I got to make some card art for @/gobernadoraph's mochidex bot on Discord! It's a supper fun bot so I highly suggest adding it to your server if you haven't yet already
Please tell me about the racist shockwave comic I’ve never seen an episode/movie of transformers in my life and I need to know lol
okay so! that comic was about transformers: earthspark
earthspark did something notable with shockwave by having him express a lot of emotion (mainly anger). shockwave was originally a sort of stoic scientist character and over time, his depiction has largely drifted towards "completely unfeeling" with some versions of shockwave having had his ability to feel emotions removed from his processor (brain) entirely, either by himself or another.
so everyone noticed when earthspark's shockwave showed up and said this about the terrans, with so much emotion:
the terrans, for context, are a group of transformers born on earth--biologically different from cybertronians, more equipped to survive on earth, and arguably including some human DNA, since they were forged after humans touched the emberstone. (the emberstone is a cybertronian religious artifact that is known to give life.)
this was an interesting place to take shockwave's character, which is why it was so disappointing when he teamed up with the terrans & co for the finale with basically no build up. the whole finale felt rushed and like they were trying to do a ton of things at once, like they ran out of time. it was probably impacted by the writer's strike as well.
for comparison, this was shockwave's whole schtick in transformers: prime, one of the most popular tf shows:

any decision he makes MUST be justified by logic. its his whole thing.
Anon are you aware that people can have parent's from different places/cultures? And are you aware that your grandparents can also be from different places/cultures? And are you also aware that no one on the internet needs to give you a breakdown of their entire family history and their ethnicity just to please you?
Anyways hope these jerks leave you alone and your inbox is just full of only love and fun little hetalia jokes soon
inshallah soon 🙏🙏
but yeah, i find it sucky that me being public about being Chinese means that any points or arguments i make can be swept aside to call me a wumao, or a race-faker :/// i mean, it’s unfortunately part of the modern landscape of being visibly a minority online, but it sucks to encounter it nevertheless.
Not any that I know of and a quick google search doesn’t make me any wiser either so I’m afraid we don’t :( but there’s places where you can get pancakes with maple syrup (I’ve had some in Budapest earlier this year 😋) and I could imagine that there’s like diners or food trucks where you can get poutine. Only in bigger cities though (*cough* Vienna *cough*)..
Austria’s eyes fluttered open as the sunlight hit them through the curtains. Groaning, he sits up and runs his fingers through his messy hair. Finally opening his eyes and seeing he’s in a strange place. Confused, he grabs his glasses and puts them on, then stands and looks around the room. Where is he?
Already 3.3 million hectares of land in Canada has been burning because of the extreme heat and dryness and it’s not even halfway through wildfires season. They’re actually predicting this will be the most destructive wildfire season in Canadian history. But most of what I’ve seen posted about these fires has to do with air quality. So I’ve decided to try and compile a list of resources to donate to help Canadians being affected at this time.
Alberta
The Red Cross which seems to have a donation page for most provinces. Both the Canadian and Alberta government will match each dollar of your donation.
Food Banks Alberta helping to feed those affected.
Disaster Aid Canada general help
Atlantic Canada
The Red Cross which if you donate to both the Canadian and the Nova Scotia government will match each dollar of your donation.
British Columbia
United Way BC supporting communities by giving them things such as food, mental health support, and shelter.
Food banks BC helping to feed those affected.
Canada as a whole
Unite for Change not directly donating to the fires but is working to make changes at a provincial and federal level to help fix the climate crisis which is directly making the fires worse.
Please tell me if you know of any other places taking donations to help either put out the fires or help the people affected. If any of these donation links are also donating to discriminatory policies or such like anti-trans legislation's please inform me so I can remove the link!
Quebec and Ontario links are especially wanted as I couldn't find anything for there and neither could my friend.
I think when someone gives you a genuine compliment that you weren't expecting, especially if it's someone you look up to.
Seeing my cat after not seeing him in a while
Random interactions with customers for some reason as well.
28. What about life makes you smile?
I guess that when you think about it there are some really cool people out there in the world. There's always something new everyone has stories, people are always creating, and always exploring, I find it kinda cool.
I find some of the Alfred Stans kinda annoying but that's just me since that's usually where i find the worst takes or just the eye rolling ones.
I've never dealt with them but Arthur stans I've heard the stories...
15. Any Juicy discord drama?
Not too much ( I left the anthology as it was a bit too chaotic and i just couldn't follow what was going one)
My main discord server only had a little drama which I'm not in the know but for the most part it's like the most chill server because of just how it's set up.
I only have 3 friends on discord which probably also helps a bit too!
