Its a crisis of lost words. Its strange, i never thought I would be one of those people who dont have something to say. I cant quite turn the phrase anymore. Im missing the dick and balls of the story. I think Im looking for a white elephant.

So instead of worrying what to say, and what not to say, and hyping every decision, and reacting badly to changes, Im gonna learn to move with the times, embrace change as its happening, not when its too late. I must learn to transform who I am into a springboard for who I want to be. And maybe when I hit into this new pool, I will leave myself behind on the spring board.
The planet Cybertron is inhabited by robotic lifeforms called Transformers. The Transformers are split into political or ideological factions, and have been at war with each other for a very long time. Millions of years, in most of the stories. The factions are usually called Autobots (good guys) and Decepticons (bad guys), but not always.
Many Transformers stories involve an evil, all-powerful being called Unicron. Unicron is titanically enormous: he has a humanoid robot form like the Transformers do, but his other form is a planet. A whole planet. And he eats other planets. In some stories there is a dichotomy between Unicron and a being called Primus. In stories where he exists, Primus is the creator-god of the Transformer race, and is the eternal enemy of Unicron.
In nearly every series of Transformers there has been an Optimus Prime (good) and a Megatron (bad). Although characters with these names keep showing up, they are not always the same characters. They usually have similarities, but even the extent of that similarity varies. It trades on our preconceptions. Prime is "good". Megatron is "bad", and this doesnt change. While every aspect of their characters change our conceptions of who is good and who is evil never does. Megatron is occasionally a heroic loser, helpless as a plaything of Unicron, occasionally he stands up to the Gods themselves in a heroic last battle he knows he has no hope of winning. He has within himself the power for great sympathy, he is a fantastic tactical leader. He is a better orator, and his troops are motivated and are all willing to die for him.
I guess what I am trying to say is that Megatron has changed every aspect of his character again and again to become a true gladiator worthy of respect. But despite his transformation (Even his body and voice changed) He will never change our pre-conceived ideas about megatron.

It was great up to this bit: "yes, you have wronged, but you are trying to be a better person, and even if you never get there, your quest is worthy."
I kinda vomited in my mouth a little bit.
