#rescuing bees

[reality-detective]

This woman is more important to the world than 10,000 Kim Kardashians   

She not only removes bees from residential sites by rescuing rather than exterminating them, she is also able to scoop the bees up with her bare hands, and all without the bee keeper suit! 🤔

Lowkey, I think one of my favorite little things about Rescue Bots is how we get to learn a little more about Optimus when he shows up. Like, not war stuff or Orion Pax stuff, but just little things about Optimus.

One of his favorite Earth stories is The Little Engine That Could. Does he read in his spare time and if so, how did he find Little Engine?

He tells Heatwave that he has also been learning from humans. What has he learned? The phrase "Nothing much, double dutch." Who the fuck taught him that? My money's on Miko. Jack would not have the audacity to add that to Prime's vernacular.

He has a motherfuckin' rocket powered car carrier capable of hauling four bots. And since Team Prime had four four-wheelers on the team prior to Darkness Rising, you could reasonably assume that he has used it with Cliff, Bee, Bulk, and Ratch

Optimus knows what a pogo stick is. That isn't anything noteworthy, I just think it's funny.

Our quality inspector hard at work! ✨A portion of this fursuit sale will be going to the Toucan Rescue Ranch, so let's talk about them!

The Toucan Rescue Ranch is a Costa Rican non-profit organization. Founded in 2004, they began with a goal of rescuing and releasing injured toucans. They now work with many species including sloths, owls, parrots, coati, and more!

TRR provides volunteer opportunities and educational programs for people to learn about taking care of their environment and local animals. With their breeding program, they successfully bred Emerald Toucanets in captivity for release in the wild. We aren't affiliated with them in any way, we just really admire what they do!

10% of our Cuckoo Bee Cat sale will be donated to the Toucan Rescue Ranch! https://poeproductions.org/store/ Get a cute suit and help a good cause!

“When you said you had a plan, I thought it would be better than this.”

“Hey, man, don’t look at me. I’m not the one who stole a mermaid.”

“You can’t steal a person. Xb made the choice to come with me.”

Xb flaps his tail lazily from the center of the pool. The chlorine feels strange against his scales, but it’ll do for the time being, for being the first time he’s been in fresh air for quite a while. He tilts his head and watches Hypno argue with his chilly human, only to realize they’ve turned to him.

“Don’t look at me. I was the one who was stolen,” he says. Hypno sighs in a way that’s grown familiar.

“You told me I—I’m just saying that—this isn’t even ours, Cub!”

“We steal Keralis’s pool all the time,” the chilly human says. “He hasn’t called the cops on us yet.”

“I think he’s trying to Home Alone us,” Hypno mutters, “not that he’s an altruist.”

“Eh,” the chilly human says.

“When you said you had a plan—”

“I didn’t have a mermaid plan. I had a ‘Scar steals a manatee from the aquarium’ plan that I modified. Have to say, Hypno, didn’t expect you to be the one to make me use it.”

“…why would a Scar steal a manatee, and how were you planning on handling the chemicals in here?” Xb asks. It is, he figures, the only truly relevant part of the conversation.

“He’s Scar,” Hypno answers, at the same time as the chilly human answers:

“That was one of the steps I modified when Hypno told me you’d be able to just breathe a bit of air. Didn’t have to buy out the water treatment for fish from Petco.”

“What?” Hypno says.

“Fair,” Xb says, as though he knows what a Petco is. (He knows many human things after his time in captivity. That is not one of them.)

“Stop complaining so much,” the chilly human says. “Who else would you have asked who’d have a plan like this?”

“Jevin,” Hypno says instantly.

“Rude.”

“We can’t just keep Xb in Keralis’s pool. We have to have another place to put him later. Ideally, the actual ocean, but even before then,” Hypno continues.

“It is a little small,” Xb concedes. It is still better than his old tank by far, but if he’s being given the time to complain…

“Not just that,” Hypno says. “But—”

“Aha! I got you this time!” a sing-song voice from above says. “Naughty boys! Here to wreck my pool again. I have you now!”

