I intentionally got HTTYD books but—
WAIT A MINUTE Shark Wars is That book series that I didn’t have the chance to borrow at the library and never saw again—
Isn’t fate artistic?
Okay I will read Shark Wars, but can I make a bargain with you? I will read Shark Wars and you will read SWARM by Simon Cheshire, please please please I have no one else in this fandom— it’s a sci-fi(?) children’s series about robotic bugs/AI agents that work for the MI5. It will never be completed, sadly, but the four books that have been written are exciting, the writing has a movie-like quality to it, and the bug AIs are absolutely adorable—
Or if you dislike bugs, maybe Quintaglio Ascension by Robert J Sawyer? This is a sci-fi trilogy about a society of Nanotyrannus living on the moon of a gas giant. The overall story parallels some of humans’ scientific developments, and there is Speculative Evolution involved. The plot and occasionally worldbuilding gets questionable at times, but is generally okay and has interesting characters.
Hey hey! I just finished a ridiculously complicated and long UQuiz about fandoms! Please take it! :D
I put my heart and soul into this PLEASE play it!! I like sharing stuff I like, it's fun I promise. <3
Edit: This is kinda aimed a little at whump enjoyers btw, not entirely but a decent bit. Warning for swearing, possible spoilers for any/all included fandoms, vaguely mentioned drug use in one answer to one question, and violence. (Fictional.)
Included fandoms: Shark Wars, Warrior Cats, Pokemon Adventures, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Adventure, Hetalia, Percy Jackson, Gameknight999, Scratchcraft, the Pokemon Anime (with Ash as the protagonist), How to Train Your Dragon (books), How to Train Your Dragon (movies and shows), Spiderwicks Chronicles, and The Monkees.
Look under the cut for the "awnsers" to each question (after taking the quiz) if you want some context. XD This took me forever! (Warning, doing this will make this post very long.)
1. When your story gets serious, what do you want from it? 1. Pokemon DPA: A deeper meaning that gets the author in WAY over their head. 2. Warrior Cats: A deeper meaning that could be taken the exact wrong way if you so chose to. 3. Gameknight999: A deeper meaning that was probably not intentional. 4. Shark Wars: A deeper meaning that is mentioned explicitly once or twice and then never added to again. 5. Pokespe: A deeper meaning that needs a little thinking to make any god damn sense at all. 6. Pokeani: A deeper meaning that only seems to show up in half-canon material. 7. Spiderwicks: A deeper meaning that doesn't seem to have any actual bearings in reality. 8. HTTYD Books: A deeper meaning that CATCHES YOU OFF GAURD. LIKE, FUCK DUDE- 9. Scratchcraft: A deeper meaning that is pretty obvious if you ignore the fact that it doesn't actually exist. 10. Hetalia: A deeper meaning that is questionable at best. 11. Percy Jackson: A deeper meaning that hits really hard when you start growing up. 12. HTTYD movies: A deeper meaning that was better done somewhere else but I still cried. 13. The Monkees: A deeper meaning that just barely made it past the censors, and it as true to the real world as it could ever aim to be.
2. What do you want out of a protagonist? 1. Pokemon DPA: Overpowered. Also bites people on the ass. 2. Warrior Cats: I like to switch things up as the media progresses. :3 3.

Pokespe: I like to switch things up as the media progresses. >:) 6. Pokeani: I can't tell if he's aroace or gay God Bless America. 7. Spiderwicks: I don't care.

3. What kind of antagonist really gets you going? 1. Pokemon DPA: Manipulators. 2. Warrior Cats: Just a little guy. :3 they kill people Just a little guy- 3. Gameknight999: At least a little edgy, preferably have motivations that don't make any sense. 4. Shark Wars: Kinda horny for no reason. lowkey 5. Pokespe: Utterly insane most of the time. 6. Pokeani: Idiots and/or common criminals. 7. Spiderwicks: Big scary beasts are good! Smart ones too! 8. HTTYD Books: Tumblr sexyman in a not-not-very-hot way. 9. Scratchcraft: Lowkey I could probably beat them up. 10. Hetalia: It's kinda weird to think of anyone as an antagonist. :( 11. Percy Jackson: Yeah. This guy would kill me and laugh about it. 12. HTTYD movies: Animal poachers are my favorite! 13. The Monkees: Is an antagonist really necessary? (Or is it the producer… hmm)
4. Pick a creature please! 1. Pokemon DPA: EXTREMLY overpowered magic penguin. 2. Warrior Cats: Cat who is cat-racist 3. Gameknight999: Minecraft wolf! 4. Shark Wars: Shark who is shark-racist 5.

5. Pick an epic quote from one of the pieces of media in question. 1. Pokemon DPA: "I'm fine with being stupid!" 2. Warrior Cats: "Kill me. Kill me and live with the memory. Then tell the stars that you won." 3. Gameknight999: “You can only do what you believe you can do. I can do this,” 4. Shark Wars: “Let’s get you back where you belong before you catch your death.” 5. Pokespe: “If you can only achieve a dream by being deceitful, using others, and crushing their own hopes, that’s not called a dream, it’s called an ambition.” 6. Pokeani: "I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." 7. Spiderwicks: "We call them 'fairy tales' for a reason, you know. They're not real." 8. HTTYD Books: “We're all snatching precious moments from the peaceful jaws of time.” 9.

But nobody’s tone deaf, and if you love music, then you can play music."
6. How much violence are you feeling like looking at? 1. Pokemon DPA: The real fear happens when the comic relief finally stops. 2. Warrior Cats: Somehow the worst part is that hardly anyone seems to notice something is wrong. 3. Gameknight999: It's a game, but only to half of the participants in the conflict. 4. Shark Wars: Oh, that's torture and mass killings graphically detailed in a children's book, okay. 5. Pokespe: The blood was censored, but somehow you know it's there. 6. Pokeani: It's all fun and games until somebody randomly drops dead. 7. Spiderwicks: Everything is totally fine mom! My sister DIDN'T just get kidnapped by the fae! I promise! 8. HTTYD Books: Ultimately, it's never the violence that truly hurts, but the fact that you know it will happen again and again, and all you can do is try and make things marginally better while you are still here, crawling through the mud. 9. Scratchcraft: You get to choose how real any of this is. 10. Hetalia: A comedy with an underlying truth of extreme violence and war and the realization that none of these people can be friends forever. 11. Percy Jackson: Somehow we always seem to push through. ̶u̶n̶t̶i̶l̶ ̶w̶e̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶y̶m̶o̶r̶e̶ 12. HTTYD movies: We will always keep fighting! (But there comes a time that sometimes fighting the good fight is not actually the good fight anymore.) 13. The Monkees: It entirely depends if we're talking about slapstick comedy or the real deal here. (If you look too deep you'll find both.)

