#and healing because that shit ain't linear

[mercymaker]

feeling a bit emo about malstarion today because god they're both so messed up in so many places and are both capable of being absolutely awful and yet...

because of all their experiences throughout the game, the people they encounter and become close with, and because of each other, they find bits and pieces of kindness in them. especially when it comes to each other.

and sure, it's not some magical cure-all to make them into these heroic goodie two-shoes, but at least they're both a little less awful. sometimes. and some days that's enough.

🤖- What got you into TF?

TRANSFORMERS ASK GAME

//This might get long (and somewhat stupid), but it wasn't like, one big leap into the franchise, but rather a lot of small encounters that eventually led me to enjoy plenty of TF series!

I'm going to preface this by saying that for some obscure reason Optimus Prime has been one of my biggest fave characters even before I started really watching any TF series??? and kind of a father figure ok let's go

I saw a few episodes of TFA in Finnish (and let me tell you, the Finnish dub ain't anything special) but that was kinda it for a long time. I think Michael Bay's first movie was the thing that got me interested in checking out animated Transformers series, but I tried watching TFP and dropped it for some reason even though I enjoyed it? I was probably too busy to watch it, that's been a chronic problem of mine lol.

Following might be too much information but whatever let's continue (spoilers for TFP movie)

Those of you who have followed me for long may be aware that I created this blog shortly after my father passed away. The thing is, a while after my father died very suddenly and unexpectedly, I ended up watching TFP because ??? and I found comfort in Optimus Prime because you know I'd gotten father figure vibes from him before already. You can IMAGINE how HEARTBREAKING it was for me to WATCH HIM DIE IN THE MOVIE like TWO MONTHS after my father died like holy shit that was so uncalled for. I actually grieved for OP for a while hhhh this is STUPID I'm SORRY but you know how it is with grief, it's not a linear process. I actually googled how to get over the death of a fictional character and cried when the first results said you don't lol

ANYWAY after finishing TFP and dying inside I ended up discovering Rescue Bots and IT WAS LIKE THE HEALING SALVE TO MY LIL BROKEN HEART. You can IMAGINE this time how RELIEVED I was to see OP alive right in the beginning of the series oh my gosh. Anyway I started watching RB and I fell in love with the series!!! Eventually I ended up watching TFA and that's another brilliant show I love!

So uh yeah anyway that's how things rolled um ok bye//
