So then, final race of the 2022 is done and the season wraps up. And now that I finished my little blubbering session and had some water, I’m feeling good to do my final race summary for this year.

Well, first off, congrats to the podium finishers, Max, Charles, and Checo. I mean, what can you really say that hasn’t been said. Max was incredible dominant this year. Which, yeah, doesn’t make for the most interesting of races, but the guy’s certainly got some skills when it comes to driving. Charles was close to him multiple times this year, drove well, but that Ferrari just couldn’t quite bring the results they needed. And Checo starting this weekend neck and neck with Charles gave us that bit of “can he, can’t he” tension that Abu Dhabi does kinda need. Sorry, not sorry to the track. :P

Well done to the rest of the top ten finishers, too. In order we had Carlos, George, Lando, Esteban, Lance, Dan, and Seb. George actually finished pretty well, despite taking that 5 second time penalty. And it was nice to see Dan and Seb get some final points in their last races. And I think I already rambled enough in my pre-race ramble, but I’m definitely going to miss Seb. I certainly hope we’ll see him in a paddock or two in the future, though. Dan of course being another notable personality in the paddock that I’ll miss not seeing on track. Gosh dang, I don’t need to start up the waterworks again. :P

Good job to the rest of the race finishers, as well. In order we had Yuki, Zhou, Alex, Pierre, Val, Mick, and K-Mag. Zhou, by the way, won the rookie of the year trophy...yes, he was the only rookie on the grid, but still. They did give him the trophy! And Mick is of course another one of the drivers who we won’t be seeing on the grid next year. I certainly hope he can pick up a seat somewhere in the near future.

And finally, we have the drivers who didn’t get to see the checkered flag. First out was Nando, who I think suffered a water pressure issue that took him out of the race. Then Lewis had a hydraulic failure that ended his race just a few laps before the end of the race. And during that kerfuffle with Lewis pitting and Checo trying to chase down Charles, Nicholas also pulled into his garage to retire. Both from the race and from F1, as he’s the last of the drivers saying goodbye for now from F1. And...yeah, his race results I’m sure speak a bit louder than anything else but, even so, I hope whatever he does after this he enjoys himself. From one Nick to another. And as for Nando and Lewis, I hope they can both get more out of their cars next year.

So then, that’s that! The 2022 F1 season done and done. Felt like it took it’s sweet time but also flew right by. And as much as I’m liable to grumble a bit about back to back race weekends, I’m sure by next week I’ll be missing not having another race to watch. What can ya do. :P

Well, this is where I’ll say that my liveblogging is done. And of course not just for today but for a good while as we’re now heading into the winter break. I’ve been awfully quiet recently, only popping up for race weekends, but that’s just because I often feel I don’t have much to talk or ramble about. :P But perhaps I can post a few drawings of mine over the break. Goodness knows I doodle a fair bit, I should actually do something with all these megabytes of sketches instead of letting them gather dust in my hard drive... Well, we’ll see!

So, long rambly post over. I hope y’all have a lovely rest of your day, a lovely rest of your year, and I’ll hopefully see you come next year for some F1. Later!

#Nick Liveblogs F1 #Abu Dhabi GP #Long post...whoops #Got a bit carried away there I think #But I have been known to ramble so I suppose that tracks :P

How would the M9 react to their s/o who's not a monk or a fighter picking up an enemy in the middle of battle and slamming them into the ground so hard they kill the enemy

Beau:

Two words: turned on

Immediately cheers you on

“Dude, that was so cool! Do you think you can do it again?”

Jester:

Surprised pikachu face :0

Makes sure you’re actually ok after

Afterwards doodles it into her sketchbook, giving you way more muscles than you usually have

Caleb:

First thought is, immediately, gods are you okay?

And then, oh okay you’re okay what the fuck

Isn’t entirely sure how feel about it but as long as you’re fine, he’s fine.

Veth:

“OHMYGOD”

-chanting- do it again! Do it again!

Is just like, comepletely enamored

Caduceus:

Not really surprised so much as worried? Like don’t hurt yourself

Makes sure you didn’t sprain or pull anything bc that’d be a lot to throw around

Belatedly comments on it as a feat of strength but 🤷🏻‍♀️ he’s more concerned about you than what you did lol

Molly:

Just like Big Grin

Wants to see more of whatever That was

Bedroom eyes

Yasha:

A mix of shocked and worried

Checks you over when the fighting is done

Makes sure you didn’t hurt yourself in this kerfuffle

Fjord:

