how i (personally) play dynaball and win more or less live to the end

this is very long sowwy óωò

i have to make it very clear. that this isn't a tutorial and these are probably not the best plays you can do, ever. this is just how *I* play and what *I* noticed while playing. more like advice i guess. you can do whatever you want forever and win too. ok? remember this please before you try to kill me <3 also i play more passively overall AND THEN I CLUTCH THE END OF THE GAME THAT'S RIGHT WOOOOOOO. i stay shifted most of the time and i'm often in f5

I think of dynaball as more of a strategy game than anything else, with where you stand, where you move to, how you use items etcetera. having good aim is good but dynaball aim is a bit strange so practice is the best way to get better at it. and awareness is so so so important. basically the whole game is awareness based. don't get too caught up in trying to aim that you forget to check around you and get voided

🟢start of the game- GLHF. don't stand in the front of the map and get stuck immediately thankz(i try to stand in the back in general -> harder to aim if farther away) in most maps i can hide behind blocks to avoid this, so that's what i do (i can share my spots in another post if anyone is interested lol) try to grab blocks from the first tnts but everyone will do this so you will get targeted too. getting levi-ed up by sparkly blocks right at the start kind of sucks bc you get no blocks from the explosion and you can't do anything for like 10 full seconds. plus there isn't any blocks to levi up to and you just fall back where you started

⭕mid game- i do 2 things: look where crate lands and get them (if it's safe) and stay more or less hidden or anyway not much movement = less targeted. it's easier to notice those 6 pixels moving across the map than those 6 pixels not moving (my theory)

✅peace time- watch out for tnts shot late that'll get you in peace time. then build and get crates. right as peace time ends players all come out and try to shoot anything that moves with the crates they got on the break. i usually hide right before peace time ends so i don't get targeted and after a few seconds that everyone shoots their shot, i shoot mines. less risk of getting stuck. you can also stuck people that are aiming in this short time

🕺standing- if you're on a raised platform try to stand on the side that has ground below it. in general, always try to stand on something that has ground below it for when you fall

BUT ALSO! if you stand on the platform with nothing below/attached to it(like a pillar) it'll be harder to aim and hit. like this

The sides can be easily destroyed if you stand there bc there are blocks below to aim at but in the center there's nothing to hit other than the platform itself and most tnts aiming at you there will miss (depending on opponents lol) ideally there will be still some ground way below you so if you get hit it's not tragedy

Speaking of platforms/safe spaces and standing. try to not bunch up all together or you'll all be easy targets. when there's a big enough platform that you can space out enough you can use that, but if a solo player built a 9x9 and you don't have blocks to expand, do not go there too, or the next tnt will be sent in your direction for a nice double kill. short version: don't stand close to each other and try to spread out over the map to reduce targeting and risk of getting stuck👍

🧨shooting tnt- general idea is to shoot at the people on the bottom(spawners and powder bomb too) and use items for those at the top (tnt drops, airstrike, line charges, powder bomb and cannon if you can aim) for easier aim and more damage reason. if you're very low and the top platform is very high up it becomes almost impossible to hit your tnt shots. usually the players on the lower side have more surface -> more places for crates to land, good idea to try and kill them first, plus they're closer to the void and don't have anything to clutch on if they fall. try to stick players that are aiming themselves as they're probably standing still for a few seconds. on pillars and sky bases trying to aim at the head can be a bad idea as they can easily move out of the way, often it's just better to aim for the blocks they're standing on

If you're standing on a single block pillar and they're trying to shoot at your head you can often dodge it by shifting to the opposite side of the block (stay shifted to A side when you're getting targeted and watch who's shooting you to dodge it)

Got stuck? surely by this point you're aware of what's around you :) run away from other people if possible, keep moving after the first explosion and after the second. now that it's over you can pick up blocks and/or get to a safe spot

You got stuck while pillaring up? look down at where you are. most of the time a single stuck won't kill you. after the first explosion keep pillaring and do the same after the second. your pillar progress will prob be reset but you're not dead!

🌉bridging/pillaring- 🚨🚨🚨i am Not good at bridging. i can't speed bridge, of any kind. remember this while reading this part🚨🚨🚨

Unless i have like 2/3 stacks of blocks on me i don't do skybases multiple blocks thick. and i don't start pillaring up for it until i have at least around a stack and 32 blocks (number can vary based on where i'm standing (on the y axis)). i try to bridge only where there's ground below in case of a fall

Since there are line charges remember to break up your bridges, something like this is how i do it (often with bigger "holes" too, just an example :p )

When i have more blocks i expand it in this way. a good platform that's less expensive than a full one, it's safe from line charges and if a crate is falling between the lines you can place a block and grab it

Real example what my sky bridge looks like at the end of a game, after many repairs, and with the help of my teammate (ty ty) (i was on the right side they were on the left. my side is more segmented than theirs. i also had less blocks than i would have liked)(and see how we stayed on opposite side of the platform? that's what i was talking about with not bunching up :D)

I use the same principle for pillaring up. 4/5 blocks straight up then i change direction, either back and forth or in a spiral. immune to line charges and you have more ground to land on after a tnt. i stand in the middle of the 2/4 blocks while shooting to minimize the blocks fallen when hit by tnt

These are just the measures i use but you can change it up obv, you can go up ten then change direction idk. do what feels better for you

If you can do better bridging or blocks placing yay!!!! happy for you. i can't so this is just what works for me. you might have to ask someone else for advice that works for you lol :3

items! ✨🎇🎉🎆

📦overall on spawners- try to stick them in hard to reach places so they're harder to break, like on the vertical side of platforms, or above where the team is sitting. if you manage to get close enough to one you can kill the 2 mob spawns quickly and break it before the next cycle... sometimes. just keep trying until you get a slow spawn :p easier way is to have 2 people, one breaks it the other kills the mobs. for this you need a friend or a smart teammate tho. so when you see someone trying to break a spawner near you, stay close by and kill any mobs that spawn. if the spawner is placed at the front of the map it's very possible the other team will destroy it with tnt eventually, so don't go to break an isolated (or semi isolated) spawner at the front of the map, you Will get targeted

🌳creeper spawner- ideally place them on the side of a flat platform so they can walk and target people away from the spawner itself(goes for basically all spawners too) and they don't blow it up immediately. 90% of the time,, they will blow it up immediately. the easier to break as creepers wait a bit before exploding at you. another option is to just let the creeper explode and destroy the spawner themselves, only do this if you have enough ground or the explosion won't do big damage. pillar up if there isn't enough ground 😬

🦴skelly spawner- very beautiful very powerful. place above the opponents or high up anyway, since they shoot tnt, this way they HOPEFULLY don't shoot it straight back down where the spawner is (: to counter: KILL THE MOBS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. even a single skelly roaming can be disaster. i've seen so many people just run past skeletons and let them shoot Multiple tnts 😭 like are we just griefing now

🧟‍♂️zombos spawner(ew word)- multiple of these guys will throw you off the map at the first chance they get <3 they can't wait to void you <3 #insaneknockback. place on the bottom platform where the people above will fall on; or at walking distance like the creepers. to counter: good luck o7 (kill fast and break before next spawn cycle) if there are many, run or pillar up as best as you can to get away. you are not winning the 1v10

🧹powder bomb- spleef time!!! can also be used to destroy crates. not much to say about this one. idk. try not to stand at the bottom of the map on a 1 block thick platform i guess

🐔air strike- on a diagonal usually does more damage. place it anywhere and it'll work, except where it's just void. when you hear the chicken look up to see if it's coming for you. if yes: Do Not Get Stuck. Move.

