If you take the time to leave in depth, praise-filled comments on my fic I hope you find $20 on the ground tomorrow. I hope the barista at your favorite coffee place makes you the most spectacular latte you have ever had. I hope you see a dozen sweet, fluffy puppies all in one afternoon and get to pet each and every one. I hope you find the perfect pair of jeans on clearance. I hope the sun shines on your precious face and all your dreams come true.
“-taking into account fluctuation in the magnetosphere-” Perceptor continued. He was inside Cyclonus’s cockpit, transformed into a device that looked like a microscope but seemed to work like every scientific measuring apparatus in existence and a few imaginary ones, and had been taking readings. “-the battlefield would be here.”
With Unicron defeated and the peace-treaty in place, Autobots and Decepticons can start rebuilding Cybertron and uncover the past. Cyclonus, Armada and Perceptor are going to do the latter literally: it’s time for an archeological dig. Meanwhile, Ultra Magnus has to grapple with his own past as a former Quintesson slave.
Cybertron was many things, but a typical holiday destination was not one of them. Admittedly, most holiday destination planets were such because they were attractive to one or more organic species, who had much higher needs than Cybertronians (Sentinel remained baffled at the amount of chemical compounds an organic creature needed to ingest to function, for example). So he’d been quite curious about what Ultra Magnus had come up with.
Assuming that peace doesn’t come with problems was a mistake. They’re just not the type that one can punch, as Sentinel Prime is learning.
Created by Prime Nova, Search and Rescue are the Cybertronian equivalent of emergency services. Once the first war broke out, Search and Rescue fell apart, with some of the members forming their own warbands. Several of those warbands would later rejoin the Autobots under Sentinel Prime during the second war, and then form the core of Search and Rescue again, once it was rebuilt during the third interbellum period.
Divided into:
‘A good tragedy is always both preventable and inevitable’ is one of my main hills to die on. It’s literally so important to me. I’m fucking correct
It’s only tragedy if you convince yourself, for even just a moment, that everything could be ok, despite knowing it won’t be. Tragedy lies in ‘so close, yet so far.’ It’s avoidable because it would only take a tiny alteration to prevent disaster, but human nature is in the way- not maliciously, not knowingly, despite trying so hard.
If it’s just preventable, that’s barely even sad. Why didn’t they prevent it, then? If it’s just inevitable, that’s only marginally better. Why would we weep? Our hopes can’t be dashed on the rocks, we can’t hope.
Every tragedy worth the paper it’s written on could be averted by a single word, a single choice, a single hesitation, but won’t be, because the subjects are only human. Not because they were weak, stupid, or evil- simply human. Their simple humanity makes disaster inevitable.
And in my opinion, the very best tragedy, the very most heartwrenching, comes from the hero making the right decision every time- from their perspective.
It’s when you know you would have done the exact same thing in their shoes, and only because of your perspective as the reader are you able to see what it will cost. That’s what really rocks my socks
you gotta have a situation that is, theoretically, resolvable, not just some kind of unstoppable external force.
but that these specific people cannot and will not do the things it would take to resolve it, because of who they are specifically. a really good tragedy has a violently personal psychological element.
what they call a 'fatal flaw' but it doesn't have to be something that's bad about them, it could be their kindness or their courage as easily as it could be their insecurity or ambition. the point is that there exist choices that could create a survival path, and this person, as they are, in the time they have to choose, cannot make them.
