The concept of Stranger Things being a show where you watch children abused grow up to protect the next generation from ever having to suffer that abuse. Harnessing the same power their abusers weaponized, but for good.

The concept of the show built in tribute to cycle breakers and their strength and service. ❤️

I already knew they were cycle breakers, but the concept of the show ending by showing what that really means.

By showing the number of people it protected.

Not just saying "cycle breaking takes so much strength and you are so strong for it", but in the final season, saving these children as a means to say: No one ever told you, and no one ever talks about it. But so many lives were saved by your perseverant gentleness. The next generation is better for it, safer for it. Thank you.

The bad news is that despite it all Trump is unfortunately still alive, the good news is he wore a ridiculous cowboy hat and the memes are choice.

Do you have any headcanons for what the TFA autobots and decepticon's sparklings look like?

rn I have stuff for Decepticon sparklings

They give big uncanny valley vibes by Cybertronian standards. Instead of looking like tiny protoforms, they're tiny versions of their sires with underdeveloped armor, faded colors and a disturbingly fleshy texture

They're blind for the first week or so, utterly defenseless and very confused. They make tiny squeaks at this age, and they're still experimenting with their EM fields, which means bothering every bot around them at 3AM for no reason other than demanding attention

It's hard for me to fully make them ugly-cute (except maybe Lugnut's because what the fuck is that thing (affectionate)) - but they look... so much worse fresh out of the oven

Even if humans find them adorable (it's the oxytocin we feel whenever we see something with baby proportions/features) - bots find the sparklings pretty ugly (imagine your partner giving birth to a bunch of mole-rat-looking-things)

Okay I love how in Letters from Ketterdam: A Darker Shore that you can tell when Kaz realizes the letters are being intercepted. Like the previous letter is so much more vulnerable? The whole section about the farm and wanting Inej to come visit it? And after this we are on Club Cumulus paper and there’s a less sentimental, less effusive, more to the point and typical Kaz flippantness to the remaining letters. We were robbed by the Merchant Council and their interceptions.
