I have to check but like? Nana said to Orym that his jobs not over yet?? Which means letters death DID get him out of the deal???
Because if she counted their lunar interlude as "everyone made it back" then he wouldn't have his powers still, right?
But if everyone making it back extends till the end of the mission, then Nana already faulted on her end of the bargain. Not everyone made it back. Letters literally died on the moon.
Idk I think Nana is going to say something along the lines of "normally I would have ended our little deal when you all stepped foot back on exandria. In that spooky little town in Eiselcross. But since you're such good friends with my fearne, consider it, the friends and family discount"

i'm never gonna get over optimus refusing to put the rescue bots in the war. like fuck man THATS love. he cared so much he couldn't tell anyone about them. he contacted them in secret, took care of them, visited them, presumably fed them, gave them advice, and the entire time he did it in secret. he couldn't let them get hurt because of the conflict.
and i think, while this is really sweet, it's also a really good way to see into optimus' character and to observe his morality. how nice can it be if he's part of the reason they're the last ones left? how much can he help if he's never around? how much can he care if he's lying to everyone around him so that they don't find out?
the rescue bots are a very physical, unavoidable reminder of his failings. we all know optimus has a very deep sense of grief at the war, especially towards megatron. they were very close, and he feels like he failed somehow. at least with megatron, they're enemies. optimus can justify their conflict, because megatron has done terrible things. but the thing is, so has he.
the rescue bots can't be ignored. he has to directly confront his crimes because of them, because he feels an obligation to repent. his war is the reason they're in that position in the first place. the only way optimus can live with himself is to help them. and sure, he does actually grow to care about them as individuals, instead of just what they represent, but still. how can you trust someone who only sees you for what you mean for them, not what you actually are? and for optimus, how can you care about people who represent everything you've ever done wrong?
the relationships in rescue bots are highly nuanced, and this is no exception. i mean, the moral implications of the rescue bots' whole situation are enough to make a philosopher cry! (or jump for joy it depends). like, how do you justify hiding their identities while making them do literal life or death work when they have no choice to be there, are receiving no compensation, and aren't enjoying it? is that really better than being part of the war? at least there, you know you had a role in the chaos. at least you understand it.
i mean optimus himself said in the first episode that because they're the last rescue bots, they HAVE to help. he didn't give them a choice, because he wants to preserve them. and while that's a nice sentiment, he's focused on what they mean for their species, instead of who they are and what they want. right after they're told they don't have a choice, they're told that also, they have to pretend to not be sentient and have to partner and live with these random people from a different species that they know nothing about. that's, at best, a morally iffy situation.
i think we should talk more about a morally grey optimus, who keeps trying to help, but tends to misplace his sentiments. because it's clear he's trying to do the right things for everyone, but the whole thing is such a jumbled mess! for the past four million years, there's always been an enemy to fight. but here, that isn't a thing. there's no overlord trying to harm the rescue bots, there's no violence, no one is being malicious. the situation is because of a war they had no part in, and a conflict they have no place in.
i wanna see more rescue bots being upset because of that. their situation might have gotten better, and they might have learned to enjoy it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a shitty place to put them in. and they understand that optimus really does love them, and that's why he made the choices he did, but that doesn't erase all of their hurt. they had to live as machines, only operating under orders, having others steal the credit, not getting paid, and that's only from the humans! other cybertronians don't even know they exist! that's fucked up!!
there isn't really a message or moral for this post. i just like analyzing the reasons and motivations of characters, as well as their morality.

but no fr my favorite thing was writing texts in comic sans to make people cringe while reading them(I used to submit essays on comic sans)
During the first year of the Pandemic since we had a ton of simple middle school assignments to do I would have fun w then by using colored text and messing w fonts, it was awesome and I should have done it more

ALSO last night this fucken nugget on the barrier was like filming right up in the artist's face apparently with his fucking phone torch turned on??? rude ass mf anyway like three times Seth pushed this guy's phone down out of his face which like absolutely fair enough that man is on stage trying to do his job stop shoving your phone in his space and shining a torch directly in his eyes??? and then later Seth like straight up called him out like "this cunt in the front keeps shining this light in my face and I've tried to subtly push his phone away but he just hasn't got the hint" and literally the whole room laughed at this asshole which he deserved but i guess there's no shame among assholes because he Continued to do it anyway point of the story is later in the set Seth got so sick of this idiots shit that he took the phone out of his hand and put it in his shirt pocket for the whole rest of the song and i can't stop thinking about how balla that is, footage pointless sound quality almost certainly disgusting and useless. he gave the guy his phone back at the end of the song but honestly i feel like he would have been completely justified and well within rights to just keep it. like fuck you. take a hint. take a direct call out. don't be a rude bitch. nobody owes you having their space violated that way

I'm gritting my teeth and sweating and looking at my one 'get out of jail free' card I get every five years to do something undoubtedly problematic and I'm like shaking and there's a picture of Harry du Bois painted like juggalo paint across my face and I'm like experiencing lung collapse and

Starfish is turning FOUR on Tuesday(where has the time gone?!?!?!) and I was all proud of myself bc I found a cute construction truck book to give her, since she’s obsessed with cars right now.
Sent a picture of it to Mom and she’s almost positive she already has it. 🙃

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:
Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more
Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock
Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.
Have a little glass of wine
Take as long as you feel like for lunch
Deeply understand that work doesn't matter
Make sure your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️
