It must've been rough trying to watch TV in the 90's if you had epilepsy. I come across a lot of commercials from that era that have flashing imagery in them.

While trying to figure out how the ghost transformation works, for half-ghosts...

Hey, probably the "sparkle" from where the luminous circles come is where the core of a ghost is situated! Halfa's powers come from there!

*checking the first transformation scene from Vlad*

The core is stored in... the core is... ??? Okay, nice. Good to know.

Okay, but I dont see people talking about how great this burn is from Vox

I don't know if this might have fallen through the generational gap? Or maybe the referance is too British maybe? But I've seen people just not get it, or not react at all to it.

There's an old joke about celebrities and preformers: "If you haven't got any talent, wear a big hat."

Basically if your not talented enough to be interesting, then dress extravagantly and be very flamboyant, to distract people into hopefully not noticing that you're all bravado with no skill to back it up.

Basically, Vox just straight up calling Lucifer a fraud, and saying he should have realised just by looking at him.

But you know what's even funnier? This is also a burn to Valantino, who also wears a big hat, but isn't shown to be that powerful unless he literally owns your soul. So this is possibly what Vox actually thinks about Vals skills.

And Vox? What does Vox wear? In the words of Val: "LiTtLe HaT". He doesn't want people to think that way about him, so he dresses smart, but not gimmicky or flamboyantly.

Also something I’ve been thinking about, but Transformer lifespans in Animated is pretty fascinating when you look at the old characters

Because like, yes they live for millions of years, but they don’t seem to have a set end point in their life span, it depends more on how much care they get

Like take a look at Ratchet, he’s probably around 9-10 million years old, at least that’s what I assume, and he’s very clearly an old man, and was much young 4 million years ago during the war and has visibly aged in that time

But then you have characters like Ultra Magnus and Megatron, who look basically identical at both points in time (outside of certain body changes for alt mode reasons), and are likely much older than Ratchet (Megatron we know is 70 million)

It’s also this way with characters like the other older members of Autobot High Command or the Decepticons as well, still (presumably) looking relatively similar to how they did in the war, unlike Ratchet

The most likely reason for this difference seems to be the level of care the bots get. Ultra Magnus and Megatron are the leaders of their factions, they’d get plenty of care to make sure their systems are operational and up to date, particularly Megatron since he’s actively fighting. Meanwhile, Ratchet seems to have largely been forgotten and abandoned by the Autobots after the war, despite his importance with Project Omega (even if granted that was by accident), and so likely he hasn’t gotten nearly as much care for his systems as those important members of the factions

It’s kind of like our machines, actually. Take good care of your electronics, maybe try to get it repaired if something goes wrong, and it’ll last much longer. But neglect and take poor care of your electronics, and they’ll break much faster

I don’t know, I just find it interesting

Observation I made from that one part in the Magia Record anime

Is that not the same girl that was on the train in Episode 12 of the original anime? They both even have the same little hair curls. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

My name is one of those that has very gendered versions, right?

I sign up for a free magazine subscriptions with an alt email, have for literal YEARS. There's always been a bit of spam mail generated from this, that's why its on an alt. About a year ago, I filled out a form for one, and didn't notice that the name autocorrected to the male version of my name.

This has for SOME reason unlocked a previously unknown level of spam and bullshit emails, all addressed to ~male version of name~. I got maybe 10 or so messages a day before, now there's at least 15-20 emails going 'download our free book on how crypto can improve your life!!1!!!' and 'MALE NAME, top 20 plumbing fixes you can do yourself!' dropping into my inbox every day.

No real point to this post, just kinda smells. That rotten whiff of weird internet bullshit and late stage capitalism.

I've seen multiple posts where people have observed that parts of the background during Jax's sorta possible abstraction scene look kind of like Caine - if this experience with abstraction is universal amongst those who have abstracted, could this possibly be why Koufmo had Caine drawn on his wall?

Also, what if abstraction isn't just a "you fall asleep, have this weird floaty dream and then your gone", what if it's a build up. What if you experience that dream type of thing over and over again, the experience slowly becoming more uncomfortable and irritating, the corruption of abstraction digging under the person's skin until their body finally gives up and gives in to the feeling, letting go of what little they had left of their sense of self.
