Wanna leave my old life behind

Canon divergent G1 Thundercracker ask/rp blog | Multiverse and oc friendly | Semi-selective | M!A: None | SFW only | Written by Katie M.

[cerulean-seeker]

ooc | A few changes to the blog...

Hi. I'm in the (very) slow process of maybe trying to revive this blog; I never intended to leave it behind forever, though certain factors keep me from it still. Nevertheless, I think in time, I might start being active again, like I kept planning. Actually, spending some time away from TC helped me put his blog and character into perspective, and I want to switch focus/time skip a few elements in his verses:

1: I might change the main verse again to be the "Autobot Aid" verse, where he's reluctantly defected to the Bots for shelter and sanctuary from Megatron's wrath. It's a very versatile set up, which can even play into Season 3 of G1 (since he defected mid-season 2)

Now that's Might. It's not settled yet, but I'll let you know if I make the change.

2: Thunder's romantic drive is going to be lower. When I first created this blog, he was on the aro-ace spectrum, unsure if he could even feel love (and was okay with that). This doesn't mean I'm killing Thunderrose or any chance for another ship. He can feel love and form a strong bond with his amanti. It does mean that he's not really into the 'formalities' of romance, or things like flirting (he's not good at it anyway. He just knows to make his voice low and that usually works lol). He's not overly affectionate, and cuddles/kisses are usually reciprocated and not initiated. ...Usually. Not always.

This is NOT to say he doesn't care about what his s/o wants or feels. Rosie, for example, is very expressive of her love for TC and loves going on dates and doing couple things; Thunder obliges bc she likes it, and he likes making her happy.

3: Thunder's mental health will be improving, but he still has some way to go. This pretty much applies to all verses/threads in varying degrees. He's still sorta grumpy, and still has bouts of depression, but he's finally moved past hating himself, and has forgiven himself of his past deeds (well, most of them). However, he still has doubts about assimilating himself in the new environments that have been introduced to him, due in part to his social anxiety. There are still asocial tendencies to overcome.

His unhealthy coping mechanisms also show signs of improvement. He's able to do these things because he enjoys them, and not to rely on them as a crutch for negative emotions.

concept: everything’s okay. you’re not bitter anymore, you stop criticising everything. people love you. you are at peace with yourself, no longer numb or in pain. good things are on the horizon. you’re doing the best you can and you’re happy with your progress.

@cerulean-seeker When Megatron was killed by the Autobots, Starscream jumped on the opportunity to start a ceasefire.  He immediately sent out orders to the Decepticon ordering them to stand down so that he could speak with the Autobots.  While some disobeyed, it was enough to allow him to start discussions with the Autobots, for everyone’s sake. Starscream wanted his trine beside him in the talks The Autobots would doubtlessly bring more than just the Prime, so why shouldn’t he have the mechs who kept him level headed?

[cerulean-seeker]

Thunder smiled sympathetically at Starscream before he went out the door and towards the diner. The sentiment was touching to hear, that Starcream was now relearning to prioritize teamwork and his fellow Seekers' safety along with his own, but the reasoning he had for expressing such a defense... it didn't make sense. There were no threats out here; no Cybertronian from either faction knew their location. Well... this might have been an honest mistake; if Thunder can show Starscream that nothing was going to happen to them today, perhaps he could finally calm down and enjoy their time here.

Meanwhile, Skywarp had managed to get himself out of bed. "You're up already?" he asked groggily, "...TC's gone too. Man, even as humans, you guys are still early birds."

He hissed, trying to keep his voice low enough that the spy outside couldn’t possibly hear.  “Are you blind and deaf?  That’s Loudpedal, get away from the window!  We’ve been compromised somehow, gotta find somewhere new to go.”

“What the…Loudpedal?? That ain’t Loudpedal! No way would he come back to Earth just to mess with us– let alone let humans ride in him like that!” He paused, considering the immense fear the other was feeling. “…What’s the matter with you, you afraid we’re gonna get hunted down or somethin’?” he asked, softening his voice in concern. Starscream was seeming a little antsy lately..

