TFATWS Ending

Watching ep1 of TFATWS (because I'm a masochist) and I swear when Raynor and Bucky are discussing the amends and she says "So, you did it all right, but it didn’t help with the nightmares" I can't help but facepalm myself so hard.

Of course it doesn't help with the nightmares you doofus, it's making them worse.

First you tell Bucky he has to make amends, basically telling him he's responsible for the WS murders and aggravating his guilt. Then you make him go after corrupt people who have achieved some form of power thanks to Hydra and you make him approach them, face them, tell them his name and if that wasn't bad enough he has to reassure them that he's no longer the Winter Soldier and "they're part of his efforts to make amends".

I'm going to say this again: you're making him tell these people who benefited from Hydra and abused the power Hydra gave them that he's no longer the WS and he's just trying to be good this time.

Basically he's reliving his trauma, he's reassured everything he did was his fault, you're not addressing his mental state at all and you just want him to follow 3 stupid steps so he can prove to be the little obedient soldier you want him to be. And fuck his mental health, I guess.

I'm sure many people have talked about this already but I needed to vent. I swear that line gets on my damn nerves.

Introduction to the Project

I’m currently running a group project via Discord known as “Grand Crossover Worldbuilding”. In this project, we take various series and attempt to combine them together into a cohesive whole. 

The project is democratically run. The series included are determined via vote. Using the series that have been voted in as building blocks, participants write up pitches which describe the world and how it is set up. These pitches are then put up for a vote, and if they pass they are added to our canon document. I will be posting the contents of that document on the blog gradually.

The project is open to new members at any date via the link below:

Oof, that’s mistake #1. Never underestimate Megs even if he’s Mini.

Has Grimlock ever gotten in a fight with Megatron?

Yes. It didn’t end well for him (He underestimated Megs since Megs is smaller than him. He had to tag OP in).

He’s still quite sore about it.

There are a lot of little lines in TFA that sort of tip you off that something isnt quite right with the "heroic autobots" and it just gets more pronounced once you've noticed it. Like everything about Optimus's speech in the first episode. "We're all cogs in the great big autobot machine." Emphasizing the needs of the collective over everything else (and notice that this is apparently something he says a lot. Something he's internalized). "Don't try to be a hero, it's not in your programming." Idk bro sounds like functionism to me. But probably the most unsettling line is Ratchet's implication that they can just.. delete emotions. Just run a program and bam! That feeling of dissatisfaction with your lot in life? Gone. Thats a big old red flag if Ive ever seen one.

His new bio😂

For people just finding out about Ali,he used to be a cop in Chicago but left after realizing how corrupt the system was.

I don’t know if these cops were unable to stop this murder, because they chose not to try.

An entire classroom was murdered while these fucking cowards tased and handcuffed the parents of those children who were begging these fucking useless men to do their fucking jobs.

Stop telling me I’m supposed to blindly support cops. These cowards want to cosplay as soldiers, and when the public they are supposed to serve needed them, they hid and showed us exactly who they are. Every one of these cops is complicit in these murders, and they should be held accountable for their inaction.

This is what happens when people become cops so they can bully and harass people with impunity. Thee cowards aren’t going to risk their lives for anyone. They’re cosplaying.

This police force gets FORTY PERCENT of the city’s budget. This tiny town has a SWAT team. That wasn’t enough to save these children and their teachers.

Fuck the police.
