What is the most offensive thing they ever said and how did they learn from it?

♔. }

    ❝ I personally would consider the most egregious of these instances to be an argument that occurred between Optimus and myself during the early stages of war... In essence, I had used Optimus as a proverbial whipping post for MILLENNIA worth of grief, rage, and sorrow... I took all of my personal grievances out on him personally and in an incredibly VOLATILE manner. To this day, I still regret each and every callous word I spewed at him. Beneath it all, even in the moment, I knew my words were being spoken out of JEALOUSY. I promised myself I would never allow myself to act in such a way ever again, and apologized to Optimus some time later. Thankfully, this also served as a turning point in our working relationship. From that point forward we were able to find common ground and clear the slate, so to speak. ❞

You can read the altercation HERE.

I’d honestly suggest reading the threads leading up to this point so you can get the FULL breadth of both Optimus & Elita’s emotions that built to the moment. It just... it hits so good that way y’all trust me.

As someone who writes Elita, you seem to be the one I should run my shrimp thoughts by about my potential Elita Who Becomes Airachnid RP Blog.

I mean it basically follows the TFA style Archa Seven thing Except! This version of Elita has already lost one set of children to a Decepticon assault but due to how her being mutated worked her memories of her past life are imperfect so she blamed the Autobots for their deaths and joined the Decepticons afterwards and uses her knowledge of the Individual Autobots to inflict as much damage as possible.

Also she’s been mutated into a triple changer. Again it’s bare bones shrimp thoughts but I thought I’d throw it there for an opinion.

「 OOC. 」

Ahhhhhhhhh !! I’m honoured that you think so highly of my opinion, you’re too kind, truly — thank you so much !!

First off, wanna start by saying I LOVE this idea for Elita !! Admittedly, I’m not as well versed in things that deal with TFA, I’ve never actually watched the show — I KNOW, I KNOW — but, I think this is a fresh take on her character. We love a good Airachnid / Elita transmutation moment. I like the introduction of losing children — it’s a good mix of tragedy and love-lost, two things I think are great building blocks for motivation and character development. I can see it being a strong sticking point for her in many interactions. What’s most important is to have a strong driving force behind her that acts as a guide so you can develop and explore it in multiple interactions / plot lines, and I think you’ve found it. Would be interested to see if, eventually, she has a come-to-Jesus-moment and learns the Cons were the actual ones behind the loss of her kids ( if they were ), and how that shapes / changes her psyche. Would she just become a rogue and abandon both sides of the war entirely? Would she stick around with this information kept secret and try to sabotage them? Would she join the Autobots? Lots of possibilities !!

I’m also a sucker for triple-changer Elita. It’s legit one of my favourite things haha.

Not shrimp-brain at all, btw. I really love this idea and am excited to see how you flesh it out !! Lawd, if y’all could see some of my early Elita ideas when I was first creating this blog and her backstory... cringe worthy content. It takes time and patience — writing is a journey, not a sprint. You’re set up for some great success here friendo, godspeed !!

Do you miss anyone, Elita?

♔. }

    ❝ I do, MANY mecha in fact... Their absences weigh heavily on my spark; all of them for different reasons. ❞

She misses Zeta, the members of her team ( and Autobot Command ) who passed away during the war, as well as her dear friend Oracle whom she knew when she was still Ariel. Saiph, however, remains the largest presence she misses and continues to grieve.

hi miss elita! do you have a favorite animal species on cybertron?

♔. }

    ❝ I do, several in fact. Of those, I would say that my favourite belongs to Cybertron’s native avian family. Different regions refer to this particular species by different names, however, I grew up knowing them as SHIMMER SWIFTS. Often they would accumulate in Crystal Garden sanctuaries where Energon and bio-organic minerals were plentiful. I consider them incredibly reminiscent of Earth’s hummingbird populous. ❞

Tragically, Shimmer Swifts were one of the first species to suffer rapid population decline during the war, threatened by total extinction of the species due to drastic Energon decline. Mid-way through the war Cybertronian Bio-Organic Preservationists collected the species and brought them off-world for long-term conservation — along with most every other native fauna and flora known to the planet.

Elita is happy to report that through continued conservation efforts ( off-world and on Cybertron ) Shimmer Swifts have been spared from extinction, and their numbers are steadily increasing around the planet. She’s yet to see them herself, however.

In fact, she was blacklisted by her team from EVER physically drawing battle plans early on in the group’s formation upon seeing for themselves how horrendous she was with a stylus. The relegation lasted the entirety of the war, especially after joining the Autobots.
