#Machine Gun Funk

Full scene below the cut.

Ford woke up early, as he usually did. He was always late to bed and early to rise. Four to six hours of sleep was plenty, any more would be an indulgence. There were always so many more productive things to do than sleep, like looking for ways to help his companion out of his funk.

Fiddleford hadn’t been himself since the gremloblin attack. He was jumpy and skittish, more so than he ever was before. Ford had mixed up the Rubik’s cube his friend kept on his desk days ago. Fiddleford never left it unsolved whenever he caught it scrambled. He’d solve it in a matter of seconds, no matter what Ford attempted. The fact Fiddleford had left it unsolved for so long was certainly a poor sign. 

Meditation hadn’t helped. Something startled Fidds in the process, whatever nightmare was haunting him. He had a minor breakdown. Ford had no idea what he was doing. He was trying his best to be supportive, but it hurt. It hurt seeing someone he cared so deeply for so frightened and in pain, and feeling powerless to take that pain away.

A couple of days ago, Fiddleford had come to him with an especially worrying invention. A memory gun, something to erase whatever horrifying vision had fried his nerves. The machine was a nightmare of its own. It was horribly unsafe. The design was a far cry from Fiddleford’s best work. He was usually so thoughtful and secure with his designs. He was slipping. Ford hated to imagine what kind of damage Fidds could have done to himself if he’d actually tried using the damn thing. Thankfully, Ford was able to talk some sense to him, and Fiddleford disposed of the gun. 

Nonetheless, it was a sign that Ford needed to keep trying. He needed to find something healthy that worked before Fiddleford resorted to something drastic. 

“Rise and shine, bud. Time for our morning workout.” Ford smiled wide as he flicked on the lights in Fiddleford’s bedroom.

Fidds hissed and pulled his pillow over his head. “I finally got some sleep….” His protests were muffled under the pillow.

“Oh, that’s great!” Good to hear Fidds was finally sleeping again. “Then you should be rested enough for some stretches and a light jog.”

Fidds peered at Ford from under his pillow. His upturned nose poked out of the covers like a little pig snout. “Since when has it been our morning workout?” he asked wryly. 

“Since today.” Ford rested one hand on his hip while he counted his reasons on his other hand. “I think it’d do you some good. A morning jog always helps clear my head,” he proposed, holding up a finger. “I think it would be fun to work out together.” Two fingers. “And besides, you’re out of shape anyway.” Three fingers turned to one as he pointed down at his friend with a mocking click of his tongue and a faux look of shame on his face. “Too many years away from the farm, I reckon.” He twanged playfully.

“Aw, now yer just makin’ fun o’ me!” Fidds propped himself up on his arms. The pillow slid off his messy bedhead in the process.

“Who me? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Ford batted his lashes and held a hand over his heart.

A pillow went flying across the room. Ford dodged it easily with an ear-to-ear grin. Fiesty. That was a good sign.

Fidds groaned and pulled himself upright. “Uhg… yer not gonna let up till I agree, are ya?”

Ford gave the question some serious consideration, only fully registering the sarcasm after he gave his answer. “Probably not, no,” he told him honestly. 

Fidds rubbed his eyes and dragged his face down with his hands. He looked back at Ford like he was melting from his fingertips. He stared at him like he was waiting for something.

Ford only stood there waiting to see what Fidds needed.

“Well, git!” Fidds pointed to the door. “Least let me shower, shit, and shave. Danm.” 

Ford chuckled and raised his hands in surrender. “Right, sorry. Put something comfy on and meet me in the living room.”

Fidds sighed and rolled his eyes. A soft smile tugged at his lips. Ford liked that smile. That mix of affection and exasperation. There was security in that smile.

When Fiddleford did meet him down in the living room, it was clear he hadn’t fully grasped the assignment. He walked past Ford, who was sitting on the floor, to go make coffee in the kitchen.

“Hey, over here!” Ford protested as he was ignored. 

“It’s six in the mornin’, coffee first!” Fiddleford called back.

“Coffee when we’re done. Put the pot on and come over here.” He cocked a knee and leaned against it while he waited for Fidds. Wearing his workout shorts and a light black t-shirt. He already had his jogging shoes on. They were in better shape than his usual work boots since they were only used for these morning runs on well-worn trails. 

Fidds, on the other hand, came back in a sweaty wifebeater and boxers with little red hearts.

“I told you to get dressed,” Ford scolded.

“I ain’t naked.” Fidds rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

“You're not going jogging in your underwear, are you?” 

