[ultra-phthalo]

Yup 1 AM

Oh my. Just got a message at 1am just now from my Dad that he is going through my stuff. And he couldn't be bothered to give me a warning.

I guess RIP nice clothes, art supplies and the 20 Lost light IDW books I bought from Scotland. He's begging that I should stop spending "money on material things." Buddy most of the suff I have are hand me downs and gifts. And he's claiming I haven't used it. I'm sorry how am I suppose to make a leather knife look used? Smear rust on it?? Snap pencils. Rip pages and leave things broken? The only reason my stuff is near to him is because I had to to rush out of the building I was staying at. And then never figured out how to plan bringing that stuff back into my new place. And I'm thankful he helped.

But it's so funny to think he is actually going to look at the Blitzbee art I printed off. hfdhgdfh. Silly.

I just kind of gathered art work of my fave pair and made a collage with the artists pfps and comments they made. These are the power point pages I made. Before printing them off.

I have a feeling I'm going to be losing things. He really dislikes machines. He says they are awful. That things should be natural. So he'll immediately judge me for my interests. And I have no way of telling what he would do with that. And ontop of that he wants me to be his perfect little Tarn.

OKAY, IF BLITZWING IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BIG SCARY BAD GUY, WHY THE HELL IS HE SO PRETTY!!! THE GLORIOUS RUBY RED OF HIS OPTICS CONTRASTING WITH HIS PALE BLUE ICY FACE, COMPLEMENTING HIS INSANE RANDOM FACE, AND JUST BRINGING OUT THE GORGEOUS PINK-RED OF HIS HOTHEAD FACE, I REFUSE TO BELIEVE HE IS THE ENEMY!!! I WILL LET THIS BOT STEP ON ME AND CALL ME NAMES IF IT MAKES HIM HAPPY!!!

I'M NOT SIMPING!! YOU CANNOT ARGUE WITH ME!!! BLITZWING'S BEAUTY SURPASSES ANY OTHER BOT!! I WILL HAPPILY DIE ON THIS HILL THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TEDTALK!!! GOOD DAY!!!

[unicrons-chaos]

In honour of Pride month, and being a genderless being, I wanted to discuss one of my favorite things in transformers.

When it comes to transformers, my favorite thing is the fact they technically have no true concept of gender and sexuality. All of that comes from organic planets that do. Such as with IDW and all the femmes being esentially trans by earth definition.

it shows that they're still problematic or crazy or all kinds of bad things since their whole thing is about war and fighting, but yet they're a species so accepting of things like love and what not(depending on media/fanfic).

And it's so funny to me, cause like you can have a ship of some silly gay old men and call them lesbians if you saw it fitting them. Cause like, with them, what even is a man?

[xxstarl1ghtxx]

a recreation of me as of a few minutes ago, finishing five faces of darkness finally:

'wow, they set blitzwing up for something interesting at the end of that! i wonder when he next shows up, i'm excited to see how they portray him i'm gonna go check tfwiki to see his next appearance'

... oh. thats it thats his last appearance in the original cartoon huh.

i physically cant find a reaction image that specifically captures my flavor of disappointment if anyone knows anything that gives this a satisfying conclusion: fanon, canon, whatever, PLEASE let me know i feel like its leaving me hanging so bad there's so much that could be done with this

Anonymous asked: 😶 which alter of Blitzwing is the most romantic

"Firemaker, believe it or not. Sure, he comes off as a brute, loud and domineering, but when we're alone together, he's a real charmer. I could ask him to jump into the pit itself and he'd do it for me. He calls me his queen-- his goddess, his inspiration." A smile tugs at the corner of their lips. "He says he could spend voors just holding me. I feel... safe with him."

Transformers Energy fluid AU

Request are open

Original taste au is by @callsign-relic

There's alot of stuff over transformers loving the taste of humans, from the sweat of their skin and arousal and this got me thing and I went down a rabbit hole of transformers transfluid taste like Energy drinks. And humans can't get enough of it,

Imagine you're going down on your favourite bot and getting a mouthful, and instead of it tasting God awful, you're just there like. 'Why does that taste like monster Mango loco?' The bots don't really take much notice to it until they realise their partner seems alot more interested in oral with them.

