Not that I don’t like Cyberverse or IDW Hot Rod/Rodimus, but can we get another version of him more akin to his g1 counterpart?
It’s fine having him be a hotshot and all, but I want to see him in his depression arc/imposter syndrome arc, or whatever he’s got going on in Season 3

whoa, dude, he’s so excellent!

Megatron and Abuse
I’ve spent months emotionally gearing myself up to make this Megatron meta post. It will contain mentions of real life abuse–verbal, emotional, physical, sexual–from my own life, as well as links to sites that discuss said topics. There will be a focus on emotional and narcissistic abuse, as that is the kind I have the most experience with–and the kind I most see Megatron perpetuating in More than Meets the Eye.
I understand that many people identify with Megatron. It may be best for you to skip this post if you count yourself among them. I want to be clear that this is my reading of the character, and I do not fault others for reading him differently; I’m not going to go after anyone for liking him or shipping him with people. It’s fiction. Do what makes you feel safe and happy. I can guarantee you are not the first to block me for saying I believe Megatron is abusive.
If you are interested in reading about why I, personally, view Megatron in this light, I would like to make one final request. This subject matter is extremely personal. I have spent four and a half years in therapy, but this still affects me powerfully. If you find yourself getting the urge to argue with me, please keep in mind that I will not be responding to comments for my own health.
So why am I posting? Because I have seen no discussion of this in fandom. When Megatron’s abusive behavior is described, it is invariably treated as a thing of the past, not the present. And I think that multiple views of a character in fandom lead to richer interpretations in fanworks and other meta.
And, with that, we’re off to the races.

Was not expecting to become as attached to the story as I am now. Devi is just the best and I was going through the same thing (without the mind eating entities)with college work pilling up on me.
Just imagine a world full of beautiful stained glass windows which also generate electricity…

Calisthenics for Beginners (2023)
You can learn almost any exercise by building up with easier variations! Here are some examples.
Note: this is a short version of a 26-minute long video called "Home Workout for Beginners (2023)" on our YouTube channel. If you want more details, please check out that video or the Hybrid Routine page: https://www.hybridcalisthenics.com/routine I tried to fit what I can into a short video.
Also, yes my knees go in a bit more than I'd like during my intro jump when I stand up 😅. The one later is better.
We're going to try to schedule a large backlog of videos to post daily for a while! If anything seems out of order, that might be why. Follow for more - have a wonderful day!

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery
I can’t tell you how much I love this artwork from ancient Egypt (the Middle Kingdom). People have been raising cattle and practicing animal husbandry for so long, that there is something almost inherently human about this scene.
Everyone in the field of veterinary medicine or agriculture knows the feeling of staying up late with a laboring animal trying to make sure both mom and baby are okay. Delivering a calf is often physically and emotionally exhausting work that takes enormous patience and learned skill. It requires a unique balance of physical strength and gentleness to do correctly. There is no feeling quite like getting that baby out and everyone is okay. I’m certain ancient people must have felt the same way, and I wonder if the artist knew this feeling firsthand. I wonder if those humans depicted were people the artist knew, if the cow and calf maybe were as well.
my advice for not going insane? try to do something every weekend. go to events, you’ll love events. and not like just hang out with ur friends or go clubbing , no, make a day out of going to some local market by yourself or attend some strange convention event you’ve never heard of. i cannot stress the importance of doing random events on a friday night or saturday or a sunday at r pm for mentally ill people especially if you’re depressed and have been searching for an anchor 2 tether yourself to. attend some events now
When the super problematic creator + their equally nasty project that’s stuffed with toxic messages, weird kinks and bad writing that you’ve been aware of for years finally starts getting open criticism on mass and you can finally voice your own frustrations and experiences without the fear of rampant harpy stans trying to hunt you for sport
Vivziepop fans claiming adding black features to her black characters would’ve made it “too difficult” to animate them is a hilarious excuse considering this is the same woman who had characters like these animated:
Another excuse fans have been using is that Vivziepop’s art style is “unsuitable” for black characters, despite her crew members proving otherwise:
No art style is "unsuitable" for black characters because it's the artist's responsibility to learn how to draw them in their style. There's no excuse for black characters not looking black in your style.
Vivziepop could draw black features in her style but CHOSE not to, hence why none of the black characters look black outside their skin color, which sometimes they don't even have.
Vivziepop male character: *is supposed to be hot and attractive. Canonically everyone wants to fuck him, he is flirty, confident and makes everyone fall in love with him as soon as he appear. Hes got the best voice actor to make the most masculine and attractive voice to match his supposed sexiness. Everyone in the fandom talks about how he makes them wet their panties*
The fucking character design:
the problem with autism is sometimes you want to do something (brave) but you need someone to gently walk you through each step so you know what will happen. and people don’t like doing that

