supernatural au (cybverse)

carry your bones -- joel/fwhip, fwhip & gem

summary: Joel is bleeding out in the passenger seat of his car. fWhip has one hand on the wheel, the other squeezing Joel’s shoulder, and he’s trying desperately not to look over. The night is dark around them and the tree line on either side of the countryside road is claustrophobic. Joel groans and squeezes his arm around the wound across his stomach, where he’s got fWhip’s discarded flannel pressed against him.

sending out flares -- joel/fwhip

summary: The next time going to a shitty highway motel after staying at Gem’s is always terrible. It’s terrible because Gem isn’t there, and because Sausage isn’t there -- he stopped by to congratulate them, and also to save Gem from them -- and because the beds are always fucking bricks. Bricks with springs sticking out. So it’s with heavy hearts and linked hands that fWhip and Joel stumble into their latest motel room -- one king, not two queens.

a soft place to land -- gem & joel, joel/fwhip

summary: The thing about Gem is that she got out. Of course, with this line of work, she ended up getting looped into everything anyways.

#will update for each fic posted!#i prefer to make this a series and not just one chaptered fic because. it's more fun like that #plus the whole point is exploring different people (and pairings) within the universe !! so i want them to have separate stories #even if theyre all pretty much friends or vaguely connected #cams writing #cybverse #spnau #<- everything for this should also be under those two tags

they are lesbians

I know Cyberverse is just an objectively bad series but I really had some hope for it because it took a lot of very common Transformers tropes and twisted them around into something new. I thought that part was fun! Even though it wasn’t well executed most of the time, it was entertaining with how ridiculous and out of left field it was. However, as most of you know, I’m a very big Starscream fan. He’s my favorite character in almost every Transformers media I’ve ever consumed, so I pay a lot of attention to his character. And lemme say. The way Cyberverse handled Starscream’s character was probably one of the worst ways I’ve seen a series handle him.

Warning for some spoilers for season 2 and 3.

So I never expected much from the writing of Cyberverse because it was just. Really chaotic and all over the place and often times shit just happened because. It just did. No explanation. However, there were some moments where the writing was good. Like. REALLY good. I thought most of Starscream’s arc during the first two seasons was super interesting! He got mistreated, he finally had enough, he fought back, he ended up fake dying by Megatron’s hand, he came back, he took the Allspark to be more powerful, and then, and then miraculously! He was STILL ALIVE after that! And Bumblebee even WENT OUT OF HIS WAY to bring him back alive! I really really really thought that was the writers setting up a chance for a, dare I say, STARSCREAM REDEMPTION ARC??? I was so fucking hopeful! There was even a moment where Starscream was getting a little soft, a little vulnerable while he was in jail, and he even helped the autobots figure out how to work with the Allspark! I was like YO! This has so much potential!

And then he broke out of the ship. And then he was taken away on the side of a Titan. And then he was. Turned into...a giant tentacle head creature that was honestly really fucking ugly and that entire arc in the third season was just so fuckin out of place and had NO business being there like! UGH. It’s so very frustrating. BUT! I still had a teeny little sparkle of hope. I knew the SECOND Megatron left to go to another universe the writers were going to make him return last minute to help! I don’t know WHY he as a character, after saying he was off to conquer another universe, would RETURN just to COMPROMISE. BUT GO OFF I GUESS. And then. It happened.

A fleeting moment during the final battle with Starscream where Megatron said “Starscream, I have mistreated you all this time.” and i was like YES! YES THIS IS IT! He’s going to take responsibility for what he pushed Starscream to do and maybe, just MAYBE they’re going to work out their differences and Starscream will get a redemption arc. There are still like ten more episodes! It can happen! But then this mfer says, “But now I have to destroy you.” And then like, ya know, bam. Starscream’s dead.

So, to recap, Megatron, who on screen beat the ever loving shit out of Starscream, genuinely attempted to kill him, showed very little remorse about doing so, attempted to leave this universe for dead in order to conquer another universe, came back, ACKNOWLEDGED that Starscream’s actions were partly his own fault due to the way he treated him- HE gets to roam free and move on with life. But Starscream, who was, I admit, in the wrong, but was pushed to his mental and emotional limits and driven to this power hungry state and never once had his character properly examined in order to work through his issues- he gets to die. And at the hand of his own abuser, no less. And that’s it. That’s it. That’s LITERALLY it.

I genuinely really enjoyed the wacky, nonsensical badly written parts of Cyberverse for a while, but honestly? This just really rubbed me the wrong way. Especially when there were several instances where it felt like the writers were promising something more. It’s so disappointing. Please, for anyone out there that sees this that EVER plans on writing for a piece of TF media, just like. Give us a good fucking Starscream redemption arc. For once don’t let his character end in torture tragedy. Let him fuckin learn and be better.
