[Video Description: Portrait video of Atticus dressed in cosplay, specifically Dracula from Hylics and Biker from Hotline Miami, as it shows off Cosgears Cosplay Planner App. Screen recordings of the app are also often used, showing off certain sections as they are brought up. Lo-fi music plays in the background. /End VD.]
Oh yeah I got hash tag sponsored to share about this app I use alot :0 Gettin paid to share this but tis all my own words and thoughts and experiences.
Aforementioned link since Tumblr doesnt work like Insta and I primarily made this for Insta lmao
Transcript and additional description details of the video under the cut!
Cosplayers! What are your methods for tracking and planning your cosplays? Notes app? Notebook? Spreadsheet? Your brain? (How do you manage?) If I may propose another tool, Cosgear's cosplay planner!
[Dracula cosplay pops up, poses to emphasize curiosity and then demonstrates examples.]
This website and app have been in development for around a year, and I've been using it just as long. Its honestly my favorite way to organize my processes. You've got a section for your basics, like the character, series, budget, and deadline, and of course a place to put your tasks like what to buy and what to make. I love that the tasks can be organized by what part of the cosplay it pertains to, like weapon or helmet or pants, whatever you want! Theres also a nifty view for just the things you need to buy, ideal for shopping trips so your list is all in one place.
[Dracula scrolling the app, some screen recordings as well.]
I've been using this app to help me work on Biker from Hotline Miami. Being able to go step by step through each piece has been so satisfying, and I can store progress photos in the app as evidence of my work if I were to ever do a cosplay contest! (Which I might be we'll see)
[Teaser of Biker cosplay from the back, shows off specifically stuff with Biker in app.]
Another fun thing you can do with those progress photos? Theres a built-in social media feed where you can post your progress, including sharing your techniques and materials! Progress photos on Instagram can be hit or miss for engagement, but in a place built around progress, it makes sense to have, and I've found some real neat work!
[Scrolls personal work in progress posts.]
On your profile, each cosplay has a page, where again you can add materials and techniques, as well as share links and even your shopping list. Good cosplayers don't gatekeep!
[Cosplay page for Biker, shows mentioned features.]
Or if you don't want to mess with any of that social media stuff? Totally fine, it's all optional. Cosplays can be made private, the Planner is your landing page, and hype can be hidden.
[Scroll profile and cosplays, shows hype hide setting.]
Final thing, this tool is constantly being updated and worked on. There's ocasional bugs and maybe theres things you'd like to see that aren't already around. There's a discord server for that! The Cosgear team is super open to suggestions and because of people like me, the community reference library requires sources for its images.
[More cosplay scrolling, show off references library for Link from Legend of Zelda.]
And I didn't even get to talk about the reference libaray! There's so many resources built into the app to try and make your process as streamlined and convenient as possible. Why not give it a shot? I'll have a link in my bio, go give it a look!
[Scrolls posts again, final shot is Dracula cosplay waving phone with cosplay plans at the camera.]

7. is the fastest?
of the mortals, scruggs has 40ft of movement and can move his speed again as a bonus action towards an enemy. however of all the characters, latrowe has 60ft move and 60ft hover fly but he is. kind of a ghost so. he cheats

waylon is 95 and davey is 6 and juniper is a baby!!
10. is the hottest?
scruggs <33333 & im correct
11. is the biggest flirt, or has had the most romantic stuff going on? 
brandi is by far the biggest flirt but she does not have as much romantic stuff going on as she would like <333
12. is the best singer?
formerly waylon :o) i think hawk is a good singer and you will learn this over his cold dead body
13. is the best dancer?
formal dances, waylon. for just Goin For It, sarah
14. lies the most?
oh brandi for sure
15. lies the least?
cat :( it makes her tummy hurt

probably tied scruggs and lizzie but scruggs has more small ones and lizzie has more big ones
17. has killed the most?
brandi <33333 he is An Assassin

scruggs <3 that's what he's there for
26. takes the most risks?
brandi,,, not for healthy reasons
27. is the most careful?
a lot of the characters are careful in very specific ways but just like. generally. probably cat <3 she's a very careful person
28. is the most competitive?
lizzie for sure
29. is the most girlboss?
help. brandi
30. is the biggest jock?
probably lizzie. scruggs is like i am just Built This Way
31. has the most theatre kid energy?
julian :o)
32. is the most likely to be a twitch streamer?
sarah <3 she exclusively plays farming sims and her fanbase is incredibly wholesome. she frequently goes on tangents about like. you are stronger and smarter than you think and you need to believe in yourself and you'll start seeing progress if you try but you need to let people in to help look after you too- MY CHICKEN IS LOOSE!!
33. is the most likely to be an instagram influencer?
kelsey is simply so so popular on gothic lolita instagram
34. would have the most fun playing a ttrpg?
okay so here's what i imagine. fake saloon vignette. stay with me. hawk is the dm. he is running a module that quickly goes off the rails. imagine his dm style is extremely anthony burch. sarah is having a great time but has literally no idea how this game works at all, is trying to make friends with every npc including the villains and also unionize every workplace ("they dont even have dental" ass). scruggs is playing a bard and his response to everything is "i play little song about it what happens" and is mostly there to egg sarah on. lizzie is so frustrated the entire time and keeps only trying to use her character abilities because she doesn't understand how roleplay works until the second they need to like. intimidate a guard or something and her character steps in and is like okay listen here-- and makes everyone at the table a little nauseous at the threats she's coming up with. cat is so so so so scared the whole time and keeps getting too shy to talk to npcs and just ends up attacking them but being soooo upset about it. and then after the game she's like hawk you did such a wonderful job that was so impressive. and hawk is like you people are all insane this is never happening again
35. is the funniest?
personally i think sarah i do just fully turn my brain off when i say things as her
36. is the most empathetic?
sarah!!!
37. takes the least shit?
probably sarah again and not even in a tough guy way but completely in a if youre mad at them Even A Little theyre gonna climb in your lap and be like ARE YOU MAD AT ME @n@ WHY ARE YOU MAD AT ME??? she simply doesnt let things escalate Ever you Will be talking about it Right Now Immediately. but like also if she hears people like. gossiping at market they have no issues being like HI WANT TO SAY THAT LOUDER <333 and scaring them off
38. is the best with kids?
a good chunk of the characters are good with kids actually!!! doesn't say anything about me. cat, sarah, scruggs, and brandi are all like ough babbies <33 and waylon was good with. kelsey specifically but also theyre a weird little freak so it worked
39. is the best with animals?
probably hawk! both in a caretaking way and also humane hunting way. he really misses his childhood dog
40. is the best at making Hard Decisions?
probably. lizzie.
41. is the best leader?
gonna throw a curveball and say annalise
42. is the worst leader?
cat. sorry bbygirl i love you she would make herself sick trying to tell someone what to do
43. would you most like to be friends with?
probably sarah <3 i think we would get along
44. is the most like you?
hawk :(
45. is the least like you? 
simply a very hard question when you do put a little of yourself into every npc. of the ones we've met so far probably lizzie. she is simply so so hard for me to play
46. would you most like to trade places with?
horrible question. scruggs probably. has his own house and has an adoptive family and a boyfriend(?) and a job where he doesnt have to work too hard and is starting to make some nice friends. also magical transition would be pretty dope
47. would you least like to trade places with?
mmm. brandi <33
48. do you consider the most sterotypical/classic example of their class?
BAD QUESTION FOR ME SPECIFICALLY. i think baby cleric cat makes the most one to one sense?
49. is or was your favorite to roleplay?
HMMMMM. i think sarah. simply. no filter. they just Go. also latrowe though he doesn't have much screentime because he is just a very placid coyote who has no godly idea what to do with maeve and it's very very funny 2 me
50. is or was your favorite to play in combat?
well i've only played brandi in combat so far and my ass got so so kicked but i have learned my lesson and annalise wont be so easy. of the characters on the table i simply really want lizzie to wreck some shit. smites my beloved

Happy Birthday Dork
Tumblr media
Yep! Today's my birthday! This gal right here is turning 16! (Now time to change my age in all my bios💀💀)
And i decided to draw these two gals. Now of yall weren't following me back in 2020 on insta, then yeah, you have no context to who these two are
The blond one is well, Cake, my oc/persona, and the ginger one is Brooke, an oc thag belongs to @/ molzysketch on Instagram. I wont go into full detail, but we basically ship these two. We made them during the fall of danplan, Brooke was supposed to be Ann for molzy's pirate au. A group chat was made to make theories of what would happen on the next part of the au, but the next day the fall happened. After the fall we revamped them as ocs tho, and everyone in the group made their own ocs and we role played with them
I'll add the version with no text under the cut, plus bonus info and ramblings boyt my art :>
Tumblr media
This all are kinda redesigns of them really. Brooke was redesigned by her own creator molzy of course, but i worked on the colors by the end 😌
On another note tho! To make this drawing an even better birthday gift to myself, in the middle of doing this i realized how similar it was to an old drawing of these 2
This one was from July 2020, it was the last time i did a proper drawing of them in their pirate self
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But honestly, looking back the old drawing i did of them, god am i happy with my progress. You can see they actually grew up too, the old one looks more soft, childish and now they seem to have grown up! It's more mature, has more personality to it, to the characters!
I'll keep it short, but basically, I'm happy with how my art and the characters grew. They actually feel like pirates, and Cake feels like how i wanted them to feel, and Brooke now actually seems like Brooke and not a revamp of Ann. Which props to Molly for that!
Also, i tried out a new shading technique here, which i love! But hate it just as much, bc of how many layers i had to use, and how slow it gets when you leave or come back to the drawing 💀
Also really time consuming, but it's worth it bc it looks epic. And honestly it's way more fun, with how free i am with it and messy i can get with it
And yeah, the similarities between this snd the 2020 one, it was PURE coincidence. I started to work on this mostly testing out a technique i saw on a reels and it turned out great, the bodies, didn't know who to use it with. After a while decided to use Brooke and Cake, was gonna draw Brooke holding cake, but the body better fit Cake so i did them instead. And only when i was sketching Cake out did i realise it
I miss these gals, and i wish to work with them more. Hell i actually am re working on Cake's story now. I plan on maybe changing their name to Cory, tho I'm yet to fully decide
Tho idk how the og crew's story is now, but honestly, it's alr i can still have fun with it XP

