#mtmte riptide

[revelboo]

Don't mean to overwhelm and feel free to ignore if you're not interested, but I was wondering if you could write a meet-cute scenario for either onslaught or riptide? I love them both and neither of them get enough love

Sure! Not exactly a meet “cute,” though. I had an older ask for him, too, but it’s buried somewhere in the 700 asks in the inbox.

A New Brain

Riptide x Reader

• Watching Swerve’s human jogging down the bar his way, he can’t deny the little organics are adorable. And they’re everywhere on the ship, being carried around or walking on the new and improved human highway built against a wall after Magnus’s old enrichment highway was deemed dangerous and a form of cruel and unusual punishment. “Another?” The human asks and he waves them off, reluctantly pushing up to his peds. Glancing around and spotting two more humans sitting on top of a table while Magnus and Megatron talk.

• Moving through the ship, he realizes that he’s lonely. Left out. There are other Hydrobots on board, but none of them have ever been all that friendly toward him. And Aquabat had called him an embarrassment last time he’d tried to talk to him. If he had a human, he could at least talk to the others about that. Belong to that growing group. He could definitely take care of a little organic. How much trouble could they be?

• It’s like being torn apart and then inexpertly stitched back together. Pain blinding, intensifying but not becoming enough to pass out. And then you’re hitting the ground, disoriented and confused. Retching as a shadow falls over you, your head turns to stare up at a nightmare looming over you. Smiling with sharp, sharklike denta. “A human!”

• Is Primus actually listening to him? Reaching for you with a friendly smile in place, you scream and scramble to drag yourself away. If someone else finds you and catches you do they get dibs? He’s not sure how that works, but you’re not really running. Just painfully pulling yourself along with your arms. Why aren’t you running? Are you broken?

• Where’s your chair? Crying out as a huge hand comes down on you, servos curl around you. And you grab onto a giant servo, heart racing as your lifted high above the ground. Staring in horror at those giant, jagged denta, you start crying. Is it going to eat you? It looks like it’s going to eat you. And then it’s turning to yell down the corridor. “Dibs!” What? “This one’s mine!”

(for me it's a pretty consistent mix of 6 and 8)

[robot-reference]

it may have taken me two months but the giveaway art is finally here 🥳

i wanted to do as many of these as i could, a lot of people asked for TFA characters that i am not familiar with so i didn't draw them, i should just crack and watch it to avoid this problem in the future

as usual if you want any of the pictures separately you can request them and i will post them on my art blog @pervertedkitty

without further ado runners up:

there was a lot of requests for rodimus this time around so i even gave the sketch a quick colour ( @silver-tounges-and-golden-lies @gravedwe11er @robotforest @brilliantyears )

—Rent!

mtmte various x gn! human reader

please tell me ya’ll have seen a trend (well it’s not really a trend trend..) on tiktok about a couple and one of them is like… “i can’t pay rent this month,” and their significant other also is like… “what rent? you don’t pay rent, i do?” LMAO well this is what i imagine this to be like with some of the lost light crew 😭😭

characters included: whirl, rodimus, rung, riptide, & swerve!

content: sfw, fluff, romantic themes, crack (ofc) | wc: 1.4k

WHIRL

whirl looks at you like you’ve grown five heads. what do you mean you can’t pay rent? his one optic is bright and expressive as they narrow deeply at you. because of his unpredictable nature, you’re growing nervous due to his unresponsiveness as he just… looks at you in utter disbelief.

“what? your brain not working or something? when the hell do you ever pay rent?!” his voice was a mixture of shock and exasperation. at this point, your poker face was falling apart— quickly too. 

“well for this month, i can’t pay the rent whirl,” 

“what the fuck are you talking about? i pay it??!” 

after you told him it was a prank, he threw an accusatory claw in your direction saying that if you pull something like that again, he’ll make you pay rent (not cool) but don’t worry, he obviously didn’t mean it! he swears up and down that it's his duty to provide for you, even if that means paying all of the rent

RODIMUS

walking down the ship's corridor you arrive at his office door, pushing past the automatic slabs that revealed him hunched over a clutter of papers with a digital device gripped in his servos, typing furiously as he swiped with precision as a surgeon. when rodimus made the perfect combo, a ding sounded, and for a split moment, his face plates lit up with a smug expression before glancing up at the call of his name.