[thebestdecepticonleader]

Starscream dragged TC with him to the bathroom, not heeding the other’s protests.  Once they were inside and the door was shut, Starscream said, “I’m not going to hide while you get yourself spotted and killed.  It’s bad enough that they are looking, we don’t have to make it easier by jumping out waving at them saying, ‘Here I am, come and shoot me’.”

[cerulean-seeker]

Thunder’s brow furrowed. He can’t stay here and argue the other’s claims all day, despite how concerning they are. “Starscream, we’re not being targeted. No one even knows we’re here, let alone can pick us out in a crowd. …Come on, at least let me get ready for work.”

[thebestdecepticonleader]

“Wait here.”  Starscream crawled along the floor check the window.  He peeked out, before crawling back.  “There’s enough chaos outside that he’s not likely to spot us in here.  He doesn’t know exactly where we are or he would have already attacked us.  Just be quick and if I tell you to get down, you get down without question, okay?”

[cerulean-seeker]

Giving Starscream another skeptical look, Thunder still complied with his trinemate, avoiding the windows as he slipped into the bathroom to get ready. By the time he was finished, the humans who were parked outside gathered in their vehicle again and drove off for the beach. 

Thunder exited the bathroom just in time to see them start the engine and drive away. “See, I told you it was nothing suspicious,” he reassured, “Can I go to the diner now?”

The Prime and The Thunder

It has been a few days, and Optima was starting to get worried. She has been in this verse for about 2 months, and something new has happened in this verse. Thundercracker has come to the Autobots to try and escape Megatron and the Decepticons. Normally it would be Starscream, or all three of them. But each verse is different. 

But that’s not what had Optima worried. She was worried about Thundercracker. He hasn’t left the room they gave him in about 3 days. The Autobots didn’t want her to interact with Thundercracker, because they were not sure if he was a spy or not. But Optima could tell he wasn’t. He was scared, confused, and needed someone to lean on. So she grabs a cube of energon, and goes to his door. 

She gently knocks. “Thundercracker?” She asked while hoping he would open up. She wanted to be there for him. Just like how she tries to be there for everyone.

Optima frowns a bit. She knew this was going to be a little hard for him to believe. “My name is Optima Prime. I am from a different verse. One where all the mechs are actually femmes. Basically I am a femme Optimus.” She said while worrying that this was going to push him more away, but she doesn’t like lying. So she is always truthful.  “I have brought you some energon, you have been in your room for three days. Me and the medics were getting worried about you.” She said while waiting for him to open the door. Even if he doesn’t let her in, she would sit outside his door, trying to make him feel comfortable.

Now he was even more confused. ’Verse’? As in, another universe? Have the Autobots developed dimension-hopping technology?? Even if this femme was telling the truth, that’s no concern of his. Thunder knew he had to cooperate with the bots, but if the medics wanted him to report, they’d message him, not play passive aggressive games.

“I get my daily rations,” he retorted, “and I’m completely healthy.” Relatively… “I’ll go to the medbay when I need to.” He could end this here and now. Shoo her away and take the energon (if there is energon). But the curiosity persisted. What would a femme Optimus Prime even look like? Maybe he should open the door and find out…

[optimaprime8]

“Technically, I am the one that is most worried about you. I know this must be really hard on you, So I am going to be the brave one out of the Autobots, and try to help you and become your friend if you are okay with it.” She said while worrying about him. “If you wish I can just stay outside the door, and we can talk if that will make you comfortable.” She said while not want to push too hard. 

She wanted to make sure he was okay, had everything he needed. And stuff to help pass his time. But she was also worried that Thundercracker might not like the fact that she is a femme Prime. There has been multiple dimensions where she has gone and they despised her for being a femme. So she is going to take things slow. So she doesn’t upset him and make him leave. 

[cerulean-seeker]

It wasn’t that she was a femme Prime, or just a femme. It was her demeanor towards him that made him suspicious. So…nice. It couldn’t be genuine, at least towards the enemy. The war killed all remnants of kindness years ago. This femme couldn’t be believed; that, or she was too young and naïve to know better.

