[nautilusinthedark]

Hi, I’m Legiana, leader of the Nautilus Trine! Collectively we go by he/she/they, and refer to ourselves as Nautlius when it’s not clear who’s fronting or in situations where it’s easier to go by a simpler name. -🪽

Trinemates under cut! 💕

Legiana/Legi (He/She/Frost/Frostsself), 🪽 - The Trine leader!!! Usually takes the form of a Legiana (duh) but sometimes switches it out to look somewhat like Jetfire from G1 Transformers. Not very active when it comes to posting, is usually busy sculpting headspace to our likings. She cares a lot about frosts friends, but isn’t good at expressing that. We love her!! Also the one writing all these other bios.

Enot (They/It/She), 🚫🥚 - Our beloved token trinemate vs. trinemate fight defuser and trine mama! Literally half of us wouldn’t be alive without Her help,, and we’re grateful!! Generally the one to step up if things start going downhill. They tend to talk about dark topics such as death, so try not to interact with it if you’re uncomfortable or triggered by those topics.

Rathalos (He/Him), 🔥 - NOT A DRAGON!!!!! He’s actually a dreadking rathalos but he says it’s too long of a name. He’s the one who sends intro asks that are slamming you into a wall repeatedly btw,, he means well!!! Likes to talk a lot. Doesn’t post much anymore, but he’s still here!

Lagiacrus/Liz (He/She/They), ⚡️ - Token chillguy, super sweet!! Likes to swim a lot, when we take baths he’s usually the reason why. Favorite season is May, because that’s when the pool opens! Doesn’t post often, usually just chilling out talking to the others. Used to be active a lot when they first formed.

Bezelguese/Bezel (Bomb/Bombsself/She/Her), 💣 - The flirterrr. Formed out of sheer desperation and lust. Kinda embarrassing but we still love bomb!! Accidentally makes people uncomfortable by advancing way too fast, feels really bad about it. Bomb means well, really!!! Big fan of watching those demolition videos where they blow up old cars.

Arsenic/Starsenic (He/Him), 🎩 - Living breathing proof that people can change and that you’re not an irredeemable monster for having negative emotions or being formed from a “negative” source. Doing good on his journey towards being kinder and less self-absorbed, especially after the recent addition of Doc Knock. We’ve come to appreciate him. Barely regresses anymore (☹️) but when he does it’s to about 10 years old or younger.

Starscream/Starry (He/Him), ✈️ - Another one.. took after Starsenic’s egotistical behavior when he first formed but has since become much kinder and a bit shy. Doesn’t post on here, you won’t see him. Regresses to about 6-8 years old, but only ever fronts at night when he’s little? Odd little fella, but he’s nice.

Knockout/Doc Knock (He/Him), 🏎️🩺 - New guy alert,, Knockouts forming stemmed from Starsenic’s need for constant reassurance that he’s doing good and the whole trines general need for someone who could get us off our ass and go seek help when we don’t feel good. He’s pretty chill but can get a bit snippy if our bodily needs are being (unintentionally) neglected.

Blades (He/She), 🚁 - Not much to say, just a silly little helicopter in a big big world. Afraid of heights but still enjoys flying somehow. Age regressor!!! Regresses to about 5-7 years old, real scaredy-bot. Likes to chew on things that should not be chewed on! >:( would probably eat our bed frame if he could.

Peach (She/Her), 👑 - Our princess :) Looks scary but is pretty much the same as her source, just with sharp teeth and cool claws. Designated little caregiver! Only shows up on select occasions, like when we’re talking to a mutual’s Mario or taking care of littles.

Navirou (He/Him), 🍩 - Kitty!!!! Has a speech quirk that’s basically just cat puns but every word. Likes doughnuts a lot!! Very hissy but will warm up to you eventually. Large rotund specimen. Technically shares a source with the big 4 (Lagi, Liz, Rathalos, Bezel) because he is literally nyavigating Navirou!!!

Alise (She/Her/Petal/Petals), 🌸 - Our aggressive little flower,, an age regressor!!!! Regresses to about 5-6. Likes to get into play fights when little. And regular fights when big. Literally just our collective body with a flower for a head. Formed out of a need for someone to take care of and the need for a protector. Likes to taunt a lot before she actually engages. Arsenic knows this very well.

