When Arien took up the mantel of the sun, her younger sister, filled with jealousy and resentment, attempted to create her own sun to carry across the sky. She failed, however, her already crumbling corruption caused her to become something far darker, all consuming, and empty.
Or, Gothmog, as I imagine her, as a Black Hole, Supernova, Void.

MegOp is making me crazy as usual, but now I have some new, specific inspiration!
So it started with @that-fanperson-meg saying this under a post I made about the Transformers account posting a TFO MegOp edit.
I recognized the name of the song but had never actually listened to it, and hooooo boy, it activated something in the part of my brain that thinks about MegOp... So, I'm listening to this song, and I have the clearest vision that it's about Megatron's mindset/thoughts during his mental health's lowest point in the worst depths of the war. (fair warning, my analysis/brainrot is based on my own personal continuity/au, so there are some minor references to that, but it's all fairly standard, and I explain it a bit, so just go with it, and you shouldn't be confused.) Ok, preamble over. Time for the lyrical analysis:
I hope that our few remaining friends Give up on trying to save us I hope we come up with a failsafe plot To piss off the dumb few that forgave us I hope the fences we mended Fall down beneath their own weight And I hope we hang on past the last exit I hope it's already too late
Megatron assumes that Optimus is in just as bad of a place as he is. He's wrong, of course, OP certainly isn't enjoying himself, but he has an actual support system that he feels comfortable leaning on. On the other hand, Soundwave is the only thing even approaching a friend for Megatron (and he is waaay too closed off at this point to admit it). Starscream is a backstabbing, power-hungry sycophant with his own heap of baggage (I really gotta make a post about my version of all that sometime); Shockwave is purely logic-driven as usual, only interested in advancing the Cybertronian race via the Decepticon cause. By this time, Megatron feels like both sides are too deep into the war to even consider peace. He honestly can't fathom it.
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here Someday burns down And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away And I never come back to this town again in my life
Megatron has always wanted to escape the path that was decided for him. But now, after losing what he and Orion had and the resulting fallout, he won't go quietly into the night, not before causing some irreparable damage first. And the war will do just that. He hopes the destruction the great war causes keeps pushing him forward, even out beyond Cybertron. At least then, he won't ever need to face the past and who he used to be. He couldn't recognize himself now if he tried, so he doesn't even try.
I hope I lie And tell everyone you were a good wife And I hope you die I hope we both die
Even though it's clear to him that they hate each other and are not good for each other, Megatron still has some form of loyalty to what he and Orion had. If somehow, someday, someone were to ask him about them, he wouldn’t tell them about all their problems, but instead that they were good together. Maybe if this hypothetical future version of Megatron doesn't mention all the pain their split caused, then maybe it was a little less real. He knows that as long as Optimus is around, he won't be able to stop fighting; he's just too hurt and angry. He wishes Optimus would just die, that they both would.
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow I hope it bleeds all day long Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises We're pretty sure they're all wrong I hope it stays dark forever I hope the worst isn't over And I hope you blink before I do And I hope I never get sober
Soundwave, the only even semi-positive influence on him right now, is the one telling Megatron it's darkest before the sun rises. Soundwave is a true believer in the original cause of the Decepticons, probably the last one in High Command; everyone else is either using the cause as a means to take out their pain (Megatron and Starscream) or as a means to an end (Shockwave). Megatron is finding it harder and harder to believe Soundwave with each passing day, and yet again assumes Optimus is doing the same. He's starting to hope it never ends. He's comfortable with it now; the war fills the hole that his old life left in him. All he really knows is that he can't bring himself to yield to Optimus and doesn't think he ever will. If he did, he wouldn't know what to do with himself.
And I hope when you think of me years down the line You can't find one good thing to say And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out You'd stay the hell out of my way
Megatron is hoping that Optimus is suffering too, since he is, and doesn’t want him to feel anything positive through this since he cannot. But at the same time, he’s trying so hard to be a bastard so that it won’t hurt as much. He does still want to speak well of their past if he gets the chance, so some loyalty or fondness remains deep down. If there were good times to look back on, there would be sadness that those times are over. If Optimus has nothing good to say about him, all he would feel is relief that that part of their lives is over.
I am drowning There is no sign of land You are coming down with me Hand in unlovable hand And I hope you die I hope we both die
Megatron can't see any way out of where he's gotten them. To him, there's no path to peace anymore. The only solace Megatron can find is the hope that Optimus falls with him. Even now, the two of their fates must be interlocked, as if it were a universal constant to him - simple common sense. He just wants it to be over, even as he can't bring himself to stop.
#yay angst#sorry#i feel like i repeated a lot#but its late#and im writing stream of consciousness#plus the war itself has always been my least fleshed out part of my continuity#so getting a spark of insp for the war was exciting#also to reiterate these are all just megatrons thoughts#not facts#eventually after some light death and rebirth shenanigans#he has a redemption#and mends things with optimus#even if they are never fully back to how they were#long post#again sorry#transformers#maccadam#megatron#optimus prime#megop