🔫rocket cannot (the gun)- so fucking hard to aim omg what is that. good to knock down players high up. only shoot it when there's nothing in front of you, NOTHING. it has the hitbox of a house or smth. and explosions will curve your shot so wait for a calm time too. counter: levi. period. (if you're on a sky base and get shot once and survive you'll prob get shot again, can try running back and forth or move to a safer platform before you get shot)

🥂jump and speed pots- jump pot is really good for end game or for when you're the last one alive (you'll get targeted hard and the ability to get back up fast is essential to stay alive). i never drank a speed pot in my life. idk you can bridge with them? no idea

🥛levi- ideally only use when you're falling in the void. i play safer until i have at least one on me, after that i start doing some more risky plays (getting a crate that's exposed/in a "easy to aim at" position; bridge out over void; standing in the part of the sky base that has no ground below; ecc)

🔩line charge- after 5 games of dynaball nobody does straight single block bridges anymore.. and if they are you can kill them :D. good to stop someone from pillaring. still good for bridges. hold onto it until there's a pillar or bridge as shooting in on the full platform doesn't do much (if you think you can survive until that happens)

💥tnt drop- might be the best item right after levis. sky base? tnt drop. pillaring? tnt drop. standing on a single block that's hard to aim at? tnt drop. i try to save these for a good opportunity too, usually mid game when people start skybasing it up. a tnt drop is about to fall on you what do you do? a)move b)move c)move d)get stuck by it. you can answer d) only if you're on a pillar and there's no ground around you ❤

CLOSING ADVICE

don't steal other people's crate :3 or they will hate you :3 and they will try to blow you up intentionally :3

literally be nice. dynaball is a team game so let other people on your team get crates too #share. we're playing to have fun not to win (winning is very fun too but also we're playing to have fun!!)

Radio Silence | Chapter Eighteen

Lando Norris x Amelia Brown (OFC)

Series Masterlist

Summary — Order is everything. Her habits aren’t quirks, they’re survival techniques. And only three people in the world have permission to touch her: Mom, Dad, Fernando.

Then Lando Norris happens.

One moment. One line crossed. No going back.

Warnings — Autistic!OFC, silverstone 2021, racing injuries, detailed description of a panic attack, angsty as heck

Notes — Uh....... welcome to the Silverstone chapter (im sorry)

Want to be added to the taglist? Let me know! — Peach x

2021 (Silverstone) 

In the days leading up to Silverstone, Lando filmed a video for Quadrant. Amelia sat just out of shot, watching the gameplay unfold with a grin that said, this is ridiculous, and I’m having the best time watching you all make fools of yourselves. When Lando stacked it and landed awkwardly on his arm, she was there in an instant, fussing over him.

A small portion of the clip made it into the final edit. Her on her knees, laughing, while Lando pouted dramatically, waving his arm around like it was much a more dramatic injury than just a scratch. It was lighthearted, sweet. 

Everyone went crazy for it.

WhatsApp — 2021 F1 Groupchat

Lando N. Quick question. does anyone have any spare gloves?

Valtteri B. Like... racing gloves?

Lando N. Nah, just regular gloves. Leather, ideally.

George R. I’ve got some driving gloves in my car.

Pierre G. Of course you do.

George R. What’s that supposed to mean?

Pierre G. Nothing, nothing.

Lando N. Can you bring them to me? Amelia’s a bit icky about touch today, thought gloves might help. We’re heading to the track now and I couldn’t find any at my parents' place.

George R. Yeah, I’ll give them to Will.

Lando N. 👍

—

It wasn’t a stim. It wasn’t a meltdown.

It was just… discomfort.

She sighed in relief as Lando slid the brown leather gloves onto her hands. She swallowed, wiggling her fingers and letting the tension bleed from her shoulders.

The leather was soft and probably expensive, considering the gloves were George’s.

Lando squeezed her hands. “Better?”

She nodded, smiling. “They match my boots.” She held her gloved hands next to her knees, where her brown riding-style boots reached.

He snorted, laughing softly. “I don’t think George planned that, but I’m glad you feel fashionable, baby.”

Amelia glanced over her shoulder. Daniel wandered over, wiggling his eyebrows. “Excited for your home races, mate?” The question was aimed at Lando.

Amelia watched Lando, noticing how his face shifted; something complicated, something soft, but also guarded.

“Yeah. Just want to do well,” he shrugged, his smile a little too tight.

She frowned, instinctively leaning in. “You will.”

His smile flickered, uncertain. “I hope so.”

—

Max didn’t ask about the gloves. He just wrapped his arm around her shoulder and dragged her into his driver’s room, ignoring her confused protests.

He slammed the door, sat on the cabin bed, and stared at her.

She hovered, uncertain, glancing at the door before looking back at him. “Um…”

“I want to tell her the truth,” he said, eventually.

She stared at him for a beat, trying to decode his words, and then, slowly, her eyes widened. “You— I thought you told her months ago! Are you serious?” She choked out.

Max winced, rubbing the back of his neck. “I know. I know I should’ve done it sooner, okay? But I— I didn’t want to spoil it…”

Her anger flared, a sick heat bubbling in her stomach. “I told you to tell her the truth. That I’d hate to be lied to like that. And you carried on?” She was trembling. “So…. What. She still has no idea? About you, about all of this?”

He lowered his gaze, shame written across his face.

Amelia took a deep breath, stepping back. “I can’t even look at you. How could you—” She choked, nauseous, thinking of the girl who had no idea she was about to be dragged into this mess. “Has she told you she loves you?”

He was silent.

She let out a pained sound, high-pitched and sharp. “I don’t want to talk to you right now. Just… pass your thoughts on the car after practice to GP, yeah?”

Then she turned and walked out, her body coiled tight, her mind a storm.

—

She stormed through the garage, ignoring the stares from the engineers, and found Lando, her dad, and Daniel standing together.

Her dad spotted her first, eyes going wide. “Hey, honey. Everything okay?”

She shook her head. “I need to hit something.”

All three pairs of eyes turned to her.

Her dad sighed, glancing around. This wasn’t new. It had mostly happened during puberty. She’d always been hard to anger, but when it did happen, she needed an outlet.

“We’ve got some old tire blankets we can pile up. Should be soft enough.”

She nodded, her gaze distant.

He instructed a mechanic to start gathering the blankets in the back of the garage, away from the cameras and spectators.

Lando cupped her face, bending to meet her eyes. “You okay? What happened?”

“Max is an asshole,” she spat.

He blinked, shocked, before stepping back and nodding. “Okay. Yeah. I’ll go help with the tire blankets.” He hurried off.

She looked at Daniel.

He shrugged, making a face. “Max is an asshole sometimes, isn’t he?”

She nodded, jaw tight.

Then, out of sight of everyone, she took her frustration out on the tire blankets.

— 

Max won the sprint race, setting his brakes on fire on the grid in order to boost the temperature in his front tires and give him a better start. It was risky, but it paid off, and he won. That took precedence over the extra work he’d given the garage crew overnight.

Another haul of points in their fight against Lewis.

Amelia didn’t have it in her to celebrate. She forced a smile for GP, nodded at Christian, but stepped away from the pit wall and headed straight to the back of Max’s garage, where Jos was sitting.

“Did you know about her? His girlfriend?” Jos asked. “I assume you did.”

Amelia stared at a spot of engine oil on the wall. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

He looked like he wanted to argue, to push for more, but she stood up and walked away before he could.

Lando finished P5. He fought with her childhood hero on track and came out ahead. For that, he deserved her attention.

— 

She found Mark Webber just before the F2 feature race, holding a folded white envelope. She passed it to him as discreetly as possible, careful of the cameras and prying eyes around them.

He took it, glanced at it, and raised an eyebrow.

She shrugged. “Let him open it when—if—things go wrong. It’s a good offer. The best he’ll get.” She’d made sure of that. She wasn’t about to let him slip through the cracks if Otmar did what she suspected he might do.

Mark studied her for a moment. “You made this happen?”

She nodded.

“Come on, kid,” he said, after a beat, gesturing ahead. “I’m sure Oscar would love a chat before he has to get in the car.”

She blinked, then grinned. “Do you think he’ll mind if I look at his steering set-up? I’m so curious—”

—

Lando drove them from the track to the hotel. She liked his car. All sleek, black lines and a polished interior that looked like something out of a magazine.

“Is this your dream car?” she asked, curiosity in her voice.

