its weird seeing old memes being memes again....

[loveisbraveandwild]

hii, i’m new to the fandom and i was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to grow my account 🥺🥺💓

post original content! this can be anything- deep txt posts, funny txt posts, good memes, gifs, typo edits! whatever

use tags! especially if u make edits- tswiftedit is the edit tag but i also go through tags for songs so if its a text post or edit abt cruel summer tag cruel summer !

send asks!!!!!!!!! this is the biggest piece of advice i would give anyone! when ppl send me asks i get to know them! dm is kinda awkward and i am bad at responding!! if u send asks u can start convos in the comments or continue to send asks. if i recognize a url from my asks im also more likely to respond to dms

comment on posts!! u can also add on when u reblog but i prefer to just talk in the comments. this can be on anything but especially personal posts. if a friend posts abt something thats sucky going on i’ll comment a heart and be like ‘ily!’ if someone posts coming funny and a litte crackhead-y i’ll be like “hahahahah madie [using her as example b/c she deserves it lol] wtf”

which brings me to my next point- use ppls names and make sure ur name is visible on ur acc! its so personal and makes ppl feel heard especially cause online can sometimes feel impersonal

also i like when ppl r personal and themselves! ur blog doesnt have to be only taylor, i know u have other interests! if i had a dollar for everything i posted abt little women or bon appetit hahaha i also like when ppl r just like “im making such and such for dinner” it adds a personal flair, especially if u dont want to give info thats too personal ya know

and then the obvious- stay active! i know things get crazy and busy but i dont like when ppl r only active when theres new content or when taylor is online! the mornings r typically pretty dry but things get fun around 8/9pm est and last until abt 1/3am est! theyre my favorite hrs in the fandom and an opportunity to be urself and just have fun !

also this is a mindset thing but if ure focused on notes, followers, notices- basically numbers- it wont be as fun! i used to be so focused on this and it was bad and ended up having to leave for a bit. just hang out, make friends, and be urself :)

this got very long but its the most advice that i can give!!! i know it sounds like a lot but honestly if u just hang out and stay active all this stuff will hopefully become natural!!! pls dont hesitate of ask more questions!!! oh and welcome to the fandom!!! happy to have u :)

May 22 Dancitron Movie Night - Alien Vs Predator

Whirl hailed it as the most romantic movie he’s seen this year. Swoop was just glad they didn’t spend half the movie talking. Starscream showed up for the express purpose of trying to cockblock Prowl. Prowl was Out Of It the whole movie and Soundwave and Tarantulas are worried.

Today ItsyBitsySpyers 8:20 pm This message has been removed. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:25 pm *Soundwave's done everything in his power to minimize the expected fidgeting today. It hasn't really worked. He sits at his usual spot and turns one arm to casually cover his abdomen. Won't hide the rest of his lights, but it's something.* Ratchet 8:26 pm *pops in* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:26 pm *Rumble and Frenzy are there to welcome everyone with a huge stash of snacks, this time closer to the crowd and not at the bar.* Tarantulas 8:26 pm *whoa wait is tarantulas early this time?? good job spide. he'll come over and lean on soundwave from behind, with a casual cheery mental hello* Ratchet 8:26 pm *aaaand.... it's only Soundwave and co. so far.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:26 pm [[Ratchet.]] Nod. Ratchet 8:27 pm *and Tarantulas okay that's not much better. is Zori about, at least.* Tarantulas 8:27 pm *excuse u ratchet* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:27 pm *Looks up and sends a curious ping. He's usually not the one getting leaned on.* [[Welcome, Tarantulas.]] *Zori is NOT about because this movie would terrify him to pieces. Chimera is perched on a chair back as a bird though.* Ratchet 8:28 pm *excuse urself, u know Ratchet don't trust ur ass* Tarantulas 8:28 pm *he's in a good mood that bleeds over into soundwave a little, heh* B 8:28 pm *trundles in and moves immediately to a seat where she can see the rest of the room and not be in the way. waves to the twins as she goes* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:28 pm \\BIG BIT.\\ Ratchet 8:28 pm *he should probably at least return the greeting, though. politeness and all.* Evening. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:29 pm *Well, good moods are welcome. Soundwave motions to the side of himself Prowl doesn't usually sit. For now?* boomtank 8:29 pm -wanders in and plops down somewhere- B 8:29 pm *grins at the nickname* Windchill 8:30 pm *Appears, and swoops in to pick a seat.* Tarantulas 8:30 pm *for now! seems amenable enough that tara takes a seat. he'll let go of soundwave in order to keep his thoughts private while he squints at ratchet* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:30 pm [[Blaster, Bevel, Windchill. Good evening to you all.]] boomtank 8:30 pm -tired wave- Hey Windchill 8:30 pm Gee, Soundwave, you make it sound all. Late in the day or something. B 8:30 pm Hi!

