Hi, could you do a DJD headcanon for a human reader, like they were just gonna take it as hostage but eventually became a honorary crew.
i love this trope for the djd lmao
honorary djd human
they weren't sure how, why, or when the change happened
one day you sat in a cage for an animal, and now you're atop tesarus's shoulder while you argue about human reality tv
nickel is by far having the hardest time with this change. she despises humans, more so than the usual decepticon hatred towards humanity, and for good reason honestly
nickel will never go out of her way to talk to you, but she at least tolerates your presence and refrains from ripping you limb from limb. call it a win
she does, VERY reluctantly learn human anatomy and medicine at the request of the crew (she wasn't going to until tarn got involved)
speaking of tarn, he is also handling it very poorly. he's conflicted. on one servo, he strangely enjoys the alien presence. his world has been opened to a variety of music and literature he would have NEVER willingly exposed himself to before. on the other servo, he's a decepticon. not just a decepticon, he is the leader of the decepticon justice division.
tarn will act like letting you free on the ship was his call, just to feel like he has control over you, as if it wasn't because helex wanted a mascot, tes got bored, and kaon thought you would be a cute new pet
kaon treats the human like a pet that can talk, not like a sentient being with autonomy over themself. he really just sees you as a friend for the pet, just a little smarter
from an outside perspective, it seems that vos has the same mindset as kaon. then again, no one ever really knows what's going on in vos's little head
in the start, vos found fun in tormenting you. dragging you into the vents and watch you get lost and terrified, throwing you around, just generally terrifying you.
then, when he got bored with that, and had some realisations surrounding his past and your situation, it turned more into a morbid curiosity
but now you're no better than him. the vents are your domain
helex and you have kind of a.. strained relationship
he was banned from interacting with you when you were still caged. he kept threatening to eat you. the others thought it was just to scare you, until he actually tried
so yeah, that's still on your mind
helex is probably the freakiest of the whole djd, in both meanings of the word. he will not stop trying to weird you out, but depending on your reactions, he might warm up to you
once you said you were cold so he threw you in his smelter on a low setting. you still freaked the fuck out bc you thought you were going to die
nickel thought it was hilarious, kaon was pissed that helex stressed out his little pet
i'm definitely biased because tesarus is my favourite, but you and tes get along like a house fire.
his previous interactions with human media give him more understanding of your references you might bring up
you are the only one allowed in tesarus's room. it is filled with cutesy plushies, posters, and human media references, he will die before the rest of the djd finds out.
given you are human, he feels safer revealing this to you
he will kick your ass at mario kart, don't fucking test him
Hey this might be weird , but can you do , djd killed a human and they haunt them , i really wanna see what kind of reaction they have to ghosts , like do organics have a soul ?? Or what ever you want
thats morbid as fuck. sick
TW: i do go into (minor) detail about how they tortured the human. i refer to the human as “you”, it’s kind of a subconscious because that’s just how i write. these parts are in —italics—
DJD being haunted by a human
—It’s pretty obvious why you’re haunting them.—
—If they didn’t just step on you, they tortured you. Horribly.—
—I’ve said before that Helex is very interested in human stomachs because he compares them to his smelter, he takes the chance to see a human stomach up close.—
—Nickel is more than happy to take revenge for her home. She has always wondered how humans move around, she’d love to see how tendons work instead of gears and pulleys.—
—All of them are rather curious if humans splat or crunch. They’ve had arguments about it before, and they placed bets before they chucked you at a wall to finish it all off.—
—Nickel wasn’t to happy about that though, she made them clean it up.—
[TORTURE TW OVER/FINISHED]
Tesarus or Vos is the first to see your ghost.
Tes gets bored and wanders the ship just looking for something to put his energy into. Usually he gives up and takes a nap
Depending on whether you wanna scare him or make him feel guilty doesn’t matter. He’s freaked the fuck out
The rest of the DJD come running when Tes lets out a high pitched screech
They don’t see anything and they (mostly Helex) relentlessly make fun of Tes
for 1. that fucking scream because what in the pit and 2. he’s scared of a human. a human ghost that doesn’t exist
You go around and pick them out one by one to scare them.
Kaon is especially freaked out. He’s blind and relies on echolocation (i love that this is cannon) when he doesn’t have the pet, and the fact that he can tell where you are scares him.
He can’t see you, can’t touch you, can’t hear you walk or breathe, and he can’t find where you are with echolocation.
