“So apparently there’s some sort of thing going on where some Starscream fragged a rat of some sort?”

“I don’t know what that’s about but heh, sounds amusing at least!”

“Also sounds chaotic as hell.”

[lightning-speed-bug]

Well anyone would enjoy that, maybe Drift would like to come to his universe one day, that could be fun. Reminder to bring a lot of energon for himself though. regardless, the small bot would love that! It would be pretty funny as well, if they saw how skillful he'd get with the training. "Ah, I apologize bout that! You know, this universe stuff is kinda crazy and all. But it's good you changed for the better it seems! And I bet he does! I bet he's watching you right now if anything! And I'm certain that he will welcome you with open arms! If I know anything about my Ratchet, he secretly does really care for others, even with that grumpy shell!" The bot said with a happy smile, quite the excitable thing he was. Not to many bots were like that anymore over here. "I mean I'd be happy to talk about it if you are willing to hear, though it may take a bit of explaining heh! I wouldn't mind it, I'll think of it as...some sort of vacation so to speak! But well, I'm glad that it's been slowing down for you guys at least! Despite that though it is nice, we even caught a few of the Decepticon's to and all, would you believe that we caught Megatron? Eh I don't think it will be forever though, he has to have something planned..." The small bot admitted, but he shook his helm at the thought. But he smiled seeing he got the others name correct. It really was quite pretty, rather clean to. Cleaner then their own base at times, he'd have to try to remember that. And the plants were quite something, some he hadn't seen before. Probably cause, different universe thing and all. Though Bumblebee noticed the lack of blasters, replaced with swords, and he made a tiny curious sound. "Well Drift, your place seems really nice, and I couldn't help but to notice the swords." The little yellow mech said softly, looking more curious then ever.

@lightning-speed-bug

Drift looked worried when he heard the other say that. The little yellow bot looked young. He could tell the other was an adult; after all, he hadn't seen a super young member of his own kind in his whole life. He was surprised to have found the other lost so close to his home; he was back to take a break and refuel between journies.

"Well, don't worry, I can help you. What's your name? I'm Drift, and you are close to my home, so if you need anything, I can help you with that." He asked, the concern apparent on his face.

Emptiness Machine

Starscream X Reader (Mech Pilot AU)

Author note: Hey everyone I’m so so sorry it’s been so long. This has been the worst three weeks of my life. Currently staying with my dad and having to see what exactly happens going forward. That aside please enjoy chapter 9 of emptiness machine! And thank you for your patience. ❤️

Chapter 9

The crushing hug the scout had you in nearly cracked the brand new welds that had been used to repair you. You chuckle as he finally lets go but keeps a servo wrapped around the arm of your mech. The other bot, Ironhide, waved at the two of you from the door.

“C’mon we ain’t got time for tearful hellos. The others are guarding the open spacebridge as we speak.”

He starts out the door and bee goes to pull you along with him. The restraints that Starscream had ordered the drones to place on you were still binding your wrists. You awkwardly stumble along letting him guide you through the smoke. He and Ironhide had done quite a number on the drones through this hallway. you smile a little knowing later you would congratulate them on their victory. After turning down a few more hallways, you join up with the lambo twins and Hound. They urge you forward and through the last set of blast doors. The scene that awaited you was straight out of a science fiction comic book. Optimus himself stood in front of the open space bridge locked in hand to hand combat with Megatron.

Optimus swung his axe missing Megatron’s helm by mere inches. The Decepticon leader taking the opportunity to drive his energy blade up just missing vital energon lines running through his opponent’s neck. The prime countered, his joints straining as he swung the heavy weapon down in a brutal arc. Megatron sidestepped just in time to watch the axe slamming into the ground with a deafening thud, sending up a spray of sparks.

Before the axe could be pulled back, Megatron darted in, his energy blade flashing in the dim light, a precise thrust aimed at his opponent’s chassis. Optimus twisted, deflecting the strike with a swift, brutal swipe of his axe. Megatron’s blade grazed his plating, but he barely flinched.

There were scowls on their faces as they circled each other, each waiting for an opening to strike. Optimus growled deep in his frame, lunging forward again, his weapon whistling through the air. His opponent narrowly avoiding the strike. The energy blade was raised just in time, blocking the blow but the sheer force of it drove him to his knees. With a growl of fury, Megatron pushed back, rolling aside, narrowly avoiding a second strike.

He sprang to his feet, his blade now a blur as he countered with a series of fast, slashing attacks.The two bots locked optics, and in a flash, they were upon each other again, weapons clashing in a deafening frenzy of power and precision, each driven by eons of war and the raw need to destroy one another.

This wasn’t a fight Optimus was trying to win. As you look closer, you see the Autobot leader carefully leading Megatron to the opposite side of the room from the portal. An effective strategy and flawless distraction. Using his own fury against him. You can’t help but smile a bit as Bee tugs on your arm, pulling you towards the portal. Ironhide and the twins had already gone through and Hound was right on their aft. No one wanted to stick around while the two big shots had it out. Letting the scout lead you forward you brace for the dizzying swirl of noise and light before disappearing behind the rest of the team.

As you come out on the other side, you see the familiar sight of the launch bay. Right behind you, a heavy ped step announces the arrival of Optimus. He’s clutching a fresh wound on his shoulder, but other than that he seems fine. Relief and exhaustion grip you and your knees buckle beneath you. Bumblebee luckily still has his digits locked around your wrist and catches you as you lean forward. His worried tone faded to a deafening ringing sound as your optics white out.

When you wake hours later, you expect to be disconnected from your mech. Instead, you are laid out still connected to your machine on one of the medical berths Ratchet uses to treat injured Autobot. Your chassis is open, exposing your real body. Tubes and energon lines are connected at various points around your frame. Blinding white light from above you makes you blink a few times, trying to adjust your optics to the harsh glow. From the cockpit of your mech, a familiar voice mumbles.

“She’s awake. Seraphim can you hear me?” Dr. Antonov’s voice was muffled by the layers of plating and wires he was behind.

You groan in response and he moves to be closer to your helm. You turn and train him with golden optics. “Dr. Antonov. It’s good to see you. Is…everything alright?”

The doctor stayed shut away in his lab most days. After years of working for the government, he had finally retired. He was promptly brought back for the express purpose of finishing his research on Cybertronian biology after first contact. He was a kind man, albeit a bit odd and antisocial. The corners of his eyes crinkled as he smiled up at you. His greying, dark hair a mess as it usually was.

“You’ve had quite an ordeal haven’t you Sera? Honestly I was surprised we got you back in one piece! Given how Prime had described the Decepticons.” He reached out and patted the side of your helm gently. You look back at your open chassis.

“Doctor, why haven’t I been disconnected?” as you asked this, his smile faded. He looked his age once again as he turned slowly to walk back to where he had been.

“Something is interfering with your ability to disconnect from the Seraphim frame. If we try to sever the connection in this state…your consciousness could be lost.”

Before you could process his words, you hear shouting outside the door. Muffled voices and sounds of a struggle could be heard. Two bots were arguing.

“You better let me in old timer before I let myself in.”

“She’s just waking up, we don’t want to overwhelm her with company. Besides, we don’t know if the doctor has broken the news to her—“

The bot guarding the door was cut off as the other shoved his was into the med-bay. The giant metal door slid open and quick ped steps announced the arrival of a very worried and fussy friend.

•••

“You absolute failure! I cannot believe you allowed Optimus Prime and his lackeys to bridge directly onto the flight deck of my ship!” Megatron sent a devastating kick into the side of the kneeling figure before him. It sent the bot jolting to the side, nearly purging his tanks from the force of the blow. Venting rapidly, Starscream tries to re-align his vocal apparatus to speak.

“Lord Megatron! Please I was interrogating the prisoner! Didn’t you want the valuable information she was carrying?” Another blow to the helm as he bowed low, trying to appease his leader’s anger. Dizzy and disoriented he tried to right himself, only to be grabbed by a wing and flung across the room. There was a sickening crunch as his wing dislocated and hung useless by a few cables. His body hit the opposite wall and he landed in a heap unmoving. The gathered Decepticons seemed to flinch in unison as the Warlord stalked towards the seeker.

“Starscream you imbecile. I told you to take care of it. Didn’t I? I wanted that thing offline! It had no such intel to give you. It was taking you for the fool you are! And now Optimus prime has ground bridge coordinates for the flight deck of the Nemesis!” He reached out a clawed servo and grabbed the seeker around the throat. Lifting him off of his peds. Starscream sputtered but couldn’t get the words out. Energon leaked from the split in the mesh of his lip where Megatron had landed a solid blow earlier. He bared his denta at his leader and scrabbled at the grip around his throat as Megatron squeezed. Starscream’s optics flickered as he was about to lose consciousness. A calm and steady voice interrupted the two.

