Today I level up to 35. Yay me. Y'all can feel free to send me cake and tiddy anyway if you want though. (Just be careful. I am taken now)

*Dusts journal off*

GOAL ONE
Cutting back hard on buying stuff. Gonna save as much money as I can to hopefully eventually move out of living with my folks. Gonna be hard living off of disability, but I'm gonna try regardless


GOAL TWO
Gonna try getting my learner's permit and eventually a driver's license and a car. I'm actually fearing for my life because of how fucking nuts and stupid florida drivers are.


GOAL THREE
Make comics again. Maybe branch out and attempt to break into bigger pixel art some more to improve my skills. Alternatively hire an artist who would be willing to draw epic pages and scenes for me.

GOAL FOUR
Get back to work on making video game. Might start out small and just do a rom hack. Maybe final fantasy or earthbound depending on my mood. Hell maybe I can make my own pokemon game with it's own region.

WHENEVER I CAN GET AROUND TO IT
I'm now engaged to  girlaph. Gonna also have to work on actually tying the knot with her. :)

Okay so. Last time I went on a political rant, I feel I was being too harsh on people who are centrist and had no idea how much harm I was doing to friends of mine. If you're centrist because you need to be, that's fine.


However.


If you in any way advocate for Texas and their treatment of families with transgender kids, you are advocating for censorship. You are telling these kids "Don't be trans. Don't be gay!", and you really need to re-think your stance on that because that is just wrong.

I'm not going to lambast anybody who is single and lonely, because I understand how it feels. But if you're gonna do anything on valentines day, just give love. Don't expect anything in return. Just give love. Give it to friends, family, pets. It don't matter! At the very least you'll be doing yourself a favor by doing a kind gesture instead of wallowing in self pity all day.

And if you still feel lonely, there's always porn and then going to sleep.

Ended yesterday.

Is today.

Is on the 10th.

That's it. That's the journal. It's a ponzi scam and you should not fall for it.

So remember back when I did a couple of journals talking about how I'd do a transformers story? Fuck it! I'm adding a Beast Wars to that now!

The setting
So this re-telling of Beast Wars would be different not just with character choices, but also time and place. Instead of prehistoric earth, everybody crashes during like...the 1980s. The Autobots and Decepticons are still asleep of course so Megatron still has a chance to rewrite history. Also he has a chance to fuck up first contact with Alpha Trion (Go check out parts one and two of my transformers journals for more on that). Also considering Maximals and Predacons are around human-ish size? This setting is a good opportunity for some shenanigans.

For the teams I'm only going to list off "new" or "alternate interpretations" of characters since I want everyone to kind of be close to their original portrayal in the OG Beast Wars.

MAXIMALS
-Airrazor (This is kind of cheating since Airrazor is unchanged personality wise, but she replaces Rhinox as one of the original crew. Which is probably a good thing since we need more girls)
-Leo Prime (Yeah I'm bringing him into this. Acting like Primal's Sentinel prime/Ultra Magnus being a higher ranking officer or whatever He drops by every now and again to reprimand Primal for the escalating situation on earth before they put it aside to beat up the preds.)
-Polar Claw (One of Leo's team. His more anal-retentive rules lawyering assistant if you will)
-Stampy (Also part of Leo's team, and is a girl. Is that misogynistic? I hope not because rabbits are cool)
-Darkscream/Nightglider (A transplant from Car Robots kind of and one of Megatron's early experiments with transmetal 2 technology. He can defect to the maximals after his initial debut and learn how to be heroic from Silverbolt)


PREDACONS
-Terrorsaur (Since I'd be using Tarantulas to lead the insecticons in my G1 rewrite, Terrorsaur gets more moments for starscreaming! Yay!)
-Slapper (A transplant from Car Robots. Slapper would replace Waspinator as the butt monkey of the predacons even after he gets his transmetal 2 form)
-Terragator (As much as I love Quickstrike, I think it'd be neat to use a different pred as their main fuzor. Aside from comments about how disgusting he is from other characters, I'd want Terragator to have a quirky voice akin to Muscleman from Regular Show but he'd parse every other sentence with a hard "UHHHH..." and also constantly make references to his ASS CANNON



I might add more if I get any ideas. Feedback and comments are always appreciated.

Can we please stop turning every character in fiction into Buffy the vampire slayer?

