#trine shenanigans

[brandwhorestarscream]

I remember one ask, in which TCe SE meets the twins for the first time after a mission, when they (the jettwins )enter in the bedroom

And I propose: them knowing the twins in the form of them finding the 2 sleeping in Starscream's bed, and having that "leaving a family party only to find a baby/child that you never saw before in your bed" moment

Anon I have no idea what you're talking about in the first paragraph. I have no memory of that ask whatsoever and I'm not entirely sure what character's you're talking about.

And I'll be honest, the idea of finding some stranger in my bed makes me super squeamish. Especially if it's someone's random kid. I'd put em in the hallway and lock my door. Like?? You don't just dirty someone else's sheets without permission. That's weird and gross tbh

That's not the point. What's the point? I'm so lost and tired and my brain is mush. Um. Them just finding 2 babies in Starscream's bed after being gone for awhile would definitely have anyone rubbing their optics and then coming him in concern like. "Uhhhh. Hey. Starscream. Are you aware there's a couple toddlers sleeping in here? You are? OK. Cool. Cool. Follow up question. WHERE THE FRAG DID THEY COME FROM?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAD BABIES WHILE I WAS AWAY?! I WAS ONLY GONE FOR A WEEK!!!!!!"

Disastrine shenanigans!!

And a small fun fact to accompany the tiny drawing on the right: Lightning fries her own Audials so often thanks to her outlier, that by this point they're deemed a waste of resources to repair. Essentially, her hearing is semi-purposefully atrocious ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I need a version of the TFP Orion Pax arc with Thundercracker and Skywarp present, because it would pretty much be TC and 'Orion' doing an extended riff on the Mitchell and Webb 'Are We The Baddies?' skit for three episodes whilst Megatron scrambles to figure out what the step between 'get my amnesiac ex to move back in with me by convincing him my obviously evil minions on my obviously evil starship are totally legit actually' and 'profit!!!' was supposed to be and Airachnid does her best Starscream impression by taking advantage of his distraction to poison his morning fuel. (This doesn't do shit to him because he's so fucked up from the evil space meth that there is nothing he can consume that would make his situation any worse except possibly Thermite. Also, Soundwave switched the cubes whilst nobody was looking.)

'Orion' and Thundercracker are really starting to doubt that this is what a healthy and productive working environment looks like.

[lumibuns-blog]

haii, just stumbled across ur page and fell in love with your gojo stories. May I request some simple fluff with Saturo Gojo were the reader is capable of reading minds and Saturo is taking advantage of being able to talk to you without anybody hearing it, like flirting and nobody gets to hear it only you

Your requests are ADORABLEEEE

Mutual pining Gojo fluff <3

You sat it the small, wood framed classroom, letting the warm spring breeze flow onto your face. You had tuned out whatever Yaga-sensei was lecturing about long ago and simply let yourself become distracted by the sights and sounds of the outside world. That was until you heard an eco in your head

"Pssst hey, hey y/n" Your classmate Gojo's voice rang clear

He was the only you had told about this specific part of your cursed technique, if someone simply thought about talking to you while looking at you, you could tune in and hear their thoughts but you were unable to communicate back.

He guessed it on pretty much the first day of school, it had to have been a perk of having the six eyes. He had bothered you about it endlessly until you admitted that he was right just to shut him up. He promised he wouldn't tell anyone but that didn't mean he couldn't have fun with it now could he?

You cocked your eyebrow and looked at him, after seeing he got your attention his eyes perked up a bit before he reassumed his casual leaning against he desk

"Isn't this just soooooo boring" he speaks through your mind

You roll you eyes at him attempting to get back to your daydreaming when he pints in front of him to where Geto is seated

"Look look!" He had been sneakily putting small pieces of paper onto the back of Geto hair was apparently very amused with himself

You stifle a laugh

"Is something the matter y/n?" Yaga asked trining around from the board

"N-no sorry" you say looking down

He returns to teaching when you hear Gojo's voice once again

"Yeah pay attention y/n" he mocks with a smile

You give him one of those 'shut it or you'll die' looks that Shoko taught you but he just laughed

Several minutes went by with you looking out you window before your classmate interjects again but this time in a much softer tone

"You hair looks pretty in the breeze ya know..."

