to Fate’s warning, every magic user both part of the League and not - which included their enemies - knew what Batman was trying to do, and decided to Not Be Apart Of That, afraid for their lives and afterlives.

Honestly, Alfred wondered how it was that Bruce, regarded as a brilliant detective, one of the world’s greatest detectives, could do obviously overlook the solution to his problem.

“A glass of milk and cookies before bed, Master Danny?” A glass of warm milk and some cookies, among other things that Alfred set in mind to prepare to get the overly-stressed king of the afterlife to sleep.

Those other things included lavender fabric softener on the freshly laundered bedspread, the heat turned to just the right degree that the manor was nice and cozy feeling, and a turkey dinner, albeit it was turkey sandwiches since it was difficult enough planning family meals when most the family was on the go because of patrol and other responsibilities.

Danny grinned as he took the plate and glass of milk from Alfred. “Thanks!”

Danny didn’t even pause to think about just why it was Alfred had these at the ready. All he knew was free cookies and some milk to wash it all down with.

Alfred hid his smirk, pleased to see his plan working well, even if it was still in the beginning phase.

While Danny held many titles, he was still young. Still a child. And what child could say not to cookies and milk?

And so when Bruce got back home from yet another failure in finding a solution to his son’s lack of sleeping, this time Diana actually running the opposite direction as soon as she saw Bruce because she was NOT summoning Kronos’s ghost just to have him order Danny asleep, he was surprised to find Alfred motioning him to keep quiet as he led him to where Danny’s room was.

Bruce blinked before shaking his head, silently closing the door to Danny’s room before the two men left the hall.

“How’d you do it, Alfred?” Bruce asked, confused as to how Alfred managed to do what Bruce couldn’t and what many others feared trying. What black magic did Alfred perform to accomplish such a feat?

Alfred chuckled. “Master Danny is many things, and one of those things most often overlooked is that he is still a child. Children can be extraordinarily stubborn, but they will tire out easily when given the right motivation.”

Bruce blinked, confused, before realizing. He groaned. “Cookies and milk?”

That was a trick Alfred used to pull on him too, back when he was younger. And Alfred still managed to trick him with that too whenever Bruce was pulling too many all-nighters.

“Among other things, yes.”

“Alfred, you really the best of us.”

Batman slid over to Constantine after internally debating a singular issue over the last half hour.

“Constantine. I am unsure how to proceed with disciplining Danny. He needs sleep. How would you go about handling this?”

Constantine, on the verge of literally crying over the reminder that Batman is Danny’s father. Again.

“Bruce, he is a literal God-“

Gasp :00 is this an... angsty part 3???

Angst my beloved 👀

Also yes there is an angsty kinda ending at the last few ones. I should have wrote this as a one shot but I have no clue how to do time skips in one shots so take headcannon form instead 😎 it can kinda be read as a one shot ig?

Pure Vanilla x reader ft Sorbet Shark and Chess Choco - pt 3

~| Life in Black Raisin's village isn't too bad. Despite having little food, of which is mostly raisin bread or anything edible that can be found in a barren wasteland, everyone looks after each other. It was a good place for you to keep Sorbet Shark and Chess Choco safe.

~| You had decided to tag along with Gingerbrave's group after hearing how they were going up into the castle, hopefully to stop Dark Enchantress. Pure Vanilla had been gone for a long while, and you were worried about him.

~| Sorbet Shark and Chess Choco were told to stay behind. Of course, they did the opposite and followed you from the shadows- which Black Raisin had detected as soon as Sorbet Shark stepped a little too loudly.

~| Welp, now you were stuck with your children on this dangerous mission.

~| You we're soon met with the ancients facing off Dark Enchantress. It looked like it had been going on for a while, all of them were tired.

~| First thing Pure Vanilla did when he saw you was hug you, and then freak out asking why the children were here. He was very much panicked.

~| Dark Choco was there as well. Probably fighting alongside Dark Enchantress with the other Cookies of Darkness.

~| Choco boy is very jealous that his father's friend is an actual good father. He would find himself wishing Pure Vanilla was his father instead of Dark Cacao.

~| Despite all of you- the ancients and Gingerbrave's group- fighting against Dark Enchantress, she was still too powerful, nothing would even seem to phase her.

~| You had managed to get Chess Choco and Sorbet Shark out of the room as Pure Vanilla performed his final gambit. Dark Choco was supposed to go after you and stop you, but he kinda just pretended to not hear Dark Enchantress and continue sword fighting his father.

~| And bam, everyone dies gets scattered and a good few loose their memory. Unbeknownst to you, that may have been the last time you would see Pure Vanilla in a very, very long time.

