#jazzprowl is good i love them

[final-milf-ratchet]

Hey when ur talking about getting Prowl knocked up. Which Prowl(s) are you talking about ?

I'll be 100 percent honest with u anon I was mostly think about IDW prowl/tarantulas mutually baby trapping each other when I posted that but I also think we need way more g1 prowl getting knocked up 😤😤

TFA prowl is a runner up just cause like. Why is the TFA prowl mechpreg scene bone dry :( y'all are starving this is so sad

[somerandomcockroach]

YES. YES. YESSS. YESSSSSSS. HERE IT IS. EXACTLY THIS

Every time I read pre war JazzProwl fic 👇 this is what I see. This is where they live in my head.

[arceespinkgun]

alright I know you haven't talked about this in a while but you're pretty correct about the way jazzprowl is written usually being weird. One or both of them is always portrayed in a weird offensive way (it's either racist towards jazz, portrays prowl as an ableist stereotype, BOTH, and MORE)

I agree with this. It took me a while to think of what I could add to this and I think I'd also say: it's important for everyone to know that when I see people injecting bonus ableism into fics with these characters in them, Jazz is also normally portrayed as an ableist stereotype (racist as well as ableist)! Whenever Jazz is written as being super disruptive, lazy, and chaotic, or when he's written as super violent and scary and people use terms like "schizo" (I'm sorry but I've seen it) to describe him, these all fall into the overlap between racism and ableism. It's the same bigotry that in the real world results in Black men and boys to be deemed disruptive and violent over their peers. And I probably don't need to say it at this point, but the character Jazz has never been portrayed like this in any media, not even close. And there has also never been canon media where Jazz disrupts an ultra-rigid Prowl into changing anything about himself (and there never should be because that sucks). Hey, is now a good time to point out that in the G1 comics, as far as I can tell Prowl is just one of the many, many Autobots who are massive Blaster fans and they have nothing but positive interactions, and Blaster in those comics actually is a super disruptive, loud, angry, sometimes violent character? I mean, they have to be friends because they both hate Grimlock....

I also think something I haven't discussed as often but is equally important is that we should all be looking at canon with a critical eye as well. If you look at the way some IDW writers like James Roberts, Nick Roche, and John Barber wrote the characters, they utilized a lot of extremely problematic tropes as well. For example, I personally balk every time I see someone saying that Barber did Jazz justice, when what he did to him was make his entire story center on cops and police brutality and barely let him grow or find any community. He also decided that Jazz's backstory would be that he was a beat cop on Cybertron... I think it's bizarre for anyone to look at how Jazz has been portrayed over time and think it makes total sense for that of all things to be his backstory. I'll also just never forgive Barber for writing that issue where he had Prowl point a gun at Jazz's head to get his attention, and had Jazz making fatphobic jokes about Prowl (weird in context for SO many reasons), and also tried to resolve the issue with some kind of friendship moment despite all of that.

Roche, JRo, and Barber also knowingly took every trait Prowl had as a character before their stories—ones easy to perceive as signs of disability—and twisted them into signs of cartoonish evil (I know Barber seems to think he did not write him as a flat evil character, but he's kidding himself). Understandable meltdowns about stressful situations and injustice get turned into a running gag and scary villainy, a lack of social awareness and literal thinking get turned into the most flatly evil dialogue I've ever seen ("You can apologize later," anyone?), a drive to make everything just and fair and better for everyone gets turned into arrogance (Barber, the fact that you wrote this character saying something like, "What's morality got to do with any of this?" means you failed). I especially hate these decisions because these writers also showed a ton of favoritism towards this character. You could feel how much they LOVED making him as revolting as possible while also making sure that instead of facing reasonable consequences he'd always go through the most disturbing, traumatic, worst shit ever so there wasn't even the catharsis of fair consequences... while also giving him tons of prominence.

I say all of this because both canon and fandom works should be examined critically and that IMO it's not only a good idea to not make things worse in fanworks, but also probably a good idea to go along with the better parts of canon and not the super problematic parts.

