X-Month: Mutancy on the Bouncy (darkwing Duck) (Comission for WeirdKev27)

Hello all you happy muties and welcome back to X-Month, last year known as mutant month!

A brief recap: Last year being an x-men fan with a rather.. chill attitude toward the strangest heroes of all

I did a theme month covering them: I covered their first animated apperance as the defenders of peace as hawkeye joind the x-men to fight namor and dr doom because the fantastic four's rights were busy that day, reviewed the all time franchise defining classic God Loves, Man Kills as the x-men fougth releigion and Xavier was crucified in a hallucination by demonic x-men on the top of the world trade center

I looked at Rogue's poorly drawn first apperance where Carol Danvers gave a hearty fuck you to her former friends for leaving her with a space rapist, and capped it all off iwth the first hellfire gala.

SO what do we have for round 2? Well how about mutant rubber chickens, the gloriously gay origin of Nightcrawler we at long last finally got, the debut of one of the greatest x-men spinoffs ever, one of the best x-men joining the x-men... and almost causing every last one of them to quit, one of the best x-men adaptations ever that debuted just this year and capping off with the comic that started the krakoan age with 6 words "While you slept, the world changed". The schedule's as follows.

9/8:

X-Men Origins Blue X-Men 97 Uncanny X-Men #171: Rogue

9/15: Transformers Cyberverse: Megatron IS MY hero Marvel Graphic Novel #4: The New Mutants

9/22: Transformers One Sam and Max: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak House of X/Powers of X

So to kick us off, and for what alll you duck fans have been waiting for, we're looking at an episode of Darkwing Duck, Mutancy on the Bouncy.

Mutancy on the Bouncy comes from the shows third and final season, called season 2 on Disney+ if your curious to check the episode out as Darkwing Duck's episode order is a nightmare I cannot escape. It came out one month after x-men the animated series, but is more a parody of the concept of mutants and how many there are than the actual x-men. It's only real satire is "There sure are a lot of mutants". And I love them all. except you Havok. You go sit in your corner.

So instead of a direct parody we get a bunch of mutants all themed after practical jokes (gluing someone to something, banana (For banana peel), a literal rubber chicken and a woman who can make you sneeze for sneezing powder), fighting a stone pig crime boss while Darkwing is a racist, narcist moron repeatedly assaulting an innocent person. Yes really.. see what I mean under the cut!

We open with a three way brawl between Darkwing Duck and two newcomers; Rubber Chicken , exactly what he sounds like and Cementhead... whose not a giant head made of cement but a pig made of cement. GOsalyn is on the scene reporting having become an ace reporter and narrates the episode> It's a fun device and gosalyn as an ace reporter fits; She's nozy, she's already butting into darkwings business and she's entertaning.

She dosen't have much integrity, traumtizing herb and binky muddlefoot, the next door neighbors to get sensatonalist photos but she wants a big story.. and to keep getting out of gym.

Around this time Darkwing is dealing with a new mutant criminal, Cementhead. And yup they use mutants. Granted the mutants here aren't due to an x gene but due to being downwind of some sort of plant having parents etc. Which itself.. is clever. Early X-men applied it was atomic radiation what caused it or caused the x-gene to devleop and it's still implied by some like charles xavier his parents working in radiation is why it manifested. So while i'm not sure it's intentional it fits. It also reminds me of a great joke Christopher Preist would do a few years after this episode during his black panther run, having Everett Ross, when encountering the heroes for higher lazily narrate they just fell into a radioactive vat of cream of wheat.

Darkwing finds clues that point to another mutant rubber chicken.. and I wasn't kidding: Darkwing takes 5 seconds to assume he's worknig for cementhead because "Those mutants always hang out together"

Yeah Darkwing is not likeable.. at all in this episode. He looks at the obvious frameup and despite Rubber Chicken (Who in a great gag is over at the snack bar) constantly TELLING him "I was framed", doing nothing ot harm him and generally trying to runa way at best.. Darkwing continues to persue him, tries to take him in despite you know, as a mutant probably not getting great treatment, and tries to beat him up. The last one highlights why, as frustrating as it is to see Darkwing be mildly racist and completely an ass this works: darkwing.. isn't remotely in the right. His shenanigans this episode have him at his most egotistical and judgemental and in the chunk of episodes i've seen the guy has a bad tendency to both be black and white in his morality and quick to judge. It's not really suprising Darkwing won't listen to obvious logic and maybe talk to the guy.. he can't even get over himself long enough to stop attacking and realize he's just hurting himself as Rubber Chicken's body means most of Darkwings tactics just get him hurt. I love RC' sline of "I' dbetter leave: If you keep giving me what' scoming ot me you'll end up in the hopstial"

Gos wants in but Darkwing, as usual, refuses which is hilaroiusly petty at this point as we're on episode 89, and for once somewhere firmly in the time stream instead of whatever got finished first. How many times does he need to learn this. It's a downside of being a status quo show: some conflicts get repeated, again. and again and agani. Like Homer and Marge' smarrige being in crisis you just get tired of it. I do love the gag of goslayn going "Launchpad beliveis me" before darkwing mentions something he belivies in, the easter bunny then the tooth fair an dhas to backpedal to not hurt the big guy.

So Gosalyn nintendoes what darkwing don't:.. actualyl asks questoins. While sh'es just as confrontational she.. actually listens to him and he gives his origin story: He was born from parents who lived downwind of a rubber plant, and thus grew up with fantastic elastic powers. Sadly as many a young mutant has experinced instead of his powers making him popular he was hated and.. well not feared luckily, more mocked so he hid his powers. Until he found out his boss swinheart was in cahoots with cementhead, and thus became Rubber Chicken to foil him. So Cementhead simply framed him. Gosalyn belivies him and supports him.

Darkwing.. is a dick about it

He refuses to belive her for.. no real reason. He assumes sh'es making it up and while Gosalyn isn't exactly TRUSTWORTHY this isn't the first time or even the 50th she's found out stuff.

Part of it is that Swineheart is actually trusted and loved by the city, a philanthropist. Which... fits a little and is part of what makes Cementhead such an intresting villian. Yes their one and the same, and that's the key: Cementhead is powerful on his own, a giant brick of cement that can bulldoze.. but as Swineheart he hides in plain sight. He's essentially Darkwing Duck's versoin of kingpin with a bit of tombstone mixed in, having the formers position as legit buisness man the public dosen't know is evil at first and the latter's stone skin.

He also easily dispatches darkwing by.. playing to his ego. He's not the first villian to do this, i'm sure, but most of darkwings foes go for the upfront approach: beat him up and hope it works this time. Part of what makes negaduck his arch enemy is attacking him at his vunerablities, trying to romance morgana in the show and tracking launchpad in the comics. Granted Negaduck shoudl've also been born as drake mallard but let's just say he had a diffrent name or thought Darkwing would use a fake name for civilian life and move on.

So rather than simply unmask and beat him senseless, he uses darkwing as a pawn offering him his own film, tv series, toyline and even a cartoon (Though the last one's going to be a lot).. if he catches Rubber Chicken. We also meet another mutant, a man who can turn into a banana. This non sequinter will be important later.

Goslalyn calls him out for being bribed so easily and transparently and goes to get proof. Because letting a little girl go into a dangerous situation isn't okay when she's trying to do a school project but it's totally fine when you don't give enough of a shit to go after her apparently.

So we get a great scene of darkwing going after poor rubber chicken who just.. stands still while Darkwing breaks things. Even for him this is a pretty sizeable new low. I love the shopekeep just.. adding up how much he owes. She's also a mutant and can stick things to people and when darkwing doubts, she literally sticks him with the bill. I did not realize the pun till now and applaud the show for doing it so subtly.

While this is going on gos goes for swineheart. She manages to get a photo

But gets caught immedietly

Cleverly she uses swineheart's own tactic against him.. asking him about himself an dfiguring she's about to die and not really getting to give his secret origin that often, he endulges.

It's also a fascinating origin espeically in an episode that's already dense with a guest character, a running gag about mutants setting stuff up for later, and gosalyn's whole reporter schtick. IT's remakeable HOW much this episdoe packs in without feeling overstuffed or too short to do it all.

So Cementhead was the sone of a famous crimelord, but his dad disowned hima nd threw him out for bein ga mutant. And honestly.. i'm shcoked HOW well this episdoe nails mutants: sure i'ts mostly an excuse to do some wacky gags and a fun running gag about there being some hiden mutant EVERYWHERE, but it stilll nails the core of x-men: That mutants are hated and feared just for existing. But where as Rubber Chicken at least had a family, Cementhead had nothing and gladly turned to crime. He became swineheart as he was tired of hiding, and this became a way to still do crime while also being a publci figure.

He plans to cement gosalyn's fate only for her to slip out and escape. Darkwing.. dosen't belivie her because.. she doctored photos earlier. This should work.. but said photos were.. herb muddlefoot with a plant on his head and binkie muddlefoot looking dazed and holding a knife. If this episode emphasiesed how much gosalyn lied, it would've worked better, making Darkwing's skepticism less douchey. But he never brings it up till now: It comes off like he dosen't trust gosalyn.. because he dosen't WANT TO and is using an easy excuse which still works in character but makes him a bigger dick than usual

So Gos goes with plan b: To me my x-men. And since they dont' have a psychic bald man with severe issues and manipulative tendencies they go to the media to call for all mutants.. after the reporter on deck reports darkwing is once again on the hook for property damage, a casual gag I just love. Naturally it dosen't go super great at first as Rubber Chicken is a nervous fellow. He's endeearing, simply wanting to do the right thing but utterly terrifeid of darkwing and of a small child, neither of which are a good look. But when pressed he does the right thing anyway. He coudl've given up hunting cementhead after the frame job and just.. disappeared.. but he dosen't. Because he wants to catch him because even if everyone fears him or wnats to lock him up.. it's the right thing. And that's what being an x-man is all about.. you may not be loved.. but you are needed to push for a better tommorow. And that's what matters

The Reporter sympathizes.. and reveals she's also a mutant and urges others to help.

So as Darkwing finds out Swinheart and Cementhead are the same person just in time to learn what the five fingers said to the face, a new team which i'm dubbing THE X-DUCKS. They are Rubber Chicken the fearful fowl with limbs of rubber! Banana BOy! Whose actually a grown ass man whose banana form has a cape for some reason! Glue Gal, the girl with the power to stick to you like glue and make it hard to find a catchphrase not lind with innuendo for her and Sneezemaster, who will give you the sniffles.

Together they.. easily get beaten. Yeah hilariously the lack of experince, team cordination or any time in the field apart from Rubber Chicken just.. causes them all to be irrelvant and crash into each other leaving only rubber chicken. It works way better than it has any right to: all this buildup.. and the payoff to all the mutants running around is them running into each other. IT's brilliant. And it's a hard joke to pull off: Deadpool 2 tried a similar thing with x-force but it didn't work as not only did they all die horribly.. but it felt so damn mean spirited. HEre nothings stopping these mutants from sticking around as a team or learning to be better, they simply weren't ready for this fight.

So it's up to darkwing who finally learns rubber chickens powers have a backlash.. and lures cementhead to attack so rubber chicken can slingshot him. With that Darkwing admits maybe mutants arne't so bad and Rubber Chicken.. hilariously lays into him, shouting about him being an egotist and a bully. He takes offence to the..f rist one.

