#even though there's this feeling of melancholy

I went 50/50 with my brother on a full set of blokees just to ensure I got starscream and Cliff jumper (i got bumblebee too little cutie) I will be going absolutely feral with their transformers one starscream when he drops
They’ve taken over my computer monitor shelf and I can’t understand why there’s no advertising for them to speak of aside from their Insta account.
Fun fact: Everything is Alright was originally going to be a reverse harem including Megs. Reader just collecting the Decepticon high command one by one
Everything Is Alright Pt 54
IDW Starscream x Reader, Soundwave x Reader
• Servos trace over your jaw, up to your temple to tuck a stray strand of hair behind your ear just to prolong the contact with you, because even knowing he has to go, his spark aches. No matter how many times he reassures himself that you’ll be right here, that you’re safe with the SIC, that uncertainty is still there. You reach up to tangle your little fingers with his servos and it almost breaks him, the bittersweet sorrow of your emotions washing into him. Making him wish he’d found you that day on the road, not the Seeker even as he wonders if he’d have taken you or if he’d have left you there hurt on the side of the road, never knowing what he was leaving behind. What he was missing.
• It hurts your heart when Soundwave mass shifts back to his full size and leaves, that unsettled misery in your chest spreading as you watch him go. Knowing how awful you are for wanting them both and how unfair it is to both of them. No matter how you feel about Soundwave, safe, cherished, you can’t hurt Starscream. Not after he’s let you see glimpses of who he really is under the sneering and dismissive scorn he wears like armor. That aching vulnerability he’d shown you had struck a chord inside you, driving home how lonely you’d been before him. He tries so hard to do right by you, take care of you. Sometimes he’s absolutely awful at it, but there’s never any doubt that he’s doing his best. That fragile feeling in your chest unfurls a bit more. Something that might be love, but you’re too scared to examine it too closely. Drawing your knees up against yourself, you pull that blanket he gave you around your shoulders, burying your face in it to inhale the scent of him. Of home.
• Striding through the base, he’s aware of Skywarp trying to greet him and brushing past his brother. He’ll make up for it later, but right now he needs to see you, touch you. Distract himself from the horror Thundercracker has driven into his processor and that’s threatening to drag him into a panic. Letting himself into his quarters, he finds you and your head lifts from where you’re sitting cocooned in that blanket. And he’s reaching for you, curling his servos around you to carefully press your warmth against the sensitive mesh of his neck so he can feel you there. Hating that he doesn’t have the energy to mass shift again yet. Wanting to hold you and frustrated by how tiny you are as you reach to touch his neck and he vents deeply. “Star?”
• “You stink like Soundwave,” he grouses without any real heat his voice. His servos are trembling against you, though. Upset about something. Before you can ask, he lifts you higher to brush his lips against your jaw, neck, and shoulder. There’s a melancholy in his expression that twists through you. Makes you want to hold him to you, because something is clearly wrong. The worst part is knowing he won’t volunteer whatever it is and prying will only make him distance himself. “I can’t mass shift,” he finally says.
• “It’s okay,” you say, leaning in his hands to press your cheek against his chin. Grounding him with that touch, because it’s not okay at all. He’s coming apart at the seams. Cradling your little form, he settles himself on the edge of his berth and gently pins you against his chassis alongside his canopy. As close to his spark as he can get you without exposing that vulnerable part of him to you. If you were Cybertronian, he’d be able to feel your spark if he did. Claim not only your body, but all of you. Bond himself to you. Except there’s no spark for his to entwine with and the compulsion is crazy. The urge to feel your soft hands stroke over his spark, to trust himself so fully to you, giving you the power to destroy him if you wanted to. Even knowing you wouldn’t, he just runs his servos along your spine. And he’s right back to wanting things not meant for him. Wanting everything.

