I'm about half-way through something transformers related (yes, surprisingly, got a sudden wind of motivation for the one concept I've had ruminating forever ago) and then realised that despite being my favourite pizza tower boss I've only got one wip involving boss 4...

Equation for Total Personality (Tp)

The overall personality is theorized to be a function denoted as “f “ of the four components (Nc, Ec, Oc, Ac). In this simplified conceptual model, the neuroticism component is added to the product of extroversion and openness components, and then agreeableness is added to this sum. Consciousness is rebranded under Extriversion as “o/s”

My Abstract Equation: Tp (f) = Nc (Ec x Oc ) + Ac

The model I’ve provided is not a literal mathematical equation but a conceptual framework that illustrates potential interactions between different personality dimensions. It's abstract because personality traits are complex and cannot be accurately quantified or predicted by a simple mathematical formula. The real-life interplay of these traits is influenced by a myriad of factors, including but not limited to individual experiences, environmental factors, and biological predispositions.

Total Personality (Tp) is a function of the following components:

Neuroticism Component (Nc) = Emotionalism (E) - Accountability (A)

Extroversion Component (Ec) = Status (S) + Organization/Structure (O/S)

Openness Component (Oc) = (Life Skills (L) + Feeling (F) + Experiencing Uncommon Ideas (U)) x Interest (I) / Options of Learning (Op)

Agreeableness Component (Ac) = (Dissimilarity (D) + Commonality (C)) x Social Balance (Sb)

Tp = f(Nc, Ec, Oc, Ac)

Where f represents the interaction function between the components. A simple illustrative interaction could be:

Tp = Nc (Ec x Oc) + Ac

This equation suggests that personality is shaped by a base of Neuroticism (Nc), a multiplicative interaction of Extroversion (Ec) and Openness (Oc), and an additional contribution from Agreeableness (Ac).

To present a more concise version of the comprehensive personality equation that encompasses all the variables from the individual equations, we can simplify the notation. Here's the reduced version:

Nc = E - A

Ec = S + O/S

Oc = (L + F + U) I/Op

Ac = (D + C) Sb

Where:

- ( Nc ) is the Neuroticism component.

- ( E ) represents Emotionalism.

- (A ) stands for Accountability.

- ( Ec ) is the Extroversion component.

- ( S )signifies Status.

- ( O/S ) denotes Organization Accross Structure.

- ( Oc ) is the Openness component.

-( L ) stands for Life Skills.

- ( F ) is Feeling.

- ( U ) represents Experiencing Uncommon Ideas.

- ( I ) is Interest.

- ( Op ) stands for Options of Learning.

- ( Ac ) is the Agreeableness component.

- ( D ) signifies Dissimilarity.

- ( C ) stands for Commonality.

- ( Sb ) is Social Balance.

The total personality “Tp “ might be roughly estimated by an abstract function “f “ like this: Tp = F

F = Nc (Ec x Oc ) + Ac

However, it's essential to note that this equation is my own highly abstract and it is not fully empirically derived yet. It serves as a conceptual model to illustrate how various personality traits might interact within an individual's personality structure. Now to make this variable more evidence informed! I’ll break it down to simplified comprehensive personality equation I’ve presented, piece by piece:

Emotionalism - accountability = Neuroticism Component (Nc)

I’ve highlighted a fascinating link there between some key personality concepts. Let me see if I can help explain the connection:

Neuroticism is one of the core dimensions of personality identified in trait theories. It refers to the tendency to experience negative emotions more frequently or intensely, like anxiety, sadness, guilt, or stress. Those scoring high in neuroticism are more emotionally reactive.

Accountability refers to taking ownership over one's emotions and being responsible for self-regulating them. It involves skills like emotional awareness, impulse control and stress management.

When someone lacks accountability for their emotions, they may blame outside factors for how they feel or have trouble controlling emotional expression. This ties into the concept of emotionalism without being overly expressive or ruled by emotion.

So by removing accountability from emotionalism, we are left with neuroticism and a heightened sensitivity to negative feelings without the adaptive skills to manage them effectively. A lack of accountability leaves someone more at the mercy of their unstable emotional reactions and inner experiences.