It was nearly ten, the sky darkening, and Lando had one hand on the steering wheel and the other casually draped over her inner thigh. She’d swapped out her team kit after the sprint for his favourite skirt, keeping it casual but elegant for the evening’s media events. Daniel had made him do a shoeey on the main stage. 

“No.” He shook his head, glancing at her with a playful look in his eyes. “Don’t tease me.”

“Why?” She raised an eyebrow, genuinely curious.

“I’ve always wanted a Jolly.”

She blinked, momentarily stunned. “A— A Fiat Jolly?”

He nodded, his grin widening.

She couldn’t help but smirk. “A Jolly? That’s your dream car?”

Lando shot her a mock glare from the corner of his eye. “Baby…”

“Sorry, sorry!” she laughed, pressing a hand to her mouth to stifle her giggles. “I just— I wasn’t expecting that.”

He shook his head, exasperated but still smiling, his eyes warm with amusement. “I’ll get one, baby, and I’ll force you to let me drive it everywhere.”

She hummed thoughtfully. “I’ll be able to match all of my outfits to it,” she teased, her eyes twinkling.

Lando rolled his eyes.

— 

Max and Pietra were waiting for them in the hotel lobby the next morning. Amelia squeezed Lando’s hand as they approached, giving him a fond glance before skipping over to Pietra, who greeted her with a bright smile and a glance of appreciation.

“That dress is gorgeous!” Pietra remarked, her eyes lighting up.

Amelia smiled, twirling a little. “Thanks. It’s my favourite. Oscar De La Renta. I can wear it on the pit wall as long as I throw on a team jacket.” As they walked through the lobby, Amelia leaned in, lowering her voice just enough so the guys wouldn’t overhear. “He won’t say it, but Lando thinks it’s a lucky dress. Pushed me into wearing it today.”

Pietra smiled knowingly.

“Baby!” Lando’s voice called from behind them.

Amelia turned her head, meeting his gaze. “Yeah?”

“You got your iPad?” he asked, him and Max now caught up to them.

Amelia patted her bag, feeling the familiar weight. “Got it.”

“Good. Keep a close eye on it today, yeah? Group chat’s a bit tense at the moment.”

She frowned. “What’s my iPad got to do with your group chat?”

He shrugged. She narrowed her eyes at him. He kissed her. 

— 

Everyone could feel the tension between her and Max.

She sat in the strategy meeting, arms crossed, her focus locked on the data sheets in front of her. The only time she spoke was to correct a mistake or suggest a differential, her tone cool and efficient. Max, however, couldn’t seem to take his eyes off her, the weight of whatever was unspoken between them hanging heavy in the air.

When the meeting ended, she walked with GP to the garage, discussing overcorrection and heat cycles. 

She managed to avoid Max entirely. 

But just before the cars were due to leave the garages to line up on the grid, Jos found her. He was calm, but there was something demanding in his expression. “I don’t know what’s going on between the two of you,” he said quietly, eyes hard. “But I need you to put it aside and focus. This is an important race. He needs to win.”

Her response was a sharp nod, her jaw set. Without a word, she walked over to Max’s car. She leaned into the cockpit, eyes meeting his through the visor. The surprise in his eyes at the sight of her was fleeting; she knew he hadn’t expected it. She didn’t give him a chance to speak.

“If you don’t tell her by next weekend,” she said, voice low but firm, “I’ll find her and tell her myself.” Then, before he could react, she kissed the cheek of his helmet. Her voice softened, almost a whisper. “Win it, broer.”

Straightening up, she glanced at the mechanics; her unspoken signal to let him go. She turned back to Jos, who watched her with quiet approval. He gave a small nod, and she walked away. 

— 

She rarely walked the grid while the cars were setting up, but something about this year pulled her there. She found Lando under his umbrella, shielded from the sun, sipping from his bottle.

His eyes lit up when he saw her. She kissed his cheek, adjusting his fireproofs. “Be safe, do well. Love you.”

He pulled her in for one last kiss before she moved on. She glanced at the cars, each a blur of metal and energy; smiled at the mechanics, and shared a quick squeeze with Fernando. Finally, she caught Max’s eye. He stared at her for a long moment, before offering a small smile.

“Ah, Amelia Brown!”

She spun around, coming face-to-face with Martin Brundle.

Well aware of the camera, she forced a smile through the nerves. “Hi! How are you?” she asked, deliberately avoiding the lens.

“Good, good! So, we saw you give Lando a good luck kiss. Think McLaren’s got a good shot at scoring double points again today?”

“I hope everyone does well today,” she replied, only a slight tremble in her voice, “but of course, I hope Max comes out on top.”

He laughed, somewhat distractedly, giving her a quick nod before leading the cameraman away.

She glanced back at Lando. He was watching her with a proud, warm smile.

Her cheeks flushed, and she turned, head down, walking off the grid toward the pit wall.

— 

GP settled beside her a few minutes later, handing her a comms clip. She gave it a cursive glance before she slid it into her ear and tugged her defenders on over the top.

“Makes it easier, huh?” he said through the comms, voice quiet and crackly, no need to shout through the defenders like usual.

She smiled. “You’re smart.”

“Coming from you?” He let out a long breath. “That’s the highest of compliments.”

She giggled softly, turning her focus to the screens in front of them.

Her stomach was already in knots, but that was nothing new; it always was during the formation lap. The calm before the storm. Her gaze bounced between Lando and Max, just as it always did, and not for the first time, she wished she had two sets of eyes.

They lined up on the grid. She chewed on her bottom lip, head tilted as she kept an eye on the tyre temps on Max’s car.

He hadn’t set them alight this time. Improvement.

Five lights. Four, three, two.

Lights out.

Max led from Lewis through the first corner. Her fingers fisted into the hem of her dress.

And then—

And then.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

Max ahead. Lewis closing. A slipstream through Copse.

Contact.

Suddenly Amelia was on her feet, hand clamped over her mouth.

She sucked in a shaky breath, barely hearing the roar of shouting from the garage, the pit wall, the radios. Yelling. Chaos. Outrage.

GP spoke into his earpiece — calm, measured. “Max? Max, come on. Talk to me.”

Her stomach dropped. He kept repeating his name, firm but steady, and she heard every word. The comm was still in her ear.

Someone’s hands landed on her arms; steadying her, holding her upright. She didn’t look, didn’t need to. Everything else faded.

She begged silently. Prayed. She didn’t know who she was praying to… she didn’t care.

“Red flag!” someone shouted. Or maybe whispered. Everything was warped and sharp all at once.

She blinked. Jos appeared in front of her, speaking, his lips moved but she couldn’t hear him. Just the ringing.

And then—

“He’s moving! Max is getting out of the car!”

The breath punched out of her. Her lip wobbled. Her knees gave a little.

“Fuck,” she whispered, broken and small.

He pulled her into him, arms wrapped tight. Unshakable. Steady.

She sucked in a sharp breath against his shoulder.

— 

They showed her on the main feed.

A cutaway from Max’s crash, the Red Bull pit wall — GP calm and collected, Christian furious, and Amelia… utterly devastated.

She tore her eyes away from the monitor and stared at the floor. She was in the medical wing now, waiting.

51G’s.

A brutal shunt. Career-ending, for some.

Not for Max.

Him climbing out of the car unassisted had been a statement. A declaration. He was still in control. Still standing.

She looked up when Jos stepped out of the examination room. He gave her a nod, then gestured for her to go in.

She entered, and stopped cold.

Max sat on the bed, bruised but upright. Alive.

Her breath hitched. Tears welled instantly.

“Zusje,” he sighed.

She crossed the room in three strides and wrapped her arms around him. Not too tight, she didn’t want to hurt him, but close enough to feel his heart beating, his lungs working, the warmth of him. Real.

He stroked her head, let her cry it out.

When she finally pulled away, lip trembling, eyes darting, he asked, “What did you do?”

So she told him.

Panic in her voice, regret tangled in every word. She’d thought about it, imagined how she’d feel if it were Lando in that crash and no one had reached out. How small and useless and broken she’d feel.