He's clearly poking fun here at worst* Windchill 8:33 pm ...True. Ratchet 8:33 pm *pings back* Evening to you, too. B 8:33 pm It is sad trash talk isn't the worst thing any side ever did. Ratchet 8:34 pm *snort* It's war, not a ball game. B 8:34 pm Sad but lucrative. boomtank 8:34 pm ........ ItsyBitsySpyers 8:34 pm *Rumble choke-laughs.* Tarantulas 8:34 pm *pings back, it's a ping war now* It's lovely to see you again, Ratchet - I don't even know how long it's been anymore, hyeh boomtank 8:35 pm -he's getting a headache and the movie hasn't begun yet- Ratchet 8:35 pm [[ i can't believe the first comparison i wrote was 'not a BALL GAME' fuck me, i'm still not over that stupid murder night ]] ItsyBitsySpyers 8:35 pm ((looool)) Ratchet 8:35 pm Since the last time you dropped by, I expect. Whirl 8:36 pm *trots on in; he is empty-clawed tonight* FakeProwl 8:36 pm *appears; immediately sits, pulls his knees to his chest, wraps his arms around them, and zones out.* B 8:36 pm *pleased there's so many bots around tonight* Ratchet 8:36 pm *brightens; suddenly TWO choices of people to sit with* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:36 pm *Again? But they're not even in Blurr's ship. This is HIS place. It's supposed to be a safe place.* Windchill 8:36 pm Oh look who's just arrived, everyone, it's *he drops the bass* JOHN CENAAAAAAAAA.

I've been sparse in the past, but lately I've been making time. *prowl!! prowl. prowl gets a spide arm petting him* Ratchet 8:37 pm Since the last time you dropped by /my/ place. Windchill 8:37 pm *Rocks back in his seat, trumpeting that godawful theme to the ceiling. It's all for you, Whirl, appreciate it.* Whirl 8:37 pm What is this horrid noise. Is this supposed to be MUSIC. FakeProwl 8:37 pm *flinches at surprise touch* Hm? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:37 pm //Yo, Whirl!// Ratchet 8:38 pm *where's Prowl sitting tho. Ratchet would LIKE TO SIT WITH HIM but he might go for the Whirl hammock that's not a hammock here, it's just wherever Whirl sits.* Whirl 8:38 pm And it's finally happened. Windchill's gone senile. I knew this day would come. Windchill 8:38 pm *Stops when he's trumpeted as much as the Earth meme calls for.* FakeProwl 8:38 pm *prowl's sitting next to soundwave* best decepticon leader 8:38 pm ((sorry I dropped out technical issues)) Whirl 8:38 pm *and he will cheerily bob his head at Rumble in greeting* Windchill 8:38 pm It's my horrid noise, don't you recognize me? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:38 pm ((np ss mun)) boomtank 8:39 pm -and yet Blaster finds this more relaxing than his office- Whirl 8:39 pm No, not you. The other horrid noise. Whatever nonsense THIS is. *gestures vaguely around in an attempt to indicate the music* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:39 pm {{Bird likes it. Peh.}} Ratchet 8:39 pm *well in that case, Prowl gets a wave, and Ratchet drops down next to Whirl.* Windchill 8:39 pm *Squints, not sure if sarcasm or if music is really that bad.* Whirl 8:39 pm Bird has no taste, clearly. FakeProwl 8:40 pm *doesn't notice* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:40 pm {{You shut... speaker!}} Whirl 8:40 pm *he will take a seat near Windchill, Ratchet is welcome to join, as is the usual crowd* *snickers, amused by Laserbeak's slip-up* I call em like I see em. Ratchet 8:41 pm *ping ping at Prowl* Evening, Whirl. Good to see ya. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:42 pm @Prowl: (txt): Confirmation requested: Prowl certain Prowl wants movie appearance? *He doesn't want Prowl to be here just because he thinks he has to be or something.* Whirl 8:43 pm You too, mech. Been a dog's age. *nods cordially at Ratchet* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:43 pm *Rumble and Frenzy pack in with Whirl, away from Ratchet. They know when they're not that liked anymore.* FakeProwl 8:43 pm *vague shrug tag* Windchill 8:44 pm *Surrounded by a bunch of weirdos, and Ratchet.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:44 pm ((ALL RIGHT let's warning it up: As expected from movies of this nature, we've got violence, gore, body horror, and EGG. And also Aliens (ha) Built Civilization, I suppose.)) Windchill 8:44 pm (( What film is this. )) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:44 pm *Small nod. It's not a no.

