It’s Share A Song Sunday! I had such low energy today it’s only fitting i went with a low energy song.
This one is called “Late Night Lovin’”! You ever had such a bad night that you’re willing to let anyone into your space just to get to the next morning? Yeah, that. Thankfully, I’ve only been there once. Hope you enjoy the song!
From the last post you answered about Temsen, why doesn’t he want to be close to anyone in UtB? Is it a peak alpha thing for him, or so much work? Or bad friendship/relationship in the past?
Side note: Temsen is probably my favorite character before Augus and the Raven Prince, so I seek to know as much about him as possible 😂
Hi anon!
It is indeed a peak alpha thing! Temsen is truly happy.
Most peak alphas aren't drawn to personal relationships and are happiest when they have control over something much larger, like a group of people. He's a doctor who controls and oversees the health of over 20 omegas in his care, he has all the personal satisfaction he needs from the life he lives, and a relationship would only make him miserable and draw him further and further away from himself.
Most peak alphas never fall in romantic love and some are incapable of it. Temsen's definitely one of them!
He still considers himself as being close to people, it's just in a way that most people wouldn't recognise. For him, talking to Gary, or some of the caterers, or offering compassion to an omega etc. is all he needs to get by in life.
He's never been through any real interpersonal trauma, the worst things he's been through are around his training at university and seeing omegas in experimentation facilities etc. - things he chose to witness and that shaped his path in life and made it more satisfying for him.
Temsen's happiest as a doctor! He doesn't need anything more, including a personal (romantic) relationship!
one of my fav things abt @ninja-grace is that i can say something to them and they will figure out what it means and then i say it again and they don't know anymore
Would you be willing to help me get my treatment? any form of help to save my life , I'm diagnosed with stage 2 ovarian cancer which has spread to my lungs, neck and brain. I'm in a very vulnerable situation with no treatment because I'm homeless too😢
I am so sorry. I am not in a position to be able to donate any money. But I will be sure to spread awareness to your situation! I wish you the best in recovery.
i absolutely love teenagers. i told a group of them about my work and asked them what their demands for the united nations would be and they debated among themselves and told me to "tell them to make doner kebab three euros again". yeah man i'll ask
Broke: Acknowledging that a character who is an objectively terrible person is also a complex and intentionally well thought out individual with different levels of nuance you can empathize with in some ways while not in others is immediately “woobifying” or “poor little meow meowifying” them.
Woke: “This character is a bad person” and “this character is still a person” are two statements that can, should and do coexist and admitting that they exhibit nuance and depth and are more than just their bad actions doesn’t immediately excuse or condone their bad actions or mean that you’re ignoring or trying to soften the canonical version of the character.
Bespoke: That’s the whole point, that’s always been the point, to be made to empathize with horrible people so you can understand that they can be anyone, that bad people can be likeable, can be interesting, can be human, are human, and it’s scary to think about all the ways they’re just like you and all the ways they’re just like everything you hate, forcing the use of critical skills in media analysis, forcing a confrontation of the duality of man.
Whatever Level is Above Bespoke: But sometimes, yeah, sure, maybe they are a poor little meow meow, what are you gonna do, get a lawyer
I’m so fucking insane about them you have no idea.
Listen. L i s t e n. My headcanon is. If only Optimus was there when Prowl got mind controlled by the Decepticons. If he was there he would be able to tell the difference. Every other bot just looked at Prowl and went …oh well I guess this asshole is evil I’m not surprised and never liked him anyway. But Optimus would see it. He fucking would
The comics I took these screenshots from are “Optimus Prime” and “Combiner wars”
