not to be a freak weirdo but do you think the winged lion would have put chilchuck into a cunty little outfit too if he was dungeon lord. what do you think it would look like

HI ! YES !!! SO !!!! IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS.

jkjkjk but no really i think he would totally keep his regular outfit- but it's in it's purely professional form. No little tidbits of his personal life that allude to his daughters nor his wife, starch white shirt that constantly gets bloodied because he keeps nosebleeding whenever the winged lion is helping him do magic. because he has everything he needs right here, right? He doesn't need more clothes when an exact copy of his family is right here. When his father is still waiting for him at the table. Don't be silly, now.

(rant below)

Also because i personally HC a lot of Marcille's outfit was based off of her mother's funeral gown and her own idea of what a calm and collected and diligent person looks like, so it would be a bit hard to apply that philosophy to chilchuck. Unless we know if he had a really pivotal moment in his life in which an important person seemed to hold a lot more understanding than him/guided him through that? like what happened with Marcille and her mother. Granted his situation with his wife- I don't think he would dress up as his wife (lol) nor do we have any understanding that there was someone else to help him get through it. In any case, he's a professional at heart, and when he's ruling over an entire ecosystem he's in a position that requires a lot of thought- So when the Lion sweeps him off his feet and tells him they'll do it all for them, he's still defaulting in adventurer mode and thinking logically about the best way to keep coinbugs n mimics and all that circulated, but it's only the default. He doesn't make the decisions himself anymore because he doesn't HAVE to. he doesn't have to work anymore because the Lion is helping him with EVERYTHING. so what's the point in putting so much more effort into his outfit, too? (He's just a puppet. He doesn't care for any of it. He doesn't have to.)

Currently working (among other things) on a story that is most likely going to be called "Nooks & Crevices" and is about Bumblebee as well as several other people playing Hide & Seek with him. It will have 6 chapters and fluctuate between fluff and angst.

This is not directly related to this but I'm always so pleased when my word count for a certain scene/chapter is a 'nice' number.

Like. I just now finished the first draft for exposition for the first chapter of this and it is exactly 650 words long. And that is just so very, very neat in my opinion. Makes my brain happy.

I'm aware that it will change because I will edit this at least once (probably more than once because I feel that it is a bit convoluted right now). But for now it is just very neat and makes me happy. :D

And now have a sneak peak under the cut for being so nice as to read this. ^^ And because it will probably be a while before I get to officially upload this. Even if I finish it soon.

Optimus still remembered the cycle he had first taught Bumblebee how to play Hide and Seek well. It had been in the first of those pockets of deceptive non-peace, which had become frequent in the middle stages of the War, after the Autobots had taken in the yellow minibot sparkling.

Early on in the War, when it had still been called a Civil War by the media, after only a few hexacycles of fighting, both Autobots and Decepticons had been forced to concede that the War would not end anytime soon. Rather, it had turned into their new, permanent reality. However, neither of the factions possessed the resources to keep up combat indefinitely. They needed time for their troops to recuperate and their energon reserves to be filled.

Thus, these undiscussed ceasefires had been established. They often lasted only a few decicycles and apart from some minor skirmishes, there would be no major combat. Instead, a cautious and deceptive quiet would settle across deserted battlefields across Cybertron as both factions waited for scouting, inventions or espionage to yield advantageous results before advancing on the enemy once again.

When Optimus and Ratchet had first taken Bumblebee into their care, there had been no more public media outlets left to discuss the difference between War and Civil War; there had not been any in a long time. Temporary ceasefires, however, had long since become a regularity of life.

Still, it had taken several hexacycles before uneasy, combat-free non-peace enveloped Cybertron for the first time after Bumblebee’s rescue out of a collapsed shelter. When the ceasefire finally came, however, it turned out to be one of the longest the factions had seen yet. As quiet cycles stretched into calm decicycles even Optimus had been able to catch up with the never-ending flood of reports and paperwork, allowing the Prime to spend time with his bonded–be they amicae, conjunx or sparkling.

No one could remember the last time they had seen Ratchet this content. When one of Sideswipe and Sunstreaker’s pranks went awry, resulting in a giddy yellow sparkling covered in paint splotches, he did not even threaten the twins with a wrench to the head. Instead, the medic took a photograph to comm to his conjunx before sending the younglings to clean up Bumblebee.

