📢 Last Defense Academy School Council 1st Online Fan Meeting Report

Today, the first online fan meeting was held on Discord*! First of all, I would like to clarify that no new game information was revealed during this meeting. Since it was the first fan meeting ever, the focus was on clarifying the purpose of the School Council with the official staff and the fans. *For those who don't know, this event is only for those who live in Japan and have been selected for the Ambassador Program they were previously recruited for.

The official staff who participated included two representatives from Famitsu (one of whom was Miyokawa, known for appearances on Rain Code's YouTube program) and two from ANIPLEX, including producer Shuntaro Inou (稲生 舜太郎). Inou is a key figure who appeared alongside Kodaka during media interviews at the Tokyo Game Show.

There were no representatives from Tookyo Games this time, but Kodaka made a brief appearance via a video message at the end of the meeting. His message was mainly a note of gratitude to the fans who joined, without much noteworthy information. (He mentioned things that he had already mentioned many times in his X account, such as spending a lot of money to make this game.) However, the background of the video, likely filmed in Tookyo Games’ office, featured several movie posters, one of which was for John Wick. The poster showed John pointing a gun directly at the viewer, giving the impression that Kodaka himself was being threatened. Also, perhaps he recorded that video late at night and his face looked a little tired, which also made him look like a person trapped somewhere. Then, Miyokawa joked about this, saying, “Maybe Kodaka is in an extreme(極限) state," which made both the staff and the fans laugh. (By the way, "extreme" is one of the catchphrases for The Hundred Line.)

It was mentioned that Kodaka will be present at the upcoming online fan meeting, but it is not known when exactly he will appear.

One piece of information that might sound interesting is that Inou mentioned that both ANIPLEX and Tookyo Games staff frequently check fan art posted on platforms like X. Kodaka in particular is said to be actively looking at fan art. Many of you may already know this, as he occasionally reposts (retweets) fan creations. However, when this was brought up, the official staff all nodded and said, "Kodaka checks very often," which suggests that he might be paying even more attention than we imagined.

This fan meeting was held in a format where fans reacted, sent messages and questions via text chat while watching streaming video from the official staff. The chat was incredibly active, with messages pouring in at an astounding speed, showing just how passionate the fanbase is.

Although no new game information was shared this time, ANIPLEX’s PR representative mentioned that they have many plans in store, so there’s plenty to look forward to!

That is all for this report. Thanks for reading! 🫶💕

SPONSORSHIPS & THE ACTIVITY SQUARE 🦢 laurier academy dr

hi. uh. I may have forgotten abt this blog... BUT I HAVE SOME NEW IDEAS SO... do expect some posts.

Sponsorships. Laurier has a ton of them.

What do sponsorships do (other than provide laurier with money, lmao) and how do they affect students?

table of contents:

sponsorships: the academy - how sponsorships affect the academy

the activity square - purpose

sponsorships: student body - perks students get

clubs - what do sponsorships do for clubs

sponsorships: the academy

It definitely depends on the sponsor and how much Laurier allows them to do. For example, sometimes, a sponsor will only give students discount codes to use on their website through text. Other times, sponsors will be able to set up a stall in the entertainment street of Laurier's campus.

Generally, sponsors hope for the students to post about the food, makeup, skincare, service, stationary, or whatever online so that other people will buy from the brand.

Sometimes, brands will be specifically stationed in the amendities buildings (Aeos, Idle Hour, ReFlow, and Espoa).

Do expect some flyers hanging around about the brands-- some brands may even advertise a coupon code on the poster.

the activity square

The activity square is essentially the entertainment area. Cafes, student run events, Aeos, Idle Hour, ReFlow, Espoa, and Lemuna are here.

Lemuna (le-moo-na) is essentially the sponsor building. New products are constantly introduced here. Usually they're discounted, and oftentimes students will do a Lemuna haul/tour every week or month.

What kinds of companies like to distribute their products here?:

Espoir

LilybyRed

Romand

Snack companies

Stationary companies

Isntree

Flower knows

Fwee

Judydoll

Parnell

Shisedo

Peripera

Clio

Wakemake

Amuse

Infold pte. ltd (Mostly love nikki stuff)

These are not the only companies that sponsor Laurier, this is just a short list. A lot of the times, free bees are given out to students. While makeup and skincare are more popularly sponsored here, you can find other things like ramen, ice cream, gum, and hair products here too.

sponsorships: the student body

As mentioned previously, laurier students receive discounts at sponsored shops. Students may also receive free PR, but usually companies like to target the top 30~ students in the school.

Students ranked in the top 10 should expect to receive at least 1-3 products through PR per week.

clubs

The script states that companies often sponsor clubs. Club company sponsors tend to receive stuff more often from the company, and companies usually correspond with the theme of the club.

Like for (my fav) the Afternoon Tea club, since it's a lolita fashion club, Flowerknows, Devil Inspired, and some smaller brands like Angelic Pretty like to sponsor this club.

Companies will financially aid the club and send in their products for the students to use either for free with no obligation to post about it, or in exchange for posting/directly advertising the products.

omg THANK YOU for writing more fem!luca/marc! I Am Holding Your Hand So Hard rn that you break your scaphoid <3 theeee riiiiiinnng!!! luca contemplating telling marc about it. the way rosquez could've been That Couple but valentino fumbled so fucking badly (i have always thought if everything was the same except if marc is female it would have been like a million times worse and more toxic). thinking about the honda of it all. the contemplation of marc being 21 at the time. the way marc is only 4 fucking years older than luca i am on the floor crying and dying. they marquez family of it all. LUCA THINKING about stefania and this history of rings in their family. luca being the one to sell graziano's ring.

Lucia can picture it just fine.

MÁRQUEZ IS A DYKE, in Marca's usual brashness, or la Gazzetta's, followed by: the 8-times MotoGP world champion corrupted Valentino Rossi's younger sister.