Warrior Cats: This fandom feels like being surrounded by a pack of wolves! thumbs down 3. Gameknight999: I have never been in a worse fandom. Seriously. Imagine being in a fandom of twelve yearolds on WATTAPAD that then transitions to DISCORD. This is what Hell feels like. (And I'm Catholic.) /pos I luv you guys but STILL 4. Shark Wars: Literally no other person in the whole world is perfect for me. :3 (PLEASE JOIN ME. PLEASE. HELP!) 5. Pokespe: This fandom feels like being surrounded by a pack of wolves! thumbs up 6. Pokeani: Most god awful takes you've ever seen because half the people here don't even like the content and the other half are eight years old. 7. Spiderwicks: What fandom? 8. HTTYD Books: When the fandom is just the size that you can't argue with each other over media or you'll fall apart. ok symbol 9.

HTTYD movies: I don't even care if half the fandom is crossovers with unrelated fandoms, I want to have fun! 13. The Monkees: Pretty big and dedicated, once you get there.

Gameknight999: "Theres another sign, it says…COM?" 4. Shark Wars: "It was not a good whammo. Not good at all." 5. Pokespe: "I wish [corporation name] would have a lot of customers.

HTTYD Books: "…she had once stunned a stag with one blow of her mighty bosoms, and many a smaller animal had suffocated in their stern depths." 9.

You can't help but wonder what wonderfully army she might have sent to rescue you. What do you find? A resounding "No," you must save yourself after all. 9. Scratchcraft: Lightning rains down around you, but you smile. It's finally time to join the other gods in the sky. The people you once loved are nothing but shadows to you now. 10.

Percy Jackson: As a person able to breath underwater, you are yanked into unfamiliar waves, for the first time ever, you know what it is like to drown. 12.

No matter how hard I try, I never get to enjoy my freedom," 6. Pokeani: "We do have a lot in common. The same earth, the same air, the same sky. Maybe if we started looking at what's the same instead of always looking at what's different… well, who knows?" 7. Spiderwicks: "Don't you know me? Am I not your own self?" 8. HTTYD Books: "You, dear reader, I am sure cannot imagine what it might to be like to live in a world in which books are banned. For surely such things will never happen in the Future?" 9. Scratchcraft: "I'm am not smart and I should not have done that. Ha hA- Hope I didn't loose everything I own." (Saltyy) 10. Hetalia: "When I look into all of your stupid faces, I think how fun it will be to pound them into dust." 11. Percy Jackson: “Don't feel bad, I'm usually about to die.” 12.

Pokemon DPA: A short(-ish) and sweet manga series. 2. Warrior Cats: It is critical that these books must have as many mistakes as possible. Also, there must be a LOT of them. 3.

Like, I picked it up and thought I was reading a different book series than I was. 2. Warrior Cats: I stayed up ALL NIGHT at Girl Scout Camp reading one of the books a few into a section of the series that I have never read before or since. 3. Gameknight999: I associate the smell of magazines with this fandom now, unfortunately. 4. Shark Wars: For some reason I could not find book two. Like. For four years. Why.

It's great. 7. Spiderwicks: On a four hour car trip, the only thing I brought to do was read this book. I get car sick when I read in a car. 8.

HTTYD movies: This and Das Boot Directors Cut are my favorite things to watch on the TV. Yeah. 13. The Monkees: I was very upset in college and I prayed for any sort of distraction to make me feel better. A day later, I got so hyperfixated on this fandom that I could not think about anything BUT the fandom and began alternating between squeaking in joy and sobbing for about three days straight.
17. Thank God that's over! Woah, speaking of Him, pick an afterlife! (If there is no such thing in the series in question, I picked the next closest thing that appears in the media.) 1. Pokemon DPA: Chunks of earth float in the twisted sky. Somewhere you cannot see, a shadowy creature roars. 2. Warrior Cats: A life just like yours, but none of you can grow anymore. 3.

18. What "bad end" would you like to be a very easy possibility in something you read? 1. Pokemon DPA: The world has been restarted, made into something devoid of love and emotions.

Gameknight999: The virus bleeds out of the game, infecting the real world turning it into a nightmare. 4. Shark Wars: A horrible emperor takes over the entire world, cannibalizing or enslaving anyone who stands in his way. 5. Pokespe: The protagonist stays frozen, and unfortunately, the second follows in his footsteps. There is no one to stop change now. 6. Pokeani: A creature beyond all of humanity has decided that people do not deserve to live free. 7. Spiderwicks: The fae continue killing, families are lost to their power, the town twists, crackling into the trash heap at its center. 8. HTTYD Books: As they say, "If it doesn't end well, then it isn't the end!" 9. Scratchcraft: [I've got nothing. Honestly. I don't know how I've managed anything serious so far. Feel free to pick this if you don't like the other options lol.] 10. Hetalia: Well. Honestly. The whole thing kind of feels like a bad end? 11. Percy Jackson: The Old Ones take over again. There is nothing but suffering for humanity now. 12. HTTYD movies: Everything will continue just as it was. 13. The Monkees: Well. The band broke up.
19. Okay, if there are any fandoms you DO NOT WANT to be recommended, speak you peace now. (This will give you one point for every other fandom. Picking "no," will give you one point for everything, to even them out.) 1-13: [self explanatory]
20. One more question! Time to pick your own. >^w^< 1. Pokemon DPA: If you had the choice to, would you forgive the man who hurt you so badly? 2.

