Ireally loved the initial sketch but couldnt find a way to color it that satisfied me. I figured minimalist style would do the tricks.

My babus looks so thoughtful and a bit sad… that what you get when you let dark lords stick themselves into your koff kofff heart XD

Obsessed with the trope of characters believing they are inhuman monsters after being told so or lied to by the world around them for so long, and eventually giving in to become the monster in retaliation.

They become devils because nobody ever gave them a choice. That is what they were condemned as from the start. They are only living up to the expectation, right? But in the end, their only ever crime was being born different.

If your musical doesn’t have a fun and rollicking bar scene where the ensemble gets to flesh out their characters and a bartender is cleaning glasses what even is the point

So Imma assume that y’all do all know this one, at least the basic notes.  The older version I like best varies a bit from Disney, but it’s not wildly unrecognizable like some stories.  Beauty actually has two sisters – also three brothers, but they disappear almost immediately so meh, who cares – and the sisters follow the Eros and Psyche pattern of trying to drive a wedge between Beauty and her Beast and make her scared of him.  The Beast is almost immediately kind and gentle to Beauty; there’s no long period of learning to be show his inner beauty, he’s a big soft boi basically as soon as her dad leaves and the only thing he really does to discomfort her (besides keeping her captive) is asking her to marry him at the end of every day.  He takes her no for an answer, though, and makes it pretty clear that he has to keep asking for undisclosed reasons (magic curse magic curse this should be OBVIOUS Beauty) but never expects a yes.  And I kind of love that he tells her he’s not that bright and she’s like, eh, you’re nice, who needs smart?   Beauty knew how to appreciate a good himbo.

Anyhow, this is a card about illusion, fear, and intuition, all of which made me think of Beauty, afraid but seeing the sweet cuddly himbo under the scary exterior.

SG Beast Wars: Apparently there's a block preventing a beast mode's natural instincts from interfering with bots' higher functions, but apparently being in beast mode for days can make them succumb to feral instincts. Then the canon Maximals deleted the block and "embraced their animal sides". (And in Beast Machines where they become actually techno-organic, they can live on purely organic material but doing so makes them feral)

Imagine how that would go for the Predacons, who are almost all predators (a t-rex, a velociraptor, a scorpion, a giant tarantula, a giant black widow, and scorpion. Well, there's also Wasp and Terrorsaur, idk how Inferno counts and idk what Rampage's species eats). Most likely the feral dinos and spiders would end up trying to kill and eat the other ones, and propably each other. At least Wasp and Inferno would certainly be on feral spider menu.

That'd be very traumatic.

Then imagine having to live presumably the rest of your life with those predator instincts in your head. And then going off the deep end and possibly trying to kill your friends again in Beast Machines.

And in the latter, having to eat animals or plants to survive could be a whole different kind of horror. Normal cybertronians only eat minerals, so at least some might consider eating a plant to be the same as killing and eating an animal, and since cybertronians normally don't/can't eat living things at least some bots could view it as deeply morally wrong (and not just gross).

You're right on that, and iicr Rampage is a crab so that places him firmly in omnivore territory (probably carnivore leaning considering his size makes eating say algae less of an option) and Wasp and Terrorsaur would also be carnivores, so they're not to be excluded in the traumatic experience listed above. And Inferno, as a fire ant, is also an omnivorous altmode, but you can make the argument he's especially impacted by his altmode coding sooo there's interesting things to be had there (I'm remembering baseline tigatron and his role in the episode?)

Yeahhhh the instincts will very probably definitely fuck with them from that point on

You're also right on the eating organic material having ✨interesting✨ implications for a species typically used to inorganic fuels

Trink or treat :3
