I think Tumblr is finally ready...
To meet the Disastrine!
Here are my three Seeker bbys!!! Stereo, Carl and Lightning! They are the most incompetent, least Decepticon-like trio of Decepticons to ever walk the ranks.
! Do not use or repost my art and characters without permission !
They're all on the younger side ( Young adults ) for Cybertronians, and their utter incompetence lands them far from any real action.
Honestly, nobody knows how they still even function...
Vicarly ;
Better known as Carl, is honestly and truly... Just a guy.
Low-key just a random dude. He's hard working and tries his best, follows orders to a T, buuut... Yeah. Can't even pull off particularly cool seeker-like flight maneuvers. Loser.
Least respectable Trineleader of all time.
Lightningrod ;
Outlier!
Lightning is extremely conductive, even for Cybertronian standards. She essentially attracts lightning when in flight, and is able to redirect that energy into a powerful blast once hit... Buuuut its success rate and strength is quite unreliable. The constant strikes also tend to damage her audials and disturb whoever flies near her.
Lightning has authority issues and often uses her poor hearing as an excuse to disobey orders. Extremely chaotic and impulsive at first sight, though her actions usually do have a logic behind them, and a sound one at that.
Doesn't seem all too committed to the Decepticon cause, either...
Her trinemates keep her in check.
Stereo Hurricane ;
Outlier!
Stereo is sensitive to various frequencies, and can eavesdrop into them with a few adjustments of his receptors. It would be an extremely useful ability for espionage and intel gathering... But he can't control it for slag.
Whether he'll tune in to a top secret Autobot Comm line or some radio blasting Earth pop music is anyone's guess. Has been wrong so often that everyone just regards the information he supposedly had as unreliable.
The amount of noise in his processor also makes Stereo extremely spacey and kind of oblivious to the world around him.

Thinking about Orchid and her connection to my take on Gender (because this was meant to be about her and the Crew but it just devolved into a character analysis kinda??? More trauma-dumping maybe???) This is very much an oc/personal rant so feel free to ignore it 🫡
So, Orchid started off as a character I didn't really think much of (hear me out this is going to be relevant) because I wanted to add a 'girl' character but didn't know what to *do* with her, y'know? She was always going to be the strongest one there, she had the odds stacked in her favor with her parents. She was always going to be the gloomy side-character to match Reset's energy. But I think she's gone through every stage of Generic Woman I could possibly find.
At first she was angry and abrasive (think Fell!Sans) where every other word was a curse and she was likely to throw the first punch then laugh as she kicks her enemy while they're down. This was when Reset was a cartoonishly self-centered villain whose goal was simply to prove others wrong. Then Orchid became a sort of sisterly figure. This was short-lived, but she was the one comforting people who Reset would torment, but would ultimately follow his orders, because at this point he was actually a danger and sadistic. And then there was the phase where the story mellowed out and she became the token Goth Girl who, yes she was strong, but was heavy on the 'whatever' energy. Then there was her Era of deep self-loathing and anxiety about her worth that held her back and made her a much more timid and meek character who would only lash out on occasion.
Now, Orchid is the best of those iterations I've written yet. She's calm, level-headed, and a natural leader. Her father raised those traits into her. But she's very reactive, and can be silly, and when she's comfortable it's likely that air of importance transforms into something more comfortable and familiar. She laughs loudly and grins wide, she likes loud video-games but loves to read in the quiet. She's extremely disciplined, and normally no one can get through her tough exterior besides her best friend, Reset. She does what she does for her own enjoyment, sure, but she's thought of every angle and makes her choice to help Reset and control the others with her whole chest. She still worries she won't live up to her invisible expectations, and that and her loyalty are her two driving forces.
I know that Orchid is important to me because she's the longest-running female oc I've had. I have a rough relationship with womanhood/girlhood and I know looking back that Orchid recieved every ounce of my distaste for being a woman that I could shovel into her. That never made her less of a character, she was actually always one of my favorites, and rarely was she a 'punching bag oc'. I just... projected onto her a lot. And she's a good sign of how I've learned who I am. I've decided that my own femininity is something I could live without. I'd rather not associate myself with it, and I'd like to leave it in my past, focusing on a future where I'm not tied down with any gender roles or expectations. That won't happen, but I've come to terms with it myself. Orchid though? I figured out through her that I don't have to hate women characters. My own distaste for my circumstances doesn't mean I have to push it onto my characters (on God I've never expressed anything rude to actual people, that'd be rude as hell and uncalled for, but I have a bad habit of disliking fictional women in media). So, Orchid is a well-roubded character finally. She has motivations abd goals and a *lot* more depth than I ever expected her to. She's happy with being a woman, she's content. She's not treated differently for it in unfair ways by those she cares about, so she doesn't mind it. She likes to wear pretty outfits and lets Reset add bows to her ribbons. She doesn't let being a woman hold her back in the slightest.
So, yeah. Orchid is one of my babies. If I ever leave this Fandom behind for good, she's one that's coming with (Ichor, Orchid, and Pretender all have human designs I can use elsewhere lol-) but in the meantime I'll just rotate her around in my brain for a while longer.
If I'm right, she's been with me for nearly 5-6 years and I went through a *lot* with her as an outlet. So, she's kinda just like an old stuffed animal. A lil ripped, matted fur, maybe a stain or two, but there's a story there and that makes it important beyond belief.