Both incredibly turned on and also slightly horrified

Gets distracted the rest of the fight and has to center himself

Does he drag you to a bedroom afterwards? It’s a secret 😋

Valorverse - Ships

Welp. I wanted to doodle one of the "Crack"ships I came up with after watching the recent MLP movie, and started a doodle page where I was gonna add more ships and stuff that came to mind, as I saw another Crack-ish ship that I liked and debated on as well lol I moved some doodles and made them their own drawings (The Ocellus drawing I posted recently was one of them for example) and struggled to fill the page but I remembered one of the old ships I touched upon LOL. And without further ado I shall get to the ships. 1. Derpy x Kerfuffle This is the crackship I am talking about above, lol. I don't know where it came from, but I just find this ship dynamic really sweet. Both Kerfuffle and Derpy are adorable rays of sunshine and I only imagine their relationship as a goo-y mushy mess, lol. They met when Kerfuffle came to Ponyville to visit Rarity's boutique after the Rainbow Roadtrip movie. She had to mail something out while visiting and they just hit it off right off the bat. It didn't get romantic for a while, but they were always close, bonding over their cheery demeanors and shared (But vastly different) experiences as disabled ponies. I imagine Derpy to be really romantic and kinda like a Crow/Raven, finding little things that she loves and reminds her of Kerfuffle and giving them to her. (Also I struggled with Kerfuffle's leg on this so I'm sorry if it looks off. it was hard to translate it into my style of drawing legs, plus I redesigned it a bit lol. 2. Marble Pie x Sugar Belle Now this one came kinda out of nowhere lol. It was kinda spawned from a lovely headcanon drawing piece done by :iconItsTechTock: itsTechTock that you can see here!: https://www.deviantart.com/itstechtock/art/HC-Sweet-As-Pie-808490066 They, of course, didn't ship them and talks about something completely different, but my brain started thinking about them and thought they'd be really cute together actually, lol. I feel like in the Valorverse they met through Big mac, both of them being his exes. Sugar Belle just adores how shy Marble is, even though she's trying to help her overcome that. 3. Fluery Heart x Ocellus I saw this ship (Well, Flurry Heart. Fluery's the Valoverse's version of Flurry) in an adorable drawing you can see here: https://www.deviantart.com/peachydust/art/AU-NextGen-Carina-806723551 and I've liked it since, though I have a bit of qualms with it pertaining to my nextgen. (Mainly the age gap if I'm going to be right honest but age gap doesn't necessarily mean youKnowWhat's going on.) Fluery and Ocellus met on "official" princess duties. Princess Cadence has done all she can to strengthen the bond between Changelings and Ponies since the war broke out, and because of that there's been a lot of meetings between them and other leaders around the world. Since Fluery and Skyla are both technically princesses, she would bring them along (as well as her other children occasionally) with her. For similar reasons, Thorax and Chrysalis would bring Ocellus with them. Not really being a part of the political aspects of being Princesses, Fluery, Skyla, and Ocellus would often wander off and go do something else while the adults talked things through, though it took a while for Fluery to be interested in what they did. (I'll post a writing here at some point about that.) Soon enough they would become the closest friends, even making time to go see and talk to each other outside of meetings. Though Skyla didn't go with them outside of the meetings, and eventually had to attend them herself, she was the big sister of the group making sure they didn't get in too much trouble, lol. One day, as they're hanging out, Fluery happens to drop a particuarly funny joke that gets Ocellus really laughing, and she kinda realizes that wow... she's really cute when she does that and oh... she kinda maybe possibly has a crush on her BFF. Ah shit. Skyla totally gives her shit about it though cuz she knew since the beginning lol. I might keep this just a crush on Fluery's end, Ocellus not really picking up on it or not repricating her feelings. I'm not sure though. I do at least think it'd be hilarious if Ocellus didn't pick up on it at first, lol. 4. Pharynx x Tymbal(?), Feelings Forum Changeling I kinda hinted at this one in the Ocellus drawing lol. So I saw it in a stamp: https://www.deviantart.com/cascayd/art/Pharynx-x-Feelings-Forum-Changeling-Stamp-776221176 and at first, I just found it weird and not really my ship tbh but it really started growing on me after rewatching the episode they're in the last few days, lol. Total grumpy pants that's completely soft for a ray of sunshine/calm gentle person is just a trope I like lol. Tymbal knew Pharynx before the hive transformed and they were kinda close then. She wasn't nearly as hippy-ish and theraputic as she is now though, and was actually a hardcore fighter herself. She identified as a guy before the transformation mainly because most Changeling drones/guards did. She and him were great together in battle and were buds because of it. It broke her heart to see her friend struggle so much with the new changes in the hive, wishing she knew how to help besides with the Feelings Forum and Art classes that he hated. She really couldn't reach him until after his transformation. After that, Pharynx seemed to open himself up to getting help and and participting in other things within the hive. Only then was she really able to help, getting him to vent out his feelings in a more healthy way and particpate in the creative art classes there are. Suddenly, Pharynx finds that the icky and yucky feelings and frilly bullshit the changelings did together were a lot more tolerable when he did them with people he loved and was friends with. and eventually, with all the time they've spent together, they fall in love. and Pharynx fucking HATES it and how she makes him feel. He started getting feelings for her first, and he really didn't cope with them well at all. He'd kinda lash out at her, not being able to handle his emotions, but he eventually settled down and they get together with a decently healthy relationship. He still gets flustered though, she just melts his heart lol. 5. Pistachio x Star Tracker Honestly, I was just looking to ship someone with Pistachio. I think their nerdy attitudes combine really well together too lol. Some of Star Tracker's favorite moments with Pistachio are when he starts gushing about fashion or something else he's passionate about, and he just keeps blabbing and Blabbing and BLABBING and will talk to him about it for hours. He just loves listening to him and thinks it's adorable and cute to see how long he'll go. Being a guard when he grows up, Star really appreciates the little things and time they spend together. I guess this is when they're younger and first figuring their feelings out. Anyways i'm like brain dead I'm so tired so I'm going to bed, lol. I really hope you enjoy this doodle. Adopts should be coming next!

