He's watching with amusement wearing his cloak and hood with a poncho keeping to the shadows

@exiled-megs

He went about his business around the base, not noticing the hooded figure in the shadows. His audial fins twitched at a sound but chalked it up to nothing.

He walked over to Ratchet’s station and examined the work the medic had recently.

"i do not wish to fight I am simply traveling"

@exiled-megs

He raises an eyebrow and replies. "I'm too tired to fight and you're not the Megatron I know. So it's all fine." He's only just come out of stasis. Fighting now would be like trying to dance ballet while drunk. Or something like that.

"It has been quite a while since you referred to me as such."

"greetings shockwave I've come across something in the sea of rust "

[He tilts his head, antennae flicking up.] What is it, Megatron?

[tf-titania]

Titania’s voice goes firm and moves a servo to hold the left side of Optimus’ face plate.

Optimus, look at me.

Her voice becomes gentler.

You did everything you could, that’s all you can do. And I am grateful for it.

@exiled-megs

"greetings I brought fuel for you boi-"

Megatron saw Optimus crying softly.

[money-and-dandellions]

Characters pulling their dear ones out of danger but, instead, taking the damage themselves

and smiling because their dear ones are fine and safe and—

why are they crying?

[ohblushblushblush]

Currently obsessed with the fact, that in “Exodus” it is confirmed that minicons can feel when Soundwave is thinking and they are really annoyed about it each time it happens

BONUS:

So basically here Megs is pressing Sounds about the data on the energon transportation. And while it is all seems scary to any other mech, Soundwave is not intimidated by Megatron. Instead, he gets exited (???)

Eheh

Hello, megatron

What is your business here?

[wifeguycyclonus]

with regards to Pharma and the Delphi situation and what he could have done to prevent… everything, it makes me wonder which came first: establishing the Delphi outpost or the DJD naming the planet home. And like, regardless of which came first, shouldn’t high command have known about the DJD being there? Did they assume the DJD would focus on Decepticon deserters instead of the local Autobots? Or did they not know and/or didn’t care?

Pharma says the DJD ignore them because of his agreement with them so it’s probably safe to assume the DJD indeed intended to wipe Delphi out. And then somehow Pharma got in contact with them, without First Aid and Ambulon knowing, and made his deal. Why didn’t he run first? Did he try to make a call to Autobot high command? Did they ignore him or did he get lost under the rest of everything else?

actually, how long was Delphi even around cuz the war is over at this point. Mtmte #4 establishes that the weird death toll started six months ago from the present of that issue. The war was over for like two or three years before that. I suppose if Autobot high command is busy with the D-Void stuff or whatever then they might miss out on a concerned message or two from a distant out post…

idk. I dont know what the fuck im talking about and im not sure what the timeline is and this is a decade old comic, who cares. Also i suppose the war officially being over doesn’t translate to everyone putting down arms, especially fellas like the DJD.

[tf-sweetlight]

I believe the message that annoyed Tarn enough to threaten a new born sparkling was meant for Nickel. A bit of silly annoying fun between friends… (๑ŏ _ ŏ๑)

Lord @ask-tfone-megatron I found some intel that might be useful for the current Tarn vs. Starscream feud… (✿˵•́ ‸ •̀˵)

What is Megs reaction to op being exiled ?

[cerebralisis]

I decided to make my analysis of So High School into a separate post, because I can’t help but think of this song every time I see photos of Taylor at the games. And sure, it sounds like a love song on the surface until you remember that Taylor was bullied in high school and start to dig a little deeper. Feeling "so high school" is not something a 34 year old woman wants to feel.

Let’s look at the lyrics.

"I'm sinking, our fingers entwined, cheeks pink in the twinkling lights" = To me this sounds like drowning, embarrassment, and diving in with the sharks

"Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me" = You mean her first Chiefs appearance when they 'slid off in the getaway car' at the end? Nothing good starts in a getaway car, babes.

"I'll drink what you think and I'm high from smoking your jokes all damn night" = I mean...

“I'm watching American Pie with you on a Saturday night" = What do we know about this movie? We know that it is renowned for its high school immaturity and misogyny. It’s about a bunch of horny boneheaded men who treat women like sex objects instead of people. Sounds a lot like football culture to me.

"Your friends are around so be quiet. I'm trying to stifle my sighs." = I'm in the box with your friends and family. I need to hold it together so I don't offend them, but I legit hate this.

"Cause I feel so high school" = SHE HATES THIS.

"Bittersweet 16 suddenly" = I don't think she was a fan of high school, you guys.

"Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me? It's just a game but really, I'm betting on all 3." = A clear reference to that kiss/marry/kill interview with Travis, while also saying "we're gonna get together, put on a show for everyone, and I'm going to slowly die inside until we're done."

"Get my car door, isn't that sweet. Now pull me to the backseat" = All I hear with this is Movie Director Taylor giving instructions to her leading man so they can get a good reaction from the audience.

"You know how to ball, I know Aristotle." = You're a jock. I'm a nerd. We are not compatible.

"Touch me while your bros play grand theft auto." = The official song lyrics on Spotify put grand theft auto in lowercase the first time and capitalized the second time. The capitalized GTA could refer to Travis's friends playing the video game, sure. But also - you know who was arrested in August 2023 for grand theft auto? Bashaud Breeland, a cornerback for the Kansas City Chiefs who played with Travis in the 2020 Super Bowl.

"It's true, swear, Scout's Honor" = Look it up, I dare you.

And my absolute favorite:

"On the brink of a wrinkle in time" = This is TTPD, folks. Of course there's going to be a literary reference. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. The main character is a girl named Meg who is incredibly bright but struggles in school because she doesn't fit in with the other kids. After meeting a trio of badass witchy women, Meg travels to far-off worlds (a sort of deep portal time travel, you might say) where she joins the battle of light vs. darkness. What do we know about Taylor’s usage of light and darkness throughout her discography? It's giving… Reputation vs. Daylight? Shrouded in secrecy vs. out in the open? Based on everything else that Taylor has been hinting at through TTPD (not to mention Evermore and Midnights), it sounds like she is on the verge of diving into a much larger battle. And if I had to guess, I would bet that this battle will start during the Reputation re-release. Around Halloween. 🎃 When exile ends. Almost exactly 2 years after the Bejeweled music video was released. Maybe the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now cause she's dead?

I'm just speculating, but I will add that the 3rd book in the Time series is called A Swiftly Tilting Planet. There is a poem referenced through the book that goes like this:

With Ananda in this fateful hour, I place all Heaven with its power, And the sun with its brightness, And the snow with its whiteness, And the fire with all the strength it hath, And the lightning with its rapid wrath, And the winds with their swiftness along its path, And the sea with its deepness, And the rocks with their steepness, And the Earth with its starkness, All these I place with God's almighty help and grace between myself and the powers of darkness.

The word ‘Ananda’ mentioned above is the name of a character in the book, which is significant to the story because it’s a Sanskrit word that describes the eternal bliss that accompanies the ending of the rebirth cycle. If this series is what Taylor is referencing then it’s sounding more and more like she’s going to kill off Taylor TM and be done with the games, done with the reinvention. The plot summary of A Swiftly Tilting Planet says that it’s a book about "going back in time and changing might-have-beens." What decisions would she have made differently if she could do it all over again?

I don't know, friends. Take from this what you will. All I know is, this woman and all her brilliant duality is going to send me to a padded room. ✌🏻