María laughs when she tells her that. Her eyes are doll-like and flat, somewhat uncanny, and she blinks very little even while her broad mouth spills out this chuckle, too loud, too brash.

"Bollera, marimacho," she sing-songs, which, yeah—Lucia has raced in Spain, too.

But then María puts her hand on her hip, fucked up pinkie hooked into her elastic band of her panties maybe accidentaly.

And she's looking up, the tip of her tongue pressed between the whiteness of her teeth. Beseeching, almost sweet. Lucia lets herself be tugged along, until she has María's big, sagging tits against the hollow of her chest.

Flatly, she counters, "Lella."

María's nails bite into her naked skin. She has a shark's smile.

perceptions about them would be a mess, actually. i don't think either lucia or maría would be frequent targets of homophobic campaigns besides the obvious sporting aspect.

maría is too feminine, too femme fatale coded to the media. pin up doll unless she's flexing. lucia too had spent ages keeping up this catholic distant angel imagery. and she's rarely involved in scandals

there's some, of course. boys beaten to the finish line. instagram comments. but the sexist abuse would be much more targeted, much more pressing. for many, many years, it isn't the possibly not straight aspect that people can attack about both of them

it's maría's brazeness. it's lucia's deliberateness, her coldness. much more pointed in maría's case

i think there's an degree of hypocrisy to the whole affair. obviously the element of "is the best at a masculine sport" will never disappear, so maría's womanhood comes with an asterisk, always. but i do think that maría would receive much more targeted abuse.

that she (feminine, pretty, etc) would be a much easier target for sexist language. she's the whore. the conniving bitch

it only intensifies when she reaches the premier class. to valentino, it's a conquest to bed the pretty young thing who's slobbering for him. to maría, it's a fucking PR disaster that she bulldozes straight through because she's horribly in love

they say she's sleeping her way to the top. she's spreading her legs to tame the competition. and then—

maría is having a fucking affair with jorge lorenzo behind valentino's back, or so valentino says. to deny him his tenth. whore, whore, whore, whore

it's much, much worse. and even as valentino says that she and jorge have a plot, laughs dead-eyed when people call maría a slut, he kicks prospects off the academy for saying the same about lucia. the girl he can discard, and the girl he must protect

so i think there is an element of relief, even. oh, dyke? is that the worst you can do?

TS Film Thoughts Masterpost

As promised.

Let's start things off -

Breaking News - Headlines about the film

Dec 9 2022 - her film contract makes headlines

From what I can find, this is the first that anyone knows she is producing a film. There are no details released other than it's a script she wrote and she will be directing the film.

The next we hear is Dec 7, 2023 from the Tennessean --

It's been crickets, essentially. There are no public details I can find about the film anywhere including cast list, release date, content, ETC.

Interestingly, two days ago -- though uncertain of validity of source -

I don't have access to puck so cannot confirm what the article says; but this was recent! So; in theory, she finishes her Eras tour and moves directly in to film.

More on how Disney+ ties in our next section...

Who is Searchlight Pictures?

Created April 29, 1994 - formerly known as Fox Searchlight/under 20th/21st Century Fox

Biggest success: Slumdog Millionaire 187 Academy Ward Nominations with 46 wins; 5 Best Picture since 2009 117 Golden Globe Nominations; 51 wins 66 Screen Actors Guild Award Nominations; 55 wins 137 Independent Spirit Awards, 54 Wins

Other Notable Films: 12 Years A Slave; Black Swan; Napoleon Dynamite;

20th century fox, prior to the creation of Searchlight, was prominent in the specialty and independent films market in the 1990s; it carried this interest into Searchlight, at least initially.

In 2012, it was incorporated into Murdoch's 21st Century Fox. Barf.

On Dec 14, 2017 Disney put their first bid out on 21st Century Fox/Fox Searchlight. On March 19, 2019 the companies merged and Disney acquired Fox Searchlight; Fox News notoriously split independently. Disney dropped the name Fox; so now we have just Searchlight Pictures. There is also a Searchlight Pictures TV and shorts production, which for the sake of time I will not get into.

For Funsies, here is a short film (Jun 18 2019, after Disney acquired) produced by them called....LAVENDER. About a gay man who has a relationship with a married gay couple. Can't make it up.

Anyway, since merging with Disney especially, the company seems to be LGBTQ friendly.

And yes, Joe Alwyn has worked with Searchlight, with tweets I found dating back to 2018 with Searchlight UK. Make of that what you would like, I have no real objective commentary on the matter.

Taylor as a Director

She also directed the Long Pond Studio Sessions and Miss Americana.

Most of her directorial work has been since the Lover debut. Most of which is very queer coded/sapphic.. and again, make of that what you will.

Appearances/Pap Walks, ETC

Since her split from JA, we have seen her with multiple friends in the film industry. Among these: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Selena Gomez, Keleigh Teller, Miles Teller, Sophie Turner, Emma Stone...

And dare I say.... Travis Kelce, who seems to want to break his way into the entertainment industry?

(aside from this headline; his failed dating show, his podcast, his multiple PR deals like with ZenWater... etc. I rest my case).

We also know there has been some B roll footage taken at the Chiefs Games.

Additionally, the media coverage of this relationship has been an absolute f*cking circus; with constant headlines of the two and their "engagement" / relationship dynamics. On Taylor's end, we have had constant references to Bejeweled (where she Ghosts); including Keleigh Teller giving her the opal ring.

The Speculation

Yall, this is my opinion - you can agree, disagree, etc; but I have no insider information. Just thoughts.

She makes her film directorial debut with Searchlight - recently acquired by Disney, who is pro-LGBTQ; and is clearly in deep with business deals with them, as seen on Taylor Nation and her Eras Tour Film.

We have rumors of her beginning her film production at the end of the ERAS tour, along with knowledge of her currently with B roll footage from chiefs games. We have multiple highly papp'ed appearances with her + TK; but also with multiple film stars, including Blake Lively (still not over that photo), Sophie Turner (I do think there's altruism here tbh on TS's end), and Keleigh. If you believe Keleigh is her stand in invisible bride.... Holy shit. Between the opal ring shutdown of the media circus as well as her and TS literally taking a page out of TSHOEH and dressing in character...

