Robby the Robot has a faux cameo in Bat-Mite (2015) by Dan Jurgens and Corin Howell!

[theodorejamisonseville]

“Tonight, I’m helping Alvin sew a baseball cap for Geizmo. He forgot he was supposed to practice his Home Ec skills and now he’s gotta do it at the last minute like he always does.”

“But it’s really fun hanging out with him. Maybe the next time we can hang out and do something that isn’t homework.”

Nerdy fandoms are roughly 75% fun, 25% cringe. Wouldn't have it any other way.

UPDATE: Woof. Make that 80% cringe.

My x-men teacher headcannons

Scott Summers

The kids have a dumb nickname for him that he only tolerates because he wants them to think he’s cool (none of them think that)

Now hear me out. He’s the drivers Ed teacher. (Yes this extends to the X-jet) I just think it fits him- I can’t even explain it

Every-time a student asks him to sponsor a club he just says yes. He ends up with a variety of random clubs to sponsor

Rouge

The kids are afraid of her at first but love her by the end

She teaches auto-mechanics and gym

She really wants to coach some kind of sports team but hasn’t had the time for it

Remy Lebeau

The kids love him. They trust him and think he’s cool. None of the adults do.

He teaches sex-Ed (canonically) but I think he’d also teach home ec. He loves cooking and spent the entire krakoa era househusbanding- he’d love it.

He really wants to run a cooking club but can’t get enough students to join

Kurt Wagner

In cannon most students think he’s creepy but it’s a school for mutants so fuck that. They love him in my heart. They just also think his jokes are stupid and he’s cringe.

He started out teaching German but got bored of it pretty quickly

I could’ve see him as a kinder garten teacher. He loves working with the little ones and they love him. He’s definitely one of those teachers who has a classroom theme every year that they overdecorate for.

If he’s not a kindergarten teacher he’d do theater. Man would go all out for a Shakespearean play,

He also runs a ton of extracurriculars- baseball (which he canonically loves), Bible study, and gymnastics. He really wants a sword fighting club but was rejected because it was too dangerous.

Colossus

He has a gaggle of kids that hang out in his room during lunch

He teaches art class (I’m fairly certain that’s already cannon)

He runs an art club and does the school musical every year, which he runs like the goddamn navy

Kitty pryde

Tries to stay hip with the kids and lets them call her by her first name.

She teaches any tech related class or club you could think of. Even if only one student is interested she will beg for it to be on the curriculum

I don’t think she’d actually enjoy being a teacher all that much. Maybe later on she’d go on to be a dean or social worker, and much later the headmistress.

She runs a robotics club that she’s been trying to bypass anti mutant laws to bring to state competitions every year. She also runs the Jewish student union

If you want me to do anyone else please just ask (:

Pokémon Prom: Arven

Pairing: Arven x GN! reader

Word count: 959

Content: fluff, prom

Summary: a part of my Pokémon Prom series where Pokémon characters ask you out to prom (Arven ver).

Arven can feel the moisture gather at his palms, making them a sweaty mess. He can’t help it, though–this is probably the most nervous he’s been in a while. He’s rehearsed at least a couple hundred times in front of the mirror, afraid to mess up, but the more he practices, the more he thinks he’ll mess up.

“Okay–it’s simple, just ask,” he mutters, clenching and unclenching his hands. “The worst that can happen is a rejection–”

“Is this seat taken?”

Arven’s head swivels so fast he’s pretty sure his neck is broken. “Yeah–no. I mean, no it’s not taken.”

You laugh, taking the spot next to him. “You okay, Arven?”

“Yeah.” He can feel his throat dry as his hands get clammier. “Yeah.”

Your initial smile tips downwards. “Are you sure? You–”

“Yeah!” He says it so loudly that he knows people are looking. “I’m just–ugh.” Nervous? Yeah. But it’s not like he can say that without you asking why. “Don’t mind it. I guess I slept kinda badly last night.”

“Ugh, yeah, that sucks.” Your frown eases into a smile. “But hey! No worries, I’m pretty good at home ec., so having me as your partner should help!”

