#ask arcana magnus

[askarcanamagnus]

Do you still meet some of the members of the sheild of solus from time to time like elita, moonracer and firestar?

"Zoomy" Arcana Magnus: We do. Danielle and I adore hanging out with them when we can. We stayed together as a unit for much of the War, combining frequently all the way through to our deployment alongside the Wreckers and Autobot Intelligence to defeat the Decepticon Justice Division's last major fortress and liberate the prisoners there- including the prototype Primus/Unicron planetoid form who took on the name Gaea and Cybertronian she pronouns after our attached Cityspeakers and Greenlight helped cut through the Funcronist* code impeding her processes.

*(Funcronism is an amalgam of Functionist and Unicronist ideologies, and Funcronist infiltration of the Decepticons and running their judicial faction while gaslighting Megatron was instrumental to the Decepticon's descent from autocratic stratocracy into totalitarianism which was eventually responded to with the Decepticon Civil War, a story for another time)

And we stayed together after that. Those who didn't already live there moved to Caminus with me, dear neighbors and extended family besides darlings Greenlight and Lancer and Chromia (Chromia's more Windblade, Nautica, Road Rage, and Strongarm's partner but my end of the polycule does enjoy tangling with her from time to time, sparring and dancing in particular something we enjoy among other aspects of intimate trust that we smooch over occasionally). Though Cybertron is currently the political capital of the Autobot Alliance once more, there is much talk about moving the gathering of our highest delegations and councils back to Caminus, which was the de facto capital for a significant portion of the war. Elita, Galebreach Convoy (Windblade's formal Prime name) and I and many other Primes have already set up a secondary Primal Expanse here, no easy feat with how much Matrix cyberform architecture we had to do, exhausting. Anode (also a Matrix bearer, she elected not to change her name), had an innovative approach of having blacksmiths aid us in the shaping, so it at least took less time than it did in ancient days for Solus and her early colleagues.

Lifeline and I tend to chat over a boardgame or meditate together. Moonracer and I love to go racing, Firestar of course I see frequently since she is amicably enamored with Nautica and her Amica Endura polycule (consisting of four previously named alongside Rung, Nightbeat, Brainstorm, Velocity, and Skids), and Elita, Greenlight, Lancer, and I have spent quite a bit of time learning Cityspeaking in order to stay in touch with Gaea.

"Arcsword" Danielle Witwicky: the Shield of Solus has also grown as an organization in peacetime. Given my position in it continuing the now ancient transformer society iteration of multispecies membership in nearly every intergalactic group transformers have had a major part in forming- we have had more from the galaxy join us in this capacity and have become teachers of a sort about the War, and about peace. I'll never forget the look on Solus's face when she told us thank you, for transforming her name into something far beyond her status as a Prime. A delta vector of change, an amusing parallel to the Delta League of Prof that instead reclaimed a monarch Solus's Forge of Solus Prime as gender expansive symbology and because of the history of her federation closely entwined with affirmation practices and gender affirmation across Cybertron before the First Cybertronian Civil War (this name of a conflict we've mentioned here is a canonical conflict in IDW1, where "Prof" Arcee is from but nothing else we have said in regards to that continuity in this post is canonical).

"Prof" Arcee: though I worked with a Novastar (no, not the Camien Firestar, a different gal, the military civil guard commander of Uraya early on during Nova Prime's rule) and Lifeline in the Delta League, what I would have given to have Greenlight, Chromia, Lancer, and Moonracer of my world beside me in the often armed liberation movement against Functionism and Nova Prime- save for the fact that I would never have wished that upon them. The way conflict went on and on and how most of us left was so sad... I would chalk it up to how equivalently annoying it would be to live for 4 million years as guerrillas against a Shockwave whose first response to discovering the Shield of Solus was to yell "FEMALES!?"

"Pistoleer" Arcee: yeah your Shockwave and mine were real pieces of work when it came to gender huh. I'm glad to still be in touch with my Shield of Solus team, they did vital work for the liberation and defense of Cybertron and Earth during my more well known adventures (this is also not canonical per se, if only). Being away from Greenlight and Lancer often was excruciating even though duty demanded we attended to our posts, I thankfully no longer have to worry about that. We still hang out together, actually currently we are looking for colonies we lost contact with or that fell, in particular to keep be able to respond in places where er 'Female Autobots didn't go extinct' which is impossible without destroying the two entwined ideas and all sapient life...

Prof & Pistoleer: *laughter*

"Pistoleer" Arcee: that said directly experiencing Danielle's two adolescences through our binary bond was maybe one of the largest challenges I myself have faced, and I was certainly amused by the second one, and did all I could to help her with both. No wonder organic bodied people have a hard time with hormones, with all the stuff they do! Truly admirable how you all live in your flesh.