Blitzwing (SUBSYSTEM) - Hothead (He/Him), 💢 - Icy (He/She), ❄️ - Random (They/It/Melody/Melodys),❓— A subsystem introject(?) of Blitzwing from Transformers Animated! Random likes to barge in on conversations, but other than that they mostly keep to trinespace. You can tell it’s Random because all the s’ are replaced with z’s.

DNI if you’re anti-endo, anti-willogenic, a TERF, pedophile/MAP, homophobic, transphobic, enbyphobic, pretty much all the -phobics.

Okay,, a small sketch of what Tfrb Syringe would look like,, I’ll do a fullbody tomorrow

[cybertron-after-dark]

I was gonna ask a question but i honestly forgot it 😅 so just tell me something you want to rant about

If you do happen to remember what you were gonna ask feel free to do so, do not worry about spamming my inbox bc I live for that shit.

As for the rant

Transformers Rescue Bots had some of the best, kindest, and most respectful representation of neurodivergence I have ever seen in media and I'm tired of pretending it didn't.

While there are obvious complaints to be made about neurodivergent traits (especially autistic traits) usually being portrayed in media by inhuman characters like aliens or robots, this being a case of both, I feel like thats a pretty negligible sin given just how human the show makes the robots feel. (Also it was like 2011 and we were STRUGGLING for any scraps of rep anyway)

But like. The behaviors all these robots exhibit are all shit that I do that was always deemed unacceptable when I was a kid and seeing it portrayed with the level of kindness and gentleness they do in that show has me fuckin crying a little man. I wish I had actually watched it when I was younger and it was first airing because maybe if I did I would've had an easier time explaining what the hell was going on with my brain a LOT sooner.

Blades being anxious, overly sensitive, and WHOLEHEARTEDLY queer (which they had the absolute unparalleled balls to just casually confirm by having him swoon over "hunky vampires" in one episode and NOBODY commented on it. Fucking iconic) and getting so so deeply invested in the shows and movies he loves that he acts out the roles with enough passion to steel his nerves and completely flourish.

Boulder getting really confused at concepts that are basic and intuitive for most people, but still being so fucking intelligent, and never being made to feel stupid for the mix-ups, as well as just being so wholely, unabashedly in love with the planet he's found himself on, even if he doesn't understand all of it (Also apologizing to inanimate objects when he knocks them over 😭)

Chase being obsessed with rules and law because he NEEDS the structure to not fall apart at the seams, even feeling the need to fabricate a minor crime to justify using the emergency line to get a hold of the firehouse when he can't find the other bots. As well as just fully not understanding comedy (BUT TRYING HIS DAMNEDEST), taking things super literally, and having a lot of trouble with tone and expressions (even though you know just how deeply he feels All The Time).

Heatwave being desperate for attention and recognition, but completely allergic to asking for it. And honestly allergic to showing any genuine emotional responses other than aggression. The constant sarcasm and sass and defensiveness that he POORLY maintains because everyone knows that underneath that tough guy front is the loneliest robot on earth that wants to be loved SO bad but would rather jump into unicron's mouth than voice it because if he lets his guard down who knows what will happen to him or the people he cares about.

Just. All of it man. Seeing them exhibiting all these behaviors and quirks that all too often get met with poor reactions from people who don't want to deal with what they don't really get, but here they're met with patience and understanding?? It's got me fucked up. They get to be functional adults that struggle with what they have going on but still push through. They get to have unconditionally loving relationships with people that treat them with respect. And that's the kind of shit that gives me a lot of hope for folks like me because maybe some neurotypical kids that watched it picked up on what's helpful when their friend who acts like one of the bots is going through it. And maybe some neurodivergent kids watched it too and for the first time they just felt SEEN.

Okay rant over, I'm gonna go cry over some plastic robots 👍

[cybertron-after-dark]

what the FUCK happens in cyberverse

Here's a list just off the top of my head, in no particular order. MASSIVE spoilers ahead.