Nevertheless, no matter how good a mimicry of peace this ceasefire may have presented, none of the Autobots could forget that they were living on borrowed time. The fighting would, most likely sooner rather than later, inevitably start up once again, shattering their idyllic fantasy of domesticity. Nevertheless, no matter how much they enjoyed these calm decicycles, none of them could truly forgot the constantly looming threat of warfare–none of them except for Bumblebee.

The newest and youngest member of the Autobot faction had unabashedly relished the apparent peace, delighted by the unusual amount of attention the older bots were paying him. The sparkling seemed completely undaunted, unaware even of the fact that the War had indeed not ended, just slowed down momentarily.

Even if it warmed their sparks, Optimus and Ratchet dreaded the cycle the fighting would begin anew and what the sudden change would do to Bumblebee’s psyche. Still, neither Prime nor medic were willing to rob the sparkling of his illusionary happiness prematurely.

However, even without having to shatter his peace, allowing him to keep his innocence intact for just a bit longer, there were ways to prepare Bumblebee for the realities of the War he had been forged in. They had to. As soon as the Decepticons learned of the new sparkling raised by the Autobot High Command, bonded to Optimus Prime and Ratchet of all bots, he would be a prime target. Just as Hot Rod had been and still was.

Playfully teaching Bumblebee how to behave in emergencies, how to hide and stay safe, Optimus had decided, would just be the first of many covert survival lessons.

It's been a week of many emotional ups and downs with all the doctor stuff (and also I'm pretty sure I'm about to start my period which doesn't help anybody).

Sometimes I'm having a hard time and a friend says something or does something and I'm just overcome with love for my friends and need to lie down a little like I have the vapors.

I'm just having a lot of feelings about the differences between something really hitting your trauma triggers hard when you're alone vs. the same thing when you have people who care about you.

What I love about Plans (the Death Cab For Cutie album) is the sense of life and death in love. "Love is watching someone die / So who's gonna watch you die" or "Love of mine, someday you will die / But I’ll be close behind, I’ll follow you into the dark". Something wrenching about it

I swear you pull off Mario and Luigi's bond perfectly in this AU! (And not just in this AU but in your other art as well!)

I can imagine the adventures your versions of Mario and Luigi go on!

For some reason, Super Mario Odyssey is coming to mind. I wonder how this version of Bowser and Peach would go in that, since Bowser is much more cruel in your verse. I also remember Luigi's Balloon World, where Luigi's so supportive to Mario. I can imagine your version of Mario being so happy to chat with his brother, venting his fears and pains as well as receiving love and comfort and telling happy memories to Luigi too. All while Luigi comforts Mario and laughs with Mario during happy times.

Also, poor Luigi in the Snow Kingdom forgetting his coat, he looked so cold in his overalls. I can imagine Mario instantly dragging his shivering brother to the Odyssey for soup and blankets.

Sorry for the rambling. My point is, your version of Mario and Luigi and Peach and Bowser is soo cool and I love them and it makes me think of what the games would be like in your verse (we need more vulnerable Mario). I just needed to let it all out. Keep up the good work and thank you!

Thank you! 🥹 I'm sure glad you like my portrayal of the bros! I just love them so much. 💞

Also these are all wonderful examples!! While I haven't thought of full adventures for them yet per say, I've often pictured them in a wide variety of very specific scenarios; picturing how each would react to this or that situation, how their interactions would go, what the primary mood would be, etc. 😊 Be it in a context where they're younger, where one of them is feeling down, where there are romantic shenanigans involved or where the setting is cozy and domestic, I find their relationship simply delightful to explore!

And omg YES, more vulnerable Mario ftw!! 😩💯 Some could say that mine is arguably perhaps even a bit too vulnerable, but that's just how I like to present him. 🥺💖 Emotional depth and openness is one of my absolute favorite traits to illustrate, and in my personal opinion, it's one that suits Mario quite well. ☺️

🚗 for the ask game!

🚗 would you trust them to drive you somewhere?

since neither of them actively drive i'll still be generous and say they could realistically get me from point A to point B VERY carefully but tbh even if i'm damn near incapacitated i'm not asking an uncoordinated gay who hasn't driven in years to get behind the wheel. there is life left in my soul that i want to explore

Dick Wolf won’t let Benson be a drunk but every time she’s not on case we see her guzzling back Cabernet, im just saying, the alcoholism storyline would’ve been interesting
