First attack down!

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

His head shape: I tried to make it look like he’s wearing a head garment that war-time nurses used to wear, not sure if it comes to through but i also do just think this head shape is very shape

Warmer color tone, because cool tone Ratchet simply does not look good 💔 Also a better color palette over all, the yellow in the original design was just there for no reason and i think having the blue actually has lore value.

it's ok, if tintin doesn't make it out of here it saves martine from killing him herself

This isn’t to say this is a horrible thing so much is to say it’s an interesting observation. I adore fanworks that cover things like romance and different forms of relationships, but sometimes when a single version gets popular, it hinders exploration.

Dratchet comes to mind in that the MTMTE version of Drift seems to be the default personalty when included in other continuities, rarely exploring new or different dynamics between him and Ratchet, despite the interesting backstories for both of them.

It’s also interesting how when some ships become synonymous with the characters themselves, the expectation for creators in fan spaces change as well; in personal experience with the LLCS AU, I’ve had people get real mad at me that I made Bee a human and Starscream a cat bc that interrupts the ship. A LOT of people were mad in my askbox when Pharma was revealed to be human(and dead lmao). People have gotten upset at my refusal to protray the cats’ relationships romantically as well. What even?

For the "crime" of not wanting to be tracked/have ads pissed into your eyeballs 24/7.

Even if you've paid for the "privilege" of the latter.
