And if you truly cannot think of anything but have already left kudos, then just comment “Extra kudos”!

Unpopular Fandom Opinion

Don’t feel guilty if you can’t comment on fics. You are not the shittiest fan on earth and you aren’t tearing the writer’s heart out and stomping on it while you read free fiction without “paying.”

Look I don’t care why you don’t comment. But if you sit there after reading my fic and feel a sense of dread while looking at a blank comment form, then do us both a favor and just hit the kudos button. I want you to be entertained. I want you to walk away smiling or…idk turned on or, really, anything positive. If all you feel is guilt, how is that fun for anyone?

Cyclonous also decided he was gonna go live out in the woods.

I’m not really following idw2 so all i know about it rn is:

Bumblebee is a dad (but not for long? Maybe?)

Prowl has MASSIVE tiddies like he is 98% tits and i for one couldn’t be more grateful 😔🙏 oh and he also has a dinosaur as a pet for some reason

There are only two genders in cybertron: cop and politician

Brainstorm is dead but we don’t talk about it

Chromia tried to send a child to prision

Thatse it. No one explain anything to me.

This. Not to mention it JUST STARTED. We could get a bunch of new characters with who know what kind of new relationships.

Chill (IDW2 spoilers)

Guys, please just chill a little bit. It’s fine to make memes on tumblr and be sad about your fav dying, and scream at the uncaring universe, but please don’t harass the new writer. 

IDW2 is a completely different continuity, hence the reboot. There’s a good chance that EVERYTHING will be different in this iteration since it’s being helmed by a different writer who was tasked with rebooting the continuity. That means character importance, character relationships, personality and worldbuilding are all up in the air.  I think it’s fine that he didn’t read all of mtmte, it’s not his job. IDW hired him to create something new, not to continue Jro’s legacy. That story is over. 

Brainstorm’s death isn’t a case of the ‘bury your gays’ trope. He would have to be one of the only established gay characters in the current continuity and then killed off for dramatic effect. A better example of ‘bury your gays’ would have been Rewind before he was resurrected (the story introduced a romance and then killed off one of the participants for drama). I’m not sure if the old idw continuity could do the ‘bury your gays’ trope because everyone was lgbtq (since gender never seemed to be a factor in attraction or romance for the cybertronians) and there were multiple characters in lgbtq relationships by the end of the comic’s run. 

Brainstorm wasn’t established as anything in this continuity. If he stays dead, he’ll be a very minor character in the grand scheme of things. That’s something the fandom is going to have to adjust to. Some characters who were hugely important in mtmte/lost light will be minor or background characters in this new continuity, and one thing about minor/background characters is that they have a very short life expectancy in a transformers comic(RiD more then mtmte. RiD had a ridiculously high body count). Think about how many times a bot was introduced only to die a few pages later in idw1? Many of those characters were people’s favs from older series, but they weren’t important in the idw continuity. The reboot is an opportunity for characters who have been sidelined or neglected to be in the spotlight, a fresh start. 

The old idw timeline will always exist, there’s nothing anyone can do to change it now. idw2 won’t diminish it somehow if it’s not exactly the same. I have no idea if this new comic is going to be compelling, but at least judge it on it’s own terms rather then how closely it adhere’s to idw1 canon. 

tl,dr: New continuity means that old major characters will be new minor characters. Lots of them will probably die because it’s a transformers comic and death is everywhere. The sheer number of lgbtq characters in the old continuity means that some of those characters will be introduced and die right away in the reboot just as a consequence of being in a transformer property rather than as evidence of harmful trope or an insidious problem with the storyline

There’s only been one issue, give the story a chance.

It LITERALLY just started!

Ugh people going after the new guy writing idw2 is so stupid

You mean the people saying he’s homophobic? Because fucking LMAO to that.

Man, Brainstorm seems to be trying to outdo Optimus himself in “times died” huh?

