Ohio RTC live-blogging

I watched the Saturday stream, and I documented my thoughts because hyperfixation goes brrrr

HEADS UP

there was a lot of ableism in the chat (I do discuss what it entails below so you’ve been warned) so I was distracted at the end of the stream

-Karnak’s frantic tone during the accident + freeze frame moment, very cool

-them holding up the prizes

-Constance’s mumbled “sorry”

-post-possession Noel and Mischa stuff is so good (the o.e face and shoulder shake)

-I don’t like Ricky’s disability being stolen again, but I do like the fact that they’re happy that he’s happy, seems to be “bro”ing it up with Mischa a bit, I do love that

-JANE! (OVERANALYZES LIKE CRAZY) The way she tips her head a lot like it doesn’t fit her body comfortably. She sounds so timid…awww, honey…she moves a bit like her body is off-balance from the new head, I love the details

-I see evidence of platonic (at least) spacedolls already. Ricky waved at Jane!!!

-BREASTMILK CHEESE SANDWICH EATING BLEGH

-even in the “ocean’s life” segment Jane’s movements are just a BIT off. I think it’s cool when the Jane is taller in the cast, makes me think of a Barbie/pos

Poor gal seems real uncomfy in those lenses tho, can’t blame her

-all of the cast looks like they’re having the time of their life

-Mischa’s mannerisms are already cracking me up

-I am appreciating Noel very much in this production tbh, very sharp-tongued and excellent emoting in the face

-Jane’s delivery of That One Line (I hear it gives you an—)

-despite the small theatre and tech limits because of that, they really do well getting the point across with the props

-gosh props to Noel that change takes too long even in the main show, but he works it

-RICKY’S LIL SHIMMY IN THE BEGINNING OF NOEL’S LAMENT AND HE SEEMS TO ACTUALLY BE PLAYING ACCORDION!!!

-CAN ALL MISCHAS EVERYWHERE STOP BEING SO PRETTY, RESPECTFULLY!!

-THAT NOIR FILM IN THE BACK, I LOVE!

-ngl I’m in love with this Ricky

-these dances are so fun!

-not a ton of Nischa in here with the end of the lament but—

-Constance’s “w h y” after the F word joke

-B O N S O I R

-them adding improv in ESGAL is a bit silly, but oh, RuPaul ref. That blindsided me lol

-RICKY AND JANE ARE GROOVING TO MISCHA’S INTRO TOGETHER AWWWW THEYRE HAVING SO MUCH FUN!!!

-they seem to be sort of un-possessed in TSIA, and Mischa seems a bit more friendly in this production so I think that fits decently

-RICKY HAS A LOW RANGE HEYYYY (Debby Ryans)

-I love how they try to make it like he can’t remember his rap—or can he actually not remember? Either way they played it off like it was on purpose and I appreciate that

-interesting how Jane’s a stand-in for Talia, cuz she could be anyone, she’s a blank body sorta

-I love the dances so so much, how they seem to be fencing Mischa in, and HE SINGS SO WELL, they did their best with the projector and got it across

-The way he just SITS DOWN AWWWW HON HE LOOKS SO SAD

-NOEL AND MISCHA HUG? NOEL AND MISCHA HUG!!!! AWWWWW IM CRYIN they seem so genuine about that whole part! person I’ve tagged said they noticed Mischa is audibly crying for quite a bit, poor dear

-again, Mischa encourages Ricky, I appreciate this! They see the Ricky and Mischa friendship supremacy!!!

-Mischa and Jane acting like generally strange parents and tHE FAKE ACTION SCENES which I genuinely think should have been in the original

-the implication that zolar daydreams came from food poisoning, this poor lad, I know it’s not exclusive to this version but dang

-this Ricky is just very captivating, I think this is a part that takes a lot of…uhhh, chutzpah, to play

-(sees Jane being a very passionate kitty) … (adds to spacedolls evidence folder)

-hehe I love that Mischa is Count Dogula

-also that black hole sound frequency reference made me so happy (“68 octaves below the middle C”)

-this Mischa has ADHD imo and I live for it

-AW JANE HAS SUCH A TINY MEMORY BOX. …big enough for a head. Cruel.

