Here's the thing about Alfred he's a old English butler and if you don't know anything about English classism then you might just look at that and go "oh how cute old man employee/dad figure" when in actuality you don't become a butler (at least the type Alfred is) without really believing in the class system as to become a butler you have to learn all the arbitrary old English rules about etiquette and really play into all the pompous shit rich people believe in

Tommyinnit could announce "Sorry guys, on further reflection I think I'm just straight" tomorrow and I would support him (questioning is so valid and we respect ppl who even dabble in exploring their identity) but he could never take away the beautiful collective insanity of the last 13 hours through memes and jokes and shitposts and "OH MY GOD????" posts i love you guys and this fucking hilarious community so much <3

Thinking about the fact that as Transformers One progressed, especially once it hit the part where it was revealed that Sentinel was a traitor and that the miners were born with cogs, Elita's and D's personalities kind of swapped.

At first D-16 was fairly supportive or Orion, and Elita-1 was not whatsoever. Both felt like Orion was a fool, but while D would somewhat tolerate what they both viewed as Orion's bullshit, Elita absolutely would not.

But as the story of the movie begins to pick up, and D-16 gets dropped with Orion into Sublevel 50, and Elita-1 unvoluntarily joins them on their quest to find the Matrix, there begin to be subtle changes. In Sublevel 50, D-16 shows some resentment for Orion's actions, but like previous times, then is fine with Orion after things start to look up again. And when Elita joins, though at first she is pissed, we start to see her soften up a bit, particularly once they hit the surface of Iacon.

And once they reach the resting place of the Primes and finally reveal the truth, the switch becomes more obvious. D-16 expresses rage regarding Sentinel Prime towards Orion, blowing up on him, even partially blaming him for them finding out about Sentinel's betrayal and their cogs being stolen. But Elita-1 does the opposite, expressing admiration for Orion's previous bullshit (having had gotten them to the cave in the first place), and even sides with him, more willing to do whatever "out of protocol" move he may make to correct Sentinel's wrongs, and even more so complements his moves with her own, sort of like D did.

And by the end of the movie, their places have fully swapped, with Elita standing by Orion, now Optimus, while D-16, now Megatron, is against them (for political reasons), unlike how it used to be D-16 standing with Orion, while Elita is against them (for job position and protocol reasons).

Also, to summarize in a different way, D-16 loses his love for Orion, which he previously held, while Elita-1 gains her love for Orion, which she previously held none. (Whether or not you interpret both or either relationship as romantic or platonic)

not enough discussion about the gavins' complicated relationship with feminine-coded/beauty products, i don't think.

I'm interested in your thoughts on Illario as the First Talon. Do you think he'd hate the position at first or he'd slot right into it as a natural? Do you think he wants the position just because Lucanis is going to have it or he actually wants it because he thinks he'd be good at it? Always interested in thoughts on him from people who also love him as a character! Especially since Wigmaker gave us so much of him, but so little too.

Illario and Lucanis are both presented to us in the Wigmaker Job as very capable assassins for very different reasons; Illario is charming, cunning, and diplomatic, meaning that he can talk his way in and out of most every situation and has an innate understanding of the politics of a situation, particularly of the Crows. Lucanis is quick on his feet, adaptive, and the more talented fighter, meaning that when it comes to an actual killing, he's going to get the job done.

I don't think Illario would be bad at the role of First Talon--in fact, I agree with the general consensus that he would be good at it, maybe even excel. I think his own evaluation of his own capabilities are accurate and that he has the drive and edge to lead the Crows as an assassin's guild. I don't think he's motivated solely by the fact that Lucanis is going to have it.

It's less about Lucanis 'having' the role of First Talon and more so about the fact that it's being GIVEN to him. It's not really about Lucanis at all in that sense, it's about the oversight from Caterina. It is obvious to everyone that Lucanis is the favorite pick for the role, including Lucanis, and Lucanis doesn't want it. But he won't tell Caterina that, and even if he doesn't say it, he does show it--and Caterina ignores it. A lack of willingness to consider Illario from either of them is what really pushes some of that ambition; when no one considers you, YOU must consider you.

I don't think he'd hate the position; I think he'd do well! I think he would hate what he would have to do to GET the position. We see that in Veilguard; to get what he thinks he wants he has to abandon what he has, and it nearly kills him. Lucanis and Illario and Caterina are all that the other has; Illario grieves that Lucanis didn't die and was tortured, Lucanis can't bring himself to kill Illario only maybe imprison him, and Caterina absolves the responsibility of deciding his fate onto Lucanis.

It would be a lonely outcome for Illario but I do think he meant it in the Wigmaker Job when he tells Lucanis that if he were First Talon, he wouldn't have to do "this" anymore; the Crows, the politicking. Maybe Lucanis would be free to do that whole freedom-fighter hero thing he's always trying to emulate. But they're both under Caterina's thumb, and until she's gone, we won't know.

do y'all ever think about the fact that Wylan literally bet Kaz money that Jan wouldn't care if he died, and then went, "Pay up, Kaz." after Jan blew up the ship?? i love him so much he's such a smartass.

also i think about Wylan saying "Maybe you can pray to Ghezen for understanding, Father," when Jan was confused about the whole Kuwei situation about fifteen times a day. it's genuinely one of my favorite Wylan quotes like yes get his ass‼️‼️

He chuckles low at my confusion. "You think I don't recognize my own casting or sense its absence?" He leans close to whisper in my ear. "I can feel them, Briana. The Oaths I've cast." His eyes drift across my face and throat. "And I don't feel any of me... on you."