"Flanker" Danielle Witwicky: right back at you. A Cybertronian staying in good health means a lot of mechanical upkeep, and I feel it every time Lifeline has to give you a tune-up. The fact you don't heal the same way I do makes things complicated.

"Pistoleer" Arcee: touche kiddo.

[pluralsword]

legit agree with this so much, you understand! part of why we commissioned this art is because we love the transfem read of Daniel(le) Witwicky, and part of what made us feel like this was worth doing was because we read a fanfic set after Season 4 Rebirth that explored how Daniel and Arcee's experiences would grow from each other as part of the binary bond, this comes up in Chapter 2 of that story. ty for sharing this light here, if you want to read some of our own take on this you can check out Day of Multiflame or Trusting Transformations, we haven't done a story about Danielle as her own bot to scale but we do count transforming into the exosuit's rover mode (not that we've written this yet either) which is part of why we asked for her to be done as illustrated below. the arcana magnus blog mentioned in the post we've had a few asks for does detail a specifically sunbow narrative for her compared with original continuity-inspired stuff, entry detailed below:

as you can see when you click on the link, the art is by the awesome @reverintherevery !

finished g1 cartoon. daniel witwicky should be the first human to transition to specifically a robot's interpretation of human womanhood (matching with arcee)

Extra!

I am a fiction kin of Elijah Volkov and rp as him

I am, trans, gay, faunian, and hyperromantic!

Trans and gay are common, so I can only assume you know what those are, but faunian means I associate myself with all genders except for inherently feminine ones. And I'm hyperomantic, meaning I fall for people easily! (which stems from trauma, I'm not ready to get into)

I mostly post about whatever, I use this mostly just to rant, bbbuuuttt Sometimes i might post art or rp things!

Well... that's all i can think of! I hope you have a llllooovvvveeeeeellllyyyy day!

[askarcanamagnus]

Arcana Magnus: hi yes this is the art we're using for our ask-blog indeed! Please feel free to ask us things-

Danielle Witwicky: we look so pretty and dashing, such a good likeness. I love you-

Arcana Magnus: love you too darling *hug*

Danielle Witwicky: So, some of you may be wondering about our story... I'll tell a little bit about two of me (this is not canon information although much of this first paragraph is): the emotional and sweet gunslinging kid you might know from the Sunbow cartoon telling of the tale as Daniel (I don't mind people using that name for me I just also use Danielle both make me happy and are ones I associate with my galness) was seriously injured in 2007 CE when I (there will be some continuity slips in the gestalt that's why I'm using I here) was seriously injured helping Arcee fight Snapdragon. What with the opportunity to use headmaster technology thanks to the Nebulan resistance, Arcee volunteered to have her systems be used as life support for me- her head reconfigured to be able to transform into an exosuit for me, so we had a binary bond, working closely together, building on the sweet mentoring trust she had already given me previously, and proving quite the effective duo in combat.

With everything we went through risking body and mind to help save the world, and still sharing our bond after as we helped rebuild Nebulos and looked after the future of Earth and Cybertron... by the time 2008 rolled around, I was fifteen, and had a sort of hybrid education with some formal actual Earth schooling while the rest was Cybertronian education, and well, informally, learning from Arcee every day of my life thereafter.

Her prowess, her sweetness, the power she wielded from who she had made herself, her attentive outspoken demeanor that situated us as the right hand of Optimus Prime and set part of my life on the path of a warrior sage, all amazed me, all things I wanted in the way she did it that I had not known I had longed for. When we first met the other Solus Shield resistance fighters besides Chromia, that is, Elita One, Moonracer, Firestar, and the adorable couple Greenlight and Lancer whom Arcee was enamored with, I realized that... I wanted to be a gal, or knew myself as one from then on. Cybertron's history of ever transforming gender was one I found deep comfort in, and so, though it wasn't so easy back in 2008 (and in the 2023 CE we are posting this there are still many barriers including transmedicalizations), I started hormone replacement therapy, something that Arcee, to her amusement, experienced through her connection to me and my body. Her happiness for me is a joy that I cherish deeply, and it is a loop, for at this point, she is me, and I am her.