A (pretty decent tbh) Meeting With Starscream & Soundwave. And Metroplex.

At Starscream’s orders, Prowl is hooked up to Metroplex to demonstrate that he can cityspeak, by locating Starscream and communicating his location. Prowl is a lot better at locating Starscream than he is at communicating it, but he manages to find a way to get it out.

There’s a bit of a kerfuffle when Soundwave and Starscream tell Prowl to unplug and he doesn’t, but they get it sorted out. Prowl has now been assigned to try to extract more data from Metroplex, particularly concerning his anatomy/blueprints.

The process had the unintended side-effect of jolting Prowl back into some sort of alertness for the first time in weeks. He’s actually speaking in full sentences of his own volition again.

I didn’t record the first half of the chat like a fucking dumbass.

Starscream got situated somewhere out in Metroplex while Prowl got ready to plug in with Metroplex. Soundwave is accompanying Prowl, but he’s in alt-mode and hovering because No Touching The Inside Of Metroplex’s Head. Soundwave is waiting nearby with coolant. Starscream commed them to make sure they were both prepared, which they confirmed—Prowl’s pretty much just communicating in pings of acknowledgment right now. After plugging in, he flopped to sit on his legs and went silent for about a minute as Metroplex started feeding him data. Eventually he managed to say a string of useless words, based on images Metroplex was showing him of the vicinity around Starscream: “Window indigo wire mail tile electric reflection,” which Soundwave relayed on to Starscream. Which is pretty useless as far as positively identifying a location goes, but Starscream gave him 5/10 for “indigo,” and decided to give him another go. Soundwave suggested Starscream make himself more conspicuous.