[transingthoseformers]

About sg prowl... ough I love the fact that he seems to have he's own weird claimed territory. He runs the place like the worst kind of mafia, forcing others who stay there to pay him protection money, or he makes sure they pay in other ways.

I love the idea of territorial prowl so much tho auuughhhh the moment you step into his turf he will sniff you out. How dare you intrude on his land. He will bite first and ask questions later. But when he does ask, you better have a good reason for being there

Sg jazz is primes bodyguard iirc? Or is he something else in the idw comics? Either way though, being a bodyguard makes him another kind of territorial. He doesn't let anyone near his charge and also doesn't let anyone near him. Any servos within reach of him or Prime are free game. He will bite.

He and Prowl would fight if they met. They both cross each other's lines in terms of what they are protective and territorial about. To Prowl there's a wild animal in his backyard. To Jazz someone has the audacity to even look at him.

They tear into each other and rip each other apart- but, later, once they come to some kind of mutual understanding, once they form a treaty of sorts, knowing they can both protect and have what they want at the same time, they start to work together.

Jazz can guard Prowl whilst Prowl watches his territory. Sometimes he goes out to do the dirty work for Prowl. They're always a hair away from fighting each other again, but they live with it. It works. And it's kind of exciting.

They both bite

Honestly I'm down for biting at every opportunity

ENEMIES/RIVALS TO LOVERS MY BELOVED BELOVED

Except it's evil enemies to evil lovers

Love that they have a written treaty

Apparently, his brother Ricochet is also one of Optimus's bodyguards, which makes me think about Ricochet taking one look at these two and going "how could I Not ship it??"

Prowl doesn't let many mecha in on his territory, but Jazz... Jazz he does.

Jazz does not take kindly to autobot traitors, but Prowl... Prowl he does.

I need them to kiss, the kind of kiss that muffles an insult or an argument. The kind of kiss that's like "shut the fuck up, loser~"

oughhhhh I'm thinking about them after Optimus dies too because that's a thing that happens in one or so of the shattered glass comic series. Because, after Optimus, Goldbug, Rodimus, and Ultra Magnus die... Prowl remains. And his control on Cybertron probably spreads. And, based on what I'm seeing, Jazz possibly survived too.

Evil jazzprowl confirmed /jk

[beemochi-art]

OMG YOU DRAW DRATCHET?

I've only ever seen content of jazz jazzprowl and Kilomegs(WHICH I LOVE BTW) but I love the Dratchet art, I'd love to hear more on them in your au if you're cool to share

DRATCHET IS IN MY AU. I couldn’t resist. They are both old! But u can find love at any age.(Like I know drift was old in MTMTE but still now he just looks it.) sure! I’ll rant about them!

Drift was a warrior from the crystal city. Until he was dishonored was kicked out because he refused to kill those could couldn’t fight back on the Primes behalf. He travelled to kaon where he fought other warriors and swore revenge on his predecessors. He came across a young bot who wasn’t going to last long in kaon. He trained him and megatron rose to the top. And the decepticons came to power he would have his revenge but it didn’t feel as good as he thought it would. Did raising being Megatron’s mentor make him soft?

Eventually he switched sides. He currently works with an autobot group called the wreckers.

Ratchet has been a medic for Sentinel before he was Optimus medic. He had to obey Sentinel every command without so much as wrinkling his nose. He knew his skill could be better used else where. Ratchet actually liked helping people in need. But as he climb the medical ranks, that seemed more and more impossible.

So Ratchet would sneak to Kaon. He could go off the raider for a bit and almost everyone needed some type of medical attention. He just wanted to heal people. Free of charge. Tho not everyone in Kaon was grateful. Ratchet is tough but he’s not Kaon tough. Before he got ripped to shreds by someone that was mad he was there, a certain Ronan saved him.

They went back to Drift’s residence (outside of the city.) and Ratchet thanked him by giving drift a full check up. Unsurprisingly Ratchet found many things wrong with him, Drift is a medical nightmare. There was too much too be done in a day, that’s fine, more excuses to come back. The two clicked, Ratchet and Drift exchange kisses in between maintenance. Drift didn’t realize how much he liked getting touched by Ratchet. (He usually hates everyone.)

