one thing about Bumblebee that i like is that he’s odd, like 127 is an odd number

[littlegeecko]

I'm interested in the student - teacher dynamic stickMasterLuke and Dusekkar had!! If you don't mind going into detail👉👈

Of course! it's a bit short since i try not too get too much into the plot itself, but i'll give a few deets and art : ) If yall wanna know about Luke separatedly just ask ahead

First of all, my Luke design in question:

Technically Luke is both Builderman's and Dusekkar's student, they both taught him very different things- Builderman taught him about the basics of coding (Though Luke always seemed to have a natural talent for it) how to be a proper admin, the whole arquitect part of being a builder, how to exercise his creative ideas into real things, etc etc... While Dusekkar was teaching him more personal things- like how to preen himself properly, control his natural powers, and most importantly, how to fly while his wings were still small and required a lot of care and movement

I like to think that, while Luke didn't grow up entirely alone, he did spend a lot of time by himself due to being the runt of the group (developing way later compared to his family members), his shyness, often hiding away from others (including his fear of heights) and his apparent lack of attention span (often daydreaming about building stuff and with a bajillion ideas going thru his mind made him quite the distracted kid and later young adult) So it's a good thing that Dusekkar later realized his potential as a builder, but also as the humanoid, magical being he was, just like himself; he just needed to learn how to control it and grow as a person.

Eventually Luke grew up and his entire body went thru a transforation of sorts, becoming taller, stronger, and his wings gaining their proper, majestic size, the same with his vine-antlers growing flowers and turning different colors. Dusekkar couldn't be more proud of him, even if he later decided to stop being an admin and become a full-time builder, leaving RBHQ behind.

Dusekkar showed him the paths he could take, and didn't matter what he picked, he was proud of the man Luke became at the end; confident, protecting those in need, and an excellent, creative builder.

Luke never stopped being that silly, shy young man Dusekkar first met, he's just a lot more open and confident now :J

....Dusekkar is just glad Luke wasn't around when he was Forsaken'd, he loves that kid, he don't want anything bad to happen to him.

Transforers Animated.

Optimus Prime

Already having to deal with his team, Prime was not looking forward to taking care of another human. He already had to deal with his team – Bumblebee who acted more like a sparkling, avoididng his responsibilities to have fun and cause mischief, then there is Prowl, who even if was well behaved, his “mysterious aura” did not help him at all to be part of the team, Bulkhead, bless his soft spark, was a bit clumsy time to time and had no control over his strength, which far to often angered Ratchet, their only medick, who loved to grumble about every thing. So he was not looking forward to any more humans to keep optic on. Though you proved to be more capable and responsible then Sari, who of course was a child compared to you, but in retrospect, all humans were like children compared to him, so young and small. You were soft, kind and respectful, a shoulder to vent when ever he felt overwhelmed, reassure him that he was a good leader and that he knew what he was doing. For that Prime was very thankful, feeling a bit more support now. He strated looking forward to your scare visits as you were an “earth adult” with your own responsibilities and rocks on your shoulders. Which was not to bad, but Optimus wanted for you to visit a bit more often and when Sari moved in due to her circumstances an idea popped in Optimus processor - what if you moved in here, there was enough space in the base after all, half of it being used for storage while the other part was left empty. With this in processor, Prime strated arranging things and learning about humans and what kind of habitats they preferred, like warm environment to function and rest in, colder to have a good recharge, preferring different types of colours and styles to decorate the living space, just like any other bot. The room that Prime “chose” for you was by his quarters, so that he can check on you time to time, to make sure you will be okay and safe, knowing how clumsy time to time you were. It was a bit difficult to do this in secret, but explaining all this paint buckets, equipment and other stuff as for Sari’s room, which was not half of a lie, some of it was, Prime was lucky you were so trusting. Though not as lucky as decepticons suddenly attacked your street, causing mayhem and over all damadge. Prime did use this moment as to guide one of the attacks to actually damage your building, putting blame on the decepticons, which you bought quite quickly and Prime was on cloud nine when you accepted the GREATFULL offer of moving in. After this Prime team noticed how “attentive” Optimus become towards you, acting a bit worried for them. He was always around you, checking, making sure you were alright, helping you get to work, of you were hurt he would attend to you, basiclay treating you like some kind of sparkling, even if you were an adult. Ratchet did grumble about it time to time, though he was happy that with you Prime got less in to trouble. When you started dating someone, Optimus was very against it, pulling all kind of strings to make sure that they woud not last, like checking their background, what they did and would go as far as stalk them, even scaring them of time to time. Basiclay being a protective dad-bot over you, so get used to disapproving looks when ever you try to date someone new and them suddenly ghost you.

Bumblebee

Bee did every thing in his power to have fun on this new planet – races, trouble, playing with Sari, videogames, Tv, just anything but work. It was so boring to patrol the city for decepticon’s. What he, a small bot, would do against someone as nut loos as Blitzwing Or Starscream. He just wanted to have fun. He ran in to you in front of the videogame store, staring at the new game called Doom, captivated by the action shown on the TV with wide optics until someone tapped on his peds, making him look down, you were standing there, extending a copy of the game he was staring at, with a smile on your face. It took a while to register what was going on, gently reaching out towards the copy and grabbing it. You thanked him for that one time when he saved you during one of the attacks, and seeing how bot constantly was spotted around here, staring at the display of different game, you decided to buy one for him. Bee was hapy that he got a new game and thanks you from the bottom of his spark. And just like this you two started hanging out more often. You met Sari as well and three of you just hangout, having fun playing games and getting in all sort of trouble. Though as you were an more mature, despite your young age, you also acted as a mother of the group, managing to keep tabs on them and surprised that out of all those alien bot’s the yellow one was the youngest, acting like a teenager, too bored to be cooped up inside and do missions. Bee was also kind of happy that you were there and would get a upset when both you and Sari would have to go attend your human life, like school and work, leaving him all alone. And because of this Bee become more clingy, especialy towards you, wrapping his servos around you when ever you were here, which looked very funny when a bot bigger then a human clung to a small adult like some kind of child, not wanting to be left alone. He did started following you around as well, and the only human he would actually listen to as you did sort of used carrot and the stick method with him. It did help that you used to baby sit your siblings so you knew how to deal with him, even if he was an alien teenage robot. Clingy one.

