Earthspark singlehandedly dragging my ass back into my transformers phase literally the *day* after I told my mom it was waning

[eljeebee]

My sister and I were watching transformers earthspark and i was so amused and happy seeing them do arnis

Excuse my side comments 💀

Not an expert in arnis but the stance they were doing was what they taught us last semester for PE, especially on the last scene where they were doing sinawali (i think)

God bless tatay alex malto 🙏

[scalproie]

soundwave (was HE in the blue character poll? or do i need to hit someone w my car) for the character ask game. and sure do all of them why not

NO HE WAS DW he was against optimus but if he wasnt there it wouldve been my last straw

• My first impression of them

Oh so he's the coolest character in transformers prime huh

• When I think I truly started to like them (or dislike them, if you've sent me a character I don't like)

Oh so hes the coolest character in transformers as a whole huh

• A song that reminds me of them

I did not go insane over him on this song two years ago to not put it here

• How many people I ship them with

ONE I either dont really care or dont like most soundwave ships

• My favorite ship of them

Soundrod You Will Always Be Famous.

• My least favorite ship of them

Theorically I UNDERSTAND the appeal but I CANNOT see him with any of the other decepticon high command whether itd be megatron, starscream or shockwave

• A quote of them that you remember

[clown music]

So autistic even by tf standards. Always a surprise to him when bots are like wow... soundwave is so mysterious and kinda creepy...

[cykelops]

Guessing earthspark is going with the og orion pax job from the cartoon where he was a doc worker. He certainly has that og orion pax cartoon look which is truly a look. I can see why god had to pretty him up.

god bless him he’s my baby girl but this look was not it

Disorganized rambles about Earthspark under the cut, short version is that it was literally perfect and then it did a Thing and I'm weird about it

As I said after watching the first ep, I'm way more interested in the not-kids, than on the kids. That being said they didn't get annoying or boring at any point. Mo and Robby are okay, they're cute, but I truly love seeing Twitch and Thrash exploring their unique identities. The children have some dialogue that feels off to me and the emotional link makes me a bit uncomfortable at time but eh, i can live.

Twitch is my favorite, there is no contest. She is my daughter and I love her. I love thay she's the "goody two-shoes" but she's still fucking unhinged. Bless her.

I did not expect to become so endeared to Alex but he is also great. He's so earnest and tries so hard to connect with his family and his interactions with Bee are fantastic. I loved seeing their relationship develop.

BEE!! My boi, I adore him. He still feels younger than Optimus while clearly contrasting with the terrans as someone more adult and a war veteran. It's a good look on him. I feel like I liked his dialogue best, it flows really nice. I wonder what's going on with him. The fact that he has to be hidden from GHOST and that he wants to be a hero "again", makes me think he may have messed up an caused human casualties. Or maybe is a situation like IDW1 Jazz shooting a cop in live television. Either way, I'm excited for more of him.

Dot, the star of the show. Everything about her is so interesting. She steals the show every time she's on screen. Her interactions with the Cybertronians are the best. I want to learn everything about her adventures with Megatron. Really, giving him a human companion was the most galaxy brain thing the writers pulled.

Megatron is fucking perfect oh my god. He has all the presence and charm and he cares about his Decepticons SO MUCH. He truly just wants them all to live in peace and knows the only way for that to be possible is to get along with the humans. It makes sense why he is so concerned about their image. This man has his priorities straight unlike all the others Megs sqvbdysd The other major difference with them being that he clearly sees humans as people, as his relationship with Dot shows.

And omg Nova Storm (or was it Skywarp) asking if it's too late to be Autobots and Frenzy (she's a girl!!!!!!!) saying they're free and don't have to follow Soundwave. Megatron is not off, it shows the Cons are also tired and want peace.

Optimus, my beloved!! He's great in this, so earnest and awkward. He truly just wants to do the right thing, but struggles with what the right thing is and how to live in peacetime. I always love that on him. He's trying his best but needs a check sometimes and dear lord, GHOST sure are sketchy.

The megop is ofc great, I am being fed. Love their banter. Love how they feel so familiar now. Love how Megatron spoke high of Optimus to Dot and still takes any chance to make fun of him. Love that you can see what Megatron has learned from Optimus, but that he still has room to set him straight. I was telling Squiggle I low key regret not pushing the megop gift exchange further so that people could ask for ES prompts, but we were already so late with it sshjdhe.

Absolutely adoring jock!Elita. With this and the Go Go Go manga it feels like a theme now and I hope it continues. As I suspected, she's not actually OP's love interest and I'm glad she has now escaped that role to be a character on her own. Hope she gets a focus episode later on cuz she had relatively few screentime.

I am so so happy with Arcee. Flavour-wise she feels like a mix of IDW and Cyberverse, which is truly not something I ever expected to see. But like that time I ate a blue cheese chocolate, it is a unique and interesting flavor.

Wheeljack was fucking adorable.

Mandroid is a good villian. He reasonably hates the robots for bringing their war here and he's gonna deal with that by causing more war. The hypocrisy is nice and it makes a good contrast with Megatron. Doubt he's actually dead since he still has to fill some narrative potential. That is, they wouldn't allude to his past with Alex if that's not gonna come up later.

But oh man, with Mandroid, GHOST and cons like Soundwave and Starscream, there's seems like there's a lot of antagonists to deal with. I hope that means the show will run past the first 26 eps.