The Flaw in Every Crystal

Chapter 21: 'Life in Praxus' Part 5

Aka: Blanket Negotiations End in a Standstill

So we have Prowl waking up happy to see that Jazz is still on the bed and not exploded, missing, or freaking out. Little victories I guess. Though I love how Prowl just assumes that after one morning freak out its over. Especially since  he isn’t even sure Jazz is awake yet.

Then cue an almost normal morning of Prowl asking if Jazz wants to sleep in after the medical center, racing and such from yesterday and Jazz showing appreciation for it (via wing flicks). Though then we get into problems once again coming about because Prowl seems to constantly wanting to act as though he and Jazz are just happy mates now without acknowledging any damage from before. This can be seen in when he tells Jazz that he would hate for Jazz to be in pain from overexertion. I’m sure Prowl’s thought process is that Jazz should not be in pain because the outing was not a punishment, but for Jazz it doesn’t matter. 

Though part of me wonders if even some part of Prowl did acknowledge the statement because he goes to fetch them both a meal. Though that could just as easily be Prowl wanting to get up and do something or not have Jazz injure himself by quickly trying to carry some cubes up to them. 

This then causes Jazz a breakdown since he can’t understand Prowl’s behavior’s. It almost seems like a person on the outside looking in on an abusive relationship despite this being him in one. Jazz wondering why Prowl isn’t always violent instead of thinking how it could be a cycle at this point. Jazz seems to believe it should be a constant violence instead of how some abuse survivors write about trying to keep one nonviolent cycle going as long as they can. I wonder if Jazz just hasn’t been exposed to realistic stories of abuse, if he found it too violent to see it as part of a normal abusive relationship, or if those simply are not common in any city state Jazz has been to? Or maybe a type of victim blaming for the people remaining in the relationship but because Jazz has so constantly been against it and trying to escape he sees it as something different? Food for thought.

Though I can easily understand Jazz’s confusion over it then since from his point of view it seems like Prowl must be given a Shakespearean like act for an audience of one who will never appreciate it. Jazz can’t reconcile the two different versions of Prowl he’s seen.

Prowl on the other hand is in full “everything is fine now, we are a perfect couple, look at me acting like *I assume* my sire did”. He is preparing Jazz’s energon diluted as he wishes to, asking after Jazz’s emotional state, telling Jazz he call tell him anything, etc. Though we get this an what has been proven to otherwise be an empty gesture since we know that every time Jazz brings up his problems, Prowl simply brushes it off. It also brings up the problem of Praxus with “You should work out your own problems, or have your mate help you but it should ALWAYS stay in the house” as it were.

We also see Jazz falling into depression where he sleeps and then with nothing to really look forward to seems to just want to sleep more. But we get the return of the adorable blanket monster Jazz at least. And Prowl responding to this in an equally playful matter. Jazz even reflects how it is nice to pretend that everything is fine the same way that Prowl is. And it seems as though after Jazz has been however long there, Prowl has gotten some energon more to Jazz’s tastes. Though this seems almost as though Prowl is once again trying to shower Jazz with gifts for if not good, at least not horrible behavior. It should be noted that Prowl keeps the humor going even though he thinks about how absurd the whole thing is. 

....I should probably do a full on analysis sometime about the parallels between the blanket/Jazz and Prowl/Jazz sometime in the future.

Then we get to hear more about Jazz’s budding little crystal garden that seems to be the main thing giving him joy and keeping him going at this point. He is also able to make the garden intricate at this point showing how much time and effort he has put into it. 

And then Prowl leaves with not a great, but no where near a bad foot with Jazz. Jazz then checks on Prowl to see both where Prowl is and why he is still awake. We then end on them falling asleep on the berth.

Till Next Time! 

The Flaw in Every Crystal

Chapter 20: 'Life in Praxus' Part 4

Aka: Driving Force

We start off with Jazz once again having to ask what has been done to him after waking up rather than be allowed to make his own choices. Though at this point I could see Jazz even rejecting a form of help due to just wanting to have control over even one thing in his life even if it is detrimental to him. Though that goes to the heart of the Praxian culture with foreigners, doesn’t it? They shouldn’t be allowed to make any choices due to the fear that they will make the “wrong” one. To the point that Prowl is even allowed to keep Jazz’s modifications from Jazz himself.

