Redacted

I did all the bots at least I hope I didn’t forget anyone. I did forget about the party part though, sorry

•Jackie was actually helping you and Raf with your little project, because when you asked Ratchet if he wanted in on your “super weapon project” he wasn’t really interested

•Mostly because he thought you weren’t serious about it and you were building a potato gun or something

•Which would be a pretty fun thing to shoot the decepticons with tbh

•When Ratchet sees the three of you working on some kind of a device, he realizes you weren’t kidding

•Optimus doesn’t really encourage weapons experiments either and but you and Jackie assure him it’s not going to blow up

•While he does believe you, he still has a feeling this isn’t going to end well

•And it doesn’t, but the device does catch on fire and almost burns down the table it’s on too

•But it’s okay, because Jackie starts stomping on it and the fire goes out

•Of course then you have to start over

•When the so called super weapon is ready it pretty much looks like a big speaker

•And the smaller ones look pretty innocuous as well

•The smaller ones pretty much work like flash bangs, but it’s a big enough effect to be effective towards the cons

•Arcee is pretty skeptical about them actually working, and while she doesn’t mind Jackie or the other bots using them, she makes damn sure you and the trouble trio keep your hands off them

•They do end up being pretty effective though, but Arcee still doesn’t think humans should handle them, because if one of the flashbang things goes off you’d blind yourself

•Bulk is excited to try them out, because Wheeljack’s weapons are usually top notch

•Magnus thinks those things you built would not pass inspection and shouldn’t be used, since they could cause harm to the team as well

•The noise canon pretty much becomes Smokescreen’s favorite toy, because it’s seriously cool and very useful

•Bee and him tend to argue over who gets to use it, but then Arcee comes and takes it or herself, telling them if they can’t come to an agreement, she’ll use it

I was always frustrated how my P.E. teachers wanted all of us to go “all-or-none” and basically hurt ourselves without letting us build up from square-one like in the first gif.  Then they’d fuckin yell at us for not doing it right >:|

And remember, many exercises can be modified in this way! I did an image search for “modified pull up” and got exactly what I was looking for right away, which is this:

Doing pull ups on a lower bar, or from the straps with handles that gyms sometimes have (called the TRX - they can also be used to support yourself during squats and some balance exercises) is a lot easier than jumping straight into vertical pullups, and lets you build up that muscle with exercises that are still comfortable and safe for you, so you can do more sets of more reps.

The man in charge of public health at the time openly encouraged people to attend the victory parades. Other public health officials pleaded for people not to attend

The first wave killed 3-5 million. The second killed 20-50 million.

One aspect to the increased deaths during the second wave was people becoming infected at the same time. This led to a surge on hospitals hitting at the same time. Not only did those with the virus die before they could be treated, but non-infected emergencies were unable to be treated. This led to exponential death rates.

When the second wave hit, places like San Francisco refused to wear masks in public. They also stopped social distancing. San Francisco ended up with one of the highest fatality rates in the US.

Megatron

Megatron is intrigued by the concept of kissing when you explain it to him. The first kiss is just a peck on his bottom lip but it leads to many more. He takes his time in exploring it, going from sensual and passionate to startlingly gentle. He loves that he can so easily leave you breathless. Be warned, though - Megatron’s a biter. If you’re not into it, he’ll try his best not to draw blood, but you’re not leaving without several love bites.

Starscream

Starscream thinks it’s disgusting. Why are humans so obsessed with exchanging saliva? But one day, you kiss him without warning and it completely changes his opinion. Your kiss makes him feel cherished and he wants more, but won’t admit it. You have to ask him for a real kiss or it will never happen. Starscream’s kisses are soft in the beginning as he doesn’t want to hurt you, but can quickly become much more intense and emotional.

Soundwave

The best you’ll get from him early in the relationship is a soft digit stroking your face or forehead touch. Soundwave definitely knows of kissing but doesn’t initiate it until he trusts you to the point of taking off his mask for you. The first time he kisses you, it’s when you’re being too adorable not to kiss. Soundwave’s scarred lips are gentle against yours, making your heart pound and your head spin.

Knock Out

Dreadwing prefers to keep more amorous displays of affection private. He just doesn’t feel the need to flaunt your relationship and expose a weakness, especially around Starscream. But behind closed doors, he’s shockingly passionate and if it weren’t for his duties, he’d never let you go. Dreadwing knows he’s not the best at expressing emotion - he’s still shocked he could love another person so ardently - so until that point in time he can articulate how you make his spark race or that he would put his life on the line to ensure your safety, he’ll try to make you understand through his embrace.

Breakdown

Breakdown’s so excited to experience this weird act of human affection with you, it might be smart to calm him down before teaching him how to kiss. Out of all the cons, he’s the quickest to become obsessed with kissing and he doesn’t care who’s watching - he would like a smooch now, please. Most of the time it’s small, innocent pecks, but Knock Out still tells you two to get a room. He’s teasing of course, but Breakdown will take the opportunity to carry you out of the medbay and back to his quarters. 

Airachnid

Airachnid’s kisses are possessive, dominating, and always end up drawing blood. She fully embraces the primal aspects of it - marking you as hers on every piece of skin exposed to her, biting into the soft skin of your thighs, and kissing the tears that slip out when the pain gets to you. With time, Airachnid may become slightly softer with her affections. In between giving hickeys, she’ll play with your hair or rub your back comfortingly. It’s little things you start to notice but it’s progress nonetheless.
