also extremely interesting that battler is the only person in this room maintaining even a shred of that empathetic courtesy. the most self-styled Detective character being the only one to hold onto Romantic virtues

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

screaming crying coughing up blood every time i have to fucking defend genocide joe bc ppl wanna lie and say he isn't responsible for most of the best domestic policy we've seen in decades
his foreign policy is dogshit, yes, and he should rightly be called on it and primaried out, but we can criticize the shit he's actually done wrong instead of making shit up about him ~not doing anything good~

I think it was the shorts that caused Dick and Jay to grow out of Robin. They should steal Tim's suits and make him wear the og outfit like "do you really want to run around in this as an *adult*?"
You are a fool if you think that would work considering dressing up like Dick Robin is probably already one of tims favourite pass times like he may act like he doesn't like the old costume but you know on the inside he's so giddy getting to wear the exact same costume as Dick did

so me and Sam FINALLY watched the last season of Capaldi's Who
and tell me how, after literally over a decade and for perhaps the first time in his fucking career, Steven Moffat wrote a not just tolerable but really actually good two-parter and fully stuck the landing. like the editing and pacing were still a bit off but the storyline was original, fun, interesting and emotionally invested, and most importantly, rather than ending on a damp fart or the most furious autofellatio in history, the final part didn't fumble it and ended in a way that felt emotionally satisfying and like it made sense for the characters. like the last time he successfully wrapped up a multiparter in a way that didn't feel cheap and hollowly disappointing to me was literally The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, and a) that was in 2005 and b) tbh The Doctor Dances is about a tenth as compelling and memorable as The Empty Child.
so after 12 years of either hackery or great ideas that fall apart in the second act, Steven Moffat writes what I would genuinely consider to be a memorable Good Doctor Who serial. it ends with bittersweet pathos, a solid closer for all the main characters, and sends Moffat's showrunning career out on a genuine high despite failing ratings and budget cuts (and the fact Doctor Who hasn't been consistently good since about 2009). good job Steve. with grudging respect I admit you pulled it out of the bag on this one.
wait what's this there's one more episode left? and it stars Mark Gatiss? and you literally spend the whole episode inexplicably just shitting all over the legacy of Doctor Who by inventing a version of the First Doctor that bears literally no resemblance to the character that William Hartnell actually played, just so you can spend the whole episode saying misogynistic things to run yourself off to how much more Totally Feminist your version was than the version you made up in your head of what Doctor Who was like in the 60s? and it added literally nothing to the season except to take all the wind out of the sails of the actually good finale you already wrote?
even when he writes a good episode this fucker still finds ways to disappoint me.

