OH MY GOD, your tags on the childhood fave vs. current fave post. :D I can't stop thinking about Aziraphale being unwilling to unleash his celestial powers on this poor creature - and then Piglet just hitting a level of panic where he goes AAAAAAAA and hits poor Aziraphale with the nearest chair and discorporates him.

Oh man, this is even better than I was visualising when I wrote the tags.

(The tags in question:)

I think the thing I keep dwelling on is like - does Piglet know that he's in combat with an ethereal otherworldly being? Or is Aziraphale as far as he's concerned Just Some Guy? Like, I'm fascinated pondering whether Piglet's anxiety is capable of giving him a shot of adrenaline with enough juice in it to convince him that there's anything to be gained in taking a swing at an angel.

Am I over Name and Soul? Fuck no. That fic broke me, alright? Angsty shit boy Boba under I'mma give you one more chance Plo Koon?

;--; The tears I have cried when I read this in one seating has me in a wreck okay. Sometimes I re-read it because crying is my hobby, okay? ;--; It's not even finished and every time I reread it I am just

Everytime I see posts like this I get filled with such profound sadness

Cause you know who has the same brainrot as you? The same unhinged feelings as you after you've read the fic? The person who always wants to scream about the fic with you?

THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT

I never used to leave comments but since I got into the habit of commenting on everything i enjoy it's been incredible. Especially when the author gets back to me about it and we get to have a discussion of what other ideas they had. One writer replied to my comment with a 5 paragraph essay detailing the Floorplan of the building the characters lived in and it was incredible

Anyways this is all to say that if you find a fic that just makes you want to scream from the rooftops, leave a comment saying that to the author and maybe they will join you and you can scream incoherently together

I recently read "The Echo Garden" through seeing the fanart you'd reblogged earlier this week. Do you have any other TF fics you could recommend or are endeared to? Any iteration, any ships, no matter how obscure. I am superior ᕕ(⌐■_■)ᕗ ♪♬

oo okok i've got way too many fics bookmarked,, here are some that are relatively short but sweet and very dear in my heart <3

(all of these are from ao3, some of them require u to be logged in to read <(_ _")> )

(Peace)Time Constraints by Insecuriosity - really fun, shockwave and first aid bonding over being weird little freaks is a dynamic i didn't know i was craving but i'm now convinced of its value

Wireless Connections by stormandstarlight - miko being miko is truly a force to be reckoned with,, soundwave and ratchet are both going thru it and this fic feels so much like the trajectory of a typical episode i love it

Intelligence, or vision, or the truth by Sroloc_Elbisivni - seriously one of the coolest humanformers fic i've read! focuses on hilarious+doomed megop but the worldbuilding of this story goes so hard as well (if you enjoy this author's style, i also highly recommend their Spontaneous Earth pieces!! such fascinating juicy ideas abt alien culture,,,,love it)

Belonging by MeinongsJungleBook - idw bumblebee/starscream/windblade happy end fic,, so so fluffy and sweet,, heals my heart

Connect The Systems, Start The Music by Spector_Author - super cute, fun confession story that i'm including here in order to push the jazterwave agenda,, theyre so silly and slightly dumb and they mean everything to me

Drifting Together by NyonSuperstar - dratchet road trip banter my beloved,, domestic life, close quarters, directionless bickering,, its like the laundry and taxes

An Abstract on Collaboration by Decepticonsensual - two old doctors just being friends <3 devoting your life to healing and helping people in spite of everything,,, having a friend who understands you,,,aghg i love them ;-;;

(physician, heal thyself) by absolute_minimum - ambulon and whirl is another dynamic i didn't expect to become a fan of,, idk how to explain it exactly but the vibes are impeccable and the dialogue is so delightful so ,,give it a read :)

Sari's Mom Has Got It Goin' On by IvyCorp - one of those fics with a premise that feels borderline insane but when you get invested in it you REALLY get invested in it,,, tfa megatron best mom fr

Fic Fest FAQs!

Welcome to the official blog for the first Transformers Kinkfest!

This promptfest will be running for two weeks from 17 - 31 October 2024, with daily prompts (based on your submissions). The list of prompts will be released in August to give you time to write/draw/create - then, once the fest starts, share your creations for each day's prompt!

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN 18+ EVENT.

What kind of prompts will these be?

Each prompt on the main list will be a Transformers-specific kink. There will also be an alternative list with broader prompts (like, say, bondage). Feel free to pick from either list or combine the two, and feel free to make different decisions on different days - up to you!

As for what Transformers-specific kink means: basically, these are kinks that rely on/take advantage of Transformers being Transformers. These can include kinks that depend on Transformer physiology, like fuel-siphoning or alt mode sex, but they can also depend on Transformer culture, like faction roleplay. (Those have all been suggestions to date, btw. :))

What if I have a prompt idea but I don't know what the kink would be called?

