Spirits of Fire hear my voice. I light your flames so that they intensify your presence in me. Grow, burn and burn intensely in my being, for you are my element and I am your receptacle and your bearer.

The 13 Blessings of Sheogorath

For Our Lord Sheogorath, without Whom all Thought would be linear and all Feeling would be fleeting.

Blessed are the Madmen, for they hold the keys to secret knowledge.

Blessed are the Phobic, always wary of that which would do them harm.

Blessed are the Obsessed, for their courses are clear.

Blessed are the Addicts, may they quench the thirst that never ebbs.

Blessed are the Murderous, for they have found beauty in the grotesque.

Blessed are the Firelovers, for their hearts are always warm.

Blessed are the Artists, for in their hands the impossible is made real.

Blessed are the Musicians, for in their ears they hear the music of the soul.

Blessed are the Sleepless, as they bask in wakeful dreaming.

Blessed are the Paranoid, ever-watchful for our enemies.

Blessed are the Visionaries, for their eyes see what might be.

Blessed are the Painlovers, for in their suffering, we grow stronger.

Blessed is the Madgod, who tricks us when we are foolish, punishes us when we are wrong, tortures us when we are unmindful, and loves us in our imperfection.

Give us some Mirage and/or Skywarp headcanon you have that hasn't made it into a fic yet. :3

ooohhh... a very indulgent ask! thank you! :D

I don't think I have any hc points that haven't made their way into fic yet, regarding them individually or together 🤔 I've always thought it made the most sense for their relationship to have started before the war, that Skywarp could see Mirage when Mirage is invisible, that if they activate their powers at the same time it causes physical harm, that their relationship suffers from lots of things (war, class issues, brain intrusions, etc) but it's characterized by a strong, unwavering, intense love. Mirage has a face made of something other than metal. Skywarp is an angry boy.

You see those points in most of my fics about them, give or take :D

I doooo haaaaaaaaave some info I can share about TEG Mirage/Skywarp, which wasn't delved into in TEG itself.

In TEG, Mirage says this:

"He [Skywarp] recognized the benefits to himself of pairing with me. Though he was not taken by firelove, it did not take him long to love me"

I know exactly when Skywarp felt safe enough to love Mirage :D

So going back to 2938 Cybertron, it's a society deeply divided by class. The upper class live in the underground caves and the lower class does the mining/labor and lives above ground. The class lines can generally be drawn across alt modes, with fliers preferring to be above ground for obvious reasons.

Mirage is, as based in his traditional characterization throughout the franchise, upper class. Skywarp is not.

The concept of firelove is known and understood throughout society. Firelove strikes regardless of class, so it's not unheard of that an upper class mech would fall for someone below their station, or vice versa. But it's also the case that lower class mechs could fake it - fake great and fawning love - for an upper class mech to improve their own status. AND it's the case that upper class mechs of particularly cruel tendencies do the opposite: pretend to love someone lower than them, so that when they reveal it was all a lie, they can laugh and lord over the pain they've caused.

Both of these 'false firelove' situations are well known in society. They're explored in stories/plays/general societal awareness, and they do sometimes actually happen.

So when Skywarp asks Mirage if he's taken by firelove, he's initially very pleased to hear that. He knows that being fiercely loved and wanted by someone with more money/resources means good things for himself.

But then he thinks about the cruelty of false firelove.

And he has a friend who was fooled by an upper class mech, who suffered very greatly emotionally.

So Skywarp has no idea if Mirage actually loves him or not until they get close enough to have physical relations. He's afraid to feel anything for Mirage. He goes along with courting, because hey, why not, but he's reticent to fall in love. As it goes along, though, well, it's hard not to. But he's afraid. Until things finally build up to Finding Out For Sure.

Since this is tumblr and it's also like 6am, I'll spare the details 😄 but there's a point in their style of interface (basically spike-valve) where the valve mech can dictate whether to complete a connection, or not. Refusing to complete the connection is a rejection of sharing yourself wholly with another - and also denies the other a great deal of pleasure. This is the place where an upper class mech reveals they do not have good intentions. It's instantly apparent that the firelove was a lie, and all the feelings and hope the other mech had are rejected cruelly and outright.

So when Mirage completes this connection and Skywarp is flooded with the overwhelming and whole love Mirage has for him, he knows it's the real deal, and he's not afraid to fall in love with him.

I think this would make for a good and entertaining fic. I'm not opposed to writing it someday, but it needs some framework around that central question [is the firelove real?], and I don't have the brain for it at the moment. But I always have this tidbit hanging around the back of my head.

thanks for the ask! 💙💜

Was going to work on finishing the lineart today, but between the occipital neuralgia, the nasty tension headache and my blood pressure currently high thanks to the pharmacy fucking me over on my meds it's probably not going to get done today. I wanted to try streaming it again, too, but. Welp.

