i reread pick your poison earlier this week, and my favorite bits of these books are the 'ruby busts the case wide open while everybody stares at her' scenes. also, any excuse to draw blacker.
[Image description: A digital comic of a scene from Ruby Redfort: Pick your Poison. The style is very colourful with small doodles and blocks of colour in the background to fill up panel space.
Page 1: Ruby and Blacker enter a lab where Agent SJ is sitting. She smiles at them and asks, "More 'possibly poisoned' beverages?". Ruby responds while looking at the soda bottle she is holding, "Yeah. I mean... I doubt it is." Handing the bottle to SJ she continues, "Actually, I think the bottle contains some kind of code." SJ adjusts the goggles on her head with a questioning expression. The rest of the page is taken up by one large panel filled with doodles and arrows illustrating Ruby's train of thought as she says, "I think it's contained in the taste? Or rather, the flavours." In the background is a map of Twinford, drawing of a man drinking and a diagram of a plastic bottle. "When the guy sipped it, he seemed to be analysing it, trying to decipher what was in it... And once he figured it out, he wrote it down." Several arrows, flies and bubble-like circles float around the dialogue boxes. "Oh, yeah, and there's what's printed printed on the reverse of the label. You can see it through the liquid... FOUR GREAT TASTES SINCE 1922. I'm sure it means more than what it seems to mean, if you know what I mean?"
Page 2: The comic returns to individual square panels as Ruby's ramble comes to an end. Blacker and SJ stand in silence for a moment, looking at Ruby. She asks "...Am I rambling?", and Blacker scratches his head and smiles as he replies, "Only a little. But I follow you." Ruby says, "That's good," and then gestures, saying "So anyway, before I taste it for myself, I'd like to know for certain that one of the ingredients isn't toxic." (A label pointing to her states that she is "getting better at impulse control".) Blacker lets out a small laugh and SJ walks away holding the bottle, saying "Always wise." At the bottom of this page, under the panels is a row of two soda bottles and several science beakers labelled "salty","sweet", "bitter" and "sour". /End description]

since I found out TODAY that there IS a ruby redfort fandom and it has been my major obsession for the past TEN YEARS: my thoughts on some things I discovered and some additions I had already thought about!!
1. blacker being gay makes SO MUCH SENSE
2. froghorn crushing on him makes EVEN MORE SENSE
3. but I can’t decide between asexual froghorn and repressed gay froghorn with a lot of internalized homophobia
4. hitch being bi YES ABSOLUTELY
5. I do believe he was kinda the third person in bradley’s and loveday’s relationship, meaning that they were an item and hitch would join them when they all felt like it
6. I also believe both bradley and loveday are bi hehe
7. by the way, hitch DEFINITELY had a thing with valerie capaldi (which I’m crazy about based on the way he kills her and she’s FUCKING SURPRISED)
8. ruby is definitely not straight but i think she probably doesn’t fully know it yet. I also think she has a crush on del
9. clancy is on the asexual spectrum for me
10. oh also mouse and elliot give non-binary vibes to me
11. and del is definitely a raging lesbian, and i believe vapona begwell had a crush on her
12. red is definitely bi
I can’t think of anything else right now but I might be back. I’m SO HAPPY there’s a fandom and I’m not alone hehe

I did this piece for the TF Zine on Twitter!
I couldn’t resist making it Victory, because what else am I going to do but aggressively advertise this anime to every Transformers fan who breathes in my direction
Bonus version with the logo! Because honestly that space is way too empty without it
Commission Info!

First thought on Transformers Victory:
They put Star Saber in a wild west themed area with cowboy music and then switched to James Bond type instrumentals in the first fucking scene.
Star Saber is three different heights and I find that amusing.
I legit thought Holi was Star Saber. His smallest form and Holi look so much alike why.
I love Deathsaurus man. The constant smirking, the kaiju altmode, his boob animals, and his freaking voice are all great. He’s a masterpiece.
Still sad Esmeral only exists in the manga smh. :/
Star Saber’s voice is so damn deep I did not expect that- O_O
The Dinoforce man. They are so silly.
On that note, GORYU STOP BULLYING YOUR TEAMMATES THEY’RE TRYING THEIR BEST.
I cannot wait to meet the other Decepticons eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh. Leozack first appears in the second episode and he seems like a respectful dude.
Why is it that the guy named Laster is the black one but the dude named Blacker is the red one??? Why did you name a guy who’s predominantly red something like Blacker??? I’m confused???

just Spectrum things
[image description: four colorful digital doodles with ruby and various members of spectrum. in the first, hitch is ruffling her hair as she ducks away and grins. in the second, she's sprawled halfway across a table, pointing at something blacker's writing down as they two of them talk in unintelligible mathematical scribbles. in the third, she and LB are having a staring competition from either end of a table - LB is leaning back in her chair while ruby is leaning forward. in the last, ruby and SJ are both wearing lab safety goggles and looking delighted as they make a bunsen burner flame rainbow. end ID.]

Transformers: Mosaic #83 - "Ambassador"
Originally posted on February 18th, 2008
Story - Carlos Oliveros
Art - Iván Mas
Colours - Liam Shalloo
deviantART | Seibertron | TFW2005 | BotTalk
wada sez: My knowledge of Japanese Generation 1 is pretty spotty, but so far as I can tell, this strip is set after/during the Transformers: Zone OVA, in which the planet Feminia is destroyed by the Nine Great Demon Generals of Violengiguar, the "power-blinded emperor” Overlord ruminates on here. It’s intended to be read more-or-less standalone, however. In a comment on deviantART, Carlos Oliveros comments that Overlord is one of his favourite characters and that he thought the character had a lot of wasted potential—obviously, this was before Last Stand of the Wreckers! I’m not quite sure who the yellow guy is in the first panel; all the characters except Overlord are supposedly from Transformers: Victory, but the only yellowish character I can think of is Killbison, and none of the details match up. Colours here are by Liam Shalloo, who did some work for IDW here and there. In addition to the usual preview, an entire cover was drawn for the strip, and a panel pencils/inks/colours breakdown was also shared—see below the break.
