OK so recently I've been getting into ASMR videos (I still don't know how given I used to hate them and now we're here XD), but anyways. In some videos they eat these edible rocks/crystals to make sounds and stuff, the exterior is crunchy but the inside is like jelly.
(¬¬This guys over here¬¬)
So when I saw the blue ones, I was like "mmmm, they look a bit like energon.... wait a sec"
(YOU CAN'T TELL ME THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ENERGON!! LIKE THE COLOR AND EVERYTHING IS TOO SIMILAR!!)
(HERE'S A PHOTO FROM THE SHOW FOR COMPARISON. LOOK ME IN THE EYES AND TELL ME IT DOESN'T LOOK THE SAME XD)
So now I imagine the TFP kids making some DIY edible rocks/candy to simulate they're eating energon!
I think Miko would be the one that has the upper hand in this since one of the ingredients for the recipe comes from Japan (agar agar), so I HC she likes to prepare herself this rocks and brought with her some agar agar so she could make some during her time in America. So when she makes this connection with the energon, she immediately drags along Jack and Raf to make some!
They make some at Jack's home since June wouldn't question the intention of the rocks. And they decide not to tell the bots since they wanted to surprise them (foreshadowing lol!)
Once the rocks are ready (apparently you have to let them rest for almost a week), Jack brings them to the base to share with his friends.
And once they're gonna start indulging in it, the chaos starts lol!
Ratchet, seeing they're about to consume "energon", raw "energon" nonetheless, absolutely panics and almost pushes it out of their hands so they don't intoxicate gkkhhox
Bulkhead would try to make Miko spit it out since she would have acted like a chipmunk that puts the food in it's mouth when startled to run away quickly khchkchk
Arcee would immediately start shouting (in concern, but she's hiding it under anger) at Jack for trying to eat something they know is toxic for humans
Bee would start panicking and almost crashing out thinking Raf is gonna die (again)
I think Optimus would try to calm down everyone and ask the kids why they thought that was a good idea to do (and also panicking on the inside cause wdym his adopted-human-kids-but-can't-say-it were eating raw energon???)
And once the kids explain that no, it's not actual energon, never less raw one, it's a candy that looks like a rock and it's safe to eat, the bots would finally calm down after that sparkache
.... And then it starts again once Miko pulls out a bottle of blueberry water with edible glitter that makes it look like refined energon KGDYYKFHKHOCHO
(¬¬This type of thingy¬¬)
Let me know what you think about this silly idea!! I'm probably gonna try and do a one-shot based on this concept so I can start writing TF fics and getting the hang of writing the characters (and writing in general lol)
