Adding onto Steve's crime spree from this (and this and this)

Eddie has determined that he's not asking the right questions in life.

Is he questioning the man? Yes. Every day.

Is he asking Wayne for help when his van shits the bed on Thursday? No. When his van is still unusable come Saturday, did he ask his friends if he could catch a ride to band practice? No.

Did he ask if he could get a ride home? Also no.

It's raining and Eddie regrets his life choices so hard, he doesn't notice the Porsche 928 until it blows through the crosswalk he was about to step onto. He's hit with a tidal wave of frigid early November street water because, of course, he is.

"Fuck's sake," Eddie swore, pushing his wet hair out of his face. In his perphery, the Porche slams on its breaks and rolls back into the crosswalk beside him, but he barely notices. Talking to the driver, the world, or god, Eddie does not know when he rants, "Thanks! Thanks for that, I really need pnumonia. Thanks for bestowing-"

"Sorry, man," Steve says, an apologetic wince sticking out of the open window of the Porche. "Wanna ride? I can take you where you're going."

Eddie looks at the car, then at Steve, and then back at the car and signs, "...Fine, but only because this car is beautiful and not to expunge your guilt."

"Dude, I don't think a sponge is going to help."

Eddie rolls his eyes but sticks his guitar in the trunk before sliding into the passenger seat. He has to physically stop himself from touching everything. He's never even seen a Porche before, wow.

Steve's in the driver's seat looking like he's dying for Eddie to ask about the car so he can talk about it. Honestly, Eddie wants to ask about the car. He probably should have asked about the car but instead, he shakes the water out of his hair like a dog as payback.

"C'mon, man," Steve complains, wiping the water off his face. "Watch the leather."

Eddie gives him directions and then bites the bullet. He asks the wrong question, "You trade in the Beamer?"

"No way. That's my baby," He says. "I'm just borrowing this lady."

The conversation is actually nice. None of Eddie's friends know anything about cars but Steve seems to know a lot. He can almost forgive the guy for being a jock and the psychological warfare he's bestowed onto Eddie's brain the past week and a half, but then-

“It sounds like - shit," Eddie says, echoing the same sentiment as Steve at the sight of flashing red and blue lights in the rear view. A question he should've been asking all along occurs to him, "Did you steal this car?"

Steve gives him an annoyed look and then rolls down his window, smiling that All-American smile, "Heya, Hop. Didn't think you were working today."

"This car was reported stolen."

Eddie swears, sinking into the leather with the hopes that it eats him. Steve doesn't even hesitate, "Let me guess, Mrs. Woolledge? Crazy she knows what all her neighbors are doing but not that her kid's on dope."

Hopper doesn't say anything and the silence is loud so Steve adds, "It's not stolen. It's my dad's car. I have permission."

"From your dad?" Hopper asks, getting an annoyed nod from Steve. "Same dad that's out of town?"

"Well, Hop. There's this thing called a phone."

"You get that MRI...right? Throw the keys out the window," Hopper says. Eddie's mentally preparing on how he's going to explain this to Wayne when he calls from jail. Steve protests. Hopper demands, "Throw. The keys. Out. The. Window. Now."

Steve seems to realize that he's pushing his luck because he does just that. He even gets out of the car when Hopper tells him to. Hopper tells him to get in his truck and Steve straight up lies, "Hop, I'm taking my friend home. We're working on a school project together. At his house.”

Eddie curses Steve's entire bloodline from start to finish when Hopper lookings directly at him still in the car, "That true?"

Say no. Say you don't know him. Say you know nothing. Say anything but, "Yes."

"What subject?'

"History," Steve says at the same time Eddie says 'Art' and then rolls his eyes, "Art history, yeah?"

Hopper nods like he thinks they're full of shit and then tells them both to get in his truck.

Steve protests but more about leaving the car on the street than anything else while Eddie briefly thinks about the psychic his mom used to know. He wonders if she could curse someone for real. Maybe he can call her from jail.

He's fully ready to see the police station that he fails to realize where Hopper's going until they’re in Forest Hills. He turns and looks at both of them and says, "I'd like to know what grade you get on this project."

