#i adore him...

I know I spend like 90% of my time gushing over how gorgeous he is, and I will not apologize for that because it's TRUE and he's so unbearably beautiful but it's not just how frustratingly handsome he is, it's everything about him, it's the way he moves and talks and is always so naively overconfident about everything, it's his delight in every small victory and his neverending ambition and his passion for science and battle and his honor as a warrior. It's his skill as a strategist and a flier, his ruthlessness in battle and the way he wears his heart on his sleeve. It's his courage in standing up to Megatron again and again, his determination in mutiny, and his strength in enduring so much. I love Starscream, and I love everything about him, and I love HIM.

He's totally gorgeous and everything about who he is is so incredibly beautiful!! Ahhh!!

I tracked the book down (because... well, Tarjei... 😅) and got in contact with the person behind the whole project, a very nice guy called Ole Petter Ribe. I received my copy of the book today - and with Ole Petter’s permission I’m allowed to share with you Tarjei’s paragraph on friendship laws, which... *giggle* I really do adore that boy 💜

Translation:

B. About general relationships, about me and my gang and about love

§48

Tarjei Sandvik Moe

Oslo. Year 2093. The friend group and messenger chat McGregorBoyzz (named after the UFC fighter who in 2042 came out as gay, not the actor from the really old movie Moulin Rouge), originally consisting of six high school friends born in the year 1999, is today down to three surviving boys. An early, recalled version of the self-driving car took Marek’s life in 2033, a robot partner with too much jealousy source code killed Duc in 2065, and early today Ulf died during an attempt at the popular extreme sports trend of the 2090s, kamibaze jumping. It is in itself sad to have lost half the gang, but moreover, it reduces the chance by half of getting an answer in the chat when you ask if someone wants to have a glass of Mars wine. There is, however, another problem that now stresses the rest of the group. After Duc and Marek's passing, Ulf was really McGregorBoyzz's last natural leader. The leaders Marek, Duc and Ulf did die first. Leaders often die first. The strength of leaders is to take responsibility and make quick, impulsive decisions for themselves and others, such as ordering cheap tickets to Ibiza by Matoma. But this instinctive, reckless way of living is also the main reason why leaders often end up dying early. And now there are only the submissive, undependable successors left. Kai, Makthar and Theo. At the age of 94, Kai has never dared to take control of the music at a pre-party. On Saturday morning, Makthar doesn’t buy alcohol himself, instead he messages the McGregor-boyzz at 14:56 and asks one of them to get two bottles at the Mars wine monopoly within four minutes, claiming that he himself is caught in the shower. And Theo… yeah… Theo. Fuck Theo. Everyone knows that a group without initiative is a dying group of friends. What should they do now, when none of the remaining three are fit to steer the electric ship? Can one of the boys step up their game, take over as the king of the gang, and thus save its existence? McGregorboyzz (in messenger format) Kai: Damn. King Ulf is dead. Makthar: Yes, damn. Theo: Too bad about Ulf. Don’t think I'm so keen on Kamibazehopping anymore now. Makthar: Shut up, Theo. Theo: I can take over, if no one else wants to? Kai: Like hell you will. Theo: Right, so one of you’re going to? … Makthar: Do elections? Like, voting on who will be in charge? Kai: Elections. That's the most fair way. Whoever is elected just has to take that responsibility, like a monarch. Theo: Elections are not that damn stupid. Worked damn well with Sven Nordin as King of Norway.