In front of Xb, he watches Hypno and the chilly human move awkwardly as though to hide him from the man standing on the balcony. Xb, who is far more reasonable about these things. He doesn’t attempt to hide. He looks up at the human instead, curiously. He feels something in his chest looking at him, and something more when the human stops talking about catching Hypno and his friends, and locks eyes with Xb.

Xb bares his teeth and flares his fins in a threat display. Not because he feels the need to be threatening—he’s not frightened—but because he wants to see what this human will do.

The human’s face morphs into a wide smile.

“Oh! You’ve brought me a princess!” he says. “Hello, princess! I am Keralis!”

Xb regards him for a moment. “Xb,” he says.

“Lovely!” Keralis says.

There’s a moment of stunned silence from the others.

“It took me three months to get you to let me say your name!” Hypno says accusingly. “Three months!”

“Keralis is prettier,” Xb says instantly, dry as the outside of his old tank.

“True,” the chilly human responds, and Keralis giggles.

“I hate all of you,” Hypno says, and Xb knows that’s a lie. You don’t steal people you hate.

Introducing Ashton Greymoore-[Lastname], rescued from a storm drain on the 4th of July. So named because he, too, is an orphan with a motley found family, a funky head injury, and a hilariously inconsistent sense of self-preservation.

Also: he Rage. (seriously, he can stop trying to chew on human flesh aaany time now...teething kitten chompers *hurt*)

He's recovering today from surgery to remove his right eye. We hoped it might stabilize while we waited for him to get big enough for anesthesia, but the injuries were too severe. He'll spend the next several days in a cone when he's not actively eating or being held to protect his sutures from being jostled--which means he'll be getting a lot of holding because he looks so miserable with the cone on.

If anyone wants to toss him a little Guidance or Enhance Charisma (or, failing that, Dexterity) in a few weeks when he starts spending time in contact with our four resident adult cats, he'll need all the help he can get.

Miracubots: Miraculous Holders (Humans)

Since this has gotten a little attention and seems to have gotten people curious I'll continue inflicting this AU on you XD

For a while Beetletron and Felidae Fatale are the only heros running around Griffin Rock doing what they can to obfuscate their identities. It helps that due to Cody in his hero form looking like a miniature Rescuebot, has people believing he's a smaller more advanced model of bot with an AI controlling him and Felidae acting as his handler.

And has the Bot's thinking he's a Minicon running around with a human friend. Cody is absolutely having a blast dropping hints that he and the bots are related and Plagg is pouting that Tikki got the holder who's causing the most Chaos.

As the fights start escalating Master Fu starts trying to teach Cody about the Miraculous and being a guardian....Only for Cody to insist either Frankie be there in the lessons to, or he'd just teach her behind Fu's back. Yup, no one person being Guardian over the other, Cody and Frankie are equals.

As part of the training Fu allows them to take the Turtle Miraculous to find someone that would be a good temporary hero. Unfortunately, during an Akuma attack the Turtle ends up being lost...And Priscilla Pync is the one to find it.

Priscilla at first mostly uses the Turtle as somewhat an escape from her life under her mothers thumb and while Terraprincess isn't much of a fighter and rarely turns up for Akuma attacks, she's been finding her footing acting to evacuate people from fights and acting to help with the more natural disasters of the island.

(We very much want Priscilla to be somewhat of a fusion of Adrien with the villain as their parent, and the redemption Chole deserved learning how to be a hero through Wayzz)

Fu is not happy with the pair for losing one of the Miraculous, even if it found it's way to a heroic individual and intended on preventing them from using any of the others for a while to teach them a lesson.

This is till an Akuma fight where as Cody's rushing to the scene...He's stopped by Plagg holding the ring, explaining that...The Akuma's Frankie, and she ordered him to take the ring and run when she realized what was happening.

Ya, being a Miraculous holder isn't a get out of jail free card in regards to Akumas. Though we've gone with the interpretation that 'A Holder if they have the mental fortitude CAN keep secrets from Swallowtail' to explain why they get given their Miraculous again.

And Cody, finding out his best friend, his platonic other half and his partner in crime fighting is the one Akumatized...Has a bit of a panic attack, freaking out at the thought of not only fighting his best friend, but having to fight her alone. It's to the point, Plagg has to get him to transform back so Tikki can help calm him. And she has a plan.

