Assorted Transformers Haikus, Batch 1

(you can also read these on Ao3. Notes at the end)

Blasts cut onwards Lasting peace must be brought forwards Wheels and blades tire

Language dancing My thoughts and yours communing Cityspeaking love

My poetry sung Pride of the Decepticons Yours truly Sky-Byte

Forging many wonders Mother to all and yet when will I get time with them?

One of the discord servers we're on has kicked off doing haikus as a writing exercise, here's some of ours, we'll release them in batches (and yes, we are still working on Chapter 18 of Addendum, it should be done soon life has just been getting in the way but it is almost done as it is, very excited to soon release it). We got a little meta with the last one. As you can tell we're really craving a story where Solus is alive and around to advise the Autobots or show up later in a story. She should get to her character concept and particularly her defensive pacifist sword wielding IDW1 backstory was an interesting take we'd love to see revisited without being a monarch, but instead a champion of democracy and autonomy. Alpha Trion can take a break or also be around.

Also for people wondering why G1 Arcee is tagged in something specifically about using blades that's because that was part of her original bio from 1986, and a bio done much more recently combining her overlapping G1 and IDW aspects (which would not be the first time that happened either), you can read more about that here in section 3 of an essay we wrote looking back on IDW1 Arcee's writing after immersing ourselves in it over the years, finding much more than just kinship to her, we felt this urge to dig further, to understand, feeling threads that were there regarding trans history, but not having much knowledge regarding historical transmedicalism, so we dug. We dug because we wanted to show that Arcee's writing from 2012-2018 not only is a beautiful trans story unique in science fiction, but that her personality there and in part in her Spotlight (which absolutely did not intend trans stuff and walked into a minefield in that regard that inadvertently opened up the opportunity for the writing and consulting team in Phase 2 and Phase 3 to figure out beautiful character arcs for her) are direct successors of the original personality frameworks for G1 Arcees, and to show the impact and legacy of both Sunbow/Marvel and IDW Arcees along with more Arcees combined on many versions of her thereafter. In regards to relevance to the haiku, Victorion noticed during Optimus Prime #21 what Arcee had already stated previously, that she did not want to be a warrior. This picks up on a refrain older versions of her character have also shown.

a history doomed to repeat itself; on the tragedy of human and cybertronian relationships — aristotle demands that a tragedy have a terrible end, which he calls a catastrophe. the happy end is not permitted.

Deja vu 🥺

rip me apart, split me plant new seeds

let me feel the worms twitching

let me grow anew like a forgotten garden, let gentle deers meander through me

carried by the arms of the storm I want

to be in awe.

How foolish of us for trying  to escape the changes of life. I wonder if a flower tries to resist as the universe pulls its existence  from within the seed to the bud and then petal by petal,  bringing it back into the  one. Maybe it just says, with all  the silence of its being,  thank you.

oh so Optimus is DEFINITELY keeping the "I fucked your mother" card in his back pocket even if he'd never use it

Optimus needs to be completely blitzed out on alcohol or drugs before accidentally and quite happily waving that card. He would have one single brain cell manning the mental fort to not blurt out June's name but uses terms of endearment.

Jack better pray that he's not in the vicinity. Otherwise, he will get front row audio range about how sentimentally sweet Prime feels about his mom... and her tongue and hands.

No, really, Jack will get far deeper insight about their relationship because all this time he had thought that they bonded over plants and literature, but really, they were high-key flirting through horny and romantic symbolism, especially since he can recognize the endearments because Jack had been playfully joking over his mom's new admirer.
