Re: 10

No no, that's kind of my point. I don't go looking for fics/art/whatever for that pairing, but I'm still seeing it everywhere, like here where I'm just happily scrolling through and then UH OH! For a bit more clarification, it's not the slash specifically that's making me cranky, it's that I didn't pick up any of the apparent overflowing gayness that Sam and Bumblebee have for each other in the movie.

I totally get your comment, I probably worded myself terribly in the initial comment because I wasn't actually trying to be serious in the first place. But now here I am trying to defend myself regarding a toy franchise and the gay love between a boy and his robot.

EEEEEE WHEELJACK F:LFKLJKL

...er, sorry. *cough*

Anyway, I'm usually pretty easy-going with justifications for my slash pairings, but "bestest friend ever" vibes will forever be easily turned into "sexin' like wild monkeys" vibes, so Bee/Sam didn't seem as far a jump as some pairings I've seen. Some things just bother me like that seems to bother you though, so I sympathize somewhat.

Ahahaha, yes, sorry for RUNNING IN TO ATTAAAACK, but then I got a Wheeljack-icon'ed response out of the deal, so I have no regrets. \o/

If Wheeljack isn't in a sequel or doesn't get a decent toy, there is something very wrong with the world. He is the SHIT and I'm really happy that someone else knows/likes him. Why doesn't he get any love? HIS EARS LIGHT UP WHEN HE TALKS!

I'm totally used to fandom turning all friendships into wild sexy funtime, but it just boggles my mind that people would seriously take Sam and Bumblebee that way, going from the movie. I mean the cartoons and comics are full of hilarious accidental (or not) gayness, but the movie was just so straight! With lots of explosions! And crushes on girls! Anyway, I'll keep avoiding the worrying fangirls.

Re: 10

[case]

Me'n a friend were having a discussion about that the other day. We first went with "okay, if some sort of attraction exists" to "wait no, if some sort of attraction is even POSSIBLE" to "wait no, if some emotional connection is even POSSIBLE AT ANY GIVEN POINT IN TIME AND SPACE" and ended up with

WORD. Wheeljack is awesome. Geeky inventor 'bots are love. ALSO HIS EARS LIGHT UP YES, why does no one else think that this is a selling point I ask?

*looks at all your icons* ...homg it's like a page full of love and awesome. ♥

I suppose it really got me when I found something saying that the reason that they made Bumblebee mute in the movie was to show that he and Sam's relationship went "beyond words". And Sam's utter shock and horror at seeing Bee get hurt in the last fight and his "I won't leave you" just... Yeah. *belatedly flashes "worrying fangirl" badge*
