[BEEP]

This is Hashtag! Sorry you missed me. Drop me a line--[There's a soft giggle there and whispered "I can't believe I got to say that..."]--and I'll get back to you.

Ciao!

text un primetime

[emojibot]

Good morning, Hashtag. Look what I've found!


[his delight is almost literally palpable through the text.]

[hashtaggayrobots]

SO CUTE.

u have to show these to megs if he shows up
#4 is so u

[emojibot]

They're in disguise!
I do enjoy rainbows. It's a phenomenon unique to Earth! We had nothing similar that formed naturally on Cybertron.

[hashtaggayrobots]

SEND THEM ALL TO ME
they are the cutest
i need them
u need all the rainbows
rainbow prime

we should paint u in a rainbow

[emojibot]

[instead of sending them individually, optimus sends her a link to the program he used to mix them together. she is welcome to imagine him happily tapping away and trying all the combinations because she would not be wrong! elita has managed to inspire some good habits in him over the millenia; taking a break from work when he gets to the point of reading the same sentence over and over instead of forcing himself forward is one of them.]

Changing my paint to renew my image after a decade or two was floated a few times, but I'm happy with the colours I have.
However, I will not reject any rainbow-related paraphernalia you find.

[clearly all 3 terrans should purchase paintball guns and... well, the rest is pretty clear from there.]

[hashtaggayrobots]

loving yourself is always IMPORTANT
be proud of who u are always right
but changing it up for a while isnt bad
think of temporary paints
they'd wash off!
like mom dressing up for a night out with dad

[She is wondering if he's misunderstanding her or if this is how adults talk about Pride. Rainbows and celebrating yourself and who you love no matter what people think is generally the vibe she's gotten about it so of course Optimus fits that to a T! Considering how he and Megatron touch each other all the time and Megatron asks about him when he's not around...

Maybe Cybertronians do it differently? But then why the robot with the rainbow???

Maybe it's just strange for him when Megatron isn't around. He did admit to missing him (and Elita, but of course he would, she's his best friend) and maybe thinking about things like this isn't the same when your husband isn't around. Dad gets like that sometimes when he misses mom and she's still at work, but usually it leads to him cooking something she likes or writing her love notes he hides around the farm...]

i'm gonna get you all the rainbow decals if you let me
all that free real estate

[emojibot]

[optimus isn't even remotely on the same page as hashtag is with her meaning-- while he isn't unaware of the human pride celebrations, it's never something he's really applied to himself. on top of that, he wouldn't think to mentally apply it to his very platonic relationship with megatron!]

If it's temporary paint then maybe you can. Just not on the face, please.

[he says this only because he's foolishly and naively certain the terrans could not get any temporary paint. completely unaware of nightshade's scientific abilities combined with the many people on the ship who would probably pay for the paint themselves just so he could get a faceful of it. clown robot emoji.]

[hashtaggayrobots]

of course not
the mask needs a special touch
u cant just put anything on it!
face tattoos arent that in right now anyway.

[She is already plotting for how she can get all of the paint she needs. Do not doubt her skills, Hashtag has all the time in the work and a too much motivation.]

[emojibot]

You may have one inch of space on my mask.

[he is willing to acquiesce that much.]

By the way, I didn't get a chance to tell you my thoughts on the movies. I have written them up, because I felt inspired.

[optimus pings the file over-- judging by the edit time, some demon possessed him to write a 120k word analysis of kung fu panda at three in the space morning. it is very thorough. it's pretty good? optimus clearly felt quite impassioned about it.]

[hashtaggayrobots]

[Give an inch, she's gonna take a whole mile on that thing. But she is way more focused on the massive film analysis dissertation he just dropped into her lap. It's huge, overwhelming, and also the most amazing thing she's ever seen.]

OMG

THIS IS SO COOL I KNEW ONE OF THESE MOVIES WOULD HAVE AN IMPACT
I CANT BELIEVE U DID THIS
I HAVE TO READ IT ALL RIGHT NOW

[emojibot]

[it's a tragedy she isn't in the room with him right now, because when he sees her use the octopus emoji his finials shift up and down a few times happily. it will take a miracle for her to see this phenomenon in person.]

I hope you enjoy.
I did a lot of research on the topic of critically analysing movies. I can share that with you, too.

[hashtaggayrobots]

op u are going to become my go-to movie critique
best be ready for my next movie night
its gonna be a monster movie night
for fun
everyone can laugh
or cry
scary movies ya know

[emojibot]

I'm more than happy to attend any movie night with you and Twitch.
A monster movie night!
Is that much different from Pacific Rim and Godzilla?

[hashtaggayrobots]

yes!
really more horror-monster movies instead of regular sci-fi or fantasy monster movies
they are about the fear and the unknown
or murder
a lot of people die in horror movies

[emojibot]

Is that really what people want to see?
We should get you and the other Terrans to the drive in theatre near Witwicky when we get back.
That sounds like it would be an enjoyable evening.
