Album & EP Recommendations

Freakout / Release by Hot Chip

They may be nearly 30 years and 8 albums in at this point, but electro-pop legends Hot Chip are still yet to deliver a bad record. Reuniting with one another following lockdown, the London-based dance machine unleashed all their pent-up energy into this new wild collection of synth-soaked tracks found on Freakout / Release.

The record starts strong, with the album’s three excellent teaser tracks greeting listeners to their liberated new energy. Opener Down features an addictive groove reminiscent of their early classic Over & Over, but with some added soul-influence provided by a brilliant sample of Universal Togetherness Band’s More Than Enough. Second single Eleanor then features a typically playful melody, catchy chorus and some trancey dance synths, but with dark lyrics at the heart about suffering through unimaginable pain. The title track is then instantly one of the best Hot Chip tracks of recent years, boasting some distorted robotic vocals reminiscent of their own track Huarache Lights, whilst frontman Alexis Taylor sings “Music used to be an escape, now I can’t escape it.” Before long, the track breakouts into a barrage of reverbing rock guitars and hard synths, helping the song to truly live up to its name.

Outside of the three singles there’s plenty more to enjoy here though. Hard To Be Funky is the album’s smoothest number whilst The Evil That Men Do is arguably the band’s most overtly political song to date, also featuring a killer cameo from Canadian rapper Cadence Weapon.

However, the album really shines when Hot Chip show their vulnerable side. Broken is a heartfelt song about sheer desperation, which is brightened up by the song’s hopeful, pop-tinged melody. Not Alone is then instantly one of the most beautiful tracks the band have ever written - a song about new musical collaborations that also doubles-up as a shimmering love song, elevated by chime-like electronics and the gorgeous, contrasting vocal styles of Joe Goddard and Alexis Taylor.

Eight albums in and Hot Chip continue to sound not only as fresh and vibrant as ever, but also deliver some of their very best work too. Whilst overall it may not be their absolute best album yet, it’s still a solid outing from a legendary act that continue to do no wrong.

Stellar Drifting by George Fitzgerald

I feel like I say this most weeks, but incredible electronic records have really been in abundance this year. With the likes of Bonobo, Lane 8, Kavinsky, Moderat, HAAi and Mall Grab all delivering great records this year to name just a few, it already feels like a hallmark year for synth-soaked, mind-bending sonic whirlpools. Now you have another to add to that pile and that is the latest outing from Mr George Fitzgerald.

Titled Stellar Drifting, this third album from George began life with him using pictures of stars and galaxies and turning them into audio wavelengths. From there he would build the sounds out, until they eventually became the 10 tracks on Stellar Drifting. Cosmonaut Alley takes the listener on a journey across Jupiter whilst The Last Transmission imagines a spaceman’s final message to Earth. Therapeutic and uplifting, this collection of ambient tracks will charm, soothe and relax in equal measure. Amidst all the celestial wonder, there’s some great collaborations to be found too with George teaming up with the likes of Panda Bear (Passed Tense), SOAK (Rainbows and Dreams), Ellie Goulding (Cold) and London Grammar (The Last Transmission).

As a huge fan of George’s last album All That Must Be, which even finished in my Top 20 Albums of the Year for 2018, I’m pleased that this latest effort is as equally spellbinding. Magically constructed from cosmic patterns, it’s an interstellar trip that you’ll want to take again and again.

Sing With Abandon by VLMV

If you are partial to the soaring post-rock instrumentals from the likes of Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, then do not sleep on this latest album from London-based ambient rock outfit VLMV.

Boasting haunting, beautifully atmospheric, string-drenched soundscapes, it makes for a constantly enchanting and spine-tingling listen. With the album almost a 50/50 split between complete instrumentals and some vocal-led pieces, the moments when the soft ethereal harmonies come in really take the record to another level. On tracks like There Are Mountains Underneath Us, For Empire and The Navigator, it adds just another dimension to the melancholic beauty that seeps out of every pore of this record.