I wonder what range “short-range” really means? Can Jazz only contact people within the city? Would he receive an update, ding, or whatever if say rewind or someone entered the city and be able to contact them? Or does it block any numbers not approved of by Prowl?

It is a bit sad that Jazz has had to stop correcting people that Prowl is his mate because in Praxus he is fully considered such. Though it is interesting to hear Prowl referred to as a “warden” rather than a kidnapper/torturer. It begs the question of if Jazz is beginning to internalize some guilt to think that this must be some sort of karma brought onto him due to a prior action rather than a tragic circumstance. It is also interesting that Prowl is referred to as the “warden” rather than a “jailer” or “guard”. The warden is usually known as the being of absolute authority yet being absent from most prisoners lives and in most media is traditionally depicted as corrupt or not believing in the system itself. So for the metaphor proper from a third person angle it would be the city/culture itself that is the warden and Prowl as a guard with Jazz as the prisoner but since Jazz has been depicted as such a single track mind thinker so far and puts such an emphasis on physical sensations it may be that he is unable to think to blame a city/culture itself but rather would blame a singular person or persons.

Also interesting that Prowl offers to explain all the modifications to Jazz inside of the medical center or just go home. I wonder if its so that if Jazz takes the news badly there will be medical staff nearby? Or could it be Prowl thinking that if Jazz does not wish to know right away then it means that he does not car to know ever?

Then when Jazz comments that some of the modifications were described as “surprises” Prowl sidesteps it by asking for another stop before home. From here it is hard to determine if Prowl knew it was a set up to explain about the modifications or if he is taking it as Jazz saying that he does not want the surprise ruined by Prowl explaining it then and there.

We see then that the stop Prowl wants to make is in the city. Jazz gets a view of a bunch of “subs” walking around in the open with different names on their wings along with a strong enforcer presence. It is odd that Praxus, for claiming to be such a safe city with no significant crime rate, boosts such a large number of enforcers paid to seemingly just drive around the city. Could it be to serve as a reminder to any Praxians or non Praxains who wish to disobey some of the traditions? As a constant reminder of Praxus’s power?

As it turns out the place in the city is the “Reeducation center” which Jazz panics at first thinking it could be a brainwashing center a la 1984 or some such. Which I do not believe a building for the purpose Jazz fears would even been in Praxus since from what we have seen of Prowl and some of Barricade’s comments that “training” as it is is considered more a private family/couple matter rather than anything you would feel comfortable asking for outside help about.

It is interesting that Prowl either does not note or does not care about Jazz’s obvious distress at seeing the building and being asked to walk towards it. It seems also the Prowl has plans to be seen in public or at least be able to drive around with Jazz since he worries about Jazz’s skills getting rusty. It takes Jazz guessing at the building’s purpose to prompt Prowl to tell Jazz what the building is really for.

I wonder if this building is only for foreign adopted frames to practice/learn new skills in or if it is for Praxians as well who have found themselves in a new sub/dom position that they did not think they would have before hand. Jazz is forced to accept this explanation from Prowl as to the building’s purpose at face value, since as Jazz notes, there is really no choice for him to refuse that won’t end in more pain for him. 

It is interesting to note that Prowl simply downloads a map of the building before they left and that Prowl had previously said this visit could happen at any orn. There was also no receptionist inside to greet them so the area but either accept only commed appointments or be open for public use and then just not be used that often since Prowl shows no worry about there being crowds or someone else currently using the track. They also don’t run into anyone else in the hallways on the way to the indoor track. 

The track itself seems to be a proper testing ground with obstacles and even parts of the track deliberately neglected to copy that of what may be seen on the roadways. It seems as the only worker in the building as well would be a medic to help deal with any issues that newly door-winged individuals may face.

