#sklfghkslhdfg I'm sorry for the pure nonsense this devolved into

[bougiebutchbitch]

Arcee or Knock Out for the ask meme? :3c

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

Gonna answer for my best girl, my blue lady, motorcycle queen of my heart -

Why I like them

Sharp and smart and spiky and smol (but also very big; I'd say 'please step on me ma'am' but she'd crush me)!!

She has Big WLW Vibes (I know she only really has f/f tension with her mortal enemy..... sssh...... sometimes it be like that......)!!!

She loves her friends SO MUCH, and she’s a good person on the whole! But she is still allowed to have believable flaws and moments where she lets her anger and desire for vengeance overrule her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why I don’t

She's treated a little bit as The Killjoy sometimes? Which is suuuuch an overdone female character stereotype. Miko balances that out, to a degree, and it helps that Ratchet's a far bigger killjoy! But I've seen too many female characters (or female-coded giant alien robots) dumped into the caretaker-y, overly-responsible 'mum' role when they’re not the main focus of a particular storyline (SIDE-EYES MARVEL). Especially in scenarios when the girls are by far outnumbered by the boys on the squad, it gets a bit wearing.

Favorite episode (scene if movie)

YOU CAN'T ASK ME THIIIIIIIIS

I absolutely love every fight she has with Airachnid. When she loses her shit, to an even greater degree than when she goes up against Starscream, and all that repressed pain and fury bubbles up to the surface..... dang. Love That For Her!

The scene where Arcee rescued Jack and June from the top of the tower is one that really sticks in my head!

Favorite season/movie

hhhhhh I'm gonna say Season 1, because she maybe got a bit more character development there?

Favorite line

“How many more times do we have to save our world?” T.T

OR for a lighter hearted one: “Haven’t you heard? Humans multiply.”

Favorite outfit

.......................................................wax 'n' polish (no but imagine her in a tux)

OTP

Listen. My Prime Arcee ships are either vicious, mutual respect/loathing-fuelled Airachnid/Arcee, or epic femdomme Starcee... She deserves better than either, but I didn't learn enough about her and Cliff to really ship it, so I guess I only have OTPs in the sense of 'this is an interesting conflict-riddled dynamic and I really think they should fuck about it'.

....June/Arcee??????? Maybe???? I've never read it, but I want it.

Brotp

JACK AND ARCEEEEEEEEEE maaaaan they kill me. it's all about :clenches fist: that platonic partner bond.

Head Canon

She's the best drinker out of the entire cast. She could drink Megatron under the table. Yes, it's completely ridiculous, given her size - but ssssssh

Unpopular opinion

I don't know if this is 'unpopular', but I hate-hate-hate fic that demonises Arcee just to make Starscream seem more woobie. Power to you if you enjoy writing it, but it ain't for me.

A wish

That she and Jack stay together for the remainder of Jack's lifespan T.T

That she gets to just live happily and peacefully with her partner and know she's done her job of protecting him, and that he's gonna be okay.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen

JACK DYING IN FRONT OF HER (of unnatural causes)

NEVER LET HER LOSE ANOTHER PARTNER TO VIOLENCE

NEVER AGAIN YOU HEAR ME

5 words to best describe them

Kind, cool, efficient, stubborn, loyal

My nickname for them

ARSE-see, daaaaang gurl
