i have to do every meme u rb bc friendship code. but tfp soundwave, my most jealous wife. gimme the hcs 🫵🌸

(TFP Soundwave, IDW Sunstreaker, IDW First Aid, and IDW Ravage have all been asked for! Feel free to send in an ask for any character that isn't one of these four 🌸❗️Not limited to followers or mutuals, so go wild!)

First Impression: Oh, this design FUCKS. My first watch-through of TFP happened when I was very young so I cannot remember much of my first impressions of each character, but I do remember really, really liking how Soundwave looks in TFP. More than that, I LOVED the idea of Soundwave being a stealth aircraft + his full-face glass visor. While Knockout was, and is, my favorite character in TFP, Soundwave was also very up there when I was first starting to watch the show. Keep in mind I was a kid so I wasn't having many mega-brained thoughts on him quite yet. I thought he looked sick as hell, he was cool when he fought, and I wanted his gender.

Impression Now: It's a mix of two things. One, not only does this design fuck, but given the chance I'd tap in a heartbeat, no one could pull me out. And two, he's um... well. He's not much of an actual character, is he? I believe he is one of the Decepticons we see the most, but it feels like he's in the background for most of his scenes. And aside from his loyalty to Megatron and his care for Laserbeak, we don't really know that much about him. He doesn't really have personal relationships with the other 'Cons outside of Megatron and Laserbeak, he doesn't have any hobbies from what we can tell, he's got a bit of a snide sense of humor sometimes but not often, and he's mostly shadowing other characters when he is on-screen. Plus, we never get to see extra moments with him like we'd get with the rest of the Decepticons. It's a bit of a shame. He's still one of my favorites of TFP, but his rank is a bit lower on the leaderboard now that I've watched the show a few times.

Favorite Moment: Very hard pick. There are a handful of scenes that I really, really like with TFP Soundwave, but I think the one that stands out to me the most is when Laserbeak is injured by Wheeljack and Ratchet, he abandons his fight with Wheeljack to go to her once he gets her signal. This is probably the most characterization we really get to see for this Soundwave. I go back and forth on this scene a bit because it feels icky that Ratchet and Wheeljack refer to Laserbeak as an it/a drone so often, so it's one of my least favorite scenes in general, BUT it's one of my favorite scenes for Soundwave because we get to see his care for Laserbeak.

Idea for a Story: I would LOVE to read/write a fic or see art of Soundwave returning to the Decepticons after being captured by the Autobots and learning that Megatron intentionally did not go to save him. Like I am sure this is something Soundwave understands already, but I want to see him realize that he was essentially abandoned and left in Autobot hands by the one person who he'd sworn loyalty to above all others. Soundwave was going to be tortured. He could of died. And Megatron wasn't even willing to go after him, despite everything Soundwave did for him. I would eat this UP.

Unpopular Opinion: Do I... do I have an unpopular TFP Soundwave opinion? Not sure. I'm not sure if I'd really call it unpopular, but it's an opinion I don't see very often. I wish we got to see Soundwave outside of Megatron's influence. And I don't mean having Soundwave while Megatron isn't in charge- we had that before. I want to see him act outside of Megatron's will. The leader/servant dynamic is one that is only interesting to me if there is conflict between the two parties, OR if there is an equal level of respect and care between the two. That is not the case with TFP Megatron and Soundwave. Sure, Megatron values Soundwave, as Soundwave is one of the only consistently competent people around, but he doesn't care enough about Soundwave to protect him. Value ≠ care or respect. It just means Soundwave is useful to Megatron.

Favorite Relationship: Soundwave and Laserbeak. Easily. She's the only person Soundwave seems to give a fuck about outside of Megatron, and it's very clear that this care is returned, as Laserbeak was the one who went after Soundwave when he was captured by the Autobots. I wish I had more to say here but Laserbeak is even less of a character than Soundwave, so there isn't much to go off of. I also like that this Soundwave actually has a gap in his armor that Laserbeak docks to, rather than just his usual tape-deck. It makes it obvious that the bond he has with Laserbeak is singular, as there are no other cassettes present in the TFP show, and it makes it feel more personal.

Favorite Headcanon: Soundwave does not have a conventional face under his mask. I might not know WHAT is under there, but I do know that I hope it is cool as fuck, and a face isn't going to cut it. Give me a mess of wires connected to his glass visor. Give me a single glowing optic and a fucked up mandible mouth. Give me anything that isn't two eyes and an average mouth. Make him fucked up!!

