[heckyeahponyscans]

Excited to see the new Transformer movie, it comes out in September!

[pillbugpaints]

forget the world of gays or the world of lesbians. insomnia comics is the world of bisexuals with mental disorders (THIS POST WAS MADE BY A BISEXUAL WITH MENTAL DISORDERS)

but seriously i tallied it up out of curiousity and out of the 11(?) characters so far designed/planned up for it 6 are bi... i kind of just swerve around cisguy romance because I think i honestly have 0 attraction to cis men and im afraid it'll be like "wow hotcock you are so masculine and sexy but like in a boy way" I DONT KNOW HOW TO WRITE CIS GUY X CIS GUY SHIT !!!! i do know how to write one-sided pining though so their fates are probably sealed already

I HAD A VISION

Or rather, my brain soup came up with a headcanon for the Earthspark cassettes [and Soundwave in turn] at 11pm-

So in Season 1, Episode 7, "Family and Friends", Bumblebee mentions that Soundwave tried to employ one of his cassettes while starved on energon, only for them to explode instead. Now most of the fandom [me included] like to think this cassette was Rumble, because the angst potential. Bro.

Sooo what if I made it more angsty,,,

The cassettes were like peas in a pod, with Soundwave being the latter. Rumble and Frenzy were twins, and being music lovers, they both donned weaponized instruments to bring to the battlefield melodious murder.

While Frenzy had her laser-blasting guitar, Rumble had an electrifying bass, both metaphorically and literally. They synchronized with eachother, using their respective weapons' high and low notes to disorient and disable opponents: Frenzy made audio receptors ring with her guitar's shrill notes, and Rumble made the ground tremble with the booming notes of her bass. Adding Laserbeak and Ravage's support, the cassette quartet was a force to be reckoned with.

But now, the cassette quartet wasn't even a quartet anymore, because Rumble was gone.

Frenzy could still remember seeing Soundwave's chest explode, with Rumble barely having left it. Armour and wiring turned to flame and cinders, blue and red charred black and brown. She could never forget how Soundwave's chest cavity spewed out parts of his internal frame, how Rumble blew up into a hundred pieces of burning metal, how she could hear them scream till their voiceboxes glitched and their sparks practically implode as one of them died.

She didn't remember much after that - thank Primus she couldn't - because the only memories she did have after witnessing her twin's death was a whole lot of pain, unconciousness and grief. She knew Soundwave didn't forgive himself after that; he still hadn't, and she and her remaining siblings noticed how cautious he grew of all their energon consumption, making sure they had enough fuel all the time. Soundwave didn't even seem to care that he almost died in the process, because he was drowning in the abysmal depths that was grief for the part of him that did die that day. All of them were griveing.

And Frenzy wasn't really the same anymore after that. None of the cassettes or Soundwave were. Frenzy didn't have any rumbling bass to complement her sharp guitar, no maroon to go with her purple, no stupid red idiot to playfight and bicker with. Not anymore, not after Rumble kicked the damn bucket and left a missing piece in each of their sparks. For Frenzy, it felt like half her spark was gone, because to her, it really was.

She didn't even get to say goodbye.

When they came to Earth and saw Lord Megatron with the Autobots, the enemy who they'd been fighting for milennia, who Rumble died against, Frenzy knew Soundwave had every right to be furious. She felt her own anger bubble when the traitor tried to coerce them into surrender.

"Don't make this personal, Soundwave." He had said, as if he was the one who lost a sibling, the one who lost a kid. The former warlord would never understand just how much Soundwave and the cassettes had sacrificed for the war, for him.

Frenzy readied her guitar, digits over the chords that would produce the loudest notes she could muster. That was Rumble's job, and it was supposed to stay that way.

She wanted to rupture the deceiver's audials and make his processor implode within itself - even though Rumble was the one who enjoyed it more than she ever would.

"Autobot sympathizer!"

Mom 2

ES Wheeljack x Cybertronian reader

She/Her pronouns used for reader

I might do a part 2 to this idk

—•—•—•—•—

Twitch finds any time she gets to spend with Wheeljack enjoyable, even when he uses this sacred father-daughter time for work purposes. So, when he says he's going to be working just outside of Witwicky for a project she jumps to offer her help, begging not only him but her mom and dad to allow her to help– she is a very capable Terran after all. So, with both of her parent's permission she sets out with Wheeljack into the wooded outskirts of Witwicky to painstakingly push short stakes into the ground, they pulse blue at the very top but once they're covered, she and Wheeljack are the only ones to know of their location. Them and the little notebook she’d been given to jot the coordinates down, a very important autobot mission.