However when Optimus became a prime Ratchet had much more to focus on. Trying to make sure Op stays as healthy as he can and attempting to make things more comfortable for him. He didn’t get to see Drift, he assumed he probably never would. He would only go back to Kaon when the Primes were destroying it. All Ratchet could do is grit his teeth and look away.

Many many years later would they meet again on earth. Ratchet is more irritated and Drift is less. They balance each other out. Drift is good because he is slowly helping him move out of the mindset of being a servant of a Primes. Ratchet is slowly relaxing more.

[bloominglegumes]

Dude your art is so good!! I love your human jazz prowl lesbians they are so warm and snuggly. I like how prowl is so stern and imposing, but still Soft. They are both so hot.

You really capture the opposite attract dynamic super well. They feel like they compliment each other, and in the prequel drawings I can feel their dynamic growing. You are really good at making them mesh together well.

Honestly seeing your art has been a highlight recently. Thanks for sharing!!

awwhdhs thank you so much!!! glad you enjoy my silly little drawings <3

and yes oml my favourite thing about the idea of jazzprowl is how they have such opposing personalities, but beneath the surface they're both the same kind of wacko ykyk,, they're really gripping my brain uhgh

[peggingprowl]

hiiiii...happy Valentine's Day!! im here with a blurb request: Jazzprowl with the prompt of "Use your words" I love them, so much...🥺

A GOOD FIRST PROMPT. LETS GO.

Jazz whines as he feels Prowl, yet again, teasingly brush against his blinking node. Prowl, the cruel, unyielding fragger he is, had been teasing him for what felt like hours. He bucks, desperate for more friction.

"Ah," Prowl tuts, pulling his servo away, "You know the rules. Use your words, Jazz."

"Prowl, please," begs, static leaving his voice, "I need you!"

Prowl caresses his thigh. "Need me to what?"

He bucks again, the small touch like fire to his sensor net. "I need you inside me!" he yells, barely intelligible through the static.

Prowl smiles fondly. "As you ask," he murmurs.

[puraiuddo]

1/3 HI don't mind me lured back towards tumblr for JP -- it was cool seeing your rec include some older and non-ao3 fics, both because those fics are FUN and because I'm excited someone else has gone down those strange trails haha

2/3 Your list is similar to mine! enough thaaaat ok ok if you're already aware of these and chose not to feature them that's 100% valid and I'm sorry to presume, but given that ffn tf is rough to search, here's a few maybe you haven't seen and might enjoy reading? 3/3 In length order, with ffnet url endings: /s/2980742/1/Just-the-Cat-s-Meow (9k). /s/7188310/1/Yellow-Ribbon (50k) /s/9586024/31/Caro-Transmutata-Metallo (168k actually a "best friends" one iirc, also it's been like 10 years since I've fully read it, so it's ???)

lolololol s'all good! you got good taste in fics!!

Thank you for thinking of me!!

Also I couldn't help but laugh at "strange trails" being used in ref to ffn lmaooooooo. I first started reading fanfics on deviantart and then some wattpad. So ffn was the ordinary path after that. Now of course, I read fanfics on ao3 like everyone else, but when I've banged through all the fics in the pairing or topics I'm looking for, ffn's the natural choice after that lol. But now that ppl are starting on the internet with ao3, it's definitely leaving so many wonderful ffn fics in the dust which is super sad... Recently I've been using FicHub to download all the ones I really love so when ffn burns at least those won't be lost.