The two in the picture above though- somewhat different situation. That Danielle is a cyborg, for one. She er, wanted more of the metal framework in terms of bodily experience. Arcee, if you want to-

"Zoomy" Arcana Magnus: I do, I'll tell the rest. I grew up on a Cybertron where, though we had some conflicts from time to time, aesthetics of self and community was deeply celebrated as everyday and remarkable. Our first word for something like what many of you know as gender was sparktion, that is, of the spark, sparklike, since we saw it as something one tries to figure out from the soul and contextualize from lived experience and creativity, but can't ever fully know. For me- that meant eventually realizing I wanted a different frame than that I shared with my dear brother and fellow Autobot Galvatron, wanting to still ahve a robust shape but have more of a slope and curve, to have two lovely back stacks with wheels- to feel a graceful rush to my movements and thoughts and life realized through reshaping my body. My words for this sparktion to me are zoomdare. There are some parallels and overlaps with galness- but it is not the same.

I designed and forged the parts I would add to my body by hand. I couldn't do the surgery myself, but my grandmentors Solus Prime and Amalgamous did, and apart from sensory side effects (that for me only lasted a few weeks) not unlike what humans can experience from HRT or surgery, I was deeply glad with my form, and it gave me so much happiness that helped me find balance in life apart from studying wisdom and practicing it and having a community and health resources to turn to. There are other parts of the story to tell- but, regarding Danielle... I was about 200 years old when we made contact with humanity in the early history of transformer originated society. Human bodied folk were in their 2800s CE, and had made new homes on other star systems, like Gliese Exiom, where I met Danielle in her fifties, a mechatronic engineer who had long studied the history of gals and gender expansive folk at war, peace, and revolution, and read quite a bit of fiction in that regard but hadn't really found an answer to their gender stuff and had left that be. As part of a diplomatic bonding program, they and I both volunteered to binary bond-

it was initially dysphoric, for me. Her gender stuff, though rapidly exploding with epiphany and euphoria from contact with me, was not something I was used to, the way she thought about things and all the implications and history gender carried good and bad. It was too much. I could see why she with contact with my mind realized xenogender stuff in relation to my zoomdareness. She felt lonely in that too, even though patriarchy and empire had been dead for her species for the last two centuries.

So, for a while, she kept her stuff from me in our mental link and cyborg patching when they was inside my head, and I stayed an open door. But, eventually, I came to know galness another way that was euphoric to me- Earth vehicles. I took up another reformat from combining the designs of two such sport and muscle cars- and now we share freely with each other.

I helped her raise a family with the Nebulan jixurque (an aesthetic we'll have to tell you about sometime) Llyra, and the two helped me, Aileron, Lancer, Greenlight, Anode, and Lug to raise Gauge and Sideswipe II. We have fought Neofunctionists, Unicronists, and Decepticons, and took part in the aesthetic Autobot Revolution. We do our own things separately sometimes but it's rare now. I don't know what I would do if I lost her the way I've lost Hardhead and Sideswipe and Kup-

"Prof" Arcee: hey, you okay? If you need to talk, I'm always here, you know I know how loss feels, how I felt when I thought Anode and Lug were dead, when I thought I was alone.

"Zoomy" Arcana Magnus: I'll be okay, thank you though. Maybe we should talk, because the thought scares me.

Danielle is- one of the dearest people in my life. I don't know how to say, to phrase, the kind of love I feel for her. It is a deep kinship but even that is an understatement.

Also yes she's a sword sapphic/lesbian apart from sharing my mutuality but I think that was fairly obvious

Danielle Witwicky: harhar, what gave it away, emulating you?

Arcees: Hahahahaha!

Greenlight: why are y'all so cute

Aileron: why are you

Greenlight: did you just no u me

Aileron: *smooch*

Greenlight: I guess that's more of a yes and

Arcees: talk about cute...

Aileron: hehe y'all are next

Commission for @pluralsword !

It was an absolute delight to draw their version of Danielle and Arcee! Check out their RP blog!

I still have commissions open! My patreon, Ko-fi if you are interested in seeing how this art work was made, or want a high res version of this drawing!

[the-butterbun]

Hello. I’m glad you like my descriptions for your TMA Tarot.

They are very basic for cards. Mostly just enough to get a message.

But given each Tarot deck is personal to the images they use, I might eventually have time to really go into depth of cards meaning. I have 5 decks myself, and though messages can be the same, the way they are presented are different depending on the cards images.

(Example being my Arcana Deck’s star is very big into hope and courage. As the person who represents it is these things. But my Vampire Deck’s Star is more about the determination and desire of hope than the feeling of it.)

So for your deck I’d be going into more about how the Star and The Dark go hand in hand. Your deck would talk more about the facing of darkness rather than the hope the Star invokes. And would give more messages to the reader that, say reversed, means they are in despair.

So say they got Strength and The Star reversed, the reading would indicate they are in despair and fear, the darkness is about to consume them, and Strength would tell them to face the Dark with calmness and resolve. Invoking in a way two beings, to face the fear of The Dark you must embrace the strength of The Hunt.