And on that thought, imagine both sides of it, humans tasting amazing to Cybertronians and vice versa.

With that out of the way I present to you my chart of what I believe different bots taste like.

Who do you think would be carrying in blitzbee relationship, and what are your headcannons for them?

I personally love Bee carrying their bitty.

My headcanons for the two

- Blitzwing lets Bumblebee know he won’t abandon him but he disappears for a long time before coming back. When he does Bee is already starting to show just a tad but its only because he knows what to look for. Their species carry for years, literally, so they have time to plan.

- Bee is actually more willing to leave his faction. He’s not dumb and he actually can think when he needs to. A sparkling changes a bot and Bee is no exception. He’s still fun, loving, likes pranks and messing with bots but he grows and lets his other traits shine far more. The traits he was embarrassed to reveal or let it be known he had.

- Blitzwing watches as the young reckless mech becomes less brash, less reactive to situations and more thoughtful. He’s quite clever and he’s pretty crafty about the well thought out lie he tells his prime on the night he plans to leave for good when Bee feels the medic Ratchet is suspecting something. Bee knew he couldn’t fool Ratchet for long he’s just happy he lasted a year without the other knowing.

- Bee says his goodbyes without the others knowing its a goodbye and takes a small pod and leaves Earths atmosphere before trashing the communicator and tracker after leaving a final message. He’ll return when the war is over and reveals he’s resigned. He doesn’t say why but Ratchet puts the pieces together. bee feels guilty and misses his friends a lot but his sparkling is more important.

- Bee and Blitzwing take time getting used to this new dynamic. Blitzwing isn’t used to Bee being quiet or reserved. Bee doesn’t know what to do and his emotions are all over the place. He goes from giving Blitzwing a lot of space because he doesn’t know what to do and doesn’t want to push to screaming crying in the berth when Blitzwing is out getting fuel and things they need for their new home on a neutral planet they found.

- neither are very good at dealing with not talking or touching the other and it all comes to a head when Blitzwing looks up to see Bee crying over the fuel he’s secretly craved that Blitzwing made to try making him happy. He doesn’t even remember getting up, all he realizes is that he’s holding his hummel who’s crying and struggling to vent while holding him. He’s not very good at soothing but curling around his hummel and petting his doorwings seemed to be the right thing to do.

- they have a very long talk after that. Insecurities and apologies on Bumblebee’s end for getting sparked, for his baffles failing, for Blitzwing being away from his faction and deemed a traitor. Blitzwing revealing he’s afraid to frag up his own sparkling with his fractured processor and the many terrible things he’s done in his past.

- They have so much reassurance they have to give the other while waiting for their sparkling to emerge. Blitzwing simply tells Bee how he believes he’ll make a good creator by how much he’s changed and matured almost effortlessly and yet he’s still the mech Blitzwing fell in love with.

- Bee tells Blitzwing that he’s never felt more loved and content, at home, than he has now with Blitzwing fixing their home, building things for their sparkling with such care and feeling his tanks when he thinks Bee is asleep. How careful he is not to disturb him and how he makes his favorite meals and cravings without fuss.

- bumblebee shows his affection by plopping his frame on Blitzwing’s lap and curling up falling asleep. He’s tired now and falling asleep on Blitzwing means they both get a good rest or Blitzwing uses his frame as a grounding tool and just rubs him or carries him around.

- Bee waits until Blitzwing is asleep to groom his wings or work on detailing them. He’s gotten extremely good at this and it helps Blitzwing have a full nights worth of sleep. It also helps remove almost seventy nine percent of his stress, anxiety and tension.

- they do things together in silence. They don’t seem like the couple that can spend a day together in comfortable silence but they can and do it often. Bee has come to appreciate silence but he does still wear headphones and listen to music. He doesn’t have much energy to burn since carrying makes him tired but when he does have the energy Blitzwing takes him out. They’ll go roller wheeling or flying while Bee burns rubber and max’s out his speed meter.