Bulkhead

This soft giant loved painting - a completely different hobby to what he supposed to be. Of course it was a better choice as he can avoid causing trouble at the base, like breaking Ratchet’s equipment and breaking things. He joined a small club of other artist, joining them in the park to paint scenary in peace and quite, enjoying this peaceful time without much worry. One of this outing you joined in, a new friend to make in this small circle of “people who were familiar with each other” and joined for the class. Bulkhead could see that you were not as good at this, probably trying out something new, and quickly regretting as you looked around, scared. Bulkhead decided to step up, moving a bit closer and showing his canvas, making you calm down a bit as you saw his painting, with him reassuring that you do not have to be perfect to enjoy something, even if you are not good at it. You did calm down a bit, no longer feeling ashamed of your art  and quietly chatting with the bot, asking about him. Soon they started meeting up alone, enjoy the compony of each other, sort of ditching the art class to enjoy their own progress and compony. Though with decepticons your life was in danger at one of the attacks, with Bulkhead having to keep you safe and show his destructive ability, fighting a bigger con – Lugnut. They were measuring in strength, with Bulkhead doing his best to keep the fight away from you and telling you t hide. After this experience big bot avoided you for some time, scared that you will be terrified of him, but to his surprised you were actually seeking him out, worried for the big guy and bringing him more art equipment. So sort of this fight brought you two even closer.

Ratchet

Ratchet was not a big fan of humans and it will take a miracle for him to become friends with one. Or one being a mechanic or engineer. Ratchet would stumble upon you when you were helping Bee out after this reckless idiot got one of his limbs hurt again, leaking oil to quickly and Ratchet could not make it there in time, screaming instruction in to intercom on what to do to prolong his activity. Once he arrived there, medic bot was shocked to see human welding the cuts and stopping the dangerous oil leak on Bee’s body, helping to stabilize young bot’s system. Shocked, Ratchet rushed in, though was pleasantly shocked to see how good the job was done. Grumbling, he moved human away, mumbling a thankyou as he attended back to young bot. The next time he sees this human again was after the battlefield with decepticons, attending to Bulkhead this time, who had a huge hole in his chest. Ratchet, this time, decided to watch how human will manage to fix, ready to shove them out of the way any moment they do anything wrong, kneeling beside them. You just greeted them, too focused on stooping leaking oil and trying to wire things back correctly. It was a good thing as your small hands were of better advantage, quickly fixing up what ever small damadge there was before attending to big one. Ratchet watched you, adding commentary as you worked, which you followed immideatly and soon enough you found your self under his wing, learning how to fix big alien bots for free. You did not complain, preferring to know how to help those huge alien bot’s who were the best line defence against big bad alien bots known as decepticons and their evil plans. Ratchet had you train on small machinery, helping them fix a few things here and there, taking you back to the ship they were on and help fix it up a bit, as much as both of you could, progressing quite well with your small help, able to fit in small spaces and fix issue. And even after that he still kept you under his wing, making sure YOU were alright as well. Any harm fall upon you from decepticon will send him in to rage and he will wreck havoc upon them. Any human will get a scare of their life and if you managed to somehow harm your self – you are not allowed to LEAVE HIS SIDE FOR DAYS!!! It’s not to long after you are officially his subordinate and a new human friend to grumble and fight with autobots when they break something, learning a few colourful words from each other.

Prowl

Prowl would love Earth for the live it had on it, fascinated on how the circle of life functioned here. Thing must die for a new life to thrive, with new life coming from joining of two others and how beautiful it is in all. He would hundred percent would love visiting shrines to feel tranquillity and joing meditation with humans, birdwatching, walking in a park and in general practise tranquillity. Though one day this tranquillity was disturbed as he heard a yelp, opening his eyes and scaning around. A human, hanging of the tree, holding for their dear life, all while the branch was snapping loudly, clearly not able to hold their weight, forcing Prowl to act immideatly, jumping in between trees to get momentum and as the branch finally snap, he managed to get you,  landing carefully on to the ground with you in arms, while you held something else. After some time it something made chirping noice and he looked down, shocked to see a baby chicks, snuggled in your arms, chirping for their mother. Looking up Prowl noticed one of the their creatures of Earth – snake, slithering away from the nest. He can guess why you had a chicks now, you were trying to safe them. Checking on the human, he was pleased to see you well and when he asked what it is you were doing up the tree, you only confirmed his though, though you did add that the chick belong to endangered species, with their mother passing away to keep them safe. Also that you can take them in as you worked in sanctuary. A new place for Prowl to visit and he did, checking on chicks and you as well, learning more about you in return. He found that you were very caring veterinarian, eager to help any living being, though terrified of spider to extend of climbing Prowl when ever the was one in sight, pleading for him to take care of it. It was sort of fun. After some months that Prowl spend in sanctuary helping taking care of chicks it was time to set the free in to the wild, with bends to help track and identify them in case anything goes wrong. Both of you watched them fly away as soon as the cage was opened, up and away. With that you thoug Prowl will no longer visit the sanctuary you worked on, though you were pleasantly surprised to find him there the next day. And the next. Honestly his compony was noce, both caring for life and Prowl did even thought you a few moves to self defend just in case anything goes wrong. And with time you grew on each other, enjoying the presence of your new co-worker, a big alien robot ninja.

Hey I asked you this a while a while ago on anon but hey we're mutuals I can ask you on non anon I think. So uh. So I've been working on this longterm-ish project of, uh, trying to understand what mathematical induction Really Is. And in the course of this I've started reading about the theory of sketches, because I think I need sketches to answer this question. And you know about sketches I think, I think you've used sketches for your project...

What is your project again?

But anyway, so. I'm on hiatus from my project cause I got brain damage. Uh.

Oh right the other thing that seems important for my deal is institutions, have you heard of institutional model theory?

So I guess my question is:

what is your project again? with topos theory(?)?

did you use sketches?

did you use any institutional model theory?

Uh. Well. Tha'ts my questions sorry this ask is disjointed as fuck.

sorry, i kept going to answer this ask and then getting distracted with like, looking into various math things i like (currently: codensity monads, synthetic differential geometry (well i was trying to read about C^∞ algebras), and how-do-you-define-(lax/pseudo)-transfors-between-weak-n-categories-anyways)

so, i haven't worked on my project in a while because ive been just having life problems full time instead. but i'm doing a little better now, so i've been doing math again, so i might get back on it.

my project is: i want to generalize the notion of topos so you can write classifying "toposes" for theories written in more general types of logics. stuff like linear logic or maybe stuff with like richer 2-structure. idk. there's a theorem in the depths of the Elephant (the big book on topos theory) that i thought might lead the way, but in order to do that i have to read and understand a majority of that book. this is kind of a way to force myself to like. Learn A Big Important Thing Fully. because of course this idea might just not work out. its research.

I ran into sketches when i was teaching myself category theory out of the Handbook of Categorical Algebra; they're presented there as like, a broad approach to model theory from a categorial perspective? You learn about them in the context of the equivalence between categories of models of sketches and accessible categories. Sketches are sort of tangential to topos-algebra stuff, although i think they're like. So, given a fairly general type of algebraic theory, there is a classifying topos for that theory; conversely every grothendieck topos is a classifying topos for some theory. probably a sketch is a good way to express that. idk it's in volume D of the elephant and i was going through it sequentially.

ive never heard of institutional model theory at all?