Partner, Arven repeats inside his head, but says, “Yeah, guess I’ll have to count on you a little this time.”

Before you can say anything else, Mr. Saguaro enters the room, his pink shirt straining against his muscles. “Hello class,” he beams, “I hope you’re excited for today’s class. We’re going to learn how to make sweet hearts. It is a chocolate that gives Pokemon twenty HP when consumed. A fantastic way to let your Pokemon know you love them, no?”

Love, Arven thinks, before smacking his cheeks to rid himself of the thoughts.

You glance at him, whispering, “Are you okay?”

“Yeah–yeah. I’m good.” Arven pretends to give his full attention to Mr. Saguaro even though his attention is pretty firmly set on you. You look at him a bit longer, before following suit and looking at Mr. Saguaro, who has already begun to write the recipe down on the whiteboard.

“Seems pretty simple,” you note, before standing up. “I’ll get the ingredients, so stay here, okay?”

“I can–” Arven begins, but is shut up by your look. “...Okay.”

Satisfied with his answer, you stand up to get the ingredients and tools to make the sweet hearts. 

Arven watches as you leave, internally chastising himself for being so abnormal. He made you worry about him because of how oddly he was acting. Shit. Still, he can’t help but think about how sweet you are. Worried about him–he didn’t deserve it…

The thud of metal hitting the table snaps him out of his own thoughts. He looks towards you as you look down on him. “Got the stuff.”

“Thanks,” Arven responds, repositioning the cuffs of his sleeves. “Let’s get started.”

“You don’t have to tell me twice,” you laugh, watching as Arven sets the tools out. You’d have helped, but Arven’s movements are too quick for you to interject. Instead, you glance at the board to read the instructions. “We’ve got to heat some hot water first, then put a bowl inside the pot.”

“On it.” Arven put everything in place almost robotically, showing his years and years of experience in cooking. You keep watch as he dumps the chocolate chips into the bowl, using a spoon to stir. 

“Huh. You don’t need the instructions?”

“Nah,” he responds, “I’ve done this a lot.”

“Heh.” You grin. “Your Pokemon are lucky to have you–they must be constantly well fed!”

“I’m lucky to have them,” Arven responds, tapping the spoon against the side of the bowl to get the excess chocolate off, “I was really lucky to have met you, honestly.”

“Huh?”

“Yeah–before it was just me and Mabosstiff. But now I have a full team, and I’ve got you. And the student prez and shortie too, I guess.” He mindlessly pours the chocolate batter into the heart molds, before sprinkling some berry powder on the top. His own words only begin to settle in when he realizes that you’ve been silent for a while, and he almost knocks the chocolates over. “I mean–”

“I’m grateful to you too, Arven.” You give him such a bright, earnest smile that he honestly can’t help but flush. “You’re one of the reasons why I got settled into Paldea so well, you know? Thanks for being a part of my journey.” You give a little laugh. “Maybe you’ll be willing to be a part of my next journey, too.”

“Yeah, ‘course.” Arven swallows. “Actually… speaking of adventures…”

“Hm?”

“Do you–you know. The–that is–” Arven taps the chocolate mold against the table to get rid of air bubbles. “You know.”

“Yeah?” you encourage as you melt some more chocolate over the stove.

“The dance. The one that’s coming up… I was wondering if you’d–like, do you want to go? Together? No pressure, though.”

“Oh.” You blink. “Oh!” Laughter bubbles out of you. “That’s what it was, huh?”

“Huh?”

“You’ve been acting weird all class, y’know.”

“I wasn’t.”

You give him a flat look, before huffing out a laugh. “All right, fine, whatever. I’d be glad to go with you.”

Arven blinks, before his lips twitch upwards. “You mean it?”

“Of course!” you laugh. “Why wouldn’t I mean it?” 

“Yes!” he cheers, loud enough that the class looks at him. He sheepishly tacks on, “I’m so glad our sweet hearts are turning out well.”

You suppress a laugh. “Yeah, totally.”

He looks at you, before clearing his throat when your eyes meet. “...So, can I pick you up for dinner? Uh–before the dance, that is?”

