Honestly this is just one of maaaaaany reasons why Chris (said with distaste) is not qualified on any account to make an Odyssey movie (with the other reasons mostly just being "I think his vision sucks.")

Fanfic meme: "Oh, come on, don't try to fool us with that slag."

Send me an ask with the first sentence of a fanfic and I’ll write the next five.

“I never joke,” Soundwave said, so seriously, that Hot Rod almost believed him. The almost turned to very nearly certain when he stepped forward to rest a hand on his shoulder. “Not about things like this.”

Hot Rod drank in the sharp angles of Soundwave’s frame, trying to memorize the way the light reflected off his (nearly pristine) armor, and wondered how long Soundwave would keep the streaks of red paint that marred his plating.

“Well, alright then--let’s try this. Together.”

bloop!! :D

AJ has magic computer breaking powers, not just in the sense that her electroconductive abilities can fire at peak frustration, but also because she’s just magically able to invite every bug in a software to happen at once. It’s like a magic trick. She doesn’t really take it too personally, but it’s one of the reasons Lucy and her aren’t as close as they could be, because Lucy takes it to mean she’s one of those people who mistreats their phones/computers and then complains about them not working.

I got tagged by @thatswhyhesprime :D

Go to your current work in progress, share the following, then tag at least 3 people. I’m tagging @angel-ascending and @megatronwasright and... no third one, b/c I don’t know who else is actively working on writing atm. I’m also cheating and giving a bit more context than just a single line, b/c the style of this thing is so clipped I feel like any individual line would not be very representative.

- The first line of the work:

”Mr Valentine, we’re five minutes out from Trost.”

The driver’s voice, coming through the speakers at the back of the Shadowfox, sounded tinny and muted. The ride from Junon had been uneventful and, after listening to the commercial radio news twice in a row, Vincent had asked the young sergeant to turn the radio off, spending most of the drive sitting in silence. His driver had probably forgotten to turn the volume back up, thinking Vincent had been sleeping.

- The first line of your current chapter.

Vincent caught up to Reeve at the double-doors. They moved inside, Reeve’s annoyed stride unbroken, setting a brisk pace through the crowd while Vincent trailed behind him, watching the mass of people for potential threats – but mostly watching Reeve.

He was looking deceptively at-ease, returning the occasional greeting and briefly engaging in question-dodging with a few of the more curious guests, but by the time they reached the back of the room, Reeve was frowning. It wasn’t hard to guess why – they’d been getting enough meaningful looks to show that their rushing had not gone unnoticed. - The last line you wrote.

The minister rolled his eyes while speaking, and when he’d finished, his gaze landed on Vincent. He opened his mouth as if to address him, before closing it again, and turning back to Reeve.

“May I speak freely around him?”

“Go ahead”, Reeve said, nodding in affirmation. “Vincent is my shadow.”

“Yes”, Leman said, giving Vincent a sweeping glance, “and a rather striking shadow he is.”

- A line for a chapter/part you haven’t written yet.

I’m actually writing this thing in order so I don’t have anything for the future chapters, and I’m not quite out of the Six Year Cocktail Party yet. The last line is where the thing ends.

#van writes stuff #all in all i'm still really satisfied with this thing!#it needs a bit of buffing stylistically -- so much of it has been exposition so far that the style is very stiff #but the content is good #and i really like the mood of it #outlierroddy #i'm sorry to disappoint you if you were expecting me to quote half a mind #i'm so close to being done with it it felt redundant #and this thing isn't as readily quotable as that one #but i love it a lot :d i've given this au a truly embarrassing amount of thought #angel ascending #rhpurasu #quote your things at me #i like your writing

I’m just gonna warn you this is gonna be like three solid paragraphs of gushing before I get to the point. Might as well tip my hand early, I mean, this is my favourite TFP character we’re talking about.

Everything in how I write Wheeljack flows from him being brilliant -- however, it’s not necessarily b/c he’s the smartest one in the room. Cognitively, Wheeljack has all the complexity of a bar of ore, he just thinks very fast, making quantitative judgements and iterating his thinking at a rate that usually puts him at about two thirds of a plan of action where most people around him are still working out what’s going on.

At the root of his intuition and ability to cut halfway through a problem in a single cognitive leap is his excellent situational awareness. His tendencies towards risk-taking are less an expression of his personality and more just a direct consequence of being able to quickly and accurately assess situations. Even when he’s off-base, he’s still fast enough to just make up a new plan as the initial one is failing.

Although that being said, his risk-taking is also informed by him having an actively pleasure-seeking personality. He gets bored if he’s not meaningfully occupied, and doing things that aren’t enriching is just huge fucking hassle he doesn’t want to deal with. This is what causes a lot of his issues with authority -- he doesn’t mind being told what to do as much as he minds people depriving him of the chance to figure out how to do it.

Oriented towards goals, plans and action as he is, he deals very badly with uncertainty. Even when there’s not enough information to make an intuitive leap, there’s always enough to go on for him to jump into a conclusion. That’s where his brilliance turns into his biggest weakness -- what he doesn’t notice or think of might as well not exist as far as he’s concerned, which is a bit of a disaster for him b/c despite being an obligate Firm Believer In Himself, that reliance on his own viewpoint doesn’t always translate to meaningful self-confidence. Being decisive is easy. Being sure of yourself isn’t.

My original phrasing of this last point was that as a consequence he’s absolute garbage at emotions, but... Honestly, not really. Like with his arrogance, there’s an element of truth to his immaturity, but mostly it’s just an affect, and he has no difficulties with his own emotional truths. The core issue is that he’s uncomfortable with emotions, and pretty damn bad at communicating about them, because with emotions, he’s never quite on as strong a footing as he’d hope, and can’t make the kind of quick, accurate judgements about them that he can make about other things.

#van's answers #transformers prime #maccadam #tfp wheeljack #outlierroddy #there's a couple of phrases that come to mind #any time i'm trying to explain to myself why exactly i love this idiot so much #one is 'jumping from a high place and growing wings on the way down'#b/c that's what a lot of his problem solving amounts to #his confidence is not an affect -- he really is that good and he knows it #another one is a quote from the comics that's something along the lines of #'usually this takes about three days so give me ten minutes'#which :'dd #:'ddddd #but it's also true though like #that's very much what wheeljack does #he specialises in knot-cutting and taking on impossible odds and making beating them look easy #he has a drive to excel but it's excellence in the very narrow category of things he considers his domain #having such a precise definition of success also means he's more flexible than your average perfectionist #(even though he does have all the hallmarks and weaknesses of a visionary -- just saying he and optimus have a lot in common)#so he's able to rapidly recover from failure and turn it into a learning opportunity #really the shit he gets snarled up in the worst is the cause of plain old lack of perspective #getting him to admit to a fuck-up is much harder than getting him to apologise for one #in summary: i'd die for this fool

Hmm.... this does look cool! What about 19 for tfp Arcee?

People they’ve hurt or indirectly killed, and how it affected them

You know, she was a scout – well, actually, she was probably more like a commando than a scout, but still a deep frontliner used to working ways away from any backup, and whenever she lost someone, we saw her take that to herself so strong that I feel like if sometime in the war, she would have provided bad intel, she would have taken the ensuing losses to be her fault. That just seems to be how she works – if she was involved, it was on her.

Maybe it wasn’t just Tailgate who died because she let herself be captured.