I've had this...terrible annoyed feeling for the longest time now whenever I read superhero comics or watch movies wherein characters say and do things that seem out of place for them. Either they say something that implies they're stupid (Like call an important item a "Doohickey") or exclaim something relating to their butt, or try to come up with a stupid "Team name" when they're with friends or comrades. And the more I think on it, the more I trace it back to Joss Whedon.

Now it's no surprise people are emulating his style of dialog. The man was quasi-famous with Buffy, and Angel and then became a go-to hollywood guy when he did The Avengers. But lately it seems like EVERYONE has to take fictional characters and turn them into Buffy. Made-up dummy sounding words and all. Case in point: The last comic book I read: Marvel's Black Knight had the titular hero fighting a symbiote dragon, and screaming about his "buttflaps" or something that got dented in the fight. Now I am aware the ebony blade (It's like the black knight equivalent of mjolnir but it's evil or something) does stuff to it's wielder's mind, but I don't think it should be evil enough that it turns just about anybody holding it into the protagonist of an Adam Sandler movie. Needless to say this very scene alone was what killed my interest in marvel for a while.


Speaking of Marvel and Thor as I somewhat mentioned in brackets: Part of me still feels like he got done dirty with Thor:Ragnarok. I get that there was a lot that needed covering in the MCU, but I wish it didn't cost us Thor's more serious tones (And most of his supporting cast. RIP Sif, and the warriors three). It's a fun movie. I still quite like it. But I fear it came at a great cost.


Getting off of Marvel doing this with all of their characters, I feel like it's something that needs to stop showing up in IDW's Transformers as well. At least in regards to the decepticons. While I did enjoy the oddballs of the Lost Light in the original run, I feel it's a bit inappropriate when it's being applied to a decepticon death squad. Granted this takes place at the start of a reboot, and they're more than likely just establishing Flamewar as the goofball of the cons, but even so. I feel it adds to the problem a bit. Though admittedly it could just be I like my decepticon women to be competent (Shatter), aggressive (Slipstream, Shadow Striker), and powerful (Strika). So maybe I'm just a bit biased against Flamewar or something, idk.


So there's my rant against Buffy speak and how it needs to take a nap. I'm sure to get a comment or two saying I hate fun, but really with how most series have been phoning it in by trying to ape Teen Titans GO, I'll take being compared to a grumpy dad who sends away all the party guests for his son's birthday so he can go clean his room as a bit of a compliment.

I saw the trailer.


Y'all are fools for not realizing what's going on. >:)

Power supply keeps shorting out. Prone to flipping breakers in the house. No idea if I should invest in a replacement or just pawn the whole damn thing off for a simple laptop. ._.

I'm gonna say this right now. I am sick of this neutral "Both sides are wrong. I don't wanna get into politics uwu" bullshit seeping into my inbox. If you honestly believe this rhetoric after what happened at the capitol: You are basically part of what went wrong. These people vandalized a national monument. Security let them in and only put in the most minimum of effort to make them stop WHILE TAKING SELFIES WITH THEM NO LESS. There were plans leaked to find the ballots and BURN them just so we get another four years of Trump.

"Oh but ANTIFA and BLM started it first!" So you say, but consider that A: ANTIFA has not committed any murders these past four years (Or if they have, nobody has bothered to name victims) and B: BLM rioted in response to how the police handled George Floyd. If these rioters (Not PROTESTORS) last tuesday were black, they would have likely been shot dead.

I've held my piece for four years now. And in that time I have seen reports of white supremacists attack, bully, harass, and MURDERING people they do not like. Including people of different ethnicities, people who are LGBT, and women.

In short: You cannot be the sitting mother telling your children "Two wrongs don't make a right" when one is lashing out that their favorite toy got broken, and the other is fucking said toy with dad's switchblade. Pick a goddamn side and if I can't convince you to be on mine, I ask that you show the same respect and not try to convert me to yours. Just get the fuck off the fence.

There's a bot going around by the name of  ArianaDream. Block and report if it notes you.

What the fuck is it with artists I follow lately and developing some kind of bad attitude? I say or do nothing, I get blocked and called annoying. I ask a question-not requesting free art, just asking how a person feels drawing a very specific not-at-all-lewd thing, I get lip in the worst kind of way. I don't get this. I really don't. Are my attempts at being friendly that disingenuous? Because I'm sorry if it comes off that way! I really don't mean to give off that sort of vibe!


