Mmm yes, trans Vehicons

Vehicons post war, trying to become individuals. Getting into their passions, expressing their opinions. Changing their metal and eye colours. Modifying their alt-forms. Changing their body shapes. Changing their voices

Vehicons awakening their sense of self

Some Vehicons will be trans. This will occur on the timelines months to past year one, Vehicons being introduced as “she” or “they” and previous “he” Vehicon characters suddenly using “she” or “they” by the next time you see them

Pronouns in Mercy reflect what the characters would have chosen if speaking English and if they understood gender. The Cybertronian language did not reflect this change, but I know at what point the Vehicons would have decided “he” did not cover them. I don’t think Vehicons have to all be “he” when they have individual souls and will feel different ways about themselves and how they like their current bodies. In the two Mercy stories you have seen right now, they are all “he” but just wait, that will change

And there are some characters in the Aligned Continuity, toys for example, that used “he” in the bios. I can actually change their pronouns because the old pronouns could have reflected the bot’s sense of self then, but they have a better sense of themselves now. Bludgeon was labelled “he” and I know this, yet I will use “they” with the character in Mercy. Changing genders isn’t actually going to clash with canon because the past is the same

Body changes will not necessarily result in a gender change for a character. Vehicons who change their shape to something more feminine will still have “he” users among them while some are “she”. It’s a demonstration that body isn’t dictating the gender.

((I would therefore appreciate people not changing the gender/pronouns of the characters in the game when talking about them. They are all representations and for example, calling Trepan “she” takes away a trans masc type of character))

THE MISCONCEPTION ABOUT COMMENTING ON FIC

I’ve read all kinds of posts both from writers and readers lamenting about comments on fic. Authors are upset when they don’t get any, readers don’t know what kinds of comments to leave, etc. And it finally clicked in my brain why I think a lot of people don’t bother writing comments. 

And this is what it boils down to:

Writers do not want praise.  We just want to talk about our story. 

I can’t speak for everyone obviously - but I think the majority of writers don’t care so much for the “omg you’re a brilliant writer!!” comments as much as we just want to hear your thoughts on the story. Even if it’s just your thoughts as you’re reading of “oooh x happened! I can’t believe y said this! What’s going to happen now that z has happened?!” We literally just want to talk about what we’ve written like you would with a friend about a tv show. We’re not out here demanding praise like some entitled narcissist. 

While praising our writing skills or writing style is appreciated, it doesn’t need to be said on every fic and every chapter that you read. If you regularly comment on someone’s work that’s telling enough that you like our technique. Readers shouldn’t feel pressured to have to praise a writer’s abilities every time they want to comment. 

In the grand scheme of things, talking about the fic/chapter is actually more helpful to us writers instead of spewing praise. It’s the same with artwork. As nice as it is that people tell me “wow your art is so pretty!” it’s a LOT more useful to me to get comments like “I love their expressions!” or “the lighting on this is gorgeous!” because then I know WHAT people are liking about it. If no one ever comments on my backgrounds, I now know what to improve. If most people comment on liking the expressions, I now know the strong points of my art and can use it to my advantage to make even better art in the future. 

The same goes for fic. If multiple people tell me they liked a certain part of the story I now know that things similar to that are a hit. It’s feedback I can use to improve the story and give my readers more of what they want. Without that I have no idea what they like about the fic.

Talking with a writer about their story also gives them inspiration!! Nothing gets us more in the mood to work on a fic than to have people wanting to talk about it. A lot of times just talking about one of my fics with someone will give me that push to continue working on it. Getting a comment that just says “great chapter” or “you’re a great writer” doesn’t do much to motivate us to continue that particular fic. But if you talk about the story and the characters it gives us motivation to continue working on it, may even give us ideas for future chapters. I would hope that those of you with “comment anxiety” find this approach so much easier than trying to praise the writer every time you read.

