[ Azula trying to distract a guard. ]

Azula: Ha! It’s me! Your vile villainess! The author of your nightmares! The dread of your-

Guard: Who are you?

Azula: Uhhhh…Princess Azula.

Guard: You expect me to believe Princess Azula has hair like that?

Azula: I was going through a rough patch, okay?!

Guard: I can tell. It looks like a five year old cut your hair.

[ Zirin knocks out the guard. ]

Zirin: Let’s go!

Azula: I am Azula!

Prowl: What happened to her is not your fault.

Optimus: When we were sparklings, me, Sentinel, and Elita used to share a berth like this, except maybe half the size. We played a game where we pretended to be bigger and bigger monsters. One of them would say "I'm a slug monster with acid fangs", and I would say "Well, I'm a slug monster with Dark Energon spikes".

Optimus: Sometimes, I get carried away and they get scared. I didn't want them to start crying and wake Ultra Magnus up, so... I pretended to chase my own monsters away. I'd say "No monster is gonna get you when I'm here". Then a real monster showed up, and I just ran away. I left her.

(Prowl caresses Optimus' face while they both lay on a berth.)

these two gifs are absolutely crazy . like i know hes just grabbing his bracer from viktor in the first one but god. the way his hand slides against viktors fingertips and jayces fingers brush against the SAME spot on viktors palm.

and the way in both of them but ESPECIALLY the second one, viktors fingers curl up slightly to cup and slide against jayces hand. the way viktor's hand lingers for half a beat longer.

thes boys are both so touch starved AND ITS THE FIRST NIGHT THEYVE MET!!!!!

Ao Guang & Ao Bing's relationship

I watched a video by schnee that talks about how Arcane writes family, and one quote stood out to me:

"[Jinx]'s not some symbol of Zaun, she's mentally ill."

Then the second quote that hit me:

"Jinx is a much more potent weapon than anything from the factories, anything from the labs. "Screw the shipments she messes up. This is your weapon, Zaun. This is the perfect monster."

Switch out "Jinx" for "Ao Bing", and "Zaun" for "Dragon Clan".

"Ao Bing's not some symbol of the Dragon Clan, he's mentally ill."

"This is your weapon. This is the perfect monster."

I did a little deep dive into how Ao Bing's upbringing might have impacted his mental health here.

Ozai, having a drink: Zuko! Would you like-

Zuko: *slaps the wineglass out of his hand*

Zuko to the servants: Leave!

Servants: !!!

Ozai: *dismisses them*

Zuko, once they're alone: Stay away from Katara!

Ozai: You really are fond of her.

Zuko: Better yet, march back to your ships and get the hell out of my city!

Ozai: Get hold of yourself. I taught you better. *continues eating*

Zuko: *glares at him*

Ozai: You're in trouble, Zuko. The man who killed your sister doesn't believe the score is settled. And his forces exceed ours. If there's a chance the Avatar State can be weaponized, then we must have it.

Zuko: Republic City isn't your testing ground!

Ozai: I only accelerated a process you've already started.

Zuko: I wanted to protect the city from people like you! I can't believe you would start a war just to cover your ass!

Ozai: I would set the world ablaze to protect OUR family.

Zuko: *scoffs* I stopped being a part of this family the moment you casted me out!

Zuko, tearing up: Why? Why did you do it?

Ozai: BECAUSE YOU WEAKENED ME!

Zuko: ?!

Ozai: I couldn't endure the look in your eyes whenever I made the decisions - the necessary decisions - to keep us safe!

Zuko:

Ozai: We need that weapon, Zuko. Let the war unfold then come home and take your place by my side. It's where you belong.
