Some Cursed Transformers Thoughts

Some cursed Transformers thoughts

Energon comes from Primus' body. He nurses his young.

In continuities where energon is blood, everybody is a vampire. They're cannibalizing their god. It's like transubstantiation except actually true.

Primus gives birth to the cybertronians, who are themselves sterile. He's an insect queen.

Does that mean TFP Optimus becomes the insect queen at the end, since Primus died and he merged with The Allspark?

Marvel G1 Optimus' body is the one true source of life. HE is the insect queen.

Marvel G1 Shockwave noncon bred Optimus' severed head to create the Marvel G1 Constructicons (this is literally the canon, i'm just explaining it cursedly. Idk if what Shockwave did was more analogous to impregnating Optimus, or to making Optimus impregnate him).

TFP Shockwave sure likes making babies. Does he have a breeding kink or something?

Covenant Of Primus, while having inconsistent characterization, had Shockwave seeming to have an obsession with having a lot of children (bots he experimented on and altered).

TFP Shockwave is also obsessed with making dinosaurs and dragons. Is he some kind of a scalie???

A Vital Part of Your Body Will Continue to Live Years After You Die

Each human body contains a complex community of trillions of microorganisms that are important for your health while you're alive.

I'm working on clearing out some old tabs, and ran across this piece from last fall. The short version is that your gut microbiome and other microbes that accompany you in a series of symbiotic relationships throughout your lifetime persist even after you die. While you might assume that these bacteria and other little beings would perish along with you once you're no longer warm and living, it turns out that they shift gears upon your death, being part of the massive effort to return your remains en masse to the nutrient cycle.

There's honestly something rather poetic about that. Here you've spent a lifetime being the center of a holobiont--a sort of miniature, migratory ecosystem. And these many millions of life forms that you have given safe harbor to for thousands upon thousands of their generations are among the funerary vanguard caring for your remains after you're gone. They pour forth from their ancestral lands--the gut, the skin, and other discrete places--and spread out through even the most protected regions of your form.

And then, just as you constructed your body, molecule by molecule, from a lifetime of nutrients you consumed, so do these microbes go through the process of returning everything you borrowed back to the wider cycles of food and growth and life and death. The ancient halls where their ancestors lived in relative stability are now taken apart in the open air, and their descendants will disperse their inheritance into the soil and the water through the perpetual process of decomposition.

I've always wanted a green burial, and I find it comforting that when my remains are laid in the ground, they'll be accompanied by the tiny ecosystems I spent a lifetime tending, and who will return the favor by sending my molecules off in a billion new directions.

Oh ):

me: maybe this time i’m finally over him. maybe this time i can move on
