#i want knockout because he's still one of my favorites

[revelboo]

All I can picture with the latest My Favorite Accident update is trying to introduce two cats to each other by smell through a closed door. KO is our housecat (or are we his human? 🤔) who is very protective of us and then BD bites our fingers when we try to let them get used to each other (it was going fine! We swear!) and suddenly KO is swatting the shit out of him because he’s the only one who can bite us excuse you

Pretty much the way his processor is responding to seeing you being manhandled by someone that’s not him.

My Favorite Accident Pt 14

Knockout x Reader x Breakdown

• Backpedaling as that spinning saw whines through the air inches from his chassis, grazing him to shower sparks and hurt, Breakdown stumbles and goes down. And he’s never seen Knockout like this, optics angry and smiling like that. Head tipping as he stands over him, he slowly extends his arm and Breakdown’s chin is forced up to avoid the blade. Knockout can’t possibly be this angry over him roughing up one, little human. Knockout knows him. And as awful as it is, his spike stirs. Responding to the dominance and anger with arousal. Frag. “You know I don’t like it when my favorite toys get taken away,” Knockout whispers, voice a low, angry purr. A seduction. “When they’re broken.”

• Head tilting at the sound of you limping away, his smile becomes brittle. You’re limping. “I wouldn’t have to steal your toys if you’d spend any time with me,” Breakdown counters, tone bitter, drawing his attention and the bigger mech’s yellow optics narrow in challenge. In anger. And it’s empowering to tower over him for once. Even as there’s a whisper of guilt at neglecting him, for making him feel like he wasn’t needed anymore. Had the big moron really thought he’d replace him with a human? “Or do you prefer squishies now?”

• Limping for the wall, you have no idea how you’re climbing up that slope without help when your entire body feels bruised. You don’t think anything is broken, but if they start genuinely fighting, you want to be far away. So over aliens and getting involved in their bullshit. Jealous maybe-boyfriends especially. You like hanging out with Knockout, taunting each other, but it’s hardly worth getting stomped for.

• “Please,” Knockout sneers, retracting the blade. “You can’t be serious.” But the medic’s head still turns to track your slow progress. Venting softly when you start clambering up the slope only to slide back down with a little squeak of noise and what he suspects is swearing. Lips quirking as you immediately make another attempt, he watches Knockout transform his weapon back to a hand, striding after you and leaving him sprawled on his back. It’s a slight, but better than feeling that blade. “What is it about you that just seems to make everyone want to murder you?” Knockout growls and you look up at him, expression relieved. Spark twisting uncomfortably at that, it’s strange to watch Knockout bend and pick you up by the back of your covering to set you back on your feet, a clawed servo lingering on your arm. On the way your skin is discolored and Knockout turns that deadly smile his way again.

• Using a servo to carefully lift your arm, there’s a flicker of anger at the bruises that Knockout can’t ignore. That Breakdown damaged you at all leaves him cold and furious, and your expression is guarded when you look up at him. “Must be my winning personality,” you say, trying to pull away and he hooks his servo around you. That neutral edge in your voice. Like you’re not surprised or angry that you got hurt. Like you expect it. What is he going to do with you? Stiffening slightly when Breakdown eases closer and you tense, eyes narrowing. Afraid of the bigger mech though it flits across your face so quickly before it’s gone and your expression blanks again. Pretending you don’t care. You’re both so exhausting. Venting softly as he studies you and Breakdown, both of you idiots matter to him and he’s not choosing between you. But you’re going to both make his life miserable if you can’t at least pretend to get along to humor him.

• Shivering despite the warmth of the evening, you know you’re not escaping unless Knockout decides to let you so you just glare at his big, dumb boyfriend while he scowls right back. And you’re aching and just want to lay down. Yelping when Knockout vents, seizes you and just thrusts you at his buddy, forcing him to cup his hands and take you in self defense. Clinging to Breakdown’s servos, your mouth falls open because Knockout is striding away from both of you. Abandoning you with his boyfriend, the jerk. “What am I supposed to do with this thing?” Breakdown growls, holding you out in his cupped hands away from his frame and curling his lip at you. It’s only the very real threat that he might drop you that’s keeping you from flipping him off again. “Knockout, come get your fragging human.” And he’s jogging after the medic with you in his hands, getting jarred.

First Kiss

Warnings: Drug use

Notes: The T/O above stands for techno-organic. Y'all already know I had to write about my favorite bot

• ───────────────── •

Entering the control room, you looked around at the unusually empty room. Normally Vehicons and Soundwave would be in here, but today, it's just Megatron. He had called for you over the comms, and you hoped you weren't about to get the Starscream treatment.

"You called for me, my liege?"

Megatron stood in front of the biggest screen that was currently off, and served as a window now. The stars and dark sky made him hard to see, if it weren't for the dim lights in the room. He had his servos clasped behind his back, and he slowly turned to look at you.

"Yes, I have called you. I wanted to...address something peculiar I heard." Megatron spoke...softly? Why was he speaking softly?

"And that would be?" You asked.

He let out a small chuckle and fully turned to you, letting his servos fall to his sides. In large strides, he was suddenly in front of you. Raising one servo, he placed it under your chin to ensure you wouldn't look away.

"Soundwave gave me some intel that was most...intriguing to me, and I wanted to double check with you first."

You weren't that high of a rank. You were barely at Knockout's rank, let alone Soundwave's or anyone elses. "Why me, sir? I'm no high ranked officer. Why not double check with Soudwave himself?"

"Because my dear, it is about you and your...feelings. Soundwave was gracious enough to tell me what you are too afraid to do."

You grew nervous. Did he know? "And...that would be?"

Megatron chuckled and looked over at the door. As if on cue, a Vehicon walked through with a tray in his servos. On the tray were two purple energon cubes...dark energon. You blinked in surprise, Megatron never shares his energon with anyone.

"Forgive my ignorance, but please no more dancing around the matter. What is really going on?" You spoke out of turn, you knew it, but you needed to know what this was about.

Megatron chuckled. "I know of your feelings for me."

The Vehicon stopped. Your heart stopped. Time seemed to have stopped. Megatron's smirk however, grew. So time didn't exactly stop. You felt the color drain from your face. How did Soundwave know? You felt a wave of betrayal wash over you. Unfortunately, that's how things go in the Decepticon ranks.

Megatron laughed and took both energon cubes and dismissed the Vehicon. "Do not worry, my dear. I return your affections. In fact, I asked you here today to toast to our new relationship."

"Relationship?" You were still lost.

"Well yes, we return each others affections, so its only natural we become one." Megatron's narrowed optics pierced through you.

"Yeah...yeah that is true." He handed you one of the cubes as you spoke.

"And what better way to become one, than to relish in Unicron's blood together?" Megatron placed one servo on the small of your back.

