TF NSFW Headcanons #2 - Optimus Prime

Warnings: sub/bottom Optimus Prime + heavy praise kink + breeding kink + he's so malewife + size kink + lots of kissing + rough sex + oral fixation + slight humiliation kink + he's such a whore for praise + i hope you guys like transforming trucks

A/N: The interpretation is up to the reader, but I was imagining idw Optimus while making this.

-> Frame Optimus is your type of mech if you like big, beautiful mechs who are most likely stronger than you. Optimus has wide, heavy set hips and thick white thighs that many of his berth partners ask him to suffocate their heads with. He has a wide and heavy chassis that's warm and soothing to the touch especially due to the matrix inside of him. His finials are actually very sensitive and he loves to have his partners tug on them as he whines a bit. His deep baritone is so soothing to listen to, and sounds heavenly when he lets out long moans or the occasional whine or whimper when he's overstimulated.

Optimus' array is exactly what you'd expect from a mech of his size. His spike is quite proportionate, the same gray color as his faceplate with red and blue strips of biolights decorating it. His valve is so pretty, a blue color with blue pulsing biolights and a bright red node which also happens to be very big, drawing his partner's attention. Optimus' valve is plush and deep, softly massaging his partner's spike as they sink themselves in as far as they can. His matrix-powered frame has built in magnets that makes his valve suck in his partner's spike even deeper and stimulates their spike.

-> Breeding If there's anything you want to do with Optimus during interface to guarantee that he'll overload is to promise to breed him. This kink shows when Optimus hears his conjunx talk about how they'll fill his gestation tank up with their transfluid and have him carry their sparkling, he doesn't take it as a threat, he takes it as a promise. When his conjunx finally frags him just how he likes it, his deep moans fill the room as his valve takes the spike inside of him deep. Once his conjunx announces that they'll breed him well and good, no matter how close or far he is from his overload, he will overload so hard that he might just short circuit, his HUD flashing with warnings of overheating. Finally, the feeling of transfluid filling his gestation chamber is so euphoric that depending on how far off he is, might result in an overload so powerful it causes his whole systems to reboot. This kink makes mating press is his favorite position<3

-> Size Kink Optimus has a size kink but not in the way that many people would think. Optimus doesn't care too much about the size of his partners, but he definitely enjoys when his partners can manhandle and dominate him, especially when they're smaller than him. He loves to see his smaller partners on top of him as they push him into whatever surface they're interfacing on and just frag him so hard that his helm is left spinning. His smaller partners get an ego boost when they see how compliant the Prime is for them that it riles them up, giving them the energy to last longer in Optimus' tight valve as they tease him about how desperate he is for a mech that's almost half his size. It makes him burn with humiliation yet he just can't get enough of it.

-> Oral Fixation Optimus loves to have something filling his mouth. He gets easily excited when his partner brings their servo up to his mouth and presses their digits into his intake, prodding at his glossa. He'll gladly choke on those digits if his partner wishes so. Even more gladly, he enjoys sucking spike. He'll worship any spike in front of him no matter the size, his glossa working itself up and down the spike's length, deepthroating it as far as he can. And he will take all of it. He lets out adorable moans as he bobs up and down on the spike in front of him, making sure to pleasure his partner. Even he gets off on it, his charge quickly raising as he services the spike in front of him. And if his partner fucks his mouth? He'll absolutely lose it. Optical fluid will streak down his face as he lets out choked moans, his partner ramming their spike down his intake. His panel will retract and his lubricant will drip onto the surface below as he tries desperately to not touch himself.

-> Kissing Connecting to his oral kink, Optimus loves to kiss his partner. It's embarrassing for him to admit, but intense makeout sessions is one of his biggest kinks. The way that his partner's glossa invades his intake, wrestling Optimus' own glossa for control. Optimus gets so light headed that all he can do is whimper into the kiss as he allows himself to be dominated. He enjoys it at any pace, whether the glossa invading his intake is slow and loving or rough and passionate. He could very well overload just from the feeling of his intake being assaulted by a highly skilled glossa, bonus points if the mech is holding his hips or waist tightly as they grind their leg against Optimus' panel.

-> Praise Optimus has a praise kink. No arguments. The poor mech has the weight of the whole world on his shoulders, his autobots always looking up to him as their leader, all his enemies wanting his head, it's just so much for him to deal with! But whenever his partner has their servos roaming his frame as they coo into his audials of how much of a good bot he his, how beautiful he is, he'll be putty in their hands. He always whines when he's being praised because he truly doesn't think he's deserving of it :(. Optimus loves being praised while sucking spike because it makes feel so good. To just swirl his glossa around a spike as his partner grunts above him, praising him for all the hard work he's putting into servicing them. It always gives him this fuzzy feeling in his processor and is the easiest way to get him deep into subspace.

Honestly, I could make the argument that her first appearances in both Archie and IDW actually summarise what the writers are gonna do wrong in every appearance she has.

Archie introduces her in an underwhelming adaptation of Rush with bad art where she gets misgendered by fucking robots for 2 pages, knocked out by one and kidnapped. She actually gets the glory of breaking herself out for a moment, only for Sonic to beat her in their fight by taking away her oxygen and leaving her struggling to breathe. A "wonderful" start to a bunch of the aforementioned trends that make their appearance in every later issue, culminating in the shitshow that is Pirate Plunder Panic, which also decided to drag poor Marine down with her.

IDW introduces her in the same issue as Tangle, who already had a pretty good introduction to her character and skill set and was also EXPLICITLY MADE because thinks the other girls besides Blaze aren't worth shit and Blaze's situation makes it hard for her to be in Sonic's world without good reason. The second reason makes sense at least, but then she shows up anyway out of nowhere to destroy the badniks that were cornering Sonic and Tangle, even though they were already beating them and didn't her help for that. She and Sonic get launched into the air while holding hands and destroy the ship, then Blaze decides to stay because apparently the Sol Emeralds said she need to for "something". It becomes obvious in later issues that she's not actually needed for anything and she's purely there for fanservice, which is further proven by Flynn giving bullshit reasons for her not to use her instant win Burning form on Neo Metal. This tracks with her next story appearance at the end of the MV arc, where she is clearly only there for fanservice again and turns her into a plot device for a subplot that went nowhere and wasn't even needed. Cue later stories including her when she isn't needed, solely to look cool (or for another shippy hand holding thing with Sonic). She's about as needed in these storylines as she was in 06's. The only thing going for her in IDW is the art looking nice, which is also literally the only reason she's there. To look nice. Oh, and Marine was also there that one time. Remember? No? Fair enough.

Long story short, she's bad in both comics and I never want spinoff media to touch her again.

I'm guessing you are thankful that neither Boom nor Prime ever laid a hand on her?

Personally, I couldn't stand the way Yardley drew her with wrongly-shaped eyes (Which goes against the way she carries herself.), large boobs and in Burning form, marking on her "ponytail." The expressions are just as bad. Because Blaze is not an exuberant character in terms of expression - She's reserved.

This sounds like a stupid fic idea but I dunno also possible Earthspark spoilers(maybe?)

For some odd reason, my brain seemed to really like the idea of what if in Earthspark the backstory of like Megatron, Soundwave and Starscream is that they used to be really close friends before the war and during the war the friendship slowly breaks and completely shatters when the war ended or when Megatron decided to team-up with the Autobots.

Also like it would be cool like the Decepticons(just like TFP or IDW) were just victims of the caste system and had started out as an act of hope and freedom for a better life and became friends because of this but relationships crash and burn as the war started and in the end became divided and scattered. Meanwhile the Autobots just wanted to the Decepticons to, you know, keep them inline or minimize damage and in the end the Autobots changed their morals and became united in the end.

This could be the reason why Megatron doesn't want to see his Decepticons stuck in a jail or being mistreated. These are his comrades, his people. He knew their reasons for their actions.

Also I think in the episode where Megatron and Soundwave fought, he looks kind of a bit shocked that Soundwave considered him a traitor. And the fact that Sounders is just so feral to him, you know there's more ✨ drama ✨ to this and them being very close friends waaaaaaay before the war is definitely going to hurt soooo bad. Maybe it's because of this too perhaps Megatron has some hope that Soundwave could join him trying to make peace.

Now for Starscream... we don't know anything about him in Earthspark other than he cackled like mad for 5 seconds probably implying that he is still the scheming seeker that we know. Heck, I was kinda hoping that just like Megatron and Soundwave his personality is somewhat altered in this universe. (You know like Megs being close with a human and Sounds being feral and looks like having issues with his casseticons)

Who knows, for all we know Earthspark could shock us by making Starscream, just like Soundwave, wanted revenge to Megatron although with a lot more personal grudge that had brewed over the years they had together (these grudges probably formed during the war).

