[tfpworkshop]

I just found out I got early acceptance of my preferred University!!

[tfpworkshop]

Today I blocked someone as part of a pact with one of my IRL friends who was being Cyberstalked

This also has a bit to do with why I haven’t been posting as of late.

I know that this isn’t really a new topic, but this is just something that I wanted to get off my chest. Also, if the person I blocked somehow manages to read this, I want them to know that this isn’t a personal attack on them, but rather something that I have been thinking about a lot recently after a conversation with this friend.

Personal Space.

It's something that almost everyone knows about. There is the physical personal space bubble where strangers shouldn’t be touching you, and then there is the less physical one where people just need some time alone.

My friend and I each went through a similar situation where we had each gotten into contact with someone as part of an RP that ended up on discord. While the person we were talking to didn’t do anything, in particular, that was creepy or wrong, it was not deniable that that second type of personal space was violated.

I started to become aware of this during a conversation with my friend around a few months ago before my trial exams where she was uncertain of what to do about her new online friend she had made, that was being particularly clingy, and she had come to me, her older friend for advice.

Our situations were almost identical, we both really liked the person we were talking to, they were nice, polite, and emotionally supportive, but there was an issue where they just wanted to spend a LOT of time with us. Almost every time we didn’t reply after 5 minutes we got a “Are you okay? Did something happen message?”

We each tried in our own way (as shy kids it meant a polite and gentle approach) to tell them that we just couldn’t reply all the time. It didn’t really solve the problem.

In my case, the person I was messaging just kept requesting that I respond the next time I had free time. Normally this wouldn’t be so bad. If not for the fact that they were subscribed to my Tumblr and its side blogs. Every time I came online, I felt uncomfortable liking and reblogging stuff unless I had posted something to the chat, but sometimes - the times between study or after long days - I just didn’t feel up to conversation.

So I took to hiding my likes on my page and commenting instead of reblogging. I would have been okay with that if not for two things that happened.

In the period of my finals, I was particularly tied for time - I’m going, to be honest, that I wasn’t taking proper care of myself, studying for 3-4 hours at a time without breaks, usually only stopping for lunch or my daily 40min walk. I have anxiety, so I was stressed as all hell. My new internet friend kept on messaging me, and asking me if I had time, and I kept having to say no, but I just got increasingly guilty every time. And so I broke, and they kept insisting that I spend more time - to relieve stress. I didn’t have the heart or courage to admit that socialising for me isn’t really a destresser. I just wanted to be able to go online, stare at some mind-numbing memes and funny stuff about my favourite shows for 20 minutes and get back to work, but every time I worried that my internet friend would find out and I would have to explain and apologise for not spending time with them when they obviously wanted to and had messaged me multiple times that day without response.

The second and final straw was another conversation I had with that friend I mentioned earlier. Their internet friend hadn’t backed off, only ignored their requests and put my friend under a lot of stress. They’re a lot younger than me and just simply couldn’t work up the courage to say anything bolder than a polite request to give them or an excuse for being away like some made up band camp the school was having. 

So I suggested blocking the person, but they weren’t comfortable with it. They pointed out how I was feeling uncomfortable and I hadn’t done anything. We both insisted that the other’s situation was worse. So we agreed to both block our internet friend.

So please, I know it can be worrying for someone you know online not to reply to your messages, but it can be really uncomfortable if someone sends you tonnes of messages asking why you haven’t replied. So please, just give people some personal space, I’m begging you.

Sorry for the long rant, I came back from Japan 2 days ago and my meeting conversation with my youngest IRL friends ended up with them crying, and I was just, so, distressed.

May I have human friend having a Dungeons and Dragons session with the cons?

Dnd normally can be complete and utter chaos - trust me, I’m a DM, the things that I have seen - and you just had to add giant alien robots with combat abilities, didn’t you?