You were pulled closer to him, and you clutched the cube close to your chest. You had to remind yourself that you could ingest energon, but...what kind of affect would dark energon have on you? Regardless, your heart did all the thinking now.

"Okay. I accept."

Megatron's grin grew wider, showing more of his sharp teeth. He put the cube to his lips and drank the whole thing, and went in for a slow, sensual kiss. His metallic lips moved along with your fleshy ones. You felt the shock increase in your body, but you did relax.

Then you felt liquid enter your mouth, despite not drinking any energon. You thought Megatron had swallowed his...

The dark energon dripped down the sides of your mouth, and he slowly pulled away. He threw the empty cube to the side and caressed your cheek. "Feel the blood of Unicron take over your system, my dear. Soon it shall consume you, and we will be one in our shared interest."

The effects were immediate. You felt the familiar sensation of being high. Light headedness, delayed vision, sluggish movements...you were amazed at how fast it worked. You watched as Megatron slowly pried the dark energon cube from your hands and drank it himself, this time swallowing it. His optics turned purple and he placed both servos on your cheeks.

"We will rule the world, together, my love." Megatron grinned and kissed you once more.

You let the dark energon take over your system, and relished in the blood of Unicron with your new love.

Ratchet, Knockout and Soundwave x sick human female reader?

I asked this because I myself am sick with a cold and I just feel like it would be nice to read something regarding some of my favorite characters taking care of a sick reader

A/N: Finally trying to get some writing done. I've got a couple of posts with Ratchet and Knockout about this already, so you can find those here, here and here. I only did Soundwave, since I've already done similar stuff for the other two and since it's a scenario, it's a character limit of one anyway

You'd never been sick the entire time he'd known you, so why now? Did it have something to do with the time of year? Were humans more likely to get sick in the winter, when it was colder and wetter? It certainly seemed like it, you had been sick for over a week now. Soundwave had been with you in your home, in holoform for a few nights, but other than that, he'd been stuck at the Nemesis. He wanted to take care of you, but he also needed to do his job.

He wanted to slip away again, but to his surprise, you showed up at the Nemesis before he could leave.

"Hi" you said, dragging a big suitcase behind you.

Soundwave's visor showed a question mark, as he pointed at your suitcase.

"Oh this?" you asked, motioning at the suitcase. "You're the only who won't get sick too, and I was tired of being cooped up at home, so I decided to come here. You know, like a sleepover?" you chuckled, but it turned into a cough.

"Acceptable" was the audio clip Soundwave played to agree to your plan.

He didn't think it was the best idea for you to be out and about, but you were correct about the fact that you weren't contagious to him. Other humans would of course get sick if they spent time with you, so it was understandable that you would prefer to be at the Nemesis. That you would prefer to be with him.

Soundwave accompanied you to his habsuite, and helped you set up your little nest in the corner of his berth. You had brought blankets and pillows in your suitcase, so you could be comfortable.

"Do you have more work to do today?" you asked as you settled into your little corner.

Soundwave considered it for a moment, but he just shook his head and sat down on the berth next to you.

"That's nice, I picked a good night then" you smiled tiredly.

Soundwave did still have some work to do, but it wasn't time-sensitive, so he could just do it the next day. Now he would much rather take care of you.

"How are you feeling?" Soundwave asked, by using an audio clip you recognized to be from the TV-show you'd introduced him to last week.

"I'm getting better, slowly but surely. I don't have a fever anymore, but my throat still hurts, and I have a bit of a headache" you shrugged.

Soundwave nodded, looking like he wasn't quite sure if you were being totally honest with him.

"I swear, I'm fine, or at least I'm gonna be soon" you assured him.

Soundwave took you at your word and just hoped you would get better soon. He wasn't really well versed in how human illnesses worked or how something like this might affect you, but from what he'd observed, it didn't seem life-threatening. You just mostly seemed annoyed to be sick.

Soundwave placed his hand on top of your head and petted your hair. It was a comforting gesture, and it made you smile. It was nice to have someone who you could hang out with, without fearing you might get them sick too. You weren't sick very often, but this time the illness was especially persistent, which was very annoying. Soundwave's presence helped a lot, even if he couldn't be with you all the time, you knew he did his best to spend time with you and to take care of you.

"Hey Wavey?" you asked.

Soundwave turned to face you, with yet another question mark on his visor.

"Thanks for spending time with me and taking care of me, I know you're busy, so I appreciate it" you smiled tiredly.

Soundwave nodded and gave you another head pat, with a smiley face on his visor. He was glad to spend time with you, and even if he felt like he wasn't much help with taking care of you, you didn't seem to mind. You looked tired, so Soundwave pulled one of your blankets over you and pressed his forehead against yours for a moment.

"Yeah, I know. I need to rest" you rolled your eyes with a chuckle as he pulled back.

Soundwave decided to stay with you until you fell asleep, and then go finish his work. He didn't have to wait for long, you fell asleep in under ten minutes. He raised his visor a bit and pressed a kiss on your forehead, before heading back to work. You would be safe in his habsuite, and he would be back before you woke up.

Hello, I would like to request some sfw and nsfw headcannons of Knockout x trans masc human!reader

(Also I absolutely adore your writing <3/p)

Message - I have never done trans before, so I apologize if I mess anything up. I may be not as educated as others are about the topic so my friend is the best teacher to educate me on some stuff! Oh, and thank you all for the compliments! It keeps me from getting unmotivated ;-; We all know that feeling.

Knockout x Trans Masc Reader Headcanons SFW/NSFW

Summary - Headcanons of Knockout with Trans Masc Reader with NSFW under the "Continue Reading"

Warning - NSFW

SFW

~ When you told him about your transition process, this man was nothing but supportive.

~ Knockout would research everything and would buy you things he thought was useful for your journey.

~ He would catch the knowledge of trans people being in terrible family situations and how society basically does not agree with them. You are lucky your home is earth, because Knockout would've asked Megatron to just explode the damn planet.

~ This man is so protective of you and will make sure you are equipped with a pepper spray or taser before you go out. (Yes you have to explain to him that Jasper is not a popular place, so it is less likely you would have any problems. No, he will not listen.)

~ Jasper people are the type to not question and only care about their own personal business, so you never had any trouble with people harassing you. Knockout will still insist on driving you where to want to go.

~ Want a new closet? He will take you to the mall. Knockout may not be able to go inside, so you send him pictures of outfits you like to hear his opinion of them.

~ Cybertronians have different tastes, but Knockout specifically likes clothes that would show your body more. If you don't like that stuff, Knockout can find other trends to show you that would be great on you.

~ If you already had surgery and fully transitions, he would brag about you all the time about how handsome/beautiful you are.

