Me five years ago listening to my friends talk about TF2 and how great it is: “Eh, I mean, it sounds funny but I’m not really a gamer-”

Me, present day, imagining silly little scenarios with an OC x canon TF2 fankid: “. . Okay, so they WERE RIGHT-”

Thinking about a Dungeon Meshi x Warhammer 40k Crossover

Some ideas I allready have:

-Marcille is absolutly like „I will sell my soul to chaos to bring Falin back. I will resurrect the dead gods and if that doesn‘t work, I will create a new one. Not even the laws of reality will stop me from getting my girlfriend back!“ (Not much of a change there)

-Laios beeing a Space Marine and not understanding that regular people can‘t eat literally everything.

-Senshi figthing Tyranids and just beeing like „Yeah, I do that every thursday, they taste very good.“

-Chilchuck killed at least a dozen Comissars, because they made the working conditions intolerable aka treating the canonfodder army as canonfodder. Also he is maybe from Catachan but doesn‘t tell the others because Laios would want to eat the animals from there

-Izutsumi beeing Izutsumi

I know Juniper is likely dead and not coming back.

I know Prism is in hiding and likely not coming back.

I know Solaris left Zoraxis and is likely not coming back.

...but how fucking cool would it be narratively if they all came back to the EOD and Zor was destroyed by their own hubris, the very thing they used to manipulate the main villains of each game?

Like. They thought they were untouchable because they're Zor. They own Zoraxis, they've got access to endless money and resources. But because they treat their workers like canonfodder, they fall at the hands of the very people they take advantage of.

They thought they could rule with an iron fist, they could pick at people's weaknesses and play with them like dolls as means to an end, but ultimately it is all of the people that they wronged on the way, who have seen the way Zor works and have learned little facets of who they are to jigsaw together a solution with all the different things they know to take the doctor down once and for all.

Idk, I think it'd be neat.

assorted Transformers fics to rec (part two!)

first list here! have more fics i missed the first time or discovered since then or were recommended to me by others! if you decide to read these, i recommend leaving a comment if you can to encourage the writers and show some love! 🥰 note: the ones marked with * were ones i read a long time ago and did not reread before adding them to this list, so i am going off the good vibes in my memory

An Act of Revenge for Crimes Uncommitted

canon soup, incomplete, AO3. young Orion Pax wakes up mutilated, empurata'd, and his assailants punished him for the crimes of one Optimus Prime. ooooo this is kind of heartwrenching, truly intriguing and unjust and mmmmm drama. time travel, gore, mind the tags here, a fascinating look at a bad timeline! some of the functionism stuff in here actually helped inspire my own functionist setup in SNAP

Blackout and Reboot

canon soup, complete multichap, AO3. amnesia was not on the table when Thundercracker agreed to go undercover as a human. giant robot aliens weren't on the table when Marissa took it upon herself to help the weirdest guy she'd ever met. it's a match made in heaven. i love this fic okay it's got some fantastic wth moments and TC being TC and Marissa being awesome and just. i like it. the writing could use some technical polish but the action and plot concept are good, and the fun alien/human interactions are my jam. has a sequel i haven't read

Canonfodder*

TFP, incomplete, Spacebattles. a series of harrowing updates from a poor hapless nobody isekai'd into the body of a Vehicon on dead Cybertron, and all the nonsense that spirals from there. i like this one, the pacing can get a lil jagged and the technical skill of the writing is a bit off but that's often the nature of these forum fics, i didn't mind it. definitely love the inclusion of Kup, and space video games, and the limited but interesting choices the protag can make when presented with such a dismal situation makes for a very compelling, journal-style story. if you don't know how to navigate forum fics like this, just use the links in the first post to skip to each snippet

Catching Feelings

TFA, oneshot with sequel, AO3. Bumblebee and Charlie are clearly a Thing, so what's Optimus doing thinking about her so much? honestly i just like this ship concept especially in a TFA context, it's very cute and awwwww poor Op, sorry you're experiencing emotions!

Commonality and Misunderstandings

canon soup, incomplete, AO3. a collection of scenes showing just how humans and mecha can figure each other out, no matter how wide the cross-cultural divide. this is cute! i like the human OCs and the shenanigans. talks about gender perceptions, has some mech-preg mentions, and hits some good emotional moments

the consequences of being a vehicle on Earth - even if only as a part-timer

TFA, oneshot, AO3. out of everyone who has to deal with the legality of autonomous sentient vehicles, it's Fanzone. dear god, save him. a very funny little read that honestly addresses some things i constantly wonder about re: driving laws and the bots. nothing more tortuous than the DMV!