Starscream: *Starscream will consider his options, then pull out the stylus on the datapd. A few clicks and- how about he draws a crown with wings on the wall. Starscream: *IT's his city he can draw on it* Prowl: I have— I can see— I— *he just can't get it into Neocybex.* Prowl: *words aren't working. try math. he reaches out for soundwave* Soundwave: *Soundwave's not exactly sure what's going on here, but he can't come out of this shape without contacting Metroplex himself, so he stretches a feeler out and wraps it around what's reaching for him.* Soundwave: (txt): What needed? Soundwave: *Can Prowl interpret texts while reading Metroplex? He doesn't know that either. Hmm.* Prowl: *there's a lot of metroplex noise being filtered through Prowl's mind now* Prowl: *the filtering is strong enough that, unless Soundwave TRIES to push through to it, it will be little more than distant colors on the horizon* Prowl: *what IS on the surface of Prowl's mind is Numbers, and no, he can't handle text right now, but he CAN try to think those numbers as loudly as possible.* Prowl: *and—just to make it extra clear—he tugs Soundwave's feeler closer, and presses it directly over the chevron on his helm* Soundwave: *It's kind of a good thing Starscream isn't here right now, because his own biolights brightening up has nothing to do with reading Metroplex. The feeler's tendrils instantly wrap around the chevron-- Soundwave: while the claws spread out and latch on. And oh, NUMBERS...* Starscream: *Starscream is adding to his doodle. the crown has a smaller crown* Prowl: *pure numbers. he's creating a 3D graph with line segments, drawing a building Metroplex is showing him. A wall of windows, the frames and the glass and doors and handles and walls and screws-- Prowl: *--replicated down to the centimeter.* Prowl: *but about halfway through the drawing is disrupted by different lines, something swooping and curving that obviously has nothing to do with the building. Soundwave: *Scrambling to keep up, not as quick with this kind of math as Prowl is. He reaches for Chimera with his other feeler and calls Buzzsaw's processors into play, splitting the work among them-- Soundwave: and combining the additions every few seconds to see where it's going.* Soundwave: [[He's creating a - it was a building. He doesn't know what these...]] Soundwave: [[Here. Look.]] Prowl: *it's chaos now. but before the chaos he got half a building out.* Soundwave: *Sends Starscream the half a building. Does he recognize this? What are these swoopy lines?* Starscream: *Well! He wasn't suspecting an image, but that works just as well as a physical description. As for the swoopy lines-* Starscream: ::I'm upgrading his score to a 9.:: Soundwave: [[What does Prowl need to 'pass'?]] Soundwave: *Please, please don't let this take much longer. He can feel the pull toward those colors...* Prowl: *he's still trying. he's got images. He does. they're just—millions of pixels, and he can only make sense out of eight hundred at a time. this isn't like normal vision, he can't just look at it* Starscream: ::To not fry himself and to score a seven or better one more time. Disconnect him from Metroplex and take a break.:: Starscream: ::I'm going to change my location, and we'll see if he can duplicate the results.:: Soundwave: *Soundwave immediately passes the order on, a little louder than strictly necessary to try to override whatever Metroplex is saying.* Soundwave: [[Disconnect. Separate. Break. Detach.]] Prowl: No. Ain't gonna. *that's... only slightly Prowl's voice there* Soundwave: *In 25 million years he has never once heard any Prowl say "ain't gonna".* Prowl: Moving. Moving? Soundwave: [[You WILL let Prowl go and detach. You do not function without him.]] Soundwave: [[Yes. Moving. Come back.]] Prowl: No. Not done. Soundwave: [[More later. You need a break. You will go back. You can finish then. Please.]] Prowl: *presses the feeler harder against his helm. he's got a map. Metroplex map. There's a trajectory flying over it.* Prowl: *The flight isn't done—still in transit from point A to point B—but he's predicting a range of areas where point B might be base on current trajectory* Soundwave: *Okay, NOW he's going to buzz Starscream.* Starscream: ::Yes? What is it?:: Soundwave: [[He's refusing. And predicting your flight. Here. Tell him if this is enough.]] Starscream: ::Refusing-:: Starscream: *swirtches coms* Starscream: ::Prowl! Disengage from Metroplex immediately!:: Starscream: *is going to switch flightpaths and head to where Prowl and Soundwave are.* Prowl: *the trajectory changes accordingly* Soundwave: [[Stop moving.]] Starscream: *fine, fine! He'll land right here* Soundwave: *Transferring the trajectory data. Look. Look, this is proof.* Prowl: *he got Starscream's comm. Doesn't comm back, though.* He wants— Disconnect— Soundwave: [[Yes. Disconnect. It is good. You have done well. You require coolant. We can begin again when you are well, if there is another test.]] Soundwave: [[If you do not, he will be forced to perform a manual override.]] Soundwave: [[He does not wish to do this.]] Prowl: *prowl clamps his hands over the cables plugging him into metroplex* Starscream: ::Prowl, disconnect from Metroplex immediately or I will call Windblade and tell HER to rip you out of his mind.:: Prowl: *a burst of data comes straight from metroplex, unfiltered through prowl, to Soundwave. not enough data to harm, but enough to shock.