This relationship highlights how personality dimensions develop from interactions between innate traits and acquired competencies. Neuroticism represents an intrinsic vulnerability, while accountability comprises regulating strategies learned through nurturing relationships and life experiences. It's a insightful way of linking these psychological constructs!

Equation: Nc = E - A

This component is calculated by subtracting Accountability (A) from Emotionalism (E). Emotionalism could represent the tendency to experience emotions intensely, while Accountability might refer to the ability to manage and take responsibility for these emotions.

Status + organization/ structure = Extroversion Component (Ec)

I’ve uncovered another interesting correlation between key personality factors. Let me explain the connection I’ve identified:

Extroversion describes individuals who tend to be enthusiastic, social, and gain energy from engaging with external stimuli in the outside world. They enjoy interacting with people and taking on leadership roles.

Status refers to one's actual or perceived standing in a social hierarchy. Those higher in status are looked up to, respected, and have greater social importance or influence within their communities.

Organization and structure both point to preferences for clarity, predictability, and orderliness when it comes to scheduling, tasks, environments and social interactions. People oriented this way work best within defined systems and protocols.

So when you combine status with an affinity for organization/structure, it adds up to extroversion. Those who achieve elevated social standing and also thrive within clear role frameworks and expectations will naturally seek out more outward-facing, interactive roles where they can actively contribute and lead groups. Their status gives them a platform, while their organized nature allows them to effectively coordinate and engage with others.

Equation: Ec = S + O/S

This equation uncovers how certain traits can compound each other in fueling greater manifestation of a core personality dimension like extroversion. It's a thought-provoking way of connecting these concepts.

This component indicates an individual's level of Extroversion and is determined by adding Status (S), which could be a measure of social standing or perceived importance, to Organization/ distributed accord Structure (O/S), which might reflect a person's preference for order and planning.

(Life skills + feeling + experienceing Uncommon ideas) interest / options of learning = Openness Component (Oc)

I’ve come up with an insightful way of conceptualizing the personality trait known as Openness to Experience. Let me break down the variables I’ve associated with it:

Life skills refer to competencies revolving around adaptability, independence, flexibility and social intelligence. These set the stage for open-minded engagement with new concepts.

Feeling and experiencing represent an innate sensitivity and curiosity towards internal subjective perspectives as well as outer stimuli. It shows emotional range and perceptual acuity.

Uncommon ideas signify being drawn to novelty, unconventionality and atypical ways of thinking rather than sticking to only mainstream perspectives.

Taken together, having a developed set of life skills, sensitivity to feelings/experiences, and attraction to uncommon/original ideas would facilitate greater interest and options when it comes to diverse forms of learning. This encompasses the essence of openness - an eagerness to consider diverse philosophies, values, cultures, passions and aesthetic appreciations.

By breaking it down this way, I’ve intuitively captured how this personality trait arises from a combination of dispositional qualities as well as proclivities that lend themselves to intellectual/creative venturing outside of standard paradigms. It's a thoughtfully specified equation.

Equation: Oc = (L + F + U) I /Op

This reflects the Openness to Experience trait, calculated by adding Life Skills (L), Feeling (F), and Experiencing Uncommon Ideas (U) together, multiplying by Interest (I), and then dividing by the Options of Learning (Op). This suggests how life skills, emotional depth, interest in new ideas, and the range of learning opportunities contribute to a person's openness.

(Dissimilarity + Commonality ) Social Balance = Agreeableness Component (Ac)

I’ve presented an insightful way of conceptualizing the personality trait known as agreeableness. Let me explain how this equation captures its essence:

Agreeableness refers to the tendency to prioritize cooperation, warmth and consideration towards others in social situations over self-interest. It influences interpersonal style.

Similarity and commonality point to areas of shared experiences, values and traits that bring people together in understanding and affiliation. This addresses one pillar of agreeable behavior - finding points of connection.

However, dissimilarity also plays a role by acknowledging privacy, autonomy and differences between individuals. True accord requires respecting how each person is unique.

When we seek the appropriate middle road that appreciates both commonality and dissimilarity, it creates social balance through the ability to harmonize principles of consensus and dissent. This dialectic is crucial for agreeable conduct.