Curious Thing, Isn't It?

vaguely G1, oneshot, AO3. the Ark crew, freshly crashed on Earth and uncomprehending of English, discover one of the tiny squishy native inhabitants. a very cute little scene, i love the variety of reactions and how they treat the kid they found

A Fourth to Remember

G1, oneshot, AO3. it's the 4th of July, and Wheeljack has taken it upon himself to make a fireworks show. lovely little story of his typical nonsense taken large-scale, and some interesting culture collision too!

The Great Space Opera

IDW/TFP crossover, incomplete, AO3. Brainstorm does a whoopsie and uh oh, is that Team Prime in the Lost Light? only a little bit written but VERY fun and i love the mindbending reactions of Ratchet meeting Ratchet. the whole premise is just. mwah

Introduction to Cybertronian Biomechanics

canon soup, incomplete, AO3. a small collection of medical essays and articles detailing a breakdown of anatomy. really fascinating, very coherent explanation that manages to condense canon and fanon into something understandable, perhaps even plausible!

Liberty Island's Decisive Battle: Godzilla vs Trypticon!

Aligned/Godzilla crossover, oneshot, AO3. when Trypticon is resurrected by dark energon and heads towards New York, Fowler remembers a certain other giant lizard monster that might be able to help. Rescue Bots cameo, Miko gets to speak Japanese, Godzilla is awesome, this is just the fic ever

Malto Family Search & Rescue

ES, oneshot, AO3. a Decepticon named Thundercracker shows up at the Malto home in the middle of the night to beg a vital favor: help find his lost dog! SUCH a cute and good and wonderful little fic that fits right in to canon!! i love TC and i love the Malto family interactions and just. oogh lovely little fic. has sequels that i am saving for a rainy day pick me up

marriages of convenience (and the inconvenience of explaining them)

IDW, oneshot, AO3. Minimus is a widower. this fun fact is dropped rather unceremoniously. the painful awkwardness is marvelously in character, there are feelings and funnies and an uncomfortably heartfelt discussion about this matter-of-fact revelation that manages to characterize each of them so well, especially Minimus

Murder Mystery Night

IDW, oneshot, AO3. it's NIGHTBEAT'S NIGHT, BABY! lovely little mystery following around the Lost Light's greatest detective when a fun game night is abruptly shut down by a real actual murder! can Nightbeat find the killer in time?

nothing is more sacred than any other thing

vaguely G1, oneshot, AO3. Skyfire is a nerdy scientist with nerdy friends, which means most shenanigans surrounding him are nerdy. very cute and fun little fic about friends and mushrooms and Starscream being duped! first in a series of oneshots that i haven't gotten around to reading yet but look equally lovely

Objectification

G1, oneshot, AO3. a human and a Cybertronian have very different opinions on who exactly the victim is in an oversexualized music video. stupid funny and good, just the way i like it! last line kills me

Optimus Prime is Destined to Die!!

canon soup AU, incomplete, AO3. poor little Orion is isekai'd into a Cybertronian fantasy light novel as one of the soon-to-die forgettable side characters: the cold prince Optimus Prime. supposed to be MegOp but that hasn't really shown up yet. fantastic premise i leapt at immediately, with interesting royal politics and classic isekai tropey vibes. it's a little slow in places from a lot of (warranted!) purple prose introspection, but i find it cool enough to read through and follow poor Orion adjusting to his new existence!

Return Me to the Stars

TFA AU, incomplete, AO3. when a near-dead little Prime is picked up by the Nemesis, it sparks a lot of shenanigans, mysteries, and interesting political developments, all thanks to Optimus being Optimus. i really love the way this fic is developing, with a terrified Autobot in enemy territory doing the best he can, an expanded cast of Decepticons, a lot of fun worldbuilding, and very engaging and dynamic interactions. features a good bit of whump for our tough lil Prime. tagged as MegOP which is still slowly developing, pretty realistically taking their time to find some kind of even footing without breaking their characterization which i greatly appreciate! the writing itself could use some spellchecking but the plot and pacing are very engaging nonetheless

Scaredy-Car

G1, oneshot, AO3. i love a good comedic misunderstanding and boy the assumptions people are making about Breakdown are WHOOF. kinda cracky, a smidgeon dirty, and just the right amount of loserness that is the entirety of the Decepticon army

