[ INTRO POST ]
[ Hey all! Mod here,
All of the other Transformers "-standing" blogs will be in my public following list, so if you somehow haven't run into them yet and find the content on my blog fun, go give them a follow!
Mod's pronouns are They/Any, while standing Beachcomber is He/Any (you guys could go crazy with his pronouns if you want).
In-character text is the same as default, no fancy coloration.
Tag Key & Boundaries Below:
Beachcomber, have you ever done activity's with your friends before?
Yeah, of course! I'm always open to hanging out!
I mean, as long as it's catch-and-release, I don't think it'd hurt! I'll consider it.
Why don't you talk about rocks more... isn't your job rocks-man or something
That's a good point, I could definitely talk about geology some more on here if that's something you guys find interesting!
What's a fun geology fact that you know?
Ohh, that's a hard one!
There are a lot of cool things about geology, but I think if I had to pick one fact to hook someone into the field, it would be that certain types of minerals can flouresce under various different wavelengths of UV light!
Above is a pretty poor quality photo from a rock museum exhibit that showcased UV fluorescence. Look at all that color!
As a good example of this phenomenon on hand, here's a piece of a kind of rock called yooperlite that I snagged recently! These rocks are most commonly found around Lake Superior in Michigan, but you can often just get 'em at museum gift shops.
Pretty unsuspecting looking rock, right? It's got that igneous granite rock sort of texture (it's actually syenite! Similar appearance, different composition), with big visible coarse grains of different minerals interspersed throughout.
Now, however, when I shine some UV light on it, you really start to see a change.
Shut off the lights, and BAM!
You've now got yourself a cool little rock that looks almost like a whole fiery constellation trapped in stone. Isn't that pretty sweet? There's a whole hidden world of color in the places you least expect it, and I think that's beautiful.
Anyways, the UV flashlight used here is around 390nm, but 365nm is generally the best to get that sodalite to pop without so much of a purple light blast over everything. This applies for a lot of other minerals that flouresce around the same wavelength as well!
If you wanted to, you could absolutely go outside and rock hunt around with one of these flashlights to see if you can find anything cool laying around, but be sure to wear appropriate eye protection and stay mindful of the local wildlife! Too much UV light can disrupt animals' circadian rhythm, and it can harm their eyesight as well if you're not careful where you point it.
With that kept in mind, however; have fun with it!
You should chew on @beachcomber-standing again.
Wh.. why??? I mean I could. I very much could.
Wait a second- I thought he didn't like that. Or did he???
... hmmm- *Shrug*
Yeah, haha, I'm not particularly a fan of being chewed on. I don't think anyone is, really, but that's ok!
You know, humans have these sort of sensory chew stim toys that they've got for anyone who needs them to gnaw on safely. Does that sound like something you'd be interested in? Maybe we could find something close to that that's you-sized, and you could try that out whenever your fancy for chewing on something strikes. Or, we could get a massive, like, bar of gum?
Gum??? You just chew it?? Why- Uhhh sure then.
It won't taste like that thing you gave me before right? It was... Ugch
Gum it is, then, friend!
Yeah, it's just for chewing! Apparently it helps clean teeth a little too and keeps your breath fresh.
And, don't worry, gum comes in a whole bunch of different flavors! They've got peppermint, spearmint, tropical fruits, and a whole slew of other flavors you could pick from. I'm sure we could find something you like!
Fish!!! I want fish flavor.
Fish, huh? That... might complicate things, just a little bit. I don't think that's a very popular flavor, if it even exists, so I'm not sure if we could get enough to be usable for you. :(
We could look into getting some custom-made, though, maybe? Synthetic chemistry isn't really in my wheelhouse, but we could check in with the other scientists and see if they'd be interested in cooking up some real fishy gum for you?

Beachcomber! It's so very delightful to see you here on this website! I hope you are doing well for yourself!

Hey, Perce! It's pretty groovy seeing you standing with us now, welcome to the club!!
I've in fact been doing pretty well, thanks! Been spending a lot of solo, off-screen time out enjoying the beautiful nature this wonderful planet has to offer lately, which was why I didn't see your message until now; sorry about that!
How about you? Been doing any exciting science, lately?
It's entirely alright! It sounds as if you've had a fantastic adventure and I wouldn't wish to interrupt that!
As for me, I admit that I have been a little distracted exploring the interwebs, so I haven't been as focused on my projects as I would prefer to be. But! I am working on creating an improved thermal interface material rated for Cybertronian use! It will have inbuilt nanites that search for your individual components and bind to them, afterwards they will repurpose themselves as a heatsink!
And after the material partially melts and properly binds, it will also serve as a barrier to any internal infections or contaminants as well as slow the spread of internal leakage, allowing the individual mech more time to get the care they require! It will be a firm layer of protection while allowing medics to cut into or remove any faulty components!
I was originally planning for it to be a thermal pad with phase change materials, but unfortunately I grew a tad too frustrated with the results I achieved.
After telling you about it, I'm feeling rather impatient! I really must return to it! You have my utmost gratitude for asking about it, Beachcomber!
Nahh, you wouldn't be interrupting anything, I'm always happy to chat!
And, woah, that sounds like it could save lives for sure! Thank you in turn for telling me about it, it sure is neat to hear about the things you've got cooking up (or cooling down, in this case, haha!)!
Keep up the good work, friend! I hope everything with your project goes smoothly, and I look forward to seeing it come to life!

*pat pat* for you because I miss you and enjoy seeing you smile.
Thanks, that's very sweet of you, friend! I miss being here, too; I don't know when I'll be back and active again, but I don't plan to stay away for long.
I'm just too fond of the bots around here even with the crazy chaos they bring, between all of it there are moments of joy, with bonds being made and friendships being discovered, and I think that's precious. Even if I'm not quite as built for these situations as I wish I were, I'm happy knowing I've at least gotten to witness those fleeting things.
It's like birdsong, in a way.
Beachcomber? I hardly know 'er!
I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by that, my anonymous friend?
put some water on him????
👍 hes good now
