#engine knocking

[whats-in-a-sentence]

High compression ratios, however, lead to engine knocking,⁶ which needs to be overcome in one of two ways.

⁶ Knocking is a phenomenon in which pre-ignition occurs in the cylinder leading to noisy and potentially damaging engine operation. Besides engine design, it also depends on the nature of the fuel.

leo valdez with a breeding kink… i’d literally give that man anything he wants 😫

OHHHHHH FUCK ME. I WANNA KISS YOU ON BOTH CHEEKS FOR THIS ONE. Leo does not realize he has a breeding kink until it hits him like a fucking semitruck. you're with some family and friends at a little get together, and you end up looking after a baby cousin to give their parents a break. you have the kiddo on your lap while you chat with your friend, and when Leo gets back with drinks he nearly drops them. Boom. Light switch on, breeding kink in full force. He doesn't even realize what's happening, not quite yet, but all he knows is that it's going to take every ounce of self control he has to wait until the party's over. after a physically painful eternity that he suspects is his eternal punishment from the gods worse than pushing a boulder or being strapped to a boulder or holding up a planet sized boulder (it's maybe an hour and a half max) you're finally on your way home. He nearly pulls an irish goodbye just to get his beautiful beautiful hands on you sooner, and Leo is NOT the type to leave without at least a dozen hugs and cheek kisses and leftovers and plans to meet up next time, so you know something must be going on with him. the only reason he doesn't fuck you in the car (and he is this fucking close) is because he knows that he wants to take his time with you. Also, he can get pretty vocal. Also so can you. (anyone would with him jfc) so he keeps his hand on your thigh while he drives. He rubs it, inches it up higher and higher, higher than he ever has outside the bedroom until he's practically fingering you in the passenger seat. Honestly you wouldn't complain if he did. The sound of your flustered, surprised giggle when he pick you up and carries you into your house over his shoulder, all unga bunga like something primal has woken up inside him. And it has. When he lays you down on your bed which is still descheveled from the fun you'd had that morning, when he kisses you like he's hungry and strips you down like he's unwrapping a christmas present, neither of you know what's gotten into him yet. But he knows one thing for damn sure.

There's no way in hell he's pulling out tonight. Or ever again, if he's being honest.

So really, you'll both find out what's gotten into him (and you) in about nine months

...um, Captain?

It's... Well, not morning, since we're in space, but you should've gotten a full night's worth of sleep by now, so maybe you're up.

When I came to, I was holding this note from... that other 'me' that you talked about, I guess? So I'm really hoping you were right about trusting him, and that this wasn't his way of hiding something terrible in there.

There isn't enough knockout fanfic and it should be a crime😤

But is it alright to request a knockout x GN reader who is a mech mechanic? Or just a mechanic in general. And is very enthusiastic about discovering that alien robots exist and would love to explore knockout's exterior and interior ;)

This bad boy has been cooking up for a while, I've lost far too much sleep writing this, but I just had to finish something wholesome and funny for once. The mechanic part isn't mentioned a lot in the fic, but rest assured, they learn about him first hand.

Will also mention this valveplug right here that saved my life while trying to figure out how to describe Cybertronian... inner workings.

Brilliant point moot. I hate how a lot men treated women on the dsmp, you had sapnap and jack making your mom jokes and constantly going on about being a man and saying 'man up' especially in the petwars, all of jacks misogyny in general, tommys misogyny being excused because he was a kid especially how he treated alyssa and niki. I saw someone other day complaining that more men should treat women like men more often as in its unfair that women are excluded from a lot of the shipping jokes and roasting jokes but I mean there's a reason why they avoid it now because it often falls into misogynistic territory. If a man insults another man for being bad at pvp and calls him a bitch, its fine but if he does that to a woman, due to the history of how women are treated it then it is sexist. Same goes for if a man jokingly flirted with a woman on an smp the same joke way men do gay rp with each other. Women do get excluded from a lot of jokes but it can't be fixed until men change this. Until then, many women ccs are going to feel uncomfortable being who they are. I know that's was one of the reasons why I transitioned, just so i could be respected.

