Set a course for high jinks and mild peril šŸ’„šŸš€šŸ’«āœØ

I think about this comic by @herzspalter at least once a day, and this post from @brotoman-exe inspired a sequel.

EDIT: much thanks to @seeker-stormwing for the link šŸ’•

This is so sweet.Ā 

The comic I had originally made was from the very first chapter, so I love to see this now that the comic is over, so wholesome and full of positivity ;w; Thank you so much for linking me to this, I am so happy you liked my little song comic!! This is very cute and made me smile instantly.

I hope the crew is up there singing like that right now ā¤

if you have hearing loss & ask me to repeat something & I sayĀ ā€˜nevermind’ I promise it’s not cause I’m a jerk treating you like an inconvenience, it’s cause I realized what i said was fucking stupid

Okay but like, please repeat it anyway, and then add that you realize it’s stupid? Or at least say ā€œI’ve realized it was stupid, so I’d like not to repeat itā€. Please don’t just say ā€œnevermindā€.

Yes PLEASE do this. I’m hard of hearing and when someone says ā€œnevermindā€ it always feels like they’re actually saying ā€œugh your hearing loss is such a pain in the ass, it’s not worth the damn effortā€ even if that isnt the truth. I don’t care how dumb it is, the clarification makes me feel so much better.

this is really important feedback, thank you! From now on I will make certain to either repeat myself or explain respectfully why I prefer not. You deserve to feel comfortable and respected in all conversations. My insecurities and self-consciousness is a issue, but it’s my issue to deal with.

I just thought this ship up and i want to share it cause you just ship… Everything. Rossum x Overlord x Trepan.

I so enjoy being known as the person who ships everything, you don’t even know. šŸ˜‰

I like it!Ā  I’ve always liked the idea of Overlord/Trepan (and I dig the thought that they might have come to like and admire each other, that it got to the point where Trepan genuinely wanted to be there).Ā  And throwing Rossum in the mix is fascinating, because Overlord with two amoral scientists is already better than one, and also because of Rossum’s role in making Overlord what he is.Ā  Rossum and Trepan are basically Overlord’s architect and his mentor, and yet the power dynamics are a lot more complicated than that implies.

Yes good excellent ship. šŸ™‚

Transforming Birthday Cake – Optimus Prime

Russell Munro helped create a robotic transforming birthday cake for his son, using 3D printing to help build its frame:

My boy asked for a Transformers cake for his 6th birthday. I decided to up the ante, my wife did the actual cake.Ā 

Here is a short demo of the actual robotic frame itself, complete with Transformers sound clips:

Transforming. Cake. This is the best thing!

Holy. Shit.Ā 

Finally finished reading the last of IDW’s TF run (Unicron and Optimus Prime). It’s over – finished.

I haven’t always seen eye-to-eye with OP as a series, but this last arc (the Unicron saga)? This was masterful. Broke my heart. Every death meant something, even the ones I hated to see.

And one thing I will always treasure is John Barber’s sheer GLEE in writing Prowl, matched only by my glee in reading him. 😁 Oh, IDW. If the next continuities manage to produce Prowls half as good, I’ll be happy.

Because harassment happens to all genders. But guys get the short end of the stick when it comes to cosplay and consent.I intend to change this. Even if it’s a small change.

Flighting the concept on my personal page, so let me know what you guys think? You’re more than welcome to inbox me your experiences as a male cosplayer, you’ll stay anonymous.

Borrowed from THE INTERNET:

• Avoid using degrading language. Ā This applies to Expo social media as well. Ā Commenting on someone’s body in a way that is derogatory is considered sexual harassment and our convention won’t stand for it. Ā 
• Rape jokes, or jokes that are marginalizing to someone, are not funny. Please don’t make them, and if you feel that you have been the subject of such harassment, please come forward to Expo staff so that the issue can be dealt with confidentially.
• Always be respectful of someone’s physical space. It can be pretty close quarters at the Expo during peak hours, but that’s no excuse for inappropriate behavior.
Finally, perhaps most importantly…
• Always remember – we are ALL people. Ā Gender, age, ethnicity, orientation notwithstanding – we are each individuals who deserve to be treated as such. Ā 

*This is a non profit project done out of the love for people.

All of this is unacceptable

Seriously, no one should put up with harassment; not guys or girls!

I’ve seen plenty of posts about this happening to girls, but this is the first I’ve seen about guys getting crap at cons, and I’m so glad it’s picking up speed. Harassment of any kind is not acceptable, and we don’t need that in our community. Keep cons safe and friendly, guys. Cosplay is not consent ā¤

Be nice to the creative people, not mean and creepy!