At just 35 minutes long, there’s no reason to not set half an hour aside to just bask in the glorious ambient splendour of Sing With Abandon. This is an album that has had a huge impact on me in a short space of time and I can already see it sneaking into my Top 50 Albums of the Year as wintertime arrives and the weather inevitably has me yearning to return to this album’s dark majesty. Can’t recommend this enough!

Moondust for My Diamond (Every Piece of Dust Edition) by Hayden Thorpe

Originally released last year, Hayden Thorpe’s second solo outing Moondust For My Diamond went on to become one of my Top 5 albums of 2021. Upbeat and free-flowing with richly intricate and multi-layered synth-driven instrumentation, it’s littered with radiant melodies that provide the perfect backdrop for Hayden’s philosophical musings, inspired by long walks in his homeland of the Cumbrian Lake District. If you’ve yet to hear it, there is no better time as he recently released a new Deluxe Version – the Every Piece of Dust Edition.

Featuring the original album along with several remixes and four brand new tracks, the highlights of this new version include the haunting atmospherics of In the Drift, the extra hypnotic and trippy Nakhane remix of Parallel Kingdom and, of course, recent single Polygod. The latter remains one of his best songs to date, with Hayden repeating the instantly catchy refrain of “Set me on fire” against some glistening instrumentation. About midway through the track really comes alive, with some piercing, 80s-style distorted guitars bringing some additional funky flavour to the track.

Pre Pleasure by Julia Jacklin

““I care so much about the people around me,” reveals Jacklin in an album press release, “so much it makes me want to sleep forever, it feels so overwhelming”. This care and vulnerability pours out through the ten tracks on PRE PLEASURE. This really is a gorgeous collection of songs that are deeply personal and crafted so eloquently. It’s a beautifully contemplative listen from an authentic and big-hearted songwriter.”

Tracks of the (Last Few!) Week(s)

There’d Better Be A Mirrorball by Arctic Monkeys

The big single release of the last few weeks was of course the much-anticipated return of Sheffield’s finest. Not too much is known at this stage which direction the Monkeys will take with their new record, however a recent interview with drummer Matt Helders did seem to suggest they would continue down the same path as their last album, the much-debated Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.

This first teaser certainly backs up that theory, as There’d Better Be A Mirrorball has the same lounge feel and aesthetic, but with added grandiose strings and noticeably more sincerity. Set to be the opener for forthcoming album The Car, it doesn’t give too much away but already feels like a step up from their previous outing. As someone who really wasn’t a fan of their last album, this one has got me (somewhat surprisingly) quite intrigued.

Listen here

Weird Goodbyes by The National featuring Bon Iver

You only have to see the words “The National featuring Bon Iver” to know this is excellent. A stirring composition thanks to a gentle piano line, some moody electronics and a touch of strings, the track becomes particularly goosebump-inducing when those gorgeous vocal harmonies between Justin Vernon and Matt Berninger finally come together. Utterly stunning.

Listen here

Little Blue by Swim Deep

Everything Brummie indie darlings Swim Deep seem to touch just radiates sunshine and latest single Little Blue is no different. With some distorted pop synths, a playful drum beat and an instantly catchy chorus of “We’re going to make it here”, it’s stylistically different to their previous output but no less optimistically blissful.

Listen here

Kid Gloves by Low Island

Oxford electro-pop outfit continue the build towards their second album Life In Miniature with this incredible second single. Bouncing along with a shimmering synth-driven melody, heartfelt lyrics and some wonderful gospel-like vocals, every song these guys release these days seems to be better than what preceded it – keep them coming!

Listen here

Only You Say It by Lonely The Brave

Their first new music since last year’s third album The Hope List, Cambridge rockers Lonely The Brave have recently served up another powerful, hard-hitting anthem just in time for their upcoming UK tour. If they’re playing near you and there’s still tickets, I highly recommend popping along as these guys will completely blow you away.

