… i dunno, it just seems like it works?

So long as I am able feed myself. I am not a pet, nor a child.

sharing food counts as feeding, you know

/will give him a small iced energon cookie in the shape of thundercracker/

*Squints at the cookie, scans it for harmful substances or hidden high-grade, and eats a wing. It isn’t bad.*

…I suppose.

you never told me what loyalty was supposed to mean, megs

Loyalty can be to many things, not always physical. It can be to a leader, to a friend, to a faction- but loyalty to an idea, or to yourself are just as important.

Despite how you may feel about your old faction, you still consider yourself as a Decepticon, because you said that it helped define you, it gave you something to be. Defending that which is important to you is a sort of loyalty in and of itself, no less commendable than any other.

… s’hard being loyal to me when i’m not even sure where the stuff ends and the actual me begins

suppose, in essence, i’m loyal to the idea of the ‘cons and the idea of me

which i guess works too

but what happens when you don’t even have the idea??

Create something. Find one thing to dedicate yourself to, or at the very least, something that you care enough about to keep going. If the universe won’t give you one, then make one for yourself. To accept that there is nothing in your life that you can pledge yourself to, not even your own spark, is to truly concede defeat.

Loyalty and conviction are admirable traits, and often more valuable than ferocity.

… i dunno about those either, honestly

i abandoned my decepticons

the only time i’ve stood up for them is when people are saying i’m not one and they’re probably right but it’s like

i feel like these brands have been on me since creation, even though it was a couple million in. i been fighting the system before, i was just given a gun and a mission statement 

it’s like… what’s that word for when you come to love your captor cause they don’t abuse you quite so much?

… I was not referring to your relation to whatever faction you may have left. You could have chosen to remove your brands, yet there they remain. You defend the fact that you are a Decepticon, why? For the glory of the leader you cower from? Being a Decepticon must mean something more to you than knowing who to shoot at. Define that.