You grin. “Does five work?”

He smiles back. “Five works great.”

☕ i vaguely remember a meta post of yours mentioning that point one percenters were a useless concept and that it also messes up megs' narrative, i'd love to read the full version of that take!

You are remembering this post, which covers the basic reasons I feel like IDW Megatron specifically does not work as a point one percenter!

More broadly, I have two big problems with the concept existing in a general sense. The first one is that it's simply ill-defined in a way where it simultaneously is not clear what it even means and yet that ambiguity is not taken advantage of for storytelling purposes the way that, say, the nebulous idea of what an outlier is gets used. Outliers don't have a clear definition, in the story- but the basic concept of 'some of these robots can do weird superpower shit outside the norm, and they are recognised as being a kind of weird group everyone sort of side-eyes suspiciously' is easy to understand as a reader and by keeping it vague, it can be used to explain quite a wide variety of character abilities without running into too much nitpicky 'hey, but that ability doesn't really match what we know about outliers, so...' stuff. It's also presented pretty value neutrally a lot of the time; Skywarp and Thundercracker aren't like, Special Chosen Ones because they can do a couple weird tricks other characters can't, they're just sort of anomalies with a couple useful abilities up their metaphorical sleeves, yknow.

Compare that to a 'point one percenter'. What is the one-sentence elevator pitch for this concept? That their sparks are... stronger, somehow. (Higher energy? More resilient? Harder to snuff out?) Okay, and what does that mean for the characters, what does that do? Well. Maybe it's why Megatron is Just That Strong, apparently. MTMTE also says this, not being an outlier, is why Minimus can wear external armour without issue- but also it's not like every point one percenter can necessarily do this, so I guess it's different depending on the mech? Or maybe they can all do it and just don't. Who Knows. I guess it's why Overlord survived becoming a phase sixer- but it's not what makes him Just That Strong. But also I guess Megatron could beat him in hand to hand combat at some point. Magnus can't though, and he's ostensibly a point one percenter? Basically, there's never really even that very broad line drawn around what the hell it means or why anyone cares someone has an extra-radioactive green spark.

And I think the point there is that like... most of the fandom just assumes Minimus' ability is being an outlier, right? And for a good reason: a ton of the stuff point one percenters can potentially do is better explained by them simply being outliers! And there we hav a problem. Having these two unrelated groups of mechs that are nebulously Different And Special to explain certain things they can do that other characters can't is just confusing when really, one would realistically do, and the reason I think it's the point one percent concept that ought to go and not the outlier concept is that the latter just raises a lot less questions.

Questions like, you know, hey, why the entire hell does this comic need an objectively measurable way to tell if someone's soul is somehow just inherently kind of "superior by" some metric. That's such a bizarre fucking thing to introduce into a narrative trying to do what MTMTE is doing; if the forged/cold construct divide brings a lot of baggage into MTMTE's themes, the point one percent stuff is just a total albatross around its neck, IMO. All point one percenters have forged souls (even Megatron, that being the twist of EC), and point one percenters are all these big important genuinely Just Plain Better characters like Megatron and Optimus and so on where the reader is clearly supposed to have this feeling of like, 'oh of course those guys are the special ones'.

If there was some attempt to explore how like, being a point one percenter just meant you could lift real good or whatever and wasn't actually meaningful in any other way but became unfairly treated as a sign of greater "superiority" nonetheless, I might see a clearer goal to the concept being introduced; you could maybe do something with "this thing that is actually very small and arbitrary is fluffed up by the powers that be as way more than it actually is". But like... all the named point one percenters we ever see outside a couple cons Megatron made bigshots in the army are genuinely these people who outside just being physically very strong, are on a narrative level understood to be the sorts of characters one might call 'destined for inherent greatness', or something. Right? There's no random nobody never-did-anything-special Lost Light background character who turns out to be a point one percenter who's just Some Guy, or anything. They're all iconic named high command type characters with Epic Fates and shit, lmao.

(Minimus could have been that character, even as a protagonist, because of the conceit of his arc in MTMTE- but they really never manage it with him either, tbh. And again, it really feels like that was much more in line with the outlier concept, and fits better there anyway.)