Max’s eyes darkened.

“You called her?” he demanded, already reaching for her phone. “How did you even—”

“It’s too late,” she said quietly. “She’s already on her way.”

Max froze.

“I’m not sorry,” Amelia added, steady now. “If I were her, I’d want to know.”

— 

She barely made it to Lando before he climbed back into the car for the restart.

“I love you,” she whispered against his neck. His arms wrapped tight around her, lifting her off the ground with the force of his hold. “I love you so much. Please be safe. Please, Lando.”

He pulled back just enough to make her meet his eyes, steady and sure. The eye-contact made her squirm, but it was important. “I’ll always come back to you, baby. Always.”

She let out a shaky breath, a small, high-pitched sound caught between panic and relief, and hugged him once more before his engineers pulled him away.

Pietra hesitated beside her, hands hovering, then dove forward, wrapping Amelia in a hug despite the warnings both Max and Lando had given her.

“You looked so scared,” she said gently, in Portuguese.

Amelia nodded. Didn’t pull away. Let herself be held. Over Pietra’s shoulder, she locked eyes with Max. He looked concerned, like he was ready to intervene, to pry them apart, but Amelia just sniffled and pressed her face into Pietra’s shoulder.

It was nice to have a friend. 

— 

“Amelia—”

She ducked her head, jaw tight, eyes hard, and turned on her heel without hesitation.

Her heart stuttered, but she couldn’t stop herself. She was angry… furious, really. He’d carried on, celebrated the win like he hadn’t just sent his rival spinning into a tyre wall. Accident or not, it didn’t sit right in her gut.

And maybe it wasn’t fair.

But Lewis had ignored her before, in Austria.

Now, it was her turn.

— 

@/verstappie11 seeing amelia so scared after the crash was scarier than the actual crash. like can somebody hold her please!!!!!!! i never thought i’d be so happy to see jos verstappen lmao

@/pitwallprincess no bc the way the broadcast CUT to Amelia literally holding back tears while GP is stone-faced and Christian is raging… a genuine greek tragedy 

@/helmetcamwhore wait why did Amelia look like she was about to sprint to max’s car herself 😭 give her a hug pls omg

@/softlandon4ever it’s the way Lando dropped everything to hug her before the restart… like. weeping. actual soulmates.

@/mercmafia She said “I hope Max comes out on top” on the GRID and then he COLLIDES with Lewis in lap 1??? nah idc what y’all say she’s the problem.

@/tifosislut69 Amelia Brown crying on live TV was not on my bingo card today. she looked DEVASTATED. get this woman a therapist now!

@/chequedflagged I get that she's emotional but Amelia being all cold to lewis post-race in the paddock was giving bad vibes… 

@/gp2engine not everyone’s fave stem girlie Amelia Brown walking past Lewis like he doesn’t exist post-race. SHE’S MAD MAD

@/papayapixels watching Amelia literally fold into Pietra’s arms while Lando’s pulled away by engineers… god this garage has SEEN things today

"Can I make fanart?":

Of course you can! I don't mind at all and it makes me extremely happy!

"Is there any ships?":

There are no cannon ships in this au but if you want to ship the characters you can totally go for it! Self shipping is also welcome! As long as it doesn't involve minor x adult though.

"Can I make NSFW?":

You do you, just don't send it to me alright? ^^

✨ShadowPeach Bio Parents Bio AU Q&A! 23/12✨

Welcome to the Q&A! A space where I can answer related or similar question about the Shadowpeach Bio Parents AU! If you submitted your ask anonimously, then you’ll have to check the whole post if it’s answered here, if it’s not, worry not! Your asks might have been used for a future comic or just in the queue~

@boonalina ha chiesto: Question: Why does Wukong's biblically accurate form have two faces? Also, was there some inspiration for you that made you want to design him like that? (Since I know he doesn't have any canonical Kaiju form in LMK) Also also, DAMN that Kaiju fight was so freaking pretty!! The colors were so well done!

thank you!! He has 3 actually, but in the panels you can see 2 bc the third is facing away from the camera aha.

Anonimo ha chiesto: would you make a Shadowpeach bio parents au zine?

yes I would. But it requires an enormeous amount of organization, plus you need multiple people to organize a zine, from contacting, to marketing, to production, to logistic etc… I don’t have the time right now as I’m already working.

@stro-lmk-enjoyer ha chiesto: Head canon that Red Son uses/used to use the ‘rubber duck’ method while working. The rubber duck method is: when making something by yourself you may get stuck/stressed out because you can’t find a solution to a problem. Have a rubber duck on your desk just so you can verbally explain your problem, which could help you solve it by actually hearing it out loud. But a side effect of this is now Red Son will talk to himself while he works, even if it does help it still freaks his parents out hearing him mumbling to himself when they pass his room. Just something I learned recently when watching a video about writing a characters backstory 👍 I thought you might like this too! Bye <3

i know need Red Son just talking about project to a cute rubber duck and MK finding it adorable.

Anonimo ha chiesto: Will LBD come back ? Even if it is just in a dream ?

maybe

Anonimo ha chiesto: how old is MK ? Like 18-21 ???

almost 22.

@haru7110 ha chiesto: IS MEI IMMORTAL LIKE MK AND REDSON IN THE SHADOWPEACH AU??? I NEED TO KNOW!! Fornoreasonwhatsoeverobviouslyhahahahaha (angst purposes)

no Mei is not immortal, but I would guess she has a lifespan slightly longer than average bc of her family.

@cutvdo ha chiesto: When you first draw Red Son in his human form he looked small, but later he looks bigger (probably from you getting more comfortable drawing him). I like to think he changed his human form a bit because he found out MK likes big man

this is the best conclusion ever. He would fr fr

Anonimo ha chiesto: Guess you could say MK got his own personal monkey tree

omfg-

@aizieweex ha chiesto: Hey Kyri!!! I LOVE your art, aaaand thanks for the recent repost of my animatic (or animatik?...I honestly don't know which is more correct, I'm not a native speaker at all), I literally screamed, lol (And still screaming). I wanted to ask, how many parts of the comic are you counting on? Do you already have a certain planned number of chapters? Anonimo ha chiesto: Hello! How long will the shadow peach bio parents au be?

there will be 9 parts in total. I don’t know the exact number of chapters left but I can assume around 30.

@copyrightedbystarkindustries ha chiesto: Love your art!!! Are you planning on putting shadowpeach au stuff on your redbubble in the future?

Yes I do! But first I need to finish my job which will be more or less on the 20th of January.

Anonimo ha chiesto: Does MK use a glamour to hide some scars or something his parents aren’t supposed to find out about ?

yes

@twilight-bai-he ha chiesto: When you said during the livestream that MK will have a new outfit when he is magical girl, What do you mean by that ?

that he will eventually own a new outfit as “official outfit” let’s say. That isn’t his temporary fighting outfit he has now.

@magician-kitty ha chiesto: You think Mac will get more flustered now that Wukong’s more muscular thanks to all that weight lifting from the previous chapters?

a little bit yes.

@whotookfinn ha chiesto: Hey!! I’m absolutely in love with your art, it’s so beautiful and wonderful and IM OBSESSED. Anyway, I’m not sure if you’ve been asked this before, but who’s your favorite lmk character to draw?

macaque and Mk, they fluffy.

Anonimo ha chiesto: I HAVE A QUESTION! after your shadowpeach AU will be finished will you do other lmk Au????

nope.

@cjtuy ha chiesto: My question is about tang and pigsy are they married I've always wondered this

no they are not married, but it’s something they have been thought for a little bit. They known each other for years and got together for one. They know they work very well as a couple, and marriage would only be a more “official” way to show their union. It’s on their mind, maybe they will plan it in the near future

Anonimo ha chiesto: Have you seen that Brandon Roger's clip where he loses his kid? I can just imagine macaque going through that right now with mk being kidnapped. "Mothers adrenaline is kicking in!!" "have you seen my son, he's about this tall, clearly gay but we haven't had the talk" https://youtu.be/dJJUFrENZ_o?si=lbacsYlJr8XpaDQQ (this is the sound just in case)

LMAO I know that video by heart yes absolutely those would be the parents.

