[image: 4 panel fancomic of Drift in different eras visualizing/remembering Ratchet.

Young Drift remembers Young Ratchet, who says “Take care!” with a soft smile on his face. Drift’s crying with his hands on his face and a bandaid on his helm “I met an angel today!”

Deadlock visualizes early-war Ratchet, who says: “Didn’t think we’d meet like this but I’m glad you’re okay.” Deadlock steams. “What the fuck is wrong with him? Like he cares.”

Drift visualizes late-war Ratchet, who says: “Good to have you on this side.” Drift smiles happily “Still too kind for his own good I see…”

mtmte era Ratchet sticks his middle finger up, radiating fury. Drift sweats in confusion, little shocked question marks floating around him.

I really love these little hand gestures Ratchet keeps making for a couple of reasons:

1. they didn’t HAVE to include them – it’s not essential to the scene, just makes it better, and I’m really thankful for the work and effort the animators put into this show.

2. they make the robots seem far more alive and human and the emotions seem so much more real.

and the personal ones:

3. I’m Jewish. and Jewish people speak with their hands. A LOT. and I’m definitely no exception…(I know not only Jews do it but c’mon, let me have this)

4. I just really love Ratchet and almost everything about him makes me unreasonably happy💞

it’s so awkward when you accidentally use an expression that’s kind of an inside joke in your family with people who don’t know it… 

like I just told my friends “my dad was cut by the Nazi yesterday” and it took me a moment to realize why they looked so horrified…

This is almost as bad as that time I offered my friend some poison to drink…
