i have cried so many times the past few days just because of this movie
thought this thread was so important so i decided to share it here. read this, and then read it again. and AGAIN.
this is what I mean when I say terfs have no place in lesbianism.
Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair 1.01
theyre calling it the best show ever
Malcolm in the Middle: Life's still Unfair 1.03
But did he ever return?
No, he never returned
and his fate is still unlearned.
Shame and scandal.
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston.
He's the man who never returned.
He's the man who never returned.
Malcolm in the middle promo photoshoot ( 1999 )
Decided to add an Ilya set to the sketches and now they are reunited.
Babysitting a toddler is a lot like being the narration in a point-and-click adventure game. Watching him knock on the doors of empty rooms and saying "hmm. I don't think anyone's in there". Watching him attempt to use [spoon] on [cat] and saying "I don't think those things go together". Watching him throw a cup of water onto the floor and just commenting "the floor is wet now" when he looks up at me to see if I approve.
can anyone hear me
irina and ilyusha 🤍
So guess who started watching the Pitt...
Transformers Fanfic Terms 101
So @novelty-spark was asking about a masterpost for those sorts of things, I thought I’d throw down the terms i’ve used in my seasoned time as a TF fic writer. Shoutout to my bae @guttermech for helping with some of these tooooo
So for those who don’t know there’s actually a ton of strange inner-fandom terms and shorthand that’s used in fanfic/general discussions, and can also be used for tags on art.
First off there’s the different types of TF porn/fic.
Sticky and PnP/Wireplay are the most common, less common is Sparkplay/Sparkbonding There’s also a now-unheard of fourth type called Tactile/EM fieldplay.
Sticky: Sticky is organic-based sexual organs, with organic genitals. Usually it’s a set of a penis/vagina combo, but there’s lots of different versions. One thing is for sure; it’s messy, it’s slippery, and it’s the most common type of TF porn you’ll find.
PnP: Short for Plug-N-Play, it’s also sometimes called wireplay, is the counter to Sticky. It’s more based on the passing of electrical currents and information between two cybertronians to bring pleasure to both parties. The fact that it’s also a common phrase for electronics is a hilarious bonus for when you find that shit in public and can laugh about it.
Sparksex/Sparkplay/Sparkbonding: This is a fairly well recognized but not always utilized form of cybertronian coupling that involves direct interaction between two or more party’s sparks. It’s usually coupled with them becoming bondmates which is a term i’ll cover below in more detail.
Tactile/EMfieldplay: This is from the olden days, I’ve not seen any content made of this forgotten type in years and years, but now’s a good a time as any for a resurgance. EMfield stands for Electromagnetic Field, which is the sensory net that surrounds a cybertronian. Long ago [before time began…] it was very common for fics to include the fields as a form of close-contact, a field that would become meshed with others when cybertronians were near each other. This type of porn was more closely related to foreplay, though climax could easily be reached by the two [or more!] fields interacting. This one’s pretty complex to explain here, but I think I’ve got the gist of it down.
Here’s a list of some terms, not all are inherently sexual but are useful to know for the flow of things/knowing the name of some parts of the anatomy and terms:
Interfacing is sex. It’s just what sex is called, pretty basic.
cable/cord/plug are the words for a robot penis, however a lot of people call them ‘spikes’ too, which is uncomfortable sounding as hell! Let’s normalize cord/cable/plug =u= I’ve also seen
Valve is the term used for a penetrable hole, a vagina or butthole or whateverthefuck, it’s also sometimes called a port.
Anterior/Outer node is a term used for a clitoris, and
Calipers are the internal structure of a valve/port, similar to the muscle structure inside organic holes to clench/cause a milking action.
Overload is what an orgasm is called.
Transfluid is cybertronian ejaculate/jizz. Most artistic renderings have it be glowing like Energon but it can be just about anything you want, I used to write it as silver or different colors, they’re robots, go wild. Glowy jizz or metallic jizz or black inky jizz or just white jizz, who cares! It’s jizz! Have fun!