- they’re that we hold each other in the wash racks under the steaming coolant couple. They spend a lot of time in the wash racks reconnecting to each other physically and mentally.

- bee can actually cook pretty well and so can Blitzwing, they take turns cooking but Blitzwing likes to have Bee sitting beside him while he cooks.

- blitzwing loves listening to Bee sing to their sparkling when he has a heavy carrying bump. Its still early but the bitty is taking more after Blitzwing than Bee. The med bot they’ve been seeing has shown proof Bee isn’t in danger but he will be on bed rest earlier than most carriers.

- they talk to their sparkling with Blitzwing first thing in the morning and bumblebee throughout the day and both of them at night.

- their new life still feels odd but its a welcome odd they don’t want to give up. Bee still misses his friends but he would never risk his sparkling or future conjunx.

Hi! Saw your requests were open, may I ask for a TFA Optimus x fem reader hcs who was a queen of her species? (Hope this makes sense) ty!

Ya'll would probably believe that I love making women tall. Anyways, hope this fits!

Warning(s)/content: female reader, female pronouns and/or called female adjacent things

TFA Optimus with a female reader who's a queen(literally)

You first met Optimus when your pod had crash landed on Earth, having been seperated from the rest of your species

There were reports of strange sightings of an alien, and Optimus had gotten curious and went to investigate

Once you saw him, you immediately attacked him (you still apologize for it despite it being so long ago)

After a long battle, Optimus managed to somewhat calm you down by wearing you down and exhuasting you

Once you fully calmed down and realized he wasn’t going to hurt you, you explained your situation and how you got seperated from yhhe rest of your species, you were surprised when you were met with understanding and empathy, even after you had attacked him(he was very much so shaken, especially after you revealed you were the queen of your entire species)

Optimus escorted you back to the Autobot base, and introduced you to the others, who were understandbaly skeptical and suspicious

Youu managed to atleast gained some of their trust when you body slammed Lugnut into te ground when the ‘con was about to land a hit on Optimus later that day

Ever since that day you(technically) joined the Autobots, you never left Optimus’ side, always following him around like a very scary, very big guard dog who will bite

He was confused as to why you were always following him around, and thought this was some type of intimidation tactic for your species or that you were planning to murder him

He realized he was very wrong

Optimus glanced around the room awkwardly, avoiding your gaze as he knew you were hovering behind him right now. He had no idea what to do in this type of situation. What would anyone do when thhe queen of a species is possibly plotting your demise and/or downfall?

“Optimus” Optimus jumped slightly at the sound of your voice saying his name. “Yes? Did you, uhh, need something…?” He nervously said, still not meeting your gaze

“How long is it that you want to do this dance?” You said, making him meet your gaze in confusion. “What do you mean?” He asked. “I mean, how long will it be before I am able to officially court you and make you my king?” Optimus almost choked on air when you said those words

After that misunderstanding and a quick explanation, he found that he didn’t exactly mind the idea of your courting him

After going through the options, he eventually agreed for you to court him

To say you were excited was an understatement

Each day, you excitedly gave him small trinkets and objects you either founnd or created yourrself

What didn’t change was that you never left his side and continued being his “guard god” as Sari called you

Atleast he was able to take a break when one punch was all it took for you to send both Blitzwing and Lugnut flying

While you may have been too protective at times, you still respected him enough to let hiimm fight his on battles, though you worried a lot afterwards

Maybe being your king wasns’t such a bad idea

[moonlight-tmd]

Whenever I listen to Hooked On A Feeling by Björn Skifs I imagine a scenario of Blitzwing just being totally smitten by the little yellow autobot he just met and he's trying his best to court him.

He doesn't even hide it, he will just straight up ditch the entire fight to go talk and compliment the yellow mini and either the Autobots or Lugnut has to chase/drag him away.

The worst part is Bee is totally into it. He doesn't see why the heck this would be a bad idea, the big goofy weirdo(affectionate) just wants his attention and love. Said goofy weirdo is also not that bad-looking and strong. All of his oddities are just more of a lure to capture Bee's curiosity and interest.

