[9]
Oops just realised the last page was part of this bigger picture, so here it is properly!
Yuuko promising that Watanuki will be loved, Watanuki opening his eyes for the very first time, and the first thing he ever sees is his twin desperately wanting him to keep existing.
Lava Lamp cares about him SO MUCH ALREADY. And how interesting that is from someone who tends to put so little stock in his own wellbeing compared to his goals, and yet cares so heavily about someone who basically is just him.
AND? How touching it is that Lava Lamp doesn’t care for him for a purpose? He doesn’t need Watanuki to exist for a plan or a goal. It would probably actually be better if he didn't according to what Evil Wolverine just said - if Watanuki vanished then his ability to clone people might also disappear. But Lava Lamp just wants Watanuki to exist out of genuine care and concern for him as a person.
And it's the first thing he ever sees anyone say to him!

rodimags/rodimims (specifically idw is what i'm talking abt here) is such a good pairing because one the dynamic they have but also two their narratives are like. the same. they’re foils both individually and character arc wise.
like, minimus living in his brother’s shadow and rodimus in optimus’s. mims getting a new body/identity and rodimus first putting on a facade and then later changing his paint job. minimus and rodimus having trouble forming meaningful relationships because they both have to be someone they aren’t (ultra magnus and optimus, respectively).
roddy saying he didn’t want to be a prime, he wanted to be optimus prime. mims always trying to live up to first his brother’s accomplishments and then ultra magnus’s.
they also have their differences (obviously), but like any good foil their differences are anti parallels.
mims needing orders and rules to ground himself. rodimus feeling restricted by them. mims going from a nobody to a legend because of the armor, and rodimus being ignored and judged after getting the matrix. mims (as magnus primarily, but also just in general) always being second but still respected, vs rodimus being first (primehood) but disgraced.
both of them leaving cybertron together for the same reason: they can’t handle the burden their predecessors have given them. ultra magnus and optimus prime being revered figures, but minimus ambus and rodimus (no longer a prime) being nobodies, if not worse.
the personality differences and their general dynamic are already great and made me ship them, but the foils and parallels are what make them a compelling duo in all senses.
(also this post is abt idw but they're really good in everything else imo. like g1 is a chiller show but they still have such a good relationship/dynamic and they still read like foils, it's just a little more surface level bc y'know kids cartoon. )
