Some of the photos and the link under read more ↓

so are you guys the "jorvik is such a place of wonder" kinda person or are you the "imagine the amount of carnage and angst that is actually occurring in jorvik that sse is just not gonna put in their game because they want to market it to kids" type of person?

just wondering stares

Some fun glitches I did/found (?) while doing a all nighter a few days ago

I'm about to go get drunk if Ao3 isn't back up in 5 minutes

Holy shot didn't realize that RIP I GUESS

I'm just gonna go use Wattpad or ff.net now-

oml I just saw the ao3 is trendinggg YALL ITS MAINTENANCE CHILL I GET THAT ITS BEEN LIKE 4 HOURS OR SMTH BUT CHILL

I hate the terms "Sire" and "Carrier" so here are the alternatives I created for Cyberaligned (also I have been getting some questions from people about why some characters said Adsero or Alma)

Parents:

Parensnatales

Parens: Parents; Mother; Father

Natales: birth; origin; family

Almatonia (alma) = "carrier"

Alma: Nourishing; Kind; Soul

Tonia: Priceless; Praiseworthy

Adserodux (adsero) = "sire"

Adsero: protect; preserve

Dux: leader; to lead

And a breakdown of these terms in Cybertronian culture and society

Unlike human culture, Cybertronian culture does not have the concept of gender, which makes both of these terms gender neutral terms. The title is given to a mech who shows the qualities of the term's meaning.

An example of this would be the pairing of Ratchet, Optimus Prime, and Elita 1. Optimus and Elita would be referred to as Adserodux, due to their protective and leadership qualities. Ratchet on the other hand, who is a much more nurturing mech, would be referred to as Almatonia.

Another example would be my pairing of Heatwave and Quickshadow. Both are protective mechs, who in their own right are leaders. Both of them would be referred to as Adserodux.

Hopefully this breakdown makes sense for everyone. If anyone has further questions, I am happy to answer them!

I keep seeing ppl on my server buy star coins spend them and blame SSE for making them spend star coins it's kind of funny tbh but also annoying seeing ppl blame SSE for making them spend star coins

begging on my hands and knees for sso to let us multi-craft items. please oh my god I have been converting seeds into light for an hour

if you ever think you’re too much of a people pleaser, just remember your star stable character;

tended to an entire garden, with little to no reward

learnt to fish and then used said fishing skills to aid not one, not two but THREE fishermen for months on end

repaired a bridge just for the shits and gigs

took hundreds of pictures of a plushie in return for what… 10xp?

helped a creepy dude relocate his 100 spiders that hid all over jorvik

stopped g.e.d taking over moorland, from the kindness of our doormat heart

helped a jojo siwa lookalike save horse from yet another creepy guy

played hide and seek with TERRIFYING twins im sorry those quests were giving uncanny valley so bad

traversed alternate dimensions to save characters that have lowkey never done anything to help us

travelled to an oil rig to stop dark cores evil plans

blew up said oil rig !!! yay us !!!

all because we were asked to.

we are overworked and severely underpaid. lets hope in the next wednesday update our character learns the word ‘no.’

i thought we were meant to be here for one summer to ride a horse through fields of flowers and rainbows >.<

YES

Let me be very clear:

When I say I want in her bed, I don't mean for sex. I mean for sleeping with her. And not "sleeping with her" aka sex.

ACTUALLY sleeping!

Cuddled up and cozy. Resting together.

Forgot I made this little model of Starhawk’s torso and I’ve been wanting to make visual examples of how his (and other star seekers) torso vents move with the arms for a while. Just kept on forgetting to get around to making em.

The vents and turbines are more connected to the chest than to the shoulders, but they have some flexibility for movement, tilting forward or backwards and even pushing in to give the shoulders and arms more freedom.

Edit: positions for when arms are up

Star Seeker skeleton 2.0

Star Seekers can have either a set of talons in their hands or a set of spurs in their legs. Only the first Star Seeker that was created has both talons and spurs.

Talons tend to be more common as the legs of Star Seekers are already plenty strong on their own, so talons help a Star Seeker more easily defend their head and torso.

Those who do have spurs can increase the lethality of their kicks by applying acids to their spurs. It’s easier to place canisters of toxins in their legs, which is why you don’t see taloned Star Seekers do the same thing with their claws. There is simply no room under the armor of their hands.

I once mentioned that while some star seekers have retractable talons in their fingertips, others have retractable spurs or spines in their legs, and I never sketched that concept until now.

