Who else do you think would be willing to join Soundwave’s and Megatron’s gross cannibal club? Gravescratch? Starscream? I know Knock Out would probably like the aesthetique of it and the whole dismemberment bit, but DANG is it messy and time-consuming and horrible on his finish. Airachnid would love it, but she won’t ask to join out of spite and Soundwave won’t offer. Shockwave would probably slorp energon with a proboscis like the world’s bustiest butterfly.

Starscream is a Seeker, formerly near-nobility, and recoils from the very idea. Probably sneers and calls everyone involved “disgusting savages”. 

Knock Out won’t touch drained energon or protoflesh as a meal, something about his systems being too refined for such garbage, but will take a body apart just out of general him-ness.

Gravescratch eats just about anything he kills, including people. Definitely including people. And one of the Functionalists, or so he claims. He can digest metal and protoflesh, making him the only person who’s never gone hungry during the war- there’s always scavengers to be had. To him, the entire planet is edible, and so are limited amounts of organic things.

Blackspark doesn’t tend to eat people, since germs, but hunts and eats small animals for food. He’ll chew on people if he’s hungry enough. 

Shockwave is practical enough to do it, but prefers to process the energon first, deadpanning something about potential infections. He probably has a portable energon filtration system in subspace at all times for just that situation. Can’t eat the fleshy bits because he doesn’t have any teeth. 

Crucible (most people haven’t met him, short-but-solid mech whose alt is his namesake) isn’t proud of it, but he’s eaten corpses. Mostly out of fear- he has very high fuel needs, especially if he’s been using his alt mode, and panics at the potential of starving. Panics enough to overcome his squeamishness at the idea and be caught chewing on someone’s fuel pump. Unlike the others on this list, he feels bad about it, despite his usual pragmatism. Different upbringing. 

Warning: gore, cannibalism, general nastiness. Shortfic of Soundwave deciding that other people are edible. 

A shaky, gasping gurgle was the last sound out of the other
mech’s throat, accompanied by the grinding sound of Soundwave’s teeth sinking
deeper and scraping against something more solid than energon lines. The frame
tangled around his spasmed and went limp, and the steady gush of energon against
his dentae ebbed and stopped.

The roar of the crowd echoed in Soundwave’s audials as he
tore his teeth from the other’s throat, but every sound around him faded away
against the taste of the energon. He’d
had his teeth in an opponent before, but never that deep or for that long, never
with energon flooding into his mouth like-

Realizing his mouth was still full, Soundwave contemplated
spitting for a moment, then reconsidered and swallowed. It was a strange taste, the energon from another’s
veins, but he was hungry… and it was
hard to feel any respect for a mech who had been threatening him with all
manner of torment should he lose this match.

The energon spilling across the sands was starting to take
on a new meaning, and Soundwave’s slowly unwinding datacables tightened around
the mech’s limbs once again. Turning to stare at the crowd, he bared
energon-drenched fangs up at the stands for a moment, earning another roar of
approval for what they took to be savagery. Must not realize it was strategy-
more approval from them meant more energon for him.

And maybe that he would be allowed to keep his opponent’s
frame for some time before they took it to be smelted.

Soundwave turned away from the crowd, the frame still held
in his datacables, and strode back out of the arena with the lifeless thing
dragged behind him. Once back in his cell, he sat down and stared down at the
body, elevating the helm against the wall to keep too much energon from
draining onto the floor. He needed that.

Now… where did he look to get the most energon? The fuel
tank seemed obvious, but it would be full of bile as well, not safe to drink.
Unless- ah!

Narrow servos plucked at the muscle cables in the body’s
stomach, then Soundwave dug his claws in and tore, wrenching them out of the
way and carving deeper until he’d exposed the dim blue glow of the fuel tank.
As he’d expected, the portion of the tank that would hold energon during
processing was almost empty, but the reservoir-
the reservoir, where energon was held before being pumped into the frame,
was full. That was vein-energon,
essentially, and Soundwave grasped at the lines leading from the pump without a
second thought.

The veins slid under his servos, slick and wet, but he
caught and held and tied them in
knots to trap the energon inside. Next- no, no, don’t rip the organ out, it
would rupture. Carefully, carefully, slice into the processing tank and cut it
through, then cut the veins, then lift slowly, slowly-

And there it was. An organ filled with energon, clean, fresh
energon, still hot and mineral-rich, his for
the taking-

Too hungry to wait any further, Soundwave lifted the tank to
his lips, bit into it, tilted it back, and drank-
long, deep swallows, growling softly as the energon gushed over his glossa
and down his throat. He should probably have been disgusted with what he was
drinking, but it was good, it was clean- it was fuel.

When the tank was empty, Soundwave nibbled lightly at the
edges, tasting, then set it aside and looked the body over again. After a
moment, he picked up one end of a thick vein, tied it into a knot, and followed
it down into the body, eventually pulling a length of energon-filled vein free.
Another knot to that end, then a careful bite into the center, and Soundwave
lifted the vein to drain the energon into his throat. When that was empty, he nipped lightly at it, then ripped a piece free
and chewed lightly for a moment before swallowing. Strange taste, but- food,
wasn’t it?

