What is contained in this journal is something of a social experiment- it serves as my fic journal, primarily for Transformers and the Tricolora series, and also as a blog of sorts, primarily focusing on fandom, robots and all other things that go back to this weird little franchise. Can fandom and the real world coexist, dare I say, even compliment each other? We shall see!
Tricolora deals largely with the American-ness of the franchise, as well as the conflicts of extraterrestrials living in America today with a species very alien to them. Also: the fact that robots are awesome. All fictive things posted here follow the first movie and happily disregard any sequels.
The three colors have become iconic for several powerful countries on this planet, including the United States of America. The colors have different meaning for each country, in America for example, the white signifies Purity and Innocence, Red, Hardiness and Valor, and Blue signifies Vigilance, Perseverance and Justice. For France, a country with sometimes tenuous relations with the Autobots' new "home" country, the three colors have more direct meanings:
White: Égalité, Paritas, Equality. Blue: Liberté, Libertas, Freedom. Red: Fraternité, Fraternitas, Brotherhood. Series is currently a WIP with three main parts:
Paritas: Naturalized (Complete)
Fraternitas: Revelation (Complete)
Libertas: Samsara (In-Progress)
Warning: contains bears.