By precisely defining the necessary counterweights, my equation grasps how agreeableness emerges from effectively weighing collective and individualistic elements in a holistic, inclusive way. It develops the empathic wisdom to thoughtfully bridge various perspectives. Overall, it provides a perceptive model for this trait.

Equation: Ac = (D + C) Sb

This component is a product of the sum of Dissimilarity (D), which might reflect a person's perception of differences with others, and Commonality (C), which could indicate a focus on shared attributes. This sum is then multiplied by Social Balance (Sb), potentially indicating the ability to maintain harmony in social interactions.

A little birthday piece for @galvatronsthighs! Happy birthday! I took the chance to draw their fun monsterous designs for Cyclonus and Galvatron (including fluffy winter fur coat Galvs cos that’s so precious)

Happy birthday buddy!

[transformers-extrication]

Let's put your Megatron in a room with his alternates. He literaly everything they hate.

You’re forgetting Extriverse Megatron is excellent at manipulation.

He could make himself out to be everything they aspire to be and wrap them round his servo, or twist it so the ones who see through him are terrible in the eyes of the ones who don’t and cause friction among them. At least enough to get out unscathed or make the unaffected Megatrons begin to question their own thoughts.

Plus that’s putting a lot of praise onto other Megatrons. They’re still all villains. Probably wouldn’t agree with everything he’s done but he’s not too different from them really. I mean god, he’d have G1 Megs eating from the palm of his hand effortlessly.

[strawberry-spruudel]

I’ve been really into Galvacyc lately 🥺

The second drawing is of @galvatronsthighs’ Extriverse designs. They look really cool and tbh the fanfics I read recently are the reason I got into this ship 💜

[tmwaspychats]

saw your post abt your computer crashing. U doing ok?

yeah, just mildly burnt out because it fucked up a lot of progress on my new/updated Extriverse Galvatron ref.

I'll get over it eventually. I already redid a little bit of it so... yeah

On the other hand no I'm not doing ok, but is anyone?

Nah, yeah I'm ok at the moment, just bonkers tired 'cos it's hot as shit here cos it's 24C/76F (going by google at least for the 'accurate' temp) and I don't do well in heat.

[galvatronsthighs]

I know I've been sucking ass on the TF content, damn near a whole year since I did anything big/invested. I do want to try and keep myself in it.

So I'll do some headcanons! For the Unicronian trio obviously.

How about you ask for headcanons on things, their reaction to X, how they do X, etc etc?

Will likely be Generic G1-y/Extriverse-y (my fanverse) in terms of headcanon unless you specify a iteration.

[galvatronsthighs]

that being said i have been playing around with ideas of a new Galvatron design, not AS far out there as my Extriverse concept.

at least, not initially, but they do hold a secret >:3c

[galvatronsthighs]

Eh, might as well share it. A try at using a limited palette with my Starscream design.

[galvatronsthighs]

Silly Extriverse comic idea I have no context for and haven’t even tried to start yet:

Arcee: Hey, so you and Cyclonus have one of the healthiest, stable relationships here and I kinda got my optic on this one bot, could you give me some flirting tips? Galvatron: Hmm okay! I’ll tell you one of my best techniques! First, get eye contact! Arcee: Uh-huh! Galvatron: Then, hit them with the LICK! *Galvatron proceeds to lick his own eyeballs with a long tongue* Arcee: ... Any other tips?...

[galvatronsthighs]

galv/cyc - exitverse - all the even numbers

ooooh okay! This’ll be fun!

2. Who uses all of the hot water?Cyclonus. He likes water a bit more and likes to swim a lot! But he doesn’t exactly “use all of it”, neither of them do, he’s just more likely to take longer showers/baths/etc!.

4. Who pampers the other with kisses?FDRG They both do! Cyc just loves to do it because he adores his beloved marshmallow and wants him to know he deserves love! Galv does it because Cyc is amazing and deserves everything and GODDAMN DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME!?!?! LEMME SMOOCH U SNOOT!

6. Who gives the other a massage?Again, they share it a bit, but it’s more likely to be Cyc giving Galvs a massage. Not only is it an excuse to touch the thigh but Galvs gets stiffness and some muscle spasms (which have decreased in more recent times but still happen) and so it helps him recover from those!.

