Potential.

Every dead soul was once a living organism. Plants, trees, animals and people in Soul Society were all once alive. Humans in particular were created in such a way that their potential spanned out before them, if only they had the courage and power to grasp it.

Upon death, a human soul can go one of two ways: locking away their rationality, decision-making capacity and ability to say no, stop, enough, for the gain of power, the retention of growth and evolution; or, excising their potential, their ability for growth and power and ability to become more in such a way that allows them to keep their mind and individual thoughts.

According to shinigami, who in many ways don't understand or even know the meaning of potential, this is the difference between a soul that passes on, or a soul that hollowfies.

The true difference in them, is that a "plus" soul or Shinigami has cut out and/or eroded away their power of progress, in a way that is subtle enough not to be noticed; but, in hindsight or from the viewpoint of a foreign intelligent being, is all too clear and unsettling. A Hollow, meanwhile, has changes that are so obvious as to mark them as an entirely different species, even though they aren't; they trade their higher minds - temporarily - to keep the ability to grow and change and evolve to greater strengths and appearances. And the stronger they get, the closer a resemblance they achieve to their original form: the human one. This, after all, is how Vasto Lorde are born, and they are frighteningly similar to humans in so many ways.

Of the two types of soul, Hollows are the ones who, in the end, have the opportunity to truly become "human" again - albeit, without a physical body.

Shinigami, meanwhile, are stuck; their souls find comfort, an equilibrium, and simply stop there. They have a set amount of power, conforming most often in a 100:1 ratio to what they had as humans (and even that only partially accessible without training), and no more than this. By cutting off their growth capacity, so they have limited themselves to remaining as a fraction or less of what they once were, or could have become.

When attempting to create a hybrid, a Vizard, the process was likened by Aizen to knocking down the barriers between Shinigami power and Hollow power. I, however, hold with a... mildly different hypothesis.

I suspect that Aizen may simply have returned to those Shinigami their own potential for growth.

Anyways autistic Megatron

Destroying stuff is his stim

Like he really enjoys crushing plastic, metal and all that shit

It feels very good to him

When Starscream takes control of the Nemesis, it's because half of the time Megatron just. Can't do anything for the time being

He spends at least once every week just. lying on the floor

After lunch, it's floor time bitches

Interrupt his floor time and you get a laser to the spark

Is he really really good at his speeches still? Yes

But get him to do small talk and he is. The worst at talking

The speeches comes from his heart, actual talking really doesn't

One things he likes about human culture are those stimboard moodboards

The mines were far more acceptful of stims, no-one really cared and they probably stimmed with him

But the gladiator pits meant the higher ups were watching him, so he couldn't stim as much

Even if he hates it, he can't help but repress his stims in fear of being punished

The only person he can do it freely to is Soundwave <3

He finds out about Autism Speaks and immediately the place is burned down <3

He had enough shit on Cybertron, and even if Earth is not his favourite planet in the world, he is not gonna let them deal with the same shit he had to

His feelings on eye contact regularly changes

One some days, he is staring right at you and making Starscream feel very threatened

Sometimes, he will not look at you and Starscream becomes worried he did something wrong

You know all of that really rich food??? Like, rich in texture??? Yeah he hates that

He has that tendency to scrape his hands over Bad Feeling Surface and then the bad Feeling is in his teeth

His claws just make it worse for him

Pls let him crack his joints

He probably has a few comfort toys from some friends in the mines and by Soundwave

I don't think employers should be legally allowed to ask anyone to dress up for interviews. I should be able to walk in off the street in jeans, sneakers, and a T-shirt and interview for jobs because employers are supposed to be interviewing me and my skills, training, education, and experience, not the nicest clothes in my closet.

It's discriminatory towards poor people to ask otherwise.

It's also just fucking audacious to demand that the people you need to provide the labor to keep your workplace going put on a suit and dance around like a trained monkey before you've even hired them.

Bro abby is literally the human version of ">:3"

I mean LOOK AT HER