“So much for bonding time,”

The dirt takes the brunt of her anger as she kicks what’s in front of her, scuffing her pristine pede. She almost doesn't hear the crunching of leaves and twigs because of her sulking but the last branch broken was loud enough to snap her out of it, she turns expecting to see Wheeljack. Instead, there's an unfamiliar bot who's larger than her, and holding her arm, that is formed into a cannon, at the ready. Thankfully the femme hasn't seemed to have noticed her, leaving Twitch the ability to transform and fly up just out of sight.

The bot is leaking energon and dragging one leg limply, she’s clearly in pain. This twists Twitch’s spark and fills her with the urge to help but all she can think of is her parent’s disappointed faces and decides to find Wheeljack instead. So, she flies off into the forest, not as quietly as she should have though as the tree directly in front of her suddenly bursts into flame and char. Crap-

“I heard you! Show yourself, Con!” the voice is wavering but confident- Ok new plan, new plans are good. What would Bumblebee do?

“I'm not a con!” probably not that,

“Twitch?” Wheeljack's thickly accented voice is an instant relief as he comes through the woods, confused.

“Wheeljack!-” his name comes simultaneously from Twitch and the mystery Bot who walk towards him, throwing both of her arms around his shoulder pads.

“Sweetspark? What are you doing here,” his tone turns from confusion to worry at the sight of her leg, where energon is spilling from damaged fuel lines “By the Allspark! What happened?”

Their conversion turns hushed as Wheeljack adjusts his volume to the low one of the femme leaned against his chassis but Twitch still catches a few words as she creeps forward, important words being Cons and in the area. Overall, not good is what she got,

“Alright alright. Twitch were leaving before there’s any more trouble,” he’s transforming before she can get a word of protest in, revving his engine and taking off back towards her house after seeing both girls transformed and trailing behind him.

The drive is both quick and horribly slow because Wheeljack is speeding like she’s never seen before but also, she can’t help but try to inspect the leaking car that rides just behind him and rumbles anytime she gets too close to her side view mirrors. She can't help but scout just ahead of them to make sure there’s no unwanted bots in front of them before fly back towards the group,

“See anything, Kid?” Wheeljack's voice startles her from her near trance of flying back and forth from them.

“Nope, all clear up front!” Her voice contorts from the discomforting silence that continues to drag even as they finally drive up the familiar dirt road and see the red barn Bumblebee, Thrash, and herself call home. She quickly transforms back and checks the house, seeing all the lights are turned off and the barn doors are closed tight- everyone's asleep.

There's the creak of metal behind her and she turns to see Wheeljack, back in bot form helping to lift the form of the femme cybertronian who sways unsteadily. “You need to sit, let me look.”

“If I sit down, I don't think I'll be able to get back up,” the bot steadies her helm on Wheeljack's shoulder plate, their hands intertwined in a comfortable manner. It's a scene she's familiar with, loving, like her parents when they are extra romantic or just want to poke fun at their children.

Oh, No way

“You don't gotta get up. Just sit, please,” he’s easing her onto the ground before moving to look over her leg, securing the bleeding which leaves his servos stained blue. “It's not great but it'll do till I can get you back to a medic,” his tone is low and most likely not heard by the bot whose optics struggle to stay open, this was reassurance for himself.

“Who is this,” Twitch’s question startles Wheeljack almost as if he forgot that the young Terran was with them in the first place. “Is she your-”

What does her dad call her mom?

“-your mom? Like mom to your dad?” sounds good.

His optics go wide from this question– spot on. He sputters and there's an audible click as his vents kick into overdrive,

“Mom? No, no- She’s my Conjunx,.” he’s fussing with her damaged leg and trying his best to avoid Twitch’s stare, “So in a way, yes?” A sudden hiss causes their attention to turn to the Cybertronian, who slowly comes to.

She slaps Wheeljack’s servo away from her leg and clutches it. “You did good, so stop Jack. you're killing me,” her tone is sharp and her servos sharper as they turn a annoyed glance from him towards Twitch, gaze softening, “Twitch,”

“You know me?”

“How could I not,” she smiles as Twitch comes closer, settling herself nearly between the two, much to Wheeljack's chagrin.