So that fic the author hasn’t updated in forever that you’re dying to read? Talk to them about the fic and the elements of the story! It will make the writer want to talk to you about it and will get their mind thinking about it, hopefully inspiring them to continue where they left off. Fics that are left in silence are more likely to be abandoned or even deleted because nothing feels worse than putting your heart into a story to have no one say anything about it. 

TLDR; Writers do not want praise, we just want to talk with our readers about the story itself, and these are the kinds of comments that inspire us to keep writing more.

Deadpool introduces Danny Phantom to the 4th wall.

3am lemon run 🍋 (as one does) in socks n’ knock off slides with your informally adopted son/human nightlight.

[Image ID: a short digital comic featuring Deadpool from Marvel comics and Danny from the cartoon Danny Phantom. The scene is set at night, Danny’s eyes are glowing brightly.

Panel 1: Deadpool is holding a large basket filled with lemons and Danny similarly has his arms full of lemons. Deadpool looks down at Danny and says, “Hey Danny, you’re an interdimensional being that can perceive things beyond this plane of existence, right?”.

Panel 2: A closeup of Danny’s face; he looks away thoughtfully. Danny: “Uhhhhh-” Danny’s thoughts: “Monster from another dimension? Souls dead? What are ghosts?”

Panel 3: Another closeup; Danny looks back to Deadpool. Danny’s thoughts: “Sure. Close enough.” Danny: “Yeah, I guess. Why?”

Last Panels: Deadpool, in meta text: “Sweet. We’re taking a shortcut.”. He grabs onto the top edge of the comic panel with one hand and swings his left leg out of the bottom of the panel. Several of his lemons spill out of the basket into the comic below. At this point it’s revealed that he’s only wearing the top half of his proper costume; instead he’s wearing a pair of blue pajama shorts and socks with sandals. In the background, Danny looks shocked and concerned.

Danny’s thoughts: “Is this legal?”

The outer borders between the panels have faded into white, leaving most of the canvas empty. Danny is sitting perched on the edge of the last remaining comic panel, watching Deadpool’s lemons spill out of the previous panel. He says, “Yo, what the fuck.” Deadpool is standing next to him, out of the bounds of the panels. The spilled lemons are resting on the blank space next to his feet. He replies: “I know right?”.

The underpaid disney employees on their way to evict me and my family

[leeshuh]

disney literally tried to do this ages ago. please watch defunctland explain it. im losing my mind. why

[rainbow-femme]

I would like to let people know that is a reality for many of the underpaid Disney employees as they can’t afford housing on their salaries

So Disney has apartment buildings it buys to rent cheaply to their employees

And I’m sure you can imagine the level of control Disney has over you when they control your employment and your housing

Originally it was just for the college program employees (like me) but got expanded to being available to all employees

Now I don’t know how it is with the full time employees, but if you were a college employee and you got “termed?” (Disney loves alternative language to control their employees, see being a ‘cast member on stage’ vs an employee at work). After being termed you had 24 hours to move out

Now, guess how well that worked for 19 year olds from Ohio who have nowhere to sleep and no way to get home

I knew a guy who had two “strikes” against him (calling out of work gets points against you, 3 points get you a strike) that had been waved as he had good reasons to miss those days. He then made a comment his supervisor didn’t like so she reversed the strikes being waved and gave him the third one for his comment. He then had to call his parents at 2 am to tell them he was now homeless in Orlando. Imagine if your boss could evict you for talking back

Now imagine you’re one of the many semi retired employees trying to stay afloat through their 70s, or the many employees who are recent immigrants, or who are parents of kids, or anyone else without a lot of work or housing options

Think of the shit they’d be able to do to you if losing your job meant immediately losing housing because your boss owns your home

Think of how much leverage that gives against the unions when your workers aren’t even secure from their employer in their home, where union dues paying for you to not work can’t save you from eviction because your boss decides if you get to live there

Any fucked up thing Disney does is almost always worse for their employees, and likely tested on them first
