I LIIIIIVE!

So yeah I think I'm on the tail end of a 24-hour bug. My immune system = awesome. I tend to let my fevers do their thing (they actually serve a purpose, you know) unless they get too bad, so I was pretty loopy last night and did things like
1. Talk to Pell
2. Finish typing and attempt to go back to whatever tab I was in
3. Can't remember which tab, frown at having so many, pick one at random
4. Start reading/watching whatever it is
5. Repeat with a different tab

I am still feverish enough that my spine continues to scream in horror at existing, and the first thing I did this morning was pry a bunch of junk off my tonsils, and my ears are STILL draining into my throat, but altogether it wasn't that bad. I might actually be able to do stuff later.

Hilarious excerpts from last night (aka why you should always chat with me if my status says I'm sick):

*snerk!* Guess I'll just have to keep posting pseudo-anonymously on the kink meme, then. ^__^ Probably helps that I just hang out on ff.net and the kink meme, instead of any of the actual social interaction comms. =P

Neat article! (oh god, I'm horribly petrified and allergic to bees, even just closeup photos of them freak me out! [skips hastily to text part]) I'm skipping/handwaving over the whole "short lived drone" idea - sort of rolling up the drone and soldier ideas into a complete package. And I should totally be doing schoolwork, NOT writing Ironhide/Prime/Ratchet threesomes. ARGH.

[swordage]

NOT writing Ironhide/Prime/Ratchet threesomes

NO NO KEEP WRITING THE THREESOMES /is such a bad influence

The DW crowd is pretty sweet, it's just LJ and DevArt you need to look out for, although the DA crowd doesn't usually overlap with the LJ crowd.

I really like the drone/soldier idea. It makes me all nostalgic for Beast Wars. Awww Inferno you are so cute when you call Megatron your Queen and then set everything on fire while cackling and shrieking without any regard for your own safety. ♥

I think rolling the reproductive functions in with societal functions would be even more complex and mind-blowing, idk how much you've already thought about it - but I figure a build like, say, Sideswipe has a different function than a build like Ratchet. Thus subdivisions like construction, or speed, or what have you. Not sure how the development or overlap would work. HMMM TIME TO PONDER. :D My favorite part!

...omg, I swear to god Ratchet just somehow inserted a (still vaguely hot) gynecology exam into the middle of sex. x___X Prime's not sure if he should be protesting like hell at being tricked, or just demand Ratchet get back to the GOOD part.

PFFFFT. Okay, I may catch holy hell on DA when I get around to drawing posting all my redesigns for my stupid eon spanning EPIC. =P OH WELL! Though really, given some of the OC junk that floats through the TF comms on DA, I don't think anybody should complain about redesigns for canon characters. =P Goodness knows TPTB of the franchise do it often enough.

Heeeeee! Yeah. I sort of went with looking at their respective movie-verse histories first and then their frame types. Sideswipe's a soldier model, like Ironhide, but he's a juvenile. Sort of late teen equivalent, not really mature yet. Ratchet's equivalent would be an attendant bee, one of the ones who mainly takes care of the queen. Jolt and Arcee are both generalized worker bees, they've just had to learn how to be soldiers during the war (that's totally not what their original functions were, though). The minor!twins are, god help everyone, nursery workers like Bee - or they WOULD be if they weren't, y'know, pre-teen juveniles and brain addled from being experimented on by mad Decepticon scientists. As it is, Bee ain't letting them anywhere NEAR the eggs. =P

Hey, medical fetish is a totally legitimate thing! :D The more kink, the merrier, I always say.

I honestly don't know too much about the DA fandom, but redesigns tend to get a mix of very positive and very negative comments. Be bold, I guess! XD

You have put so much thought into this and it makes me ridiculously happy ♥ I can't wait to see where the story goes. :3
