you already know im gonna be cringe and ask for hcs about Potential Interactions between ravage and riptide 🫡
Ravage and Riptide Headcanons (2005 IDW, He/She pronouns for Ravage!)
(🫡, I actually have a lot of thoughts about these two, considering Riptide is one of the most notable characters Ravage interacts with in MTMTE. These two talk three times in MTMTE, which considering most of the rest of Rav's interactions are with Megatron, is actually pretty notable!)
Tumblr media
The Lost Light was not the first place Ravage and Riptide met. Or rather, it was not the first time where Ravage saw Riptide personally. While the two have never properly fought each other, Ravage was present during the battle for which Riptide was made; the Simanzi Massacre. Ravage was on the field where Riptide made his first appearance and could tell Riptide was freshly made by his scent. Riptide was struggling against the overwhelming current of the Forced Flood when Ravage found him. While equipped with an aquatic alt-mode, his T-Cog was malfunctioning, leading to him not being able to transform. Hit with a rare twinge of sympathy (or perhaps pity, or something even crueler), Ravage leaves Riptide be. He could have killed Riptide there and rid the Autobots of one more soldier, but whatever his reasons, he chose not to.
Ravage does not see Riptide again until after the war ends and he is assigned to spy on Megatron by Soundwave. Before he is revealed to be a stowaway, Ravage does not spend much time watching or even considering Riptide. There were far bigger characters in play; such as Rodimus, Magnus, Ratchet, and Megatron himself. That does not mean he did not "check-in" on Riptide every once in a while, however. To sate his own curiosity and as a needed reprieve from the stuffy, tense atmosphere made by his assignment, Ravage occasionally sought Riptide out in secret. Watching him from the vents or in the shadows of other mechs, Riptide became Ravage's personal source of entertainment... not that Riptide knew about that. Riptide reminded him of Rumble and Frenzy in a way, and after spending so much time away from the twins, Riptide's similarities to them became a comfort.
Their "first" impressions of each other were not as pleasant, however. They do not meet properly until Ravage is revealed to be spying on the Lost Light crew and, once discovered, Ravage becomes aggressive out of self-defense. After he is shot and the crew board the split Lost Light, Riptide insults Ravage; criticizing his tracking skills when Ravage sniffed out Minimus Ambus after claiming to smell Ultra Magnus. When Ravage is proven to be correct in the end, as Minimus is Magnus, he does not let go of Riptide's quick dismissal of him easily. He insults Riptide later on ("I hate to spell out the obvious- though I am sure it happens to you a lot..."), and this bickering continues between them long after they have returned to their Lost Light.
Surprising them both, Ravage and Riptide's bickering turns into a tentative bond. Neither of them are entirely sure how or when it happens, but their bickering towards each other slowly morphs into a genuine bond. They start spending more time snarking at other people together, rather than at each other, and Ravage finds himself both confused and intrigued by Riptide's interest in him. Riptide is the only person onboard the Lost Light, save for perhaps Nautica, to show any interest in talking with him. Not only that, but Riptide is the only one who approaches him casually, without fear. He'd be insulted if he weren't starved of connection with other people. After four million years of being in constant close contact with other people, being removed from them has its consequences. With his dynamic with Megatron being strained and every other mech on the Lost Light regarding him with open distrust, Ravage finds connection where he can. Riptide becomes a source of comfort for Ravage, and he often seeks the mech out when the silence begins to sink in too deep and his ache for physical contact becomes too great. Riptide is genuine in the way he interacts with others, and Ravage, who has spent the last several months spinning his own cat's cradle of contingency plans, finds comfort in that genuineness. When life onboard the Lost Light becomes too much for either of them, Riptide sometimes takes Ravage to the oil reservoir and does laps in his alt-mode with Ravage on top. Both menaces at spark, they often end up pushing each other in on purpose.
Riptide values Ravage's patience in return. Despite Ravage's initial picking, she is patient with Riptide- more patient than a considerable portion of the Autobots, at the very least. She does not rush him to get out a thought or roll her optics when he does not catch onto something as fast as someone else. Ravage has spent her entire life being patient; waiting and observing for things to fall into place. She's not going to get huffy because she has to wait a few extra minutes for Riptide to get his thoughts together. As they get closer, Ravage begins to start snapping at others when they attempt to rush Riptide. She cites her own annoyance with the 'bots in question for it, but anyone paying attention can see she's got a soft spot.
When Riptide expresses his distrust of Megatron, Ravage is supportive. Not only is it good for her if the crew does not trust Megatron, as they are more likely to push against him and potentially tempt Megatron to leave, but she likes that Riptide has doubts. Ravage believes more 'bots should doubt their superiors. Doubt leads to knowledge-seeking, which is a quick slope into rebellion. When Riptide makes a throw-away comment about betting shanix against Megatron being truthful about being "reformed", Ravage praises him for being doubtful and being prepared for betrayal. She tells him that he should always question things around him, no matter how trusted or well-known they are. Ravage knew Megatron for over four million years, after all, and she never expected him to take up the red badge. Anything can happen, and Riptide needs to be ready for that.
Bitter irony. Ravage praises Riptide for being cautious, unknowing that Riptide himself was aligned with Getaway. Riptide wars between duty and guilt for a long time after, caught between telling Ravage of Getaway's plans and remaining silent. In the end, it is his own curiosity that makes the decision for him.
This friendship was not meant to last. Friendship is what Riptide believed it to be, though Ravage's feelings on the matter are much more complex. Eventually, Riptide breaks their fragile bond by asking if Ravage trusts him. The conversation did not start with that; he danced around it at first, asking about Megatron and Soundwave and the rest of the Lost Light. Riptide brings up a time when Ravage told him never to trust anyone fully, and that even those closest to you can turn. He asks if Ravage trusts anyone on the Lost Light, if she trusts Megatron, if she trusts Soundwave. Eventually, he asks if she trusts him. His being truthful about Getaway was dependent on her answer, but what he wasn't expecting was for Ravage to ask him if he trusted her. A moment of silence passes between them. Neither could bring themselves to answer, which was enough of an answer in itself. Ravage is the one who ultimately ends the conversation; turning her back to Riptide and walking away with little more than, "… It is best if we leave it at that, then." This is the last time Riptide and Ravage see each other, and the last time they speak before the DotL.