Overprotection

Bio!Dad Bruce

Day 5: Overprotection

@biodad-bruce-month

Ao3 ~~~ First ~~~ Previous ~~~ Next

~~~~~~~~~~

About a week before her term began again,

Bruce pulled Mari into his office. After her telling them about the situation in Paris and him and Tim looking into it he was worried.

Seriously he found out the two heroes had contacted the Justice League but Lantern, Hal, had laughed at them stating it was a joke. After that they sent another video stating that all heroes affiliated with the Justice League, its members, their sidekicks, and even anyone that the above has worked with were banned from setting foot in Paris. Or else they would be treated as criminals. After that information was scarce. So he was rightfully worried about sending his daughter to a country he could do nothing in as a hero.

"Mari, your break is ending and I wanted to ask, do you want to go back to Paris to finish the term?" he waited for her answer watching her reaction.

---

Do I want to go back to Paris? Yes, no, maybe. She was confused and rightfully so. "Who wants to go back to a place to be held emotionally captive."

"So is that a no?" Bruce asked, making her realize she said that out loud.

"Well I... I want to stay in Paris it's my home, but this is my home too. I, I, I can't leave my... friends" she hoped she was convincing but even she knew she wasn't. Hell she stumbled on the word friends, yes she will miss her best friends but Chloe, Kagami, and Luka always call. They've been calling her once a day minimum, excluding patrols and fights, luckily no one has dropped in on their conversations or else... well she didn't know what her family would do with that information .

"Mari" Bruce was on her level, when did he get there, "Is something other than the akuma attacks bothering you?" This was the first time since arriving at the manor that she heard him speak that softly.

"N..." she bit her lip and closed her eyes making firm her resolve. "Yes there is something else"

"I'm here to listen. Even if you want to go back you still have your family behind you."

"Well there is a girl in my class who turned everyone and I mean everyone but one person in the class against me" she looked at him and she saw the same pensive expression when she was figuring out a lucky charm. "she lies with every breath and..." she started to cry.

---

As soon as she started to cry he hugged her. everyone who knows him knows he is not the person to go to with feelings, that would be

Dick, but here he is.

"You don't have to go back you can go to Gotham Academy with Damian. You never have to see them again." he whispered, but she shook her head against him.

"I have to go back" she whispered barely audibly. A frown began to appear on his features. All he wanted was to keep her safe but she refused everytime.

"Then Damian is going with you" he began, but he really should have seen her facial reaction. She had stiffened in his embrace, he thought it was because she would now have an ally so he had continued his rambling. "Damian has the most reign on his emotional state. Jason's not the most stable emotionally so that's out. Tim is helping run WE, but maybe I could get him into the Paris branch so you both have someone else to lean on. Dick is busy with his daughter not to mention the station so no. Cass..."

"NO!!!" Mari yelled pushing out of his arms, and

he was shocked and hurt and it must have shown. "Sorry, but no" her tone was firm, much

firmer than he had ever heard before.

"Why?"

She huffed before seeming to come to a conclusion "The Bats aren't allowed in Paris" she spoke quietly and then everything went silent and his brain functioning stopped.

When he was finally able to speak again, but still not think straight asked "Can you repeat that I don't think I heard you correctly."

She seemed to speak slowly and delibertly" The Bats are not allowed in Paris."

the had heard correctly but "How did you find out?" now he was concerned if she figured it out could others, they had always been careful about their identities. Steering clear of the topic with her.

"It was a few things, one the manor is much too quiet at night, two the thin excuses and sudden disappearances were all too familiar, and three Tikki."

Too quiet at night fine, can't do anything about that. Thin excuses and sudden disappearances, okay we can work on that.

"What is a Tikki?" He looked at her as if to elaborate but she remained silent as it waiting for him, oh, oh, "familiar, you're Ladybug" he looked at her and she gave him a knowing smirk. If he were Jason he would have cursed. Well that explains things. "Mini let us help you please" he watched her she passed through so many emotions fear, hesitance, regret, and ended on worry.

"I don't want to need to fight you Dad, I don't want to need to fight any of you." she was on the verge of tears.

"let us protect you, Mini, let us help."

"But"

"You're a Bat whether you like it or not and Bats stick together"

"How are we going to put an end to Hawkmoth"

"Do those butterflies show up on camera"

"Not until they are about to corrupt someone"

"That's out, how about..." the two stratigiod until Alfred said lunch was soon ready. "You know you never told me what a Tikki was and that was your third reason." she giggled.

"Come out Tikki. Dad this is Tikki the Kwamii of creation. She is the reason I can transform into Ladybug."

"Hello there Tikki. So how is it you were able to figure out our family's secret" he gave the little creature a small smile.

Tikki giggled and said in a chirpy voice "It's easy when you can phase through solid objects and end up in a cave with extremely recognizeable suits in it."

"Wait if you were in the cave why didn't the cameras catch anything?"

At this Mari held up her phone with the camera pointed it at Tikki and nothing was on the screen.

"How?"

"Kwamii and technology don't exactly mix. That's why you guys could look at a photo of me next to Ladybug and never realize we are the same person. That is until now since you have been told."

"Let's head over for lunch before chaos breaks loose and the boys come looking for us"

"Okay, wait! How are we going to tell everyone?"

"I might have an idea" Tikki's eyes shone with mischief.

---

Plagg may be the Kwamii of chaos but never, and I mean never get on the bad side of creation.

The plan was simple in the middle of the meal Tikki would phase out of Mari's pocket, under the table and then through it. Specifically next to Damian. Tikki was determined to get some sort of reaction from him.

She succeeded.

He was going to get his cap when she popped out. He jumped throwing his water all over him and falling backwards still on his chair.

No matter what happened Mari and Bruce were not supposed to react. Granted Mari recorded the whole thing. One thing she learned about the boys, have blackmail material it may end up saving you.

Damian, Dick, and Jason freaked out there was a lot, but I mean a lot of yelling.

Tikki had flown over and sat at the table between Marinette and Bruce where a plate of cookies were waiting for her.

Dick was the first to snap out of the trance of screaming, "Why is there a bug-mouse eating cookies on the table?" he still yelled and that was when Mari and Bruce looked up at them.

Damian was staring daggers at her reaching under the table, probably to get the katana hidden underneath, but he won't find it. Ah he figured out it was missing and is now, ohh he is pouting he really is a little kitten.

Tim, Dick, and Jason were staring yes, but they were staring at Mari and Bruce for an

explination.

"He is definately your brother little bug" she giggled still munching on a cookie.

"Really why is that Tikki?" Bruce had gone back to eating sparing a glance at Tikki.

"I called her a bug-mouse when I first met her too." Mari stated also going back to her meal.

Now all four boys were pouting. This continued until the meal was almost finished.

"sigh, I guess were going to have to tell them directly, non" Mari said over dramatically getting the boy's attention.

"That seems like the case" Bruce answered with a frown trying to cover the amusement in his voice. "In a family of the world's best detectives and they still can't figure it out with everything in front of them." Mari was begining to laugh.

"Perhaps it should have been in another location" Bruce responded.

"I still stand that transporting them to Paris would have been too much" Tikki replied to the conversation.

"The cave would have been overkill, but I still think their reactions would have been

just as funny" Mari countered. This got everyone's attention.

"Cave,what cave there's no cave" Jason surprisingly tried to do damage control.

"What do you mean by transporting to Paris"

Tim had asked looking between the three suspiciously. Then finally both Damian and Dick shared a look then looked at Mari and her and shouted "Ladybug!"

"Took you guys long enough" Mari smiled, Bruce was on the verge of laughter.

---

They then explained further the situation in Paris and in the end the boys seemed ready to fight the class as well as Hawkmoth for their little sister.

Damian and Tim would be joining her in Paris. Tim at WE Paris and Damian at her school and hopefully her class as well but there is still a week before she has to see those harpies she calls classmates.

MY RANDOM THOUGHTS ON AN AMAZING MOVIE

I absolutely love the upbeat song it starts with

And I love Millie’s accent

Can we appreciate the mother-daughter relationship in this movie?

I absolutely adore the scene of them reading together

Her gift is like super awesome

And makes me want to learn about the language of flowers

It’s amazing just how much Henry fills out his costumes

The most estranged family ever

Sam got so much into character with Mycroft that I have to constantly remind myself that is Sam Claffin

I love the Holmes dynamic so much

They all have such chaotic energy

And I absolutely adore Enola’s comments

The absolute disgust when Mycroft says “feminism” is absolutely hilarious

Eudoria completely fooled him for money

And I love it

I actually adore miss Harrison’s motor car

But I dislike her greatly

And am absolutely disgusted with her thirst over Mycroft

I STILL FEEL OUTRAGED WITH THE SLAP

MY BABY

I love caricatures

Bonding moment between my detective duo

First mention of Dash in the movie

I’m sort of curious about their father

They’re still not on the same wavelenght

My smart cookie

Is going to start figuring shit out

I find the money so odd

I literally did not suspect the grandmother

Even though she was shady as fuck

But I also thought the uncle was too obvious of a guess

Mycroft screaming “SHERLOOOOCK” with the sound of the train blaring

BABY BOY BABY APPEARED

His long hair looks so soft

But it doesn’t completely suit his face

That’s why I prefer the short hair

I just wanted to know his first name

THE HUMOR OF THIS MOVIE

Their chemistry is off the charts

Even the way they move around each other

Enola doing what teenagers do best

Not listening to their mother

In this case, I’m thankful she didn’t

“Terribly sorry” polite boy is polite

I would definitely not look down while the train was moving

Sherlock gets told off by the women in this movie a lot LOL

Enola in suspenders is everyting

HER EXPRESSIONS

They complement each other so well

Holmesbury seeing right through each other’s bullshit?

We love to see it

Why does the song playing on their sunset scene sounds like a fairytale melody?

It even has birds sounds

HER FACE OF ABSOLUTE PANIC SENDS ME

VOTE FOR CHANGE

Seems even more relevant this day

I love how everything is so intrinsically connected

Do you all feel like Mycroft has the potential to get better?

Even though I absolutely love his scenes like this

Money gets you eveything, everywhere

“a lady!”

This old woman is so greedy

If I saw a rat in the room I was staying in, I would just change places

R.I.P to Enola, but I’m different

Her not knowing what phase of the plan she is, is the most realistic thing of this movie

