I'm still trying to figure out Wafrn's functions and I thought the "rewoot" option let you add a comment but apparently it's similar to Bluesky and you need to use the quote option for that 🙈 Anyway, I drew the cover for this amazing sequel and I'd be happy if y'all checked it out, it's really been scratching my itch for more YOI goodness 💙

Transformers G1/IDW Fanfic Rec

Not good enough by SpinoGuy
Word Count: 1k+
Rating: T
Category: Drama (Gen)

An angsty Rodimus Prime-centered fic, in which he does what he can to make amends regardless of risk to himself. This was a heartbreaking read in the best way imaginable.

The fic borrows elements from IDW and G1, and while the IDW elements were well-integrated, what really spoke to me was how the flaws of his G1 self are highlighted. He is so, so good, but he barely gives himself any credit. He's not just a good leader, but a good person, even if it might run against better judgment. His inadequacy, recklessness, selflessness—they all shine through here.

The other characters felt fleshed out and real as well, and you could see a glimpse of the world continuing to spin, proverbially, in spite of the tragedies faced. If you like Rodimus even a little, I highly reccommend giving this gem a read!

Tomorrow we are going to my boyfriend's dad's place to eat brunch, and then we are going to visit some horses! I'm excited because we have been hearing about these horses for years, but never met them.

I'm also feeling a tiny bit awkward because I just recently reread New Big Feels by @agoodboysforeverhole, and it's the only thing I can think of every time our brunch + horses plans get mentioned.

Just in case you ever get a chance to have brunch and meet horses, you should read it too!

Nie Mingjue/Song Lan, 5.5k, modern AU (on a made-up island in the Pacific Ocean), just... the best vibes.

Transformers One Fanfic Rec

In Spite of It. by Gigzmcgeezie

A postwar fic told from Megatron's perspective. He and Optimus watch the sky from the place where the former betrayed the latter, and they reflect on their long war.

A simple enough premise―but it's executed masterfully. The author nailed Megatron's character, even weaving in elements from other continuities, such as his penchant for poetry in IDW. His banter with Optimus, the way he shifts between poetic and snarky, is excellent.

While the authorial intent appears to be to ship them (MegOp is tagged), it can also be enjoyed in a platonic way. Even after supposed millennia of war, their interactions feel like their old selves have met each other again, and it’s absolutely beautiful.

Got to see the new Venom film this week.

Loved it.

It has rekindled my love for all things Venom after being a bit disappointed by the second movie.

Anyone got any #Venom fanfic recs?

(My trawling of AO3 has been hard going to find the types of long, explicit fics I'm used to in my main fandoms.)

I read a lot more fic than I thought but that's because I read several long, chaptered fics.

I am having a very emotional moment about the fact that someone wrote me a Wang Lingjiao character study in the Wei Wuxian's Birthday Exchange this year!
