I obviously need coffee before I try to think, otherwise this is what I get. Spoiler: LL14, dark cybertron, ridiculous Once Shockwave compresses the entirety of time and space into a single point he will finally have completed his efficiency audit of the DJD. Take that, Damus.
Spoiler Shockwave: I would never allow myself to be distracted by something so petty and illogical as revenge. Shockwave: This is an audit.
Spoiler: current-ish lost light, more ridiculous thoughts If you happen to be familiar with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, please imagine with me Tailgate doing the box monologue. “Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect.”
Spoiler I'm blanking on a better title to match the original, or more good content, but Tailgate And The Scavengers Are Dead would be a delightful thing to read
Spoiler: through LL12 Meanwhile, on Rosencrantz and the Entire Crew of the Lost Light are Dead, "I think I have it. Time has stopped dead. The single experience of one coin being spun once is being repeated.... 156 times. On the whole, doubtful." "We have been spinning coins together since... I don't know when, and in all that time, if it is all that time, 157 coins spun consecutively have come down heads 157 consecutive times, and all you can do is play with your food!"
im back at it again memeing my way through the pain of getting into this (also new cooler icon ayy) Spoiler: ive no idea what to label this spoiler as, but uuh MTMTE spoilers up to issue #22 ig Spoiler: robot gore
Spoiler: LL14, LSotW, one more random aequitas trivia thing Btw Scorponok's friend Flame there is the Autobot we actually got to see being tried by Aequitas.
I was dwelling again on how weird it is that Cybertronians are not exactly their planet’s apex predator since they don’t seem to actually be predators at all. Well except if you’re actually desperate enough or maybe it’s your kink or something. I have a pretty strong conviction that a society that hasn’t eliminated things like addiction and lack of access to medical care for the needy is not organized enough to eliminate a natural dietary option so completely that four million years of war wouldn’t ease the taboo. Surely people would at least joke about how edible a nonsentient creature looked after all those rations. But they seem way more likely to fight about whether it’s okay to keep it as a pet than even think about eating it. So I was thinking yet again about whether eating ore is sufficiently like being an herbivore. I couldn’t really come up with a reason why rocks wouldn’t be analogous to plants except that they don’t grow back as much. Then I remembered that someone had tried growing new ones. Did Shockwave invent agriculture? It was not well-received.
I tend to classify them as "Not really comparable to earth life forms" because yeah. They eat rocks. On the other hand there´s no reason a dominant species MUST be a predator, apex or otherwise. I would really like to know how cybertrons ecosystem worked before they fucked it up though. On an entirely different note, anyone able to hook me up with fanartists who sell stickers? My Calendar is badly in need of robots.
skywarper on tumblr sells stickers!!! this is their storeenvy. theyre all decepticon ones, if youre interested in that!! jambandit i think used to sell stickers too of some of the mtmte cast, idk if theyre planning to make more, but i can definitely ask!
I conceptualize cybertron and all its inhabitants as some kind of weirdass colony lifeform, which regrettably for it has a sentient caste that keeps fucking everything up.
Ty! I am indeed interested in Decepticons, especially Starscream. That is such a cool headcanon! (I kind of desire Cybertron scolding the entirely of the tranformers now.)
Having your population go to planet-decimating million-year war is, like, the world equivalent of an autoimmune disease. Or maybe it's a perfectly normal immune response to your spark fields going barren after part of your body has decided that cold-constructed exponential replication is the cool new thing. Chemotherapy via nuclear hellfire.
