Finally got around to watching Ep 12 of Bravern :]

[Spoiler Unfriendly Musings below the Cut]

My thoughts, in chronological order:

so Superbia is actually weak as hell, wow

Lulu failed, again, okay

Okay Isami's fucking LOST it.

[Title Card]

Okay, white flag time

Whoops, didn't work

I haven't said this yet but the new Deathdrive (Ira of Wrath?) is awful :(

I do find it darkly humourous that Isami has basically gone back to how he was before, albeit a lot more (understandably) wimpy.

Would love to know the deal with the green background place — it looks vaguely galaxy-like — and the implication from Cunus + Smith's death is that it represents either some kind of afterlife or a space between time. So ... how'd Isami get there? Or is this just him hallucinating now?

Ha! He said it! "I did make my 'brave' go 'bang'!"

Okay so Isami definitely isn't dead. Why is he able to speak to Lewis then — does this have to do with Isami crawling back inside the wreckage?

Gay love conquers all fr

Ooh! Isami finally realises the truth of what the Lewis-is-Bravern truthers have been saying all along! :D

Ooh! Golden Bravern variant!

I think it's cute that Isami's hair stayed messed up from the powering up sequence. (Also his pilot suit changed lol)

Really wish we understood why the Deathdrives are such deathseekers.

Ah, the 9th Deathdrive. Verum Vita.

(Wait so what happened to the one that was sucking the Earth dry? Or was that one implied to have died from Bravern changing the Earth)

(Ah yes, that one's dead too :} Vita's flashback confirms it)

I'll literally laugh if it just revives all of them.

Oh

Oh

It's genocidal.

But also that's really messed up. So I guess they are called 'Deathdrives' and Vita is the 'Deathdriver'.

So Bravern + Isami just speedrun Vita lmao

I genuinely don't know what the human military plans to do but I hope it works out

Oh! Superbia's back in business! And he's golden.

But this Lulu being this size seems to affirm some part of what I thought: our Lulu's growth was stunted but thanks to mutual fusing (or whatever you want to call it), she's now at an 'adult' size.

They are all so hopeful that to me this can only go awfully terribly wrong.

Combination²!

Anyone else find Vita's model very jarring? Not even in an uncanny sense but more of a "this character model looks a bit rougher"? Is that just me? Maybe it's because this chara model is almost entirely white and different variations thereof.

I have to wonder if it's intentional that Vita looks so ... phallic.

This animation is so ... yesssssssss

Bravern gritting his teeth!!!

Oops

Vita's dead. (?)

Okay, Bravern's dead.

Same with Superbia.

Expected but yeowuch.

But I assume Lewis is still alive. Gotta be able to remake the opening theme.

Smith's alive :]

They all seriously need some clothes, God bless

I like how this ended but this did not feel like s clean end to me, at the same time.

Still, enjoyed the 12-episode run!

Ironically enough, I don't think we answered a few questions. I will have to come back to this but off the top of my head:

1. What is Lulu? Why do all the Lulus look the same? Were those all failed attempts at going back in time, or were they each their own person? ‘Lulu’ seems to be the Deathdrive’s name for the species.

tired of nonbinary people being pressured to be thin hairless elf like pretty and always depicted as white afab skinny kids with blue hair, of course only using they/them. give me nonbinary people who are heavily fem/masc aligned!! give me nonbinary people who use neopronouns and xenogenders!! give me fat nonbinary people!! hairy nonbinary people!! nonbinary POC!! amab nonbinary people!! disabled nonbinary people!! nonbinary people who wear crazy clothes, or nonbinary people who don’t stand out and don’t feel the need to!! nonbinary people with names like Moss or Socks, or nonbinary people with “regular” names like Susan or James or something!! Give me every flavor of nonbinary people, and stop trying to make it into yet ANOTHER gender binary!! Nonbinary can be anything, not just a third gender to adhere to!!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but:

It is absolutely fine to use a label, only to realise it doesn't suit you anymore. Labels aren't there to bind you to them. They serve as a way to better describe how one feels and what ones lived experience can be like.

I had two pipelines of relabeling myself simultaneously.

From bi to lesbian, and back to bi.

From asexual to demisexual (because I thought, that one day, maybe I feel this kind of attraction, as sex-ambivalent and oscillating were terms I related with, and still do), and back to being asexual.