Chapter 10: The Transformation for Leena and Jeongina.

It was late at night, and Jeongin and Lee were in a small, cheap hotel, dimly lit, with the suffocating heat of the cramped room. The air conditioner was broken, and the beds were uncomfortable, but they had no other choice. The room rent and the disguise clothes had consumed almost all their money—leaving them with only 40 dollars between the two of them. The small room was cluttered with everything they managed to grab at the last minute: wigs, makeup, thrift store clothes, and high heels. The transformation had to happen, and soon, if they wanted to maintain their cover and secure acceptance into the sorority.

Jeongin observed the chaos around him and glanced at Lee, who was trying to learn how to do makeup by watching tutorials on his phone. They both looked on the verge of a breakdown, but there was no turning back now.

“Shall we start?” Jeongin said, looking at Lee while holding a hairbrush.

Lee just nodded, clearly not very confident. “I really hope this doesn’t end in a disaster.”

Jeongin picked up a blonde wig and started adjusting it. But as he did so, something snapped. He glanced at the high heels scattered on the floor and muttered, “These damned heels… how do women even walk in these?”

With a look of discomfort, he forced himself into a pair of red heels, but walking was a struggle. Jeongin tried to keep his balance, but his feet seemed to be in constant battle with the heels. Every step was a small disaster, and he almost fell several times.

“Damn, this isn’t natural!” Jeongin grumbled, taking clumsy steps around the room.

Lee watched from a distance, laughing quietly. “It looks like you’re fighting an invisible monster. Don’t worry, Jeongin, I promise you’ll get it.”

Jeongin rolled his eyes. “I hope so, because this is stressing me out!”

While Jeongin struggled with the high heels, Lee was at the mirror, trying to learn how to apply lipstick. He held the red tube, looking at it as if it were an alien artifact.

“So… how does this thing even work?” Lee mumbled, trying to open the lipstick without making a mess.

After a frustrating attempt to apply it to his lips, Lee stepped back from the mirror, with half the lipstick smeared across his face, looking like a true disaster. He backed away and laughed nervously.

“Okay, that was… horrible. I’m definitely not a professional makeup artist.”

Jeongin glanced at Lee, still trying to walk more steadily. “Oh, don’t worry. I’m almost tripping over my own feet. Lipstick is the least of our concerns.”

Lee sighed, grabbing a tissue to try to fix the mess. “I should’ve studied more about this beforehand… but who knew this girl stuff would be so complicated?”

After a while, they both found themselves facing the dresses they had bought. They looked at each other, apprehensive, before putting the clothes on.

Jeongin slipped into a purple lace dress, but when he looked at himself in the mirror, he couldn’t hide his surprise. “I… don’t know, man, I feel like an alien.”

Lee, on the other hand, chose a short black dress that, while it looked good in theory, seemed tighter than he expected. He tried to strike a more feminine pose, but the result was somewhat awkward.

“I don’t know how girls manage to walk in this and still maintain their posture,” Lee said, straightening up. “This dress is way too tight for me.”

Jeongin, trying to appear more confident, looked at his reflection and let out a nervous laugh. “Well, at least we can say we’re ‘hot even in female versions,’ right?”

Lee adjusted himself again. “None of this makes sense. I can barely breathe, and I don’t know how to walk like this.”

When they finally looked at each other, they had done the best they could. Jeongin, with his blonde wig and high heels, seemed at war with himself at every step. Lee, wearing the tight dress, tried in vain to maintain composure and adapt to the new look.

Both were visibly uncomfortable, but there was no more time for changes. They had transformed—awkwardly and hilariously—to survive the situation.

“Now we just have to go out and try not to make fools of ourselves,” Jeongin said, exaggerating his attempts to balance in the heels. “Maybe we’ll fool everyone tomorrow.”

Lee took one last look in the mirror. “Are we ready, then? Let’s do this.”

Jeongin laughed nervously. “Ready for whatever comes.”

They had done their best to transform, and now, with high heels, makeup, wigs, and adjusted dresses, they were ready for the sorority selection the next morning. The problem? They were exhausted, frustrated, and, to be honest, slightly nauseated by the situation.

“I don’t know about you, but I’m tired. This night has been a nightmare,” Jeongin said, collapsing onto the bed awkwardly, still wearing his heels. “These heels are the worst fashion accessory ever.”

Lee, who had already thrown himself onto the bed next to him, sighed in agreement. “I don’t even know what’s worse: trying to adapt to this disguise or the idea of spending the rest of the night here. How does anyone sleep like this?”

They looked at each other, desperation etched on their faces, but there was no other choice. The selection was happening the next morning, and the only thing they could do now was wait.

Jeongin tried to laugh, but it came out more like an exhausted sigh. “The only thing I want is a decent bed and a real night’s sleep. Instead, we’ve got heels, tight clothes, and makeup. This is no life, man.”

Lee closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the pain in his feet from the heels and the discomfort of the dress. “Yeah, but it has to be this way. We need this spot in the sorority, or we’re really screwed. The selection is our only chance to stay in college and execute the plan to find out who that girl was and who her accomplice is.”

Jeongin glanced at the mirror, evaluating his disguise as Jeongina. “Just looking at this, it feels like we’re making fools of ourselves. But it’s our only chance, so let’s at least try. We can’t half-ass this… we need to look convincing.”

Lee rolled his eyes but gave a tired smile. “I just wish we were back in our fraternity. But we’re here now, so… let’s make it work.”

With a deep sigh, they both turned toward the bed, still dressed in their female disguises, the discomfort clear on their faces. There was nothing else to do at that moment, and the anxiety for the following morning grew. They were out of options, with limited money and only one chance to secure something to keep them afloat. To make matters worse, they couldn’t remove their disguises because the selection was coming up. So, they decided to sleep in their heels, dresses, and makeup, still clinging to the hope that things wouldn’t get worse.

“Just sleep already, Lee,” Jeongin said, lying down and trying to get used to the discomfort. “Tomorrow will be another day.”

Lee stared at the ceiling, struggling to fall asleep. “Yeah, another day… full of chaos.”

Both tried to close their eyes, but the discomfort of the shoes, clothes, and stress of the situation didn’t help. The night felt endless, but all they could do now was wait for the next day. They had transformed, and they were ready to face the selection, even if the night had been one of the strangest and most uncomfortable of their lives.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Capítulo 10: La Transformación de Leena y Jeongina.

