THIS IS AN ASK ABOUT THE EM FIELDS, TELL ME EVERYTHING

EM FIELDS are the basis of which a sparkling learns and develops social skills.

Cybertronians are extremely social. The point of their existence is ultimately to be cradled.

Sparklings are ESPECIALLY in tune to EM fields from the moment they’re sparked. The way their carrier’s EM field interacts with others and responds to their environment is integral to their emotional and intellectual development. It is also how sparklings come to identify their sire’s EM field beyond the bond.

The sparkling lives for the entirety of its gestation within the field of its carrier. It goes blind to it at one point (like being unable to see New York City while standing in Manhatten), and grows especially attached to the sire’s EM field, which it has come to know and recognize as one that is highly favored; WE love this field, WE adore it, WE are always happy to see it, WE need this field (to care for us and ensure our survival).

In a way, a sparkling learns to love its sire by how much its carrier loves its sire.

Post-Emergence, sparklings tend to favor their sire because their EM field is their favorite.

(The significance of a sire’s EM field also, ironically, makes them the easiest to replace in terms of sparkling-rearing.)

As for how i was drawing it, it was just to represent the change in emotions (smooth rings for calm or neutral, spiky blobs for Not Calm or Not Neutral)

So i've been playing through Hades 2 recently and, unless i'm just going insane, I'm fairly sure that in the later game (or in Hades 3) that we're going to fight against the gods in some capacity?

We have Nemesis, saying that the gods might deserve all of this happening to them, and that Prometheus didn't deserve his punishment; We have Moros talking about how he has ended the lives of mortals in interesting ways for entertainment; We have Heracles, who freed Prometheus, and who has been very screwed over by the gods in the past; In the previous game we had Sisyphus, happy; We have Arachne, whose story (and the amount she deserved her punishment) varies but still got fucked over; (Pan)Dora, where the last remaining item in her jar (box) was hope, sometimes seen too as a curse, the gods giving meaningless mortals hope in their lives; We have Athena talking about how compromise is failure and will only start more conflict; other olympians talking about flooding the earth or punishing mortals for siding with Chronos;

and finally, we have Prometheus, who is the most interesting character in the entire game;

Prometheus, the titan, is best known for three things:

He created the first humans out of clay (sometimes Hephaestus is credited with this)

He stole fire from the gods and gave it to mankind (which is why he is often considered the god of fire)

Liver. Bird. Liver. Bird. Liver. Bird [...]

Prometheus in Hades 2 is the god (titans and gods are virtually the same don't worry about it) of Foresight (due to his name being typically understood as to mean "Foresight" in contrast to his brother's meaning "Hindsight" or "Afterthought"), freed from the mountain by someone and who now fights against Olympus. Note that it was Heracles who freed him in the legends, and Heracles is a character who appears in game.

Prometheus clearly cares for humanity over all else, being their creator, and thus the source of their suffering.

The most interesting lines from Prometheus in the game are those regarding the future, after all he is the titan of foresight, specifically to do with mortals and the gods. Most notably, the recurring line:

Agent of Change.

Come then, Agent of Change, and show me what I know you can do!"

If you could see what i've forseen, you'd not believe it anyhow

(on death):

All... according... to plan...

Prometheus :  "I could only... do my part..." [Melinoë : "Silence. Save your troubles for your master Chronos."] "It's not my troubles that I mean to save... Agent of Change..."

If suffering today brings a better tomorrow, so be it

and the most important line, the one that explains his persistence (in my eyes):

Gods could learn something from mortals, you know. For all their many failings, they have an admirable tendency to cling to hope; a certain quality we deathless often lack [Melinoë: Hope can be the salve for the naive. So many mortals hope they'll never die; a feeling born of delusion and fear] Yes! Mortals live short, painful lives. And even still they strive for something greater than they mostly can achieve. I fight for them! You gods only fight for yourselves

While there is all likelihood that my own foresight is flawed in this regard; all of this being simply a reference to the last curse of hope that remains in Pandora's Jar, I choose to see it that this is what Prometheus has learned through his years:

He fights for mortals, he suffers and dies as they do time and time again to strive for what is greater than himself, he clings to the hope that Melinoë will finally break this cycle and free humanity.

[careful-fear]

in desperate need of relationships that blur the line between romantic and platonic and are fundamentally neither. they don't conform, they have no label, they are whatever they deem themselves to be, and that's important.

i had a glass of wine so now im speaking quite loosely but. it is both a little inspiring and makes me achingly sad that people can believe in a current world where TWO main male leads of an immensely popular network drama can have a coming out arc. especially within one season of another.

in a perfect world yes that would happen. but i am so sorry the coiffed fat cat execs know the importance of a straight bachelor main. they just do. people need to focus less on what makes “narrative sense” and more about “we are functioning within a very precise and mass appeal-based industry that only cares about money”

[saucerfulofsins]

I love that the Buck SUCKS(!!!!) at dating narrative and isnt just (un)intentionally inattentive but also (un)intentionally offensive now runs concurrently to Buck being confirmed the best partner possible to his (reads notes) heterosexual best friend whose house he sublets (heterosexually!) with whom he is definitely NOT in love nor coparenting.

And then Eddie says "appreciate you" in the straightest way he can.