~ He loves you dearly, he would gossip to you about everything that happened on the ship. If you ever got kidnapped, all the information Knockout gave you could end the Decepticon Faction honestly.

~ Knockout would grab your figure with his digits and twirl you around sometimes to flaunt your clothes.

~ Movie night every Friday? Please?!

~ Sleeping with him is sweet honestly. Knockout would hold you in his hand, peacefully sleeping like he didn't need anything else in this world.

NSFW

~ Before you even did anything with him sexually, he would slide his digits on every part of your body.

~ You look so beautiful to him, telling you that both of you could conquer the world with your beauty.

~ He loves to grab your ass whenever no one is looking. He cannot stop grabbing your squishy flesh body, knowing how soft you are.

~ At first lets be honest, he thought you were going to be super gross in sex. Not understanding the organic body, your privates were a mystery to a cybertronian.

~ First time he did it with you, he was very hesitant. Fortunately the experience made him crave even more of you.

~ The warmth you give to his spike was nothing he ever felt, taking any chance he needs to work for you to cock warm him.

~ Making out is one of the things he does best; kissing you for hours is Knockout's favorite pass time.

~ Eating you out is one of his favorite things to you. Licking or biting your skin until you see marks all over you. Knowing everyone will see the marks when you walk around the ship is all he needs.

~ "Oh babes, bend over again, let me see your beauty-"

~ When Knockout works, he loves when you suck his spike under the desk where no one can see you. It's like a fun challenge to him.

~ "Your stunning dear! Now lets go to round 2-"

As my favorite KOSS artist I want to share an idea of an AU I came up with while talking to some people on a discord server and hear your take on it because I know you’ll have some very interesting thoughts.

So I’ve very quickly become very attached to the idea of an AU where after Starscream goes solo Knockout joins him, I was thinking after Breakdown dies because I personally also ship KOBD but the idea of it being before that also totally works, it’s a very loose idea. In my mind they stay solo until the movie, where in the end they join the autobots because they’ve both slowly gone through a redemption while on their own. I’m very interested to hear if you have any specific thoughts about an AU like this or how you would approach it.

With this AU in mind I’m also currently writing a short fic about KO getting injured and while loopy from energon loss hitting on SS repeatedly instead of walking him through what he needs to be doing to treat his injuries lol

AHHH firstly I am so honoured to be considered someone’s favourite KOSS artist—thank you so much! It is a privilege to be entrusted with your AU thoughts ;//u//; <3

This is a fun scenario!! I love the idea of Starscream being the one to have to patch Knock Out up for once, but it’s going bad because KO is on the verge of conking out 😂 My personal interpretation of Knock Out tends to run more selfish—as much as he likes Starscream, defecting with him is usually out of the question when he has a decent setup for himself aboard the Nemesis; he’s not going to risk his finish for a traitor with no prospects! (Also if Starscream ever calls him begging for medical help, it is sooo gratifying to lord their new power imbalance over Starscream’s head…)

But thinking on it, I can totally see him weighing the pros and cons of staying vs leaving if Breakdown is the one who floats the idea first 🤔!! His warming up to Bulkhead in s01e16 lives in my head rent-free—the way he defended him against Starscream twice and hesitated before following the order to attack… The way both Breakdown and Bulkhead seemed to be unhappy with the return to status quo, but both had to dismiss those feelings in lieu of maintaining “how things have to be”…

I’d love to imagine a universe where Breakdown dwells on this and becomes unsure of his place among the Decepticons—maybe he and Bulkhead have another team-up together? Maybe Breakdown survives Airachnid’s attack, and without Starscream there to cover for him, he gets lambasted by Megatron for failing again? Maybe Megatron’s deranged actions in Season 2—fuelling the Nemesis with dark energon, lashing out at his subordinates (chiefly Knock Out) during the relic hunt, simply being a guy who invites multiple assassination attempts, etc—start to change his perspective on the cause?

Unsure! There are a lot of options! Breakdown could even maybe feel a little bad for the exiled Starscream, considering he saved his life and got no thanks for it (at his own request, but still). But I feel like if he’s the one who caves first, Knock Out would be like ‘What?! First Starscream and now you?!’ and the idea of being stuck on that warship surrounded by the amazing company of Dreadwing, Soundwave, and Megatron with neither Breakdown nor Starscream around—when they’re both out cavorting TOGETHER—would piss him off sooo bad.

He’d probably fight tooth and nail to convince Breakdown he is being INSANE and they should stay in the nice comfy warship instead of scrounging around in the dirt with an ex-commander who CAN’T EVEN FLY ANYMORE (BD being like ‘What? Can’t you just fix him though?’ and KO being like ‘…’), but Breakdown seems like someone who commits when he sets his mind to something, so Knock Out would have to either seethe or fold.

It does seem like the three of them (SS, BD, and KO) would fly solo from then until Rising, though, as you said—and if Starscream was able to get the Apex Armour, red energon, and omega keys ON HIS OWN, having a mad doctor and his lackey would make the operation smoother, I think 😭 It’d also mean SS would have no reason to return to the Nemesis again, since he only does so in canon cuz it’s the best option for his survival. It’s also fun to imagine these three as a team of rogue loose cannons—maybe aligning with the Autobots more than not, just to spite Megatron LMAO

But in terms of it just being Knock Out and Starscream, post-Breakdown’s death, I can imagine if staying on the Nemesis became dangerous for KO, he’d leave. REAL WINNERS QUIT!!! JUST WALK OUT! Maybe it’s a timeline where Shockwave returns on his own, and Megatron finds out about KO’s attempt on his life in collusion with Starscream while the latter is still MIA… With another mech who can act as a doctor on board, does MG really need the conniving one? 🤨 KO is never taking things seriously anyway, and he’s not loyal like Dreadwing, Shockwave, Soundwave, and the insecticons are. Perhaps it’s time to simply throw him overboard and leave his continued function in Primus’s hands…

(KO could “IF IT SUCKS HIT THE BRICKS!” before that happens, but it could also lead to a funny scenario where he gets injured cuz he does, in fact, get tossed off the side of the Nemesis, and Starscream has to catch him before he hits the ground—either by frantically calibrating his groundbridge with the right coordinates, or maybe his t-cog was repaired in the interim [either shoddily at his own hands or by KO / Ratchet] and he just like. Slams into KO at 800 km/h as a plane.)

A lot of scattershot ideas, but hopefully you found some use / inspiration in them! :D Thank you again for the lovely ask ♥️

[typewritingyip]

First! Get better soon you awesomesauce typewriting fellar!! treat yourself with some warm tea and some rest!

also for the Q/A thingie i got a few question if it doesnt bother u much!

what inspired you to start writing and how did you get here? (as in writing bangers for the TF fandom we love you man)

For arcturus: do you have like an ending or story in mind? do you have scrapped ideas for the ending? (and may we peek??)