It's a great ending to a great episode. Mutancy on the Bouncy is a lot of fun, taking the x-men concept and doing the goofies verison of it imaginable> THe team reminds me of the legion of substitue heroes from DC: heroes with pretty niche powers who fight anyway because it's the right thing. The episode nails being a mutant: the isolation, the hiding to avoid being hated and feared, how some revel in thier power and how grouping together can help you surivive. Rubber Chicken ends the episode with more confidence, friends and not hated and feared. I wish the series lived long enough to get a sequel and hope these guys pop up in the dynamite comics as it dosen't seem like they did in boom.. and if i'm wrong please tell me. This episode is stacked with great one offs and is one of my faviorites i've seen. I may be of coursed a little teeny bit biased towards something parodying x-men, but theyt ake the basic concept and make it their own wonderfully. Thanks for reading

jayfeather2920: Jack is adopted by the Decepticons, next of the story of Drac0shka. Maybe Megatron and the others keep Jack away from super human stuff so he don’t wanna leave. And eventually Soundwave shows him stuff and the kid ends up wanting to go to school. (Tumblr request in comment)

Since Jack already knows the human world thanks to Soundwave and Starscream, seen in the previous episode, I will change the story a little. But don't worry, it will stay in the same style ;).

~~~

As had been decided Jack could leave the Nemesis to explore Earth one day per month. Still far from human civilization, which Megatron considered unworthy of being close to his child. Either way, the experience with the MECH had definitely convinced him that humans should stay as far away from the boy as possible.

A year had passed since this decision was made, and each time Jack showed greater and greater interest in humans and their lives, which he could only see from afar.

During an outing with Starscream, the boy looked longingly at the great city not far from them, beyond the mountains. The child looked at the Seeker several times, hesitating to ask him what he wanted, because deep down he already suspected the answer he was going to receive.

"What's the matter? asked the jet, finally noticing the hesitant look of the little one.

- Nothing…

- Don't try to lie to me, Jack. I can see you want to talk to me about something."

The brunette sighed a little, before returning his gaze towards the city. The flyer followed his gaze, and it didn't take long for him to understand.

“You know it’s too dangerous. Starscream said.

- I know... but I would really like to see what it's like there... I would like to interact with other humans, people like me.

- Megatron would not agree, and you know it.

- But I know that you are not entirely against it… It is for me to communicate with my peers that you taught me English, right?

-And in a way I regret… That's what made Silas do everything possible to extract information from you. If you hadn't known how to speak English, it wouldn't have been possible.

- But nothing happened in the end! I didn't tell them anything!

- I know, but it could have been very different. I'm sorry, Jack, but humans are far too dangerous for you... Besides, what could you do with primitives like that! You'd be bored with them, that's for sure!

- How can you know?

- I know, that's all.

- What an answer...

- Don't start being insolent, otherwise I'll cancel our outing.

- Oh no!!"

Jack sulked silently, and sat down on the ground at the edge of the cliff, letting his feet dangle above. It was then that the child saw humans approaching. Starscream frowned, deciding it was best to go, but when he turned to the boy to urge him to leave, the child was already running towards the path.

The Seeker raised his wings in surprise, and suddenly squeezed them when he saw that Jack was taking the path towards those damn hikers. The jet began to panic, before setting off in pursuit of the little brown-haired boy, who was doing whatever he wanted.

“Jack!! Come back here right now!!" ordered the flyer sharply and angrily.

The child managed to slip through different paths, far too steep for Starscream, who found it increasingly difficult to catch the kid on this unstable terrain. Jack smiled with pride, before feeling his foot lose the ground.

The boy let out an exclamation, before starting to fall, under the frightened gaze of the Seeker. The brunette closed his eyes, when he felt that he was suddenly caught up. The jet quickly hid behind the rocks, while the tallest of the group of humans helped Jack back onto his legs.

“Well, kid, be careful. You could have hurt yourself. the imposing man scolded softly.

- Um… yes… sorry…

- What are you doing here alone? Aren't you at school?

- School?"

The woman who was with him leaned towards Jack, then asked:

"Where are your parents ?

- Um… They're not far away, I was going to join them.

- Will it be okay alone?

- Yes, don't worry."

A young man raised his phone to the sky, searching for a connection, while the adults looked after the lost child. Jack couldn't hide his interest in this strange object, which didn't seem very sophisticated compared to what he knew.

The boy managed to slip out of the group, and greeted them quickly, before leaving in a hurry, knowing that he wouldn't be able to continue lying for long if he was asked too many questions.

It wasn't long before Starscream joined him, and to say he was worried and angry was an understatement. The Seeker didn't know whether to scold Jack for his recklessness, or just be relieved to see him safe.

The jet called for a ground bridge, cutting the exit short, much to the child's dismay, although he understood very well why. What he had done may have been stupid, but he was still happy to have managed to communicate with members of his species. They didn't look evil like the MECH ones, quite the contrary. The flyer turned to Jack, as the portal opened, and said:

"Not a word about this incident to Megatron, is that clear?

- Yes."

The brunette had every reason in the world to hide this event. Firstly because he didn't want Megatron and Starscream to argue again, but also because he didn't want to be private of his monthly release.

When the duo arrived in the ship, KnockOut had a rather worried look on his face, and approached them. The Seeker frowned, and wanted to ask him what was going on, when he heard the voice of the leader of the Decepticons yelling:

“Jack! Starscream! Come to the main room! Now"

The two did not delay in coming, knowing that it would not help their case to arrive late. The ex-gladiator was more than angry, curtly beckoning them to come forward.

"Well, what's the problem? questioned the jet.

- Do you really want to play ignorant, Starscream? Megatron growled.

- To pretend to ignore something, I still have to know what I should ignore. And here I admit to you that I don't see it. We didn't do anything wrong!"

Jack nodded quickly, imitating the flyer, and pretending not to understand what the leader of the Decepticons was getting at. That's when the two saw Laserbeak land on the ex-gladiator's shoulder, while Soundwave was right behind, and showed the video of Jack's altercation with the hikers. Megatron crossed his arms, then asked:

"You were saying?"

Starscream had a much less confident expression, his wings conveying his unease, while the duo was clearly at a dead end.

“Ooh… that… the Seeker stammered. Ah but yes... it comes back to me now... It's crazy, it was so unimportant that I ended up forgetting it...!

- Unimportant you say?! declared the leader of the Decepticons, frowning.

- Well... not completely... But nothing happened... so... Let's move on, uh...?

- Ignoring this incident is my last choice!"

Jack looked at the two robots, looking for a solution to quickly defuse the tense situation that was developing. It was then that the words of the man he had met came back to his mind: “What are you doing here alone? Aren't you at school?" The boy didn't know why he remembered it, or if it would help him, but decided to give it a try anyway.

"I want to go to school!"

The Transformers looked surprised at the little brunette, and Megatron became even angrier.

“Look what this incident did to Jack!

- No need to panic! Starscream glared. He probably just wants to take lessons from Soundwave, as usual.

- No! Otherwise he would have said he wanted to take lessons! Not that he wanted to go to school! You see! Just one interaction with these damn humans, and he already wants to do just like them!

- What's so bad? Jack asked quietly. I'm human after all.

- Outwardly yes! But your education is far superior! Nothing to do with these unimportant organics!"

The child said nothing, but still found that the Decepticons were not always very clear in their speech. Very often contradictory. They hated humans, but he was the exception. They hated being in contact with anything organic, but had no trouble picking him up and touching him.

So he wasn't really convinced by all that... He also didn't really know if the Decepticons saw him as a human. Were they afraid he would become one? The boy lowered his head gently, then replied:

“I would just like to know my fellow human beings better, to learn their history. And then also... having friends, having fun with children my age...

- For that, you don't have to go to school. replied the ex-gladiator.

- Megatron… Starscream intervened.

- I don't allow you to be so familiar with me, Starscream.

- Try to understand Jack, you have to face the facts that one outing a month is no longer enough for him.

- Don't you care what could happen to him or what?!

- I did! But I'm also well aware that this is not a viable situation for him! I understand that you want to protect him, especially after what happened with MECH! But that was a year ago now!

- You agreed with me, I'll remind you! You too are aware that the outside world is too dangerous for him!

- It's dangerous for everyone! Jack is growing up, it's normal for him to want to discover, to go out, to meet other people, especially humans!

- Why humans?! Jack, have you forgotten what they did to you?!"

The little boy shook his head, before declaring:

"No, and I haven't forgotten how much you helped me either. But I also don't want to deny who I am, I'm human, and I'm not ashamed of it. The fact that I want to know my fellow human beings does not mean that I want to separate from you, nor that I want to be like them. I love you more than anything in the world, I will never leave you. I am who I am, and I don't want to change how I was made."

Megatron seemed to calm down at this statement, and Starscream said:

“Wanting to discover new things does not mean that he no longer loves us. You have to let him take flight. Novelty is an integral part of his evolution, you must accept it, Lord Megatron."

The leader of the Decepticons knelt before Jack, then asked:

“Are you sure everything will be okay for you?

- Don't worry, I know how to defend myself now. And then, I know that Laserbeak will always be nearby to watch over me."

The boy gave Soundwave's minicon an affectionate look, who responded with a soft trill. The ex-gladiator looked at Starscream, who simply nodded, his wings indicating his trust in the child. Megatron sighed, before getting up, and said:

"Alright. It's OK."

Jack's eyes were bright with joy, and he was about to thank the leader of the Decepticons, when the latter added:

“On the other hand, I’m warning you, if anything happens I want you to talk to me about it. If a human hurts you, I will take care of them personally!

- Yes! Of course!

- And no more secrets or lies!

- Promise! Promise!

- That goes for you too, Starscream!"

The Seeker had a surprised expression, and crossed his arms, before retorting:

“I lie if I want!”

The little brunette laughed at the slight confrontation, sensing no real hostility in the conversation. He jumped with joy, before heading towards his room, to look up everything he had to know about the school and its customs. He understood that it was a place to learn, but he had the feeling that many other things were possible there.

“I hope I don’t make a mistake. Megatron sighed.

- I'm sure we can trust Jack. He will make mistakes, but deep down we know he will get through it." replied the Seeker.

Soundwave nodded slowly, sure and certain that everything would be fine for their brave little Decepticon.

Pilot Poll Open until next Sunday

...Fuck it. Let's do some spoiler stuff for the Peaceful Timeline.

Optimus was hiding behind one of the houses in his holoform, spying on the baker's shop across from him. He was reading a book to occupy him and to hide his face. Hopefully that was enough to not be seen. He raised his eyes to see the red-haired man who owned the shop, talking to Ymir as he was rolling the dough.

About a few month ago, Maria had come up to Optimus and Megatron and told them that Ymir was talking to the 'Nice Bread Man' as she put it. The two had taken her to figure out who he was, only to have Maria yell to her mother and cause them to run before they could be spotted. Ymir didn't bring it up when she returned to the cabin, but...it was fairly awkward between the three. Maria was quite oblivious to the situation.

But...this man had been in the village for quite a few years. Oshern's his name according to the gossip of the village. Additionally, the village seemed surprised that Oshern and Ymir were still talking for this long without either Optimus or Megatron doing anything about him....well they were spying on him for the time being.

Optimus still couldn't help but be concerned about it. He didn't know what Ymir was thinking. She knew this was dangerous, right? He could be dangerous. He could be a threat to her and Maria. He couldn't be this kind at all. Betray her in some way. Did she even plan on letting him in? Even if she did, there was the matter of their secrets. Would he tell the other villagers if he found out? Would they be driven out of their homes and forced to find a new place to go? Ymir shouldn't be doing this at all. She-!

"You're not as subtle as you think you are, Orion." Optimus jolted and ended up dropping the book that he was holding in the process. He snapped his head to the side and saw Solveig holding her basket of herbs, looking quite amused with his antics.

Optimus sighed as he picked up the book. "Solveig, this does not concern you."

"Perhaps, but you acting like a vulture is quite annoying," Solveig declared, "And since you're so busy standing here, I figured you could help me with my shop."

"Solveig-,"

"Do you intend to let a poor, old, woman asking for help do her tasks on her own?" Solveig challenged, "With an aching back too."

"You cannot keep resorting to that," Optimus proclaimed.

"My back is hurting; I actually do need the help." Solveig confessed.

Optimus sighed as he took the basket from her hand. "I suppose that would be unwise."

Solveig wrapped her arms around Optimus' right arm and patted his hand. "Thank you so much, Orion."

Oshern put the bread in the oven and wiped his hands on his apron. As he stood up, he noticed out of the corner of his eye, Orion was walking down the street with Solveig. He grew a little tense when the man glanced his way, causing Ymir to look behind her. Ymir's face went red with shame before taking out her notebook and writing something down. She tapped Oshern's hand, and the baker looked down at the writing in the woman's notebook.

"I'm sorry. This is...embarrassing. They've been...spying on you."

"You're...guardians?" Oshern wasn't sure of the dynamic between Ymir and Orion and Matthew, but Ymir nodded her head at his question, so he assumed he guessed correctly. "I guess that explains the eyes burning into the back of my skull."

Ymir could only close her notebook and hold it close to her chest. Oshern could see that even her ears were now red in shame.

"They're not going to stop, are they?" Oshern asked, earning a nod from Ymir. Oshern saw Ymir open her mouth, almost as if she wanted to say something, but she quickly closed it. She opened her notebook again and wrote something down before showing it to him.

"I...don't want the way they are acting to...push you away from me."

"Oh," Oshern could only emit, feeling the heat flush his cheek. He rubbed the back of his head and laughed nervously. "I mean that depends. They won't hurt me, will they?"

Ymir seemed a little hopeful before she wrote something else down and showed it to them. "I won't let them hurt you."

"Well...then I don't mind still talking to you," Oshern said. The way that Ymir's eyes seem to light up with relief made his own heart skip a beat. Oshern wanted to say more and ask her something, but then-

"Mama!" Ymir turned to see Maria run up to her mother and hug her. Ymir kneeled down and hugged her too, petting the back of her head. Oshern sensing that the moment was gone, went back to check on the bread. Once he realized it was ready, he got his long spatula and scooped it out of the oven before setting it down. Maria sniffed the air and quickly ran to the countertop. She tried to reach out for it, but her mother placed a gentle hand on her own.

"It's for us, right?" Maria asked.

"It's actually for someone else," Oshern explained, "I already gave your mom her orders. Besides, the bread's really hot. It needs to cool down."

"Can I have one?" Maria asked her mom. Ymir responded by digging into her bag and giving Maria a small roll of bread. Oshern couldn't help but chuckle at Maria's urgency to eat the bread, but quickly grew tense when he felt like someone was watching him. He didn't know from where though.

"Thank you, Bread Man!" Maria said to him as she waved goodbye and ran down the street. Ymir gave a small wave goodbye to Oshern before following after her daughter.

"Bye." Oshern raised a small hand to say goodbye, but he was certain Ymir didn't see it.

(Well this is more fluff than hurt/comfort. But now I have 12 dialogue prompts left. So please ask from the list. That would be really nice.)

Look you’re the only person I know off the top of my head so I’m sorry to call you out but-

Why transformer sexy?? I am intrigued and do not understand but wish to know more??

sdfjsdkfj PLEASE this is hilarious 😂 i would be more than happy to (attempt to) explain why transformer sexy. buckle up, babes, we're going on a journey.