"Aye, aye, Captain," Steve says with a salute, pulling Eddie out of the car. Once they're inside, Steve peaks out the blinds like, "Yeah, he'll sit there for a while. He thinks I'm lying. Wanna smoke?"

Eddie is baffled, "No."

"Okay," Steve shrugs and flops down on the couch. He pulls a set of keys out of his pocket and adds, "Spare key. We just gotta wait until he's gone and can circle back for your guitar."

The only thing Eddie can think is, “what the fuck” and he doesn’t even know which part he’s talking about.

new race weekend , and ofc logan’s car is vibrating / porpoising again !!! lmao because of course williams can’t get him a new car yet with the upgrades and get them working !!!! it’s actually insane how he always gets the shittiest luck ever during race weekends . and it pisses me off so bad because ?? not only are they letting his car be crap and giving him the worst circumstances possible , but they’re also not telling anyone about it during the debriefs on instagram . it’s always logan who has to bring attention to it , but of course no one listens to him or the haters claim he’s “making excuses” when ?? they’re fully valid concerns ??? like what the fuck do you MEAN his car’s upgrades didn’t work so they took them away and they said nothing ??

and now his car is even worse off than before because he’s porpoising like fucking crazy ?? they had him on softs , switched to mediums thinking maybe it had something to do with the tyres , but nope !! still bouncing like crazy !! and for those who don’t know , porpoising in an f1 car is bad because it can cause the car to be unreliable and decrease performance , so of course he’s not gonna be doing too great because THE CAR IS FUCKING BOUNCING UP AND DOWN !!!! and yet what does this man do ? he gives the performance of a lifetime and gets into sq2 with a shit car . y’all i am SO PROUD OF HIM . HE DID SO WELL . HE IS STARTING P15 IN A CAR THAT DOESN’T HAVE THE UPGRADES , IS OVER WEIGHT , AND WAS PORPOISING . he’s doing so well despite the crap conditions he’s under currently and that makes me so insanely happy for him . he genuinely deserves the best , and to see him getting to sq2 honestly gives me so much hope for the whole race weekend .

but genuinely , it's so crazy that they still haven't been able to fix his car and get the upgrades to work . and it's genuinely infuriating because it makes you wonder if he's not getting the upgrades because they genuinely can't get them (due to funding , not having the time / engineers , etc.) or if they're just . not giving them to him just because . and with how he's being treated recently it's making me think that and it's infuriating that i even have to begin thinking about things like that . because it SHOULDN'T be that way . at all , whatsoever .

but on the bright side , logan seems confident and happy in what is coming for the future , and i am sticking with that positivity . he seems happy and that makes me happy . i know he knows what he's doing and where he goes i go !! :) and he did so amazing in sprint quali today ? like i know it's just for the sprint race , but he got into sq2 !!! and is starting 15th !!! that's fucking amazing all things considered ? he's absolutely killing it and that makes me so happy and proud of him . i'm actually looking forward to the sprint and to quali tomorrow to see how he does :3 if i think of anything else / when i rewatch sprint quali tonight to see if i missed anything else then i'll post again :) praying nothing drastic (negative) happens between now and tomorrow !!!

all in all , hopefully the sprint race and quali go well tomorrow ,, i'm confident he'll make us all proud <3

Tell us about Breakdown jehehehehhee

ok if you say soooo (Oh goodness this took me forever to make oops lololol) Yapping below the cut, this is going to be a long one:

Alright I'm just going to use this as an opportunity to dump all my thoughts in one place.

I’ll talk about his design character design first:

For references, I used his g1 cartoon design, original toy, Earthspark, and legacy figure. Then I stuck them all into my character design food processor and tada! I must say I'm quite pleased.

Starting with the colours, I decided to make his red more orange-y & lighter to really squeeze as much contrast juice out of the blue as possible. Then I added in some yellow, made his ‘white’ a very light desaturated blue, plus the purple for his insignia, and voila! I really like this colour scheme, and I’ve been looking for an excuse to use coral in a design for awhile now lololol.

