18. What is a comfort character you have that makes other people go ??? "Really?"
Hiii I forgot I reblogged that ask game hello!!! Lemme see- I feel like for people who are familiar with me, V.IV Rusty isn't that odd of a comfort character but recently I've been talking to people at my college's anime club and friends at conventions and he makes people confused LOL
He's just a little guy to me. He's an alomanocaris and he's doing his best.
Sentirachnid, thinking about arachnid using her legs alongside her hands to help with maximum grooming on sentinel’s wings. The surface, even with them flying, still means that bits of dirt and dust gets in hard to reach areas, so after their trips they get together in his personal washracks and she helps him get all the debris’s out and helps him get the shine back to his surface. If they can, they get some rest together before he has to go make the announcement of his return. Sentinel is of course either the little spoon (for extra wing massages) or they sleep face to face.
WHY ARE YOU ON ANON (/LH) YOU ARE A GENIUS YOOOOOOOOOOOO It's like 12:30 AM for me but I had to whip up a quick doodle because you're so right
Evil murder woman and her goofy man sooo true actually
Also- do you think sleeping with Airachnid's head close to you means you're always sleeping face-to-face considering the whole eyes on the back of her head stuff?
Picking up from previous sentirachnid, I think Sentinel is very clingy with Airachnid once they get together. He of course has to tone it outside of private time, but he’s super touchy. Hands on her back, her shoulder, her waist. Airachnid isn’t a touchy person but doesn’t mind since it’s Sentinel, however, she does get touchy when something sparks her possessive streak. She doesn’t like others touching what is hers, he is _her_ prime, she is his personal protector and confidant. She’s particularly like this after parties where he has to rub elbows with high society and meetings with the quintessons. She definitely reminds him who he belongs to after these times, and it can be very very soothing for him to know how personal her feelings are in this matter, especially after those encounters with the quintessons leave him more than a little shaken (not that he’d show it, of course) .
WHY ARE ALL THE COOL ANONS CRAWLING UP TO ME TODAY /VPOS
You are so right about Sentirachnid, genuinely. Sentinel being this social person who loves physical contact and Airachnid being fine with standing at arm's length yet making exceptions for her husband is literally Kryptonite to me. Sentirachnid's dynamic makes me WEAK!!! I love them!!!! I need them to blow up!!!!!
Byleth is a good cook yet prefers food with better nutrition quality over flavor. Also cheaper food. Byleth is a huge money-saver. If they had time to relax and do other things I think Byleth would've been able to become very skilled in the kitchen.
Hello fellow WFC Breaksounder may I please ask for your head-canons of them 🙏
OHHH YOU GOT IT BESTIE- I'm writing a fic right now but I'm in writer's block so this is gonna be fun letsgooo
Gonna keep this fluffy because I'm in a fluffy mood (<- person who just posted an angsty fic)
I wrote a ton of like- story points- so I'm stuffing it under a read more because uhhhh that's long whoops
Headcanons on how they met because I'm a yapperrrr and I've barely had anyone to yap to about them <3
Soundwave and Breakdown first met during the war. It was by chance that Megatron brought both of them on the train-station-thingy mission but he needed a trusted officer and a good soldier who wound't yap (WFC Breakdown is a yapper but he wouldn't dare say anything that would get him on Megatron's bad side.)
Their first encounter stuck with Soundwave. He's not sure why but something irritating about Breakdown made him smile, or whatever equivalent he had.
Megatron, being old friends with Soundwave, could tell that his Intelligence Officer was comfortable and let his old-self peak through. Whether it was concious or subconcious, that's for Primus to decide. Breakdown really enjoyed being brought into this weird friendgroup for like, 6 hours, or something.
Breakdown and Soundwave wouldn't cross paths again until Breakdown and Knock Out were summoned to the Nemesis.
By this point, Breakdown has mostly gotten over his anxiety, being the character we know him as in Prime, which Soundwave found odd. Soundwave never bothered to keep close tabs on Breakdown because what problems would he cause anyways? Not enough to be a threat, that's for sure.
Anyways, they don't say much to eachother, they're just two Decepticons on the same ship.
That is, until Breakdown was taken by M.E.C.H. and dissected.
Soundwave suffered a similar, even more grevious injury, during the height of the war and felt like he had to help the wounded bot. Also Knock Out was out racing because who knew Jasper, Nevada had such great street races!?
So that put Soundwave in the position to patch Breakdown up. Breakdown was scared at first (who wouldn't be when Megatron's right hand bot is staring you down?) but when he figured out what Soundwave was doing, accepted the help.
Soundwave is a smart 'con and like any good doctor, started to observe Breakdown to make sure his body adjusted to the patch job. It's during this that Soundwave began to feel some odd emotions. Not the same irritations but, something else. He couldn't describe it but he wanted to know more about the blue-grey truck.
Breakdown took notice of Soundwave's sudden attention and took this as a sign to start opening up to the silent bot. Breakdown, as always, was a yapper and liked to befriend the Vehicons onboard the Nemesis because all the other officers were less than friendly or Knock Out. Talking to the same guy over and over again can get boring, as much as you like them.
