[sticky entry] Sticky: Introduction post

Yo. I have no idea how to write introductions.
I used to mostly post just on tumblr but due to a lot of reasons I’ve been checking out different sites.

Fandom List (rotating): Kirby, Sonic, Precure, Mega Man (Classic, a bit of X), Megaman Battle Network, FF14, Transformers, Yugioh, Cookie Run, Miitopia, MapleStory, Pokemon, Percy Jackson, Dragalia Lost, Live A Live, Cave Story.

I use the same name on both cohost (RIP) and pillowfort as well where I tend to crosspost my fics, WIPs, and snippets. I’ll probably just be reposting my stuff from pillowfort and then ao3 afterwards and see how using dreamwidth goes from there. Seems like it’ll be fun, reminds me of livejournal.

 Notion isn’t getting me back on there since I found Ellipsus! That might be the best site for me since it’s free and allows for cross devices. Google docs used to do that but I never liked it, too clunky.

Current TF headcanons

So the current transformers thing is going somewhat well, I’m taking it a bit slower then I thought though. Still haven’t read through many comics but I ended up reading through the Skybound comics, it’s totally awesome!
Night and Day though when I’m still watching through Season 2 of the sunbow cartoon though. I also watched through the machinima prime wars/combiner wars show and that one was alright, I guess. I watched some of the live action movies too but I didn’t really like them very much aside from the 1st one and the other two I didn’t see yet since they weren’t on my service.

I’ll probably watch the Netflix War for Cybertron show next. Idk.

Anyways, here’s like, my current headcanons that I’ve just been making up as I watch shows. Somehow they’re gonna be way off base from what everyone else is working with and also probably get contradicted by later shows as I watch them. I am not in the fandom and also barely reading any of the fics yet, I’m gonna say something so off base somehow.


G1 cartoon current headcanons


    The 2nd in command position keeps switching because it’s not set in stone but my current contenders are Jazz and Ratchet (Jazz for the movies, Ratchet for the G1 Cartoon)
    Prowl was a lawyer on Cybertron and just got the cop car
    Barricade and Prowl had a rivalry at one point (this is just me making one up based on that G1 Prowl is a cop car and that Movie Barricade was also a cop car)
    Prowl is the only guy on the team currently aware of the internet and does IMs with Chip ever since that one episode
    Mixmaster and various other characters like cats (example: Starscream based on skybound, me being a little silly and looking at Mm’s helmet and going “cat”, Soundwave and Ravage)
    I think the decepticons try to pull pranks on each other to varying levels and degrees of harm such as: stealing medical supplies, daring each other to go into increasingly stupid things (go in mixmaster’s drum, go hang out in soundwave’s room and see if he doesn’t notice) but also they’re increasingly dysfunctional and just randomly jump and attack each other.
    Ravage can talk but just chooses not to
    Wheeljack and Ratchet are married and the dinobots are their “kids” (at least for the g1 cartoon canon)
    Skyfire and Starscream did not get married but there was a proposal being considered before the incident with the ice. Very sad, it never happened and now they are like turbo divorced.
    Various characters that turn into common cars occasionally end up being cryptids humans by just driving around without any driver inside (I know that in the movies there is a human form they can like mimic, but I think the concept of ghost cars is funnier)
    Completely ignoring that I’ve seen TFone, I think the general part of the war’s origin is one day megatron showed up from nowhere and started being an asshole and that escalated into a full blown civil war


Machinima (Prime Wars)


    Rodimus spends a large time of his recovery period post Machinima combiner wars just wandering around retracing his steps from when he was Cron, unfortunately haunted by visages and memories of his era with Overlord. Not helping is my other headcanon that Overlord walked off the blast so whenever he’s like “sometimes I still see him” it’s literally actually just the real Overlord. Haunted by cowboy.
    Whatever Machinima ghost Starscream was going to do is immediately halted by Windblade seeing him being a ghost and then he gets unceremoniously thrown into the well of all sparks. That doesn’t get rid of him though so he just ends up on parole back on the council where Perceptor and Windblade and Optimus and Primal are in charge.
    The writing decision to kill Megatron at the end is also reversed and he wakes up in the cybertronian swamp being like “what the hell.”
    Not much else I can say for this one because there’s literally like nobody else in the cast like everyone else pretty much died unceremoniously.

As I work through looking through my old files, I’m finding a lot of stuff I completely forgot I wrote fic adjacent stuff for. Generally I tend to write and complete on average more one shots in short fic format or vignettes. I’m also a prompter and idea generator, lately I’ve been trying to get into solo RP which explains why there’s so much floating dialogue. Most things here will be rated G to T if I ever finish up. I think the reason I mostly go with one shots is because I personally hate reading a good story that ends off on a cliffhanger. I’ve seen far too many of those on FF.net to count.

I think when I do monthly check ins I’ll start posting everything so my new deadline at the moment is Jan 31st.

 I’m still awake even though I have an early appointment tomorrow (well, today now…). Turns out that you can disable the AI now on Notion? Last time I looked there was no opt out. I’m posting this to remind myself to check it out first thing in the morning.

New Years, Old Tales

Can you believe it? The new year’s is here!

I’ve already written about it a bit on my neocities journal page and updated my goals list, but as for publishing, my major goal at the moment is finding a nice shiny new app or going back to an old one for the sake of my writing. I had such a nice notion dashboard I completely abandoned once notion started up it’s own machine learning thing and google docs are like the defacto “it’s reading your writing” thing so despite the fact that it doesn’t have cross compatibility in the slightest I’m switching back to obsidian.

