Hey siri what is grief-baiting

[eashgirl]

Would it be too much to ask for TFO StarWaveWave headcanons?how do you think they first met? I'm all ears whatever opinion you have. I'm starved.

I was going to say maybe later since I'm very drained atm,then I realized anon you're right, you and I are both starved so here are some headcanons. A lot of my headcanons are actually pre-war/pre-Prime's murder, so I guess could be considered AU-ish because I am desperate for pre canon content of them.

• I like to think they were just acquaintances by the time they first met, Soundwave had been in the High Guard the longest, for the majority of his life actually he had been around the Primes after being taken in by them when the War escalated,he and Sentinel knew eachother at around the same time since Sentinel was but they weren't that close. Soundwave met Starscream first when the latter was a cadet, at the time they weren't really on speaking terms and Starscream was much closer to Sentinel in the beginning before their relationship got strained.

• Soundwave and Starscream started to actually interact as colleagues after Starscream's promotion, they happened to work with each other and while at times they got annoyed with how the other goes around with things, they did start to deliberately seek out eachother during meetings when Zeta Prime's speeches got too long, and when they talked about Sentinel behind his back. Soundwave isn't one to hold a grudge but he doesn't really like Sentinel much either and they got along because of that.

Plus Soundwave was Megatronus' favourite Guard and Starscream was Prima's, so they had additional opportunities where they were "stuck with eachother" so it became a begrudging but eventually amicable friendship.

• They met Shockwave after the latter was integrated into the High Guard to find a new start for himself, after he was rescued from being a Quintesson civilian hostage at one point and became the head scientist. He and Starscream met a while back before that when Shockwave played a role in helping civilian unrest during the war when the overworld cities were destroyed and refugees had to be escorted to Iacon which was moved underground.

• Starscream was the one who visited Shockwave's lab to ramble about things that some soldier did to annoy him and boast about how he made them do extra work,and other things, much to the latter's exasperation since he really wanted to be alone but he never did bring up anything mentioning Shockwave's trauma or anything to trigger it ,overtime it became a kind of habit between them Shockwave even let him join in on his experiments since Starscream always did want to be a scientist but decided his skills could be used elsewhere since it was wartime,he was pretty excited over it.

• Shockwave and Soundwave had a more normal meeting,they met eachother randomly in the hallway before Zeta Prime introduced them, then went on a mission together, they got along and just decided to start hanging out with eachother because they both thought the other was weird and intriguing.

•Eventually,they just started to choose to hang out together, and conveniently got assigned to missions together. Because the Primes also wanted them to get along Starscream caught on pretty fast because he was used to a lot of Prima's very very eccentric requests but somehow those involving his colleagues happened to be way too obvious, but Prima would always brush it under the rug. It was the same with Megatronus who was somehow even worse at acting than Prima, he'd conveniently nudge them to interact with eachother and even make vague comments here and there under the guise of casual conversation. That confused Soundwave. Solus and Liege Maximo are completely disappointed at their fellow Primes utter lack of acting skills, it's way too obvious what they're trying to do.

•Alpha Trion ships them he's not even going to try to deny it, as does almost the entire High Guard. They are not subtle.

•Sentinel is pretty bitter about it because the three of them have the nerve to somehow grouping up and isolating him (to bitch about him too), and he doesn't get it, why?what did he do? They hate his guts 😭.

• They were pretty much Amica endurae by that point unofficially, Ravage thinks Soundwave's choices are highly questionable but hey if it's working out for you, that's fine I guess. (Going by IDW's dynamic for Soundwave and Ravage, Ravage was one of Megatronus Prime's aides who took in Soundwave because I thought it would be funny)

• They are not the most emotionally open people, Soundwave and Shockwave actually do talk about those things when they are alone but Starscream is very hard to get to open up, he'd rather stew in his own issues than admit help, he'd sooner notice their problems than notice his own. The Waves convinced the Primes to assign him to a therapist because "his anger issues were inhibiting efficiency in the army (and for personal wellbeing)" there was no way he'd agree to go unless it's an order. Starscream knows it's them and he is not happy but he's not going to disobey an order, doesn't mean he won't make very passive aggressive comments to the therapist about them.

•They do occasionally live in a shared apartment for tax reasons, but different beds since they aren't really tactile people unless it's an awfully hard day they do (very rarely) cuddle by the balcony,their expressions of adoration are more gestures, my interpretation of them is very queerplatonic aroace tbh. But that's just me projecting myself on them.

