Me explaining Armada Starscream and Megatron being the biggest version of how they are like a father and son but obviously abusive.
My Dad: They should get married.
Me: Did you not hear what I said. First of all I was saying how Megatron is like an abusive adoptive father. And it's really abusive. What?
Dad: Yeah they should get married and kiss.
Me in utter horror trying to change the subject away: So you know Soundwave he's my second favouri---
Dad: He's their son whose spoilt.
And I'm currently choking on air and I tried changing the subject again: You know Starscream has heels
Dad: No he doesn't
And then I show him and he goes: So he is definitely the wife. -or SMT
So yeah my dad ships megastar or megstar idk and somewhere in the relationship he did agree with it being toxic but ig he likes it. But he also calls them both chickens.
I don't agree with this the only time I interact with the ship is if Starscream looks really nice in the drawing which is unfortunately a lot cause ppl draw too good to not like
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.
