oh god am i going to be expected to get invested in humans....... in a comic full of giant robots.....? no. i'm sorry.
Definitely. The only one I like okay is what's-her-face, whose name I can never remember. Thundercracker's human. I like her when she's sassing the giant, ancient robot over his screenplays. But I can't stand Spoiler: RiD something. 30? 32? Spike motherfucking Witwicky And also the other dude. The blond dude. You motherfucker, you're better than this. You're better than hanging out with Spike (everyone is better than hanging out with spike). Go track down Verity, you've known her since forever and she needs a friend, you ass. edit: but i have had good luck skimming through humans to get back to my robot husbands and/or wives
It's okay they don't actually have a huge amount of screentime it's just like... some of the more tedious parts of Season One of RID I think, in occasional page format. The shorter version of the grainy RID OP issues I skipped because I couldn't.... I couldn't handle it..........
YES. YES. He is literally the best thing, I love him so dearly I can't stand it. I spent a phase and a half not giving a single solitary shit about him, and now I care so much.
Okay, so I'm moving into Combiner Wars-- do I need to bounce between Windblade season 2 and exRID, or will exRID have all of the arc within itself?
Bouncing, I'm pretty sure. I don't thiiiiink there's a combined thing like with DC, I'm pretty sure I just read my paperback combined one, but I remember it was a pain on viewcomic.
Blegh, the humans. The whole Earth storyline bores me to tears. It's a dinky little nowhere dirtball whose only importance is that the tide of the war changed there, and also Spoiler The Enigma of Combination and Ore-13 landed there And yeah, the humans got fucked over by the war and are justifiably unhappy with the cybertronians. But with the exception of Faireborn and Verity Carlo all of the humans are either boring or awful and boring.
Okay whoever said Elastic Heart was Megatron? JFC I was listening to it today and you are so damn right. I think the second verse just pinged me hard as Rodimus, but that first verse -- maybe it's both of their song? Also speaking of songs for Bots. This is totes a Rodimus song:
Yeah, I just figured that out. Ah well, I can bounce between tabs until this is over. Half the reason why I picked up exRID in the first place was to know wtf was going on with Combiner Wars when I was reading through the Windblade comics. (Sidenote: Windblade<3<Starcream??? YES???)
You forget the notable exception of Spike Witwickey, who is in fact super awful and ultra boring to a degree no other human character can hope to match
Spoiler: spoilers for RID in general I'm still super bitter they did what they did with Spike and seemed to be taking a page for Bayverse about everything early on. I remember getting an issue at free comic book day waaay back and it's part of what turned me off -- hell Prime at the time seemed too Bayverse and I didn't give it a chance for years.
SO MUCH YES. Iiiiiiiii really want to write her stepping on him on his dick with built in high heels. And him angrily agreeing to bondage because sass sass OH YOU THINK I STILL COULDN'T TAKE YOU OUT LIKE THIS, WELL FINE. And then they baaaaaaanged I've been feeling guilty because my ao3 document is such a dudefest, but I'm dying to either write Windblade<3<Starscream or Nautica<3Brainstorm as soon as the spoons present themselves, so I can fix that.
I am in fact in favor of Elastic Heart being a Megatron and Rodimus song where they can both dramatically do a rendition of the motherfucking video. Give me megatron as shia laboeuf. Give me Rodimus as Maddie Ziegler
SPEAKING IF RODIMUS SONGS actually this is just sort of the Lost Light anthem Spoiler: lyrics [Verse 1: Fergie] I ain’t got time for you baby, either you’re mine or you’re not Make up your mind sweet baby, right here, right now’s all we got A little party never killed nobody, so we gon’ dance until we drop A little party never killed nobody, right here, right now’s all we got Islands, diamonds, trips around the world Don’t mean a thing if I ain’t your girl [Hook – Fergie (2x):] A little party never killed nobody, so we gon’ dance until we drop A little party never killed nobody, right here, right now’s all we got [Verse 2: Q-Tip] All we got, all we got, all we got, all we got All we got, all we got, all we got, all we got Glad that you made it, look around You don’t see one person sitting down They got drinks in their hands and the room’s a bust At the end of the night maybe you’ll find love Fake chit chat ’bout the things they got And my stout reputation keeping it hot girl At the party of the year I’m a master plan If you make me realize I’m your man [Verse 3: Fergie] If the people get loud, Underneath the moonlight Hotsy-totsy, paparazzi, Hold it while I take this pic Speak easy, Rocking the fellas I’m breezy Hope you can keep up boys, 'Cause believe me, I’m the bee's knees [Bridge (2x):] It don’t mean a thing if I give you my heart If you tear it apart, no, uh, uh, ah, oh It don’t mean a thing if I ain’t in your eyes Papa that ain’t gonna fly, no, uh, uh, ah, oh Just one night’s all we got [4x] What do you think GoonRock? Are you ready? [Hook] edit: Five minutes after I post this and my horrible brain goes "Rodimus is Gatsby and the green light is Fatherly Approval" someone please remive me from myself.
I am here to share my very professional plotting skills Though it's more like I'm here to guilt myself into actually finishing the goshdarn motherfucking fic. I'm 2.6k deep, I have downed an energy drink and half a bottle of coke, but the focus, it eludes me. I'm just getting to the good stuff, so maybe that will give me a boost. But I really want to get this finished and published so I don't have a chance to forget that it exists and never wrap it up. Guhh, I'm supposed to be doing overtime for work and earning dollars, not wasting my time refreshing and refreshing and refreshing tumblr while I try to scrape together the focus to force myself to write a story that I really, really want to write.
this fic is going to fuckin hurt me. i can tell! i am already wincing in anticipation of the pain!!! i would like to issue a "fuck you" in advance, followed by a muffled sob, and an equally muffled "thank you"