Long winded rant on ffn aside...... (￣▽ ￣˵)ゞ

in terms of the fics you linked... //barely holds off on exploding into a hundred pieces in a good way// OK SO... THERE'S BEEN THIS SCENE STUCK IN MY BRAIN... AND I COULD NOT REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS FROM OR HOW TO FIND IT. I AM QUITE CONFIDENT YOU HAVE HANDED IT TO ME IN YELLOW RIBBON. IF SO, I OWE YOU A DEBT OF GRATITUDE. 🫡

Now I really, really have to read it.

edit: It wasn’t it, fam. 😔

As for the other 2, I have Just the Cat's Meow in my ffn bookmarks! It was a cute fic, I'm just not sure I'd call it a JazzProwl fic I guess? 🤔 I do so love jazz being an angel of benevolent chaos tho, but I'm not so sure anything else about it like really especially stuck out to me? I guess I go for the worldbuilding or eerie fics more than anything lol. If there's something for me to overanalyze, I'm there.👌🏼

I'm also certainly gonna have to check out Caro Transmutata Metallo, though! It does sound awfully familiar so I may have saved a link for it somewhere with the intention to go read it later, but then never did... rip. Not sure about its standing on the JP list if it's Gen, but I'm looking forward to reading it regardless!

Thank you for your recs!!

[novafire-is-thinking]

BYF / BYI

(because this post is meant to be a road sign and not a solid wall like a DNI post)

Welcome, potential friends and foes, to my space station of a Tumblr.

You can call me Novafire, or Nova for short.

I question the effectiveness of long intro posts, so here’s a summary:

My way of navigating life on this site aligns pretty well with True Neutral. But in true neutral fashion, it’s not a strict code I adhere to. It just means:

My own interests take priority, but I try to be kind as it makes things easier for everyone involved.

I have the courage of an ostrich mixed with the wits and confidence of a crow. (i.e. I suffer from a lack of conviction in all but a handful of things, but I’m willing to learn.)

I tend to evaluate things on a case-by-case basis.

I will not bite unless I see the need for preemptive action or if someone bites first. And even then, I’m more likely to ignore stuff since I just can’t be bothered to retaliate.

More details below:

What to expect:

I scan and monitor every Tumblr that follows me until I’ve gotten a good read on them. Blank blogs are fine as long as I can see they’ve either followed other TF accounts or have liked+reblogged TF content recently.

My blog is SFW for the most part, but NSFW accounts are free to follow and interact.

I rarely follow accounts that aren’t primarily Transformers-focused, but I reblog from anywhere and everywhere.

Communication:

I use tone tags for convenience, but they’re not necessary if someone wants to interact with me.

My inbox is open, but I disable anonymous asks every now and then when I expect issues.

DMs are open, but my response time varies depending on whether or not my proverbial stars have aligned and how well I know someone.

Please, no venting to me without warning. I may know a lot about the human mind and psychological and social dynamics, but I have no desire to play armchair therapist.

Triggers and how I accomodate:

If you need something tagged, let me know :) Anything asked of me earnestly will be granted.

I have very few triggers myself, and the ones I do have don’t require mentioning since I just scroll past stuff that bothers me.

If I reblog something from someone, it doesn’t mean I’m married to them. 95% of the time I reblog, I don’t consider the source. To me, good content is good content. However, if you alert me to something and respectfully request that I not reblog from a particular user, I will comply since I don’t want issues.

My relationship with my followers:

I am not responsible for the behavior of my followers. I carefully consider what I say so as not to incite drama or allow for my words to be taken out of context. However, I’m not perfect and my followers have wills of their own.

I am not responsible for anything any of my followers reblog on your posts. Do not expect me to moderate this.

Unlike some around these parts, I do not consider there to be such a thing as “Nova Nation” or anything along those lines. My followers are not my disciples, even jokingly. They are not necessarily a direct reflection of me or my views.

My relationship with characters:

If you see me kinning a character you’d consider problematic, please don’t jump to conclusions. More than likely, there are just one or several isolated traits I relate to.

I admit I have a fascination with and a love for IDW Prowl. However, please note that I do not consider him to be a ��good person.” I just think the way his mind works is really interesting. And no, I’m not a JazzProwl or TaraProwl shipper.

I do not believe in excessive woobification of characters without acknowledgment of their faults, especially those like IDW Prowl. Yes, I want to wrap him in a blanket. No, I’m not blind to the horrors he’s committed.