On the Arcturus 3 snippet we got the confimation that no texaid is taking place, however do you have other ships planned/ what are the pairings within arcturus? looking at u with googly eyes rn 🥺

ty for reading :3

Thank you so much!

Okay, let’s go in order!

What inspired me to start writing and how did I get here?

I started writing in middle school, not long after I had a major surgery and was in a dire need of an outlet. I mean back then I was writing on my index cards for class and just trying to escape the hell I was living in.

As for how I got here, I graduated from college back in May and sorta realized I hadn’t posted fanfiction in years, I have a few old pieces up on this blog but certainly nothing like Arcturus. I needed an outlet again cause I was spending 99% of my time studying for the LSAT. I never gave up writing, just gave up on posting it for whatever reason. So when this AU came along my sister and I were talking about it, then I started to write things down before it became my beloved Arcturus. If it weren’t for @keferon I probably wouldn’t have posted for another few months cause at the time I was working on a 10 chapter TFA Rock Star AU, which I’ll get back to at some point. This just was so inspiring.

For Arcturus: Do I have an ending or story in mind? Do I have scrapped ideas for the ending?

So, yes, I have an ending in mind. I’ve had this ending in mind for a bit honestly and love it so much, I just hope you all do too. As for scrapped ideas, well.. originally I wanted Red Alert to be human, then forgot and had him show up. I went back to my outline and just about cried. But it’s fine, I’ve made adjustments.

(As for peeking, mayhaps… I do a lot of stuff that I alter to a document in my commonplace book with other characters/my OC to get the ideas moving so maybe.)

Do I have other ships planned/what are my pairs in Arcturus?

Alright, I actually do have TexAid in this. So, the crew of Arcturus One does not know that First Aid is piloting suit 11, and the Arcturus universe of this AU, they’ve taken to calling that suit Vortex just cause he was such a famous pilot and they all know something isn’t quiet normal with that suit or those first generation pilots (they’d all be in their late 40’s early 50’s rn, so Swindle is maybe 46?). First Aid is pilot 3113, he was originally in Arcee’s spot for Arcturus 3 but I personally think that the eating the alien episode happened right before the announcement and things were moved around while he gets a psych evaluation done and the suit is cleaned. TexAid is canon to this AU even if I don’t know the characters well, I hope to understand them more by the time I write stuff for Arcturus 5.

Other ships? Now that’s where I’m having a blast. The obvious ones are Mirage/Hound, Knockout/Breakdown, Jazz/Prowl (they already are dating, just don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable), and Sunstreaker/Bluestreak for sure (maybe Sideswipe too but I’m still debating on how I want to do that/handle that.. idk yet.) We have background MegOp because it’s just a favorite of mine.

Then, we have Arcturus 3, Ratchet/Drift is just, *chefs kiss* to me, so that is happening but at the moment Deadlock is heavily pinning and Ratchet is oblivious. Honestly, most of Arcturus 3 is completely oblivious and I love that for them.

I plan to have other ships, but I think I’m going to hold those cards to my chest, for now.

Thank you so much for your questions! 💜

hi Lumi, your posting about star wars books made me want to start reading them, which ones would you recommend?

Hi! There are a lot of Star Wars books out there and there's a lot I enjoy about them! Sure, I'll give a warning that I'm picking out the best moments and a lot of the books are not always great in their entirety, especially depending on how much you want to stay 100% true to Lucas' story.

A lot is going to depend on what you're looking for--are you a prequels fan? Are you more interested in original trilogy books? Jedi-centric books? Bounty hunters or pilots instead? Etc. Generally, I assume if you're asking me, you're here for the prequels books, but I have a more generalized list of recommendations here or you can browse my novels recs tag.

But I always generally recommend starting with: - Revenge of the Sith novelization by Matthew Stover isn't a perfect book, I could nitpick some details here and there, but the heart of this book remains unchallenged as the best SW book there is, imo. It elevates the story it's adapting (already a high bar for me, I love ROTS), Stover knows how to turn a phrase to dig deep into a character's motivations, and there's a reason why we're all constantly quoting that book. It adds so much to the story and it's a compelling tale on its own, it makes me love the characters and hurt for them all over again, and there's approximately a thousand lines in this story that you could write an entire essay on.

- Padawan by Kiersten White cannot dethrone the ROTS novelization, but I would say that I think it wound up being my favorite of the Disney era books, because it's such a straight shot to my id. It's definitely on the lighter side, it's a happier look at Obi-Wan's childhood (which I think fits his character better), he struggles and has a lot going on, but overall he's pretty well-adjusted and happy, plus there is an absolute ABUNDANCE OF CUTENESS in this book, it was so delightful and whimsical and adorable, it just made me happy.

- Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule if you're at all interested in The High Republic. This is still my favorite book of the entire series, I think it set the stage incredibly well, it had some absolutely banger lines for someone with prequels brainrot like me, and genuinely made me excited for the entire line-up.

- Dooku: Jedi Lost by Cavan Scott, which is an audiodrama but has a script version available if you're hoh or just don't like them. It's a solid look at Dooku's time as a youngling and why he left the Jedi Order and backstory with Sifo-Dyas that'll break your heart. I prefer the audio version here because the Asajj framing works so much better with the actress' voicework, it really digs into her feelings about all of this as well, making it a nice gut-punch of a story.

And now I would add Padawan's Pride by Brian Q. Miller (audiobook only, unfortunately) because it's a lovely, charming look at Anakin's time as an apprentice. It's very deliberately written as a lead-in to the Obi-Wan & Anakin comic (which I think you're supposed to be keeping in mind as you read, so I'd suggest reading in release order rather than chronological order), showing the conflict between Obi-Wan and Anakin, between Anakin the Jedi way of life, yet all the love that's growing there and the hope that they weren't wrong to hold onto. Just the right amount of crunch and sweet.

I recently read The Living Force by John Jackson Miller and, while I have a couple of issues with it (it was less spiritual than I'd like, some clunky "attachment" discourse moments that clash against Lucas' definitions, etc.), overall it was a book I loved. It was laugh out loud funny at several moments, it showed the Jedi as deeply caring, it gave time and page space to Jedi who don't usually get much focus, it had some knockout administrative worldbuilding details, and a genuinely fun experience of a story.

There are more that I personally loved (Force Collector was really good for me but not an easy one to recommend, The Legends of Luke Skywalker was very dear to me for being so in love with the galaxy far, far away, Obi-Wan & Anakin: Choose Your Destiny is a Choose Your Adventure style book that's not going to be for everyone but I adored and got so much out of, that's where Theater Nerd Mace Windu came from, the first and third From a Certain Point of View anthologies had 3-4 incredible stories in them each, the ESB one didn't impress me, etc.) and a lot of comics that I think are just as good to read if you haven't started on those, but I think this is a good starting place for prequels nerds.