Does that make me less sapphic or a-spec? Absolutely not.

And to be honest: I still haven't figured out if I'm demiromantic or aromantic. And that is perfectly fine. We don't own anyone an explanation, but ourselves.

If the label felt good at that time, but doesn't anymore, let it go and take the one that feels more fitting. ♡ We are human beings. We are allowed to grow. You are valid, no matter which label you choose.

i think... whatever is coming its something bad .

Ok let me explain. we have to go back to 4 months ago, on luzu's stream (1:10:49) .Here is when we first started seeing the codes and we got some. pretty insane info right. (aswell as the dead eggs being somewhere in the code)

i would like to put some emphasis in the middle text: i'm trying to figure out how to create bridges between my world and yours

we thought this was the end of arin UNTIL. a month ago (26/08/23). What is the message?

“hello” “a door is opening” “they won’t be able to keep me”

it's not until a bit after he appears to tubbo, too (02/09/23)

"there is a hidden danger wat(ching us?)"

"there will be a sacr(ifice?)"

and then, the last message we ever got:

"i see them watching us" "be ready" "i have to escape"

now, a lot of this eventually got lost to time and well. we never really thought much of it. yet arin was warning all of us and we didn't listen

recently a lot of black concrete started appearing over the island in small bits. with roier, tubbo and slime's maze mission. with bagi and carre's arrival. whatever cucurevil fucking is. those are some examples:

and there was also one other thing around this time. arin's computers... just came back. with like. 8 of them. that coincidentally. juuuust coincidentally. well. made this shape

and what weird, black concrete structure suddenly appeared on the island. right above luzu's house. with a similar shape?

a code fucking watched them while it rained. the president got told there was something worse on the island other than the federation and the codes. hell, even the workers (like ron) know something worse is coming. exactly what arin warned us. whatever door was opening is pretty much opened .Now they've just got to be ready to fight against...whatever the fuck it is.

now. maybe this is not connected. but like. i think it matches up too well. A bit tooo well

Ever wondered what happened to the puppets stuck in the Wondrium Arena?

So did the Professor and his meat shield/bestie westie, Ryan. Instead of waiting for an answer, they planned to get the puppets out of there. They even argued with God over it, or rather the Professor did since Ryan was too mentally out-of-it from the absolute absurdity of this situation.

And what did God give to them in return for winning the argument? A bus. To drive to the Wondrium Arena with. ‘Cause what better way to rescue a bunch of dead puppets than crashing a bus into their purgatory?

— ☆ —

I'm happy to announce the release of my first AO3 fanfic: Seatbelts, Everyone!

As you can see from the blurb above, it's a one-shot crackfic about the Professor and Ryan rescuing the puppets in the Wondrium Arena by crashing a bus into it. 'Cause why not?!

This fic has it all! We got:

Ryan learning how to drive a bus via WikiHow!

God being the absolute worst!

Silly puppet interactions!

Existential crises occuring throughout the fic!

An honestly heart-warming ending?

Y'all the line between silly jesting and sincere genuineness is so blurry in this fic. So if that all sounds like a jam of a time, you can read the fic via clicking here! Or clicking the title. Or searching up "Seatbelts, Everyone!" by crispycreambacon on AO3.

Thank you so much for checking it out! And even if you don't, I hope you enjoyed the comic. May you all have a fantabulous day!

FOR THE LAST TIME, Narrator, our pronouns are THEY/THEM. NOT because we're non-binary, but because we are, in fact, SEVERAL BITCHES.

I have slowly been falling in love with the idea that the idea of being a 'parent' is a relatively young concept for Cybertronians.

[Rambling continues, slightly more organised, below the cut]

context

In my mind, Idyllic is set at a point within Cybertron’s history where ‘youngling’ is seen as a genuine lifestage — as opposed to it being seen as an ‘adult in smaller armour’.

It is also set at a point where new Cybertronians are made either via assembly, spark-bonding, a variation of the two, or a derivative of one or the other.

The Actuary of Cybertron, Vector Sigma, has long stopped producing new bodies (and sparks). The various hotspots/wells are depleted, and are unlikely to rejuvenate.

difference in responsibility

Cybertronians are pretty hardy. In the distant past, they raised themselves as soon as they came alive — then made on a set schedule by Vector Sigma to populate Cybertron.