-they really worked with what they had for the background on Jane’s song. The way she blends into the scenery fits. That’s what she’s been doing this whole show. Also her trying so hard to grab her memory box and it’s always out of reach ;A;

-HER VOICE IS EXCELLENT this is impressing me in a bigger way than I thought it would

-the shadows moving!!! the way she can kind of recall knowing them, but not enough to know their faces or names

-the circling with the lights does make me think she’s falling, and the fact that she’s holding an umbrella…and sounds like she’s crying at the end…she’s so alone dude, I care her

-that last note was like a final scream

-Noel and Jane interaction!!! something I never see!!! I love it!

-Ricky is so gentle with Jane ;-;

-THEYRE HAVING FUN!!! SO CUTE!!!

-(chat is ableist about someone either ticcing, stimming, or having a meltdown in the audience and distracts me)

-Sugarcloud was excellent sorry I was too busy being full of rage

-Piano go breaking noises

-“you will soar to great heights” o u c h

-THE GROUP HUG AND THE BACKWARDS ROLLERCOASTER SOUNDS

-AW CONSTANCE AND OCEAN AND RICKY AND NOEL SPINNING EACH OTHER

-MISCHA AND NOEL DANCING!

-THEYRE SO HAPPY

-ACAPELLA DREAM OF LIFE WITH GROUP HUG HITS REALLY DIFFERENTLY

Do I have criticism? Uhhh well it wasn’t perfect but hey, from what I saw they didn’t have a ton to work with (nobody’s fault there) and they used their resources well.

I also constantly have to remind myself of the fact that this show has a cast of at most eight people acting, and it makes sense that it’s difficult to remember all of your lines, and the fact that everybody has a solo song!!!

I dream of some day playing an alto Jane, although I doubt it will ever happen, but I’m not sure I’m talented enough to do with this cast attempted

Also frick the people in chat who were being jerks about that audience member. git gud, Ricky would hate you you’re breaking the one rule

5. What is your favorite part of 6's personality?

PARK JINYOUNG MY BELOVEDDDDD 😭 he is so passionate about what he does - singing, dancing, acting, he is putting in the work and it shows!! didn't think i could love him more and then i watched he is psychometric DUDE 🥺🥺 that's not even the one he won an award for but like dang bro he was good !!!! also i feel like he has a good balance of being silly goofy and like . being serious/chill/more reserved??? idk he's a virgo so he def takes himself seriously but like , not too much u know ??

not to rant but i love how he loves his members too . he is so kind like he really loves them and cares for them and wants them all to succeed, regardless of how often he says they're annoying (yugbam the problem children fcdjhdvjk) he's rly just the mom (yugyeom's specifically) of the group and it's very sweet <3

6. If you were to tell 8 anything you wanted, what would you tell them?

soobin!!! i would tell him he's doing a great job being the leader to his hooligans and that i get "bye guys!! hi ladies!!! mwah!" stuck in my head at least once a week 🖤

7. Between 1 and 2, whose closet would you raid?

between lino and dk hm ... i think they're both pretty similar (casual, comfy, boyfriend-y) but if i had to choose i'd say dokyeom. he seems just a little bit more adventurous in his style i feel like he likes a good pattern

8. What is a style that you want to see 3 try?

hm for jae and also for the rest of the group i think something in the vein of seventeen's home;run era could be fun .. all the funky colors and retro-y fits ! 🤔🔮 i'm seeing jae with dark hair and a patterned collared sweater .. and pearls ofc 🔮

9. Between 5 and 4, who are you closer to in height?

i think mark and taehwan are the same height (5'9"/175cm) so neither ! hfdkvfjfd

10. Between 10 and 9, whose music do you like the best?

individually, i'm sorry gyu i'm gonna give it to donghyun i looove his vocals ! venus ??? so smooth so ethereal 🍯 in terms of their groups though, i love my yeppis but it's gotta be seventeen for me dawg they're like all time for me we're rly in this carat shit for life 💎 i can't find the words to explain how much i love them and their music literally the only thing coming to mind rn is when dk said "it's love, of course" and like !!!! yeah !!! ykwim !?!!

mtmte liveblog issue 22

oooh man, its time to feel some EMOTIONS!