the barest explanation i can give is that a) i find things like aliens, monsters, etc attractive; & 2) transformers are often relatively close in general shape to many human body types i find attractive, while also being so incredibly, distinctly not human, which, in my opinion, makes them all the more sexy. i'll admit too i do find many vehicles sexy, which is another bonus with transformers.

plus. they're B I G.

examples under the cut with some explanations to my own personal attraction, but disclaimer! these are all from the IDW1 comics! & the artists illustrating the comics DID play an important role in robot sexiness.

(i could go into other tf media too, but this is already lengthy sdhfjgh)

SO, let's start off easy. rodimus is a prime (heh) example of a sexy bot. artist: alex milne

the broad shoulders. the narrow waist. the long legs. This is the main, overarching theme. This is the Good Shape™. He's got bright colors & a cocky demeanor. plus he can set himself on fire. those lights on his waist are tasty too. hot damn.

up next, we've got another classic: optimus prime. first two are milne, & third is by nick roche

once again, we have broad shoulders & a snatched waist. we have big arms. we can also see from the second panel that these rigid, mechanical beings can be fairly flexible. plus, who doesn't love a beaten, disheveled man? i know i sure do. bonus points for him too because he's relatively big & tall as far as transformers go, whereas rodimus is average height.

up next is megatron. all of these are milne drawings

personally, i think the black look is better––that's when he turned into a stealth bomber-type plane––but both looks follow the Good Shape. all about that shoulders & waist, baybee. the body language on display here is great, too. more examples of how much freedom of movement these giant robots have.

i can't not talk about my all-time favorite bot, fortress maximus. all three are by milne

he is a bit blocker than previous examples, but that makes sense for a giant powerhouse tank prison warden like himself! & he does still follow the Good Shape. he's massive! he has fun helmet fins! he's got guns in his legs! he's handsome 🥰 (i do also like to imagine voices for lots of the bots, & i imagine his would reduce me to a quivering mess.)

we got some ladies too, don't worry! this is arcee, by casey coller & sara pitre-durocher respectively! look at her thighs, i mean damn! she's also ferocious, & i love that in a woman.

then we have windblade & firestar (milne), & chromia & the mistress of flame (saren stone). the lady bots tend to be curvier in design (but not always), though not necessarily bustier. trust me when i say there are some boobalicious boy bots (*cough*prowl*cough*).

& now for shits & giggles, some bots with exaggerated or unusual body shapes that i also find attractive for one reason or another 🤪 (hayato sakamoto, guido guidi, milne x3)

i have SO many more examples, but we'll be here all day if i keep going 😅

In Conclusion: robbits sexy

I don't know how to feel about the new update to the whole "Photo" thing, well things seem the same but at the same time it is different.

I had just found out about it, the whole green draft saved keeps popping up for some reason, I guess that is one of it's updates...?

if by chance the top drawing is hard to see, I mean what the characters are saying is hard to read, please make sure to click on it to get a better look at it.

at first I wanted Blitzwing to just be holding a cute animal to be his pet, which he still is because he is holding Buzzsaw, who in this drawing instead of having two eyes like when they were alive, they instead have four eyes and still has the Decepticon Symbol on their forehead.

Blitzwing having Buzzsaw as a pet, even if originally they had belong to Soundwave, just sounds interesting to me, even if it might not happen in the story, I'm okay with just the thought of it.

same with the whole Shockwave x Sallie May, you can't really see Shockwave's face, and yeah it does reference a scene in one of the episodes of Helluva Boss....I love that scene because it is kind of funny, so Sallie saying that Shockwave's butt is hers, is a reference to that episode where Millie says that Moxxie's a** is hers.

also the reason why that drawing says that Crymini is Husk's Adoptive Daughter, has to do with some info I read about Crymini and Husk, that their relationship is like a Father & Daughter one...

so in Fanon, if Blitzwing and Husk got married....that would give Crymini Two Dads. sure it wouldn't be canon, but that is why the Fanon exists.

also the humans that I'm going to call Ivan, Marissa and Marcus aka "Marc" aren't really characters I made up, because they had appeared in the episode where Sari got her Allspark-Key from the Allspark.

I know this might sound far fetched and crazy, but I think those three are her biological human family, because we don't see Isaac at all in those flashes between Sari and the Allspark...

so logically this could mean that Isaac isn't Sari's biological father at all, and well he did only wear gloves and the hatchling protoform self of Sari might of got more DNA from him if he wasn't wearing the gloves....

so the man that is shown during the flashes between the Allspark and Sari, which is like a conversation between them...

I'm gonna view as Isaac's younger brother, and who along with his now ex-wife Marissa Faireborn (I'm going to view that red hair woman from that episode, as the Marissa Faireborn of TFA.) had found Isaac out cold and when they saw the liquid metal body that was to become Sari, and they both weren't wearing gloves and they both ended up touching the hatchling at the same time...

this ends up shocking them and having them go out cold, and when all three of them came to, there was now a human baby girl in the place of the hatchling.

I'm going to view this as a Fan Headcanon, this would also mean that Isaac isn't Sari's biological father, but she is still biologically related to him thanks to the half of her human DNA, it is just that he is her bio

her CNA comes from Megatron, who had went through the mitosis (possibly thanks to the Allspark...) when he was in that stasis coma.

Sari was not the same type of Protoform as the ones that look like Mannequin, Sari's protoform self was a Hatchling and was a Newborn, because her hatchling self was just born in that same lab that Megatron's head was being kept, the flash of light was possibly one of the signs that the hatchling was just born.

seriously, Megatron is WAY overdue for that Hatchling Shower.

in the drawing that has the two types of protoforms, the forged type and the mitosis type....

the baby hatchling is seen in a type of blue sac that is suppose to be like the type from the live-action movie series of Transformers.

it is Egg shaped and is suppose to be filled with Energon, and we know that thanks to the movie it shows it as well as the info that is written about it in one of the Transformers Wikia Sites.

the Energon Filled Sac, which could be like a Egg...

it should never be breached or broken before it is time for the hatchling to come out, otherwise it will end up having the Hatchling lose their life and their spark extinguished.

it is possible if Sari when she was a hatchling, if he hadn't been found on time, she would of had her own spark end up extinguish.

so her becoming half organic, may have saved her life and spark.

also I like the idea of Shattered Glass Sari being called "Shari" and end up living in the same universe as Sari and becoming like the sister of Sari.

those two are technically counterparts but at the same time they are technically half-sisters, and if it does turn out that Isaac Sumdac is only Sari's Adoptive Father and also her Biological Uncle (thanks to the organic half of her DNA...) the same could be said for the Isaac from the TFA Shattered Glass Universe, and there is another reason why Shari had attacked SG-Isaac when she was just a Hatchling/Baby...

it could turn out he had did something terrible to the SG-Versions of Sari's Human Parents, like even if Shari might not remember them, she could of formed a type of bond with SG-Marissa and even the moment SG-Marissa held Shari in her arms, she knew that she was her daughter and her and SG-Ivan Sumdac, were ready to welcome Shari into their family and didn't care that she wasn't originally human.

but the tender moment between them was ruined thanks to SG-Isaac, who ends up harming SG-Ivan and SG-Marissa to the point they ended up pretty close to death's door and barely holding out.

this ends up provoking Shari (back then just Sari) and she attack SG-Isaac for harming SG-Ivan & SG-Marissa.

unlike Sari, Shari might know the truth that both versions of Isaac aren't their biological fathers and are actually their bio-uncles.

Shari might of also figured out that while Megatron is Sari's Bio-Sire, and she got her CNA from him thanks to him going through the mitosis stage...

but Shari wasn't born from SG-Megatron, and was born from SG-Optimus Prime, this means that Sari and Shari aren't 100% counterparts of each other, and are technically half-sisters from two different universes, and if it was possible, Shari could start over and live in the same universe as Sari.

like picture the Good Cinnamon Roll Optimus trying to stop Shari from misbehaving and she accidentally calls him "Dad" which would technically be true....because he is the good counterpart of SG-Optimus, who is Shari's Bio-Sire.

I know that the Man, Woman and Kid that appeared in that episode where Sari gets her Key, don't really have names but it isn't like it would be the first time nameless characters from a show or movie or video game series, were named by Fans...

so I'm calling them Ivan Sumdac, Marissa Faireborn and Marc Sumdac.

Marc Sumdac could turn out to be Sari's Older Brother, and the flashes that are shown between the conversation between the Allspark and Sari, are not just having to do with the DNA that was given to Sari when she was turned half-human, but also memories.

the horse appearing in those flash images, could be memories.

and I know that it isn't possible and this would be like a hypothetical theory, but if the Allspark were to end up in the Hell in Hazformers, and if Blitzwing got too close to it, and if it is during the stage where he would of went through the mitosis...

it could end up causing him to go through the mitosis...

if anyone is gonna touch that hatchling and have it scan a ethereal photon DNA, it's gonna be Husk. XD

plus it could turn out the Allspark, could end up causing Sinners to no longer be sterile and end up being able to have offspring with each other or with Hellborns.

that shouldn't make Lucifer happy, though it would serve him right, seeing as the overpopulation is his fault sense his big macho pride of a ego refuses to have half of the Sinners move to the other rings and let them travel between them.

well he can't be the worse number one Dad, even if he might not get his words might hurt Charlie at times...

but if I had to pick who is worse at Daddying, behind Moxxie and Stolas's Fathers...

I would pick Cain's Bio-Dad & Step-Dad....even if Adam has matured, he could of still tried to do better in parenting both Cain and Abel, to which Cain wouldn't became worse and end up having his emotional and spiritual depression get way worse and to a dangerous level, if he had stop Abel from those so called offerings, I can't be the only one who has finally figured out how messed up and wrong that is.

at least in some form of Modern Ritual, if animals are used, they aren't used in the same sense to which Abel had used them, but instead it is shared between everyone in a type of meal and is cooked properly, plus I guess besides hunting, the meat could be store bought but would still need to be cooked.

Adam should of did a better job with Abel, as well as Cain...

both Cain and Abel are still at fault, and it is possible that Abel's Ego didn't let him see that his brother was in spiritual and emotional pain and it was reaching a very dangerous breaking point.

and well besides Adam not being the best at Daddying...

but I guess he could of still had his moments where he was a Good Dad....but even that doesn't excuse on how Cain and Abel were brought up...

so yeah, if Archangel Samael is Cain's Bio-Dad, he probably ain't very good at it, which even if Charlie's Dad has his moments where he isn't a perfect Dad, he can't be any worse than some Dads....

like some who don't even freaking bother to visit and be a bit more part of your life, and only ends up visiting only once....everyone can have different types of Daddy or Mommy or Renny Issues.

and might be wondering if their other parent loved them as much as they loved the kids they had spend the most time with and got to see more of, but ya know some parents who never get to see their biological children, could have better excuses than most...

like when your older sibling's spouse cheats and got custody of their kid, even though at least Stolas's reasons for cheating even at first it was on accident and because of his feelings for Blitz...

it wasn't like how despite being in a loving marriage, a certain woman had to throw that all away and had to cheat...

and besides THAT woman that I'm thinking of...

I wouldn't be surprised that if in Helluva Boss, Satan's Other Name, which is Samael, is brought up or if it isn't then I guess I and a few others fans can call him that at times and even by the nickname Sammy. (if Asmodeus can be nicknamed Ozzie, then he can be nicknamed Sammy....even if it isn't canon and is mostly fanon where he is being called Sammy.)

his real life counterpart isn't the boss of me though...even if it does turn out that when he was still just Samael he had ended up being Cain's Bio-Dad, which in theory it could have to do with the ethereal photons becoming matter physical and transforming into a type of organic, or some other explaining how it happen....

but yeah even if Cain is my Ancestor (and well so is Seth.) his possible bio-dad, which is Samael, still ain't the boss of me.

*Plays RWBY Song: This Will Be The Day*

Satan is mentioned in the episode that Bee appears in, which once again she seems like a awesome character and it might be possible that it is only the Embodiment Queens that have more sense than the Embodiment Kings.

Satan isn't the boss of this "Twilight Princess", even if I am a Defective Earth Angel...but I wouldn't be me if I wasn't and I guess being not 100% like other Earth Angels is okay, even if it might have it's down side.

and the whole being descendant of a few royal families, and being a Earth Angel, ended up making me figure out the whole "Earth Angel Princess" thing, which not really a official title thing, but still kinda interesting.....don't have the official title Princess either, but it's fine.

I still rather go by "purple blood" instead of "blue blood" and yeah I am still kind of procrastinating in taking that home blood type test thing again, and yeah the last two successes did have two of them show up as O RH D Negative...I just don't feel like trying to do the home blood type test right away, even if I have to use my left hand to take it because we figured out it works better that way.

it is also best that I keep my eyes closed half of the time, so I don't end up feeling that not so great feeling....but maybe I will still end up feeling it, but hopefully I wont very much this time.

I will still get help taking that home blood type test, I am just not in any rush to try it again anytime soon...I will try to make time to get it done eventually.

and anyway, if Blitzwing did get a pet, he could see it as a way of him becoming a "Daddy" and it be interesting if Buzzy imprint on Blitzwing and refuses to go back to Soundwave.

and I guess the update isn't too bad, I guess I just need to get use to it even if it is slightly different from the other one...

I guess I'm not 100% sure how to feel about it but I'm getting use to it and seeing it as not so bad and seems to be okay.

anyway I hope some like these two drawings, as well as the ship of ShockMay, even if it might not really become a thing, but I was deciding between it either being Shockwave or Swindle that is being carried over Sallie's Shoulder, so I had decided to pick Shockwave.

anyway I do have a TFA theory that I'm going to post next....

and it having to do with Sentinel.

so once again, hope some like these two drawings and Blitzwing spending time with Crymini and Buzzy.

as well as calling SG-Sari by the name Shari, and calling the three humans that showed up in the episode where Sari got her Allspark-Key, by the names Ivan, Marissa and Marc and the idea that they might actually be Sari's Family, and Isaac Sumdac could still be her adoptive father, but also her biological uncle thanks to the human half of her DNA.

and I guess one of the good thing about the update (which once again didn't find out until like just now on July 5, 2023...)

is that it has the option where it has "For Everyone" and even shows the Mature Options, well even if this isn't really all that mature...even if the word that Sallie is using is censored...cause I censored it on purpose...I know I had the thought about something like that before, which could be a great help and well the thought of it had a bit more into it, but still had those little switch things on it.

like it would ask about the maturity of it, and well...I guess the new update is pretty close to the thought I had.

I'm surprised that they had done it, and I guess for now this can be in the "For Everyone" (all but kids, as I'm keeping the tag "not for kids" for this because even though I did censor it by placing the "*" in there, I'm still gonna have this be "not for kids" and "mature audience only" even if the rest of the drawing and other drawing isn't mature.) but if I decide to edit this to have it be changed to the Mature, I will.

PS:

I may have accidentally erased some stuff in this that I had originally was writing before I posted this, and didn't realize that possibility until it was too late and sometime after I had posted it...cause I'm pretty sure I had wrote some other stuff before giving my thoughts about the new update....well, hope some of you still like the two drawings.

Life's New Adventures and Secrets

Chapter 19

