Day 15; A Good Morning Ruined

Fadnom; transformers Characters: Crosshairs, Drift, Jamie (OC) Rating: T Description; The fun is ruined a few hours later. Drift struggles with this medical issue, haunted by his nightmare.

Angstober; full circle Whumpober; flare AI-lesstober; (skipped) OC-tober; (repeat) with their partner, crush, or best friend Flufftober; "I hate it" - "No, you don't" Continued from day 14

As Crosshairs thought, the happiness wouldn't last long. The two mechs are used to this, but it's always challenging to watch, not after what they call the nightmare situation. Not even Ratchet or Optimus — who have watched Jamie go through this many times — can convince the two that what they saw is rare. With Drift caring for Jamie, Crosshairs gets something nice for his stressed friend.

He hates that on his way out, Cade, Cogman, and Vivian know something is up. He hates how they'd have to know, but the fact he can't leave the house without them knowing something is up is troubling. Crosshairs tells them to leave Drift alone for now before leaving.

Even though it's just breakfast, Crosshairs knows Drift will like what he got. Crosshairs sees Drift sitting on the bed, staring out the window. "I got one of your favorites for breakfast," Crosshairs tells him. Drift looks at what Crosshairs got for him and what Crosshairs got himself. "I hate it," Drift says. "No, you don't." Drift stares at Crosshairs in disbelief. He takes a few seconds to realize that Crosshairs is talking about what he got. "I'm sorry, I—." "I know, watching her go through this is never easy. Even if it's minor. Not after what we went through seven years ago." "I know she can't get worse with this level, but still, she's in a coma for a week. The more fragged up part is I wonder if she's getting a break from nightmares." He's terrified. Crosshairs observes, making his usual worried mind when Jamie goes through a flare-up look like nothing. Crosshairs hates it when both of his friends go through what he calls the full circle. Doing fine mentally — even Jamie with her anxiety and depression — to failing apart and struggling. Now, both his friends are struggling. Crosshairs believes he needs to get Drift to tell him what happened in his nightmare that terrified him last night, but first, the two eat their breakfast. Both try not to stare at the monitor on Jamie's nightstand. Relieved Ratchet doesn't make them bring Jamie to the medbay, but it's not all good when the reason is their medical training. Not enough to fill in for Ratchet or help any seriously wounded Autobots or shoulders, but enough for basic first aid and to care for Jamie's medical condition.

After the two eat, Crosshairs tries to get Drift to tell him about his nightmare. Crosshairs knows Drift likely dreamt about Jamie being dead, but wasn't for what Drift described. Explains why he's having a harder time with Jamie dealing with a flare-up. Crosshairs thinks. Not is a good time for this to happen. While they were told to stay away from the room for now, Cade and Vivian heard what Drift said. The two don't think they'll be much help, but they want to try to help both their friends. Vivian has only been told what Cade, Crosshairs, and Drift dealt with seven years ago. She doesn't believe another situation they all went through is close to what the three call the nightmare situation. The four try to help each other, but thinking positively with every challenge they face is hard. Even though they know Jamie won't decline while dealing with the flare-up. Crosshairs hopes his friends make a full circle and are as happy as they were four months ago.

Okay so uhhh... visions came upon me and this was the result lol

Based on this absolute atrocity (affectionate... kind of)

[ID: A fourteen panel comic done in grayscale based on a Twitter thread from David Jenkins.

First panel: Neil Gaiman is surrounded by a crowd of fans, a bright spotlight is shining on top of him. One of the fans points a microphone in his direction and says "Mr. Gaiman! How would describe season two using only three words?"

Second panel: A close up shot of Neil, he smiles and says "Uhh... I'd say it's quiet, gentle, and romantic". "Romantic" is written in a flourished cursive font. There are little floating red hearts surrounding him.

Third panel: A shot of the crowd of fans saying "Awww" in unison, there are little hearts floating around. They find it adorable.

Fourth panel: A black screen titled "At David Jenkins' Twitter"

Fith panel: David Jenkins is sitting in table far away from the point of view, at the center of the image, a spotlight is shining on top of him. There is a crowd of fans forming a semi-circle around him, they are squished against one another, stoping at the little fence that is surrounding the table . A fan standing near the front says " I LOVE U... three words to describe season 2?"

Sixth panel: A close up shot of David Jenkins, he is sitting with both elbows proped up on the table, supporting his head with his hands. The harsh light is shining in on him, he looks serious and solemn. His head is tilted down but his eyes are looking directly at the camera, the whites of his eyes make a stark contrast against his shadowed figure. He says " Fucking sweet...".

Seventh panel: The shot is arranged in the same way as in fifth panel. David Jenkins is far away, sitting at his table , the fans are surrouding him in a semi-circle. The fan near the front replies "Give us one more word David"

Eight panel: A huge shock wave tilts the crowd back. All lights are out, except for the spotlight shining in on David Jenkins. David's arms are unnaturally elongated in a spider-like way, fiercely gripping the table with both hands.

