Bit of a relief to be honest. Someone needed to shut the universe down until we figure out what the hell is going on.

MODERATORS
HOLY JESUS, 50 000 ALIENS ARE BURSTING OUT OF MY ASSHOLE AS WE SPEAK
Someone get a bucket and a mop for this alien leaking ass asshole.
So what % of Americans actually believe stuff like this? 2-3%? 5%?
inb4 "most Americans are religious so about 80%"
At least 17% as of 2022 so it's probably more by now.

Chris Hedges talks a lot about this, how material conditions continue to degrade people turn to magical thinking.
Yeah but most Qanon people aren't fully into all this alien invasion crap, they just believe Hollywood is full of pedophiles (correct) and Trump is going to save the children from migrant hordes of satanic criminals (incorrect). I wanna know how many true freaks that believe in reptilian aliens there are.
Hm. I don't know. I just assumed they were into the outlandish shit too like alieums and time travel and stuff.
I think that given enough time, someone who gets into Qanon and stays in whatever community is beaming that garbage into their heads will slowly radicalize and start believing in that stuff. But there's kind of a balance to it, where some people who are fully into it stop believing as time goes on and nothing happens.
Finally
We should be grateful; in the alien presidency the other guy was going to send 70 billion ships!
Well, 50 billion alien shadow invaders are just 50 billion friends I haven't met yet as far as I'm concerned.
Sometimes I think about that one time I did a PCP analogue and went fully manic and started thinking this way, and then afterwards told myself "never again".
But hey, maybe again
i am willing to defect to the aliens, especially if they let me pilot an alien mecha against the imperialists
it's time to put on makeup
it's time to dress up right
it's time to meet the 60 billion aliens coming in through the shadows, the light, by shockwave tonight
There is a surprisingly alright Dr Who spinoff series called "Class" where the central big bad is a genocidal army of shadow people that just, like, step outta a person's shadow and shank 'em.
If Class is anything to go by, we simply need to find a teenage girl with sufficient anger issues to fight these aliens' leader in an arena kinda like a Dark Souls boss to fix this.
Hell yeah
wake me when it's skeletons or ghosts 
THE LIGHT, BY SHOCKWAVE
About time Shockwave gets his big break. He's been a guardian for millions of years, and is significantly understaffed.
Actually, he got eaten by Unicron in 2005.
https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Shockwave_(G1)
Appointed as Guardian of Cybertron by Megatron, the loyal Shockwave remained stationed on the planet for millions of years, even while his teammates slumbered on Earth. He was singlehandedly (ha) responsible for menacing the remaining Autobot resistance movements on Cybertron, and when Megatron was reactivated in 1984, assisted in the development of Space Bridge technology. In 2005, Shockwave may or may not have been killed during the Unicron War, though either way he was never seen again afterward.
In a splinter timeline, Shockwave was shown to have definitively survived Unicron's attack on Cybertron. Travelling to another dimension to aid Megatron, Shockwave formed a friendship with Cancer and the two resolved to conquer the world of business and entertainment via shadowy corporate dealings and pop music.

In my headcanon he was dead in the cartoon. His toy was one of the ones licensed from a non-Takara company, and licensing royalties are far more powerful than Unicron. His character was better in the comics, though.
"formed a friendship with Cancer" might seem like a weird sentence to some, but I just thought "oh yeah, the character from Super-God Masterforce".
He keeps showing up in later media because he just looks that cool. War/Fall of Cybertron were amazing games.
Probably the best Transformers games ever, although that PS2 Armada game is overlooked.
Then Activision did what they always do and shoved another company into the Cawadoody mines after Deadpool flopped.
There was that horrible attempt to fuse the War/Fall franchise with Michael Bay's utter fucking shit. 
I forgot about that one, but it was a different developer. High Moon made War and Fall, the developer for Rise of the Dark Spark didn't have the greatest resume.
My mistake.
That pile of steaming shit was the IP distributor's mistake, though.

Still better than the Democrats
God I wish
this is actually happening, but QTHESTORMM is just living in a much more interesting parallel universe, kinda jealous tbh
You could make a fun unfiction project from that. Post this kind of stuff and everyone thinks you're crank, but then it ends up being a story about an account from a parallel universe that somehow can post to here.
"The Man in the High Castle" but instead of finding a book, he finds a phone with access to alternate universe twitter where the US was defeated by the USSR in 1930 and he just malds for 500 pages about having to live in dog-water US-hegemony world 
'Invaded by over 60 billion aliens'. Someone has been reading my AO3 posts and taking them literally
Will mankind unite to fight the alien menace?
Most unrealistic part of Watchmen.
lol no
We're doomed.
the brandon regime is letting in SIXTY BILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS and they WILL SLURP YOUR CHILDREN'S BRAINS

That's just Tuesday on my earth. Only thing you worry about is cleanup is a mf 
if true
Is this a bit account? Q used to be ridiculous but at least sort of plausible.
