Hellooooo, congrats on the followers! You deserve them and many more! I was wondering, can I request dog!Toji where he’s the alpha and reader is the omega? However reader managed to get him into a type of bdsm for his heat and she even uses a leash on him to tug on to make him fuck her harder😖 Maybe he even breaks out somehow? You can go all out! I love everything you make. Thank you and again congrats!

𝐒𝐘𝐍𝐎𝐏𝐒𝐈𝐒: toji finds himself in a restrictive predicament you forced him into, but your spotlight will soon diminish.

ty bestie! and ty for the sexy ass request🤤

toji was never the type to relinquish himself to anyone. that’s just who he’s known for (reason why he left the zenin clan to find his own path). being ordered and demanded was something that never settled right with him. he was his own person and he will make his own rules, and he’d be damned if some bastard with barely any self earned respect was gonna boss him around.

now of course if money was the outcome, toji wouldn’t refuse; money is what makes the world go ‘round, he always believed. he wouldn’t hesitate if it meant getting a few extra bucks but that doesn’t mean he’d completely sacrifice his personal life to follow the directive of his employer. toji takes no shit from anybody.

unless “anybody” was you.

the prissy and proper daughter of the ceo of a manufacturing company is who you are — feigning your innocence with a soft peck on your father’s cheek chanting out an “i love you, daddy!” as your bunny ears bounce when you jump up to hug the elderly rabbit. his hearty laughs always rumble against your chest and fill in the gaps of the humongous room.

during one of the mundane meetings toji had to attend to, he certainly didn’t miss your presence standing next to the tall figure of your father, arm tangled with his as you observed him quietly. he would share small little glances with you, shooting you a cunning smirk whenever he found the right timing. he would catch you staring and you’d look away, pouting those cute lips of yours in embarrassment — proving just how coy you were.

needless to say, toji found his way to woo you, wrapping your vulnerable self around the thickness of his finger, having the easy ability to adjust your grip. the facile task earned him with whatever he wanted; you loved to spoil him rotten with the money your father would lend you and toji never complained.

though he might be taking advantage of you (and the money in your back pocket), the black wolf cared for you deeply. during the span of your relationship it grew from faux adoration to authentic devotion. toji couldn’t resist from finding you the most adorable thing on the planet.

toji found you captivating, he was slowly being put at your mercy, snaking around your finger as you do with his. you both seemingly couldn’t get enough of each other. he was so lovesick over you that he even allowed you to tie him on the california king sized bed (well, not really).

his rut had rocket his libido and toji initially wanted to just bend you over the kitchen countertop and rail you against the marble surface, but you had other plans, telling him that you wanted to try something new tonight before leading him up to the bedroom.

wet kisses were exchanged before opening the door to your spacious room. easing him down on the bed you grind yourself on his cock, the only barrier keeping you from the real thing was both of your undergarments.

digging his fingers in the thick flesh of your ass to increase the pressure of your pelvis on his, he growls when he smells the heady scent of your needy pussy under your skirt, your fluids dampened the material of your thongs with each hungry stroke and stained the designer pants you bought for him — no worries, you’ll just buy him a new pair or two.

“fuck babygirl, you want this more than i do. shit, lemme see this greedy cunt of yours.” ignoring your protest he moves the ivory thong to the side, enthralled by the juices that flowed out of you and leaked on his already soaked jeans.

“t-toji, wait a minute, will ya’? i wanna show you somethin’.”

“well hurry it up doll. don’t keep me waiting long or i’ll fuck that pussy without warning.” you trace your fingers against his chest, teasing the scarred skin of his toned abs up to his small nipples, circling around the small hard bud. toji softly sighs at the ministration, too distracted by the tingling spreading throughout his chest to realize the fuzzy pink cuffs and collar you grabbed from under the pillow.

“that feels good, love. why don’t you go ahead and take my pants- wha—hey!—what the hell... y/n...!” toji struggles against the tight restraints, your ears twitch as you hear the rattling of the chains and you cutely giggle.

