While we're all thinking about the future...

Check out the app Goods Unite Us. It's an excellent app for letting folks know which brands and businesses have supported political parties that align with their personal values. I like the idea of helping brands and companies that value ME.

Character breakdown for any of the G1 Stunticons? Motormaster or Dead End, Wildrider, etc? Whichever you feel implored to discuss?

Imma do Breakdown for this one. There will be some overlapping of other continuities and I will talk about the other Stunticons, so no worries.

How I feel about this character: Nervous himbo energy. I. G1 he's an anxious boi who just follows what the others are doing. I was surprised by that since I grew up watching TFP and I knew him as the buff fighter who doubled as his husband's partner's medical assistant. It makes sense given his name is Breakdown, and I guess G1 and TFP took that word and used different meanings for it.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Nobody in G1, I'm a KOBD shipper all the way. They're adorable in IDW1 too. Wish they showed more of how Knock Out cared about him when he died in TFP. One of the only things the United Warriors comic did kinda well.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: The rest of the Stunticons. Motormaster is just a big angry himbo, Drag Strip is that bitch who always makes fun of you, Dead End is literally dead inside and frankly I can't blame the guy I would be too if I looked like a light switch, and Wildrider is batshit insane and they should contain him bro is like a rabid dog ready to bite somebody. All of them are chaotic in their own ways and as a whole, which is why they're probably my favorite of the Decepticon combiner teams in G1.

My unpopular opinion about this character: Not an unpopular opinion really, but Breakdown shouldn't have been killed off like that in TFP. If they wanted to kill him off, it could've been done so much better. And I'm kinda interested in Emperor Kumquat's idea of Autobot Breakdown.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: This applies to a lot of characters in G1 to be honest, but I wish we got more character development with them. A lot of characters have the bare minimum of a personality, but I think the Stunticons are some of the most diversified characters when it comes to combiner teams. Most of the characters we get more nuance for are Autobots, so it's nice to have some more Decepticons that stand out. I wish they were more expanded on in the show, but I wasn't expecting it to happen since the show only existed to sell pre-made toys.

Images of Star Raider Thundertron.

The head on Thundertron is more accurate but I don’t like the hook hand and I don’t care about Nightstrike or the rock so pass.

Your jaw problems made me suddenly scared of my own jaw...

Genuinely, there is nothing worse than being hyper-aware of your own mouth...

You can look up some exercises to strengthen the muscles that hold your jaw together to make it less and less likely you'll ever have this issue.

I will say, my original dentist completely brushed it off, actually said "What do you want me to do about it?" like I was complaining about a paper cut, and only told me to stretch my mouth like I was yawning after he realized he couldn't even get a pinky in between my teeth to try to feel the back of my jaw.

Just looking online, there are a lot of things you can do to protect your TMJ area. So many stretches, so many daily little things you can rely on. And once it goes nuclear, there actually ARE a couple treatments available. I mean, it's not much, but it's more than nothing.

I've been drinking warm water and chamomile tea, that helps relax everything from the inside out, my vibrating face massager I got for washing at night helps work out tension in my jaw, and I'm still able to do my stretches.

The first time this happened, it was horrific. This time, it must be a partial slip or something, because it's really tense. Like, imagine jutting your bottom teeth as far forward as you can and just holding it like that (don't actually do it in case you hurt yourself). That's how I feel all the time, and yet I can't get my bottom teeth in front of my top teeth at the moment.

But beyond that tension, there is extremely little actual pain. Little teeny TMJ headaches that vanish as soon as I use my face vibrator, but it really is mainly that my jaw feels like when you balance a plate on an uneven surface.

So I'm not sure what to expect Monday at the dentist, but I can already say this, at least up to this point, feels better than last time. And even if the dentist is like "We need to totally unhinge your jaw and re-set it", like the worst-case scenario I definitely don't qualify for, they sedate you for that.

But realistically, I'm betting at MOST I'm offered some anti-inflammatories (because there is swelling), MAYBE a brief prescription of anti-anxiety meds for the stress, and POSSIBLY but not likely a TENS treatment, which won't feel too much different than my face vibrator (it's teeny electrical impulses from stickers on your skin, maybe it makes my cheek twitch).

So like, it's scary, and it's really horrible to deal with if it happens because you're just SO hyper-aware of your own mouth... But dentists can give you drugs. And even if they don't, in my experience, even when it went nuclear on me, it was locked for like 9 days and then over the course of 3 days suddenly released.

There's no pop back in, no scary noises, it was just each day I realized I could open my mouth a little more until it was all better.

these faces Izzy makes during Thorn's little monologue here do kind of feel like Lila's realization that the cool thing she uncovered is now being actively used against her mom in an argument even before she realizes that she does actually agree with Thorn over Tula for once

"It's a pleasure to meet you." from Frankenstein! [@frnknstin]

for lavish balls and parties [accepting] [x]

By this era, her country had become a pinnacle of the world in terms of arts and education. Children were attending schools by the hundreds, and for the first time, artists were a class of their own.

Of course, for many years, her family did not directly rule the country. The Shogunate was responsible for that, with her father and mother being more figureheads in the court. The Americans had breached their shores. And fairly recently, a group of samurai had toppled the Shogunate, replacing it with the Emperor's son- Meiji.

As head priestess of Ise, Himiko-hime was not exactly as important to politics as her parents or the Emperor was. But she was required still to entertain, to search the skies and serve her people by seeking visions from the kami.

It had been years since she had attended a banquet beside her family and brother, watching foreigners mingling with the courtesans for the first time in centuries... If not eons.

This particular one, her handmaiden told her, was a very accomplished scientist from Europe. With her half-divine senses tuned, she was able to focus upon the man, her hands folded calmly.

"It is a pleasure to meet you as well, young man." He was only so much younger than her-- "I have heard you have reached the top of your scientific society's ranks. That's admirable. Could you tell me more about your studies?"

Smiling gently at him, she beckoned him closer with a flick of her folded fan.

Ok so trying to make my own tfp breakdown figurine with paper completely bombed, so I instead got a cheap transformers figurine for 4.50€ at the corner store near my house and repainted him with nail polish and acrylic paint

Just pretend after the whole Unicron thing in unite warriors comic he got upgraded again and now looks like this

[weirdloverwilde]

equating unit needs to not be normalised and encouraged by the doctor and actually needs to be changed, the same way similar organisations in the real world need to be, with someone agreeing with conrad's mission and the real world groups he is paralleling is obviously dumb but it sure makes people's arguments easier to dismiss!!!!

okok everything in the sister oneshot can still be canon bc white dc still remembers being enslaved because there was like. a period where there was 1 avatar from 1867 (when black men gained the right to vote and shit was actually looking up when it came to being a functioning biracial democracy) to 1913 (when woodrow wilson started discriminating in government jobs which were pretty much the 1 occupation that hadn’t been doing that already + jim crow was happening) and they had access to each other’s memories then. white dc remembers it far less vividly obviously but she does Have the memories and bringing them up is one of her many berserk buttons because she considers it a personal failing that she can’t bury them. shes afraid theyre going to like. taint her or something. idk racism makes people really fucking stupid