So I was having the time of my life and then we got to that episode and I was like "they aren't going to create more Terrans right now, are they?" And they did, and it didn't get better. And I felt so viscerally uncomfortable I considered stopping watching altogether. Because I have weird issues and they're always children related.

It's something about the carelessness of creating new life deliberately, coupled with the fact that these Terrans are being created explicitly as memebers of the Malto family and no one asked Dot if she wanted more children and how Twitch and Trash inclusion to the family dynamic had felt so organic up until now, and now it all feels like, like, ugh, Milan Kundera, you're the only one who understands me. It's feel like it's too soon. The dynamics had been so well-balanced until now and I worry how they're gonna handle these 3 new additions.

And I know this is just me being weird (ok, I do think giving Dot more kids without asking her is not fucking cash money). And this choice makes sense narratively. The Terrans are the way to take the Transformer-human relationships where they need to go so more would have to come eventually, and the Terrans are still a secret, so given the status rn there can only be more if they are also members of the Maltos. And really the show has been so good at handling every other dynamic, it can be trusted to manage the newer inclusions to the main cast.

I do hope I can get over myself because I like literally everything else about the show SO MUCH and I don't want to stop watching. But it was hard to sit through the last parts. Shsshgwhd is that thing Polyhexian makes fun of about how I will read their most uncomfortably personal sex trauma fic but I won't touch their robot children with a pole. Why am I like this?

Favorite moment of each Autobot from what’s out of Earthspark so far?

Arcee’s entire episode!!!! Omg I loved her!!!! Very cyberverse vibes and I loved it!!!

Megatron’s whole talk about the final moments of the war felt very good. It helped solidify his character (also yes- I know he’s technically still a con)

Favorite elita moment is again, her talk with jawbreaker.

Favorite wheeljack moment is the lil part when he tells Twitch spider hunting can be their tradition! (My grandma called him mean at first lol)

Favorite op moment is the finger guns… it’s so cursed but made me giggle pretty loud. I’m so glad he’s just a lil goofy, or at least trying.

Loved bee and his basketball moments. I think that might have been a g1 reference tho- (also, god bless them making bee a grown ass man. He is in his mid 30s, at least!)

Before I start blogging...

I’m getting to a point where I can bring you some new updates from Kulo Seeri, after backtracking to an old backup and having to do some messing around in SimPE to fix a goof up with a deleted PT mod. The next posts will be coming from the first day of summer, Rotation 10. Read on for some rambling about what to expect:

OK, first thing that’s changed is I’ve gone back to Maxis age lengths again. I felt like I was getting nowhere in the time scale of Almighty Hat’s age mod. I am not going to stress over finding an in-universe explanation for it, like I would have done not too long ago. Sometimes it just is.

The second change is that the premade hoods are now subhoods of Kulo Seeri. I don’t know why, I just wanted to try it and see how the sims interacted... and I did have an uberhood in a separate folder but didn’t want to keep replacing updated mods twice. I’m going to chuck all my projects into one basket for now and see what explodes happens.

Finally, a bit of Seeriverse history/mythology that’s going to be relevant to the next era of my game - there are four closely related pantheons of sibling gods (actually all female, but they don’t use the term “goddess” as the feminine suffix implies male dominance, and that’s never the case in my game) who, in the distant past, walked the mortal realms of Juvash regularly:

The Electria Dragons are gods of the eight elements: Freshwater, Air, Fire, Earth, Stone, Metal, Saltwater and Wood. They represent pretty much what their names suggest, and elemental magic - the art of mystics and prodigies, the two main subsets of mage - comes from them. Or it did, until the Dragons were shattered into a thousand sparks in a battle against voidbeasts thirteen aeons ago. Each of the sparks was incarnated in the mortal world as a dragonkin, and has been reincarnated through the generations since. Sena Yuleng, first ancestor of Kulo Seeri, was an earthspark.

The Skyborn are associated with celestial things, the mind and supernatural beings. They are Luna (god of the moons and patron of shapeshifters, known for taking a lot of mortal men as lovers), Sola (god of the suns and battle, who is asexual and has little patience with Luna’s flings), Aethera (god of dreams and love), Tempest (god of weather, intense emotion and making sure the voidbeasts stay in the void) and Astral (god of stars, prophecy and divination). Since the shattering of the Electria Dragons, they have also been keeping the forces of elemental magic in check, with varying degrees of success.

The River Fortunes are the pantheon that is arguably the most powerful, but also most distant from Juvash - the triad of Fate, Chance and Choice. Together they guide the flow of the River of Time, which contains myriad timelines that can be travelled between or altered (it’s just not a good idea to do so, that’s the leading cause of time rages).

Finally, there’s Death, who rules the afterlife and commands legions of reapers. She’s not exclusively a god of doom and gloom though - she aids in communication with lost loved ones, and her attendant spirits also deliver new or reincarnated souls to the mortal world.

Anyway, after the Electria Dragons fell, the rest of the gods stopped walking the lands. Now they’re returning. The Dragons themselves are also re-ascending, and offering blessings to those who carried the dragonsparks for them - including Etan mi-Avira, headwoman of Kulo Seeri and fifth incarnation of Sena Yuleng.

The other thing they’ve done, which impacts hugely on the premades, is free the bound spirits that were used to power the technology used in the cities - rendering the assorted contraptions useless. The city folk are now having to turn to the tribes and villages of the wilds more often, since they don’t have everything they need at their fingertips any more.

And I’m done rambling (finally!) so I’ll leave it there and go back to playing. :)
