#age gap issues

Soundblaster: “heh, could visit Malto family briefly, limit exposure to Agent of Chaos… hm. Soundblaster: remembers Breakdown. Toxitron: former Stunticon, fought alongside Breakdown, and often spoke of him kindly, once citing that ‘Breakdown was… is… the o-nly member of the t-team… that didn’t treat me like Gar-bage for looking like Pri-i-me’.

[Soundblaster was playing a recording of Toxitron’s speech. Background noise indicates they were in medbay at the time, and Toxitron sounded hurt. Badly.]

Soundblaster: “Bugbite: would definitely agree to help you locate him. There is… a debt of gratitude. Bugbite, Toxitron and I: all from same cloning Facility on Archa-7. There is kinship. Truthfully, Bugbite: not the only one who wishes to express gratitude for Breakdown’s kindness. We did not receive much over the years…”

I like Breakdown, but Optimus gets jumpy 'n' mad whenever I go see him and Megatron's started taking his side, saying things like...

"Breakdown's the legal adult and you're an Autobot. If you change your mind later, it could be dangerous for him."

I mean... what's he trying to say? I'll lie and tell everyone Breakdown kidnapped me? I'm not even that much younger! I'm practically a grown-up!

They're both being stupid!

Honestly, I and everyone I know was always in the mindset that anywhere within a 3-4 year age gap or less was fine no matter where you fell in age. If anyone on this site hears that an 18 year old is dating a 16 year old, all hell breaks loose, because by god, 16 year olds NEVER have sex right?? Not like the average loss of virginity' is at 15 or anything. Ppl think anything is pedophilia, when they don't even know the actual definition. Fuck off with your cries of crime when its not true.

If you look at google, pedophilia is defined as “the sexual attraction towards (prepubescent) children. meaning, kids who have NOT gone through puberty. Meaning babies, toddlers, and generally any kid under the age of 11 or around that age. Also there is the fact that people with a two or three year age difference (which really isn’t an age gap at all cause they are literally so close together), could have EASILY gotten together when both were still minors, as so many people do.

But I had no idea that a fucking sixteen year old person was a fucking prepubescent child, none at all. My eyes have been open. I am so much wiser now than before. I have learned. *super mega sarcasm, cause dear god how do people this fucking stupid function on a day to day basis*

Soundblaster: “hmm. Soundblaster: understands what Optimus is trying to say - if the two of you were to hypothetically break up, even if it was a mutual thing and not a big drama, public opinion would likely side with you against Breakdown. The Rumour Mill: vicious and hungry, and Gossip circles could fabricate stories to add more Drama to it. So yes, Soundblaster: understands where Prime’s concern stems from. People: can suck.”

Soundblaster: “no relationship is without risk either, especially not Cross-faction ones. Even Nemesis and I faced backlash, Soundblaster: in particular. Soundblaster: often mocked for choosing a partner that resembled the Autobot leader. That stigma is likely why Megatron is siding with Optimus in these arguments, as he is worried about you and Breakdown.”

Soundblaster: “That being said, Soundblaster: does not believe these are sufficient enough reasons to discontinue the relationship. Simply, that Caution: recommended. Example: Nemesis and I keep our relationship quiet, but not hidden. Subtle. Not a secret relationship, just not loudly announcing it and drawing unwanted attention is all. It’s our business, not the general public’s. Does that make sense?”

Soundblaster: “I do not disagree with you though, the age gap concerns are fairly ridiculous. Our people live for literally Millions of years. Soundblaster: encountered much larger gaps than yours and Breakdown’s.”

Huh. I don't think we'd ever break up. I love Breakdown!

... Help us? Please?

Soundblaster: “hm. Adjustment Period: bound to be tedious and imperfect. Effective cohabitation: takes time. Communication without confrontation: beneficial to this process.”

[Translation: try talking to everyone about how you feel, without getting mad.]

Soundblaster: “that being said, Bumblebee: can step away if it is becoming too much. Humans say ‘abscence makes the heart grow fonder’. Spending time away from family chaos: may help to ease tensions. Suggestion: perhaps join Bugbite on his next Trip - Bugbite tends to travel the globe a lot these days.

[Translation: if you need a break from everyone else’s nonsense then take a break. Maybe join your cousin on holiday]

Soundblaster: “concussion: acceptable reason to hold grudge, but unlikely to last. Kup: likely requires time to ‘cool off’. Optimus: potentially making up for lost time with Hot Rod and attempting to bond with newly acquired ward - Bumblebee has spent the most time with him, perhaps he is making up for lost time. Soundblaster will say this much however: at least you got Loom Menacingly and shout a lot Megatron, not Deck you in the face for looking at him funny Megatron.”

Snf. I just... I feel fragging invisible, y'know?

And it's not really because of Hot Rod, either – OP's been like this ever since he made me go into hiding.

Know what I think? I think he's trying to keep me 'n' Breakdown apart and he feels bad about it. That's what I think. Fragging hypocrite! He's had sparklings with Megatron! I mean... yeah, OK, I'm still not quite a legal adult on Cybertron and Breakdown is, but... does that really even matter if we're on Earth?

Hey! Think Bugbite'll come back with me to the Maltos' place? Dot and Alex are pretty cool. I think it'd be OK, so long as I call first...