Listen here

Merging Into You / European Son by Maxïmo Park

With their Singular tour celebrating their biggest and greatest hits just on the horizon, legendary Geordie indie outfit Maxïmo Park have served up a new double A side for fans to enjoy. Merging Into You is a horn-backed slice of their vintage sound which continues their renaissance following last year’s Nature Always Wins. On the flip side, European Son is a politically charged, 80s-tinged number, that sounds almost like The Smiths meets Human League. Both great!

Listen here

ATK by Bonobo

Fresh off his excellent Fragments album released earlier this year and some outstanding festival performances over the summer, Simon Green has returned with more music in the form of new single ATK. With a colourful blend of tropical sounds and a wonderful celebratory feel, it’s a typically mesmerising and joyous cut from the electronic maestro.

Listen here

Prettier by Bexx

Rising star Bexx has already delivered great singles like Hard To Love and One More Night that showcase her exceptional talent for writing glossy, retro-inspired pop tunes. Now with recent release Prettier, she shows off her more aggressive, grittier side with a heavy rock banger that takes fierce aim at people who body shame. There’s also a fun horror movie inspired music video that you can watch below.

Watch the Prettier video here

Shout by Placebo

There are few bands that do a better cover than Placebo – see their takes on Bigmouth Strikes Again and, most famously, Running Up That Hill as just two prime examples. Now adding a new one to their collection, they’ve recently delivered a particularly faithful cover of the Tears For Fears classic, distinguished only by Brian Molko’s sublime, distinct vocals.

Listen here

You Get What You Give (Apple Music Home Session) by Jamie T

And I leave you this week with another cover, this time Jamie T covering the New Radicalz classic You Get What You Give. Just Jamie on his own with a piano and an electric guitar, it’s a unique, stripped-back and worthwhile take on the 90s one hit wonder.

I hate pregnancy but ur pregnant reader fics omgaaah have you written this yet? Reader&gojo Smooch smooch 👉👌 to induce labor 🤯

sgji please this has me giggling and I have not yet, with Satoru anyway until now! also, please note that this is not realistic in any way lmao about ten to fifteen percent of women's water breaks naturally, and usually, not like this nor does labor or anything like that happen so fast really! tis all for fanfic purposes!!

tags: 18+ only content - mdni + pregnant! fem reader + explicit smut + going into labor + parental freakout

You walked around the house with your hand under your belly feeling your daughter kick wildly, just as much as you wanted her out she wanted to stay inside warm and cozy no matter what you tried to do.

She was stubborn just like her father is.

It also seemed that she was giving you a sweet tooth to the point that anything new Satoru brought home you ended up snatching it from his spot when he wasn't looking only to see him pout like a child.

However, you were glad he was stubborn when it came to him helping you go into labor. He bought the best ball for you to bounce on, only making sure you went to the world's best doctors and he ordered a slew of spicy things in order to help move things along.

Even during a regular movie night, you had him twist and pinch your nipples, the stimulation was supposed to help to put you into labor until your husband suggested something else to move things along.

"'Toru!" You cried out brokenly, your fingers gripped the pillow that lay under your head while he lay behind you making sure your leg was hooked over his arm as he thrust into you slowly over and over again.

Everything felt much more sensitive with all the blood rushing to your cunt that leaked around him as you tried your best to push back against him wanting to feel him fully, he was scared that it'd hurt.

You turned your head to look at him with glassy eyes, red and pricked with tears as you pouted, your bottom lip quivering. "More! I need more!" You told him in half a whine and growl moaning his name.

Satoru obliged and lifted your leg up higher. "I don't want to hurt either of my babies, tell me if it's painful." He husked against your mouth when he leaned in for a soft kiss that made you melt for him.

His tongue slid and stroked against yours in an erotic dance as he fucked into you deeper until he bottomed out feeling your back bow as you arched into him more, your jaw going slack with pleasure.

