“Hello then, to an Upright cousin.” The child (...) grabs his jacket boldly, pointing back to the door through which Mird brought it.
“Is what you seek through there?”
“Eh,” it grunts in frustration, waving even more vigorously through the door.

Just a cleaned up sketch WIP for now, because I don't deal too well with green stuff, and this one would require quite a bit - but I'd been itching to take a crack at this scene for a while now, so here I am! I'm willing to trade this drawing (made for the "fantasy" square of my @bobadinweek AU bingo card, because fae children count there, right?) for the other one made for this very same story on the technicality that Jaster actually very much lives in this one. Technically speaking. I tried my best!

Nowwwwww, I facetiously mentioned at the bottom of this post about the Halo: Reach achievement:
To do that, you have to go under or close to par time on pretty much each level ON LEGENDARY.
I have beaten Reach on Legendary but it probably took me closer to 30 hours than 3 because I did my slow, methodical strategies to get through. I did the par time achievement by running past everything I could on Easy. Can I combine the two successfully?
I decided to give the first level "Winter Contingency" a try (after watching some Youtube vids on getting this achievement, of course 😉). Par time is 15 minutes.
That was my third try, the first was 16 and some minutes, the second got it to 15 and some and then that one got under the par by 32 seconds! I should note that this is considered one of the easiest levels to do on Legendary and the guide I watched by the ever-awesome Halo Completionist did it under 12 minutes and you're going to need every spare second you can scrap together to give you a buffer for some of the long, difficult levels. But still!
It's silly, I know, but I feel so proud of me! I'm an old lady (well, middle-aged, if I'm being generous 😜) playing Halo with shaky hands but I made under par time on Legendary! 🥳🥳🥳
PS - Tried it again and got 13:55!

I need to reread the comics again to have specific arguments/evidence for this, but like
I feel a bit like I could've been sympathetic to the way other Cybertronian colonies view Cybertron, if it weren't for the fact that at least several of them (as in, ones that get notable dialogue/screen time) are so low-key self-righteous?
Like, idk... there's a lot of criticism of Cybertronians because they're so "warlike" and how their obsession with violence and vengeance is just dragging the whole galaxy down with them, but uh. The Autobot-Decepticon war was basically a product of societal ills bubbling over for like 6 million years beforehand and then finally boiling over into a 4 million year war that lasted as long as it did because the people involved had immense social/psychological trauma from being "raised" in an oppressive society.
So when the colonists come in being all 'omg you people are so violent and uncivilized why don't you just like, stop fighting' it kind of pissed me off a little bit as a reader/person like. Idk the colonists really came into this society of people full of massive amounts of trauma where even before the war society was super oppressive and no one has any experience of living "normal" lives unaffected by violence and bigotry. And the colonists were like "ummm wow why don't you guys just??? stop fighting???." Like idk it wasn't EVERY SINGLE MOMENT, in fact I think that when it was played for laughs it's quite a funny "fridge horror" type element. It was just annoying because like.... IDK???? It's just really annoying to watch a bunch of people who lived relatively sheltered lives on their own planets come to a different planet full of traumatized people and be like "omg why are you people so fucked up" IDK BRO MAYBE BECAUSE THEIR SOCIETY WAS OPPRESSIVE AND THEY LIVED THROUGH A LIFELONG WAR???
It also doesn't help that the colonies were literally founded based on imperialism and conquest so like, it's fucking rich to hear colonists scolding Cybertronians for their violence ruining the whole galaxy while literally sitting on planets that their Primes colonized from others. The hypocrisy of this is briefly mentioned in Unicron (literally the FINAL STORY OF THE SERIES) but like, that's basically the only time Cybertronian characters are given a reprieve of sympathy from other characters in universe and it's so tiresome.
I've talked to other people who didn't like the colonists and thought they basically (narratively speaking) existed just to shit on the existing characters, and it's actually really easy for me to sympathize with/outright agree with that assessment of the story considering how much of exRID/OP seems to be preoccupied with "Cybertron/the Primes/Optimus sucks" with very few reprieves for anything positive happening and even fewer chances for characters to get to explain themselves and experience a little bit of justice? Like, as the audience, it's just very frustrating to see the characters you spent hundreds of issues keeping up with get shit on by a bunch of "literally-who"s and then not really get a chance to ever defend themselves, either by literally defending themselves in conversation or having some sort of narrative thing happening that vindicates them at least symbolically

I slept on it and decided I'm going to actually rewrite these guys completely. May give Mel and Max new ghost themed names too but I'm still considering it. Will probably do Nox too but I don't think I'm gonna change him much lol
Anyways here's a sneak peek of their new designs. Subject to change

i'm sorry you're going through a tough time, and i'm sending all the positive thoughts your way 💖 also feel free to ignore the rest of it and focus on yourself, you deserve it!! but I'm watching the next episode of Sister Wives that's airing here and oh my gosh the pretzels Kody and Robyn twist themselves into trying to explain how Kody was never actually being unfair?? and Robyn's whole "I'm on a quest for truth because I don't understand!" ...how dense is she, exactly?? but yes, I just had to get that off my chest 😅 much love to you! 💖
Thank you so much 💕💕 I really appreciate that
And yea totally agree, in general I think the term narcissist is wildly overused but in Kody's case it just applies so well, because he can never be wrong, he constantly contradicts himself and is intentionally obtuse just to win arguments, he gaslights (and projects by accusing others of gaslighting him), like he just fits the bill so well.
And I go back and forth with Robyn, I do think she is very self centered but I also think Kody as a narcissist has manipulated her in a lot of ways. I think he treats her well and has convinced her that's exactly the treatment all the wives have gotten, and they're just out to get him and destroy their family bc they're petty and selfish yadda yadda and I think she buys that hook line and sinker. Bc she's so self interested she just looks around at her life and is like "this is fine, what could they possibly have a problem with??"
So when the topic of Christine leaving comes up she cries about not understanding and I don't totally think she's lying, even though Christine has made her reasons for leaving very clear, bc Kody has been over here telling her how great he's been to Christine and how she just can't fix her own issues w/ polygamy and is taking it out on him for no reason. And Kody is the one she lives with and is so dedicated to so of course she's going to take his word over someone who she sees as just jealous and irrational, and that's the POV she comes from when she whines about Not Getting It I think.