Jazz’s collar is then removed into Prowl’s subspace. I have to wonder if it is because the track is a closed area so Jazz would have no hope of escaping anyway or if the collar would interfere with the transformation sequence somehow.

Jazz then asks Prowl to join him on the track though I am unsure if it is to make sure that the track is safe first or if Jazz simply wishes for company. Prowl agrees once he is sure that Jazz will not suddenly crash and burn into the side of the track or some such. 

It is interesting that now without the collar around him Jazz reverts quickly to his old nature and even seems to be flirting with Prowl a bit, I assume in a similar way to when he first arrived and caught Prowl’s interest. I wonder if it is a conscious decision to do so to show how well Jazz is without the collar or if it is simply Jazz trying to pretend for a bit that this is how it actually is and the collar didn’t exist for a while.

We also see Prowl happy to see these actions in Jazz and thinking that it was a good gift to deliver this reaction. Though I wonder then if it is a gift to allow Jazz this movement or if it was for medical reasons? 

We then see Jazz start a race with Prowl. It seems at first to be Jazz indulging but this could also allow Jazz some valuable information that if he ever did get on a road with Prowl, if Jazz would be able to out speed him. This would be the perfect environment to test out how their speeds compare on different terrain and the whole while Prowl simply thinks its his mate enjoying a playful race. And then later get to confirm that while Jazz is having fun he also wants to test his limits properly against an enforcer. 

Though it is also interesting that Prowl decides to deliberately let Jazz take the lead and not pass him even though Prowl believes that he could. Is it because Prowl suspects that Jazz would not like it or wanting to keep an eye on Jazz when driving? It is show that Jazz DOES want to fully race Prowl since he then slows to parallel with Prowl before taking off again though Prowl seems more concerned with making sure Jazz would know how to handle himself alone on the road. We see later that the story has enforcers react some way to a chase that Prowl states he does not want to trigger without having warned Jazz first. Whether this is a chase triggering more aggressive actions or being tied to interfacing like in other stories remains to be seen. Though Prowl does feel pride that Jazz is able to out maneuver/outsmart him in the road maze. Though Prowl then feels the need to scare, cut Jazz off to reestablish dominance over him... via it seems a game of chicken.

Then we see how Prowl’s half-explanations tend to do more harm then good as his sudden explanation of no longer being on the track leads Jazz to believe he upset Prowl rather than almost triggered something in Prowl. And at this point Jazz looks for verbal traps in everything as he does not believe in Prowl saying that Jazz could remain longer, instead seeing it as a set up that he will be punished for leaving his dom’s side later. 

It is interesting to see Jazz’s tendency to lie rather than have to wait or explain something he doesn’t want to. 

It seems also that Jazz is lead back still uncollared and then is left by Prowl in the entrance with no instruction. I wonder if this is Prowl once again falling into the “We had a nice day and I WANT Jazz to just act like a good mate so I will pretend that is what is going on” again or if Prowl is so used to either not having a mate or Jazz being locked up that he didn’t think of it. Jazz, for his part, plays into it as well, getting them both energon and then waiting to be able to dry off Prowl. And although Prowl is happy at these actions from Jazz, Jazz is less so, it seems, or simply reminding himself in his thoughts that Prowl is his captor.

And with that the chapter ends with them falling asleep.

Till next time!

So....Pretty.....0-0

Worlds largest single firework shell

I wonder if they could pass Star off as one of the new Luna-1 bots? Then he could get the awesome shades!

Any ideas of what Starscream's new name would be in his post Unicron body?

@auro-bot likes his Italian name “Astrum” and I would certainly be on board with that one. Also, given that they never used her in IDW, “Slipstream” remains available as an option. 

What about “What a Man’s Gotta Do” from Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog?

I have a feeling the Dentist Song from Little Shop of Horrors would suit Pharma. I know he's a doctor but still. Though, who would sing Dark of the Night from Anastasia?