I hope this gives you an idea of why I adore Tarot Deck’s that are stylized to certain fandoms. Because though the meaning of the cards are roughly the same, the way they are presented and told to the reader is very different depending on the art and/or fandom they are based in.

Sorry for this info dump, I wish you well with your exams and your project. Dont feel any pressure to continue it, doing 72 cards with 22 of them being heavy stylized as Major Arcane is not easy. (Not to mention the 16 Court Cards.)

((Dude!! The Court Cards could easily be the 14 fears with the Magnus Institute and its Underground being the last two))

Ah, sorry getting carried away with this ‘ask’. Again good luck and hope everything goes well!

I absolutely love your descriptions for the tma tarot cards I drew!

I don't have a lot of practice with more flowery/metaphorical language. Seeing your proposals for the card meanings really sparked up my drive for this project once again. I can go in depth about my reasonings and analysis but poetic prose is a whole other ball park.

The fact that I don't actually have a lot of experience with tarot is also certainly a factor. at the beginning I had trouble matching characters with their cards since all decks are different but that is also the beaty of tarot I learned!

Here's the whole list of the Major Arcana matches so far (keep in mind these might still change, some of theses matches I am more attached to than others)! I paired up all these cards a few months ago so atm am a bit fuzzy on my exact thought process but I made it a point to give each fear AT LEAST one card of the Major Arcana (including the extinction). I have not done the Courts as of yet and probably won't for a while.

0 - the fool - Micheal Shelly

1 - the magician - Anabelle Cain

2 - the high priestess - Melanie King/Helen Richardson (I'm still split on this one)

3 - the empress - Gertrude Robinson

4 - the emperor - Jonah Magnus/Elias Bouchard

5 - the hierophant - Raymond Fielding

6 - the lovers - Agnes Montague and Jack Barnabas

7 - the chariot - Julia Montauk and Trevor Herbert

8 - strength - Daisy Tonner and Badura Hussain

9 - the hermit - Martin Blackwood

10 - wheel of fortune - Georgie Barker and Oliver Banks

11 - Justice - Peter Lukas

12 - the hanged man - Jonathan Sims

13 - death - Gerry Keay

14 - temperance - Jared Hopworth

15 - the devil - Nikola Orsinov

16 - the tower - Micheal Crew

17 - the star - Manuela Dominguez

18 - the moon - Gary Boylen

19 - the sun - Jane Prentis

20 - judgement - Hazekiah Wakely

21 - the world - Simon fairchild

I have my in depth notes on these somewhere in my journal so if anyone's interested I can go in depth on each card, why I chose who I chose as well as alternative candidates :)

PS.: Actually I should probably check out the Courts before I finalize these matches. who knows maybe I'll find better ones and push off some of the Eye servants over there I mean I love them dearly but also this deck is VERY heavily Eye stacked. the 'one card per fear minimum rule' definitely stays regardless

PSS.: (god I can't even even fit them all in the tags, my pookies...)

divider by @kodaswrld !!

[pluralsword]

hehe ty so much!!! we'll work on it when we can :3 and yeah we do love that ship a lot

thought you'd like to know since you wanted to chat with people that we have a 10 minute stopmotion that we need to finish special effects for that we may or may not release that among other things featured Animated Arcee/Gen Selects Nightbird with both being martial arts teachers on Pre-War Cybertron during a time when Nova Prime was ruling and he drafted the two for an invasion of Velocitron, and Arcee eventually started a military revolt after Kup was killed in combat, the two played a crucial part in supporting the revolution against Nova and witnessed Energon Arcee (who we have as a sort of leader of Velocitron) become a bearer of the Autobot Enigma of Combination and thus a Prime. Nightbird/Arcee do have some adorable embracing moments and Nightbird is a very capable combatant who alongside Animated Arcee help teach the main character (an idw stylized Arcee mostly before her first surgery from Solus Prime, we use a galvatron custom in trans colors for this, her sibling Galvatron also plays a major role in the story) about martial arts stuff, meditation, and transformation (more in the gender-aesthetic/philosophical sense), we were more less gunning for older Arcee/Nightbird as a t4t ship

(we also kind of shared this to motivate ourselves to finish the special effects and the very special way we do dialogue for it that we don't want to spoil, this was done back in late 2022/early 2023 before legacy nova prime released)

"Arcee/Nightbird as a t4t ship" is so swag.

this is awesome. good luck on finishing your short film! I'm excited to watch it! take your time though, dont overburden yourself!