I absolutely adored ES Breakdown’s coloured tires from the moment I first laid eyes on them, so I decided to include that design element here as well. The white decals are just a pattern of squiggly lines alternated with straight lines and dots just to keep things simple.

For Breakdown’s altmode, I went with the Lamborghini Countach LP500 S, which is the same (or close to) as his g1 if I’m not mistaken. I did consider picking a more modern Lamborghini, but I really did fall in love with this car’s vibe. When I close my eyes and envision Breakdown’s alt, this is the car I see, so I decided to just stick with it.

Moving on to his face, I wanted to give Breakdown a really wide eyed expression to get across how on edge he is. His eyes also have little orange rings in them to accentuate this look, but sometimes I’ll just draw it in with the blue instead if he’s far away. Googly eyes hehehe.

I base the majority of my designs off of some kind of animal/creature. For Breakdown that was initially a gummy bear, but I changed my mind! His wide eyes that look like they've seen untold horrors combined with his helm shape really does remind me of a hare. I mean, he also occasionally has prophetic dreams, so I think it really fits him! Also he'll book it rabbit style if someone he doesn't like enters the hes in room lololol.

As I’ve mentioned previously, the little yellow reflective rectangle on Breakdown’s head acts as a headlight that he can turn on whenever. It’s pretty handy for when he needs to navigate dark spaces since his altmode headlights are in his pedes. He’ll also use it if he’s working on something up close that way he can see what he’s doing better.

Moving on, let’s talk one of my favourite aspects of this design: his spoiler! I got the idea of him having a detachable spoiler from his legacy figure , and I love the idea of it just being able to pop it off. The lore here is that one day it just sort of slid out from the connectors because they forgot to weld it in place when they were building him lololol.

He doesn’t get it fixed though, because it’s actually pretty handy to be able to just take it off whenever. For example if he wants to lay down comfortably on his back, or throw it at his brothers, or use it as a makeshift blunt weapon in battle, it has a variety of uses. I just hope he doesn’t lose track of it or it something, that would be very inconvenient.

I’ll also mention that Breakdown’s major subspace compartment is behind his back underneath the spoiler, just like the actual trunk on the Countach. I think it’s pretty funny for him to be able to reach behind his head and pull out whatever random objects hes got in there. This is also the main compartment he keeps his gun in!

Now for some ideas that didn’t make it into his final design:

I really wanted to try giving him purple eyes like his g1 design, but it just doesn’t work with the other colours I chose. Breakdown's eyes need to contrast against the rest of his face for that wide eyed look, and the lavender just doesn’t do that. It’s unfortunate because I really him with purple eyes, but it just doesn’t work here. So sad.

Another idea I had was to give him door wings (I live for kibble, it’s my favorite part). Again, it just didn’t really end up working with the design I had in mind with him, and I think a spoiler does a much better job at enhancing his silhouette anyway (That and I might be giving them to Dead End instead (what who said that). Plus Breakdown already suffers enough with the sensory organs he has, I don’t think we need to give him more lololol.

I also had the idea to give him decals of the number 3 on his doors and tires (this will make sense later when the other Stunticons are done. Or it will be a vestigial concept that doesn't make it into any of their final designs. Who knows!).

In the end I felt this was over complicating things, and that I wouldn’t be able to draw it consistently. I also thought about having his tires have his name as the white decals, but this has the same problem. That and I couldn’t think of a good reason for him to have English writing on his tires, which is too bad since I think they look absolutely adorable!

I'll mention that if you feel inspired by any of the concepts I've show here, feel free to use them! Hell tag me if your feeling up to it, I'd love to see.

Alright now its background info time:

First lets start with how the Stunticons came into existence in this continuity.

The Decepticons are stranded on Earth. Like super stranded. The Nemesis has been critically damaged, and it's currently sitting at the bottom of the ocean. Energon supplies are low, and while there is plenty of it to be refined on the planet, the location they crashed in has really poor quality ore. That and the fact that they have to compete with the Autobots for it has made the situation quite rough.

