SAS: Red Notice now on the STARZ App known as SAS: Rise of the Black Swan is a 2021 British action thriller film directed by Magnus Martens and based on the novel SAS: Red Notice by former British soldier Andy McNab. SAS (Special Air Service, essentially the British Army's counterterrorism). SAS: Red Notice is a version of Die Hard in a train tunnel. It follows the basic premise of a man with certain skills being in the middle of a terrorist attack. Some critics in the UK 🇬🇧 were not delighted with the SAS: Red Notice film.

Tom Buckingham: The fictional character (SH), a high-functioning psychopath, making him a highly skilled soldier (in the book), but Sam's performance in the film as an ex-SAS officer is unlikely, He just isn't handled well enough and SH is quite dull in his performance at the film and doesn't do a good job of making you care about him. With inept action scenes, the film does Heughan no favours. He should continue with Outlander.

youtube

SAS: Red Notice was the kind of film that failed as an action experience, which was the least it could do. If you've already read the book, do yourself a favour and read it again. SAS: Red Notice is a very forgettable and pretty poor film.

#SASRedNotice #STARZ

@alpsandalpsandalps The film SAS: Red Notice, received some of the worst reviews in the UK 🇬🇧 that it’s important because the film is British and they agree he is not perfect for the role of Mr Bond.

@pinkblizzardgladiator SAS: Red Notice was intended to be Heughan's audition tape for James Bond. Buckingham is a well-spoken military man who is focused during a mission. Heughan considered the role because he felt handsome and fit, but his character was played as an emotionless robot. However, Bond has emotions and a sense of fun, but Buckingham lacks that. Heughan's supporting role in The Spy Who Dumped Me was a better potential Bond skills 😂

@alpsandalpsandalps Sam is bland as the action hero, making his character seem sort of fun, even if he isn’t remotely interesting. He has no skill for this type of film. The film is overlong and messy.

TMA height + shoe headcanons because the mother of puppets told me to

Daisy is 5,4 (in platform combat boots)

Jon is 5,4 (in (green) doc martens)

Melanie is 5,6 (in (dark blue) doc martens)

Basira is 5,10 (in running shoes)

Elias is 5,11 (in dress shoes with lifted heels)

Tim is 6,2 (in everything… he hasn’t noticed)

Sasha is 6,3 (in oxford docs)

Martin is 6,5 (in boat shoes)

Gerry is 6,7 (in unbranded combat boots)

Peter is 6,8 (in some crusty ass sailors boots)

Hellen/Micheal is happy with exactly what height you don’t want or expect it to be

Daisy’s Combat Boots - Bought from a military surplus store but dyed/painted black (like alot Daisy’s clothes)

Jon’s Docs - they’re the only shoes he’ll wear and he bought them during UNI so they’re kinda scuffed but well worn, and regardless of season he wears them with thick wooly socks

Melanie’s Docs - She’s hot 🙄

Basira’s running shoes - She prefers a practical option she doesn’t have to think too hard about, and she’s already a good height as is, so no platforms for her.

Elias’s Elevated Stride - He serves. Also he likes to maintain appearances, and got used to being on the taller side in most of his bodies (not the original body, Jonah Magnus was 4,11)

Tim’s Situation - Ever since being touched by the stranger some of Tim’s features have been uncannily constant, not enough for anyone to notice or for there to be any uncanny valley effect, but regardless of if he wears shoes and what kind he will always be 6,2, his facial hair does not grow beyond a very specific length (the length his brothers facial hair was), and whenever he gets a piecing it closes up within a day once he stops wearing something in it.

Sasha’s Docs - they’re vibey okay ;-; sue me for liking docs (also specifically the brown leather oxford docs, not the kind you’d see at a private school)

Martin’s Boat Feet - idk i feel like that’s a generally neutral option but i actually know very little (nothing) about men’s fashion.

Gerry’s Emo Footwear - I know gerry had a fair bit of cash to spend on Ex Altiora but I feel like he’s wilfully blind to arbitrary standards of style or value, and while price tags really don’t mean much to him, he buys things he likes that last long. The shoes are well worn and sewed in with a few patches and eye designs. (also i’ve always imagined him as a tall and lanky guy)

Peter - he’s crispy and unsettling, so he gets soggy boots

Hellen/Micheal - ::::3

Please could everyone post show recommendations for anyone who needs something new to watch during the strike?

Either add to this post, or create your own!

I'm going to limit myself to 3. And these are all shows that had an ending.

1. Shadowhunters. I believe it is showing on Hulu. It originally aired on Freeform. This show is based on a series of books. I saw the show first and then read the books. I would say the characterization deviated somewhat from the books, but it a good way. It aged up some characters, it fleshed some out. The plot deviates greatly from the books.

The premise is that Shadowhunters have angelic blood and they are on the earth to protect mundanes (regular human beings) from demonic monster attacks. They are trained to be warriors from childhood. But there are also Downworlders, who have some demonic blood, but aren't demons: werewolves, vampires and warlocks. Then there are the Seelies, half angel and half demon. They are like the Fae, they have their own world. But they have representatives who walk the earth.

