Connie's grandfather fought in World War II! I learned this from where is thy sting? today. Didn't remember from before. As looking thru pics.

I wonder what stories he had.... if Connie knew any of them

Blessing Curse

I'm looking for an original sin, One with a twist, and a bit of a spin. And since I've done all the old ones 'till they've all been done in. Now I'm just searching, and I'm gone with the wind. Endlessly searching for an original sin Now I bless you with my curse, and encourage your endeavor. You'll be better when your worse, you must die to live forever.

I will show you the depts of the night. It will never be wrong. Together we will take it to the end of the line, my love is like a shadow on you all of the time. Endlessly searching, For an original sin. Jim Steinman, Original sin.

Transformers animated - WHAT IF au

Things that are the same_

Wasp is still a bully and has the same personality in his origin and still picked on Bee. Longarm manipulated him instead of bee. sending Bee to space prison instead.

bulkhead still friends with Bee. Bulk is the only one that protested Bee arrest. Sentinel kicked him out of the academy onto a space bridge repair crew with Ratchet for stand up for the "Con spy".

Wasp does become an elite guard but not for long. For Sentinel does take advantage of him to avoid getting in trouble himself. lying to wasp that if he took the fall for him. he'd reward him. turns out the reward was being banished to a space bridge repair crew, so Sentinel could cover up loose ends. Bulkhead was not happy to see him.

its a redemption arc for Wasp.

-Where is thy Sting is also different - Bulkhead still helps Bumblebee but unintendedly throwing Wasp under the bus to save Bee from going back to prison. he tries to stop Wasp from proving that he is the real one so Bee can escape in the confusion. thou Bulkhead and Wasp have mostly buried the hatchet at this point, there still enough bitter feelings for Bulk to risk wasp going to jail.

ironically Sari still becomes friends with Bee.

Suddenly struck by a plotline that I was upset about from the TFA canon-

With TFP Op present the entire bickering conflict in 'where is thy Sting' with Wasp, can end differently!

I remember being mad as hell that Sentinel would NOT listen to Optimus and the new information the team had discovered about the spy. especially when it was about granting freedom to wrongful incarceration; Wasp was incredibly traumatized by his arrest-and I do not believe he got anything close to fair trial. Straight to serving lifetime! (Seriously what the hell. And what did they do to him in there.)

The Grudge Wasp held throughout his imprisonment, that desperate scramble for justice and freedom drove him to make it out to Earth while manhunted. Driven to find bumblebee. Primus his escape was not even his own! Made a pawn to LongarmPrime AGAIN! Little green diversion.

I feel like Bumblebee being helmjacked and impersonated by Wasp is incredibly freaky to all of the crew; but the awful bothunt he was trying to evade as they closed in on him really makes the action he takes understandable as him buying time as well as being desperate and vengeful.

Wasp blames and believes Bee completely Framed him, blame for being grounded up in the broken and cruel system autobot command has for their prisoners. His shot for elite guardship and life ruined.

It's the same stuff that made the war between transformer factions drag on for so long-and Yet AND YET. Wasp still has so many points of hesitation-! Up until Blackarchnia tricks him into being her little mutation lab rat when he reappears,. he just wants to have his sense of security back-even if it's never going to be the same as what he lost.

TFP Op already changing some sparks for the better with Sentinel and his team;, and that has Me hoping wasp gets to stick around Earth and feel safe enough to unpack the pain of a system that did not care about finding real truth, and Bulkhead and Bee getting another chance to make a friend.; I think he'd be like that roommate you know exists because the things in the house and fridge move, but you don't see very often. Maybe he ends up mutated anyway but at least he also gets the truth before then man.

Rambles about how much Sentinel made the situation escalate BECAUSE Optimus was deescalating it. Sari could have gotten another bot friend! She could've gotten them to be so goofy.Tbh I feel like Sari could befriend just about anybot with the right circumstance but that's for a different ask.

Thank you for your time. ✨

NO CAUSE

Listen listen

One of the plots of this crossover is that tfp OP WILL redeem Wasp, Orion's involvement is gonna change a lot of things in this crossover trust

An Easter Sermon from St. John Chrysostom

Is there anyone who is a devout lover of God? Let them enjoy this beautiful bright festival! Is there anyone who is a grateful servant? Let them rejoice and enter into the joy of their Lord!

Are there any weary with fasting? Let them now receive their wages! If any have toiled from the first hour, let them receive their due reward; If any have come after the third hour, let him with gratitude join in the Feast! And he that arrived after the sixth hour, let him not doubt; for he too shall sustain no loss. And if any delayed until the ninth hour, let him not hesitate; but let him come too. And he who arrived only at the eleventh hour, let him not be afraid by reason of his delay.

For the Lord is gracious and receives the last even as the first. He gives rest to him that comes at the eleventh hour, as well as to him that toiled from the first. To this one He gives, and upon another He bestows. He accepts the works as He greets the endeavor. The deed He honors and the intention He commends.

Let us all enter into the joy of the Lord! First and last alike receive your reward; rich and poor, rejoice together! Sober and slothful, celebrate the day!

You that have kept the fast, and you that have not, rejoice today for the Table is richly laden! Feast royally on it, the calf is a fatted one. Let no one go away hungry. Partake, all, of the cup of faith. Enjoy all the riches of His goodness!

Let no one grieve at his poverty, for the universal kingdom has been revealed. Let no one mourn that he has fallen again and again; for forgiveness has risen from the grave. Let no one fear death, for the Death of our Savior has set us free. He has destroyed it by enduring it.

He destroyed Hades when He descended into it. He put it into an uproar even as it tasted of His flesh. Isaias foretold this when he said, "You, O Hell, have been troubled by encountering Him below."

Hell was in an uproar because it was done away with. It was in an uproar because it is mocked. It was in an uproar, for it is destroyed. It is in an uproar, for it is annihilated. It is in an uproar, for it is now made captive. Hell took a body, and discovered God. It took earth, and encountered Heaven. It took what it saw, and was overcome by what it did not see. O death, where is thy sting? O Hades, where is thy victory?

Christ is Risen, and you, O death, are annihilated! Christ is Risen, and the evil ones are cast down! Christ is Risen, and the angels rejoice! Christ is Risen, and life is liberated! Christ is Risen, and the tomb is emptied of its dead; for Christ having risen from the dead, is become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

To Him be Glory and Power forever and ever. Amen!

Night Terrors....

There are times in the still of the night When I don't think I'll get over you But I've got no choice — I must There are times when I need a new light When your darkness has dissolved And I can see — but only just

You'll always be here with me, you're a ghost and I've been cursed But if you were exorcised, it would only make it worse

A demon or angel — it doesn't matter all that much I toss and I turn every night and I try to feel your touch

And I can't stop wondering I can't stop wondering

I'm remembering walking across campus with a group of friends and saw another group of friends on the other side of the lawn, and one of them yelled out, "you guys! I just realized that 'wow bob wow' backwards is 'wow bob wow'!" and then made the "mind-blown" gesture and we all made the "mind blown" gesture becaue our little minds had indeed just been blown... and somewhere on some college campus something very simliar is happening and will happen across college campuses for decades, hopefully long after all of us are gone, and so death, where is thy sting?