“aww, toji~ don’t panic. i’m gonna help you feel good. that’s what you want, right?” you reveal the pink collar covered in multiple hearts around the circumference, shaking it front of his glowered face, happily mocking him.

unbuckling the belt of the collar you lean the strap to his neck. “let me put this around you.” when you tightened it, he growls lowly at how the decoration of the restrictions contrast with his physical exterior. you reel back to take in the sight in front of you.

collar wrapped firmly around his neck and toji’s ears flatten with indignation — you could even see his sharp fangs sticking out from above his snarled lip. he glared under hooded lids and you would’ve been frightened to death if it wasn’t for how adorable he looked in this new getup.

“you look so cute, toji!” clasping your hands together with a clap of success and tilting your head in admiration. it was obvious that toji was irritated with the “splendid” idea you had in mind.

furrowing his thin eyebrows to object your silly devise. “very funny, y/n. now open the cuffs. and get this stupid fucking collar off of me.”

you shake your head. it wasn’t going to be that easy. “nuh uh! no can do.” turning yourself around until your ass was pressed on top of his nose, feeling him muffle under the weight as you unzip his flyer to pull out the heavy shaft. precum shyly peeked out the tip and you web the consistency with your fingers.

“wooah. you’re dripping... are you turned on, wooolfy?~” you wiggle your hips to which he groans at the sweet taste of discharge spilling all over his tongue. he sweeps up the fluids like it’s his last meal and you quiver lightly at the rough texture of his wet appendage gliding across your puffy clit.

“oooh the big bad wolf is eating out the fragile little bunny! it feels so goood.” stroking under the head of his cock you take him in your plump lips and swirl your tongue around his hot girth before swallowing him in whole. you gag as you consume his length, nose hitting his balls at the base.

toji’s hips jolt at the motion and you move back slightly, enough to catch a fresh breath of air. “tho’ big.” you muffle before going back down.

“gug-ack-!”

you gargle louder when the hard thrust of toji’s hips slap your face. slobber poured down the length of his dick as you were forcibly swallowing him in. toji was seeking release with each tempting pummel of his hips in your wet cavern, his core was ready to burst into a heap of overwhelming pleasure.

but much to toji’s dismay, you release yourself from his aching cock to which he lets out a deep growl beneath you.

“you don’t get to come. not yet. but-” tugging the leash upwards to smoosh toji’s face harder to your dripping folds, you moan out when his nose buries deeply in the crevice of your ass and his tongue delves in your tight little hole.

“-i can.”

rutting your hips, you reached your high and came all over his face — drowning him with your fluids while your body convulses with astounding pleasure. lifting yourself off you were instantly met with a string of curses.

“i swear to fucking god, y/n, let me go. you’re pissing me off and if you go any further i’ll combust.” hovering your pussy above him, you hold his stiff member to angle at your sopping entrance, thirsty to put him inside of you.

“is that so? hmmm that’s good.” you and toji both moan in sync once you lowered yourself down, his large girth spreads your pussy apart at an intense extremity you couldn’t help but tilt your head back when he pokes at your cervix.

“toji... look,” leaning the weight of your body backwards in order for toji to capture the sight beholden to him; his dick was swallowed down to the brim by your greedy pussy, clit rubbing against his pelvis as you showcased all your glory. “look at how i eat you up. you’re so big inside of me.”

your hips raise off him and you spread your lips with your index and middle finger before slamming yourself down. a wet squelch emerges from the sexes that were connected with each other like a lock and key. you plant your hands on toji’s heaving chest to get ready to set your pace.

“fuuuck. y/n.” he looks up to see your breasts bouncing with every rise and downfall of your stuttering hips. you pout at toji’s unproductiveness and you tug at his leash once more.

“don’t just lay there. fuck me!” the filth coming out of the small bunny’s mouth lit a flame within the wolf and he initiates a pace to match yours. the bed shakes whenever his powerful hips increases their tempo. you both were submerged in the intense rut in the moment. he had you dripping so much, cream skimmed across his length and you swipe the thick fluid with your fingers, hoisting it up to your mouth to steal a taste.

