Hello, I hope it's ok to ask:

How would Mirage react to the Autobots, that are on Earth for the first time, acting condescending toward Noah because he is an organic? Cybertron didn't like organics much to the point of their own version of racism.

Would Mirage be sad, protective, uncomfortable or just plain start to fight them for Noah's honor?

its always ok to ask! :v ❤️

idk if it is "in character" for him but in my humble opinion i think mirage would 100% ready to throw down for his boy. or atleast i would like to see it lol

#transformers #mirage #rotb mirage #sorry for delay #i had a mental health relapse and then got food poisoning #noah diaz #i just wanna see raj defend his BOY YA #autobot decpticon prime quintess green party girl scout what ever dont diss his boy #also sorry its at a wierd angle.... #maccadam #rotb #tf rotb #rise of the beasts #refs used #noah x mirage #norage #miroah #hometeam #sorry hes so hard to draw fr #mirage x noah #i.. think also since he been on earth for a while maybe he sees all the human racism and draws comparison to what was going on pre war #dawg has zero tolerance #thank you for the ask its whats keeping me going in these trying times

For those of you in America, please consider taking this.

This is such an important and - quite frankly - gem of a set of skills, knowledge, and abilities to have. You can take a class and become certified in adult, child, or teen (or all three!) mental health first aid. The classes may be hybrid, in person, or I believe also remote. It teaches you how to handle mental heath crises and can be helpful both for you and for others. And for those of you job searching the added benefit of having a certificate like this on your resume never hurts!

Edit: You do have to pay it looks like - not sure how much depending on where you are and who the instructor is. You may be able to actually look up "mental health first aid" + your county name and find free classes.

[04.12.22] ✧ my little home ft my new 2022-2023 digital planner from @emmastudies

Feeling cozy being inside and resting on the weekend.

I am so happy to share that I have an incredible therapist in Geneva and I have been working out (ya girl joined a boxing club haha what!!). I have also been prioritizing comfort and warmth around me - in the literal sense - and have been wearing looser and comfier clothes, not realizing I had been ignoring my cues on touch sensitivity and overstimulation.

And let me tell you, and I have felt incredibly better.

Like, suddenly I’m less depressed, which is a bit wild because I don’t remember the last time I’ve felt “less depressed”?

Mostly now it’s really a sensation of comfort and warm and soft and looking forward to things and ooh this feels good or yes I can do that. And I feel it really in the center of my body, like in my heart space and solar plexus chakra - like the energy is just radiating! It’s a sensation I hold onto when I go into situations that I know will stress me out.

It’s also a sensation that has helped me feel less anxious about leaving my apartment - an anxiety deeply rooted with the social and physical discomfort of going outside and doing things. Discomfort in the sense of a bit of social anxiety, a bit of exhaustion, most often a discomfort with the temperature, some sort of looming responsibility or deadline (work, school), and the stimulation-saturated overwhelming nature of the public. But I know I am feeling a bit better because this is getting easier for me. ♥️

Anyway, explanations over! I hope all of you are finding some sweet rest and warmth during the change of season. 🤍

realization about eddie’s death

ok so remember when the duffers/st team said that eddie’s death would have major implications/effects for s5?  this might be a stretch but i think those implications could actually tie into a.) gay mike reveal and b.) mike getting vecna’d in some way (not necessarily in the typical way but yknow).  i’ve talked abt this in other posts, which i cant find rn so im gonna explain it again, but mike’s feelings for eddie are also paralled to his feelings for will via the soundtrack and the video store movie poster choices.

  long story short: in s3 and s4, the video store posters each represent a character. Mike’s poster is “coca cola kid,” but WILL’S is “teen wolf,” and the character parallels will in many ways, especially in the way that being a werewolf is DIRECTLY paralleled to being gay in the movie, like the main character literally ‘comes out’ as a werewolf and his friend is like ‘are you gonna tell me you’re a fag?’ and the main character is like ‘no im a werewolf actually.’ so, how does this tie to eddie? teen wolf. teenage werewolf. ‘i was a teenage werewolf’ by the cramps is one of the songs that plays during eddie’s cafeteria scene. but the other song that plays is ‘fever,’ also by the cramps. imo, ‘fever’ is about mike’s crush towards eddie, esp considering the lyrics about love and kissing that play during scenes with mike and eddie specifically, demonstrating that attraction, but then ‘teenage werewolf’ links that attraction to Will, too, and how mike feels the same way about Will that he does about Eddie- caveat, Mike is not ‘in love’ with eddie, but IS with Will, but ‘feels the same way,’ simply in terms of being attracted to both of them/thinking gay thoughts LMAO. plus, there’s also a MOVIE called ‘i was a teenage werewolf,’ just like the song, and just like how teen wolf is a movie. 