The Season of the Smallest Stars

sorta IDW/Stardew Valley crossover?, incomplete, AO3. you weren't expecting a small troop of adorable little robots to help you with your farmwork. a very soft cute little fic, i love it!!! never played SV but it's easy enough to follow along anyway, and i love the cute beeping Lost Light bots helping out our farmer

Second Star From Morning

technically IDW, incomplete, AO3. only a little bit written but SELF INSERT BABYYYYYYYYY gotta love it when your protagonists are aware that this is in fact a fictional character! the panic, the questions, the wahuh?? captivating premise, i hope the author comes back to it someday

Skywarp And The Wonders Of The Unnatural World

G1, oneshot, AO3. their summary sums it up best: "The Elite Trine have a very serious and mature debate on the existence of mythical creatures." extremely funny to me, i LOVE when they're stupid and petty and catty and silly!! Skywarp is so dumb i love him so much

Small Problems*

G1, ongoing series, AO3. average human Crystal finds some shrunken Autobots lost in the big city, and her life only gets weirder from there. an OC-centric series that--spoilers for later in the series--may have been one of the original "human turned into Transformer" fics! the whole series goes from sweet and funny to heartwrenching and angsty, with a lot of in between. i love the OC and sympathize with the horrible things she ends up going through, and also the heights to which she rises! slowburn Prowl/OC, with a bit of love triangle with Jazz in there too (funfact this was the second ever piece of media in which i encountered Blurr)

Sparkless

TFP, incomplete, AO3. a Vehicon left behind finds itself fixed up by a human, and might just gain some personhood along the way. a VERY sweet little story oogh i love this Vehicon!! poor thing i want to give them hot chocolate and a blankie. it's a lovely story with an intriguing premise

Stop Me*

TFP, incomplete (but with over 200 chapters), FFN. Starscream nearly dies at the claws of the Predacons... and then he's alive again, in the past, as if none of that ever happened. a rather (in?)famous fic in the fandom, i've found, although when i first read it i didn't know that. a very interesting take on a Starscream redemption AU, paired with some fascinating outlier power moments! a little bit wooby about Screamer (maybe a lot wooby?), a lot of whump, a lot of emotion, maybe some hints of StarOP idk if that's become an actual ship since i last checked. ymmv on this one depending on your Starscream opinions but i was hooked for the whole time for sure! i need to catch up, it's technically still updating. also the author has another, shorter, complete Starscream redemption fic which i also enjoyed, check that out too

A Streetcar Named Traitor

G1, oneshot, AO3. Megatron doesn't take Starscream's defection well and Optimus has had enough. very stupid, very funny, makes me cackle as Megsy gets dunked on

Sudden Active Development... I certainly feel SAD at the moment*

TFP, incomplete, Spacebattles. another isekai forum fic, this time somebody gets dropped into the body of Nemesis Prime and has to deal with running around as an Optimus lookalike! i like the misunderstandings and the process of adapting to a strange new body. some stilted dialogue, and it gets a little weird about gender perception but i can gloss over that. ramps up with more canon characters, a sprinkling of OCs, and completely taking canon off the rails within the last few posts! this one has threadmarks for easy navigation

Turning Points*

vaguely G1 AU, incomplete, FFN. Prowl was one of the most brilliant tacticians among the Decepticons, and then they destroyed his home. it's gonna be a long climb into the good graces of the Autobots for this defector. an absolutely fantastic character driven piece with a brilliant premise, i love how Prowl is written. and the politics of defecting and dealing with a security hazard, mmmmm good!

An Uneasy Partnership*

sorta G1/Armada/canon soup?, ongoing series, FFN. Alexis keeps an unruly Starscream in her barn. this can only go well. this series is WILD, it escalates and gets worse and then better and then worse again, you root for Screamer and then you hate him, poor Alexis is on a constant horrid rollercoaster but hey, (spoilers), she gets a cool robot body and also a tyrant king boyfriend out of it??? but man is it a long, manipulative, whumpy road to get there. the powerplays and emotional turmoil in their dynamic just keep going and it's fascinating, although probably not for you if you don't like bad power imbalances. it's the end of the world as we know it and whatever comes on the other end is going to be only as good as you make of it. i think this series may also be sort of (in)famous in the fandom? idk i don't pay attention that well

Untitled

IDW, drabble, tumblr. in an unexpected meetcute, Minimus finds himself rescuing Rung. honestly it's just a quick little concept of a conversation but it has captivated me and i'm obsessed with it

[Nightmare Theory] We are heading for a Clone War

Forget Shanks' Evil Twin theory for a second. A Clone War has been foreshadowed with Germa 66 and Stussy. But while they are strong for common wars, Germa 66's soldiers are weak canonfodder and treated as such by their leaders.