doublebattleshipping but PLA
I have been consumed by the brainrot that is doublebattleshipping and PLA AUs that I make at night with my other crackhead ideas. Okay so like after Ingo gets Hisu'ed, Emmet gets a therapy/emotional support Walking wake because fuck yes thank you @bottle-of-harpoons for this Crack head of an idea, because I love me some good mental health (He was in Paldea for Teracrystallisation not because of time travel Boogaloo dang it. Also to see if Emmet can make battle strategy with it or ban it from the subway because it's to big SAFEY FIRST) Most of the paradox forms are ban from the subway because too big or will fuck up the train in battle. A year pass and Evelyn and Emmet start dating in secret from the media because the media always ruins a good relationship. They marry. ( Ingo now has been gone for 4 years they been dating for 2) the media catches on, they have twins named Rei and Akari ( it was suppose to be Akira it means Ideal but Emmet was verry tired and it was Akari but it could mean like the lights in gearstation or as in "up" because one of Rei's meaning is "return, resume, go backwards" :) I'm so funny. The reason why Akari looks like Dawn is because she is her Idol much to Iris disappointment. Rei is just a coincidence. Either way Dawn is in Hisui just doing Galaxy team thing and oh look two children fall from the sky, they both look like Survey corps members Rei and Akari (dawn and Lucas) but they also look a bit like Warden Ingo? Dawn takes them to Jubilife village because what kind of sicko leaves two kids that are like 5 or 6 in the wilds. Ingo is there at Jubilife this time when Dawn kicks down the doors ( not really) going " Holy Helix! Ingo I found kids!" Lucas looks at the kids then to warden Ingo then to the two unconscious kids in Dawn's arms. " Ingo did you spawn kids?" Ingo give a face of confusion. Akari awakens and says it very bluntly that her father would be proud, " I am Akari what the heck am I." Ingo's fragments of memories are screaming because she acts like Emmet. Rei wakes up and the first thing he does is cry, because he is in a strange place that guy looks like his dad and he just got kidnapped by some look a likes. Akari bites Dawn and Dawn yelps and drops them both, the siblings run Ingo, Dawn, and Lucas chase after them they are on the pokemon battle field, Akari pulls out her Pokeball which Rei does too, Lucas is so confused right now. Dawn is hesitant about fighting two little children. Akari screams "Fight me coward!" She smells the her hesitation. " I am Akari. And this is my little brother Rei, I like to win more than anything else!" " I am Rei, w-will your tracks line up towards v-victory or will you be crushed in defeat." Both children yelled, " ALL ABOARD!" Akari sends out a strange Zorua, and Rei sends out Axew. Ingo is getting flashs, Akari sends out her Decidueye, Rei sends out Pikachu. " Zorua use sludge bomb on the bird!" " Pikachu use Iron tail." " Axew make sure it doesn't hit you!" " It has sludge bomb!!?'
_____________________________________
(Akari and Rei lost their pokemon are Level sixteen to 20 they couldn't beat 62 level pokemon. Not even with enough plot armor)
" I am Akari, I lost." She mumbled. " F-fair play," her brother said, " You were very strong trainers." Ingo was having flashbacks where have he heard scripts, (scripts?) Similar to those children.
Meanwhile: Emmet
When his kids went missing, and team Neo Plasma was trying to gain power, his first instinct was to destroy them, which he did, Rosa live streamed it. Then future Volo tries to convince Emmet to his side saying I know where his kids are at, which lead to Evelyn and Emmet beating the living crap out of him. I mean Volo it sounds like you kidnapped them or work with the person who kidnapped them. And then Arceus because he needs to get to Hisui to protect his kids. And now they in Hisui. Emmet has Chandelure out to track their soul energy, and Evelyn grabs him to check the sky for higher ground with her Latios, remember Latios pokedex says it can go to Mach 4 so it's really fast so imagine your Sabi, you are flying with Lord Braviary and your vision says hey something fast and blue is going to pass you and you turn and a streak of blue flys by and then you see in your vision that was a Ingo in white and a women in blue. Wait what.
They end up in Jubilife village, so people panic because Emmet wears white and red, you know who else is white and red, Hisuian Zoroark. Akari and Rei sees them, and scream, " Mama! Papa!" While running to them. " Rei! Akari!" They hug, family reunion. (Looks at Ingo)
" Kids" Evelyn said.
" Yes mom?" Both their children replied.
" Your grounded."
" Whyyyyyyy?" Akari
" You uncoupled your trains from ours." Their father said.
" Emmet?"
Emmet turns around to only stare at his missing brother, and is that the Chamion of Sinnoh??
"Ingo?!"
"Your married???"
"You look like you got ran over by a train?"
Cue akward family reunion Between brothers.

I recently found out people ship Cassandra with Apollo.
My initial reaction was...
Just tan their hides. You know what happened to her because the the bastard, don't you?..
Then, I was overwhelmed by morbid curiosity, and checked AO3. People are writing rape fics about them. ...Why?..
Could I ever see Cassandra x Apollo?.. I don't know, maybe. But, definitely not the nonsense I mentioned. Dubcon at most. I guess, he might somehow coerce her into sleeping with him, and later rescue her from the fall of Troy, because she's pregnant with his child, or something (Zeus would be pissed, I'm fine with that).
Sounds like an intriguing story, with a lot of morally questionable elements. I can imagine Apollo confiding in Artemis, wondering why his wife is so upset. She'd just go "are you serious rn?.. -_-".
...What, you're surprised I'm among those I wish to hide with a broom? Don't be. It happens quite often, actually.

