"i was a transtrender" no you werent. you were just questioning your identity and then you decided that wasn't for you. that's a fucking healthy thing to do. fuck off lmao
Questioning is:
-healthy
-common
-normal
Questioning isn't:
-an excuse to be transphobic towards often young individuals
I once thought I was asexual and it turned out I actually wasnโt ready to have sex before I had transitioned to a point where I was more comfortable with my body.ย
And in that time, the asexual community welcomed me, supported me, helped me feel good about who I was, protected me from the harm I would have done to myself if I had pushed myself to have sex. That made a huge difference.
If I see an opportunity to support asexual organizations, I do so not just because itโs good but also because they were there for me in a difficult part of my life without judgement. I owe them for that.
If you at one point identified as transgender or questioned your gender identity, maybe you too sought a home in the wrong place because you were struggling with something else. And it is very likely that the people in that home, the transgender community, believed you and welcomed you and listened to you.
And then when it turns out that you were searching for the wrong thing, you donโt just leave that community behind but you turn around and shit on them? Shame on you. What a shitty thing to do.

we repost just so i can move his etching
@ghotstx HERE im sorry for clickbaiting you here :)
Also I canโt make this up, I literally mixed up ur username w another person so..welcome.? Haha
Anyway, I'm FINALLY getting time to add to my TF Prime Numbers AU, starting with a little Orion ref/doodle sheet. This mostly helps me get to know what kind of character I'd like this version of him to be. (and ngl the plot has been whooping me idk what's happening or why sometimes :() )
This is Orion! Or, as the other bots know him,"37." (Iโll explain it later gng)
Here, heโs been with the autobots for around four vorns, (since he was just over 13 vorns old.)ย
- His Weapon isn't the familiar star saber or Zeta Prime's Axe. This choice involves his 'childhood', as does his design. I kept his lovable boxyness (well i love it) but made him less detailed, with less armor in general- though specifically around the joints. This is mostly because I wanted him to be a smaller bot, with an emphasis on his agility and flexibility, rather than being a heavy hitter. (at least in his youth.)
- The Matrix also has a bit of change in its functionality, use, and importance to the plot.
Both of which I'll expand on in a separate post.
DON'T BE MISTAKEN by my choices in drawing him, he's never without the face mask unless alone.
-------------------------------------------------
The little doodles I have of him are more so to solidify his personality while he's this age range, but this is dependent on whatโs going on around him as well. His age has proven to complicate some of my plot, but since heโd bonded with the Matrix at 13, it made sense to me that heโd been gradually reformatted in that short span of time between that and joining the autobots by the Matrix . So he appears much older. (Iโll explain it later gang Ik itโs weird but its important hshgjfhd)
- Since taking up residence in the main Autobot Outpost on Cybertron, Orion, or "37" works mostly in solo reconnaissance, scouting territories, or pathfinding for small teams on other kinds of missions. When on base. He focuses on compiling the small amount of data the Autobot faction has managed to gather or receive on any prominent threats.
- He โmoved inโ with the Autobots around an earth year after the โ Fall of Gold.โ (as many bots had not-so-fondly begun calling it.) This event being the night that Decepticon forces raided, and then destroyed the large informational hubs of Iacon. This included but was not limited to the Senate Hall, Multiple high class Universities, and the Records tower. To many this marked the true beginning of the war- as the attack and largely successful destruction of such a profound city solidified the danger of the rapidly growing Decepticon movement.ย After Iacon fell, the other strongholds of the planet have been slow, but surely following.
- In his free time, heโs always reading, thinking, filing, sorting, polishing, solving- 'doing' something. there isn't a spare second he's not busying his mind, or if he can't at least manage that, his servos.ย
- Orion is not social in the SLIGHTEST with new bots. (this being all of his Autobot peers)ย It 100% creeps everyone else out when he attempts to be. (he's got these large, piercing, non-emotive optics that seem to stare past and yet into anyone who's got his attention- and WOW is it an alarming, unreadable, gaze to be caught in if you don't know him well.)