and so, i think that the feelings of attraction are shared but also therefore that the feeling of GUILT about both will and eddie is also going to be shared. not just guilt for being interested in will/eddie/guilt for being gay. i don’t think that’s enough for mike to come out/be targeted by vecna and possibly OUTED, something i also talked about in this post in terms of why mike likely wont admit his sexuality and may end up being outed and how that ties into a mike fake death. 

anway, it’s not just guilt over mike’s feeling for will and eddie or his guilt for being gay because imo that’s not quite enough for vecna to end him:  it’s guilt over eddie and will’s disappearances and deaths too.  think about it. two people that mike had gay feelings for. both having died/disappeared due to the upside down. troy’s comments about ‘fairyland’ and tying the deaths of people like will and eddie to queerness. mike, who has enough evidence from lonnie and the bullying to suspect that WILL was gay, and in mikes mind maybe could’ve been targeted for that gayness outside of mike’s feelings for him- but mike doesn’t have much reason to suspect that EDDIE was gay/queer. So, in mike’s mind, if being targeted/killed by the UD is associated with queerness, then where does the queerness come in? oh right. from mike’s crush on him. it’s mike’s fault, in mike’s mind.  Mike, finding out about Eddie’s death in s5, trying to talk with Dustin and Lucas about it, and Dustin’s guilt because he was THERE, trying to save Eddie, and Dustin and Lucas not understanding why Mike seems to feel so guilty, and Mike can’t say it, can’t explain his guilt, so it just festers inside of him just like it did for Max and Fred. 

Vecna’s victims all seem to have some sort of guilt, but the way that vecna approaches people like Fred and Max, who have guilt related to somebody’s death is actually different from the way that he approaches people like Chrissy, who don’t have that guilt related to somebody’s death (and we don’t see his interactions with Patrick, but we do see that Patrick’s guilt/suicidality is tied to disappointing his family and his father’s abuse towards him, rather than towards having been responsible for anyone’s death)  When it comes to Chrissy, he talks about just bringing her suffering to an end. He says “don’t cry, Chrissy. It’s time for your suffering to end.”  When it comes to Max and Fred, though?  To Fred, Vecna just says “I want you to join me.”  To Max, Vecna says “Time for you to join me.” 

People who have guilt about somebody’s death get ‘asked’ to join Henry, but he’s not really asking, he’s TELLING, he’s saying that he wants fred to join him, that it’s TIME for max to join him. And I think that Mike is going to be one of those people, and that Henry is going to ask mike to ‘join him,’ and how that ties into something else I talked abt in this post about how I think that we’re going to get a scene where mike ‘chooses’ to die, so that his suicidality is narratively tied up without having to show him making a typical non supernatural active suicide attempt, and so that Mike gets to fulfill his hero complex. It seems like a choice for Mike, like he’s getting ASKED to join henry, but it’s not really a choice at all, it’s the illusion of choice. Which ties into something I’ve also talked about in regards to mike being suicidal but also pushed towards that suicidality by the actions and attitudes of his family + by the homophobic rhetoric he’s internalized + by the bullying. It’s like how he makes the CHOICE to step off of the cliff in s1, but he’s verbally pushed towards making that choice by the bullies, it’s like the bullies irl who bully queer people to the point of suicide instead of actively murdering them.  We also see a LOT of the red-blue light imagery around mike specifically during the hellfire game: the same red-blue light imagery that we see in eddie’s trailer, and specifically behind eddie, actually, the night that chrissy dies. But why am I bringing this up if i’m saying that Mike is going to get attacked in a different way than Chrissy was/that chrissy’s isnt tied to somebody’s death and Mike’s is? Because it’s an EDDIE death flag, not a chrissy one. Chrissy was already screwed by the time we see those red and blue lights in the trailer, and we see them RIGHT behind Eddie’s head specifically. And so, Mike having that same pattern of lights behind HIS head during the hellfire game? Not only is it a mike death flag tied to Vecna, but it’s a mike death flag tied to EDDIE, the same death flag as eddie, which doesnt mean that he’ll die in the same WAY as eddie, but instead, that Mike’s death will be tied to eddie’s somehow, which fits in with what i’ve said about mike’s guilt about eddie’s death and the links to other deaths + mike’s queerness/feelings for both eddie and will.  It’s also interesting to me that Barb got killed by Henry, but Nancy did not. In terms of queerness, Barb was the one with a crush on Nancy, and it got her killed/targeted by Henry. Mike had a crush on eddie/is in love with Will, and so it may very well result in the same thing, in terms of Henry attacking Mike. 

