Okay but like. Who's cipher in this scenario

I think we both know who Cipher is.

[feelingofcontent]

i wanna hear your conspiracy guesses! sooo hyped to see what the next shows get

below for extra spoiler safety!!

The Options

Tier 1: Pumpkin or Toilet

first show chose 'Toilet' - they have a couple's toilet (false "obviously" they said)

my guess for 'Pumpkin' is the 'Phil is the dancing pumpkin man gif' - another obviously false option

Tier 2: Fake or Clothes

first show chose 'Fake' - phil faked the last sleepless night video (true)

my guess for 'Clothes' is clothes sharing

Tier 3: Pole or Tour bus

first show chose 'Tour bus' - they shared the big bed on the tatinof tour bus (true 😭)

my guess for 'Pole' is something to do with the railing rail on the bed? (god help us if so 😳)

Tier 4: Wedding or Vegas

first show chose 'Wedding' - they got married in Japan (false, with an implication that they're not married at all from what I could hear??) they said something like 'dan can't commit to anything' and 'we're not traditional in any way')

my guess for 'Vegas' is the missing vegas video vlog! I think it' sgoing to be hard to get an audience that picks this one...it's the cake scene all over again 😭😭

counting on you copenhagen! 🙏

[smokescreenimusprime]

Not sure if you're still doing the fic title ask thing, but if you are, "falling stars rising smoke"

Smokescreen held the two cubes up to his optics and looked at them closely. One was empty, one was full, and it was all he could safely scavenge from the Decepticon citadel.

If rationed correctly, they could last a couple days before the really bad side effects set in. They'd be a bit hungry yes, but they'd still be able to run at mostly full strength

But...

Carefully he leaned forward and nudged Optimus awake.

"Optimus, it's time to fuel," he quietly offered. The mech's optics flickered on and slowly tracked his movements. Once he was certain Optimus was conscious and paying attention, he carefully brought one of the cubes to his lips and very slowly poured as not to choke him.

When the cube was about half empty though, he suddenly closed his mouth and turned his head away to the side.

"Sir? Is something wrong?" he pulled the cube back and looked at the liquid still sloshing inside. He'd taken a sip earlier, just to be safe and make sure it wasn't tampered with, and nothing seemed off. He also doubted the Decepticons would poison their own Energon stores, but it was entirely possible he missed something.

"What... about you?" the Prime wheezed out. His voice was raspy and weak, barely more than a whisper that could be carried away by the weakest of winds. Despite the damage, his optics still managed to look up at him with worry that almost made Smokescreen laugh.

It was funny, in a painful way, that Optimus was worried about him despite being on Primus's doorstep.

He supposed that's what happened when you were leading an entire faction in a war for millions of years.

"I already fueled when you were asleep," the lie slipped out as easy as ever, and he grabbed the empty cube. "See? I've already finished."

Optimus couldn't afford to have partial rations. He needed all the strength he could get if he was to get better.

Smokescreen didn't need to be running on full cylinders anyways. He just needed enough so that the Decepticons couldn't catch him.

Optimus stared at him for a few moments, and for a second that even though he was barely conscious he managed to sniff out the deception, but a moment later he relaxed and gave the smallest of nods

Smokescreen smiled down at him. "Now, finish your cube, okay? You need every drop you can get."

n52 Shazam cracks me up, b/c what do you mean they made the love interests into siblings?

You mean Freddy and Mary?

Yeah, imo that is a bit weird, but then again, Golden Age Freddy thinks of Mary as a cousin and not a love interest [although not exactly sibling, but family-related :P]

[Captain Marvel Adventures 18]

haven't read Power of shazam that far yet, but from what I've heard, Freddy and Mary are love interests (correct me if i'm wrong) and I also heard that in Kingdom come, it is hinted that both are married

I'm not surprised that they changed the love interest status between these two

Honestly, Since I take more inspiration at the Golden age, I much prefer having Mary and Freddy as a sibling-type relationship instead of a love interest, that coupled with my favorite headcanon: "Big Brother Freddy Freeman" where Freddy is much older than the Batson twins. So i can just make him overprotective of his young brother and sister even in their hero forms xD

That's probably an unpopular opinion in here but I don't mind if people ship Freddy/Mary

I prefer them as a family

[robotnik-apologist]

maybe a hot take but while i would love to see more pre-sgw robotnik (which will never happen bc of the dickwad and his lawsuits) part of me would be really scared for him to come back, even in a spin off. a lot of modern eggman writing often overlooks the evil part of him (NOT TO MENTION THE WHOLE 'GENIUS' PART) in lieu of comedic relief

while i adore writers like ian flynn for managing to balance modern eggman and portray him so well... they are VERY rare. so even though the chances of pre-sgw robotnik returning are between zero and nil, part of me is kinda glad for that. the early archie comics alone prove that much, at least to me

[komododad1]

Are there any other Alternate History Scenarios that interested you and that you'd like to explore in the future?