“This gentleman seems to be getting lots of attention” careful Enola, your attachment to the useless boy is showing

How old was Enola when Edith thaught her if even with her great memory she doesn’t remember it?

Everybody gives sound advice in this thing

My smart cookie at it again

I want to know more about Eudoria and her secret plans

I hate the coco hat guy

My daughter is badass though

And funny

And her loyalty to Tewkesbury is everything

Sounds like a busy day

Corset saving lives

My girl is full of surprises

I love how Viscount Tewkesbury, Marquess of Basilwether just became a priority in her life

They’re so filthy rich

My daughter is so very dramatic

And expressive

Lestrade is so nosy

It’s scary how I knew some answers to the Sherlock questions

The wardrobe in this movie is “chef’s kiss”

And the five pounds saga begins

That’s right, Edith, you tell him

Sorry, Sherlock, love you

All of the Holmes family is so dramatic

Enola becoming even more infatuated when she finds out how much of a nerd our boy is

Her trying to hide her little smile when Tewkesbury is called a “new thinker”

Millie looks absolutely stunning throughout the whole movie

BUT HER PINK DRESS LOOK

AND ALL THE FLOWERS

THE MOST MOVIESTOPPING THING EVER

AND THE WAY SHE JUST WALTZ IN FLIRTING WITH HIM

HIS EXPRESSION WHEN HE SEES HER

“CHEF’S KISS”

THEIR BANTER

THE WAY THEY JUST SUBVERT EXPECTATIONS

I love everything

The obvious mutual crush

The awkwardness

The vulnerability 

They have it all

The paralles and the differences

I’lL mAkE uS sOmE tEa

Love how casually she talks about his hair and smile

And how she realizes Lestrade is hiding

HIS DEVOTION TO HER

BE STILL, MY HEART

The scene between her and Mycroft is so raw

The laugh politely scene is ridiculous

“Then why did she leave you?” BITCH

Her face when she realizes the brother is Sherlock

I JUST WANT MORE OF ENOLA AND SHERLOCK

Don’t you just love how Holmesbury’s storyline is so completely connected?

DASH!!!

I JUST REALIZED THAT THIS WAS THE MOMENT SHE “LET HER MOTHER GO”

He came back for her just as she came back for him!!!

They stuck together after all

He pays so much attention to everything she says!!!

THEY HAVE SUCH DUMBASS ENERGY

WHEN THEY’RE TOGETHER

WHICH IS HILARIOUS

BECAUSE THEY’RE SUPER CLEVER

BUT PUT THEM IN A SCENE

AND THEY SHARE A SINGLE BRAINCELL

Little Enola is so cute

They are a WE

But like, how good is the final fight scene?

Her reaching out for him immediately after she takes Lintholn (is that his name?) down

The way I knew he would survive but my heart stopped anyway

And how Enola imediately runs to the grandmother in a rage

The handholding

Her hand is so small next to his

My clever boy

The tender brushing of hair

The forehead touch

Her touching the nape of his neck

Her holding his hand to get up

AND THE WAY THEY LOOK LIKE A POWER COUPLE

AND THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE

Sherlock owning the room as soon as he walks in lol

PROUD BROTHER

SHE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL

The uncle actually seems nice

How adorable is it that his mother offered her their house for her to stay?

HE’S SO SOFT

Her reaction to the hand kiss

Can we talk about that?

She has to close her eyes and take a deep breath

He lets tears roll down his face

I love Sherlock’s and Mycroft’s scenes

Like, they just be casually talking with each other

Passive-agressively

And the way both of them support Holmesbury

LOVE IT

I love how awkward Eudoria can be

She’s though, but soft

Do you feel me?

I feel like I already heard the song that plays when they hug each other

DID I MENTION THAT I LOVE THE HOLMES FAMILY?

Love how the “I don’t have to be lonely” appears her and her useless boy

The message of this movie “chef’s kiss”

Well, this got rather long

But I think I’m finished now

A christmas buddie fic

This fic is for @fyeahbuddie​ for the 911 gift exchange. @officerrxyes​ Buck was in Eddie's kitchen baking festive cookies with Chris on Christmas Eve. He thought it would be the perfect way to wind down, but it ended up being harder than he imagined. Eddie accidentally added way more. Instead of twenty cookies, they were now baking forty. All three had spent the day out, hanging with friends and family. Unlike last year the 118 wasn't scheduled to work for the holiday, which everyone was thankful for. "How much longer is dad gonna be," Chris asked. Eddie was out buying more frosting because they'd run out. Chris was eager to finish decorating his cookies, and so was Buck. 

"Soon, don't worry." By the time the last batch of cookies finished baking, Eddie had arrived. "Hey guys, I got the stuff!" Chris squealed, "hurry, dad, I wanna decorate my snowman!"  After about an hour of eating and decorating, Chris was put to bed a little past his bedtime. Buck was still in the kitchen, washing dishes because they didn't clean up while they worked. "Buck, thanks for doing this tonight," Eddie said, leaning against the door frame. "Yeah, of course, no problem. You know I love hanging out with Chris." Eddie walked over to the sink, "let me help you out." Buck sat down at the kitchen table with a tired sigh after they finished, "next time, let's not bake cookies from scratch. It's more stressful than rescuing people from burning buildings ." He joked, and Eddie chuckled. He loved making Eddie laugh. "Do you want a drink?" Eddie asked, pulling out a bottle of wine from the cabinet. "Yes, please," Buck said. Eddie handed him a full glass, and they walked over to the couch. "I'm glad we have these two days off. Last year was a bit of a bummer," Buck stated. "You did an amazing job with the surprise Christmas dinner last year. It was super sweet." Eddie said. Buck blushed, "it was nothing." They were lying on their backs on Eddie's living room floor, Buck's head resting on Eddie's chest. Neither of them dared to move; they wanted to stay like this, however long it would last. Moments like this started happening more often, where they would hold each other or touch on another as if they were together. They kept talking and drinking and time flew by. By now, they were drunk and having conversations about their childhood Christmases. "I remember when I was a senior in high school, my parents forgot about Christmas for like, the third year in a row. They were too busy trying to sell the house," Buck said. "They were always too busy for Maddie and me. But always had time to go to some stupid work event."  Eddie ran his fingers through Buck's hair. He stayed quiet, trying to figure out the most comforting to say.Buck sighed, "I'm sorry; I'm treating you like a therapist." "No, you're not," Eddie said. "Yes, I am. You don't even care," Buck stated. Eddie held Buck's chin, gently turning his face so he could look at him. "No, don't say that. I care about what you have to say." There was a moment of silence, and they just stared into each other's eyes. "I want to make you feel safe and heard." Eddie realized he was still holding Buck's face, nearly caressing it. Eddie wanted to kiss him so badly, but they were drunk, and he had no idea how Buck felt. "Eddie," was all Buck could mutter. His heart raced, he hopped Eddie couldn't feel it. Buck was just drunk enough to lean in, just a little. He hoped Eddie got the hint, but his hand let go. "It's already late. Maybe we should get some sleep; we've got a busy day tomorrow." Eddie suggested. Buck's heart sank. "Yeah, you're right," Buck sighed and slowly sat up. Words couldn't explain how stupid he felt; he couldn't believe he thought Eddie would feel the same way. "Goodnight," Eddie said, quickly exiting the living room, leaving Buck with the stupid wine bottle and glasses. ---Eddie woke up the next morning feeling like an idiot. How could he just leave like that, Eddie wondered? Last night's memories were hitting him like a wave, the conversations, how close they were, how drunk they were, Buck's head on his chest. He let his mind wander, thinking about all the things he and Buck will never have together. His alarm went off, disrupting Eddie's thoughts. It was only six-thirty, and Chris wasn't going to be awake for another hour and a half. And Buck was still here, but he didn't want to face him. He didn't want to ruin the perfect memory of last night with reality. Eddie tested the waters with a "u up" text and immediately cringed. "Yea, wanna make breakfast together?" was what Buck sent back. Eddie grinned at the reader like a child. He skipped out of bed and quickly brushed his teeth. "Hey, Merry Christmas," Buck said. His beaming smile made Eddie's heart skip a beat. "Merry Christmas," Eddie said. He looked at the kitchen counter; it was already a mess." Why does my kitchen look like this," Eddie asked. "Because I was looking for bacon," Buck said. Eddie rubbed his temple, "I don't have any bacon." "Oh," Buck giggled, and Eddie couldn't help but laugh too. "Let's just make pancakes," Buck suggested. After putting everything back into the fridge, they began working. Buck knew he was the better cook between the two, and things would've gone a lot faster he did it himself, but he loved doing things with Eddie. "How come mine keeps ending up like that," Eddie asked. They were both standing over separate burners, cooking the pancake mix. "Because you're holding it wrong, lean the pan a bit," Buck instructed. "Like this," Eddie asked. He was still holding it wrong. Buck hesitated for a moment before walking behind Eddie and snaking his hand over Eddie's. "Like that," Eddie asked. "Yeah, like that, Buck assured.  Buck's chest was pressed against Eddie's back. It was just like the night; they didn't mention how close they were to each other; they just enjoyed it. They were on their last pancake. "Good job," was all that Buck could say. He didn't want to make it weird, but this whole situation was strange. He wanted to be with his best friend, who had a kid and was married a few years ago. Buck let go of his hand and walked back over to his burner.  —- It was New Year’s Eve, and Eddie was replaying those two days in his head over and over again, trying to figure what he did wrong. Buck had been distant for a week, only a few conversations at work. “See you guys tonight,” Bobby said as they exited the firehouse. “Captain Maddie and I can only be there for an hour. We don’t wanna be away from the baby for too long,” Chimney informed. “Yeah, Mia is the same way. So I’ll also be leaving early, Hen stated. “No worries, guys,” Bobby said. “But you two will be there all night right,” Bobby asked. “Yeah, you bet, Cap,” Buck said. “Yeah, Chris and I be there all night.  He’s going through a don’t tell me when to go to sleep phase,” Eddie said. They all chuckled, said their goodbyes, and entered their cars. —-Eddie arrived with Chris on time, and the party was already in full swing. Their coworkers, family, and friends were there. “Hey Eddie, hi Chris,” Athena greeted them at the door Harry by her side. “Do you wanna play video games in my room with Denny and me,” Harry asked. Chris turned to look at Eddie, “go ahead. Be safe.” Eddie said, and the boys went off. “What’s been going on between you and Buck,” Athena asked. “Nothing’s wrong, we’re fine,” Eddie lied. Athena raised her eyebrow, “you two are usually joined at the hip, but you came here alone.” “Wow, those detective skills are top-notch,” Eddie joked, but she didn’t laugh. “Buck has been on the phone with Bobby every day, asking him for advice about you. It’s interfering with my life, so please just apologize so I can sleep peacefully,” Athena said. “But that’s the thing. There wasn’t a fight; he just stopped talking to me. I don’t know why,” Eddie explains. “You don’t know why you’re best friend is upset,” Athena asked. Eddie thought about last week for the hundredth time. Did Buck have a problem with how close they were? Did he make him uncomfortable? “Maybe I do know why,” Eddie said. —- "Hey, there you are," Buck heard Eddie say. Eddie had been searching for Buck almost all night. He was sitting on a swing bench in the backyard of Athena and Bobby's house. Eddie stood a few feet away from him as if he was terrified to go near him. "Yeah, here I am," Buck muttered. There was so much Buck wanted to say but said nothing at all. "Can I sit next to you," Eddie asked. Buck nodded, and Eddie walked over and sat down. "Did I do something wrong," Eddie asked, breaking the silence. A look of confusion swiped Buck's face. "No, of course not," Buck said. "Then why are you telling Bobby that we're fighting," Eddie asked, a little annoyed. "I never told him we were fighting; I told him that I messed up our friendship," Buck said. Now Eddie was beyond annoyed, "why would you say that. How could you have ruined our friendship?" There was a long pause. Eddie was sick of the silence."Because... I have feelings for you," Buck confessed, "and we can't be friends if I like you. It's just too weird." He couldn't even look at Eddie while he said this. "Evan, look at me," Eddie begged softly, "please." Buck scanned Eddie's face trying to figure out what he would say next. Eddie's eyes were watery, but Buck couldn't tell if it was because of the cold wind or if he was upset. Eddie held Buck's face, and Buck nearly melted. "I have a feeling for you too," Eddie stated, his voice a little shaky. And just like that, Buck was crashing his lips onto Eddie's. Everything they've ever wanted to say to one another was spoken at that moment. Eddie's hand found their way to Buck's hair, and Buck was holding on to Eddie's waist for dear life. They heard the New Year’s countdown starting, and Eddie pulled away. “Maybe we should join everyone,” Eddie suggested. Buck groaned, “fine.” They shared one last kiss and walked back into the party. A new year, a fresh start to their relationship.