[the-rat-of-all-time]

Side characters: disk one (if i made a mistake, no i didn't)

Part one 

Fiore

Arcana: the lovers

Role:minor villain -> major ally and love interest 

he/him

Cishet

age:19

Height: 5’11”

Born: chicago

Powers: Can control and grow roses to pass what is usually possible. He can also transform his body or parts of it into a more roselike state, so he can extend his limbs as vines or even regrow parts of his body if he has enough water, nutrients and energy.

Appearance: a lean man with dark skin and gray eyes. He has mid length dreads and black hair. As a citizen he wears streetwear like clothes, but when in costume he wears a red and gold leather jacket (with rolled up sleeves) and pants. The color is dull but still there, he also wears a red domino mask and yellow utility belt. He wants to stay hidden, but stand out if seen

Backstory: when his father died when he was young his mother was forced to take a cleaning job with the mob. When his powers developed he was seen as a valuable asset, and while he was unwilling to kill he was a natural at thievery. From a young age he worked for the mob so his mom could have a good life, but he hated it and the people he worked under, so when his mom died he made a break for it with another member who he worked well with (talent wise he still fucking hated him). They became thieves for hire who were always one step ahead of the mob. During one job they were stopped by Avia (everyone else was “busy”). Fiore (always a charmer) was able to defeat her by “fake” flirting with her to get her off guard, and the combined strength of him and the other dude, but when the other dude suggested more heinous actions he was tied up by vines and left to the mercy of whoever got there first. This was the start of his recurring run-ins with our heroes, a path to redemption and the gradual realization that flirting with the cute girl you're fighting leads to confusing feelings later down the line. It comes to a boiling point when he agrees to work with another villain for a fresh start in exchange for him stealing some things, testing out a superhuman enhancement drug and getting the DNA samples of the main cast. He does the first two things, but when he uses the drug to turn into a giant plant monster he is only able to get avia’s sample (they also bond because of temporary plant-based mind melding). He is not fully paid due to not getting all of the samples so he fucks with the evil plans and saves the heroes. He is MIA for a bit before sending a letter to Avia about a big valentine's day masquerade he’s going to rob. She goes because she had no other plans than to dick around with Jack and Knox. They meet up undercover and spend the party together, leading to him admitting that there was no plan and he just wanted to ask her out. This moment is then interrupted by an actual robbery of the ball which they work together to stop. The night ends with them dating and Avia sleeping in his bed for the night (he took the couch). More shit happens, knox fucking dies and in the final fight, Fiore is able to beat the right-hand-woman of the villain. More couple shit happens, they have two kids, one dies and he is kidnapped and assumed dead, but he is not dead instead he leads a group of freedom fighters in a country under magnus’s rule. After part two he becomes a teacher at the academy’s rose program.

Personality: as Rosa Rossa (his alter ego) he is a charming gentleman thief with a flair for the dramatic, but as his regular self he is very mild mannered and likes to keep a low profile. He has a strict moral code (think the rogues from the flash comics). He will avoid violence and will never kill as he knows that even the police that get in his way are just doing their jobs, all he wants to do is steal stuff to survive and make a show of it.

Part two

Alys

Arcana: the devil

Role: rival, rival love interest (in her mind only), token straight (in her mind only),mostly a joke character, minor antagonist -> ally (part three)

she/her

Cis and totally likes men she swears

Lesbian

Age:18

Height: 4’11” (human form). 80 feet (full draconic form on hind legs)

Born: wales

Powers: Can change her body to have draconic features/ powers such as wings or fire breath, she can also transform into a completely draconic form

Appearance: a girl with red hair, extremely dark eyes and pale freckled skin. She wears very girly pink clothing. When fighting her suit is a specialized catsuit with self repairing technology that has shorter legs and arms as well as a hole on the back. It is equipped with a device on her hip that stores and applies the suit when transforming, she also has another smaller one that she can wear under regular clothing just in case. Her draconic form is a basic red western dragon. In part three her attire is upgraded, half of her body from the waist up has intense burn scars 

Backstory: she grew up very privileged and was sent to the academy to train her powers. She would end up befriending three others who she would make a team with known as “the fantasies” (name pending). She would be top of her class if it wasn't for that cute quiet boy… girl…they? (she can't really tell, she’s not transphobic she’s just stupid). Now she has a mission to prove herself and win the heart of Astor bc (to her knowledge) there’s like a 49% that they’re a dude (they’re not) and a cool hot boyfriend is what all girls like her are supposed to have… right? After winning the tournament arc she learns that astor is indeed not a dude, and now she has to abandon her crush because she likes dude and only dudes and nothing else shut the fuck up. She continues her stint as a very minor and hopefully well loved character. After the attack of brutus and the death of half of astor’s team, she and her team (assisted by Tainming in a supporting role) take center stage to figure out a possible conspiracy by a powerful hero that could lead to many being harmed, but it’s too little too late. As the man once known as Nevaeh took to the streets of New York unexpectedly, the team tried their best, but he was too strong. The fight ended in her taking a full blast of powerful flames to protect her team who was unable to fight. She knew she would die, but just before the light left her eyes she was swept away in an instant to be helped. As she watched the burning city from her ambulance it started to rain. In part three she works under Tianming to hunt down the main group, but after a big fight she quits due to Tainming going a little off the rails. She spends the rest of the part chilling in her mountain cabin with her scientist gf