I'm BACK after a hiatus, which was due in part to me getting my 1st dose of the covid vaccine! woohoo!

anyways, starting here w/issue 22....we have a great cover w/thunderclash, the legend himself

oof. the covers made me forget how much I don't like the art this issue...I hate to be mean to the artists but this art style just isn't doin it for me chief

god I love this issue though. the framing device of rewind’s movie is so so fantastic

tailgate listing off all his fake awards/accomplishments....ily 

rodimus my boy, you're a prime in my heart

the ‘not a decepticon’ label for cyclonus is so much hvbhkjfbskjf

I literally wanna comment on every single panel bc I love all the characters so much but then id be here forever...that being said whirl ily sm 

hvbjdfbhsfjhdfshja BRAINSTORM ‘according to perceptor - ships genius’ hvhdkjhbfhjs ily dumb gay idiot

and then the cut to perceptor after brainstorm like, blew up his lab vjbkdsfnbksjf dude

GODDDDDD drift ‘your name...defines you. it’s your soul expressed in syllables. hm? oh, yes, sorry. it’s drift.’ GOD he’s so fucking funny. I love early story hippy drift

god I cant stop thinking about how good this whole issue would be as an animated show...like, specifically rewinds film, it would be SO FUCKING GOOOOOOD mtmte show WHEN

rewiiiiind ;_; I fuckgin love rewind god. fellow video editing enthusiast....

ohhhh rodimus being embarrassed about his big speech at the beginning of mtmte....my boy I love u so much

gjhnbgehjsrkfbjksf magnus being suspicious of rewind oh my god. magnus ily but please, look at the lil guy, he’s a good boy, most of the time

the fuckgin footage that magnus removed hbvhakjbfhskf god. wasn't that intended to be footage of magnus dancing? I love him

minibot squad.....

and here it begins, the mystery stick rung question...

poor rung oh my god he’s just trying to polish his lil spaceship and people r throwing shit at him. taking Ls as per usual it seems

hand grenade tag hvbfjksdnfbkjdf love that callback

noooo rungs ship :( 

magnus’s censorship vhbhadkjfhdbhjsakjhfn

oh man I forgot about how they met that race of Transformers But More 

the one-upsmanship hbvkajsbehfjks

whirrrrrl lmao I love whirl sm

goddddd whirl just killing that other alien and ending the 16 million yr long civil war bvkjsdbfhjjkafs so fucking much

oh god oh god the ‘are you happy’ page, I'm not emotionally equipped to handle this like, ever

but I will say I feel like it would be EVEN MORE oof if it were milne or someone drawing it bc I feel like this art style takes away from some of the impact bc the expressions aren't really that...expressive? idk how to put it

anyways. every single answer destroys me!!! like even the happy ones, like chromedome and rewind and tailgate - well, in present time, none of those three are doing so hot, so that makes this just hurt 

and rung....that is so fucking depressing. jesus. this guy is so fuckng sad, somebody get him a friend stat

and swerve...ouch. this readthru I've really noticed how much early-mtmte swerve is not-so-subtly like, crying out for help bc he’s so alone and shit. jesus 

also brainstorms response is just plain ole sad w/context, but at this point in the story without context, it just seems very foreboding lmao. I'm realizing this readthru that brainstorm is very sketchy and ominous in a particular ‘is he evil?’ mad scientist sorta way in early mtmte

and then everyone else is also just so OOF in their own unique sad ways, but I think the worst out of everyone is drift....GODDDDDD. especially considering that at this point in the story, drift is this kinda goofy hippy guy, so seeing him just sit there with his face in his hand, not even answering the question...AND knowing that shortly after this he’ll end up banished...IT FUCKING HURTS M8!

meanwhile, the more upbeat ‘quest to see rungs alt mode’ continues...with an ‘alt mode party’ vhbadkjsdfnabskjf it looks so silly with a bunch of cars just sitting around a table lmao