Little Ghost Q-Taro #15

Yo, it's time again for another post / review / commentary - thingy. This episode is called "たんていQちゃん" which might translate to "Detective Q-Taro". That makes sense, since at the beginning of the episode you can see Q-Taro walking around in typical detective clothing. Let's get to it, shall we?

This episode starts with Shōta and Q-Taro standing in front of their house. Looks like they accidentally got locked out - the door's closed and won't open. No worries though, since Q-Taro can easily phase through objects. He does so and opens the door from the inside. Shōta thanks him ("Thank you!" seems to be a common expression in Japanese as well?). They look around in search for something to eat, preferably some sweets. All they find though is a lone crisp on a plate. Instead of just opening the fridge, Q-Taro simply phases through it, which gives Shōta an idea!

Now we see Q-Taro flying around, in search for something. Shōta probably told him to search for some sweets in other people's houses. He passes through Yoshiko's house and sees her doing her homework. Q-Taro leaves again and goes into another house. There we see Kizao (remember, the rich classmate with his super pigeon) who's about to enjoy some delicious pancakes. Q-Taro immediately reports back to Shōta who then gets super excited and literally pushes Q-Taro to get there as quickly as possible. Quite hilariously, he pushes Q-Taro through the front door, forgetting that he himself can't simply phase through it - he runs into the door and falls on his back, lol. That's what you get for rushing, Shōta!

A couple seconds later, we see a nice-looking, expensive house and a doorbell rings. Kizao sure takes his time with enjoying his pancakes, lol. We see him cutting a piece out of his pancake stack and right when he's about to eat it, his mom (not seen, only heard btw.) calls for him and tells him that Q-Taro and Shōta are there for a visit. He quickly gulps down the piece he cut out and goes downstairs. There we see a happy-looking Q-Taro and Shōta who appear to invite themselves into the house, lol. Kizao looks surprised or shocked, since he totally doesn't wanna share his delicious pancakes! They make their way in and Kizao is about to go upstairs again, but Q-Taro and Shōta have other plans: they head directly to the living room!

Kizao tries to stop them, but it's too late: they are in the living room and Q-Taro already smells something... delicious. Kizao quickly follows into the room and reveals the plate with the pancakes on it - for "totally unknown" reasons, he "accidentally" misplaced that plate on a chair. He totally didn't want to hide those from our hungry friends, not at all. Q-Taro probably asks if he's gonna share these, because sharing is caring. Kizao now looks even more shocked, but he has no choice but to share.

With their stomachs full, our friends walk home in the next scene. They talk for a bit and it seems that Q-Taro has an idea. A while later, we see him standing on the sidewalk holding a sign (holding signs seems to be a common thing since so many characters are doing it). Two of what I assume are Shōta's classmates walk by and talk with Q-Taro about something. Looks like they got a job for him, and now it's time for Q-Taro to fulfill their request. Q-Taro flies away and goes into Tsuyoshi's house. Tsuyoshi laughs about some funny manga. Without asking, Q-Taro takes a cookie and also laughs. Tsuyoshi notices him and snatches the plate filled with cookies from Q-Taro's pointy hand. Q-Taro gets closer to him, probably in order to get one of these cookies. He gets translucent and re-appears behind Tsuyoshi and holds his shirt or something. Tsuyoshi turns around and hits Q-Taro with his fist, or so it appears. In the end, he just hurts himself probably because Q-Taro disappeared just in time and his fist bumped into something else.

Later at the same house, we see Tsuyoshi laughing about the same manga again. Q-Taro appears while being translucent and... uh... what the fuck. He tries to... um... pull down Tsuyoshi's pants? This is getting really weird now. Especially since I don't have any context for this. Q-Taro fails to remove Tsuyoshi's pants because Tsuyoshi keeps rolling around on the floor laughing. In the next room, we see Tsuyoshi's mom sleeping and Q-Taro uses the same trick he used many episodes ago when the two brothers were fighting with each other. He uses his mom as a "puppet" and tells Tsuyoshi something through his mom. In what appears to be a laundry room or bathroom, Tsuyoshi removes his belt and Q-Taro flat-out pulls down his pants. O_O

He not only reveals his underpants, but also a big belly-button as well. Q-Taro dances around happily because he found out Tsuyoshi's secret, I guess. He accidentally materializes and Tsuyoshi goes for another punch, but once again Q-Taro is quicker and disappears. Btw. I have an "outie" as well and don't find anything wrong with it. So I guess those classmates from earlier asked Q-Taro specifically to find out this bit of information. Now the episode title finally makes sense: since Q-Taro can go anywhere, it's easy for him to spy on people and find out their secrets, hence why he's a "detective" now. I actually mentioned this "privacy problem" a few episodes ago; you literally can't sense Q-Taro since he can get translucent and you also can't stop him because he can phase through every object. You could be fapping and Q-Taro could be sitting right next to you and you wouldn't even notice! Scary thought...

At the park, Q-Taro meets those two classmates and tell them about Tsuyoshi's secret. In the next scene, we see Shōta's mom cooking some kind of stew or soup, and it looks as if Shin'ichi doesn't like it. Q-Taro appears and spies on them while changing his positions. He then flies off to different houses and spy some more on people, such as the ramen guy. In the evening, Q-Taro holds a meeting in front of Shōta's house, and proudly points to a sign mounted on the wall with lots of text on it that I can't read. My guess is that these are all the secrets Q-Taro has found out about different people. Failing to understand that a secret should stay a secret, Q-Taro naively lays bare all these secrets for everyone to see. Shōta and the rest of the family burst out of the house. The people that Q-Taro invited for the meeting quickly turn into an angry mob. Shōta runs off with Q-Taro and hide in an alley when even Shōta's classmates such as Yoshiko, Kizao and Tsuyoshi are on the hunt. Shōta probably tells Q-Taro to stop revealing these secrets. Q-Taro gets translucent and flies off.

The next day, it seems that Shōta asks Doronpa for help, but he leaves him standing outside Kaminari's house. Tsuyoshi appears, ready to punch Q-Taro in the face. He asks Shōta whether he's seen Q-Taro, which Shōta denies. A few blocks further away we see a happy Q-Taro frolicking around. He's getting stopped by a secret agent who's wearing shades and a face-mask (how fitting). He talks to Q-Taro and pulls out some kind of weapon, then gives that weapon to Q-Taro. However, Q-Taro then uses the weapon against that secret agent! The secret agent flees and Q-Taro follows him around while shooting at him with imaginary bullets. Of course, that weapon is just a toy. Seems like Q-Taro is having fun though. He imitates shooting sounds but then stops when the toy's battery runs out - no more flashing lights. The secret agent hides behind a wall, but Q-Taro easily phases through it.

The secret agent runs off once more and then falls down a manhole. Since Q-Taro was a little behind, he didn't notice this mishap and wonders where the agent disappeared to. In the manhole, it is revealed that the secret agent is actually Shōta in a disguise (if that wasn't obvious from the beginning, lol). But I do wonder what this is all about though. What does Shōta want to accomplish with this masquerade? Q-Taro walks around a bit, until that secret agent appears again! Seems like that agent said something upsetting to Q-Taro, as Q-Taro gets angry and then jumps to him. The secret agent however disappears, then re-appears behind Q-Taro and turns into a fan! The fan blows wind at full force and Q-Taro has trouble holding his cloth down. The fan transforms into a camera, makes a photo, and then transforms into the secret agent again. This can only be Doronpa now.

Q-Taro wants to get that compromising photo but then gets bottled up by Tsuyoshi and Kizao. Yoshiko and Shōta himself appear as well. The situation calms down a bit and Doronpa says something. Then Q-Taro snatches the photo and eats it. After this, he realizes that all those people which he revealed their secrets from are standing there. Q-Taro begs for their forgiveness. Tsuyoshi's ready for some violence, but Shōta manages to calm him down. They all tell Q-Taro that spying on people is no good, I guess. Q-Taro flies off and yells something, while Doronpa chills on a rooftop. Looks like he didn't turn Shōta down after all. This is the end of the episode.

Whew, that was a slog to write. At least I am done for now. Anyways, now I actually wonder what that photo was. Did it reveal how Q-Taro looks like underneath his cloth? Funny how I mentioned that yesterday, being all curious about his appearance. Or maybe Doronpa actually took a picture of Q-Taro's dick or something, lmao. After all, Doronpa made use of wind to lift up Q-Taro's cloth. Aw well. I guess Q-Taro's real appearance will always stay a secret. See ya next episode!

More Than Meets the Eye #1- Meeting All Our New Friends

Okay, let’s see what happens when you give one man way too much power over a franchise, and he doesn’t use it for evil.

Before we get into the story, let’s take a look at the cover art! MTMTE, as well as its sister series, Robots in Disguise, started off IDW Phase Two, a brand new run of main comics to replace the by-then completed The Transformers (2009). To celebrate this momentous occasion, each comic’s first issue got FOUR separate covers, which could be combined to create a large, overarching image. MTMTE’s looked like this when all the covers were put together.

The cover art here is by Alex Milne, who is on as the main artist for the series, but he’s not on issue #1- no, for our foray into this comic run, we see the return of Nick Roche.

The last time Roche and Roberts worked together was on Last Stand of the Wreckers, and other than MTMTE #6 and the Revolution one-shot, they won’t be teaming up again within the IDW run.