~~~~~~~~~~

When nighttime fell, Soundwave had everything set up for the movie night. Emberwing kept glancing at her parents, they weren't talking to each other and they sat with a bit of space between them. Hopefully, the movie could distract her. 

Strongarm comes out holding onto Steeljaw's arm and everyone else comes as well. Once everyone had seated the movie started. Hearing the familiar music, Emberwing bounced with excitement. Razorclaw tilted his helm in confusion, "What are we doing?" He whispered to Soundwave. 

The silent mech put a digit to his visor in a shushing motion before pointing to the screen. They all watched the movie with interest. Optimus and Megatron were intrigued by the rivalry between Mufasa and Scar, "It kind of reminds me of us," Megatron whispered to the red and blue mech.

"Yes, it does," Optimus whispered back. They both watch in shock as Scar throws Mufasa off the side of the cliff killing him.

The kids let out a gasp when they saw the king fall to his death, "Mom, I don't like this movie," Seajumper said quietly.

"Don't worry it gets better."

"You sure?"

Emberwing shushed Seajumper and they continued watching the movie. Steeljaw watched with interest as Simba and Nala reunited and the love song started playing, "Where have I heard that before?" He whispered to himself.

"Metalsound," Strongarm whispered to him. She was sitting between his legs leaning against his body so she could hear anything he said.

"That's right," Steeljaw whispered back. 

The kids made gross faces when they saw Nala and Simba lovingly rubbing against each other. Metalsound chuckled quietly at the kids before looking at the screen in sadness. She misses Thunderhoof, and she hopes that he will forgive her one day. 

Thunderhoof was feeling sad as well not being able to hold and cherish his mate. He wants to forgive her but he can't get that scene in the cave out of his processor.

They all watched in awe as the scene of Scar and Simba fighting played. The boys started cheering for the younger lion, even Sideswipe and Grimlock were cheering. They were all quickly told to be quiet by their mothers and mate. The kids covered their optics at the scene when the hyenas jumped on Scar to kill him.

"Can we look now?" Nightback whimpered.

"Yes, you can look now," his mother replied. They all uncover their optics in time to see Simba walking up the rock to take his place as king. They started cheering when Simba let out a roar followed by the other lions. The boys and Emberwing tried to roar with them and the adults all laughed at their attempt. The movie ended and everyone clapped and cheered.

"I love that movie," Emberwing said with a yawn.

"Time for you kids to go to bed."

"Aww, but Mom I'm not," Seajumper yawned, "I'm not sleepy yet."

"Yes, you are." The moms take the kids in to lie down then come back out.

"Our turn," says Bumblebee anxious to watch Romeo and Juliet.

"You're not the only one excited for this, Lieutenant," Steeljaw chuckled.

"What movie is it?" Strongarm asked as she was returning and sat back down in her spot between Steeljaw's legs.

"Something called Romeo and Juliet," Sideswipe replied looking at the title screen.

"Romeo and Juliet. Isn't that the story that Metalsound compared us to?" She asked looking at Steeljaw.

"Yes, she told me it was a good story," he replied.

"Can't wait to see it then."

The movie starts with a lady on a TV saying the first lines that begin the play, the guys are instantly pulled in when the shooting starts, one side trying to kill off the other and a gas station blowing up. "Whoa, nice action scene," Wheeljack says quietly in amazement.

"Of course you would think so," Arcee says to him teasingly.

They continue watching the movie, they get to the scene where Mercutio dresses up like a woman for the party they're all going to, "Why is a man dressing up like a woman?" Optimus asked in confusion.

"Humans have some strange customs," Steeljaw whispered feeling disgusted by the sight. Razorclaw shifted uncomfortably. Humans were odd.

They later get to the scene where Romeo first sees Juliet in the bathroom and runs after her to try and talk to her, watching her dance with another man before pulling her aside to sweet-talk her and have a little dance of his own with her. The femmes all gushed at the sweet words he spoke to her.

"I have no idea what they're saying," Megatron whispered to Optimus.

"Neither do I, but it must be something sweet for the femmes to be acting like that," Optimus whispers back.

"Indeed," he whispered as his index finger wrapped around Optimus'. 

The scene soon comes where Romeo and Juliet find out that they have fallen in love with their enemy and Steeljaw watches in amusement, "Metalsound is right, our story is like theirs," he whispers to Strongarm.

"Yes, it is," she whispered before looking over at Metalsound and Thunderhoof. She notices how they're sitting apart from each other and her spark goes out to them. Looking back at the screen she can't help but smile when Romeo and Juliet fall into the pool. She giggled as Romeo continued romancing Juliet.

"I thought there was going to be some action in this," Sideswipe whispered to Windblade.

"There is, but there's also some romance," Windblade whispered back to him.

"So it has a little bit of everything for all of us. That's good."

They watched on as they came to the scene where Romeo and Juliet got married. Metalsound whined softly as Romeo's best friend died, and Romeo got banished for killing his cousin-in-law.

"At least I never did that," Steeljaw whispered.

"Yeah," Strongarm whispered as she watched the heartbroken Juliet threaten to kill herself because her parents were forcing her to marry another man, "At least I never did that."

Steeljaw's optics widened as he tightened his grip on her, "Yes, thankfully."

As the movie progressed they found the heartbroken Romeo in the church weeping for his love. He had gotten a vial of poison beforehand thinking Juliet was dead but she wasn't. "She's not dead, she's only asleep," Strongarm whispered.

They watch as Juliet wakes up in time to see Romeo drink the poison, and then cry over his body after he dies. Everyone watched on with tension when she saw the gun. Sideswipe kept whispering, "Please don't," over and over again. All the femmes and a few of the mechs were crying at this point. 

Steeljaw tightened his grip on Strongarm even more, holding her close, feeling relieved that that wasn't their outcome. They all watched in horror as Juliet picked up the gun, put it to her head, and pulled the trigger. Strongarm held Steeljaw close as lubricant rolled down her faceplate while they show the camera pulling back fixated on the couple laying next to each other, dead, and the scenes of them how they were beforehand flashed across the screen. "I'm so happy that wasn't our outcome," she whispers to Steeljaw with a bit of a sob.

Steeljaw tightened his hold on her as he nuzzled the back of her neck, "So am I."

"Why would anyone make something this sad?" Grimlock sobbed as he hugged Bumblebee.

They all watched on with broken sparks as the parents cried and sobbed over the death of their children. Ultra Magnus had moved closer to Strongarm and Steeljaw, pulling them both into a hug. He was thankful they were both still alive. The two look at him in surprise but settle into the hug.

The movie ended but nobody moved, all were still saddened and in shock by what they just watched, "Who picked this movie?" Sideswipe asked trying to keep the lubricant from escaping his optics.

"I did, I didn't know it was so sad," Fixit said with a sob.

Metalsound yawned as she stretched before getting up to head to bed, "For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo," she said before leaving for her quarters.

"I love you both but there's only so much my armor can take, you two are gonna need to loosen up some," Strongarm says feeling constricted by her father and her mate.

"Oh, sorry," Steeljaw blushed a little before he and Ultra Magnus released her.

"I think it's time we all head to bed," Bumblebee said as he managed to get out of Grimlock's grip.

"Yes, I agree," Optimus says and they all get up to head to their quarters and go to bed. 

Steeljaw held Strongarm close as they lay in their berth, "That was a nice romance story, really was just like ours, but a sad ending."

"I agree."

"I'm so happy we didn't do any of the stuff as they did around the end and that ours ended more happily," he says nuzzling his face into her helm.

"I am too," she said quietly as she turned to kiss him.

Memory

“I don’t see how the Cortical Psychic Patch would help,” Paige huffed, crossing her arms, “I’m a human, remember?”

“It is better than nothing.” Breakdown shrugged. She gave him a look.

“Would it better be those pesky crystals that barely do anything?” Knockout huffed. Paige chewed on her cheek, trying not to look like she knew the Decepticon medic was right.

She looked at Megatron. He nodded and she sighed deeply before she walked over, transformed into her dragon form and hopped onto the medberth.

Her wings twitched nervously.

Knockout hooked up the cord… somehow.

Paige felt her stomach twist with uneasiness.

