There are some characters where giving them therapy and cleaning them up is the fanfiction equivalent of buying antique furniture and painting it white
#idw whirl#to a different degree chromedome as well#I love the idea of whirl healing and getting better but also. Lads.#he is Never gonna be a therapy girlie#let the chaotic murder bird live his life in peace and heal in his own odd ways

Additional IDW: Megatron is part of the disenfranchised working class (v simplified terms, there's lots of racism too) and is a miner/poet/written revolutionary who turns into a gladiator when circumstances push too hard. OP is a cop who agrees the system needs to be changed and comes to Megs' defense on multiple occasions. They disagree about the way to change the system, Megan chooses violence, and a four million year civil war ensues with them leading opposing factions. Then Megs defects after the war leading to the angst mentioned above.
we need more divorcebaiting. how strongly can canon imply (without technically outright stating) that these two characters are bitterly, acrimoniously divorced? essential we explore this
#idw1#maccaddam#to answer your question gaud: it might be easier to ask what *isn't* going on with optimus prime#megop#boombox noises intensify

character is too embarrassed to admit they love someone romantically: eh, whatever. it's societally normalized to be shy and overwhelmed about that
character is too embarrassed to admit they love someone platonically: ohhoho NOW we're talking! that's a motherfucker with a capital-C Complex right there. delicious

at that point it's no longer about the cause isn't it? it's about how he betrayed you. he molded you into this, and discard your entire being as if you were never there. he thought a few words can make it right. he's wrong, and you are the proof for that. it's not something he can hand waved. it's something he has to confront.

the fact that it was mentioned in the comic that optimus slice through megatron's cannon in their "first meeting" as an enemy, and in the movie optimus and megatron did just that; a re-introduction to their new identity. the details in this movie is insane.

hot single dad in your area
#listen.#Idk what to say here#but the phrasing just gives me the vague implication that soundwave is the opposite of genocide sans#and im fascinated by the thought of what this scale might look like#soundwave: superior

the djd had to take over marketing when the decepticon social media manager betrayed them.
#idw1#djd#i'd ask if soundwave would be the con's social media manager#but i think even the djd would struggle to find a way to justify claiming a betrayal from soundwave/putting him on the list

Weapon idea: a retro-causality pistol, loaded with bullets made of justification. When you fire it at someone, it changes history to provide a reason for you to have shot them.
Finally, you’ve killed the man who murdered your wife. But was she dead before you pulled the trigger? You will never know.
#listen. the writing is fun but may i just say#'gun that gives you a reason to use it' is some brainstorm ass shit if ever there was some#if that gun doesn't exist by now you know he'd see this post and make it a priority#tf adjacent#idw brainstorm#elegant chaos but in reverse#rewind shoots megatron's spark and suddenly 4 million years of civil war just dropped#can you imagine the awkwardness

When you only read mtmte and wonder why everyone hates megatron vs when you get reminded of what he did in the other comics
#mtmte#idw1#idw megatron#yup#it's a lot easier to swallow his struggle to come to terms with/attempt to make up for his shit when you're like#Not actively watching him abuse Starscream or try to murder entire populaces or successfully murder entire populaces#Or cyberform planets or approve death camps or authorise the djd#don't get me wrong i fucking *adore* megan's arc#but like.#getaway and the other deserters have a very valid reason for why the apparent 'slap on the wrist' nature of his sentencing pissed them off#i'd be pissed off too but it's a lot easier to shift that off when you're reading the story#vs the characters experiencing it who don't give a fuck abt the narrative weight of attempted redemption#and who just want their fucking friends back

it's always funny to me how everyone responded to rewind question "are you happy?" in the most depressing way




and then there's chromedom ..

#idw1#mtmte#little victories#this will never not fuck me up#one of the best things abt mtmte is how it shows off the enormity of this shared cultural trauma#and how it truly impacts *everyone*#four million years of fighting and nobody really knows how to conceptualise or identify happiness anymore#bc for so long it's just been surviving#and now here they are at the other end having to learn to live again#god i love this series.
