#random musing

I meant, Lilith found herself became a vampire—proceeded to shape the Sanguine culture after popular vampire tropes.

Faurbati named himself after famous demons in popular culture.

Roselle was obsessed with One Piece.

Klein and his naming sense.

Then, there was Grisha.

While Only Friends, SandRay, TopMew and NickBoston arcs are all interconnected and the growth of each character is deeply enmeshed in how all of them interact with each other

(I don’t know if I’m making sense 🤷‍♀️😂)

Sienna was an accomplished opera singer, earning her own keep (as with her discussion with her friend) but at the end of the day, she is not a lady in Anthony's eyes.

I don't blame him, he grew up in the creamy layers of the society, and that is how he was raised even if his mother taught him to respect the househelp. But this also means that he is not going to be very accepting of Benedict's entanglements with Sophie.

Anthony left Sienna as soon as his mother had scolded him about her, and showed him that it would have an affect of Daphnae's prospects....he expects Benedict to do the same, because he left Sienna, and then found true love in a member of the ton (Kate).

He would expect Benedict to do the same.....

And he may hate omegas because of his upbringing and probably his absuive dad being all racist about omegas, and he grew up hearing that and hearing his dad's side of the story of how his omega dad baby trapped him, and he did not want Wenlang at allm and Wenlang is just a burden that omega dumped on him and ran away, thisnis probably the spiel that Wenlang grew up hearing. No wonder he does not like omegas, and wants to stay away from them. [He probably neeeds YEARS OF THERAPY, but the only person hilariously seeking out therapists is Hua Yong, and he probably just threw a lot of money on their faces to teach him how to cry and discuss NOTHING ELSE.]

What if this is how the movie introduces him?

Kendall (with the rest of the gang): Hi, we're here to see Logan.

Hospital Receptionist: Oh, you mean Dr. Mitchell? I'm sorry, he's at a Handsome Doctors Convention. May I take a message?

James: What?! Why wasn't I invited???

Kendall: ...James, you're not a doctor.

Like we know how it effected Prowl, and we know Jazz holds his memory in high regard. I like to think Grandus misses him in much the same way he'd miss a beloved father (even if he wouldn't necessarily word it like that).

In the case of Dai Atlas he takes over the Cyber-Ninja corps and tries to reform it after Prowl dies. And thats interesting because I think Yoketron meant for Prowl to take over for him after he died NOT Dai Atlas. Which creates a degree of interest for me.

I mean, Dai Atlas was a way more senior student to Yoketron than Prowl, and was presumably a very good one. It could be argued that Dai Atlas simply didn't have the same body of skill and knowledge Prowl had and so got passed over. However i think its way way more interesting if it was a matter of Prowl being more ready and suited for Yoketrons overall teaching philosophy than Dai Atlas was.

What I'm saying is that I think Dai Atlas might have some internalized conflicts regarding Yoketrons teaching philosophy and that it could be influenced by what happened with Lockdown. Like, Yoketron made it a point not to just take on students from the best and brightest of cybertronian society but to give people who had potential a real chance to improve themselves. He likely extended this philosophy to Lockdown when he took him on as a student, and may have given him chances Dai Atlas may not have felt he deserved.

So of course when Lockdown ultimately goes far enough that Yoketron feels the need to give him the boot Dai Atlas would feel vindicated though concerned. May even wonder why Yoketron bothers with people like Lockdown when they're just going to let him down.

Recall that Dai Atlas is implied to be a highly born socialite. While he was ultimately right about Lockdown I think its possible his own deeply ingrained prejudices mightve influenced his reactions. And of course when Lockdown KILLS Yoketron it'd reinforce that idea.

Dai Atlas doesnt want to throw away Yoketrons philosophy on who to take on as students out of respect for his memory, but he has his doubts as to its justification. How can he just trust that bots everyone else has dismissed won't prove their reputations justified?

I think the reason he wouldn't just dismiss the idea outright would be because of other ninja bots, like Prowl, being evidence that Yoketrons methods bear fruit and are, at least sometimes, justified. So he's kinda left with indecision when hes given the keys to the dojo and left to rebuild.

He's the one in charge now. How will HE run the place?

And I think thats kinda where Drift comes in. By all rights, Drift is probably an even less desirable potential student than Lockdown might've been. At least Lockdown started out as an Autobot, whereas Drift was born a decepticon.