“But I don't know you,” it's her turn to give Wheeljack an annoyed look which he returns,

“I was gonna introduce you two eventually, just needed to be the right time,” the barns paint chips and the wood creaks unsteadily as he suddenly leans his weight back onto it, rubbing his stained servos over his face plate before giving his digits a disgusted look as the blue stains part of his plate, “And I think it's safe to say this wasn't the right time. I don't even know why you were here,” he turns towards the femme, bewildered.

“We got word that Cons were in the area, no one could get ahold of you, so I went myself. No need to thank me.”

Her smile is weak but playful for a moment before dropping at the quick snark of Wheeljack, who doesn’t seem to catch the playfulness, “Wasn't planning on it”

Twitch watches their interactions but tunes their words out, opting to watch their desperate need for physical contact. The two are sending fierce glares to one another, their servos never untwine even when they are awkwardly twisted around Twitch’s much smaller form- Then it clicks, “You're like-”

“Don't-” Wheeljack's optics widen as he predicts what's gonna come from his daughter's intake and he reels with horror trying to cut her off,

“-my Mom2!”

“Mom?”

“We can have Mom2-Twitch bonding! Science is already Wheeljack and my thing so we can do something else! What do you like to do? Unless you like science too which I'm fine with more of- but I really like-” She continues even with Wheeljack trying to coax her to silence, but her excitement is infectious, and it brings a smile to your face plate.

HERE ME OUT!!!! I MADE A SMURF AU!!!!

(admittedly I got the idea while on Char. Ai, BUT STILL!)

What if...

Neither Gargamel OR Papa Smurf...

Changed Vexy and Hackus into real smurfs?

What if instead they were found by....

I'm calling it my Mother-Willow AU, still working on it a bit.

For some context:

The AU starts before the events of the Smurfs The Lost Village movie.

Gargamel makes Vexy and Hackus using the Smurfette recipe, hoping to make his own smurfs instead of catching them all the time. However, due to either a smudged ingredient or failed memory, he is unable to repeat the results. So he ends up with, as he says; "Two utterly useless failed experiments."

Vexy and Hackus don't have the best first months or years with Gargamel, since, as expected, he isn't the world's best father. He insults, ignores, and pushes aside their issues at any chance. But since they don't have any other role models, or at least a positive one, they take whatever pride Gargamel very rarely shows. Other than that, they spend their days tormenting Azrael or looking for anything to do that would make their creator proud.

One day, while Gargamel is out collecting mandrake, Vexy and Hackus leave his hovel to explore he forest, but end up lost. As they wonder what they should do, wandering the forest, Willow stumbles upon them. Taking pity, Willow brings them to Smurfy Grove, and is able to change them from a dull grey to a Smurfy blue.

She takes them in as her daughter and son, making sure they come to no harm after hearing how they described their past life with Gargamel, and the two never returned to Gargamel's hovel, living in Smurfy Grove instead. They learn the ways of the village, and soon the others accept them.

Vexy and Hackus are very close to their new mother, having never felt such caring love in their lives. Though it took some time, the two are able to put what they know and do to good use. Vexy is often helping Willow with her natural remedies, magic, and spells, while Hackus takes on more heavy lifting duties like building or self defense. Vexy has also taken a liking to stork and dragonfly flying. The two still occasionally prank others, but it's no longer out of maliciousness.

I'm planning on doing some doodles of the AU with more details, maybe even a comic version of the movie with Vexy an Hackus in it. Though it may take a bit since the AU's a little work in progress, I don't want it to be a "and Bumblebee" situation.

I imagine Gargamel, when his future captures Smurfette instead of a different Smurf, he makes an offhanded remark of "Would've been worse if you had gotten the other two," making Smurfette think about that in the back of her mind. I'm also working on how they'd react to Smurfette as well, since Gargamel would occasionally mention to them about having a sister who "abandoned" him when they were still living with him.

Anyways, hope you like my little au, I hope it's not too much.

Fun fact: tfa shockwave is voiced by Corey Burton who also does tfa ratchet and Megatron and Ironhide . I talk about Megatron's sexy voice a lot , (to myself in my head), but tfa ratchet was the one wose dulcet grouchy old man tones made me like "omg who is voicing this sexy ambulance". Alot of tfa VAs voice multiple chars , bumper robinson does blitzwing and Bumblebee

OoOh i honestly would have never even noticed if you hadn't told me. damn, that guy has The Range.

i honestly think that he voices in tfa are kind of really good. i like them a lot.