His free hand roamed over your belly and then to your breasts pinching and twisting your nipples as he littered your shoulders with open-mouthed kisses that added to the cloud of bliss he put you on.

"Cum please for fucks sake make me cum!" You told him reaching down to circle your clit as you tried your best to buck up against him seeking more of what he could offer. Satoru chuckled at hearing you.

He hurried his pace going deeper with his strokes feeling your pussy squeeze him tight and wet he swore you were going to rip his dick right off. "You're squeezin' me so tight sweetheart, cum for me."

You could feel him throb and twitch before releasing thick ropes of cum that pushed you into your own orgasm making you squeal loud and long feeling a strong sensation flow through you as your muscles contracted as you threw your head back into Satoru's shoulder.

Satoru slowed his pace down fucking his cum deeper into you only to feel a rush of warmth gush between your legs causing him to pull out slowly and gently, his eyes wide and wild. "Was that your water that broke?" He asked sitting up as he looked between your legs.

When you rolled to your back he could see more of the clear fluid as you nodded gripping the blanket for a different reason, your contractions coming in strong and fast making you gasp and grunt.

"Looks like we're going to be meeting our baby girl soon." He muttered still staring down between your legs. All the information he took in from the internet couldn't prepare him for the real deal however as he felt the touch of a parent's first anxious moment.

#💌incoming #tw: pregnancy #idk how i feel about this one lmaoo #but if I kept trying to change it then this would've sat in my inbox forever kdjfb #jjk smut #jjk x reader smut #jujutsu kaisen smut #satoru smut #jjk x reader #gojo smut #gojo satoru #gojo x reader #gojo x you #satoru gojo smut #gojo x reader smut #satoru gojo x you

More Than Meets the Eye #52 — The DJD Once Again Prove to Be an HR Nightmare

Ratchet and Drift, looking fresh as hell in their matching paint jobs, stand on the cliff they made their cool entrance on last issue, as they snipe at each other over whether or not Drift personally knows the DJD. Considering how Tarn and Friends had a space-cocaine induced freakout over seeing Drift on the quantum duplicate Lost Light, they may want to talk a little quieter, especially with the face Helex is making.

You better watch out, Ratchet— this man's going to do Sakamoto-got-all-the-way-to-pencils shit to you!

The Pet takes the opportunity presented by our recently returned newlyweds being too busy flirting to pay attention to the fight at hand, leaping to chew on Ratchet's head. Luckily, Ten is an ally, even when he’s been beat to shit, and punches the shitty little Pomeranian into the air. Kaon, card-carrying freak and dog dad, takes this abject display of animal abuse about as well as he can.

Ratchet, having his gun eaten by the mouth pervert, is beginning to worry that he, his rich boytoy, and a mostly out of commission Ten might be sliiiiiiiiightly outnumbered against a dozen Decepticons, two of whom belong to the Super Murder Death Squad. Drift, after a bit of needling, heelies a dude’s face off, jumps into the air, does a bunch of sick flips, blocks a laser with a sword in such a way that it looks like he got shot in the dick, and then lands, like, 70 feet away to scoop up the Pet and threaten to chop its head off if Helex doesn’t stop trying to vore his boyfriend.

Kaon, #1 dog dad, orders everyone to fall back. Helex, who has Ratchet like 70% inside his smelting chamber by this point, can’t believe that Kaon’s ruining the fun. Helex releases Ratchet, letting him crowd onto Drama Point with Drift and most of Ten, as the Decepticons circle them. Drift, unfortunately, didn’t think past doing sweet flips to show off after his sabbatical from the comic run, and they’re back in the same situation they arrived to, but now one of them is holding a crusty little dog.

Then a platform descends from the sky, and we see what Ravage has been up to.

Grand theft auto!

Yes, it turns out that this cat can drive, and well enough to get the boys up and out of danger, though Ten’s size means that the lovebirds have to dangle off of his remaining arm. Drift still hasn’t put down the Pet. Sure hope that thing’s been socialized to cats.

