#But she wouldnt die for him like he did

[musubiki]

I like the idea that Oscar is just really light on his feet so they just assign the role of stealth on him. Lime has been jumpscared too many times when being in the middle of a conversation with Mochi and all of the sudden Oscar is just there and makes a quick joke off of what someone just says spooking them. “Dude I’ve been here for like 8 minutes.” He’s just suddenly there, running gag sort of deal.

Doesn’t Oscar also accidentally find out Mochi is a witch? She’s talking witch things with Lime in the greenhouse witch hut and they hear a sneeze and both say bless you and he’s just there taking notes.

THIS IS A COOL IDEA BUT I THINK POST-TIMESKIP OSCAR WOULD BE TOO OP WITH THIS TRAIT!!!!! since he eventually gets the ty-lee type of abilities where he can fuck you up with the right jab, sneaky oscar would be too powerful...90% of fights would be over before they even begin, all you need to do is distract the villian for 2 seconds for oscar to get behind him

#also! worth noting that oscar doesnt ACCIDENTALLY find out mochi is a witch like lime did. he actually deduced it on his own #after months of observations #and forced her hand in a sense to admit it #(by getting himself in trouble) #(oh no! if only there were something super powerful and amazing that could save me!) #worth noting it was actual real danger but he had enough confidence in his conclusions and assesment of mochis character #that she wouldnt let him die #she definately gave him a fucking scolding afterward though #and when she tries to erase his memory he lowkey blackmails her with his own life #(ah! but if you erase my memory ill just get into trouble again! im just too curious of a soul! and you wont be there to save me next time! #mochi stressed out #he would #and THEN hes like (cmon please ill be good. i want in on the cool magic stuff)

sometimes i think abt that youtuber that said diane nguyen was a dull character in seasons 1-4 of bojack because “shes the character that is the hardest to relate to in the cast because she’s married to a sitcom actor and is a popular ghostwriter, which isnt something many people can say, so to fix her, they needed to let her get divorced and get into a worse financial situation ”

as opposed to the actual sitcom star she married who got the job by wandering into a studio, apparently,

#i agree that shes kinda on the wayside in those seasons but i wouldnt say shes bland or nothing at all #i honestly found her to be pretty relatable and some of her more toxic traits helped me realize aspects of myself i need to work on #even before season 6 where her arc hits me like a freight train i still really empathized with her #especially in that episode where mr pb throws her a giant surprise party despite her telling him several times she hates that stuff #and he just snaps at her for being ungrateful. ik shes not faultless but tbh i was totally on her side lmao bc i would die if someone did th #that to me #echoed voice #also ik this show gets praised for its realistic portrayals and whatnot and im in that boat too but this makes me go ????? #bc theyre all high level managers or actors besides todd. who also isnt relatable bc he just does insane shit all the time #relatable by the metric the reviewer put up i mean. he can still be relatable otherwise i mean djfjf

ive been trying for 30 mins to write a post about why the Web's plan is still confusing, but I think I should face the truth and admit to myself that it's not that it makes no sense, it's just... so convoluted

#they needed jon to kill jonah cause it seems like only he could call him down #and they couldnt go through with the original plan because.... tbh still not sure on that one. at least not with the reasoning annabelle #gives. assuming that how everything works out now is how they intended it to #which it must be because if jon was ever ever going to consider 'letting anyone else feel that guilt' he sure as hell wasn't now that he #got introduced to the plan while a giant spider dangled his boyfriend above a pit. not conducive to jon cooperation #so originally spidermartin would have driven him to burn the archives and kill jonah. but theyre bond is too strong now so even if martin #would be spiders Jon wouldnt do the plan. .... huh #i just dont get that leap #why does their bond being stronger make jon less willing to burn it all down. so to say #would he want to keep his promise to martin and not become the pupil? but he did! he does! he does even when martin ISNT spiders! aaah #one thing that could make everything more elegant is if Annabelle wasnt telling the whole truth. she says they need to kill 'the pupil' #jon has been described as 'the pupil' as early as s2. and why would the Fears follow his voice on the tapes #and not just stick with his voice in jon the person? #solution; not only does the pupil have to die and the archives burn down at the same time #but jon has to be the pupil when it happens #... except that ALSO doesnt work because according to Jon Annabelle wasnt lying when she said that this would allow them both to 'survive'! #so unless we read the transcript in very bad faith and assume that she was talking about the hypothetical scenario of íf the fears leave; #then youll live; (but for them to leave youll have to die) this solution is out as well #but it would mean theyd need martin unspidered because hed be the only person able to kill jon when hes the pupil because 'it feels right' #(throwback to 178) #tma #tma meta #joos yaps #delete later #a mag a day #tma s5 #one nearly incoherent ramble later..... #if anyone has a good Watsonian solution to tie everything up neatly plz link me to a post

