#or well the implication of them

Imagining a situation where a bunch of rumors are flying about Optimus seeing someone and Megatron gets VERY SUPER jealous about this mystery mech that Optimus is surely dating when he could be dating Megatron instead

Spoiler alert: Optimus isn't seeing someone else at the moment, as he thinks the mech he's attracted to hates him

It's Megatron. Optimus has a thing for Megatron, and Megatron has a thing for Optimus

If only they can get that mutual attraction coordinated—

Wonder what it's like to feel grass under your feet for the first time in your life. Wonder how it feels knowing you'll be the one to destroy it.

Remember this post where I talked about how funny Host!Vic’s gender neutrality is? Well now it’s even funnier because this episode seemingly confirmed something I have suspected to be true for a while now, which is that fictional Vic Michealis SOMEHOW DIDNT REALISE THEYRE BI?????

> covid shares significant parallels with HIV, (depletes immune system, but while HIV targets t cells, covid can target most cells in the human body and while hiv targets nuclei, covid targets mitochondria) but with the additional trait of being airborne

> can affect virtually every system/organ of the body, including heart/lungs and brain (even with a mild case) and is also cancer causing/accelerant

> has a viral persistance (how long it remains in the body) of at least a year throughout the body, including the brain, even after death .

> multiple infections may happen yearly since there are little to no precautions, meaning not enough time or treatment is given to clear viral load. also means that it is being allowed to consistently evolve.

> disability rates in the US have jumped by 40% since 2020

> can literally cause a new form of AIDS

> virtually all precautions have been dropped since 2022, peak infection rates (according to wastewater data) were in jan 2022

> risk of long covid/damage from covid compounds with each infection

> over half of all covid infections are asymptomatic, most people will not know how many infections they've had because cheap/free consistent testing is not widely available

> treatment often expensive/doctors do not take long covid seriously and/or are uneducation on it and its treatment, meaning most will go without treatment that acknowledges the root cause

> if left untreated, HIV will nearly always progress to AIDS , and chronic HIV usually progresses to AIDS in 5-10 years (may be faster in some people)

it's been 5 years since it's onset in late 2019/early 2020, and 3 years since 2022. it's becoming more and more apparent that more and more people are unwell and i am genuinely terrified at what the very near future will look like, especially when the overwhelming culture is still so resistent to acknowledging covid.

I think a lot about Leo standing up for his brothers in the things that really matter to them.

Like- Leo is the one who immediately pushes Mikey and Donnie into finding Raph the second it’s clear that their oldest brother is missing because he knows Raph can’t handle being separated like that.

Leo is the one who stands up for Mikey when Mikey wants to go on a solo mission, actively vouching for him and being the one to convince Raph into letting Mikey go, because being independent and proving himself just as capable of standing on his own two feet as everyone else means so much to Mikey.

And Leo defends Donnie’s honor in particular when his brothers’ intelligence is insulted because Leo is well aware of how important Donnie’s smarts are to him - and how important having those smarts valued and acknowledged is as well.

All this goes right into just how well Leo knows his brothers. For as much as he’ll tease or fight with them, he knows them, and he loves them.

Tuvok is not as autistic coded in-narrative compared to what I've seen of Spock or T'Pol where they're othered heavily by those around them and have themes and arcs about struggling/striving to fit in BUT I do think he provides the vital autistic representation of not really angsting about your differences from other people because you're too busy and unaware and then even when you ARE made aware you mostly just think 'glad that's not me'. I think it's vital to have that sort of totally unbothered rep. I love that Tuvok is completely satisfied and proud of being Vulcan, doesn't long to experience emotion or struggle with a desire to express himself in a way his crewmates will understand, to be closer to them. I love that he has a long time and close friend that respects who he is and doesn't try to change him and that how close they are isn't framed as being in spite of his Vulcan nature. I love that being Vulcan isn't framed as a hindrance to him, like a roadblock to living a full and rich life. He has a wife and four kids and is a devoted husband and father. He's getting into gay horror scenarios. Tuvok was born on autism planet and he's thriving.

I still can’t believe marvel had Steve tell Natasha he could only really see himself with someone with ‘shared life experience’ (5 seconds after they literally kissed) and then had the two of them practically glued together for literal years (in this movie and in every other movie after it), only to not even seem to consider them as a potential couple/love story

[dreadark]

that ivan loves till is the most obvious thing about them

but. does ivan know that…?

the ivan that regards his own feelings as shallow, the ivan that learned how emotions are expressed only from copying others… does he even know that the love he’s felt for so long is love? probably not. and part of the reason is the one he loves himself

because the easiest example he has of love is till's feelings to mizi. till outright calls it love, and ivan watches him so much he has to be aware of this and till’s love to mizi is totally unselfish, right. he doesn’t seem to actually want much from her—just that she's still there and still "mizi"

but ivan can't be satisfied with just watching he… wants. ivan wants till’s attention, till’s affection—

surely this selfish wanting can’t be love

...no wonder he was never able to express his feelings straightforwardly when he belittles them so much but he can’t stand not having anything either, so he does… whatever he does instead to get any scraps of attention he can, from someone he's convinced doesn't care about him at all only showing affection when till can't see it, right until he knows he's going to die

but ivan's feelings for till are all he still has of himself... to think of them as shallow...

I've seen this translated as "I should've been kinder" to him (till) or to her (sua)

but really, the one he should've been kinder to was himself

Absolutely love how Cloud spends the second half of this quest messing with Tifa.

Like he clearly keeps bringing up Fluffy’s name because it’s funny to him and he knows Tifa doesn’t like it. He’s teasing her. Then he nominates Tifa to play the piano for strangers, and he’s not even expecting her to perform well lmao

He’s so funny for this. He’s the reason she’s in this position.

This is literally what Cloud says if you play the piano decently as Tifa:

He’s having a grand ol time teasing her. I love it

The fact Rushal was a captain keeps me up at night sometimes.

Did all of his men die in battle at Istvan and that’s why he decided it wasn’t worth it anymore and defected? Was watching the people he was supposed to lead through danger die the final straw that made him consider if the Imperium was really worth fighting for? How long did he defend their bodies before he was realised no one was coming to recover them? Did he take their corvia to remember them by? Did he get to keep them?

Or did some of them survive and never really got an answer to what happened to their Captain Rushal, one day were they quietly split up into separate units without so much of an explanation and even now whenever they get the chance to talk it feels like they’re being watched? How long did it take for one of them to go digging and realise it was for the best they were never told? Do they want revenge on their traitorous captain? Or do they believe that he was taken and hold onto hope he could be rescued one day?

ALSO also because this just occurred to me and made me emotional…thinking about the parallels between dr mensah and iris…both realizing murderbot was nearby and beginning to hope they could be rescued��..murderbot as a source of faith and confidence for its friends and it has no idea………..