You whirled around, in shock. 'Gojo would never say anything like that?!' You think

When you had turned to face him he looked like he was about to burst out laughing

"You should have seen the look on your face!" He cried, his laughter echoing in your mind

You scowled at him, trying to hide your embarrassment.

Gojo, upon seeing your upset face scrambled to make the situation better. I mean of course he meant to say you looked pretty but he couldn't just admit that!

In a feeble attempt of boyish humor, he folded a paper airplane and gently sent it your way to get your attention

You whirled around once again, tired of his shenanigan.

"Just open it" he whispered through your mind

You begrudgingly unfolded the airplane to find he crudely drawn a small cat and had the words "sorry :/" next to it

You looked back up at him, a small smile on your face, but you saw that he had turned away from you, is hand on the back of his neck and the tips of his ears just slightly red.

You slipped the folded piece of paper into you pocket.

Gojo meanwhile was smiling gleefully to himself, the lecturer was now the furthest thing from his mind (not that he was ever actually paying attention in the first place). Now all he was focused on was using your little secret to make you blush like that again.

trinebee shenanigans? What's their dynamic? How did other bots react that bee not only is dating Starscream but gets the rest of the trine as part of the package?

-The trine all have a common enemy and its always bots who can get bee’s attention away from them.

- their dynamic is chaotic but works for them. They have an odd sense of communication but it works for them and they’re all comfortable and open and honest so it works.

- optimus is upset and visibly so because his bitty is dating the trine, really starscream, and he can’t do anything about it. It makes his energon boil.

- wheeljack is happy if bee is happy but he is prepared in case they hurt the little bitty he watched grow up.

- prowl has like seventeen contingency plans on how to offline the trine and get rid of their frames for when they step out of line and hurt bee.

- jazz was cool about it when he saw how happy bee was and how they acted around him but he did threaten them with a terrifying smile when bee wasn’t looking.

- ratchet out right said it was stupid and he’d take the mechs apart if they hurt bee but he left it alone so bee counts it as a win. Even after ratchet hit him with a wrench for his choice in partners.

- his big brother hot rod was the least threatening since he was dating soundwave and also because he knew the others already threatened the trine. Not to mention he could have soundwave hurt them in his place. His conjunx wanted to anyway.

Overall people want to protect bee and will hurt the trine if they hurt bee.

Bee is just hoping they leave him alone. He’s a grown mech, he can make his own decisions.

The trine disagree completely since they stop bee from doing crazy and outlandish things.

Bots are worried about the trine but they should be worried about bee. He’s the one who’ll give then a spark attack with all the crazy stunts he pulls.

Undertale Cyan and Orange

So hear me out what if Undertale Cyan and Orange were combined and told the story of the first and second humans to fall. This would also be before Flowey

Cyan is one to take things slow and is rather meticulous for a child. Orange is the opposite headstrong and impatient, willing to talk with their fist and often gets overwhelmed or scared. So similar to Trine/ Mario and Luigi (idk which one I’m talking about) we are able to swap between them with the only difference at the start is that Cyan doesn’t move and Orange does. In addition when not playing Orange or is uncontrollable due to fear you must calm Orange or Warn monsters of their attacks.

So like most human based story in undertale, we begin at the fall point and we eventually meet toriel.