She slowly took a few deep breaths and closed her eyes. She imagined Vincent Diamante’s Sound Bath playing in her mind and it was enough to comfort her in relaxing.

Megatron watched the screen.

There was a wailing sound and it showed a newborn Paige hooked up to various medical devices.

She was worryingly small for someone who had just been born. There were doctors and nurses surrounding her, all determined but worried.

The scene changed to a twenty year old woman holding the pink bundle. The baby, who was asleep, nestled against her mother’s chest, was cooing in her sleep.

“She is a beautiful Star,” Nightstar said as she walked into the room. Marcus looked at her and stood up. “Nightstar,” he said, shocked.

“Calm yourself, Marcus,” Nightstar said, lifting her hand, “Morningstar isn’t with me and he won’t take her away. But… I would like to see who you really are.”

Morningstar and Nightstar. So they must’ve been the Creators of Paige’s kind.

Latosha felt her shoulders tense and she looked at Marcus who stared at the floor. He transformed into a large golden dragon. He had black back spikes and his wings were dark blue and white. His eyes were golden.

Knockout looked at Paige with amusement. “Well now we know why she turns into a dragon,” he said.

“Quiet,” Megatron huffed as he watched the screen.

The scene started changing and Paige’s hands twitched. There was nothing but ruins of buildings and a castle was destroyed.

Megatron frowned deeply.

There was a wailing sound and a man walked over and he slowly saw baby Paige wailing and crying. She was laying in a soft bush. The man picked her up, “shh, shh. It’s okay. I promise. I’ve got you.”

Paige sniffled and whimpered as she looked up at the man with teary eyes. The scene changed again but it faded to black at the last second.

Megatron looked at Paige who was glaring at the ground, her claws digging into the berth. “No more,” she said in a low tone, “I don’t want to see anymore.”

Knockout and Breakdown looked at each other nervously before they looked to Megatron.

“Take it off,” he said. Knockout walked over and unplugged it. Paige jumped off the berth and before Megatron could say anything, she ran out of the room.

Ratchet (Transformers)- Chapter 1

"Tell me where Optimus is hiding."

Ratchet knew this was it. Being hunted by the humans was not how he saw his end. They'd work together side by side for years, yet this was what they got out of it. Death, by another cybertronian. A bounty hunter no less.

"Never." He replied. He already accepted his faith. He would not betray his own.

As Lockdown reached for his spark, he felt a brief tingling in his chest.

He'd watch so many of his comrades die in battle, somehow this felt gracious.

"Let him go." The female voice echoed, and Lockdown turned, metallic gaze fixing on the woman that stood at the top of the building. The men below raised their guns in confusion.

"Who's that woman?" Whoever it was wore a hood, they couldn't truly make out a face.

Lockdown wasn't offered a chance to reply, because the rapid explosions that went off beside them made the men retreat, yelling out orders. They couldn't pinpoint where the shots were coming from, and the first thing assumed was to take a shot in your direction, but when Lockdown's gaze raised from the smoke, Ratchet's body was gone, and so was the woman.

~~~~~~~

The woman stood over the body of the injured male that laid on the bed.

"Please wake up." 

It was a plea for a life. The man stirred, the blood that dirtied his shirt visible. All of his limbs were bandaged, looking at him it was a miracle he was still moving. Green eyes opened slowly, and the woman standing above exhaled.

"You're alive." She blurted. The man blinked, once, twice, three times. He groaned, and when he finally took notice of the person before him, he backed into the cushion, raising his arms.

"Stay back human!" It was an order. You lift both your hands. 

"Calm down, I'm not going to hurt you. "

The biggest problem for the man seemed to be your presence, that's until he truly looked at his arms.

He stared for a solid minute, flipping his wrist back and forth.

"Impossible.."

"I know this is going to take a while to adjust to but I really need you to be calm right now. "

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!"

You wince at his yell.

"Ease up, just let me explain everything."

With the way he was now glaring in your direction, you take a step back, just in case he got any ideas.

"You should be more grateful, I just saved your life Ratchet."

"You turned me human!"

"It was the only way to save you geez!" You were huffing, and when you finally were able to relax, you sigh. 

“Listen, this form isn't permanent. I couldn't transport you the way that you were.

He must have been dead. This woman had not only somehow transported him away from danger, but she changed him. She altered his body. He could see no technology in sight that could offer an explanation for what was going on. Could he have been taken, maybe he was under some type of hallucinogen. Megatron was captured once by humans and kept for years. Who's to say they hadn't improved their systems. The fact that you knew him was enough proof.

"I'm not working with those soldiers back there if that's what you're thinking. Optimus Prime sent me."

That got him. He froze.

"That's not possible. Optimus would have mentioned you. My orders were to cut all ties with the humans."

"There are things he kept to himself, Ratchet. He was trying to protect you, all of you. It was a contingency plan. Optimus, he saved my life a few years ago. Not just me, but my family. I wanted to find a way to repay him, and this is what he asked, so I did it."

"I refused to believe that Optimus trusted a human, especially in these times. " He grunted as he forced himself to his feet, leaning on the wall as he held his bruised stomach. "

"Your kind betrayed us. I warned Prime that they were primitive irrational beings, but he didn't listen. Now the very planet we swore to protect has turned its back on us."

"Despite what you've been through, we're not all heartless. If I wanted to hurt you don't you think I would have just left you back there. Why would I go through so much effort to save you?"

"I've given up trying to figure out what drives the human mind." He was clearly in pain, but he refused to stay on the bed. "

"Listen, you're safe here. They can't find you. Right now you're just like any other human, and that bastard lockdown is gonna get a nasty surprise when Optimus finds him. He told me to lay low. He's gonna to stop this, make it so you guys won't have to run and hide. "

"You're naive if you believe that, human."

"Stop calling me human! I have a name."

"I address my comrades by their names. You are neither a friend nor a comrade. Release me at once."

"If I take off those cuffs they'll find you, would you quit being stubborn and just sit the hell down and HEAL!!" your yell startles him, not the volume, but the force that makes his body drop back on the bed. He stares up, now more shocked than when he woke up and realized his body was of flesh and not metal. 

The thin cuffs on his wrists glow a bright blue, one that is reflected in your eyes. With clenched fists, he can see your agitation from here. He's still trying to put together what just happened. You somehow subdued him. What's worse is that the energy that rushed through his body felt cybertronian. But that made no sense.

"She's a human."

How could you possess a power that was distinct to only his kind.

"You aren't a regular human." His observation makes you blink. When your eyes reopen, the light is gone. You're a little calmer now.

"Damn it."

That was not intentional.

"I'm sorry." You're trying to prove that you aren't a threat, not give him more reasons not to trust you.

"Please just..just stay here and heal." Ratchet is now more confused. Why are you pleading for his well being? "I promised him I'd save you. Will you just let me try."

Ratchet isn't sure what to say now. As it stands, he can't leave. His body barely survived staying upright. Now with the discovery of your mysterious abilities, he has very little say in the matter.

"Do what you want, human."

This is no longer within his control

[transformersprimefan1]

Hidden in Plain Sight

(Scarlet’s POV)

I woke up slowly to someone rubbing my back, making me look out the window, it was still dark out. I looked at whoever was rubbing my back and saw a pair of glowing eyes, one blue, the other pink. Suddenly, a flash of lightning lit up the room, allowing me to see whoever it was. It was a young woman, maybe 5 or 6 years older than myself with white hair, pale skin, and the same birthmark as me, only not on her back, but her forearm. We remained locked in eye contact before the thunder broke our stare, making me turn on the light and sit up, but she was gone. I looked around to see if there was anything out of place, but there was no sign of a break in, making me sit on my bed.

Must of having heard me moving, there was a knock on my door, making me stand up and open it, and I was surprised, it was Dreadwing. “I heard you moving, ScarletRose. Is everything alright?” he asked as I let him in. “I’m confused.” I admitted, making him confused. “What are you confused about?” he asked, making me sit down, and start to explain. “I woke up to someone rubbing my back. I saw her eyes, and when the lightning struck, I saw her.” I explained then looked at Dreadwing who looked shocked, “I think I saw my mother, Dreadwing.” I said before rubbing my arm as Dreadwing sat next to me. “See had the same mark as me, only right here.” I pointed to the middle of my left forearm before I looked down, “I just wish I knew what she looked like as a bot, then I might have an idea of what she would look like as a human.” I admitted, looking at Dreadwing, was still shocked. “The alarm didn’t go off, so no one got in.” he said before looking at me. “Do you believe in spirits?” he asked, making my nod, “You might have seen her spirit in human form.” he explained, this time shocking me.

Dreadwing left and I began to get ready, finishing right as Shockwave began making breakfast. “You’re up early. Any logical reason?” he asked, “I was awoken by an apparition. I swear I saw my mother. Only I don’t know what she actually looks like.” I explained as I sat at the table, placing my bags next to me on the floor. The others all slowly came into the dining room, eating breakfast before Optimus and Megatron took us to school again, but today, it was raining. As I was about to hope we pulled out of the parking spot, I spotted the woman again, but this time, she was with a man who had red hair, blue eyes, and pale skin as well. I stared at them when lightning flashed, and they were gone. I shook it off, but it was a bit unnerving, the fact that I might be seeing both of my parents now. We got to school and we jumped out of the trucks and ran into the school, trying to avoid getting drenched. 15 minutes before classes were about to start, we waited in front of our lockers, when lightning struck again and the power went out, the thunder instant, making Raf hold onto me and Bumblebee as many other students screamed and yelled out of shock. I rubbed his back when I saw the glowing eyes out of the corner of my eye, making me snap my neck towards them, there was the man and woman again. ‘Who are you guys?’ I thought when they suddenly both smiled and disappeared. The lightning and thunder became more constant, making me grab Miko’s hand. The constant sound was starting to scare me for some reason. Teachers and staff came out into the halls and we were surprised when they said school was canceled and that we either had to get our parents here or they would drop us off. The 6 of our phones buzzed and we took them out, we still had service with the power out?! [We are on our way to pick you up, stay put.] Optimus texted, making us show a teacher, who then let us wait by the door, but not to close if something were to happen. About 40 minutes later, Uncle Optimus and Uncle Megatron pulled up, making us dash outside and get into the trucks before closing the doors and driving away. “Primus, What is with the weather today?” Uncle Optimus grumbled quietly, making Jack, Miko, and myself all shrug as we looked out the windows as it poured outside. There was a lot of traffic and we were back at the mansion within another 40 minutes. We all dashed inside and when we were met with the cool air of the mansion, Raf began to shiver. Uncle Ratchet took one look at us and pointed down the hall, “Go get changed before you catch a cold, all of you! I’ll start the fire place.” he said, looking at Optimus and Megatron who held their hands up in surrender.

I quickly changed into warm pajamas and brushed my hair before rushing to Raf’s room to make sure he was alright. Right as I entered after he said “Come In”, he sneezed. Raf was sitting on the ground, in a ball, not moving, while shivering. “Raf! You need to change, techno-organic or not, you need to take care of your health!” I said as I grabbed a towel from his bathroom and began to dry him off. He finally changed into warm clothes, but he was still shivering and his lips were turning blue with a slight neon tint. I wrapped him in a blanket and carried him down the hall, stopping by Miko’s room, but she was already gone. I rushed into the living room where the others spun around when they saw the youngest member in a blanket in my arms. “Uncle Ratchet, his lips were turning blue!” I exclaimed, making him and Ms. June rush over and take Raf from my arms. They took his temperature then got him close to the fire as I sat next to Miko. After 10 minutes, Raf stopped shivering and color returned to his lips, making us all smile before Uncle Optimus turned to me. “Scarlet, may I talk to you for a moment?” he asked quietly, making me nod and get up and follow him to my room.

We sat on my bed and looked at me. “Both Dreadwing and Shockwave have brought something to my attention. I take it, you know what that is, yes?” he asked, making me nod and look down, “It’s not only her now, when we were leaving for school and when the power went out at school, I saw two people. A man and the same woman.” I explained before looking up at my uncle, “Uncle Optimus, am I going crazy?” I asked, making him put his hands on my shoulders and shake his head, “No, no you are not.” he looked at my necklace “Have you ever thoroughly inspected your necklace?” he asked, making me shake my head. “No, I only take it off to shower and swim, other than that, I don’t take it off.” I explained, making him nod then hold out his hand. “May I?” he asked, making me think for a moment before I took off my necklace and gently placed it in his hand. Uncle Optimus inspected it, then smiled, holding it flat in his palm. “Watch.” he said, making me watch his hand and he closed it around the charm then opened it and a screen appeared with many pictures. Out of curiosity, I clicked the first on, it was an all white femme with one blue eye, one pink eye. “She has the same eyes as the woman!” I exclaimed, before Optimus clicked the next, it was a video, the femme looked very weak in it as she held a new born baby cybertronian. {Hello ScarletRose, I am your carrier Whiteout and you know your sire Blaster.} the femme said before a hand came into view and a males voice spoke {Hey Baby Doll.} he said, making me giggle as I wiped away tears forming in my eyes. Whiteout then began to speak again {Sweetspark, I know you are probably wondering why I’m not with you, well … Carrier was sick sweetie, but do not fret. It wasn’t the birthing process that is going to offline me, it’s a condition I have where my spark isn’t in the right place and doesn’t beat properly.} She began to cough, making the camera go haywire for a moment until she calmed down, now Blaster (who is holding the camera) is next to Whiteout, holding her other hand. {My little femme, you will grow up and be strong and while you may not be able to see me, I’ll be watching over you from the well of allsparks. I love you and good luck.} White said before kissing the little baby’s forehead that was in her arms before the video stopped. Uncle Optimus then closed the screen and put the necklace back around my neck. “They are watching over you, little one.” he said, wiping away my tears before he stood up, “Come, let’s join the others for a movie.” he said, making laugh, wiping away the last of my tears and following him back to the living room where Miko and I snuggled together under a blanket as Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children began to play.

Co ty na to pytanie 25 menace timeline Jak by się dało ?

This ask game

I'm not really taking the menace timeline seriously. Again. It's a shitpost. I'll do...Peaceful Timeline. When baby Maria is sick and Megatron gets the medicine for her. For more context: Part 3: What happens between Marley and Eldia

The old woman, a herbalist, sat quietly in her stall, examining the herbs she had just recently collected. These were good, and they were a rarity during this time of year. She could definitely trade something good for it. The herbalist paused her examination when she felt a shadow loom over her. She glanced up to see a man younger than her, but not by much, staring her down with those piercing red eyes.

"Ah," the herbalist began setting the leaves down, "The odd man from the odd family who lives in the woods. What do you want?"

"Are you a doctor?" he asked rather bluntly.

The herbalist raised an eyebrow at such a phrase. Doctor? The man seemed to realize his mistake and correct himself. "Healer? Specialist?"

"I suppose healer would be the better term," the herbalist shrugged, "You are looking for medicine."

"Yes," the man answered bluntly, "I need medicine for a fever? Do you have something like that?"

"In exchange for what?" the herbalist demanded, "It takes time for me to find my herbs. I expect payment, and it doesn't look like you carry anything."

The man grimaced at her assessment causing the herbalist to cross her arms. "You have no money, so go."

"I am not asking." The man rested an arm on the table and leaned forward, but the herbalist was not impressed by the intimidation.

"I have lived my life fully," the herbalist declared, "I only hope to go peacefully."

The man was taken aback by her response as she stood up. "But I'd prefer if you leave now. I don't take kindly to being threatened in my own shop."

"What else could you possibly seek?" the man demanded.

"You don't know my trade, so you can't help me gather supplies or tools," the herbalist reasoned as she examined her finger nails, "Besides, a simple fever does not seem too severe for my medicine."

"...It's the child," the man explained. The herbalist paused and glanced up at the man, surprised to see that confidence and bravado being replaced by...fear.

"It's been crying for hours. Days," The man emphasized, "It doesn't accept food, it can't talk yet, so it can't explain what's hurting. All I know is that it as a fever and nothing else! And it's been chaos trying to figure out what's going on! We have been trying to figure it out and the child's mother is terrified that her child will die on her! So frankly, healer, I'm quite desperate!"

His outburst caught the attention of a few others, but he didn’t seem to care. “I just can’t understand why she would care so much about such a weak and defenseless thing.”

The herbalist was actually annoyed at such a statement. “It’s called a mother’s love. You spend months growing a child inside of you, having it tear your body apart, and you think a mother would let her child die after all that?”

“…I still don’t understand,” the man confessed rather solemnly, “But…I am trying to. I have nothing else.”

The herbalist looked down at the leaves she acquired before looking back at the man’s desperate face. “I have house work that needs to be done and I can’t do it on my own. My old bones won’t allow me. But you seem to be a strong fellow. If I give you these,” she picked up the leaves, “along with a few other items, and the baby is well, you return to me, and you will fix my home and do whatever else I ask. Is that clear?”

“…if your methods work, I will forever be in your debt,” the man declared.

========

Ymir was trying her best not to cry as she rocked her daughter in her arms. Meanwhile, Optimus, in holoform, dipped a cloth in warm water over a fire before wringing out the water that was in excess. The Prime walked over to the child and placed the cloth against the child’s forehead to try and cool her down, but she still kept on crying. Ymir felt a few tears escape her eyes while Optimus only grew more concerned. They didn’t know what was going on and it terrified them both.