There are a lot of pairings, but I personally am recommending it because of Malec! Magnus Bane, the High Warlock of Brooklyn, and Alec Lightwood, oldest son of the the family that runs the New York Shadowhunter Institute.

You kind of need to hang in there with this show, it gets better in the second season, and better than that in the third season. It is on Blu ray and dvd.

2. The Untamed. This is a Chinese show. It is based on a book which I have not read, but I understand that in the book, the romantic relationship between the main characters is far more obvious and blatant. But they couldn't go quite that far on Chinese TV. Also, if you do not speak Chinese (I think it is in Mandarin, but I'm not positive) you will have to read subtitles.

The main characters are Wei Wuxian, a charming, mischievous, guy who likes fun and drinking! He is sweet and cute and just a darling. And Lan Wangji, he has been raised to be very serious, there are many rules in the place where he lives and he follows them all. He was raised to be upright, obedient and perfect. He lives in the Cloud Recesses. Others his age are sent there as students to learn philosophy, combat, and such. This is how they meet. And as they grow, they can see through their differences and appreciate each other. And though the series wants it to look as if they love each other only as friends, the actors have great chemistry and you can see through that.

I saw it on YouTube, but I think it is on Amazon Prime right now. It is on Blu ray, but it is a several disc series, there is also a movie called The Untamed, make sure you get the right one.

3. The Sentinel. This is an American series from the 1990s. A police detective, Jim Ellison, finds that his senses are suddenly very acute, annoyingly so. He finds an archaeolgist/cultural anthropologist at the local university who is a TA, working on his doctorate, Blair Sandburg. Blair explains to Jim that he has these senses because ancient cultures had a Sentinel, who would protect the group and and alert them to danger. This is something Blair had studied and what he is doing his doctoral thesis on. He says he can help Jim learn to control his senses, if Jim will allow him to test his senses for his paper. Jim agrees, though Blair is his complete opposite, talks all of the time, long-haired hippie type, into new age sorts of philosophy. Jim is a straight arrow, ex-military, strong, silent type. Blair moves into Jim's place and starts riding along with him when he is at work to help him control his senses.

With the way TV has changed since the 90s, you might feel a bit like you are being queer baited. But nothing homosexual was allowed on mainstream TV yet. But all of the fans saw the slash between the lines.

The Sentinel isn't playing anywhere as far as I know, but it is on DVD. There are 4 seasons, 65 episodes. There are a couple of movies called The Sentinel or Sentinel, so make sure you choose the right one.

Each of these are probably better described on IMDb or somewhere else on the web, but these are my descriptions because these are why I love them.

Next?

What's your ships for the TFA characters?

I have a few and most are pretty weird 😅

Imma be honest and say I don’t really ship the main auto bots with anyone except occasionally ratchet/arcee (tho fanarts are making me consider ratchet/drift lol)

For decepticons (get ready for some sparkling siblings lore) I see megatron and ultra magnus as exes that used to be together before ultra became magnus, ultra promised megatron that one day he’ll become powerful enough to make life better for megatron and his kind who were only seen as military bots. However all the power went to his head and now only focused on the lives of civilians and not military lives. The final straw was when ultra married the leader of the high council, alpha trion (yes I ship ultra/alpha too) which made megatron take matters into his own servos. DW megatron eventually found someone who was loyal to him in shockwave and lugnut is ever so jealous (I ship him with strika but he still simps for his boss)

Lore aside I also ship Percy/wheeljack and lockdown/swindle (Cus why not it’s popular), Yoketron/Dai atlas are the ninja bros parents (who are also brothers in this au)

#I know this makes illogical sense but spare me pls im bad at this #megatron probably looks at the news about ultra and his family and wishes it was their life #oof I accidentally added angst to this au dw it’s mostly happy :D #sparkling siblings au

Literally anything with riptide, man- love me my ocean man

//. Cybertronian Ex-Autobot neutral reader. Hope this is something.//

“I haven’t been held hostage in a while,” Riptide sounds almost impressed, “I didn’t think you would really go through with it.”

“I guess that explains why you practically volunteered,” you mutter.

It was work to move forward keeping Riptide’s gun pressed firmly against the spot marksmecha like yourself referred to as the “point of no return.” There were cranial injuries, even near complete destructions, that the right mechanic could bring a bugger back from, but you had a long, solid habit of never inflicting them. One shot: one less Decepticon. That had been your modus operandi from the moment you’d been forged up until your—

“The deserter!” Some bot or another yelps on finally spotting the two of you enter the ship’s main corridor.

“Your ship’s security is awful,” you grumbled to Riptide, “I assumed the alarm had been sounded back in the brig.”

“Red Alert was re-stationed a while ago, that’s probably why.”

“No idea who that is, but at least the name’s unsubtle enough to guess,” you raise your voice, “yeah it’s the deserter. The assassin. Tell Ultra Magnus to get a pod ready for the nearest waystation or you’re volunteering for next example.”