“Lord Megatron if I may, the abomination did in fact possess coordinates for other energon mines. Isn’t that correct Soundwave?” Shockwave’s even tone despite the mauling of his second in command, made Megatron pause.

He growled and dropped the body of the seeker and he crumpled into a heap on the floor. Turning his attention to a very uncomfortable looking Soundwave, Megatron began to stalk over looking eerily calm. As he approached Soundwave produced a small disk. One he had hoped to keep hidden for his own research. But Shockwave had seen him downloading the information from the prisoner. He handed it over, there was no information on the location of the base of operations for their enemy, however, the location of half a dozen energon mines wasn’t bad intel at all.

While Megatron was discussing the new intel with Shockwave, Starscream winced as he hauled himself up. This wasn’t the first time his leader had taken out a defeat on his frame. He gritted his denta against the pain and limped painfully out. He needed to be away from here. Anywhere but here before panic gripped him once again. He felt his spark start to spin faster as he hobbled to his habisuite to do his own repairs.

Athena's Relationships in Transformers: Prime ♡

A chart for Athena’s relationships in TFP. This also contains a few spoilers for Prime.

Pt. 2. . .

——————————————————————————

Team Prime ❤️

Optimus Prime 📝

Optimus was the first one to find Athena and her Cyber Dog Uzi in their spaceship that crash landed on Earth. He recognized her as Starscream and Skyfire's daughter, but since she wasn't associated with the Decepticons, he decided to bring her and Uzi back to base to get her medical attention.

Years ago, Optimus was once in contact with Athena's sire Skyfire, who wanted his daughter to be safe with the Autobots after he came in contact with the Cybonic Plague. Optimus had intended to go and bring Athena with him, but he learned through one of his compatriots that Athena was no where on Skyfire's ship, and she was presumed to have either been sent away before she caught the plague or perhaps she had been taken.

Optimus was nothing but kind to Athena when she met the others. However, he knew that there was a chance his teammates wouldn't be so quick to trust her, so he made sure to be the mediator if there was any problems.

He thinks that her friendship with Jack, Miko, and Rafael is cute.

Whenever the group has a small party, Optimus finds himself going out for a drive since 'Primes don't party'. When he learns that Athena doesn't really like parties either (due to her awkward nature), the Prime invites her to go for an outing with him, since he also knows that she gets a bit restless if she doesn't go out flying for a while.

During the time when Athena acted as their double agent as she infiltrated the Decepticons, Optimus was the only who was in contact with her as she sent out intel.

After Optimus's sacrifice, Athena helped the others make a memorial for the Prime to honor him on a revived Cybertron.

Ratchet 🚑

Ratchet was very skeptical of Athena's intentions when they first met, so he kept a close eye on her during her stay at the base. This was sensed by Athena's Cyber Dog Uzi, which made him more protective of the femme.

Since Ratchet spends a majority of his time at the base, he was able to keep an eye on Athena and see what she could have been up to. After coming to the conclusion that she wasn't a threat to him and the others, he slowly warmed up to her. This was, again, sensed by Uzi, who later warmed up to Ratchet.

When he heard that Athena was taken in by the bounty hunter Lockdown during her youth, the medic was shocked that she didn't seem more 'messed up': Ratchet and Lockdown have met in the past and are NOT on good terms.

Ratchet can't help but act as a parent to Athena when he sees her scavenging for parts outside of the base for whatever 'art project' that she's working on: he has to remind her to be careful and he ends up asking one of the humans to accompany her.

Both he and Optimus act fatherly to Athena, though Ratchet acts more like a parent since he spends the most time with her between the two.

Bumblebee 🐝

When Bumblebee first laid eyes on Athena, the young scout was SMITTEN. Athena herself wasn't aware of his feelings (yes she's that oblivious), but she did like hanging out with him when she joined the team.

Athena would join Bumblebee and his charge Raf in playing video games, though they would have to explain what’s going on if it had a plot.

He was the first one to introduce her to Earth music when they became friends.

The scout likes to listen to Athena speak about whatever has captured her interest at the moment.

Due to Athena's status as Starscream's daughter, the other Autobots had told Bumblebee to be weary of Athena because of his (obvious) crush on her, and they didn't want him to get hurt in case she did turn out to be a traitor. When Athena proved herself to be a trusted ally, Bumblebee became ecstatic that he could be her friend.

Athena does think that Bumblebee is good-looking and funny, though she didn't think that the yellow bot liked her in that way (again, she is that oblivious).

He has noticed Athena's interest in reading, so Bumblebee asks Raf for books that Athena would like.

When Bumblebee gathered up the courage to ask Athena out on a date, she was surprised at first, but she agreed to go out with him.

This is probably the best example of the 'golden retriever boyfriend and black cat girlfriend' trope for Bumblebee and Athena.

Bee has gotten a bit jealous when newcomer Smokescreen showed interest in Athena, but he managed to keep it under control and eventually calmed down when it was revealed that Smokescreen didn't like Athena romantically.

When the idea for Athena to be the Autobot's double agent, Bumblebee was worried about her safety for days.

During the time when Bumblebee couldn't communicate with Athena after the base blew up, the scout was worried that something happened to her on the Nemesis.

Bumblebee was aware of Predaking's attempts to court Athena during her time on the Nemesis and was jealous, but Bumblebee was more concerned with what the Predacon would do to her if he learned that she was a double agent.

When Bumblebee was stabbed by Megatron, Athena nearly flew into a blind rage and tried to get revenge before she was restrained. When it was revealed that he was alive, Athena had embraced him and listened to the beating of his spark to calm herself.

After his voice box was restored, Bumblebee told Athena that he loves her, as he wanted to say it with his voice and not with his translator. Athena tells him she reciprocates and the two had their first kiss.

Bulkhead 🤘🏻

While Bulkhead believed that Athena didn't mean harm to him and the others, he kept Miko away from her to see if she was dangerous or not.

Bulkhead knew that it was unfair to judge someone for the actions their parent committed (Starscream), but he also knew that it didn't hurt to be too careful.

After getting confirmation that Athena meant no harm, Bulkhead was ok with letting her around the humans at the base.

He has tried to get Athena into the music he and Miko like, but his efforts have been unsuccessful: however, he has gotten her interested in painting.

Bulkhead does act like an older brother to Athena. He even got protective of her when he heard that Starscream was trying to get her to join him by his side on the Decepticons.

The Wrecker has also acted as a wingman for Bumblebee and Athena when the two began a relationship.

Bulkhead likes to look out for Athena's Cyber Dog Uzi when she goes out for a solo flight.

Arcee 🏍️

Due to her status as Starscream's daughter, Arcee was distrusting of Athena from the moment they met. Arcee knew that it wasn't fair to judge Athena for Starscream's actions, but she couldn't help it. This led to the blue femme to distance herself a bit from Athena for a few days. She even told Jack to inform her if he saw Athena do anything suspicious.

After seeing how Athena interacted with the others, and after getting the 'ok' from Jack, Arcee slowly but surely interacted more and more with Athena.

Arcee finds Athena's interests in human literature to be fascinating, since the others like Bee and Bulkhead were more interested in Earth's music and pop culture. Athena likes those too, but she likes reading more.

Athena has heard the name of Arcee's former partner Cliffjumper in passing, and while she wanted to ask the blue and pink who he was, she knew of his passing and decided not to ask since she knew that the passing of a loved one was a tough subject.

Arcee eventually told Athena what happened to Cliffjumper, and Starscream's involvement, which made Athena apologize to the older femme for her father's actions, though Arcee told her that she didn't have to apologize for something that wasn't even her fault. Athena has also opened up to Arcee about the loss of her sire Skyfire.

Arcee basically acts as Athena's older sister.

Wheeljack 🗡️

Since Wheeljack travels around space a majority of the time, the Wrecker didn't get to meet Athena for a while.

He doesn't mind that she's Starscream's daughter, in fact, he kind of views her more as just Skyfire's kid since she takes after him more. It also probably helps that he was friends with Skyfire and is implied to have been the acquaintance that the Seeker tried to contact before he died.

Wheeljack is kind of that one uncle in the family that likes to do dumb and stupid things with his nieces and nephews: that's kind of the relationship he has with Athena.

He has thought about training Athena to be a Wrecker, though Ratchet immediately shot that idea down.

Smokescreen

Smokescreen's relationship with Athena is like that of an older sibling having to constantly be on the lookout for the younger one's antics.

When the young mech first met Athena, he was excited since he hadn't seen a Flier in ages one that was close in age. He doesn't care that Starscream is one of her sires since he mostly cared about the fact she was an apprentice of the bounty hunter Lockdown and that she had her own stories of being a bounty hunter.