* Prowl: *It looks something like this: http://68.media.tumblr.com/7adf80c564fdbc401fa8696934e47870/tumblr_inline_mp4u33EOxZ1qz4rgp.jpg* Soundwave: *Drops a couple of feet in height before stabilizing.* Soundwave: *Hi, Starscream. New player here.* Soundwave: //Uh. Uh. Metroplex kinda... he kinda. He yelled 'stop'.// Starscream: ::You're- Augh. The not screaming one. Rumble. Stop /what/?:: Soundwave: //The Boss was tryna get him to cut off, 'n he wouldn't, so he said he don't wanna have ta pull him out, 'n Metroplex said STOP. So... we're stoppin'.// Soundwave: //Big fragger shouts at ya, ya listen.// Starscream: ::Is there an estimation on if and when Metroplex might be having Prowl disengage? Prowl: *and then, THEN, finally, Prowl unplugs.* Prowl: *and immediately doubles up and cradles his head in his hands.* ugh. Soundwave: //...Uh, right about now.// Soundwave: *Feeler immediately withdrawn. That was clearly a special occasion and there is no way he will take advantage of this to continue reading Prowl's mind.* Starscream: ::Prowl! Soundwave! Status report!:: Starscream: *will resume his flight to their location now that the 'stop' seems to be over with* Soundwave: [[Status: [][][]Ugh.[][][] ]] Prowl: ... Soundwave. *his voice is a little bit shaky* Soundwave: *Nudges coolant over. Pings. Expects Starscream will be here any minute, if he's anything like the others.* Starscream: ::Prowl, respond immediately!:: *a ping is acceptable* Prowl: «Ugh.» Prowl: Did it maybe, possibly, occur to you, that if somebody is interfacing with somebody with a brain five times bigger than their entire body... Prowl: ... it might take a couple of minutes to eject? Starscream: *that's two ughs. At least they're not fried, so that's not two employees he has to replace* Starscream: ::Remain where you are, I'll be joining you at your position shortly. Am I going to have to call in a medic before or after I get a debriefing?:: Prowl: @Starscream «None needed. I'm fine, just hot.» Soundwave: (txt): Soundwave does not know. This, never seen, never done. ... Only reference, self-past. Apology. Soundwave: [[No medics.]] Soundwave: *Even if his head hurts from that STOP.* Prowl: *mumbles something about improperly ejected dongles and defragging for weeks. feels around for the coolant he heard scooting across the floor.* Soundwave: *Nudges it closer to the hand.* Starscream: ::MEdical exam AFTER I yell at you. Good, that's how I prefer doing things.:: Prowl: «I get to yell first.» Prowl: *found it. picks it up and sips at.* ... Thanks. Soundwave: (txt): Welcome. Soundwave: [[...Personal medical exam declined. His deployers have not registered any system damage.]] Soundwave: [[He will accept any admonishments.]] Starscream: *ya'll get a few minutes to 'chill' before your boss shows up* Prowl: ... Well. Now you know. If you tell me to eject, it's going to take a bit before I can. Soundwave: (txt): Understood. Coolant: sufficient? Prowl: Unplug me early and the best case scenario is I'm left with a bunch of corrupt Metroplex junk data in my system, worse case is I lose some of MY data in him. Prowl: Mm. Sufficient. Soundwave: *Oh. Oh, oh, oh. So it's like Bee and Megatron and the... or worse, if he doesn't get all of HIS... okay.* Soundwave: (txt): Processed. Not risked. Prowl data preference: intact. Prowl: Agreed. Soundwave: *Well, that's a step up from wanting to die, he supposes.* Prowl: *sips while awaiting king screamy* Starscream: *KING SCREAMY IS HERE. He's rather cross* Prowl: *oh good so is Prowl, which one of them starts ranting at the other first?* Soundwave: *Drifts lower than Starscream's optic line so he doesn't have an extra reason to take offense at something.* Starscream: Explanations, now. Why did you not eject from Metroplex when ordered to? Prowl: Metroplex's brain is five times bigger than my entire body. It takes a couple of minutes to disengage my data and safely eject. Prowl: I DID eject from Metroplex when ordered to, it takes TIME to eject and you started throwing a fit before we had time to finish! Starscream: I was not informed that you had begun ejection, I was only told that you were still linked up and were tracking my trajectory. Starscream: Why did you not inform myself or Soundwave of the length of time ejection would take BEFORE the test? Prowl: You have a cityspeaker working for you, why did you not KNOW? Starscream: Because Windblade does't physically hook herself into Metroplex's brain most of the time! Prowl: ... Huh. Prowl: ... At any rate, it should be obvious. You interface with something, you need to eject properly when you're done. The more data is being transferred the longer that ejection process takes. Starscream: .... true. *It sounds a little painful for him to admit that*. Starscream: Do you have an exact estimate on how long ejection will take in the future. Prowl: It depends on how long I've been hooked in and what I'll be doing. Prowl: This time took about two minutes. It's the fastest I've ever unplugged, and it was... unpleasantly rushed. Soundwave: *Holds up a feeler* Prowl: The longest I've ever been hooked up was... thhhree hours? Three and a half? It took me fifteen minutes to unplug. Prowl: Yes? Soundwave: [[This, Soundwave's fault. Soundwave's duty: test preparations. Detail overlooked, Prowl response misinterpreted. Without error, no rush, confusion.]] Prowl: ... What WAS my response? *he has no idea* Soundwave: ((...i don't know why he's text talking there. go with it)) Soundwave: *About to replay it when he decides it's best not to let the weird voice get heard. Just repeats it by thought and text.