Your description says any continuity so I hope Earthspark is ok. Can we please get Megatron watching s/o be very soft and letting their guard down around the Terrans. Or maybe an after interaction maybe if you don’t wanna do a Megatron pov. Just some fluff really. I love soft autobot Megs.

SOFT MEGS SOFT MEGS!!!!! so yeah this ended up being a straight up fic welp

"Soft" wasn't a disposition that came easily for Megatron. 'After so many years of commanding respect by being made of stone', one might think, but truly warmth and kindness wasn't something he'd ever been taught to lose. Of course, Optimus was far more practiced at being kind than he was, but more often than not he also kept a certain distance as a leader, a representative of Cybertron for the people of Earth, a palpable beating spark but nevertheless one behind armor.

So how did you manage it?

He'd watch you play with the terrans like you were one of their own siblings... albeit with a little more common sense under your belt. Laughing and hugging and finding little moments to weave lessons into your words without ever seeming like you were talking down to them. Another bot might mistake it for naivete, but Megatron had known you - loved you - for aeons. He knew you'd seen almost as much darkness as he had (some by his own hand - he'd finally began to not let the guilt push you away, but he'd never fully forget that, never take your grace for granted) so how could you now be... like this?

"I'm relaxing because I never got to," you tell him when he finally finds the words to ask you outright. "The war is over. Yes, we're still picking up a few pieces, but I want this next generation to have peace. I...want to finally have peace."

And before he can overthink that, you gently take his hand in both of yours and lead him towards the others. "Peace with you, if you'll let me."

Ulysses obsession with the Courier is a special type of sad to me cause the Courier’s part was so important but so unwitting. They had no idea what was in the package they delivered and neither did he. Neither had an idea of what it could’ve done and the Courier was only caring out their job (mind you the Courier could be killed via notes in the express contract if they don’t). To them it was just another regular delivery to the divide and one that they likely thought would help, just like all the ones before.

It’s so tragic for Ulysses to hold so much ire to the Courier when it really was the case of it could’ve been anyone. Anyone could have delivered that package but they did and so he focused the blame on them and it destroys what he is trying to instill in the courier on a fundamental level.

reading boba fett’s story in legacy of the force really is like, “wow, this man’s got 99 problems and actually communicating with the people he loves would solve at least 85% of them”

Do you think the corpus and grineer have protocols to follow if there's ever a tenno on their ship (or just in the area)

sure do love reading posts about how zionism is a special, different kind of colonization that makes it actually fine and okay :)

like there were a LOT of antizionist jews in the early 20th century. there are a lot of us now. and it’s not because we just don’t Understand the Complexities of the israeli political situation. it’s because all forms of zionism, from their inception and to this day, have all always been morally wrong. israel was founded with a massive act of ethnic cleansing and murder because there is no other possible way to move large amounts of people into a place where other people already live that ensures the people arriving have all the political power. there was never a Good israel and there was never a Good zionism. it was rotten from its inception and it cannot be fixed or repaired or cleansed of the blood it demands.

you can dress up your explanations in lots of long paragraphs but the actual definition of all zionism is simply “we get to force everyone who was already living in this place to leave or be subservient to us or simply be killed.” there is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.

Old tweet but Trent is right. If you're talking shit about OC, you're simply a fucking idiot.

what if i said Viserys did, in fact, have Harwin killed, and Larys, being who he is, found out and spent the rest of his life trying to destroy House Targaryen? he was the spy on the Green Council to ensure mutual destruction and did whatever he could at every opportunity to get as many of them killed as possible, then during the Hour of the Wolf, chose death over taking the black because he'd accomplished his goal: the dragons were dead, and all that remained were traumatized children.

you can find the exact moment the absurd sets in by letting someone play minecraft because kids just want to mine but at a certain point a switch flips and they will start reinventing god.

I’ve never could believe that Future Foundation and Towa City were the only real factions out there in the tragedy, the entire country was destroyed along with the government. You can’t tells me there isn’t 200+ factions ranging from tiny to decently sized all squabbling for power, Future Foundation may be one of the larger and better equipped factions, but there’s no way Japan, and every other country, aren’t fractured into a dozens of different factions and groups of varying beliefs and sizes all vying for power and control in a destroyed world. Which opens such a fun political intrigue possibilities!

I just found the fucking Lilith site with all the lore and stories between the characters and stuff on the factions

I've been bingereading the Graveborn faction lore and oh my god??? There is so much???

I'm glad there's someone else in this company who plays Little Wars: 0U, Marten was this close to forcing me to print my own army and spending our next date night learning how to play.

The genre of a fantasy game/tvshow/film deciing to have a minstrel type figure do characterisation of their Epic Hero through song and then having it be pop lyricism backed by a lute played like a guitar needs to end. If you want a heroic lay, then fucking write a heroic lay using actual metre, or don't bother.