What happened in yorg mind to say that#…#Telepath dani au <- telepath dani is in deniallllllll
Just- im sorry i write it in spanish
Unbetad, i don't want to reread this one, Based on this @whatwepostintheshadows AU and THIS
Dani sale de la sala de prensa con un dolor de cabeza.
Los pensamientos mismos son extraños (lo sabría, ha podido leer la mente de la gente casi toda su vida). En su mayoría palabras que rebotan de un lado a otro, ideas que se forman y se deshacen con casi la misma rapidez.
A veces vienen con imágenes vagas, como dibujos amorfos que pasan demasiado rápido para que Dani pueda intentar darles sentido, apenas una idea a medio formar la mayor parte del tiempo. A menos que sea un pensamiento recurrente, es realmente difícil formar una imagen mental lo suficientemente clara para que él pueda descifrar en los pocos momentos que la mente humana puede centrarse en un tema específico antes de ramificarse. Incluso si ahora puede bloquear su mente y despejar cualquier pensamiento ajeno, a veces se siente tan abrumado que no puede hacerlo.
Como hoy.
Tiene un sistema. La mente de Lorenzo siempre es un buen lugar donde refugiarse cuando se siente demasiado abrumado por sus propias emociones y las de todo el mundo. El otro tiene una forma particular de ver el mundo, pensando en líneas de carrera de una forma tan específica (tan Jorge) que Dani podía seguir. No había cambiado en todos los años que llevan compitiendo al lado del otro.
Los pensamientos de Lorenzo eran un factor conocido, cómodo, incluso si sus palabras eran-
No le importa lo que Jorge o cualquiera diga, ha aprendido hace mucho tiempo a no pasar mucho tiempo repasando las palabras de la gente, siempre mintiendo de dientes para fuera de una forma que le ponía de los nervios cuando era pequeño, pero que ahora de adulto ha aprendido que es solo parte del curso de la vida.
Lorenzo en particular tenía esto de decir exactamente lo que quería decir, con palabras que parecían salir de la nada. Nunca acordes a sus pensamientos, pero demasiado deliberadas para ser algo más que un discurso ensayado frente a un espejo.
No lo dejaría pasar para alguien como él.
Hay tres verdades en el mundo: 1. los pensamientos de la gente son muy ruidosos. 2. A medida que las personas envejecen, se vuelven menos capaces de decir exactamente lo que están pensando, mucho menos de imaginarlo.
3. Pensar en algo y sentirlo no son, en absoluto, lo mismo.
(a menos que el pensamiento provenga de un niño, pero ellos también tienden a darle dolor de cabeza si pasa demasiado tiempo junto a ellos).
A veces es considerado, mayormente es por algún sentimiento de estar por encima de un pensamiento en particular. Muy rara vez se cruza con alguien que dice exactamente lo que piensa en el momento. Especialmente en un trabajo como el que tiene, donde hay tantas cámaras pendientes de cada palabra que dice, con reporteros ansiosos por clavar sus dientes en su próxima gran primicia al manipular de forma deliberada lo que sea que logren encontrar.
Las palabras de Jorge serían eso, una próxima linea en el periodico que sería olvidada en apenas unas semanas.
“—... y a lo mejor en dos o tres años estamos casados”
Eran solo palabras vacías, palabras que Lorenzo había preparado, como todo lo que dice en una conferencia de prensa, y aún así…
No lo entiende.
¿Por qué Lorenzo pensaría eso?
¿Por qué Lorenzo imaginaría de forma tan vivida el sonido de las campanas de una iglesia? ¿Por qué, en esos pensamientos demasiado nítidos para ser una ocurrencia tardía, estaba el propio Dani con un traje blanco y una sonrisa que no podía reconocer como suya?
Muerde la pajita de su bebida, en partes intrigado y sospechoso. Ahora, escondido en la seguridad de su motorhome y lo suficientemente lejos del ruido del paddock, entiende que una broma como esa para demostrar que ahora se llevan bien no está muy lejos de lo que Jorge normalmente hace, alimentando a las pirañas de los medios.
Desde que lo conoce, no es la primera vez que Jorge piensa en bodas, pero normalmente sus pensamientos siempre están en contra de la simple idea. Retrocediendo ante la simple mención y pasando de ello, como si no fuera más que algo superficial. Algo con lo que no se permite fantasear porque es una distracción.
Dani puede leer la mente de la gente casi desde que tiene memoria. Conoce los hechos.
1- La gente piensa de forma ruidosa.
2- Mienten más, imaginan menos
Para que una imagen sea tan clara, debe ser un pensamiento recurrente. Un podio en Mugello, una victoria en Valencia, un adelanto en la última curva-
Sol brillante de verano. El olor a sal marina. Una iglesia que no reconoce. Trajes blancos y ramos con cintas color marfil.
Dani. Una sonrisa que no reconoce en sí mismo.
Jorge-
Una boda.
Dani conoce los hechos:
3- Pensarlo y sentirlo no son lo mismo.
Aprieta los dientes cuando escucha un golpe en su puerta. Lo que sea que Jorge esté imaginando no es su problema.
Ya es hora de irse.