“Yeah, that ain't happenin’.” Fidds sat down on the living room carpet next to Ford. “I'll meet ya halfway, but I ain't going for a run in a forest full o’ weird monsters before sun up.” 

“The only anomalous creature you're likely to spot on my route is a gnome or two. They're harmless.” Ford dismissed with a hand wave.

“It ain't happenin’.” 

“Alright, that’s fine. We'll work up to it. For now, let's just start with a light warmup.” Ford offered.

Fidds sighed but conceded. The exercises weren't anything too difficult. Ford wasn't having Fiddleford lift weights, and the jog had already been shot down. Even then, Fidds was struggling by the second set. He was far less flexible than Ford expected for someone so thin. Ford often found himself assisting, holding Fiddleford's body in various positions while he wheezed from the strain. Red-faced and sweaty and huffing.

“Breathe, Fidds.” Ford kept warning him. “You're going to pass out like that.” 

Ford decided to wrap up their session with a sixty-second plank. A simple exercise. He just had to hold the position for a minute. It couldn't be easier.

“Back straight, Fidds.” Ford lifted himself up onto his fingers while Fiddleford was bracing himself on his forearms. Ford was outstretched parallel to his friend, observing his form.

“I am straight dammit!” Fiddleford huffed. His face turned red as beads of sweat dripped from his nose. He was, in fact, not straight. His rear raised slightly above where it should have been. Bending his body at an off angle.

Ford broke his plank and sat up to help him. “No, your ass is up.” He corrected gently. Despite Fidds' repeated bluster and frustration, Ford had remained patient with him. While he could no longer relate to the struggle, he still remembered how it felt when he started working out. That weak, impotent feeling, sweaty and winded and ashamed of himself.

He placed one hand on Fiddleford's stomach and another on his lower back. Slowly lowering his but till his body was a straight line from his shoulders to his toes. “There, now you're straight.”

A couple of seconds passed, and Ford realized Fiddleford had stopped breathing. His cheeks puffed up, and his eyes widened as he turned redder and redder. 

“Breathe, Fidds!” Ford patted his back.

Fiddleford gasped as he freed the breath he was holding and struggled to suck in more air. “Please… tell me… we're done-” he wheezed.

Ford checked his watch and observed the second hand as it ticked by. “Almost. Halfway there. Just keep it up a little longer.” He rubbed little assuring circles into Fidds lower back with his other hand while he counted the seconds, holding his form.

Eventually, the minute passed, and with the final tick, “Now, now you can stop.” 

Fiddleford gasped and collapsed into a sweaty, heaving heap on the floor. “Thank… the… lord… Stanferd… I… Hate… You!”

Ford looked at his friend and blinked briefly before realizing that Fidds was being facetious. He broke out laughing and patted Fidds' back. “Aw, come on, buddy. It couldn’t have been that bad. You did well.”

“Hogwash!” Fiddleford spat. Too tired to pull his face off the floor. He only turned his head with his cheek mushed into the carpet as he shot daggers at his friend. “Yer a shit liar Stanford. Don’t even try.”

“Alright, alright,” Ford apologized. “Look, there may be some room for improvement-” 

“May be?!” Fidds bocked.

“I’ll go easier on you next time,” Ford promised. 

Fiddleford buried his face in the carpet and groaned. “There’s gonna be a next time, huh?”

Ford merely smiled. He didn’t need to say anything. He knew Fidds could feel it from a mile off. Fiddleford groaned louder in reply.

[souridealist]

my wife and I went on an extensive spiral about Young Justice (tv) characters and their music opinions

SEASON ONE TEAM:

Kaldur is fucking hilarious because the music he found as a teenager is heavily Atlantean and surface music with a similar vibe to Atlantean, so a lot of new age Enya-type stuff... but his nostalgia music, the stuff he grew up with, is his dad's classic West Coast rap. He is fucking banned from the aux unless he swears off Shuffle All because otherwise you will cut from Orinoco Flow to Machine Gun Funk.

M'gann could not possibly be more obviously a Swiftie (not the kind who starts weird shit on Twitter, though, she has superheroics to do). In later seasons she starts picking up a lot of critical-darling pop too, huge Carly Rae Jepsen fan. Every few months she has, like, three days of blasting Riot Grrl.

Artemis's favorite artist is Kesha but it really takes the Kesha revival for her to admit this about herself. (One time she walked in on Wally singing along to Tik Tok full-throated and word-perfect and she had to go scream into a pillow about how much she hated that she liked everything happening there.) Other than that she's very into the Billie Eilish, Phoebe Bridgers type sad art pop.