There's just a lot of 'have your cake and eat it too' with this whole barely-touched plotline in MTMTE, for basically no payoff that couldn't be achieved another way. Where Roberts falters with character writing is IMO when he's writing characters he is kind of precious about due to being a longterm, hardcore fan with nostalgia- you see a lot of that sentimentality at points when he's writing these characters from his childhood like Optimus or Megatron. A sort of elevation of these characters due to their metatextual status as iconic and narratively important that other characters (including, notably, Rodimus) benefit from not being subject to. And the point one percenter idea is, ultimately, a way to try and make that an objective fact in universe, it feels to me. Some of these characters just are better in a special, vague, you-know-why way. But like. MTMTE is a story that wants to talk about how presenting certain kinds of people as Just Better is wrong and cruel, too- and that tension doesn't wind up being used for anything productive. So if there's one single piece of worldbuilding I would fully remove wholesale from the comic, it would probably be this one. More than just being largely narratively irrelevant, it's also genuinely something of a problem for the comic's attempted themes.

I SEE ALLLLL

I AM PLACING ON MY BLOG FOR THE SOLE REASON OF BEING ABLE TO STARE AT THESE DOODLES EASIER. (I am going to stim into oblivion at some point but shhhsh what does it matter /silly)

Ahem. Okay, context! Well, some of it. @gyxtar0luvs made a joke about our robos hand-holding and uh, it has now spiralled into them being partners. I am not complaining in the slightest.

(Y’all have no idea how much they’re rotting both our brains. Send help. /j)

I’ll put the full under the cut!

Lottery To Upgrade 2

Best career

"Why me!?" Eric kept running but almost reached his limit. He has just been a rookie policeman for a month. He believes that maintaining social order is the best way to serve his alien masters. He does not need any lottery.

"You could be a police bot. You will be better. Police obeys rulers. You are police." The police bots run closer and closer but Eric still didn’t want to give up.

"Policeman turned Fugitive. Subject will be reclassified. Running skill is detected. Data uploaded. Carry out mandatory arrests."

An electric current concentrated on Jack, causing him to convulse and fall into a coma.

"It's so rare, I thought police officers would become police bots without a doubt" A scientist said when he read the data.

"Well, the police are law enforcer, should obey the law and rule made by masters without any doubts. Yet the subject run away. It is obviously that he could not be a police bot." The laboratory chief explained.

"Poor guy. It was his dream job from childhood. We obey masters so we can dream. Some people don’t understand, what a pity."

"He is luck because of his running ability and feeling jealous of others who were not chosen. He is reclassified to another similar type: Hunter bot."

"How genius masters are! He will hunt down those escapers and bring them back to face the same fate as himself! Must be the best career for him!"

After several minutes, the lifeless, featureless metallic robot finally came to life. "Hunter bot EC-1984 online. Ready to serve and hunt!"

Transformers got me chat.

Well Hellow my dear childrens ! I’m here again

I always struggle to post a new obsession so ~here I am~

Today’s subject : transformer. ORIGINAL CHARACTERS, Transformers.

This was my first time drawing mechs, so at the beginning I had a hard time understand how to Cybertronian,

Gladly I’m a fast learner ! Hyperfixation always here to carry me :)

This first one, was based of a Grumman E2 Hawkeye plane (communication, monitoring)

His name is Signal.

I got him captain America’s shield (on his back) because look at this perfection :

That’s a funny plane (I went wild with colors I know)

Soooo he is a Decepticon, the ‘i can fix them’ type. First he joined the Decepticon side because he believed in revolution and equality, and when it went to shit he just stayed because he wanted to fix everything

(Spoiler he didnt, he became worst).

Kinda like him but I don’t really plan to keep him and draw him actively (BUT THE OTHERS……..)

So. They are together because they work in pair, meet Halo and Rumblerust ! Or Plotde Chantier (his second name)

An ex wrecker and a girl who isn’t very skilled at fighting but can do the talking pretty well and run away fast enough for her life. They are based of a demolition machine and a random Russian plane I found pretty :))

Aaaaaand the last one for today, AKA my pretty baby boyyy~~~~

Meet RADIANT :

That motherfucker was too hard to design. You are reading the words of a dead body.