Hi.Hello!
Welcome to my little corner of the internet, my name is Ciara! I wanted to introduce myself and let you get to know me before we start this wonderful friendship. I am 27 years old. I am a Pennsylvania resident but I will always be a Texas girl at heart. Jesus follower, Coffee lover, Salt & Pepper Shaker collector, Swiftie, Virgo, Huflepuff. I love being creative, so I’ve been trying to find a crafty hobby and currently I’m hyper fixated on making beaded bracelets and the *plan* is to make other jewelry as well. Supernatural and Gilmore Girls are my comfort shows.. not really sure why that’s important but I felt like I needed to tell you lol. My boyfriend, Philip, and I have been together for 3 years and together, we have 2 beautiful girls. His 8 year old, my sweet bonus baby and our 1 year old, they are the light of my life. When I became a mom to Olivia (1) I realized that I was put on this Earth to raise both of these girls up to be world changers. Then I realized that I couldn’t do that living the way I was living or thinking the way I was thinking or if I didn’t change my perspective on things. I don’t know when it happened but I’ve become this grumpy old hag. I used to be fun and wild and lived as if I didn’t have a care in the world. I had big main character energy. Now, I worry about everything. There is always a “What if?” And nothing anyone does, not even myself, is ever good enough for me so then, I just end up even more grumpy and nothing ever changes (can I use emojis on my blog? Is that allowed? Idk.. but 🙃). Now, I don’t usually “bare all” on the internet but I figured this might be the best way to actually get my shit together and get the motivation to do the things I need to do. It actually is already making me feel like the main character already. It almost makes me want to go undercover and blog like gossip girl…. Xoxo. Okay, okay.. focus. About 9 months postpartum, I was diagnosed with PP Depression & Anxiety and was put on medication. This led me to go see a general practitioner and I received a Hypothyroid diagnosis on top of it. I already knew my thyroid wasn’t functionally correctly, I just never did anything about it before I got the “official” word. So now, I’m on a self-led health journey to find out how I can heal my body from the inside, out and I’m looking forward to documenting my progress. I have Scale & Non-Scale Victories and I know that my worth doesn’t not equal that number on the scale. I do weigh myself though so I can gauge how the thyroid medication is working but I don’t get hung up on the number. I’m excited to share my life journey with you and I’m grateful that you’ve stuck around this long so far. Be sure to follow me on Instagram (my tag is in my bio) love ya.

WhatsApp Bio for Students
DND, it’s study time.
My study is my worship.
Pass Hogye… Nacho BC.
Facebook And WhatsApp close and Book opens.
Never be a busy signal on the Prayer line.
To study in a university is to have a sole purpose
Study to show yourself qualified for God’s use.
You can’t study the darkness by flooding it with light.
Study hard, for the well, is deep, and our brains are shallow.
My study strategy is 15 minutes of study and 3 hours break.
If you are given an open-book exam, you will forget your book.
The secret of success is to do the common things uncommonly well.
I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.
When you are a good person You don’t lose people they lose you.
You Never loved me, You were just bored.
I gave the wrong people The right pieces of me.
Never take someone's feelings as a joke, You never know how bad it feels.
Group study is the best way, to ensure that none of your friends have studied either.
Examinations are when on the question, when will you be free? You are looking at the calendar instead of the clock.
Every instructor assumes that you have nothing else to do except study for that instructor’s course.
Never let anybody come so close to your heart that it is painful to forget them.
How to solve maths: 1. Write down the problem. 2. Cry.
80% of the exam is always based on one lecture that you missed and one topic that you didn’t prepare.
You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have.
If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up.

You have to be odd to be number one
When you look at me, what do you see?
Life is full of surprises
Let life surprise you

Meaningful WhatsApp Bio
Start each day with a grateful heart
Forget the person, But not the lesson
Notice everything but be quiet
Never make a permanent decision on temporary feelings
Silence is the most powerful scream
Always hope but never expect
Challenges are what make life interesting
Everybody can see a laughing face, but nobody can see a broken heart
There’s bravery in being soft
Hate is a strong word, think before you use it
Neither happy nor sad but missing something in life.
Temporary people impart permanent lessons.
A smiling face need not necessarily mean a smiling heart.
Start every day with gratefulness.
God might forgive, but I don’t.
Time doesn’t always heal. You heal yourself.
Even if I am hurt, I smile.
Trust that everything happens for a reason.
Challenges make life interesting.
Time is a healer and a killer.
Everyone has a different journey
Temporary people teach you permanent lessons.
Real is rare while fake is everywhere.

तू जिसे आप कहता है वो मुझे बाप कहता है।

how to actually meet your writing goals: the guide we all need
Intro
hey everyone! today's post is inspired by all the super fun struggles i've been having during nanowrimo. i still don't know if i'll win or not... i guess we'll see. anyway, hopefully these tips can help you actually meet your goals for progressing in your writing <3
Be realistic
this might be a bit hypocritical for me to say, considering that i am attempting to write a f*cking novel during exam season, but it is very important thing to keep in mind.
when you're sitting down to plan your goals, think realistically about the week/month/year ahead of you. what are your commitments? what other things will you have to put time into? are there any other activities that you will have to prioritize?
based on all of these things, you need to choose a word count goal that makes sense and is something you can actually achieve in that time frame. there's a difference between challenging yourself a healthy amount and setting goals that you'll never be able to achieve.
Plan, plan, plan
yeah yeah, i'm aware that this is my advice for everything writing related but, what can i say? it's the key to staying on top of writing. you have to figure out how you're going to divide up the word count so that you hit the goal, while still staying realistic and not pushing yourself too hard.
there are loads of websites you can use for this, such as nanowrimo.com and pacemaker.press - or, you can just do the math yourself if you really want.
this step also involves deciding which days you're going to write more and less - for example, i always set more words to be written on Fridays and Saturdays, since i can stay up late those nights without worrying about school.
Staying motivated
i know, i know. "we all want to stay motivated, Rayne, but it's not that easy." i'm aware of that, don't worry lmao.
i have a whole post on how to stay motivated, but here's the general gist. the main way to keep yourself motivated is to have an internal motivating factor. this means something that is not at all influenced by external factors. for example, an internal desire to become a published author.
however, it's useful to have external factors that can help amp up your willpower to write on days where you might be a bit more tired. for example, watching writing videos/content of authors, pinterest boards, playlists, aesthetics and more!
How to handle an "off day"
this is what can really throw you off from writing. you have one day where you feel like you can't write anything... and then another... and then another. suddenly, you're twenty thousand words behind where you should be and-
but that doesn't have to be the case! having off days is okay, and honestly? it's kind of necessary. but the main point is not to let that off day throw off your stride.
if you have a day where you can't write (not enough time, too tired, burnt out, etc), try planning out your schedule for the rest of the month/whatever time frame so that you still hit your goal. ex, maybe you're going to write 1.2k every day instead of just 1k, for the rest of the month. replanning your schedule can make having an off day feel much less overwhelming.