“mmm delicious.~” you lean down to share your mouthwatering taste by kissing toji’s salivating lips (even though toji had more than enough from earlier). cock rubbing against your slimy walls and battering that stimulating spot in you, your moans were obnoxious when you felt a knot form in your core yet again and you were destined to chase it.

moaning near his neck, you focus on moving your hips faster to grasp the nearing climax that was soon to be gifted to you. “i’m gonna come again... toji-”

snap.

...oh no

you weren’t even spared the opportunity to glance at the broken cuffs as a big hand easily grips at your neck and you’re met with the toothy grin of your lover — his slitted eyes more dangerous now that he was free.

“now, now. i told you to let me go, little bunny. but you didn’t listen.” slamming you down on the satin covered bed he lifts one of your legs up to your head, hand still wrapped around your small neck, refraining any oxygen from coming in.

“now the big bad wolf really is gonna eat you up.” your mouth widens to let out a silent scream once his broad hips slams into you, your tits jerk at the motion and tears run down your cheek once he prods at your cervix again.

“-orry. t-toji.” you barely utter and toji lets out a hysterical laugh.

“apologizing a little too late, don’t ya’ think? i gave you your chances and you blatantly ignored every single one of them. now let me punish this cunt as i fuck you into the dumb bunny that you’re made to be.”

you shrivel and you tremble — your pussy continues to be ravished with his abusive thrusts. the sloppy noises arouse the wolf more. coming close to knotting in you due to you edging him from his orgasm. he retracts his fingers from choking you and you elicit an exaggerated gasp.

“get ready, baby. you’re gonna catch my knot and you’re gonna tell that daddy of yours that you’ll be pregnant with my pups.” you couldn’t even speak until toji snapped you out of your seductive trance.

“who’s this pussy belong to?” he inquired. you find it difficult to form words when you were being fucked like this. toji slaps your cheek with watered down strength; enough to hurt you but not enough to bruise your skin.

“y-you...! it belongs- to you.”

“and who’s gonna fill this pussy with cum?”

“you are.”

he rewards you with a kiss by your obedience.

“good bunny.”

and with the finished sentence of his praise, he comes inside you like no tomorrow — solidifying his hips on yours, preventing you from escaping.

“yeah thaaat’s right. good bunny. good girl.”

he pulls out to whistle at the the excessive amount of cum leaking out your hole. you spread your cheeks wider for him to see, raising your ass higher so he can observe at a good angle.

wiggling your hips as you whine out to him, “mooore mooore~” in your cum dumb state. toji’s smirk never faltered as he replaced your hands with his.

“never planned on stopping. but-” instead of your slit, he guides his dick to your tight asshole and you writhe about, muttering soft no’s to his cock slowly protruding to tight ring of muscle.

“now i want to try something new-”

[idkwhoiamanymorebutwtf]

Below imma put my reasoning for each of these if you were confused about why I put certain characters where I did.

(note that this is about the show Harley Quinn 2019 so most things outside of this show won’t be taken into account when discussing the character’s alignments)

James Gordon as Lawful Good: He’s group and order oriented, and will cooperate with authority in all cases. You’ll never see Gordon team up with anyone who isn’t strictly on the ‘good’ side of things. He’s convinced that order and laws are absolutely necessary to assure that goodness prevails and continued to uphold the law even when Batman was gone.  A lawful good being kills whenever necessary to promote the greater good, or to protect himself, his companions, or anyone whom he's vowed to defend. In times of war, he strikes down the enemies. Gordon was very much willing to kill Two Face and basically went into an all out war against Harley. He admitted himself that he got into the police force to shoot bad guys. So long as it’s within the letter of the law and the people in question deserve it, he’s very much willing to maim and kill. Gordon responds to authority and when there is no authority figure around he does his best to uphold the law on his own.

