Prompt 3: "Date Night"

Following a rather precarious battle, Bumblebee and Blitzwing hunker down where they can while figuring out a way to escape their current predicaments. It doesn't take long for Bumblebee to fall to exhaustion, leaned against the powerful triplechanger - who, surprisingly, doesn't mind.

I wanted to be a little silly and a little narratively inclined with this prompt so I may have skewed the meaning of "date night" to mean "anything tangentially romantic" wgsidnfj

Anyway! This was a joy and a pain to work on because I really wanted to show my beloved friend @bearhaironthechair how much their friendship has meant to me over the past year and how much I've grown to love this silly little ship because of them and their constant silly antics. To be quite honest, before I'd met them, I wasn't a huge blitzbee fan and was in fact considering not shipping it at all, but our conversations and downright fangirling over two fictional robot men has made me appreciate the ship far more than I anticipated

A toast to idiots in love!

God, there is just something so tragic about watching a show and fandom you loved turn so damn vile.

The Amazing Digital Circus got me through one of the hardest parts of my life and I've loved it for the last couple of years - but I just can't in good conscience continue to interact with it anymore because of everything that's happened to Gooseworx. She put her whole self to make this show and it's like, at any opportunity, her own fandom is willing to tear her apart.

Lower your damn expectations. Stop feeling entitled to things. Goose is just one person who can only do so much, and she's already done quite a lot.

I really need people to understand that "separate art from the artist" only really works if the artist is dead or otherwise harmless. It does not work when the artist is actively using the popularity and wealth you give them to harm people :/

It is with immense excitement that I announce that many of the fabulous friends I've made thanks to this goofy ship and I will be having

A BlitzBee Bonanza

at the end of May! Get ready for the wonderful works of @the-awakened-insomnis, @rintinningvt, @robo-holo, @lyrebite, @djwolfie4812, @p12lysanderdelanne, @hirakaz33, @l00n3y-lynn, @einfivre, @blutratte, and @marshmeowlow! May has been the unofficial month of BlitzBee for some time now, especially in thanks to wonderful events such as BlitzBee Week! Reflecting on it, I have long been wanting to do something with my soldiers in ship arms during the month that celebrates the ship as a shared point of levity between us. In many ways, this ship is made all the more valuable by the people that enjoy it alongside you as it is by showing off your own love of it! As a part of this collaborative BlitzBee appreciation effort, everyone participating in the bonanza will be creating an art piece about the ship based on a prompt of their choosing from the list below, with the final piece to be posted over the May 29 to May 31 weekend!

For my BlitzBee buddies taking part in this occasion, you only need to make one piece for the whole weekend that you can post at your convenience over those three days! The piece can be a digital piece, a traditional piece, a written piece, a three-dimensional piece, or whatever embodiment of the goobers brings you the most joy to create! Whether you are posting it in its final form or simply sharing a WIP that you're proud of, please tag your piece as "#ABlitzBeeBonanza" along with any other tags of your choosing!

Now, time for- The Blitzbee Bonanza Prompts (to Pick From!):

Prompt 1: “My favorite idiots” - No specificity, no guidelines, just show off what Blitzbee as a ship is/means to you! 

Prompt 2: “A blast to the past" - Remake the first piece of Blitzbee art/content you ever made with your latest style/designs/headcanons!

Prompt 3: “Date night/day” - Draw what you think a date between the two might look like! Are they going for a walk? Grabbing a bite to eat? Committing a felony? You decide!

Prompt 4: “Unabashed self-indulgence” - Draw yourself, your sona, or your OC(s) with the yellow/black and purple/khaki doofuses! It can be as goofy, sincere, or chaotic as makes your moment of self-insertion entertaining!

Prompt 5: “Something sweet, something salty” - Create a more finalized/detailed piece featuring BlitzBee, and then create an intentionally silly/ugly/opposing version of the first piece to contrast it! Think of it like your own art having a “good ending vs. bad ending” interaction!

Prompt 6: “A lovers' quarrel” - It seems Blitzwing and Bumblebee are in conflict again. Is that conflict an argument over what to order for dinner? Is it them attempting to kill one another over an increasingly realized sense of loyalty to their factions? Is it both? The drama is yours to choose! 