I seriously don't get why people have to keep acting like shit. What did I do to get dumped on so thoroughly and repeatedly by everyone?

I have commissions I need doing. Gonna make a journal to remind myself to get shit done.


COMM PROGRESS
 soldiersunstar = 20% done
 lizardguy = 0% done

These will get updated possibly tomorrow or saturday depending on how distracted I get by life stuff. :V

If you don't want to associate with me that's fine. If I did something wrong I'm sorry. But if all you can think to say is "Cuz ur annoying!" even though I haven't really said or done anything to my knowledge, then maybe I don't want to associate with you too.

Because I'm bored and last weekend I watched KOTM finally, I think it's time I pitched my idea for a dumb Godzilla cartoon.

So the basic outline is kind of like a weird mashup of fucking...Final Wars meets Avengers: Disk Wars meets Ben 10 kiiiiinda? Basically aliens come to earth, trap all the monsters and bring about peace and prosperity but it's all BS because aliens in godzilla are never good-ANYWAYS. The protagonist is like...a delinquent kid who finds the Godzilla wristwatch thinger and like the way these things work is like the omnitrix except it's just the one kaiju and there are multiple of them and whatever one you get, that's the kaiju you turn into...except you can also talk to the kaiju inside or something? idk. The whole fucking point of this is that it's dumb and made to sell toys.


HEROES
1: The protagonist/Godzilla (I picture him basically being like...Ryouma Nagare from New Getter Robo...or maybe fucking Kazuma from S-Cry-ED. Like on the one hand he's a nice enough dude, but on the other hand he's totally on board with just whipping out Godzilla whenever and going on a rampage. I guess his character arc can be a reflection of Showa Godzilla somewhat where he has to learn to not be such an angry douche and becomes a proper hero)

2: The best friend/Anguirus (I don't really know. I didn't think that far about the heroes other than they'd fit certain archetypes. I guess he can be fat and it takes a while before he gets his kaiju form)

3: The girl/Mothra (Because why the hell not? May or may not be love interest. whatever.)

4: The foreign girl/King Ceasar (It sounds terrible when I type it, but fuck it. I think it could work. Make her a Japanese shrine maiden who found the KC watch thinger and wants to use it to ward off the aliens because she senses the evil inside of them)

5: The edgy dude/Rodan (Because no godzilla team is complete without Rodan to butt heads with)

EARTH DEFENSE CORPS
These guys aren't really evil. They're kind of a neutral party just doing their jobs and trying to stop these kids before they do something terrible with their monster forms

1: Hotshot jockey dude/Jet Jaguar (So the interesting thing with these guys is that they don't morph into monsters but pilot mechs to try and contain the monsters and Jet Jaguar goes to this Patrick Colasour mofo to get his ass handed to him. He eventually comes around, but for the most part you just point and laugh at his misfortunes)

2: The older brother/Mechagodzilla (Sure. Protag has an older bro that's part of the earth defense, and refuses to listen that the aliens are bad even though he doesn't trust them too much himself or...something. idfk. Can have an arc where he's brainwashed but then snaps out of it in time for the final battle with the alien overlords)

3: The soldiers/MOGUERA (An army of MOGUERAs. Why the fuck not?)

THE BAD KIDS
So since not -all- of Godzilla's monsters are aliens, I figure I could have like...some kids get a hold of the toy watches and decide to join up with the aliens because reasons. Either because fucking shit up is cool to them or because of complicated reasons.

1:The rival/Spacegodzilla (So this kid could be like a sociopathic bully to the godzilla kid, but when the godzilla kid becomes godzilla, bully resents him for getting such power, so the aliens after a few losses are like "Hey. Do YOU want to become Godzilla too?" and then he gets an arc where he's a major threat before shit goes back to dealing with the EDF and the aliens)

2:Girl's sister/Battra (Girl's sister could be like...struggling financially or whatever and is given the Battra watch by the aliens and they promise to clear her debts if she kills girl or something. Cliche, but whatever)

3:Some creepy nerd/Kumonga (His initial appearance can be creeping on girls and eating them as a giant fucking spider, and then his second focal episode can be trying to get back at the heroes for fucking him over.)

4:Granola chick/Biollante (Why not? Every good rogues gallery has that crazy eco-terrorist chick.)

THE ALIENS
The obvious villains who publicly appear nice and friendly but secretly plan to take over if not for those meddling kids.

1: The leader/Who do you fucking think? (It's Ghidorah. It's always fucking Ghidorah.)