The tragic sibs tournament is like. So funny at this point

Like what's worse 2 twins who were inseparable and got separated because of a white boy with religious issues or a 15yo seeing his sister get shot

im unfamiliar with a lot of the characters that got in so im not gonna make big judgements on All of them (i dont even know which ones youre talking about) but i feel like one sibling dying to protect the other is inherently more tragic than siblings who are both still alive and were like. mad at eachother for a while or were separated for a while but everythings fine now. which is the case with a lot of the siblings that were put on there. stories like that can be sad yes and im not saying those characters never had any problems at all, but thats not comparable to one of them dying?? do the people who are voting against shadow and maria just not know anything about sonic?

#maria was shadows first and probably only friend while he was living on the ark #shadow was created to save maria's life and not only did maria end up dying for him instead #but shadow was there and saw the whole thing and was left traumatized #and before shadow really had time to process what had happened he was captured and put to sleep for 50 years #and when he was released he sacrificed his life to carry out marias wish. to be fair he came back but he didnt seem to know he would #and maria is still dead #maria was an innocent child who had her whole life ahead of her. she didnt do anything to deserve that. neither did shadow #ALSO shadow said once that if he could change anything about his past he would go back and switch places with maria #shadow would let himself die if it meant maria could have survived that day #like sorry i dont think a pair of siblings who fought a few times are comparable to that at all #asks #anyway wouldnt it be funny if shadow and maria beat azula and zuko in the tragic siblings poll #right after sonic and tails beat sokka and katara in the regular siblings poll. #idk anything about avatar i dont have anything against it i just think it would be funny

i finally understand what got fans went hrough when i watched fiona and cake (spoilers in tags)

#.......... “maybe if we went with bettys idea i wouldnt have found the crown” and youd die in explosion. like #events of star would happen. like did we forget that #painting simon as evil and uncaring for not noticing a social cue and betty not communicating her wants................ like.......ok <3333 #she literally had to fucking kick him out of golb to make the wish too like what was he supposed to fucking do #as autistic person who doesnt catch exactly what person i know and even people i love want to do seeing simon be seen as selfish for that i #it was meant to follow from temple of mars but did it in shittiest way possible jnewjnjnejn #and its not even that tbh its the whole. ending. its so unsatisfying. #cake not wanting to stay a cat? unfulfilled #just magically solved #some guys showed up in the new world but most did nothing in fight like what #but cake will not be satisfied shes magic but she wont ever go ona dventures and do stuff. #SIMON DIDNT EVEN FUCKING TALK TO MARCY IN EPILOGUE)7 #the way it flipped from simons god i was soooo selfish to btw i dont want to kill myself anymore was so unnatural #i was so into 1-8 and then they just. forgot to write it. efjmj #the complete pivot from simon being like wow i need to destroy myself to save other people!!!!!! to btw you were selfish <3 #people will say i dont read if they see this i dont care <3 i can actually but to me this was so stupid and forced #happy for gumlee. i was so mad abt lack of mlm stuff recently so they were nice but like

lol hospital did nothing. dunno what else I was expecting

#keep going to physio for the next year and a half and it might start to feel better is what i was told #:^) #i just. yeah. i really dont know what i was expecting #bf and dad insisted i go but i knew damn well they wouldnt do anything. this is the ER that has let my bf almost die twice now 🥲 #like im not exaggerating when he did finally get treated both times they told him if he had waited another day or another week #that he would have died. TWICE !!!!! #same hosptial that told a friend of a friend to drive herself to the nearest better hospital instead of offering an ambulance ride #while she was actively bleeding out from surgery complications #like godddddd. i wanna move away from this shithole town before they literally kill me

st needs to stop trying to make me feel sorry for b*lly it’s literally never gonna happen. give it up

