     This  is  a  sideblog  to  @seekerscreaming​.  Follows  will  come  from  there,  not  here.

     My  name  is  Skeptic.  I  am  22  years  old,  I  use  it/its  pronouns,  and  I  am  PROSHIP.  The  reason  I’m  putting  this  at  the  top  of  my  pinned  is  so  you,  the  person  reading  this,  are  not  upset  by  my  beliefs  or  actions  later  on,  and  so  you  can  safely  curate  your  online  experience.

     Being  proship  primarily  means  that  I  do  not  believe  anyone  should  be  harassed  over  their  fictional  interests,  whether  I  agree  with  said  interest  or  not.  I  do  not  believe  in  the  persecution  of  thought  crimes.

          “ Believe  me,  I  am  aware  of  the...  unique  complaints  in  regards  to  our  resident  doctor.  I  do  hope  he’s  receptive  enough  to  Soundwave’s  delivery,  because  if  I  have  to  remind  him  that  we’re  still  operating  on  limited  resources,  there’s  going  to  be  hell  to  pay.  I  can  be  very  accommodating  when  I  need  to  be,  but  the  needs  of  the  vain  are  rather  low  on  my  list  of  priorities. ”

SOUNDWAVE   ( calibrationtransformation )​

Soundwave had scrambled to its feet while its opponent was stunned, and thankfully, that gave it plenty of time to brace for the lunge. It keeps its head down now, to avoid its face and visor being grabbed. Its heels dig into the floor to try and keep it upright against the brute force. It does start to lose ground, but it doesn’t lose its footing. That’s something.

Unbelievably, in what may be a small victory for the warlord, Soundwave can be heard letting out the quietest growl of effort as it pushes back against Megatron.

Another tendril attack, this time wrapped tightly around the warlord’s throat. It’s not enough to cause much damage, but dividing his attention may work to Soundwave’s benefit.

     Claws  wrap  tight  around  the  tendril  at  his  throat  the  second  it  begins  to  tighten.  Biolights  flicker  under  his  grasp,  but  rather  than  sever  the  tendril,  Megatron  yanks  it  downward  as  hard  as  he  can,  and  then  slams  a  heavy  foot  down  on  top  of  it.

          “ You’re  getting  sloppy! ”   he  chastises,  speaking  almost  like  he’s  scolding  Soundwave  more  than  insulting  it.   “ Either  you’ve  forgotten  how  to  fight  like  a  gladiator,  or  you  WANT  TO  LOSE! ”   He  punctuates  his  roaring  with  a  sharp  hit  to  the  top  of  Soundwave’s  helm,  slamming  his  elbow  into  the  more  sensitive  casing  behind  its  crown  of  decorative  spikes.

          PUMPKIN   ( @calibrationtransformation​ )  SENT :   ☼  🏨  ❤

   RANDOM  HEADCANON  MEME.   ACCEPTING.

☼ :  Does  your  muse  like  daytime  or  nighttime  more?

     Nighttime.  He  likes  watching  the  lights  that  come  with  it.  He  enjoyed  it  on  Cybertron  and  he  enjoys  it  here;  fireflies,  stars,  airplanes,  city  skylines,  glow  worms,  even  a  few  deep  sea  fish  once  or  twice.

🏨  :  How  well  does  your  muse  sleep?

     Answered!

❤ :  What  are  your  muse’s  thoughts  on  love?  If  they  are  not  in  a  relationship,  do  they  believe  that  they  will  ever  find  a  perfect  someone  for  them?

     It  was  hardly  a  main  concern  of  his  in  his  youth,  and  is  hardly  one  now.  Not  to  say  that  he  isn’t  interested,  just  not  looking.  He  was  intimate  enough  with  someone  once,  a  very  long  time  ago,  that  he  considered  himself  all  but  formally  bonded  to.  But  that  ended  with  the  war,  and  has  become  nothing  but  a  distant  memory.

SOUNDWAVE   ( calibrationtransformation )​

It really should have anticipated that.

Soundwave doesn’t make a sound, of course, even as it’s functionally thrown across the sparring floor. It keeps its body limp and pliable, as much as a Cybertronian can, anyhow, as it tumbles, knowing that tension leads to extra damage. And when they come to rest, it looks defiantly back into the warlord’s face as he snaps.

It waits for him to finish speaking, rather polite of it, really, before it rears its head back and knocks it hard against Megatron’s face.

Does it miscalculate slightly and crack its visor slightly? Sure. But the chance to stun is worth a little damage and sensory discomfort.

     Megatron  roars,  mostly  in  annoyance,  when  he’s  hit,  and  he  rears  back  out  of  pure  instinct.  His  claws  scrabble  for  purchase  along  the  smooth  surface  of  Soundwave’s  visor,  and  when  he  finds  hairline  fractures  instead,  he  can’t  help  but  laugh.

