There’s something about Cybertronian feelings the same emotions that humans do that hits hard.
There’s such drastic differences between Cybertronian kind and human kind. Size is one, biology is another. Cybertronians can do so many more things that humans can’t, and I’m certain you could say the same thing for humans.
But despite the differences in the two species, there are also such strong similarities.
They both built societies, have social hierarchies, cultures, etc.
And even if it is less normalized for Cybertronian kind in some cases, they can also feel the same range of emotions that humans can.
So imagine a human with a bot they barely know yet. They’re completely unaware of how similar they are despite being two vastly different alien species. The bot is sat high above, the human slowly and cautiously approaching their legs as they come closer to investigate a strange sound they heard from this direction. Surely it couldn’t have been the bot making that sound, right? Because it sounded way too much like—
Then, the human looks up to the bot’s face, and sees they’re crying.
Streams of lubricant are rolling down their cheeks, their face contorted and wrinkled into distress. The bot wasn’t even trying to hold it in at this point, who knows how long they were going for by now. Soft little hiccups stumble through their voice box, their whole frame shaking and quivering as the futilely wipe at the endless flow of lubricant pouring down their optics.
The human is shocked. They had no idea these robots could feel sad, much less cry. They felt like they had just invaded a very private moment…
And yet, rather than try to sneak away, the human hesitantly reaches a hand out to the mech’s pede. Slowly, they place their hand atop it, gently rubbing and trying to reassure the big bot as much as they could with their comparatively tiny body.
The bot is startled, looking around in a panic and quickly raising their pedes, only to finally bring their gaze downwards and lock eyes with the human.

A theory I have for the upcoming show The Amazing Digital Circus is that the characters take the specific forms they take because it’s a reflection of their fears
I’ve seen a few theories on this so far floating about but I’ve decided to elaborate on it a bit more
For Pomni, it would be the fear of clowns. Ragatha? The fear of dolls. Fear of rabbits (or animals) for Jax.
I think Zooble may potentially have had a fear of things being out of place..? In their character introduction, they are shown to be frustrated that two of their pieces are misplaced.
The ones I’m less sure about are Gangle and Kinger.
For Kinger, it could be more of a representation. In chess, the king piece is arguably the weakest but also the most important. Perhaps he is afraid of being weak? Maybe his form has nothing to do with his fear. I have further theories that I may make another post speculating later
Finally, Gangle could have a fear of confronting her negative emotions thus trying to hide behind a happy face. I’m not sure why the ribbon though
Idk this is just my stupid ass analyzing shit but I’m really excited for this show, it looks fun!

Me watching the first 10 minutes of Dead Boy Detectives: WTF is even going on!? 🤨
Also me: *Binges the whole season in one go*
Okay, it may have taken a couple of eps but this show and all of those kids have really grown on me and I would love to see more. So it's definitely getting axed after one season right? 😩

I think Liliana's "Did she know?" wasn't about her, it was, "Did Imogen know that bombing me would also kill these children?"
Hey remember that time Imogen leveled a city block? Are you sure Liliana didn't just go boom herself?
Also we don't even know who's dead, including these "children" (the youngest of whom would be about 16 and are soldiers for an occupying force), so you're making a lot of assumptions there buddy
Maybe Liliana just got big mad that a group of people tried to kill her ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