Who turned on the dark?"
Fandom descriptions:
Shark Wars: Hm. Did you get kicked out of YOUR Shiver too?? Shark Wars is a book series by EJ Altbacker which goes through increasingly violent and terrible events in the lives of the main characters, all while aiming at a relatively young audience. It's one of those series that takes like thirty minutes to want to start reading the book (even as it's in your hands), but once you do, you literally can't put it down. Truly a masterpiece, if I, the only Shark Wars fan on the planet, can convince you. I highly recommend this series! It's a lot of fun! (Don't worry about the Shark Magic, it's martial arts if they say it is.)
Warrior cats: May all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather before highrock for a clan meeting! Warrior Cats is a book series written by a group of authors who, together, go by Erin Hunter. It follows the lives of a whole lot of cats, and it does so in a way that is shockingly gripping (and, let's face it, a little ridiculous), frankly, you couldn't really ask for a better middle school friend group roleplay. About a million characters, and about a million ways to interpret them… purrfect. (sorry) (The moon pool sure is cold at this time of night.)
Pokespe: The power of the Viridian Forest has bestowed upon you the ability to read something real good. The Pokemon Adventures (or Pokemon Special) manga is a very long running manga series written by Hidenori Kusaka. It currently goes from the Red and Blue games ALLL the way to Scarlet and Violet, and it does a great job too! It's characters are original and three dimensional (despite being based on game counterparts), and it's plots can be completely unexpected, even for someone who played the original games. I highly encourage getting into these series, or at least reading up to the third book. It's a lot of fun. Yes. We KNOW about the Arbok already, stop mentioning it!! Why do you think we're here!??!?
Pokemon DPA: …do you want to meet a god- Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Adventure is an eight book series by manga author and artist Shigekatsu Ihara. It centers around the travels of Hareta as he makes his way through the Sinnoh region. Very fast paced and with slightly odd humor, you may wonder why I like it so much, and to that I have to tell you that it is, in fact, my FAVORITE Pokemon media. I know. A little ridiculous. But who can blame me? The art, character designs, and story are all really good, and the action is nothing to scoff at. If you like something silly, just a wee bit violent, and a lot of fun, give this series a try! I could really use a friend in this fandom. XD We don't mind being a little stupid here. :3
Hetalia: Oh boy, here we are. Hetalia is a controversial manga, anime, and musical franchise started by Hidekaz Himaruya. It is a satirical telling of various points in history through humanized versions of the counties. It is absolutely not everyone's cup of tea, but it helped me to better understand (and find interest in) history, and if you like satire and historical situations, this may be the place for you. Uh… Make pasta not war?
Percy Jackson: Well. I didn't ASK to be a half blood. (And I guess neither did you.) Percy Jackson (which hardly needs an introduction) was originally a book series by Rick Riordan, and has since expanded into a (not very well liked) movie series, and a show, as well as many other connected series. Despite this, the original book series is by far my favorite, and if you are looking for something that is very funny, and very violent, it is the way to go. Have fun demigod! (PS: I think I saw the upstairs window glow, did you see that?)
Gameknight999: Ah. I see, you got hit with the digitalizer too! The Gameknight999 series is an unofficial "isekai" Minecraft novel series by Mark Cheverton. It can be considered childish, and most often found in book fairs at elementary schools, but it can have a much darker tone if you want to look into it. The fandom itself for this book series came at a difficult time in my life, and though I am unable to determine whether the fandom was an overall net positive or negative for me, the books were definitely a positive. They inspired creativity and community, while also being objectively hilarious in concept. Come, let's hold hands and frolic through our computer screens together. :)
Scratchcraft: Welcome new Scratcher! Click the "create" button to make a new project. :3 Scratchcraft is a Minecraft SMP that is currently in it's fourth season. What is interesting about this SMP, however, is that it was started on the website Scratch.mit.edu, and, also, that it is not very active. While the content itself in this fandom is few and far between, the community is incredible once you get your footing in it. The member who currently uploads the most goes by "StormLordZeus" on Youtube and went by "haunted_enderman" on Scratch. (His Minecraft skin is pictured in the result image above.) And NO, you can't ask to join Scratchcraft.
Pokeani: Sorry you woke up late, we've just got a Pikachu left! Oh well, no matter. The Pokemon Anime (starring Ash Ketchum as the lead character) was an anime that lasted for 25 years across 26 seasons and several movies. It is not my favorite Pokemon Media, but it is still one of my favorite fandoms of all time due to it's cast, great range of amazing to hilariously bad animation (only sparingly), and episodic nature. If you are looking for something fun that you can pretty much jump into whenever, the Pokemon Anime may be the right fit for you! Enjoy your journey, you hopeful Pokemon Master!
How To Train Your Dragon (movies and shows): Welcome to dragon training! The How To Train Your Dragon movies and shows were based on a wonderful series of the same name, but quickly fell completely off the mark. You may think, because I personally prefer the books, that this means that the movies are bad in some way. Absolutely not! Without spoilers, the first How To Train Your Dragon movie is my favorite movie of all time, and the second it's really all that far behind it. If you want something with incredible music, a great story, and a really nice message (not even to mention the characters and animation) try out at LEAST the first movie, and start branching out from there if it hooks you in like it did me. And, yeah, if you see that Night Fury, I heard pretty much everyone is looking for it.
Spiderwicks Chronicals: Must've taken the dumbwaiter up here huh? The Spiderwicks Chronicles is a short book series made by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi. I must admit that I do not often post about this series, but despite that, it is one of my favorite fantasy series I have ever read. It's short, sweet, and very depressing when it wants to be. If that kind of thing sounds up your alley, who knows! Maybe someone just like you could encourage me and others to show more interest as well. (Don't forget to get some fairy bathwater in your eyes on the way out. Sorry if that's gross, it's kinda important.)
How To Train Your Dragon (books): Well, suffering swordfish, you've found your way here. The How To Train Your Dragon books series is a twelve book series by Cressida Cowell that follows Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third and his friends as they go on wacky misadventures through the Barbaric Archipelago. At least, it is until the true extent of everything becomes clearer and clearer. If you want something that becomes surprisingly serious (while still remaining rather funny), and is incredible and exciting all the way through, try on these books for size. Isn't fate artistic?
The Monkees: Hey hey! We're the Monkees fandom! Some people say we Monkee around! The Monkees was a 1966 show about four people who wanted to be a band, but it was also a band made up of four people who wanted to be in a band. Depending on what you want, this fandom can provide you from anything from sitcom antics, to Real Person Fiction, to a really weird movie. -and of course, save the Texas Prairie Chicken.

This is a very important conversation all of us US LADS players should start having:
How much of Trump's sexual censorship will occur before it affects us? Will they come for Love and Deepspace?
Especially, considering how much attention that LADS got when the "Male" gamer community learned about it- not only does LADS help protect reproductive freedom by including a Period Tracker, it also allows for self autonomy through the de-stigmatization of female led pleasure and comfort.
In the states of Texas- political leaders are trying to make it harder to get self-pleasure devices for women harder to get than guns, because they are "obscene devices". As well as Republicans attempt to block p*rn*graphy, all of these people calling LADS soft p*rn and a "groomer game" can put our game and community in their radar.
I am extremely worried about this censorship especially towards Female s*xual autonomy, and how a game that promotes men treating womer with respect, kindness and autonomy will get targeted.
I need everyone to understand that us even having a choice on who to pursue in the game- having the choice of who to love and marry- IS POLITICAL.
To a fascist government, anything promoting women autonomy- is and will be seen as liberal propaganda.
Now I ask you my fellow Love and Deepspace players- what will you do to protect your right to our beloved game?