Pharmacy claimed manufacturer backorder on labetalol 200mg doses so I was forced to take the lower 100mg dose pills for a refill. Doubling up on them does not equal out to the efficacy of the 200mg - the 100's are pretty much out of my system by hour 5, where I could go 7-8 hrs with the 200mg. And I'm on 600 mg a day - so my only choice now, if I want to keep my blood pressure in check, is to take these damn 100's every 4 hours. Between that and my other blood pressure med, that means I'm now taking meds and having alarms go off seven fucking times a day just to keep my blood pressure MAYBE below 140. Because 100mg pills are shit, and I'm going to run out of my calcium channel blocker pills faster because they're supposed to be for emergencies only (170 systolic or higher) but I'm taking them every day since I got the refill to help keep my BP low.

And the pharmacy now has the 200's in stock but won't switch me out. Claims I need a new Rx (I just GOT ONE in October, but apparently it's "expired" - like bitch how) and I'd have to pay out of pocket fully for the 200's.

So fuck me, I guess.

Anyways. Sorry the pic is taking so long. I want to finish it. I want to maybe try rendering it, though I'm shit at digital coloring. I have ideas for other scenes I want to try sketching as well (SW under the Crystal arbor during the Firelove arc, him and Roddy arguing before then and him going all Angry Owl pose), but.. yeah. Health ain't allowing it rn.

@fireloved​ liked for a starter w/ @ Botan !

      “I can tell things have not been...quite kind to you as of late. It just isn’t fair at all how they have been treating you when they know you have such a kind heart, Lady Ursa.” She scowled in annoyance. “Grr...I wish I could teach ‘em a lesson or two myself!”

Azula was home…. and Ursa was definitely nervous about this. Sliding her frozen hands uncomfortably into her sleeves, the woman gave a short bow of the head in greeting. 

“Azula.” she said softly, offering a smile. “I’m glad you’ve come back.” was she? She always adored Azula, but, she was very well aware of their ever strained relationship. Her fingers were starting to ache…

@fireloved

“Didn’t have much of a choice, I’m afraid,” Azula muttered. 

She wasn’t ready for this. Any of it. Just as she hadn’t been ready for Zuko to come and rescue her from that cell in the Earth Kingdom -- or for him to succeed in doing so. 

The Dai Li had certainly made it near impossible...But then Zuko hadn’t ever known when to quit. 

Still, it hadn’t prepared her for the surprise that their mother was alive and well, and in the palace in Caldera awaiting their return. It hadn’t prepared her for the fact that he would insist that they see each other right away (rather out of character, considering). 

Early winter had settled over the Fire Nation, and with it a brisker wind which promised the monsoon season would be wild and damaging. Soon she would be forgotten again in the wake of floods and disaster relief and any number of things that she remembered had always occupied her father during the rainy season.

Maybe her mother would forget about her too, and Azula could live peaceably. For a little while.

She searched the soft lines of the older woman’s face for a breath. Caught the weariness there which only seemed to mirror Azula’s own...and wasn’t that appropriate? Somewhere along the line, Azula’s reflection in the mirror had become her mother’s face, if a little leaner in the cheeks. 

“I see you’re back as well,” Azula added after the fact, feeling less eloquent than she had ever been in her entire life.

Hello! I have been wondering, if you were not asked before: what was the inspiration for the Mirage's dimension worldbuilding? It was truly peculiar and original look into TF au worldbuilding as whole, I was mesmerized.

>peculiar and original yessssss this is a huge compliment to me >D thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed!

If you mean specifically the fate of his Cybertron, I talked about it in the Afterword (last chapter of the fic) so I'm gonna yank the answer from there :D

...the original plan for 2938 Cybertron. Originally it was going to be an insecticon-riddled wasteland. The video game that Rodimus plays with Soundwave, Hostile Planet II, had his game character running away from insecticons as foreshadowing for this original idea. But as I got closer to the Firelove arc, I thought it would be more interesting to go the “stark wasteland” route, instead of the “insecticons are eating everything” route. I did a twitter poll and “stark wasteland” won, so I thought… let's try it.

here's a screenshot of the poll!

in terms of how did I get to "sterilized world"? I... don't remember :'D I might have the train of thought written down somewhere in my hundreds of pages of notes. I think I was trying to think of 1) something that hadn't been done before, but was 2) still really horrific despite being "clean."

Now if you meant the whole "crystals determine everything about their society, including their language," that grew out of thinking A LOT and really hard about what it would mean for that to be so. Crystals were a huge part of the fic, so I just... leaned super hard into it, haha.

2938 Megatron shows the reader what Soundwave could become. That grotesque hunger for knowledge... idk, it just feels natural that it could come from a society bound up in layers and layers of meaning and expression.

I hope that answered the question. Was there a specific part of the dimension you wanted to know about? If I didn't cover it, feel free to shoot another ask :)

Thanks for the ask!

                 ❝what brings you here?❞ the question was asked the second he saw her enter. Gaze was raised to look at the Lady, so unlike all the other people, he saw here every day.