Since Smokescreen knows that Athena likes to read, he has attempted to read some of the books that she has so they could talk about them. The ones he liked were the murder mysteries and the comic books she downloaded for Bumblebee.

He has attempted to get her into pranks, but hasn't succeeded.

When he's bored and wants to hang out with Athena, one of the things Smokescreen likes to do is paint with her and talk about some of their favorite shows.

Ultra Magnus 🔨

Ultra Magnus was weary of Athena when he first met her. Athena understood why because of her old Decepticon status. Though she did get annoyed when he was rude and dismissive of her and Uzi.

It took a while to prove herself to him, and after she did, Ultra Magnus did apologize for his actions and began to show her more respect.

He, like the others, was worried about Predaking's interest in Athena when they learned about it.

Athena helped Ratchet make Ultra Magnus's new hand after he suffered a grave injury.

She has helped him understand a few Earth slang that he hadn't heard of.

Allies 💚

Jack Darby 🧑‍🚀

Jack and Athena didn't really interact much at first since his guardian Arcee wanted to make sure that the new femme was trust worthy enough to let her be around him.

After the Autobots confirmed that Athena was not a threat and instead a new ally, Jack and the others immediately got to befriend her.

He has noticed Athena's more ant-social nature, so he took the friend at a slower pace to make her more comfortable. Athena noticed this and was appreciative.

Jack has accidentally gotten Athena into a medical drama that his mother watches: he mentioned it in passing, and Athena searched on her free time and it became a hyper fixation of hers.

When Athena heard that Jack and the others had a bully problem (Vince) at school, she has offered to get Uzi to slash the tires of his car as payback. Jack said that while he appreciated the offer, it wasn't necessary: he also made a mental note to not mention Vince around Athena anymore.

Miko Nakadai 🎸

Miko was excited to have another girl on the team. She did not care at all that Athena was Starscream's daughter.

However, the teenager wasn't allowed to meet Athena properly until her guardian Bulkhead and the others had made sure that she was trustworthy and wouldn't put them in danger. When she and the others were given permission, Miko went all out with asking Athena questions.

She has attempted to convince Athena to take her and the others out for a flight, but Athena has said 'no' since she was worried that she'd somehow put them in danger.

For a while, Athena would get annoyed with the fact that Miko would disobey orders and sneak off through the GroundBridge and get her and the other humans in danger.

While Athena doesn't care for Miko's choice in music, she does like to listen to the teenager talk about it.

Miko enjoys hearing stories about Athena's travels through space.

Rafael “Raf” Esquivel 💻

Just like Jack and Miko, Rafael wasn't allowed to interact with Athena in the beginning due to her origins.

As soon as he was given permission to be around Athena, Raf was introduced to Athena by his guardian Bumblebee. Athena was shocked to find out that Raf, a human, was able to understand Bumblebee's beeping and the Cybertronian language: this helped further their friendship due to her curiosity.

Even though it's probably not nice to have a favorite human, Raf is probably Athena's.

He likes to hang out with both Athena and Bumblebee whenever he visits the base.

Raf was the first one to notice Bee's crush on the femme, and tried to act as his 'wingman' even though Raf himself doesn't have experience in the field of romance himself.

Raf had to comfort Bee's nerves when Athena became the team's double agent and infiltrated the Decepticons.

June Darby 🩺

June and Athena don't really interact much, but they do think good things about each other.

Athena thinks June is a good mom to Jack, and wishes that her sire Starscream was a bit more like June.

Agent Fowler 💼

Athena and Agent Fowler don't really interact that much outside of missions, but she is good at following orders

When she learned that Starscream had tortured Fowler in the past, Athena had tried to apologize to him, but he told her that it was nothing she needed to worry about and that it wasn't her fault.

Fowler thinks that she's nice, and wonders how on Earth she's related to Starscream at all.

Confessions | Knightverse Bumblebee x GN!human reader | SFW

Word count: 1800+

Warnings: None. Just a first kiss. ( for once there is no smut 😅 )

Notes: This is a art trade for @bi-polar-geminii. Loved trying out something different with Bumblebee and my writing style. Hope you enjoy. ❤️

☕ Coffee

Bumblebee enjoyed spending time with you whenever possible. You always made him feel special, and he returned the same by making you feel just the same. He understood you were very different, species wise, but that doesn’t stop his feelings from growing more fondly about you every passing day. The urge to confess keeps creeping, about to burst out at any moment, but he holds it all in fearing you’ll reject him, and so he continues to be your friend.

What he doesn’t know is that you feel the very same about him, but keep it all sealed up, despite just how much it’s bothering you. It feels like an itch you can’t reach and it’s growing more intense the more you spend time with him. You do ask yourself the worst that could happen and the worst scenarios always run through your head, over and over again it happens, and this is what holds you back. Its torture, and you’re unsure just how much longer you can hold it in.

On one of Bumblebee’s days off he drives you to one of your favourite spots to hang out together, someplace quiet, where it’s only just you two and mother nature surrounding. The drive is always nice and he places your favourite music, listening to you sing along with your hand out the rolled down window against the wind. The sound of your voice is a beautiful melody to Bumblebee’s audios, and he would love to sing along with you, but since he lost his voice all he can do is play whatever music you wanted. You’re happy, and that’s all that mattered to him.

Once you arrive, Bumblebee carries you across the thicket towards the river bank, settling you down once in the clear and you both take in your surroundings and nature's music. It’s beautifully relaxing. You breathe in deeply and let out a satisfied exhale while setting the sun observe into your skin. Bumblebee mimics this, just to be a part of your relaxation.

“Feel that sun, breathe in that fresh air, hear nature's music, this is the kind of life to live.” You say wearing a fond smile. “If only this was right in my backyard, it would be parricide.”

"Is that something you would like? Why not change your life to have this?" He asked through his radio over a few channels.

“Oh, as much as I would like to, I have work and friends I don’t want to leave. Sometimes that’s the way of life, but I have no regrets. What I already have is something that is irreplaceable, I wouldn’t trade it for the world.” That’s the truth you speak as you offer him a sweet smile.

Bumblebee listens closely, enticed by your speech. You were such a wonderful human being that saw so much beauty in everything, so caring, beautiful. Finding the right channel through his radio, he goes to speak, to confess something that's been nagging in his helm.

"You're perfect, kind, and you-"

“Oh Bee, look over there.” You didn’t mean to cut him off but you notice something in the water struggling to swim. It’s a tiny Bumblebee, who had made an unfortunate mistake and got themselves submerged in the water. Without hesitation you take your shoes off and enter the shallow bank, gently using your hands you scoop it up, saving its life. There is little care about your clothes getting wet or dirty, all that mattered to you was the poor little guy.

Bumblebee watches this happen and tilts his head curiously at the small creature sitting in your hands, tired from the struggle, but resting calmly as they try to get themselves dry and regain their energy. He’s seen cruelness in the universe, even earth. Such a creature wasn’t always looked out for and so are forced to take care of themselves without help, and in this creature's final moments near death, they are saved by the most kind hearted human this universe didn’t deserve. Bugs die all the time, every day, but this bug won’t be one of them today.                 

“Poor thing.” You coo calmly at it, bringing your hand closer to your face. “Don’t worry little guy, you’re safe now. You can rest there for as long as you need.” Looking back at Bumblebee you give an innocent smile. “I know it might seem strange talking to a bug, but I believe all living things can understand us somehow, even though we can’t understand them, but there’s a connection and it's up to us to find it, to make that connection work. They need help sometimes and it's up to us to offer that help, it’s a choice. There’s beauty in this world and these little guys have a big part in it, pollinating the world and bringing life everywhere.” You explain to him, all the while you watch the fuzzy bumblebee in your hand with a smile. “Thank you, little one.”

Bumblebee tilts his helm curiously. “Why…appreciation?”

“Well, like I said, they help keep our world thriving, and without them our world wouldn’t be anything beautiful like it is. Like you and the autoboots, you’re here to protect earth and humans from decepticons. Without you, our world would be destroyed.”

Then, Bumblebee feels a heavy emotion, a dread. "We failed our world. Protecting yours is our priority. I don't want to fail you."

Tilting your head up, you listen to what he says to you, curious by the tone you picked up on. "I believe in you, Bee. You could never disappoint me. Sorry, I think I cut you off before. What were you going to say?"

Now it's Bumblebee's turn to hesitate, a shy little child worried about the outcome of what he truly wanted to say to you. Humming buzzing sound from him, before he finally confesses through his radio. "You complete me."

His words make your heart skip a beat. "I...I complete you? What do you mean by that?" You need to make sure, to dig deeper, find the source of what he just said to you.