Knock Out became suspicious of Soundwave but quickly deduced what was going on and started to play matchmaker between his friend and the Intelligence Officer.
And normal relationship headcanons because I am obsessed with these two
Their love language is gift-giving and acts of service. Breakdown has an interest in Earth with how different it is from Cybertron and likes to bring back little presents for Soundwave. Soundwave returns the love by grooming Breakdown, as taught by Knock Out lol. You can tell the two just had a date when Breakdown looks extra shiny and/or Soundwave is trying to adapt some Earth tech into the Nemesis' systems.
Soundwave doesn't like to leave the Nemesis because standing on Earth makes him feel cramped and lost so the pair don't often go on dates outside of the ship but when they do, Breakdown tries to find places similar to Cybertron to comfort Soundwave. They've been to a few drive-in theaters, courtesy of Knock Out, of course.
Sometimes Soundwave sends Laserbeak out on missions with Breakdown for "insurance" but in reality, Laserbeak is also in on the pairing-up. Laserbeak also likes to take pictures of Breakdown just for Soundwave along with actively making sure the Decepticons have footage of whatever's going on just incase something happens.
Megatron absolutely can not fathom why Soundwave had suddenly become interested in Breakdown. The warlord suspects that Soundwave misses the gladiatorial arena and is trying to scope out a new rival to re-enact the old days with so Megatron is a little worried he might have infighting among his soldiers. As long as Soundwave is functioning, Megatron won't step in but, y'know. He hopes it's nothing bad.
Starscream is oblivious to the on-goings behind him.
Airachnid also takes notice in the pair's chemistry but says nothing. It's not her place to talk and she wouldn't gain anything if she did besides look like a crazy conspiracy theorist.
Dreadwing sees Breakdown's and Soundwave's closeness but never thinks too deep into it until after Breakdown's death.
The Autobots never find out about Soundwave and Breakdown's courting.
Both Soundwave and Breakdown come to think their love for the other is one-sided until Knock Out has to break the glass between them. He's very blunt and even a little rude about it but he's just so fed up with them dancing around eachother and never with eachother that he just had to burst in. Laserbeak doesn't react well to this and gets embarrassed on Soundwave's behalf. They all sort out their emotions later and things go smoothly.
Breakdown hoped to fix his broken eye after the war ends but goes back on that thought when he realizes that he'd much rather match Soundwave. Maybe he can get a visor like Soundwave's to cover his missing eye!
Soundwave wanted to finally retire after the war but he starts opening himself up to other possibilities after starting a relationship with Breakdown. He'd be fine doing anything as long as it's with his partner and minicon.
When she's bored, Miko will start making up nonsense lore for the Decepticons to get the Autobots' attention. Her favorite is suggesting that Breakdown and Soundwave have a fairytale Shakespearean tragedy K-drama-esque romance going on between them and it really peeves a majority of Team Prime. Hence why it's her favorite nonsense lore. Even Agent Fowler gets heavily confused and concerned for Miko's well-being.
FANDOM ASK GAME- GO💥💥💥 Using Transformers with this because you're a TF fan too
2. a headcanon you weren't sure about at first but have come to like
I'm fond of the idea that Seekers are a distinct yet naturally occuring type of Transformer. I was VERY iffy on that headcanon at first because a lot of people presenting it went about the concept in ways that made me unsure and kind of worried (LOTS of woobification and borderline racist approaches there) but the idea of toys that were formed from the same mold becoming characters who identify with one another is such a warm thought to me. I also really like the older term 'Skyraiders' a lot and I kinda hope the name makes a return. Also also I wish people were more unique with Seeker concepts instead of copy-and-pasting "they're BIRD robots" because oml- THERE'RE MULTIPLE KINDS OF BIRDS <- Bird owner that used to work at a bird store who based her fan continuity Seeker headcanons off of ducks, mineral formations, and insects
8. you hope more people will come to appreciate ___
Beast Wars II. Your honor, I love the goofy animal show where there's TWO 'Megatrons' and Starscream is actually so normal it's funny. Also Tasmania Kid and the Insectrons are all my sons. I'm so sad that all these characters have only reappeared as background filler for the 30+ years since their release. Ironically, Scylla (ugly anime girl who is a simp trope 😔) is one of the few members of the cast who has become reoccuring and literally she is so pretty and she deserves that win. If Rise of the Beasts gets a proper sequel that brings in more beast Transformers, PLEASE I would love to see some BWII bots come back.
16. a tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate
As little as it was, I wish more people were aware of IDW1's approach to crying. IDW1 does it's best to cement the idea that the Transformers are alien robots (which I love!) but they still humanized Windblade's grief by showing her crying over Chela's death. The writer went on to explain that Transformers don't 'cry', but Windblade was so overwhelmed with emotion that the 'film' on her eyes 'melted' and honestly that's so cool??? Waiter! More roboticization of human traits please! /ref
23. the fandom you're curious about because of a mutual
I have irl mutuals who are super into Bungou Stray Dogs and while it seems right up my ally, I just can't bring myself to start reading it even though I really want to. If Gaston Leroux winds up being a character I will speedread BSD
