my two favorite pieces of hbomberguy's video were these two tests/rules he has for video essays and making media:

"When I think a video is being lazy, I do a little test. I check what sources the video used... and I compare it with the sources you would get if you went to the Wikipedia page for the topic." (Hbomberguy, 55:07)

"I have a little rule for quoting that other creators seem to use as well. If someone saw a clip of your video out of context, would it be possible for them to tell you're quoting someone and where it's from?" (Hbomberguy, 48:18)

These rules I think can be applied to both the act of watching and creating. If you're creating something not intended to be cursory in nature, where are you getting your sources? After that first wikipedia search we all love to do, where do you go from there?

If you're consuming something, and it is intended to be informative in nature, can you go to a random time in it and understand where their sources are coming from?

Ok, kind of a boring thing, but I like to think what car would other ppl like classmates or friends drive on a "ideal" world, and if ppl look my class notebooks they can find some notes of this ideas. Idk, I like to design cars in general, but I need a "personality" as inspiration to do this. I say ideal world because I dont think my friend would get for him a 1988 Nissan Silvia 😒

If anyone wants to hear a car design I do for them, tell me (Im too bored rn and I dont have life to entretain me)

do you ship ravage and drift? you draw them a lot and they're always so touchy lol

nah. they're really touchy amicas, tho. probably because im always touchy with my friends and it just kinda rubs off on my art. ravage is my Me character so i do end up giving him traits i have. one of those is being touchy with people he cares about 🤷‍♂️. he's especially touchy with drift as when they were grouped together in the dead end (which is where they met in my brain), ravage spent a lot of hours curled up in drift's car alt with laserbeak and buzzsaw for shelter. that touchy aspect never really left their dynamic.

and besides,

drift/deadlock's candle has always been lit for someone else.

(plus an extra doodle of them)

#ask: anon #tf art #transformers #more than meets the eye #transformers art #maccadams #maccadam #blight rambles #drift | deadlock #drift #ravage #tf ravage #transformers ravage #mtmte #transformwrs idw #not gonna go all out on tags here #my art #good rule of thumb for me is that unless it is specifically tagged as ship then its not ship #not much of a transformers romance person in general #like there are exceptions and i DO enjoy tf ships. i am actively encouraging ppl to ask about em/about my opinions on ur otps #but my rav and drift are amicas #very TOUCHY amicas. i draw them touching a lot bc i think theyd be pretty physically affectionate with one another #they hug. they cuddle. drift carries ravage occasionally. they speak through hand simply just to feel the contact. ravage puts all his #weight on drift on bad pain days. drift does the same for him. its a big part of their dynamic. its the Trust that comes with that touch #theyre sparkbonded to each other as amicas too. like these two cant really get closer. but its not a romantic dynamic 🤷‍♂️#i cant stop you from seeing it that way and. im not gonna try lol. but anon asked so i figured id answer and talk a bit more about em #idk rambling in the tags

I love Rodimus and Drift being each other's wing-men...

Like in my head they've definitely dated for a sec previously, but realized they're both just. These twinks can't do it for each other okay lMAO they just work better as amica instead of conjunx, yknow? They're the ones who say "if we're not married by -blank- then we'll just bite the bullet". (Also absolutely support driftrod, I just have thoughts on them in this aspect).

Drift has had eyes for Ratchet for a long time, a looong ass time and Rodimus can't believe how long it's taking them to confess properly. Of course in the end Drift didn't need him.. But I wanna think he assigned him to do solo work with Ratchet on purpose so they could catch up and properly bond. Ratchet needs help organizing his office when moving onto the Lost Light? Drift gets assigned to it "You'll help with his, what's that earth term.. Feng Shui?". Drift doesn't buy it and he knows exactly what Rodimus is doing, but he's not going to refuse alone time with his beloved Ratchet.

