• YOU AWAKE IN A HAZE, head throbbing and body aching. A cloud of mental fog clings to your mind as you drag yourself up off the ground and onto your feet; You have… no idea where you are. Laid out before you is an old castle turned hotel, sprawling hundreds of acres over the lush and extravagant countryside. Turning and looking into the valley, you can see a modest city off in the distance, as well as a towering Spire erupting from it’s center. Without any idea as to how you got here, and that city being much too far to walk to at the moment, you have no choice but to head inside.
Despite being so old, the insides of the hotel are immaculate and very well kept. It looks to be a place fitting of royalty! The front desk is empty, but behind it is a list of rules that all ‘tenants’ must follow, as well as a guestbook with room keys and a list of names. The hotel has everything one might need; Luxurious rooms, a large fully-stocked dining hall, a gorgeous courtyard, and even a pool. But… no staff.
Who’s keeping this place so tidy? Why does the hotel fix itself over time? Why can’t anyone leave? Why is the town desolate? This place seems to be rolling with mystery, mysteries that you will all have to band together to figure out the answers to! Good luck! •

I should probably note somewhere that a large chunk of my worldbuilding with Air and her Insecticon hive was done on discord, in a private MFRP. A lot of the headcanons and lore surrounding the little freaks isn’t, yanno, out there...
Do you have a favorite "kid"?
❝ . . . Do you have a favorite limb? Because I wouldn’t mind ripping it from it’s socket as penance for such an insulting question. ❞
❝ These creatures are one of the few things in the universe that don’t revolt me. To neglect them like that would not only go against my programming, but would also be a tremendous waste of time and potential. ❞
The glow of her optics against her datapad dims slightly as they narrow. ❝ Furthermore, playing favorites shows a weakness in character, and is a trait that can be easily exploited. I am not so stupid as to put that on display. ❞

Alright, I guess I should stop bein’ a nervous goofball and actually let myself branch out.
Here is my very tentative mutuals only starter call, uncapped for now. Like this post, and i’ll pop into your IM’s to plot something with you! Expect something short and sweet. Since it’s uncapped, and i’m still trying to work myself into writing again, i’ll likely be pretty selective. Please keep that in mind! ♡

“I guess that explains why he ate the friend I got for him.”
That, and Problem has grown alarmingly big in a short period of time. He’d been small enough to perch on the very tip of one of their claws the day he was left at their eyrie, and now he can barely fit in their palm. He’s one spoiled spider, evidently.
“So, how’re the kids? How’s Scuttle?”
Whirl drops to sit cross-legged on the floor, fishing a datapad out of their cockpit to tap away at its screen with their mandibles. “It’s been so long since I last saw her, she’s probably as big as I am now!”
❝ Arachnoids don’t need silly things like friends, isn’t that right little one. ❞ She chitters quietly, stroking Problem’s chelicerae with a single claw. He certainly was a bit of an attention hog, with how he leaned into the affections and refused to let her pull her hand away. What a charmer.
The mention of her hive brings Airachnid out of her focus and back into the conversation. Good thing, she might’ve fallen in love for the little creature in her arms if she sat staring at him any longer.
❝ The children are doing well. Very well, in fact. ❞ The spider hums whilst she moves over to her worktable, ❝ Scuttle is just as clingy as she’s always been, despite being nearly full grown. It makes getting anything done difficult, but... I manage. ❞
Fully grown for an average Insecticon worker was about the size of a small car. It was a miracle her lab wasn’t trashed at this point.
♕ @ofpolyhex replied to your post: "Sorry, Queenie." They hold the fat, placid arachnoid up like a small newbuild. "Wanna hold him while I order some glitch-mice? He's super lazy, so he might fall asleep on you."
❝ Moderately more appropriate. ❞
She regards the creature with a slightly disinterested look at first, before a certain fondness blinks into her optics. No matter how many times she interacts with Arachnoids, it’s never any less strange. Obviously, the beast fusses when he’s passed off, angrily brushing his pedipalps against his face to create a scraping hiss noise.
❝ You forget that arachnoids are solitary creatures. They don’t take kindly to others that are like them, myself included. ❞
To soothe him, she makes a low clicking noise from the back of her throat, while brushing her claws over his feet to get him a bit more accustomed to her presence. This seems to work, as he settles into the crook of her arm after a few moments.
Crisis averted.
"Legs! Leeeegs. What do venomous arachnoids like to eat? Problem's gone off his buzzflies."
❝ Haven’t I told you to stop calling me that? ❞
❝ Any way; Depending on the size of the arachnoid, it may need a more... robust diet than just buzzflies. Small to medium larvae of random Insectoids may work... Or glitch-mice. ❞
Aaaah, I got a bunch of new followers from that promo yesterday ( Howdy, by the way! Thank you so much! ), and i’d love to make a starter call, but i’m so nervous.