This is a little part of my struggles :D

Sooo Radiant is an helicopter, a EC-645, not very big, but polyvalent

He has sunshine energy, loves earth music and had a hard time understanding the ‘robot in disguise’ part…

ALSO IM DOING THE INKFORMERS (INKTOBER TRANSFORMERS CHALLENGE ON INSTAGRAM) If y’all are interested I can post it here too lol !!

One page about Eiyu Club film "Evaroid Seria" from HEROINE magazine Volume 2 (2004). This edition focused on independent heroine tokusatsu production companies such as Eiyu Club, Center Island, and more.

English translation below the cut:

[Below “Serya”]

The next image character created by Eiyu Club after "Cyber ​​Lady Suzuka" is "Seria". The beauty of the mask design is the best in the history of masks!

[In box with two other characters]

Heroes Century 01

Seria, Blue Lilac, and Red Lilac appeared at an independent film screening held at Jungle, a video shop in Osaka. We usually only see heroines on TV screens or in print, but at these events the heroines jump out of the 2D world into the 3D world, which is very exciting. Once you go to a heroine event, you'll be hooked!

[Middle right text, below waist-up image of Seria]

Evaroid Seria

An android (Evaroid) designed for VIP protection, belonging to the Metropolitan Police Department-designated private organization "Police Support Service (P.S.S.)." Her product name is "SLRYASS," and she is the 12th unit of the female-type EC series. Normally, Evaroids are given unique names, but she retains her product name as her personal identifier. The reason behind this is that her assignment to protect Hayato Kusunoki was decided so suddenly that there was no time to assign her a proper name. She usually operates in human form (Normal Mode), but in emergency situations, she activates her Guard Mode, transforming into a combat-ready form. (Appears in: Seria)

[Small text, below image of the two Evaroids back to back]

Evaroid Seria and Evaroid Ai. They are basically androids designated by the Metropolitan Police Department to guard important people, with Seria being the superior Evaroid. They also have slightly different designs.

[Below image to the right of that one, with Normal Mode Seria flanked by two Zombies]

Seria’s battle scenes are quite intense. Her beauty is further enhanced by the intensity of the battle.

[Text to the left of the image of Seria flat on the ground]

Seria’s damage scene. A fallen heroine is a beautiful sight.

[Below image of two unmasked women in Evaroid suits]

The two suit actresses inside Seria and Ai. Their smiles are beautiful!

[Text inside red box with ‘data’ title]

"Seria" (2002)

In the near future, the rapid development of androids is bringing about major social change... The radical anti-robot organization "Executive Destruction Federation" bares its fangs at androids and people who support robots. Hayato Kusunoki, a tough reporter, stands up to the "Executive Destruction Federation" with his sense of justice. And Seria, a female android (Evaroid) who protects important people, is given a secret mission to protect him. The two gradually become attracted to each other... However, Hayato approaches the depths of the "Executive Destruction Federation" despite Seria’s warnings. When Hayato is in danger, Seria faces a powerful enemy that exceeds her own capabilities and is deeply hurt. Hayato rushes to repair Seria, but the gears of fate begin to turn toward a cruel reality.

[Text to the left of image of Seria raising both of her arms up]

Seria asked one of Japan's leading instructors to create the mask, and the mask is unparalleled in beauty. The suit is white and extremely smart.

[Text on image] The fighting spirit hidden beneath the beautiful mask!

[Text at the bottom on the left]

Evaroid Ai

The first unit (prototype) of the EC series, a female-type android designed for VIP protection. She is currently assigned to a protection role, just like the mass-produced units. Her basic performance is similar to Seria, but as a prototype, she possesses additional redundancies, making her slightly more capable. However, she also has drawbacks, such as insufficient weight reduction in components. Many of her parts are incompatible with mass-produced units, making future modifications during maintenance inevitable. Differences in appearance between her and the mass-produced models can also be observed. (Appears in: Seria)
