You know what would be hilarious??? If, instead of having tore apart their world until it was a husk- Megatron and Optimus Prime were just told to get the fuck out.

Oh you two wanna fight endlessly over whether it was right to kill Robo-Trump, and who gets to rule? Maybe the average Cybertronian doesn't actually want another self-appointed ruler. Maybe they would rather string up Sentinel's grayed out corpse, dance underneath, and then figure out how to rebuild together.

Megatron is starving and thus rapidly abandoning his ideals while running on empty, while Optimus is trying to apply ancient wisdom to modern times and feeling this pull to Be In Charge.

It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Just to have somewhat of a middling cast of characters this would take place a bit into Optimus' "rule". Citizens and exiles alike get tired of the escalation between the developing factions, hammer out a treaty and realize the problems are the two bots who can't be near each other without getting into an all-out brawl.

Cue OP and Megs getting jettisoned into space, only to crash into Earth via Unicron and his gravitational pull or whatever. Stasis lock happens, and a group is sent to track them down and make sure they're not dead.

Now it's up to Jazz, Ratchet, Bee, Starscream, and Soundwave to convince two very angry and belligerent exes [friends and/or lovers], who think the war is still ongoing, to help the group survive long enough to get off-planet.

A common response I've seen, both to the rise in creeps trying to normalize rape, incest, and other forms of assault- or even just talking about who's viewing it online- is this:

"I was smart enough to avoid what made me uncomfortable as a child. I knew to click away, and to tell a trusted adult. Use the proper tags, put up some form of age-verification, and you're fine!"

It's never been about the tags, or lack thereof. Tagging doesn't change the fact that people are posting this shit, often from behind something as flimsy as an "Are You 18+?" popup screen. They use buzzwords to cloak the true meaning of what they create.

People post rape fantasies online and call it kink. People draw and write and render in 3d- work sexualizing children, animals, family- and call it queer, and normal, and good.

It's never been about discomfort either, because *with enough exposure you will be okay with it.* Speaking from personal experience- it took very little time to accept and even seek out depictions of these things as a child. While thankfully nothing happened to me, it took the entirety of my twenties to unlearn.

For fucks sake, this needed to stop years ago. It's 2026! Give a damn about other people and do better! Keep each other safe, and kick predators out of your communities.

sure would be cool if the transformers fandom weren't bootlickers.

"Uwuwuwu you need to be niceys when doing a revolution!"

I wasn't aware that asking politely was how chattel slavery was ended. Or how we got women's rights, or disability rights, or an end to segregation in America or labor laws of any kind.

Genuinely- do you talk to people who aren't you? Do you know anyone who isn't middle class and up? Have you looked out the fucking window once in the past five or ten or twenty years??

Are you upset that you are thrown into the gladiator pits day after day, made to mine endlessly for energon, trapped by a society that says your form dictates your function which determines your fate? Change it- no, no, not like that! Don't kill dictators, don't take down monuments to fascism, don't get mad that your people die starving in the dark! We meant, ask politely!

People will straight up write a Decepticon revolution- and then spin it so that despite all these correct arguments for change to such wild class stratification, for an immediate end to Functionism, to Quintesson slavery, etc- it is better to have endless petitions and debates in the face of a clearly corrupt Senate. We just need to have our Divinely Appointed Ruler and all will be well!

Clearly the divine doesn't mean shit if it's choice is a bot that won't do whatever it takes to free their people.

Also this thing writers do, portraying the bots of Kaon as inherently brutish rather than beat down by wider society. Community coming together to help one another? What kind of asinine crap is that, surely The Poors are just born savage, with no desire but to steal and kill and assault!

Ego Renegade Boy by Flavor Foley is such a fuckin' bop and it's about transmasc euphoria, what's not to love???

Today i spun up a small bundle of what I'm calling "kitchen sink" fiber, got secondhand from an art sale. It had a bit of everything- alpaca, silk, at least two types of wool, cotton, bits of something shiny and acrylic, plus some form of wiry locks. Every few centimeters was a completely different fiber.

Also, everything was a different color! Blues and greens and reds and browns and yellows and whites, with bits of purple and black here and there.

It was a riot of colors and textures and I loved the challenge of getting it all to play nice.

Yet Another Blender Project

So I have a third wip animal in Blender, this time my take on a semi realistic My Little Pony type horse. I didn't want to build it from the ground up, so I took parts of my Dragon and Harse projects and kludged them together until everything fit nicely.

Little Pony is meant to be what I wished the online community turned the OpenPony into; a cartoony pony that still looks like an animal.

[image id start: a 3d stylized pony, made up of light grey squares that wrap around the whole model. It stands against a dark grey background. The body is all slightly exaggerated and simplified proportions. The head has large, forward facing eyes that taper to a small muzzle. The ears face out to the sides and the legs are thick, with no clear indication of where they end and the hoof begins. There is no mane or tail.

On the top left are a series of statistics denoting the camera angle, folder, last selected item and total data of the items within. It reads as follows-

You can read stuff that isn't Harry Potter. You can find other books. You can make your own stories and characters.

As someone who used to love the books, and the movies, and the fandom- overlooking the slavery and bigotry and child abuse and Nazi apologism [being presented as normal!] isn't fucking worth it. A lot of what was loved was fanon, was implication upon inference presented as fact.

Besides the whole *gestures at everything in the books*, Rowling is using the money and fame she gets from the IP to fund anti trans laws, and has gone on record stating that anyone who supports her work- supports her as well.

Expand your horizons! Go to a library, go to a secondhand bookstore, hell there's free books and movies on the Internet Archive if you can't get out of the house. People, right now, are writing wholly original and derivative work.

I shouldn't need to go through the blogs of people popping up in my notifications, but this is where we're at.

Far too many of you are okay dismissing Palestinian and Sudanese fundraisers as scams.

Far too many of you are content defending predators and csem online, under the guise of "proshipping".

Far too many of you hate trans men.

Far too many of you weep for the soldiers we sent over to invade the rest of the world.

Far too many of you hate anyone who isn't white.

You are not welcome here, fuck off.