Watching The Bad Batch with my mum and she really hates Crosshair… this might be a long watch
She is also not very impressed that he’s my favourite and I appear to be driving her insane by just repeating “I love him, my favourite imperial nightmare.”
We’re only on episode seven of season one too so he’s not even that bad rn… she keeps going on about the bad things he’s done so far and I am so close to telling her that he’s not even really started yet lol
#I am also not telling her about his redemption#I am going to force her to get there on her own and then apologise for being mean about him#I’m also waiting for after she watches the redemption and goes “ah so this is why you like him#and I’ll respond “nope I loved him from the start murder and all#star wars#star wars the bad batch#the bad batch crosshair#the bad batch#star wars tbb#tbb crosshair#tbb#crosshair

For the 3 sentence prompt lofty, (also make sure you are and drank something today)
-Granddaughter
Ganondorf watched this strange imposter, this young woman leading her band of Gerudo. She claimed her name was Nabooru, but this was most certainly not his wife, nor the spunky teenager who had tried to defy him in his youth… so…
How much time had passed since he’d been sealed away? Could she… could she be his granddaughter from Link and Hemisi?
Where were his children?
#you ask skye answers#lovely anon#writing#Fun fact Ganondorf at first thinks Nabooru in Golden Mercy is Link/Hemisi’s kid/descendant#Just for more pain :)#Good ganondorf#golden mercy#Ganondorf#don’t worry ganondorf you’re gonna find out it’s been more than a couple generations#And that your kids are long gone#And they never got together#And you’re an awful person#It’ll be great#He deserves to be smacked down a bit for everything he did in the imprisoning war after all#But I’m also a sucker for redemption arcs sooooo#And don’t worry anon I ate and drank! :)

I know it's 2024 and nobody cares anymore (I hope), but I finally watched Adam Driver's latest interview about Star Wars that he made about two months ago and I felt like commenting on it, because why not?
Quite frankly, I don't know why anyone is so surprised. What he said, essentially, is something we already knew: that there was no Great Plan on the sequel trilogy and that Kylo Ren was originally conceived as an unsympathetic, irredeemable character that got popular against the production's intentions.
Mind you, I'm not happy about any of this. But surprised? Nah. In fact, my only consolation is that I sensed bullshit all the way back in 2018, when I looked at Kylo Ren's haunted face and thought "this is gonna be another Loki: rooting for him will only end in heartbreak". Then the Rise of Skywalker happened, and it was so bad that basically turned me into a Kylo -and yes, even Reylo- fan overnight. As I said many times, the shortest way to make me love a character is to treat them unfairly. It doesn't matter to me if they are "good" or "bad": fiction isn't reality and it doesn't follow the same rules. In fiction, the most important thing is to be consistent: among other things, you have to make sure you follow up to all the things you've planted beforehand (unless, of course, there's a theme about incompleteness or something).
I was angry on his behalf for a good while, I can only imagine feeling like this for years. I said before that I got the feeling Ford had basically improvised the whole scene with Adam Driver, but now I'm wondering if maybe he was also the one who pushed for Kylo's redemption too. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised. Somebody had to point out that people watch Star Wars for the Skywalker family, hoping they get a happy ending.
How the fuck could the whole production be shocked that redemption -especially redemption for a Skywalker- was Star Wars' big theme? Especially AFTER they decided to make a sequel trilogy NOBODY had asked for? I guess this is what happens when a franchise gets lost in too much lore and details, or huge space fights.
Anyway, I'm sorry for Driver because it's clear they wasted his talent, but on the bright side, it put him on the map and now we can enjoy him in more projects.
#star wars#star wars sequel trilogy#kylo ren#adam driver#another bright side: no kylo tv show#i really don't want him to become another loki#with fans literally begging to complete his character arc for a decade#his arc being a redemption arc after thor/his family/asgard did admit they contribuited to his villainy in some ways#and the studios giving us ANYTHING BUT THAT

