I'm not going to comment on every single file needing the Optional, but they should target the object that they need. For example, embeds should be Optional[Union[Embed, List[Embed]] and vice versa.

But i can't import it due to circular import

And if I'd put it there without having it imported I'd not pass the pre-commit

How are you hitting circular imports?
Additionally, if there is no way for you to realistically import it, set the type annotation with a string. "Embed" can also suffice.

Message is importing Channel and member, so I can't import Embed from Message

ok, I'll do that