On a potentially-related-but-more-of-just-a-humorous note, it seems that Roberts is a huge stickler with his scripts, going into what sounds like an honestly horrific amount of detail for each individual panel. The average comic script is either between 20-23 or 28-30 pages long, not counting title and credit pages. Roberts has been cited as sending in comic scripts that approached 50 pages.

Which, if you know anything about the scriptwriting process, is a little… yeah. It’s a very good thing Roberts seems to be able to take criticism.

ANYWAY.

IT’S TIME.

The Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye- Liars, A to D Part 1: How to Say Goodbye and Mean It- holy fucking shit that’s a long title- starts off with the Story So Far, a comic book classic to catch readers up on what’s happened prior to the issue. The very nature of a Story So Far will become plot-relevant much later down the line, but as is, it’s just reminding us what happened during Phase One, in as basic a point as it can.

And then the credits are right underneath.

I can’t even imagine how friggin’ good seeing this printed must have felt.

So, what’s going on in the premiere of the sad, gay, space comic?

Not my phrasing, by the way, but the Wiki’s.

So, the war’s over. What does that mean? Well, a lot of things, honestly, but the first thing we’re given in terms of what changes to expect with everyone’s favorite space robots is in relation to their wardrobes. Yeah, without a war to fight, what’s the point in having relatively identical blocky armor that protects all your insides? It’s time to get skimpy.

Rodimus has switched out his toned calves and discernible ankles for the Uggs that are now positively iconic to his character. Drift’s mass has almost completely gravitated to his thighs, making him the curviest thing this side of the Milky Way. Ultra Magnus didn’t get the memo about not needing to be in uniform anymore, I guess, but somehow I doubt he owns anything casual.

Rodimus, Drift, and Magnus are holding a rally to invite Autobots to come on their party-barge to find the Knights of Cybertron, in an effort to heal the planet, because Rodimus took one look at post-war Cybertron and said “no thanks.” Honestly, I think most would, if these properly colored characters are any indication.  

Just the Autobots, by the way. We aren’t ready to be friends with the ‘Cons just yet. Swindle did some major damage on that front.

Prowl and Wheeljack are off to the side discussing this turn of events, and while Wheeljack seems to think that a lot of folks will be boarding the ship and getting the hell out of dodge, Prowl’s expecting nothing to come of it.

So, that was yesterday. What’s going on today?

Inside Kimia, there’s a dead guy. He wasn’t dead when he was brought in, but he is now. Who is he, anyway?

Oh, he’s one of the NAIL protesters, and he died because he was protesting by way of transforming on the steps of Autobot HQ, until his transformation cog burn out. Yep, that can kill you. Ratchet’s the one who performed the autopsy, as per Metalhawk’s request- he only wanted the best of the best on this.

Too bad the best of the best is starting to slump. After a brief scare with Rigor Morphis- the stiffening of the corpse into the body’s preferred mode- Ratchet explains to Bumblebee that his hands have started seizing up, and that’s why he’ll be leaving on the Lost Light with Rodimus. He just can’t do the work anymore.

This news is not well received by Bumblebee, who’s just about had it with everyone up and leaving him all by himself with the mess that is Cybertron.

Phase Two will not be kind to Bumblebee.

Bumblebee accuses Ratchet of having been insnared in Rodimus’ siren song of reclaiming the Golden Age, but c’mon, this is Ratchet! He’s too cynical to fall for that. He’s more interested in finding the Autobots who’ve been lost over the millennia to the war. Ratchet’s already well aware of the true purposes of this little galactic road trip, almost like he’s read the plot outline.

It’s about helping people, and adventure, and being unapologetically gay and sad in equal measures.

Up in the sky, Cyclonus is displeased. He spent six million years in the Dead Universe, under the control of a madman, waiting for the moment he could return to his beloved homeworld, and what does he get? A ball of half-baked primordial cookie-dough, and it’s not even chocolate-chip like he was expecting; it’s fucking oatmeal raisin.

Mmm, that is some tasty panel-breaking right there.

Of course, the I/D chip might not have worked anyway, seeing as Cyclonus got a little bit of a boost when Vector Sigma ejected everyone during the Matrix incident. It’s doing some weird stuff to his body, on top of whatever nonsense existing inside the Dead Universe does to a person.

Cyclonus is about to head over to the Lost Light- apparently he and Rodimus made a little deal off-panel- when he detects a familiar life sign and decides to see what that’s all about.

Over in Prowl’s office, things are tense. He and Chromedome can’t even look at each other, as Chromedome reveals that both he and Rewind are jumping on the Lost Light. Prowl doesn’t like this, not one bit. He needs Chromedome, needs his skills, his expertise. He tries to appeal to Rewind, knowing who wears the pants in this relationship.

Or, well, he tries.

Prowl, they’ve been married for over 250,000 years.

In all seriousness, this is slightly before the first tentative steps Roberts took towards making the franchise as gay as he possibly could, at least when going by the story’s chronology. The thing about professional comic script writing is that plotting/planning goes for a ways beyond the current script one’s working on, so that everyone knows where everyone else is. Considering the somewhat congruent nature between MTMTE and RiD, planning ahead was especially important.

Chromedome and Rewind were originally (like, first draft originally) meant to be best friends. This was to fill a void in the department of close relationships Roberts felt within the Transformers franchise. Then Roberts saw how handsy he’d been writing them during plotting and realized he’d made something a little different happen. Which still sort of went with what he was going for, just in a slightly different fashion. Chromedome and Rewind are a rare case of a writer NOT leaning into the “they’re just bros, bro” mentality and just letting the characters be together as romantic partners.

Also keep in mind that it would be another three fucking years before the United States would legalize same-sex marriage, which is where the IDW offices are located. You gotta ease that sort of change in, that way nobody realizes what you’re doing until it’s already been done, then you can go hog-wild. We won’t be hitting critical mass on the homonormative civilization that is IDW1 Cybertron for a solid year or so.

So this bit of dialogue is just the start of the setup, and the “best friend” line is either a leftover from earlier versions of the script, or Prowl really just is that big of an asshole.

Rewind is, of course, recording everything taking place on his handy-dandy little head-mounted camera, because history is his business, and he’s not going to stop recording for the likes of Prowl.

Rewind doesn’t like Prowl very much.

It would seem that the feeling is mutual.

Chromedome suddenly remembers that trying to reason with Prowl is like talking to a brick wall, and the two of them leave. Prowl responds to this slight by yelling in the hallway and then flipping a table.

I sure hope y’all like running gags.

Of course, Prowl wouldn’t be Prowl without having a few contingency plans in place for when things don’t go his way, and he makes a call to his inside guys to “load the cargo.”

That’s not ominous in the slightest.

Six million years prior to all this nonsense, a tiny little dude fell in a hole and broke his legs trying to get to work.

This is Tailgate, and he’s seen better days. Not many, mind you, but at least a couple. He was making his way to the launch of the original Ark, when he decided to take a shortcut that would change the course of his life forever. Hence the whole “stuck in a hole” thing. Still, he’s got to get out of here, because without him, the entire expedition is doomed!

For being an idiot, Tailgate’s pretty smart- he figures that if he sets off his energon rations, it’ll blast up through the roof of the cavern he’s in and someone will be able to find him. Good thing energon’s so incredibly volatile.

Speaking of volatile, let’s jump back to the present and check on our buddy Whirl.

It looks like Whirl also got a makeover between series, because he’s now sporting a much sleeker, angular frame, complete with long, tapered head.

Whirl’s currently busy thanking his new friends for spending so much time with him. It really meant a lot to him, their patience. Not many folks have been patient with him before.

Of course, it probably helps that all these guys are dead as hell.

It’s time for another Roberts’ staple- the suicide attempt. We won’t be using the robot-equivalent to Multiple Sclerosis though. This go around, we’ll be using a classic: self immolation!

Title drop! Bet you weren’t expecting it to have such a dark connotation, huh?

Cyclonus interrupts Whirl’s monologue and suicide attempt. He thought he’d seen his best buddy, Scourge, on his tracker, and his immediate response is to lurk in the shadows looking like a night demon wearing a party hat.

Fun fact: a group of Sweeps is called a Spring Cleaning.

Scourge isn’t here, and he won’t ever be. Scourge most likely died off-panel, never to be seen again, assumedly because nobody wanted to write for him. I think it’s the nails, puts people off.

Whirl doesn’t take kindly to the intrusion, and responds the only way he knows how.

It’s always embarrassing when your self-immolation gets interrupted, but maybe try taking a first deep breaths before committing to more war crimes, Whirlybird.

While these two morons fill the post-Bay movie explosion quota, Red Alert’s hard at work screening the passengers on the Lost Light. Currently, he’s checking Brainstorm, who’s making it as difficult as possible, both legally and emotionally. Red Alert waves him on with a grumble, without even getting a peek at what’s inside his mysterious briefcase.

Up next is Swerve.

His legs are so jacked, it makes me a little uncomfortable. Glad to see Swerve’s body reformat went swimmingly- seems he went for the classic “tires in the shoulders and ankles” model.

Oh hey, it’s Rung! Hi Rung!

This series will not be kind to Rung.

While Cyclonus and Whirl terrorize the folks just trying to get on board the dang ship, Rodimus is feeling rather pleased with himself with the turnout. Drift strokes his ego a bit, because they support each other, but things are still weird because Drift doesn’t know who he is as a person anymore, and Rodimus has a guilty conscience mixed with being the Matrix’s golden child, which really fucks with a guy’s head.

Ultra Magnus goes through the list of the folks joining their quest, and starts running through all their demerits and crimes like it’s his job, because it is. We get a little peek into Magnus’ world view and then it’s back to the Whirl and Cyclonus show.

Also, Drift doens’t have a nose right now. He’ll get it back in time for the next issue, don’t worry.

Over with the flyboys, Cyclonus has decided to land and attempt to reason with Whirl. Not that he couldn’t totally kill Whirl if he wanted to.

He just doesn’t want to.

No, Cyclonus is far more concerned with his meeting with Rodimus, the one that he’s already friggin’ late for thanks to the detour he took checking that life signature. Whirl doesn’t care, far more worried about the fact that Cyclonus saw him talking to desecrated corpses and, far more importantly, vulnerable.

Look at this jackass’ ensemble- demon helmet, a crop top, a skirt and bellbottom pants. What an icon. He and Eugenesis Wheeljack should trade fashion tips.

