Ren's favourite letter is S! How would REDCATED, Teo n Olivia be like on a plane flight?:0 would they try and sleep, watch the in flight stuff or smth else!

⌞♥⌝ hehe :3 Got a bit silly with this one

[REDACTED]

Rawdogs the entire flight — but only because Angel is next to them. He doesn't want to waste his time sleeping or watching movies when it could be better spent by looking at Angel and watching them sleep instead. He'll upgrade their seats to first class if that's something Angel would want, and he'd happily offer to give them the window seat if they so much as glance in that direction. [REDACTED] also steals keeps Angel's pillow, blanket, toothbrush, etc., after the flight.

Teo

Assuming he's sitting in first class and not using his private jet, Teo would likely spend the entire flight scrolling through his phone and blatantly ignoring Angel's ping request to play Battleship with him. If you let him stew in silence for a few hours, he'll eventually grow bored and consider the idea of visiting you in economy class. At best, he'll do it to cause a commotion, get the opportunity to kick someone out of their seat (for the hell of it), and sit next to Angel so that he can annoy them even more than usual.

Olivia

Realistically, she'll want to put on her headphones, listen to her personally curated plane playlist, and try to catch the eye of her Designated Airport Crush™️. But I like to think that if she were travelling with Angel, then she'd probably want to sync up a movie so they can both live react at the same time instead. If Teo was on the plane as well, then sorry to say but Liv would be begging him to upgrade her to first class and probably wouldn't give Angel a second thought T_T

Starscream is given a bath, Part 1:

First 832 words out of a total 1773 and counting! I never expected this would turn out so long, but I’m not complaining. Aircraft sizes and possibly physics have been ignored to make this fic possible. Thank you for reading. This is my first time writing Transformers fanfics, so I’m kind of nervous. Laying out my heart to you guys here.

Note: “partner” in this context means they are working together as a pair, not a romantic partnership. I’m writing as if Starscream has entered an uneasy alliance with the Autobots in S2 but refuses to join them officially.

Part 2: here

——————————————————————————

“Okay, you can get in the water now.”

It was incredibly early in the morning, and the human had gotten up to drink some water only to see a somewhat dirtied up Starscream looking up at her through the window. The two were technically partners now, but they were still getting to know each other. It was a learning curve with Starscream, but he always seemed to respond well to positive feedback.

“Careful what you wish for, human.” Starscream had a suspiciously devious grin on his faceplate, and it only took a moment for his transformation sequence to finish and then the human was left with a full-size F-16 in her bathtub.

The vehicle mode somehow actually fit, with the landing gear deployed to hold it up just barely above the waterline. This meant she was going to have to do all the work herself, without any help from him.

“Seriously?”

Even without his face visible, she could practically feel that smartass smug look burning into her.

“Something wrong?”

“You know, if you’re gonna behave like a plane, I could always get the pressure washer.” She joked, the words accompanied by a smirk.

The rudder and ailerons moved suddenly in a slight panic, and the human could’ve sworn she even saw his wings themselves twitch, despite being in his altmode.

“THAT infernal device?? Do you take me for some kind of mindless, unfeeling Earth-plane you can just manhandle as you please?!”

His voice was filled with surprise, which over the course of his words gradually grew into offense.

She was trying to take him seriously. Really, she was. But there was an airplane. There was an airplane in the bathtub. And it was yelling at her. With a cracking voice. And it was five in the morning. The quiet must’ve felt uncomfortable to Starscream, because he chuckled nervously and spoke up again, this time sounding more concerned. He was using his kicked puppy voice, which he favored whenever he wanted to get out of something.

“You wouldn’t be so cruel… would you?”

“No…” she sighed. “No, of course not, I was only kidding.” The human smiled and rolled up her pant sleeves before doing anything else. She gave him a slight pat on the undercarriage, which elicited a “Hmph.” from the seeker.

“Alright, now how are we supposed to…” She tried, and failed, to bite back a yawn.

“I guess I could begin with the lower half of the fuselage… gear… engine intake…”

“I don’t care how you begin, just be quick about it! I can’t be sitting around here all day.”

She ignored the somewhat patronizing instruction, putting one leg over the side of the bathtub, and then the other. The human then reached behind him and grabbed a sponge, wetting it in the lukewarm water of the bath before pouring some soap on it. She moved a little closer, placing a hand on his nosewheel.

