[slides in some semi-drunk text attempts] "i hate pretentious autobots, and 'cons with wavering sparks the only thing to give me peace is ripping them apart i'm spending all my days hunting and killing wayward 'cons killing and dismembering for our lord megatron i'm a member of the DJD executioner, judge, and jury with a fresh new t-cog in the morning singing a deadly song bash in his head, and rip out his brain where's all the fun if he feels no pain? you think you can run away, you'll never run from me, i am a member of the DJD!"
Spoiler: THE MOTHERFRIKIN' TAAO ANNUAL MY BOOOOOOYYYYYY! MY BOY! My boy! myyyyy boyyyyyy starscream did a good thing ALL HAIL WINDBLADE MOTHERFUCKERS!
Spoiler i got spoiled for, uh, Windblade getting slapped by Marguerite's own tumblr, so let's see how it happened... Awww Starscream. I'm suspicious but also endeared. Hah yep that's our boy. ....BEAST. Well if you wanted to get me to dislike Mistress of Flame even more in preparation for her presumably getting beat by Windblade... Starscream what is your game. 'legally I can't stop her' your aft, since when has that been a problem for you. did you really want her to tell them? aww Waspinator is helping! 'the chosen one' STARSCREAM. IT'S HIM THE FANCY BIRD "He's happy here" KNOCKOUUUT oh my god he's cheerfully talking with Bee's ghost. Starscream. brawl thinks that they'd A) get married and B) Windblade would be the one to propose. i mean. he isn't especially wrong he's just one quadrant off. .....oh my god Starscream. holy SHIT. and it's STARSCREAM. AND IT'S STARSCREAM
Spoiler also GOD i need so much starscream-POV fic from this, i thought i'd have to content myself with just him (un?)consciously reaching out for Windblade in the last issue and NO. there's SO MUCH and i can't deal with any of it.
Spoiler: TAAO FUCK YOU AND YOUR PRIME CRAP I’m laughing so hard, oh my god XD It’s so nice to have the bar crew together again...look at his big sad big eyes ;-; HONEY PPFFFFFT INCREDIBLE... Murder or proposal, there is no in between Ooohhh boy, Airachnid’s fucking pissed IM IN ACTUAL PHYSICAL PAIN. PLEASE LET MY BOY BE REBUILT AND TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT BUMBLEBEE. I’m so proud and I don’t want him to be locked up for the rest of his life. I can’t even imagine what kind of effect being locked up in a tiny cell for the rest of forever would have on a flier...
ALSO Spoiler THAT HOLOGRAM. IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING WILDBLADE MADE FOR HIM HERSELF RIGHT. SHE SAT DOWN AND RECREATED IT FROM MEMORY TO GIVE IT TO HIM. UNLESS SHE SOMEHOW DOWNLOADED HER MEMORY OF IT INTO THE THING WHICH WOULD ALSO DESTROY ME.
Man my portrayal of the Mistress of Flame as an autocrat who does not tolerate deviation or disobedience in the DT roleplay just gets more and more accurate. (She had my priestess-historian carrier locked up in near-isolation for a long time for refusing to destroy historical records that go against the religious dogma.)
Spoiler: TAAO Also, I love her face? Between her and Vigilem look alike man, I’m loving it This guy who must have styled his whole look based off the body of the Titan he and his people have been keeping as a living prison for millions of years...talk about dedication. Yellow makeup has the face paint, this guy has the visor...it just appeals to me so much!
Spoiler: TAAO annual I don’t want to ping her before she’s had a chance to read it, but Till All Are One Annual 2017: Does Spock Is Psychic? And If So, Why Has She Chosen to Share Her Gift Via Fanfiction, Not That I Am Complaining
I was thinking about the DJD, like you do, and had several thoughts. First, DJD scans in place of Crystal Gems in the Steven Universe theme song. Please let that marinate a bit. Second, they seem like a manifestation of what I see as a Decepticon notion that survival is tantamount to endorsement. The third and last thing is that the DJD won’t let me be, or let me be me, so let me see, they hunt me down in sector one one three, but it feels so empty without me.
Triple post combo, because I can’t I won’t and I don’t stop the DJD singalong hour. Spoiler We! Are the DJD! We always kill our mark! And if you think we can’t, We hope you bet your spark! That’s why the traitors to! our! cause! Flee Helex, Tarn, Tesarus, Vos, Ka-oon, And Nickel!
also an issue of Optimus Prime dropped yesterday. and now I really need to see the effects of the Annual ripple out to the other writers.
Spoiler Ahahaha, you're too kind!! XD I was just thinking wistfully about how my two taao-focused series are pretty out of line with recent developments, and aren't really shaped to do anything but diverge further and further from canon, so it was amazing to come over here and read that. Also, Brawl starting to tear up there? DAMN, SON, I am HERE for this!!!! Also also, Vortex and I are kindred spirits and I don't know how to feel about that i tell a lie, i'm pleased beyond words
