Hi! I don't usually post anything here (yet) but I'm more active on ao3 and Instagram. I write, make art, and yap about transformers mostly!!

Feel free to ask anything because this blog is mostly for finding some new people in the fandom (and also get used to interacting with people b/c I rarely utilize Tumblr) 😛😛

Duality of Rodimus

I'm making up for making him cry by making him freaknasty

Oh Rodimus... what are we gonna do with you??

First of all the opening lines are "It's easy come, easy go, laugh it off" like that's LITERALLY rodimus for obvious reasons like this guy is the KING of acting like his problems aren't as bad as they actually are

And then the next bit: "let's make a baby (no!) Let's get a puppy (no!) Do you like to daydream? (No!) We should have a party" It so clearly resembles rodimus. From a rodimus-lens, it sounds like his impulsive thoughts and trying to find/make a distraction from his worries and ESPECIALLY the "let's have a party" is like oughhh roddy I BET you'd want to have a party, where else can you get drunk and dance until you forget what you were so upset about in the first place

"Oh my god, you're so needy; I love it, do you love me?" I interpret this as roddy wanting to feel needed and useful and like he's actually making an impact as a leader. Like if the people around him need his help then he's doing great! If they don't need his help, then clearly he's not made himself useful enough and I think this is where he starts y'know doing impulsive stuff that may or may not cause more harm than good (maybe harm to himself... oooh themes and such). My boy just needs to feel important

"Maybe we should run away" GOD. YES. SOO RODIMUS CODED.

"Oh my god, you're so clucky; I love you, do you love me?" Ok so clucky apparently means broody and yk who is broody? MEGS. this is screaming megarod. This is them.

"It's not you it's me my dear" ohhh rodimus my self-blaming queen, but its not like "everything is my fault" its like "I can't let the people im in charge of feel upset cuz of whatever" so in this case. Megarod. Roddy refuses to let Megatron be unhappy (whether or not his methods are successful is. Up to debate) so he decides the problem is clearly himself and can't possible be Megatron (I'm kind of projecting onto This Place is Made for Fools (and I'm Seeking Solace) at this point but you see it right)

"Talk to god; he didn't want me" NYON. NYON. NYON. THE FACT THAT NYON WAS A PRETTY RELIGIOUS CITY AND PRIMUS DIDNT HELP THEM IN THEIR TIME OF NEED AND HOT ROD WAS THE ONE WHO DUG THE MATRIX OUT OF THE RUBBLE OF ACROPLEX (or something. I'm gonna be so honest I can't remember the details of how Autocracy went down but I wouldn't be surprised if Rodimus has a complicated relationship with Primus and its partly because of Nyon and partly because of his own feeling inadequate for the Matrix)

"Then take it all; all of my nothing" again, projecting onto megarod and TPiMfF(aiSS). Chapter 15: megs saying he'd take anything roddy offers ("life, happiness, purpose")