Non-Urusei Yatsura fans, which of these IS NOT an actual character? (Answers)

The poll is over and thanks to all who voted since it's pretty fun to see how UY characters may seem from an outsider's POV! And since many were curious, here are the answers for the poll. The characters are listed in no particular order, except for the last who will be the fake one so if you just want the actual answer, just scroll down to the end; and since the poll was aimed at non-UY fans, I'll provide context for the real characters' descriptions so there will be character spoilers ahead!!

A cow monster, who is also the most handsome character in the series.

This is Rei, the female lead (Lum)'s ex-fiancee. The description I gave may sound kinda weird but it probably wouldn't sound as weird if I had stated that he has two forms: one being a mostly humanoid form and the other which is the cow monster one. He swaps between forms at random, mostly depending on his mood and comedic timing.

A princess who wants to lose her virginity.

This is Princess Kurama. She's the princess of the alien race, the Karasutengu (Crow Goblins). Since her royal line was fading away because there were no more humanoid men on her planet, Kurama decided to find a suitable man to mate with, but has no luck when it comes to that since her standards are way too high for the any of the males in the series.

A fire breathing bumblebee.

This is Ten. Like his cousin Lum, he is an oni alien and his abilities are to fly and breathe fire. Ten ended up getting a good number of votes in the poll and I'm guessing it's because people thought I meant a literal bumblebee. I gave that description to poke fun at his character design and I'm pretty sure most UY fans were able to recognize him from the description, and his resemblance to bees has been stated in canon too. But if you did vote Ten because you thought he was an actual bee, I am so sorry, please don't kill me, I should have added the word 'alien' or 'kid' to the description.

A school nurse who regularly beats up her male students.

This is Sakura. She is a shrine maiden and a school nurse at the main high school in the series. I don't think I need to give much of an explanation for her description; she's hot and all the male students are horny so it shouldn't be a surprise that she beats them all up.

A woman hater whose diet consists of baseballs.

This is Tobimaro Mizunokoji. He hates women, which is most likely a result of spending time with his rival's sister who treated him horribly when they were children (and she still does, by the way; we'll talk about her next). Oh, and as the description says, he can eats baseballs whole.. and is able to spit them out entirely too.

A teenage girl who kills boredom by plotting and attempting murder.

This is Ryoko Mendo. She is a rich, well mannered young lady and her favorite hobby is torturing her big brother and his rival (aka baseball boy from above) in many different ways for fun. I wanted to add a bit more to explain exactly how sadistic she is but the wiki does it better, so have that instead:

She will throw grenades and bombs at people while acting calm and composed, and yet will cry over them when they return to her charred to a crisp. She often acts in total secrecy without telling anyone of her plans, such as setting bombs in a giant Christmas Cake, turning a giant Christmas Tree into a firework, and retaliating to people by setting off bombs near them. She also shows an interest in black magic, having used hypnosis and voodoo dolls to torment her brother.

So yeah, she's fucking insane and I love her for it. Have my favorite Ryoko image ever as a bonus:

A sheltered girl who ends up falling in love with her brother.

This is Asuka Mizunokoji, younger sister of baseball boy from above. I feel like her she needs the most context since I think this might be the most questionable description of them all.

As per tradition, the women in the Mizunokoji family are not allowed to meet a single male until they are 15, this includes their father and brother; which is the case for Asuka. Because she has never seen a man, she doesn't know what they are (or anything that falls under 'men', like father, brother, etc.) and was raised in isolation by her mother and her family's all female guards. But her first, unfortunate encounter with a man, which happened before the arranged day ends up terrifying her and as a result, she gets a phobia of men, no matter who they are... unless they are a 'big brother'. You see, when her female guards' explained to her what men are, they unintentionally had them sound.. scary; but they also tell her about 'big brothers' (since she'll have to meet hers) who are a special type of man who look like her and are very nice. Eventually, she finally meets her big brother, Tobimaro (who didn't even know she existed till then by the way), but since the description on what a 'big brother' given to her was incredibly vague and because she has no knowledge of how siblings work, she ends up falling for him unaware of how big of a taboo it is. Naturally, it is a one-sided crush since Tobimaro knows better but that won't change the fact that it causes a lot of trouble for him.

Ok, I'll stop here because that took forever to write. Also, I took some help to write the above part from Asuka's page on furinkan.com, I needed a reference for the entire paragraph because Asuka and her shtick needs one hell of an explanation.

A TV addict with zero social skills.

