shredhead-standing

ok I'm done.

Shredhead is a fucking boy nor girl they're non-binary they've only ever been referred to with they/them pronouns by other characters AND by the writers.

They're non-binary. Yes I drew them in a dress/more femininely because it was a fucking magical girl bit and non canonical. If I have more opportunities to draw them I might make them more masculine. But at the end of the day they don't have a canonical holoform design. And as IDW showcases a character's holoform can present differently than their normal appearance.

I've never used anything except for they/them for shredhead. I've said it in the intro post they're canonically non-binary. I don't know how people keep missing that. I'm not answering nor replying to asks or threads that use anything other than they/them for them, nor with any gendered terminology such as "boy" or "girl" even if it's in a joking capacity.

I'm sick of this. They are one of the only two nonbinary characters in this entire fucking franchise and still they get misgendered so heavily by the community.

call me a buzzkill for "overreacting" on a tumblr roleplay blog but if this behavior keeps up then I'm not using this character in any capacity other than their gimmick of standing.

I'd appreciate it if other standers reblogged this. Yes it's negative but genuinely the exprsexism Needs to be address. Thanks.

@optima-standing do you know what’s happening with Bulkhead? And what I can do to help him?

< I think this might be it! >

< Hey, @allspark-floats ! Does this look about right for Atlantis? >

Oh, child. This is just the surface. A beacon. A gateway. The true city lays deep under the layers of rock. In a cavern. Although, I did help the Atlanteans built super powered machines...

Children, please do be careful of the lobster.

< Oh, woah, that's quite a lobster!

Doesn't look all that scary to me! Anything can be a big friend if you get to understand them enough.

We haven't come across it yet, but thanks for the heads-up! We should-- WOAH! >

[The giant creature swerved around the corner; its body looked like a lobster but with a metallic shine. The dark lines on its body lit up a blue glow as it gathered power near it mouth. Was it preparing an attack? It reminded the three bots of Cybertron's old structures in history.]

< Woahh, big guy, you aren't charging up a big death laser right now, are you, buddy? >

[ Beachcomber backs up into a crouch to make himself seem as much of a non-threat as possible, keeping his servos visible in a placating gesture. ]

< Hey there, friend… No need to get hostile, we’re here to help. >

[said soothingly, as if talking to a wild animal, while following Beachcombers lead and crouching]

[The creature shot a electric beem of energy towards them from its mouth. The pincers came down towards @hound-standing scooping him up and locking him in it's grasp. The creature was far to agile and flexible to be a human creation. Besides, it was the size of a space ship. The creature's body made groaning noises as it slowed down and looked at Hound trapped in it's grasp. It's red glowing optics locking on to @longarm-prime-standing then to @beachcomber-standing. It let out a soft whine, optics loosening and turning blue.]

< WHOA!!! Wow, this is interesting… Uhh… Hello there, buddy… You don’t look like anything I’ve ever seen before, but you’re definitely Cybertronian made. My name is Hound, and these two bots with me are Beachcomber and Longarm. Do you mind putting me down? And then we can talk! Uhh…if you can talk… >

------------------------------

[ Just before the energy beam fires, Beachcomber springs to life and leaps to the side to avoid it. It just barely misses him, leaving the paint on his back painfully melted and bubbly from the superheated water left in the beam's wake. He hits the sea floor in a cloud of silt. ]

< Ye-owch, > [ he groans, taking a moment before sitting up and surveying the situation. He stays calm and makes no move to act, knowing Hound has it handled. ]

< Yeah, seems pretty Cybertronian to me, too. I don't know if could run any geo-scans without aggravating things, but I bet this guy's got something energon-adjacent running through its systems. That's pretty sweet. >

< It smells like a muted form of energon mixed with oil, and there’s a hint of something else, but I can’t quite place it. Definitely Cyber-matter of some kind, but not the same as ours; did the All Spark say that it helped make it? >

[The creature hummed, softly. Observing three bots. It seemed to calmed down from it's attack on them. Hound was brought closer to it's face and let out a low hum. The other claws near it's face touched Hound, poking around his chest area. Then released Hound, letting him sink in the water, the creature moved to the side to get a closer look at Beachcomber. Actually, the creature didn't need to barely move an inch with it's size. From a quick scan; the creature was made up from steel and a few other Cybertron metals.]

< Ahh! >

*a cloud of silt billows up from where Hound lands, obscuring the view for a moment. When it clears, Hound is perfectly safe, if a bit off balance*

< Oof! Well, that was interesting. What do you think of it, Beachcomber? >

[ Beachcomber watches Hound drop out of the creature's grasp, wincing a bit in sympathy as he sees him hit the sea floor. He only glances back up once the silt cloud settles and he can tell his nature buddy was unharmed, but he has to immediately squash a startle response when he sees the lobster-like creature had closed most of the gap between them and has its face currently positioned only a couple meters away.

Instead, he gives it a warm, kind smile. ]

< Hi there, friend! What a beautiful being you are; do you have a name, I wonder? >

[ In response to Hound's question, Beachcomber replies, with no difference in tone as to not alarm the lobster, ] < Looks like it must have figured out we're friendlies, maybe it could detect your spark? I'm not getting any bad vibes from it anymore; it's just a sweet big-little guy after all, huh?

Was able to get readings off of some passive scans when it got close, looks like a mix of Earth-native steel alloys and some Cybertronian-native metals. I'm no metallurgist, but replicating that much as precisely at that scale using the Earth's crust's different metal ratios must have been quite the feat! >

[ He glimpses Skywarp playing charades with Hound on the other side of the towering leviathan's form, his own optics widening in recognition behind his visor, but not necessarily in surprise. His full attention remains on the lobster, however. ]