But honestly, anything works for me... BUT PLEASE I DON'T WANT STARSCREAM TO BE A PUNCHING BAG AGAIN. I mean they could use it as a plot device (?) like he would get so sick of it and proves to them that he is more than that and becomes the town's ✨ local menace ✨ just because he can.

Anyway that's about it. I know it sounds so far fetched but I want to get this out of my brain

#transformers earthspark #earthspark #earthspark spoilers #tfe #starscream #megatron #soundwave #this idea couldn't just leave my brain #my desire to make them friends and write angst is strong #to see them used to be close and slowly fall apart as they yearn for the past #but trauma screw them up so bad that rebuilding their friendship is nonexistent

How I Got Here

Hello,

And happy birthday to me! I got you a present! It’s a blog!

Thanks for joining me for what ought to be a somewhat unusual blog. This one’s both addressing something I’ve been asked many many times and, with luck, maybe helping me sort out a few things for myself. I’m going to be honest… I started writing this in like a fit of imposter syndrome (it’s not just a Sonic mini-series) and depression.

I struggle a lot with my confidence. I think I’m pretty good at what I do and at being a good person, but y’know, between mental illness often not being in line with reality and living and working in the same place most of the time now with a lot of my socialization being online or just through text and just sometimes really burning out from the stresses of my everyday–both personally and professionally–it’s hard. It is hard to be a person right now. It is hard to reasonably do almost anything.

That’s maybe getting away from the point, so to try to bring us back on track… I am a person in a small industry working in what is in some ways an even smaller subsection of that industry–freelancers, people creating comics on their own, outnumber the people working behind the scenes at comic companies making comics many times over. When you have a job like mine, where I work in comics and I work on some beloved properties and I have hiring power and the ability to help people get their foot in the door, you’re frequently asked how you got there? What was your path to success? How’d you become an editor or writer or artist or whatever?

The answer is always different for each person you ask, but a central thread seems to tie us all together: determination, some level of hard work over years, and a whole lotta luck.

So, this is how I’ve ended up where I am.

The Early Advantage

A disclaimer for this whole update: I am an old man (ish–let me have it, it’s my birthday). So, let it just be said that I’m working off of old information. Some combination of half-remembered facts, family lore, and stories from my childhood, that may or may not be fully accurate as I’m not fact-checking them and I may not have always fully understood.

But let’s start when I was very little. Itty-bitty even. One of the first people to know that I had been born–not the first, but certainly within the first couple dozen–was my dad’s boss… Then Wildstorm founder, and now DC Comics publisher, president, and CCO, Jim Lee. Not a bad guy to know practically from birth if you’d eventually like to get into comics. Not that I work with him, but I do and have worked with some former Wildstorm folks and I think this is very indicative of the advantage I had growing up.

So, from birth practically, I was steeped in comics and books. My dad was working at Wildstorm, where he worked in marketing and then in editorial and did his fair share of writing. My mom co-owned Mysterious Galaxy, the San Diego genre-fiction bookstore institution. I was frequently in spaces with people who would later be my peers.

It also meant that I had a lot of access that other people never had or will. I remember being in the Wildstorm offices some days as a kid, and a few years later, in the old IDW ones too. I got to go to DC back in the NY years a couple times. I got to talk to heavyweights in comics and pick their brains and look ‘em in the eye and tell them that some day I’d have their jobs. I got to grow up surrounded by comics and books and the people who made them and to get some real insight to how they work. But, I knew that to make it, I’d still have to work for it, because I saw how hard the people in my life worked too.

One specific story from that time that I think is kinda fun: I was in probably first or second grade and I did that assignment a lot of kids do about “what do you want to be when you grow up?” And while I was probably more in the know than a lot of kids at that age, I wasn’t entirely clear on the nuances of writer vs. artist vs. cartoonist. I knew comics were made by people, and that sometimes the people did one thing and sometimes they did everything, but I wasn’t super clear on what made the difference. And I remember starting that assignment wanting to describe being a writer like my dad, but not fully being able to uncouple the idea of doing the art too. And after it, when I had a clearer picture of what the distinctions were, I think that’s when I really settled into wanting to be a writer.

Gifted Kid

Do you have a period in your life that you struggle to remember? I find that to be the case with a lot of my childhood. It’s one of those things that’s probably nothing, right? The older we get, the less we remember from our youth, and the more it gets filtered down to key events and details–the things that have some major significance or that have been told to or by us enough time we feel we can’t help but remember them. But sometimes I do worry about it. I worry that hindsight isn’t as 20/20 as we say it is and that there are things that’re just slippery–that some part of me thinks I should remember, or that sometimes my mom will talk about like I do remember–but that I just don’t. And when I don’t remember these things, well, it’s frustrating even if it’s not a big deal.

Like, does it matter that I don’t remember the time in my life when I primarily wore sweatpants and cowboy boots? No, though I am retroactively embarrassed for myself. I remember wearing sweatpants–to bed or when exercising, same as I do now, though otherwise I primarily wear jeans (as an aside, since we’re getting personal this time around, my butt has gotten too big and keeps tearing my jeans in the back). And I certainly remember wearing cowboy boots–which I just don’t do anymore. I don’t have a pair, but I do still have a lot of love for a good pair of boots in the right setting. But in spite of how little I know it matters in the grand scheme of my life, I also know that it makes me worry that I can’t remember something like that–the same way I worry when I can’t remember anything. I was talking with Becca recently about feeling like my memory was worse and was it an effect of getting covid and not realizing it, and as they pointed out, it’s probably mostly the fact that I’ve been stressed out kinda non-stop for like… 3 ½ years.

Can you tell I wrote that while feeling more depressed? Anyway, to the topic at hand, what I do remember from this time in my life and that is relevant to how I got to where I am, is that I was a gifted student. I know I have a few international regular readers, so I’ll elaborate in case your school system is substantially different. When we moved from bustling San Diego to the middle of nowhere, Arizona, I went from private school to public school and two very different educational standards. I remember, as an obnoxious, snotty kid, saying at some point that it seemed like the expectations for me through 6th grade in Arizona weren’t any different than the expectations I had already met and exceeded in San Diego in 4th grade.

Shortly after I started at my first AZ school, I tested for gifted and talented and was found to be gifted. What that actually meant was that I tested really well. I had a higher reading level than my peers. I needed more of a challenge in my work–again, likely largely influenced by different standards coming in, and which I think I must’ve gotten, but truth be told, with a small staff in a small town, I don’t really remember getting that much extra attention or challenge to my assignments. I wasn’t a super genius needing to skip a bunch of grades and ready to do complex physics or whatever, but I was needing a little more because I could handle it.

Then I went to high school. I traveled about an hour each way every day because I needed to go to the bigger high school in the bigger town because they had the most honors and AP classes–a way of continuing that “gifted” education and receiving early college credit because of it. There, I ended up having a similar experience. When I graduated, I wasn’t valedictorian or salutatorian, but I was in the top percentile of my class and got to give a speech. It was… a high school graduation speech, alright.

My point, such as it is, is that I spent years working in a school system that kept telling me I was smart–or succeeding in a way my peers weren’t, needing resources that they didn’t–and then rewarding me for good performance. With the benefit of hindsight, sure, it probably wasn’t great that I was being told I was special and different and tying a lot of my self-worth to academic performance, but hey, that’s the American school system for ya!

The critical story from this time period I know I’ve told before. I think it was the summer between my junior and senior years of high school, so when I was really starting to look at colleges and get out applications. I was at San Diego Comic-Con and was at a party with former DC writer, editor, president and publisher, Paul Levitz (one of the people that in my childhood I had once told I would have his job someday). I was talking with Paul about my college plans because I knew that he did some teaching on the side and, well, I figured it’d be good to know how to move forward so I could get his job someday. And I told him that I had been looking at schools with strong creative writing programs and journalism programs and what few schools offered comics programs and he told me that his advice as a person who taught creative writing was you can’t be taught creativity. You can be taught how to refine your writing, and there are some programs that put the emphasis on focusing your skills and helping you improve your storytelling, but there are a lot of people who enter creative writing hoping it’ll foster their creativity, and you can’t teach an imagination. His advice was to pursue something that I would be able to write about–things that I could know and always refer back to as a basis for ideas. I decided to pursue journalism because I had some stories that–fingers crossed, might still get told someday–I thought knowing the real ins and outs would be helpful for. I also figured, journalism is about learning how to research and learning other people’s stories and how to tell them. It ended up being a good fit.

