MDNI | suggestive fluff!

word count: 1217

warnings & tags & stuff: fem!reader, def some nsfw descriptions of spence, all around suggestiveness, fade to black

author's note: second piece of writing yayy!!! this was originally gonna be smut but i got scared lol. anyway please lemme know your thoughts im DYING to improve. sooo yes i hope you have a wonderful day and here this is ig! 😚

Sitting alone in your room, you tugged on a pair of never-before worn cowboy boots. They were most definitely not broken in, and you knew you were in for an uncomfortable night of baby blisters on the bottoms of your feet. However, life is full of compromises, and these were too cute to pass on.

Especially for a night of line dancing with your boyfriend’s coworkers. Who knew that FBI agents got down like that?

You stand and plug in your earbuds, choosing to absolutely blast ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’ by Taylor Swift. Also known as the only tolerable country music.

Dancing out to the kitchen, you wrap your arms around your lovely boyfriend who was preparing a cup of tea, absolutely not dressed for a night of country conviviality. Spencer looks you up and down, a teasing smile playing on his face.

“Hey cowgirl,” he says, gently removing your earbuds. “Penelope has been texting me on average every 10 minutes about how excited she is for tonight. I hope you’re ready.”

“Oh god,” you laugh. “I wish you were coming too.”

“I know. But that sounds awful,” he says in his matter-of-fact way. “Hey, I do have something for you,” he mentions. You look up at him, and he runs quickly upstairs to grab his bag. He comes down and brandishes his very own cowboy hat. “From the times Penelope didn’t have you to drag along with her and I was her chosen victim.”

“For me?” You ask excitedly. He puts it on you. Although it’s a little big, it 100% completes the look. You look up at him. “Think I would make a good cowgirl?” He peers down at you, trying to tell if you’re joking.

“No,” He goes the serious route and you furrow your brow at him. “You hate the dirt. And the heat,” he explains, emphatically defending himself.

“I guess you’re right. I don’t really do well with horses either,” you murmur.

“You do make a cute cowgirl for the night though, even if it’s not your true calling.” He ruffles your hat.

“Yeah?” You smile. “It’s not too much with both the boots and the hat?”

Spencer blinks.

“Have you met Penelope? She always has a lot going on. More than this.”

You giggle.

“They’ll all adore you, JJ, Emily,” he reassures, stroking the side of your waist.

You had known Penelope for a few months, ever since you started dating Spencer. But you had yet to meet the rest of the girls on his team. You were definitely excited, they seemed really cool. But you were definitely also nervous.

Spencer, jarring you from your thoughts, whips out his very outdated phone that he somehow still manages to operate, and opens the camera.

“Smile.” You do so, showing off all your teeth. You move to look at the picture, and Spencer tilts the screen toward you. “See? Adorable.”

You stand on your tippy toes for a kiss, and he complies quickly. A little too quickly to not have any meaning behind it. Your eyes flit down, and you notice a slight bulge in Spencer’s pants that wasn’t there a few minutes ago.

You raised your eyebrows and looked up at him. “Can I convince you to stay?” He whispers, half smiling. You tilt your head.

“Maybe” you say shyly.

“What if I told you that the chances are slim to none that you are actually going to line dance tonight? Penelope and JJ always end up sitting at the bar, and Emily always gives up half a song in and joins them. Without fail,” he says. You purse your lips, heart beating a little faster for whatever reason.

“That could still be fun,” you reason.

“Not in those shoes,” he says, rubbing your hip softly. “I know they must hurt; they’re brand new and you’re already shifting your weight between your feet much too frequently.”

You look down at your feet. He was not lying. “You’re too observant. This is why you basically always have your way with me.” You exhale.

“By caring about you? I could keep going. I know that you hate country music. And no, Taylor Swift does not count. She’s an outlier. And she was born in Pennsylvania. That’s barely real country music. You’d be miserable all night.”

“Yes, you would know about ‘real’ country music, Mr. Las Vegas,” you counter.

“That would be Dr. Vegas to you,” he quips, bending down once again and giving you a kiss. You reciprocate, kissing the corner of his mouth. “What if I told you I really wanted you to stay? Bad?”

“Bad? I guess I’ll stay, if it’s bad. But you have to be the one to text Penelope,” you say begrudgingly. As if you weren’t as releived as can be. And as if Spencer didn’t know that.

He smiles and allows his arms to wrap around your waist. Spencer’s kisses become slower, you could feel every aspect of them. His lips, of course, but also his stubble. The air being pushed out of his nose. The hand swiping it’s typical resting spot, your cheek. His tongue delicately tracing your mouth. It all feels so calculated for you, so measured.

And you, on the other hand, are a mess, trying to keep up. Your heart is pounding and you’re sure your face is noticeably hot. And by the time Spencer leads you to your room and sits you down on the bed, its temperature has only increased.

You kick off your boots. He sits next to you, his hands holding your waist, ever so firm. He brings them up, thumbing the inside hem of your tank top.

“All good?” He checks.

“Yeah,” you say, head spinning with all the good chemicals.

“Deep breaths for me, okay? Gotta keep your blood flowing appropriately,” he reminds you, leaning back and taking you in. “Pretty girl.” You blush and his hands move to your lower back over your tank top, delicately brushing over in a way that gives you goose bumps. You shiver.

His eyebrows shoot up in surprise. “You’re sensitive in your lower back. God, there’s still so much more to learn about you.” He breathes out.

“Good. I was scared you’d get bored, with your perfect memory and all,” you joke.

“Bored? The human brain is limitless. Your brain is limitless. I wanna know everything I possibly can that goes on up there. Everything that makes it feel good. It’s the least boring thing I can think of.” You blush and look down.

You lean in for another kiss, this time to his jawline and neck. Your hands slide up his stomach under his shirt a little and and you look up to him.

“Okay?” This time you ask.

Spencer nods. “Okay.” Your hands trace up under his own shirt, and you immediately lean in to kiss him, holding his chin.

All of a sudden he’s everywhere. Even sitting next to you, he manages to take over every ounce of your body. He’s kissing your mouth and forehead and cheeks, one hand is holding your face, and the other is mapping your stomach.

“Can we try something new then? If we wanna do and learn everything?” You whisper. One quick tête-à-tête later, you’re sitting on his lap, shifting your hips softly as he held your waist for you.

“I guess I was wrong. You’re gonna be an amazing cowgirl.”

Haikyuu SakuAtsu fanfic recs: series edition ;)

ALRIGHT LOVES, BUCKLE UP! IM FORCING MYSELF TO FIND MOTIVATION LOL

As I was making that cursed SakuAtsu fanfic rec post (it really is cursed, but it’ll get done eventually cause I do love the SakuAtsu too much, when tho? only god know LOL), I decided that if I’m gonna finish it, imma have to break it up. SO that’s why this is our lovely series edition post LOL. Originally, it WAS writers, tags, series, then single fics BUT I decided to scrap tags and even then I was like it’s too long..... And so, this post materialized LOL (mayhaps writers next? who knows anymore cause I certainly don’t LOL). These are ONLY some of the series that I absolutely adore, and I say some because 1) the tag is literally like 4k fics long and I was on like page 20 something and I have SO many tabs open rn for SakuAtsu, so chances are I missed one or five LOL :’((((( and 2) my ao3 account hasn’t been made yet (should’ve done this a looooooong time ago) and so I don’t have them all saved anywhere :( (these just sound like excuses LMFAO) So these are just the ones I saw and was like OOP I LOVE and then added LOL (and so they’re in no particular order hehe). I also didn’t *** any of them cause they’re all so freakin good and even if you randomly chose one, you will not be disappointed.

As per usual, pls check WARNINGS, TAGS, and SUMMARIES for series and each individual fic before reading and make sure you’re taking care of yourselves (since mental health is key!) Stay healthy loves <3

I would also be more careful cause there are a lot more TW in these fics than other ships!

Terminal Curiosity by favspacetwink, moonlumie (E) // CHECK WARINGS, TAGS, and SUMMARIES!!! this is one of the BEST series I’ve read for this ship and even though I tend not to read WIP, IT’S WORTH IT! Please read ALL the tags before going into any of the fics in this series because there’s some real spicy stuff that may not be your cup of tea!

your highs and lows by astroeulogy (T,M,E) // this fic made me go on a roller coaster of feels from start to (tentative) finish :))) It’s great and I love it AHHHHH The progression in their relationship is just so ajfkjsf, and I just adore how Atsumu just broke(?) during that first fic and the number of double takes he did, v relatable LOL.

Different Kinds of Dysfunctional by DeathBelle (T,E) // I LOVE the entrance to this fic and how it flowed so well. I think Atsumu is characterized really well throughout this series (I could totally see Atsumu bringing the same thing up over and over again LOL), and his development was done beautifully (You just want to make me say it.,,, Kinda, yeah.). I really freakin love this series so please go ahead and read it don’t be shy hehehe.

we call everything on the ice, "love" by awkwardedgeworth (T) // I LOVE this fic omg,,, it’s in series, but it’s only two fics LOL... Anyway, Notte Stellata is one of my favorite SakuAtsu fics and I have reread it way TOO many times and the fanpage fic IS SO AMAZING (AND FUNNY ASF PLS). I really love ice skating AU’s too so this really made this ‘series’ all the more better <333333

know you better & related stories by theglitterati (T,M,E) // this is definitely one of the best relationship development series I’ve read, I love it so much! It really touches all the bases, and the progression is just SO good. It really is the fic version of the get along shirt, extended edition LOL.

flutterbird (a collection of sakuatsu one-shots) by wordstruck (T,M,E) // this series is such an easy pick up because it’s a bunch of one-shots (esp. if you’re not into smut cause there is some), BUT all of them are def worth a read. Personally, the third one, the sakusa kiyoomi listography, is my favorite (cause imma sucker for Sakusa), but that’s just personal preference hehe :)

Atsumu + Sakusa + The National = ? by isaksara (syailendra) (T,M) // this is another stand alone fic series but with AUs :D I don’t even know like most (ie. all) of the references (LMFAO), but I still read all of them LOL. Again, a personal favorite (without any references LOL) is the second one, famous angels (never come through england), it’s really funny and good and I just love it okay?

