I've been planning for over a year now to do a The great mouse detective fan-event thinking ''wow this is such an underrated underground dsny movie, surely twst won't touch it before I do!''
I anticipated this because if the concept of the Overblot came from a very niche Disney Vilain whose last known terror was back in 1937 (last seen in 2017), how deep is that hole they dug for more? 😭
I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.

Part two of this fic. If you're new here and stumbled upon this fic. Get the context HERE
(A bit short. But part three will be longer... I think)
"Can you please stop that?"
Ah, how stupid did Starscream feel. To forget that he isn't the only one occupying this body. Turns out that being sucked into a newborn human's body didn't automatically make that body yours. The soul was apparently still inside, only growing in the same rate as the body was developing. Starscream groans and looks at her in his (her? Their?) Head.
"Let me imagine and remember moments. I'm the one in control, HUMAN, " he says at her with a mocking tone. This earned him a huff and an angry pout from the girl.
"It's my body! And I'm asking you to respect it!" She furrows her eyebrows and crosses her arms. "You spacing out leads me to lots of scary memories that aren't even mine. I hate it. Why are you like this?" She asks. Starscream huffed, he glared at the human girl, she's so annoying and thought she was the best in the world with what she did. It should be him asking her. Though her attitude, it hit close to home for him. But before Starscream could reply, he remembers again. But this time, it does not affect him nor the little girl.
Being in this body taught Starscream one thing, is that the host is young, her body is young. She's been alive for only decade in human years. Applying her age in Cybertronian years and point it at the seeker, then in that situation this girl would've learned A LOT by now. How to fight, how to manage a crew, battle strategies, she may even have learned how to kill. But that is not the reality Starscream is facing right now. For he learned that in human years, a ten-year-old human is still learning how this world works. Should it have been any Cybertronian, human years would've been nothing but a speckled part of it.
Being ten in human years means you're still discovering hobbies, developing your motor skills, learning how to socialize, and maybe a growing defiance for authority. She is still growing. And it's her body, so it's him who will be held accountable for any damage as he is currently the one in control. He never thought he'd be a parasite inside a pest, a species that held as a weak link to the Autobots. But looking at her again, that pout, that angry face, he remembers that in a way, the reality is there. She is young. Young, and entering a new phase in human age (EHEM...puberty), and currently going through a phase where she feels like the world's princess.
So, Starscream has no choice but to swallow his pride. Primus, he's already dead. What more could he gain or lose from this? And mutter out an apology, "I'm sorry. I'll try to tone it down for both of us." It doesn't take that long for him to feel the void of their mind shift with her response, "It's okay. Just don't do it again!" In a way, her tone is laced with kindness here.
There's a short moment of silence before she asks again, "When are we going to finish my homework? I have to sleep at nine." There was another thing about this human child. As annoying as she is in this stage, this girl is diligent and always on point with the things needed to do. Almost like a certain Decepticon he knows. He looks at her, optics of red, glowing. Glowing in a way that he was examining her expression and her tone. Yeah, this girl wants things done now, but she's also annoying about it. She's was always quiet until she reached this age.
"A little later pest, let me lay down a bit. I've been spending time doing all the work while you stay in your seat watching from here."
"HEY! I do things too, like, uh... STUDY THEN WHILE YOU DO WHATEVER Uhh... STUFF! SHUT UP!" And being 10 means that rudeness is a good escape to a conversation. It's a weak attempt, but she's still a child, and as much as Starscream wants to protest, he's just a tenant. So he stays quiet.
They would then be called by the girl's mother not long later for dinner, and Starscream had no choice but to go back to the "control panels", get up from the bed and go finish whatever that is needed to be done.
This fic is based on my crack AU of ghost Starscream. To get the context, see the post HERE
Clarification: Starscream's character here is an amalgamation of all his iterations across different TF media, so there are references present, and you can imagine a certain version of Starscream. ALSO She/her for the body and He/him for Starscream.
Starscream couldn't count...
He couldn't count the cycles that passed by since that battle with the Decepticons and Autobots occurred on Earth. When was it? The thought made his processor vibrate and ache. It wasn't time that entertained him, though. It was the sole memory that out of everyone in that battle, it was MEGATRON who ended up killing him. He doesn't know what he did. He's pretty sure his plans were in the same tone as the ones he made against the Decepticon leader that still had him getting away scott free. But then maybe that was the last straw? Unexpected yet... not surprising.
It doesn't take a click for Starscream to be reminded again. He's dead. Primus, he's dead. His body broke into pieces when he died. It broke and scattered around like some cheap metal found in the land fills in any world that exists in the universe. He couldn't even see the way Megatron shot him. He was looking away in that battlefield when he heard a blast and a wave coming his way. As he looked back and greeted by the fire from the fusion cannon and Megatron standing with his arm stretched out in an aim. And it broke.
It's weird how you can hear your body get destroyed before even feeling it. But before the seeker could think deeper, his processors ache again. Why was his body aching anyway? He's dead. He's a ghost. These things shouldn't be-
Oh, Starscream is reminded again. That's right, he's in a body. A body of flesh and squishy frames. He's in pain because he's now human. Or at least, currently IN a human. He doesn't know how or why it happened. But this memory was something he called "safe," as recalling it didn't bring him pain. To make it short and sweet, during the aftermath of the battle, around 3 cycles later, Starscream found himself as a ghost. That ghost would wander around the land of Earth before making the mistake of being curious about how humans are formed and made that he ended up getting sucked into a newborn human sparkling when his ghost peered a little TOO CLOSE over a hospital room full of unsuspecting group of humans. He remembers screaming that day as he was pulled into an unfamiliar world.
If Shockwave was here, he'd label it as "illogical." Because it was! How did he end up like this? In the body of a human sparkling? A FEMALE HUMAN TO BE EXACT? The system of Cybertronians in their sex was very similar in a way to each other that they never had to worry about anything. But a human? Oh, it grows, it grows, and it's painful. It's horrifying, and it's disgusting. The male and females are so different, there's a whole learning system about it. How did such filthy species even grow to be so... advanced in their own way? He doesn't want to dive into that. Otherwise, he'll just get mad.
The body he's currently living in is not a human sparkling anymore, though. Or baby, as he learned. It's not, for those events happened years or cycles ago. So this body has grown a bit, currently 10, as he counts based on the units of time on Earth. This body, this girl, Starscream, is currently sitting in the room of her abode, her home. She's on her bed, which is how humans call their own berth as he learned. He lays there in that body, looking up to the ceiling, the light of the bedroom shining across the optics of the body. On the side is the study desk, and on it is a notebook with a test attached to it, left blank for hours now. He has to finish it somehow, or the teacher in school will scold this body, scold her, and scold HIM. But he can't help but feel glued to the blankets of the berth- uh... bed.
Starscream never expected it to be like this. Out of every absurd and weird outcome that would greet him for every single absurd and weird plan he makes about being the top in the Decepticon ranks, being human was NOT IN IT. He lays there with her, the body for a long time, spacing out into a universe the processors of this body made, until he was stopped by a voice he completely forgot to acknowledge.
A crack idea of an AU I had for Ghost!Starscream that I had been marinating for months now but can not really turn it into real life for creative reasons (Creative, my ass lol).
In case the text isn't clear:
"Starscream trying to explain how he, as a ghost, got sucked into a "Female Human Sparkling's" body and lived as that girl for 18 Earth years and going through the painful things female humans go through before the cons recovered his body (and revived him)"
I can already feel my friend on Tiktok sharing this, lol. Go, girl.
I've been cooking this for two months, I just finished it. On my knees begging that this trend isn't dead yet, so I could have my emotions poured out for these two 😭.
