I forgot how much fun staying up late fangeeking with Koi is. In the course of the evening until two in the morning, with time allowed for the watching of the last two episodes of TF: Armada, the following theories came into play:

* Vector Sigma as a demon snack machine, resulting in the Beast Machines Oracle encouraging the Maximals towards bringing back demonic control of Cybertron.

* Thrust as the power behind the throne in Armada, given that Megatron is good at getting followers but rubbish at leading them anywhere.

* Aerialbots as religious figures.

* TF: Animated not just resembling a G1 AU, but actually being one, specifically an AU where the Matrix either never existed or was never found after Alpha Trion took it.

* TF: Armada Optimus Prime with the brakes off is fucking scary (okay, maybe that was just me).

* Energon Scorponok is Armada Starscream, Energon Starscream is Armada Thrust.

The dimension-traveling Thrust ghost was not addressed during the conversation, but it may be brought up at a later time. In summary, I love this house.

Just when I think the fanboy community can't get any skeezier, they come up with the Open-Source Boob Project Warnings for descriptions of breasts that border on the ludicrous and extremely disturbed interpretations of 'taking control of your sexuality'.

Fandom_wank's less funny cousin has a listing of various comments and rebuttals to the project, most of which consist of tl;dr versions of WHAT THE FUCKING HELL NO.

I tend to agree.

This is irksome. Apparently menstruation lowers the amount of iron in your blood below permittable limits for donating blood and platelets. So I'll have to make an appointment for next week or something when I've stopped bleeding enough to...well, be allowed to bleed.

Oh well. Might as well go with the sex meme I got off Luna and then mangled.

Name a character in my headspace and I'll give you a description of their sexual preferences/orientations/tendencies. You can name as many as you wish, because I'm an attention whore at the moment.

Transformers fandom:

Why are you writing fanfiction for a movie that isn't out yet?

I realize that some of them could have been written based on the novel or prequel comics, but the dates on some of the movie-fics is before the release of the first prequel comic and the summaries involve characters that aren't even in the toyline let alone the fic itself. What is wrong with this fandom?

Everyone else is reporting this, might as well add my own voice.

Essentially, LJ Abuse has been deleting journals and communities that feature shota, chan, and underage pornfics or references to fics thereof. More specifically, they're targeting people with words such as 'rape', 'incest', or 'shota' in their Interests lists, and there has been no quarter granted to communities for survivors of child abuse or discussion of the book 'Lolita'.

Details are here and the wank report is here (due to the servers being robust, you might need to refresh or use ctrl-shift-R if you can't get through to something). Lock up your Fred/George noncon and clean up your Interests, people. The Shit Has Gone Down.

Right. You. The stupid person.

It is your Furman-right to dislike Transformers slash and I'm totally cool with it. Most of the fandom feels this way. However, that doesn't mean you can be a jerk about it.

( Cut for length and being rather bitter. )

Oh, and this?

And in a sense spirit Galvatron is fuming seeing stupid homo jokes of him and Cyclonus. He's raging, screaming and all out furious about it. He's sick and tired of seeing it and wants to destroy all that fanart that depicts it.

This does not help your credibility.

EDIT: And now...apparently she's taking down all her stuff and leaving the fandom forever. Dude. Someone's either overreacting or in desperate need of attention.

DOUBLE EDIT: Nope, false alarm, she was just joking!. What nonsense this fandom has.

So...79% on my latest Chemistry test. That's ten points above last time and
merits as a 'by your fingertips' B. It's quite awesome.

A friend of Sunshine Josh is running a Dungeons and Dragons campaign for us this
week, and I've been having a lot of fun with it. My character's a Chaotic Neutral elitist prat of a wizard named Tariq, with Charisma out the yin-yang between my personal rping and his dice-given stats. He's already got a barmaid fangirl, although the running joke seems to be that he's gay after the whole 'making chibi eyes at the guards to get a tour of the castle' incident. He keeps snarking at Josh's apathetic Lawful Evil monk, although he's made decent friends with the NPC half-orc who acts as our meat shield (the guy literally cleaved a bandit in half down the middle during our last battle, and the monk caved someone's face in. Tariq's great with people, but not that hot in battle).

The DM is also going to give me some of his old Transformers toys, which will rock if the deal goes through. He's your definite gamer boy stereotype, though, and I'm hoping he isn't going to get weird on me on account of I'm a 'gamer girl' and therefore a hot commodity.

ALSO! And also!

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End trailer. This has left me a writhing frothing bit of fangirl on all sides and from all aspects and squuueeee! Is it May yet? Because the Davy Jones swordfight alone...

Squee!

Professional Nobodies--Extremely well done, a definite must-see.

Gilligan's Island of the Caribbean--Will is so Gilligan.

Shiver My Timbers--Another excellent vid with music from Muppet Treasure Island. Do you see a theme here?

Quickstrike Appreciation--Set to the music of Snakes on a Plane. Very amusing.

Death of Thrust--Not a music video, just the painful demise of everyone's favorite tactician in case anyone wanted to see it. No, I don't know why it's labeled "Silly Death of Scourge", or why the animation sucks.

The Last Saskatchewan Pirate--Yay Everquest.

Got to see the rest of V for Vendetta tonight. It rocked majorly hard. Go see it if you haven't yet.

( Spoilers away! )

In other news, I have a new date for the prom. (I promise I'll keep Shelley off you, Hillary).

First off: Amasa, I am very VERY sorry for falling asleep on you last night. Next time I'll know my limits and go to bed before I get a faceful of keyboard.


Questions from raisedbymoogles

1) What's your icon from? 'Cause it looks cute.

It’s the cropped head from this, which is a human female version of Cybertron Ransack.

2) What was your favorite toy as a kid?

I had a lot of stuffed animals that I loved dearly, but one of my favorites was Judge Rabbit. He was a bunny in a judge outfit with a wig and a little gavel that later came unglued and got lost. He was given to me at some thing with a Santa Claus when I was really little, and it might have had something to do with the fact that I snuck out of the room while the other kids were playing and I saw “Santa” getting his costume together. Fortunately I’m Jewish so I already knew the secret.

3) Quick! Make up a battle cry!

Feel your mind sizzle, for your logical thought shall be mine!

4) Pick one appliance in your house that you wish could talk.

Does the computer count? Besides that I wish the toaster could talk so I’d be able to know why it won’t put the bread down half the time.

5) What annoys you about the fandom? And by "the fandom" I mean any fandom that you happen to be in-mindset right now.

Transformers fanboys

I’m pretty pissed at some of the purists who think that whatever the networks put out isn’t good enough, so they’re going rewrite the entire series-universe to their own specifications. I’ve seen more then one rewrite of Energon where they just take what they want and make up the rest. Or the ones that just out and out hate non-G1 and bash Armada worst of all. I’m an Armada fan and I’m damn proud of it.

This guy is also a little on the confusing side. He seems to think that cartoon and comic Shockwave are aspects of the same person, and Shockblast must be similar to them in personality.

And then there’s the art. I’m no artist so perhaps I should be complaining, but I’m tired of seeing everyone just posing with no background, usually with a hand reaching out. Where’s the action, where’s the creativity?

Don’t even get me started on the depiction of females, and this goes for both genders. Stop depicting them as frail little flowers or preppy romance-obsessed shoppers. The canon femmes are warriors, and any Autobot/Decepticon fancharacters are going to at least have a tough-girl streak. I refer you to Steadfast or Steelcast for Decepticon examples. Capable, elegant, deadly in Steadfast’s case, but no hint of “OMG My boyfriend hates me I’m going to go cry in a corner”. Blech. Neutrals are a different story, but there are no canon neutrals.