and again, like i talked about in this post, mike is linked to will’s disappearance via his queerness in terms of being the ‘other queer’ that troy talks about and how the other queer is also henry, yes, but its also mike, and how the ‘flying around in fairyland with all the other fairies’ scene serves to demonstrate that the reason that mike is tied to will’s disappearance via the ‘other queer’ comment and how the bullies start targeting mike right after they talk about the ‘other queer’ and how the scene finally focuses on mike after that to, isnt because mike is the other who kidnapped will, but rather, because he’s also queer. the ‘other fairies’ comment serves to expand the idea of ‘other queer’ beyond Henry, and into people like Barb, too, with the ‘other fairies,’ comment, which means that Mike can be included in ‘other queer/other fairies’ and paralelled to that without ONLY being paralleled to henry bc again the point isnt ‘mike kidnapped will/is like henry,’ the point is ‘mike is also queer.’ As well, with that inital parallel between mike and henry both being the “other queer,” it narratively ties mike to a sense of responsibility/guilt for will’s disappearance, esp since it was mike’s house that Will left, even though it wasn’t his fault. So, Mike’s queerness is tied to will’s disappearance already via Troy’s dialogue choices and the choices of focusing on Mike in those scenes every single time that ‘other queer’ or ‘other fairies’ is brought up. like it doesn’t even focus on mike’s reaction when troy says that will is dead during the first homophobic bullying scene (the one where mike gets pushed), but it DOES focus on mike IMMEDIATELY after queerness is brought into the conversation. again i go into this in way more depth in that linked post.  So my point is: there’s already an existing narrative link between mike’s queerness and will’s disappearance and a sense of guilt. And I think that the same is going to apply to Eddie after Mike finds out about Eddie’s death. And like I talked about in one of the posts I linked, Mike imo is more likely to be outed than to come out on his own terms I think, esp in regards to the themes of his character and his queerness and what his character represents in those regards. So, Vecna attacking Mike based not just on his feelings for Will, but instead his queerness as a whole + a mike fake death? It addresses Mike’s suicidality, it addresses Mike’s sexuality outside of Will, which ties into gay mike and the milkvan breakup and into Byler getting together, but does it in a way where Byler getting together isn’t JUST tethered to the revelation of Mike’s sexuality and instead gets to stand on its own and be about Mike and Will’s love as individuals instead of just ‘oh yeah mike is gay and hes getting with will because will now knows mike’s gay despite the unresolved interpersonal tension between them regardless of sexuality’.  Like again- Mike being queer IS paralleled to the cause of Will’s death/disappearance during those death scenes in S1. The ties are there, not just to Will’s queerness playing a role in his vanishing, but MIKE’S too, with him being featured as soon as the ‘other queer’  is mentioned, or the ‘other fairies,’ are mentioned, and how using both ‘other queer’ and ‘other fairies’ means that mike isn’t SOLELY paralled to henry/his queerness isn’t SOLELY tied to will’s vanishing, but it is tied to it in ADDITION to being tied to the ‘other fairies’ and positioning Mike alongside the victims (like barb and will) instead of just positioning him alongside henry (the other queer comment and the framing of mike immediately after that’s said and how it ties him to henry/ties mike’s queerness to will’s disappearance). 

(obviously mikes feelings for will are way way deeper than his ones for eddie and he just had a crush on eddie but still.) Anyway! Much to think about.

how about headcanon that in past, early in his career at joja corp., dobson passed out from overwork at least once or twice, because he strived to do more of the work given to him in order to increase his efficiency several times over, and to move up the career ladder quickly.

..

Imagine how after a sudden fainting spell, hard and slowly he opens his drooping eyelids and finds himself in the office late at night, practically alone and in a cold sweat from physical exhaustion, and beside him lies another pile of paperwork which he by his own foolish determination took extra.

but even after that, dobson gets up and stubbornly keeps working and working and working to succeed.

#vilka shitpost #eh. #he always strikes me as a determined but overly stubborn man who would make any sacrifice for his own self-improvement #he's willing to fully involve himself in his work and completely ignore that it may simply be detrimental to his physical and mental health #бро реально хочет выполнить пятилетку за одну рабочую смену💀💀 #/ref

Would love to see what the Snivy's Fennekin partner looks like if you'd like to draw them!

This is him! Black backwards bandana with blue eyes, he’s the partner but truly wants Iris (snivy) to learn to love herself. Just a random idea of the hero struggling with mental health in the Pokémon dungeon and still trying to save the world
