I'm curious how becoming a parent/mentor on Cybertron works. Do the ones that want sparklings just go pick a random one from the ground? Is there like a process they need to go through first?

So first off, this post goes into some information on protoform nurseries. However I’ll delve into this further!

Where you are born determines who and what you are. For example, I image the Seekers as being a noble family in a way, as they have their own nursery that creates bots that are able to fly in vehicle mode (a very coveted ability). Also having red eyes, as that indicates a particular powerful spark. So those sparkings are given to Seekers in need of a disciple or ward, helping to sustain the Seekers high status.

With middle class nurseries, I image it’s more of a fill out a form and get assigned a sparkling kind of thing. Middle class transformers don’t really have to take in Sparklings, as any that are not found homes are given to academies to grow and learn a skill, be it as officers, builders, teachers stuff like that. They can be cars, motorcycles, trains, and even boats

Miner Sparklings are born in the mines, no surprise there. All are checked and given batch numbers as names, only some are given more traditional names by caretakers. They enjoy a small time of peace before being put to work in the mines when it’s deemed they can fallow directions. Miners are mostly working vehicles/ heavy duty vehicles, loading trucks, even mining equipment is common.

Wait wait wait, I saw SUNFLOWERS on Amy's grave, does that mean that Eggman hasn't taken over every living thing yet?

By the way, are there flicks and chao in your au :3?

Super fun fact that isn’t depressing whatsoever: The sunflowers around Amy’s hammer were actually made of tin and scrap from the enforcer drone robots. The kids Amy had rescued and taken in (including Tails and Ruby) decided to make as much as they could so her memorial spot wouldn’t feel empty.

They wanted to offer whatever they could since Amy loved flowers :(

For the Chao and Flickies, yes they exist in this AU! Although flickers don’t tend to inhabit any place near New Yoke. The Chao are slowly going extinct due to the lack of resources to survive and the fact that they are considered a delicacy for the rich. They’re also valuable because they shed tiny bits of whatever chaos energy remains in that world (the chaos emeralds and master emerald have been out of commission for a hot minute).

anyway thank you so much for creating this AU I'm already 100% invested and I can't wait to see what happens!!!

Also have a little minish, he thinks you're amazing too!

THANK YOU really! and yeah it takes a while, only the lineart took me like 22h lol, but I really enjoy making it so it’s absolutely worth it! even more because of sweet comments like yours fr

And metal must be my favorite thing to render, it has immaculate beauty and Its actually so easy to do, I probably should make a little tutorial later because it’s so easy so easy to achieve that effect! (just look at that, metal i love u)

also istg that I would rather eat my toe than drawing expressionless art, it’s just one of y favorite things to do, like i live for that so u have no idea how much I like that kind of compliments, jiggling and kicking my feet.

Again thanks, i already have the storyboard for the next chapter! it’s kinda short but it’s what i can do atm, have a little minish too! u surely r amazing

Quick question; What would Jojo the Food Critic look like in Flipline Furries? 🐦‍⬛

Here's all of the Papa Louie furries I've drawn so far!

[pipinpali]

33 and 15 for all!!!

THIS TOOK SO LONG IM SORRY

TYSM FOR THE ASK💥💥💥

"[33] What are one of their fondest and most treasured memories?"

Clementine and Erie's a little obvious,,, But when they met eachother!! Ofc,,,,first meeting wasnt the greatest when one was kinda covered in blood— but this is the happiest either has been!! Clementine already has many good times , but she never felt anymore comfortable with someone other than Erie. And for Erie , Clementine is the only person that understands her struggles and pains even though she couldn't have experienced it herself.,

Brute's happiest moment is also fairly recent (in their little story timeline) but it's when they became friends with Whistle — a little alien girl they were in charge of. Since Brute is pretty much disliked by everyone in the facility they guard , she's the only one who actually considers them as a friend,,

Jone really misses when he was memorable and a perfect kid. Since his parents had another kid and they had pretty busy jobs , Jone never got much attention. But during these times he made friends and was pretty popular,,,until he was just sort of forgotten and became a "typical guy" (gifted kid struggle 😭/hj)

Randall's most treasured moment was when his father was still around , he wasn't necessarily the closest, but they had a good bond. Everything was still calm, normal— at least for him— when his father was there.

"[15] How do they act around people they don't like?"

It takes quite a bit to make Jone mad — and once he is, he's petty. Jone won't say anything about it to the person's face, but he holds a hard grudge and mostly gets back with a couple of "accidental" jabs either verbally or physically. Usually his annoyance is noticeable in his tone of voice or when he bounces his leg,

Erie just kinda,,,,stares at people she dislikes, not that she could say anything really. It really depends on who it is when her annoyance gets to a boiling point— either ignoring them entirely or threatening them violently .

