#OH NO I MADE MYSELF SAD

[hopecomesbacktolife]

pretty sure these gross trandoshans had a salt creature (a la the man trap) on their ship??

omg I just started a clone wars rewatch (have not seen most of these episodes since like. 5+ years ago) and literally episode 3 like HELLO DISTANT RELATIONS OF THE PURRGIL?!? :o :o

why are we fighting when we could be friending… I mean it makes the purrgil stuff in rebels very interesting bc. the empire still views them as menaces and it’s part of why everything with Ezra worked, and I know Anakin and even young!Ahsoka’s temperaments are different, but… part of me is just going

but what if friend! lol

If the next episode takes place during Halloween and Chris still isn't back in LA then that means he's attending school in El Paso. He's being taken to and from school by Helena and Ramon instead of by Eddie. He's probably telling his grandparents about his new friends at school but barely says anything to Eddie during their zoom calls. Chris isn't just in Texas for the summer he really is settling in and all Eddie can do (for now?) is watch

GUYS HOLY SHIT (TGAMM SPOILERS)

Alright I’m screaming a little inside right now stick with me here

okay in the foreground here you can see a white pillar/railing type deal, and the cracks in the driveway (sorry Snook the best shot I could get of this was from your video here)

and as they pull out of the driveway you can see a white picket fence and a house with two stone pillars next door

here’s a shot of the McGee house exterior:

White railing!!! White picket fence!!!!! House with two stone pillars next door!!!!!!

Adia and her dad pulled out of this driveway with the moving van

Guys what if at some point in TBB they meet Ahsoka and she sees how Omega is so young and living on the run and she has a conversation with Echo about her and says something like “no child should have to fight for their life at such a young age” with sadness in her voice because she knows what it’s like to be a kid in the midst of constant danger and war???

doug would play animal crossing

you cant change my mind

Oh my god I bet he'd love filling the museum!

You visit his island and he's got an actual little town set up with paths and signs, and his house is in the middle of the neighborhood with all the other houses nearby, he has a room in his house for the scientific furniture

He gets really happy when the villagers tell him they're happy to see him

Still obsessed with the way Eddie shakes his head after Christopher asks, “What are all these tubes?” It’s saying So Many Things and every one of them breaks my heart:

I didn’t want Chris to see Buck like this. I didn’t want him to understand how bad it is and be scared.

I was hoping I could be clinical about this with my EMT friend here, but you’re forcing me to feel my feelings, buddy.

I’m upset that you’re here, because I love you so much and I’m not sure I have what it takes to be a good dad right now.

What kind of dad am I that I’m not strong enough to answer my kid’s questions when he needs me most?

Nope Nope Nope NOPE NOPE I know what all those tubes are, but I can’t even entertain the concept because I’m all the way at my emotional limit and then some.

Why does Chris have to go through this? Why is there pain I can’t protect him from?

How do we keep going if... Nope.

And he’s behind Christopher, out of sight, doing his damnedest to hide the cracks from him. But Hen sees it. She looks over at him and she sees it, and she’s a mom, and a partner, and she knows.

yknow one thing that's never really talked about is thrust's whole reaction to megatron nomming sparks like at a buffet- he's probably horrified for 2 reasons, one is that at any given point, that could be his spark, and if we know from how tankor had rhinox's memories, he probably knows from waspy's memories that megatron didn't really gave a damn about his own predacon troops so,, he's just worried he (and by extension strika and obsidian) could be next at any moment

OH my god. Sparkwar Part 3: The Siege. Holy shit.

I have. So many feelings about this scene.

For starters, this is my favorite scene in the series. It's so so so poignant that Thrust is the one who walks in on and witnesses Megatron's spark cannibalism for a fistful of reasons. He's the last of the Vehicon generals without his "own" spark at this point in the series, right? Strika and Obsidian aren't shell programs like he, Tankor, and Jetstorm were. Thrust is an outlier in the Spark War late S2 in terms of his origins and his relationship with his own borrowed spark [see: Waspinator]. Thrust's experiences are explicitly unique. He's a Transformer "pretender" without the one element that would make him a true Cybertronian, his own spark, and is therefore an outsider on the fringes of a dead society he could never be truly accepted in.

