It's not working out, mun

I can't do it. You're trying to change me for the Wake, to make me "grow" and "ascend", and you're turning me into someone else. I don't know who that is, but it's not Dead End. I am not Menasor, and I don't wish to have Menasor's mind 24/7. You've already taken away my trademark fatalism, though you do periodically leave me my depression--oh, thanks so much.

This is the second time you've tried to make me fit in the Wake, and it's still not working. You keep thinking you can recapture the grand old days of the Nexus RP, but there was one important difference--you were writing the entire team. It's your head-canon, but I dare say it's pretty spot on--all of our personalities and insanities are balanced against each other, making us a team. None of us work well alone, and I am probably the worst. You do realize that as the team's black pit of despair and apathy, I balance out the hyperactive maniacs? By myself, I'm just a black pit of despair who has no interest in doing anything. This not make for very exciting roleplay.

Really, look at that story arc you're so pleased with from the Truce-verse where I and Drag Strip travelled on Octane's starship with Vortex and Swindle and assorted Autobots. I had your Drag Strip to work with. And the Combaticons, who are almost as maladjusted as ourselves.

We just don't work in rule-bound RPs, where you have to app one character at a time/per fandom/etc and avoid 'muncest' and all that nonsense. Combiner teams are best played by one mun, in my opinion. On top of that, certain Stunticons do not play well in games with 'play nice' rules--but then, the same could be said of Megatron, so it's probably irrelevant for me to complain about that in a game that welcomes Transformers.

So stop it. Stop trying to merge their personalities into mine and make me into someone I'm not. If I have to drop out of that world and go back to my extremely sucky canon history, so be it. Better yet, go back to writing stories about us. Existence is tolerable in that universe.