Tumblr media
So I’m testing some new things out with this so you guys will have to tell me what you think!
I’ve also come to the conclusion that while Timothee isn’t my favorte celebrity I like writing for him.
Also, I have no idea how movie premieres work so this is really just a guess and could be completely wrong.
Word Count - 1609
Beta Read - by google docs
Tumblr media
Navigating through the crowded streets of New York was getting to be something you were good at. Moving there had definitely been a culture shock but after getting used to it, it was pretty nice. But now, you needed to get coffee and work on your French for one of your classes.
Ordering and setting yourself up, you started the assigned video and prayed it would make sense and you wouldn’t have to add another hour or two of study to your already full schedule. But as fate would have it, it sounded like gibberish.
Restarting the video to try again, you were pulled out of your studies by a burning sensation going down your arm. Pulling out your headphones you looked down at your arm to brown soaking into the sleeve.
“I’m so sorry!” The guy in front of you looked familiar but due to his mask it took a moment for it to sink in. Timothee Chalamet. He was an actor, but that wasn’t important. What was important? He knew french.
“That’s not important. Do you have any free time right now? I know you know french and I need to learn it and this makes no sense and it’s due in two hours.” You definitely caught him off guard, but he checked his phone.
“I have an hour.” He pulled a chair over and you handed him one of your earbuds. For the next hour he helped you, he was a lot better than the video your teacher had given you.
“Here,” he handed you a slip of paper. “If you need more help just text me and I’ll help when I can.”
“Thank you! With your help, I’ll at least pass.” He laughed and you said your goodbyes before he went on his way and you worked on finishing the rest of your homework.
While you worked, you didn’t notice the girls in the corner watching you with their phones out and slightly pointed at you.
The next day, you almost regretted asking Timothee for help when you woke up to your phone being blown up by friends and social media. There were multiple pictures of you and Timothee as well as multiple dating theories. One of the notifications stood out, Timothee had messaged you on Instagram.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You didn’t really talk until your next assignment came and you texted him about it. Together you decided to meet at one of the libraries. This time you knew that you would be spending time with a celebrity and people would notice so you made sure you at least looked alive. That way if there were pictures posted online at least you wouldn’t look like too much of a mess. Apparently Timothee noticed.
“You look nice.”
“Well, the chances of pictures being taken are pretty big so I at least want to look alive and not like I just rolled out of bed.” He snorted and you chatted for a few minutes before getting to work.
This time it was a bigger assignment so it took a few hours instead of one. But it didn’t seem to be so long, it felt like time had flown by and it was finished immediately. Timothee was interesting, you two could have fun but when needed it could be serious.
So when you split ways and Timothee started texting you an hour later, you didn’t feel like he was trying anything. It just felt like you were talking to a friend you had known for years. Then, you had plans to hang out two days later when he was free. The plan was to got to a park and play with kids and act like a kid, simply to feel like you didn’t have so much on your plate and could just have fun for an afternoon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The interview he asked you about, was before you were meeting to go to a park and act like you were children, not adults who had jobs and college. But that was the plan, and exactly what you did.
The two of you ended up chasing each other until all the other kids at the park wanted to play with the two of you. The parents watched the two of you close when you played with them but that was to be expected.
Timothee was good with kids. Not just good, amazing. All the little girls were absolutely in love with him while all the boys were amazed by how strong he was.
However, as most people know. Kids have no filter, therefore they ask any question that comes to their brain. Hence the 30 different times you had to tell them that you weren’t dating and you were just friends having fun. Some of the parents seemed to think so too, one of them basically told you.
“Thank you for playing with Maggie, she had a blast and she’ll probably sleep well tonight.” The lady looked relieved at the thought. “You and your boyfriend would be good with kids if you decide to have them.”
“He’s not my boyfriend. We just met a month ago and we just came here to have some fun.” She nodded but you could tell she didn’t believe you. Trying to ignore what she said you turned and went back to playing with the kids.
It was after two hours of playing different games, the two of you decided that you were out of energy. Timothee offered getting a meal and you agreed. And that’s how you ended up in a Mcdonalds.
For the next few months, you would meet up for assignments or just to hang out. The press had a hayday with it but after a while it was easy to ignore and then it became more fun to do funny poses every once in a while.
Then he had to go work on a movie so your contact was left to text, phone calls, and facetime. It worked but it wasn’t as good as meeting in person. He still helped with your french until the semester was over part way through his movie.
“Timmy!!! I passed!!!” You held up your phone to the camera on your computer so he could see through his screen. It was amazing and you owed it all to him. Last semester you had barely passed and that had been with 4 times the amount of studying then you had done today. Timothee was godsent.
“Yes! You did it!” You celebrated for a little bit before he got serious. “Y/n, since you passed I know what we can do to celebrate. When this is over, you should come as my plus one to the movie premiere.”
“The movie premiere?!” He nodded, you could see how nervous he was in his eyes. “I have one question.” He nodded, waiting for you to ask. “What am I supposed to wear.” He snorted.
“I’ll talk with my manager and see what he says.” So that was the plan. You kept talking with him, but now it was less about school and more for the fun of it.
When the movie premiere came close Timothee got an answer to your question. Though he almost seemed hesitant to tell you.
“You just have to go get measured and go to a few fittings. The brand making my suit is making you a matching dress.” You would be matching with Timothee sure, you were going as his plus one, or date depending on who you ask. But brand? This dress sounded like it was going to cost more than your college tuition.
“Ok, when and where do I need to go?” He gave you his manager’s private number so you talk straight with him and get all the details. Little did you know, that that was the beginning of the storm.
Somehow it got out that you were going with Timothee and even getting matching outfits. Soon, your phone was being blown up by people trying to get details and even shows asking you to come on and talk about it. Timothee’s manager called you and offered to be your manager until this all calmed down, mostly because this affected Timothee but the offer was still appreciated and accepted.
He texted you a link and told you to post it in all of your public social media bios titled ‘Manager’s contact’. While it wasn’t something most celebrities did, you had just been dragged into this. It would start as a base line until things were figured out.
Through this mess, Timothee kept apologizing even when you said it was ok and it wasn’t the worst thing that could happen. You thought the manager would be enough but then you ended up sharing Timothee’s booking agent too. Apparently everyone wanted to talk with you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A few days after agreeing, you learned that the episode would be realised a week before the premiere, but hopefully it would go well. You were also told that Timothee would be doing the interview with you which made you feel a lot better.
Timothee came back the day before you had to fly to California so you were going to let him take the day to rest because frankly it was a lot, but he showed up at your door with his suitcase. He hadn’t even gone home.
“Timmy! What are you doing he-” He cut you off.
“Can I kiss you?” What? That wasn’t what you expected. While you stood there staring at him completely confused, he started shifting around a little bit and playing with his hands.
“Yeah.” That’s all it took for him to get his confidence back.
Tumblr media
Request:
Hey, I really love your writing.
Can I request something with Thimothée Chalamet? Maybe like they meet at a coffee shop and he accidentally spills his coffee on her and then they become friends and they progressively fall in love with each other? If you can’t I understand.
Thank you 🤍

