Hoist is someone who likely has an abundance of free time, boredom stuck to him like an uncleanable glue. messaging and calls with you are something he looks forward to, entranced by your retelling of the day's events, overeager to hear about what he was up to. he can’t help himself, able to divulge himself when it comes to taking breaks from his daily tasks, always looking for your company if available. so accustomed to your voice that if time passes him by where he’s expecting a call from you, he’s definitely questioning it in the back of his mind. Hoist likely wouldn’t gather the courage to be so forward at first, persuading himself that you hadn’t called because something came up and not because something was amiss. you have things you need to accomplish for the day, getting tied up with another assignment is not anything to get worked up over.
it’s later the same evening that Hoist breaks the self-restraint, fumbling to give you a call that rings on and on, longer than he’s ever experienced. it dips into your voicemail, to which the green mech offers a supportive and cheerful message, hoping everything is well. toying with the idea the entire time, he eventually concludes the message with an: “I’ve missed you,”. it’s a step outside his comfort zone, saying something so brave over the phone and not in person, but he means it. Hoist misses you so much, and can’t help but fret well into the night that something must be very, very wrong. you’ve never disappeared this long on him before, and while you have situations every now and then where you’re unavailable, you always give him a heads up. being absent for this long raises some distress, insatiable until he hears your voice or sees your face. [preference on the latter].
he steps away from base early the next morning to seek you out. even if he drives past your work to see that your car has moved there, or hopes to catch a glimpse of you on your way out the door. Hoist only finds relief when you call him, rambling apologies over and over. you’re fine, and safe. he doesn’t care the reason for your nonappearance, obviously unless you are hurt or having a problem. you don’t have to explain yourself, but Hoist also can’t keep his composure rightened upon your reunion. his digits find your form and stay there, cradling you to his face as he hums in delight, ecstatic to have you here. he’d likely never tell you just how restless he was, but it’s safe to say all is well in his optics now.
while Perceptor is known to disappear at times, he’s definitely made better strides to be more vocal and transparent when he is able to do so with you. he enjoys your company, looks for it even when he has the chance to steal you away for a few hours of privacy. however, an unexpected quiet from you is another story, something that sets off alarms in his processor very early on. even when you don’t pick up his call the first time, Perceptor’s brow raises, an audible hum of confusion stumbling forth. he doesn’t bank on you being always available on his schedule, but he’s also well aware that he hasn’t heard from you in a reasonable time frame per your character. when things don’t add up in his mind, he’s pretty quick to set out to find you, asking in passing if anyone has seen you, or knows of your whereabouts.
while he isn’t the most fondest of communication via technology, he respects its functionality and facility. in instances where he’s away for quite a while, he’s come to anticipate and appreciate your encouraging messages and thoughtful words. Perceptor is well aware that you’ve got him wound around your finger, but he can’t help himself to concede to such small requests you propose every now and then, mostly in his favor regardless. you miss him, and you want to see him. he feels the same, so who is he to tell you no, not now? somewhere along the line, he’s found himself talking to an empty chair, thinking you’re there and seeking your advice but you are attending to your own responsibilities, away.
Perceptor isn’t going to stop until you’re found, so he does try you a handful more times whilst searching for you. he’d claim he isn’t overly worried, not initially, but his hastened pace gives him away. his only reassurance is perhaps things ran late at work/class, or you had a change of plans that didn’t stick to your schedule. that’s totally fine with him, but if it’s going onto the next day, and still nothing from you? Perceptor is entirely stumped and overly troubled by your unusual behavior. ultimately, upon finding you and discovering the reason for your silence, a sigh of relief can be witnessed in his frame. one that starts in his shoulders, able to visibly see them relax beside a mumble of: “I am so glad you’re alright,”. all he could ever ask is that you’re happy and healthy, so the ease can’t help but flood him when he takes in that you’re well.
“Radio one to y/n, anybody home?” Jazz isn’t one to fret about impromptu silence on your end, sympathetic to the fact you have daily tasks to be completed that don’t align with his spare time to chat. ever the tease, he’s also very likely to assume you’re being playful or hard to get, sometimes not answering right away or pretending as if he had the wrong number. no, he most definitely has the right number, but plays along if only to hear your fits of giggles. so the first stretch of time with silence from you isn’t insane, and Jazz isn’t all riled up over it until he tries you again later on. then again, knowing full well you are long out of work/class [another mech who has your schedule committed to memory], and you always give him a call afterward. sure, sometimes he can’t be there to pick you up, but he appreciates the check-in more than you understand. you’re safe, and perhaps he can steal some more of your time before being pulled away to responsibilities.