The only way he knows you’re there is if the pet goes crazy or you make yourself known
Tarn is either freaking the fuck out or he tries to talk to you while internally freaking out.
Nickel is the one who actually tries to talk to you. Only because she thinks it’s annoying that harmless little you is completely disabling the most feared division in the universe.
When they finally all group up to discuss what’s happening, they all kind of agree they thought humans didn’t have souls.
They think of humans how a human would think of a bug; step on it and move on. Just more intelligent (though not much)
They just hate you, and they let it be known. Tarn is the one that realises you hold the power; being immortal and unharmable and all
—He at least tries to be civil. It’s extremely awkward, because his team was laughing while they killed you brutally and now he’s being all polite.—
Vos is the only one that kind of enjoys this. He doesn’t wanna talk about the noise he made when he saw you in the vents for the first time, but he appreciates a fellow scare artist.
It’s kind of an unspoken truce between the two of you (eventually)
And between you and Tarn. He has no idea what you can truly do and doesn’t want to find out, so he makes it a point to try and stay on your good side.
That doesn’t mean he’s not a little off put, he just not an asshole about it like Helex is.
Helex’s mouth is a trash dump when you’re near him. Every organic slur in the book is thrown at you, whether you know what it means or not.
Tes can’t look you in the eye. Or at you in general. He’s embarrassed by that scream and he can’t stand how awkward it is to have a former victim standing in front of him

for a little intro i thought id just make a quick headcanon list for some of my favs❤️
p1/2
cut is to save space
general transformers headcanons
MTMTE
riptide
first of all, his holoform is an australian surfer dude. i'm not taking criticism on that
he also has an australian accent if it wasn't implied
canonically too stupid to be brainwashed, it is impossible to manipulate him
not because he KNOWS he's being manipulated, not by any means
he's just so authentically riptide that no one can slow his roll
yeah, the comments towards his intelligence gets to him, it would get to anybot, but he gets through it by enjoying the simple pleasures in life
drinks at the bar, swimming in the oil reservoir, etc
out of all the bots on the lost light, i think riptide (besides swerve ofc) is most likely to get with a human (be that platonically, romantically, or physically)
he just can't understand the hatred and hesitancy toward humans
ofc he still finds humans strange and alien (bc duh) but he's not put off by the differences between species like other bots are
if anything, he thinks some humans are pretty cute
and earth marine life? don't even get him started
he knows nothing about it, but he finds it so primus damn cool
bc what do you mean there's an alien animal that looks like HIM
instantly falls in love with earth sharks
in an emergency, riptide is your guy (lemme explain)
he's not great with solving issues, but he would do anything and everything to ensure the safety of his loved ones
tell him what to do, and he's on it asap
this bot is a yapper. if you let him he will talk and talk and talk, going on every side tangent available to him
honestly doesn't really have a filter, if he's thinking of something he says it
tesarus
adhd depressed gamer loser
complains about anything and everything. it's half of what he talks about
yes tes, we know you're bored you said that 30 seconds ago
despite that he's not talkative. very much a loner type
but still, very loyal to his loved ones.
his deepest, darkest secret is that he enjoys human video games. he will die before he admits that to the rest of the DJD
rarely lets anyone in his room bc it's full of gamer shit and he's embarrassed about it
he has played doki doki literature club, and very much enjoyed it (much to his dismay)
the first couple notes of the intro song wakes him like a sleeper agent
he's good with his servos, he likes making little trinkets and stuff out of scraps collected from the corpses of traitors
with this talent, he created an insertable barrier for his grinder so vos can be a strange little creature and nap in there
the inside of his grinder is sensitive. not like, sensual, but he knows what's going on in there. getting bits of traitor stuck in there is his own personal hell
but of course, he slacks on the upkeep. the guy is prone to depressive episodes, where he just stops any and all self care, which gets dangerous after a point.
once nickel came along, she treated tesarus to a bout of tough love. it seems to help him at least a bit, even if being yelled at by a woman the size of your foot is embarrassing
him and helex bully the fuck out of each other
not like, actually trying to hurt each other, but they both think it's funny to rile one another up and poke fun
they usually have a private comm link open during meetings bc 1. meetings are boring and 2. it's even funnier when they can't react to each other
you how if you were play fighting with a sibling in front of your mom and she freaks out bc she thinks your ACTUALLY fighting? that's tarn.
tarn is the anxious mother who just wants her children to get along but they're all assholes