CNA is sometimes used as a version of DNA, often used for when baby Cybertronians are talked about being made through sexual reproduction. On that note-
Sparklings, are baby cybertronians. Sometimes they’re also called protoforms but more often than not Sparklings is the most accurate way to get it. Protoforms are also a canon material so I don’t know if anyone uses it anymore. I'm not going over different methods of sexual and asexual cybertronian reproduction because that honestly deserves a post all it’s own.
Glossa is what tongues are called, while
Coolant is often used as their version of saliva
servo is used interchangeably for any moving part w/ a joint- legs, arms, fingers, etc [for fingers i would suggest ‘digits’ too ]
Vents are used to describe air flow and to emulate panting/heavy breathing, often used for when a cybertronian starts to get heated and their vents will turn on, expelling hot air.
Pedes are words used instead of ‘feet’
Chevron is the shape that’s on many Cybertronian’s heads, [examples: prowl, ratchet]
Headfins are another helmet shape, often described as sensitive or an erogenous zone. [examples: sunstreaker, fort max]
Kibble is the name of anything that is not a vital part of the cybertronian’s anatomy but is needed in order to form their alt mode. Examples include tires, headlights, car doors on arms/back.
Door-wings are pretty self-explanatory, but they are a specific anatomy belonging to the likes of Prowl, Jazz, TFP/Bayverse/RID2015 Bumblebee; they are the doors for their car mode that are perched between the shoulders like wings.
Audials are used instead of 'ears’, while
Finials describe a more protruding shape of 'ears’, such as those on Shockwave, Drift, and Wing.
And as a special added note, here are some Cybertronian curse words often used in fics:
Dross [Damn]
Frag [fuck] fragger, fragging, etc
Scrap [shit]
Slag[aggressive derogatory term, means to call someone scum or garbage]
Feel free to add things! I hope this helps! 8U
Here’s how *I* write the robot romance and sex in 2024 (many but not all of these may be pre-existing fandom or sci-fi terms):
“Choose Your Gear” is the (tentative) tag I use for the specific version of robot sex I am currently writing.
Frame/chassis - the bot’s whole body and/or body-type
Hook(ing) up - slang-ish term for connecting via wires and/or cables. Not inherently romantic or sexual but can be used for such. The “plug n play”
SCREW, Standard Cybertronian Realtime Electronic Workspace, Cyber Space - the virtual 'space’ which may be perceived by bots when they “hook-up” or “go virtual” or “space” together.
Spacing - hanging out together connected and in virtual reality; for many bots implied low situaltional awareness of material world.
Diving - a specific type of hooking up or spacing without rendered cyberspace in which the bot experiences the other’s system on a data level.
Spark - the glowing cluster of positrons (in positive universes at least) that is functionally a bot’s life(force).
Spark stuff - slang-ish term for romantic or recreational interfacing with sparks.
Attune, attunement, being attuned - when bots are accustomed to each other’s presence, spark, or energy field and able to subconsciously recognize each other; not a permanent bond, but considered alike to a temporary bond.
Sparkbond - a (pretty much) permanent entanglement between two or more sparks. Not necessarily sexual or romantic, could be familial or friendship based, but is also typical of sparkmates or conjunxes.
Energy, energy field, EM signature - energies that radiate or spin off of a bot’s spark which may be sensed by other bots or beings sensitive to such energies.
Field interaction - the sense of two or more fields colliding and interacting in a shared space. Bots may be more or less sensitive to this and have differing beliefs or abilities with “reading” EM emissions. Some may perceive colors or emotions, while others rarely sense anything.
Field expansion, field contraction - the expansion or contraction of a bot’s field in spatial dimensions. Some bots have conscious control over this, while others may not. May also happen unintentionally due to changes in mood, injury, or power level.
Polite distance - the distance at which a bot determines their own field will not interact with that of another bot and thus they are not imposing their energy on another.