Pacifist

After the usual ruin shenanigan, we meet Toriel at her home. When playing Orange its clear through textboxes and dialogue that they want to leave. So in the night when Toriel is sleep or something Orange ‘kidnaps’ Cyan and leaves out another exit, but not before dealing with two bosses (something reoccurring) that were harassing Cyan and Orange when Toriel was not around. After sparing them we exit the ruins into Snowdin. Our next obstacles are puzzles and the bosses of Snowdin a pair of twins. After sparing them we reach the third area. There we meet not just the two bosses, but their boss a tight laced monster who personality would remind anyone of the pokemon character Larry. After sparing the third areas bosses the ‘Larry’ monster separates Cyan and Orange. During this segment we play as either Cyan or Orange and they now have the ability to turn orange and cyan attacks the other color respectively. Which ever one we play as at the end of their segment they have to deal with a spider monster. Meanwhile with the other one they make it hotland where we meet the royal scientist’s assistant who is getting barked at on a walkie talkie by the royal scientist "to make sure no one disturbs them." They are of course our bosses, with the royal scientist not in the fight physically but is controlling a rudementary defense system which attacks the assistant and player indiscriminately. After sparing the assistant by having them toss their walkie into the lava. We reach the judgement hall where the Larry monster is, then things cut to black. We then reach the judgement hall with the other human and we are greeted with the Larry monster holding a glass container with a heart in it and you can infer what happened. They give the container to another monster then the Larry monster explains ‘How some monster are naive, Asgore a lot more so, but they are not as much, they wouldn’t be able to take on two humans, so they separated Orange and Cyan, delaying one them.” this now starts a no win boss fight as we have limited loads and ends with the Larry monster killing us, and putting our soul in a container

Genocide

After some genocide shenanigan in the ruin, we don’t go to Toriel, but head directly to the alternate exit. We kill one of the bosses, but the other beat feets out the ruin's exit, escaping the fight. Same thing happens with the Snowdin twins, but the Larry monster shows up and impedes our exit out of Snowdin. Orange of course punches the obstacle down. After the same thing happens with the third area bosses we make it to hotland where the Larry Monster and the spider monster are getting yelled at by the royal scientist. They notice us and they throw the walkie talkie at us before making their escape. Our penultimate boss fight is against the Larry monster. Their goal isn’t to kill, well both humans, but to use healing items they took from the dimensional box or any shop we missed. They heal themselves and us because when we run low on healing items they give us some and even skip attacks to allow us to heal. After they runs out of healing items or we do more damage then they can heal, they begs for mercy. If we spare them, they kill Cyan and if we deliver the final blow they kill Orange with a counter green attack before turning to dust either way. This increases the LV of the other as the spider boss takes the soul of the dead one. Now the final fight of the genocide is against the bosses that fled, the ruins boss, one of the snowdin twins, the third area boss, the spider boss and the assistant. There are two ways this ends either to the judgement hall bosses or to Asgore.

Neutral

This one is rather trickey, because my idea is depending on when you decide to start neutral if you kill one of dual bosses when you can spare them they will appear with the Larry monster in the judgement hall exception being the royal scientist. For example you decided to slaughter most of the ruins, you get to its bosses you work to mercy, but you kill one of them but spare the other, the one that lived doesn't beat feet, but leaves the ruins and the next time you see them is with the Larry monster

Thinking back to mini jet reader and the elite thrine shenanigans: How much dead would a poor bot be if they flirted/courted mini jet reader?

oh absolutely no one would find the body they made be dweebs but the elite trine doesn’t do anything by half

[transingthoseformers]

I am picturing so many shenanigans.

Listen since they are referencing G1 so much it doesn't start as Dinobot/Dinosaur Island but Shockwave is left alone too long and he finally checked out the human internet spoke to one nerd a little too long and was sent Jurraisic Park and now there are dinosaurs.

The JazzWaveProwlTara family just wake up to Starscream shouting about this and ready to wring his neck while clutching a whining baby T-Rex who is gnawing on his hand. They have dinosaurs now. Shockwave did careful research not to affect the environment and everyone is fascinated. Swindle turns into a moneymaking opportunity, and they have their own instagram and followers. The T-Rex is named Rexy via internet vote.