* Soundwave: *And by repeats it, I mean:* Soundwave: [[No. Not done.]] Starscream: Next time, /pleae/ provide some sort of 'please hold' message for the duration of the ejection. Soundwave: *Prowl will get the actual response.* Starscream: Was there miscommunication on my orders? I ordered you to disconnect and I would change locations, not to be tracked. Prowl: Yes, all right, when I'm fifty thousand yottabytes deep in Metroplex's head, I'll be sure to clearly communicate why I can't do so right this second. Starscream: A preloaded message triggered when you start ejection will do. Prowl: ... It was not adequately conveyed to me that I was supposed to unplug and not track you. Starscream: *Looks at Soundwave* Prowl: I was under the impression I had not yet adequately located you and was to continue attempting to convey that I knew where you were. Prowl: *prowl is trying to say, without sacrificing any of his dignity, "i completely didn't understand you"* Soundwave: [[He will accept this blame. He did not initially realize what form or strength the orders to detach would need to be.]] Prowl: In the future—the order shouldn't be given to me. It should be given to Metroplex. Soundwave: *Soundwave will continue sponging blame to leave Prowl in less ill favor. He can handle a little more of it at the moment.* Soundwave: [[Acknowledged.]] Starscream: As I am not a Cityspeaker myself, I considered it better to relay commands through the regular Cybertronians. Starscream: *Starscream staunchly refuses to accept more blame than he can shove onto others* Prowl: The regular Cybertronian has trouble understanding you while he's inside Metroplex's head. Prowl: There is a fundamental misunderstanding most mechs have about cityspeakers—they think it means speaking TO the city. It doesn't. It means speaking FOR the city. Prowl: He can tell me things far more easily than I can tell him things. Starscream: So we know something we need to improve on. Luckily, we won't have to repeat the test, since you did prove that you're able to listen. Starscream: ...then why is the position not Citylisteners. Starscream: Anyway. Prowl: ... Because they help the city to speak? Starscream: ..you were able to speak FOR Metroplex by translating the data you were given into a projection, rather than describing it verbally. What can we set up to improve on that? Starscream: I don't mean a system by which you can describe it verbally, I mean something to transfer the projection more quickly and accurately. Starscream: Unless Soundwave wishes to continue playing intermediary. Prowl: ... Some kind of computer to plug into. So I can display what I'm getting on a screen. Prowl: It's much easier for me to translate his data into numbers than into words. Soundwave: *He wouldn't mind, but obviously Prowl's not having that.* Starscream: Easily arranged. Starscream: If you continue to speak for Metroplex, will a buffer system be required to limit the data? Or is there a time limit we should observe instead? Starscream: ..or perhaps you just require training to be able to deal with it... Prowl: If I'm going to speak for him for longer than a few minutes at a time, I'm going to need a more efficient cooling process. Starscream: *is going to do some pacing. This has a lot of potential, he's got to look at the options* Starscream: It's inelegant but what about an external auxillery system? Prowl: When I did it previously, I was hooked up to a... a rig, of sorts, to keep me cool better. It was jury-rigged but efficient, I can describe it so it can be replicated and improved on. Prowl: Yes—an external system, that's what I had. Starscream: *oh good, he's at least as smart as the folks on the LL. Thats a horrible thought* Starscream: Well. I'd say that if we don't fry your processor this should work. Soundwave: [[He requests the computer be turned over to him for safekeeping when it is not in use.]] Soundwave: *They don't need people tampering with it to screw up Prowl or Metroplex, and he doesn't trust Starscream or the Constructicons with it either.* Prowl: *... Prowl supposes he doesn't need the computer when it isn't being used.* Prowl: *still, though.* Wouldn't it be easier to just... build it into the room? Soundwave: [[Anyone who got access to the room would be able to modify it.]] Starscream: The only person with the will to do so is Windblade, and I doubt she'd risk something that would damage MEtroplex. Soundwave: [[The only one that you know of. If one of the dissatisfied civilians finds out...?]] Starscream: There are far more direct ways of tampering with our operations than breaking into this room and fiddling around on the computer. Starscream: A copy of the data on it should be stored externally, though. In preferrably more than one place. Soundwave: *Shakes his helm. He doesn't like it. But Starscream has that Tone that suggests he's already decided he knows what's best.* Soundwave: [[Very well.]] Starscream: *Soundwave can aregue his case later, maybe after someone actually tries to break in* Starscream: Well, Prowl? Is this something suffiently non-objectionable for you to do? Prowl: ... What, play hide-and-seek with you? Starscream: Cityspeak for Metroplex. 8I Prowl: ... I have no good reason not to. Soundwave: *The tiniest huff. It could easily be mistaken for an overheated system trying to cool itself down.