Ninth panel: David lauches into the crowd. The point of view remains the same, but now his head is extremely close up the camera. He emphatically says "FUCKING"

Tenth panel: The scene is seen from the side, now we can see that David still remains sitting at his table, but his neck is extended in a long unnatural arch. He is directly looking at the fan from before, his head on top of them. The fan still has the microphone poiting in David's direction. A new spotlight is shining in on both of them. David says, "SWEET"

Eleventh panel: A close up shot of the crowd. The camera lies a little ways below David's head, only the bottom of it is visible. We see that the fan with the microphone is crouched and almost completely tilted back. The fan is looking directly at Jenkins. The crowd continues squished together, watching intently with shocked faces. David continues, saying "YOU"

Thirteenth panel: The shot is arranged in the same way as in the previous panel. David continues, saying "SLUTS". The letters are written in an emboldened font. The crowd is completely shocked, but also weirdly flattered, all of them are blushing.

Fourteenth panel: David Jenkins goes back to sitting at his table, in a movement similar to a metal spring coiling up again after being streched out. He is sitting far away from the camera, at the center of the image. The fans forming a semi-circle around him. They continue blushing, with some assorted murmurs of bafflement as in "oh my god", "dude what" and "why". /END ID]

This is sad but unfortunately I think this is just going to be the norm for the next few years as streaming services die a slow death.

HBO Max should in theory be able to make money from a show that was at one point the top new series in the US. At the time, David Jenkins said "This is what happens when a major media company invests in inclusive mainstream stories" (agree!) but unfortunately that major media company, like all streaming services, has a terrible business model that can't support that investment.

This is an interesting article about how streaming services are losing money and scrambling to make it back by trying to convince people to buy cheaper, ad-supported options or bundling with other streaming services. Unfortunately for them, I think that's like... all of the options? At some point they're just going to continue to lose money. Making shows is expensive and very few consumers are willing to pay more when they could just cancel and use a cheaper service (or, you know. 🏴‍☠️)

This is also a good article that was written after Shadow and Bone was cancelled by Netflix about whether it could be saved:

"The problem is that while saving shows used to be plausible, at times, the cost of Shadow and Bone combined with the fact that streaming services are really, really starting to cut back on spending means that this would be an extremely tough sell. WB Discovery’s Max is being lambasted for killing finished projects for tax breaks to chip into its massive debt. Disney Plus has done the same thing and has said they will cut back on things like expensive Marvel shows. Amazon Prime is mired in expensive creator deals going nowhere and throwing insane amounts of money at projects they are realizing are not panning out. Paramount Plus losing $500 million a year. NBC’s Peacock is losing $650 million a quarter."

TLDR; Streaming services have reached such a dire point financially that they have to cancel some of their most popular content (Marvel shows on Disney+???? These have seemingly been very successful; it's wild to read that they're "cutting back") in the desperate hope that a new season of something that's cheaper to make will get more attention.

What I gathered from these articles is that steaming services are dying a slow death and sadly, a lot of good shows are going to go with them.

#as a teacher i'm Very Familiar With Budget Cuts and listen #when they start doing stuff that doesn't even make logical sense you know it's bad #this is the point where they're pointing at chairs in the break room being like 'do we really need that' #streaming was a terrible business model in the first place #subscriber services are pyramid schemes no i will not elaborate #mine #our flag means death #ofmd #rip in peace #where else can i watch con o'neill tho #him saying 'ooh daddy' haunts my nightmares i want to watch all of his content

not to minimize the gravity of war, but i need more people to know about:

Bicycle Warfare

bicycles have several advantages over horses & fuel-powered vehicles, with the result that bicycle infantry has in fact played a significant role in 20th century warfare...

it turns out that warfare sometimes involves battalions of bicycle-riding soldiers. (and while i personally am sick of war films, I'm willing to make an exception here because there really needs to be a movie about this.)

#the cavalry has arrived! and it has spokes #also the night after learning this i had a brief but memorable nightmare of being chased by a herd of feral bicycles #no riders. just a mob of bloodthirsty howling bicycles #it haunts me still...

Maybe. #Disco AU gives me the opportunity to explore the idea of 'what if wwx and lwj were even *more* neurotic and haunted?' #LWJ absolutely would have repetitive nightmares about wwx with the themes of inevitability and helplessness. #Sometimes its him dying as wwx stands by. Sometimes it is him - unable to move as wwx slowly fades away. #Haunted by the past....Lost to the pale tides of mourning. Welcoming the pain just to feel the memory nearby. #See you all tomorrow for the Real Comic (manifesting it by saying it over and over again) #side note: I think wwx would be a great lifeguard. He would love heckling teens and helping out kids and old folks. #Goofy but takes the health and safety aspect of his job very seriously. #There's gotta be an AU for that out there....right?