Better For Us Both by abrandnewheart (M) // (this was CP from my angst fic rec post LOL tho it is slightly edited cause istg my writing style changes every post LOL) THE MUG FIC. There is a sequel and when I saw it, it took me another week to read it cause I was like,,, am I ready to have my heart break again? No LOL. But the sequel is actually not as angst (but there’s still angst), so if you want to be like semi-broken or whatever, just read the sequel LOL (also it’s Sakusa POV HEHE). It’s so sad and it made me physically hurt every time someone even mentioned mugs afterwards (LOL why am I so dramatic but it’s the truth :///). Go ahead and hurt with me. You should read it even if you don’t like angst because you know what they say, no pain no gain :’)

parallax error: angle of inclination by min_mintobe (T) // okay so technically this ‘isn’t a series’, but it is two fic that are related, and what is that if not A SERIES :DDDDD Anyway, I really love this fic enough that I would find loopholes in my own dang post to recommend it LOL. I really love the service ace bet between Sakusa and Atsumu (I do think it is a superior headcannon (it’s hc right?)) but I also love what’s left unsaid by both in each other’s POVs hehe. If you want to go straight to Sakusa’s POV (cause their different POVs of the same fic), here it is parallax error: line of sight. You can read either first, but I recommend you read both eventually :)

to make any other mistake by honeymilktea (rosevtea) (T) // I, myself, am a very big fan of college Haikyuu (tho idk if it seems like that LOL), and this fic is very much up my alley hehe. I really like the idea that they are both TA’s and that Atsumu would totally bribe Sakusa into fake dating him as well as Sakusa wearing his brightest outfits to spite Atsumu.

How Do You Know? by awkwardedgeworth (T) // these fics are both so funny omg. The google search histories, the trial and error, and just everything in these two fics gives me so much dopamine LOL. There’s one POV for both end of the ship, though their tragedies are slightly different.

the human disaster chronicles by firtree (G,T) // is this another Atsumu gay panic fic? Yes, yes it is and I have absolutely no shame in recommending it hehe. I realllllllly like this fic and Atsumu having a break down cause Sakusa didn’t follow his routine? It is the move. Anyway, pls read this series cause like the title suggests, it really is a disaster (but at least there’s love right? LOL).

I Love You (Though it's Inadvisable) by Anubis_2701 (T) // okay the series itself is a wip (as in only one fic for now LOL), but the fic is so good, I couldn’t leave it off :))))) First, I do love a good soulmate AU and although I’m not a big fan on the body switching AUs, THIS one was SO good!!! It gets really cheesy and fluff at the end, but the beginning of this fic was just so immaculate, that we’re gonna ignore how much the ending made me want to stick my head into a hole (cause it was so FLUFF OMG).

The Germaphobe and the Asshole by metaandpotatoes (T,E) // so this series is also actually a WIP, but it’s okay I only read the first and the last one anyway cause they’re basically stand alone’s LOL. This series focuses a lot on Sakusa’s mysophobia, so if you’re not a fan of the hc, you should prolly pass hehe. TBH, my favorite is the third one, Avoidance Behavior, but that’s mainly cause I really like SunaOsa and I love the brother bond in it!

you are the cause of my euphoria by SugarHighs (T) // ajsfljksadhjkdfk is my first thoughts while reading this series cause ATSUMU WOULD. He would start posting thirst trap pics (which really reminded me of Wonho) in order to prove he was the most good looking member of MSBY. Tho, we do love the clowning of one Sakusa Kiyoomi, as done in the third fic (PLEASE NUMBER 17 AND Cheezel). Even if you can’t get yourself to read the other fics, read the third one, 5 Ways To Tell If The Person You're Dating Is The One, for the free serotonin boost plsplspls.

'basis' - noun. the underlying foundation for an idea or process. by auvelli (T) // like I said, college AU is a great AU, love it. This one, I do love indeed. We do stan having microwaves and mini fridges hehe. I support the ramen endeavors but oatmeal is gross, I said what I said. Anyway, I love the tags in the second fic, so even if you don’t end up reading it, read the tags,,,, they’re funny okay?

and i press you to the pages of my heart by volchitsae (T) // I LOVE THIS ONE, teehee again the college AU makes another appearance LOL. I REALLY love this writer, and this one is so funny but cute at the same time. It’s another two POV fic, but you’ll want to read this one in order hehe. Again, the ending is so FLUFF, that my head wanted to take a visit to the underground BUT ITS OKAY.

affection and acid reflux by volchitsae (T) // so the first fic is ~angst~ but IT GETS BETTER OKAY, happy endings. HAPPY ENDINGS. Anyway, there’s some really cute Sakusa in this one (esp. when he talks to the boy at the village LOVE HIM) and a healthy amount of angst as well. I really like this fic and guess what it is? Say it with me, COLLEGE AU LOL.

how big the hourglass, how deep the sand by volchitsae (E) // did I just recommend the same writer three times in a row? Yup and I think that says something LOL (tbh I like some of their stand alone fics more tho LMFAO but that doesn’t mean these series are bad nononono not at ALL (this sounded sarcastic but that was not the intention LOL)). This one is ~magical~ (v literally) and has some kinky stuff (holy water ftw) in it, so tread carefully :) I would make sure to read the tags before each one because it gets kinda steamy LOL.

^^ if I had to choose between these three, I liked and i press you to the pages of my heart the most just cause the plot was my type LOL. But they’re all good hehe.

a study on you(th) and reverie by sieges (G,T) // this series is such a sad series :( The first two are the only SakuAtsu but the third one is an angst Osamu one so there’s that LOL (and ofc the fourth one is KuniYama (is that their ship name idk)) But the first one is a moving on fic (which I liked) and the second is like basically a fake break up (which I liked more LOL) and both have some nice shares of angst and fluff so choose your battles wisely (or just read both LOL).

Burden of Blame by DeathBelle (E) // CHECK WARINGS, TAGS, and SUMMARIES!!! ah yes, the mafia fic LOL. I REALLY LOVE THIS FIC. I felt so bad for Atsumu the entire fic and yes it is, ATSUMU BEST BOY time. Did I really just recommend this series AGAIN for the THIRD TIME in THREE SEPARATE POSTS? Apparently LMFAO I didn’t even know TBH LOL. I just really like this one,,,,,, okay? But pls Atsumu just here for the ride man cause he BEST BOY. Anyway, if you want to see my other comments of this fic that I forgot I did links here :D (links and here are two separate links to two separate posts LOL).

OKAY so that’s most of the series that I saw and was like gotta put this here LOL. And do you see how long this is (I know I’m missing so many series I like istg when I find them later imma cry or just make another post LOL).... Can you imagine how long my actual fic fic one is LOL (i’m not kidding tho it’s so long I might just do fics with their actual summaries instead of adding my invalid, piss poor reviews :/). Ugh the more I think about it, the more I lose motivation to finish LMFAO, so imma go be no thoughts head empty, but I hope you enjoyed reading these series! I love SakuAtsu SO much, so there’s lots more to come (is that good or bad idek). I know I was kinda lazy on the warnings (my bad), so I hope you all were attentive and made sure to check before reading! Also if there are any errors, send me a message/ask! PLS, they’re v embarrassing LOL. (Also tell me if I forget to cap my I’s bc I do that sometimes and I can’t tell cause of the font LMFAO.) The way my posts get slightly more chaotic every time I post LOL.

If this Bruce doesn't adopt Tim I will! But I'm kinda scared for Tim I mean he's either gonna end up with Buce or the titans at some point, im afraid that something terrible is gonna happen his family and then titans/bruce takes him in? That boy loves batman and robin so much like even his family seeing the news knew how much it would upset him although I will say that for the brain that kid has he makes some pretty stupid decisions, hes driving around GOTHAM plastered in the bat-symbol that's not a good idea! the amount of lunatics that roam free in Gotham (and possibly have escaped from arkham) and hate the bat and hes driving around with the bat symbol on him KID be careful!

Some kind of Anti-fear toxin does seem more accurate cuz he's clearly taking something to not be afraid. Maybe it's something he found in Gotham and decided to try it and got addicted so he's using that lab place to try recreate it? and maybe he can't recreate it perfectly cuz in the crowbarring scene he seemed kinda anxious about his surroundings and he'd just taken that inhaler thing to overcome fear so I dunno?? Or maybe he went to arkham to see Crane for some reason and Crane has orchestrated the whole thing and told him about the drug but then wouldn't Crane have to know everyone's identity then? Dude I dunno I need more episodes even tho the low quality glitchyness is painful lol

There's probably an abundance of rooms to choose from at Wayne manor yet Jason takes Dicks old room and keeps the flying graysons posters up! I like to think that he does view dick as an older brother and just took his room to kind of have a connection to him and that he admires him hence the graysons posters being left up, yooo dick calling him his brother! I really want a nice family reunion with dick jason and bruce 💕

Babs was too mean to bruce when she went off like I get where she's coming from but yo lady his son just died dial it down like a notch yikes but also babs being like 'i wonder how long it'll take for bruce to replace jason and dick is all 'what no the last thing bruce is gonna do is rope another kid into this mess'. Cut to scene of Bruces potential robin folder 😅 but I also like that dick was trying to be considerate and compose himself for bruce but once he found out that bruce is idiot enough to pull another kid into this, that that's when he got mad and bruce so brokenly begging dick to come back and be robin 😢😢😢

I know the show is constantly trying to push bruce out/sideline him cuz it's a titans show not a bruce wayne show and I know they're going for a different portrayal of bruce which I'm not complaining about I do like this version of bruce (more than I thought actually) and this universe but I feel like they could have gave more cracks you know, I like that they showed him trying to avoid the reality of jasons death and just not stopping not even for a second and just immediately jump into another case and that breakdown verge where he's begging dick to be robin and then when he finally I guess let's the weight of jasons loss sit on him to the point where he whacks in jokers head with a crowbar just like he killed jason (he could have killed joker so many other ways like a less violent bullet to the head but oh no brucey crowbars him to death!!)

