Guys I want to do an experiment, I did it with a group of friends and now I'm doing it here.

Everyone that is able to comprehend the questions and options is randomly transported to a room with two buttons and an explanation of each, that's it.

Blue button: if more than 50% of people press it then everyone, including those who push red, are saved

Red button: if you press the red button then you're saved, but everyone who presses blue isn't

Which do you press?

Red button

Blue button

Remaining time: 6 days 8 hours

Got this from a clair_hawkins YouTube video, gotta give credit where credit is due

Hey, just a reminder,

Just because LGBTQ+ pride month is technically over doesn't mean we disappear.

The companies will take down their rainbows, their pride merch will go on sale, but we're still here.

Just because pride month is over doesn't mean we cease to exist.

Continue to be openly and unapologetically queer if you're able to, now more than ever.

We're still here, we still deserve our sunshine.

And happy disability pride month to everyone as well.

"Tutorial" on how to "draw" a blind OC.

My kofi

Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general. Links below so that you can research and do a nuance. Ones that were directly mentioned are bolded.

Writing a blind character 101 What to avoid etc Video on types of white canes Video on types of cane tips Some more explanation on white canes + tips + other stuff Guide animals Video on working with a guide dog ↑ if you're doing a non-dog non-horse animal please still perceive those two links. A guide animal is not a GPS that tells you "left" or "right" (in fact, you're the one telling it which direction you want to go). So before giving them something weird check if it actually makes sense. You can make a fantasy animal that still makes sense I promise 🦮👍 But why are Magical White Eyes a problem Same as above Going blind from an accident Video on conformers World's most basic "what do you call someone with albinism" The blindfold thing. No people don't wear these. This mostly stupid trope of covering a blind character's eyes because lord forbid someone sees a disabled body part This just stupid trope of giving a blind character some bs superpower to "see" The echolocation thing that every other blind oc does for some reason Just give them a cane good lord if you want a character that can see perfectly then maybe don't make them blind Bonus: if your character has a bunch of scars or whatever else then congrats! You made a character with a facial difference. Which is also something you should research.

Consider this,

Bloodymary where Grace is still aroace

Just because he's in a relationship with Simon doesn't make him any less aroace

Aroace characters (even if it's just a very popular headcanon that's basically just accepted as canon now) can still be shipped with other characters and it doesn't make them any less aroace because aroace people can be in relationships too

Cloudchaser fact: she's more Velocitronian than Cybertronian in terms of build

More under cut

She's incredibly tall. Incredibly tall for a Cybertronian, that is. And her build is lighter along with her gears and belts being different. All of this is because of Velocitron and the differences in culture and literally the planet's atmosphere.

She's in between Smokescreen's and Ratchet's height, that's normal for a femme on Velocitron. Look at Arcee though, she's tiny, so everyone gets thrown for a loop by this absolute giant of a femme.

She's also very sleek and that's just because of the racing culture so she positioned her frame like that (triple changer ability to change how plating sits when in bot mode).

In addition to being sleek, she's lightweight. She has minimal planting and has zero additional plating that doesn't serve a purpose.

Being born and raised on the planet has literally affected the way she is built and how she looks.

Cloudchaser fact: she's not Cybertronian

More under cut

Okay, so, her parents are Cybertronian so technically she's Cybertronian, but she'd lived her entire life on Velocitron. Then she went for a race, stayed a few more days just to see where her creators were from, and ended up in the war and couldn't get back to Velocitron. She tried to leave and the Decepticons gave her a pod but to no one's surprise (except for her's) it sent her to Earth instead of Velocitron because that's where the Decepticons were going. She was in stasis the entire time.

So, because of this, she despises the factions. She doesn't totally hate the Autobots but she hates the fact that their war kept her from going back to her home.

She knows that the Autobots are the good guys and that she should probably care a little more about the war because technically she's Cybertronian but she just hates that they contributed to her not being able to go home and she doesn't care too much about the war because she doesn't see it as her war because she doesn't see herself as Cybertronian first.

In honour of pride month I finally decided what to make my Marvel OC after bouncing between identities for them for a while (woman, gender fluid, non-binary, trans)

They're trans masc and use they/them pronouns now!

Send asks if you'd like to know more about them

Subtly hinting that I want Ivory Coast to fucking destroy Germany this Saturday (they'll both move on anyway) while they're all focused on how far our country's team will get (it won't be far, it never is). We've watched every match today.

[l-the-alien]

Guys I'm neither French nor from the Ivory Coast but I just watched the Ivory Coast beat Ecuador one nil and I'm definitely rooting for them to win, they play so beautifully and I've always kinda liked France for the world cup. Ivory Coast is my top team now. Go Ivory Coast!!

Cloudchaser's "imperfections"

So, I headcanon that bots that are mixed in the sense that they come from more than one type, such as Cloudchaser being half seeker and half grounder, are more prone to what Cybertronians think of as imperfections and a lot of them are very similar to humans.

Cloudchaser has a gap in her two front denta, think Anthony Mackie tooth gap, and some of her denta are slightly crooked. She also has heterochromia, one optic is light blue and the other is a darker blue.

Does any of this affect her self confidence though? No, she loves what she looks like and wouldn't trade any of it. She loves her denta gap and that a few are crooked. She loves her heterochromia, she just wears the visor cause she likes it.

She loves every single part of herself with her whole spark.

Holoforms and Cloudchaser's holoform

Holoforms don't exist in my Stargazing and seeking AU, only the unnamed one with Cloudchaser, name decided by the transformers poll before this.

So, holoforms exist in the Cloudchaser AU, set in the Prime universe, but what rules apply to them in my mind?

Well, the alt form needs to be nearby, they take more energy than simply just being a bot or in an alt form, and the bots design them themselves.

Okay, with that established here's what Cloudchaser's would most likely look like:

Fun fact, she would make her's mixed! She's very proud of the fact that she's half seeker and half grounder, despite it being kinda frowned upon in Cybertronian culture. So, after she finds out that humans can be mixed too she almost makes her holoform mixed. That is, until she finds out about vitiligo. After that she makes her holoform black with a big afro and vitiligo along with making one of her eyes green and the other brown.

For clothes she goes with obnoxious blue sunglasses that are basically completely opaque and shaped like stars. She gives her holoform a septum piercing and several ear piercings. Along with wearing shirts that don't leave much to the imagination and a black leather jacket. She loves changing her outfits and wearing fun, chunky heels or boots like Doc Martens that she took the time to bedazzle. One thing that always stays consistent though is that her clothes are normally some shade of blue, or at the very least her shirt is. She normally wears jeans for pants. If she's going and doing something fun, like going to a party, she'll wear a fun dress.

She's consistently always the best dressed of any of the Autobot holoforms and the most fun (to Jack and Miko).