You jab the gun a little harder against Riptide and he winces, making you wince. You want to apologize, but the ruse is too important. Too much on the line. The bot rushes off to sound the alarm. You stick to the wall.

“I think they would let you go, if you just explained the situation. The war is over. And Ultra Magnus is-“

“Still running the place on military rank and code. Everybody’s still got their badges,” you mutter, “and it’s not like I haven’t racked up a body count on both sides. If you were serious about helping, just. Keep quiet.”

Riptide looks at you, concern in his faceplate, and you look away with a cough.

Very quietly you add, “please?” --- You spend the flight to the waystation pacing while Riptide sits and watches you. "What are you worried about?" "Who says I'm worried?" "You're biting the paint from your hand?"

You exvent and face Riptide. "It's not easy to relax with," you gesture to the Lost Light, which lazily follows your small craft. "You really think they would have shot you down without me?" "I don't know what to think." You check on autopilot again. Check your weapons. Check your comms. You're so busy checking things that your don't notice Riptide until his arms are around you. His chin rests on your shoulder. "I'm glad I got to see you again, if that helps." What it does is bluescreen your processor. "Riptide. I'm not. It's not good that we... reunited."

"Huh." "Huh?" "Just huh." Slowly, you set your gear down and, cautiously, hug him back. "I didn't think you would really go through with the hostaging," Riptide finally says, "because we both know you can't lie for scrap." "...Well. Good thing we were the only ones who did." "Hah, yeah." You don't mean to kiss him. You really don't, but another thing you can't do for scrap is resist your feelings for Riptide. You've never been able to. You didn't mean to find yourself under him for the brief time you were stationed together, and you don't mean to now.

And just like then, he knows this somehow. Riptide doesn't escalate, he lets the two of you slide to the floor and just holds you- careful to avoid your scratched out insignia. "You want to focus on finding your brother," he says half to you, half to himself, and ten percent to no-one. "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "It's not. I owe you so much, Riptide."

"Okay, then just try to stay alive so you can pay me back. Hey, maybe if you find him we can capture both of you! Then you won't have to hostage anyone." "...That's...that's an idea. That exists. Thanks Riptide."

"You can kiss me again if you want."

--- You bolt the instant the pod touches down, transforming for maximum speed. Riptide watches you go ant touches his faceplate. At least you got to say goodbye this time. He wonders if you'll forget him. Maybe that's okay. Maybe it's best to try and forget too... not that he was able to before. He smiles. Nah. He has to remember you. Otherwise, how would he explain all the new paint transfers to Ratchet?

#riptide/reader #riptide mtmte #minors dni #well.#this uh #this got away from me!#anon this is what happens when you rec “literally anything”#some of you may be thinking hey Ish this is weirdly specific #yeah #this is gonna be a case of “I wouldn't do that” I have a feeling #well maybe you need to turn into a gay space plane and maybe it'll hit different #i tried to actually put smut in here and then failed #whoops #anyway

CEO!Magnus and personal chef/bodyguard!Alec

(There is every chance that I have posted this before, I just can't remember. I tried to search through my archive, but.... there is a lot of posts there, did you know? 🤣😂 Anyway, in case I'm making you read this twice, sorry. 😅)

Magnus being like this really big shot CEO who has meetings 24/7 and charity events and social appearances and all that other busy stuff going on. So he gets a personal chef to keep an eye on his nutrition. And Alec is ruthless when it comes to making sure Magnus eats healthy. Magnus: "You know I love your cooking, Darling, but how about a good old fashioned fast food break?" Alec: "All that grease is bad for you. Eat your carrots. You look pale. How much sleep did you get last night?" Magnus, innocently: "Enough?" Alec: "Unlikely. No more caffeine for you today."

Magnus trying to sneak all kinds of unheathy Snacks, and Alec foiling him at every turn. Magnus had an energy drink hidden away in his desk, but as he opens the drawer, there is a bottle of water with a note attatched with "stay hydrated".

Alec even convinced the close by Cafe to not serve Magnus anything with Caffeine, after Magnus' last doctors appointment showed high blood pressure.

Maybe Alec is some kind of ex-agent or ex-military, who got into cooking for an undercover op, but really enjoyed it and wanted to pursue it further when he quite the force.

When one of Alec’s old colluegues comes visiting him, Alec is crouching behind the entertainment system to find Magnus' latest snack hidey-hole. Alec: "He gets more creative every time. Some of the drug dealers we busted could have learned from him."

Bet you Magnus is the type of CEO who has a loyal Twitter following and he tweets about everything Alec cooks for him (and the things he doesn't let him eat.) The Internet already ships them.

Possible tweet: The_Magnificent_Bane: Thank you for the suggestion @randomfollower, but unfortunately Alexander didn’t go for the argument that carrot cake counts as a vegetable.

