#How does that phrase sound?

i just got into the show and came across a few of your posts (sorry that this is long). i'm surprised no one talked about this more but home part 1 and 2 made little sense for why the malto kids went to philly. robbie wanting to bring them to the place he grew up in made no sense when the terrans are suppose to be in hiding.

that and i thought he was over the whole "i wanna go back to our actual home" stuff back in part 1 of this season? me and my friends thought with hashtag being linked to the internet she was going to find evidence of bumblebee being in philly or something like that.

then there's the fact that they just decide to wander about without some kind of disguise. i mean i really thought nightshade was going to pull out some devices to give them human forms. they did work with tarantulas on his device to be human so i was expecting some pay off there.

but then the humans. THE HUMANS. why are they so chill with these terrans being there??? they should be freaking out and be scared of them! none of the terrans are wearing autobot symbols so these humans don't know that they're safe to be around!

the discrimination thing been talked about a bit (should be more agreeing with you guys honestly) but really...it should be in reverse. humans have been discriminated in transformers for so long that it's crazy that the one time we get a show tackling it...and it's favoring the aliens??? the same alien species that came up with 13 different ways (actually 14 but we won't count "terran" since its already used) and 11 of them are insults!

it boggles my mind how disconnected the episodes feel! like the things the characters go through don't get mention in some way (parasites in the bear episode...shockwave's lab...) like a semi-reset is happening. still going to watch part 3 with my friends when it comes though. the show's a blast despite some of the problems it has.

Hello! I'm sorry that I'm not responding so quickly (oh, these time zones). In fact, somewhere there was an opinion that the second part of the first season is a little more chaotic than the first. And, to be honest, it feels that way. This is the effect of a sitcom, when the consequences in one episode are reset in the next.

It cannot be said that this did not happen in the first part of the season. For example, the episode "Friends and Family", where they found a cave with water that Terrans feed on, and no one mentions it anymore. "Traditions" — Arachnamechs attack, where Alex identified the technology of his former colleague. No attention. "Decoy" — remind me, what is the whole mission of Ravage? But with all this, the ratio of other plots and these forgotten storylines was such that they were not in the main focus of the stories and there were few of them.

In the second season, there were noticeably more such lines.

"Hashtag: Oops" — okay, we'll forget that the GHOST had a massive Decepticon escape with possible victims thanks to Hashtag.

"Missed Connection" — that is, caring parents did not ask themselves how and at the expense of what resources Nightshade does all these things and builds a bunker? And no one in the family either? And where did this knowledge come from in principle? Well, okay.

"Bear Necessities" — apparently the ecology on Earth is so bad that everything that happened does not surprise anyone. Although you can't say that from the narrative. "Warzone" - that is, no one wants to ask Megatron why he hid the location of Shockwave for so many years?

"Home, Part 1-2" — where to start… And, that is, we will literally forget the previous episode, where we were told that the Decepticons wanted to take over the Earth, mentioned human losses in the war and showed photos of the destruction, and then we will wonder why humans don't particularly like being next to huge war machines? I understand everything, but the parents of the Malto family are a historian and a soldier. Again, in these series, a good opportunity was missed to show the victims, for example, the parents of a friend of Robby. I have already said about the stupidity of underground fighting.

By the way, a great reminder that Terrans, in fact, should be hiding! Thanks for the tip on this plot hole! Everyone somehow forgot that the GHOST is not a small local organization, and since the children could have time to go to the city overnight, survive all this and return, then what prevents the GHOST from patrolling these territories too? Well, witnesses, maybe cameras… Moreover, the GHOST can roughly know what Twitch and Thrash, which were already on the base, look like.

It would be a very good option that they really decided to take such a risk for the sake of Bumblebee, whom they began to consider a member of the family, but did not even mention anymore after he was forced to hide again. Which is very strange for an animated series with the main theme of family and a character who literally adores Bumblebee.

There is a feeling that the authors are trying to cram everything in at once, and either do not have time to think through these storylines and twists (and why then shove them into the plot?), or do not know how and cannot do it all.

There is an option that they tried to show as many "exciting" things as possible in order to get permission and budget for the next seasons. It can also be.

Personally, I don't think the cartoon is bad, although it may seem from my posts that I hate the series. This is not true, but the second part and especially the finale have cooled my ardor for this series very much, and I expect new episodes with caution. Mainly because of the rhetoric of "humans are real monsters" and protecting the Decepticons against the background of humanity's lack of the right to be justly angry at those who brought the war. But this is interspersed a little with the personal area, so this is probably an irrelevant remark for many.