Whirl still isn’t done with him, even after scraping him across the side of a mountain. Feeling especially artsy, he scoops Cyclonus up and jumps into the air, since he apparently has a hundred-foot vertical leap.

Back in the past, things aren’t going so well for Tailgate.

More cool panel stuff going on here- every time the panels have had rounded corners, it’s been when the scene takes place in the past. Now that the last panel has proper right angles to it, Tailgate’s in the present with everyone else. That middle panel probably covers a couple million years, at least. Poor guy.

Up on the surface, Ratchet’s met up with Chromedome and Rewind, and they’re all walking over to the launch site, Chromedome bitching all the while about how they’ve got to use their legs since Rewind’s alt-mode isn’t a vehicle, but a USB.

Chromedome seems to have forgotten that his tiny husband is small enough to probably just ride on top of his alt-mode, if not directly inside, most likely due to his larger-than-life personality.

Whirl and Cyclonus fall out of the sky before Chromedome can say something that’ll get his ass divorced. Cyclonus gets knocked out cold, having taken the brunt of the impact. Unfortunate, seeing as Whirl’s taking the time to make up lies about him.

You thought I was kidding when I said the armor was skimpy, but here we are, with a shot of Whirl’s battle thong.

Ratchet, who knows Whirl, because he knows everybody, tries to talk him out of straight up murdering Cyclonus. Whirl doesn’t like it when people try to talk him down, and is about to turn on the good doctor, when Tailgate enters the scene, by way of explosion.

Whirl doesn’t handle explosions terribly well. Probably why he was going to use one to kill himself.

With Whirl knocked out, Ratchet and the power couple pull Tailgate out of his hole, where he manages to ask about the launch before freaking the fuck out and fainting at the sight of a rather dead-looking Whirl. To be fair, I can’t think of a whole lot of folks who’d survive getting their tits blown off with enough force to clear a tunnel in solid rock.

You said it, Rewind.

Ratchet grabs Tailgate and Whirl and brings them onboard the ship, seeing as Tailgate seems to want to be there, and Whirl’s too dangerous to be out of sight. They just kinda leave Cyclonus on the ground. I doubt the two guys who were on Kimia last month really want to deal with him.

Rewind breaks off from the group to see his dealer. This dealer isn’t selling the good kush though. He’s got something far more incriminating to offer.

But we don’t get to find out what the fuck Rewind just bought from Swindle for a few more issues. Rest assured, it’s nothing good.

On the bridge, Rodimus is in his captain’s chair, ready to captain it up. The Lost Light raises into the air, as Bumblebee and Prowl watch on, about to exit the atmosphere and begin a adventure filled with hijinks and mild peril.

And that’s a series wrap on everyone! I hope you enjoyed this wonderful one-shot written by James Roberts.

What do you mean there’s 56 more issues?

Alright, let’s see where this goes.

Back on the bridge, there’s alarms and sirens out the wazoo, as things have pretty much immediately gone to shit. The quantum engine the Lost Light’s outfitted with apparently went off prematurely, rocketing them into a completely random quadrant of space.

Also, there’s a hole in the ship, and vacuum physics are doing their thing.

This series will not be kind to Rodimus.

The Lost Light touches down on the planet they popped back into existence over to start looking for all the guys who got sucked out of the ship. They don’t have to look long, seeing as they’re all burning up in the atmosphere.

Welcome to the Lost Light. It’s a friggin’ mess.

Back on Cybertron, the aftermath of the explosion is seen, as Bumblebee and Prowl listen to a message that seems to imply a lot more heartache in the future.

Prowl, you could at least pretend to give a shit.

That’s the end of the story, but not the end of the issue. In the back of the book, we get a welcome letter from James Roberts himself, thanking the reader for taking the time to read the beginning of MTMTE, and holy shit does he really try to sell it to you. This is a guy who wants you to be excited about the story that’s coming your way, because he’s excited about it. He’s a big dork who loves Transformers, and he gets to write about them for the next six years! That’s awesome.

     NOTE: REPOSTED, UPDATED FOR GET FAMOUS.

[subserviiient]

no surprise: atsushi/anzu

Relationship meme: accepting

where they first met and how: Atushi and Anzu have numerous paths of which their first meeting could have went, in ways that could be exciting and full of adventure, or rather mundane and passive- rather than a big chaotic event targeting her school by an ability user, it was instead a more passive meeting. Upon seeing him nervously looking around, clearly lost, the producer had approached the detective and asked him if he needed directions. 

how long their ‘flirting’ phase was before feelings got involved: Flirting? More like mutual support and caring for the other one- however, with such a genuine bond between them- I’d say the feelings begin to stem within a few months, although, Anzu and Atsushi don’t realise they have said feelings until much longer due to the very nature of their feelings being based off such a friendship. 

who fell for who first ( if applicable ): Anzu. It’s rare anyone wants her beyond her use, and yet Atsushi seems to care more for the person than what she can do for him, and eventually she becomes so attached to him that she can’t really deny that she has these feelings because how could she? It’s way too obvious for her to deny it...to herself at least. She’ll deny it to everyone else until she’s ready. 

where their first date was and what it was like: I can see them both being confused about what to do for a date, Anzu’s never thought about them too closely and Atsushi still has no idea how they managed to get on one in the first place. Though, they soon decide to simply go out to eat and watch a movie afterwards, which Anzu insisted on paying on, and while it was awkward at first, it soon became pretty normal to them. They went out for Chazuke and then Anzu suggested a horror movie. 

who asks who out and how ( with a sign? spelled out on a cake? just a simple ‘will you go out with me’? ): Anzu. She’s very blunt about it, both so that he knows she’s asking him on one ( because Anzu herself struggles to tell the difference between someone asking her to hang out or go on a date ) and to get rejected, but he instead accepts- after a while of awkward silence on both of their parts and Anzu straight up internally screaming at herself for asking.

who proposes first: .....Hard to say, I’d say Anzu’s more likely than Atsushi. She’s the more bold about it, but even if he’s rather blunt about wanting to marry her before she considers proposing to him.

if they keep / kept their relationship secret or let everyone know right away: Both of them decided to keep it secret for a while simply because they had no idea how to tell people you’re dating someone, or when you should bring it up but they came out about it pretty soon.

where the proposal happens and how ( kiss cam at a baseball game? on a hillside surrounded by ducks? at a disney park? ): Anzu doesn’t want to make it a public proposal, as she doesn’t want him to feel pressured to say yes- rather the producer plans for them to have a date and as soon as night hits, she takes him to a less populated area, like a park- and gets down on one knee. 

if they adopt any pets together: Bro, they have Akinari, but if Atsushi suggests adopting a cat, or any other animal? Anzu will gladly do so, jokingly dubbing whatever animal they get their “Son” or “Daughter” which flusters the detective greatly.

who’s more dominant: ...Hard to say? I think it switches depending on who’s feeling more bold with their affections that day. 

where their first kiss was and what it was like: Honestly? I think it was when Anzu decided to visit her boyfriend in the ADA to bring him lunch on one of her very rare breaks, passing him his lunch which he went to take, only to trip and well, accidentally kiss her. Both of them were already flustered by the mistake, but considering Ranpo, Yosano and Dazai were present, they only got more flustered by their teasing. 

if they have any matching couples stuff ( mugs? sweaters? pillowcases? ): Well, I can’t see them actively matching things, but occasionally they’ll buy the same copy of something because the other one suggested that it was useful, or comfortable. 

how into pda they are: They’re not the most into PDA, but they do hold hands, especially if the streets are busy- and they do have the occasional hug in public, especially if there was a broadcast showing he did something dangerous and she happened to catch it. He’ll be tugged into a tight hug regardless of who’s around to watch.

who holds the umbrella when it rains: Atsushi, he’s the taller one so he’s the man for the job- and they do have to walk closer when they’re under it, as they both called the other one out for trying to give them more space and getting their clothes wet because of it. Though, sometimes Anzu will shove her umbrella at him and go running into the rain so he can have it all the way home. He’ll normally tell her off for it later. 

where their usual ‘date spot’ is ( if applicable ): They probably go to the arcade and fast food places more often than not, Anzu is determined to show Atsushi each game in the arcade, and they both need some nice food after the stress they go through. 

who’s more protective: Both are equally very protective of the other, with Anzu not taking any slander to Atsushi lightly and getting ready to fight anyone who speaks ill of him, but Atsushi is more physically protective of the producer, she may be capable of fighting off delinquents, but she’s no match for an ability user and she is pretty gullible. 

how long it is before they sleep together ( can be as in ‘had sex’ or as in ‘shared a bed’ ): Anzu invites him over to her house to sleepover fairly quickly, actually, because she quite likes having sleepovers and doesn’t quite get why people would find it odd, and she insists he takes her bed and she the floor, the debate goes on for a while until they both decide to share the bed. The...sexual side of things takes a while longer due to her not wanting to have Takehiro around to hear them and because it flusters them both greatly, but at the end of the day, the hormones give out. 

if they argue about anything: “Take care of yourself!” is a frequent statement in their arguments, it’s hard to grasp that she’s not a tool to be used of and it’s hard for him to take care of himself when there’s so much at stake but other smaller arguments come from Anzu insisting she’s going to pay for everything. 

who leaves more marks ( lipstick, hickeys, scratchmarks etc. ): Anzu and Atsushi both leave a lot of marks- and they both immediately panic because they have work the next day and how are they going to cover it up when Anzu doesn’t wear makeup?!

who steals whose clothes and how often: ...Anzu, although she does offer him her skirts up rather frequently, is normally the one picking up Atsushi’s clothes and putting them on- although she does get embarrassed when he catches her moving her hand to watch his glove move.

how they cuddle ( spooning? facing each other? ): They change it up rather frequently, although normally one of them lays down on the sofa and the other one crashes on top of them, which leads in them wrapping their arms around each other and the one on top to nuzzle their face into the other’s chest. 

what their favourite nonsexual activity is: They like having the rare days in, where they’ll have a coffee or tea and talk to each other, it’s nice to be away from paperwork or serious threats for a while and just unwind for a bit. She usually runs her fingers through his hair as they talk. 

how long they stay mad at each other: Depends what it is! If it’s a serious argument, they can stay mad at each other for a long time, if not, it’s over and done with relatively quickly. 