I'm about to literally die of boredom. boomtank 8:45 pm -settles in to watch- Windchill 8:45 pm *A prime example of weirdo.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:45 pm *Soundwave vents quietly and tries to be settled. Keyword: tries.* *And he's already leaning forward again.* Ratchet 8:46 pm *also he'll just be. scooting a little farther down the couch. away from the others on it.* Tarantulas 8:46 pm *tara's gonna move around to in front of prowl, he seems to like that spot. nudge nudge, ping with the word CUDDLE? attached* Windchill 8:46 pm It's...a thing, everyone. boomtank 8:46 pm -and picks up his data-pad to read- Ratchet 8:46 pm *sorry kiddos thanks for sitting on that side but it's a little close still* B 8:46 pm *pulls out something to work on during the movie* Whirl 8:46 pm *if Whirl notices Ratchet's discomfort, he doesn't in any way react* You seen this? *looks to Windchill* FakeProwl 8:47 pm *it takes Prowl a while to react to the ping* Windchill 8:47 pm The movie? No... Heard of it. Heard it was like, one of those horror movies or something. Thriller, maybe. Scary movies bore me. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:48 pm *Right. The ice. A tarp. He wishes he had a tarp.* \\IT'S GREAT.\\ best decepticon leader 8:48 pm Who comms someone that close? Windchill 8:48 pm Humans, obviously.

No.» best decepticon leader 8:53 pm wings are elegant Whirl 8:53 pm Okay. I'll make sure not to let you show me any pictures of your horrid little beast. Tarantulas 8:53 pm *scoots over on the floor and sits on soundwave's pede, if he can't have prowl he'll have someone else entertain him* B 8:54 pm Being both is even better. best decepticon leader 8:54 pm rotors are... ugh Windchill 8:54 pm Okay, thanks.

Lord Starscream 9:05 pm *Starscream.. probably does not even notice Bevel. Another mech that doesn't matter yet. Soundwave gets a nod, though* Windchill 9:05 pm Thanks, bro. Hold me. Whirl 9:05 pm *leans back and plants his feet on Windchill, where they belong* Lord Starscream 9:05 pm *Starscream is just going to take up a seat near the back where he can keep an eye on just about everyone* B 9:06 pm *not even a little offended* Windchill 9:06 pm *Thrums with satisfaction. All is as it should be.* FakeProwl 9:06 pm *... oh wait. starscream.* Whirl 9:06 pm *also, Rumble, he's not gonna stop* At the very least, keep them away from each other. The last thing we need is them multiplying. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:06 pm *As well as progress updates on Metroplex. All four limbs have a very basic system set up now (with plans to improve them later).