I cant even tell who everyone is bc they so rarely turn into cars n shit lmaoooooo 

rodimus with the bucket on his head hbvhakjbfskjf I CANT

everyone’s reactions to thunderclash...i fucking love it

the fact that TAILGATE doesn't hate him, even though we’ve seen that tailgate tends to dislike people who are universally liked/who have achieved a lot of impressive things

rodimus you petty thot vbdkjbfdjhsakjdf ily

RODIMUS IS SO FUNNYYYYYY ‘I'm not making all these sacrifices and leading these guys into battle and being inspirational - I'm not doing that because it makes me look good’ RODIMUS VBHSKJDFNBKSJF

thunderclash talking about magnus’s article on typefaces....hdbksjfsdbkjgfb bro

AND THEN MAGNUS HUGS HIM....HGBSKJFDSHFKD I CANT

POOR DRIFT bvhajkdfbhjkjsfd rodimus saying he ‘rehabilitated him’ oh my god

the whole spectralism thing...im sorry I cant get over how funny all this is vbakdjfbksjf thunderclash rlly b out here charming rodimus’s entire crew

and then ratchet comes in, calling tc ‘thunders,’ and tc immediately notices ratchets new hands (somehow) hvbkjfhbskjf truly amazing

it cracks me up that rodimus is all 😒😒 at thunderclash, even though as we come to find out, tc really IS That Perfect, and him complimenting rodimus isn't sarcasm at all lmao

AND THEYRE LOOKING FOR THE KNIGHTS OF CYBERTRON TOO HVSDHFJBSHKHDFJS OF COURSE

the vis vitalis being a life support machine spaceship is a really cool concept tho

‘rescuing some orphans from an exploding sun’ I fucking cant

evil guy: [holds a gun to thunderclash’s head] 

rodimus: :D finally something doesn't go his way!

he’s so petty I’m..........dkdjhfdabhduifadijgl

and its the aliens from earlier! oooh

GODDD I forgot that swerve used rung in mystery stick mode to SCHWACK the guy

rung casually dropping the fact that the functionists like, experimented on him...there's a lot of implications there, and that'll certainly be explored more later...

the fact that his ID card says ‘rong’ hvbhjakhdsbfakhsjfn 

oughufadkfujbsfk the circle of light throwing wrenches n shit at skids...guys cmon vbhsdjkfnslfd

the circle of light is like ‘wtf you all have trauma and a bunch of weird unhealthy coping mechanisms this is wack byeeeee’ lmao

skids calling the lost light his home is rlly sweet tho

cant believe the religious space hippy cult is being so rude about a film made by a guy who died like a week ago. unreal 

cd finally figured out how to make the pffft sound, good for him

AUGHHHHH the fact that rewind used ‘little victories’ as the title of the film and that's something that chromedome said in the video ;_; I'm fucking inconsolable 

rodimus, despite his obvious posturing for the camera during the whole issue, comes off as surprisingly genuine when he says that he hasn't thought about his own future much, but wants the crew to have a happy ending....im gonna cry

‘who knows what's around the corner?’ tailgate, PLEASE don't say that, oh my god, 

OUGHHHH GROUP SHOT 

OHHH mannnnNNNNN i love this issue SO MUCH. what a good fun emotional rollercoaster wrap-up to mtmte s1. god. 

like, this issue has it all - humor, drama, crippling sadness, intrigue, worldbuilding...it’s so excellent 

and getting to see rewind again hurts so bad but also I love him

ok quick mtmte s1 retrospective...god s1 is so fucking good. I'm gonna have to read more to say which chunk of mtmte I liked best but s1 is so fucking excellent that it might be my favorite. though its hard to pick bc there's so much good stuff later on too...whatever, the point is s1 is so so good

the plotlines and characters are fucking stellar. like I cant even believe how well Everything works, its very impressive. I cant really think of anything major that made me go ‘yeah could've done without that plotline/character’