When Drift and Ratchet come back from their solo adventures and Drift sees who Roddy is crushing on- Oh boy. First it's teasing, then it's being unafraid to talk Rodimus up to Megatron. What is he going to do, kick him off the LL again? Tells him how loyal he is, how he wanted to take the fall despite everything. "Yeah he talks about grandiose things, but it's because he wants that for everyone here."

Drift and Mags/Minimus would absolutely get in on this kinda thing together... It's easy for them to talk about Rodimus in a positive light.

Anyways I love these two bots getting equally strong willed, powerful conjunx-endurae and being a part of each other's relationship journeys in small ways. That's what besties are for.

If you read my ramblings, thankyou~

countries and cities i've been to that i think the lost light crew will enjoy (vol. i)

i think ratchet would like switzerland. snowy alps, open green fields where purple and yellow poppies littered across the grass dance with the northern wind. he enjoys the secluded valleys and will spend hours just driving past the topaz lakes. he likes the quiet of it all, the serenity, the closure. he makes drift join him in their holoforms to walk, taking in the traditional log houses and brightly-colored buildings, shops, and restaurants surrounded by lush woodlands, upland meadows, and snow-capped cliffs. grindelwald because drift is fascinated by humans and their winter sports, ascona for when it gets warmer and the boats are out by the docks. in a first contact au, ratchet would most likely end up working in either zurich or geneva, working closely with earth's international bodies like the united nations to facilitate human-cybertronian relations. i can also see the medic crew stationed there as well; running the first cybertronian medical facility on earth.

drift, predictably, would prefer japan more. osaka and tokyo for its entertainment, where he and rodimus would spend hours exploring the nightlife in their disguises. at times, they would even go as their alt-modes. rodimus gets ahead of himself with all the attention he's getting. he'd travel through many prefectures, driving past the borders to clear his head �� perks of having a conjunx that works closely with human organizations is that he gets exempted from all the paperwork — but always end up somewhere private, tranquil. the shrines, the forests, the mountains — he would even be bold enough to dream of settling down there. one time ratchet flew in to visit him at a resort by the foot of mount fuji, and his husband was neck-deep inside the natural saunas. content and purring, sinking into recharge against the stones.

i have a feeling brainstorm and skids would stir up trouble somewhere in the netherlands. most likely in the infamous lecture halls of leiden university, where great minds like descartes and rembrandt once walked in. they'd hate the weather, where the sun becomes optional the moment it hits autumn (even before, apparently.) the roads are small, so they'd have difficulty navigating at first, nearly driving into a canal because of how fast people bike. direct, with just the right amount of witty, the pair are glad to enjoy the company of dutchies without having to rely on their (human) food because nothing that they've seen looks appealing or digestible. getaway is also there, most likely in amsterdam, where his holoform is most likely to get cornered in an alley and have his bike stolen.

nautica would love the sea, the vast, great open oceans of southeast asia would be the perfect place for her. ever the adventurer, she would drag riptide and velocity with her to explore the islands of the philippines & indonesia. where she'd learn how to dive and swim with the animals past the coral reefs. sweet girl nearly cried when she saw a group of whale sharks. anode and lug are content sitting by the beach, sipping on their latest invention — coconut-infused energon. bali is where i imagine the girls ( and riptide ) would go for a nice getaway. the people are all smiles, warm and friendly, and passionate about their culture. even if the two are more inclined towards the sciences, the flourishing art and spirituality of the balinese people made them feel at home again. ( if not nostalgic for caminus.)

i know rodimus is living his life in spain. maybe it won't be his designated home on earth. but with the lost light stationed in geneva, where ratchet, minimus, and megatron are with the rest of the united nations council ( because there is no way they can park the ship anywhere in the new york branch ), barcelona was his first solo trip on earth without straying too far from his co-captain's watchful eye. it was the peak of summer and there he was under the sun. the people were only initially surprised, but then again, they'd probably seen weirder things than a sixty-foot-tall robot asking them if he could join their game of volley by the beach. he bumps into krok and his rag-tag team — who's also trying to get away from minimus — so that's how he and misfire end up nearly drowning after a competitive game of water tag.

silly little comic for part of my fic :]

[I.D. a three panel pencil comic featuring jay and tim from marble hornets. the first two panels are of tim asking "you mean like- shotgunning?" going from surprised to flustered. the third panel is jay staring back with a wide eyed blushing expression. the word "yes" has been written behind his head very large and in all caps while he says "maybe?" out loud. end I.D.]