- The rare moment or two he does find himself in a conversation about something other than strategy or information he'd gathered- others find his conversation.. lacking at most. It's not that he isn't interested, not at all. It's more so that any personal information he dares to give away may end up doing more harm to his goals among the autobots than good. It sure is a lot easier to keep your origins to yourself, if everyone's too intimidated or put off to speak with you.
- It's mostly because of this, that he prefers quietly watching and taking things in, over putting himself into a conversation. It's simply how he's accustomed to and has been taught how to function. Observing and compiling, interpreting and mimicking.
- (That being said he is still a โteenagerโ so it sort of sucks trying to keep himself isolated.)
- His more reclusive behavior tends to keep other bots from bothering him. His quietly observant posture and constantly active tendencies often leave the others assuming he's got no time for- or interest in talking.
- ย He sees all of this as a good thing, the first few vorns of living with the bots, as heโs committed to putting all of his focus on figuring out this weird matrix thing. More importantly, keeping the fact that it forced its way onto his spark and wonโt come off- ย a secret. (Not to mention he canโt afford to be distracted by bots he doesnโt entirely trust.)
- But considering Commander Magnus and Medical Officer Ratchet have already been looking at him as if trying to remember something theyโd once known- he might not be able to make that last.
- โฆlet's hope no one puts the pieces together on where he came from before he can figure out how to explain it.
Admittedly, this style has a different feel than the ones I'm accustomed to creating in- and trying to keep the characters to a consistent level of both simplistic and shapey is already proving to be a fun challenge. Iโve been working on this idea for a while, and I have a lot of other little details or broad stories to fill in. PLEASE I can talk and brainstorm about this all day. I've already got a google doc and MAD plotholes.
(Vorn = 83ish earth years, which I use interchangeably with an earth year for easier understanding, because of the long lifespans.)

like brother if it even crosses your mind for a second to call the cops on ANYONE for ANY REASON you are not punk or progressive or whatever label you use to try and feel Cool and Moral. you are a poser and a threat to the vulnerable individuals in your life
Pulling the tags into the light
you people are fucking tar pits and actively a threat to your community moreso than some loud partiers could ever be
in the first town i was hosting shows in a noise complaint ticket was $2000; minimum wage was $9 at the time and you got one month to pay the ticket. even if everyone in the punk house had been working full time, we literally would not have been able to afford both the ticket and rent between all of us. we paid it by putting on more shows (hey, concerned citizen? guess whst the direct result of calling the cops on us was?) but that only raised about half the money and was a significant community effort - it still fucked us financially for months.
if we didn't have musical scene there that was both willing to give financially and do a lot of unpaid organizing relatively quickly, it's likely the ticket would've gone to warrant, which would've probably resulted in criminal charges as it wasn't something we could afford without fundraising. that's permanent record shit. like, potential job denial for the rest of your life and potential current job loss, as the cops will generally stick you in jail for a bit when picking you up on warrant.
and those consequences don't even consider police brutality! like, the pigs only work as "mediators" because of their legitimized threat of violence and you just sent them to go deal with a drunken crowd. that's frankly fucking hopeful that it gets resolved peacefully. they are not effective mediators and it's completely disingenuine to pretend that they are.
i know for a non-zero percent of cop callers, permanently ruining someone's life and/or bringing physical harm to that person is an appropriate punishment for being kept up a bit late on a saturday night (go die in a hole if you think this btw), but for everyone else i'm begging you to understand that a permanent record and getting dragged out of your home and tossed in the drunk tank is the normal expected result of calling of the cops for a noise complaint. you cannot seriously consider doing this to another human being and imo it's even worse that you are doing this to a neighbour.
Is a noise complaint worth your neighbors life? Those people sleeping in the parking lot... if you call the police cuz you think theyre high and they get murdered, will you be at peace? The people at the apartment pool who don't live there, are you okay with them dying there just because they don't live there and you think that deserves a call to the police?
No?
Then mind your business.
Go somewhere else. Take a walk. Finish your shopping. Let them swim. Let them party.
But don't sit there in someone else's tags saying "I wish murder was okay sometimes" over some noise and act like the OTHER person is the danger, like they're the one unfit for society.
Some of yall are fucking freaks and the white supremacy coming off of you is so strong it reeks.
