OK, so. I just finished the quest “In Your Heart Shall Burn” and I have so many thoughts I just really need to put them somewhere alkfjaskd
Expect this post to be very unorganized and emotional xD
Alright. So, from a purely technical standpoint, this is not the best game I have ever played. There are many glitches here and there, both in the game mechanic and in the visual (though one could argue that they aren’t too annoying and kind of add to the game’s charme in their own way). But damn if this isn’t literaly the best game I have ever played alkdjfasl
I’ve put in nearly 40 hours of gameplay by now and it still feels very much like things are just getting started. There is so fucking much to see, do explore, experience. Even the smallest maps feel huge. There is so much dialog and cutscenes with your companions and advisors. Every single character feels so lovingly designed and thought through and fleshed out. Even those you only talk to once and then move on have beautiful designes, unique voices and characters that shine through.
The one trillion tiny side quests can seem a bit annyoing or overwhelming at times xD But they are still a nice way to be incentivised to explore the maps and a neat way to kill time as you wait for war table operations to finish (though, bless whoever decided to make them run in real time and not in game time aldfjkasld). And damn if the scenery isn’t fucking worth every second of exploring you get to do. I have said this before, but this has got to be one of the most beautiful games I’ve had the pleasure of laying eyes on so far. Granted I am not exactly a hardcore gamer but I’ve played my bit and to me, this is just mind-boggling.
And, oh gods, the main quests. Holy sh*t, really. I am completely blown away. The beauty. The story. The length of the cutscenes. It’s like watching an actual move. But it never gets annoying or seems like it is swallowing the game up, because there still is so much actual game around them. They are so emotional and beautifully done. I am like 20% through the main story arch rn (so I’ve been told) and damn if this story isn’t f*cking amazing.
And there are a lot of other things aside from the story itself, that make this game so amazing. Usually, a lot of games in their design, their characters and their stories are very much aimed at straight men. Which is not to say that they cannot be enjoyable also, but. This game is very much different and I can’t even begin to say how emotional this has me. The entire series so far has been so lovely about representation and everything, adding so many canonically bi characters already. But not only does DAI have two canonically gay characters (one gay, one lesbian, as you do :D), it also offers: Two bi characters, one of them a BDSM tinted romance experience, a possibly autistic or otherwise neurodivergent character, a canonically trans character (let that sink in for a second please. In a fantasy setting. In a huge game of this margin). The latter is not one of the companions, but he plays a decent role and I absolutely love him. All of these characters are created with so much depth and care and respect (as I have already mentioned) and each romance option comes with its own, unique flavor.
Not to mention how much love and detail the game mechanics themselves have to offer. Like, for example, someone had to come up with those quadrillion little side quests xD Those mind-boggling maps had to be designed. But you can also, craft your own weapons, your own armor, chose armor and weapons for all of your companions. There are so many different designs for armor and weapons. Each companion has their own stile you can chose to further cultivate or stray from. Armour can be modified and upgraded in a way that visually changes it. It can be tintet! In five different ways (metal parts, leather parts, cloth parths, some of those devided into two supparts). There are so many ways you can create unique looks. Your Inquisitor has an entire wardrobe of different formal and casual wears just for when you are strolling around the whole as keep you will eventually acquire. (which I just did and my mind is blown. I have been running around in it for like half an hour and I still haven’t seen all of it. bloody hell). There are like five (or more) categories of mounds you can get and all of them are so cool. You can customize your fucking castle. I repeat YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR F*CKING CASTLE. You can choose the windows, the courtains, the beds, the tapestries and so on. Like, never have I played an RPG that offers this level of an experience. And you know what the best part of all of this is? The thing that in this day and age feels almost mind-blowing? None of those features cost you any extra money. They are all just included in the game. (I mean they do cost you gold xD But you cannot buy gold, you need to collect it in the game, that’s it).