Does he have any information about me that - as in -?» Whirl 9:06 pm *oh wait what's with all those blades o the screen* FakeProwl 9:06 pm @Tarantulas «Do not visibly interact with me tonight. At all.» Whirl 9:06 pm *briefly interested* Tarantulas 9:07 pm *DAMNIT* B 9:07 pm Whoa helmet. Tarantulas 9:07 pm @Prowl «....Noted.» Lord Starscream 9:07 pm *that's right~ Continuing his pettiness from the other night, either he observes Prowl's mysterious beau or he cockblocks him* *Both are acceptable outcomes* B 9:08 pm *grumbles at stupid selfish dads* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:08 pm @Whirl: //Naw, that's the other... OTHER red Starscream.// Windchill 9:08 pm That borehole looks really..interesting. *He's gonna stop himself right there.* Whirl 9:09 pm @Rumble: Oh god, you know THREE Starscreams? My sympathies, mech. Ratchet 9:09 pm *snerk* FakeProwl 9:09 pm @Tarantulas «It might be better for you to leave completely. Or at least get small enough he can't see. You don't exactly blend in with the crowd.» ItsyBitsySpyers 9:09 pm *Soundwave pings Bevel. She's not his spawn, but he has a distant interest in her ongoing safety. She okay?* @Whirl: //Oh, naw, we know more'n three. Jus' three red ones.// Whirl 9:09 pm Heh. I like her. Windchill 9:09 pm She's pretty cool. Almost took his head off. Whirl 9:10 pm @Rumble: I am even more sorry to hear that. *places a claw dramatically on his chest... which probably looks odd to the rest of the room* You lot have suffered much. Tarantulas 9:10 pm @Prowl «I - damnit. Alright. I'll leave and come back in miniature form. I'll - stick with Soundwave, then.» *forwards this comm to soundwave also* best decepticon leader 9:10 pm If she was cooler she would have taken his head off Windchill 9:10 pm *Is used to Whirl being weird, thinks nothing of it.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:10 pm @Whirl: //Right? Fraggin' awful. I oughta get a medal.// Whirl 9:10 pm That's the opposite of her job, idiot. B 9:10 pm *pings back with a stubborn affirmative* boomtank 9:11 pm She was trying to save him, not kill him best decepticon leader 9:11 pm No one would have to know. "Oops I missed."