I love how dedicated jro is to connecting everything. I've mentioned it before but basically every single moment in the series has payoff - what you initially think is just a funny moment, or a fluffy character establishment bit, ends up ALSO being an important plot point later, in some way

an example would be here w/rung and his alt mode - it just seems like a fun little B-plot for this issue, and seems to pretty neatly conclude with the reveal that rung was eventually classified as an ‘ornament’ (lmao)...but we later on get to see a lot more about this, both here and in the functionist universe 

and like, stuff like tailgate’s autobot lessons w/magnus - at first that can be seen as purely character establishment stuff, showing that magnus is a strict rule-lover and tg is a loveable try-hard good boy - but that becomes plot relevant in remain in light, with tailgate saving the day due to his knowledge of the autobot code (and its also character relevant, with magnus’s arc in remain in light). 

and I know this is like. a normal regular thing in writing, but I'm just very impressed about how cleanly jro pulls it off, and how many things he’s juggling at once, especially in early mtmte - it’s very ambitious!

and we gotta remember, this is a comic book. I've read a lot of comic books, and the quality is all over the place. a lot of writers bite off more than they can chew, and the story ends up kinda scattered as a result. 

another thing I see a lot in franchise writing like this is a lack of strong early character establishing due to the author assuming the readers are at least somewhat familiar with the characters already - which can be totally fair depending on where it is in the continuity, but other times it can come off as lazy

in mtmte, the cast is extremely well fleshed out, and not only that, the cast itself is unique in that there are a lot of relative unknowns (franchise-wise) - which I think was an absolutely brilliant move, because then jro was able to essentially create The Definitive Version of these characters - characters like swerve, brainstorm, chromedome, rewind, tailgate...mtmte is their baseline characterization, because they haven't really appeared in much else

this also allows for deviation from the franchise norms - again, a comic book classic is good writing being stifled by a need to stick to a certain status quo regard the characters, the world, the powers, relationships, etc

(I've mostly read DC comics, and some marvel, so I'm thinking superheroes w/all these comic comparisons)

so mtmte had a good recipe for genuine creativity in that the characters were relative unknowns, the plot was basically ‘space road trip,’ the status quo of ‘autobot vs decepticon war’ had been demolished throughout the entire franchise...so jro was able to take all that and run, and it turned out so fantastic

and luckily it isn't over yet! so many comics suffer from premature cancellation...and sadly mtmte/ll isn't exempt from this, as we’ll see later, but I've seen some awful ones, where comics are forced to wrap up in like 2 issues while in the middle of an arc. yikes. 

but another comic staple...one of my least favorite things about comics books in general...something that was basically responsible for driving me away from comics after reading a bunch...the dreaded crossover event

yep, even mtmte isn't immune to this unfortunate plague on the comic industry. crossover events are the absolute worst, and I'm saying this as somebody who adores crossovers (in concept more than execution usually). they SHOULD be my favorite, but unfortunately they p much always completely suck

they're essentially a ploy to get you to read the other ongoing titles, but they usually only serve to bog down whatever story you're reading to the point where you don't even wanna read that one anymore, let alone read all the other ongoings. at least, that’s been my experience 

it doesn't help that reading orders tend to be hard to find/keep track of, and that you need to go read the other series to know what's going on. I just hate it, like, I came here to read THIS series, I don't want a bunch of other series showing up too - even if I was reading two series, I wouldn't want them crossed over, because they're separate stories! augh!

I'm totally losing my focus here but my point is...crossover events suck, and mtmte unfortunately is involved in one. I have not read dark cybertron, and I'm not about to. I've heard nothing but bad things so I have no desire to inflict that upon myself 

soooo ill be reading through the tfwiki articles for those issues to give myself a better understanding of what went on - which is more than I've ever done in the past - and maybe ill even make a single post summarizing my thoughts on what I read in the wiki, lmao

but yea ill be skipping to the mtmte s2 stuff next 

phew ok I'm super tired, my vision keeps blurring out and stuff lmao. its time for bed, I probably have more thoughts but ill save them for later. for now...peace out!

Notes and Audiobooks

A/N: Here I was, not totally sure if I was gonna be able to write more of this au... but now here we are! People really liked the first lil oneshot of this, so here’s another one!

Warnings: none I can think of, but if you guys want something to be tagged, let me know!

