[Download Full Document (PDF)] The document presents The Spiral of Syntony, a comprehensive framework for understanding healing and regeneration across various systems, including biological, emotional, and energetic dimensions. It posits that healing follows a seven-phase spiral of coherence: Sensing, Polarization, Structuring, Signaling, Meaning-Making, Action, and Feedback. This model…

Redraw of Clarence Batchelor’s 1937 anti-war cartoon… as Transformers propergander

[stars-obsession-pit]

During that early period of Gotham’s time as No Man’s Land where Batman was nowhere to be found, many hoped desperately for his return. For most, it was the normal sort of desperation engendered in everyone trapped in the collapsing city.

But for others, that desperation went much deeper. First into superstition, then gradually growing into a zealous, cult-like fervor.

Maybe if they sacrificed something valuable enough, their shadowy protector would return and save them.

And as for what that sacrifice would be, it was obvious.

For even in No Man’s Land, what is more valuable than a human life?

That Batman is just the human Bruce Wayne is immaterial. To the Infinite Realms, belief and reality are oft interchangable

And that much faith, funneled through a sacrificed soul, was more than enough to bear fruit.

Unseen by anyone down below, the Spirit of the Bat coalesced from the shadows of Gotham to begin their ceaseless hunt.

And while I'm posting skins, I may as well share this Princess skin I made a little over a year ago. She's a bit rough around the edges but I'm still pretty proud of her!

She's mainly modelled after Chapter 1 Princess, hence her enormous, beautiful yet uncanny eyes. I remember spending a lot of time trying to capture as much detail from the original art as possible.

In-game there's very little colour contrast between her skin, hair, eyes, dress, etc. since there's the dark pencil linework to separate them, but there aren't many pixels to work with on a mc skin, so making each element visually distinct was a challenge. I used darker pixels along the edges of the dress and hair to separate them from her skin and to vaguely imitate the original pencil sketch style.

Sammie rebuilding the guitar :-)

The guitar that he’s shown with since the opening scene, the one he challenges his dad for, the one that came from his cousins, came from Charlie Patton, came from his uncle, the one he summons spirits with, and that as they rush up the stairs to escape, Delta Slim hands it off to him, as if a reminder of what’s important. The guitar everyone wants him to keep a hold of, that he finally breaks to save his life.

And though it’s just a neck and some strings, and his older cousin tells him to bury the damn thing, Sammie holds onto it. Has it rebuilt. Carries it with him for the rest of his life.

I love the transfluid donations thing the tf fandom has lol

Specifically, I like to imagine a pregnant bot (COUGH COUGH STARSCREAM COUGH) who needs donations keeps going to the biggest mechs around to get his donations under the guise of 'I need to make sure this sparkling is as strong as possible' but in reality they just want to get railed by these huge studs around them yfm

Just spent a very enjoyable half hour exploring your color guardians universe! How much flexibility is there in their color palettes? Like could a blue end up leaning more teal or indigo, or darker or lighter shades? Or are they pretty much locked in on the palettes you've given them so far? Also has Anita ever accidentally crossed paths with her family since coming back from the timestream and how did that go? (Angsty, I assume.)

wait firstly, Anita did track down her family upon returning and she does gently stalk them. Generally she avoids them cuz it hurts too much to think about. She doesn't have plans to reveal herself to them until she knows the Colorless are completely gone.

secondly

the colors can absolutely go darker and lighter, but the hues don't vary all that much from what you've seen. This is true for all the Color Guardians. They can't really combine colors, based purely off how they were created. However they can wear each other's colors as accents!

-some examples! Red has healing abilities, and if an injury is severe enough Red can leave a healing star which functions like a magic bandaid

-Orange can force people to tell the truth and whenever she does so it usually looks like the affected is wearing orange makeup

-Pink has mind controlling abilities, but can embue this into objects however she sees fit

Talk about the animation quality of a show all y’all want, m’kay, but personally, if the voice acting ain’t good, I can’t get immersed.

And these passionate gentlemen (and more), thanks to Wally Burr’s direction, goddamn SERVED.

