Trying to find posts about human and transformer interactions that aren't people thirsting over the GIANT METAL ALIENS is so hard. and its like... I get it, canon gave you guys fuck all in terms of romance, but they also gave me fuck all in terms of "how would humanity react to giant metal aliens just like. coming to earth. and also waging some weird maybe-a-war here" and I wanna read about that, but alas, all the content that DOES exist of that is in a sea of romance, which yknow, glad ya'll are having fun!!! I don't want people to stop, but my aroace self does NOT want to hear about how much you want that robot, and half (over-exaggeration) of you guys suck at tagging if its x reader
love the idea of the transformers being seen as cryptids in their respective universes. optimus being a ghost truck with no rider cruising down a lonely highway, offering help to those lost on the side of the road. starscream, the phantom f22 with no callsign who won't respond to any radio signals. ratchet as the lone ambulance that isn't registered to any local hospital, but will sometimes rush people to the emergency room without warning. mirage being a porsche without a driver that'll playfully race other drivers on lonely roads, then seemingly vanish into thin air. the potential is incredible.

A Plea from the Heart: I Am Fatima, and This Is My Story
My name is Fatima, a teacher from Gaza. I used to work in a small school I loved dearly, planting hope in the hearts of children and teaching them that tomorrow could be better. But the war took everything away. My school was bombed, I lost my job, and our home was reduced to rubble. Yet, I refused to give up. I set up a small tent amid the destruction and continued teaching children, showing them that knowledge is a light that cannot be extinguished, even in the darkest times.
My husband, Akram, was my partner and pillar of support. But he was severely injured in an attack targeting civilians. His abdominal injuries are so severe that he can no longer work or even lift basic items. Every day, I see the pain in his eyes and feel the weight of helplessness, but I try to stay strong for him and for our children.
Our eldest, Manar, is four years old, and she’s missing out on her childhood amidst this devastation. Our youngest, Ibrahim, was born under bombardment just a year ago. He has suffered greatly due to the lack of milk and proper medical care. Yet, sometimes, he smiles, and in those brief moments, I find the strength to keep going.
We now live in a fragile tent that doesn’t shield us from the cold or rain. Every day is a new battle for survival. I write these words while holding my children’s hands, with nothing left but my faith in God and the hope that your kind hearts will hear our plea.
Please help us provide milk and food for our children, ease Akram’s pain, and rebuild even a small part of the life the war has destroyed. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a big difference in our lives.
I ask you to share our story and be our support during this harsh and unforgiving time.

lmao so like, theres someone in a yt comment section thats trying to argue that the guy who killed that healthcare exec is a horrible person or whatever, and I replied with something along the lines of "i think we should kill people who kill others (which is what healthcare execs do) actually" and they got all upset abt that, and in their response called me a coward for not following thru on my words (which, wild ass take for someone who seemingly hates murder, u want me to go murder ppl????) so I responded with "who says i'm a coward" and I find it funny that I implied I commit murders (which I don't, I got my own issues going on that time in jail or being constantly paranoid wouldn't help) and I wonder if that guys gonna take me seriously
man it was NOT fair for the tadc episode 8 and searching for a world that doesnt exist part 2 to be so close together, how am I meant to obsses over both of those AND my current transformers fixation
the guy in my head that insists on being a fictional character is being so annoying :/ like I get it, romance is ick, but you insisted on being a popular fictional character! ur gonna see ship art of not-you! I can't do anything about that!!! its not like the character ur acting as is even like, canonically aroace! for the love of god shuuuuut upppppp
can't read any fucking fics with him in it without the guy in my brain cosplaying the character going "I would do that" or "I would not do that, how dare they accuse me of that" and like bro. thats not you. thats someones interpretation of the character you're acting as. pleasssssse shut up for a second, and by a second, I mean like a whole hour of the day cause I read to many fanfics and currently I'm reading fics from the fandom ur in

literally just whisper-yelled at my screen "Ha suck it bitch!" cause I ratio'd someone. and like, suuuure what I ratiod them over was them saying all of a certain group of ppl (said group not one you choose to join, but are instead born into) are dangerous, but I feel like I need to go get a life or something, that was so cringe of me, and I know I'm allowed to be cringe but wtv man
watched the movie "into the storm" and !!!!! for being rated so low, its great!!! 10/10 I really dunno how they could improve it (I rate movies based on how much they could be improved, or well, I am right now anyways, might change my rating system later who knows)
spoilers under keep reading if you wanna watch it w/ out spoilers
and like, the only death I cared about happened at the end and wasn't even on screen so I can totally just pretend that character didnt die,
but even with the lack of characters you probably care about dying, theres definetly tension!! and I feel like the actors did a good job with acting, but I suck with emotions so maybe it wasn't as good as I felt like it was
and I SO love movies that have reasons for existing in universe, and like, regular movies where theres not someone recording it are still fine, I enjoyed the minecraft movie (bc I knew to expect it to be more like a mc server a friend group would have then anything to do with potential minecraft lore or the themes of the end poem, if I didnt know to expect that I'd have hated it lol) and that was filmed without an in universe reason for existing
but like, I so so so love it when its presented as being recorded on a camera and then the footage got recovered and is now being shown or in this movies case, it was never lost, so it didn't really get recovered, but it DID get edited into an in-universe documentary, which is kinda funny bc one guy totally gets swept into a fire tornado and that just like, in the movie??? So in universe, there's a documentary about the biggest tornado ever, and in the documentary, some guy just gets eaten by a fire tornado
no one really like, dies on screen, so you don't gotta worry about that. bc of how tornadoes are, most deaths are the camera going all glitchy then black with the implication that "the tornado ate them :/" or something (except the fire tornado guy, the fire tornado guy disappears into the fire tornado, which is filmed by someone else)
anyways, as always with thriller movies, you gotta kinda assume they have a bit of cartoon logic or else you'll spend half the movie going "thats not how that works!" bc oml these tornadoes are very narrow in their destruction, if the visible bit of the tornado isn't touching it, it almost certainly won't be destroyed, unless the tornado already picked in up, then it might be throwing that around
also speaking of cartoony-ness, the movie has 2 characters I think are meant to be comic relief, and I also think they're sorta meant to be like, hill billies? idk, but they're neat and survive getting flung by a tornado one time
anyways yah! good movie I liked it and think the characters are pretty good!
$ say "can't help with thing, ask ; to help with thing" I say okay, I go to to thing, $ follow to help??? I say why here, they say the help?????? say $ lie, $ go "oh my health, didn't lie" and I get it!!!!!! ur health "bad" (literally no noticeable change), ur gonna die tommorrow or whatever, not excuse to lie!!!!!!!! atleast don't DENY you lie!!!!!!!!
brains are stupid, wth do you mean we actually just wanted the costume to be finished and not to go trick or treating? did you change our mind? or did you just not tell me :/ not nice brain, not nice.
drawing n stuff, trying to figure out how you draw canids cause one of my characters is a werewolf, learned the reference photos are a thing you really should use, and that drawing the same person is sooooo hard :/ like I am trying to draw the character, not my dad, pls brain, you know what I want to draw let us draw it