He does have a talent for causing things pain! :D

Funny you should ask - my first impulse was Getaway (mostly because I liked the idea of Whirl doing the ooh-waaah-ooh bits sarcastically), but I think it’s too self-consciously, almost performatively evil for a guy who still considers himself the hero.  And someone else came up with a suggestion I like better… hang on…

I vote Crankcase as the Tin Man then.

Okay hear me out.

Scavengers Wizard of Oz AU.

Cue a bunch of the employees chasing them around with buckets of water before they dry out. At least one is trying to patch a leaky tank with duct tape. 

Wanna make a Jurassic Park parody called Cambrian Aquarium where it’s just the exact same plot but instead of dinosaurs it’s a bunch of marine invertebrates from the Cambrian

I SUPER love Percy. He’s probably my favorite so far. Vex/Vax are great too! And Keyleath whenever she gets kicked out of a place or is instantly found out when she attempts to cheat at anything. The random inspiration songs are great too even if Scalan isn’t one of my top favorite characters.

I actually just finished the episode where they are on a hunt for “Spice” which was like, amazing from start to finish.

Oh cool! I have started getting through critical role too! Granted as the podcast and I feel like I am SUPER far behind since I'm still on season I think like 2 with Vax and Percy and them....

Awesome!  I’m actually watching the first and second campaign basically at the same time, because I’m really enjoying the first campaign as well (with Vax and Percy and company), but I wanted to catch up on the new campaign so that I can eventually watch it as it comes out. :)  They’re unrelated enough that they don’t spoile each other.

Who’s your favourite so far? :)

... Add a bit more plants to the second image and it will be perfect....

i feel attacked lmao

The Flaw in Every Crystal

Chapter 19: 'Life in Praxus' Part 3

Aka: Daily Life?

So, Jazz and Prowl are now back from the second visit to the gardens with Jazz as a now full citizen and given to all the perks, including his own crystal starter kit. 

The chapter begins with Prowl waking up and doing a scan for Jazz, since Jazz is still understandably terrified and prone to curl up in his sleep. Though this night, whether due to exhaustion, joy still from the day before, or just wanting someone else to curl up with, Prowl wakes to find Jazz curled up against him.  

Prowl, finding it cute and probably more in line of what is expected of sub behavior, decides to indulge in being curled up around Jazz. Prowl also starts showing more physical affection to Jazz via petting his wings. Jazz of course responds positively to this sort of physical affection after being so long without. Prowl acknowledges that Jazz will need much more time to become calm around Prowl, though I do wonder what Prowl’s full imagined timeline is since I can’t believe he has it fully open to letting things progress naturally at any point.

Jazz of course, after awakening to find his kidnapper/torturer so close to him, freaks out. In Jazz’s desperate bid to get away, he ends up spraining his wing by hitting it wrong. It can be due both to the wings still being relatively new additions to Jazz’s frame so Jazz has less time to account for their size and movements along with Jazz’s unfamiliarity with the room itself. Prowl, at least, and probably through his police training knows to approach Jazz slowly and to speak softly as not to startle Jazz into trying to flee and injure himself further. This of course fails and Jazz ends up falling off the berth.

Prowl then mistakenly puts Jazz in a hard place since Jazz can’t fix the wing on his own yet doesn’t trust Prowl not to hurt him. Thus unable to run or fight Jazz falls back on freezing as a natural reaction. Prowl feels distress that Jazz is distressed yet unwilling to let Prowl help, as Prowl feels that it is his duty to do so and feels as though the punishment part of the training should be over. Jazz however has never gotten a memo about this and is instead in a constant state of anxiety over the uncertainty of his predicament. Jazz can only plea for Prowl not to hurt him, as he did before in THAT ROOM.

Prowl then promises Jazz he won’t hurt Jazz, probably meaning it as well until he feels Jazz does something wrong again. Jazz, of course knowing Prowl has hurt him before has no reason to believe that he will not be hurt this time but is in no position to refuse any offer of help. So Jazz is forced to calm himself down.