Judge, Stussy and Vegapunk from MADS all seem to have discovered something about cloning. But maybe, like the rest of Vegapunk's inventions, it was a re-discovery of something known centuries earlier. Meaning the government could have access to cloning, could have had it for a long time.

Now, what to do with clones ? The government doesn't want a high cost large army which would eat away their food imports. This made me imagine a nightmare.

We still haven't seen much of the God's Knights faces. But what if they all are clones from the same person ?

We could be facing elite soldiers all with Shanks' face… and programmed to learn from their ennemies strongest attacks just by looking at them, just like Shanks learnt Divine Departure.

Which mean that on God Valley, the main price may not have been Devil Fruits, which the Celestial Dragons feed to their slaves for fun, but one God Knight of your own.

[loyaltyworn]

@rxmlxw || continued from x. || cause i'm just gonna.

Unprepared.

It's word that doesn't process inside the weapon's mind. They are always prepared in their mission. Down to the last possible second. The smallest detail highlighted, gone over. Filed down to the barest part of itself so there are no mistakes. Mistakes get people killed. People that are not supposed to be killed. People that are his responsibility to bring out of the mission alive. Canonfodder to some in HYDRA's ranks. But the Asset? They've perfected his need to complete his mission to the point that he does not like losing those he has considered his comrads.

Or is it something else? Something deeper? Something he can't see? Or understand? Or grasp? Or know? Only FEEL the ghost of?

Yes. He's programmed to deal with the occasional twist. The inevitable times where even the smallest scenario that's been prepared for twists into something that isn't. What kind of weapon would he be if he misfires under pressure? One that isn't much use. And use is all that he is. All that he knows.

When the doors open to the guards. When Rumlow is face to face with a barrel that could erase him with the flinch of a finger. As well as each one of the others are? Including one pointed at him? It's not the shouting or the removal of safetys or dropping of bullets into chambers or clicks of triggers that the Winter Soldier hears.

It's silence. And stillness.

A slow breath that exhales into a blur of violence. His fingers clutch a blade because a gun at this closeness is damn near useless and that's the fault in their plan. Because the man beside Rumlow is quick to bury it into the temple of the one who would have ended his handler's life should Rumlow move an inch. The eyes of his would-be assailant were taken out on the blade's pathway there. An agony in one sweep of his blade that left the man screaming and the frenzy that started. Bullets fired. Not from their end but randomly and in a panic from their enemy's. Until one after another. The guns stopped. Fear. He felt and smelled fear fill the room deeper and deeper. From the friendly side, too. Bodies began to litter the floor. Bloodied. Blankly staring into empty space. Limp and lifeless with no hope of being saved. The last two died in quiet resignation. Damn near looking as though they accepted there was nowhere to run.

The last one was dead but still in the grip of a metallic hand squeezed tighter and he heard bone shattering. His head tilted. Skin and mask splattered in crimson. Dark hair hung in his face, stuck to his cheek. Blue eyes barely moved to the source of the voice. Only registering the noise once he noticed the warmth of the touch on his flesh and bone shoulder sinking through the leather. The touch to his cheek comes muted but it's enough to jar him out of his mindset. Blue eyes close and open back onto his last kill still dangling from his hand. He drops it. The body heavy enough to rattle the floor under his shoes. Seathing the knife out of his flesh hand into it's place at his hip, he reaches back with a steady hand and unclasps his mask now that they are alone.

Head bowed forward, he stares down at the body as if measuring the damage and without lifting his chin, he flicks his stare about the room.. seeing what he did through a curtain of dark hair before meeting Brock's stare through the mess, shielded behind strands as if it's on purpose.

I started TTEOTM AND LIKE WHY IS IT BASICALLY A SURVIVING AS A VILLAIN OR TRANSMIGRATED INTO THE VILLAIN/CANONFODDER BL TROPE BUT STRAIGHT

I didnt think they could pull it off but apparently they could... i think the bl aspects does make it more fun tho LOL

[short-wooloo]

The Jedi leading the Clone army is not corruption

Corruption has a very specific meaning and this scenario does not fit it, corruption is the abuse of power, usually with bribery, to benefit ones self or ones allies...

And I don't think I need to explain how the Jedi very much did not benefit from leading the Clone army...