My ultimate suspicion is that she's using actual experiences of her current life-highly papp'ed - to tell her story. And that Keleigh is her stand in muse in this film.

I also think the @spade-riddles we've been getting about a final act ending, etc, pertain to her film. I don't have evidence aside from speculation.

I rest my case. Enjoy this post and make of it what you will.

[regaliasonata]

for the send me a show : the whole of Disney era of pr

1.)Ninja Storm

Fav Character: We know this already its Dustin, he really is loveable and whether people like or dislike the season they aren't allowed to hate him

Fav Female Character: Very much enjoyed Tori and her interactions with the team, I think she worked well as the first female blue alongside being a freaking water elemental like she's underrated as hell.

My OTP: Hunter/Dustin, I have this in the morning, lunch and dinner. Honestly need to stop making doomed scenarios for them, love it better when they are happy with each other.

My NOTP: Nothing really tbh that i can think, I guess I'm not too huge on Marah/Dustin unless they are only platonic, Tori/Cam is a no go unless it's like poly.

My Other Ships: we love Cam/Shane in this house and Tori/Blake(add Kapri in the mix sometimes). Not a ship per se but firm believer Lothor dated some of the men in the academy back in the past, I mean it was an all guys school before Miko.

My Least Favorite Character: None really.

My Favorite Episode: The Wild Wipeout

Who I Would Date Off The Show: Dustin, Shane, Hunter, could alternate. I'm more Dustin coded so I'd fit right in😭

2.)Dino Thunder

Fav Character: Trent and Ethan, both goated characters in my book

Fav Female Character: We love Kira and Cassidy.

My OTP: Conner/Trent or Conner/Trent/Ethan/Kira where Trent in both of those is being loved and held closely at all times

My NOTP: unless it's poly I'm not really a big fan of Kira/Conner unless they are platonic ngl. Tommy/Elsa is more of laughs instead of love for me.

My Other Ships: Conner/Ethan is a really good one and anything involving Cassidy/Devin/Trent is fun(thank you @augment-techs for this). Also rare but with how the episode ended with them making up I kinda have a Derrick/Ethan one where Ethan shows him more science.

My Least Favorite Character: Unsure if I have one tbh..

My Favorite Episode: Lost in Translation and Thunder Storm, also bummed it was the last time we saw the Ninja Storm team outside of Tori, 20 years since…

Who I Would Date Off The Show: Conner could be handled well but I'd have to keep him informed on things not to say out of pocket and Trent and I would get along well together with our artsy sides(unsure if Anton would approve of me but let's guilt trip him)

3.)SPD

Fav Character: Bridge is peak

Fav Female Character: I love me some Syd and a firm believer that she should've become a red ranger

My OTP: Sky/Jack is cute along with Jack/Bridge/Sky

My NOTP: None tbh, I think there are a good amount of options for everyone here.

My Other Ships: Sky/Nick would've been chaotic if Mystic Force got their crossover. The nepotism in this one is powerful, Cruger/Merrick/RJ/Zen-Aku cause howl☠️☠️☠️

My Least Favorite Character: not a character but Sky's attitude at the beginning, he became better as we went on but Mrs.Tate should've arrived and smacked him across the head

My Favorite Episode: TBD but abridged is pretty good imo

Who I Would Date Off The Show: Jack is hot but he'd spite me for being taller than him, Sky I could get around along with Bridge.

4.)Mystic Force

Fav Character: Chip is undefeated

Fav Female Character: We stan Vida in this house for obvious reason.

My OTP: Vida/Necrolai is awesome and will never not be iconic, Daggeron/Xander kinda got me thinking lately(both pairings rival each other).

My NOTP: Leelee with anyone on the team.

My Other Ships: Nick/Sky, We shall not break up Udonna/Leanbow unless they are widows☠️

My Least Favorite Character: Don't have any but whoever was picking on Xander for his accent as a child needs to be dealt with, if Chase was in this universe he'd comfort Xander

My Favorite Episode: Dark Wish is awesome and legend mode is epic as hell

Who I Would Date Off The Show: Xander and Daggeron would be at the top of my list, getting magic'd all over the place if a catch my drift☠️

5.)Operation Overdrive

Fav Character: Mack is adorable

Fav Female Character: Rose a genius, an icon and is the moment

My OTP: Mack/Tyzonn works well, Will with anyone on the team works as well

My NOTP: Nothing much but Rose seems more into girls, like ships with the guys are okay but she definitely kisses the ladies

My Other Ships: Hear me out, Andrew/Tarrick as doomed fathers...but who's the wife in this situation?

My Least Favorite Character: no least favorite character but I hate how some of the Fandom is rude to Samuel Benta but doesn't have the same energy for ASJ

My Favorite Episode: TBD

Who I Would Date Off The Show: Mack and Tyzonn could work for me.

6.)Jungle Fury(MY SHOWWW)

Fav Character: arguably it's RJ, funny mentor, skilled, purple, werewolf, hot as fuck

Fav Female Character: Lily and Camille are epic, also standing ovation to Anna Hutchinson's acting cause her voice range is wild.

My OTP: Casey/RJ...I've been on this app for threeish years we all know this, along with Casey/Jarrod. THAT TWINK HAD EVERYONE IN SHAMBLES.

My NOTP: Casey/Lily, unless you have a poly thing going on keep them separated cause she's like a bigger sister tbh.

My Other Ships: Theo/Lily, Jarrod/Camille, Fran/Dom along with RJ/Merrick cause I love those wolves together.

My Least Favorite Character: Dai Shi's a punk ass bitch for fumbling the greatness of Camille

My Favorite Episode: The Phantom Beast arcs as a whole since we got more of the awesome showcase of the rinshi beasts along with Jarrod and Camille's beautiful rinzin forms. Also the penultimate episode with Casey saving Jarrod and fighting Dai Shi like...so selfless yet fans say he was a crybaby and had no character development??? Sure okay.