it has been exactly a year since i posted the pre-prologue and started my comic journey! i'm grateful for the support and for the love this comic has received. I never expected it to be a big thing, it was supposed to just be a fun little practice comic but it's become something a lot bigger! I put a lot of time and effort in it so i am really happy that it is so widely received.
we talked in the SBC Discord server for a bit about what do do for a celebration and eventually landed on doing a one-shot comic in a sort of MAP-style; every panel being a different artist/team of artists. Salt&Hollow's first date was the topic we landed on. everybody put tons of love and effort into their panels and i'm incredibly happy with the outcome, the come-together of different styles and mediums is one of my favorite things that the Warriors fandom excels at.
thank you everyone for all of your support so far! Below the readmore is hyperlinks to everyone's social medias. please check out everyone who helped bring this project together

Trigger warnings: r*pe, p*dophilia, ab*se, child ab*se, drug use, child p*rn*graphy, inc*st
I know people have strong opinions on the whole writing fanfiction for real people but putting that aside, I seriously just came across the most disturbing, disgusting and sick fanfiction I think I've ever seen and I've come across A LOT of disgusting shit on here from multiple fandoms, but writing a story that includes (as it says on their trigger warnings) things like incest between twins, r*pe, child p*rn*graphy, forced drug use, underage s*x, child ab*se, p*dophilia, and Munchausen by proxy and just soooo sooo much more disgusting shit and then use real people for that you need some serious fucking help and I really mean this, even with fictional people that's just sick but real people it's another level, and Idc if the op sees it bc they did make a poll asking about it, and yeah it's sick, what do you mean you're writing a story like that and making Zak Brown the bad guy and taking in consideration the warnings he most likely does all that shit or has an involvement, there's a huge line and you're crossing it like I said, this is putting aside the whole "writing fanfiction for real people" bc I know some people don't care others find it weird, this just goes beyond anything and I'm sorry but I had to say something

The Heathers AU kids join the Unicron Trilogy.
Veronica, JD, Duke, Braverman, Liam are the main representatives, though Chandler, MacNamara, Specs, Sputnik, Thrash, Throttle, Kurt, Ram, Cheryl, Tracey, Martha and their siblings/parents have roles in the background.
In this version of events, the kids live at the CosmoScope Research Center village, their parents having some scientific or construction contributions to the Center.
Personality wise, the kids are similar to their Heathers counterparts, though JD’s situation isn’t nearly as dire as he’s lived at CosmoScope since he was six when Bud got a lucrative contract to help with construction down there, and he met Veronica and Braverman then.
Braverman and Heather Duke are Billy’s cousins, JD is Kicker and Sally’s cousin. Braverman, Rad, Alexis and Veronica are neighbors and they get along pretty well like siblings due to having similar personalities. Veronica and Alexis bonded over their scholastic achievements, while Braverman and Rad bonded over their adventurous spirit. Braverman had a little kid infatuation with Rad that years later, he’d realize Rad was his first crush.
The Heathers kids meet the Autobots and Mini-Cons originally at the carnival Rad and Carlos snuck High Wire and Grindor into.
Braverman was brought to the Autobot base by Rad shortly after, albeit reluctantly as Rad was forced to baby sit, and with the adults busy, and had no choice but to bring him along despite Jetfire’s reservations. Veronica and JD followed the two boys, conflating the matter more.
After Heather Duke started snooping after seeing her cousins toddle off with Rad and found the base by accident, Optimus appointed his wife Firecycle and Jetfire as the younger kids guardians, something the motherly Firecycle was excited about but Jetfire wasn’t as much. Jetfire did wind up forming a bond with the younger kids despite his concerns about sticky fingers and barf in his Vehicle Mode. JD wound up bonding with Firecycle, noticing she had similarities to his dead mother Jocelyn.
Braverman and the others tagged along during the camp adventure, and a different story saw them find and bond with the newly reactivated Dinobot Mini-Cons: Dile, Zaur, Graphy and Noise.
Due to the dangers posed by Unicron, Optimus and Rad insisted the younger kids remain on Earth much to their disappointment, but the kids got their shot 10 years later during the Energon conflict.
Specs and Sputnik worked on the Lunar and Martian Cities, with the jocks, Martha and Tracey working on Energon Tower and City construction at Bud’s company with the Autobot Build Team, Grapple, Hoist, and Boulder.
Cheryl, Mischa, Billy, Fred, and Veronica assisted with various tasks around the Energon Cities, while Braverman and Dean worked on the field helping Kicker scout Energon deposits alongside their Mini-Con Dinobot partners, a flock of Cyberhawks like Laserbeak, and the adventurous husband and wife team Outback and Cindersaur. JD is still close with Firecycle, though the two don’t get to see each other as much due to the frantic pursuits of the Energon mining boom.
A small Decepticon incursion after rumors of Galvatron still being online spread tragically saw Veronica disappear in an Energon processing facility explosion with JD loosing his hand. Due to friendly relations with the Aggorian and Zertonian colony, JD got a Handroid as a special prosthetic that allows him to remotely control and monitor the Cyberhawk flock as they scout areas of interest. The loss of Veronica shook Braverman and JD deeply, with them unable to trust other Decepticons afterwards as Tidal Wave, Cyclonus and Demolishor all defected one by one back to Galvatron. When put in a compromised position with Cyclonus’ cousin Snowcat, the boys would reluctantly choose to trust the Mercenary to escape their predicament, and it took a lot of convincing from Hot Shot for the boys to trust Wheeljack for similar reasons.
It’s heavily implied JD and Dan have been dating, with some gags showing them clearly interrupted in making out in private when an alarm goes off.
The Heathers’ rich families are shareholders and business partners in the CosmoScope and Energon mining and while Red, Gold, Red’s sister Charlie and Green’s older sisters and younger brother don’t usually interact directly with the Autobots, Green tends to bull her way into affairs. She insists she’s keeping tabs on where her family’s money is going, but secretly she’s looking to escape from her family’s drama, and is jealous Braverman and Billy work on the frontlines with the Autobots. Heather is not afraid to tell off Optimus and calls him fat due to his new body, and often wonders if all the Energon is going to his “beer gut”. Optimus’ protective sister Ariel isn’t a big fan of Heather for this reason, though Firecycle knows Heather is a good girl (it’s just buried under her mean girl flab…). When Sentinel Prime was reactivated by a stray burst of Energon and started his own campaign to smear Optimus, Heather was actually the first to come to Optimus’ defense alongside Kicker, Ariel and Firecycle. Heather would also form a friendship with the Autobot Downshift that persisted well into the search for the Cyber Planet Keys.
During the final battle with Liege Maximo and Galvatron, the children were aboard Omega Sentinel with a reformed Sentinel Prime and other Autobots when the Guardian Robot was sucked into a warp anomaly caused by the Liege. The crew was thought dead, with the partnership between Earth and Cybertron strained because of it, but in actuality the crew has survived, being brought a further 10 years later by none other than Vector Prime. Vector Prime also had an extra traveling companion, Veronica, who he had also saved from the earlier Energon explosion.
When reunited with their families, Braverman met his now 10 year old baby brother Liam, while JD learned through his Aunt Miranda Bud had died in a construction accident. Liam and Veronica joined the hunt for the Cyber Planet Keys alongside Coby, Bud and Lori.

