Why is it that Bumblebee has such good chemistry with his goddamn enemies?
No, seriously , how come this happens so often. First time it's an accident, second it's a quinsedense, third it's a pattern. And it has happened a Lot more than three times, so I don't know what is happening.
Obviously, I ain't complaining,I love ships with Bumblebee, he's one of my favourite characters. It's just peculiar.
Like in Rid15 for example (oh God not again). You can pair him up with almost ANY of the villains and it would be fucking delightful. You wouldn't even have to try that hard to justify it (which you don't have to do) because the material is there, goddamnit
Steeljaw? Toxic yaoi. Look at those obsessed motherfuckers. After some point even their threats cross the line between "Fighting" and "Flirting". They are not the same person, but you bet your ass they were made from the same damn fabric. They are some of the few individuals that would understand the other to a concerningly deep level. No matter how many wounds and scars they leave on one another, they always come back for more. They would be both the healthiest and most problematic choice of a partner for each other. They aren't together in any other universes, but they are in this one and they don't plan on becoming one more of those previously stated universes. I hate them. I love them.
How about Thunderhoof? Ex cop and current mafia boss (?) that was previously disinterested in Bee's existence, now has a reason not to be. Fuck that, he can't. They wouldn't have the same obsessive tendensies that steelbee do, but I can sense a bitch with abandonment issues that grows attached way to quickly and that bitch is Bee (and Sideswipe). At the start, they would most likely have the "That way I can get them on my side" mentality, but it would quickly evaporate once actual feelings get involved. The drama! Having to keep a relationship with someone you love hidden, due to not being on the same side, even though the damn war is over. Also, it would piss Steeljaw off and that's all the motivation I need!
Overload....Past aquiantances, with a LOT of betrayal sprinkled in. The heartbreak of someone you trusted or knew before causing you damage that even if it gets "repaired", it doesn't truly leave. It haunts, like the gentle touches they once gave, the memories that you can't help but recognise them in. And the worst part about all of this? The other individual forgot everything. They forgot the moments you spent, the happiness and secrets you shared, not even the day they drastically altered your life cannot be recalled. And yet you seem to have the opposite issue. You can't help but yearn for the other person's touch. Forgetting would be a blessing. But also..✨Angst✨
Saberbee. Those motherfuckers had so little screen time together and yet this insect twunk (I don't know what he is), that speaks like he comes from the time Shakespeare fucking premiered apparently is acting like this is some enemies-to-lovers fanfiction on Ao3 (a beautifully written one, but still). They had very few scenes where they existed at the same space and time, and yet they manage to make those scenes very, VERY, homoerotic. Surprisingly, this ship wouldn't be as unhealthy as other cross factional ships in the fandom, despite them being the way they are. How can you two be fighting, beating each other's asses to the ground and STILL find the opportunity to flirt goddamnit??!?? So sad that Saberhorn is dead (I think)
Do I really need to say anything about Soundbee?!?Look at them!!! Those are two people who are ridiculously loyal to their factions beliefs (and Soundwave in particular to the previous leader of the faction he is a part of), two people who lost so much, who sacrificed so much to the people they looked up to (Optimus and Megatron), people that are loyal to this very day, even though they have been through so much because of both factions. Also, a point could be made about the way the Cybetronian government and the way it works. Do I know how exactly? Not yet. But I am sure it can happen! I just want these two to bond over all the shit they've been through and have a moment of quiet understanding and peace.
There are more I am most likely missing. If you have any, tell me!!!
