Send Smash or Pass + a name and my muse will say if they would smash or pass on that person.

[kytherion]

Yes, and despite being half my size, she takes up 75-80% of the berth when she does that, easily!

(I love her with all my spark so I don't care) Thank you for drawing her! <3

Send me ✏️ for a shitty little scribble of your muse

Even robot cats sleep weird, too.

good job, humans

"You eat human food now?" Soundwave sighs. There is a McDonald's in Europa Port. It's for humans. Rafael says it isn't as good as In-n-Out, and Soundwave is more than willing to take their word for that, because Soundwave does not eat cheeseburgers. Or like cleaning up after sparklings who ate them illicitly.

"Please do not cook human food in my oven."

He has no idea how to cook.

Best he can do is McDonald's.

[kytherion]

"Query: does Rodimus wish to learn to bake or is this a convoluted method of asking Soundwave to do so?"

Sparkthief and Catfish were very excited about the fire.

Soundwave himself is less so.

"Spent six weeks convincing Sparkthief that McDonalds is only for humans. You are not helping."

He has no idea how to cook.

Best he can do is McDonald's.

I must have done something or she would not be making that face

why is she purple

soundwave looking pretty while doing nothing worthy in s2 besides standing next to ravage <3

"Grandmother...you have no more been conquered and won than Ravage has. Love can only be given, freely and without conditions; if it is obtained by coercion, conquest, trickery or combat, it is not love; it is something else, which neither I nor Megatron would want."

Soundwave smiles fondly. "She loved the roses, by the way."

“I want to ask him sometimes if I am not enough of a challenge. I’ve been won. I’ve been conquered. I am a safe harbor and a warm hearth and unconditional.

But that is unkind to both of us. I’m not an object and he loves me.”

[kytherion]

"I know," Soundwave says, with equally fond solemnity. "You are a good bit. I'm glad I found you and even gladder that I was allowed to keep you."

little creature, little creator

it's hard to read the old glyphs sometimes and we all get confused with declensions and suffixes, except Ravi

but I like little creatures - I married one

and now I have all of these sparklings-- I would not want to live in a place without odd noises and messes I don't think I made

that would be lonely

[kytherion]

"All my bitties get treats. Even if they have been naughty and have to repair broken feelings or replace broken possessions. I will always love you, no matter what you do; I just want you all to be kind," Soundwave says firmly.

"I regret that I didn't always think they were people. I couldn't hear them at first, but I finally learned how to listen." Soundwave sighs. "But they used to hate me and they had good cause, and now, somehow, it's me they trust and not Optimus, because he came back here and tried to annex the whole system."

"Happy father's day! I planned a nice dinner for tonight with the whole family. Don't worry I'm not cooking."

"Oh, I could never be a nihilist or a fatalist--and neither could you, apparently." Soundwave takes the red rose, and after a moment's thought, a second one. "Thank you. She likes the red ones. She likes the way they smell...and also the way they taste."

He sighs. "I don't need an all knowing, all powerful god to have faith in the future, faith in the universe: I don't need one to celebrate the seasons and the holy days, which were things I scorned in my youth, because in the Tower where I grew up, all of the celebrations were empty of love. I just need my conjunx, and my children, and my lovers...and my grandmother."

That's a shy little smile, even if you can see it through a blast mask.

"The festivals are for us, because life is what matters, and community. What I believe in is you--and Ravage, first of all, because she and Shocky were the first people who actually cared about me, and Jazz, and Rodimus...and the children. I love you, and I love our lives, and our community, and all the things we do to fix the world we broke, which was also broken before we were born. The divinity is in all of us, knowing the odds are against us and staying alive somehow anyway, because we're together."

“I think… I’ve come to terms with it. Or settled, or— something. It’s not important, is what I’m trying to say. Any divinity, real or imagined, is simply an attribute others put on me.”

Rung moves further into the rose archway, reaching to brush his digits over the fine wafer-thin crystal petals of a heavy bloom. The tips of his fingers come away stained a faint pink with dust, which he stares at for a moment before blowing off. “This is something that matters. The physical proof of life, and the delight we take in it. I cannot prove divinity, but I can prove the results of hard work.”

Soundwave catches him, gives him a big kiss on the cheek, and presents him with the spoon. "I love you," he says, cuddling the bitlet.

"I have made a special dessert for after our dinner with Remix tonight. There are two large spoons with batter on them, and Catfish might lick both of them if you do not make haste."

Will that tempt my hungry creachur, I wonder?

He can not help this.

Sparkthief: needs to come down out of vent and get creacher cuddles.

Soundwave cracks a smile at her. "Even before I got the Bauble," he says, "I always knew that there were parts of me that didn't fit into any of the labels. Male is as close as it gets, for the parts of me that exist in the world and interact with everyone else. Since I really don't care about pronouns, using the most common ones works for me."

He shrugs.

"Besides. I'm literally really complex--I have more cores in my processor than anyone's really supposed to, and sometimes I'm aware of the other worlds out there, which is...not as much fun as it sounds. But honestly? I don't think anyone, of any species, completely fits into those labels.

"The humans are just more confusing than most of us because enough of them have the same gender and interface array combinations that they think they should be able to tell what gender somebody is just by looking."

"Happy father's day! I planned a nice dinner for tonight with the whole family. Don't worry I'm not cooking."

"I just don't want to misgender anyone," Soundwave says. "Ravage and Howlback were 'it' for the first few years of their lives and then 'he'. Ravage put up with that longer than Howlback did, but Howlback was never a spy, and sometimes Ravage is fluid."

He shrugs. "I know Jazz was your carrier...but I don't know how he'd feel about being called 'mother'. Most people assume that they're gendered terms, because humans do this silly thing where they call roles different things if a man or a woman is doing them, never mind that a lot of people don't seem to be either one."

He shrugs again. "Some people, like you, map sire and carrier to father and mother. And for me...it seems like for humans, 'mother' and 'father' are two different jobs. Viridian says Ravi's her mother and I am her mom, and I am her father but Ravi's her dad. And Sparkthief and Catfish both call me Mamawave."

He laughs. "I'm fine with either one, but I don't know how Jazz feels. No-one's ever asked him in front of me, so he's never thought about it in front of me."

"Happy father's day! I planned a nice dinner for tonight with the whole family. Don't worry I'm not cooking."