Hey guys, I know we're all broke but I just found a Palestinian evacuation gofundme created in late April with no donations, so I gave what I could and I want to encourage anyone who can to donate to it too:
I just can't imagine what it must be like to reach out for help like this and get nothing back. So just... even if you can only give very little, give it anyway, because together we can make a difference in this genocide.
I also want to give a list of other gofundmes with very few donations. Lots of people have been able to evacuate thanks to these fund raisers, it really makes a difference. I'll reblog with a few more.
There are also about 800 gofundmes more listed on this Project Olive Branch spreadsheet:
If you can't donate, share. It feels hopeless sometimes but there are many of these from the list that have reached their goals and are safe in Egypt now and we can help even more people. Together we have more power than we know.

Fargo: C and Ch
(Originally posted to Reddit on 1/20/24)
I want to point out a couple of significant things that Noah Hawley did with alphabet letters in the finale. You can reject my interpretation of their meaning, but we should at least acknowledge that they were done.
The first is the absence of the letter C, but its repeated use as a sound in a spoken phrase.
The episode title, Bisquik, leaves the letter c out of the brand name, even though we've seen the correct spelling on the box several times during season 5, and the product has been mentioned many times.
Lorraine, in her description of Roy's punishment, mentions that she's helping prisoners in cell blocks D, B, and A, but not C. Once again, the C is missing.
During the scene in Dot's house, the phrase "across the sea" is spoken three times. If we think of sea as c, this phrase becomes part of the motif that highlights the letter c in this episode. We've also had references to "seeing" throughout this season, including eye patches and complete blindness, or lack of seeing/c-ing.
One of the meanings of C is cancer, as in the big C. Roy has said, "Cancer can't survive outside of the body," and Jordan Seymore repeatedly emphasized that he had cancer, and that, "I need this cancer out of me!"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cigarette smoking is a major cause of cancer, and Lorraine gives Roy a pack of cigarettes with the fictional brand name Original, as in "original sin."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This "gift" can be seen as paying off the Trojan horse idea that was depicted in the shot through the windmill blades, showing two buildings on the ranch configured like a Trojan horse. The blades of the windmill itself look like matches with red tips, and the windmill is a gravesite. We can associate this with the cancer-causing cigarettes accepted by Roy. They are presented as a gift (because he can theoretically use them to bargain away abuse), but they are actually something harmful, just like a Trojan horse.
Tumblr media
Munch also mentions being approached by a man with a "wealthy horse" to be given food and two coins. This was also a Trojan horse, because the food was actually sin.
Munch's sins are like a cancer that he can't get out of him.
Now for the second unusual thing with letters in the finale.
In the space of a few minutes, we hear the words chili, cheddar, chopsticks, chocolate, chimpanzees, and choice. That's an odd assortment of words, particularly the decision to include chopsticks and chimpanzees. What's going on with all those ch words?
The letter combination ch is a digraph: "two letters used to represent one sound," from Greek di- "twice" (from PIE root *dwo- "two") + -graph "something written," from Greek graphe "writing," from graphein "to write, express by written characters," earlier "to draw, represent by lines drawn" (see -graphy)."
I've theorized that season 5 is a story being written by Gaear Grimsrud, the kidnapper and killer of Jean Lundegaard in the Fargo movie, and that he was representing himself in the narrative as two characters: Ole Munch and Roy Tillman.
Munch is the pancake lover who just wants some peace and quiet. Roy is the domineering Marlboro Man side of Gaear, who commits ruthless murders.
In the movie, another character says of Gaear, "You know, he looked like the Marlboro Man." She proposes that this may be a subconscious thing, "'cause he smoked a lot of Marlboros." And Noah Hawley described Roy's look as the Marlboro Man.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The purpose of writing this story would be to pay a debt to Jean in the only way possible now, and to gain her forgiveness and hopefully some measure of redemption.
Just as Dot (who represents Jean) gives Munch the biscuit and speaks of forgiveness, the movie theme music kicks in. The victim has forgiven the perpetrator. In the previous episode, the perpetrator literally pulled the victim from the grave, resurrecting her in the form of this fictional character, Dorothy Lyon.
The only thing left now is redemption. So Munch eats the biscuit and is apparently freed from the curse of sin. At the same time, Roy (his other half) is damned to eternal hell for the crimes he has committed.
So there is both acknowledgement of Gaear's crimes, and recognition that they deserve punishment, but also some measure of salvation in the fact that his victim forgives him.
This is my interpretation of the finale. I also believe these events are taking place, within the story, as a bardo in the afterlife, a liminal transition space in which earthly trauma and sins can be worked out before reincarnation, much like Camp Utopia was for the abused women in Linda. As Munch says, "This is the other side."
Tumblr media
We've had various discussions before about reincarnation and cycles, and if we look back, there are a lot of hints along the way that could point to smoking and cancer. I think this is what the author is dying from.
Tumblr media
However you interpret the finale, we should recognize that Noah Hawley was trying to convey something with his emphasis on C and Ch.

OC: relationship graph
I felt like making a graph showing the current OC relationships. It's a little self-indulgent, but I have a lot of OCs so it may help clear things up for you. It's also fun to look at the graph and wonder which connections to make next...

‘'Ethno…graphy?!? I can't even say it”: Co-designing training for ethnographic research for people with learning disabilities and carers
This article summarises independent work funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) School for Primary Care Research (SPCR), award 499. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the SPCR, the NIHR or the Department of Health and Social Care
Accessible Summary
We are a team of academic researchers, people with learning disabilities and carers. We worked together to design training materials for people with learning disabilities and carers to work as co-researchers on research projects.
The training was for doing a type of research called ethnography. When you do ethnography, you spend time with people to learn about their lives.
In this article, we describe what we did and what we learnt.
We think more people with learning disabilities and carers should be involved in research but many do not have the confidence to do it. Training can help with that.
We also think that ethnography is a type of research that can be easier to do than other types of research. This is because ethnography uses the skills lots of us already have the following: watching, listening and talking to people.
Background
There is a strong ethical case and an urgent need for more participatory research practices in disability research but a lack of resources to support this. It is important to involve people with learning disabilities and carers at all stages, including when designing training for co-research.
Methods
We co-developed training materials to support people with learning disabilities and carers to work as ethnographic co-researchers and for academic researchers to facilitate co-research. We focused on what people with learning disabilities and carers thought was important to learn.
Findings
Whilst not all types of research methods are easy to democratise, ethnographic observation is a research method that lends itself well to participatory co-research.
Conclusions
For people to be able to meaningfully participate, research processes need to become more accessible and transparent. Training that considers the needs and priorities of people with learning disabilities and carers and addresses the confidence gap is key for meaningful co-research.