* Prowl: But Metroplex has a cityspeaker. One who actually knows what she's doing. Prowl: What do I offer? Starscream: Windblade works for her own interests, and for the time being you work for mine. Prowl: *... Prowl is quite certain that his interests line up with Starscream's just as little or less than Windblade's do.* Prowl: *BUT that's none of his business. sips his coolant.* Starscream: There is the possibility of Theophany, as Crystal City has no Speaker at all, but if I have my choice I would rather have an eye on Metroplex. Prowl: *doesn't really want to go to theophany. but he supposes he doesn't care THAT much.* Prowl: So—what am I going to do? As cityspeaker. Starscream: For now, continue gathering information on his frame. Like the blueprints you aquired. You can work together with Soundwave in setting up survellance. Starscream: Naturally you'll need to share anything Metroplex thinks is important enough for us to know immediately. Prowl: Like the blueprints I decompressed? Starscream: Yes, exactly. Starscream: More tasks will have to be determined once we sort out Windblade. Prowl: "Sort out"? Soundwave: [[He will require updated movement permissions.]] Starscream: What? ...oh. Those. Starscream: *sighs loudly* Fine. Your holomatter privlages are reinstated. However, invisible guests are still banned. Starscream: If anyone wants to show up at your door they must be detectable through conventional means. Soundwave: [[...Prowl cannot plug in with a holoavatar, Lord.]] Starscream: Travel to and from the workplace was never part of the restriction. Soundwave: [[Acknowledged. Records updated as necessary.]] Prowl: What's my schedule now? Starscream: Will will keep your sessions with Metroplex short until the coolant rig can be built, which shouldn't take long- even less time if your groupies deign to help. Starscream: So for now your main assignment is still the construction yard, with a session either before or after with Metroplex. Prowl: After. Starscream: After, then. Prowl: So for now all I'm getting from him is physical data. Starscream: For now, yes. We don't really know how any of this works yet, so I'm actually attempting something called 'caution'. Prowl: Understood. Starscream: Alright. I'll follow up with the both of you later. Starscream: *gonna LEAVE BYE* Prowl: *there he go* Soundwave: *Soundwave waits a minute to make sure Starscream isn't going to come back* Soundwave: *And then gently whooshes air in Prowl's general direction for attention* Prowl: *glances at* Prowl: ... You said you were taking the blame for... something. For my not understanding some instruction. Prowl: It wasn't your fault, was it. Soundwave: *Wh-- oh. Okay. He was going to ask something, but he can answer this too.* Soundwave: (txt): Partial blame. After review, Soundwave's disconnection order, explanation: insufficient. However, initial response not "not done." True refusal, believed not Prowl's. That, not Starscream's -- Soundwave: business. Also, present Starscream ire: excessive. Unnecessary addition avoided. Not expected problem. Soundwave metrotitan unfamiliarity expressed before test. Prowl: ... You didn't need to distract it from me. But I'm sure you already know that. Soundwave: (txt): ...Prowl took blame after Rodimus bridge exposure. Prowl: Of course. It was my fault he found out. Soundwave: (txt): Original 'fault': Soundwave's. Within expected social structure, Prowl's right: pass all. Different outcome. Ally - Soundwave - guarded. That, not forgotten. Prowl: ... *small nod* Prowl: *wants to argue that soundwave stood to lose far more in rodimus's optics than prowl had stood to lose by shifting the blame over to himself* Soundwave: *Prowl has so much blame on himself he's staring into an abyss and not eating.* Soundwave: *He could stand not to get a pile more.* Prowl: *but prowl's footing with starscream is far more tenuous than soundwave's right now; soundwave could stand to lose a little ground far less than prowl could.* Prowl: *the math checks out.* Soundwave: (txt): More time required here? Movement home desired? ... Would accept travel company? Prowl: I'm sure the guards will be along to transport me back shortly. *Prowl isn't transported anywhere freely.* You can follow them if you can talk them into letting you. Soundwave: *Soundwave shake-laughs* Prowl: *... was that funny?* Soundwave: (txt): Soundwave: security. Starscream gave guard control. Prowl remembers? Talk: unnecessary. If demand: made, demand: obeyed. Prowl: ..................... Right. Prowl: If I'm making mistakes like that, clearly I need to finish my coolant first. Soundwave: (txt): Acknowledged. Take time. Soundwave: *Drifts closer (but not too close) and settles there, biolights dimming while he idles, just watching.* Prowl: *sips. he's not drinking super fast. they might be there for a bit.* Soundwave: *Hey, he's not gonna hurry Prowl back before Prowl's ready to go. That's practically freedom he's drinking right there. He should enjoy it.* Prowl: *he didn't really want freedom. he'll settle for coolant.* Soundwave: *Eh, one step at a time. In any case:* (txt): ...Prowl's building graph: impressive. Rapid, accurate line segment observation, recreation, delivery... Soundwave: (txt): Deployer interpretation assistance required. Prowl's numbers-- Soundwave: *Please hold. Need a word. Need, like, THREE words.