You Still Swap Even If It's Not A Person. If It's A Chair You're A Chair 👍

So I'm fully in a Transformers Prime binge rewatch and holy SMOKES I did not remember how gay this show was. Like obviously Starscream is twinktown central and Knockout is very flamboyant, yes--but Megatron is so obsessed with Optimus (and vice versa) it's not even funny! Here's a compilation of the best moments from *just the first half of S1*:

Megatron returns after who knows how long and one of the first things out of his mouth is "No one rids me of Optimus Prime except me!!"

Megatron "dies" and Optimus is immediately depressed to the point where Ratchet asks about it and unlocks Sad Reminiscing

The Autobots are trying to figure out what the Decepticons are up to and Optimus starts with "Starscream is no Megatron, but--" just say you miss him

Megatron is literally comatose and his coma dream is him and Optimus fighting over and over again. Optimus just keeps respawning. Bro is LITERALLY living in his head rent free

In fact when Bumblebee gets inside Megatron's head Optimus is literally the First Thing he sees

Why is Bee in there? Because Optimus is deathly sick! And one of the only things that rouses Optimus from his nearly catatonic state? Learning Megatron is alive!

Megatron is also the only one who has the knowledge to save him so now they're both on their deathbeds together and their fates are linked etc. etc.

Bumblebee gets the info he needs by telling Megatron that if he doesn't give them the cure, Optimus will die (and Megatron will therefore not get to kill him)

Megatron (who had figured out this was all about Optimus before Bee even told him): "After our deep history together, to NOT watch the spark ebb from his eyes with my very own...well played, Scout." And then he gives him the cure

Starscream is about to kill Optimus and Megatron--as the FIRST thing he does after getting out of his coma--literally knocks him out of the sky, saves Optimus's life (priorities), and completely lets Optimus go. Which brings the Deliberately Saving Optimus's Life count up to 2!

Will add on as the show continues, but this is just like. 14 episodes in. At this point, forget allegations, they've been fully tried and convicted lol

ok wait, reblog if you’ve cried at least once because of math, doesn’t matter which grade i’m trying to prove something

the emotion i just experienced is kind of indescribable

But *why* does he bless the rains down in Africa. What's the purpose. What's the reason.

Demon and Celestial beings Courting

Kidnapping

It was very used in the old times to kidnap the person a demon wanted to court, but in modern times that’s seen as a barbaric method and it has been changed quite a bit.

Demon courting human:

Demons will just ask their human partner to spend 1-2 weeks with them in a remote location, or just far enough away from populated areas. 

Demon courting demon:

Demon A will either ask the family of Demon B if they can spend time alone with their love interest (promising to return if Demon B asks them to) or Demon A will do the same thing demons do with humans.

Courtship fights

Another thing really practiced outside of kidnaping is fights. The demon will either fight someone close to their love interest or fight their lover. This is the same for demons courting humans or other demons, and the fights are just merely excuses to show off how strong one can be in front of their love interest.

Courtship bracelets

Despite the name, courtship objects are not limited to bracelets or jewels and can vary from species to species.

Bird demons and water demons will often make objects with things they think are pretty. Like making a painting of scenery that they think their lover likes or that made them think of them, or necklaces made out of stones found in riverbeds.

Spider demons and a few other bug demons will weave silk or laces to gift to their love interest. The laces in particular can be woven to make strong armors or even magical artifacts. Sometimes these demons will also bring food with them but it’s usually simple things like pastries or homemade tea or honey.

Monkey demons, a few varieties of bird demons and onis will either make courtship bracelets, sing or perform a particular dance for their partners.

Predatory demons like lions, leopards, cougars and so on will make lavish meals, sometimes they even hunt or gather the resources they need themselves.

Dragons will gift scrolls containing incredible knowledge, magic artifacts, or just poetry. If the poetry is written by the gifter themselves, it’s seen as even more important than a scroll. A few types of dragons and water demons known as “ Jiaoren “ can also cry pearls and spin a type of raw silk known as “Jiaoxioa” which are also used as courting gifts.

But even when a demon gifts a courtship bracelet, jewels that were made by the demon who’s proposing are seen as more important than really expensive ones. Even when they are made of poor or simple materials like wood, copper, or even just cotton.

Nesting and other habits

The use of making nests was created because demons of old times used to live in caves for the most part and the nest were specifically made for the babies, so they wouldn’t get hurt in the rough floor, or for couples.

Nowadays, nesting is also used to show platonic affection and to comfort someone. Even just friends can join a nest as long as they were invited first.

However, nesting is not something that every demon does. Spider demons are especially contrary to them because they are used to using webs to catch their prays, and to them, a nest feels like a trap. Dragons and other cold-blooded demons prefer burrowing instead of nesting. which sometimes just results in them covering themselves with heavy blankets and pillows.

Another well-known habit is “markings”. Markings can be done in a variety of ways and don’t have to be necessarily a sexual thing, but they are still considered something that requires permission from both parties and is seen as illegal to do them without permission.

There are way more habits and customs than the ones I’ve listed, but they are very specific and change from species to species.

If you have ideas or theories please share them and I will add them to this post.

Edit: Some information regarding Jiaoren has been added

spell jars: maintenance

if you've crafted a spell jar that you'd like to work for an extended period of time, maintenance of said jar is highly suggested - in this case specifically, i'm gonna use benefic spell jars as an example.

just like a device that operates on battery (can you tell i like this analogy?), a spell jar should be charged on a regular basis to maintain its integrity and functionality. a little housekeeping, if you will.

spell jar maintenance:

clean the outside of the jar - wipe it down and dust it off

take a look inside - does anything look unintentionally moldy or unsavory?

if so, you might consider remaking the jar - unless the jar is meant to be baneful in nature, soured ingredients likely won't help manifest something positive

otherwise, you can cleanse the jar of any negative energy that it may have acquired since its creation and recharge it with the same energy, intent, and ingredients

or you can remake it all together

when does a spell jar need to be maintained?

when it stops working

when you fail to see the results you wanted

when you feel like it needs a little boost

when you want to reevaluate your intentions

when you need a fresh start

when the vibes are off

whenever you want

disassembling a spell jar

you can literally just throw it in the trash if you want to

but you can also:

bury the rest of the ingredients

burn them

leave them outdoors to be reclaimed by nature

etc.

your mileage may vary, but as always:

don't burn toxic herbs, don't fuck up the environment, and practice fire safety :)
