#i can't help ending some protective bots in my posts

[raileurta]

Symbiosis

Imagine a universe where humans and Cybertronians are from the same planet; where it's a combination of earth and cybertron just extra big. On this planet organic and inorganic life coexist rather peacefully. A lot of them actually rely on each other. For transformers until they have a human partner they are unable to be a full combat efficiency and they can't really groom themselves. Humans being on a rather large hard to traverse planet with a lot of dangerous creatures is hard for them to protect themselves and travel far distances. There are emotional benefits of course as they are both fairly sociable species who likes having companions.

So every few weeks or so transformers and humans will get together to talk and exchange services. No matter if the Cybertronian is an autobot or a decepticon. During these events bots will try to get a human buddy; with bribes, friendships, anything of the sort.

Humans are quite valuable to the inorganic species considering their ever lasting centuries-long war. So all bots are pretty protective over their human charges. This has led to many problems of bots becoming too controlling and or overly possessive. Which causes humans to be more reluctant to bond with a transformer causing these relationships to be more rare that causes bots to be more possessive over their human(s). It's a nasty cycle that keeps feeding into itself that is definitely going to lead problems down the road but for now things are relatively peaceful.

Transformers requests??? Yes boyyyyyyyyyyy

Could I get a Transformers One triangle between D-16 and Orion with a cybertronian reader who’s been with them through it all 🙏🙏

They’re struggling to choose who to side with cause while violence isn’t always the answer…. Sentinel definitely deserves it, but also (post everything going down) their friends have completely changed and they’re almost unrecognisable.

If you wanna play on possessiveness for D-16 as well cause they’re the only bot who understands what he’s going through and sees his reasoning.

And protectiveness for Orion cause this is his lov- friend, and he can’t let them go down the path D is going down cause he’ll lose another person.

Ending up to you though, I’ve just been desperate for some love triangle mess between my boys 🙏🙏

Orion Pax X Gender Neutral! Reader X D-16

I can't believe this, you're actually my first request ever! I genuinely hope that I did a decent job at this fic.. I hope you like it, enjoy :D !!

“You can’t walk away and act like nothing happened, D, you could’ve gotten us hurt, you could’ve gotten them hurt badly.”  The dazzling lights of the lively city in the darkness of Cybertron reflected on the blue helm of the gentle bot as he spoke in a worried tone, visibly on edge from having to save his most precious companions from getting caught by the guards.

“Just when I thought I could rely on you, you just had to screw it up.” A dangerously low mumble escaped the dermas of the furious bot, fiery orange optics darkening as vivid images of his once adored idol annihilating Cybertron’s glorious Primes. “What do-“ “I wish you could see like me, like them, Orion, but no, you still don’t get it.”

I knew that this would happen, I could see it a klik away, it was indeed inevitable. It correlates to mixing two significantly incompatible substances and anticipating a low-risk outcome. I happened to be the third, more counterbalanced substance in this demonstration.

I cautiously approached the taller bot from behind, the moment my servo touched him, a quiet stillness settled between us, the usual hum of his systems slowing as if my presence alone could calm the storm inside him.. I could feel his stiffened frame relaxing under my digits and his ex-vents releasing a kept huff.

“Don’t be so hard on him, D. You know he cares more than you’ll ever admit... maybe even more than I should.”  I whispered, close enough that only D could hear me, my optics have found themselves on Orion, who seemed to be watching me. D’s optics softening to a certain degree yet displaying a puzzled look, like an internal conflict occurring between seeking vengeance and lowering his defensive walls to his friends, and yet, in that single, silent moment, it was clear that beneath the fury was something raw, something almost vulnerable, and I couldn’t help but feel the weight of his trust in me.

“This doesn’t change anything. It doesn’t change our reality, everything I knew was a lie.”  Frustration boiling up once again at the core of his frame as he choked out the last part while balling his servos into a fist. “I should’ve known..”

I glanced back at Orion, his optics were looking at the distance, deep inside his thoughts. “Sentinel is indeed good at many things, deceiving Cybertron is certainly his leading trait” “If I could only get my fingers around his ventilation cables-“ Narrowed blue optics studying the facial plate of his furious friend as he spouts threats, guilt eating him up from letting his friend end up in this state.

“I’m sorry, D, but this is not a proper way to handle our situation.” Protesting firmly and holding his ground,Orion’s optics darted to the quiet bot before gazing back at D-16. “Can you blame him? Can you blame any of us for wanting to take matters into our own hands...? we can’t live like this for eternity, there are more of us than meets the eyes, right, Orion? You said that yourself.” Something glinted in D’s optics as he gawked at the third bot, a whirling sound leaving his vents, a tingling sensation enveloping his.. spark?

“We can seek justice, not destruction.” “I don’t want justice.” D gritted through his dentas.

“It’s a very violent path you’re choosing, my friend, and I cannot allow you to involve them in your reckless plans and risking their safety.” The air around them tightened, the silver bot’s flaming optics glaring right back at the calm, yet firm ones of Orion’s. “I would never let anything happen to them-“ he turned to me “-so long you stick to my side.” He stated quietly, seeming gentler when his attention was on me, and if I hadn’t been with him for so long, I wouldn’t have noticed that subtle pleading look on him, was he begging for me to stay? My spark pulsed irregularly under his gaze, and though I tried to stay calm, something in the way his optics darkened when he looked at me stirred feelings I hadn’t yet dared to name.

I felt a touch on my shoulder plate, it was firm, but there was a tenderness in the way his servo lingered, sending a warmth through my frame I hadn’t felt in cycles and turning me around. “This is bigger than any of us. I won’t force you to stay, but you must choose wisely.”  His unwavering, yet tender grip on me made me forget about my worries for a moment, looking deep into my eyes. “I promise to fix all of this.”  He comforted in a deep, rumbling voice.

“I know you will, Orion.” I gave him a fragile smile, placing my servo on top of his and giving a light squeeze. His unceasingly furrowed optical ridges' finally relaxed and softer by my touch.

“I can’t believe this, even you? You don’t get to do this to me!” A roaring voice came behind Orion, a wide-open hot optics staring right through me, “I trusted you! I trusted both of you!” He yells frantically while moving towards me and with each step his optics radiate an intense color.

“D.” A warning voice came from the figure in front of me, shielding me from the raging bot as he stomped towards us. “Don’t do something you’ll regret.” For a moment, I forgot about the two bots in front of me bickering and the tension rising severely, our memories together and the bond we shared had perhaps reached its peaking point.

I went around the protectiveness hold of Orion’s and stepped closer to the infuriated bot. “You’re right, D, but I also can’t watch you destroy yourself.”  The words hung in the air; D went silent momentarily while watching me with a puzzled look. “But Sentinel… he’s the one responsible for all of this. He deceived us all.” He said in confusion.

Orion, ever the calm figure, stepped forward. “And we will stop him. But not like this.” “Stopping him isn’t enough. I will kill him.” He growled; the tension reached its peak as D-16 stood daringly. “Then leave, for the sake of our memories that we’ve lived together.” Orion stated, but through the composure he carried, I could see sorrow in the electric blue optics of his. “I will never forget this.” D-16 hissed darkly before taking a good look at me until he turned to walk away, and for good.

“This is too much for me..” I murmured while absently looking at the ground. “It was prone to happen,” Orion was now facing me, his broader torso blocking the view of the retreating bot. Gentle blue servos, almost as big as my helm, cupping my face and rubbing it comfortably. “But it will be alright, because I’m going to be here for you through it all.”

PSA: SCAMS ACROSS TUMBLR.

I have had this on my mind for a long time, but I think given the increase of them lately, it would be prudent of me to share my thoughts.

Be wary of strangers asking for money.

Yes, I am specifically talking about those asks going around claiming to be individuals from Gaza asking for money to get out of there. Let me be frank. Individuals living in a war-torn country would not have easy access to internet, and even if they did, it's highly likely a platform like Tumblr — and more specifically, the roleplaying community — would not be their target audience.

Be vigilant and discerning of asks you receive claiming to be Gazans asking for money. These are scams, point blank. These are scams specifically designed to garner an emotional reaction. They are specifically designed to prey on people's empathy to get money. And more than that, it's very likely these accounts were converted from the p*rn bots that have been suspiciously quiet lately.

These are just like the scam emails we used to joke about from the early internet days. You know the ones that your grandma used to get from a "prince" in Saudi Arabia asking for $5,000 and you had to tell her "No, grandma. That person's not real. They just see a kind-hearted person and want your money". It's the same thing here. The same sort of mass-produced, copy and pasted emotional word vomit you can also find on Facebook groups.

It is so important to verify posts asking for money BEFORE you ever consider donating. Check links, research where those links take you. Even ones that link to GoFundMe should be carefully considered, because anyone can make a GoFundMe. Research who organised it. Do they have an online presence anywhere else? Or do they only have a single picture and nothing else? If it's the latter, it's likely a scam.

Always make sure you are donating to a reputable, legitimate, and vetted fundraiser, foundation, or charitable organisation.

More importantly, don't feel guilty about saying 'no'. These scams will make you feel guilty, because that's precisely the point. Using a humanitarian conflict like the war in Gaza to pull at your emotions is a manipulative tactic and no genuine person seeking help will want you to donate at the cost of your own safety, health, or well-being.

Even if all checks out and the fundraiser is legitimate, do not feel guilty if you can't donate. Do not feel bad if you can't afford to help. We are all surviving in our own wars. For some, that's a legitimate warfare in their own country, for others that might be fighting cancer, and for many, it's as simple and as complex as trying to keep the bills paid so you don't end up on the streets. No one should feel at fault or burdened if they simply can't find the means to donate and no one should make you feel guilty about it either.

Be prudent. Be skeptical. Protect yourself. It does not make you a bad person to be skeptical. It does not make you a bad person to question the legitimacy of a request for money. If there are legitimate places to donate, or legitimate families to assist, then by all means, do what you can to help — even if it's just spreading the word to others. It's okay if that's all you can do.

Don't let scammers take advantage of your kindness.

