Thinking about the fact that in G1 when Megatron was thrown into space by Starscream, Soundwave made an attempt to claim leadership and if he had won, he would've made Astrotrain return to rescue Megatron. (And also the fact Starscream won by shooting the winner on the back)

I'm like 80% sure he was just waiting for Megatron to return and kick Starscream's aft like he always does (because come on, it wasn't the first murder attempt he's gone through) and just sitting there like, “Yeah, I bet he's coming back aaaany moment now”. And he sortof did, but it wasn't Megatron anymore.

Imagine how devastating it was when he realized the fact that he had the chance to rescue him, the fact he trusted too much in fate only to have his routine and plans completely crushed because the literal equivalent of space Satan (Unicron) got hold of Megatron's broken frame and spark.

Like, is even Galvatron the same person? Because despite sharing body and soul, he seems so upset whenever adressing the past of the Decepticons or “himself”. So practically he's a new mech in the end, even if he were to hold all memories of Megatron.

Thinking about how despite all of this Soundwave just blindly follows, even though it's clear that Galvatron has lost any resemblance of strategy or battle/war intelligence. The guy is pretty much just an overgrown crazy power-hungry dictator, and that isn't so different from G1 Megatron, but come on.

Do you think they would ever talk about it? Because I just know that Soundwave would not. The guilt and fear of confirming his thoughts about Megatron feeling alone, abandoned and betrayed by him the few moments he had left before Unicron's arrival would make him simply not want to ever mention it. And Galvatron either doesn't seem to care nor remember, so why would he bother?

Ugh the potential for heavy angst between them in G1 is so good, y'all missing out.

MistyNat Au Prompts

This is here for anyone that wants to USE these prompts. I won’t be using them myself. When I come up with any more, I’ll add them to one of the lists in a different color. or at least try to change the color. but sometimes it doesn’t work for me. 

You don’t have to ask or credit me. Enjoy. 

Teen MistyNat AU ideas

College au: Having to share a dorm room, your typical jock and nerd friendship or romantic trope. Misty always offers to help Nat with her classwork, but Nat wants to avoid Misty's help. Nat can handle her classwork and soccer stuff on her own.

Role reversal Au: Misty is the punk/Gothic girl on the soccer team, while Nat is the weird nerdy girl, the group's equipment manager. 

Theater/Play au: the football team pulls a prank on the theater kids. They end up distorting the play's set. The football team pins the stunt on the girls' soccer team, and the school forces them to help with the play, or they forfeit nationals. 

Robin Hood Au: Nat is robin hood, Misty is Little Jon, Lottie is Maid Marion, Laurel Lee is friar tuck, and the rest of the yellowjackets are merry men. Umm... the males can be the villains.

Animal Transformation AU: (NOT OMEGA-VERSE) It’s just kind of like Animorphs, but not really. They just have the ability to turn into an animal. Maybe they gain this ability when they are in the wilderness. It’s up to you what animals mistynat can turn into (and the rest of the yellowjackets).  

But I’m a Cheerleader AU: the yellowjeckts get sent to a rehab camp (cause all of them are gay as fuck) Mistynat are the main ship. and the rest are side ships that are either trying to get them together or stop them from dating.  

Are You Afraid of the Dark Au: The yellowjackets sit around a campfire telling scary stories. Misty is an outsider looking to join the group. Some yellowjackets are skeptical if she could even mean a frightening tale (cause she is a theater kid, likes to show tunes and dresses weirdly). Maybe Natalie and a few others (maybe Van, Jackie, Tai, and Laura Lee) give her a test to prove she can tell a scary story. And perhaps someone tries to sabotage her frightening tale.

10 things I hate about you AU: (Basically the movies plot) Misty is Kat, Nat is Patrick, Jackie or Laura Lee is Bianca, and Shauna or Lottie is Cameron. 

 FoxFire AU: Misty and four other girls want to make a teacher pay for making sexual advances at them. The principal isn’t on their side and punishes the girls. Misty and the other four girls now including Nat. They break into the school, to get their confiscated items back. This leads to them setting an accidental fire. The girls grow closer but some of their demons are ready to pull them apart.  

She’s All That au:  Misty is unpopular and bullied for her looks. Nat and the rest of the yellowjackets are pretty famous. Their team has gone undefeated in 3yrs. At one of their victory parties, some girls dare Natalie to turn Misty into the school's next prom queen. Natalie doesn’t like the idea initially, but when the girls say they will pay her (insert amount of money here) if Misty wins. Natalie agrees to do it. Misty doesn’t fully trust Natalie, yet she has been crushing on the star athlete for years. So, she lets Natalie help her with her looks while she helps Natalie with her school work. The two grow closer as they work together. Learning things about each other no one knows. When prom comes, everyone, even Natalie, is shocked by Misty’s new look (straighten hair Misty HC goes here). Misty overhears the other yellowjackets talking about the bet in the girl's bathroom. Sadly she knew Natalie was using her; she just hoped that Natalie would come clean and that they were becoming friends. Natalie (and maybe a few other yellowjackets) feels like shit for this stupid bet. Will Natalie be able to earn Misty’s trust again?   

D3: The Mighty Ducks AU: The Yellowjackets are awarded scholarships to a prep school. They must play on the school JV team in their new school colors. Not only that, but they need to learn how to get along with the Senior varsity team. How can they when the Senior Varsity team is always pranking them? Can the yellowjackets hold their team together and overcome the senior varsity team's pranks, or will the team split? As a few members want to prank the seniors back, others want to take advantage of this opportunity they have been given. Besides adjusting to a new school and how they are treated there, some yellowjackets need to learn how to deal with their growing feelings for their teammates (MistyNat, LottieLee, JackieShauna, TaiVan). Will they survive at this school and finally confess their feelings to their teammate, or will they crash and burn?

