feburary: 404 (didn't do anything

march: didn't do much in march. i choose this pretty shitty karkat sketch because my cat licked it, i drew a better one here for the barbie meme

Trauma pairing: the stonewall vs the chase.

(Yes this is another tfp Megatron & Optimus thing, but with a little bit of ratchet on the side this time. let's move on.)

So stonewalling is mostly unintentional, it's: going quiet, avoiding eye contact, being emotionally unresponsive and avoidant, and just generally not participating socially. It's caused by being overwhelmed and withdrawing due to conflict or emotions themselves. The most common example is with children when they get embarrassed or are in trouble.

And tfp Optimus does this all the time. There's a very limited window where he can express himself or his own feelings, and he really hates conflict. It's a coping mechanism.

It's not a manipulation tactic, such as the silent treatment which is intended to reject or punish someone, but it can be perceived that way. Optimus is actually pretty careful with leading his team to not fall into silent treatment, but it's still something his team has just gotten used to, leaving newcomers, like Jack, to flounder with until someone else comes to explain it.

"Um, Optimus. Want to see something funny?"

"No."

There's probably a lot of reasons why Optimus is this way, war aside, it's likely been his coping mechanism for a while, since in the Orion pax episode he buries himself in work first, then processes his feelings and thinks later. In the book Exodus, Orion goes to see Alpha trion a lot as his mentor. There's not a lot of emotional support between the two, and Alpha Trion greets him by asking why he's disturbing his work. He sees no problem showing Orion the immediate aftermath of a murder or dozen, and later directly tells him he's being too emotional.

In the titan comics, actions done based on emotion, such as not shooting an enemy in the back while they are only trying to rescue their comrades, get him reprimanded and a hearing called.

So Optimus retreats into his own head to be the voice of reason and not experience how things might be affecting him. He represses everything.

The few times he does emote in tfp are completely one sided, screaming after the loss of the omega keys, and winking at the camera after demonstrating the power of the Star Sabre.

In rescue bots he does show fleeting glimpses of a desire to socialise and get along with others. "What's shakin bacon?" "Nothing much, double-dutch." But that's interspersed with a complete inability to handle those emotions to the point he can't bring himself to answer their phone calls.

*Meanwhile*

This antagonises Megatron who works as the chase, pushing to try and get a response, be it an emotional outburst or not. Sudden silence can definitely feel intentional and Megatron has always had an issue with thinking Optimus doesn't react with enough sympathy or empathy to the lower castes. Optimus also had the habit of falling silent when he was disagreeing or overwhelmed by a conversation, leaving Megatron to explain a concept until Orion "understood" it. As Megatron becomes less of a mentor he doubs Orion because he doesn't really express his own thoughts, leaving Megatron to challenge and push him until Orion admits to having opinions of his own.

This sets off Megatron's tendencies to be hypervigilent and read into everything, making him very defensive until Orion finally says something.

This need to read emotions and react according to them is a defense mechanism. Kaon is full of poverty; leading to criminal activity, drug use, and exploitation. Megatron has lived a life where reading the mood of someone is a key element to survival, either from bosses, "friends", roomates, or strangers. If everybody is quiet and tense, you better figure out why before you step on the landmine. Nobody is beyond suspicion and everyone is out for themselves.

He manages this tendency enough to trust Orion until the council meeting. Then as Orion expresses himself Megatron realises that his image of Orion doesn't match reality, and that Orion had been (through omission) "lying" to him the entire time.

Thus it cements Megatron's need to push Optimus until he gets an emotional response, because that's the only thing he can trust in, his own ability to read people. The less Optimus emotes, the more danger he poses. Megatron is full of contempt towards him but also anxiety.

Ratchet is also a bit of a chase, but instead of anger, Ratchet is left with worry, unsure how to help and potentially full of guilt. Very rarely does this bubble to the surface and cause conflict. Because Optimus doesn't share his thought process Ratchet is left frustrated and finally snaps at Optimus in Thirst. Ratchet does the most in cleaning up after Optimus's emotional misteps, and is the one who least wants to rock the boat. He understands the need to wait for a response, but still finds those responses unsatisfying because they lack any emotional comfort.

This worry and guilt is easy prey for Megatron, who can provide the emotional comfort Ratchet seeks, not offering any reason to trust him because there is no way to create that feeling, but instead relying on the hope, joy, and potential relief a repaired cybertron- and thus working to make the cybermatter to do so- could bring. But as both are emotional reaction seeking creatures, they understand the uncertainty in the situation and read the mistrust plain as day. As they don't see trust in the other person, they themselves are unable to trust.

Nicknames the Skelebros Give S/O

Comic (UT Sans) will gravitate towards Babe, Sweetie, and Darlin’. However, the longer the conversation continues, the cheesier the pet names. Mornings with him are infuriating. “what’s shakin’, bacon? what, munch too to handle? can’t handle my eggcellent puns, love muffin? alright, i’ll try to tone it down. just for you, butter butt.” Please stop him.

Classic (UT Papyrus) likes to call you his Datemate the most, never really using any cutesy pet names, but rather a lot of titles like The Sexy S/O or Spagettore: Second Edition. He can very well create very original nicknames when it comes to you, though. Brace yourself. “GOOD MORNING, YOU HANDSOME POLE OF FLESH!” or “LET’S GRAB THIS OPPORTUNITY LIKE MY HANDS GRAB YOUR RUMP WHEN WE CANOODLE, BODACIOUS BABE!” are two prime examples.

Chief (UF Sans) just calls you many different names depending on his mood. If he’s content and relaxed, he’ll call you Sugar and Dollface. When he’s in a bad mood, he’ll get real creative, but never outright insult you, like Soggy Cereal, especially when you’re just starting your relationship. It takes him a while to actually give you pet names ‘cause of the fact that the Underground wasn’t very kind. After he realizes you’re in for the long run, he’ll start to call you Sweetheart, Sweet cheeks, Sweetie. Basically anything with sweet in it.

Boss (UF Papyrus) will most definitely call you his Lackey, no question about it. He had called you his Minion for the longest time, until someone mentioned the yellow jelly beans in overalls. He doesn’t call you his Minion after that. To get you nice and flustered, Boss will take to calling you Darling. Only in private or when he’s jealous (he gets jealous very often because he’s secretly insecure and doesn’t want you to be whisked away).

Sweets (US Sans) likes to use My Love when talking casually, but he’ll hit you with a Mi Amor when he wants to make you flustered. What, you thought it stopped at tacos? Nope, he’ll throw some Mi Coraźon and Pollito atcha. If you’ve irritated him, he’ll call you a Cabrón, but in a grumbling manner as he buries his face in your neck. He can’t stay mad at you when you’re so cute.

Honeypot (US Papyrus) will use any dessert nickname for you, like Honey, Cupcake, and Baby Cakes. When he’s high, he’ll refer to you as a Cute Bird. Why? “cause damn you fly ;)” He does the winky face and everything. He’s actually really easy to fluster, so he tries to get you flustered before he loses his nerve, but there are those rare occasions where he’ll become very blushy and shy and call you Baby Doll. Don’t let this one go.
