oh I. havent posted this ,

the transformers: electric metal zine is out now!! download it for FREE here!!! <3

HI ALL!!! back after a hot minute with my work for @transformers-electric-metal!!! it's SUCH a cool zine (it's tf ocs!! hello!!!) and i'm so glad i got to participate!! i did art And a fic for this zine, both about my old lady Bramble here, tho they aren't necessarily connected :3 just the same gorl!!

check out the fic here if not in the zine itself!! >:]c (and u can see my buddy @woolydemon's epic spot art piece for the fic HERE!!!!!!!!!!)

anyhow, here we've got the full piece, an unshaded/glassless version (mostly to show off the rust rendering on catbot / show the center bramble without the glass!!), AND a bonus original concept version because. uh. i needed three images to make the post layout look better ok 😭

(special thanks to @dizzyst4rs for helping me so so much with the colors for the corner and top center bramble(s), as they hadn't been designed prior to this and he did bramble's og palette!! :D)

further ramblys contained under a cut thank u <3

SO!! versions of bramble to be specific, clockwise and then center: earthspark (root mode), TFA thorn (pre-experiment), earthspark again (alt mode), botbots, TFA (when she's just 'the catbot'), TFA decepticon au, TFA (alt mode), TFA shattered glass, college au lily, college au bramble, and then good ol' regular TFA bramb in the center! just for anyone curious about cont or anything <3

experimentation has given bramble a pretty shaky mental state, with a lot of struggle trying to figure out what parts of her are really her and whatnot. so i thought expounding upon that by Also including how many different forms of her there are across the TF universe would be fun!! and an excuse to draw all of the TF brambles at once >:3

and also. i swear to god the lights were blue yellow and pink the whole time i worked on this. my horror after hours of shading to realize that my pinks had become purples....... unspeakable.

i have never put this much rendering juice into a piece before ever in my life. please enjoy Pretty Colors and how i painstakingly blended the shading layers together with just a pencil brush at low opacity like a clown

mmm tragic little man coming right up

Hey, do you have any cover predictions for Es (because they will get another album if I have to fight for it)?

I'm really hoping for New World Guide 🤞 very good song i love it. here's a translation since it's kinda hard to find normally,,

Alot of people have suggested Ghost Rule or Chimera and I think they fit well on their own but all the character covers so far follow a theme, and I think NWG has a similar meaning to Hibana while still fiting Es' character well :3 they're both songs about wanting better than what they have and wanting to get out of an uncomfortable situation, but being unable to act on their own.

I think Es' position as warden fits well with them being a 'guide', with them being depended on by both the prisoners ("Repeating however many times 'guide me', is it because you want someone to finally scold you?") and milgram itself ("It was a life of me wanting to try my best. It was a life I wanted to have with you" / "I was the one that's mistaken, being manipulated and getting carried away").

The line "Let's set off to reach that 'second lap'. Hey, how many times has it been?" reminds me of the different trials. The singer wants to end their relationship with whoever they're 'guiding' but can't seem to get without the other person being the one to end it, Es is unable to get out of milgram until milgram itself is brought to an end ("At this point, would you try ending this alone?" / "Ah, it's one of my greatest wishes. Cut me off, cut me off"). The singer also repeatedly tries to convince themselves that maybe their situation isn't as bad as they feel it is, which is something Es does constantly ("Wearing a mask, I'm singing humility by saying 'No problem!'" / "Unexpectedly, it might not be so bad" / "I'd like to try winning, I'd like to try smiling. Of course, that's a lie" / "If it's an illusion, if this is that, then- can i have my regrets paid in advance?").

I could probably think of more but point is, if Es doesn't cover this song I'm going to scream and cry and puke.

Napping

A/N: Sweet and short little fic! This things barely 300 words if I remember correctly? Not set during any one time. Vaguely some adventure with 10 I imagine more than 9 purely for like one line describing the Doctor's actions.

---

It'd been a taxing adventure on the group. More than a few things seemed to go sour, and the entire stay had been turned into a couple day excursion.

When it finally tied itself up, Tricks was bone tired. While he hadn't over done it with his powers, it was a lot of large shows of it and the last hurrah he did to help the group had him controlling more shadows at once than he'd ever done so prior.

And so, Tricks clung to the Doctor for a while, before eventually he was pawned off to Jack who was chattering away.

Upon reaching the TARDIS, even Tricks' shadow seemed tired. It seemed to be longer, almost drooping. Uncharacteristically, he was allowing Jack to almost pilot him. 

As the raggedy group reached the TARDIS, Tricks let out a small wooo! Jack chuckled at it. They all tumbled into the TARDIS, and Jack moved his arm around Tricks properly.

"I gotta sleep," Tricks said, leaning onto his captain. "I'll pass out."

"No you won't. I got you," Jack said casually. 

Tricks yawned, blinking back tears. The group talked somewhat as Tricks let himself lean more onto Jack as the Doctor bounced around, talking and choosing what was going to happen next.

Althewhile, Jack kept a good hold on Tricks who continually became more dead weight as he felt Tricks slip between awake and consciousness.

Suddenly, Tricks shook himself awake, and removed himself from Jack's side who glanced sidewards to him. "Not enjoying your pillow?"

"Hmm? I wasn't asleep."

"You totally were." Jack flashed him a smile. "I didn't mind you know."

"I was awake." Tricks rubbed his eyes, looking around the console. A few seconds passed and his head was back on Jack's arm. "I'm good now."

