GOING SEVENTEEN 2022: S.Coups edition 💎

[sillyromance]

You know aggressive affection?

Like when we humans find something so adorable that we just wanna hug/squeeze or bite

You think cybertronians (both Autobots and decepticons) also have or feel aggressive affection towards their prey/human?

Like earthspark megs or starscream spending time with their small human friend and then when they make something they find cute they just swallow them down as their own way of showing aggressive affection

Hello, dear anonymous!

I think it’s very possible! Such thoughts could wonder around some individuals’ processors. Although, willingness of a Cybotronian to actually do this depends on the amount of trust they put in their human. No doubt, autobots are the most eager ones, Bumblebee is on top of the list.

However, decepticons are another case…

Starscream is not very tactile; it’s hard to go through his protective shell of cynicism and fear to make him believe you mean no harm. So, if he opens up and starts showing his affection at all, it’s a very important step forward in his relationship with a human partner. But as far as you make it, vore in terms of affection will definetely be a thing. However, the seeker would be teasing and a bit unpredictable about his actions – sometimes he doesn't seem to think if swallowing his partner is actually OK at this moment, which can lead to awkwardness and displeasure of both pred and prey. I imagine his first time has been messed up by him devouring a human seemingly without any reason. His mental traumas have made Starscream quite vulnerable (even though he doesn’t acknowledge it), and being rejected by someone he cherishes is his worst nightmare. So, speaking of agressive affection, he starts showing it as far as he feels confident enough - and it carries posessive undertones.

As for Megs, he is more open to vore, especially because he is a protective kind of guardian (we can often see this when he interacts with Dorothy). Megatron doesn’t have as many intrusive thoughts of putting himself in danger as Starscream has; his main focus is on keeping his partner safe and close. Also, the former decepticon leader is bigger and stronger than many transformers; I feel like he might be hesitant to show affection in a traditional way (like holding someone in his servos or cuddling with them, for example). He knows what he is capable of, how much harm he can cause if not being careful. So, swallowing someone down would be a good solution for him, especially in terms of aggressive affection.

Kim is my favorite character but Chay is the most special™️ boy in the universe :p that’s why I keep thinking of an AU where everything is mostly the same except that like in the Sandman there are anthropomorphic personifications of the fundamental concepts of the World (they are: Dream, Death, Destiny, Desire, Delirium, Despair and Destruction) and Chay is casually besties with Death, most people don’t know they even exist and the Mafia fam knows that there’s some kind of magic in the world but nothing more than that.

This comes out when they’re “casually” talking about some horrible thing that Korn did and Chay just looks at Kim and asks “if there was a way for him to die and have nobody be responsible for it, would you want him dead?” And he’s like “yeah, obviously” and Chay is like “okay! :D” and like two days later Korn just dies out of nowhere and nobody can prove it but everyone knows that Chay had something to do with it so Kim just asks and Chay just tells him he asked a friend to do him a favor and Kim is like “???” until Chay is like “yeah, that friend is literally the anthropomorphic personification of the concept of Death :D” everyone else is for some reason also there.

Chay doesn’t tell anyone this bc they would lose their shit if they knew but they met Death when they died accidentally when he was like 4 and when Death came to collect him, they just told her very politely that he couldn’t go with her bc that would made Porsche sad, she found him adorable and let him stay alive! They have been friends ever since.

Tankhun kind of knew that the personifications existed but never told anyone, he met Despair & Delirium when he was kidnapped :) to be fair he thought he was hallucinating.

I practically just told you my favorite daydream about those two 😂 tbf I thought you would find it interesting

-⏳💤💜

anon

anon I am kissing you on the forehead, this is DELIGHTFUL

Chay!!! as besties with Death!!!! Death a common friend to all but the deepest connection with CHAY. I love your day dream, I had in fact immediately pictured Korn's bloody ruthlessness being in part an effort to court Death for his own nefarious purposes, and Chay's like "oh? do you want to meet her then?" and Death arrives and gently tells Korn he's always had her attention, he never had to try to catch it, and Korn feels very smug about this until she holds out her hand and Korn realizes he's just dead and she means she knows everyone who passes through her lands eventually, he's not special.

