I love when they give this sort of bat shape to him. Quick design I made.
Knockout: I headcannon that....
Starscream: Well I have a cannon to my head
Knockout: Megatron's not even here... HOLY SHI--
Megatron just lurking in the door way
Guys I swear I will post doodles soon but hear me out on this song idea/analysis like last time
Thanks, I Hate It by Simple Creatures but it's about Starscream 's and Megatron's relationship (not romantically unless you view it as such) from Starscream's pov.
"Am I good enough for you" portrays that no matter how he acts, loyal, disloyal, submissive or resistant Megatron will always seek the opposite or still view it and therefore him as disgusting making him the perfect punching bag simply for Megatron's very own amusement. In every universe, with the main ones with this problem being armada and prime, he gets treated as somebody with potential by Megatron yet he also denies Starscream that growth.
"I don't owe you anything" is something that Starscream himself would only think in his anger towards Megatron but may have only truly processed those words as true after the war (in the versions he survives for a bit after, such as him in the Windblade comics). This reflects how he -and every other abuse victim- doesn't and shouldn't offer their abuser anything no matter how much your life is centred and controlled by them, they don't deserve you.
"But I gave you everything" shows the fact that Starscream sometimes and maybe in the beginning of everything did try so hard to please Megatron. But he didn't need to do all of that as it only buried the hole he was getting swallowed by even larger and more difficult to escape from.
"Watch you pile it up and sing - Thanks I hate it" summarises Megatron's mentality and actions when it comes down to Starscream. Megatron will rarely accept something he gives and when he does praise is rarely given which may mirror any abusive relationship (I view it as an abusive adopted Father and their dysfunctional son that becomes even worse with the abuse - though see it however you want).
"No you're never satisfied" is Megatron's constant berating and thirst of Starscream's agony.
"Now you wanna run and hide" resembles how in the many times Megatron has been redeemed he has never apologised to the person he influenced and corrupted the most. The exception of this was Earthspark but even then Megatron was warning everyone how Starscream is worse than he ever was. He showed care for the other decepticons well being yet was inconsiderate of Starscream's. He's too scared to face the truth of his actions or view it as important to his path to peace, therefore hiding himself from his second in command as if everything will be dropped and sorted out.
The point is- Starscream should be accountable for his actions only if Megatron will be as well and if we brush everything he's done then we should do the same for Starscream. Yet Megatron should still face him either way if he truly is a "good guy". Starscream deserves that closure even though he thinks that killing and taking his place will ease everything it wouldn't.
We as a society don't talk about Starscream calling cliffjumper papa in that one G1 episode enough.
Heck I'll even try to learn how to write a story out of this.
Short as hell dad and their tall ass son is my new favourite trope now.
Not even a trope I'm making this up with 4h sleep all week so I'll probably make a crack meme of this. If I remember. I'll probably not even remember writing this. (By not even a trope I just mean not exactly common in media and if it is they are like background characters not in rl)
I swear if Skybound make it clear that Megatron is a victim and uses it to excuse his actions and they do that for the rest of the characters
They're probably not going to do it for Starscream knowing Hasbro they'd stop anything like that from happening
Which pisses me off cause yeah Starscream is also an abuser but that's due to abuse. Megatron is literally like that but his abuse to Starscream is generational and he still gets redeemed.
Like make it make sense Hasbro.
Me when I finally draw again for a week.
School is a pain and tests are worse but I have this guy to keep me going (he's telling me to kms(he's not even real I'm imagining things)
Windblade: Okay Starscream what have we learnt today
Starscream: Being a narcissist is wrong
Bumblebee: FINALLY WE D-
Starscream: Cause only I'm allowed to be one
Bumblebee & Windblade: Ffrrrraaaaaaggg
Anyway here's a shitty meme I made