Also both Artemis and Jade grew up listening to Sportsmaster's dad rock, with Sportsmaster very much being the "why are you even talking about how some of these guys were creeps and assholes. this is not a nuanced separate-art-from-artist position, why do you CARE, who CARES" type. Artemis finds out that Bruce Springsteen has in fact been a real one since the 70s and it feels like the entire universe flipping her dad the double bird.

Wally listens to white boy rap. You know it to be true. This man has too much Eminem. He is less embarrassed than Artemis about liking Kesha but still kinda embarrassed about how much he likes Kesha; they kinda go on that journey together. He's not so into Artemis's artsy stuff but he picks up some of their cheerier/more fun numbers, like he likes "Bad Guy.'

Connor honestly just listens to whatever's on. Like, he likes having music but he genuinely truly does not care what it is, he just likes filling up the silence. Results in him mostly sharing M'gann's taste just because that's what he gets the most exposure to; after he and Superman are on better turns he starts picking up Pa Kent's outlaw country too.

Dick is always going to be a performer at heart; at the end of the day his priority is that he wants something you can move to. His iPod tends toward the kind of thing that has 37 genre labels stuck on it at once but one of the labels is usually R&B or neo-soul or something like that. Likes energetic or dreamy stuff; music isn't where he goes for emotional catharsis, his angst soundtrack is silence.

Zatanna likes all the bands that were doing steampunk burlesque aesthetic music videos in the early 2010s, although they do lose points with her if they take themselves too seriously. Never, ever, ever going to outgrow her love for A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.

Rocket I have to admit I do not have a great read on; we're not done with s4 so I'm hoping she gets enough screen time for me to get a better sense of her? I am however quite sure that she grabs M'gann by both hands and is like M'gann. Honey. Sweetheart. Let me give you Beyonce 101. You need to know.

Roy-later-Will Harper is the exact kind of guy who talks enormous amounts of shit about Linkin Park because at some deeply repressed level of his soul he knows that he is exactly one different turn in his life away from being really, really into Linkin Park.

This is confirmed when original Roy | Arsenal comes back and gets really, really into Linkin Park. (In fairness to him, he's having fun with it.)

Lost Lights New Killer Pet Part 2

Rodimus had pet Xenomorph's but that didn't really work out but Rodimus still really wanted a pet, so while out on a short scouting with Megatron he thinks he found the perfect little predator for him.

Link to part 1. Original post by @michaela-o

Rodimus was in a funk, it had been a week since he had to get rid of his little pet Xenomorph's and he missed them. Sure he now new what could have happened if a Xenomorph gets a hold of a human and safe to say he didn't want that to happen to y/n, but he still really liked the little killing machines.

Rodimus was sulking in his bedroom holding one of the little shirts he made for his xenos between his digits wishing he could pet them, feel them rub up against his neck cables as he works. Rodimus was soon snapped out of his daydreaming by a call from Megatron.

Rodimus had answered Megatrons urgent call hearing something about a SOS signal and having to check it out. So Megatron and Rodimus geared up and headed out in for the SOS signal.

After a cycle of searching the strange surface of this earth like planet they located the SOS signal finding a slightly overgrown crashed autobot prison transportation ship. Both co-captains looked to one another before readying their respective weapons and headed inside.

Rodimus and Megatron slowly made their way down the dark halls of the ship, clearing every room checking for any survivors. Only to find strangely nothing, energon was spilled and staind the floors but no signs of a body.

Megatron continued down a hall coming across the the ships control room. Rodimus followed Megatron inside only to gasp and cover his intake in fear of purging his systems Megatron holding a shocked look to his face seeing decepticon bodies hanging upside down from a tree that had crashed through the front of the ship, some heads were on strange metal spears, energon dripping down onto the floor where they both stood.

Rodimus heard a rustling from within part of the tree quickly trying to track it with his gun but unable to see anything, Megatron saw a bluish shimmer out of the corner of his optics and tracked where he would assume the creature was shooting and earning a deafening silence.

Something wasn't right about this place, Something was wrong, this wasn't normal something was here with them. Rodimus was about to tell Megatron they should leave but he felt something pierce his armor around the back of his neck, letting out a sharp pained scream. Megatron whipped around slapping the strange creatures that was on Rodimus's back causing it to be flung to the ground but quickly getting to it's feet with a strange growl.

Megatron pulled a strangely cybatronian looking spear out from Rodimus's neck, Rodimus turned to look at the creature finding it intriguing. Rodimus reached over and attempted to grab the creature only for it to dodge him with Incredible ease, a few more attempts and he still couldn't catch this creature until Megatron trapped it in a empty energon cube while Rodimus tried to grab it again.