Bumblebee stares at the crawling bee on her hand, desperately trying to clean and dry itself. He knows there's no backing out of it, and answers without looking at her.

"When you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." A famous quote he found, and the only one he seemed to find and fit in the situation he brought himself in.

The confession truly takes your breath away, a warmth floods through your entire body, causing goosebumps to rush through your skin and tickling your tiny hairs. Still, as beautiful as his quote was, you needed more clarification, just to be sure.

"Bee, do you love me?" As forward as it sounded, it's all you could think of in the moment, to put it out there. Your eyes are fixed on him as you await his answer.

Through his sudden shyness, he tilts his helm at you and manages to give a simple nod, right before tearing his gaze away back onto the bug you continue to hold. It's something you've only dreamed about, a love confession from your favourite yellow bug, from Bumblebee.

Stepping closer you touch his surprisingly warm plating at his servo, gaining his attention, watching as his baby blue optics shift directly onto you, looking like a frightened child that tugs at your heart. There was no need to question further as to why he didn't say anything before, because you had also done it, keeping your feelings all bottled up. Both of you were worried about the outcome, but now it's all happening, and there is only one thing to do that struck your mind.

"Kiss me."

For a split second Bumblebee is confused before his optics glow brightly, happiness blooming through him hearing these words. Slowly he leans forward, his helm tilts, and you meet with him before sealing your soft lips over the grill of his mouth guard. It might not seem like it but you feel him kissing you back, gently pressing as you let the kiss linger for as long as possible. There's a concoction of emotions, your racing heart beats quickly, a bundle of nerves tightens at your chest, and a flood of happiness bursts through your whole body. The moment leaves you giggling silently on the inside, a love and affection latching onto the moment with what feels like butterflies fluttering around your stomach.

When the kiss is finally broken all you both can do is stare at one another closely, fond eyes and optics holding together before your beaming smile grows more. "Oh Bee, you've got a bee on you."

That he does. In the moment the tiny bee had crawled from her hand and onto his face, still crawling around but looking better than before. He doesn't mind, in fact he enjoys having the tiny bug on him, thinking it as a trust bond just like the bug had for you.

Your hand rests against his cheek plating, fingers gently soothing while he leans into your touch, humming in delight as the weight is lifted so quickly from the both of you, all worries and nerves no longer lingering.

"We're both a little silly." You hear yourself say. "But maybe that's what makes us perfect together. I want so much for us. You're not only my friend, but the one I've grown to love so much. Is this what you want, for something more between us?"

Bumblebee nods eagerly before looking up around, noticing the sun setting and the moon lightly appearing under the pink bubble gum sky and speaks through a channel of his radio. "What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey, that's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the moon."

Letting out a pleasant giggle you hold your hand over across his servo. "As lovely as that sounds I don't think mother nature would appreciate that. I want you. I want our fairy tale, that's all I need."

Bumblebee lets out another low hum before moving his servo up to his face to allow the tiny bee to crawl onto his digit and bring it back down between you both. Finally, the bee had enough strength, twitching its fuzzy body and taking flight, flying around them both as if it was trying to thank them, before flying away and back to its colony through the vibrant trees.

It was a beautiful moment, one neither of you will ever forget. Turning to Bumblebee again, you kiss his cheek plating and beam brightly. "Can we stay a little longer? Maybe we could cuddle?"

He's more than happy to do that. "Happily ever after."

Can I request TFP Bot Buddy who is like Bumblebee's sibling or twin? For angsty times, let's make Buddy brainwashed by the Cons and is forced to fight Team Prime and Bumblebee, who is probs still grieving about his sibling's supposed death, doesn't even know it is his sibling because they look different. Bumblebee doesn't even know it's Buddy, he just gets this feeling that they look familiar. Thanks ❤️

Oh!

Oh...

Buddy and Bee are going to go through some feelings whether they like it or not.

Hope you enjoy!

Bot Buddy being Bumblebee's Twin and getting brainwashed into becoming a Con

SFW, mention of injuries, Angst, Familial, Platonic, Cybertronain reader

TFP

Bumblebee had lost his twin the same day he lost his voice box.

The two had been out on patrol when they had been ambushed by the Decepticons. He remembered the icy fear he felt when he was being held by the throat by the Big Bad of the Cons, while Buddy was soloing a bunch of Cons on their own attempting to get rid of them to go and help him.

He didn’t know what was worse at that moment, the giant claws digging into his pipes or seeing the chunks of armor flying off Buddy as they tried clawing their way to him with FEAR in their optics.

When Bumblebee woke up, he was absolutely devastated to find out that he could no longer speak and that his twin was missing.

He tried to leave the med bay multiple times that day to go look for them. Ratchet had to sedate him to make sure that he didn’t leave.

After a few weeks Buddy’s name was put in the killed in action section.

He refused to think that his twin was gone. They couldn’t be gone, not after all they went through.

But after a few years, he finally came to terms.

Buddy wasn’t coming back.

It was hard for many bots on the team that knew both twins, especially Optimus and Ratchet.

Optimus felt especially responsible for this, he sent the twins out on that mission. If he hadn’t then they would probably still be together right now.

Ratchet already felt horrible for not being able to fix Bumblebee’s voicebox but knowing that he couldn’t do anything to fix a broken spark made things worse.

It took forever to get Bumblebee out of the deep depressive state he was in.

To save some of the injury, the team didn’t bring Buddy up too often, maybe a reference or two but nothing too big.

“Hey Bumblebee, who’s Buddy? You guys sometimes talk about them, who are they?”--Raf

Most of the base freezing a bit.

“Did I say something wrong?”--Raf

“No, its just—”--Smokescreen

“Bep beep bop bop (They’re my twin. One of the best scouts the Autobots ever had in their ranks.)”--Bumblebee

“Really! You have a twin?”--Miko

“Twin? Wow! I didn’t know you bots had siblings.”--Jack

“What kind of stories you got about them?”--Raf

“Please!”--Miko

“Kids—”--Bulkhead

“Bep bep bop (its okay Bulkhead)”--Bumblebee

Bumblebee began to explain who Buddy was and that they went missing during the war.

He couldn’t bear to tell them that they were…

Jack, Miko, and Raf looked at him in awe, hearing all the stories this mysterious twin had gone through with or without him.

“Now they’re missing?”--Jack

“Bep (yes)”--Bumblebee

“Wow… I could imagine doing so many things without my family with me. You’re so strong for going on without Buddy. I bet if they were here right now, I bet they’d be so proud of you.”--Raf

“B…bep? (you think so?)”--Bumblebee

“I know so.”--Raf

“And just you wait Bee! When they come marching into the base one day looking for you, you’ll get to tell them all the stories you have!”--Miko

Bee could hardly speak with all the emotions starting to bubble in his throat.

Thankfully the others saw this and quickly tried to sidetrack the children giving Bee some time to escape the common room for a bit.

He escaped to his habsuite ready to let out a full sob when a blaring alarm came through the computers.

Bee quickly tried pushing some of the emotions down before heading to the common room.

“What’s the damage?”--Bulkhead

“There seems to be a heavy Decepticon presence in the area.”--Ratchet

“Close to the base?”--Arcee

“No exactly. But it’s in the area. Close by the canyons a couple klicks west.”--Ratchet

When they got there the Cons were at the bottom of a canyon next to a destroyed escape pod.

It must have been a big deal given that Megatron himself was there with Soundwave and Starscream.

A couple of Vechicons had come as well.

And what looked to be a new Con.

Must have been the Con from inside the pod.

They were talking to Megatron when the team decided to come out with their blaster out.

“Freeze Con’s!”--Smokescreen

“Ah. It seems that we have guests.”—Starscream

“Have you come to see the newest member of the Decepticon army.”--Megatron

“Megatron—”--Optimus

Bee completely ignored the exchange that Prime and Megatron were talking about and solely focused his attention on the new Con.

The Con as it turned out was doing the same thing as he was. Even going as far as mirroring his stance.

What happened next shocked everyone present.

The new Con lunged at him in such incredible speed, he barely registered the punch before he hit the ground and saw the Con jumping upward going in for round two.

No shots had been fired.

No orders.

Purely unprovoked attack.

That’s when everyone started fighting.

Bee barely kept up with the new Cons rapid attacks before he was face to face with the end of a canon. He couldn’t describe what he felt seeing the cannon firing up and not being able to move. One shot and it would be over.

Ratchet from across the battlefield looking at Bumblebee frozen in place at the end of a cannon.

“BUMBLEBEE!”--Ratchet

Optimus nearly getting whiplash seeing his scout frozen.

“NO!”--Optimus

Megatron slugging him across the face.