zuko: makes the conscious decision to leave all his luxury and privilege behind to confront his father about the war and right his wrongs, does his best to make up for his actions
catra: only apologizes to adora and does a good thing when she has run out of options and will likely be cast out by horde prime, immediately goes back to her toxic nature as soon as she's rescued
#they are not the same.#this is what is genuinely impressive about zuko's redemption arc#he had everything he thought he wanted in s3#his father's approval‚ his title of crown prince‚ he gets to attend war meetings‚ the avatar is (presumably) dead#he could have easily stayed as a villain#but he CHOSE to leave all of that behind to do the right thing#meanwhile when catra got everything she wanted she showed no signs of wanting to change#she only took the initiative after she lost everything#that means a lot less honestly#spop critical#spop salt#spop#spop criticism#spop discourse#she ra#anti spop#anti catra#anticatra

“Din Djarin’s identity as a Mandalorian will always be central to his character, and his devotion to his orthodox religion, warrior’s creed, and its chivalrous code of honor is a truly noble one.”
and
“Din Djarin’s devotion to his creed has fundamentally isolated him from love, his role as The Tribe’s breadwinner was as unsustainable as it gave him purpose, and the fierceness of his faith stems from unprocessed trauma and the guilt he feels as an orphan and a foundling. His views on what it means to be a Mandalorian were narrow until he met others who didn’t conform to his own creed, and in this, his status as an voluntary oathbreaker is equally as integral to his character.”
…are both takes that co-exist in my mind.
#Star Wars#the mandalorian#din djarin#character analysis#sol rambles#obligatory this is not meant to be a hot take and nobody has to agree with me on this#2nd obligatory I can interpret this character however I want to within reasonable limits#and as a person from a religious background who now identifies as agnostic#I find this more than reasonable#I honestly love entertaining the idea of Din renouncing his orthodoxy as much as I loved his redemption#Din’s relationship with his faith in S2 was so realistically messy#and it resonated with me greatly#the “is it truly faith if people just get to pick and choose what to adhere to and what to disregard?”#“wtf does that make me?”#people do turn to religion after deep personal loss#and it can be a beautiful thing as much as it can be dangerous#faith can consume you to the point where you can no longer recognize yourself without it#and I saw Din being well on that path if Grogu hadn’t come along#transcending religious identities is such a juicy motif in Star Wars#all starting with Luke declaring he’s a Jedi like his father before him#while also fiercely defying both his masters by refusing to sacrifice Han and Leia in order to complete his training#the training Yoda dictated for him#literally the embodiment of The Old Order#and what’s that saying?#none will be free until the old ways are gone forever#oh my god I am rambling#THANK YOU FOR LISTENING#Sol out

Every now and then I see Hot Takes about Megatron's ending in IDW1 that drive me nuts like dlskfdjlskf some people really get caught up so much in JRO's sad old man Megatron that they deadass think that Megatron getting sent off to trial to face either execution or lifelong imprisonment wasn't just a bad ending, but was specifically some sort of "fuck you" or punishment to say that villains aren't allowed to have nice things or whatever. Girl do you know what the fucking genre/tone is of the comic you just read? IDW1 is a heavily political, morally gray universe leaning heavily towards realism in terms of its handling of plot themes and you're seriously out there saying that Megatron, a war criminal with crimes/deaths stretching to the billions, is being unfairly punished by the writers by getting sent off to trial? You know, like what makes sense for the realistic kind of universe IDW1 is?
I mean fuck man JRO literally plotholed/handwaved major lore about the Matrix and Cybertronian-organic relations with that "oh lots of religious organics recognize the sacredness of the Matrix" and completely undercut the emotional weight of Megatron's (and everyone else's) ending by having his quantum copy get to fly off and have adventures in the universe forever and ever.
What in the FUCK else do you want from an author (JRO) who's already a flaming Megatron apologist that whitewashed Megatron's personality, gave him so many sympathetic backstory points, and then invented an entire alternate universe as an excuse to have Megatron save billions of lives to contrast with the ones he killed. Like god I love Megatron too but some of you ppl are fucking blind
#squiggposting#negativity#megatron stans will look at canonical megatron apologism for 50+ issues straight and go#'this war criminal got sent off to trial as an appropriate response for the crimes he committed. this means the writers/IDW/hasbro hate him#'and also they hate morally gray villains and villain redemption and revolutionaries and oppressed people and minorities and--'#can you stfu like for real#also the whole 'megatron was a revolutionary against oppression so killing him has bad implications' line is so fucking funny to me#bc megatron also oppressed and killed the fuck out of multiple alien civilizations and did colonialism too yknow?#and the decepticons being anti organic imperialists who want to colonize organics for their own ends has been here LITERALLY SINCE G1#they didn't make that shit up just to slander idw megatron specifically lksdfjalksdlkf#all these stans wanna be political so bad and fail to realize their logic of 'you depicted this therefore you endorse it'#could easily be reversed for people to go 'well megatron colonized ppl so if they redeem him it means theyre excusing his crimes'#oh but megatron stans HAAAAATE IT when that logic gets applied to them. they bitch so much about it#the lack of self awareness really is astounding and i cant believe ppl are like this 6+ years after idw1 ended