#like yeah it sucks that his dad was abusive and i wouldnt wish that on anyone #but dude oh my god that still does not make me feel sorry for him or make any of the shit he did okay #and he was racist?????? like he tried to kill lucas and also threatened to run down the kids ep1 and prob wouldve if max didnt stop him #add that to all the other violently abusive shit he did and how he treated max #and i get max and i get her grief and why shes upset and i think shes valid for that but that doesnt mean im ever gonna feel sorry for him #i hate him and nothing they do will ever ever make me like him or feel sorry for him #also steve hates his guts too so if u ship h*rringrove kindly die and unfollow me #robin liveblogs: stranger things #r.txt

i find it so funny that whenever vader has any interaction with luke it’s always met with joy, affection, and love. but whenever vader interacts with leia it is always kill kill bite bite dont feed after midnight.

Vader used the force to telepathically call out to his son from the executor, 
“Luke” Father, Luke called back. “Son” Vader and felt a thrill as he realized Luke had accepted the truth.

...

For a moment, Vader allowed himself to imagine a future with his son. He imagined Luke as his apprentice - I would teach him everything - and as his partner - he would keep me strong! There would be no rivalry or secrets between them. With their bond of blood and shared power, they would be the greatest of Sith Lords.

...

Soon, Vader was breathing hard through his respirator. I can't let Luke defeat me, Vader thought. I won't let the Emperor have him!

...

Vader had no doubt that Luke was about to die. His son screamed. Not just my son . . . The Emperor unleashed another round of lightning. . . . or Padme's son . . . Luke screamed louder. . . . but my son . . . who loves me.

vs.

there was an electric hum from behind Vader, then a spherical black interrogator droid hovered slowly into the cell...Leia's eyes went wide at the sight of the droid. Vader could practically taste her terror. She said, "Keep it away from me!”

...

Growing impatient, Vader used his own psychic powers to make Leia believe she was in excruciating pain, but after several minutes, he ended the interrogation. He sensed that her inborn willpower was not only formidable but must have been augmented with certain physical and mental disciplines. She would not be broken easily.

...

Tarkin scowled at Vader. "Terminate her ... immediately!" Vader moved across the conference room to a communications console. With his helmet facing the comlink, he said, "Detention Area Security. Schedule the prisoner in cell 3187 for execution in one standard hour.“

...

Turning his attention to the Princess, Vader said, "I expect no such difficulty in restraining myself (in killing her) where you are concerned, Leia Organa. In several ways, you are responsible for my setbacks much more than this simple boy."

#「 REFLECT. 」 i have felt it. #「 LUKE. 」 the sun. #「 LEIA. 」 the moon. #he would die 4 luke and die b4 breathing in leia's direction #shame we never got a chance to see vader develop a relationship with leia outside anakin saying 'my b' in legends #luke was so important in his return to anakin (i have that written already on carrd but ill say it 500 more times bc its about FAMILY) #i find it odd vader never had any connection to leia despite her force powered super will and stubbornness #which he attributed to augmentation and training lmao like what senator would undergo torture training #and go so far as to alter their mental and physical state in such an unlikely event #especially when they were never even a high level target? #vader really thought leia (knowing next to nothing about her except that she came from aristocracy of all origins) #would be that hardcore at 19 years of age like she was training with the space see ai ay #though i will say his relationship with her wouldve been really important to see #bloodline did a good job in comparing them in their anger and drive for justice #anyway i dont think anakin expected forgiveness nor would he believe it would come or even come easy #but it mattered that he'd offer his regret and apology he had to put it out there and try #its not like he could say 'hey dont hold on to ur anger for me bc im sorry :( suffering leads to hate leads to fart w/e #he had no business telling her she should forgive or understand him but he did need to ask for it knowing it wouldnt come #he better than anyone would understand her feeling towards him 100% #its a guilt that couldnt let go bc he did all that to his daughter #anakin is at peace in and with the force but certainly not with all his actions as vader #his fulfilling the prophecy was what saved him bc thats why he was born lol #so the 'not being able to let go doesnt preserve your spirit in the force' does not apply #going off legends if just for this: when anakin came to leia it was out of making amends but motivated by guilt #guilt for what he did and guilt that if he didnt he wouldnt do right by his children

