#when you were bees

[beautysnake]

@linkerbell and I decided to start a new save for co-op and it's already off to a great start

[smoothriverrocksrock]

(Tf one spoilers!)

So who’s making the “B-127 joins D-16/Megatron after Optimus banishes them” au? I mean Bee knew them both for equal amounts of time, totally possible for his morality to sway Megatron’s way instead of Optimus’s.

Honestly, Bee doesn’t even have to join him for ideology reasons. Maybe Bee just doesn’t like the idea of one of his friends being isolated with a bunch of murder-happy strangers after the most devastating moment of his life. Maybe Bee wants to try and help Megatron through the divorce, even help him reconcile with Optimus. Maybe Bee was so inspired by watching D-16 stand up to Sentinel that he wanted to stay with him.

Also I’m a sucker for symmetry and having the friend group split in half is awesome for me.

Rest assured that there’s a 80% chance I’ll do this one day. I got thoughts to sort first before I do anything though

Was thinking abt the fact that IF Vector and Espio found Charmy when he was a baby, taking their "canon" ages into account, Vector would have been like mid-teens and Espio like. a preteen at the time and I love a good 'You're the age I was when we met/I did [X]/etc.' Soooo woe! That upon you Espio, it's always fucked up and evil the passage of time LOL

Another instance of the shadow dragon background not mattering is when you fight the dragon that destroyed your city Rook says ‘let’s take it down for Neve’ and then Lucanis can say ‘her city will be avenged’

I don’t think all backgrounds were created equal

horror being very specific with table manners and he berates people (dust and killer) for eating like fucking pigs

i think it'd be morbidly funny that because there was no food in horrortale but the cutlery and stuff was all there that maybe he would pretend to eat with no food on the plate. it was in a satirical way that he would joke maybe around horror paps or alone where he would pretend to eat and have really good table manners but then the satire joke became REAL and now horror is incredibly specific about how to eat food

you MUST hold the fork in the left and knife in right says horror. no killer you can't duel wield the fucking knives this is a table not a slaughterhouse. dust pick up your elbows off the table. actually how about you get your entire upper body off the table tf why are you SLEEPING ON THE FOOD??? killer's sitting fetal position in the chair because of course he wouldn't sit normally like the idiot he is. dust is forced to put his hood down and reveal his face no more mysterious shadow style because it puts horror at ease. they cannot have a single peaceful meal because once they get past the table manners phase it then becomes a completion to see who can eat the least (because they suck at everything including eating)

There are two things involving Shockwave and Elita-1 I’d really love to see in a transformers series (they are not compatible):

1. Them being absolutely enemies. Elita and Shockwave hate each other. They got like 4 billion years of extra war between them and they cannot stand even the sight of one another. Optimus and Megatron wish they hated each other as much as Shockwave and Elita do. They should get to be silly, terrible rivals at least once, please <3

2. Shockwave and Elita-1 ending the war on Cybertron and for a more crack version of this getting together too. Genuinely I’d be so into a series where like Optimus and Megatron establish communication back with Cybertron and the war is just over. Even funnier the war is over and their respective romantic partners are now married

hey. go on about butch Dyvim I am listening

HIIII LAWL. ok so .

i really just like the idea of butch dyvim because it makes him more awesome to me plus the Why Not......... but ALSOOO

i noticed that mouse knights are usually male and that female mice have the like. praying hands model or whatever it is... but in other species like the sugargliders the difference between their models is not that apparent... so like why not have some female mouse knights with swords and antler helmets.. where are the butch warrior mice..... so obviously im taking the most prevalent one and making him butch

Ohhhh so I bet it’s no wonder Padmé probably never questioned anything about Anakin saying his mother had him by herself and that he didn’t have a dad. By the time they’re married and she finds out they’re gonna have kids and she’s preemptively filling out family medical history paperwork, she just glosses over the whole “I don’t have a dad” thing Anakin probably told her assuming they can fill it out later when he gets his records, not realizing the two of them were having different conversations because okay yeah, her sister had children without having a partner involved in the process, poor people on Tatooine must apparently have access to that technology too, Shmi’s business is her own and it’s not like they can ask her anymore, logical, logical. Padme “Its one banana, Anakin, how much could it cost? Ten dollars?” Naberrie and Anakin “I didn’t pay attention in biology class because that doesn’t apply to me and therefore i don’t need to know it” Skywalker

I regularly eat meat so maybe take this with a grain of salt, but I think when people try to "own" the concept of veganism with "facts and logic" as either a diet or a moral stance, they generally misunderstand what they're trying to criticize.

Like, you can say that the "real" problem with animal agriculture is capitalism encouraging animal abuse and factory farming, but like. Vegans know that's bad. That's not the only problem they have with the industry. You've got the slew of environmental problems it causes plus the whole, y'know, killing/exploiting animals thing that they don't like.

Someone who values the life of a chicken as equal to that of a human won't give two shits if it had a good life before being slaughtered, because to them it's the moral equivalent of killing a person for food. By saying that they're simply ✨wrong✨ for seeing a problem with the killing part, you're missing the entire point. "It had a good life" hardly means anything if you don't think of human life as inherently more valuable. You can disagree with that premise all you want, but you're not gonna change their minds.

I also challenge you to actually come up with an argument for why you feel human life inherently matters more than all nonhuman life, because I've never in my life seen a cogent argument for it that includes all humans and excludes all nonhumans. It's just that evolution hardwired that value into most people (including me, I agree). I think it's fine to feel that way and live accordingly, but you should know where your values come from. Vegans act on that too - getting rid of an infestation would be the equivalent of mass murder. This isn't a dig, by the way, it'd be impossible to have a decent quality of life if you stuck to "humans = nonhuman animals" completely.

I see people tossing around eggs and dairy as morally fine because they don't require killing the animals that produce them, but everyone seems to conveniently forget what they do to nearly all the males. It's not practical for farmers to keep all the males alive for their natural lifespan because they aren't economically useful. Some very small farmers might, but it's never going to happen on any remotely large scale. Something tells me that the "killing animals is bad" club isn't gonna be happy about that.

Also, I don't know what's up with people making shit up about domestication but:

Livestock was, in fact, domesticated. Yes, this includes laying hens. We'll breed anything for efficiency.

The purpose of domesticating an animal doesn't dictate what is morally okay to do with it (ex. if you bred dogs specifically to fight, it wouldn't make dogfighting more moral).

In a similar vein, no, factory farming never reduces the need for cropland, and the animal agriculture industry as a whole doesn't either (hint: it's mostly factory farming). I don't know where people get the idea that animals somehow magic nutrients/energy into existence, but a lot of crops are grown specifically for livestock feed, which is less efficient than growing crops directly for human consumption due to trophic levels and waste production. If you insist otherwise, please take a biology class.

I do think that putting so much focus on individual action is a bit silly considering how giant animal agriculture is as an industry and how heavily subsidized it is. Put some of that energy into changing policy please. It'd probably be more useful.
