I find myself hoping that the next iterations of Transformers shake up Optimus and Megatron’s backstories a bit more
I mean sure, Transformers One shook it up a little, having them both be miners and the creation of the Decepticons being a lot more spontaneous and for somewhat different reasons, but it still follows the general current backstory. They were friends before the war, Megatron created what would become the Decepticons originally to fight for change and equality in a corrupt Cybertron, their ideals start shifting as Megatron wants more forceful means and Optimus more peaceful, they split off and the war starts up from their disagreements on the situation. Megatron tends to take Optimus’ splitting off personally and Optimus still holds some amount of feelings towards Megatron due to their shared history. Also, Megatron is usually a gladiator or miner and while Optimus is more flexible, he’s usually a file clerk/archivist or in Earthspark and One’s case, a laborer
Like I mean, it’s not a bad backstory. But I think it’s been their general backstory for the past 15 years or so. By this point I think we can maybe change things up a little more
#like again One is different in a number of areas#but it still follows a lot of the general plot beats here#so it’s not different enough to me#and again I don’t think it’s bad it gives us that doomed yaoi#but there are other options for their backstories we can do and we don’t have to only use this one#like I don’t think Cyberverse or Earthspark really even went into detail on their backstories#well they kind of did particularly in Cyberverse#but it was mostly some lines and allusions because we’re already supposed to know the general backstory here#sure I’m still not super far in CV but I really don’t know what Megatron there was fighting to change#because we aren’t really shown the inequality they face we’re just supposed to already know it#so maybe in some places it’s being used as a crutch#but also again we have other ways we can do things why not try something new?#we’ve been doing this one for a while#transformers#optimus prime#Megatron

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve attended a poly wedding solo while dressed as a pirate I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.
#ramblies#my poor wife has a sinus infection and is miserable#and while I hate going to events solo we’ve had to reschedule with this friend so many times and I just really wanna show up for once even#if I have to conquer my social anxiety to do so#I’ve been to so many weddings where I just sit alone and no one talks to me and it’s agonizing but this is only an hour#I can be agonized for an hour

Jason and Roy get married in all 50 states.
It takes them about 15 years, what with all the marriage and divorce paperwork that has to be filed, but they do it.
The first few marriages and divorces are a Vegas wedding, a New Jersey divorce, and Californian wedding, a Californian divorce, and a New Jersey wedding. Everything after that has been an ongoing bit the two of them can’t stop doing, much to the consternation of their families.
Bruce and Oliver always seem to be discussing upcoming wedding details and if any of the JL ask it’s always the same kids.
JL Member: I thought they were already married?
Other JL Member: I thought they were already divorced??
#jason todd#roy harper#jayroy#royjay#batfam#i love the idea that they don’t invite people to their weddings so they tell them they’ll just get divorced quick#and invite them to the next one - then it turns into a bucket list of getting married in every state#it’s also great for deflecting about their personal lives#bat/arrow family member: how’re you doing? what’ve you been up to lately?#jason/roy: oh you know waiting for the divorce paper work to go through#bat/arrow fam: again?#jason/roy: well yeah we’ve already started planning the next wedding#bruce wayne#oliver queen#lian’s adoption paperwork is never altered/rescinded because while marriage is a joke being a parent isn’t

ughhhh one thing after another
#crickets apparently been pooping outside of her litter box and possibly peeing too. i thought her box was weirdly empty#but shes been going in the closet downstairs. which was one of spikes worst areas for that#tbh we arent sure if we were unfairly blaming spike for that now. its sorta difficult to know who was doing it#but obviously shes the only one it could possibly be now#im hoping its only because i tried changing her litter. usually shes not picky about it and shes used that brand fine#but she could be getting snootier with age idk. im gonna get her#old brand while im out today#im hoping its just that bc shes NEVER had litterbox issues before. shes always been wonderful about that#so im hoping theres nothing wrong healthwise#or maybe just that shes picking up that the closet is an ‘’okay’’ area to do that in because spike used it#and it’s something i gotta train out of here#her#we’ve blocked her off from it in the meantime#afaik its ONLY that room shes been doing it in but we’ll see i guess#echoed voice

why is my dad buying saxophone reeds hello
#he doesn’t play the saxophone he plays the coronet hello#my mom and I can play the saxophone but like. we aren’t#our saxophone technically belongs to his brother is he planning on giving it back or learning it??#i’m so confused. not what I meant when I strongly encouraged my parents to pick up their instruments again (my mom played clarinet)#what’s next the trombone. that would make more sense if he’s just trying to find something to do while he waits for his coronet to be fixed#me and my brother are literally getting the band back together lmaoo im finally recovering from my injury and playing my instruments again#and he’s teaching himself guitar (he’s only been playing six months if that and he’s amazing!!) and piano in addition to his drumming#hes even learning to sing (making progress but he’s not a singer). guess we’ve inspired my parents too. at least my dad#but. the saxophone?????#literally there are saxophone reeds in the Amazon cart. also the cork is probably so gross#no one’s taken the sax out of the case since I was in high school like over a decade ago#anyway. this is the music household I remember from my early childhood and it’s amazing#still confused at saxophone though