It had been a few days since the fusion incident. Logan sat in the living room, pouring over his notes on the subject. Even after trying to figure out exactly how Amor worked and came to be, Logan still knew relatively nothing. Most of his notes were on the fusion’s personality, and his hypotheses of how fusion worked. Each time that Roman and Patton fused, it was on accident. They couldn’t seem to form Amor when they actively tried to. All Logan could gather was that fusion seemed to be associated with a certain level of trust and physical contact.

Logan was snapped from his thoughts by someone flopping down onto the couch next to him. His notebook nearly flew from his grasp, and he turned to glare at the individual now leaning on his shoulder.

“Sup,” Virgil said, not even looking up at Logan as he scrolled through something on his phone. Logan relaxed slightly once he realized that it was only Virgil. Sure, he was still mildly annoyed by the fact that Virgil dropped in without warning, but his company was far less draining than Roman’s or Patton’s.

“Hello, Virgil. Was there something you needed?” Logan asked, closing his notebook.

“Nah. Just wanted to listen to my audiobook,” Virgil replied, pulling out his headphones. He made no movement to get off of Logan, causing the logical side to raise an eyebrow at his friend.

“You are aware that you are still leaning on me, correct?” he asked.

“Yup. That okay with you?” Virgil asked, attempting to sound nonchalant, but Logan could hear the nervousness creeping in his voice.

“Of course it is, Virgil. I was just confused,” Logan replied. Virgil gave a soft smile, leaning into Logan more.

“Don’t be. We’re just two bros, chilling on a couch, no feet apart cause we are gay,” Virgil said, a teasing lilt to his voice. Logan’s brow furrowed in confusion.

“I… what?” Logan puzzled. Virgil let out a defeated sigh.

“Dude. We have to work on your Vine references,” Virgil scoffed. With that, Virgil slipped on his headphones, and pressed play on his phone. He leaned his head further back, his hair tickling Logan’s neck slightly. Logan smiled and opened up his notebook, reading through his notes once more.

Time seemed to pass slowly. Or perhaps quickly. Logan wasn’t entirely sure, but not that it mattered. He quite enjoyed Virgil’s company, even if they weren’t engaging in a conversation. Simply being in one another’s presence was enough.

He looked down at Virgil, surprised to see that the anxious side was staring right up at him. A light flush overcame his cheeks, and let out a soft laugh. Virgil began to laugh too, his eyes squeezing shut as he turned to bury his nose in Logan’s neck.

Before either one of them had registered what was happening, a soft glow enveloped the pair. The sound of two laughing voices became one, and as soon as the glow appeared, it faded away.

One man sat on the couch, Virgil’s headphones over his ears, and Logan’s notebook in his hand. He wore a dark blue button up shirt, purple tie, black jeans, a black leather jacket, and what seemed to be black galaxy converse. A pair of glasses sat on his nose, and dark eyeshadow was meticulously placed beneath his eyes.

The man set Logan’s notebook down, and cautiously extended each hand out in front of him, taking a moment to examine them. He lifted them up to his head, and slowly removed Virgil’s headphones, letting them dangle around his neck. He stood up from the couch, looking down at himself with wonder.

“YOU GUYS FUSED?!” a voice squealed from the entryway, causing the fusion to jump. He looked up and saw Patton, practically glowing with excitement.

“I… uh-” he started, nervously adjusting his glasses.

“Roman!” Patton called. Seconds later, Roman bounded into the room, sword at the ready.

“Patton! What’s-” he stopped mid-sentence when he saw the fusion standing in their living room. Patton giggled, bouncing lightly on his toes.

“They fused,” Roman gasped, willing his sword away.

“I know!” Patton squealed.

“They fused!” Roman sang, taking Patton in his arms and dancing around the room with him. Patton squealed and giggled as Roman spun them around, while the fusion watched them with mild discomfort.

Roman lowered Patton into a dip, and at that moment, a bright glow overtook them both. The fusion shielded his eyes, his thoughts drifting to Logan’s and Virgil’s memories from a few days ago. The light soon faded, and in its place stood Amor, grinning widely.

“Oh, it’s so good to meet another fusion!” he squealed, running over to him and giving the fusion a big hug. He stiffened in Amor’s arms, unsure of how to respond.