Era tarde en la noche, y Jeongin y Lee estaban en un pequeño hotel barato, mal iluminado, con el calor sofocante del cuarto estrecho. El aire acondicionado estaba roto, y las camas eran incómodas, pero no había opción. El alquiler del cuarto y las ropas para el disfraz consumieron casi todo el dinero que tenían: ahora solo les quedaban 40 dólares entre los dos. El pequeño espacio estaba abarrotado con todo lo que lograron conseguir a última hora: pelucas, maquillaje, ropa de segunda mano y zapatos de tacón alto. La transformación tenía que suceder, y rápido, si querían mantener el disfraz y asegurarse de ser aceptados en la fraternidad femenina.

Jeongin observó el caos a su alrededor y miró a Lee, quien intentaba aprender a maquillarse con tutoriales en su celular. Los dos parecían a punto de enloquecer, pero no había marcha atrás.

“¿Empezamos, verdad?” dijo Jeongin, mirando a Lee mientras sostenía un cepillo de cabello.

Lee solo asintió con la cabeza, claramente poco confiado. “Realmente espero que esto no termine en una catástrofe.”

Jeongin tomó la peluca rubia y comenzó a ajustarla. Pero al hacerlo, algo en su interior se quebró. Miró los zapatos de tacón alto esparcidos por el suelo. “Estos malditos tacones… ¿cómo pueden las mujeres caminar con esto?”

Con una expresión de incomodidad, se obligó a calzarse el par de zapatos rojos, pero caminar con ellos fue una lucha. Jeongin trataba de mantener el equilibrio, pero sus pies parecían estar en constante guerra con los tacones. Cada paso era un pequeño desastre, y casi se cayó varias veces.

“¡Demonios, esto no es natural!” murmuró Jeongin, dando pasos torpes por la habitación.

Lee observó desde lejos, riendo discretamente. “Parece que estás luchando contra un monstruo invisible. Todo irá bien, Jeongin, te lo prometo.”

Jeongin puso los ojos en blanco. “Espero que sí, porque esto es estresante.”

Mientras Jeongin luchaba con los tacones, Lee estaba frente al espejo intentando aprender a aplicarse lápiz labial. Tomó el tubo rojo y lo miró como si fuera un artefacto alienígena.

“Entonces… ¿cómo se supone que funciona esto?” murmuró Lee, intentando abrir el lápiz labial sin hacer un desastre.

Después de un intento frustrado de aplicarlo en sus labios, Lee se alejó del espejo, con la mitad del lápiz labial esparcido por su rostro, pareciendo un verdadero desastre. Retrocedió y rió nerviosamente.

“Ok, esto fue… horrible. Definitivamente no soy un maquillador profesional.”

Jeongin miró a Lee, todavía intentando caminar de manera más equilibrada. “Ah, no te preocupes. Yo casi me tropiezo conmigo mismo. El lápiz labial es lo de menos.”

Lee suspiró, tomando un pañuelo para intentar corregir el desastre. “Debería haber estudiado más sobre esto antes… pero ¿quién diría que este asunto de mujeres sería tan complicado?”

Después de un rato, ambos se encontraron frente a los vestidos que habían comprado. Se miraron, inquietos, antes de ponerse las prendas.

Jeongin se puso un vestido de encaje púrpura, pero al mirarse en el espejo, no pudo ocultar su sorpresa. “Yo… no sé, amigo, me siento como un alienígena.”

Lee, por su parte, optó por un vestido negro corto que, aunque en teoría se veía bien, resultó ser más ajustado de lo que esperaba. Intentó posar de manera más femenina, pero el resultado fue algo torpe.

“No sé cómo las chicas pueden caminar con esto y mantener la postura,” dijo Lee, enderezándose. “Este vestido está demasiado ajustado para mí.”

Jeongin, tratando de parecer más seguro, miró su reflejo y soltó una risa nerviosa. “Bueno, al menos podemos afirmar que somos ‘guapas, incluso en versión femenina’, ¿no?”

Lee intentó ajustarse una vez más. “Nada de esto tiene sentido. Apenas puedo respirar, y no sé cómo caminar así.”

Cuando ambos finalmente se miraron, ya habían hecho lo mejor que podían. Jeongin, con su peluca rubia y tacones altos, parecía estar en guerra consigo mismo a cada paso. Lee, con el vestido ajustado, intentaba en vano acostumbrarse a la nueva apariencia.

Estaban visiblemente incómodos, pero ya no había tiempo para cambios. Se habían transformado, por torpe y gracioso que fuera, para sobrevivir a la situación.

“Ahora solo salgan e intenten no hacer el ridículo,” dijo Jeongin, equilibrándose exageradamente en los tacones. “Tal vez podamos engañar a todos mañana.”

Lee dio una última mirada al espejo. “¿Estamos listos entonces? Hagámoslo.”

Jeongin rió nerviosamente. “Listos para lo que venga.”

Ambos habían trabajado duro para la transformación, y ahora, con tacones altos, maquillaje, pelucas y vestidos ajustados, estaban listos para la selección de la fraternidad femenina a la mañana siguiente. El problema era que estaban exhaustos, frustrados y, para ser sinceros, algo incómodos con la situación.

“No sé tú, pero estoy agotado. Esta noche ha sido una pesadilla,” dijo Jeongin, dejándose caer en la cama de manera torpe, intentando encontrar una posición cómoda, pero fallando miserablemente debido a los tacones. “Estos tacones son el peor accesorio de moda.”

Lee, quien ya se había arrojado a la cama al lado, bufó en señal de acuerdo. “Ya no sé qué es peor: intentar adaptarme a este disfraz o la idea de quedarme aquí toda la noche. ¿Cómo puede alguien dormir así?”

Ambos se miraron con una expresión de desesperación en sus rostros, pero no había otra opción. La selección tendría lugar a la mañana siguiente, y lo único que podían hacer ahora era esperar.

Jeongin intentó reír, pero sonó más como un suspiro agotado. “Lo único que quiero es una cama decente y una noche de sueño real. En lugar de eso, tenemos tacones, ropa ajustada y maquillaje. Esto no es vida, amigo.”

Lee cerró los ojos por un momento, sintiendo el dolor de los tacones en los pies y la incomodidad del vestido. “Sí, pero tiene que ser así. Necesitamos ese lugar en la fraternidad, o estamos realmente jodidos. La selección será nuestra única oportunidad de permanecer en la universidad y ejecutar el plan para descubrir quién era esa chica y quién era el cómplice.”

Jeongin echó un vistazo al espejo, evaluando su disfraz de Jeongina. “Solo con mirar esto parece que estamos haciendo el ridículo. Pero es nuestra única oportunidad, así que al menos intentémoslo. No podemos hacerlo de cualquier manera… tenemos que ser convincentes.”