There's a lot of character stuff that i do like but that scene where he's in the cave on his knees scrubbing his sons blood out of the suit he died in, the suit that he only ever wore because of batman. 😢 I feel like they could have had him crack there and let out a gut wrenching scream and then just continue on doing what he was doing as if nothing happened and dick walking in on that should have had more of a reaction!? like he could have stopped in his tracks at the sight of his brothers blood all over his father and bruce screaming, dick could have like took a step back almost like he's gonna run but forces himself to stay there, because who wouldn't want to run from that and no matter how much horrible things you've dealt with before sometimes your brain does just take over against your will and makes you react, the rest of the scene just could have played out the way it did. Literally one ounce more emotion is all I wanted.

No one really emotionally cracked at jasons death. I get that it just happened and that people put walls up and denial can be such a prominent thing when a loved one dies but it couldn't have been that difficult to put in little mannerisms now and again to show that everyone is deeply hurt but holding it in. Honestly gar seemed more hurt to me than dick did. But I do like that dick reacted in detective mode and started trying to figure things out from jasons side so at least there's that.

This redhood is defo not an anti hero he has well and truly landslided into villian territory and I dunno how that's gonna be reconciled? they better not kill him off! and they better not just straight up keep redhood/jason as a full on villian! but if they do get through to jason and bring him back a little how the heck is that little man gonna deal with what he did to Hank?? I feel like they had a bond you know and for all Hanks talk about putting Jason down I really don't think that Hank would actually have killed him even if it came down to Hanks life vs Jasons I think Hank would rather die than kill Jason (but that's heavily biased cuz in my mind jason is my son and I freaking love hank sooo) but Hank to me puts on a hard front like 'yeah I'll get in your face I'll come at you b*tch' but internally he's like 'yeah I'll come at you to help you' 😅 like internally he defo has a lot of soft spots though that's not to say he'd be like this for someone like the joker or scarecrow or whatever guys like that he'd be like no screw you you die or go to arkham like byeee

Nevermind how jason is gonna come back from this though HOW IN THE ACTUAL SH*T is dawn gonna come back from this!!?!!

Random side note here but imagine Jasons first time in the batcave he would be so excited and trying to mess with everything and being like ohh what's that do and pressing random buttons and bruce having a hernia trying to get jason to stop before he accidentally blows the cave up 😅 also he has probably been caught several times trying to 'borrow' the batmobile, I can just picture him trying to sneak down the halls of the manor without the floor creaking and making it all the way into the cave and doing a victory dance cuz he didn't get caught and he hops on into the batmobile in his pj's and let's out a scream cuz alfred is sitting in the freakin passenger seat waiting for him and then they just hang out in the batmobile alfred had the good foresight to bring a flask of tea books and a blanket for jason

Speaking of Alfred I think it would have been more angsty and hurtful if Alfred died shortly after Jason and after a few days Jason claws his way out his grave and the first thing he sees is Alfreds headstone and that's how he finds out Alfred died : (((

This is so long girl I'm sorry I know it doesn't seem like it but I did restrain myself 😅 one more thing before I go maybe this Dick is the absolute worst mf and the reason babs feels betrayed by him and is so upset with him could be that he left her (or cheated on her) with Dawn cuz of that weird flashback thingy in the other season where dick dawn was a thing I dunno I hope not though that would be ughhh

Oh crap, you right about probably something bad will happen to Tim for Bruce or Titans to take him in, I was gonna say he could just demand to be in their lives to save Bruce/Dick like in the comics but he also has kinda shitty parents normally and these people seem cool so really it could go either direction, but like it’s Titans so it doesn’t look good lol. Also, I wonder if it’s gonna be Dick who is basically gonna adopt him this time since we already had a huge track record in just 2 seasons lmao. But I know right, true I like how his parents knew immediately how much the news would effect him 😭 I hope he goes down the making himself robin and forcing himself in Dick and Bruce’s life xD I love that route. Lmao, the kid is all book smart, very little street smart when it doesn’t have to do with outsmarting someone XD

I was also rewatching and that gas he takes def has to be some anti fear toxin cause he mentions fear so many times and flash backed to his near death fall, which he felt was probably holding him and back and thus had to prove himself and adds to whatever is influencing him. But ohhh he did seem pretty dang anxious at the carnival grounds, that’s a really interesting theory but recreating something he found hmm, I can see that.

Apparently according to a YouTube who got to see the first 5 episodes, we find out what his deal is a lot more in episode 5, so one more week hopefully

Brooo trueee, I couldn’t believe jason took dick’s room and like didn’t even change anything. Like Jason looks or at least use to look up to Dick SO much, like in his first episode in the first season, he went on quite a lot about how much he had always wanted to meet him and how much he looked up to him, which is probably also fueling his red hood rage, being hurt by your idol and brother like he did in S2 must have really just killed the boy. But yes omg, there freaking better be a dang family reunion scene like, after so much angst we deserve that 😭

And yesss, I loved seeing how mature Dick is getting and just how much he is growing as a character, the fact he was so calm and considerate with Bruce at first really shows that compared to s1 Dick, only breaking when Bruce tried to get more kids involved. That scene by Brenton was sooo well acted omg, the way he yelled that he doesn’t want to robin again, heartbreaking man. And Bruce begging like that omg

Yeah, this version of Bruce is def so different than any Bruce we have seen on screen before, like def the most emotionally constipated, and that’s saying something xD But I like how they are taking a risk, it also helps Dick’s character more and give him more of an arc, as he seems to be taking on Bruce’s normal role with Jason and red hood. Bro, you are so right omg, like the fact Bruce could have killed the joker in any way and he does it with the dang crowbar. It really shows how broken he really was and why the man shouldn’t depressing any and every damn feeling and emotion lol.

Omg, I love how you have the exact details of what you wanted to happen in that one Bruce and Dick scene 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 bro if you dont already you should totally write fanfics cause that was so detailed, I love it

Yeah, I do wish someone cracked (other than Bruce lmao) a bit more, but I do think each character reacted in character though, like it is very Dick(at least this version of Dick, other versions may break down tbh) to put everything into solving the case and figuring out what was up, that’s more this version’s way of caring than just breaking down, like he rarely ever has broken down completely. I think dawn could have been a little more emotional about the death (tho she has enough coming for her lmao). Connor didn’t know Jason that well so it makes sense he would just be sad. Gar seemed pretty sad and in character about it, maybe could have had a bit more, same with Kori, tho she showed it by being almost angry and fiercely protective of everyone else, so I think that makes sense for her. It would have been interesting to see how Rachel and Rose would have reacted though (where did rose go btw?! She would so have a reaction to Jason’s death). But yeah, i wish there was more resolution and break downs for Jason, but also it may have just not felt real since they weren’t there? But I agree

You think? Idk, I think they could def still make him an anti hero towards the end, especially if it’s crane behind the whole thing. Cause if they don’t they are gonna have to go down the gosh awful overused villain gets redeemed while he dies/only to die right freaking after , and I will be so freaking livid if they do that omg. Like they better freaking not. But true, he would be broken by what he did to Hank, oh yikes. But I can see him then that leading to the anti hero path, like he would never go back to be on the titans cause he would feel too guilty, thus giving more of a reason for the anti hero life. But I know, I loved Jason and Hank’s love hate relationship 😭😭😭😭 You know Hank secretly loved the kid and probably saw himself in him.

Yikes poor dawn, you right. Like I have no idea how she is gonna be now like wow.

OMG GIRL, You are on a hc angst train today!!!! That scenario of Alfred dying right after jason and Jason climbing out to see Alfred’s?! Heartbreaking!

But I can’t believe they killed Alfred off so casually tho😭

Omg I swear if they freaking show Dick having cheated on Babs I will be so freaking pissed omg, he better have not! Im hoping they had a more high school romance thing/grew up together then got together type of thing

Nov 6 Dancitron Movie Night - Spider-Man: Homecoming

Guess what Prowl wasn’t here! He missed the whole movie. He missed it because Bonecrusher had a nervous breakdown and he and the Constructicons spent the whole evening dealing with it. Their room is rather a little bit trashed now.

Prowl showed up after the movie was over to ask Soundwave to leave Bonecrusher alone. In the process, he somehow managed to grievously offend Tarantulas.

Today Specs 7:39 pm ((is my username fixed so it doesn't contain swears now)) ItsyBitsySpyers 7:39 pm ((i think so)) Specs 7:39 pm ((oh good. I didn't know it was doing that until I saw puff's logs and got to drink a deep cask of SHAME)) ItsyBitsySpyers 7:40 pm *Soundwave's stretched across his couch with Ravage on his lap and the twins perched on its back. Laserbeak's playing along with the music on the screen, shuddering and partially transforming back and forth to help make sounds. They all seem quite comfy today.* ((LOL it's okay)) Specs 7:41 pm ((I should have been better behaved about rabbit holding ur stream hostage and I'm sorry >_>; )) Swoop 7:42 pm *literally rolls into the room, as you do* Definitely Not Shockwave 7:42 pm *Longarm strides into the room, observing the other occupants in a manner that appears awkwardly reserved.* Toothless 7:43 pm *flits in still as a teensy black dragon* ItsyBitsySpyers 7:43 pm *Soundwave twists a feeler around to look at the mechs coming in. Swoop, Bevel, the toothless scraplet... oh, there's a new face. Very well. He'll sit up properly.* *Reputation, and all.* Swoop 7:44 pm *scampers over to watch Bird "dance"with the music* :V ItsyBitsySpyers 7:44 pm {{You join.}} Specs 7:44 pm *and here comes a teensy, FURRED dragon! she's brought a basket of energon truffles this time! her paws are still bandaged up, though, and without the hideous dragon costume it's clear that her face fur is shorter than it should be, although there's long fur around the eyes. she was wearing goggles, at least.* Definitely Not Shockwave 7:45 pm *He takes note of the glance, and finds a seat fitting for someone of his size class.* Swoop 7:45 pm ((times I wish I had a gif of swoop dancing on Junkion)) Definitely Not Shockwave 7:45 pm *The guests sure are....Interesting.* Toothless 7:45 pm *gives other smol dragon a goofy, teefsless grin* Magnum Ace 7:46 pm -doesn't even pause this time. He's getting better at this- Swoop 7:46 pm Keehee! Kay! *has all the enthusiasm and physical strength for dancing but no experience, so he def looks his age* Specs 7:46 pm *the dragon gapes a grin back, and bobs her head at the other smol dragon* Hello, cousin! Bull 7:46 pm *Bull Armor is still wary following Magnum in; but remembers what the other Leaguer told him* Swoop 7:47 pm ((omg I found it http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/transformers/images/7/70/Junkiondance.gif/revision/latest?cb=20071214143716 )) ItsyBitsySpyers 7:47 pm [[Greetings. Refuel at your leisure.]] Soundwave gestures to the usual arrangement of energon and what the dragon has brought this week. Then, looking at the short mech again - as if he doesn't already know. [[What is your designation?]] Swoop 7:47 pm ((ngl it looks HILARIOUS watching all those g1 losers dance to this music)) Specs 7:47 pm ((get jiggy wit it soop)) (swoop. I meant swoop.))

Definitely Not Shockwave 7:48 pm ((Soup.)) ItsyBitsySpyers 7:48 pm ((15 minute warning))

((soundwave's was directed to longarm)) ((rumble was addressing bull armor)) Bull 7:49 pm It's Bull Armor. *Bull was less nervous this time* Magnum Ace 7:49 pm -that's good. Still feels bad about dragging him along again, though- ItsyBitsySpyers 7:50 pm //Gotcha. You got a short version, or y'wanna be full Bull Armor?// Bevel 7:50 pm *is at her usual table just existing while the mun nurses a migraine* Definitely Not Shockwave 7:50 pm *He nods, holding his hands together in a polite manner.* I am called Longarm. I presume you are Soundwave? Bull 7:50 pm Well, some just call me Bull for short. I don't mind, either way. Specs 7:52 pm ((swoop check ur inbox)) Swoop 7:53 pm ((?)) Specs 7:53 pm ((check)) ItsyBitsySpyers 7:53 pm *Just as in the tapes. Well, if that's the desired cover, he's not going to break it. Longarm it is.*

[[Correct. Have you heard our rules?]] //Ace 'n Bull. Heh, you guys got somebody with a C?// Swoop 7:53 pm Me Swoop am COMEDIAN Me Swoop am COMEDIAN - Specs 7:54 pm ((you're welcome)) Swoop 7:54 pm ((i'd eat it)) Tarantulas 7:54 pm (( gosh, that soup definitely looks too hot for me Swoop 7:54 pm ((LOL)) ItsyBitsySpyers 7:54 pm *Laserbeak drifts toward the dragon, hoping to score a few of the snacks before too many people get to them. She wiggles a feeler in greeting. This organic is an honored provider. They get hellos.* Swoop 7:54 pm *doesn't know how to do slower music and settles for bouncing on his toes after Laserbeak* Toothless 7:54 pm *chittersnorts at Swoopsoup* Tarantulas 7:55 pm (( also: i really want to imagine swoop doing expressive interpretive dance to this, super dramatic like, but too ooc, alas Specs 7:55 pm *the dragon bobs her head at laserbeak, too. and swoop. hi swoop* Hope you enjoy! 😄 Swoop 7:55 pm ((when he's older, he would do that XD)) ((he hasn't figured out the joy of doing things IRONICALLY yet)) Definitely Not Shockwave 7:56 pm Ah, I skimmed them. No killing, no dark energon, yes? I assure you, I'm one of the least trouble-prone Autobots in my platoon-- I'll be no trouble. Bull 7:56 pm There is Carl. *Though Bull knew Silkie would not like any one of his crew in such a strange place alone* Swoop 7:56 pm ((bird, teach him about melodrama)) Magnum Ace 7:56 pm -a small snort of laughter from over here- No, unfortunately none of our other teammates have a name that begins with 'C' Well... -And Bull's answered for him- Swoop 7:57 pm ((alternately, swoop would totally copy Tara if he had someone to dance with..... after he finished trying to grab tara's everything)) Toothless 7:58 pm *scrap-dragon tries to wriggle in time to music* ItsyBitsySpyers 7:58 pm [[Good. He has enough of it.]] *Especially with Swoop around.*

//Maybe next time this Carl fragger oughta come. Get a whole alphabet goin'. Heh.// Tarantulas 7:58 pm *tarantulas arrives just in time, but PURPOSEFULLY avoids swoop to the extent of even going the long way around the room to soundwave's couch* Swoop 7:58 pm *IS A PRECIOUS CHILD, SOUNDWAVE* ItsyBitsySpyers 7:58 pm ((bird is best tutor. FIVE MINUTE WARNING get the snacks and drinks you need)) Bull 7:59 pm Umm... I highly doubt Silkie would be too happy with us bringing him or any of the others here. Magnum Ace 7:59 pm -And there's the reason Magnum said 'no'- Specs 7:59 pm *the dragon glides over to the scrap-dragon, hesitantly trying to imitate the wiggles* Definitely Not Shockwave 7:59 pm ((Canned cheese and crackers: secured.)) Twincast 7:59 pm ((//slides in Toothless 7:59 pm ((will have tea momentarily)) ItsyBitsySpyers 7:59 pm ((YOOOOO)) *Soundwave nods to Tarantulas and moves over slightly. There's room, do sit.* Twincast 8:00 pm ((I was just lamenting not having anything to do lmao. so this is good ovo Bull 8:00 pm ((I'm kindof tempted to grabs some chips)) Swoop 8:00 pm *the ratio of dancing to just hopping is starting to tilt pretty heavily towards hopping, the giggles are still rock solid though* Magnum Ace 8:00 pm ((BAAAAY! Twincast 8:00 pm ((HI? Magnum Ace 8:00 pm ((it's Boom Twincast 8:00 pm ((ah, thought so ItsyBitsySpyers 8:00 pm *Laserbeak has taken to clapping her feelers against the floor in time with Swoop's hops.* Magnum Ace 8:00 pm ((hehe, hi! Swoop 8:00 pm *ENDLESSLY ENCOURAGED* Twincast 8:00 pm *casually strides in like he hasn't been gone forever & finds an unoccupied place to sit* Definitely Not Shockwave 8:01 pm *The mouth of his faceplate turns upward in a horrendously stiff smile. He turns away in order to secure some energon treats before the show begins.* Magnum Ace 8:01 pm And I don't think Carl would fare quite as well as me or Bull if he wandered in here ItsyBitsySpyers 8:03 pm *Silent amusement at that smile. Oh, that one's going to be entertaining if they stick around.*

\\WHATCHA MEAN?\\ //He freak out easy or someth-- ah, Pit. Tell me Rewind ain't here.// Tarantulas 8:03 pm *tarantulas will take that seat next to sw, thanks. he's oddly silent - a mix of Too Many People and Heck Yes Spider-Man* Twincast 8:03 pm Well, uh, he IS, but he's recharging--less you wanna wake him. *snickers* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:04 pm *Both twins loudly hiss NO* Twincast 8:04 pm *has several docked right now, nbd* Magnum Ace 8:04 pm He'll probabl-huh?

Like, a long time.// Magnum Ace 8:05 pm -Who and what just happened?- ((human-ish sized robots Twincast 8:05 pm *continues snickering* Alright, hear ya loud n' clear. He'll stay on the train to sleepy time junction Swoop 8:05 pm *will be a "good" boy so long as he's dancing but, be warned, whoever he ends up next to when the music ends is gonna have a hyped up pterobaby to deal with, take your seats carefully all* Definitely Not Shockwave 8:05 pm (( Gotcha.)) Magnum Ace 8:05 pm ((they're called leaguers because they play sports ItsyBitsySpyers 8:06 pm ((OKAY, WARNINGS: ...I actually forgot to write them down when prescreening this movie cause I got carried away watching. There's violence and blood and some Language, and uhhh. S...piders? I don't remember, y'all.)) Bull 8:06 pm *Bull looks confused, having no clue what was going on* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:06 pm ((Probably some flashing lights at one point.)) Definitely Not Shockwave 8:06 pm (( Spiders? In spider man?????)) (( No way.)) Specs 8:06 pm *the dragon stretches, and gives up on wiggling to go find a seat* You're a better dancer than I am, cousin. Twincast 8:06 pm ((inconcievable!

He doesn't know what to think about this music, or the humans on screen. Is one of them....nothing but protoform?* *Befuddling.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:08 pm *Frenzy shakes his helm and speaks to the two Leaguers in a stage whisper that doesn't get lower than a hoarse shout.*

\\DON'T WORRY 'BOUT NOTHIN'. BRO DON'T LIKE THAT MECH'S PALS IS ALL.\\ Bull 8:09 pm Oh... Magnum Ace 8:09 pm Ah...I guess that's a reason...

I'LL GET 'IM LATER, HEH.\\ Specs 8:12 pm *if you listen closely, you can hear an undignified squawk from a dragon that just got clotheslined by a wing and launched to the floor* ((specsdragon is pancake)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:12 pm [[What was that?]] *Zoop.

ItsyBitsySpyers 8:13 pm //Haha!// Definitely Not Shockwave 8:13 pm *He curiously observes Soundwave's feeler-- the "gem" on his forehead flashing for a brief second.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:14 pm *While the first one moves to scoop Swoop off the dragon, the second slithers out to peek at that 'gem'. The claws turn from side to side before it settles into a coil.* Twincast 8:14 pm *oh, this don't ever end well--what with humans keepin' alien tech* Swoop 8:14 pm *SQUEALS happily when he's suddenly in the air* Magnum Ace 8:14 pm -doesn't like where this is going- Specs 8:14 pm *the fur rug piteously slides off the couch and onto the floor* ...Hi...