#and all of this is true while it is ALSO true that her songs age incredibly well#even debut or random soundtrack songs or endgame#whatever song people try to put on the worst Taylor songs list NEVER QUITE BELONGS#it doesn’t feel right. and to some extent occasionally in mercurial flashes I feel the same about her BEST songwriting list#I can never rank anything of hers ever because she can write better than she has written#if anything finds her own songwriting dead it’s what her future self will be able to achieve#and I think sometimes even the public can SENSE this about her and it’s part of why people are sooooo hard on her in a brutal way#and in a way they never are with other artists. who have reached the limits of their potential#Taylor has not reached the limits —that’s the simple way of saying it#in some way she is still figuring out the artist she is going to be#and I really do think that it is going to be absolutely astonishing#because in some ways (this is going to sound crazy) she is still distracted by her success and her tour#she’s NOT but I mean. the canon hasn’t been fully set free#there are still somehow things holding her back#and we’ve watched her outstrip so much of those early confines that fame and the business of the music industry strapped around her#we’ve seen her say ‘that doesn’t apply to me’#but actually she’s going to and she needs to and I believe she WILL continue to move into rarefied air#my mom helped me give me the final piece of this feeling (and it’s just a deep gut intuition/brain chemical thing for me)#when she said one day almost in mild exasperation: maybe one day Taylor will grow into a Dolly Parton#and something CLICKED#in my brain. and I don’t agree with my mom in terms of her non-interest in Taylor (as much as it has pained me to do so)#I think she’s worth loving and paying attention to now#but that gap that exists between people who love her and people who don’t (full time haters internet trolls do not interact)#I think it’s going to close with time as her work stretches out and out and grows and changes#like I think by the end of her career we are going to have something so astonishing#and to loop it back for a second to a previous thought. I think that’s why sometimes a taylor song can sound disjointed to me. because it#will hit the Depths of the Depth for a second. it will transcend and then it will go back to merely being an excellent pop song#those flashes are everywhere in her work but I think she is going to work and hone them into being conductors of light in a more steady way#the older she gets. does this sound INSANE. idk sometimes I think it does and then sometimes I think it DOESNt. so who knows. but yeah#it’s hard to say because I know it will read as more critical of Taylor than I mean it to be. when really I mean it with so much awe

I did what I always do when I get this storm anxiety and I watched goofy videos and reels all day and today ha get like three days and also I’m just so so so stressed about tomorrow night cause my whole family is gonna be split up around the county and I’m so so…. Not ok.
#very much so#uuugh#I hate tornadoes so freaking much.#would feel better if we had a storm shelter of ANY KIND but the closest we have is the half basement in my aunts hous (in the same yard as#us) but like!! NOTHING HERE. we live in a tiny ass trailer house!!!#I’m gonna fucking vomit.#and of course no one actually takes me seriously#like they are predicting SOFT BALL SIZE HAIL. not even tornadoes this time is the main worry 🥎 size hail.#uuuuuuugh. I think most everyone in the family will be home….. when it hits….. but fuck dude I think my sister will still be at work and#she is the BIGGEST liability in this shit thunderstorms do NOT scare her at all and I HATE IT.#and by that I don’t me ‘she doesn’t worry’ I MEAN SHE STANDS OUT ON OUR METAL FRONT PORCH AND WATCHES THEM.#she’s crazy!!!!#I know I’m just….. repeating myself a lot but I’m so terrified you guys.#I don’t think anything will happen and yet…. this is so scary to me#and I’m just…. it’s the first time in a while we’ve been directly in the Bad Zone and it’s so so scary

#the new guy is seriously getting on everyone’s nerves#he has reached into mine and someone else’s bags without asking permission#not persona bags but like shopping bags#we had both bought candy and he came over to take some without asking#he followed a coworker into the bathroom#followed one of our team leads to a restaurant across the street#and also sat right next to a coworker while she was having a very personal conversation on her break#she was sitting in her secret spot and he found her#she was talking to her husband who just got out the hospital#he also does this thing where he just has to follow people like a lost puppy#if you take 3 steps to the left he’s doing it too#it’s so fucking annoying#and it’s not like we’re all just mad about this in secret#we’ve been telling him to back off and give us personal space but it’s in one ear and out the other#he’s also just kind of an asshole