“Ah… good to meet you too? Please let go of me,” he said, and immediately Amor let go, looking bashful.

“Sorry! I guess since Logan and Virgil aren’t entirely big on hugging, you wouldn’t be either. Say, you should write that down in your- uh… Logan’s notebook? Grammar and possession gets all weird with fusions,” Amor rambled.

“It’s cool. Also, did you fuse on purpose?” he asked.

“Yeah! And it worked!” Amor squealed, striking a dramatic pose. The fusion raised an eyebrow at him.

“But… how did you? Every other time we tried fusing, it didn’t work!” he protested. Amor gave him a soft smile, and placed a hand on his shoulder.

“We’ve been thinking about it too hard. You need to just be open, go with the flow, and feel the other person’s emotions as your own! After all, how did you come to be?” Amor asked, his voice passionate and filled with wonder. The fusion glanced over to the couch, lost in thought for a moment.

“We- Logan and Virgil- were just… coexisting. Not actively talking to each other, but simply enjoying each other’s presence. It felt… right,” he said softly. Amor gave his shoulder a comforting squeeze.

“Exactly. Now, what’s your name?” Amor asked. The fusion froze for a moment, before de-tensing. He hummed low in his throat, and closed his eyes.

“Mika,” he replied, after a moment of silence. Amor blinked in surprise, letting go of Mika’s shoulder.

“Huh. Wouldn’t have pegged you for a name like that,” Amor commented. Mika shrugged, smirking slightly.

“Well, it’s a pretty interesting name, I guess. It has several different meanings, with Finnish, Hebrew, Japanese, and Native American. However, the particular meaning that applies to me would be…” Mika trailed off, beginning to blush a bit.

“Yes?” Amor asked, beaming at Mika.

“Uh… ‘intelligent raccoon,’” he finished shyly, fidgeting with the sleeves of his leather jacket. Amor let out a dramatic gasp, cupping his own face with his hands.

“That’s so cute!” he squealed. Mika winced at Amor’s shrill tone.

“It’s more dorky and dumb… maybe I should change it,” Mika muttered. Amor’s expression fell, and he gently grabbed Mika by his shoulders.

“Hey, it’s not dumb! I think your name is wonderful, Mika. But if you wanna change it, then that’s fine too! I’ll always support you, either way!” Amor encouraged, his smile brilliant yet sweet. Mika found himself blushing slightly, unable to look Amor in the eyes.

“Um… thanks, Amor,” he mumbled.

“Of course,” Amor replied. He let go of Mika’s shoulders, taking a step back. Strangely enough, Mika found himself missing the contact from Amor. He hugged himself slightly, again fidgeting with his sleeves.

“Everything okay, Mika?” Amor asked. His head snapped up, and his arms fell to his sides.

“Yeah! I’m fine, just… what now?” Mika asked. Amor put a hand to his chin, humming in thought for a moment. Suddenly, his head shot up with a gasp, his grin as bright and boisterous as ever.

“Let’s go to my room!” he declared, taking Mika’s hand.

“Wait, you have a room?” Mika asked, more or less being dragged out of the living room by Amor.

“Course I do, silly! The others have rooms, don’t they?” Amor pointed out. Mika frowned, allowing himself to be tugged to a door far down the hallway.

“Well, I suppose that makes sense, but-” he was cut off by Amor putting a finger to his lips.

“As much as your voice is music to my ears, now is not the time, my friend. Adventure awaits!” Amor proclaimed, opening his door with a flourish. A golden light spilled into the hall, and Mika gasped at what he saw on the other side of the door.

It was a lush meadow, filled with flowers of every kind, their beautiful colors speckled all over the hills. The sun seemed to be setting, the skies various shades of pink, orange, and yellow. A few trees were dotted here and there, the most notable being a willow tree that sat on a hill some distance away from the door.

“Wow,” Mika gasped.

“Yeah, C’mon!” Amor exclaimed, pulling Miko into his room.

The two of them journeyed through Amor’s room, eventually stopping at the willow tree. Upon closer inspection, the flowers were actually homes for fairies. The little creatures were fascinated by Amor and Mika, some of them taking a particular interest in Mika’s galaxy shoes.