-Wheeljack keeps making party drugs. This is not only accepted but wholly encouraged by the Autobots. He's made the bot equivalent to cocaine so strong it made grimlock physically unable to stop himself from running around the ship at mach 5. This was the basis for an entire episode. He's also made patches that give you a direct link to the Allspark that he passed out at a party specifically to get everyone as fucked up as physically possible. I cannot overemphasize that Optimus make no effort to stop this until things turn destructive on both occasions.

-Soundwave and Shockwave completely fucking hate each other and have a whole rivalry trying to be a better and more useful follower for Megatron than each other.

-Soundwave is a fucking memelord who will play clown music or dramatic riffs to dunk on people from the soundboard he has built into his hardware.

-theres a sort of liminal dimension referred to as Unspace that you can get stuck in and if you are there for too long you will straight up disintegrate. We see this happen to the entire crew aboard the arc from different timelines several times while the main timeline crew we follow tries to escape this fate, thus dooming dozens of other timelines.

-Cheetor is basically Allspark Jesus, and he's tired of all the fighting, so he tries to have Optimus and Megatron settle their differences once and for all. The chosen method for this was making them both play the Newlywed Game. They were both terrible at it, the MegOp Divorce agenda is alive and well.

-the Quintessons invade Cybertron and stick the entire population into a simulation a la The Matrix, which slowly drains their life force until they die. This kills countless unnamed Cybertronians, both Autobot and Decepticon, as well as Hound, who does not get to appear on screen.

-the Quintessons also catch Starscream, rip his face off, and modify him into an Eldritch tentacle beast with his brain attached to two other aliens, and then appoint that amalgamation as the judge that decides the fate of the universe in regards to whether they exterminate all life within it.

-Shockwave commits suicide for Megatron's approval. He launches his spark straight into the Allspark to taint it specifically as a last desperate fuck you to the autobots.

-Soundwave acquired laserbeak by just kind of grabbing a random bird out of the sky.

-Soundblaster is an ex-decepticon that left out of shame. That shame being Soundwave beating his ass in a beatboxing competition so fuckin hard he couldn't show his face around his faction anymore.

-The autobots keep starscream captive and try to get him to take a therapy session with the Arc's AI, and he starts out willing to actually give it a shot but said AI is kind of Stupid and screamer ends up tricking him into letting him escape through an air vent to go wreak havoc instead.

-Starscream also starts a suicide cult with the other Seekers, gains control of Vector Sigma and the Allspark, has the seekers forfeit their sparks to him, thus resulting in a cosmically powered Starscream. He uses that power to "remake" his followers into scraplets that he refers to as, with nothing but love in his tone, his "children."

-Shockwave and Wheeljack are shown to be ex lab partners. Shockwave has an army of drones that look exactly like his altmode that Wheeljack helped program. They are programmed to be able to break out into a coordinated dance number at any given time. Originally this was just to make Wheeljack laugh. Shockwave kept that function in throughout the entire war and initiates it the second there's a truce and Wheeljack asks to see it again.

-Shockwave kidnaps Wheeljack at one point for Science Under Duress purposes and Wheeljack is too invested in all the sweet fuckin tech Shockwave's been making while they were apart to really care that he's being held against his will, and then proceeds to escape without too much issue because he knows Shockwave well enough to know exactly how to disable everything.

-Bumblebee distracts the Decepticons by running in front of their surveillance cameras and shaking his ass in the most underwhelming way imaginable.

-Grimlock is only stupid when he's in his altmode because it takes a lot of power to sustain and he has to sacrifice some of his higher brain functions to keep it manageable. In robot mode he talks like he went to an Ivy League college and knows what champagne tastes like. He throws upscale parties every chance he gets.

-Grimlock also helped start an anticapitalist revolution with Bumblebee when he found an underground society of insect transformers that had a rigid caste system. This was within moments of finding out that the ultra wealthy were hoarding the limited energon reserves for themselves. Grimlock is a comrade and he does not fuck around.

-Skybyte is here and he sounds like Skeletor.

-Windblade and Slipstream are nemeses and somehow it's even more toxic yuri coded than Arcee and airachnid in tfp.

-speaking of Arcee, she's besties with Grimlock. They at one point have a physical fight over who gets to die to protect the other.

-hot rod and soundwave are forced to share leadership over the team of bots and cons that escaped the quintessons' simulation and it's packed with so much homoerotic tension its unreal.

