god when i go into yearning after a failed romantic endeavour im scraping the walls howling at the moon coughing up hairballs like i'm grateful for the experience but the Aftermath of horrific feelings for months and months makes me wanna throw up. i can logically be like it never would've been forever for reason a b and c but still i see their face and wanna delete every social media ever and live in a monastery until i'm normal about them again

One of my favorite parts of phase 2 (and indeed one of the few moments I resonated with IDW Prowl) was when the neutrals were coming back to Cybertron and Prowl said that he refused to let Autobots be pushed aside and overruled after they were the ones who fought for freedom for 4 million years (the exact wording escapes me atm).

And I mean, that resentment still holds true even once the colonists come on bc like. As much as it's true that Cybertron's culture is fucked up, and as funny as it can be to paint Cybertronians as a bunch of weirdos who consider trying to kill someone as a common greeting not important enough to hold a grudge over.... The colonists POV kind of pissed me off a lot of times, as did the narrative tone/implications that Cybertronians are forever warlike and doomed to die by their own hands bc it just strikes me as an extremely judgemental and unsympathetic way to deal with a huge group of people with massive war PTSD and political/social tensions that were rampant even before the war?

Like, imagine living in a society rife with bigotry and discrimination where you get locked into certain occupations and social strata based on how you were born. The political tension is so bad there's a string of assassinations of politicians and leaders. The whole planet erupts into an outright war that leads (even unintentionally) to famine and chemical/biological warfare that destroys your planet. Both sides of the war are so entrenched in their pre-war sides and resentment for each other that this war lasts 4 million years and you don't even have a home planet any more. Then your home planet gets restored and a bunch of sheltered fucks come home and go "ewww why are you so violent?? You're a bunch of freaks just go live in the wilderness so that our home can belong to The Pure People Who Weren't Stupid And Evil Enough To Be Trapped In War" and then a bunch of colonists from places that know nothing about your history go "lol you people are so weird?? 🤣🤣 I don't get why y'all are fighting can't you just like, stop??? Oh okay you people are just fucked up and evil and stupid then" ((their planets are based on colonialism where their Primes wiped out the native populations btw whereas the Autobots and OP in particular fought to save organics. But that never gets brought up as a point in their favor)) as if the damage of a lifetime of war and a society that was broken even before the war can just magically go away now that the war is over.

Prowl fucking sucks but he was basically the only person that pointed out the injustice of that.

And then from then on out most of the characters from other colonies like Caminus and wherever else are going "i fucking hate you and your conflicts" w/ people like literal-nobody Slide and various Camiens getting to just sit there lecturing Optimus about how Cybertronians are too violent for their own good and how their conflicts are stupid, with only brief sympathetic moments where the Cybertronians get to be recognized as their own ppl who deserve sympathy before going right back to being lambasted.

Like I literally struggled to enjoy the story at multiple points because there was only so much I could take of the characters I knew and loved being raked over coals constantly while barely getting to defend themselves or be defended by the narrative so like. It was just fucking depressing and a little infuriating to read exRID/OP

Taking the train is so fucking great! I've barely been on it for 30min and I've already seen a bunch of geese and deer and a heron!

On the Gus sneaks into the castle a bunch to check in on Willow point, several possible implied things that may happen as a result

First option, Amity blunders into him whilst invisible, and recognizes him... and depending on when this happens (ie has she reconciled things with Willow yet, and is she aware he's been sneaking in) for the former, she's paranoid that clearly Willow hates her and has gotten her best friend and the best illusionist-wild witch around in to get rid of her (paranoia brain from her murdery roommates, also thinking she deserves it ) If it's a little later on (Hunter's looking for Gus, but he does not know he's Willow's bestie yet but Willow and Amity have patched things up) Amity recognises Willow's old friend and puts things together quickly... cooperation for anti grimwalker terrorism in the name of fun. What could be a lot more fun... Gus accidentally bumping into Luz. And having a little celebrity moment... not because she's the Empress, but because she's human and also doesn't suck and did all the cool stuff she did and Luz doesn't know how to handle it all. Does not know how to handle genuine unprompted praise from a stranger that isn't for just being the Empress, but for the things she's actually doing to fix things. She isn't doing it for anyone's praise and actually getting it unexpectedly is... jarring to say the least.

AW. both of these amity options are fun but the luz one is Getting Me. i do love the idea of gus having been fascinated by luz for a long time simply on account of her being The Human Princess. and then when she becomes empress, he's like actually she might just be based. like as a person. Cool Beans

gus earnestly tells her how much her outlook on magic means to him and to any other anti-coven people he knows (he probably has a network. he feels to me like a guy who can network shenanigans Especially once he's older). and then luz looks so taken aback and uncertain that gus is like "uh oh! too earnest!!" and so he cracks a joke about how if luz wasn't empress, he'd have had to join adrian's coven

and a second after he says it, he's like "...whoops, probably should not be shit-talking the coven heads to the empress."

but luz LAUGHS.

and then is like oh NO. pretend i didn't laugh.

highlight of gus's year. i think he and luz could get up to Shenanigans.

people who don’t consider louis and daniel’s relationship are wild to me because like. the sheer narrative potential of louis de pointe “200 years of catholic guilt and self-loathing” du lac and daniel “I suck the devil good and hard through his jorts” molloy being best friends is absolutely earth shattering to me

I honestly think the "recess" episodes where they go to the old folks' home and are initially bored but find out everyone there is really interesting, and the one where ms finster babysits spinelli, were fundamental contributors to my positive perception of ageing as a child

Hey y'all! Weird question time again, this time (for once) not that weird lol Do you have any recommendations, advice, or links to guides on how to clean plushies, stuffed animals, or dolls*? I want to get more into fixing plushies but I am very sensitive to a lot of different scents so I need to be able to clean them before I can start even potentially having people send me plushies to fix I've fixed a few plushies for neighbors, but when it comes to cleaning plushies I pretty much know "throw it in the washing machine" or "spot clean with a damp cloth" and surely there has to be something in the middle of that spectrum. I'm also totally okay with the kind of plushie cleaning that involves removing their fluff, washing them, and giving them new fluff, I just don't know where to start *I know dolls are their own thing but I think there might be overlap

guys do I pursue a basic brown-haired boy who likes to dance and plays dnd, BUT has the same name as my sisters boyfriend (it’s an extremely common name) and is a civil engineer. Thoughts?

you are complaining about complaining too much while complaining about the fact that maybe people dont like you because you complain too much while complaining about being alone. just stop complaining and do something about it. talk to people. reach out. dont just wait for someone to come to you first.

i have tried reaching out to different people in the past year or so but it never works. i understand its my own fault for letting relationships decay because of my own insecurities and issues but that doesn't mean i can just will myself to think or believe different things about myself. it's a self fulfilling prophecy ; i think people don't like me so i don't reach out so people don't like me etc . i am sure you do not want to hear me list all the things i want to say in response so i will put them in the tags.
