'i hate jason grace because he thought he was worthy enough to compete with percy' I'm sorry have y'all SEEN jason. this man defeated a TITAN without weapons and his bare hands to the point the titan wanted to rise from the UNDERWORLD with the help of a GODDESS to seek vengeance over him. I think we can cut him slack for having some well deserved self respect bc I'd brag too wtf

THE WHOLE SQUAD

[10yrratiolover]

The Intelligentsia Guild is, according to its wiki, is a group that is financially supported by the IPC. Meaning, that by default, those within the Intelligentsia Guild are in a lower position in power than those in the IPC.

Yet, Ratio is almost always showcased alongside the higher ranking IPC members, commenting under their social media posts (albeit only Aventurines but I digress), being very frequently shown alongside them in promotional material, and even having a reference in the actual IPC trailer.

Now, it's been made clear already that he does have direct relations with the IPC, as seen in the Penacony story, but trying to figure out what these relations exactly are is where I'd like to look.

It is clear he isn't a direct member of the IPC, seeing as he is exclusively introduced as a member of the Intelligentsia Guild, however, in his third character story Margaret states that he received an invitation from the IPC. The exact details of this invitation are not given, but it is described as carrying an amount of solemnity. This, and the fact that during the Penacony story Ratio states, "…only IPC senior members and related members can access it - but I happen to be among them." THIS as well as the fact that in the space station mission, he is introduced as a Delegate from the IPC.

Now, I believe that Ratio is not necessarily a direct member of the IPC, but more an honorary member. I think this is mostly because he is never mentioned as a member of the IPC, only the Intelligentsia Guild. However The Intelligentsia Guild is heavily implied to be an extension of IPC of sorts, and many Intelligentsia Guild members likely do work for IPC, Ratio included. It's clear in his third character story that the IPC is aware of his existence specifically, and I find it easy to believe that his intelligence is used for the benefit of the IPC, especially since in that character story he was sent that letter during the test-firing of an anti-planetary weapon he had developed.

I think he refuses to accept a direct job with the IPC, not wanting that title before or after his name when he's introduced after knowing about all the things that the IPC has done.

I don't think Ratio would want to be associated directly with the IPC, instead being perfectly content to remain in the Guild, leading to yet another faction that he will never join due to his humanity and care for people.

No bc I mean it when I say I’m mentally ill in the least quirky way possible bc today at work I was stressed out to the point of tears about something and so I absentmindedly took the patient’s form to my doctor boss . And so he takes it and is like come w me and then he takes to his office and gives me a lychee. And I’m like omg I never peeled a lychee before. And he’s like really?? And he pauses what he’s doing to take me to the kitchen and show me how to peel a lychee. The lychee he gave me is still in my backpack . As you can surmise my fatherless heart wasn’t normal about this

Just a chart about what I wanna change up and keep consistent in my art - I mainly wanna draw Raph with a tail because he deserves one, it fits too well. Donnie gets a long tail too because I didn’t realize how dino-like he looks until I gave him one, and now it’s a must for me haha.

I swear we need these scruff bar shenanigans that have been mentioned in a few asks. It’s too cute. Does it mostly happen to Miko and Jack bc they are more adventurous and active? Also a little confused by the ask on Optimus biting scruff bars? Is that like comforting?

The scruff bar usage is a way for older Cybertronians to corral their rambunctious little ones, especially those too bitey or have a tendency to bolt. Bitlets don't go limp from having their scruff bar getting pulled on, but it makes it far easier to lull down them down with aggressive EM field byplay since adults are able to take control of their field like that.

So scruff bar yanking isn't the comfort part. It's all the snuggles via field play or physically holding them down.

It's mainly Miko and Jack because they would try to climb him or wander away. Raf is still in a baby phase, so he sleeps like a solid brick of concrete while nuzzling to a heat source.

I like the thought Optimus biting their scruff bars because 1) he's beyond exhausted to care that it's inappropriate for a city-mech, 2) sparklings don't have the cultural background to understand, and 3) I think it's a cute detail of the feral!pre-Orion Pax life. Optimus has a lot of positive feelings towards over that specific behavior because it means safe, secure, and toasty snuggles.

There were a few Rangers with trained mechanimal companions and some beastformers that would do that to a wild, exhausted sparkling. They were hoping to coax him into joining their respective groups with enough food and care.

yuuta exhibits such previously abandoned, recently adopted dog behavior. incredibly anxious all the time, even though nobody’s out to get him or leave him behind. waits for you to return home or from school or from work excitedly, just to see you when you walk through the door. follows you around senselessly, hovering in your space just for the sake of companionship. initiates affection in prodding ways—starts off next to you, then a hand on your thigh, then deems it safe to lay all the way down, then slowly pushes his head into your lap. gets up whenever you need to get up, and resumes his position as soon as you’re ready. brings you gifts as a sign that he’s thinking of you, and maybe because he likes the affection it brings out in you, maybe because he likes the gentle affirming touches of a hand in his hair or a pinch to his cheek. rests his head on your stomach or his chin on your shoulder when he’s sleepy, stays there, immobile, and will not move unless absolutely necessary. sometimes he gets surprised when he hears you calling for him, there’s a moment of disbelief as he thinks “me? really? you need me?” but it’s very quickly overshadowed by this compulsive need to show up, to please, to do anything for you, which is why he always answers when you call. he doesn’t realize that he has puppygod eyes, especially when he’s excited or confused, but he does and it’s incredible endearing. very reluctant to share your space or attention after a while, considers that to be sacred and he won’t risk being let go or lost again, so as a safety precaution, he keeps himself right by you, waits for you always.
