canonize women. make an effort to learn about great women and give them the respect and recognition they should have had all along.
how many times have you heard phrases like “he’s the mozart of coding” “he’s einstein-levels of brilliant” “he’s the new mark zuckerberg/elon musk/steve jobs/bill gates” “he was out of there faster than usain bolt” “focusing with bobby fischer-like intensity” “innovative like shakespeare” and so on and so on and so on?
how many exceptional men have become so easily recognized as brilliant that their names become symbols for greatness itself? how many exceptional women are ever even acknowledged, much less known widely enough to get the same treatment?
canonize women. mention exceptional women and act like it’s a travesty (because it is!) that their contributions aren’t known.

Also I'm just gonna say that even if it were true that Rodimus was a """""true Prime"""" and Optimus wasn't, that isn't as much of an L for Optimus as people seemingly want it to be.
Like so you're telling me Optimus was never a chosen hero and the burden of the Matrix/leadership pained him morally, emotionally, and physically, yet he still survived 4 million years of war?
You're telling me he wasn't God's Designated Special Boy but he still tried his best to live up to that impossible ideal to the point of developing serious depression and suicidal ideation as a result of so much goddamn loneliness and self-doubt?
Optimus wasn't a "true Prime" and yet he still believed in ideals of reconciliation and ending the cycle of violence? He wasn't a true Prime but he still stayed on Cybertron trying to fix a broken, broken society while also trying to stop Earth from being invaded for a second time? He didn't even need to do that he could've just stayed in exile which he was originally supposed to do all along, and which he would've personally preferred?? You're telling me that Optimus wasn't Primus' Specialest Boy And Chosen Leader and yet he stepped into leadership anyways bc he perceived that there was injustice to be fixed??
Wow yeah I guess Optimus is just such an inferior leader, clearly his actual actions/moral character as person don't matter and his "worthiness" should be judged solely on whether the Magic Cybertronian 8 Ball liked him or not.

Josh and Sam’s Chemistry
I’m of the opinion that, even though they have less screen time together than UD’s established couples and aren’t explicitly romantic, Josh and Sam have better chemistry than most of the other Until Dawn couples. And I’m not playing here. I felt this in my bones, and I am now PREPARED to defend it with paragraphs upon paragraphs analyzing this game’s character writing.
Someone on Reddit tried to make fun of me for this opinion by saying Josh/Sam barely have any interaction. But what was not considered here is that I’m a petty bitch and am COUNTING THE LINES IN THE TRANSCRIPT NOW. Anyway, I’m more than half through the game, and currently Sam and Josh are both in each other’s TOP TWO for dialogue shared. Chris is there fighting for both their attention like mad though 😂. It’s very close so far. Like cooooome on, I’m not arguing that we have any canonical proof Josh and Sam are romantic. We don’t. But to say they don’t have very memorable interaction with each other….? Stuff and NONSENSE.

Give me all of the thoughts you have on those three and I will give you cute cat video (threat)
OKAY SO. its been a hot minute since ive done anything outside of writing the already established shorts for Exile, so this might be a lil lacking in what i usually put into these. But i promise its got more of plenty else! my brain has been zoomed ALL the way in on getting every single floof in warframe (i have all but like. 5. and those are all from Venus. please help)
Drifter. Drifter Drifter. He does NOT want to get attached and Shin and laughing at him the whole time. That man knew exactly what he was doing when he dragged Drifter into this and feels no regret. You might even get a rare smile (albeit smug) from him when talking about it.
It may not have been the most moral thing to do; using Drifter's experiences with the Nine to trap him into doing something insanely dangerous--But he's fine now, and he barely even came out with a bruise. Besides, the whole system should be glad Shin did that. At least now, Wolf has some direction.
It's not the most moral thing, yet again, to point Wolf at enemies again--A weapon, again--but it's what they needed. Horrible thing to need, the exact thing you need to get away from. But they have to want to get away from it enough to leave, first, and they can't get to that point without it. Wolf has to be a weapon to know what to do with themself, now. They spiral without it, and Ghost takes far too long to realize it--And refuses to acknowledge it when he does.
But they need an outlet, and the City still needs them. Two birds with one stone (though Wolf might object to that specific phrase). Think of the greater picture, Shin might ask.
That's why now, after a life removed from the bigger picture, I'm risking everything I am on a simple bet—that you are different. That you are better. Than me. Than them
This is what I want—need—you to understand. Your path is not your own. It is shared. It has impact. It carries consequence and creates wake, both obvious and unseen. And the path you're currently walking is… concerning. For yourself, whether you see it or not. More importantly, for others.
Have you considered this?
Shin is much more attached than he sounds (thank you autofill for recommending "attractive"), trying to both guide them and keep at a distance. Not that he ends up doing the greatest job.
Drifter, on the other hand, is more or less his typical self--If much more... put-off by the whole thing, at least for the first while. He gets used to Wolf's tendencies, and how Ghost and Shin try to direct it, so they don't catch themself too far in their own crossfire (not that its effective, but the two try. Thank the Light for Crow coming around).
But Wolf is still unnerving, maybe because they remind him and the states he was stuck in. Maybe because it's-- Well, not willingly. But the things they put themself through that they don't have to? So, maybe there's resentment, or maybe he just doesn't understand and maybe they don't exactly help much of anyone understand. Maybe they're unnerving because of their eyes, because of how they hold themself (a kicked dog.), because of the fighting spirit, the determined heart, reduced to the mere haunting of someone who was before.
Maybe it's pity. Maybe he doesn't want someone else to end up like him, or the people he's known throughout his far too long history.

Drabbles??? How about mac and jack and birthdays. Idk. You do what you want with this :))
for you? a GA drabble to prepare you for the next GA drabble <3
Mac doesn’t really know why he thought about it, or even how it popped into his head, but it did. Out of everything that’s distinctly Not Human about Jack, birthdays were not something that Mac ever thought he’d have to worry about.
And he still doesn’t, not really. But he’s curious enough about it that he can’t help himself.
So one night, bad leg stretched out on the couch while one of his hands massages his thigh, Mac asks, “Do you have a birthday?” Mac probably should’ve realized something was off sooner, but given his distaste for his own birthday, the whole celebration thing had just slipped his mind for the past half a dozen years.
“No,” Jack easily replies, as if he was expecting the question.
“What would you have said if I asked you this before I figured out… y’know. You.”
“Picked a random day and stuck with it. Jack Dalton—the actual dude—has a birthday. Woulda just used his.”
“Ah.” Mac swallows. Admittedly, he’s still warming up to the fact that Jack has been parading around in some dead guy’s body.
“Don’t really matter now though, does it?”
Mac nods a few times, glancing between his leg and Jack before settling on the latter. “Do you… want a birthday? To like… celebrate?”
“What’s this about?”
“Nothing. Honestly, Jack, nothing,” Mac adds, rolling his eyes at his partner’s face. “I was just- I don’t know. I know you like being human Or at least human-adjacent. I figured a birthday part might be something that you’re into.”
This time, Jack grins. “I didn’t say ‘no’ to it.”

Ship that is most misunderstood: 💢
Hmm, none in particular I think, but I do think its incredibly funny how people bend and shape characters so that ships work out but won't do a single bit of work for canon ships. LIke they just take everything thats IN canon and judge the ship based on that instead of like.. adding their own parts like they do with other ships. Does that make sense? LIke I'm just saying, you can make them be whatever you want, even if they are canon in the story, but it seems like people are not willing too
