Last of the fish drawn up for the !randomfish Twitch command. The command now spawns a random fish drawing on screen alongside a random fish related voice clip that I recorded.

It was a silly incentive spawned from Tazer Silverscar messing around with mistyping !randomshit command XD

a new redeem - !song

I put the finishing touches on a new redeem last night. It's something I've been meaning to do for a long time and really happy with how it has turned out.

It was also a revisit to an earlier idea from a previous stream era.

Turning websites into usable web-services via headless browser scripts.

In this case, I'm letting chat generate songs by typing lyrics into chat.

By typing "!song [lyrics go here]" in chat, (1) SAMMI will send the text to my jerry rigged web service running on my stream box. (2) It will then communicate with the external website, wait for it to produce the video, download the video to my local machine, and (3) via SAMMI's webhooks, alert SAMMI that the video file is ready to view.

Before, I tried doing this in ruby and deploying an application to an external service (like Heroku). The problem with this approach was that I was unable to easily configure the chrome drivers on Heroku's service. It would immediately go out of date the second I got it working, and updating to the latest one was always painful and sometimes impossible.

Fast forward to now, and I've fallen in love with the simplicity of Flask, which is a very lightweight web-server meant to handle straight forward web service calls.

Scripting on Flask with Selenium and Python threads has been a dream compared to my last approach. Running everything locally makes it easy to integrate with SAMMI, which makes it easy to integrate with OBS and Twitch.

SAMMI has always grown a lot in the last couple of years, making these integrations much easier than it used to be.

TL;DR

S2a undermines the concept of redemption so badly it makes me want to cry.

Megatron changing for the better is interesting because it’s complicated. He used to be a warlord, a tyrant, people suffered directly as a consequence of his actions. Unfortunately ES fails to show us these consequences. The closes we have are Starscreams words and that is far from showing us anything.

There are no flashbacks, no actual conversations. Nothing but the present and most of it is from childrens perspective.

This lack of nuance is frustrating. For all we know Megatron might’ve acted exactly the same, but changed factions therefore he is a good guy know.

And this “autobots = good, decepticons = bad” morality is so on the nose in s2a it’s actually kind of pathetic.

The new season needed a villain, and all the hatred for cybertronians apparently evaporated (everybody else just had a change of heart ig and the only 2 people who actually disliked them are dead) and the cons were “always” bad so it doesn’t matter.

It allows the writers not to think about Megatron and problems accompanying his redemption because his victims are terrible so… it’s all fine, don’t worry 👍.

Perhaps it isn’t this way and I majorly misinterpreted the show.

The existence of the chaos terrans really makes me doubt it tho. It also makes me incredibly mad.

Aftermath literally comes into existence, has no idea what’s going on, who is everyone and they’re all fighting. So he does too. And immediately gets called terrible, basically the evil version of the terrans.

WHAT KIND OF MESSAGES IS THAT?

That because you aren’t from a perfect family you’re evil? That is what I got out of it.

Terrans = whole Emberstone = good

Chaos terrans = broken Emberstone = bad

For a show about acceptance and empathy that is a terrible plot point 😀

The episode with Aftermath and Jawbreaker (was extremely boring imo but that’s not important) gives you the impression they’re going to further develop Aftermath. Have him questioning orders and thinking about his choices. But no, he STOLE the entire water from a cave in one tank (how did he even manage???)

Spitfire is an even worse example.

On her first day alive, she gets told that if she wins a race she gets to go on an autobot mission.

She wins, by endangering Alex, and they tell her she won’t get the reword. It’s all understandable but the writers clearly don’t know anything about raising children or children in general.

Yes Spitfire did a bad thing and has to be taught that her behaviour was bad. No they cannot be mad at her for not immediately understanding and agreeing with them. That’s why children (especially toddlers) are infuriating. They don’t know better so you have to teach them, but they will find a loophole to help them get what they want (obviously depends on a child but we are rolling with Spitfires personality). Now depending on what they’ve done to get to it you either reward them or punish them. Because they don’t necessarily understand what they did wrong, even if it’s obvious to you, it can be hard to explain in a way that satisfies a child.