Yeah… there is a lot of misogyny in the gaming community and the dsmp is no different. And while I would agree to some extent that being more inclusive does involve treating people like everyone else. (Like I think you can write a superhero and their personality doesn’t have to be so focused on being a woman. You can take Tony Stark’s character and make it a girl, like stop making all the girl characters so freaking dull, why can’t they be quippy too :/…)

However, I will also say, that being inclusive means treating people differently too. Because we are different both physically but also historically and societally. A male gamer doesn’t need to be good looking to be successful and yet, there is definitely a standard of beauty for woman. The expectations from society are different and that’s just how it is, a reality that I hope in the future can change but we aren’t there yet. And historically women have been excluded from video games, dnd, Lego, and STEM fields... etc. (when I was growing up they didn’t even have pink Lego) In media, even if we are included it’s like we are either girly or nerdy, girly or more sporty and masculine, as if a woman can’t be feminine and those other things. Ridiculous. All that to say, unfortunately there is a difference and so you can’t treat a woman like a boy and vice versa because of history, because of society, but also because we are literally different.

So, there are jokes and roasts that are not okay and comments made between men that are not okay to say to women. And part of this is the history involved. Making fun of a guy’s skill might be funny but it’s less funny for a girl as we’ve been historically made fun of for that and seen as inferior. But then again, there are probably boys who feel insecure about those comments too, perhaps because they’ve been made fun of in the past. That’s just how it is. Not all jokes are funny or okay in different settings or to different people. Clearly, Dream and his friends have fun making gay jokes and such, but there are plenty of guys that would not be okay with that. It’s not only a gender thing that make things appropriate or not. And I’d say, that if you are making jokes that could be seen as sexist if said to a woman then maybe you shouldn’t be saying those jokes. If you’re making penis jokes, sex jokes, roasts or your mommas jokes that’s aren’t appropriate in front of or with women, maybe you shouldn’t be saying them at all…

Humor doesn’t have to be exclusive. I think Techno is a good example of this, I don’t particularly remember him making any jokes that weren’t inclusive, or made me uncomfortable like some of the other dsmp members. And even if he called a girl a “nerd” in skybattle or something as she fell to her death, I don’t think people would see it as sexist because the way he says it, what is said, and the context is important.

Furthermore, I don’t think the problem is men not including women in jokes because they are afraid they’ll be seen as sexist or would by nature be sexist, the problem is the lack of respect. It’s the talking over women, not including them in lore, not listening to them, being demeaning or pushing stereotypes onto them. That’s what needs to change. That in addition to the weird remarks about women was the problem. Tommy not caring or listening to Alyssa as she tried to call out how Tommy stole her diamonds, instead calling her the “ghost in his head”. Tommy joining Sapnap’s side just to kill a woman. Like over and over women are used as like a bit - “who is your favorite woman” - is seen as funny and yet if someone asked- “who’s your favorite man?” It’d just be dumb… the way being a woman or highlighting women even if not in a negative is still kinda sexist. It’s the highlight of the gender that makes it weird, not - “just killed Dream, feelin’ good” but “just killed a woman, feelin’ good.” If it was “just killed Puffy, feelin’ good” it’d be fine but that’s not what’s said. You don’t have to not do jokes because of someone being a woman but them being a woman should not be the joke.

Then there’s like the fact that it was noticeable to many people how Techno would always make space and be quiet when Niki talked, so she was heard. That shouldn’t be a big deal or noticeable and yet, it was because so many other server members would just talk over her. A lot of people didn’t notice or make a big deal that Niki burned down the L’mantree. Her very important lore was glossed over. Niki despite being a member of the Syndicate and the bad ass she is in her netherite armor and stuff is often reduced to the cute little baker who brings over cookies and is just so sweet. And Puffy despite her gear and importance in taking down the Egg is reduced to Tommy’s motherly figure and Dream’s ex-mom. Like are we forgetting these girls also fought in wars? And yet, their characters are reduced so far to such female stereotypes…

Anyways…. I could probably ramble about this for awhile so I’ll leave it there for now before I get fully derailed lol. And if this sounded agressive it was not intentional and not toward you, but just my frustration with this in general…