College Daze

It’s kinda funny. I’ve been in comics for 7 years now. Celebrated my 7th IDW anniversary in late August. Most of the people I know and interact with on a regular basis are comics creators, or other creators, artists, readers, fans, people in the community at large. But sometimes I get that shock of no matter how mainstream comics may seem, for a lot of folks, they’re still a novelty. Like when I got my haircut last and the stylist had no real idea what my job was. And without a doubt through my own doing, I had a reputation even through college as “comic guy” because both to people with a shared interest and people who barely knew me, that was the fact they knew about me.

College was probably the first time in years that I had made a full comic. And the ones I made were not very good. But, over my years there, I took a few classes that involved comics heavily (including a really amazing comics geography class that was examining comics as a tool of non-fiction storytelling) and in the course of those, made a couple little comics. Y’know, one or two page things as assignments, but something that I had to write and draw and letter all by myself. Having to do that made me really start to think about the tools of making comics. I had never stopped reading comics, I had never stopped thinking about comics, I had to read Understanding Comics and the other Scott McCloud books like 5 times for different classes, but I had so fully bought into being a writer that I hadn’t tried to make my own comics really in a long time.

I had a couple false starts as a writer. I had a series I was working on with my dad that ultimately didn’t go forward and my only regret about that is not having had the chance to work with my dad. I did a comic script as my honors thesis. I got a surprisingly good grade on it considering how weak I think it is. I have not chosen to revisit it because in hindsight, it was not a good script and was a pretty flawed premise.

But what I really got into in college was editing. In my journalism classes, and working on the Daily Wildcat, I got to spend some time learning editorial skills and in the trenches. And, as it turned out, for as much as I loved writing for myself, I also was pretty good at helping other people find their stories, find their angles, clean up and clarify their copy, check their facts, etc. It was also around that point–and around the point of my first *real* job in the home department at Dillards that I realized editorial also had the perks of regular paychecks and healthcare.

I didn’t focus on editorial in an official capacity. It’s not like I have a degree in journalism with an emphasis on editorial or anything, but I knew it was something I was increasingly interested in pursuing and really busted my chops to try to get good at it. For as difficult as it is to bust out an article in a daily paper because someone blew their deadline or turned in something unpublishable, it is actually far harder to adjust on the fly in comics because I can’t just write something and plug it in.

The other major influence on me and comics in college is, of course, it’s where I met and fell in love with Becca. When we first met, they liked comics, but had largely given up on that part of their ambitions. Like, they were a political science major that had danced around also doing theater because they loved acting and maybe wanted to be a politician and maybe wanted to be an actor and maybe wanted to be something else, but being an artist, much less a comic artist was not a thing they were really thinking. And now, that’s what they do and what they work on so much of the time and with me sometimes and y’know, I could not do what I do now without them in my corner and vice-versa, I don’t think.

My Real Secret to Success: A Broken Car

Those are the factors that really led me to comics. I grew up in it. I had connections. I learned about it myself and in school and throughout my life, and was rewarded for the work I put into learning about comics and learning everything else. I fell in love, and I fell in love with editing. And so I graduated with a journalism degree with a minor in gender and women’s studies and was ready to face the world… by briefly kind of illegally living in my friend’s back bedroom for a few months because I was unemployed and unemployable!

In the middle of the hot Arizona summer, I get a message from my friend Shannon Denton. He’s working on the Alan Tudyk webseries Con Man and they’re shooting the finale and need people for a fake comic convention and he’s heard Becca’s interested in acting. It’d be background stuff, but it could be a little something–a first step, first gig in LA. Plus, we’d get to see each other!

And so, 4th of July weekend, Becca and I drive out to LA for filming! Now, to backtrack (and forward and sideways) a little… I have not great luck with cars. My first car of my own was an old family car that was gifted to me and was rear ended only a few months into owning it. It was messed up–not actually undrivable, probably, but the extent of the damage was more than the rest of the car was worth, so it was deemed totalled. And because it was a car of little value, I took my little payout and bought another crappy car. It was fine for what it was. Except when it started giving me the check oil light. I took it in to get the oil changed and apparently brought it to the dumbest, worst mechanics in town. I say this because…

Back to LA. We’ve been there a couple of days, but the car’s starting to drive a little funny and make some funny sounds and the check oil light’s back on. So, we stop at a mechanic and say “hey, can you look at this? I just had it in the shop!” And the mechanic looks at it and does his whole thing and says that whoever looked at it last screwed me over. The cap to the oil tank was shattered, so it wouldn’t screw in properly and the car could no longer safely hold oil and the oil that had been in it had now gotten into all sorts of other parts of the engine and the engine would have to be replaced, which once again, would’ve been more than the value of the car.

Now, stepping back again for one second. We’re staying with our friend Henry Barajas while we’re in LA. And while I’m at Henry’s place, I see a job posting for an editor gig at IDW (I would later learn that it was to replace John Barber). I go through it and I’m not qualified at this point. But, Henry encourages me to apply, so ultimately he’s like making dinner and conversation with Becca while I sit at his kitchen table and fill out this application, certain I’m not going to get the job.

The mechanic sees the AZ plates and asks if we’re local or if we’re staying with anyone. I tell him that my mom lives in San Diego. He says super, that’s about as far as you can go. You cannot drive back to Arizona with this car, it will not make it there. And be careful if you’re driving this down to San Diego. Becca and I do it. We drive it down, park it in the driveway of my mom and stepdad’s place, and that’s where the car died and was eventually picked up and donated from. But through some pretty convenient timing, I hear back from IDW. I am right, I’m not qualified for the editor position. But they haven’t yet posted that they’re also looking for an editorial assistant–a ground-level opening. And if I can make it there, I can do an interview with Chris Ryall. So it was that my car dying set me up to be in San Diego and do the interview.

It went well. Chris and I knew each a little, from my dad’s time at IDW, though obviously very different with me as an adult rather than a kid. It went well, and I eventually went back to AZ and waited to hear back. I got to San Diego Comic-Con and very nervously approached the IDW booth one day and talked to Chris and he said I had it, just had to finish up the paperwork on their end, and within a month, I had signed the papers and started at IDW.

And now I’m here. I've been trained by amazing people and have worked with so many fabulous creators (and still have such a wishlist of people I'd like to work with one day). I spend 5 days a week (though honestly, sometimes it seems like more) doing editorial work, and trying to write on top of and between that. I’ve got a couple comic series under my belt and lots of stories I’d still like to tell. And I bust my ass every day to bring people comics. Being in editorial, it is a sometimes frustrating job. A job that does not get a lot of credit. And a very difficult job. But it’s my job, and the highs are the best thing in the world.

I still struggle. I think that’s evident, even in how I tell my story about whether I’m actually justified in being here and doing this and if I’m any good at it. I told a friend recently that I have an easier time inviting my peers to my wedding than asking them if they’d like to work on a silly little story with me because for some reason, it feels like that’s going to be a bother or they’re not going to treat me as a serious creator. But that’s my comics story and I expect there’ll be a lot more to come from me in the future.

Thanks for reading. Amended features below!

What I enjoyed this birthday: Birthday cards, gifts, art, and messages! People who bought my Kofi mystery bundles (last call)! People who subscribed to my Patreon (mystery bundles til Halloween at $10+, plus a Wreckers #1 script dissection coming this weekend)! People who sent me $$$ because it's my birthday because, boy, I need 'em (see Kofi link above...)! Blank Check (Podcast), Solve This Murder (Podcast) , Craig of the Creek (Cartoon), One Piece (Manga), Pokemon Violet (Video game), The Archive Undying by Emma Mieko Candon (Book), Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Links (Video game), The Traitors (TV show), Mothership (This funky space "tiki" bar in town! It's themed around having crashlanded on an alien planet, so like half the bar is what's left of your ship and the other half is like the natural cave formation and the weird irridescent plant life and stuff. It's really cool).

New Releases today (10/18/2023): No new books from me this week. :C But maybe spend the money you would've spent today on a mystery bundle or Patreon membership or something in my shop or something from Becca (remember, there's even more on Becca's Patreon and itch and other things accessible via their contact page)!

Or put your money to something good like the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, Doctors Without Borders, or UNRWA. It's hard because a lot of this money is anticipatory given the situation in Gaza (and the West Bank) and at time of writing, resources are being extremely restricted, if getting through at all. Or if you want to feel like you're having more immediate action, there're still plenty of ways to give for relief in Ukraine, which is also still under siege.