#lane speaks #nebulart #i wanna draw other parts of this fic but head angles are tricky if ya catch my drift ;3 #so its silly time for now #marble hornets #mh #jaytim #mh jam #comics

"What will you do without new shows" I haven't watched a mainstream television show as it released in years. I'm catching up on shows my parents liked in the 90s. I'm listening to fiction podcasts with 5 fans. I'm playing a video game the creators want you to pirate. I'm watching a minecraft roleplay. I may not know what I'm gonna do but I'm sure as hell not gonna be a fuckin scab babygirl.

#wga strike #sag aftra #sag aftra strike #podcasts #don't be a scab #drift speaks #I know it's more complicated than this and I am sympathetic toward folks who dont consume media in the manner I do #this is half for the internet funnies #also the media implied is west wing/mash; disco elysium #all minecraft roleplays and like every fiction podcast ever but especially #wolf 359 #listen to wolf 359

Xenk Yendar doesn't traffic in colloquialisms because he's so old he doesn't know any anymore

#the same way i don't understand tiktok-speak xenk hasn't understood slang in 80 years #speak plainly or shut the fuck up this man has a mission. and a quest. and a campaign. and sidequest. and a—#he's so old every time he drops a colloquialism it's so buckwild and outdated it does psychic damage #he once met a quest-giver's 100-year-old great grandmother and they chattered excitedly for over an hour #the quest-giver can't tell anyone what they discussed because those old fuckers code-switched and they couldnt understand 8 words out of 10 #xenk yendar #dungeons and dragons #honor among thieves #by apples #linguistic drift is real and it is the fucking devil #like yeah he's autistic and that's important but don't forget he is also. hella fucking old.#he's seen the rise and fall of entire royal families. he probably remembers when 'bitching' had to do with pouring tea.

Dean, whispering to the Angel in bed beside him who literally cannot sleep: Cas. You awake?

#i just had this image in my head #cute domesticity and cosy middle-of-the-night conversations in bed in hushed whispers #even though theyre in their own house in their own bed #but its like you speak quietly when the room is pitch black #because you dont want to break the quiet cosy nighttime bubble #and Cas literally doesnt sleep but he closes his eyes and he basks in the warmth of being close to Dean #while hes so vulnerable and sleepy and cuddly #and getting into bed with Dean is his favourite thing to do in the whole world #even though they do it every single night #anyway where was i going with this #its just that theyre so SO in love #and they deserve these sweet quiet moments #Cas nuzzling into the back of Dean's neck like Yes Dean Im Awake #and Dean goes on to tell him about how he forgot to say that he bumped into Mr Jenkins at the store earlier #and he gave him some pumpkin seeds to plant #and theyre still in the pocket of the jeans he wore earlier (that are on the floor somewhere)#so dont let him forget to take the seeds out before the jeans go in the laundry basket #and Cas with total solemnity is like I wont. and says that when the pumpkins have grown they can make pumpkin pie #and Dean snuggles back into him and says I love you on a sleepy sigh as he drifts back to sleep #and on that note goodnight tumblr #dont mind me just writing drabbles in the tags instead of sleeping yknow the usual #pie says stuff #destiel #destiel headcanon

i love drift so much hes this serious scary looking dude whod say shit like OwO out loud and is just a dumbass. “why would someone like drift, who was deadlock, do a good combo with someone like Rodimus” they share the absolute same amount of braincells. You think Drift’s the smarter one but really hes just equally as silly as Rodimus, he just doesnt get the sillyguy stamp because hes scary. but him and rodimus as idiots. the sillygang. the stupidduo. the rawr xd combo.