The game as always starts out vaguely normal and on track until Starscream makes an attempt to shank Megatron’s character to take control of the party, but is immediately double teamed by Soundwave and Megatron. A fight breaks out and Dreadwing tries to smooth things out and points out the party does have a quest, but it is far too late. When the fight inevitably breaks out into the real would you use your DM powers to kill off their three characters as a punishment. Bad move. Knock Out, the party necromancer decides to bring them back under his whim and Megatron shoots the specially created dice in fury. Breakdown grabs you and flees the room. The two of you are oh so glad that Predaking had been banned from game night after last weeks stunt.

[tfpworkshop]

Can I requesr a scenario where Soundwave is jealous of how well his s/o getting along with Shockwave or Megatron and trying not to act as jealous as he feels?

Deepdrive: Oooh boy~

Soundwave

It’s less likely to happen with Megatron, as, believe it or not, Soundwave trusts Megatron a LOT. But Shockwave… It happens. He trusts you, but Shockwave? Nope. So he watches you two whenever you get together, through his surveillance systems. He’ll know if Shockwave tries anything. And he’ll be there. Shockwave would have to be malfunctioning though; after all, trying something with Soundwave’s S/O, such a thing is completely… illogical. 

[tfpworkshop]

Any HC’s about knockout, breakdown, and smokescreen with a chubby s/o

Knock Out

Look, he doesn’t care about fleshy’s appearances, cybertonians; maybe~Here’s the deal; he doesn't care what your physical specs are and he's not going to treat you differently in any way what so ever. If for whatever reason you’re feeling insecure he’s just going to revert back to flirting to cheer you up. If you want to talk about it, you might have to spell it out a bit. Then he’s just going to explain what I have already told you.

Breakdown

He can relate to any insecurities you might have. While not exactly the same, bigger mechs tend to be prejudiced against. He will help you laugh it off at what a pair you are - you’re just made for each other, aren’t you? 

Smokescreen

Clueless puppy bot does not understand that you might be different. Clueless bot thinks you’re perfect. Clueless bot makes sure that you know this. 

[tfpworkshop]

I should be satisfied for now since I am out of request ideas for this day, but can I please have the Decepticons watching a horror movie with their usually tough and confident human s/o who claims that horror films doesn’t scare her until the movie starts and she’s snuggling/holding them fearfully while squeaking in fear at scary parts (it’s adorable to them) and she doesn’t admit she’s scared until she asks them to accompany her to the bathroom so nothing gets her in a flustered tone.

Megatron

He is pretty exasperated about this and if you weren’t so adorable he would be totally be calling you out on it. He lacks a proper understanding on the whole purpose of horror movies so he doesn’t really understand why you wanted to watch the horror movie in the first place, although he has to admit that your attempts to hide your fear from the warlord while futile is a show of strength in its own way. None the less, Primus help him if he doesn’t escort you to the bathroom, he’ll claim its to prevent any incidents that might ruin your - and therefore his - reputation, but it has more to do with it stroking his ego. 

Starscream

Look… here is the thing….. He is so much worse…. Like…. How can I explain….. His shrieks are 10x louder, and the only reason he is coming with you is that he doesn’t want to be alone. That make sense?

Soundwave

Is completely unbothered. He knows you, way better than you think. And yes, this is completely adorable, but besides that, he is 100% neutral. He escorts you without a word and that’s that.

Knock Out

Oh, don’t you know? This was all part of his evil scheme. He revels as you cling on to him and is glad that you’re enjoying the movie as much as he is, though he makes sure to playfully tease you throughout. Can you blame him? You’re so adorable!! When you ask him to escort you his amusement is obvious in his smirk but he escorts you without a word. Oh, he is definitely suggesting a horror movie again.

Breakdown

If he could blush, he would totally blush every time you cling on to him. This was the best and worst idea ever because he didn’t even really focus on the movie, completely entranced by your reactions throughout. When you ask him to escort you he gets a little cocky. Also; Warning! He is totally going to try to scare you.

Dreadwing

As far as you are concerned, he doesn’t notice your scared until you ask him to escort you to the bathroom. In reality, he noticed, and he finds it completely adorable and he loves it so much and oh Primus he loves you. He’s really polite about all of this and tries his best to make sure you don’t get embarrassed. 