Brute is pretty much programmed to threaten people when they get too upset— both through learned spoiled behavior and the genuine nature they were created with. They like to tease and make fun of those they dislike .cOf course, though, if someone of high authority told them to stop , they would (begrudgingly). They don't really like anyone at the lab.

Clementine is also pretty direct. If she dislikes someone, she'll make it known. She wouldn't really harm anyone though if it wasn't bad. She usually goes for ignoring the person and insulting them .

Randall also takes that approach,,,,,a little more rudely and blunt though. It kinda depends on who he's around but it's usually the same except if it's who hired him . He doesn't like to start fights — even though he's been through more than many .

So what’s the whole deal with Nightflyer and the Predaking?

It an interesting idea- but it’s got me confused

How would Nightflyer possibly have been a Predicon?

Is it by chance or genetics?

So I need to make a proper diagram but this is how basically.

In the lore of my AU, all transformers are born from the ground of Cybertron aka Primus. This also means that unborn sparks are just kinda floating around in the core of Cybertron. These sparks will eventually push their way through the ground, smelting a body around themselves as they become a protoform, then pop out of the ground like carrots.

So a long ass time ago, all transformers were born on Cybertron, didn’t matter what they were, beast modes, vehicles, whatever. Each one was taken in by a different Prime and grew into a transformer reflecting that prime. However when there were too many bots, some primes headed off world to create colony planets, such planets having Energon (aka part of Primus) and allowing for new transformers to be born.

The bot’s on the colony planets would mostly take on a form similar to the Prime that started it, explaining why Some have mostly female bots and one has all beast modes.

So before the colonies happened, Predicons were some of the strongest guys around, no body messed with them. Mostly because they were the first bots to be able to fly. They all were fallowers of Oynx Prime, beast prime if you don’t remember. And his presence at his assigned sparkling well made it so those sparklings were born beasts.

The first sparkling that raised from the ground under Onyx’s influence would grow up to be Predaking, one of the most notorious creatures of early Cybertron. And Onyx loved him with all his spark, however tragedy would strike. Fights would beak out between the Prime’s fallowers, mostly over resources and land, and with all the casualties of the fighting, Predaking would be one of them.

Oynx prime decided to bury his first son in the same place of his birth, the beast sparkling well. It was in hope that the predicons would be remembered even as they left their first home.

Now we get to Nightflyer. Well Sparks have a distinct destiny of what they will be, a flyer, a ground vehicle, a beast, it’s the one thing that Primus choses for them, everything else is for them to decide. Nightflyer’s Spark was meant to be a flying beast like the other Predicons at the time, however before he could start his smelting, Oynx prime and the other beasts left. He would have been born into a world without his own kind. So Primus kept his Spark there…. For a VARY long time.

However after the Great War, Prima allowed for Sparklings to grow from the planet once more, now that they wouldn’t be in such danger. The Sparkling well that used to create Predicons had changed to create seakers, bots that dominated the skies. Knowing that change would come, Primus decided that something from long ago, should have the chance to see the world. And let Nightflyer spark free to form a protoform around itself, making Nightflyer one of the first Transformers in decades to be born again from Cybertron.

He was strong, powerful, intelligent and beautiful, all things he inherited from his Predicon origins… however he was a Jet. And he knew deep down that something wasn’t right, the feeling only became more real when he started to see the ghost of Predaking, the only other bot still alive that was a beast born on Cybertron.

Hy Jase, how are you feeling pal?

I'm not gonna lie, anon. I'm tired asf 😅

It's pretty hard to balance all my social media platforms and school work since it's getting a lot more demanding. As much as I love to create, it's getting hard to find time to draw with all the life situations I'm expected to deal with.

I gotta lock in and really hammer down on spreading my time out more efficiently so I can draw at a reasonable time rather than doodling at 2 in the morning 🙏🏾

[miraculouslbcnreactions]

Can we hear your thoughts on the Chinese Miracle Box? Not the kwami or the Miraculous themselves, but the actual box and how it both functions as a magical jewelry safe/home for the dormant kwami as well as how it affects the story.

Sure! I'm actually completely on board with the general concept of the miracle box. Because the miraculous are not always in use, it makes perfect sense to have a place where they're stored while dormant. It also makes perfect sense to have a guardian who watches over the miraculous while they're not in use and who calls them into use when the time is right. While I prefer to let the Kwamis choose their holders, a human doing the initial vetting makes a lot of sense since the Kwamis have to stay hidden and can't do direct interactions pre-choosing.

