Ofc the first thing I post is Echo Garden fanart lmao
Tumblr media
You can tell I was trying to figure out how to draw both Rodimus and Soundwave while working on this (I’ve never drawn TFP Soundwave and I haven’t draw Rodimus all that much)
This contains scenes from @altraviolet ‘s SoundRod fic “The Echo Garden”! If you haven’t read it I really recommend it, it’s one of my favorite fics

Grove Guardian's Revenge: A Gif Analysis
Tumblr media
Pissing him off so you don't have to.
Obligatory slowed version of The Walk to get us started. If you haven't seen it before, you're welcome.
Tumblr media
He's so angry and so right to be angry. For a hundred years, he has defended the Grove at great personal cost. Before it was established, he saw the deaths of his friends, peers, mentor; his support circle crumbled in a single day.
Tumblr media
Not only did his mentor fall, he had to slay his mentor's shade in the aftermath in order to lay him to rest. This is the final release canon origin for the Sorrow glaive, but the early-access version is even more heart-wrenching. Either version, the mantle of first druid / arch-druid is thrust upon his unprepared shoulders; alone and without confidantes or peers, he shouldered the load and kept going.
In his diary, we see that he thought he'd found hope of a cure for the Shadow Curse, which was what he was pursuing when the goblins captured him. "The first hope in a century" if I'm remembering correctly.
From there, he meets you - a second hope of salvation. And then... this. The ultimate betrayal and the end of the Grove, of everything he's protected for so long.
We rarely see Halsin using his size to intimidate; even when he rips Kagha a new one in the conversation about the Rite of Thorns, regardless of whether or not he throws her out.
He uses his size as threat now... as he should. He's here to kill you.
Tumblr media
And if it's not active intimidation, then what we might be seeing here is him reining in his temper - choosing to have a conversation before acting.
He's facing Tav when he storms up; as he starts to talk, he angles himself a little away from them. We'll see that more in a second.
"I thought you'd help me. I thought we'd help eachother - instead you chose this."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Controlled calm slipping into justified anger. Again, that blink-and-you'll miss it detail of an emotion, just amazing work by Larian.
"The grove stood for generations. It was our link to Silvanus. Not, it’s nothing but blood and ashes - thanks to you."
Tumblr media
Let's slow it down and get closer, really soak in the tiny details embedded in this scene.
Watch the first part below at half speed, watch his face twist into disgust and pain. Watch him physically turn away from you in anger and loathing. He's not looking at Tav anymore, he's seeing something else instead. Some memory of the Grove, whether a happy one or a more recent, bloodstained one, we're left to guess.
Tumblr media
Anger turns into sorrow - he lifts his eyes in a silent prayer as he speaks, then hangs his head in heavy, tired despair. It doesn't drag his features down yet; he's still too angry under all that pain.
Tumblr media
A tiny, miserable moment of memory and suffering....
...before sorrow turns back into anger, when he comes back to the present. That second blink of anger when he comes back to himself, out of whatever memory he was replaying in that moment. He turns back to you and rage crowds back into his face.
Tumblr media
He's already made his choice... but he's about to give Tav a chance to speak for their actions anyway. While the role of arch-druid might have been thrust onto his unprepared shoulders unexpectedly a hundred years before, he has grown immensely since then. Despite his justified rage, he reacts wisely, seeking to understand before seeking vengeance.
Tell me… was it worth it? 
Tumblr media
He's furious, rightfully so, but there's still a genuine question under that rage. The split-second look of curiousity before the rage takes over his features once more.
Tumblr media
Was there a meaning to this sacrifice? Was it done for a purpose or was it all just as cruel and wanton of a betrayal as it seemed?
Tumblr media
Even as anger and hatred take over his face once more, he gives you a chance to speak for yourself.
There are four options.
Option 1: Of course - I did what I had to do. Your grove was in the way. 
Tumblr media
"You have no idea what you’ve done, do you? Or perhaps you simply don’t care?"
First, the genuine sadness and disbelief as he says "You have no idea what you’ve done, do you?"
Tumblr media
Then, the anger of "Or perhaps you simply don’t care?"
Tumblr media
Sadness and sorrow into fucking rage. Both are so poignant and beautifully done. Round of applause for Larian, god(s)damn.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first three options all end the same way, so we'll cut right to Option 2 and save that glorious closing gif for the end.
Option 2: "I’m sorry. I had no choice." 
Tumblr media
"There’s always a choice - but you have made yours. Now I make mine."
Look at the disgust... the way he squeezes his eyes shut as he says "There’s always a choice". He knows. He's made hard choices, at great personal cost.
The way he says it with his head down, his nostrils flared in disgust and anger, and doesn't open his eyes as he turns his head to face Tav. He doesn't open his eyes until the last instant, both saddened and repulsed by Tav and their actions.
Tumblr media
Then, when he's looking into Tav's eyes, the anger and hatred set in again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Let's cut to Option 3.
Option 3: "Calm down. Come sit by the fire and we can talk this over."
Tumblr media
"There’s nothing left to be said. My mercy died when I saw the grove."
Pretty much directly into the rage with this one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And honestly, I don't think anyone could blame him? The balls to aid in the massacre of everyone he cares about, then to hit him with "Calm down. Come sit by the fire and we can talk this over" once he confronts you and gives you a chance to explain yourself?
Nope. Game over, buddy. (Well...)
The four option is simply to attack; all four options lead to a fight to the death. The first three options all end the same way;
"You have upended nature’s balance. Only your death can restore it!"
Tumblr media
Slower? Okay.

TBB show has made it canon that both Crosshair and Echo are the reason the bad batch has survived for so long.
Which is really ironic.
The snarky toothpick and who hates regs and the walking republic manual are the two most competent soldiers of the craziest commando squad. They literally cannot be more opposite.
But, ya know, opposites attract.

I pray, despite how I've wronged you, I am not beyond forgiveness.
Is it selfish to wish I could try again?
Is it true that our accursed blood is stronger than water?
Do you still hold any love for me in your heart?
I hope you hear me when I tell you I am sorry.

Ahhhh! I'm so freaking stoked!
So I had this idea about the ending of Kamino Lost, when Crosshair is left behind on the platform. A sort of 'what if', if you will.
When the Marauder first finds the platform, the Batch have to activate it by hovering over it incredibly low to the water, and get it to rise up.
But what happens when the ship leaves the platform at the end? Logic would dictate that, without the weight of the ship and the pressure on it, the platform would simply sink again, right?
And so, I present, said 'what if' in art form by the amazing @toastyrobos below!
Tumblr media
I am beyond thrilled at this art, and a huge thanks again to @toastyrobos for accepting it! Please go get your own commission! It was so fast and I was kept up to date throughout the process and I just love it!