Why am I know picturing a fight in the kitchen where Alec uses kitchen utensils and food to knock out people who have come to kidnap Magnus

Imagine someone broke into Magnus' place, and the police are called and as they arrive Magnus is like: "Thank you for coming. My chef has already apprehended and restrained the perpetrators, and is waiting for you to take them off his hands in the living room." Police: "... Your cook apprehended them?" Magnus: "Yes. Sadly, the confrontation did not result in the death of that cursed celery he bought earlier."

Magnus: "Tomatoes can't be trusted, my darling. Are they a fruit? Are they a vegetable? No one knows." Alec: "They are fruits." Magnus: "That's what they want you to believe."

I wonder if Flash's dad being the idealism of traditional masculinity impacts Flash's body issues in some way?

Good eye! 😁 Absolutely, when you see that Magnus is this badass with a downright perfect body and the family resemblance is so strong, I thought that would be a good way to show how some of Flash’s body image issues might have been exacerbated.

On top of that, Magnus is a detective. It used to be that Magnus was a cop, but we changed it to more of a private eye sort of detective to avoid triggering anyone unnecessarily. But regardless, if you think about what Magnus does for a living, he's a bit of a hero. He's also seen military action in the past, which caused Flash's family to move around a lot prior to Flash entering high school.

So this guy is a full-on badass hero, and if you remember, Flash and Timber bonded in The Exes Club over the fact that they were both on the outskirts of this group of superheroes. Always on the sidelines.

So, there's definitely a read to be made there that Magnus’s traditional masculinity makes Flash feel inferior.

Luckily, we the audience know Flash is wonderful and heroic as he is.

For all of them, the only way to survive is exile.

Author Links: Connect with Alison on her World of Thrillers site Facebook author page X/Twitter Alison’s writing blog Instagram Goodreads Threads Alison’s Amazon page BlueSky Newsletter sign-up BOOK REVIEW: EXSILIUM The Roman family saga of EXSILIUM by Alison Morton is the sequel to JULIA PRIMA, set in 370 AD. The Roman empire has begun to decay and Christian zealots are imposing their beliefs on others. The daughter of a powerful pagan ruler, Julia Bacausa gambles everything and travels from her homeland of Noricum to reunite and marry Lucius Apulius, a Roman commander stripped of his military rank because of his pagan beliefs. At the start of EXSILIUM, Julia dies shortly after giving birth to her fourth daughter in 383 AD Rome. The epic tale follows the fates of the households of Lucius Apulius and his Roman comrade, Gaius Mitelus. To capture the breadth of how the rapidly changing political climate impacts the families’ lives, the story is told through the perspective of three narrators: Maelia Mitela (Gaius’s sister), Lucius Apulius, and Galla Apulia (Lucius’s oldest daughter). Maelia takes in Lucius’s daughters and helps care for them as Lucius grieves the death of his wife. Five years later, Maelia faces the possibility of losing her estate when her husband dies and is branded a traitor for fighting with the rebel emperor of Britannia, Magnus Maximus, against the Christian general Theodosius. At the risk of losing her estate, Maelia calls on the aid of Lucius and a prestigious lawyer to fend off the confiscation of her property. The revolving door of dignitaries who rise in power threatens to trample on the pagan beliefs of Apulius’s and Mitelus’s families. So that the two families can survive and freely worship their traditional pagan gods, Lucius makes the difficult decision to start a new settlement in Julia’s homeland. Others join him on the dangerous journey to Noricum through harsh landscapes and inclement weather. They face threats of Roman commanders forcing young men to fight in their depleted armies, barbarians plundering homesteads, and bandits attacking and stealing goods from travelers. Julia’s daughters are reflections of their mother’s strength and courage as they overcome formidable obstacles to start a new life. Author Alison Morton has masterfully crafted the chaos in the later stages of the western Roman empire as various factions took power and zealot Christians imposed their religion on others. It is an epic story spanning two decades of how two Roman families bond and make the difficult decision to resurrect their society, culture, and religion in a distant land. The attention to detail reflects the author’s impeccable research and passion for the subject. A list of characters, maps, glossaries of ancient places and terms, and a historical note are extra bonuses that help a reader navigate through the story. Symbols from Roman mythology, woven into the story, highlight the theme that individuals have the power to overcome their struggles. The prologue depicts a scene in which one of the Fates cut Julia’s lifespan short because “each mortal can only have so much of the Universe’s goodness.” As the two families escape Rome, they hide the statue of Victory in a wagon until they reach their final destination. There, they bring it back to its original golden beauty so that it can take its rightful place in Roma Nova. Mortals can’t control what tragic events befall them, but they have the will to overcome these challenges. I highly recommend EXSILIUM as an epic, multi-generational family saga that chronicles the lives of two Roman families fighting to preserve their ancient traditions as Christian zealots gain political influence throughout the empire.