Personality: she is very energetic and self centered. She cares a lot about what people think of her. She rarely will insult someone to their face, but will constantly be passive aggressive to anyone she doesn't like. Despite her flaws she is an amazing team leader who will try her best to make sure her team is happy and healthy (even if it doesn't seem like it). In part three she has somewhat toned down a bit. She has learned more about herself and values privacy (no one knew about the scientist gf or he cabin until she told them). I think her in part three is a diva but i'm not 100% sure what that means for i am neither the girls or the gays (yet who knows what happens) i am a rat

Part three

Astor

Arcana: death

Role: mentor (kinda), honorary mc (travels separate but still will sometimes tag along), former mc, sad, hot, Yuta Okkotsu

they/them 

Pansexual

Demisexual

Age:20

Height: 5’0”

Born :chicago 

Powers: 

weather control (born): can control weather and its elements. Has almost mastered

Nosferatu stone (artifact embedded in eye socket): can steal the powers of others as long as they have consumed a certain amount of that person’s flesh and/or blood. Rarely used

ferrokinetic powers (taken by them from brutus in her last moments): metal manipulation. Has almost mastered, but rarely uses it for anything else but flinging knifes, using everyday metal objects and making metal arms

Telepathy (stolen from a former villain by brutus, she took more than what was needed): used mainly to communicate due to their selective mutism (that’s a retcon btw bc i did not know that existed and it makes shit much easier) 

Extreme physical capabilities (not a power they are just built different): master of stealth and agility, has mastered the ability to fight without using arms or powers

+ more!

Appearance: a short and athletically built person with light brown skin and black kinky hair. Their hair covers their eyes much less now and one eye has been replaced by a red gem, crudely lodged in the socket. Their body has more scaring; most noticeable of all the changes is the fact that both of their arms are gone from slightly below the shoulder 

Backstory: After the events of part two; astor was sent to recover both physically and mentally in the hospital. When they’re stay was done they went off to be alone for a while ;however, when the NYC attack happened, they arrived at the last minute to save the day before fucking off back to europe. They would become somewhat of a boogieman (boogieperson?) as they lurked at night fighting street crime watched their cousin from the shadows, and this reputation was not helped by the news blowing stuff out of proportion and saying they’re a loose vampire. The main gang ended up fighting this “vampire” with the fight only ending when Alex and Astor got a clear look at eachother. They would end up as a mentor/honorary group member for a bit, and then Japan happened. In Japan Lucifer would surprise the heroes with an attack, so while the main three ran Astor held him off. It went well for a bit, but then he started to target civilians which gave him an opening to attack. Astor was presumed dead, but ended up alive and very unwell. After Tainming’s fight with the main three in Memphis, Lucifer came to finish them all off, but then it started to rain. They both fought desperately, and to the point that if it went on everyone close by would most likely die. Astor was able to be talked down allowing the main three to fight Lucifer.

Personality: a little less stoic especially after they were able to communicate with telepathy. Their face is still mostly blank unless shit’s really bad, but they try to come off as not robotic (key word try). Despite their growth they are most definitely not doing ok, and suffer from mental effects of their trauma from Brutus as well as schizophrenia. The true reason they left was because they felt like they were a ticking time bomb who would, at any second, lose it.

Arcana Magnus: for our first post, we thought we'd get some help from the Earth we post on! Transformers media in your world is to sell toys after all (aside from people wanting to tell a story) and we thought some the customs in this photo would help set the tone even though talking via toys won't usually happen (and well, the unofficial Ask Vector Prime 2 has done digibashes paired with prose storytelling, so not new ground really). Please feel free to send us asks, even for things canon hasn't answered! :3

We're talking about canon here besides touching on those two. Here's the alt text/dialogue so people can read it this way, its a bit lengthy because of the amount of dialogue:

Alt text: A photo of transforming toys on a windowsill, with a trans flag for the background flooring, and a dark blue / purple night-time cardboard backdrop of a scifi city of cybertronian inspiration. The figures are engaged in combat and talking:

Titan Returns Arcee has her pistols out and is firing one into Siege Ion Storm's chest point blank, which has a blast effect there representing the impact, with a KABLAM orange-pink sound description above. TR Arcee is looking at Legends Arcee and saying: "So, you used to have a human body and then because you wanted to be a transformer from seeing the toys you became one? That’s so cool. I’m both a gal from Cybertron and binary bonded with a human who’s a dear friend of mine at this point- and our writing has now and my design is inspired from our trans iterations."

