#I am obssessed with Nightshade to no one's surprise

Thinking about how funny Missed Connections is from anyone’s perspective other than Nightshade’s

From Tarantulas’ perspective, this random excitable incredibly nerdy child wandered into his lab (which is in a graveyard), presumably either lost or trying to hide, and becomes his assistant out of sheer curiosity. When he asks them to run away with him in order to hide from the ambiguously evil agency trying to imprison and/or indenture bots (and put them in fighting rings but I’m presuming he doesn’t know about that) they respond by looking dramatically away and saying they have other ...obligations here. And then you go to their house and find out that they’re living with a full on GHOST agent, who’s saying inexplicably threatening things, and misunderstandings ensue.

From the rest of the sibling’s perspectives, it’s a no-school day, but their sibling Nightshade is building inventions instead of hanging out with them. Then they read Batman and tries to go visit the author in a graveyard, and whilst they’re gone, they try and fix their invention with duct tape and self-confidence to try and get Nightshade to hang out with them, and end up breaking it further. Nightshade, however, is not angry, because they met a scientist in the graveyard, and wants to take apart the murdersphere 5007 with the scientist. And then a giant spider kidnaps their parents. 

From Dot and Alex’s perspective, their child is struggling to connect with their siblings, asks about morality, might have met a decepticon, and then they get kidnapped by a giant fucking spider in the middle of the night.

Perfection.