2: Number 2/Gigan (This dude spends the most part handing out watches to kids to get them to do bad things to further the aliens' plans. He only ever turns into Gigan when cornered and reks shit until the very end where he's beaten by friendship)



So that's pretty much all I got for my idea for a dumb Godzilla cartoon. If anyone wants to add to it or whatever. Feel free to comment. Next time I'll pitch my idea for a Spider-Man series.

So last time I discussed initial characters at the beginning. Now I'm gonna go into who I want for extended cast in this dumb idea


AUTOBOTS
-Alpha Trion (I think it would be cool if Trion arrived on earth before the bots/cons and that he's kind of been hole'd up in Area-51 all this time. He would mainly spend his initial appearances using a holomatter avatar of an old man that the human kid sees every now and then before joining the team proper. Quintessons ultimately would kill him, but not before he forges a super mode for Prime)

-Elita One (So what if Elita kind of hated Optimus for being a Megatron fanboy that got their mutual friend killed and almost the two of them as well? She would mostly be the aloof ally who mainly takes orders from Alpha Trion. She slowly warms up to Prime around the Overlord arc and then around the end of the series would forgive him)

-Wreck-Gar (Basically kind of aping his origins from Animated, where some kind of allspark fragment or whatever brings him to life on earth, but it's G1 Wreck-Gar so he talks in TV and movie quotes. Also he gets a little family of Botbots and they live in the junkyard together)

-Drift (Oh shit here we go. So Drift in this would start out as the apprentice of BLUDGEON who is one of Megatron's phase sixers. He goes weeb when he observes Japanese culture and instead of just outright joining the Autobots decides to travel the earth to discover himself and what he wants to fight for before coming back and ultimately getting into a samurai showdown with Bludgeon)

-Ultra Magnus (Magnus shows up some time after the phase sixers and does his thing where he fills in for Optimus while he's out on injury. He starts out as a major hardass, but human kid spends an episode with him and he learns to be a bit more lenient. The reveal that he looks like Prime underneath and that he was contacted by Alpha Trion to come to earth is never really followed up on.)

-Skids (So Skids would just kind of show up as an amnesiac autobot and have a thing where Prowl doesn't trust him but the other autobots all want to help him recover, but THEN it turns out he's a sleeper double agent working for the quintessons, and Prowl is the guy to convince him to shape his own identity or something and he joins for good I guess. )



DECEPTICONS
-Shockwave (Shockwave shows up around the same time as Megatron when it's time for Starscream's role as "Acting leader" to be dunked. He doesn't really do anything except help build the space bridge, and then team up with Soundwave to try to get rid of fucking Overlord. I guess he could defect to the quintessons and get murdered by super megatron. idk)

-Seeker clones (These guys show up after Starscream finds like five or six protoforms tucked away and then has them scan his image to make the seekers, who all have their own distinct personalities, so it's not just direct starscream clones. Anyway they turn on him the same episode they're introduced and bolster the con ranks for a while before most of them get wiped during the space bridge explosion)

-Nightbird (So like...I thought about possible human antagonists for the autobots aside from the decepticons, and I kind of thought about a dude with a sassy computer AI who helps him try to capture an Autobot to experiment on or something. Eventually he tries to capture MEGATRON, and Megatron winds up wooing the AI before killing her human master, and then having Shockwave turn her into Nightbird. She can have something of a split rivalry between Elita and Shatter. Ultimately she dies fighting alongside Megatron until the end)

PHASE SIXERS
-Overlord (Overlord takes over as leader of the decepticons after Megatron is presumed dead from the space bridge blowing up at the end of season one. He's powerful but also batshit insane and does dumb shit like invade wrestling shows to challenge Optimus. Most of the arc is Starscream trying to keep him from finding out Megatron is dead, or that Starscream was the one that killed him. He dies when Shockwave eventually just speaks his killcode implanted into him and his head asplodes)

-Sixshot (I already went into this in part one, but Astrotrain is super jelly of Sixshot, even though sixshot doesn't really give a shit. They become friends after an episode I guess? Also he mostly develops a rivalry with Ultra Magnus BECAUSE FANSERVICE!)