Broken Promises | Shawn Mendes
Tumblr media
Summary: You and Shawn made a promise to never fall in love with each other. Some promises can’t be kept. [friends to lovers] [non au] [little angst] 
Word Count: 2k
|Masterlist In Bio|
Sometimes life doesn't go the way it's planned. Sometimes you don't get that promotion at work, sometimes you spill coffee on your way to class, and sometimes you break a promise you made a decade ago to your best friend.
When you were thirteen years old you and Shawn made a pact, a promise that you would never fall in love with each other. At the time it made sense. You were both teenagers just getting started in the world of dating. The two of you had been friends since you were five years old and agreed at thirteen you'd be just that. Friends. So one hot summer day in July you and Shawn signed your handwritten promises to each other and buried them under the old oak tree in his backyard. The ritual was ridiculous and juvenile but held so much meaning then.
Fast forward to the present. Shawn is making his way in the music world, working with a studio in Toronto towards a big break. You're interning at an animal hospital while studying to be a veterinary assistant. Your lives couldn't be more different but you still make time for each other every single week, because that's what friends do. You know he is going to make it big one day, that you're going to lose him in the blink of an eye and that hurts to think about. But what hurts more is the reason why. You've broken your promise and fallen for him, hard, and losing him to a crazy world beyond your comprehension is more than losing just a friend. It's losing the only person you've ever truly loved.
You can't pinpoint the moment when your feelings changed toward Shawn. Maybe they had always been there but you repressed them but tonight is going to change everything.
Halloween. You and Shawn attend a party thrown by some friends. The theme is fashion throughout the decades. Of course that means people show up as everything from hippies to grunge rockstars. You and Shawn decide to do an eighties theme. You go with work out clothes, crazy print leggings, crop top with a tank top underneath, leg warmers and a sweatband with your hair all teased up. Shawn...well he went all out. Headband, ripped cut off jeans, color blocked windbreaker, tube socks in an old pair of k-swiss white tennis shoes. He is a sight to be seen.
The party is great, everyone has a lot of fun and gets wasted, and that is precisely where your troubles begin to bloom. You and Shawn had taken an Uber to the party, knowing you would both be drinking. The whole night you stayed close to Shawn, not wanting to lose him since he was the one paying for the ride home, but also because you really don't like some of the guys there.
It's not until after midnight and you're stumbling out of the party, arm around Shawn, that you realize something is wrong. You sit him down on the curb and he holds his head in his hands, clearly not okay, as you suspected.
"Hey," you rub his back and he groans. "You doing alright?"
"No."
"What's wrong?" You sit down and he grabs your hand. Not an unfamiliar move but definitely not a normal one. "You were so happy earlier."
"My ex is here."
"Oh." You sigh softly and remain quiet.
His ex girlfriend Tessa really fucked him up. She was an Instagram girl trying to be a model. You know she was set up with Shawn for the clout, for both of them as they make their way in the game industry. But things got serious and they actually became an item for about nine months, well, it seemed that way. Then it all came tumbling down. She started ghosting him, standing him up for dates. Shawn didn't know what he did wrong, and truthfully he didn't do anything. Tessa found another guy, someone with more followers and a much bigger public view. A better victim. Shawn found out when he saw them together on the front page of a tabloid, and that really sent him into a spiral. Seeing her tonight was bad news.
"I couldn't even talk to her." He squeezes your hand. "I just want to know why. Why didn't she just break up with me? Lie, say I wasn't the one or something. Why did she just...just abandon me?"
"Shawn, she didn't love you. I know that's hard to hear but it's true. She never cared about you and you cared about her too much." You clench your jaw and you're glad he's not looking at you. It's difficult to remain calm when talking about Tessa. You hate her for everything she did to Shawn. "She is a horrible person."
"But-"
You lay your hand on his shoulder. "Shawn stop. I know tonight was hard but you have to let her go. You're not defined by her, or by anyone but yourself. It's been months, don't let her ruin all your progress."
"You're right." He drops his head against his knees. "God...I should have never made that promise."
"What promise?"
"Nothing, never mind." He looks over and you can see his eyes are red in the light from the nearby lamp post. "Do you wanna come to my place?"
"Of course. I love staying at your place. My neighbor still has that yippy dog that keeps me up."
Shawn cracks a little smile and stands, dragging you up with him. "Thanks for being here tonight."
"I wouldn't rather be anywhere else." You wrap your arms around him and he presses his face into your hair, clinging tight. Your heart swells, tears burning your eyes. You want to tell him the truth, how you've fallen in love with him and he doesn't have to worry about Tessa or the next person who might hurt him. You want to make him feel loved and whole again but you can't because if he doesn't feel the same, it's all over.
_____________________
The Uber drops you off at Shawn's place in downtown Toronto and you get him up to his apartment with a little more effort than you thought you'd need. He is drunker than you initially thought and he's got jelly legs apparently.
"Just stay there okay?" You murmur as you prop the giant man against the back wall of the elevator. "You're killing me."
"I'm sorry." Shawn says quietly. "I have octopus legs."
You stifle a laugh. "Oh yeah? I didn't notice."
"Yeah...they're sleeping."
"Uh huh." You bite your lip to repress a smile. He's ridiculous.
The doors open Shawn's floor and you get him out. He hands over his keys and you get him inside the apartment. It's a mess. There is shit everywhere and you have to maneuver him delicately around guitar cases, a spotlight stand, two amps and a box of old records just to get to the couch.
"When did you become a pig?" You grunt as you deposit him on his huge white sofa. "This place is ridiculous."
"I've been working."
"Really?" You look over the sea of instruments and their equipment. "Because I have no idea how you can focus in here."
"I can't." He lays his head back and you sit on the edge of the coffee table that's littered with tea mugs and water bottles. "My head is goop."
"Goop?" You lift his feet up onto your lap and pull off his shoes. "Why do you have goop brain?"
Shawn rolls his head, an attempt at shaking it back and forth it would seem.
"You don't know why?"
"No...well yes."
"Uh huh?"
He slumps over onto the arm rest and stares at you. "It's a girl."
Your heart sinks. Of course it's a girl. "Yeah? Tell me about her." You say reluctantly as you place his shoes under the coffee table. You know if you don't act interested he will find it fishy. "Why does she make you have goop brain?"
Shawn closes his eyes and smiles. "I can't explain it. She just makes me feel like I'm invincible, but I can't focus when she's around lately."
"Uh huh."
"I've been seeing her for a while now. Well, sort of. It's complicated."
You get up and go to the kitchen a few feet away to grab some water for him. Funny. He has never mentioned a girl before now. As far as you knew Tessa was his last interest.
"Wanna know the worst part?" Shawn calls out and you look over. "She doesn't even know what she does to me."
"What?" You toss a water in his lap before sitting down across from him in the bend of the couch. "She doesn't know she makes you goopy?"
He shakes his head. "I think it's been so long she thinks it's normal."
"How long have you been seeing her?"
"Years."
Your eyes go wide. "Years? Who the fuck are you seeing Shawn? Why haven't you said anything before now? Are you losing your mind?"
Shawn laughs, for real belly laughs as if you just told the best joke he's heard in his life. Frankly you're annoyed. How dare he laugh in your face while speaking in riddles and secrets. "You're so dense!"
"Excuse me?!"
"It's you! You're the girl!"
"I'm the...oh." Your stomach goes cold and sick with nerves and you are simultaneously relieved and panicked. "Wait...so I make you have goop brain? Why?"
"Because I'm in love with you." Shawn swallows hard and stares at the ceiling, head back on the cushions. "I broke our promise and I fell for you. It's so cliche and cheesy, falling in love with your best friend, but I did and it's killing me."
"Shawn."
"And I'm so sorry if this changes everything but I can't hold it back any more and-"
"Shawn!"
"What?"
You bump his foot with yours. "Look at me."
Shawn reluctantly lifts his head and looks at you. He's such a mess. "I fucked up didn't I?"
"No, we both did."
"But you didn't...oh...oh!" A grin spreads across his face and he gets up, half standing as he slides over to be next to you. "You fell too?"
"Real hard." You play with his hand and he flexes his fingers over yours. "I can't remember when, but I did and I've been fighting it for years."
Shawn leans in and bumps his nose against your jaw. "We shouldn't have made that silly pact. I'm pretty sure we were always meant to be together."
"Absolutely."
"Can I kiss you now? I've always wondered what it would be like."
You cup his jaw and his eyes find yours. "One kiss, and then you have to go to sleep. You're very drunk and you stink like cinnamon whiskey."
"Just one," he mutters, lips brushing yours.
"Just one." You tilt up just a bit and his lips press flush to yours. It's innocent and simple but so overdue.
Shawn smiles against your lips and surges forward, pushing you back but never breaking the kiss. He squishes you into the couch as he lays on top of you and strokes your hair back as he kisses endlessly.
"I said only one." You mutter and he pulls back just a little bit. "What's all this?"
"It is one." He strokes his finger down your nose and traces your lips. "You didn't say how long."
You run a hand through his hair and he drops his head to your shoulder. "You're a punk."
"Nuh uh."
You roll your eyes and relax, hand still in his hair. Minutes tick by and you're sure he's asleep by the slow rise and fall of his chest. It feels so right. "Hey."
"Mmm?"
"I'm glad we didn't wait any longer." You say softly, flexing your fingers against his scalp. "I love you."
He is quiet for a moment, face buried in your shoulder. "I love you too, more than anything." He lets out a heavy breath. "Yeah, more than anything."