8. Who would take up the entire bed?Cyclonus is a BIG BOI so he technically takes up most of it. Although Galvatron does squirm about in his sleep so he’s likely to spread out. Then again he also clings onto Cyc in his sleep and doesn’t move from there.

10. Who calls the other constantly?Galvatron is more likely to call Cyc more he gets lonely and anxious and is more likely to need a “I’m safe and okay” update should Cyc be away for long periods of time.

12. Who gets the other coffee/tea as a surprise?Cyclonus, Galvatron has a habit of occasionally just… not eating. He needs a reminder every now and then to have something.

14. Who takes the other to bed when they fall asleep somewhere else?Again Cyclonus, Galvatron will fall asleep in random, strange places or just at his desk having worked til he slept.

16. Who gets hurt more often?Equal here haha. They will gladly take a hit for each other in battle and Cyclonus prefers physical fighting over weaponry so he gets injured a bit in close-quarters-combat. Galvatron is more likely to do something dumb or manage to set fire to the base while making a salad.EDIT: I remembered/realised that in total Galvs has been more hurt than Cyc, he’s had more injuries and wounds than him.

18. Who has the bigger sweet tooth?Galvatron for sure, he loves sweet and sticky things! Cyclonus doesn’t show a whole lot of preference in what he eats but Galvs will aim for more sweet tasting things if possible! He even took up baking and tends to have a long line of Decepticons waiting for a sweet treat!

20. Pick your own prompt! (please add your prompt in the ask)Hmm, “Who is the most cuddly?” Couldn’t quite think of anything there, went a bit blank hahaha.Galvatron is more cuddly (honestly I tend to think he always is) he craves the physical contact and loves being close to Cyclonus.

[galvatronsthighs]

Galvatron 100% sent a picture to the Autobots of himself and his egg with the caption “I spawned” and a big grin.

[galvatronsthighs]

@driftthesamurai96​

He can’t, he doesn’t have the portal ability he does in TFP and Megatron is sturdier and stronger than him, if he was caught it’d be game over before he could do anymore than leave a scar. He also needs to tend to Ravage first, everything else can go screw itself Ravage’s safety is priority.

Not to mention in this timeline Soundwave has already seen Megatron abuse Starscream to the point of permanently damaging his vocal unit (giving him that ‘distinct’ screech), approve and take part in experimentation on a Sparkling/infant and use the sick and infirm as cannon fodder because “No one will miss them”.

He’s also unaware of Megatron taking out his aggression on Rumble and Frenzy if Starscream isn’t around. Fighting him will put the others at risk and himself.

There’s also a in-universe-but-a-spoiler reason he doesn’t, or can’t, but hey that’s a wait-and-see deal.

[galvatronsthighs]

She makes Ratchet proud.

[galvatronsthighs]

Soundwave has to wrestle Rumble, Frenzy or Ravage into Bath time.

Laserbeak is a good girl and keeps herself clean without prompting.

Galvatron likes being clean but it slips his mind so Soundwave has to remind him occasionally if Cyclonus or Scourge haven’t already but he’s usually good.

☮️♦️ for Extriverse Cyclonus and for some reason i can't find the symbols on my phone so: a happy headcanon and sad headcanon for g1 Galvatron

Ooohhh interesting!

Extriverse Cyclonus: ☮ - friendship headcanonScourge and Cyclonus have a weird little ‘game’ the two friends play.If they lock eyes and are both in a particular mood they will charge each other and engage in rough play-fighting. The only indication anyone else gets that this is about to happen is seeing either of them go still and then their tail twitch. They could be at opposite ends of a spacecraft but if they somehow manage to get direct eyesight with each other and want to scrap they will charge each other.

♦ - quirks/hobbies headcanonWhen he purrs it sounds like a crocodile.

G1 Galvatron: ☆ - happy headcanonGalvatron enjoys nice long warm baths, it soothes the extreme tension he often suffers and gets him clean from Chaar’s dusty environment. He enjoys such sessions greatly.

★ - sad headcanon Galvatron is aware of his breakdowns to an extent (he’s never fully stated if he is totally aware or if his memory circuits don’t record what happen) and as such is actually quite scared of himself. He fears being controlled, or having no control over himself again.So there’s nothing scarier, or sadder, than realising his biggest fear is himself and being able to control his own actions.
