Maybe it’s because I used FF.net first going to ao3 when I was younger and ao3 felt like an upgraded version of that, so ao3 felt fairly easy to use and understandable to me.

I also remember when I tried to use Wattpad like, way back when and finding it way more confusing and inconsistent than the other two.

But it’s also like a cultural difference now at this point.

Cause like I saw a fic posted on ao3 just now and it’s just a short fic of someone introducing themselves and like “how confusing it is writing here compared to Wattpad”

(The puritans of the new arrivals are my biggest problem, the fact that they don’t understand don’t like don’t read irks me, but i gladly welcome new readers & authors otherwise)

But I also know objectively that it’ll take them a couple runs to fully discover the ao3 potential.

Again, I’m not mad at them being confused, we were all there at one point.
And of course ao3 is not perfect, lord knows that the exclude crossover filter still banes me.

It’s probably just that thing where some of the ones adapting are overtly loud and a tad annoying about it, particularly through their complaining.

I find it even funnier as a Bumblebee Fan
(He’s my favorite)

Like if I think about it, this is just more glaze for him about just how all encompassing he is.

He, Optimus, & Megatron are the faces of the franchise.

OUR GLORIOUS KING BUMBLEBEE. ✨👑✨

I also just think it’s funny how people are coming up with stories for it like it’s not really Bee it’s Cliffhanger or whatever his name is, who killed Bee outta jealousy and took his place.
Or how maybe he’s related to Unicron since he was also originally really small like the mini-cons in G1 or something.

I put a price alert a while back if he ever became 16$ and now he’s almost half of that

✨✨✨

Yayyyy 😊

Edit:
Like 1 day later he’s back to full price gang 😔

9 - Soundwave (part 1)
5 - Elita-1 (part 2)
4 - D-16 (part 3)
7 - B-127 (part 4) ✨

I love that bumblebee has two faces and he was “lucky number 7”
but I do wish that he had two full heads instead of just a face change,
since this means instead of popping his head on and off I have to pry and unbuild the built head so I can swap out the face. ;-;

He only has one blade but I can put it on either arm so that’s cool.

So which should I open next? :)

“Make Every Day”
“EARTH DAY”

It’s really funny to me that this was definitely just a generic phrase slapped on,
but like with bare minimum knowledge it sounds like cybertronian propaganda to take over Earth for themselves since cybertron is in ruins.

ESPECIALLY because they have Megatron there, like damn.

9 - Soundwave (part 1)
5 - Elita-1 (part 2)
4 - D-16 (part 3)

I love that D-15 has his Megatronus Sticker on him. I’m also glad his add on part is a weapon, and extra hands.

So which do I open next? :)

9 - Soundwave (Round 1)
5 - Elita-1 (Round 2)

I didn’t realize Elita-1 came with a cybertron Deer? That’s a fun side piece.

I also just think her unbuilt head looks fun/cool.

So which to open tomorrow? :)

EDIT:
( 4 has won by a resounding Landslide✨ )

I opened 9 first, it ended up Soundwave as seen in slide 3

I decide to open one a day since i ordered a clip thingy on Etsy that’ll let them ride on my shoulder, and it’ll arrive a few days after I open them all.

So which should I open tomorrow?

:)

EDIT:
(It has been decided that 5 won.)

I finally bit the bullet and got em off Amazon since it was a bit cheaper than on the official site.

I’m both fairly new to the scene, only a few months in,
I’ve grabbed got the classic classes before this. So this is my first time with the littler ones.
Which i thought it’d be fun to share with the y’all.

So 1-9, which box do I open first?

EDIT:
(It has been decided and I opened 9)