It’s just, the amount of love that was so clearly put into this game, a game made for a community of people that is clearly not the usual sell... man. I don’t know. I’m just feeling a lot of things right now xD I needed to digest that a bit and now it is everyone’s problem haha. Anyway. Back to fun little reaction posts now xD
Also, I took a handful of screenshots earlier and I will make another post with them the next time I start up my PC (am on Laptop right now, easier to think). If you actually stuck around to read all of this, I apologize for my ramblings and thank you. Please know that I love and appreciate you xD

(forgot to actualy post this when I first wrote it, anyways, rechecked the info with the help of wiki, so have my thoughts on TFA Megatron (S1))
So I finished the first season of Transformers Animated, and let me just… Let me just EXPRESS my feelings for TFA S1 Megatron and the shit that happens to him:
So Megatron has the Allspark in his sight after so many many years of searching. It’s on a tiny Autobot repair ship, shouldn’t be a problem to get it right? Except while fighting the Autobots a bomb planted on him (by Starscream, he should see this coming) detonates. He survives that with damage to his right arm, gets inside the ship and is facing off against 5 autobots (clearly repair crew, and not in sync) in no gravity. One of them manages to cut his arm off, he is down by an arm, big deal, ‘tis but a scratch, he’s fine.
… No like seriously, this doesn’t stop him. He ALMOST GETS THE ALLSPARK!
Except that the leader of this troublesome repair crew kicks him off ship, causing him to crash on Earth. The only thing intact is his head (that Sumdac finds). Is he dead? Is he in a coma? Whatever it is, Sumdac tinkers with what he found.
50 years later, Megatron wakes up, can’t move, can’t do anything really because he is literaly a HEAD (ᵃˡˢᵒ ʷʰⁱˡᵉ ⁿᵒᵗ ʳᵉˡᵃᵗᵉᵈ ᵗᵒ ᵗʰᵉ ʳᵃⁿᵗ ᶠᵘˡˡʸ,ⁱ ˡᵒᵛᵉᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ᵉᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ʷⁱᵗʰ ᵇᵘˡᵏʰᵉᵃᵈ “ˡᵒˢⁱⁿᵍ” ʰⁱˢ ᵇᵒᵈʸ…ᵖᵘᵗˢ ᵗʰⁱⁿᵍˢ ⁱⁿᵗᵒ ᵖᵉʳˢᵖᵉᶜᵗⁱᵛᵉ), sees that Starscream was the one who tried to kill him and almost suceeded (or did he suceed? Again, not 100% clear on the function of that Key… It heals, it upgrades, it gives life and sentience… Did it REVIVE Megatron or did it just wake him up?)
And what does he do?
Tumblr media
I MEAN LOOK AT THIS?!
He is LITERALY ONLY A HEAD, WITH SO MANY OF PARTS EXPOSED OR WIRES HOOKED UP TO SUMDACS MACHINES.
MACHINES THAT HE CAN’T USE, BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO PRIMITIVE.
AND DESPITE ALL THAT!
THIS GLORIOUS FUCKER!
STARTS PLANNING RIGHT AWAY! HE KNOWS THE SITUATION IS BAD AND HE BIDES HIS TIME!
He eventualy risks what little… Advantage? Is being locked away in the dark an advantage? When there’s autobots around being hailed as heroes, yea I think it might be though Megatron wouldn’t admit it… I think? Not outloud that’s for sure
Anyways, he risks it with exposing himself to Sumdac.
And then proceeds to deceive Sumdac! Like, Sumdac is smart. I actualy did need to take a step back and go “damn this poor man really is way over his head”, because on the first glance it seems really dumb to fall for a lie like that.
(I actualy would love to talk about the Professor in the future, especialy by just looking at him as a character on his own… BUT THIS IS MEGS SPOTLIGHT SO *yeets away for another time*)
AND MEGATRON IS NOT 100% GOOD AT THIS “I am an Autobot” THING. He lashes out! He is impatient, he is angry to the point of wrecking the lab with the energy surges and there are moments when Sumdac doubts that he himself can fix this mess he made, especialy with how angry this “Autobot” is.
But SOMEHOW, this glorious FUCK manages to turn most of the damage those outbursts cause into very convincing explanations for his reactions, WHILE also pretending to be useful and “helping”.  
He can see almost everything from where he is, once he masters the connections with the cameras and etc. in the tower and things across the city. He deflects or “explains” why his plans included flamethrowers for amusement bots, and, let me say this again! 
HE IS ONLY A HEAD AT THIS POINT IN THE SERIES!
A HEAD!
He is pretty limited with what he can do HIMSELF! Sumdac is not an ally, he is more of an enemy that isn’t aware of the power he holds over Megatron.
And he is doing everything FAR too slow.
That everything being mainly, getting Megs a body.
AND WHAT’S EVEN BETTER?!
There are so many robots around, all of them reverse enginered from Megatron himself, and none of them are of use to him. And when he DOES manage to get them to listen, something always interferes (Dinobots were a semi sucess, Soundwave rebelled, but did end up wearing a con badge (and boy was it eerie to hear Soundwave say ‘machines supperior to humans’ and how they will be all destroyed… Great episode that one) ). 