Conatus subversio ducum militarium Russorum a Prigozhin Kremlin permisit habere litmum experimentum fidelitatis aliquorum circulorum defensionis et politicae Russicae: Surovikin solum est eminentissimus et notissimus exponens id quod ad omnes effectus est. parvum deiectionem, quae tamen magnam differentiam habet ad remotionem odiosorum ingenia e potentia missionis comparata. Re vera, Kremlin, cum decisionem generalem "ad dispositionem" relinqueret, eum a ordinibus non feriret, demonstrat adhuc habere duces militum in re militari niti singulari momento in historia Russica, quae in conflictu repraesentata est. in Ucraina, quae facultates humanas et materias absorbet, quae Russia magna difficultate compensare procurat.

Etiam magis, praesidentia indiget ad ordines mundi militaris et indolis Surovikin sicut Surovikin eximi non potest ab scaena tout curia, sicut adhuc utilis esse potest ad bellum et politica proposita: generalis enim vir magnus est. experientia (et flu).

Successor eius Viktor Afzalov primas suas in mense Iulio die 10 palam fecit dum nuntiavit Magistro Defensionis Staff Valery Gerasimov in specie televisifica, quamquam in vi aeris munere CSM per quadriennium functus est.

Afzalov, anno 1968 natus, e Pushkin Scholae militaris anno 1989 lectus est cum specializatione in electronicarum aeris defensione et in 2000 academiam militarem deduxit, deinde anno 2010, academiam militarem generalem Staff virium armatorum frequentavit. Foederatio Russiae. Mense Iulio 2017, ex decreto praesidentiali, praefectus Vks et aeris defensionis Districtus Militaris Orientalis constitutus est, mense Augusto 2018 locum principis virgae accepit. Mense Octobri 2022 , Afzalov praefectus copiarum in zona operationis militaris speciali designatus est, et mense Ianuario 2023 legatus praefectus factus est.

Afzalov institutio respondet necessitati Surovikin removendi e scaena publica - ut mox obliviscatur - et punctum communicationis externae habere referatur, propterea veri simile est quod munus eius efficax erit.

Afzalov phantasma esse videtur: nihil notum est de vita privata, magistratus retia socialia non habet, numquam colloquia media dedit et numquam informationes divulgavit de familia sua. Ubi natus est nec purus praesent.

Eius profile est igitur illius hominis, qui non placet arcu, reservata ac fugax, quae eum facit perfectam indolem ad munus solius oratoris, qui post purgationem Surovikini ad ordinationem militarem restituendam inservit, ideoque; Verisimile est, cum praesidentia novum ducem constituat, in oblivionem deficiet.

Ex parte aeris in conflictu operationum, quod factum est, non habebit quascumque repercussiones, sicut scimus eas maxime consistere in imperio terrestri, quo instrumento aeronautico utitur secundum necessitates operationes. Re quidem vera consentaneum est VKS generales operationes ab Afzalov non decerni et administrari, sed a duo Dronov-Golovko, respective copiis aeris et spatii praefecto, sub rigore Defensionis Generalis. Rebellio Prigozhin re vera a summis ducibus militaribus in potestatem armatorum apud Kremlin induxit, quae, ut scimus, inseritur decernendo de bellicis rebus.

Nunc praedicere de quis Surovikin in praeposito Vks substituere possit et locum Afzalov in interim fundamento capere, difficilius est ob tenuitatem internam condicionem, at si nomen haberemus, nomen haberemus viri ornatissimi Andrey. Dyomin, praefectus current copiarum Air et missilium Defensionis et Deputatus Praefectus Virum Aerospace

Your superhero au is giving me brain worms to write a fanfic! Are there any headcanons that you have for each character?

Indeed there are!

- Ratchet developed the synth-en formula because he felt useless as the only member of the team without powers.

- Ultra Magnus is ex-military and subsequently quite regimented and disciplined. His super senses do not help with this, since they can be quite overwhelming and force him to remain stoic at all times.

- Breakdown does not have invulnerable skin like Bulkhead but makes up for it by being slightly stronger. Still, he tends to get beat up a lot.

- Knock Out's powers must always remain in balance. If he imbues someone with too much energy or withdraws too much energy from someone, he'll collapse either from exhaustion or an energy overload.

- Some time ago, Starscream attempted to murder Megatron by draining the oxygen from his lungs. Let's just say he was punished quite severely and has never attempted anything so bold since.

- No one can confirm whether Soundwave is telepathic or not. He just always seems to know things he shouldn't...

- It's not uncommon for Wheeljack to accidentally blow something up when he's excited. Needless to say, everyone at the Autobot base has had to take cover many times (Optimus and Ultra Magnus have scolded Wheeljack on numerous occasions).

- Smokescreen likes to think he's invincible as a result of his powers. His arrogance has nearly cost him his life.

- Alpha Trion was the last champion of Primus. Optimus (Orion at the time) was shocked when he was chosen as the next champion after Alpha Trion's death (after all, he was just a librarian).

- Driven by jealousy, Megatron made a pact with Unicron when Orion became Optimus. As Unicron's champion, Megatron swore to destroy Optimus and seize control of the world in Unicron's name.