I’m convinced the amount of effort they put into voicing their characters is (a good chunk of) the reason(s) why Transformers got so popular and beloved in the first place, and why the franchise remains as popular and beloved even 40 years down the line.

Absolute legends.

Something something about the cursed mummy working at a rodeo and the connection to lassos and wrangling bulls and foreshadowing. Something something about buck wearing a moustache when he dresses up as billy boils which connects things to Eddie.

How rodeos are connected to Texas in the general psyche. The idea that Eddie needs to go and wrangle with his bull in the next episode - Helena.

That she has been constantly trying to Buck him off but he needs to hold on in order to break the curse she has been on his life - the play on Buck being a massive support to Eddie - that gives him the strength to stay on and win the fight and pen the bull.

That he needs to break free of that curse in order to transform into his true self and how the werewolf is a representation of that happening and also a foreshadowing for the shaving off of the stache

Crack shipping in Once upon a time:

June x Unicron

Hear me out, this crack pairing has the potential of becoming dramatic, like a Mexican soap opera or like one of those Greek mythology’s, since there would be conflict between a god and a demi-god so let’s get cooking:

In various mythologies, not just Greek, there are warnings that catching the attention of a god is considered bad luck, since Gods become extremely possessive on the objects or people they consider as theirs and will cause calamities on the interlopers or to the people they’re possessive of. June is basically his emotional support human and the envoy he depends on the most (95% of the time). In this case, Unicron spends most of his time with her and June’s presence helps eases his mind, whether their relationship is platonic or romantic, it doesn’t matter since Unicron would consider June his.

On the other hand, Unicron gave June a purpose to continue living along new “abilities” that would help her(June has become a leader/pillar of support to other neo-humans. She wouldn’t bring herself to join Jack in the afterlife since so many people depend on her). With June’s new purpose in mind and burden, Unicron ends up becoming her pillar of support from better or worse. In addition, as an envoy, she’s connected to Unicron’s anti-spark, so any emotions she feels will be transferred and vice versa.

Those emotions are going to flare when two problems (Megatron and Optimus) arrive on their doorstep.

June has plenty of reasons to despise Megatron with her entire being (I.e. destroying her life). Unicron would definitely feel and probably be affected by it.

When Megatron arrives on Earth

Unicron: *looks concerned* June, do you want me to avenge your son? I have a lightening bolt with his name on it.

June: *Sees Javier clinging to Megatron’s leg* Not yet.

Unicron: How about we make him suffer in the meantime 😈

June: … I’m listening.

In the show I wasn’t sure if June had a crush on Optimus or if it was just admiration, but if she did those feelings she once had would turn into a resentment even worse than the hate she feels for Megatron. After all the worse feeling of betrayal never comes from an enemy, but from a person you admired since you never saw it coming. The juicy drama will start once Optimus arrives on Earth. June’s resentment for Optimus would only amplify Unicron’s distaste for him.

Meanwhile, Unicron originally didn’t hate Optimus as much as Megatron. Optimus only crime at the time was being a Prime, while Megatron committed a worse crime, stealing *HIS* blood. After the cyberforming of Earth, those feelings are going to switch.

For you see, Unicron would never share anything with anyone, even with Primus, despite his brother being his equal. He would especially never share if it was with a Prime, someone he considered a lesser. So how dare this puny Prime tries to take something that doesn’t belong to him (June’s attention, thoughts, and emotions). Optimus accomplished something no other Primes have achieved, becoming someone he wants nothing more to destroy even more than his brother.

*Unicron sensing Optimus on Earth*

Immediately sends lightning, snowstorms, a hurricane, and an earthquake for good measure to make sure he’s dead in that area of the world away from civilization.

June: *Sensing immense hate and doesn’t know what going on* Unicron, is something wrong? 😰

Unicron: Nothing’s wrong, don’t worry about it 😇

I love this so much you have no idea. I’ve been struggling with figuring out where to pick up this universe, and you have handed me genius on a silver platter. My brain is swooning.

The character study I could do with this thing! Not just Unicron, but for Optimus, oh my word.