Don't get angry at Juliana for taking away your "pwecious Oguh 🥺"
It's not her fault you're nothing but an ant among giants...
Shut. Up.
I don’t care if she’s stronger than me. She won’t be for long.

Can't remember who the mangaka was but I remember watching his episode of Manben and growing strangely anxious and almost angry watching him draw cause he'd draw something and then immediately cover it with white out and draw its over again over and over and over and over like at least 20 times in the same TINY spot

I want to feed this thing slowly into a woodchipper. it wouldn’t actually hurt him but it would give me some catharsis and apparently that’s the best I could hope for. I only knew the vaguest possible spoilers going in but I still hated him on sight. this thing has the cold dead pink eyes of a shark with albinism and can’t breathe without gaslighting a vulnerable teenage girl and I wish to see it utterly obliterated. fuck altruism and fighting for what’s good in the world, if I was a magical girl candidate I would have wished for kyubey to gain the ability to feel pain and then be allowed to murder him for real and that would’ve been worth it all honestly. I wish to see the look in his eyes when I say ‘I wish for you to gain the capacity to experience eternal suffering’ because by god if I’m going down I’m taking this accursed fluffball with me into hell.
(yes I am as usual about ten years late to the media party looking around the kitchen to see if there’s any cake left haha. I do appreciate a show that really sits down with you and goes ‘wow. our society truly does treat teenage girls like absolute trash huh’.
also the sheer boring nitty gritty admin stuff that must be going on in the background for homura on every loop is making me laugh so hard, since none of her offensive abilities are innate, she’s just that ‘AND A GLOCK!’ meme. speedrunning strats to find the first and best bazooka engage. considering her last stand against walpurgisnacht it’s no wonder she never got around to explaining what was going on to the transdimensional love of her life until the very end, she was presumably busy hoarding every piece of military tech if not on the face of the earth then at least within japan’s borders)

Ooo...
#arueshalae's quest... Delicious#i love it when companion quests not only are amazing in their own right but also allow room for me to expand on the pc... good shit#context-> i been thinking#since elluin died and came back very very wrong via botched wild hunt hunt or something of the sort#(dont ask me details this is all vague hc i only have the wiki to go off of for lore )#just. where would his soul have landed if he had just died normally?#well. he's always been chaotic good. so#he should be at the club meme voice: he should be at elysium#something something the personification of the values Dimalchio abandoned staring him in the face#something about immortality granted through birth along with gifts unfathomable to mortals#versus immortality granted unwillingly. about the things one now considers trivial being what another was eternally barred from#something something envy something something rage#i cant wait to get here on azata path this is going to be JUICY to compare....#ellu and arue are such a good pair to think about friendship wise in general...#trust me im talking about him more but mostly because it's a first run and im still developing him in my mind#but like dude... guy whose morals are the only part of himself he even considers vaguely salvageable#(even though he actually doesnt consider himself good- fun fact)#paired with girl trying desperately to learn and understand morality and undo the damage she did#also the fact that a bunch of the things elluin says to her he mostly says with the intent of putting some responsibility on the corrupted#which she instead interprets as him trying to absolve her of responsibility ..#i juist love them!#love them so much. throwing them in the microwave#(then there's also the azata-blooded assimar-shaped elephant in the room but im going to refrain from talking about him#because we dont have time to unpack aaaall that)#riv finds the path that sure is wrathfully righteous#oc: elluin

I love the local radio. I'm going to start frothing at the mouth and clawing my way towards Hillside and 37th with malice aforethought.
"Massive shoutout to Koch industries-" I was in school when the news came out that one of em died. We didn't get anything done for nearly the entire day bc it was a celebratory event. I remember the classroom I was in and where I was sitting when I learned David Koch kicked the bucket. Massive shoutout to Koch Industries. You're 88 Charles, aren't you tired? Aren't you tired? Lay down. Go to sleep. Go swiftly into the dark beyond. Massive shoutout to Koch industries.

I can excuse some negligent homicide because I know how shit can be at work, but I draw the line at potentially wasting my groceries. Do you know how much milk costs?

Idk who out there needs to hear this but it’s actually never necessary to say “well I’m part of this marginalized group and I find this joke funny” to someone in that marginalized group pointing out bigoted ‘humor’. You can actually keep that to yourself, believe it or not. You’re perfectly entitled to think that being called slurs is the peak of comedy if you want to but please don’t subject the rest of us to your rabid pick me behavior
