time to kill the vibeeee 12 17 20 tfp starscream 🔫
I LIVE! sorry for not answering, needed sleep and then had to clean off the driveway. anyway! time to nuke the vibe!
12 - genuine cruelty. he puts up with enough of it on a daily basis from megatron and the other decepticons. he can handle that at work, but if he returns to his berth and finds that his partner treats him like shit, that won't fly.
apart from that, he's not a fan of filth. he may not be knock out, but he's pretty vain and takes care of his appearance, and he expects his partner to do the same. i'm not saying you have to smell like roses and fairy dust 24/7, and he's pretty understanding if you're dirty from battle or sweaty from exercise, but if you look like you got dipped in bacon grease and smell like mold, he's gonna notice.
17 - it was probably after he'd gotten ripped a new one by megatron again. he came back to his berth thinking that he needed to be on top during sex to relieve some stress, but... it didn't really feel right. he ended up having to quit halfway through because he was so tired from the events of that afternoon. turns out, he just really needed some comfort. it ended in him laying his oversized head in your lap, venting about his day. maybe an unsatisfying ending to the night, but hey, he's just grateful to have you.
20 - absolutely no bringing up other bots, ESPECIALLY megatron. that's a surefire way to get him jittery and anxious.
don't go too far with pain. he can handle some, but don't do anything that he'll have to go to knock out to get fixed. not only does it mar his looks, it's also embarrassing to explain, and not in a fun way.
also, don't go overboard with humiliation. calling him whore, slut, princess? that's fine. he's into that. but get too angry, insult his character, call him a waste of a bot, things like that, and he'll get genuinely anxious to the point where he has to stop. rule of thumb: if it sounds like megatron would say it, don't bring it up in bed.
