*doing amazing parkour toward your inbox* TYLERRRR
In Chapter 7 (I believe it is Chapter 7), where Bee and Arcee are beaten up by Optimus, Arcee ends up being more severely injured than the two. Is there any reason why Optimus was more cruel to her?
Tumblr media
why YES! this IS a reason!
*flutters eyes* i'm so happy you asked...
Arcee is supposed to know better. Even though she is the youngest, she's supposed to be the most mature. Because she is the only female out of the main seven, she's stressed the most that she can not fall out of line in any way, shape, or form.
There will be a lot of lore about it sometime soon?? Maybe?? I plan on having Arcee, reader, and... someone you will meet in chapter 21 go on a "girl's night" where they maybe go to a restaurant or bar and just talk. But in that chapter, however many forward it is, I'll get into a lot about the treatment Arcee goes through with her time as an Autobot.
I believe I've talked about it before in some comments on AO3, but never on my Tumblr...
(spoilers ahead, big big boy spoilers)
Female Autobots aren't allowed to be pures. They aren't allowed to go into heat. They aren't allowed to be sexually active. The whole Autobot group can be a bit sexist towards women in general, from what I'm sure you've noticed... Females who determine themself within the organization have to be held to a specific standard. They can't mess up, otherwise they'll be seen as, "too weak" and need to be... Disposed of.
The newest character in chapter 21, she'll be pretty important to Arcee's story line and early development lore. I don't talk a whole lot about her in the first introduction, but just from the different types of outfits she wears compared to Arcee, you'll see just how differently they are, along with how differently they're treated within Optimus and their relationship, just based off of the new character and his response to her.