- Arcee has lost two close friends to the Decepticons and subsequently has a deep-seated need to protect her teammates; she'll use her force fields to protect them before thinking of her own safety.

- Bumblebee's throat was slashed open by one of Megatron's energy beams, leaving him mute and with a thick scar, which he tries to hide with turtlenecks and collars. Sometimes he remains at bee size just so no one sees him.

- Bulkhead and Wheeljack were a superhero duo together before they met the Autobots. Bulkhead chose to join them despite Wheeljack's protests. It took some time for Wheeljack to finally join, too, though Bulkhead was overjoyed when he did.

- Airachnid was the first villain Arcee ever faced. Though Airachnid managed to kill Arcee's friend, Tailgate, Arcee still beat her in the end, and Airachnid ended up in prison for years. When the Decepticons broke her out and offered her a place in their ranks, she gladly accepted as a means to get back at Arcee, who was now an Autobot.

- Shockwave's actually pretty neutral to the whole Autobot and Decepticon conflict; he just sticks with the Cons because they support his unethical research.

Unpopular TFA Opinion:

Like most of the human villians, I feel like the cyber-ninjas and techno-organics truly belong in a different Transformers show, instead of Animated...

Why do I think this?

Well, Prowl and Blackarachnia are cool-looking, but they feel out of place...

You see, the Autobots are based on the American Military and Government... and ninjas have a more mystical, ancient Asia vibe...

And despite being a ninja, Prowl somehow ended up with Team Prime and the Spacebridge Repairs and his origins weren’t properly explained until Season 3 (which is almost as frustrating as Sari’s lackluster origin story and the reason why Sentinel wasn’t punished as well as Optimus, which is also only revealed in Season 3...)

Yet everyone, including Ultra Magnus, acts like Prowl to supposed to be with Team Prime (Optimus probably told the other Autobots about Prowl, but still)...

Then there’s those psychic powers that the ninjas have, I personally think it’s a bit unfair that only the ninjas get magic powers...

I think it would’ve been better if the Allspark and those who were blessed/cursed by it were the only one with special, magic-like powers...

I feel like TFA should’ve made Prowl an ex-cop that quit his job, because of how corrupt or unfair the system has become (how ironic would it be, if Sentinel sending Wasp to prison without giving the innocent bot a proper trial is what caused Prowl to quit)...

As for Blackarachnia and Waspinator, I feel like their characters should’ve stayed in Beast Wars, where they belonged...

Especially since we don’t see other beastly or techno-organic bots like them and how both their stories ended on a disappointing note...

Even the TFA Dinobots feel somewhat more in place then they do, cause they were Earth-Made Robot Dinosaurs that the Allspark gave life too...

Speaking of techno-organics, they could’ve made Sari either a cyborg that her father created to be his heir or a fully organic clone of her father that became a cyborg after coming in contact with the Allspark...

I personally think the whole ‘mysterious/unknown’ origins thing is stupid...

Also, Sari should be called a cyborg instead of a techno-organic, cause it’s easier to say!

(Almost all the TFP characters feel like they belong in their show, except for Airachnid and Predaking...)

Title : We are all naked underneath

Pairing : I don't know yet. Polyx reader or specific.

Warning : None.

Notes : Y/l/h for your length hair. Y/h/c for your hair color. Y/t/h for your type of hair (straight, curly...). E/c for eyes color. S/c for skin color. I tried not to describe reader physically but I mention she's a bit busty. Some references to Stargate SG1. Reference To Magnus Bane from shadowhunter but nothing much.

Words : 1802

Plot : Y/n is a beautiful woman working as a Linguist and an Archeologist (just like Daniel Jackson in Stargate SG1) for the Avengers, but she has a secret. She is also a nude model and a bodypaint model. How will it go for her when everyone at work will learn about this...

Masterlist // Request

Chapter 1

Spring, April, New-York City, Sunny with a light breeze, Heaven on earth. The perfect wether for me. People are starting to wear more colorful and joyful clothes revealing their true personnality, birds are chirping in the early morning, a soft reminder the season is changing.

My name is y/n y/l/n, I’m a mi-twenties woman with y/l/h y/t/h y/h/c with e/c and s/c. I like to think that I’m rather good looking despite being a bit busty which is not a trait our society find incredibly attractive unfortunately. Lucky me I’m confident with myself inside and out. I know my look doesn’t define me, that the most important quality of mine is my intelligence. I mean,-I work in the Avengers/Shield complex as an archeologist and linguist specialized in alien texts as well as alien artefacts- I have to be smart cause I’m the only one with this much experience on this line of work. Indeed, before working for the Avengers/Shield, I worked for the military -as a civil- in a secret program called “Stargate” where we worked on aliens technology, I even met some (way before I met Thor, Loki and the Guardians). The program stopped because the governent perferred giving money for the Avengers’s initiative and Shield where the threats were obviously more imminent than what we had under the mountain (Cheyenne Mountain was the name of the military base). That is the reason why the program “Stargate” has been mixed with the Avengers and Shield’s one. Today I’m happy with what I do, I’m still in contact with some of my ex teammates, even if most of them returned to the usual army stuff or get retired. I’m still new to the complex, I don’t have friend there yet so I seem shy and discret but this is only my personnal way of dealing with new things. Once we know me I literra a literally transform into a ray of solar energy, always smiling and laughing about every and anything.

