Oh lord the chaos would only get worse when the triplets are born!! Specifically: Hashtag.

Soundwave is getting increasingly frustrated because someone keeps hacking into the nemesis computer… and sending him memes. He is baffled beyond comprehension and increasingly frustrated because he can’t figure out who it is. Who are you. How are you doing that. Why are you not trying to steal information. Can you stop sending him the ‘never gonna give you up’ human.

Assuming the kiddos are born when Starscream is off on his own, Hashtag comes home one day (Ratchet does not remember teaching her how to use the groundbridge. Who taught her how to use the groundbridge. MIKO!), and she excitedly tells her siblings about her new shiny and sarcastic friend. No one knows how the hell she found Starscream but no one is happy about it. (Star doesn’t know where this newspark came from, who lost their progeny?! And can he keep them? He’s lonely)

Knockout keeps finding her in drive in theaters. He’s just happy to have someone to talk about horror films to (breakdown won’t watch them anymore, he doesn’t like seeing Squishie’s insides).

Optimus and Ratchet are getting the mother of all headaches. Hashtag please… stop…

QBWVEGEGWJBQVEGWH this is amazing

Hashtag would screw with the Nemesis so much. But like. For fun. When Ratchet and Optimus find out that she’s been hacking the enemy for weeks to send memes they’re gonna lose their minds. How the hell did you achieve this. How the hell is Soundwave not tracing you. They’re going to kill you when they find out. WHY. MEMES. The processor aches that day will be legendary

Bonus points: Since it’s 2011, one day Megatron walks into the bridge to yell about someone blasting the shitty human song “Crazy Frog” on the comm system. He finds Soundwave and the vehicons loosing their shit and all the monitors frozen on this image:

Imperial LeBaron Crown Coupe, 1975. This was Imperial's last year model year as an independent marque. The Crown model name was resurrected for the coupe only. With divisional cost-savings having forced the Imperial to share everything apart from some trim and badging with the Chrysler New Yorker, the price differential was increasingly difficult to justify.

Car booty!

I cannot stress enough that Murderbot should look like the kind of video game NPC you would happily kill. It should look like the gijinka of something you lower your horns and charge from behind to knock off its feet for gems in Spyro.

Like one of several someones who get mowed down satisfyingly in a stairwell almost as an afterthought in a movie’s extended action sequence! A goon! A MOOK! what is this waif business

F1 should put on an extra press conference with Max and George so we can get all the drama

Invite some of the other drivers to enjoy the drama and make it worse. Make them choose sides

Oh... So there WAS a point to this random ass plotline...

[robertdowneyjjr]

hey, so. funny thing.

@whinysteve and i have been going insane for like two days because we couldn't find this one fic we really liked, and we both remembered reading it not so long ago but somehow neither of us could recall how it ended? and we kept saying that it's so GOOD and how the heck did it just disappear? well, after hours of losing my mind going through my ao3 history, the steve/tony tag with various keywords, the findingstony blog... it. it hit me that i can't find it because it doesn't exist. because it was the soulmates au idea you posted like two weeks ago where their words only show up after they've met their soulmate.

i thought you might find this amusing. 😩 (i do, but i also need to lie down for a bit because i will never know how steve fixed that mess)

hahahaha omg liv if this is your way of peer pressuring me into writing the whole fic i might actually do it??? because your ask has got me thinking about what would happen next.

that said, steve still hasn't figured out how to fix this mess. i'm very sorry about this.

(stonyclunks soulmates au part one here)

having been rescued by SHIELD, news of steve's recovery was immediately delivered to howard stark who, while not as involved with SHIELD as he used to be, still receives weekly reports as one of its co-founders.

he'd gone home that night and brought it up in the middle of cutting his steak. coincidentally, tony had been visiting that day and stayed for dinner, so he found out about captain america's miraculous resurrection before the general public did, and honestly, he had enough of hearing about how great this guy was growing up. he really didn't need to keep hearing about it as an adult after he'd finally worked through his issues with his dad and his obsession with a (not quite) dead war hero.

so after howard's announcement, tony politely requested howard refrain from talking about this guy with him.

"i know he's your friend, and you'll probably be spending a bit of time with him now that he's been found, and i'm really happy for you, but i think it would be better for our relationship if we could talk about literally anything but him," he'd said.

and, well. howard was trying. he knew he wasn't the best dad and he also wanted to do right by maria, who spent so many years torn between her son and her husband while trying to mend their relationship. they were finally in a relatively good place with each other which made maria happy. and to be frank, howard had actually come to really enjoy tony's company whenever he was home. he was quite happy too. so he agreed. they don't talk about steve and howard doesn't ask tony to meet steve.

that very night, tony made sure 'captain america' and 'steve rogers' were muted in all his news feeds and social channels.

he literally doesn't know a single thing about the man besides what he learned in his childhood, which he's blocked out. it's a peaceful two years of blissful ignorance.

fast forward to now, tony's packing up his suitcase and getting ready to check out of his hotel when he sees a text from his mom in their family group chat.

seems he's not quite the perfect role model you always made him out to be, howard 🤡, her message reads.

what follows is a link to an instagram post, and from the message preview he can see that it's steve rogers' profile, and under normal circumstances he wouldn't even bother clicking the link.

but 1) maria usually never brings up the man in tony's presence either, and 2) her comment made him laugh. so color tony intrigued.

he taps the link and sees the post. it's a picture of a coffee cup from the place he was at a week ago. the one where he got body slammed by his mysterious dick of a soulmate and unfairly yelled at for it.

he reads the caption and his legs give out under him.

i don't even know if you'll see this, but all i can do is hope. i'm sorry for the words that have made their mark on you. i know i don't deserve it, but i'm hoping you could give me a second chance. i won't yell at you this time, i promise. yours, a fucking asshole

one week ago, captain america was barely even a blip on tony's radar and that's how he preferred it. now, steve rogers is tony's mysterious dick of a soulmate.

what the fuck even is his life.

so glad to see people are finding the “they don’t know i’m thinking about phantom of the opera” “we know” image relatable and that i am not alone in this experience