Corruption also is also the willful choice of those engaging in such practices, a person being forced to participate in corrupt activities does not make them corrupt

Which is relevant because the Jedi were forced into this situation (which is kinda the whole point, its a trap), they were drafted into the war by the senate/Palpatine, the other side is an army of murderbots committing atrocities and mass-murder, and the leader of the murderbot side is an ex-Jedi, someone they would feel responsible for

and while were at it, let's just make it understood that the clones were not created with the Jedi's approval (which is EXPLICITLY stated in AOTC), it was done by one slightly-off-his-rocker Jedi without anyone else's knowledge, save for Dooku who was manipulating him

(and when the Jedi become aware of this and hide this knowledge its not corruption either, they're not doing this to benefit themselves, they're doing it to protect the clones)

The Jedi also are not the owners of the clones or the ones who approved their use, both cases are the Senate/Republic, because that's what we literally see/are told in AOTC, the clones are made for the Republic, and the senate votes to sanction their use

"well the Jedi could done (unrealistic option)"

no they couldn't

leading the clones was the best possible option (and again, they were drafted into it), out of several bad options, as it would allow them to help and protect the clones from both the enemy that the clones were ordered to fight, and from the apathetic nat-born officers like Tarkin

the Jedi's other options were:

stay out of the war by leaving the republic, note that this basically amounts to "do nothing" (oh the irony of people saying the Jedi do nothing for the clones yet seriously present this as a preferable/viable alternative), the clones still have to fight, this time commanded only by nat-born officers who see them as canonfodder, and Palpatine carries out his plans without having to maneuver around the Jedi, the war ends, the republic becomes the empire, the clones are used as its enforcers and the Jedi are wiped out, nothings changed, and honestly its a bit worse, but hey! the people who are now all dead didn't "compromise" their morals by leading an army!

2. and the other option is to overthrow the republic...

I really should not have to explain why this is a problem

so aside from the fact that in this scenario the Jedi have overthrown a democratic government on the grounds of "it didn't do things the way we wanted", it doesn't solve the whole war issue, Dooku's still leading that murderbot army that's conquering and murdering across the galaxy, and the sith plans are still active, even if you got Palpatine because ahem, Dooku, seems to me that in this Jedi coup situation their only option is to fight a war against Dooku leading that clone army that still exists

so essentially we've changed nothing except maaaaaybe palpatine's dead and the Jedi are now apparently the self-installed rulers of the Republic

great

and now its time to discuss the narrative intent

popular fan interpretation of the clone's situation is that they're a slave army, and because the Jedi don't comment on it that means they were fine with/approved of it,

while its certainly understandable how one could see it that way it must be stressed that such was not the narratives intent

Lucas, Filoni, and the tcw crew clearly didn't think of the clones as slaves, much as they didn't see the droids situation as such

that isn't to say we can't criticize it, we absolutely can, but we cannot take the silence on the clones' status as indicative that the Jedi approved/had nothing to say

because that wasn't the intent

the Jedi's lack of word on the topic isn't a flaw (and it certainly isn't corruption) of the Jedi, its a flaw of the writing, the Jedi have nothing to say on the status of the clones because the writers didn't care/think about the implications of the Clone's existence

(and there's a whole meta-analysis on the clone's purpose narratively and they evolved in it, from how the original idea was that they were the enemy the Jedi fought in the clone wars inthe initial drafts of SW, to how the role they serve in the movies is to rescue the heroes in aotc, be predecessors to stormtroopers, and to be the instrument that destroys the Jedi, and how tcw and its focus on clones complicated all that)

but importantly we cannot assume that because the Jedi do not comment on the clones' status that means they're fine with it, that kinda goes against everything we know about the Jedi (plus while we don't see Jedi talking about the clones rights-probably because of the lack of thought/care from creators about implications and because tcw is a show meant to entertain children-every Jedi we see displays care and concern for the clones' well being, and the ones who don't are krell and anakin, nuff said)

also no one else in universe comments on it

no one else in universe has anything to say about the clones and their rights, so why are the Jedi (who are forced into this situation) solely responsible? Why isn't it the senators' (who are the ones who actually own the army, sanctioned it, and commanded the Jedi to lead it) responsibility? why do they get a pass? Particularly the anti-war ones like Padme, Bail Organa, or Chuchi, they don't ever comment on the subject either (yeah yeah, in tbb s2 chuchi cares about clone rights, AFTER the war is over, its a retcon) despite wanting to deescalate the war and bring it to a peaceful solution

"tHe JeDi WeRe CoRrUpT-"

FUCKING HOW!?
