I hope none of you disappear in the coming days. Seriously don't do anything that can't be undone.

I know i'm just a random person you follow online but I mean it. People (all kinds of marginalised people too!) Have survived all types of horrible times and managed to find happiness eventually. If for no one else, survive for them. And also, try to survive because the people making you despair don't want you to live. Don't give this to them. Don't give your life. The best thing you can do is cling to it with everything you've got.

You ever think that the Big Bill Hell's car commercial sounds kind of like something the Combaticons would come up with to "help" Swindle advertise? No? Yeah, I'm not sure why that popped into my head either, but...here.

"Mama?"

"Yes, baby?"

"I get to say one bad word a week, right?"

Blackout stops and unplugs his headphones, giving his full attention to Ky. "I mean, yeah, if it's necessary."

"And I didn't say one last week, right?"

"I don't got the best memory anymore, but I don't think so. Why?"

Kyan scuffs a foot. "Skydive made me mad at school today. Can I say two?"

"...Well," the tyton looks around. "Riella's out, so, sure. Take a crack at it."

The youngling takes in a deep vent.

"WHY'S SKYDIVE GOTTA BE SUCH A FUCKING BITCH."

Blackout blinks.

"...Feel better?"

Ky nods. "Yeah."

I think this is the third time today.

Only because I ran into my own reblog of this a few seconds after reblogging. Curse this post, this war of reblogging this has been going on for a year.

i love when characters don't get to die

[remnantglow]

this is about villains/antagonists/general horrible people who finally face up to what they've done. especially if they try to pull the good ole "Dramatically Does One Good Thing To Redeem Themselves And Dies," but despite their best efforts they DON'T die. like yes motherfucker there's no easy way out for you, there's only the slow, awkward and painful process of learning to live with yourself. of learning to live with the weight of your mistakes. you get a second chance regardless of if you think you deserve it. you get to try to make amends and do good. you get to live.

[remnantglow]

this is also about every self-sacrificial bastard of a protagonist who puts themselves in harm's way again and again and again to a wildly unhealthy and unnecessary degree. see, there's something so compelling to me in the unspoken suicidality of repeated heroic self-sacrifice, and the thing about implicitly suicidal characters is that i want them to live. and that can be used to make a death so much more tragic and impactful - noble sacrifices and last stands certainly can and have been done beautifully - but there's also something special to me in seeing such a character make it. because you'd die for the people you love, yes, but would you live for them?

❝ I don’t care that you run away, I care that you do it badly. ❞ From Optimus.

"Look, Prime, if I wanted to talk, I'd talk. If you want to call avoiding you running away, I can't stop you."

Never mind that she does, actually, keep running away, and last time she ran into a curb.

AO3 Link

Summary: In Cybertron’s war-torn southern hemisphere, Elita One and her team prepare to defend the final Autobot outpost in Sector S-19 – if they can learn Shockwave’s plans before it’s too late. In the ruins of an ancient city, Shockwave creates what will be the last weapon the Decepticons ever need – if he can control it before it turns on him. And deep underground, an Autobot spy far out of her league makes contact with someone so old the planet has all but forgotten him…  

Continuity: AU Transformers Bayverse (not including BB18) Rating: M / R Relationships: Greenlight/Lancer, Hound/Mirage, Chromia/Elita One Characters: Elita One, Chromia, Firestar, Red Alert, First Aid, Prowl, Shockwave, Mirage, Riella (OC), Electron (OC) Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence (canon-typical for Bayverse but treated as people damage and not robot damage), Major Character Death, Minor Character Death, Dubious Medical Ethics, Moral Dilemmas, Bittersweet Ending

Now complete, after eight years of work! I haven’t had time to crosspost it to Dreamwidth yet (that’s a project for later), but all thirty-one chapters are finally up on AO3, with a nice shiny new summary that reflects the fic a little better than the original and some updated tags.

Nick: “Can you stop yelling at me? I’m small, and sensitive, and only stabbed one dude!”

Out of Context Skyrim Reactions | Accepting

"Yeah, that's the problem here! Stab more people! I won't always be around to pull your aft out of the fire. And get a bigger knife while you're at it, that one's tiny even by my standards. I'm not usually a 'size matters' kind of girl, but trust me, knife size matters."

Out of context things I’ve said while playing Skyrim  {Sentence Starters}

“THAT’S A DOG!”

“You blocked me? Really?”

“So… you WANT to get robbed?”

“Aw, shoot, I’m being kidnapped.”

“For my hands only? I doubt that.”

“See, this is why we don’t jump off cliffs.”

“Let’s settle this with fisticuffs! And magic!”

“I need a drink…”  *downs 10 bottles of wine*

“You’re on fire, why are you still fighting me??”

“I’m gonna steal from a guard, just to prove a point.”

“Wow, it’s almost like you regret shooting at my head!”

“Get out of my house, I didn’t even want to talk to you!”

“Yeah, you signed up to carry my burdens, deal with it.”

“Please stop popping up behind me, that’s so unnerving!”

“I can make poisons… but not alcohol? This is bullhonkey.”

“Oh no, I’ve come down with a terrible case of BLOODLUST.”

“Can’t a friendly neighborhood assassin do her work in peace?”

“Keep sassing me like that and I’ll give you an arrow to the knee.”

“Staying safe? Well, I just got into a fistfight with a dragon, so, no…”

“If you’re sneaky enough, you can stab someone and they won’t notice.”

“Can you stop yelling at me? I’m small, and sensitive, and only stabbed one dude!”

First Snow

Riella wakes up to a chill in the air and near-total silence from outside the aerie. The wind has died down, but so has the fire, and while her spot cuddled up against Blackout’s chest is warm and cozy, she can feel the drop in temperature the moment she sits up.