-Bludgeon (See Drift's thing because I don't feel like typing it again. Although Bludgeon would also go out of his way to help Starscream cover up Megatron's death, partly because he doesn't really like Overlord, partly because he wants to stealth mentor Starscream into having a little more competence in his leadership skills. He's also quite happy when Drift kills him at the end since it means his student surpassed him I guess)

-Skyjack/Skyshadow/blackshadow/who cares? (Just there to fill out the phase sixers. Gets killed off after a few episodes. Next!)

QUINTESSONS
(So the Quintessons are kind of complicated this time around. Like they weren't THE FIRST beings on cybertron, but they definitely colonized the planet and created cybertronians from it to sell to other civilizations for labor and war and stuff. They show up shortly after Overlord is taken care of and are kind of a major threat. Also their tech is what's used to bring Megatron back to power, so there's that. Also they have decepticon bounty hunters)

-Lockdown (One of the bounty hunters the quints employ to get shit done. More in line with his Animated persona as opposed to movies/cyberverse which were both fucking terrible.)

-Fracture (Fracture was one of the wasted things about RiD 2015, so I'mma pair him with Lockdown. The two of them can banter about getting paid and how they both want to kill eachother but not really. Both also get kowtowed into joining Megatron after he blows up their original employers. Ultimately they get fragged by Skids and Prowl)



And that's pretty much my character pitches for a transformers series. There's a few I left out, but they're mostly just filler characters that don't really serve any purpose other than to sell more toys. idk. Might do a part three to outline each season's plot and then go into the sequel series.

Because who doesn't have their own cringey fanfic ideas for franchises?

So like. I guess I can start by telling my take on how I would do Transformers. So it'd follow the same deal as GEEWUN and maybe Prime and Animated where Autobots and Decepticons come to earth and blahblahblah. But there would be flashbacks to what kicked the war off, how Optimus and Megatron started out as friends, and Elita One is there and she blames Optimus for that third guy they were friends with getting shot by Megatron...idk. Anyway. The initial setup of both teams would be like this:


AUTOBOTS
-Prime (Because he needs to be there.)
-Bumblebee (Also needs to be there)
-Hot Rod (I could go for someone like Ironhide or Bulkhead or Hound as "The big guy", but nah. I figure put Hot Rod in early. Have him learn to not be a dipshit, and then give him actual focus in the sequel series which I'll cover later)
-Prowl (My take on Prowl is that he'd be a bit like his IDW version where he does shady shit, but ultimately he's actually a pretty nice dude. He's just kind of bitter because cons killed Bluestreak)
-Moonracer (Look...If we're gonna do female representation, I'll fucking bite and make her the team medic/scientist. Basically take Moonracer, Greenlight, and the Paradron medic from G1 and throw them into a blender to make a breakout character. She also can be someone who was friends with Ratchet so she has anxiety issues that she has to overcome initially and become stronger for it overall)

DECEPTICONS
-Megatron (Because. Also he wouldn't initially be there and also feel just a little guilty for shooting Optimus when he was Orion Pax, But also not really. Would give an arc where he's forced into a human body temporarily and slowly regains his lost compassion hanging with the main human kid or kids before coming back as SUPER MEGATRON)
-Starscream (Because. Gets to outlive his leader though and kinda-sorta helps establish peace with the autobots and decepticons)
-Soundwave (Because. Will treat all of his cassettes like a good dad except for Ratbat, who sells everyone the fuck out to the quintessons when they show up. Fuck Ratbat. Also Goes through an arc where he tries to find and bring back Megatron when the latter is stuck in a human body, because the Phase-sixers are fucking assholes)
-Astrotrain (MY BOY! Also we need someone cool to fill out the dumb brute quota for the decepticons. Develops a one-sided rivalry with Sixshot. Originally because he had a crush on Thunderblast, but then I decided on a different fem-con...)
-Shatter (Sure. She can act as Starscream's foil initially. Undermining his orders until Megatron shows up, then she gets his job after he's kicked out, and then she slowly gets replaced by Nightbird. So she winds up joining Starscream and the season 1 finale is the two of them blowing up the space bridge and (But not really) killing Megatron...Then they gotta deal with OVERLORD ofucc. She dies at the end of the quintesson invasion when Megatron drags her in to be used as components for his new super body)

I don't really have anything for the main human kid. He's there. Bumblebee is his car. He goes through stuff with a different Autobot to help them open up about themselves and develop I guess. Then he has a thing with Megatron and then he stops being relevant after the first series.

Stay tuned for part two where I discuss newer toy ide-I mean extra characters joining the cast.
