OH @cobaltscar DO I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU-

I need people to see the beauty that is a friendship between Maxwell and WX-78. They're both so chaotic and funny, and some of the only nice dialogue Maxwell has about the other survivors comes from their interactions, even going as far as to say he actually liked them and sees them as a friend (though in his own Maxwell-y way. The exact quote is from when WX dies. "A shame about your death, %. You were the only one I half-liked.")

But also, none of WX's dialogue is exactly hostile towards him, either. It all reads to me as vauge teasing. Say what you want, but they definitely are friends.

This also makes sense if you notice that WX wasn't brought to the constant by Maxwell, they were pushed through the portal by Wagstaff! They don't have a connection to Maxwell that's inherently bad, if anything, it's neutral ground. There's no genuine animosity between the two of them, so their teasing and bickering towards eachother seems very lighthearted!

Also, due to Wagstaff looking so much younger in the short than as we know him, it's safe to assume that they're set further into the past than Wilson and the others, instead of the 1920's, it'd probably be around the 1900's, when Maxwell was still William, or at least, newly received the codex. I feel like William and Woodrow would be good friends.

Anyways, Maxwell and WX-78 friendship solos.

Artificer is so much fun I love her she's my favorite

reblog w the song lyrics in your head NOW. either stuck in yr head or what yr listening to

no one here to talk about how raph’s sense of self-preservation vs self-sacrifice is directly tied to how it affects the safety of his family and i resent that

leo gets dropped off a building, raph all but throws himself after him to catch him, no real plan, just desperation.  shadow of evil, he sees they’re way outnumbered, he literally picks his entire family up and runs.

battle nexus new york he posts himself over donnie as a personal shield against shredder

shreddy or not, not only is he the second mvp of the initial brawling (gram gram is of course biggest mvp) putting it all on the line THROWING HIMSELF at shredder, saving bacon left and right with like zero regard for his own safety. he then has to buckle down and make the choice to get his brothers to safety TWICE while leaving people behind in the span of a couple of minutes, and he looks so absolutely torn up about it

in the movie, he’s the one who sees them getting their butts handed to them in the first kraang showdown and calls for the retreat/escape pods! and then he puts himself on the line saving leo’s life, getting hurt in the process, then getting leo out safely and being captured in the process.

and i think it’s so interesting that like. when he knows his family made it home safe in one piece, when he’s alone in enemy hands and sister kraang is straight up like “let’s kill him already he won’t tell you anything,” raph is just like. “yeah, she’s right.” no trying to stall for time or argue back. 

like his sense of self-preservation and i think overall worth really is SO so directly tied to his family’s safety. which makes it hurt even harder to see his mind and autonomy get violated and used to hurt them imo

Happy (late) new year from