Whirl 10:53 pm *he looks away again, not saying anything, but the cogs are quietly turning* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:54 pm *Soundwave did choose to teach Whirl bridges for good reasons. Being sharper than he appears was one of them.* Whirl 10:55 pm All right, later, losers! *waves a claw and trots off for real* Windchill 10:55 pm Bye, loser! B 10:55 pm *catches automata before it walks off the table and sets it back down in the middle of the table* FakeProwl 10:55 pm *............ vague shrug ping* *he's too tired for this complicated nonsense but also too tired to have the presence of mind to articulate this* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:56 pm //Seeya!// Whirl 10:56 pm *bobs his helm one last time* Windchill 10:56 pm *Grunts and rolls onto his front before pushing off and climbing to his feeties.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:56 pm \\BIG BIT. DO THAT ON THE FRAGGIN' BAR, HUH? IT'S GONNA BREAK.\\ *Primus grant him patience.* boomtank 10:57 pm -stretches and stands- Ugh, ow, too long in one position ItsyBitsySpyers 10:57 pm //Gettin' old, huh?// boomtank 10:57 pm Getting stressed ItsyBitsySpyers 10:58 pm @Prowl: (txt): Prowl state changed between meetings. Prowl hurt, damaged? B 10:58 pm Will not. *gets up anyway and heads to the bar, longer surface might be better to see that it keeps working* FakeProwl 10:58 pm @Soundwave «No.» Windchill 10:58 pm Well, at least, despite everything, nobody puked this time. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:59 pm [[Fortunately.]] B 10:59 pm That was gross. Windchill 11:00 pm Not to worry. *He places a meaty hand on his chest.* Should you ever decide you're in need of more puke, I can oblige. B 11:00 pm Ew. Windchill 11:01 pm I have talents. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:01 pm @Prowl: (txt): Internal, external source? Other mech caused state? B 11:01 pm Better talents than vomit. Unless it is acid vomit. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:01 pm *NOT NOW, BEVEL.* Windchill 11:02 pm Hey, I can vomit, scream, AND hit on Whirl. That's at least a few talents. *None of them are good, but he has them.* FakeProwl 11:02 pm *long pause* *what is this interrogation prowl is tired* Tarantulas 11:02 pm *impatient little taptaptaps on sw's hand* Lord Starscream 11:02 pm ((I really thought this was gonna be Hallehjuah)) B 11:03 pm Sonic screaming? ItsyBitsySpyers 11:03 pm @Tarantulas: [[Trying. Trying.]] FakeProwl 11:03 pm @Soundwave «I'm tired.» Windchill 11:03 pm ...Depends on the atmosphere. FakeProwl 11:03 pm *no. that's not good enough. soundwave can ask why prowl is tired.* @Soundwave «I want to not talk about it.» ItsyBitsySpyers 11:04 pm *Vents. Damn it.* boomtank 11:04 pm -and on that, he's leaving- G'night ItsyBitsySpyers 11:04 pm //Night, mech.// Windchill 11:05 pm *Waves at the back of Blaster's retreating head.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:06 pm @Prowl: (txt): Other talk wanted? Complete distraction? Silent company? ...Anything? boomtank 11:07 pm thanks for the stream, bye now!)) ItsyBitsySpyers 11:07 pm ((you're welcome!! see you next time 😄 )) Tarantulas 11:07 pm (( bye!! B 11:07 pm [[bye Windchill 11:08 pm (( Bye! )) FakeProwl 11:08 pm *long pause* B 11:09 pm *automaton makes it 3/4 of the way down the bar before grinding to a halt. picks it back up and sits on the floor to see what went wrong* I got hit by a sonic bullet once. Hurt really bad. FakeProwl 11:09 pm @Soundwave «... Nothing.» Windchill 11:10 pm Yeah, bullets hurt when they hit you. *He says this as gently, yet condescendingly as possible.* Tarantulas 11:10 pm *...alright, tarantulas is too invested in this situation to leave and he wants company, he's going to stick around a while if soundwave lets him...?* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:10 pm *Soundwave said he would.* *The hand not holding Tarantulas visibly flexes and twitches with frustration. But.* Tarantulas 11:11 pm *good. he's gonna cling* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:12 pm @Prowl: (txt): Understood. If something needed, Soundwave listens. Until then, space given. Will see when Prowl wants seen. Goodnight. Take self-care. FakeProwl 11:12 pm *ping* B 11:13 pm *stares at Windchill for a moment before shrugging and looking back at what she's doing* Yeah. Windchill 11:14 pm *Manages to look even more smug than usual.* I'm off, got a wiggle worm to feed. Windchill 11:16 pm Good night, suckers. *aaaaaand he's out!* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:17 pm [[Farewell.]] @Tarantulas: [[Prowl has not been hurt or damaged, but he is tired. The reason is still unclear. He does not wish to be assisted or bothered.]] Pause. Should he tell Tarantulas about the other thing? ... No. That's Prowl's to talk about. [[Prowl knows we are worried, and to speak when he is ready. We can do nothing else for now.]] *He buzzes Rumble and Frenzy. They immediately hop up to head over to Bevel and keep her company a while.* B 11:18 pm *company appreciated* Tarantulas 11:19 pm @Soundwave [He IS hurt somehow, not physically. If he would just TALK about it...] *weh weh much unhappy feelings* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:20 pm @Tarantulas: [[He meant physically.]] *Believe him, he gets it. The helpless frustration is strong with this one.* Tarantulas 11:20 pm @Soundwave [What if he NEEDS to be pushed. Sometimes when in a slump - need stimulus to revitalize -] ItsyBitsySpyers 11:22 pm *Fretting, uncertainty, and an interesting touch of revulsion at the idea of overriding Prowl stating 'nothing'.* Tarantulas 11:23 pm *random thought, does he have to stay tiny, should he stay tiny, hmm what does sw think* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:23 pm [[He cannot disregard what he was told.]] Be big if he wants. Starscream is gone. [[He must not.]] Tarantulas 11:24 pm [Why not?] *gradually he'll crawl off soundwave's hand onto his lap and become medium-sized spide pillow* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:27 pm *Image of petting. An offer, while the mun looks fo rsomething.