I avoid character “tribalism” as much as possible. When it comes to any character, I will never shove my opinions down another’s throat, but I will absolutely provide thoroughly considered opinions in a controlled way.

I’m not a hardcore shipper myself, but I have a select few I like. I also respect most other ships out there.

Miscellaneous:

I make spam posting a habit. I’ll disappear for half a day to three days and then appear out of nowhere to drop 20+ reblogs at once.

I talk in the tags. A lot. :P

Spam likes and reblogs are more than welcome.

Feel free to tag me in stuff at any time! There’s no need to wait until we’re mutuals.

If you tag me in something and I don’t acknowledge it within a couple of days, please DM me. Tumblr is a stupid cat that likes to eat tags and reblogs. >:(

This is where you’ll find my playlists, moodboards, character ref collection, etc.

[margoshamangolord]

What’s ur favorite TFA ship(s)? :D (I’m still watching so idk all the ships-)

Ohhhh!!! I don't have much but i have some:33 (spoilers for autoboot camp episode and everything after it, beware!)

My number one favs are definitely bulkbee and longbee/shockbee!! I have some more too.I'm still trying to digest tfa and rewatching some episodes, but my favourite episode is definitely autoboot camp, because it has a lot of meaningful interactions between characters

I like bulkbee because it's very cute :33 literally both from romantic and platonic standpoints, they kind of add more to each other's characters. They are very different, but they compare in a very fulfilling way, they complete each other's development as people, and it makes me very happy. They both deserve to be loved and can give it to eachother because they know eachother well, went through a lot together and cemented their relationship. Also bee naps on him no objections

Longbee, on the other hand, is more dramatic/tragic. I would absolutely love to see them be cute together, go on dates in barracks, have first kisses or make presents for each other awkwardly. I once saw a very cute first date fic with them! But the fact of shockwave's mission and the fact that he encouraged bee and gave him affirmation he needed only to complete his plan is destroying. He doesn't belong in autobot ranks. He fakes a whole self. He's far from those he can trust. Does he feel anything for bumblebee? Maybe yes, maybe not. Maybe he can kind of relate to him, as bumblebee was bullied in the autoboot camp and had to fake coolness just to fit in with the others, and shockwave had to fake his autobot morales. Maybe he's disgusted by having to make expressions for bumblebee. Maybe he wants to take him to be a decepticon to stay with him. We don't know what's in his head. I love him

I have some others!! i like prowlbee and prowlbulk, for all those feelings, and i also need the prowlbulkbee poly to be appreciated more because it's so nice and cozy,, also jazzprowl because of their nice interactions and comfort!!

I don't really have any for decepticons. Maybe i like megashock for the drama and beauty? Maybe i like blitznut for their silliness? Tbh i needed more inside interactions for the cons

Tfa is heavier on cross-fraction ships imo. Optimus/blackarachnia is very sad for me, as well as ruining sentinel's relationship with op (from rom or plat standpoint, you choose). Past sentioplita is interesting, I don't go here much though. Also I'm intrigued by lockprowl but not in a rom/plat sense, more in an enemy and revenge and sadness sense

I'm not really into more popular ships here (shockblurr, blitzbee, megop) but i respect them. I just don't really get the dynamics for them as they didn't have much good interactions to me and I'm not sure about how they are portrayed in fan content, but i can enjoy them

And finally. megadac. because it's fucking insane it's so gross and sad and bitter I'm sneezing all over the screen. it's very uncomfortable that's why it intrigues me. They make me cry and cough they need to go to couple counselling or divorce NOW

I may have forgot some and people can send me asks if they have more!! I'd like to hear that

[final-milf-ratchet]

Hey. I love TFA Prowl. Jazz definitely needs to pump him full of cum until he's knocked up.. and then more, because no way he's leaving Prowl needy and wanting after. Bonus points since he gets to lick, suck and bite at Prowl's boobs as he pumps him full..

G1 ? G1 is just. So sweet, he'd definitely be happy knocked up as well..

