If I ran a chronicle in or around LA I would just go "Sebastian LaCroix survived and is in torpor in some shitty sewer somewhere
Covered in shit"
But babe you love being gaslit
fun facts about ukrainian vampires (opyr)
• opyri can be of two origins: born and made. made opyri are made by witches, who can smear a baby with blood of a man who went to sleep without praying, thus making the child an opyr.
• opyri have two souls. when opyr dies, only one soul goes to the otherworld. this is why they continue living after death. they aren't immortal though, and only live post-death for seven years. you can presume the person who died was an opyr and will return later if right after their death was a great storm.
• they are very merry fellas and are known to sing, dance and play musical instruments. you can see them partying if you go to the village border at midnight. they also can be spotted smoking a pipe while laying in their coffin.
• opyr can turn into variety of different things: a child, a white or a black dog, a cat, a wolf, a horseman.
• if someone sneezes and you don't respond with "bless you" such person can become an easy target for opyr.
• to get rid of the opyr, you must take them into your arms and carry them across the town or village three times. classical stake to the heart works too.
realest shit
this sucks so bad i need to (remembers suicide jokes only make my mental health worse) recover the Ankaran sarcophagus
sometimes a family is you, a college student with a side shave and a hero complex, a music producer who doesn’t know how to keep a secret, a hot, haunted fashion designer, her bizarre psychosexual relationship with her perfume line, an ugly bald asshole, his rotating cast of black hoodies, an albino witch with extremely questionable taste in men, a businesswoman with a karen cut, a high schooler who played a plague tale: innocence one time and decided hugo had the right idea, a white cop who everyone thinks is trustworthy for some reason, 3 concerningly hardcore harry potter stans, a boomer with multicoloured hair, and some weird guy who lives on the beach and needs therapy more than any of his friends and associates combined
Honestly, I understand the fandom's skepticism about RiD2015 (even though I don't share it at all lmao), but I still find it interesting to think about the Aligned Universe as something unified, even if Hasbro made a lot of plot and lore holes. For example, Sideswipe was originally supposed to be another character named Fastlane, but he was given the name Sideswipe for marketing purpose. Does this mean it's the same Sideswipe that was in WFC and the novels? People are quick to say no, but realistically there could be a ton of reasons why they are so different from each other. After all, it wasn't canonically debunked like with Grimlock, who isn't the same Grimlock from WFC and has a real name Steelwall.
I personally like to think that it's the same Sideswipe just because it could make him cooler haha
As for the reasons: my personal headcanon is that Sideswipe may have been one of the many Autobots who used mnemosurgery after the war. Removing traumatic memories must've been in demand on Cybertron both during and after the war (in the IDW universe it was also practiced before the war). Maybe the procedure just didn't go well and he «regressed» in a way, but I prefer to think that this was Sideswipe's original personality before the war, that he was like that until it changed him.
I don't think that referring to Sideswipe as a «teenager» or «kid» necessarily hints at his exact age – I mean, Bumblebee was called and treated like that himself 5 years ago in TFP. Maybe he just found someone to take it out on, haha (granted, it's Strongarm who could be an actual teenager, since we don't know anything about her past, she's a new character).
Most bots, from elders like Ratchet, or young ones like Bumblebee, chose to keep their memories to themselves, but Sideswipe may have had his own reasons for deciding to forget about it, and I probably even know which one.
At the end of season 3, Autobots loyal to Optimus appeared on the Council's blacklist and were declared outlaws, but among them was the already dead Tailgate.
Perhaps the compilers of the list simply didn't know about it and included him by mistake. Sideswipe's brother, Sunstreaker, also appeared among them, and... who said he 100% survived the war? I mean, maybe he did, but also – maybe his death was the reason Sideswipe couldn't bear the memories about it and everything related to it.
It's not even necessary that Sideswipe went through the war completely: we don't know where he was between RoTDS and the events of Prime. He could effectively be anywhere: on the other side of the galaxy or lying in stasis on a desolate Cybertron. But when Cybertron was restored and the Autobots returned to a peaceful life, maybe then he realized that he couldn't live like this and used mnemosurgery. That's why he never mentioned Sunny.
Now, I said that the operation might not have been entirely successful (this is a very difficult technique both for the patient and for the mnemosurgeon himself, after all) and instead of completely removing the memories, they could simply be suppressed. That's why he still exhibits the abandonment issues throughout the series and gets clingy after couple of traumatic events in episode 62 – something that could trigger the memories from Sunny's death.
But this also plays out on the other side: when he met Jazz, he began to fanboy over him not only because he was looking for his approval and role model and a crush, but also because it could be «Wow! Wait a minute, I recognize him!🤩», since it's the same guy with whom he beheaded Bruticus Maximus and brought the Autobots their first victory in the war.
Why he specifically disliked Optimus - I don’t know, but since I myself am not a fan of TFP Optimus, I don’t need a reason at all :D
His body design differs significantly from the design in the games (unlike the design of other characters, whose differences are purely stylistic): he, like Starscream, could buy himself a new body in order to «move» into it with a «cleared» mind. Well, we see how did that work out for him.
...that, or he's really just a new character with the same name. But, eh, we already have Grimlock in this team with the «really popular name among dinobots», I honestly find this explanation really boring, as well as the impersonation take. But that's just me, I dunno 🤷🏼♀️
(324) Your name is Escapement. You picked it yourself, because when there's nobody else to assign significance to your existence, you might as well do it yourself.
You are a Decepticon vehicon.
You don't know much, but, contrary to what your commanding officer reckons, even vehicons do know some stuff. For instance, here's a list of vital information you knew this morning:
Life is not fair.
Extenuating circumstances, second chances and begging for your life are privileges for officers only. You're a grunt, so failure means death. The end.
Any mission to destroy Optimus Prime is a suicide mission from the start.
The Decepticon war machine doesn't pay you to ask questions or backtalk. (They don't pay you at all.)
And by midnight, you also know some totally new but equally vital information:
When Megatron assigns you a mission to kill Optimus Prime, you are absolutely, categorically, not actually meant to kill Optimus Prime.
But it's too late to be learning new information now, isn't it? Even your CO looks pitying when he tells you to report to Megatron for your reward...
THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING FOR YEARSSSS
I swear it's my last bsd meme
I perfectly understand that Dark Cacao Kingdom is based on Ancient Korea, but since Affogato's clothing design is a mixture of Chinese and Korean ceremonial attire, and Affogato himself is a magician and a priest teacher, can we call him Grandmaster of Doughmonic Cultivation?
I'm about to say something that got me roasted in the Cyrillic part of the transformers fandom but idc anymore I still stand by it, some of you guys are not ready for the conversation that you greatly overestimate the greatness of Tf Prime show because of your childhood memories and the majority of the fandom is absolutely shitty to RiD 2015 for no other reasons than "ew the picture is no longer turned up to contrast/saturation -210, how can I now pretend that I’m watching a serious show in transformers 😔⛓️🥀" and overall look like this:
