Just a heads up, heavy angst and (some?) self harm warning.

Ik this was meant to be a silly ask, buuut I needed to get the angst out of my systems😇😇

Imagine this, if you will. It becomes an Autobot inside joke to blame the Decepticons for minor inconveniences, even if it’s completely unrelated to any Con activity. I’m talking stubbing your toes (pede?), dropping something, consoles being slow, that sort of thing. For some Autobots, it gets more and more specific because it’s really funny to curse out That One Con for not putting in a code correctly the first time or what have you.

Now, imagine this carries over to after the war. On the Lost Light, some mechs just say it instinctually because it’s become a habit over millenniums of war. Megatron would be a common victim of this blaming, not because he’s on the ship, but because he was the Warlord of the Decepticons and it’s just been integrated into Autobot vernacular.

Ran into a doorway? Damnit to the pit, Megatron.

Tripped over your own pede? Megatron, how could you?

Put in your own password wrong more than once? Must be Megatron’s fault.

Lots of other ‘Cons get their names dropped as well, of course, but they aren’t there to hear it. Everytime Megatron overhears this he’s just like. ???? What??? How is this my fault???

Bonus points if nobody will explain it to him (or any other con/ex-con on board.)