ok so it's not a comic hope thats ok with you but instead it's karkat n nepeta but designed by someone whos madly in love with them both

some more au explanations + transcript beneath the cut

they're maybe around 30-40 yo? This was mostly just an exercise to give both of them adult designs. uh. i'm only calling it an au because I made bs some explanations behind their designs while i was drawing them. so uh, in this universe, sburb never happens + things that happened because of sburb don't happen either, but the alternian society is relatively unchanged. i dont actually know.. what.. karkat does.. like i cant figure out why he wouldnt be culled but it doesnt really matter i just wanted to draw him looking cool! (i am. open to hear about speculation if you have any). also i figured that Kanaya would go to the brooding caverns after her lusus dies, bc the wiki said her lusus would die regardless of the game taking place n whatever, and probaly do something with the matriorb there idk. thats all tho! ill prolly draw them more and maybe develop more lore as i do ^^;

--

Transcript!

i don’t know what their dynamic is in the canon of this au… but that won’t stop me from making them kiss :]

The Vigilant adult karkat on alternia

new highly developed shoosing skill

honestly has a calmer demeanor because he’s learned what’s worth exploding about… though he probably developped a crazy resting bitch face

pleased (arrow to karkat with a neutral face)

The sash doubles as a sling for when he visits Kanaya in the brooding caverns. He’s also very tranquil around grubs because they don’t cause unmanageable problems. He’ll get mad if someone else bothers one

(yes i’m obsessed with dilfkat that’s why i drew this)

The Predator adult nepeta on alternia

Taller than karkat <3

still a silly goober, but better at getting what she wants

she probably got her title from a history of single-handedly slaying fearsome lusii. she likely takes assassination type of jobs because of her stealth. one of the more easy-going trolls from the group

--

also! fun fact. i was having trouble designing kk's outfit so i looked in an old antiques catalog book from the internet archive to get inspiration from objects that had the same colors as those that i wanted to use in his design? not sure why i did that. just had a hunch that it would be fun. so this is the object i found that strangely enough inspired kk's fit

haha.. and i also found one for nepeta, though it was easier to design her fit and i didnt actually need a reference object

the book was "Antique Trader antiques & collectibles 2009 price guide"

wait. kinda deep. He came back and she DIED.

#THATS HOW FUCKING SICK U R BRO #Damn #Hmm #Well they did foreshadow this death and she did say it would be worth it to die doing what she loves #but like Bro #u killed her. #I think if he hadnt visited the island this never wouldve happened and she wouldve lived on #I think he shouldve stayed away #But while im very not happy a woman had to die to prove this point. i like that the movie doesnt end w him and her happily together #bc that wouldnt be right honestly #hmhi 1986 #ok its still not officially officially finished yet so let me just wrap up

[homely-lunatic]

one of the things I think is rly interesting about the usher kids' deaths is that there's a clear linear pattern in how much influence verna has on the way they die, starting with virtually no influence and ending in a death 100% orchestrated by her.

like okay. perry's death? completely his fault. the only influence we see verna have on him is in her attempts at convincing him to call off the party and not blackmail people. the acid was already in the tanks, he made the negligent decision to hook up the tanks to the water system without testing them. if he'd never met verna, the party would have gone on exactly as planned and he would have died via acid rain anyways.

then there's camille. her death is similar to perry's in that there's a clear cause -> effect of her breaking into a lab full of chimps hyped up on adrenaline -> being mauled by a chimp, but there's also little hints at verna's interference. camille talks to verna right before she dies, its implied via the photo she takes that the chimp that killed her appeared to her as verna for a moment, and there's also the question of how the chimp got out in the first place. yes she probably would have died in this manner anyways based on her own decisions, but there's slightly more of a direct influence from verna than perry got.