I'd only nix the miracle box if you were also nixing the miraculous and having the powers come directly from the Kwamis instead. You could also nix the miracle box and have each miraculous stored in its own place of power that only the worthy can access because that's a lovely classic setup, but it would not fit canon in the slightest, so I wouldn't do that for all of the miraculous. There is a solid argument for a mix of the miracle box and other miraculous in places of power, but let's not get into that here.

While I love the miracle box and wouldn't get rid of it, there are certainly some flaws with canon's execution of the concept. The biggest one is that it's very weird to have dozens of them spread all over the world. Were they made by the same person/group and then spread out? If not, then how did all of these different people/groups learn to make miracle boxes? Do they all work the same way? What happens if someone tries to make a box based on a Force that's in another box? Do you just magically attract whatever Kwami is closest? There are just so many questions raised by the multi-box reveal and those questions aren't just about the boxes. They're about the way that the boxes should be effecting world!

If there are dozens of miraculous spread across the globe, then why aren't miraculous a well known thing in this world? And why didn't Fu seek out help from another guardian group post-Feast? You can also reverse that and ask why other guardians failed to track down Fu? They have magic staves that let you find miracle boxes, this isn't an impossible task!

We're told that the canon box was just one of several boxes held by Fu's group, so I'm guessing that this was the main group? The master order? The one that all of the other guardian groups would notice going missing? Of course, that's assuming that they all know about each other, but I feel like they almost have to given the fact that the Ladybug has previously been seen in both Europe and Egypt, implying that the Tibetan group has done a lot of globe trotting in the past. It would make a lot of sense if the other orders call on the main order when help is needed otherwise how does the Tibetan group keep getting involved?

We also have to ask what the differences are between the different orders and why all of them seem to be inactive? After all, we don't hear of any other miraculous holders save for the ones introduced in the two specials and both of those specials were about giving these new heroes a miraculous. They didn't already have one. The only heroes that were active before the start of canon were the American heroes and they're all non-miraculous superheroes, which raises even more questions like why is America superhero central while China, France, and England are left hero-less? (Just naming those because I think that those are the only other countries that we've seen discussed or visited in canon.)

Dialing this back to the canon box, I like the idea that the Kwamis are awake in a pocked dimension while they're not in use. That's so much nicer than making them sleep, though it does make their season-four naivety feel incredibly forced. (It was already forced based on their age and having previous wielders, but it's even worse if they're hanging out in a pocket dimension and messing with human things. They should not come across as oblivious children!)

Similarly, I love the idea of the memory wipe that we saw at the end of season three, but it makes no sense for that to be the standard way that the box is passed on. It should be an emergency protocol. In fact, I initially assumed that it was! I was stunned when season four revealed that Marinette could only pass the box on by giving up her memories. That makes no sense and raises so many questions like, if Fu was never a "true" guardian, then how did the box get tied to him? And why does it even matter who the designated grand guardian is if anyone can open the box as we see in episodes like Optigami and Ephemeral?

As far as I can tell, being the grand guardian is a pretty worthless role. The only special powers it gives are remote access to the canon box (which we'll get to in a minute) and that whole magically reshaping the box to suit you thing which I still don't fully understand because that's not what happened when Fu got the box! It's appearance doesn't change between the present and his memories. We even have Su-Han claiming that the shape of the box proves your worth as a guardian in Furious Fu while also claiming that Fu wasn't a true guardian and just what?

Marinette: Hey! That's not fair! Why didn't I get a staff? Su-Han: Precisely because you are not a true guardian! This is all a misunderstanding, and the incorrect shape of the box proves it.

This exchange from Lies also makes no sense to me:

Marinette:(notices button on the top of box, pushes it, causing all the kwamis to be freed. She falls over) I thought they couldn't get out? Tikki: Now that you're the Guardian, the box has become just like you! Full of surprises! That's amazing!

Why does Marinette having the box add this feature? This sounds more like something that Adrien would get. And what special features did Fu have? I have so many questions...

In my opinion, the memory thing should just be a standard option for anything related to the miraculous. Any chosen should be able to send their miraculous back to the box at the price of their miraculous-specific memories and anyone holding the box should be able to send it to someone at the price of their miraculous-specific memories. There should be no such thing as a grand guardian who is magically designated.

Similarly, the miracle box should have one shape and never change. I really miss the old design. I thought it was elegant. Now we have the weird egg thing which, once again, makes no sense because why would Marinette's be ladybug themed when Fu's wasn't turtle themed? This is extra true because the new bright red egg look makes it damn near impossible to hide the thing! Anyone would look at the egg box and go "wtf is that?" Meanwhile Fu's box could have sat on a shelf and no one would have questioned it because it blended into the scenery.

