#not because Im opposed to them getting canon designs its just so scary

[arolesbianism]

Every now and then I remember that oni in fact will eventually have more lore added and I get so excited and scared for a moment and then I remember that it could take months until we see any of that and I proceed to forget abt it again and the cycle repeats

#rat rambles #oni posting #now it does sadden me a smidge that itll probably be in paid dlc but thats a problem for future me #the bright side of new lore is new lore #the downside of new lore is the eternal fear of canon jackie and olivia designs #not because Im opposed to them getting canon designs its just so scary #like what if klei made them white how would I move forward from that #and its not even a situation where I can say with any level of confidence if they would or not because god if I fucking know #like they have until very recently seemingly deliberately avoided including anything Too lore relevant in any animated trailers #but that can kind of just be explained by well. the fact that most of those updates didn't include any lore. #and those that do involve it stay strictly in the dupes perspective #so I can't rly use that as any sign that theyre deliberately avoiding giving olivia and jackie canon designs #I would highly prefer they dont get designs even without fear of designs I dislike mostly because narratively it just works better that way #but hey its not up to me so whatever happens happens #I mostly assume future lore is going to mostly relate to the dupe donors we havent met yet and elaborating on some of the ones we have seen #but dont see a lot of if anything at all #I hope they dont mess with jackie and olivia too much but I do think itd be nice to give jackie just a smidge more like Ive talked abt #and other than that I could see them adding maybe new story traits and if they're feeling real generous more dupe lore #oh and if we're mega lucky we could get a dr.holland first name #honestly I hope that for dr.holland specifically they either just do a hard name drop and move on or just dont touch him #rly my main concern with any added oni lore is I Really dont want them to start telling us too much #I really really like all of our information being very fragmented and unclear as it adds to the post end of the world vibe rly well #and this is in fact a problem that they had in older versions of the story that they seemingly went out of their way to solve #so I rly want to have faith that they wont fuck it up but I have been burned before and oni has yet to have fully earn my trust #its not far off tho just the scrapped logs themselves give me faith that they are aware what story theyre writing and what needs done #again the scrapped logs are cool but would have dampened the narrative quite significantly from how straight forward they are #so them being full one scrapped early on makes me hopeful that they realized that too #rly I just dont want too much expansion on the stuff we already know #some names and work ids would be splendid and Im all for new fragments to try to place in the timeline #I just dont want a log where nikola stares at the camera and monologues abt the duplicant project or smth

Cbv soundwave?

First impression: NOT that much into the promo images of him not gonna lie, he looked... different. in a weird way. Obviously that changed when we actually saw him in the show. But still he was... different.

Impression now: KING KING KING 💙👑💙 legit my new favorite soundwave from all continuities, good design, good voice, sexy character AND sexy character development. He's a bitch, he's mean, he's a jock. He wasn't opposed to change. He's perfect. I have a new standard. I wanna see my man this instant.

Favorite moment: you see him there and there is s1 and then the show hit you with Soundwave Dance. I could legit cite most of his moments in s2. and s3. and s4 too goddamn. Remember when he took down a quintesson prosecutor with his bare hands and then played his own victory music? And when he said "feel the wave" during a literal beatboxing match? fuck it Im gonna mention everytime he did The Big Steppy. I love him so so so much💙 HIS FUCKING LAUGH WITH THE CLOWN MUSIC IN SECRET SCIENCE

Idea for a story: silly fix-it idea I had where after his final stunt he gets stuck, in true soundwave fashion, in another dimension and after a while when he gets enough strength back, he manages to send one (1) signal to someone on the other dimension, roddy and shadowstriker intercept it and after silly shenanigans, they and the entire population of cybertron bring him back. IMMEDIATELY after that, roddy and shadowstriker question him over WHO he send it to and you get the feeling its an argument theyve had all while looking for him. He reveals it was for laserbeak who has been with them at the time. And then he pass out while hearing his friends' laughter. Thats idea 1, idea 2 is a bit more canon-conforming (OR just ignores the final ep completely) and is all about Soundwave's Cyberverse Pining Adventures from the beginning of the wall-era all the way to after the new peace treaty. I affectionately call it "Go For It, Soundwave!!!"😊. Idea 3 is just... random "slow" moments if the quintesson arc had been slower paced. Like for some reason after learning about the scientist they cant go immediately looking for him and have to wait for a minute and its just the 6 + Mac having to hang out and theyre all together because since roddy beat him, clobber and dead end dont feel like they should stick to soundwave like in the beginning of the prisoner. And he stays away and its not getting to him to see them all together but also yeah it does. Because hes glitching and its scary and he hates that hes scared.

Unpopular opinion: said it before but I kinda like when he's just... a guy with a bird. I think the best part of cyb soundwave is the personality he has for once, and adding the cassettes wouldve taken away a bit from that I think. would not have been completely against cyb ravage tho.

Favorite relationship: AT NUMBER 4 WE HAVE: with laserbeak, a man and his bird can be so personal. AT NUMBER 3 WE HAVE: with shockwave, I love when characters hate each other equally and in such a petty way, especially when theyre both favs of mine. AT NUMBER 2: shadowstriker. listen, it's always a treat when decepticons gets along, and it's such a... natural relationship too. They dont really feel forced, they just spend a lot of time together and you can just feel the familiarity wittout them needing to "voice it out". And it's nice that it's with SOUNDWAVE of all cons because, just like the other big 4 decepticons of high command, he's usually a loner in previous continuities. AND AT NUMBER 1 WE HAVE: who else lol. Im a sucker for crossfaction pairing. Theyre both big favs of mine, they have almost 8 episodes worth of being glued together to the frame. Theres the climax and the final scene before the epilogue of the Finale. Theres parallels and callbacks. It's just aesthetically pleasing in general but its not like, out of nowhere. I wouldve KILLED for an interaction between the two in peacetime. Or just more time. congrats on Hot Rod for winning.

Favorite headcanon: never outgrew the dance fever, is just repressing REALLY hard in war time. was in charge of the official decepticon twitch channel, and human relationships in general on top of communication officer. Never was in a single cringe comp by virtue of dropping killer albums there and there. kiss exclusively by bonking foreheads. Can dish it but cant take it.