Better to get this sorted out now and not drag this out. At last, Thundercracker opened the door. “Look, I don’t know what your-” he started, but was caught off guard by the sight before him. She was being literal: every part of her frame looked like Optimus Prime’s, if it was outfitted for a femme. Was she some sort of Optimus emulator?? Or…maybe she really is from another dimension…

[optimaprime8]

Optima sees him and smiles. She giggles a bit as he freezes. “The truth is hard to accept at times.” She said while giving him a sweet smile. She is genuine. She isn’t naive, nor is she young. She has just been through a lot, and has been broken beyond anything. But she hides all that behind a smile. 

She knows there is a lot of anger and hatred in the world, but she tries to make a difference everywhere she goes. “Like I have said, I am form a dimension where everyone is a femme.” She said while giggling as she offers him the energon cube. “I have a device that allows me to jump between dimensions, but it has to recharge.” She said while smiling at him sweetly. 

[cerulean-seeker]

"No kidding..." Thundercracker remarked, still in disbelief. Looks like interdimensional travel does exist now. This might give the Autobots the upper hand they've been looking for...somehow. Well, if Thunder has to get involved, he will, but until then, all he has to deal with is the femme in front of him.

The Seeker took a glance at the energon cube being offered to him, and hesitantly took it, storing it in subspace to be tested later. He knows about taking energon from strangers. "Listen-- Optima, was it? I don't know what you really want from me, if you're really just here to check up on me or somethin'. But I don't need someone making sure I'm still online; I can take care of myself. You can...fight for the right of sentient beings or whatever somewhere else." Despite his blunt dismission of her, his tone lacked any harshness. He just wanted to be done with her and her 'kindness'. She'll find out he's not worth her time.

No one trusted this Decepticon, not in the slightest. Thundercracker knew from the start that this was how it would be. However, he wasn't sure how much he could trust them, either. He wasn't even sure if he had made the right decision coming here. But, it was either this or living off the organic land, possibly starving to death before he could sneak back to Cybertron. There was no returning to the Decepticons; even if he could conjure a lie about his disappearance to Megatron...he couldn't go back. Not with the Decepticons in this state.

So, here he was, in the heart of the enemy stronghold, not allied to any side, but doing what he thought was best for Cybertronian-kind - and his own survival. Thundercracker was fortunate that he was able to negotiate getting a room for himself, instead of being stuck in the brig. The inside information he provided to the Bots got him at least that much. Still, optics were on him at all times: leering, distrusting, judgmental optics. He had never felt so out of place in his life. So why bother leaving his room when it's not important?

Thunder was lying on his berth, staring blankly at the ceiling, when he heard the voice on the other side of the door. Was that-- a femme? He thought all the female Autobots went into hiding on Cybertron - none were on the Ark, last he knew. It got him to approach the door out of curiosity, but not open it. "Who's there?" he asked stiffly, hiding his confusion.

Arcee: ☔

Spring-Themed Scenarios

☔ - Our Muses get stuck in a sudden spring shower!

It wasn't common for Cybertron to rain, so Thundercracker had almost forgotten how frequently it rained on Earth. And of course, the weather decided to pour on him and Arcee when they were paying their Earth colony a visit. Thunder himself didn't mind getting wet, and he found the atmosphere somewhat pleasant; it just made his sensors all fuzzy, which sort of complicates communications.

"What'd'ya know, it rained after all," the Seeker remarked nonchalantly, holding a servo out to feel the miniscule water droplets, "We should probably head for shelter, huh?"

[cerulean-seeker]

Thunder paid no mind to how wet either of them were - again, it felt good to him. The distant rolling thunder concerned him a little, though. If there was any risk of lighting, he and Arcee should book it out of their before the storm reaches them and sees them as the giant lightning rods they are. It was far enough away for now, though, so there was no sense of urgency.