I said that we'd talk about Marinette having remote access so let's end on that topic. I think that Marinette being able to access the miracle box via her yo-yo is a neat function of being the designated grand guardian, but since I have mixed feelings about that being a thing, I'm not sure if I'd keep that function around. This is extra true because Su-Han gives us this extremely confusing line in Furious Fu:

Su-Han: Let me remind you about some of the Perfect Precepts that you have broken... Precept 133: A guardian cannot, under any circumstances, wear a Miraculous.

If that's true, then why is the remote access feature even a thing? It's something that you'd only add if you wanted guardians to also be wielders. Even then, a guardian could just open their box, put the miraculous inside of their weapon, and simulate the remote access feature that way so, once again, how is this a feature worth losing your memory over?

And why can't guardians wield? The only major risk that I can think of comes from the stupid remote access thing. That could easily lead to trouble as canon already proved at the end of season four. Outside of that, you could argue that a gaurdian's secret knowledge is at risk if they're captured, but miraculous holders would also have some of that knowledge so it seems a bit excessive to ban guardians from wielding, though I do see a solid argument for them being limited to more supporting roles that minimize their risk of capture.

If remote access has to be a thing, then I definitely would make it less of a security risk by removing the canon "feature" that allows anyone to use the remote access so long as they have the guardian's weapon. That made no sense! It should be something that only the guardian can do, especially since we see that Marinette's yo-yo also acts as storage. How can any rando open it to the right pocket dimension when she presumably has two of them? Or maybe she doesn't? Does her stuff go into the Kwamis' pocket dimension now? Where did it go beforehand? How does any of this work? One again, my questions are endless!

Even if you make the remote access feature more secure, it still creates a scenario where the guardian is arguably too high risk to be on the battlefield unless the situation is dire. With the remote access feature, the villains don't have to find the box's hiding place and the other heroes have no way to truly protect it outside of removing all of the miraculous. But then, since anyone can open the miracle box, is that really such a big deal? I honestly don't know. The stakes and rules around these things are nonsense.

Either way, the remote access feature is simply not a feature that makes sense if you're trying to design a logical magic system. It only makes sense if you're trying to find a way to make it easier for your main character to hand out miraculous without always having to go back to her house or if you're trying to come up with a way to make your main character lose all the miraculous without her identity being outed, which is my best guess as to why the feature was suddenly a thing in season four.

O. ONSLAUGHT. OF BOOPS. WHAT A REVENGE IT IS

[starly-the-scrambled]

Weresif?!? Incredible though I am curious as to how fast did the craft take hold? Was it a slow and steady sorta deal and eventually Siffrin left the camp/tent randomly and was found later by bonnie? What triggered Siffrins full shift was it his fear of being abandoned, or a near death experience of himself or his family? I am very curious.

CRACKS KNUCKLES SO FUCKING LOUDLY.

Okay so lot of loredump and rambling incoming you have opened Pandora's box~

So!! The Craft took hold over the course of a few weeks after Siffrin was injured in a fight against a very strange very agressive very large animal, later discovered to be a high-ranking member of the Beastblessed Cult tasked with gathering more members.

Starts out with him just feeling... a tad off. Restless at night, hungrier than usual (which is already super hungry seriously how does a tiny thang like that eat so much) and just all around Weird Abnormal Feeling you Can't Quite Place until one night it just....

...happens.

Mirabelle is actually the one who noticed Siffrin was missing from camp first, being a light sleeper their abrupt exit started her awake, but she wasn't quite fast enough on the draw to see where they headed. So, impromptu midnight search party! Which Bonnie insisted on joining, and...

...well, they TECHNICALLY did find him.

Just not how they expected him to be.

Bonnie runs back in a panic, Siffrin chasing them, and after a brief standoff Odile (being the braincell of the group) realizes that white hair + black tips + one eye + specific shape of scar = siffrin and stops Mirabelle and Isabeau from royally beating this thing into dust for hurting their friend. And that's the story of the first half-shift~

As for the full shift, that doesn't happen until a while later.

During a discussion on how to best track down the Beastblessed, tensions boil over and result in Odile and Isabeau throwing hands out of misplaced frustration. While Mirabelle takes Bonnie aside so the Old Lady and The Fighter can vent their frustrations by fighting eadhother, Siffrin has a little [very large] panic attack because "wuh oh your family is fighting and it's because of you!!!! its your fault Siffrin!!!!! your family is hurting eachother because of you!!!!!" and ends up fleeing for the inevitable stress-induced half-shift... which progresses into a full-shift because of the intense emotion and now theres a whole other problem aside from Dile and Isa beating eachother up.

It ends up alright but in the moment? shits fucked!

and yeah that's part of the weresiff lore can you tell im deranged