I mean I get wild hares of ideas all the time, but honestly at this point I'm trying to restrict myself because in the past I'd get so many ideas I'd want to do them all and then get nothing done on any of them.

For the time being, I'm focused on Black Sun as my main project, with maybe one other smaller recurring side project (still in development), but I think that's all I can manage for now without getting wildly off course. But in the future, if I need a break from Black Sun or just decide I'm done with it, I'm sure I'll do something else. We'll see!

[raspberryzingaaa]

cold spring? I went to camp there!

Ah, no, I meant this very cold seasonal spring we are having. All May it was in the 50s and 60s! Praise the Lord it is finally warming up!

[koneko-dreams]

How fucking dare you.

I heard that you’ve been calling MY son your son. I don’t think you have the power to give birth to an egg or that you have the magical power (or enough of it) to hatch said egg.

Tell me, who gave you permission to do that?

@meleanor-draconia

I only see him as my son. I see everyone as my child- Nonetheless, your said son has also called me "mother" so I don't see the problem

[smokescreenimusprime]

On the trend of using EPIC The Musical for the ask game (thanks anon), here's a good one:

Choose. You, or your crew. (Song source: Thunder Bringer)

"Choose. You, or your crew." the stranger growled, shoving the muzzle of his blaster into the side of Smokescreen's helm.

Smokescreen bit back a sigh, knowing full well that it would not help the situation.

The situation was fairly unusual. Most days were pretty quiet in the Archives with the most exciting thing being a new datapad being added to their stores, or on rarer occasions a bot starting drama over some novel or other they didn't have and needing to be escorted out.

An armed robbery was definitely a new occurrence. Usually when bots wanted to steal the relics, they opted for more covert methods.

But not these ones apparently. They showed up, quite literally guns blazing, and held the staff and visitors who hadn't managed to flee in the initial chaos hostage. The enforcers had of course been called, but they couldn't get in yet without risking the attackers doing something dangerous.

That led to right now, him, his employees, and a couple others all gathered in the back of one of the bigger rooms as one of the attackers tried to threaten Smokescreen into telling them the vault passcodes by dragging him forward and pressing a gun to his helm.

Primus he was going to have to fill out so much paperwork after this. Maybe he could convince Ultra Magnus to pull some strings so he wouldn't have to.

"I said choose," the mech growled again, jabbing Smokescreen's helm with the blaster again, this time hard enough to scratch the paint which made Smokescreen tense.

Not in fear like the mech seemed to think, no, but growing frustration. He just got buffed the other day! Knockout was going to peel his paint when he found out he ruined his work so soon.

Yeah, okay, waiting for the enforcers to do something clearly wasn't working out.

Guess he had to handle this himself.

This time he actually let himself sigh, not caring about keeping his attacker docile.

"Yeaaaaaah, gonna have to say no to that one, chief."

And then he grabbed the gun's barrel.

His attacker's optics went wide but he didn't even have time before he was swiftly disarmed (he wasn't even using servo modifications! talk about amateur hour, as Miko would say). It only took a second to pistol whip him across the temple, then whip around and shoot the three other bots in the room just as they began to realize things were not going to plan.

Nonlethally of course. Sure it would count as self defense and he'd be let off without much trouble, but that would just make even MORE paperwork.

Once he was confident the other three were down for the count and that his employees and even a few of the other hostages were able to disarm and take care of them, he turned back to the first mech.

"First mistake," Smokescreen began, flipping him onto his front and forcing his servos behind his back in a submission hold. "Getting within grabbing distance."

"Second mistake," he patted down his frame to grab the key for the handcuffs. "Cuffing me too loose and then not being able to see what I was doing with my servos."

"Third and most damning of all," he threw the key over to a very shell shocked looking Coil, who fumbled the catch with his cuffed servos but managed to not drop it.

He liked Coil. He was a new hire, but Smokescreen could already tell he'd be sticking around. He was a hard worker, a bit sarcastic at times, and cared a lot about keeping things organized.

His now ex-attacker looked up at him with wide optics, confused and afraid, and Smokescreen just met his gaze with a bored expression.

"Not doing your fragging research."

HIIII i really wanted to get into billy stuff for a while, but i can never seen to find a good reading guide/reading order. I have read some but idk 😭 i was wondering if you had one to recommend? If you can ofc, just stalked a bit and i love your billy stuff >×<

Honestly im more of a golden age Captain Marvel Jr fan, so I'm more familiar with Freddy's stories than Billy's.