This is Shingo. He is a boy who went missing during an experiment when he was small and because of that, he grew up by himself (asides from some animals) in a jungle. His only source of entertainment there was a TV, which only has historical dramas. As a result, he became very attached to TVs (he used to think the TV was his grandfather, and no I will not explain), even after he was found and brought back to society. He is also terrible at socializing since he grew up on Japanese historical dramas which are incredibly outdated. He is already weak when it comes to interacting with men, but he is the worst when it comes to interacting with woman since he has no respect towards them (again, because historical dramas). I find it funny he got a lot of votes and according to tags, it's because his description sounded more normal than the others, which makes it even funnier because he's like the only character who actually watches TV (asides from watching TV during lunchtime and stuff).

A cowardly kid who aims for a life of crime.

And here it is, the fake one! With how many characters there are, it was hard to come up with someone (for some reason, I can't be creative when I really want to be) but after I posted the poll I realized that there is a minor character who fits half of the description: He is a kid who aims for a life of crime, but he is pretty strong willed and isn't exactly what you would call cowardly or timid (His name is Kintaro, in case you are wondering- he is only in the manga and 80's adaptation).

And that is all! Thanks for joining me here and I hope you have a great day ahead!!

[lisimcpisi]

omg you guys Bumblebee is such an underrated movie and I do not see as much hype for it as it should get

I specifically wanna talk about the scene where Charlie and Bumblebee meet for the first time because ohhh man does it give the warm fuzzies

I never really got into the bayverse movies mostly cuz of the amount of action and violence that I was never a fan of. I always gravitated more towards the story/character-based aspects of TF. So having such an intimate scene between Charlie and Bee hit all the right notes for me

For one thing, it's so jarring, but in a kinda good way, to see Bumblebee's drastic change in personality and demeanor. In the opening scene on Cybertron (which is so badass btw), Bumblebee is this snarky, skilled badass warrior, and despite losing his voicebox and having multiple injuries, he's still able to completely annihilate Blitzwing on Earth. And then here, we see that same bot but with lost puppy energy. He's scared, hides away from Charlie, with the biggest adorable eyes in the world. He doesn't even try to run away and like smash a wall through the garage. He just stays backed up in the corner, watching Charlie.

literally everything that happens once Bumblebee leans into Charlie's hand is so fucking adorable and sweet. Charlie just speaking to bee with the most gentle, calming voice so she won't scare him. Bee just staring at Charlie, whether out of fascination or just being glad this new creature won't hurt him.

AND CHAR GIVING BEE HIS NAME AHHHH I love how Bee just shakes his head when Charlie asks what his name is. He legit just doesn't know if he had a name at all or if he was nameless to begin with (well technically he was just referred to as B-127 but thats not a real name). And the way he just curls up and looks away in embarassment because he can't answer her. It's kinda sad to have an iteration of Bee where he visibly struggles to communicate. Because in the movies and Cyberverse Bee has his radio, and in tf Prime and rescue bots he can still talk through his beeping morse code thing and the bots can understand him fine. But here, he can just produce small whirring and buzzing sounds, and can only communicate through physical gestures and you can kinda see him using his mouth plate thingy to mimic what he wants to say, like when he says "You" when asking who Charlie is. So it's obvious why he's so happy whenever Charlie manages to understand him.

I love the way he perks up when Charlie decides his name. You can almost kinda hear him say "Bumblebee?" through his whirring sounds. And the final shot with Charlie and bee just looking at each other through the garage window is so beautiful as the score wells up. You can tell that despite what Bee has lost, he's glad to have a friend who gave him a home and a name.

Yo, I made a transformers daycare story on the character.ai app and my character got bumblebees attention immediately when she came in. Here’s the story if you wanna try.

https://beta.character.ai/chat?char=GOn88nBcfByy3X-rHMVu3DjXlJAnvTbOPu10wfdTCNs

Hi! I mentioned a while back that I don’t do or use character.ai anymore due to mental health reasons also because I feel like my writing skills have been declining because of my constant use of the app.

Dividers by Firefly-Graphics

[aeonix-posts]

what are your current relationships for characters? (including or not including past relationships)

Let me summarize the relationships, I won't be explaining then FULLY since it'll be too long and complex. I'll start with Megatron!

