Sneak peek for Chapter 19 of Soul Decay

It was sometime in the early morning, and he had already traversed almost the entirety of the base, just now beginning on his second circuit through the winding passageways. His pedes carried him past his quarters again, further down and to the right, until he came to a halt in front of the small room that served as the base’s library.

He stared at the door, his optics tracing the minuscule, shallow scrapes gouged into the smooth metal by many fingertips dragged across its surface. He raised his own servo, resting it against two of the numerous grooves–they fit his digits perfectly, although he couldn’t remember when exactly they had been made.

The door slid open.

It took his optics a moment to adjust to the almost pitch-black of the room, but when they did, he froze, his spark stuttering to a stop in his chest.

Standing among the dozens of stacks of books and datapads was a dark figure, its hulking mass seeming to draw in every ounce of light like a hungry void–a black hole eager to feast on whatever creature was unfortunate enough to wander into its cloying grasp. It stood with its back towards him, its armor littered with sharp edges and spikes, looming far above Prowl’s helm. It slowly turned to face him, its purple optics leering, and–

Optimus blinked in surprise, his blue optics (blue, of course they were blue) warm with concern.

“Prowl? Are you alright?”

Prowl shook himself, wiping what was most likely something bordering on terror from his face, replacing it with practiced disinterest.

“I’m fine. You startled me–I wasn’t expecting anyone to be in here,” Prowl replied evenly. He reached over and flipped a switch, weak fluorescent bulbs flickering on overhead, casting a sickly light over Optimus’s scarred frame. He was holding a datapad in his servos.

Prospective upload time for this chapter is still sometime in August, buttt I didn't want to sit on this piece until then so I'm putting it up now. Seeing as this is a snippet from probably one of my favorite scenes in the entire fic (thus far), I thought it was deserving of something special...

Friendly reminder that it’s ok to be sad about your disability. It’s ok to grieve what you once had. It’s ok to wish for things you never had. Society tells us we have to be these constantly positive, inspiring individuals, but we’re just normal humans. While I don’t suggest wallowing in misery 24/7, it’s ok to give yourself space to feel those tough emotions, rather than suppressing them and pushing them down,

masterlist of resources for writing disabled/chronically ill/neurodiverse characters

Disclaimer: I do not have every condition listed here (though I do have quite a few). I have verified as much as I could that each resource is a good source of information. If any of these is misleading or wrong in any way PLEASE let me know. I will fix it accordingly.

Wanting to branch into writing more diverse characters? Wanting to include representation for those who are neurodivergent, disabled, or chronically ill? The first step to branching out is to research the various conditions/diseases/disorders your character could have. You also need to research what day to day life would be like for them. These links should provide a starting base of information in writing and portraying these characters:

Right here on tumblr. there are tons of posts under tags related to the topics as well as the “#chronically ill” tag and “#spoonie” tag

Try and find either government websites or websites that belong to the specific research groups for those conditions

Psychiatry journals/texts

Reach out to those you know with a chronic illness (but ALWAYS be sure to ask if it is okay. for some people talking about their illnesses is traumatizing and personal. others (like me) are okay with it!

If there are illnesses not here that you would like represented, let me know! I plan on keeping this updated and continuing adding to it. Every link should take you directly to the source/post.

Remember, a lot of these are more common than you think. there will always be someone out there who feels represented by a character with one of these conditions/disorders/diseases. this kind of representation helps normalize the idea that it is okay to exist as a neurodivergent, chronically ill, or disabled person. you are allowed to have adventures and live a happy life.

Inspired by Fourth by Kyn

This fic has me WEAK, part of it is Prowl and the structies being adorable and the other part is all of them going through the horrors, and one of my favorite horrors is Jazz and Scrapper quite literally haunting the narrative (or more specifically, Prowl).
