@Dipper: prime!soundwave has a really cool design. tfp (transformers prime) sw is probably one of my top soundwave designs/interpretations, but soundwave is normally one of my top faves regardless of the series/universe he's in. he's so slender/stylized in tfp & it is rly hard to draw (but really cool looking)

old man ratchet is the only ratchet i accept. tfa (transformers animated) ratchet is my fave bc he's so grumpy and over being at war
also the tfa ratchet line "what are you going to do, arrest me?" is iconic... no spoilers but it's gr8

the idw (ll/mtmte) transformers comics are amazing but SO LONG and they're actually really... emotional. i haven't even read them all, but i know all the major plot points from twitter/ao3 ;;;;

@optimus prime: it is nice to have a goal to aim for. Having a purpose for making volts really helps me keep posting and not getting too lazy.

There’s an item museum with the names and images of all the items if you’re curious. https://www.voltra.us/forum/view_topic/3712

That is what led to my endless item wishlist. XD

@kiwi: i was SO HAPPY for soundwave in IDW ...things don't stay happy for him : ((((( but that's comics for you!!! they giveth and taketh away QAQ but coswave (cosmos/soundwave) is a top tier ship imho. let soundwave be retired and happy!!! also cosmos is such a big lonely nerd... let him be happy too!!


prime is ... not my cup of tea, but some of the ideas are gr8 and worth watching. tfp ratchet and tfp soundwave are gr8 and make it the watch worthwhile but i'm biased bc,,,,,, they're some of my faves in any series

@kiwi: not canon-confirmed, no :-( but i consider saying "as you wish" pretty much sealing the deal for a 'con like soundwave imo.
soundwave deserves a bf!! plus, it's one of the only canon moments where he might actually feel/be affectionate, and i really want that for him QAQ

@totalanimefan: nice. i like chai, orange pekoe, and green tea. they're all very different but good in their own ways

@Totalanimefan: yeah! i'm definitely the person who asks, when/if i'm offered tea, what kinds are available

@Totalanimefan: i actually take my tea black most of the time, regardless of the type of tea...
sometimes i take sugar, though. milk is hard on my stomach : (

i like to have cookies with my tea. especially chocolate chip.
what kind of snacks do you like?

@kiwi: no spoilers but.... there's no way they'll end up together. QAAAAAAAAQ



they're not quite a niche ship, but it isn't nearly as big as the bigger ships in the fandom like MegOp, MegaStar, Prowl/Jazz, etc. which honestly... don't have much to support them either. "say my name and i will hear you"/the nickname "little autobot" sends me every time

there are a few canon requited ships! mtmte/ll comics gave the tf fandom canon drift/ratchet, which is adorbs, chromedome/rewind which is just so sad and sweet, and cyclonus/tailgate, which is so wonderful, too! we do have some canon gay ships <3

@Totalanimefan: idk i find milk/cream really overpowers most tea..... tea is just such a kind of delicate taste that's easily overwhelmed. i don't think it's bad to add milk, i just don't like it myself.


@kiwi: YES!

arcee is fantastic <3 depending on the universe/canon, all female tfs are ftm trans. also i forgot about lug/anode, the wifes of my life who are married (conjuxed) female trans transformers

@kiwi: well, there was some backlash about the canon establishment of several lgbt characters but i have to say jro (james roberts, one of the writers) had the funniest replies. one of the reviews was like "megatron is GAY and an autobot" in the ll/mtmte comics and jro was like, actually, this review is a fantastic recommendation :-) i'm rephrasing it bc i can't find the exact post but it was gr8

and there are other canon gay characters;
brainstorm, crankcase, & pipes; it's implied for literally dozens of other characters

imo it makes a lot of sense most transformers are gay because they're 99% male-aligned folks. like sure some are ace/aro, too, but like... let the robots fall in love. jro said gay and trans rights.

i always recommend coswave bc it's so CUTE and sad and soundwave is so much happier and the longing..... THE LONGING *chefs kiss*

@Totalanimefan: if it's bitter, i will add some honey/sugar

normally i take tea black.

do you drink coffee at all? hot chocolate? other warm beverages?

@Totalanimefan:

i do like (some) coffee. i actually prefer lattes, which is espresso with steamed milk, but i will normally add 1-2 shots of espresso to make it a little more bitter. i don't add sugar to lattes.

i find most hot chocolates difficult to get right. often it's either too sugary sweet (like it doesn't taste like it has any actual chocolate), or there's a mouthful of hot chocolate powder at the bottom after what feels like 5+ minutes of stirring. i think it's because the powders are bad, honestly. i'm picky about my hot chocolate

@kiwi: it's absolutely ridiculous how unselfaware and self-absorbed cishet ppl can be.... it's rude af when you take it as an excuse to be homophobic and transphobic :lll

optimus prime is gay and there's nothing you can do about it! arcee is trans and that's just facts!



yeah! she wants two ceremonies, and she decided last week she wanted to have the first ceremony in only 2 mths QAQ