Now that you know more about me, let’s get to the best part, my part time job we can say. I’m working five days a week, seven to eight hours a day in the compound, but when I’m leaving I’m posing naked for a prestigious school art and I’m also the muse of Magnus Bane -a really good friend of mine and a bodypainter- whose career is booming. Many artists, photographers and even painters want me as their muse and model, but for now I prefer to work only with Magnus, I trust him, -even if he pretends to be a Warlock which have no idea what this even means-. You don’t think it’s a big deal ? Me neither, I’m not ashamed of what I do but I’m thinking about my colleagues an the judgement in their eyes. The whispering things behind my back that will automatically stop once I’ll enter the romm. I really don’t want to feel like I have to explain myself when all I’m doing is legal, consensual and during my free time. I know that one day, maybe, they will figure it out...the later the better. Moreover, in the modelling world -naked modelling and bodypaint included- I’m becoming more and more well known with each passing days especially due to my physics that’s breaking the codes in the fashion modelling. Right now my secret is safe and I hope for the longest time.

This morning I’ve decided to come early to work because we received some items -probably aliens- that I will have to examine later. For now I’m rereading my report about alien technology and their future application in the Shield’s armament. I have to explain the complexity to combine earth weapons with alien ones based on my passed experience and the talk I had with engineers. Plus I have to render it understandable for all which is the most difficult. It is now 9:30am, the meeting starts in 30 minutes. I grab my report and leave my desk to go to the meeting floor just below the Avengers residential quarters in the north aisle of the complex. As my working place is situated on the south aisle of it -like all of the workers who are not Avengers, agents or trainees- I have to leave early if I don’t want to be late. As usual, it appears I’m a bit early, I’m puting my report on the huge metallic table farther away from the entry. The room is huge, light grey walls surrounding the table. A tray of coffee, tea and snacks is laying behind me and a huge screen just in front of me. I’m getting a cup of black coffee with a sugar then going back to sit on a chair, few moments later people were starting to enter the room.

The first people to arrive are the Director Fury, agent Coulson and Maria Hill, they are basically here to be the authority between the two tighty linked organization and to take the final decision. Then one high ranked Shield agent enter the room, he will explain to the rest of us why the use of hybrids technlogy is an undeniable need on the field. Finally the Avengers -including Loki- arrive in the meeting room, based on their experience and missions with the Gardians, they will help us -basically the engineers and I- extrapolate the eventual consequences on a more larger scale.

Since everyone is sitted, the meeting could begin. It’s a bit long but really interresting even if I could feel the stare of the Shield agent on me the all time, Hector is his name if I remember correctly. He is tall -almost as much as Thor- athletic with broad shoulder, short curly black hair and deep blue eyes. He has a large scar who begins on his left eyebrow.an ends in the middle of his cheek. He also has a deep voice that can only inspire authority and respect. I try to not make it seem as if I didn’t see him watching me. Halfway during the meeting, Director Fury calls it a pause. The majority are leaving the room to go using the bathroom, taking fresh air and discussing between friends. This Hector guy has taken advantage of this to come and see me while I was left alone in the room.

“Hello there, I’ve never seen you in this meeting are you new ? He asks me nicely, really wanting to know my answer.

“Hi, yes it’s been only 3 to 4 months that I’m working here. I don’t talk to many people appart from the engineers so it’s unikely that you could have seen me.” I answer him, feeling more secure now that I understant why he was looking at me so intently, he just wanted to know more about the new one. It’s actually really kind of him, selfess and generous.

We talk more about work -I’m telling him about my previous work, the different alien races that I met and had the chance to work with, the piece of technology I studied, the ancien texts I had been able to translate...- I was babblering, that’s what’s happening when I’m talking about something I’m really intereste in but strangely he doesn’t seem to listen to me anymore. He seems rather preocupied by something but I have no clues what, maybe I’m just too boring for him and he’s regretting even speaking to me. It doesn’t matter now cause I have to do my part on the meeting, explaining what might happened when alien technology is combined with human one. I told them about the one time in my previous job where an X-301 interceptor has been assembled from part of the Goa’Uld Apophis’s Death Gliders and human tech. What we didn’t know was that Apophis equiped his Death Gliders with recall devices, this way none of his betrayers would be able to use his craft and they would return to his homeworld. Yep, the Goa’Uld aren’t joking at all that’s for sure, esecially when you are a System Lord like him.

When the meeting is over, everybody has decided that the Asgardian brothers as well as the Guardians must approve every hybrids technologies before an high ranked agent can test it. Before I can even escape myself to return working in my office, Hector took hold of my arm and whispered in my hear.