Waspinator calls Thrust a brooding loner once, and he was right. Thrust is a loner. He is alone. He has no friends (anymore), no future, and is objectively a slave when you take full consideration into how he has literally nowhere else to go. To abandon Megatron is to bring death on you. Where dying is concerned, every alternative is preferable...

SO, this very horrifying scene has so much more weight when viewed by Thrust. He has had Waspinator forcibly removed from him before. He knows exactly what it's like to be helpless and at the mercy of Megatron's influence, both through his own experiences as Thrust the shell program and Waspinator's sparkbound memories. Thrust has experienced Death Lite (c) having his spark extracted, and Waspinator remembers being a disembodied spark twice before with all the terror that comes with it. Thrust understands what those sparks Megatron consumes are going through as a result... right up to the point where Megatron slurps them up like a damn slushie. If sparks are meant to go to the Allspark when their time is up, what happens when they're more than just extinguished? What happens when they're just completely and utterly snuffed being absorbed into this monster that you've been following this whole time? Was that what he had planned for all of them?

For Tankor, a co-worker he regrets never getting to know?

For Jetstorm, a friend he regrets not keeping closer?

For him?

Look:

It's all in the eyes.

Thrust just had a terabyte sized epiphany within the span of about three seconds.

The Maximals are animals, but Thrust has realized, full stop, that Megatron is a goddamn monster. He's a beast machine with delusions of godhood about to be realized... and this is the moment that Thrust has come to grips that he's been locked the cage with him this whole time. It's one of the best show-don't-tell moments in the whole show and you FEEL how mortified Thrust is just by seeing it in his face.

Guess what else?

I also happen to hate this scene.

I hate this scene so very very very much, because this would have been the absolute best moment for Thrust to have a heel–face turn and defect to the Maximals... which doesn't happen. The BM writers gave Thrust an anti-hero status the second they labelled him as potentially being Silverbolt, right? When that storyline dropped off in favor of the whole left-field Waspinator gag, they didn't resolve it further than that... so, the avenue to make it come full circle right there and then was wide open. Thrust was, for all intents and purposes, still designated an anti-hero character with no resolution. He and Blackarachnia (and Jetstorm + Silverbolt by extension) never had their own personal story interconnected with one another resolved, either.

Thrust could have seen this moment of Megatron's true nature as a monster and used it to finally stand up against him.

To show Megatron that he's not just some slave worthy of being not just a drone, not just mindless, worthy of his own free will given to him.

To show the Maximals that he's not just a slightly better version of Waspinator.

To show Blackarachnia he's more than just the spark he carries, and that his choices to save her were all his.

To show Silverbolt... something. Anything that might make the other mech give him a sign that Jetstorm really is gone, that he wasn't betrayed, so that he might be able to move on.

Megatron's moment of absolute disregard for life, snuffing out light, could have been Thrust's moment to shine and find his own.

And Thrust wasn't allowed to take it.

And I'm sad about that.

But it's comforting to know that Thrust did recognize what was happening. Maybe in another timeline he uses that knowledge to do the heel-face turn he deserved and be part of the solution that finally brought Megatron down. The irony in that would have been so beautiful.

Megatron being destroyed by Optimus was Megatron simply getting his just deserts, but Megatron being destroyed with the assistance of Thrust would have been part of a desperately needed justice.

(I know a big bit that the writers talked about was BM being purposely all planned out and having everyone's stories wrap up nicely, but Thrust was done damn dirty. Jetstorm too, by extension. I will fight everyone on this to the death.)

I need to end this on a funny note though so lemme just say it's good that Jetstorm was dead because he would have looked at Thrust and whispered "I don't kinkshame biker boy but for vore I'm making a strong exception" in a terrified little voice, and Thrust would have reflexively punched him in the face as a kneejerk horror response.

Like not to be like ohhh I’m oppressed for liking this character or whatever cuz like *gestures as my mutuals list* I’ve got my space, but it does make me sad to see how popular casual jokey samifer was compared to now. You can’t do that and get that reaction anymore

[real-afterglow]

Feeling this one, echoing through my bones

[chaoticdelinqueerwithglitter]

It’s funny how that one Best 3 and Worst 3 was mistranslated as most needy when dating when it actually says the most obsessive when dating. That’s why they showed Sanzu secretly taking pictures of Mikey.

Is that what it's supposed to be???? I've seen a few different translations of it all along on the same lines of being needy/ obsessive.