The door to the cabin suddenly opened, and the two saw Megatron rush to the fire place. The former warlord opened a small bag and placed some crushed up leaves in the pot. Megatron then turned to the child and kneeled down in front of Ymir. He pulled out a small orange petal from the same bag and showed it to Ymir.

“This should help bring her fever down,” Megatron explained.

Before Megatron could put the petal in the child’s mouth, Optimus grabbed his wrist and yanked it back.

“Where did you get those?” Optimus demanded.

“From a healer in the town,” Megatron explained calmly, “Prime, we don’t have time for this.”

Optimus still gave Megatron a look of warning and mistrust, and…Megatron couldn’t help but feel guilt. There was too much that happened between them, and Megatron had caused so much trouble and pain for the Prime. It was hard to get over that, which is why things were so tense between them now. Why would Optimus put the fate of this child in his hands?

"Optimus, I know you have no reason to trust me. But please...”

Optimus was stunned to see a rather pleading expression in Megatron’s eyes. “I'm asking you to anyway."

Before Optimus could muster up a response, Ymir reached out and grabbed the hand holding Megatron’s wrist. Both titans turned to her, and they saw those teary eyes practically begging Optimus to let go and let Megatron use the medicine. Optimus glanced back at Megatron, and the former warlord nodded his head. Optimus then willed himself to let go of his wrist, and Megatron immediately took a small petal and placed it in the child’s crying mouth. Ymir helped her child chew and swallow it, and Ymir was stunned at how effective it was. She placed a hand against her daughter’s head, and gasped when she felt her fever go down. The daughter had stopped belting her heart out, and her crying was reduced to whimpers.

Tears of joy streamed down Ymir’s face as she kissed her daughter’s head. Optimus turned to Megatron in surprise, but the other titan stood up and grabbed a cup from the cabinet drawer. Megatron walked over to the fire and filled the cup with water and those leaves.

“Let this cool off and have her drink it,” Megatron explained to Optimus, “This should help whatever’s in her stomach.”

“A-alright.” Optimus could only muster. Megatron was actually helping save the child, and Optimus was trying to process it. Meanwhile, Megatron was exhausted. He needed to deactivate the holoform and rest. As Megatron was prepared to do show, Ymir suddenly leaned forward and wrapped an arm around Megatron while she held her daughter in the other. She cried tears of relief in his chest, but Megatron couldn’t will himself to move. He was as still as stone. Megatron groaned a little before awkwardly patting Ymir’s back.

=====

A few days later

The herbalist sighed, bending down to rub her feet before picking up her basket and returning to the town. She sorted through the leaves, mushroom, and flowers she picked up before sighing. She needed to teach a few others how to identify these herbs and what’s good for medicine and what’s not. She’s quite old, and few here in this small town knew her methods. It would be terrible if something terrible happened once she passed on.

As the herbalist arrived at her stall and placed the basket on the table, she noticed someone…sitting in front of her stall. She peered over, and was stunned to see the man from a few days ago, practically guarding her stall from anyone that was passing by.

“You’re scaring off my customers,” the herbalist couldn’t help but note. The man careened his head to her.

“You weren’t here. Anyone here could have stolen your goods,” The man explained.

“Most of the people here are modest,” the herbalist explained.

“Key word being most.” The man stood up on his feet to face her, “The medicine worked, so I’m here to fulfill my end of the bargain.”

The herbalist smiled in relief. “I’m glad. I wouldn’t want to hear about a baby dying so soon.”

The man only hummed in response. “So what remedial task do you need me to fulfill?”

The herbalist smirked. “A broken roof and window.”

“Child’s play.” The man cracked his neck.

“I also told others in the town that you’d be willing to help them with their homes.”

Megatron blinked in surprise as the woman picked up her basket and walked down the road. “YOU WHAT?!”

(Megatron got tricked. Lol. Anyway you are more than welcome to ask from that list if you want.)

Mutual Enduring

Hello everyone! Today on the wavewave agenda we have a whump two-shot! With a side of humanformers (they're still from cybetron and age like in canon but they look and act human) Slightly warning for mentions of torture and some sexy stuff.

Continuity: Fan continuity (mostly a mix of IDW 1 and TFP)

@wavewave-week

Wavewave Week- Day 4- Power/Affection

He hated the feeling of cold metal against his skin, the needles, the darkness, the restraints that caused his arms and legs to go numb, but most of all he hated remembering.

The memories of the night the empurata was performed on him were memories he purpusely supressed, the only thing m he couldn't be rid off was the pain, at least not without medication.

Both he and Breakdown had been captured by MECH, neither could manage to escape or free themselves. It was an illogical outcome, that humans had gotten the best of two Cybertronians, but alas his current predicament was proof that it was possible.

He didn't know where Breakdown was, or if he was still alive, but if he managed to escape he'd look for him. He owed the man that much after he took a hit for him.

"Shockwave!" A female voice called out. He heard an alarm sound along with footsteps and gunfire. Just what was happening outside his room.

His was fading in and out of consciousness, but he could see the wall falling apart. Some people had taken down the door.

The voice from before called him again, it was louder and more distinct, as he could now recognize.

"Monochrome?" He muttered. His throat was raspy from dehydration and he couldn't speak properly.

"Yes it's me. Don't worry we're here to get you out."

"Breakdown, is he...?"

"He's safe, he's the one who told us you were still here and alive." he recognized Knockout's distinct voice as the medic began undoing his restraints. He didn't sound too chirpy however. "Just what did they do to you?!"

He couldn't answer, but deduced the man was asking about the peeled skin of his arms, or the scars on his chest. Even if the room was more illuminated now, he still couldn't properly discern the silouttes of his comrades.

"We'll carry you out. Just hold on until we get to the Nemesis. Please Shockwave! Please try to hold on!"

He could feel her tears falling on him. Why? Why would she cry for him? Why would anyone cry for him? They both carried him away from the building, setting the place ablaze as they escaped.

Outside it was nighttime, the stars looked so tiny from here, or maybe that was his vision failing him again.

There were more voices in the distance, getting closer. Obsidian, Strika, even Breakdown was there although he sounded much different. There was one voice however he was not expecting, at least not in such a desperate manner.

Soundwave's melodic voice was so strained, he was asking a myriad of questions in rapid fire to both Knockout and Monochrome. The medics had to calm him down as everyone finally headed towards the arriving Nemesis.

Shockwave's conciousness was slipping, the last thing her remembered was holding onto Soundwave's hand as he was weekend away to the medbay.

***

Soundwave has never felt as powerless as he did at this moment. Well, except perhaps for the time he found Shockwave after his empurata.

Both tragedies had been similar. The man he loved was covered in blood and in desperate need of care. The first tragedy he'd survived, but forgotten who he was before it, what he had before being turned into an emotionless man who simply cared for logic. The second was still unfolding, and all Soundwave could do was pray that he survived. Even if he changed once more, even if that small spark of remembrance was gone.

"Why is it taking so long?!" He asked, throwing the glass he was holding to the wall, where it shattered to bits.

Rumble and Frenzy both looked surprised but didn't question it, Laserbeak and Buzzsaw had fallen asleep, while Ravage and Megatron had just arrived at the scene.

"Soundwave stop!"

He froze upon hearing Megatron yell. The tall man also looked to be worried, but no one could tell for certain.

"I'm concerned for Shockwave's health as well but stressing like this won't help anyone. He's receiving medical attention, all that's left to do now is to wait.

When he's well, he'll need support, especially yours. You must be in good health as well."

He nodded, still nervous and mad. His superior must've noticed as he pulled him into a hug. While they were close he knew Megatron was not the type to be affectionate in public. He returned the hug, holding back the tears and simply letting himself go.

It too a while for the two to separate. Ravege then took over comfort duties and purred as he nuzzled his friend. Soundwave picked him up and pet him as he waited outside the medbay. After what seemed like an eternity, Monochrome came out of the room, her scrubs were covered in blood but she was smiling.

"He's okay. His organs were fine and all we had to do was place some skin grafts and rehydration serum. You may see him now if you like, he'll be up soon." The dark skinned woman yawned. "I however will be going to bed."

"Go, I'll join you soon enough." Megatron told her.

She nodded and left. His superior turned to look at him. "Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, it's fine. Go with your wife, I'm sure she's tired after all of this, and so are you. Thank you sir, and please thank Monochrome on my behalf too.

Megatron nodded before leaving. Rumble and Frenzy took care of the pets before he headed inside, hoping Shockwave wouldn't forget even more.

***

The two people he first saw were Knockout and Breakdown. The medic was changing his gloves and coat while Breakdown spoke to him from his bed. His tanned skin was covered in bandages, and he wore an eyepatch. He soon noticed that Shockwave was awake.

"Shockwave! You're awake!" Breakdown beamed. "I'm glad you're okay. It seems like we'll be matching now." He joked as he pointed to his eyepatch.

How? How could he endure such torture and still be smiling like that? It was one of the many questions his research wouldn't answer.

"It's satisfactory to know you were rescued and alive. Thank you for your concern Breakdown."

"Anytime."

Knockout walked over to his side. "May I give you a quick check up now that you're awake? I have to know if you have any lingering pain."

He would've laughed but he didn't have the energy to be sarcastic at the moment, he simply nodded and let the medic examine him.

Someone else came into the room, it was Soundwave. His blue hair was a mess and his eyes looked as if he'd been crying. Neither Breakdown nor Knockout seemed surprised.

"Medically you're fine. Don't take off these bandages in at least two days, they're waterproof and soft so they'll allowed you to sleep and bathe, if you don't have anything else you need me to look at you should be good to go."

Shockwave nodded and tried to stand, but he would've fallen down face first had Soundwave not picked him up. "I'll carry you."

He didn't protest as the other man carried him away or when they arrived at Soundwave's room instead of his lab.

"I volunteered to care for you. Tomorrow you can go to the lab, but tonight you should rest. I'll ready a bath for you and make you food."

He stayed silent and seated on Soundwave's bed as the blue haired man ran around the room. He put his sons and pets to bed and was now serving him dinner.

Why was he always so caring? The two of them knew eachother for milenia, Soundwave was the only person he remembered after the shadowplay and empurata experiments performed on him, yet no matter how hard he tried to remember he couldn't recall anything else. Were they once close? He couldn't say, but that seemed like the most likely hypothesis.

"Food's ready."

"Soundwave."

"Yes? Is anything wrong? Do you want something else? Maybe you'd rather take the bath first, sorry I can reheat the soup after, no worries."

"No no! I'm fine. I just ...I must ask you a question."

"Yes?"

"Why do you care so much for me? Our fields of work are vastly different, as are our social circles and our personalities yet you constantly look out for me...You're also the only person I can remember from my old life. Why is that? Can you give me an answer?"

"I can, but not now. We can talk before we sleep. I promise."

He decided to trust his comrade. After eating and taking a bath he was ready to speak with Soundwave. He sat beside him on the bed waiting for him to speak.

Soundwave was trembling, as if he was terrified of speaking. Shockwave was not good at dealing with emotional people but somehow he knew what to do.

His hands fell upon Soundwave's fair face, their red gaze was full of tears but he didn't look away. Soundwave placed his hand over his tenderly.

It seemed he was finally ready to answer him.

***

"I love you. I've loved you for centuries. Before the war happened and you were tortured, we were sparkmates... Then you were taken from me, and I thought I'd spend my life pinning for that version of you, but I didn't, because I love you still. Even if you don't remember, even if you're more alligned with logic than emotion, even if you don't love me back. I still love you Shockwave."

It wasn't in his nature to be surprised, but he would've never expected this answer.

It made sense, he'd seen how the couples of the Nemesis acted, or even human pairs. The fact that despite their distance Soundwave was so caring towards him, or that he'd be the only one his mind refused to forget. Even now, he seemed to know what the other wanted without voicing it.

Soundwave thought he'd faint when he felt Shockwave's lips over his. He'd always been a greedy kisser, even in their youth. He'd sometimes surprise Soundwave with a deep kiss before parting ways, other times he'd simply seduced him with his soft voice and clever hands.

After letting go they both took a moment to intensely memorize the other's face. Shockeave hadn't changed much save for his missing eye, which was now made of glass, and the scars upon his neck and arms that hadn't faded in centuries. Soundwave looked almost the same, but his built was stronger and he was now as tall as Shockwave.

"You taste as good as I remembered." He whispered. "I've missed you."

"Soundwave, are you certain I'm what you desire? There are other cons who'd give you the affection you crave, the affection you deserve. I don't know if I'll ever be the man you first fell in love with."

"Shockwave, I'm certain that you're the only one I want. Whether you're a kind senator or a serious scientist or a combination of both. I love every aspect of you."

That was all the confirmation he needed. He kissed Soundwave again, this time the blue haired man seemed to melt into the gesture, giving all control to him. Shockwave smirked as he gently bit Soundwave's bottom lip.

"Mmh! Seems like you haven't forgotten that."

"I've bitten you before?"

"Many times. You've left lots of marks. Not that I'm complaining."

Soundwave gently placed Shockwave upon the pillows. "And while I love your bites, I think I'd prefer spoiling you with kisses."

He let Soundwave do as he pleased. As promised the spymaster kissed his lips, cheeks, neck and even his chest. After three days of torture, this was exactly what he'd needed.

"Soundwave, let me kiss you too."

His heart raced when Shockeave pulled him into a kiss. Soundwave felt the scientist hands tangled in his hair, he kissed every inch he could get his lips on, and wouldn't let go until they were both breathless.

Sleep was taking over for them both. Soundwave pulled Shockwave close, careful not to worsen his injuries. "Are you comfortable?"

"Very much so."

"Good."

"I could tell you craved this. Your desperate touch, it breaks my heart."

"You don't need to worry about that, Shockwave. I'm fine now that you're with me.

I'll take care of you. And once you're better we'll hunt down the humans who hurt you and Breakdown. I promise."

"That's comforting to hear. But all I desire now is to sleep by your side. I intend to give you more affection tomorrow."

Soundwave smiled. "I'd like that. Goodnight dear."

"Goodnight."

Shockwave was not used to sleeping, much less with another person by his side, but the beating of Soundwave's heart and the feel of his arms around him was enough to grant him the most peaceful sleep he had in centuries.

Natasha Romanoff x fem!reader

Warnings: +18, w/w, strap on, mommy kink, choking, oral sex, dom!reader and sub!nat, cheating

A/n: I dare someone to tell me to stop writing mommy kink. Do it.

pls rb doe 

“Don’t bother me with that Nathan, ask the help to watch you. You should be in bed too, why are you even here? Y/n come take him.”

Those words from Mr. Smith will never not hurt. It’s really sad to think about but there is a plus to these words. 

You’re fucking his wife. 

His beautiful, gorgeous, sweet wife; Natasha. Natasha Romanoff was a woman who could never be stopped but did for an idiot man. Ian Smith, there’s nothing special about him other than his bank account. Mr. Smith doesn’t know about you and Natasha, he’s rarely home to begin with to suspect anything. Which isn’t a bad thing, you enjoy having domestic moments with Natasha and her kids. 

But, you’re just the help. 

You help her with the kids, and you do the chores. You’re a nanny, essentially. 

No matter how much you love Natasha, she can’t love you back. Remember that. 

It all started when you found Natasha crying in the bedroom. Ian had told her that she was a bad mother. Which is untrue, Natasha is the best you’ve ever met. She’s caring, very protective and generous. Every night she insists on reading her two kids a bedtime story, she does the normal mom stuff too. She’s just perfect, she’s supportive of Nathan and Jonah; her twin boys. Both of them are angels, adventurous too. Jumping on every couch, exploring every cabinet, hiding in every closet. 