That is, until he feels as if he's being watched. He turns his helm in the direction of the other feeler.* Specs 8:17 pm ((get off vine, pete)) Swoop 8:19 pm *kicks his feet in the air purely for entertainment purposes* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:19 pm *It clicks the claws at Longarm. Soundwave is, for the record, still looking at the screen.*

//Yeah, no prob.// Toothless 8:20 pm (( oh for pity's sake hug him, Tony )) Swoop 8:20 pm Bird bird bird ItsyBitsySpyers 8:21 pm {{What?}} Toothless 8:21 pm *wiggling to music again* Swoop 8:21 pm Hi : > ItsyBitsySpyers 8:21 pm {{Hello. Neheh.}} Swoop 8:22 pm Me Swoop UP Specs 8:22 pm *the dragon would grin at the scrapdragon, but she's too busy being a furry decoration on someone's arm* Definitely Not Shockwave 8:22 pm *Longarm's faceplate blinks rapidly, glancing between Sounwave and the end of the feeler. Well, if he's going to be like that....He extends one of his arms along the floor, careful not to bump into anyone, and waves his fingers toward the snapping claw.* Swoop 8:22 pm *pulls his legs up under him so he is more up* Tarantulas 8:22 pm *tarantulas is totally bouncing just a tiiiiiny bit in his seat. there's been like two seconds of spider content and he's already jazzed* Magnum Ace 8:23 pm ((made an attempt to hack up own lungs there Twincast 8:23 pm (( pats? 8c Magnum Ace 8:23 pm ((my bad Swoop 8:23 pm *doesn't have the self-awareness or attention span to see peter being him @bird* *instead he's trying to see if he can lean backwards enough to flip upside down* Twincast 8:26 pm 'sat really the best place, pete? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:26 pm *Fascinating. He's always wanted to see one of the arms doing that up close. Longarm should probably take the limb back, though. If he leaves it there much longer, Soundwave's going to start inspecting the surface to find out how the outer construction differs from his.*

((*puts your lungs where they go*)) *He's also going to set Swoop down at last. He's not a jungle gym.*

Then again, usually us dragons... deal with problems more directly. I suppose we don't really have a chance to get to "faking" death. Tarantulas 10:14 pm *shakes the leg, off with you* Swoop 10:14 pm *squawks* Magnum Ace 10:14 pm He couldn't, not without endangering Owner, and coach Windchill 10:15 pm *Hand shoots up.* Swoop!

Tarantulas 10:15 pm Yes, please do Swoop 10:15 pm Me Swoop no want SITTING Windchill 10:15 pm *He SLAMS his fist into his palm with a loud CRACK* Or else. Magnum Ace 10:15 pm Yeah, everyone he knew would be in trouble if he tried to deal with them Swoop 10:15 pm ???? Else? Windchill 10:15 pm Or else you have to sit by yourself? What do you want to do then? Specs 10:16 pm *the dragon looks a little surprised* Going after relatives for the actions of one being? I... Well, I suppose that's pretty alien to me. Toothless 10:16 pm O,o Swoop 10:16 pm Me Swoop dont want sit AND Me Swoop dont want sit aLONE Magnum Ace 10:16 pm I...doubt they would have just stopped with relatives Windchill 10:17 pm Then come do whatever it is you're doing over here. Specs 10:17 pm *the dragon looks VASTLY more surprised at that* Duly noted... Bull 10:17 pm They would have gone after Silkie, Ryuken and the others. Tarantulas 10:17 pm You'll have to hold him up, then, apparently. Let him hang off your arm or something of the sort, Windchill. Windchill 10:17 pm I can do that. I'm big. Almost the biggest.

Us go flying! Outside! Kehehehhhh not inside flying. Windchill 10:19 pm Okay, bye. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:19 pm *NYOOM she flies to join him* Specs 10:19 pm I suppose the benefit of directness is that we also don't go after those who never harmed us. *the dragon yawns* This was a long one. I should rest. Next time? Swoop 10:19 pm *makes his escape* ((l8r)) Toothless 10:20 pm *then suddently >poofs< back into a scraplet and falls off the shelf with a startled chirr* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:20 pm [[Enjoyed yourself, scraplet?]]

[[Yes, next time.]] Toothless 10:20 pm *NODNODNOD and loud purrs* Bull 10:21 pm Not a bad movie... just didn't care for all the flying and heights. Tarantulas 10:21 pm *flopping back onto the couch. that was So Stressful* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:21 pm *Small nod. Good.*

[[He will remember to keep a small dish of bolts for you next time.]] //Ah, ya get used to it.// \\UNLESS YER RAVAGE.\\ //Heh. He still hates flyin' docked.// Bull 10:22 pm I really don't like flying or heights. Too many bad experiences in the air. Magnum Ace 10:23 pm -nudges.

Not weird at all* Bull 10:25 pm *shudders* The volleyball deathmatch above the Andes Mountains in that lightning storm against the Deus has to be one of the worst.

HOW'D YA GET UP THERE?\\ Twincast 10:26 pm *shh, not that one, rumble* Bull 10:27 pm That was my fault. Didn't think playing a volleyball game would turn so dangerous. Magnum Ace 10:27 pm It's okay, we all trusted them ItsyBitsySpyers 10:27 pm *Rumble collapses with relief against the arm of the couch. Thank Primus.* Twincast 10:27 pm *When Frenzy isn't so occupied with the story, he was gonna offer letting a certain other twin stay. If that's alright with everyone else* Bull 10:28 pm Didn't know the game field would take off into the air. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:28 pm *Soundwave will allow it.* Magnum Ace 10:28 pm And I will be happy if that never happens again ItsyBitsySpyers 10:28 pm //The whole... uh.// *What was the story about? Flying fields?* //The whole field?//

*Nudges Frenzy with a pede and subtly points at snoozing Eject.* Magnum Ace 10:28 pm The whole field Windchill 10:29 pm (( I'm trying to eat and cats are swarming around me send help. )) Toothless 10:29 pm *flies over to land beside smol warm-metal visitors and looks up at them, offers comfort purrs* Bull 10:29 pm No safety rails or anything. Just the field and miles of air beneath us.

[[And he was in the mood for the instruments used in these.]] Tarantulas 10:35 pm Hyeh, fair enough. Magnum Ace 10:36 pm -pats Bull- At least we know that volleyball is not a sport we want to try again too soon Tarantulas 10:36 pm I don't exactly have a playlist of spider songs myself. *he probably actually does, shh* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:36 pm \\YOU GOTTA GET US FOOTAGE OF THAT GAME. THE VALLEY-BALL.

*Laserbeak's gonna be dreaming too, Windchill. You're not alone.* Windchill 10:37 pm *One day, it'll happen. Because the mun was planning on it before this move came out lol.* Bull 10:38 pm Only one twisted enough would be Segal *so hopes the footage doesn't exist* Windchill 10:38 pm What is this mushy stuff? Magnum Ace 10:38 pm We're not asking him ItsyBitsySpyers 10:39 pm [[As he said, he wanted the instruments playing it.]] Windchill 10:39 pm Shameful. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:39 pm ((do i or do i not tease tarantulas in response to windchill)) Windchill 10:40 pm (( Might as well. )) I only like one song.

Tarantulas 10:41 pm *immediately leans forward and puts his face in his paws without a word* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:41 pm [[All he is doing is playing music with a specific sound.]] Windchill 10:41 pm I've heard worse.

IF YOU AIN'T GONNA PROBABLY DIE PLAYIN'.\\ Magnum Ace 10:42 pm We hope that's no longer the case Bull 10:43 pm I think we've all gone through too many 'death games' as it is. I'll be happy just to play normal League matches. Windchill 10:43 pm Too many is when you're no longer fazed by it. Magnum Ace 10:43 pm .... Windchill 10:44 pm That's when there's no turning back.

Soundwave, where you you even GET these ideas.:: *smol shove with spide leg, with a mental flick along with it* Windchill 10:44 pm It's good to quit early. Magnum Ace 10:44 pm -guess who's shifting uncomfortably again- Bull 10:44 pm .... *looks at Magnum and knows why he looks that way* Windchill 10:45 pm Better to still be scared than no longer care whether you live or DIE. I think. Depends on who you ask. Don't ask Whirl, is what I mean. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:45 pm \\LISTEN. IF YOU AIN'T TEARIN' YOUR SPARK - UH, OR WHATEVER Y'GOT - OUTTA SOMEONE ELSE'S HANDS, YOU AIN'T LIVIN'.

There was still obviously a dent.* *Whirl, willingly touch The Butt?* FakeProwl 11:07 pm @Soundwave «Bonecrusher had a... I guess it was a nervous breakdown. We had to stop him from jumping off the balcony. Scavenger's scoop is broken. So's the TV. And several stairs. And several of your cameras. He's welded a fort out of berths in the corner of the the berth room. He refuses to come out. There's no way we're going to get him to go to work today, and Scavenger can't with his injury, which means Hook is going to be out fixing Scavenger, and all this has riled up whatever's hurting Mixmaster's fuel tank, which leaves Long Haul and me, and Long Haul isn't going to go in if the rest don't.» ItsyBitsySpyers 11:07 pm *...............Pit.* Tarantulas 11:07 pm (( ok but what if windchill used https://img.wonderhowto.com/img/14/73/63572489362819/0/fix-car-dents-8-easy-ways-remove-dents-yourself-without-ruining-paint.w1456.jpg

Let's say that he did. )) Tarantulas 11:08 pm (( bless FakeProwl 11:08 pm ((*hears song using "lightyear" as a unit of time and FLUFFS UP AGGRESSIVELY*)) Tarantulas 11:10 pm Were you asking if any of us CAN sing, or if we DO sing on occasion - or, if we can sing WELL at all? Just to clarify. Windchill 11:10 pm Any and all of the above? FakeProwl 11:11 pm @Soundwave «... Actually, I suppose "one of the team had an nervous breakdown due to prison surveillance and the rest of the team is dealing with the resultant injuries and fallout" is a perfectly valid excuse all by itself, so never mind, that part's sorted.» Tarantulas 11:12 pm Fair. Count me as a yes, then. Windchill 11:12 pm *He knows the Shrek version better.* *Tragic.* If you say so. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:13 pm *Now looking away from Prowl. He'd thought the Constructicons were made of sterner stuff. Expected some sort of aggressive confrontation, perhaps.*

(txt): ...Expectation: Bonecrusher gives appropriate respect, in future. Insults, insinuations, pranks: unwanted.