Anyways, these are obviously the best circumstances to make a brand new gestalt combiner team in yes?

The last time around, the Decepticons made a combiner from a preexisting team (who will go unnamed lest I active The Curse). This time around they want to take a crack at making constructed mechs who are a gestalt from the get go. They take some random sparks they brought with them, some earth vehicles and mechanical parts they stole, the horrifying spark tethering machine, and then they let Starscream go at it for a while.

Next thing you know, tada! Stunticons. You know the rest from here.

Breakdown feels like he is constantly being watched. By what? Depends. Sometimes it's everyone in the room is staring at him, other times it's inanimate objects are able to perceive him, and occasionally its just a feeling. The one thing that's consistent is that it never ever goes away, which is as exhausting as it sounds. His paranoia isn’t completely unfounded at times though… sometimes he really is being watched! By what? That’s for me to know and for you to find out...

Another thing that causes Breakdown a lot of stress is when he has to leave the Nemesis on a mission. I mean, you take a very anxious mech who has only known the confines of an underwater spaceship for his entire short existence... and then show him the widest most open space imaginable. Let’s just say Breakdown is not a fan of the sky!

He finds the sheer vastness of it to be absolutely terrifying, and it doesn’t help that that’s where the Aerialbots attack them from. He’s constantly hyper vigilant of his surroundings when the Stunticons go surface side, and by the time they get back to the ship, he’s completely drained. He can usually handle the stress of it all if he’s with his brothers, but if he’s left alone on the surface he’ll totally freak out. He's gotten himself into a few predicaments trying to find any form of cover, even if it doesn't exactly match his size class.

The inverse is also true: Breakdown generally likes confined spaces because there are less places where something could be watching him from. Put him in a crevice and he actually slightly calms down. Miraculous!

The Stunticons have other duties assigned on the Nemesis, and Breakdown ends up in the communications department. This means he has to deal with Soundwave (scary!) and his cassettes (AAAAA) on a regular basis (and Bitstream, but that's for a different post).

He does actually end up enjoying his job in comms though. Monitor duties can be a good outlet if he doesn't over do it, and he really enjoys learning about how the all the comm machinery functions. He gets kinda freaked out about the fact someone can observe him through comm channels or cameras, so gaining insight into how the stuff works does lessen his anxiety around using them a bit.

Lets see what else... uh his engine still does The Thing and is generally kinda messed up. The medics can't figure out why it's able do that or how to solve the issue with their current resources (which is not a lot considering what happened to the medbay in the crash), so he just sort of has to live with it. Stress of course only serves to worsen the problem, and Breakdown's default state is being stressed out. Unfortunately for him, it's only going to get worse over time.

There's probably more that I forgot to mention, but this post is already massive so I'll leave it here for now.

I have a lot in store for this poor little car… heheheheheHAHAHAHA-Oh shit, the capybara! No wait give him back noooooooooo

Woah you made it all the way to the bottom, thank you for reading!

Of course they r different genres of story centered around very different characters and relationships and situations etc but i think also that just makes it funnier

started watching another home makeover show and it hit me once again how much I want an AU where George and Sapnap are the hosts of a 'siblings getting their own rooms' show (they compete on which room suits their respective kid best) and Dream is one of the cameramen who ended up commenting out loud about something so he ends up being a faceless fan favorite. George does flirt with Dream a lot. Sapnap is very tired of it. They also compete about which room Dream would like the best, which is not the point of the show but in their hearts it is.