a bio for my xiaolinsona! she’s a work in progress so i’m bound to come back and change it. trivia and more in depth information is under the readmore :)
continued trivia:
she’d show up somewhere near the start of season 4
she’s used a LOT for slapstick. in fact she’s mostly a comic relief character
she’s guided mainly by emotions, is right brain oriented, and is a hands-on learner
there is a running gag where she frequently has bandaids on her fingers, hands, arms, or anywhere really
she’s a massive funk junkie. LOVES disco. she’s also a great dancer
when she comes up with xiaolin showdowns, sometimes she’ll base it off of fun recreational activities or things that seem harmlessly mundane, like mini golf..... tic tac toe.....dance-off...... rock paper scissors..... the showdowns themselves obviously end up being high-stakes and lethal as they always are, except they’re based off of goofy premises
she’s probably musically accented by grunge that��s slightly funky
when it’s funny, she occasionally will use huge words or make jarringly philosophical statements, eg patrick star’s “the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma” cut to footage of milk spilling
shes a lot like charlie kelly. in general. any charlie moment is just. Her. she’s a wild card and screams every line and huffs glue and tries to get the honey out of a hornets nest outside of jacks house because she thinks hornets make honey and she likes ghouls and she genocides the rats in his basement and sleeps ass to ass with him and is illiterate
she likes to do arts and crafts but they almost always come out as abominations. she’ll occasionally borrow some of jack’s tools to construct her latest atrocity, and she’ll refer to them by a wrong/made up name while she’s at it. “the hacksaw duey”, “the electric hole puncher,” ”the automatic pizza cutter”, etc. yes the projects and the bandaids have a direct cause and effect relationship. please refer to this video (and this channel in general)
youtube
imagine her sitting at a table and just doing this in jack’s lair... this video alone can be used to sum up so much of her. the technique. the bandaids. the blatantly wrong information that’s said with such conviction. the dark turn towards the end of the video. “superfluous protrusion.” the way it ends
continued trivia pt. 2, taken from my instagram
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(i’ll get into this more further down the post)
Tumblr media
fighting style because this is xiaolin showdown:
she has a very nimble, disorienting style of combat. using pokemon stats as an analogy, her highest would be speed by far, followed by attack, with her lowest stats being defense and special attack. this combined with her unrelenting nature makes her an excellent distraction and a general nuisance, but she doesn’t fare well in prolonged head to head battle.
favorite shen gong wu: 
monkey staff, mikado arms, fancy feet, neptune helmet, hoduko mouse, woozy shooter (on herself), tongue of saiping, longi kite, indigo pyramid (on jack (cause it’s funny))
*the shen gong wu she’s most skilled with in battle are ones that trip up her opponents and cause status ailments. kinda like a prankster
backstory/analysis:
at her core, she’s a jolly, optimistic, humorous person, but her unruly, isolating childhood put a blow on her psyche. much like jack spicer, she’s been virtually alone her entire life - she was rejected by peers and adult figures alike since earliest childhood, and her home life was turbulent at best.
to ease the pain, at some point, she took on resenting and judging those around her as a means to cope. she has a holden caulfield-esque defense mechanism in play where if everybody sucks for this reason, or that reason, or those reasons, then she has justification for detaching herself from others, and she can derive her only source of self esteem from being better than them. this hurts far less than the devastating truth that she cannot connect with people on account of feeling so worthless and estranged from other human beings that she could never have the chance to be cared about by anyone. deep down, she’s in desperate, thrashing need of support and genuine human connection, and she has a warped perception of how she can achieve that.
she’s taken up evil as a hobby because it nurtures her desire to be destructive and, again, just like jack spicer, she engages in it as a way to feel seen. all press is good press, and the best way to make the headline is to cause some damage. what sets her apart from him in this regard, though, is that she takes all of her pain out on her enemies (in this case, the xiaolin monks) because she can’t stand how well off they are - instead, on the basis of their acceptance of one another, she sees them as goody two-shoes phonies who ought to be knocked down a peg. while evil to jack is both a means of getting much needed attention and a convoluted way of spending time with friends, to sid it’s a way to vent frustrations and a way to, well... still garner attention, but also spend time with a friend, except the friend is jack.
the other half of the reason she partakes in petty villainy is that it’s just... fun. she only got wrapped up in all this because she’d been restlessly putzing around somewhere remote, found a neat doohicky she planned on keeping, and when one thing led to another she wound up in a xiaolin showdown against jack. experiencing the chaos unfold revealed a golden opportunity she couldn’t pass up, so she asked jack to let her come with, debuting their partnership (i talk about this in further detail at the end of the post). goofing off and doing evil with him is so much fun to her! it makes her feel alive, a sensation and state of mind she never could fully achieve before.
noteworthy relationships:
jack: 
they have a team rocket thing going on. not in terms of their interpersonal dynamic, but rather their role in the story, how much of a threat they pose as, their schemes, and even their overall attitude are reminiscent of the iconic duo; they’re petty, recurring villains with hearts of gold who aren’t above occasionally siding with the good guys.
even though they both are on the same tier of comic relief and general foolishness, the metaphor i like to draw is that jack is the left brain and sid is the right brain.
their personalities have such chemistry and they’re both so goofy that they effortlessly sync up. everyone thinks it’s REALLY annoying
they’re best friends! they actually care very deeply for one another, even if they might have funny ways of showing it. they may be evil, but they’re mutually the only and closest friend the other has ever had, and with that carries a lot of weight. think of it - the first person you meet who hasn’t been nothing but awful to you likes you and wants to be around you. What a concept
while their relationship is platonic, there are several gags implying a romantic element, even though nothing is ever outright stated. kisses on the cheek, bashfulness, other characters making fun of them (“where’s your DUMB little girlfriend?” “..........she’s not DUMB!!!!!”), domestic references (“am i sleeping on the couch”)..... it’s left ambiguous because it’s hetbait plain and simple. somebody asks them what they even are and they say Partners In Crime wym. jack asks sid What Are We and she fist pumps the flat of her own chest twice, throws a peace sign and says We’re Bros
their nicknames for each other include but are not limited to “jackass, jacky-boy, jack-o-lantern, smarty pants, wiggles, spack jicer, spack, mr spack, spackle”, and “shortstack, pipsqueak, sid the kid, champ, funky monkey, foxy (in a funny way, he’ll say it like Whatcha Up To Foxy ? while she’s like making a mess doing an arts & crafts abomination or just vibing bein her weird lil self....  it comes from a place of playful sarcasm and affection) (champ, funky monkey, and foxy are courtesy of @currentlyfallingthroughspace)
to piggyback off of the left brain vs. right brain metaphor, “heart vs. brain is how they think, right brain vs. left brain is how they act, and two halves of a heart represents their natural dispositions” is how my aforementioned friend put it. they both have a lot of heart and are ooey gooey on the inside, but the difference is that sid can grasp the intricacies of emotional/psychological matters while jack can’t (actually knowing how to EXPRESS this is another topic). it’s in the same way that jack can effectively plan ahead, use logical reasoning, and know where to go and how to get there, but sid is shabby in this department. “one is aware but doesn’t address it until it’s too late, and one can’t see it and doesn’t ask until it’s too late.”  
another feature of potential conflict in all incarnations of them is the juxtaposition of sid actually being more down to earth than jack in the grand scheme of things. jack has the potential to go completely overboard, and whether or not he demonstrates the ability to catch himself on the event horizon will ascertain the outcome.
deep down, neither of them are truly evil, and they bring this out in each other as they ultimately contribute to the redemption of one another. how this actually happens is a lot rockier. sid has the intuition and self awareness to become increasingly cognizant of the fact that she engages in schemes as a way to bond with her friend, and, over time, she’s able to recognize that she’s simply been acting out, and she consequently softens up over time - but jack is much denser in this regard. he doesn’t consciously pick up on the same things she does and still believes that she’s drinking the koolaid as much as he is. the crucial dissonance in what matters most that had been incubating under the weight of things left unsaid emerges in a major falling out that challenges the nature of their entire dynamic and respective moral codes. i had a lot of help from the same friend with the following series of events and it’s really something that ought to be gone into detail on its own post, but a whirlwind brief summary is that jack becomes desperate from losing over and over so he comes up with this sinister plan that’s just too far, sid tells him to stop, they get into a nasty fight, sid leaves and makes it clear she’s not coming back, she goes to the xiaolin dragons for help, jack goes on an evil rampage but also loses his grip and has this mental breakdown because he lost the one person who’s ever cared about him (or so he thought), sid has the same brutal separation pangs but it doesn’t change the fact that jack is still doing what he’s doing, sid gets a firsthand view of a fight breaking out between the monks while she’s working with them and has a moment of clarity when she observes how they resolve it in such a healthy way, as they continue to work together and help her through the whole fiasco she realizes they’re not so bad, an entire excruciating series of events that’s genuinely too large to fit on this post unfolds and it ultimately ends with jack actually having to team UP with the good guys to stop what he started, and it ends with them breaking down, apologizing, and beginning their redemption BUT not without the illustration of several lessons that arose out of the complications of the entire thing...... the overarching lesson that’d been entrenched in their entire dynamic from the start, albeit corny, is that caring and being cared for was all they ever needed, and they learn to cultivate that within each other right under their own noses. it would be fun to have them stay as recurring villains forever, but seeing how much good is in their hearts is enough to make you wonder how they were ever evil.
xiaolin monks:
she thinks she hates them, but she doesn’t really. while her opinion of them is marked by resentment and distaste, she also holds them in high regard. a part of her wishes she could be friends with them, but the mental landscape she’s paved for herself doesn’t reveal that as an option. in her mind, she’s already been rejected by them. so why try?
the way she takes her pain out on them - people who had nothing to do with her traumas - can be summed up by the spinel su quote, “why do i want to hurt you so bad? i’m supposed to be a friend. i just want to be a friend.”
she gets chummier with them upon her redemption. out of the group, she gets along best with clay and dojo :) 
bonus origin episode
this would be the imaginary early season 4 episode i mentioned at the beginning of the post. it’s more of a loose string of ideas tied together with reckless abandon but hey. the episode would open with jack feeling lonely and down on his luck to establish the theme that he kinda needs a friend (”wuya’s gone, chase trained his cats to get surly with me if i show up, my evil dream team won’t answer my calls....”). his sulking is interrupted by a shen gong wu alert and he’s like. whatever. i don’t need them. i’m still gonna do this on my own. even if it’s. ˡᵒⁿᵉˡʸ. fastforward to the scene i described where sid is putzing around with her doohicky (which i’m considering might be the neptune helmet) all by her sad miserable lonesome when suddenly some flying bloke in a trenchcoat who looks like he hasn’t seen the sun in years shows up telling her she’s got something he needs. she of course responds with something along the lines of “you know what? why don’t you try to take it from me since you want it so bad, mr big stuff,” triggering a xiaolin showdown. this is around the time the xiaolin dragons show up too late - but they’re grateful for somebody having been there to fight jack in time, even if they have no idea who they are. she has no clue what’s going on, but whatever it is, she LOVES it. she goes buckwild. she has a time. jack, on the other hand.... well, understanding how badly he needs that wu is certainly throwing a wrench in it, but he can’t help but feel like he’s having a bit of fun too. well, up until he loses. post-showdown, the monks kinda count their chickens before they hatch so to speak and they rush over to this new kid with a shower of praise, thinking they have a friend on their side. instead, she cuts them off, shouts to the guy who’s gathering his bearings (or lack thereof) - “hey! jack was it?” - and playfully tosses her shen gong wu in the air, catching it. “you look like you need this thing way more than i do. tell you what! take me with and i’ll let you borrow it,” is what she follows it up with, implying she wasn’t really that invested and only saw the whole thing as a fun game. jack and the monks are flabbergasted. what’s more bizarre is she did in fact ask to join him, something nobody’s ever done out of their own volition before. she talks about how boooooooooooring it is here and how that was soooooo much fun and to pleeeeeeeease take her with. he’s really iffy about it and doesn’t know if it’s such a good idea. he tries to make himself look cool, telling her “as IF, shortstack..........im afraid The Jack Rides Alone................................................. but-” and ultimately buckling because he can’t deny that it would be nice to have someone around.