Nathan frowns, his shoulders fall and you walk closer to him, It hurts to see Mr. Smith dismiss his son, it pains you. All Nathan wanted to do was show him his drawing of a giraffe. You pick him up and carry him away. His arms are limp, the sadness radiates off him. You take him back to his shared bedroom with Jonah. You enter the room and Jonah is fast asleep, you place Nathan down. 

You start to hear the bickering between Mr. Smith and Natasha and you decide to go close the door. You sit on the edge of his bed. He tosses the paper to the end of his bed and curls up into a ball. You frown and you reach for the paper. 

“This is really good, Nathan. You get better every day, wow. What’s the giraffe’s name?” You say. Nathan relaxes and pulls his covers up to him. 

“Megatron,” Nathan responds with a smile. 

“Interesting, is he a transformer?” You ask. Nathan shifts in his bed, he lays on his back and yawns. 

“No, just a giraffe.” The bickering gets louder and turns into arguing. You hear a door slam and heavy, fast footsteps. 

“-but a transformer giraffe sounds cool too,” Nathan says. 

“Yeah, yeah it would.” You say as you ruffle his hair and kiss his cheek goodnight. 

“Did you brush?” You ask as you get off Nathan’s bed. 

“Yes, Jonah made me,” Nathan grumbles. You chuckle and wish him goodnight. You press a kiss on Jonah’s cheek as well and you quietly exit. You hear soft cries from the master bedroom and it could only be one person. You wish you could kill Ian, he’s such an ass. Natasha and the boys deserve so much better. 

You enter Natasha’s room, knowing she’s getting ready for bed too. You see Natasha sitting on her vanity, she spots your reflection and smiles. You walk closer to her back, but not too close; a respectable amount. Her face is red and her cheeks are wet. 

“Natasha, is everything okay?” You ask. Natasha stares at herself in the mirror, there’s no emotion in her eyes. It’s like she’s dead. 

“Na-” 

“I want you, Y/n. Y/n, not the help,” Natasha says. Still staring into the mirror. 

You nod. 

Shit like that makes your heart jump. She says she wants you, princess gets everything she wants. 

“Beg.” Natasha turns her body to face you. 

“Please Y/n, I want you. I want you so bad. I want to feel you in me, please fuck me,” Natasha pleads. The wetness between your panties grows. 

“Get on the bed and don’t touch yourself,” You command. Natasha peels her thin pink robe off in front of you, in an attempt to tease you. You pull her to you and smack her ass, she moans. You kiss her. 

She tastes like cherries, smells like flowers and her skin is so smooth. She pulls away and tells you where the strap is. 

Eating Natasha out is so good. Her screams are so loud, she’s so sensitive too. Her tits bounce with every flick you do. She came at least three times so far, you think it’s time now to enter her. 

You get on your knees and Natasha is below you, whimpering and glowing with sweat. She looks at the dildo and bites her lip. You take the dildo and lower your head to spit on it. You stroke the toy and lower yourself to kiss her. Her tongue is skilled, she knows how to use it. You enter her, slowly. She moans into the kiss and wraps her arms around your waist. 

You’re halfway in her cunt and she reaches down to your ass and pulls you farther into her. She groans. 

“Mommy wants to be fucked hard, huh?” You ask as you rock into, increasing the speed. 

“Yes, yes,” Natasha says breathlessly. 

The bed creaks with every thrust, your hand wraps around her throat. 

“Mm. do you like that? You like being choked, play with your clit. I wanna see you cum,” you say. Her hand travels down her stomach and begins to rub herself. She hisses as you tighten the grip around her throat harder. You latch onto her nipple and start sucking on it too. You pound into her with your hand still around her throat. While you suck on her nipple.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck, Y/n! I’m gonna cum,” She screams. She increases the speed on her clit and the knot inside her stomach explodes with pleasure. You let go of her throat and slow your speed down, but still sucking on her nipple as she rides her orgasm out.

Her chest heaves. You pull away from her chest, you stop moving in her. You look down at her while she’s in her euphoric moment. 

The feelings bubble, your heart soars and then breaks. Natasha shifts for you to get off. You pull out and she leaves from the bed, grabbing her phone. She calls Ian. 

You’re only a nanny. This is wrong. She doesn’t love you. You’re the help, like Mr. Smith said. 

Just the help.

[felswritingfire]

Thoughts on Leona Kingscholar? And Ruggie? I like them both! Especially that feral little gremlin!

That's all the damn warning you get, Anon. You just opened a can of worms that you had no idea about.

ALSO, FOR THE REST OF YOU THERE'S GONNA BE FUCKING SPOILERS- LIKE, B I G T I M E SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 2 AND RUGGIE'S B-DAY-

So, pls watch yourself UwU

Ok, so, confession time: Ruggie is hands down one of my favorite boys. He is my bread and butter- my cinnamon apple, if you will. I just- ABSOLUTELY L O V E HIM.

If he told me to walk of a cliff, I'd do it. He'd just have to ask me- he wouldn't even have to use Laugh with Me on me. I'd just- fucking- Y E E T myself,

And now that I know about Rug's backstory??? Like??? Oml, Granny, I'll kill for you too, you beautiful woman. Also I relate a bit too hard to Rug growing up in poverty. Like, can understand why he's such a sneaky bitch. It's hard when you don't know when your next meal is coming. Also he's a genuinely sweet guy?? Like, once you get past the trust issues and shit- like, what a baby I just-

I love him.

Easy. Simple. Ruggie Bucchi??? Absolutely adore- he's my discord icon. The first character I saw from this game.

And then we get to the fucking main show: Leona fucking Kingscholar himself.

I am about to make a lot of people either very pissed off or very emotional and either way, I'm just gonna fucking dump out EVERYTHING. So, sorry in advance.

So, I can write a 50 page essay on why this motherfucker pisses me off. MLA format with references.

The sheer audacity of this fucking man infuriates the shit out of me and I think the main reason is how the hell they presented his backstory. Because, on one hand: it is absolute shit he was pushed to the side and treated as second best compared to his older brother; on the other hand, the only glimpse we see of this is the servants whispering about him (which, again, that fucking sucks and they had NO right) when he was younger and then we immediately are presented with Ferena actually fucking being concerned about him after he wasn't at the party. Did he come in a little aggressive? Sure. But immediately after that he tries to talk to Leona and gets shut down, which, I understand has to do with his inferiority complex but the sheer audacity of this man- I fucking- he's presented to have this damn support system and yet he's too prideful to take it.

If we're supposed to feel sympathy (aside from our own experiences, because I know a very dear friend of mine who adores him and understands where he's coming from, so no- no shame in genuinely liking him- I just want to beat him up because he's such a dick), they royally fucked it up.

AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED IN HOW HE MANIPULATED ALL OF SAVANACLAW, TRIED TO FUCKING COMMIT MURDER ON A WHOLE OTHER DORM AND RUGGIE- LIKE, Y'ALL, HOW DO WE JUST GLOSS OVER THAT SHIT??? HE FUCKING TRIED MURDERING PEOPLE LIKE- Look, LeLe, I know you're angry about losing to Daisomnia all the time, but, man, fuck you. You're an absolute cock sucker and you do deserve to get punched and I will never forgive you for trying to turn fucking Ruggie into dust after you ripped away all the hope you gave to your entire dorm-

OH MY GOD-

MOTHER-

FUCKING-

ANOTHER REASON LEONA PISSES ME RIGHT THE FUCK OFF. HE'S RIDING HIS FUCKING PITY DICK SO FUCKING HARD THAT HE CAN'T EVEN SEE THE FACT THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE LOOK UP TO HIM. LIKE, FUCKING, GET OVER YOURSELF, YOU RICH FUCKING BITCH. YOU'RE THE FIRST ONE GOING DOWN WHEN I FUCKING FINALLY HAVE THE POWER TO STRANGLE THE RICH. LIKE, HE'S SUCH A BIG IMPACT ON PEOPLE, IN A GOOD WAY, BUT ALL HE DOES IS GO 'oh, boo-hoo, woe is me- woe is me-' LIKE-

SHUT UP.

SHUT UP.

YOU KNOW WHO SHOULD BE FUCKING SOBBING??? RUGGIE. RUGGIE DESERVED TO OVERBLOT. NOT YOU. THAT FUCKING BOY FUCKING PULLED MOST OF THE DAMN WEIGHT IN YOUR PLAN ALL BECAUSE HE THOUGHT YOU WERE IN THE RIGHT. YOU ABSOLUTE FUCK WAD. HE WANTED GOOD THINGS FOR HIS DORM AND YOU ABSOLUTELY WRECKED IT.

LILIA DESERVED TO SHIT ON YOU EVEN FUCKING HARDER. FUCKING PISS BABY. FUCK YOU. BASTARD. UGUGUGHDHGHGHGDJL

AND THEN- HE HAS THE FUCKING AUDACITY TO BE LIKE: "I'll do this again next year!" LIKE

BITCH

WHO IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?? I'LL FUCKING BREAK EVERY BONE IN YOUR LEGS, I JUST- RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHGHGHSDLKJFLKSDJFKLSDJFLKSDJF:LSDFJ

Off of that note, I am very proud of him in the third chapter for having a teaspoon of character growth and actually feeling guilty for what he did to Ruggie. Very proud of him there. NOW IF HE'D JUST GET OFF OF THE PITY TRAIN THAT'S BE FUCKING *chef's kiss* IMMACULATE.

Also, sorry, I am in firm belief that he is one of the people that has a canonical crush on MC and no, you can't convince me otherwise. Him, Floyd and Riddle. Those three so far. Absolutely am convinced. You can also argue Jack, he's so soft with us, but, I digress.

SO, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, DEAR:

I adore Ruggie and Leona, despite the fact he can go fuck himself- I do very much care for him and had a heart attack during the Camp event when he got kidnapped and I almost fucking cried. So, like, it's straight up an issue of me being the only person allowed to murder him, but I haven't decided when he dies- he's the Megatron to my Optimus Prime. You know, without all of the... tyrannical murder sjkdsflj;sd

Anyway, enjoy y'all's day- Leona stans, I do love you. But y'all got shit taste and I think I should say it (jk, but I will fight your husband istg)

The wooden waster clacked as it hit its partner, the two Jian bouncing apart along with their welders. The two returned to circling, their swords help on guard as they egged the other to strike first.

Nikk lunged, sword poised to strike as Daiyu smirked. The wooden blade came down hard, and for a heartbeat, Nikk worried if Daiyu would let it hit. But she moved so much faster than he could have seen, and his blade struck wood as she crouched, a bamboo Dao held to his throat.

“Too slow, old man”. Daiyu rose, taking a bow as Nikk mimicked the movement.

“I’m older by a month!”

“Says the guy who calls himself God online”. Daiyu took the blade from his outstretched hand, the two walking through the Kwoon to return their blades to the racks.

“You were there when I changed it!”. As fun as the Chinese woman was, she was equally infuriating, and she had a habit of knowing just what buttons to press. “You know, for someone named after a Black Jade, you don’t have any restraint, huh?”

“And for a guy whose name means winner, remind me how many rounds you’ve won?”

“Daiyu!”

“Just returning the compliment”. The doors to the Kwoon burst open, and standing in the shadow of the sun, Nikk’s father, Calum stood.

Under the dappled sun, a smatter of salt accented his pepper hair, slick back against his dark skin, the same colour he passed down to his son, his black hair and eyes however, Nikk inherited his mother's caramel locks and eyes instead.

At the sight of the man, both Nikk and Daiyu stopped dead in their tracks, and at the sight of the grim look on Callums face, they knew something was terribly, horribly wrong.

“Dad? What happened?”

“The online community you both are a part of, I know you have friends in it”

“This hasn’t been a problem before, Sir”, Daiyu inched closer to her friend, both wary and on edge. “Why is it now?”

“Because Miss Longwei. One of your friends, Mangoo, I believe, has gone missing”

“What!”, the two rushed after the man and his long strides, dodging pedestrians and the like as they rushed down the streets of Beijing, towards the black car parked a ways away. “You could have started with that!”

“When did she go missing!”

“And why are we being told like this?”

“Get in”. The three piled into the vehicle, Nikk's mother, Tia, driving shotgun. “As far as the Police and government know, you two were one of the last to speak with her before her disappearance”

“The military! Why is the military involved!”

“Maybe you should answer your phone?”, Tia gestured to the device buzzing like a thousand angry bees beside Nikk, who pulled the device away from his ear as soon as he answered.

“Don't you ever pick up! It's an emergency!”

“Hi BaseDrop”

“Hi 1000Mistaks”

“Do you know how worried we’ve been!”

“LanternLady?”, Hearing the usually calm voice scream through the distortion was…and experience, Daiyu decided quickly.

“Who else! The holy fucking spirit”

“Ok, can someone explain what’s going on? Mangoo’s missing and we’re, what? The last ones in contact with her?”, Nikk was quick to get the ball rolling and they zipped through the streets.

“Correct. Mangoo went missing thirty minutes away from Jasper Nevada and BaseDrop has something freaky to show everyone. Right?”

“Yeah, tell me you can see this-”

“Wait, where’s Tim-Tam? Shouldn’t he be here too?”

“See, God. That's problem A2”, they could hear Lantern take a breath, and attempted to brace themselves before the inevitable. “Nobody has been able to contact him since Mangoo went missing!”

“Ok, so Mangoo went missing…When?”

“Three days ago”

“Thanks, BaseDrop”, Daiyu began. “So Mangoo went missing three days ago, and now no one can get ahold of Tim-Tam. And we are the last ones in contact with both of them. Did I get that correct?”

“Pretty much. But I need to show you guys this”. They turned back to the phone, where BaseDrop was leading them through a throng of colourful hair and people, towards a clusterfuck of screens and diagrams. And in the centre of the madness, a video was playing, over and over again, of a dark monolith tearing a car apart and fishing a small shape out of it. “That's Mangoo! We don’t know what took her, but we know it took Tim-Tam too!”. The video switched, to now showing a lanky figure illuminated by a streetlamp, running madly from that same dark creation, before inevitably being swept up in its caging grasp. And then it turned to the camera, nodding almost menacingly. “Whatever it is, it seems to know just what it doing. And it can’t be a coincidence that it taken Mangoo and now Tim-Tam. Its targeting us”

“BaseDrop, What do you mean ‘It's targeting us’? Why would it target us?”

“I…I don’t know, but it's too deliberate to be a coincidence.”

Arcee sneered as she steadily backed up, right against the cliff face. She knew she could take on the vehicles aiming at her, but they hadn’t attacked yet, and she was curious. For every step she took, they moved, closing in a tight ring around her, pinning her to the rock with no way out.

Part of her fought against the restraint, desperate to fire into the cluster and continue firing until she was back at base. But another, much more stubborn part of her held back, restraint unbreakable as she glanced from side to side. The ‘cons were waiting for something, maybe someone.

And then the indistinguishable sound of a groundbridge opened up and Arcee spun, blasters drawn as a familiar shape steeped out. At the sight of the Decepticon, Arcee bared her denta, blasters primed.

“Well, I certainly didn’t expect to find you here”, Arachnid sneered, “But regardless, Let's have some fun”. Arcee leapt to meet the Femme, aiming for her spark chamber as the spider laughed.

☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾

The cliff crumbled under Arcee’s weight, Jack trying his hardest to not slip from her servo as she groaned. Desperate to find purchase, she tried to dig her peds into the rock face, but the dirt crumbled away too easily, leaving her in a precarious situation.

And then, to make matters worse, Arachnid lorded over her, heels digging into the fragile earth as she smiled down at the Autobot. “Maybe if your darling pet survives the fall, I’ll display his head next to Tailgates”, Arcee felt her energy run cold at the prospect as Jack brave as ever, glared at the spider. “Won't that be lovely, hmm? A sweet little reunion and a pet to keep you company”

“Jack”, Her grip was slipping, and Arachnid knew it. “You need to run”

“Arcee! No! I won’t leave you!”

“Please”

“How cute”, Arachnid cooed, “But I getting bored”. Arcee screamed as one of the Decepticons claws clamped down on her servo, ripping her digits out of the dirt.

And then the Autobot was falling, falling, falling faster than she could calculate, Jack clutched tight to her chassis. No doubt her living metal was painful, but they had bigger problems. Fighting the wind, Arcee desperately tried to reach her communicator, angling herself so that when they inevitably crashed to the ravine floor, Jack would be protected. “Arcee to base! Please! Does anyone read me!”

“Arcee! Where-“

“I need an emergency groundbridge! Now!”

“Hold on. We’re pinpointing your location”

“Arcee! We need to hurry!”

And then the swirling vortex opened bellow her, swallowing them whole as Arachnid roared above her, diving down after her prey. But the groundbridge had already claimed them.

And when they crashed through the exit, slamming into a wall from their speed, they found themselves aboard the Nemesis, Soundwave, third in command of the deception armada, staring down at them, ever silent and every frightening.