(I hope!!! You do not mind me playing with your day dream! Yours is a beautiful idea, I hope I added and didn't impose 😂🙏)

but oh mannn, I'm right there with you in that Kim is my favorite but Chay is my most specialest boyTM, and I have a silly day dream for them too actually! I'm not sure if you've ever heard of the Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire? it's a novella series centered around the concept of portal fantasy worlds, with a bunch of children who had gone to different alternate worlds and are now back on earth, trying to make a life after and several waiting/hoping to return to their worlds. I had actually first had a weird mashup of that series and bad buddy, but then kp came out and I fell down that rabbit hole and my brain shifted the day dream to accommodate Chay going to a different world where he'd gotten literal wings before he was returned to earth (reason typically being for Porsche). and something-somrthing happens, the exact reasons for this next bit change, but somehow he and the other boys are in danger, Chay's door opens again for him, and he drags all thr boys with him for safety and they all learn our boy is MagicTM. Kim is 😍 x100 obvs, he doesn't really care about the specifics he just cares about Chay lol. Porsche's reactions vary but usually around I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST A GAME WE PLAYED AS KIDS, and Kinn and Khun are just. Baffled. Mind blown. What the fuck is happening, this is very cool but still WHAT?!

GRISS AND HENRY. My dude you are COOKING

Griss was so excited by the prospect of finding someone else who loved pain as much as he does only to be disappointed and frustrated by how Henry just likes bloody death and not “ouchies.”

Oh boy is Griss determined to set him straight lol

Location: Warehouse @lapsus-memoriae-gael

It was a real pity that whilst the medcenter had a staff lounge, there was no tea stocked anywhere. The exhaustion floodgates had opened, her eyes had grown too heavy to blearily search through what she could access. So much of the centre was locked, and Akhila was beginning to sense she’d need to descend a floor, or look elsewhere. Perhaps one of the bungalows was inhabited by the previous consultant. Looming on the mid-morning horizon was a building she’d yet to explore. Akhila shielded her eyes against the sun, and marched. Evidently the building wasn’t just a blemish on beauty of the place, it was a warehouse. Filled to the brim. Akhila stood in the doorway, dazed by the assorted items, all neatly laid out for them. Why. How.

The more she implored these questions, the greater her head spun and so she put them to rest. If she couldn’t find the keycard, maybe she might find tea at the very least. Akhila scoured down one end of the warehouse, but drew blanks on anything of interest to her. There was neatly folded slacks in a rather awful shade of beige. No different really to the scrubs she’d found in the medicentre. They were just as boxy and ill-fitting. Akhila rounded back on herself and came face-to-face with Gael. He was stood in the doorway, much like she had, and seemed to be clutching something.

“Morning,” she called, polite, as fresh as she could manage. Least this morning the muzak had stopped, she could appreciate the quiet moments, even with next to no sleep. “Have you slept?” An olive branch, and some sincerity backing the question. Sleep would not come easy for any of them, she suspected, the stark unfamiliarity of this undisclosed location. It was certainly a marker for those that may need a sharper eye looking out for them.

I read your knockout headcanons thing and uh, you wouldn’t happen to have any for flamewar would you??

Hello, dear cybersoldier82!

Thank you very much for your ask! I'm sorry that I haven't answered you straight away. Actually, I'm not familiar with the character since I have never read any comics where Flamewar appears, however, I've done some research and figured out her personality (more or less). I really hope that you'll like my writing. Have a nice day!

Flamewar🗡️

Flamewar is a fem who is difficult to be around. She can be cold, sarcastic, even cruel to her partners, especially, if they don’t share her beliefs and ideals – then, considering her hot and wayward temper, she will make sure their lives turn into pure hell. So, the only possibility to co-exist with this ruthless fire lies in being the most loyal friend and supporter for this transformer. Of course, it won’t save you from her bold commentaries and rudeness, but, surely, she will think twice before sacrificing your life for whatever goal she has.

As a pred, Flamewar can appear in two different positions – terrifying monster and distant, but gentle protector. Obviously, if a human sympathizes Autobots, the fem will bring them the most painful, horrifying death she can; cries and pleas of her unlucky victims give her indescribable pleasure – if you get in her claws, there is no way out...

However, if you are a person who genuinely cares about her, who proved themselves to be the most reliable and competent in their area, Flamewar may open her spark for you one day. And if you make her genuinely smile or laugh – then you can pridefully say that you domesticated a wild tiger.