The Con froze hearing the name and turned off their cannon.

The Con had hesitated, and they looked… frightened?

No that couldn’t be right.

Right?

He quickly moved away from the cannon trying to get some space between the two.

The Con simply stared at him before turning to the sky.

The rest of the Cons were retreating through the groundbridges Soundwave had produced.

“Decepticons! Retreat!”--Megatron

Con looking back at Bumblebee one more time before transforming and racing into the groundbridge.

Bumblebee just staring at the spot where the Con had left.

“Bumblebee! Bumblebee?!”--Ratchet

Ratchet looked over his injuries trying to find anything potentially fatal.

Optimus looking over his scout and medic in worry.

“Bumblebee, are you all right?”--Optimus

Bumblebee slowly nodding trying to get up.

Bulkhead and Smokescreen helping Bumblebee back on to his pedes.

“What was that?”--Smokescreen

“Bep beep… (I don’t know…)”--Bumblebee

Meanwhile, on the Nemesis.

The Con was no better on the other end.

They didn’t know what happened back on the battlefield.

They had gotten a bit of repriming from Megatron, but they could tell that he was more worried about them acting so out of character.

“As one of our best and only scouts, I expect you to know that what you did was extremely foolish. We need all the Decepticons we must be online and functional!”--Megatron

“I am sorry my Lord. I think I was in that pod for too long and needed to get it out of my system. I promise, this won’t happen again.”--Buddy

“Hmmm… I will let this one pass as you have just arrived and the given how you put the fear of Primus into Prime. Do not expect this to be a regular thing, Buddy.”--Megatron

“Thank you, my Lord.”--Buddy

That seemed a good enough excuse as they were dismissed from the throne room and headed straight to their old habsuite.

But they couldn’t shake the feeling they had when they saw the wide optics of the Autobot at the end of their canon.

They felt so disgusted with themselves at that moment and… scared?

No, they didn’t get scared.

They were going to prove it to themselves.

That yellow Autobot was going to be the first to go.

[yayasvalveplay]

Guess who had more sleep and much more thorough response this time without me tweaking like my last ask from lack of sleep and my tronus hyperfixation yall im cooked 💀

Aka me misreading where Spike and Tronus part came from sorry yaya you is the big big brain here 😭 ❤️

Anyways going into more detail from what I can remember about before I slept is that I like to think the Earth Arc happens at least a little later here as apparently in canon Spike is 14 years old when he's with his dad in episode 1 of the series. When Tronus and his group land on earth, Spike is around 16-17 by the time Arachnid's Vanguards, or the Primal Creed attacks.

I'm still working on the name for Arachnid's group because I like to think it would definitely named after Sentinel's primacy, and not Decepticons— With Arachnid choosing to immortalize Sentinel's legacy like that.

For example how some bots will refuse to believe the Matrix choose a sparkling and think Sentinel is still the real deal etc; loyalists to the system before like Darkwing, Arachnid does essentially lean into a bit of a cultist set with Sentinel Prime being the 'true last prime' or how the Matrix was stolen and used on Tronus the parasite etc, the last line- Arachnid firmly believes it, she despises the little false parasite just as much as she does with Megatron that she refuses to address Prime in Tronus.

Lmao it's all good Mion lmao.

But YESSS they arnt clocked out for that long as they are in canon. They are found by Spike and Sparkplug. But have no time for introductions because Airachnia attacks and they have to get them new organics to safety.

Only once she retreats into a new area to deal with later do they get to talking.

Though yes Airachnid refuses to call him prime, only parasite. Tronus would tear up everytime he's called that. But Matrix Tronus just bashes her head in with his own head.

Along those lines I also do not know what to call Airachnids group, because you are right it wouldn't be Decepticons.

Though speaking of such who joined Tronus on this quest.

Elita, Jazz, Prowl, Bumblebee, Mirage, Ratchet, Deadlock, Starscream, Soundwave, Astrotrain, Strika, Knockout.

These are the original crew. Megatron grabbed a few others with him while fleeing. Mostly them trying to keep him back but failed and had to go along.

[atomicdarc]

Your hotshot design SLAMS.

Also can you tell me about hotshot in your au? :333

AYY THANKS!!!! I love your au and your designs too ❤️

Well, he is one of the Autobots that stayed in South America, specifically in Brazil. He also has a Brazil and a River of January Sticker in his door/arm because in the reference that I had of the model of his car form was a Chevette C6 full of stickers, so I thought it would be nice put some on him too!

Hotshot will be like a older brother to Cliffjumper and Bumblebee, while Hotrod will be like a older brother to him —I'm even considering maybe make them be twins—.

Scavenger will be in the Autobots side too! —Since I'm using a lot of Armada as reference-— He will be the oldest one between all of them and the leader of the Brazilian division. He considers all his younger soldiers as sons. His relationship with Hotshot will not be so different, but he sees himself a lot on the boy, he remembers him of brighter days.

Oh and since Hotshot Brazilian VA is the same VA for Adam Sandler, yes, it'll be his voice. He also has an carioca accent because when a Cybetronian comes to earth and learn a new language besides English, depending of the place in the country where he learned it, they may have the respective accent of the region, so we can have things like:

Elita one with texan accent. Cyclonus talking stridently loud in Scottish accent. Demolisher with Russian accent, but his voice is pretty calm and soft. Rodimus speaking in Portuguese with a mineiro accent —sounds like a texan accent but even more stronger—

I'll work on his relationship with Wheeljack too, but I'm thinking of splitting Wheeljack in two characters. There will be Wheeljack and Rampage, since his name in Japanese version is Rampage. Wheeljack and Rampage will be brothers and work together as scientists! They will get along. Wheeljack enjoys Hotshot presence, but not Rampage since they had a past beef with each other. Also Wheeljack understands that it's not their fault and that it was an tragic incident involving both. Rampage was a Decepticon for a while, but his brother insistently convinced him to back to the Autobots. When he saw Hotshot for the first time since about a time, he yelled at him and almost strangled him to death, so since they noticed that wouldn't be a good idea to have them on the same division, they sent Rampage to the chilean division in the next month with Wheeljack who apologies immediately with Hotshot —who was shivering holding Hotrod's arm.— after the attack. As you can see Wheeljack is just a cutie who is trying to ease his little brother's trauma, but he can't find an effective way to do it. He doesn't blames Hotshot for nothing and he expects that helping his brother would help hotshot too, but they are pretty far of doing it.

Wheeljack will look like his original G1 design since Rampage will looks more like his Armada design.

That's it for now, there some details that I need to change on their history. And again, sorry if I did some writing mistakes, English is not my first language 😭

Thanks for the ask!

S1:E14

Optimus really should smile more often❤️

Episode would be extra hilarious is more focus was put on megatron actually trying to act like bee

Like him trying to bash bulkhead's head with the metal ball. I know meg did that

@ STARSCREAM: OHOHOH YOUR MF LIFE ENDS 15 MINUTES FROM NOW

Oh I need that plane dead.

Every episode with new scenes they share together and its mindblowing to me how well starscream and KO bounce off of each other and that it was a one-off for this show only

I dont even ship them anymore all that much. The dynamic is just that good

Megatron isnt even doing anything useful yet, hes just breaking shit in bee's body

Needed that counter: 4

One problem I have with prime that i'll always have is that the settings are 100% boring bc its almost always dbz wastelands

Like I know its a budget thing but everything is a budokai stage

Speaking of, heres the final flash

Oh raf lore!

POLYHEX MENTION! *AIRHORN SOUNDS*

oh my god the blunt from episode 3 is relevant again

Awfully nice of megatron to just. Literally put raf on a high shelf instead of yknow. Squishing him like the little organic he is?

oh that was bee's doing. this is less fun than i expected

Okay meg DID push raf away and it was so pathetically gentle im so back

PULL THE PLUG RATCHET

Megatron how are you talking thru bumblebee you destroyed his voicebox yourself

Amazing face right here hes like a baby owl

THE EVIL WEED HEALED HIS TITTY INJURY TOO???

OHOHOH HES GOT A PLANE TO CATCH, IF YOU WILL

Vehicon abuse yet again...

Optimus is doing that one move cooler did in his movie where he swam in the kamehameha to the source. Lots of dbz references for me this episode huh. Anyway that was the whole power of the sun optimus took on there

Steve Blum got rent due again

Megatron accidentaly saving optimus again you love to see it

ITS GROVELING TIME

YEET THAT JET???

Starscream pulling all the cards he has left like "look look optimus is right there!" but alas...

LMAOOOOOO GOOD FUCKING BYE SCREAMER

Oh hey raf finally got to see that snow he wanted!

