going back to Skybound Transformers after catching up to CSM will be like

finally caught up to CSM, & I have so many thoughts…

obv it’s abt trying to carry on with your life as society collapses. but it’s also abt how capitalism corrupts human connection down to family, & how hegemonic masculinity, worker’s exploitation, & child abuse are intertwined + worsened by war

catching up on Chainsaw Man

Ok that’s my bad 🤦🏽‍♀️ though Issue 43 still contains an image of a similarly-dressed hippie woman spitting on someone — while not as mean-spirited as the ‘Nam cover, still conveys the same sentiment. Hama wrote the script for this.

I’ve never wanted to rob somebody so fast. you don’t deserve AULDEY Elita-1

K it’s not their worst post, but it’s still not free of their bizarre entitled Gee-Wunner “Elita-1 can’t deviate a millimeter from her flawless 80s self! (their crack tradwife self-insert fanfiction)”

Skybound spoilers ///

The nicest thing I can say about Cliffjumper & Elita’s dynamic here is that it’s kinda giving ADHD flunkee living under a divorced single immigrant mommy’s roof lol

TOMORROW IS ELITA-1's BIRTHDAY... I doubt I'll have time to draw anything for her 😔

US imperialism & suicide CW ///

yea I wish Elita-1 had directed that planet-sucking ray squarely over the US lol

Skybound Elita may have made my job as Elita One’s Yuri Soldier much more challenging than I’d ever anticipated, but I’ll serve my pink revolutionary icon no matter what <3

so I appreciate that the current-running G1 retelling comic finally went, “wait, isn’t it really fucked-up how Elita-1 was left to lead a struggling cause on a dying planet for millennia?”. Unfortunately, both the comic & fandom demonize her for prioritizing her own home over a random-ass planet 🫠

As messed-up as it is that Optimus effectively ghosted his wife for 4 million years, she was more of the ep writer’s OC than anything, so she wasn’t intended to be a recurring character 😔
(this is highlighted by how her first piece of merch was a Japan-exclusive garage kit made a decade later 🥲)

Ok, so — in the OG 80s lore, the Autobots ended up on Earth after the Decepticons crashed their Ark, leaving them in hibernation for millennia. But one ep of the cartoon reveals the Autobots had a co-leader, Elita-1, who fought to keep their antifascist resistance alive on their home planet

maybe I’m just a bitter Elita stan, but every time Optimus in Skybound lamented how long his war is & how much he’s lost, I’m just… bitch you took a really long nappy while your wife was fighting for her life 😭

(Violence CW) DWJ might’ve been inspired by Nausicaa, except her turning point is when she kills soldiers invading her nation. Her mentor stops her kinda like OP did with Arcee, except it's to prevent conflict with the fantasy IDF, not to proselytize 💀 She then makes her OWN choice to not kill
October 28, 2025 at 6:07 AM
Yea 😭 tbh her arc about “losing control to rage” fell flat for me when the supposed consequences of it aren’t even her fault? I wish I could find the scene when OP reassures her touching, but Shockwave got the upper hand because OP distracted her by asking her to practice mindfulness in a warzone 🤦🏾‍♀️
October 28, 2025 at 5:43 AM
IMO Optimus’s pacifist ideology feels like a vague, shitty attempt at emulating Ghibli MCs like Nausicaa & Ashitaka - like Arcee protecting Skyward feels inspired by how Nausicaa absorbs pain to diffuse violence, except Nausicaa doesn’t try to force her no-kill rule on her followers like OP does 😔

I know I’ve been complaining alot abt the only ‘Merican comic I read, but it has given me a new appreciation for the war media I do like…

anyways, shoutout to OOMFIES’ gay indigenous comics about the importance of standing up to fight oppression 🫡

DWJ’s art has had me reflecting on cozy game discourse (& its limits as critique)

he’s the first Western artist I’ve seen draw inspiration from Ghibli’s violence & body horror, but IMHO his engagement with its war themes isn't that much deeper than the cozy ga- *gets shot by multiple firing squads*

My first ever look at G1 Optimus was at age 7, when I walked in our living room to see my family watching him on his death bed. My dad remarked, “watch this, he’s gonna transform into a coffin!”. When he rusted into a desiccated corpse instead, I was utterly disgusted.

one of these days I’ll use my ADHD powers to thorougly debunk the Elita-1 tradwives’ “modern Hasbro is sullying Gee Wun Elita's femininity" to out-stan them if nothing else

(I mean it’s not that hard to piece together that 80s Hasbro really hated female Transformers 🤡)