• They argue about anything and everything, they're like an old married couple by how much they argue over the most ridiculous things, they've saved eachother's life more than once during war, it's just a very odd dynamic their strengths do work well when paired, and they do generally get along really well- when they are not arguing over who's turn it is to make dinner,do errands or who's strategy or suggestion is the most superior during war meetings.

•I like to think while not completely unrecognizable by the time they were in the High Guard they were very drastically different from how they were in the movie, Soundwave was more emotionally open and while he's not proud of it he does use his telepathy on his comrades even without their knowledge at times,something he never used to do unless necessary because he blames himself for being unable to see through Sentinel's intentions even while working so close to him. Shockwave's anxieties were not that intense that was mostly the result of being constantly on the run and the past 50 cycles he's constantly on the analysis of everything wrong that could possibly happen as the surface is very dangerous and having Quintessons and Sentinel tracking them did not help, Starscream was already pretty closed off by the time he initially joined the HG,his paranoia after Sentinel's betrayal intensified as he sees it as a personal failure, I like to think he was pretty reasonable back then and was geniunely a good leader he started to spiral during the exile, most of them did.

•They don't have the heart to really comfort eachother the way they want to because they are all depressed and messed up. They wanted the war to end so bad only to be thrust in another war and then another one(the latter was technically their own choice though when they sided with Megatron but it's still sad).

• If any of them are trying to comfort eachother it's Soundwave, and it's done very subtly. Because he knows Starscream would just get annoyed and lash out or Shockwave may have another emotional break, I like to think the other two do try in their own way but they fall short most of the time.

• Soundwave met Laserbeak when the latter nearly tried to claw out Starscream's eyes when they had to evacuate one of their bases after being compromised and decided "I'm adopting you". Laserbeak deliberately gets on Shockwave and Starscream's nerves but they can't really do anything but complain since Soundwave actually likes him, Rumble and Frenzy come afterwards when the Autobot/Decepticon war actually begins, they are their weird adoptive children.

• Their relationship does get more strained as the war escalates and their differing relationship with Megatron, Soundwave's loyalty, Shockwave's mostly neutrality and starting to lean more on logic as an anchor, and Starscream eventually growing to dislike Megatron. This puts them at odds, and there's a sense of betrayal when they aren't on the same page. At times they do even hate eachother. After the war eventually ends...they need therapy and recounselling to work on their issues, but it got better over time.

• Shockwave did try to fix Starscream's voice after the movie at the latters request but was really only able to fix the pitch a little it's still damaged but it's adjusted so the pitch isn't that noticable unless he's yelling- which he unfortunately does a lot besides that it doesn't sound similar to his old voice at all, it's still damaged , they did assure him it's not that bad. He gets annoyed at their horrible attempt at comfort but weirdly appreciates it.

• They have their own merch back when they were HG, it was eventually forgotten over time but Starscream is never living it down that he not only voted for himself in 7 different catogaries under 3 seperate accounts but he and Shockwave both anonymously voted for Soundwave, they all voted for eachother without the other knowing in different catogaries in a fan poll. They don't bring it up much but it's a funny topic Skywarp and Thundercracker bring up at times before being yelled at to shut up.

• Starscream has no concept of personal space, he gets into their space all the time but ironically is the one who hates being touched the most and complains if they touch him without his consent this really drives the other two insane

• Sometimes Shockwave and Soundwave just hang out alone in their apartment just so they can vent about Starscream, he knows they do it and he is annoyed about it, that's partially why he vents about them to his therapist, because two can play at that game. The Primes honestly paid that therapist way too much to keep up those sessions because they genuinely wanted to see if it helped out of...concern lol.

• They have the worst roommate attitude ever, none of them actually want to do the chores, whether because they're busy or just generally got in the mood none of them want to do the dishes and keep playing the blame game until someone eventually gets tired of it and does something about it.

• Playing games is pretty much a no go most of the time, Soundwave really hates those nights, because everytime they try to do it Starscream ends up being way too competitive and drags it out until he wins, (very rarely they begrudgingly let him win on purpose- because otherwise he'd be unbearable the next few days trying to convince them for a rematch, they eventually got tired of this and got equally competitive which means this drags out forever), and Shockwave keeps complaining he's cheating (Soundwave knows both of them are cheating and is side eyeing them the whole time), if it weren't for the fact they had jobs they'd keep this up for hours it doesn't help that they are all pretty competitive and petty.

• They shit talk about eachother too, it's not always malicious they're just the type of people to roast eachother when they think the other is doing something stupid or embarrassing. It's just natural to them, they'd never let the other live it down that they did something embarrassing.

This is still a new ship to me so I'll come with more later.