LISTEN. Idw Prowl and Tarantulas baby trapping each other is the funniest thing ever reading that took me OUT

TFA prowl voted most likely to get knocked up fucking in the woods 3 years running ☺️

Anyway yeah once jazz and him have their whole ~thing~ going on I think they sneak out into the woods for 'meditation' and fuck like rabbits. Of course, since it's 'au naturale', it's only a matter of time until their meditation sessions leave prowl with bit of a problem. Or a bitty of a problem. Ba dum tis!

And yeah, g1 prowl would just be so sweet and happy about having a sparkling 🥹 I love g1 prowl he's my little guy. G1 jazzprowl especially is good.

The fic only has one chapter but this fic lives in my head rent free for g1 prowl. If anyone has any g1 prowl fic recs pls send them my way I love him.

Anywho. The taraprowl mutual baby trapping fic that only exists in my head.

Prowl pov: 'if I get pregnant, I'll have more control over him and he can't betray or leave me"

Tarantulas pov: "if I get him pregnant he can't leave me"

And they're both doing crazy shit to get prowl pregnant. Ie, prowl pokes holes in the condoms and then tarantulas refuses to pull out when it breaks. Prowl starts drinking additives that are supposed to help with fertility, tarantulas uses science to track when prowls spark is more fertile. Crazy shit that they do not communicate to each other at ALL.

And then Prowl does finally get pregnant with springer. And now they've got this whole weird domestic partner ship going on bc tarantulas needs to provide transfluid for the bitty obviously so prowl has to stick around more often. Just for springers sake. Not because prowl cares or anything. Baka.

[mychlapci]

for the character ask game i've got three for you!

standford pines

five pebbles

prowl (idw specifically)

i've been trying to get to this all morning but i had to go to the grocery storeeeee. anyways...

Ford... the character of all time...

How I feel about this character

Normal. Obviously. Very normal. But seriously, he was one of my favourite gravity falls characters, i feel like he's very much misunderstood by the fandom, either deeply villanized or has his reletable flaws whittled down to be more palatable. there is so much wrong with him to explore. alas, i am not smart enough to dig as deep

All the people I ship romantically with this character

no one. no one at all. In all seriousness, i was never that much of a fiddauthor fan, but i've read some good fanfics of them, so that counts i suppose

My non-romantic OTP for this character

the Stan twins duo, of course. Although I really enjoy to imagine the dynamic Ford and Mabel could've had

My unpopular opinion about this character

I think he was actually quite reletable and not to have a kin moment or anything, but I saw a lot of myself in his flaws, so I can't really imagine why someone wouldn't sympathize with him.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

canon old man birth Ford and Mabel bonding episode!!!!! PLEASE

Pebbles, my good friend Pebbles... i have not played much nor have I really done a deep dive into the lore yet, so forgive me if I don't have much to say

How I feel about this character

stinky rude little guy. i enjoy it very much. as i said, i'm not up to date on the lore, but i know he's kind of having a fucked up time and i love me a man in peril.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

not well-versed enough in the lore to ship him with anyone. i can't even imagine who. people have probably found a way. god i hope he's ship-elligible, because if there is a reason why he wouldn't be... then i have to go delete some drawings

My non-romantic OTP for this character

pebbi x the spear i throw at his head

My unpopular opinion about ths character

Not many. Though I've noticed in let's plays that many people straight up hate him with with a lot of vigour, I think they should give him a break

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

I don't know. Perhaps more interaction? although i wouldn't want to actually travel through unfortunate development more times than once, tbh... I think the game utilizes him well. AND you can throw shit at him, so that's all i need to amuse myself

Proooowl!!! baby girl. i am gonna sound so stupid here. I am not good with. remembering what happened in the comics.