So I got a promo for Transformers One, and it still has a different vibe from the actual movie
Feels more like a fun romp between a group of friends as they prove to be more than what everyone thinks they are :D, and not what it actually is
Probably why there wasn’t much D-16 in it tbh
#sorry random#but I just wanted to say it#marketing still isn’t correct on the vibe#marketing: fun story about a group of friends becoming heroes#movie: we are under an authoritarian regime that we must dismantle we’ve all been lied to#and the corruption and fall of one of your closest friends while you can’t do anything to stop it only stop him#anyways I think everyone knows the drill on the marketing#transformers one#trailer#random stuff

#been thinking if they did kill off somebody#would tend to agree with the general consensus that it would (probably?) be bobby#the big bobby storyline coming and the bts of peter…. 😬#i would be very surprised if they killed buck after just getting done with the bi buck arc#feels a little too close to the bury your gays trope rn lol#i’ve always maintained that the will likely saves eddie from being killed off#because i just don’t see this show wanting to actually go through with giving christopher to buck#unless they decide to undo the will entirely (which is possible given some of the bts we’ve seen as of late but prob not likely)#i trust kenny is correct in his assertion that madney is post-wedding bliss so they’re probably fine#i don’t see them killing off hen after doing this mara storyline#and they’re not gonna write off angela bassett a second sooner than they have to lmao#tommy feels… possible? not super likely given the same reason as buck but he’s not a main so who knows#marisol straight up doesn’t matter enough to be considered lmao#doubt anyone at dispatch is involved either#so that being said… bobby feels like the most likely choice#with eddie as a slight possibility#and maybe tommy if they aren’t going mcd (god please no)#anyway#just had some thoughts given the new episode title#i hope no one is killed but with the network move and tim being back… it feels more real than it has in a while

in other news i cannot stop fucking listening to Brokenheartsville by Joe Nichols and i’m starting to annoy myself with it but. i cannot stop. it’s too good
#Seven.txt#music stuff#it’s this perfect mix of being applicable to my current taste while also being a very nostalgic song for me#‘cause i liked it when i was a kid. and i recently heard it on my father’s radio outside. and man it’s been y e a r s since i’ve heard it#why is it so addictive to me#like. you cannot make a song that opens with the lyrics-#‘He wore that cowboy hat to cover up his horns. *insert seductive guitar sounds here* Sweet-talkin’ forked tongue had a temptin’ charm.’#and expect my southern and devil-loving ass to not go fucking feral over it#even when i’m not listening to it it’s playing in my head. was analyzing the lyrics the whole time i was in the shower earlier#but what’s funny is i think i’ve listened to it so many times that i’ve developed a whole new story than the one actually being told#but like. with how much he’s supposedly upset that this guy stole his girl or whatever#which i know he’s probably just comparing some dude to the devil and not actually saying that it was the Devil Himself#but it’s so much better if u picture it as actually being the devil that’s picking up this dude’s girlfriend in a bar#but anyways given how that’s supposed to be the point. he spends so much time describing the devil and ain’t got shit to say abt his girl#like okay buddy. we know you liked his cowboy hat. we know you liked his sweet-talkin’ tongue.#we’ve heard all about the make and model of his Long and Chrome Very Red Hot Sexy Devil Car#do u not have anything to say abt ur girlfriend. are u not gonna wax poetic abt her? no? too busy admiring the Devil and his Hot Car?? yeah#we’re gathering that#like.. brother… i dunno how to tell u this but i think u might wanna fuck him a lil bit#‘Love’s gone to hell and so have I.’ yeah!! i’m gathering that!! good for u dude!! get it!!#so now the whole time i’m listening to it i’m just like. this is a love song abt the devil!#which it isn’t. but it could be!! and so that’s what i’m choosing to see it as. bc i’d feel the same way tbh#i much prefer the idea of him being pissed that he missed his chance to run away w/ the devil than being pissy over his girlfriend leaving#it’s just so much more appealing to me im sorry#also. side note. when i was a kid i thought the line was ‘that angel up in the air’ and not ‘that angel who did me in’#and i don’t know how i misheard it so badly but now i sing it wrong every fuckign time cause it’s still cemented in my head from childhood#how young was i. hold on.#oh yeah it came out in 2002. so yeah i was quite young when i heard it a lot so i think im forgiven for mishearing it so badly lmao

i’m just yelling to the void here but does anyone have any cool fun ways to talk abt how asexual I am on a date
#I cannot BELIEVE I agreed to this#do I want to go? yes#have I been freaking out bc I don’t understand straight ppl? very much so#how to be like absolutely do not touch me but in like a fun and chill way#😐😐😐I’m fucked#I have never felt more queer in my life and it is weirdly affirming while also a logistical nightmare#asexual#acespec#asexuality#how do I an adult explain to another adult that my sexuality is no thanks#but that I still want to vibe it out#is it even fair to ask another adult to let me vibe it out#it’s just that I had no interest in vibing it out as a teenager so now I’m an adult who doesn’t fucking know shit#and doesn’t really want to?? except that all of a sudden maybe I do??#fucking christ#also no one is gonna read this but I for some reason need to defend myself—we’ve been coworkers for almost a year#which is how I got myself into a situation where I agreed on a date but that stuff didn’t come up#like it’s not like we met on a dating app or something and I didn’t state my fucking intentions or whatever we’re FRIENDS#he knows I’m queer but not the specific flavor

