"If Megatron Has One Weakness, It's His Inability To Grant Starscream The Respect He Deserves, Not For

"If Megatron has one weakness, it's his inability to grant Starscream the respect he deserves, not for his considerable abilities or his cold-blooded ruthlessness, but for his dogged refusal to cease making attempts to wrest power from Megatron. Starscream isn't really even smart enough to make a secret of his ambition, and his vanity won't tolerate anything less than total command. Guile and treachery are his undoubted talents, but he lacks the patience for a a truly grandiose power play."

Tara Markov as a tragic character

my idea was Starscream taking his bf glorious leader out to a date in planetarium and going 'ME AND YOU???777<3333333' at one of the exhibits

When your nemesis doesn't want your undivided attention anymore :(

This a scene in a fic on ao3 by @distort-opia called "falls the shadow"

it's a very serious scene full of confusion and sadness and angst but I kept laughing thinking about this man not handling rejection well

Stage 6: Maintaining Control

Once sexual abuse is occurring, perpetrators commonly use secrecy, blame, and threats to maintain the child’s participation and continued silence. In order to maintain control, perpetrators use emotional manipulation; they make the child believe they are the only person who can meet their emotional and material needs. The child may feel that the loss of the relationship, or the consequences of exposing it, will be more damaging and humiliating than continuing the unhealthy relationship.
