Good Vibes Tuesday
I was tagged by the lovely @lizzie-bennetdarcy on this a couple weeks ago but I didn't answer it because timezones suck and I'm always late for everything, but, as @mostlyinthemorning said:
I'm in the mood for some positivity this morning, so let's share something that makes you happy about fandom*. It can be anything you like-a person or blog you appreciate, a post that made you laugh, a fic you liked, anything that puts good vibes into the world.
*fandom can be whatever you want it to be
Yesterday I was tagged by @trickiwooao3, @flowertrigger and @noahreids in a post called Mournful Monday. And I've also seen in my dash that same post by @chelle-68, @ramonaflow, @jamilas-pen, @smallumbrella369, @lizzie-bennetdarcy, @rosedavid, @stereopticons, @dinnfameron, @blackandwhiteandrose, @rmd-writes, @jesuisici33, @apothecarose, @hippolotamus, @mammameesh, @mostlyinthemorning and @carolrain (sorry if I missed your name, I've been scrolling through my dash for a long time, but if you're a writer, even if I haven't tagged you, this post is for you. And also, @obsessedwithdavrick tagged me for another game, but this includes you, too)
So my Good Vibes Tuesday go to all the writers mentioned above, and the ones I missed (sorry again) because the general vibe I got from all your posts was that you were all suffering from imposter syndrome, writer's block, burnout, lack of inspiration, lack of free time, lack of motivation, etc, etc.
You are all very talented and what you do for this fandom (and others) matters, and I assure you, you are all very appreciated.
All of that sucks, I've gone through it many, many times and I've thought I'd never write again, but you'll get back to it, I promise. And you're not wasting your time if you want to be writing but can't right now, you're just a person being way too hard on yourself.
Please give yourselves a break, you deserve it and thanks for all you've done and continue to do for this fandom 💖😘
Tagging everyone who wants to spread some positivity today

Hi hello so idk if anyone else has said anything about this but I'm making a post about it cause I can (MILD TF EARTHSPARK SPOILERS AHEAD???)

So recently I got into Transformers: Earthspark and the show is so gOOD LIKE AAAAAA- the details in it is phenomenal and the dialogue they have for the characters is great. But one thing I noticed the other day was with the GHOST logos on Optimus Prime and Megatron were different than each other
I noticed how in the Ghost logo for Optimus, it has the Autobot insignia while with Megatron, it has the Decepticon insignia. Which would make sense, the logo goes with their corresponding sides. HOWEVER. HOWEVER when thinking about this more, it kinda hurts; Megatron should have the Autobot insignia, not the Decepticon insignia.
The reason I say this is because in Episode 12: Outtakes, Jawbreaker goes and asks how Elita-1 and Megatron got their alt modes. Megatron went first with telling the story on how he got his alt mode and how he chose it just before the end of the war and this was when he stopped fighting against Optimus and joined him with his faction: Autobots. Megatron had stated when talking about his past that his priorities had changed and wanted something better for future Cybertronians.
Jawbreaker asked how Megatron got Optimus to trust him after the two were enemies, in which Megs responded with "By scanning an Earth vehicle." JB was surprised because he knew that meant Megatron had to give up his Cybertronian alt mode and it didn't seem fair. Megatron agreed because that is what he believed, at first. Megs only changed his alt mode when they had gotten attacked by seekers from in the air, he had no choice but to take the fight to them and scan the last aircraft on the base. With this act, Megatron said he had defended his new friends and proved his loyalty to Optimus. He no longer identified himself as a Decepticon, but people still treated him as such because of his past.
It's not fair with how much Megatron had sacrificed to prove himself, and still be treated unfairly by others. All he wants is a fair world where all Cybertronians, and Terrans, could live peacefully. It's a reason why Megatron had gotten so upset with how poorly they were treating arrested Decepticons and not even trying to give some of them a second chance.
This also is probably why he isn't exactly trusting of Ghost. Ghost keeps many secrets from others and leaves them in the dark with little to no information. Not to mention with all of the shady things that have been going on with them so Megs has valid reasoning not to trust them even though he has been 'working' for them.
Also I would like to rq mention how Ghost has been a thing for like 30 YEARS??? And how Optimus has been with them for that long but Megatron has only been with them for 15. So this also could correspond with how cruddy Ghost treats Megatron since he joined later, he asks a lot of questions, and doesn't exactly like to take BS from them.
TL;DR - Megatron needs to be treated fairly with all the shit he's sacrificed and had to deal with after joining Ghost