with leo, we know that him initially killing pluto was a hallucination thanks to his drug use, but I get the impression that everything that follows is a blend of verna messing with him and further drug-induced hallucinations. the pet store he visits is actually an abandoned building full of rats that verna alters his perception of, and his visions of her in his apartment definitely feel more verna-induced than drug-induced, yet there's also kind of the implication that all the stuff with the hammer leading up to leo's death is drug hallucination-related. we also see verna appear to him multiple times; she's not just a single mysterious figure at a party or a lone security guard, she's now running a store and coming to his house and talking to him on multiple occasions.

vic is similar to leo in that her death is caused by a slow descent into madness, but the way in which this plays out is directly caused by verna. yes vic was planning on going forward with human trials, but verna is the one who shows up and poses as a test subject. there's still ambiguity when it fully comes to the question of supernatural influence, and verna's insertion into vic's life was more specific than leo's but also broad enough that its reasonable to argue that things might have played out the same had she not been there. would everything with ally dying and vic spiraling have played out the exact same way if the human trial had happened later, or if another test subject had showed up? maybe, but the actual course of events that transpired only happened because of verna's direct influence on them.

but tammy was terrorized for weeks by verna before she died. verna shows up as a replacement escort, then continues to show up in the background of tammy's life. she shows up in her apartment, appears to her in a supernatural-ish way at the goldbug launch, and when it comes to tammy's actual death she's in there fucking with her through the mirrors. I guess you could argue that she still wouldve gotten super paranoid over the launch and maybe started to hallucinate the original escort following her? but unlike the rest of them (except vic, who I feel also falls into this category), her death doesn't feel like it would have necessarily played out the exact same way it did had verna not been there. she only dies because she smashes a mirror that verna is taunting her from.

and then finally frederick, who didnt get a choice (not that he deserved one), verna steps in and 100% causes his death in a very specific way that wouldnt have happened had she not directly interfered with his life.

and then you look at the fact that the siblings died in reverse order of age, which is also in the order of shortest amount of time spent as a member of the usher family to longest, and the fact that the two who objectively had the most interference from verna in their respective deaths were the only two who were actually alive when roderick made the deal..... idk I feel like there's something there.

BECAUSE I LIKED A BOY

summary: you used to date quinn, the relationship starting not long after him and his other ex broke up. she got mad, made drama about you, and in the end, it flared up by the time your relationship was long gone.

pairings: quinn hughes x fem!reader

warnings: death threats

thin mints. god you loved thin mints, and currently you craved them. actually, you craved the nice memories they brought. the memories where your ex told you he would have some guy get some for you. he ended up being that guy.

quinn hughes. your favorite past lover who will continue to outshine the rest. he treated you well, made you happy. he was perfect.

bonding over the black eyed peas and the smiths was something you found to be hard when it came to other people. but with quinn, it was easy. he made love seem easy and effortless.

but the downside, was his ex. she was pretty, but they had broken up about three months prior to you and him hooking up and then ultimately getting together. no one necessarily knew of their breakup. they didn’t post pictures often of each other due to quinn living in vancouver and his ex living in michigan.

so everyone assumed they were fine, until quinn decided to hard launch your relationship. you were fine with it at first. it was innocent, like the cuddling on trampolines you guys loved to do.

but now you were being called a slut. at this very moment, you were being called a slut and getting death threats. at the time, you were getting the same treatment.

it seemed his ex put the idea that he cheated on her with you, into everyones head. and they believed it. they believed it because of the stereotype against hockey players. the stereotype against girl best friends.

but that didn’t stop your relationship. you were so into it. you were there for everything, even his brothers… until you weren’t. it wasn’t like you both ended on bad terms. in fact, you both ended things, stating it was better to stay friends.

then she released a song. a song where she practically tore you apart, tore you down. you were the hot topic on her tongue.

she painted you out to be the bad guy. the manipulator. the one who made him take you to bed. you were just trying to hold him close and love him.

the only win from the whole situation was the fact he called you his favorite love. that you would always be the favorite.

but to everyone, you were the slut. you didn’t have a choice in that matter. you were the homewrecker. all because you liked a boy.

I want the human/cybertronian life difference to be talked about more in canon

Cuz I mean. it’s RIGHT THERE.