It is funny that Prowl asks Jazz to be strong for two klicks to reset a wing when we have seen Jazz endure torture before at Prowl’s hands. Though in the moment Prowl is probably just trying to be more comforting and perhaps falling back on learned police scripts for dealing with hurt civilians.

I wonder if Prowl was able to sense any of the hatred Jazz felt towards him for a moment or if it was drowned out by the pain that Jazz was in.... Prowl then automatically went to give Jazz a pain blocker since he is now in “good dom looking out for his poor sub” mode of operating. And Prowl does want Jazz to now play as the sub in need of comfort, shown by Prowl repeatedly asking if Jazz is in pain, or okay, and extending his field out to Jazz. 

Jazz himself is arguing about whether to take the comfort Prowl is offering him, or not allow himself any comfort with Prowl and therefore protect himself more when Prowl turns on him again. It is interesting to see these problems come up and reminds me of a prior fic where ‘Prowl” was erased and the “new” Prowl was mated to Soundwave but still loved Jazz. Jazz, undertaking his own mission to bring both to his side even thinks to himself multiple times how easy it would be to just take comfort in the two and forget everything else, or in his own words “go insane”. The Jazz in that fic never did, though he did come very close. The Jazz here, with no Spec Ops training and currently no visible hope of escape, does go and accept comfort from Prowl. And he is comforted by this, allowing himself to drift away and forget his current situation for awhile.

Prowl allows this to go on till it is time for him to leave for work, at which point he tries to convince Jazz to move up onto the bed. Jazz, having been “woken up” and given orders by Prowl once again retreats back into himself, answering the way he assumes Prowl wishes him to. Though even if he asked Prowl to stay, Prowl would probably say it would be ludicrous to stay by Jazz’s side for a bent wing and that he has to go. 

Jazz, in an act to comfort himself in a tactile fashion without having to rely on Prowl, wraps himself in a blanket. The blanket can also serve as Jazz’s attempt at protection going back to childhood fears of monsters under the bed who would grab you if you were not covered. Prowl then gets Jazz some of his diluted energon. 

Jazz is then given run of the building for the ....third time? With no explosions for once. Though Prowl is extra weary when entering his home. Jazz, for his part has continued to take comfort in the blanket and move on to tending to his crystals, which are dependent on him to develop. 

Prowl then tries for the most awkward attempts at small talk with Jazz. Jazz however takes this to be in a condescending tone and is defensive thinking Prowl is saying that Jazz wasted the day away when Jazz just wasn’t up to causing anymore harm. Prowl doesn’t even offer how his day went in return. Instead Prowl decides to change topics to get Jazz to speak to him a bit more by complementing the garden Jazz has started. Jazz is not up to conversing though and remains quiet before returning back to his work leaving Prowl with no idea how to continue any conversation. Prowl though takes comfort in that at least Jazz has shown an interest in something and is not just catatonic, assuming that the awkwardness will naturally fade with time as Jazz get more used to Prowl as his mate.

 I wonder if Prowl simply doesn’t want the embarrassment of a mate wrapped in a comfort object which is why he thinks to only allow Jazz to continue on for a day longer acting like that? 

Prowl also offers still to take Jazz anywhere in the city Jazz would like to go before or after the doctor visit.

Jazz does actually show some of his growing comfort with Prowl in this new situation by making a joke about the blanket accepting him as family now. Or it is a joke to simply cover his real fear of being separated from it. Unfortunately, Prowl is unable to determine how to respond and the joke dies a sad and lonely death on the kitchen table.

Thus we leave again to return on Jazz’s check-up.

Till Next Time!

TO THE ICE WALL and therefore...space...?

I can’t breathe from laughing at this

WANT

This adorable little robot is designed to make sure its photosynthesising passenger is well taken care of. It moves towards brighter light if it needs, or hides in the shade to keep cool. When in the light, it rotates to make sure the plant gets plenty of illumination. It even likes to play with humans.

Oh, and apparently, it gets antsy when it’s thirsty.