[lightning-speed-bug]

(Portal opens, dumps the hydrobot down, closes)

Ope, there it goes again. OH LOOKIT DAT! ITS...uh...i think its bumblebee. I think you're taller than our bee honestly. Oh well, hi dere friend, names Riptide! Sorry bout the sudden appearance. Seems a weird portal keeps teleportin me across the...univer...multiv...thingaverse thingie. I keep going to places and i dont know why. But this place looks pretty cute! Wats up?

Of course Bumblebee looked over seeing the portal, and muttered a soft. "Ah, here we go again, some crazy shenanigan stuff about to happen." It seemed like the yellow bot was used to it here. But of course upon seeing the blue hydrobot drop down, he looked over them, poking him a bit to see if he was ok. "You ok buddy?" The small bot asked, getting a smile from him when he saw he was. "Ok, good I'm glad you didn't get scrapped there. But it's nice to meet ya Riptide, don't worry, we've been getting a lot of multiverse visitors ourselves."

The Autobot smiled a bit, shaking his helm. "But the fact I'm finally taller then another Bee? That's so cool! Finally I'm not the shortest heh! But this place is nice, hope ya like it in Detroit for a while! But ah nothing much other then stopping the occasional baddie and all, you probably know how it is if you ever fought Decepticons or troublemakers before." The smaller said with a shrug of his own.

[otmaaromanovas]

I love OTMA and I love learning about them, but sometimes I'm just overwhelmed with sadness thinking about them. When I think about their fate, it's so devastating to me, it's hard to describe it. Everything that could have been, destroyed. The more you learn, the sadder it is. I know their parents, grandparents, etc. were not perfect but I will never know how those men could look at those pure, kind, beautiful girls and do what they did. And to this day I still see people saying they "deserved" what happened to them just because they don't like the tsarist government. It's sick. Sometimes I think if I had a time machine, I would have spirited the children off to England before measles ever ruined their plans. I want to see so badly what they could have become, and knowing that I never will hurts something awful. I thought you'd know more than most where I'm coming from and how I'm feeling ❤️

I'm so sorry that this has been sitting in my inbox for months and I've only just got around to replying to it now! This ask made me think a lot - about OTMA, and also history in general.

History is bloody, it's cruel, and it's often so, so unfair. We wish we could go back and change the past, but no matter what we do, we can't. It's blunt, unchangeable, and uncomfortable. I know that feeling you describe all too well!

Yet through the darkness, something shines through the cracks: remembrance. Empires have risen and fallen, rulers have come and gone, but, often, it is the ordinary people that continue to live in our minds, simply because they are remembered - and they’re all truly just like us. Whether it's the doodles that a child did on his homework or the very first signature on a tablet: they were here. We really are not so different than the people who came before us.

I constantly find connections from the past to the present. A name shared with someone from the year 600, sepia photographs of a beloved pet, the same favourite perfume as a Grand Duchess. Centuries apart but drawn together by history. They live on through us, and remembrance is an important part of that. Making sure the next generation has all of that history, and more.

All of this to say that... we can't change the past. It's a sad fact. But we can remember it. When we remember someone, or an event, or whatever it is in history that is important to you, it lives on. So much of history has been lost because it hasn't survived, so tell your stories! Write down your thoughts! Talk about the people you love, the people you have lost. They're still they're with you. Every single person on this earth, whether it is today or thousands of years ago, is apart of the most special club of all: being apart of history. It doesn't matter if you're a king and live in a palace, or a student in a studio flat in the middle of the suburbs, or the little bumblebee that flies around the flowers, weaving in and out of the grass like how history weaves through time. We’re all important.

Another part of history is that it confronts us with tragedy. We look at these horrible things that have happened and think to ourselves, how could people have stood by and let this happen? Why didn't anybody do something? As I said, we can't change the past, but we can change the future. The people of the past are just like us. We’re just like them. But - we can learn from their crimes and build a better and safer, free, world. When you can, speak up, take action, help to form a world which, in hundreds of years time, historians won’t read about it and be confronted by that same uncomfortable feeling that we experience today. Use that frustration, that sadness, and change the world for the better.

[paradoxdesign]

Stop what you're doing. Put on some headphones and watch this video. Sadly it can only relay a small percentage of how I felt while making it but rest assured, it will comfort you!

After watching the video please read the words I leave here for you .❤️

"Where the burn speaks of tales from the hills, taking them to the Loch for storing them in the oceans vault.

And the gentle breeze stirrs the hairs on my arm, reassuring the imminent arrival of spring, emphasized by the soft drone of a bumblebee searching the first nectar.

Here where birds serenade the rolling landscape and the cool nights are scented with the smell of coal and wood fires.

Where there are so many horizons.

And life is pure

That is where I want to be..."

[minhosbitterriver]

‧₊° summary. an episode of 2 kids’ show reveals just how deep your friendship with chan runs.

2 Kids’ Show has come to mean a lot for STAY, a fact that warmed your heart as you glanced around the set which was definitely an upgrade to the old yellow room with the blue couch, although the latter was a symbol of simpler times in a lot of ways. Still, the dingy feeling of a garage being occupied by a band was an aesthetic you hadn’t realized you’d appreciate this much.

Minho was already sitting on his assigned velvety green chair, a small stack of talking-point cards with the freshly designed logo of the show printed on the back in his hands as he waited for his cue to begin. Chan stood by your side, chatting lightly with his hairstylist as she ensured that his hair was perfect. You were already set and ready to begin, no trace of the tingling anxiety that usually plagued you before interviews and you knew it was because the only people you’d have to interact with were the very same people you spoke to daily — this was a relief to you these days.

“Okay!” The manager announced with a sharp clap of his hands in order to attract everyone’s attention. All of the staff quickly made their ways to their needed positions and the hairstylist Chan had been speaking to left him be. “Ready? Scene!”

“Where two kids share their secret stories and music, this is 2 Kids’ Show,” announced Minho, pausing for a moment for a light applause — to which you and Chan obliged albeit belatedly to tease your friend. Minho’s eyes playfully narrowed in your and Chan’s direction, though he quickly moved on with a smile. “I am 2 Kids’ Show’s handsome MC, Lee Know.”

You cupped your hands around your mouth to cheer exaggeratedly, overcompensating for the lack of an enthusiastic applause just a moment prior. Minho winced away from you even with the distance between the two of you. “You were scolding Hyunjin and Jeongin before, you don’t have any grounds to complain saying I don’t cheer now!”

“I do have a complaint actually, you’re being too loud! It hurts my ears!” Minho rolled his eyes playfully before glancing back at the cards in his hands with an amused smile. “Anyway, as you can see, today we have a special pair with us — Stray Kids’ wolf and bumblebee duo that STAY have always loved. To me, they’re a good representation of an endearing friendship, our oldest and youngest members — Chan and Y/N!”

Chan pressed a hand on your lower back to urge you forward, and you let yourself be guided by him with a practiced bright grin as you waved at your group member. You end up seated in between the two men, quickly grabbing one of the cushions of the couch and placing it on your lap out of habit. Chan followed suit, but only so he could fiddle with the fuzz.

“It’s so strange seeing you as our MC,” you commented lightly.

“Is it? Good or bad?”

You shrug innocently. “I guess we’re going to have to wait and see!”

“Careful,” Minho teased with an exaggerated ominous grin. “I’m the one leading this interview.”

Chan chuckled beside you, though he remained quiet otherwise.

“Okay! Chan and Y/N how have you two been lately?”

You glance over at Chan, unsure of whether he should begin speaking of you, but he made the choice for you as he absentmindedly nodded at you whilst keeping his eyes glued on the pillow. With an understanding nod, you clear your throat and turn to face Minho. Chan has been a bit on the quieter side, evidently exhausted by the grueling hours of work and the pressure of the recent comeback almost weighing him down slightly — although he would never admit it. “I’ve been pretty good, actually. Yesterday was my day off, so I was able to tend to my plants at home.”

“Oh, how are they?”

A frown tugged at yourself, pushing your lower lip into a frown. “Titi, my tradescantia died, which was really sad since it’d managed to live so long. They’re really difficult to keep alive since they require a lot of water, and I’ve heard how often they tend to die so I was very proud of myself when I managed to keep it for a bit despite our busy schedule.”

“Oh, Titi died?” Chan questioned, highly surprised by this new piece of information. It wasn’t uncommon for you to call or text him whenever one of your plants died since you had a deep love for them and always took their ends straight to your heart — it was a failure you couldn’t bring yourself to forgive, and it always made you work harder with the next plant. Not to say that you didn’t have a green thumb, your experience caring for them since childhood was more than enough proof of your abilities, but death comes to all and yet it hurts nevertheless. Titi in particular had been struggling for quite a bit despite your constant attempts to make things better for her, and by the time you found her completely lifeless in your pot, you were painfully aware of Chan being asleep after spending all night awake.