Or if money is a big ask, which, like, I get it, maybe you can give some time to something important. The Jewish Voice for Peace Action has made an easy to fill out form to write your representatives to encourage defunding and deescalating the Palestinan genocide. You can still submit your comments on "Generative AI" to the copyright office (they've actually extended the submission period). You can write to your reps to tell them to stop KOSA. You can get involved with your local library, or attend a legislative session of some sort, or otherwise take action in what you believe in because, again, things are bad right now and there is so much evil and injustice to stand up against, be it book bannings (and publishers giving in to extremists) or transphobia or worker exploitation or all of the above!

Announcements: It is my birthday. See above!

Pic of the Birthday: I will post actual birthday pictures when I have them, so this weekend's blog. In the meantime, final plug for my bundles!

Sonic the Hedgehog Analyzer, Issue #11: The Battle for Angel Island (Part 3)

Moving on to the next stage of the story (which at this point could be called Sonic Heroes 2), we are greeted with this amazing cover. I absolutely love how it shows Metal Sonic’s progression to Neo Metal Sonic and then Master Overlord.

We start out with Blaze realizing that Angel Island is in free fall and wondering if she had something to do with that, only to get saved by Amy and Tangle, who are both on an Egg Fleet battleship. I assume nobody briefed her on the fact that removing the Master Emerald could cause this.

Meanwhile, Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles are just trying to get avoid being crushed by Master Overlord. Sonic notes that at least he isn’t Super anymore, but that doesn’t really help their situation.

Knuckles calls Amy for support, hoping Burning Blaze is still active, but she relies Blaze’s message of not being able to transform due to the diminished power of the Sol Emeralds. Not to mention, since they have no access to the Chaos Emeralds, Super Sonic (and Super Shadow and Super Silver) are a no go too. Shadow refuses to abandon the fight, with Sonic telling him how he has a plan. Apparently, this plan involves them being captured by Master Overlord.

Uh, Sonic?

Sonic points out that all they have to do is to rip out the Master Emerald and Master Overlord is done for. Knuckles decides to focus on the Master Emerald, while Shadow agrees to work with Sonic on busting Master Overlord’s wings and driving him closer to the island.

Meanwhile, Tails and Vector are inside the battleship, with Tails directing it towards Master Overlord, firing at the robotic dragon.

Meanwhile, Knuckles glides towards the Master Emerald, calling Amy to deal with Master Overlord, while Sonic and Shadow tackle Master Overlord. Huh, last time they were in such situation (from what I saw), it was in Sonic Boom Season 2 Finale, where Boom!Sonic proposed a plan to attack Boom!Metal Sonic to Boom!Shadow, only for the latter to ram into him and attempt to attack Boom!Metal on his own. It didn’t go well for him.

Fortunately, unlike his Boom!Counterpart, Shadow here just follows Sonic’s lead.

We then switch scenes to Mr. Tinker being strapped to a table inside some kind of laboratory, with Rough and Tumble questioning their current boss on Mr. Tinker’s behavior. This is also where we meet our new antagonist, Dr. Starline.

So, my thoughts on Starline is that is the kind of villain who leaves an impression on you, as you will find out in the following Issues. I actually grew quite curious about him when I first read this story, wanting to know what he is up to.

Starline’s goal here is to return Mr. Tinker back to Dr. Eggman... by literally electrocuting him!!!

Hey, if there’s anyone who thinks that IDW had made Sonic soft and too child-friendly, here’s a newsflash for you - look at the panel above and tell me that Starline torturing Mr. Tinker isn’t disturbing at all. I dare you!

We then return back to the fight on Angel Island, focusing specifically on Sonic and Master Overlord, with Sonic deciding to tick the latter off by mentioning how Metal Sonic had called him his “loathsome copy”, but last time Sonic checked, hedgehogs couldn’t turn into dragons or were robots for that matter, or use the Master Emerald, or the fact that Sonic came first.

Master Overlord is, naturally, pissed off, calling himself a perfected Sonic, only to get shot in the face by Whisper, with Amy leading her team into battle. Awesome!

We then follow the team literally tearing Master Overlord apart, the latter being unable to do anything as he’s to big to even reach for the heroes, who are crawling all over him like ants... at least until he has enough, shaking everyone off.

Fortunately, Silver catches everyone with his psychokinesis, which is then followed by this epic shot of Tails ramming the battleship into Master Overlord.

Tails is either overjoyed he landed a direct hit... or in disbelief he did something like that. Meanwhile, Knuckles finally manages to dig out the Master Emerald, gliding towards Angel Island with the happiest/most smug grin I ever saw on him. I swear, I laughed for a solid minute when I saw that panel. Look at him, he’s so proud of himself!

After ramming the Master Emerald back into its place, Knuckles lets out a laugh of relief, with Angel Island finally being saved.

After landing on Angel Island, Sonic immediately runs over to Tails (I guess you could call it Big Brother Instinct) to check on him, with Tails being completely fine. They then check on Metal Sonic, who is pretty much KO-ed. He won’t be getting up soon.

Everyone is relieved that the fight is finally over, with Vector noting how the case is closed, Tangle hoping she could continue participating in these kinds of adventures, Silver and Blaze thanking Whisper for help and Shadow waving back at Rouge as he leaves, not wanting to stick around. As for how he’s going to leave Angel Island? I’m assuming he’ll just warp away.

Knuckles is just happy to be back on Angel Island, with the Master Emerald saved, and Sonic and Tails note how the world is finally safe.

We then immediately cut to the reason why they’re celebrating the safety of their world a bit too soon.

Scrunkore Media "Thread" 2023: Part 5

I got burnout and never got back into it so I'm hella simplifying it lol shit happens

the scrunko core has burned out, rebooting

50) Wendell & Wild (Movie, 2022)

A lovingly crafted stop-motion animated movie with some good old kid-friendly horror vibes and a punky attitude, even starring a pretty nice transmasc character that I'm super happy to see. It's a nice story with a good visual style and a lot of heart, and I think Key and Peele being involved is pretty funny honestly. [4★]

51) Murder by Numbers (Switch, 2020)

Decent enough Picross game with a basic detective narrative stringing it together that I'm not really a huge fan of, but it does its job and I appreciate the adorable robot as well as some of its representation. And no idea how they got the composer from Ace Attorney and Ghost Trick, lmao [3★]

52) Pokémon Picross (GBC, Unreleased)

Yeah, this was better than the 3DS one, it's just basic Picross that doesn't do much (only real mechanic it adds is being able to change the music) but that's still better than the shitty mobile game model. They really should have just released this, it was straight-up finished and I even got a cart that works on original hardware because I think that's neat. [3.5★]

53) Paper Mario: The Origami King (Switch, 2020)

Going to be killed for playing this as my first Paper Mario but who cares, this game is cool in spite of its awkward battle system (which DOES kinda suck). Just a fun adventure with typical quirky writing and some surprisingly powerful moments, plus an excellent soundtrack, I'm sure some of the earlier games are better but I did play this one and did enjoy it. [4★]

54/55) Knives Out/Glass Onion (Movies, 2019/2022)

Incredible pair of detective movies, both full of really engaging writing and directing work that keeps you invested and never stops being entertaining to watch, surely still really good on a rewatch too. They also really fuckin' hate rich people, especially the second one which is woke as hell and has one of my favourite endings in anything, so that's what some might call "based". I can't wait to see what Rian Johnson does for the third Benoit Blanc movie, which is apparently meant to be a 2024 release. [5★]

56) Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW Comics, 2018-Present)

These are some damn enjoyable comics, telling some fun and generally quite well-written stories set after the events of Sonic Forces with a cast of really cool characters. Honestly kind of ride or die for Tangle and Whisper, but original villains like Dr Starline are great to read too. Early highlight is definitely the Metal Virus arc, but the more recent stuff with Surge was excellent too. Safe to say the team behind these stories know their shit. [4.5★]

57) Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Movie, 2023)

They really did it, they went out of their way to make a bigger and better sequel to one of the greatest animated movies I've seen, and it's very possible that they succeeded... but we won't know until the second part comes out, which looks unfortunately unlikely to be any time soon because production sucked. Still, what we did get is yet another gorgeously animated spectacle with a cool storyline, everyone knows that. [4.5★]

58) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (Movie, 2023)

One of the only parts of the MCU that I cared about more or less concluded with this movie, and fuck it might be the best one in the trilogy. Rocket's harrowing backstory really hits out with that theme of some jerkass playing god, and the core adventure of the film is pretty engaging too, just as cool as ever. Plus it's now confirmed Vocaloid exists in the MCU lol [4.5★]

59) The Suicide Squad (Movie, 2021)

