Junkion Headcanons

•hoarding food can be punishable by death, but it rarely happens as they can barter services for lesser punishment •junkion philosophy is the direct opposite of the functionist ideal, they don't give a crap what you do so long as you're contributing to their society •they build underground (er, under-junk) dens for safety reasons. trust me, being smacked upside the head by jettisoned garbage is not pleasant •they forge relationships through "gifting", and if it's steady enough it could be considered romantic interest •language barriers are EVERYWHERE. if a mech can translate any language at all, they're treated with the utmost respect

Oh that reminds me, lets talk junkion biolights, like fuck we all know they dont have that vaporwave bladerunner mood ring shit, so heres some theories:

No lights (boring, a snooze, interesting for cultural reasons [an entire form of nonverbal communication missing from junkion vocabulary] but not fun otherwise. next)

christmas lights (none of that new shit either, it all looks like its from the 50s)

(Ok maybe a mix of old and new. Fuck me)

Glowsticks randomly adhesed all over their bodies

Neon with visible tubing that flickers and shit

glow-in-the-dark stickers

Glowing electric paint

See-through aquarium tubes things that houses a bunch of lava lamp shit all throughout their bodies

Tvsceen titties

no one knows what it is but its a dim gold and it makes them look like freaky metal jack-o-lanterns. Space magic or some shit

Or, alternatively, strategically-placed yellow-gold dim bulbs hidden around their frames that do the jack-o-lantern shit anyway

Traffic lights

An absurd amount of extra headlights just...here and there

Exposed blood energon piping

Whatever they can get their rusty servos on. Everyone has something different, lots of folks change it up constantly just like the rest of their frames