Megatron - starscream: toxic exes, literally "wrong person, right time" hates each other but at the same time sympathizes for each other. Pure hatred and resentment

Megatron - Optimus: bitter exes who still aren't quite over each other just yet

Megatron - ratchet: never really got along, just enemies in general

Megatron - elita-1: really hates each other, megatrons happy that she's 'dead'

Megatron - Jetfire: Only knew each other during war, killed jetfire

Megatron - Thundercracker: Fond but not too fond, finds her useful and competent. She dislikes him for what he did to sts

Megatron - Skywarp: Only finds her teleportation ability useful, otherwise doesn't like her, and finds her annoying. She only uses hm as a source of income, doesn't care if he dies or anything

Megatron - Bumblebee: He dislikes the scout, and vice versa

Megatron - Ultra Magnus: Used to be acquaintances, no longer sees each other that much even on the battlefield

Megatron - Rodimus: Finds Rodi interesting, annoying, and laughable at the same time(in a negative way). Rodi dislikes him because he thinks Optimus is like that because of him, views him as a villain and nothing else

Megatron - windblade: finds her annoying, too assertive. She finds him annoying and will scold or bicker with him any time there's a temporary truce

Megatron - chromia: doesn't know who she is, sees her on the battlefield only. She knows him but never interacts(well, every autobot knows him)

Megatron - smokescreen: Rodimus 2.0 but more childish. Smoke also dislikes megs

Megatron - shockwave: dislikes his lack of emotions, but finds him useful nonetheless. Shockwave is loyal, but questions his choices sometimes

Megatron - soundwave: close, only one he trusts. Vents to him because soundwave prefers to listen rather than talk, close friends in general. Soundwave finds him bratty but still stays loyal and a close friend.

Megatron - lugnut: finds his loyalty and preaching annoying. Lugnut literally looks at him like he's primus.

Megatron - strika: he sees her as valuable asset. She has no opinions on him, still loyal though

Megatron - other seekers: useful and useless at the same time, they're expendable. They see him only as their leader, otherwise they aren't too fond of him in general

Megatron - cyclonus: Bickers with each other. No longer sees cyclonus since tailgate died.

Megatron - tailgate: who? Oh, that minibot STS killed? Ok.

Megatron - wheeljack: doesn't see him in battle often, knows he makes bombs. WJ likes to bomb him.

Megatron - Prowl: avoids each other at all costs

Megatron - Jazz: finds each other annoying

Megatron - cliffjumper: isn't that the guy I killed?

Megatron - blurr: hates each other in general

Megatron - arcee: "who?" Arcee only sees him in battle, finds him intimidating

...

Tell me if I missed anyone important! I'm trying to remember every character I know from the top of my head so I might have not mentioned the TF chars you were looking for🥲

could i request maybe a mtmte/idw op getting reframed into a minibot and how the others (any chars, i don't mind) would react? i've been thinking about minibot oppy recently <3

This will be headcanons about his thoughts about it and how Arcee, Rodimus and Bumblebee would react. I will admit, aside from MTMTE (which I read close to a year ago) I don’t read the comics often and just read random ones, so I apologize if a character is out of character or it just has small flaws.

Optimus

- During the reframing, he is afraid but would never show it.

- He is fearful about how it would impact his ability to lead, worried that the others may not take him as seriously.

- No matter if the reframing is painful or not, he won’t let it show.

- When the change happens, the first thing he does is spend time alone in order to think about it.

- He pays attention to how life would be different for minicons and uses that wisdom while leading.

- Though the change frightened him, he is thankful for the experience.

- If he is asked if he would change back if given the choice, he’d reply that who a bot is on the inside is more important than what their frame is.

Arcee

- Due to her past, she has complicated feelings about such drastic changes.

- At first she keeps her distance, unsure how to talk to Optimus about how he feels.

- She eventually brings it up by directly asking what he thinks about it.

- They end up having a long discussion about the change and Optimus can be honest with her due to her history.

- She loudly stands up against anyone who makes a negative comment about him.

Rodimus

- He’s surprised at first, but plays off his reaction.

- He refers to the change very causally, hoping that if he doesn’t make a big deal out of it, it won’t be one.

- He hesitates to ask Optimus, not wanting to make the situation worse, but does bring it up eventually

- He tries to focus on the positive and comments how it’s a good learning opportunity.

- He’ll challenge anyone who insults Optimus to a fight.

Bumblebee

- He’s concerned for Optimus as he looks up to him.

- He tries, but fails to hide his surprise.

- He asks Optimus how he feels about the change when they’re alone.

- He tells Optimus that he’s still himself and that’s what counts.

- He’ll argue with anyone who makes negative comments towards Optimus, though he tries to stay calm as Optimus would.

Attentions - Obsession

Đọc và xong vào 20/10-24/10/2024

Tôi thường thiên về 1cp mà hai char dính cứng vào nhau nhưng từ khi vô fandom TF thì umm, thử món mới cũng không phải ý tưởng tồi.

