I still function 👍

Hello everyone. I have again pulled too many Soundwaves, and I continue to pay for it.

This will happen again.

A few updates are in order. Fandom first for those who are here just for that, and then a more personal update for those who are curious.

<<< FANDOM >>>

Almost all of my recent fandom focus has been on personal projects and collabs with friends/mutuals, and that’s how things will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

A few of the projects I’m either currently working on, or will begin working on soon:

Constellations of Cybertron AU — I won’t be sharing much about this for a long time, but every single day I’m building onto it.

PROJECT: FORESHADOW — A crossover in which Shockwave’s cosmic meddling is to blame (as usual), and Soundwave takes it upon himself to pick up some of the pieces

OPERATION: JRO-1 — A massive undertaking that will likely span several years and may be my most insane fandom idea yet. Details will be limited, but if the stars align, I’ll start sharing updates here.

OPERATION: JRO-2 — Another multi-year project related to the other JRO who’s written for Transformers.

Everything else like analysis posts, shitposts, a community event I thought of last year, etc. is on hold as I’ve shifted my focus away from the broader fandom and toward other enterprises.

<<< PERSONAL >>>

The last several months have been enlightening. I learned more about myself, became a little more important at work, flew across the country on a paycheck and a prayer to meet a couple mutuals in person for the first time, lurked in a new fandom, and more.

Meanwhile, my longterm plans have changed. Med school is on hold for several reasons.

My health is hanging on by a hair, I’m stuck in an unfortunate home situation, university and a viable career are far off dreams, and I have little time to myself each day to work on hobbies or even think as much as I need to.

But this is not a cry for help or sympathy. It’s a testament to the fact that I haven’t lost my grip on my sword:

I finished the Big Bang with minutes to spare. I eat three meals a day and drink lots of water. I continue to get up in the morning despite my desire to murder time itself so I can be free. I still have my eyes on the Stars.

The war goes on, but so do I.

Here in the year of our Cat 2023, this scene is still one of the best things to come out of cartoon cinema. I will never be over someone calling Soundwave an uncharismatic boor.

Still alive!

I haven’t posted anything recently, other than reblogs, because this has been a rough couple of months. In particular the last month has been outta hell for me. To cut a long story short, I wrecked my back for a bit doing something work-related, and was laid up for a week on my side while I waited for my nerves to stop screaming at me. Didn’t exactly get any story-writing done in that time. Add to that work has been really busy, so I’m exhausted when I get home....kinda puts a damper on my creativity. I’m still thinking stuff, but I have no concrete ideas for stories. Got some ideas for HoT-based stuff, but it’s just individual scenes right now. Still rewriting Novni Ffion’s entrance into my little story-verse, even though anyone that read my halloween posts probably has encountered her there. I’m also trying to think of a nice, fluffy fic to write about Miriya and Kaleb again, but at the moment, other than ‘fluffy fic’, my ideas have run basically dry. LoL. I know I want to, but I got no inspiration at the moment. So this is me saying I’m still alive! Read my stuff! Reblog! Like! Whatever! Gratuitous and shameless self-plug here! LoL.

“Favorite Transformers quote”

....can I pick “Till all are one” or is that too predictable?

But actually...I’d have to pick one that’s almost equally stereotypical. *spoilers for Transformers: Cybertron*

“I still function. You haven’t won. Not while my...spark...still burns...”

Ooh, but then there’s also...

“For everything that ever was.”

Or...

“And I....have my honor!”

Or basically anything else Dinobot ever says.

Updates Forthcoming!

The good news: I have found my sketchbook with the updates in it! The bad news: I am moving into the university dorms in the next couple of days! What this means: I have one finished update, two updates awaiting color, and one more sketched out. They will be queued up in the next couple of weeks, but I don't know when. But they exist! And this blog isn't quite dead yet!