[monocle-teacup]

I have SOOOOO many gripes about the way Earthspark handled Optimus (and I’ll admit he’s my fav, so I might be a LITTLE bit biased) and your recent posts about the Prime Time ep. just made me think about how much better his character could have been if the writers had just shown him to be struggling. Like, OP in the show comes across as an idiot who doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing, and so he just says Robby and Mo have gotta be Primes and sees nothing wrong with that, but if they had instead written Optimus as someone who was struggling IMMENSELY with the “needing to work with humans but also protect his kind while acknowledging that his kind are much more powerful than humans and blew stuff up on their planet a lot so they don’t have a very good rep and haven’t earned one” and is constantly making mistakes and in Prime Time he just full on admitted that he was WAAAAY out of his depth in this scenario and that he felt like it was very important that they investigate the Cyber-sleeves ASAP and figure out how to help Robby and Mo harness and control their powers and be able to protect themselves (cause like, Swindle would have KILLED Dot and Robby if the shield hadn’t popped up) while also trying to find a way to protect them since Mandroid and other Cons are literally after Robby and Mo because of the sleeves and keep them more under the radar. Anyway, I’m losing my train of thought here, but the writers really missed out on what would’ve been a GREAT arc for Optimus, showing him at odds with the humans (when previously OP and humans have got along great) and out of his depth with Prime powers (as a contrast to how he usually knows this stuff) all around showing a flawed, caring, trying-to-be-a-perfect-leader-but-failing-especially-because-there’s-no-such-thing-as-one Optimus, and how even Optimus Prime needs his team, his FRIENDS by his side to help him out. But instead, we got inconsistent writing that made him out to be an idiot, no moments of vulnerability, and completely isolating him from all other Transformers and not taking the time to develop any meaningful relationships with anybody (SIC Elita-1? Nope, let’s throw that out, she never has any power or influence and only appears in a couple more episodes :)). I’m just…immensely frustrated with this show, because it had some incredibly solid ideas, original plots, and then poor writing/execution completely wrecked what might’ve been.

OP has definitely been handled terribly in ES so far. Some of the fandom think he's shady, but I honestly can't take him seriously because of how often the writers purposely make him into an idiot. Like, how did this Bot lead a whole faction for years in a war? Part of it is the writers usually use OP's dumbass moments to make Megatron look good because they clearly have a bias for Cons. If they want to make OP look bad, have a flashback about the Autobot friendly fire incident.

I was honestly expecting/hoping for an arc for OP like you described and the shame of it is that the show hints at it such as when Dot sees the shady side of GHOST and his line (at the end of the Age of Evolution arc) to Megatron about what the human/TF alliance should be.

I agree on how OP seems incredibly isolated from everyone else except Megatron. In general, the show seems to treat OP as "The Friend Nobody Likes" trope.

This is OP's entry in the show's Production Bible:

As much as it pains me to say it, wasted potential is a perfect way to describe ES. There's a chance that Season 2 might redeem the show, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Hey uh.... Are those mod posts in systemscringe about you supporting p3d02 real?/genq

Unsurprisingly, it's another smear.

Most of it is taking my host's personal post about having complex feeling about his own grandfather out of context. I think anyone who was raised by an abuser knows how messy feelings can be towards family members. And unsurprisingly, being raised in the home of a convicted former abuser, and the former victim who is willingly living there, is equally as complicated.

There is no excuse for abuse. But could there have been things that could have prevented the abuse? That post was my host suggesting that maybe the abuse could have been prevented by societal factors. Maybe if someone with severe PTSD from a war he didn't sign up for had been given proper mental health treatment on returning, things wouldn't have ended up the way they did.

I don't think it's wrong to believe that there could have been realities where someone who was sick was able to recognize that early on and felt comfortable seeking help. And maybe in those realities, some of the victims of abuse wouldn't have been abused.

There's no way to turn back the clock and undo the damage that's already been done. It's too late. But I think it's fair to believe we can work to prevent abuse like this in the future.

My host's comments were about the complexities of growing up with someone you love while knowing they did something horrible to someone else you love, and feeling that society as a whole let both of them down. That since his grandfather wasn't offending later in life, maybe that means his mom wouldn't have been harmed had his grandfather gotten help he needed before he hurt her. That this was a tragedy that could have been prevented.

I feel there's something really gross about using that as a gotcha for a syscourse talking point, but sysmeds never have had much in the way of morals.

To be crystal clear, my position is that pedophilia is a mental disorder, and nonoffenders should feel safe seeking treatment so that they can hopefully live happy, healthy lives without ever offending.

To me, it's also important to differentiate between people with paraphiliac disorders and child molesters. Not everyone suffering from a harmful paraphilia acts on it. And not everyone who molests children suffers from a paraphiliac disorder. Many are opportunists who just target victims who are most vulnerable, and don't have any particular attraction to children. While overlap exists, these are not the same things.

(We have no idea where my host's grandfather falls on this.)

I believe that if you isolate people with paraphilias, make them feel like they can't seek help, they end up with nowhere to turn and will be more likely to offend. Like with most illnesses, you'll get better results from treatment the earlier the intervention is. And ideally, early intervention means fewer children will be harmed.

Because that's the most important thing here. Protecting children from abuse.

This is what I support. Early intervention for nonoffenders to protect children. I don't believe in stigmatizing people just for having a disorder.

With the distinction between people with paraphiliac disorders and child molesters made, can we also talk for a moment about how the r/systemscringe mods are just straight-up supporting accused child molesters?

If you've seen their recent bot posts setup on the sub to try to disprove RAMCOA, it links to articles written by The Grey Faction, an ableist branch of the Satanic Temple aiming to deny the experiences of trauma survivors.

Much of the "research" on that page is coming directly from the now-defunct False Memory Syndrome Foundation.

For those of you who are unaware, Jennifer Freyd, the psychologist behind theories of Betrayal Trauma and DARVO, accused her parents Pamela and Peter Freyd of sexual abuse in the 90s after recalling her trauma in therapy.

Her parents responded by not only denying it, but setting up an organization called the False Memory Syndrome Foundation which was created to prove trauma memories were being implanted, and to take legal action against trauma survivors and their therapists.

If you've ever heard of DARVO as a tactic used by abusers before, know that Pamela and Peter Freyd's founding of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation were the inspiration for DARVO.

It is impossible to overstate the damage this evil organization inflicted on survivors of CSA in shielding their abusers from consequences

So while r/systemscringe desperately tries to paint me as some pedophilia defender, they're aligning themselves with actual child molesters and abusers, spreading the arguments that those same abusers used to discredit their victims.

hey can I Request a headcannon of how the dragons would react to a Kratos like reader who is also the child of Longan?

Scenario: It's taking place near end of the age of dragons story like around the part Snake fruit is getting their crumbs handed to them. but then Longan gets tangled by chaineds and slammed into the island. everybody look at who did that and it was the cookie wearing a old cloak then the cloak cookie says"Longan" As they take off their cloak revealing who they are. "your child has returned. I bring the destruction of your reign!!"

Hi !!! Thx for the suggestion !! Srry I've been kinda dead, I'm becoming obsessed with a jester.. (Yes. Shadow Milk Cookie)

DC/N is your name okay? And also I wanted to give you a little idea to what you could look like!

The bot is gonna take a bit more longer to do so I'll just make a bunch and put them on a post!

꒷︶꒷꒥꒷‧₊˚꒷︶꒷꒥꒷‧₊˚꒷︶꒷꒥꒷‧₊˚꒷︶꒷꒥꒷‧₊˚

The dragon's legacy.

"Ugh.. Thiss cannot be.." Snake Fruit Cookie said, once the power seemed to fade away from them; the snake tried to end the Longan Dragon by absorbing the power of the orb in the palace, it had the life source of all petrified cookies by the other orbs, once they got the other dragons and main crew to destroy it Snake Fruit Cookie absorbed the power and managed to fulfill their plan; Becoming a dragon themselves. Sadly for the Cookie it did not seem to be enough since it was no challenge to the Ivory Dragon to defeat them.

"You are not worthy of receiving a true battle" The dragon said to their once servant. "Begone and do not appear in front of me again... Unless you wish to be crushed into crumbs." Once the snake ran away their attention was back to the other dragons, Pitaya Dragon Cookie being the first talk- or well.. Yell.

"I knew that sssnake would lose right away! Now it'sss our turn." They said, seemingly wanting nothing more than to fight Longan Dragon Cookie as quick as possible, but the mentioned didn't seem to be bothered by it.

"My brethren, it's been a while." Longan said before turning their head to look at the main crew, its expression no longer having that peculiar light it had when talking to the cookie with seeds in their hair. "But before we... Catch up, there seems to be some tiny meddlers to deal with." Even the smallest glance of Longan Dragon Cookie seemed enough to make the cookies shake in fear, the weight of that look was horrible. The dragon then turned their attention to other figure none of them noticed before and before someone could react chains emerged from the floating island, chaining the Ivory Dragon and slamming them to the ground.

"Longan Dragon! I've returned to put and end to your reign" Every other cookie in the place looked around, trying to spot the (probably) next dead cookie. You revealed yourself, taking off your cloak and showing your similarity to the Ivory Dragon itself. "The strong are supposed to protect the weak, not destroy them! And if you can't do that then your child is going to do it. Even if that means fighting you too."

"Wait.. Longan had a child?!" You heard Pitaya Dragon ask to the others; the cookies shrugged but Lotus Dragon nodded. "I've heard of them, never seen them though." Ananas Dragon grumbled in annoyance at that. "You could've just tell us you know Lotus?"

Before anything else could be said a big thunder almost hit you but you managed to block it with your scythe, deflecting it to the sea below. "It's saddening seeing you align with these.. Pests, I taught you better, to be the one who would help with the reconstruction of this world. What a shame." At the sight of the pale dragon getting up the smaller cookies ran away, letting the work of defeat the threat to the other dragons and you. "Of course-" You thought to yourself, sighing a bit. "I'm trying to defend your race and you just leave.." It didn't matter anymore, you prepared yourself and saw the others do that as well.

"The small cookies are escaping... Such insignificant struggles. See my child? That's their nature as the weak species they are. I would not forgive this transgression so easily but it's the first time in a millennium we're together again." They seemed to be calm once more, that was not a good signal "Shall we move to our introductions?"

Before you could even open your mouth the red dragon yelled. "What introductionsss are you taking about?! Sssince when do we need all that?!" Of course Longan, not bothered by Pitaya's behavior continued to speak, even if that made the said dragon fumble under their breath. "The Lychee Dragon seems more quiet than usual.. I assume you're the reason of that." You tried to speak again but was interrupted by Lotus this time, the only thing you did then was crossing your arms and joining Pitaya in the 'Why is everyone ignoring me?' angry club. "That dragon got in our way. Surely that fact shouldn't surprise you, given what happened in the days of old." At that simple mention happy memories started to flood your mind, so much you had to shake your head. "See? That's exactly the reason of this problem, you all just see for yourselves! We're strong and the strong should protect the weak!" To be honest all four seemed to disagree with that, specially Longan and Lychee. "To see our great kin stand side-by-side with those insignificant specks of grain called cookies.. You disappoint me DC/N." Your full name, oh that was no good either.

