There are only two of these Trans dragons left in the sh0p. So if you want one, you have to be fast. But in case they are all gone, just send me a message and I make some new ones. In the tray you can see some fitting “Trans Galaxy” dice.
I think that our civilization doesn’t give enough credit to things that are stackable. If you’re anything like me, and the court has taken specific aims to ensure that my particular contagion cannot spread, then you currently possess stuff thrown all over hither and yon. That’s French for “on the fucking floor.”
Most of this is simply because things like to be on the floor. Gravity pulls them there. Who am I to fight the whims of the universe, right? Another reason this happens is that many desirable things in life are not easy to stack.
If you look at your shelves right now, you will notice that there is tons of unused vertical space above many of your favourite objects. You could fit more stuff in those shelves, easy, if only you could pile them safely on top of each other. Sure, we’ve all done a precarious wedge-and-hope from time to time, but it always results in something expensive or irreplaceable taking a penguin slide to the floor anyway.
Society has designed a lot of little moulded-plastic “organizers” which are meant to help with this. The idea is that you will buy into their system, which is meant to all interoperate with each other, and then all of your things will go neatly into the boxes that you have purchased, which themselves are stacked neatly on the shelves. Your parole officer will be impressed. Don’t be fooled by this fool’s gold of a dream. None of your shit fits in those bins, and even if it did, you won’t be able to agree on an organizational scheme.
So, is there a solution to this problem? Yes: it’s called velcro. All you need to do is glue a bunch of velcro strips to the top and bottom of your favourite things, and then you can just stick them together. Nothing will fall out, because it’s all held in place by the space-age miracle of the hook-and-loop fastener.
Sure, it makes an ungodly noise when you remove them from the stack, and the 3M Corporation will soon be trying to put poison into my morning coffee over having misused their trademark, but it’s the only way to go. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go figure out why all my computers keep dying from static electricity.

mechtober day 22: the second day of tfcon! during the idw artists panel, alex milne was asked how ultra magnus and prowl look down and he jokingly answered “well maybe he has cameras installed on his lower body and display the captured video on a screen on his chest”. and yeah, i’ll incorporate that into my worldview LMAO
