Wanna Put This Here For Later, I Like This Wip A LOT

technically we’re ALL, always LARPing, because the Self is only a construct,

fr! It feels like in many continuities Starscream isn't even considered a character, but rather a foil for Megatron/ a plot device, and his perspective/point of view isn't considered beyond his signature "betray Megatron and lead the Decepticons" role. Megatron has abused him constantly, tore him down physically and MENTALLY, broken him and ripped him to shreds, and both fandom and the CANON ITSELF ignore all that by either "making him as bad" or glorifying it.

Honestly, it's a shame considering Starscream is such an interesting, complex character with MANY different ways to take his story/personality, but they're always wasted so Megatron or some other Important Character can shine, and that's such a huge detriment to Starscream entirely.

Starscream is the literal textbook definition of Character Asassination, ESPECIALLY in ES. He literally felt like a walking plot device to me in that show.

RANT!

Never thought that i would ever rant on here but someone has to say something.

See these Comments here?

They honestly disgust me, people glorifying Starscream's abuse or romanticizing his Relationship to Megatron are honestly the nastiest people i know.

Just imagine if they were real people for a moment, would People still ship and find it "hot" when Megatron beats Starscream to near death? If yes then wtf is wrong with you.

The People who romantizice them being together is just as bad if not worse. Megatron is litteraly a crazy Warlord seeking only revenge against Optimus no matter the cost, he mostly just beats Starscream to set an asample to not disobey him, everyone else in the Show (TFP) also thinks that its "funny" that Starscream gets beaten to near Death.

And honestly? Wtf do these Writers think while creating those scenes?? People litteraly glorify abuse and have no sense of Empathy. Yet if anyother Characters os wronged or dies people are sad and say they didnt deserve it. As a Person who has been through similar stuff in the Past this is Sickeing.

And the Fact that "Megastar or MegaOP" are one of the most popular ships in this whole Fandom is another thing of itself.

I'm honestly mad, since Starscream is one of the most loved and hated Characters in this whole Community, but i feel like some people only like him because of his supposed "cute/hot" realtionship to Megatron. Or how they sexualize him in general, he isnt this "cutsie uwu bottom femboy"...

Or people from the ES Community raging at Starscream to just "forgive" Megatron and not be a drama queen, or that he doesnt deserve Peace. I already hate ES as it is but this continues Starscream hate and or sexualizing is honestly disgusting.

And i dont know why people never speak up about it, and IF they say something then they are mostly the biggest Megastar Defenders to exist, i honestly dont know how any sane person can think this is "Hot".

People do anything to make their Ships ok, and once you notice the lenghts they go to make it ok you notice just how fucked up they really are.

I cant even scroll my for you page on here anymore because i mostly have these supposed "Adults" here glorifying the sexualizing or Abuse.

Might get hate for this Rant but honestly, i couldnt give less of a fuck. Someone had to say something eventually.

happy last same year as it was yesterday 2024 tuesday

todays the only/last day you can reblog this lol

time travel huh

tw: eye contact, bright lights

why do I always feel

Like someone's watching me?

Kind of hard to believe there was once a time where a legitimate genre of post was "my mom says if this gets 2k notes she'll buy me a doughnut" and everyone would just. go ham

Coming into a fandom late

yes.

just... yes.

I don't want a romantic partner I want friends who will go dumpster diving with me, I want neighbors who will knock on my door and ask for butter because they forgot to buy some and it's sunday. I want book shelves in public spaces, food banks and shared tool sheds and community gardens. I want to trade home grown tomatoes for a couple of eggs with my neighbor and I want to bring food over to my friends house when I've cooked too much. I want bicycle only streets and I want people to go on spontaneous walks with. I want people to ask me for help when they need it and I want to be able to ask for help in return. I want community as a safety net. I want people to stop focusing on the vague concept of the one, who will Cure All Isolation and Loneliness. I want every single person to be able to find support and comfort around them, regardless of their relationship status.

The draft cover of a horror/fluff zine I'm working on :)

Nothing concrete, though I hope to finish by the end of the month! Will post once finished if anyone's interested in the updates :)

Revisted Sturm's coloured reference sheet and gave it some mini tweaks in the face/body shape department.