"Well we had to align with cookies to survive! We would-" You were interrupted AGAIN this time by Ananas who pointed a finger at your direction. "Talk for you! I never allied with those cookies, my only goal it's go return my island to what it once was."

"Where'sss the fun of removing all the cookiesss?! At least leassst leave the ssstrong onesss for me!" Well.. They didn't say yes to a total genocide, maybe you could work with that.

"I do not care if we are dragons alike. I cannot forgive the destruction of my palace." A bit egocentric as well but maybe you could work with that too! Or not, seeing all three fly towards Longan. Pitaya (as usual) being the most exited to do so. "At leasst! We get to fight! I wasss growing tired of waiting!" "Why are you like this?" You asked, following the three of them.

"There is so much to reconstruct on my island. Let's get this over with." The golden one said and you just tried to see the positive side of all this.. Until Lotus talked too. "I did not expect to come fight you here." You resist the urge to facepalm you. "It's truly a shame to see you merely chasing what is right in front of your eyes. You must learn to show restraint.. And sacrifice what you have for a brighter future, isn't that right DC/N?" They were talking about.. No, they wouldn't be so cruel.. Would they? "Nevermind.. You all are the same.. I'll show you how wrong you are Longan." You gripped your scythe as thight as you can before the Ivory one talked again. "Alright then. Show me the extent of your determination.. It will not matter, my plans are infallible."

OC: Asami

I posted this here before but deleted it for some reason I can't remember, but here's one of my OCs. All of my friends say that she acts and looks like a dommy mommy but in reality, she's a huge girlfailure

Name: Asami

Nickname: She can be called Asa, Mimi, Sami, or Ami, but special people can call her “Salami”, “Pastrami” or “Nori”

Age: 23

Eye color: Red

Hair color: Silvery Blonde

Pronouns: She/Her

Sexual and Romantic orientation: Graysexual Demiromantic

Relationships: Asami is in a polyamorous relationship with both RD and Ruolan

(snz stuff)

✦ Asami has a pollen intolerance.

✦ She hides, holds back or stifles her sneezes because she thinks it's one of her many glitches.

✦ RD and Ruolan scold her for stifling or holding back because in all honesty, it just makes her sneeze more.

✦ Speaking of glitches, one of her glitches is her faulty battery. It could appear to be at a high percentage, but she'd end up suddenly shutting down at a random place.

✦ Her sneezes, as described by Ruolan are high pitched" and "girly"

✦ Her sneezes end in "-iew!" sounds (example: hiH'schIEW!!)

✦ Since she sees most patrons in the library do it, it's always been a habit of hers to cover whenever she sneezes.

✦ She always brings around a handkerchief to sneeze into. She prefers them anyways since they feel much softer than tissues.

She was out of comission for quite some time, but was rescued by a girl named Ruolan and a fellow bot named RD when they accidentally discovered her despite their initial plan to practice their craft by spray painting the walls. Because of looters, she had to be brought into parts-and-services to get replacements for the parts she was missing.

(Backstory)

Asami was a prototype made by a company named Obscura. She was originally designed to be a robomaid for those of the elite class, having no purpose other than to just be shown off, pick up after, and fetch items for their master. However, due to her disposition, she was scrapped and abandoned after the scientists deemed her to be a failure.

After getting back up on her feet again, Asami found a job at a local library and assists the sweet old woman there with returning books to their shelves, helping people find books, cataloguing the library's resources, and brewing tea for the old lady

(Appearance)

Asami is a robot that stands at 5 feet and 4 inches. She has a pale complexion but enhances it with red-colored cosmetics. Most notably overly dramatic eye-shadow that reaches up and spreads towards her temples. She also has a little heart shaped mole on her right breast.

However, Asami also has an insecure side to her, herself, believing that her worth is based on how much people like her. She also believes that her mismatched and "scary" appearance is unsightly and gets reasonably upset and refuses to talk when someone points out a flaw or makes fun of her. When it comes to relationships, Asami instantly latches onto the first person to treat her nicely, hence why she is very protective of Ruolan and RD. She doesn't have too much friends either, so she gets upset if the two blow off her invitations to go out, giving into jealousy and paranoiac thoughts easily.

(Personality)

Since she lacks friends and is unwilling to go to places outside of Ruolan's apartment and the library she works at, she's socially inept and comes across as someone who is uptight, cold, and aloof. She also retains her original quick-tempered personality from her creation and is rather opinionated, unable to hold her tongue when someone makes rude or lewd remarks towards her or her loved ones.

When it comes to her likes, Asami is very much into fashion and make up, often spending her free time watching tutorials and practicing on either herself or Ruolan. She also likes to recreate outfits she sees online by looking for and purchasing clothing with similar styles and colors at the thrift store. Due to her love of this stuff, RD has dubbed her the "fashionista" of the their group.

In terms of dislikes, she doesn't like crowds, tight spaces, rain, loud sounds, and the goose in the park that keeps trying to bite her or steal her leg.

(heehee pics of my lil robot daughter)

FRONT, BACK, SIDES

CLOSEUP ON THE FRONT AND BACK

HAIRSTYLES (She usually wears her hair down, but ties it up into a ponytail or bun if she really wants to)

BATTERY (Blue means "optimal" (100%-60%), yellow means "satisfactory" (59% to 16%) and red means "low battery" (15% and lower)

[knight-of-the-round-belly]

Hell yeah! Would love to hear about your ocs!

Oh damn, I was dead for a while, and didn't realize there's such a demand. Alright anon, for you, I'll share some. I have way too many to list all of them, but here's the most used ones. I don't think I'll post pictures yet because I'm very selective on where I post art I commission, but maybe later. Posted under read more because of length.

Leona MacAonghis - My first ever vorish OC, and has a special place in my heart. She's a goliath fighter that started as a D&D character but later got used on other things, and I am in the process of trying to write a story featuring her. She's a typical excitable young hero that tries to do good and help everyone, even if her appetite often gets in the way. Her mentor is extremely disapproval of predators so she couldn't develop her natural abilities when studying under him, but he eventually accepts that part of her, and after she strikes off on her own she starts to train her very high vorish potential too. Physically, she's 2.75 meters (9 legs) tall, with fair skin, green eyes and a red ponytail. Her body type is muscular and curvy with healthy amounts of body fat, and like most of my OCs she has sharp teeth because why not.

Seraph - Lazily named seraph oc, the excuse is that her true name is impossible for mortals to comprehend. She's para-causal in nature and her true form can't exist in the material world, but she can interact with the material realm through an avatar body she creates. She has no physical sex, but chooses to present herself and identify as female. Seraph serves a deity that spends most of it's time in solitude, minding it's own business, so most of the work managing it's realm of creation falls onto her and her fellow celestials. After several billion years of service in the highest planes, she eventually got bored, and curiosity drives her to explore the universe, where she learned from the entities and phenomena she encounters. Most of all she gains an appreciation for mortals, and yearns to understand them, and get close to them in any way she can. She ends up also learning a few vices, primarily gluttony, and has gotten addicted to eating. She solves most of her problems with her mouth, and also prefers to learn about new things by ingesting them. Seraph has a tragic and lengthy backstory in one of her iterations, but I'm too lazy to go into it here.

Lurk/"The Knight" - my self-insert persona and the character in the PFP, a large knight in full white plate armour carrying a greatsword. Mostly exists to be eaten by women I find attractive, including my own or my friends' ocs, but occasionally I do serious stuff with him. Has no concrete backstory.

Betty - former enforcer bot that grew a personality, rebelled, and transed her gender. Now mostly serves herself, but will occasionally still protect her city from threats to fund her illegal body modifications. Purposely replaced her normal batteries with a matter assimilation reactor that acts as a digestive system, and feeds primarily on humans and their property. Because I'm a degenerate and also she exists in a superhero setting, she will sometimes eat a giant monster however, and can temporarily grow larger to fight them because I like mecha stuff.

I have a lot more, but I got lazy. I'll share about them later, this post is already very long overdue.

[gaza-giving-tree]

Can confirm a lot of these are NOT bots, actually. 🙃

A lot of these accounts are real people, going through the worst nightmare of their lives, trying to get help any way they can, with the limited tools they have at their disposal.

Unfortunately there are SOME people who are stealing the information and photos from some Gaza blogs to scam others, but the scam blogs are usually easy to spot; they tend to have a just a PayPal link instead of a fundraiser link (though there have been a couple exceptions to this that I've seen).

Platforms like GoFundMe and Chuffed protect your donations for up to a year, and literally investigate fraudulent activity. That's why you'll see scammers using PayPal instead.

A lot of actual people do copy/paste the same message because they have limited time/phone battery/internet connection and are trying to find as much help for their families as they possibly can. Mutual Aid blogs like @gazavetters are trying their best to tell people to not do this, to cut down on this type of posting and messaging.

They are trapped in a war zone, many with no source of income available because infrastructure in Gaza has been almost completely decimated. A lot of people are literally surviving off their fundraisers right now, because they have no other source of income and there are no jobs around in a place that has been heavily bombed and destroyed. But they still have to pay astronomical amounts for food and medical bills (and even rent, in some cases)! Which is why they're asking for money.

That's why I started this page: to help promote people who have been vetted by others within the mutual aid community on this site. I talk to them, document their realities, try to present as much factual information about them as I can, so these people can hopefully get help, not be met with skepticism or vitriol from others.

Can you really blame them for getting frustrated, after being ignored for months on end by the majority of people they reach out to?

Also, I get so many messages a day from these blogs. Not once have I gotten anyone threatening to kill themselves or others over not receiving help. I HAVE gotten messages saying they will most likely die without help, though! Which is, unfortunately, the reality a lot of people in Gaza are living in. It's NOT self-inflicted; they're being relentlessly bombed and starved, and aid from charities is difficult for them to even receive because a lot of aid is not even being ALLOWED into the area right now.

Imagine being trapped in the worst nightmare of your life, trying to do your best to survive, and people say you're a scam artist for reaching out for help.

Take a look at my blog; you'll find a lot of REAL people here! One family I've written about is so real they ended up on Al-Jazeera TWICE. That's pretty difficult to fake! You can see the articles I've written for them, [HERE] and [HERE]. 🙃

Also, blogs like @gazavetters are NOT bots. They actually talk to these people, look at their legal documents, verify their identities, then add the vetted people to a list, which they maintain and adjust as needed.