Why I don’t give a fuck about canon
Tumblr media
Recently, after randomly coming across some dope pictures of Transformer toys on Instagram that gave me a strong case of nostalgia, I was inspired to revisit an old childhood favorite in “Beast Wars.”
“Beast Wars,” in case you never watched or heard of it as a kid, is the continuation of the Transformer’s story set in the future as descendants of the Auotobots and Decepticons, the Maximals and Predacons, respectively, accidentally travel to prehistoric Earth to continue a centuries long battle between the two opposing factions.
There’s a lot of to digest there, so I’m not going to go into extreme detail over the plot, but the cast features colorful characters such as Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Rattrap, Dinobot and Megatron to name a few. They all have interesting and distinct personalities and generally play well off each other. It was a big part of my childhood and I collected an ungodly amount of their toys back in the day.
Tumblr media
(This was my first ever Beast Wars toy and I think it’s beautiful.)
My rewatch though was…a mixed bag to say the least. The graphics have not aged well. The adventure of the week setup of the plot was repetitive and lacked real character development at times. There were characters that were added in last minute to the show clearly to promote a new action figure over the story on numerous occasions. Though I found the humor to still be pretty good, the action was stale and just lacked high stakes most of the time, save for a few episodes.
I was not shocked it didn’t land terribly well on my rewatch but you know what did? “Beast Machines!”
Tumblr media
“Beast Machines” was the follow-up to Beast Wars that had the Maximals fighting on Cybertron where Megatron has taken control of the whole planet using a virus that changes Transformers into mindless drones to do his bidding. The remaining Maximals manage to survive however after Optimus discovers The Oracle which reformats them into animal robot hybrids that are both mechanical and biological. This sets them on a quest to stop Megatron and bring biological and mechanical balance to Cybertron once and for all.
The series is much more narrative based than the previous as it follows a steady trajectory to its epic conclusion. The animation is much sharper, and the soundtrack is fun as hell to listen to still. The pacing is much faster as the stakes couldn’t be higher for the Maximals and all the old characters from the previous grow in interesting ways and develop into more organic people (literally in some ways). Optimus is a more hardcore and emotionally damaged leader and Megatron goes from being something of a punchline in the previous series to a far more menacing and calculating nemesis. The story touches on themes of balance, authoritarianism, PTSD, love and reunion to name a few and for a kids’ show it is, dare I say…more than meets the eye.
Tumblr media
I absolutely loved it as a kid and I might actually love it even more as an adult, so it was shocking for me, to say the least, when I read further into the history of the show, that a lot of fans straight up rejected it back in the day.
Common complaints I came across were they didn’t like how characters, such as Ratrap especially, “changed.” They didn’t like the new bio/mechanical Maximals and couldn’t believe that Cybertron was once an organic world.
Their big reason (in just about every forum and video I saw about it)? It didn’t adhere to “canon.”
Tumblr media
Now, I’ll start this by saying there is no objective way to critique or even not critique a story. People can like or hate something for a variety of reasons that don’t follow a strict logical pattern. Gods know I have a few questionable/divisive favorites in my catalogue that I have written about here that are based on abstract ideas and personal experiences.
Tumblr media
(The Matrix Reloaded is still great btw)
But I will say, if you judge a mega franchise’s latest entry on how well it is supported by established canon it is, in my opinion, a flawed way to critique a work of fiction.
Canon, sometimes referred to as “lore” by fans, is most often applied and used to describe the long running back stories of franchises that stretch beyond just the main books, movies or series, or even the original narrative of the plot. Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and to a certain extent Harry Potter, all fall into this camp of series with so many interconnected parts, with more than one main character featured in each, that fans follow along this canon like ancient monks studying scripture and history books.
And they can be just as fanatical and over zealous about it.
Tumblr media
(I wish they were more fanatical about proper hygiene or at least deodorant...)
My problem with the ways fans often view canon is that their conceptions of what a new story should be is based entirely on the past rather than what is happening right now with the story and what themes the writer is trying express with it this time. 
They base their impressions of the story on external continuity more than the internal continuity.
Yea, the changes in a series like “Beast Machines” are jarring to say the least. Cybertron was formally an organic world like Earth? Rattrap doesn’t have confidence in himself and actually at one point sells out his comrades? Transformers can be biological now? It’s a lot to take in but when watching the story play out it’s not like these elements aren’t explained through the text of the new story.
Cybertron lost balance between its robot inhabitants and its biological life forms and its why it’s out of balance now, and Megatron is the logical progression of that inbalance. Rattrap is struggling to understand his new form, half his friends on the Maximals have been turned into drones, and the remaining team out loud say they don’t have confidence in him. He has PTSD from both the events of this story and the Beast Wars and feels insecure because of how others view him and that’s perfectly logical to not just the story but also the canon. If a fan is willing to give a story a chance they will see that the canon hasn’t actually been destroyed in much of any way and the logical progression is actually there if they simply listen to what’s going on.
Tumblr media
(Seriously, it’s not that deep.)
Fans need to stop confusing a character achieving a franchise long arc with being “suddenly different.” In this way, criticisms of canon in new entries in long running series reveal that fans really just lack imagination to connect the dots. It would be like complaining that Luke Skywalker can’t become paranoid and make a grave mistake in judgment because people never change, nevermind the character already has changed a lot from his origins in “A New Hope” to where he was in “Return of the Jedi.”
Tumblr media
(Oh wait, people did do that…)
But that’s not to say you have to like the new direction either. You can understand these changes and still be like “well, it’s not for me. I don’t care for a PSTD angle or a new origin for Cybertron,” but that’s whole lot different than saying the new series “rapes your childhood” or “Bastardizes the canon.” All the old canon you hold nostalgia for still exists. My love for “Beast Machines” is not harmed by the existence of newer Transformers properties that don’t meet what I look for in the series.
Too often, fans take changes to established “lore” very personally because it doesn’t fit their expectations or have the same nostalgic feelings they had before. When new entries in mega franchises occur fans often try to judge it by how much it is like what they watched before, rather what makes it different and what it is saying now. Again, you don’t have to like new directions in tone or character but consistency to established work DOES NOT equal good storytelling.
I have not been immune to this myself in the past, of course. Back in the day I wrote a 2500-plus word diatribe on “The Amazing Spider-man 2” that mostly went after how it changed the character I grew up with in a bad way and butchered the established back story I knew him by.
You know what other story doesn’t follow canon very well though? “Spider-man: Homecoming.”
Tumblr media
(Now, hear me out...)
Spider-man in the MCU is generally agreed upon to be a good thing by fans. Both movies were big hits both critically and financially and fans often go as far as to say Tom Holland is the “definitive” Peter Parker. 
But Holland’s Spider-man differs quite a bit from the comic-book webslinger. This Spider-man does not have a spidey sense. His best friend is not Harry Osbourne but in fact a retcon of a Mile Morales character. His father figure is Tony Stark, something that never happened in the comics, instead of Uncle Ben, which no matter what way you spin it is arguably his most important relationship in the series.
His character is a reverse of traditional Peter Parker too. Where comics Peter is a reluctant hero, who if anything hates being Spider-man and the burden of his responsibility, “Homecoming” Spider-man actively seeks out responsibility and in many ways enjoys his role as the famous webslinger. In fact, his whole arc is about him earning a spot as an Avenger. He wants to be THE hero and be worthy of it. It’s completely different from what we know of Spider-man.
Tumblr media
(He just wants Tony sempai to notice him uWu)
Now I know some fans actually do complain about this Spidey from a “canon” standpoint, but most don’t. So why did this Spider-man get a pass for many but not “The Amazing” one? Quite simply it’s because stories, as cheesy as it sounds, are about feelings and stories like “Homecoming” tell a good story that effectively make those feelings connect with the audience.
We root for this Peter Parker and his journey to becoming an Avenger and successor to Iron Man because the story is told well, the emotions feel earned, and frankly both films are fun and enjoyable.
It’s easy to complain about canon for many nerds because it’s something tangible that they can point to and make a big stink about when they don’t understand why a movie isn’t reaching them. I don’t doubt that many neckbeards genuinely hate a film like “The Last Jedi” (Hell, I’m not a big fan myself) but when those same nerds enjoy something like “The Mandalorian,” a series that has its own loose relationship with canon and establishing new rules in the series, it tells me it’s not about the “lore” to them.
Tumblr media
(Easy, fanboys...)
I have come to understand, in my growth as a nerd, that my problems with a lot of movies and TV shows in my favorite series rarely, if ever, have anything to do with the story not meeting some arbitrary guidelines regarding canon. It has more to with the story simply not connecting with me emotionally. The story isn’t drawing me in and keeping me on its narrative path. I’m not feeling the same magic that someone else might feel enjoying it because either a) it doesn’t feel earned to me or b) it just stylistically isn’t for me.
To paraphrase a line from another mega franchise, also owned by Disney, the canon is more like guidelines than actual rules.
Tumblr media
(Didn’t expect to see ol’ Barbosa in this write up, did ye?)
It can show you where a story comes from but it isn’t law that you strictly adhere to it. Of course, when writing a new work in a popular series you should consider what came before it but I would like writer’s the freedom to try something new and most importantly fans to be open to it. You don’t have to like it but the idea that new entries in a story MUST remain strict to the canon is bull shit. Not even the original Star Wars trilogy adhered to its own canon perfectly, as clearly the writers were in fact making it up to a certain extent as they were going along.
Tumblr media
(hmmmm...)
And that’s ok, because some of those changes were great! Made the story better and made the conclusion stronger.
Again, you don’t have to like every new entry that tries something bold or confrontational in your favorite franchise but if writers strictly followed canon to the T we wouldn’t have things like “Homecoming,” we wouldn’t have “The Mandalorian,” and we certainly wouldn’t have my favorite Transformers series “Beast Machines.”
Canon shouldn’t be a trap for writers and it shouldn’t be a litmus test for fans digesting it. There are so many better ways to judge a story than whether or not it fits neatly into established lore. A good story is a good story, regardless of whether or not it’s supported by something as static as canon.
“Beast Machines” has its flaws here and there, but canon isn’t one of them, at least not for me. Again, if you feel that the lore is important, that’s fine, you don’t have to ignore it but I would ask you to look beyond what came before when critiquing a new story.
Otherwise, you might miss something special that comes next…
Tumblr media
Now then...

