Reborn Tumblr of Rosanna P. Brost; this place is more informal than my twitter so expect to see posts about Transformers and paleontology, my other loves besides my graphic novel KNIFE EDGE and of course my fantasy stuff (Rimer.) To read KE (freee although donations are deeply appreciated) check out my Ko-fi! Also... bewarned, if you search far enough back here you'll see old posts from when I was younger and significantly dumber.
Honey bunches of Pit, yes!! Starscream looking absolutely fantastic in his crown with Shockwave and Soundwave in the background. You can almost hear Starscream demanding what the Pit ol' Buckethelm is doing back.
The Transformers: One Movie
I've been somewhat out of the loop due to limited energy levels for anything remotely social, but last Friday my brother Kevin had me take a closer look at the trailer for the new animated Transformers: One movie. On Twitter all I had seen of it was an animated .GIF of its title sequence which I shrugged off thinking that it was yet another Bay-like live action film (the only Transformers live action film that has earned my love is Bumblebee.)
This was my initial hyperactive fangirly reaction to the longer version of the trailer shared on Transformers 2005 which I wrote in reply to my brother Kevin, which is basically comprised of me squealing excitedly in capslock:
I am over the moon that this movie is all about Cybertron, and that just like in Earthspark we're going to see a kinder take on Megatron! (And yay Optimus as Orion Pax and the eternal badassery that is Elita-1.)
As usual, I'm bored to tears of seeing Bumblebee as a protagonist at this point and was disgruntled that he was acting like our beloved Rodimus, but my brother's spot on in what he replied, that unfortunately Bumblebee's just a fixture at this point. (He also admitted to Bumblebee fatigue.)
I'm not into certain aspects of the movie's design but I wasn't into Transformers: Prime initially either and now I'm utterly addicted to Transformers and write long winded fanfictions about it thanks to TFP having been my gateway drug. I'm extremely excited to see this film, and as for my disappointment over not seeing Starscream in the initial cut of the trailer that I watched, well, today I ran across this version!
And not only do we get a very droolworthy shot of our beloved screechy flyboy wearing his crown in this trailer, there's also this very brief shot of Skywarp being awesome!
I still have no idea who this green dude is (I might be derping from lack of sleep since I spent most of last night writing the climax and part of the denoumont of my fic Rise Up,) but maybe he's just a rando? Anyway, I'm super stoked, and I can't wait to watch this movie in theatres and support Transformers animation!
(The best way to tell the uncaring rich that we want more interesting Transformers movies like this one which don't follow the same rote script of Cybertronians arriving on Earth is by watching the films legally to support their creators!)
Looking over the trailer again, I have to say I actually like the faces now! And the style! I'm absolutely thriled to see Cybertron finally portrayed as a vibrant, beautiful world, complete with mechanimals!
Oceanic Whitetip Sharks are not diurnal which means they are active both day and night. They rely on ram breathing (they have to constantly swim to pump oxygen over their gills), so they never sleep. They are nicknamed the “Dark Knight of the Ocean” (<- -- I appreciate this nickname because I love Batman lol) because they tend to hunt mostly at nighttime. Though they are primarily nocturnal, they will opportunistically feed during the day if an easy meal presents itself.

israel is invading rafah today while everyone will be distracted by the oscars. don’t let yourself be distracted, keep eyes on rafah, keep eyes on palestine.
This is legallizing MURDER and it is genuinely horrifying; what the actual fuck, Murica, your job is to prevent bullshit like this from happening. A few people wandering across the border to do jobs that you do not even want to do are NOT HARMING YOU. (Btw: those jobs tend to be on land that y'all STOLE FROM MEXICO.)
As a reminder: in the Americas, unless you are of 100% indigenous ancestry* YOU ARE OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT STOCK. I dearly doubt that any indigenous nation was particularly willing to share after they got their first taste if the colonial jackassery known as 'manifest destiny' (not to mention the literal plagues that our dumbass ancestors imported in.)
*And yes, indigenous folks did technically immigrate here too originally but as that originally happened between 16-50 THOUSAND YEARS AGO (which is as close as one can get to the definition of the word 'forever,') they're fully environmentally naturalized/adapted to the Americas which all us non-indigenous folks are simply not.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us.
Anyone?
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Anyone?
Forgive trespasses. Deliver us from the evil of killing people. Don't temp others to kill.
The religious conservatives in Arizona who wrote this bill are killing Christians. But since they are Mexican Christians, it does not count.