🦄 PHYSICAL HEALTH HEADCANON // All Verses
Because of how rare Arachnicons are, a lot of the time, medic’s really don’t know what to... do about Airachnid. Her internals have all sorts of wild things thrown in that they were never trained for, and there’s been multiple points where an injured Airachnid was left sitting in the medbay with the doctors just going ‘I give up’.
It’s because of this that she’s taught herself just enough first aid to know how to survive. She’s reattached her own mandibles countless times at this point, and though she’s certainly no Ratchet, she has a way with the welder’s torch.
🥛 and ⌛!

🥛 DRINK HEADCANON // Prime Verse
Due to a quirk in her biology, Air needs to take in a lot of fluids to function properly. This is because of how her venom is made, a complicated process in which extremely concentrated sulfuric acid is created within organs in her throat and collarbone area. That process has a high demand for liquids, as is usually sated with Energon, and sometimes water.
An interesting effect of this process though is that, because of how her body tends to reroute liquids to these organs instead of her fuel lines, Air can’t get drunk. You could have her drink an entire keg of top shelf Engex and she’d only get slightly buzzed. This ended up turning into a little bit of a party trick somewhere down the line, with the biggest and toughest Decepticon warriors hearing about her reputation for ‘being able to handle a drink’, challenging her, and having to deal with the shame of inevitably losing to a petite bot that’s half their size.
Needless to say, she never explains exactly why she can drink everyone under the table. It’s funnier if they don’t know.
⌛ SLEEP HEADCANON // All Verses
With how small she is, Airachnid doesn’t need to recharge all that often. In fact, she can go weeks without hitting the slab once. Of course, if she’s doing strenuous work like flying or burrowing, she’ll need to rest at some point but her resilience otherwise is second to none. This makes her a great infiltrator, because she can afford to take her time out in the field to time things just right.
Despite all that though, she ‘naps’ quite a bit. if she’s able to, she’ll crawl into one of her web hammocks, get comfy, and just offline her non-essential systems for a few cycles multiple times in a day. And since coming to Earth, she’ll also take little chances to go out and rest in the sun when she can, since the warmth soothes some old war wounds.
Also, she clicks her fangs in her sleep.

😡 ANGER HEADCANON // All Verses
Real actual anger isn’t something Air feels often. She has such a strong ‘i’m better than this, so it doesn’t need to concern me’ mentality when it comes to things like insults or personal attacks, that it all just kinda... bounces off? This is, of course, with the whole being a societal punching bag thing. Either way, anger isn’t a good look for her, and it’s really hard for things to get under her skin so to speak.
When it does get under though, it’s not a pretty sight. She lashes out, literally, and she will make whatever she does to the offender as painful as possible if given the chance. She’s not the kind of ‘i’m going to throw and break things’ kind of angry, she’s the ‘i’m going to slowly pull the plating from your arm, pluck out every single little circuit one by one, and make you say your apology through tears’ kind of angry. There’s a method to it, a certain level of focus that makes her a whole different beast entirely.
Of course there are a handful of instances where we see her have proper outbursts, i.e. when her ship crashes in Prime and the trees around the site are just covered in angry claw marks or literally melted through. I feel like if someone ever got her as angry as that did, they probably wouldn’t be, uh, long for this world.
💣 STRESS HEADCANON // All Verses
Compounding with above, I don’t feel as if Airachnid gets stressed often. Again, she has a way of just shrugging off things that bother her that lets her handle things with a certain grace and clear-headedness. Even when faced with death, she simply meets it with a snide remark about wanting Arcee to give her the courtesy of making it hurt. She’s impossible to frighten through normal means as well.
Funnily enough, the only way I can see her ever getting actually stressed wouldn’t be in some battle or whatever, but rather it’d be because of her own worldview. Meaning, if someone challenged her and tore down her mode of thinking, peeling away those defensive walls she’s set up. The Queen complex, the love of causing pain, the trauma, the mistreatment... If she was reduced to what she is, which really is just a... scared animal, and if she was forced to witness that and confront it, i’m not sure she’d know what to do with herself.
In reference to my latest HORRENDOUSLY LONG POST, I really do love talking about Air’s stupid fucking... Queen complex, cause it has no bounds.
You could put Primus in front of her, and she’d just say, ‘ Well, he’s tiny, drab and he has stupid glasses, so obviously i’m still better. What’s your point. ’