     The  warlord  allows  himself  to  free  Soundwave,  though  he  remains  crouched  and  close  to  the  ground  in  animalistic  preparation  for  another  attack.   “ Better. ”   he  growls.   “ Much  better.  Now...  try  and  make  me  bleed. ”

     He  lunges  with  a  roar,  clashing  against  the  other  like  a  damned  stag  tangling  his  antlers  with  a  rival’s.  He’s  close  enough  now  that  he  thinks  he  can  see  the  faint  light  of  an  optic  behind  the  broken  glass,  and  it  just  spurns  him  forward  toward  victory.

          MAYA   ( @twcwheeler​ )   SENT :   ♬ :  Does  your  muse  sing  well?  Regardless  of  whether  they  sing  well  or  not,  do  they  enjoy  singing?

    RANDOM  HEADCANON  MEME.   ACCEPTING.

♬ :  Does  your  muse  sing  well?  Regardless  of  whether  they  sing  well  or  not,  do  they  enjoy  singing?

     That  depends  on  your  definition  of   “ well. ”   He  thinks  his  voice  sounds  fine,  but  he’ll  be  the  first  to  tell  you  he’s  no  singer.  His  voice  often  cracks,  and  his  pitch  isn’t perfect,  but  there  are  certain  songs  that  sound  heavenly  with  that  kind of  voice.  It’s  not  exactly  a  hobby  of  his,  though,  and  he  left  the  majority  of  that  interest  on  Cybertron.

     RANDOM  HEADCANON  MEME.   ACCEPTING.

🏨  :  How  well  does  your  muse  sleep?

     As  little  as  possible.  You  call  it  paranoia,  but  he  calls  it  attentiveness.  Megatron  makes  a  habit  out  of  avoiding  proper  stasis  as  often  as  possible,  and  will  usually  power  through  the  daze  of  a  manual  recharge  to  do  some  less  exciting  work.

♨ :  Does  your  muse  have  good  table  manners?  How  do  they  feel  about  bad  table  manners? 

     Manners  as  a  whole  are  intimately  important  to  him.  While  he  won’t  explicitly  chide  someone  for  not  behaving  properly,  he  looks  down  upon  it  and  takes  it  as  an  example  of  what  behavior  to  avoid.  It’s  how  he  learned  to  navigate  the  political  world  back  home,  and  it’s  served  him  well  in  life.  That  being  said,  if  you  catch  Megatron  slurping  his  food-grade?  Something  is  very  wrong.

📱 :  Does  your  muse  prefer  calling  or  texting?

     Neither.  If  he  can  help  it,  Megatron  will  speak  to  you  in  person.

SOUNDWAVE   ( calibrationtransformation )​

The silent one cracks its neck, twisting it slightly to one side as it straightens and turns to its opponent. Its master knows that this isn’t its best.

But forgive it a moment of vanity. Of arrogance, even.

It’s quick on its feet, despite its unwieldy limbs, lunging for the bulkier fighter’s pelvis. It veers off and ducks low at the last second, colliding with his leg as one of its tendrils wraps around his ankle to yank him backward. Megatron, obviously, doesn’t go down with so little, but when he’s knocked off-balance, Soundwave spins, slamming one arm downward into the warlord’s midsection to throw him to the ground.

When the larger fighter is on the floor, Soundwave’s foot plants itself in the middle of his chest, and it looks downward toward its opponent, visor, of course, blank and unreadable.

How about that?

     How  about  that  indeed.

     Megatron  lets  Soundwave  relish  in  its  short  victory  for  a  moment,  watching  the  grin  spread  across  his  face  in  the  reflection  of  the  visor  above  him.   “ Impressive. ”   he  notes.   “ I  think  it  would  be  more  of  a  challenge  for  you  to  disappoint  me.  However... ”

     One  arm  hooks  around  Soundwave’s  leg  and  sends  it  toppling  head  over  heels,  giving  him  the  chance  to  scramble  back  onto  his  feet  and  lunge  forward.  Soundwave’s  helm  scrapes  against  the  floor,  sending  a  few  errant  sparks  flying  before  the  two  of  them  comes  to  a  stop.  Megatron  snarls  and  snaps  his  jaws  in  the  spymaster’s  face.   “ But  I  know  that’s  not  your  best. ”

          “ The  lonely  and  inevitable  destiny  of  the  rogue  revolutionary. ”   It’s  said  with  an  air  of  humor  that  only  a  handful  of  individuals,  Shockwave  included,  would  recognize.  It’s  a  tease,  poking  fun  at  himself,  his  image.   “ Is  there  a  particular  reason  for  the  day’s  paranoia,  Shockwave? ”