Bruce Wayne as Neutral Good: He, like most neutral good characters, values life and freedom above all else, and despises those who would deprive others of them. Neutral good characters, including him, sometimes find themselves forced to work beyond the law, yet for the law, and the greater good of the people. Multiple times throughout the series he teams up with people the law dictates he ought to be fighting, like when he helped Harley in season one and even sacrificed himself to save Harley and Ivy, or when he helped Harley and The Joker get the Justice League back in season two. He’s a super hero, he tries to stay within the law, but he’s willing to work with those who aren’t strictly on the side of ‘good’ if it’s for the sake of goodness.

Barbara Gordon as Chaotic Good:  A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. Babs, within the context of the show, does work with law enforcement, but she isn’t exactly bound by codes and laws. She worked with Harley and Ivy to take down the Riddler in Season 2 (and lets be real lawful characters...probably wouldn’t work with criminals) and she actually tries to befriend and hang out with the two. Working with them wasn’t just because she had to and there was no other option, she actually wanted to be friends with two criminals which again shows that she isn’t exactly bound to the law. In fact, she actively goes against it when she warns Harley about Gordon coming to take her down and tries to dissuade her father from going through with it, actively sabotaging the police to do what she believes is the right thing.

Pamela Isley as Lawful Neutral:  A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs her. Order and organization are paramount to her. She may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard, or she may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government. Traditionally, when people think ‘lawful neutral’ they think the latter of those possible motivations, someone who believes in the law and government, however in Ivy’s case she’s much more dictated by a personal standard. A lawful character trusts someone or something better than he trusts themselves, but they still pick which thing that is, it doesn’t have to be the laws of the land, it can be anything so long as it’s a solid principal or code or set of ideals rather than “whatever I feel like at the time”. Ivy’s moral code focuses mainly on saving the earth and she doesn’t every stray from that. She has a strong ideal that she’s completely dedicated to and doesn’t ever really change. She’s an eco-terrorist, and terrorism is usually enacted over incredibly strong beliefs. She isn’t exactly ‘good’ because although her goal is respectable she does things that most people consider immoral to get there, showing she isn’t too concerned about doing what’s good towards people. However she also doesn’t exactly go out of her way to harm or do evil (i mean she hurts people who try and hurt harley or the environment but this is moreso a form of vigilante justice than doing something ivy sees as immoral because she inherently believes that most of humanity is below the environment and below harley too “she’s my only friend but that’s by design, because she’s the only human I think is worth a shit”.)

Harleen Quinzel as True Neutral: True Neutral character’s fully think of good as better than evil. After all, they would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. They’re just not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. True neutral characters are known to behave in a good, moral way towards friends and allies. They support the people who support them, often out of genuine love. True neutral characters also typically only go out of their ways to hurt people who they think deserve it. Basically people who tried to hurt them or their loved ones first. Beyond that they don’t care. They don’t go out of their way to hurt people who don’t deserve it but if these people haven’t done anything to earn this character’s affection then these people don’t really matter. True neutrals often believe in lex talionis forms of justice. True neutral individuals do not lack interest, ambition, or passion--they value their own well-being and that of friends and loved ones. They may struggle passionately on behalf of themselves or others, as well as feel compassion for those they barely know. But overall they aren’t bound with any loyalty to doing what’s good. They aren’t bound to the law. They don’t feel an obligation to go against morality or law just for the sake of it either, though. I honestly think this is the most fitting for Harley. She doesn’t see any reason to follow the laws so she doesn’t. When someone fucks with her she’ll fuck right back, but generally she isn’t known to go out of her way to hurt people. It really feels like she’s mostly out to protect herself and her own. She’ll fight for things her friends care about and to help the people she loves. She has no qualms about lying and killing when the people in question hurt her or someone she cares about, though. She said herself that she can’t really even be considered a bad guy. Harley turned down the chance to take over the world because she isn’t evil and doesn’t want to inflict unwarranted suffering on random people, but at the same time she’s taken down multiple people who mess with her with little remorse for doing so. The broader conflicts between ‘good’ and ‘evil’ and ‘law’ and ‘chaos’ don’t seem to mean much to her, she’s just out to protect her and her own.