Another instance of James Gunn making an actual good superhero movie, this time making a good adaptation of something that previously had a bit of a shit one. I appreciate the kinda edgy nature of the titular squad that was handled solidly here, and their antics are honestly pretty funny. Fun action sequences too, and it's honestly really cool how much the movie thinks rats are awesome (they kind of are tbh). Peter Capaldi, the best version of Doctor Who, playing a mad scientist role is also just... really good. [4★]

60) Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (Movie, 2022)

Man fuck Disney, this is obviously the best version of the Pinocchio story and their attempt to overshadow it was lame as hell. I quite like the darker take on the story with themes of death and war around Italy's rise of fascism (Tom Kenny Mussolini is crazy btw), and of course the stop-motion animation is really quite excellent. Always love to see movies made in such a way. [4★]

61/62) Sonic and the Secret Rings/Black Knight (Games, 2007/2009)

Yeah, I get why the storybook duo of games have a bad reputation, because the motion control gimmicks kinda suck, but Secret Rings suffers from it far more than Black Knight, and that still has the cool ideas and solid writing combined with a great soundtrack (both games have this). Maybe the mission-based level structure isn't great, but there's some fun stuff to be found in these. Wish they were better though. [2.5★/3.5★]

This doesn't have much to do with the fic, I just wanted to share my thoughts with someone.

When Lou is taken to Draxxum, he is apathetic towards what might happen to him. It isn't until Draxxum tells him of his plans that Lou fights him. What I find interesting is that Lou didn't fight Draxxum to protect humanity, but to prevent Draxxum from raised the turtles as weapons, and that's because... Hamato Yoshi knows what it's like to be raised as a weapon.

Let's not fool ourselves, the Hamato clan in could be pretty screwed up. From the time they are children the Hamato are taught that their personal desires and lives are not more important than their duty to the world. And I have no doubt that Hamato Sho hammered those same values into his daughter and grandson. Yoshi had to watch his mother abandon her loved ones and literally walk to her death when he was just a little kid, only to grow up, train and be reminded every day that if the time came, he would have to do the same. It is not hard to believe that Yoshi may have felt dehumanized, that to his clan, he was not an individual, but a tool, a weapon.

Splinter has already shown that for him, the world is not more important than his family, when Draxxum demanded the last piece of armor, Splinter chose to give him the piece in exchange for his children, literally saying to April "Sorry, but they are my sons" showing a selfishness coming from love that I find quite interesting.

That Splinter is capable of condemning the world to protect his family makes me wonder what other extremes he would be capable of going to? I mean, does anyone remember Sliver? IDW Splinter?

( I'm planning a fanfic and I really wanted to break this down, about that, would you be interested in being my beta reader?)

This is the big thing that divides this Splinter from all the other Splinters. He's just their dad. He teases them and calls them by stupid childhood nicknames. Even when it comes to martial arts training, it seemed to start off as a strictly bonding/self-defense thing. He only gets into the ninja stuff when they ask for it.

I'm thinking about 2012 Splinter now. And as much as I love him, he trained his sons to be soldiers. Soldiers without a war-like, he's living in New York, he left his clan bullshit in Japan. He kept the boys completely hidden for the first fifteen years of their lives. He has no reason to assume the boys will ever need to fight off anything more dangerous than a mugger. There was no reason to raise them that way. He did it because that was What You Did, that was how he was raised and he didn't know any other way.

And on the subject of letting the world burn to save one person-I do think every Splinter would pick his sons if it was between them and the world. But if 2012 Splinter had to, say, pick between the turtles and Karai? I hate to say it, but it really felt like the turtles took a backseat to her once Splinter found out she was Miwa. And even with the turtles, he played favorites so hard. I've been watching bits of the 2012 series to refresh my memory on certain characters, and I just watched the episode Tiger Claw premieres in. One thing I noticed-he never asks where Donnie is. Tiger Claw is holding three of his sons hostage and one is just straight-up missing. The last time he saw Donnie, he was with his brothers. He has no way of knowing that Donnie is off wrangling Kraang worms with Casey and April. 2012 used a half-hour episode format, and there was plenty of transitional spots and light action sequences to slap in two sentences just to acknowledge that Splinter realizes that Donnie is gone. As it is, it's like he doesn't even notice. And you know that he does love Donnie too, but it really felt like 2012 Splinter loved Miwa more than the turtles. With Rise Splints, yeah you can tell that he has his favorites, but he doesn't necessarily prioritize one over the others. He might like one more, but he loves them equally.

Oh! Um...I'll be honest, I don't think I'd be a good beta reader. I've never played around with that (my bird doesn't count) and like I've said on other posts, it's really hit-or-miss what my brain feels like paying attention to on any given day. I'm really bad at just leaving comments, because it becomes A Thing in my head and I just put it off until I finally just acknowledge that I'm never going to do The Thing and close the tab. I'll definitely read it though. (for any of my repeat commenters who have their own fics-I have probably read it, I do like reading what you guys write, I'm just really terrible) I just don't think I'd be a good fit for that.

I mean he only saved the original comics from going under but go off I guess. It's not like he's working on all these projects all at once- the man is a freelancer and he's been getting these projects. Freelancers need to eat and pay the bills. And lastly it's not like he's going 'HAHA YESSS LET ME STICK MY FINGERS EVERYWHERE' Sega is approaching him to do these. Save yourself the unnecessary stress and just dont look at things you dislike

Hello :)

I know that it's not him who sneaks his way everywhere, thankfully he doesn't have that power. That's why I said "let him rest". I mean it, I think he's been working on Sonic for far too long and they've been using him too much. He wrote for Archie from 2006 to 2017, he's been the head writer for IDW since 2018, he's worked on the Encyclospeedia last year, he... somehow wrote the cutscenes in Origins, we don't know when he started working on Frontiers but it has to be recently, then there's Prime, then there's this new mobile game, people bitched about Pontaff when they worked on only 4 games, I can say that SEGA's giving Flynn too much material.

Save yourself the unnecessary stress and just dont look at things you dislike

I would love to. But precisely because he's everywhere, I can't just ignore him. I can't even enjoy Frontiers without seeing people praise his writing like he's the second coming of Jesus, when his writing so far has been perfectly average. I'm allowed to be irked at how this dude is getting so much praise for not doing anything special, because I know that it doesn't come from genuine appreciation for him, but for the irrational hatred against SEGA and anything that came from the 2010s.

I mean he only saved the original comics from going under but go off I guess.

So what? That was in 2006. After Penders, anyone could have helped Archie.

I'll admit something: I've read the Shattered arc, which was written in 2016 if I'm not mistaken, and I liked it! I liked the interactions between Knuckles and Amy, I thought it was very cute. I know he's not a complete disaster of a writer.

But I don't like his current work, I sure don't like his attitude as a writer, I don't want him literally everywhere in the series (except for the movies... for now), and I'm genuinely worried he might be close to a burn out, much like SEGA got rid of almost every composer to make room for Ohtani only and it shows.

Stress Relief

Notes: When you’re feeling unwell, just write some smut... or so they say. Just have an office quickie. As a treat. I sure enjoy writing Starscream getting his valve eaten out, huh.

Mentions of other parts of the series but works on its own.

Pairing: IDW Starscream x OC (gn, valveplug, 18+)

Word count: 1.5K

[AO3 link]

* * *

Useless.

The latest intel was just another item to cross out on a long list of dead ends. Lately, those seemed to be the only type of intel out there and as a result, they weren’t anywhere closer to figuring out who was behind the public address attack. Not to mention, since then enough time had passed for Stormchaser to start noticing the difference in the way people treated them, now when their relationship with Starscream was no longer just an addendum on the last page of their personal file.

They expected avoidance and disdain but they never stopped being bewildered by people who decided to approach them instead.

I have a proposition. He’ll listen to you, won’t he?

The audacity.

I’m his Conjunx, not his messenger, they said every time. Which in some cases made people think they can strike a deal with them. I know who’s behind the attack. I just need a favor.

Oh, so many favors and yet no useful leads.

“Pits,” they cursed after landing in Starscream’s office. It was empty.

The list of potential suspects wasn’t long – in a post-war world with limited supply of basically everything, there were very few groups and individuals in possession of resources needed for orchestrating such attack. Yet, they didn’t manage to narrow it down for weeks now and it bothered both Stormchaser and Starscream alike, the lack of progress weighting on their processors.

The door to the office slid open and just as if called, in walked their Conjunx, pace almost angry. When he noticed them, he stopped with a frown upon his face.

“Where were you?” his tone was as pleasant as his expression.

