There are two things involving Shockwave and Elita-1 I’d really love to see in a transformers series (they are not compatible):
1. Them being absolutely enemies. Elita and Shockwave hate each other. They got like 4 billion years of extra war between them and they cannot stand even the sight of one another. Optimus and Megatron wish they hated each other as much as Shockwave and Elita do. They should get to be silly, terrible rivals at least once, please <3
2. Shockwave and Elita-1 ending the war on Cybertron and for a more crack version of this getting together too. Genuinely I’d be so into a series where like Optimus and Megatron establish communication back with Cybertron and the war is just over. Even funnier the war is over and their respective romantic partners are now married

I know some of us like to pepper Gaelic endearments into our ghostsoap from time to time and I thought hey! Maybe I should finally share my little headcanon as to how Soap even came about knowing the language in the first place:
I like to think that his granny (who raised him and his siblings) was from the Inner Hebrides and grew up using it. She moved to the lowlands after marrying, became a Gaelic-medium teacher. Thus, Soap attended the school she taught at and had a Gaelic-medium education throughout primary. (Gme students are taught completely in Gaelic from p1-p3 with English being incorporated later.) While not continuing it in secondary, he still had a fluent adult at home keeping the language fresh in his mind. That’s. The bare bones of it anyway.
Anyway I wanted to share this because I’ve seen the occasional person say it’s ridiculous to suddenly see him speaking Gaelic in fics (which is a very fair point of course. few people are immersed in it, it remains a threatened language) but the thought of someone who wanted to include it in their work who then might not because of this is disheartening. Should they do the proper research beforehand, it is plausible when given the right ingredients.
It’s a language that should be celebrated, not discouraged, especially given the history. Having a character know it just really depends on the different factors you throw into their backstory. Even if the author doesn’t explain it, it should then be up to the reader to assume he’s not just pulling the language out of thin air. Idk, if call of duty fanfic of all things can expose people to Gàidhlig and garner interest in some to learn a bit of the language, I just. That is a good thing

on to 2024… 🌸
if you had told me that “kiss me in komorebi” has 168 posts under its belt, i wouldn’t have believed you. almost 200 posts, and we’ve had one rose ceremony? 😅 you know i can’t resist a story!
uber gushy post under the cut ⬇️
2023 was an incredibly amazing and simultaneously terrifying year for me. we moved out of my in-laws house and into our first apartment, only to get removed from our jobs unfairly and driven to near bankruptcy as a result. i’ve had intense highs and devastating lows, and throughout it all, my friends here and my little pixel people helped me keep my head above the dismal despair of every hard moment.
i’ve been incredibly removed from simblr as a social space lately, and aside from my usual social anxiety FOMO, i regret it because this is an amazing and truly wonderful community that deserves more!! we are all bonded in our mutual experience of “i imagined this and it excited me so much that i just had to share it with someone, i hope you enjoy it too” and that has done so much for my own personal sense of creativity and imagination 🥹
tumblr limiting me by 30 pics is obscene because i saved over 100+ in reading back through this challenge. seriously, how has so much and so little happened?? and really, it’s not so little at all. the wonderful creators who entrusted their sims not only just to me as their watcher™️ to have in my game, but also as a writer to give them voice?? i have enjoyed every second of watching these tiny little artificial intelligences interact with one another, and as we advance into the more serious portion of this challenge, i will miss every single on of them as they continue on this journey with dan 🥹
who, by mentioning, is my fucking son. i have never been so emotionally attached to a sim before: i’ve loved all my gp sims, you have to!! but i look at dan and i know his story (well, of course, BUT STILL), i know who he is and i just… i love the lil guy 🥹🙏 bless you all for giving his hunkiness a place in your hearts: he has flourished so far beyond the stoic, kinda-grumpy dilf he began as (and we can all thank nova sammyshuno for his existence at all) and i am so thankful this challenge took him in a different direction than what i originally saw for him!
he is my lil goober and i would have him no other way 💛 my gratitude post is still in the works: i have a lot to do on the side for myself and my fiance, and even though i have every reason to continue on my mission forward with our sidework (voice acting), my executive dysfunction and general depression had me sitting on my ass this morning, scrolling through screenshots instead of editing maxwell’s vacation or recording audios to post. i am stuck in cycles, and breaking them has never been my strong suit. 😩
but this is a new year!! and i swear to everything, i am not going through another one like the last. you all will be seeing much more of me, both as a simblr and as a friend, and i can’t wait to see what this new year has in store for us 💛
thank you to all my wonderful contestants’ creators and the absolutely fantastic lot of you who are following along with daniel and his quest for love 🥹🙏 here’s to 2024 and all it has to offer!!

People who see entire demographics of humanity as “the enemy” are so baffling to me, whether they’re incels/misogynists or racists or radfems or whomever I just look at them and wonder why you’d choose a life of such misery. People of a certain gender, sexuality, race or whatever demographic are not inherently your enemy just because they are part of said demographic. Gender and race essentialism is incredibly dangerous and untrue and it especially confuses me when people who claim to be trans allies abide by the former because that mindset is especially dangerous to trans people.
People are individuals, not a hive mind. Society as a whole has massive issues, and some groups may benefit from them more than others (like how the patriarchy hurts men but they still benefit from it far more than women ever will because it has men in mind, albeit only a certain type of man), but individuals are individuals. And what a depressing life it must be to instead navigate the world believing that millions of people are beneath you before they’ve even spoken a word.