"Right." Jack chuckled, wrapping his arm back around Tricks, supporting him once again as he nodded off.

my thoughts on TBB season 2 episodes 7-8

and why it’ll probably be a long time before I’m able to rewatch these episodes again 💀

this is gonna be long and probably not very coherent, but I’m gonna do my best cause I need to get my feelings out 😅

I wanna start by saying I think these were some of the best episodes not just in TBB, but in SW media overall. the issue of Clones rights is something that we’ve been desperate to see addressed ever since TCW. we got hints of it in TCW, but it was never a prevalent issue since the series focused so much on the Jedi. Umbara was the first major instance we got of this, after a few smaller hints (Rex with Cut and the Separatist attack on Kamino were standouts for sure). but this was the first time we saw real, true focus on the rights of the Clones, especially in relation to their significance outside of war. it was done perfectly imo, even though it ended up being what kicked off the official start of the Stormtrooper era 💔

I told this to @jam-n-ham and she agreed with me, but Riyo spoke not just for her own beliefs, but for the entire fandom as well, and I really appreciate that 💙

another thing I absolutely loved was seeing TBB work with Rex again. them sneaking into Rampart’s ship and that whole endeavor was very reminiscent of their TCW arc with the refined chaos we know and love about them; it’s easily one of my favorite moments of the entire series now 😁

speaking of Rampart... DING DONG THE BINCH IS GONE. OMG. I legit thought he was gonna be more of a problem throughout the series (and he probably still will be 🙄), but for now at least, he’s finally outta here. hallelujah \o/

one more thing I have to mention is Omega. oh my sweet baby girl. this episode was such a good showcase of her character. it showed her sweetness and curiosity, while also giving her a chance to express her feelings about what happened on Kamino. her little rant was everything, and I’m so proud of her; she’s becoming a very expressive and strong young woman that I wish I had gotten to see more of when I was younger 💙

alright. now time for the feels™

I want to state that this is something extremely personal to me, so I’m going to speak mainly from the heart in regard to this. it’s really hard for me to make a more thoughtful judgment about it, especially since the season isn’t over yet, and we don’t know how things are going to play out fully. all I know right now is how I feel. so here we go.

I’m personally absolutely devastated about Echo leaving.

I know, I know, pretty much everyone can relate to this right now. but let me explain.

I struggle greatly with loss. of any kind, really. mostly in terms of relationships and people. throughout my life, I’ve struggled to maintain relationships with people and have had many people permanently leave my life, either by choice or circumstance. I can’t handle death very well, and I rarely can bring myself to even say goodbye to people. the very idea of someone leaving, even temporarily, is hard for me to handle.

this is further worsened because I also get extremely attached to things. this includes physical objects, people, animals, fictional characters, franchises in general, you name it. my specific brand of undiagnosed neurodiversity means that I get extra emotional when anything happens to something I’m attached to. @jam-n-ham can vouch for how excited and emotional I get when we’re watching something together. I don’t cry irl very often, but I get extremely emotional watching media of any kind.

so imagine my reactions to when a fictional character either dies or leaves in some manner. yeah...

when Fives died, it devasted me in a way that I’ve never fully recovered from. it legit traumatized me. to this day, I literally cannot even look at screencaps or gifs of when he died. it’s only been recently that I’ve even been able to acknowledge anything from that arc in general. I feel similarly about when Kanan died in Rebels as well (although that one is a bit easier for me to stomach because of how it was done).

and for me, characters leaving, even if it’s on good terms, affects me in an almost identical way. to me, Echo leaving TBB is no different than when he “died” in the Citadel arc, another moment that traumatized me. it doesn’t matter that he said he’ll be back or whatever. he’s still gone in my eyes.

I’ve been very attached to Echo since we first saw him. I actually liked him more than Fives for a while. I was ecstatic when we found out he was still alive and got rescued in TCW. and he’s been an absolute joy to watch in TBB. although he’s @jam-n-ham’s bae, he’s my boy and my bro and I love him very much. there’s a reason I made him my best friend in my self-insert series 🥰

I really wish I could explain this better since there are many instances of characters leaving or dying that hasn’t affected me so badly (again, I handled Kanan WAY better than Fives, and I literally can’t count the number of times I’ve watched the Umbara arc). I’m in a sensitive place in my life in general right now, so that might have something to do with it. but I feel like I would have these same feelings no matter what simply because of my trauma and my specific attachment to Echo as a character.

I do want to say though that I’m glad him leaving was presented the way that it was. I actually already knew he was going to leave at some point WEEKS ago due to spoilers, and I spoiled myself again before seeing the episodes, so I knew it was coming. it didn’t make it hurt any less, but the fact that he left on good terms with everybody is nice to know at least. Omega had a strong emotional reaction, which was understandable and realistic, and I appreciate that as well (considering I had a similar reaction 😅). also, I support what he’s doing and am glad that he feels like he’ll make a difference with Rex supporting other Clones in need. he’s a good boy, guys 🥺💙

so yeah. although I’m positive we’ll see him again (along with the likely possibility of him rejoining TBB at some point), it’s still incredibly painful that he’s gone and separated from the others. I feel like this will be addressed with Omega in the show, since she seems to be going through similar feelings. and if not... well, I still have my self-insert series that I can use to address it LOL

tl;dr because of my trauma dealing with loss and my strong attachment to Echo as a character, I won’t be rewatching episodes 7-8 for some time. I’ll be reassessing my feelings again once the season is over, but for now, this is where I stand.

ilu Echo. I hope I see you again soon 💙💙💙