---

I don't like reading power of shazam or some of the newer stuff because sometimes you need to read other hero's issues to get the full picture, You don't need that much reading order for golden age since most of their stories are not episodic so here's the comics I read( not in order.)

---

I recommend reading just the Marvel Family if you want to see the main three interacting with one another. I feel like this is the best one to get started if you already know the origins for the Marvel Family.

If not then here it is:

Billy's Origin: Whiz#2

Freddy's Origin: Whiz #25, Master comics #21-22

Mary's origin: Captain Marvel Adventures 18

____

But if youre curious about Billy' stories by himself, here is the one that I have read so far:

I Mostly read Captain Marvel adventures instead of WHIZ comics, If you want to get into the iconic Monster Society of Evil/Mr Mind Saga, start in Captain Marvel adventures 22-64. [ Keep in mind, comics back then are 4 stories in one book, the Mr Mind saga is almost always the last story of an issue]

The first Time Billy meets Tawky Tawny: Captain Marvel Adventures #79

Billy's Childhood with his wicked Step-Uncle: Captain Marvel Adventures #88

Captain marvel's Christmas: Captain Marvel Adventures #69

Captain Marvel is tricked to not Fly for a day by a criminal, A funny issue: WHIZ #95

in my opinion, any issue with Tawky Tawny in it is the most fun, here's the list of issues that has Tawny.

Go to the fandom wiki page because the issues in this image is not complete

For the sake of not making this list too long. I won't mention my favorite issues for Captain Marvel Jr or Mary Marvel. [You could probably tell that Freddy is my most favorite if you look at my drawings]

Best of luck, ask someone else if you want recommendations for non-Golden-Age shazam comic guides

[the-90s-music-colosseum]

has anyone sent in the cindy crawford photoshoot as propaganda for kd lang yet bcs every single person alive needs to see that

Ohhh yes

[chasedeys]

Ik you’re new to this team and I’m so sorry this is what you have walked into😭. Now you can seee why before he was drafted , the entire sports media told Joe to force his way out to not play for this organization and they were absolutely right . I was mad when it was happening , but Gid were they and Carson Palmer right

hi yeah it's okay 😭 sort of....looking at joe and carson palmer comparisons makes me want to die :(( so i politely look away for my peace of mind 🤗 oh but question did joe like insist on playing for cincy? it's super sweet how he said that he's happy he's playing for the city and for the team especially through all his injuries and everything :((

no joke though still super happy i got into the bengals even if they make me want to just. die. ahaha! very toxic abusive relationship esque where i keep giving them chance because they keep love bombing me (offense being so good) despite constantly beating me down (defense being so bad) and it's soooo stupid to say how much i still love all these players even if germaine fucking pratt makes me want to kick his ass down a flight of stairs because what do you mean what missed tackles. i need them to start being more self-aware please god and stop picking twitter fights on shit you clearly are getting your ass kicked on 😭

but the point is i still am sooooo happy i started rooting for them!! because they are so fun to watch i am dead serious never in my life did i think i would like watching football of all fucking things. and its genuinely genuinely so impressive how they can find new ways to lose so spectacularly. setting a new total points (82) record for a bengals-steelers game. the team that didn't score a touchdown at all and still somehow won against a team we lost to twice even with 9 total touchdowns btw. made a whole career game for the opposing qb after years of not touching 400 yards. coming back from a 24-6 deficit in the fourth quarter. receiver with qb numbers on 2 separate games against the same team. career high 5 passing touchdowns games. 300+ yards 3+ touchdowns numerous times and still losing said games. broke a record about that all in one season girl how the fuck. this all just points to how shit the defense is which is sooo confusing because HOW can you suck that bad...an nfl defense…..(there's this hilarious bit calling the way they're losing 'high art' which is basically all this lmao)

i mean hard knocks will be an extremely painful watch but at least you can’t shit on the way they’re playing offense so it won't be a complete beat down so.

but basically i don't regret coming in when they're shit because they aren't really that shit (????) lollll it's fine the rpf keeps me sane tbh

[adhdkingdice]

How old were you when you met the devil?

Finally, an actual question!

[kd-13]

Just had the idea ever for the green pippins cosplay

The mike costume is two magnetically-attatched halfshells that cover everything above the hips because Battat is already wearing the right pants for it. Sure, it canonically comes off in one piece, but we can have creative liberties

Such as letting the gloves always be white instead of switching to green after un-Mikeing. Because that would be a pain. And make the costume too hot

- girlie who can't tell if her eyes are green or blue and has a shadowbanned main

THAT IS GENIUS but sadly I am basically broke and I actually was gonna make the mask out of cardboard (because I am broke) until I realized it would ruin the makeup and wig I'm gonna use but some else should DEFINITELY do this!!!