Like yes, use your brain and investigate before you give anyone your money. That's common sense.

But please don't go around spreading misinformation because starving people living in a war zone, asking for help, makes you uncomfortable.

You can choose to look away. They can't escape the reality they're being forced to live in.

I guess here’s your daily reminder that it’s okay to block and report gaza scam bots. yeah, those annoying ones in your DMs and inbox with the same copy paste story and formatting starting with “hello dear” or “hello beautiful soul”. those annoying ones that are now threatening to kill themselves and their children unless you post their asks and donate $20 to them. yeah, those ones are scammers guilt tripping you and profiting off of your kindness and real Palestinians who are being killed babes.

(and if you can, donate directly to organizations you know and trust, but that’s not some bots pretending to vet other bots on tumblr dot com)

[awakeningthevioletswithin]

It's not like I don't know that I'm annoying and it seems never to end. I get it. I know. My mom's health and financial issues became a crisis in May 2018. Our dog Sadie nearly died. And from tumblr I received such support. I found support I didn't receive from my physical community. I admit I was scared and ashamed so maybe I would have received more support than I ultimately did.

In March 2019 I became homeless. I left my childhood hom with some clothes and art supplies and that's it. I couldn't grab my birth certificate or social security card or passport or a picture of my grandfather, I had to give up our dogs, which kills me and makes me feel like I deserve nothing good ever again because I couldn't protect them and take care of them.

I slept in airbnbs mostly until I found someone who couldn't afford their rent in the neighborhood I knew. I honestly can't tell if it's an Aspergers thing or a trauma thing or a doesn't drive and so proximity to the art supply stores and access to groceries is important. I honestly haven't found a therapist able to help me untangle much. I only lived in that house from June until September. A lot of awful things happened to me in that house. I thought I could manage this dude but I didn't know about violent drunks. My mom sheltered me from that kind of thing. I knew they existed but I didn't understand. It's a different thing when intimidation lives in the house. He threatened my life for drinking money and one of his sorta drinking buddies said I could stay with her. That was unpleasant. Then I was able to rent a place. Downstairs was the owner's father but he was only there on weekends. I moved in October of 2019. I had nothing. I slept on the floor. A follower paid most of my 2nd and 3rd month's rent, she also bought me a bed, the place I spend almost all of my time (I paint in bed.) I moved in knowing the house was going to be torn down, it was only a 3 month lease. Ultimately I lived there for 11.5 months when I was 100% illegally evicted but having another place was worth everything to me.

During that 11 months the world changed. A pandemic occured. My mom made strides in rehab. I let myself have another dog. I tried and gave up therapy for a 3 time. I lived with constant uncertainty about being homeless again from March until September.

I actually had a two week gap in housing I had paid for so slept on a horrible couch in a windowless room in the landlord's adult son's house. I couldn't sleep there and my dog wouldn't eat.

This isn't to gain sympathy or engender outrage or blame, it's to explain why I'm no longer like a normal person (if I ever was) and why I haven't been able to just be okay now.

I've had so milestones that I'm so proud of and wouldn't have occurred without my tumblr community's support. I sold the largest piece I've ever sold, I sold to a public collection, The Free Library of Philadelphia, I passed 25,000 followers and not one of them is a bot (I check.) I also had an 80 day period without a single sale then a big one and then another 47 day dry spell.

Further, I haven't received a stimulus check, not one, I didn't have a permanent address. I don't have a credit history and I don't have certain types of ID. I applied for PUA and as of November 15th my claim is still pending. Also post move an isolated care facility had stopped being safer than home. People were getting vaccinated but outbreaks were becoming a feature rather than a bug.

Her social security being changed in payee back to her had been made impossible but identity verification stuff. So I'm wholly supporting my mom which means meds and copays and of course food and clothing and stuff she needs because she lost her home since 1981 too, heavily due to her inability to participate in a legal process.

I know it seems like I should have recovered by now. I feel like I should have but my financial situation is the worst it's ever been. I would never have been able to have basic necessities without support from my followers. We had literally exhausted the neighborhood food pantry and wouldn't have had anything to eat a couple of times.

I've tried to get pandemic housing assistance but it has been dead ended at my landlord's desk. I'm months behind in rent and the stress is literally making me sick. And I wish I were better too.

Unrequited Destiel...

The Legend of The Sun and The Moon

I just wanted to explain in a few words to those that are asking why Dean didn't reply to Cas or why is Jensen talking about angelical way to feel things.

I know they're a lot of post saying WE TOLD YOU THIS AND THAT, and is true. Because if you read my Destiel Chronicles from the beginning, you will see I ALWAYS CALLED THE UNREQUITED LOVE FROM CAS AND DEAN'S POV.

Some of you disbelieves this idea, but is the only way to intepretate why Destiel is the slowest slow burn ever.

No more intro, let's suffer together...

Season 4 and 5 JUST A FLIRTING GAME

Once Dean was pulled out from Hell, Castiel wanted to talk with him. He didn't wait a second. Things blew and it was messy, and even Bobby was scared that that thing would hurt his idjit. But it was just Cas, trying to speak with Dean, desperately trying to reach him in his true form. Why? Because he wanted to talk with him. He had to explain Dean's mission but also, he felt fascinated. And even more after their first meeting face to face when he was finally able to find a vessel.

And Dean just it took him just a little of his time to feel the same fascination. The almighty angel, that could see right through his soul.

But also the angel that said things like...

And we have the handprint too, such an intimate sign between these two.

Castiel showing him, honestly showing him with words and actions, his special interest on him:

"My superiors begun to question my sympathies. I was getting too close to the humans in my charge. You."

How would Dean take this here? The poor guy just decided to check out the angel, and speechless as he was at that moment, couldn't reply to it. "Is he flirting with me? Does he know how gay this sounds?"

Then Cas rebel against Heaven for Dean. Dean pushed him, the whole he pushed Cas to help him. If you rewatch season 4 Dean is constantly asking Cas to help him. Because he already know Cas was different. Because he felt Cas was his friend, his ally, and something else it was growing up in his chest.

While Cas pushed him against the wall, cut his forearm and drew the sigil, Dean's face is full of awe. He can't believe this soldier powerful angel is doing this for him.

And then... "We're making it up as we go."

The beginning of season 5 is a very busy Cas searching for God, but also, the flirtation begins. Dean is like a cute boy flirting with his crush. The second meaning jokes, trying to figure out if Cas catch it is hilarious. But he will understand 'Cas doesn't understand that reference.'

From Dean's POV in these two season, we coul under he thinks angels are junk less.

Season 6: The profound Bond and the Longing

The romantic feeling from both sides began to flow even more when Castiel goes into the black side, and the first Destiel break up appears infron of our eyes in the middle of a very romantic scenes.

Gif credit @starlightcastiel

Gif credit @inacatastrophicmind

The last gif is out of discussion, bot men looking at each other with sad eyes, longing and as if their conversation isn't over. Dean being disappointed at Cas and Cas trying to make him see his point. Everything he does, he does it for Dean.

And now we know why it is.

Season 7: Mourning Dean and the Jealousy

Even with Showrunner Sera Gamble trying to focus Dean's morning into a Wincest subtext, we had put king Ben Edlund came to the rescue in episode 7x09.

Putting things in order, we were faced with Dean's source of depression: Castiel's death.

So, after that, when Cas really comes back, the reunion is another romantic movie. The MEMORY LOST trope.

And then... Castiel's pseudo wife...

The trope is getting better with the spicy Jealousy in Dean's eyes.

Gif credit @impalaofgrace

So he can't completely enjoy Cas is back because:

1) He doesn't remember him: so, how can be mad or anything else if Cas doesn't remember any details of their break up?

2)The guy has a wife! Okay, so, he has a wife, he easily got a wife from... Nowhere?

And then Meg comes and he is Jealous all over again!

Dean is a really mess of feelings, but in the end, when Cas recalls everything, and when I say everything, i mean Dean, because the majority of his memories was him, Dean just pulls out from his car Castiel's bloody trenchcoat and gives it him back!

So, if there was any doubts about why was Dean mourning and depressed for, we have the confirmation!

Then, let's turn the page, because now is Cas the mess... Depressed and suffering, because he almost destroy heaven, but, do you know what cares the most to Cas and when he cheers up? Yes...

When Dean says... "I RATHER JAVE YOU, CURSED OR NOT" Castiel immediately changed his face, he smiles, and kept staring at Dean with heart eyes. He was happy because Dean was forgiving him. Because since he recovered his memories, the biggest cause of it was Dean's rejection. Dean not being able to forgive him. That was the main cause of his sadness. That's why he avoided reality, he didn't have a cause, because his cause was Dean and Dean was mad at him. But now? Cas is happy again. That's why he decides to come back to battle. "I'll go with you."

Season 8 Purgatory of love and Pining!Dean

Okay, is in this season, Carver era, when Dean's POV has a turning point about Castiel and his true feelings for him and is in this season, when Dean starts pining strongly for the angel, and feeling his love is unrequited.

The cause of it, is Purgatory. The Purity about Purgatory resided in the capacity of that place to resides in abolish every human necessity to let the mind to focused in what really matters. In this case for Dean was SURVIVE AND CAS.

So we can say that what remained pure in Dean's heart was TO FIND CASTIEL.

That's why he prayed to him every night, and that's why in the moment Cas CONFESS he ran away to protect him, something in Dean changes forever.

Gif credit @agusvedder

If you pay attention to Dean's face reaction here, is the expression of the man that realizes in that precisely moment his feelings for Castiel. Even Cas stares to a side, because there was Benny watching them, and the thing he was about to say it was too intimate. I did it to protect you.

Dean, the Big Protector, is being protected by Castiel. So, in Purgatory, Dean Winchester find out his not platonic love for his best friend.

Then we had the entire season with pining!Dean and deception.

Dean's mind invented one excuse for Castiel running away from him because thinking his best friend abbandoned him, was just too painful. He does this again when Cas pushed him inside the gate and he stays in Purgatory. Dean just rewrote in his mind the whole sequence. Imagining that Cas was defeated. But the reality was, Castiel wanted to stay. And when Cas reveals this truth to the hunter, Dean's face is a mix of deep sadness and deception. He felt really rejected by his friend. He felt his unrequited romantic love for him. But he will feel it more stronger in the crypt scene, with the brainwashing and how Castiel's love for Dean broke th connection. But he left. That was a real rejection the hunter barely could handled.

Season 9: Pinning!Castiel and Human!Cas

When Cas became Human, he has to face all the intensity of human's feelings. In this season, is time for our angel to realize his romantic love for the hunter.