June would definitely be a "favorite" Envoy of Unicron's, even if she isn't the strongest or particularly chaotic. Maybe she reminds him of Primus before they permanently separated and became enemies. Perhaps it's simply that her mind does contain some familiar memories to latch on to. Or maybe June does have a secret dark side that's more in line with Unicron's own spark than anyone might suspect.

Regardless that's his human now.

I think as their relationship develops, it will eventually exist in this weird limbo/cross between platonic and romantic. They'd never actually enter into a romantic entanglement, not on purpose, but there is something so intimate about sharing a mind (even partially) that certain things naturally transfer over.

Sharing each other's emotions, passing on sensations of contentment, calm, or rage to convey their own feelings or influence the others'. That in itself is so similar to a conjux sparkbond that a few more perspective individuals do mistake June as Unicron's Bride.

June doesn't particularly care. If the title that she's faintly aware of makes others more inclined to listen or pay attention to her demands, she is all for it. No confirmation nor denial. She has bigger issues to deal with.

Unicron is surprisingly pleased. There's an acknowledgment of him in the rumor. That June is his. She is not free for the taking or collection of others. Semantics mean nothing.

Possessive behavior, obviously, Unicron has issues with any Prime entering into June's space (especially one that brings emotional baggage like Optimus). However, June also finds herself having a strange level of disgust and revulsion to any Cybertronain that dabbles with Dark Energon. Megatron and Starscream are no exception.

There is something so grating about it to her. Disgraceful how Unicron is being used like nothing more than an object. She comes down harder on non-earthen users. Those not born, who have not been given that connection by circumstances beyond them but took it for themselves.

There's a distinction between the two. And if her soul sings alongside the anti-spark, a wellspring of fondness and belonging for those who have been crafted into this bloodline... well, only Unicron will know.

And he does know.

Sharing a dreamscape is a new thing. It should be offputting for both, so used to silence and standing alone, for a new consciousness to manifest within a place so private. And yet...

To touch is a new sensation, even in the first days, when his body hadn't been shut down, disconnected from him, and decaying before it was reformed into the Earth, Unicron had never felt the need or experienced something so simple. Space was a wide, vast place. His time was spent exploring, consuming, and reaching out to interact with destructive purpose. Affection is as foreign as touch is, but in the shadow of dreams, June provides both. A pat on the shoulder. Leaning into his frame. Tracing the pieces of his servos. It's innocent. Mindless.

He finds he doesn't mind it.

It's nice to have a confidant. Someone who can explain what these.... egh, feelings are when concerning Earth's spawn. An anchor in a new influx of sensations and emotions. Unicron has never been parental. Has never been confronted with life raw, unfiltered, and screaming at him. June has. As a mother with a child. As a nurse in the ER. As a leader of her people. That familiarity, what was at first a way to silence the storm of voices, becomes a translator of sorts.

June is used to a small world, a life made up of her and her son, but is not used to the concept of war. She knows of it. She can recognize violence, but she's never had to threaten it and mean it. She's spent her life preserving the welfare of others, and now she's doing the opposite. Ruining. Destroying. Killing. Not just one person but an entire civilization is marked as the enemy. It may not be all-encompassing; it may be entirely justified, but a part of her, the healer in her, is just as mournful at her part in this as she is over the kids' fate. Unicron is not a stranger to death. He is not innocent of the concept of wrath. To unmaking and betrayal and cruelty.

Unicron is not a good person. Just as June draws him out into a new side of being, hurting remade into possessive-care, so too does Unicron's apathetic dismantling draw out her protective-wrath.

They are not family. Not lovers. Not friends. Not master nor apprentice. Really, if asked to define their relationship, the answer would depend on which side is asked and what day the question is voiced. For now, they just are. Drawn together by forces beyond comprehension, a moon in a sea of asteroids all circling the same planet. June is favored, elevated, and some might call it love. Unicron is trusted, humored, indulged, and listened to as if they were equals.

June Darby is still mortal, different through that lifespan may be, and even if Unicron grows attached to the concept of having a companion, if he chooses others to replace that void or disappears into the shadows of Earth's core, there will always be a space within his mind reserved for her presence. Empty or not.

They have become entwined, he is one of two again, and Unicron would rather devour her than let her go.
