#Is my comfort ship and I get to make a playlis

The Bumbleblades Playlist!

Are you tired of having no content? Do you want Songs that remind you of ships you love? 

If you ship Bumblebee/Blades you shall look no further! may I present to you, songs that give me BeeBlades vibes and why.

here is the link to the actual Playlist on yt: Team BeeBlades 

and here on Spotify.

1- Animals, By Neon Trees. There are many reasons but to sum it up, BeeBaldes is a ship that I see as two really good (cute) friends, that are obliviously in love, and well the song says “I kinda wanna be more Than friends.” and the song talks about how  the person wants more from the other. So imagine the 1st one (prolly blades) realizing that their feelings are romantic while blasting this song.

2- Everybody Talks, By Neon Trees. Well, do I have to point out the irony considering Bee is half of this ship? but besides that, I imagine Blades understanding his feelings with “Animals” now... Bumblebees realization comes in the form of this song. “It started with a whisper and then is when I kissed her” idk that things screams BeeBlades for me.

3- Electric Love, by BORNS. well, they are robots, they have electric wires inside of them, right? besides the song is just super sweet and so are they. 

4- Line without a hook, Rick Montgomery. First of is super sweet, and I see BeeBlades as a super sweet paring. “She is Lady, and I am just a boy” I think this reflects how Blades feels besides Bee. Because Bumblebee is a warrior and is well known and he some times feels like a nobody. So is like, for him, Bee is something that is so big he is scared he will never reach it. BUT HE DOES CUZ IS MY SHIP, OK?

5- Rather be, Clean Bandit. This is basically from Bee’s perspective. Blades is really insecure, and Bee knows this, and because he loves him very much, he wants to remind Blades that he loves him. This song give me the vibes for that, and if I could I would go deep into why (but is really long), so imma sum up it up into one sentence “Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me, When I am with you, there's no place I rather be” 

7- Rude, by MAGIC. Okey... I don’t want to go so deep into my own head cannons, but Blades asking Bee’s parental figure (as I hc Ratchetor Optimus)  for permission to become Conjux Endura. Idk, think about it.

8- Wild Young Hearts, By The Noisettes. Okey, the name. But that is not enough, Bumblebee and Blades are really young, and still have much to learn, and good relationships need growing too, and some times that is not so easy. I hope that makes sense. 

10- Put Your Head On My Shoulder, by Paul Anka. Again, BEE. AND . BLADES. ARE. SOFT. BOYS. And overall I just imagine them dancing to this. Plus I just think that “Old music but make it Tik Tok Friendly” is their vibe. fight me.

There are more songs in the Playlist that go with the vibes of the previous songs, and the reason why I am not explaining them is cuz I either would a)Go to deep into my own head cannons, or b) Repeat explanations I already gave.

I hope you like the playlist! If you have any suggestions please feel free to add!

an interview with blueparacosm (they/them)

what are you working on right now? right now i’m working on a multi-chapter merlin au (murphamy, duh). murphy as the sorcerer, bellamy as the prince, octavia as the half-sister sorceress, lexa as the painfully vague great dragon, you get the gist.

what’s something you’d like to write one day? i’d love to write a big canonverse adventure story with murphy and bellamy. i love the idea of a story of about 35k words of them traveling together, getting to know each other better, and having all the conversations they should be having in canon. hopping planets, anomaly shenanigans, cave spelunking, bardo breakout, whatever the hell etherea ends up being. mostly just because i want a snow kiss on nakara. i won’t lie to you. just something big and colorful and fun. the works. if i do end up writing it, it’ll be after the show is over and all these new weird settings have been? fleshed? i forget the phrase. surely it’s not ‘fleshed’… ed’s note: they mean ‘fleshed out’, probably.

what is the fanwork you’re most proud of? definitely “alone with you.” i’m used to writing kind of absurd and fast-paced stories and “alone with you” stands out to me as one of my more genuine fics that takes its time, and i was really surprised by how well that change of pace went over with people who read it. i really wrote that one for myself, it was almost a vent fic about depression and comfort and nature and solitude and other loser dork shit, and so to see that people resonated with its themes was so heartwarming and encouraging. i even had a few people tell me they were laying around, reading it outside, feeling comforted and calmed by the mossy rock of it all. so i suppose it’s my favorite because of the great response to it, and because it was so different from anything else i’ve written and was basically just me testing the waters to see if people would mind if i spent more time on imagery and character development and yet, apparently turned out actually readable. who would’ve thunk?