* (txt): Mesmerizing, magnificent, exquisite, honor. Soundwave: *...FOUR.* Prowl: ... *awkward shrug* It's what I was built for. Soundwave: *His feeler flicks because he can't form a hand to do it.* Soundwave: (txt): Truth unchanged. Liked, enjoyed. Prowl should know. Soundwave: *Quiets down again.* Prowl: Mm. Prowl: *all right, coolant complete. looks around for somewhere to drop off an empty cube, sees nothing, so just. holds it.* Soundwave: *Holds out feeler* Prowl: ... You're a plane, you don't need to be carrying used cups. Soundwave: (txt): Soundwave: cupholder. #humorous Prowl: Pff. Soundwave: *A PFF. VICTORY.* Prowl: *something in his cheeks is stiff when he not-frowns. it's been a while since he moved those parts.* Soundwave: (txt): Come. Return drive: slow. Excuse given: tired Prowl. However, avatar visit requested when able. That, Soundwave's cube. Return needed. Prowl: ... I'm not going to be *outside,* am I? Prowl: I'm in a transport whenever I'm outside. Soundwave: (txt): ...Transport vehicle arranged if believed necessary. Soundwave: *Though he'd like to know in what universe Prowl could outrun his alt mode or evade Ravage's nose.* Prowl: The public would object to seeing me out in public. Even if I WAS being escorted. Soundwave: *A spiky stream of hatred for the general population and his inability to just brainwash the lot of them without breaking various promises runs through him for a second.* Soundwave: *It's swiftly replaced by a fresh dose of patience and a personal reminder that the general population is panicky and dumb and that's why they need watching in the first place.* Soundwave: (txt): Understood. Transport called. Accompaniment provided. ... Holo visit still requested. Prowl missed. Duties also expanded. Prowl: *nods* Soundwave: (txt): Query: Before immediate area surveillance net reactivated, affectionate action allowed? Prowl: *skeptical look* ... You're a plane. Soundwave: (txt): Outside helm area, Prowl. Prowl: Oh. Prowl: What action? Soundwave: *Displays a shot of one of the times he's pressed Prowl's hand to his 'face'.* Soundwave: *Well aware that avatar privileges may not be the same as physical ones. Avatar privileges don't include telepathy fears.* Soundwave: ((strike the display from the record, leave well aware, continue here:)) Soundwave: (txt): Hand against Soundwave visor, cheek. Prowl: *considers it* Prowl: *... considers it longer* Prowl: *...... is still considering it* Prowl: *......... honestly, the fact that it's taking this long reveals what the answer is, doesn't it?* Soundwave: *Vaguely crestfallen, though he won't let on at all. It's going to be a no, isn't it? Well, that's all right. He does get it. And he got to touch Prowl's mind for a couple of minutes.* Prowl: ... I can turn my avatar on. Soundwave: (txt): ....Accepted. Prowl: ... I'm sorry. Soundwave: (txt): Understood. Avatar preferred against nothing. Soundwave: (txt): Come. Transport approaching. Prowl: *nods, stands, and heads for door* Soundwave: *Will float after* Prowl: *will wait outside for Soundwave. is this far enough for him to transform?* Soundwave: *Soundwave moves a little farther away than that before dropping out of the air and unfolding into himself (and those attached to him).* Prowl: *right. holomatter on, then. Prowl's real body lingers near the wall, perfectly still—watching himself as he walks up to Soundwave* Prowl: *for a moment, he's all polygons. it takes a moment for the textures to boot up.* Soundwave: *Weird, and a little startling, but interesting, in its way. He'll wait until they do.* Prowl: *there. everything ready. reaches most of the way to Soundwave's face and waits for him to reach back. Soundwave: *This is probably one of the strangest things he's ever seen or done, when it comes to... these kinds of things. Seeing both the Prowl he's gotten to know and the Prowl he deeply wishes he could,-- Soundwave: is somewhat jarring, thanks to the major difference in their appearances, but he's not going to change his mind. No. He reaches for the avatar's hand and presses it against his visor,-- Soundwave: silent. Then, suddenly, harder, because for a little while he'd been concerned Prowl would fade before they could find something for him, and a heavy, almost ragged vent.* Soundwave: *He'll let go after that, if reluctantly.* Prowl: *... not yet. presses his hand harder against Soundwave's face* Prowl: *and leans in to tap his helm against Soundwave's* Soundwave: *Oh. Oh! Gonna turn that tap into a quick, firm nuzzle while he has the chance.* Soundwave: (txt): ...Prowl thanked. Prowl: ... For what? Soundwave: (txt): Permission. Soundwave: (txt): Surveillance net reactivated. Soundwave: *Motions onward.* Prowl: *avatar promptly snaps off*

On reading all the stuff about what if ____ buys this emotional support hellsite and you lose your rights to any artwork you post I remind myself that outside of a few doodles I’ve never posted anything “original” that I felt I could monetize in the first place.

All the nice, pretty, finished looking art I’ve posted is based off a reference pic(s) because it’s the stuff I do to keep from killing people. I’m never sure what all rights I have to profit from it in the first place. I share it for the sake of sharing it.

But it does make me feel cautious about what writing I post here if there’s going to be rights kerfuffles. That I have put a hella lotta thinking I can make some money off of it work in to.