I wouldn’t call her a comforting type – she is rough to others as well as to herself, so it should be something TRULY serious to make her show just a bit of pity. On the other hand, she definitely doesn’t like TO BE SHOWN pity! That way, if she’s upset or angry, it’s better to leave her be for some time, just being around in case she changes her mind and asks you for help directly (it’s not an easy task for her, be patient; she will do so only if you worth it in her opinion). At such moments, she likes having a willing living creature inside her; it gives her a sense of control and warmth of companionship which Flamewar lacks since she doesn’t completely trust anyone. She will sit motionlessly in the corner, embracing her knees, optics closed, and simply give in to the nice feeling of her human moving in the fueltank, the only person who is allowed to be so intimate with her...

As I said before, Flamewar has a great potential for being a protective pred. The one who will make fun on you, drive you crazy, kick you in the guts all the time – but also the one who will risk their life to save yours and beat hell out of those who would touch you even with a tip of a finger (or a digit). The fem is strong and literally made of steel – where is a better place to hide her precious tiny than her own body? If you’re in danger, she will swallow you immediately. Sometimes everything can happen very fast, without a warning, but she remembers about humans’ fragility – she isn't just a soldier but a scientist, she knows when it’s required to be careful – consequently, the trip down isn't long, but it isn't uncomfortable either. Although, you shouldn’t hope for convenience while she has a fight to win – she may avoid using some moves which can toss you too much, but her body is made for a combat style which doesn’t allow her to stay still for long - there will be some throwing and squeezing.

I’d like to think that her intensities are not that sensitive; they are covered in scars left by serious battle injuries or her not-so-welcomed guests who are now gone for good in great agony… But she appreciates affection from her little friend. Flamewar loves receiving rubs – caresses make her softer and more talkative, though not for long. Take the opportunity while you can! Her fueltank is spacious and active (the organ shows true emotions of its owner no matter how hard she tries to hide them). It has cobalt color and glows with reddish or dim yellow. The fem doesn’t like tickles that much; still, if it’s right time, she won’t mind. As for tasting, she adores mouthplay and often does it for fun or intimidation. Nevertheless, Flamewar doesn't pay too much attention to flavours (she is not picky, war and its difficulties - especially, lack of fuel - are strict teachers after all), although, if she gets impressed, her preys can receive some commentaries like: "Not bad!" or "That's not what I've expected... Intriguing." In general, Flamewar can seem unsociable and grumpy, but if there is something special about you that draws her attention, you'll instantly feel it.

I saw your post about free readings.. I would like a natal reading

Natal Chart Reading:

disclaimer:

many of the negative interpretations of specific placements and aspects could not manifest if the native grows up in an environment where the tensions are well-managed and used as opportunities for growth, the potential of the clash is there but like everything in astrology, it can be handled both positively or negatively.

a birth chart is extremely complex, so there are always more things to say, so please keep in mind that as detailed of a reading as this could be, there will always be more things to learn.

BIG 3:

6h Scorpio Sun ruled by 6h Pluto and 7h Mars, square 4h Moon in a scorpio degree and 9h Saturn in an Aquarius degree, conjunct Jupiter, in a cancer degree:

you seek depth and substance in every aspect of your life, the type of person to focus on every detail and not be too fund of the mundane. You might have heard jabs here and there about how you look way too deep into things, but you just happen to see deeper than the superficial side of things.

you seek to hold control in the workplace and have enough authority to self determinate in your job. You could prefer to own your business or to have an arrangement that allows you full control on most aspects of your job. You might be scared of losing control over your routine and daily life.

you could be prone to headaches or STDs. Make sure your partners are clean and safe.

You could be one thought away from spiraling everyday, prone to anxiety as well as overthinking daily social interactions which could manifest in social anxiety, or self-esteem issues. Be careful of letting your relationships control your mental stability, or attempting to micromanage other people.

you could find that your ultimate desires in life, worldly ones specially (recognition, wealth, fame, popularity…) clash with what brings you emotional satiation. You could crave being surrounded by a group of loved ones, building your own family and dedicating your time to your safe space and family -including the one you choose. However, you could also crave autonomy and being recognized by most of the people you interact with daily and not simply your family.