“I could ask you the same thing.”

“Intel investigation. Another dead end, waste of time,” he almost spat out, obviously annoyed with the situation. Except now it was Stormchaser who was frowning.

“And you went by yourself?”

“That’s the point, isn’t it?” he tapped his chest, “I have the device with me. If they attempted anything, I would’ve known. You on the other hand…”

Stormchaser barely managed to open their mouth before Starscream continued, his optics burning into their own, “We agreed we’ll look into every intel. What we didn’t agree on is you going to investigate on your own.”

“We didn’t agree on you doing the very same thing either,” they objected, “I’m barely in as much danger as you're in right now.”

“You are my Conjunx!” he rose his voice and put his servos on their shoulders, “Listen to me. We both knew the risks when we agreed on this plan. But in the situation as it is right now, having physical bodyguards does not help! You know this!”

He almost shook them to get his point across. Anger and tension were seeping through his demeanor but this time, he wasn’t worried about himself or his current masterplan. He was worried about their life.

“The difference is, unlike you, I’m protected now. But I have Wheeljack working on another device, with your frequency, down to every oscillation. That you,” his index finger poked the glass of their cockpit, “are going to wear at all times as well. No more intel investigation until it’s finished. This is not up for debate.”

Stormchaser returned his burning glare, “You better start using that direct line of subordinates of yours properly then.”

The last thing Stormchaser needed was scolding like they were back in the hangars during maneuvers. Starscream had a point. So did they. But the worst was, in the moment, both of them were too mad to admit the other was partially right.

The quarrel was interrupted by the sound of the comm.

“Boss, the guests for the meeting are here.”

“Take them to the conference room, Rattrap, I’ll be there in a minute!”

He angrily disconnected the call and groaned, holding his nose bridge, “We’ll finish this conversation later. As you can see, things never stop coming.”

It was useless. They were both overwhelmed and at this point, further discussion would only lead to more arguments. And neither of them needed that right now.

“You said in a minute, right?”

“Look, I’m not discu-“

Starscream didn’t finish his sentence because Stormchaser grabbed him by the waist and sat him down on the office desk with a loud thud.

“What are you-“ he didn’t finish the second time either because they hungrily attacked his lips while their servos lost no time and immediately reached for his inner thighs, spreading his legs apart so they could stand flush against him. Their fingertips then slid even lower to rub his interface panel.

“Releasing the tension,” they said in a low voice when their lips parted, “Open up.”

“We don’t have time for this now,” he exvented with anger still in his voice but slid the valve panel open anyway, red biolights pulsing welcomingly. Stormchaser looked him into disapproving optics.

“Leave that to me.”

Without losing any time, they lowered themselves between his thighs, tip of the glossa immediately on his anterior node, stroking the sensitive bundle of mesh. Starscream’s engines picked up as he squirmed, humming a notch higher.

When in charge, Stormchaser preferred to be gentle with their lover. Giving him all the attention in the right places and taking their sweet time with every touch and caress. They loved watching him unravel, hearing all the sounds of pleasure he couldn’t stop from leaving his vocalizer, slowly becoming undone under their tender servos. In the end, what mattered to Stormchaser was their Conjunx feeling like the most important and loved person in the universe.

But right now, there was no time for such gentleness. There was a tight knot of stress and agitation to untie – right now, they were going to devour his valve whole and they were on a time limit.

Starscream kept quiet when their glossa pressed flat against his entrance – Rattrap could walk in any minute and they well remembered the last time they got interrupted in the middle of something. Back then it was Stormchaser who had to keep their sounds in check in such compromising position but oh, how the tables have turned.

They didn’t stall any longer – the tip of their glossa circled the rim of glowing biolights a few times and without grace or glory, they dove into the wetness with urgent hunger.

A small moan escaped Starscream’s vocalizer when they repeatedly brushed against a series of nodes on his internal walls. The moment was fast and intense. The sounds their glossa and his valve made upon contact were scandalous, lubricants mixing in an overflowing pool of quick pleasure. As they worked him to the edge, their fingertips were digging behind transformation seams on his inner thighs, making Starscream recline on the desk behind him, back starting to arch.

When Stormchaser’s glossa slipped out and their lips encapsulated the anterior node, he couldn’t help but buck his hips to meet them. Stormchaser’s servos immediately left his thighs to hold him down.

“I’m not done yet,” they whispered against the sensitive array as they dove back in, sucking on the soft mesh outside while their glossa wriggled and twisted against his inner nodes. A long drag of the tip all the way from inside out sent Starscream’s back arching completely.

“Storm, I can’t-“ the exvent sounded almost like a whimper and with sudden intensity, his valve clenched in a pulsing overload.

Warm transfluid pooled all around Stormchaser’s glossa, working him through his high as he mewled on his table, head thrown off the opposite edge. When the mesh spasms cooled down, slowly, Stormchaser pulled out, a small trail of the bright fluid dripping down their chin.

Starscream looked at them from the desk, flustered and exventing heavily. Oh, did they love that look on him.

“I don’t have time to clean this up.”

“Did I tell you to get up yet?”

With a long drag of the glossa, they collected generous amount of the bright liquid, which made him collapse back once again, now hissing almost in pain from the post-overload sensitivity. He whined when they pushed just half an inch inside to lick out the dripping transfluid, smile across Stormchaser’s face as they finished.

“The rest will be up to you, close up.”

Starscream exvented deeply when his Conjunx finally stood up from inbetween his legs, leaning on the table over his still splayed form.

“No time,” was all he managed to say.

“The Chosen One better keep his legs crossed, then,” Stormchaser teased when hovering over him, his engines still running high. They leaned down for a sloppy kiss, making Starscream taste the sweetness of his overload in the process, which he eagerly accepted. When they parted, Stormchaser licked their lips.

“Time’s up, my Lord. The guests are waiting.”

They stepped back, reaching their servos out to him, pulling him up to get back on his feet.

Just as they both wiped the last bits of evidence of the encounter from their lips, Rattrap peeked his head through the door.

“Boss, not to rush but the guests are getting impatient.”

Starscream shot Stormchaser a look, “We’ll discuss this later tonight.”

They watched him leave the office with that almost unnoticeable wobble of his legs.

But it worked. The knots were successfully untied and tension was released. At least for a little while.

Stormchaser smiled to themselves.

“I’m sure we will.”

Whirl didn't wait for a response, instead, he opened his panel and his spike depressurized fairly quickly this was to be expected after all, since he was being a needy bastard at the moment.

"Alright, do you know what this is?" Whirl asked.

"Yes, it's a spike, Mr. Ratchet told me about the cyberbirds and cyberbees." Rose responded.

'Good, at least she knows what a spike is, nice to know I'm not dealing with a Tailgate 2.0.,' Whirl thought to himself 'Although she refers to Ratchet as Mr. Ratchet like a kid, gross.' Whirl adds, and he waits for Rose to do something.

"Well, are ya going to stand there, or are ya gonna fuck me until I pass out?" Whirl asked, impatient as ever.

Rose looked back up. "U-Um... Um... What do I do? Ratchet told me a lot about it, so I am quite familiar. But... I need assistance." Rose admits. Whirl let out a groan at this.

He has to take control or his heat will never be satisfied. So with a pained grunt, he gets up. "W-Whirl what are you do-" Rose starts.

"Get on the berth."

"What?"

"Are ya deaf? I said get on the berth."

"O-Okay." Rose got on the berth and opened her panel so she wouldn't make Whirl mad.

"Spread your legs."

Rose spreads her legs and she saw Whirl opened his panel and his spike came out. He slowly places his spike in her valve shuddering with pleasure as his fans act up.

He retracts his spike and rubbed it a bit, some overload coming out, pre-transfluid exited his spike. He mumbled and shoved his spike in once more. He shuddered and started to thrust in and out of Rose. Picking up pace.

His processor was becoming fuzzy as he was becoming light headed, his fans were trying their damn near best to keep up with him. He really needs to give them a raise.

Rose on the other servo was quite intrigued in this feeling, she felt like she was special like she can do anything.

Whirl continued to pound into her, grabbing her arms and bounding them with his claws, he was desperately humping inside of Rose trying to get the burning feeling to disappear completely, he hated being unsatisfied.

But seeing as this was a new thing for him to engage in, he finally could relieve this aching feeling, although it being with the Liasion, little mx. perfect who could do no wrong.

But no worries, what's a little manipulation anyways?

idw rant below

I just want to emphasize here that I don't hate Starline, Surge or Kit. They add a little nuance to the Sonic universe and have potential. Especially Starline! A mobian that admires and is constantly inspired by Eggman. It's different. It's nice.

