#ship rambles

20 strength boyf riends delight in being the only people in their circle who can pick each other up and then spin around ok. All cutesy. (Well Ayda can do it to Gorgug. And has carried him a little for fun probably. But not Ragh I think.) Does Ragh like being the big guy yes absolutely is it nice to be picked up and held every once in a while also yes let him have this.

Gorgug straight up just doesn't like that he's taller than everyone (at least at first I do think he gets more comfortable in his body) and likes that Ragh makes him feel less big and imposing. In fact Ragh keeps telling him he needs to bulk up he's so small. Him! Small! Complicated feelings arise. I think about them often.

Watching DotM clips again until I noticed...

HOW TINY SOUNDWAVE IS COMPARED TO MEGATRON. WHY IS HE SO SMALL?! HE DOESN'T EVEN REACH MEGATRON'S WAIST.

LIKE, SOUNDWAVE, DUDE, I KNOW YOUR HUSBAND IS MASSIVE BUT I NEVER NOTICED HOW FUCKING SMALL YOU WERE, GODDAMN

Megatron is gonna have to sit down or lift Soundwave up like G1 Galvatron did to even see him in the eyes 😭

There’s just something so unique about Metonic. It’s probably the added layers of “falling in love with the self” and “robot x organic”, but it all comes together to make them really interesting.

I’ll be real, the primary reason I wish Metal talked more in official media is because I want to know how he genuinely interacts with Sonic. We regularly see him be shown to have more sentience than Eggman’s other robots, and we can clearly observe from how he acts that he wouldn’t be just like Chaos Sonic, he’s got his own vibe and I really wish we got to hear that in words. I wish these two could actually banter, I want a better look into their dynamic.

Metal also is often not given an identity outside of copying Sonic. And while that’s tragic, it’s a great catalyst for a story in which he decides to try and assert his own identity. And the added potential of him and Sonic exploring his differences or helping free him from Eggman’s evil grasp is super compelling and could be super sweet.

"France?"

"You spent most your youth there, didn't you? I am curious about the place you grew up in."

"But.....France?"

"I cannot think of any other place. Why, you don't like it?"

"Rather than like....I am just so flattered you chose a destination for my sake rather than yours."

"It IS for my sake. I am curious I want to see the place you grew up in, where you spent your best days, where you fooled around, where you have memories--- all that,,,,,unless you don't want-"

"No no...I, I do not mind at all!" He smiles widely, "Now I know where I should take you on--"

"On?"

"Nothing."

Aesop frowns and doesnt pay much mind to it,,,,but a week later, when Joseph, nervous and blushing and unsure, so unlike his usual confident cheeky self, asks aesop in a tone of voice trying to be nonchalant----"Do you think we should get married?" Suddenly it clicks into place in Aesop's mind---why his lover had asked him that question a week ago.....and he is so shocked all he can do is stare at joseph in stunned silence, worrying the latter who quickly tries to take back his suggestion--- but aesop doesn't let him....

"Joseph," He says, "I didn't say no."

Aesop sees it in real time. The way Joseph realises what those words mean, his lover has known him long enough to know what anything Aesop says could mean. Joseph cannot believe it....even after he puts the ring on him and kisses him and laughs and says how happy he is, he is so giddy with happiness he cannot believe it.

Maybe choosing France was the right decision.....for their honeymoon.