Who I Would Date Off The Show: Casey, RJ and Jarrod.

7.)RPM

Fav Character: Ziggy

Fav Female Character: Dr K is innocent of all crimes and we protect her.

My OTP: Ziggy/Dillon is so adorable along with Scott in the mix, Flynn pretty much with anyone works as well in my eyes

My NOTP: I guess it's okay but I'm not a big fan of Dillon/Summer.

My Other Ships: rare but the idea is Flynn/Trent with the idea Gemma introduced them during the crossover.

My Least Favorite Character: Fuck Venjix for making not only their lives worse but any ranger teams in this universe.

My Favorite Episode: TBD

Who I Would Date Off The Show: At the same Scott and Flynn, separately Dillon cause I'd like to be the sunshine for him(but also cause he could protect me).

[lunawings]

I loaded up Aikatsu Cinderella Lesson because I heard that you can scan older Aikatsu cards into it (i.e. cards that aren't on My No. 1 Stage like Aoi's initial PR) but nevermind scanning QR codes, I've been playing for like 10 minutes and I haven't even figured out how to do an audition yet....... I'm just wandering around Starlight Academy collecting cards?? It also doesn't look or sound like Aikatsu at all. Like...

Look at these coords!?! Hahah what.

Across Space and Prime

Part 2: New Faces and Familiar Names

"-allow me to introduce myself" he stated stretching out his dark servo in a peaceful motion "I am Optimus Prime"

.

.

.

A stark culture difference between humans and Cybertronian is the fact that for the later, having the same designation as another individual was incredible rare if not unheard of.

Imagine if there were two bots named Warpath? Or Preceptor? Or even Ultra?

That be too confusing and cause a good number of problems.

Not that it's never happened before, but these were written off as incompetence done by facility guardians and Boot-Camp trainers.

 And as far as Optimus had know his trainer Kup and given him a name all of his own.

No one should have had it, no one.

So how? Why was there a great bot in front of him that just addressed himself by his name.

 Optimus was interrupted by his thoughts when he heard Sentinel give a mean snort.

"Oh really? Your Optimus Prime"? he said, the anxious stare he had at the face of this large mech disappeared and replaced with a nasty sneer "Right and I'm a Herald of Primus"!

 The larger bot looked taken aback and moved slightly back away from the group.

 "Sentinel-" Optimus whispered urgently but his fellow Prime just kept going.

 "Listen impersonating a Prime is a serious offence against High Command" he said placing both servos on his hips "Even if it is a disgraced one at that"!

  Optimus cringed as he saw the looks of shock and outrage grow on their faces.

"Sentinel"! he hissed and immediately pulled the other to face him.

  "What"? Sentinel demanded "You may be some maintenance bot, but you still hold the title of a Prime, not anyone could just use that name so freely"

Optimus tried really hard not to gnash his denta in frustration "I don't think that's the case though"

"Oh," replied Sentinel skeptically "And why is that"?

 The other Prime shook his head "I don't know but there not acting like their lying" before adding "Besides, why would any bot try to impersonate a no name bot like me"?

Sentinel face relaxed a bit from being called correct, till Optimus added this next part.

"In ether case, can you please not try to antagonize them"

 "I'm not antagonizing them"! he growled

Optimus shook his head "Well your not exactly being polite to the bots that possible saved our lives"

 On the other side of the room the bots who had brought them were having their own conversation. 

"Arcee" grunted the red and white bot "What kind of processor addled bots did you bring back to our base"?!

 "Hey, don't look at me"! said the femme defensively "Bumblebee was the one who insisted on bringing them"

<They weren't Cons> beeped the yellow bot, still in binary <You know what would have happened to them had they been left behind>!

Bumblebee.

Hearing the mechs full name it was then that Optimus took a more detailed look at the bot.

The same name, the same paint-job, yet so different.

His Bumblebee was a minibot that barely reached his waist, his plating was blockier and more compact, with a helm that carried two barely visible horns, and a glossa that spoke almost none stop. But outside the yellow of his paint job this Bumblebee easily would have toward over his teams minibot. The mech was easily the size of him and Sentinel, his plating more armored. Circular but at the same time reinforced, with many of the wires and joints slightly exposed within the seams yet protected by the other shell of the metal around it. Metal that looked far stronger and sturdier than any civilian frame would have. Along with that, two yellow doorwings that made him think of Praxian citizens he had seen back when he still was at the Academy at Cybertron.

Than there was his use of binary code instead of his own vocalizer.

 While there were mechs out there who choose not to speak as much, using code was often something reserved only for when a bot needed to keep their message private pr if they no longer had any use of their vocalizer.

A pit grew in Optimus stomach.

Loss of use of the vocalizer were usually the results of ether rare cases of deformations within the system, accidents, or battles....

Optimus took another good look at the bots around him.

 Outside of Arcee and the red and white bot (which Optimus was sure he could make a pretty good guess of) the mechs around him were easily at the scale of warrior class type mechs. And with weapons equipped into their bodies much like warframe even, if the blue of their eye lights didn't obviously state them as Autobot.

  Optimus then pipped up a question "If its not too much trouble, could we please use one of your central computers"

The red and white bot sent a fiery glare in his direction "Let a bunch of unknow bots put their servos and some of our crucial equipment"? he stated "I don't think so"

"Then just one of your smaller monitors then" said Optimus "I just need to access the planets network".

 "I said that's not happening"! growled the mech

"Please! Our readers our down, as well as our commlinks, we have no idea where we are, I simply want to confirm something-"

The red and white bot gave an even fiercer look.

"And I'm saying I'm not readily assisting a group of strange mechs, especially those who are willingly accompanied by a Decepticon"! 

He jabbed a metal digit at the direction of the femme who had been quite all this time.