The creature let out a loud angry roar as it attempted to brake itself cage, it slashed at the empty energon cube it's blades unable to cut through. Megatron closed the cube trapping the angry creature inside, both bots watching as the creature began to almost thrown a tantrum inside or at least that's what it looked like to Rodimus.

He quickly took the cube and watched as the creature inside as it aimed a small canon like device on it's shoulder at his helm and shot only to have it hit the wall of the cube with little damage. Rodimus carefully picked up the cube turning to Megatron, "what is this creature?" Megatron turned to watch the creature, "I'm unsure best course of action is to take it to Brainstorm for examination and to see what this weapon is made of."

Rodimus and Megatron continued exploring the crashed ship finding some remnants of a Xenomorph hive but nothing else of note so they headed back to the Lost Light. Megatron dropped of the strange equipment they found off to Brainstorm while Rodimus took the creature to Ratchet to check if it was injured.

Ratchet didn't know what he was looking at, After looking through every data pad he had on off world creatures he couldn't find this species. This creature was entirely new and undiscovered species. The creature didn't seem to be injured but it was incredibly angry from being tied down so he could examine it.

Soon Rodimus was taking the creature to his room promising Ratchet he would take care of this new species until it could be properly cataloged. Rodimus happily settled the creature into it's new home, he didn't know if the Xenomorph terrarium he had would work but he assumed it should work. The little creature banged and slashed at the glass walls but it was hopeless he was now a pet.

Megatron was escorting the human liaison y/n to Rodimus's room, she new about the Xenomorph's so he thought it would be somewhat wise to let them take a look. Megatron and y/n walked into Rodimus's room and y/n erupted with laughter Megatron could see why the creature they found was currently getting dressed up by Rodimus.

The yautja roared at y/n trying desperately to save whatever honor he had left, y/n giggled and nodded before turning to the co-captains and began to explain. The creature was called a yautja or as humans called them predators. The co-captains were informed about the yautjas way of life and honer code, learning how they deal with disrespect Rodimus quickly took the captured yautja out of the clothes he had made and gave him back his weapons letting him leave peacefully.

Rodimus was slightly upset that he was yet again unable to have a pet. Brainstorm walked in with his findings showing the spear that yautja had was made of living cybatronian metal, Rodimus and Megatron shared a terrified look wondering what bot was killed for that blade and knowing they never wanted to meet that predator again. Rodimus wondered would he ever find a pet for him?

[kristines-galaxy-of-blackholes]

Hi, Kristine!! ✨ for the music ask : Nothing But Thieves, Depeche Mode, Cocteau Twins and Portishead please. Thank you!!

ooh lots of good ones, these will be difficult choices, and not necessarily in order just the 5 at the top generally

Nothing but Thieves:

I genuinely love every single song they've ever done including covers, all four albums take up the top 4 sports of my most played albums and I listen to them 5 times more than the artist listen to 2nd most (the ONLY song I don't like is this weird feature called @ tddybear). If you asked me again tomorrow I'd answer totally different but..

Top 5: Members Only, I Was Just a Kid, Phobia, Tempt You (Evocatio), Forever & Ever More

Depeche Mode:

This is my second most played artist, so still really tough choices. Im not as much of a completionist here, so I really only listen to the albums from Some Great Reward to Ultra plus the song Dream on so...this is a Just Cant Get Enough hate zone I'm sorry

Top 5: Dream On, Blasphemous Rumors, New Dress, Behind the Wheel, World in My Eyes

Cocteau Twins:

I admit I need to listen to them more and do a proper deep dive! But from my liked list we have...

Top 5: Wax and Wane, Cherry-coloured Funk, Heaven or Las Vegas, Serpentskirt, Pandora

Portishead:

I don't listen nearly as much as I should but my favorites are...

Top 5: Roads, Nylon Smile, Seven Months, Cowboys, Machine Gun

Thanks for the ask!!

[thedawningofthehour]

didn't you say you were making Draxum's house in the sims? Did you ever finish? :(

So I whined about this on my main blog, but I'm having issues with my computer. The power port, and I've noticed this for a while, gets extremely hot whenever I try to run anything more intensive than Powerwash Simulator, and the past few months it's become harder and harder to get it to charge. (I'm not overclocking or anything-I bought this computer for gaming and made sure it had the specs to run shit like my heavily modded Skyrim and Fallout, it should be able to run Sims) I contacted Acer about a repair and they quoted me over eight hundred dollars. The actual computer was about 1200-1300, for comparison. There's other issues with it as well-there's a chip on the screen that's really obvious on a white background, and they advertised that it would support a second hard drive, but it's never recognized the one I bought. The power port is the most grievous though, and power ports on laptops are notoriously hard to repair.