How I actually manage to write
Listed below are a few things I do to make myself write (and enjoy it). this is how I wrote 15k words in a week and a half:
Sprints: sprints are basically a fun way to write a lot in a very short time. You set your timer for a short period of time you’d like to write (I like 10-15 minutes) and just write as much as possible for that amount of time. I also like to see my progress, I sometimes write 500 words, sometimes 100 words, it’s a great way to get to know your writing habits.
Compitition: I like doing the sprints with other people, this way I know how fast other people work. I’m a very competitive person, so if someone wrote more than me, I’ll keep writing until I’ll reach them. You can do that with sprints, or with friends (seeing who will reach a certain goal first)
Hints: this is kinda weird, but I do it constantly. I have little “hints” of my project laid all over my house. Little drawings of my ocs, my own quotes, the name of my novel. For example, my bio on Instagram is a quote from my novel; no one knows but me. It’s a small reminder that of your project everywhere you go. 
Force: force yourself to write for a while. make yourself write, and you’ll be so invested in your own little world to stop. I’ve done this many times, and ended up writing 2,000 words a day. It really reminds you of why you started writing. 
Imagination: I constantly imagine my novel (you know, the product). I can imagine exactly how the front would look, I can imagine my friends and family reading it, I can imagine myself signing it, I can imagine people on Tumblr writing about it. It’s your imagination, be wild, dream about your novel! This is SUPER MOTIVATING. 
Feel free to add your tips and tricks:)

Tú. [A ‘You’ Fanfiction]
Chapter 3: Dissapointing. More social media façades.
Tumblr media
There's only one thing I can say: What the fuck?
Alexandra, I'm disappointed but not surprised.
Ass pic, selfie, a lip-syncing video to god awful 'music,' selfie, ass pic, bikini pic, landscape, another landscape (ft your ass), do I need to go on or do you get the point?
I can't blame you for needing the approval of those around you, social media is a real addiction. You're not the first person I've loved that succumbed to social media's relentless grasp.
Beck. God, I miss you Beck.
You present yourself completely unlike Beck did. Beck would paint herself out to be this happy-go-lucky, optimistic, starry-eyed yet level headed, young aspiring writer. She was. Just not as cookie-cutter as her Instagram made her out to be.
You paint yourself out to be this sultry, sexy, mysterious vixen. I can tell there's more to you than this and your bio confirms it:
my main is false ccj, if you want to really know me dale follow my finsta: @alexxladura
Google Translate can only do so much, but I get the gist of it. Your true self is locked away in a private account. I make a fake account and while part of me hopes you accept my follow, a bigger part of me wants you to decline since it's obvious you've never met Juan Ricardo (plus accepting random people's follows completely ruins the point of having a private second account.)
Your 'finsta' bio reads out:
If I accept you here you are real og // REMOVE YOUR I HAVE REACHED THE CABALLOTA// my main so you can see my beautiful face @alexmala
I've never regretted anything in my life as much as I regret not taking Spanish in high school because I want to know what you mean by this and Google just isn't cutting it and I bet you're incredibly intelligent and insightful but there's just this language barrier that's so frustrating because despite hugs and kisses not being exclusive to one language the bond we have to form to get to hugs and kisses and morning sex and more of those playful punches you love to give me require communication and we speak the same language emotionally just not verbally and google translate is shit, my Spanish is nonexistent and I might as well go back to your main account because it's obvious you're not going to accept Juan Ricardo on your finsta.
Good girl.
The rest of your bio on your @alexmala account reveals a lot of information, thankfully it's in English but nonetheless a scary amount of information; any pervert or stalker can access this:
20🎉// UPR-RP 📚 // Dancer 💃// single but not ready 2 mingle 🔐// bad bitch 24/7 ✨
All in all, with your Instagram, small bits of information you let out while on our date and a bit of deeper research I've come to a pretty good conclusion:
You're a twenty-year-old born and raised in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. You're an only child but treat your cousins as siblings because according to you, "every Hispanic family has like a trillion cousins and family is family so yes, I consider my cousins my siblings." You major in accounting but that's just a back-up plan in case you don't make it as a dancer but I believe in you Alexandra, the short dancing videos on your page are really impressive. In case the dancing doesn't work out you can always join the music scene, I looked through the post you're tagged in and there's a video of you singing, plus I saw some of the papers in your folders are songs, I would've thought they were poems I noticed chords scribbled on the papers. You have a beautiful voice and you're beautiful and talented and I love you for it.
I don't know if I should be proud or frustrated because you haven't posted anything related to New York on your Instagram or Facebook, which means I can't check up on you.
The only consolation I have is the fact that you have my number, I didn't ask for yours because I know girls don't like desperate guys; I had to play it off cool.
Now it's just the waiting period relationships are obligated to take because society and media deemed it necessary. I find it to be a waste, I mean, if both parties obviously like each other, what's the need? Societal pressures are-
You texted me.
My phone rang and you just texted me.
You don't give a shit about society or their egotistical, wasteful opinions because you, Alexandra Malavé, just texted me two hours after our date.
I've never seen the area code 787. Exotic.
787-955-0010: hello this is alexandra, save my number!!!
Me: Will do. :)
While I add your contact I get another notification, you're a fast texter. I like that.
Alexandra: Do you think using google translate to text would hinder my progress Mr. Goldberg? :^)
Fuck. Mr. Goldberg? Kinky.
Me: Yes it would young pupil, only use it as a last resort.
Shit. Shit. That was corny and it sounded too perverted. You probably think I'm a freak.
Alexandra: okey do not make fun of me thou
I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
Me: A teacher would never make fun of a learning student. PS: Remember your contractions.
Alexandra: jajaja sorri. dont***
Me: Sorry*** don't***
Alexandra: jajaja sorry. don't.***
Me: Hahaha***
Alexandra: AYE!!!! I laf in spanish it's diferent then lafing in inglich!!
If I'm honest this has to be some of the worse grammar I've ever witnessed, but I see you Alexandra, the one text you sent with google translate was eloquent. I'll make your life so much easier, not only with English but with everything else you could possibly need.
Alexandra: do you know any gud pizza plases in crownheights?
Crown Heights? Crown Heights! That's right next to Bed Stuy, I finally have something to go off of.
Me: Yeah, you live in Crown Heights?
Alexandra: yessir
You live right by me. It's the cruel, sadistic tease God is punishing me with under the premise of 'karma.' It's downright malicious to have you so close but not have you in my presence.
Looks like I'm taking a stroll through Crown Heights.
[this fanfic gets hella updated on wattpad, so if you want to read faster read there. already in chapter 5.]

