Hi! So, um, I have a question:Are there any Cybertronian diseases? I did see ‘Chaos Sickness’ in a few character profiles. Do you have any ideas for that?
Chaos sickness is just how they refer to a peculiar effect from being near the "chaos bringer" Unicron. It reflects how, to a degree, Unicron isn't meant to exist in the mortal realm in the way he does, so the 'reality breaking' influences those close enough to him to exhibit nonsensical symptoms. It's harmless depending on the exposure, The Unicronians are the only ones immune, thankfully they do not output the same energy Unicron did. Spending too long around him could cause something fatal.
There are Cybertronian sicknesses though! Gold plastic syndrome is one, characterised by the lighter coloured metals turning a golden hue, bendability (like how plastic can bend more than metal) and brittleness. It causes repeated damage to the external components, largely cracks and deformations, it often leaves them a touch frailer than normal for the rest of their lives although one can recover enough for it to be barely noticeable.
Various types of rust also exist too, Cosmic rust being an example of a fatal variant, but some can be as harmless as a rash.
There is also the unidentified illness that causes the Empty.
Scraplets also cause a 'disease' that'll impede the self-repair systems of their host to ensure their own safety.
They can also suffer allergies and such because, like us, their own self-repair systems can identify the wrong things as threats and cause reactions.
Some illnesses can cause build-ups of gunk in their systems that make them lethargic and wheeze-y as a bunch of examples.

People will tell you that emotional abuse isn’t real and what you’re dealing with isn’t that big a deal and you’re just exaggerating, but let me tell you something.
If you’ve ever been wary of everyone you know, even people you trust, because you’re expecting them to get angry with you over literally anything, make fun of you, or start making threats, something’s wrong.
If you’ve ever had to plan things in anticipation of a potential tantrum that you fear will be taken out on you, something’s wrong.
If you succumb to someone’s demands because you’re never sure if their threats are empty or legit and you just want to play it on the safe side, something’s wrong.
If you find yourself jumping at smaller noises in anticipation that they’re a warning sign for a tantrum, something’s wrong.
If you hide things - especially things that make you happy - because you’re so afraid that they’ll make fun of you for liking them, scold you for liking something they don’t, take them away, destroy them, or that they’ll defile them and ruin that love you have for them, something’s wrong.
If you find yourself being silent in the face of mild disagreements or thinly-veiled insults, rather than standing up for yourself because you just don’t want to start an argument and make things worse, something’s wrong.
If that very lack of standing up for yourself eventually leads to you never offering your opinion in any sort of discussion out of fear of ridicule or being scolded because that’s what you’re so used to, something’s wrong.
If you end up spending a lot of your time in your room keeping to yourself and keeping any trip outside of your room to an absolute minimum because you don’t want to risk putting one toe out of line and setting off a tantrum, yet you’re also aware that hiding out will also cause an issue and you’re probably just minimizing the risk instead of erasing it entirely, something’s wrong.
If you ever habitually glance outside the window to keep watch for your supposed abuser’s car to return from their work, errand or trip, and then heading to your room or other hiding place to keep out of their way, erasing any obvious signs that you’ve been out and about in the rest of your living space, something’s wrong.
If one of your greatest fantasies involves not a dream career or winning the lottery but instead an escape plan succeeding, something’s wrong.
If you could basically summarize your life as living in constant, subtle fear, Something. Is. Wrong.
Emotional abuse is very, very real, and it has lasting consequences that can affect people’s relationships, their jobs, and their lives all-around.
Don’t you dare tell me it isn’t real.