Soulmate aus are so interesting in an iwtv context. Like for humans it's easy, right? They get their soulmate mark, they find their soulmate, or maybe they don't, and they live their life. For vampires though? Do vampiric soulmates even exist? How could they when the soulmate marks are relics of their human life? When the other person who has the mark will be dead before their life as a vampire has even begun? Or were they always fated to become a vampire? Did the universe take that into account? Will they have to wait some hundreds of years for their soulmate to be born? Their soulmate could be anywhere, any time. Hell, their soulmate could be the person they just drained. Who knows. Even if they were somehow able to find them, what are the chances they'd stay together for eternity? It is eternity after all. Not even the universe or fate can guarantee that.
#but then like uggghhhh thinking about iwtv soulmate au fics and like. they're not soulmates or meant to be but they choose each other anyway#their soulmate could be rotting in the ground or not even in existence yet. maybe they knew them in their human life. or vampire life#but nothing is a guarantee. and isn't it much more profound to choose your own companion anyhow? to love and choose them?#(little do they realize that's what a soulmate is. and even though they might not have the mark it's the same thing. to love and choose)#thinking about louis and armand specifically. like both of them would have Feelings about this i'm sure#louis and lestat are soulmates ofc. ofc there's some string of fate strangling them and they have to figure out what that means#i feel like louis would be resentful of it. like he loves lestat obviously but their relationship is turbulent at best so during the lows#louis 100% resents the universe and god and fate for tying the two of them together#lestat would assume it's all sunshine and roses now that he's found his soulmate and kind of assume it'll automatically work out?#and they'd have to come to terms with the fact that while they are soulmates#their relationship and what it is and how it goes isn't preordained. they still have to figure it out themselves#meanwhile armand and daniel aren't soulmates#god armand doesn't know who his is and he is very like. not melancholy#but he definitely holds that in his chest along with the other things that were taken from him#daniel for sure met his soulmate but like it was nothing compared to armand#and daniel doesn't really buy into the whole romanticization of soulmates anyway#armand kind of does and once they start their relationship he'd definitely have angst about preventing daniel from finding his soulmate#in this universe that could be another reason he tampered with daniel's memories (assuming that's what happened in the amc canon)#to give daniel a chance to live a full human life. to give him the chance to find his soulmate#but then daniel lives a life. he meets his soulmate. and at the end of it all he still chooses armand#and claudia? she just wants someone to choose her. she doesn't care if it's her soulmate or not. she doesn't care about that#maybe she used to romanticize it. having someone guaranteed. but she's seen soulmates hurt each other. both in her human and vampire life#and she knows it doesn't matter what fate or the universe says. people's choices and actions are their own#and so when madeleine chooses her they don't have the marks but claudia thinks maybe this is what a soulmate is after all#interview with the vampire#louis de pointe du lac#armand#claudia#daniel molloy#lestat de lioncourt

Amy/Rory I Saw the TV Glow au:
Amy as Maddy/Tara, who ran away and never came home, who talks about things that can't be real (the TV show, the TARDIS, a world where they're strong, a world where they're something better).
Rory as Owen/Isabel, meek and yet loyal and yet terrified of his best friend and what she means. And what she says. And what she shows him.
Doctor Who, the TARDIS, the Doctor, all wrapped up into the role of the Pink Opaque, the TV show from their youth, and something Amy grasps onto and never let's go. Something Rory abandons for a normal life.
And yet.
#there is still time.#I saw the TV glow#rose rambles#dw au#I'm less attached to Rory as Owen/Isabel (and not totally sure what pronouns to use for Owen in general)#what pronouns do you use for a character who only STARTS to understand who they are at the very end? I don't even know what pronouns I'd use#for my OWN younger self y'know?#I'm not usually one for crossovers but Curtis brought this up and#but Amy as Maddy. Man.#rip Amy you would have had a good breakdown watching isttg#also does the Doctor exist in this universe? I'm not sure. Someone has to be Mr Melancholy#so I guess either he takes on the villainous role#or Mr Melancholy is Amy's mom or one of her psychiatrists?#lots to think about. few to think about this with. my house is filled with The Plague so we're all working at 50% capacity#I feel like this leans less into the transgender themes which is a shame bc My God is that movie. So so so much.#I am trans. As you could probably guess from my username. Movie hit me like a truck.#anyways I AM soft for T4T Amy/Rory though so they can also be trans here too 👍 what is isttg if everyone is cis#its just I am most compelled by Amy as Maddy/Tara and the parallels between those two characters#nd how they could be worked into somethig like this#so

Frothing at the mouth- is that a potential Jade snippet/teaser I see??? 👀👀 domestic, father to be Jade does something to be i swear D: /pos
👀 aaaaa that is a really good guess!!! Domestic and fluffy papa Jade also does something to me. (。>﹏<) however, it's not a Jade fic this time. In fact, it's not an Octavinelle character. Which is immensely strange for me because I'm so used to writing for them. ^^;;;; but I like writing for other characters as well!!! I hope my portrayal of this character is enjoyable!!! >w<
#twisted chit chat#the length is bite-sized like 'simply business' and other fics of similar shortness#even though i intended to write it with a more unsettling feeling#it ended up having an air of melancholy orz

