Surveying the Skies

Greetings, I am Blackbird. I greatly appreciate your company, my friend. (IDW/MTMTE Transformers OC)

Feeling nostalgic

Long post, sorry in advance..

A thought crossed my mind ages while ago when the trailer for tfone came out - man, people are going to get a kick out of rping orion and d-16. Then it hit me - I wonder what's going on with the tf rp blogs? Then it hit me AGAIN, how much I missed everyone on here and how much I missed the muse!

I've stayed logged into my personal for the last few years and immediately went to re-read old rp threads (man, my writing and Blackbird's portrayal was cringe 😂) and oh god. THE FEELINGS.

I miss all of you guys so much. Its been about 10 years, seeing so many de-activated blogs or blogs with no updates for YEARS is hard. I suppose I fell under that category as well... Cyc mun, wanderer, you've literally stolen my heart 💔 I hope you're both okay wherever you are.

Anyhow, it took about 6 months of trying, but I got back in here 🙌 Probably won't be around anywhere near as much as I was, but I'll be lurking in the shadows somewhere!

Got a little art in the works (pre-warning, it's bad as usual 🤣) I'll put up here soon.

I hope you're all well and maybe catch up with some of you soon 🖤🤍

Bird-mun, out.

A little something for old times sakes - because a little night time flying never hurt anyone! Blackbirds had an upgrade in alt-mode to the SR-72 Darkstar, suits her better I think.

How fast do we think they're going..? 🤔

Some MTMTE doodles because I wanted to, I am sorry I currently don’t really have the time to make too many colored things!

‘Broody McGrump-face’ has always been in the top 10 but I never got round to drawing him 83

Blackbird hadn’t noticed that she was very much alone in the corner of the room, too busy swirling what was left of her drink and staring at the ancient star map on the table to even care. It was only when her audio receptors picked up someone walking over to her that the dark seeker was brought back into reality, wings twitching softly as they drew nearer.

Startled slightly by the mech, she swung and stared daggers straight at him, until realising that he wasn’t about to throw her out or start a fight. “Oh, I’m um.. Sorry for that. Rave is the one who normally runs the bar if I am correct? If you were planning on closing then I’m terribly sorry for keeping you! But if you’re offering.. drinks sounds good.” She smiled, golden optics soft as she did so.

Shadowstorm frowned slightly. “Yes, Rave is the owner, right now she’s resting though…she decided to get overcharged with the rest of the club last night…It was a special night after all. But I’m not closing, we’re open 24/7 unless somethings happened.” He offered a tight smile before nodding.

“Alright…Drinks.” He turned and went towards the bar, easily hopping over it and grabbing a cube. “High or normal grade?”

[commanderblackbird]

"Ah I see.. High grade, please." She replied, returning his tight smile before rubbing her temple. "I'm sorry, I'm not a great conversationalist... My designation's Blackbird by the way, I believe I haven't introduced myself until now.."

I don’t know what type of blog you run if you don’t have swimming robots on it.

[gnusnoteunuchs]

Hydrodynamics don’t work like that????

[luccota-deactivated20160305]

yES THEY DO FUCK OFF

[gnusnoteunuchs]

They really don’t but ok

[roadbustah-deactivated20170421]

Welcome to the Transformers fandom where the robots fuck and the hydrodynamics don’t matter.

Alright alright ALRIGHT. So for class I’m doing this assignment bla bla bla AND I find out that Frank Welker (MEGATRON) has voiced KERMIT THE FROG on multiple occasions.

Please do imagine the following:

Rather than Megatron reading poetry, he brings a Kermit puppet and does a ventriloquy act

At one point he sings “It’s Not Easy Being Green” and spends the whole song looking at Minimus/Magnus

Megatron bringing the puppet to meetings and talks through it the whole meeting just to piss off Magnus

At some point, when Ravage is sulking, Megatron tries to coax him out by talking as Kermit (he had to get a new puppet after that one)

BOTH MEGATRON AND THE KERMIT DOLL DOING THE FACE

Thank you for your time

[fulcrumisthebomb]

May I add:

I grew up with Frank Welker as Fred from Scooby-Doo

So whenever I need a laugh I imagine the latest Decepticon plan falling to shit and Megs just stands there amid the destruction, angry pout firmly on his craggy face, and in a deep rumble says “Jinkies”

This post brought me so much joy I had to doodle something

I AM VERY PROUD OF WHAT THIS HAS BECOME

[r18mogeko-deactivated20141223]

okay, but seriously

please tell me if

im being too rude / gone too far

i have said something offensive

something i have said is wrong

and tell me how i have done any of this

dont just say “youre rude” and walk off. tell me how im being rude and i will try to fix it.

do: explain how i have done something wrong. it doesnt have to be a extremely detailed. 

do not: say ive done something wrong and walk away. it will leave me confused and nothing will be resolved

its not that hard

[commanderblackbird]

me: i love drawing

me: *draws*

me: i hate drawing

[cathagbheag]

If u wanna be my friend u have to understand that sometimes I can’t cope with conversations. And just because I’m on tumblr effectively shouting into the void but not replying to your message doesn’t mean I hate u it just means that the thought of talking to anyone in depth is extremely overwhelming

[firmest]

Well fuck. Your smile is brighter than the sunrise and your eyes seem to shine brighter than the stars in the midnight sky.
