. The Concept of Nyon in an otherwise fully developed planet is so crazy to me. It is simply Forgotten. There’s guys in there who obviously were alive when it wasn’t. When it was considered a booming part of Cybertron’s economy. They have a port. Fishing cities are often self sufficient and good at their trade, unless nobody wants to buy from them or someone from outside is exploiting them. I hold it in my heart and categorize it as a poor Latino city in my head. Maybe they had buildings and crowded streets like Turkey. Full of riches and kind to each other. A deep culture of Nobody gets left behind. I love going back and writing Rodimus’ nostalgia towards a home he can never go back to

I’ve been seeing people draw human Rod with tattoos to represent the black stripe he has in his design and I would like to say that my personal hc is that he definitely has something like what Four had in Divergent but without the faction symbols obviously

I think The Rod That Blocks the Lightning or a variation of that would perhaps make for a nice title for the Geumsaegi AU.

I kind of like the lightning rod analogy, where Geumsaegi takes all the stress and trouble on himself to protect Flower Hill.

There is also One Mind All the Time, which is nice as well, but Guemsaegi’s plans and methods might not match up with everyone else’s.

Can’t be I Take This Way Myself, since he is not alone in his efforts.

I need your fic(s) to be an animated series. I think that would fix me

You’re in luck, Madness Combat is an animated series!

Jk jk, if I had time, doing little animations where the guys are just chilling would be fun, I think.

One day you think to yourself damn the guitar work on bigmouth strikes again is honestly mad, and the next

Foiled the bridge pegs - worked really great and just looks sharp even though you don’t…see the pegs, but i spun the peg screws out so the bridge sits rather high, got a proper ‘float’ over the body the way a thing called a floating bridge ought to. The treble side I put higher up to eliminate the superchoked treble strings (the issue was the very very low action, fretting any fret from around 10 and up rang out as like…22!)

With the raised bridge the rattle is worse! Because the jaguar/jazzmaster floating bridge sits in its sockets fixed in only by the tension of the strings. When you bring it up, there’s more room for it to rattle - so the foil wrapped pegs work to fill up the sockets, eliminating this rattle because it fits way more snugly

And anyway I finally found an explanation for the shim that I get that isn’t just a vague “oh it’s part of the offset equation” - hazeguitars explains it as a consequence of the raised bridge itself, cause the intention of raising the bridge for most is for the break angle, where the strings run from fretboard up to the bridge, then break downwards again towards the anchor point in the trem system. Which makes the tension/pressure on the bridge more effective, holds it better, and eliminates buzz (huge nightmare for jag/jm owners apparently but well, never really bothered me, what bothered me was the action so low that the guitar did not function as a guitar!!)

So the assumption is if you raise the bridge for the break angle you don’t want the high action that comes with it, so you put a shim in the neck pocket which will bump the fretboard up a little and keep your break angle without a high ass action.

Which is what I did blindly before I even brought the bridge up. My shim is flat and doesn’t angle up nearer to the body of the guitar because, repeating, this morning I was a sucker without a clue. Thing is because I fiddled with the bridge to fix my action, I believe my break angle isn’t extreme as the ideal is - my bridge still kind of buzzes (granted, not a problem that bothered me until today, I can’t really hear it!! Unless i actively listen out for it!)

Play wise it’s nice, fixed the choked frets and actually it’s better than before the problem even cropped up because it used to be a nightmare fretting high cause it wouldn’t ring as the correct note unless i pressed down really fierce. Now it works fine with normal fretting. I am no jimi hendrix but in this case i can actually say it wasnt all me it was squier by fender and their balls out shitty offset guitar stock set ups. From all the reading i did to understand this guitar I dont think you could play a jaguar nice off the shelf. But he’s never more trouble than he’s worth!!

good night guys. i’m gonna write about mattsun taking us out fishing for the first time

The microtrope of characters who meet and develop an intense and important friendship between each other that doesn’t match up with the actual structure of their relationship, with the vacuum between what they are to each other and what they act like to each other causing difficulty. Specifically, friendships between two characters who want to be peers, think of each other as peers, act like peers, but do have some imbalance of age and power between them that means that it can’t work like just a normal friendship. One of them can/will always pull the seniority/juniority card, putting the relationship in a quantum state where the hierarchy is always present if it isn’t acting.

Like Anakin and his master/apprentice! Anakin wants to just be buddies with Obi-Wan and Ahsoka. He treats them as peers and friends even though Obi-Wan raised him for half his life and Ahsoka is a kid relying on him for survival in a warzone every day of her life. He’s emotionally immature and leans on his lineage for the same equal sort of support that he wants from Padme. He doesn’t want to be a guide and responsible mentor to Ahsoka, he wants to sneak out of the house and go joyriding with her. He doesn’t want to be Obi-Wan’s charge who must get him to sign his forms for sleepaway camp, he just wants to hang out at the bar with him.

The imbalance between how Anakin treats those relationships and the power structure of them turns out badly. Sheev aside (good old Sheev), in a good world both of these friendships end awkwardly.

When Ahsoka experiences a trauma that she chooses to recover from alone, Anakin treats it like she’s letting down the side. Even if he knows he needs to support her, he takes her independence like it’s personal. How dare his bestie ghost him like that? He waits for her and he resents that he has to.

Then Obi-Wan tries to give Anakin advice as his teacher and guardian, responsible for and in charge of his learning, Anakin treats it like it’s some buddy of his is sticking his nose in his business. Obi-Wan’s actions aren’t a breach of mentor-apprentice etiquette but they are overbearing as between friends. No matter how good the relationships are, Anakin’s refusal to acknowledge the structure in which they exist only causes problems and drives them apart
