Febuwhump Day 16: Semi-conscious

Listen I know it’s May now. I still wanna finish some of these ideas dangit. Rook blows up an experiment again and Trey attempts to pick up the pieces as a knight does. Rook continues to wax poetic about science as he goes in an out of consciousness, to Trey’s dismay (thanks to my friend Canvas this is the nonsense I think about hhsdhfjksd)

Please don’t tag reblogs of this with ship tags, thanks! This was drawn with platonic intent! ✨

Hfhhf I'm just. I need to share this scene I've been doung because OGFD but it was a post rather than an actual fic but:

So, the rescue bots and their partners are relaxing after a long day and someone's scrolling on tiktok out loud because hey people do that. This one edit pops up with the pornhub music and Blades instinctively checks his datapad that's next to him. Kade calls him out "blades how do you recognize that music" and from sheer reaction Heatwave half chokes to death on a cube of energon because bLADES WHAt the frAG

#ignore this if you want #tfp au #hfjjihoh i just think it's hilarious #suggestive #i don't want to put this in the main tags mmmmkay #OGFD stands for (one goddamn fic disease) lol #i am of the firm opinion that Blades is team edward okay #i think you know why i recognize it tbh #i am a menace

Neurotypicals be wild, y'all.

My BIL just told me that Kotetsu is a better character than Barnaby because "his style is better, his motivation is better, and Barnaby is a hot mess."

When I asked for clarification on that statement I was basically told Barnaby does things for himself, not really for others, and that he keeps having breakdowns and is emotionally unstable.

"So essentially, you're holding Barnaby's mental illness against him?"

Crickets.

As I've said in previous posts, those are exactly the reasons why I love Barnaby. But it all literally just boils down to "Barnaby is mentally ill and/or neurodivergent."

I love Barnaby because I see myself in him (yep, this is an "importance of representation" post, y'all). I firmly believe my dude has an anxiety disorder, PTSD (obviously), and might be on the ASD spectrum. Barnaby's always been my favorite, but it's only been my more recent watch throughs that I've gotten why.

I have diagnosed anxiety and PTSD. Before I got diagnosed, I would get just as bitchy and uptight as he used to be because I was Anxious and keyed up. Now that I'm getting treated and managing, I feel guilty about how I acted back then when I let myself think on it-- so it's Cathartic As Hell to see that journey validated and reflected in a character like Barnaby, who is inarguably a Genuinely Good, Loving Person at his core. It's so much easier to let the guilt go when I can remind myself "it's not that you were a bad person, it's that you were a teenager dealing with an untreated mental illness alone." It lets me give myself Grace to know that other people have gone through that exact experience.

Barnaby's motivation is literally just wanting to be happy. That's it. I feel like for a lot of people with chronic mental illness, that's literally all we want, and people that aren't mentally ill don't get how unattainable that can feel. We have to do what we can for ourselves when we can. That's why he's "selfish." He's found something that makes him happy (cough, Kotetsu, cough-- whether you view it platonically or otherwise) and he is fighting tooth and nail to keep it.

As for the ASD thing, I saw a post on here a while back arguing for Barnaby being on the spectrum (someone pls lmk if you find it). I kind of wrote it off as a "you do your headcanon fam, not my business" because I related to Barnaby so fucking much, and I wasn't on the autism spectrum. Except after a recent discussion with my school psychologist, I am now on a waiting list to get assessed for ASD.

Now, that's not to say Kotetsu is entirely healthy (let me know if you would like my "Kotetsu is depressed" argument). I just think my BIL didn't even clock that, because it's more subtle.

Genuinely, though, I don't understand how you can watch Tiger and Bunny without seeing Barnaby's mental health journey as integral. I mean, I have my own issues with season 2, but when they showed Barnaby's apartment full of plants, I fucking Bawled. He was happier. He was healthier. He had a hobby. He was Healing.

So yeah, it's a little frustrating to hear that someone literally dislikes a character for providing genuinely good representation for mental illness. Then again, I've now seen the same guy get in two other arguments where he can't see that he's arguing from a place of privilege (one was felon voting, one was a POC representation).