3, 8, 12 for the gifmakers questions ^.^
3. who/what inspires your gifs
Honestly, quite a lot of gifmakers in this fandom inspire me to create, all of which are incredibly talented
@seance has some of the most intricate sets I've ever seen, the colouring, blending and emotion all inspire me to make better sets
@taiturner makes beautiful sets that I frequently find myself coming back to and just looking at bc they're just that good and so versatile and just in general so beautiful to look at I can't help but be inspired
I wouldn't be half the giffer I am without @i-seeaspaceshipinthe-sky and Is chats, they have constantly encouraged and listened to me complain and inspired me all the same, and I absolutely will make you another Klaus set some day 💛 and this isn't even mentioning how incredible I find the sets that you make
@number5theboy absolutely insane ability to gif moments I've never thought twice about, parallels I never considered and colourings that are vibrant and bring life to the show is something that I find so just mind-blowing
And @capinejghafa ive already spoken to you about your colouring but it needs to be mentioned again (seriously how you make this show look so good I'll never know, that's talent) but the sets and concepts you have are all so utterly unique that when I see a set like that I just immediately know it's yours, your style is incredibly personalised and I love it and it and it genuinely does inspire me to create more out there sets
This isn't everyone there's some much talent in this fandom but these are the ones that stick out the most
8. your favourite gif created by yourself
it has to be the recent series three set I made, I had wanted to make something like it since S3 aired and kept putting it off but I always had the idea and template in mind, and I just love how it turned out
12. fonts you like using?
I mostly use graphie, I like the rounded look idk and I find it looks good with most other fonts, other than that I don't really have a favourite

Tips for Success in Passive Income Ventures
Start Small: Test an idea with minimum investment.
Be Consistent: Passive income requires consistency in the beginning.
Diversify: Don’t rely on a single source.

Stay Updated: Online trends change fast; keep learning and adapting.
Final Thoughts
Creating passive income streams in India is more achievable than ever. With the right strategy, patience, and persistence, you can build a portfolio of income sources that work for you round the clock. Whether you choose blogging, investing, course creation, or real estate, the key is to start now and stay committed.
Remember: Passive income is not instant income. It’s built over time. But once established, it can give you financial freedom — and the luxury of making money while you sleep.

Level Up Your Style: The Ultimate Guide to Long Sleeve Graphic Tees
Tumblr media
T-shirts are a wardrobe staple, but sometimes a short sleeve just doesn't cut it. Maybe it's a cooler evening, a desire for more sun protection, or simply an aesthetic preference. That's where the versatile and stylish long sleeve graphic tee steps in. Far from being just a casual afterthought, these garments have evolved into a powerful fashion statement, blending comfort, creativity, and cutting-edge design.
Why Long Sleeve Graphic Tees Are a Must-Have in Your Wardrobe
Long sleeve graphic tees offer a unique blend of practicality and personality. They are more than just an extended version of a classic tee; they open up a world of styling possibilities and cater to a broader range of occasions.
The Perfect Blend of Comfort and Coverage
One of the primary advantages of long sleeve graphic tees is their inherent comfort. Made typically from soft cotton or cotton blends, they feel great against the skin. The long sleeves provide an extra layer of warmth during transitional weather, cool evenings, or air-conditioned environments. They also offer a degree of sun protection, making them ideal for outdoor activities where you want to minimize direct sun exposure without sacrificing style.
A Canvas for Self-Expression
Graphic tees, by their very nature, are a form of wearable art. They allow you to showcase your interests, humor, favorite bands, artistic preferences, or even make a subtle statement without saying a word. Long sleeve versions simply extend that canvas, often allowing for more elaborate designs or wrapping graphics around the arm, adding an extra dimension to the visual appeal. From vintage band logos to abstract art, witty slogans to pop culture references, the possibilities for self-expression are endless.
Versatility for Every Season and Occasion
While often associated with casual wear, long sleeve graphic tees are surprisingly versatile. They can be dressed up or down, making them suitable for a wide range of settings:
Casual outings: Pair them with jeans, joggers, or shorts for an effortlessly cool everyday look.
Layering: They are excellent for layering under jackets, hoodies, vests, or even blazers for added warmth and style.
Athleisure: Many brands now offer long sleeve graphic tees in performance fabrics, making them suitable for light workouts or active lifestyles.
Streetwear: They are a cornerstone of modern streetwear, offering a relaxed yet stylish aesthetic.
Loungewear: Their comfort makes them perfect for relaxed evenings at home.
Choosing Your Perfect Long Sleeve Graphic Tee: What to Look For
With an overwhelming array of choices available, selecting the right long sleeve graphic tee can seem daunting. Consider these key factors to help you make an informed decision:
Fabric Quality and Feel
The material is crucial for comfort and durability.
100% Cotton: A classic choice, offering breathability and softness. Look for combed or ringspun cotton for a smoother feel.
Cotton Blends: Often combined with polyester for added durability, wrinkle resistance, and sometimes a softer drape.
Tri-blends: Typically a mix of cotton, polyester, and rayon, offering an incredibly soft handfeel and a vintage look.
Organic Cotton: An eco-friendly option for those who prioritize sustainability.
Graphic Design and Aesthetics
This is where your personality truly shines.
Themes: Are you into music, movies, nature, abstract art, witty sayings, or a specific aesthetic?
Colors: Consider how the graphic colors complement your existing wardrobe and skin tone.
Placement: Graphics can be on the front, back, sleeves, or a combination. Think about how the placement contributes to the overall look.
Printing Method:
Screen printing: Durable and vibrant, common for most graphic tees.
Direct-to-Garment (DTG): Allows for more detailed and photographic designs.
Embroidery: Adds a premium, textured feel, often used for logos or smaller designs.
Fit and Style
Long sleeve graphic tees come in various fits, each offering a different silhouette.
Regular Fit: A classic, comfortable fit that isn't too tight or too loose.
Slim Fit: Tapered through the body and arms for a more contemporary, fitted look.
Oversized/Relaxed Fit: Offers a loose, comfortable, and trendy streetwear aesthetic. Ideal for layering.
Raglan Sleeve: Features sleeves that extend in one piece to the collar, creating a distinctive diagonal seam from the underarm to the collarbone. Often seen in baseball-style tees.
Styling Your Long Sleeve Graphic Tee: Unleash Your Creativity
The beauty of the long sleeve graphic tee lies in its adaptability. Here are some styling ideas to inspire you:
Effortlessly Casual
Jeans and Sneakers: The quintessential casual pairing. Opt for distressed jeans for an edgier look or classic blue jeans for timeless appeal.
Joggers and Slides: Perfect for lounging or running quick errands, combining comfort with a laid-back vibe.
Shorts and High-Tops: A great spring or early autumn look when you want arm coverage but keep your legs cool.
Layering Like a Pro
Under a Flannel Shirt: Unbuttoned flannel over a long sleeve graphic tee creates a classic, outdoorsy, or grunge-inspired look.
Under a Denim Jacket: A timeless combination that adds an extra layer of style and warmth.
Under a Blazer: For a smart-casual ensemble, especially with a more minimalist graphic tee and tailored trousers.
Under a Hoodie: The long sleeves peeking out from under a short-sleeved hoodie can add an interesting layered dimension.
Elevating the Look
With Chinos and Loafers: Swap out jeans for chinos and sneakers for loafers for a slightly more polished, yet still relaxed, aesthetic.
Tucked In: For a cleaner, more retro or smart-casual look, especially with high-waisted trousers or skirts.
Accessorize: A beanie, cap, statement watch, or layered necklaces can significantly enhance your outfit.
Caring for Your Long Sleeve Graphic Tees
To ensure your graphic tees last and maintain their vibrant designs, proper care is essential:
Read the Label: Always check the garment's care tag for specific washing instructions.
Wash Inside Out: This protects the graphic from friction during washing, preventing cracking or fading.
Use Cold Water: Cold water helps prevent shrinking and fading of both the fabric and the graphic.
Gentle Cycle: A gentle cycle is less abrasive on the fabric and print.
Avoid Bleach: Bleach can damage the fabric and cause the graphic to fade or discolor.
Tumble Dry Low or Air Dry: High heat can damage the print and cause shrinking. Air drying is the best option for longevity. If using a dryer, opt for the lowest heat setting.
Iron Inside Out: If ironing is necessary, turn the tee inside out and use a low heat setting, avoiding direct contact with the graphic.
Where to Find Your Next Favorite Long Sleeve Graphic Tee
The market for long sleeve graphic tees is vast, offering something for every taste and budget.
Online Retailers: Websites like ASOS, Zalando, Nordstrom, and independent brands on platforms like Etsy offer an immense selection.
Streetwear Brands: Brands like Supreme, Stüssy, Carhartt WIP, and countless others are known for their unique graphic offerings.
Skate Shops: Often a treasure trove of cool and authentic graphic tees from various skate brands.
Vintage and Thrift Stores: For unique, one-of-a-kind designs and a sustainable shopping approach.
Artist Marketplaces: Platforms where independent artists sell their designs directly, allowing you to support creators directly.
Conclusion: Embrace the Power of the Long Sleeve Graphic Tee
The long sleeve graphic tee is more than just a piece of clothing; it's a statement, a comfort essential, and a versatile building block for countless outfits. By understanding the nuances of fabric, fit, and design, and by embracing creative styling techniques, you can unlock the full potential of these dynamic garments. So go ahead, explore the vast world of long sleeve graphic tees, find the designs that speak to you, and confidently express your unique style.