Selina Kyle as Chaotic Neutral: She, like all chaotic neutral characters, strives to protect her freedom first and foremost. Chaotic neutral characters follow their whims without any regard for good or evil or law. They often don’t have much actual concern for personal relationships. Chaotic neutral characters do not necessarily want others to suffer as a result of their actions, but do not care if others do suffer. They tend to behave in a good manner towards friends and allies, unless their friends and allies do not agree with them. Within the show, Selina has betrayed her allies multiple times, first abandoning her to steal a blood diamond and leaving Ivy to pay for her hotel bills, then stealing the the diamond Kiteman wanted to use to propose. She generally isn’t concerned with the wellbeing of Ivy, Harley, or any other allies, and prioritizes her own interests over all else with very little loyalty to...well...anything.

Darkseid as Lawful Evil:  A lawful evil villain methodically takes what he wants within the limits of his code of conduct without regard for whom it hurts. He cares about tradition, loyalty, and order but not about freedom, dignity, or life. He plays by the rules but without mercy or compassion. Darkseid is difficult to please and demands grand gestures of obedience and power in order for people to prove themselves, as was the case of Harley and Doctor Psycho offering to conquer planet Earth for him. Any acts of betrayal or disloyalty towards him is met with anger on his part and an oaf of vengeance. Despite this, he is not without a sense of restraint, as was the case of him returning to Apokolips after Harley refused for a second time to rule over Earth. He keeps his promises (when he offered harley the ability to rule earth after she showed her strength, for example), but doesn’t take kindly to disobedience or disloyalty and is undoubtedly evil, going out of his way to maim, kill, and conquer.

Edgar Cizko as Neutral Evil: Neutral evil characters are primarily concerned with themselves and their own advancement. They have no particular objection to working with others or, for that matter, going it on their own. Their only interest is in getting ahead. If there is a quick and easy way to gain a profit, whether it be legal, questionable, or obviously illegal, they take advantage of it. Although neutral evil characters do not have the every-man-for-himself attitude of chaotic characters, they have no qualms about betraying their friends and companions for personal gain. These characters willingly cooperate with anyone who will further their own ends. They often seek the easy road to fame and fortune, with little concern for the people they trample along the way. They value strength and ability alone. If the neutral evil can use laws to weaken those who stand in the way of his success, he will use them. He may betray a family member, comrade, or friend if it is convenient to do so and it advances his agenda. Dr. Psycho was fully willing to completely betray Harley over an offer of power, something that everyone else on the team viewed as reprehensible (this is why he’s the only one who i’d consider ‘evil’, btw, because king, clayface, harley, and ivy all value their friends/allies over power and control and view each other as friends wheras Dr. Psycho was willing to betray all of them even after everything they’d all gone through together). He does whatever it takes to elevate himself and goes out of his way to hurt people (like trying to take over the world or broadcasting revenge porn of harley and ivy into the sky).

The Joker as Chaotic Evil: As Harley said, he’s a sociopathic narcissist. As with all Chaotic Evil characters, he is hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable.  Thankfully, these character’s plans are haphazard, and any groups they join or form are poorly organized.The Joker may be a ‘genius’ but he often fails to really think things through or execute plans successfully (I knowwww I said we were just analyzing this show and not the character’s other appearances but there’s such a good example from another show to what i mean when i say the joker isn’t as effective as he could be. remember when harley literally came closer to killing batman than joker did and improved his original plans? and the only reason batman survived was because joker threw her out a fucking window and screwed everything up? yeah.) He’s smart and powerful and rutheless and all that but he doesn’t think things through or organize his thoughts well enough.  The major precepts of this alignment are freedom, randomness, and woe. Laws and order, kindness, and good deeds are disdained. Life has no value. By promoting chaos and evil, those of this alignment hope to bring themselves to positions of power, glory, and prestige in a system ruled by individual caprice and their own whim. The chaotic evil creature holds that individual freedom and choice is important, and that other individuals and their freedoms are unimportant if they cannot be held by the individuals through their own strength and merit. Thus, law and order rends to promote not individuals but groups, and groups suppress individual volition and success. The Joker abused his girlfriend ruthlessly, goes out of his way to hurt innocents, tries to kill people on a regular basis weather they deserve it or not, and generally goes out of his way to exert his power over other’s simply for the sake of proving he’s dominant to them.