What isn't nice is how Starline's character solely relies on Eggman's absolute and utter incompetence. It downplays the main antagonist of the franchise for ... what? I don't know.

1.) Eggman not making a vaccine for the Metal Virus. And giving up on trying to control it.

Why, why, why, why. Why. Was this a thing. His strategy of "not getting hit" is so out of place here. It's a virus. They rapidly evolve and change. Even if it didn't get hit. Who's to say it couldn't mutate.

Furthermore. It would've been a little more compelling if be actually did make the vaccine, and used it to goad its victims on his side. Maybe it wouldn't be perfect. Maybe at best it just grants conciousness again. But it would have been way more compelling to put this divide in the world than to have him just. Stop?

3.) Getting OMEGA back and then immediately losing him in the same issue.

This part after the Metal Virus was really frustrating. Bc it fell into the same trap Forces did - making Sonic's friend incompetent / weaker when Sonic arrives. It's a struggle, but it's clear this fight with Eggman and Omega has them in the upper hand. At least. Until Sonic magically arrives and Eggman just. Backs out???? For no reason????

Yes. Omega gets free. But my dude. You still have a giant fucking robot. I don't. I just -

3.) The reality breaking tower. The ad infinitum maze.

I feeeeeeel like something like this should be a big deal. Not something used for 3 issues and tossed away for a bunch of GET A LOAD OF THIS jokes. Eggman literally states it was created to hold Sonic until he burns out and dies. Mmmmm

I just don't feel like anything Eggman does has actually had impact. Substance. It's all potentially interesting ideas that get thrown out the window way too fast. But I feel like that's a lot of things in IDW.

I'm not saying Eggman has to constantly win every fight. in fact, I think the most compelling stuff is when he loses despite having an advantage. Because he is Icarus. He flies too close to the sun; his tenacity is both his greatest strength and greatest weakness.

Wouldn't you guys be slightly more invested in Starline and Eggman being equally competent villains with a fierce rivalry because they're very similar but just different enough that it causes tension? The pair constantly trying to outdo the other while leaving Sonic & co. To pick up the scraps of their fighting because of their pettiness? Sonic & co. having to worry about two threats who want very different things with the world and having to approach both of them slightly differently to stop them? I don't know, man. Just. Something. Anything.

And for what it's worth. I do enjoy IDW. I like Starline. I like Surge and Kit. They aren't bad characters. But I dont think the IDW writers know exactly how to handle them. And like. Kicking Eggman to the dirt to make the other three look better isn't the great writing they think it is.

I dont know, man. He's the main bad guy of the franchise. It's fine to add more villains, but at least give him some respect. IDW Eggman is the equivalent of a child throwing a fit and demanding to be respected.

#I am at work so this is very in coherent. But I am frustrated.#I miss sa1 and sa2 eggman a lot

An OC question but one I think would be neat.

The Metal Virus is a story in the IDW Sonic comics. If you get infected, you eventually turn into a Zombot, wanting to spread the virus to other organic beings. This virus nearly took over the planet if it wasn’t for Sonic. And on Twitter there was an OC Question about who would survive it. So that got me questioning: who among my cast would survive this infection. So I’m going to break it down into certain categories and highlight one while mentioning others who could be in said tier. So let’s see.

100% Immune - Astral Blaze

Being part phoenix, you got the whole “death and rebirth” cycle meaning he would most likely just recover from it even if he is infected. But the real thing is the fire. Extreme heat can destroy most viruses (unlike other cases where it helps because of the heat affecting the body not the virus) and Astral Blaze’s heat can burn even dragons who dip in magma for fun. Any Zombot who tries for him would end up being flambeed.

Other Examples: Robots. Inorganic beings. The Undertaker.

Can survive as long as they’re careful - Apple Bloom

The Ring can protect the user from danger automatically. But eventually that ring has to be recharged. If she isn’t careful with her ring usage, one mistake can make her into the next Zombot. Positive note, the Ring will be useless since a Zombot doesn’t have a lot of imagination to use such a thing. Bad note, that barrier they were making is gone.

Other Examples: High Magic Users. Other Lanterns. People not on the planet.

Can fight off infection - Rainbow Dash

Sonic showed that if you have super speed, you can fend it off for a while. And while you can argue Rainbow Dash isn’t as fast as Sonic, I can see her speed being able to fight it off like Sonic’s. Of course, being a flier has its ups and downs. She won’t have many chances to accidentally touch something organic, thus spreading it in the skies. Downside, if she does, basically death from above.

Other Examples: Other Speedsters.

Infected, but otherwise fine - Kari

Someone from my other universe, Kari, I like to imagine if she ever gets infected her personality (or anger in this case) is so strong she would retain her normal personality despite being a zombie. So logically, if she becomes a Zombot I would believe she would still be the angry female she is just in a new coat of liquid metal. Great to help out with crowd control, but not so much helping survivors.

Other Examples: Akuma the Hedgehog.

Infected - The Apples

Unlike the Zombie virus, the Metal Virus infects all organic life. That includes animals and plants. The Apple Acres is a frikkin huge land of organic plants and small critters. If any Apple is in the middle of that during an outbreak, I doubt they would realize what is happening before it is too late. Their only chance is to not be in that Apple Orchard when it happens.

Other Examples: Zecora. Fluttershy. First Responders before public knowledge.

Praying they get infected - Grogar

You know what's worse than a Virus that can turn anything organic into robotic zombies? Someone wanting to control said virus for their own actions. If Grogar were to get his hands on this and modify it to his liking, it may be a lot worse than how Eggman handled it in IDW. Like imagine them not only having an infectious touch, but having the knowledge to use said power to their advantage. For Equestria’s sake, Grogar better become a victim.

Other Examples: Robotnik. HIM. Darkseid.

What Tier would your characters be under?

this is an odd question that maybe requires a bit of change of perspective BUT ANYWAYS:

i kinda view jazz getting together with prowl in a sorta "i can fix him" way and perhaps actually succeeding (we do see him calling prowl out on his bullshit and jazz being the only one that prowl actually tries to defend himself to, whereas most of the time prowl's more "i know better than you so shut up and follow along/get over it")

how do you think tarantulas would view jazz helping prowl to become a "better person"? would he get jealous? would he view it as jazz actually ruining prowl? would he do anything about it (e.i. murder)? any thoughts?

Hmmm. You know, I can see it. Wayyyy back when I talked about IDW Jazz and Prowl and how Jazz feels about Prowl here, in a way that I think potentially fits this. Point 4 on that post. Anyway.

We're back to 'Prowl and Tarantulas having uncomfortable parallels' here, because you know how Prowl is seemingly partly frustrated with Rewind not so much because he's married to Prowl's ex, but because he sees Rewind's influence as repressing some essential part of Chromedome that makes him like Prowl? Mmm. I think Tarantulas would take it much less personally because again, he is not good at engaging with most people on that level. But an obstacle, certainly. A threat, sure. Tarantulas is very certain that the reason Prowl will always come back if he just presses the right levers is because he is very sure that Prowl can't actually change. He'll try and fail. If Jazz seemed to be meaningfully threatening that status quo, that's a destabilizing factor in Tarantulas' entire worldview.

I simply don't think Tarantulas would be able to do shit about it directly. IDW Jazz is competent, it's one of his defining features, and he's absolutely no fool, he's not getting caught out. You can't even nab him on ego; he's not prone to particular hubris. Maybe Tarantulas would just double down on trying to make Prowl 'accept' nothing is ever going to change for good, just like always, and make him crash-and-burn the whole thing with Jazz. Prowl strikes me as the weak link there. He's not difficult to persuade back into old, and especially self-destructive habits, if you know where his motivations need pressing. And Tarantulas wants Prowl to accept it willingly. There would be a victory in getting Prowl to explicitly turn away, I think.

#..........not convinced it wouldn't work tbh prowl's a fucking idiot #but jazz would try!

Hey it’s the anon with those sad ideas again :)

Firstly, LASERBEAK IS FFFR WHOLESOME MUCH LOVE 💖💖

Second- haha sadge

I often scheme/write with a friend in discord, and we gave Soundwave quite a bit of sad, because we love some sad moments followed by happy ones. Here are some of our hcs/ideas:

1. Vv protective of his family

Oh you know where this is going. Soundwave likely isn’t too close to very many people- however, it’s a different story with his family. He’s extremely close to them, and fiercely protective. If one of them is hurt- all hell is bound to break loose. He’ll likely rush the injured bby to KO, then sit there and watch him work, ask what he can do to help. If he’s asked to leave/needs to leave for work, he may just stand outside and refuse to move any further.. or he’ll actively seek revenge. Soundwave could probably become blinded by his anger- and so, may not attack as he usually would. A lack of forethought could easily lead to his injury.

