The craziest thing about this whole Santa Fe dance break thing is that if you like and appreciate dance as an art form, the Santa Fe dance break is good . It’s worth appreciating because it’s raw and artistic. No, it’s not clean or polished and Christian Bale isn’t hitting perfect positions, but it’s about feeling and conveying emotion and that’s what dance is about at the end of the day.
It’s not supposed to look polished. Kenny Ortega talks about how the dancing in Newsies IS NOT supposed to be polished because it being raw makes it look better. It makes it look like kids are dancing. It conveys the story better.
You can’t look at the Santa Fe dance break and tell me it conveys zero emotion, that it doesn’t do what it set out to.
Also…it’s fun. Who wouldn’t want to watch the funky little cowboy dance?

I got flash pjs the other day and one of my friends/roommates asked if I was “branching out” from the batfam. One of my cousins remarked “I thought Tim Drake was your favorite” when he saw my pj pants and new Batman AirPod covers (and then asked why I didn’t get Tim drake?? My guy how much Tim drake merch on Amazon do you think there is?) My guys…. T~T Flash is still DC… which I KNOW you know… Tim Drake is still my fav… I can like other heroes too… why are you so shocked that when I saw flash pj bottoms at a thrift store (ones that had never been worn??? Still had the og tags???) that I bought them???? I’m not— it’s not like I’m cheating on Tim just because I have another hero’s merch???
Anywho. The AirPod cover was a belated b-day gift. Well, technically, the $30 Amazon gift card was the b-day gift from my grandparents. I just chose to spend it on a new phone case and a Batman AirPod cover (they accidentally sent me 2 though— in separate packages and everything). The phone case hasn’t arrived yet, but I desperately need one. I keep destroying the one I currently have by picking at it.

Hey there......just wanted to ask...is snapdonnie dead? , are you goin to continue with this au?
SnapDonnie is not dead! none of my aus are!
It's just that i have a lot of aus, so it might take a while to update each one, depending on which im more interested in at the moment.
If i ever abandon one of them, or put one on hiatus, then i will tell people! you will know!

SG Starbee?
ok so im pretty sure ur referring to the ship starscream x bumblebee? if there's a character named starbee that idk about im gonna feel silly... but i'm just gonna assume u mean the ship.
as far as characterizations, i really leaned into the whole "child solider" age thing w bumblebee. (as i'm writing this, i am realizing i have basically NEVER TALKED ABOUT STARSCREAM??? so i need to do that immediately someone please remind me cause i will forget.) anyways, for that reason i don't know if i would place him into a ship with anyone.
plus, post war (which is where i think most starbee ships take place), bee is maybe... probably... in prison??? so not in any place where he would meet starscream.
ok so that's my offical statement on the lore. BUT i'm assuming you only sent this ask in because you like the ship and wanna hear about it!! so, hypothetically, if starbee WAS a part of this universe:
starscream is basically the complete opposite of bee.
bee is a manipulative, traumatized, slightly crazed people pleaser that's been exploited since birth for the sake of an apathetic overlord that only cares for him as a tool. he has no friends. he's never had friends- and really, he doesn't even understand why.
meanwhile, starscream is every bit as annoying as he is in canon. he is disobedient and loud and RUDE, and everything bee has ever been punished for. he is very clearly Doing It Wrong, and yet somehow...... he's happy? he's cared for!
it's not fair. it's just not fair.
(what bee doesn't see is this- starscream, despite his many eccentricities, is genuinely caring, and protective of the people around him. he's loyal, and determined, and idealistic to a fault. and those traits, after 4 million years of war, have endeared him to a truly staggering amount of people.)
(bee also doesn't see this: starscream is about to endear himself to one more.)
post war- bee has been allowed to rejoin society, on the condition that he makes as big of a show of it as possible. he is to serve as an example for the autobots on how to reintegrate. (relegated to poster boy once again.)
starscream is assigned to be his "diplomatic partner" in a "unity promotion campaign" between the remaining leaders of the deception and autobot armies. (starscream is assigned to be his babysitter, to make sure he doesn't fly off the rails, and to take care of him if he does.)
now, the expectation here is that hopefully, starscream and bumblebee will manage to put aside their animosity long enough that people settle and reconstruction can begin. eventually, society will become stable enough that "unity promotion" is no longer necessary, and they can go their separate ways.
that is not what happens. starscream, shepard of the lost he is, takes one look at this lonely, angry, hurting soul and goes oh! guess he's mine now :)
over the course of the next few years, starscream teaches bee how to advocate for himself. (how to be more than someone's puppet.)
starscream shows him how to really live. (how to be more than just a soldier.)
starscream helps him understand that there's more to life then fighting, that you can make a place for yourself in the world without clawing your way up and carving it out by force. (how to rest.)
and how can bee not love him after that? in some ways, he's still not... normal. in some ways, he is just as obsessed and devoted to starscream as he was the autobot cause. really, bee has just traded one idol of worship for another.
but for the first time in bee's life, that devotion isn't going to be abused. he's given his obedience to someone who will never, ever use it. and that's what love is, i think.
so, starscream gets a scary ass guard dog (that is really just a lap dog in disguise)
and bumblebee gets what he always, always wanted.
bumblebee gets to be loved.