Predaking

He is completely and utterly amused. By all of it. Your squeaks in fears, clutching him, trying to hide that your afraid until you have to, all of it is completely hilarious. But he will keep that to himself as he escorts you. You can feel safe with him, especially considering how protective he is.

Let the Storywriting Begin!

[tfpworkshop]

HERE!! SHOUTOUT TO THIS LOVELY!

[the-amateur-detective]

[tinsin]

thecadre15:

Naruto ships possible = (858 * 857) =

735,306

Homestuck ships possible (don’t forget, four romances, one tri-relational) = (840 * 839 * 3) + (840 * 839 * 838) =

592,703,160

What math were YOU doing?

[amiinu-deactivated20180102]

Alex you wonderfully saucy bastard you.

[mylittlemattie]

Wait, you are actually forgetting that in Homestuck it is possible for a person to be shipped with themselves (Karkat for example is in a kismesis relationship with his past/future selves). This brings the real total of number of ships closer to (840^2 * 3) + (840^3) = 

594,820,800

This is of course assuming that each character is only capable of having 4 types of ships.  If we factor in charms (which is the Leprechaun romance system) there are 9 types of relationships. However, it is clearly stated that Leprechauns can be in more than 1 charm with another Leprechaun. That means that the total number of combinations of relationships that a Leprechaun can have is :

 = 

511

There are 14 known Leprechauns in Homestuck meaning that the total number of possible “Leprechaun Only” relationships in Homestuck is (14*14*511) = 

100,156

So we add that number to the previous total for 594,820,800 + 100,156 = 

594,920,956

However, this is assuming that only Leprechauns can be in these types of relationships. If we assume that all characters can additionally be in these types of relationships (which I understand is a big assumption, but the fandom will probably ship everything possible anyway) then we need to add a few more numbers.

(840 * 840 * 511) =

360,561,600

I am going to add this to the first total I came up with so as not to include the Leprechauns twice. So the grand total number of ships possible in Homestuck assuming that every character can be in both Troll and Leprechaun relationships (but not both at the same time) is:

594,820,800 + 360,561,600 = 

955,382,400

So yeah…

[endgatia]

hey every nepeta ever

start on that wall

[decepticonfetti]

I believe I’ve addressed this before, however, I’ve decided to revisit my old calculations for funsies.

So remember how way back when I said G1 has 538 Autobots and 452 Decepticons? Remember that? And how I got that nifty calculation that said, hey the Transformers Fandom has nearly 3 billion ships in the G1 Continuity on its own? 

Well, I went back onto the TF Wiki and decided to calculate the total number of characters from every continuity that could be considered Cybertonian in origin.

TOTAL NUMBER OF AUTOBOTS = 3071

TOTAL NUMBER OF DECEPTICONS = 2469

TOTAL NUMBER OF MAXIMALS = 264

TOTAL NUMBER OF PREDACONS = 310

TOTAL NUMBER OF NEUTRALS = 40

TOTAL NUMBER OF MINICONS = 610

That is a grand spanking total of 6764 Cybertronian characters. If we were simply to address one specific method of pairing characters, say Full Spark Bonding between two individuals, this would lead to exactly 91,503,392 possible ships.

However, there are five widely observed types of relationships between Cybertronians. These are Full Spark Bond (2 Individuals), Partial Spark Bond (2 Individuals), Trine Bond (3 Individuals), Full Multiple Spark Bond (3 to 5 Individuals), Partial Multiple Spark Bond (3 to 5 Individuals).

Ahem.

Following my revised calculations, the total number of possible ships with JUST Cybertronian Characters is anywhere between 2,785,363,252,480 and 929,033,938,976.

Between 2 Trillion and 900 Trillion. 

In conclusion…

ROBOTS!!

[lieutenantlieutenant]

[starving-shartist]

Every once in a while the Transformers fandom will rear its head and you see a glimpse of infinity.

[shinygreninja]

did they just dethrone us

[shinygreninja]

You know what, you didn’t just dethrone us.

Let’s, for the sake of fairness, keep the calculation of Homestuck’s total ships at 594,820,800 (disregarding leprechauns, including selfcest.)