How I feel about this character

He's an asshole. And I love him.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

I mean... everyone knows what i'm all about, as long as that robot's holes are full, i'm game. I don't quite get jazzprowl in its entirety, but I find it fun and compelling enough so I suppose I'll go with that. And I've been a fan of prowlop lately, I think he an Optimus could have a really fucked up dynamic together. Constructiprowl is a favourite of mine. And I have a little guilty pleasure spot here just for Prowl/Fort Max

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Not quite sure, I think he would be extremely fun to pair with anyone just because he's such a dick and no one likes him. I honestly think that a chapter dedicated to him and Rodimus getting into shenanigans would be hilarious

My unpopular opinion about this character

Not sure if this is necessarily me going against the popular opinions, perhaps just me against the expectations i had when i heard everyone else talk about him, but... I don't think he's actually as evil and twisted as people make him out to be? he's an asshole, yes, but I don't think he's actually a heartless bastard incapable of not feeling guilty for his actions, as i've seen him portrayed sometimes. if anything, guilt eats away at him so much that he's doing everything he can to stay in control of it. if he keeps stubbornly assuring himself that he did what had to be done, he'll manage to stay sane. i don't know. re-reading that, it sounds stupid as hell but i don't have anything else to say so i can't delete that....

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

all that said, i think some people should have punched him a little bit harder

[pajamadragon]

Do you have favourite transformers ships?

Before I answer this, I would like to make a point of "the relationships characters may have in canon is nebulous, there are many differences between continuities, and what one writer sees as familial, another may see as romantic". I'm fine with most interpretations, and I don't get grossed out by reading different interpretations that may not agree with my own personal headcanons. While I do have ships I try to avoid because their relationship in canon is unhealthy/toxic, most characters without a whole bunch of canonical interactions are likely to at least be moderately interesting to me, mostly on the strength of the writer's characterization.

Like over half of the entire fandom, I like JazzProwl like the basic normie I am XD also like it when they add a third. I've enjoyed JazzProwlBarricade, JazzProwlSoundwave, JazzProwlBlaster... (continued ad nauseum)

I actually really like OPStar (Optimus/Starscream). Like,

A LOT

I also like Ratchet/Soundwave, Barricade/Soundwave, Amica flavored Heatwave and Chase (Rescue Bots is PEAK), I've read good Prowl/Smokescreen, Sideswipe/Prowl/Sunstreaker, Bluestreak/Sunstreaker, I am a BIG Silverbolt/Blackarachnia girlie (saying a canon ship may be cheap BUT I LOVE THEM), Primal/Dinobot is a masterpiece and I will go down with that ship, I've seen a few compelling Prowl/Starscream fics, I like Cosmos with either Soundwave and Blast Off because Cosmos deserves to be the world's most sexy transformer who's successfully seduced several decepticons.

Basically, to summarize, the ships I rate above ALL others are probably JazzProwl, OpStar, and Amica Heatwave and Chase. I just like a whole bunch of others XD (Listen tho, if y'all wanna come to me with your off the wall, crazy, can't get anyone else to ship it, "please don't let me be the only one who ships this PLEASE" crackship, I am a place of no judgement. All crazy ships are welcome here. I ship Rung/Nightbeat and Prowl/Eject. Tell me your weird crackships, I may very well add them to my hoard.

[transingthoseformers]

Opinion on some good ol fashioned Prowl/Jazz?

It's a cute ship, I've seen a lot of good fics of it and they're the primary people I ship them with. It's got a story behind how it became popular (I think something to do with the marvel comics?), Though I admit at times I take it for granted

It's a nice ship, I like it... But I don't LOVE it, y'know? It's not my otp, but I can see why it's other people's and that's great for them. But I feel like after all this time it's lost that spark of inspiration earlier jazzprowl fics seem to have. But who knows, always accept the possibility of me being wrong on things

[jariktig]

Hiiii! For the love your fandom ask game 1, 4, 7 and 20 :3

Hi!

list 3 positive things about your current fandom(s)

Done this before, but I should be able to do three new ones:

(a) The sheer emotional range that so many of the writers and artists can generate (and the fact that the source material gives them that space);

(b) The way that the people who create the canon interact with the fans. Again, maybe this is normal to lots of fandoms, but (for example) I can't get over Peter Cullen actually signing someone's "booby trap that really catches boobies" bra - and then setting boundaries for the future in the kindest, firmest possible way;

(c) I think you said this, or a version of it, but the skill of the artists. It's not just that they draw incredibly detailed robots in complex poses, it's that lots of them cover the different styles of all the different continuities, and the way they manage to present emotional expression in people with part or none of their faces on display.

