No-Talent Punk With Axe To Grind

Sophisticated_Adult at AO3. Robots are cool and good. Hot Rod is the best one, also X and Zero are in love and there's nothing capcom can do about it.

thought the words 'medic Prowl', had fun imagining him having an awful bedside manner but being Very Determined to get a good grade in fixing people, and came to the conclusion that he'd eventually end up like that 'so I've been killing people' post when he starts following the threads of what's actually causing issues at the root of things.

cybertronian senate: haha what if we left people to die in the streets and took all the money for ourselves ^_^

prowl: *cocks gun*

[of-nyon]

Prowl on his way back from quietly assassinating several key figures running into Megatron and Starscream on their way to burn down the senate: hey guys I already did the important ones but you can cause a spectacle and take credit if you want.

Starscream: who the fuck are you

Prowl: I'm a doctor.

okay maybe im not far enough in mtmte yet but im kinda surprised that more ppl dont lean into the religous tension in drift/rodimus. like drift seeing rodimus as his salvation. devoting himself to his prime holy and completely as an act of attonement for his sins as deadlock

unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

[melanqueerly]

Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.

[phinarei]

Not being a dick, just a friendly clarification.

By definition you can't accidentally queerbait. Queerbaiting is specifically using a same sex pair from the show to market the show to queer audiences with no intention of ever following through on a romantic relationship.

There is officially licensed Destiel merch signed off on by Kripke. Teen Wolf had a commercial with the actors for Derek and Stiles draped over each other talking about being "on a ship." Both shows actively used scenes between them as marketing while actively mocking fans for wanting them together. Sherlock has multiple characters refer to Johnlock as a couple, including characters we're supposed to believe are never wrong about human behavior and pushed those scenes in marketing. Then they acted insulted when fans saw them as a couple.

That's queerbaiting.

Done on accident it would just be queer subtext. Done because they had no other choice due to censorship is queer coding.

The specific meaning of the word is really starting to get lost and it's a pretty important one to keep accurate. It describes a very specific phenomenon that was done repeatedly and maliciously for decades and is meant to examine that specifically.

Doing it on accident sucks, but it isn't a tactic of capitalism intentionally intended to suppress queer representation while making money from queer fans.

Reblogging to keep the accurate definition and examples of queerbaiting circulating in the world

reasons your first lieutenant might be hovering / inconspicuously seeking proximity:

someone did something they shouldn't have

someone did someone they shouldn't have

separation anxiety

needs attention

you said "stay close" 16 hours ago, you just forgot

[vastwinterskies]

If none of these can suffiently explain why your first lieutenant appears particularly glued to you, seek the nearest mirror and check:

have I slept in the last 24 hours?

have I eaten in the last 8 hours?

have I fought a battle in the last 8 hours and do I still look like it? In fact, are all my limbs where they ought to be?

If the answer to any of these is "no", address these issues first. Your first lieutenant's behavior may change almost immediately!

I think we should ship IDW Rodimus x G1 Soundwave because, again, the contrasting designs, but this time it's funny. Curviest pointiest guy ever x a rectangle who is a dad with 5 kids

[of-nyon]

if Rumble and Frenzy are absolutely insisting that Soundwave said it's OK for them to do something then it means he absolutely did not so Rodimus just weighs up on if it's both harmless + funny enough to meet the 'yeah sure dudes' threshold

[candiie-teeth]

reading mtmte i have a massive crush on rodimus yo

[wordfather]

coming back to life just to have the freakiest sex possible with the guy that killed me

[reader-from-nowhere]

if thunderclash is immune it would be really funny like imagine him not even realizing that there's a virus he just thinks people finally locked in and are matching his vibe on loving rodimus

askjjsa, that would track with Matrix holders, but I think he’d catch on quick and would figure out whats going on (much to rodimus’ dismay)

the problem with tumblr spells is all of you lil sluts are casting and not giving it time to charge so you're all casting cantrips and not 9th level death spells. everyone wants to be the one to take them down no one wants to be the one who assists

[were--ralph]

we're going to try again witha little but minimal casting

IT will happen in August of 2026. like to charge and reblog to cast but cast sparingly

[were--ralph]

Wait stop. everyone +like now and spread it a little but cast on the same day in August. lets try August 6th or something.

[were--ralph]

CAST NOW

[commodorecliche]

y'all ever have that ONE WORD you just consistently cannot spell without assistance? like no matter how old you are, no matter how many grade school vocab quizzes you got tucked under your belt, there's always that one word will haunt you until the day you die.

[commodorecliche]

mine is beaurocracy and autocorrect had to swoop in like goddamn Spiderman to save me from it. reblog and put your Problem Word in the tags.

[hammer-lord]

I just saw the Charcadet PokeToon & it reminded me of X & Zero. Same vibes. It's them as Pokemon. 😆