Alternatively, the conflict could be between your desire to be of service to people, to help them overcome emotional hurdles and their dark moments, regardless of whether they appreciate or even recognize your efforts that cost a lot of your energy VS only focusing and what brings YOU satisfaction and only truly helping those who were here for you as much as you were there for them.

you could’ve also grown up in a household charged with tension, or ego clashes between your parents: on one side, a more family-focused but critical mother, who might’ve been either very self-deprecating and unconsciously ingrained you with self doubt and anxiety, or could’ve been straight up obsessed with molding you to her expectations of perfection. and on the other side, a father who might’ve either travelled very often or was very busy with his higher education and aspirations and was relatively absent, might also have been as strict as the mother but more on the matters of education and discipline. Nevertheless, the father could’ve been irresponsible towards the native and undisciplined. A father who might’ve been disciplined when it comes to their own aspirations but not so much towards the native. He could also overindulge at times, and might’ve been very lucky with business deals and partnerships.

You could’ve struggles with spirituality a lot growing up: might have had some form of religious trauma or simply felt put-off by religion, this however could’ve changed as you grew older especially after your first Saturn return. You could also find blockages were very frequent when it comes to traveling or pursuing higher education.

Despite all these limitations, you tend to be very determinate when it comes to overcoming the obstacles and limitations you encounter, and the latter end up making you grow into a stronger, more mature person.

you could’ve always had a deep curiosity about the world and a desire to acquire wisdom through studying its. This could’ve led you to either finding it an interpretation of the world through religion or coming up with your own ideologies. you could also have a pretty skeptic view that refuses to accept beliefs based on faith only.

you could be extremely generous and a big dreamer. You don’t like to limit your aspirations. You have this incredible presence that’s noticed by people around you, like a superstar, and you just look like you were born to be on the spotlight. you’re very magnetic and might find yourself inspiring happiness in people and helping them take big leaps that might’ve otherwise though to be overly-risky.

Gemini rising with Lilith on the ascendant, ruled by 7h Sagittarius mercury in an Aquarius degree:

your chart ruler is in fall, which could push you to have a hard time relating to any of the Gemini rising traits. you might not be as malleable or flexible in your opinions as a Gemini would be but might find yourself with a “preacher” sort of attitude, you might be very hard to sway out of a conviction and might influence people surrounding you to believe the same, however, you’re still plenty open-minded and like to expose yourself to new information constantly. The upside though is that you’re very influential especially when it comes to one-on-one interaction. Nevertheless, you might still relate to the “chameleon” traits of Gemini risings as Sagittarius is mutable too, you could also be very curious and constantly crave to learn new things

with the Virgo moon Scorpio sun combo, your close circle may see you as the person to talk to when they feel down and need a pep talk.

7th house stellium: righteous type of individual, the social justice warrior of your circle. You learn about yourself through others, so relationships are an important focus of your purpose in this lifetime. Pay attention to what relationships make you happiest, which ones make you learn more, and which ones stunt your growth.

random aspects:

Neptune conjunct Venus: be careful of idealizing your partners, rose-colored glasses,

Uranus in the 8th house: you might realize that uncomfortable changes come to you extremely suddenly shocking you in the process. you might be uncomfortable with emotion but you’re one with the collective and your social network, as well as aware of trends.

Pluto trine MC: coupled with the 7h stellium, you know how to instantly read a room.

hope you find this accurate <3

How to dou play twst? Is there a way I translate as you play?

Hi there!

1. Although I'm not fluent in Japanese, I do have an okay understanding of spoken conversations, so on my first playthrough I mostly rely on the VAs acting and characters' visuals to know what's happening.

2. Whenever I'm not sure what the dialogue is, I use the camera in my old phone to translate the screen in my current phone in real time.

I try to use a couple of different apps/sites at the same time because digital translators are never 100% accurate. Google Translate sucks a lot of the time, so I wouldn't rely on it entirely to begin with. I use Naver Papago and DeepL Translator, also Jisho . org for quick vocab lookups. These are just reference tools that could never really replace actually studying and learning the language, but they get the job done if you only need them for personal use and you understand the limitations they have.

3. What I find the most reliable while playing is the commentary/translations of real people who are actually fluent in the language. Since twst is a popular game, you can find a lot of real-time reactions/translations on places like twitter when updates drop.

If you're willing to wait a couple of days to read the chapters, there are also some really dedicated people here on Tumblr and/or YouTube who go out of their way to translate hours of gameplay for free just because they love the game. (I love them with my whole heart, I know how time-consuming this is 💖)

A lot of people just complete the gameplay and then go for fan translations to actually read the story!

In conclusion: where there's a will, there's a way 🌻
