You just knooowwww Hot Rod would ABSOLUTELY be so much like Orion Pax before the Matrix (Specifically the first few scenes in Transformers ONE) And Hot Rod would get all down on himself thinking that he'd never be able to fill Optimus' shoes,,, Only to find out from Optimus himself that he was just. like. him.

my therapist: you have great qualities! why do you feel you struggle to connect with others?

me: i don't want to get hurt?

my therapist: you shouldn't be a hermit the rest of your life because of some unfounded assumptions that you will get emotionally hurt by people you surround yourself with.

me: me - a hermit? guilty as charged *law & order dun dun sound*

Can somebody explain to me what actual concrete implications arise from the question of "are trans women More Oppressed than other trans people?" (/gen)

Because we're sure spending a lot of energy on it and I'm not sure what the purpose of this is when it's obvious that a) all kinds of trans people are pretty damn oppressed and b) transphobia definitely manifests in different ways towards different groups (as well as, at the same time, manifesting in similar ways towards different groups), and it's clearly useful to be able to talk about that, and therefore unhelpful for the vocabulary people might use for it to be rendered unusable by becoming a shibboleth for talking about Who Has It Worse

Well tv glow may have already shot up to "is this one of my favorite movies of all time" and "do I already want to buy another ticket and go right back to the theater"

Finally that ridiculous spell or effect was finally over...Ultra Magnus was finally back in his own body and Rodimus was in his...all was as it should be. He just wondered what kind of trouble Rodimus got HIM into while he was in his body.

" You might want to turn your FIM Chip back on..." Rodimus says casually as he slowly moves to leave...Magnus might feel just a bit tipsy for a few hours at best, he spent a good amount of the night drinking at Swerves.

" Rodimus!" He snapped watching the speedster disappear down the hall " I have a fraggin processor ache..." he groans gripping at his helm.

I’m realizing I should’ve planned to get Sunrise on the Reaping in person instead of ordering it online 😭

Dear Vector Prime, do you know anything of the White Order leaders with the body-types of Dragonicus and Thunderwing? What were their names/titles? What deeds led to their deaths and entombment in the Ivory Towers?

Dear Alabaster Adventurer,

I see you’ve chosen two of the more notable leaders of the White Universe. Long before the seven colored universes were merged by the Primus Vanguard and their holy defenders organized into orders, the White Guardians watched over the inhabitants of their primordial universe. Their dedication to protecting life had led to a cosmos filled with planets untouched by the ravages of time. The bravery espoused by the Way of the White Matrix had allowed their mightiest warriors to face down even entropy itself. The world that would become known as the White Planet had long been saved from climate change, its pristine glaciers having been saved from the rulebreaker named Heat. Wherever a citizen walked, there was always a White Guardian ready to save them, from dangerous traffic, unsteady construction, and even bad nights’ sleep. When Primus first made contact with this universe, they were led by the peace-hoarding dragon, White Resolute Convoy.

For Resolute Convoy, the threat of the Specters was outweighed only by the threat of the six other universes. The heat of the Red, the sickly-sweet Purple… To him, once the Specters had been extinguished, the real threat would be the stains of his neighbors on his perfected world.

By now, many of the White Guardians had personally accompanied their counterparts into battle, and had experienced their bravery at first hand, so it should not come as a surprise to that there was little resistance when Primus himself, enraged at this disregard for his grand design, arrived in the White Universe to punish Resolute Convoy. This was said to have been the first and only time Primus brought the might of his Golden Power down on one of his own lieutenants, and it was only the disappointed gaze of Blue Brightes Convoy, Primus’ second in the duel, that saved Resolute Convoy from death. By now quite unpopular with his own people, the dragon slinked away into the wastes, never to be seen again.

With no named successor, one White Guardian rose above the others to take the place of Convoy. With grinning fangs and a cocksure stalk, Daringdo took the name White Daringdo Convoy, and the mantle of leadership with it. His horrific appearance having been carved in his youth to scare off evil, the maverick Daringdo had been known to loudly introduce himself as “uncle” or “grandfather” to his foes before demanding respect, then blowing them away with his Cyclone Cannon.

As Daringdo Convoy, he was aware that his watch was merely part of a longer chain of justice, and it was thus that he took a ward, Gallant, to teach in his ways. Gallant was far more stiff than his master, more concerned with traffic statistics than the untrue stories Daringdo Convoy taught him in order to find the hidden justice within. Perhaps it was some sense of his eventual death that drove him to take a student. During a particularly vile Specter attack, Daringdo Convoy chose to stand his ground and let his subordinates escape. Intent on never backing down, in his last moments he converted the Matrix Saber into its White Matrix form, and opened it fully, exposing the attacking Specters to not just the full force of the White Star Power, but encoding their entire spectrographic data inside its crystalline core. Despite intense wounds, he died standing. A silent Gallant returned to the battlefield some days later, and at the request of his comrades became White Gallant Convoy. His only hope was to follow in his foolhardy master’s footsteps. The data White Daringdo Convoy had obtained would be shared with the other universes, becoming part of the chain of events that would end with Blue Big Convoy proposing the Joint Matrix Strategy and the birth of the Precursor Universe.

For good and for ill, all former leaders of the Primus Vanguard are memorialized in the Ivory Tower. However, Resolute Convoy lost his right to enshrinement. Indeed, neophytes occasionally mistake Daringdo’s memorial for him, thinking his monstrous countenance proof of his draconic heritage. This is a mistake quickly corrected by attendants: to this day, White Resolute Convoy is the only commander struck from the records. Primus had desired a future all his own, but it would be a future with change, albeit by his own design.

Nonetheless, these two warriors are examples of the many ways justice and order can be interpreted through the lens of belief. I hope their tale has been of interest to you.

Stage 2 Anger... just for entering the scene?

Man I haven't done art in a while...

I know I also said before that I was playing TGAA2, but I couldn't help myself (Athena is so precious to me)

(The state of the Mood Matrix is actually based on one of SoJ's sequences, by the way!)