The robot is actually an art project called “Sharing Human Technology with Plants” by a roboticist named Sun Tianqi. It’s made from a modified version of a Vincross HEXA robot, and in his own words, its purpose is “to explore the relationship between living beings and robots.”

I don’t care if it’s silly. I want one.

I would almost want it to be Solus just for Windblades reaction.....

Considering that there are theories that a lot of the main cast could be quasi-reincarnations of the primes, do you think precious trash Screamchild could be one as well?

I dunno if the reincarnation idea holds up so well in the IDW continuity, but I could imagine Shockwave picking out/moulding the original Primes so that they mirrored the modern-day bots he knew. The reincarnation thing might still work in some of the other continuities though. Either way, I’d say Starscream would probably correspond to Liege Maximo. 

Starscream would watch through opera glasses and you know it.

Concept: Prowl gets dinged on the head and loses the ability to control his doorwings and thus starts broadcasting whatever emotion he feels with their wiggles. Sees Chromedome, mouth says. "..." wings say: "OH GOD I LOVE YOU COME BACK TO ME." :D

I love this, and what I especially love is the question of, okay, so who can actually interpret the door wiggles?  Is this a commonly understood bit of body language on Cybertron, or is it only other mechs with doors (or from mech-with-doors-heavy subcultures) who can pick up on it?

Because I’m now picturing Chromedome being… well, probably not oblivious, since he was in love with and work partners with Prowl for ages, so he realises something’s going on, but he may not know the exact Language of Doors.  It looks - desperate, almost pained, but also affectionate?  Can he be reading that right?  And Rewind, who doesn’t have his own doorwings but does have about twelve million years’ worth of footage of Cybertronian body language, is giving Prowl the dirtiest look you can imagine as he pulls his husband away.  Meanwhile, across the room, Skids is just like WHOA, I had no idea, Boss, you’ve really got it bad, haven’t you? and Getaway is all what is it?  What’s going on?  Skids?  Skids.  Skiiiiiiiiids.

And then it turns out doorwing language is not dissimilar to plane wing language, and all the Decepticons have to do to work out the Autobots’ plans is give Starscream a pair of binoculars and have him watch Prowl across the battlefield. :D

Well......if you don’t want the gift card.....you could donate it to your favorite fan? XD

Or a charity or one of those websites that let you post gift cards, though that’s more for small amounts....

While the whole waiting for two fecking months for a parcel that ended up being wrong was and is annoying as all hell, the company is shipping me a new hoodie, the correct one I hope to all hell, and a return envelope ‘cause I ain’t paying for that. Plus I got a gift card for  future purchase. Downside, I don’t know if I want to spend anything, even with a gift card, and wait over a month to receive a product. We’ll see if they get some good TF merch I can’t resist.

You know, this sounds a LOT like some time traveler went back and blabbed to the guy that the only reason he is known is because of the complaints.

Not naming any names, just saying that because a time loop worked doesn’t mean that you should be using one.

Your players are faced with an ancient Sumerian curse! However, since the early ancient Sumerian language was only used for recording tax debts, it turns out to actually be an ancient Sumerian bill.

I did try both once....Lavender foaming bath salts with a citrus bath bomb. The smell combination was.....not a pleasant surprise. Not to mention I like a LOT of bubbles so it covered the colored water and was more a bubble bath that made me SUPER wrinkly since it was foaming bath salts along with the bath bomb.

apricots-from-nara replied to your post:  Unpopular Opinion: Bubble baths are better than…

What about both at the same time tho???

I’ve never tried that!  Do they not… fight?  Or do you get the same scent bubble bath and bath bomb?

YES! And some Till All Are One!

I will give Hasbro every single thing I own in the value of dollars for them to produce a traditionally animated feature of the Windblade comic. All done in Sarah Stones style.

Honesty, I am desperate for well animated Transformer’s shows, and I will give Hasbro my fucking soul, just please. PLEASE do what DC does and create a lot of animated side movies based on the comics. PLEASE. I AM BEGGING YOU HASBRO.