A3 b2 c4 d2 e4(lol holo) f4 g5 h3 i4 j5 k3 l4 M5 n4 o1 p5 Q1 r1 S1 t5 u5 v4 w2 x4 y5 z3 Mordra! Feel free to only do some of them.

holy shit dude. This took all night. But I got them all. It’s 2:40am.  thanks for the ask.

A3 what abilities do they have that they’ve worked for?

It took Mordra a good deal of work to learn how to calm hisanger on command. Serenity was hard for him to reach at first. But he’s prettygood at shutting down his own anger now.

b2 what is their eye color?

Yellowish hazel. If Mordra was asked he’d say green but he’sfull of shit.

(Makeb’s lightening makes his eyes look gold. It’s so pretty.He’d hate it.)

c4 what is their major comfort food? why?

Imperial instant soups. They remind him of his old home andchildhood.

d2 how would they decorate their child’s room?

However his spouse told him to. Mordra would never have a kidsolo and he rarely decorates anything.

e4 are they up-to-date on the internet fads?

Are you asking if Mordra knows memes? He doesn’t. He had restrictedspace internet access for a few years after joining the Jedi and fell out ofthe habit of regularly using it. Mordra has never managed to grasp republic popculture well. Only memes he knows would be 10 year old imperial ones.

f4 can they have fun while conforming to rules?

I suppose. Mordra isn’t really good at having fun anymore.

g5 what parts of others do they envy?

Mordra envies the conviction of other Jedi. The ability todeclare you way the Will of the Force and follow through without faltering.Mordra can’t do that. He questions himself and follows orders.

h3 do they like the snow?

He’s neutral on snow. It’s pretty but he’s spent weeks onsnow covered planets. And it’s not fun anymore.

i4 would/was theirfamily be okay with them being LGBT?

Mord is bi. His family knew and didn’t think much of it whenhe was a teen. If he were still in the Empire there would be some push to havea serious partner he could have kids with. But gender of his partner wouldn’tmatter, only the chance of creating future Sith.

j5 what brings themthe most joy in the world?

It’s cheesy to say when everything works out ok. But one ofMordra’s favorite things is to see the survivors after the nasty battle. Itmakes him smile to see the people he saved and see them stand without fearagain. He likes to sense their hope or empowerment.

k3 if they could killanyone without punishment, would they? who?

Mordra actually kills a lot of people without punishment. Hegot away with a good number of murders and mercy kills.

But if he had to pick, the overseer who made him identify hisbest friend/sort of boyfriend’s body. Not out of revenge but out of making sureno one goes through what he did. Not that one guy dead would fix Sith education.

l4 do they have any food intolerances?

Not that I can think of.

M5 would they adopt?

Mordra would never willingly adopt children officially. Hedoesn’t want to risk attachment. But he would consider having a second padawan.He didn’t mess up Kira too much.

n4 . what is the mostembarrassing thing they’ve done?

I’ve been wanting to tell this story.

The first time Mordra went to the Jedi council room he wastold to be respectful. Master Phar didn’t tell Mordra what that means in therepublic. So Mordra gets to the council room and he kneels like you do withhigh ranking Sith Lord. And no one says anything for 40 seconds. Mordrakneeling waiting to be ordered to stand, feeling more nervous and awkward bythe moment. the council is awkwardly making eye contact with each other. ThenPhar says “Mordra we don’t do that here.” And helps him up. And someone goes “Atleast he’s seems sincere.”  