after the third or fourth try, Jazz leaves a handful of messages. they start a little jokingly, “You’re gonna get it when you finally pick up,” then fall to a little more desperate, “Where did you go? Are you alright?” and eventually settle on something twinged with guilt. “What, did I do somethin’ wrong? Ya mad at me?” you are very important to him, and the grand unknown when he can’t get ahold of you in the way he is so accustomed to, he’s on the move. favors are cashed in if he’s supposed to be elsewhere, and at this point nothing could stop him from heading in the direction of your home. Jazz is also calling you the whole way there as well, ignoring the pit in his stomach that only winds tighter at each going to voicemail, his garbled thoughts filling your inbox and then some.
his composure remains but it’s a struggle to keep it up when so much worry consumes him. whatever the situation may be, the reason you were away from your phone for a while, he doesn’t need to know. your apologies are not required, all Jazz cares about is that you’re alright, guilty of holding you a little tighter and closer in the aftermath. always gentle, but there’s a protectiveness that brims in him in your regard, and if anything happened to you and he wasted precious time? it’s an unforgivable action in his optics, knowing next time to just head straight to the scene of the crime, either your place or work/class. “Jazz?” you pull back, fingers skating under his chin, wholly in a consoling and gentle manner. “Why did I just get a notification that my voicemail is full?”
[a/n: many thanks for the suggestions for characters this time around, this was fun to write!! 🫶]
Obviously jazz and reader have their own separate hobbies from before meeting each other but what hobbies do you think they enjoy doing together?
I think they'd go to different couples dance classes (ballroom, salsa, etc) among other hobbies
A/N: This turned into headcanons with a small scenario at the end, hope that's okay! Anyway enjoy! I left it open so really this could be with an version of Jazz you image it to be.
WARNINGS: None this is fluff
I think you're right they would love to go to dance classes (among other things I'll elaborate on later). But I think the catch is they never go to the same class twice in a row
Meaning if they do a salsa class one time the next time has to be a different genre
I think this rule was started because part of the hobby is seeing how many dancing types you could learn
Sure there are some styles you guys like more than others so you'll eventually go back but never twice in a row
As a result you two have done salsa, samba, hip hop, ballroom, contemporary, tap, line dancing & even a pole dancing class one time. (Jazz had to turn his holoform female for that one lol.)
All together it's a pretty fun hobby and forces you both always just a little bit outside of your comfort zone
You two go there knowing little to nothing about the dance style & learn together over stumbling feet
Other hobbies you two have is blindly choosing games to play. This involves you two going to store (Jazz in his holoform) and one Spins the other around before pointing them at the board game wall. Eyed closed the person who was spun picks a game & then you two play it when you get home.
Is this a bit of an odd one? Yes. Do you guys sometimes end up buying games you don't particularly like? Yes. But more often then not to get exposed to a new game & have a great night
Imagine playing the wackiest games with the best snacks & that's what this is
Also in your free time you two teach each other your native languages. Cause while Jazz learned some English on Earth he far from understand everything. And for you, learning cybertronian is awful but seeing his face light up when you finally get a word right is reward enough
~~~~~~~~~~~
It was your day off of work and Jazz had managed to avoid patrol duties for the afternoon & night. So of course naturally you two had signed up for the nearest dance class; ballroom. It was personally one of your guys favorites because it made you two feel so timeless & romantic.
Looking up into the eyes of Jazz's holoform, you smiled as he effortlessly kept time with you. Leading you with just enough force to remind you of the steps, but never overbearing.
"So I was thinking," you started, "order Chinese tonight with another game of Randos?"
Humming in thought, Jazz dipped you before responding, "sounds good to me."
I'm not sure how disabilities gully work in tf generally speaking, I think most continuities would go "yeah they're robots they just replace shit" but HRMMM I need more visably disabled robots!!!! AND GUYS IF THERE'S ANY DISABLED ROBOTS LIKE THIS (for example Ultra Magnus in tf prime) LET ME KNOW CAUSE I'D LOVE TO SEE THEM!!!!!!
I really wanna have him with a prosthetic leg from the tfone mining incident, cause I think he would be really cool with it and open up SO MANY talking points about it in the lore. My guess is that being a miner, he probably didn't have the funds to get a spendy ass replica leg so he got what he could. It's shitty and sometimes makes his life more difficult, he is probably saving up to get at least a better one cause this one doesn't suit all his needs. Yet he's still content enough with it, able to be humorous in grim situations.