But no sooner did they notice the Decepticon symbol on her color did their arms changed into the lethal blasters from earlier.

  "A Con"?! shouted the large green mech named Bulkhead "Slag it! And we brought them right in"!

Blackarachnia took a defensive position and as the solder class bots approach them.

   "She isn't a threat/She's not with us"! shouted both Optimus and Sentinel.

Blackarachnia snorted "Goodness! I feel so protected"!

 Optimus threw an unhappy look at both the femme and his fellow Prime before looking at the bots in front of him, under their mistrustful stares he raised his hand in a peaceful manner.

"We don't mean you any harm, we are not affiliated with the Decepticons, we simply wish to try to establish where we are" he said "If you could allow me to look up a name, I would greatly appreciate that"

  The red and white mech spoke up "We are not offering assistance to-"

"Please, Ratchet"

The mech looked startled before narrowing his optics.

"How do you know my name"?

Optimus gave him a sad smile "Your an experience medic in the field and despite your less than perfect berth side manner your a bot who deeply cares for his patients" 

The mech was silent before he looked at the bot besides him, the other Optimus Prime.

  "Optimus"? he called

How strange was it to hear his own name but not a single optic was aimed at him but instead this large and powerful looking mech.

They looked at him for orders, for guidance, with absolute trust.

A look not expressed down the line from his own team till much later on their stay on earth.

This mech, this leader, who was now studying him.

Despite how intimidated he was of them, Optimus gulped before staring back at those ancient optics.

Locking with those optics Optimus found another difference between himself and the mech, that while the optics of his eyes glowed a bright blue behind the glass the eyes of the towers bot before him shone with a light all of its own. An ancient bright iris shining brightly among a depth of mechanics, both age and experience clear in them. He had been around older mechs such as Ratchet, and Ultra Magnus, even encountered Alpha Trion when he gave brief lectures at the academy.

But he never encountered optics like these.

Then something unexpected happen.

A small smile formed on the great mechs face before he turned to the medic besides him.

 "I see no harm in allowing this young Autobot to make a quick search" he stated.

 "Optimus" Ratchet tried to argue.

 "With you managing the devices of course Ratchet" stated the mech before looking at Optimus again "Though it confuses me how a mech never seen before by my team or seen with the Decepticons knows about this planet's networks, as arbitrary as they are".

  Sentinel then grasped his shoulder "Yeah! Why are you asking to use this shoddy organic network? We need to get access to the commlinks"!

He shrugged him off "There's something I have to confirm Sentinel"

Looking at Ratchet, this Ratchet, as he made his way to the monitors, he spoke to him.

 "Please look up the name Issac Sumdac".

The medic grumbled before typing.

Optimus was taken a back at not seeing the familiar face of the kindly scientist and father of his friend.

Instead were a list of several Issac Sumdac's, some with a link to a site called Some Social?

"Could you type Sumdac Systems, located in Detroit"? pressed Optimus. 

This didn't yield any results ether, only for the word Sumdac to be auto corrected to solar panel systems or even solar systems.

Hilarious if this didn't make Optimus an unsettling feeling in his optics, only to turn into straight horror when he noticed something in the far corner of the screen.

 "Well,"? gruffed Ratchet "Anything else"?!

But Optimus didn't answer.

"Optimus were wasting time" complained Sentinel "What even is this for"?

Sentinel paused though when he didn't hear a response from his fellow Prime.

 "Optimus"? he heard the questioning voice from Ratchet.

It was then the mech lifted his servo and pointed to the screen "Sentinel, the year states that the Earth month of this year is 2011..."

 Sentinel frowned at him confused "Yeah and"?

"When we left the year was 2101...."

His fellow Prime looked startled before saying "What does that mean"?

Optimus shook his head "Nothing good"

 "WHAT"! demanded Sentinel 

Blackarachnia strolled smoothly towards the pair.

"Oh, just tell him Optimus" she said "Sentinel has always been slow on the uptake"

It was noticeable that the other bots had noticed how he was being addressed.

  "Did you just call him....Optimus"? said Arcee bewildered.

Taking a deep intake he said "I believe I owe you an explanation"

The other Optimus, the other Prime, stared at him quizzically.

 "Yes, I believe so"

He nodded before saying "For starters, my given designation is Optimus Prime" the mech said, cringing a bit at the shocked faces the other bots gave him, but continued "And unfortunately I believe were far mor lost than we thought"

"Okay explain this to me again"? asked Bulkhead, this worlds Bulkhead.

It was interesting how despite the obvious differences, the sheer size of the new Bulkhead and the act he was armed with blasters, that they could still share the same wide eyed befuddled look.

"Our group experienced...an accident with our Transwarp generator" Optimus explained once more ", and I believe the resulted blast must have taken us from where we are, our version of the planet earth, and took us here"

The group had moved away from the monitor station and had gathered into a far more spacious area. Sentinel and Blackarachnia kept to Optimus side but no closer than they had to be. Optimus could see from the corner of his optics how Sentinel would give him anxious looks that he always tried to hide behind a scowling brow while Blackarachnia stood tense and giving sneers to anyone looking her way.

Optimus knew that maybe he should have mentioned that he, Sentinel, and his team were engaged in battle with Blackarachnia and the destruction of the Transwarp device was due part to her. But seeing how hostile the other Autobots had become at the apparent Decepticon, he didn't want anymore of an antagonistic view towards her. 

He felt slightly relieved that Sentinel didn't try to "correct" the story...yet. 

 "Another version of Earth"? said the version of Ratchet, his voice thick with skepticism "You can't really expect us to believe that"?

"I understand that's hard to believe" said Optimus "But multiverse theory is something scientist have contemplated as something possible" 

  "In theory" stressed Ratchet "But the idea of other universes other than our own is still seen as a supposition at best"!

Blackarachnia gave a low chuckle at that "You know what they say, a theory is only a theory till its proven true"

The medic sent a glare at her but the femme simply gave a small wave.