The next disaster is Breakdown getting the boot and towed in Kentucky and they have to break him out before he gets uncovered because he's banned from the state after several incidents at the racing rink. Which is when, with Tara's holoform, the Cassettes, and Jazz, they also find Bumblebee arrested too and call the Autobots to pick him up.

Deadlock shows up and Starscream and them think they are fucked because he didn't part from them on good terms to say the least but he appears as a plus one to Ratchet. Who everyone says "I thought you died??" to only for her to roll her eyes and Deadlock to follow behind besotted and threatening.

Jazz and Prowl are thrilled by the reunion and everyone gets a check up.

Thundercracker shows back up and, as part of their attempt to ease tensions, makes a documentary about it. It is supposed to be a serious demonstration of compliance and their history and it is, but it has a lot of parts with Decepticons being silly, baby nonsense, and Shockwave making unholy abominations because he manages to sneak a read of the Emberstone and while he was banned from making more dinosaurs making babies is clearly allowed so part of the documentary is his announcing Specimen Zero escaped and can fly and a very loud shout from Starscream of "YOU MADE A DRAGON!" and Shockwave saying,"I made a protoform." and then having to pull a biting baby Predaking from the trees. All this broken up by snippets of Trine Reunion drama as Thundercracker brought their human partner Marissa and their pet dog.

Everyone is deeply invested in the Decepticon Reality Television and there's a whole following about Breakdown's 'secret boyfriend' while Bee sweats nervously in the background.

The Maltos have definitely watched.

More serious thought though occur, of them receiving a message on a Decepticon frequency saying, "Calling all Decepticons. Calling all Decepticons stationed on Earth. Your hailing signal has been received. Assistance en route. Lord Galavatron's ship the Revenge en route."

That would be adorable as fuck!

I wholeheartedly blame Shockwave for why there are dinosaurs in rescue bots so naturally naturally he's cloning them back here too (plus side: the sparklings playing with fluffy raptors?) Tarantulas helped him and they called Nighty as a consult on occasion because that'd be adorable

Plus arguably blah blah blah we can't clone back dinosaurs because the dino DNA is too broken to work with but we can make new dinosaurs example the chickensaurus project that's considering a little ✨out there✨ by the paleontological community and the ethics of bringing a new species into the world as a novelty animal blah blah blah Riot being a downer about dinosaurs time over

Yessss on Rexy the Instagram Star.

"What were you two idiots thinking"

"Bold for you to assume we were thinking Jazz"

Dratchet Dratchet Dratchet Dratchet Dratchet

Deadlock and Ratty have the coolest "how we met is a long story" story ever don't they, and I feel like it's connected to Deadlock finding Ratchet hurt and returning the favor from yOU GUESSED IT THE DEAD END CLINIC ^w^

Also interesting to see the "Ratchet may or may not be dead" theory

Thundercracker our beloved, he's trying ultimately but everyone's making the docuseries silly goofy silly goofy

Shockwave babygirl that there is a decision alright

Adorable

Yes

I imagined tfe Predaking is a lot smaller than we see him in tfp, he's little (well little by cybertronian standards) and he's technically a Terran because I say so and that'd be adorable as fuck (if Nightshade can scan an owl statue for an altmode can't Predaking do similar?)

Ah yes Thundercracker meeting the trine and learning Nova Storm has taken his place in the trine (he's okay with this naturally, it was him who left) so he's excitedly introducing Marissa and Buster

Yes, everyone is so invested

Look I just had to make various in universe tags for this stuff

#Breakbee4life, #DRT, #DeceptiDinos, #RattyIsBack, #DoYouBelieveInDragons, #TrineReunionDrama, #Decepticon, #DeceptiFails, #Rexy, and probably more. Definitely more. This shit is popular on social medias and Megatron is having so many emotions and opinions about the clusterfuck that this is but deep down he's just a little proud that they're settling into a domestic ish post war rhythm.