For real though as someone who has watched both MP100 and Steven Universe I can tell you with relative certainty that the reason SU is so hated is because there were complex women in it. A lot of the guys (gn) that praise MP100 as SUCH a good show that shows the power of MERCY and UNDERSTANDING are literally the same people that shit on SU for being "too pussy to prosecute its villains properly" <- real words from a man I've spoken with about it 🙃
I like both shows and they're actually very similar, which is why it's hysterical to me when people try to rag on SU after having praised MP100 so ardently like,,,,if you're misogynistic just say that lmao
#not tagging fandoms bc this is a personal rant post#grim rants#but still—#a show about a teenage boy growing up trying to get a handle on his strange powers that sometimes go out of control#dealing with his emotions and puberty all while battling monsters and authoritarian groups hellbent on world domination/destruction#'Its Up To You To Save Everyone!'#CRIPPLING GUILT#PTSD#WAR AND VIOLENCE#goofiness inbetween 🥰#MORE VIOLENCE#accepting yourself#helping others accept themselves#copious redemption arcs#even for characters who do NOT deserve it thematically#You Were The Final Boss All Along :)#honest to god even if you dislike su if you like other media with the same tropes as it maYBE DONT GO AFTER THE TROPES??? LMAO#this is specifically aimed at that one guy i was talking ab anime with for a while before we moved on childhood cartoons & he said this shit#also because he said hed never rewatch any of the shows bc They're For Kids#like damn motherfucker so are gushers but guess who has Adult Money to buy them with ʘ‿ʘ

like i implied in the tags and also said in another post. im over fascist forgiveness plot lines. idc how sorry you are atp i feel like when writers go down the "this violent white man participated in, supported, or otherwise justified genocide and destruction but he feels bad now" that's just white writers not actually understanding the level of depravity needed to support that ideology. the level of dehumanization. oh, he feels bad? he regrets his decision? and every single person around him is more than glad to bring him back and wrap their arms around him and pet his head and put his "terrible mistake" behind him? how many of his victims did you name, if any at all?
#ch posts#everyone wants to be fucking. zuko or anakin.#but they'll never be zuko or anakin. EVER.#and anakin's permanently on thin ice for me#yes my being Black 100% informs my opinion on these redemption arcs#because for me every fascist is also a white supremacist irl#and there's no sense trying to separate them.#in US history theyre too close theyre too linked#one doesnt exist without the other#and the Empire was modeled after. well yknow#idk it just gets on my nerves#im more forgiving of lesser crimes but i roll my eyes when it gets to the ''i regret my past im sorry i made a mistake''#its just never enough for me#bad premise!#trite premise! overdone premise! let star wars just kill fascist characters and be done bro#im about to start talking in circles lmao let me leave it here

Up up and away!
I'm so proud of this you don't even know. But in relation to the drawing I think the baby could be any of his children. I'd like to think he would get so excited to show them how to be like him and fly with the hammer, that he forgets his own strength. While he does a good maintaining control over his strength, he still sometimes has accidents...I also think he would have done the same mistake to each child, getting to excited to remember what happened the last time. Good thing even for a big guy that he is, Thor is still quick enough to catch them.
#thor god of war#more thor content#god of war ragnarok#god of war#thor#thor could be a good dad#thor will be a good dad#after redemption arc#not all bad
