"i do sometimes have issues with tfp starscream portrayals esp when it comes to people assigning certain body parts to him because he is more 'feminine' , while other more 'masc' bots have other parts, but that isn't what this is about." I don't mean to prod but what do you mean by that? I think I have an idea but can you be a bit more descriptive if that's okay?

Long post and this is somewhat nsfw so Im gonna tw for like spike(penis) and valve (vagina) discussions.

I'll leave this convo under the cut. tons of nsfw discussions about my personal gripes and preferences. this is just MY take based off of my opinions

so...lemme be clear that if you've read my fics and my hcs, i see all cybertronians to have both a spike and valve, regardless of their gender. that's just something i like because these are fucking aliens. they don't have to follow human standards of genatalia or whatever, and when most of that is done i feel it tends to just reinforce a lot of misogynstic and heterenormative ideals. Do I think that some characters, regardless of their parts down their prefer to be like submissive, dominant or switches yes--but i also don't think that that means they have less or more parts.

my issue with tfp starscream is that during most nsfw art and fics, people just draw him or either describe him as having a valve - like he doesn't have a spike. and okay that's fine that is the right of the artist or writers.

the main issue for me comes when other characters, who are describes as more masc and dominant, only have spikes. tfp starscream being described or drawn as overly feminine and submissive and being an alien that just has a valve, whereas the very masculinine and sexually aggressive mechs he is with all have spikes...to me it just seems like spikes and valves are being equated to both sexual positions and cis-bio essentialism and a bit of sexual gender roles. it's also slightly transphobic. becuase why is an alien species still following the whole 'oh - he's a feminine guy, submissive and he just has a valve and is getting penetrated. he can't have a spike because that's not feminine. and we all know that only valves/vaginas are feminine whereas spikes/pensis are masculine.' while the 'big muscular sexually dominant guy has a spike and he doesn't have a valve at all because masc bots don't have valves because that's to feminine' it's just...idk...i don't like it.

if you've read any of my tfp stuff you know that i see starscream as a submissive person, and he is usually getting penetrated during sex BUT at the same time, he has a spike, and he has a valve and i don't see him as being this person who only has a valve because he is feminine. i also don't see him as being submissive because of how he looks. that is another issue to me that i see people tend to lean toward because people who see tfp star as submissive suddenly see g1 as like dominant or something because he's not slender and skinny like tfp star. god that's another issue.

even if he is being penetrated by someone--idk mostly megatron in my tfp fics, megatron uses his spike for starscream but he also has a valve. and if you've read my recent fics you know he certainly has been using that thing. like megatron being big, large and in some cases with certain partners sexually dominant an masculine does not mean he doesn't have nor use a valve. just because he looks a certain way and acts a certain way in some relationships doesn't mean he doesn't have one. but i see tons of people tend to like eqaute valves and spikes to how characters present themselves.

it's just - we've go these alien cultures and creatures and i hate seeing how a lot of gender roles, misogyny and cis-essentialism is still packaged in these ships. it's also transphobic and some of it can be dysphoric reading. i really do not interact with tfp starscream nsfw because i know what to expect. and a lot of the obsession with him just having a valve/vagina becuase of how he looks and presents himself, coupled with the idea that a spike/penis isn't feminine and solely masculine makes me feel disconnected from a lot of fans.

and i actually do hate the word heterenornative because i don't think anyone here knows how to actually use it. it has just become the dog whistle for 'portrayal of ship i don't like' but when it comes to assigning valves and spikes to certain body types i do hate it.

Pic 1: We all know these people.

Pic 2: Girls names are from Tucker's PDA in Beauty Marked. You can find fandom wiki pages for all of them except for poor Annie who for some reason seems to have no mention.

FANON: Agent F (Brittany)

Boys names have come up in conversations. Nathan has been called both Nathan and Lester. His full name could very well be Nathan Lester regardless of if the two different names were on purpose or they simply forgot he already had a name. (Or you could make them identical twins.)

Pic 3: We all know Jazz. Others are one-off characters who have a name but we see them only once. Spike appears in the Mystery Meat with Jazz:

"Spike, you have to open up to your parents! Be true to yourself and them."

Nate makes an appearance in Attack of the Killer Garage Sale :

"Here's your pizza, Sam."

"Thanks, Nate."

Lyle is a band kid from Splitting Images :

"Hi. I'm Lyle. Wanna help me clean my spit valve?"

This is his instrument
