Back on my bullshit

huh that sounds handy
definitely nothing like that round here though, sounds like American Author Didn't Do The Research Syndrome again. xP

 

There's a plant called soapwort which does basically the same thing, and is native to eurasia btw so it might have been that.

i think it also went by soaproot sometimes since the roots to contain most of the soapy stuff

ETA: like, the plants aren't particularly closely related, but both were used for washing when one didn't have actual soap-soap

 

PREDACONS???????

 

soundwave talking like a normal person is still incredibly disorienting

 

also frankly I think my favorite thing about Exodus is the way it fleshes out Cybertron with all these random one-line details? oh yeah there's a theme park with maglev roller coasters
oh yeah a massive portion of early decepticons were minicons bc they're just as dismissed and disenfranchised as the labor castes
oh yeah there's a random artsy commune on the slope of a volcano that uses surface lava for metalcrafting
oh yeah castes are sorted into guilds
oh yeah emps actually do affect Cybertronians and can kill them
y'know
random things we will never come back to

 

jazz just casually hanging out with bee and screamer at a pit match
nbd

 

wait
starscream is somehow in two places at once
confusion

 

STARSCREAM WAS SENTINEL'S BODYGUARD
W H A T

 

and also deadass got him killed, because starscream, but yknow

 

=0?????

 

Sentinel is present at one of the initial Decepticon attacks, and Starscream hurries him out as Loyal Bodyguard

 

starting things off as he means to go on i see
luv u screamer

 

Scientist starscream also confirmed????? starscream how many jobs do you have
when do you sleep

 

stares at this soundy
stares at idw soundy
how the tables have tabled

 

apparently the constructicons are a guild and not just the one combiner

 

hey
hey
in-universe quoting of the Covenant of Primus

@IvyLB paging local Unicron nerd

 

PEACE THROUGH TYRANNY WAS ORIGINALLY OP'S TURN OF PHRASE IN THIS UNIVERSE
I'M DYING
this is in his big lecture at the High Council, ftr

 

given that even dead things don't actually stay the same, i think primus wrote that while he was really sulky with his bro

 

oh my god the megop breakup is literally because the Council dumped the title of Prime on OP during their hearing instead of doing anything useful
Megatron you dumb prideful ho