Castiel will mirroring Dean's pining in season 8, and he will also feel rejected by him.

Just like Dean in season 8, Castiel will feel his romantic love is unrequited, after Dean kicked him out from the bunker, being this the parallel to the crypt scene.

But then Cain's mark comes, and everything gets worst.

Season 10: Castiel is Dean's Colette

The whole Cain's mark was the visual sign of the Destiel handprint (profound bond) attempt of break.

With Cain and Dean going through a perfect parallelism in which Crowley was placed in the friend's spot, Sam in the brother's spot and Castiel in Colette's spot. Blatant and canon exposure of what Cas means for Dean.

But now, is time for Dean, after came back for being a demon, to feel unrequited again. And this is a detail that could be not seen, but it caught my attention.

CASTIEL: At least temporarily. It’s a long story. Crowley, stolen grace. There’s a female outside in the car.

This is what Castiel says when he goes into Dean's room and after Dean praises him...

Gif credit @inacatastrophicmind

Dean had been with Crowley when he was a demon this whole time, so Cas was heartbroken. Even this season opens with a very depressed Castiel in the bed just let himself die because Dean was gone. So, that's why Cas says this.

So you went with Crowley, i have a female in my car. See? I don't need you.

He was Jealous, and now Dean gets Jealous, but he also gets the sensation again of his love for Castiel is unrequited.

The episode that followed this one, Dean goes into a blind date with random chick he took from a date app (very ooc, but he did it because he had his heart broken and because he thought CAS had cheated on him while he was gone as a demon.)

Season 11: Dean resist a forced bond with Amara because he's bonded with Castiel

Season 11 is a blatant exposure of Dean's feelings for Castiel. There a lot of hints throughout the season telling us Dean is in love, just like in season 9 there was hints of this with Castiel. (Again, mirroring each other).

Dean resisted Amara because of his love for Castiel. But Cas is oblivious about this.

When Castiel is possesed by Lucifer, Dean switch's into desperate mode. If he was worried about his attraction for Amara, now the only thing he cares was Castiel, exposing again WHO DEAN IS IN LOVE WITH.

But when Dean wanted to rescue Castiel, and Cas didn't want to come back to him, it hurt him worst. Again, just like in season 8, Dean can't handle Cas doesn't want to come back with him (first from Purgatory and now from being possesed). Again Dean feels rejected and unrequited. That's why when Cas is back and the end of the world is close... Dean says these words...

"You're our brother, Cas. I want you to know that."

And Cas' face...

Gif credit @mad-as-a-box-of-frogs

That's a man with the heart broken, mostly because we know now he was in love with Dean CANON FACT! (sobbing louder).

Season 12 and the confusing I LOVE YOU

This season was full of married couple situations, but mostly, we had Castiel's I Love You in the barn, before "dying".

At first Dean thinks the angel was saying this as goodbye, expressing into words his feelings for the Winchesters. Because as and angel, maybe Cas was feeling he has to protect them all. But then he says this singular I Love You to Dean, and the guy doesn't know how to take it. It was a platonic ILY? A non platonic ILY? Does angels feel the same like us? Does he sees me as a brother? Dean was truly a mess, so he decides to respond to that with a Mixtape.

But, when Castiel disappears for days, he sinks again into that sensation of unrequited romantic love.

Then Cas comes back, and then he goes away again, and then he dies.

Season 13: The reunion and the meaning of Castiel coming back

Dean's mourning for Cas can't be interpreted otherwise than LOSING THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE.

And the longing for his angel plus some Nougat powers, brought him back.

The thing is, Dean didn't expr as his feeling for Castiel and when the angel asked him that he needed to believed that he came back for a reason, Dean goes...

Gif credit @inacatastrophicmind

This sound like if he was recruiting Cas for war. And Cas' took it as that. So he came back to soldier angel mode. Because, okay, if Dean and Sam needed him to fight, he will fight.

Unrequited Love again.

Season 14 Healing Dean and the prelude of the break up

Post-possesed Dean is a follow up of self knowledge and self growing. He was healing the whole season.

But in episode 14x04 we heard Dean being Jealous or hurt because Castiel didn't go to rescue him and then because he goes into hunts with Jack. Unrequited love again.

Did Cas miss me as I missed him?

Is the first time Dean will actually name the word LOVE talking with the kid.

And then Mary dies and everything is a mess.

Dean yells YOU ARE DEAD TO ME, and how sad that sounds now that the angel had died again. Saving his life.

Dark clouda over our ship...

Season 15: And Maybe is not too late...

In season 15 we lived the angst of the Destiel break up, but then their reunion in Purgatory was beautiful.

Again, facing the fact that he could lost Cas one more time, Dean went down on his knees and prayed to him, and because he was in Purgatory, his heart and mind were released from any distraction, and he was plenty focused in the love he feels for his angel.

He cried, and begged for him to come back.

And he found him, following his heart, the profound bond he has with Castiel.

But, when he was about to say something that he hadn't said in the prayer, Castiel cut him off. So... Again the hunter had to swallow his words and the unrequited love punch him again.

Then... Castiel's romantic love confession took Dean by surprise, because, now that you read all the clues i gave you and i convinced you that Dean and Cas thought their love were unrequited, you will understand Dean's reaction.

Gif credit @spnsmile

Dean didn't can't believe Cas had loved him the way he does this whole time and now, he will lose him again. Is too much pain he can't handle.

For a lot of reasons we had analyzed so many times (Dean's arc has to have a closure expressing his ILY to the angel, the Empty plot is not ended, Etc) Is logical to think Cas will come back in the last episode, and this slow burn story will end with them being together, finally.

To Conclude:

The legend of the Sun and the Moon talks about two lovers that can't be reunited but they love each other deeply.

Is accurate with Destiel, because these two men had always being pining for each other but never be able to be together as they wish.

Castiel always thinking Dean doesn't reciprocate his romantic feeling for him and Dean thinking because Cas is an angel, he doesn't love him back romantically.

The Sacred Oath always playing in Castiel's POV as an impediment too and Dean's love clocked in shame too.

The deal with the Empty had been settled as we suspected in season 14, as a romantic plot. So, it has to have a closure.

These thoughts are based on the volumes from my assay "The Destiel Chronicles", currently in it's 87th volume.

See you soon! Have faith!

Destiel Is Forever!

[earthstellar]

This is so good. This is my exact favourite shit, right here!!!

Oh god, just wait until one of the kids needs their tonsils, wisdom teeth, or appendix removed.

Like, oh shit

Jack has to get his wisdom teeth pulled and ends up getting sedated for it, his mom brings him back to base so that everyone else can keep an eye on him because she has to go back to work

And Ratchet is just like wait, wait, why is he so heavily sedated?? Is the procedure serious enough to warrant-- OPTIMUS, CONTACT HIS MOTHER IMMEDIATELY, JACKSON IS LEAKING THE HUMAN "BLOOD" FROM HIS MOUTH, IT IS A VITAL FLUID

Miko is like, trying to help swap out the gauze in Jack's mouth because she's less grossed out by all the spit and blood, meanwhile Raf is desperately trying to explain how wisdom teeth removal works to a bunch of increasingly alarmed bots

Arcee instantly becomes ferally protective and is enraged that she can't help Jack, she's just pacing back and forth in between keeping the closest eye possible on all the bloody gauze Miko is trying to replace while wearing disposable gloves that are too big for her hands (they're adult sized ones June left behind as part of Jack's recovery care kit that she left with them) so it's a mess

All the bots are horrified, Ratchet is equally as stressed out as Arcee is, meanwhile Jack is still out of it so he's saying shit like "optimus my mom has a crush on you. don't tell her I told you, also don't touch my mom. PROMISE. promise you won't. no touching. show me your HANDS"

and Optimus just turns to Ratchet like "ah, this is the temporary delirium humans seem to experience following certain medical interventions. I believe we have seen similar behaviour in Agent Fowler on multiple similar occasions."

but Ratchet is too busy grilling Raf and sending approximately one hundred text messages to June simultaneously. "how much blood loss is typically expected post-procedure? does volume need to be monitored? MISS DARBY PLEASE RESPOND, MIKO DON'T THROW ANYTHING AWAY I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED THAT"

Miko's like "Bulk!!! Look at all this icky gauze!! It looks like an album cover!!!" and Bulkhead is just like MIKO NO

Jack eventually just falls asleep with his head rolled back over the sofa and Arcee is Extremely Distressed because she briefly thinks he died and this causes a fucking panic, Ratchet may or may not have instinctively set off his own sirens in a deep seated urge to Get The Boy to The Hospital Now (he then decides to just scan Jack for basic vitals every ten minutes, just to be extra sure he's OK)

by the time June gets off shift and shows up at the base, Ratchet is holding Raf in his hand like a small comfort animal over by his terminal helping him look up Oxford Clinical Handbooks for ENT/dental surgery and every bot aside from Optimus is visibly anxious and exhausted

June is like "thank you for looking after him, I hope he didn't embarrass himself too badly" and Arcee just gives her this haggard look, LMAO.

Ratchet is so tired that he immediately hands her a long list of medical textbooks that he wants provided to him as soon as possible, Fowler already approved a budget for medical resources, don't ever do this to us again, humans are too delicate to survive and your species fundamentally should not exist, I am discharging Jackson back into your care

Optimus walks up to her and just honestly says "Jackson is thankfully doing well as far as we are able to determine, although our lack of experience with human medical needs resulted in some temporary confusion at times. However, he spoke of you having a 'crush' on me. I do not believe crushing me is possible due to our difference in stature and weight; Have I done anything to warrant feelings of aggression? He expressed some concern that I may physically engage you in some manner. I assure you, we will continue to defend the children's lives with our own, and I intend no harm towards you or any native lifeforms."

and June has to explain what a crush is and it is Rough

total chaos, the only person who had some kind of fun was Miko because Blood is Cool, and maybe Raf because riding in Ratchet's palm is kinda fun even if it's also kinda scary

I love thinking about this kind of shit LMAO

Human biology vs. Cybertronian functions.

[light-n-dark-au]

TW Zombie apocalypse and everything that comes with it

Alrighty! I'm moving the lore posts over here now, Hope you guys don't mind-

Fleeing The Complex

Depending on which ending you got in Infiltrating The Airship you can end up in three different starting scenarios!

Ruthless Bounty Hunter (RBH)

Henry stays under the Lights protection for a few months, staying with Charles since he didn't really have anywhere else to stay and Charles offered his place.

