Fanfiction Master Post

Okay so, I'm going to try and make a Master Post for my Fanfics.

Currently a work in progress, might add a "Read More" later on:

A Girl and Her Bike

AO3 Series | Spacebattles Thread | TV Tropes Page

Probably my post popular fanfiction ever, A Girl and Her Bike is a series of RWBY/Transformers crossover fics wherein Bumblebee the Autobot from Transformers is ALSO Bumblebee the motorcycle from RWBY. He and Yang serve as the main protagonists, with the focus being on their PLATONIC/sibling-like bond. (He's a two million year old war veteran, she's a teenaged lesbian. Get your heads out of the gutter.) It also has, by far, the largest expanded universe of any of my fanfic series. Current fics in the series are:

A Girl and Her Bike: Volume 1: On her 17th birthday, Yang Xiao Long got a motorcycle to celebrate going another year without getting killed by Grimm. However, what was meant to be a simple gift ended up bringing a war to the Rose/Xiao Long's doorstep. Now, between the Grimm, Atlesian Military, White Fang, and Decepticons, Yang and Bumblebee have their work cut out for them. (Complete) AO3 | FFN

A Girl and Her Bike: Spotlight Collection 1: What did Bumblebee, Ruby Rose, Winter Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long do after the Battle of Vytal? How will they adapt to the life-changing circumstances they've been thrust into. Read on to find out. (4/5 Spotlight Oneshots Complete, still working on Yang's) AO3 | FFN

Current spin-offs in the series:

Like Judas Thereupon Kissed: Prequel, set on Cybertron. "The war between the Autobots and Decepticons is one of the longest, bloodiest conflicts in the galaxy's history. So why is it that it started just after the two sides united against a common foe?" (In-Progress) AO3 | FFN

Myths of Cybertron: Anthology of in-universe works of fiction, compiled by certified nerd Glyph of the Cybertronian Historical Preservation Society. (4 myths compiled) AO3 | FFN

A Girl and Her Bike: Super Deformed CHIBI: In a world full of darker and edgier Transformers and RWBY fics, sometimes all you need are blatantly noncanon antics and hijinks to lighten your mood. Basically, a comedy-focused spin-off of "A Girl and Her Bike". (No planned ending) AO3 | FFN

A Girl and Her Bike: Jazz's Report: In-universe reports Jazz writes for Professor Goodwitch and Optimus Prime, providing further context for the setting. AO3 | FFN

Through the Shattered Glass

AO3 Series | Shares Spacebattles Thread with A Girl and Her Bike

Mirror Universe of "A Girl and Her Bike", wherein the heroes are villains and the villains are heroes. Installments are as follows:

Shattered Fragments: If we glance through the shattered glass, what distorted reflections would we see? In a universe opposite the world of A Girl and Her Bike, an alien war collides with an ancient conspiracy, shaking up countless lives throughout the world of Remnant. Their stories shall be collected here. (In Progress) AO3 | FFN

Dust and Decepticons

My other RWBY/Transformers crossover.

This one asks a very simple question: What would happen to Remnant if Atlas formed a secret alliance with the Decepticons prior to the events of the series? Fics in the series are as Follows:

Falling Stars: When aliens fell to Remnant in balls of flame, responsibility fell on General James Ironwood of the Atlesian Military to make first contact with these strange new beings. Who knows, perhaps these Decepticons could be the key to a new golden age? Surely keeping the existence of these strange new beings a secret couldn't possibly backfire! (In-Progress) AO3 | FFN

Epiphets of Megatron: Before he held two seats on Cybertron's High Council, Megatron was just another Cybertronian. However, over the course of his military career, in the defense of Cybertron, he has been called many things. Here is the story of how he earned those titles. (2/7 Chapters) AO3 | FFN

Miscellaneous

This is where I'll put any fics that aren't part of another series.

For Want of a Mouse: Pokémon time travel fic. At the end of the "Arceus Chronicles" special, one of Ash's enemies went back and time to the first episode of the series to steal Pikachu, causing a reality-destroying paradox. Arceus, in turn, sent the minds of Ash, Goh, Cynthia, Brock, Dawn and whatever Pokémon they had on them back in time. Also, Ash is a trans girl. (In Progress) AO3 | FFN | SB

The Life and Times of a Cybertronian Generic: Transformers Self Insert. I have been reincarnated into a Transformers universe... As a disposable footsoldier of the Liege Maximo's Cybertronian Empire... (In progress.) SB

Check back here regularly for eventual updates.

My favorite mermaid art is the one of a family photo with a mermaid mother and old sailor father and their sons are both reverse merfolk (human legs with fish heads).

This is the one!

It's by Jessica Warrick.

it is my experience that people with dermal implants and eyeball tattoos and 34 visible piercings are the sweetest people you'll ever meet and will cry if they see a pigeon with a broken wing. it is also my experience that clean-cut people in polo shirts with perfect smiles will vote against your rights and say the most disgusting things imaginable once they think you're out of earshot.

Whenever people ask me "why don't you know xyz, it's so popular" well see it's because

burgundyflowers

The world doesn't revolve around one country. What is popular over there might not be the same in another country and it's totally normal but pop culture for example is a global thing like most people know Ariana Grande. This is just an example.

lydiardbell

Yeah pop culture is universal and most societies like the same stuff, just like how everyone knows who Zhou Xuan, Dhanush, and Mia Guissé are and we all know and love the classic holiday season movie Al-Risâlah

can we bring back the term "fair-weather friend" bc I feel like if fair-weather friends got called that more this whole argument about whether or not you should be there for your friends when it's inconvenient/at what point of personal inconvenience it's ok to bail on your friends would kinda fall apart bc like. we literally have a word for "friend who's only there when you don't need something from them" because the baseline expectation is that a friend should be there even when it sucks. like we used to make fun of people for bailing on their friends.