For completeness to the rebuttal: I can't judge the style comment, cause I dress like one or the other on any given day. The vibe is 70s-maybe-queer-man regardless.

Ooo how about “dance”?

Hello my darling 💜

From a (shockingly) gen fic where Hermione sorts out some stuff with her parents:

Mr. Granger usually had some sort of trivia tidbit for whatever selection he decided on. He would admonish the rise of tapes, a firm believer in the soulful quality of a scratchy record. When he ran out of things to say, he’d grab Hermione or her mum, whoever’s hands were free, and would dance with them. It didn’t matter what the song was, he’d spin them around the kitchen and into the dining room. When it was her turn Hermione would cling to him, shrieks of laughter mingling with the music.

Her dad’s favorite band was The Who, and his favorite song was Blue Red and Grey. No matter where they were in preparing dinner, when the song came on he would lift Hermione and dance with her. As Pete Townsend warbled, I like every second, so long as you are on my mind

Every moment has its special charm

It's all right when you're around, rain or shine Hermione’s dad would tap the end of her nose and then kiss her mum’s head.

Send me a word!

Today's a ~day~ so this means I am gonna go nuts about RID15 and the things I like about it. Because let's be honest i think it's a little mean how of all the series we dunk on it's that one, and it's an exercise in how mid =/= bad.

100% would've been a better series if it focused on Smokescreen, instead of Bumblebee. Absolutely have all the questions about how Soundwave and Lazerbeak survived in the shadowzone and there's so much speculation you can do there. We actually see a lot of variation in Cybertronian (? And other mechanoids from other planets, I assume) frametypes, including folks who are downright venomous and LOADS of minicons as compared to TFP. The Stunticons, omg we can say so much about the Stunticons especially since well typically in g1 Breakdown is part of the gestalt which leads to interesting questions. The Armada references!!! So Many beast altmodes! What we see with rogue Decepticons carving out their own little niches and building their own hierarchies. In general the Alchemor prison ship crash makes a fuck ton of sense, and it introduces characters who might have missed the majority of the war and characters who were imprisoned before the war started which is just! The exdecepticon!Grimlock origin story which is most definitely a reference to bayverse and interesting as hell because it's a story we see time and time again in that show that many of the exdecepticons just don't care about the war.

#rid15 imo needs a little more love #it asks some very intriguing questions about the aligned continuity as a whole #and literally speaking I'm not wrong it should have been Smokescreen as the main character and I'm going to honestly pretend that #closing my eyes and pretending it's Smokescreen mmmmkay #the amphibiods are definitely tfa references though #oh! is this indicating another rewatch on the horizon? #tf rid15 #sure sure when i watched it as a kid i didn't pay attention to it much because i was doing a weird depression binge #but i can actually analyze it now

OK GOTTA MAKE MY TBAGG/DIG POST!!!!!

Ok, so I know i've talked AT LENGTH on this page about how much this silly little band means to me, but like, whatever, you need to hear it again. I feel like discovered them between eras, too late for AOTPA but also over a year before TBAGG. This isn't my first new album, but it is my first time having been around for the entire thing, and wow, what a ride. Like I've said, discovering this band in March of 2020 was a godsend because it was one of the only things that made me happy when there wasn't much else that did and that's a huge part of why the last two years have been so special.

Being there for the new singles (especially My Way, Soon!!) and the album release was so much fun, and it was the most excited I've been for new music in years, getting to see them in Nashville at their first show with TBAGG music was incredible, and even with all the postponed shows and cancellations, DIG was still a pretty special experience. Also, had I not had two shows straight up cancelled, I don't think I would have ever looked into doing a GA show and needless to say, my experience at DIG Hollywood was so fucking special and I can't put express how happy I am I had the opportunity to do that. Like I've said before, if you had told me in spring/summer 2020 when I first fell in love with their music that THIS is what I'd have to look forward to (while I was sadly watching their old performances and simply wishing to be there), I don't know if I would have believed you and I AM getting a little emo about that.

So like, all that to say, my first era as a GVF fan was pretty fucking magical and like, yeah I'm sure whatever they do next will be fucking incredible, but like...I'm sadder to see this era come to a close than I expected and I do feel like whatever's coming has some huge shoes to fill.