Give someone else a Miraculous to help.

And she even knows the perfect person to give it to.

Thus Chief Charlie Burns, becomes the first offical Miraculous Hero after Beetletron and Felidae Fatale, using the Horse Miraculous to become the cowboy inspired hero Ranger. With Rangers Help their able to beat Haywire and Deakumatize her back into Frankie, she feels guilty about the whole thing and resolves to work even harder as a Hero to make up for it.

The second Burns family member to be entrusted with a Miraculous is surprisingly Graham. as when this universes version of Evilistrator is created, Cody and Frankie considering their options realize, if the Akuma can create ink creatures out of nothing, why not fight fire with fire?

Thus Graham is picked to become Capricorn the holder of the Goat Miraculous and is able to create objects to counter each creature Evilistrator creates till the Akuma runs out of pages in his sketch book and can be then taken out.

Hot on his heels Dani is tapped to become the Bee Hero Hornet to help deal with a super fast Akuma wreaking havoc all across the island. Dani absolutely loves her Hornet get up, it even comes with bee wings that she can use to actually fly!

Kade is the last of the Burns family chosen to be a hero but that doesn't make him any more or less valued then the other. Just that the Ox needed a real challenge that called for it's power. And when an Akuma is able to cause a time dilation effect around it. well. Bullocks ability to utterly no sell any magic that tries to effect him is really your only sane choice now isn't it?

Keep an eye out for a part 2 of this post where talk about the Rescuebot's much more dramatic reveal (Spoiler, The BOTS can be Akumatized to) and the Miraculous they are eventually entrusted with.

A funny observation recently is how EarthSpark, Rescue Bots and the Bumblebee movie are all, by coincidence or design, based on a pre-Transformers concept called Car and Cable. Car and Cable was something of an alternative pitch in the early development of The Transformers, which was more of a Hanna Barbera style show about a transforming robot named Muffler, Muffy to his friends, being taken in by a trio of young humans (an older teenage boy and girl and an elementary aged boy) and their dog.

The quirky found family would get into wacky shenanigans, but would also run afoul of enemy transforming robots. Very reminiscent of Bumblebee, Heatwave and later the Terrans own adventures.

This conceptual study in particular feels very similar to how Bumblebee and Charlie’s relationship would develop, both officially and the fandom’s own perception of it. Muffy’s robot mode design is surprisingly similar to the general shape of Bumblebee’s Earth robot mode in the movie.

I’m waiting for EarthSpark to throw a birthday party for the Terrans that’s similar to this, though they did have a Mother’s Day episode that’s close enough for now I suppose!

While Car and Cable was created somewhat out of spite during early development, it is rather hilarious that it DID see the light of day in a fashion. Interestingly the concept of human allies with a pet dog was part of a later Transformers draft, though the dog was eventually dropped. Charlie would turn out to have a dog though (as would Sam in a lesser extent), along with the Burns getting one through the Mini-Con Servo. Assuming we later get a Terran who Transforms into a dog, that concept also seems to have been revived whole sale lately, lol.

Sting

Synopsis: Shae stumbles upon a bee hive.

Author’s notes: I might have a part 2 for this in mind if anyone wants to be even meaner to the boi. 👀

Content warnings: tiny whump, faery whump, bugs, bees, bee sting, injury, exhaustion, passing out, nonhuman whumpee, human caretaker, rescue, gentle caretaking

----

Insects are just part of life outdoors; Shae encounters them often. A few are dangerous but most pay him no mind. Bees, though intimidating, don’t bother him. In fact, Shae likes bees because where there are bees, there are usually flowers.

But he’s never seen this many.

Shae can hardly hear his own thoughts over the buzz of what must be hundreds of bees as they zip around between the fields of wildflowers on all sides and the tall, human-made wooden structures that they have made their home. He can practically feel the air around him vibrating.

It all happens so fast. Hands over his ears, Shae whirls around to hurry away from the cacophony and stumbles right into one of the countless bees. In a flurry of movement, the angered creature defends itself the only way it knows how.