And this computer isn't old. I bought it last spring. Less than a year and a half-and I've barely been gaming on it because I've been writing this, so I spent over a thousand dollars on a turtles fanfiction machine essentially. (there's been other reasons, depression funk caused a complete disinterest in gaming and after so many mass shootings I've started feeling guilty whenever playing games with guns, but writing is mostly what I've been using this expensive gaming PC for) I only had the one-year warranty that came with the computer, but honestly I can't find it in myself to regret that too much because I have never once had a company actually honor a warranty. It's like safety deposits on apartments or insurance claims-they'll do everything they can to weasel out of doing what they're supposed to.

So back to your question-I currently don't trust my computer to run the Sims. Or anything else. And I can afford to buy another gaming PC right now, but it would be financially pretty irresponsible. I returned the tablet I bought to draw with, and I think I'm going to get one of those two-in-one laptop/tablets so I can use it for drawing and writing. Maybe I'll be able to run the Sims 4 on that-it doesn't have to run great, I use it mostly as a building simulator. Kind of sucks though, Crusader Kings 3 came out with another expansion pack and the new Cities Skylines is coming out this fall, plus I've been getting a hankering to play Skyrim again.

But enough about my computer woes, I do think I have some screenshots I could show...

First floor, I apparently took these during the first round of building because I made a lot of changes. The lab is way bigger now, and I have the rest of the house shell done. The blank space in the back right is where I was going to put in the multi-story room where the turtles find the weapons-which is probably the least completed part of the entire house because holy hell the building controls do not want to work with me.

But in the back left you can see Cass and Gale's rooms! :)

I do like how the main hallway turned out. I know it was mostly destroyed on Creation Day, but let's just say Draxum redid it in the same style. The middle picture, that's the little storage room that hides the door to the part of the house where Gale's room is. If you know the Sims you can tell where the secret door is.

And yes, I know the half-walls under the stairs look ridiculous, I've fixed it since then. I couldn't just extend the half-wall all the way back because it would delete the upper staircase, for some reason.

I'm pretty proud of how the living room is turning out. Could be a little bigger, but the symmetry of the bookshelves are just too perfect. (also the curved walls get fussy, FUCK CURVED WALLS) Needs some clutter on the mantle though.

The kitchen no longer looks like this, I moved around a lot of the pictures and added another layer of cabinets, because Draxum probably has like six sets of fine china he's received as gifts throughout the years and refuses to part with. I added more retro-looking décor, because the last time he remodeled this room was in the sixties and I wanted it to look a little old-fashioned. I also imagine he refuses to get an electric stove, saying his mystic wood-burning stove works just fine. I tried to work a pantry in, but it didn't really pan out. (lol) And the more I think about it, he probably has a legit larder somewhere in the basement, since Draxum is from a time before refrigeration and would have grown up storing food in underground cellars. (and he deffo has like several years worth of food stored away, he's pretty much a doomsday prepper)

This is also incidentally the layout of the kitchen at my old house, hence the weird octagon dining area. Except we had windows. With no curtains. In the woods. It was unsettling to cook at night.

Draxum's study is bigger now, and I think I added a fireplace? He absolutely has eight bazillion degrees and awards and he puts them ALL on his wall. He earned that shit, dammit.

His bedroom's nothing to write home about. It's comfortable, not luxurious. There's no electric lights because he prefers candlelight.

Just imagine that white bathroom counter stained with pink splotches from Draxum's hair dye.

I had BARELY done anything with the pool, but as you can see it is indeed a tank. Draxum was planning to keep a mutant or something in there.

I was actually in the process of redoing the entire greenery lol, but I think I did an okay job on 1.0. Not the mason jar lamps though, I'm not sure what I was thinking there.

Some pictures of Lab 1.0. The ooze-vine-thing looks terrible; I straight up haven't even started to recreate it in 2.0. I pushed back Draxum's alchemy area and gave him an actual medical bay in the back, which is where The Table would have been located.

That's mostly Gale's area on the left, I think it still broadly looks this way? I didn't put in stuff like the robotics table because it just looked silly-and besides, we're not actually playing this build. We know Galois only needs two hands and a welder to make a robot.

I will leave you off with a slightly more clutterfied Gale's room! Oh, but also, I GOT PURPLE CC CURTAINS FOR HIM. :D After I took this picture, but just know he has them now. He has no reason to have them because he does not have a window, but I'm happy for him.