In all honesty, Amor’s room was very similar to Roman’s room. The only difference was that everything seemed… softer. Like everything had come from a children’s storybook. The clouds looked as if they could have been hand-painted, and the flowers seemed unrealistically vibrant.

Mika sat beneath the willow tree, his back resting against the tree trunk. Amor was sprawled on the ground next to him, his head practically in Mika’s lap. The sun had almost fully set by now, the first few stars peeking out.

“We should probably go,” Mika sighed. Amor sat bolt upright, pouting at Mika.

“Aw, but why?! We could have a sleepover here!” Amor exclaimed. A soft laugh escaped Mika’s lips at Amor’s childish enthusiasm.

“Yes, but it’s best we get back to the mindscape. And as fun as this has been… Logan and Virgil have to come back eventually,” Mika replied. Amor’s heartbroken expression caused Mika’s stomach to twist into knots.

“Hey, it’s not like I’d be gone forever!” he quickly soothed, placing his hand on Amor’s. Amor gave him a watery smile.

“I know, I just feel like you were barely here!” he sighed. Mika took one glance at Amor’s pouting face, and blurted out something he didn’t think he’d willingly say.

“Would a hug help?” Mika asked. Amor’s face lit up, and he practically tackled Mika to the ground. Mika found himself being hugged tightly by the cape-clad man, and he tentatively wrapped his arms around Amor. With a giggle, Amor pulled away slightly, his face inches from Mika’s. Their breaths were mingling together, and Mika felt his face heat slightly. His heart was beating out of his chest- and did Amor just look at his lips?!

There was a sudden burst of light, and Logan and Virgil appeared in place of Mika. Amor let out a yelp of surprise, and let go of them, scrambling off and away from them.

“Shit, I’m sorry… I panicked,” Virgil apologized, guilt twisting in his stomach. Logan blinked dazedly, and looked down at his hands.

“You’re fine! I just got a little overexcited. Shall we go back?” Amor asked, bouncing back to his feet and offering a hand to Virgil. He looked at his hand, but eventually decided to accept Amor’s help up.

“Yes, I believe we should be getting back to the mindscape. I have so much more information to record in my notebook,” Logan agreed, getting to his feet as well.

“Sounds like a plan! Now, let’s take one last stroll in the Land of Amor together!” Amor declared, offering each arm to Logan and Virgil. Logan smiled at the fusion, and took the offered arm. Virgil reluctantly accepted Amor’s free one, and together, the sides and fusion walked back to the mindscape’s door.

PERSONALITY- I have a fairly easy going personality, so I’m good if you just need a buddy to drag around- But that doesn’t mean I’ll do anything- I’m kind of a hermit too- I’m fairly shy when you first meet me so I have a hard time meeting people- But once you get to know me.....there’s no going back - I can be loud and out going when I’m comfortable around people - but for the most part I’m just easy-going

EXPERIENCES - College™ (that is an experience in and of itself, one I’m still experiencing), I’ve rescued a kitten, I’ve evacuated from where I live 3 times because of hurricanes, having roomates,

MY LIFE - I’m a literature major - I’m a lifeguard at an outdoor pool somewhere that is hot (and yet I still look like I never go outside) - I co-coached a swim team for 3 years - I have a younger bro and lots of little cousins - I write a silly lil webcomic with a very small following - I’ve been out of my country many times but lived in the same city for my entire life

28. What is their biggest fear? What in general scares them? How do they act when they’re scared?

1. big fear is probably getting hurt/attacked and being helpless (after the Great Stab), after that era he’s basically all up in self defense knowledge to prevent that turn out again. he’s scared of the ppl he deals to and eventually is scared of anyone he doesnt know well (in america, thats everyone outside of matty, joe, and austin) bc of the threat of getting caught by work peers who are looking 4 him.

Not Underage Ollie is a lil more fun, he went 2 sum clubs w austin only a few times  ;) ;), hungover he was a less whiny version of Underage Ollie. he’s less caring when others are drunk around him bc its austin and austin drinks irresponsibly and is also is ex so SHRUG