4. say something nice about a ship you don't ship (it can be another ship in your fandom, a mutual's OTP, etc)

This is a popular one, isn't it? Well, all of SkyStar, JazzProwl, StarOp are pretty beloved, so one of the most important things about them is that they inspire a lot of people and make even more extremely happy, and that is an unalloyed good in the world.

7. your favorite tropes to read/write/draw

Reading: Miscommunication/cultural differences/aliens being alien (and isn't there a lot of room for that in TF?); enemies to friends/lovers and negotiating through the differences (likewise); parenting done well (is that a trope? Anyway I'm having it); arranged marriage or near-equivalent.

Writing: I've not actually finished a lot yet, but one thing that keeps coming up in my drafts is external viewpoint.

Drawing: I can draw nothing but the Decepticon symbol, and I'm not sure that comes with tropes really.

Viewing (wasn't there, but I feel I should complete the set: dance, and formal compositions with something going on beneath the surface, and complicated stuff with ropes and wires. Oh, and I'm very fond of propaganda posters.

20. your very first fandom!

Mythology, various, if that counts - that was my small-child obsession before there was Transformers. After 1984 - Transformers first, last and in between...

Sunny Simp Anon here!

I had ordered the zine when preorders first started and when I saw that you were in the zine many months later i got very excited!!

I took a pic and sent it to Smooch and shared the rest of the art with them and their friends and we loved it all and I love what you did with Jazz ans Prowl!!

The officiator: Any one object?

Prowl: *silently glaring*

Jazz: *had a cannon* :D

Also they look so good and I want to frame your art on my wall but I cant because it’s in a book but it’s so pretty and I love it and i want to hug it but it’s paper and akskdldkdk

Many conflict here you see

Also personal update myself, I probably didn’t do good on one of my exams today because i forgot there was an exam and I didn’t have my book and it was open book and so like, i didn’t do good but it is what it is

Also I want to hold your sideswipe so much, he is such a pretty boi and when he pops up he overtakes Sunny for a minute and is the star of the show and he knows he’s a pretty boi and will use it

I want to hold him so badly and domestic soft thoughts are my enemy cause I want them to be happy and heal from their pain and they are twins and they know each other the best and they went through hell and back and deserve good things!!!

Let Sunny become a famous artist again, let Sideswipe help with selling his brother’s paintings and also maybe own a lil bar and stuff also Bob being his cute self and get doted on and Sunny also maybe makes vent arts and let out his pain

I do personally headcanon that Sunny makes some vent arts but keeps some of them secret cause he doesn’t want to worry Sides too much with how he feels and it helped to just draw it out

Also me and my friends in the JazzProwl discord server made a lil meme thing into a bug angsty au and then we talked about the future after they mostly heal and it was from dark and angsty and stuff to more fluffy but still some angst(it’s with the Elite trine but i am gonna ask if we wanna include other ships and other lil stories besides the elite trine’s)

Anyways! I hope to be in your inbox again soon but some smaller things jn my life came up that needed my attention so I had to focus on those for a lil bit but i will return

-Sunny Simp Anon💛

Oh! You ordered a Monochromatic zine?

That's so exciting! I just got mine a few days ago~ I'm so happy to hear that you like my piece! I was really nervous about it because it was kinda spoofy compared to the others. It's pretty silly even by my normal standards hehe As far as my digital work goes, Sideswipe has been given so much love lately. It's great that his "pretty boi" status has been recognized. I purposefully designed him to look more friendly and open, so if he's making you think soft domestic things then I have done my job correctly hehe. On the subject of Sunstreaker's art habits, I think all artists make vent pieces at some point, writers and other creative mediums too (I know I do). So Sunny does probably have some pieces squirreled away here and there, I agree. I'm glad you're having fun on the JazzProwl server, and hope you get through whatever requires your attention now.

Don't rush through anything, I will still be here when you get done hehe.