Before Charles and Rupert managed to rope Henry into their small rebellion against the misinformation the light government was spreading.(This is why they changed) Charles had become infected whilst out hunting for supplies with Rupert, but before Charles could convince Rupert to end him a Grey appeared and convinced them both to have Charles take the CCC's medicine. It saved his life, they've been planning some sort of escape/rebellion ever since.

They tried to spread their word discreetly at first but as their numbers grew they began to get cocky and tried a full on "peaceful" march...it didn't end well-

People began rioting and the Disciplinary squad had to get involved, Rupert was killed in the chaos and both Charles and Henry were arrested.

The Light government are planning on executing Charles along with the other members they managed to arrest as an example...Henry was going to be sent to the CCC.

The New Member (TNM)

A Toppat double agent (Ellie) was discovered and imprisoned by the Lights so Reg ordered Henry and a group of Darks to go rescue her. The mission didn't go too well and Henry was captured...the rest were killed.

The Lights were planning on selling poor Henry back to the CCC.

The Freed (TF)

After finding out they had been betrayed the Lights began hunting Henry and his small group down.

They put a bounty on his head that no one could refuse...even a few Greys were going after the group.

Whilst running away from a group of Light scavengers Dave tripped over a root, before anyone could do anything one of the Lights was pointing a gun at Dave's head.

They demanded for Henry to be passed over or they would kill poor Dave.

So Henry willingly allowed himself to be captured...much to the dismay of his new friends/family.

.....

Ellie is a double agent working to recruit new members into Darks ranks from the "doubters" of the Lights side.

She managed to keep a low profile for a while, until she was caught after trying to recruit a generals daughter.

The Wall is Lights most secure building. It's mostly used to hold Lights most dangerous "criminals" but it also holds important supplies like food and ammo.

The Light's city's have taken up most of America... So the food bank Henry tried to steal from was for a small town...The Wall brings supplies to Light's largest city-

Convict Allies/Ghost Inmate

RBH: Charles is the one who gives Henry the leg up during this timeline.

If Henry leaves them both then the ending will play out normally...however afterwards he finds out that Charles had been executed. Unknowingly to him however Ellie manages to escape, swearing revenge on the man who left his allie to die.

However if Henry pulls them both up (He cannot leave Ellie behind...even if he tried Charles would pull her up instead, because he's nice? Idk-)

The ending plays out normally until after the end...where Ellie offers a place in Darks ranks, Henry refuses of course because he knows for a fact the group would kill him on sight after what he did to Reg but allows Charles to leave with Ellie.

Charles doesn't really want to leave his friend behind so he also denies her offer.

Ellie then decides to travel with them...she still wants to help the "doubters" trapped within the Lights walls...the other two agree to this and they begin their self assigned mission.

TNM: Leaving Ellie behind results in a fail ("Remember your mission...Jerk-")

Convict Allies ends with the duo being picked up by the Toppats after escaping on their motorcycle.

TF: Ghost Inmate plays out normally until Henry gets to the end...turns out Henrys group is coming to rescue him as he can see a helicopter in the distance, Henry uses the dingy to get to them.

Convict Allies plays out in a similar manor. During the riot a damaged helicopter is seen flying over the field and crash landing into a nearby forest.

After escaping on the motorcycle they drive over. Luckily most of the group is relatively unharmed, the most serious injury was Charles concussion...however Hubert didn't make it.

After getting shot down by a guy with a gun Charles prepared the others for an emergency landing. The others strapped in, but Charles was having trouble with strapping himself in, so Hubert went to help him with it, but couldn't get himself strapped in before impact...

The group bury the general before moving on...

Presumed Dead

RBH: Henry runs off suddenly... Leaving Charles behind. The ending plays out normally.

However behind the scenes, Charles and Ellie use the distraction Henrys escape caused to escape themselves...Charles isn't too pleased at being left behind...

TNM: Auto fail ("Do.Not.Leave.Ellie.Behind.")

TF: The ending plays out normally until the car chase scene, Henry spots a familiar looking helicopter crash landing into the forest next to him.

The ending continues and after Henry pulls himself over the ledge...he goes to check on his friends...

Meanwhile the guards are going over to check on the other crashed vehicle, Rupert noticed the guards coming for them and got the others to leave without burying Hubert...he rigged the helicopter to blow in order to make sure the guards didn't follow them...unfortunately this worked on Henry as well...and he believed his friends were dead-

As they believed him to be dead-

Rescued

RBH: Auto fail!

Charles is executed and Henry is given back to the CCC, The option is renamed "Give Up" during this timeline- ("Well...that was smart")

TNM: Option unavailable

TF: The ending plays out normally... However since there were three gun trained men on the aircraft Rupert manages to take out the rocket launcher guy...so the correct option is switched-

The Sacrificed/Betrayed

RBH: :)

TNM: Henry uses the laser cutter to first free Ellie who is convineintly in the cell next to him, before cutting into the floor below.

The ending plays out normally after this until Henry is riding his scooter towards the airship.

Reg only manages to grab Henrys hand and Henry has to grab Ellie's, Reg states that he can't hold onto them both so Henry has to choose who lives.....

For The Sacrificed ending Henry pulls Ellie onto the edge of the platform Reg is standing on before his hand slips out of Regs and Henry falls into the ocean.

For The Betrayed ending Henry let's Ellie's hand slip out of his...Reg believes it to be an accident, or that Ellie sacrificed herself for Henry...but she knows the truth...HE let her fall-

TF: option unavailable

Whooo boi that was a long one!!!

Though I do have a lot of endings to play with now-

Onto Completing The Mission!!!

(Also If you have any ideas for uh...the different endings plz tell me, my creative juices are running out- I will give you credit for em! Honest!)

[ayyy-imma-ninja]

Early January 2023, I was going through a really rough time. My gran had taken a fall and broken her hip and I was left alone to take care of her. I remember laying in bed one day and my mind had wandered back to the Ask Sun and Moon series by Shandzii, in which a friend of mine (Corey Wilder) had voiced Moon. I was hit with a sudden urge to watch each episode again. And did so, on loop, for several days.

I honestly don't know. They just seemed so...whimsical. Silly. Watching content about them made me forget the stress of dealing with a hospitalized family member. It made me feel...good. Safe. Especially when age regressing.

Since early January 2023

I have not played the game itself; I find it more fun to watch others play it, honestly

I guess the current animatics I have posted, along with the Fairy AU

anything that tells a good story, honestly.

Oh god that's a tough one. Assuming I can't choose my own, some of my faves are Sleuth Jesters, Bethroned, DCA!Candyland, and the Bean Eclipse AU. I can't list them all, sadly QwQ

I have Feebee. I need to flesh her out more someday QwQ

It's cute in an uncanny way. I admire anyone who can write them conveying emotion without actually facial emoting. For drawing purposes I prefer making them emote (I love drawing expressions)

Seeing everyone's different takes and headcanons on the characters, what stories they can tell. It's amazing that so many people have created amazing projects and works of art based off limited knowledge.

That's really hard QwQ I would love to play and do crafts with Sun, but he could be overstimulating. Moon is a gremlin, and a possible threat, and he'd be forcing me to sleep when I don't want to >w< If I had to pick one, I think it would be Sun.

Canon Eclipse: baby boy, must be protected. SAMS Eclipse: get this man some help /aff

may have loved his job, and did it well. Happy-go-lucky, fond of kids, not so fond of adults.

same as Sun, did his job well. Silly gremlin who snatches up kiddies to tuck them in and tell them stories.

I've always personally seen them as two separate beings, but I've seen others who depict them as the former. I don't think one or the other is the be-all, end-all. Just a matter of preference

I guess more platonic relationships with Y/Ns, or queer-platonic at most. Not that there's anything wrong with romance! I see a lot of it or implied romance time to time and it gets a bit much.

Drama. That's it. Just less drama in general.

Hopefully a game or DLC just about the Daycare Attendant. What they were like pre-virus, how they interacted with kids, if they were really theater bots before getting re-programmed. I want to know more about their story.

As long as boundaries are set I'd think so X3 I'm also a bit of a pushover-

Liiiights on, keep them up or I'm gone, we can play until dawn, color out of lines with craaayon~

alright dca fandom, here's some questions bc i'm curious. the funky jesters make our brains go brr, but why? treat it as an ask game or answer in the tags if you feel like it! :)

how did you get here?

why these characters in particular? what was the hook for you?

how long have you been here?

have you actually played fnaf sb?

if you make content, what's your favorite piece you've contributed?

what's your favorite sort of art or fic? what genre/flavor/style?

what's your favorite au?

do you have any ocs, or have any ocs you're fond of?

what do you think of the dca's canon appearance? Scary? Cute? Something else?

what keeps you in this fandom despite the very small amount of canon content the dca had?

be honest: if you had to pick only one, sun or moon?

thoughts on eclipse?

thoughts on pre-glitch sun?

thoughts on pre-glitch moon?

do you interpret sun and moon as two sides of the same person, or truly two separate beings in one body? does it matter?

what's something in the fandom you'd like to see more of?

what's something in the fandom you'd like to see less of?

anything you're looking forward to?

do you think you'd actually get along with the dca if you met them irl?

free space! talk about whatever's on your mind!

{ Yeah So My Brain Miraculously Decided To have motivation and Did a Full blown Story with Pictures So Here Ya Go!

*Note: Some of the pics used are screenshot redraws. }

🌀Vortex 🌀

Terrible. Absolutely Terrible. How could things Go So Bad?

The Tobot Crew had Awoken To a start. The Princess had Gone Missing! Onyx was the first to realize she was Missing when she didn't come out for breakfast that Morning. At First The Eldest Kept it to himself as he searched around the Junkyard, Hoping he'd Just find her Hiding or sleeping in a Random Place again. Whenever he didn't have to Worry his little Brothers the better. But After a while of Searching he Began to get concerned.. and So Did His siblings.

It was obvious that this was going to be an unavoidable Conversation, So He told Rox and Zephyr the News. Zephyr was the first to Panic.

" WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PRINCESS D: "

Zephyr Exclaimed as he Flared his Arms around in worry. How Could she be Missing?! She was Just here Last Night.. Why would she Leave? Now she's Lost in the city with who knows what lurking around the next Bend.

Rox was also Wildly Concerned for the Princess, But Handled it a bit better for Zephyr's Sake. Though he Put on a Brave Face he couldn't Hide the worry in His Tone as he Looked to Onyx.

" If we Hurry, we Might be able to find her- Right? I'll Do a Sweep of the entire City If I Have too.. W.. We'll definitely Find her.. No Matter what.. Right..?"