Setting the vein aside for now, Soundwave shook his servos
clean and climbed up onto his cot, eyeing the body and trying to decide what he
would do with it when his frame was ready for more energon. Perhaps try to
drain it? That might be difficult to do cleanly with the bile of the fuel tank
spilled into the innards, though. Next time he’d have to avoid that, maybe lift
the entire fuel tank free and drain the bile before drinking.

Next time?

Yes.

Next time.

Pennywise is actually genderfluid

iwilleatyourenglish:

that-pissed-off-tolkien-blogger:

If you read the book, Stephen King specifically says that IT (the shape-shifting monster also known as Pennywise) is female and pregnant. This is why the Losers’ Club has to come back and finish what they started when they were kids. 

However, IT chooses primarily male forms or genderless forms to kill and terrorize the children with. 

So, IT specifically chooses to fluctuate between female, male, and genderless presentations, making IT genderfluid.

Pennywise for genderfluid Icon!

Pennywise:

  • Is an ancient, eldritch being from another dimension with a form that humans cannot even begin to comprehend and is, thus, unlikely to give a fuck about gender
  • Can shapeshift into people’s worst fears and does so frequently to terrorize its victims
  • Feeds off of fear
  • Literally tears children

    apart

    and eats them

  • Keeps an entire town under a spell in which no adults can truly recognize the suffering of children, even when they’re being assaulted, sexually abused, abducted, and murdered
  • Delights in the violent, homophobic assault of a gay man before taking the man from his attackers and ripping him apart while his lover watches
  • Delights in racist violence and was fueled by the KKK’s presence in Derry, as well as a white supremacists’ torching of a black nightclub

the “Babadook is a gay icon” thing was a joke born from a technical error on Netflix. let’s… not associate evil, child eating monsters with LGBT+ people maybe

New research shows 0.6% of rape allegations are false.

and for those interested, you can find the report HERE

Just in case any dudebros are unclear on what this means: it means that your buddy who totally just had some bitch trying to ruin his life by accusing him of rape…almost certainly actually did rape her.  

Just keep that in mind.

Yeah man, imagine that, bitches don’t be lying.

Can we put this into context? It means that 99.4% of rape allegations are true

It means that 99.4% of rape allegations are true.

When you read through and learn about those 0.6% who did make false allegations, there are some seriously important things to note. Firstly :

“Furthermore, the report shows that a significant number of these cases involved young, often vulnerable people. About half of the cases involved people aged 21 years old and under, and some involved people with mental health difficulties. In some cases, the person alleged to have made the false report had undoubtedly been the victim of some kind of offence (sic), even if not the one which he or she had reported.
And then, when you get into the case studies you find things like a 14 year old girl sleeping with an 18 year old. When discovered, she claimed the sex was non-consensual in fear of her father’s disapproval, but investigation of texts and emails found that to be untrue. THAT SAID, the 18 year old was found to have a history of pursuing and seducing many very young girls, and once he was counseled he expressed not only regret over his actions, but the knowledge that he was purposefully picking vulnerable girls who could be easily manipulated into consent.

Another case was a married couple, where the wife claimed rape and domestic violence, so the husband was arrested and held. After some contact between the two while he was incarcerated, she went back to him and wanted the charges dropped. It’s okay because she still loves him. When the DA decided to keep going, she suddenly said that she made it up and he never raped her at all.
Further counseling revealed that the allegations were true, but she didn’t want to be without him so she lied about the allegations being false.
I don’t know about you, but this kind of sounds like classic domestic violence, and the kind of patterns you get into after living with an abuser.
The point I’m trying to make is that even though there are 0.6% false claims… when you break them down you find that there’s generally a lot of skeevy shit going on, and like the above quote, many of the alleged rape victims are actual victims of other abuses. For some of them, I’m guessing that an allegation of rape was the only way to bring enough attention to their abuse to finally get protection by law enforcement, or enough care from family to be freed from their abusive situations and moved somewhere safe. Some are mentally ill and have been taken advantage of, or are victims of statutory rape because they are not even remotely mature enough to truly consent to a sexual relationship with an adult.
These cases aren’t just as simple as, “some bitch regretted sex and cried rape”.

The title might seem misleading, but if you do the math, you realize the horror of this. Rape is a real issue, no matter the gender of the rapist or the victim.

So what I’m saying here, guys, is CUT IT THE FUCK OUT AND TREAT EACH OTHER LIKE HUMAN BEINGS.

New research shows 0.6% of rape allegations are false.

Can they not advertise 50 Shades literally everywhere??? The movie is 100% about sex like?? Children exist, Straight People??

Y’all say that the LGBT community pushes agendas everywhere yet so far I’ve seen hetero sex on billboards, ads, commercials, buses, etc.

Because at the end of the day, for some reason straight people genuinely believe that BDSM sex between a white heterosexual couple is more acceptable than a gay couple holding hands in the background of a Disney channel show.

Abusive BDSM sex, at that.