Ion Storm: "GAH- yeah your toy is cool as hell, it’s nice that things came full circle and car TTRPG Arcee can use her car hood as a shield.

Legends Arcee meanwhile stands on top of a collapsing Beast Hunters Shockwave, cutting his cannon in twain with a sword while stabbing Shockwave through his mono-optic face with her other sword: "Indeed! And yeah, my writing isn’t too great and I’m sexualized in a way that isn’t very tasteful or about me having agency in that regard, but as a concept me becoming a bot is fantastic, it’s a sentiment that resonates with the nonhuman community particularly human-bodied robot folk. Hopefully I’ll get better writing in a new iteration someday…"

Her attacks have similarly pink-orange sound effects of CLANG and CRUNCH.

Shockwave: Urk- I would hope for more logic…  bleh

Behind her, Studio Series 86 Arcee is kneeling, with her pistol on her thigh, and Generations Selects Galvatron's fusion cannon held over her shoulder, firing it with blast effects into staggered Kingdom Cyclonus's shoulder and a SKWOMP sound effect: "Funny that we’re talking about this, besides my binary bond with Daniel, I did have a synthoid human body briefly, though I didn’t sign up for that. I think I wore overalls pretty well and certainly have a better understanding from my binary bond that was voluntary."

Nearby, a T30 Arcee painted in trans and lesbian flag patterns and guns on her backstacks has beheaded a falling T30 Jhiaxus with her sword. Jhiaxus's neck socket has a blast effect exploding upwards like pressured blood/fuel. T30 Arcee is looking at an Arcee customized from Legacy Elita-1 to resemble IDW1 Arcee, and T30 Arcee's speech bubble says: "Hmm, I mean, Transformers has always danced around that with the ‘transformers are humans in robot bodies with alien context’ concept in terms of writing- the toy design two of you are retooled from, me minus my custom pride flag paint job, though, definitely hits that sexualization thing. My concept design was going to be the basis for IDW1 Arcee over there in 4th reformat with a surgery that she was happy with as part of her gender journey, but the comics were so ahead from schedule that there wasn’t much of me to go on. Thankfully the artist wanted to keep in line with the comic aesthetic, so she looks different."

The IDW1 Arcee custom, erstwhile, who has cut into Jhiaxus's wing with her flaming orange blade with a pink and cyan FWOOSH sound and a fiery blast effect on top of her blade, is glancing at Legacy Arcee, and saying: "Yeah, that loops back around to the basis of Titan Returns Arcee, although I’m not sure that’s why she’s a Blurr retool. I mean, I feel like a Legacy Elita retool to Arcee with swords is fairly obvious route to go and it seems there are other people who think that, given the robust look I have from 2014-2018 (and that’s not even counting how other Arcee iterations drawn in Transformers vs. GIJOE, or IDW2, or Transformers vs. Terminator). I dunno, there’s something to be said for how root designs that look ‘overly human’ can work, my second reformat is in that category and outside of one cover with Galvatron that hasn’t aged well it’s not really focused on, which I think is interesting in retrospect even though it wasn’t intentional for a trans narrative. But yeah it is funny to see you on covers sometimes given the difference."

Legacy Arcee, who unlike her pink car bot companions, is a blue motorcycle, is in point blank contact with an unlicensed toy based on Airachnid (APC Night Countess), while Arcee's forearm blades are out, and she has 3D print blasters pointed at Airachnid's chest and head, taking a headshot with a blast effect over Airachnid's face, and Arcee is saying: "It’s still absurd to me that the only appearance of my Legacy form in canon media outside of toy stuff is me in a leotard or a swimsuit. Clothing is cool and all but am I hiding, and if it’s for fun why aren’t any of the guys doing the same thing too? I’m more partial to the fact that most of the time we are all basically walking around nude save for a few of us, and those who do wear clothes don’t do so on a basis of being a gal. I would much rather take being curvy with metal boobs while living sweetly and ferociously."

Airachnid: "You- guess fanfic and art will do…"

End Alt text.

TAZ Balance Episode 40: Lunar Interlude III: Rest & Relaxation

Written 15 May 2025, shortly after relistening, having listened to the entire Balance arc some time ago.

During their downtime, the three pursue their own pursuits.