“oh hey y/n,” he smirks at you, setting down his little game console he got from god knows where, and he also knew damn well he wasn’t supposed to be off task like this either, but you digress. “what’s up?” he asks. 

“rodimus i don’t know how to tell you this but…” you pause, taking in his expression. rodimus leaned forward slightly, his gaze steady as he tried to read the false tension in your face. 

“what is it?” 

“i can’t pay rent this month,” there was a long stretch of silence as you stared at each other. he lets out a bitter laugh before he could stop it. it was high-pitched and hysterical, completely out of place. 

“i’m sorry, what did you say? you can’t pay rent?” rodimus struggles to probably inhale a proper breath at how hard he’s heaving with laughter. you bite back your own as you morph your face into one of irritation 

“why are you laughing? this isn’t a joke. i seriously can’t,” 

“i’m laughing because you can’t and don’t pay rent” his laughter died off, but a smile still lingering. “seriously, you had me thinking it was more serious than what it was,” his arms folded behind his helm.

“what do you mean i can’t pay rent?” you completely forgot about the joke, you raise your brows at him expecting him to try you. you dared it. 

“welllllll i mean… aren’t you broke?” 

he learned his lesson immediately after! (don’t worry man you’re not broke!) obviously, he chooses too pay it… but you gotta let him know that you’re more than capable to pay those expenses too  

RUNG

rungs' desk was cluttered with scattered pieces with intricate materials, each one waiting to be assembled into his current ark— yes, another one. it was his dear hobby so you like to sit in his presence and chat while he worked his nimble digits. 

“rung?” you call his name in the midst of comfortable silence. rung held up a thin, elongated piece, squinting at it curiously thinking about where it could fit in his construction. 

“yes my love?” he finally answers, giving you his undivided attention. you pretend to ponder on a thought that seemed to greatly bother you.

“rung… i can’t pay the rent this month,” his brows furrow deeply, genuine confusion rewrites itself on his features. he hums silently as his servo gently lands on the back of your hand. 

“well you don’t have to worry about that. you don’t have to, remember? i pay the rent…” his voice is soothing, the simple offering of comfort— a smile tugs at the corner of your lips as you falter. rung looked absolutely concerned, afraid your memory suffered a bit during a time he didn’t know about or if you had gotten the wrong idea somehow. 

“it's a joke, don’t worry,” you chuckle, shaking your head. 

honestly, you were kind of expecting him to take it somewhat seriously but not entirely. his reaction was definitely endearing to you though. it was impossible to keep up that act for so long (we stan rung) 

RIPTIDE

when you approach him with the joke in your shared habsuite, i feel like he’d actually be scared for his life and yours. like what?? you can’t pay rent??? it really just proves to you just how forgetful he can be. 

riptide laying on his side as he flickers through the various pre recordings from different entertainment media on the projected screen from cybertron. you lay the opposite side of him, also looking at the flashing images with a grin growing on your lips, glancing over at riptide— a heavy exhale leaving his chassis. 

“borrrrringgggggggg,” he was determined to find anything suitable for the both of you, but was getting increasingly harder each second. 

“hey riptide?” 

“yeah?” he replies without a beat of reluctance, unconsciously tugging you a bit closer to him in the process. 

“i don’t know how you’re going to take this but… i can’t pay rent this month,” your voice lowers, making yourself seem smaller. 

“okay that’s cool— wait what?!” he snaps his helm in your direction almost incredulously. “then how is the rent gonna get paid?” he went bug eyed. your mouth gaped open, you tilt your head hoping that the angle might help you make sense of what the hell just came out of his mouth. 

“are you serious?” you release a breathy laugh at his mounting fear. 

“uhhh yeah?!” you roll your eyes. 

“you better start throwing it back for some cash then,” riptide looked increasingly afraid at your statement, oblivious to your taunting banter. 