Anyone with questions, comments, or concerns about the bonanza is welcome to reach out to me at any point over the next six weeks, and please take comfort in knowing that the goal is to make this occasion as fun and achievable a shared show of ship-appreciation as is possible within the inherent busyness of all our lives! Thank you all again for being a part of this artistic endeavor, and I look forward with great anticipation to what you all bring come the end of next month!

This is going to be a whole ass rant actually. I know i tend to be wrong on things, but at this rate keeping it to DMs is not going to change much. This is also going to be me kind of yelling at the mutuals i have made in this fanbase or those that are slightly okay with my existence, sorry if it hurt your feelings, but even you need to be called out on this behavior This is a rant about being at shipping wars with each other, or mildly aggrivated and or pissed off and then being passive aggressive OR pushy as hell towards each other indirectly OR directly. read down bellow if you so wish.

THE GIST OF IT IS SUMMED UP IN THE COMIC! But there is an underlining annoyance i have been having. YOU BOTH KEEP TELLING EACH OTHER TO "just block and leave it be, hur dur" but then just go about either directly posting or vague posting about it either on the same fucking blog or somewhere else. Like fine, you can complain, i am doing it right fucking now, but the issue i am having is the fact YOU BOTH ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME BEHAVIOR TOWARDS EACH OTHER! This goes to my moots as well like Saxandviolins and Cryptids, who yes, i count as mutuals! "But they hurt my feelings about the ship a like! I keep seeing it all the time and i can't just block them all!" mutherfucker, get a spine, you have bigger things to fucking cry about than someone being a bitch on the internet over IMAGINARY ROBOTS BEING GAY. STOP BOTHERING EACH OTHER LIKE THIS! "But they are so annoying about it and pushy about their ship, so i will make fun of them!" BRO i have have been a major fucking troll in the past, doing this too and i will tell you this: IT IS AS PRODUCTIVE AS EATING YOUR OWN BOOGERS! IT WILL NOT STOP THEM FROM BEING ANNOYING AND OR PUSHY!

And it's not just these two cases, just the most recent ones i seen! I was told by many others that this bullshit has been going on with several people before, hell if not hundreds! And it is getting just tiresome seeing you all huffing and puffing at each other like petulant children at a playground. I am also the rare case of liking both and not bothering either side and being compliant with either sides interest like ANY RESPECTFUL SHIPPER FUCKING SHOULD! Yes you can be upset, but don't fucking yell at the person about it either! Keep it to the dms with moots but don't fucking enable each other and remember to tell yourself this:

"these are just characters in a story i took and put in a room to kissy kiss, it is no big deal and i should not get upset when someone doesn't like it!" "Oh they are making the characters kissy kiss, i don't like that! but that is okay as that should not be my biggest issue of the day and there for i should mind my own business"

TL;DR Me to both of the constructiprowl and anti-prowl shippers at the moment, you both get the same response whenever i see or hear about you complaining EQUALLY(and also any other shippers at war with each other tbh):

[lyrebite]

To add to this a little bit;

I am tired of the sexualization of polyamory when it comes to Constructiprowl.

People do tend to treat Constructiprowl like a harem sometimes instead of treating it like a genuine polyamorous relationship. I understand that the Constructicons in IDW have a weird obsession with Prowl but that doesn't erase the fact that the Constructicons have a pretty long history with each other and are still dealing with the fall out of the death of their leader. There will be a relationship among the Constructicons and I'm kinda tired of seeing the same oversexualized harem Constructiprowl because people don't know how to treat a polyamorous relationship.

I think Constructiprowl is important as polyamorous representation considering how they are portrayed in canon, but for the love of Primus, please understand that polyamory ≠ harem when a polyamorous relationship is large and has a bit of a favorite.

Amidst everything that is happening right now in the world, all the chaos and calamity and batshit craziness, at the very least I can say that Artemis II gave me a little bit of joy. Something profoundly human and a remarkable achievement. It makes me want to write poetry.

a tiny heist went down to rescue Rise and now he's being taken everywhere by Reid Wiseman because he's extremely important (he was supposed to be left on the craft, he has instead been adopted)

Never be afraid to take your favorite plushie everywhere. If it's cool enough for an astronaut, it's cool enough for you.