I honestly think Harry Potter needs to die out completely or else it will remain a cultural phenomenon that will keep regular people who don’t know about JKR continuously putting money in her pocket but what do I know
#Like fanfic and pirating it seem like they don’t do anything#but it keeps Harry Potter alive. And it keeps JKR in a position of influence#I mean look. We’ve known JKR has been an asshat for years.#But Harry Potter is STILL HUGE and she’s STILL RICH#As much as I believe in separating the art from the artist there are times where you just can’t#And I’m a firm believer that this is one of those#Honestly I’m not even trans#And I’ve met multiple trans people who do still openly interact with HP stuff and it’s just like#I don’t get it?#Why do I keep myself from interacting with stuff FOR YOU GUYS#as a sign of support and respect#While yall keep interacting like it like it doesn’t support someone actively campaigning for your removal

Jeremy Dutcher! opera singer and songwriter of the Wolastoq First Nation, made the album Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa building off of archival recordings of traditional Wolastoqiyik songs. Here’s “Mehcinut” from that album:
youtube
And Connor Chee! Navajo pianist and composer who writes pieces inspired by traditional Navajo song and chant, life and culture. This piece “Fry Bread” is from his video series Scenes from Dinétah:
youtube
bro i LOVE indigenous fusion music i love it when indigenous people take traditional practices and language and apply them in new cool ways i love the slow decay and decolonisation of the modern music industry
#i went looking for classical music by Black and indigenous folks a while back after reading a book about white classical gatekeeping#that pointed out that while we’ve done our very best to keep them out of classical (and killed the medium almost stone dead doing so)#there ARE Black and indigenous composers!! and incredible ones#it’s just getting their stuff performed by orchestras that has historically been impossible#anyway i like Jeremy Dutcher and Connor Chee’s music very much!!#and now Piqsiq omg#find later tag

I have HAD IT with this lake, it’s the third day in a row we’ve had nitrates above 8 ppm and uug the algae, my allergies I can’t do this
♻️🐟carpy-diem Follow
Lol we regularly get nitrates up to 20 ppm in my lake ♻️🦞crawdaddy Follow uhhh you shouldn't be bragging about that, it's really unsafe ♻️🐟carpy-diem Follow suck it you little oligotrophic bitch

🐢snappturt Follow Dear Tumblr, am I the Basshole for the way I catch minnows? I was chatting with some of the guys I bask with and they said the way I catch minnows is problematic; What I do is I sit on the bottom of the lake, I hide myself in the mud and I open my mouth. My tongue looks a lot like a little worm so I wiggle it around- and because of that, minnows swim over and check it out. Once they get close enough, then I bite down and eat them. Some of my rockmates have told me that this is manipulative and toxic behavior- but they also eat minnows...I don't know guys...

never thought i'd seen one of my mutuals irl!!! I didn't even know we lived in the same lake!!!

🐠Shadlad Follow I'm not sorry, and I'm not afraid to say it, if you're an introduced species, go dry yourself out. You're not welcome to eat up all of our resources and live in my ancestral longs and rock crags. These things are for us to relate to and not for you to squander.
♻️🦞crevice-steve Follow
Can't believe this type of fishcourse is still popular on this site, introduced species didn't choose to be introduced and have as much of a right to live as anyone else. Bigotry against introduced species is still bigotry and that's a hill I will dry on. ♻️🐠Shadlad Follow Go ahead, dry yourself out then ;) ♻️🪷nootnootnewt Follow Hey man, I hate invasive species as much as anyone else but please stop telling people to beach themselves for political reasons- yeah that includes inavsives too ♻️🦐typical_scud Follow Did you legit just use the word Invas*ve to describe introduced species? ♻️🦢flatfootswimmer Follow anyone in this thread eat pondweed?

♻️🐟largemouthbASS Follow A colab with my mutual @2xcrested_cormorant after they got released from the wildlife hospital. They haven't been on much since the Fish and Wildlife Service released them in the wrong lake and it took them a while to get back to their colony. We hope this guide will help you avoid accidentally eating/engaging with bait!