This will probably work out better in the long run if I just have all my stuff on a single device and then figure out the issue of syncing up later on, you know? My issue is more of an issue of switching between so many different devices carrying so many concepts and juggling them all in a way that isn’t exactly the most useful sort of thing. Too busy looking at the leaves of the tree versus the actual damn tree.



Any WIPs in mind?
Not exactly. I had a few I’ve posted about here, but everything’s being put on the back burner as I go through this file dump of getting all my notes sorted through and then getting them off my computer so I can have them on my tablet because I’ve pretty much made this thing my default laptop at this point. Sorry, computer! Sorry, WIPs! Writing Winter’s all about me looking through everything I’ve made from middle to high school to college and figuring out what’s salvageable and what’s going straight into an ideas prompt page! I do want to write transformers fanfiction at some point but I don’t know the units of time and they scare me. Anything else? I made an OC page on neocities but it’s pretty barebones at the moment. I’m probably making my microblog thing on there a biweekly sort of thing instead of daily. I really want my priority this year to be actually creating things and having fun versus always saying “I’ll do it when I can” the stars will never align, I just gotta do it!

Snippet pt. 2

I spent a while thinking of how to continue this dialogue but I got tired :(
So I just outlined it instead.

Transformers Snippet feat. Jem and the Holograms

I had a dream about this. Script format because I woke up and started scripting it based on the parts from the dream. I will finish the second half later once I figure out if it’s going to be a Jem centric scene or continue to be just the transformers.

Transformers and Time

Been rewatching Jem and the Holograms. I’ve always wondered if that franchise is feasible for any kind of reboot especially when we have such things like holograms through vocaloids and vtubers and virtual idols. Too bad the live action reboot and comic are super dead. In my mind since I’ve been watching transformers too and my brain keeps going “oooh you wanna write a Jem crossover where Synergy’s a cybertronian computer like Teletran-1” and I have to gently usher that plot bunny into a fence alongside other stray transformers thoughts until I get further into the show. I’ve been meaning to read through the various comics as well but the difficult thing about comics is that when the license is gone they become scarce to find and transformers has been through quite a few different publishers (Marvel, Dreamwave, IDW)… I have the unfortunate habit of being like “I wanna start from the 1st iteration” so while I’ve heard the Skybound comics are good, I’m over here trying to figure out if I read through the UK Marvel comics since they have additional comics added in. I also downloaded a clash of clans ripoff (Earth wars) since I need something to do in my free time that isn’t just rotating between shows. I wonder how much more transformers stuff I’ll be able to get through before the year ends…

Academia: Varied Studies of Pokemon (7/26)

Would you look at that, actually looking through my notes app actually got me something that I had completed. I think I talked about this once in terms of wanting to write a fic that was an academic essay for pokemon. Might become a series, might not.

Bunny Break

Alright, it’s been an hour, taking a briefing. I’m the type to always say they’ll use the pomodoro timer and then never do it but this time actually worked pretty well unlike all my attempts through college or word sprints… I already mentioned this once before but speedrunning the writing process is not it. Anyways, here’s my current writing winter agenda if anyone’s curious: I already found a ton of story concepts/docs/files on my hard drive and various flash drives ranging from a very long time that I would love to make into actual stories or comics rather than just outlines. The problem is that a lot of that would require cross compatible devices since I write on everything but my computer these days which leads into the problem that I was having with the multiplying plot bunnies: everything I’ve written for a few years has mostly been through my notes apps and everything I was using prior to the notes apps got saddled with Machine Learning companions. Like I used notion for a while for FF14? Can’t do that. I barely even use it for my online classes either. I will continue doing what I’m doing with herding plot bunnies and getting them off my standard notes app because it was basically the same thing as using a notes app anyways.

Bunny Lassoing

I’d like to say I’m being greatly productive with my writing currently, but what I’m doing is essentially being a herder listening to Crocodile Cacophony and lassoing the hell out of my snippets and plot bunnies and threads of various fandoms and original story drafts to fence the bunnies in instead of just having sentences floating out in the void causing them to multiply. I believe this is what my peers refer to as “locking in.”

Monthly Check in 1 (End of November)

Monthly check in! I’m still watching transformers stuff. My Megaman idea is still there but I’m making it OC based on the dos games.

In terms of neocities, I’m doing a monthly maintenance thing where more or less I had the great idea (sarcasm) to make a splash page meaning I have to reupdate the entire site again. Terrible idea, I have to revise everything again.

So much to do, so little time. I wanna finish that up and then not worry about the site again! I was supposed to be done in September...

No November

Well, that's everything I've ever posted that was something I wrote.

Anyways, like I said on my dead cohost, I'm not doing NaNo.

I might do short story November but we're halfway through November and I haven't really done much.

Maybe like a daily drabble that's 200 words or something that's actually words and not just a phone note.

Novel November is like, 1000 words per day, but I don't want to think about the word count as much as I want to make something.
What I need to do is pick a prompt and just write something, even if it's a few sentences. Better than nothing.

Febhyurary Collection 2023

This was probably the most I've made on writing out promptwise for a single character that wasn't the ask blog, and it was Pepper who's basically been a joke character.

Tales from The Nameless Chapter 1 (reupload)

Ensemble stories based on prompts that tend to feature non descriptive people of Eorzea getting into shenanigans that I find entertainment value in. Maybe this will be the thing I go ahead with for making FF14 posts since I haven't really touched MSQ in a while since I was goofing around too much.