1.5. Panic (kind of ties into 2)

If something happens to where Soundwave is separated from his minicons, he may suffer from some pretty severe worry over them. My friend and I have this wholesome joke where Ravage, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, etc. act as therapy ‘cons. Maybe they are therapy ‘cons and they help other stressed out mecha. But back on the sadge- if he’s ever taken prisoner (like in TFP with the autobots), he may not stop moving and trying to break free (thus causing something like rope burn, or worse), or frantically calling out for his minicons. If for whatever reason they’re hurt and also trapped- or separated and trapped- that could very well break him. The sheer act of crying could be enough to get his freedom as well- I mean, if you’re Optimus, and this stone cold guy who doesn’t change his expression when you punch him just starts CRYING- yeah, could be interesting.

2. Nightmares

This relates more to the storyline I have with my friend, but maybe you can adjust it to your universe as well. For us, we have a crossover of IDW/TFP, a whole universe crash blah blah blah— anyways, Soundwave in TFP lost his minicons in the war (he does reunite with them after the universe crash though) and so, he has been plagued by nightmares of the losses. Soundwave often refuses to sleep, working to an extremely unhealthy extent. When he does finally rest, he find a protected space- somewhere with plenty of exits and cameras. He stands at one of the stations and just.. sleeps upright. He claims it’s safer that way, after all, if an attacker approaches, one of the security cameras will notify him— and he’ll be able to react quickly, not having to get up from a laying position. This, of course, results in little physical rest, and definitely has some negative health impacts.

3. There are two pictures of Ravage and Soundwave that are really sad but I don’t know how to attach them ooAAA

Also I really dislike tarn why u do that in idw sobs you were cool until rav rav came into play

EOGNEIBWDIWBFNOEGNEJDBWIBF Okay, so basically...you and your friend are freakin' geniuses... And you've gotten me addicted to drawing Soundwave with deep emotions, so I just accidentally made a few comics...

I don't know why but I just love the idea that he just initiates his inner child mode when one of his babies is hurt and just feels so helpless....

This one got kinda sloppy, but basically beserk dad mode where multiple Autobots have to hold him back even though he's fully restrained, because the sheer dad rage is too strong. And angry signing.

AND THIS was just a hilarious mental image that I had to visualize.

I didn't draw anything for the rest of it, but I still agree!!! I also stuck to just Laserbeak during these comics, but it totally extends to Ravage and the twins when he gets them in our crazy Wildbreak AU... EXCELLENT SADGE, thank you!!!

Too Many Conventions!

Hello!

Turns out, I'm a liar. If you read last week's blog, I ended it with a whole little plan for the next couple of weeks, completely having forgotten that I'm about to enter the most convention heavy stretch I have all year! This is my last "free" weekend until April pretty much!

A week from today, 2/25, I'll be at the Arizona Comic Book Arts Festival! If you're anywhere near the Phoenix area and want to see me to buy comics or bring your own to get them signed, this is the place to do it! I'll be bringing a pretty chunk of my stock, including stuff from Sonic, Godzilla, and pretty much what's left of my Transformers/Hasbro stock! Maybe this one, maybe in a couple more events like this, I'm going to be running out of Transformers vs. Terminator and Wreckers, so get 'em now while you can! Becca will be there too and you can get us both to sign our little mini-comic, Jimmy Squarefoot! We'll also be bringing copies of a zine we made explaining the issues with AI! And Becca will have a bunch of other stuff at their own table!

There are a bunch of other really great people attending including Elizabeth Brei, Danny Djeljosevic, Mitch Gerads, Steve Rude, John Layman, Henry Barajas, Jay Fotos, Jeff Mariotte, Marcy Rockwell, John Yurcaba, Andrew MacLean, Alexis Zirrit, Meredith McClaren, James Owen, Ryan Cody, Tone Rodriguez, Cecil Castellucci, and so many more! So come on out and see us!

Then, Becca got into WaifuExpo the following weekend, 3/3-3/5! It's going to be a cool little adult (18+) focused con in the Dallas-Fort Worth area! Becca's going to be in the artist's alley and I'm going to be there as their booth babe. I will NOT be bringing any of my stuff, only Becca is tabling (*tho if you are planning to attend and get ahold of me ahead of time, I might be able to pack a few things to give in person). Becca's working very hard on preparation and will have some exclusive stuff for adults debuting there!

Similarly, lots of cool guests including some very notable cosplayers and voice actors and other artists! It also seems like it's going to be a very activity heavy con if that's your jam!

It's also our first time in the DFW area, so if you have recommendations, those would be appreciated!

Then, if everything goes right with the first two cons and I'm still feeling groovy, I am tentatively planning on going up to TFCon LA on 3/10. Again, this is health and finances permitting after two other back-to-back shows, and I am not coming as anything other than an attendee, but if you catch me at Jack Lawrence's table and want me to sign your Wreckers or Alex Milne's table and want me to sign your TF/Terminator or whatever, I'm happy to do so!

And finally, I expect to be attending WonderCon 2023, March 24-26! Again, same deal as TFCon--my availability will depend a little bit on not having gotten sick/burned out from the other shows with only one weekend of "downtime" and I'm going mostly as an attendee, rather than tabling individually or with IDW, but this is the one con where I'll be most open for meetings.

After that, I have to assume that I'll hibernate until the summer! And somewhere around there I'll get back to what I mistakenly proposed last week and do another "Ask Me (Almost) Anything". In the meantime, new posts are going to be coming to the blog, but they'll be a little irregular because they'll be coming in-between shows!

Thanks for rolling with that change and hope to see you soon!

What I enjoyed this week: Blank Check (Podcast), Honkai Impact (Video game--I managed to get the new Kiana and Mei back-to-back, so I'm pretty happy!), House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski (Book), Poker Face (TV show), Romantic Killer (Anime), Warioware Inc (Video Game), The Fablemans (Movie--I cried 3 times!), Kaguya-Sama: Love is War-The First Kiss That Never Ends (Movie), Valentine's Day, Snack vs. Chef (TV show), Chainsaw Man (Manga), rearranging my desk (I had to dust the... 150 [estimate] little hunks of plastic on my desk and decided to rearrange them), Becca's first Twitch stream (more on that below)!

New Releases this week (2/15/2023): Off week for my books

New releases next week (2/22/2023): Also an off week for my books!

Announcements: Wait, this is still a section? With all that other stuff I've already been promoting? Well... Yeah!

Social Media - I am still primarily on Twitter because that's still where I know the most people and the format I like the best, unfortunately, but you can find me on all my socials here as I continue to try to move away from that site that is less and less functional each day! And, hey, sometimes it still works to reach people like this update on Sonic (it is good and fine and in many languages and countries).

Aradia Beat - The past few weeks, I've been plugging this cool Magical Girl Anthology Magazine that Becca's part of! This morning, the campaign closed and they had just exceeded their second stretch goal! Thanks anyone here who contributed and if you missed out, well... you missed out! No, but give Aradia Collective a follow and they'll be able to tell ya if there'll be any other ways of getting it in the future!

More Magical Girls - Our pals Elizabeth Brei & Danny Djeljosevic and a bunch of their friends are getting close to their goal on their Kickstarter for Sweet Little Resistance, which you should check out! And you can tell them you're psyched for it at AZCAF!

Becca is a busy beean - Somewhere in all this con prep and the many shows we're attending, Becca's also managing regular Patreon updates (and this month, any new sign-ups will have their first pledge go to The Brown Building here in San Diego). They're also open for commissions. And they're now streaming Wednesdays & Saturdays (including tonight, but not when we'll be at shows) on Twitch! I'll usually be there too, moderating the chat and making jokes, playing the soundboard or whatever. You can check out their first stream playing Heartbreak High on their page now! I think the plan is Wednesdays will be games and Saturdays will be art, so come check it out and hang!

Legislative Tracking - Legislators are doubling down on attempting to pass anti-trans bills. Fortunately, some of them are not managing to move forward. Unfortunately, the bad guys keep trying. Here is a legislative tracker for you to keep an eye on and hopefully if anything is happening locally to you (and on the federal level), you're able to reach out to your reps and can tell them to knock that shit off.

Pic of the Week: A very dumb little promo I made for all of our upcoming stuff (or... well, a lot of it) to the theme of Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania, in theaters now! (NOTE: Made when Aradia Beat was still funding, it's over now, sorry!)