Totally okay! We're flying without a star chart here - it's not like even the estimable TF Wiki has a list of Transformers kinks :D. Describe it as best you can, and I will try and sum it up for the list as best I can. There will probably need to be some explanatory notes to the prompt list...

How do I suggest a prompt?

Send an ask with your prompt idea. I can't guarantee that every idea will be included - it will depend on how many we receive, and I'll also use my discretion when it comes to picking prompts.

Just to keep things organised, please send your ideas here to @transformerskinkfest. (However, I will also include any that end up getting sent to the mod's blog at @decepticonsensual.)

Please keep in mind that the prompt is just the kink. Don't bother to include a specific pairing or a specific continuity, as these will not be part of the prompt list. (If you did include these things in an ask you submitted, that's okay, but I'm only going to take the kink idea part of the ask.) Speaking of -

What characters/continuities can I create for?

Anything under the Transformers umbrella! That includes shows, films, comics, games, novels, and that Optimus Prime Potatohead, which is actually canon. We live in an age of marvels.

What if I can't create something for every day?

No worries! Create as much as you want to. If you contribute something for a single day's prompt, that's awesome, and if you do it for every day, that's also awesome.

How do I share my fic, fanart, or other creations?

Post on your own account and tag #transformerskinkfest or #tf kinkfest, please!

Please make sure you TAG/WARN FOR YOUR WORK APPROPRIATELY. (A warning that you aren't going to warn people - like the "Choose Not To Warn" tag on AO3 - is fine, provided that readers have to choose to click through to your creation after seeing that warning.)

That title looks like it says Transformer Skink Fest - is this a festival for fanfic and art about Transformers becoming lizards?

No, but now I wish I'd thought of that.

Dashboard Coincidences, feat. @decepticonsensual and @wizardarchetypes

[ckret2]

I thought about Megatron & Starscream as I wrote this! I wrote a longer post on this a few years ago, but my favorite Megatron+Starscream dynamic is when Megatron is the better military leader and Starscream's the better political leader—so since we always see them during wartime, Megatron's always the better leader and Starscream keeps falling short; but in peacetime, the Decepticons (and Cybertron) need Starscream.

Very similar dynamic to Optimus and Rodimus! Except while Megatron and Starscream are clawing at each other's throats for the crown, Optimus and Rodimus are going "no, you should take the Matrix back. No, no—I insist. Really. You deserve it. I could never measure up."

Hot Rod or Optimus Prime for the leader of the autobots?

I think we should give it to Prowl a month and see what happens.

Serious answer: neither of them are actually the sorts of characters I get emotionally invested in—I'm a villain fan, I'm here for the Starscreams and Soundwaves and Shockwaves and Tarantulases rather than the Optimuses and Hot Rods and Bumblebees and Ratchets—so no real preference on a "who do I like better" front. So let's talk in-universe leadership ability.

I'm mainly drawing my characterization from IDW here.

Depends on when we're talking. In wartime, it has to be Optimus. When faced with a difficult choice where there's no good answers, Optimus would sadly and wearily shoulder the burden of making the hard decision (and/or delegate the hard decision to Prowl), and get ever more mournful and broody, but get the job done. Optimus keeps the Autobots from losing the war.

When faced with a difficult choice, Hot Rod/Rodimus would try to Kobayashi Maru it, every time. He'd refuse to accept the difficult choice. He'd shoot for some impossible idealistic scenario where everything turns out better than anyone expected and nobody has to do something that will eat at their conscience like acid.

In a comic/cartoon the idealist doing the crazy impossible thing that saves the day makes for a great story, so Roddy always wins—or at least always wins when it matters—but we're pretending this is an in-universe decision where battles are decided based on who had the right strategy rather than who made the most narratively poignant choice and when an impossible plan works it's "really damn lucky" rather than "the obvious outcome for a good story."

And in universe, Roddy's losing the war unless he surrounds himself with much harder soldiers who will make the harder strategic decisions—and then he might, like, not listen to those soldiers.

AFTER wartime, though—Optimus is too much a product of the war. He's no longer optimistic enough to help give Cybertron a bright future. His policymaking is based on preparing for threats to their new peace, rather than making the peace as good as possible.

It's gotta be Roddy. Post-war Cybertron needs his energy and positivity.

(Again—this mostly applies to IDW. In, say, G1, I'd say they're equally optimistic and equally bright shining beacons of hope, so they're ranked the same there—but Rodimus is more likely to make immature mistakes so Optimus would make the better leader during OR after war, at least until Rodimus is a more seasoned leader.)

As promised, here are the requested doodles! We got some FFXIV stuff @dashtumbles orange cat boy and a Korpokkur! Got a stepping chicken and a loooong pigeon!

