The Wild Robot is obviously fucking incredible but what i dont see a lot of people talking about is the parallel of Roz and Brightbill finding out about their families. Brightbill's siblings were killed in their eggs before they could hatch, Roz's identical models were destroyed before they could turn on. both families torn apart by pure coincidence, leaving one sole survivor, with no knowledge of what their species is meant to do or how they're supposed to act. completely isolated

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 :)

I know I said in my post that the miners used to have a long-running bet about whether Orion Pax and D-16 would go through Conjunx Endura or Amica Endura ritual. And it's too funny to not elaborate.
The bet happens among miners on the same floor as Orion and Dee in the miner dormitory. The two are easy to recognize because:
Dee is known to be one of the best miners,
Orion is known to get into trouble first thing in the morning (as shown by the annoyed "Again" by one of the background characters when he landed on the train), and
they're always seen together.
Now, on to the bet. It started as a joke:
Some think Dee could do better for a mate and bet on Amica Endura (a bot can dream).
Others believe there's a reason Dee still hangs out with Orion even when Orion doesn't care about getting into trouble and bets on Conjunx Endura.
Jazz bets 3 to 1 that whichever ritual, it's Dee who would initiate first because he has a "more steady rhythm" than Orion's beat.
Elita-1, even if she's not in the same dormitory floor, knows about the bet because they're on the same team. She retorted it would be a million years before something ever happens between those two gobots.
Prowler thinks they'd eventually separate due to differences but doesn't bet. Sadly, this happened, which would've ended the bet.
But when the war with the Decepticons came, the bet was forgotten. They know Dee. They can't joke about it anymore, knowing he became their strongest enemy now.
But, oh, after MILLIONS of years, the Autobots and Decepticons are coming home to Cybertron for a common cause. The peace agreement was tentative at best. But slowly, they began adapting a pattern of norm.
Then, the autobot who had kept the record of bets stumbled upon their old belongings.
It only took one mention to the other Autobots before the stupid bet came back with full force on their now co-leaders.
B-127, now Bumblebee, finds out about the bet and says he bets they would be happy either way. (It's a wonder he hadn't accidentally blabbed it to Optimus yet)
Ratchet finds out about the bet. With a disapproving air, he declares, "I bet Optimus Prime would do the wise thing and go through Amica Endura first—is what I would say but knowing him..." he slaps a couple of shanix on the table, "20 to 1 odds he'd proposed first to that buckethead."
Optimus Prime felt a difference in their political meetings where they have to negotiate with Megatron and the Decepticons but he appreciates the newfound interest.
The Decepticons caught on to the bet.
Starscream surprisingly refuses to participate, but jeers that he bets Optimus would die from some self-sacrificial shit and Megatron would die from loneliness 3 cycles later.
The lull of the end of the Decepticon meetings are subtly taken as opportunity by some Seekers to know what's Megatron's thoughts on commitment.
Megatron is suspicious that they're up to something, but as long as they keep their nose cones clean, there wouldn't be any repurcussions.
(I'm sorry I'm not as familiar with other Autobots and Decepticons. Feel free to say what you'd think said characters would bet on👍)