Oh, who am I kidding? Kaon wouldn’t have bothered.

Speaking of Kaon, he looks like he’s about to cry, because someone’s kidnapped his princess baby angel, and Helex doesn’t even CARE, the heartless bastard, as he orders the other Decepticons to fire on the shuttle. They, of course, hit it, as there’s at least ten of these guys firing, and they’re all decently tall. The shuttle begins to lose altitude, and Ravage, who does not have traditional hands and is currently using his tail to man the control stick, attempts to crash as close to the “fortress” as possible.

Meanwhile, over at Megatron’s plinth, we get back to that whole thing where he surrendered himself to Tarn. Tarn, feeling an excuse to monologue coming on, says that he’s well aware of Megatron’s new schtick, and he’s not a huge fan of it. Megatron clarifies that he wishes to give himself up so that the rest of the Lost Light crew stranded on this planet might live, because this is his fault to begin with. Tarn agrees, reminding him that he paid for Tarn’s plastic surgery. Megatron states that he only brought Tarn to his side to hurt “someone”.

Three guesses who Megatron could have possibly hurting by bringing Tarn over to the Decepticons, and the first two don’t count.

Megatron thinks that by bumming around space on a borderline vacation, he’s returned to who he used to be (maybe he got his teaching license, who knows) and that the war was a waste of time. Tarn gets kind of intense here, because if Megatron wasted his life, what does that make Tarn? Tarn, who has decorated his home with nothing but Decepticon symbols? Tarn, who has had corpses nailed to his wall for the last couple million years? Tarn, who wears a fuckoff stupid mask every single day of his life, even while eating and trying to kill himself with space meth cut with time travel and gas station dick pills? Also, what about all the other guys who died trying to realize Megatron's ideals? What about the little guys, the cogs that made the machine run? What about Steve from accounting, whose husband left him, because he was too busy trying to balance the budget on Megatron's body remodels and Optimus Prime punching bags that also doubled as body pillows to come home? What about Steve, huh?

Megatron basically regrets everything he’s ever done, not that Tarn cares. Megatron then reveals that whole thing where Rewind tried to retroactively kill him as an infant, and how he sort of wished it had worked.

Tarn starts beating the shit out of Megatron before the guy can start going on about how his parents are Brainstorm and Whirl, though Tarn promises that this is just a healthy dose of tough love, as surely the wimp before him isn’t actually who Megatron is. Megatron doesn’t fight back, instead just staring sadly at the Autobot badge Tarn slapped off of him. This is really starting to piss Tarn off, as he was really hoping to beat some of the fire back into his former mentor and idol. This is when he starts trying to choke Megatron, even though their species doesn’t breathe. Still, I’m sure Tarn’s stiletto nails hurt something fierce.

Megatron then recalls his conversation with Velocity, and states that if the fool’s energon DID alter his personality, it was probably for the best, and he wouldn’t want to go back. Tarn, who has based his entire selfhood on the thing that Megatron threw away to live out his probation on a cruise ship, takes this statement with all the tact and level-headedness we’ve come to know him for.

Tarn is just one more double fusion cannon blast to the chest away from smiting Megatron utterly, and he’s fully committed to doing so. However, he gets distracted by the sound of Elton John’s “The Bitch is Back” coming from across the field.

WHO LET THIS MOTHERFUCKER OUT OF HELL

Anyway, it looks like Ravage can, in fact, drive pretty well, as the shuttle did crash pretty close to the “fortress”. Swerve, who still really wants to make up for his shitty boss behaviors and also accidentally dragging Ten into a microcosm of hell, lets Ten know that they saw his floor graffiti, and that it might actually work. Magnus, who still has his arm off, does his best to not kick Swerve across the room as he scurries underfoot, as he drags Ten inside the building.