Jazz would LOVE to fuck with people with it. Like when like dancing, his leg will "accidentally" slip off and hit a bot in the face as they scream bloody murder. Jazz finds a lot of chances to be silly with it, pulling pranks, cracking jokes, making up white lies to strangers, because that's who he is and also to kinda say fuck you to abelist bots who treat him differently due to how noticeable the prosthetic is.
And imagine if he was in ES with a prosthetic leg and meets Dorothy, itd be so cute and fun to see them have solidarity over it. Both lost theirs doing their job and I'm sure Jazz got a lot of looks on Cybertron for having a prothestic that stands out rather than trying to get an exact copy of his other leg. Dorothy might not have seen a lot of transformers before with prosthetics/didn't know they could get them and both are very curious about the processes to get them on Earth and Cybertron.
Jazz is a fun guy but does not have a blind eye to the discrimination he faces (cause he can't). I am also very transparently projecting, cause while I am not missing a limb, his could be a story of being a poor disabled person which IS something I'm intimately fimilliar with.
He has less job opportunities due to his lesser quality leg, he can't take on as many shifts and it gets achey if left on for too long (which in order to make a living he often times has to push past its limits). While he can transform, it takes some getting used to again and does get comments about people being able to see where his prosthetic and how it "ruins the aesthetic" of his alt mode. He can be as funny as he wants, but sometimes it does get to him, and does know when to cut the crap and get serious about it. He genuinely doesnt feel lesser for his disability, he's just really angry at the bots around him who see him as lesser, he has to work 20 times harder than another bot to get the same amount of work, and tbh I don't see a lot of support for being disabled happening on Cybertron. I kinda think Jazz is an outliar where most prosthetic bots are shut ins or they had to turn to other means to get paid (ie. instead of getting a hands or legs, they get weapons to fight illegally), but Jazz is fighting to be seen and treated as an equal, and not a lot of bots like others "rising from their ranks".
shallura high school au? like maybe the paladins are all part of the football team or lit anything else like that that you want. hahhaha sorry, i dont have much imagination
But this is like the cutest thing ever. I’m gonna do this as kinda like a headcanon cause there is so much to this.
-So I saw this and thought you meant soccer and so I’m going with that cause I can absolutely see them in both American Football and European Football and I’ve always wanted to do something with Team Voltron and soccer
- Alighty, so Shiro and Allura would be Seniors, Keith, Lance and Hunk would be Juniors and Pidge would the incoming freshman
- Allura and Shiro are like the stars of the team but when they first started out in their freshman year, they hated each other cause they both wanted to be team captain.
- Though after like two weeks, they found out they had a lot in common and Shiro could see that Allura had the potential to be a great team captain and decided to let her take the point and followed her lead.
- Shiro is the main striker for their team while Allura is the forward.
- Keith and Lance work well together on the field with each other being the right midfielder and back right respectively but off the field they fight like cats and dogs.
- Shiro or Hunk are usually able to break them up but since Pidge joined the team, they have had Pidge to jokingly (not really) remind them that this is usually how relationships start, it becomes the team mission to get them together along with Shiro and Allura
- (Both pairs are oblivious to their own relationship but want the other to succeed, it causes a lot of headaches for everyone, especially Hunk and Pidge.)
- Pidge and Hunk play left back and goalkeeper respectively and can kick some ass.
- Pidge is fast and can duck and dive between the enemy team, stealing the ball from them. They are also an amazing strategist and can bring Team Voltron together to win.
- Hunk can either be the immovable force or jump into the sky to defend the goal. Most of the other teams underestimate Hunk and everyone knows that’s the worse thing you could do, especially when he and Pidge team up.
- So this is suppose to be Shallura but I guess I made it more team-centric but I can absolutely see Shiro and Allura over coming this rivalry that they tried to have (which like I said, ended within weeks) and just resort to flirting 24/7, even in the middle of games, which can get on everyones nerves
- But if anyone brings it up, Shiro and Allura immediately deny it and will threaten them until they stop.
- Allura finally gets fed up on waiting for Shiro to ask her out and just walks up to him one day in the middle of practice and kisses him, and then asks him out on a date for that night. Shiro is too shocked to reply and Keith has to do it for him (”Sure, how’s 7 o’clock sound?” “Perfect. See you then Shiro.”
- They end up having their first date out in the middle of the school’s soccer field and are spied on by the rest of the team and coach, Coran.
Alrighty, hopefully you enjoy this cause I could keep going but then things would get crazy. Maybe I’ll revisit this once I get through some other things cause I love this AU and have so many ideas for it!