Spitfire lashing out and attacking Twitch is common for kids who believe that someone got something they deserved. It’s especially common if a kid has problems with aggression.

That could’ve been an interesting character development and a good message. Sometimes children won’t be easy to deal with (as all the terrans are, sure they can make bad decisions but ultimately they don’t cause much problems), sometimes they have unpleasant personalities or behavioural problems but it doesn’t make them evil. Being there and loving a child isn’t enough to raise them, discipline is needed and so is patience.

But no.

Aftermath and Spitfire are chaos terrans so they are evil by proxy. Too bad lol.

Twitch and Thrash needed to learn everything. So did Nightshade, Hashtag and Jawbreaker. There was a great deal about self discovery.

Aftermath and Spitfire already have alt modes (at least Spitfire I don’t actually remember Aftermath) and they are just terrible, no good people.

Case closed, problem solved.

Oh. And then they died so…

Unlucky 🤷‍♀️

Redemption in media, especially kids media is important. It sends a message that you can in fact mess up in life, make a couple (hundreds) of mistakes and still come out on top.

But redemption is earned, and it can be (and often is) hard to changed for the better (as opposed to changing for worse).

You shouldn’t change for those you have hurt but so it won’t happen again, so you won’t hurt others again.

Some will come back, some will not.

It IS important that you try nonetheless.

Because no matter what explaining isn’t excusing and no one is born evil.

This show is so FRUSTRATING to me because I cared, and still do obviously (I wrote two versions of this but accidentally deleted the first one so had to write one again).

I really hope S2b will be back on track about acceptance and redemption.

I think Starscream deserved better but sincerely hope they (autobots) will get a hold of him, and him and Megatron will actually talk.

At least let Starscream have his father-daughter relationship with Hashtag, please 🙏.

twitch channel point redeem doodle for @rinienna <333

[awoken-artist]

{Art Created on Sep 5, 2022 }

Finished this Art on stream on my Twitch Channel and I am happy with the result! Honestly was something I am extremely proud of and hope everyone who was able to attend the stream enjoyed it as well. If anyone has missed me announcing when I stream [I post on my statues posts and sometimes journals here] you can click the link down below here to my twitch channel and check it out. I also have it linked on my profile page as well.   Can say the one I am more proud of when it comes to this art piece is drawing the serpent form of Envy and I had done my best to look at one of the references from the film itself of when Envy had his jaws open during the scene fight with Ed and Envy and some of Haushofer and his men. I am super happy how he came out and also with the bottom half as well. I did my best to silhouette the humunculi in it and wanted to capture the alchemized hand and the philosopher stone [to give a nod to the art we see I think either episode 2 or 3. I forget which but I know its near the beginning of the FMA 2003 series, of the hand and the stone] This was one of the many Arts that got selected from my Twitch Channel Redeem which is called "Doodle Doodle Redeem". Its where anyone who use their channel points can select it if they got enough points to click, I have to spin the wheel I have made for myself and select anything on the wheel and I have to draw whatever show or such its on the wheel. FMA Conqueror of Shamballa was funny enough, the first it got picked. It seems to know I miss drawing FMA.   I plan to do another Doodle Art Redeem stream again maybe this week. Depending what happens. ^u^ I will keep you guys updated about it. I am honestly currently working back on a FMA Fanfiction of mine cause it needs re-works and also need to redo my FMA OC's ref a bit more. Make a brotherhood version and FMA 2003 & FMA COS refs too, because there is definitely changes that does happen in it.  Very glad to be drawing FMA Again. >:3

🌸🍡Please don’t steal and resubmit/repost my works without my permission! thanks!🍡🌸

Ao3 authors notes and Twitch streamers 'hydrate' and 'stretch' redeemables are both indicators of how a passion project can be so important to us that we will set aside personal care and continue working on our projects despite whatever chaos is happening in our life. In this essay I will
