the way they genuinely address Starscreams trauma is SO refreshing to see because I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tf show genuinely do that. And him and hashtag bro 😭😭 they’re so precious I swear
"oh ep 21 is gonna have the kids team up with starscream that's gonna be funny" I said. "It would be so silly if starscream ended up being the Dad 2 to the iPad Baby" I said. and then I fell out of my chair onto the floor
(disclaimer: this is a fanfic, don't take it seriously with the canon)
When Hashtag accidentally got herself inside GHOST's HQ, she felt the presence of a Terran. It was not the way she feels her siblings. The presence is simply there. Twitch felt it as well when she and Bumblebee went inside. As they went into the chaotic prison area, they found Mirage lying limp in one of the cells, completely depleted of energy. Hashtag and Twitch knew he was a Terran; they can't leave him behind! So they took him out of GHOST.
After rejuvenating him, they brought Mirage to their farm for his safety. Hashtag and Twitch are the first to befriend Mirage, yet their guest is closer to Hashtag due to their shared interests in movies. Then they form a much tighter bond ... because of Mandroid in Philadelphia.
Mirage had retractable swords built onto him but he had no idea until he got mind controlled alongside Hashtag. He was deadly with them, too. He hurt the Maltos. After the devices came off, Hashtag was comforted but Mirage was driven away by Thrash and Robbie.
On the next morning, Hashtag went against her older brothers' protests and went to look for Mirage. She comforted him and did not blame him whatsoever just as her sibling did for her. She promised they are going to find out and understand why Mirage is different from her and her siblings together.
Sometime later, Hashtag weirdly feels shy and gets butterflies in her nonexisting stomach every time Mirage is within her vicinity. And here Dot and Alex thought they were going to expect this from Robbie when he enters high school...
"No, Hashtag, dear, having a crush on someone is not crushing them flat in a literal sense."