Skids intercepts Ratchet to welcome him back, and also ask how the hell he knew to come to Necroworld. Apparently he and Drift had received a call from the handy dandy phone that he had given First Aid, who First Aid had then regifted to Velocity, just in case some bullshit happened. Velocity’s introduction to Ratchet is rough, as she manages to call him grumpy, old, and stubborn as a mule in the span of about fifteen seconds. Ratchet is mostly concerned with the fact that the Lost Light replaced him so soon after his return. Nobody tell him about Velocity’s track record with the medical exams, he might just shoot off into space to beat First Aid to a pulp for leaving her by herself.

Over in what might be a closet, Rodimus runs across Drift sitting in the dark and sharpening one of his swords. Drift seems to have used his exile to remember that he does, in fact, have some semblance of self-respect, as he doesn’t immediately forgive Rodimus for throwing him off the ship that he paid for, only to have given himself up as the real culprit behind the Overlordening, like, a week later, thus negating Drift’s sacrifice, and then never coming to find him, despite the fact that they’re supposedly friends, and, again, the ship is in Drift’s name, as was the crew’s allowance money. How the Lost Light has survived financially without Drift is unknown.

Rodimus knows that he sucks and is the worst, but he was really worried that Drift wouldn’t like him anymore, so he’d sort of been kicking the issue of “finding my ex-TIC to tell him he got publicly humiliated for nothing” down the road, to the point where Ratchet had gotten sick of it and went to solve the problem himself.

Of course, the meta reason for Drift not being found was so that Shane McCarthy could have his OC back, as well as Ratchet, for the miniseries Transformers: Drift— Empire of Stone, well known for being sort of silly and introducing the phrase “be shoosh” to Drift’s lexicon. In it, Ratchet found Drift traipsing around the edge of the galaxy being a neutral (in terms of war) hero to organic species affected by Decepticon aggressions, before crashing on a planet where Drift, back when he was “Deadlock”, had found a mystical stone army, one that Gigatron (a dude who totally isn’t anime Megatron) wanted to harness the power of, so that the Decepticons might claim victory over their enemies. Hellbat, Gigatron’s second in command, had gone mad doing nothing but killing over millions of years, and had been modifying the stone army in secret to do his bidding so he could "kill everything". Then the stone army woke up, Hellbat died, Gigatron died, and Ratchet went to take Drift to get detailed, because he looked like he'd been ridden hard and put away wet.

Also, if you think about it, having two former high-ranking Decepticons turning to the Autobot side being on the Lost Light’s high command might have been too many redundancies to make Megatron’s arc stand out. Perhaps, had Megatron not been added to MTMTE’s roster so late in the game, Rodimus WOULD have gone looking for Drift, finding him just in time for the DJD to catch wind that they hadn’t actually super nightmare death murdered Deadlock after all.

Drift, who can’t say no to Rodimus's puppydog face, lets Rodimus sit with him on the floor, as he apologizes for the fact that by coming here, Drift and Ratchet have unwittingly signed up for Tarn’s Political Theory and Dismemberment Slam Poetry Night, but he mega-promises that they’ll come up with something together to get through this. Drift appreciates the sentiment, but knows that Rodimus is just saying this to make him feel better.

Back at the worst fan club meetup in the galaxy, Tarn elbows Overlord in the throat and tells him to fuck off. Overlord tells him that he knows Tarn never finished his degree and only acts like an academic for the aesthetic. Tarn transforms to shoot him while reminding Overlord that at least Megatron’s spoken to him in the last few thousand years. The two duke it out with their tank modes, Overlord KRUMPing all over Tarn, before the theatre kid kicks him off and questions why exactly Overlord is even alive, given that he chainsawed his head off last year. No word on if he’s bothered to ask this same question about 75% of the people he’s here to super murder.

Overlord simply states that someone found him floating out in space and fixed him up, because it turns out that they both wanted to go after Megatron and kill his ass dead, because Overlord is sort of sick of not getting the attention he so obviously deserves. When Tarn, ever the opportunist, attempts to make a team up deal, Overlord tells him to shut up.

And then they realize they lost the old man they were fighting over.