Wait

Wait oh no

Galvatron oh no

[thefoldedbird]

tossing around the tender idea of pre-war university shenanigans. not a college au on earth. nah. ratchet in the iaconian medical school. dying. thunderclash giving a lecture or offering tutoring for a near non-existant fee. prowl in the police academy.

starscream at the science institute trying to balance responsibilities as a member of the formation flight team. (i feel like he and his trine were considered the upper echelon of seekers and therefore had public responsibilities of some kind but i haven't hammered out the details).

optimus (orion pax) balancing his data clerk job with his loading dock job. exhausted. elita one noticing the new dock worker on her shift who's a little too nice for his own good but he's kindacutebutohwellright?

megatron learning how to fight in the pits and getting his ass handed to him. jazz learning to play the electro-bass between his shifts at the post office (i think his title was messenger in one of the books so i'm rolling with that). wheeljack being a menace at every vocational school and being expelled from most as well. (with a guest appearance from oil slick who's just as bad but quieter about it).

[brandwhorestarscream]

cryptid seekers, but tfp,

Or, cliffjumper and arcee get stuck with the arie , and stay there for a week before returning to the base shining like dimonds, and extremely confused.

Aksjdjskaka omg-

The team probably thinks they're being tortured for information and are running themselves ragged trying to figure out how to carry out a successful rescue op, meanwhile the two of them are being held in the weirdest 'prison' they've ever seen. A seeker's aerie is always a cushy, warm, welcoming place, and they're being treated quite well despite being 'prisoners'

I'm assuming there's more seekers than just Starscream here, right? Probably his trine, maybe Dreadwing, possibly some Rainmakers? If not, it's literally Just Starscream, and both options have so much potential for shenanigans XD

And now for the really, really embarrassing one oh god

What makes it worse it's it's my favorite of the two, I think about it often enough and it's so, so self indulgent and makes so so little sense

So basically originally my Seeker Optimus AU was simple, reasonable; what if Orion had been a seeker and how would this affect his relationship with like Starscream pre and post war so on and so forth

But apparently my brain decided that was not Wacky and Strange enough and instead was like

Oh, what if instead Megatron managed to fell Optimus on the field and while the Autobots manage to get the matrix somehow Starscream gets a hold of Optimus' spark and places it in a Seeker shell with the idea that somehow he'll be able to like control him???? How, idk, god forbid I actually think these things through.

All the while Megatron is moping because killing Optimus did not make him happy, he's actually heavily depressed and fucked up about it while on the Autobot side Hot Rod becomes Rodimus.

Optimus wakes up in a body that isn't his own and rightfully freaks the fuck out, tries to get out of dodge and promptly fails because he doesn't know how to do jack all in this new body and from there is this whole thing where Starscream teaches Optimus how to at least fly properly because he knows that if Optimus shows back up to the Autobots they're going to attack on sight because all they'll see is a Decepticon which he's hoping will crack Optimus' spirit enough to give him a space to work his claws into and from there again is a half baked mess.

Optimus does end up coming back but thinks that maybe he can change the Deceptions from the inside and unintentionally finds himself making a new little family (especially with the Seeker trine who've been teaching him how to be a proper Seeker and have unintentionally adopted him into their little family unit in the process which derails Starscream's entire original plan) while also battling himself as he struggles with the guilt of feeling freed by no longer having to lead and battling with the concept of who he is as a person as he can't simply go back to being Orion with how irrevocably changed as he is but also feels that he is no longer Optimus either.

Despite the darker/more serious tones here and there it does get silly both with Optimus learning to function in this new body as well as some of his old habits and traits bleeding back in as well as other parts of him he has to temper to keep face as a beacon of hope and leadership for his men just kind of flow freely.

Megatron does find out that this new Seeker is actually Optimus and his feelings are Complicated and also Shockwave shenanigans because I have, I just htdktddkt

Day of Mars in Scorpio

(rulership of Mars)

Scorpio Mars trine Pisces Moon.