Anonimo ha chiesto: In the Bioparents AU, is Redson actually going to be able to court so Mk in the end after the whole celestial situation?

they will have time to do their stuff after the heaven shenanigans.

@ashmeertheimp ha chiesto: I hope you are having a lovely day/night and are healthy and well AND TYSM FOR THAT SPICYNOODLES KISS I LOVED IT AND MY HEART WAS ABOUT TO BURST! Anyway I was wondering if mk and Redson parents are gonna have quality time with there Nephew in spirt/potential son in law?

mm yes. Post heaven shenanigans but yes.

@cpazy ha chiesto: About that,

It means that Mac and MK's powers have to do with the moon cycle, like on a full moon they get stronger or something like that? And if there is an eclipse where the moon turns red, their powers would go out of control?

Yes, but the opposite. On a full moon they are weaker, while on a new moon they are stronger.

Anonimo ha chiesto: Hello! Not a question but I just love and ADORE your shadowpeach bio parents au! ❤️ Recently you had posted about LMK fic recommendations, I wanted to recommend "The Constellations Within Us" and it's sequel "Epilogue: Axis" (ongoing) by cloud_somersault on AO3. It's one of my favorite LMK/Shadowpeach fics! The writing and world building are stellar and it includes similar themes as the ones in your comic, like the themes of reconciliation, shadowpeach angst and repairing their friendship and their joint custod- I mean- mentorship of MK! It's a really good fic and I highly recommend giving it a read! https://archiveofourown.org/works/48308065 And again, love your comic so much! Have a great day! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

aaahhhh I will definetely check them out!

@astro-nomaly ha chiesto: Per ur Bio Parents AU, what happens when a courtnapping occurs, but the person getting napped isn’t actually into the courtnapper, and doesn’t want to be napped? Does courtnapping have a “leave whenever you want” clause or..? (I love ur au akshhenwb)

they are allowed to refuse anytime. If the kidnapper doesn’t allow the he’s a dick

@thecardboardbutterfly ha chiesto: Since everyone is starting to fear for tomorrow, I decided to share my convoluted thought I got yesterday night at like, 3AM to lighten the mood a bit (.3.)~* So Technically, given that Lmk is very much based on Journey to the West, maybe it's not that much of a stretch to call Lmk fan content of JTTW, like some kind of future AU or something. Which means your AU is fan content of Lmk. See where I'm getting at? Because your comic is so popular in the fandom, there is fan content of your AU out there, which is already fan content. Which means we reached a point where we have fan content (fanarts and various inspirations of the bio parents AU) of fan content (said bio parents AU) of fan content (Lmk) of a piece of content (JTTW). The chain is GETTING LONGER BOYS. I personally think it's funny. My apologies for everyone who lost their brain/ last remaining braincell reading this x)

omg. It’s a fan-inception!

Anonimo ha chiesto: Will Red Son and MK ever have a bad date?

I like to believe EVERY date will have would be comically bad. But I think that’s because they still need to understand that they don’t fall under the “typical demon date” or “amatonormativity” umbrella. The best date they could have is just them training and having lunch later, or them playing videogames or netflix and chill.

@sollythesalt ha chiesto: Dumb question but do you remember the scene in lmk where Wukong said he has stage fright? I wonder if you're gonna do something with that knowledge…. Ps: Keep doing your magic queen we love you and your art✌️💅

oh u bet I did

What to post about on Dreamwidth

There's a question that may be on a lot of minds right now, that some people may be afraid to ask. Or you might not even think to ask it until after you're in deep enough that you'll feel silly for doing so! So let's get it out of the way ASAP.

"But what do I even post on Dreamwidth? Don't all posts there need to be super long and thoughtful?"

Not even a little bit! As with any social media site, posting is the blood that keeps social interactions going. You can get into comments, yes, but those happen best with posts! But with the (I'm sorry to say) sub-par image hosting interface on Dreamwidth (that will hopefully be fixed someday, but probably is at least several years out, I'm even sorrier to say), people who are used to an image-heavy social media site might be a bit daunted by Dreamwidth's text-heavy interface. So here's some ideas of things you can post:

Shitposts. It is entirely fine, okay, and even wonderful to make shitposts on Dreamwidth! Since Dreamwidth isn't a content aggregation site and doesn't have built-in reblogging, you probably shouldn't expect them to go very far (unless a member of metaquotes sees them and wants to share), but they're still welcome 👍

GIPs, or, Gratuitous Icon Posts! Free users get a total of 15 icons to use like reaction images and gifs, and sometimes when you upload one, you just want to share it with everyone right away! That's when you make a Gratuitous Icon Post. You can literally just make a post using that icon, and then put GIP in the text field, and boom! You're done.

Steal some prompts from sunshine_challenge, snowflake_challenge, or thefridayfive. While you can also do any of these challenges in real time, there's nothing stopping you from doing them whenever you want, and The Friday Five has a huge number of back-posts to dig through. Just go back a few pages on the main community page, pick a day with questions you like the look of, and post those (with your answers) to your journal!

Do you have a pet? Or more than one? Post about what they're doing right this second. Someone's bound to be interested in that!

To-do lists. Not only can it be helpful to have these actually written out, some of your followers may chime in to root for you to do them!

Media reviews in three sentences or less. Of course you can make them longer if you want, but if you're just looking to get a quick post out, this one might be pretty fun.

Something you're looking forward to! It doesn't have to be a big thing, even something like, "I can't wait for my next afternoon nap!" or "I just bought a new book and I'm really looking forward to reading it!" or "I wanna go home so I can pet my dog so bad!" Any of those would be a fine post.

Three (or more) Things Make a List: If you've got at least three things you've been meaning to post about, but don't have a lot to say about any of them, jumble them all together in the same post! Pretty sure this tradition dates back farther than Dreamwidth, though damned if I could say where it started.

It may not seem like these ideas have a lot in common, but one thing they're all good for is starting a conversation with your followers. And that's at least half the fun of Dreamwidth, IMO.

There's more ideas out there, but these should at least get you started. And if you keep it up, you'll have the hang of Dreamwidth in no time 😉

THE OIL RIG: "Octo-Alert" Ch. 1, 4/4

gonna be honest with yall I did this page first so thats why it looks different and the speach bubbles are weird. Anyways i recommend reading the description and dialogue below the cut as it provides more context <3 please enjoy and feel free to comment/reblog

Kwazii: "Well yeah? Its not like us pirates aren't able t put up a proper fight- I mean I don't, not really, but I am still a real pirate ye know. There's ways to get around it though..."

Damn they didn't know pirates were real 😔😩🙄😒 bruh everyone but inkling and peso went "yeah this guys just a nuerodivergent excentric lil guy" 💀 but newsflash everyone, modern pirates are real 😩👍 <questions about kwaziis pirate practices are welcome>

Image 1:

Kwazii, shrugging it off with a bit of concealed anxiety: "Well yeah? Its not like us pirates aren't able t put up a proper fight- I mean I don't, not really, but I am still a real pirate ye know. There's ways to get around it though..."

Panel 1:

Barnacles,tweak, and peso stare at him in various kinds of confusion. The captain...is wondering what on earth his tiny friend means, tweaks just... blankly processing, and peso is- well peso is either about to immediately spiral or give himself the medical diagnosis of "haha yeah this isn't happening."

Kwazii, lightheartedly scoffing: "Oh cmon! WHAT is with yer faces?' He rolls his eyes softly, "Maties if I didn't know any better id think ye hands didn know us pirates were still around 💅"

Captain barnacles, oblivious trying his best cuz this man is living off a hope and a prayer: "Uh-Oh! Well-" yeah barnacles doesn't really know how to explain "I thought u were just a weird lil guy like that, maybe u got it from ur grandad or something" "I- I WASNT aware?" -\0_0/- *shrug*

Kwazii absolutely offended and flabbergasted because," what do ye mean-"

" I've spoke of it plenty!" (Internally) Are they saying they don't think I be real pirate?? Do they- do they NOT THINK PIRATES ARE REAL? Asinine- they've gotta be addled-

" Ya've met me grandad!" (Internally)Why aren't their faces looking like they get it. Oh no-

The next exclamation comes out more trembling and almost insulted and hurt-"And all of me tales??"