Great work, fellas.

Over with the Autobots (and Cyclonus), Rewind’s outside, looking at that memorial to the disappeared and trying to figure out why the Necrobot laid out the names in the way that he did. He’s currently near the top, where you can see most of Roller’s name, someone whose name ends in “gator”, and Dreamwave Production’s smoldering corpse, which makes me wonder if Alex Milne ever did get all the money he was owed from his work with them. Rewind, who last dealt with the DJD not even a year ago, is trying really, really hard to not think about how many needles they’re going to jam into Chromedome’s eyes this go around.

Of course, Nautica, who has come out to find Rewind, doesn’t give a shit about Rewind’s PTSD. She wants relationship advice! She’d ask Chromedome, but apparently he’s taking a nap, still worn out from stabbing Tailgate in the brain after he rainbow-exploded all over the ship. Which happened months ago.

You know, at the rate he’s been going, Chromedome probably wouldn’t have lived too far past sunset anyhow.

Anyway, Nautica wants to know if, on Cybertron, you have to be besties before you can get hitched, because that’s how it works on some of the other colonies. She specifies that this ISN'T how it works on Caminus, which is good, given how problematic that would be, considering you need to be best friends with someone by the time you're five weeks old, and there's no telling if they're cool with platonic polyamory. Rewind informs her that it’s either one or the other on Cybertron, no double-dipping, and god help you if it’s a situationship. Nautica is asking this because she’s realized that she can’t waffle about on committing anymore, seeing as she’s probably going to die in the next hour or so, and she’d rather use that time to enter a queer-platonic partnership than get her face fixed.

Back at the Peaceful Tyranny, Tarn has, in fact, managed to bring Overlord to reason, much to Deathsaurus’s confusion and derision, if his squiggle face is anything to go by. Overlord, smug as fuck, informs Deathsaurus that in exchange for his compliance, Tarn has agreed to let him personally murder Megatron while everyone watches, because surely Tarn couldn’t actually kill his idealogical idol, because he’s a pussy. Tarn is being very brave about this, only letting the spot blacking on his linework show on his face, as his fists shake with rage.

Then Kaon shows up, begging they pull back their forces until the Pet has been returned, and the spot blacking gets a little heavier.

Tarn, who has had a very long day of tactical meetings, phone calls, facing his fallen idol, having a very unsatisfying beatdown with said idol, and dealing with known freak Overlord, handles Kaon’s inability to be a big boy about misplacing his shitty little dog with all of the tact and decorum we’ve come to know him for— he gives Kaon a big, beefy hug, acknowledges just how much Kaon loves that shitty little dog, and then makes sure that Kaon never has to worry about a thing ever again.

That’s a series wrap on Kaon! Let’s give him a hand, folks!

Tarn, who has had just about enough of Overlord in the last half hour, smashes Kaon’s head onto Overlord’s tits, covering him in viscera, as he demands he be treated with respect, because this is HIS house, where HE’S paying the bills and calling the shots, so help him god. Nickel is very displeased that Tarn’s killed one of the Twinksome Twosome. No word on how Deathsaurus feels about this, considering that a big reason he’s working with Tarn is because he refused to kill the rest of the DJD when demanded to do so, thus showing his dedication to his men. Also no word on how the rest of the DJD are going to handle Tarn decapitating their weed man.

Tarn tells everyone to pony up, as they’re about to go over and handle all the silly little bastards hiding out in the Necrobot’s “fortress”.

Speaking of which, it looks like Megatron made it home, despite Tarn blowing his tits clean off with that cannon blast. Rodimus and Ratchet carry him inside, as Magnus is probably too busy not getting his arm put back on to help, and Megatron is using the last of his energy to hold the Autobot badge Tarn slapped off his chest earlier.

Sure hope Ratchet didn’t forget to tell Drift about his old boss being co-captain of the ship, or else this is going to be a very nasty surprise for both of them— we've already seen that Drift loves to freak out and kill sick people.