The thing nobody warns you about with autism is how lonely it can feel sometimes. Even among other autistic people, because the spectrum manifests so broadly.
And yet, I'm wishing the best for everyone like me out there anyway.
#autism#chatter#it's a bit melancholy and maudlin but I'm coming to realise how alienating it can be#there are joys though#but the sadness is true too#no less real even if we're told we're so cool and special and interesting online#the world still just isn't quite ours#sometimes though i wonder if i really am autistic cause i don't feel like anyone#like i feel like me#but the idea of me isn't like other people#strange thoughts right?#i do like people though#I'd like to be like them sometime

yes, i know that the defining parts of your ocs are the fact that they are from the big city and that the formative cultures from that area literally shaped who they are and what they'll become and yeah, i know that removing them from that setting removes so much of who they are as characters to the point where they would look and act so much more different that you could argue that they aren't even the same people outside of that setting but like,,,,
what if they were from the Midwest?
#I NEED MORE MIDWEST AUS OKAY#high key proud of the area i grew up in and i've been feeling weirdly homesick even though i've never left here#i THINK they would be so sexy and fun :3 if they were from the midwest too#like there's a melancholy and ennui here that u don't get anywhere else (imo)#Midwest AU

Well. Today's a bit rough.
#I mean beyond my general money troubles right now#(Pension is wonderful but not when it takes $1600 off my collective biweekly paycheques and leaves me with under $800/month to live on)#(In a country where four staple grocery items can cost $65; phone plans are easily over $50/month; basic dog food is over $100/month; etc)#It is hard to sit and work while my sisters constantly go out and do things#I got a bunch of texts from them from a waterpark today of them with my niece and I just feel awful.#I already know I am... left out of family things so to speak. I'm the eldest and easily forgotten#Even just down to birthdays mine was basically last minute and I don't get a birthday dinner like my sisters etc#But oof. That reminder hit hard today getting those pictures#When my mood was already trending towards the dreaded melancholy#They do not even ask me to go to thinks with them#They went to the hockey game the other night and I didn't even get an invite even though I was available#text#chey.txt

Anyways I hope I'm not just the local Alfonse and Sharena blogger to you, I hope I'm also thoroughly Just Some Guy
#I... DIDN'T MEAN TO START A WHOLE THING......... a whole ass incident.............#i was just playing touys......... and maybe wasn't clear enough when i was talking hcs vs what's close to canon#but still like. ultimately ambiguous. cause that is the whole point. to cast a wide net to reach a broad audience#maybe where i went wrong was making those memes and not elaborating enough/talking as if it's Canon canon#when like. to me personally i feel like there's Enough context in canon. for it to be weird.#still astounded that some people read sharena so young though like. to me she's always read as a young adult#and i still don't think it's unreasonable to place her in her 20s/mid 20s (esp currently)#but again that's part of the strategy behind the ambiguity. it's easy for me to see her as around my age#bc i'm a bit similar to her! just a bit!#she's better at the whole unwavering cheer thing. he man voice oh my god do i try.#i'm a bit more prone to melancholy and biting people though LMFAOOOO#but back at the memes like. i think i was still feeling angry at the whole bridal banner incident too LMFAOO#guy who is just so not normal#biggest takeaway here though is even though i like to joke about being an 'expert in my field' (askr sibling interest)#and even though i am really proud of/happy with all the info i collect about them#i'm really not an authority on anything! and i def don't want to be seen as if i am.

I was so anxious today even tho i was on top of my self care slash mental well being basics check-list... I suspect it was the caffeine on top of already worsening anxious Symptoms
#it was def that combo bc i did everything else right#i was weirdly calm for the first 15 mins of my commute this morning and then it was all downhill from there fr#i got so self conscious and anxious after that and then in class i stuttered twice and seemed so unsure of myself even though i was#otherwise communicating quite coherently and fluidly#and then after class at the coffee shop where i attended my online lecture i was so on edge#i think the matcha latte just added onto the shot of espresso for the worse#which is strange because thats really not a lot of caffeine? i literally had two shots of espresso the other day and got really hyper but i#didnt want to die about it or cry about it#so yeah ^_^ its probs bc the past two days have been rough so it snowballed#also i had a weird moment on my commute home#i was so nostalgic bc it was all warm and rainy and the sky was a warm grey#but then i was so melancholy i wanted to cry#and i swear in that moment i felt like something earth shattering was happening to me because i was so refreshed by the memories of a past#self but it all felt so strangely tragic. i didn't just feel happy. i felt happy and then distraught#and i probably looked like a fool because i cant control my facial expressions as well as i used to be able to#i feel like im being dramatic again but 乁( •_• )ㄏ i have the mind of a poet or whatever the hell they say#i dont think they say that#z.post