(I stuck mostly to Disney continuity, it's what I'm more familiar with, and the only Legends books I fully recommend are Revenge of the Sith novelization and Dark Rendezvous, not even my beloved Wild Space comes without a bunch of caveats, but if you're interested in Legends, let me know!)

my favorite thing about about the 90's young justice solos is that they catered towards three distinct audiences, and yet after all these years, the one that would have been LEAST likely to be projected into nowadays is now the MOST woobified out of the three.

tim: a story for white kids, by a white guy who hates poor people, and didn't really take itself OUT of that white-male-projective-state even after all these years. bonus note, now the gays can project into tim cuz timbo's finally out the closet, and chuck dixon wants to kill himself over it, but it's ok bc we like tim even tho we don't like chuck.

bart: a story initially about a time-displaced refugee whose narrative heavily mirrored a refugee's forced assimilation into a new culture WHILE also appealing to the adhd/autism crowd, which the writer was absolutely OK with because bart's story can be accepted by BOTH the refugee narrative enjoyers and the adhd/autism crowds without impinging on his narrative poignancy, plus mark waid actually loved bart and he loves that WE love bart. inshallah he will write his boy again.

kon: a story about teenagers who are being neglected, and so he's acting out every which way and partying it up because he was meant to appeal to the 90's teenage rage and show how easy it is for kids to get caught up with predators like knockout and tana because of the lack of structure and discipline in their lives, but when geoff decided to ignore nearly ten years of creator-run canon, we had to deal with his timkonnie dreams, and now geoff's leaving, so now we gotta deal with the yja nonsense and some lady's self-insert dreams going into a character whose writer is not only still alive, but actively on the bi!kon train but from the 90's crackhead era perspective. and HE'S the one most woobified.

it's absolutely facinating cuz you'd think kon would be the most hated out of the three bc of his issues with consent and the unhealthy ways he frames relationships, but instead it's BART who people hate the most! bart's being infantalized and discounted and used at a third-man-ship-prop, while tim's being rewarded for being an emotionally strugglesome white man who just came out of the closet, and it's not nearly as bad as how bart's getting his ass beat in the fandumb, but poor tim can't even date his high school homie in peace without someone crying about how he 'deserved' kon instead.

to think that the character with that many issues would be the MOST woobified character in the yj cast is insane, bc what are you even woobifying? his depersonalization? his lack of boundaries with women? his inability to read a room? the fact that nobody loves nor cares about him enough to protect him from the horrors of the world? the fact that he was a stellar example of a CSA survivor who didn't even KNOW he was a victim of CSA, and thus wasn't really able to understand the ramifications of his inappropriate behavior until years later when he forced himself into a masculine fold so he didn't fall into the trap of being like 'the old him' again?

kon's story was a story of self-hatred come to life in the most fantastical ways. he thinks it's ok to publicly date a grown woman other people are judging for dating a dumbass minor. he didn't know what a mother's love was, and had to witness it first hand with nanaue's mother. he thinks an emotionally unavailable and distant clone handler is his dad bc he doesn't KNOW anyone else who can fit into that mold. he thinks roxy's his sister but still has no problem sexualizing her in his head bc he thinks it's ok to find your older sister hot.

kon was the DEFINITION of the kids are not alright, nope, not at all, hell to the fuck no. geoff was the single biggest driver in stripping all the nuance from his character post-graduation day, but he not even here no more... what's the excuse in continuing to strip away at what makes kon, kon? i know dc's afraid to admit lois and clark looked the other way when a teenaged clone was dating an adult woman, but you woulda thought he woulda been a turnoff to the fandumb as well. he aint tho, so he suffers for it accordingly.

i can only hope karl kesel lands another contract after these new movies flop, so we can finally get a REAL follow-up to the 1994 solo. you could never make me hate that man's insane writing. justice for 1994 kon. if dc still had good writers, we coulda had a multi-year healing arc exposing how horrifying superheroing really is for people, and why clones deserve something to the equivalent of human rights. instead, he's doin fuckall and kissin m'gann. no shade to m'gann, she absolutely deserves more than the current caricature.

[blighted-lights]

i have to do every meme u rb bc friendship code. but tfp soundwave, my most jealous wife. gimme the hcs 🫵🌸

(TFP Soundwave, IDW Sunstreaker, IDW First Aid, and IDW Ravage have all been asked for! Feel free to send in an ask for any character that isn't one of these four 🌸❗️Not limited to followers or mutuals, so go wild!)

First Impression: Oh, this design FUCKS. My first watch-through of TFP happened when I was very young so I cannot remember much of my first impressions of each character, but I do remember really, really liking how Soundwave looks in TFP. More than that, I LOVED the idea of Soundwave being a stealth aircraft + his full-face glass visor. While Knockout was, and is, my favorite character in TFP, Soundwave was also very up there when I was first starting to watch the show. Keep in mind I was a kid so I wasn't having many mega-brained thoughts on him quite yet. I thought he looked sick as hell, he was cool when he fought, and I wanted his gender.

Impression Now: It's a mix of two things. One, not only does this design fuck, but given the chance I'd tap in a heartbeat, no one could pull me out. And two, he's um... well. He's not much of an actual character, is he? I believe he is one of the Decepticons we see the most, but it feels like he's in the background for most of his scenes. And aside from his loyalty to Megatron and his care for Laserbeak, we don't really know that much about him. He doesn't really have personal relationships with the other 'Cons outside of Megatron and Laserbeak, he doesn't have any hobbies from what we can tell, he's got a bit of a snide sense of humor sometimes but not often, and he's mostly shadowing other characters when he is on-screen. Plus, we never get to see extra moments with him like we'd get with the rest of the Decepticons. It's a bit of a shame. He's still one of my favorites of TFP, but his rank is a bit lower on the leaderboard now that I've watched the show a few times.

Favorite Moment: Very hard pick. There are a handful of scenes that I really, really like with TFP Soundwave, but I think the one that stands out to me the most is when Laserbeak is injured by Wheeljack and Ratchet, he abandons his fight with Wheeljack to go to her once he gets her signal. This is probably the most characterization we really get to see for this Soundwave. I go back and forth on this scene a bit because it feels icky that Ratchet and Wheeljack refer to Laserbeak as an it/a drone so often, so it's one of my least favorite scenes in general, BUT it's one of my favorite scenes for Soundwave because we get to see his care for Laserbeak.