[xxplastic-cubexx]

sorry if you've already mentioned but what (re?)ignited your love of comics/x-men/cherik? curious because there are so many different adaptations of them

i think im gonna speak for a few (or a lot of) people when i say that TL;DR the wolverine x deadpool movie that came out this summer is what pulled me back into comics and i COULD leave it there but i will go into excruciating and unnecessary detail instead because i love an origin story and i love oversharing.

under the cut tho because im nice sometimes (there's also wxdp doodles in here. if you want to see that)

ironically (and probably commonly), growing up i was more of an avengers kid. Kinda. Loosely <- binge watched the cartoons and movies and read copious amounts of comics and fics and i am hoarding fanart in my old dresser as we speak ok 'loosely' is a modest lie.

embarrassingly i remember getting into discus cause of captain america LMAO so yeah needless to say i was a Humble Fan- me joining my school's comic class/club didnt help either (shoutout to my teach from that she was the realest one out there for. A Multitude of reasons). she definitely is was inspires me to even draw still and make comics and i often think bout the tips i learned from her class tbh she was great

back to the movies t and comics tho, i got into em because my brother would offer to take me and that's how we'd hang out (i rarely saw movies in theaters and i even more rarely went anywhere as a teenager. still kinda like that today tbh ooops) and yk. it just snowballed after that.

my brother and i have always liked comics- he just more than me for a while (though he still very much loves comics and As We Know From My Posts we still talk about them whenever i see him To An Exhausting Degree)

durin then i was really into stony and i have a few surviving doodles i made but those are between me and god. and anyone who asks tbh LOL

'snap can you make this related to x-men again this is long' ok so fast forward to This Summer again I Still Don't Really See Movies but my brother offered to take me and this was the first time i'd actually seen an x-men movie in full

as a kid i only remember seeing the 'perfection' scene between erik and raven in first class while i was channel surfing. pretty sure i changed the channel after seeing mystique naked cause i was scared my parents would get mad at me if they caught me watching it LOL

BUT MOVING ON As A Kid i think it's also natural you'll sometimes watch 92 if it's on And I Did though evidently it didn't stick too hard (i do remember really liking beast and gambit though.... still do really): my knowledge of x-men was. INCREDIBLY sparse. like diabolically so so i didnt have too much expectations (aside from the fact i vaguely liked deadpool beforehand).

tbh i dont know why my bro never took me to see any of the x-men movies. it's not like he doesn't Also like x-men (90% sure nightcrawler's his favorite but my brother will be caught dead saying he has absolute favorites like that)- he owns a bitch load of deadpool comics/omnibus sets too (of which ive read over the years and reread this year) but Shrug moving on

Much Like Most Of The Internet i fell down the rabbit hole that way. i have some doodles i made a couple days after seeing WxDP that i now have an excuse to throw at all of you Look And Perceive

and so. As I Do. i got curious and told myself i'd binge watch all the x-men movies the week before i went back to school And Then I Did ft. My Brother Sometimes and then i said i'd binge watch all of '92 and And I Did That ft. My Brother Sometimes But Less So and now we're here. currently watching Evolution...

once i got to school i realized i lived near a comic shop and started getting into the comics that way (the first ones i got since going down this rabbit hole was Magneto Was Right!, The Resurrection of Magneto, and The Trial of Magneto. if you were curious !!!!! clearly i didnt care too much about context i just needed to see My Guy jelvejlkvj i have no regrets and Evidently ive read more since)

i'm pretty sure what dragged me into cherik specifically was the fact i saw a clip of The Famous ending to 92 where erik's aghast at the notion jean even has to question his love for charles. i think that was what officially had me refocus my lens on them: not a single poolverine thought after that LOL (all the cherik posting i saw on twitter definitely helped too but that was the nail in the coffin for any other interests i had: i was locked into cherik and x-men in general now)

that clip specifically, i was surprised at the fact they- frequently even- have the x-men franchise say erik loves charles and vice versa so bluntly. even if it's not meant to be romantic, i fear im just a fan of how casually the word's thrown around with them two and i got tender bout it all. Then Yk. i just live for the drama. the hilarity even. the sincerity .... they make me sick if i think of them too long so im gonna end it here

before i go tho ironically enough, the first x-men issue i owned was This one (story a this is that while stuck in some wacko dimension charles accidentally gets himself trapped in logan's mind while utilizing his astral projection. if you were curious). pretty sure i got it for free with another comic set i got years ago since our old comic shop loved to do that, but it's poetic aint it. maybe ill doodle something referencing it..

i should probably look into finishing this arc someday im Dummy curious to even know how it started and how it ends.....