Adult MistyNat AU ideas 

Medieval AU: Nat is a knight or rouge, and Misty tries to prove she can be Nat's apprentice. Caligula can be Misty's mini pet dragon. 

Parents AU: Nat and Misty adopted (young) Lisa after realizing that Lisa's home resembles how they grew up. Nat is a teacher at Lisa's school, while Misty is the school's nurse. Both women rent a house together. They are both in denial about how they act like a married couple. They are nothing more than housemates. But one thing they do agree on is they care about Lisa.

Pirate AU: Nat and her crew sail the seas striking fear into the hearts of those that challenge her ship, The Yellowjackets. She and her first mate (whoever you think it should be) realize they are the only ship with an all (mostly all) female crew. Sadly one day, they find a woman who claims to be a doctor has stolen away on their ship. Misty is a self-proclaimed doctor that constantly wants more to life, so she decides to sneak aboard The Yellowjackets. Nat realizes that Misty might be helpful even though she is a headache (Misty would be like Stede Bonnet from Our Flag Means Death or AC4: Black Flag, change my mind.)

Person of Interest AU: Nat is Shaw, and Misty is Root. Or Nat is Shaw’s intern/apprentice, and Misty is Root’s shadow/apprentice. 

Bodyguard AU: Misty is a particular person interested in a feral case. Tai hires Natalie to protect Misty at all costs. Though she does warn Natalie that Misty can be a handful. At first, Natalie doesn’t believe her old friend/teammate. Soon Natalie finds out how wrong she was to dismiss Tai’s warnings. Can Natalie handle this job, or will Misty be the end of her?

Never Been Kissed AU: Misty has to return to the hell hole that was once her high school. As a journalist, she must go undercover and discover what teens are into nowadays. Shauna, the school's English teacher, decides to help her. That is, if only Misty helps Shauna get closer to her daughter Callie, a popular girl. Misty agrees to help Shauna. Everything is going according to plan until Misty's old high school crush starts working at the school as a guidance counselor (or Radio teacher) Natalie Scatorccio. Will Misty be able to keep her promise while keeping her job, or will her past be too painful? 

Either Adult or Teen Au ideas

Buffy Au (crossover): Nat is a slayer in training (probably under Faith or Buffy... maybe both), While Misty could be either a witch (training under Willow AND Tara cause Tara didn't die) or she could be a vengeance demon (like Anya)

Fake dating au: Misty asks Nat to pretend to date her, hoping Walter will lose interest in her. Nat only agrees to do so when they "break up" Misty promises to leave Nat alone. 

Arranged marriage au: Maybe Nat's parents and Misty's parents are business partners, and they want to keep the business in the family, so they decide that their kids should get married.

Xena Au: Nat is Xena, and Misty would be Gabrielle

Groundhog's Day au: Misty is sent back to either when she broke the black box or the night she killed Nat. If she doesn't stop herself from doing one of those things, that day will start over until she figures out what to do. (Like if she picks the day she distorted the black box and fails to not destroy it. That night she'll have dreams of future events. But they'll only not come true if she does destroy the black box. And if she picked the day she killed Nat, she'd have symbolic dreams about that day.)

 The Crow Au: You could make up your own Crow story or follow any of the movies/comic books. Cause honestly both Misty and Natalie would make for a great ‘immortal’ character that wants to get revenge on those that kill her lover.   

Wild Things AU: (Kind of similar to 98′ movie. but not really) Nat and Misty come up with a plan to get revenge on their guidance counselor (cause maybe he is a dick). Maybe they end up killing him (or whatever) and now they have to cover it up. Or they just expose him for the dick he is. (yes i know the girls are the villains in this movie. I don’t care cause I’m changing stuff, deal) Maybe the fall in love or in bed along the way. 

Viking AU: Idea coming soon?! I hope lol

A pianist, alone, scared, afraid, and with no meaning, no purpose.

And now he has nothing, but music.

Problem

Taylor Swift said it first,

The Problem is me.

I look back over the mess that was done,

And wonder where it all went wrong.

I should of known the first time we met,

That you were years ahead,

And I was far behind,

Drowning,

In myself and my mind.

I'm the problem,

I should of admit that sooner,

But then I see

A memory,

A thought behind the faded kaleidoscope of time.

Where it wasn't just me.

That you were a problem too.

Just didn't want to admit defeat too soon.

Are you looking for a new writing challenge this May? Then why not try the "May Mixtape Challenge"?

This challenge is easy to participate in - all you need is a music playlist and a willingness to let the music guide your writing. Start by shuffling your playlist and selecting the first song that comes up. Listen to the lyrics, the melody, and the overall mood of the song. Let your mind wander and imagine a story that fits with the music.

The beauty of this challenge is that there are no right or wrong answers. You can interpret the song in any way you like and create a story that speaks to you. Maybe the song is about lost love, and it inspires you to write a heart-wrenching love story. Or perhaps the song is upbeat and energetic, and it inspires you to write a story about a character overcoming a difficult challenge. The possibilities are endless.

You can participate in the challenge as often as you like - try it once a week or every day for the entire month of May. It's up to you how much you want to challenge yourself. For an extra challenge, find a random playlist online instead of using your own - this way you can perhaps even discover some new music you've never heard before.

The "May Mixtape Challenge" is a fun and creative writing challenge that is perfect for anyone looking to reignite their passion for storytelling. With no rules or limitations, you can let your imagination run wild and see where the music takes you. So put on your favorite playlist and start writing – you never know what kind of story you might create.