Can you imagine the angst if Nolan decided against killing the other heroes at the last second, stopping his world-conquering? He was already kind of unwilling and desperate but went through with it because that was his mission and there was no other option (is what he thinks). He rationalized his actions to himself, and in the end, echoed them back at Mark, hoping to convince him: The people on earth don't live that long. If they die now or in 50 years, it doesn't matter. Forming strong attachments to them is similar to the friendship between humans and dogs; you like them, so you keep them around, but they live much shorter lives, they can be "replaced" and the next friendship can be just as nice. Earth is so far behind in every aspect (science, medicine, economy, resources,...) that Viltrumites are doing Earth a favor. If they refuse to submit, killing them is always an option, it doesn't change anything in the big picture. His mission is a good thing, the strong over the weak. And the weak do anything to aid the strong. Nolan is doing good. Can't Mark see that?
The reason why Nolan spends so much time trying to get Mark on his side and then finally quitting when Mark refuses, is because he actually cared. His family is not just some pet to him. Maybe it was in the beginning, but he's long since started caring much more deeply for Debbie and their son. He was dragging his feet with his mission, waiting until almost the last possible second to set it into motion and then just not doing anything after killing the other heroes. He was standing around, waiting for Mark to get better at controlling his powers and hiding the evidence of his crimes. Albeit, how he went about this was questionable. It's almost like he was hoping that being discovered would make it impossible to turn back, taking the decision out of his hands.
The other Viltrumites that we've seen in the show were not even slightly as emotional as Nolan. They would have done anything -- anything -- to finish their mission.
After he leaves, he's obviously heartbroken and reflects upon his actions. Even after making a new kid like he said he would, he was still thinking of Debbie and Mark. He wants to mend the burned bridges and go back to his family, to the time when he was happy.
He realized what he'd lost after it was already too late. But what if he gets that realization much earlier? What if Mark still gets his powers and Nolan still gets cold feet, except this time he almost loses Debbie and Mark, while he's on the other side of the planet saving people with the Guardians of the Globe?
He comes back to Debbie lying in a coma with multiple broken bones and Mark having his spine broken, his healing factor not yet working properly. Mark is looking at him like everything'll be okay now, like Nolan will make things right again. He wouldn't know how. They both wait for Debbie to wake up, unable to leave her side, unable to risk anything happening to her again while they're gone. A few weeks later, Debbie wakes up and Mark has completely healed.
Nolan has made a decision. He won't lose his family again and Viltrum is a threat to his new-old home.
Now, he has to grapple with ALL THIS while also holding off the other Viltrumites, trying to work up a plan to break the news of his actually hella dangerous people to Earth, trying to keep as much of a positive reputation as he could possibly achieve, getting Mark better at controlling his powers, saving his marriage, and saving his own sanity.
A fic from Nolan's perspective in this AU would be heartbreaking and so so so satisfying. OMG. Btw, this is not a fic request, just an idea I wanted to share. If you want to write this or take inspiration from it, go right ahead! But please tell me what you think first?
I THINK IT'S HELLA INTERESTING! (*´▽`*)
My b this took a hot min, I wasn't feeling too hot for a bit. But, personally, my writer brain's narrow and there's like one character per series I can actually make myself write about, and that slot's been taken by Mark for Invincible's. But I LOVE THIS? (♡°▽°♡)
Nolan in s1 feels incredibly cold and indifferent, or at least trying to commit to the role of what he’s supposed to be, but when we finally get the context of how other Viltramites behave, Nolan suddenly looks like an emotional wreck whose brain is nearly exploding from unlocking the neurological pathways reserved for things like empathy or genuine regret. Him screaming about why does he care in s2, hits so much harder in that context. Mf's brain is steaming to process caring about other people. I love him. Also hate him. I contain multitudes.
I do think it’s possible for him to have folded and embrace the connections he cares about, and it is SO intriguing thinking about a universe where he commits to protector Earth because he almost lost his family!! Taken seriously by Guardians/Cecil, I can see Mark and Nolan would still be painted as potential betrayers of Earth (when/if he confesses), especially if Nolan admits who he was supposed to slaughter, but The Guardians and Cecil would have to work with him anyway!! The fear of Debbie staying in a coma would hits so hard too, but the guilt and etc would be sooooo interesting to explore with Nolan!!!
Imagine him trying to reveal this? Sharing this with the family he nearly lost knowing he could lose them again emotionally by revealing this? To his coworkers and Cecil? AGAIN TO DEBBIE? Imagine explaining to your wife you said NVM to colonizing the planet 'cause you realized you loved her family. Insane. I love it so much, oh my god??? If you have any more ideas about this PLEASE add on!!! (╯✧▽✧)╯
But the idea of him keeping the secret, and like you said, trying desperately to make his reputation/connections utterly perfect and incredible in the mean time? Does he ever tell them or does a Viltramite come down instead? Does he tell Allen even??? This is such a yummy twist of what secret is unfolding??? Just Nolan having to grapple with how much he cares when he nearly loses them, how much far he's willing to go to the point of rebellion??? YES PLEASE??? ( ` ∇ ´ ) !!!! Put this man in the worst emotional crisis of his entire life time. Suffer from the weight of connection, of caring, of growth and love. To protect what you love. I LOVE IT.

I liked how the colors of the house in season 2 were omniman's colors and tried to play around with that
