"Rings, and other Middle Earth things."

What do you see, Starscream? …This is super inspired by Soundwave’s original/g1 bio (shown below) 😮‍💨 and like how in Marvel G1 Soundwave kinda does have that friendly facade.. but Starscream tended to see him how he truly is whereas Megatron and Shockwave tended to blindly believe in Soundwave’s loyalty (but then even Starscream still had a little bit of a blind eye to Soundwave’s act a few times too)… I wish Soundwave having that affable surface yet opportunistic personality showed up more in continuities tho, it would be so interesting to see him like that again and more

TAZ SKYLAR as SANJI,

The last chapter, numbered in base-six Eridian numerals that Grace instinctively thinks in now, is inherently bittersweet. It's sweet because Ryland loves Rocky, this much is blatantly obvious, this much is a truth of him as a person, but I couldn't see him being incandescently happy on Erid as I came to expect from fandom context.

It's bitter because, well. He just seemed content more than anything. Begrudgingly so. (But I try to stay positive. What else have I got?) It doesn't help that the last conversation in the book between Grace and Rocky (Hey! You're leaking. I haven't seen that in a long-ass time.*) being about how Sol is saved, and if he wants, he can absolutely go home.

And he doesn't want to.

Record scratch! I wish that was true. No, it's not that simple, actually. If it was as cut and dry as that, then I wouldn't have this rotting taste in my mouth; because yeah, he doesn't want to leave Rocky, and Rocky (Speaking from a selfish perspective, I hope you stay. But that's just me.) obviously doesn't want him to leave; but Grace doesn't leave, primarily, because he's too old. Fifty-three. He doesn't think he can brave the loneliness of a four-year journey at his age. He also thinks there's not really people for him to go back to. (It's a long, lonely journey---Erid may not be where I'm from, but at least I have friends here.)

Also, it's important to note that one of Grace's primary character traits was his overwhelming love for Earth. (I hold my head up high. Maybe I will go home someday.)