(Internally) Why they be GLANCING AT EACHOTHER LIKE THAT FCK-

kwazii:"YER NOT SAYING YE DIDN BELIVE IN ME PIRATE PAST?!!"

This is where everything in kwaziis like began to spiral because this entire comic is going to be me taking him from a lil creek that overflows sometimes and straight into a damn hurricane.

Thus come everyone's little reactions to kwaziis rambling lil outburst of shock and pirate sadness. They're literally just talking to eachother and not even him. Hes just sitting dejected in the background as every word just feels like a tiny stab straight into his ego and his heart.

Tweak, not trying to judge but like kinda lowkey judging but not in a mean way: "WELP, I mean I sure was uh, although n all that back in middle school- so who was I to say aynthin? Hm, still like that stuff to be honest, so-

Shellington, the pure lil guy he is as genuinely ans truly as ever: "Owh! Well uh, ah dennae ken, I just sorta assumed it was a- history interest? .... enjoyable hobby or uh, chosen lifestyle?"

Because really, guys its the 21st century who in the 21st century really believes pirates with swords are real anymore. Not the scientists and stem majors and what not in the ocean research and protection team, APPARENTLY.

Dashi who, is actually feeling bad because like- oh she KNOWS how not being taken seriously feels- no she can tell how serious kwazii is about this- so she's just sort of uncharacteristically blabbing and trying to soothe his feelings:

" Well i mean I knew you were a pirate- i mean like I didn't think that pirate pirates were a thing but like you know thats cool and fine, I mean probably because YOURE cool and fine and-"

Shes just really trying to protect her jewelry and accessory besties feelings 😔🙏 dashi will handle any rough situation with a calm mind but the second SHE feels like she didn't something wrong it all goes ot the window 😔 we love you girlie

professor inkling, obviously knows, and states so with a confident and cool demeanor: " Of course, I've known my boy!"

Inkling carries on, "Pshht," he dramtically flicks a tentacle," Why in my old traveling day I'd come across for too much NOT to know that."

Peso, who really just wishes he could just be under a blanket right now but is.. putting the pieces together, good for him, " Ooohhhhh...I remember being nervous when we first met- but everyone just acted so NORMAL about it! And kwazii was so nice too so- so I just never really said anything, because it must be true, I dont think he'd ever try to lie."

Oh peso, my darling darling peso. This is why you had such bad anxiety for such a long time (slay character development but this happens pretty early on), ya keep every doubt to urself and then believe every scary story 😩 you do got that medical braincell tho good for you

Kwaziis just sitting there reliving the past 2 or 3 years wondering oh 🤡 am I joke. Anyways yeah dont worry this still love and respect him, silly guy tryna be what he thinks is a pirate or actual genuine pirate 🙏

Lmso this is so dumb but enjoy its like 12 am so I hoped u enjoyed the midnight silliest induced commentary baiii

[factual-fantasy]

26 asks! Thank you!🐕‍🦺

I believe that AI generated """art"""/images are extremely harmful to real artists. Its just a weapon that steals mountains of peoples hard work and is causing real people to lose their jobs.

Its a rotten thing that should be obliterated from the internet. I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting expectantly for its downfall.👎👎👎

@axolotlcookie0

If you're talking about making fanart of my designs/character/AUs, please do not. I'm really not comfortable with it :( If you're just trying to show your support then just leave a comment on my artwork or stop by my ko-fi. Those will go a long way for me <:))

I had no idea there was one! <:0 I haven't been keeping up with Welcome Home since Matpat took a step back...

References. Just drown yourself in references. I'm in a discord server that has a bunch of refs for the bots and also am taking dozens of screenshots as I rewatch the show. Just gathering reference after reference and using them religiously as I draw. :00

You mean the factual fam? :0 I thought about adding another character once I hit 30k followers. But when the time came I didn't really have any ideas that I liked.. So for now it'll just be the 5 of us :)

Also thank you so much! :)))

(Referencing this post)

XDDD Average day in the Autobot base!

(Link in ask)

I have not, but they have a neat artstyle! :000

@cherrycreamfairy

Nothing in particular, it been same old same old. 😔

Don't worry! I don't think you're asking to many questions! <:00

Also, I love LOVE LOVE!! The bond between Ratchet and Raf 😭😭💞💞💞

Lastly, I love that character! :DD It looks really neat :)))

(Link in ask)

Man, that's just disgusting. I'll do whatever I can to get it taken down. Thanks for letting me know 👍

I've never heard of it <:00

XDD You're welcome! Use that power wisely now, don't do anything Optimus wouldn't do!☝️

@misscherrypie (Referencing this post)

JHABDJHEHF XDD

(Link in ask)

Thank you so much! :DD I have a fanfic side blog but have since privated all the posts out of embarrassment- so currently I don't write/have any fanfics to share 😅😅--And other than sounding like a hyper five year old when I made that post😅 my opinions remain somewhat unchanged.

Soundwave is still my favorite Decepticon for the same reasons. The silent type that is a beast in combat, and is fiercely loyal to Megatron will always be cool to me. As for the other Decepticons, the way I would describe them has changed just a bit.

Megatron: I hate him in the way you are supposed to hate a villain. I think he's a really cool character and I enjoy seeing him on screen and seeing what evil deed he'll craft next.👀

Starscream: I used to really hate Starscream. But now his pathetic, sniveling, and cowardly behavior is more funny to me than anything. And its always funny/satisfying to watch him backstab Megatron and throw a wrench in his plans over and over XDD

Knock out: Knockouts incredibly vain and Egocentric personality is really getting on my nerves this second time around. He annoys me whenever he's on screen and keeps making me think that Breakdown was more deserving of life and a redemption arc than K.O. As I close in on the episode where he becomes an Autobot, I highly doubt there will be any satisfying character development that makes his switch from Con to Bot believable. I will surly post a rant about him sometime soon and maybe completely overhaul his character for my AU. 🙄

Shockwave: I've only seen a few episodes with him so far. But I really like him. A hulking scientist that can absolutely flatten you on the battle field. Cold, alien, calculated, unfeeling, shows no mercy or fear.. he's pretty cool to me XDD

Airachnid: I hate her but not in a fun way like Megatron. She's just an annoying villain with an annoying personality that keeps getting away when she really shouldn't have. 🙄

Predaking: Only seen this guy for a few episodes too. And I haven't gotten to the ones where he talks yet. But I don't like him much already. The stakes already felt high and realistic enough. But then you add a reincarnated overpowered cybertronian dragon thing into the mix? Just made it feel more fantastical and like there's too much going on at once. Not really a fan of him so far. <:/

Dreadwing and Skyquake: The ending these two had made me very sad. Skyquake dying in his debut episode and then having his death/body striped of all its honor by being resurrected and used as a weapon.. Only for him to mindlessly wander the shadow realm for eternity.. I can only hope he became one with the allspark and has no connection to his body..

Then Dreadwing.. The pain he must have felt when he learned of what Starscream did to Skyquake.. and he didn't even get the chance to avenge his brother.. I really hope they're both at peace together with the allspark.

I really liked the two of them, and think they were very well written and interesting characters. I will definitely be writing them into my AU and give them a happy ending where they can be reunited.💚💙

Breakdown: I really, really liked him and think it was horrible writing to kill him off after his encounter with Silas and Bulkhead. Like seriously, what happened in the writing room for this character? They couldn't have hammered it into our heads any harder that Breakdown was setting up to switch to Autobot. I went back through that episode (Season 1, Episode 16) and took some dialogue just to showcase what I mean.

First of all, we have what Megatron said after he is notified that Breakdown was captured by Silas. "If Breakdown allowed himself to be captured by those smaller than him, weaker than him. He deserves whatever fate awaits him."

