I love that TF1 megop are starting off as awkward cute teenagers. They're each other's first love, first kiss, first intimacy, an ocean of firsts that can never be replaced or replicated. We know where their story leads and of course they're doomed, but... they probably never forgot any of their blissful firsts with each other 💔 neither of them was ever able to truly move on from the other, and deep down a traitorous part of their sparks will always hold a very tender love for their first
everything here is so classically g1. jokes that arent sure if theyre jokes. starscream declaring himself leader because megatron mispronounced a word. [takes off and immediately crashes]. the awful lip sync. optimus putting ravage in the trash. megatron and starscream bitching match. "i never miss at this range" [misses]. megatrons dance and flail. im so serious g1 is awful and one of the funniest shows ive ever seen
I dunno if anyone ever noticed this or commented on it but
The way Optimus' eyes are rendered and textured in TFP, always reminded me of tear tracks? The etchings underneath.
Like this gentle man, who so badly wanted peace above all else, had cried so many tears till he had none, that they were now marked forever on his face.
I had the wonderful experience of being part of the Peace Through Tyranny & To Be Gentle Zines put together by @allsparkzines! Here's my Piece for To Be Gentle!