Onyx Looked to Rox and Zephyr and saw the complete Desperation in their Optics.. Glinting threw their Masks and Visors. He didn't Know where The princess could be or What has become of her.. But he Isn't going to Let Those negative Thoughts get to him. He has to be Strong.. for the Princess- And For his Brothers. He Gave a Swift Nod to Rox and Zephyr before responding and taking Charge of the Matter.~

" We Are going to find her, But we'll Need to broaden our Search by splitting up. Rox, You Go North towards the City Shops And Keep an eye in the sky. Remember, She likes to Avoid Contact with others so keep close attention on the Side-streets. Zephyr, You Head South towards The Villages and see if she's at any of her usual Alone-time Spots. I'll Head towards the Woodland Area where she Goes to find lost things. And keep Your Comm units up."

The Two Smaller Bots Nodded before Transforming into their Alts and Zooming off to Go Look for the Princess. Before he Left he Glanced Around the Junkyard.. Something Was giving him a Bad Vibe that something was going to happen As soon as he Left this place.. He wasn't sure about why he was feeling this way, But He wasn't going to take it lightly.

/// *I'll Just Have to Keep my Guard Up..*\\\

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It Had Been Over 2 Hours since the Squad had been Searching For Their Little Lost Princess.. And there was No Luck Or Clue to her whereabouts At All. Rox had Circled the City Twice Now .. He Hated to Admit it, But He was starting to Get as Worried as Zephyr was about Their Pilot. What Kind of Hero Could he be if he can't even protect the ones he Loves?

He was about to Double-back Once More when Something Caught the Edge Of His Optic. He Transformed Midair and Zoomed down to A Nearby Rooftop to get a Better Look at What he Saw. As he Peaked over the edge of The building, The Thing he saw was unmistakable.. He was going to need Backup. He Shakily Reached for His Comm Unit before speaking In A broken Tone.

[* I.. Found Her.. *]

[* What? Where!?* ]

[* Roxas Where's the Princess?*]

[*- Is Struggling to Answer-*]

[* ROXAS!*]

[* It's Tobais.. He's.. He's Got Her..*]

Onyx Felt as If an Arrow Pierced threw His Armor and into his Core as He Heard the Name That They All Dreaded come out of Rox's trembling Voice. No.. NO- Not Him.. Anyone But Him-! This has turned into the absolute Worse case Scenario. Whatever that Bad Man is planning he Must Be Stopped at Once! Their Princesses Life may depend on them-!

Zephyr Was Shaking too as he heard Tobais Ring out throughout his Mindcore. The Last encounter with Him Lead to The Poisoning Of the Princess.. they were forced to Do Terrible things just to get the Antidote. That man Was a Psychopath- who Knows What He'll Do To Their Princess now that she's in his Clutches. Even though he was scared of Tobais.. He Has To Be Brave! They Have to Save Her!

[* Rox, Where Are You Now? *]

[* I'm Down Norsh Street, Near the New Coin Factory. I Can see Some Of Tobais Badnicks Guarding the Place.. What Do I Do? *]

[* Staying Hidden will be the best move for Now Roxie, We'll come to you. We are Stronger together plus Have each other's backs Incase Tobais Might try to Capture you too. *]

[* Understood, I'll Keep You Posted if anything Happens.*]

Rox Hated All Of this. Tobais Never Fails to Get Under his Metal Plating. Why Must He Have his Wicked Heart Set On Torturing his Family! He's Crushed Rox's Dreams Of Being a Heroes To this City.. He Made them Become Criminals... all At The Princesses Expense. But This is it. He's going to Make Tobais Pay for everything He's Put him and his Family through.. There is No Redemption for this Villan.. He Must Be Vanquished.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It didn't Take Long For the Other two the Show Up and meet Rox on the rooftops. Having Scoping out the Area and Situation, The small Squad of Robots Came Up with a Plan. Now all they had to Do was Take Action. Onyx Glanced to his siblings before Whispering

" You ready to Storm the Villan's Castle?"

" Absolutely."

Zephyr Nodded as he made his Servos into a Fist. There's no way he's getting away with this.

" Then Let's Do This!"

Rox Shouted before Flipping off the Roof. The Mecha Guards Looked Up in surprise as The Orange Mech Came from outta Nowhere and Falcon Punched one of them Into The Factories Walls.

The Other Guards Quickly Armmed themselves with their Pistols and began Firing Blasts at Rox. In an Instance a Blue Energy Shield protected him from Taking any Damage. Behind the Shield stood Little Zephyr in a Protective Manner, Making Sure Rox Was Safe.

" I Am a Knight of Valor and Won't Let you do as you Please!"

Rox Smiled To Zephyr Before reaching for his second set of Wings And Unhitching them from his Back, Revealing that they were actually Duel Blades. He Gave a Swift Leap into the Air and Hovered above The Guard Robots. Placing his Blades together he dragged them against each other as an Electrical Pulse Began to Surge from his Body and into the Blades. With a Glint in his Optics Shinung through his Visor he Let Out his Catchphrase.

" To Save the Innocent From This Evildoer's Clutches, I Am a Hero! "

He Sent A Slash Of electricity Down Upon Most of the Guards, Leaving only a Few left Standing. The Last Of them Who Managed to Miss the Charge Of Rox's Ability Sent Guided Missiles at the Flying Mech, Attempting to Put him Out of they sky For Good.

The Eldest Sibling However wasn't going to let him be taken Down So Easily. With the whirl of his Cape He Skillfully Cloud stepped and Got infront of Rox within a Few movements. Raising his servo he managed to create a Magnetic Field to Divert the Course Of the Missiles and sent them Spiraling Down on his Opponents.

" Your End Is Near- For I Am Their Guardian, So Accept Your Fate."

Zephyr Stood his Ground as the Blasts from the Missiles Blowing Up the Remains of the Guards nearly sent him perpeling backwards. Before the Dust could even Settle The Three Hurried Inside The Factory Opening, Hoping that They could see some sort of Clue to where Tobais was keeping their Princess.

Bad Move.

As Soon as they Entered The Factory Bright Spotlights Blazed in their Optics Causing A Temporary Blindness in their visual Sensors. In an Instance Rox Felt Something Grab Onto his Wrist and Twist it Violently Behind his Back, Causing him To drop his Swords and let Out a Screech in Pain by the sudden forced Movement.

" AAAARRRGGHH!!"

Onyx's Sensors Flicked Slightly as he whipped around Towards the direction of Rox's Screams. He Darted Towards the source while Unsheathing His Arm Blades. He Slashed In the direction Of the last known Sound, Hitting something.. Metallic. He Heard Rox give a Subtle Gasp as he felt the grip of his Attacker leave his Wrists for a Moment. The Purple Mechs Sensors Flicked Once more as he Glanced around Blindly. Suddenly he Felt something Grab his Leg- Slamming him into the ground and then Into Rox in a Brutal Manner.

" ACK- *SLAM* UGH-!"

" UCK-"

" ROXIE! ONYX- WHERE ARE YOU?!"

Zephyr's Headfins Flapped Wildly as Anxiety began to Creep into his Mindcore as he Frantically Tried to Figure out what was happening. And Fact that he couldn't see anything didn't Really help his Demeanor either. All He could Do was the cries of Pain Of his Big Brothers as something was Attacking them.

Then The Sound of Metal crashing to the ground stopped abruptly- Causing him to Literally freeze in Panic. He Felt a cold Shivver Creep up his Spine as Something loomed Over him. At that very Moment His Optical Functioning restarted... But it was too Late. A Metal Hand Slammed It's fist ontop the Little Bot, Knocking him Out Cold.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a Few Moments The Squad Came too, And Found themselves in a Very dreadful Situation. They were Hanging from The Ceiling in a Steel-Inforced Net, All Of their Weapons and Gear was confiscated, And Worst of All- There Stood Ontop a Mighty Mech was Tobais, Wearing a Wicked Smirk as he Held Held up Their Beloved Princess.. With a Look of True Terror in Her Tear filled Eyes.

" YOU COWARD! USING YOUR UNDERHANDED TRICKS TO CAPTURE US! IF YOU DON'T LET GO OF THE PRINCESS RIGHT NOW SO HELP ME-"

Rox Snarled as he Grabbed onto the Metal Netting, Attempting to Break Threw It. HOW DARE HE TREAT THE PRINCESS THAT WAY!! Showing her off Like Some Trophy he'd won. If he has hurt her in anyway he was going to Cause some Serious Damage to this Dude.

" wHy Are You Doing this To Us-! Release the Princess!.. Please..She's Done Nothing To You- "

Zephyr Was Trembling as he Spoke. The Sight Of His Princess So Afraid Made him Scared aswell.. He knows What this Man was capable Of.. And the Fact that He Not Only has Her.. But he Single Handedly managed to Capture All three of them aswell Made him Even More Afraid. The edges of His Optics Began to Spike to mimic that Of Crying.. He wished he could Just wake up from this Nightmare.

" What Do You Want Tobais! We'll Do whatever You Say, You have Us! Just Don't Hurt Her! She's Just a Child! She doesn't have a use for Your Plans!"

Onyx Called Out in hopes Of Negotiating with Him. He would give himself Up If it meant protecting Her.. They Owe her their Lives, He can't just let her Loose hers.

But Tobais, on the other hand, Could Honestly Care Less. He Only Laughed at their pleas Before Throwing their Princess Off the Mech and watched as she crashed to the ground. She groaned in pain As she weakly looked up to her Protectors Dangling helplessly in the air calling out to her.

" PRINCESS!!"

The Prof. gave a Small Humm as he Turned his Attention to the Trio Aggressively trying to Get To their Pilot, Only to Continuously Fail. It was Quite Amusing To say the least.

" Your Right You Know.. I Don't need Her.. But I Don't need You anymore either. I have Proven that A Human Mind and Intellect Is Stronger than your Dumb Little Mindcores with this Mech."

~ He Smiled as He Slid into the Cockpit of the Mecha And Stood Proudly Behind their Fallen Pilot. ~

" Now I'll Be Able to Achieve my Greatest Ambitions with This Mech suit. Best Of all I won't have to Worry about you Ruining my Schemes. I'm Sure You're gonna make Great Spare Parts once I Dismantle you. I'm sorry To Say but.. You've Outlived Your Usefulness.. Just Like this Child."

~ He Moved The Large Mech Towards the Girl, It's Large Metal Feet shaking the factory with each Step.. She Couldn't get away.. she couldn't even see it coming.. Her Fate was set as the Giant Mech Lifted it's Pede Above their Pilot.~

" So Long little Princess."