Five Ships & Five Fandoms

Got tagged by @croik (Thankee, I love these things :D) This one's hard cause I've not been actively invovled in 5 fandoms proper, but here we go!

Dennis Collins/Arthur Lester, Malevolent. The hired killer, and the one worthy prey that got away~ The terrifying scenarios, the obsession, the thin, thin line between wanting to fuck someone and wanting to kill someone. My current otp, if that term applies for this fuckuppery of a ship.

Cyclonus/Tailgate, Transformers IDW1. This one was the hardest. So many good ships. I generally enjoy fucked up dynamics the most, but once in a blue moon there comes a ship that is so beautiful and tragic and built on a love so pure that it makes me melt a bit inside. The slowest, loveliest burn in canon I've ever read.

Darth Vader/Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars. Hot space wizards! Mentors, to friends, to enemies to a myriad of fucked up possibilities, specially with Anakin post-barbecue :cheff's kiss:

Harold Finch/John Reese, Person of Interest. Mastermind recluse nerd and his unwavering faithful attack dog that cleans up very, *very* well. He literally picked him up from the street cause it would have been a waste, what more can I say. I'd read a million D/s stories with these two.

Emhyr var Emreis/Geralt of Rivia, The Witcher (games). Hot old men of dubious morals! Endless political power vs endless physical power! 'You are the only bastard on this world who won't grovel at my feet and dares disrespects me on a daily basis' vs 'You see me only as a serviceable weapon, not to be feared or shunned, but to just be put to use'. Both emotionally damaged to hell and back. I love them your honour, I could eat this with a spoon.

Tagging @horseboneologist, @asininestars, @saltbright, @decepticonsensual, and @jarofloosescrews, and anyone else who wants to do it!

Transformers Yuletide Literary Fest - Day 2

Welcome to the Transformers Yuletide Literary Fest! I'll be recommending one or two fics every day until Christmas. Feel free to join in if you'd like (I'm using the tag #tylf2023 for this.) All fics are complete!

(If I can easily find a Tumblr account for the author I'll tag them. If you know of an author who has a Tumblr account and I didn't tag them, please let me know so I can add it! )

Fics in my recommendations will come in two different flavours: tangy and spicy. 😄 As always, curate your own online reading experience, and mind the tags if necessary for your own safety. ♥

Tangy

Title: You Hold the Weight of Every Moment

Author: @decepticonsensual

Rating: Teen

Wordcount: 2798

Summary: After the destruction of Cybertron and the end - perhaps - of the great war, Jazz takes refuge on a hill under the stars outside Washington, DC. There, he meets up with an old friend, and discusses some hard truths about what brought them to this point. Jazz has played a lot of games in his time with Autobot Special Ops, but honesty is a new one... and maybe the most dangerous. (Post-Optimus Prime #25, with major spoilers up through that point.)

Why I love it: IDW1 left a lot of plot threads on the floor. And... Some of the deaths in the run-up to the end really hurt. So having this fic to fix some of the wrongs was just lovely. It's a nice and quiet denouement for Jazz and Mirage, letting them both unload some of the crap that happened to them.

Spicy

Title: My trust in your hands

Author: @blushlouise

Rating: Mature

Wordcount: 27,868

Summary: “I think you and I could be good for each other. If you’re willing to give us a chance.” Bluestreak leans closer despite himself. “What’s on your mind?” Skywarp just looks at him for a moment. Then he reaches out, touching the back of Bluestreak’s hand. “We’re both strong, just differently. We can lean on each other.” “I don’t know how.” The words are almost dragged from him. “I don’t know how to trust you.” “There’s… something we can try.” Skywarp sounds nervous again, and he’s looking down at where his finger’s drawing circles on the back of Bluestreak’s hand. “A way of being together. That’ll give you the control you need to learn to trust me. If I find someone to show us, will you try? Please?”)

Note: Available to logged-in registered users only.

Why I love it: I don't think it's a secret that I love Bluestreak, so I am so happy seeing a fic that a) pairs him with Skywarp, which is SUPER interesting, and b) allows him to face his traumas with a lot of maturity and strength. Throw in the excellent character growth for both Bluestreak and Skywarp, and a LOVELY look at exactly how BDSM-themed plug-and-play might work, and you've got a fic that I recommend unreservedly.

I really really hope that drag queen they casted as a villain is the new Master. Because honestly, the Master? As a Drag Queen or vice versa? Yes fucking please!

@decepticonsensual

[scraplette]

Omg OK so went to TFNation (great time 20/10) got to catch up with @decepti-geek and @decepticonsensual which is always wonderful and miss them already. DC gifted me with a fabulous fic just left me gobsmacked. DC really is a master for their craft.