Gaze shifting from Arcee back to the rain clouds, Thunder recalled his first rainstorm. "Yeah, I did, for a moment - till Soundwave's analysis told us that it was just water. It was pretty annoying at first, how it'd make the ground all muddy and everything stick to ya. But, I dunno, I guess I got used to it. Heh, to be honest, I wouldn't mind staying out here a while longer... I mean, long as you're fine with it." As much as he enjoyed the environment, he wasn't going to stick around if it bothered Arcee. Her position on things mattered more to him than he thought they would.

[grand-galvatron]

Everyone found it strange how water could fall from the sky. Its such a rare thing to come across since water does exist on Cybertron, but only whenever an ice meteor crashes onto the planet. No one’s allowed to touch it unless their scientists. Even then, they tried to figure out a purpose for water and what it can do to help the Cybertronian race.

The pink femme remained still, nodding at his words. “I won’t mind, it is a lovely view.” She stared at the flowers, how thick drops of water poured off their petals. There’s a constant soft pattering of water hitting their metal bodies. The faint sound of thunder soon made the sky light up as it struck the Earth. Arcee glanced at Thundercracker, seeing how deep in thought he is. Its still been a while since the end of the new war. Skywarp’s back to his old happy self, and Velvet is being attentive with any changes. It made them look so cute together.

[cerulean-seeker]

Thunder also had been watching with relief that Skywarp had indeed returned to being his old self. And with Velvet looking after him, it would seem the younger Seeker would be okay from now on. Seeing the pair reminded Thunder of his growing relationship with Arcee, how she similarly looked after him as he attempted to adjust to this life yet again; and once again, Skywarp seemed to settle into it easier than his brother, who had more memories - and now a battle with addiction - to deal with. The only difference this time around is...Arcee made things feel easier to him. Just to have one more person, someone he actually cares a lot about, to have his back - made a big difference.

Thundercracker smiled a little at the femme's comment, happy to be out here with her. It vanished the instant he saw the sky light up, as another boom struck the air. "Well, so long as that storm doesn't reach us, I think we'll be okay."

Perhaps it was a lapse in judgement, or him being lost in thought and not watching himself, but Thunder found himself resting his servo on Arcee's shoulder. It was gentle, and almost protective. So natural, that he didn't realize he was doing it, aside from a subconscious wing flutter.

"What'd'ya know, it rained after all," the Seeker remarked nonchalantly, holding a servo out to feel the miniscule water droplets, "We should probably head for shelter, huh?"

[grand-galvatron]

“They do say that April Showers bring May Flowers.” She rose her servos to cup the pouring rain. “Doesn’t this feel nice? Everyone kept saying how much it feels like a free carwash. But, we should find a tree big enough for the both of us.” She led the blue Seeker through the raining flower fields. They’d been exploring around the colony for a while since Skywarp’s long recovery. A way to help him heal from the trauma of his near death, a way for her to heal as well. 

But, the war is over now and everyone can heal for one more time until something may emerge someday, but for now, its a good time to enjoy peace without fearing the worst. This whole time made Arcee’s Spark feel more fluttery towards him. It made her wonder if she did like him. Maybe in this time, they can be more closer as they wait for the rain to stop.

[cerulean-seeker]

Thundercracker lingered awhile when Arcee began searching for shelter, focused on the feeling of raindrops on his plating. In the past, he showed little care for rain; it was neither a hindrance or a pleasure. Now felt different. As the Seeker lidded his optics, gaze on the cloudy horizon, the drops trailed down his face and hung on the rim of his helm.

He, too, felt the burdens of war slowly being lifted. It was both easier and more difficult than the first time the Decepticon forces were defeated; easier in that Thunder had more ahead of him this time, like his brother and, dare he say it, friends; harder, because Galvatron's sudden return shocked him out of his first (albeit pitiful) attempt at peaceful living. For all he knows, maybe this truly isn't the end either. But, all that ceased to matter in this moment. All Thundercracker felt was more of his old self, the pain of his old memories, being washed away by this rain.

At last, he shook himself off, fluttering his wings before following Arcee toward the trees. "You think there's enough around to provide a proper shelter?" he asked her, as if he was never lost in thought.