Lee puso los ojos en blanco, pero le dio una sonrisa cansada. “Solo quería estar en nuestra fraternidad. Pero ya estamos aquí, así que… intentemos hacerlo.”

Con un profundo suspiro, ambos se voltearon en la cama, todavía con las ropas de mujer, el desconcierto reflejado en sus rostros. No había más que hacer en ese momento, y la ansiedad por la mañana siguiente crecía. Estaban sin lugar para quedarse, con dinero limitado y solo una oportunidad para conseguir algo que los sostuviera. Para colmo, no podían quitarse el disfraz porque la selección estaba cerca. Por eso, decidieron dormir con tacones, vestidos y maquillaje, todavía con la esperanza de que la situación no empeorara.

“Duerme ya, Lee,” dijo Jeongin, acostado y tratando de acostumbrarse a la incomodidad. “Mañana será otro día.”

Lee miró al techo, luchando por dormir. “Sí, otro día… lleno de caos.”

Ambos intentaron cerrar los ojos, pero la incomodidad de los zapatos, la ropa y el estrés de la situación no ayudaron. La noche parecía interminable, pero todo lo que podían hacer ahora era esperar al día siguiente. Se habían transformado y estaban listos para enfrentar la selección, aunque la noche había sido una de las más extrañas e incómodas de sus vidas.

Continuation for chapters 4-6

Trigger warnings for suicide mention/ideas within the analysis.

Ok chapter 4 will just be a collection of awesome pages which is nearly every page of this chapter

Love how that coat is pointing back at him. Nightow also doesn't give a shit at how long it is in places. Looks cool and that's enough.

Battle glasses!! This shows he means business. Also makes his emotions harder to read and it feels a bit like him closing off again...

Followed by these pages...Vash almost looks strange. A bit creepy, even. Knives, if you tried to understand your brother for once, you'd see he's not actually that hard to read. Marlon gets it, too. You didn't even try.

I love Nightow's whole approach to this epic showdown between Vash and Knives. It takes its time, now even with the quietness before the storm...the atmosphere that's being created is just so tangible. Also, how cool that now it is Knives looking down at Vash, and not the other way around! Like it was most of the other time.

Oh nooo Vash felt that through their shared plant power, didn't he. Despite all that's been, that must've been an extra gut punch to Vash.

Beneath his coat, our man is made of legs, leather, and boot straps, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I think I read a post of someone saying some wise and intersting stuff about this page but I can't recall what it was about anymore...but I just want to say I love how Vash doesn't change what he is, for this final battle. He's always been a gunsman and damn pretty good at it. He's not going to transfor super-saiya-plant now, but stick to what he knows!

And their expressiooons...man this manga has so many great and varying expressions.

Chapter 5:

There's wisdom stored in the pages of Trigun that I probably cannot fully grasp with my sparse knowledge of life experience. We get so rarely any insight into Vash's thoughts, it's always something precious for me as a reader.

Love this panel!

Oh, he looks so incredibly tired. The fandom has been using the term 'Widower Era' for this flavour of Vash and it is so fitting.

Awesome page!! Again!!

It's really crazy how far gone Knives must have been at this point that even children don't mean anything to him...they are all part of this big threat called "humanity".

They are so young! And Vash looks so terrified..it's making me realize once more that this cool and powerful gunslinger started out as a "normal" boy, who had to become so powerful as a consequence of all that fucked up shit he went through...

asaasffsd yeah, he's not just prepared to die here, he's planning for it.

hehe pretty Vash panel in between (suprise: EVERY Vash panel is a pretty Vash panel!)

The widower era is a look that suits him but why is it so grimdark aah. Is that the solution you've come to, Vash? Is that really the only reasonable and possible outcome, and are you sure your concllusion has not been clouded by recent traumatic events?

Chapter 6:

This chapter is really where you get what Vash's power really is, isn't it? It's been shown that he can create these holes, but in July it was more an explosion, with the fifth moon as well, so this time feels like the first real mention of that black hole power!

Yes! Who is there to decide if humanity is good or evil, if it deserves to live on? If you must find a decision, at least hear the voices of those who had to suffer! And Knives never really tried listening to the other Plants..

Knives would have a blast with twitter and the youtube commentary section.

That story of that village is so sad, and just a great example of...accidents that just happen. Misfortune that causes people to be cruel to each other, without wanting to. This showdown between Vash and Knives, I love how it's not just them throwing cool catch up phrases at each others' head, but...it comes down to their core conflicts, and it touches topics that are so very applicable to real world conflicts, too.

Stupid stupid military shooting >:( The plants look in pain now, too!

And then...and then he's not fighting along!! <:') The friend squad is here for the rescue!! Finally, finally Vash is getting some help in his fight. He could and should have asked for it, but it's great they still came without him needing to.

Aww Meryl :DD These two are just so precious.

Oh I was just wondering if this is the commander feeling Chronica's aura like that time Wolfwood did feel Vash's during the fight at Home?

(At least she's not crying blood like Vash did, phew) but uh bye Domina :( You had your short, but sweet appearance!

Transformers (UK, vol. 1) #2: The Transformers

Read Date: April 10, 2023 Cover Date: October 1984 ● Writer: Bill Mantlo ◦ Ralph Macchio ● Penciler: Frank Springer ● Inker: Kim DeMulder ● Colorist: Nelson Yomtov ● Letterer: Michael Higgins ◦ Rick Parker ● Editor: Bob Budiansky ●

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers

Reactions As I Read: ● I remember these clunky-but-functional introductions from the US version ● they find a drive-in

● same stuff happening as in the US version. my memory is bad anyway, so the refresher is good ^_^ ● 👏👏👏👏

Synopsis: The planet Cybertron, home of sentient robots known as the Transformers, has been at war for millions of years, putting the peace faring Autobots at war against the evil war hungry Decepticons, led by the evil Megatron. The devastation wrought by the war would send planet Cybertron out of it's orbit spinning throughout the cosmos on an indirect course, and into the path of an asteroid belt that threatens to destroy their home world unless something is done. Autobot commander Optimus Prime is selected by the Autobot elders to lead a team to destroy the meteors before it's too late.

Optimus Prime selects a crew that consists of the following Autobots: Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Brawn, Huffer, Gears, Jazz, Prowl, Ironhide, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, Wheeljack, Mirage, and Hound to journey out in their ship, the Ark, to destroy the meteors. Learning of this, Megatron gathers a team of his own Decepticon warriors to attack and destroy the Autobots. With him, he takes Soundwave, Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Rumble, Frenzy and Ravage to attack.