I haven't seen people talking about this, but the pilot for The Ebony Witch dropped! the visuals are absolutely beautiful. it has the same magic as old disney (if disney was brave enough to give us a hot elf who is actually 50 cats in a trenchcoat)

the sound design is a little rough, but that's because of the funding they're working with - if you'd like to lend some support, here's the link!

i know folks are gonna call me a pedo for this one, but i grew up seeing my mom and grandma naked. they had health issues and at times needed care and help showering. and i truly think more kids need to be shown the nonsexual reality of naked women at a young age. there is nothing sexual about my grandmothers breasts, they were simply body parts. more women die of heart attacks because people are too afraid of breasts to do real chest compressions, because they are scared to touch their breasts. the sexualization of our bodies literally kills us. i need people to be more normal about naked bodies and i'm 100% serious.

scarsofmybliss

I grew up around naked old people who weren't even my family! Gasp! And it was a good thing. I grew up around old-school hippies at a place called Lothlorien (in Indiana) and one of my friends dads held a sauna day every Sunday in the middle of the woods (like you cannot drive to their house, you park about a quarter mile away and walk into the woods kind of woods). All day random old people came to get naked, high (pot), and sweaty. Just random old peen and boobs swaying with the leaves. No big deal. These are things that I believe made me more at home in my body, made me more excited about aging, made me more willing to fight for my security and safety.

Bodies are just bodies. Nothing sacred and nothing inherently shameful or sinful either. The fact that we still can't get that through everyone in however many years it's been is just fucking idiotic.

Look I don't really care for AI. I'm scared about the increasing over-reliance on tools like chatgpt and Ai assist that repeatedly give flawed or false information, I reject the promise of AI writers and actors that might infect mainstream art. But like...y'all need to change the way you look at this stuff for real. So much popular anti-AI language is so abstracted from any material reality and human truth, making up slurs for Ai bots like that's a normal thing to do, wantonly accusing artists of using Ai like a witch hunt, and talking about the human element of art supplanted by AI in very Christian terms, calling it "sacred" or coming from the soul. You don't have to like AI, but I really encourage you to examine how you feel about it and what it's been making you say. Cause it's apparently making you say ethnic slurs

lakemojave

Should've known this post would've conjured people defending their right to repurpose real life racist pejoratives to talk about chatbots or whatever. Like is that not crazy to anybody else? That so many white liberals are frothing at the mouth to find a socially acceptable reason to put racial slurs on a t shirt at Spencer's?? I'm not even making this up somebody in the tags saw that shit in person what the fuck are we doing anymore

Based on what we’ve been shown, I agree that the Huntsman academies begin their semesters in spring, run over the summer and likely finish with the Vytal Tournament, before sending everyone home for winter. While that may seem strange to Americans and modern Europeans, it’s actually a very old system based on reducing dangerous winter travel and conserving energy all around.

We know that Weiss, Blake and Yang were all 17 at the beginning of the school year; that Yang considered herself an adult after winter passed while she was recuperating; and that Weiss was still young enough to be disinherited while in Atlas. Which means:

Yang turned 17 while she was at Signal and turned 18 during her first year at Beacon. Blake turned 17 shortly before she left the White Fang splinter group. Weiss must have just turned 17 in time to enroll. Ruby was 15, of course, and turned 16 shortly after the semester would have ended normally, and left home with JNR. Blake turns 18 while in Kuo Kuana during winter (summer in the south). Weiss escapes Atlas and likely had her birthday in Mistral, along with Yang who hits 19.

So you’re suggesting a June start date?

alexkablob

RWBY did originally start airing in June…

For ease of use I already tend to put the in-universe date at the start coinciding with the year that the show started in (so June 2013, and we’re now in October or November of 2014). So that makes Team RWBY’s birthdates:

Yang: July 28, 1995 (currently 19)

Blake: January 19, 1996 (currently 18)

Weiss: May 15, 1996 (currently 18)

Ruby: October 31, 1997 (currently 16 or 17)

luimnigh

I mean, just looking at it…

There’s twenty-three weeks between the start of June through to the end of October.

Now, I don’t know how it works in America, but a standard college semester over here is thirteen weeks.

I don’t think paring that down to ten weeks, with a two/three week break between semesters in August, would be all that difficult for such a specialized sort of school.

Folk, I’m gonna vaguepost for a sec here, but it’s an important one.

If you are in the United States and not employed by a zoo or sanctuary or a veterinarian working with a facility, if anyone for any reason offers to allow you to touch a big cat, please do not do it.

No matter how much you want to, no matter how much it is a dream, understand that it is a violation of federal law that could get the facility the cat lives at in very serious trouble. It does not matter if it is through the fence, or in the context of a trained behavior, or if the cat is on a leash. Even if it feels “safe” or they swear the facility condones it.

It’s starting to appear that lots of zookeepers have not been informed appropriately about the scope of the law - or in cases where they do know it’s inappropriate, they are sometimes being overridden by their management and forced to allow encounters. (Even at accredited facilities!)

We do not know exactly what the penalties could be for that happening within an accredited zoo (yay badly implemented laws) but it typically comes down to being risk to a) the cat’s welfare b) the facility’s ability to have any big cats at all and c) someone, either the facility owner or the person offering, could go to jail or pay serious fines. There are two instances of this happening at AZA zoos that were leaked recently and we may now find out how bad it’s going to get for them.

Lots of facilities will have big cat pelts as educational biofacts that they will allow you to touch. You do not ever need to take the risk associated with touching a live big cat - generally anywhere, and especially in the US.

And for some reason, if you ever are in that situation and unethical enough to actually touch the cat? Don’t post it on social media and definitely don’t make that post public. 🙄
