As a small step towards remembering how to express myself non-fictionally, a new meme-like thing:

Give me a topic, preferably a fannish topic that I would be likely to have something to say about, and I will attempt to write you a few paragraphs of meta on what I think about the subject.

Oh, Hot Rod. So innocent. So cute. So totally unaware of all the slag that's going to happen to him XD For the most part, I don't count the brief, regrettable fourth season as canon, but I like it just for how happy Hot Rod is. It's good to see that he's still capable of it.

His issues are pretty kinkable, aren't they? I've never managed to wrap my head around him and Magnus. Ultra Magnus is a fascinating character, but I can't help seeing him as totally vanilla. And my headcanon Rodimus sees him more as a Grown Up with Capital Letters than as a sexytimes partner.

I'm kind of fascinated by post-S3 Hot Rod--not so much in S4 in particular, which is mostly really unfortunate, but there are so many interesting things to do with him now he's no longer Prime, but has been Prime, so he has the experiences and issues that Rodimus does.

Like putting him in the berth with Galvatron. *predictable!*

I see Magnus as pretty vanilla and also pretty subby, which means he and Rodimus are kind of a trainwreck, but the kind of trainwreck that I kind of adore. Magnus trying to give Rodimus what he needs, even if it's, like, a whipping, is really hot to me, and I'm also fond of them fighting over who has to top. (I haven't really written it in fic, but I do RP them a lot in chat.)

My headcanon Roddy sometimes thinks of him as a sexless Grown Up superior and sometimes (as Hot Rod) thinks of him as a hot forbidden challenge who he should totally seduce. :D

Ah, hot for teacher, huh? (Or counselor. With his combination of wholesome love for order, compulsive need to give advice, and talent for calm and accepting listening, Ultra Magnus is the most school counselor-like robot I have ever encountered)

Hot for Commander, anyway!

(...and now I have a bizarre image of Magnus trying to convince Roddy to apply to college and MAKE SOMETHING OF HIMSELF. And not drop out and start a heavy metal band like Springer did!)

Yes. And he thinks Hot Rod and First Aid should be study buddies, because they have a lot to teach each other about Believing In Yourself.

(And maybe hanging out with a medic will convince Hot Rod that driving really fast to the top of tall things and jumping off of them is not a viable career path)