I had a hope that this series would not repeat the path of many media on transformers in relation to humans where they are useless or evil, but it is unlikely that something will change. Good human characters are only those who, no matter what, treat transformers well, and if not, then they are caricatured evil. Very sorry. Although the Malto family as characters are worked out pretty well, and this is a big step for the media on transformers. I just want some event to change their unconditionally positive attitude towards cybertronians (not Terrans).

I hope you enjoy the new episodes when they come out, I will also hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

can i just say. i’m sick of showrunner discourse. like every few months it seems like people draw their lines and dig their trenches and every time it’s the same handful of points and episodes brought up to prove that their favorite showrunner is Good And Progressive and that their least favorite is Wrong And Bigoted and like. all of those episodes exist. they’re all real episodes of doctor who, and the sooner we can look at the good and the bad in doctor who, the sooner we can get somewhere actually worth being regarding discussion of politics on the show

remember kids! haunting the narrative is NOT about death, ghosts, or stereotypical haunting! haunting the narrative is about the weight of an absence in the story. its when someone is not a participant in the story, yet their absence defines it. its called haunting the narrative because they are a ghost to the story, not a ghost in the story

i know so many people get discouraged from boycotting because no one in their fandoms are but i always say this: even if you are the only person even if it's just you, it shouldn't discourage you from ultimately doing something right! don't let that discourage you by any means! some people might feel the same but when they see you doing it they will feel a lot more confident and they will join forces!

we are so fucking back. despite intending to go into vlr/ztd spoiler free i could not handle it anymore and ended up spoiling myself on a few things (...not everything bc its Mostly just related to characters I care abt and im gonna try and gaslight myself into pretending I didn't see it anyway).

but oh my fucking god clocking phi as transfem in the first hour of vlr was some incredible foresight because she is even more transgender than I thought

original post here if anyone wants to see it or my additional reblog but god. im crazy

[fortjester]

listening to my mother explain how she understands the trans experience and knowing she said this shit to my (trans) younger sister at some point and holding back an immense amount of rage

We ought to write more Pokemon fic some time. We want to recreate the Pokemon Manners/Human Manners cheat sheet that we made a few years ago we think that this site would like the Sliding Scale Of Politeness When Greeting A New Pokemon You've Never Met Before.

trying harder to pay attention to yellows dialogue so i can write him better and. literally. love that thing he does where he talks like hes in a sitcom

( “What do you think it means to have a job?” / ”Yeah, what an adventure. Yup,we really did have the laugh of our lives. But still, nice to be back at home,eh?”/ “Let’s go see this real family in action!” )

[slightlyhopefulromantic]

WOOHOO!! number two iiis... taylor/normal/scary!!! this ship is slightly bonkers but in a way that i think isnt entirely unrealistic. as my friends hop and cereal said when i shared the sketch with them, "anything is possible with the power of teenage hormones" "and also space marriage" LOL

[outlying-hyppocrate]

i feel sort of sick about the way i can't understand how people can ever love each other. i feel as if i will never be truly appreciated because i can never truly appreciate other people. i wish i could care about others as much as i could care about myself. it is simply a problem i have. though i have thought of you often very recently, for whatever reason. perhaps it is wanting to be your best friend. i need one of those. talk to you. show you lots of lovely things. i still prefer pretty pictures that showcase an idea of loving someone to what reality could be, as i know nothing so far. (love songs are fucking stupid. they're not. i think it's sweet that people try. i could never. what if i did? i did, once. it wasn't very good. that's alright, i was younger.) whatever am i talking about? i feel ridiculous. never mind. post canceled

excuse me i have to say something obscene (which is the point) the master definitely masturbated in the matrix chamber. the heart of gallifrey (”but hes the president. kill him and gallifrey could be yours”), the room he found out about the timeless child in, panopticon right over there, watched but unwatched, witnessed by the dead, the bodies he desecrated, torture room in the cellar, turning his own body, which has been used as a tool so many times by the timelords, back into a base physical thing whichs only purpose is his own pleasure, an agressive retraction of his plea to rassilon in end of time to take him with them in their journey to become beings of consciousness, while turning those same powerful timelords he once begged for acceptance into a perversion of that same ideal, and doing it by doing something that Time Lords Do Not Do; sex. something timelords do not do because of their robbing the timeless child of her regeneration.

a kind of self-love that is 100% spiteful and ironic and painfully self-aware on his part but at the same time a genuine expression of his anger (in a way that 13 is unable to access) and in that somehow looping back to a kind of, if not self-love really, a renewed self-loyalty (contrasted with 13‘s continual self-abandonment), a negation of missys self-betrayal in the doctor falls, the pyrrhic victory that created (not to say birthed) him.