💕 LOVE HEADCANON // All Verses
There is one core rule that can be applied to pretty much everything when it comes to Airachnid; She HAS to be impressed. If she isn’t impressed by something, it’s not going to get anywhere, because she doesn’t view it as being worth her time. This is probably because after millennia of being told that she’s lesser, she’s turned that around and internalized it as ‘oh, society hates me and says these things because i’m actually WAY BETTER than they are and that intimidates them.’ She has a literal Queen complex, and that totally shapes how she interacts with everything and everyone.
This rule of needing to ‘prove yourself’ especially applies to people trying to pursue any kind of relationship with her. Once you understand that she is always watching you for little slip ups, for mistakes in your ‘performance’, you’ll have a way better chance on actually getting on her good side. Of course there’s also the fact that she has unrealistically high expectations from people, so even if someone DID try their hardest, it’s totally possible that their best just... isn’t good enough.
all of that, it’s no surprise that Airachnid has never had much love in her life. She builds up all these walls as a defense mechanism, and it.. works, but it’s also not very healthy. She insists that she’s happier alone, that a Queen works better when her judgement isn’t clouded by outside interferences, but that’s not entirely true. Insecticons are inherently social, and she’s no different. She just needs to get over the terrifying reality that she’s going to need to step down and let someone in finally.
Luckily for her, in one verse, someone danced THEIR dance very well, and actually managed to charm her off that stupid throne of hers. ♡
🏡 HOME HEADCANON // Prime Verse
For most of her pre-war life ( 2 million years or so ), Air lived in Kaon. More specifically, she lived in a burrow that she dug out in the side of one of Kaon’s dozens of canyons. It sat high above the smelting pits below, and was far enough away that she couldn’t hear the constant bustle of construction workers. When you’re public enemy number 1 for the fault of your birth, it kinda pays to be unreachable.
The structure itself was deep and ever changing, with her meticulously carving out intricate winding passages and false ends to dissuade people from investigating. If that wasn’t enough, the passages that came closer to the main cavern where she actually lived tended to be lined with traps or meshsteel webbing. Thankfully, all of these defenses didn’t see too much use, but there was a few instances in which they were literal life savers.
The main cavern was bare bones by most standards. It had a recharge slab that she built over the years, stacks of data pads to teach herself with, and a few cubes of Energon stacked away for an emergency. Other than that, there wasn’t much else, but she didn’t mind. It was safe and quiet, and she could nap for days in her web hammocks if she wanted to, so how could she complain? Home is home.
During the war, her cavern was unfortunately destroyed and paved over like most of Kaon. A bittersweet moment for her, but at that point, she was busy climbing the Decepticon chain of command, so she was a little pre-occupied.
🍬 FAMILY HEADCANON // TFA Verse
Air’s relationship with Insecticons is, like with most things with her, increasingly complicated. She has a persona of being this cold, calculating loner that she fights to keep up, but there’s this fact of her basic programming that is impossible to change; As much as she didn’t want to admit it, she does feel a genuine love and fondness for the creatures. They communicate with her on a very deep, instinctual level, and give her a sense of normalcy and belonging that she doesn’t get anywhere else. At first, she hated it, but she’s grown to appreciate it, and finally fully accept it.
So, knowing that, it’s unsurprising that she has a fierce over protectiveness for the little hive she’s made in her lab. She’s named them, watched them go through every stage of life, nurtured them and taught them everything they needed to know. There is a visible change in her tone and demeanor when she goes from talking to someone else in Team Charr, to when she’s dealing with one of the bugs. It’s extremely jarring, and at first a few of them would crack jokes about it, but that quickly stopped once they had to face the brunt of her mama bear mentality.
If you’re really quiet during down hours, and listen really closely, you can probably hear her chirping at the hive as she tucks them away for recharging.
