G1 Transformers becomes a lot more unsettling to watch when you take into consideration that all the animation errors are canon.
What do you MEAN they’re canon?
You know Unicron? That old son of a gun turned out to be a multiuniversal singularity. Meaning: in all the Transformers universes there was only the one Unicron. The one from armada, the one from G1, the one from Prime. Every single one of them, the same guy existing at the same time in multiple continuities. Same thing for the 13 and Primus.
But then, in Energon, Unicron fucking died. Like, he ended up dead, that shit had never happened before. And Unicron passed from being alive and existing in all universes in tandem, to be dead in one of them. The fabric of reality couldn’t take it and started to collapse on itself (the setting in Cybertron) which manifests as all the errors that occur in all the continuities.
If I remember correctly, it’s called The Unicron Singularity
All the animation errors, all the continuity inconsistencies
Starscream had Thundercracker’s paintjob for a few frames? Unicron Singularity
A dead character appears on a crowd shot? Unicron Singularity
What the fuck have you done? I can’t handle this information!
It’s funny how some people don’t realize like. When I was in elementary school every year we had “intruder” drills. They were always kinda spooky but I never thought anything of it when I was a kid. The teacher would turn the light off and lock the room doors and we’d all have to quietly hide under desks until the intercom announced it was over. Sometimes there’d be someone walking around and trying the doors to the classrooms to make sure they were locked. Never seemed strange to me as a kid, but talking with my canadian spouse they look mortified
It’s wild how much of life in the US revolves around the unending threat of murder and violence. And by wild I mean a nightmare.

Well now you know, with this chart of the relative sizes of the Acts in Homestuck based on the number of pages in each Act!
(Just finished Act 3 out of 6? You are NOT halfway through!)
This is why when someone says they hate homestuck and I’m like did you read it??? and they’re like yeah I read Act 1 and I’m like ha ha ha Act 1 ain’t shit you literally read like tops only 4% of homestuck friend
This show is apparently too expensive for Nick to give a 2nd season to without knowing if audiences will enjoy it. That’s why it’s extremely important for us to watch and support it when it finally airs. We need to send a message to the network that original ideas are still worth investing in.
You know, Sometimes I forget Nick can do good animation
retail story time: ive probably told you this before but like a year ago at work i was closing and we are like five minutes from closing the doors and leaving. it’s late. we close at 10pm during the holiday season and it was like 9:56 when this woman walks in with a shopping cart.
now, if you work in retail, you know this sort of customer. those assholes who walk in right before you close and take their time shopping and act like they dont notice the announcements that “the store is now closed. please bring your final selection up to the front for checkout.” or that every employee is so fucking done for the night and want to get home. or that they are the only customer in the store. and when they have a shopping cart, you know they’re gonna be a while.
so a solid half hour after we are officially closed this woman comes to my register, because i am the only one open. because it’s ten fucking thirty pm and everyone else is ready to leave and ive been stuck here for eleven hours because someone called out and i was already there and a fucking idiot.
and this woman, she’s a Suburban Mom
™ type and, like all the fucking moms who come into this store, she doesnt have a coupon because she expects us to just give it to her. and we will, if they ask. except i, after a solid hour of no customers and foolishly thinking nobody would come, had gotten rid of my coupons a few minutes before she walked in. so when she asks if i had a coupon i say no, i’m sorry, i don’t have one at the register.
and this woman, she leans in and tells me “you know, i’m a professional psychic.” and i think “oh christ here we go”
and long island medium here, immune to the glares of the other employees who want her to just fucking pay and leave, goes on and on about this boy who loves me. we are soul mates, she says. destined to be. but there is a power keeping us apart. she mentions this “power” keeping me from mr. right several times.
i, exhausted and frustrated and wanting to go home, reply “is it the power of me being a lesbian?”