I finally began watching voltron
OKAY SO at the recommendation of a super cool person (@imperfection-you-will-find (sorry if you don’t want to be tagged) ) I got into watching Voltron: Legendary Defenders and I just finished the first season AND IT IS A REALLY COOL SHOW. I know I’m like 5 years late to the party but the animation! Characters! World building! All very interesting!! Love how smoothly they blend those 3D models into the show, it’s barely noticeable
Here’s a few thoughts (before I go binge the next season)
- first off it is BOLD that the first episode is an hour+ long. like damn they didn’t have to do that but they did and the pacing is surprisingly good for what they had to do, though I lowkey wish there was more adventuring-to-find-the-rest-of-the-lions because that part was pretty interesting, especially when they talked about having to form a bond with the lions first
- Hunk is a cool guy and I really like how he develops and ends up being one of the more serious characters (when, unfortunately, he isn’t the but of the joke. He’s neat but they make fun of his weight a fair bit and that’s not fun). Love how he has a good sus-detector, also he was SLAYING when he saved people during the season 1 finale
- Pidge is REALLY COOL and I personally (so far at least) headcanon them as enby. they also give off transman vibes and honestly that’s what I thought they were going to do with the character until the reveal. It’s cool how they handled it, and I love that the show didn’t go for an all-boy cast because that’d be disappointing.
- Lance is kinda annoying but he’s growing on me. I’m not the biggest fan but I like how he’s developing. Blue colour scheme is cool, but damn he really put everyone and an entire planet in danger just because he crushed briefly on a girl. Shame.
- Shiro is COOL. We don’t know much about him and the portrayal of his trauma is a really good thing to add. I do find it mildly funny (in a dark way? funny might not be the right word) that like. Lance and Hunk are there because vibes, Pidge is there for vibes but also they were on a mission of their own, Keith right now is very mysterious and gives off many vibes, but Shiro’s backstory is that he was tortured for a year, forced to fight, there’s the implication that his body was forcefully modified as he was trained to be a weapon, and also he’s probably killed quite a few people and he’s trying to deal with that and everything while like, they’re vibing
- Keith is COOL. Red lion swag. Love his somewhat morally ambiguous vibes, also I feel like he’s going to be a big projection character. They haven’t really covered his background other than he dropped out, but I bet there’s a lot more going on. I can DEFINITELY see he is liked. ALSO I feel like the whole “you fight like a Galra soldier” is more than just a one off line. I sense it. Plus the whole “you have to earn the trust of the red lion, you can’t just befriend it right away” gives off big flags of “HEY PAY ATTENTION”. I could write so much about this but I wanna go binge the second season xD
- THE CLIFFHANGER OF A FINAL EPISODE. There is so much I could talk about (the character development, the battle scenes, everything is so cool. It’s like seeing all the things I wish we could’ve seen in steven universe and also I think belos would be proud of the general genocide even if it isn’t religion based). I’ll keep it short and just say that DAMN SO MUCH HAPPENS AND IT IS VERY COOL
I’m going in spoiler free and it’s quite fun! Thanks for the recommendation @imperfection-you-will-find, can’t wait to watch more so I can fully appreciate your super cool edits and posts xD

I look at the 98 anime with a fond fascination. It’s based off of only the original couple issues of Trigun plus like I want to say the first 4? Of trimax. And bc of how many things get developed and revealed much more down the line in the manga, it’s so interesting to think about this offshoot of the original source material where things didn’t quite ramp up to the same scale but still got to the heart of things anyways, where everyone’s backstories played out just a little to the left and led to a similar but different tale. Trimax is definitely my favorite, bc just everything about it is so well done to me, but 98 holds its own unique spot in my favor
i definitely agree anon ur So right
it's practically a branching timelines situation, where everything is so, SO close to being the same, but thanks to the butterfly effect everything got skewed ever so slightly and now the whole world is just that much more different
call it parallel universes, alternate dimensions, alternate timelines... i really love it all. there's so many specific parts of both trimax and 98 that shine brighter and dimmer than one another. unique pieces of the narrative that were either expounded or brushed aside.
like in 98, meryl didn't want to believe that vash was the legend she was looking for. it was a ridiculous notion that such a friendly, goofy guy could be the bloodthirsty killer she hunted for
but in the manga, she and milly took to it instantly. in fact, they jumped into it with AGGRESSION- actively getting involved in the fighting and PUSHING to calm the situation down. this panel in particular i think sums it up very well lol:
they meet him with confidence and they're not afraid to fire upon others for the sake of collective peace. vash is caught off by how readily he's approached and even defended, in a way. when the automatic reaction to learning his identity is usually either hostility or fear, it makes sense.
and i dont have a convenient shot of any particular moment in 98 that portrayed their early relationship well, but it's easy to see the differences anyway.
instead of steady confidence, meryl met vash with confusion and outright denial for awhile. she and milly both got involved in fewer fights overall i think? but i might be wrong. i won't speak much on this since i don't remember 98 very well, but i get the sense they sought out vash's fights much less in that rendition (at least early on. they went CRAZY toward the end- meryl especially).
and there's countless little differences like this.
so yeah, even if trimax is the source content, 98 is this funky little spinoff that treats vash just a little bit more nicely lmao. the whole thing is a little more watered down, i think; intentionally to make it more palatable. i still love it regardless, of course. it just oozes charm <3