With the battle leaning toward Decepticon victory Optimus Prime, forseeing this possibility sets the Ark on a suicidal collision course with the nearest planet, which happens to be Earth. They crash into an active volcano, destroying them all. Some four billion years later at the site of the crash at what is now called Mount St. Hillary in Oregon the Ark's computers spring to life sending out a probe to scan what it thinks are the planet's sentient machinery. The ships repair systems repair all the Transformers aboard indiscriminately, repairing the Decepticons first and giving them the ability to transform into Earth machines. They manage to escape before the newly revived Autobots can stop them.

Scanning their computers to learn about the world they have crashed on, Optimus Prime decides to that the best course of action is to send out some Autobots to do reconnaissance before they do whatever needs to be done to protect this world from the Decepticons they unwittingly unleashed on this world.

Elsewhere in the state of Oregon, Buster Witwicky, the son of mechanic Sparkplug Witwicky arrives home late from school and gets in trouble with his father who is frustrated with his son for not having an interest in mechanics like he does. With the days work in his garage just about done he allows his son Buster to take the family car out to take his friend "O" and his girlfriend Jessie out to the theater.

Meanwhile, the Autobots Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Brawn, Prowl, and Hound are on the road getting a lay of the land in their area. They happen upon a drive-in movie theater and thinking that the cars parked there are sentient beings find it odd that they are focused on a large screen. On their journey, they are spied on by Laserbeak who reports back to Megatron. The Decepticon leader decides to send a Decepticon attack force to ambush the revived Autobots.

The Autobots arrive at the theater, and Bumblebee in an attempt to "greet" an Earth car bumps into it. This car happens to be the one that Buster and his friends are in. Buster gets out of the car to yell at the person who bumped him and is shocked to find that there is no driver inside the car. Suddenly, Soundwave, Ravage, Laserbeak, Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp attack the theater prompting the Autobots to transform into robot mode and fight back.

As the humans flee the drive in, the Autobots fight back sending the Decepticons in retreat, but not before one of their blasts can strike Bumblebee. The other Autobots realizing that the sentient life forms on this planet are organic, not mechanical transform into vehicle mode and make their escape before the Decepticons can counter attack. In the chaos, Buster notices that Bumblebee is leaking a fluid that is not oil and decides to take the car back to his garage in an attempt to repair it. He is surprised to find that there is no ignition on the car and is even more surprised when it starts up on its own.

Working hard in a futile effort to try and fix the car, the racket that Buster makes wakes up his father. Sparkplug is delighted to see his son trying to fix up a car on his own, not trying to listen to Buster's explanation about it. However Sparkplug is shocked when Buster tells him that the car is alive, and it weakly asks them for their help.

What is a Magical Girl and How do I Become One?

Disclaimer:

This is inspired by @laluneestclair 's post about becoming a magical girl. I decided to post about this topic as well so you all can have a better understanding of what I am personally doing to achieve my goal. I also thought it'd be fun to provide information too!

What is a Magical Girl?

A Magical Girl is a girl who has been chosen to protect the world from evil. They possess magical abilities usually given to them by companion creatures, however they can be obtained any other way too. These girls usually live an ordinary life; however, in the presence of danger, they can transform into a magical girl to fight monsters and the forces of evil. Magical girls aren't always girls, too! There are also magical boys & enbies, they just aren't as common. Magical girls were originally shown in fiction, and there are incredibly popular shows like Sailor Moon & Cardcaptor Sakura that portray magical girls! However, unbeknownst to many people (and the whole point of this post, and my whole blog) there are magical girls everywhere! You just can't see them most of the time, however it is 100% possible to become one. You may be thinking, "but that's crazy! It's not possible to be a magical girl!!" But I can assure you, there is much more to the world than us humans can comprehend at the moment. We only use 10% of our brains so we have no idea of what we are truly capable of.

How do I Become a Magical Girl?

There are mainly 2 methods to becoming a magical girl. Though magical girls are all united and work together, there are also different communities based for each method. The 2 methods are:

The Spiritual Method

The Chosen Method

The Spiritual Method

This is a method I see used by many people in the mahou shoujo community. I know some people this has worked for as well! You can basically manifest becoming a magical girl.

You can read about manifesting here; (https://psychicelements.com/blog/magical-manifestation-technique/) ; however I will be talking about how I personally go about this. I introduce to you... subliminals!

What is a Subliminal?

Subliminals are affirmations layered over with music, white noise or sfx to manifest your desires (for example, a subliminal on manifesting red hair.) In this case, we'd use magical girl subliminals. Subliminals are in no way required, the human mind is totally capable of manifesting without these!! All you truly need s belief & intent. There are many magical girl subliminals on YouTube. Your subliminal playlist refers to the playlist you use for your subs (it's in the name-).

The Steps to Becoming a Magical Girl, Using This Information:

In this side of the magical girl community, we call the different steps to becoming a magical girl "shifts."

Fantasy Shift: This is the planning stage for what kind of magical girl you want to be! Wanna be an idol mg? Go for it! Wanna be baking themed? Cool concept~ Wanna be a witchy kind? I love that idea! The options are endless. But be prepared, there is alot of scripting (writing what you want) for this stage so be prepared to have very tired hands...

Mental Shift: This is pretty much the same as the fantasy shift, however this time you really need to imagine yourself as a magical girl. Help anybody in need, pick up garbage, be kind to all etc. You should be in the right mindset!

Phantom Shift: This is when you start feeling yourself becoming a magical girl. For example, you might feel yourself wearing your outfit or holding your weapon even if it's not there. These may also occur during meditation; by the way, meditation is very good for this kind of stuff!!

Physical Shift: The stage where you achieve full results and transform! There is lots of meditation, time & dedication needed for this stage.

You don't need to use those steps or any subliminals of course, however I put them there as they are very useful. In conclusion, anybody with the desire to become a magical girl is 100% capable of transforming into one! This may sound cliché but it's true; all you need is to believe in yourself and you can achieve anything!! <3

The Chosen Method

Typically, magical girls are usually portrayed as being seen as worthy and thus scouted by some sort of cute companion. This is not as heard of in real life aside from fiction, but it is actually possible to be chosen!! All it takes is to have a good heart and you may perhaps be recognised by this cute creature that is looking to scout. An example of a magical girl who was scouted is @magicalgirldiaries !! They have lots of cool stories so totally go check them out.

As I stated, the ones who scout magical girls are the companions or familiars. They come from a different plane, and scout magical girls to fight evil. They are usually very friendly & welcoming, and they look for people who are kind-hearted.