This shows the viewer that Megatron sees Breakdown as weak for being captured by humans, and thus deems him useless.

Then we hear what Breakdown says when Silas comments about Breakdown being too valuable to let go. "Haha! Megatron will never pay a ransom!" His laughter and this comment shows the viewer that Breakdown believes Megatron will not negotiate with the humans and will simply eradicate the humans in order to rescue him.

These two things showed the viewer that Breakdown thinks Megatron values him and will rescue him, when in reality Megatron absolutely does not value him and has no intentions to rescue him.

Then later on with the bots we get these lines:

Bulkhead: "Mech can melt him down for all I care, let the cons rescue their own!"

Optimus: "It is unlikely that Megatron would bother with an arrand of mercy."

Arcee: "Okay, but this is breakdown we're talking about"

Optimus: "Sometimes we must rise above ourselves for the greater good."

Bulkhead: "Oh what's that supposed to mean!? Breakdowns gonna go all soft and join the cause??"

Optimus: "While it is unlikely any Decepticon will choose the path of good, even they posses the potential for change."

THIS, implies/hammers it SO HARD into the viewers brain that not only is it likely that a Decepticon WILL change, because Optimus believes they all have the ability to do so. But that BREAKDOWN SPECIFICALLY might change after they save him.

After this, we have this interaction between Silas and Breakdown after the Autobots were supposedly blown up.

Silas: "Enjoying the view? Ironically your would be rescuers may be in more pieces than you right now."

Breakdown: "Decepticons don't break that easy!!"

Silas: "Who said they were decepticons?"

Breakdown: "That doesn't make sense. Autobots wouldn't come to rescue me."

This shows the viewer two things. That Breakdown really believes the cons will rescue him, and he doesn't believe the bots would save him for any reason.. But then Bulkhead shows up.

Bulkhead: "It must be your lucky day"

Breakdown: "w...what are you doing..?"

Bulkhead: "Getting you outa here. Yeah, I don't believe it either."

Bulkhead: "Can you walk."

Breakdown: "I.. I think so"

(Alarm starts blaring)

Bulkhead: "Can you run?"

Breakdown transforms his hand into a hammer: "Never run when you can fight"

Bulkhead: "Just keep that thing pointed away from me, alright?"

Breakdown then pauses and kind'a looks at his hammer as Bulkhead moves forward. Eventually following after him.

Later in the fight against Silas, Bulkhead was weakened and fell. Breakdown rushed in to push him out of the way of the helicopter firing the laser. They look at each other, both kind'a surprised by what Breakdown just did.

Later, we then we get this interaction with Starscream.

Starscream: "Consulting with the enemy, Breakdown?"

Breakdown: "Bulkhead got me out of there!"

Starscream: "Many sparkfelt thanks, Autobot. Now destroy him."

Breakdown and Bulkhead look at each other. Both look shocked and hesitate to do anything.

Breakdown: "But y-"

Starscream: "Do you plan on joining their ranks anytime soon? No?? Then be done with it already!"

Breakdown hesitates for several more seconds. "Tough break Bulkhead, maybe in the next life." And then attacks him.

This, once again, was hammering home that Breakdown very likely was going to become an Autobot. He fought alongside Bulkhead and protected him when he didn't have to. And when he was told to destroy Bulkhead, he seriously hesitated and tried to argue with Starscream about it. Before giving in..

Then finally, he have the most damning evidence of all. After Breakdown and Sarscream escape the scene and meet up later on down the road. They have this interaction.

Starscream: "One day you will repay your debt to me Breakdown, the day it comes time to choose sides."

Breakdown: "Uh.. between bots and cons?"

Starscream: "Between myself, and Megatron!"

Breakdown: "...."

Starscream: "Incidentally I suggest that Megatron never know of this rescue. You do want him to think you overcame the puny humans on your own.. don't you."

THIS, interaction is the cherry on top. Starscream implied that if Breakdown wants to go back to the cons, he better make himself look useful and say he got free of the humans himself. This shows Breakdown that Megatron didn't actually send anyone to rescue him. Megatron does not care. So his view of Megatron and the deceptions as a whole was changed with this interaction.

THEN you have the fact that Bulkhead saved him. He doesn't understand why, but no doubt this changed his view of the Autobots and Bulkhead entirely. With their limited resources, they still went out of their way to try and rescue a Decepticon. No doubt the Bots are looking much more merciful and kind than he may have originally thought..

And lastly, us as the viewer get what Breakdown said. "Uh.. between bots and cons?" LITERALLY. This question makes the VIEWER AND BREAKDOWN consider that choice! Why else would they have Breakdown AUDIBLY QUESTION which side he should be on if it wasn't implying that he would later change???

I think it was just garbage writing to kill off Breakdown the way they did. They made an entire episode that basically spelt in big bold letters "Decepticons have the ability to change, and Breakdown is going to choose to become and Autobot." They could not have made that message to the viewers and to BREAKDOWN any more clear if they TRIED.

So basically. I really liked Breakdown and the direction his character was going. And I absolutely hate what the show did to him.

@narrator-girlart (Referencing this post)

Ah sorry, that was just a paid drawing request. I'm not actually apart of the fandom <:/

But I mean hey, I plan to reopen requests soon, maybe you could place an order for me to draw more XDD

@fancymussmuss

Aww that sounds really sweet! :) Any opportunity for Ratchet to bond with the kids and learn more about human culture is a win for me! :DD

Thank you! :DD And I plan to! :))) And after I finish watching the show and make simpler redesigns for the bots, I imagine I'll draw them even more! :))))

@sussyhahag

(I wont show the artwork because it is not mine to share, but the text next to Miku said: "I KNOW THINGS ARE HARD RIGHT NOW, BUT IM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR MAKING IT THIS FAR! LETS KEEP DOING OUR BEST, OK?💙")

Aw <:))) Thank you! Does this mean Miku will bring me ibuprofen and cold water? 🥺

@beryl-shade

From the picture, it looks to be a beautiful lake! :00 I'm sure my OCs would think its beautiful too! :))

@knifecatss

SCREAMSSS THANLYUUU!!! :DDDD 💞💞💞💞

Oooo I might have to look into that :00 tho I don't think I'll make my holoforms bleed <XD I cant find a way to make that make sense..

..Well, maybe if the bots main body is injured, that injury will be shown on their holoform as a glitch or tear in their bodies. But idk if you can injure the holoform itself 😅

Woof. Thank you so much for the information! This really helped me make up my mind.

Its sounds like Rescue bots is a show I'd be willing to give a shot someday. Just for its lightheartedness alone tbh. At first I thought I wouldn't like a kiddie transformers show, but as I transition into season 3 of TFP I find myself missing season 1 and the lower stakes/day-in-the-life-of vibe it used to have. But I would be sure to just 100% disconnect it from TFP.

As for Robots in disguise, I think I'm bagging that show entirely. Bumblebee and the others acting way out of character, stupid/non threatening Decepticons, the main cast never learning or developing their character, it just sounds like it would be SO frustrating for me to watch. I can imagine I'd be ranting the whole time and rolling my eyes at Bee. So I won't be trying that show anytime soon.😔

@beryl-shade

I can imagine they'd be be in awe of the car factory. Maybe slightly disturbed..? Maybe it'd feel uncanny to see cars be assembled like that..

As for the DMV, half of the cars wouldn't pass inspection XDDD

@littlelightfish

He's probably chowing down on some good food and listening to the bigger cookies tell stories! :)))

@heaventhehedgi3

I actually don't remember him <:(( I don't think I've ever seen that movie before.. 😔

I've actually drawn Sherlock Gnomes and Watson before! :0 It was a long time ago tho 😅

I'm mod Xav (the only mod rn - -"), here to cause trauma to your favorite characters :)! PLEASE keep in mind that submissions will take a while to get to, because I have to photoshop out the limbs + background or even completely recreate someone's object if they're transparent!