* Tarantulas 11:28 pm *yis, eager assent. petting is good* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:30 pm [][][]I would appreciate if you didn’t make unilateral decisions about what activities and conversations I am and am not comfortable with on the basis of your own assumptions about the meaning of ambiguous statements. I would appreciate if you’d let me decide for myself.[][][] [[Prowl decided. He will not disrespect that. To do so would be assuming that he controls Prowl.]] A HARSH shake of his helm. [[He does not. He will not act as though he does.]] B 11:30 pm *mun is going to leave but Bevel will hang out with the twins by the bar for a little while yet* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:30 pm *They'll ask her plenty of questions about her automaton, and later, offer to play a game upstairs on the screens with her.* B 11:31 pm *yay questions and game* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:32 pm *That was a painful quote to share, but he doesn't have anything better to expressly illustrate his reasoning.* *He distracts himself with the petting. The fur is still - it's so overwhelming, but that's probably more helpful than frustrating right now.* Tarantulas 11:32 pm *difficult-to-read thoughts are percolating for a minute before tarantulas answers* Tarantulas 11:38 pm [It's - not a matter of control, so much as doing what's /best/. That lies outside of anyone's control. Prowl can decide what he wants, but he might not even know the POSSIBILITIES - that is, he may hurt himself by isolating himself - and what is our - my - responsibility to Prowl other than to make sure he doesn't do such a thing? Clarity is impossible, but doing nothing while waiting for the smoke to clear - no. Not acceptable. That is to say, also, I don't know exactly what to do or suggest, but nothing - nothing is not - not enough.] ItsyBitsySpyers 11:40 pm *His hand goes still.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:45 pm [[You do not know what is best. You -cannot- know, because we do not know what is -wrong.- If he hurts himself by isolating himself, then we offer to help repair him. And it is -our-]] he heard that "my" [[responsibility to assume that the mech who helped direct the -entire Autobot army- can direct himself for some time without our interference.]] [[He said nothing. Nothing -will- be enough.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 11:47 pm [][][]You might know a lot - but not even you know everything.[][][] Yesterday Tarantulas 11:52 pm [Just because someone skillfully directs others doesn't necessarily mean they can direct themselves as neatly! That - that is to say - he is highly competent, but not infallible, and - if there is something we can do, we should take that opportunity - of course, something that doesn't go against his wishes , but -] *a quote? ...it goes in one audial and out the other* [I DON'T know everything, I'm painfully aware of that fact, and I want to know! I /need/ to know. For - for Prowl.] ItsyBitsySpyers 12:01 am *The old urge to crush the spider under his hand briefly resurges in a locked-off part of his mind. He pushes it aside. It might solve his current irritation with Tarantulas' refusal to listen, but it'd destroy a valuable resource, one of the only ones who doesn't judge him for his own interest in Prowl, and he really, really doubts Prowl would be happy that he did it when he found out.* [[No. During the war, we encountered countless "opportunities". Not all of them are meant to be taken. A truly intelligent mech knows the difference... or else is willing to learn. And when the wish is 'nothing', -all- things go against it.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 12:02 am [[And you do not need to know for Prowl. You need to know for yourself. As he does.]] Feel that roiling urge to pester and pester and pester until he finds out - and the tight leash on which it is kept. [[We cannot have everything we want, Tarantulas. It is unwise to seek that.]] Tarantulas 12:03 am *oh, the 'willing to learn' part bit stung a little for reasons he's not disclosing* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:04 am *Good. Half of these are barbs simultaneously directed at himself. They can sting together.* Tarantulas 12:08 am [Nothing, one person's nothing - where do the lines end? What ARE we allowed to do? Must we sit here and bicker, bide, waste? Because -] *ugh, no. nnnno. he does not like that last bit. he's literally just going to suppress a swell of thoughts and emotions and keep going down his other path* [What if - the Constructicons? They might know something, and we wouldn't have to bother Prowl?] ItsyBitsySpyers 12:15 am [[The nothing of the person you claim is your -entire world.- We are allowed to sit and be patient, and perhaps learn to speak to one another instead.]] He shifts uneasily when Tarantulas brings up the Constructicons. That's... that's a good point, and while he suspects they don't exactly like him, he's pretty sure they don't hate him either. They like Rumble well enough, anyway. [[...No. They are part of each other. It is a backdoor. A cheat.]] Tarantulas 12:15 am *a thought flickers through in a millisecond - he could step off soundwave's lap and selectively touch him in order to parse his thoughts secretly, but that would mean he would be being shady* *thankfully he doesn't worry about it with soundwave's response right now* Tarantulas 12:23 am [We - we could. Speak. It's just uncomfortable -] *that gush of feeling is easily read* [- to wait. Even if it's not 'doing nothing'. Prowl is - distressed; I'M distressed. YOU'RE distressed. What is there to speak about? A distraction?] ... [And I - suppose... Would it REALLY hurt to comm them, though...? I...] ItsyBitsySpyers 12:33 am [[Of course it is uncomfortable.]] The vague sense of wanting to find someone and punish them for this. Nobody should be making the ones he wants to protect feel this way. Maybe a hint of failure in there as well? [[It does not change what is true. And it would hurt. Prowl will know if you do, and he will be displeased. You know that. He has been before.]] [[A distraction would be most welcome, if you are amenable to one. He can think of several.]]

At this point I left the stream for the night. Apparently Soundwave and Tarantulas are still talking.