what their usual coffee / tea orders are: Black coffee with three shots of espresso and extra coffee is the thing that keeps Anzu most sane throughout her days, while Atsushi normally goes for a less life threatening kind of coffee, should he order one. Though he normally gets a green tea. 

if they ever have any children together: Twins. So many twins. Anzu swears they’re cursed to have only twins when they reproduce, but they also adopt! Anzu jokes about adopting twins and Atsushi astral projects at the mere idea of more twins entering his household. 

if they have any special pet names for each other: Sushi. Anzu calls him Sushi, both as a way to tease him and show how important he is to her, she rarely gives nicknames- far preferring to use people’s first names but for him? Sushi. Atsushi simply refers to her as Kobayashi-san. 

if they ever split up and / or get back together: I can’t see them being on and off sort of people, so I’d opt for a no.

what their shared living space is like ( messy? clean? what kind of decor? ): Atsushi gets to move in with Anzu, and he finds that Anzu’s house is normally so clean it hardly looks lived in- besides her room, where her table is a cluttered mess of cans that once contained her energy drinks, a ton of paper piled up but bed sheets that looked like they were in an ad, instead of being used. She tells him that he can buy anything he wants, and even offers her mom’s credit card, telling him to go wild- he doesn’t go wild but buys a few things that caught his interest with enough prodding. 

what their first christmas / hanukkah / etc as a couple was like: Anzu invites Atsushi over to her house so she can give him cookies and some food she made before she takes his hand and declares that she’s got a live to show him. For once, she sits in the audience seats and has him watch the show with her. She’s going to make sure he has a good day, even if it kills her. 

what their names are in each other’s phones: Sushi-kun with a sushi emoji and a blue heart emoji, with his simply being Kobayashi-san although she typed a (;・・;)  on there when they first exchanged numbers. He does not know how to get rid of it and she thinks it’s too funny to tell him. 

if they have any ‘couple traditions’ ( buying a new mug for their collection every year? baking every friday evening? ): Pointing to tigers when they appear in media and going ‘it’s you’, they have lunch together every Tuesday and Atsushi drags her ass off for designated nap time.

DYLAN O’BRIEN / CIS-MALE — don’t look now, but is that finn o’callaghan i see? the 25 year old criminology and forensic studies student is in their graduate year of study year and he is a rochester alum. i hear they can be judicious, adroit, morose and cynical, so maybe keep that in mind. i bet he will make a name for themselves living off-campus. ( nora. 24. gmt. she/her )

shakes my tin can a humble pinterest, ma’am....

finn has a bio pasted at the bottom (n written in like.... 2015.... gross) but it’s long  so if u don’t wanna read it here’s the sparknotes summary..... anyway this was written years ago n a lot of it seems really cliche and lame now but..... we accept the trash we think we deserve

grumpy, ugly sweater wearing, tech-savvy grandpa

very dry sense of humour and embraces nihilism. 

if ron swanson and april ludgate had a baby it would be finn

he was raised in derry, just south of dublin.

from a big family. elder sister called sinead. he also has a younger sister (aoife), a younger brother (colm), and a collie named lassie because his father lovs cliches (finn hates cliches but loves his dog). 

his father was a pub landlord and his mother worked at the market sellin fruit n veg when they met but got a job as a medical receptionist when she had kids cos it meant she cld be there with them in the day and work nights.

his parents met when they were p young and fiesty and rushed into marriage cos they were catholic n just wanted to have sex. his family were literally dirt-poor, but they had a lot of love i guess

hmmmmm his relationship w his father wasn’t the best cos i can’t write character who have healthy relationships w their parents throws up a peace sign. yh, had a pretty emotionally distant, alcoholic violent father n so gets a lot of his bad habits i.e. drinking as a coping mechanism and poor anger management from him BUT anyway

as a kid he was never very motivated in class, he always had a nervous itch to be off somewhere doing something else. struggled under government austerity bcso there just wasn’t the resources to support low income families where the kids had learning difficulties n needed support. fuck the tories am i right 

his mum suggested he try sports to help w his restless energy but he was never any good at football so he took up boxing and tap dance instead. he took to tap dancing like a fish to fuckin water. as adhd n found this as a really good way to use his excess energy in a creative way

had a few run ins with the police in his early teens for spray painting and graffiti, but he straightened himself out n now actually considering becoming a detective inspector??? cops are pigs.

he had a youtube channel where he posted videos of him tapdancing and breakdancing as a kid, basically would be a tiktok boy nowadays, n had like... a small fanbase in his early teens. attended several open auditions unsuccessfully, until he was finally cast in billy eliot when he was fifteen.

during billy eliot he began dating an italian dancer called nina. they became dance partners soon after and toured across the republic with various different shows (inc riverdance lol the classic irish stereotype). their relationship was p toxic tbh, they were both very hot tempered people and just used to argue and fight all the time.

he went semi-pro at tap dancing, and nina couldn’t stand being second best so she moved back to italy with her family. ignored his texts, phone calls, etc, eventually he was driven to the point where he used his savings to buy a plane ticket, showed up at her house and she was like wtf?? freaked out and filed a restraining order accusing him of stalking.

he was fined for harassment and then returned home to derry, but after the incident with nina he quit dancing for good and finished his leaving cert before heading to university in the US to get as far away from nina and his past life as poss. and basically since he quit dancing to study forensics (death kink. finn cant get enough of that morgue. just walks around sayin beat u) he’s become a massive grump and jsut doesn’t see the good in people any more.

u’ll find finn in an old man bar drinking whiskey bc he is in fact an old man at heart or sat on his roof smoking a joint, drawing wolves and lions and skeletons and shit, playing call of duty or getting blazed or at the corner of the room in a house party ignoring everyone and scrolling through twitter. is a massive e-boy. always up-to-date on memes and internet slang. has reddit as an app on his phone

not very good at communication. rather than solve his issues by talking, he’d prefer to just solve them through fighting or running away from his problems hence why he has come halfway across the world to get away from an issue which probs cld have been solved w a few apology emails.

takes a lot to phase him, but when his beserk button gets pressed he can become a bit pugnacious like an angry lil rottweiler. in his undergrad he was in a few fist fights but doesn’t really do tht any more as he doesn’t condone violence.

 in the previous version of this rp he was hospitalised like 5 times. pls, give my son a break. stop tryin to kill him. he literaly got a bottle smashed over his head and bled out all over his favourite angora rug that was the only light of his life

works at the campus coffee shop n always whines about how he’s a slave to capitalism. always smells of coffee

lives off campus with an elderly woman named Marianne, and basically gets reduced rent bcos he makes her dinner / keeps her company. they have a great bond

fan of karl marx. v big on socialism

insomniac with chronic nosebleeds

cynical about everything. too much of a fight club character 4 his own good n has his head up tyler durden’s sphincter

always confused or annoyed

full bio (lame as fuck written years ago..... pleathe...)

tw homophobia

born in quigley’s pub on the backstreets of sunny dublin, young finnegan o'callaghan was thrown kicking and screaming into the rowdy suburbs of irish drinking culture. the son of a landlord and a fishwife, he never had much in the way of earnings, but there was never a dull moment in his lively estate, where asbo’s thrived, but community spirit conquered. at school, finn was pegged as lazy and unmotivated, though truly his dyslexia made it hard for the boy to learn in the same environment of his peers and only made him more closed-off in class. struggling with anger management, finn moved from school to school, unable to fit the cookie-cutter mould that school enforced on him, though whilst academic studies were of little interest to the boy, he soon found his true passions lay in recreational activities. immersed into the joys of sport from as young as four, finn was an ardent munster fan and anticipated nothing more than the day he could finally fit into his brother’s old pair of rugby boots.

his calling finally came unexpectedly, not in the form of rugger, but through dance. to learn to express himself in a non-academic way, he began tap dancing, finding therapy in the beat of his soles against the cracked kitchen tiles (much to his mother’s disgrace). it wasn’t a conscious choice, finn just realised one day that dance was something that made him feel. a king of the streets, finn made his fortune on those cobbled pavements – dancing and drawing to earn his keep. by default, finn became a street artist, each penny he earned from his chalk drawings saved in a jam jar towards buying his first pair of tap shoes. though many of his less-than-amiable neighbours called him a nancy and a gaybo, finn refused to quit at his somewhat ‘unconventional’ hobby, for the young scrapper found energy, life, and released anger through the rhythm of tap. soon he branched out into street dance, hip hop, break dancing, lyrical, his days spent smacking his scuffed feet against the broken patio into the night.

when he was thirteen he took up boxing, and as expected, his newfound ‘macho’ pastime conflicted with his dancing. the boxers called him ‘soft’; the dancers called him ‘inelegant’. he felt like two different people; having to choose between interests was like being handed a knife and asked to which half of himself he wished to cut away. he couldn’t afford professional training in dance, with most schools based in england and limited scholarships available. instead, he made the street his studio, racking up a small fanbase on youtube. when he was fifteen he made his debut in billy eliot at the olympia theatre in dublin. enter nina de souza, talented, beautiful and italian; ballet dancer, operatic singer, genius whiz kid, and spoiled brat. she was selfish, conceited, hell bent on getting her own way, and every director’s nightmare. finn fell for her like a house of cards. he’d always had a soft spot for girls who meant trouble. and so their hellish courtship began.

by the time they were seventeen, the two young swans had danced in every playhouse across the republic. they were known in theatres across the country for their tempestuous personalities, their raging arguments with one another, their tendency to drop out of shows altogether without any notice, yet the money kept rolling in and the audiences continued to grow. for three years, their families continued to put up with their hysterical fights followed by passionate reconciliations. he was too possessive, and she was too wild. their carcrash of a relationship finally came to a catastrophic halt when nina broke off the whole affair and returned to italy with her family. for months finn tried to contact her, yet his phone calls, texts, facebook messages were always ignored, until finally he was driven to drastic measures and used his savings to get a plane to her home town. when finn turned up uninvited at nina’s house she freaked out – and rightly so – she contacted her agent, accused him of stalking her, and had a restraining order placed against him. finn was arrested, held in a station overnight, and charged with harassment before he was allowed to return to dublin.