Idea for a Story: I would LOVE to read/write a fic or see art of Soundwave returning to the Decepticons after being captured by the Autobots and learning that Megatron intentionally did not go to save him. Like I am sure this is something Soundwave understands already, but I want to see him realize that he was essentially abandoned and left in Autobot hands by the one person who he'd sworn loyalty to above all others. Soundwave was going to be tortured. He could of died. And Megatron wasn't even willing to go after him, despite everything Soundwave did for him. I would eat this UP.

Unpopular Opinion: Do I... do I have an unpopular TFP Soundwave opinion? Not sure. I'm not sure if I'd really call it unpopular, but it's an opinion I don't see very often. I wish we got to see Soundwave outside of Megatron's influence. And I don't mean having Soundwave while Megatron isn't in charge- we had that before. I want to see him act outside of Megatron's will. The leader/servant dynamic is one that is only interesting to me if there is conflict between the two parties, OR if there is an equal level of respect and care between the two. That is not the case with TFP Megatron and Soundwave. Sure, Megatron values Soundwave, as Soundwave is one of the only consistently competent people around, but he doesn't care enough about Soundwave to protect him. Value ≠ care or respect. It just means Soundwave is useful to Megatron.

Favorite Relationship: Soundwave and Laserbeak. Easily. She's the only person Soundwave seems to give a fuck about outside of Megatron, and it's very clear that this care is returned, as Laserbeak was the one who went after Soundwave when he was captured by the Autobots. I wish I had more to say here but Laserbeak is even less of a character than Soundwave, so there isn't much to go off of. I also like that this Soundwave actually has a gap in his armor that Laserbeak docks to, rather than just his usual tape-deck. It makes it obvious that the bond he has with Laserbeak is singular, as there are no other cassettes present in the TFP show, and it makes it feel more personal.

Favorite Headcanon: Soundwave does not have a conventional face under his mask. I might not know WHAT is under there, but I do know that I hope it is cool as fuck, and a face isn't going to cut it. Give me a mess of wires connected to his glass visor. Give me a single glowing optic and a fucked up mandible mouth. Give me anything that isn't two eyes and an average mouth. Make him fucked up!!

Greetings, could we please get more of "My Favorite Accident"?

I really love this fanfic!!!

Sure!

My Favorite Accident Pt 6

TFP Knockout x Reader

• “You’re scaring off the business.” Scowling at you as you wash glasses, you just arch your brows at him. And yeah, he has a point with that look. The guy that had been hurling in a bush when you’d arrived had wandered inside and fell asleep, head on the bar, his toupee long since in the floor, looking like a dead squirrel. And he’s the only holdout, your two other drunks having wandered back home. Or at least somewhere else. For all you know, they’re passed out outside in the gravel, but as long as they’re outside, they’re not your problem.

• “I keep waiting for you to explain the joke,” he mutters, his patience slowly fraying watching you go about your ‘job.’ Because at this point, he’s more angry than anything else. And this has to be a joke, one that’s already run far too long. It’s insulting that you work here. Part of him wanted to just leave you here to figure out your own way home, but he’d stayed out of morbid curiosity and because, after defending you from being groped three times, he’d realized you’re too oblivious to survive without someone watching over you. Feeling someone pinging him, he growls.

• “Bills are no joke,” you say, banging a glass on the bar hard enough that the remaining patron nearly falls off his stool when he startles awake. “Last call.” Tone all saccharine sweetness as he blearily looks around and then struggles to get down and get to the door, legs spread like a man trying to keep his footing on a heaving deck in rough waters. He’s definitely going to go water those poor, dead azaleas again, chunky style. “So, mind explaining why you camped at my home and then stayed here all day? I’m assuming you have some important, secret alien robot agenda. You know, something better to do than slum it with me?”

• “You have no idea,” he grumbles, hesitating as that ping comes again. Dividing his attention between the holomatter avatar and his real body, he hears your disgruntled ‘are you kidding me right now’ as the avatar gets glitchy. And half listening to your tantrum, he answers the ping. “Where are you? Megatron’s hunting for you,” Breakdown’s voice growls at him and he shifts on his shocks. Because if the big boss is on the warpath and needs something, he can’t be kept waiting. Or he’ll take it out on his hide with his big fists.

• Watching him have a conversation with himself, that weird, expressionless avatar staring with dead eyes at nothing. Creepy. Still can’t figure out why he’d hung out with you when he really must have better things to do. You don’t think it’s that he’s lonely. Only that he’s decided you need him to watch after you, though how he’d reached that conclusion, you’re not sure. You’ve done fine on your own for years. You’ll be fine after he gets bored of messing with you.

• “Stall,” he says. “I’m coming.” Aware that he and the avatar are both saying the words when you lean away from him, frowning and he ends the communication. “Sorry, but you’re going to have to find a different ride home. Try not to die while I’m gone,” he adds, glancing around to make sure there’s only the two of you in the bar before letting go of the avatar, hearing you screech about security cameras before he goes. You’ll be fine. After he pacifies Lord Megatron, he can come back. Make sure.

For the director's cut ask game, any behind the scenes lore to share on Knockout? I'm so curious about the alternate backstories hinted at in that story. Anything you can share about the boys' encounters with the fae, or how they know Crystal in this 'verse or basically whatever you'd like to share!

For the end of year/start of 2025 game! Feel free to shoot me an ask if you have one. :D

Apologies for the delayed reply! <3 I have had an extremely busy few days, but I'm finally back....but still exhausted. :D (I see your other question too; I'll for sure get to that one tomorrow once I've gotten some sleep!)

There is. SO MUCH deep lore for Knockout. I really want to dive into it more at some point with another installment, because I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about it.

I'm still undecided as to whether it was Simon, but Edwin caught the eye of a fairy who whisked him away to the faewild and trapped him there for some time. Rather than being traded back and forth, Edwin escaped relatively early in his imprisonment....and spent quite a bit of time wandering, getting kidnapped by other faeries, almost eaten by monsters, etc.

Is Edwin still from the early 1900s? FANTASTIC question. I don't know. I think time flows funnily in the faewild, and aging is messed up too. That combined with the unreality of it means that Edwin doesn't know anymore, either. He does have memories that would suggest him being from that time period, but that could just be as easily be an illusion. He tries not to think about it too hard.

Charles' backstory is more or less the same (though bumped up a few years to be in line with the modern day), except in this world, when he got shoved into a freezing lake...he pulled out a Very Important Magic Sword. This is totally fine. <- Lying.

I keep trying to think about how to describe Charles' abilities, because in my HEAD it's very cool, but when I try and write it out, I'm like.... damn, this sounds weird.

Basically, for Charles, I'm repurposing the idea of "aspects" from Hades - I love the idea that certain mythological archetypes carry on before, during, and after their "moments in history," and if you embody enough of their qualities the Universe goes "Meh, close enough, here you go again" and you can effectively end up as an "aspect/representation" of certain mythological figures.