Fic viết về cặp Megatron/Arcee, vì quả tag sla(y)-very của Obsession nên tôi tò mò bấm vào thì nhận ra nó là phần sau của Attentions nên tôi đọc cả hai theo đúng thứ tự rồi viết review cả hai.

Lấy bối cảnh từ series TF:Prime nên tôi lại vừa bịt mắt vừa mò đường nữa rồi.

Attentions: mở đầu là Arcee yểm trợ cho Bumblebee dìu Bulkhead đang bị trọng thương về tới chỗ Ratchet giữa lúc đang bị tấn công bởi phe Decepticon. Chỉ vừa hạ được một tên khỏi lối đi thì ngay lắp tự Arcee bị một đòn lửa quẹt ngang làm mất thăng bằng, tưởng đâu sẽ bỏ mạng tại đấy thì vị chỉ huy phe Decepticon, Megatron, lại một lần nữa ra lệnh thuộc hạ tha mạng cho cô. Điều này làm cô trăn trở rất nhiều, phải chăng Y xem nhẹ Arcee đến thế ư?

Một khởi đầu thú vị, câu trả lời cho thắc mắc trên đã khiến Arcee sợ mất mật nên không biết về sau sẽ ra sao.

Obsession: dark hơn phần đầu, số Arcee phải đen hơn đít nồi mới bị lọt vào mắt xanh của Megatron (đúng hơn là ai dây vào ổng cũng đen đủi hết), không thể nào đong đếm được cô đã trải qua bao nhiêu cuộc tra tấn, hủy hoại từ trong ra ngoài, rồi được tu sửa vẹn nguyên lại và vòng tuần hoàn cứ thế lặp lại.

Cảm tưởng như phim Closet Land trộn với Vật trong tay ấy(dù tôi chưa đọc VTT). Bao tủi hổ, đau đớn từ thể xác đến tinh thần đều diễn ra một cách chậm rãi và rõ nét đến kinh dị. Tôi cảm thấy rất nể phục thị giác và tính kiên nhẫn lúc có lúc không này của mình khi nốc được hết mấy chương đó, dù xét lại thì mỗi chương ngắn ngủn mà nó ớn thấy tía.

Kiểu mẹ gì Starscream cũng là sneaky link của Meg. Tôi yêu cái fandom này.

Tiếng anh trong đây bậc cao hơn khả năng của tôi ở hiện tại nên nhiều đoạn tôi không hiểu lắm. Fic đến nay 24 chương và vẫn đang ra tiếp, tiến độ chỉ mới chớm đổi nên tôi không biết được liệu tương lai Arcee sẽ giữ vững sơ tâm mà chiến thắng hay bị tha hóa bởi Megatron.

I think I just can't write chars bc all of them end up being the victim its like that thing thays like teen titans (and bumblebee!!!) But its me realising I've put aspects of my traumatized self into them

[streakyfreak-me]

Who's your favorite?

If you mean characters, so I'll start with transformers. My personal mains (kins, comforts and RP mains) are Motormaster, Barricade and Blue Bacchus. I still miss my Jallguar, but he lost the whole Liokaiser team, so...

Stunticons are my very very special combiner team, love them all. But love combiners in general.

Other type of favs is chars I'd like to fuck. So that are mostly speedy sportcars (Dragstrip. Breakdown..), or helicopters (Blackout, Vortex. Whirl...). Or this are minibots (yeah it's very kinky...) - Bumblebee, Swerve, Tailgate, etc.

And I love Megatron. Very VERY much.

Also big bois as Deathsaurus, Black Shadow, Overlord and triplechargers: Astrotrain, Blitzwing and Octane.

Hey, there are a lot of them!

Revisiting One of My Nightmare Foods

20 April 2023 

Wow. When I was younger, I learned overtime that the way my father showed love to my family was cooking for us. Although he is definitely skilled in this craft, there were times when his dishes did not appeal to everyone, especially to a picky elementary aged girl. It being his way or no way in the kitchen was usually a blessing, but on this particular summer evening, it was a curse. I remember one dinner specifically, he grilled tuna steaks for my brother, mother, and I. I always liked the canned tuna, the Bumblebee where you simply had to add a bit of mayonnaise, salt, and pepper; however, the texture of the grilled tuna steak was not nearly the same to me. Looking at the dark, charred, grill marks forming a grid over the slab of fish before me, the saltwater aroma rising off it with the heat, my stomach churned. 

