In the haunted au when you talk about Optimus losing cybertron do you mean it’s being ruled by deceptions and isn’t safe for autobots to stay there? Or the more angsty route of cyberton being uninhabitable due to something that happened?

Cause one is very sad and the other means primus is dead and I don’t think I’ll survive those implications T-T

it's a little bit of both!

i think the war was getting so bad that if it had continued any longer it would've led to cybertron's complete and utter ruin. and while the autobots could've lasted a few more decades, perhaps even a century or two, the primes saw the writing in the wall and convinced optimus to retreat before he lost more of his people and helped condemn cybertron to its death.

better to leave their planet alive in the control of the decepticons than kill it in a war that would doom both sides to extinction. they can always return once they find a way to end the war swiftly, but they don't know if there would be a way to bring their world back from death.

neither of them counted with the fact that because the matrix is leaving with optimus, energon would once again stop flowing through cybertron, leaving the decepticons to either return to mining for it or hunting OP down through the galaxy to bring him back. guess which one they choose.

What are your Top 3 favourite movies of all time?

AHHHH this question is always the HARDEST question! I genuinely watch so many movies, like hundreds every year, no joke 😅 Okay anyway, this list is by no means comprehensive, (ONLY THREE?? Come on) and it is subject to change!!

Shutter Island and Inception are tied for first and only count as one vote. (My list, my rules!)

Spirited Away *Studio Ghibli in general*

Scream ~all of them~

The Other Sister

She grinned Nina’s big gap-toothed grin and sang along as we drove. Just like the real Nina would do. 

She asked if I’d put on some West Side Story. I didn’t ask where her phone was. 

I knew. The real Nina had it. 

Nina called me that morning from our parents’ house up north. She asked why I was taking so long, I said I had to do all the dishes she left, she laughed. She asked me to bring her sociology textbook. 

When I opened her door, Nina was standing there with her bags packed, ready to go. The Nina on the phone asked if I’d found it. The Nina in the door asked if something was the matter. 

I’d been in our apartment alone for two days. 

This Other Nina brought her bags out to the car. She wore Nina’s clothes. She looked like my sister. But my sister wasn’t here.

She rode passenger. She was in a good mood. Sometimes, she spoke as if responding to things I hadn’t said. Or laughed at a joke I hadn’t made. I tried not to stare. Tried not to look at all.

I considered she was a demon. Something meant to hurt me, or trick me into hurting myself. Dangerous to drive with a demon.

I considered I was hallucinating. That was dangerous, too. 

I considered leaving this Nina at the gas station and speeding on up to my real family. But I didn’t. She came out with a donut and a smartwater and made a strange non-sequitor that I didn’t reply to, though she laughed as if I had.

“Did you pack your sociology textbook?” I asked after awhile.

“Did I? Oh, shit. No, I forgot,” Nina groaned. “It’s alright, I can wing it from memory probably.”

“... Do you remember the last couple days?”

“Pfft. Barely.” She said this like a joke. I had a bad headache.

We pulled up to our parents’ house. My parents’ house. I was sweating, my head was pounding, and I was nauseous. We carried our bags to the door.

My mom, my dad, and Nina rushed out to greet me. 

The Nina behind me lit up with glee.

“Hey Mom! Hey Dad! H-” 

She stopped. The real Nina’s mouth dropped open. The Other Nina’s mouth dropped, too, identically. Both of them froze.

The real Nina started saying “What the f–”

And then the Nina beside me disappeared.

Just gone. Her bags gone with her. 

An ozone smell lingered in the air. My head pounded, and my stomach lurched, and I was sick all over the sidewalk. My parents and my real sister were suddenly sick, too. Everyone slept through the next day.

I’ll never know what she was or where she came from. But I’ll never forget that millisecond before she was gone. The way all her features seemed, in that instant, to stretch out like an image on a broken TV. 

She’d been so terrified.

Adding more to my various "earthspark hot rod doesnt get on with megatron" posts by adding that Hot Rod isn't UNaware that his behavior towards Megatron is, to some degree, detrimental and even unreasonable at times. He knows damn well that they ALL did things during the war (himself included) and that pinning the destruction of his home on this ONE bot is him being emotionally selfish in the face of a greater cause.