@tacticalvalor:

A part of her had known the comment wouldn't come across right. There just wasn't a way to put it succinctly; to say it without the air of judgment—the methods used to interrogate whatever prisoners were brought in were just… so brutal. Violating. She had seen it many times firsthand. Through Sokolov. All those she couldn't learn the names of… And herself. She still shivered under the scrutinizing gaze of Colonel Volgin, memories of her own interrogations running rampant in her mind each time her eyes met his. It was a sick, sick game… But it was one she participated in nonetheless. A facade she could not afford to let slip, especially now that she had an ace up her sleeve; a way out of this mess. She just needed to wait for the right time to spring the maneuver, which meant that, in the meantime, she would simply have to put her own skill sets to use. To charm her way into good graces. "I…" Her voice softened, vibrant blue eyes peering just over the rims of her glasses as she'd studied Raikov's expression. She smiled, attempting to placate the Major. "No, of course not. That wasn't my intention." A pause as she thought over her next statement, all the while watching him. "It was… a silly suggestion. What would I know about such matters, hm?" continued.

raikov cannot stand tatyana.

it was bad enough that this WHORE had wormed her way into groznyj grad through attempting to STEAL the love of his life and REPLACE him, but the fact she never seemed to SHUT UP with her USELESS opinions on every little thing that happened made him close to homicidal. were he as animal as he feels at times, the hairs on the back of his neck would be standing on end, hackles raised, teeth bared and clenched and beauteous face contorted into a snarl.

but alas, his animal nature exists in metaphor alone for now, and the most he can manage is a discontented wrinkle of his nose and a twitch of his upper lip.

" exactly. " he bites with a scoff. " nobody cares about your bleeding heart, soft touch bullshit. i dunno what makes you think you have a say in anything that goes on around here. "

but he does know. and it gnaws at him. despite how he attempts to persuade the colonel that his woman is most definitely not deserving of him, and really she's incredibly suspicious to have shown up here out of nowhere, and sokolov is a pushover anyway, wouldn't it be better to just kill her and be done with it ? but no, no, the colonel has a physical affection for her, god only knows how, and despite their differences in treatment at his scarred hands, she was gifted the same privileges as he was. and it makes him sick.

" being a glorified concubine doesn't mean you're in a position of authority, y'know. maybe i should remind you of just how low you rank. " he can't hide the bitterness in his voice, the quiet creak of leather from his clenched fists. the major turns to her with purpose, rage, shoving his face close to hers, the scent of their perfumes mingling and clashing. " besides, why do you even care about human trash ? unless there's something you wanna share. "

That whole Gudako anime thread having someone treat me like an idiot when I pointed out their continuity argument is bunk (because apparently acknowledging that Camelot and Babylonia is incompatible because 100 faces and Touta are confirmed to appear in one and are completely absent in another is the "most stupid thing they've ever heard") will be the start of my villain origin story, maybe.

Oh it’s great how they shift their goalposts on why they don’t think a female protagonist won’t work constantly don’t they? 🙄

Like:

The statement: it would mess with continuity to make the protagonist female after having them be male for the other adaptations

The rebuttal: continuity has already been broken by having flashbacks that show characters that then don’t appear in the actual adaptation of that part, suggesting it’s a different timeline

The response: uh well that’s stupid (doesn’t actually address the continuity error or even acknowledge it)

The statement: switching to a female protagonist would confuse anime onlys

The rebuttal: there are plenty of franchises that switch protagonists out, while there may be some confusion the first time it’s done you’re vastly overestimating how much people will be bothered by it. If precure or sentai can hard reset their universe every season with the same core concepts carrying over and literal 5 year olds can figure out the same general rules for the setup still apply then adults should also be able to handle it

The response: hooooowwww dareeeew you act like all sentai use the same basic premise don’t you know ultra man isn’t even produced by toei (you did not mention ultra man) marvel is also tokusatsu I’m going to derail the shit out of this bc you made the rookie error of mentioning 3 franchises made by the same company. I’ve never heard of Warriors or guardians of gahoole or avatar and the idea of a media franchise changing its protagonist scares me

The statement: a female protagonist wouldn’t be profitable, there aren’t enough female players to make it worth doing

The rebuttal: at least 40% of fgo players according to surveys are female and by the most recent survey for the 7th anniversary they’re actually the majority at ~58%. You can’t say that they aren’t a profitable demographic when you’ve never tried marketing to them

The response: uh but that’s a famistsu poll they don’t count my 2019 poll saying it was 30% (still a significant number?) is from an offical source (no you don’t get to know what that source is)

The statement: well they can’t use her because then they’d have to pair her up with female servants and they wouldn’t want the gay implications!

The rebuttal: assuming that they suddenly get cold feet on lesbian fanservice if it isn’t ‘comedic assault’ like in lwm they could just…pair her with male servants? Those exist? Or, yknow, focus on telling a story instead of solely pandering to self inserts

The response: uh but they don’t want to pair her up with guys bc she needs to be a waifu >_<

My actual response to that: SHE ISNT SUPPOSED TO BE A WAIFU FOR THE MALE PLAYERS. FOR GODS SAKE SHE IS THE ONE CHARACTER WHO SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO EXIST INDEPENDENTLY OF MALE DESIRES AS A REPRESENTATION OF THE FEMALE FANBASE. ILL FUCKING KILL YOU

The statement: uh but she died in the fgo command room in the fuyuki anime

The response: bitch that was literally an Easter egg that wasn’t the actual master

The rebuttal: but she’s dead! They can’t ever reboot or disregard their own canon! Especially a franchise like fate, which is known for being super set in stone and never going back on events that have already happened

And repeat ad nasuem. Like we get it, as soon as a women does anything that isn’t hanging off the arm of a guy it pisses you off but god DAMN the shitty argument tactics piss me the hell off. Just say you don’t want a serious female protagonist with your chest and quit making these garbage excuses