And instead add this:

No, it’s not canon. No, this probably wouldn’t apply to any form of Alternia that “exists” or ever will “exist”. But for now, forget that.

We’ve already calculated data for the main four ships, so for now those are going to be skipped. Going down this list in order disregarding the main ships, we have (840^3) + (840^2) + (840^4) + (840^3) + (840^2) + (840^2) + (840^2) + (840^2).

Simplified? 499,060,296,000 ships. Adding the original ship count gives us 499,655,116,800 - which, for those of you whom don’t want to look at such a big number, is a burning half trillion potential ships.

Not enough to scratch your total. Let’s just try not to succumb to futility, here: predictably, I’m going to go deeper.

Time for lots of math.

(840^5)+(840^5)+(840^7)+(840^4)+(840^4)+(840^4)+(840^3)+(840^3)+(840^7)+(840^5)+(840^4)+(840^3)+(840^5)+(840^4)+((9*10)+(5^2))+(840^4)+(840^4)+840+(7*840)+(840^2)+840+(840^2)+(840^2)+(840^2)+(840^2)+(840^8)+(840^4)+(840^4)+(840^2)+(840^3)+(840^2)+(840^2)+(840^2)+(840^2)+(840^2)+(840^4)+(840^2)+(840^5)+(840^2)+(840^3)+(840^2)+(840^2)+(840^3)+(840^2)+(840^2)+(840^2)+(840^3)+(840^2)+(840^2)+(840^2)+(840^2)+(840^2)+(840^2)+840+(840^2)+(840^2)+840+(840^2)+840+(840^2)+840+(840^2)+(840^2)

Flagism (i.e. inside-your-caste only) required me getting a list of every canon troll. Yes, Meirfa and Nektan as well as their potential ancestors/decendants (one or the other) are counted. In cases in which it asks for a “group”, or uses “many”, I used 4 and 8 respectively, in reference to the kids. This is because things like Laytherithm, which could repeat infinitely, would probably essentially be cheating this list.

My final result is 2.484660738974071e+23, which I had to manually calculate to be a whopping total of (supposedly) 248,466,073,897,407,100,000,000. 248 sextillion possible ships. We don’t even need the leprechaun ships, because we’ve already won. *mic drop*

[decepticonfetti]

*cracks knuckles*

There are now at least 6766 documented individual named Cybertronian Characters (I’m way too lazy to go back to the TF Wiki a third time to verify it, but there’s probably more. They pop up like daisies). As of my writings at this time we have Full Spark Bonds (2 Individuals), Partial Spark Bonds (2 Individuals), Trine Bonds (3 Individuals), Full Multiple Spark Bonds (3 to 5 Individuals), Partial Multiple Spark Bonds (3 to 5 Individuals, and the Official Conjunx Endura (which appears to be your basic marriage synonym, assumed 2 individuals).

So Full and Partial Spark Bonds plus Conjunx Endura = 3(6766^2)

Add In Trine Bonds  = (6766^3)

And all variations of the the Multiples. I only did one variation of each before because honestly, five seemed a bit unfair.  = 2(6766^3) + 2(6766^4) + 2(6766^5)

3(6766^2) + (6766^3) + 2(6766^3) + 2(6766^4) + 2(6766^5) = 

137,336,268 + 309,739,063,096 + 619,478,126,192 + 4,191,389,001,815,072 + 28,358,937,986,280,780,000 = 28,363,130,304,637,120,628

Over 28 Quintillion in Cybertronian Only Relationships. If I really wanted to be unfair, then I would throw in Gestalt Bonds, which can range from 2 to 6 individuals. Occasionally there are more than six, but that’s such a statistical rarity that I’m excluding.

But hey, since I’m here = (6766^2)+(6766^3)+(6766^4)+(6766^5)+(6766^6)

That is…

45,778,756 + 309,739,063,096 + 2,095,694,500,907,536 + 14,179,468,993,140,390,000 + 9,593,828,720,758,787,000,000 = 9,608,010,285,756,213,139,388

…or 9.6 Sextillion in Gestalt Bonds alone.