“Gonna clean the landing gear now. I’ll have to get all up in your wheel well.”

The reply came back uncharacteristically quiet.

“Alright.”

She stood up on the nosewheel, shower head in one hand while the other held onto the gear assembly. The human took her time, pouring warm water over the joints, the shock absorber, the steering system. The wheel wells, an area of the aircraft that were a mix between internal and external, made the differences between Starscream and a regular F-16 easy to spot. He was far more streamlined than his Earth-made counterpart, having little to no exposed cabling and appearing somewhat sleeker overall. He had several joints on the gear to allow better maneuverability on the ground, and it looked like he could even lower his fuselage closer to the ground if he wanted to. She repeated the process with his main wheels. The nosewheel’s well was relatively shallow, whereas she found the main wheels had enough room to almost be considered a crawl space. The human thought about these traits, trailing a hand over a thin line of blue light illuminating the area where the wheels would be stowed.

She didn’t know he had that until now, but it made seeing her way under the fuselage easier. Starscream occasionally shifted above her. He didn’t speak much, only commenting now and then on how long she was lingering, or that she was touching too much. She took notice that his tone of voice was not genuine. It did not convey the irritation Starscream usually made very clear that he was feeling. It was as if he was complaining out of obligation, as if he didn’t know how to feel about what he was experiencing. The feeling of being cleaned like this was…awkward, slightly uncomfortable, but not bad. Even after receiving a human partner of his own, he had never quite gotten used to something eerily squishy rooting around in his exposed parts.

The struts compressed without much resistance when the human pressed down on them, dipping the jet into the water.

hey btw everyone wish me luck on my pilot licensure exam tomorrow. and also give me suggestions on the funniest possible way to tell viking that I'm stealing his brand after I pass the exam and get to legally say I'm a pilot

Do any of your cuphead ocs have cars? I can imagine it might be hard to commute between the isles every day for work and such!

Cuphead and Mugman both have their licenses but don't have cars, which is very funny when you consider the fact that they each have a plane they used for dogfighting.

I think in the event of Needing a car, they would borrow Kettle's old 1930s Studebaker :)

Val and Boba don't have driver's licenses. Val takes public transportation to and from her job (mostly streetcars and trolleys), and Boba works from home, so they aren't too worried about not having a car.

I also think Smith has a beat-up pickup truck. Black matte that is no longer black, the windows don't stay up anymore, you know the deal.

Goldie rides in the passenger seat while Mac sits in the flatbed :) Sometimes Cuphead also catches a ride with them.

[deadpresidents]

To give a more serious answer to that earlier question about whether any Presidents were able to fly, yes, there were three who were trained as pilots.

The most famous is indeed George H.W. Bush, who was the youngest U.S. Navy aviator during World War II, and flew 58 combat missions in the Pacific during the war. He was shot down during a bombing mission over Chichi Jima, an island in an archipelago between Guam and the Japanese mainland in September 1944 and had to be rescued from the Pacific Ocean by an American submarine. That was just a few months after he was also forced to ditch his TMB Avenger bomber in the ocean -- while it still was fully loaded with the bombs for the mission he was on -- and barely escaped the plane before it exploded.

His son, George W. Bush, had a much-less decorated and much-more maligned military "career", but he was trained as a military aviator in the Texas National Guard. Bush 43's most famous flight was as a passenger while President when he landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln for the infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech, but he was definitely a trained pilot.

The first President to earn a pilot's license was actually Dwight D. Eisenhower. Despite his background as a career military officer, Eisenhower was not trained as a military aviator -- he earned a private pilot's license in 1939.

Today my old ass coworker (unrelated to previous coworker mentioned) who works in a different department told me he built parts for fighter jets used during the gulf war

[lordoftheinternet]

It's a tradition in flying circles that after a student's first solo flight, the back of their shirt is cut off. The date, their name, and the plane's identification number are then written on the removed fabric, which is usually pinned up on a wall with the shirt backs from other students. The first solo is a significant milestone in learning to fly, as it displays enough control and knowledge to fly as Pilot In Command.

TLDR: I think Donnie should get to fly planes.

Bonus: the plane (without Donnie or the slight lens blur)

i was not gonna spend a bunch of time figuring out how to draw a plane though so i just traced a picture lol (with a few alterations)
