Currents of Time

Folks who pay more attention to these things than I do have decided today is the 25^th anniversary of Transformers. Funky. To celebrate, I will now write a long, pointless, and probably not very interesting entry about it!

( But what are your thoughts on robots? )

SLIGHTLY MORE INTERESTING PART OF ENTRY NOW. In an ideal world, I’d take this opportunity to link some old G1 (ie, the original cartoon from 1984 and on) episodes, or maybe some Animated (the most recent incarnation, which is amazing and full of love). Sadly, I cannot find the opening episodes from Animated or the … uh, “best” episodes of G1. (Part of this is, I admit, laziness due to my being a bit tired.) HERE IS WHAT I CAN OFFER!

( Links! )

……Actually, you know what I think the best thing about Transformers is?

No matter what lunacy the fandom makes up, canon can pretty much always - ALWAYS - top it. <3 <3 Crossovers? CANON. Interspecies relatonships? CANON. Transformers becoming humans, gay robots (well, technically. Debatable, depending), more alternate realities than you can shake a stick at (including a mirror-verse), time travel (and more animation errors than you'd think possible)? ALL CANON. Horrors too great for any words to ever explain? CANON (Do not look too closely at his tongue. Or perhaps, do, and understand the … I don’t even know. I don’t think Kiss Play can really be understood.) (WHY, JAPAN. WHYYYYY.) …G1 has an entire episode dedicated to a character being committed to an asylum (he’s a Decepticon, and it ends about as well as you’d expect, really). Both hopelessly endearing and unbelievably CREEPY AND HORRIFYING characters! Also: A MILLION CONTINUITY ERRORS. But that just means even more room for everyone to play.


BASICALLY: I ♥ my fandom.

( Short talking/rant, mostly on Season 3 of G1 )


I was supposed to play some more Silent Hill 2 tonight, but my SH2 partner is feeling a little under the weather, so we postponed. Just as well. I needed to finish stitching in all 27 yards of hair into the doll heads. What in the name of Cybertron was I thinking when I came up with this idea? 27 yards of string is far too much.


I had an interview today. I should hear back within a week (probably within a day or two, she said, but a week to be safe). They're thinking of putting me in the bakery where I would get to decorate cakes all day. I certainly wouldn't argue with that. I wish, though, that I could have found summer employment back when it was still, you know... summer. Blarg.


The radiator on the other side of the room is making hollow, thunking noises. They're beginning to worry me. It's not about to explode or something, is it? . . . The dog doesn't seem worried, so I'm not gonna bother investigating the matter.




As a rather random aside, I'm going to throw Vector Prime at the next person who tries to convince me Romeo and Juliet is a great love story. I'm serious.

If he breaks, I'll be sad.