Conclusion

Becoming a magical girl is 100% possible, and all it takes is persistence and believing in yourself!! I believe that anyone is capable of being whoever they want to be, no matter how crazy it may seem. Trust that whatever you wish for will come true someday. ☆彡

cw/tw: um pretty heavy pet whump (the more heavy stuff has space left between the lighter bit), forced surgery, surgery to look more like an animal, also includes a goofy nsfw joke at the later part

ok hear me out this might be a lil much but what if pet whump but whumper actually manages to turn them half cat/dog/whatever u pick using cat as an example rq could be varying degrees maybe its smaller like they always crawl only speak in meows kinda act like a cat (probably obiedient but i mean if you wanna have a 'person' knock glasses off tables go for it) and hiss or have an urge to attack bugs or get annoyed with water

or um heavier part coming up

what if whumper deadass commits surgery on whumpee like pointy teeth claws? cat ears that may or may not work tail that may or may not work whiskers? sharp pupils? PENIS TRANSFOR- 😊 i also saw someone on here put socks with tight rubber bands on whumpees hands and feet so i mean thats also out there (srry for not remembering ur name)

[yusuke-of-valla]

hey!! i was wondering if u could answer smth for me. what exactly is role swap and arcana swap? i know vaguely what thw premise is but how does it change the characters m

Oh well generally speaking "role swap" is when characters roles in the narrative switch, so like if you have a story where character A is a knight and character B is a prince, then in the role swap A is the prince and B is the knight. With Persona 5 if it's just a roleswap then it's usually Goro Akechi is the delinquent transfor student and Akiren is the Detective Prince, but everyone else is the same

"Arcana swap" then is a role swap specific to the Persona fandom where everyone's roles are swapped with one another because the characters roles are defined by their arcana. So like I have an arcana swap where Ann is the Fool, meaning she's the wild card and the new transfer student, and Ryuji is the magician, meaning he's the adorable mascot puppy who guides them around the Metaverse

How much the characters change tends to vary from person to person because there are a lot of combinations but I try my best to find a balance between the characters original circumstances and the new one. So like with Fool!Ann, her parents are still fashion designers and they're still out of the country, but the reason they don't take her is that it's part of her probation. Then Lovers!Futaba is more of a cosplayer with an online presence than a model becuase personality wise Futaba's really into nerd stuff.

Usually when I do it my goal is to make something that's recognizable as the original character but also stands out on their own due to different circumstances, but that's going to differ for different people. Like I will usually keep Madarame involved with Yusuke no matter what arcana Yusuke has because Yusuke's relationship with Madarame is a key part of his character and it also forces me to be more creative with whoever I make the Emperor, but other people will always have the Emperor be Madarame's pupil.

So like there aren't really hard and fast rules for what happens and there's a lot of different takes on it if you want to do it but

TL;DR: Role Swap is literally just a character's position in the story being changed. In Persona fandom specifically Role Swap usually refers to maybe one or two characters who are swapping roles; Arcana Swap is a type of role swap in the Persona that means means all the party members get their roles shuffled around (plus maybe confidants if the author is feeling spicy but in my experience that's less common)

lettres à Kristen Stewart #1

Chère Kristen Stewart,

Cette année on a toutes les deux trente ans.

Dans une interview récemment on te demandait ce que ça faisait d'avoir eu trente ans au milieu d'une pandémie. C'était le 9 avril, au tout début. T'as dit que tu voulais arrêter de boire et de fumer. Good on you Kristen. J'ai vu ton court métrage tourné dans ta grande maison sur la colline avec les gros plans et les soupirs. Moi aussi je faisais des films dans ma maison au printemps. Je jouais à l'actrice, j'aimais trop ça. C'était bien au printemps, tout le monde s'était mis à mon rythme et je crois que je me sentais un peu moins seule que d'habitude.

Kristen, dans un mois j'aurai trente ans moi aussi et je sais pas quoi faire de ma vie. J'ai l'impression de nager dans une piscine et qu'à chaque fois que je m'approche du bord et que je crois que je vais pouvoir sortir de l'eau, le bord disparaît et je dois continuer à nager. Il est là, je le vois devant moi, mais j'arrive pas à l'attraper, il m'échappe, et parfois c'est pas un bord du tout, c'est un mur lisse infini qui glisse et je peux rien y faire. J'essaie de voir à court terme mais j'arrive pas à faire abstraction du long, celui de ma vie entière, et puis celui qui est encore plus long, celui que le bureau de la réalité linguistique appelle "shadowtime". C'est cette échelle de temps parallèle qui apparait quand on commence à se poser des questions existentielles planétaires et qu'elles transforment les questions du court terme en cacahouètes sans importance. Je finis par me perdre dans les échelles et j'arrive pas à voir où est ma place dans tout ça. C'est trop grand. Comment s'y retrouver Kristen?

Dans une autre interview tu te demandes qui tu serais si tu avais fait des études. Tu dis: "Sometimes I feel pissed off at my own inferiority. Because there’s stuff I don’t know.” Mais après tu hausses les épaules et tu dis: "But then there’s always stuff you don’t know. And I still read a lot." 

Le jour où j'ai eu 19 ans je suis allée voir Twilight au cinéma. C'était un mercredi, on voulait aller voir un film de Sam Mendes mais toutes les salles étaient occupées par la soirée marathon Twilight. J'aimais pas trop mais on y est allées quand même, je crois que j'étais déjà un peu amoureuse de toi, sans vraiment m'en rendre compte, parce que les garçons prenaient encore toute la place.

Je sais pas comment ça se passe chez toi les anniversaires en temps normal, dans ta villa de L.A. perchée sur la colline qui doit pas encore avoir brûlé, mais moi j'ai envie de te raconter les miens. Depuis celui qui a suivi le marathon Twilight jusqu'à celui de l'année dernière, le tout dernier de ma vingtaine. J'ai suivi ta carrière au cinéma, l'évolution de tes coupes de cheveux et de ton rapport à la célébrité, les balades avec tes chiens, les doigts d'honneur aux paparazzis, les festivals de Cannes où tu poses tes chaussures, les coffee runs avec tes copines successives, les photos de Coachella avec la casquette à l'envers, les sorties dans ta grosse Porsche, et puis tout ton historique amoureux. Surtout ton historique amoureux. Je connais toute ta vie Kristen. Ce n'est donc que juste retour des choses que je te raconte la mienne.

Chapter 7 of Provide Me is up!

De-aged Tony Stark fic with ensemble cast. Read here!

Excerpt from chapter 1:

Someone had taken his designs down.

He blinked, vision blurry with sleep. The view remained the same - a blank, white ceiling. No schematics. No blueprints.

He sat up, heart thudding in his chest. Was he in trouble? If his designs had been taken down –

His tummy squeezed tight as he realized this wasn’t his room at all.

This wasn’t even home.