Just a smidgen of true acknowledgment I BEG YOU HASBRO‼️

i mean come on all it takes is someone mentioning how long the wars been going for one of the humans to go “4 MILLION YEARS???? WHAT THE FUCK HOW OLD ARE YOU???”

And optimus or ratchet to be like “…5/7 million?” And all of the humans to have a break down CUZ WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUVE BEEN ALIVE SINCE BEFORE THE HUMAN SPECIES EXISTED??? WE WERE MONKEYS WHEN YOU WERE BORN???

And the (woefully uniformed) cybertronians to be like “??? What do YOU mean your species was still evolving when I onlined, how long do you guys live?? A thousand?? A few hundred??”

And the gobsmacked humans to be like “??? NO WE HARDLY LIVE OVER A HUNDRED ITS CONSIDERED AN ACCOMPLISHMENT?? AVERAGE OLD AGE DEATH IS LIKE MID 80s!! TECHNICALLY THE AVERAGE LIFE SPAN IS 72 OR SOMETHING???”

Cue the autobots being like “😨 72??? THATS A CHILD WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT⁉️”

the more attached/emotional bots looking at their charges and realizing that not only are they sparklings compared to them but they’ll die as sparklings too in just a few decades, causing them to straight up have a mini meltdown.

Yeah they’re in a war and they’ve lost plenty of friends, but never to anything as predictable and inescapable as old age.

It’s the seeing-it-coming part that gets to them, the slow dread of knowing that even if they do everything right and keep them out of danger and they stay healthy there’s nothing they can do to stop them from withering away in a couple of decades.

Most versions of bumblebee looking at their charge/friend and realizing his assumptions about the fact that since they’re both still young that they’ll have plenty of time to just. Live together and have fun- are wrong?? Immediately tears. Even if cybertronians can’t cry tears he’s doing whatever the equivalent is and running away to cry in his room. And then running back to snatch them and take them with him cuz HE CANT WASTE A SECOND IF THEIR LIFESPANS ARE REALLY THAT SHORT HES GONNA JUST HAVE TO SPEND 24/7 WITH THEM

This whole concept ESPECIALLY applies to TFP since all of them got their own little human buddy and there’s only like 5 autobots to begin with (of the main season 1 crew) they’ve lost so many of their own so recently, their numbers are already dwindling down to nothing, they’re losing the war and the kids are what’s given them a major morale boost. To continue fighting they need hope, and the kids have kind of become their hope for the future- to know they’ll die off in under a century despite how young they still are is a shot to the spark.

Look me in the eye and tell me bee wouldnt panic hearing that Raf only has 70-80 years to live. LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME HE WOULDNT HAVE SOME KIND OF FIT OVER BEING TOLD THAT HIS LITTLE BUDDY (from a cybertronian perspective) HAS A LIFESPAN EQUIVALENT TO A LATE STAGE TERMINAL ILLNESS DIAGNOSIS. Bee would start treating Raf like a kid with stage 4 cancer 😭

I just KNOW bulkhead would have the worst reaction other than bee, maybe even worse cuz he looks at miko and realizes she’s used up basically a fifth of her entire lifespan already and she’s Still So Little and straight up starts weeping. That’s his DAUGHTER you can’t take her from him so soon it’s not FAIR! He might have to go destroy a canyon wall or something to let some of the anger and grief out

Arcee is Not taking it well either.

She JUST got attached to this one, just got used to a new partner and your telling her that no matter what she does he’s never going to last as long as tailgate of cliff jumper did?? Even if both he and she do everything they’re supposed to do to protect him and extended his life?? Depression time baby

Optimus and ratchet don’t react as much outwardly to the news as the others but inside they’re both 💔💥

These kids have brought optimus a level of contentment he hasn’t felt in vorns, and he sees how bright their spirits shine- Only to now know those precious spirits will burn out in less than a century- it gnaws at him inside, yet another strike from the cruelty of fate

Ratchet is devastated but refuses to acknowledge it, these kids- yes even miko- have become his pseudo grandkids and he’s not ready, nor will he ever be ready, to outlive them. Jacks reminds him too much of a younger optimus, still learning and still hopeful. Miko is… well she has a fire to her that ratchet can appreciate (when she’s not actively annoying him) she’s determined enough to make anything happen which he does begrudgingly respect even if he wishes she wouldn’t just throw herself into any and every situation just for fun.