The stinger plunges into Shae’s stomach hard and fast. It knocks the breath from his lungs and the thoughts from his mind. He knows nothing but red hot agony for just a moment before his eyes roll back and he is out cold without a sound.

As the bee flies away the stinger’s barbs briefly catch, lifting Shae’s limp body slightly from the ground before he slips free and lands on his back in the dirt. It’s there he stays for hours.

-

The first anything is that awful hum. It grows louder and louder as Shae wakes until it feels like it’s drilling deep into his head. He whines softly, hands twitching with the desire to cover his ears, but he can’t move. Every limb is stiff and numb; even his eyelids feel impossibly heavy.

All his focus is drawn to the one place where he feels too much. His belly, free of the stinger, now bears a round, hot welt. The swollen skin prickles and, could he move even a finger, he’d be tempted to itch at it. Instead he can only tremble and twitch and try to catch his breath.

After minutes that feel like hours he manages to open his eyes. The world spins above him, a flurry of motion to accompany the sickening hum. Shae groans. His head pounds.

Several more minutes pass before he can keep his eyes open and attempt to sit up.

At the first suggestion of movement he’s hit with a sharp twinge in his side. Shae gasps and curls onto the opposite side. He holds the wound with both hands and takes deep breaths, fighting to stay conscious.

When the pain dulls he tries again. Again it hurts, but this time it’s a little more bearable. He has to lean heavily into the stem of a tall plant, but he manages to get to his feet. When a breeze sways the stem he sways with it, groaning again at the dizzying movement.

Shae yearns to lie back down, but he knows he won’t get a moment’s rest with the thrumming air and head-splitting noise. He needs quiet stillness in which to recover. If he stays here he might just go mad.

The tall grass and wildflowers are packed densely enough to always give him something to hold onto as he struggles forward one tiny step at a time.

Shae valiantly makes it almost two yards from the hives before his legs give out entirely. He lands heavily on his injured side and is out in an instant.

-

It’s at times like these that Shae wishes he had someone to tend to him. He fares well enough alone when he’s well, but when he’s weak, scared, and hurting, he so keenly feels the absence of comfort and companionship.

But when he wakes this time, he knows immediately that he is not alone.

Even with his eyes closed the looming presence of a human is unmistakable. Its shadow moves this way and that, moving things away from the washcloth that pillows the faerie. There’s a dull thump that startles Shae when a hand sets down a large bottle behind him.

That’s when he realizes…it’s quiet here. He aches all over but at least he has this - the incessant buzzing is gone.

One relief is followed by another. The human dabs something wet and cool onto the sting with a cotton swab; tension drains from Shae’s body as the pain eases.

“There you go. Poor thing…” the human pats on a small piece of gauze with her fingertip. “You’ll be okay. I know what I’m doing, I get stung all the time.”

“You’re not the size of a doll,” a second voice chimes in from across the room.

“Hush. He’ll be okay. Look, he’s waking up…hi, sweetie…”

Shae remains awake long enough for the beekeeper to give him water to drink and a gob of thick, sweet honey on a little piece of warm bread. That’s all his weary mind needs to convince him he’s safe. As soon as he’s licked the last bit of honey from his lips, the faerie sinks back down into the washcloth. His rescuer drapes a second one over him.

And Shae sleeps.

The fact that Bumblebee is pretty much an honorary rescue bot means he helps on more Unicron's Favorite Island adventures! Featuring lovely things such as Goddamn Is It The Time Machine Again, Doctor Morocco trying to reinstall his dictatorship again, evil computer who's doing the island equivalent of plastic wrap on the couch, fucked up geology, quantum physics shenanigans that make me want to shake a bitch, so many supernatural implications, and okay wow yes this island is a disaster of its own i know Bumblebee knows, but it's a different kind of disaster than the mainland🥰

Kilonova was like my Roman empire for at least 1/3 of this year, you don't understand how much it means to me

What if I cried? Too late. I cried. I don’t know what it is about it that people like but it is literally my child. That particular version of Dew means so much to me. Hence why it hurts me so much that I don’t have the brain power to write it right now. The plot is all there in my head. Like maybe someone can just crack open my skull and pull it out like sheets of honeycomb in a bees nest.