This brings the total to 9,636,373,416,060,850,260,016 and does not include Symbionts (who can have symbiotic bonds with eighteen or possibly more cassettes), Splitsparks (one spark split into two individuals), Triple Changers (one spark, multiple forms and multiple personalities, or Multi-Changers (one spark, more than 3 forms and possibly more than 3 personalities).

This is one Universal Stream.

There are 54 Quadrillion Universal Streams.

I had to use google’s calculator because mine wouldn’t cooperate but that gives us this number here = 520,364,160,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Wikipedia tells me that this number is approximately 520 Tredecillion. Not as nice sounding as Quintillion or Sextillion, I’ll admit. But it’s further down the list and therefore larger, so I will put up with how dumb it sounds.

Considering that we have yet another movie this year, three on-going comic series, and a new tv show due out next summer, we may just reach a googol within the next half decade.

[shinygreninja]

Aw son of a fuck.

Now, I have expended all of my possible resources for possible ships, but you must remember a novemdecillion is eighteen zeroes past a tredecillion. And even if that math did have a chance of being totally incorrect, just remember that we have seven sets of infinity sitting on top of the half-a-quadrillion ship pile.

[decepticonfetti]

Apologies, I counted wrong. It’s actually 520 Undecellion, not Tredecillion.

We only reach 1.03 Tredecillion if we add in Triple Changers. It’d be more if we applied every single bonding type to each personality, but I’m pretty sure that may cause some spark strain in the long run and be somewhat physically unhealthy.

I’m also not going to even attempt to calculate the possibilities of Triple Changers in conjunction with Gestalt Bonds because let’s face it, that would be a very ridiculous number, accompanied with the even more ridiculous imagery of Astrotrain and Blitzwing in an orgy with the Stunticons.

If there isn’t a fic of that already, there will be within the next five days.

As for Symbionts and Multi-Changers, there is not enough caffeine in the universe to challenge the headache that will bring me. I also forgot about Binary Bonding and again, that’d probably bring me more headache than can actually be cured. Still left out Humans and Non-Cybertronian Aliens.

But still, whatever number we manage to get for one Universal Stream, we can multiply it by 54 Quadrillion.

[shinygreninja]

Okay, you know what, I know when you have to give up.

Trophy to Transformers fandom.

[the-sparkbeat]

so. much. math. XD

[fhc-lynn]

Did he account for cross-continuity pairings? All the numbers sort of started to dance around.

[bones-and-struts]

Never fails to amuse me.

[iopele]

it’s time to throw this out here again

[empressofthelibrary]

There comes a point where you just have to realize that the Transformers Fandom is the sleeping giant at the bottom of the sea.

Soundwave: Wishes for this post to be blessed

[transformersredesigns]

We are Chaos and Order. We are an eternity of madness and War. We are unending and incomprehensible. We are Cybertronians and we are Eternal.

[tfpworkshop]

Yes

[tfpworkshop]

My headcannon: A wound that was either inflicted by a blade or something similar would worsen if the victim transforms. The reason for this, is that some plating would get caught inside the wound and would cause the wound to either stretch or become infected

(Don’t know if it makes sense the way I explained it, but I hope it is understandable)

[tfpworkshop]

Are you down with people messaging you?

Deepdrive: Go ahead!! Message me all you want :)

Sorry, I haven't been posting lately guys, I have trials in a few weeks and haven't been able to get a good solid block of spare time, but I can respond to messages in my breaks between studying.

[tfpworkshop]

800 followers!

Wow guys, thanks so much!

[tfpworkshop]

I headcanon that carriers eat metal when they're sparked in order to form the sparkling's protoform in their gestation chamber. If the gestation chamber is removed then a protoform has to be made by a medic so the spark can have aplace to go and not die within the carriers. A dying spark is a very painful feeling for carriers to experience when they're sparked.

HEADCANON ACCEPTED

[tfpworkshop]

for the head-cannon request post, a while back i saw this one about decepticon medics not using robot anesthetics because other cons didn't trust them enough, and i thought that maybe knockout got his name because he used anesthetics. because at the end of the day, knockout is a doctor, and doesn't want others to suffer.