Optimus coughed "In ether case, after the blast me and my....associates found ourselves in that cave and eventually those Decepticons"

"What rotten luck" the other Bulkhead chuckled dryly "Waking up in a Con mining operation, good thing we saved your metal at the nick of time"

Sentinel who had been oddly quite spoke up.

"Those Decepticons" he said "They were mining energon"?

 A lot of the bots gave Sentinel a look that meant how foolish they found his question, like it should have been obvious.

But it wasn't.

Back in the beginning when Optimus and his team found themselves stranded on earth he had ordered Teletron 1 with its limited range to try and locate potential pockets of Energon. Only to not find any, leaving Optimus to assume that this was simply a planet that didn't contain this specific mineral. It was disappointing but since the oil found on earth was edible, he and his team didn't run the risk of starving.

But it seemed once more, with the addition of Energon and the absence of Issac and even Sari Sumdac,  that this version of Earth was far different than Optimus own.

 "With the war between the Autobots and Decepticons still persisting, the scouting and collection of Energon is a vital thing" said this world version of him, Optimus Prime. 

Wait...war?

Optimus could feel his mouth part in shock as the moisture of his intake disappeared.

"You are currently at war with the Decepticons"? he breathed out

The other him looked at him, slowly blinking before saying "You are not"?

Optimus shook his head "Our war with the Decepticons ended a million years ago"

The bots around him look at Optimus, their blue optics wide at his words.

With a pause the mech who shared his name spoke again "Currently we have endured war with the Decepticons for many long centuries" he stated "As of now we find ourselves on Earth, locked in deadly and intense combat over control of this world's supply of energon, which as you now is the fuel and lifeblood of Autobots and Decepticons alike" he then added "Even with the departure of Megatron we are still on defense against the other faction, but there is hope we can someday see an end of this war"

 "Megatron departure"? asked Optimus "Are you saying that Megatron is no longer here"

His mirror version closed his eye before saying "At our recent battle there was heavy amount of devastation done, one which I am not sure Megatron had the strength to leave unscathed." 

 Megatron was gone.

Since the battle on the Orion and his consequent revival back in Detroit Megatron felt like this impossible force to fight.

He always felt it was a wonder he and his teams were able to thwart him and his soldiers over and over again.

But now he was gone...it almost seemed impossible.

 "So with Megatron gone, whose the one running the show" Blackarachnia asked.

The blue femme narrowed her optics before sighing and saying "My guess is Starscream"

Blackarachnia let out an unhappy breath "Seriously, that screechy seeker"?

The Bulkhead of this world gave a small chuckle but stopped when Arcee and Ratchet shot him a look.

"Megatrons gone, great" said Sentinel in almost a bored tone "But is there a way your planning to help send us back to our world"?

Optimus was glad Sentinel seemed to believe him but he couldn't help but be embarrassed at his fellow Primes demanding tone.

  "Well, were currently in use of our own groundbridge and its Transwarp modulator" said Ratchet in a deadpan tone "And we have no spares or extra materials for use, certainly not in a way that would be strong enough to supposedly open gateways to other dimensions"

"Do you have any ships then"? asked Sentinel "If you're not able to help us I'm sure someone on Cybertron does"

Optimus was ready to apologize for his fellow Primes demands but was cut off guard by the somber almost pained expressions on their faces.

"...unfortunately me and my compatriots don't have any ships for use" said the other Optimus with some hesitancy.

"Than how soon can you contact someone from Cybertron? Maybe the Autobot Science Division"?

There was more silence and Optimus was starting to get worried.

 "We cannot contact Cybertron" Ratchet stated solemnly.

"Why not"?! Sentinel demanded "With Megatron gone, aren't you planning on calling in for more support to clean up the rest of these Decepticons? The Elite Guard"?

None of the bots seemed to want to speak, almost hiding something they knew would be devastating to the strangers before them.

But Sentinel had little patience for their hesitancy.

"Hello? Why isn't anyone answering me"?

Finally, his counterpart said in a quiet voice laced with old grief "There is no way to contact Cybertron, unfortunately, Cybertron no longer exist"

LAST TIME ON RANGER ACADEMY - Sage has had enough of this education thing, especially when "who am I" and "is my dad gay" aren't part of the curriculum (food for thought - does Ranger Academy have a tuition fee? Will she be hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt for the rest of her life?). So we're ditching school and heading back home.

It's Ranger Academy #10!

= you know what, I'm just gonna come out and say it. Mathis should have been a Pink Ranger. Like I'll take their pink hair being inherited from Nadira but THEY HAVE A PINK BAG AS WELL. SAGE HAS A GREEN BAG. THEY ARE WAY MORE COLOR-CODED AS PINK.

= HOLY FUCK IT'S NUGGET

= oh hey Tula you're here too

= Like I already joked about, Tula basically ran to Sage's moon to be Rhianth's new daughter because she'd rather be at the planet she's almost died at than go home and face her actual family in the wake of her failure. She's just like me fr

= they are so rhahrhghrhrhhgghrhghgh. Something about single parents widowed by their Green Ranger loves and their daughters

= this is very Wes/Eric coded. You just know Rhianth tossed Zilan a note that said "get out of my school"

= I feel like this was pointed out somewhere else but this issue gives us the colors of Rhianth's friend group: Rhianth was Red, Zilan was Green, Nika was Yellow, blue-haired kid was Black, red-haired elf was Blue, and black-haired kid was Pink. Obviously the other members aren't as important as Rhianth, Zilan, and Nika; but it would be nice to know where they are nowadays

= cute little detail: baby Sage looking at a picture of the goat things she'll one day end up herding in the future. Sure hope nothing bad happens to her between now and then

= THAT THING IS A KILLING MACHINE

= so yeah this is fucked up but again, part of me can't help but wonder if there will be one last twist that the sabotage WAS someone else

= "Zilan, you're not a Blue Ranger!!!! You can't build machines!!!! Only Blue Rangers can be smart and solve problems with their tech!!! You're gonna mess up!!!!!"