Charles has a few Western and Hindu aspects; in the really early days, when he was going through the classic Biracial Kid Identity Crisis, he would lose access to them randomly or summon different ones from what he intended, but he's mostly got it under control now. Mostly.

Crystal is still psychic. She also has, like, a great grandma who was a fairy, though she's only been to the faewild like once, and she fucking HATED it. Too many bugs, too hard to tell which way is up and which is down.

She still had her demon possession arc when she was 16 - except the boys weren't there to help. David burned basically every bridge she had before she was able to get rid of him -- including her ability to do things like use her real identity without getting arrested. Possessed!Crystal, like, straight up murdered people.

She's a sort of general psychic/magic freelancer, in many ways a fellow of Johanna Constantine, except she has a magic gun and she is NOT afraid to use it.

I haven't precisely decided how she and the boys met. My current favorite idea is that a fairy in disguise hired her to go after Edwin under false pretenses, and after uncovering the deception, she teamed up with them to bring the attempted kidnapper down.

[ohdearlingwhathappened]

HAII! It's me again, the anon who stumbled across your blog, aaand I got a teeny weeny question. If you could choose to be ANY transformers character for a day, who would you choose to be?

Personally I would say Breakdown, mostly because I'm literally him and he's literally me. But also because I want to experience working with knockout 💔 (I'm still going through the 5 stages of denial with breakdowns death, my friends are tired of hearing about it)

When I tell you I've been thinking about this question for the past couple of days, I'm not kidding, but I think I've finally come to a conclusion.

Ok, so if we're talking about TFP specifically,

Decepticon: Soundwave. He attacks from afar and primarily let's his enemies screw themselves up rather than get his own servos dirty, is incredibly intelligent, a collector of knowledge (and the queen of gossip), and loyal to a fault. He's an absolute delight, and I would end up using the day as SW to learn as much as I can about Cybertronian history and battle tactics.

Autobot: Wheeljack. I actually surprised myself with this answer. I may be loyal, but I do love the renegade and independent lifestyle WJ has, while still staying true to the Autobot cause. I genuinely would love having the ability to travel as I please, like Jackie does- going wherever he wants throughout space.

If we're not restricted to TFP,

Decepticon: my answer stays pretty much the same, except I might prefer G1 Soundwave. I love the relationship he has with his mini cassettes on top of everything else I mentioned above.

Autobot: either IDW Rung or Swerve. I do plan on entering the psychiatry field as my career in approximately 5 years time, and I would love to see his notes and observations, though I'm sure there are differences between cybertronian and human counseling services 🤭🤭. On a similar front, I would love being Swerve for a day and serve people engex while listening to their tales about the day and whatever else they may want to share.

And concerning Breakdown, I so completely understand. He's one of my favorite decepticons and he deserved so much better.

[bots-and-cons]

Hopefully this hasn't been done before, but this is a request for headcanons. In a world where Cybertron eventually gets rebuilt, what would Knockout/Starscream/Soundwave be eager to show to their human S/O? Perhaps a potential date locations/activities or maybe just as thanks for being willing to share Earth culture with them now that they finally have the opportunity to do the same for them? A chance for S/O to see what they're like in their element, when they're not worried about an ongoing war?

This was a bit hard to write, since honestly I don’t know much about Cybertron itself or the places there, so I just kind of came up with my own things. I mostly focused on the whole “A chance for S/O to see what they're like in their element, when they're not worried about an ongoing war?”, because that struck me as most interesting about this ask. Also I elected to ignore the fact that humans can’t survive on Cybertron without a spacesuit, because I felt like it would be an extra hassle. I didn’t do Screamer, sorry, and I feel like I went off topic… There's also this post that's a bit similar

~Soundwave~

•You’d taught him so much during the time you spent together on earth and now he wanted to return the favor

•There were also a lot of places he wanted to show you on Cybertron, of course a lot of them were still in the process of being rebuilt or still in ruins

•One that was being rebuilt was the amphitheater that once served as the venue for the gladiator fights

•He has some fond memories of that place, but back when it was destroyed he didn’t really have much of a reaction to it, it seemed insignificant at the time

•But now that it was being rebuilt, he felt like it was a new beginning somehow, the place where he’d met Megatron and started his life as a decepticon, was now being made anew, and he had a chance to make a new life for himself too

•He of course doesn’t quite explain it to you like this, but you have an inkling about why he wanted to show it to you

•When the war was going on, you always felt like Soundwave was in this perpetual state of being tense

•It’s not like he had much time to relax after the war ended either, but he’s not as on edge all the time anymore

•He’s most relaxed when he’s with you and he has this new kind of peace now that he’s home

•You very quickly realize that he was never like this back on earth

•It’s not like he’s much different, but it’s like with the combination of having you and being home, he’s found himself again

~Knockout~

•Oh boy, Knockout has so many places he wants to show you

•He drives you around the ruins of the biggest cities and shows you the places where he used to race

•There’s a ton of rebuilding going on now that Cybertron has been rejuvenated, and the refugees are returning to their home

•Knockout is definitely the nostalgic type, and he wants to show you all of his favorite places

•But the sad fact is, those places don’t really exist anymore, they’re mostly in ruins

•Knockout does manage to find some old pictures on a datapad that he had stashed away, and he tells stories about all the places he can

•It’s so nice to see him reminiscing about how his life was before the war, especially now that it’s over, and he doesn’t have to be in survival mode anymore

•Knockout has also come to the realization that he might want to spend some more time on earth, instead of staying on Cybertron

•Now that the war is finally over, he has come to realize that his time with you is limited, since your lifespan is so much shorter than his and he doesn’t want to waste a second

•During the war it was just a fact that anyone could die at anytime, so while he loved you deeply then too, he was always prepared for the fact that he might lose you

•Now that there’s not that kind of threat anymore, he isn’t so mentally prepared for the possibility anymore

•Anyway, Knockout is happy that his home is back, but he isn't really ready to return yet

[seeyouonsaturn]

you taught me the courage of stars;

and i'm not gonna lose you now

Hello everyone! My name's Two (short for 217), though I'm apparently going by Saturn on this blog, which is also fine! I'm in my mid-20s, agender (they/them) and I really love cats.

🪻 BYF | 🪐

This is a sideblog; my main is @szammy. Yeah, it looks like that. Sorry. Tumblr nerfed me back in 2018.

If you like DC, you can also find me at @htub

I'm aroace / ficto-exclusive

🪐 I first saw TFA (and fell in love with Prowl) when I was 13, fell out of the fandom for a long time, and now I'm back for good! I'm non-sharing about him, he's too special to me; please be nice about it.

