Winged Victory

Cybertronian sleep experiment. Not rlly. Anyway here's my headcannons.

Tailgate- sleeps like a rock with his teddy bear 👍

Swerve- ur uncle at New Year's.

Megatron- sleeps restlessly ptsd style. He keeps a pillow with the face of whomever he is most upset with at the time taped on. Naturally lashes out in his sleep and needs to strangle something.

Minimus ambus- always tense, always shaking, always wakes up sore and exhausted. Refuses to take ptsd medications because he believes it's a personal failing he must work on and not a mental disorder 💀

Ravage- ordered by Megatron to watch over Minimus while he sleeps, since he's nocturnal. Will never admit it, but he doesn't hate the autobot. Minimus is the only mech other than Megatron that Ravage is mostly fine with. Obviously, doesn't sleep in bed. He's a cat.

Velocity- not pictured here, but she has princess style curtains over her bed. Sleeps with minimal bed stuff so she has room for her body pillow of Nautica. Likes her room cold as hell

Nautica- kitty everything, loves her bed shape because she moves a lot. Is collecting more plushes by the day. Velocity pillow supports her giant back things.

Perceptor- even though he no longer is an actual sparkeater, he fears he will attack in his sleep. His extra arms are strapped down, and the bed also has built-in restraints that can snap into place if he begins to move in sleep. This has backfired a few times and has made him late for his shift.

Everyone else's voice headcanons for Rung: Softer, generally has a British or German accent, might talk kinda fast.

Mine: Megamind

(Also, side note: pretty much the ENTIRE cast of mtmte have something mentally going on. Standouts would be Whirl, Red Alert, Fort Max, and the Scavengers as evidenced above, but there’s a case to be made for any member of the cast having some mental disorder.)

I thought that Taash would have the worst handwriting out of all the Veilguard members but then I reconsidered, because. Taash' mom is a scholar and she has a high standards for her child; there's no way that she would allow Taash to write illegibly (no matter Taash' actual opinion on this).

So, in fact, Taash has amazing handwriting. Probably on par with Emmrich (a scholar who worked very hard to fit among Nevarran elites) and Lucanis (rich as fuck guy from important Antivan family and with Caterina for a grandmother).

But then, what about the rest?

Well, Davrin is a Grey Warden. He probably had to write reports of the shit he has seen and done. Reports that need to be read by people later. Same with Harding, she spent years with Inquisition, so even if her writing wasn't that great at the beginning, it definitely was legible by the time of the Veilguard.

Bellara? Well, she's a scientist and we know the stereotypes about their handwriting. But the thing is, Bellara obviously publishes stuff, both scientific and her novels. She also regularly corresponded with other scientists, including Emmrich. Ergo, her writing is legible. Maybe not fancy calligraphy but it looks nice. Granted, her notes might be kind of haphazard and written in shorthand, but she absolutely cleans them up before showing to anyone.

Which leaves Neve. The detective of Dock Town, who lives on fish sticks and bad coffee. The quintessential crime noir character.

Honestly though, I feel like it kinda fits for him to be a bad therapist. The whole point of the comics are a group of lunatics who come together to go on a seemingly pointless mission and end up failing successfully. Everyone’s a hot mess fuckup, all in different ways, but the message is that they still all have worth(see comic page at the end of this post).

Even if Rung pressures too hard sometimes or says the wrong thing at the wrong time, he always puts the patient first and genuinely tries to understand and help them get better. He’s THERE for people. And that’s a really important aspect of healing especially with people like Whirl, Red Alert and Fort Max who have very little support. Sometimes having someone who cares about you, wants to succeed and looks forward to seeing you can be enough to keep people afloat.

If a shitty therapist who actually lost his licenses several millennia ago is the only person who treats you like a decent Cybertronian being, then maybe that’s enough for now. Sure you still have your millions years of ptsd, suicidal ideation and personality disorders but you’re getting through the day without seriously harming yourself or others.

Rung was someone(probably the only person) Red relied on through his delusions and when that anchor was gone he felt isolated once more and tried to protect himself in the only way he thought would work.

Even though Whirl could tell that Rung was fed of with him sometimes, and would actively provoke him, he still felt that Rung was a friend, someone he trusted and cared for.

So yeah maybe he’s not good at being a therapist, but he’s sure as hell good enough.

Anyways here’s my favorite comic page of all time:

I don’t see see a lot about how Bumblebee has had (probably) the most amount of human besties atp

It kinda makes me wonder how they’d get along if they met.. 👀💛🐝
