I really love the thought that cyberformed humans still have human biological hangups, so-

Imagine the Autobots panicking over the sparklings "excessive" levels of sleep because humans run on a far shorter time shift (aka 24-hour days). The kids are cranky as hell because they need their Earth daily naps, but the Autobots are poking them awake since the 'bots are still running on Cybertronian time.

No one is surprised by Miko or even Raf biting hands, but it gets to the point where the sparklings start hiding for uninterrupted naptime in tight, dark spaces where 'bots can't easily reach. Like inside a seal vent shaft, behind the shelves of berths, and a really deep, well-dug hole under the main computer.

Unfortunately, that freaks out the Autobots further since that behavior is seen as a bitlet stress response. Made worse since the kids are Seekers or close to it as Miko is a Seeker sparkling, Jack is capable of flight, and there's a theory that modern Seekers are descendants of Predacons. Basically, Seekerkin sparklings have innate drivers to stay with their flocks and units, to consistently touch their guardians/parental bonds, so for the kids to ignore the Autobots can be taken as a major sign of abuse or something really wrong as Seekerkin are a very social frame-types.

Cue Agent Fowler to the rescue as he has to use plain English to explain that the kids just want uninterrupted naps because, well, they're babies. It's good for them. A necessity. No one wants to be sleep-deprived.

Because Agent Fowler has a gut feeling that if June Darby gets a word about this, then she'll raise hell and give Ratchet so much grief as the medic is taking it so personally. She'll move in and become a domestic menace.

I saw a post on here that said the fandom should stop giving Logan animal traits because that's dehumanizing. Hate to break it you, buddy, but Logan is not human. He's a feral mutant. He's his own species. Yes he is civilized and yes he is humanoid and can have children with humans, but he is not human. He has claws, little fangs, keen senses and has a healing factor. He growls, he runs on all fours and sniffs and spits. Logans whole thing is being both man and animal and his fight with both these sides within himself. And most importantly, please never forget, he is not real. He is a fictional character created by Len Wein and John Romita and owned by Marvel. It's comics, it's animated shows, it's movies but it's not real! Being played by Hugh Jackman makes him tangible but still not real! I get feeling for a character, but please do not project real human issues onto a fictional character, because that is dehumanizing!

Every time I see that viral “costuming quality has decreased over the years” post I get so angry because a) the comparisons they use are not at all equal in terms of genre and what goals the costumes and the films/tv have, and b) shitting on Rings of Power costumes just because you don’t personally like them and don’t understand costume design or construction is not a valid critique.

I will keep screaming from the rooftops, as a professional costumer and as someone who knows folks who worked directly on the costumes, the Rings of Power costume team is PHENOMENAL. These costumes up close are works of art; they have teams of incredibly skilled artisans doing immaculate and extremely thought-out work and just because they don’t look like the PJ films (and serve a different purpose a lot of the time!!) does not mean they are a “downgrade”.

I'll be real. The Dunmeshi fandom has a TERF problem.

Or at the very least, it has a problem of good-intentioned people reblogging terf rhetoric without giving it much thought.

Now, someone posting 'It's a shame how mlm content is more prevalent than wlw content in fandom, and that female characters keep getting overshadowed by male characters, and we need to analyze our internalized biases against women when engaging with fiction' is completely a-ok! I completely agree with this sentiment! However, stuff like 'mlm shippers only care about porn and don't even bother to analyse the characters they ship, meanwhile they overlook wlw ships with way more nuance, character, and depth' is terf shit! I'm sorry! We need to be able to spot 'men are inherently more sexual and disgusting than us pure women' out in the wild!

And no, I'm not just making people up to get mad at. There's a reason the people posting about the 'disgusting people sexualizing the female characters' have reccomended blogs that look like this.

my cody theory for tbb s3

the legendary "boba fett" is actually like twenty different clones (including the real Boba). anyone at risk of being recognized (usually officers/arcs) can go into bounty hunting as "boba fett". it soon becomes the clone equivalent of like john doe. they share a bounty guild account (bc it uses biometric id and they're close enough to register as the same person).

"boba fett" soon develops a reputation for getting missions done 1) incredibly well and 2) incredibly fast. the fast part is because there are at least eight people all doing different bounties at any given time. the well part is because "boba fett" is an informal collective of escaped clones of particular distinction in battle.

by the time the real Boba is an adult, the "boba fett" clones have built up his bounty hunter credit score so much that he can pretty much take whatever job he wants for max rates.

oct 1 - aqua ring

man why does the aqua ring gotta look like… that.

… i am trying something new this october, which is to just.. focus on one au. which isn’t to say every piece will be in the same au, but just that instead of agonizing over prompts, i can just keep developing one idea.

i am also doing a new au. i’m too invested in most of the others to do rushed drawtober pieces for them 🤣

so here we goooooooooooo.

see the tags if you want to know vaguely where this is going. we’ll talk more about it later.

(btw, i am DEFINITELY not doing comics every day all month. i am not doing comics every piece nor am i doing them every day. i mean… let’s be real, it’s me, we’re doing good if you get like…. 4 pieces out of me in october.)

I've sometimes seen people who are in the conversion process wondering, "wouldn't it better if I was just an ally?" and it's something I've felt before, too, until I realized that what I was doing was conflating a sense of belonging with allyship in a way that can be almost disingenuous.

I know for myself personally, I don't feel a sense of belonging when I ally myself with a group of people. As a man, I don't feel I belong with women simply because I ally myself with them. I have always considered myself someone who allied themself with jews, but there was something deeper about this allyship. I felt belonging in ways I never did with other groups I allied with. It was always an inexplicable, unshakable feeling of belonging that told me my allyship was rooted in something deeper than just conviction.

I can only speak for myself, but I found that I continuously questioned my motives for conversion to the point where I was preventing myself from doing anything. I've realized that were I to remain an ally, I would not feel fulfilled in life because my connection to judaism runs too deeply, and it always has.
