The closest we get is Gruffi to a father figure role BUT

HE

IS

NOT

And that inherently changes the dynamic for the entire glen! He and Grammi fight for authority and influence over the cubs! The cubs ping pong back and forth between those two and also sometimes Zummi.

If he was the father for at least one of the cubs then there would be NEW expectations between him, said cub, the other cubs, and both Grammi n Zummi.

It’s so important that Gruffi is ONLY a father figure at and not any of their literal dads or such BECAUUUUSE it further highlights how lonely and isolated the glen gummis are. How their numbers are decreasing so much. Those remaining are outside of the traditional nuclear family roles that modern American lives to salivate over so much

Spider lady plays nice and seems true in her affection, she and sentinel seem…almost sickeningly sweet sometimes that it’s hard not to want to be between them (the pecks on the cheek she gives totally don’t make his fuel pump stutter. Nope. Not at all. Stop asking!)

Over all, they’re definitely a dysfunctional little group (with Optimus being likely the main source of their issues tbh.) but they’re interesting. Now if only BA could convince them to not take over Detroit after they get ride of Sumdac…

Duuuude. Idk if I can add onto this because it’s all here! Shattered Glass poly couple SenOpJazzArachnia. SPOPBAJazz.

BA ily but I don’t believe you’ll be able to convince anyone with Optimus around. And if Optimus wasn’t in the picture Sentinel would leave to follow him. AND Jazz would sooner kill everyone and then himself than let Sentinel leave him. Sorry girl </3
