I always forget there are maga people on tumblr, this doesn’t feel like a website you’d find them on, so to keep them away:
Reblog if your blog is a maga free zone because if it wasn’t clear enough fuck ice, fuck maga, fuck Trump, Fuck Rowling, and fuck all the other bigots I missed
Recently I got a new job and it requires me to be in giant buildings. I also have megalophobia so I have to just not look up at the buildings or out of them. Along with ignoring the fact I can feel them moving. So if Fulcrum gets a soft au I want to request his caretaker has megalophobia too. I just think it's funny if they are both having panic attacks about each other.
Resending this since I got a thing saying my ask couldn't send.
Oh, no 😥 that’s got to be rough. The error might be the inbox hitting critical since I’ve had a couple of other people say they’re getting errors, too lately. I may need to do an inbox purge :/
Soft
Fulcrum x Reader
• Swallowing convulsively, you really wish you’d realized this was going to be a problem before you took and spent the sign-on bonus. Had known big buildings always made you a bit uneasy, a little nauseous, but it hadn’t clicked that there was an actual problem. Until you’d hired on, went out walking on base, looked up at one of the massive aliens and just started tipping backwards in slow motion, heart racing and hands shaking. Chest constricting until you felt like you couldn’t breathe and you’d passed out. The base medic had thought it was absolutely hilarious once he’d figured out what was wrong with you. Especially considering your job. How are you supposed to deal with one of the giants one on one if you have panic attacks and pass out? If you’re scared out of your mind of giant things?
• ‘Are you kidding me right now?’ Ignoring Misfire’s dramatics, Fulcrum clears his vents. ‘I’m obviously the leader.’ Hardly, but it’s not worth a fight with the Seeker to point that out. And it’s not like Misfire isn’t aware that it’s Krok that holds them all together, that makes the hard decisions. He’s pretty sure Misfire is just upset because he’s bored and wants to frag. Apparently anything will do, too. Can’t even imagine interfacing with an organic. They’re weirdly soft and well, just weird. Smell weird, look weirdly Cybertronian, and they shed. All the time. Hair and skin cells just everywhere. Shuddering slightly, he watches Crankcase shove Misfire and a couple of humans walking nearby startle and run to get clear before shooting them dirty looks.
• Checking your phone and the picture you’d been given, you keep snagging on the goggles. Why does a giant alien robot need goggles? What’s he even transform into? Some of them you can sort of guess. This guy doesn’t really lend himself to anything in particular. The name is pretty weird, too. Fulcrum. Not exactly an exciting name like some of them. Has to stink to have a name like Fulcrum when there’s Rodimus and Sunstreaker and just better names. Maybe his name just translated weird? Freezing as you round a corner and see multiple giants, you end up staring at your boots like they hold the answer to all your questions. It would definitely help in finding your assigned alien if you could actually stand to look up at them. “Is this one of you?” You call out, holding up your phone. “Fulcrum?” You’ve struck out three times so far.
• Staring blankly at the human pointedly not looking at him and holding up a tiny device, he hears Misfire swearing in their language and yours. And he wants to do a little swearing, too. Doesn’t want an alien conjunx. Definitely doesn’t want you touching him. But Crankcase smacks him on the back hard enough to rock him forward a step, grabbing him by the back of his neck and pushing him toward you. “Here he is,” Crankcase says, grinning crookedly and so much for Scavenger solidarity. Your eyes flick up and you blanch, attention back on the ground. “Don’t be rude to your future squishy conjunx,” Crankcase adds, trying to force him to bend down and he’s venting raggedly. Knows he’s going to purge if you touch him. “Say hi.”
• Daring to look up sends your heart racing, chest constricting. The one has a chunk of his head just missing and he’s bending your assigned mech toward you so they’re both looming over you. Too big, too close. Hyperventilating as your vision goes gray at the edges, your knees buckle when you try to retreat. Can’t breathe. Can hear the funny, hitching sounds you’re making as the third one moves closer. Surrounding you as you shake. And it’s almost a relief when you pass out, hearing one of them laughing that you two are a perfect match right before you hit the ground.
hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)
✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈
And if you're in a bind and your search engine allows it (google does), filter image results by date. meaning "show only images before day xyz" (it's in the search tools). put in December 2021. no AI results
The setting that prevents your work being used to train AI models is turned off by default! I had no idea about this until now! Artists, go to your settings, click “visibility”, and turn on this setting! Protect your work!
I have art block ಥ╭╮ಥ so I'm going to be doing screen redraws and doodles till I can get back into the swing of it. Bottom right is a reference I used from @adorkastock.com The two characters up top are constanze and sucy from 'Little Witch Academy'.