(txt): Soundwave repairs property damages, delivers appropriate work leave excuse. Bonecrusher watch: ended. Hook's medical supplies: replaced.

*Finally glancing back.*

(txt): ...What wrong, Mixmaster? ItsyBitsySpyers 11:15 pm *Oh. Well, it seems Prowl figured out the excuse himself. That's the trouble with working his thoughts into text, he supposes.* FakeProwl 11:15 pm *Destroying furniture and surveillance equipment isn't aggressive enough?*

@Soundwave «"Appropriate respect"? What, did he do something to you first?» ItsyBitsySpyers 11:15 pm [[...He did not know you were a 'yes', Tarantulas. Consider that another demonstration request.]] Tarantulas 11:16 pm I didn't say which part I was saying 'yes' to, goodness. There was the option of ANY. Windchill 11:16 pm Well, technically. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:16 pm [[His interest remains.]] Tarantulas 11:16 pm *huffs* Windchill 11:16 pm If you can sing then it follows that you must sing on occasion, or else that's unproven. And if you sing well, then you can sing. Some of those are mutually inclusive. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:18 pm *Directed at HIM. Not inanimate objects.*

@Prowl: (txt): Affirmative. Labeled [][][]sheet metal[][][], implied Soundwave: interface voyeur, subject: multiverse inhabitants, permission status: none. Long before, assisted false Prowl interface message delivery. Tarantulas 11:18 pm If the logic statement is A or B or C, and I answer yes, any one or pair or all could be true, so the mutual inclusion isn't a trouble. FakeProwl 11:19 pm @Soundwave «... You thought to refute the claim that you were a voyeur who watches people without their permission by... continuously watching him without his permission?» Windchill 11:19 pm Obviously, hence there being no real point in arguing a distinction, as there isn't much of one between them. Tarantulas 11:20 pm There's no point fussing though - let's just say I can sing, I do sing, and I'm not objective enough about my own voice to know whether it's done well or not. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:21 pm @Prowl: (txt): If that, insisted, supposed treatment: delivered. Now, true difference: known. Windchill 11:21 pm *Luckily, his face is still planted on the floor and his eye roll remains hidden. WHY NOT JUST SAY THAT THEN, it's so much easier.* Kill me softly...

Which I doubt is at all objectionable from your perspective, but from mine makes things difficult.» Windchill 11:23 pm *GRUNTS and picks himself up...to sit on his knees.* *Wipes his face in case it's dirty or drooly.* *Drool: unconfirmed.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:25 pm *Hand flick.*

@Prowl: (txt): Irritating. Acceptable belief, if future vocalizer control: excellent; rumor spread likelihood: low, now observance abilities: understood.

*And if Bonecrusher understands that Soundwave is a vague, undefined threat, then he might be able to use that if they ever turn on Prowl.*

FakeProwl 11:32 pm *You mistake Bonecrusher for somebody bright enough to figure that out.* Tarantulas 11:33 pm *looks back at chill* What, the power to thoroughly embarrass yourself? No thank you. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:33 pm *Whether Soundwave can twerk or not is unknown. Nobody's convincing him to either say it or try. Not in public, anyway.* Windchill 11:34 pm I'm too powerful to suffer embarrassment. That doesn't happen to me. If I twerk, I OWN IT. Along with everything else that brings shame to lesser mortals, such as yourself. *He's joking, but it's also true: he feels no shame.* Windchill 11:36 pm *His straight faced facade breaks, and he snickers.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:36 pm *...For a split-second, Soundwave was tempted to be one last bit of vicious and ask if Bonecrusher needed to be put under a safety watch.*

Continue. FakeProwl 11:42 pm *Gives Soundwave a baffled look.

On with you. *another spider leg wave* Windchill 12:03 am Don't tell me what to do, I'm already going. But, maybe if you ask nicely. Tarantulas 12:03 am Please. Windchill 12:04 am I'll stay. Okay. *sits down.* Tarantulas 12:04 am *oh primus is he serious* *who is he kidding. windchill's always serious* Windchill 12:04 am *Always.* *Especially right now.* I feel so wanted. So appreciated. Thanks. Tarantulas 12:05 am This'd be a lovely time for a bridge to just. Spontaneously open below Windchill's now-undented aft. Windchill 12:05 am You think? *Blips out of existence.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:06 am *He's not going to do that. Windchill hasn't broken any rules.* *Well. He has before. But not right now.* Windchill 12:08 am *That WOULD be disparate treatment, but he's used to that.

And then quietly try again.* Tarantulas 12:15 am Come now, if you're going to ignore me, you might as well try to placate me by sitting on my lap while you do it. FakeProwl 12:16 am *Right. Okay. He's not going to sit around and take that. He's going to go incorporeal to slide out of Tarantulas's arms.* Tarantulas 12:16 am *stiffens up* FakeProwl 12:16 am I wasn't ignoring you. I said I'm tired. Tarantulas 12:18 am You can be both, you know. FakeProwl 12:18 am I'm not both. I'm tired. Tarantulas 12:19 am I /heard/ you. I said so. Primus. *glances at soundwave* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:20 am *What? Why is he being glanced at? Looks from one to the other with mild confusion.* FakeProwl 12:21 am *... What does he say to that?* *...... Nothing, he supposes.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:22 am This message has been removed. ((get out of there random brackets)) Tarantulas 12:24 am *proceeds to get up* Apparently you're still conscious enough to run your avatar and stop by Dancitron, but I won't stress you any more than that by asking that you acknowledge my existence. That'd be petty. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:24 am *...Hold on, now.*

[[One moment.]] FakeProwl 12:24 am ... I came by to conduct necessary business. It has been concluded. I should leave. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:25 am [[Do not blame Prowl for being tired. It was concerning a matter he himself failed to correct.]] FakeProwl 12:25 am Don't. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:26 am [[...And he does not understand this - this. Tarantulas agreed.]] Tarantulas 12:29 am Prowl is tired. "Business" is concluded. And clearly I'm not needed here, so - *starts to huff, but just sighs and lets his shoulders fall.* It's of no consequence. I'll speak with you both another time. FakeProwl 12:29 am *... Disappears.* Tarantulas 12:30 am *he's trying not to let this get to him. he's trying. he had a good time watching the movie, damnit, and now - well.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:30 am *Primus damn it all. What HAPPENED? One moment he was nudging Prowl's attention away from a settled matter so Tarantulas would have time tonight and suddenly it'd become some sort of minor spat?* [[You may stay longer if you wish. If you do not, then he accepts your farewell for the night.]] Tarantulas 12:33 am ...I would stay, but there's really no reason to, is there. Hyeh. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:34 am *And he doesn't understand the "don't", either. What was he supposed to do, NOT take responsibility for what'd held Prowl's attention up when something about that had spawned all of this?*

[[That is not his decision.]] Tarantulas 12:37 am No, it might not be, but - nevermind. *walks off abruptly, small wave behind him* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:38 am *Soundwave watches Tarantulas go and shakes his helm. Well. That was... something. He's done with the day. Upstairs and straight to recharge for him.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:45 am *Except that it doesn't come as easily as usual. Not understanding bothers him as it is. Somehow, the added "don't" makes it worse.*

*Well, he's not going anywhere else, and neither is Prowl. Quick comm, on the off-chance he might actually get an answer.*

(txt): Clarify: [][][]don't[][][]. FakeProwl 12:48 am *It takes a moment for Prowl to reply.* «What?» *And a moment longer to figure out what it's about.* «Oh. Moment. Gotta move.» *Please hold for about a minute.* FakeProwl 12:54 am *Right. He's back. Had to get out on the balcony. Prowl doesn't know whether being in comm contact with Soundwave would upset Bonecrusher but he wasn't going to keep sitting next to Ft. Berth and find out.* «There is one and only one reason that I told you what happened in here: because you have access to our cameras and a duty to monitor them, and would have very shortly found out anyway. What happened in here is absolutely nobody's business but Bonecrusher's, and it most certainly is not Tarantulas's business.» «The reason I told him I was tired is because that is the PRECISE amount of information about the situation I wanted him to know.» ItsyBitsySpyers 1:01 am @Prowl: (txt): Detail offer never intended. If demanded, suitable alternative explanation given. ((fucking enter key too early)) ItsyBitsySpyers 1:04 am (txt): Tarantulas truth promise never given. Addition: Telepathic permission not received. Prowl reason: unheard, unidentified. If argument source: Soundwave, blame: absorbed, misunderstanding severity: split, reduced. Potential Tarantulas threat: reduced.

(txt): In future, silence retained unless addressed. FakeProwl 1:07 am «... Do you think Tarantulas was becoming a threat?» *Oh, Primus, Prowl is too tired for this. He's too tired for this. Let him sleep and never wake up.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:10 am (txt): Not within moment. Perhaps if future reconciliation: failure. Unknown. Personal choice: minimize failure, potential outcome. Situation view correction, clarification: accepted. Additional details not required. FakeProwl 1:11 am «...... Do you think future reconciliation failure is a significant risk.» ItsyBitsySpyers 1:17 am (txt): Uncertain. Volatile personality: non-standard personal companion choice. Personal preference: caution.

(txt): Prowl Mesothulas-Tarantulas familiarity: higher. If reconciliation: expected, expectation: adopted. That, all known now. FakeProwl 1:18 am *Too late, Prowl's been infected with doubt.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:18 am *Damn it.* FakeProwl 1:19 am «...... Was I that bad.» ItsyBitsySpyers 1:19 am (txt): Bad? FakeProwl 1:20 am «At— At... Whatever I did. Wrong.» ItsyBitsySpyers 1:25 am (txt): Prowl: not bad.