Blitz would go and draw attention of citizen so the Autobots come and he'd sing and dance on a makeshift disco ring to flirt with Bee. When that fails he'd carve a giant ice statue of Bumblebee and present it to him and Bee will be so amazed. And when that fails due to the other Autobots dragging Bee away (as always) he'd show up to the emergency at the bridge Bee is at with Ratchet, stand nearby and hold up a sign saying "Please go on a date with me! <3" while blasting some love song he heard that the lyrics literally describe his feelings. Bee did jump off the bridge to get to him that time... unfortunately Ratchet had caught him and lifted him back up with the magnets before Blitzwing could catch him and run off.

Bee's teammates have to keep an eye on him at all times so he won't sneak out and go do something he'll regret. Bee is not happy that his friends don't want him to go and try be happy with another mech, he's very pouty whenever they tell him no he can't do that. So what if it's a 'con? He's never truly taken a side and only wears an insignia for the sake of having some leeway with other Autobots. All of them could be organics, monoformers, 'bots, 'cons or other-faction for all he cares. He just wants to have friends, doesn't matter what or who they are.

I imagine at one point in time on earth Bee took off the window in his room and has it on a latch or something so it opens like a hatch so he can sneak out via his room. He has a big trash container with a lid on the other side and few crates so he can climb down from the window. One time he manages to fool whoever is on the nightly watch over him so he won't sneak out (aka they check if he's still in his berth, this time he waited until the check pretending to recharge and then snuck out). He got out and drove to places he usually saw Blitz hanging out on patrols. He wasn't in any of those places but Bee waited some in one of them and sure enough Blitz did happen to come to that location that night. They were so happy to finally talk with each other properly without anyone hearing anything and interrupting every 3 minutes.

They hit it off near instantly. Bee is so curious and amazed by a unique mech like Blitzwing and Blitz is so enamored with Bee's personality and cute appearance. They dance, sing and laugh under the stars and it's like a love story come real. Of course, they meet few times in secret after that. Bee thinks about how to make others allow him to meet with Blitz... but just as he does that they hear a knock at the shutter and wouldn't you know, Blitzwing is standing there with big boquet of flowers and some small packages. Somehow he learned the location of where Bee lives by himself. Of course Bee grabbed his servo and led him in to play games together despite the others being very much startled by what the heck a 'con is doing in their house on a tuesday morning.

By that point they just give up all efforts to try to keep those two apart. It's pointless... At least Blitz doesn't seem as bad as they thought he was- he did bring them gifts to come into their favor after all.

So Blitz is a regular guest at the Autobot base. Bee is happy, Blitz is happy, and the others still keep an eye on them just in case. But they definitelly stopped being so paranoid over Bee.

[ultracreativelywritten]

Ohhh! Love the Armada-TFA crossover! I would like to see what's Lugnut's reaction whenever tfa Megatron praise or acknowledge armada Starscream? And also Starscream's reaction whenever tfa Megs praises him?

“Good job Starscream,” Megatron said as the seeker handed him another allspark shard. Lugnut glared, the seeker didn’t deserve the praise. He would have gotten the allspark shard if it weren’t for the Autobots showing up. He and Blitzwing did all the hard work, the seeker just grabbed the shard and escaped.

“Is that jealousy I smell?” Blitzwing’s random head said, “over a little Starscream clone?”

“Something’s strange about this one,” Lugnut growled, “he’s loyal. Too loyal.”

“Maybe this Starscream clone is just loyal,” Blitzwing’s Icy personality said as his head turned, “Starscream had to be loyal at one point. Maybe this clone is a personification of that.”

“Then why does this one like painting as well?” Lugnut said, “The personalities only have one component and they stick with it. Why does this one like painting and being loyal.”

Blitzwing paused and thought for a moment. Lugnut watched him, hoping that the triple changer wouldn’t switch personalities again. “Did Starscream even like art?” Blitzwing said, “he was always into science, he never spoke about anything artistic.”

“See! That’s suspicious!” Lugnut yelled, causing the seeker and Megatron to look at them.

“Shut up you dummy!” Blitzwing’s hot head personality yelled. Lugnut threw a punch at the triple chanager, and a fight commenced.