And Raf…

Raf is his apprentice, the only one of the kids to understand him and listen intently to his stories of cybertron. To show appreciation for his work and his ideas, to Listen and Learn and Improve his inventions. He harbors the most fondness for Raf since he sees so much potential in him, and has taken him under his wing in teaching him cybertronian language and biology.

He feels almost like he’s training a student to take his place- only for the ground to be ripped out from under him to know that Raf will never have the chance to succeed him, will never even outlive him.

A parent should never have to bury their child, and ratchet already feels that he has.

TLDR the autobots find out humans have fruit fly lifespans next to them and become one big soggy mess of tears, optimus and ratchet included although they try to have a stiff upper lip about it (and fail to varying extents)

I swear this was supposed to be about any and all continuities but TFP took over completely😭 idk it just fits the best since they focus so much on how attached the bots get to the kids

Edit: btw this was inspired from the fact I found out that the cybertronian equivalent to a year (yes I know technically they have solar cycles which are roughly a human year but what they consider a year vs their lifespan/time perception is different) is a vorn. A vorn is 80 HUMAN YEARS. I saw that and went “oh wow a vorn is like a whole human lifespan!😃” and then I went “OH A VORN IS A WHOLE HUMAN LIFESPAN 😀“

#transformers #tfp #transformers prime #Fr tho i feel like ratchet would have an initial outward reaction of shock and mild horror #perhaps some anger(already going through the stages of grief💀) #and then he shuts them out cuz he can’t handle it 💔 #tries to pretend it doesn’t bother him #OH MY GOD HES IN SO MUCH PAIN #optimus doesn’t shut them out but he is a lot more quiet #always has his version of sad puppy eyes when he watches them #like this 🥺 but way way toned down #basically just the eyebrows and small frown #considering he only does micro expressions that’s the best ur gonna get from him #optimus #ratchet #arcee #bumblebee #bulkhead #optimus prime #maccadam

Where did we all get the idea that Pixal isnt just as self-destructive and sacrificial as Zane??? Like, shes been just as bad as him since day one, the only difference is that shes better at actually surviving all of her big heroic sacrifices.

Like that time Lloyd was all "no wait dont go into the Oni death cloud, we dont know if youll survive" but she was just like "bet" and came out unscathed like the total badass she is.

Or in s11 when she was fighting the Preeminent, Wu went "Pixal please for the love of the fsm dont overload your systems with a ton of electricity directly from the city power grid, that could kill you" and she did it anyway. And again, she survived because Pixal is just like that.

And before you say, "oh haha she learned it from Zane", uh no she didnt. She was being self-sacrificial as early as season 3 when she refrained from telling Zane that the city-wide EMP would cut her power too so he wouldnt be distracted, and didnt want him to see her shut down. Or in season 4 when Zane found her in pieces and she tried to convince him to go on without her.

Like, if i wanna get deep about it, i could say that both Zane and Pix exhibit self-sacrificial tendencies as an extention of their devotion to their established purpose - Zane was built to protect, and Pixal was built to assist. In her own words as she lay dying in Zane's arms: "I am to assist, I assisted." And sure, i could also get really emotional about how they both seem to be incapable of recognizing their individual self-worth outside of what they believe to be their PurposeTM. And how the beauty of their relationship is that while they fail to see their own worth they are able to see the worth in each other. Zane and Pixal see each other not as protectors or assistants, but rather as intimate companions (whether you interpret that romantically, or if youre like me and hc them as a qpr).

Of course, for once im not in the mood to be angsty about Pixane (shocker, i know) and i actually wanna talk about how theres a lot of untapped comedic potential in this idea.

Like. One day the whole team rallies around Zane to lecture him about his abysmal self-preservation instincts, but the moment Zane complains that they should be lecturing Pixal too bc shes just as bad as he is, Lloyd goes "yeah no shes exempt from criticism bc death respects her too much to actually let her die for real." And then he and Pix do a little fist-bump while Zane slowly dies inside.

The FSM absolutely has favorites, and the fact Pixal has survived this long is proof of that.