why did you first start writing fic? god, i must have been 14? so when s2 was airing, and i’d never read or written fanfic or even been part of a fandom, i just loved murphy so much that i had to talk about it with someone, so i joined twitter and inevitably found ao3. and i found i loved fics and i’ve always liked writing but didn’t know what to do with stories after i’d written them, so i thought i’d try my hand at writing and posting something. i think i got a pretty good response on my first few fics (orphaned since then because… good god) for a 14 year old with shitty grammar and a weird writing style and terrible dialogue but a lot of enthusiasm, and i thought it was so much fun to share my ideas and get nice feedback from others, so i kept going. :)

what frustrates you most about fic writing? i’ll be real with you dog: i never feel good enough. i swear i could write a fic with 1000 kudos and 1000 lovely comments and i would still think i could’ve and should’ve done better. it’s easy to forget we do this for fun and for free and that i could be a hell of a lot worse. at a certain point, i think my understanding of what makes a good story surpassed my actual writing ability, so now i’m scrambling to catch up and write something i’m proud of again. fingers crossed for that merlin au.

what are your top five songs right now? “those who can’t, cheat” by clarence clarity “georgia on my mind” by microwave “eggshell” by runnner “nice house” by joy wave “gay in the south”by susto

what are your inspirations (books, songs, other fic)? my inspirations are usually shows for structure and short stories for tone/style! my attention span is pathetic so i barely ever read books anymore which is … not promising for a wannabe writer and i should probably get that figured out if i want to continue improving but we’ll cross that bridge when i am prepared to admit i have arrived at it. but, mostly shows. i love watching tv and am constantly analyzing shows’ story structure and making notes of what i thought worked and what i didn’t like. getting a masterclass in suspense from black sails right now. all television is educational television if you try hard enough.

what attracts you to writing about Murphamy? what first attracted you?murphamy has such good bones. of course i’d want them to be canon, but their personalities mesh so well in the focused and organized and fun world of fics. there’s just something different about them in that they make every single AU their bitch. there’s nowhere they don’t shine and even if they weren’t already my only concern in the world, their adaptability makes them the perfect control variable for trying out a million different writing styles and lengths and genres. pirate au you got it. wizard au hell yeah. sports au let’s hear it for the boys. canon divergence release the beasts. fuck it i wrote them as witnesses to the crucifixion of jesus christ once and it wasn’t even that weird. they’re my favorite lab rats.

besides Murphamy, what’s your favorite ship on t100? i can honestly say i don’t care for anyone else. there are plenty of pairings i could boogie with and plenty of murphy ships that i joke about but none i’m actively rooting for or seeking out fan-made content about. murphamy or bust. i suppose i liked clexa, sea mechanic, and jonty well enough when they were in their prime but all good and gay things must apparently come to an end.

besides Murphy, who’s your favorite character on t100? oh sweet jasper… sweet jasper come home to me…

would you ever write a sheidheda/murphy fic? what about other rarepairs? i absolutely would. in fact i’ll do it right now. a story about those two going head to head would be a literal gold mine do you think this is a funny silly little game? it’s not. the tension between murphy and an ancient sexy demon is something that can actually be so personal but my mutuals are getting increasingly angrier with me for talking about it. not to say i’m stopping. as for other rare pairs i’ve been genuinely interested in ECHORI lately you know like an insane person. and i loved zev/murphy. it’s a cold, cruel world we live in. wouldn’t be opposed to one last gabriel/murphy hurrah before the show ended either. OH! OH! and someone should write some wells/murphy. not me because i’m writing sheidurphy.

what are some things you’d like to recommend? if anyone has a food lion near them, in the bakery they have these boxes of little sugar cookies and they’re only like four dollars but there’s like 25 cookies in there it’s unfathomable. 

also these baller writers on ao3: sapphictomaz, hopskipaway, oogaboogu, sadie18, and maunwocha! 

and for my finale i’m gonna plug my murphy playlist, and my murphamy playlist. because sharing is caring and music is good and i’m proud of them.

it was my absolute joy to interview blueparacosm! you can find them primarily on Twitter at slugcities. my favorite blueparacosm fics are: thirty-five paper frogs, an exploration of Murphy and Jasper’s friendship while they’re on the Ring together; the fantastic it’s good to be me, an absolutely poetic examination of prime!Murphy at the end of season 6; fish boy, the heart-wrenching mermaid!Murphy fic; and lastly, the old magic oddities show, a really weird fic that shows off the adaptability of these characters in a wholly new light.