The background flag is in the header and the X (recreated from an image of MePhoneX) I overlay on top is the profile picture if you want to make your own :) just @ this blog and I'll reblog it!

RULES ABOUT SUBMISSIONS:

NO INANIMATE INSANITY CONTESTANTS. I would like to avoid Apollo's Dodgeball thanks (plus it's insensitive)

No algebralien or algebralien-adjacent characters! I love those guys too I get it but I honestly don't have a good method of 'deleting' them planned. Feel free to do it on your own time though!

If someone asks me to take down a submission with them in it I will do it without questions. This is for a variety of reasons, but I think you get it.

Alright, that's it! Have fun :)

Welcome,

I am Mohammed from Gaza. Because of the war on Gaza, I lost my mother, father, and brothers, and I and my children were injured. I appeal to you to help protect my children, get them out of Gaza, and complete my treatment abroad.

With a broken heart I ask for a donation of €5 for my innocent children.

My campaign is documented👍.

I am not a bot or a scammer, and you can verify my story by requesting any information you need.

Please donate and share my story🙏.

Thank you very much 🌹.

I deeply apologize that you and your family are experiencing this. My thoughts and prayers are with you for a safe evacuation and a peaceful rebuilding of your lives. You truly deserve it. The fundraiser is vetted by @90-ghost and @ibtisams. While I may not be able to donate personally, I'm more than willing to contribute by sharing and reblogging in any way I can. As Mohammad mentioned, he's open to verifying his story by answering any questions you might have.

Try to donate and or help in any way you possibly can for Mohammad and families like him.

Currently the fundraiser is at €17,048/€40,000

It is found in the vetted Gaza fundraiser list:

It can also be found within this verified master list:

Detailed post about his and his family's story:

There are other ways you CAN help Palestine. I suggest looking into @sulfurcosmos post on "how you can help Palestine."

Some highlights from the PBS Masterpiece viewing party:

I thought it was so so adorable that this scene on the platform when Tristan returns got by far the most ❤️👍🎉👏 reactions from the Zoom audience!!! Just goes to show how much we love him!! And how important he is to the show!! 🥰

Also, Sam West's cat made an appearance! This was in response to a question about their favourite pets which was such an adorable segment 🥰

He also gave a really cryptic answer to a question about whether Siegfried and Audrey would end up together (not an exact quote, but from memory, he said something like—), "There are a million reasons why it shouldn't happen, and only one why it should." Leaving all of us wondering, what is the one reason!? Any thoughts welcome because I am baffled 😅

For all Carmody fans, sadly very little mention of him, although Callum did say that some of his favourite days on set were with James Anthony-Rose! 🫶

The whole thing was recorded, so I really hope it'll be posted on YouTube soon, because it honestly was such a treat 🥺

I'm feeling particularly weird today so here's another scenario quiz:

You're standing in the hallway of a train, choose a room to spend a whole train journey in

ROOM 1

What on earth do you want to discuss with these people?!😭 Stay atleast 13527 kms away from humanity thank you

ROOM 2

Lacus would try to talk to you to reduce the awkwardness in the room, Mika ofc silently looks out of the window. René would either add his comments to Lacus's yapping or sleep

ROOM 3

Welcome to Shinya's private tea party, I don't have to elaborate any further. Yuu and Guren are most likely to have an insult battle with each other, it's up to you to take one side or just peacefully sip tea with Shinya💀👍

ROOM 4

Krul and Ferid constantly bickering, Crowley would talk to you or suggest playing cards (Bad move💀) both of em would accuse each other of cheating in the game and start another round of bickering🗿

ROOM 5

Good choice if you like socialising, it's the most fun room in my opinion, you can play many games with them and tell each other stories

ROOM 6

Urd will leave you on your own, Ky's not interested in humans so he wouldn't care and continue talking to Lest, Little tyrant would be talking to Ky about how he's planning to overthrow Krul and conquer Japan. Don't even jokingly try ask him silly questions, he'd be so pissed off and Urd would have to stop him from rebuking you💀

[torksmiths]

are there any torksmith fics you like and would recommend to your followers 🙂?

what a question. any answer to this will tell on me in a huge and irreversible way. that being said i will absolutely be answering this and in detail. yay (^_^)

i am medically addicted to be the one to call me baby, even though you’re the one who would always tear me down by mythofthefisherking i think this one is possibly the neatest most interesting piece i’ve ever read about them the characterisation and methods thereof is so wonderful i think about it so often. mike’s so fascinating and aloof and clearly completely unreachable and it’s communicated so stylishly. i have nothing but praise for this. if i let myself talk about this more i will never stop so PLEASE just go and read it. 10/10

the sidle of evening by orphanbeat makes me sick to my stomach and i think of it as a complete and inarguable real life truth. i find its little pseudo-explanation of the watch so interesting and it serves to make the whole situation so so much more miserable. they had lives before they were this… really captures the tone of peter’s quotes on his time living with them just totally crushing and so sweet.

another one that makes me ill is lost down below like them all coincidentally also by orphanbeat they need to lock that guy up forever. there are so many wordings in this that are so brilliantly incisively mike that it makes me want to rip chunks of my hair out. his inner monologue and the little dialogue we get between mike and peter paints such a vivid and (in my heart of hearts.) accurate picture of their relationship. what part do you want back oh all of it…

obviously that was then, this is now (or, the karma blues) by heyheyimnewhere but i feel that goes without saying. as a big tom stoppard fan i get a real kick out of this one and there are so many structural elements and little details to it that made me giggle aloud with joy when i first read it but recommending this feels moot because i assume every torksmither on the planet has read this.

another one i think of as similarly ubiquitous is the series things that start just to end ALSO by heyheyimnewhere who should also be imprisoned. this absolutely unquestionably happened in real life exactly as it is written here and is the result of a vision the likes of which many historians would kill for. i think my first torksmith fic (came at the recommendation of the awesome tobbe) and it set me up well. but AGAIN i assume everyone’s read this.

now welcome to the porn section (^_^) going to be separating these into brilliant maddening works of genius that still haunt me to this day (section one) and. well. useful for other purposes or slightly less articulate but still fun and rowdy (section two)

section one: sing in silent harmony by crashdavis. everybody knows and adores crashdavis so i wanted his inclusion on this list to be something a little more niche than her big series burn your hatred (which you should also read. by the way) so this is an offshoot thereof. yay. one million things i could say about this not least of which being the brilliant insight that is mike nesmith cnc. love the spotlight on peter’s physical strength it’s something i feel is overlooked and it does make me a little sweaty to think about.

funnily enough our second one is also by crashdavis i’m being followed it is for my lover or as the tags call it having a complicated relationship with your gay husband. i feel a little bad putting this in here because obviously it’s not solely torksmith but i needed to be able to talk about this because it is such a perfect little slice of who all these people are. would this happen? under the right circumstances brother and i LOVE an examination slash exploitation of peter staying with mike and phyllis. adore the likening of the scene to a ‘bawdy political cartoon’ and also i like a man in lingerie. 👍

section two: these are going to be briefer because i’ve been writing this a while and i’m embarrassed.

coming in first is in your head by what is now an orphan account and i’m including this because just thinking about it makes me fucking crazy. not a very complex or good or thoroughly rendered scene but just thinking about how this could’ve happened… choice. love peter’s dialogue so much it’s very succinct so as not to scare mike off and just caring enough to feel a little sexily condescending. and i feel torksmith fic often lacks guys getting railed so this fits that purpose very nicely.

our second entry is come together by iceguy and it’s in this category mostly because of the concept. i dig it supremely i think as an idea it’s very funny and i love mike’s indignance and bewilderment. this characterisation (while i feel. a little off the mark and head-like) is so intriguing and i think about that description of mike watching peter at the party near constantly. i love that mike is suicidally miserable the whole time and i love when he shakes his head and peter listens… so much to pick out here. very choice.

this is my awesome list thank you for reading… there’s a lot i left out of the main body because i wanted to give you the cream of the crop but if you have any recommendations send them my way because i love these guys and i love you. kissies