Depending on where the spur(s) are placed may have a slight impact on how the individual star seeker might fight, but regardless, spurs or no spurs, star seekers have powerful legs.

These are what I’ve managed to come up with for star seeker badges, slightly based on Protege’s face combined with the Autobot symbol

If anyone has suggestions or additions, feel free to add them :>

S.S. Frame Wing Emotes

Adding to this post originally bringing up the star seeker frame type

Star seeker wings have 3 main states: neutral, where all wings are relaxed. Submissive, where the secondary wings are lowered. Dominant, where both secondary and primary wings are flared up and out.

Extra notes on S.S. wings below cut

--

Star seekers were not built with sensitive wings, able to take a few bumps without feeling any pain. Some individuals may still dislike having their wings handled, and excessive impacts against hard surfaces may lead to irritation at most.

Breaking or bending their wings of course does cause pain, but breaking a leg typically hurts them more.

Star seekers do not have the most expressive wings, their secondary wings doing most of the emoting with occasional fluttering, wiggling or dips. Most movements are during positive interactions, for example fluttering when one receives a compliment.

Their primary wings rarely emote, mostly during stronger waves of emotions. They most often use their wings for silent signaling to each other during situations where they must be quiet, but that is different from emoting.

They can do something called 'wing rattling', shaking their long wings rapidly against each other and their back plating to create a loud aggressive noise.

If a star seeker's wings are flared aggressively, they may rattle their wings if they feel the message 'back off' wasn't clear enough.

If an individual is feeling petty or spiteful, they might rattle their wings to interrupt/drown out others, if only to annoy one or more people.

In addition to wing rattling, star seekers can also snap their primary wings by moving them up and down in one quick motion to create a loud clash. This sound is also mainly an aggressive one, but while rattling is usually a warning to back off or shut up, snapping is either a challenge or to draw attention.

Wing rattling and snapping is only ever done during face-to-face interactions and preferably in an environment that has less of a risk of ambush or is perfectly acceptable to be loud in.

Lost notes on the S.S. Frame

The blueprints and notes of Starhawk’s frame type, along with the team who designed them, had disappeared long before Starhawk was brought online.

The S.S. frames were designed for long distance space travel and have some of the most fuel efficient frames to date. They were created primarily for hunting down any traces of energon, but they could also be used as scouts and snipers/assassins.

The S.S. project, however, would never see success, as it was shut down just as they had started to send out small 3-4 packs of the new frames. It’s suspected the team overseeing the project had been attacked, but by who or why is unknown. Because of its early shutdown, S.S. frames are few in number, and it's unknown how many are online, let alone simply built (as in, having not yet been brought online).

S.S. Frames are characterized for their tall, thin, lightweight build and four wings, their primary wings being absurdly long. They have broad, flat chests that’s usually covered by sparse, simple kibble and have powerful legs. A well placed kick can easily decapitate a mech, or cave in their chest.

Part of why the S.S. mechs are so fuel efficient is their ability to very easily shut down non-essential functions, saving up as much of their energy as possible for long solo flights. They can go months, perhaps possibly years without needing to refuel.

S.S. mechs vary most notably by their head shapes. Their silhouettes generally look quite similar, though their patterning, colors and parts of their kibble can vary.

One thing all S.S. frame types share in common regarding their character, is their distaste for small spaces and general tolerance for being alone for very long periods of time, whereas most other mechs can go mad with loneliness.

Upcoming OC events!

These are currently in drafts, but since it's been quiet for a bit I figure I should let you know what's coming up.

September - Medieval / ren faire theme October - Halloween (maybe general autumn theme too?) November - break month? December - Winter ball (fancy dresses, suits, etc!), and possibly running a general winter holiday event and/or new year's party even if they might have to run simultaneously.

Obviously nobody has to participate in any event, so running 3 events in December (winter ball, holiday celebration, and new year's) would just mean that you can pick and choose which event speaks more to you for your OC creativity. But I'm not sure about it, so feel free to let me know how you feel about December events. (The winter ball is a must for me, since seeing similar events on IG is what inspired this whole blog, and I want to see OCs dressed up in ballgowns and other fancy clothes... maybe I could schedule the ball for December 1st instead though, and treat it as November's event?)

Ngl this was Cullen with my qunari magee there was a good 3 foot height different between themm (I used mods so I could romance himm)