Gear or Equipment- slang-ish terms for robot genitalia-analogous parts in general
Form(s) - the specific genitalia-analogous part(s) selected
Interface array - the internal part of the robot body/frame/chassis that is typically covered by a retractable panel and which generates the “gear” of selected “forms” that bots choose to “interface” with. Standard, upgrade, modded, and custom versions can exist, depending somewhat on whether a bot was forged or constructed with one or later had one installed, or changed out their existing array for another model.
CySI, Cybertronian Standard Interface array - A specific and common model of interface array which typically has one convex slot above one concave slot and as many as three alignment nodes.
Interface - in this context, the recreational and non-reproductive interplay of parts
Concave slot(s) - the section(s) of an array capable of generating concave forms, like a stator (clinical), valve, port, slot etc. (confusingly there’s “slot” in this sense of expansion slot, but also a specific concave form called a “slot” which bots may wish some other forms or part to enter.)
Calipers - some concave forms may include internal calipers that both sense and may contract against entering parts/forms.
Mesh, valve mesh - (not in this sense mech-flesh) internal woven wire mesh that functions as walls of some concave forms.
Flaps, lips - external parts generating around and with a form, most typical of, but not necessarily exclusive to, the area around concave forms. Available in various shapes and arrangements.
Rollers, wheels, casters, bearings - the tiny rolling parts inside some “analogue” types of concave forms (in place of or instead of a mesh) that mechanically move under traction from entering parts and help in building charge.
Convex slot(s) - the section(s) of an array capable of generating convex forms, like a rotor (clinical), spike, stick, button, etc.
Node, alignment node - part(s) of the array along with any of the concave or convex forms. typically they glow and may have haptic feedback of some sort. Where a bot has more than one, specific nodes may be designated as anterior/posterior, upper/mid/lower, etc.
Compatibility mode - software associated with the interface array hardware that enables a bot to run in an interface mode even more compatible with a specific known and/or scanned alien species, but which may have some minor side-effects as the bot’s array attempts to emulate another species organs/parts and approximate their function
Dialing up, Dialing down - a bot changing the overall scale/size of their “gear” to obtain desired fit with a partner significantly larger or smaller. Though bots have a range of sizes proportionate to their frame, there can be physical limits to that range.
Scanning - in this context, scanning another’s gear or other organs/parts to obtain measurements to inform fit and compatibility.
Charge - slang-ish for the energy generated through interfacing
Magnetic flux - the differential in magnetic fields that is caused by the movement of metal parts with or within magnetic fields during interfacing. Perceived as pleasurable and energetic.
Chasing the flux - slang-ish way to say working to build charge in order to overload
Overload - generating enough charge, in this context through interfacing, such that circuit capacity is over-loaded. Perceived as high-energy and/or fullness. A bot’s systems may attempt to expel excess energy in their overload state, activating systems and abilities to put the energy to use.
Bare metal - 1. slang-ish term for a bot’s thinner (non-armor) dermal plating which may or may not actually show their native alloys they were forged/constructed with, often in the sense of scraping or getting down to this layer. 2. A specific brief appearance of liquid metal during the process of generating a form from the interface array. Considered taboo to touch this.
Glossa, sensor nodule - a tongue-analagous part for licking, tasting, or chemically sampling.
Gloss - 1. to speak or understand a meaning 2. to lick in such a way as to shine with oral lubricants
Binomial Data Transfer - a method of transmitting short bursts of data from bot-to-bot via a dedicated port located beneath the base of the sensor nodule in the mouth. Often perceived as a means of transmitting end-of-life or emergency plans in a goodbye kiss.
There’s probably more and I didn’t cover general body parts or curses, but I need to go do my actual fic writing for the day.
A relatively messy study/fanart for project hail mary, the last month has really awakened my inner space loving child again
Also fun fact, while drawing Man of war by Radiohead started randomly playing which i think is very veru fitting for this
drunk karaoke best karaoke
the ogilvie and whitaker ambulance scene is a deliberate parallel to the first season's collins and robby exchange, and a subtle means of intimating a prior romantic correspondence between ogilvie and whitaker which culminated in a pregnancy neither were prepared to assume responsibility for, and thus relinquished… the identity of which is our baby jane doe