🪐 I'm getting into other Transformers media now, but I'm still somewhat new! So far I've seen Transformers One, TFP, Cyberverse and Rescue Bots. Currently watching RiD

I'm a selfshipper and OC enthusiast. I don't care much for canon/canon ships, I LOVE making OCs and throwing them at characters I like instead. OC creation is my favorite ever thing to do so expect to see my little guys. 🧡

Lastly, this is a harassment-free zone, we are all friends here! Please take your hate and bad vibes elsewhere, if you want to police how people enjoy things, this is not the place for you. Yes, this means you, antis. Go away.

🪻 If you want the world to be a kinder place, someone needs to take the first step – it might as well be you.

*TfA!Prowl only. Love doubles for anyone else, befriend me if we have the same taste in men!

Selfships/Most Beloved Blorbos

obviously there's this guy first;

Prowl 🧡 | TFA | the one the only, my beloved husband-conjunx of 13 years and going strong. He's on a different level from any of the others. Nothing and nobody could ever dethrone him from his top spot he's so special to me. The only f/o from any fandom ever who I'm genuinely not comfortable sharing. I don't even like referring to him as an f/o, he's just my partner. We are legally married. I have a ring. Don't talk to me about the series finale.

This here below was originally a short list but it keeps growing and there's no end in sight... why are all of the guys in this franchise so lovable it's like catnip to me

🪐 D-16 | TF1 | my sweet boy my precious beloved I could have fixed him. He's my little guy. I love him. I want to hold him gently. I selfship with him but I also ship him with Orion I don't care. There are infinite universes and he has two hands in all of them. Well, most of them. He deserves to be loved. IDW/MTMTE Megatron belongs here too he's so sad and tired and I need to gently hold him so bad. Just look at his big sad eyes your honor i don't give a shit what he's done I need him carnally.

🪐 Whirl | I found out about him and I am obsessed it was hyperfixation at first sight I need him so bad. I've always been weak for a bastard with a fucked up backstory, not to mention those long digitigrade legs are peak character design. Whirl I would do anything for you. 🚁

BEYBLADE X EPISODE 37: UNPREDICTABLE

Oh my god I finally feel like I’m actually watching Beyblade again ever since Arrival of the Fastest and Proof of the Fastest THIS EPISODE??? MWAH. EIGHTY EIGHT OUT OF TEN STARS. OH MY GOD REX YOUR BACK MUST HURT FROM CARRYING THIS EPISODE THIS IS WHAT I WANT THIS IS WHAT I CRAVE, BEYS THAT USE ANIME LOGIC INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL BATTLES I SEE WITH NO BUILDUP OR NO CRAZY STUFF

It might just be me but I’ve really missed when beys were just like zooming all over the place like I love it when they use the stadium other than just for the Xtreme Dash and stuff

anyways

I am so happy to see this frame idk why BUT SILLINESS. Number One’s face as the hologram approaches her is HEOWDVDKWHWE I laughed out loud IT LOOKS SO SCARY UNLIKE REX HIMSELF like he reminds me of Xander, I think someone else said it on this site ILL CREDIT THEM IF I FIND THEM AGAIN

I was shocked to see he actually got a burst finish on Multi though, I WAS EXPECTING A KNOCKOUT FINISH MY JAW DROPPED SEEING HELM KNIGHT JUST KABLAM AND KAPOEOWJEWKWKW but it was also somewhat satisfying to see that Rex wasn’t gonna be defeated first try

Speaking of that I love his design, he looks amazing, I’m so glad he exists 😭 HIS HAIR IS SO UNIQUE I’m glad we still have these hairstyles in this series even though they’re not as crazy as the other ones (honestly I like these better, no shade to Bladers in previous generations but. How did they grow out their hair like that. Like is the hair gel industry thriving or do they have weird genetics???)

BUT I LOVE HIS SMILE AND HIS POINTY TEETH and the fact he’s just unpredictable YAUWHKFWVSEBJEHSNSVEKWVWKE he brings LIFE to this episode and to the series in general I’d actually rewatch this like 10 times like Zip and Zoom which is also one of my favorite episodes

And the fact he so boldly claims Chrome is running away from him IMMM. EKEBWKW (the animation is so pretty too in this episode as well line, I LOVE IT like y’know how they blur his finger slightly for like it’s like to focus on his face WHICH BTW I LIKE HOW ITS ALWAYS >:D FACE)

Highlight of my day was seeing Jaxon laugh maniacally again. It’s always a treat to see him losing it in front of everyone I LOVE HIS LAUGH SM

im not gonna spoil what he said yes you have to go watch this episode but DAMN 😭 HE LAUGHED IN REX’S FACE THEN ROASTED HIM SO HARD I ACTUALLY DID NOT EXPECT HIM TO SAY SOMETHING SO BLUNTLY LIKE THAT (but then again he is pretty honest most of the time BUT STILL)

then he ends up beating Rex by just running away WHICH UPSETS REX A LOT BECAUSE HE WANTS TO CLASH he doesn’t wanna just keep chasing Jaxon meanwhile Jaxon is like “it’s in the rules, a battle can go any way” then ends up winning because Rex’s bey (I’m not spelling it I know I WILL butcher the name) yeeted itself outta the stadium

BUT OVERALL IM VERY GLAD JAXON AND REX GOT TO BATTLE EACH OTHER IT WAS SUPER FUN and it absolutely 100% should have and did happen

then we got my queen over here preparing to battle Jaxon

I know I shouldn’t be scared for Jaxon, but Arrival of the Fastest made me terrified for him once and I feel like I’ll fall for it again next episode

BUT IM SURE HE’LL. MANAGE. Even though I am a bit scared of Quinn.

i love you. however i pick my favorite sb94 side character, bianca.

Headcanon A: realistic

she loves unclear speech. she can’t tell the truth without layers of satire and slang to save her life and finds it very entertaining.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

she’s aroace she doesn’t like kon she just enjoys fucking with him and finds it very funny. she likes fashion and being trendy and doesn’t shy away from revealing clothing, so people assume that means she wants romance or at least sex, but no. she’s fine

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

kon still visited her every now and then. she was familiarly simple and confusing—she’s his age and normal with normal problems. she’s superficial and selfish in the way many teenagers are. he came when he needed to be grounded, to be immersed in regular teenager-y. bianca found out about his death on the news. she still left food in her fridge for him, let nobody sit on his seat on her couch. she’s never felt so helpless. she’s never grieved so hard for someone she barely knew.

but she knew him, didn’t she? they were friends. she complained to him about school and boys and girls and friends and family. she told him things she hadn’t told anyone else and called him a fashionless loser in the same breath. he told her about his school, his team, his friends, his new...family, about ma and pa and clark and the farm, about his favorite cow, about how he struggles because he doesn’t know who he is seperate from superboy. all of that will die with him.

she wishes she had told him she considered him her friend.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