At the time, I was not thinking about how my dad essentially gave up his time, his passion, and his love to nourish his family. It was expensive too and as a seven or eight year old, it wasn’t something that I was never conscious of. As an adult looking back, I feel terrible. I wish I had been more grateful or even shared the cooking experience with my father to show my gratitude, even if the finished product did not appeal to my preferences. That is why I chose the tuna steak as my “revisit,” so I can overcome the negative experience I formally had, and if I don’t like it, my dad can finish it and I can feel fulfilled knowing that what I made is being genuinely enjoyed, the same goal he tried to accomplish about ten years ago, something he has succeeded at almost every time but I cannot get the dissatisfaction from the tuna steak out my head. 

~~

It’s a warm day at the beginning of April, the sky is clear and I can comfortably be outside wearing short sleeves. If I was going to get a tuna steak, I was going to make it a positive experience so I could complete the task without resentment. Seafood was never really my thing, but learning about the cultivation of aquaculture in Rhode Island tickled my fancy, if you will. Yellowfin is the most common species served for tuna steaks around this area, bluefin is a popular choice as well. With my boyfriend, I traveled to Dave's Marketplace in Smithfield, Rhode Island. Visiting the counter at the sushi station, we spent about ten minutes staring at the sushi, hoping that a cut of tuna would magically appear because we have social anxiety. After the woman working behind the counter informed us we would not find what we were looking for at her station, we ventured towards the back of the store where the fresh salmon, scallops, and other locally caught seafood was sitting on ice in the display case. Absent, of course, was the one thing I was looking for. 

“Can I help you?” He was a kind man, and he directed me towards the freezer where I found a half a pound of frozen yellowfin tuna from Indonesia, meant to be seared or grilled, yay. Of course, when checking out, my debit card was declined three times because my chip is starting to degrade. I’m a pretty open book and I won’t lie, this enraged me on top of the fact that the back of my phone had shattered that morning and I was in debt to my mechanic. 

Just get the tuna steak and go, I told myself. 

Pondering the ways I would prepare my tuna, I know my father liked to add butter, a bit of lemon juice, salt and pepper, but I also researched different cooking methods along the way and deciphered what I would like, versus the alternative. Some folks enjoy tuna or fish in general more raw (pink/red) in the middle, but I think I would prefer mine well done. Stefan from Stefan Gourmet conducted an “experiment,” searing two pieces of tuna, one sous-vide (low temperature, using hot water and sealing the cut of meat), and the other more traditionally. I am definitely not eating a piece of tuna cooked on low temperature sitting in a water bath, ew (no offense, though). For my approach, I am unsure if I would like to use the grill or sear it in a pan, today would be a great day for the grill alas the tuna must thaw and I have class. Regardless, I know I will be cooking it for at least 10-15 minutes on each side to avoid the fleshy, softer, texture. 

The finished product was pretty appetizing looking whether you like fish or not. To “add flavor” or so I like to call it, it’s probably subconsciously masking flavor. I added a bit of lemon juice and a small slab of butter on top to melt. Cutting into the tuna steak, it wasn’t the white I was expecting, there was still a faint light pink remaining but the redness completely disappeared and it did look cooked all the way through. The same grill marks I referred to before, still there now but instead of a feeling of dissatisfaction I felt a feeling of excitement, pride, and let it be my hunger or not, I was craving the dish set before me. I must have been pretty dramatic the years before, I did not detect any salty air mixed in with the aroma from the lemon juice and the charring from the grill. I was also pleasantly surprised that the dish was somewhat comparable to chicken or pork, a personal benefit from cooking the steak more thoroughly this time. I didn’t eat it with anything else either, no side dishes or appetizers or anything, a bold move but it did not have any negative consequences. Much like I discussed before, the best part of this experience was getting to share it with my father, it is strong to say that I have always had a disdain for food, but I never really saw any particular enjoyment or fun, love, or any other positive emotion with it, it was always just was what it was, food. Here, however, my father and I were talking about the preparation, the result, and even shared the dish together. The best possible outcome, it was to both of our enjoyment, I think it is even fair to say I look forward to the next time I get to try this dish! The most important thing to me is that I was able to turn the negative reaction I gave to  my father into something positive, and I am proud of myself for not pulling apart the tuna steak, adding a bit of mayo, and slapping it in between two slices of bread. No dish is perfect for everyone, but this here grilled tuna steak was perfect to me.

Eat away the guilt 

This time, we are both happy 

This time, we can share