Magnus approaches Carey, and after clarifying he’s not asking her out, asks her to teach him to be more like a Rogue - in exchange for helping her make a wooden puzzle box to for Killian’s birthday. They bond while practicing stealth and dexterous moves, and at the end, Carey gives Magnus her own first set of thieves’ tools, and Magnus gives her a carved ring with a rose she can give to Killian - if she wants.

Merle has taken a spa break to help recover from losing his arm, and invited the Director to join him. They talk about faith, and Merle’s concern that Pan isn’t actually interested in looking after him, but his soul wood arm awakes and gestures, and Merle concludes maybe Pan does care. The Director explains that she spent a long time supporting other people, until she decided to take hold of her own destiny; she lost some good friends in doing so, but she feels it was the only choice she could have made.

Taako has decided to teach Angus McDonald magic. He shares some of his past; that he was a cook and used transmutation magic to make a show of it, until something went wrong and a lot of people were poisoned, and now he doesn’t cook very much. He starts Angus out easy, with Mage Hand, and after a week and a half he can do that and Produce Flame. He gives Taako some flavourless macarons and asks to learn Prestidigitation to flavour them, but when Taako points the Umber-ella, it acts by itself to cast Scorching Ray, destroying the macarons. It then points itself at the wall and casts more Scorching Ray, spelling out the letters LUP, before running out of magic and falling still.

After spending some time working on themselves, the three head to Leon’s workshop to redeem their Fantasy Gachapon tokens. Leon, fed up with their shenanigans, attempts to use candy to bribe them into doing it properly. Magnus and Merle succeed in this incredibly easy task, with Magnus getting a featherweight cuirass (a lightweight leather cuirass that gives a bonus to acrobatics while having the same AC bonus as Magnus’ previous armour, which I don’t recall being described previously) and Merle gets a pair of awareness frames (nerdy-looking spectacles that give bonuses to investigation and perception checks, which should stack nicely with the true heart clasp’s insight boost). Taako steals the candy from Leon and replaces it with his Gachapon token. Leon collapses in tears, and Taako takes the token back and uses it to get the hole thrower (a handheld catapult that can put holes in things).

Having broken Leon, they head for the Fantasy CostCo. Merle gets Matthias the living grimoire (which gives advantage on arcana checks and prepares a spell Merle doesn’t already know) and Strongmouse’s Laughing Amulet (which allows Merle to attempt to get an HP refill if he tells a joke Strongmouse (Griffin) likes; but if the joke isn’t good enough, he gets hit with lightning). Magnus gets a magnetic charge (a ball that can emit magnetic repulsion), a tarantula bracelet (which casts Spider Climb) and a champion’s belt (which gives the option of using wisdom or charisma instead of strength for a check, which doesn’t make sense for Magnus so I might’ve misunderstood; maybe it’s the other way around). Taako buys mockingbird gum (which allows him to emulate another’s voice), an arcane trickster’s glove (which turns Mage Hand invisible and allows use of arcana instead of stealth or sleight of hand for related checks) and the no sodium salt shaker (which turns poisoned food bright pink, and any food taste delicious). Magnus sells the gems he stole from Luca for a communal pool, and they spend it on 2 healing potions, a haunted doll that can absorb a third failed death save, and a non-magical rapier for Magnus.

Level up time, going to Level 10. Magnus needs a rapier, because he’s now a Rogue! Multi-class, anyway. He’s learned Thieves’ Cant, he can use those tools Carey gave him, he can sneak attack with his new rapier, he’s got cunning action, and he’s taken expertise in stealth and thieves’ tools. He’s also found out he hasn’t been using his shield correctly, and if he’s using it, that brings his AC up to 20. He really min-maxes. There’s also proficiency increase, and more hit points.

Merle learns new spells Insect Plague and Tree Stride, plus he’ll get a new cantrip and possibly more spells to go with his new Level Five spell slots. He’s also now got Divine Intervention, which Griffin decides to retcon to make Merle’s Pan-assisted Banish at the end of Crystal Kingdom Divine Intervention. And he’s got the proficiency increase and hit points.

Taako now gets Polymorph once a day free, probably more spells, and the proficiency and hit points.

I like that Magnus decided to diversify from rushing in and taking the hits, and his friendship with Carey was rather sweet. Merle’s choice for the Director to join him at the spa was a bit weird, but it seems he’s sensing a loneliness in her. And Taako taking on Angus as a pupil is nice. I just wonder what’s up with the Umber-ella?

Plenty of new items, many I don’t recall, so not sure they’ll be used. I think they keep getting excited by the idea of the items, but don’t think much about what they might actually be used for, and just spend all their money willy-nilly. And then forget what they’ve got.

Still, some interesting breadcrumbs to explore further, and the possibility of some very interesting item usage.