(txt): Curious action: slide away after Tarantulas agreement. Not understood. FakeProwl 1:25 am «... What.» *After Tarantulas what? To what? When? He rubs his helm as he digs back in the audio files.* FakeProwl 1:28 am *It takes him a moment to figure out what Soundwave read as an agreement.* «He wasn't agreeing. That was sarcasm.» *Beat.* «... WASN'T that sarcasm? Was it NOT? Was Tarantulas being SINCERE? Oh, DAMMIT—» *The comm mutes. Give Prowl a second.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:29 am *...Well, he THOUGHT it sounded sincere. Now he's the one infected with doubt. But he'll give Prowl a second.* FakeProwl 1:30 am *He unmutes the comm, but he doesn't make the mistake of saying anything else. Apparently he's no good at that tonight.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:36 am *It takes a couple of seconds of background noise to work out that it's back on and Prowl is being silent.*

(txt): ...Perhaps recharge: helpful. Cell situation: stressful. Stressed Prowl social limits: strained, restricted.

*He learned that months before, when he got snapped at.*

(txt): Evening: stress addition. Within ability, minor solution: rest, peace, quiet. Afterward, examination: easier.

(txt): Soundwave gives, if wanted. FakeProwl 1:41 am *Huff. Stressed. You think? You think, Soundwave? You think Prowl hasn't realized he's been dealing with not only his own stress of being locked up with five people he hates but also the mental weight of their gradual disillusionment with him AND the nervous twitchy mind-picking fear pouring out of Bonecrusher AND the traces of Bonecrusher's fear bouncing through the other Constructicons' minds AND the fear and guilt and pain over learning what happened to Dominus AND the fact that all this is going on while part of him wants to shut off and never turn back on do you think thAT PROWL DOESN'T KNOW HE'S IN A STRESSFUL SITUATION AND THAT IT'S TEARING HIS MIND'S ABILITY TO FUNCTION TO SHREDS, SOUNDWAVE, DO YOU REALLY THINK HE DOESN'T—*

«... Yes. Reasonable.» *It's a good thing he didn't give Soundwave permission for telepathy tonight.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:51 am *Soundwave ends the call the second he understands that those are the only two words to be spoken.*

*Mostly because he's getting the growing and somewhat uncomfortable sense he shouldn't have carried on with his horrible surveillance game for so long. Maybe at all? He doesn't know. He has the right to be treated with respect, and the fear version of it is the only thing that's ever seemed to stick with Constructicons. But the more he thinks about it, the more he wonders if the shared connection means Prowl's secretly been afraid of his watching too. And a tiny part of the reason he took the job and restricted camera access so severely was to make sure Prowl would be SAFE. How is that safe?*

*All this mess in the prison cell, and with individual mechs, and how this is going to affect city rebuilding process, and partial responsibility for this business with Tarantulas, and--*

*...He really DOESN'T want to hurt Prowl. He would rather eat a scraplet. But what is he supposed to call all of this, if not that?*

*Well. Soundwave's still not going to get much recharge, but now it'll be because he's doing a very different kind of thinking.* FakeProwl 1:58 am This message has been removed. FakeProwl 2:06 am *... Soundwave hung up on him. No goodbye, no nothing. Now he was upset with Prowl, too? What had Prowl done wrong there? Was he too terse? Had he failed to filter out his anger? He wasn't angry because of Soundwave, he was just tired, he really WAS tired, it wasn't just an excuse—it was just an excuse, wasn't it? Had he sounded angry earlier tonight, when he was explaining to Soundwave what happened? He hadn't meant to. But had he come on too strong? Had he been dropping a hint about Prowl's attitude, when he'd mentioned that Prowl's social limits were restricted when he was stressed? Had Soundwave been telling Prowl he was being offensive? Had Prowl missed it? Should he call back and apologize? Had he already missed his chance to apologize?*

*He sits on the balcony, and pulls his knees to his chest. He stays there the rest of the night.*

EP. 12 - “Oh How The Tides Have Turned” - REGAN

https://youtu.be/87W1CYDauwc

Honestly that tribal council last night could've gone better, but I think that may have been the best outcome we could've seen.. What last night really shows is that my "side" won the battle, and now those who remain from the other side Jared/Nicole/Asya are kinda scrambling to integrate themselves.. Jared is definitely someone I know our side thinks we can trust, and he's doing a great job at integrating himself within the group for sure As of now, I've been thinking about it more and more, and Jared telling me that Dan was REALLY thinking about getting out Augusto, and what Dan was saying in the process, makes me really think that I can't trust Dan anymore.. He's playing Jared really hard to try to make sure that Dan can have Jared and Nicole on his side when our group splits, and I'm not liking it too much The thing that disappoints me is that I really trusted Dan 100%, and if I didn't hear that he was doing this, I probably would've still stuck with him EVEN AFTER he voted for me at the f11 tribal council.. Now what I've gotta do is play the field a little more. Nicole told me she lost her vote at ghost island, and I'm not sure how many people are going to know that's a fact or not, but I'm glad that I know she can't vote, really meaning the only person's vote I'd actually be concerned for is Asya.. By working with Roxy, Regan, Augusto, and Jared, to take out Dan, I think we can efficiently pull off a blindside on him and send him to jury, freeing up Vilma, Asya and Nicole, bc tbh, Dan has remarkable relationships with all three, and it's almost becoming too little too late before Dan becomes too powerful in the game I know i'm not necessarily out of hot water yet, especially because I know certain people would salvate at the thought of taking me out, but I've just gotta keep playing it cool, and not make it too known that Dan is probably my next target.. Kinda disappointing the way things ended with Alex and I, but he gave me 0 effort after he voted for me, and I'm not really going to do the same for him after he made a f2 with me, tried to convince me to not play my idol at tribal, and then being the one that was mad at me after tribal, because I asked him to vote for nicole before tribal, when I was actually voting for Ricky.. Shame shame shame Mr. Crooks. Shame shame

OMG this is perfect Roxy just told Regan wants a F3 with us And like THATS WHAT I SAID MY IDEAL F3 WAS I'm all for it Alternative contenders would be Dan and Nicole But I wouldn't feel comfortable going to the end with anyone else really I want to get rid of one of Jared / Johnny asap I know they're close plus they're way too unpredictable I don't like unpredictable players I want to be able to predict where everyone's loyalties lie

I forgot to add this into my last confessional, but Jared and I just promised each other f3, and I don't intend on going back on that.. I know that I am going to try my hardest to get to the end at this point, by any means necessary. It's single digits now, and i'm ready to start being a little ballsier with my moves. Bring it on bb and let's see how deep I can get being crazy heehee

So jared and johnny told me to play my idol last round So I did And i wasted it But vilma got the idol clue AND BAM i told her to search where I thought it wasnt so I could get the idol and I did. I wanted the control. But if vilma gets votes I'll use it on her. I trust her 100% because she has yet to lie to me. And also because I think I can beat her. This time no one but her knows. I had to tell her or else it wouldn't be fair. oh how the tides have turned. We are iconic

these people suck, i miss ricky and alex

(A LITTLE LATER)

https://goo.gl/images/kDMJVb

somebody please send this to jared i think he’s confused.

So I have a lot to catch y’all up on so get your tea cups! Asya and I talked last night and formed a super close alliance and somehow we ended up being the swings for tonight so that’s exciting! Also I’m glad I won immunity tbh! Anyway, the vote is between Nicole and Jared for sure but there was a group made to see who should go first and the consensus there was Jared. However, there are pros to Nicole leaving as well. So far it’s 3 votes for Jared, 1 for Nicole, 1 for Dan with Asya/myself/Roxy deciding how it goes. ps, Nicole lost her vote at Ghost so that’s dope. I was also told by Regan that she found another idol but she told Vilma I have a double vote so yikes gjdngnfnf anyway gl noms

(SIGH)

I know this ain’t that deep but ngl, I am the swing vote this round and a reason that I didn’t want to make the smarter move in my eyes is because I didn’t want it to affect my relationship with Regan who is someone I value a lot in this game but then I had to realize that the reason I’ve left so many times and left early for that matter is because I valued other people over myself and honestly, my time is now and I need to be selfish since that is the business I need to finish. I need to learn to stand by ground a bit more because I feel like I’m doing well in this game and if I want to win, I need to be a bit more assertive and all about me. 

16.39 Why's everyone sleeping on the fact that Jared and Johnny never wanna eliminate each other It's pretty clear that they're protecting each other But nobody wants to vote Jared or Johnny out with me ughhhhh Everyone thinks it's too early I'm more concerned they will somehow slide to the end And then we all just lose against them I guess I'm not as scared to make moves because there's two idols that are on my good side but idk It's hard! 19.02 Phew okay Regan wants Jared too 20.14 I mean I understand feeling reluctant to take out the big threats but we're about to enter f8 and and if over half the people in f8 are people I think I have absolutely no chance at beating then that doesn't look too good for me If I was one of the big threats I'd want to keep a shield in as well But I'm not, and I definitely don't need 934873 shields I need to start getting rid of the big dogs 20.48 I'm actually not 100% sure whether it would be smarter to take out Jared / Nicole now but I find Jared so much more intimidating My only concern is Asya/Nicole/Dan/Johnny/someone somehow coming together if we take out Jared now. But I think it would be semi easy to convince people to vote out Johnny even if that group tried to take the control. Plus I know Roxy is pretty determined to get rid of Dan. I hope I'll be able to slide through even if we take out Jared now. It's just that I'm not very close to Nicole at all so I don't know if she has other connections besides Jared, Dan and Asya. 2.14 I still think we're gonna go after Jared tonight but there's been a bit of messiness going on and you never know what's gonna happen during these two hours before tribal so we shall see. OH I think I forgot to tell but I got the idol clue with my mani-pedi and shared an altered version of it with practically everyone (ok not really but almost) but I soon realized I didn't alter it quite enough. I got lucky none of the guys found it though, because I definitely didn't want any of them to get that power. BUT Regan found it instead and she's at least convincing me she would use it to protect me too if needed, but I'm not absolutely convinced of that yet. I'm pretty content with her having it though, because I think we have similar interests going forward in the game and I wouldn't mind going all the way with her. Plus two idols in my possession would have felt like a bit too much hahaha. I don't deserve that much luck, I already got saved from death thanks to a host influencing a pre merge tribal for fucks sake.

