I really like the Curly and Jimmy relationship comics, like how you mentioned you wanted to do more of their casual friendship. And dude, thank you.

NGL this might just be me but I really enjoy it when ppl don’t draw Jimmy so “obviously” cruel to Curly, mostly bc if Jimmy was that “outwardly evil” it kind of feels like ppl think that Curly willingly surrounds himself with horrible people. Like, uhhh, no? It sorta feels like victim blaming to assume Curly knew exactly what Jim was capable of, to completely devoid their friendship of the “fun, casual moments” that make it hard to assume the worst of a friend— make it hard to leave. But that’s all, thank you again.

Thank you for enjoying :)

Yes. Toxic friendships are complicated and especially long-lasting ones. Jimmy and Curly are especially important to me as friends and I wanna explore their dynamic so badly. THEY'RE SO INTRIGUING!!!!

Jimmy is not a scheming manipulator who is horrible just because he's cartoonishly evil. Friendships provide connection with people, and his and Curly's friendship is important to him too, but it's Jimmy aka the guy who can't perceive other people outside of their relation to himself and empathize. Jimmy can care and be a normal guy to hang out with, but he has limits and certain conditions that keep him form being insufferable. Jimmy constantly wants validation and control, that once he feels himself be threatened, he will always prioritize his need to lash out on others with zero self-awareness. Also he can't regulate his emotions at all, like at all. Jimmy is a guy who will put himself in the center of the world and above everyone else, and as long as he doesn't feel his position and person compromised, he will be a manageable and even comforting normal friend. Jimmy is a toxic friend just because of who he is, not because he is consciously wanting to make Curly's life worse because he's a manipulative conniving dictator.

"So many discoveries, Bee. So many. I suppose my favorite was Earth, of all things. Long before humans walked its lands. Organic life was sparce, much of it being small crustaceans within shallow pools. Life forms were always the most exciting discoveries for me," Starscream purrs, the passion in his voice unmistakable. "I had never cared for humans... began to hate organics altogether. But, back when I was out there with Skyfire, they were just– amazing. Never mind the energon! I'm telling you, these creatures on Earth were smaller than the tip of my digit, Bee!"

The seeker rambles on and on, much like Bee. The more excited he got, the faster the words fell out of his vocalizer. His words were emphasized by passionate gestures, as if he were imagining his past findings in his servos again. More and more stories of discovery poured out of the mech as they made the journey back to the base, a seemingly endless amount...

Perry the evil scientist…

inspired by the sketches from @chio-chan2artbox and these drawings by @fleemco and coincidentally she just posted more and I swear I am not copying but it’s fun that we had the same idea 😇

there's a very vague au idea in my head where neil is like a human lab experiment and the lab randomly brings in this up and coming new doctor scientist man (it's aaron) and aaron shows up extremely naive like wow can't wait to Science today i love Science and Medicine and Mad Scientists then he gets there and is like. yo what the fuck that is a whole adult human man.

anyway aaron and neil get close but in that weird scientist lab experiment friendship way (aaron does do some ethically dubious things here bcus i believe in his mad scientist desires) but ultimately he's like okay we have got to get this guy out of here and into real society (he has good intentions AND less good ones here...bcus he does want to see and study how neil interacts with the general public). so he ropes andrew in by being like, hey so remember that new well paying job i got yeah well its unethical human experimentation do you mind trading spots with me every tues/thurs so that we can plan a prison break. and that's how andreil fall in love <3

i actually think they should be allowed to judge everybody for as long as they see fit

[redfacedpalindrome]

do charles and max know they can just be friends like not on race weekends? that they can keep yapping but just by text or something? cos the way these two thirst for the yap session is insane. and then they try to hide it vaguely as “professional collaboration”.

this is just kinda an amalgamation of thoughts with no point to it but. i've been thinking about how the show would explain it if they had buck move on to another love interest next season. and idk how to word this correctly but the thought i'm having is like... if the only given explanation for bucktommy being over and the relationship not being the right one for buck is that tommy was his first boyfriend, for me what that's doing is legitimising the "i'm not your last, i'm your first" which was a statement born out of insecurity! to me the point of that should be tommy was wrong. i need him to be proved wrong.

otherwise... so the moral of the story here is that tommy was right and that buck doesn't understand his own feeings? that he mistook the excitement of the "novelty" of having a boyfriend for having real feelings for someone? that tommy was just a starter boyfriend and buck needs to "try out" other people (because his relationships with women don't count, obviously). biphobia? on the show that won't even let buck say the word bisexual? surprise! but not just that, i'm kinda sick of the whole treating buck like he's not an almost 34 year old man and is instead an impulsive teenage boy who we can't possibly take seriously when he says something about how he's feeling.

ALSO we know that abby was buck's most transformative relationship up until tommy. that i don't disagree with, buck said it himself. but i don't think we should look at it as tommy is only his most transformative relationship because he's a man and he made buck realise he liked men. is that part of it? definitely. but i don't think this was comparable to his other relationships in so many ways. Buck was, as he said, just so comfortable with him. he let tommy look after him and was never made to feel guilty about it. he wanted to move in with him, and while perhaps it was impulsive it wasn't like with taylor where he asked her to avoid telling her something else. he even brought up marriage unprompted! whereas the whole idea of getting engaged to taylor weirded him out. i don't want this relationship to be reduced to the fact that tommy was a man or that he helped buck "figure himself out".

personally i would like it to be made clear that tommy said what he said purely because he was scared of getting his heart broken, not because there was any truth to it. i can't have this end with buck going "yeah, guess he was right". the important points are, 1, he's not his first, and 2, it doesn't fucking matter if he was. I'm not even saying he HAS to end up with tommy. do i think he should? yes. do i think it would be a massively wasted opportunity and a stupid decision if not? yes. but the point is that if he decides to move on all of a sudden after holding on to these feelings for so long, i want to be given a better reason it couldn't work out 🤷‍♂️

(oh, and just adding that as a tommy enjoyer, i don't like leaving him believing that he isn't good enough, and then having that confirmed when buck moves on with someone "better". but whatever.)

which sprites were ur favorite in the atomic series? Ngl, i'm more partial to Atomic 2: it's a classic look for the radon rat and i've grown accustomed to it for a while :] I hope more people see the good in the older sprites, for me, it's truly what made this series great! :D

((Bit aside: Atomic: REINTOXICATED sprite design by a friend of mine known as Cris))