Hello! I saw you were still open for requests and I was hoping to ask something for g1 or idw jazz, where he likes to fluster the reader by saying a mix of sweet and slightly suggestive things to them, but he himself gets flustered by the reader giving him a smile or a genuine compliment, just something sweet. Keep up the great work, love your writing!
_jazz x reader hc’s
[a/n: hi!! thank you so much!! & I’m so sorry this took a while!! 🫶]
the first time jazz did it, he was expecting a reaction, not necessarily a counter attack. but oh boy is he all over it, talking a little louder than normal to try and cover the fact his systems are warm enough his cooling fans kick on. you’ve started something, ignited a game now, whomever can keep it going the longest wins. a competitive nature emerges. you’re pulling out all the stops, praising him and telling him how good he looks and does it lead to several kisses? yes.
after the initial exchange, jazz eats such commendations up every time. it’s a greeting, a goodbye, a middle of a conversation kinda thing. he wants to tell you how beautiful/handsome you look, but is now never doing so just for your reaction, he really does mean it. not that he didn’t before, but he wants you to know so you never forget it. in case he doesn’t say it enough, [to him, it’s never enough, he’s spend all day talking to you if he could]. it’s like a watch set on a constant timer, if he’s by your side then he’s going to remind you of how lovely you are.
your praise is different. it’s not about his work or his life, it’s genuine compliments to his charming personality and easygoing manner. it always has him riled up, just mention how much you adore him inside & out and he’s immediately drunk on your words. jazz is another one that probably is well aware his s/o has him wrapped around their finger but he doesn’t care. not one bit. you don’t take advantage of that, and he wants you to know that he’s there for you, always. anything you need, so much as ask and he’s on it. your compassion and empathy is enough to keep him going for days.
moments when you would be flustered, would probably be in more intimate and intense moments, where he really has the better practice of turning your blush a rosy hue. you’re still able to come up with several comebacks in return, but the way he treats you there’s not enough praises in the world that would stop him. he’s ongoing, mumbling everything he loves about you into the crook of your neck. it’s ticklish and it’s inebriating, but jazz just wants to be as close to you as possible every second of every day.
Headcanon thats Jazz uses the vents to get around the base quickly and whenever he needs to pick up reports/paperwork they're simple left in the opening of the vents like they're offerings.
Thanks for coming to my Ted-Talk.
Based off of the headcanon I have no recollection of typing up in my notes last night.
Jazz has a huge affinity for music and a largely eclectic taste. Whenever she is stressed out or hyper, she generally puts on her music and goes for a run. These runs sometimes contain some dancing intermissions depending on the song. She has periods where she is obsessed with certain types of music. She once was on a Les Mis kick for two months, listening to Eponine’s “On My Own” on near constant repeat.
Jazz always requests crayons and draws on the placemats whenever she goes to diners. She isn’t a talented artist by anyone’s definition, but what she lacks for talent, she makes up with humor. She often draws parodies of herself, her family and her friends. Most find her drawings crude and amusing.
Jazz loves hazelnut, particularly hazelnut flavored coffee and ice cream. She goes through one jar of nutella in a week and lords over her supply vigorous. Touch her nutella without her permission and you will have an angry Jazz on your hands.
Jazz loves taking long bubble baths and will soak for hours much to the chagrin of her siblings. More often than not, she will put on her headphones and take a nap in the bathtub and will not hear yelling or any pounding on the door from the angry people waiting to use the bathroom. She’s aware it happens and gives zero shits.
Like her mother, Jazz is not overly fond of intense horror movies, however she absolutely adores b-horror movies and will make fun of them. She loves them more than deliberate comedies.
So since I started writing about Alien!Keith (Can’t really decide if he is Galra or Altean or maybe even Arusian from the old series) I’ve been thinking about how things would work out for him and everyone else.
It kinda starts before the show even starts (Pre-Kerberos)
Keith is an orphan, his human parent killed in a tragic accident when he was super young (like 4 or 5 years old) and it unknown what happened to his other parent
Because of this, Keith feels so out of place because people just give him looks of pity and talk about him and his family when they think he isn’t listening
“Poor thing, abandoned by one parent, then to lose another.” “They probably didn’t want to deal with the little freak.” “So sad they had to die just so they could get away from him”
All of these words scorn him and he just keeps away from everyone and then meets Shiro. who is always there for him and as they get older, he falls hard for his best friend
And for the first time, he feels like he belongs because Shiro is there for him and when Shiro goes off he feels okay still but the disappearance of Shiro and his crew breaks him even more than his parent’s death.