Did that fav pkmn thing on a whim and I'm sorry for all my babies I didn't choose bc I really like too many by some.
Love how it's mostly pretty ones and then there's clodsire. Even tho I got it in my team since the beginning of violet do I continuously forget its name bc I just call it by the nickname blobby (one of the rare times I didn't spend hours googling the perfect nickname but it nonetheless is a perfect one)
And for fun without any legendaries as fav
Reg nicknames I even write all down so I only spend decades once for each pkmn (unless I don't like the prev one anymore). Need to update that someday since it's mostly old revolution ones but hey. Blaze do I use for arcanine nowadays more and ninetails got others. Gardevoir got soteria nowadays which I prefer more. Etc.

“on a scale of one to ten, how do you feel about nachos right now?” - Hyun @ her bestie Aeri~ >:3
@mythvoiced / more random dialogue prompts.
THE PROBLEM WITH BEING WELL-TRAVELED is that once you’ve had the real thing, anything less will not compare. Such is the case here with nachos. Seoul’s never exactly been a hub for cultural exchange and as such, the nachos that the food apps could give them will not be authentic. Or delicious. Unless they’re Korean-flavored, but the thought of nachos makes Aeri crave flavors more…western. Like the ones she ate in New York City- a weekend trip of sorts. It had been one of the few weekends she wasn’t booked back when she was juggling modeling with business studies.
Not that Aeri thinks Hyun would know the difference. Oh yes, make no mistake, they both might come from chaebol money, but that doesn’t translate to the world being both of their oysters. Shitty parents come in all shapes and sizes anyways.
Her stomach growls though, the hunger undeniable now. Dieting is not so much of a priority for old-timers like them and as Hyun’s best friend, it’s Aeri’s responsibility to introduce them to the wonders of actual good non-Asian cuisine.
“Depends where you’re thinking of going. If we’re going to have nachos, I want the actual thing.” She pulls out her phone, typing in a number. “Let me call my personal chef- he can have something ready for us within the hour.” She puts the phone to her ear, sharp eyes turning over to Hyun. “You want anything else? I can have him make it while he’s at it.”

Random thing I keep hearing (and honestly I agree): sharks are better than dolphins
May I ask what are your thoughts about it, if u don't mind?
ALRIGHT, full disclosure most of my knowledge about sharks and dolphins alike have been lost to memory issues, BUT. I can explain my personal thing.
Dolphins. Are. Menaces.
Sharks are chill :3
Uhhhh, is basically what it comes down to. And don't get me wrong, I love dolphins! I love a lot of menaces to the animal world (look at honey badgers). But sharks get such a bad rap in comparison. Which, I know is me repeating old news at this point.
I would go on a rant about this but uh, aforementioned memory issues. So instead, I'm going to rant about why I love sharks.
SHARKS! MY CARTILAGE CONTAINER OF A FISH!
First off, they don't have bones. Which isn't terribly relevant but I think it's neat :3
Sharks have always held a special (albeit terrifying) place in my heart because my Papa had a picture of a Hammerhead swimming with fish as his lock screen. And me, being 4, saw this as reason enough to develop a liking toward them. Plus, I thought the Hammerheads looked SUPER COOL (and I was right for the record).
I was a pretty nature-obsessed kid and for a while I was homeschooled (like, less than a year), and so I'd watch Nature Documentaries for science (pain to my 6-year-old ADHD brain, but whatever). I discovered Whale Sharks were a thing (amazing, wonderful, joys to the Earth) and how they ate krill and plankton and watched the swimmers swim with them and touch them and 6-year-old me fell in love.
Fast forward a few years and I see one of those National Geographic books about sharks. I go "oo, okay", read it, and trigger a new hyperfixation for myself where I dodged every picture of sharks (excluding Whale Sharks) because their eyes still creeped me out.
I unfortunately don't have most of the knowledge I did then, but I remember specifically thinking Mako, Nursery, and Tiger Sharks were the coolest things ever. (Also discovering baby sharks ate each other in the womb, which was fucking awesome to 2ndish Grade me). And thinking Tiger Sharks eating anything was really cool.
By the way, Whale Sharks are amazing and probably was one of my favorite sharks at one point. In - in case I haven't clarified that.
I've as of today rediscovered Thrasher Sharks are a thing, which stun a few fish then go in and gobble them up instead of the feeding frenzy approach. It's also really interesting to me how some sharks can't stop moving.
I remember loving Nursery Sharks, but I don't remember why. I think they were ones I wanted to go see in real life, but again, memory go brr. Anyway, as of right now my favorites are Makos because they go speed.