“i’m not throwing back anything—! let's give megatron to the djd and see if they pay us…!” 

you weren’t sure if he was serious or not in the moment when he said that... but it took him an embarrassing amount of time to come to the realization that you were joking and that he pays the rent. how could he forget? puffing out his chassis with a “oh yeah you’re right. i do pay the rent” like he totally didn’t just have a breakdown trying to figure out how rent is going to be paid when he's the one who takes care of it

SWERVE

it was late hours, there was no one but swerve carefully, wiping down the last bit of the glass cups that were freshly cleaned by his servos. he slowly looked up to the sound of pattering feet steadily getting louder with each step. swerve grinned goofily like a teenager at the sight of you. leaning over the bartop you smile back. 

“what’s going on y/n? i definitely thought you would’ve been asleep by now— you know, human sleep cycles and stuff… they’re super weird,” you maneuver your body into a stool as you cradle the side of your head in the palm of your hand. 

“i was waiting for you, swerve,” swerve puts more of a pep in his step now that he knows you're waiting for him. 

“this is the last one, so don’t you worry in the slightest,” his smile broadens. your face suddenly changes, which scares him half to death. “y/n? what's the matter? was it something i said?” 

“no it's just… i won’t be able to pay the rent this month,” you give a dramatic pause, your voice dripped with mocked despair. swerve stilled momentarily before smiling again once more. he leaned over the countertop as well to close in the distance. 

“c’mon y/n. you’re for sure gonna have to try harder than that! i saw that trend already!” he barked a laugh, backing away as he set down the last glass in its respected place. well. there was absolutely no way you could have expected that one. you scoffed in disbelief. your mouth parts, but closes quickly. the words never properly formulate as you just sit there as swerve continues to chuckle here and there. 

“damn. i thought i could’ve got you…” 

“don’t stress your head y/n! even if you did get me, you know i’ll always take care of you.” 

swerve did NOT fall for it. damn him and his definitely unhealthy consumption of human media. now, you were determined to find a prank that you were sure he wouldn’t see

[streamwave-official]

My most up-to-date lineup of my human mtmte designs!! I've been at this since like 2022 wow, I have more I want to draw at some point but for now this is what we've got

[phoenixisobsessed]

Obscure character time! It's Riptide (mtmte).

Canonically the stupidest character, too many of these creatures work. I'm thinking #5 at the moment, but if any other other dumb lookin ones work better don't let me stop you :)

AAH?!? (Original post: PINNED)

Holy fuck guys I have never seen this mech in my life and immediately after seeing him I’m losing it why is he hot. HASGHSbASH I’M SORRY BUT HE IS. This one is great. Also I have so many asks rn I am ON THE GRIND.

Also yes I am aware I saturated him so hard. I do that with most of them tbh. Makes me feel like a little silly guy x3.

[driver270]

Came across this a few days ago. A classic reminder to never push strange buttons. This is just good advice in both fiction & real life.

Somewhat related: this panel in Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye.

riptide and starscream friendship in the tumblr multiverse

honestly starscream needs some genuine joy and happiness in his life and if that comes in the form of one (1) himbo shark boy (boat), then so be it.

riptide helps temper the absolute mess that is starscream's emotional state at every given moment, and starscream helps riptide be a little meaner every once in a while. as a treat. there is no way in hell this friendship will crumble due to conflicting personality or personal beliefs. no chance at all (lying)

riptide come get ur rat

[fictional-love-is-my-life]

I want to kiss Riptide and make him smile and giggle. I want to hug him and trace over his helm. I want to play in the water with him and let him have fun. I want to call him a cutie patootie and see his reaction. I want to squish him in my arms and love on him and dote on him with so much love and appreciation that he doesn't know what to do with it all.

mtmte & lost light sillies [ part 17 ]

[hellopuns]

I realized I never posted ALL the colouring book illustrations, and since I no longer have any stock, I figured I'd share.

A collection of little Pokémon teams for Lost Lighters, drawn in 2021! There's a bunch of details I forgot about, but I still consider Ultra Magnus + 10% Forme Zygarde to be the biggest brained choice lol

[noritaro]

dumb and dumber

[blitzy-blitzwing]

I am rusty, but I like how they came out!!! 🤩🤩