Ive been thinking about human AU tenna a lot and it drives me sick. His name is Anthony Tannenbaum (stage name Mr Ant Tenna) and he's been a children's entertainer for 60 years. People all over the US grew up on his different shows and he spent a lot of time dedicated to studying child psychology and pedagogy and all those things. He's the collective grandpa-teacher everyone loves. The only difference between his stage persona and his real personality is that he's way less in control of the situation and his disabilities really take their toll on him. He's good at turning on stage mode and talking to fans the way they see him on TV but sometimes "Mike" has to intervene and go "doNT talk to mr tenna right now he is not feeling well" because tenna is on the verge of crying and causing a scene in public would be So Bad (which of course also contributes to his stress. The fact his public persona needs to be run like the navy because countless kids look up to him gives him extreme anxiety and sometimes he shuts down because of it)

He is 6ft9 and everyone feels like a little child talking to him. He does yoga every day, doesn't like eating vegetables, and he's the most nimble 80 year old his doctor has ever seen (he needs to be mobile to be able to sit on the floor and talk to kids and twirl around on stage!). He wears glasses so thick you can barely see his eyes, which are the palest shade of grey. Legally not allowed to drive, which is fine by him because he likes being a passenger princess.

I love him so fucking much. There's a lot more I thought about him and i dont even know what to say

His first love was the sky, so he fell in love with someone named after a constellation.

Ratchet being the atheist of all time is objectively hilarious considering his immediate circle includes:

-his very devout husband

-his close friend, the demigod robopope

-his other friend/boss/annoyance who is also a demigod robopope (frat boy edition)

-his mild mannered co-worker, who is god

Ive always wonder why ao3 seperates the optimus & orion tags. theyre functionally the same bot, just with a different name so why?

Is it because people kept tagging them differently or what 😭?

Which doesn't make sense to me since drift has the same tag with both his names even when I've seen enough fics where people have tagged deadlock seperately

Was it because optimus prime was an established tag before orion pax got popular??? so making them separate was less confusing???

[cravingtakoyaki]

That is a great observation. Tbh I never noticed 😅😅😅

Maybe Drift and Deadlock weren't popular enough on their own to be popular tags so they were lumped together? Cuz they are two very different people like Optimus and Orion. Idk

Dictator Bumblebee TikTok Trend

Hey so their this trend on TikTok right now where everyone is calling Bumblebee the dictator of hasbro cause he's "stealing" all the screen time or whatever

And when I first heard of this trend I genuinely thought the Tumblr transformers community would love it, but I'm seeing Zero discussion about it on here.

So I'm just lowkey here to ask

How do y'all feel about this trend? Do y'all think it's funny? Do you agree with it?, cause i love Bumblebee but I find this trend hilarious

And I'm not even going to lie, I lowkey want more Dictator Bumblebee Content, he would be so cute as a dictator and i lowkey love how when making fanart of dictator Bumblebee, they do different versions of Bumblebee,

I just thinks it's a funny trend that should continue here, come on!!!

Who's on Team Dictator Bumblebee

Or do yall see this as mostly a "tiktok trend" or would you consider this trend more for "male transformers fans" i don't want to make it seem like it's only men who like this trend but their the bigger majority on this trend so I'm just asking cause

When it comes to women Transformers fans, we can all agree that if we don't like a character, we don't need to interact with the stuff they're in

(This is not my art, the creator on TikTok but I forgot their name, I'll update the post when I find the name)

[cravingtakoyaki]

I see it more as a tiktok thing in my opinion. I think it's funny and true cuz hasbro does use him a lot cuz he's the kid appeal character and apparently they finally got the copyright to use him again or something so the company is trying to keep the copyright or whatever.

I like Bee, he's very cute. If you don't like something you can just scroll (I feel like people forget that)

more smells for the robots for all those autistic like me and like to smell their favorites

"everyone should get more aromantic" can appeal to tumblr's sensibilities but I genuinely think everyone should also get more asexual. I don't mean everyone stop having sex, what I mean is

Sex is not essential. You can live without it. Full stop.

Not having sex isn't shameful or a sign of failure. It also doesn't make anyone boring.

You are not entitled to having sex with anybody and nobody is entitled to having sex with you.

Sex is not what makes someone an adult.

Nobody's worth is defined by how much sex they have or don't have.

Sex is not equally important to everyone.

You can have fulfilling and happy relationships without sex.

You should only have sex on your own terms, not because you feel like you owe it to someone, or because you feel like you'd be incomplete without it.

Know your boundaries around sex and be firm about them. Know how to respect other people's boundaries.

The previous point also applies when it comes to discussing sex. If someone doesn't wanna talk about it or hear about it you have to back down.

Anything can be sexual but not everything has to be sexual.