= sorry that Rhianth had to be traumatized but this doomed yaoi is goddamn STELLAR

= also I think Sage gets that same staff weapon. I like that she has a piece of both her dads

= hey Mathis uhhhhhh I know no one's paying attention but....you good

(i saw #11's cover. I know they're not good.)

= tbh I like how Ranger Academy portrays Dark Specter. I like how he's kind of a demonic entity that no one can really figure out because his motivations are beyond our human understanding so we just have to make our best guess. It makes him a lot scarier and more unique to other PR villains. I feel like in the main series BOOM ended up trying too hard to prove that they were going to make Dark Specter into the threat he never was in the show that they took out a lot of his mystery and intrigue, so he just ended up like a generic supervillain

= as for why he's still here in the future when he died so long ago.....eh. I'm kinda forming a headcanon that he can't really die forever - he eventually reforms after a certain amount of time. That's why he looks so different here, because he's in an early stage of his reincarnation

= See? If Zilan was a Blue Ranger he wouldn't have died. Sucks for him

[f0point5]

sorry but Bianca is SUCH bad PR for f1 academy. now she is lying about being poor and getting exposed 😒

Yeah I saw that 😂 she does like a scandal

I mean…she’s a beautiful girl, she seems very “y/n” coded, I think she’ll land on her feet 🤷‍♀️

She was on my fyp for a while but she disappeared so idk how well her videos are doing. But I have to say, as someone who doesn’t follow f1 academy and has only been exposed to the things that make it into the mainstream…f1a seems to be its own PR misstep. I’m not sure Bianca’s doing much damage to it.

Clinical SAS programming A complete guide

Introduction

Clinical SAS programming is a specialized field that utilizes the SAS programming language to handle the vast and complex data generated in clinical trials. SAS, a statistical software package, is extensively employed by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for its robust data management, analysis, and reporting capabilities.

In terms of data management, SAS is used to clean, transform, and manage large datasets, ensuring they are organized and ready for analysis. This is a critical step in clinical trials, where large volumes of data are collected and need to be processed efficiently.

For analysis, SAS can perform a wide range of statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, regression analysis, survival analysis, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). These analyses are crucial in interpreting the data collected in clinical trials and drawing meaningful conclusions.

Finally, Clinical SAS programming is also used for reporting. It can generate various reports, including integrated summaries of safety and efficacy (ISS/ISE), clinical study reports (CSRs), and other regulatory documents. These reports are essential for communicating the results of clinical trials to regulatory authorities, medical professionals, and the public.

Crack the Code to Global Dreams: Master IELTS Reading & PTE in Jaipur with Prepworld Academy

Welcome to the Land of Test Triumphs

The journey to studying or settling abroad begins with a simple step—clearing your English proficiency test. But in a world where test scores open the doors to global dreams, that “simple step” can often feel like a daunting leap. Especially when it comes to challenging sections like IELTS Reading or mastering the dynamic format of the PTE exam. Fortunately, if you're in Jaipur, you're already one step ahead. With the expert guidance of Prepworld Academy, students and professionals alike are transforming test prep into test victories.

Jaipur isn't just a city of heritage and culture anymore—it’s becoming a vibrant hub for international education seekers. As the demand for IELTS and PTE coaching surges, Prepworld Academy stands out as a lighthouse, guiding aspirants through the fog of exam patterns, tricky reading passages, and performance anxiety.

The Reading Maze: Why IELTS Reading Needs More Than Just Skimming

Reading in English is one thing. Reading strategically for the IELTS exam is a different ballgame altogether. The IELTS Reading section is packed with dense academic texts, tricky paraphrasing, and time-bound pressure. Without consistent IELTS Reading Practice Tests in Jaipur, aspirants often struggle to improve their reading speed, comprehension, and accuracy.

At Prepworld Academy, we recognize that cracking the reading section isn't about knowing the language—it’s about mastering the test format. That’s why our IELTS Reading Practice Test in Jaipur is designed to mimic the real exam environment. From scanning techniques to keyword matching and critical inference, our module-based practice sets help you break the code efficiently. Moreover, our trainers provide personalized feedback after each test, helping you identify blind spots and improve them with laser precision.

But we don’t stop at just throwing mock tests your way. We train your mind to think like the test. With guided group discussions on each passage, vocabulary-building exercises, and analytical review sessions, your confidence soars even before you enter the examination hall. Transitioning from average to excellent becomes inevitable when you're practicing with the right tools and guidance.

Beyond Fluency: The Science behind Effective PTE Coaching in Jaipur

While IELTS tests traditional language skills, the Pearson Test of English (PTE) brings AI-driven assessments and real-world simulations into the equation. Many students feel overwhelmed by its format—combining listening, speaking, reading, and writing into integrated tasks. That’s exactly where Prepworld Academy excels, offering unmatched PTE Coaching in Jaipur with a blend of smart technology, seasoned trainers, and intuitive curriculum design.

At Prepworld, our coaching goes beyond the syllabus. We deep dive into the nuances of the algorithm that evaluates your performance. Students learn how even pronunciation errors, unnatural pauses, minor or disjointed thoughts can cost vital marks. Our AI-backed mock tests provide real-time scoring, which means students instantly understand where they stand—and what they need to improve.

Moreover, we integrate advanced strategies into each session—like chunking for fluency, shadowing for accent neutrality, and vocabulary banks categorized by context.

Why Jaipur? Why Now? The City as an Emerging Edu-Tech Epicenter

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the city itself. Jaipur, once known only for its majestic palaces and vibrant bazaars, is now emerging as a thriving center for higher education and competitive exam preparation. With the rising number of global aspirants, there has been an exponential demand for quality English language coaching, and Prepworld Academy has become synonymous with excellence.

Being centrally located in Jaipur, Prepworld Academy is easily accessible for students from every corner of the city.

