Eric Adams throwing an iftar event with just cops and corrections officers in attendance then kicking out the sole Muslims present (a man and his son) for calling the whole thing “a sham” is very on brand for the despicable milk dud

once again rambling about five and lila because i’m fucking pissed. enjoy

“five and lila were perfect for each other because they had so much in common” yet so many perfect couples have absolutely nothing in common???

they could relate to each other in ways that made them hate each other and that’s why they were SUCH good foil characters, i don’t understand why the romance had to be necessary.

there is absolutely no reason that this romance plotline should’ve been created. it was so ridiculously off-focus from what the plot was (AND should have been) and it literally only made the season so much worse.

do writers understand that not every single character has to fall in love with one another? i mean genuinely?

personally i don’t believe five is aro (though he could be ace) because i can’t help but love five’s love for delores (even if she wasn’t real) but i completely understand five aroace truthers because he truly can be independent romantically as we saw in the show.

i cannot wrap my fucking head around the fact that the writers saw two awesome, dynamic, badass characters with arcs and goals outside of love and attention and decided to turn their personalities inside out and upside down for a dumbass dead-end romance that makes zero sense.

five and lila were the only two people on god’s green earth who could understand each other and hated the other for it. why couldn’t they just be frenemies and call it a day?

god fucking damn it i’m so upset

shoutout to 13 year old 58 year old five hating lila and 29 year old lila despising the fuck out of little five !!! <3

fuck you to the worst, most nonsensical couple of all time and space ❌❌

Speaking of Tyrest. A lot of people forget that he treated Pharma with absolute disdain, not only using him as a test subject for a clearly painful mass murder machine, but talking to Pharma like he saw him as nothing but some henchman to order around that was nothing more than a 'diseased cripple' if Tyrest hadn't come to rescue him.

Like it really is an interesting background dynamic with some curious implications, but when you look at fandom posts from around that issue/the years after, for some reason people just saw "Pharma worked with Tyrest" and concluded Pharma is a card carrying bigot ksjfnskxkd. Like yeah Pharma didn't do anything to stop Tyrest but it seems his main beef with the Autobots was with Ratchet in particular and maybe a general disdain for his ex-comrades. As well as continuing to hate Decepticons which like, not even the "good Autobots" are immune to (even in Pharma's introduction, First Aid says in his journal something like "yeah we all hate Decepticons, but Pharma REALLY hates them"). And despite what fandom likes to construe there's really no evidence in IDW1 that Autobots and Decepticons are different "races" or "types" of Cybertronians, so Pharma hating Decepticons really isn't a bigotry/robot racism thing. And instead probably has something to do with, idk, the 4 million year long galaxy-spanning blood feud war, or maybe being blackmailed and tortured into insanity by the Biggest and Most Decepticon-y of Decepticons.

Tyrest treated Pharma like trash, the other Decepticons working for Tyrest (how come no one ever brings that up btw) also hated him, so if anything it seems that Pharma was more of a rogue element only staying with Tyrest bc he was his best option and probably had no way to even escape.

I'm glad that at least in recent years the fandom has acquired a keen reading eye and good taste to finally recognize Pharma as the (accidentally) complex character he is instead of making him some posh, racist Starscream clone SHSJDGSGDH

You can’t just begin and end an analysis with “the writer is portraying x y z as Bad because the character is a bad person” esp with fucking metal gear where almost everyone is a bad person! Elaborate asshole!

[swagging-back-to]

seetttthing scalding hot take but honestly i feel no sympathy or theoretical sadness about altea being blown to bits. the few alteans we DO know are all assholes. clearly the universe isn't missing much. in fact, if you look at the only canon universe that DOES still have altea--- they go on to be just as bad as the galran empire if not even worse.

so yeah. maybe zarkon did the universe a small favor before he went truly off the deep end.

edit; just found out alteans destroyed Diabaazal long before zarkon destroyed altea. nothing ANYONE says can convince me alteans are anything *but* the real villain of the show. they got what they deserved.

Had an idiot pull out of the (completely stopped) left lane directly in front of my car (going ~30 mph, because the right lane wasn't clogged) when driving home today- without signalling, and presumably without checking to see if anyone was coming- and missed hitting them by about a foot when I stomped on the brakes. Then I went to the grocery store, and apparently their website lies about not only which aisle some of their products are in, but also what products they actually carry, so 3 of the five items I made the trip for to get weren't actually there. They are apparently also not carried at the local Target, and the other local grocery store's search function is apparently completely down at the moment, so no way to tell without going in person if they have those spices or not (and the store is a pain in the ass to get out of most of the time- well, at least the parking lot is). Got home, found out that I'll not be able to use the ceiling light in my room for probably a month because it's acting up (flashing when turned on, intermittent flickering at other times) and the landlady is going on vacation for two weeks starting this weekend, so can't schedule a maintenance person before she takes off (and will presumably take a week or so to get someone scheduled upon returning) (she is ordering a light stand to use in the meantime, but overhead is so much better) (worth pointing out tho that I first brought up the flickering at the start of July, before I went on my trip, and it remained unaddressed for a month and a half). Then I found out that one of the keys on my keyboard isn't working (the down arrow), so that will have to be addressed at some point, but this is the week leading up to the start of the semester and is therefore the most chaotic time to a) schedule a repair consultation with the local computer place and b) not have my computer (hopefully only for a day or so).

....yay Monday.

(also had some stuff in the lab not work out the way that it was supposed to- like, diluting a DNA sample should not have resulted in an increased concentration reading. So I get to figure that out with my advisor tomorrow. Yippee.)
