Going To Hell...Who's Coming With Me?

I'm not even saying I won't enjoy it. I'm just saying that every trailer I see for Beast Hunters makes my DNW meter rise a little higher.

Luckily, I have coconut rum and I know how to use it.

One of the players in my TFP RP drew a portrait of my character. She did it in just a few hours. IT IS AMAZING.

( It is also under the cut, though it's not really very big. )

THAT HELM DESIGN DEAR GOD I CAN'T GET OVER IT.

It is: If you want to enjoy a show, do not engage with fandom, just cling to the safety of your dwircleflist.

This post brought to you by my rapidly dwindling tolerance for "I hate Miko/Arcee/Airachnid" comments. Though at least the Miko haters usually have comprehensible reasons; Arcee and Airachnid seem to "just rub me wrong" or "[laundry list of traits which the guys share, but which somehow are okay if the character is not presented as female]".

Having a new episode to discuss should not make me feel so...weary.

TRULY, I NEVER APPRECIATED THE BENEFITS OF BEAST WARS NOT HAVING AN ACTIVE FANDOM.

And fuck, am I glad I've never felt the urge to hunt down communities for Voltron Force or Thundercats or GI Joe Renegades.

Eh, at least this confirms that I will never be posting any of my TF fic to any comms but beastwars_100. Wouldn't want to get girl cooties on anyone. *vows that no matter what this week's prompt is, drabbles will be all Airazor&Blackarachnia all the time*

Edit: And then for my own mental health, I dropped the tf_prime community from my reading list, because somehow, no matter the topic of the episode, some people find excuses to bash Arcee and Airachnid. But not because they're femmes, of course. Just because they suck and can do nothing right.

Which, apparently, translates into...wanting to write classic!T-cats fic. (I do expect this to change once we have more episodes.) There is a really good chance that if I write, it will be some sort of fusion in which Cheetara kicks ass and saves the boys kind of a lot. My levels of "Cheetara Cheetara CHEETARA!" are matched only by my levels of "I would jump Tygra in a heartbeat." Since I was never a Tygra girl, I find the latter rather...disturbing. (For the record, I would also jump Cheetara in a heartbeat, but that, I consider a given.)

Classic!T-cats was second to Classic!GI Joe in my younger days (I won't say childhood because I don't think high school counts), and yet I've never written GI Joe fic or wanted to, despite the level of awesome GI Joe Renegades reached. Likewise, no desire to write Voltron fic (actually, I think Voltron Force counts as "what happened next" Voltron fic, complete with OCs, and I mean that in the best possible way.)

(Meanwhile, I want ALL the Transformers Prime fic, even though my interest in G1 is...well, is limited to the fact that G1 is what most of the people I read, write. I'm sure I watched G1 because it was there, but truth is, I doubt I could pick more than a dozen characters out of a lineup. I feel somewhat guilty for this, like I'm somehow failing at fandom for liking the reboot instead of the original, rather than in addition to, but...hell, I came into Transformers through Beast Wars, I'm already the red-headed stepchild in this fandom.)

No, this post really doesn't have a point. It's late, I'm rambling, reboots are awesome, Thundercats needs to bring in Pumyra so I can write femslash. The end.

Edit: Today's fic_promptly theme is "female characters." This may have been slightly relevant to my interests.

Edit2: Yeah, I pretty much could have kept going all night - I really don't joke when I say it's all girls all the time around here - but a) it's 1:30 and I have work tomorrow, and b), I think once you've prompted for a Blackarachnia vs Airachnid one-upsmanship competition, it's time for bed. It should be noted I really, really, REALLY want someone to write that for me, by the way.

Have the opening snippet of my TFP/QL crossover.

( Say it with me, everyone...Ohhhhhh boy. )

Allll Shadow and Knock Out did was zoom around my head and flirt with each other.

Today, when I actually have time to sit down and write? Nothing. Zip, zilch, nada, complete radio silence.

Fucking cars.

( So instead, I spent a portion of my 750 words fucking with Ratchet. Not literally, of course. )

Yes, I am weird, thank you for noticing.

At least, that was my solution tonight. Next time might be different.

( Behold Airazor and Tigatron going 'buh?' at the Autobot base! )

So far, every reaction I've seen to the description of the next episode of TF Prime has been a variation on "went to the porn place, brb."

( The description in question. )

There really IS a fangirl on staff, isn't there?

( On the other hand, it's also not a 'I would quit watching, but the series is so close to over there's no point' post, or a 'I would quit watching, but I have *got* to see if they can salvage any of this bullshit' post. )

Short form: Didn't LOVE it, but didn't hate it; still watching.