Mars in Scorpio is really the main character in the sky right now, which can often be expected when a planet is in the sign of its own rulership. Today the Moon makes the closest aspect to Mars, an energising trine to uplift a planet that is already amplified by being in its own element and with Mars being a powerful, momentous planet as it stands alone. Mercury is also approaching Mars quite quickly now, and Mercury only adds more erratic and sudden happenings into the disastrous Mars shenanigans. Now, Mars being destructive isn’t always a bad thing. The best capability of Mars in Scorpio is its ability to reveal the truth at the core of the truth of the matter that had never been seen before. It might hurt some feelings, but Mercury adds a necessity to explore the facts. The Moon in Pisces, being very subtle and willing to give in for the sake of going with the flow, could make it easier to surrender to the truth here, or make it scarier to go along with reality.

— Daily Divination

A truth must be set in stone today, there can be no doubts left in anyone’s mind. Be prepared to realise the truth after hearing some much needed honesty. Be forgiving and surrender to the changes. If you don’t allow everything you’ve already known up until now to be forgotten, then what you’re about to experience will be terrifying. An open mind will be necessary to see there is nothing to fear in this new light. Find balance between speaking up for your own truth, and observing the ever-changing truths in the world around you. Accept that you will need to remain flexible if you want to stay afloat.

✨Chart of the Day✨

🪷Tuesday February 8th, 2023🪷

☀️ Sun in ♒

🌙 Moon in ♍

Major Notes:

📌 Moon Opposite Venus

📌 Mars Square Moon & Venus

📌Uranus Trine Moon

🔮Queen Machete's Insights & Opinions🔮

🌱 i took the weekend & the full moon to attend to necessary matters. It has been an eventful time for many. Full moons are generally rougher for me than other transits and my lunar return only exhausted me further. Being a 12H moon is a situation in and of itself. But enough about me, let's get into the chart of the day.

🌙↔️♀️We gon be needy today fam. We need love, affection, luxury, beauty, nurturing. The push and pull is going to be palpable in the wake of the full moon. I suggest that you treat yo self in a practical way. Like eat food that is healthy and makes you feel good. Spend time doing something helpful but productive with a friend. And just generally be more compassionate to yourself and others.

♂️ 🔲 🌙 ➕♀️Mars is in a corner today. Passionate is going to be an understatement. Great day to get some 🍆 🍑 but tbh i think bc of what is going on with everything else, it's gonna be more daunting than anything. Adding pressure to the see-saw we have with the moon and Venus and really i think this is just the axis of anxiety and delusion. There can be feigned comfort and control in both, as they are both imaginary. I think we are gonna feel both insatiable and unsatisfied. Seems restless to me. Though there can be opportunity for creativity. And Gemini is imaginative. This is going to be interesting. All these mutable shenanigans.

🍑 🔺🌖 Uranus is in a harmonious aspect with la luna today. The Waning Gibbous Luminary and this generational planet of change & individuality are working together, so it would be an ideal time to explore something unusual that you may be interested in. Maybe a secret interest and embrace your inner rebel. Also with the moon in Virgo, Introspection can be highly beneficial. Assessing yourself and what makes you different could come in clutch this Aqua Szn. You could have unexpected or chaotic emotional responses to things today but i think ultimately they will be for the greater good of yourself expression & individuality.

❓🤔 What are your predictions for the day? How did yesterday play out🤔❓

⚠️Please note: these are by no means fully comprehensive/exhaustive! These are just my personal impressions ⚠️

[doodle-machine]

Star: and what are you Thundercracker? TC: A dog. Star: That’s stupid. TC: … >:I

You thought I was done with @transform-or-treat postings, BUT NO!

This one is for @justawayninja‘s prompt! I have always been fascinated with the concept of temporary paintjobs as a form of Cybertronian ceremonial wear. I wanted to go with a bunch of cool glowy symbolic glyphs, but, you know, deadlines are a thing.
