Heating pad and napping through the pain. I'm lucky, I only get them for a few hours on the first day most of the time.

Some Rodimus Thoughts

In which I have a lot of thoughts about Rodimus and Optimus in the IDW continuity, and why Rodimus deserves a little more credit.

The thing about Rodimus is that he is never good enough.

okay im gonna push the definition of "pairing" with. hot rod/arcee/springer/driftlock + fantasy au

All right, I think I got this.

1. Deadlock is chasing visions of a mech wreathed in flame. He doesn't know how or why it's important, just that he needs to find this mech.

2. Springer is an unholy abomination against science and magic. Arcee and Hot Rod broke him out of the facility he was being kept/experimented on and they're all travelling...just Away, generally. If anyone asks they're just like "oh that's Springer, he's our best friend :)". Deadlock doesn't ask.

3. Arcee is the one with no innate powers. This does not mean she will not fuck you up. It just makes her try harder to kick your face in.

4. Roddy would also like to be very far away from the Temple priests who keep trying to kidnap him saying he's like, the next prime or something???? haha yeah ok man, he's got better things to do. also he can shoot fireballs from his hands.

5. I feel this is flexible enough the setting can be either high fantasy with elves and such, or stick to Cybertron and be a bit more...idk, magical techno-punk? whichever floats your boat. maybe both if you want robot elves or something, I'm not your boss.

Hi! Big fan of yours! I have a question about the reading order for getting to know Verity Carlo's character. I'm *pretty* sure it starts with Infiltration, and the Wreckers comic is in there somewhere, but do you know the exact order off the top of your heard? I was looking at the wiki but honestly I never have an easy time figuring out comic reading orders lol.

You’ve got your starting point exactly right! Verity’s story begins in Infiltration, then continues into the direct sequels, Escalation and Devastation. After that, Simon Furman’s time as writer of the books got cut short, so Verity’s story hits of a bit of a stumbling block and the situation she’s in at the end of Devastation has to be quickly wrapped up without much exposition in Maximum Dinobots.

Verity then returns a few years later in Last Stand of the Wreckers, and then a few years later again in Sins of the Wreckers. And that’s her story so far!

Me: Even though I don’t like it, I understand that the whole Almost Always Chaotic Evil races thing is to have enemies that the PCs can slaughter videogame-style without too much thought and have those random encounters make some sense. It’s just game design and It’s Not That Deep, I understand. 

Also me: Fuck canon, in this whole homebrew world I constructed in my head the Drow’s main religion is a dual worship of both Eilistraee and Vhaeraun (Who’s now Chaotic Neutral with an emphasis on Neutral ever since he sort-of reconciled with his sister), are renowned dancers and rogues and they have this really pretty nighttime festivity where they hold a Masquerade ball in celebration of their twin gods. Cults that worship Lolth still exist but they are like the Drow Taliban and literally nobody likes them.

Also how come goblinoids and orcs are officially playable but gnolls are not. We have turtles, cats, birds, lizards, lions, snakes and even elephants, let me be a fucking hyena you cowards

[amuletmiko]

I would love this so so much

concept: chaotic good Vhaeraun. I love the idea of him and Eilistraee being chaos twins, constantly messing with their mother's plans, freeing Drow wherever they go. Stealing shit. Dancing. Inventing masked balls. Heck yeah

The last several months - including through NaNoWriMo - I’ve been working on a Zaknafein/Iswen Star Wars AU; set during and after Order 66, Jedi Iswen is rescued by Mandalorian Zaknafein. With both of them on the run - from the Republic Empire and House Do’Urden - they need each other, and form an instant connection.

And then plot stuff happens. (Some of which I haven’t figured out; I’m being very freewheeling and impulsive about the plot, which is not my usual way of writing. But, I needed a bit of a change in that aspect, as well as setting.)

It’s basically my love for Star Wars - specific parts of it - strung together with a love for a pairing.

So I’m on AO3 and I see a lot of people who put “I do not own [insert fandom here]” before their story.

Like, I came on this site to read FAN fiction. This is a FAN fiction site. I’m fully aware that you don’t own the fandom or the characters. That’s why it’s called FAN FICTION.

I wonder if the person filming this realized just how 50/50 it was that this buck would run off, or, try and stomp and impale them.

It'd be cool if Dalish Inquisitors could fully deny the Herald of Andraste thing and say they think one of their own gods saved them

Mostly because it makes sense and I feel like you don't get enough chances to deny the Chantry, but also because I want the interaction of

Lavellan: Maybe (insert any elven god) saved me?

Solas: [Greatly Disapproves]

Lavellan: Oh, don't tell me you think it was Andraste!

I don’t understand this sudden resurgence of ‘reeeeee’ jokes happening.

Do- do people just not just know that ‘reeeee’ jokes are an insult made specifically to patronize and mock autistic people? That they aren’t jokes at all? Or are they fully aware of the origin of that “”joke””, and just refuse to stop using it because it makes them laugh, even at the expense of the people they hurt and belittle?

I’m not professionally diagnosed, but I’ve suspected for a while now that I might fall somewhere on the spectrum. I have friends on the spectrum, whom I love and cherish. I have family on the spectrum. I get deeply uncomfortable whenever I see someone- or worse, crowds of people, like in a stream or something- respond with a ‘reeeeee’ exclamation. I can’t even fathom why someone would find it amusing. It’s supposed to emulate an uncomfortable scream of distress, a stereotype that homogenized ASD people under this one behavior because it was seen as the most obvious and annoying to neurotypicals, and was used to dehumanize people with ASD for decades. If you want to take it a step further, not only does it infantilize ASD folk, but anyone who expresses distress in a loud verbal way that is perceived as mildly irritating to anyone in the area, disabled or not! That’s like arguing that a guy yelling out he’s in pain or wants to go home couldn’t possibly have a reason for it or be justified in feeling emotions, he’s just doing it because he wants to ruin your ear drums.

Whoever started encouraging ‘reeee’ ““jokes”” to come back, shame on you. I wouldn’t be surprised if people have picked up on saying it because they’re unaware of the origin of those comments. Everyone’s human, we make mistakes. It’s only once you perpetuate the problem in full knowledge of it, that you BECOME the problem.

Please don’t let your friends make ‘reeeee’ “”jokes.”” If you hear- or see them type- one, stop them and let them know privately what it actually means. If they protest and argue in the favor of using it anyway, well you know exactly how they feel about ASD folks, now don’t you?