-Maccadam is some kind of lovecraftian war machine that can unfold himself into a whole armory whenever he feels like it. We have no idea what his whole altmode looks like, all we see are the ominous shadows of the weapons on the walls. He uses this specifically as a threat to keep anyone from fighting in his bar bc he's insistent it remain neutral ground. He also can kinda just. See into the future. And casually drops prophecies that get written off as spoonerisms until they turn out to be relevant.

-Optimus Prime has horrific social anxiety that he can kind of power through when he's in a crisis, but the second things are chill and he has to give a speech at a party or something he simply does not know how to function.

-the entire planet of Velocitron gets taken over by cosmic rust and everyone inhabiting it that couldn't escape in time was killed horrifically.

-cosmos is a girl and she hangs out with a dude named Meteorfire who is, for all intents and purposes, just robot Steve Irwin.

-Astrotrain keeps closing doors in people's faces for the funny

-Megatron is killed by a version of himself from an alternate universe that went nuts and starting creating a master race of perfect Decepticons to inhabit Cybertron. Said perfect Decepticons were carbon copies of idw Tarn in all but personality.

-Acidstorm is canonically genderfluid and keeps switching between male and female seeker frames whenever they feel like it

-Kup, who had not been in the show at all until this point, decides to show up and narrate an entire episode like hes giving a political speech.

And, the infamous one we all know and love

-Megatron is a twitch streamer and he livestreams Starscream's fucking funeral. The chat has custom Decepticon emotes.

[brandwhorestarscream]

You forgot Megatron dying very dramatically in Optimus Prime's arms. Like OP straight up cradles him as he dies

Also there isn't a SINGLE HUMAN CHARACTER. It's fuckin awesome

WERE NONE OF YOU GOING TO TELL ME THAT PALM COCKATOOS CAN SMELL FEAR???

I’m gonna be volunteering at that place and I’m fearing for my life if I have to interact with this one specific palm cockatoo because he has a lust for blood I SWEAR. I saw him looking at a younger kid at the aviary with bloodlust in his eyes. Demented bird I swear to you

On the plus side: they got a pied crow and a shitload of doves :]

I dunno how the military works btw. Let alone how guns work. If I get anything wrong in my writing you simply must remember that I do not gaf

[nautilusinthedark]

Have another WIP fuck you. Not getting finished today probably because I’m going to an outdoor aviary

“This is bullshit.” Axel thought to herself as she loaded the custom-made electric rounds into her sniper rifle. “Ten solar cycles working for the ‘Bots and they still won’t put me on the frontlines. I know how to work a regular blaster, for Primus’ sake!” She grumbled as she fired a shot directly into a Decepticon footsoldier’s processor, watching as they slumped to the ground in front of their comrades.

Axel was by no means forged to be a frontline soldier— more like someone with the build to be a stealth operative, quick on their pedes to get in and get out with stolen intel —but that didn’t mean she was bad at it! Her superiors had simply seen her remarkable skills with a sniper and shoved her into the first open roost they could find. She was still a bit salty about that.

It’s not that she wasn’t happy about her current position, in fact she found a sick sense of joy in firing shot after shot into enemy troops, but she often did wish that she could be more than just another sniper hidden up in the safety of a roost. She’d had dreams of leading her own troop of underdogs when she was younger, marching them onto the battlefield with a blaster in her hand and pride in her spark, but those had been the dreams of someone who was naive enough to ignore every horrible crime that her faction had committed during this ages-long war.

A distant explosion snapped her out of her daydreaming, and she cycled her optics to get a better look at the ground below her. Her gaze landed on another advancing group of Decepticons, led by a hulking mass of gray and black.

Megatron.

“I can fix him” “I can make him worse” okay well I can take him apart clean & polish him and put him back together again

Speaking of bullshit lighting:

These guys (Vreeks) are from one of my favorite Roblox games,, they’re itty bitty little bird-raptor-glider(?) things and are great for exploring the maps many secrets. Idk I just like them

[nautilusinthedark]

Do artists know that you don’t have to do any of that technical bullshit with lighting,, you can just put shadows in places you think they’d look good in. There are no laws here
