#lambotwins

"Define Sibling" as in. So in Sparkweave (hcon I share with my sib), the word "Brother/Sibling" means like. two different things that get translated the same way. "Brother (who I have chosen)" and "Brother (who is mine by blood)." Twin can mean either "Brother (who I have shared the forge with)" or "Brother (who I share my spark with)," which is roughly Fraternal and Identical but eh. whatevs

Age is more or less social perception here. The lambotwins (ignited just before Sentinel's assassination) are chronologically a bit older than Bee and Cliff (ignited around 1 million years into the Cybertronian Civil War), but they socially have a much higher standing as "mature, responsible mecha). Sunstreaker would be "older" if he weren't eternally going to be perceived alongside Sides' bullshit

"get them a fucking therapist" because they are. Unhealthily codependent. Even for split sparks.

Cliff sees Bee as a lot more innocent and vulnerable than he is in large part because Bee was a very sickly newbuild and has a lifelong spark condition. They were batchmates and Cliff decided from the very moment that he realized Bee was "weak" that he would always protect and care for him. Meanwhile Bee... he appreciates all the Cliff does for him, but he hates being seen as "sweet, naive Bumblebee", especially by other minibots

Ok you've endured enough yapping, here's the blank template