                                                BIOGRAPHY.
born  and  raised  in  daegu,  south  korea.
parents  were  both  incredibly  well  known.  one  being  a  lawyer,  one  being  a  ceo  of  a  multi-million  dollar  corporation.
they  weren't  around  a  lot  due  to  how  busy  their  schedule  was,  so  minwoo  was  mostly  raised  by  the  nannies  /  maids  that  were  always  around.
there  was  a  tiny  bit  of  resentment  that  minwoo  held  towards  his  parents  for  never  being  around  that  he'd  take  that  out  on  the  nannies,  so  much  so  they  had  a  hard  time  keeping  a  full-time  nanny  hired.  they'd  constantly  quit  their  jobs  due  to  how  minwoo  treated  them.
after  a  while,  though,  the  choi's  were  able  to  find  one  nanny  in  particular  that  didn't  take  minwoo's  attitude  personally  &  didn't  allow  it  to  effect  their  job.  in  fact,  they  started  to  reprimand  min  for  the  way  he  was  acting  out.
at  first,  of  course,  minwoo  didn't  take  well  to  that  at  all.  he  got  more  angry,  started  getting  more  of  an  attitude.  but  after  a  while,  he  grew  tired  of  it..  finally  breaking  down  &  it  was  then  that  the  nanny  figured  out  why  he  was  lashing  out  at  every  person  that  happened  to  be  doing  the  job  his  parents  were  supposed  to  be.
minwoo  started  to  calm  down  after  that  day,  finally  starting  to  realize  that  it  wasn't  the  nannies  fault  that  his  parents  were  always  working  and  couldn't  be  around  to  raise  him  like  he  really  wanted  them  to  be.
it  was  then  that  his  grades  started  to  get  better,  attitude  improving  almost  completely.  sure,  there  were  days  where  it  still  got  to  him,  but  for  the  most  part  he  stopped  taking  it  out  on  everyone  but  the  people  actually responsible  for  the  way  he  felt.
his  school  days  after  that  went  really  well,  acing  all  of  his  classes  and  staying  at  the  top  of  his  grade  the  entire  time.  things  got  different  around  high  school,  though.  his  parents  started  breathing  down  his  neck  about  either  becoming  a  ceo  or  a  lawyer.
neither  of  those  things  is  actually  what  minwoo  wanted  to  do,  fully  unsure  of  what  he  wanted  to  do  with  his  life.  but  he  didn't  want  to  let  either  of  them  down,  so  in  his  free time  he  ended  up  studying  for  both  things.
completely  letting  his  'free'  time  go  in  order  to  please  both  of  his  parents  caused  him  to  start  building  up  his  aggression  &  resentment  once  more.
he  couldn't  take  it  for  much  longer,  his  parents  constantly  yelling  at  him  to  get  his  shit  together  caused  him  to  hate  school,  hate  studying  for  both  things  that  he  doesn't  want  to  do...
so  one  day,  he  snapped.  his  father  bursting  through  his  room  as  he  was  taking  a  break  only  to  start  yelling  &  instead  of  falling  back  into  line,  minwoo  got  up  &  got  in  his  father's  face  and  began  yelling  back.  telling  his  father  that  what  his  parents  wanted  him  to  do  wasn't  what  he  wanted  at  all.
his  father  didn't  take  too  kindly  to  that,  basically  telling  minwoo  that  if  he  didn't  want  to  do  either  of  the  things  his  parents  wanted  him  to  do,  he  could  move  out  and  deal  with  life  on  his  own.
to  prove  a  point,  that's  exactly  what  minwoo  did,  moving  into  his  aunt's  house  as  he  finished  high  school,  finding  multiple  part-time  job  that'd  pay  the  bills  he  needed  to  pay  as  well  giving  his  aunt  some  for  rent  just  because  she  willingly  let ��him  in.
those  were  also  something  he  didn't  want  to  do,  but  he  did  them  anyways  just  to  be  able  to  have  some  sort  of  income.
after  he  graduated  high  school,  he  had  tons  of  colleges  that  wanted  him  to  join  them  just  because  of  how  good  his  grades  were,  but  that  also  didn't  seem  to  be  something  he  wanted  to  do.
he  declined  each  and  every  one  of  them  with  little  to  no  regret,  his  aunt  supporting  the  decision  even  though  she  wanted  to  see  him  do  something  better  with  his  life.
those  words  stuck  with  him  as  he  finally  moved  out  of  her  home  &  into  a  small apartment,  busting  his  ass  to  constantly  be  able  to  pay  bills.
it  wasn't  until  he  met  someone  at  the  bar  he  worked  at  that  his  life  started  to  take  a  turn  for  the  better.  the  mastermind  happened  to  frequent  the  place  he  worked,  always  giving  minwoo  a  hard  time  about  doing  better  things  with  his  life, only  for  minwoo  to  brush  it  off.
but  one  night,  min  finally  got  curious,  asking  the  mastermind  what  that  meant.  that's  when  the  offer  to  join  the  kumiho  was  set  in  place.  the  mastermind  had  seen  how  determined  minwoo was,  overheard  min  talking  about  the  four  shitty  jobs  he  had  to  work  in  order  'survive'  just  because  he  didn't  want  to  even  touch  the  money  his  parents  constantly  kept  sending  him  just  out  of  spite.
minwoo  actually  started  out  in  the  kumiho  as  a  runner,  getting  things  that  the  crew  needed  &  hiding  in  plain  sight.
however,  the  second  that  the  mastermind  found  out  about  minwoo's  studies,  they  were  quick  to  suggest  something  more,  explaining  the  difficulties  of  being  a  coordinator  &  explaining  why  they  thought  minwoo  would  be  perfect  for  the  job.
minwoo  was  skeptical  at  first,  though  it  only  took  a  few  days  of  debating  with  himself  before  he  agreed  &  ever  since  then,  he's  done  his  best.  he  wanted  to  make  sure  that  the  mastermind  was  proud  of  the  choice  they'd  made.
                                            PERSONALITY.
most  of  the  time,  minwoo  seems  pretty  cocky  &  sarcastic.
can  be  extremely  blunt  when  it  comes  to  certain  things,  even  if  his  words  might  happen  to  hurt  someone  else.
extremely  selfish  for  the  most  part,  always  looks  out  for  himself  before  he  looks  out  for  others...  but  he  does  still  care  about  others,  even  though  he  barely  shows  it.
also  loves  to  "one  up"  others,  it's  the  competitive  side  of  him  but  he  usually  does  so  in  a  playful  /  teasing  way.
he's  deep  down  really  goofy  &  loves  to  have  fun.  loves  to  explore  &  goof  off  whenever  possible.
has  the  tendency  to  hate  commitment,  so  whenever  feelings  start  getting  involved,  his  knee-jerk  reaction  is  to  run  &  avoid  it  at  all  cost.
is  one  of  those  people  who  pretends  to  hate  everything  &  be  really  serious  but  will  dance  around  his  room  in  his  boxers  when  he  thinks  no  one  can  see  him.
a  very  two-sided  person  but  not  in  a  way  that  could  be  seen  as  fake..  he's  just  got  a  very  serious  side  of  him  vs  the  goofy,  fun  loving  one  that  doesn't  get  to  be  seen  as  often.
extremely  serious  when  it  comes  to  his  job,  though.  will  call  people  out  on  the  smallest  of  mistakes  if  he  thinks  it'll  effect  any  of  the  heists.  he  really  has  no  issue  with  confrontation  &  will  do  so  if  he  thinks  it's  needed.
absolutely  loves  to  cook,  picked  that  up  when  he  was  living  with  his  aunt.  he  started  cooking  dinner  and  meals  so  that  his  aunt  didn't  have  to  whenever  she  got  home.
also  a  tiny  a  bit  neat  freak  so  he  gets  a  tiny  bit  stressed  out  whenever  headquarters  is  a little  bit  messy  and  will  either  just  clean  up  the  messes  or  get  snippy  with  everyone  until  he  figures  out  who  did  it.
loves  fashion,  constantly  is  seen  going  to  fashion  shows  to  try  and  keep  up  with  the  latest  trends  &  constantly  is  buying  clothes  &  accessories.
also  loves  cars,  will  buy  the  latest  and  greatest  models  of  each  and  every  sports  car  that  comes  out.
his  'socialite'  side  comes  out  the  most  during  events  where  he's  around  a  bunch of  people,  creating  new  ties  with  whoever  he  can  knowing  connections  like  those will  help  him  gain  new  followers  &  things  like  that.
known  for  modeling  &  his  instagram  /  social  media  posts,  gaining  a  following  just  because  of  his  'ootd'  posts  as  well  as  the  snapchat  videos  he  posts  about  his  daily  life.
                                                  PLOT  IDEAS.

LOVERBOY - CallMeMisfit
By: Irate Specialist
Emotional intelligence is a very important skill to acquire though it is one that many people are often lacking. This is often due to the negative connotations the society we live in has placed on expressing emotion. We’re taught that it’s a sign of weakness and fragility when in reality it’s just a part of the human experience. We are all complex individuals who experience a wide range of emotions in a day let alone a week or a year. So are you ready to be real with yourself? This is the question CallMeMisfit wants everyone to ask themselves before listening to his new album Loverboy.
Loverboy is preceded two projects The Broken Heart Ep and Lo-Fi: A Collection Of Loverboy Lost Files. This was due to the fact that Misfit wanted to tackle some deeper subjects as well as get folks ears ready for the album. “I was kinda seeing what tracks people liked and I realized there ears weren’t ready for it. So that’s why I dropped The Broken Heart Ep,” said Misfit. “It was more or less tackling the tougher subjects, which you can compare to the beginning of Loverboy. To test it out like can you go through the hard.”
The beginning of the album does start with rather heavy subjects. “A Letter from a Deadman”, the first track on Loverboy, starts the project of adressing the subject of suicide as well. However, this track also serves as a conclusion to The Broken Heart Ep. “I was kinda in the same mindset as that but it was more of a turning point,” said Misfit. “‘A Letter from a Deadman’ is kinda me foreshadowing [A Man on the Edge] and it’s the last step right before Loverboy.” After tackling the effects of suicide Misfit gets into his bag a begins talking about heartbreak, a subject we all know well, in the next two songs.
After those tracks Misfit gives us the song “Pride”, an R&B banger that hits you with sonic waves of euphoria. This track makes you truly thankful that when music hits you feel no pain. Misfits vocals work perfectly over this beautiful instrumental, produced by mavric, which also features a sample some may quickly recognize. However the best part about this track is the fact that it wasn’t written. “If you want to be completely honest, a lot of my R&B songs are freestyled,” said Misfit. “I’ll end up just getting in the booth and I’ll catch a bridge or a hook and I’ll start vibing.” After learning this, I implore you to go listen to this track if to do nothing else than just sit and listen in awe.
Another one of my favorite tracks from this album is “Priceless (ft. Girlaroundtheblock)”. Ambition, Misfit’s engineer and close friend, summed up the vibe of this track nicely. “It’s an experience when you hear that record. Something hits you when you hear it.” When you hear this track his words make sense. Again the producer, mavric cooks up a beautiful instrumental that makes you feel like you’re floating through a dream. Then Misfit’s hook comes in “What does it cost/ All that designer is good for a while/ But what does it cost” and you can tell this track has a deeper meaning. Misfit explains that it’s more about recognising that people and experiences you have in your life are truly what is priceless.
Finally one of the tracks I absolutely have to mention in this article is “Strawberry Jam (ft. Niaselly)”. The whole upbeat and fun vibe of this track makes it easily one the tracks you’ll have the hardest time trying to turn off. (Believe me I’ve caught myself listening to this on track almost five or six times through on numerous occasions.) Once you hear the hook you’ll be reeled so fast you’ll think an expert fisherman set the bait. Though Misfit admits he was really just having fun with this track he wants people to hear it and remember to be bold. “It doesn’t nessecerally matter what you look like just be comfortable with who you are,” said Misfit.
Loverboy is a musical experience from top to bottom. The samples throughout the project provide it with so much life. Plus all the music is not only pleasing to your ears but also to your spirit as the tracks make you confront your own emotions while uplifting you. Though the album starts out a little dark it progressively gets more fun symbolizing the fact that there’s always light on the other side of pain. “As real as life gets don’t forget to have fun. Don’t forget to love yourself and love everyone around you,” said Misfit.
Please go listen to Loverboy if you have not already.
