Remember when Steven Universe almost ended over Ruby and Sapphire’s wedding, but when the network understood how popular it was they continued the series for a movie and a spin-off?

And then She-ra was able to capitalize off of that success and get approved to have Adora and Catra kiss and end up together at the end of the series?

And then The Owl House was able to capitalize off of that success and was allowed to have Luz and Amity be canon love interests from season one?

And in the meantime there was show after show featuring queer main and side characters to rave reviews and success?

And we all thought, this is it. The domino effect is working. We’re making progress. And animation was the industry with the most and some of the best queer representation in all of visual media and it was only growing?

And then The Owl House got canceled with nothing to replace it. And Kipo and OK KO and Dead End and every other queer-inclusive show that had popped up in the meantime all ended quickly or were canceled with nothing new to fill their holes.

And now we have nothing left. And the trend that had been escalating for the past 10 years to create a golden age of queer animation has seemingly been shot dead with nothing to show for it.

Remember that?

She's been defending the Earth since the early 90s and she's very tired.

If anyone makes a fanfic of this, tell me. I need to read it.

This is some VERY old barn husbands doodle like I think around December 2022 so please don’t mind the old art style 😭😭 but I remember having the idea of drawing Earthspark Cade and Optimus,,,

because I feel like it would just be so. FUNNY to have the LEADER OF THE AUTOBOTS develop a huge crush on this AverageTM mechanic guy living about his life. Like he just sees him around Witwicky while scouting the area and gets so mesmerized, he crashes into a Tree. and Megatron starts taking notice and makes fun of him for it.

Imagine:

“You know, when you said you would ally with the humans I didn’t know it would’ve gone so far as to fall in lov-“

“SHUT THE FUCK UP”

Or maybe

“Maybe he would like you back.”

“No, he wouldn’t and besides, we have different lives, different jobs… it just wouldn’t work. He has a daughter and probably a wife so-“

“She’s dead.” “REALLY?! I mean- really? Wow, that is absolutely terrible.”

Like do yOU SEE THE VISION!!!

Also like their first meeting could be the Terrans eventually get involved in something and end up in his backyard (he lives in the country side of witwicky, not in town) and he helps them. And when he helps them back home or something, Optimus sees him and like, Freezes before thanking him (poorly) (hes stuttering like hell) and Cade is like, “no problem! Yk, this might sound real corny but I’m a big fan of you and your team.” all sweet and embarrassed but OP is just like Freaking. Tf. Out. (Internally) LIKE!!!! imagine!!!!!

The Terrans have like no clue and think nothing of it but Dot looks up and Megatron and he just Nods, smiling. Bumblebee just has a midlife crisis thinking about how he might have a Dad2.
