Part two-skies of Stop Me memes! These kinda took longer than they should've because I was busy with other stuff, but I am planning to post some more fanart (actual fanart, not the meme kind)!

Hope you enjoy these, @megadoomingir :)

I swear, this was literally him 24/7... This is how I felt trying to draw this because I kept getting confused when drawing the arms.

Kinda based on chapter 219, when Starscream had shown off his sick paint job and flight skills before screaming with everyone. I really like how the sky turned out, though I should probably start cleaning up those little guideline marks in the future...

Here's an alternate version of the last meme taking place after Starscream's paint job; I mainly made this one so it was easier to tell it was Stop Me Starscream instead of Canon Starscream since the optic is kinda small to see.

MEME REFERENCES/TEMPLATES USED :

(Uncolored version of the other one because I thought it looked cool.)

I think the quality might've got nerfed... Ignore that.

Han, Leia and Luke as a trio in the first movie is so funny because Leia and Luke are revolutionaries who have lost absolutely everything and Han is like those guys with a sports car that revs their engines super loudly when they drive through tunnels

You know you’re a liberal if you think abortion is a completely justified act of self defense but shooting a person actively trying to kill you is murder.

Ayoo just to preempt the inevitable dumb takes we’re about to start seeing;

I am PRO-WOOL

I am PRO-LEATHER

I am PRO-BEES

Fuck the idea of replacing durable, sustainable animal products with cheap, flimsy plastic that doesn’t bio-degrade. Agave nectar and other artificial sweeteners are expensive, labor-intensive, and destroy the environment to be farmed.

Do not buy into pernicious marketing campaigns pushed by dickhead organizations trying to stay relevant, like PETA.

“but the industry-”

listen there is a huge difference between an industry with problems that can be made sustainable and more humane, and an industry that cannot, given current technology, continue to the present degree without destroying our planet

Wool - Contrary to what bullshit mongers like PETA would have you believe, wool is one of the most ethical materials humans have ever worked with. Happy sheep make better wool, experienced shearers seldom nick their sheep, and older sheep produce more wool, meaning its best to keep them alive and treat them well for many years.

Leather - one cow makes SO MUCH leather. One deer makes SO MUCH leather. Well-treated leather lasts almost FOREVER. Even animals with small skins like rabbits, a pair of well oiled rabbit leather gloves will last decades. Every animal usually made into leather is also a meat animal, so it’s more sustainable to get more than one product from a single ethically butchered animal (humane kills make less punctures in the hide!) Leather can be tanned with natural resources like brains and doesn’t require treatment with chemicals that seep into the groundwater!

Cotton: Cotton is a fucking plant, it burns. The growing and harvesting of cotton is rather water intensive but it IS possible to sustainably harvest and reuse the water spent in the cleaning process to reduce the ecological footprint of the crop. It burns clean, it cuts clean, it’s sturdy, and there are 1000 ways to weave it to change its properties.

Bees & Honey: yes yes, the european honey bee is an invasive species, we know that. But honey has been cultivated by humans for just about as long as there have been humans, and they 100% choose to be cultivated. Like bees can and will leave if they’re not treated and maintained well. They understand that humans protect and clean the hives, and often become familiar with their keepers, choosing to walk on and investigate them instead of acting defensive. If animal welfare and consent are your concerns, honeybees aren’t the animals to worry about. If you, like me, are worried about native bee species, instead of creating hives you can strip an area of grass and leave an open area of clay and sandy soil to attract mason and digger bees to nest in the spring. They will happily coexist with honey bees as long as you plant the native keystone species the native bees rely on (like indian blanket flower, partridge pea, native violets in my area) as well as the high nectar plants that honeybees prefer (like roses, sunflowers, bee balm and cone flowers). Nature is actually really adaptable and accommodating of the human urge to cultivate plants and animals, and the idea that nature is ‘dead’ rather than ‘neglected’ is something that corporations want you to believe so you don’t oppose them spraying pesticides every 15 feet.

The leather one really pisses me off.

“You’re killing animals for their skin!”

No, Becky, we’re killing animals for food. What do you want us to do with the skin after wards? Throw it away? Do you think planting dead animal skins in the ground grows new animals?

They actually make physical media for a much larger percentage of movies than they ever did in the past. Often with a lot more care than any small release was treated in the early dvd days. Its just if you only watch streaming stuff or the big new recent box office hits you won't see that. It is so ridiculously easy to get physical media for movies that even 5 years ago you couldn't even find. Like yes Netflix is a stingy bastard but so many things are available on disc WITH special features than ever before

And here is where you can get them! (mostly American)

And specific labels:

And many of these have sales several times a year so if you're patient you don't need to buy full price for any of it.

For operas, ballets and theatre:

Two stores I've used personally (In the U.S)

Thriftbooks<--sells second hand dvds on the cheap.

I would abort the fuck out of these thangs

It's so funny that they always show actual babies when talking about what happens at certain weeks. Because this a fetus at 5 weeks when it gets it's eye.

For the record that's the size of a sesame seed.

For the record, you are showing an actual baby too. And even when they are the size of a sesame seed it’s not ok to kill them.

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.
