ooc | A few changes to the blog...
Hi. I'm in the (very) slow process of maybe trying to revive this blog; I never intended to leave it behind forever, though certain factors keep me from it still. Nevertheless, I think in time, I might start being active again, like I kept planning. Actually, spending some time away from TC helped me put his blog and character into perspective, and I want to switch focus/time skip a few elements in his verses:
1: I might change the main verse again to be the "Autobot Aid" verse, where he's reluctantly defected to the Bots for shelter and sanctuary from Megatron's wrath. It's a very versatile set up, which can even play into Season 3 of G1 (since he defected mid-season 2)
Now that's Might. It's not settled yet, but I'll let you know if I make the change.
2: Thunder's romantic drive is going to be lower. When I first created this blog, he was on the aro-ace spectrum, unsure if he could even feel love (and was okay with that). This doesn't mean I'm killing Thunderrose or any chance for another ship. He can feel love and form a strong bond with his amanti. It does mean that he's not really into the 'formalities' of romance, or things like flirting (he's not good at it anyway. He just knows to make his voice low and that usually works lol). He's not overly affectionate, and cuddles/kisses are usually reciprocated and not initiated. ...Usually. Not always.
This is NOT to say he doesn't care about what his s/o wants or feels. Rosie, for example, is very expressive of her love for TC and loves going on dates and doing couple things; Thunder obliges bc she likes it, and he likes making her happy.
3: Thunder's mental health will be improving, but he still has some way to go. This pretty much applies to all verses/threads in varying degrees. He's still sorta grumpy, and still has bouts of depression, but he's finally moved past hating himself, and has forgiven himself of his past deeds (well, most of them). However, he still has doubts about assimilating himself in the new environments that have been introduced to him, due in part to his social anxiety. There are still asocial tendencies to overcome.
His unhealthy coping mechanisms also show signs of improvement. He's able to do these things because he enjoys them, and not to rely on them as a crutch for negative emotions.