He knows ALL of that but he Just. Can't. Help it.

Reeling in his feelings and impulsiveness isn't something Hot Rod is good at. So even when hes doing his best to play nice and see things logically and for the greater good, he still just can't help sniping at Megs at every opportunity.

australian suburbs are crazy

I may be one day late from Halloween, but I had a spooky thought about Transformers.

The fact that the souls of the Primes are *in* the Matrix of Leadership (I think?) should be addressed more. Imagine Optimus seeing the ghosts of the Primes around him to give him advice. Imagine one of them possessing him in a moment of peril or panic. Like the Avatar State from ATLA but for Primes.

Optimus suddenly not acting like himself with a voice layered under his own and one of those Primes is absolutely 100% down to murder and nearly does so with Megatron before getting stopped by one of the other Primes being like "Hey wait no, don't do that, this new baby Prime is going to feel VERY guilty if you do that"

Optimus waking up kind of dazed and very out of it afterward not remembering anything that happened and the Autobots being very concerned about it but he just walks it off like it was nothing because he has to keep going and leading.

Idk I feel like there's some story potential here.

Part 1 Complete!

A Dream Within a Dream, Chapter 18

Shepard struggles to accept the ways in which her life will never be the same.

Read it on AO3

I'm still alive! Having a baby sort of throws life into chaos, though. But if a Dream Within a Dream were a movie series, this would be the end of the first movie. Thank you to everyone who made it possible! 💖

“Regardless,” he continued with a shake of his head, “I believe that you and your abilities are key to uncovering the Conduit and defeating the Reapers.” The sudden shift in topic left her with whiplash as she sat back, her eyes wide. Her comfort of moments earlier vanished as though it’d never been. “I’m not-” She swallowed, her mouth suddenly dry, “I’m not special. Whatever it is I can do now, it doesn’t make me some sort of…” Goddess. “I’m not some sort of ‘chosen one’. I’m just me .” She set her jaw, and she met his gaze with stone. “I’m just Shepard.” “I know. And I won’t ask you to be anything other than that. But we’ve never had this sort of power on our side before. This is a turning point in the war.” His words were gentle but firm, not quite a rebuke, but a reminder of everything they worked for, everything they stood for. A sudden weight settled upon her shoulders, the truth of his words landing hard. “Of course. I’ll do whatever I can to protect the Fleet.” As the words left her mouth, she could feel the gap between her and the others widening, a cold, confusing feeling cradling her aching heart as she swallowed.

the thing about the ongoing conversation that's like 'people are using chatgpt and becoming convinced that they're speaking to spiritual or interdimensional entities' is. that is literally exactly why i dissuaded my mom from using chatgpt as long as possible and that is also why it now makes me so nervous that she is using it. because she is the exact kind of person with spiritual psychosis that would fall for That as hard as she fell for [insert any of the dozens of conspiracy theories and new age '''practices''' that have encouraged her spiritual psychosis to the point of genuine breaks in reality several times in the past ten years]

Yeah, but why are they literally the Renegade and Paragon options?

I feel like the Illusive Man is going to come out of nowhere and tell me to pick a boyfriend for the fate of humanity.

Realized that Riley's tragic backstory is effectively a redo of Trinity's death scene. You're in an accident. Your partner who was driving is killed. You're forced to leave their corpse behind and travel on foot through a hostile landscape, to try to save your baby--the thing you made together, the thing you suffered and bled for, your partner's last gift to you--even though you already know it's going to die in your arms and you're going to die with it.

Neo saves the "baby" at the cost of his life. Riley loses the baby and lives.

Cheetah sticker from a Venezuelan line of DC Superhero stickers released in 1976. Interesting because this seems to be depicting Debbi Domaine, but she didn't debut until 1980! Precognitive artist or glitch in the matrix? You be the judge! (you can find the rest for sale on eBay here: https://www.ebay.com/str/comc?_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211)