There is a strange duality in the guilt that comes from religion
It compounds on itself.
It is going to confession for the crime of loving another
feeling like a traitor.
Not just to yourself... your God... but to the other
You are judas.
The love you shared is like that forsaken kiss in the garden.
In that confessional, you realize that your lover is Jesus
and You are Judas
It shatters me: to know you is sin but to renounce you is hell.
#MyLife#Yeah#love#CreativEndeavors#written wordss#this is a rework of a draft that I had sitting in my notes app#I thought of many of the lines to this while crying and driving my car LMAO#I think it was after something to do with that one church group i won't shut up about#in the rework here I tried to be intentional with the formatting but I'm no poet#every so often i'll just drop a beyond shitty poem and then reblog a gazillion things to try and cover it from my feed#like this poem is started a couple months old and i was feeling just melancholy enough today to finish it#i've never been in love nor have i had a lover but I have been Judas all the same#Been Judas acted as a judas#tbh i think my melancholy today may have started earlier than i thought#two connected things#i thought it was the later thing that caused it but tbh i think the later thing was just the match on the kindling of the earlier thing#not that deep but for the first time in Several Months I actively pretended to be straight#i volunteer with the elderly so when i'm talking with the lady and she asks if im married i reply a lot but in it i say#no ma'am i haven't found the right man yet#like even though i interact with people who i'm closeted around regularly enough i don't usually ever deflect so hard#makes me feel fake; phony; not me#but c'est la vie baby#like by deflect so hard i usually am slick with changing convo directions or any number of things i don't ever say im attracted to men

crying before work… casual
#will that melancholy ever end#of like waiting for life to be more than this#but having to do what you’re doing now#even though you like your job better than any other job you’ve had there’s still something that just feels.. wrong I guess?#im not going into the whole outdated 40 hour a week thing because that’s my problem… but like fuck#I want to quit today because I just want to be at home right now#I’ll get revived and be fine either on the weekend or whenever I see my best friend idk#ill be fine I’m just sad today

#i wouldn't go so far to say that i have a particularly self-depricating image of myself#but let's just say that far too many times in the past i've been treated as the disposable one in the relationship#or just.....what i give isn't returned like maybe it should be#so it's just automatic for me to not....have the highest image of myself#so like I said not exactly self-depricating but not exactly the highest either#point with this being that in the situation where in a situation where concern from others is appropriate and warranted for myself#and it is suddenly in my face from very well-meaning friends who are really good friends#i don't know what to do and find the question popping in my head of#why am i suddenly on the receiving end of care and concern like this#it should be me worrying about you guys not the other way around#lasdfjlkslkfjkd#it's hard to explain something like this because logically i know that things are a two way street but i also thing that maybe i don't know#cause sometimes i feel like i get stuck in this scene in my head that goes something like#a warm melancholy of loving others and being loved back but maybe not quite enough#and not being seen quite enough and feeling like sometimes it's too much of a thing to ask for more or for a hug#where everyone is piled on the couch and i'm sitting in the armchair nearby but i don't know how to ask to join in on the couch#even though i really want to#but i don't want to be a hassle or a nuisance so i won't be and remain quiet#i'll watch from afar and long for more and know that one day forever will arrive and this will end and they'll move on without me#because it always happens#and the day someone reaches out or asks for me to stay or tells me i'm not greedy or i'm not too much will never happen#heh

"I like being back in that house. In that kitchen. Tasting your lips for the first time. Wanting to race to get undressed."
#happy 1 year to the first time i hugged you#happy 1 year to the first time i held you#to the first time i smiled into your kiss#to the first time i made you leave a room with a pun#the first time i got to look into your eyes#distance is unkind and so is my melancholy little heart#i know it was never going to go anywhere for real- you told me as much#but god i loved you and i still do#i dont know if anyone will ever make me feel the way you do#or talk about me the way you did#but here i am listening to you tell hockey stories a year later anyway because even though you dont love me i still love you#and im trying to move on but fuck you make it impossible#happy anniversary to all of that i guess#see you next month so more of my heart can break again#worth every tear though
