What if Ultra Magnus is in Earthspark?
(Who is really big, bigger than Megatron then got seriously injured and him saying "I'm fine" when the Maltos are being hysterical at the background.)
(What?
Ultra Magnus is Evolving!)
(Also Minimus Ambus slipping out from his suit.)
(He'll be smaller than twitch, which he would be standing there proud and mighty.)
(He then saying sup' to everyone)
Me: Ehhh...why not make it to a meme?
Also me: yeeeEEESSSS
Hahaha I'm still looking for my art style

Do NOT tell a streamer while they are live about upsetting shit.
Just don't. Unless the upsetting shit is 'there is a tornado headed directly for your apartment', they do not need to find out from Chat Rando #27. Especially if that upsetting shit is personally relevant, but even if it isn't!
For one, that person is currently working. Their ability to make money (ie to pay their rent! to buy food!) is directly tied to Entertaining People. You are jeopardizing that by telling them upsetting shit while they are live because it is (unsurprisingly!) hard to keep being funny-goofy after that.
For another, you are forcing this person to modulate and share their reaction to that news live on air. No time to privately process, grieve, look for clarification - nope, that streamer better have a camera-ready reaction instantly. It's a deeply shitty thing to spring on a person - do not fucking do it.

What's happening with Theo Solomon is so, so frustrating and needless and disgusting (more info can be found at this post), and I also want to acknowledge the treatment of Wyll's original voice/mo-cap actor, Lanre Malaolu.
Malaolu gave an excellent performance! His delivery and the way he incorporated mannerisms and posture into Wyll's physicality was amazing. The original characterization of Wyll was written very well and matched the general tone of the wider party/narrative.
And to suddenly have Larian, years into the project, rewrite the character entirely and then re-cast it? To have other actors talk about how Wyll just 'wasn't working' as a character? All because of fan criticism that places ridiculous (and often contradictory) standards and expectations on black characters. Even if the re-cast resulted from scheduling conflicts (as Malaolu couldn't come in to re-record), we lost Malaolu's entire performance because of a rewrite that was simply not necessary.
And after disregarding Malaolu's years of work into this character, the same criticisms that Larian caved into are thrown at Wyll's rewrite, and the same disregard is being seen with Theo Solomon again and again. As someone who started playing early access when it first came out, fans' treatment of Wyll and his actors hasn't gotten better. It's actively gotten worse.

okay because of the differing opinions on @calware's post i had to go and check for myself. after all, we've all heard info passed down the fanon grapevine over the years. so, here it is:
is dave strider right or left handed?
obviously, this being homestuck, character sprites flip like every half a second, so i'm trying to take that into account here. alright, let's plow through an entire comic's worth of dave panels.
in his very first appearance, dave uses a katana from his wall to slash through his name command left-handedly.
he proceeds to use his left hand for many actions he takes in his apartment, including typing.
he then uses his right hand to fistbump cal, open the attic, pick up a sword, and escape the puppet pile. his computer is also set up for his right hand.
so already we've got a lot of switching going on, as to be expected with homestuck. i'm going to just try and focus on "main" shots now and not minute sprite details, since those seem to switch constantly.
dave climbs the staircase after picking up the sword with his right hand. however, when beginning the strife with bro he switches it to his left.
during that fight his sprite (and dominant hand) flips many times. while he is laying on the floor beaten he texts john with his right. once he gets up, he resumes typing with his left.
[EDIT: he pretty much always uses his left hand when texting; there are very few panels where this sprite is flipped.]
during the [s] enter, dave is famously seen drawing a sbahj panel with his mouse right-handedly. he does this again talking to tavros later. his computer setup seems pretty consistent in this way.
during [s] accelerate, dave flips his sword between hands multiple times both in sprite and hero mode.
then, for no apparent reason except for that he probably hates me and wants me to suffer, dave switches his main hand back and forth repeatedly for the entire rest of the comic.
he frequently carries his sword in his right hand, except for stray panels where, when actually using the sword, he favors his left (panels 5 and 8 above). however, this isn’t a case of him only carrying with his right and then using his left to actually wield— because as you can see in panel 9 above, he also uses it right-handedly.
he uses his left hand during the entire fight with jade and bec, but then, switches back to his right during cascade.
during meteorstuck he seems to use his right hand for most activities, including drawing and writing, except for the penis ouija scene, in which he uses his left.
he takes all his selfies with his right hand, then confronts jade with his left hand. his watch is also positioned on his left wrist, which is traditionally an indicator of right-handedness; and he holds his sword in his right again as he absconds.
during the dogfight he makes most of his attacks with his right hand, and switches to his left to parry bec. when he dies in game over, he's holding his sword in his left.
he's using his right hand in essentially all of the non-sprite shots in collide, except for this last big red one.
that's all i've got.
conclusion: ????
in all honesty, he seems to switch between either hand frequently enough that you could make an argument for almost anything. hooray, everyone's headcanons are valid!
though i will say that he definitely uses his right hand more frequently in panels. if you only count panels where he's actually using his sword, it's closer to an even split, but i'd still tentatively say that he favors right more often than not.
the widespread fanon concept that he canonically only uses his right hand while drawing and otherwise uses his left, is unfortunately mostly cheryypicked in terms on panels. but that's not to say it's necessarily wrong. there's too little consistency in the art to definitely call it false
considering he's been seen both writing and swordfighting with his left, you can headcanon whatever the fuck you want! (and let's be honest, he has leftie vibes).
that's all! hopefully this helps someone.
this took way too long to do help
