yvannairie | Come to think of it I should finish my Miko essay too

Honestly I'll probably write a whole essay about how loveable and wonderful and well-designed and well-performed Ajna is in the near future but for now I'm just kind of. Crying about the fact that not only is Ajna what would happen if Miko was raised by Bulkhead and Wheeljack, just like Miko Ajna is a character that might on paper and in the script annoy me and feel dislikeable but in full-colour and motion, she just has this humanity that makes her absolutely loveable to her core.

I'm on record with my delight that the TF fandom overall views Miko favourably because every rewatch I fall in love with her a little more and Ajna is just so, so similar, but more lush and lovely and... "nuanced" is the wrong word, really, because part of Ajna's appeal is the sheer excessiveness of her personality, how she gets to be big, loud, funny, flawed in big and loud ways. Like, I want to cry, because not once does she told she needs to shut up or make herself smaller or neater or prettier, she just gets to be and all anyone ever tells her about it is to apply herself more constructively.

Ajna sends me into an absolute flurry of positive emotions and it's so hard to put them all into words because at the end of it all I'm just like "*inhales* I would kill for her"
