AN ARMCHAIR ACADEMIC

Not actually a professor. Or a chair.

It's been surprisingly fun for a dystopian dumpster fire of a hellsite, but it's come time to move on.

@circuslollipop Fonda Lee's Jade City is absolutely great. Magic-powered kung-fu gangsters battling for control of Not!Hong-Kong.

Alternately, Curtis Craddock's An Alchemy of Masques and Mirrors-- swashbuckling and airships and entertainingly weird magic.

Probably for the best that I don't collect Joes, as I'd have no place to put all this stuff.

If they'd brought home a box full of Transformers, on the other hand ...

[AN ARMCHAIR ACADEMIC @prof_armchair]

So my cousin's husband brought home a big box of his childhood GI Joes, at which point I got to help them sort 'em out. So that's fun. There were a bunch more vehicles in there, to boot, including some still-boxed stuff, as well as an APC in pretty good condition.

@TFanPage101 This is canon.

Wherein I read a fun book that could've benefitted from a little revision (and a cover with some spaceships on it).

In another timeline, amazon dot com would be a porn site featuring women who could bench press you.

@AustinGorton Sleepwalker! Written by Bob Budiansky, who also wrote literal hundreds of character profiles for the Transformers toyline, more or less creating a whole-ass canon from scratch.

@justenwrites Nextwave! It's even got its own theme song!

[AN ARMCHAIR ACADEMIC @prof_armchair]

@WiseWyzard @Partunia This is the correct answer.

And sometimes, you wind up reading a book that sucks.

@isaacsher @rickastley I remember watching this live and nearly dying from laughter, only to have to explain to my sister what RickRolling was.

And here's a classic from 1976.

@TFanPage101 It's right there in Smokescreen's name. -And- he's a compulsive gambler, to boot!