Another round of me sucking at confessionals, so i'll give the long story short 1. regan made a chat with the five people on our side, excluding myself, to talk about the pros and cons of getting out jared vs nicole, bc regan thinks i cant be trust and im going to run everything to jared? okay cool 2. After me spending the entire day to help jared and nicole, jared further sinks himself by telling dan that he wants to go for me or regan, and then he's telling me that he wants to go for dan, and he's trying too fucking hard to deflect attention off of himself, which is such a mood 3. This group of five decided that jared has to go 4. Regan is lying straight to my face, when I've told her I'd be flexible with the vote and do what our group wanted to do, but regan wants to be EXTRA instead and lie to me...... im watching you sissy 4. Augusto had this plan to get me him roxy asya (tbh i had the same idea, but it came out of his mouth, he can get the credit) to not vote out jared, but instead vote out nicole bc nicole is less threatening, thus more detrimental to our long term games since we feel like we have no chance at having nicole's support, when nicole is more likely going to work with dan or regan instead of myself augusto or roxy, and if jared continues down this path, he's likely going to shoot himself in the foot AGAIN in a future round, so this isn't an awful idea, and I hope it works.. If this works, another big round for ol man johnny man and it helps me position myself better within the tribe. bring it on :)

This round is exactly why someone with a panic disorder should NOT PLAY TUMBLR SURVIVOR. I literally feel like I'm going to puke this round. I'm thinking the vote is gonna be 6-3 tonight against Jared, but I'm just really unsure. I feel like I'm def getting the 3. I just feel like this game has been a fucking shit show the last few rounds and no one has gotten to see it mainly because people just frantically message in PMs instead of alliance chats, or to the VL. I think this cast is iconic, and honestly if I get sent to jury, I'm literally so proud of the improvement I've made in tumblr survivor. Obviously, I want to win, but so many people left deserve it, so as long as some bump on the log like Roxy or Asya don't win I'm cool as a cucumber :~) I am 10 seconds away from kermitting tho, so see y'all later.

JARED IS SO DUMB Yes i know Johnny is protecting you none of us are that dumb to think otherwise Secondly I have the merge idol. He doesn't stop claiming you have it you ho.

July 17 Dancitron Movie Night - Sing

Swoop and Tarantulas got in a small kerfuffle and Prowl sent a flying kick at Swoop, and honestly Prowl jumping into a fight with a Dinobot is easily the dumbest thing he’s done all month.

Soundwave, Tarantulas and Prowl hung out after movie night was over. The contents of said hangout are still being roleplayed out and the chatlog is forthcoming. Highlights of what IS included in this log: Tarantulas has promised to capture a bunch of cephalopods for Soundwave, Bevel, and Prowl to meet. (Prowl doesn’t really care about meeting them all that much, but he decided to come along anyway so that Soundwave gets to meet three more species.)

ItsyBitsySpyers 7:48 pm *Soundwave settles in on his usual spot, props his legs up with one feeler, and uses the other to give himself a head massage.* Swoop 7:50 pm *scampers in smelling like a furnace* ItsyBitsySpyers 7:50 pm [[Please smoke outside.]] Swoop 7:50 pm *which isn't measurably different from how he usually smells, but much more ... immediate this time around* What? Oh! Kehehehhehheh Me Swoop not on fire it okay :> *is a stinky stinker today, be prepared to get ash on all the things* best decepticon leader 7:52 pm ((We don't have Starbuck's here, is it good? FakeProwl 7:52 pm *appears, claims h is usual spot, and then gives soundwave a vaguely semi-concerned look. why headrub?* ItsyBitsySpyers 7:52 pm [[Try to contain your smell, then. We will have other guests.]] ((idk i don't like coffee haha)) Swoop 7:52 pm ((I don't drink coffee but their hot chocolate isn't bad.)) Uhh... how?

FakeProwl 82:01 am *nods. good. wants soundwave to have A Good Time* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:01 am *Very low, very quiet hum* [[Perhaps we could see more of your lab when we are done with them?]] FakeProwl 82:01 am *a sound!!* *leans on a little more* Tarantulas 12:03 am *wavers* ...Mmmaybe. We'll see. I'm not sure what of the lab you even COULD see, safely. Best not to worry about that now though ItsyBitsySpyers 12:04 am *Now you have his attention* [[Why? What is unsafe about it?]] *Doesn't want to move and dislodge Prowl; peers around him with feeler* [[Surely there are precautions he could take.]] FakeProwl 82:05 am *usually would be peering with soundwave. can't work up the giveafuck for it.* Tarantulas 12:07 am *it occurs to him he could invite sw in holo like prowl and avoid quite a few many things that way, hm. more thoughts he'll keep to himself* Tarantulas 12:09 am Not so much for you as for everything ELSE. There would simply be so many things to take into consideration, and depending on which hallways we choose, it just - it's /complicated/ *half true* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:10 am *Considers this. Shockwave's lab moves its insides around and can be dangerous to roam unattended. Maybe the "depending on which hallways" means something like that.* *...He'd better not try to sneak off after the cephalopod meeting.* [[He understands. Just this, for now.]] [[Though if there is anything else you wish to show off, he might be curious.]] FakeProwl 82:11 am *assumes tarantulas means that a few hallways exploded and are now too dangerous to travel* Tarantulas 12:12 am Of course you would be. *he knows that curiosity well by now* *ok what. he can't not hear rihanna* ...Soundwave, are you still in charge of the playlist? ItsyBitsySpyers 12:14 am [[Why? Is there something you'd like to request?]] FakeProwl 82:14 am *... if soundwave is going to be staying after the cephalopod meeting to explore part of the lab, then it would be inappropriate for prowl to not stay as well, since he's the one who's into that stuff. which means he'll be staying longer.* *is suddenly exhausted about a social interaction he hasn't even gone to yet.* Tarantulas 12:16 am Nnnnot in particular, but I - am... questioning that song choice ItsyBitsySpyers 12:16 am *"The one who's into that stuff," as if he doesn't like learning about everything Shockwave does too* FakeProwl 82:16 am *okay, the OTHER one who's into that stuff* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:17 am [[Ah. It's against your musical tastes, then. He'll be sure to find other artists in the future.]] Tarantulas 12:17 am *hard squint, but sure, he'll... go with that* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:17 am *He knows full well what Tarantulas means and is having a bit of fun* *As can be currently heard by the continuation of a theme* FakeProwl 82:18 am *nudges Soundwave* Puppet Man is good. Similar theme, different genre than the first two. *has picked up on the theme; hasn't realized it's being used as deliberate teasing* 5th Dimension. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:18 am [[He does not know this one.]] *Immediately puts it on.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:20 am *...Vaguely uncomfortable with this one.* FakeProwl 82:20 am *well PROWL likes it* Tarantulas 12:20 am *is just going to eat, because that's always a stabilizing thing right. gonna turn his head and pop a dozen snacks in where they can't see well* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:20 am *It's good, it's just - he wouldn't have thought of it as being part of the same theme if Prowl hadn't said. His mind went somewhere else first.* [[He knows you have the snacks. You don't need to hide.]] FakeProwl 82:21 am *look on the bright side: you probably just learned something new about prowl's sex life* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:21 am *Yes. Yes, he has.* *And in that respect, he is interested. And maybe wondering if Tarantulas shares it.* FakeProwl 82:22 am *... and it's a good thing prowl isn't thinking too hard about the song right now or else HE would be uncomfortable too* Tarantulas 12:22 am *tara wasn't paying much attention to the lyrics so he's chill rn* FakeProwl 82:23 am *but he decided he liked the song before it acquired what would have been very negative connotations, so as long as he doesn't listen too hard he's safe* Tarantulas 12:26 am *well, maybe not entirely chill, he did just give an awkward twitch and laugh some as he swallowed* Hyeh, I'm - not hiding the /snacks/, that'd be silly ItsyBitsySpyers 12:26 am ((that is not the song i was remembering oop)) ItsyBitsySpyers 12:28 am [[...Ah. Do you not consume fuel in public? He apologizes.]] *Immediately withdraws the feeler* Tarantulas 12:29 am *snickers some, actually* No, not generally, but - I was considering /your/ comfort here, not mine FakeProwl 82:30 am That's good. *uncrosses one arm to pat Tarantulas's... knee? yeah, knee works.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:32 am [[It is not as....]] *Fishes around for a word. Can't find it.* [[He knows to expect the noise. It is less distracting that way.]] Tarantulas 12:34 am *nudges more into prowl at the touch, touch is good* Tarantulas 12:36 am *smol helm tilt* Hm, is it just the sound that might disorient you then? Because I was considering the entire - well. You call them mandibles, but I've more than mandibles technically FakeProwl 82:36 am *more touch? thigh. thigh touch.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:37 am [[It is both, in truth. But he should try to become accustomed to this sooner or later.]] Tarantulas 12:38 am *paw touch on thigh touch* Tarantulas 12:39 am I see. *restraining urge to click his mandibles now, heh* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:45 am [[...You are not required to, of course. You may eat in unseen peace, if you wish. He was simply - commenting. On it.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 12:47 am *Wasn't sure how much contact was permissible in this shared couch sort of situation; going to test the example set by Prowl and curl the feeler he withdrew from Tarantulas' vicinity up and around Prowl's lower leg. Maybe absently pet the armor with the tendrils.* Tarantulas 12:48 am Hyeh, not required to - ? Would you /like/ to see, then? *genuinely wasn't sure, is also very much looking at prowl too* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:49 am [[...................................Yes.]] FakeProwl 82:49 am Yes. *doesn't even know he's being looked at, he just felt like throwing that in* FakeProwl 82:51 am *shifts a bit to get a better view if tarantulas is going to—something's on his leg. glances down. hmm. puts his other hand on soundwave's thigh.* Tarantulas 12:53 am *can't help but laugh a bit at soundwave's hesitance, and shifts while they move around too* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:53 am *Fluffs the armor a bit to make more room for seam stealing and joins the watching* FakeProwl 82:54 am *not going to be as adventurous tonight, there's another person here* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:55 am *As he wishes. Soundwave's thigh armor comes with sizable gaps anyway, pff. Either way: he is, notably, pleased.*