“Kissing you is a death wish”

---------------------------------------

“No” 

“Please~”

“No!”

These two have been going back and forth for five minutes. The small human staring up at the inky black face of their mechanical lover with pure and utter annoyance. Blitzwing stared down at them with his grin slightly falling at the corners as they continued to refuse him.

“But I want a kiss too! You kiss my other faces, why not me!” He pouted at them as they tilted their head to the side with an unamused expression etched onto their face.

They sighed before looking up at him “Kissing you is a death wish” their eyes glancing down at the jagged red grin that seemed to always be plastered on his face. He grumbled annoyed before a click noise sounded and his faceplate shifted to an icy cold expression.

“You are still that scared of kissing me?” He sounded almost hurt by the question. They shook their head with a light laugh before looking back up at him with a smile.

“Sorry Blitzy! It was just a prank. You can blame my friends for that one!” their laugh increased in volume as they spoke. Blitzwing blinked before letting out a small huff of air.

“For a moment I thought you were mad at me or something...” he heard them gasp from the palm of his hand before a small giggle escaped them. His faceplate shifted again, rounding back on the inky black face that was still pouting. They raised their hands gesturing to come closer. He brought them closer to his face before feeling them press their lips against his mouth. They pulled away looking at the drunk in love expression he had. He pressed his face to theirs in his own version of a kiss before a gasp broke from them again.

“Blitzwing! Ew! Did you lick me!?” He knocked his head back and laughed at their complaints before looking back down at them grumbling to themselves about how gross that was. His gaze softened; he knew they loved him. All of him.

[pastelpaperplanes]

So what are Papillon and Firstwatch's first impressions of Bee when they meet him for the first time. And what about in relation to Blitzwings love for him? You drew that whole thing about approval pending and I was just wondering if you could elaborate on that.

In reference to this post!

First impressions go a little like “An AUTOBOT? Really??” (predictable) to “...he is very small. How does he care for you?” (to which Bee is left SPUTTERING–even though it is a question insinuating a lack of ability to protect Blitz…ahemahem How does he cover Blitz’s back if he can’t even reach it?Hello??)

Firstwatch is wondering why this “Bumblebee” chooses to run his mouth so much. So many WORDS from such a small bot. So much noise. How does he make a good fighter if he cannot shut his mouth? (Jokes on you, old man, that motor mouth is a winning card)

Papillon can see the charm, but what does he bring to the table to provide and protect his boy? Certainly not claws, teeth, strength, eons of active battle experience (omg ouch Papillon slow DOWN) incredibly advanced weaponry, nor rank. Charm is great, fun even—but a solid relationship necessitates equal footing. “Is your Beebot ready for what it means to defend a lover in wartime?” (omfg. It’s BUMBLEBEE, Pap)

Any reservations that they may have about Bumblebee are quickly turned to assurances when they see how they make their boy come alive.

Bee can seem to flawlessly brighten up his stoicism, match and energize his enthusiasm, and appreciate and encourage his shamelessly loud passion. And hey, those alter egos all ADORE this small Autobot, so its three against two is this were up for a vote. So HA.

Physical prowess and battle expertise are not the sole defining traits of a defender or provider. Bee may not have fit even remotely what they thought would be their Boy’s pick, but he makes him happy–hell, he loves every single bit of him to pieces and brings out the sides of Blitz his parents have never seen so animated until now. Bee brings out the best in Blitzwing and that is what matters.

And also, just you wait, In-Laws. Bee is the strongest fucking buzz ball of untouchable energy on the battleground. He can and will whip you whether it be with anything like his weaponized smart mouth, stingers, or signature Kneecap Karate Chop. Kapeesh?

[yourplaywright]

Thinking about who would succeed Megatron as Decepticon leader

Like, okay, I have two very specific scenarios in mind: one where Megatron and Optimus are basically teleported away and locked away somewhere and their respective teams have to rescue them (alive!! They all know they’re alive because that changes the scenario a lot) and so someone must lead. The second scenario would be a proper passing of the torch, which I’ll get to later. These both take place in the Generation One Cartoon continuity, also before the 86 movie. No one is dying lol

But…. yeah, who would?

