I imagine the base as Ravage, with wings, one taken from Buzz and Laserbeak. Rumble and Frenzy are torn down to just component parts that are laid like ornamentation along the torso, one side dedicated to each twin. I think this would allow Ravage to use Rumble's pile drivers and Frenzy's frequency abilities.

Those are the main cassettes but if you wanted to add more you could like adding Slugfest's spikes along Ravage's back.

I think Ravage would be disgusted with their new form and would blind themselves or ask Shockwave yo remove their optics or even parts of their processor so they are just nothing but a set of tasks. They could wear a wrap around their helm. Maybe Ratbat could be represented here and Ravage would be given increased hearing and sonar abilities and an increased sense of smell after they have been blinded.

Last night I got an angry message on my Tumblr from a user asking why I was flaming their story on AO3.

I never leave negative comments (and I've left over 500 positive ones!). I looked into it, and the hatebots on AO3 used my username with (Guest) at the end to send one of the most vile messages I've ever read to a user in a completely different fandom from me.

I straightened it out with that user and explained about the hatebots. But their initial message to me was angry, they'd found me off AO3 on Tumblr and called out personal details from my page because they thought I was bullying them.

I still can't really fathom why these hatebots do what they do, but I'm also a little scared that a misunderstanding like that could lead to someone getting doxxed. And I'm also extremely sad that this bot is posing as me and threatening other users. I encouraged the one reaching out to me to report and block and made a note on my page explaining that (Guest) comments are not from me in case anyone else had that experience.

I still love AO3 for the ability to write and share and connect over our stories and fandoms, but this is really discouraging and scary, in addition to the almost daily art bot scams I get on AO3 too.

And my heart breaks for the user who thought even for a moment that a complete stranger would say such awful things to them using my name.

And it's devastating to think of so many writers waiting for feedback on a story they worked so hard on who are getting hateful comments like these. Or to think someone could internalize those hateful comments without knowing it's a bot.

My heart breaks especially for newer writers on AO3, it's definitely a different landscape from when I joined two years ago.

As a kid who grew up watching Terminator - I'm not sure I envisioned the robot wars looking quite like this!!

Cats. Cats are nice.

Sleeping in on a grey, rainy morning.

Trying a new cookie recipe and being excited about a tweak to make it even better next time.

A clean flannel shirt.

A new vinyl record.

Drinking tea out of my favorite mug.

Wearing cologne even when I'm not going out anywhere.

Hearing the laughter of friends from down the hall.

Imagining the laughter of friends from across the internet.

This was just today.

Seeing people I love out in public and going over to say hi.

Joking with the cashier and giving them a reason to genuinely smile and laugh at work.

Hearing new music that I would never have guessed that I would like.

Dead people can't jump in puddles or see the sunrise or breath in the crisp cold air in the winter. I love those things therefor I keep living.

Oh and another one, I remember that the world has ended before and will end again and that people had meaningful lives and joyful days during the fall of every empire.

The way old ladies light up when you compliment their earrings or hair or the color of their clothes

Strawberries and pound cake from costco. Eating them while playing dnd with friends

Putting together Lego sets

Being hugged and kissed by my wife

Roller coasters

The sheer RELIEF of putting antihistamine eyedrops in my eyes when they itch

And also yeah, to agree with Nick @so-i-did-this-thing , cats.

Your favorite song playing on the radio on the drive to work

Someone trying to tell you a joke but they're making themselves laugh too hard to get the words out

Chocolate croissants and quiches

Making new work friends who match your freak

Rereading your favorite book for the 10th time, wrapping yourself in their words like a well loved blanket

Birds and birdsong

Making pancakes and watching cartoons with my family on Sunday mornings

And yes, cats are good

taking pictures of the sky and clouds

hearing the eye roll your sibling does over the phone at a purposeful cringy joke you told them

receiving a letter/package in the mail

feeling the sun on your skin on a cool day

waving hi at toddlers in the grocery store

the sounds of nature returning after a hurricane

the smile of strangers as you politely pass by each other

flowers blooming after a good rainfall

spooky earrings are up on Etsy shop! 👻

Happy Chanukah!!!

In celebration of the fist night of Hanukkah this year, I direct your attention to the Karasuno Second Years Hanukah Celebration I wrote last year.