Transformers Energon AU notes
After the ignition of the first Energon Sun, the revival of the “Q System” of planets, and Unicron’s sabotage to prevent the Decepticons from abusing his power, Alpha Q is restored to his original child form: a humanoid type Quintesson and joins the Autobots. While technically the older one between the two, as a physically 8 year old boy by human standards, he becomes Kicker, Misha, and Sally’s kid brother, and really latches on to the teens and the other Autobots, not wanting to let a second chance at found family slipping away. In the absence of his original father figure, Scorponok, he is additionally protected by Blackout, a sentient, ninja like variant of the Divebomb Terrorcons.
Demolisher, Cyclonus and Tidal Wave have all tragically died during the mid stage of the Energon War, with their reformatted selves replaced by Wheeljack (now a Mercenary hired by the Decepticons), Slugslinger and Sharkticon. Snowcat does appear still, but is revealed to be Cyclonus’ cousin (better played off by their Japanese names in Sandstorm/Snowstorm). Other Mercenaries hired by Starscream and Scorponok that appear off and on include the red hot spider bot Airachnid who the Insecticons are smitten over, and the brother and sister duo Iguanus and Pythona. Pythona doesn’t think very highly of Galvatron, knowing full well what he was like as Megatron, and mostly sticks around out of amusement to see how Galvatron will foul things up for himself this time. Iguanas is the more business minded of the two, and negotiates contracts and payment in Energon over his more lackadaisical and foul mouthed kid sister who isn’t afraid to tell Galvatron where to shove it.
The Autobots are joined by the Dinobots, created by Primus to help better battle the animalistic Terrorcons. Besides Grimlock and Swoop, they are joined by Grimstone and his drones who can become Volcanicus Maximus. Grimlock has a semi playful rivalry with Kicker, always teasing him and giving him a taste of his own teenage angst nonsense. The Dinobots seem to have an affection for Misha in particular, and usually listen to what she says over Optimus and Kicker.
Other teens help out the Autobots, Braverman and Dean, who are the sons of prominent scientists and shareholders of the Energon operation on Earth. They help survey planets for Energon using Cyberhawks like Laserbeak and Mini-Con Dinobots (Dile and Zaur with the cheerful Braverman while Graphy and Noise are partnered with the more surly Dean). The boys are heavily implied to be a couple, with Hot Shot remarking how opposites truly do attract to Ironhide’s confusion. The boys are also accompanied by the eccentric adventurer Outback (retool of Cliffjumper) and his doting and no less adventurous wife Cindersaur (retool of Grimlock) who everyone affectionately calls “Cindy”. The two can Powerlinx, with a running gag where they playfully flirt on who gets to be on top. Dean is Kicker’s cousin on Miranda’s side, while Braverman is Misha’s childhood friend. Both boys grew up at the Cosmoscope Research Center Village like Rad, Carlos and Alexis did and were among the little kids who befriended the Mini-Cons at the Carnival and are not so secretly Transformer geeks to Jetfire’s annoyance,
Similar to the anime, the next major arc is protecting Alpha Q’s restored planets, but the main difference is they’re now all inhabited by other Transformers and alien life forms for more toyetic possibilities.
Blizzard Planet: Populated by the Xetaxxians, based on their organic forms from IDW. A legend by the locals speaks of a mighty Blizzard Saber that helped forge the Xetaxxians into the race they are today. They’re the lost Cryo Saber Mini-Con Team, and an item of interest to Snowcat to look good in front of Galvatron. The Dinobots hate this planet, with Grimlock famously refusing to help because “Ice Age kill Dinosaurs on Earth” after hanging up abruptly on Optimus.
Iron Planet: A primitive rocky world populated by pseudo mechanical lifeforms made of a Sentio Metallico equivalent, making them compatible with Transformers for Powerlinx. Most of the life is in a prehistoric, animalistic state such as Morphobots, Iron Wolves, Rust Giants, the Iron Bird (the G1 Asteroid Bird creature), Iron Spiders, and more. Some of them, via the power of Alpha Q’s Energon and the Combination Spark, allow Optimus to combine with them into Iron Optimus (Iron Convoy). Galvatron learned the hard way harvesting Energon here may prove difficult than previously thought when his Insecticons were devoured voraciously by a stray pocket of Morphobots embedded in an Energon deposit.
Rock Planet: The Lithone equivalent, the sister planet to Iron Planet. Lithones like Kranix, Arblus, the Rock Lords and the various Infernac Transformers from Legacy reside here. Kranix works with the Autobots and Omnicons to study Energon and fend off Terrorcons. It’s Kranix in particular that helps recognize the transformation capabilities of the other planets’ residents, which allows each world’s populace to fight back and Powerlinx with the Autobots. Bouldercrash in particular is Powerlinx compatible with Ironhide, Jetfire and Cliffjumper. Optimus Prime can combine with the planet’s leader, Metamorphus Prime, into Igneous Prime.
