[Insert Farm Name Here]

A Stardew Valley AU featuring Sunstreaker and Sideswipe as the farmers!

Expectation: Lie low in Stardrop Valley, run the mines, attempt to fix a farm, ignore everyone until they were kicked out of another home. Reality: A bunch of younglings adopt them, rivalries galore (almost as much as the glitter), friendships are attempted, and an iridium filled valley acts like glowing cows and visiting space jellies are normal. Somewhere between saving idiots, learning how to grow pulsefruit, and watching the Moonlight Jellies drift in, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe accidentally grow roots.

All art was all made by the marvelous and talented @windydrawallday! Please go to their blog and give them all the love! I really treasure my friendship with Windy and am so everlastingly grateful that I had them as my partner for this year's @tf-bigbang!

You can read this fic over on ao3 here!

Words: ~40k (12 Chapters)

A horrible idea I had while shopping. [spoiler] It’s a happy ending :p

This was so much fun and now my second comic.

Perspective and character turns hurt my brain.

The first IKEA to open on cybertron. Still comes with metal screws that strip when you use them.

After checkout here :3

They're just silly

i like when eridians describe grace in other-worldly, incorporeal, eldritch ways. that he's beautiful and terrifying at the same time. a horror you can't look away from because you don't want to miss a thing.

you can never get a clear listen to him. his primary sense node is covered in "hair" and the part that isn't is hidden by two crystals that refract sound waves in a pleasing but disorienting way. he covers his body in billowy cloth at all times. not snug and sensible and unobstructive like eridian coverings, but loose and layered, draped and flowing.

the most clear part of him are his internal organs. because yes, the alien's carapace isn't sound-proof. his single heart beats insistingly in his core, his lungs exchanging gas constantly, his long digestive tract always bubbling and contracting. his thorax is packed impossibly tight and it's all moving and singing.

and it shouldn't be possible, with how fragile he is, for that internal pressure to maintain. how does the thin membrane of his external organ (another horror that sends eridians reeling) keep it all contained? his "skin" is so easily pierced, cut, bruised, burnt, how does he not split open under his own mass?

when savior rocky first arrived home and described the environmental needs of his alien, the scientists thought he'd made a mistake in his frantic panic to get everything out. it isn't possible this being lives at such low atmospheric pressure, at half the gravity, and in a gas that's nearly double the weight of ammonia. in a gas so dangerous, so caustic. and if it does then how is it obligately terrestrial like rocky claims? shouldn't it fly or float instead? (and then to see it in the water, learning that it can float or sink at will.)

and this alien has come bearing gifts that will not only save your species but launch it into impossible heights of technological and intellectual advancement. he has discovered the solution to astrophage and bred it to thrive on threeworld and translated his instructions into eridian. he has given your people the complete sum of his people's knowledge, advanced in ways the eridians can't believe and behind in ways that seem ludicrous. and he has given his life for your people to have these things.

he knows how your solar system was formed. he knows how the universe started.

his name means beautiful and generous and relieving.

the eridians experiencing cosmic bliss.

be not afraid.

BLESSED TRANSFORMERS GO! GO! BEACH PIC BE UPON YE

[coupangeats]

I love the transformers fandom because someone will post something like 'omg i love spingtron he's everything to me!' and you'll go to the tfwiki to find that spingtron was a character who was in 2 panels of a single marvel comic that was only sold in Scotland on rainy days in December 1989

FAQ

[ellipsus-writes]

If you haven't heard, the em dash has been getting a lot of attention lately…

Because it was trained on pirated work—including freely accessible online writing (like fanfic, academic texts)—ChatGPT picked up patterns and quirks native to human writing.

Including (sigh) the em dash.

There are other victims here (RIP tapestry and delve 🫠), but the appropriation of the em dash—a punctuation mark beloved by writers everywhere—feels especially personal.

A kind of low-grade panic is ensuing. Writers who once memed their own em dash overuse—the greatest punctuation mark ever to grace the control-freak’s lexicon, frankly—are suddenly backing away to avoid accusations.

No. More. We have centuries of dash-abusing writers behind us. We will not sit quietly while AI repurposes our beloved stilted aside—or the just-one-more clarification the sentence demands—or the dramatic pause your comma could never—etc.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you.

Defend the em dash.

(Feel free to download/share/stick it where it matters!)

LAMBROS WEEK UPDATE

So the winning choice of the poll was January 18th-24th but due to unforeseen events coming up in my real life, I'll have to go with the next voted option.

So the (un)official SunnynSides Appreciation Week shall happen on February 1st-7th!

Currently compiling a list of potential themes to release at the end of November so if you have any ideas, feel free to drop them in a comment!

[lambrosweek]

LAMBROS WEEK COMING TO A TUMBLR NEAR YOU.

LamBros Week, the 1st annual Appreciation Week for Sunstreaker & Sideswipe is coming to you February 1st - 7th, 2026.

As a reminder: This is an Appreciation Week where anything goes, as long as you are labeling/warning/marking it. I'm not policing what is and isn't considered "appreciation," just that you are warning everyone in advance. You do you!

And here are the two prompt themes for you to have fun with! I tried to give some variety so hopefully everyone had a bit they can work with for this week.

Theme 1 - It Takes Two

Of course you can't talk about the twins without thinking about the number two! So here's prompts around the number two in its various forms because I live for puns.

Day 1 : Two of a Kind

Day 2 : Two-Faced

Day 3 : Of Two Minds

Day 4 : Double Standard

Day 5 : Double Down / Double Up

Day 6 : Second To None

Day 7 : Double-Edged Sword

BONUS : Two of Cups

Theme 2 - Metal Symbolism

Almost went with the language of flowers, but then I thought "Why not the language of metals?" So here we have prompts based around different metals and the symbolism behind them! Also included are a few basics of symbols/meanings connected to the metals, but you can totally look them up on your own and go with other meanings, too!

Lead (Death/Transformation)

Iron (Energy/Power/Protection)

Gold (Perfection/Purity/Authority)

Mercury (Toxicity/Mystery/Fluidity)

Copper (Beauty/Feminity/Creativity)

Silver (Intuition/Self-Reflection/Healing)

Antimony (Cooperation/Adaptability)

BONUS: Platinum (Enduring Love/Eternity)

And of course, you can use a WILDCARD to make up whatever prompt you could want to do, I'm not your boss. If you're appreciating SunnynSides then we're all good!

If you have any questions, drop me an ask.