So the robots of this planet are useless to him. He has to try and find a way to manipulate human criminals to do his bidding, getting him the materials Sumdac apparently can’t get without raising suspicion. Not that it’s hard, but they are useless as well, especialy with the Autobots meddling, so that also fails. 
And there is always that Key. That he can’t just ask for, but can’t get no matter how he tries. And by god, does he try.
His only real, longe term-ish line of self defense at the moment is Sumdac and his guilt over using a friend of the Heroic Autobots…
AND THEN!
HIS DECEPTICONS ARRIVE!
And he isn’t even sure if he can trust them, given that his Second In Command blew him to pieces. So he has to gamble and hope for the best with Lugnut.
Which is clearly tiring because, as much of devout follower as Lugnut is (the fanfics are all spot on, writers of TFA Fandom amazing job portraying this mass of devotion), it gets annoying real fast when you are trying to get things done and really need to get a body asap, and the only one you can count on is determined to sing praises to you everytime you give an order.
Not even THAT seems to bring him any closer to his goal. And then Sumdac finds what remained of his body.
Tumblr media
Pretty good for 50 years of weather exposure, eh?
BUT it seems he will have to keep waiting, because the blizzard that is raging outside causes a blackout, so the Tower is using the backup generator, so Sumdac declairs a delay in repairs.
Megatron alternates between bluster and sweet-talk to try to get his way, but it’s no use. Megatron attempts to call Lugnut again for assistance.
(Source: tfwiki)
From the looks of it, he came back online at the begining/end of fall, so he’s been,
pretending to be an Autobot (one who is a friend of bots he knows very little about, the ones who caused him to become like this in the first place)
 pretending to be useful and helpful to Sumdac in exchange for attempted repairs (all of which have failed)
keeping his temper in check (good thing he can save the slip ups with quick thinking…)  
for about… 3 or 4 months?
And no way to leave the lab?
With Sumdac as his only company?
Probably also in discomfort given THAT HE IS HOOKED UP LIKE THAT?!
With his ghoulish hand in sight that was/is CLEARLY being used as a chair for an organic?
… Yea. Imagine doing all that, being this close to finaly making progress, and instead being told “Weather bad, no can’t do, wait a while longer”.
So if Sumdac fears enough for the safety of his planet, he’ll surely work faster right? That seems to work somewhat…
Then comes Starscream.
The absolutely last Decepticon Megatron needs right now. So Megatron has to pretend he doesn’t know Starscream tried to kill him. With Starscream CLEARLY planning to kill him for good this time.
He is a head, what can he do?
We can soon see Megatron can take great joy in punishing that fragger, with limited resources he has, while Sumdac finaly works on his body.
The only fun perk of being a “friend of the Autobots” so far.
And then Blitzwing and Lugnut arrive. I swear, I was sure with all the talk Lugnut was doing, there was no way Megatron will actualy get that body.
Good thing they got the Key and that Sumdac didn’t think/wasn’t able to put in any override codes or sound the alarms.
What followed was a gorgeous villain reanimation/reconstruction scene and I loved every second of it. I mean, just look at this. 
So, Megatron finaly has a fresh new body.
Tumblr media
(gorgeous fucker)
He fights the Autobots, (if I start talking about the details, this post will never end), defeats them and does a magnificent job of offlining his SIC.
(Like, I love TFA Starscream. I really do. This purple bastard is a joy to watch, but given what he did, seeing him get offlined in such a dramatic, yet quick and efficient way(and knowing he comes back anyway)… Let’s just say, I was very pleased.)
The “Fuck you Starscream, Die 1.0” however, lets the Autobots escape and the chase begins.
Here I would like to thank the animators for giving both Bots and Cons gorgeous Magical girl-esque transformation scenes, because they are all beautiful BUT MEGATRON, HOLY HELL, I AM LOVING THAT HELICOPTER!
And they are back on the Ark, fighting in much the same way they were the first time, 
But Megatron has no apparent weaknesses, except perhaps being cluttered with little shards of Optimus Prime after he finishes beating on the Autobot. Their one-sided fight carries them into the hold of the ship, where Megatron succeeds in acquiring the AllSpark… 
Megatron manages to GET THE ALLSPARK! 
SO MANY YEARS OF FIGHTING AND SEARCHING, AND HE HAS IT!