He goes off on his own for the year, and he feels the energy of the Lions pull him, especially Red, and starts to realize that he is different from everyone else but he doesn’t understand how or why so he kinda pushes the thought away
When Shiro suddenly returns to Earth and the Voltron crew begin their journey, he begins to think again about how he feels different
When he battles the druid and is burned, he begins his new ‘transformation’ into his alien origin, even though he and the others don’t notice.
As he battles Zarkon, his instincts begin to bleed through and his body shows signs of changing (I’m going to go with Galra as his alien half cause that the one I see the most and is kinda my favorite right now)
His eyes go from the purple hue to bright flashing yellow, teeth sharpen, blotches of purple skin seem to pop up, but he doesn’t notice because he is so focused on protecting Shrio and everyone else
When he and Red are injured, Keith knocked unconscious, these features all seem to fade away. But once everyone is sperated, the fear and panic set in again within him, they become more prominent and permanent.
His skin is now purple, cat like ears have replaced his human ears and they are on top of his head, which take forever to get use to, his teeth are sharper, but what scares him the most is his eyes. The yellow is so bright and shocking Keith can’t get use to them.
He is simply terrified because he doesn’t know why this is happening and is terrified about whats happening
But this is where Red steps in
She shows him that he is still a Paladian of Voltron, the Spirit of Flame, is not like the other Galra’s that he has seen because he cares for his friends, his family, his love for Shiro and that he is still him and the others will still love him even if he is Galra
She helps him so much and he is able to calm down.
Soon the rest of the Paladians find him and he still can’t control his new form and can’t really change back to how he looked before
Shiro is the first one to find Keith, and is startled by Keith’s new form but can you blame him? Having been held captive for a year by the Galra and forced to fight and be experimented on, he is not super fond of most Galra.
“K-Keith? Is that y-you?”
Keith is crying, almost terrified that Shiro will hate him but when he reaches out to him and hugs him, Keith cries even harder because he is revealed that Shiro didn’t hate him
The other Paladians are shocked when Shiro brings in Keith, and Keith seems to shy away from them but they quickly reassure him that they don’t hate him or are afraid, its just different for them
Allura is automatically okay with Keith’s new form and even helps him learn how to change back to a more human form.
He usually will stay in his new form but when they are out of the ship, he changes back to his human form but can’t seem to get his ears to go back to human, which everyone finds highly hilarious, even the Lions find it super funny
Coran shows him new fighting techniques that better fit his new speed and strength
Hunk treats him in the exact same way he did before, which Keith treats like a heaven sent miracle because it nice to be seen as the same person.
Pidge likes to ask him questions on how he feels when he goes from one form to another or if his scenes have changed at all, which is a yes, and they are just naturally curious which Keith doesn’t mind, but the constant staring when he practices or sometimes sleeps is getting to him.
Lance still likes to push his buttons as much as possible, but now likes to mess with his ears and they all learn that Keith now has claws and they are sharp. He didn’t hurt him too badly, but Lance learns that maybe he shouldn’t tickle his ears with a feather while he sleeps
It takes Shiro a lot of time to get uses to Keith but he tries not to show it. Keith understands that Shiro has issues with Galra’s but if he keeps avoiding and barley talks with Keith, he was going to snap. Keith lets Shiro get comfortable with his new form through training and just walking around the castle, and soon everything is back to normal between them besides the unresolved... feelings *cough**cough* They’re both in love but thinks the other doesn’t like them *cough**cough*
But that all changes one night when Keith just disappears. No one has seen him all day, he’s not in his room, or with Red, or training, not in any of the normal places he could usually be found. They all split off to find him, and Shiro ends up finding him in a hidden room that has a huge window that looks out in to all of space.
Keith is just sitting there, knees pulled tightly to his chest, with tears falling from his eyes
Shiro is now extremely worried, wondering why Keith is like this again because everything is going great and they have all gotten used to this new side of Keith, especially Keith himself
When he gets to him, Keith seems to shy away from him, confusing him even more. But suddenly, Keith launches himself at Shiro, enveloping him into a hug which Shiro returns and Keith just lets all of his feelings out, telling Shiro everything
Shiro sits there, holding him, listen quietly, unbelieving that Keith feels the same as him and soon as Keith stops talking and tries to pull away, Shiro pulls him in and kisses him
Keith is just happy to have finally told Shiro how he felt, even if he didn’t feel the same and tries to pull way and is shocked when he finds himself kissing Shiro but melts into it and all of his worries about being different melt away as well
Alright I’m going to end it here because this got super long and I added some extra stuff as well. I’m falling in love with the Alien!Keith idea and have so many ideas that go with it! I’m open to more ideas and any request as well guys! My ask box is open!