After Vector Sigma came the hotspots. Cities formed around them — until the hotspots dried up. By this point, guardianships sprung up in the form of apprenticeships.

These apprenticeships essentially were “I’ll show you how to do this job so you can fend for yourself”. Over time, as public morals shifted, these apprenticeships morphed into mentorships.

Mentorships were ... a bit different. There was more responsibility involved, but the amount differed from mentor to mentor. Some were very involved, others were hands-off to the point where it was more of an apprenticeship and others still were at neither extreme.

But in any case, we can define the two — (1) apprenticeships and (2) mentorships based on the perceived amount of responsibility. Where (1) is less responsibility compared to (2).

In my head, I imagine there's a great body of caselaw surrounding this distinction, but alas ... the legal talk is not the focus of this ramble.

Point is: mentorship evolved into the familial relationships experienced in the time of Idyllic. It is worth noting that this is just a general overview; the change from apprenticeship → mentorship → parental caretakers happened differently depending on the locality and culture.

It is why, even though the adults in Idyllic are about the same age in Idyllic, they had vastly different experiences growing up.

Vosian fliers tend to have large communities — the shift was especially quick for them, and so Starscream grew up with three parental figures.

Elita and Optimus grew up in Tarn. As one of the more industrial city-states, apprenticeships were the norm for both of them.

Prowl, being from Praxus, which is culturally similar to Vos, was much the same as Starscream.

But I want to focus on Skyfire especially.

skyfire + his mentor

Skyfire emerged from a well that was thought to have been completely depleted, around the time when the general Cybertronian attitude shifted from apprenticeship → mentorship.

His mentor, Novarian, was already an older mech by this point. He himself was raised under an apprenticeship. Adding to the matter was the fact that Novarian's career meant he was very socially isolated — and him taking in Skyfire meant Skyfire, too, was isolated in this way.

(As an aside, if you remember the name ‘Novarion Helix’ ... you have known this account for a bit too long.)

When Skyfire was around Aphelion's age, he was already used to calling his mentor by his name (‘Novarion’ or simply ‘Mentor’) versus an affectionate title (‘Ardi’). Their relationship is decidedly not familial in the usual sense.

By the time Novarion was entrusted with Jetfire's care, the new attitude of “younglings need to be parented” still had not influenced him.

And to be honest, Skyfire did most of the emotional aspects of raising his brother — adult!Skyfire remained resentful over it for ... quite a while.

I do think the little trio (Skyfire, Jetfire and Novarian) have patched things up. But I do also think certain habits die hard.

One thing I have been thinking about is how Allan is happy in Barbieland. He's just Allan so he doesn't feel like the Kens that didn't feel they have a purpose but since Barbies being in charge didn't hurt him (contrary to Kens being in charge) he just lived his best life. A little alone? Maybe but happy, at the end of the movie when Kens have the realization that they're "kenough" , Allan already was celebrating with the Barbies because he had his own identity all this time, and contrary to the Barbies that were brainwashed since it was a new concept he already felt pushed aside by Kens since he isn't actually one of them. I found him so interesting because no he isn't "on the Barbie side" since he just wanted to run away with Gloria, he's in the side of a society that allows him to be him and didn't hurt him (Kens made him a maid, he needed to work to make them happy, etc) so when he needed to choose he didn't stay neutral, he fought along the side that make sense to him.

‘Danmei is mlm fantasy written by and for straight women’ is a lie. It’s written for transmascs and lesbians obviously.

#for real tho most danmei fans I’ve come across seem to fall into one of these categories #straight women are a rarity #or maybe they just huddle in their own little circles while we queers live it up in ours #also I could’ve expanded the joke to include mlm trans men and non binary ppl and trans men who don’t realize they’re men yet #I also know of some cis mlms who enjoy the genre #but the wordier a joke is the less funny it is I find #also it’s worth noting that we don’t actually know the personal identities of most danmei authors #so assuming that they’re all straight seems like a pretty big stretch to me #danmei #mxtx #tgcf #mdzs #svsss #2ha #Oliver rambles

When I say I use any pronouns, that doesn't mean just use they/them. That's not what I want. I like they/them, but I also like he/him, and she/her. Use neopronouns! Xey/xem, ze/zir, xe/xer. When I say any, I mean any. Any and ALL!!