And he puts it in his spark chamber. Or in front of it.
Megatron. You just put an anchient artifact in your chest.
I… Listen, this is a step above Megan and his SpaceCocaineStraightToSpark Nonesense, BUT ALRIGHT!
I GUESS IT IS “SAFER” THAN HOLDING IT IN YOUR HANDS WHILE FIGHTING AND GLOATING.
Before he can celebrate, he is temporarily downed by Isaac, who knows enough about Megatron’s circuitry to disable his equilibrium sensors—
(”well fuck you too Sumdac”, I mutter to myself) 
but although he drops the AllSpark Key in his stumble, the tyrant isn’t down for long. Megatron is about to finish Prime, when Sari hurls Prime the Key…
the kid Megatron could easily crush when she was standing infront of the Allspark (BUT HE DIDN’T!) throws the key to Optimus.
Who proceeds to jam it into the Allspark.
In your chest Megatron.
Where your own spark is, Megatron.
For the Lord of Decepticons and quite an old fellow, who I’ve just sung praise to, that was so dumb…
A destabilized Megatron flees the ship before the AllSpark explodes inside his chest, dispersing its energy throughout the atmosphere.
HE BLOWS UP! AGAIN!
This time his body is mostly in one piece, and he has Sumdac as a hostage but…
This Megatron does not have luck on his side.
He really does not.
The only reason he is still functioning is, that he is too stubborn to give up and die. 
The whole “TooStubbornToDie” does seem to be a Megatron trademark, and makes me love his character even more.
TFA Megs. S1 and I already love him so much. 
To finish up this rant of mine…
Someone get him a damn blanket and force him TO TAKE A DAMN BREAK! REST YOU STUBBORN FOOL!

I love you
Tumblr media
a/n Holy shit guys I'm literaly terrible at being consistent, but I think I finally found a way to deal with some of my shit in a healthy way so maybe that means that I will be writing more (lmao don't count on it) but I really want to try. So here’s something, I know its not my best but I wanted to put something out there :)
Lena Luthor x Reader
Today was different than most day’s, you see last night was the first night that the paparazzi had seen you and Lena together and lets just your boss wasn't the happiest with his star attorney dating someone who has a shady family. 
You were a district attorney your whole job was to put criminals away, so when your boss found out that you were dating the sister of one of the most famed criminals in history he wasn't happy. He even assigned one of the other lawyers in the office to go over your cases to make sure you didn’t hide anything. 
You were furious with the way everyone was acting, yes Lena had a shady family but she was different and you would never let a girl interfere with your work. But your boss still insisted on making sure everything added up. 
The news was also loving the relationship, saying thing such as “Its poetic Lena is dating the lawyer who will one day put her behind bars.” You never realized the extent to the hate of Lena. You never chose to believe that people hated her, you never understood why, everything she does is to help the society that hates her. 
You gained a new perspective you got a sliver of what it must be like to be her. She just amazed you more, the fact that she dealt with that on a daily bases and she continued to be good. You knew you were with the strongest and most amazing woman ever. 
When you got home she was at your apartment. 
“Lena?” you asked surprised, you guys didn’t have plans.
“Oh (y/n) I just came over and when you weren't home I used the key you gave me and I just wanted to apologize for everything that has happened.” 
“Apologize for what?” 
“You know the photos getting out. I can't imagine what everyones been saying to you in person.” she said looking down
“Lena I love you, and honestly I don’t care that the world knows now I’m proud to be dating you. You are the strongest person I’ve ever met.” you said pulling her into a hug.
“You love me?” she asked, you hadn't realized you said that. It was the first time you had said that. 
“Yes I love you Lena.” you said kissing the top of her head 
“Here I was thinking you were going to break up with me.” she said 
“You can't get rid of me that easily.” you said 
“Good because I love you too.” she said tightening the hug

So I was not fucking around about this prompt XD Here, have a sneak peak at the first (very very very very very rough) draft (I literaly just wrote this in the last hour tops) of the first thousand-ish words :P
Prompt: Anyone not married by age 25 gets a spouse assigned to them by the government. You are fine with that: most matches are a success and it’s less effort for you. But it’s your wedding day and you’ve just met your match. You cannot imagine how this was the person they chose for you…..!
Steve stands in front of the government building, wringing his hands as he hesitates in going in. He had gotten more and more panicked as the years ticked by - 25 was drawing closer and closer and still he was alone. And now here he is, on the morning of his 25th birthday about to register for spousal selection.