after the incident with nina, finn lost the fight in his eyes. he became far more hostile, far less likely to retaliate with his own fists, and picked fights not for the thrill of feeling his own fists pummel another into a wall, but for the sensation of his own brittle bones cracking. he dropped his tap shoes in a dumpster, stopped talking to his friends, followed his father’s advice and went back to school to complete his leaving certificate. a few short months later, and finn was packing his bags, saying his bittersweet goodbyes, and travelling half-way across the globe to be as far away as possible from his past self, his mess of a life, and most of all nina. it seemed somehow ironic that the boy who had been cautioned by the garda so much during his youth for spray painting, busking without a liscence, and raucous parties would become the grumpy, aloof overseas student studying a degree in criminology; that his once reckless spirit could be crushed so easily. 

of all things that finn could be called, straightforward would never be one of them. ever since his first days in atticus, the boy was pegged as hostile, hot-headed, cynical, rude. he seemed to spend more time in his thoughts than engaging in conversation. like a ticking time-bomb, finn’s anger was of the calm kind, liable to explode without a moment’s noticed. his unpredictable personality make him something of an enigma to those who aren’t amiable with the lad, though hostile as he may appear, he harvests a good heart. loyalty lies at the centre of his affections, and whilst his friends are few in number, he makes a lifelong partner. somewhere within finn, there’s still some fight left, but mostly he has recognised that his hedonistic lifestyle did little to leave him fulfilled – mostly, it just emptied him out – and over his three years at university has resigned himself to a nihilistic predicament.

In IR lore, what are the personalities of your personas? Basic likes and dislikes?

Kristen: Goggles is An Child and behaves as such. She's very cheerful, very curious, a bit mischievous and also 100% obsessed with making fanwork of her internet family... like a goddamn weirdo. She'll usually be hanging out with everyone, spot some sort of inspiration, squeak with joy and then rush off to write or draw. She's also the defacto leader of the Smol Squad, which is composed of herself, Shyner, Jojo and Chi-chi, and she's usually the one squeaking out ridiculous plans in muppet for dumb shit like stealing cookies and trying to trap people in fanfiction scenarios. She likes to help and can often be found doing such things as assisting Xander in his many schemes or just popping up to provide shit like charts or hold things for other people- basically whenever it would be funny to have some goddamn muppet backing something up.

She loves plush toys, particularly Crockernanner, and also loves sugar, star decorations, and cuddles. She likes being picked up and loves attention, and she's pretty consistently attached to at least one person, often her big brother Split if she's not with the Smol Squad. She is in eternal war with Phill since he bullies her constantly, and will occasionally try to set up elaborate traps for revenge only to fail miserably. Also she's a huge weeb. She does not like to sleep and will often go days without it before being dragged off by some bigger person to take a goddamn nap you ridiculous child.  She is also very afraid of thunderstorms, she doesn't like loud noises or the dark.

She also has... various flaws and problems. But those are spoilers and I have no idea when/if we’ll be doing story stuff with IRsonas so I don’t want to give too much away with that.

Sorry this is very long, I think about my child a lot.

Jojo: JoJo is also a very happy child... like, stupid happy all the time. Like, they don't really have a concept of being angry. they're either manic happy or a bit sad. They love to find any way to make anybody smile or laugh, whether it be a somber happy, or a crying fit of laughter. They thrive off of happiness. They're a bit mischievous as well, and will try to play pranks and swipe things to chew on. They'll just appear in random places you'd never expect. like, in the pantry, the vent, or in your drawer. They chew things all the time to keep their dragon teeth sharp! They do tend to come off as obnoxious and kind of useless sometimes? But that's ok.

They love happiness, rocks, swimming, sandwiches, Vanilla coke, coffee, pianos, stars, ghost stuff(horror genre), and laughter. JoJo is pretty similar to Goggles now that I think about it x_xJoJo is best friends with Phill, and will always be on him in some way. Like his leg, back, holding onto his scarf by their teeth, etc. They're also very close with Goggles and Shyner, and Scott (even though Shyner tries to chase JoJo off with knives, JoJo will take it as a game of tag or something)JoJo doesn't like being yelled at or being told to go away. They get spooked easily by loud noises. They always get paranoid when they think someone is mad at them and will go to ungodly lengths to make them not mad or slightly annoyed with them, which sometimes makes people more annoyed with them than they were before.

JoJo is just an exaggerated version of me XD

Atwas: Atwas is fairly easy going. They make light of things often, and often hide serious sentiments behind jokes. They’re the type to roll with goofy and silly situations, and are very “yes and” type that enjoys escalating things in the name of light-hearted fun. They enjoy playing pranks, especially ones that take advantage of their hologrammatic nature (being able to enter and ‘possess’ electronics is something that they take advantage of often). Being technically in the cloud and a part of the internet at all times, they will often chime in with fun (often unrelated or humorous) metrics about situations and people as they occur—and often forgets that having a HUD isn’t something everyone has access to.

Being ‘technically’ invulnerable, atwas isn’t phased by the more dangerous things that go on in the IR tower, but usually prefers being a spectator or commentator as opposed to being an active participant in general shenaniganry. They don’t have any particular animosity towards anyone, and will occasionally help manage technical parts and functions of the tower.

They enjoy things like tech, cold weather, tea, fun statistics, darkness; and aesthetics like Film Noir and Retrowave.

They dislike things like excessively hot weather, being interrupted, getting too personal, having to put in a lot of “effort”, and being out of the loop.

Shyner: Shyner can easily be summed up to a tsundere in denial, and is the definition of an agent of chaos. If something goes wrong, she’s the one pouring a trail of kerosene to let the fire spread. She's loud, impulsive, and really doesn't give two shits. While quirky and charismatic, she’s also sarcastic and witty, reveling in the amusement of making fun of others. She’s often stubborn and impatient, thinking highly of her own beliefs and angered by those who dare to challenge her ideals. She also lacks a filter, and enjoys garnishing her words with colorful profanities. Filled with gripes of past trauma, she’s engaged in a constant internal war of turmoil and grief. She’s incredibly cautious and closed off around those she doesn’t trust, and can be very selfish.  Despite this, she’s loyal to the few people she cares about, going out of her way to put them first if a dire situation were to arise. She’s also very sneaky and mischievous, often finding amusement in spying on others. Her MBTI is INTP-T.

Her hobbies include stargazing, ghost hunting, spying, and Satanic worship. She enjoys melancholy vibes, horror movies, animals, thunderstorms, and has an unhealthy obsession with sweets. Yes, this child will stab you without hesitancy if you take her cookies. She dislikes seafood, big crowds, kiddie leashes, and is afraid of experiencing intense emotion she doesn’t understand.I love my satanic smol bean very much. If I may be so bold as to dive into the nitty-gritty psychology, Shyner possesses many flaws, a lot of which I personally struggled with growing up. She is a reflection of my past self, some gripes with my current self, and the perception of how I could have turned out if I hadn’t met my family at IR. Hiding behind the exterior of being a merciless bully, she still has an intense internal desire to be a good person, but gets frustrated and often derails herself in the process of fighting her desire to act on impulse. She keeps most relationships with people at arm's length, fearing that if someone were to think highly of her, it would only be a matter of time before they’re disappointed. If we were to go full-fledged story mode, she would most definitely have an intense character redemption arc, making the revelation that being shitty to those who care about her isn’t the way to run from her problems and hide away from her own sense of self-insecurity/hatred.

Phill: Phill likes mischief, bad jokes, sexual undertones, Jojo, sexual overtones, bullying Kristen, and the colour pink. That's it xD

Jojo: :D yay

Alex: Alex don't give a shit but is for whatever reason the bossman and is also as powerful as silver age Superman, just don't try actual murder of the crew and he won't yeet you into the sun

Moon: 2019 Moon is an idiot. If we didn't know any better, we would assume he was born from nothing but an old head of lettuce in Satan's refrigerator. Think like Scott from Monster Prom, but different. He knows his right from his left, but the compass is still just "NESW" to him. Impulsive, lovable, and kinda loud, this muscley dumbass will do practically anything you tell him to if he finds it enjoyable. When paired with a few people, he works well as a second to many dynamic duos. Brodingles and Moon/Split and Moon are two really good ones, dangerous shenanigans ensue. Can and will rap like a beast, any challenge to a freestyle will result in a career ending and a death being sentenced. Extroverted people pleaser, definitely shooting high to perform and when adapting to a character, goes a little too hard. This man played Gander in Charlottes Web and didn't stop making goose sounds for months. Did I mention he's also a disney princess? Singing, animals, mortal enemy falling to their death? Everything

Dawn: ToonWolf/Dawn's personality falls within the confines of recklessly adventurous who doesn't think things through entirely. They like to try and rope others into going on various hikes, treasure hunts, mythic/cryptid searches, etc. Unapologetic sailor mouth. They will fight for friends and family. Various animals, trinkets, treasures, and cool but useless garbage are brought back to the tower often (oops theres a liiiiiiitle bit of hoarding). Sometimes those animals consist of dogs, cats, lizards, bears, wolves, The Great Noble One, horses, lions, elk, you get the idea (Can I keep them?Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaseeeeee??????????).

Overall they are most comfortable and relaxed in/around water and likes a whole lotta things including sailing, swimming, adventure, stargazing, animals, mythology/legends, friends, family, and drawing.

They dislike waking up early, limitations, being talked down to, boredom, desert/hot/humid/dry weather, coffee, and the movie "Cube"

Tex: Tex is an avid cryptid detective + has a surprisingly good intuition when creating conspiracy theories about them to follow. Mm lots of memes and disguises. Smart, but usually just off on their own thinking about other stuff.Totally has a wall in their room dedicated to figuring all the cryptids out with like, red string and everything.
