Ughhhhhh I'm so annoyed because I ship literally everything in this game EXCEPT Suselle. Like I try so hard to like them and I see the potential I really do but. No matter how hard I try they just aren't as good as kriselle or krusie or ralsusie even KERDLY. I'm literally allergic to canon I swear 🤧

Thank you for your submission

I heavily dislike Krusie. Romantic Krusie, that is.

Which is a pretty heated take in and of itself, but i really don't like how people see romantic Krusie as the only way to read it. It delves into "Player projecting onto Kris" territory, but since we can't hear what they say, wouldn't any kind of interpretation have some hint of projection?

That's a random tangent, but seeing romantic Krusie (one sided though) take place in canon made me really resent the ship. Before I just ignored it, but now i just really dislike any form of content around it.

Idk maybe my aroace ass is too stubborn to accept the idea of romantic feelings and dating being a normal and "inevitable" part of adolescence. I want my Krusie only platonic or queerplatonic thank you very much.

Thank you for your submission

I love how sega doesn’t make any ship canon :)

Like actually

That way so many people can express their talent in writing and in art. With their favorite ship! 🤭✨

maybe its just me, but i am far more likely to say "I do ship this" on a post with support/reasoning behind it

Like Xaaron/Impactor? Never read those issues but that support made me instaclick "ship"

love me an argument to why I should be invested into a ship

YES THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I MADE THIS BLOG ACTUALLY!!!

The reasons WHY people ship what they do (even if it's as shrimple as "it's cute" or "they're sexy") have always fascinated me. I love breaking down what makes canon relationships (romantic or otherwise) work or not, and how that applies to non-canon ones, too. ESPECIALLY when it's a crackship of some variety. Those are my favorites to be convinced of :)

Long running franchises, such as Transformers (DC and Marvel are also good examples), are great for this because you're working with characters and settings that work more as building blocks than as a singular, polished end result. Any ship can be deeply compelling in these cases, especially if you put thought into what puts them in the same place at the same time, how the circumstances of their meeting affect their view of one another, and how their personalities mesh or clash.

It's great <3

ship dynamic:

A: shy and undermines their talent even though they’re good at it

B: seemingly distant but has a certain obsession for the product of A’s talent

(Ex. A baker and someone with a sweet tooth)

Who do you ship the girls from The Lost Village with?

I do not really have strong preferences when it comes with ships about the Grove smurfs. I’m way more attached to my childhood cartoon series (1980s HB The Smurf) than the newer series of 2020s but to which I still like it nevertheless

I also have barely read all of the Lost Village comics so I am way less familiar with the women smurfs characters aside of Storm, Blossom, Lily, Willow and Meteorite (one of my fav Grove Smurf at the moment)

The one with Storm and Smurfette is very appreciated. The rivalry but friends to lovers is a yes for me.

That’s pretty much all I can say for sure

This is the same Anon and I can try to answer the size question.

This is mostly 99% HC and 1% research.

I always visualize Smokescreen being the tallest, Swindle being the second tallest, and Swerve being the shortest.

Swindle height in TFA is really tricky to pin point since he was originally an Auto Bot form that upgraded when he defected. His obviously really short compared to the Decepticons, but is bigger then most Auto Bots. (Would love to see him reverted back to his natural height.)

Let's put his height around 19-18 ft tall.

Aligned universe has some big mechs and from my research going on forums Smokescreen is 23ft in height or 6.6 meters. His pretty average in terms of sizes but I can see him towering over the other two.

Swerve is a bit tricky to pinpoint but his height can range from 10 ft to even 14ft tall. I've heard 9 feet is the smallest a mini con would.

TDRL: The size difference trope is bountiful in this throuple.

Oh! Big Size Difference! That's wonderful!!!!

I'm very fond of size difference ships lol (like if you looked at all my default/favorite tf ships, you would see that most of them are like. Guy and his boyfriend who is half to two-thirds his height kjbfkjbsfk. It's not on purpose, I just tend to forget how tall TFs are lol)