Talked about some great AUs with Decepti-geek. I'm always awestruck by how much thought and care they put into their AUs.

Tabled with Rheic (my working account is @CraftyScraplet if you want to have a look) and that is always a wonderful experience. I'll post more about it on my other account.

The thing that left my brain buzzing is how MTMTE/LL would've continued if it hadn't been cancled. I went to the Lost Plots panel and I'm reeling. Bless my friends for asking if I was OK cos it did feel like an actual wtf moment.

(I'm kinda just all stream of conscious at the moment because I can't think of a clearer way to get my thoughts across. I'm so sorry)

The ending for mtmte/LL always sat a bit oddly with me. Rung is my favourite, and while I was disappointed at his death I had sort of been prepared for it. I'd made my peace.

What left a bitter taste was his final wish(don't forget me) and everyone failing horribly at that(YOU HAD ONE JOB) that hurt.

What Roberts had planned was going on a new quest to find Rung...

(from what I remember it involved Rung leaving a key or clue to finding him and the crew would've started to remember him)

I'm gutted. Just arrrgh what could've been! May this info launch a thousand AUs! I've bought the new notebooks he released so maybe there is more info but just that info at the panel left my brain buzzing for the rest of the day.

[sweetiepie08]

I so adore how you incorporate Boba being Mandalorian and the culture of it! I feel like no one really goes into that at all but you fully embraced it! And even had him explain some of it (varying degrees of success) to Willa and Trouve

Thanks! I appreciate that! I actually got a lot of inspiration for Boba’s relationship with his culture from another fic.

It’s called Name and Soul, by Decepticonsensual

It’s an au where Plo becomes Boba’s legal guardian after the events of that arc with Aurra Sing.

It is, unfortunately, unfinished but well worth the read.

[eatyoursparkout]

l am very interested in Prowl/Getaway

me too anon but tbh it mostly just exists as a vague concept in my head. I have had 0 time to actually sit down and plot fic for this or enjoy it as more than a passing fancy haha

It's definitely @decepticonsensual's fault though ;D

And this character study by owllix recently heaped some fuel on the fire...

Missing Heir

Since @decepticonsensual is running a poll regarding Korkie Kryze's parentage and my own answer of him being an actual blood relative is being left in the dust, I thought I'd spin off into my own indulgent little theory.

Meet Noran Kryze. Eldest sibling. Golden Child (despite being a red-head). Heir Apparent. Groomed since childhood to take on the mantle of leadership from his father. Satine lived in his shadow. She looked up to him. Admired him. Was always thrilled with any attention he gave to her.

And then Noran met a local girl. It was your standard "noble falls in love with a peasant" type story, except the "peasant" in this case was Mandalorian. Sure, Serri Rodarch still had pale skin and she didn't wear armor, but she owned several pieces and believed it was important to remember her heritage even if times were changing. She was a teacher who made sure kids learned Mando'a in addition to Basic. Kind but stubborn and always looking out for the best interests of children, regardless of their background.

When all attempts at persuading, bargaining, and threatening Noran to leave Serri for a "better" match failed, Adonai formally disowned him, stripping him of any titles or inheritance and scrubbing his name from the family records.

The fighting was loud and vicious and Satine watched from the shadows. She was appalled at the aggression (Noran and Father never struck each other, but teacups and decorative pieces still got broken) and terrified to see her perfect brother (not her brother any longer) being thrown out onto the streets with nothing but the clothes on his back.

Satine now found herself in the role of Eldest Child and Heir Apparent. Her father continually reinforced the importance of her learning and pedigree and how vital it was for her to carry on the family legacy. She took it all to heart, determined not to fail the way her not-brother had. If she also internalized a lot of "violence=evil," well, that was all for the good, wasn't it?

As far as she was concerned, the man who was not her brother lived a life of destitution, bitterness, and hate. This was certainly what her father implied had happened and it wasn't something she ever wanted to experience for herself.

Noran's actual life, of course, was actually one of happiness and contentment. He and Sarri might not live in a palace, but they had a nice home with room to grow, and grow it did with the birth of Korkie.

All likely would have remained well except that a terrorist bombing managed to kill Noran and Sarri, leaving Korkie an orphan. Thanks to Noran being a canny SOB he had backup copies proving Korkie's relation to Clan Kryze.

Satine was informed of his existence and circumstances. Her father would have told her that Korkie was nothing to her and not part of the family, but her conscience wouldn't let her ignore him, so she brought him into the palace, changed his surname from Rodarch to Kryze, and formally recognized him as her nephew. His parentage went unacknowledged, leading to a lot of curiosity from those who weren't aware of Noran's existence. Rumors spread, but Satine and her people simply ignored it, carrying on the fine Kalevalan tradition of "what I don't see/hear doesn't exist."
