Here is one hand? Properly speaking, no. In practice, yes.

Some of you will enjoy its formal similarity to this 4chan post:

I can't stop thinking about goody two-shoes, star player, actual golden retriever who can do no wrong Alfred getting absolutely ruined by some punk British exchange student that everyone is sure was arrested at least once in his life. Arthur corrupting some homely mom's sweet baby boy into drinking alcohol, staying out past curfew, skipping school, and 🤢premarital sex🤢 and Alfred absolutely welcoming Arthur 'fucking up' his bright future because he's in love and Arthur helps him let loose

9, 10, 17 for the Ask Game

9. Worst part of canon to me is the Starscream abuse plotline and why is it still around. Like we get it, Hasbro. It started out as an old villain/henchman trope you were following, but it's spiraled since then and I feel like there's other ways to depict their dynamic as toxic without outright painting them as the abuser and the victim, because it makes the Megatron redemption arcs feel like they're more directly saying "oh but abusers get second chances too🥺🥺🥺" which we fucking get it they do they always fucking do. Again as I said one of the last few times I talked about on this, I'm not mad at the characters as that accomplishes nothing I'm simply disappointed in the creators. Sorry I got strong feelings about this that might seem out of place as a Megatron fan

10. The almost fetishization of seekers, racers, and (sometimes) praxians. At some point it transcends giving them their own little quirks and gets very.... I honest to god don't know how to describe it other than weird. I'm usually a big endorser of "be weird" but singling out specific frametypes as more feral or more sexual or more exotic or all three rubs me the wrong way. I've seen one of my mutuals point out it's connected to TFP Starscream and that's right, it definitely got worse after tfp and it's connected to Starscream in specific. I've seen other people talk about it, but I forget if I've worded this more eloquently in the past or no. Sometimes it's in fics and it's only slight, sometimes it's in fics and it's very noticable.

17. More lighthearted but there should be more art of Makeshift. Easy.

companies barely promote their groups and then think sending them on a survival show on mnet is gonna help with that

#this is my hometown #the beautiful sunset obscures the ocean vista #but you can normally see the ocean on the left here #and on clear days you can even see a couple of the channel islands #but this is my favorite part about driving home #i've talked about this before #but this is the view you're greeted with #when you turn a corner and drive through this mountain pass #my beautiful hometown #miles and miles of farmland and ranches and rolling hills #with the ocean and the channel islands in the distance #and the sun setting behind the mountains #i would die for this town #this land is sacred to me #but yeah this is my favorite part of the drive home #whenever i'm coming back from out of town #turning that corner and driving through the mountain pass #i've always thought of it as like entering the gates to paradise

I had to take a deep breath yesterday and let it go. It's hard to want to talk about things when it seems like just talking about one person in particular can set someone off. I know it's my blog and I can speculate all I want but fandom can be exhausting. Just let me speculate on why this is happening and not be made to feel as if I don't want the others stepping up when it appears to show why they aren't the ones doing so!

You know what, you raise a good point there and this is why I hate when people say, "it's my blog, I can post about what I want" because, like. It is but it's not just your blog. Nothing we say or do here exists in a vacuum. Posts spread. They get reblogged out of your inner circle. They leave tumblr altogether. Was on twitter yesterday and saw a couple screenshots of some bloggers' posts, and that one little innocent thing you said has suddenly become an international incident that causes you or others to get dogpiled/vagued/shaded and it's all so. Well, it's immature, yes. None of you people (and by that, I mean people in this fandom but also fandom in general) know how to have adult conversations with people that upset you. But it's also, like, people aren't careful about what they post and the greater impact of what they post — on either side.

So yes, your blog is your own but you can't always treat it like your own. You have to treat it like it's part of a bigger whole. Because it is! Because people see it and react to what you're saying. Because that's the nature of how tumblr works. And it's not always fair but I swear everyone in this fandom needs a lesson on shutting the fuck up sometime. Not everything deserves your comment. If you don't like something someone said/did/speculated, you can always say "damn, I didn't like that" and let it go. Take a screenshot of the post and send it to someone if it'll make you feel better. If you don't like someone's thoughts or theories, that doesn't need your comment. Or if it does, you can easily say, "I disagree but..."

like the constant harping on things/people that do not spark joy informs the overall atmosphere of the fandom. And for all we talk about the toxicity around these parts, no one wants to take responsibility for their part in it. Answering shitty anons, airing out beef, vaguing people for a difference of opinion, etc — it all adds up. Blogging is like a currency, you know. Everything we say adds to the overall coffers. And when you've got a bunch of genuinely kind people making genuinely mean or toxic posts, that adds to the overall vibe. Next thing you know, you're in a shitty fandom with shitty discourse, daily discourse about absurdities that could've either been addressed privately one on one with the person you have beef with, talked about amongst friends, or just fucking ignored.

It's sad but like I said, no one's going to take responsibility for it.

#jack answers mail #I've talked about this before #I'm not exempt #There are days when I've contributed to the vibe in fandom #I've made comments about things I shouldn't have. I haven't always let things go #but I'm trying not to do that now #because doing that makes the space better for all of us #so now I'm *deep breath* *let it go* #cause it doesn't matter anyway.

It seems someone is questioning your husband's genius with a barrage of IRL logic.

Any comment?

If you feel comfortable please tell me about your middle name in the tags too! I'm nosey and don't know what to do with my own middle name lmao

This is so funny to me. Reducing them down to their simplest attributes. Turning them into symbols.

Not to be a weirdo, because he'll probably see this too, but I like it when DoesHotter replies to me.

It usually makes sense thematically, but sometimes it doesn't and my brain isn't used to being confused/surprised so that's kinda fun for me!

#You see the problem with having a very smart brain (true story I even have papers) is that you can predict almost everything #It also leads to many other problems like having a general disdain for people and maybe a god complex #Having a brain is a curse actually #I've talked about this before #Also people generally probably don't like him very much which makes it better! :3 #I am a very fucked up person. #Also also I just like gathering information I guess?

Hello there! Could we have a cursed fact about turkey vultures? Thanks,

you've probably heard that most vultures have bald heads so they don't get all yuck while going about their daily business.

(their daily business is sticking their entire head into rotting carcasses)

and this is true, but maybe you didn't know that turkey vultures in particular have a moveable neck ruff!

so when it gets cold, they can just-

zip it up.

comfy cozy!