Most of the Jedi council still remembers that. Mordra knowsthis. Someone told Praven without naming him.

o1 are they optimistic or pessimistic?

Sort of an optimistic. Mordra like to believe somethings arethe Will of the Force and that the Sith Empire is destined to fall.

p5 do they hate anything about their personality/aboutother’s personalities?

Mordra is very ashamed of his sense of humor. Mostly becausehe failed to rid himself of it.

Q1 do they ask for help?

With doing something, rarely. He’ll often ask for instructions.

r1 do they followrules?

Yes. Or at least Mordra tries to. He’s doing his best tofollow the Jedi code. But if someone gives him orders that go against the law,he’ll follow the orders.

S1 are they street-smart?

Not anymore. I’m not sure if he ever was but he’s worse now.

t5 have they told truths that have been spread against theirwill?

Yes. In a rp his past got spread across the holonet and he hadto explain to someone who called him out about it. In my canon when he waspossessed by Vitiate he let slip the Jedi mistreated him as pow and Doc or/andKira wanted to talk about it.

u5 have they surprised people with being good at something?

He’s shocked a few people by being skilled with a blaster.Most people wouldn’t expect a Jedi to know how to shoot and disassemble a blaster.

v4 what do they like as far as comfort goes?

Mord isn’t good with people. He’d honestly be bettercomforting a dying person then a sick one.

He’d start out asking ‘what could he do?’ ‘what can he bringyou?’ ‘do you need medical attention?’ and try to do whatever he’s asked. He’dalso get Doc unless you tell him not to.

w2 have they learned to swim?

Yes. It is a necessary skill of growing up in Dromund Kaas.

x4 can they sing well?

Probably not.

y5 what’s your favorite thing about them?

I really like playing with brainwashed characters. What Ilove about him is he is aware he was mistreated and turn to the light againsthis will, yet he’s believes it was force the greater good and tries to be aJedi even if he never wanted to be. I like the conflict of being forced down apath and still trying to walk it.

z3 cats or dogs?

I’m assuming pets not wild animals. I suppose cats. Mordra isvery bad with animals. Dogs are harder. cats will leave you alone. Dog want attentionor will see you sizing them up as a threat and start barking.  Plus less cats have tried to kill him thendogs.

Why Megatron’s Redemption Arc Falls Flat - Part 1

So the intention was to have this out before LL #22, which it kind of is?? Disregarding the leak, which I haven’t read yet - but since Megatron’s back in the picture again, I wanted to go over why I don’t feel his redemption arc works. This is going to be a 2-part post, with Part 1 here based on how Megs’ arc affects his character narrative, and Part 2 (which I’ll probably post within the week), will be about how Megs’ arc functions on a meta level, and how those meta-textual details are used to highlight and hide different parts of his story.

To start, a recap on what a redemption arc is: a character making up for past mistakes - a process of self-reflection and action taken to make amends for things they’ve done in the past.

One really good example of this in the TF comics so far is Drift. High ranking Decepticon general switches sides late in the war, joining the Black Ops equivalent of the Autobots, specifically so that he can go in and take on the worst aspects of his former faction. He uses religion to soothe his guilt and acknowledges that he’s made enemies of most everyone he’s likely to meet - the Decepticons for defecting, and the Autobots for being a Decepticon. He uses that to his advantage to protect his friend (Rodimus) from punishment, and uses his time in exile to try and right as many wrongs as possible in an attempt to balance his karmic scale. Is it a healthy approach? Not entirely. But is it a believable, emotionally strong character arc? Absolutely.

