Hi! Was thinking of that Ratchet fic you wrote a while ago, it really makes me smile to re-read! Wanted to say you're a great writer!
If you're interested, I'd be curious to read about Bumblebee trying an automatic car wash for the first time just out of curiosity sake lol any continuity is great!
No pressure though! Hope you're having a great day!
[IDW, TFP, EARTHSPARK] LEISURE TIME WASH!
A/N: First Bumblebee ask!!! Getting to this was tough, and I DEFINITELY left this in my askbox too long. Enjoy!
Warnings: GN! Bot! Reader, use of second person for Reader, Reader is implied to be an Autobot.
IDW:
- It depends, really, on how close he was to the bot that suggested it to him. Bumblebee would be a little wary if you were an Autobot he didn't know well. It's not that he doesn't trust his teammates, no. It's more of the fact that most Autobots still saw him as the young, energetic scout that raised his servos in surrender when spoken to suddenly. He doesn't expect them to know what suits him anymore.
- If you'd been around for a while, though, Bumblebee would be much more up to the task. Still wary, but he trusts you. He'd still ask you to accompany him for it, though. He's got to make sure this isn't some kind of prank.
- Tenses up so bad for the pre-soak. He understands that it's a cleaning process, but is there really a need for pipes to be spraying at him at such high pressure? The foaming soap doesn't calm him either. It gets all into his plating, and he seriously doubts that it'll come off easy.
- If the soft-touch wash is chosen, Bee might feel a little relaxed. The brushes get him uncomfortable, but the rest is soft, unlike most things on Cybertron. He relishes the new texture. This is the part he enjoys the most. He might not even complain during the undercarriage wash, which likely feels a little invasive.
- Choosing touchless, though? None of the pre-soak tension will be leaving his frame anytime soon. More jets of water flying at him with the intent to crack his windshields? No thank you. The undercarriage wash feels so wrong.
- The drying process chills him to the core, but Bumblebee doesn't complain. He's used to worse. And hey, at least his finish looks sparkly? Primus forbid water spots get left behind, though.
- All in all, depending on your choice of wash, he'll either get into it slowly or never approach a car wash with a twelve foot pole.
TFP:
- Bumblebee's got no qualms whatsoever to try it out when you suggest it. There's barely any Autobots on Earth, so he's naturally formed a close bond to everyone on Team Prime. While Bee isn't one to complain about dirt on his finish, it'd be nice to kill time with a teammate while getting a good wash!
- You'll have to warn him that it's nothing like an oil bath. He's a naturally curious mech, so explaining the process would definitely help him gain a better understanding of what he's getting into.
- The pre-soak likely tickles. All those jets of water at once may overstimulate him for a second or two, but Bumblebee's nothing if not adaptable. He gets used to it soon.
- Definitely gets into the soft-touch wash. It's been a long time since Team Prime's had time for luxury, since even basic necessities like Energon are sometimes out of reach. He likes the feelings of all the little cloths and scrubs. Doesn't mind touchless washes either.
- Another mech that thinks the undercarriage wash is invasive. Bee gets that he needs his tires cleaned, but come on, the undercarriage's got some of his internal structure! Definitely whirs dejectedly about it throughout the drying.
- Overall, Bee's mildly enjoyed himself! Might go again if you ask. Enough washes going with you, and he'll soon be driving himself to the nearest car wash station when he feels a little too grimy.
EARTHSPARK:
- When I say this mech is HESITANT to hear you out on this one. A wash? Why would you suggest that? Are you implying that his finish has dirt on it or something?
- It's no secret that Bee's a clean freak, seeing how much he hated Agent Schloder eating powdered donuts inside his alt-mode, not to mention the immaculate finish.
Sue me if you've ever seen a speck of dust on him.
- If you do coax him into it, Bumblebee's still not going in with high hopes. He treats it like scouting: Carefully assessing the area for threats to ensure his own safety, even if you tell him that car washes can't hurt him.
- Very similar reactions to IDW Bumblebee. Tenses during the pre-soak, relaxes at the soft-touch wash and despises the undercarriage wash. What if the water messed up his Energon Suppressor?
- The only difference would be that he wouldn't mind the touchless wash. By the time the pre-soak is over, Bee would be well-adjusted to the spraying water, and would only question why the pre-soak and main wash felt the exact same.
- Acts paranoid at the first mention, but once he realizes it's nothing to be worried about, Bee might go alone to keep himself clean. He's earned it with so many cycles on the run, after all.
Farewell to the signs, the fountains, the chairs, the desks, the walls, the stalls, the sinks, the equipment, the bleachers, the grass, ground, and air
Alright, so after about half a year and a finished semester of university, I actually finished the last two parts of that GunnTech Comic...
In theory, there are three parts left, but the last part is the first one I ever made when I didn't even plan on making more than one part, so I will put it here again...
The last part is missing the timestamp, and I'm too lazy to add it, so I'll just tell you that the last part is between 16:30 and 17:00...
Starter call. Give this post a like for a short starter! Should there be any specifications to be made, feel free to make me know about them and I'll adapt ♥︎
Extra: You know the drill, it's set in a generic "Revived Morro Lives w/ the Ninja" AU, between Seasons 10 and 11.
"So, how's my costume?" Morro asked smugly.
The Ninja stared silently. Lloyd's mouth was open in silent horror.
"You're all speechless, I count this as a win."
"No, Morro," Kai muttered, a horrified quiver in his tone, "We are not speechless in a positive way."
The green face paint on Morro's face wrinkled into a frown, also shifting the contour that made his cheeks look deathlike and hollow. He adjusted the collar of a ragged gi fashioned after the one he wore as a ghost. His badly trimmed nails scraped at the bandages, which were stained to look realistically dirty, and patches of fake blood were visible on certain parts of them.
All in all, it was a terrifyingly accurate Halloween costume of his ghost form.
"...is there something wrong with it?" the ex-ghost cosplaying as himself questioned.
"You dressed as your dead body," Nya deadpanned.
"No, I dressed as my cursed soul," Morro corrected. "Samuel is dressed as my dead body."
"W-who's Samuel?" Jay hesitantly asked.
Out of seemingly nowhere, Morro brought a plastic skeleton with a burnt crude version of Morro's gi, along with a bad wig of Morro's hair. "This is Samuel."
Lloyd broke into hysterical laughter, causing the Other Ninja to giggle as well.

I'm actually finished! Now, I can work on finishing my AUs!