“Yeah,” you confirmed with a slightly guilty smile. “It was quite tragic, actually. But my gardenia flowers have just started blooming a few days ago, and I’m really excited to see them in their prime. It’s also nerve-wracking because they’re also said to be extremely difficult to maintain and I really don’t want to deal with another Titi. Since I don’t have an actual garden in a subtropical country, I had to invest in a container so I can control the temperature. They’re actually said to thrive really well with moderate warmth that is somewhere between 18°C and 21°C and their soil must be kept consistently moist at all times and also —”

Minho splayed his hands in front of himself to signal for you to stop, and so you snapped your mouth shut as a slight tinge of color rose to your cheeks. “You know we love you, and I will ask you about this after the interview. But we should probably move on with the questions.”

“Right. Sorry.”

Chan chuckled a bit, reaching out to rub your back in small circles to soothe you like he always did. Minho, catching the kind gesture, grinned brightly and pointed at Chan’s hand that stopped immediately when caught.

“That’s actually one of the things we wanted to talk about here,” Minho announced with a slight glint of mischief. “I think it’ll be okay if I jump a few questions now that we’re on the topic and then circle back to the others, right?”

The three of you glanced at your manager and director, both of whom nodded and motioned for Minho to continue. Chan drew his hand back, focusing on the pillow once more.

“Right, so I think we’re all guilty of watching some of the videos that STAYs make online. I for one find them to be very entertaining, but I also noticed that there’s a greater amount of content made of you two — a lot of people really admire your friendship, so how’s that looking so far?”

This time, you nudged Chan’s knee with your own. He glanced up and cleared his own throat. “I love watching those videos, honestly. I think it’s really interesting to see how many STAYs can appreciate it. I know Y/N and I have been through a lot together and it really makes me appreciate her even more these days.”

“Channie,” you teased. “You make it sound like we’re dating.”

“I was just about to say! Right?” Minho burst out, chuckling as Chan rolled his eyes. It’s a joke as old as time, really, and it couldn’t be further from the truth — no matter how many fans believe it to be true. You didn’t blame those who viewed you and Chan as something more than friends, however, because everyone is entitled to their own opinions when it really comes down to it, and it’s a consequence of being an idol that you needed to embrace regardless of how frustrating it could be at times. All that being said, you and the boys have found a way to bring humor into the whole thing, which oftentimes makes it easier to deal with.

As Chan reached across from your body to swat at Minho with his pillow, you couldn’t help but giggle. “Anyway,��� he continued as he sent his friend a pointed look. “I just think that after being friends for so long, it’s natural for us to become as close as we are. Besides, Y/N always needs me, which makes me very happy.”

His words seemed to warm every cell in your body, these thoughts of his were not new to you since it was something that he frequently mentioned during those late nights spent either working or having a drink together. It was the mere thought of you making him feel as wanted as you knew he deserved to feel that made you content, it was the least you could do for him when he sacrificed so much for everyone in the group on a daily basis.

“I think we’ve earned the right to be this close.” Minho cocked his head to the side, silently urging you to elaborate on your comment. “I mean, I’m not born or raised in Korea like most of the other members are, and the only ones who could really understand what it meant to be homesick were him and Felix. Oftentimes, I would find myself in bed just wide awake because I couldn’t help but obsess over my troubles. Every time my mind was just spinning like that, I knew I could count on Chan, to calm me down.

It’s especially sweet, too, because we all know Chan is a bit of a workaholic, but whenever someone needs him he just…stops and turns all of his focus on us and it made me feel very seen. He listens, and offers his own insights and is just like the big brother I always need around. Usually those nights end with us in the living room, and I’ll fall asleep to the sounds of his keyboards click-clacking as he continues working. Chan just has that soothing aura that helps so much.”

Chan could only watch as you spoke about him, those mini stars that only seemed to appear when watching his members. You held his gaze for only a moment, hoping he could feel the sincerity oozing from your expression.

“I think it’s safe to say that STAYs really do see that.” Minho was leaning forward with his elbows resting on his knees, lips curled up into a soft lopsided smile as he watched the interaction between the two. All of the members shared their own special friendships with you that you adored and appreciated with every fiber of your being, but the fact that Chan was your platonic soulmate was an undeniable fact. “The fact that Y/N is our maknae also probably plays a part in this friendship. Chan, has there ever been a time in which Y/N felt like she was older?”

After a moment of careful consideration, Chan responded with: “I think Y/N can be very nurturing when she wants to be. She’s always making sure that I’ve drank enough water and she often brings me meals when she can because I do spend an awful lot of time working. But other than that, she’s still very much a big baby — OW!”

Your hand stung slightly from when you smacked his arm, guilt seeped into your smile since you hadn’t meant for it to hurt that much. Nevertheless, you stood your ground.

“Would a big baby be that strong?”

Minho chuckled at the scene. “I think you’re proving him right, though.”

“I’ll hit you too, you know.’

“Okay, okay, let us move on from this before you start getting all violent.” Although he was partly teasing, Minho was not a stranger to your slaps that always hit harder than you’d mean to, as though you were a large puppy that didn’t know its strength. “Y/N, has Chan ever felt like he was younger?”

“Yes.”

“You didn’t even think about it,” Chan chortled.

“Don’t have to,” you said with a wicked grin curling up your lips. “He’s a big baby when he doesn’t get any attention and also when he’s sick.”

At this, Minho burst out laughing. “No, you’re right. She’s right.”

It was now Chan’s turn to let his hand fly and make contact with your arm, though his slap was significantly lighter than yours. You still pretended to be distressed due to the pain, clutching the area that he touched and twisting your face in mock suffering.

The questions on Minho’s talking-point cards continued rolling off of his tongue as the interview carried on. It was a time that, had the goal truly been to cover every single aspect of yours and Chan’s relationship, it’d never end. He was the kind of guy you trusted with everything, and you knew he felt the same way towards you. Bang Chan was your best friend, the brother you always needed, and your guide when in the darkness. By the time the cameras stopped rolling almost immediately after your collaborative singing in the end, the promise of buying lunch was on the tip of your tongue as you jogged to catch with his wider footsteps.

💬 a note from green;

First of all, Happy New Years! Hope it’s 2024 is being kind to everyone thus far.

Secondly, thank you for the request my dear Anonnie! I really hope this is good, I’ve never written anything about a ninth member, much less in a platonic way so I struggled slightly on how to do it. I’m gonna be very honest right now and say that I am not a platonic anything haha, my girlfriend (who found my account recently) will tell you that much. We did a lot of “platonic” shit before we finally admitted that we were, in fact, not being platonic at all. So, yeah. I do love a challenge so I really appreciate it!

Finally, I’m finally feeling better! All I have is a mild cough, nothing too bad compared to what I was dealing before so be ready for more posts!

I have watched it and it was good! 😁❤️

I strongly recommend staying until the very end of the credits for a scene of badass Decepticon goodness!!!

MAJOR SPOILERS under cut because I feel the need to write mine thoughts!

⚠️Don't look under the cut if you haven't seen the movie yet. ⚠️

Please watch the movie first, it's good!😁

Okay, my spoilery reactions!

- I really really liked Sentinel's story arc in the film, it has some peak Sentinel Prime goodness(/evilness) in it! Transformers One also features the prettiest Sentinel Prime design that I think that we've ever seen; he's one gorgeous aft helm! A very pretty boy! (His was probably my favourite design.)

- Loved the nod to TFP's Steve; great fan community in-joke!

- I liked how Airachnid was utilized (although I am generally not a fan of her, fans who really like her may or may not like her characterization but personally I thought that it was good.)

- I get why they put the t-cogs in the characters' chests on a thematic level in this movie but my brain couldn't help feeling constantly confused because that's traditionally where a Cybertronian's spark goes (as it is kinda their heart... you know, along with their fuel pump.) To me, and from my vague remembrance of IDW/TFP, the t-cog is an abdominally located part/organ, kinda like a spleen. Honestly it took me half the movie to even notice the disturbing creepy gaping holes in the character's chests so I think that the decision missed the mark thematically anyway.

- Skywarp, Thundercracker, Slipstream, the Coneheads, possibly maybe Sunstorm, Hotlink and Misfire were present, hurray!!! I need to rewatch it a billion times to dissect it frame by frame to identify more seekers once I can obtain it on DVD.❤️✈️ Most of the seekers were kind of only seen in glimpses.

- Skywarp got a line and he sounded fine!❤️❤️

- Jazz's reaction to his frame after he got his t-cog was extremely adorable, can we just please hug him?🥹❤️

- IRONHIDE, WHY ARE YOU TEENY

- Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, eee!! So soooo good to see some lesser seen Autobots! They were even standing together! Yay!

