So, I am not sure if tumblr ate this ask, but hi hello. I am the same anon who used to ramble and added fuel to the whole "Megatron being a clerk instead of a gladiator" TFP AU! Came back with more stuff for it!

Thought I more or less resend what I originally sent or well summarize it as I am not sure if Tumblr ate the ask :'D.

But the basic gist is, in the AU, instead of Tarn being a crazed fanboy of Megatron, he's instead Megatron and Optimus's adoptive (or bio) son. The idea being Megatron, if going with the adoptive route, found a young Damus on the streets, alienated by everyone else due to his ability. Megs takes him in, leading to Optimus and him adopting the young mech. If we go with the bio route, Megs was Tarn's carrier and Optimus was his sire, with some panic involved depending on when Tarn was convinced (if it was Clerk days, the two think Trion would kill them, he doesn't it, he happily accepts Tarn as like a grandson. If it's early into Optimus being a prime, they worry over what the council will do.)

Tarn is the eldest of OP and Megs kids, adopted or not. He is the older brother to Smokescreen, Bumblebee, Hot Rod, and Mirage. They go to him for advice which can be a mixed bag since it could be something very well thought out and helpful, or Tarn suggesting murder lol.

And for funnies, Tarn is just an edgy name he decided to go by. He heard where Megs was from and went "Ah yes, I shall be called this now." Only his family call him Damus, to either tease him (his brothers) or for when he's in trouble (OP and Megs.)

Because, yeah, while Tarn is more sane? I would say in this AU, he still kind of violent and murder hoboish lol. Like, he is more adjusted and clearly has a healthy sense of admiration and sense of justice, but he acts more like an anti-hero, alongside the other DJD members. Since I can see him picking up other outcasts and creating their version of the DJD in this AU. In this AU, they go out and track down corrupted powerful people and end them in their own way. Megs and OP getting why he does it, but also scared it will backfire and hurt Tarn instead.

But yee that's the gist of it.

Sorry! It took a bit to get to this

This sounds pretty cute so far, and the idea of a shorter Roddie going to Tarn with relationship drama and Tarn immediately suggesting killing his partner/ex is kind of fucking hilarious

Interesting how in this au, despite an undeniably better upbringing and better influences in his life, Tarn still has some violent tendencies. Interesting.

There's a lot of cool directions that can go

If you have Spotify reblog this and tag what your number one song on your “on repeat” playlist is.

had a dream I went to a hozier concert and mr. hozier stopped singing and pointed to me in the crowd and asked me to go get him some extra crispy tofu and a blueberry shake for after the show and then the crowd passed his debit card to me and when I got it I could see his real legal name was Horace Bob-omb

[on the verge of having a complete breakdown] i need to make some kind of list or perhaps sort things into categories

[evidently-endless]

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)