Circuit Planet: A pseudo cyberformed race track planet built and used by the royal Alpha Q family as a vacation home. Alpha Q was particularly excited to have it restored. Populated by other Quintessons and Transformers who naturally are huge racing nuts, and the planet has something of a rivalry with Velocitron by the time of Cybertron. The ancient Combiner Teams Rallybots and Stunticons hail from this planet, with their presence implying a reservoir of Super Energon is hidden somewhere, but rumored it can only be found by winning the Quintessa Grand Prix. Wheeljack develops a fondness for the planet and coaxes the turbo revving and ultra competitive Stunticons to help the Terrorcons gather Energon.
Ocean Planet: Nicknamed Waterworld by Kicker, it’s a planet seemingly devoid of Dryland, though some aerial recon by Jetfire, Bulkhead, Swoop, and Skyblast shows there are above water land masses. Most of the Energon however is located underwater, where the Autobots have a disadvantage. Sharkticon is in his element here, prowling the waters with Cruellocks and Seacon type Terrorcons. The planet is populated by aquatic lifeforms, in particular the rare but beautiful creatures known as Kluds. The Sub-Atlanticans from G1 reside here and aren’t eager to share their Energon with anyone, but somewhat begrudgingly work with the Autobots as they correctly view Galvatron as the larger threat.
Jungle Planet: A pristine copy of Earth in its prehistory, populated by a cheerful amphibious race and various prehistoric creatures similar to Earth’s dinosaurs and the like. The Dinobots view this place as home away from home, the Dinobot Island equivalent, and it takes a lot of coaxing to make Grimlock want to leave it to help with other matters. The Mercenary Airachnid and the Terrorcon Insecticons along with Slugslinger and the Divebomb Terrorcons prove to be a constant annoyance, that the Dinobots fiercely protect the planet against. Mercenaries Iguanus and his sister Pythona sometimes raid this planet too with Cruellocks, but most of the time it’s just to blow off Galvatron and sunbathe/otherwise goof off.
Plains Planet: A lush grassland populated by wooden robots, affectionately dubbed “Arborbots” by the kids. Botanica is the main representative of these Transformers, and works closely with Kranix and Optimus’ science team. While Energon deposits are plentiful here, the Arborbots don’t use mine for it, instead having the ability to photosynthesize Energon in their bodies from the Energon sun instantaneously. They’re apparently an artificial offshoot of the Omnicons and Terrorcons, developed by Quintesson scientists prior to Planet Q’s destruction in an effort to better refine and gather Energon more efficiently. The Arborbots toywise are similar to the Weaponizer/Armorizor figures and can clip on to make weapons for the Autobots. Some of the Arborbots become prey of the Terrorcon Insecticons, though because of the high concentration of Energon in the wood bots’ bodies, it causes the Insecticons to overload and explode.
Planet Q: Alpha Q, Scorponok and the Terrorcons’ home planet. The Quintessons and Transformers here are actually INCREDIBLY ungrateful for Alpha Q’s hard work, to his shock, as they (somewhat rightfully) blame him for the planet’s original demise. Ousted by new rulers put in place to Kicker and Ironhide’s anger, the new rulers were blind sighted by the return of the Grand Chamberlain/Scorponok, who proceeded to annihilate the capital to excavate the Energon underneath. The rulers sheepishly try to radio the Autobots for help but Kicker initially tells them to fuck off, before Alpha Q and Rodimus takes command of the situation. The denizens are primarily the assorted recolors available of the Terrorcons, and various G1 and Armada character models used as generics. The Quintessons are largely just the G1 models, with a few retooled from Alpha Q’s Sharkticon like body.
Junk Planet: The only new planet in the AU. Literally built from the scraps of other planets digested by Unicron. It was originally a small moon of sorts that coalesced and orbited Unicron as he traveled the cosmos, but when Alpha Q commandeered Unicron’s corpse to recreate planets with Energon, the moon broke off and was exposed to Energon Sun radiation, causing life to begin anew. The result were the Junkions, viewed as sort of the country cousins to the Omnicons composed of scrap metal. Ruled by the cheerful and welcoming Wreck-Gar and the cold, untrusting Rum-Maj, the Junkions are traders and tinkerers by trade, using what they have at their disposal to literally cobble together something out of nothing. Energon is a precious commodity and hard to come by on Junkion, so they’re happy to trade Energon Stars for tools or help. Like G1, they talk TV with a bit of Internet meme culture, making them a bit hard to understand though Kicker, Sally, Dean and Braverman understand them. Wreck-Gar likes to call Kicker and Dean Misha’s and Braverman’s “shipoopi” after the Buddy Hackett song. Misha thinks it’s hilarious, Rum-Maj (also called a shipoopi) finds it endearing, but Kicker and Dean are mortified. The Junkions can Powerlink with each other and the Autobots, with those like Misha, Outback, Braverman, Kranix and Botanica finding the Junkions a biological mystery, being held together by duct tape, willpower and a prayer seemingly.
