Thundercracker's Glory IntroIt was sound that returned first -- the groan of the ruined building settling around her, the sizzle of ripped wiring and circuitry, the hiss of air cycling through her own vents. Her audials, still partially stunned from the terrible rending explosion that had knocked her offline to begin with, tingled with pain as they received the new sounds, making her cranial shell throb. That pain only made her aware of other pains throughout her body -- scratches and dents the blast had inflicted upon her, and a painful weight on her left leg.   
Cautiously she flicked on her optics, and their faint glow played upon the plating of her own arm Thundercracker's Glory Intro

Thundercracker's Glory Part IA small part of her CPU was taken up with wondering how it was possible to be surrounded by mechs, yet still feel so alone. As she sat on the cold bench in the Decepticon medical center, kicking her feet anxiously, medics and aides and the walking wounded rushed past her in all directions, their optics looking straight past her as if she were a hologram. That wondering portion of her mind wanted to pretend she was sitting, not on the bench, but back in her room watching the traffic roar past her window in endless waves, moving all around her without actually touching her...   
But the rest of her CPU seethed with painful memories an Thundercracker's Glory Part I

Thundercracker's Glory Part 2"No way!" Skywarp guffawed, leaning against the doorframe of Thundercracker's quarters. "No slaggin' way! You, in charge of a sparkling?"   
Thundercracker ignored the black Seeker, concentrating on assembling the small recharge bunk. He had no idea how Swindle had managed to get ahold of the thing, but seeing as it looked to be built with a minibot in mind, he guessed that some sort of business deal with the Autobots was responsible. The Combaticon could declare his loyalty to Megatron all he wanted, but in reality his loyalty belonged to the highest bidder, regardless of what side they were on.

I'm not dumb, I just have a command of thoroughly useless information. -- Calvin, The Days Are Just Packed

Okay, I honestly need to quit reading stuff that I KNOW will give me nightmares. Or at the very least freak me out enough to make me lose sleep...

I admit it. I'm a wimp. I know I'll probably never be able to watch certain movies -- horror, slasher, zombie, violent shoot-em-ups... heck, I'm not sure I can handle the Alien movies. It's so bad that just reading a plot synopsis of some movies can freak me out, especially if said synopsis includes screencaps.

So why do I go and look up movies that I know are going to scare me somehow? Train-wreck syndrome? Am I just a masochist in that way?

This time around it wasn't horror movies per se -- it was nuclear-war movies, specifically The Day After, Threads, and When the Wind Blows. And the synopsis of that last one was even thoughtful (or cruel) enough to provide a link to the scans of the comic book it was based off of. And I know, the Cold War is over and Russia and the US are no longer threatening each other with nuclear strikes, but still, it's a subject that's bound to make anyone jittery, right?

So yeah, last night I was up half the night because of a nightmare about a bomb going off near our house. I feel ashamed to admit it, but there you go.

What's funny is that I can read horror fiction just fine most of the time -- Stephen King gets a little intense and squicky in parts, but he hasn't given me nightmares yet. I guess it's because with a book, you control what you "see" to some extent, but with a movie synopsis, you know it's visual and so you're trying to picture it in your head... and sometimes your imagination comes up with something far more awful than what's actually on the screen.

So there's my embarassing confession for the week, I guess. *slinks off to hide*

God forbid Sideswipe tries to make 3d holograms of these guys. He'd have them chasing/following everyone around the Ark.

Q: How many Transformers fans does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Eight. One to change it, and the rest to complain that the light bulb was so much better back in the 80s.

Indeed. Spongmonkeys are the stuff of nightmares. And to think they used them for Quiznos ads years ago.

Say, Kenya, what do you think of the idea of a "Transformers/Ghostbusters" crossover? "TF" and "GB" both came out in the same year, and I just want your opinion on it.
:iconkenyastarflight:
*kenyastarflight Nov 4, 2009, 9:35:55 PM
I'm not interested in such an idea at this time. And at the moment, I'm not taking requests or suggestions. I have enough projects lined up to keep me busy for a long time yet.

@Kenya: "The Nightmare Before Christmas" was released on DVD last year as a two-disc collector's edition. You say that movie gave you a fanfic idea?
:iconkenyastarflight:
*kenyastarflight Oct 27, 2009, 5:33:06 AM
The movie didn't give me the idea. I've had the idea for years. Just happened to post about the movie and the idea at the same time.
