I'm gonna throw this theory out here and see how it lives through the upcoming crk updates
I already speculated that each of the Beasts are representing different type of dread: Mystic Flour, for instance, is as creepy as the wraith from the old abandoned castle (or temple) can be – she is someone you're afraid to meet alone in the dark, out of anyone's reach. Burning Spice, on the other hand, is terrifying as the foe on the battlefield can be – someone clearly too powerful for you to stand a chance against, and someone who can and will bring you the long and painful destruction. Now, two other Beasts we haven't met yet, but I imagine they can represent something similar. Since Eternal Sugar represents sloth, I think, their type of fear would be fear to once discover yourself in their situation – bored and tired of life, having nothing to amuse yourself with anymore and dragging everyone around you with yourself. Silent Salt might be similar, but not completely: I imagine, they would represent fear of becoming like them, isolated and completely devoid of any human interaction in one's life, possibly even viewing connections and friendships as lower and inferior to their grandiose self.
Finally, Shadow Milk, whom we've met first and who isn't particularly scary at the first sight – silly and goofy, rather, but not terrifying – I think can represent fear of being someone you're afraid your loved ones could turn into. Giving how he's already betrayed Elder Faerie and stuff akhem-
But that's just my take, I don't know if it turns out to be correct in the end.
I just so love it when people try to call trans people «transformers🤪» as an insult as if the transformers fandom wasn't one of the most diverse and inclusive and had the entire lore built on LGBTQ rep (I can't even think of any continuity that didn't have it implied that gender- and sexuality diversity is canon, like they're alien robots why would they even identify with our «traditional» definitions in the first place, that doesn't even make sense-)
sportacus vs homelander
No shade to daddy Stoker but I find it sad that now every story about vampires set in Slavoland is doomed be a Dracula rip-off regardless of whether you actually are from the region or not and because of what? Because of some dudes from Hollywood across the ocean who probably think ussr is still a thing god forbid and that Romanians and Polish are the same

seasoned transformers fans waiting to explain 40 years worth of lore to a tf1 new fan who asks the name of a random bot standing in a crowd scene
WOW IT'S GORGEOUS
So...
I wrote a 41 page fanfiction about ShadowFaerie (which was originally intended to be a 3-4 mini 💀), how they started being together, how they... uh, let's say, «parted ways» and how did Elder Faerie spend his entire life after Shadow Milk's imprisonment. Very emotional, sometimes disturbing (that's why it's rated R, because of violence) and absolutely incomprehensible to read.
I just didn't post it on AO3 because I'm not sure about it at all and I need to have some time to translate it to English. I'm just not sure if it will add another proof of this ship being toxic. Just needed to get it out of my system, nwm.
I love ships that are like. I'm broken. I'm a broken person. I'm flawed, and damaged. You're broken too. I see your flaws and your damage. And you see mine. And I can't fix you. And you can't fix me. It's far too late for either of us, and we're both too damaged to fix anyone anyway. But perhaps we could be broken together. Perhaps if I hold you, and you hold me, we can hold each other together and we won't break any further. Perhaps if we do break then we'll break together, and be one big mess that can't be separated, for someone else to clean up. Perhaps that would make it all bearable.
Look I'm sorry I don't know how did I come up with this idea but- now I want VTMB update in Kingdom
My friends cringed so bad at what I'm about to say, and idk if anybody said it before, but please, hear me out:
Madeleine and Espresso look like Achilles and Patroclus, I'm sorry-