Behind the Score: Secrets of Success with Prepworld’s Methodology

What makes Prepworld Academy different from the dozens of other coaching centers? It’s not just the curriculum—it’s the methodology. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every student walks in with a different set of strengths and weaknesses, and our diagnostic testing identifies those from day one.

For IELTS Reading Practice Test in Jaipur, we start by understanding your current reading strategies. Do you read line-by-line or scan for keywords? Do you fall for distractor options? Once we identify your style, we tailor a reading plan that gradually increases in complexity while targeting your specific challenges. Our time-management drills ensure you finish all 40 questions without the ticking clock hijacking your accuracy.

Similarly, our PTE Coaching in Jaipur uses simulated AI environments to replicate the test’s digital nature. From day one, students learn how to deliver natural yet clear speech, handle essay writing in under 20 minutes, and understand how integrated questions test multiple skills at once. Every weekend, full-length mock tests are analyzed in one-on-one review sessions with faculty who guide you not just to improve—but to excel.

Real Stories, Real Scores: Transformations at Prepworld

Behind every impressive score is a story—of struggle, strategy, and ultimate success. At Prepworld Academy, we’ve seen hundreds of students who once doubted themselves walk out with band 8s and 90s in hand. Let’s talk about Ayesha, a nervous reader who kept running out of time in the reading section. After 6 weeks of customized IELTS Reading Practice Tests in Jaipur, she not only improved her speed but also her comprehension and accuracy—ultimately scoring a band 8.5 in reading!

Then there’s Rajeev, a software engineer aiming for Canada. Despite his fluency, he struggled with the speaking and writing modules of the PTE exam. Through consistent PTE Coaching in Jaipur at Prepworld, he improved his oral fluency, sentence structure, and pronunciation. His final PTE score? A perfect 90.

Success isn’t accidental. It’s engineered through consistent effort, the right mentorship, and tools that actually work. And that’s exactly what Prepworld Academy brings to your table—a structured roadmap to success, backed by real results and student success stories that continue to inspire.

The Prepworld Edge: More Than Just Coaching

When you enroll at Prepworld Academy, you're not just signing up for classes. You’re stepping into a comprehensive ecosystem designed for your growth. We offer additional services like visa counseling, academic advising, scholarship guidance, and even assistance with Statement of Purpose (SOP) writing.

Our weekly strategy sessions focus on more than test prep—they teach life skills: time management, stress control, and performance psychology. In fact, our students often say that their confidence levels soar after spending just a few weeks with us. And confidence, as we know, is the ultimate performance enhancer.

Add to that our faculty of certified trainers, international alumni, and test experts who consistently update our curriculum based on the latest exam trends. Our resource bank includes updated material, digital portals, mobile practice apps, and video lessons you can revisit anytime. With all these tools, passing the test becomes a byproduct of a larger transformation—you don't just learn English, you live it.

Caylos: Bridging the Gap Between Franchisor and Franchisee Success in Sweden

Introduction: Why the Franchise Model Thrives in Sweden

Sweden’s stable economy, tech-savvy population, and pro-business policies make it fertile ground for franchising. Yet long-term success depends on one factor above all: the quality of the relationship between franchisor and franchisee. At Caylos, our mission is to cultivate that relationship so both parties flourish.

What Sets Caylos Apart as a Swedish Franchisor

Local Market Expertise

As a home-grown franchisor, Caylos understands Swedish consumer behaviour, labour regulations, and tax structures in depth. This localisation gives franchisees a critical advantage over foreign concepts that need adaptation.

Scandinavian Brand Aesthetics

Caylos blends minimalist Nordic design with functional layouts—an approach Swedish shoppers instantly recognise and trust.

Sustainability at the Core

From renewable-energy build-outs to zero-waste packaging, sustainability is embedded in every Caylos location. That commitment resonates with Sweden’s eco-conscious audience and strengthens the brand for both franchisor and franchisee.

Step-by-Step Guide: Becoming a Caylos Franchisee in Sweden

Discovery Call – Meet with Caylos’ franchisor team to explore cultural fit and territory availability.

Royalty: 6 % of gross sales

Marketing Fund: 2 % of gross sales

Average Payback Period: 24–30 months (based on 2022–2024 franchisee data)

Brand Protection: Continuous R&D to keep the concept fresh and competitive.

Compliance Support: Guidance on Swedish labour laws, environmental regulations, and GDPR.

Innovation Pipeline: New product launches every quarter to boost average transaction value.

Quality Audits: Quarterly visits to ensure standards—supportive, not punitive, fostering mutual growth.

Operational Excellence: Adhere to SOPs for product quality, hygiene, and customer service.

Local Marketing Engagement: Execute community outreach—events, collaborations, and influencer tie-ups.

Timely Reporting: Submit weekly sales and inventory data for benchmarking.

Staff Development: Invest in continuous training; Sweden’s service culture prizes knowledgeable teams.

Case Study: Malmö Franchisee Breaks Revenue Records

Partnered with local eco-markets for cross-promotions.

Hired multilingual staff to serve the city’s diverse demographic. Results

17 % higher average basket size than system average.

“The franchisor support was invaluable,” Anna notes. “Caylos’ dashboards helped me optimise staffing during Lund University term times and summer tourism peaks.”

AI-Driven Demand Forecasting – Cuts wastage by up to 12 %.

Loyalty App – Increases repeat visits; shared database benefits every franchisee while giving the franchisor macro insights.

Common Questions Prospective Franchisees Ask

Can I own multiple units?Yes, multi-unit opportunities exist after 12 months of solid performance.

What if my city is already taken?New territories open each quarter; join the waiting list or consider neighbouring Swedish cities.

Is financing available?Caylos partners with Swedish banks offering franchise loans up to 60 % of project cost.

Conclusion: Your Next Step Toward Franchise SuccessIn Sweden’s competitive retail landscape, partnering with a proven franchisor like Caylos dramatically reduces risk while offering scalable rewards.