"No..-"

" NO..-!"

" NOOO!"

She Saw the Metal Foot Coming Down Upon Her.. She Heard the Horror striken Cries of her Tobots.. she couldn't see a way Out.. She Closed her eyes and Let out One Last Shriek as the tears began to Flow down her Face..

" AAAAAAAAA-"

...

...

...

...

*Woosh!*

In that Instance, A Few Moments before disaster Something happened. Tobais Felt The Mech be sent Backwards as Something with Great force Rammed into it. When he went to See what the heck Just Hit him, He Couldn't believe his eyes. There, Towering Over the Small Child he was Going to crush... Was a Panther Of some sort.. No.. It wasn't a Panther.. It was a Tobot! But that can't be possible.. He'd never seen any Tobot that looked like him before- Where'd she get ANOTHER ONE-!?

" WHO ARE YOU!?"

" I Am Bass, Her Solider Of Destruction. All who Dare Hurt her Shall Succumb To My Claws..

So. Stay. away. From. My. MASTER."

Bass Snarled As the edges Of His Servos Dug into the Ground. He Didn't know who this was, Or How he even Managed to Capture her Guards and get his Grubby Little Hands on his Master.. But he's Going to make him Regret the day he even Laid eyes on Her. Bass hated to Admit it, But He's Grown rather Found Of his Master.

Ever Since she Helped Him Escape From his Creators.. From his predetermined Fate.. He Decided that Rosie and Rosie Alone Shall be His Master. But the time has come for Him To Step Up and Make it Known That She is His.

Tobias Was Appalled to be threatened by a Raggedy Looking Robot! Doesn't he Know who he Is! He'll teach this Dumb Cat Some Manners!

The Mech Regained itself before Sending a servo Towards the two, Aggressively Grabbing at them. In an Instant Bass Grabbed onto The scruff Of Rosie's Hoodie and Leapt Backwards, Avoiding being Caught By Tobais's Grasp. As The Mecha Grabbed and Swung at Them, The Feline-Estique Tobot Manged to Dodge every Swing Skillfully- Jumping into the Air with each Swing. As He was In Midair The Mech's Other Servo Grabbed his Leg and threw him into the ground with a Forceful *CRASH!*

Bass uses his Body to Sheild Rosie From Receiving any Damage from the Collision with the Floor. He Let Out a Hiss Of Pain as he Landed infront the Trapped Trio Struggling to get free. He Glanced at Them and then to Tobias Closing in on them. He Got to his Pedes and Set The Child Down Before Stepping ahead of her to Face the Man in the Mech.

"This Ends Now. "

He Let out a Thunderous Roar Before Slamming his Servos onto the Floor- Letting his Claws Dig deep to give himself Stability for The Stunt he was About to Pull. His Back Arched and Snarled. His Tail Began To Sperate into Sections as a Dark Purple Substance Swirled Out of It..

Tobais Couldn't believe what he saw! This Tobot.. Had Created A VORTEX!? How Could Something Like this even be possible!? He didn't Have time To Process what Was Happening as a Bright Purple Glow Engulfed the Room..

"ARRRGGGGGHH!!!!"

.....

.....

....

~Elsewhere~

....

...

...

A Large Purple Vortex Opened In the middle Of a Clearing beside a Lake- Throwing Bass, The Trio, And The Princess Safely- But roughly- Onto the Grass. The group Gave a Slight Groan as they Slowly Regained themselves. Bass Looked Over Rosie to Make sure she didn't hurt herself from the fall. Rox was the first Person to break The Silence

" I'm Sorry But What The Heck Just Happened-?!"

"..I.. I'm Unsure.."

Onyx Rubbed the Side Of his helm as he Glanced around the Area.. He didn't recognize this place at all.. Were they even still in the city? His attention shifted to the Mech Checking over their Princess.. He remember he had Appeared Suddenly and Saved her.. But just Who was he exactly..? He Flinched Slightly as the other looked back to him.

" I Created a Vortex To send us somewhere Safe."

Bass Spoke Up as he Finished Looking over His Master. She Only seemed to Have Sprained her wrist, Other than that She was just a little shaken up. That was a Relief. He Gave the Girl Her Glasses and Stood Upwards while Brushing himself off.

" Ah, Yes..Who the Heck are You! "

Rox Pointed his Digit At Bass As The Mech Stood Up. It's not that he isn't grateful or anything on how he kept the Princess Safe.. But How does a Random Guy Come outta Nowhere, Just Totally CLAIM the Princess, Face-off with Tobias, and Then Just Poof! Sent them to who knows where just like that!?

" I literally Just Declared my Name Five minutes Ago. But I suppose you couldn't hear me over your Failure to Protect The Kid."

Bass responded Coldly as his Tail Lashed From side to Side. He definitely wasn't impressed with His masters So Called 'Guardians.'

" WHAT!!"

Rox's Wings Flapped as He let out a Low Churr in irritation. Just Who does this Guy Think He Is!

" You Heard me. I'm surprised she's managed to survive this long Under Your Care."

The Mech Scoffed.

" Why You-"

He Growled as He Went to Punch The Smug Cat

" Roxie.."

Zephyr Placed his Servo on Rox's Shoulder and Looked at him with One of those Looks. Just Let it Go.. He Helped the Princess and That's all that matters.

" HMMPH!"

The Orange Mech looked to Zephyr and then to Bass and Huffed. Fine! Whatever! Let the jerk be a Jerk. At least he seems like the Loner type to Ridicule You Before Leaving in a Pretty Stupidly awesome Manner.

" Thank You For Your Assistance.. We Owe You Our Lives. "

Onyx Smiled Warmly to the other and offered his Servo to him. But that Motion didn't seem to fair well with the feline as he Avoided it like the plague. Onyx Lowered His Servo and Frowned Slightly.. Did he just Offend Him..? He Glanced to Zephyr and Just Shrugged.

" Let's Start Over.. I'm Zephyr! And these are My Older Brothers Rox and Onyx.. And You Are..?"

Zephyr Caught Onto Onyx's Motion and Quickly tried to Apologise while Also get on his good Side. He must Obviously be a Good Person To Come and Help them in A Time of Need, Right?

" *Tch* My Name is Bass, And from Now On I shall be the True Protector of Your 'Princess'. "

He Stated as he wrapped his Long Tail Around Rosie in an Defensive Manner while Glaring at the Trio. There was No Way he was Just going to let them Be her Caretakers. From Now On He's Going to Be Her Protector.. and there's Nothing they can Do About it.

" W H A T - "

All three Siblings Gasped in Unison-

Well that Was Unexpected. Looks like their Lives are About to get A Bit More Interesting~

~ End..? ~

[bitchesgetriches]

Hello, I love your new stickers! I have a question about something you said in that post. You mentioned that someone was selling unauthorized copies of your work. I understand if you can't speak to that experience specifically, but I was wondering - in general, what is the best way to deal with art thieves? Is your work trademarked/copyrighted, and how did you do that? I see so many people on tumblr talking about the problem of art theft, but basically zero practical advice.

This is a fantastic question, and it’s one we’re happy to answer!

Our work is indeed copyrighted, and we (Kitty and I) formed an LLC together to help with taxes and legal matters. While you sometimes can’t do anything about art theft, here are a few ways you can protect yourself:

1. Copyright your work. Copyright law is confusing and lengthy, but here’s it in a nutshell: if you can prove you made The Thing first, then you own The Thing. A super easy, cheap, old-school way to do this is to mail your work to yourself, then don’t open the envelope. If you ever need to contest your copyright legally, you whip out that sealed, dated envelope to prove your ownership. You can also copyright it via the U.S. government’s Copyright Office, a division of the Library of Congress. Here’s where you register a copyright online. It costs a small fee, and the website is a bit clunky.

2. Trademark your work. If it’s a logo or a motto or something like that, it’s worth trademarking. We have not yet trademarked our logo, but we will soon, especially since it’s being stolen. The difference between trademarks and copyrights is confusing, but you can read about it here. And you can register a trademark using the same governmental website.

3. File a DCMA Takedown request. The DCMA ( Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is basically a law that says “don’t steal stuff someone else made and pretend like it’s yours). This website explains all about how to use the DCMA to get stolen content taken off the Internet. But that website also charges you to do it on your behalf. Don’t do that if the theft is small-scale, as you can easily handle it yourself. Here’s how:

Go to the site where your work has been stolen. Find their contact information. If it’s a site like Spreadshirt or somewhere else that posts tons of designs for sale, they’ll have a specific link for handling DCMA takedown requests. Then, send them an email that reads:

My name is [NAME] and I am the creator of the [DESCRIPTION OF STOLEN WORK]. It has been reproduced in full at [LINK TO WHERE YOU FOUND STOLEN WORK] which infringes on my copyright. The original logo and shirt to which I own the rights can be found here:

[LINK WHERE YOUR ORIGINAL WORK CAN BE FOUND] The unauthorized and infringing copy can be found at: [LINK TO WHERE YOU FOUND STOLEN WORK] This letter is official notification under Section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (”DMCA”), and I seek the removal of the aforementioned infringing material from your website. I request that you immediately notify the infringer of this notice and notify them to cease any further posting of infringing material in the future. I am providing this notice in good faith and with the reasonable belief that rights I own are being infringed. Under penalty of perjury I certify that the information contained in the notification is both true and accurate, and I have the authority to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright(s) involved. Should you wish to discuss this with me please contact me. Thank you.

[YOUR CONTACT INFO]

If they’re a reputable site and not total assholes, you should receive a letter like this in return:

We are contacting you in relation to issues you recently raised with us regarding content on the Redbubble website. We've reviewed the information contained in your complaint and, in accordance with our policy, we've:

removed the content you've referred to; and

written to the relevant end user about your complaint and the content we removed.

PLEASE NOTE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE FILED A COPYRIGHT WITH THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IN ORDER TO FILE A DCMA TAKEDOWN REQUEST. Normally, the above letter works just fine! If they turn around and say “lol prove it,” then you’ll need to take steps to prove you own the copyright.

This is a really simplified way of handling these things, but in general most of these online thieves are bots not interested in fighting you on your intellectual property. In more serious cases, you might need to lawyer up. But start with this cheap method first.

Do a reverse Google image search from time to time to see if your artwork is popping up around the web, then take the above measures to get it taken down. And try the mail thing now if you suspect some art is likely to be stolen, as that’ll make it easy to prove copyright and ownership.

Anyone else have advice on how to handle the theft of your intellectual property?