He makes his way into the building, hands shaking just a little, and looks around at all the other nervous-looking 25 year olds. The air conditioning in the building is turned on to combat the summer heat, but it’s way too high and Steve feels the chill all the way in his bones.
He makes his way to the counter at the front and the woman smiles at him. Susan, her badge says.
“Hello,” she greets him. “Are you here to register?”
“Uh, yeah,” Steve mumbles, fumbling with his wallet to pull out the necessary documents. Identification, birth certificate, on and on and on. He slides them across the counter to her and as she’s scanning them into the computer he asks, “How long does it, uh, usually take?”
She glances up at him, amused, and shrug. “It really varies from person to person, but usually only a month or two. Unless you’re super picky,” she teases and winks at him. When she’s done with the scanning she hands the documents back and points to a computer along the back wall. “You’re all set at terminal seven. Just fill out the questionnaire and then you’re good to go. We’ll notify you when a match has been made.”
“Uhh, thanks,” Steve manages and he forces a small smile, his bottom lip stuck firmly between his teeth. “Have a good day.”
“You too,” Susan says, but he’s already making his way to the computer at the back of the room.
The first couple of questions are standard – name, birthday, phone number, address. They delve a little deeper and Steve almost blushes. This must be normal, though, he thinks, forcing himself to take a deep breath. Eye color, weight, height, build. Sexuality. Tattoos, piercings, scars… other markings or modifications?  Okay, okay, he guesses. They are matching people, and everyone wants to be physically attracted to their partner as much as they are mentally and emotionally, right?
Hobbies. Okay, now we’re back on track. Sleeping habits, allergies, medical conditions, eating preferences. Holy shit this is getting deep. Steve guesses this is why the matches tend to work out so well. When he looks at the time, he’s already been there for nearly 45 minutes. At the hour mark he finally hits the questions about his preferences. That goes by much faster, as he’s not, what did Susan call it? Super picky. An hour and a half in total and he’s finally done.
He’s chewing his bottom lip again as he pushes himself up from the seat and spares one more glance around the room before exiting the building.
So that was it?
Somehow he’d expected it to be more… dramatic or something. He doesn’t know. Whatever.
It isn’t until he’s back in his apartment, Sam and Riley already there waiting for him, that it really hits him.
“There’s the birthday boy,” Sam says with a wide grin, coming to greet him as he kicks the door closed behind him. Riley’s in the kitchen, already working on his cake (which Steve had insisted a million times he didn’t have to do, but Riley had insisted he did). “How’d it go?”
Steve gives a little shrug, kicking his shoes off and stepping forward into his friend’s outstretched arms. “At first it felt kind of anticlimactic,” he says. “But just now it kind of hit me, you know? Like, shit. Now I just get to sit here and wait for who knows how fuckin’ long. And then I’m going to be getting married. To some stranger that the government picked out for me from what? Some algorithm?” He lets out a groan and slumps forward into his friend’s chest, resting his head against his shoulder.
Sam is chuckling now as he pat’s Steve’s back comfortingly. “It’ll be okay,” he says. “Me and Riley got paired up through the selection, you know. They almost always work out really well,” he assures him. “And you know there’s systems in place, appeals you can make if the match is really bad, or if they’re shit and abuse you or anything.”
Steve groans again and shoves Sam away from him, who just starts laughing again. “I wasn’t even worried about something like that you dick.” He sighs heavily and flops himself onto the couch. “Goddammit Sam.”
“What are you doing to our poor little fella out here?” Riley teases, wiping flour-covered hands onto his jeans as he makes his way into the living room to join them.
“Scaring the shit out of me,” Steve says, melodramatic as always, and throws an arm up to cover his eyes.
“Awh, he didn’t mean it,” the blond comforts him, sitting down next to him and resting a hand on his knee. “He did remind you we were matched up-“
“Through the selection, yes,” Steve lowers his hand so his friend can see him rolling his eyes fondly. “They almost always turn out really well,” he parrots.
Sam chuckles as he takes a seat next to his husband. “Awh, look how well we’ve got him trained,” he teases, and Steve lunges across Riley’s lap to smack him lightly.
“You’re the worst,” he grumbles, but stays sprawled across their laps like that as he sulks.
edit: OMG you guys I can’t even believe the amazing amount of feedback I’ve gotten on this I love you guys so much! I posted a second snippet here for anyone interested! <3 <3 <3