This room was huge, easily three times the size of his bedroom. The bed was massive, with shiny black covers - he could see his feet poking up, not even a quarter of the way down. The wall to his right was a dark red, the ones in front and behind of him white - and to his left …

Tony swallowed past a lump in his throat as he looked out of a huge window, onto a city that was too bright, too tall, too impossible.

He was a long, long way from home.

***

“Captain Rogers.”

Steve looked up from the coffee machine, slightly embarrassed that he’d moved Tony’s AI to pity, but more relieved than anything else.

“Jarvis, hello, uh.” He cleared his throat. “So I’m aiming for a black -“

“There is another matter which requires your attention, although I would be happy to prepare some coffee for you.”

“Uh - right, thanks, that’s -“ Steve put the cup down, grimacing at the cracks in the handle. “What’s up?”

“Mr Stark appears to have undergone a transformation overnight.”

Steve blinked. No further information was forthcoming.

“A transfor - sorry, Jarvis, you’re going to have to give me a hand here.“

“He appears, to all intents and purposes, to be a seven-year-old boy.” Steve braced his hands against the kitchen counter, and sighed.

“Tony … OK, very funny, but also, very early in the morning. If you could hold off until -“

“I assure you, Captain, this is no joke,” Jarvis interjected, sounding slightly stressed. “It is against my programming to lie.“

“Right,” Steve snorted, gingerly picking up the cup, now full of hot coffee. “If this is a ploy to get coffee delivered, I’m surprised he doesn’t have a machine in his room.”

“Captain Rogers, I assure you -“

“Right, Tony, I’m coming, I’m coming,” Steve grumbled, heading toward the elevator to the personal levels. “Honestly, your dependence on this stuff, anyway …“

He faltered a little in his stride when the elevator doors opened to reveal Natasha, her brow furrowed.

“Nat?”

“Did Jarvis call you?”

“Yes - well, I sort of assumed it was Tony -“ Nat shook her head.

“No, I don’t think he’d mess with me. He values his limbs too much.” She smiled. “I was mid work-out, though, so if this does turn out to be a ruse, I’m all warmed up and ready to push him through something glass and replaceable.” Steve stepped in alongside her.

“You can’t seriously be suggesting that he’s a child?”

“Figuratively? Absolutely. Literally? Well … those were actual Nazi dinosaurs we fought last week.” The elevator doors opened on Tony’s floor.

“Where’s everyone else?” Steve directed to the ceiling, beginning to accept that this was how his morning was starting. They headed for Tony’s bedroom.

“You are the two on site I thought proper to inform,” Jarvis said. “Mr. Barton is perhaps not best suited to the sensitivity of this situation, and I deemed it unwise to put undue, unexpected pressure on Dr. Banner.” Steve raised an eyebrow.

“Well, now I’m concerned.”

“We’re also the best looking,” Natasha said, smirking at Steve. “Maybe this is his way of propositioning us for a threesome.”

“Are you -“ Steve stammered, heat flooding his face, “Do people really -“ Nat laughed and slapped him on the back, which he didn’t find reassuring at all. She reached for the door.

“If I may,” Jarvis said. “Captain, I thought you should be informed, but I believe it would be wiser for you to initially remain outside. Ms. Romanov will be better received.” Steve frowned, and took a step back. He felt adrenaline begin to prickle his skin. That did sound more like Jarvis than Tony. Nat’s eyes narrowed.

“If there actually is a child in here, Jarvis, I hope you’re not suggesting it needs ‘a woman’s touch.’”

“I can assure you, Ms. Romanov, the situation is rather more complicated than that.”

“Isn’t it always,” Nat muttered, pushing open the door.

MIKE PENCE AND THE FLY ...

The fly on the hir of Mike Pence could be a mini-drone directed at a distance by an anti- Donald Trump. It is easy to get such toys on amazon or in stores specializing in electronic stuff and it really look no different than a real fly. The device can be used as a simple toy or in more advanced versions as a spy by the police or the armed forces.

@riitarepulsa | liked for a starter! | tommy oliver (reboot)

Of course, the Oliver family had to show up in Angel Grove on the day that a giant monster and some sort of green sorceress tried to utterly destroy the town. He’d been separated from his parents for hours, frantically hunting for them in the ruins of a town that he hadn’t gotten a chance to know. The whole armored superheroes and giant robots thing was cool, but living in the middle of a Transfor/mers and Ave/ngers crossover wasn’t what the teen had in mind.

The big superhero battle seemed to be a one time thing and Tommy found himself satisfied when things quickly settled into some semblance of normalcy. Of course, N O R M A L C Y for a teen like Tommy Oliver meant that he’d gotten detention within two weeks of starting Angel Grove High. His parents hadn’t been overly thrilled, but it hadn’t been his fault this time. He’d H A D to step in when some assholes started bullying some tiny nerd kid. He hadn’t even thrown the first punch (this time), which was probably the reason that he’d gotten detention instead of suspension.

Tommy had had every intention of showing up on time for detention for once. He’d gotten there super early, dropped his stuff off in the designated classroom, then had set off for a quick walk around the school grounds to kill some time. It wasn’t his fault that something shiny and green had caught his eye, causing him to take time to exam it.

It’d been walked over, unnoticed, by a few hundred pairs of feet and it’d taken some time to work out of the dirt. Tommy felt drawn to the whatever it was, lifting it up so that it caught the light of the sun. There was something so seductively beautiful about the way the light caught it, the way it shimmered, the shade of deep green that it was. He curled his hand around it, feeling something warm course up his arm and through his body.

Tommy stared down at the coin that glimmered in the palm of his hand, utterly enthralled by his new discovery and unknowing of what he’d just opened his mind to.

sam’s sustainability lecture

SCAN IN LECTURE NOTES

From sam’s sustainability lecture i have further looked into some of the the people, products and things thats take place involving sustainability.

Elivis & Kresse

Since 2005 Elvis & Kresse have been saving London's decommissioned Fire Hose and using them like leather to make bags. This spiralled and the now reclaim many other items to use in their brand. They use Parachute silk for linings, they repurpose printing blankets, waste leather, coffee sacks, shoe boxes for packaging, tea sacks and auction banners. This list of items is growing and growing as they continue to look as recycling products; they have rescued over 165 tonnes so far. 

Transforing the waste their products are designed to be practical and withstand wear and tear meaning the user has less desirably to buy more stuff.

H&M WORLD RECYCLE WEEK 

Since H&M launched its Garment Collecting initiative in 2013, customers from every corner of the world have helped recycle 25,000 tonnes of their unwanted clothes. After items are collected in any of the more than 3,600 H&M stores worldwide, they are shipped to one of seven sorting plants where they are sorted to become either re-worn and sold in second-hand stores, re-used as cloths or upholstery, or re-cycled to become new fabric and essentially new items.