Before we can get to that, we do have to ask: what makes a good Decepticon leader? Like, why does Megatron lead?

My short answer is the fact that Megatron has been the defacto leader for so long now, plus the ideals he embodies. The Decepticons are less like an organised team in the cartoon and are more akin to a pretty dysfunctional military family bitter rivals�� who also have space guns. Yeah. As we can see in many episodes, Megatron’s leadership tends to default to ‘Yell And Threaten And Hit’ which works! Some of the time! <Cue One!Starscream saying his bit about strength over another, yada yada.> Megatron pretty much just hits anyone who tries to overthrow him.

… which leads to a pretty nasty power vacuum, like what we saw in the 86 movie, though less intense due to how he’s still There.

Obviously, Starscream tries to swoop in immediately with his ‘MEGATRON HAS FALLEN’ spiel. Cue Shockwave hitting him.

Starscream fails as a Decepticon leader because, despite the fact he’s wickedly smart and does have the firepower and a few followers to back him up, he’s very shortsighted. His flaws lie in how impatient he is, really. Screamer is smart but doesn’t have the (semi) wisdom in leading that Megatron has acquired. Short term gain vs long term consequences hasn’t clicked in his mind yet, and it probably won’t for a while. I believe in one continuity Megatron specifically stated that he was kind of training Starscream to take over as leader for the qualities I mentioned but that he wasn’t ready yet, as evidenced by everything. He has a long way to go before he can lead bots like the Decepticons, even if he won’t admit it.

So, Soundwave, yeah? Dude’s the glue holding this army together, whenever he leaves it all goes to scrap, he’s probably puppeteering Megatron behind the scenes. While very funny, I honestly doubt he’d ever take full control in the cartoon world. He did have a bid for power in the 86 movie IIRC but was content enough to follow behind Starscream when he won. What gives? Soundwave works best as a spymaster/communications guy. He’s in Megatron’s ear as a trusted advisor and someone to fall back on, but he never takes full control. Soundwave flourishes when he’s not in the limelight like Megatron does, dude goes on whole stakeouts where he just chills in altmode until someone gets curious and picks him up (or the infamous lamp transformation). Laserbeak is also a very specific spying tool. Considering how it seems like he has to go at least partially AFK during those sessions, it’s best he works in the shadows to help out the leader behind the scenes. He also strikes me as the kind of guy to really believe in the Decepticon cause beyond Megatron, so he would be forthcoming to a leader who can actually lead (looking at you, Screamer).

Then… Shockwave? Absolutely not, I love my guy but he’s a bit of a joke (CARTOON ONLY. I’m aware he’s actually scary in the comics). My mans got relegated to guard duty on Cybertron, which he fails at REPEATEDLY all the time once the space bridge is open and also those female Autobots kept stealing from him. Dude can’t shoot to save his life, he tries to bid for power and goes down after Astrotrain and Blitzwing make a 5-klick treaty to beat him up a bit. In the situation where Megatron is still alive, I suspect he might even split off from the main ‘Cons to stage his own rescue mission, because half the guys are arguing and the other half are scheming to get rid of Megatron. My favourite girlfailure probably gets captured almost immediately, but it’s the thought that counts.

So who leads the Decepticons? Ahah, clickbait, because I’m saving that for tomorrow. Though a quickfire:

Astrotrain does not get very far, I’m sorry. We saw how he turned out.

Blitzwing, if he had the opportunity, might be somewhat competent accidentally. With his SIC the former coach, he interrupts some Autobot plans and has a basic outline for rescuing Megatron before he’s stopped, either by another ‘Con or the Autobots.

The Constructicons self-destruct. They’re barely functional together and now they have to compete for leadership? Done for, over with. They’re saved by the fact that they form Devastator and can wreck the competition, but Hook complains about the state of the Decepticons, Long Haul wants to best up Autobots, and Scavenger’s best isn’t good enough.

Skywarp and Thundercracker don’t really have personalities ): My boys follow Starscream, being terrible advisors (one moreso than the other).

Waahoo. More to come tomorrow, might mess around and do the Autobots too, who knows!