So we’ve seen a redemption arc done right. But then we get to Megatron’s. Leader of a war faction that committed genocide on billions of sentient beings under his orders denounces the faction under duress and gets put in a leadership position of a small band of generally Autobot aligned Cybertronians, becomes a pacifist and then is allowed to teach lessons on the ship. When he is confronted by the DJD angry about his abandonment of the movement he convinces his teammates to stay on the planet to defend organics and fight while he directs from the back. After deciding to abandon his vow of pacifism he kills the DJD and restores his Decepticon badge, is saved by his teammates, and reverts back to his Autobot allegiance. He and the team are then thrust into an alternate world where the Decepticon movement never began and Cybertron is under totalitarian rule, again commands a force from the back, before remaining behind in this universe to begin the Decepticon movement again, so they may rise up against their Functionist masters - but this time, he will do it ‘right’.

I mean, what? Did anybody else see the huge blip in his supposed redemption there?

Let me make my position clear. I don’t like this arc. I don’t like how Megatron’s personality turns on a dime, and we are expected to believe that this is because he has been redeemed. Because he hasn’t.

Megatron’s biggest concern is his reputation. He only changes his ways when he steps back and realises ‘shit, I’m the villain in this story’ - he didn’t win the war, which means he’s not the conquering hero, which means he doesn’t get to write the history books now. No, he’s staring down the barrel at a future of hatred and blame that he does not think he deserves. That’s what motivates him to twist the trial in his favour. That’s what motivates him to distance himself from the Decepticon narrative. That’s what motivates him to confront the DJD. And that’s what motivates him to try and reclaim that mantle in the Functionist universe. It’s all about his damn ego.

And he knows how to play the game. He’s a master manipulator, and sometimes his lies are blatant as he tries to play the good guy card. When he wakes up with Tailgate preparing to perform mnemosurgery, he says later to Cyclonus ‘I wouldn’t have hurt him. I hope you know that.’ Bull fucking shit. When Rung plans to disbar himself from practicing, he first tries to prevent Rung from handing in his resignation by claiming that Rung ‘deserves’ to continue in his role. When he’s met with resistance he tells Rung he should let his patients know, and that from there they can decide if they want to see him. Rung shoots this down pretty damn quick though - because Rung knows that he is the voice of experience in this situation, and that therefore it is his duty to do the right thing. This is in direct contradiction to what we’ve seen of Megatron. If Megatron had showed the same sense of responsibility, he would never have taken up the mantle of leadership again in the Functionist universe. He knows what happened last time. But he leaves his new people uninformed on the assumption that he can objectively monitor himself, he is setting them up for disaster.

Which brings us back to this: Megatron doesn’t care about the people he’s hurt, or about the lives or planets he’s ravaged. He only cares about his own story.

The unleashing of Megatron upon a Cybertron that doesn’t know what he’s been doing for the past four million years is treated within the narrative as something wonderful, a chance for a new beginning, but really? Megatron gets a chance to start his story again, from scratch, but all those people he killed? The lives he destroyed? They don’t matter to him, and they’re not supposed to matter to the audience either. Megatron gets a clean slate, and meanwhile, the rest of the cast goes back to cleaning up the messes he left behind.

Megatron doesn’t deserve a clean slate. He needs to confront the results of his past – something that the canon lets him get away without. At no point does Megatron speak to any cons who suffered for his war, they never visit places Megatron has pillaged for resources, and when people do try to hold him responsible, they are positioned as the bad guys. Megatron talks about how being on the LL is the happiest time of his life, and really that makes a lots of sense. He’s been elevated to a position of power, like he always wanted, he’s being respected as an academic, like he always wanted, and he is working with an isolated group of people who are all treated as equals, like he wanted. The big thing he conveniently forgets, however, is that he’s not responsible for any of this. All this success Megatron is receiving? That all comes from the Autobots. Could you imagine he would show as much mercy if he had won the war? But no, this is Megatron’s story. As long as he is happy, he does not need to bother himself with the mess he left behind.

Megatron’s redemption arc falls flat for me because this is not the Megatron that we’ve seen in the IDW verse for the last umpteen years. This is an entirely different creature, and significant work was done to make him as sympathetic as possible, and to make the audience forget who Megatron truly is.

For a meta-textual analysis of how that is done, stay tuned for Part 2 [which will be linked here when complete].