“I know this will sound strange but have we met before ? You sound so familiar...

-As I told you before I’m new here, I...

-Not here...somewhere else... Are you in some TV thing, an actress, a model maybe ? He interrupted me, still speaking lowly so no one could hear.

-I don’t work on TV, I’m not an actress and let’s be honest, look at me and look at all the other models, do you see some commonalities ? There is none cause I’m not like them at all. My looks doesn’t fit the likes of our society and I’m more than okay with that, but thank you...for your unvolontary compliment. I have to go back to work, some artefacts needs my expertise. Have a good day Hector !” I leave the room shortly after Fury Coulson and Hill. The Avengers and Hector stay inside in order to finish plenty of paperworks and brainstormed aliens and humans technologies that can be combined, and be the most useful as well as practical in the field.

Hector isn’t convince by your answer at all, he knows he had seen your face somewhere, but where exactly is the million dollars question. He is so into you that he can’t seem to stay focus on the conversation which didn’t go unnoticed by Steve and Tony.

“If what we’re saying is of no interest for you agent, you can also leave ! Says strongly Steve using his Captain’s voice.

-Sorry Cap, just something in my...I’ll stay focus !

-You better be, we’re talking about a prototype of ring tansporter -a Goa’Uld technology- combined with our cloaking one. If you were more focus during the meeting you’d understand that hybriding with Goa’Uld is dangerous ! Do I have to remind you you’re the one who’s gonna be testing it ?!” Assertively says Tony with his mouth full of sarcasm.

Later this day Hector goes to his personnal quarter situated on the est aisle of the complex. He decides to refresh himself, then search the internet for you, more specifically the you he can’t seem to remember. He uses his computer training and a picture of you -that he took in your personnal file- to find a correspondance in the online world. It’s a tough work, vast research full of uncertainty until...

“Well, well, well what do we have here !?”

Since we're talking about dark Alec and shitty fates, I just remembered a tv series I watched as a child (with my parents ofc 💀😂😂), and it's name was Armaghane Tariki (meaning darkness' gift) and it was about a guy, named Majid, who worked for Mojahedin-e-khalq (a political-militant organization who acted against the government at the time) and he was sent as an undercover agent to spy on a military man, and in order to do so, he had to trick the man's daughter into marrying him 👀👀

And he did, except that while doing so, he actually fell for the girl, and didn't kill her father as he was appointed to, and decided to quit the organization to just have a normal life with her, and he FUCKING TOLD his (ex) colleagues to stay away from him, but they didn't listen 😭😭😭

They felt he had betrayed them for the girl, so they wanted to take revenge and they did it by throwing acid on his wife's face 😭😭😭😭

She was such a lovely girl, and about a half of her face's right side (like her cheek, and near her lips) burnt because of the attack 😭😭😭😭

She recovered, physically, although part of her face was burnt, but she was also mentally damaged, and she refused to take off her roosari Infront of her husband, because she wanted it to cover up her burnt skin, she was painfully self conscious of her appearance, no matter how many time he told her she was still beautiful.

And it came to a point where she actually asked him for a divorce, cause she thought he had stayed with her out of pity, now that she wasn't beautiful anymore and told him he deserved someone who wasn't as damaged as her, she was particularly begging him to let her go and live a happy life with another woman 😭😭 and he just couldn't bare that, couldn't bare losing her.

So he did the only thing he could to make her at ease around him, to stop her from feeling he was the better person in the relationship who she didn't deserve.

He spoke to a doctor, and pretended to have problem in seeing Infront of his wife 🙂 And then he told her that the doctor had told him he had a rare disease that would make him completely blind quickly, and after a while he pretended not to see anything anymore, and be completely blind, so that his wife wouldn't have to cover herself because of him, and think that if her beauty is gone, so is his sight. And so she stayed with him and took care of him and he lived rest of his life pretending not to see anything to have her in his life 😭😭😭😭❤️

And the only time he dropped the presence was at the end of the series, when he killed the people who hurt her wife and made them pay terribly for it 🙂🙂

Dark Alec always gives me this kinda vibe, so romantic but also ruthless to anyone who dares to touch Magnus 🙂🙂 and I think if Alec were Majid and sth like that happened to Magnus, he would gladly do that for him, just to have him by his side, without feeling the need to hide himself from Alec :'') [only after he killed whoever hurt Magnus ofc😑😑]

It got wayyyyy more than I expected LOL 😂 but we'll I have FEELS about dark Alec after your post sis 😭😭🥺

HOLD ON. IM PRETTY SURE IVE SEEN THIS STORY IN A WHATSAPP FORWARD SKSKKSKS (No offense its a great story but you know the ‘ridiculous WhatsApp forwards’ memes right?)

BUT AWWWHHHHH YES THIS IS SO SWEET AND DEFINITELY SOMETHING ALEC (SPECIFICALLY DARK ALEC) WOULD DO 🥺🥺🥺🥺
