Dear, Vector Prime.

Besides Victorion, I believe there are other combiners called "Slammoth" and "Quakebreak", could you tell me what kind of members they are made up of?

Dear Vote Victorious,

Yes, these Combiners do exist, but never in the same realities as each other or Victorion. Indeed, they usually exhibited a combination of very similar traits and overlapping components; I have observed instances of both Slammoth and Quakebreak who exactly resemble Victorion in all but name. Curious indeed! Speaking in terms of broad trends, though, Quakebreak was the nemesis of Devastator, who used his seismic powers to reduce the Constructicons' fortifications to rubble; conversely, Slammoth used her teleportation ability to keep up with the Stunticons, matching Menasor in brute strength.

You wished to know about their individual component members… well, it just so happens that our previous correspondence has reminded me of an outlying incarnation of the group—one that has absolutely nothing in common with Pyra Magna and her Torchbearers.

Having crash-landed on Earth aboard the Ark, the Icebreakers were reactivated by Teletraan-I in response to a Decepticon energy signature. Brought online during what was the first of your planet's ice ages, they scanned what were determined to be the dominant lifeforms at the time, different prehistoric megafauna. They were led by Heavytread, a woolly rhinoceros whose naturalist background helped them navigate the wild environment. He often butted heads with Fangtron, the group's hunter and tracker, a mighty sabretooth tiger. Their comrades were Browbeat, an ever-stalwart Irish elk; Fearswoop, a terror bird with a timid disposition; and Barbearian, a cave bear who was always ticked-off by something or other. Through their tenacity and skill, they survived for over a year in that hostile alien world, avoiding the countless traps set by the one-eyed Decepticon who hunted them relentlessly. When the time came for their final confrontation, they united to form the mighty Slammoth—who took the shape of her namesake animal—and fought to slay their foe, even if it meant their own extinction.

It took me way too long to realize this about Icebreakers by Hannah Grace.

In the hOT car scene it's said that, "Taylor Swift's 'cruel summer' came on the radio"

BUT ARE WE FORGETTING THAT SONG? bc i did-

The song about being with someone other people wont approve of. But the bridge!!!!

"I'm drunk in the back of the car"

they literally are drunk in the back of the car....

"And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar"

Stassie literally had to put herself on a crying ban bc she creidn so much

"Said, 'I'm fine,' but it wasn't true. I don't want to keep secrets just to keep you."

She literally had to lie about her relationship with and feelings toward Nate to Aaron. She didn't want to but she was worried it would affect her friend ship and carrier.

I probably should have noticed this earlier but for now I'm just going to go cry in the corner-😢

regarding immediately prior reblog

if i ask you a question that i could have asked a search engine it’s because i wanna talk to you!!!! and i don’t have any better icebreakers! thank u

[alittlebitofloveliness]

Ok so I know everyone hates icebreakers and believe me I do too, but as someone who is a) pretty boring, and b) still has to sit through icebreakers in some of my THIRD YEAR UNIVERSITY classes I am BEGGING people to try and make them interesting and my best advice to make them that way is to lie. Just do it. Who's gonna know? Who's gonna stop you? NO ONE THAT'S WHO.

"Tell us your name, your major, and one interesting fact about yourself"- If i have to hear ONE more person be like 'idk, my favourite colour is green' I'm gonna LOSE MY SHIT. Make something up. Just do it. Today I told everyone that my fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and my whole house had to evacuate until the fire department told us it was a false alarm. Did it? NO! But it's better than saying I have two dogs or that my birthday is in January. Tell people you're ambidextrous but only on Tuesdays and refuse to elaborate further. Make up a super convoluted story of how you once broke your arm. Tell everyone your beloved goldfish died and you're currently organizing her funeral if anyone in the class wants to come??? Say your third cousin is Ryan Reynolds. Recount your latest drunken adventure in the style of a medieval poet. Start speaking in tongues. BE WEIRD! BE WILD! Just say SOMETHING , ANYTHING that gets me vaguely intrigued.

I read Icebreakers, that’s how I found Isabella’s page because it came up on my “for you” page.

Has anyone read From Lukov With Love by Mariana Zapata. I am half way through and I feel like it is so long winded. I know it is a slow burn but does it get better?

I haven't read it. I almost did but it didn't seem that interesting to me 😅

Anyone wanna chime in?? 📖 ⛸️

icebreaking: related to your description saying you're reading LOTR for the first time, an anecdote: I read Fellowship of the Ring in 2nd grade, and then started the Two Towers, and struggled so hard with all those descriptions of walking that I put it down for an entire year before I could pick it up again. I think if I had to do a book report for tTT it would just be "idk, there were trees??" I hope you have had more stick-to-it-iveness than I did age ~9, lol.

Thanks for the ask! Yeah, I'll admit it's a drag, I haven’t finished the first tome yet. I've actually been re-reading one of my favourite book, Tales of the Otori, because my dad got himself a Kindle and has started reading again - I wanted to follow along with him to encourage him to continue. What are some of your favorite books? I know you're a very proficient writer, which I find very impressive as I can only write if I put myself in a metaphorical bear trap.

Icebreaker questions!

You have just contacted a complete stranger and don’t know what to talk about? Fear not! Here are some questions that might spike conversation and hopefully will let you get to know them better.

Teambuilding:

Preferred name, pronouns, fandom handle(s)

Since we already covered the DNWs: List 5 things you especially enjoy in stories (e.g. a kind of trope, story line, etc.).

What strengths will you bring to the group?

What things do you struggle with when it comes to group work? How can your collaborators help you with these things?

Have you ever collaborated on a fanwork with someone before? If so, describe what it was like, which things worked for you, which things didn't work as well.

If you feel comfortable, suggest ways that your collaborators might be involved in your creation process that would work well for you.

What are you hoping for from this collaboration experience? What would your dream version of SeveritusBB collaboration look like?

Tell your partner(s) about a good and a bad group work experience you've had, either in fandom or at school or work (or other). What made the good one good? What made the bad one bad? What did you learn about what makes group work successful for you?

What's one thing your partner(s) could say or do that would feel really good to you? (For example, compliment your fanwork, offer to help with organisation/beta/cheerleading, reach out to you to say hi every few days, etc.)

If one or more group members become unhappy or uncomfortable with how the collaboration is going, what are your preferences for how it be handled? (For example, a preference that your partner(s) tell you right away if something bothers them, a preference that they give you some time after telling you something heavy for you to process and respond, etc. Please note that for any conflict that cannot be resolved within a single conversation, we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE coming to the mods for support and not allowing things to escalate! Participants should also all feel welcome and encouraged to come straight to the mods without having talked to their partner first if that feels safer/better!)

Funsies:

Name as many books, movies, TV shows, animes, comics, celebrities, etc. as you can think of that you have felt or feel fannish about.

If you could be any fictional character for a day, who would it be, and why?

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?

If you were stuck on a deserted island with no access to the internet, which 3 Severitus fanworks would you take with you?

What are 3 facts about yourself (fannish or otherwise) that you haven’t already mentioned?

What would be your animagus form / patronus?

If you had to listen to one song on repeat for a whole day, which one would it be and why?

Have fun, and make the teamwork dream work!

With thanks to the pod_together mods for the question suggestions!