HEADCANNON ACCEPTED (just um, maybe next time use the submit option, I’ve titled it ‘Got any headcanons?’)

[tfpworkshop]

Headcanon Submissions

Hey guys! Recently I have come up with a solution to the issue I have been having with the blog. Because I have studies and other commitments, on most normal days (I am on holiday right now) I find it difficult to find enough time to answer requests. 

So I have come up with the idea of opening up the submissions box! This is where you guys come in. If you have any of your own headcanons, you can submit them, and I’ll put the ones I like into the queue.

These headcanons can really be anything, but I’d prefer more general ones than romantic, and I’d also prefer short ones to longer ones. Stuff like what you think Ratchet’s favourite type of earth music is, do you think any of the ‘cons had siblings before the war? That sort of thing.

Thanks, guys!!

but like who started the idea that fanfiction writers are somehow bothered by enthusiasm for their work???? cause i see posts all the time like “do writers really want to talk with us about their fics? Do writers really want long comments? I dont want to bother them” and i just think its absolutely ridiculous????

ofc i want to talk to you about it, and would love to hear you go on about it. i took time out of my real life to write this stuff down so we could all share these characters!!! the idea that you’re bothering a fanfiction writer, a fellow nerd, is absolutely crazy

Personally I attribute at least part of this to the shift of fandom onto Tumblr platform. Because of the way Tumblr works, multiple replies and reactions can get cluttered and overwhelming really fast, so leaving replies and feedback can be awkward. I have actually seen ‘tumblr etiquette’ posts going around scolding people for adding commentary onto posts when they reblog it! Actually discouraging  people from reacting and adding their own words!  If any of this attitude spills over onto fanfic posts and reblogs, no wonder readers are shy about adding their own words to an author’s posts.

Dear fans on tumblr: 

WE, THE AUTHORS, REALLY WANT TO HEAR YOUR COMMENTS.

hi, do you still take yandere requests? if you do can we get yandere autobots?

Deepdrive: Did someone say yanderes?!?!

Optimus

This Yandere 100% thinks he is in the right and is really good and convincing you and others that he is. You’d barely be able to tell something is off, but everyone else can feel something wrong in the air. Optimus would be very possessive of s/o, and refuse to let them leave the Autobot base ‘for their protection’.

Bumblebee

Secret murder Yandere. And literally, no one would suspect him. Bee?!?! Nar, impossible! What would trigger him to murder would depend on how much time has passed since the obsession has begun. First,  it would be people that threaten you, but it would slip to those that threaten your relationship.

Bulkhead

Protective yandere. Probably one of the tamer ones. He’d murder anyone who hurts you, he doesn’t care the level of pain, he just needs to know they hurt you. Even that guy that accidentally tripped you isn’t safe. 

Ratchet

A very dangerous yandere indeed. Your life is the only life he cares about, and very quickly, you’re the only one he can tolerate. Everyone else is an annoyance, a distraction. Murder is not something he aims for, but he doesn’t mind one bit if it comes to it.

Smokescreen

He thinks that you are perfect. Absolutely perfect, and anyone who disagrees better not voices it if they value their lives. As well as anyone that could possibly break or smear the image he has of you gets it too. You are perfectly safe, you’re perfect, and could never do anything wrong that could upset him.

Wheeljack

He wants to impress you but doesn’t have a good idea on how. He’d show you how awesome he is by killing other cybertonians (bots and cons) right in front of you to show you his skills. First with cons, and say that he was ‘saving you’, even though he lured them to you, but he would spiral into madness and start to kill other bots to show that he is better than them, under the belief that you are interested in them.

Ultra Magnus

Oh boy, there is so much going on with this one. For one thing, he is constantly trying to convince himself that he is okay, he is sane, he isn’t doing anything wrong. So he would be constantly trying to find excuses. Suddenly rules and even the most minor breaches in form become a… punishable offence. Sometimes. When it involves you. He’d also use the rules to get you to do what he wants like he’d say you have to report to him on something to force you to spend more time with him… or to keep you on base…