- Blurr, you look weird.

- Ratchet was mentioned!

- There were so many dudes with chevrons on their noggins that I got lost trying to figure out which one was probably Prowl in consequetive scenes.

- Shockwave's scene was hilarious.

- Shockingly... I didn't find myself disliking Bumblebee, even though he was an idiot. I still think he's somewhat overused as an Autobot protagonist character though.

- Elita was standard Elita; no complaints.

- I was somewhat weirded out by what looked like visors on some of the seekers but only because I've never seen that before. Personally, I'm not into it as a design thing as speaking from a scientific brain seekers should have superior vision and not need such things to augment their vision by default, being, y'know, flight frames. To clarify: I think that visors are badass, just rather odd looking and nonsensical on seekers.

- I wasn't a fan of Megatron's voice in the trailer and I still wasn't really a fan of it in the full length film. I got more comfortable with it towards the end as Megatron became more Megatron-ish (aka grumpy and homicidal.)

- The Megatronus Prime plot was a bit weird but I think that it did work really well as an origin story for the Decepticon brand as well as a plot point for Starscream gaining respect (however temporary) for Megs. (I spent most of the movie trying to remember which actual Prime Megatronus Prime had replaced)

- I'm never into red optics immediately equalling evil so I hated the story element of Megs' eyes changing colour. It's such an overused thematic story telling trope and instead Megs should've just had red optics from the very beginning of the story. (But I personally also believe that Decepticons are not inherently evil, nor are the Autobots inherently good. Black and white depictions of the factions are extremely juvenile, which is one reason I loved Earthspark so much because it depicted the Decepticons in shades of grey. I really wish that ES would have gone into Starscream's backstory with Megatron more; we really needed it.)

- Starscream's voice was awful - he sounded like fragging Swindle. I did like the little backstory they put in for his screechiness, but ugh... basically, every Starscream should be voiced by Steve Blum. In my sage opinionated opinion Steve Blum is simply the best Starscream voice actor and if you're not going to have our glitchy flyboy voiced by Steve Blum he should at least be voiced by someone with a snobby British accent so that he sounds sufficiently like the high caste afthole that he is.

- Starscream's neck was distractingly hideous; it looked like a weird fat rubber thing, not pretty at all like other character's necks in the film like Elita-1's. (Her neck was top tier.) I know this might seem like a weird aft thing to fixate on but Starscream is supposed to be sleek and beautiful, fraggit! (The rest of Starscream's design was nice!)

- There are indeed some MegaStar implications if you squint!✈️🔫

- Skyfire is mentioned! And yes, he is called Skyfire! Yay!

- Megatron, how the frag did you get your turret back after Optimus beat you over the head with it?! Do weapons just magically respawn the second someone transforms in the TF One continuem?! Plot hole!!(/maybe they forgot to use the model of turretless Megs in that scene in which I hope they fix this for the post-theatre release.)

- Because I can't remember what Alpha Trion's alt usually is I rather liked his foo dog?/dragon? alt!

- ...why didn't they just find Sentinel's creepy t-cog depository instead? Instead of 'because magic.'

- I'm never a fan of character designs where the Matrix of Leadership is super visible in a Prime's root mode because it's like a 'shoot me here' bullseye target.

- I loved the turbobucks! The way that the deer alerted each other to danger was A+ from my wildlife biology nerd perspective. ❤️

- Quintessons!!! ❤️ Their ship was very creepy and I liked their designs! However... the plot with them was never satisfied... so now there's just three warring factions and I bet the Quints love it.

- Weird as slag that Iacon was the only city.

- How the frag did our quartet of protagonists manage to walk across an entire damned planet without starving to death? And in so little time?

- Fliers should not race grounders: that is not a fair race and it is completely illogical. Fliers would win 100% of the time in races against grounders, even ones named Blurr, that's just physics, I don't care if there are cool magic roads involved!

- As a fanfiction writer privy to fandom lore whenever I see Starscream's wing's literally branded I cringe in sympathetic pain because Primus damnit that would hurt so bad. It would be about 50% more painful for a seeker than other mecha (with the exception of Praxians of course!)

That's about all I can think about at the moment; despite my nitpicking of designs and certain plot points I honestly really liked the movie. It's definitely better than a lot of other Transformers movies that we've had and it was great to finally have one that was fully set on Cybertron, that was 100% human-free!

I'm about to see Transformers: One thanks to my dad!!! 🥹 I don't think I could've gone without his help, he gave me a $20 to go see it because my money keeps getting eaten by bills and necessities. ❤️❤️❤️ (I'm so ready to drool all over whatever cameo appearances Starscream gets hehe.)

[phoenix-fell]

bumblebee got made cannon and people still expect blake to change her mind once the team gets to vacuo and she sees sun. black/sun copium is real

Mm idk I guess this might be a controversial opinion but we'll see. I'm a Bumbleby shipper through-and-through but I don't think shipping should be dictated by canon status. Ship who you like, whatever makes you happy. I have nothing against Black Sun, I don't ship it, but other people are allowed to so I mean, if they wanna write fanfics or whatever along those lines then that's totally up to them and they're entitled to. I just don't believe in like, hating on folk for their ship, you know? I'm happy on my Bumbleby highway, I don't worry about what others are doing in their own lanes as long as everyone's respectful. ❤️

My personal opinion is that the hype from CRWBY etc speaks for itself, I don't think they'll backtrack on BB if that's what you're worried about, I think we can see what it means to them and to the community that it's earned it's canon status.

Hi! May I take part on your free readings, please?

Hmmm... about me, I'm recently playing Animal Restaurant again and I think it's very fun. I love cute animals and food but I hate when a character comes to steal, someone orders food that I can't unlock or stinks the whole place lol (I usually don't notice bc I'm tapping as fast as I can to get customers)

If there's a song (or at least one I really like) is Momotaro by Wednesday Campanella. The tale is also very lively, imagine being born from a peach (is like Kaguya being born from bamboo)

And my fav flower could be lilly of the valley, I would like to have a tattoo with some

If it's okay, it would be nice if clairvoyance or tarot is used. The questions are:

1. What's my ideal career?

2. How will be my life in three years?

3. Am I with my future spouse? (Most of the time I've had readings that sound like him)

Thank you!!!

Thank you for allowing me to read for you! Please send feedback letting me know how accurate the mentions of your current situation are and how things play out for you❤️

I see you working somewhere quiet. you’re at a desk in a bedroom on a rainy day. it’s possible you live in the uk, ireland, or somewhere near there. the colors of the room are a soft pink and orange with some white, beige, and browns. you work for yourself or a small company. possibly a freelance copywriter or graphic designer. things feel cozy and peaceful. you are on a call with someone who speaks softly. it is rare that you speak to people over the phone. i see you doing mainly writing. this feels creative and peaceful to you. maybe you’re writing a book in your spare time. your boyfriend makes you coffee in the kitchen for when you get off your call to take a break soon.

page of swords, the lovers, knight of swords - it will feel very fresh and inspiring. things seem balanced and warm. in a commuted relationship—engaged to be married very soon to someone you’ve known for awhile. lots of projects and activities. you are always moving on to something new. very intellectually stimulated. possibly back in school or taking a random history of poetry course.

strength - i’m psyching myself out with this one… it feels like you’ve got your eye on someone and you desperately want it to be them so you’re bringing up the topic all the time and sticking yourself to their side like one of those annoying dryer sheets you find up your butt halfway through the day and the experience of finding it completely sours your mood for the rest of the evening. more than an answer, this card feels like a warning sign for you to be patient and chill the fuck out. i’m hearing something about enjoying the present moment instead of worrying about where things are going. i’m seeing you having a boyfriend right now where you’ve been around each other for awhile but the romantic relationship is fairly new, think 3 or 4 months ish, and you keep talking about marriage. not even asking him to marry you directly, but asking him for his hypothetical opinion on wedding cakes or showing him your pinterest board of dresses and rings and it’s freaking him out to the point of wanting to break up with you. your energy feels very frantic and fluttery like a bumblebee and he’s afraid of being stung. i see him shutting down emotionally, wanting to spend way less time with you, and making excuses to be at a friends house overnight or throughout the weekend. maybe he’s planning a trip without you. do you guys live together? did you just move in together within the past couple of months? i’m seeing two toothbrushes on the bathroom sink and you talking with a mouthful of toothpaste while he’s taking a dump so maybe it’s not a new relationship but a new living situation? unless you were friends for awhile and things moved way too quickly so you’re already living together within the first 6 months of making it official. those are the words i’m hearing from his head btw “way too quickly”. you need to be more patient.
